I have followed Bitstamp for years and used to recommend it without hesitation. It launched in 2011, sits among the oldest exchanges still operating, and earned a reputation for boring competence at a time when the rest of the industry was anything but. Robinhood Markets bought it in June 2025 for $200 million, which on […]

This is an ideal read for the European investor who is looking for growing his/her wealth fast and is ready to assume more risk. There are very few, if any, get-rich-quick schemes that work long-term in the world, however, it is true that some investing and trading strategies can get you on the path to […]

Trade options on Deribit I recently wrote an in-depth guide on Bitcoin futures – where I explained that they meet the needs of a certain type of investor that wishes to place sophisticated trades.

Once you buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other cryptoasset, you’re not done. The hard part is what comes next — deciding how to custody your crypto. If you own a significant amount, the biggest problem you need to solve is keeping it secure. Self-custody is ideal for some, but others want third-party solutions that offload […]

In this article, I’ll take a look at Turbo Loans, which are a feature of one of my favorite crypto lending platforms – YouHodler.
