Could Tokenization Save “The One?”
"The One" sits on 3.8 acres, its elevated position allows for 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, downtown Los Angeles, and the San Gabriel Mountains. The main home is surrounded on three sides by a moat (but no alligators) and spans 105,000 square feet—the master bedroom alone is 5,500 square feet and has a patio with a swimming pool and hot tub that overlook the city.

Bitcoin ETF’s Are Two Months Old. How’s It Going?
This week will be the two month "birthday" of the launch of a Bitcoin ETF. Well, actually on the 18th to be precise (the Pro Shares Bitcoin ETF launched October 18th). And, actually, the ETF holds only futures not actual spot Bitcoin. AND, actually actually, it's not going well. To be fair, it has not been a good two months for the actual "physical" spot Bitcoin either. But a futures based ETF will always underperform a product that directly holds physical assets. Thank you, SEC.
Is the U.S. Too Big To Fail?
Nothing is too big to fail. Not businesses, not people, empires or even countries. Sometimes it's a slow "death," sometimes its quick and messy and sometimes its a combination of those two.

People may not remember but in January 2001, the very same El Salvador gave up control of its monetary policy, abandoned the fixed exchange rate and "dollarized" the economy, thus making the U.S. currency in El Salvador legal tender.
