However, as time went on, I felt I lost my direction in the cryptocurrency space. After going full-time, the most...

Author: Azuma, Odaily Planet Daily On December 2, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company, released its 2026 Investment Outlook report.

Original Title: Bitcoin Miners Hunted After Stealing $1 Billion of Electricity From Malaysia Grid Original Authors: Ryan Weeks, Kok Leong Chan, Netty Idayu Ismail Original Source: Repost: Mars Finance In Malaysia’s hotspots for illegal cryptocurrency mining, the crackdown begins from the air. Drones hover over rows of shops and abandoned houses, searching for abnormal heat sources—the typical thermal signals of illegal mining rigs in operation. On the ground, police use handheld sensors to detect unusual electricity usage. Sometimes, the investigative methods are even more primitive: residents report strange bird calls, only for the police to discover that someone is deliberately playing nature sounds to mask the tightly sealed rooms.
