Centre using NEP to create discord: Uddhav Thackeray
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday expressed his support to Tamil Nadu on the issue of National Educational Policy, saying that the Centre is using the issue to create discord and division in the country. Thackeray said that he agreed with Tamil actor Kamal Haasan who said that the BJP government at the Centre was trying to create 'Hindia'. «Kamal Haasan was right when he said they (Centre) want to create Hindia, they want to create discord in the country. I recently met people from Bihar who said that there were several languages of the state that have become extinct because of Hindi, we are not against Hindi but the BJP wants to create division and rule (with the language issue), said Thackeray while addressing party cadres in Mumbai. The Sena UBT chief had called the party meeting to rebuild the organisation with an eye on the upcoming Mumbai civic elections likely to be held in October-November this year. The Mumbai civic elections are significant for the Sena UBT as the party derived its power from ruling the Mumbai civic body for several decades. However, with Eknath Shinde splitting the united Shiv Sena, several former corporators from the Mumbai civic body have crossed over to the Shiv Sena.

Ayushmann Khurrana celebrates 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' for challenging gender norms, says 'Dream Girl 2' will take it further
Ayushmann Khurrana on Tuesday said he has challenged the idea of "toxic masculinity" right from the beginning of his career and is confident his upcoming film 'Dream Girl 2' will take the discourse to another level. At the trailer launch of 'Dream Girl 2', the actor was asked to comment on how Karan Johar's latest film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' challenges gender stereotypes by showing two men — characters played by Ranveer Singh and Tota Roy Choudhury — perform Kathak on 'Dola Re Dola', a song from 'Devdas' featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit Nene. Khurrana, who plays the role of a cross dresser in 'Dream Girl 2', said he is happy to see the audience accept a film like 'Rocky Aur Rani...' «From the beginning, I've criticised toxic masculinity. I'm glad that 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' is doing well. They have set a good ground to address toxic masculinity because our film is going to take it to the next level. »It's good to see people accepting these kinds of films on social causes or trying to say something about breaking stereotypes. It's not just the messaging in the film ('Dream Girl 2'), it has a lot of comedy as well," the actor told reporters here. Khurrana said he is glad to count himself in the company of actors like Kamal Haasan, Govinda, and Kishore Kumar, who have in the past transformed into a woman in different movies.

Crypto slide puts outlook of a billion investors by 2023 to test
Trading-platform Crypto.com estimates 1 billion people will invest in cryptocurrencies by the end of this year. It’s a lofty target. Not only is it more than triple the amount from last year, based on the company’s data, but many suspect Bitcoin and other digital assets are entering a crypto winter. A continued slide in risk assets this month has seen Bitcoin shed roughly 45% of its value from a high in November. It’s enough to bring back fears of a drawn-out bear market like the one in 2018. But evangelists aren’t yet backing down from calls for widespread usage and rising prices.

Crypto exchange Bakkt has tumbled 90% since October debut
marketplace Bakkt Holdings Inc. have dropped to all-time lows, wiping out about $10 billion in market value since reaching a record high following the firm’s much-touted public market debut in October. The platform, majority owned by New York Stock Exchange parent Intercontinental Exchange Inc., began trading in October after the close of a $2.1 billion SPAC deal. The shares rose as high as $50.80 shortly thereafter as cryptocurrency prices surged, pushing the exchange’s market value to around $11 billion. Bakkt, which fell as low as $3.31 on Friday, ended the week at $3.61. Bakkt’s stock has steadily dropped as losses and roiling markets pushed investors to take cover. The market value sank below $1 billion this week for the first time.

View: How crypto became the new subprime
stock market isn't the economy — which it isn't — then cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin really, really aren't the economy. Still, crypto has become a pretty big asset class (and yielded huge capital gains to many buyers); by last fall the combined market value of cryptocurrencies had reached almost $3 trillion. Since then, however, prices have crashed, wiping out around $1.3 trillion in market capitalization. As of Thursday morning, Bitcoin's price was almost halfway down from its November peak. So who is being hurt by this crash, and what might it do to the economy? Well, I'm seeing uncomfortable parallels with the subprime crisis of the 2000s. No, crypto doesn't threaten the financial system; the numbers aren't big enough to do that. But there's growing evidence that the risks of crypto are falling disproportionately on people who don't know what they are getting into and are poorly positioned to handle the downside.

Facebook's cryptocurrency venture to wind down and sell tech assets
Meta Platforms Inc's digital currency venture Diem Association is winding down and selling its technology to California-based Silvergate Capital Corp for about $200 million, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing a person familiar with the matter. Meta, formerly Facebook Inc, first unveiled plans for Diem, known as Libra earlier, in June 2019, as part of an effort to expand beyond social networking into e-commerce and global payments. The project immediately ran into fierce opposition from policymakers globally, who worried it could erode their control over the money system, enable crime, and harm users' privacy.

Newly-minted crypto politicians find ways to ride the tech wave
Bitcoin. The ballooning popularity of Bitcoin and other digital currencies has given rise to a strange new political breed: the crypto mayor. Eric Adams, New York's new mayor, accepted his first paycheck in Bitcoin and another cryptocurrency, Ether. Francis Suarez, Miami's mayor, headlines crypto conferences. Now even mayors of smaller towns are trying to incorporate crypto into municipal government, courting startups and experimenting with buzzy new technologies like NFTs to raise money for public projects. Their growing ranks reflect the increasing mainstream acceptance of digital currencies, which are highly volatile. «Mayors rationally want to attract high-income citizens who pay their taxes and impose few costs on the municipality,» said Joseph Grundfest, a business professor at Stanford. But as with many ambitious crypto projects, it's unclear whether these local initiatives will ultimately amount to much. So far, most are either largely symbolic or theoretical.
