The price of Bitcoin hit a new high today, briefly breaking $76,000 at about 4:25 p.m. Eastern, surging past its previous all-time high of $73,794 set on March 14, 2024. While not directly impacted by Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 presidential election, president-elect Trump's return to the White House is viewed as being favorable for the crypto industry—especially in terms of regulation and the potential development of a strategic Bitcoin stockpile. If you’ve been looking to invest in Bitcoin but are not sure how to invest in assets other than physical coins or tokens, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may be the answer. And these ETFs can be purchased using many of the top online brokerage platforms.

UK, a surprising turn of events may leave arachnophobes unsettled. The country is seeing a boom in giant Fen Raft spiders, with some reaching the size of a human palm. Nearly ten years after Chester Zoo first began reintroducing these spiders to save them from extinction, the arachnid population has grown massively. Now, more than 10,000 breeding females are flourishing, marking a remarkable comeback for the species. «Ten years ago, we helped release thousands of giant spiders back into the UK. The Fen Raft Spiders were bred right here at the zoo, and we're super happy to report there are now more than 10,000 breeding females, and they've just had the biggest mating season on record!» Chester Zoo said in a statement. The conservation efforts have been hailed as a success, with the zoo expressing pride in its role in bringing back a species once on the brink of extinction.

In this field, the fundamental principles of wealth-building rarely change—start early, save regularly, invest carefully, trust equity, avoid unproductive debt, and think long term. Yet, each week, I sit down to share these permanent truths through fresh perspectives, new examples, and current context that can appear relevant to today’s readers. The challenge isn’t finding new truths; it’s helping readers rediscover the old ones in ways that click with them and create that moment when interest and knowledge transition to genuine understanding. Of course, the job is made easier because, at the fundamental level, readers, too, need the same points to be emphasised again and again, and the same warnings offered repeatedly. For instance, the perennial allure of market timing has made the current market decline even more attractive. No matter how often one warns against it, each market cycle brings a fresh wave of investors convinced that they can spot the perfect moment to buy or sell. Or consider the fatal attraction of derivatives, hot tips and investment fads like crypto. The packaging changes, but the targeted speculative impulse remains unchanged. What makes financial writing both challenging and rewarding is that people are remarkably consistent in their behavioural patterns, even as they convince themselves that ‘this time it’s different’. Perhaps that’s why the best financial advice often feels obvious when stated, and difficult to follow in practice.

Yogi Adityanath coined 'batenge toh katenge' (divided we fall) much before the bypolls were announced, a Samajwadi Party worker from the Deoria district put up a hoarding outside the party's office in Lucknow, which read 'judenge to jeetenge' (united we win). The hoardings by another SP worker from the Maharajganj district says 'na batenge, na katenge, PDA ke sang rahenge' (we will neither get divided nor we will fall) and 'PDA jodegi aur jeetegi' (PDA will unite and win). The BSP too jumped in the slogan fray with its chief Mayawati on Saturday saying, «BSP se judenge toh aage badhenge, surakshit rahenge'' (people will progress and remain safe with the BSP's).

Uniform Civil Code (UCC) would be implemented in Jharkhand, Chief Minister Hemant Soren hit back saying neither the UCC nor the National Register of Citizens (NRC) would be allowed in the state. Soren emphasised that Jharkhand would adhere only to the Chotanagpur Tenancy (CNT) and Santhal Pargana Tenancy (SPT) Acts to protect tribal culture, land, and rights. «Neither the UCC nor the NRC will be implemented here. Jharkhand will rely solely on the Chotanagpur Tenancy and Santhal Pargana Tenancy Acts. These people (the BJP) are spewing venom and do not care about tribals, natives, Dalits, or backward communities,» Soren said at a rally in Garhwa. Soren's reaction followed Shah's remarks while releasing the BJP's manifesto, in which he said, «Our government will introduce the UCC in Jharkhand, but tribals will be kept out of its ambit. Hemant Soren and the JMM government are making false propaganda that the UCC will impact tribal rights, culture, and relevant legislation, which is totally baseless.»
