In the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain, a few individuals have become celebrities—or at least somewhat famous—due to their involvement in the industry.
Cryptocurrency has become a mainstream phenomenon, with immense potential for revolutionizing the way we do business and use digital currency.

Entrepreneurs who seek startup capital through crowdfunding and the private placement investors who provide that funding now have more than three years of experience with new Rule 506(c) under SEC Regulation D.

When Russia invaded Ukraine early in 2022, it sparked not only war between the two nations but also turmoil across the globe.
To punish Russia for the invasion, many Western states, including Germany, the U.K., and Europe imposed economic sanctions. This led Russia, Europe’s largest energy supplier, to cut the main supply of gas to many European nations, sending Europe into a massive energy crisis.
