I previously wrote about how it had one major fault, but is the compact phone for content consumption in 2025.

Bitcoin traded around $116,000 on Tuesday, falling back from a historic surge that briefly sent the world's largest cryptocurrency past $123,000 for the first time. Even with the pullback, the cryptocurrency is still trading at nearly twice its level from a year ago. Unlike previous cycles, the record run isn't being driven by retail mania or meme-stock energy.
