Bitcoin is nearly double where it was a year ago. This is what's behind the run

cnbc.com Mackenzie Sigalos 2025-07-27 17:39:57

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.

This Special Edition Release of ‘It’ Is Both Gorgeous and Terrifying

It has been a TV miniseries and a two-part feature film, and a prequel series—It: Welcome to Derry—is coming to HBO later this year. But there’s no out-creeping the original 1986 Stephen King novel, released long before the phrase “un-Google-able title” came into existence. With over 1,100 pages, it’s one of King’s longest works, and to have even a paperback copy means you’ll need ample shelf space.

For example, if you ask ChatGPT to give you someone’s phone number or instructions for doing something illegal, it will likely just tell you it cannot help. However, as many examples over time have shown, clever prompt engineering or model fine-tuning can sometimes get these models to say things they otherwise wouldn’t.
