U.Today – Billy Markus, who teamed up with Jackson Palmer to create the original meme-themed cryptocurrency in 2013, took to his account on the X social media platform to share his expectations on the HBO movie that is coming out next week, promising to reveal the true identity of the mysterious creator Satoshi Nakamoto. It is worth noting that Dogecoin was made as a joke on Bitcoin, using BTC code as a basis. Besides, Markus is known on X as “Shibetoshi Nakamoto” — another joking reference to the Bitcoin creator’s pseudonym. Polymarket users bet Len Sassaman was SatoshiIn the meantime,…

For 72-year-old Jacqueline Withers, retirement has been rocky. And she’s not alone, as it turns out.Eight years ago, the Jacksonville, N.C. resident stepped away from her job as a home healthcare aide because of a heart condition. She tapped into her Social Security. But it was not — then or now — enough to make ends meet. Her $1,700 monthly check only covers 90% of her very basic living costs. The remaining 10%? A measly pension takes care of that.The trouble is, she said, “I don’t have enough income to pay my medical bills and buy decent food to live…
Image source: Getty Images It goes without saying that the Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) share price has been in magnificent form for a while. Go back four years and I could have picked up the stock for just under 40p a pop in my lockdown-induced haze. Fast-forward to when I’m typing this and the price sits close to 530p. I tip my Foolish hat to anyone who managed to ride this incredible recovery. I’m also asking whether there’s a chance of another FTSE stock rising from the ashes in a similar fashion. Share price crash! In almost a complete reversal of…
U.Today – A whale holding over $72.5 million Bitcoin from 2009 has sent a total of $3.58 million BTC to Kraken with their most recent movements yesterday, according to Arkham Intelligence. This Bitcoin was mined only one month after the initial cryptocurrency’s launch in March 2009. Earlier, Sept. 24, this Bitcoin whale moved 5 BTC to Kraken. As of now, the wallet still holds approximately $72.5 million, or 2,049.95 BTC. Bitcoin surged 3% on Friday, climbing past $62,000 following a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report.

Image source: Sam Robson, The Motley Fool UK I have been following electric vehicle maker NIO (NYSE: NIO) for a while. But I am still surprised at the recent price action. NIO stock has jumped over 80% in a matter of weeks, since the end of August! That sort of remarkable rise is the stuff of investor dreams. It also underlines how volatile the NIO stock price can be, though. It has more than quadrupled in five years, but remains almost 90% below its 2021 peak. So, could now be the time to add the company into my portfolio? Business…
In the US, you have two versions of the Lotus Emira to choose from: the base four-cylinder model or the V-6. The base model, powered by an AMG-sourced engine, produces a respectable 360 horsepower, while the V-6 offers a more robust 400 horsepower. However, in certain international markets—specifically Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa—a more powerful four-cylinder variant is available for 2025. This new Lotus Emira SE retains the same turbocharged 2.0-liter AMG four-cylinder engine, but now it generates 400 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque—a boost of 40 horsepower and 37 lb-ft over the previous version. Notably, this…
MILAN (Reuters) – Italian prosecutors on Saturday accused seven people and two sub-contractors of crimes including fraud and breaching airplane safety rules following an investigation into suspected flawed parts produced by an Italian company for Boeing (NYSE:). The prosecutors launched their investigation in late 2021 after Boeing said some parts for its 787 Dreamliner plane supplied by a company working for Italian aerospace group Leonardo had been improperly manufactured. Investigators found that two Italian sub-contractors used cheaper and non-compliant forms of titanium and aluminium to make certain parts, saving significant sums of money on their raw material costs, the prosecutors…
Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has long touted autonomous vehicles as the future of the company.At his shareholder meeting in June, Musk said the technology alone would boost the company’s value by at least tenfold.But with Musk set to unveil details on Oct. 10 about an autonomous taxi fleet he has teased for years, skeptics caution that robotaxis may be years away from becoming a profitable venture.“It might be a little difficult to get crazy excited,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Narayan said about the potential stock reaction for Tesla. “This is far into the future, so we just don’t…
Typically, you can’t purchase a car equipped with experimental racing technology, but this pre-production 1980 Lotus Esprit ‘Essex’ Turbo is far from an ordinary road car. It originally served as a pre-production model loaned to DeLorean. A few years later, Lotus Engineering reacquired the car and outfitted it with an experimental active suspension system designed for Formula One racing. This particular Esprit, painted in John Player Special (JPS) colors—reflecting JPS’s role as the Lotus F1 sponsor at the time—was featured in several promotional events, including an appearance on Top Gear with F1 driver Nigel Mansell at the wheel. After completing…
Did you know that the Lexus LC500 is among the poorest-selling vehicles in America? It’s true—Lexus has only sold 1,294 units so far this year. However, this fact shouldn’t deter you from purchasing one (if your budget allows). For 2025, Lexus is introducing a few subtle updates to its impressive, V-8-powered sports car. The Lexus LC500 enters 2025 with minor enhancements and a slightly increased price tag. The starting price is now $100,425, including destination fees—a modest rise of $625 compared to the previous year’s model. The hybrid version is priced at $103,575, while the convertible sits at the top…
