Twitter's decision to permanently ban Donald Trump from its platform is "problematic," according to German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Her chief spokesman, Steffan Seibert, said rules relating to free speech should be made by lawmakers, not via "a corporate decision." Her stance was echoed by French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who warned of the danger posed by what he called "the digital oligarchy." France and Germany's leaders have condemned the violence at the U.S. Capitol, and Trump's rhetoric. At the same time, Europe is increasingly pushing back against the growing influence of big tech.

The U.K.'s financial watchdog has a stark warning for consumers looking to profit from the latest crypto boom: be ready to lose everything. "Investing in cryptoassets, or investments and lending linked to them, generally involves taking very high risks with investors' money," the Financial Conduct Authority said in a statement. “If consumers invest in these types of product, they should be prepared to lose all their money." Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, has more than quadrupled in the past year, hitting a record high near $42,000 on Friday before sliding as much as 21% over Sunday and Monday. Link in bio.

Nearly $170 billion wiped off cryptocurrency market in 24 hours as bitcoin pulls back

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/11/bitcoin-btc-price-nearly-170-billion-wiped-off-entire-cryptocurrency-market.html Looks like a 20% drop on Sunday means that the Bitcoin bubble is popped at least in the near term.

I personally think it will probably bounce back up within a month or two, and the roller coaster will continue again.

The U.S. House will take up a resolution to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time in less than two years, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. More than 200 House Democrats have signed on to an impeachment resolution that accuses Trump of “Incitement of Insurrection” in connection with the storming of the Capitol by his supporters. The House could move quickly on impeachment, but the Senate is in recess and could not begin to hold a trial before Jan. 19 at the earliest. Click the link in bio to read what could happen next.
