'Black Swan' author admits his major Bitcoin mistake
During his recent appearance on Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast, prominent mathematician and author of bestseller "Black Swan" Nassim Nicholas Taleb admitted his major mistake regarding Bitcoin. He criticized the market’s biggest cryptocurrency, calling it "a very fragile commodity." Taleb continued by saying that Bitcoin is controlled by a small number of people and that it is merely a book entry that must be maintained.

XRP forms its first 2023 golden cross: details
After forming a "golden cross" back in October 2022, Ripple-affiliated token XRP once again witnessed such a pattern on its daily chart yesterday as XRP's daily moving average (MA) 50 crossed above the MA 200. Even though many analysts and traders interpret a "golden cross" as a bullish indication, it does not represent an absolute signal and might trap buyers on the wrong side of the market. This is because the token could have already been overbought and due for a correction by the time a golden cross was formed. At the moment of writing, XRP is changing hands at $0.507, up 1% over the past 24 hours, per CoinMarketCap.
Cardano (ADA) holders are going to be heavily rewarded, but no guarantees: Dan Gambardello

According to Gambardello or, more precisely, his "intuition," those ADA holders who have endured the last 1.5 years are going to be "heavily rewarded." However, he pointed out that there are "zero guarantees" here as these are only his suggestions. Earlier this week, the Crypto Capital Venture founder tweeted that he believes in ADA's price recovery since the Total Value Locked on the Cardano chain keeps growing, and he reckons this will be a key factor for ADA's future price growth.
