James Putra, Director of Product Strategy & Innovation at TradeStation Technologies, joins The Long and The Short from a cryptocurrency cafe in Prague! He explains how the Bitcoin craze is being received in Europe and what you need to know before investing in Bitcoin.
He explains how the cryptocurrency cafe operates- only taking Bitcoin or Litecoin as payment. Baristas are even going as far as implanting chips into their hands so they can swipe their crypto wallets much quicker.
Putra also talks about the importance of learning about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies before investing. He urges people to log onto TradeStation's education platform to learn more about the market.
Social media platform Reddit has sued the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, alleging that it is illegally “scraping” the comments of Reddit users to train its chatbot Claude.
President Donald Trump wants his “big, beautiful” bill of tax breaks and spending cuts on his desk to be singed into law by Independence Day. And he’s pushing the slow-rolling Senate to make it happen sooner rather than later. Trump met with Senate Majority Leader John Thune at the White House early this week and has been dialing senators for one-on-one chats, using both the carrot and stick to encourage them to act. But it’s still a long road ahead for the bill. Senators want to make changes to protect Medicaid and to make sure some tax breaks become permanent. Elon Musk called the whole bill a "disgusting abomination.”
