Sure different forms of cryptocurrencies may be surging, but you might not want to write-off Bitcoin...at least not yet! Jake Yocom-Piatt, the project lead at fellow cryptocurrency Decred, told Cheddar that the newly-discovered coins might not be eclipsing Bitcoin anytime soon. “For all we know Bitcoin may fall, but right now it’s the dominant cryptocurrency and it looks like it’s going to stay that way, at least for the short-term,” he said. “Whether that’s going to remain the case in the longer term it’s hard to say.” But investors are exploring other options. Tron, which launched last September, has leapt into the top 10 in terms of market cap in just four months. Its most recent surge was helped by founder Justin Sun’s announcement this week that Tron will announce a partnership with a “prestigious public” company next week.

Apple posts stronger-than-expected Q2 results
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
