**Bitcoin Slips as Goldman Bets on Yen—Is BTC Losing Its Safe-Haven Status?**

April 2, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Goldman Sachs has identified the Japanese yen as the strongest hedge against rising U.S. recession risks, emphasizing its historical reliability in uncertain market conditions. On Wednesday, Bitcoin struggled against the yen, dropping 1% after failing to break key resistance levels, while broader financial markets braced for potential economic fallout from President Donald Trump’s new tariffs.

Despite some crypto analysts viewing Bitcoin as a haven asset, Goldman maintains that the yen is the superior safeguard against economic downturns, citing its resilience when U.S. equities and real interest rates decline. The strengthening yen could also trigger risk-off sentiment, similar to last year’s unwinding of yen-funded trades, which led to sharp declines in both stock markets and Bitcoin. Goldman forecasts further yen appreciation, expecting the USD/JPY exchange rate to fall into the low 140s, reinforcing its status as a key safe-haven currency.

### **Aiden McGeady Remembers His Magical Wembley Moment**

Aiden McGeady is widely regarded as a modern Sunderland legend, his five-year stint leaving a lasting imprint on the club’s history. Among his most unforgettable performances was the 2018/19 EFL Trophy Final against Portsmouth, where he delivered two stunning goals—an early free-kick masterpiece and a dramatic 119th-minute equalizer. Yet, despite the heroics, Sunderland fell short in a heartbreaking 5-4 penalty shootout defeat.

Reflecting on that electric afternoon, McGeady recalled the sheer magnitude of the occasion. *“It was probably the atmosphere that made it so special. Eighty thousand fans, split between Sunderland and Portsmouth, for a League One trophy final—it was unbelievable.”*

Though the trophy eluded them, the experience remains etched in his memory. *“When I scored that second goal, we all went mad. For a moment, it felt like destiny. But then reality hit… penalties. And we all thought, ‘We’ve just come back, surely we’ll win this.’”*

The outcome may not have been what Sunderland fans had hoped for, but McGeady’s performance cemented his place in club folklore—a reminder of the passion and heartbreak that comes with chasing glory at Wembley.

March 31, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Elon Musk has put an end to speculation about Dogecoin’s involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), confirming that the government has no plans to use the memecoin. His statement came during a town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he explained that the agency’s name was inspired by internet suggestions rather than any connection to cryptocurrency. Despite the lack of official ties, the department’s launch in August had previously sparked a surge in Dogecoin-related tokens and contributed to a months-long rally. Meanwhile, D.O.G.E. continues its mission to streamline government spending, reportedly saving taxpayers an estimated $130 billion since January.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $196 million inflow last week, contrasting with ether ETFs, which saw net outflows. In the crypto space, $751.2 million in token unlocks are set for release this week, with a significant $4.4 billion expected in May.

March 31, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Everton manager David Moyes has reportedly sent former Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam to scout Sunderland’s rising star, Chris Rigg. However, despite their long-standing interest, Everton is unwilling to meet Sunderland’s hefty £40 million valuation for the 17-year-old midfielder. West Ham is also monitoring Rigg but is only prepared to offer around £10 million.

Meanwhile, Sunderland head coach Régis Le Bris has dismissed reports of a formal £38 million bid from Tottenham, emphasizing that Rigg remains fully committed to the club. The young midfielder himself recently reiterated his passion for Sunderland, stating that wearing the club’s shirt and giving his all on the pitch is incredibly special to him.

You Won’t Believe Who Just Got Named the Giants’ Most Overpaid Player!

March 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Despite ongoing injury concerns, Andrew Thomas remains the most valuable piece of the Giants’ offensive line. Analyst Brad Gagnon of *Bleacher Report* has labeled him the team’s “most overpaid” player, citing his five-year, $117.5 million contract and limited availability over the past two seasons. However, when healthy, Thomas has been the Giants’ top-performing lineman, posting elite pass-blocking and run-blocking grades. The challenge for the team now is keeping him on the field—because when he’s absent, the difference is undeniable.

I Witnessed Sunderland’s Bold Alan Browne Experiment at Full-Back vs Millwall – Here’s the Surprising Truth

March 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Alan Browne’s unexpected shift to right-back for Sunderland was a move born out of necessity, but it quickly proved to be an inspired decision. With a mounting injury crisis in defence, head coach Regis Le Bris took a gamble by deploying Browne in an unfamiliar role, while shifting Trai Hume to the left. The reshuffle paid off, with Hume delivering a match-winning performance and Browne adapting seamlessly despite his lack of experience in defence. His solid positioning and composed distribution added an unexpected dimension to Sunderland’s play, neutralizing Millwall’s attacking threats. What was meant to be a temporary fix may now present Le Bris with a serious selection dilemma ahead of the trip to West Brom.

Pi Network in Trouble? Why Pi Coin Could Crash to Zero While This Crypto Takes Over in 2025!

March 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

As Pi Network struggles with a sharp price decline and growing concerns over its centralized structure, Rollblock (RBLK) is emerging as a dominant force in the GameFi sector for 2025. With Pi’s price dropping 62% in the past month due to heavy selling pressure, many investors are shifting their focus to Rollblock’s deflationary supply model, which could fuel a massive rally.

Rollblock is revolutionizing GambleFi with AI-powered gaming, real-time sports betting, and full blockchain transparency. Its innovative revenue-sharing model, which burns a portion of tokens to reduce supply, has driven significant investor interest. With rapid user growth and major presale success, analysts predict Rollblock could soar to $1 in 2025, positioning it as a top-performing crypto in its niche.

Shocking Twist: Trump Pardons BitMEX Founders Convicted of Money Laundering!

March 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Former President Donald Trump has granted pardons to BitMEX co-founders Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed, who had pleaded guilty in 2022 to violating the Bank Secrecy Act. The trio was accused of failing to implement proper anti-money laundering measures, leading to BitMEX being labeled a platform for money laundering.

Delo, in a statement, argued that the prosecution was politically motivated and based on an outdated law, expressing gratitude for Trump’s intervention. Prosecutors, however, maintained that the founders knowingly allowed illicit activity and had pushed for harsher sentences. With their convictions now overturned, the case reignites debates over cryptocurrency regulation and enforcement.

XRP to $10,000? The Shocking Breakdown You Need to See!

March 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Crypto analyst Joshua Jake recently addressed the bold prediction that XRP could reach $10,000 per coin, dismissing it as unrealistic. He argued that factors like ETF approvals, institutional adoption, and TradFi involvement are unlikely to trigger such a surge, pointing to Bitcoin’s ETFs as proof that institutional interest alone cannot drive extreme price increases.

Jake also challenged the idea that market capitalization is irrelevant, emphasizing that at $10,000 per coin, XRP’s market cap would reach an impossible $1 quadrillion—far exceeding the total global wealth. He further debunked claims that banks would push XRP’s price that high, noting that financial institutions are more likely to develop their own blockchain solutions rather than give Ripple overwhelming control.

While acknowledging XRP’s potential, Jake urged investors to remain cautious, warning against falling for exaggerated price targets that could lead to disappointment.
