Maya Parbhoe, a pro-Bitcoin presidential candidate in Suriname who disappeared from social media after posting a number of concerning messages, has blamed the bizarre posts on the effects of heavy medication while recovering from giving birth in hospital. Concern for Parbhoe’s safety grew last week after she tweeted, “Help” and uploaded a livestream titled “Life and family under threat.

1. Current Situation: Bitcoin Reserves and Trump’s Energy Policy Amid intensifying global competition for Bitcoin reserves, the U.S. government has accumulated approximately 200,000 Bitcoins (worth around $17 billion) through law enforcement seizures and has established a “strategic Bitcoin reserve pool” prohibiting their sale.

These resources...
