Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Roblox Under Fire As It Reportedly Vows AI-Driven Safety Measures After Being Linked To Child Stabbing Case In Malaysia

Following a violent incident, the company has promised to implement tighter monitoring and comply with local laws.

Roblox Corp. (RBLX) stock slipped nearly 2% in Tuesday’s early premarket session despite a Wall Street firm issuing positive commentary on the immersive gaming and creation platform. Broader market weakness, as indicated by index futures, dragged by adverse geopolitical catalysts, may be pressuring the stock.In a note released late Sunday, Morgan Stanley analysts maintained an ‘Overweight’ rating on&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RBLX">Roblox stock</a> and a $170 price target, a note summary posted by the Fly showed. The research firm’s price target implies roughly 35% upside from the stock’s closing price of $128.24 on Monday. Morgan Stanley’s bull-case valuation for the stock is $300.Analysts at Morgan Stanley called Roblox a ‘clear leader” in the next-generation entertainment platforms with a path to over one billion users by 2030. The company ended its second quarter with daily active users (DAUs) of 111.8 million, with the metric growing 41% year-over-year. The analysts said they see parallels with user-generated content winners such as Alphabet’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) (GOOG) YouTube. They also pointed to Roblox’s strong position in artificial intelligence (AI).&nbsp;The stock came under selling pressure in early October when an analyst raised concerns about bookings. M Science analyst Corey Barret&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/roblox-stock-falls-amid-concerns-over-slowing-growth-in-core-markets-4270460">said</a> in a report that bookings growth decelerated sharply in September from recent highs, dropping to a low-30% YoY percentage range, Investing.com reported. The analyst also flagged softness in core European markets. He attributed the predicament to the "rationalization of growth in more mature markets associated with back-to-school."Second-quarter bookings climbed 51% YoY, and the company guided to third-quarter bookings of $1.59 billion to $1.64 billion, suggesting 41%-45% growth. That said, Barret noted that bookings growth in non-core markets remained strong and that mobile DAU growth accelerated sequentially across the markets in the third quarter.&nbsp;Since then, Citi raised the price target for Roblox stock to $155 from $152 and maintained a ‘Buy’ rating. Citing data from RoMonitor, Citi said third-quarter bookings and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and taxes (EBITDA) will likely beat expectations. The firm also expects the company to raise its 2025 guidance.
