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.

Shares of Children’s Place Inc. (PLCE) soared in pre-market trading on Monday, pushing the stock to nearly four-month highs.

According to Ortex data, short positions as a percentage of the company’s free float increased from 21.5% to 29.5% last week, reaching a four-month high.Children’s Place has managed to pull itself back from the brink of bankruptcy earlier this year, thanks to backing from Saudi Arabia-based Mithaq Capital.Despite these positive developments, the stock is starting to resemble a classic ‘meme stock’ — volatile and driven by speculative retail traders.On Stocktwits, many retail investors have turned ‘extremely bearish’ (24/100) on PLCE, expressing skepticism over its sustainability post-earnings.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1314/308;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/PLCE_retail_sentiment_and_message_volume_Sep_16_pre_market_bd5f15533f.png" alt="PLCE retail sentiment and message volume Sep 16 pre-market" width="1314" height="308"><figcaption>PLCE retail sentiment and message volume Sep 16 pre-market.</figcaption></figure>“Look for yourself at the charts.

Shares of The Children’s Place, Inc. (PLCE) surged more than 60% on Wednesday after the retailer posted a surprise second-quarter profit, defying analyst expectations of a significant loss and sending retail investors into a frenzy.Children’s Place reported adjusted earnings of $0.30 per share for the quarter ended Aug. 3, versus the consensus estimate of a $1.05 per share loss. Revenue came in at $319.7 million, slightly below the $320.14 million forecast and down 7.5% from the same period last year.Interim CEO Muhammad Umair attributed the unexpected profit to strategic and operational changes aimed at improving profitability and setting the foundation for future growth.“We proactively made certain strategic and operational changes to improve the profitability of the business, and we were pleased with the results,” he said.Cost-cutting measures were a significant factor, with adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses slashed by over 13% to a 15-year low of $88.3 million.&nbsp;Comparable retail sales dropped 7.2%, driven mainly by a planned decrease in e-commerce as the company cut unprofitable online sales. However, physical stores saw their first positive comparable store sales since 2021, boosted by stronger units per transaction, improved conversion rates, and better traffic trends.The company closed three stores during the quarter, ending with 515 stores.As of Aug. 3, Children’s Place had $9.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, with $316.7 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility and no long-term debt.<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PLCE"><img style="aspect-ratio:1312/306;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/PLCE_sentiment_and_message_volume_Sep_11_7445901a5b.png" alt="PLCE sentiment and message volume Sep 11.png" width="1312" height="306"></a><figcaption>PLCE sentiment and message volume Sep 11</figcaption></figure>Retail sentiment on Stocktwits soared, with the sentiment score flipping to ‘extremely bullish’ (94/100), the highest level this year accompanied by a surge in message volume.Children’s Place has seen its stock fall over 64% this year due to broader weaknesses in the retail sector amid high inflation and shifting consumer behaviors.The stock’s rebound also comes after a leadership shake-up in May, when longtime CEO Jane Elfers left the company under a “mutual agreement,” and Umair, with a finance background, stepped in as interim CEO.The company has also seen a significant shift in its ownership structure, with Saudi-based Mithaq Capital acquiring 54% of its outstanding shares in February, a move that was labeled a “change of control” by the company.Read next: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news/markets/equity/bank-of-america-ceo-can-t-figure-out-warren-buffett-s-motive-as-berkshire-s-stake-sale-tops-7-b-retail-turns-bearish/c7zHZtsRPH">Bank of America CEO Can’t Figure Out Warren Buffett’s Motive As Berkshire’s Stake Sale Tops $7B: Retail Turns Bearish</a>
