Bitcoin Kiosks: Convenience or Crime Scene? You've probably walked past one in a convenience store or gas station— a hulking machine promising instant access to Bitcoin , often plastered with logos and flashing screens. Bitcoin kiosks , also known as cryptocurrency ATMs , have proliferated across neighborhoods worldwide. But if you're like most digital currency enthusiasts who manage assets through exchanges and wallets, you've probably wondered: who actually uses these things?

The FBI has issued multiple warnings about scammers directing victims to these machines, where irreversible transactions and minimal identity verification create perfect conditions for theft . Romance scammers, fake government officials, and tech support fraudsters all share a common instruct...

Is Roblox Down? A Slightly Unhinged Investigation Hey!  I'm not saying I've refreshed the login scree n seventeen times in the last four minutes, but I'm also not not saying that. You know what I mean? Like when Sabrina Carpenter drops a surprise single at midnight, and Spotify crashes ? Except this is worse. So much worse. Because Roblox is DOWN, my friends . Or is it? Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm the problem. Maybe I'm the drama. But probably not because I checked Twitter — sorry, I meant X —and everyone's losing their absolute minds!  Someone compared it to the great PlayStation Network outage of 2011 . Someone else said it's like when Ticketmaster crashed during the Eras Tour presale. Both valid references. Both were deeply traumatic. Here's the thing about being an adult who plays Roblox : you don't tell people . It's like admitting you still know all the words to What Makes You Beautiful . We carry these secrets. We b...

Everything You Need to Know About Super Bowl LX Football fans, mark your calendars. Super Bowl LX — that's Super Bowl 60 for those still brushing up on their Roman numerals —kicks off on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The big game airs on NBC and streams on Peacock, bringing America's biggest sporting event back to the Bay Area for the third time. Why Roman Numerals? A Touch of Gridiron Grandeur Ever wonder why we don't just call it Super Bowl 60? The NFL adopted Roman numerals starting with Super Bowl V in 1971 to avoid confusion. Since the championship game is played in the year following the regular season— the 2025 season wraps up with a 2026 game —the league wanted a numbering system that couldn't be mixed up with calendar years. Kansas City Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt championed the idea, believing Roman numerals would add gravitas and a sense of timeless tradition to the NFL's crown jewel. The only ex...

Securities Fraud Charges Hit Multiple Digital Asset Companies Seven companies operating in the digital asset space are facing serious legal trouble. Morocoin Tech Corp., Berge Blockchain Technology Co., Cirkor, AI Wealth Inc., Lane Wealth Inc., AI Investment Education Foundation Ltd., and Zenith Asset Tech Foundation have been charged with violating federal securities laws— specifically, the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 .

When companies are charged wit...
