President Donald Trump’s blatant, sometimes open corruption can feel disorienting. While other White Houses have made a point to show their administration is not for sale, this one has seemingly done the opposite — making a big show of their transactional relationship with corporations, Silicon Valley, and other governments, given the right price.This kind of pay-to-play politics was the focus of a recent forum in Washington, DC, hosted by the American Economic Liberties Project, a think tank focused on corporate consolidation, breaking up monopolies, and accountability for rogue businesses. It’s also the focus of Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), who has…

by Ahsan Washington April 4, 2026 Across the United States, cities, civil rights groups, and various organizations are honoring and remembering Dr. King. Fifty-eight years have passed since Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, at the Lorraine Hotel, which is now the National Civil Rights Museum. King’s purpose in Memphis that tragic day was to support sanitation workers who were on strike and rallying for better wages and work conditions.  Across the United States, cities, civil rights groups, and various organizations are honoring and remembering Dr. King through programming that educates…

Most decisions in business are first-order decisions. They answer the question in front of them. Second-order decisions answer the question behind the question. When a company searches externally for a CFO, it is making a first-order decision: we need someone with these credentials. When a company promotes from within, it is making a second-order decision: we need someone whose judgment is already priced into the outcomes we are living with today. These decisions are not the same, even though the market treats them as though they are. This is how institutional knowledge gets mispriced. Consider the math. A senior executive…

Federal regulators have taken Arizona, Illinois, and Connecticut to court, opening a new front in the fight over so-called event contracts and who gets to regulate them. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, joined by the United States, filed lawsuits in federal district courts seeking to stop those states from enforcing laws that would block these products. Federal officials argue event contracts fall under their authority when they trade on registered exchanges. State regulators see something else entirely, calling them unlicensed gambling.  The cases seen by ReadWrite stem in part from recent enforcement moves. In Illinois, regulators sent cease-and-desist letters to…

Ethereum’s last two major upgrades were focused squarely on Layer 2s. Glamsterdam, targeted to ship in H1 2026, is about improving Layer 1 — not just in terms of speed and efficiency but also the entire block production process.

Ethereum’s latest upgrade, Glamsterdam, is targeted to go live in H1 2026, the third hard fork in a year. The two previous upgrades — Pectra…

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved…

Outbound sales is a numbers game, but inefficiency slows teams down fast. Manual dialing wastes agent time, increases idle time between calls, and makes it harder to maintain consistent outreach. Power dialers solve that by automatically placing the next call as soon as an agent is ready.
