#TariffsPause Trump says that if the U.S. continues to have high tariffs within a year, it would be a 'total victory'
President Donald Trump said that if the United States still maintains high tariffs on foreign imports within a year, he would consider it a "total victory."
During the interview, which was conducted by senior political correspondent Eric Cortellessa and editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs, Time asked the president if he would consider it a victory that "high tariffs, whether 20%, 30%, or 50%" remained in effect for a year.
"Total victory," Trump replied, adding: "Because the country would be making a fortune."
Trump said that having zero tariffs "would be easy," but that it would not incentivize companies to produce their goods in the United States.
"Bitcoin Reaches $94,000: The Bet of Major Investors"
Last Tuesday, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States recorded net capital inflows totaling $912.7 million, marking one of the strongest days since their launch in January 2024.
Among the ETFs with the largest inflows were:
ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB): $267.1 million
Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC): $253.8 million
iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT): $193.5 million
These figures reflect a renewed institutional interest in Bitcoin, driven by its recent price surge, which reached $94,000 the following Wednesday.
Since their approval in January 2024, Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated over $36.7 billion in net inflows, establishing themselves as key vehicles for institutional exposure to the cryptocurrency market.
This increase in investments coincides with a favorable macroeconomic environment and greater institutional adoption, suggesting growing confidence in Bitcoin as an investment asset.
“Alert! The vulnerability that Peter Todd predicted 10 years ago shakes XRPL”
In April 2025, the cybersecurity firm Aikido Security discovered a critical vulnerability in a development library of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), allowing possible unauthorized access to private keys. This risk was surprisingly anticipated back in 2015 by Peter Todd, a prominent Bitcoin developer, who warned about the high likelihood of such attacks and pointed out that they could be carried out at no economic cost.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about centralization in networks like XRPL, where key decisions depend on specific entities. Todd has been critical of these structures, arguing that they favor centralized authorities and can compromise the security of the ecosystem.
The revelation underscores the importance of addressing structural vulnerabilities in blockchain networks and rethinking governance models that prioritize decentralization and long-term security. #alerta #XRPL
$ETH (Ethereum) is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Its native currency, Ether (ETH), is used to pay for transactions and services within the network. Unlike Bitcoin, which focuses on being a store of value, Ethereum is like the "operating system" of the crypto world, and serves as the foundation for many DeFi, NFT, and DAO projects. Since its transition to Ethereum 2.0, it now operates on proof of stake, which improves its energy efficiency and allows staking to generate passive returns.

At first, I was scared, putting in little and learning along the way. But over time, I began to understand how to navigate, what worked for me and what didn't. Today I have a mix of stocks, crypto, and some funds that have yielded good results. It's not about getting rich overnight, but about moving forward step by step. I like to share what I learn so that more people feel encouraged.
#EthereumFuture ¿Where is the network headed after Dencun and Proto-Danksharding?
After the successful activation of the Dencun upgrade in March 2024, which introduced proto-danksharding to reduce fees on Layer 2, the community is divided between those who see Ethereum as the foundation of the new internet and those who question its scalability compared to other chains.
Pro: Ethereum continues to lead in security, decentralization, and developer adoption.
Con: New chains like Solana and Sui are gaining ground in speed and cost.
The Ethereum roadmap includes full danksharding and improvements in privacy, but faces criticism for its slowness.
Vitalik Buterin emphasizes the importance of maintaining decentralization as a priority.
"The future of Ethereum depends on us maintaining our technological leadership without sacrificing decentralization." — Vitalik Buterin
