Social media has become much more than just simple exchange platforms. Today, they are the battleground of an ideological clash between freedom of expression, content moderation, and user engagement. Every modification to the rules governing these digital spaces sparks passionate debates, and X (formerly Twitter) is no exception. Recently, Elon Musk announced a revamp of X's algorithm, which aims to prioritize educational and informative content at the expense of those deemed too negative. According to him, this update addresses a central issue: some posts encourage excessive consumption of the social network without truly enriching users' experiences. However, this decision has quickly provoked criticism. Many users denounce a risk of control over information and question the criteria that will define "negativity." Some see it as a form of masked censorship, while others view this change as an attempt to influence how debates are organized on the platform.
Bitcoin reached a historic milestone in 2024. In just one year, $19 trillion flowed through its network, an absolute record that marks the end of two years of declining transaction volumes. This spectacular recovery reflects the return of investor confidence, driven by several major events. The approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States facilitated the entry of institutional capital, while the April 2024 halving reinforced the scarcity of BTC, which fuels demand.

The crypto market is in perpetual turmoil, and Dogecoin is one of its protagonists today. Within a week, its price surged by 21%, surpassing competitors like Shiba Inu, Pepe, and Bonk. This performance is no coincidence. Institutional investors and wealthy individuals have massively positioned themselves on the asset, as evidenced by the purchase of 1.08 billion DOGE for an estimated value of 413 million dollars. A notable transaction of 399.9 million DOGE, equivalent to around 144.9 million dollars, was also transferred from Binance to an unknown wallet, a movement often perceived as a bullish signal indicating a reduction in selling pressure. For some observers, the asset could finally cross the symbolic barrier of 1 dollar by the end of the year, thus propelling its market capitalization to 100 billion dollars. However, does this momentum rest on solid fundamentals, or is it merely a speculative frenzy? Amid strategic accumulations, optimistic analyses, and favorable political contexts, Dogecoin may well be on the brink of a new bullish cycle.
