The media is making a big deal over the fact that Donald Trump's Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) account was the platform's sixth most-followed account with around 88 million followers.
That's a hefty portion of Twitter's daily active users.
And many expect Twitter stock to take a revenue hit from dropping one of its most-followed accounts.
However, there's something missing from that narrative...

For most, it's hard to believe Bitcoin dropped $10,000 in 24 hours from Sunday into Monday.
But that's how this works.
Bitcoin's volatility is a feature, not a bug.
It's designed to transfer money from weak hands to strong ones.
The $10,000 drop makes for great headlines, but there is absolutely nothing abnormal about this 24% Bitcoin crash.
The reality is, this is a mild correction by Bitcoin standards and actually sets the world's first global decentralized cryptocurrency up for a more sustainable rise.

So… it's been a heck of a week, right? And I'm not necessarily talking about what happened in D.C.
Bitcoin just went through what might be its most dramatic week in years, maybe the most dramatic ever.
Now, Bitcoin is famous for volatility and drama, but the past couple of days have seen volatility on a whole other level.
In less than seven days, we've seen the digital currency move from the low $30,000s to come within striking distance of $42,000… and back down to the low $30,000 before stabilizing in the $34,000 range. Talk about a roller coaster.
That leaves us with two big questions…
Knowing the answers to those questions is the key to cashing in right now, and as I'll show you in a second, it's all here in these charts. Let's jump in… Full Story

Bitcoin had a banner year in 2020 and is already making new highs in 2021.
The world of cryptocurrencies is becoming more mainstream every day.
So we decided to reach out to six people who are helping drive the crypto revolution to get their insights on what we can expect this year.
If you want to be prepared for 2021, you need to read this...
"The FAANGs" have been a convenient shorthand for the mega-cap Nasdaq tech firms that have led the markets higher since the middle of the last decade. In 2020, at a time when markets desperately needed a leader, they were there.
But from a technical perspective, the FAANGs are starting to show a little long-term fatigue in the charts.
And then there's the elephant in the room: Everyone points to the FAANGs as a reason to be in the market – and they are great stocks – but if you wanted to buy 100 shares of each of these stocks, you'd have to fork over nearly $687,000 (the price of a nice house in many parts of the country).
Fortunately, the next group of market leaders is out there right now, going more or less under everyone's radar.
I'm not sure how much longer they'll stay there, though – performance like this tends to get noticed. Tech stocks grew by around 45% in 2020, but the ones we'll talk about in a second shot up 147%.
I think we're just getting started here… Full Story

2020 was a lot of things.
It was the year of the pandemic.
It bought us one of the more hotly contested elections in some time.
And it was the year of a massive stock market crash, with the major indexes dropping by 35% or more.
But 2020 was also the year of the quickest market recovery in history – with prices rushing back to new all-time highs in a matter of months.
2020 was a fantastic year to invest and trade in low priced penny stocks.
New traders flocked to the market during the early stages of the lockdown.
And many of them have stayed even after the world began to reopen.
Intelligent speculation in penny stocks has made a lot of money for a lot of people in the past year.
With the vaccine finally arriving, we could see a full reopening of the economy that drives the markets higher.
This would create even more massive opportunities for low priced stock investors.
Here are the three best penny stocks to buy with 300% upside...
