A hosted phone system is a business phone setup managed entirely off-site by a cloud provider. You connect via the internet — no on-premises servers, no hardware to maintain, no dedicated IT staff for phone infrastructure. With a provider like Nextiva, teams can connect through desk phones, softphones, browser-based calling, or mobile apps, while the platform handles maintenance, updates, uptime, security, and call routing. It’s a strong option for businesses that want modern phone features without the expense and upkeep of a traditional PBX. Let’s take a closer look at the features, pricing, and selection criteria that matter most. What…

Crowdfunding is filled with potential.  You can even go from $30k to $300k! And, that’s exactly what today’s guest did.  In this episode of the Crowdfunding Demystified podcast, Salvador Briggman speaks with Conrad Sayer, founder of Adventure Mate, about how he raised $374,980 from over 1,600 backers for Adventuremate V3 — a rugged 6-in-1 camping multi-tool. But this episode isn’t just about outdoor gear. It’s about improving your Kickstarter strategy over time. Conrad first launched an earlier version of the product years ago and raised only around $30,000. This latest campaign raised nearly 10X more. He shares how stronger execution,…

The Home Mining Boom Has a Catch A new generation of quiet, low-power SHA-256 miners has put solo mining back on the desk. A Bitaxe draws less power than a phone charger. A Canaan Avalon Nano is the size of a router and runs near library-quiet. You plug it in, point it at a pool, and you are mining the same algorithm as a warehouse full of Antminers. The catch is scale. Your home miner does 1 to 15 TH/s. The Bitcoin network does close to 1 ZH/s — that is a billion TH/s. Solo mining is a lottery, and…

The yen is trading near its weakest level in four decades, and Japanese companies are moving crypto onto their balance sheets to escape it. SBI VC Trade on Tuesday said corporate demand for bitcoin and XRP is climbing as the currency’s slide pushes firms to diversify reserves beyond cash, with the exchange’s registered accounts passing 2 million, roughly double its 2025 count.Hedge funds have turned the most bearish on the yen since 2007, boosting bets on further losses to nearly 138,000 contracts as of June 30, per CFTC data. The dollar buys around 162 yen as of Asian morning hours…

This interview has been edited for length and clarity. David Royce has a theory about success. It’s not about the industry you pick, the degree you have, or whether the opportunity looks good on paper. It’s about whether you’re willing to do the thing nobody else wants to do, for long enough to become the best at it. The founder and chairman of Aptive, the third-largest residential pest control service in North America, spent four college summers selling door-to-door before he ever considered starting a business. What followed was three eight and nine-figure exits to the same strategic buyer, and…

The 18-month reign of WiseTech Global’s Richard White, as chair of the ASX-listed tech company, is over, with its billionaire founder describing ongoing media coverage of his personal life as an “unnecessary distraction”. Independent director Raelene Murphy, who only joined the WiseTech board in January, will replace him as chair. White remains a director and continues in his executive role as chief innovation officer. The change comes after WiseTech (ASX: WTC) share price plunged more than 75% in the past 12 months to a five-year low under $30, amid a string of reports of investigations into the founder and former…

Polymarket, the crypto-native prediction market, has begun supporting instant Bitcoin deposits over the Lightning Network. The feature uses infrastructure from Spark, a Bitcoin protocol built for payments and stablecoins.  In a post on X, Spark told users they can deposit BTC to the platform with more speed and more privacy than the older method offered. The move extends a funding push that started in October 2025, when Polymarket switched on standard on-chain Bitcoin deposits. Those deposits carried a wait: most on-chain Bitcoin transactions need three to six confirmations, a window of 10 to 60 minutes, before a platform credits an…
