You have an idea. You build it. But will anyone buy it? In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, Salvador Briggman speaks with Max Engle, founder of Groundhog Audio, about how he raised more than $192,000 on Kickstarter for OnePedal—a smart guitar pedal that matches your tone to any song with one click. This episode is about more than music. It’s about validating your crowdfunding idea before investing too much time and money. Max tested demand with rough prototypes, conversations with more than 100 guitarists, and new marketing techniques.  That early feedback helped shape the final product. Kickstarter then became a…

Two brothers accused of kidnapping a Minnesota family at gunpoint last year to steal $8 million in cryptocurrency pleaded guilty in connection with the armed robbery. Isiah Angelo Garcia and Raymond Christian Garcia, on Thursday, entered guilty pleas for Interference with Commerce by Robbery, facing a maximum of 20 years in federal prison, according to the US Attorney’s Office of the District of Minnesota. “The guilty pleas entered today reflect our commitment to holding the defendants accountable for the choices they made,” US Attorney Daniel Rosen said.  Global crypto wrench attacks have skyrocketed in recent years.

The I-Sessions Indicator MT4 is a visual session-based tool designed for the MetaTrader 4 platform. It marks different trading sessions—typically Asian, London, and New York—using colored boxes or background shading on the chart. Unlike momentum indicators such as RSI or MACD, this tool doesn’t generate buy or sell signals. Instead, it provides context. It shows when the market is most active, helping traders align their strategies with high-probability trading hours. For example, a trader watching EUR/USD will often notice that strong trends begin during the London session. The indicator highlights this time window, making it easier to focus on high-volume…

Prediction markets are no longer sitting at the edge of the financial conversation. Kalshi has reportedly held early discussions with investment banks about a future initial public offering, according to a report on the company’s fundraising and revenue trajectory. The talks are described as informal, and the same reporting suggests any listing would still be at least a year away. Even so, the numbers around the platform show why Wall Street is paying attention. TL;DR Kalshi has reportedly held early IPO discussions, but no listing has been formally announced. The company’s annualized revenue run rate is said to have moved…

Last Friday, citing unspecified national security concerns, the White House ordered Anthropic to restrict the export of its powerful AI models Fable and Mythos to anyone outside of the United States, as well as foreign nationals inside the country. Shortly after, the AI giant hastily pulled the plug on both models, which have now been unavailable to anyone for a week.  The episode is the first real test of whether the U.S. government can use export controls to contain frontier AI the way it has tried, with very uneven results, to contain encryption and spyware before it. And dramatic as…

Bitcoin has traded below the estimated cost to mine it for five straight months, according to JPMorgan analysts, leaving roughly one in five miners unprofitable and pushing publicly listed operators to sell a record volume of coins. In a client note circulated this week, analysts led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said bitcoin mining economics have “worsened” in 2026. JPMorgan places the current all-in production cost of bitcoin at about $78,000, a figure derived from electricity, hardware depreciation, and overhead expenses across public miners.  With bitcoin trading near $63,000, the gap between spot price and breakeven has created a sustained…
