Secret Menus And Special Creations Build U.S. Open Food Buzz

Secret Menus And Special Creations Build U.S. Open Food Buzz

The post Secret Menus And Special Creations Build U.S. Open Food Buzz appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Gangnam Style Crispy Chicken Sandwich from COQODAQ’s CQDQ at the 2025 U.S. Open. Kelsey Cherry The orange boxes of Coqodaq’s famed chicken nuggets fill the grounds at the U.S. Open. What’s less known is there’s also a black-bagged secret menu Black Truffle Sandwich available to the masses in the CQDQ food court location. Pasta Raman has a secret Japanese sando at its new site, just a few stalls down. And the limited-edition offerings from Michelin-starred and acclaimed chefs and eateries abound at the U.S. Open give fans a fresh food wrinkle on site. “I’ve heard it said this is a food festival we just happen to play tennis at,” Robbie Felice, owner of Pasta Raman, tells me. “This is the biggest pop up I’ve ever done. It’s really awesome. It’s incredible and a lot to take in. I’m excited about all of it.” Creating energy around food for what has turned into a three-week event is all part of the plan. “With the pop ups and social piece, people are going crazy,” Ron Krivosik, Levy vice president and chef and one of the leaders of the food experience at the U.S. Open, tells me. “People know they can come here and get great food. They look for what’s interesting and fun and CQDQ and Robbie, the way they are offering a secret menu, people on social search for it and that creates energy.” The Taco Cochinita at the U.S. Open from Oyamel by Jose Andres Group. Oyamel x Dobel Tequila Paul Schwartz, Levy vice president, tells me the off-menu items help give restaurants a new way to interact with fans on social media while giving those on site the opportunity to “experience something special.” Secret or not, a bevy of U.S. Open-specific menu items help create allure.

An Excerpt From Bitcoin Circular Economies: The Beginning

An Excerpt From Bitcoin Circular Economies: The Beginning

The post An Excerpt From Bitcoin Circular Economies: The Beginning appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. When people picture a tropical beach with volcanic sands, warm waters and dreamy surfing waves, they are describing El Zonte, in El Salvador. It’s hard to think that this natural paradise was once the battleground of Latin America’s most savage and violent gangs for decades. According to a UNICEF report, the homicide rate in 2015 was 103 per 100,000 inhabitants. The result was thousands of children orphaned and vulnerable to be recruited by the drug cartels, where the only option for a better life seemed to be to migrate to the United States. Chimbera was born in the community of El Zonte, where opportunities were divided by a road which separated the beach from the mountains. “In the past if you were born on the beach, you were a fisherman, like my father and grandfather. If you were born in the mountains, you were a farmer; while women were mainly housewives. The only hope for a better future for young people was to emigrate to the United States or Canada. We learned with sadness that the opportunities were there, the land of freedom where dreams supposedly came true. Paradoxically, these words come from a smiling face. It is very easy to fall in love with Román Martínez’s smile; known as “Chimbera” to his closest friends and family. His contagious joy comes from someone who knows in depth the darkest sides a society can fall into. His smile tells a story of collective overcoming, where a group of people believed that a better future was possible and, without expectations but with tireless determination, transformed a fishing village in one of the poorest and most violent countries in the world into a hub of technological innovation and human development. Something unusual in modern history. Chimbera looks to the sky before continuing to…

Oil Slumps By Over 2% On U.S. Trade Threats, Demand Concerns

Oil Slumps By Over 2% On U.S. Trade Threats, Demand Concerns

The post Oil Slumps By Over 2% On U.S. Trade Threats, Demand Concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A pipeline carries crude oil at Big Hill near Beaumont, Texas, U.S. (Photo: Joe Raedle/Newsmakers) Getty Images Global oil prices retreated sharply from two-week highs on Tuesday, following demand concerns and talk of further U.S. trade tariffs by President Donald Trump. Global proxy benchmark – Brent – saw its front-month futures contract close in London at $66.87 per barrel, down 2.11% or $1.46. Stateside, at 13:39pm EDT on Tuesday, the U.S. West Texas Intermediate front-month contract traded 2.27% or $1.47 lower at $63.33 per barrel. The intraday drop in prices came after crude futures posted gains in the region of 3% following an impasse in talks on ending the Ukraine war between the U.S. and Russia and lower inventory data. Market chatter on the U.S. Federal Reserve easing its monetary policy stance in favor of a September rate cut was also seen as being supportive of demand. However, the price uptick was abruptly halted and subsequently reversed on Tuesday after Trump said Russia would face “very heavy” sanctions if it did not make efforts to end the war and opened a direct negotiating channel with Ukraine. Reports are also emerging that Ukraine may have knocked out a fifth of Russia’s refining capacity via drone attacks, severely curtailing Moscow’s ability to service its war economy. According to Euronews, Ukraine’s recent strikes on ten Russian oil refineries have reportedly disrupted at least 17% of the country’s total refining capacity. That is an equivalent of 1.1 million barrels per day.

Analyst Reveals Bitcoin and Ethereum Expectations, Warns: “These Levels Could Be Tested Again by the End of September!”

Analyst Reveals Bitcoin and Ethereum Expectations, Warns: “These Levels Could Be Tested Again by the End of September!”

The post Analyst Reveals Bitcoin and Ethereum Expectations, Warns: “These Levels Could Be Tested Again by the End of September!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Despite the mild statements from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Bitcoin and altcoins experienced a sharp correction. Bitcoin has fallen to around $110,000, dragging down the overall cryptocurrency market as forced liquidations, along with increased short-term volatility ahead of key U.S. economic data this week, have also weighed on the cryptocurrency market. At this point, Bitcoin fell to a seven-week low due to strong downward market pressure from the liquidation of large leveraged positions, while Ethereum fell to $4,300. Speaking to The Block, Deribit head of research Sean Dawson said it had been a bloody start to the new week. At this point, the analyst argued that BTC is likely to retest $100,000 by the end of September, while ETH is likely to retest $4,000. According to Dawson, the recent correction has caused an increase in volatility, with BTC’s daily implied volatility rising from 15% to 38% and ETH’s from 41% to 70%. Dawson attributed the sudden surge in volatility to investors rushing to hedge ahead of the release of second-quarter US GDP and employment data. Dawson also noted that the volatility in options markets reflects investors’ cautious approach. Based on the data, the analyst noted that the 25-delta slope in the options market has turned negative for both assets, indicating increased demand for put options. This reflects a short-term bearish trend. At this point, Dawson predicted that BTC is likely to retest $100,000 by the end of September, while ETH is likely to retest $4,000. “The data shows us that options traders prefer put options over call options. This is the strongest downside protection demand we’ve seen in the last two weeks, with investors appearing to be preparing for a potential retest of the $4,000 levels for ETH and $100,000 for BTC by the end of September. *This is not…

RJ Barrett Trade Could Help Streamline The Raptors

RJ Barrett Trade Could Help Streamline The Raptors

The post RJ Barrett Trade Could Help Streamline The Raptors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TORONTO, CANADA – APRIL 3 : RJ Barrett (9) of Toronto Raptors in action during the NBA basketball game between Portland Trail Blazers and Toronto Raptors at the Scotiabank Arena on April 3, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Mert Alper Dervis/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu via Getty Images The Toronto Raptors have a roster that is both intriguing, and gushing of implosion vibes, all at the same time. During the trade deadline, the organization traded for Brandon Ingram, and have since handed him an extension worth $40 million per year, despite the presence of both Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett, offering up the obvious question: How are they all going to play at the same time? More than likely, they’re not. They might start together, and play spot minutes together all three, but mostly they’d have to get their minutes staggered. It’s also not out of the realm of possibility that the Raptors decide to pivot off one of their wings, in order to gain more roster symmetry. As Barnes is viewed as a foundational piece for the Raptors, and Ingram has yet to play a single game for the franchise, odds are good Barrett will be the one to get shopped down the line. What do the Raptors need? Assuming Barrett is shopped, the Raptors are going to need a few things, starting with more shooting. As Barnes is not yet a natural long-range shooter, and Ingram a reluctant one, it stands to reason the Raptors should look at players who can help space the floor, both off the dribble, and off the catch. Chicago’s Coby White, and Boston’s Derrick White, would be interesting candidates, although a deal with Chicago would be easier to facilitate given the salary attached to Coby ($12.8 million), than that of Derrick’s…

Not for R&D, not for acquisitions, not even for shareholder dividends—this money is earmarked primarily for one thing: Bitcoin.
