Homelessness in the US has grown to the highest level since the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) started tracking the figure back in 2007
With a record 653,104 people experiencing homelessness at the latest annual count. The number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness — those living on sidewalks or in abandoned buildings, bus stations, etc. — was up around 47k from last year, while the figure for people staying in emergency shelters, transitional housing programs, or safe havens grew 23k in the same period.

The “HODL” meme started a decade ago today when a user misspelled the word “holding”
On that day, bitcoin $BTC opened at $678 and "closed" at $522 (i.e last price of the day), so quite a volatile session. If the hodler kept his/her coins, the current unrealized gain is 7,783%. In other words, a $10,000 position at that date is worth today a whopping $788,352. Source: Documenting Bitcoin
