The Fifth Trumpet: A Child Shall Lead Them to Ruin
The Fifth Trumpet Evermore, a small quiet village, was covered in thick snow that formed a soft white layer on top of the roofs. Children played outside the church doors, their happy laughter like wind chimes in the cold breeze. Among them stood one boy, though, quietly watching.

Shelters: The Amazing Secrets Behind Them
In a world where geopolitical tensions are on the rise, the question of how nations protect their civilians during war or attack has become more relevant than ever. Some countries rely on emergency alerts, others build evacuation systems—but few nations have gone to the extent of building vast, complex underground shelter networks like Israel and Germany. These countries have taken civil defense to a new level, crafting hidden fortresses beneath their cities. Recent leaked information reveals just how advanced and, in some cases, shocking these systems really are.

Bitcoin vs Open Interest Should traders be worried by THIS divergence
The price action of Bitcoin has recently been scrutinized, but savvy traders are also paying attention to something even more telling: a significant divergence between open interest in Bitcoin and its price. The derivatives market may be sending a cautious signal while the spot market maintains its optimism. Analysts are concerned about this divergence, which raises the question of whether traders should be concerned. Understanding what open interest actually entails is essential before delving into its ramifications. The total number of unresolved derivative contracts in the futures and options markets is referred to as open interest. It shows how much activity and participation there is in the market. An increase in open interest typically suggests that new money is flowing into the market, which can reinforce a trend. A decline could indicate that traders are closing positions, which could indicate indecisiveness or exhaustion of the trend. The price of Bitcoin has been either steady or showing signs of rising, hovering in bullish territory above key support levels in recent weeks. However, open interest in Bitcoin futures has not followed suit. In fact, in several instances, open interest has dropped or stagnated while prices climbed—a classic divergence.

Altcoin season could be near: Why June can see a 2021-style rally
**Altcoin Season Could Be Near: Why June Can See a 2021-Style Rally** Numerous analysts and investors are beginning to speculate that an altcoin season may be just around the corner as the cryptocurrency market continues to show signs of recovery. The month of June, historically a favorable period for crypto rallies, is shaping up to potentially mirror the explosive growth seen in 2021. The stage may be set for altcoins to take the lead as Bitcoin's strength and dominance plateau. ### What Is the Season for Altcoins? Altcoin season, or "alt season," refers to a period when alternative cryptocurrencies—those other than Bitcoin—outperform the leading digital asset. During this phase, investors rotate capital from Bitcoin into smaller market cap assets in pursuit of higher gains. This is a time when tokens like Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and a number of smaller-cap projects saw huge returns in a short amount of time. Typically, altcoin seasons follow a strong Bitcoin rally as market participants look for the “next big thing.”

The Great Depression:
Introduction The Great Depression was a significant and harrowing chapter in American history, reshaping the economy, society, and government. It serves as a stark reminder of how interconnected our financial systems are and how the decisions we make today can echo through time. Alarmingly, many of the factors that contributed to the Great Depression are resurfacing in our current climate. This essay will highlight the causes of the Great Depression and draw parallels to contemporary issues, including government deregulation, corruption, the glorification of wealth, and the rise of exclusionary purity movements. With only 4 years away from the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Depression, it behoves us to take a serious sociopolitical look at the parallels of today that have us headed unavoidably to our next one.

The Quiet Return to Faith
For decades, the dominant narrative in Western culture has been that religion is fading. From emptying pews to the rise of secularism in media, education, and politics, many believed faith was becoming obsolete. But in 2025, a quieter and far more surprising story is unfolding.
