Bitcoin, fresh from one of the wildest years in its short history, has suddenly surged higher again, breaking through the psychological $30,000 per bitcoin level and taking bitcoin's total value past $600 billion. The bitcoin price is up almost 10% in the first two days of 2021 alone, putting it in poll position to become one of the year's best performing assets and helping it eclipse the market capitalization of payments giant Visa. Now, as the bitcoin and cryptocurrency community cheers the latest price surge, investors are already asking how far the rally will run—and if bitcoin will soon overtake Tesla TSLA , Facebook, Microsoft MSFT , Google GOOG and Apple AAPL , the six U.S. companies that are worth more than $600 billion.

A Republican fund-raiser has made an ill-timed plea for help in fighting social-media censorship, tweeting in distress just minutes after the GOP-led Senate voted to override President Donald Trump's bid to hit back at Big Tech. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) claimed on Friday that Facebook shut down the advertising account of the Georgia Battleground Fund, a fund-raising umbrella for the NSRC and the campaigns of Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. The move came just four days before a runoff election that would flip control of the Senate to Democrats if Loeffler and Perdue both lose to their rivals.The NRSC urged supporters to go to Georgia Battleground's website to help fight back, tweeting: “Big Tech is at it again.”Conservatives on Twitter balked at the request, mocking the group for expecting continued support from politicians who took no action when there was a chance to repeal Section 230 that protects social media giants from being held legally responsible for the content on their platforms."You literally just overrode the veto on 230, and you're going to tweet this?" journalist Jack Posobiec asked. Another commenter tweeted: "Help! I'm choking myself. Save me. Send money now."Help! I’m choking myself. Save me.…

It just happened to me.Recently, a friend asked me on Facebook if I had sent them a friend request. Why would I do that to someone who is already a friend? The answer is simple. I didn’t. I was hacked.I immediately did several things. First, I changed my password. Then I posted the following statement on my Facebook page.“If you have received a ‘friend’ request from me DO NOT click on it. I have been hacked but have taken care of it by doing several things. One is immediately changing my password.”I then posted a screenshot of my account where someone in Reston, Virginia, using a Mac (like I do) but on the Safari browser (I use Chrome) on Dece. 24 at 4:06 p.m. had logged onto my account.Everyone needs to periodically check their Facebook account to see if someone else has had access.To do that, go to theupside-down triangle at the upper right near your name.
