    Bold and the Beautiful: Liam Sends Hope On a Collision Course Next Week?


    Bold and the Beautiful leaves Hope Logan a mess after learning Liam Spencer doesn’t have long to live on the CBS soap. Hope promised not to tell Liam she knows he is dying. But her behavior became a dead giveaway for Liam. He figured it out almost instantly that she knew about his looming death on the CBS soap.

    But as Hope Logan and Liam Spencer talk about the future, Carter Walton happens to show up at the door just in time to hear that talk. But he has no idea of the context of their conversation. So, this leaves it wide open for a major injustice, which is about to happen to Hope Logan.

    Bold and the Beautiful: Liam Spencer Pushes Hope Logan to Carter Walton

    Bold and the Beautiful has Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) as a desperate guy. He wants to get Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) back. But we will soon see if the aftermath of his eavesdropping outside Hope’s door leads him to a point of no return.

    After hearing Hope tell Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) they should spend their future together, Carter becomes hurt and angry.

    Bold and the Beautiful has Liam pushing Hope Logan toward Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). This is what Carter first heard with his ear to Hope’s door. And it brought a smile to his face hearing Liam advocating for him.

    But it wasn’t until Hope Logan spoke that he became visibly upset in this Bold and Beautiful scene. Instead of Hope agreeing with Liam and professing her love for Carter, Hope talks about her future belonging with Liam.

    B&B: Carter Walton Jumps to Conclusions About Hope

    Carter is unaware of a major piece to this puzzle on Bold and the Beautiful – Liam is dying. So, yeah, Hope feels her place is with Liam for the rest of his future, which is what Carter heard. But he doesn’t know how short that future is.

    And Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) also feels a need to be with him, but she has no intention of trading Finn in for Liam. So, that is probably what Hope meant and what Carter misunderstood… but is it too late by the time things get cleared up?

    Carter goes back to Forrester Creations, hurt and devastated over what he heard Hope say to Liam. And who is there ready to help him through his pain? None other than Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire). But Carter’s sudden change of heart confuses Daphne. Just an hour or two before, Daphne had warned Carter about Hope likely going back to Liam after talking to employees at FC.

    Carter had stormed out on Daphne, but now he is back, and The Bold and the Beautiful previews suggest he is interested in her this time around. It looks like Carter is about to make a huge mistake next week.

    Bold and the Beautiful: One Door Shuts Gently – But the Other Slams Hard

    Bold and the Beautiful has Liam Spencer expecting to spend the rest of his time left with Hope, Steffy, and their daughters. But he is also happy that the two women he loves have good men who love them, and he would never interfere with that.

    So, Liam lets Hope down gently about not being a couple again. But he still wants her in his future, just as he wants Steffy in his life until the end. Before Carter finds out that Liam is dying and realizes the real scoop on what Hope was saying that day he overheard them talking, he likely rebounds with Daphne.

    Bold and the Beautiful seemed to be gearing up to send Hope Logan over to Carter’s house just as Carter and Daphne take the plunge. Liam Spencer urges Hope to go to Carter and tell him she is hurt but she loves him. At the same time, Carter spills his pain to Daphne about Hope just using him after what he heard her say to Liam. He aldo says he almost messed up his life for her with that takeover. So, now he blames Hope for the FC coup.

    Next, this looks like it becomes a Bold and the Beautiful collision with Hope finding Daphne and Carter together. This makes it a door shut very hard in Hope’s face. Unless Carter’s love for Hope holds him back and saves the day, it looks like one painful scene for Hope Logan next week, stumbling on Carter and Daphne on the CBS soap.

    How Crypto Fight Night Became the Industry’s Premier Networking Event – Decrypt


    In brief

    Crypto Fight Night pits traders and industry influencers against each other amid crypto conferences.
    It started as a “social experiment” coming out of the pandemic, but now has its own production team.
    The promotion has spawned a number of viral moments and become a networking hub amid busy crypto events.

    Two light heavyweight titans brawled it out in what, by all accounts, was a violent and enjoyable fight. But the crowd didn’t explode like other fight events I’ve attended when Tiko—who has a sizable following on social media—TKO’d his opponent in the second round with a ferocious overhand right.

    Looking across the attendees in the hall and speaking to Crypto Fight Night’s founder, it’s clear that this is more than just a night of influencer boxing. Instead, it’s a premier networking event held during crypto conferences with the hopes of making the industry feel less antagonistic, or player vs. player—despite the obvious irony.

    To many, Crypto Fight Night is a welcome change from the mixers that dominated the week of Token2049 that have no ice breaker or distraction aside from alcohol. Awkward silences are replaced by devastating knockouts, and tactical chess battles are suddenly an opportunity to pitch your business to the person sitting next to you.

    How it all began

    Crypto Fight Night started as a “hobby” and sort of “social experiment” coming out of the pandemic, said co-founder Rahul Suri, an entrepreneur and investor based in Dubai. After a year of not being able to connect with people in-person, Suri set out to bring together friends he’d met online, all under one roof, to connect with a sports event as the backdrop.

    “The first one was insane. There were so many people [I] met for the first time, people who were just nicknames and avatars, and now they’re a real person with a real name,” he told Decrypt. “The experience of Crypto Fight Night is highly networking-focused. I find it’s a lot more organic to network at a sports event than it is in other formats.”

    For the first two events, Suri tapped established production teams led by two-time world professional boxing champ Amir Khan, then later Frank Warren of the prestigious Queensbury Promotions. While successful, the organization kicked things into third gear for it next event by hiring a team to handle matchmaking, production, logistics, marketing, and the rest.

    Now on its ninth event, the organization has grown through a number of viral moments—none bigger than when crypto influencer titans Bitboy and Ansem faced off in the ring in December 2024.

    Both fighters gave it a valiant effort, but their cardio levels failed them—so much so that Bitboy was forced to take a puff of an inhaler and put on an oxygen mask. He wasn’t disqualified due to the fight being under exhibition rules, ultimately creating an image that has become canonical for any crypto memer.

    A unique challenge in the influencer fighting space is ensuring that fighters are equally matched, despite their lack of experience. As such, Suri said he’s composed a team of four dedicated matchmakers, and claims to sometimes bring in external matchmakers with experience at professional MMA organizations PFL and Bellator.

    Angus Jenkins was the sole matchmaker for the influencer fights at the Hong Kong event in February, with previous experience found in boxing management, journalism, and social media. For that event, he watched previous fights if they’d had any, and reviewed sparring and pad work footage sent by fighters in order to craft match-ups.

    

    “The main [challenge] is convincing very wealthy Web3 influencers and entrepreneurs to take time from their daily grind to get punched in the face on a big stage,” Jenkins told Decrypt. “There’s a lot on the line, as they’re already successful, and stepping on the stage is an opportunity but also a risk.”

    Player vs. player

    Suri believes that boxing naturally translates to a crypto audience, due to the innate player vs. player nature of trading. After months of tirelessly battling over capital in the meme coin trenches, the industry gathers to break bread as influencers bloody each other in the background.

    Before, during, and after the fight, a continuous murmur of conversation can be heard throughout the hall. Most of the time, it appears that attendees aren’t all that fussed with what is happening inside the ring, instead more focused on establishing a connection with the people next to them.

    This networking ethos runs throughout Crypto Fight Week, in the lead-up to the fights. Suri said that the organization hosted an exclusive 100-person event on the pre-fight Monday for fighters, sponsors, and ambassadors to network. The weigh-ins before the fights are also designed in an “open format” to promote networking.

    The Dubai event was a throwback to the organization’s roots, Suri said, as it was hosted in the same venue that CFN’s second and third events were held—Troy Dubai. The venue was formatted as a “VIP show,” segregating attendees with basic tickets from those with more exclusive access.

    “I always felt that these are some of the most electric nights,” Suri told Decrypt.

    While Crypto Fight Night might not be the event for die-hard fight fanatics—it certainly didn’t match up to Fury vs. Usyk—it definitely acted as an alluring social lubricant in the middle of a busy crypto conference week.

    “We somehow stumbled upon a way of making Crypto Fight Night, very simply, cool,” Suri told Decrypt. “Now, as we scale it and grow it, we continuously try not to go away from that one element. And, as long as it stays cool and as long as it stays fun, we’re having a good time.”

    Insider Teases Injustice 3: Netherealms’ Next Move

    Insider Teases Injustice 3: Netherealms’ Next Move


    It seems like Netherealms might be returning to the Injustice universe for a 3rd game, eight years after Injustice 2. Well, that’s what an insider appears to be teasing, at any rate.

    Multiversusie was a notable leaker of all tings Multiverse, Warner Brother’s doomed cross-franchise fighting game. Multiversusie seemed to have a very reliable source for the game, indicating someone inside either the development team or Warner Brothers was slipping information.

    Now, though, Multiversusie seems to be hinting that the developers of the Mortal Kombat series are returning to the Injustice games. In a tweet on X, Multiversusie described as the shuttering of Multiversus as an “injustice” and then went on to use the term twice more.

    “multiversus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injustice leaving me without any leaks is yet again another injustice”

    Then Multiversusie replied to the tweet, simply saying: “3”

    The hint seems to be quite clear: Injustice 3 is happening.

    https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

    It would be an interesting move for Netherealms. Mortal Kombat is by far its biggest series, with Mortal Kombat 11 selling over 15 million copies. However, Netherealms opted to follow that up with another MK game straight away in 2024. Mortal Kombat 1 introduced yet another timeline into the series. Earlier this year, we learned that it has sold over 5 million copies, which is still impressive but seems slower than MK11, indicating some series fatigue. Mortal Kombat 1’s expansion was also reported to have done very poorly. In fact, it was rumoured to have done so badly that it resulted in a future story expansion being canned.

    Fans are also under the impression that support for Mortal Kombat 1 is over due to the release of a complete edition that bundles all of the content together into one package.

    It makes sense why Netherealm and Warner Brothers wants to return to Injustice, then. However, the DC fighting game series has historically not sold anywhere near as well. No official figures were released, but Injustice 2 was estimate to have sold 2-3 million copies. Keep in mind that DC also takes its cut of the sales.

    If there truly is Mortal Kombat fatigue, though, then Netherealm may not have a choice. Making another Mortal Kombat might result in even lower sales, and right now Warner Brothers is already struggling and has even consider selling its gaming division. Netherealm can’t simply do nothing, and they don’t have any other franchises to work on unless they want to resurrect a Mortal Kombat spin-off like Shaolin Monks. That leaves them with either making a brand-new IP or go back to Injustice.

      Emma Stone’s Real Estate Journey: From La La Land to the Heart of Texas

      Emma Stone’s Vibrant La La Land Home

      Emma Stone, the Oscar-winning actress known for her stellar performances and undeniable charm, recently made headlines not just for her work in the film industry but also for her real estate ventures. Her former home in Westwood, LA, affectionately dubbed a “La La Land” abode, sold for a staggering $4.3 million, fetching $305,000 over the asking price. This Spanish-style gem, built in the 1920s, boasted vibrant colors and unique features that made it stand out in the competitive LA real estate market.

      The property, spanning 3,200 square feet, offered ample space and privacy within a gated community. With four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a guest house featuring additional living space, Stone’s former residence was nothing short of spectacular. Its blend of charm, character, and modern amenities made it a coveted piece of real estate in the upscale neighborhood of Westwood.

      Emma Stone’s Lucrative Real Estate Deals

      Stone’s success in Hollywood extends beyond the silver screen to the world of real estate. In addition to her Westwood home, she reportedly turned a significant profit on another property, a midcentury ranch-style house overlooking Malibu’s Las Tunas Beach. Selling for $4.4 million in 2022, a remarkable $1.2 million over its initial asking price, this sale underscored Stone’s keen eye for lucrative investments in the real estate market.

      However, Stone’s most notable real estate move came with her recent upgrade to a sprawling estate in Austin, Texas. Valued at an impressive $7 to $8 million, this four-bedroom mansion represents a departure from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood to the serene beauty of Texas hill country. With 5,000 square feet of living space and lush greenery surrounding the property, Stone’s new home offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of Tinseltown.

      The Appeal of Austin, Texas

      Stone’s decision to relocate to Austin reflects a broader trend among Hollywood celebrities seeking refuge from the fast-paced lifestyle of Los Angeles. Joining the ranks of stars like Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, and Elijah Wood, Stone’s move to Texas signals a desire for a more laid-back and community-oriented way of life. With its vibrant arts scene, thriving culinary scene, and abundant natural beauty, Austin offers the perfect blend of urban sophistication and small-town charm.

      Overcoming Childhood Anxiety: Emma Stone’s Journey

      Beyond her professional achievements and real estate ventures, Emma Stone’s story is one of resilience and triumph over adversity. Growing up, Stone grappled with crippling anxiety that made it difficult for her to leave the house and go to school. Despite these challenges, Stone found solace in acting, using her creative pursuits as a means of coping with her anxiety.

      In a candid interview with NPR, Stone opened up about her struggles with anxiety and how she learned to harness it as a source of strength. Reframing her anxiety as a “superpower,” Stone embraced her unique perspective and channeled it into her creative endeavors. Rather than letting her anxiety control her life, Stone used it as fuel to pursue her passions and achieve her goals.

      Today, Emma Stone stands as a testament to the power of resilience and self-discovery. Her journey from a shy, anxious child to a confident, accomplished actress is an inspiring reminder that adversity can be overcome with courage, determination, and a willingness to embrace one’s true self.

      Emma Stone’s Impact on Hollywood and Beyond

      As one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, Emma Stone continues to captivate audiences with her talent, charm, and authenticity. From her acclaimed performances on the big screen to her savvy investments in real estate, Stone’s influence extends far beyond the confines of Hollywood. With her recent move to Austin, Texas, Stone embarks on a new chapter in her life, embracing the beauty of the Lone Star State while continuing to leave her mark on the world of entertainment.

      In an industry often defined by its glitz and glamour, Stone’s grounded approach to life serves as a refreshing reminder of what truly matters: authenticity, resilience, and the pursuit of one’s passions. As she continues to dazzle audiences with her talent and grace, Emma Stone remains a shining example of what it means to live life on your own terms and embrace the journey wherever it may lead.

      Whether she’s navigating a zombie apocalypse or scheming for power in the royal court, Emma Stone brings her trademark wit and charm to every role she tackles. With a diverse range of comedic performances to her name, Stone has solidified her place as one of the funniest and most talented actresses working today. From beloved classics to acclaimed indie darlings, her filmography is a testament to her comedic genius and enduring appeal.

      Bitcoin ETF Showdown: Hong Kong’s Bold Move vs. Wisconsin’s Cautious Step


      Recent investment decisions by major players in Hong Kong and Wisconsin reveal contrasting strategies regarding BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, reflecting divergent views on crypto’s role in institutional portfolios.

      Hong Kong’s Bold Embrace of BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF

      Hong Kong-based Avenir has significantly escalated its investment in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, amassing 14.7 million shares valued at $688 million by March 31, 2025. This represents a 30% increase in the first quarter alone, as reported by Decrypt.

      Avenir’s strategy is part of a larger initiative, having launched a $500 million Crypto Partnership Program in the fall of 2024, aimed at collaborating with global digital asset-focused quantitative trading teams. This aggressive accumulation reflects a strong conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.

      The firm’s decision aligns with the surging interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen record inflows despite a temporary dip in trading earlier in the spring of 2025. IBIT was trading at $59.20, indicating robust investor interest.

      Avenir’s move is indicative of a broader trend in Asian markets, where Bitcoin ETFs are increasingly viewed as a viable avenue for gaining exposure to Bitcoin BTC without the complexities of direct ownership.

      Wisconsin Offloads BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF

      In contrast, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) has opted to reduce its exposure to BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, unloading over $300 million worth of shares.

      This decision marks a significant downsizing of SWIB’s crypto holdings, which had previously included both BlackRock and Grayscale Bitcoin ETFs worth $163 million as of late 2024. 

      SWIB’s exit from IBIT suggests a reassessment of its portfolio, likely influenced by market volatility and a strategic shift towards more stable asset classes. SWIB’s role in managing pension funds and other trusts for Wisconsin’s citizens underscores a cautious approach to high-risk investments like Bitcoin. 

      This move contrasts sharply with Hong Kong’s aggressive stance, illustrating the diverse risk appetites among institutional investors.

      How NFTs Contribute to the Experience in Virtual Sports and Esports | NFT News Today


      NFTs are unique digital items stored on a blockchain, ensuring their authenticity and ownership, much like a signed jersey in a collector’s case. In virtual sports games and esports, NFTs let players own exclusive in-game items, from customized athletes to virtual stadiums. For beginners, this adds a new dimension to gaming, blending play with the pride of owning something rare. 

      Imagine collecting a rare baseball card, its value tied to its uniqueness and the thrill of ownership. NFTs in virtual sports games and esports can provide a similar excitement, letting players own one-of-a-kind digital assets like player avatars or virtual arenas. These features might appeal to sports fans interested in football, basketball, and hockey betting apps as both landscapes complement the overall gaming and viewership experience.

      How Digital Ownership Changes Everything

      Acquiring an NFT, such as an exclusive player skin in a virtual soccer game, mirrors the prestige of owning a coveted collectible. It serves as a digital emblem of fandom, igniting a thrill akin to showcasing a rare trading card in a curated display. NFTs serve as a gateway to enrich virtual sports experiences, enhancing gameplay or reflecting personal flair. Navigating NFT marketplaces can unveil their allure, yet establishing strict spending boundaries is essential to ensure financial equilibrium.

      Investment Potential in Virtual Assets

      NFTs carry investment possibilities, as their value may shift based on demand, much like sports memorabilia appreciates over time. A virtual basketball avatar might gain worth if its game grows popular, offering beginners a chance to learn basic investment concepts. However, the NFT market is volatile, and studies on its financial viability are inconclusive, with risks of loss. Engaging with low-cost NFTs can mimic trading collectibles, teaching market dynamics without significant financial exposure, though outcomes vary.

      Enhancing Virtual Sports Experiences

      NFTs deepen immersion in virtual sports, letting players customize teams or arenas, akin to designing a dream sports lineup. In esports, owning a unique character can elevate competitive play, adding personal stakes. This mirrors the joy of curating a memorabilia collection, making games more engaging. Some argue NFTs overcomplicate gaming, while others see them as a natural evolution. The debate lacks clear answers, so beginners should explore platforms to form their own views, focusing on enjoyment over speculation.

      Responsible Spending and NFT Basics

      Understanding NFTs is crucial for beginners. They’re bought with digital currencies, often requiring a wallet, similar to setting up an online payment account. Responsible spending—treating NFTs like budgeted hobby expenses—prevents overinvestment. Research on NFT accessibility and risks is evolving, with gaps in user behavior data. Starting with affordable NFTs on trusted platforms can build familiarity, but moderation ensures gaming remains fun, not financially taxing.

      Why NFTs Resonate in Gaming

      NFTs appeal because they blend gaming with ownership, like collecting keepsakes from favorite sports moments. Their digital nature fits virtual sports and esports, where players already embrace tech-driven experiences. The ability to trade or showcase NFTs adds a social layer, akin to swapping cards with friends. For beginners, this makes virtual sports accessible yet exciting, offering a low-stakes entry into digital trends.

      Moderation and Exploration

      NFTs should be approached sparingly, like allocating funds for a hobby. Overinvesting risks financial strain, and the long-term value of NFTs remains uncertain. They’re one part of gaming, alongside traditional play. Exploring virtual sports titles or NFT communities can clarify their role, but staying balanced is essential to preserve enjoyment.

      Getting Started

      To begin, try a virtual sports game with NFT features on a trusted platform. Explore low-cost digital items, like a player skin, and note the ownership experience. Compare it to collecting a favorite item. The reward is a fresh gaming perspective, blending play with the thrill of owning a piece of the digital game.

      How To Make An Infinite Water Source In Minecraft

      How To Make An Infinite Water Source In Minecraft


      There are many reasons why you might need an infinite water source in Minecraft. Maybe you just want the convenience of having water nearby if you’ve built a base far away from the water. Perhaps you’re in a Minecraft server with challenges such as Skyblock, and need to have additional water with limited space. Whatever your need for infinite water, we’ve got you covered, and even have a solution for infinite water using just one water block.

      Minecraft water can be found everywhere, but you might not always have it close by

      How to get infinite water

      The first guaranteed way to get infinite water in Minecraft is to place two source blocks of water in a 2×2 grid at diagonal corners. This way, you only need four blocks total, as the other two diagonals will convert to source blocks. To add the water, simply craft two buckets and collect it from a nearby river, ocean, or lake.

      The next, slightly more complicated way, but that only requires one source block, is to dig a T-shaped hole and put one block elevated higher than ground level at the top of the T, resulting in a cross shape. Then, add a water source to the side of the elevated block so that it flows down and fills the dug-out shape.

      Then, use bonemeal on the T to create seagrass, and collect the water from the source. The water will remain in the dug out area. You can then dig a 2×2 grid and place the water in one corner, then harvest the water from the T-shape. Place that water diagonally opposite to the previous one, and you’ve got the same result using just one bucket of water.

      When you’ve got your infinite water supply, you can also check out our Minecraft guides hub for helpful hints on all the Minecraft mobs, to the most useful Minecraft tools to wield.
