Bitcoin Solaris Enters Final Phase of Presale Ahead of Mobile Mining App Launch
TALLINN, Estonia, July 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When you hear 'Bitcoin 2.0,' your first instinct might be to roll your eyes and think, 'Here we go again.' But once you dig past the noise, Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S) emerges with something most imitators lack: a powerful technical backbone, a wealth-building strategy for the everyday user, and a clear roadmap to actual utility. As altcoin chatter and speculative memecoins begin to fade, the spotlight is shifting toward something with more meat on the bone. That something is Bitcoin Solaris. The Next Generation of Wealth Creation What's fueling the hype around Bitcoin Solaris is more than a name. This project is designed from the ground up to empower individuals to build real financial momentum. Instead of betting on token prices alone, BTC-S is offering an ecosystem where users can earn, transact, and contribute meaningfully. Its mobile-first mining solution is already getting crypto circles buzzing. Through the exciting release of the upcoming Solaris Nova app, users will be able to mine BTC-S directly from their smartphones, bringing decentralized rewards into the palms of over 6 billion mobile users worldwide. Whether you're in a coffee shop or on a bus, your device could be earning for you. But mining is only part of the equation. Bitcoin Solaris doesn't just reward presence, it rewards performance. The rewards distribution system accounts for: This isn't just mining, it's intelligent participation. The kind that turns casual users into long-term holders. The Tech That Powers the Surge Let's talk power. Bitcoin Solaris runs on a unique hybrid consensus model that combines Proof-of-Work (PoW) with Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS), operating across a dual-layer architecture. It's a bit like driving a racecar and piloting a drone at the same time. In short, this thing flies. And it does so without sacrificing decentralization or security. It even implements zero-knowledge proofs for added privacy, and a multi-layered defense against both 51% and long-range attacks. It's no surprise then that many crypto veterans are calling it one of the most technically complete projects of the year. Audited and Backed by the Community Bitcoin Solaris has passed two comprehensive smart contract audits. The first by Cyberscope and the second by Freshcoins, both of which confirmed the strength and integrity of BTC-S's core codebase. Community conversations on Telegram and X continue to grow daily. With over 13,650 unique users already onboarded and more pouring in, this is no quiet presale. Crypto Show recently released a detailed review covering why so many enthusiasts are paying attention. From mobile mining to on-chain scalability, the breakdown highlights just how massive the upside potential really is. Presale Momentum Builds Toward a $20 Launch We're now entering the final sprint. Bitcoin Solaris is in the last few hours of Phase 10 of its limited 90-day presale. Here's what you need to know: This is shaping up to be one of the fastest-growing and most explosive presales of 2025. With only around 4 weeks left, the clock is ticking. Investors are eyeing a 150% return right at launch, with many seeing this as a chance to ride the next big Bitcoin-like wave. This Is the Mobile-First Wealth Engine Crypto Promised You To receive your tokens on launch day, Bitcoin Solaris recommends using Trust Wallet or Metamask for seamless token delivery. Real-World Utility Across Every Sector BTC-S isn't just fast, it's functional. The ecosystem supports a wide range of smart contract applications written in Rust and built initially using Solana's programming tools. These include: And that's only scratching the surface. The infrastructure is built to scale across industries, use cases, and devices without bottlenecks. If you're curious about mining potential, check the estimated earnings through the Bitcoin Solaris mining calculator. Final Verdict Bitcoin Solaris is designed to deliver a scalable, accessible, and rewarding blockchain experience for real users. With strong technical foundations and a focus on usability, it offers a comprehensive solution for long-term participation and growth. As the presale enters its final phases, early supporters have a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing ecosystem before launch. The momentum is building—and this could be a defining moment for those seeking meaningful involvement in the next wave of blockchain innovation.

If You Invested $500 in Baseball Cards 30 Years Ago, Would It Outperform the S&P 500?
Collecting baseball cards is more of a hobby than a business for most Americans. But in some cases, investing in baseball cards can actually provide a handsome return, even outpacing the S&P 500. The trick, of course, is buying the right cards at the right time. Read More: Consider This: Most baseball cards are essentially worthless, providing little-to-no return and holding value only for those who collect them for the sake of enjoyment. Of course, a properly chosen investment of $500 made 30 years ago could have resulted in a seven-digit nest egg today. Here's an overview of how cards in general have performed relative to the S&P 500 over the past three decades, with a closer look at the superstars of the bunch. If you started investing in the S&P 500 stock index over the past 30 years, you may very well be a millionaire today. Over the past three decades, ending May 2025, the most-watched American stock index posted an average annual return of 10.313%. That means $500 invested 30 years ago would be worth roughly $9,501, or an incredible 19x your original investment. Baseball cards are a bit trickier to price on a comparison basis. For the most part, generic baseball cards are essentially worthless, perhaps valued at their original selling price. This is especially true of cards in the '80s and '90s, which were mass-produced with poor quality and garnered the nickname the 'junk wax era.' It's fair to say that anyone holding a random collection of cards from 1995 on — even with a few superstars in the mix — would have underperformed the S&P 500 significantly from a financial perspective. However, there are always a few diamonds in the rough. Know More: While the vast majority of baseball cards haven't produced significant investment returns, there are a few standouts. Here are some of the best performers, according to 1999 Topps Traded CC Sabathia Autographed Rookie Card: Estimated value — $10,000 1997 Bowman Chrome Refractor Roy Halladay Card: Estimated value — $20,000 Alex Rodriguez 1994 Upper Deck Foil Rookie Card: Sold for $40,950 in 2021 1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold Derek Jeter #100: Estimated value — $200,000 Considering the average pack of baseball cards cost between $0.50 and $0.99 in 1995, it's fair to say that these cards have had an exceptional return. Even the 'lowly' Sabathia card, valued at $10,000, represents a return of roughly 50% annually, trouncing the return of the S&P 500. The $200,000 Derek Jeter card represents a return closer to 66% annually. Although it's hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison, it's clear that the baseball card market is much more of a boom-or-bust universe than the S&P 500. While some rare, high-quality cards can fetch eye-catching returns, the average card doesn't represent much of a long-term investment. However, just because few baseball cards provide investment opportunities, that doesn't mean the market isn't booming. On the contrary, interest in sports collectibles — including baseball cards — has never been higher. According to Market Decipher, the global sports memorabilia market was valued at roughly $32.4 billion in 2023, but is expected to reach $271.2 billion by 2034 — providing a 22.1% compound annual growth rate. While this demand won't help the value of the everyday baseball card very much, it does mean that rare cards in great condition could see their values continue to soar.

Watch out for the threats that could derail the big rally
After a rally for the ages, the week ahead presents investors with some risks, maybe some big risks if people aren't careful. There are a few earnings reports to watch out for. Delta Air Lines (DAL) , due Thursday, started warning about bookings in March. Still, the second-quarter earnings season doesn't really kick in for real for another week. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Which leaves investors, whether professional managing billions or small investors trying to build a retirement stake, left to their own devices. So here's how the next week sets up. The big rally since roughly April 7 has made more money for stocks overall in two months than they did in all of 2024. The S&P 500 finished the week at 6,275. The close was a record, and the index hit a 52-week high of 6,285. The Nasdaq Composite also closed at a record 20,601, and it set a 52-week high of 20,624. The Nasdaq-100's close was a record 22,867 and reached as high as 22,896 on Friday. Related: Fund manager panel raises eyebrows with market forecasts The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 44,829, its best finish in 2025. It's just 0.5% below its 52-week high of 45,074, reached in December. The small-cap Russell 2000 average ended Friday at 2,249, up 1%, but has struggled to keep pace with its brethren. Here's how the numbers work: S&P 500, up 29.9% since its 52-week low on April Nasdaq Composite: up 39.4% since April Nasdaq-100: up 38,2% from April Dow: up 22.4% from April Russell 2000: up 29.8% from April 9 low. But there is a catch: The weak first quarter performance and then the market reaction to President Trump's Liberation Plan on tariffs nearly offset the gains since April. Here's where the indexes stand for the year: S&P 500 is up just 6.8%. The Nasdaq: up 6.7%.The Nasdaq-100: up 8.8%.The Dow: up 5.4%. The Russell 2000: up 0.9%. Related: Goldman Sachs revamps Fed interest rate cut forecast for 2025 The big rally has many people on Wall Street very excited. Not just because it's so big but because it's what they all dreamed about after Donald Trump won the White House last November. Stocks would soar, they argued, because: Taxes would be cut. The big beautiful bill has been passed and signed. Regulation would be loosened. The administration, for better or worse, is doing just spirits, Wall Street's favorite catch phrase, would be set free. Here are the risks the markets face. President Trump wanted all trade negotiations with some 90 countries to be done signed by July 9. If a deal isn't done, the administration will send out letters as early as Monday saying in effect, "Here's what your tariff will be starting Aug. 1." From, maybe, 25% or so on European motor vehicles to 70%. The question is if the Administration will impose the tariffs as suddenly and crazily, as Trump threatened in April. More Economic Analysis: 'Wrong Way' Economic Bears Drive the S&P 500 to Another All-Time HighFederal Reserve prepares strong message on long-term interest ratesWeekly Wins: A Win for WYNN Resorts from Helene MeislerAnalyst makes bold call on stocks, bonds, andThursday's jobs report looked bullish on the surface, and a number of Wall Street firms started to boost their S&P 500 price targets. When 2025 opened, 7,000 on the index was the upper end again. Many analysts chopped forecasts back in April. But looking deeply into the jobs report suggests that private-sector employment was largely flat from May to June. The gains the Labor Department reported were concentrated mostly in government and non-profit sectors. Meanwhile, tech companies are laying off thousands. Microsoft (MSFT) announced 9,000 job cuts just this past week. And the future? We'll let Ford (F) CEO Jim Farley's recent prediction do the talking: "Artificial intelligence is going to replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S." he told biographer Walter Isaacson at the Aspen Ideas Festival last month. Is anyone ready for that?

A warning: OPEC+, the group that follows production policies of when the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, agreed Saturday to raise production by 548,000 barrels per day in August. The move further accelerated output increases at the group's first meeting since oil prices jumped - and then retreated - following Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iran in June. West Texas intermediate, the benchmark U.S. crude, finished Thursday at $67 a barrel. It's down 7.3% this year. Baker Hughes oil-rig data shows 539 rigs operating in the United States as of July 3, down 8% from a year ago. Relative strength indexes for all the indexes we've discussed ended Friday above 70, a signal prices are getting frothy. The indexes themselves may not be badly overbought: You need an RSI of 80 more to make the case. Even then, the animal spirits might not give up the game. But, when Thursday ended, 87 S&P 500 stocks had RSIs above 70. (U.S. markets were closed Friday for July 4.) Of these, 15 showed RSI levels above 80. Tops is Jabil Inc. (JBL) at 89. Others include financial giants Goldman Sachs (GS) , Citigroup (C) , State Street (STT) . JP Morgan Chase (JPM) , Morgan Stanley (MS) . Bank of America's (BAC) RSI is at 79. Again, high RSI levels don't mean stocks are ready to tumble. But a mistake - in the economy, in politics, in the markets - will make it easy for the risk-averse to commence some selling. We wlll probably see some this summer. Futures trading late Friday showed indexes falling. Sunday's late trading will offer a clearer picture.
