South Africa captain Aiden Markram says his side can expect to have a target on their back when they begin a new cycle of the World Test Championship as defending champions.

Amazon may have announced new Echo Show devices recently, but it didn’t touch the humble Echo Spot.

Bitcoin’s wonderful rally to a new all-time high of $125,700 on Sunday was met almost immediately by a sharp correction. This sudden pullback, which is expected given the all-time high, saw Bitcoin break below $123,000 in less than two hours after the new record. Interestingly, on-chain data shows a notable increase in whale activity during and after the all-time high to and from exchanges. One such example is a massive $200 million Bitcoin transfer into Binance, a move that appears to have been a calculated profit-taking action by a whale address.
