Join CoinDesk at Our First Reader Meet-up in Argentina
Join us in Bueno Aires this Friday for our first international reader meet-up.

CoinDesk will be visiting Buenos Aires this week and we'd love to meet some of our readers for an informal gathering on Friday, August 16 at 6pm.
We have chosen the official location as AvantGarten, Av. Del Libertador 3883. Because this isn't sponsored - we simply want to meet you guys - we're happy to pick up a few beers and a little food for the group but it won't be an open bar.
We are also open to suggestions for venue although this one seems to be central and big. Please RSVP here or fill out the form below.
If you have any questions or concerns you can email me at [email protected] or ping me @johnbiggs on Telegram. Anyone can and should attend and we'd love to talk about your work in crypto, your startups, and your ideas.
You can also meet Diana Aguilar, our local South America reporter, and Ali Powell, our video director.
See you soon!

Bitcoin shorts scramble for the exits as BTC climbs

Bitcoin surged from an intraday low near $86,200 to reclaim $90,000, driven by aggressive spot buying and a wave of short liquidations.
What to know:
- Over $110 million in bitcoin short positions were liquidated in the past hour, according to Coinglass, alongside a muted rise in open interest
- The action points to spot-driven demand rather than leveraged bets driving BTC's surge to $90,000.
- Bitcoin’s cumulative volume delta jumped 1,100% during the rally, signaling aggressive buying pressure not seen since early December.
- Global Macro Investor’s Julien Bittel says an "oversold" RSI reading supports a prolonged bull market, arguing the traditional four-year cycle has broken down as bitcoin dominance climbs toward 60%.
