Iranian singer Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, widely known as Tataloo, has been sentenced to death on blasphemy charges by the Supreme Court, overturning a prior five-year jail term. Reformist newspaper Etemad reported that the court reopened his case after a prosecutor’s objection, with the death sentence issued for insulting Islam’s Prophet Mohammed. The verdict is not final and remains subject to appeal.

Tataloo, a 37-year-old underground musician renowned for his fusion of rap, pop, and R&B, had been living in Istanbul since 2018 but was extradited to Iran in December 2023. He has been in detention since then, facing additional sentences, including 10 years for promoting “prostitution” and accusations of spreading anti-government propaganda and publishing “obscene content.”

Previously, Tataloo garnered attention for his controversial public persona and political ties. He met with ultra-conservative figures, including the late Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, and once released a pro-nuclear program song in 2015. His sentencing marks a dramatic turn in a career that straddled both underground music and political intrigue.

The price of bitcoin shoots up to its highest level in almost five months on Tuesday. The world’s largest cryptocurrency bursts up 17 percent within 30 minutes today.

The bitcoin is a form of electronic cash. It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries

This hike will gain credence though, if and when BTC finds acceptance above the former support-turned-resistance of the 21-month exponential moving average (EMA), currently at $5,200.

The Bitcoin could get a reduction of value to $4,400 if signs of bullish exhaustion increase in the next few days.
