The Human Body's Unseen Electrical Grid
The brain uses approximately 20% of the body's total oxygen and glucose supply, despite constituting only about 2% of the body's mass.

If you invested $100 at the start of the week on November 13, you’d have lost about $1.67 with the S&P 500, about 36 cents with the DAX, and nearly $8.92 if you were holding Bitcoin.
Stocks drifted lower but not dramatically, while Bitcoin took a harder tumble. It was a reminder that not every week is a rally, sometimes markets idly slide and patience is the only trade to make.
