Amazon Drops Sonos Portable Bluetooth Speaker Price For The 2nd Time, Now at a New All-Time Low
A portable Bluetooth speaker is the ultimate summer essential and at this price, it's a rare find. Amazon just lowered the price a second time in days on the Sonos Move 2, the company's top-selling portable Bluetooth speaker. This great speaker launched at $449 but today it's available for just $336 which is a tremendous 25% savings and the lowest price to date on this model. Sonos has built its reputation on quality and never reduces prices, just like Apple. That's why it's such a treat to find the Move 2 here, and it's a great opportunity for someone who must upgrade their portable audio system. See at Amazon Best Audio Brand Sonos is best known for its WiFi speakers which are the backbone of multi-room audio systems and smart homes. But the Move 2 stands out from Sonos products because it combines the company's award-winning sound with the simplicity of Bluetooth. That makes it the most convenient Sonos speaker for summer barbecues, outdoor entertaining and travel—wherever you want to take best-of-class sound beyond your home WiFi. The Move 2 is far more improved than the original Move with new acoustic design employing two tweeters instead of one. This creates a true stereo soundstage with articulate vocals and accurate instrument separation and the closely tuned woofer delivers deep and dynamic bass that's rich enough to fill indoor and outdoor spaces. Sonos' automatic Trueplay tuning is built in so the Move 2 is constantly adapting its sound to your environment for the best possible listening. This Sonos speaker also gives you up to 24 hours of playback on one charge (double the previous generation) so that you can keep the music playing all day and into the night. When it is time to recharge, just set it down onto the included wireless charging base, now with a removable power cord and smaller adapter for added convenience. The speaker is also made to withstand the elements, with an IP56 water and dust rating and the use of shock-absorbing materials to protect against slips. Easy to control, easy to use: stream music from Bluetooth, WiFi or Apple AirPlay 2, and enjoy voice and touch control on the device. The Move 2 can also be included in your existing Sonos setup for multi-room audio or as a standalone speaker wherever you need it. To connect an analog source, there's a USB-C port for line-in. As a speaker that very rarely sees discounts, this Memorial Day sale at the last minute is an excellent chance to have one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers on the market, just in time for summer adventures.

Aptos CEO says crypto will power ‘one global market' for everyone
Avery Ching, co-founder and CEO of Aptos, believes crypto is finally ready to deliver on the promises it made over a decade ago — with Aptos playing a starring role. Speaking with TheStreet Roundtable host Scott Melker, Ching made a bold case for why Aptos could become the 'global trading engine' of the future. 'The technology is finally there,' Ching said. 'You have something like an Aptos that can do payments in under a hundredth of a cent. Finality times… about 600 milliseconds today and going to get faster over time.' He added that Aptos could scale to rival — or even surpass — the likes of Mastercard and Visa. That level of speed and efficiency, Ching argued, makes it possible to build a permissionless, composable global trading infrastructure — one that could absorb use cases currently handled by siloed institutions like the NYSE and NASDAQ. 'We can actually build out systems that are going to be one global market,' Ching said. 'An example would be like if you want to take out a loan and then make a trade and then upon the trade do another action — you can string all those things together on a blockchain permissionlessly.' When asked if tokenizing traditional assets is required to reach that level of integration, Ching acknowledged it's not an overnight process — but inevitable. 'We'll start to see even IPOs happening on-chain,' he said. 'It'll be piecemeal… but as time progresses, it starts to become this avalanche of activity.' Ching also touched on financial accessibility, highlighting that 'even for today, a lot of the people in the US don't invest into equities because it's just too hard.' In that context, crypto's ability to create open, borderless financial access becomes revolutionary. With final settlement times faster than Visa and costs far below the SWIFT system, Ching believes the world is on the cusp of a financial overhaul, 'These financial barriers have been completely unlocked… We're going to see the global economy elevated to such a scale that we never imagined.' Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain built for speed, scalability, and reliability, aiming to support the next generation of decentralized applications. It was developed by former Meta engineers and leverages the Move programming language for enhanced security.
