Chatting away on Natalie Brunell’s Coin Stories podcast, Saylor dismissed the hullabaloo about quantum computing risks to Bitcoin as a “fear fad.” Dash it all, he reckons any real danger is further off than a decent cup of tea in a railway station. CoinShares, those clever chaps, seem to agree, saying it’s at least a decade away. Phew, that’s a load off the old mind!
This news comes hot on the heels of accusations that Binance was playing fast and loose with sanctions, and that investigators got the boot for being, you know, too good at their jobs. Because nothing says “we’re serious about compliance” like firing the people who point out your compliance issues.
For nearly four decades, Gaza has been the ultimate battleground for the Israel-Iran regional dominance showdown. In 2023, things got so spicy, they went full-on missile war, with casualties piling up like unpaid bills. Over 70,000 fatalities later, Gaza’s access to the shekel dried up faster than a bagel in the desert, and its banking systems collapsed like a poorly built shtetl.
Paola Rojas, that sage of the spreadsheets, has spoken. The world, it seems, is drinking lithium like a parched man at a desert well. A 23% spike in consumption by 2025-not a fleeting fancy, but a steady, unyielding march. This is no temporary thirst, but a deep, industrial hunger. The market, ever the pragmatist, nods in approval. The cycle, it whispers, is built on the bones of real demand, not the whims of speculation.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a coordinated assault, grammatical mis‑represented as a trio of daring manoeuvres, seeks to dissolve as neatly a stable coin from its rosy counterpart and thereafter amass a profit from such disorder.
One might expect that accumulating ETH like a dragon hoarding gold would buoy the stock. Yet BitMine’s shares slouch lower, their structural integrity resembling a poorly constructed Punch and Judy puppet. Which begs the question: Is this a stock or a tragicomedy in disguise?
The grand Network Realized Profit/Loss chart, which chronicles five tumultuous years of XRP’s existence, now displays an alarming spike in losses. With around -908 million XRP lost to the abyss, one can’t help but chuckle at the irony: this is the largest capitulation since that fateful November of 2022 when losses reached a staggering -1.93 billion! Investors, bless their hearts, were selling off like there was no tomorrow, only to find that tomorrow came with a lovely price recovery.
On Saturday, in a tweet that echoed through the digital ether like a mildly interesting rumor, Bitdeer revealed its latest weekly update. It turns out that they mined 189.8 BTC during this period, which sounds impressive until you realize they sold it all off faster than a kid at a candy store. Consequently, their net holdings plummeted to a rather dismal zero. Bravo, Bitdeer, Bravo!
Gather around, dear readers, for the tale of the CoinDesk Indices unfolds like an old, tattered map leading us through the treacherous terrain of the crypto marketplace.
Bitcoin‘s daily chart on Monday morning reflects a clear macro downtrend from the $95,000 region into a capitulation wick near $59,930, followed by a reactive bounce and sideways compression between $65,000 and $70,000. Lower highs continue to print even after the rebound, preserving the broader bearish structure.
