I saw a post by Kill, a quantum trader in Bitcoin. He entered a short position yesterday at $74,688, with a stop set at $80,000. Interestingly, he says himself that this is his last attempt in this bull cycle. The guy believes that the top could be in May 2025, although the timing might shift slightly. He has over 180,000 followers on X, so he's being watched. Currently, Bitcoin is around $77.8K, so he's in a swing zone between entry and stop. It will be interesting to see how this develops further. Such positions are always risky, but if you know what you're doing...

Noticed an interesting movement with LIT - the price stays at $0.87, and the market capitalization is about $217 million. It turns out that Dragonfly recently received a substantial batch of tokens from Lighter, totaling 55.83 million LIT. According to the blockchain data, this looks like an investment package that was frozen for a year after the token launch.
What’s interesting is that Dragonfly will receive these tokens gradually, but they won't be put into circulation until after the end of December 2026. Such a locking scheme is quite typical for large investors to avoid a sharp dump on th

February brought a wave of tax initiatives in the cryptocurrency sector — and it deserves attention. While Bitcoin fluctuated below $70 000, governments around the world were actively rewriting their approaches to taxing digital assets. Here's what is really happening.
The Netherlands made the most high-profile move — on February 12, the parliament advanced a law on taxing unrealized gains at a rate of 36%. It sounds crazy, but the essence is that the tax applies to savings, liquid investments, and cryptocurrencies — even if you haven't sold anything. The cabinet has already hinted that it may

It's interesting that SpiderPool, one of the largest mining pools in the world, has just launched support for NAT distribution. Overall, this seems like a serious move — on April 17, they implemented NAT broadcasting directly into a Bitcoin block, which symbolically marked the transition to a two-tier reward system.
For those who are not in the know: NAT (DMT-NAT) is a cryptocurrency generated along with each Bitcoin block every ten minutes. Its feature is that it has the same computational power and structure as BTC itself — the same blockchain, blocks, addresses. Currently, about 386 million

I noticed an interesting point. When people talk about major changes in the global financial system, they usually mean political decisions. But in reality, it's about something much more fundamental.
If a real restructuring of the global financial infrastructure begins, it will open the door to completely new solutions. And here’s an important point: XRP Ledger was designed from the very beginning not to be part of the old system. It’s not just another token; it’s a technology that could become part of a new architecture.
Currently, the XRP price is holding at $1.42, and although there was a s

An interesting point I noticed: Satoshi Nakamoto's wealth, the creator of Bitcoin, is now valued at over $130 billion. Can you imagine? One person holds that much capital, yet not a single one of his coins has been spent or sold all these years.
This looks somewhat strange in the context of current BTC prices. Even at the current rate, his assets remain in a dormant giant status. No movements, no transactions — just cold wallets from the network's early days.
So, Satoshi Nakamoto's net worth is theoretically astronomical, but in practice, these bitcoins are inaccessible to the market. A stran

The situation in the Middle East has intensified — the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed, and that concerns one-fifth of the world’s oil trade. Brent has already broken the $96 level and is moving toward one hundred. But this is not just an energy price spike. Here, a reverse yen carry trade mechanism is being triggered, one that could unravel global markets.
For context: the traditional carry trade worked like this — you borrow cheap yen at low interest rates in Japan, invest in income-generating American assets, stocks, bonds. Trillions flowed from Japan to the US, inflating bubbles ac

Do you remember the story about Bitcoin and pizza? Everyone knows about the 10,000 BTC that Laszlo Hanyecz spent on dinner. But that’s only half the story.
This person is actually a legend in the crypto world, and few realize how deep his role in the development of Bitcoin truly is. Laszlo didn’t just spend coins on pizza — he was one of the first to experiment with blockchain technology. While others were still mining Bitcoin with CPUs, he had already launched GPU mining and was mining thousands of BTC daily. Satoshi Nakamoto himself noticed this and even worried that the network might be ove

I noticed that ETH is staying above $2,300, and this is starting to resemble the 2017 situation. Several traders are discussing that the pattern is a classic accumulation cycle with a breakout — back then, the coin grew from 100 to over 1,000 in a few months. Now, we see a similar structure on the ETH/BTC chart, although the price is still 32% below the peak. Analysts are talking about a potential 3-4 times growth over a 6-month horizon if the current support level is maintained. Interestingly, open interest in futures has returned to highs despite the price lagging behind. Could this divergen

I noticed an interesting pattern over the weekend: Riot Platforms in the first quarter of 2026 sold 3,778 bitcoins, earning about $289.5 million. At the same time, they mined only 1,473 BTC during that period. So, they sold 2.6 times more than they mined. At first glance, it looks like panic, but digging deeper — it’s more of a strategic move.
The key point: the company simultaneously increased its hash rate by 26% to 42.5 EH/s and reduced electricity costs by 21% year over year. Plus, they received $21 million in energy credits. This is not a sign that they are in trouble — it’s reinvesting

Here's an interesting character worth paying attention to in the crypto space. Ilya Polosukhin is one of those people whose influence extends far beyond a single project. He initially worked at Google on TensorFlow, then launched NEAR Protocol. A typical path for a technologist who realized that blockchain needs a more user-friendly architecture.
What’s interesting is that when you look at his background — a graduate of MIPT, seven years at Google, intensive work with machine learning. He’s not an accidental figure in crypto, but a serious engineer who made a conscious decision to move into bl

An interesting point in the regulatory fight around stablecoins. New York Attorney General Letitia James, along with colleagues from other districts, has just issued an open letter to Senate leadership regarding the GENIUS Act. And their position is quite firm.
The essence of the complaint is simple: the law allegedly legitimizes stablecoins on paper, but in practice leaves victims of fraud unprotected. Prosecutors say that GENIUS establishes reserve requirements for issuers but does not provide a mechanism for returning stolen assets to victims. This creates a gap that could encourage stablec

An interesting observation — the BRS signal for Bitcoin has finally started to change direction. A month ago, the index was stuck at 100 when the price was around $75,000, and now it is slowly moving downward. For those catching rebounds using the BRS method, this might be interesting: the signal triggers when BRS returns to zero at a price above $75,000. The current price is around $77,400, so the conditions are still met. Statistics show that such a BRS signal works approximately 82% of the time over the past years. Of course, this is only relevant if you trade rebounds or want to close a po

I noticed an interesting point in the history of crypto partnerships. Cross River Bank is one of those rare traditional banks that understood the potential of blockchain early on. Since 2014, they have been working with Ripple, and this is not just sponsorship but a real integration of technologies.
Ripple is essentially a solution for instant cross-border payments, and Cross River uses exactly this infrastructure. As an FDIC-protected institution, they can afford to experiment with such technologies while still maintaining all the necessary security and compliance levels.
What’s especially in

I just read about the disclosure of Kevin Warsh’s assets ahead of the Senate hearings—and it’s definitely worth paying attention to. The guy filed a 69-page financial disclosure with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, and it turned up something interesting for a potential Fed chair.
The point is that Kevin Warsh owns a fairly broad portfolio of cryptocurrency assets. His net worth is estimated between $131 million and $209 million. But the main thing isn’t the size—it’s the composition. The portfolio is split between two major structures: two positions in Juggernaut Fund LP, each over $50 m

I just looked at the CoinGecko report for the first quarter — the picture turned out to be bleak. The crypto market has clearly entered a serious correction, not just a pullback like before. The total market capitalization dropped by 20.4%, now standing at $2.4 trillion. That’s nearly half of October’s peak last year. Bitcoin was especially affected, down 22% for the quarter — almost in sync with stocks falling.
What’s interesting: stablecoins held steady, but USDT volume for the first time since 2022 has started to decline. This is a signal that even conservative traders have pulled liquidity

An interesting figure in the global financial system is Larry Fink. This guy is not just running one of the largest investment firms; he has essentially reshaped the entire approach to asset management. He started back in the late 80s, and now his BlackRock controls over $9 trillion. That's just an enormous amount.
Born in 1952, Fink transformed the company into a global player by focusing on risk management and modern technologies. What's interesting is that founders and leaders of major financial institutions usually stay in the shadows, but Fink actively participates in shaping the agenda.

Shiba Inu is stuck in a state of uncertainty. The latest news about the SHIB coin shows a classic picture: the price is almost at zero, down 0.82% over the day, trading volume has fallen to $447,000. Meanwhile, new tokens have flooded into exchanges — about 200 billion SHIB have been transferred in a short period. When traders move coins from wallets to platforms, it’s usually a precursor to a sell-off.
The RSI index is at 55 — pure neutrality. Neither bulls are pushing nor bears are panicking. Everyone is just waiting. Interestingly, the number of active addresses on the network has increased

An interesting statement from the head of Circle. Джереми Эллер delivered a fairly sharp critique of traditional PoW-based mining, saying it’s simply a colossal waste of electricity. Honestly, this discussion has been going on in the community for a long time, but when major figures in the industry voice it, you start to think.
His idea is interesting—he suggests combining artificial intelligence outputs with PoW mechanisms to get a more efficient consensus model. Like, not just calculating hashes, but also generating a useful result along the way. It sounds logical, honestly.
But here’s what
