So, there's an interesting report from CoinShares that actually eases many people's fears about quantum computing and Bitcoin. They say that concerns about an imminent quantum threat are actually greatly exaggerated.
The conclusion is quite simple but detailed: only about 8% of the total Bitcoin (—around 1.6 million BTC)—are in old P2PK addresses where the public key is visible on the blockchain. And of that amount, only about 10,200 BTC are concentrated enough that a theft could significantly shake the market. The rest? Spread across more than 32,000 UTXOs with an average of 50 BTC per piece.

Attention: Bitcoin is pulling back to the 71K area, down from the previous level ahead of the highly anticipated US employment data release (AS, employment data). I see this movement is also influenced by the strength of the DXY, which remains solid; investors seem cautious before the employment report comes out.
Meanwhile, oil is starting to rise again due to the tense situation with Iran. So we have two different directions in the market—crypto is under pressure while energy commodities are supported by geopolitical tensions. A strong DXY also means capital flows from emerging markets are de

I just noticed XRP is again in a very interesting zone for traders. There is an options position worth $14 million that is expiring and could potentially influence price action in the near future.
From a market perspective, this level is a classic battleground where many traders have open positions. Some crypto news sources are discussing this, and the situation is quite crucial for XRP's future movement.
It's really interesting how these expiring options contracts can create new momentum. Anyone following XRP should pay more attention to this level, as it could be a turning point for the nex

I just saw that the CIO of Sygnum shared some interesting insights about Bitcoin's recent trend. He believes that in the short term, Bitcoin is indeed facing liquidity pressure and may continue to decline, and this judgment is quite cautious. However, what's interesting is that he also emphasizes that the long-term bullish outlook remains solid. This kind of view is actually quite common in the market—short-term fluctuations and long-term trends are often two different things.
From a technical perspective, liquidity issues are indeed a factor to watch. When market liquidity is tight, prices us

Recently, my attention has been drawn to what is actually happening with Block. The company is shrinking drastically, cutting employees from over 10,000 at the pandemic's peak to around 6,000 now, almost back to their 2019 size when they only had 3,800 people. At first glance, it looks like ordinary efficiency, especially with Jack Dorsey emphasizing how AI enables smaller teams to work faster.
But there is a much deeper story here, and I believe this is what needs to be watched.
Block is built on a traditional payment model, where they take a percentage of each merchant transaction. The 2-3%

I just found out about a major acquisition in crypto. H100 is planning to take over the largest Bitcoin vault in Europe with 3,500 BTC inside. The numbers are quite impressive; the company's stock might move after the official announcement. But I'm curious, why now? Is there a new trend in institutional custody or something?

Interesting to see that the Bitcoin buying strategy for this quarter is still ongoing despite the price dropping. I read several crypto news outlets discussing this, and it turns out there is an interesting pattern behind the institutions' decision to continue accumulating. Bounty is a form of incentive often used in the crypto industry to encourage participation, but here it’s more about long-term strategy. The current BTC price is at $73.13K with a positive movement of 0.44% in the last 24 hours. So even with price pressure, major players seem to see this as an opportunity to increase their

Just saw last week's story that Saylor bought Bitcoin worth $168 million. This has become a routine pattern for MicroStrategy's CEO—whenever there's an opportunity, he immediately accumulates BTC. His long-term strategy is clear; he believes Bitcoin will continue to appreciate. It's very interesting to see major institutions remain aggressively accumulating amid market volatility. Looking at the trend, this is a bullish signal from top-tier investors who understand the fundamentals of crypto. Last Sunday served as a reminder that some still believe in Bitcoin for the long term.

Next week there are several important events in crypto to watch. First, the US inflation data will be released, and this is always an important indicator for market movements. Usually after macro announcements like this, volatility can increase significantly across all crypto assets.
On the blockchain side, Polkadot is preparing a highly anticipated update. This update could affect network performance and may become a hot topic in the community this week. There are always moments like this in Q1 or any period when major projects perform technical upgrades.
Additionally, there are upcoming anno

I just read Michael Saylor's opinion on Bitcoin, which is quite interesting. He said Bitcoin is currently in a phase similar to Apple's 'valley of despair' back then — if you know Apple's history, that phase was the darkest period before their spectacular comeback.
Saylor describes the current crypto market situation with a good analogy. According to him, the size of the global investment map still doesn't fully encompass Bitcoin's potential as a digital asset. That means many institutional investors are still hesitant, market sentiment remains negative, but the technological fundamentals rema

This week I noticed the movement of major cryptocurrencies was quite interesting before the Fed decision. Bitcoin briefly touched $75,912 but immediately dropped back below $74,400, clearly showing that the rally was more driven by derivatives activity than new demand from buyers. But looking at the weekly chart, all major tokens have actually increased significantly. Bitcoin up 9%, Ether 11%, XRP 3%, Solana 5%, Dogecoin 2%, and BNB also up 3% in the past week. This is the broadest rally since before the Iran situation escalated.
What’s interesting is that institutional fund flow data remains

I just read a statement from Keyrock's CEO about Bitcoin, and he has an interesting perspective amid the current market volatility. According to him, Bitcoin is still undervalued—which means the market hasn't fully priced in its true value here.
What’s interesting is the framing that functionality is the foundation of long-term valuation. It’s not just about hype or trading momentum, but about what Bitcoin truly offers as an asset and technology. Here, we’re talking about durability, security, and the evolving adoption narrative.
He also refers to this as a "transition year"—a period where we

So a few weeks ago, there were some important events that caused movements in the crypto and macro markets. If you follow along, Hive Digital Technologies is actually one of the largest data center operators for Bitcoin mining, and they’ve been in the spotlight because of their ongoing expansion. Similar to Riot Platforms, both are adding high-performance computing for AI to their mining operations. That’s a sign that the Bitcoin mining industry is starting to evolve beyond just hash power.
On the macroeconomic side, the most anticipated was the Federal Open Market Committee minutes released t

I just realized that Elon Musk’s Bitcoin holdings in SpaceX are currently experiencing quite significant paper losses. Back in December, their stack of 8,285 BTC was worth $780 million, but now it’s down to $545 million. It fell by $235 million over 3 months without them selling a single BTC. The BTC price is also dropping—down from $92,500 to around $73,190 now—which is why the value of their assets has plunged.
Interestingly, this could become an issue for SpaceX’s IPO planned for Juni, with a valuation of more than $1,75 trillion. When they open their S-1 filing, all investors will be ab

Bitcoin is still holding strong around the $72,000 mark. I see the crypto market had a pretty good rise, but now it's kind of pausing. It seems like investors are taking a breather after a significant rally last week.
I've heard that the current crypto market momentum is still positive, but volatility remains. Some altcoins are also fluctuating up and down. It's interesting to watch how BTC can maintain this level while the overall crypto market is still in consolidation mode.
Looking at the chart, the $72,000 level acts as a fairly strong support. The crypto market probably needs a few more d

Bitcoin is seriously dropping again, yesterday it briefly rebounded but then immediately lost gains. Now it’s stuck in the 65-66k range, even though the latest data shows the price around 72k, but the momentum is still weak. The problem isn’t just crypto, but the entire risk asset market is selling off. Tech stocks, especially software ETFs, dropped another 5%, private equity stocks also declined 6-8%. These problematic stock sectors are dragging crypto down with them.
What’s interesting is that Bitcoin is now moving like a high-beta asset rather than a safe haven. Investors are pulling money

Just read an interesting perspective from Adam Back about the current Bitcoin cycle. He is one of the early architects of Bitcoin, so his opinions are always worth paying attention to.
If you don't know, Adam Back is the creator of Hashcash and has made significant contributions to the development of Bitcoin from the beginning. So when he talks about what is happening in the market now, it's not just ordinary speculation.
CoinDesk once featured Adam Back's thoughts on the dynamics of the ongoing crypto cycle. They are a fairly credible news outlet covering this industry, although of course the

So why is crypto down today? I see Bitcoin struggling again below 68K after rising to 74K a few days ago. Basically, looking at the chart, weekend patterns always involve selling that causes prices to fall. This week, Bitcoin is still up 8.5%, but the volatility is quite confusing.
The main issue is the US dollar which is very strong right now. This week, the dollar recorded its biggest increase in a year, directly impacting all risk assets including crypto. Plus, the expectation that the Federal Reserve will delay interest rate cuts, so investors prefer cash over crypto. The conflict in the M

Bitcoin just touched the $72.27K level, but I notice many traders are starting to be cautious about the possibility of a bull trap here. The upward momentum does seem apparent, but volume and sentiment are not fully aligned—this is a classic warning sign.
Some experienced traders are already positioning themselves to face a pullback scenario. They see resistance at this level as potentially a trap for retail traders FOMO-ing in. The chart action this week shows high volatility, but there’s no strong confirmation yet for a sustainable breakout.
So if you see this pump, don’t get excited right a

I just realized that many crypto traders still don't understand the importance of choosing the best trading hours for crypto. Timing is a game changer for long-term profitability.
Here's the thing: cryptocurrency is unique because it can be traded 24/7 without stopping. But don't be mistaken into thinking every hour has the same opportunity. Trading volume, volatility, and liquidity change drastically depending on the hour and day of trading. If you trade during quiet hours, transaction fees can be higher, spreads widen, and it's harder to find fair prices for entry or exit.
For day traders wh
