GΞR₿Z @ BitLift 🚀 0.1M

Still think “the cycle” is dead? From the ~$20k top in 2017 to the ~$69k top in 2021 took 1424 days. From the 2021 top to our latest ~$126k top? 1426 days! Predicting the date of the bottom is also shockingly simple 👇

@martypartymusic You got the price, I got the date. We should team up 🤝 x.com/i/status/17013…

Here was my prediction from 8/8/2021

@bitcoinjack "this time will be different" is a top signal

I have said, and remain highly fond of the idea, that the 4 year cycle is broken, because for the cycle model that I use to complete its cycle, price should have gone way beyond 200k in 2025 I therefore believe a.) there is a good chance we never finished the cycle b.) downside here will not mimic normal bear market downside expectations c.) the cycle high trends higher as time goes on Considering the macro is also not representing typical bear market context; and the consolidation since February is showing insane accumulation, there is a very good reason to abandon fractals that played out in vastly different contexts Context > candle patterns Also, context will lead the candle pattern to slowly break the fractal. We are already seeing that change since the end of March bottom, which should have broken down if the context and the pattern matched Similarly up here, if the context and pattern matched the november-january consolidation, we should no longer be at 78k Small things proving the context is different Godspeed

@arbitrum The ETH is still accessible on Arbitrum Classic!

The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications. After significant technical diligence and deliberation, the Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users. As of April 20 11:26pm ET the funds have been successfully transferred to an intermediary frozen wallet. They are no longer accessible to the address that originally held the funds, and can only be moved by further action by Arbitrum governance, which will be coordinated with relevant parties.

Unpopular take: Bitcoin won't break its previous ATH for 3-5 years

@ErikVoorhees @nikshepsvn Shouldn't the value of DIEM stabilize somewhere around the price per $1 of tokens offered by the labs + the value of privacy?

"What DIEM actually is: A fixed-yield perpetual compute bond. You own a specific daily allocation of credits. As inference costs fall globally — and they are falling fast — your 100 credits buy more compute over time. The utility increases while the cost basis is locked. DIEM is anti-fragile to the commoditization of AI inference." Ser you are one of the few that has understood DIEM 🥂

It's so much easier to be a pleasantly surprised bear than a blindsided bull

A year of digging 😂

@owocki 1) tradfi people still get wrench attacked, and have been since long before crypto existed 2) attackers still attack without understanding the difference

unpopular opinion: don’t self custody crypto-assets. ideological purity is not worth getting wrench attacked

A bitcoin is $100k It went down 25% yesterday Then back up 25% today @grok, how much is the bitcoin worth today?

@milessuter @Square Amazing 🚀 though I'll be pleasantly shocked if anyone uses it

We’re making it easier for millions of businesses to accept bitcoin. Starting today, eligible U.S. @Square sellers will begin having Bitcoin payments automatically enabled. Sellers who accept bitcoin will receive USD as default. This is how bitcoin as everyday money begins.

@NTmoney Do we have a decent explanation for why @farcaster_xyz and @LensProtocol flamed out? I don't think the crypto cycle fully explains it.

Is decentralized social dead? Absolutely not. And at 1confirmation we are putting our money where our mouth is. If you are someone bringing WINNER ENERGY to this problem reach out asap. It’s the best time ever to be pushing here. We will be your first user and investor. We all know big social networks have too much power. It is the right macro trend. We also know corpo VC slop encourages loser energy and to date we just haven’t had enough winner energy applied. Let’s go.

@marmousey Same can be said for BTC too though. Except, is BTC intended to be used?

@BitLift Possible if there were a fundamental reason for ETH to appreciate. But is there? A cheaper ETH means a cheaper chain to use.

Ethereum would have to be $19,600 today to match Bitcoin's $1.4T market cap. 9x while bitcoin holds at $70k. Possible?

@davwals @sassal0x Proud of hosting a private, closed-door, invite-only event about a platform intended to be open, decentralized and permissionless? Sad.

Yesterday we hosted the Institutional Ethereum Forum in NYC. A private, closed-door, invite-only for institutional execs. $250T+ in combined assets represented. Attended by leaders at: → DTCC → Swift → Euroclear → BlackRock → Morgan Stanley → Fidelity → JPMorgan → State Street → Mastercard → Visa → Stripe → PayPal → Nasdaq → LSEG → Broadridge → S&P Global → Moody's → Microsoft → EY → Invesco → Franklin Templeton → T. Rowe Price → Baillie Gifford → CoinFund → WisdomTree → VanEck → U.S. Bank → Western Union → Paxos → Consensys → Aave → Uniswap → Chainlink → Securitize → Ondo Finance → Paradigm → a16z → Dragonfly → Anchorage Digital And many more. Co-hosted by our friends at → @aave → @zksync → @arbitrum → @Optimism → @chainlink The institutions aren't coming. They're here. Ethereum.

@CryptoKaleo It's the halving chart with a Dune overlay

Fun fact: The trailer releases for Dune 1 & 2 both happened at the bottom of bear markets. Bitcoin went on to have bull runs that led to new all time highs and lasted for years each time. The trailer for Dune 3 released today. Run it back turbo.

@SonicLabs Sorta like how 80% of my stS got burned? @beets_fi

Burn, baby burn. 🔥 The Sonic burn tracker is now LIVE! burn.soniclabs.com

Credit cards were built for the physical realm. Plastic cards. Carbon copies. They should have never been adopted for internet payments. And they sure as hell shouldn't be adopted by the agentic economy. @pravapayments

I do wish we had stablecoins that weren't gov debt in disguise, but that's a separate issue.

I hate to even think this, but @brian_armstrong is right — BTC isn't the best option for payments in 2026 Bitcoin had a decade+ to be a payments standard & DECIDED to be a store of value instead. Store 99% of your value in BTC. Use the remaining 1% for Stablecoin payments.

Digital assets are entering a new phase. What once ran in parallel to existing financial systems is increasingly being applied to solve practical, real-world needs — often behind the scenes – from cross-border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities to add value in how money moves globally. Today, we introduced the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program — a global initiative that brings together more than 85 crypto-native companies, payments providers, and financial institutions. Together, we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space continues to mature.
