$BTC We should now be looking for lower levels in the coming weeks/months. #Bitcoin breaking the previous low COMPLETELY changes the outlook now when it comes to the primary counts. Bulls had every chance to keep it alive after completing 3 of the 5 necessary components of the triangle in a WXY sideways combo that we originally assumed as it continued to distribute in 3-wave moves. Scenarios: 1️⃣ Flat (currently in wave C) Don't like this, but it's the last distribution pattern if we use the macro 5-wave move into an intermediate degree wave (1). The entire range would then be classified as a sideways structure that we originally anticipated, but C wave now breaking market structure hitting the $60K regions. 2️⃣ Macro Ending Diagonal Working as a WXY to the downside using the ATH as the cut point to help give the current price action the necessary wave separation. Target is also in line with the $60K regions as the flat idea. In easy terms, both are giving pretty much the same medium timeframe targets. Now, in terms of organizing the next wave structure and prepared alternatives, we resort to a shorter timeframe bearish bias, and macro top to be made before a possible massive blowoff top to occur near the end of the decade. It's best to now assume the move from ATH is separated price action to help give the move down its necessary wave structure more room from a Fib Extension point of view to understand minimum and maximum target zones.

AI has killed Bitcoin forever. It became Bitcoin mining’s biggest competitor. Not another crypto. AI. Because both industries compete for the same thing: electricity. And right now, AI is willing to pay much more for it. Bitcoin mining revenue per MW: $57 – $129 AI data center revenue per MW: $200 – $500 Same electricity. But up to 8x more profitable. That’s why miners are starting to pivot. Core Scientific signed a massive AI hosting deal. Hut 8 signed a $7B AI infrastructure agreement. Cipher Mining cut its hashrate 51% to focus on AI compute. So a new question is emerging: If AI becomes the highest bidder for electricity, what happens to Bitcoin? In my new video, I break down: • Why miners are switching • What it means for hash rate • And the two scenarios that could play out for Bitcoin [link in comments]

the people who bought bitcoin at $16k in 2022 felt exactly like you feel right now scared, uncertain, wondering if the thesis was broken they were rewarded with a 600% move

In collaboration with @unchained, ARK Invest's new paper on Bitcoin and Quantum computing is live! ---- Bitcoin and Quantum Computing This paper assesses whether and how advances in quantum computing (QC) pose a risk to Bitcoin. Our two central arguments are as follows: 1. Quantum is a long-term risk but not an imminent threat. The community must continue to research and make plans for protecting the network as quantum computers improve. 2. If quantum computing were to affect Bitcoin’s cryptography, the process would be protracted and undertaken at a cost to the attacker. Today’s quantum systems lack the capabilities required to compromise Bitcoin. Meaningful breakthroughs would disrupt internet security first, triggering coordinated responses well beyond Bitcoin. In our view, quantum development will be a gradual technological progression—not a sudden “Q-day” event—giving markets and the Bitcoin network time to adapt. Quantum computers use qubits that can exist in superposition, enabling quantum algorithms to scale more quickly than classical algorithms. Their performance is measured by parameters like the number of logical qubits and the degree of logical depth, both of which must be high and error-corrected to have an impact on Bitcoin. Today’s systems operate in the so-called “NISQ era”—roughly 100 logical qubits and circuit depths in the hundreds—both well below the thresholds necessary to break Bitcoin’s elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). To do so would require at least 2,330 logical qubits and tens of millions to billions of quantum gates. Of the Bitcoin supply currently exposed to the quantum threat, ~1.7 million bitcoin (BTC) lie in vulnerable P2PK address types and are believed to be lost, and ~5.2 million BTC lie in migratable re-used or P2TR addresses—adding to ~35% of total outstanding supply. That said, quantum risk is unlikely to surface as an event but as a protracted sequence of observable milestones, as follows: Stage 0: Quantum computers exist but are not commercially useful. Today’s quantum computers operate with limited logical qubits and high error rates, presenting no threat to Bitcoin. Stage 1: Quantum computers become commercially useful in fields like chemistry and materials simulation, well before cryptographic applications manifest. Stage 2: Quantum computing becomes powerful enough to break weak keys or deprecated cryptosystems. Stage 3: Quantum computers can break elliptic curve cryptography of the kind used for bitcoin keys, but they take a long time to do so. Quantum-vulnerable bitcoin is now at risk. Stage 4: Key-breaking occurs more quickly than Bitcoin’s 10-minute block time, network viability requiring protocol-level, post-quantum cryptography upgrades. Against that backdrop, the most important investment-related questions are: 1. When will quantum computing break an elliptic curve key for the first time, and when will the subsequent break take place? 2. Who will control early quantum capability, and what will be their incentives? 3. What will quantum attacks cost relative to other more profitable or rewarding efforts? 4. How effectively will the Bitcoin community coordinate governance decisions and implement post-quantum cryptography? This paper argues that quantum risk will evolve over an extended period of time, with many intermediate warning signals and decision points. An abrupt single point of failure is unlikely.

It’s ironic to me that people say Bitcoin is “backed” by nothing… When in reality, Bitcoin requires energy to create, and energy is one of the only things you cannot fake in the entire world So when people say this, they are really touching on the subject that makes Bitcoin so incredible in the first place

⚡️Gen Z is the first cohort to enter adulthood after the ladder broke and before the new ladder is built. The meme lists symptoms. The signal is the mechanism. The mechanism is margin collapse. Rent and housing eat the margin. Debt eats the margin. Entry level compression eats the margin. War noise eats the margin. AI eats the margin by turning “starter tasks” into software. When margin collapses, three things happen. First, risk dies. You cannot move, quit, experiment, or fail safely. You become obedient to the paycheck. That is why anxiety is the dominant emotion. It is not weakness. It is accurate accounting. Second, the credential loses its magic. A degree without margin is not a key, it is a heavier backpack. The market still pays for competence, but the old badge no longer guarantees access. That feels like betrayal because it is. Third, the social contract flips. The old deal was effort plus time equals security. The new deal is leverage plus positioning equals optionality. If you do not have leverage, you are not just underpaid, you are replaceable on a shorter clock. AI is not the whole story, but it is the accelerant. It hits the exact layer Gen Z historically used to climb. The first two years of spreadsheet work, analyst work, junior dev work, coordinator work, basic marketing ops. That used to be the apprenticeship. Now it is a feature. So the pipeline narrows and the remaining seats require proof, not potential. This is why aggregates can look fine. The economy can be “okay” while the entry and middle feel like a meat grinder. The pain is concentrated. The winners are quiet. The losers are numerous. The average lies. Here is the real signal. For the next 12 to 24 months, the world will keep telling Gen Z the problem is attitude, attention span, hustle, or entitlement. The real problem is that the economy is repricing human labor from “default input” to “premium edge.” Only two classes keep pricing power. People who own an outcome. People who can drive a loop. Own an outcome means your name sits next to a number that moves. Revenue, retention, cost, risk, quality, time to ship. If the number moves, you are harder to delete. Drive a loop means you can take ambiguity, turn it into an action, run the action repeatedly, and compound the result. AI makes loops cheaper, so the winners are the ones who can design them and aim them. Everyone else becomes a passenger on someone else’s loop. So what do regular people do. They stop playing the identity game and start playing the leverage game. They pick a domain where results show up weekly. They build proof in public or in receipts. They use AI to multiply output, then attach that output to a number that matters. The meme feels like doom. It is actually a sorting function. Gen Z gets crushed if they keep trying to win the old way. Gen Z becomes lethal if they learn leverage early, because the older cohorts are still playing by rules that no longer exist.

The life of Gen Z: - College degree is worthless - Rent is half your paycheck - AI is replacing your job - Houses cost 20x your salary - WW3 started and you might get drafted - Boomers asking why you're stressed

Rawl@EtherRawl·
Someone asked me recently even before the conflict officially started and told me “If a war between Iran and Israel happens, then the DXY should go down because they will print money" I told him “No, that’s not how it works” In times of war or major geopolitics shock, the DXY usually rises because the USD is considered a safe haven asset compared to other currencies, investors tend to pull their money out of regions affected by the conflict and park it in the USD instead. That’s why we see the DXY rising, and if you think this is healthy, you’re wrong because it means that something somewhere is about to crack, even worse than what we’ve seen so far. The good news is what happens next, the bad news is what’s happening now.
Rawl@EtherRawl

One of the best looking charts right now is the DXY. A quick summary of what happened is that we took liquidity below the lows each time followed by a bounce, without reaching my lower target between 94.6 and 93.3. This suggests that a move back to higher levels was only a matter of time. Either way, as I mentioned earlier in the year in another post, I expect us to revisit 100.8 or slightly higher, where a local top will likely be printed again. In theory this may initially come with some turbulence, potentially leading to market capitulation while Bitcoin gets its BOS. From there on the DXY a move down to new lows will positively impact the markets, fueling aggressive moves among risk-on while risk-off assets will provide good hedging opportunities.

BREAKING: MARA just broke the BTC HODL pledge. 53,822 BTC. The second-largest public Bitcoin holder on Earth rewrote its treasury policy in a 10-K filed Monday and told the SEC it may start selling coins off the balance sheet. Not just mined output. The reserves. The ones they swore they would never touch. This is not flexibility. This is the math forcing the hand. Production cost sits at $87,000 per coin. Spot trades at $69,000. Every block mined loses money. Hashprice collapsed to a record low of $35 per petahash. And here is the number that tells you everything about where the conviction actually stood: in 2025, MARA bought 4,267 BTC on the open market at an average price of $111,034 per coin. Those purchased coins are now 38% underwater. The company posted a $1.7 billion net loss in Q4 and took a $1.5 billion write-down on the very asset it built its identity around holding forever. They are not the only ones running for the exit. Core Scientific is liquidating ALL 2,537 BTC this quarter. Its CEO called mining essentially in runoff. Bitdeer dumped its entire treasury to zero. Riot sold 5,363 BTC across 2025. Cango moved 4,451 BTC for $305 million. CleanSpark sold 577 BTC in a single month while producing 7,124 for the year, meaning the treasury is shrinking not growing. Every major public miner is converting Bitcoin into AI data center capital because one megawatt of mining revenue earns a mining multiple while one megawatt of AI cloud revenue earns three to twenty-five times that. The arbitrage is not subtle. It is screaming. Now look at the other side of this trade. Strategy bought 3,015 BTC last week at $67,700. Holdings: 720,737 BTC. Cost basis: $54.77 billion. Saylor is the only large-scale public buyer left standing in a market where every producer is selling. The entities that mine Bitcoin no longer want to hold it. The entity that holds the most Bitcoin has never mined a single satoshi. Production and accumulation have fully decoupled for the first time in this asset’s sixteen-year history. But the blockchain is telling a different story than the filing. Arkham Intelligence shows 13,057 BTC on-chain in identifiable MARA wallets versus 53,822 reported. The rest sits in custodial or off-chain arrangements. And since the 10-K dropped, zero confirmed on-chain movement. The SEC paperwork says sell. The chain says wait. That gap is where the real signal lives. Falsifier: if MARA wallets show no material outflows within 90 days, this was optionality theater and the overhang is phantom. If movement begins into a market sitting at Fear and Greed 15 with BTC already 22% down year-to-date, the reflexive loop activates and every miner treasury becomes a ticking supply bomb. The HODL era for public miners ended the day the halving killed the margin and AI offered a twenty-five-times exit. They were never conviction holders. They were businesses waiting for a better trade. They found it.

Not buying Kaspa at these levels would be a disservice to my kids. My target for $KAS is 2.3 cents, but who knows? What I do know is that I was happy buying a big bag at the top when KRC20 launched, so I am extremely happy now. Everything about Kaspa is better now than it was at any point previously.
