🔥 Token2049 — A Turning Point for Crypto Narratives?

Token2049 kicks off on April 30 — one of the biggest crypto conferences of the year. With dozens of panels and project announcements, it could mark a narrative shift for the space.

A quick scan of the agenda reveals a heavy AI focus, including the emerging DeFAI trend — a fusion of DeFi and AI that’s been gaining traction since late last year.

Historically, such events have influenced market narratives. Last year’s example: Murad’s speech helped spark the memecoin boom.

This year, expect:

• A push for new narratives, especially in AI infrastructure, autonomous agents, and modular tech
• A shift from hype to more foundational themes like RWA and a fresh take on DeFi
• No clear dominant trend — but that’s often when new ideas are born

Watch closely. The next big crypto wave might just start here.

🔥 Arthur Hayes: Bitcoin will hit $1M by 2028

Despite current instability and Trump’s tariffs, more liquidity will flow in, partly through hedge funds buying U.S. debt.

Hayes believes it’s time to go long — on both crypto and equities.

🪙Crypto critic Peter Schiff regrets not buying BTC in 2010.

American financier and head of broker firm Euro Pacific Capital Peter Schiff admitted that he “made a big mistake” when he decided not to invest in Bitcoin.

It’s hard not to be affected by FOMO in the current market, isn’t it?😅

Over the years, Schiff has regularly criticized Bitcoin, deeming it worthless and generally referring to the asset as a Ponzi scheme.

He has known of the coin’s existence since 2010 and even considered buying it, but then decided the asset had no value.

However, Schiff remains consistent and still considers Bitcoin worthless, but he still really regrets that he did not buy it 14 years ago.

Crypto Speak: Wholecoiner

A “wholecoiner” is a person who has at least exactly 1 whole BTC. Considering that the world’s population is already at 8 billion and there will be 21 million Bitcoin in total (of which analysts believe 3 million–5 million is lost forever), there won’t be enough Bitcoin for everyone.

Think about about that…😅🚀
