Bolivia Turns to Crypto Amid Inflation Crisis
With inflation soaring, the boliviano collapsing, and a dollar shortage, small businesses in Cochabamba, Bolivia are rapidly adopting crypto.
Locals now pay for meals, salon visits, and even fried chicken using BTC and USDT — often via Binance.
USDT daily volume has hit $600K, effectively replacing the national currency in daily trade.
Crypto is no longer just an asset — in Bolivia, it's becoming money.

$2B in 14-year-old BTC just moved – no one knows who owns it
On July 4, two ancient wallets, each holding 10,000 BTC (worth over $2 billion in total), suddenly moved their funds for the first time in 14 years.
The coins were received back in April 2011, when BTC was just ~$0.78 — that’s a 140,000x price increase!
No signs of selling yet — the BTC was sent to fresh, non-exchange wallets and hasn’t moved since. Interestingly, the full amount was transferred without a small test transaction, which is rare for such old wallets.
Ownership remains unknown, and the addresses had been completely inactive until now.
One thing’s clear: some Bitcoin whales really know how to HODL.

Pi Cycle Top: No top in sight!
According to Bitcoin Archive, the Pi Cycle Top indicator, which accurately signaled the peaks of the last 3 bull markets, is currently far from flashing a top.
In the previous two cycles, when the indicator showed similar conditions, BTC went on to grow 25x and 6.4x before hitting its peak.
If history rhymes, the current rally might still be in its early stages.

Arkham has uncovered the biggest crypto theft in history!
127,426 BTC ($3.5B in 2020, now ~$14.6B) stolen from Chinese mining pool LuBian
At its peak in 2020, LuBian controlled nearly 6% of Bitcoin’s hashrate. But in late December, hackers exploited a weak private key algorithm and drained the wallets:
▪️ Dec 28: Over 90% of BTC stolen
▪️ Dec 29: Another $6M in BTC & USDT taken via Bitcoin Omni
▪️ Dec 31: Remaining funds moved to cold storage
LuBian sent 1,516 OP_RETURN messages (costing 1.4 BTC) begging the hackers to return the funds — but neither side ever went public.
The stolen BTC remains untouched on a single address, now the 13th largest BTC wallet globally.

💡 ZachXBT reminds: every incoming call or email = potential scam.
Ironically, this theft happened exactly one year after the $243M Genesis Creditor hack.
