💥 Peter Todd: "I'm not Satoshi, but now I'm forced to hide..."
After the release of HBO's documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, Peter Todd was 'identified' as the creator of Bitcoin. Now, the programmer is busy denying the rumors and even going into hiding! 🕵️♂️
"I'm not Satoshi! Hoback just wanted to boost his movie's ratings," Todd said. But the director is convinced he's "caught" him, claiming Todd's facial expressions and body language gave him away. 🤨
Since the documentary aired, Peter has been flooded with requests for money and even threats! Apparently, being a fake Satoshi comes with more than just fame—it brings a lot of headaches, too.
Moral of the story: being a cryptographer isn't for the faint of heart! 😅

🐋 Whale Alert on Binance!
As Bitcoin's price drops below $66,000, analysts at Lookonchain have tracked some big BTC moves. One whale decided to "lighten the load" and deposited a whopping 4,860 BTC (worth $327M) on Binance over the last 7 days! 😳
Today alone, the whale moved 850 BTC, valued at $56.3M. It looks like this "beast" is stirring up the market volatility! 🤷

🚀 Bernstein’s $200K Bitcoin Price Prediction is 'Conservative' for 2025!
Bernstein analysts are setting the bar high (or low? 🤔) for Bitcoin, predicting a conservative price of $200,000 by the end of 2025!
They urge skeptics to reconsider Bitcoin as a store of value, especially with the U.S. debt hitting a staggering $35 trillion and inflation threats looming. 💸
“If you like gold, you should love Bitcoin even more,” says Bernstein's Gautam Chhugani, adding that Bitcoin’s limited supply could be a major hedge in this uncertain world. 🌍💰
For those hesitant about buying BTC directly, they suggest alternatives like shares in MicroStrategy, Riot Platforms, and CleanSpark.

🐋 The number of Bitcoin whales has reached its highest level since January 2021 — there are currently 1,678 wallets holding over 1,000 BTC.
But even if a wallet holds less than 1,000 BTC, these are still significant amounts closely watched by the community. For instance, yesterday, another ancient wallet with 150 BTC ($10,000,000) woke up and transferred all its coins after 13 years of inactivity [link here]. Back in 2011, these BTC were worth just $2,500.
And today, it was reported that a Bitcoin wallet containing 50 BTC ($3.4 million) moved all its coins after 14 years of dormancy [link here]. In 2010, these BTC were worth only $2.🧐
🚖Tesla also recently transferred all its Bitcoin assets to new wallets without selling, as revealed in its latest quarterly reports [see report] — this marks the fifth consecutive quarter the company has held onto its crypto. According to Arkham, 11,509 BTC, valued at $774 million, now sit in new wallets following recent transfers. 💰

🔮 Altcoin Season: Coming Soon Once Bitcoin Hits $80K?
Analysts at Hashkey Capital are eyeing $80,000 as the magic Bitcoin price to unlock the next “altseason.” They believe a mere 18% BTC pump from its current $67K could flip the switch! 🟢
Bitcoin dominance also plays a role, with a target range of 62-70% dominance before altcoins take off. BTC dominance is now sitting around 59%, inching closer to those key levels. 🚀

💰 Hackers Swipe $20M from U.S. Government Wallet?
On October 24, analysts at Arkham Intelligence detected suspicious transactions from a U.S. government-linked crypto wallet that previously held funds seized from Bitfinex hackers. It appears that someone moved around $20 million in assets from the wallet:
- 13.6M aUSDC
- 5.44M USDC
- 1.12M USDT
- 177,892 ETH
While $13.1M remains in the wallet, some assets have already been transferred to other addresses and seem to be exchanged for ETH.
Arkham suspects the hacker has begun laundering funds through addresses linked to crypto “cleaning” services. On-chain detective ZachXBT also identified two more hacker addresses holding $5.4M and $1.36M, respectively.

🇰🇷 South Korea Tightens the Reins on Cross-Border Crypto Transactions!
South Korea’s cracking down on crypto-related foreign exchange crime with new rules for businesses handling cross-border transactions. Any entity involved in transferring stablecoins and other cryptocurrencies across borders must register and report monthly transactions to the Bank of Korea 📊.
📝 The collected data will be monitored by several regulatory bodies to target illegal activities like arbitrage and money laundering—crimes tied to nearly 88% of the $1.2 billion in foreign exchange violations involving crypto.
Expect these rules to officially kick in during the second half of 2025! 🧐

📈 Bitcoin at $100K by February? "Completely Reasonable," says Analyst!
Bitcoin's next move could be a leap to six figures within the next three months, according to network economist Timothy Peterson, who claims BTC is in the early stages of a bull run. 🚀
Peterson points to Bitcoin's eight-month consolidation as a setup for an imminent breakout. Despite earlier predictions of diminishing returns, he sees BTC following past cycles closely, predicting $100K as a “completely within reason” target by February. 👍

The hacker sent back $19.3 million worth of crypto to U.S. government wallets 🧐
Looks like he either got tracked down fast or decided to play it safe and make amends. 🤷

Tether vs. The Wall Street Journal!
👀 Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal claimed the U.S. is investigating Tether over sanctions violations and money laundering concerns.
Tether’s CTO Paolo Ardoino quickly responded, denying any signs of an investigation, and noted he had informed WSJ reporters of this earlier. 🤷
📝 On their website, Tether published a statement calling WSJ’s reporting “irresponsible,” accusing them of basing their claims on rumors from unnamed sources. Tether also pointed out that the article ignored their track record of collaboration with law enforcement and freezing criminal wallets.

🚀 While the market was hit by Tether FUD and Bitcoin briefly dropped to $65,500, over in Lugano, Switzerland, there was no time for gloom: they sent a symbolic Bitcoin rocket… made of drones, straight to the Moon! ✨
Looks like Lugano has decided that if the price won’t take Bitcoin to new heights, the drones surely will! 😃📈

😱 The well-known trader James Fickel "took a loan" on Aave and lost $55 million in a single trade. Now he’s not only "in the red," but also owes 980 WBTC (almost $132 million)! 💸
📉 When it feels like your futures trade is going south, just remember James and take a deep breath. Maybe his story will save you from rash decisions? 😳
💬 Do you still think taking a loan for trading is a good idea?

📈 This weekend, $BTC’s dominance hit a fresh high of 59.75%, while ETH/BTC fell to April 2021 levels at 0.03625.
📊 Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has surged 1.5x, smashing through ATH in March, while many alts have slipped back to last year’s levels—or lower. Rumor has it, the days of altseason are over, with the spotlight now on Bitcoin, held by big funds with even bigger wallets. 👀
🤔 So, is this a paradigm shift, or do we just need to be a little more patient?
🔥 "Just wait, altseason is around the corner."
👍 "Classic altseason is over; meme coins had their day."
😂 "I’m tired of waiting—heading to OnlyFans, the real goldmine!"

Ethereum Eyes $6K Despite October Slump! 🚀
Ethereum's price has dropped 5.4% since the start of the month, but several indicators suggest it’s gearing up for a rebound to $6,000, according to Cointelegraph analyst Yashu Gola.
ETH might be closing its first losing October since 2018, driven by rising competition from platforms like Solana and weak market response to ETH spot ETFs. Still, Ethereum is holding above the critical $2,400 support level.
What could push ETH to $6K?
1️⃣ Strong Support — previous rebounds from this level saw gains of up to 160%.
2️⃣ Institutional Moves — a $1.3B ETH withdrawal from Coinbase hints at long-term interest.
3️⃣ Capital Rotation — Solana may have “overheated,” positioning ETH to lead an altseason.
Will ETH reach $6K by 2025? All signs point to a potential lift-off! 🌕
