πŸ“Š February: Bitcoin’s Lucky Month? πŸš€

Historically, February has been one of the greenest months for BTC. To keep the streak alive and avoid marking only the third red February ever, Bitcoin needs to close above $102,500. πŸ“ˆπŸ₯Ί

Will the bulls step up, or is history about to get a rare red mark? πŸ€”πŸ”₯

Altseason is Here? 🧐

According to CryptoQuant CEO, altseason has begun! πŸš€

No direct BTC-to-alt rotation, but stablecoin holders are favoring alts. Alt volume is 2.7x BTC. BTC Dominance no longer defines alt seasonβ€”trading volume does.

It’s a very selective alt season tho. DYOR.


Is this really the altseason we’ve been waiting for? πŸ€”πŸ˜

βš–οΈ Ho was sentenced to nearly 10 years in jail, but not before ignoring court orders and blowing another $840K. ByBit managed to recover some funds, but millions remain missing. 🀷

πŸš€ Solana Leaves ETH & BTC in the Dust?

Solana now has 10x more daily active users than Ethereum and Bitcoin! The shift happened in January 2024 and is still holding strong. πŸ“ˆ

But before calling it a flippening, rememberβ€”the chart doesn’t account for Layer 2 networks. Is Solana truly dominating, or is there more to the story? πŸ€”πŸ”₯

πŸ’° Pig Butchering Scams Rake in $5.5B in 2024

According to Cyvers, this scheme is now the biggest threat to retail investors and platforms in early 2025. 🚨

🐷 Pig Butchering works by luring victims into fake investments, building trust, and encouraging bigger depositsβ€”only to vanish with the funds once the "pig" is fat enough. πŸ”ͺ

CryptoQuant CEO on the Bull Cycle πŸ‚

"This bull cycle would last until significant ETF outflows emerge. Prolonged net negative demand would signal the start of a bear cycle" - says CryptoQuant’s CEO.


Well… in the last 7 trading days, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $1.057B! 😬 Is the bear cycle knocking on the door, or just a temporary shakeout? πŸ»πŸ“‰

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβš‘οΈ Saylor: The US Must Buy 20% of Bitcoin Before China & Russia Do

Michael Saylor warns that digital economic dominance is at stakeβ€”and the US must secure 20% of Bitcoin’s supply before global rivals like China and Russia take the lead. πŸš€

"Bitcoin is the foundation of the 21st-century economy. If others buy first, they’ll lock the US out of the future financial order."

πŸ”₯ Arthur Hayes and Samson Mow Proposes Ethereum Rollback After Bybit Hack

πŸ—ž Arthur Hayes suggested rolling back Ethereum to the block before the $1.5B Bybit hack, arguing it would help both the exchange and hodlers. πŸ‘€

πŸ’¬ "ETH stopped being money after the 2016 DAO fork. If we already voted no on immutability then, why not do it again?"


He compares Ethereum to BNB, calling it "DeFi on CZ’s computer."

πŸ₯Έ Bitcoin maximalist Samson Mow supports the idea, claiming ETH rollback would prevent $1.4B from fueling North Korea’s nuclear program.

πŸš€ Proposed Plan:

1️⃣ Pause all ETH trading.
2️⃣ Pre-hack chain keeps the ETH ticker.
3️⃣ The hacked chain is renamed ETHNK (North Korean ETH).
4️⃣ ETH, ETHNK, and ETC continue separately.
5️⃣ ETHNK gets delisted from Coinbase immediately.

Will Ethereum devs consider this radical move? πŸ€”
