🔍 Around 25% of the total Bitcoin supply is currently sitting in the red, marking the highest level of unrealized losses since September 2024.
Back then, up to 30% of coins were underwater when Bitcoin was trading at around $54K.
Despite today's higher price levels, a significant portion of holders still face paper losses, underscoring the market's persistent volatility. 📊

🇨🇳 There's buzz online that China is selling off its massive U.S. Treasury bonds—worth around $760 billion (second only to Japan in holdings)—and buying Bitcoin instead! 🚀💰
While details are scarce and these claims remain unverified, such a move would signal a major shift in global financial strategy. 👀

💥 Bitcoin Mining Profitability Hits 2024 Low!
📉 The Bitcoin Hashprice Index has dropped to $42 per PH/s—its lowest since September 2024. Falling Bitcoin prices coupled with a nearly 7% jump in network difficulty on April 6 have squeezed mining profits by about one-third compared to the autumn period during the U.S. presidential elections, when they were above $60. 👀
As Bitcoin flirted below $75K on Monday and last night, some large mining companies are now nearing break-even, with costs ranging from $17 to $50 per PH/s in Q4 2024 (TheMinerMag). At $42, revenues for some miners, especially those with high electricity costs or outdated equipment, are already below their operational costs. 🧐
Remember, in 2021, hashprice peaked at over $3500 per PH/s per day. Today’s harsh reality might spark further consolidation in the mining industry.

😳 MicroStrategy May Need to Sell Their BTC
According to an SEC 8-K filing, if Bitcoin prices keep falling, MicroStrategy could be forced to sell some of its BTC to meet debt obligations. 👀
This move would break Saylor’s famous promise of "never selling Bitcoin." 🤷
While such a sale could have some unpleasant consequences, it's important to note that this risk disclosure is standard procedure. For now, there’s no need to panic—just another reminder of the volatile nature of crypto investments. Stay tuned for updates!

😬 A wallet linked to World Liberty Financial (WLFI) just locked in major losses — selling 5,471 ETH at $1,465 per coin.
📉 But that’s just the beginning…
They still hold 67,498 ETH bought at $3,259, sitting on a jaw-dropping $125M unrealized loss.
Guess that’s what happens when your financial advisor is... Eric Trump 🤷♂️

Bitcoin surged overnight to $83,500 after Donald Trump suspended additional tariffs for 90 days (for all countries except China). 🚀
In contrast, tariffs on China were raised to 125% in response to China increasing its own tariffs by 84%—a counter to the U.S. raising tariffs to 104%. 😁
In short, China now faces a 125% rate, while the rest of the world, including the EU, will have only the base tariff rate of 10% during the 90-day period. 🔥📈

🚨 Santiment Issues FOMO Warning
Following the US announcement of a 90-day tariff pause, trader sentiment has quickly turned bullish — and crypto is reacting. 🚀
A short-term rally may be in play as retail jumps in… but Santiment warns of extreme FOMO in the market. 👀
Experts caution: don’t get swept up by hype tied to temporary news — the tariff issue is still unresolved, and this could be a classic "kick the can down the road" moment.
Stay sharp. Don’t be exit liquidity. 😬

🤔 Just 4 hours before announcing a 90-day pause on tariffs (excluding China), Donald Trump called it a “great time to buy” — and it was.
📈 The Nasdaq saw its biggest intraday jump since 2008, and the U.S. stock market added $4 trillion in 10 minutes after the news.
Now people are wondering — was this all part of a master plan? If Trump crashed the market to buy low with his friends, only to pump it back up later… that would be some 4D chess 🧠♟
But what about those on the losing side of this game? 🤷♂️

😃 River sends $1,000,000 Zimbabwean notes to clients — as a reminder
Bitcoin company River is mailing out 1 million Zimbabwean dollar bills to its users — not for spending, but as a symbolic reminder of fiat currency inflation. 💵
Zimbabwe experienced one of the worst cases of hyperinflation in the 2000s, repeatedly redenominating its currency as zeros piled up faster than the government could print them.
River’s message? Bitcoin doesn’t need more zeros — it needs trust. 🤝

▪️An injunction to stop Sun from making similar claims
▪️A public retraction
▪️Damages for harming its business and contracts
Despite legal threats, Sun has doubled down, accusing First Digital of fraud and calling for regulatory reform in Hong Kong.

🚀 Cardano Founder Predicts $250K Bitcoin & Big Tech Embracing Stablecoins
Charles Hoskinson believes Bitcoin could skyrocket to $250,000 as early as this year, citing adoption growth, favorable regulation, and geopolitical shifts.
💰 The Magnificent 7 (Apple, Amazon, etc.) may start using stablecoins once key U.S. legislation passes — revolutionizing global payments.
He also expects the market to reignite in late summer, fueled by regulatory clarity and institutional momentum.
Long story short: crypto winter might be melting — but patience is key. 🌞📈

📉 Ethereum vs. Bitcoin: A Historical Comparison 👀
Since its inception in 2015, Ethereum has underperformed Bitcoin in 85% of its trading days. Despite its strong growth and innovation, Ethereum often lags behind Bitcoin in terms of market performance. 🤷
This highlights Bitcoin's position as the dominant cryptocurrency, with Ethereum often trailing in terms of price action, although it remains a strong contender in the broader blockchain and smart contract ecosystem.

The music didn’t last long — BTC has dipped below $79K after a brief rally.
The drop followed a statement from the White House that total tariffs on China now amount to 145%. This escalation in the U.S.-China trade tension is putting pressure on risk assets, including crypto. 👀
Markets remain highly reactive to geopolitical and macroeconomic shocks — stay cautious.
