📉 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.

📉 Ethereum Still Overvalued? Samson Mow Thinks So 🧐

Samson Mow revisited his August 2022 post, where he called Ethereum overvalued at $1,600 while Bitcoin traded at $21,500.

Fast forward to today — Bitcoin is at $81,700, but Mow still believes ETH remains overvalued at the same $1,600 level. 👀

His stance highlights ongoing skepticism from Bitcoin maxis toward Ethereum's valuation.

🎢 Bitcoin drops below $79,000 again

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.

📈 Bitcoin May Be Ready to Move

💰 Global M2 money supply — a key indicator of liquidity — began rising again 80 days ago. Historically, Bitcoin lags behind global M2 growth by 70–90 days.

⏳ If the pattern holds, we could be on the verge of a major move. Buckle up. 🚀

🐋 Bitcoin Whales Are Accumulating

🔍 According to Glassnode, whales holding 1,000–10,000 BTC have been increasing their balances faster than usual over the past 30 days.

📊 This accelerated accumulation hints at growing confidence from large players — often a bullish signal.

🇨🇳🔥 China Strikes Back in Tariff War

Starting April 12, China will hike tariffs on all US goods from 84% to 125% in direct response to Trump’s latest tariff increase. Beijing says it will ignore any further US levies, declaring there's no market left for US products under current rates.

Tensions are escalating fast — brace for more market volatility. 📉🌍

💰 Tron Dominates L1 Revenues

In the past year, Tron blockchain has generated a massive $2.6B in fees, accounting for 43.3% of all revenue among Layer 1 blockchains. 💵

Since November 2024, Tron has consistently collected $60M+ weekly in transaction fees.

📊 Satoshi Club summed it up best:
"This is what a healthy network looks like."

📉 Tariff Shock Hits Crypto and Stocks

Between the recent tariff shock and the announcement of a 90-day pause on new tariffs, Bitcoin dropped 11%, mirroring the pullback in US, European, and Asian stock indices. 📊

Meanwhile, Ethereum fell even harder — down 22.5%, showing higher volatility and sensitivity to macroeconomic shocks. 🤷

🚨 Malicious npm Campaign Hits Atomic & Exodus Wallets

🥷 Cybercriminals have launched a new npm-based supply chain attack using a fake package pdf-to-office. Once installed, it secretly patches Atomic and Exodus crypto wallets on victims’ devices, replacing destination wallet addresses with those of the attackers — hijacking all outgoing transactions.

🛠 The attack relies on malicious local patching, targeting specific versions of the wallets. Even removing the package doesn’t undo the damage — users must reinstall their wallets to stay safe.

🔍 The package was detected by ReversingLabs using ML-based tools. It’s part of a broader trend in sophisticated crypto-targeted supply chain attacks that are becoming harder to detect and remove.

🛡 Stay cautious: only install packages from trusted sources and monitor local app behavior.

🤖💸 “AI-powered” shopping app Nate turned out to be more HI—Human Intelligence—than artificial. 😂

Founder Albert Saniger claimed Nate could one-click-buy anything online using cutting-edge AI. Investors threw in $50M. But surprise! The “AI” was actually hundreds of real people in a Philippine call center manually placing orders.

Turns out the only thing artificially intelligent was the pitch. Now the DOJ’s involved, Nate is no more, and investors got rug-pulled by a very human touch. 🧠➡️🫱

If your “AI” app needs more coffee breaks than code, it might not be AI. ☕️😂

🔍 76% chance the Fed won’t touch interest rates on May 7 - Polymarket bettors say.

Jerome Powell seems set to keep rates steady — despite calls to cut from Donald Trump, Arthur Hayes, and other “economic DJs” spinning the same track: lower the rates! 🎧📉

Looks like the Fed is staying cool under pressure — no pivot (yet). Let the betting continue. 💼💸

📈 S&P 500 now wilder than Bitcoin?!

According to Bloomberg, the 10-day historical volatility of the S&P 500 has hit a whopping 76.8%, outpacing Bitcoin's 72.9%. Yes, you read that right — Wall Street's gone more degen than crypto. 🤯📉

ETF analyst Eric Balchunas called it “crazy,” noting normal levels are usually around 10–15%. The spike in volatility follows new trade tariffs from Trump’s team — proving once again that traditional markets can throw a bigger tantrum than BTC on a bad day.

🐋Since the beginning of March, wallets holding 1,000+ BTC have stacked up over 100,000 BTC — that’s a cool $8.3 billion in dip-buying. 💸

While retail watches nervously from the sidelines, the big fish are silently loading their bags. Looks like the “smart money” doesn’t mind a little market chill — they’re turning it into a fire sale. 🔥

🇺🇸 Binance wants back in the U.S. — and might bring Trump tokens with it 🐘💰

According to WSJ, Binance is chatting with the U.S. Treasury about loosening anti-money laundering oversight so it can return to the American market.

But wait — there’s more drama: Binance is also flirting with Trump’s crypto project, World Liberty Financial. If the deal goes through, it could pump out $USD1 stablecoins— potentially netting the Trump fam billions.

After the $4.3B fine in 2023, Binance sees a Trump alliance as a golden ticket to regulatory redemption. Apparently, they’re banking on support from the very top. 👀

📊 Over the past 30 days, Ethereum has processed a record-breaking $1.18 trillion in stablecoin transfers — the highest in its history!

This figure is nearly double the amount moved via Tron, Ethereum's closest competitor in this space. 💵

The surge highlights Ethereum’s dominant role in the stablecoin ecosystem, despite high fees and scalability challenges.

Its network remains the go-to platform for major stablecoin activity, reflecting strong trust and adoption. 💪

🚨 $OM, the token of Layer 1 RWA-focused blockchain MANTRA, plunged 90% in just 90 minutes on Sunday, triggering panic across the crypto community. 📉

The team claims the crash was caused by "reckless liquidations" from a major investor on a centralized exchange — not a rug pull or insider sell-off. 👀

Still, community trust is shaken as MANTRA’s Telegram group went offline and concerns resurface over token supply control and low TVL (~$13M vs. $9.5B FDV). 🧨

Amid accusations, co-founder Mullin insists the team is investigating and remains committed to recovery.

📍 Ethereum Foundation has unveiled a simplified roadmap focused on three core goals:

1️⃣ Scaling blobs
2️⃣ Scaling Layer 1
3️⃣ Improving UX (better L2 interoperability + easier dApp interaction)

These priorities aim to boost Ethereum's performance, scalability, and usability — with other advances like RWA, stablecoin dominance, and security expected to follow naturally. 🌐

Long-term vision? A future-proof, AI-friendly, privacy-first, open-source ecosystem that attracts the brightest minds. 🧠💡

⚖️ A 45-year-old Pennsylvania man made $12.3M reselling 97 CryptoPunks — but didn’t report a cent on his taxes, claiming he had no ties to crypto. 👀

Now the IRS is after him for $3.2M in unpaid taxes, and he’s facing up to 6 years in prison. 💸🧾

Crypto profits might be digital, but tax evasion is very real. 🤷
