Crypto soothsayer
✍️ Vitalik Buterin Proposes Simpler Ethereum Layer 1 Vitalik Buterin has shared a 5-year plan to simplify Ethereum’s Layer 1 by drawing inspiration from Bitcoin’s minimalism. His key goal: make Ethereum’s core leaner and more resilient, with a cap on total…
🧵 Ethereum is a “stillborn project,” says Max Keiser
Bitcoin maxi Max Keiser is at it again — this time calling Ethereum useless and inefficient. 👀
His rant comes in response to Vitalik Buterin’s recent vision to simplify Ethereum’s core and make it more like Bitcoin. But for Keiser, no amount of tweaking can fix what he sees as a fundamentally flawed project.
🔥 “Ethereum was dead on arrival,” he claims.
👑 Bitcoin maxis aren’t buying any ETH reforms — their faith lies in BTC alone.

🇺🇸 Bitwise: Crypto Needs Congress — or Faces a Rough Summer
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan warns that if Congress fails to pass key crypto bills, the industry may face a turbulent summer — despite White House support under Trump. 🤔
🪙 A stablecoin bill (GENIUS Act) had bipartisan momentum but suddenly lost key Democratic backing, possibly due to political tensions around Trump.
📉 Without legal safeguards, recent crypto progress risks being reversed by future administrations.
💬 Hougan: “Crypto needs Congress to enshrine progress in law — or risk stalling the bull market.”
📈 Still, he’s bullish long-term — if Washington acts, he sees BTC over $200K in 2025.

🇬🇧 UK Says “No Thanks” to National Crypto Reserve
Economic Secretary Emma Reynolds ruled out the idea of the UK stockpiling Bitcoin like the U.S., saying it’s "not appropriate for our market."
💬 While the UK isn’t planning a national digital asset reserve, it's strengthening ties with the U.S. through a new senior-level crypto regulatory working group.
📊 Instead of following the EU’s MiCA framework, the UK is exploring its own outcome-focused crypto rules and may issue sovereign debt via blockchain by late summer.
🔗 Collaboration, not imitation — that's the UK's current crypto stance.

🇺🇸 Stablecoins May Become Top Buyers of U.S. Treasuries
As U.S. lawmakers rush to regulate stablecoins, analysts predict a major shift in the Treasury market: stablecoin issuers could outpace China and Japan as top buyers of U.S. government debt. With Treasuries seen as the safest backing for digital dollars, demand could surge by $1T+ as the stablecoin market grows toward $2T. 💰
💵 Giants like Tether and Circle already hold $150B in Treasuries. With regulation, even banks like BofA and platforms like Visa are eyeing the space.
⚠️ But risks remain: runs on stablecoins could force mass Treasury sell-offs, potentially destabilizing markets.
Is this a new golden age for the U.S. dollar—or a fragile financial experiment?

📈 141 Days Since Bitcoin's ATH – What’s Next?
It’s been 141 days since Bitcoin hit its last all-time high. Historically, it takes around 211 days on average to reach a new ATH — meaning we could be just 70 days away from the next one if the pattern holds. ⏳
But some are more optimistic: CryptoQuant analyst Alex Adler believes Bitcoin might break its record even sooner. Stay sharp — the next leg up could be closer than expected! 🚀
