📉 When’s the peak already?! 👀
The S&P 500 rally is starting to look like the dot-com bubble 2.0 — the index is flying high mainly thanks to Nvidia and other big tech giants. Proof? It recently rose even on a day when 80% of its companies were in the red 🤯
If market cycles stay aligned, a major correction could hit in fall 2026, right around the U.S. midterms — and a full-blown AI bubble crash might come in fall 2027 😬
💣 That’s bad news for crypto too: Bitcoin keeps following the S&P instead of its 4-year rhythm, while altcoins mostly bleed (except a lucky few).
Meanwhile, Warren Buffett keeps waiting patiently — his cash pile has reached a record $382B. When the Oracle of Omaha hoards cash, you know something big’s coming 💵🤔

💀 Bitcoin has “died” 446 times — and still keeps rising from the grave
According to media and financial “experts,” BTC has been declared dead 446 times 😅
But here’s the twist: if you had invested just $100 every time they buried Bitcoin, your portfolio would now be worth around $115 million 💰
And what’s the conclusion? — The more obituaries, the stronger the resurrection ⚡️

Point of view: Why does crypto never build anything lasting? 🧐
The industry lives in an endless 18-month loop:
Narrative → Capital → Death. ☠️
NFTs in 2021, DeFi in 2022, AI agents in 2023–24, and now prediction markets — projects keep pivoting just to survive. Real infrastructure takes 3–5 years, but attention and funding vanish in months.
💸 VCs chase hype, not completion. They fund hot ideas, not finished products — because an unfinished one still has “infinite potential.” Pivoting has become a business model.
👨💻 Only Bitcoin and Ethereum were built outside this hype machine.
Today, whoever markets faster wins — even if the code is worse.
Crypto doesn’t reward builders. It rewards storytellers 📖

💸 FTX May Not Refund Users from 49 Jurisdictions FTX may block refunds to users from 49 regions, including Russia, Iran, and even North Korea (wait, there were legal users there, not just “Lazarus?” 🤔). 📊 A staggering 82% of affected claims come from Chinese…
⚖️ FTX backs off from plan to block payouts to “restricted” countries
The exchange has withdrawn its motion that would’ve denied withdrawals to users from China, Russia, Syria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and other “problematic” jurisdictions. 🧐
📄 Under the proposed rule, these countries would be labeled restricted, and creditors would have 45 days to object — otherwise, their claims would be erased and funds redistributed.
💥 After strong backlash from creditors — including 300 Chinese users who filed a lawsuit — FTX decided to drop the plan.
For once, it looks like the community pressure actually worked 🙌

Bitcoin is oversold again 👀
According to Santiment, BTC has entered another oversold zone amid its latest drop.
📉 Analysts note a growing divergence between Bitcoin and the S&P 500 — while the S&P fell only 1.6%, BTC’s decline was much sharper.
Historically, such decoupling often preceded crypto rebounds as traditional markets recovered…
But for now, with BTC below $100K, there’s still no sign of a bounce 😢

Now we’re seeing a small rebound to around $102K, but price action has stalled — suggesting it might just be a dead cat bounce 🐈⬛

Arthur Hayes: “The money printer is coming — and Bitcoin will moon” 🚀
In his new essay, Arthur Hayes predicts that the Fed will soon restart money printing, which will send BTC “to the moon.” 🌕
He warns of upcoming volatility due to a potential U.S. government shutdown, and says many traders still rely on outdated 4-year cycle models, causing them to sell too early. 🤷
According to Hayes, the next big move won’t follow the old playbook — it’ll rewrite it 💥

🧠 Crowd in Panic, Institutions Keep Buying — Bitwise Expects New BTC ATH
Bitcoin has once again dropped below $100K, and talk of a new “crypto winter” is spreading fast. But Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan believes the opposite — the market is close to its bottom.
📊 Key points from Bitwise’s CIO:
▪️Retail investors are in “max desperation” mode — panic selling, liquidations, and exits from the market.
▪️ Meanwhile, institutions keep accumulating BTC and investing in spot ETFs.
▪️Inflows to IBIT, FBTC, and GBTC remain positive, and the new Solana ETF (BSOL) raised $400M in its first week despite the market drop.
💬 Bitwise forecast:
🔸“We’re near the bottom — sellers are exhausted, buyers are holding.”
🔸A new Bitcoin ATH could come by year-end: realistic target — $125K–130K, optimistic — up to $150K.
Hougan insists: no crypto winter ahead — the next leg up is coming. 🚀

📊 Bitcoin demand hits new all-time high
🔎 According to CryptoQuant, buyer demand for BTC has surged to record levels — around 350,000 BTC were purchased in the past month.
📝 At the same time, Bloomberg reports that long-term holders sold roughly 400,000 BTC, sparking concerns among traders.
However, Glassnode explains this as a natural “redistribution” — older investors are selling coins to new market participants.
💡 Experts suggest the situation isn’t as alarming as it seems — the market may simply be rotating liquidity, not entering a new sell-off phase.
