Bitcoin has deviated from its historical correlation with the S&P 500 and gold (pink dot on the chart) 👀
PlanB, creator of the Stock-to-Flow model, notes that the last time this happened BTC was trading below $1,000 — and it was followed by a 10x rally. 🚀
⏳ Whether history repeats itself or not — time will tell.

😆 Trump’s fortune nearly tripled while in office
According to several US senators, including Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump’s net worth has almost tripled since he became president. 💰🚀
They argue that a significant part of this growth comes from crypto-related projects, some of which are allegedly funded by foreign governments. 👀
This, critics say, raises serious corruption and conflict-of-interest concerns.

📊 Bitcoin Mining Reality Check (2025)
📈 In 2025, Bitcoin mining difficulty surged by 35%, meaning miners now need significantly more computing power to produce the same number of blocks.
At the same time, the market value of mined BTC dropped by ~10% over the same period. 🤷
➡️ Result:
• Higher costs for miners
• Lower profitability
• Strong pressure on inefficient operations
This divergence highlights how mining is becoming tougher and more competitive, even when price isn’t keeping up. Only the most efficient players can survive in this environment. 👊

Hyperliquid stays on top of the perp DEX market 📊
While competitors fight for attention, Hyperliquid continues to dominate where it matters most — real trading activity. 💵
• Aster gained hype thanks to personal promotion from CZ 🤵♂️
• Lighter briefly led in volume, driven mainly by expectations of a future airdrop 🪂
• Hyperliquid, meanwhile, holds the highest open interest and generates the most fee revenue 💰
This clearly shows where traders are actually active, not just farming incentives 🤑
Hype brings users temporarily — liquidity and volume keep them long term.

🧑🎓 Zcash to $10,000? A bold academic case
📝 A member of the Zcash community has gone all in — literally writing a full dissertation titled “The Case for ZEC at $10,000”, arguing why Zcash could reach five digits (ZEC is ~$530 today).
🗝 Key arguments:
• Zcash and Bitcoin share the same fundamentals: 21M supply + PoW
• The critical difference is privacy
• Bitcoin is fully transparent — balances and transactions are public
• Zcash uses zk-SNARKs, allowing transactions to be verified without revealing sender, receiver, or amount
• Dual-address model:
– Transparent addresses (exchanges, compliance)
– Shielded addresses (full privacy) 🛡
This hybrid approach gives Zcash a regulatory edge, helping it stay listed where pure privacy coins like Monero get delisted. 🧐
📌 The thesis: privacy + compliance flexibility = long-term asymmetric upside.

Ethereum is back in demand 💪
In Q4 2025, the number of deployed smart contracts on Ethereum hit a new all-time high — 8.7 million 📈
🚀 This surge in activity likely follows the recent Fusaka upgrade and the rollout of PeerDAS, which significantly simplified development and improved network efficiency for builders.
More contracts = more real usage, not just hype. Looks like Ethereum is quietly regaining momentum on the fundamentals 👨💻⚙️

Bitcoin 2026: nobody knows, but everyone has an opinion 👀
🔎 Forecasts for BTC in 2026 are wildly split. Some analysts warn about a deep drop to $10k–25k, while the most bullish voices expect a rally to $150k–250k.
🏦 Most large banks and funds stick to a moderately bullish scenario, targeting $140k–180k.
😐 Others see a year of consolidation, weak momentum, or a market lacking new catalysts.
✔️ Bottom line: the huge spread in forecasts highlights how uncertain the outlook is. Bitcoin’s path in 2026 will largely depend on macro conditions, liquidity, and capital inflows — not on predictions alone.
