🔮 Co-founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales does not believe in "the death of Bitcoin": according to him, the network is quite resilient and will survive even a 51% attack — through a fork, it will simply continue to live.

But he does not believe in its role as the money of the future. His prediction is harsh: by 2050, BTC could be worth less than $10,000 in today's prices — and possibly much lower.

🖥 The largest public US miner MARA Holdings reported a loss of $1.7 billion for Q4 2025 — compared to a profit of $528 million a year earlier.

The main impact came from the revaluation of Bitcoin reserves amid the falling exchange rate; while hashrate grew to 66.4 EH/s, mining decreased, and the cost of electricity per BTC increased to $48,611.

Despite the weak report, shares rose by more than 15% after the announcement of the launch of a joint AI project with Starwood Capital Group for the construction of data centers with a capacity of up to 2.5 GW.

🎲 Today, on Polymarket, an incredibly lucky trader surfaced: the account went "all-in" on markets with the outcome "US will strike Iran before March 1" — and hit the deadline exactly.

The bet closed literally a day before the attack, so the odds were astronomical — and someone's inside information (or incredible luck) turned into a very large profit.

🤣 A Slovak developer shoved a 66 KB image directly into a Bitcoin transaction — without Taproot, without OP_RETURN, and without all the "restrictions" that BIP-110 proposes.

Inside is a TIFF with a crying Luke Dash Jr. (one of the main proponents of BIP-110) and subtle trolling of the idea of fighting "spam" at the consensus level.

The experiment showed a simple thing: if someone wants to write something to the blockchain, they will find a way — a soft fork is not a panacea.
