Michael Saylor has built his reputation around the idea that companies should hold Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. On the other hand, Peter Schiff has spent years criticizing BTC and warning that it will eventually fail.
But this week, something surprising happened.
Saylor’s company, Strategy, announced that it bought another 2,486 BTC, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 717,131 BTC, valued at more than $54.5 billion.
With this, Strategy now controls about 3.4% of all the Bitcoin that will ever exist.
The latest purchase alone cost about $168.4 million, with Bitcoin bought at an average price of $67,710. But what’s even more surprising is? Schiff gave a rare, almost reluctant acknowledgment of the scale of this move.
Schiff turns praise into a warning
Responding to Saylor’s tweet, Schiff said, 
“Congratulations, you finally averaged your price down.”
Yet despite showing mild appreciation, Schiff has returned to warning against Saylor’s strategy. He has criticized Saylor’s habit of “averaging down,” which means buying more Bitcoin when prices fall.
In simple terms, he believes that if Bitcoin [BTC] keeps dropping, buying more could only increase overall losses.
MSTR and BTC price action and more
At the same time, Strategy’s stock and BTC are giving a concerning picture of the market.
As per Google Finance data, MSTR was trading around $128.67 and has fallen nearly 4% in the short term and close to 20% over the past month.
Bitcoin, too, was struggling, trading near $67,661 and falling about 26% over the last 30 days.
Another important signal comes from Open Interest. 
Earlier, Open Interest was very high, showing that many traders were using borrowed money and taking big risks. Now, both Bitcoin’s price and Open Interest are falling together.
This shows that risky traders are leaving and losses are forcing weaker players out. In simple words, the market is cooling down, and long-term, serious investors are slowly replacing short-term speculators.
MSTR’s Open Interest analysis
Meanwhile, MSTR’s options market suggested that many traders see $100 as a strong support level where buyers may step in, while heavy selling between $130 and $150 makes this range hard to cross. Some high-risk bets at $200 and $300 show that hope for a major Bitcoin-led rally is still alive.

As of press time, MSTR moved between $110 and $140, showing market uncertainty.
A clear move above $150 could lead to a fast rally, while a drop near $100 may attract buyers. Overall, Strategy remains caught between long-term confidence and serious financial risk.
Now, whether this bold approach succeeds will largely depend on whether Bitcoin regains strength or continues to decline.
Other firms and their Bitcoin strategy
While Strategy keeps buying more Bitcoin, its Japanese counterpart, Metaplanet, is under pressure. In its Q4 2025 earnings report, the company posted a huge net loss of $619 million.
Therefore, as 2026 moves forward, these firms won’t be judged by short-term profits, but by how well they handle sharp 20–30% price drops.
For now, their approach is to buy on dips, ignore market noise, and wait for the next cycle to turn losses into long-term gains.
Final Summary
Peter Schiff briefly acknowledged Saylor’s move but still believes “averaging down” could lead to bigger losses.Falling Open Interest suggests risky traders are leaving, and the market is shifting toward more serious, long-term players.

The gold-silver ratio gets treated like scripture. At 61-to-1, the argument writes itself: silver is historically cheap, gold is stretched, rotate accordingly. It's a clean story. It's also incomplete — and January's liquidation event exposed exactly where the logic breaks down.

Price ratios don't buy the dip for you. Institutional mandates do.

That's the real story of 2026. Not where prices are, but who is accumulating and why they have no reason to stop. Gold's demand structure has quietly transformed over the past three years into something traditional valuation frameworks weren't built to handle. Central bank buying — which surged after 2022 — is now the dominant structural force in the market. China's People's Bank has purchased gold for 15 consecutive months through January. Sovereign wealth funds, Indian pension funds, and Chinese insurers are all moving in the same direction. WisdomTree's head of commodities called it a regime shift, and that's not hyperbole. The old models simply don't price in a buyer who isn't chasing returns.

Silver has no equivalent. No central bank is building a silver reserve. J.P. Morgan's analysts said it plainly — sovereign institutions aren't moving beyond gold into other precious metals anytime soon. There's been some chatter about strategic critical mineral stockpiles that could theoretically include silver, but chatter isn't a bid.

That gap showed up in real time during January's correction. When gold fell 10%, central bank desks stepped in. The buying was structural — not opportunistic, not leveraged, not sentiment-driven. Gold climbed back above $5,000 and was printing fresh records by the second week of February.

Silver's bounce looked nothing like that. Short-covering did the heavy lifting. Bargain hunters filled in the rest. CME margin hikes after the selloff flushed out leveraged longs, and the metal hit $64 intraday before finding its footing — a round trip from $116 that left a lot of retail accounts in pieces. The recovery happened, but the conviction behind it was thin.

That divergence isn't going away. Gold has a structural tailwind: dollar weakness, geopolitical uncertainty heading into the midterms, and unresolved questions about Fed direction under Kevin Warsh. Silver will move with it — it always does — but with wider swings, shallower support, and fewer committed buyers on the other side of every dip.

Gold has earned its place in a portfolio. Silver can have a seat at the table too. Just make sure it's buckled in.

The crypto crowd has been asking the same question lately:
Why isn’t SHIB dropping harder despite weak market sentiment?
While many traders expected a deeper correction, market structure is showing something different. Behind the noise, several signals suggest that SHIB may be holding stronger than most people realize.
Let’s break it down.
📊 1. Support Levels Are Holding
One of the clearest bullish signs right now is price stability around key support zones.
Instead of aggressive sell-offs, SHIB is showing signs of seller exhaustion — meaning sellers are losing momentum. When price refuses to break down despite fear, it often signals strong underlying demand.
➡️ Translation: buyers are quietly absorbing pressure.
🐋 2. Accumulation by Large Holders
Market data and on-chain behavior often show that when price moves sideways, bigger players are active behind the scenes.
Whales typically accumulate during periods of uncertainty — not during hype.
Slow price movement
Reduced panic selling
Gradual volume build-up
These are classic signs of accumulation phases in crypto cycles.
💰 3. Less Selling Pressure
Another important factor is tokens moving away from exchanges.
When holders withdraw assets instead of keeping them on exchanges, it usually means:
Less immediate sell pressure
Long-term holding mindset
Reduced supply available for quick dumping
This doesn’t guarantee a pump — but it reduces downside pressure.
🔄 4. Meme Coin Rotation Is Back
Crypto markets move in cycles — and meme coins often rotate after major coins cool down.
As trading volume shifts, speculative capital starts looking for high-volatility assets again. SHIB historically performs when meme coin attention returns.
This rotation can create sudden momentum once sentiment flips.
📉 5. Consolidation Before Expansion?
Right now, the market feels slow — but seasoned traders know:
Compression phases often come before strong moves.
Current price action looks more like consolidation than collapse. Weak sentiment combined with stable price action can sometimes create the perfect setup for surprise volatility.
⚠️ Final Thought
SHIB isn’t showing classic panic signals right now. Instead, the market is displaying:
Support holding
Lower selling pressure
Accumulation behavior
Meme sector rotation potential
Of course, crypto remains risky, and no setup guarantees a move. But smart traders aren’t just watching price — they’re watching behavior.
And right now, SHIB’s behavior is telling an interesting story.
Are we watching the calm before the next SHIB move — or just a long consolidation? Drop your view below 👇

The world’s largest asset manager has unveiled plans to transform Ethereum’s staking rewards into a mainstream investment product.
In an updated SEC filing for its proposed iShares Staked Ethereum Trust, BlackRock explained the costs investors will pay for using its staking service. 
The proposed ETF will charge a 0.25% annual sponsor fee, but for the first year, this will be reduced to 0.12% on the first $2.5 billion in assets.
This discounted rate is meant to attract early investors and quickly build scale. However, this is only part of the cost. BlackRock will also take 18% of the staking rewards generated from Ethereum [ETH].
Unlike the sponsor fee, which applies to total assets, this staking fee comes directly from the rewards. When service provider costs are added, investors face a layered fee structure. They must calculate their actual net returns instead of relying solely on headline figures.
Other details of BlackRock’s Staked Ethereum ETF
Beyond pricing, BlackRock is also managing how much of its Ethereum will be staked, with the ETF planning to stake between 70% and 90% of its holdings.
This allocation is designed to balance income generation with operational flexibility. The staked portion earns rewards that gradually increase the fund’s Net Asset Value, while the remaining 10% to 30% stays unstaked to meet redemptions and cover expenses.
Since unstaking Ethereum can take days or even weeks, keeping some assets liquid helps avoid delays and liquidity stress during periods of heavy withdrawals.
Remarking on the same, an analyst noted,
“If approved, this bridges traditional capital with native crypto yield mechanics inside a compliant wrapper.”
Grayscale started this race
While BlackRock’s move is significant, Grayscale had set the precedent on the 6th of  October 2025. Its Ethereum Staking ETF became the first to distribute staking rewards directly to investors in cash.
Echoing similar sentiments, another X user added,
“GRAYSCALE BECOMES FIRST U.S. SPOT $ETH ETF ISSUER TO DISTRIBUTE STAKING REWARDS TO SHAREHOLDERS.”
In January 2026, the fund paid around $0.083 per share, totaling more than $9 million.
Interestingly, this competition is unfolding alongside renewed institutional interest in crypto assets. 
What’s happening with ETH at the moment?
Ethereum ETFs have recently attracted close to $50 million in daily inflows, with BlackRock’s ETHA and Grayscale’s funds leading the trend. 
This coincided with Ethereum trading at $2,018.32 after a hike of 2.29% in the past 24 hours, at press time. However, demand is still weak. Despite support from staking and ETF inflows, short-term trading remains unstable.
Nearly $3 billion in short positions and rising Open Interest show that many traders are using leverage, increasing the risk of a sharp move in either direction.
Therefore, if prices rise quickly, short sellers will be forced to exit, driving ETH toward $3,000. But if market liquidity tightens, buyers may get trapped, causing prices to fall again.
For now, Ethereum feels like a coiled spring. A big move is coming, and it will depend on whether real buying demand finally outweighs selling pressure.
Final Summary
Staking 70% to 90% of holdings shows BlackRock is prioritizing yield while still protecting liquidity for redemptions.Grayscale’s earlier payouts proved that staking ETFs can work, making competition in this space more intense.

Mastering Emotional Balance in Trading: A Key to Sustainable Success
In the fast-paced world of financial trading, it’s easy to get swept up in market volatility. The constant swings—both upward and downward—can take a toll on even the most seasoned traders. While strategies, technical analysis, and risk management are crucial, there’s another vital component that often goes overlooked: emotional balance.
As traders, we’re constantly navigating a landscape of uncertainty. Fear of loss, greed for profit, and the emotional highs and lows of each trade can cloud our judgment. It’s in these moments that our decisions can be impulsive—often leading to avoidable mistakes.
So, how do we cultivate balance amidst the chaos? First, establish a solid pre-trade routine. Begin each day with a brief mindfulness practice, breathing exercises, or even a short journaling session where you set intentions for the day. Second, create a structured trading plan, but stay flexible—allow yourself to adapt without being ruled by knee-jerk reactions. And third, take breaks. Step away from the screen, especially after a big win or loss—this pause will help you recalibrate.
Remember, trading success is not just about numbers or charts; it’s about mastering your own emotional landscape. With balanced discipline, you’ll not only navigate market storms, but build a resilient, long-term trading career.$BTC

XRP slipped a 7% gain past most people's radar last week, outperforming nearly every other top-10 cryptocurrency except Dogecoin. But beneath that relatively calm surface, conflicting signals across multiple timeframes are building toward what could be a decisive move in either direction.

The short-term picture carries some genuine warning signs. A head and shoulders pattern has formed on the 4-hour chart, with the neckline sitting near $1.44. A confirmed breakdown from that level implies roughly 16% downside based on the pattern's measured move. Reinforcing that concern, the Chaikin Money Flow indicator diverged from price between February 15 and 18 — XRP was attempting to recover off its lows while CMF was quietly deteriorating, eventually slipping below zero. That kind of divergence tends to suggest larger market participants are distributing into price strength rather than supporting it. In other words, someone was using the bounce as a selling opportunity.

The on-chain data from February 17, however, tells a sharply different story. Exchange balances had been climbing for over a week, with net positions trending positive and signaling growing sell pressure. Then the trend reversed violently — nearly 64 million XRP left exchanges in a single shift, more than six times the size of the previous outflow event recorded on February 6. That kind of abrupt reversal doesn't happen by accident, and it happened precisely when the short-term chart looked most vulnerable.

Whale activity corroborates the move. Wallets holding between one million and ten million XRP added approximately 20 million coins starting February 17, pushing that cohort's combined holdings from 3.76 billion to 3.78 billion. That accumulation represents roughly a third of the total exchange outflow, with the remainder likely absorbed by other large holders and institutional accounts operating outside visible wallet clusters.

What gives the bullish case real weight is what happened on the daily chart two days earlier. The Smart Money Index crossed above its signal line on February 15 — before the whale buying began and before the exchange outflow data confirmed the shift. That index tracks how experienced, longer-timeframe participants position themselves, and upward crossovers have historically preceded meaningful rallies. The last comparable crossover occurred on January 1, after which XRP climbed more than 30% over the following weeks.

The current sequence follows the same order: smart money signals first, whale accumulation follows days later, and exchange outflows confirm the conviction behind the move. When all three line up in sequence rather than simultaneously, it tends to suggest coordinated positioning rather than coincidental retail activity. Seen through that lens, the bearish CMF reading on the 4-hour chart may simply reflect short-term profit-taking or repositioning within a broader accumulation phase rather than genuine distribution.

Everything now hinges on the $1.42 to $1.44 zone. A clean break below it activates the head and shoulders target and opens up considerable downside risk. But if buyers hold that range while whale accumulation persists and exchange outflows continue, the daily smart money signal has room to play out much as it did in January. The resolution of this tug-of-war between timeframes will likely define where XRP trades for the remainder of the month.

As many retail investors begin to lose confidence, the United States Government is drawing attention for its massive Bitcoin holdings.
As of the 17th February, Bitcoin has fallen 1.4% in the past 24 hours and is trading near $67,996.
Over the past month, it has lost more than 28% of its value and has failed several times to rise above the key $70,000 level. This has made many investors nervous.
However, data from Arkham Intelligence shows something surprising. Despite the market panic, the U.S. government still holds about 328,372 BTC, worth around $22.5 billion. 
Remarking on which, Arkham noted, 
“The US Government is bullish on Bitcoin.”
What’s behind this shift?
Under U.S. President Donald Trump, the country has taken a more supportive approach.
The U.S. has started treating Bitcoin [BTC] as a strategic asset and has made plans to store its holdings in a permanent Digital Asset Stockpile.
Data from Bitbo shows that the U.S. now holds more Bitcoin than any other country, followed by China and Ukraine.
Meanwhile, according to Chainalysis, India ranked first in crypto adoption in 2025 for the third year in a row. This means millions of Indians are using crypto. However, the rules around it are still unclear.
This issue was recently discussed in the Rajya Sabha during the Union Budget 2026–27 debate. MP Raghav Chadha criticized the government for earning money from crypto users without giving them clear legal protection.
Thus, while India leads in user numbers, the U.S. is focusing on building strong institutions around crypto.
Institutional interests in Bitcoin also rise
At the same time, interest in Bitcoin ETFs is growing again.
On the 15th of February, ETFs recorded $15.1 million in inflows, pushing their total value close to $100 billion since launch. This shows that big investors are still confident in Bitcoin.
In simple terms, while prices may look weak today, the biggest players are thinking about tomorrow. 
However, it’s important to note that the excitement at the start of 2026 has now cooled down. A new report from CoinShares shows that crypto investment products have seen money leave the market for four weeks in a row.
Therefore, it is not yet clear whether this phase is just a short “crypto winter” or a necessary correction before the next rise. What is clear is that crypto is now a part of a serious global financial strategy.
Final Summary
Under President Donald Trump, the U.S. is shifting from doubt to a strategic approach toward Bitcoin.By holding billions in seized Bitcoin, the U.S. has quietly built one of the world’s largest digital asset reserves.

The meme coin that refuses to die — Dogecoin ($DOGE) — is still howling at the moon in 2026, and Binance remains one of the hottest spots to ride (or trade) the wave.
Picture this: a joke cryptocurrency born from a Shiba Inu meme in 2013 has somehow outlasted countless "serious" projects, survived multiple bear markets, and still commands a top-10 spot by market cap. Right now, as of mid-February 2026, DOGE hovers around $0.10 USD, with a market cap of roughly $17 billion and 24-hour trading volumes often exceeding $800–900 million. It's the ultimate underdog story — pun fully intended.
Why Dogecoin Still Captivates the Crypto World
Dogecoin isn't powered by groundbreaking tech like layer-1 scaling wars or DeFi revolutions. It's powered by community, vibes, and Elon Musk's legendary tweet finger.
Infinite supply with a purpose — Unlike Bitcoin's hard cap, DOGE adds about 5 billion new coins yearly via mining. This inflationary model keeps fees ultra-low and makes it ideal for tipping, micro-transactions, and everyday fun.
Elon factor — Musk has teased everything from literal moon missions to payments integration. In early 2026, he even hinted that SpaceX might "put DOGE on the moon" next year, reigniting classic hype.
Real-world utility creeping in — From charity drives to some merchants accepting it, plus occasional payment experiments on X (formerly Twitter), DOGE keeps proving it's more than just me
The price action in early 2026 has been classic DOGE: quick pumps (like a 47% February spike toward $0.117 before pullback), followed by consolidation around the $0.10 psychological level. Analysts are split — some see steady $0.12–$0.20 range trading, while bullish forecasts eye $0.30+ if broader crypto sentiment flips or major adoption hits.
Trading $DOGE on Binance: Fast, Liquid, and Feature-Packed
Binance is the go-to exchange for DOGE traders worldwide, offering unmatched liquidity and tools to catch every pump (or protect during dumps).
Here's what makes Binance stand out for $DOGE:
Spot trading — The classic DOGE/USDT pair is one of the most active on the platform. You can buy, sell, or HODL with tight spreads and high volume.
Futures & margin — Love leverage? DOGEUSDT perpetual contracts let you go long or short with up to high leverage (check current limits). Great for scalping volatility or hedging.
Wide fiat pairs — Beyond USDT, trade DOGE directly against EUR, BRL, TRY, INR, and many others — perfect for users avoiding stablecoin hops.
Earn features — Stake or earn yields on DOGE in certain flexible products (availability varies by region).
Low fees & speed — Binance's engine handles massive DOGE volume without breaking a swea
Whether you're a meme-coin degen chasing 2x pumps or a long-term believer in the "people's crypto," Binance gives you the tools to play.
The Road Ahead: Moon or Howl at the Wind?
Predictions for the rest of 2026 range wildly:
Conservative views peg year-end around $0.10–$0.16.
Optimistic takes (especially if Elon tweets big or crypto enters a new bull phase) see $0.30–$0.50+.
Wild cards like potential ETF approvals or deeper X integration could send it parabolic.
One thing's certain: Dogecoin doesn't follow the rules. It thrives on chaos, community, and unexpected catalysts.
So, ready to join the pack? Head to Binance, grab some $DOGE, and remember: to the moon... or at least to the next viral tweet. 🚀

From Unlimited Supply to Digital Scarcity 💎
The market is sleeping, but the data is screaming. In less than 30 days, Polkadot ($DOT ) undergoes its biggest economic transformation ever. If you're looking for the next big move, pay attention to the "Pi Day Reset."
Why the Hype is Real:
🔥 1. THE HARD CAP IS HERE
No more infinite printing. Referendum #1710 officially caps the total supply at 2.1 Billion DOT. We are moving from an unlimited asset to a scarce commodity.
📉 2. INFLATION CRASHING (March 14)
On "Pi Day," annual issuance drops by 52.6%. Inflation will plummet from ~7.5% to a mere 3.11%. This is a massive Supply Shock in the making!
⚡ 3. 500,000 TPS ENGINE (JAM)
With the JAM upgrade, Polkadot is no longer just a blockchain—it’s a multicore supercomputer. We are talking about potential speeds of 500k transactions per second. Infrastructure for the AI era is being built RIGHT NOW.
🌍 4. ETHEREUM COMPATIBILITY
Thanks to the Revive platform, Solidity developers can now deploy on DOT with zero friction. The gates are open for the next wave of DApps.
💰 5. THE ATH GAP ($55)
DOT is currently trading at a 97% discount from its All-Time High of $55. While the fundamentals have never been stronger, the price is sitting at historic lows. The disconnect is insane.
💡 THE BOTTOM LINE:
March 14, 2026, marks Polkadot's Independence Day from inflation. With a hard cap, 500k TPS technology, and an ATH of $55 to reclaim, the risk/reward ratio is off the charts.

Are you accumulating at these levels, or will you chase the pump at $10+? 🚀
