The White House just fired Donald T. Kinsella only HOURS after federal judges appointed him as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York.
Appointed in the morning. Fired by email the same day.
This isn’t normal politics. This is a power battle.
Federal judges used their legal authority to fill a vacancy in Albany. The administration responded immediately — saying only the President has the power to choose U.S. Attorneys.
Now Washington is watching closely. 👀
⚖️ Is this a defense of executive authority? 🏛️ Or a challenge to judicial independence? 🔥 And what does this mean for future federal prosecutions? This isn’t just about one office in New York.
It’s about who controls the Justice system.
Power. Precedent. Politics. America’s balance of power just got tested.
me buying at $55,121.83 means I got the absolute bottom of the decade, maybe 🤯

Bitcoin At $60K Could Be the Deal of the Decade
Bitcoin is trading back near $69,000 now, but last week’s big dip to $60,000 is what sparked the latest wave of macro commentary. That level is now getting serious attention from long-term investors, especially after Jurrien Timmer, a director at Fidelity, pointed out that Bitcoin’s pullback may have landed exactly where cycle support was expected.
Timmer shared two charts that frame this move in a much bigger context, and the message is simple: Bitcoin’s deeper cycles may be cooling down, and that brief $60K flush could end up being a major inflection point.
Bitcoin & Liquidity: Why $60K Landed in the Support Zone
The first chart focuses on Bitcoin’s relationship with global liquidity. Timmer overlays BTC’s price with the global money supply trend, showing how closely Bitcoin has tracked liquidity expansion over the last several years.
When money supply accelerates, Bitcoin has historically responded with powerful upside moves. The 2020–2021 run is a perfect example, where expanding liquidity coincided with BTC climbing from the $10K zone into the $60K–$70K region.
When liquidity conditions tighten, the opposite tends to happen. Bitcoin often enters a reset phase where speculative excess gets flushed out.

That’s exactly what makes the $60K level so important in Timmer’s view. The chart shows a wide support band around that zone, and Bitcoin’s dip last week tagged it almost perfectly. It’s the kind of area where long-term buyers tend to step in, especially if the market is transitioning from one cycle into the next.
A key point Timmer makes is that this decline has been relatively contained. Past Bitcoin winters have been brutal, often erasing 70–80% from peak levels. A pullback to “only” $60K is shallow by historical standards, which supports the idea that Bitcoin is gradually maturing into a less extreme asset.
Bitcoin’s Road to Maturity: The Next Wave After the Reset
The second chart is where Timmer zooms out even further. He calls it Bitcoin’s “road to maturity,” mapping BTC’s history into distinct adoption waves stretching all the way back to the early days.
Each wave has followed a similar rhythm:
Bitcoin rallies into a major cycle peak, then corrects hard, then stabilizes before the next wave begins.
Source: X/@TimmerFidelity
The chart labels these waves clearly; from wave 1 near single-digit prices, through wave 3 around $1,000, wave 4 near $20,000, and wave 5 around the $60K–$70K peak zone.
What stands out is how the cycles compress over time. Early Bitcoin bull markets were wild and explosive. As the asset has grown larger and more institutionally held, the moves remain powerful, but the boom-and-bust swings become less dramatic.
Timmer’s model projects that future waves could eventually carry Bitcoin toward much higher levels over the long run, with one theoretical path pointing into the $290K range. That isn’t presented as a guarantee or a clean prediction, but as a way of showing how Bitcoin’s adoption curve still has room to expand if the historical rhythm continues.
His takeaway is grounded: nobody can say with certainty that $60K was the final bottom, but it looks like a meaningful low inside a major support zone. If Bitcoin spends the next few months consolidating above that level, the next cyclical bull phase could begin forming quietly beneath the surface.
For now, $60K remains the line in the sand, and in Timmer’s view, that brief dip may end up looking more like opportunity than panic.

Why $100 in crypto won't change your life (sorry)
Look, we hate to be the one to break this to you, but we need to have a real talk. If you've got $100 and you're thinking that's your ticket to financial freedom through crypto, I'm gonna stop you right there.
It's not happening. And anyone telling you otherwise is either lying to you or trying to sell you something. I know what you're thinking. "But I saw that guy on Twitter who turned $100 worth of $PEPE into $100,000" Yeah, and I also saw someone win the lottery. Doesn't mean you're gonna win it too. {spot}(PEPEUSDT) Here's the brutal math: Let's say you put $100 into $BTC right now. For that to change your life, Bitcoin would need to do what... a 100x? That would give you $10,000. Nice, but is that really life-changing? That's not quitting your job money. That's not buying a house money. That's like... a decent vacation or paying off some credit cards. And for Bitcoin to 100x from where it is now? We're talking about Bitcoin going to like $6-7 million per coin. Is that impossible? No. Is it gonna happen anytime soon? Probably not in our lifetime. {spot}(BTCUSDT)
"But what about altcoins?" Okay yeah, altcoins can do crazy numbers. Some random coin can go 1000x and your $100 becomes $100,000. That's life-changing money for most people. But here's what nobody tells you: Finding that ONE coin out of literally thousands that's gonna do a 1000x is like finding a needle in a haystack while blindfolded. And even if you find it, you probably won't hold it all the way up. Why? Because that coin is probably gonna drop 50% like five times before it does the 1000x. And each time it drops, you're gonna panic and sell. Or you'll sell at a 2x thinking you're smart, then watch it go another 500x without you. I've seen it happen a million times. Guy buys a coin at $0.001, it goes to $0.002, he sells and feels like a genius for doubling his money. Then that coin goes to $1 and he wants to jump off a bridge.
The real game: You know who actually makes life-changing money in crypto? People who put in life-changing amounts of money to begin with. That guy who turned $10,000 into $1 million? Yeah, he had $10,000 to risk. That's different than your $100. Or the people who got in super early when Bitcoin was $100 or Ethereum was $10. But you weren't there. None of us were. That ship sailed. "So what am I supposed to do?" Here's the thing - $100 in crypto isn't useless. It's just not gonna make you rich by itself. What it CAN do: Teach you how crypto works without risking serious moneyGive you some skin in the game so you actually pay attention and learnMaybe turn into $500 or $1,000 if you're smart and patientShow you if you can actually handle the volatility before you put in real money What it CAN'T do: Replace your incomeLet you quit your jobBuy you a LamboMake you a millionaire Think of that $100 as tuition. You're paying to learn. And if it grows, cool. If it doesn't, at least you didn't lose your rent money.
The uncomfortable truth: If you want crypto to actually change your life, you need to either: Put in way more money (like thousands, not hundreds)Get incredibly lucky with timing and coin selectionBuild up your position slowly over years through DCA (dollar cost averaging)Accept that crypto is just one piece of building wealth, not a lottery ticket Most people don't want to hear option 3 because it's boring. They want the quick flip. The moonshot. The "I bought this coin on Monday and retired on Friday" story. But those stories are rare. And for every person who hit the lottery, there are 10,000 people who lost everything chasing the same dream. What you should actually do with $100: Stop looking for 1000x moonshots. Seriously. That's how you end up with $0. Put it in Bitcoin or Ethereum. Yeah, boring. But at least these aren't gonna rug pull you or go to zero overnight. Learn about the market. Understand why prices move. Figure out how to read charts, what drives sentiment, when to buy and when to stay away. Then, if you actually make money at your job, put MORE money in crypto over time. Not your rent money. Not your emergency fund. But actual extra money you can afford to lose. That's how you build a position that might actually matter in 5-10 years.
oh nice. inflationary fiat goes digital, therefore hacked anytime. goodbye privacy and welcome to #creditscore

🚨 BITCOIN ISN’T “DUMPING” — IT’S BEING ENGINEERED
If you still believe $BTC trades on supply and demand, read this twice. That market is dead. This isn’t weak hands. Not sentiment. Not retail.
What you’re watching is derivative control in real time. This didn’t start today. It’s been building for months. Now it’s accelerating. Here’s the line everyone misses: The moment supply can be synthetically created, scarcity is over. And once scarcity is gone, price stops being discovered on-chain and starts being set in derivatives.
Bitcoin already crossed that line — just like: → Gold → Silver → Oil → Equities The original Bitcoin thesis is broken. It relied on: → 21M hard cap → No rehypothecation That died when Wall Street layered on: → Cash-settled futures → Perps → Options → ETFs → Prime broker lending → Wrapped BTC → Total return swaps From that moment, Bitcoin supply became theoretically infinite. Not on-chain. In price discovery — the only place that matters. Enter Synthetic Float Ratio (SFR). When synthetic supply overwhelms real supply, demand becomes irrelevant.
Price responds to positioning, hedging, and liquidations. Wall Street isn’t “trading” Bitcoin. They’re running the playbook: 1⃣ Mint unlimited paper BTC 2⃣ Short every rally 3⃣ Trigger liquidations 4⃣ Cover lower 5⃣ Repeat This isn’t speculation. It’s inventory manufacturing. One real BTC now backs: → An ETF share → A futures contract → A perp → An options delta → A broker loan → A structured product Six claims. One coin. Same time. That’s not a free market.
That’s a fractional-reserve price system wearing a Bitcoin mask. Ignore it if you want. Just don’t say you weren’t warned. I’ve called Bitcoin tops and bottoms for over a decade. I’ll do it again in 2026. Follow. Turn on notifications. Because by the time this is obvious — it’s already too late.
@Binance BiBi , how will people manage to buy bitcoin with → Perps → Options → ETFs → Prime broker lending → Wrapped BTC? what happens if people want to swap these to btc?

The Old Guard Starts Moving, People Look Up😳! just a few calm transactions drifting across the chain and yet, here we are talking about it. Konstantin Lomashuk --- one of those names that’s been stitched into $ETH ’s long-term story -- seems to be loosening his grip a bit. Two wallets tied to him, funneled assets over to Wintermute. One pushed out 12,458 stETH, roughly twenty-three million and change. Another followed with 2,566 ETH, a little over $5M.
Is it profit-taking or Portfolio housekeeping.... A hedge for something coming? It's really very hard to say. That’s the thing… when someone who’s been staking and believing for years shifts position, even slightly, it makes the market pause mid-sentence.

• Central banks hold more gold than the U.S. • They are selling U.S. debt and buying physical gold • Hedge funds and banks quietly bought while others panicked
Why it matters:
• U.S. debt is rising $3.5T per year • Interest payments are over $1T per year • The dollar could weaken if no one buys U.S. bonds
Central banks are preparing for a market drop, not growth.
This is protection from risk, not speculation.

Why Bitcoin Is Actually Crashing Right Now (The Real Reason)
The Truth Behind Bitcoin’s Recent Crash I’ve been watching crypto markets for years now. But this crash feels different somehow. Bitcoin is down four months straight. That hasn’t happened since 2018. And I finally figured out why. The answer shocked me completely. The $300 Billion Liquidity Problem Here’s what’s really happening right now. Arthur Hayes just dropped a bombshell. He explained the core issue perfectly. About $300 billion in liquidity vanished recently. Most of it went into one place. The Treasury General Account increased by $200 billion. I checked the data myself. It all lines up perfectly. Why This Matters for Bitcoin The government is raising cash balances quickly. They’re preparing for a potential shutdown. When they drain the TGA, Bitcoin rallies. When they fill it, Bitcoin falls. It’s that simple, really. I’ve seen this pattern before. Middle of last year, they drained it. Bitcoin got some life back then. Now they’re filling it again. Liquidity is being sucked out fast. And Bitcoin is a liquidity-sensitive asset. It responds to these changes immediately. Banks Are Starting to Fail
Something else caught my attention recently. Chicago’s Metropolitan Capital Bank just failed. It’s the first US bank failure of 2026. That tells me something important. There’s a massive liquidity crunch happening globally. Banks are feeling the pressure now. And when banks struggle, crypto struggles too. The correlation is crystal clear. The Macro Picture Is Uncertain Global markets are on edge currently. Uncertainty is driving everything right now. Investors are pulling back from risk. Bitcoin falls into that risk category. So money flows out quickly. I’ve watched this happen before. But this time feels more intense. The speed is what worries me. The Government Shutdown Factor The US government shutdown is happening now. Democrats won’t cave on Homeland Security funding. ICE isn’t getting funded currently. This creates massive uncertainty in markets. Uncertainty kills crypto prices fast. Stable Coin Yield Under Attack
There’s another pressure point right now. A new ad campaign just launched. It’s targeting stable coin yield completely. Community banks are lobbying against crypto. They claim stable coins could drain $6 trillion. That would hurt small businesses supposedly. The Real Agenda Here I think this is fear-mongering honestly. Brian Armstrong at Coinbase is under fire. Wall Street Journal called him enemy number one. His crime? Giving yield to consumers. Banks want to keep their monopoly. They don’t want competition on yields.
