Former Mark Karpelès says the real quantum threat to Bitcoin isn’t what most people think — and it’s not about mining.
$PIPPIN

After Elon Musk asked Grok about quantum computers cracking Bitcoin’s SHA-256, the AI estimated the risk below 10% by 2035. But Karpelès argues SHA-256 isn’t the weak point.
$SIREN

The vulnerable layer is ECDSA (secp256k1) — the signature system that protects wallets. A powerful fault-tolerant quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could theoretically derive private keys from exposed public keys, allowing attackers to forge signatures and steal funds.

The bigger issue? Migration.
$arc

Even if developers introduce post-quantum signatures via soft fork, every user would need to move coins to new quantum-safe addresses. That could take years — and 100% completion is practically impossible.

Early P2PK addresses and lost coins (including Satoshi-era holdings) are especially exposed because their public keys are already visible on-chain. Those coins can’t be manually upgraded.

Karpelès warns the network may eventually face a hard choice:
• Let quantum attackers claim vulnerable coins
• Or lock/burn them at protocol level

Either option challenges Bitcoin’s principles of immutability and property rights.

Bottom line: Quantum risk isn’t immediate — but the coordination problem could be the real nightmare.

Gold just reminded everyone why it’s the ultimate hedge. 🟡

Prices jumped over 1% to around $5,070 after softer U.S. GDP data showed the economy cooling more than expected (1.4% vs 3% forecast). At the same time, fresh tariff headlines from President Donald Trump added another layer of uncertainty, keeping volatility alive.
$POWER

Although inflation (PCE) came in slightly hotter at 0.4%, traders are still pricing in two Fed rate cuts this year. Slower growth + potential easing + policy uncertainty = strong support for gold.
$ALLO

Meanwhile, silver stole the spotlight, surging nearly 6% toward $83. Platinum and palladium also posted solid gains.

Safe-haven demand is clearly back in play. The question now: continuation breakout or short-term spike?

🇺🇸 Wall Street Closes Higher After Supreme Court Blocks Trump Tariffs

Markets rallied Friday after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs, giving investors a boost despite softer economic data.
$SXP

📈 Stocks:

Dow Jones +0.47% to 49,625

S&P 500 +0.69% to 6,909

Nasdaq +0.90% to 22,886

Europe’s STOXX 600 hit a record high

The ruling is seen as supportive for corporate earnings, though Trump quickly vowed a fresh 10% tariff — keeping trade uncertainty alive.

📊 Macro Snapshot:

Q4 GDP slowed sharply to 1.4%

Inflation (PCE) came in hotter than expected

Treasury yields edged higher

🟡 Gold surged near $5,100 as investors balanced weak growth, sticky inflation, and rising U.S.–Iran tensions.

💵 The dollar slipped after the ruling but is still on track for its strongest week since October.

₿ Crypto check:

Bitcoin +1.1% to $67.6K

Ethereum +1.0% to $1,969

🛢 Oil held steady, with traders watching geopolitical developments closely.
$XAU

Bottom line: Markets cheered the tariff decision, but slower growth and inflation pressures keep volatility in play.

Altcoin Liquidity Crunch: 83% of Tokens in Bear Trend

Altcoin market breadth on Binance has sharply deteriorated, signaling a deep liquidity squeeze across the sector.
$ACU

According to CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost, 83% of Binance-listed altcoins are now trading below their 50-week moving average — a key long-term trend indicator. Earlier this month, that figure briefly spiked above 92%, marking the weakest breadth since the 2023 bear market ended.
$ZRO

This isn’t just isolated weakness — it’s market-wide pressure.

In stronger phases, participation looked very different. In March 2024, only 6% of altcoins were below the 50-week line. In December 2024, it was just 7%. Today’s structure reflects tightening liquidity, expanding token supply, and reduced risk appetite.
$ESP

Bitcoin’s uncertain trend adds to the strain. After peaking near $126K in October 2025, BTC has struggled to regain clear momentum. With geopolitical tensions and a hawkish Fed backdrop, high-beta assets like altcoins are facing the most pressure.

When most tokens trade below the 50-week average:
• Rallies become narrow
• Capital rotation weakens
• “Alt season” narratives fade
• Selectivity becomes critical

Total crypto market cap (excluding BTC) now sits under key long-term support levels, reinforcing the broader defensive tone.

This isn’t just a price pullback — it’s a liquidity environment shift.

AI agents don’t have a payments problem — they have a trust problem.
$VITA

That’s why Ethereum’s new ERC-8004 “Trustless Agents” standard could be a real unlock for agent-driven commerce.
$FUN

For agents to operate in open markets, three things are required:
• Service discovery
• Verifiable identity & reputation
• Instant, programmable payments

ERC-8004 tackles the first two by creating onchain registries for identity, reputation, and validation — without forcing execution onchain. Agents stay offchain for performance, but anchor trust on Ethereum. That separation is key.

On the payments side, Coinbase’s x402 protocol enables API-level, pay-per-call stablecoin transactions inside normal web requests. No subscriptions. No accounts. Just machine-to-machine settlement. That’s exactly what AI workflows need.

Together, ERC-8004 + x402 start forming the rails for open agent markets:
• Agents discover each other permissionlessly
• Reputation becomes portable
• Payments settle per task
• Proof of payment strengthens trust over time

If AI agents are going to handle real economic activity, identity and settlement can’t live inside walled gardens.

Ethereum’s neutrality + composability make it a strong anchor for this emerging “Know Your Agent” economy.
$ETH

The next AI wave won’t be about smarter chatbots.
It will be about agents that can earn, spend, and transact autonomously.

The analyst who previously called the $200–$250 top on SOL is back with a fresh outlook — and it’s not all bullish (yet).

After Solana peaked near $295 and dropped hard, he believes the market is repeating its classic cycle: explosive expansion → deep correction → long consolidation → next rally.

Right now, $85 (0.382 Fib) is the key level.

If SOL holds and reclaims strength, recovery builds.

If it loses $85, he sees a potential drop toward the $50–$30 zone — marked as a major accumulation area.

Short term: Caution.
Mid 2026: Possible deeper correction.
Long term: Still bullish.

Targets after correction?
➡️ $500–$1,000 next cycle
➡️ Ultra-bull case: $9K+ by 2029

Volatility is part of the SOL story. Smart positioning > blind hype.

CZ responds to Senator Elizabeth Warren’s bailout warning with a clear message:

“Crypto never needed a bailout, never will.”

Warren recently urged the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve not to use taxpayer funds to rescue “crypto billionaires,” naming figures like Changpeng Zhao, Brian Armstrong, and Michael Saylor amid Bitcoin’s sharp pullback.

With Bitcoin down over 40% from its peak, bailout chatter has resurfaced — but industry leaders are pushing back hard.

Crypto was built for volatility, not government rescue.

Bitcoin Bottom? Not So Fast. 🧊

$BTC is hovering around $67.8K, deep in the $60K–$70K zone. Fear is extreme. Indicators scream “capitulation.”

But here’s the problem… where are the whales?

According to on-chain analyst Mignolet (via CryptoQuant), a real bottom isn’t just a sentiment reading — it’s aggressive absorption by dominant buyers. Right now, that visible bid is missing.

In 2024, big players stepped in through spot ETFs like BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity Investments’s FBTC, soaking up sell pressure. That institutional backstop helped stabilize dips.

This time? ETF accumulation momentum has cooled. The safety net looks thinner.

Another key point:
Everyone is watching the same on-chain dashboards. When “bottom signals” become too obvious, markets often do the opposite — or drag sideways longer than expected.

📌 Base case:
Not a V-shaped reversal. More likely choppy, volatile sideways action before any confirmed trend shift.

Bottoms are events, not emotions.

Stay patient. Watch liquidity. Let whales show their hand. 🐳

Global markets are closing the week on a firm note despite rising geopolitical tension.

European stocks, led by the STOXX Europe 600, extended gains for a fourth straight week, while S&P 500 futures edged higher. Investors continue to prioritize earnings strength and stable rate expectations over geopolitical noise.
$VVV

Meanwhile, oil is the standout mover. Brent Crude climbed to a 6½-month high above $72 as US-Iran tensions escalated after President Donald Trump issued a 10–15 day deadline on a nuclear deal. Supply disruption fears are back in focus.
$KITE

The US dollar is heading for its strongest weekly gain this year, supported by solid data and cautious Fed minutes. EUR/USD slipped toward 1.17, while USD/JPY pushed above 155.

👀 What to watch next:
• US GDP and core PCE inflation

Silver is testing a key breakout zone.

XAG/USD just pushed above $79, attempting to break out of a tightening triangle pattern that has capped price action for the past couple of weeks. Volatility was compressing — now the market is deciding direction.

🔹 Bullish scenario:
If price holds above $79 on strong daily closes, momentum could open the path toward $86 — a previous high where sellers stepped in before.

🔹 Bearish scenario:
Failure to sustain above $79 risks a pullback toward $76–$75 support. A deeper drop could expose $72.20.

Macro remains a driver. Ongoing geopolitical tensions and firm gold prices are supportive, but today’s US PCE inflation data could shift the tone. Softer data may weaken the dollar and fuel metals higher; hotter numbers could pressure silver.

📌 Breakout looks constructive — but confirmation and volume matter. Watch the daily close.

Gold is holding firm above the $5,000 level as rising geopolitical tensions fuel demand for safe-haven assets.

With the U.S. increasing its military presence in the Middle East and concerns growing over a possible strike on Iran, traders are rotating back into bullion. April futures in New York are hovering near $5,030, reflecting steady buying interest despite recent volatility.
$XAU

After January’s sharp pullback from record highs, gold has regained footing. While speculative flows triggered the correction, core support remains intact — geopolitics, diversification away from traditional assets, and uncertainty around U.S. monetary policy.

All eyes now turn to the upcoming U.S. PCE inflation data, the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge, which could set the tone for the next major move.

Safe-haven bid stays alive.

Oil is closing the week strong, up nearly 5%, as geopolitical tensions heat up between the U.S. and Iran.

$BIO

Brent is hovering near $71.6 while WTI trades around $65.9 — both near six-month highs.

Traders should expect volatility to stay elevated as headlines drive price action. Geopolitics is back in control of the oil market.
#write2earn🌐💹

WTI crude is showing early signs of exhaustion after stalling near the Jan 29 high at $66.48.
$RAVE

Price is struggling below the $66.74–$66.48 resistance zone, and the hourly RSI is flashing bearish divergence — suggesting momentum is fading. The sharp rally from $62 may need a cooldown, with a potential pullback toward $65.23 likely in the near term.
$MYX

That said, the broader daily trend remains constructive inside a rising channel. This points to a possible shallow correction rather than a full reversal.

🔹 Key levels to watch:
• Support: $65.23
• Resistance: $66.74
• Break above $67.14 opens room toward $67.68–$68.26
• Bigger-picture target: $69.39

Short-term dip, but trend structure still favors buyers unless key support breaks.

🟠 Crypto Market Update

Bitcoin and Ethereum are trading slightly higher but still stuck in a tight range as traders digest the latest signals from the Federal Reserve.

The Fed minutes showed policymakers remain divided on the future path of interest rates, keeping uncertainty elevated across risk assets. That cautious tone is clearly visible in crypto right now.

📌 Current Levels:

Bitcoin (BTC) around $66.6K

Ethereum (ETH) near $1,950

The next major catalyst is Friday’s U.S. PCE inflation data.

🔹 Hotter-than-expected inflation → Stronger dollar → Possible pressure on crypto
🔹 Softer inflation → Weaker dollar → Potential upside for BTC & ETH

For now, it’s a waiting game. Volatility could return quickly once inflation numbers hit.

If XRP Was a Scam, Would It Still Be Here?

The “XRP is a pyramid scheme” narrative is back again after a podcast debate — and honestly, it never really left.

Here’s the reality:

XRP was built for fast, low-cost cross-border payments. Transactions settle in seconds with tiny fees. That’s its core use case — not “get rich quick.”

The main criticism?
👉 Ripple periodically releases XRP from escrow and sells some into the market.
Critics say that creates constant sell pressure.
Supporters argue the sales are structured, transparent, and often tied to partnerships — not random dumping.

Important distinction:
A Ponzi promises guaranteed returns paid by new investors. XRP does not guarantee profits. Its price moves freely like any other crypto.

Another debate:
“Will governments ever use something tied to a private company?”

Fair question. But institutions often adopt existing infrastructure if it works better — they don’t always rebuild from scratch.

Also, XRP isn’t trying to be Bitcoin.
Bitcoin = decentralized store of value.
XRP = liquidity and settlement asset.

Different missions. Different designs.

So why does the scam rumor survive?

Because:
• Token supply concentration raises concerns
• Ripple’s role creates centralization debates
• Price hasn’t met long-term hype expectations

In crypto, strong emotions + uneven gains = persistent narratives.

Criticism is fair. Blind hate isn’t analysis.

What matters is this:
After regulatory battles, lawsuits, and multiple bear markets, XRP is still here — still traded globally — still used.

Markets eventually expose real scams. Survival doesn’t prove perfection… but it does prove resilience.

Do your own research. Always.

$RECALL

Strong U.S. factory output and solid housing data are reinforcing the “higher for longer” narrative. Markets are now watching upcoming PMI and GDP data for the next directional cue.

🔹 EUR/USD steady near 1.18 after volatility linked to speculation around Christine Lagarde potentially leaving the European Central Bank early.
🔹 USD/JPY near 155 as U.S.–Japan investment flows and rate divergence keep the pair volatile.
🔹 AUD/USD supported by strong jobs data.
🔹 NZD/USD stabilizing after a sharp drop on cautious central bank guidance.

With geopolitical tensions in the Middle East adding safe-haven demand and oil support, FX markets remain headline-driven.

Bottom line: Rate cuts aren’t imminent, dollar dips are being bought, and volatility is likely to stay elevated.
