In a recent missive to the digital masses upon the electronic Mount Sinai, Matt Hougan, that Cassandra of the crypto-sphere, dared to question the prevailing orthodoxy. “What if,” he whispered into the void, “this so-called ‘commodity’ of Layer 1 blockspace is but a chimera, a mirage born of excess capacity and the hubris of men who mistake abundance for eternity?”

In a statement posted to X, Bitdeer confirmed their BTC balance is now a glorious zero-pure, unadulterated nothingness. They mined 189.8 BTC this week and sold it all, because hoarding crypto like a sensible, long-term thinker is clearly overrated. The company’s “Net BTC Added” figure of -943.1 BTC suggests they’re now financing their mining rigs with existential dread.

Binance, a major cryptocurrency exchange, has published a comprehensive report explaining how it works to follow global rules and prevent illegal activity, after some news outlets raised concerns about its efforts to manage risks related to sanctions.

At the zenith of optimism, MYX bulls managed to catapult the price to a dizzying height of $1.81. A local bottom was established at $0.80, like a weary traveler finding a bench at a bus station, only to find it’s the wrong stop, and they must soon depart again.

SOL’s recent decline is the crypto equivalent of a fashion faux pas-no one saw it coming, and now it’s stuck in a TikTok trend. It fell below $90 and $85 like I fall asleep during a rom-com. Bitcoin and Ethereum are like, “Hey, let’s all have a pity party!”

Enter STRC, the knight in shining armor (or is it a wolf in sheep’s clothing?). This high-yielding preferred stock is like a magnet for cash-starved institutions, promising 11.25% returns while holding a tidy sum of Bitcoin and cash reserves. It’s the financial equivalent of a two-for-one deal at a circus-except the clowns are Wall Street suits.

XRP, that once-bright star, now meanders like a drunkard in a fog, refusing to fall further. Its price, a wretched thing, clings to a support zone, as if begging the market for mercy. The double bottom-oh, what a farce! A mere echo of past lows, a ghost that dares to dance again. Traders, those poor souls, scavenge for signs of hope, yet their hearts are heavy with the knowledge that sellers still hold the whip.

Openclaw, an open-source AI agent framework helmed by the illustrious Peter Steinberger, has drawn a line in the digital sand, forbidding the utterance of cryptocurrency-including, in a masterstroke of pedantry, even neutral mentions of bitcoin-in its Discord realm.
