I would like to see a scenario like this: 📈 Bounce $BTC to ~100-110 thousand. 🧠 Formation of "head and shoulders" 🐻 Dive into a bear market 💤 Bottom of the bear — around $50,000 in autumn 2026 🌅 Then — recovery and new highs in 2–3 years
This is not a call to action, not financial advice — but merely the imagination of one of millions of investors.
Bear market 2026 results 🤯. And this is not a complete list 👇

🪙 Infinite Bitcoins | A Bitcoin Vulnerability from 2018
Let’s continue breaking down interesting #facts from the world of crypto 👇
In 2018, an error was found that made it possible to create an unlimited number of $BTC
📆 In September 2018, one member of the community noticed a suspicious bug in the Bitcoin Core code (the main program that almost all nodes on the network run)
At first, they thought it was just a mistake that would cause the node to “crash” (a DoS bug) if you sent a “broken” transaction. But it turned out to be much more serious:
> it was possible to create a transaction where the same bitcoin was spent twice in a single block; > and if the transaction made it into a block, the network would treat it as normal, and as a result, new coins would appear in the blockchain above the limit of 21 million
💭 And all because in 2017 the developers rewrote part of the code to make transaction verification faster. In one place, they accidentally removed an important line that checks whether there are duplicate inputs in transactions
The good news: over the entire year, no one managed to take advantage of the bug. The error was discovered and fixed. The developers released an update to Bitcoin Core 0.16.3 in just 24 hours, and the story ended well 🥳
🔥 Michael Saylor will burn his $BTC after death ⁉️
The Strategy founder said that after his death, he plans not to pass his personal $BTC on to his heirs, but to ensure that access to them is permanently lost 💀
This involves at least 17,732 of his personal $BTC. That’s the amount last publicly confirmed. At the current exchange rate, it’s about $2 billion.
Saylor’s logic is simple: he called it “pro rata contribution.” Every bitcoin permanently lost makes the remaining coins even more scarce.
💡 In one of the interviews (March 2025), he said he could burn the keys while still alive, not strictly “after death”
If Saylor truly carries out his promise, it could become one of the largest voluntary “burns” of wealth in crypto market history
Online, people have noticed a very strange pattern 🔍
Wallets from 2010, each holding 50 $BTC, sat quietly for 9 years—then starting in 2019, they began to wake up one by one and start draining coins in portions:
💰 $5 million 💰 $6–8 million 💰 $11–13 million 💰 $176 million in November 2024
BTCparser analysts have a theory claiming that this is Satoshi.
The logic is simple: why touch the main wallets from 2009 if you can spend the “second tier” of coins and avoid drawing attention? 🤔
But what’s actually happening is unknown.
Satoshi still holds ~1.1 million $BTC that have never moved even once in 15+ years 🔒
What do you think? 👇 Subscribe—this is getting interesting!
Everyone knows that the maximum supply of $ BTC equals 21 million units, right?
What if I told you that in 2010 someone exploited a bug and minted themselves 184 billion $ BTC—and the network accepted that transaction?
• On August 15, 2010, in block #74638, the attacker created a transaction with very large outputs. When summed, an integer overflow occurred, the validation passed successfully, and the network accepted the transaction.
As a result, three addresses received more than 184 billion BTC out of thin air 😱
At the time, Satoshi was still active and noticed the anomaly with the development team within the first hours. They released an urgent update, Bitcoin vO.3.10, and the nodes reorganized the blockchain, undoing the buggy block
This case went down in history as the only successful “hack” of Bitcoin—and the only time coins were created beyond the limit
💭 Who was the person who bought a pizza for 10,000 $BTC and where is he now?
I found all the information for you 👇
👨💻 Laszlo was one of the first Bitcoin developers and made a real contribution to the network’s development.
⚡ He was among the first to adapt Bitcoin mining for GPUs (graphics cards). Before that, people mostly mined on CPUs, and his work significantly increased the efficiency of BTC mining.
🍕 He doesn’t regret buying a pizza for 10,000 BTC. According to him, at the time, bitcoins were almost worthless, and the chance to exchange them for a real item was an exciting event.
🎉 In the following years, he bought pizza again with Bitcoin — this time through the Lightning Network — to show how far the technology had advanced.
On July 26, 2026, the exchange announced it would stop operating.
From the very beginning, BitMart became one of the prominent platforms for altcoins. It was often the first to list small tokens that later ended up on larger exchanges.
BitMart went through a major hack in 2021, when hackers took about $150 million in assets. But it couldn’t survive this bear market
In 2011, when Erik Finman was just 12 years old, his grandmother gave him $1,000.
Instead of buying a new phone or a gaming console, he decided to buy bitcoin. Back then, $1 BTC was worth about $12.
😱 With his money, he bought roughly 83 BTC.
A year later, the price rose more than 10 times. Erik sold part of his coins and, for about $100,000, launched his own online education project. He was unhappy with regular school and believed it taught outdated things and did not prepare children well for real life.
🪙 He continued to hold most of his bitcoins.
In 2013, Erik made a bet with his parents. They promised they would not force him to go to college if by age 18 he became a millionaire.
In 2015, he received an offer to sell his project. He was given a choice: either $100,000 in cash or 300 $BTC. He chose 300 $BTC because he believed bitcoin would keep growing.
In 2017, bitcoin surpassed $10,000. The value of his remaining BTC exceeded $1 million, and at 18 years old, Erik officially became one of the youngest bitcoin millionaires.
🙂 I bought 5,000 $BTC for $22… and just forgot about them.
In 2009, out of curiosity, Christopher Koch bought 5,000 bitcoins for just $22. At the time, almost nobody had heard of Bitcoin, and the purchase itself looked like a simple experiment.
For several years, he forgot about his wallet.
📈 In 2013, when Bitcoin started making headlines, Koch remembered his purchase. It turned out that his “experiment” had turned into a fortune.
🏙️ He sold only 20% of his BTC. That money was enough to fully pay for a luxurious apartment in Oslo.
💰 He kept the rest of the coins as the price continued to rise.
Christopher Koch’s story became one of the most famous examples of how an accidental purchase for a few dollars changed a person’s life forever. 🚀
