Bitcoin had a feature in 2009 so dangerous Satoshi himself deleted it after one user pointed it out

In the original version of Bitcoin you could send coins directly to someone's IP address

There was no wallet address needed and even worse, your computer would connect to theirs to send the coins through

That meant anyone could see your IP, locate your machine and try to attack it just by sending you Bitcoin

On January 14, 2009 Satoshi decided to test it himself and emailed an early miner named Dustin Trammell asking for his IP

Trammell replied and actually sent it to him

A few minutes later Satoshi connected and sent him 25 BTC with a message that said "Hello"

Trammell answered him with a warning that the feature was insecure and within weeks Satoshi deleted it from Bitcoin entirely

Those 25 BTC would be worth $1.86 million today

COINBASE CEO SAYS BITCOIN COULD REACH $300K TO $400K BY 2030 👀

$3,000,000,000 worth of shorts were liquidated in the past 24 hours, the largest short squeeze ever in crypto history.

Before you get giga bullish, please read this.

Bitcoin pumped +15% in the last 4 days, flipping short-term momentum ultra-bullish, but this does not fully cancel the risk of a Q4 correction and bottom.

1. Why this is the first real reversal sign

-BTC reclaimed its weekly MA 200
-Bullish RSI divergence & MACD crossover
- Macro conditions are bullish with Core inflation at 5-year lows and ISM at a 4-year high.
- Russell 2000 is hitting new highs ( historically leading indicator for crypto )

2. The warning

In July–August 2022, BTC rallied +40% with identical metrics before violently dropping -22% in a single week of November and printing new lows.

3. Conclusion

Short-term momentum has clearly shifted bullish, but the larger trend structure has not fully flipped yet.

Holding above $67K keeps the recovery intact; losing it would mean the breakout was a fakeout.

BEAR ARE GETTING REKT

On this day in history, 16 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto argued that Bitcoin mining could replace household heaters because mining “is basically free anywhere that has electric heat, since your computer’s heat is offsetting your baseboard electric heating”.

A carrier pigeon can deliver a valid bitcoin transaction, three hundred bytes on a strip of paper, strapped to a leg. The global network will accept it without ever asking how it was sent.

Remember $ICP

Every exchange listed this on the first day and it shot up to $400B FDV

If you had invested $10K back then you would have just $9 today

Someone bought 50 BTC for just $4 in 2011

Held it for 15 years and survived every crash

Today he moved his holdings which is now worth $3.25 million

A 800,000x return by simply doing nothing

ETF or Self-Custody? The Power Law Does Not Care.

Since spot ETFs launched:

Structural-break probability: 2.0%
Break near ETF launch: 0.02%
Mean-shift tests finding no break: 15 of 15

The data shows no new Bitcoin regime.

A spot ETF still requires underlying $BTC.

Derivatives can multiply exposure.
They cannot multiply supply.

Self-custody lowers counterparty risk.

ETFs lower access friction.

Unless demand, confidence or scarcity changes, the structural projection does not.

Different custody but same 21 million supply.

The United States Treasury Secretary quoted Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin, today.

On this day in history, 12 years ago, the first Bitcoin hardware wallet was released by Trezor

Global bitcoin ownership estimates ~365M people, or 4-5% of world population.

Market capitalization relative to gold (~$1.28T vs ~28T) also points to roughly 4-5% bitcoin adoption.

In logistic (S-curve) terms 4-5% BTC adoption is in the region where % growth rates remain high.

Elon Musk Set a $BTC Energy Test. The Data Changed.

In 2021, Tesla stopped accepting $BTC over fossil-fuel use “especially coal.”

Musk set a clear condition:

~50% clean energy
+ a positive future trend

Cambridge data:

Low-carbon energy: 37.6% → 52.4% → 59.4%
Coal: 36.6% → 8.9%
Carbon intensity: ~13% lower per TWh

Bitcoin’s monetary properties remain unchanged:

21M maximum supply
~20.06M issued
<940K left to mine
~450 BTC/day → ~225 after the 2028 halving

More capital can produce more gold.
More policy can produce more dollars.
More energy cannot produce more Bitcoin.
Difficulty adjusts.
Energy increases security not supply.

The problem Musk identified has materially improved.

The evidence supports Tesla accepting and accumulating $BTC again.

On this day in history, 16 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote, “If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to convince you, sorry.”

The $BTC Train Keeps Rolling Because the Structural Floor Keeps Rising

$BTC spot: $64.5K
Calibrated P-10 structural floor: $64.5K

Projected Statistical P-10 floor:
2028: $120K
2030: $221K
2032: $361K
2034: $570K
2036: $804K

That is 12.5× in 10 years ~28.7% annualized.

This is not the bull case.

It is a calibrated lower-tail structural path based on Bitcoin’s historical scaling relationship.

The path will not be smooth. There will be volatility, drawdowns and temporary breaches.

But the deepest insight is simple:

Bitcoin does not need to rise every year. Its structural boundary only needs to keep compounding.

The $BTC train keeps rolling because the track itself keeps rising.

#bitcoin

$BTC Is Coiled for a Breakout

Spot: $64,543
Gamma flip: $62,595
Support: $60,000
Breakout level: $70,000

Dealer gamma is negative, volatility amplification is elevated, and the modeled amplification bias is upward.

The catalyst:

43.9% of total gross gamma expires July 31.

That could remove a major derivatives constraint holding $BTC below $70,000.

Break $70,000.

Then the ceiling becomes the accelerator.

The $BTC breakout is coiled and compression will aid the upward acceleration.

$BTC
2026 is the first year ever in which bitcoin difficulty dropped. What do you think it means?

$BTC Is Coiled at Structural Support.

Price: $64.7K

• P10 stress floor: $64.4K
• Adoption base: $60.2K
• Adoption spine: $72K
• 400-day cycle average: $89.4K
• Power-law trend: $136K
• 10-year structural P10: $370K

At today’s price, the model’s conservative structural case implies:

5.7× upside
19.1% annualized

Bitcoin’s supply is fixed and its adoption base continues rising.

Price compressed.
Structural floor rising.
Supply cannot expand.

That is why the opportunity exists.

It occurred to me that understanding both Bitcoin and the power law resembles the way we understand any complex subject at progressively deeper levels: elementary school, high school, university, and finally the level of active research.

At the most basic level, people see a single power-law line and ask whether the price is above or below it. But the idea that there is no uniquely privileged line—and that the dynamics of the system matter more than its exact price at any particular moment—is already a university-level understanding.

The deepest language is the language of local slopes. What matters most is not simply where Bitcoin sits relative to an average curve, but whether its local scaling behavior preserves the same exponent across different periods and price regimes.

That is the most profound way to understand the Bitcoin power law: not as a static line that price must follow, but as a persistent dynamical law revealed through the stability of its local slopes.
