Craziest thing I've seen in a while:
• Someone buys $4M worth of BONK
• Then posts a DAO proposal asking to transfer $20M in BONK to themselves
• Waits 7 days without anyone noticing
• Then votes "yes" with their own BONK holdings, and the proposal passes
• $20M is transferred to them

And now the Bonk team has suddenly realized they lost $20M.
This wasn't even a hack. The proposal passed because no
$BONK holders checked the governance forum.
Insane to see the current state of DAOs.

michael saylor just hinted at strategy's first bitcoin purchase in two months

small detail big signal

the company's 840,447 btc stash is already sitting on a paper profit north of 2.8 billion dollars after this month's rally average buy price around 75,653 against btc trading near 79k

saylor going quiet on purchases for two months during the dip then hinting at buying again right as price recovers is exactly the kind of behavior worth watching not the headline itself

$BTC $MSTR

U.S hit Iran again this weekend

oil jumped stocks dropped

$BTC barely blinked

still sitting as august's best performing major asset even through the headline

that's a real shift from earlier this year when any middle east escalation triggered a straight red candle panic across crypto

btc dominance also climbing back above 60% right now

feels like the market finally stopped flinching at every geopolitical headline and started pricing things more on fundamentals than fear

worth noting not celebrating headlines like this are still real risk just less of an automatic sell trigger than they used to be

sol 105.06 up 0.97%

green across the board today quiet stabilization after last week's volatility around the fed speech

$BTC $ETH $XRP $SOL

buried under today's price action is a story that matters way more long term than any candle

an anthropic ai model reportedly cut the computational work needed to break a leading post quantum signature candidate by a factor of 67 million

that's not a typo 67 million times more efficient at breaking future proof cryptography than previously thought possible

same week both bitcoin and ethereum published their own quantum migration plans

this is the first time the timeline for quantum threats to crypto has felt less like a decades away hypothetical and more like an active engineering problem both networks are now racing to solve

doesn't mean your coins are unsafe today
means the people building this infrastructure are taking the threat seriously enough to publish actual roadmaps

worth paying attention to over the next few years this is the kind of story that quietly decides which chains stay secure long term

glassnode just flagged something worth watching

they're warning of a real supply wall sitting between 81,000 and 86,000

meaning a large cluster of holders are sitting on coins bought in that range and likely to sell into any rally back toward it

that lines up almost perfectly with today's pullback from just under 81k

if btc tries to push back up toward that zone expect real resistance not just noise

this is the difference between watching price and understanding why price moves where it does

$BTC just fell below 78k sliding as much as 3.5% after fed chair warsh delivered a hawkish keynote at the kansas city fed's jackson hole symposium

his line says it all he told the room we have work to do on prices

markets had been trading off treasury buyback optimism and rate cut hope for over a week straight

warsh just directly pushed back on that narrative

combine that with a 6.36 billion dollar options expiry hitting the same day and you get exactly the kind of sharp pullback we're seeing high leverage plus extreme greed sentiment amplified the drop once the hawkish tone hit

worth remembering this doesn't erase the month btc still ran from 62k to over 80k in weeks

but the easy fast gains phase is clearly done for now the market just got a reality check on rate policy

$BTC

#SOLJumps20%OnTheWeek #WarshSaysInflationIsFedTopFocus

Yo whats the catalyst here?

$SOL touched $110 yesterday

Was expecting the pump on $SOL

But it didn't really followed the structure

But anyways, if you bought it

Then congratulation, you're in profit

#BTC #solana

$RENDER didnt really followed the structure as i told

It sweeps the liquidity below major demand zone

Now it is up 30% from there

If you had bought this & hold it, you might be in a good profit

#USIranReportedlyReachCeasefireConsensus #OpenAIReportedlyCompletesBelModelPretraining

quick heads up for anyone not watching the calendar

jackson hole economic policy symposium runs august 27 through 29

fed chair warsh speaks friday august 28

this is the event that actually matters more than any single day's price move right now

markets have been trading off treasury buyback expectations and dollar weakness for over a week straight

warsh's tone at jackson hole either confirms that easier policy backdrop or pushes back against it

position sizing this week should probably account for that speech being a real volatility event not just background noise

$BTC

Btc briefly broke above 81,000 yesterday for the first time since mid may then pulled back to sit around 78,500 today

fear and greed dropped from 74 down to 65 overnight still greed just less of it

here's what's actually happening under the hood

total liquidations over the past 24 hours hit about 566 million with 331 million of that coming from short positions

that tells you short covering did a lot of the heavy lifting in this breakout not pure organic buying

now that the squeeze has played out momentum is naturally cooling and the market's entering a digestion phase profit taking kicking in after such a fast move

not bearish just normal after a run like this

the real test is whether 80k holds as support going forward or if this was a short covering spike that fades

$BTC

everyone's asking why btc just ripped over 20% in a week so here's the real answer

it started with the treasury

treasury secretary bessent doubled the long dated bond buyback program from 2 billion to 4 billion per operation

that came one day after the 30 year treasury yield hit 5.34% its highest level since 2007 amid a global bond selloff tied to inflation fears the us iran conflict and total us debt crossing 40 trillion dollars the same day

markets read the buyback as a form of stealth easing

galaxy digital's alex thorn called it effectively yield curve control and said the fed is doing qe right now in practice even without saying it out loud

lower long term yields plus a weaker dollar makes scarce hard assets like btc gold and silver more attractive almost overnight

the dollar index actually fell below its 200 day moving average for the first time in over three months right after this news

that triggered a serious short squeeze somewhere between 1.5 and 3 billion in short positions got liquidated as price ripped higher in one stretch crypto saw its 7th largest liquidation event ever about 3.5 billion wiped out in 24 hours adding 280 billion in market cap in a single day

underneath all that spot btc etfs already had 1 billion in inflows in the first two weeks of august before this even happened

so this wasn't hype out of nowhere real demand was already building the treasury news just poured gasoline on it

worth knowing this isn't a clean one way story either

btc actually gave back the 70k level within hours the next day after fed minutes reintroduced rate hike risk

so treat this as a genuine macro driven move not noise but also not a guaranteed straight line from here

$BTC

Btc isn't running alone

$ETH sitting near 2,430
$XRP up near 1.50
$SOL up over 96
$BNB pushing 700

broad based strength across majors not just a btc specific pump

when alts move together with btc during a rally like this it usually signals real risk appetite returning across the market not just one asset getting bid up in isolation

worth watching which of these holds strength if btc does cool off from these rsi extremes

#USTariffsOnCanadianGoodsTakeEffect #GrayscaleFilesFifthZECETFAmendment

BTC just did something it hasn't done in years

up over 22% in a single week trading near 77,000 after briefly touching almost 79,500 before a sharp flash crash rattled things saturday

the trigger dollar weakness plus a treasury buyback tweak fueling a broader hard asset rally not just crypto specific hype

but here's the part traders are watching closely right now

btc's 4 hour rsi just hit a 7 year high

that's not a small technical footnote extreme rsi readings like this have historically preceded sharp pullbacks

some analysts are already flagging a possible retrace back toward 70k even within this uptrend

doesn't mean the rally is over just means the easy fast gains phase is probably behind us for now

parabolic moves this fast almost always cool off before they continue

managing risk here matters more than chasing the candle

$BTC

btc sitting around 63.8k this morning eth near 1,889 xrp holding steady at 1.08 sol around 73.6

market's been choppy today after yesterday's stronger rally but still holding well above the lows from a few weeks back

fed left rates unchanged this week and the latest U.S inflation data came in softer than expected

slower inflation reduces the odds of another aggressive hike which is exactly the kind of relief risk assets like crypto have been waiting for

worth remembering this is relief not certainty though

fed chair warsh is still watching the iran situation closely and if that escalates further the inflation story can flip fast just like it did with the gas price drop back in june

for now markets are reading this as room to breathe

#AppleChipShortageHurtsSalesForecast #BTC

quiet but important story happening this week

bitmart just announced it's winding down its entire trading platform after 9 years

halted new signups deposits and orders immediately trading fully stops august 26 full shutdown by january 2027

this comes just days after bitmex the derivatives exchange also announced its own shutdown

two established exchanges gone in the same week

not a hack not an exploit just business reality catching up

worth remembering to always check withdrawal processes early if you're on any smaller exchange sanctions and source of funds checks can slow things down fast once a shutdown starts

diversify where you hold not just what you hold

$BTC

#AppleChipShortageHurtsSalesForecast #BTC

$RENDER Bottomed out

Reversal might break the structure upside

Keep an eye

$SOL looking good here

Might break this symmetrical triangle

If Fed holds the rates steady, there's 70% odds they will hold rates steady

Keep an eye.

you cannot make this up

a farm in Brazil just tokenized 10 dairy cows using ai powered smart collars

used them as digital collateral to secure 100,000 reais in financing

actual livestock now sitting on chain as collateral tracked in real time by AI

we spend all day talking about spot etfs and treasury allocations and meanwhile somewhere in Brazil a cow is now more liquid than half the alts on your watchlist

tokenized real world assets aren't some future concept anymore

they're literally mooing right now
