A developer claims to unlock a lost Bitcoin wallet containing 700 million dollars
A developer claims that a new tool using CUDA could potentially recover the 8,999 Bitcoin (BTC) lost in 2010 by a user known as 'Stone Man'. This dormant fortune is now worth around 688 million dollars.
The address hasn't moved a single satoshi in nearly 16 years. A successful recovery would rank among the largest amounts of Bitcoin ever reclaimed.
How Stone Man's Bitcoin wallet got lost
In 2010, Stone Man scooped up 9,000 BTC and was running an early Bitcoin client (version 0.3.2) from a bootable Linux CD. After he sent one coin to a personal address, the software automatically generated a 'change' address for the remaining 8,999 BTC.
Or is it possible with billions of chips that would run 24/7 for years?
Impossible and not profitable.

And especially, he didn't say when? In 2050 when a McDonald's will cost 1009usd?

What's the endgame for Bitcoin? Saylor from MicroStrategy has a prediction
Michael Saylor predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) would hit $10 million per coin, as digital credit instruments built on the network are expected to drive the price up in the long run. The Strategy president made this forecast during his talk at the Bitcoin Conference.
Saylor stated that Bitcoin-denominated credit would grow globally and attract new capital to this asset, reinforcing his belief that Bitcoin is on a structural path to become the world's primary store of value and reserve asset.

I had just $1 to risk… Now I’m watching profits explode nonstop. 🚀💸 Small beginnings. Insane endings. $PEPE
Mefie, there's a risk of retracing under 70k soon.

Bitcoin is starting to look very interesting on the weekly.
After months of bleed and compression, we’re finally seeing real signs of strength:
• MACD has flipped green with a bullish crossover, first time in 5 months • Price is attempting its first meaningful break above the downtrend since the October 2025 crash • Momentum is shifting, not just bouncing
Now everything comes down to one level: $80K
This isn’t just resistance, it’s the trigger.
→ A strong weekly close above $80K opens the door to $90K+ → Rejection here, and this could turn into a bull trap fast
Why bulls have a case:
• Equities are printing new all-time highs • Macro tension is easing (for now) • Multiple bullish signals flashing after 6 months of downside • $BTC is still sitting in what many consider a discounted zone
Why you don’t get complacent:
• One headline can shift sentiment instantly • Geopolitical risk isn’t gone — just quiet • If stocks roll over, crypto follows
75X the deep dive with the slightest mini crack and you'll get liquidated... you're anything but a professional trader, and even worse, you still don't know how to manage your risk.

Bullish
An intriguing statement from Circle's CEO, Jeremy Allaire, indicates the possibility that China may launch a stablecoin tied to the yuan within 3 to 5 years, despite the current strict restrictions on cryptocurrency trading within the country. This scenario reflects a potential shift in China's financial strategy, as it may seek to enhance the yuan's global influence through regulated digital tools instead of fully opening up to the crypto market. If this occurs, we could witness direct competition between dollar-backed stablecoins and their yuan-backed counterparts, reshaping the liquidity landscape in the global digital asset market. The move towards sovereign stablecoins is no longer just a theoretical idea, but has become part of a financial influence race among major economic powers, especially with the accelerating adoption of digital payment infrastructure worldwide. #Crypto #stablecoin #china #CBDC #CNY {spot}(USDCUSDT)
We just conducted a very interesting job interview:
- me: hello - candidate : hello, how are you? - me: do you speak French ? - candidate : Yes, I speak fluently - me: can you please introduce yourself in a few words - candidate : I'm sorry, I don't speak French that well - me: ok thank you - candidate : bye
$TAO : Exit liquidity or necessary purge? 🧠 The recent "crash" of Bittensor after the departure of Covenant AI is not a tragedy, it's an IQ test for investors. While the "paper hands" sell at $260 in panic, institutions look at the RSI indicator (which has dropped to 16!) and see a historically oversold area. The reality hurts: If your investment thesis collapses because a single team leaves a network of 120+ subnets, it means you weren't invested in the tech, but in the hype. The "Decentralization Theatre" denounced by Covenant is a growth challenge, not a death sentence. I adjust my grids. The noise drives out the weak, the numbers enrich the patient. Your move? 💎 Massive accumulation? 🚫 Definitive exit? Tell me, but be consistent with your numbers, not your emotions. #TAO #bittensor #tradingStrategy #CryptoPsycholog #BuyTheDip
Why this setup? Daily trend is bullish. The 4H setup is waiting for a confirmed entry near 0.012185, with a high 95% confidence score. Key levels to watch: TP1 at 0.012351 and SL at 0.011964.
Debate: Is this the calm before the pump, or are we setting up for a fakeout?
We buy jalzus early, the most important thing is especially not to sell too late

🚨 IRAN JUST OFFERED EUROPE A HORMUZ DEAL. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨
On the surface: Iran offered the EU transit access through the Strait of Hormuz. Sounds like a small diplomatic move. Standard geopolitics.
It is not. This is a goddamn financial nuclear bomb.
Let that sink in.
💀 The Hormuz Strait carries 20% of ALL the world's oil consumption 💀 Europe's energy bill jumped $16.2 BILLION in just 30 days of war 💀 Natural gas in Europe is up 100%. Oil up 60%. Diesel at $200/barrel 💀 Dollar reserves have already fallen from 70% to 56.9% in 25 years 💀 Iran joined BRICS in 2024. Russia banned dollar transactions. Gold hit $5,500/oz
⚠️ If Europe takes this deal, they pay in euros — not dollars ⚠️ One major non-dollar oil deal is all it takes to show the world it CAN be done
Do you understand the scale of what's happening?
⚠️ The petrodollar is the most powerful financial system ever created. Born in 1974. It forced every nation on Earth to hold dollars just to buy oil. That's the entire basis of US financial dominance. Not strength. Not trust. OIL.
⚠️ If that system cracks — BRICS accelerates, Gulf states reconsider, dollar demand collapses, and America can no longer fund its $34 trillion debt on easy terms. The US doesn't lose a battle. It loses the WAR — the financial one it's been winning since 1974.
⚠️ ECB board member Panetta said it on April 2: "Even if the Iran war ends, the damage has been done." Deutsche Bank called the Iran war a "catalyst" for yuan replacing the petrodollar.
They're showing you a war about nuclear weapons and regional security.
They're NOT showing you that the REAL war is over who gets to print the world's reserve currency.
Here's the logic — follow it carefully:
→ Iran blocks Hormuz for the US. Opens it for EU with a deal. → EU, desperate and bleeding, seriously considers taking the deal. → Deal gets done in euros or yuan. Not dollars. → Every country watching — BRICS, Global South, Gulf states — sees it happen. → $D $ONG $PUFFER
