📝 According to a market overview from market maker Wintermute, retail investors are rotating out of altcoins and back into BTC and ETH, while institutions have been steadily accumulating Bitcoin and Ethereum since summer.
Key points:
▪️ BTC dominance has been rising throughout the second half of the year ▪️ Altcoins are under pressure from large token unlocks ▪️ Capital is concentrating mainly in BTC and ETH ▪️ Holiday season + low liquidity = sideways market
Conclusion: An altseason is still possible, but not right now. First, BTC needs to reclaim higher levels and show strength. Short term: chop and liquidation-driven volatility. Mid term: institutions remain the main growth driver.🚀

Researcher Charles Edwards warns that quantum tech could break Bitcoin’s encryption within 2 years — and he’s not alone:
🔴 Jameson Lopp (2024): 50% chance of a quantum breach in 4–9 years. 🔴 Pierre-Luc Daller-Demers (2025): 2–6 years to crack elliptic-curve cryptography. 🔴 McKinsey: “Q-Day” could arrive in 2–10 years. 🔴 Microsoft, IonQ & Meta: BTC could fall once machines hit ~2330 qubits — expected within 4 years. 🔴 US DoD (2025): crypto-breaking computers in ~3 years.
Looks like Bitcoin might soon face its final boss fight — quantum edition. ⚔️💥
🇫🇷 France wants its own Bitcoin reserve — 420,000 BTC worth ~$48B.
Eric Ciotti’s party (UDR) plans to propose a law to create a “national digital gold” reserve — about 2% of total BTC supply — to be accumulated over 7–8 years. 💰
The fund would grow through:
1️⃣ Mining with surplus nuclear & hydro energy ⚡️ 2️⃣ Holding confiscated BTC 💼 3️⃣ Daily government purchases of €15M via public savings programs (Livret A, LDDS) 🇫🇷
Goal: strengthen financial sovereignty and diversify France’s reserves.
