Listen everyone,

Michael Saylor has spent nearly $50 billion over the last 5 years buying Bitcoin, and now he’s sitting underwater.

Adjusted for inflation, he’s down around $10 billion.

The bigger issue is that a large part of these BTC purchases were made using borrowed money and that debt has to be paid back.
This is where things can get very messy, very fast.

I talked about this more than a month ago and warned about the risks. People like this create centralization, which goes against Bitcoin’s original purpose.

When leverage and concentration build up too much, the system becomes fragile.

I’ll keep you updated over the next few months.

And when I start buying Bitcoin again, I’ll say it here publicly.

A lot of people are going to regret ignoring these warnings.

March jobs report just dropped — and it smashed expectations. U.S. added 178K jobs vs 60K forecast, unemployment fell to 4.3%. That's a strong signal for the economy.

Bitcoin stayed near $67K right after the data, showing no major reaction yet. But markets are watching closely — strong jobs could push the Fed toward more rate hikes in 2026.

Stock futures dipped slightly, Treasury yields jumped 4bps to 4.36%. Oil price moves have been driving rate hike bets lately, but Powell said the Fed won't rush into hikes just because of short-term oil spikes.

If this job momentum keeps up, expect more hawkish Fed talk — and that could pressure risk assets like crypto. Traders should stay alert for Fed signals.

Kwasi Kwarteng, the former UK Chancellor who served for just 38 days in 2022, is now making waves in the crypto space. His infamous mini-budget may have crashed UK bond markets, but he's back with a new focus on Bitcoin and long-term economic thinking.

In a recent interview, Kwarteng admitted the mini-budget was "very, very rushed business" with little time for coordination. The fallout was severe - gilt yields spiked and exposed the UK's pension crisis. But he still defends the intent, warning the UK is stuck in a fiscal "doom loop" where spending outpaces taxation.

What's interesting is his current role as executive chairman at Stack BTC, a UK Bitcoin treasury firm holding 31 $BTC on its balance sheet. The company has drawn political attention, with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage taking a 6% stake. This isn't just talk - Kwarteng is putting his money where his mouth is.

His criticism of short-termism in politics and markets resonates with many crypto traders. "Everything's quarterly driven, people are either euphoric or freaking out," he said, advocating for a longer view. This mindset aligns perfectly with Bitcoin's long-term value proposition.

The former Chancellor also highlighted the UK's reluctance to embrace innovation compared to Paris, which he called "quite forward leaning on digital assets." His involvement in Stack BTC signals a shift toward more resilient monetary thinking, grounded in Bitcoin's fundamentals rather than reactive policymaking.

X is rolling out a new security feature that will auto-lock accounts the first time they mention crypto. The move is aimed squarely at stopping phishing scams that hijack accounts and use them to promote fraudulent tokens. Users will need to verify their identity before posting again.

This could be a game changer for crypto scams on X, which have long relied on hijacked accounts to push fake giveaways, memecoins, and phishing links. By cutting off the ability to post about crypto until verified, the platform is targeting the incentive behind these attacks.

It’s a direct response to a recent phishing case where a user lost their account after falling for a fake login page. The attacker then used the account to promote crypto scams, showing how easily these campaigns spread. With this new lock, scammers lose one of their most effective tools—hijacked credibility.

While X has tried other measures like bot purges and API restrictions, this is the first to directly stop the scam at the source. It’s also a subtle jab at Google for not blocking phishing emails more aggressively.

This could make X a safer space for crypto discussion, but traders should still be cautious. Scams evolve fast, and verification alone won’t stop every bad actor.

Quantum computing is no longer just a distant threat — it's a problem crypto needs to solve now. Google's latest research shows that quantum machines could one day break the encryption that protects blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. While Bitcoin devs scramble and Ethereum plans upgrades, Solana is already testing post-quantum signatures to see what happens when security takes priority over speed.

The early results? Harsh. Quantum-safe signatures are 20-40x larger, making Solana run about 90% slower in tests. That's a massive hit for a network built on high throughput and low fees. On top of that, Solana's direct public key exposure means every wallet is vulnerable to quantum attacks — unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, where hashed keys offer more protection.

Some devs are exploring simpler fixes like Winternitz Vaults for individual wallet security, but a full network upgrade will require massive coordination. The clock is ticking: "This is a tomorrow problem — until it's today's problem," says Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden. Solana's proactive testing gives it a head start, but the speed vs. security tradeoff could reshape how the network competes if quantum threats materialize sooner than expected.

Former UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng is back in the spotlight, now backing bitcoin as a hedge against failing economic systems. In a recent CoinDesk interview, he admitted his short-lived 2022 mini-budget was rushed and poorly timed, triggering market chaos and exposing pension fund vulnerabilities. He warns the UK is trapped in a fiscal "doom loop," where overspending and rising taxes kill economic incentives.

Kwarteng now sees bitcoin as part of a longer-term solution, criticizing the short-termism in both politics and markets. While in office, he noted the UK's reluctance to embrace digital assets, contrasting it with Europe's more forward-leaning stance. He also pushed back against former PM Boris Johnson's "Ponzi" claims, advocating for a more open-minded approach to emerging forms of money.

Now executive chairman of UK bitcoin treasury firm Stack BTC (STAK), Kwarteng is putting his ideas into practice. The company holds 31 $BTC on its balance sheet and has drawn political attention, with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage taking a 6% stake. For Kwarteng, this shift reflects a move toward resilient, long-term monetary thinking.

The shift to 24/7 stock trading could be a game changer for traders, especially retail investors. With traditional exchanges like NYSE, Nasdaq, and CME pushing for round-the-clock trading, the power brokers have had during after-hours price-setting could be significantly reduced.

Right now, after-hours trading is thin and volatile, making it easier for a handful of firms to influence prices—sometimes triggering stop losses and profiting at the expense of traders. Greenspan calls this outright manipulation, and research backs up that extended hours can distort prices due to low liquidity.

If 24/7 trading becomes the norm, traders can react to news in real time without relying on middlemen. That levels the playing field, especially for retail investors who often get squeezed in thin overnight markets. Platforms like Hyperliquid are already proving the demand for continuous trading, with record volumes and revenue.

For the market, this means less price manipulation, more transparency, and more trading opportunities. Brokers and middlemen may lose their edge, but exchanges and traders stand to gain.

Solana is testing post-quantum cryptography, but there’s a big catch — security upgrades could slow the network by up to 90%. That’s a serious tradeoff for a chain built on speed.

Google’s latest research is raising alarms across crypto: quantum computers could one day crack current encryption in minutes. While Bitcoin and Ethereum are still in early planning, Solana is already running live tests with Project Eleven to see what quantum resistance looks like in practice.

The problem? Quantum-safe signatures are 20-40x larger, making transactions heavier and slower. For a network that thrives on high throughput, that’s a major hurdle. On top of that, Solana’s wallet design exposes public keys directly, meaning every wallet could be vulnerable in a quantum attack.

Some developers are exploring simpler fixes like Winternitz Vaults to protect individual wallets while larger upgrades are debated. But the bigger challenge is coordination — upgrading crypto networks requires syncing devs, validators, and users, which takes time.

Pruden warns this is a “tomorrow problem — until it’s today.” Solana’s early testing is a step forward, but the clock is ticking.

Quantum computing threat is real — and getting closer. Google's latest report says Bitcoin could be cracked with under 500K qubits, way less than earlier estimates. Ethereum faces similar risks, with $100B in assets potentially exposed.

Naoris Protocol just went live with a blockchain built from the ground up to resist quantum attacks. No promises — they've already processed 100M+ post-quantum transactions on mainnet. That's real, measured capacity.

Here's the key: once you switch to post-quantum keys on Naoris, there's no going back to old, vulnerable signatures. The protocol auto-blocks them. That's an irreversible security upgrade.

Right now it's invite-only with validators and early nodes, but the design supports future integration with wallets, exchanges, L2s, and DeFi platforms.

The native token $NAORIS powers the network with a $36M market cap at press time.

This is more than hype — it's infrastructure built for a post-Q-Day world.

XRP is moving up, but it's not breaking out. It's holding around $1.33 with more volume, but still stuck in its range. That usually means traders are building positions, not fully committed yet.

The token rose just over 1% to $1.33, with volume 23% above average. It moved almost in sync with the broader crypto market, showing no strong independent momentum. No big XRP-specific news drove the move.

Price action stayed tight — buyers stepped in on dips, creating higher lows, but every breakout attempt toward $1.33-$1.34 got sold into. The structure looks slightly constructive, but overhead resistance is holding it back.

Key levels to watch: $1.34-$1.35 is the near-term ceiling — break that and momentum could build. $1.30 is the floor holding the range together. Until one of those breaks, XRP will likely stay range-bound and follow the broader market.

X is rolling out a major anti-scam feature that will auto-lock any account mentioning crypto for the first time. Users will need extra verification before posting again.

This move directly targets the phishing ecosystem that hijacks accounts to push fake tokens and giveaways. By cutting off the ability to post, X removes the main incentive for attackers.

The tactic is smart. Crypto scams thrive on hijacked accounts with large followings. If those accounts can't post, the scams lose their reach. This could significantly reduce the flood of fake airdrops and "double your money" schemes that have plagued the platform for years.

For the market, this is a small but meaningful step toward reducing retail losses and cleaning up crypto-related discourse. Less noise from scams means more room for real projects to be heard.

Coinbase just got a conditional green light from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a national trust charter. This is a big move toward becoming a federally regulated crypto custodian.

The approval isn’t final yet. Coinbase must meet strict compliance, security, and risk management requirements before getting the full charter. If approved, it can hold digital assets for clients but can’t take deposits or issue loans.

This aligns with Coinbase’s push to reduce reliance on volatile trading fees and expand into steady revenue streams like custody. It already holds bitcoin for several U.S. ETFs, and a federal charter could unlock even more institutional trust.

With other firms like Ripple and EDX Markets also seeking similar approvals, demand for regulated custody is rising as big investors enter crypto. For the market, this signals growing legitimacy and could boost confidence in long-term crypto adoption.

Kwasi Kwarteng, the ex-UK Chancellor who served just weeks in 2022, is now backing bitcoin as a hedge against failing economic systems. In a recent interview, he reflected on the rushed mini-budget that sent gilt yields soaring and exposed the UK's pension crisis. He warned the country is stuck in a fiscal "doom loop," where spending outpaces tax revenue, and rising taxes kill economic incentives.

Kwarteng criticized the short-termism dominating politics and markets, saying everything is "quarterly driven" with people either euphoric or panicking. He now sees bitcoin as part of a longer-term solution, arguing the UK has been slow to embrace innovation compared to Europe, where Paris is becoming "quite forward leaning on digital assets." He also pushed back against Boris Johnson's claim that bitcoin is a "Ponzi," advocating for a more open-minded view of emerging forms of money.

Now executive chairman of UK bitcoin treasury firm Stack BTC (STAK), Kwarteng is putting his ideas into practice. The company holds 31 BTC on its balance sheet and has drawn political attention, with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage taking a 6% stake. For Kwarteng, this shift represents a move toward resilient monetary thinking grounded in long-term strategy.

The CFTC just sued Illinois, Arizona, and Connecticut over their crackdown on sports prediction markets. The regulator says these states are overstepping by trying to shut down platforms that offer "event contracts" — which the CFTC classifies as federally regulated swaps, not state-level gambling.

This legal clash could shake up the entire prediction market space. If the CFTC wins, platforms like Kalshi, Polymarket, and others could operate with more federal clarity. But if states push back harder, expect more regional bans and compliance headaches.

The timing is tense — Nevada just got a temporary restraining order against Kalshi, and the Ninth Circuit will hear appeals later this month involving major players like Robinhood and the North American Derivatives Exchange. This isn't just about sports bets; it's about who controls the rules for trading on real-world events.

For traders, this means volatility ahead. Regulatory wins for the CFTC could boost confidence and liquidity in prediction markets. Losses could force platforms to exit states or limit offerings. Keep an eye on $KALS, $POLY, and any related tokens — their fate may hinge on this fight.

The CFTC just sued Illinois, Arizona, and Connecticut over their push to shut down sports prediction markets. The states say these platforms are offering unregulated sports gambling, but the CFTC argues they’re trading swaps under federal jurisdiction.

This legal clash could shake up the prediction market space. If states win, platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket might face tighter restrictions or even bans in certain states. If the CFTC prevails, it could clear the way for broader adoption—but also invite more federal oversight.

Prediction markets have been gaining traction, especially with election and sports betting. A win for the CFTC could boost confidence among traders and investors, while a state victory might spook the sector and slow growth.

The outcome here matters for anyone watching the intersection of crypto, derivatives, and regulated betting markets. Keep an eye on the appeals court hearing later this month—it could set the tone for 2027.

Coinbase just got a conditional green light from U.S. regulators for a national trust charter. That’s a big step toward becoming a federally regulated crypto custodian. This could make it easier for big institutions to trust Coinbase with their digital assets.

The approval isn’t final yet. Coinbase still needs to meet strict requirements like beefing up compliance, hiring key staff, and passing regulatory reviews. Until then, it can’t officially operate under the charter.

If it goes through, Coinbase can hold crypto for clients but won’t be able to take deposits or issue loans. This fits its push to move beyond volatile trading fees and into steady revenue from custody and related services.

For the market, this signals growing institutional demand for regulated crypto custody. It could also boost confidence in $COIN as a long-term player in the space.

Crypto markets are cooling off as volatility drops and futures traders lean bearish. Bitcoin is stuck around $67K, trading in a tight range since February, while altcoins like ALGO and RENDER saw double-digit gains during thin Asia hours.

But the bigger picture hasn't changed — crypto remains in a macro downtrend since October, marked by lower highs and lower lows. U.S. equities are flat, and oil prices at $109 a barrel suggest the Iran war resolution might not be as close as some hoped.

**Derivatives are flashing red:**
- Bitcoin and Ethereum futures are subdued with thin volumes
- Solana futures open interest hit 65M SOL, highest since Feb 7, with negative funding rates pointing to bearish positioning
- Zcash futures steady near 1.7M ZEC with strong buying pressure
- Bitcoin's 30-day implied volatility dropped to 51.28%, lowest since February
- Ether's volatility fell to 72.55%
- On Deribit, puts trade pricier than calls, showing demand for downside protection
- Dealer gamma exposure is negative below $68K, meaning they could sell in a falling market, adding to downside pressure

**Altcoins are rotating:**
- DeFi Select Index up 1.3%, Computing Select Index up 1.5%
- Both beat bitcoin-heavy benchmarks like CD20 (up just 0.16%)
- This rotation happens when BTC stalls — traders chase lower liquidity alts, but it fades once BTC decides the next big move

The market is waiting. No panic, just positioning. Watch BTC closely — alts will follow.

Naoris Protocol just launched its quantum-resistant blockchain, built from the ground up with post-quantum cryptography. While Bitcoin and Ethereum face growing concerns over future quantum attacks, Naoris is already securing over 100 million transactions using NIST-approved algorithms.

The timing is critical. Google's latest research suggests Bitcoin's encryption could be cracked with fewer than 500,000 qubits - much lower than previously thought. Ethereum faces similar risks, with $100 billion potentially vulnerable. Since blockchain transactions are permanent, today's vulnerabilities could become tomorrow's exploits.

What makes Naoris different is its "irreversible security transition" - once users adopt post-quantum keys, the protocol blocks any attempt to use traditional cryptography. While currently limited to its own mainnet, the system is designed to eventually support wallets, exchanges, Layer 2 networks, and DeFi platforms.

The protocol launched with strategic validators after extensive testing that detected 603 million threats and processed 106 million post-quantum transactions. NAORIS token, with a $36 million market cap, powers the network's security and governance.

Solana’s durable nonces feature, built for convenience, just became a $270M liability. The Drift Protocol attack didn’t exploit code—it exploited trust.

Here’s what happened: Attackers got two of Drift’s five security council members to sign transactions using durable nonces. These transactions don’t expire like normal Solana ones. Weeks later, the attacker executed them, draining the protocol in minutes.

The stolen haul included $155M in JPL, $60M in USDC, and $11M in CBBTC, plus dozens of other tokens. Funds moved through Backpack, crossed to Ethereum via Wormhole, and hit Tornado Cash.

This wasn’t a hack—it was social engineering. The signers thought they were approving routine ops. Instead, they gave attackers indefinite execution rights.

Drift froze the protocol and removed the compromised wallet. Deposits, lending, and trading are all affected. Staked DSOL outside Drift is safe.

The bigger lesson? Multisigs on Solana need extra scrutiny for durable nonce approvals. This is the third major exploit in months with no smart contract bug—just human error + a powerful feature.
