Bitcoin is still limited to 21 million coins.
That part did not change.
What changed is trading.
With futures and other derivatives, the same Bitcoin can be sold many times.
This creates “paper Bitcoin,” not real coins.
Just like banks turn 1 dollar into many dollars using loans,derivatives turn 1 Bitcoin into many Bitcoin bets.
Price follows trading volume, not just real supply.
That’s why selling pressure feels endless, even without new coins.
🔥 Bitcoin Crash? Strategy’s CEO Says Even $8K for Five Years Wouldn’t Break Them
Phong Le, the CEO of Strategy, has brushed off extreme bear-market fears, saying the firm would only start facing real trouble if Bitcoin plunged to $8,000 and stayed stuck there for five straight years.
His comments underline just how confident the company is in its long-term crypto thesis. Strategy has built a reputation around holding Bitcoin through violent cycles, arguing that short-term crashes matter far less than adoption, network growth, and multi-year monetary trends.
Le’s scenario isn’t a forecast it’s more of a stress test. By highlighting such an extreme case, he’s signaling that the firm believes its balance sheet, financing structure, and time horizon are strong enough to weather even historically brutal downturns.
In short: according to Strategy’s leadership, only a once-in-a-generation collapse lasting half a decade would truly threaten their Bitcoin bet and anything less is just another phase of the cycle.

@Dusk_Foundation I caught myself hesitating before clicking “confirm” on a DeFi app I’ve used for ages. Nothing was wrong, but I kept thinking… if this touched real assets, would I still feel calm? That question is what made me sit down and really look into Dusk Network, instead of just skimming opinions.
From what I’ve seen, Dusk doesn’t try to pretend finance is rebellious or fast-moving. It’s careful by nature. And honestly, that’s refreshing. DeFi on Dusk feels less like experimenting and more like laying infrastructure. The kind that assumes regulators, audits, and uncomfortable questions will show up sooner or later.
I think the big shift for me was understanding how privacy is handled. It’s not “hide everything and hope no one asks.” It’s controlled privacy. You don’t expose sensitive details by default, but you can still prove what matters when it’s required. That’s huge if you’re talking about real-world financial assets like securities or funds. Those things can’t live in chaos.
The infrastructure angle feels very deliberate. Modular. Quiet. Built to support serious applications instead of chasing attention. Tokenized assets don’t feel forced here because the chain already expects responsibility. No pretending real finance behaves like a meme token.
That said, I do have doubts. This path is slow. Institutions move carefully, sometimes painfully slow. Builders might prefer chains where rules are lighter and progress feels faster. There’s a real risk that Dusk stays under the radar for longer than people expect.
Still, from my own time watching crypto grow up, I’ve noticed something. When the space stops playing and starts handling real value, hype disappears fast. What matters then is whether the system holds. Dusk feels like it’s building for that moment, even if it arrives quietly.

$BTC is now on pace for its 5th consecutive red month, a streak not seen since the 2018 bear market, with Bitcoin declining over 16% this month after October, November, December, and January all closed lower.
This rare prolonged downturn has coincided with broader market weakness and significant liquidations, contributing to a steep sell-off that’s also dragged down total crypto market value and investor sentiment.
While extended losing streaks can feel discouraging, historical patterns show prolonged drawdowns often precede major cycle lows, and some analysts suggest a bottom could form later in the year as selling pressure exhausts and historical cycles reset.
📉 Gemini crypto exchange confirms international exit and major restructuring amid market turmoil 📉
🌍 I’ve been tracking Gemini for a while, and seeing it confirm an international exit feels like a quiet turning point. Gemini began as a U.S.-based crypto exchange built by the Winklevoss twins, aiming for a more regulated, trust‑focused place to trade. Early on that felt reassuring to many people who worried about wild swings and sketchy platforms.
🔧 Over the years, Gemini mattered because it offered a bridge between the traditional financial world and crypto trading. It wasn’t the biggest exchange, but it carved out a niche with compliance and institutional access. When markets get rough, that niche usually helps stabilize a business. But recent industry stress and shrinking trading volumes have made it hard to keep overseas operations going profitably.
✈️ Pulling back from international markets and restructuring isn’t about a single bad week of prices. It reflects broader pressures: higher costs, regulatory complexity in multiple countries, and competition from bigger players. In real life terms, it’s like a store deciding to close branches far from home when foot traffic dries up, so it can focus on serving loyal local customers better.
📌 This matters practically because users abroad will need to shift to other platforms, and liquidity patterns might shift as a result. For U.S. users, the impact will be slower and less dramatic, but there will be changes in services and possibly staffing.
📆 Over time, Gemini could recalibrate into a leaner, more focused exchange. But there’s uncertainty. The crypto space changes quickly, and restructuring doesn’t guarantee future strength.
🌫️ It’s a reminder that even trusted platforms evolve in response to real pressures.

Plasma: Why Stablecoin Infrastructure Needs Specialization
Stablecoins have quietly become the most important product in crypto. They move value every day, across borders and market cycles, without the speculation that defines most digital assets. Yet the infrastructure they rely on is often the same infrastructure built for experimentation, composability, and hype. Plasma exists because that mismatch no longer works.
Plasma is a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for stablecoin settlement. Instead of trying to be everything, it focuses on doing one job well: moving stable value quickly, reliably, and predictably. Sub-second finality through PlasmaBFT ensures transfers settle with certainty, which is essential for payments and treasury operations. Delays and probabilistic settlement are acceptable for experiments, not for money.
Full EVM compatibility via Reth makes Plasma practical. Developers and institutions can deploy using familiar tools, wallets, and standards. There is no need to rebuild infrastructure or retrain teams. Adoption can happen gradually and safely.
What truly sets Plasma apart is its stablecoin-first design. Gasless USDT transfers and stablecoin-denominated gas remove friction and volatility from the user experience. Users do not need speculative tokens just to move stable value.
By anchoring security to Bitcoin, Plasma strengthens neutrality and censorship resistance. It positions itself not as a trend-driven chain, but as durable settlement infrastructure for the stablecoin economy.

What If Your AI Actually Remembered You? No Matter Where You Go?
There’s this low-key frustration nobody really talks about. You spend hours shaping ideas in one AI, getting it to understand your style, your project, your half-formed thoughts… and then you switch platforms. Poof. Gone. Back to square one. Explaining yourself again like none of it ever happened. annoying enough to slow everything down.
That’s the gap MyNeutron steps into.
Right now, most AI tools feel like short-term memory creatures. ChatGPT knows you here, Claude knows you there, Gemini somewhere else entirely. None of them talk to each other. If a platform goes down, your context goes with it. All those insights, patterns, decisions -- scattered, decaying, slowly forgotten.
MyNeutron from @Vanar flips that relationship. Instead of your knowledge living inside platforms you don’t control, it lives with you. One evolving memory that travels across AIs, quietly stacking intelligence with every conversation. You can jump between tools without resetting your brain each time. Use the best model for the job without sacrificing everything you’ve already built.
And the part that really changes the game? The memory compounds. Each interaction makes the next one sharper. Nothing gets wasted. Nothing gets lost just because a company changes direction or an app goes offline. It’s future-proof in a way that feels… obvious once you see it.
This is where #Vanar starts to stand out. Not as another blockchain chasing attention, but as the layer that gives permanence to something incredibly human — memory. Anchoring that intelligence on-chain when you want it to last forever. Quiet, durable, owned by you.
So when people look at $VANRY after the recent market shakeout and see “discount,” they’re not just talking about price. They’re talking about timing. Infrastructure like this doesn’t explode overnight. It settles in, becomes useful, and then one day feels indispensable.
