When Gensler left the SEC in January 2025, Bitcoin was at 109k. Today Bitcoin is at 75k.

One major reason the crypto markets have suffered is because market participants started to lose faith in the industry itself.

After Gensler left, it essentially just opened the floodgates to the grifting age of crypto, where influencers and politicians were launching memecoins and rug-pulling their followers each and every day, without fear of any repercussions. This led to a massive misallocation of capital into useless assets that drained liquidity from the industry.

While people celebrated Gensler leaving, it actually marked a turning point in the industry, with Bitcoin only marginally going higher before entering a bear market.

Now that people celebrate Powell's removal as chair of the Federal Reserve, it makes me think history will repeat itself once again.

People celebrate it in the short-term, but as we look back on this era in a few years, I imagine it will mark a major turning point in credibility at the Fed. If the Fed just becomes another cabinet of the executive branch, it may lead to a lack of trust in the institution itself.

Perhaps many will look back in a few years and realize that markets were better off with Powell than without him.

Le cirque permanent des mensonges de l’administration Trump n’est plus drôle depuis un bon moment mais ce qui me fascine le plus c’est la réaction des marchés… et je crois de moins en moins que ceci est un hasard ou que les marchés pricent une sortie de crise rapide.
Ce n’est plus de la crédulité à ce stade c’est de l’aveuglement bien débile.
Ou l’une des plus grosses manipulations boursières de l’histoire.

Un putain de protocole internet qui ne rend hystériques que les gens qui ne l'utilisent pas

J'ai lu un article de Mediapart sur Bitcoin et je ne vais pas vous le relayer, parce que c'est objectivement nul, de la merde, comme la quasi intégralité des articles qui abordent le sujet sur ce media (et ça me désole parce que je connais les compétences de gens qui y travaillent).

Je me doute que l'équipe éco / finance de Mediapart qui a assimilé bitcoin comme un truc dangereux ultra-liberalo-neo- capilisto (et tout ce que vous voulez derrière) ne sera pas d'accord.

Mais ça devient vraiment nul, en 2026 de feindre de ne pas comprendre bitcoin quand on a vos moyens d'investigation... et tout ça par prisme idéologique.

Donc non, désolé mais l'idéologie politique ne vous permet pas de mentir, parce que oui vous mentez (peut être par ignorance... mais vous mentez).

Lutter contre Bitcoin au fil de vos publications n’a pas plus de sens de sens que manifester contre la gravité ou déposer plainte contre la pluie. Bitcoin n’est pas une opinion, ni un produit, ni même une entreprise vaguement domiciliée aux îles Caïmans : c’est juste un protocole Internet qui sait déplacer de la valeur.

J'insiste sur ce mot valeur, celui que l'auteur de cet article et d'autres sur Mediapart comme d'autres media refusent de voir.
Nous petits chanceux d'européens bancarisés, seul le prix nous intéresse... et mediapart, comme n'importe quel cryptobro de base tombe dans le panneau en sautant sur l'occasion pour annoncer soit sa mort soit un risque systémique sur l'économie mondiale à chaque gros retracement.

Le plus ridicule sur le long terme, c'est que Bitcoin est devenu une cible sélective puisque dans le même temps d'autres actifs comme l'argent perdent encore plus (voir le graph ci-dessous)...

Bitcoin est un assemblage de règles mathématiques exécutées simultanément par des dizaines de milliers de machines indépendantes. En pratique, vouloir “interdire Bitcoin” revient à annoncer la fermeture du protocole SMTP parce que certains envoient des spams, ou à exiger l’éradication de TCP/IP au motif que des gens regardent Netflix au bureau.

Donc svp Mediapart, travaillez ce sujet, vous allez voir c'est passionnant, vous allez pouvoir aborder le scandale énergétique français et en plus... ça n'a rien à voir avec Trump ou les fachos !
... c'est juste un putain de protocole Internet.
En plus ça vous distinguera des autres media tout juste bons à faire la meteo de la veille sur un actif.

Oui bitcoin est éminemment politique, et non il n'est pas le symbole du "neo liberalisme" ou de je ne sais quelle autre neo connerie... juste un putain de protocole internet qui se fout bien que vous ne l'aimiez pas.

Life after accepting that crypto isn't for me

[Nik Algo @nik_algo]

one of my best friends just told me his portfolio is down 90%

he wasn’t gambling.
no leverage, no casino trades, no reckless risk taking.

he just spent the last two years dca-ing into the wrong projects that looked promising and narratives that made sense… until they didn’t.

his mistake wasn’t greed.
it was believing that “being early” is the same as being right.

and there’s a lesson somewhere in that.

most people think the biggest risk in crypto is leverage.
it’s not.
it’s conviction in the wrong story.
it’s thinking a small cap lottery ticket is a “long term play”
it’s assuming time will fix a bad bet.

sometimes it doesn’t.

the reality is unforgiving.
you can be disciplined, patient, and responsible… and still lose if your selection is wrong.
edge isn’t about avoiding mistakes, sometimes it’s simply about avoiding the wrong narratives.

i’m sharing this because a lot of people are quietly in the same spot.
they think they failed.
but in reality, the market was never designed to reward everyone who holds.

this cycle has humbled more people than you think.

the takeaway isn’t “don’t buy alts”
it’s this: discipline won’t save you if it’s applied in the wrong direction.

$ZIG has been ranging and compressing tightly for nearly 2 years now

After seeing the breakouts on coins like $ZEC and $DASH after years of accumulation I wouldn't be surprised to see ZIG rip a few X's when it breaks out from this range

[Kasper @0xKasper_]

C’est un peu terrifiant ce qu’on voit en TradFi en ce moment.

Nvidia investit 100 milliards de dollars dans OpenAI qui dépense ensuite ces fonds pour acheter massivement des puces devinez chez qui ? Nvidia.

Pendant ce temps, Oracle signe un accord de 300 milliards de dollars avec OpenAI pour de l’infrastructure qu’elle finance elle-même en achetant du matériel Nvidia pour la construire.

Un vrai jeu de chaises musicales où les entreprises annoncent à tour de bras des investissements dans l’IA qui ne sont souvent que des boucles de flux financiers visant à gonfler la valorisation à partir de rien.

Pas besoin d’un master en économie pour voir que tout cela a des airs de bulle un peu comme à l’époque de la bulle internet quand des entreprises s’échangeaient de la bande passante pour gonfler artificiellement leurs revenus. Rien de tout cela ne crée de valeur à l’instant T, ça ne fait que gonfler les valorisations et déconnecter la valeur d’un secteur de la réalité.

Le problème d’une bulle, c’est qu’elle peut durer plus longtemps que votre capacité à rester solvable. Il faut simplement accepter de comprendre dans quel environnement on évolue et être prêt à sortir si ça commence à devenir compliqué.

[Benjamin Cowen @benjamincowen]

As it relates to altcoins -

Once again, there has not been a great reason for holding them.

The only way ALTs rally against BTC is if BTC rallies to new highs *first*.

So rather than hold a basket of alts hoping for alt season, you could hold BTC if you believe the cycle top is not in. And if BTC rallies to ATHs, you could then assess whether a rotation into alts could come after that.

If the cycle top for BTC is in, then you will have at least saved yourself the pain of buying alts.

Obviously BTC going down is not fun, but it would likely be one of the first things to recover to new highs in a future cycle, while many alts could just continue down.

Base case for ALT/BTC pairs for me is that they drop about 30% over the coming weeks.

If that happens, then I'll reassess where things stand.

In our community we love to say $RLB is a true bear market coin and time keeps proving it. When markets dump, real OGs hold strong while others chase volatility, fueling Rollbot buys, bigger burns, and higher trading revenue as gamblers and leveraged traders try to recoup losses.

Despite $RLB making up 90% of my portfolio, I also hold $ETH, $BANANA, $INJ, $SERV, and $NPC - all deep underwater, while $RLB stands like a rock.

Protect your capital wisely, $RLB is the only coin offering unmatched protection even in the toughest markets due to constant buy pressure from rollbot.

I don't think there's any doubt that $HYPE will be one of the best performers if the conditions give us that positive impulse.

Great recovery from the lows and now consolidating under the biggest HTF resistance we have.

Good news and we go new ATHs pretty rapidly.

Some thoughts if you're struggling post-crash.

I've been rich, I've been poor, I've worked 80 hour weeks, I've worked 0 hour weeks, I've eaten at the #1 restaurant in the world, I've eaten ramen and chicken breast for a month straight. I've made 7 figures overnight, I've lost 8 figures overnight.

-A $10k Miata is as much fun as a $1M Ferrari
-A $1 ice cream cone on a hot day can be as enjoyable as a $1k three star dinner
-Freedom is not escape from work, it's finding gratifying work
-It's free to sit on a patio with your friends and laugh
-It's free (ish) to know the love of another

Happiness is relative, a man in a jail cell is joyous to just see sunshine for 5 minutes. Happiness is a mindset.

[Benjamin Cowen @benjamincowen]

To those that keep calling for ALT Season:

In order for ALT Season to happen, ETH needs to go to $5k+ and hold it as support.

For ETH to go to $5k *AND* hold it as support, it means BTC needs to also go to all time highs.

The process of BTC going to all time highs would make BTC dominance go higher, just like it has all cycle.

So the only way to get an "ALT Season" is for BTC.D to first go up as BTC goes to new highs.

If that does not happen, then ALT Season does not happen.

So while the gurus sit out here and yap about BTC.D dropping now and they shill their shitcoins once again, just remember in order to get what they want, they first have to be wrong.

AGAIN.

Once you enter the crypto world, it becomes nearly impossible to truly walk away from it, no matter how much money you make.

I’ve realized this space creates a powerful psychological pull, something closer to gambling than investing, and that attachment keeps people, including myself, from ever really “retiring.”

Even after reaching financial goals I once thought would set me free, I found myself drawn back here, chasing new opportunities, and seeking the next high. The truth is, wealth doesn’t change who we are, it just magnifies our habits and obsessions.

I’ve watched people say they’re done after like $1m, $5m,$10m, $50m and yet they always return.

Money isn’t the finish line: No matter how much I make, the mindset that got me here doesn’t switch off; I still feel the urge to keep playing. Any why would you stop playing a game where you're among the best?

There is no retirement, I love you.
