Why I'm bullish on Bitcoin despite price being red:

Bitcoin's price is always oscillating between three states - overvalued, fair value, and undervalued. The price we see today is temporary. It is not a verdict on Bitcoin’s long-term reality.

Fundamentally, Bitcoin has never been stronger. It has never missed a block, never been hacked, and continues to operate exactly as designed. Governments are more open to it than ever. Wall Street has built regulated financial products around it. Spot ETFs are thriving, giving millions of people exposure without needing to self-custody.

1.12 TRILLION dollars of real capital has been invested in Bitcoin (see chart below). This is no longer a fringe asset.

But, what about the risks now that it's no longer “governments will shut it down”?

The primary risk is quantum computing - and that is a risk for every digital system on Earth, not just Bitcoin. Banks, corporations, cloud providers, and governments all face the same challenge. Bitcoin is already actively discussing and preparing for this, and it is likely to adapt faster than most legacy systems.

Energy is often raised as another concern, but mining is increasingly moving towards renewables. Meanwhile, AI data centres are scaling energy usage at an astronomical rate and will soon dwarf Bitcoin entirely. Energy is not a Bitcoin-specific problem.

Bitcoin’s supply remains fixed. It has no true competitors. Other networks abandoned proof-of-work because they could not replicate Bitcoin’s decentralised mining and node structure. Bitcoin is uniquely tied to real-world energy and real-world cost. Nothing else compares.

Bitcoin does not care about its price. Humans do. Sometimes we overprice it. Sometimes we underprice it. Right now, it looks closer to fair value or undervalued.

Against a backdrop of rising debt, money printing, and institutional adoption, the long-term setup is hard to ignore.

If you want to own a scarce, decentralised digital asset with no competitors and growing institutional demand, Bitcoin continues to make a strong case.

Can someone tell me how to avoid/mute vague posts on X? I can’t stand them anymore

[Alec 🟠🐊 @_alecdj]

for the first time since October 2025, Short-Term Bitcoin Holders are in profit (in aggregate). It's been a bloody long road.

Now we see if their collective cost basis (~$78k) becomes a support level, confirming a bullish trend.

Last week, partnering with @unchained, I published my consolidated bear market thesis in the second edition of The Bitcoin Checkpoint.

I break down why today's bear is unlikely to hit the same historical metric thresholds many analysts are looking at.

Super stoked for this one to go live! Lots of insights to sink your teeth into as a Bitcoin investor.

[_Checkmate 🟠🔑⚡☢️🛢️ @_Checkmatey_]

I am very proud to publish the second edition of The Bitcoin Checkpoint report in partnership with @unchained.

It lays out my prevailing thesis for this bear market, how we got here, how low we may go, and what bottom formation looks like mechanically.

I've just finished writing up my second contribution to the Bitcoin quantum debate.

In this piece, titled 'Selling Satoshi's Stash', I address the topic of market impact assuming a quantum attacker sells the vulnerable P2PK coins.

Bitcoin will be fine.

Windows computers be like:

@cryptomanran nice LLM post

Things you see at the bottom™

[Brandon Hong @brandank_cr]

It's over for crypto. Permanently.

Ever since I publicly shorted the top, Bitcoin has collapsed -50%

This video explains how it's never been easier to make generational wealth by shorting crypto to zero

And why you should go all in on robotics & AI before it's too late

[Alec 🟠🐊 @_alecdj]

nice anecdote, but I can tell you that belief is not totally gone. Your belief is gone.

Stop basing your entire worldview on 300 tweets you see on your timeline.

[Miles Deutscher @milesdeutscher]

this is nothing like the 2022 bear market

belief is totally gone

but this time not just in alts

in $BTC too

seeing many OG whales/bulls finally capitulating

now i'm just trying to work out whether that is a bottom signal, or something very wrong

[Alec 🟠🐊 @_alecdj]

As a guy with a long term (5+ year) time horizon for every single BTC buy, I'm choosing to be grateful for this opportunity to stack more per unit of fiat.

Too many folks in BTC levered up, or bought far too much Treasury Co stock & it shows.

I for one am glad I can buy larger slugs of BTC with my usual Fiat DCA, especially when it's BTC sold due to pure fear.

Show me a time in history where this type of situation wasn't a good buy and I'll buy you 20x beers.

Bear markets beget Bull markets. Let it ride.

Near-bottom behaviour

[Bariksis @bariksis]

Today I made the hard decision to sell all my Bitcoin at $72K in hopes of catching Bitcoin 10-15% lower. Seems smart to me. I know I had numerous opportunities to sell over $100K... but better late than never, right? Wish we luck!

[_Checkonchain @_checkonchain]

Bitcoin has now back-filled the $70–80k supply air-pocket. That move was fast, but structurally unsurprising - low historical volume zones tend to offer little support on the way down.

- Price is now approaching the 2024 chopsolidation range, a region of dense historical demand.
- Paper losses are now on par (in USD terms) with prior bear extremes.

In our latest newsletter piece, @_Checkmatey_ continues his analysis of the prevailing drawdown, and what it means in the short term given we have now largely back-filled the air-pocket --> https://t.co/L97vRcGFT3

[Alec 🟠🐊 @_alecdj]

What's happening: More sellers than buyers. It's really that simple.

Expecting infinite demand all the time for this asset is silly.

DCA and chill.

[The ₿itcoin Therapist @TheBTCTherapist]

Bitcoin actually tagged $73,000 today, which is borderline insane. What’s remarkable is no one actually knows what’s happening and why price is going down. It’s all predicated on some BS glitch narrative from 3 months ago and the 4 year cycle which means absolutely nothing.

[Alec 🟠🐊 @_alecdj]

Kind of tweet you see when we are near the bottom

[Alec 🟠🐊 @_alecdj]

Scrolling the X app feels more and more like gambling these days. It's getting harder and harder to find a genuinely good take / non AI-slop post on the timeline.

I did a quick dive as to why it feels like this and found something interesting.

The Variable Reward Loop strategy:
The way X serves content to us is based on a clever mechanism called a Variable Reward Loop. They have essentially programmed a text-based gambling game where you don’t know when the next genuinely smart post will appear. Sometimes it’s 2 scrolls. Sometimes 200. But it keeps us scrolling to find the diamond in the rough.

Unpredictable reward on device = human braindead scroll.

"Why isn't Bitcoin up??"

Haven't you seen a bear market before? This is what it's like.
