Scott Bessent just took a direct swing at Brian Armstrong, calling him a ‘recalcitrant actor’ for opposing the CLARITY Act.
I would be absolutely FURIOUS about this if:
A) I was Brian Armstrong
B) I knew what 'recalcitrant' meant
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Right now there's billions of dollars worth of $BTC short positions waiting to get liquidated.
Here’s how it could lead to a short term rally:
When traders bet against $BTC and the price moves against them, exchanges automatically close their positions by buying the asset back.
This creates buying pressure that pushes prices even higher:
1/ Traders open leveraged short positions, betting $BTC will drop.
2/ Price rises and hits their liquidation threshold.
3/ Exchanges force-buy $BTC to close the position, adding fuel to the rally.
Right now there's billions of dollars in short positions stacked between $72.5k and $79.5k.
Each level acts like a tripwire.
Large players actively hunt these levels.
They know exactly where the leverage is sitting.
If $BTC breaches that range, it triggers a cascade.
- Shorts get liquidated.
- Forced buying kicks in.
- Price climbs to the next liquidation cluster.
(Rinse and repeat.)
When shorts are stacked like this, it creates asymmetric upside potential in the short term.
A move into that $72.5k to $79.5k zone could accelerate fast.
(And we're currently massively over sold)
Watch closely to see if the big dogs try to switch things up and sweep the shorts.
I wouldn’t agree at all about minimizing skills, as they (skills/instructions/commands) are stuff that explain standards/conventions you want to enforce in your project. Without that, you cannot “control” standardize something, eapecially if ie you want to change some standards, code structure etc… if you have legacy code, agents will look for how something is already done and do it in similar way, or just write it without any specific rules, and more related to stuff you were mentioning in the same session. So skills YES but not one skill or instructions file, you need to segregate them/use refs etc…
Instructions/skills/commands/specialized agents are very important to make agents know what you want from them (alongside prompts you are making)
Also MCP, if you find it easier to add mcp config to easier wor with some data behind auth, ofc you should add instead of constantly looking for workarounds.
Be careful out there today.
BlackRock just deposited 2,268 $BTC and 45,324 $ETH to Coinbase Prime.
(That's $247.71M in combined assets)
Prices held steady over the weekend, with retail sentiment staying relatively calm.
But it looks like institutional money is not on the same page.
Coinbase Prime is the institutional trading arm.
When assets move there, it typically means one thing.
Preparation for liquidation.
The real winner of last week's market chaos wasn't the traders who timed the bottom.
It was DeFi.
I know this sounds crazy when everyone's focused on liquidation carnage and portfolio damage.
But hear me out.
We just witnessed some of the highest volatility days in crypto history.
Billions in liquidations, with pure chaos across every exchange.
And what happened to DeFi?
Nothing. Everything worked exactly as designed.
- No halted trades.
- No frozen withdrawals.
- No emergency interventions from some centralized authority.
- No "we're experiencing technical difficulties" messages.
Just decentralized financial infrastructure doing its job.
Hell, Sky GREW its supply last Thursday:
Kept printing revenue. Continued buying back its token. Like absolutely nothing happened.
In moments like this in the past, traditional finance has seen circuit breakers firing, trading desks going dark, phone lines jammed, withdrawal delays…
When DeFi faced the same moment last week, it just kept running.
24/7. Permissionless. Unstoppable.
And I get it.
The crypto pessimists will point to the losses. The mainstream crowd will focus on the volatility.
But they're missing the forest for the trees.
This was a stress test. And the infrastructure passed.
Crypto is maturing right in front of us.
Creating products that actually work under extreme pressure.
While everyone argues about price action and regulatory noise, builders keep shipping.
The train bringing the world's assets onchain isn't slowing down.
More access. Better products. Higher yields.
All delivered through code that doesn't take days off or make emotional decisions.
That's the real story.
