Based on data, there's enough evidence to show that this recent price action for Bitcoin is different than in January 2026.
The question is, "is it different enough to suggest that the downtrend is over and a new bull market has begun?"
Here's the key info:
Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon.
As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation.
I’ve never seen something like this.
Thought Israel isn’t involved in Sudan?
Think again.
Avi Dichter, former Security Minister:
"For 30 years we have destabilised Sudan. It is important that Sudan be permanently destabilized by its internal conflicts."
“We had to weaken Sudan and deprive it of the initiative to build a strong and united state. That is necessary for bolstering and strengthening Israel’s national security. We produced and escalated the Darfur crisis to prevent Sudan from developing its capabilities”.
#KeepEyesOnSudan
“I fire 50-60 bullets every day, I've stopped counting kills. I have no idea how many I've killed, a lot. Children."
This is at an aid drop-off location
And every fucking day people defend this. from the average idiot on here to the most powerful politicians in the world.
This is Taybeh in South Lebanon.
A village that stood for 7,000 years, once full of life, homes, and history.
Now erased.
Israel wiped an entire ancient Lebanese village off the map.
And the world watches in silence.
@Sykodelic_ The thing I don't get about obv is the variance between timeframes. On 4 and 8hr btc looks good but higher timeframes tell a different story yeah? How do you know which is more relevant?
2025 Nobel Prize Winner Maria Corina Machado once wrote to Israeli war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and asked him for help to overthrow Venezuela’s🇻🇪 President Nicolas Maduro
In 2025 you get a Nobel Prize for trying to convince a foreign genocidal apartheid state to attack your own country and overthrow its leadership, so that Washington can privatise the largest natural oil reserves on Earth
I was hacked back in 2020 - SIM swapped - and it was a nightmare. While there’s no such thing as perfect security, you can make yourself nearly impenetrable if you take the right steps, even if they’re sometimes annoying and complicated to set up and stick with. This list isn’t exhaustive, but it’s a very strong start.
Lock down your mobile carrier. Call your phone company and request a SIM lock. Ask about every advanced option they offer for account protection. Push hard: insist they never change anything without you showing ID in person at a specific store. Be relentless - threaten to switch providers if needed. There’s always another safeguard they can add, even if most of them are still imperfect.
Consider leaving your carrier altogether. In the U.S., traditional providers simply cannot protect you against SIM swaps. Services like @efani specialize in this exact problem. Switching was one of the best security moves I ever made.
Separate your emails and credentials. Use a different email account and password for every exchange. Ideally, choose an encrypted service like ProtonMail. Enable 2FA on a separate, offline device - not your primary phone. Once a SIM swap happens, anything tied to your phone becomes a liability.
Use hardware-based 2FA. Get a YubiKey or similar hardware device. That way, nobody can access your accounts without physically having them. Use separate keys for each computer and an additional one just for withdrawals.
Enable 2FA on everything. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, bank accounts - everything. Avoid SMS authentication completely. Use authenticators on a separate device.
Segregate trading activity. If you trade on mobile, consider using a dedicated phone with a number you never share. Google Fi SIM cards allow you to rotate numbers if you want to take it further. If you can’t get a separate device, at least set up a secret Google Voice number strictly for 2FA codes.
Keep passwords unique and fresh. Never reuse passwords across accounts. Rotate them regularly.
Rethink your email provider. Mainstream services like Gmail and Yahoo are common hacker targets. Encrypted email services with strong 2FA are safer.
Stop using Chrome as your default browser. It’s bloated, data-hungry, and riddled with vulnerabilities. Switch to Firefox, Brave, or another security-first option.
Protect your computer. Install antivirus software like Bitdefender. Malware and phishing often precede SIM swaps, giving hackers the roadmap to your accounts before they hijack your phone.
Limit your digital footprint. Audit your online presence. Remove your phone number, address, and email from public sites whenever possible. The less information out there, the harder it is for attackers to target you.
Remove your phone number from exchanges. Even if you’ve switched to authenticator-based 2FA, exchanges often still have your number stored from setup. Delete it. Also, secure Telegram - it’s tied to your phone number by default.
I’d like to remind everyone that Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin who supported a 2 state solution was assassinated by a far right activist…
Interesting enough Itamar Ben-Gvir who is currently Israels National Security Minister appeared on television brandishing a Cadillac hood ornament from Rabin’s car, declaring, “We got to his car, and we’ll get to him too.” Weeks before his assassination
I want u to hear these 2 doctors from Australia sending their last words, fully aware they could be killed any second.
What they’re describing is horror that defies belief.
70% of their patients are kids…
I hear talk about people capitulating all over these days. Other people capitulating is your opportunity. At none of crypto's pivotal moments was it easy. At bottoms, there was always talk of lower. During forks there was always talk of chain destruction. We now find ourselves in another not-so-easy moment. If that makes you emotional, that's okay, sit with the emotion, observe it, and then decide what to do with it. With some patience, you can make it...
While there is always a risk of lower, I continue to believe this is a mid-bull pullback and that we haven't seen "cycle top." $BTC giving up a bit more ground isn't going to change that view. Selling here is unlikely to be a good idea if you're wavering - because if you're selling here, it also tells me you're prone to get sidelined on the way up. At worst, just sit on your hands, don't even look at prices if it helps and you're not going to do anything anyway. If you have any dry powder left, add bits here and there if things look really attractive to you, or when you feel sickest. NFA, just sharing my two sats.
It looks to me like alts led BTC, BTC led equities. Equities might have some more shaking out to do, but remember this: BTC and cryptoassets are the fastest horses in finance, to the downside and upside. If equities go soft enough, measures will be taken to avoid any major or systemic weakness, because Trump's favorite scoreboard is the stock market -- and cryptoassets will feel those measures most acutely.
If you get out of crypto due to fear, or trying to be too cute, you will get whiplash on the other side of this. Don't listen to the traders that are always perfect - they're liars. People making significant money rarely brag about how much money they make. I make mistakes all the time, but a key for me has always been staying significantly allocated to multi-decadal growth stories. In a sense, I always go partially down with the ship, while storing some reserves in lifeboats when times are good (read: take profit the next time you feel an urge to gloat).
Beyond liquidity injections, rate adjustments, and macro at large, right now is an incredibly exciting time for blockchains. They're finally getting the (inter)national respect they deserve, and all kinds of formidable teams are working on projects to bring blockchain applications deeper (and seamlessly) into the social fabric. Only last year did institutions really get the green light from Uncle Sam to play ball.
All these things take time - hang in there magic money friends.
Any criticism of today's press conference is absolutely missing the forest for the trees.
Having the Chair of Senate Banking, the Chair of House Financial Services, the Chair of Senate Ag, and the Chair of House Ag join the Crypto Czar to commit to passing legislation for crypto clarity is 100% a big deal (and something we haven’t seen before).
@twobitidiot@krugermacro Why burn when you could follow $MSTR's strategy and sell incrementally over time. Putting profits into buying other cryptos to add to the companies balance sheets.
