🤖 AI “Revives” Satoshi: What Would Bitcoin’s Creator Say in 2026?
The head of CryptoQuant fed an AI model all of Satoshi Nakamoto’s writings 📝— forum posts, emails, and the whitepaper — then updated it on today’s Bitcoin reality:
• ~1.3M BTC held by ETFs
• ~700k BTC controlled by Strategy
• ~2.7M BTC sitting on exchanges
👉 Over half of the supply is now in the hands of intermediaries.
The AI-generated “Satoshi” reaction was blunt: instead of disintermediation, Bitcoin has drifted into re-intermediation. Ownership has shifted from self-custody to institutional claims, with investors holding paper exposure rather than private keys.
The verdict: the network is alive, adoption has arrived — but the focus moved from sovereignty and technology to price and speculation. 🤷
Bitcoin survived… but part of its original soul may have been lost. 😔

⚠️ Bearish Signal for BTC: Below the 100 WMA 🧸
📉Bitcoin has dropped below the 100-week moving average — a level that historically signals serious trouble. Back in 2022, this breakdown marked the final confirmation of a full-blown bear market.
Bulls still have a chance to invalidate the scenario, but the task is tough: BTC needs a weekly close above $88,000. Until that happens, downside risks remain elevated and sentiment stays fragile.
Can buyers step in fast enough… or is this déjà vu? 👀

🇺🇸 Trump Nominates Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair
Donald Trump has officially nominated Kevin Warsh as the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Warsh is known as a crypto-skeptic: he has repeatedly criticized Bitcoin and digital assets, warning about financial stability risks and the lack of clear regulation. He supports tighter monetary discipline and is not considered friendly to the crypto industry. 🤔

💥 Historic Crash in Precious Metals
📉 Gold and silver saw a brutal sell-off after a sharp surge in the US dollar.
• Silver plunged ~30% intraday — the largest drop ever. 🙀
• Gold fell ~10% — the worst move since 1983.
Other metals (copper, platinum, palladium) followed. 🤷
Trigger: markets reacted to confirmation that Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair.
👤 Who is Kevin Warsh?
Warsh is a former Fed governor, known for a hawkish stance, strong-dollar policy views, and a skeptical attitude toward crypto. He has repeatedly criticized Bitcoin and digital assets, warning about speculation and financial risks.
📅 When does he take office?
If approved by the Senate, Warsh is expected to officially become Fed Chair in 2026.
📉 Markets read the nomination as:
• Lower odds of intentional dollar devaluation
• A signal to lock in profits after overheated rallies
• A reason to exit “safe-haven” assets
Despite the crash, gold is still up ~10% YTD, silver ~14%. 🧐

🌪 Crypto Market Turbulence
Another wave of volatility hit the crypto market.
📉BTC dropped below $77,000, marking its sharpest downside move since spring 2025.
In the past 24 hours, 411,000 traders were liquidated for $2.53B — a staggering $2.4B in longs (no surprise), while shorts somehow still managed to lose $112M.
ETH also took a hit, falling to $2,300, its lowest level since summer 2025. 🙀
High leverage, crowded long positions, and panic selling once again amplified the move.

📊 Bitcoin Closes January in the Red
Bitcoin finished January negative, marking four consecutive red months — a pattern seen only twice in BTC history (2014 and 2018). 👀
Historically, a red January was always followed by a green February. However, hopes are fading this time: BTC is already down over 4% in February, briefly dropping below $75,000 overnight before rebounding to around $76.5K. 📉
Despite the bounce, the bearish trend remains clear, and market sentiment stays fragile. 😟

🔍 Did Epstein Have a Hand in Bitcoin’s Early Days?
Newly declassified documents have reignited speculation around Jeffrey Epstein’s possible links to Bitcoin’s early development.
Key revelations:
▪️ In 2011, Epstein sought contact with Gavin Andresen (lead BTC developer) and Amir Taaki (early Bitcoin contributor).
▪️ He invested in Bitcoin and crypto startups.
▪️ In 2016, Epstein confirmed meetings with some Bitcoin founders.
▪️ Previously released documents show Epstein funded MIT, and part of that money was used to pay core Bitcoin developers’ salaries.
There’s no proof he influenced Bitcoin’s design — but the connections suggest Epstein may have known far more about BTC’s early ecosystem than previously assumed 👀

👌 Barry Silbert: This Correction Is a Gift
Barry Silbert, founder of Digital Currency Group and Grayscale, says the current market correction is a “gift from the crypto gods.” 🎁
According to him, the sell-off is doing what every healthy cycle needs — flushing out excessive leverage and low-quality tokens, leaving the market stronger and cleaner.
Silbert believes a major capital rotation into crypto is approaching and that now is the time to choose high-conviction assets rather than chase noise.
🎯 His picks:
• BTC
• ETH
• SOL
• ZEC
• TAO
• Bittensor subnet tokens
Message is clear: volatility hurts, but opportunities are born during cleanups, not at euphoric highs. 🚀

😳 Bloomberg: Bitcoin Is Now Less Volatile Than Gold
According to Bloomberg, Bitcoin has officially become less volatile than gold.
Over the past 30 days, gold’s volatility surged above 44%, the highest level since the 2008 crisis, while BTC sits at ~39%. 📉
So much for the “safe haven.”
Gold plunged 10% in a single day (from ~$5,600 to ~$4,400), marking its sharpest drop in more than a decade. 🙀
Yes, Bitcoin is still down about 40% from its peak, but right now gold looks even more unpredictable than crypto.
Funny times: the traditional defensive asset is swinging harder than Bitcoin. 🥴

😬 Bitcoin Drops Out of the Global Top-10 Assets
Bitcoin has slipped out of the top-10 world assets by market capitalization, losing ground to traditional giants amid the recent market downturn. 📉
Price weakness and falling risk appetite pushed BTC below several legacy assets, reminding the market that crypto still competes head-to-head with stocks, metals, and commodities for capital. 🤷

Bernstein: “BTC is likely to find a bottom around $60,000” 🤔
Bernstein believes the crypto market is still in a short-term bear phase, but expects a turnaround in 2026, likely in H1. 📈
🔎 Analysts see Bitcoin bottoming around the $60K area — near previous cycle highs — before building a higher base. The pullback is framed as a late-stage correction, not a new crypto winter.
Despite BTC underperforming gold and trading ~40% below ATH, institutional support remains strong: spot BTC ETFs hold ~$165B AUM, corporate treasuries keep buying, and there’s no miner capitulation like in past cycles. 💪
U.S. policy alignment, potential Fed leadership changes, and sovereign-level interest could fuel what Bernstein calls the “most consequential” next Bitcoin cycle. 🚀

🗽 Coinbase CEO labeled “Enemy No.1 on Wall Street”
According to the WSJ, Coinbase’s push to let exchanges offer 3.5%+ yield on stablecoins has triggered serious concerns across Wall Street. 🏦
Traditional banks still offer below 0.1% on deposits, and higher-yielding crypto alternatives could drive a massive outflow of capital from the banking system. 💰➡️
For banks, this isn’t just competition — it’s an existential threat. Stablecoins with yield blur the line between crypto platforms and savings accounts, challenging the core business model of traditional finance.
Crypto vs banks is no longer theoretical — it’s happening in real time. 👊

🐻 Twitter bears predict $25K BTC in 2026… but the thesis is weak
Some crypto Twitter bears are pushing a scenario where Bitcoin dumps to $25,000 in 2026, arguing that BTC has “matured” and will no longer trend up — only range between $20K and $120K indefinitely. 🥴
The problem? This narrative ignores Bitcoin’s core dynamics: fixed supply, expanding institutional adoption, sovereign-level interest, and long-term liquidity cycles. A market that never trends but only oscillates at massive ranges sounds more like theory than reality. 🤔
We’re not buying it. Are you?

🇺🇸 Trump denies knowledge of UAE investment in World Liberty Financial
Donald Trump said he is unaware of any investments by the UAE royal family into the crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLF), telling reporters that “his sons handle that.” He also repeated that he has “done more for crypto than anyone,” framing it as part of US competition with China. 🤷
The comments follow a Wall Street Journal investigation, which claims that Abu Dhabi–based Aryam Investment 1, linked to UAE national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed, quietly acquired 49% of WLF. According to WSJ, the $500M deal was signed in January 2025 by Eric Trump, just days before Trump’s inauguration, and was never publicly disclosed.
WSJ also notes the timing coincided with lobbying efforts by the Sheikh for access to advanced US AI chips. WLF is co-founded by Trump and his sons, and led by Zach Witkoff, whose father is Trump’s Middle East envoy. 👀

🤓 CZ responds to recent FUD around himself and Binance
Changpeng Zhao addressed the most popular FUD narratives circulating over the past few days:
1️⃣ “Secret $7M bet on Polymarket”
Fake. There is no such market on Polymarket or any other prediction platform. The claimed volume simply doesn’t exist.
2️⃣ “CZ canceled the supercycle”
Misinterpretation. CZ said he is less confident in a supercycle than before, but never declared its end. Twitter filled in the rest.
3️⃣ “Binance sold $1B in BTC”
Incorrect. BTC was sold by Binance users, not the exchange itself. Wallet balance changes mostly reflect user withdrawals, while many still keep assets on the platform.
4️⃣ “SAFU fund isn’t buying BTC”
Binance previously announced a SAFU restructuring: $1B will be converted from stablecoins into BTC within 30 days. Purchases are done via CEX, and transfers may happen closer to the end of the period.
Overall, $1B over a month is tiny versus BTC’s ~$1.7T market cap — more a signal than a real price-moving force.

📉 Bitcoin losing its footing
🔎 Galaxy’s Head of Research warns that BTC’s current weakness may not be random. According to his view, Bitcoin could drift toward its 200-week moving average near $58K in the coming weeks or months.🙀
🧐 Key factors behind the pressure:
▪️ Around 46% of the total BTC supply is currently at a loss
▪️ Bitcoin has failed to move in sync with gold and silver, weakening its “safe-haven” narrative
For now, few are eager to call Bitcoin digital gold again 😬

👀 Could Strategy go bankrupt this year as BTC trades below its average purchase price?
Despite Bitcoin dipping below Strategy’s average entry, the market isn’t betting on a collapse. According to Polymarket, the probability of Strategy going bankrupt this year is just 10%.💪
📊 This suggests traders believe Strategy’s balance sheet, long-term BTC thesis, and access to capital are strong enough to weather short-term volatility — even if price pressure persists.
