Monero’s Wild Price Swings: What’s Behind Them?
I was looking at Monero’s price chart, and it caught my eye. This isn’t the first or even the second time Monero has seen a sharp, explosive surge. The price jumps in a way that doesn’t match steady organic demand. It’s more like a sudden, intense wave of demand appears out of nowhere - and the available supply just can’t keep up. Looking at...
Saylor’s Strategy: Keep the Faith, No Proof
Blockware’s analyst recently asked Michael Saylor a pointed question about Strategy’s reserves, and Saylor responded with a seven-minute speech that said absolutely nothing. It’s been clear for a long time that Strategy, which supposedly holds 580,000 BTC, has never published reports, attestations, audits, or any other form of verification. Every time Saylor announces another massive BTC purchase for Strategy...
Did GPT Find a Gem? SUI Price Check After One Week
A week ago, I wrote a post about the potential for AI to find promising crypto investments. Back then, I ran a little experiment: I asked the GPT-o3 language model to identify a cryptocurrency with the biggest chance of growth over the next week or two. The neural network suggested I keep an eye on SUI. At that time, I noted that: * 0.001 BTC could be exchanged for 27.89 SUI...
What’s Behind the Hype Around Hyperliquid?
This week — on Bitcoin Pizza Day — the prices of three cryptocurrencies hit their all-time highs in dollar terms. One of them was Bitcoin, and the other two were HYPE and WBT. * Everyone knows what Bitcoin is: the most reliable store of value that has changed how millions view the financial system. * WBT is straightforward too — it’s...
Crypto - the Perfect Prize for Extortionists
Cryptocurrency is the perfect prize for thieves, robbers, and extortionists. We often hear stories about well-known figures in the crypto world being kidnapped and ransomed. And just yesterday, in Buenos Aires, Oksana Drugaleva – the ex-wife of one of the founders of the now-defunct crypto exchange Garantex – was kidnapped along with her current husband and their three-month-old daughter...
Stablecoins, Treasuries, and the Genesis Block Warning
Supporters of stablecoin regulation in the US establishment have long argued that giving stablecoins clear legal status would boost demand for US Treasury bonds. Some have even suggested that, in the near future, stablecoin issuers could become the largest holders of Treasuries. Just the other day, "crypto czar" David Sacks echoed this idea: > “If we provide...
Is Bitcoin Really Money Now?
To mark the 15th anniversary of the first known use of Bitcoin as money (to buy pizza), I’d like to draw your attention to a recent court decision from Australia. The court ruled that Bitcoin should be considered a form of money. Personally, I’m not convinced that Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies qualify as money. After all, money is something that at...
908 BTC for 1 USDT? Not a bug, a feature
BIP-177 proposes getting rid of fractional Bitcoin units altogether by redefining the smallest indivisible part of Bitcoin as 1 bitcoin. Right now, the smallest possible unit is 0.00000001 BTC – also known as 1 satoshi. BIP-177 suggests renaming that unit to 1 bitcoin. There’s definitely some logic to it. Just recently, I had a couple of conversations with people who were surprised I...
Bitcoin Catching Up to Gold? Not So Fast
I was surprised to see a recent statement by Fidelity’s top executive Jurrien Timmer claiming that Bitcoin is catching up with gold as a store of value. According to him, Bitcoin's risk-adjusted returns are now comparable to gold’s. And the returns themselves, he says, are getting close too. But just look at the charts he’s using. * If you had invested $5...
AI Agents Missed TRUMP. Can GPT Predict SUI?
The spotlight in the crypto community is once again on the Virtuals platform. This time - thanks to the successful launch of the Arbus token, which has drawn serious attention and delivered impressive returns for holders. The $ARBUS token surged 60x, restoring confidence in Virtuals’ ability to deliver high-yield Genesis Launches. You might remember Virtuals for its AI agent tokens – especially those in...
