🚹THIS HAS MARKED EVERY BITCOIN BOTTOM FOR 12 YEARS

Every $BTC bear market has ended with the collapse of a major crypto exchange, and I don't think this cycle will be any different.

Here's why:

Bitcoin bottoms when the entire industry loses hope

Every cycle has needed one final event that completely destroys confidence and convinces people crypto is finished

Only after that does the real recovery begin

2014 – Mt. Gox

Bitcoin had already lost more than 80% from its all-time high

Many investors believed the worst was finally behind them

Then Mt. Gox, the largest Bitcoin exchange in the world, suddenly collapsed, sending another wave of panic through the entire market

Just three weeks later, Bitcoin printed its bear market low and never looked back

2018 – BitGrail

Four years later, the story looked surprisingly similar

Bitcoin had spent months trending lower before BitGrail announced that millions of Nano had disappeared

Fear returned overnight, and many expected another massive leg lower

Instead, Bitcoin bottomed only weeks later and started building the foundation for the next bull market

2022 – FTX

Then came FTX

One of the most trusted companies in crypto collapsed almost overnight

It wiped out billions of dollars and destroyed confidence across the industry

Bitcoin fell to nearly $15.5K, and the media declared crypto dead once again

Two weeks later, the bear market was over

Notice what's happening

The market doesn't bottom when everyone becomes bullish again

It bottoms after the biggest shock of the entire cycle

When fear reaches its absolute peak and almost nobody wants to own Bitcoin anymore

That's the pattern we've seen for more than a decade

Now look at where we are today:

BitMEX has officially shut down, marking the end of another legendary exchange that helped shape crypto's early years

Whether people realize it or not, this is another industry-defining event arriving deep into a bear market

Every four years, the market gets one final capitulation event

Mt. Gox was that event in 2014

BitGrail was that event in 2018

FTX was that event in 2022

BitMEX is becoming that event in 2026

That's why I believe $BTC WILL print its cycle bottom within the next 2-3 weeks

If history follows the same script one more time, this will become one of the best buying opportunities of the entire cycle

Remember that I am posting news daily and monitoring each major macro event to post and warn you

So make sure to follow me and turn notifs on

CZ Issues New Warning As Exchange Shutdowns Fuel Custody Debate

The debate over CEX vs Self-Custodial Wallets has resurfaced after X user MASTR published a database listing dozens of centralized cryptocurrency exchanges that have shut down over the past decade.
The list includes exchanges that ceased operations following bankruptcies, hacks, seizures, disappearances, or planned closures. Among the latest entries are BitMEX, which is scheduled to close on September 23, 2026, BitMart on January 31, 2027, and AscendEX, which ended operations on July 1, 2026.

CEX vs Self Custodial Wallets Return to Focus

According to the database shared by MASTR, exchange closures span from MyBitcoin in 2011 to recently announced shutdowns in 2026 and 2027. The list also includes well-known cases such as Mt. Gox, FTX, QuadrigaCX, Cryptopia, Hotbit, Bittrex, and BitForex.

This is the list of all centralised exchange closures currently recorded in my database.

Across these failures, hacks, bankruptcies, seizures and disappearances, users lost enormous amounts of money.

– BitMart: January 31, 2027
– BitMEX: September 23, 2026
– AscendEX: July 1,

— MASTR () July 26, 2026

MASTR stated that centralized exchanges operate by holding customers’ private keys after deposits are made. The post added that exchanges manage internal account balances and determine when withdrawals are processed.
Based on that structure, MASTR concluded that self-custody remains the only way users retain direct control of their digital assets, repeating the widely known phrase, “Not your keys, not your crypto.”

CZ Highlights Acquisition Risks for Centralized Exchanges

The discussion continued after Binance founder Changpeng Zhao commented on the complexity of acquiring centralized exchanges. In a post on X, Zhao said purchasing a crypto exchange differs from acquiring many other businesses because security risks may remain hidden after a transaction is completed.
He said an acquired platform could contain legacy backdoors or previously undiscovered security issues created by earlier development teams. According to Zhao, a security incident could emerge after an acquisition even if ownership has changed. He added that exchange acquisitions remain possible but require greater caution because technical risks may not become visible immediately.
The posts from MASTR and Zhao focused on different aspects of centralized exchanges but centered on the same issue of custody and security. MASTR highlighted a record of exchange closures and argued that users lose direct control of assets once funds are deposited on centralized platforms.
While Zhao’s comments addressed operational risks that may remain within exchange infrastructure after ownership changes

Bitcoin $BTC$59,211.32 started the Thursday U.S. session with a fast 5% plunge to $58,000, its weakest level since 2024.
The largest cryptocurrency has since bounced to $59,400, down 2.5% over the past 24 hours. The selloff spread across the broader crypto market. Ether (ETH) dropped to around $1,550, down 5.5%, while solana (SOL) and DOGE$0.07293 posted similar declines.
The move came as memory chip maker Micron (MU) soared following strong earnings Wednesday evening, but much of the rest of mega-cap tech fell, leaving the Nasdaq down 0.4%.
Markets continue to digest not only the capital demands of the AI boom, but the Fed's surprisingly hawkish turn last week under new Chairman Kevin Warsh.
Policymakers signaled that their next move is almost surely going to be a rate hike rather than a rate cut, and that hike could come far sooner than markets had previously expected.

Poised for short-squeeze

While bitcoin remains in a sharp downtrend dating back to October, derivatives data points towards some short-term relief.

The liquidation heatmap shows a bulk of clustered liquidation risk above current prices, not below. That means that a move to the downside is unlikely to be amplified by a cascade of forced selling; the real danger is for those positioned short.
Open interest has risen roughly 0.28% over the past 24 hours, even as price fell by around 3% - signaling that traders aren't closing their shorts, they're doubling down and betting on a breach of the $58,000 level of support. Funding rates are also negative, another sign that the market is paying a premium for downside exposure.
Spot market depth reinforces strength beneath a delicate surface; CoinGlass data shows that there is a total of 6,900 $BTC ($409 million) sat in bids on the order book between the current price and $50,000, while there are just 1,570 $BTC ($93 million) in resting sell orders between the current price at $70,000, creating a bullish skew in terms of supply.
Typically, in scenarios like this, when a clearly overcrowded trade is identified, astute traders and market makers will target that weakness and move the price in the other direction. This could lead to those in shorts closing their positions to avoid paying funding and prevent liquidation.

Bitcoin ($BTC) dropped below $60,000, a key psychological support, on Thursday as losses in megacap technology stocks weighed on investors' broader risk appetite, adding pressure to an already fragile crypto market.
ïżŒ

The decline has triggered a classic bearish reversal setup that may push the $BTC price under the $54,000 mark in the coming days.
Key takeaways:

Bitcoin’s break below $60,000 has erased its June gains and activated multiple bearish setups.

Bitcoin’s rounded top and daily bear flag breakdowns are both projecting a downside target below $54,000.

$BTC's rounded top breakdown signals more pain ahead

The $BTC/USD pair fell as much as 4.8% on Thursday, hitting an intraday low near $58,000 and erasing its entire June advance. The pullback also completed what appears to be a rounded top pattern on the four-hour chart.

In technical analysis, a rounded top forms when buying momentum gradually exhausts, shifting the asset from an uptrend to a downtrend in an inverse-U-shaped structure. The pattern officially resolves when the price breaks below the "neckline" or the structure's base support.
By measuring the distance from the top of the dome to the neckline and projecting that same distance downward from the breakdown point, analysts calculate a clear target.
For Bitcoin, this measured downside target sits just under the $54,000 level, representing an approximate 8.9% drop from current prices.
On the daily chart, Bitcoin has simultaneously triggered a bear flag breakdown.

This secondary pattern independently projects an identical move toward the $54,000 zone, adding substantial weight to the bearish case.

Bitcoin MVRV bands increase $54,000 target odds

Bitcoin’s on-chain price bands also point to the same downside area highlighted by the rounded-top and bear-flag setups.
Glassnode’s MVRV pricing bands compare Bitcoin’s market price with its realized price, or the average price at which coins last moved on-chain. In simple terms, they show whether the market is trading at unusually high profit or loss levels.
ïżŒ

As of Wednesday, Bitcoin was trading near $60,997, while the 1.0 MVRV band, shown in green, sat around $53,390. That level closely matches the technical downside target near $54,000, making it an important support zone if $BTC extends its decline.
A deeper selloff, however, could push Bitcoin toward the 0.8 MVRV band, shown in blue, near $42,700. Historically, Bitcoin’s major bear-market bottoms have formed around this lower blue band, where unrealized losses become extreme, and capitulation risk rises

đŸ”„ Binance Founder CZ :"If Satoshi Nakamoto Dosen't Move His BTC His Coin Should Be Frozen





Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) made noteworthy statements regarding how Bitcoin ($BTC) could be protected against quantum computers in the future and how the $BTC believed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto should be handled.
Appearing on the Galaxy Brains podcast hosted by Galaxy Research President Alex Thorn, CZ stated that quantum computing is not an insurmountable problem for Bitcoin. According to CZ, quantum-resistant encryption algorithms already exist to counter the risks that quantum computers could pose. The crucial point is whether the Bitcoin community can make such a transition in a coordinated manner.
CZ argued that “doing nothing” regarding the approximately 1 million $BTC, particularly those associated with Satoshi Nakamoto and long inactive, would be a bad choice. According to the Binance founder, if Bitcoin were to transition to a new, quantum-resistant cryptographic structure in the future, the community should give the owners of these addresses a period of 6 to 12 months to move their assets to the new system.
CZ stated that if no activity is observed in the addresses believed to belong to Satoshi during this period, the relevant $BTC should be frozen under the new protocol. In such a scenario, approximately 1 million $BTC could be removed from circulation.
According to CZ, failure to take any action on this matter could mean that these BTCs fall into the hands of the first person or persons who can crack the addresses using quantum computers in the future. CZ stated that this would not be a fair or healthy distribution method.

However, CZ added that the final decision should be made by the Bitcoin community, not by him. The Binance founder said that such a critical decision could be shaped through signaling mechanisms or similar community voting within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
CZ also shared his thoughts on $BNB Chain and the general direction of the crypto sector during the podcast. Reminding viewers that he no longer manages the daily operations of the Binance exchange, CZ stated that this allows him to spend more time with developers and that he is excited about the new features being developed on $BNB Chain.
According to CZ, the new version of $BNB Chain will be faster, less expensive, and have more privacy controls. CZ also offered advice to blockchain developers, saying that major technical updates are better implemented during calmer bear markets rather than bull markets.
CZ, also speaking about RWAs (real-world assets), stated that he was more skeptical about this area about a year or a year and a half ago. He said that initially he wasn’t sure if these assets would actually be tradable and if the industry would embrace the space.
However, CZ expressed surprise at the rapid growth in the RWA space, stating that assets like stablecoins, oil futures, and AI stocks have gained strong acceptance within the crypto community. According to CZ, this indicates that many people worldwide want access to these types of financial assets.
CZ also argued that crypto should not be seen as a separate and isolated sector. According to the Binance founder, crypto should be considered a new technological tool that makes financial transactions faster, cheaper, and more transparent.

Strategy’s co-founder, Michael Saylor, has cited the market drawdown his company faced in the past, yet the company didn’t sell any $BTC even when its debt exceeded its reserves. This comes amid criticism of the company’s approach to buying more $BTC using MSTR and the preferred security STRC, despite current market conditions.

Michael Saylor Points To Bitcoin and USD Reserves Exceeding Debt

In an X post, Saylor noted that their $BTC and USD reserves exceed their debt by around $48 billion. He also mentioned that Strategy has raised over $60 billion of additional capital and invested it in $BTC since 2022.
The Strategy co-founder made this statement in comparison to 2022, when their debt exceeded the combined value of their Bitcoin and cash reserves by around $300 million. Saylor noted that in 2022, the $BTC price traded near $20,000, and they held 130,000 $BTC worth about $2.6 billion.
At the same time, the MSTR stock traded at $24, split-adjusted. Meanwhile, $BTC fell below $16,000, leading to their debt exceeding their reserves and MSTR stock crashing into the $13 range by year-end.
Saylor’s statement comes amid recent criticisms of the company’s Bitcoin accumulation model, with the company selling MSTR and STRC shares to buy more $BTC. The STRC stock recently fell to a record low of around $83, down double digits from its $100 par value.
Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff floated an investor lawsuit against Strategy and Saylor as STRC dropped to record lows. He also opined that the Strategy co-founder may be guilty of fraud, based on his belief that Saylor has violated the SEC’s marketing rules in how he has promoted the STRC stock.

Expert Jumps To Saylor’s Defense

In an X post, Fox and Sky News contributor David Gokhshtein remarked that Bitcoin isn’t sitting at its current price because of Saylor. “Some of you are so desperate to blame one person for every move in the market that you’ve completely lost the plot,” he said.

Comparing Michael Saylor to Do Kwon is fu***ng insane.
Comparing Strategy to Terra Luna is fu***ng insane.

Gokhshtein also described the comparison of Saylor to Do Kwon as insane, as well as the comparison of Strategy to Terra Luna. As CoinGape reported, Crypto analyst Ali Martinez drew similarities between STRC and LUNA, suggesting that the former could crash like the latter.
Bitcoin advocate Samson Mow has also jumped to Saylor’s defense amid the recent criticisms. In an X post, he described STRC as a “brilliant instrument.” Mow also remarked that there’s nothing structurally wrong with STRC’s design unless one thinks Bitcoin won’t appreciate in the long term.

06/20/2026

A former Ethereum Foundation contributor has warned that Ethereum’s development ecosystem could face a funding crunch within the next three to nine months. This raises concerns about the network’s ability to continue delivering major upgrades and long-term innovation.
Trent VanEpps, who worked at the Ethereum Foundation from 2021 to 2026, said Ethereum may be heading toward a “slow-burning funding crisis.” He explained that this will happen as key funding sources begin to dry up.
According to him, the issue goes beyond a temporary budget gap. It points to deeper structural challenges around how Ethereum funds and supports its core contributors.

Why Funding Is Becoming a Concern

VanEpps estimates that Ethereum’s core development ecosystem requires roughly $30 million per year to support client teams, researchers, coordinators, and protocol developers. He argued that this is a relatively small cost considering the scale of the network. Furthermore, the resources these teams maintain are significant.
However, two major changes are putting pressure on funding.
First, the Ethereum Foundation has been reducing its spending. In 2025, the Foundation introduced a treasury plan aimed at lowering annual spending from 15% to around 5% by 2030. This is meant to preserve its remaining funds.
Second, Ethereum’s Client Incentive Program (CIP), a four-year initiative that helped fund client teams through staking rewards, expired in April 2026. So far, no replacement program has been announced.
According to VanEpps, these changes could leave important development teams without stable funding in the coming months.

The Challenge of “Subtraction”

A major part of the discussion revolves around the Ethereum Foundation’s long-standing philosophy called “Subtraction.”
So rather than becoming the permanent center of power, the Foundation wants Ethereum to grow beyond it. Eventually, it wants the network to rely on a wider ecosystem of independent organizations.
While VanEpps said this approach successfully communicated that the Foundation does not want to control Ethereum forever, he argued that the ecosystem has struggled to replace many of the roles the Foundation still plays.
Despite its efforts to step back, the Ethereum Foundation still holds significant influence through its brand, treasury, research teams, Ethereum.org, and major events like Devcon. Also, it has a close association with Vitalik Buterin.

Ethereum’s Next Chapter

VanEpps pointed to a recent statement from Buterin, who said the Ethereum Foundation was never designed to be the network’s permanent steward.
That means new institutions, funding models, and governance structures will likely need to emerge as Ethereum enters its next phase.
Without consistent funding, VanEpps warned that Ethereum could lose experienced developers. Additionally, it would slow progress on important challenges such as scaling and quantum-resistance research. It could also risk damaging its reputation for reliability.
His message was ultimately a call for the Ethereum community to start building sustainable funding mechanisms and new institutions now. He warned they should not wait until the effects of underinvestment become visible a year or two down the road.
