Techub News reports that a jury in the Los Angeles County Superior Court has found former Los Angeles Police Department officer Eric Halem guilty of kidnapping and robbery in a 2024 home invasion case. In the case, Halem and accomplices impersonated law enforcement officers to break into the victim's apartment in Koreatown, threatening with guns and controlling a 17-year-old cryptocurrency holder, forcing him to hand over a hard drive containing the private key to approximately $350,000 worth of Bitcoin. Halem served 13 years with the LAPD and left in 2022; he was still a reserve officer at the time of the incident. He is scheduled for sentencing on March 31, and other defendants involved in the case have not yet been tried.

📊 $BTC On-Chain Active Addresses vs Price Data from Glassnode shows one important thing: When the price $BTC rises, the number of Active Addresses also tends to increase. What does that mean? Network participation is growing. But now there's an interesting development: The price $BTC is still relatively high, Active Addresses are starting to weaken compared to the peak. This could indicate: 1. Retail activity has not fully returned 2. Price increases are driven more by large liquidity/institutions 3. Potential distribution phase if activity does not increase accordingly In the previous cycle, a significant spike in Active Addresses usually appeared during the retail euphoria phase.

Bitcoin sits around 68k after breaking its monthly uptrend near 74.5k. I went to cash then. Now comes the real work. Plan what happens next. Most people stuff this up. They skip planning. Or they plan only one way. Then they miss the move. Here is how I handle it. Plan one. Set limit buys at 55k and 50k. Put 70 percent of cash to work there. Keep some dry powder for a deeper drop. Simple. If price hits those levels you buy. No overthinking. It either triggers or it does not. Plan two. If we miss those lows and range between 65k and 80k instead. You get breathing room. Watch the charts. Wait for a clear weekly pullback or resistance break to enter. Time is on your side here. No rush. Neither plan is perfect. The one gap. A fast V-shaped bounce straight above 80k. No pullback. Just boom. I would sit out at first. Wait for a new setup. I never trade without a plan. Worst case. I buy back higher than I sold. Accept it. Move on. That outcome looks lowest probability right now. Trading means you manage risk. You plan ahead. You stay calm. You execute. Nothing changes after 20 years of doing this for me. Plan. Manage risk. Execute without fear. What plan am I missing here? $BTC ‌
