This guy sold the first NFT for MILLIONS before NFTs even existed.
Four months before anyone bought pizza with Bitcoin, a BitcoinTalk user named Sabunir posted "I want to see if I can make $1 from selling a picture."
500 BTC for a computer generated wallpaper.
At this time that was roughly a dollar.
Satoshi Nakamoto personally replied to the thread, explaining how the payment should work.
Nobody bought it.
One user said "I don't want to buy the wallpaper for the same reasons I don't want to buy wallpapers for real money."
A month later, 500 BTC was sent to Sabunir's wallet anyway.
Nobody knows

If Bitcoin goes up 10%, about $4.15 billion in short positions will be liquidated.
If Bitcoin drops 10%, around $2.95 billion in long positions will get wiped out.
So the question is simple: which side gets cleared first, the shorts or the longs?

$BTC: It looks like we saw a fake breakout above the consolidation range.
The price has now moved back inside the range, which weakens the breakout attempt.
Now all eyes are on the daily candle close.

【$ETH Signal】Pullback to Long! 1H Oversold Rebound + Order Book Support
$ETH The 1H timeframe shows signs of stabilization after intense fluctuations between 1950-1980. Although the 4H timeframe is still in a downtrend channel, the 1H RSI has entered the oversold zone, and the latest hourly candle closed above 1980, indicating weakening short-term selling pressure. The order book shows exceptionally thick buy-side depth, with clear main force support intentions. This is a typical slowing-down structure in a downtrend, creating conditions for a short-term rebound.

🌟✨️💥 Eric Trump Blasts Banks Over Stablecoin Yield Lobbying, Calls It "Anti-American"
Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, took aim at JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo on X this week, accusing them of spending millions to block stablecoin yields while protecting their own margins.
His core argument rests on the fact that banks earn over 4% from the Fed, pay depositors 0.01–0.05% APY, and are now lobbying hard to stop crypto platforms from offering 4–5% yields to customers. "Anti-retail, anti-consumer, and straight-up anti-American," he wrote.
President Trump echoed t

#GoldAndSilverMoveHigher The quiet ascent of gold and silver is not just a price movement — it’s a signal from the global financial system.
While many traders remain focused on crypto charts and equity volatility, precious metals are steadily reclaiming their traditional role as anchors of financial stability. In times of rising geopolitical tension, uncertain monetary policy, and persistent inflation concerns, capital naturally rotates toward assets that have preserved wealth for centuries.
Gold, often regarded as the ultimate store of value, is once again demonstrating why it has survived ev

【$BANANAS31 Signal】Long + 1H Breakout and Retest Confirmation
$BANANAS31 The 1H timeframe is currently consolidating at a high level after a strong breakout, with the price stabilizing above the short-term moving average. A large bullish candle on the 4H chart confirms an upward trend. Although the 1-hour RSI indicates overbought conditions, trading volume remains stable, and buy depth at key levels is solid, suggesting that major funds are still active in the market. The pullback presents a buying opportunity.

The market is not a place for emotion or impulsiveness, but a complex system controlled by precise mechanics and intricate structures.

Investor concentration in the options market has become highly pessimistic!
The 3-month S&P 500 Put-Call Skew index has risen to around 0.50 — close to a 3-year high.
This index measures the relative cost of put options compared to call options, and the higher it is, the more fear and hedging are present in the market.
The question now is:
Has Wall Street become overly pessimistic… or is the market preparing for a wave of greater volatility?

The market has never experienced anything like this:
The S&P 500's trading range in the first 41 trading days of 2026 is just 2.7%, the narrowest for this period on record, going back to 1928.
This is also tighter than any Dow Jones trading range since 1896.
By comparison, during the 2008 Financial Crisis, the index traded within a ~35% range, ~1,200% wider than the current level.
The 2020 pandemic saw a range of ~15%, or ~450% wider.
Even the calmest periods in the 1950s, 1960s, and before the Financial Crisis saw higher volatility than today.
The market remains extremely subdued despite elev
