The genesis of PrivyCycle did not emerge from the predictable hum of laptops at ETHCC’s hackathon floor, but rather from the electric tension of a Berlin summer stage in June 2025. There, beneath the spotlights of d/acc Berlin and before a crowd of Ethereum’s sharpest minds, Migle Rakitaite—visionary behind Wxmen Web3Privacy Now —stood face to face with Ethereum’s own Vitalik Buterin.

Bitcoin recently displayed a mini-golden cross between the 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), which is a positive technical signal. This crossover is a powerful momentum indicator, particularly given the current bullish structure of Bitcoin, even though it is not as widely observed as the classic 50/200 EMA golden cross. A clear move above the 100 EMA (orange) by the 50 EMA points to a short to midterm trend reversal confirmation. This crossover is taking place as Bitcoin continues to rise above $110,000, consolidating close to local highs after successfully breaching significant resistance levels – most notably the previous…
