Bitcoin gains ground in gold vs. crypto debate

When gold maximalist Debra Robinson jeered, “Imagine paying $118k for a set of man-made numbers,” she echoed a familiar skepticism among precious metal enthusiasts. Lyn Alden, a respected macro analyst and Bitcoin bull, responded with pragmatic advice: “Precious metal enthusiasts could buy a bitcoin position of like 5% of their metals position.

Plenty of folks have recommended that for years.” Why gold maximalists should take note As of the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at just…

Bitcoin to Add Zero? '$1 Million BTC' Advocate Mow Says Yes

The "$1 million Bitcoin" advocate Samson Mow has renewed his ultra-bullish stance on the leading cryptocurrency, suggesting the next major milestone is no longer speculative — just a matter of timing.

The comment comes at a moment when Bitcoin’s price action is starting to reflect that kind of ambition. On the weekly chart, BTC has pushed through a key resistance zone and is now trading in the open air. This is its strongest…

Bitcoin Rockets 1,724% in Abnormal Liquidation Imbalance

Bitcoin’s weekend breakout above $118,000 caught attention not only for the price, but also for the aggressive liquidation stats. According to the updated CoinGlass heat map, in the 12-hour window, BTC recorded $3.66 million in short liquidations, compared to just $197,660 from longs. That’s an imbalance of 1,722%, with nearly all the damage falling on short positions. Unlike typical shakeouts, where longs become overexposed, this breakout wiped out shorts almost exclusively. For BTC, it was a one-sided liquidation, a rare event when price action favors longs so clearly. Across all tokens, 12-hour liquidations totaled $55.54 million, split between $34.16 million…

GOAT Network Bets on Fast ZK Proofs to Capture Bitcoin Layer 2 Yield

GOAT Network launched a public beta Thursday for what it claims is the first zero-knowledge rollup built directly on Bitcoin, capable of generating cryptographic proofs in under three seconds. The rollout—dubbed BitVM2 Beta—is aimed at tackling long-standing performance issues on Bitcoin, including slow transaction finality and the lack of scalable, Bitcoin-denominated yield options. “Layer 2 transactions are fast, but they’re pointless without equally fast proofs to finalize on the Bitcoin mainnet,” co-founder and CEO Kevin Liu told Decrypt. “If proofs lag behind, it creates inefficiencies and security risks.” A Layer 2 solution is a secondary protocol built on top of…

Bitcoin (BTC) to Hit $200,000? Elliott Wave Pattern Breakdown

With the asset soaring toward $120,000 and sparking a potential target close to $200,000, Bitcoin's price performance over the last few months has been incredible.
