Bitcoin’s four-year cycle used to offer a simple script: halving rewards meant scarcity, and scarcity meant higher prices.
This pattern held for over a decade. Every four years, the network’s reward to miners was halved, thereby tightening the supply, followed by a speculative frenzy that resulted in a new all-time high.

A new quantum countdown website projects a two– to three-year window for quantum computers to break widely used public key cryptography, placing Bitcoin within its scope.
Sites like The Quantum Doom Clock, operated by Postquant Labs and Hadamard Gate Inc., package aggressive assumptions about qubit scaling and error rates into a timeline that spans the late 2020s to early 2030s for a...
Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a sharp $566.4 million outflow on Tuesday, Nov. 4, extending its five-day drain to roughly $1.9 billion and decisively flipping the week’s tone into risk-off.

Two headlines hit the internet within hours of each other this week, and together they map the current state of DeFi’s security theater.

With...
Crypto Twitter is filled with claims that “everyone is buying Bitcoin”, from Michael Saylor and BlackRock to entire countries and even banks.
Yet despite the accumulation narratives, Bitcoin’s price has slipped sharply, breaking below key levels as ETF flows turned negative.
