Bitcoin is holding $80,000 for now. As long as it stays above this level, don't panic. Even if it drops to $78,000, there's no need to worry yet. If these levels break, we'll see what to do next. For now, focus on scalping.

CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis, sworn in February 2025, made these remarks on Anthony Pompliano's podcast, emphasizing that address-to-person linkage allows disruption of illicit use while calling Bitcoin a lasting tool and positive trend amid institutional adoption.

Nine crypto companies just agreed on something rare: the exposure is real. They disagree on almost everything else. @1096361BTC The newly formed Quantum Alliance — including Hacken, Charles Hoskinson’s Midnight Foundation, Quantus, and Postquant Labs among nine total members — unveiled itself this week with a shared number: 6.4 million BTC, about 30.2% of supply, already has its public keys exposed. That includes Satoshi’s estimated 1.1 million BTC. Nobody can take those coins today; no existing machine is close. The Alliance’s actual job is writing shared security standards and migration tests across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other chains. Where it gets interesting is the fight inside the agreement. Postquant Labs’ CTO thinks 2028 is a realistic date for a capable quantum machine. The Vault’s CRO says the date is genuinely unknown, just that every estimate keeps shrinking. Quantus’s CEO put the stakes bluntly: whoever builds the first cryptographically relevant quantum computer first could simply take the exposed coins. The deeper split isn’t about timing — it’s about remedy. One camp wants vulnerable coins moved into some kind of trust structure, where provable owners can later reclaim them. The other camp calls freezing coins a Bitcoin-network governance decision, not an industry one, and warns that any freeze sets a precedent on property rights the whole system was built to avoid. That’s the same fight Changpeng Zhao and Jameson Lopp have been having in public for months, just formalized into an actual coalition now. Nine companies agreeing on the exposure number and splitting three ways on the fix is honestly a more useful signal than another doom timeline. It tells you the technical question is basically settled. The governance question — freeze, migrate, or do nothing and let whoever’s fastest win — is still wide open, and that’s the part that actually determines what happens to every exposed Satoshi-era coin this whole MemeBitcoin race is built around.

Companies have added 193,000 bitcoin this year while individual holders sold about 93,000, and corporate treasuries now hold 1.64 million coins That buying pace beats new miner supply, yet bitcoin:native is still stuck near 81,900 Who blinks first, the sellers or the treasuries?

Bitcoin wicked down to 80,800 early this morning and bitcoin:native already bought it back to 81,450 Ethereum is still the weaker one near 2,400 after a dip to 2,357, and ethereum:native needs 2,450 back to change the mood Sunday squeeze higher or one more sweep of the lows?

BREAKING: $BTC just fell to 81,000 while $ETH dropped below $2,400. Over $115 million worth of longs liquidated in the past 60 minutes. Even on the weekend we see a leverage flush…
