Bitcoin is struggling to regain momentum below the $88,000 level as fear and uncertainty continue to weigh on market sentiment. After a volatile selloff, price action remains compressed near key support, with buyers hesitant to step in aggressively and sellers pressing rallies at lower levels. While attention has largely focused on derivatives pressure and macro risk, on-chain signals are now adding another layer of concern to the current setup. Top analyst Darkfost points to a critical indicator of Bitcoin’s underlying network health: the hashrate, which measures the total computing power securing the network and reflects overall mining activity. Under normal conditions, a sharp decline in hashrate suggests that miners are voluntarily shutting down machines, often due to unprofitability or stress—typically associated with miner capitulation phases near market lows. That is exactly the type of move unfolding now. Over just two days, Bitcoin’s hashrate has dropped dramatically, fallin...

XRP’s price action has been quiet in the past few days , with the majority of recent trading sessions spent trading just below and above $1.9.  Interestingly, one analyst noted that the altcoin’s price action has already done most of the heavy lifting needed for a trend reversal after weeks of controlled downside and repeated reactions around descending resistance. The remaining question, according to the analysis, is whether price confirms what the structure is already suggesting. Reset By Liquidations And Whale Activity Technical view of XRP’s price action shared by a crypto analyst known as CW on the social media platform X begins with a reset in market positioning. Most of the long positions that were accumulated during its earlier rally to $2.40 in the first week of January have been cleared, and this has removed excess leverage. Interestingly, that liquidation phase has coincided with the XRP price tagging the lower boundary of a descending channel structure on the 4-ho...

Does anyone know where to find the old BitCoinJ version 0.1 and 0.2 and 0.3 But I believe 0.3 with a release date of november 25 2011 is to new because bitcoincore 0.4.0 was released with wallet encryption Why I wan't those old versions is because I want to understand how they encrypted the raw private key and how they made that visible in windows 7/8 because bitcoin 0.3.24 didn't use dumpprivkey and had no debug option And if/how they would handle mined btc because I have a string starting with 3C and after that 32 characters, I believe utf-8, a address starting with a 3 was operational with bip0016 in 2012 and I mined before that so that 3C would be a xml < what I believe is a cyphertext and then aes-128-cbc or 256-cbc, so I would like to learn how my secret key of 16 characters fit in with that, in the period of openssl 0.9.8* I know Mike Hearn, Sipa and Schildbach where the main programmers back then https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj/commits/8809872a3212e12c8d71f97d6...

The crypto market is facing a critical stress test as Bitcoin and Ethereum lose ground, signaling a broader shift in global risk appetite. After weeks of choppy consolidation, downside pressure is intensifying, and traders are watching closely to see whether this move develops into a deeper correction or stabilizes into a new base. At the same time, capital flows are becoming more selective, with crypto struggling to attract conviction while money rotates toward assets perceived as more stable in the current macro environment. The global risk map is being redrawn. What feels like an earthquake in financial markets is revealing a historic capital migration—one that is actively reshaping what investors define as safety versus danger. While the traditional pillars of the US economy show visible strain and the dollar’s dominance as an unquestioned refuge begins to weaken, the market’s response has not been a rush into digital alternatives. Instead, the immediate bid has been distinctly tr...

Entropy, a startup that tried to build a safer way to hold and move crypto, is shutting down and sending most money back to investors. The company’s leader said the business could not reach the size investors wanted. Reports say the team will return roughly $25–$27 million that had been put into the project. What Happened To Entropy According to reports , Entropy began with tools for decentralized custody aimed at big holders who wanted more control. Over time the group changed course and tried to build automation features that would make crypto workflows easier. The company raised capital from well-known backers, including Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase Ventures. It ran for about four years and weathered two rounds of layoffs as the team tested different ideas. In a Saturday post on X, Entropy founder and CEO Tux Pacific said the crypto automation platform has reached the end of the road after years of trying to find a workable future. I am winding-up Entropy. After four ...
