But with those issues partly resolved, he argued that a different criticism became harder to ignore: that Ethereum's public values around decentralization, privacy and "sanctuary technology" were not always reflected strongly enough in the foundation's actions. The result, according to Buterin, is a transition toward a foundation that does less, but does it with more conviction. He described the EF as "one node, with a defined purpose, alongside other nodes," rather than Ethereum's central coordinating
body.

Bitcoin’s hard-money thesis is colliding with 5% Treasury yields
The bond market was supposed to be Bitcoin's origin story, not its daily price driver. And yet here we are in May 2026, watching crypto traders refresh yield curves on a Saturday morning.

Bitcoin was created as a response to the kind of debt-financed monetary disorder now playing out across global bond markets. The original thesis was that when governments borrowed recklessly and debased their currencies, hard-money assets would absorb the resulting demand.

What that thesis left unresolved is the possibility that the debt spiral could tighten financial conditions strong enough to suppress speculative assets before the hard-money argument has time to play out.

In 2026, the long-term narrative and the short-term mechanics are running in opposite directions, and understanding why requires spending a few minutes with the most consequential number in global finance right now.

On May 20, the 30-year Treasury yield reached 5.18%. A $25 billion auction of new 30-year bonds on May 13 was awarded at 5.046%, the first time investors have received 5% on the long bond since 2007, driven by surging energy prices and rising expectations that inflation could prove more durable than markets assumed.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Final Shock Coming Towards $60K?

In the current crypto market everyone's praying for that crazy upside moonshot, but the charts? They're telling a different bedtime story. Especially, the Bitcoin price analysis clearly reveals we're dancing on a knife's edge, and the music's about to stop. The structure looks fragile, the momentum's fading, and the bulls are running out of runway fast. Just recently analysts Crypto Dan shared that the SOPR metric is flatlining right at 1.00. That's break-even city, folks. Short-term holders aren't booking profits; they're just praying to get out alive without bleeding red. Historically, we need those nasty dips below 0.94 to really wash out the weak hands and reset the market properly.

Quick overview

Silver is currently priced at $77.48, showing a 1.66% bounce and solid technical rebound amid a short-term supply deficit.

The global silver market is expected to face its sixth consecutive annual deficit, with a projected shortfall of 46.3 million troy ounces by 2026.

Demand for silver remains strong due to investments in green energy technologies, despite some regional industrial slowdowns.

A bullish trade setup is identified, with entry opportunities above $77.80 and targets set at $78.79 and $80.69.

Silver at $77.48 is exhibiting good structural hardness with a 1.66% bounce, consolidating in a short-term base. With the greenback softening locally, due to a more hawkish macro, the white metal has a very well-structured technical rebound on a blue channel uptrend to a deteriorating physical shortfall situation.
