A new national poll from Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that nearly two-thirds of Israelis oppose the Iran ceasefire brokered by Pakistan between the United States and Iran. The survey, the first conducted after the truce was announced, shows the Israeli public is sharply divided on whether their government should honor the agreement or resume military strikes against Iran.Of those surveyed, 39 percent believe Israel should press forward with attacks on Iran, while 41 percent support respecting the ceasefire. Another 19 percent remain undecided. The poll sampled 1,312 Israeli adults between April 9 and 10, carrying a margin of error of 3.2 percent.The ceasefire has paused U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, but fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon continues unabated. Israeli forces have maintained heavy bombardment in Lebanon, resulting in significant civilian casualties, while Hezbollah has kept firing rockets into northern Israeli towns. Weekend negotiations in Islamabad failed to produce a wider agreement to end the broader conflict.On the Lebanon front, over 61 percent of Israelis believe the ceasefire should not be extended to cover the war with Hezbollah — a position that directly conflicts with one of Iran's central demands in ongoing diplomatic talks with Washington.The poll also signals political trouble for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces a national election due by October. His approval has slipped since the Iran conflict began, with 34 percent of Israelis now preferring him as prime minister compared to 40 percent at the war's outset. Most existing polls suggest he is on track to lose.With a fragile truce and no comprehensive deal in sight, Israeli officials have reportedly concluded that a prolonged, multi-front conflict across the Middle East may be unavoidable.Gold is meant to be a ‘safe haven’ in uncertain times.

Saylor's Strategy Goes Big Again With Massive $1B Bitcoin Buy Via STRC; $80K BTC Breakout In Sight?

Michael Saylor's Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy has added another $1 billion worth of Bitcoin to its holdings, with the latest purchase financed through its STRC preferred stock offering.

Strategy snatched up an additional 13,927 Bitcoin for roughly $1 billion at an average price of $71,902 per coin between April 6 and April 12, according to a Monday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission-marking its fourth-largest weekly purchase so far this year.

The latest purchase lifts the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based firm's total stash to 780,897 BTC, accumulated for roughly $59.02 billion at an average cost basis of $75,577. For context, that represents more than 3.7% of Bitcoin's capped 21 million supply, implying about $3.6 billion in unrealized losses at current price levels.

Strategy funded its latest purchases by selling over 10 million shares of its variable-rate preferred shares, STRC, last week, raising about $1 billion.

Bitcoin Mining and AI Head in Opposite Directions, Says Alex Thorn
"If local models keep getting smaller, cheaper, and more efficient, AI may become increasingly personal and on-device," he said.
Bitcoin mining has grown steadily more centralized over time, while artificial intelligence may be moving the other way, according to Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn.

Thorn noted that BTC mining started with individuals running software on personal computers but has since shifted to industrial-scale operations requiring ASIC hardware and large energy infrastructure. AI, by contrast, began in centralized data clusters and may decentralize as open-source models become lighter and cheaper to run locally. "If local models keep getting smaller, cheaper, and more efficient, AI may become increasingly personal and on-device," he said.

The divergence matters for crypto's foundational promise. Thorn said that if BTC mining continues to concentrate among fewer, larger operators, it could raise concerns about the network's long-term resilience to political or regulatory shocks.

Crypto exchange KuCoin reported on Friday that mining BTC has become increasingly unviable in parts of the United States, with costs exceeding $100,000 per coin in some regions due to rising energy prices. This is driving hash rate toward lower-cost jurisdictions, with Paraguay and Ethiopia emerging as leading destinations because of surplus hydroelectric power.

KuCoin said this geographic shift could strengthen the network by making it less dependent on any single country's political or environmental conditions. Spreading mining infrastructure across continents reduces concentration risk even as the overall industry consolidates around industrial-scale players.

On the AI side, edge computing is the primary driver of potential decentralization.

How the Iran War is Repricing Bitcoin

The Iran War is bringing trustless payments back to the forefront. The market is reacting.
Since the U.S. and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, 2026, markets have had to wrestle with the financial and economic implications. The IEA described the disruption through Hormuz as the largest supply shock in the history of the global oil market. The strait normally carries about a quarter of maritime oil trade and is involved in about a fifth of global petroleum liquids consumption. 
The Strait of Hormuz is obviously a physical chokepoint. However, trade also depends on a monetary chokepoint. Cross-border payments usually move through correspondent banks, intermediary banks, screening layers, and trade-finance channels. Correspondent banking is an essential part of the global payment system for cross-border transactions, which involve a chain of linked correspondent banks. When that chain is stressed, settlement risk rises alongside freight and energy risk. 

That is what this war has forced markets to confront. Reuters reported on April 9 that ship traffic through Hormuz was running at well below 10% of normal volumes, with just seven ships crossing in the prior 24 hours against roughly 140 normally. Iran’s posture around routing, permissions, and possible tolls made clear that access has become conditional. 

Once trade access becomes conditional in the physical corridor, the other lever to pull is the monetary one. Here’s some important context. 

OFAC prohibits U.S. banks from operating correspondent accounts for Iranian banks. In August 2025, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned the developer of Iran’s Cross-Border Interbank Messaging System, saying it had been built to let Iran and its partners route around controls on more widely used payment systems and to facilitate ties with foreign banks, including...
