Paradigm: ‘Bitcoin mining should be seen as a tool, not a threat’

Across the United States, rising electricity bills are sparking public protests against energy-intensive industries like data centers. While Bitcoin mining often faces blame, Paradigm argues it is misunderstood and unfairly targeted. In reality, Bitcoin consumes only 0.23% of global electricity and produces minimal emissions. In contrast, AI data centers are projected to significantly increase energy use by 2028. The key difference lies in flexibility: AI requires constant, uninterrupted power, straining the grid, while Bitcoin miners use cheap energy, shut down during high-demand periods, and even support grid stability. In Texas, Bitcoin mining reduced grid costs by 74% in one year. Recent data shows mining difficulty is decreasing, further reducing energy demands. Rather than a threat, Bitcoin mining can be a tool to balance and stabilize energy grids, especially as AI-driven demand grows.

Quantum Threat Behind Bitcoin’s Decline? Analyst Points To Google Search Data

Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, has highlighted a correlation between Bitcoin's price peak and a surge in Google searches for "Quantum Computing Bitcoin." Analysis of the data shows that public interest in the quantum computing threat to Bitcoin spiked significantly during the asset's recent bull run, suggesting that risk evaluation was at a maximum when the price was highest. Edwards posits that this awareness led to derisking, acting as a leading indicator for the subsequent price decline, stating "The Quantum threat drove Bitcoin down." While interest has decreased with the price drop, it remains elevated compared to earlier lows, indicating a higher baseline of concern. Analyst Willy Woo also noted that the long-term trend of Bitcoin's value against gold broke down as quantum computing risks entered public awareness. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $68,600.

Bitcoin Drops to $68K Amid Four-Week Slide, but Bullish Divergence Hints at $71K Test

Bitcoin (BTC) briefly reclaimed $70,000 over the weekend but has since dropped back toward $68,000, extending a four-week losing streak. Despite the downtrend, a bullish divergence in the RSI suggests potential for a short-term recovery, with $71,000 seen as a key resistance level to watch. Technical structure remains fragile, with support near $60,000–$65,000 where larger buyers accumulated. A break above $72,000 could open a path toward $75,000, while rejection may lead to a retest of $65,000 or lower. Macro uncertainty and seasonal factors like Chinese New Year add to market caution, though long-term holders remain confident.

Bitcoin Approaches Its 4-Year SMA On This Key Market Metric – Here’s What To Know

Bitcoin's price remains below $70,000, with analysts warning of a potential bear market as key metrics signal a continued correction. A critical indicator, the Bitcoin Daily Price Analysis with SMA Multiplier, shows BTC approaching its 4-year Simple Moving Average (SMA) near $57,500. Historically, this level has marked the final stage of bear markets, where Bitcoin becomes undervalued. Analysts note that the closer the price gets to this SMA, the more likely a structural bottom may form. However, current market behavior shows persistent selling pressure, keeping the cryptocurrency at a decisive point between long-term support and further downside.

Economist Says Bitcoin Is A Threat, But The Target Is Not Who You Think

Economist Peter Schiff criticizes Bitcoin, claiming it is a threat not to the global financial system but to investors who buy it. He argues Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value, comparing it to a Ponzi scheme, and advocates for gold and silver as superior inflation hedges. In response, crypto commentator Jeff Swanson contends that continued criticism from gold proponents signals Bitcoin's relevance and potential challenge to gold's monetary role. While Schiff predicts Bitcoin could fall to $10,000, Swanson acknowledges gold's persistence but expects it to gradually lose ground to Bitcoin over time.

BTC Market Pulse: Week 08

Bitcoin market conditions show tentative signs of stabilization after a deeply oversold period, though the overall sentiment remains defensive. Momentum has improved slightly, with reduced sell-side pressure and moderated ETF outflows. However, trading activity has declined significantly, and profitability for ETF holders is near cost basis, making them sensitive to volatility. Derivatives markets continue to reflect risk-off behavior, with leverage unwinding and funding rates cooling. Options markets suggest near-term risk may be underpriced. On-chain metrics indicate subdued network activity, negative capital flows, and persistent unrealized losses, aligning with a late-stage correction or early accumulation phase. While downside pressure has eased, a sustained recovery depends on renewed spot demand and broader market participation. Risk remains across spot, derivatives, and on-chain indicators, with cautious and selective investor behavior prevailing.

Metaplanet Loses $660M on Bitcoin — Can It Still Hit 1% Supply Target by 2027?

Metaplanet, a Japan-listed Bitcoin treasury firm, reported a significant unrealized loss of ¥102.2 billion (~$660 million) on its Bitcoin holdings for FY2025 due to year-end mark-to-market accounting adjustments under Japanese rules. Despite this, the company remains committed to its ambitious goal of accumulating 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply (approximately 210,000 BTC) by 2027. To achieve this, Metaplanet would need to acquire roughly 175,000 additional Bitcoin over the next two years, requiring substantial capital raises. The firm plans to use a leveraged accumulation model similar to Strategy, financing purchases through perpetual preferred securities. While executives express confidence in recurring revenue supporting further Bitcoin acquisitions, the strategy faces risks from Bitcoin's price volatility and potential constraints in capital markets.

Ric Edelman Says $500,000 Bitcoin Is ‘Simple Arithmetic’ By 2030

Ric Edelman, founder of Edelman Financial, predicts Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $500,000 by 2030, a forecast he calls "conservative" compared to more aggressive predictions. His reasoning is based on "simple arithmetic": if global investors allocate just 1% of the estimated $750 trillion in global stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, and cash to Bitcoin, it would result in $7.5 trillion of inflows. Combined with Bitcoin's existing value, this would push the price to around $500,000 per coin. He notes that institutional adoption is already beginning, with some allocations nearing 5%. Edelman also expressed bullishness on Ethereum (ETH), linking it to stablecoin growth and suggesting it could reach between $4,000 and $10,000.

Oldest Satoshi-era Bitcoin wallet buys $2B in BTC – What does it know?

A Satoshi-era Bitcoin wallet, renowned for its historically accurate market timing, has purchased 26,000 BTC (worth over $2 billion) following a failed attempt by Bitcoin to break the $70,000 resistance level. This move, occurring during a 3% price dip, is interpreted as a strong signal of long-term confidence rather than a reaction to short-term volatility. Analysts note this wallet has profited over $800 million since 2015 by consistently buying during market downturns. The purchase is strategically significant for two reasons: it reduces available supply on exchanges, creating a supply shock, and it reinforces a "buy the dip" mentality among large institutional investors. This activity is part of a broader trend of early Bitcoin holders reorganizing their holdings during periods of weakness, often marking important market turning points and establishing strong price support levels. The overarching message is that experienced long-term investors view current conditions as an accumulation opportunity, not a reason for panic.

Bitcoin: Fatigue selling rises, but market panic stalls – What’s next?

Bitcoin is trading near $68,700 after a 30% retracement, driven by profit-taking and ETF outflows, but the market shows controlled deleveraging rather than structural failure. The price remains well above the aggregate realized price of $54,900, preserving a profitability buffer. Long-term holders, with a cost basis near $40,600, continue to absorb sell pressure and tighten supply, preventing full capitulation. Recent entrants, however, remain underwater. Whale activity has intensified, with large holders repositioning strategically, contributing to sell-side pressure. Yet, residual demand has absorbed some supply, slowing downside momentum. The market is experiencing a mid-cycle compression phase with orderly redistribution, as forced selling meets passive absorption, building a base within the $55,000–$72,000 range.
