FT Column: Bitcoin's 'La Haine' Moment - The Fall Doesn't Matter, the Landing Does

Bitcoin is experiencing its worst crash since 2022, plummeting toward $60,000 and erasing all gains made since Donald Trump’s re-election. The crypto community, known for its resilience and “cope” mentality, remains outwardly confident despite massive liquidations—over $1.25 billion in a single 24-hour period. Influential figures like Balaji Srinivasan and Michael Saylor continue to evangelize, citing political support and long-term optimism. However, the author argues that such faith is misplaced. Even with a pro-Bitcoin U.S. president and favorable policies, the sell-off persists, revealing the fragility of a market built purely on speculation and the “greater fool” theory. The piece draws a parallel to the film *La Haine*, using the metaphor of a falling man repeating “so far, so good” to illustrate the denial preceding an inevitable crash. The core question remains: when the faith vanishes and the fools run out, how will Bitcoin land?

Crypto VCs Pivot to AI: A 'Coming of Age' Ceremony Beginning with a Collapse of Belief

In a personal reflection, the author expresses sadness over Kyle Samani, a partner at crypto VC firm Multicoin Capital, publicly announcing his departure from the crypto industry to focus on AI, longevity tech, and robotics. Kyle was known for his thesis-driven, opinionated, and often controversial investment style—publicly criticizing Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, backing Solana early, and supporting DePIN projects like Helium. Despite mistakes (EOS, FTX exposure), he was transparent about losses and decisions. His exit feels symbolic: an honest, sharp voice leaving crypto. Before deleting the tweet, Kyle stated that crypto is primarily an asset ledger with limited use beyond finance, marking a shift from evangelist to realist—a “loss of faith” rather than just market loss. The author contrasts crypto’s current state—filled with memecoins, gambling, and technical debates—with AI’s rapid, tangible progress. Yet, they choose to stay, seeing crypto as a permissionless, open field for upward mobility and financial infrastructure innovation (e.g., stablecoins, DeFi, RWA), while remaining open to future possibilities.

Don't Delude Yourselves: Even If Binance Dies, The Industry Won't Be Better

Title: Don't Fantasize: The Industry Won't Be Better Even If Binance Dies Amid a weakening BTC price and a critical point for market confidence and liquidity, a wave of intense criticism is directed at Binance, with some blaming it for the market's woes and suggesting that its downfall would benefit the industry. However, a thought experiment exploring Binance's potential collapse concludes that the crypto industry would not improve but instead face severe consequences. Binance, as the largest global exchange with robust profitability and resilience, is unlikely to fail due to operational issues or competition. Potential collapse scenarios include catastrophic asset loss from hacks or unexpected events (e.g., similar to FTX or Bybit incidents) or severe regulatory crackdowns, particularly from U.S. authorities amid political shifts. If Binance were to fall, the aftermath would be devastating: 1. Users would suffer massive asset losses, with Binance's 307 million users (nearly half the crypto industry's estimated population) becoming creditors in a prolonged recovery process, akin to FTX's collapse. 2. Market instability would escalate: if assets are stolen, large-scale sell-offs could cause crashes worse than post-FTX; if assets are locked/destroyed, short-term spikes might occur, but institutional assets (e.g., Binance holds 3% of BTC supply) frozen would trigger chain reactions and multi-year liquidations. 3. Industry confidence would collapse, leading to stricter regulations (e.g., enforced KYC, proof-of-reserves), halted institutional adoption, and a shrinking ecosystem. Smaller exchanges might fail due to compliance costs and user loss, negating any "one falls, others rise" outcome. The narrative that Binance's demise would improve the industry is an emotional "blame-shifting" response to structural challenges like narrative exhaustion and liquidity issues. Binance's dominance results from long-term user and market choice, not chance. Its absence would likely cause more chaos and fragility, not progress. The real question isn't about removing Binance but finding new narratives to advance the industry forward.

Tether’s Fundraising Plans Quietly Collapse — Is the $500B Valuation Too Much?

Tether's ambitious plan to raise $15-20 billion at a $500 billion valuation has collapsed due to investor skepticism and market volatility. The company, issuer of the USDT stablecoin, saw a 23% drop in net profit to $10 billion in 2025, further dampening investor confidence. Amid a broader crypto market downturn and concerns over its valuation and revenue sustainability, Tether has scaled back its fundraising ambitions. The firm is now testing appetite for a smaller raise but maintains its $500 billion target, which critics deem overly ambitious. The failure to secure commitments signals a significant setback for its expansion into AI, commodities, and energy infrastructure.

Six Years Later: If Soros Wanted to Destroy Bitcoin, How Would He Do It?

Six years later, revisiting the question: How would George Soros attack Bitcoin? Amid a decade of market euphoria and relentless bullish sentiment, few have seriously considered the possibility of a true Bitcoin collapse—or what it might look like. Die-hard proponents preaching “perpetual bull market” rarely entertain such scenarios, while simplistic bearish narratives also fail to offer a nuanced perspective. The article invites a deeper reflection on systemic vulnerabilities and speculative dynamics, suggesting that a sophisticated attack on Bitcoin—akin to Soros’s legendary financial maneuvers—would likely exploit structural, psychological, and liquidity weaknesses rather than relying on mere criticism or superficial short-selling.

The Watershed of Gold Certificates: The Collapse of Jierui and the Fundamental Differences with Tether

A significant divergence in the model of gold-backed platforms is highlighted by the collapse of Jierui in China and the expansion of Tether’s gold-backed stablecoin, XAUT. In late January, Jierui, a Shenzhen-based gold trading platform, failed amid a liquidity crisis. Users faced severe withdrawal restrictions, with many unable to access funds despite holding substantial gold and cash balances. The platform offered unfavorable settlement terms, exposing a classic model of unregulated financial risk. Jierui’s core flaw was its use of high-leverage “pre-set price” trading, where users bet on gold price movements against the platform—effectively an unhedged options market. When gold prices rose sharply in 2025–2026, the platform faced unsustainable liabilities, triggering a collapse. In contrast, Tether Gold (XAUT) operates on a fully reserved, 1:1 model—each token represents one ounce of physical gold, held in reserve. With over 140 tons of gold, Tether has become one of the world’s top gold holders. Its transparent, asset-backed approach has allowed it to thrive amid gold price appreciation, with its gold reserves gaining over $5 billion in value. Tether is further expanding its gold acquisitions and leveraging market opportunities through professional trading. While Jierui’s failure underscores the risks of opaque, leveraged structures, Tether’s growth demonstrates how digitized, verifiable gold assets can serve as a resilient store of value—especially in an era of geopolitical and financial uncertainty.

You Can Turn Everything into a Meme, But Cherish This Cathedral

The article "You Can Turn Everything into a Meme, But Cherish This Cathedral" reflects on the crisis of values in the crypto industry, contrasting its original vision as a "cathedral" of innovation and idealism with its current state as a speculative "casino." It begins with the story of Peter Steinberger, the developer behind the open-source AI project Clawd bot, who was harassed by crypto speculators after they launched a meme token (CLAWD) without his consent and blamed him for its crash. The piece traces the industry’s shift from its early ideals—exemplified by Dogecoin’s community-driven generosity and the constructive ethos of DeFi Summer—to the speculative frenzy fueled by pandemic-era liquidity. This transition enabled the rise of "the tyranny of the mob," where communities driven by financial gain rather than shared values began to target creators, including Dogecoin’s Billy Markus and Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin, who faced moral coercion and harassment. In 2025, 11.6 million crypto projects failed, highlighting the scale of speculative abuse and the industry’s meme-driven degradation. This culture harms builders, distorts leadership, deters serious investment, and invites harsh regulatory scrutiny. The article concludes by urging a return to the original mission of crypto—building a fair, decentralized future—before the echoes of casino culture drown out the cathedral’s bells for good.

Ray Dalio Warns: History Is Repeating Itself, How Far Are We from Total Collapse?

Ray Dalio warns that the U.S. and global order are nearing a full-scale collapse, transitioning from Stage 5 (pre-collapse) to Stage 6 (active collapse) of his "Big Cycle" framework. Key drivers include severe wealth inequality, unsustainable debt, and intense political polarization. Historical patterns—like the 1930–1945 period—show that such conditions often lead to internal conflict, revolution, or civil war. Dalio identifies classic markers of collapse: government financial stress, loss of truth in public discourse, rising populism, and the erosion of rule-based systems. The recent killings of ICE protesters in Minneapolis exemplify escalating violence and state-federal tensions, signaling potential movement toward civil conflict. He emphasizes that without collaborative, productivity-focused reforms—rather than divisive policies—the system risks irreversible breakdown. The path forward requires leaders who prioritize broad prosperity over partisan victory, but the current trajectory suggests increasing fragility and conflict.

Silver surged roughly 165% in 2025 and continues to hit record highs in early 2026, driven by industrial demand from green energy and electronics sectors. Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff warns that Bitcoin is poised for a catastrophic collapse mirroring silver’s rally—but in reverse. He argues Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value and is driven by speculation, unlike silver which has tangible utility. Crypto supporters dismiss his warning, citing Schiff’s long history of failed Bitcoin predictions. While silver benefits from supply shortages and real-world demand, Bitcoin faces macro pressures and has struggled to sustain breakouts despite brief rallies. The debate between traditional asset advocates and crypto believers continues amid market uncertainty.

Industry Expert Predicts Complete Bitcoin Collapse – Here’s The Timeframe

Justin Bons, founder and CIO of CyberCapital, predicts Bitcoin could face a total collapse within the next 7 to 11 years. He argues that Bitcoin’s security model is fundamentally flawed due to its halving mechanism, which reduces block rewards for miners every four years. As rewards decline, miner revenue decreases, undermining the economic incentives that secure the network. Bons contends that rising hashrate does not equate to stronger security, as improved mining efficiency lowers the cost of potential attacks. He warns that within two to three halving cycles, the cost of executing a 51% attack could become economically viable, especially through double-spend attacks on exchanges. Without increasing Bitcoin’s fixed supply—a highly contentious change—the network may eventually become vulnerable to collapse.
