All about Peter Schiff’s latest jab at Bitcoin, Strategy, and Michael Saylor

Peter Schiff, a prominent Bitcoin critic, renewed his attacks on BTC and Michael Saylor's strategy, predicting a 92% decline to $10,000 by 2026. He dismissed Bitcoin’s value compared to traditional assets like gold and silver. His comments followed MicroStrategy’s Q1 2026 report of $14.5 billion in unrealized losses as Bitcoin fell 23%, its worst quarterly start since 2018. Despite this, MicroStrategy purchased 89,602 BTC, increasing its holdings to 766,970 BTC. On-chain metrics, including the Bitcoin SOPR hovering near 1 and a negative MVRV ratio, suggest the market is at breakeven and may be entering an accumulation phase, potentially indicating a trend reversal.

Cardano Founder Blasts Ripple For Playing Dirty With New CLARITY Act, Here’s What He Said

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has launched a direct attack against Ripple and its CEO Brad Garlinghouse, accusing them of engineering the CLARITY Act to shield Ripple’s interests while harming the broader crypto ecosystem. Hoskinson claims the bill, in its current form, would classify most digital assets as securities by default, forcing projects into a difficult regulatory process. He warns this could expose open-source developers to legal risks and remove protections for DeFi builders. He also criticized the XRP community, alleging years of propaganda have eroded critical thinking. Hoskinson has consistently opposed the bill, suggesting it unfairly benefits XRP. The probability of the CLARITY Act being signed into law has fallen to 51%, down from 78% in early March.

Sharplink’s 15,464 ETH staking milestone sparks fresh debates: Details

Sharplink has reached a significant milestone by earning 15,464 ETH (approximately $36 million) in staking rewards since launching its Ethereum treasury strategy. Unlike simply holding ETH, the firm stakes nearly all its 868,699 ETH to generate yield, creating a compounding effect. This approach differs from Bitmine, which holds a much larger amount of ETH (3.81% of total supply) but focuses on market presence rather than yield generation. The strategy has drawn criticism from some community members who argue that Sharplink is using staking to recover losses rather than attract new capital. Despite this, SharpLink’s stock has risen over 25% in the past month. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s price has seen mixed movement, with strong institutional demand through ETF inflows but conflicting on-chain signals. Ultimately, Sharplink’s model emphasizes reward accumulation over pure price appreciation, though some view it as a short-term recovery tactic rather than sustainable growth.

Crypto Isn’t A Cult: Why Vanity Fair’s ‘True Believers’ Piece Misses The Point

A recent Vanity Fair article portrays the crypto community as a cult of "true believers," depicting participants as naive, decadent, and out-of-touch zealots clinging to a failed dream. The piece uses dramatic photography and mocking captions—such as "the most expensive religion in the world"—to caricature industry figures as extravagant and unserious. The crypto community has pushed back strongly, arguing the article focuses on stereotypical "degenerate" personalities rather than the developers and contributors building real technological infrastructure and value. Critics note that legacy media often ignores the serious, technical side of crypto in favor of sensationalist narratives. Despite the article’s claim that crypto is dead, Bitcoin continues to trade at high values, underscoring the resilience and ongoing activity within the ecosystem. The response highlights a demand for more serious and nuanced coverage of the space.

Overnight, Crypto Moguls Were Severely Mocked by 'Vanity Fair'

Crypto industry leaders, including Cathie Wood (ARK Invest), Olaf Carlson-Wee (Polychain), and Michael Novogratz (Galaxy Digital), faced widespread mockery after a Vanity Fair cover story portrayed them in an unflattering light. The article, titled “Crypto’s True Believers Demand to Be Taken Seriously,” depicted the billionaires as eccentric and out-of-touch—highlighting their interests in alien life, extreme survivalism, and going barefoot, while questioning their influence on global power structures. Industry insiders criticized the piece for reinforcing negative perceptions. A former fashion photographer noted the deliberately demeaning composition of the photos, such as camera angles that diminished Wood’s stature and shadowy, unflattering shots of Novogratz. The coverage was seen as a deliberate attempt to ridicule the crypto elite rather than engage with the industry seriously. The incident sparked broader reflection: some argued that seeking validation from traditional media contradicts crypto’s original anti-establishment ethos. As one founder noted, “We weren’t built for Vanity Fair or Forbes. We were built to rebel against everything they represent.” The episode underscores the tension between crypto’s growing political influence and its struggle for cultural legitimacy.

Michael Saylor Rejects Boris Johnson’s Ponzi Scheme Claim on Bitcoin

Following criticism from former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who labeled Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a "giant Ponzi scheme," prominent advocates Michael Saylor and Eric Trump defended the digital asset. Johnson argued that cryptocurrency values depend on continuous new investor demand, comparing it to a scheme where early investors profit from later entrants. He shared an anecdote of a village investor who lost nearly £20,000 after initial promises of high returns. Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, rejected the Ponzi scheme claim, emphasizing Bitcoin's transparent monetary system, decentralized nature, and cryptographic verification. Eric Trump highlighted Bitcoin’s global adoption and resilience since 2009. Supporters point to Bitcoin’s limited supply of 21 million coins and its decentralized network as key strengths, contrasting with Johnson’s skepticism about its intrinsic value. The debate reflects ongoing global discussions about digital currency's role in finance.

‘Bitcoin is going to die,’ says Oscar-nominated actor Terrence Howard

Despite recent volatility, Bitcoin (BTC) stabilized around $68,522.50, showing weekly gains and approaching a key resistance level of $69,000–$70,000. Its market dominance also rose toward 60%, indicating relative strength. However, Oscar-nominated actor Terrence Howard expressed strong criticism on the PBD Podcast, stating, "Bitcoin is going to die," due to its tie to the U.S. dollar and vulnerability to systemic risks. The crypto community quickly rebutted his views, emphasizing Bitcoin’s resilience and historical cycle patterns. Meanwhile, weighted sentiment dropped sharply in early February, reflecting market fear, though analysts suggest geopolitical factors may dictate Bitcoin’s next major move.

TRON Founder Justin Sun and the SEC Reach a Settlement Deal

Justin Sun, founder of TRON, has reached a settlement with the U.S. SEC worth approximately $10 million to resolve a civil fraud case that was previously halted. The deal, which is pending court approval, would lead to the dismissal of charges against Sun, BitTorrent Foundation, and Tron Foundation. The SEC had accused them of illegally generating $31 million, manipulating trading volume, and concealing payments to celebrity endorsers. The case, initially filed in 2023, was paused in February 2025 to explore a resolution. The settlement has drawn criticism from Senator Elizabeth Warren, who questioned the SEC's impartiality. TRON's token price saw a slight increase following the news.

Vitalik's Rare Self-Criticism: Ethereum Missed the Truly Important Battlefield

In a rare self-critique, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin reflects on Ethereum’s limited role in addressing critical global issues such as government overreach, corporate power, surveillance, and digital warfare. While acknowledging the importance of financial freedom, he argues that a decentralized financial system alone cannot solve deeper societal problems. Instead, he proposes a new direction: building “sanctuary tech”—a resilient, open-source ecosystem that enables people to live, work, communicate, and collaborate with reduced dependence on centralized power. The goal is not to reshape the world in Ethereum’s image, but to create digital spaces that resist control and weaponization of interdependence. Buterin calls for Ethereum to focus on building tools for those who need digital refuge and to collaborate broadly within and beyond the crypto space to advance this vision.
