The U.S. and Iran agreed on a roadmap toward a final peace deal within 60 days, helping Brent crude slide to about $79 a barrel and lifting Asian equities. Bitcoin hovered around $64,000 instead of joining the broader risk rally, underscoring that crypto sentiment remains fragile even as energy-market stress eases.
After the U.S.-Iran peace treaty eased immediate energy stress, traders turned their attention to Kevin Warsh's new Fed framework and Thursday's core PCE print. Bitcoin has stabilized above $64,000, but tighter liquidity and a still-hawkish rates backdrop remain major obstacles to any durable rebound in risk appetite.
Bitcoin rose about 1.4% from midnight UTC, but analysts said it remains trapped between support near $60,000 and resistance around $66,000 to $68,000. Options and other derivatives still lean defensive, suggesting traders see the move as a relief bounce rather than the start of a sustained trend change.
Bitcoin developers are pushing to remove explicit replace-by-fee signaling from wallets because full-RBF is now standard policy and the old flag mainly reveals which software created a transaction. A shared default could make transactions harder to classify across wallet providers and modestly improve privacy on-chain.

If You Have $50k+ on Coinbase, Read This
If you're a digital asset investor with over $50k on Coinbase, this might ruin your day.
Every time you buy Bitcoin, Coinbase takes a cut. Every time you sell, Coinbase takes a cut. When you panic sell at the bottom — cut. When you FOMO buy at the top — cut.
They don't care if digital assets go to the moon or zero. They collect either way.
Visa made $36 billion last year being a middleman. Mastercard made $28 billion. PayPal made $30 billion.
Nearly $100 billion from three companies that don't produce anything — they just sit between two parties and collect.
The middleman always wins.
Tan Gera, CFA Charterholder and ex-Wall Street banker, built the ABN System — a three-phase wealth generating system inspired by BlackRock and used by 4,000+ investors.
At it’s core is fee generation.
Up market, down market, sideways — you collect regardless.

. @saylor explains why @Strategy's real business isn't Bitcoin - it's selling credit to people who want the upside without the bumpy ride
"We're like a reserve bank. We have a reserve asset - Bitcoin. We will sell credit. We are stripping the performance and the risk off of the bitcoin."
"Bitcoin's got 40 vol and it's got high performance. But most of the world wants zero vol. What they want is a bank account that pays them 10 or 11%."
"For every dollar of equity capital of Bitcoin that we have - digital capital - you can create 10 to $0.20 of credit. We've sold about $10 billion of credit. We'll create $20 billion of digital credit over the next year, then grow that 30 to 50% a year."

Bitcoin hit 100K 1.5 years ago. Just judging by this graph, the doubling time to 200K should be in the next 6 months or so. https://t.co/nOGDijgU5g

In 1997, a British cryptographer named Adam Back was trying to solve something boring: email spam.
His fix was called Hashcash. To send a message, your computer had to burn a tiny bit of real work first. Cheap if you sent a few emails. Ruinously expensive if you wanted to blast out a million. Proof, in math, that effort had actually been spent.
No coin. No company. Just a way to make a digital action cost something real.
Eleven years later a whitepaper appeared with a short citation list. Hashcash was on it. Satoshi had taken Back's anti-spam tool and made it the heartbeat of a monetary network. The same "work" that once filtered junk mail now secures every Bitcoin block, making the ledger astronomically expensive to rewrite or fake.
Here's the lesson. The tools that end up protecting your freedom rarely show up dressed as freedom. They start small, practical, almost dull. Someone solving spam quietly built the engine of sound money.
Adam Back @adam3us wasn't trying to change the world. He was trying to stop junk mail. That's usually how it starts.
