Hot jobs and post-midterm gridlock harden the case for tighter Fed policy
|
|
AP’s weekend macro wrap says a strong October jobs report, sticky inflation and divided government could leave the Federal Reserve freer to stay focused on price stability. For Bitcoin, higher odds of another hike keep dollar strength and restrictive financial conditions in play just as ETF flows have turned negative.

House Democrats target Iran war, tariffs and AI data-center guardrails
|
|
Incoming House Democratic leaders said early votes will target ending the Iran war, reversing some tariffs and boosting healthcare support, while lawmakers also promised AI and data-center legislation. That agenda could alter oil prices, fiscal fights and the AI buildout that has been tightly linked to recent moves in bitcoin, miners and tech-linked risk assets.

Binance begins Europe user offboarding as MiCA licensing gap turns costly
|
|
CoinDesk reports Binance users in several EU countries were told to withdraw assets before monthly fees begin on Nov. 29, with affected accounts set to close on Dec. 31. The move shows how costly Binance’s still-missing MiCA license has become and underscores Europe’s growing leverage over global exchange access.

Gnosis Pay breach exposes wallets, addresses and card data in one leak
|
|
CoinDesk reports a breach at Gnosis Pay exposed names, home addresses, card numbers and linked wallet addresses, though the firm said customer funds were not touched. The leak is especially sensitive because it ties real-world identities to on-chain holdings, raising the risk of targeted phishing, extortion and physical-security threats.

Finnish startup turns bitcoin miners into home heating, if BTC stays high
|
|
CoinDesk profiled a Finnish startup that has 30 bitcoin-mining heating systems warming homes and commercial buildings, with current BTC prices roughly offsetting power costs. It is a niche development, but it speaks to the post-halving mining race to monetize waste heat and improve economics outside traditional data-center models.

200+ Proven Ways to Make Money With AI in 2026
The next wave of millionaires will be people who figured out how to make AI work for them.
The window to get ahead is still open. But not for long.
Sign up for Superhuman AI, the free daily newsletter read by 1M+ professionals, and get instant access to all 200+ ways to profit from AI this year.
Three ideas just hit the Bitcoin dev mailing list to address the quantum threat.
Quantum Landmines: Owners hide a proof in advance. Anyone moving old coins must lock up the same amount as collateral for weeks. If the real owner shows up with the proof, they keep their coins and take the collateral.
Staked Auction: Others stake their own BTC on exposed wallets in advance, with a hidden bid. If those coins are moved, an auction opens and the stakers can claim the mover’s collateral.
Sats Auction: No staking needed. Every move of an old coin opens an auction. The highest bidder takes the coins minus their bid, and the runner-up loses theirs.
Landmines require the owner to act. But what happens to the Bitcoin in wallets associated with Satoshi if no one can?
The auction ideas try to answer that, each in a very different way.
But none of them is decided. None of them is part of Bitcoin yet.
For now, 1,096,361 BTC still sits exactly where Satoshi left it.
Bitcoin needs more proposals like these, and more people paying attention to the quantum threat.
That attention won’t come by waiting.
So we crack first, and make the whole world watch.
Join the Crack.
No one enters Satoshi wallet before us.
1,096,361.

$BTC has literally never made a new low after forming a weekly HH.
Of course, that’s based on BTC having already impulsed from the bottom.
So, based on history, this next low should be a HL. BTC is already down 14%, and HTF market structure has shifted, so it’s likely we’re close to forming one.
If we somehow make a new LL after forming a weekly HH, I’ll probably deactivate my account.😂

This is the woman who just caused a $3 Trillion market crash.
One post. Threatening the entire AI industry (and Elon Musk). And Wall Street panic sold.
Meet Yassamin Ansari.
The youngest female member of Congress.
Most traders had never heard her name. Until today.
Until her post went viral on X.
She called for a "pause on advanced AI development" as a day 1 priority.
That's it. One post. But a devastating threat to AI and the markets.
The timing made it worse.
Tuesday's election flipped control of both chambers of Congress.
Traders were already nervous that a new Congress could slow the AI market boom.
Her post lit the fire.
Then the markets crashed:
- Nasdaq -6%, the largest single-day drop in 6 years
- Chip index down over 10%
- Nvidia -8%
- Micron and AMD down double digits
- VIX up over 50%, highest since March
- $BTC dropped to a three-month low
But she wasn’t done there.
She went on to direct a tweet @elonmusk saying “see you soon”.
Another worrying ‘promise’ for the future.
Bur here’s the twist.
No bill has been officially introduced.
Nothing has changed in law. Only in fear.
It’s simple ‘words’ that has everyone worried.
And the markets prices in this fear straight away.
So where do we go from here?
Was this a simple panic sell event?
Or is this more worrying, and the start of a deeper market correction?
