How’s your portfolio holding up today, fam? TradFi is bleeding as the Dow dropped 800 pts (-1.7%) on Trump’s 15% tariff hike. 🦅 AI fears also nuked IBM (-13%) and CrowdStrike (-10%) after Anthropic's new Claude Code Security shook the software sector.
$BTC ( ▼ 0.79% ) was dumping below $63K in a $60B "algo dump" that wiped $130M in longs. 🤡 It's messy, but chances are it’s just a dip near highs.

Here’s what we got for you today:
👀 Why I bought these tokens in peak fear
⭐ BTC loses $63K. Miners are dumping
⭐ Gaza as a crypto project?
🔥 Burning hot takes for the road

The market vibe is at an all-time low, but while retail is panic-selling their bags, the "Smart Money" is looking at the math. The secret? High-revenue protocols are currently being priced like they make zero dollars. If you can stomach the red charts, we’re sitting on a massive disconnect between price and reality.
Inside this blog, we’ll breakdown:
The February 22 proposal that could choke off sell pressure and turn $JUP ( ▼ 1.01% ) into a clean, high-conviction play.
Meet the project that institutions are using to borrow against crypto legally - and why I’m waiting for one specific price target before pulling the trigger.
💡 Our Secret: July 2026 is a "danger zone" date you need to circle on your calendar. We explain why a specific unlock could ruin the party for one of these top picks. 👇

🩸 BTC LOSES $63K — MINERS ARE DUMPING. IS $60K NEXT?
Fam, this isn’t just another red candle. $BTC ( ▼ 0.79% ) just lost $63,000, and the pressure building underneath the market is very real. This is structural stress.
1/ Miners are in full capitulation mode
We’re now seeing the longest uninterrupted miner capitulation stretch year-on-year — 46 straight days of net selling. Miners aren’t stacking. They’re distributing.

And it makes sense. Network revenue has collapsed. Monthly transaction fees dropped from 194 BTC last May… to just 65 BTC this month. That’s nearly a 66% income wipeout.
When revenue drops and price corrects, miners don’t diamond-hand. They sell reserves to survive.
→ That steady supply drip is heavy.
2/ Institutions aren’t absorbing the sell pressure
Normally you’d hope ETFs step in here. They’re not. Spot BTC ETFs just recorded six consecutive weeks of outflows — the longest streak since launch. Big money is reducing exposure, not adding risk.

That removes the demand cushion right when supply is rising. Not ideal.
3/ $60K is the battlefield
Technically, $BTC ( ▼ 0.79% ) just formed a head-and-shoulders pattern on lower timeframes. The neckline? Right around $60,000. (That level also aligns with previous February support)
If $60K holds → we likely see stabilization and a relief bounce.
If $60K breaks → the measured move targets ~$54,800… which sits almost perfectly at Bitcoin’s realized price (~$54.7K).
And historically? Realized price is where deep corrections love to land.

🧠 So what’s my take?
This is a supply-heavy market right now. Miners are selling. ETFs are bleeding. Macro sentiment is fragile. $60K decides the next chapter.
Hold it — this becomes a violent shakeout before continuation.
Lose it — we probably revisit deeper liquidity before the real reset.
For bulls, reclaiming $63.3K then $65.4K is the first sign momentum is flipping back.
Until then? This is not leverage season. This is patience season. Stay sharp, fam…

🧨 GAZA AS A CRYPTO PROJECT? TRUMP’S “BOARD OF PEACE” WEIGHS A USD STABLECOIN
If you had "Gaza launching a stablecoin" on your 2026 bingo card, go ahead and collect your winnings. We’re seeing a wild intersection of geopolitics and blockchain right now that could change how we think about "nation-building" forever. 🤯
Trump’s Board of Peace is reportedly looking into a US dollar-backed stablecoin to reboot Gaza’s flattened economy.
1/ Banking without the banks
Let’s be real, Gaza’s traditional banking system is currently non-existent. ATMs are gone, and physical cash is harder to find than a 100x memecoin in a bear market.
The Board (led by Trump, Marco Rubio, and even Tony Blair) wants to bypass the rubble by using digital dollars. Instead of waiting years to rebuild brick-and-mortar banks, they want to airdrop financial infrastructure directly onto people’s phones.

2/ The new way to send aid
By using a stablecoin, the Board can facilitate aid delivery and salaries with surgical precision.
→ In theory, this kills corruption. No middleman can "tax" the cash or lose it in a back alley. It’s transparent, instant, and tied to the USD, which provides actual stability for a population that’s lost everything.
3/ Total control or total freedom?
Now, here is the part where the privacy maxis start sweating. A stablecoin governed by an international "technocratic administration" means zero privacy.
→ If every transaction is on-chain and controlled by the Board, they have a "God Mode" switch over the entire economy. They can track where every cent goes and, in theory, freeze the "wallets" of anyone they don't like. It’s the ultimate double-edged sword: financial access vs. total financial surveillance.
🧠 This is a massive moment for the industry…
If this works, it proves that stablecoins are the "Plan B" for broken states. But we have to ask: is this financial freedom or a digital cage?
Using 2G networks to run a crypto-economy is a tall order, and separating Gaza’s economy even further from the West Bank is a political minefield. I’m bullish on the tech helping people in need, but I’m cautious about who holds the private keys to an entire nation's survival.
