  • April 2: Bitcoin Holds Above $65K, Quantum Warnings Echo, and Drift Exploit Rocks Solana

    06:04|
    Crypto markets stabilize with Bitcoin above $65K and altcoins like SOL, ETH, and XRP posting stronger rebounds amid easing oil/geopolitical pressure. Google's quantum whitepaper lowers the qubit threshold for breaking crypto encryption (20x fewer resources), urging post-quantum upgrades by 2029 and boosting quantum-safe tokens. Drift suffers major Solana exploit (~$200M+), while regulatory progress continues on CLARITY Act and DAO laws. Institutional treasuries mixed (Metaplanet buys big), with April catalysts like tax flows and legislation in focus—markets show cautious recovery but remain sensitive to macro risks.
  • April 1: Google Quantum Paper Sparks Crypto Security Debate

    13:33|
    Bitcoin rebounds above $68K, ending a losing streak as geopolitical tensions ease and ETF inflows support sentiment. Google’s March 31 Quantum AI whitepaper dramatically lowers the qubit threshold for breaking crypto’s elliptic curve cryptography (20x fewer resources needed), accelerating calls for post-quantum upgrades by 2029 and boosting quantum-resistant tokens. Regulatory momentum from March (commodities classification, CLARITY Act progress) continues, alongside stablecoin growth forecasts. Markets show cautious optimism heading into April amid macro and tech risks.
  • CRAIG COBB: BITCOIN STILL FAILING WHERE IT MATTERS

    05:43|
    Craig’s not getting sucked in by a single green candle. Yeah, Bitcoin finally put in a strong week, up over 10%, but to him, that’s just one candle. That’s not a trend. And more importantly, it’s happening right into a level that already matters — old resistance turned support, now acting as resistance again. That same level also lines up with where the monthly trend broke. So this isn’t strength. This is a test.Check out Craig's trading course at: https://www.thegrowmeco.comFrom his perspective, nothing structurally has changed. The monthly trend is gone, and the highest timeframe he can rely on right now is the weekly — and that’s still a downtrend. Lower high, lower low. That’s the only thing that matters. Until that changes, he’s not interested in chasing upside.Could Bitcoin push higher from here? Sure. He even says $82K or higher isn’t out of the question. But that doesn’t mean he’s buying. In his system, rallies into resistance inside a downtrend are not opportunities to get long — they’re setups for pullbacks. And that’s exactly how he’s treating this move.Right now, Bitcoin is sitting in what he calls the “cradle zone,” where he’s built his trading career. This is where decisions get made. Either price breaks through with real momentum, or it rolls over and continues the downtrend. And until one of those happens cleanly, he’s waiting.Short-term, he’s only seeing real opportunity on lower timeframes — quick, high-liquidity trades where you can get in and out fast. The bigger picture still isn’t clean enough to commit capital in a meaningful way. It either needs to break higher and prove it, or sell off hard and create a real opportunity.Until then, nothing has changed. One green week doesn’t fix a broken structure.Happy HODLing
