Balchunas’s comment comes as the Bitcoin vs Zcash debate intensifies. Arman Meguerian, founder and CEO of Timestamp, dismissed the idea that BTC supporters are pivoting to Zcash. “I don't know a single Bitcoin maxi that thinks about Zcash at all,” he wrote on X.

A lack of conviction among "weak" hands will cause new Bitcoin holders to dump at the first sign of trouble, worsening market drawdowns. The transfer of Bitcoin (BTC) from long-term holders, also known as “OGs,” to “weak” hands will cause future drawdowns to be more severe, according to gold investor and economist Peter Schiff. Bitcoin is “finally having its IPO moment,” Schiff said on Saturday, adding that there is now enough liquidity in the Bitcoin market for long-term holders to cash out.  “This much Bitcoin moving from strong to weak hands not only increases the float, but also means future selloffs will be bigger,” Schiff added.

A solo Bitcoin miner earned 3.146 BTC worth $266,000 with a computing power of only 1.2 TH/s, beating massive odds. A solo Bitcoin miner hit the jackpot on Friday, earning 3.146 BTC, worth roughly $266,000, after solving block 924,569 with only a tiny fraction of the computational power typically needed to win a block reward. The miner, who is believed to be operating a hobby-grade machine, struck gold with a hash rate of roughly 1.2 terahashes per second (TH/s), which is a speck of dust in an industry dominated by industrial-scale operations producing exahashes (one quintillion hashes per second). CKpool creator Con Kolivas announced the win on X, congratulating the “extremely lucky” miner and noting just how improbable the event was. He estimated that the odds translate to about 1.2 million to one per day at the miner’s reported hash rate. Read more
