Bitcoin dominated the latest cycle with renewed focus on Satoshi Nakamoto, a fresh debate over lost coins and quantum risk, and conflicting signals between weak retail demand and strong institutional flows.

We also cover Ethereum treasury buying plus SOL and DOGE. Other topics include LINK; ZEC; SHIB; PIPPIN; BNB; USDC; tokenization; prediction-market scrutiny; and AI-agent payments.
