Bitcoin is the first successful internet money based on peer-to-peer technology; whereby no central bank or authority is involved in the transaction and production of the Bitcoin currency. It was created by an anonymous individual/group under the name, Satoshi Nakamoto. The source code is available publicly as an open source project, anybody can look at it and be part of the developmental process.  Bitcoin is changing the way we see money as we speak. The idea was to produce a means of exchange, independent of any central authority, that could be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable and immutable way. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer internet currency making mobile payment easy, very low transaction fees, protects your identity, and it works anywhere all the time with no central authority and banks.  Bitcoin is designed to have only 21 million BTC ever created, thus making it a deflationary currency. Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm with an average transaction confirmation time of 10 minutes. Miners today are mining Bitcoin using ASIC chip dedicated to only mining Bitcoin, and the hash rate has shot up to peta hashes.  Being the first successful online cryptography currency, Bitcoin has inspired other alternative currencies such as Litecoin, Peercoin, Primecoin, and so on.  The cryptocurrency then took off with the innovation of the turing-complete smart contract by Ethereum which led to the development of other amazing projects such as EOS, Tron, and even crypto-collectibles such as CryptoKitties.

According to Coinglass data, concerns about a fresh trade war led to the largest crypto liquidation in history, with over $19 billion worth of leveraged positions erased in just 24 hours.Over the weekend, both sides tried to ease the tensions. China’s Ministry of Commerce signaled that it was open to discussing the rare earth export curbs and other issues with the U.S., while Trump also indicated that he believes the two sides can resolve the dispute.“Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want depression for his country, and neither do I. The USA wants to help China, not hurt it!!!” Trump said on Sunday in a Truth Social post.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin</a> was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:796/102;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/BTC_Oct_13_JPG_475453d8cb.webp" alt="BTC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:19 a.m. ET on Oct. 13, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="796" height="102"><figcaption>BTC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:19 a.m. ET on Oct. 13, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One optimistic user wrote that Bitcoin could still hit $140,000, soon.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Janalea101/message/632051231</stembedurl>According to SoSoValue data, spot Bitcoin ETFs logged outflows of $4.5 million on Friday.

The shutdown has kept hundreds of federal workers at home, delaying the release of key economic data, which Fed policymakers will likely take into account before their next meeting later this month.According to a Reuters News report, private surveys showed that the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits rose again last week, likely indicating some early layoffs of contractors related to the U.S. government shutdown.While the Fed minutes from September showed that there was a slim majority in favor of two 25-basis-point cuts in the Federal Open Market Committee’s October and December meetings, they also stated, “Participants stressed the importance of taking a balanced approach in promoting the committee’s employment and inflation goals.” The minutes showed that labor market weakness remained among the top concerns of the central bank.“Probably, the markets are bottoming in the coming 1-2 days, and the fun is back on.

Bitcoin was trading at $121,276.67 at the time of writing, while Ethereum dipped to $4,332.97, and XRP fell 0.3% to $2.80, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Bitcoin hovered around the $122,000 mark in early trading on Thursday as investors digested the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s September meeting amid the U.S. government shutdown.The apex cryptocurrency was trading at $122,007.82 at the time of writing, while Ethereum dipped to $4,430.76, and XRP fell 1.2% to $2.82, according to CoinMarketCap data. Among other tokens, BNB held firm at $1,311.96, while Solana and Cardano rose compared to a day ago.The Fed minutes showed that there was a slim majority in favor of two 25-basis-point cuts in the FOMC’s October and December meetings. “Participants stressed the importance of taking a balanced approach in promoting the committee’s employment and inflation goals,” the minutes said.However, they also showed that labor market weakness remained among the top concerns of the central bank, which noted that although the unemployment rate remained low, the pace of employment increases had slowed, and labor market conditions had softened.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BTC.X">Bitcoin</a> was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:797/97;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/BTC_oct_9_JPG_1feb7b391d.webp" alt="BTC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:11 a.m. ET on Oct. 9, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="797" height="97"><figcaption>BTC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:11 a.m. ET on Oct. 9, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>After hitting an all-time high of over $126,000, Bitcoin has delved lower due to profit-taking and a rise in the U.S. dollar. The greenback is experiencing its best week in a year, in part due to a decline in the Japanese yen following the change of reign in Tokyo.Precious metals and cryptocurrencies have benefited over the past week from debasement trade, where investors flee to safe-haven assets amid political instability globally.“Normally, when the dollar rises, gold falls. Now they rise together. Investors are buying both as safe assets. This doesn’t happen often. It can signal stagflation, high inflation, weak growth, and low confidence,” investor Ted Pillows said.Is Bitcoin’s Four-Year Cycle dead?Arthur Hayes, chief investment officer and co-founder of Maelstrom, wrote on Thursday that Bitcoin is unlikely to enter a bear market cycle anytime soon due to favorable monetary conditions, which will put an end to the argument regarding Bitcoin's four-year halving cycle.Hayes said in an essay titled "Long Live the King!" that the primary catalyst behind previous bitcoin bear markets in 2014, 2018, and 2022 was the hawkish monetary policy, not the four-year halving cycle. However, the Fed, alongside other central banks, is likely to increase the supply of money in the near future, which is a positive driver for cryptocurrencies.Citi’s Stablecoin BetSeparately, Citigroup has invested in stablecoin infrastructure company BVNK, according to a CNBC report. While it did not disclose the amount Citi has invested or the valuation BVNK commanded, Chris Harmse, co-founder of BVNK, stated that its valuation is higher than the $750 million publicly disclosed at its last funding round.The bet comes at a time when Citi and its peers are rapidly expanding their presence in the cryptocurrency space amid regulatory backing for digital assets in Washington, D.C.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/delta-air-lines-q3-earnings-preview/ch67iERR30Z">Delta Air Lines Q3 Earnings Preview: Margins In Focus, Analysts Wary Of US Shutdown Impact</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Meme token Dogecoin saw the steepest decline among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, falling 4.3% in the last 24 hours. 

Major cryptocurrencies edged lower on Wednesday, following strong gains this week amid a rise in the U.S. dollar.Bitcoin prices slipped to $121,336.94 after hitting an all-time high of $126,198.07 earlier this week. Ethereum prices dropped sharply to $4,439.67, while XRP found support at $2.85. Among other tokens, Solana and Cardano edged lower. Binance Coin (BNB), which replaced XRP as the third-most valuable cryptocurrency, pulled back toward $1,283.Bitcoin’s relative strength index, a key financial momentum indicator based on price changes, remained at approximately 72. A reading over 70 usually implies overbought conditions. Previously, Bitcoin prices have usually pulled back when RSI is elevated, primarily due to profit-taking. According to SoSoValue data, spot Bitcoin ETFs logged outflows of $23.8 million on Tuesday, following six consecutive days of inflows.Michael Saylor’s Strategy, which pioneered the concept of crypto treasuries, also fell 8.7%, tracking a decline of the apex cryptocurrency. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about Strategy was still in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing, while traders were ‘extremely bullish’ about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BTC.X">Bitcoin</a>.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:786/89;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/BTC_Oct_8_JPG_320d4483f5.webp" alt="BTC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:28 a.m. ET on Oct. 8, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="786" height="89"><figcaption>BTC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:28 a.m. ET on Oct. 8, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>While cryptocurrencies took a pause, spot gold prices surpassed the $4,000 per ounce mark for the first time, despite the U.S. dollar's advances on Wednesday. Over the past week, both digital assets and precious metals have advanced, driven by the so-called ‘debasement trade,’ where investors flock to alternative investments amid uncertainty over state bonds and currencies.External Fundamentals Still SupportiveMark Moss, Chief Bitcoin strategist at Satsuma Technology, noted that Bitcoin might still have room to run.“Bitcoin is breaking out to new ATHs, and yet it's not looking anywhere near cycle peaks while external fundamentals are looking hot. Unlike 2021, the Fed is not tightening; they are loosening, ETFs and BTCTCs (Bitcoin Treasury Companies) are creating the greatest demand shock, and the world has woken up to the debasement trade,” Moss said.Earlier this week, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis said that acquiring funds for the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) can “start anytime” now, signalling continued support at the federal level.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gold-breaks-4-k-for-first-time-as-political-uncertainty-mounts/ch6Eea5R3L9">Gold Breaks $4K For First Time As Political Uncertainty Mounts: Analyst Sees FOMO Driving Inflows</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Edge Lower Amid Dollar Gains — Analyst Says Cycle Peak Is Yet To Come

Bitcoin prices slipped to $121,336.94 after hitting an all-time high of $126,198.07 earlier this week. Ethereum prices dropped sharply to $4,439.67, while XRP found support at $2.85.

Anthony Pompliano, founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management and a prominent crypto investor, said on Tuesday that Bitcoin (BTC) is emerging as the new “hurdle rate” for investors.“Historically, we’ve looked at things like the S&amp;P 500,” he&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hse-H-JUXGY">told</a> CNBC in an interview. “Since 2020, the S&amp;P is up 100%, but priced to Bitcoin, it’s down 90%.”&nbsp;Pompliano added that most traditional finance returns fail to match Bitcoin’s performance, emphasizing the simplicity and scarcity of Bitcoin as key drivers of its appeal. “They are never going to stop printing money, so Bitcoin will never stop going up. Think of Bitcoin as savings technology: work hard, spend less than you earn, and put the extra into Bitcoin,” he said.&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/BTC.X">Bitcoin’s price</a> was trading at around $125,000 in early morning trade on Tuesday after hitting an all-time high of more than $126,000 during the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-price-hits-another-record-high-as-it-surges-past-125800/ch6ROvTR3gt">previous session</a>. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the apex cryptocurrency trended in ‘extremely bullish’ territory amid ‘high’ levels of chatter.Pompliano noted that Bitcoin’s price is likely to keep rising because a growing share of BTC is being moved into illiquid supply, increasing pressure on prices. “Every Bitcoin that I buy, no one’s touching again until I die,” Pompliano said. “As more capital flows in and holders remain unwilling to sell, prices naturally rise to clear the market.”Pompliano also compared Bitcoin to gold, noting the overlapping interests of investors. “Bitcoin and gold are brothers in arms in the fight against currency debasement,” he said. “Gold has outperformed Bitcoin this year, but over the last five years, Bitcoin’s growth has far exceeded gold’s. Bitcoin is essentially gold with wings—smaller market cap, more volatility, higher upside potential.”<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/XAUUSD">Gold’s price</a> touched a record high of $3,985 in morning trade on Tuesday after paring some gains. At the time of writing, it was trading at around $3,979.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bnb-token-surges-to-record-high-overtakes-xrp-as-third-largest-cryptocurrency/ch6PaXTR3Wy">BNB Token Surges To Record High, Overtakes XRP As Third-Largest Cryptocurrency</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
