The magic ingredient that kept crypto alive, and powered each rebound, is hype. The 4 year cycles would not have happened without hype. And hype has been there for the past 10-15 years. Crypto has been the preeminent “disruptive technology“. There were challengers, but no successors. What has changed is - AI has obviously taken that crown. Crypto is now old news. It’s why crypto has finally decoupled from the markets. While AI is going parabolic and powering the markets of entire countries. That’s why this crash is different. The all important hype is going away… submitted by /u/interstellar_nips [link] [Kommentare]

Why is BTC now hovering around 60K when the rest of the stock / tech market is doing so well? I know they’re not necessarily correlated but wouldn’t this AI/tech stock boom directly coincide with a rise in BTC? Why is it falling? Did I miss some major news in the last couple weeks? submitted by /u/elcapitanL [link] [Kommentare]

I am trying to undersand the Zcash bug that was recently discovered. Does anyone know if there is certainty about whether it was exploited or not? Would there be any evidence of an exploit if someone had used it to mint a bunch of ZEC? https://x.com/CryptoTubeYT/status/2062502670909530409 submitted by /u/Good-Book-6912 [link] [Kommentare]

Kinda obvious. But its funny to always open this up and see some version of “yea its gone down a bunch but trust me actually a ton of people are investing right now its going great” submitted by /u/5nGlide [link] [Kommentare]

Everyone is so worried about JPM and Citi recently. Why though? They are expanding on the Ethereum network Straight from the source https://am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-management/institutional/about-us/media/press-releases/jp-morgan-asset-management-launches-second-tokenized-fund-on-ethereum/ submitted by /u/Euro347 [link] [Kommentare]

Sarcasm aside, I’ve been in crypto since 2016 and am blown away with the fact that we never learn anything from history. In every single cycle, no exception, we get to the “crypto is dead” phase when everyone is losing their minds - ESPECIALLY those deep in crypto, which makes no sense. If you’d take literally ten minutes of your time to study previous cycles, you’d see that it always repeats itself. Yes we’re in a bear market, DCA what you can and forget about it for fucks sake. Thank me later. submitted by /u/doctorpoopghost5000 [link] [Kommentare]

Hi guys, from this insane dip i've sold some stock assets and bought ETH which I plan to hold for at least 3 years without touching it, I know we can stake it and earn passive interests which interests me currently. Problem is, i've digged to make a node and it seems like there's an unstake delay, isn't there a way to stake it without delay during unstaking? Thanks submitted by /u/headgod123 [link] [Kommentare]

In my opinion it is. I’ve been in crypto since 2017 and seen all of it. This time is the first time in almost 10 years that it’s been so long for crypto to become mainstream without becoming, that I think the hype over the technology is over. Btc will probably be around for a very long time and it has a solid use case. The alts though, has now been diminished to stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenized assets, gaming maybe, and some other real use cases. This does not translate to the value of respective chain/layer 2, see Polygon. The time when retail could become rich from it I believe is over. When institutions, governments, stock exchanges etc is fully involved in som way, the complete “buy the rumors, sell the news” has ended. Does this post mark the bottom? I hope so. Because I still have way too much crypto left, but for me I will let it lie there and stake for years if necessary. Luckily I exited a lot last year. I want a serious discussion about what you think about this. submitted by /u/Big_Research5671 [link] [Kommentare]

I recently came across Pi Network and their push toward building an ecosystem for Al-created apps through Pi App Studio. They are trying to attract "vibe coders" (developers using Al tools like Replit, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) to deploy apps into the Pi ecosystem. The idea is that developers can: build apps with Al tools integrate them into Pi App Studio reach a claimed 60M+ user base use Pi for payments, identity, and distribution It's interesting to see crypto projects shifting from speculation toward app ecosystems and real utility. I'm curious what developers think - could Pi actually become a useful distribution layer for Al apps, or is this just marketing? submitted by /u/Longjumping-Meet3953 [link] [Kommentare]

I like to follow generative AI, one of the big communities and providers made this announcement yesterday: What's happening Yesterday we were told our primary data center is retracting support for us and switching their capacity over to crypto mining. Effective today. We got less than 48 hours of notice. That is the bulk of the GPUs we use to serve open source model generation. Losing them on this kind of timeline is about as abrupt as it gets. We have spent every hour since scrambling for replacement GPUs and a new data center. The catch: the same mining fever that took our capacity has gobbled up most of the spare GPUs on the market. It appears that at least some of the data centre capacity that was serving generative AI customers, is now ditching their clients (who are paying very well) to now mine crypto once again. Naturally this is speculation - but to me this is a clear signal that it is once again accumulation time. If data centres that are getting plenty of money are dropping clients at short notice to mine, they believe that more profit is to be made with crypto. Sure, this could be a bad business decision, but given the current timeline I think that the worst is over and the next year is a serious opportunity to build up again.

Article highlights. The European Central Bank is gearing up to hike interest rates twice this year, a move that would mark a sharp reversal from the easing trajectory markets had grown comfortable with. A Bloomberg economist survey conducted between May 4-7, 2026, shows the consensus now expects 25 basis point increases in both June and September, lifting the deposit facility rate from 2.00% to 2.50%. That’s not what most forecasters were calling for just weeks ago. Earlier predictions had penciled in only a single hike for the year. But surging energy prices, driven by ongoing conflict in Iran, have pushed euro-area inflation to an estimated 2.9% to 3%, well above the ECB’s 2% target. submitted by /u/zesushv [link] [Kommentare]
