Bitcoin’s options market has grown too large to ignore. What that signals about who is now participating in crypto, and why, matters more than the numbers alone. Crypto markets are no stranger to sharp drawdowns.

Avoid prompts that create false positivesSeparate prompts into three types: branded, comparison, and non-branded.Branded prompts trigger your brand name and inflate visibility, which doesn’t tell you whether you’re being recommended naturally. For example, if I ask a question like “Do Toyotas have good resale value for families?”, the natural response will be to mention Toyota, because the question is about Toyota. If I’m measuring mentions, then every single question that starts and centres on my brand name is a wasted prompt.  I could simply increase the number of questions that include my brand name and thereby improve my mentions.  Branded prompts definitely…

Alice wishes to donate to Bob anonymously. Alice wants to create a bitcoin “stealth” address for Bob (which cannot be associated to Bob on the blockchain explorer) using shnorr signatures. Alice has Bob’s Schnorr PublicKey1 from his donation website. Alice produces on her laptop a new (privateKey2, publicKey2) pair. Alice creates aggregated PubKey1 + PubKey2 using Schnorr’s aggregated public keys feature. Alice sends bitcoins to the aggregated address(PubKey1 + PubKey2).

Tom Lee used a Hong Kong conference stage to argue that Ethereum may be close to a cyclical turn, pointing to historical market analogs and on-chain cost-basis data that, in his view, suggest the selloff has reached exhaustion. Speaking at the 3rd Futu Expo 2026 in Hong Kong on March 13–14, Lee said Bitmine advisor Tom DeMark had identified a striking resemblance between Ethereum’s recent price action and two major S&P 500 declines: the 1987 crash and the 2011 selloff. Lee described the setup as unusually tight. Is The Ethereum Bottom In? “Tom DeMark, he’s a legendary market timer, and…
