The U.S. seized more than 240 cryptocurrency scam websites and disrupted 112 servers in a case involving tens of millions of dollars.

If we continue to project based on the past cycle pattern of one bear market followed by three bull-market years, both the timing and scale of this bull market are worth reassessing.
In the past, BTC often bottomed near the end of the year, around November–December, before entering a new bull market. But if this cycle started about half a year earlier than previous ones, the bull market could also end correspondingly earlier.
Based on the cycle, the bull market co

He argues that traditional companies can hold oil, natural gas, land, and machinery, yet could face index eligibility restrictions for holding large amounts of BTC. Strategy’s approach is to use Bitcoin to support digital credit products, so it should not be viewed simply as a company that holds Bitcoin.
