Engineer Sentenced to 32 Months for Bitcoin Extortion Scheme Against Employer
Former core infrastructure engineer Daniel Rhyne was sentenced to 32 months in prison for attacking his New Jersey employer's network and demanding a Bitcoin ransom, federal prosecutors said Monday.
Daniel Rhyne, 59, of Kansas City, Missouri, was sentenced on September 28 by U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp in Trenton. He pleaded guilty in April to extortion in relation to a threat to damage a protected computer, and to intentional damage to a protected computer.

ETH at $2,500—are you buying the dip?
Yesterday it was 2560, then it plunged overnight to 2406 before recovering to 2500 today. You stare at the screen, palms sweating—is this a “golden pit,” or a grave the market makers dug for you? It has fallen 7% over the past week, underperforming BTC, while the ETF saw $200 million in outflows over six straight days. Let me tell you a harsh fact: people rushing in now are most likely providing exit liquidity for those who bought the dip at 2400.
First, the surface view: the rebound from 2406 to 2500 looks pretty strong.
Today’s low was 2406 and high was

Arrived in Maratua, and I hadn’t slept for a full 24 hours. As soon as I got on the island, I was taken for a check dive—to a channel with a very strong current…
And I ended up seeing a storm of waves…
The school of fish wasn’t particularly large, but it was still quite spectacular, reaching roughly five stories high…
I hadn’t gone diving for several years, so I was really rusty and couldn’t even maintain neutral buoyancy properly. In the end, I still couldn’t catch up with the sea wolves and could only film them from the side…

$$SKL gained 34% in one day, and everyone entering now is a daredevil.
First, look at the sentiment indicators: this coin’s 24h trading volume is 76.6M, and its turnover rate has directly pulled the Fear Index from last week’s “extreme fear” zone into “neutral to greedy.” The funding rate has most likely already turned positive, because the 24h high of 0.0060 is the current price, indicating that longs are recklessly chasing the top. Historically, the last time SKL’s trading volume exceeded 70M was during the mini bull run in Q4 last year, when the funding rate surged to 0.15% at one point, o

The BTC and ETH long setups shared this morning worked out: BTC went long around 81,400 and surged above 82,400; ETH went long around 2,465 and smoothly reached the 2,530 target. $BTC $ETH
The levels were timed perfectly, and the market followed the forecast exactly—this short-term move locked in solid profits. 🍖#BTC回调触及81000美元

🚨 $MRNA Bull Flag in a Bull flag.
The smaller breakout can target 205-207 and that should be a resistance, might look for a rejection off there! If that 207 breaks, this can run off towards 230 easily.

📊 Existing holders are doing the heavy lifting in the current $BTC rally.
Bitcoin’s realized cap continues to climb, while fresh capital from ETFs, stablecoins, and corporate treasuries is slowing down.
The 2024 and 2025 rallies showed a similar gap, but with much larger inflows of new capital. 📈
👉 A fresh wave of capital inflows could provide stronger demand and help sustain Bitcoin’s next leg higher. The key now is whether new money starts flowing back into the market

$BTC I’m not chasing this move. The reason is simple: options expiration is approaching.
Around weekly and monthly options expirations, the market often seems to be pulled by an invisible line. Taking major platforms such as Deribit as an example, the notional open interest of BTC options during expiration weeks is often in the tens of billions of dollars. To hedge Gamma and Delta, market makers buy and sell frequently near key strike prices. The closer the price gets to the max pain point, the more easily it gets pulled back and forth by short-term funds. As a result, the market often gives a

🚨 European Union SETS JANUARY 8 DEADLINE FOR NON-MiCA STABLECOINS
ESMA is giving EU crypto firms until January 8, 2027 to exit services involving stablecoins that don't comply with MiCA rules.

⚠️ No specific tokens were named, but stablecoin services in Europe could face major changes.

bitcoin:native spot demand has fully retraced the Q3 pump.
That’s not a great look.
If buyers don’t step in soon, BTC could be setting up for another leg lower.

🚨 MANY PEOPLE MAY BE MISREADING THE 2023 BITCOIN FRACTAL
Comparing the 2023 and 2026 structures shows that the notable point is not a deep drop ahead, but how #Bitcoin reacts after the breakout.
In 2023, the major correction occurred before bitcoin:native broke through resistance. After the breakout, the former resistance zone turned into support and was retested twice before Bitcoin entered a strong rally phase.
The 2026 structure is now showing a similar development:
- $80,000–$82,000 zone → key support after the breakout
- BTC has retested this area multiple times
- Holding support → the

Negative Funding Rates: Shorts Paying Longs Is a Signal, Not a Bottom
The market brief describes funding rates turning negative across centralized and decentralized perpetual markets. That is a useful observation about derivatives pricing, but it is not proof that every contract is negative or that sentiment has reached a historical extreme. A meaningful comparison needs specific venues, contracts, settlement intervals and timestamps.
In a conventional perpetual contract, negative funding generally means short positions pay long positions at the funding event. The mechanism helps keep the perp
