Former SEC Chairman: Bitcoin is the only crypto asset worth attention
According to former Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Gary Gensler, the overwhelming majority of digital currencies lack a real economic basis and exist primarily based on investor expectations. He shared this in an interview with CNBC.
"The value of most cryptocurrency tokens is determined not by economic laws, but by pure speculation, which makes them extremely vulnerable," he noted.
Gensler specifically highlighted Bitcoin as the only widely known asset in the crypto space:
"Almost everyone on the planet knows about Bitcoin. But who can name even a few of the ten thousand tokens that exist today?" he said.
He drew a parallel between cryptocurrencies and precious metals: in both cases, there are many options available in the market, but only a few—like gold and silver—have real value and attract significant investments.
Bitcoin or Ethereum: which is more profitable Despite the recent market volatility, the price of Bitcoin remains relatively stable. According to new data from Glassnode, investments in Bitcoin have proven to be significantly more profitable than in Ethereum. "Since November 2022 (the collapse of FTX), the realized market capitalization of Bitcoin has increased by $468 billion (+117%), while that of Ethereum has only increased by $61 billion (+32%). BTC investors have consistently realized more unrealized profits compared to Ethereum holders since January 2023. The profitability of investments in Bitcoin has exceeded the comparable figure for ETH for 812 consecutive days — this is a record," Glassnode reported.

Woman threw away flash drive with access to bitcoins worth $3.8 million.
A resident of Market Harborough in the UK, Ellie Hart, lost access to a USB drive that contained the information to access a cryptocurrency wallet with bitcoins worth over $3.8 million. This was reported by the Daily Star. As Ellie, a former teacher, explained, she decided to sort through old boxes and accidentally threw away a flash drive, mistaking it for one of her regular work drives. Along with the flash drive, old receipts, batteries, and cables were also sent to the trash. The woman had no idea that this device contained the access data for the cryptocurrency that her partner Tom had purchased back in 2013. After a while, Tom started searching for the device and asked Ellie if she had seen a small black flash drive where he kept access to the bitcoins. "I froze. In that moment, I understood everything. My heart sank. I said, 'I think I threw it away.' Panic washed over me," Hart shared. The couple tried to recover the lost drive, even checking the discarded trash bags, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Later, Ellie admitted that she considers what happened to be the biggest mistake of her life.
