The famous hacker group Lazarus Group (North Korean hackers) has shown that it can also earn money honestly. In February 2023, they purchased 40.78 WBTC, which they sold today in pairs with ETH, earning $2.51 million (+251%).
The 1,857 ETH obtained by the hackers were distributed across 3 wallets. Apparently, they do not plan to sell the ETH, which I advise you to do as well. The asset is still heading towards $1500, maybe even slightly lower with the aim of liquidity withdrawal, but after that, I expect it to rise to $4000.
The same situation applies to ETH dominance, which updated a 4-year low - I expect a correction in the area of 7% and the formation of a triple bottom in the global projection, followed by a reversal. This fits well into the correction projection around $ETH in the area of $1500.

Ellie Hart was cleaning her house and threw away old things, including tangled wires and a USB flash drive on which her husband stored $BTC bitcoins, purchased in 2013 for $3.8 million.
🥹 As Ellie said: "He didn’t yell or accuse… but the silence said everything."
Most likely, her husband genuinely believed it was a joke, but Ellie made it clear that old flash drives have no place in the house 🙅♂️

There is a possibility of restoring trust, but it will require comprehensive negotiations.
The era of close economic cooperation, deep integration, and joint efforts in security and defense between Canada and the United States has come to an end.

🐳 The whale returns: $200 million from $BTC with Binance
The same billionaire who was actively dumping Bitcoin in February at prices from $100,000 to $86,000 is back on the scene. This morning, he withdrew BTC worth $200 million from Binance — apparently, he has started to accumulate positions again.
Interestingly, is this a coincidence with current market expectations, or has the player simply decided to return to the familiar strategy of 'buy low, sell high'? In any case — we are watching.
See for yourself - the USA sold a thousand "golden visas" for $5 million each in just one day, claims Commerce Secretary Howard Latnik. More than $5 billion has flowed into the treasury just from visas, while we are here stuck with our $BTC and strategic reserve.
Speaking of the reserve. This week, public hearings are scheduled for two more bills regarding bitcoin reserves:
HB1217 in Missouri (Monday, March 24) HB302 in New Hampshire (Tuesday, March 25)
These are not final approvals, so there’s no need to worry about the outcome; both bills will move forward.
⚠️Another crypto investor lost $300 thousand because he copied the scammer's address from the transaction history, which matched the last 4 characters of the real address.
The rapid growth $BTC dealt a significant blow to the bears' positions. However, a drop to $80,000 could trigger substantial liquidations among the bulls. The most likely scenario in the near term appears to be sideways trading, aimed at forcing even the most experienced and patient traders out of the market🗿
According to Arthur Hayes, the quantitative tightening (QT) program is likely to end on April 1, 2025.

Hayes suggests that Bitcoin has already reached a low of $77,000, but he admits that the stock market may decline further until the Federal Reserve adjusts its policy🗿
A Bloomberg analyst criticized MicroStrategy's bitcoin strategy, pointing out only a 30% profit over the years of investment, despite the recent purchase of 13,731,874,998 for 11 million dollars, bringing the total volume to nearly 500,000 BTC with an average acquisition price of 62,000 dollars. Critics, including Jason Calacanis, are concerned about increased centralization of bitcoin due to MicroStrategy's actions and forecast a convergence of the purchase price with the market price. According to Cryptopolitan, the impact of Michael Saylor's strategy on the BTC price has weakened: the latest purchase of 130 BTC for 10.7 million dollars did not provoke a market reaction, unlike in previous years. Moreover, financing purchases through borrowed funds and issuing shares creates financial risks for MicroStrategy in the event of a sharp decline in the bitcoin exchange rate.
