Why Bitcoin’s $124K ATH didn’t feel bullish
The surge in ETH optimism and record ETF inflows
How Monero’s 51% attack unfolded and what it means for Bitcoin
Google’s app store power over self-custody wallets
Why Solana Mobile could be well-timed
Plus, shoutouts to @xenumonero for Monero insights and @lazyvillager1 for spotting the market’s reaction to Google’s misstep.
