Bitcoin’s underwhelming price performance continued into the weekend, with another dip to $88,000 registered earlier today.

Most altcoins are in the red as well on a 24-hour scale, with ETH solidifying its place below $3,000. XMR has dropped the most from the larger-cap alts.

BTC Dips to $88K

It was a week ago when the tension between the US and the EU escalated rapidly with new tariff threats and finally some opposition from the bloc. BTC remained still at first and traded above $95,000 during the weekend, but dumped hard on Monday morning when the Asian stock and most futures markets opened.

At first, the $92,000 support remained intact, but the bears were more persistent and continued driving the asset further south. The culmination took place on Wednesday when bitcoin slumped to $87,200, which became a new multi-week low.

Then came a rollercoaster of a trading period with a run toward $90,000, subsequent rejections, and another attempt at that coveted level as Trump took the main stage at Davos and made some controversial remarks. He refuted previous statements that he might use force to take over Greenland, hinted at a potential deal with Denmark, and cancelled the aforementioned tariffs.

However, he threatened a 100% tariff on Canada yesterday if the country signs a big deal with China. BTC failed to decisively reclaim $90,000 and even dipped to $88,000 earlier today before recovering some ground.

It now trades below $89,000, with a market cap of $1.770 trillion. The dominance over the alts is close to 57.5% on CG.

Alts in Red

Ethereum fell from over $3,400 to under $3,000 in the past ten days or so, and has been unable to turn that resistance into support since then. BNB is well below $900, while XRP stalls at $1.90. XMR has plunged by over 7% daily to $480. ADA, BCH, DOGE, LINK, HYPE, and XLM are also in the red daily.

CC is among the few larger-cap alts in the green, gaining 5% to almost $0.16. RIVER has rocketed by another 23% and now sits above $60. In contrast, HASH has dumped by 11% to under $0.023.

The total crypto market cap is down by over $40 billion to $3.080 trillion on CG.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
