**Dulu Dijual US$1, Kini 500 Bitcoin Bernilai Hampir US$45 Juta**
Kisah lama dari dunia crypto kembali ramai diperbincangkan. Tepat 16 tahun lalu, seorang pengguna forum Bitcointalk sempat menawarkan 500 Bitcoin (BTC) hanya seharga US$1, mencerminkan fase awal Bitcoin yang saat itu masih dianggap sekadar eksperimen digital.
Momen tersebut kembali disorot setelah Binance membagikan arsip unggahan tahun 2010 di media sosial. Kala itu, 500 BTC bahkan ditawarkan sebagai imbalan sebuah gambar digital, karena Bitcoin belum dipandang sebagai aset bernilai tinggi.
Seiring berjalannya waktu, nilai 500 Bitcoin tersebut kini melonjak tajam hingga sekitar US$44,8 juta. Kenaikan fantastis ini menandai pertumbuhan Bitcoin yang mencapai miliaran persen, jauh melampaui ekspektasi para pengguna awalnya.
Cerita ini menjadi pengingat pentingnya kesabaran dalam berinvestasi di aset crypto. Banyak pemilik Bitcoin pada masa awal tak menyangka nilainya bisa melejit sedemikian rupa, sekaligus menegaskan pasar crypto menyimpan potensi imbal hasil besar dalam jangka panjang.
**Ancaman Alien Makin Nyata, Eks-Analis Bank of England: Bitcoin Bakal Meroket**
Mantan analis Bank of England Helen McCaw memperingatkan bahwa konfirmasi resmi keberadaan kehidupan alien dapat memicu kekacauan besar di sistem keuangan global dalam hitungan jam.
Ia menilai bukti yang tak terbantahkan akan menimbulkan _o_ntological shock, yaitu guncangan psikologis dan kepercayaan pada manusia. Hal tersebut lebih lanjut bisa memicu volatilitas ekstrem, penarikan dana massal dari perbankan, hingga lumpuhnya sistem pembayaran.
McCaw memprediksi investor akan beralih ke Bitcoin. Sebab, aset itu terdesentralisasi dan tak dikendalikan siapapun di tengah situasi yang membuat kepercayaan terhadap aset berbasis pemerintah melemah.
Sementara itu, emas dan logam mulia justru bisa kehilangan status aset aman jika teknologi luar angkasa mengindikasikan ketersediaan sumber daya yang melimpah di masa depan.
Ia pun mendesak Bank of England menyiapkan rencana darurat, seiring meningkatnya sinyal dari pernyataan dan proses deklasifikasi pemerintah Amerika Serikat bahwa isu ini mendekati titik krusial.
**Holder XAUt Auto Cuan usai Tembus US$5 Ribu, Tertinggi untuk Pertama Kalinya**
Emas dunia yang ditokenisasi milik Tether (XAUt) berhasil menyentuh rekor tertinggi sepanjang masa baru sebesar US$5.002 atau naik 1% dalam 24 jam terakhir, Sabtu (24/01) siang, melansir CoinMarketCap.
Katalis kenaikan kali ini permintaan aset defensif di tengah ketidakpastian global dan risiko tarif yang sempat meningkat di AS. Akibatnya, harga emas dunia naik hingga total kapitalisasi pasar emas tokenisasi melampaui US$4 miliar.
Selain itu, data on-chain menunjukkan akumulasi yang signifikan, dengan satu entitas membeli lebih dari 3.100 XAUt atau sekitar US$13,7 juta dan entitas lain mengakuisisi 430+ XAUt senilai US$2 juta dalam beberapa pekan terakhir.

**Features | Pendaki Ini Pernah Bawa Bendera Logo Bitcoin ke Puncak Gunung Everest**
Dadvan Ismat Yousuf seorang pengusaha asal Irak yang memiliki hobi mendaki gunung pernah mengibarkan bendera dengan logo Bitcoin (BTC) di puncak Gunung Everest pada 20 Mei 2024 lalu.
Adapun, Yousuf menjadi orang Irak pertama yang berhasil mencapai puncak Gunung Everest, di mana ia telah memulai ekspedisi itu pada sebulan sebelumnya. Bahkan, ia membawa bendera Bitcoin ke puncak untuk menyoroti masalah keuangan di Irak.
“Ekspedisi saya dimulai pada 2 April dan berakhir pada 22 Mei. Saya belum pernah mendaki gunung sebelumnya. Tujuan saya adalah untuk menyoroti masalah pendidikan keuangan di negara-negara yang kurang beruntung. Jadi saya membawa bendera Kurdistan dan Bitcoin ke puncak,” ujar Yousuf melansir Almasra.

**Bitcoin Stagnan Akibat Outflow ETF Tembus Rp28 Triliun**
Bitcoin (BTC) stagnan di level US$89.000 selama 3 hari terakhir, menurut CoinMarketCap, Sabtu (24/01).
Namun, katalisnya diakibatkan oleh arus keluar (outflow) ETF sejak 16 Januari lalu, di mana mencapai lebih dari US$1,7 miliar atau Rp1,7 triliun.
Lebih lanjut, pada gabungan outflow 16 Januari dan 23 Januari, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) pimpin outflow sebesar US$654 juta, sementara itu iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) milik BlackRock sekitar US$535 Juta.
Lalu, ada Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) sekitar US$215 Juta, Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) US$155 juta, dan ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) S$144 juta.
Terakhir, VanEck Bitcoin (HODL) outflow sebesar US$12 Juta, dan Franklin Bitcoin ETF (BTC) US$10 juta. Selain itu, ada Coinshares Bitcoin ETF (BRRR) sebesar US$3 juta.

**Eks Pejabat PBB: Stablecoin Lebih Berguna untuk Kirim Bantuan ke Afrika**
Mantan Wakil Sekretaris Jenderal PBB Vera Songwe mengatakan stablecoin sebagai pengiriman uang lintas batas lebih berguna dan penting daripada bantuan di Afrika.
“650 juta orang di Afrika tidak memiliki akses ke rekening bank. Dengan ponsel pintar, Anda dapat mengakses stablecoin, sehingga orang dapat menabung dalam mata uang yang tidak rentan terhadap fluktuasi inflasi dan membuat Anda miskin,” ujar Songwe di World Forum Economic (WEF) 2026 di Davos, Kamis (22/01).
Sebagai contoh, Songwe mengatakan layanan transfer uang tradisional di Afrika seringkali membutuhkan biaya sekitar US$6 untuk setiap US$100 yang dikirim. Sementara, stablecoin memangkas biaya dan waktu penyelesaian.
Selain itu, Songwe mengatakan inflasi mencapai 20% di 12 hingga 15 negara di seluruh Afrika sejak pandemi COVID-19 dan stablecoin menyediakan cara menyimpan nilai mata uang yang kurang rentan terhadap inflasi dan berfungsi sebagai jaring pengaman keuangan.
Bitcoin Slides Again to $81,000 in Less Than a Day
Bitcoin has plunged another 8.5% in just 24 hours, dropping to $81,000 on Friday (Nov 21). This latest dip drags the asset down 22.45% over the past week, extending the brutal market sell-off.
This means Bitcoin has now fallen below its price at the start of 2025, wiping out all gains accumulated throughout the year. Even investors who entered early at $92,000 are now deep in the red as the market continues to crash.
In the past 24 hours alone, the crypto downturn has triggered $1.91 billion (≈ Rp31.92 trillion) in liquidations a level not seen since the chaos of the 2020 Covid-19 crash.
The situation resembles the market shock that followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement back in April. Bitcoin fell to $81,000 on Tuesday (Apr 22) and even dipped to $74,000 just days before.
Adding to the fear, 85% of Polymarket participants now believe Bitcoin could slide even further potentially below $80,000 if market conditions fail to improve.
ETF Investors Pull Out $1.4 Billion as Bitcoin Freefalls
Bitcoin ETFs just logged a new record-breaking outflow, with investors yanking $1.4 billion (≈ Rp24.3 trillion) in the past week alone, according to Coinglass. The bleeding continues as ETF holders rush to exit amid Bitcoin’s steep decline.
The panic isn’t without reason. Bitcoin (BTC) has plunged 35% from its all-time high of $126,000, now trading around the $81,000 zone, based on CoinMarketCap data — a dramatic tumble that’s rattling the entire crypto market.
To make matters worse, on Thursday (Nov 20) alone, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest single-day outflow ever: $903 million (≈ Rp15 trillion) vanished in a flash.
The question now: Is this a temporary shakeout… or the start of a deeper trend?
🚨 Bitcoin Needs Just a 1.26% Pump to Wipe Out $3B in Shorts
Bitcoin (BTC) is only 1.26% away from triggering a massive short squeeze. A move from $109,166 to $110,542 could liquidate nearly $3 billion (~Rp50.21 trillion) worth of short positions.
📉 Earlier this week, CoinGlass data revealed a brutal market shakeout—355,293 traders were liquidated, wiping out a combined $1.43 billion (~Rp23.75 trillion) when BTC dropped to $112,000 on Sept 23.
The carnage didn’t stop there. By Sept 26, BTC plunged to $109,000, and one trader lost a staggering $10 million (~Rp167 billion) on a single long liquidation at $109,337.
As of now, Bitcoin is holding around $109,500, after briefly dipping to a two-week low of $108,865 on Sept 28.
🔎 Key Market Signals • Hyblock data highlights liquidation clusters in the $111,000–$107,000 range, a danger zone if selling pressure persists. • Perpetual futures flows show heavy institutional sell orders (1,000–10M BTC) outweighing retail spot buys (100–1,000 BTC). • On the bright side, the spot orderbook bid-ask ratio is tilting bullish again, especially during BTC’s drop from $111,200 → $110,553.
Interestingly, the last time buyers dominated this ratio was Sept 5–7, right before BTC surged from $107,500 to $118,200. Could history repeat itself?
⚡ Bottom Line: With shorts stacked and spot demand starting to lean bullish, Bitcoin may only need a small nudge to ignite a major short squeeze.

Bitcoin Drops 8.87% From ATH – Now Trading at $113K 📉
Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen 4.95% over the past week, trading around $113,000 (Aug 20) — now down 8.87% from last week’s all-time high of $124,000.
🔻 Altcoins followed suit: • Ethereum (ETH) down 9.89% to $4,100 • XRP down 9.86% to $2.89 • Solana (SOL) down 7.04% to $180
What’s driving the drop? • Macro Headwinds: Nasdaq 100 fell 1.5% after an MIT Nanda report revealed 95% of AI projects fail commercially. • US Tariffs: New tariffs on 407 steel & aluminum products raised fears of slower growth + higher inflation. • Risk-Off Sentiment: Dollar strength pressured BTC, while the 30-day delta skew jumped to 12%, signaling extreme fear in derivatives markets.
Technical Breakdown ⚠️ • BTC lost key support at $115K, triggering $113M in long liquidations. • RSI sits at 40 with a negative MACD → strong bearish pressure. • Price now below the 50-day moving average.
📉 Next support: $111,943 📈 Recovery possible only if BTC reclaims $118,200
Adding to the pressure: Bhutan moved ~800 BTC to a custodian wallet, possibly for sale — fueling speculation of institutional sell-offs.
Is this just a healthy correction before the next leg up, or the start of a deeper pullback? 🤔

Goldman Sachs Predicts 3 Fed Rate Cuts This Year – What Could It Mean for Crypto? 💸🚀
Goldman Sachs forecasts that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates 3 times in 2025, with two additional cuts projected for 2026.
If realized, rates could drop to around 3–3.25%, down from the current 4.25–4.50% range.
🔹 The projection comes after U.S. inflation data showed only a 0.2% increase in July, fueling expectations of monetary easing. 🔹 Futures markets now price in a 93% chance of a 25bps cut next month, and even a 7% chance of a 50bps cut — up from just 3% the day before. 🔹 U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argued that a larger 150–175bps cut may be needed, as current rates are “too restrictive.”
💡 Why does this matter for crypto? Lower interest rates = more liquidity in the system. Back in 2020, when the Fed slashed rates near zero, Bitcoin soared to $60,000 within a year.
Could history repeat itself if the Fed goes dovish again? 🤔

BitMine Becomes World’s Largest Institutional Holder of Ethereum, Controlling $6.6B (Rp108T) 🚀
BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) has announced that it now holds 1.5 million Ethereum (ETH) worth around $6.6 billion — making it the largest institutional holder of ETH globally and the second-largest digital asset holder worldwide after Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy.
🔹 BitMine’s stock (BMNR) is now among the top 10 most liquid U.S. equities, with an average daily trading volume of $6.4 billion. 🔹 Meanwhile, MicroStrategy still leads the market with 629,376 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at over $72 billion. 🔹 According to Chairman Tom Lee, BitMine has been aggressively accumulating ETH since launching its Ethereum-based treasury strategy in late June.
The company’s bold target? 👉 To control up to 5% of ETH’s total supply, backed by an additional $20+ billion in future funding for further acquisitions.
“We continue to believe Ethereum represents one of the biggest macro investments over the next 10–15 years,” said Tom Lee.
This move signals growing institutional confidence in Ethereum as a long-term asset — potentially setting the stage for ETH’s next big narrative. 🌐🔥

17 Years Ago Today: Satoshi Nakamoto Registered Bitcoin.org 🎂🚀
Exactly 17 years ago, on August 18, 2008, the domain Bitcoin.org was registered through the anonymous service Anonymousspeech by none other than the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. This site became the very first gateway to the Bitcoin (BTC) project.
Crypto historian Pete Rizzo once shared a snapshot of Bitcoin.org’s earliest look on January 31, 2009:
“This is what Bitcoin’s first website looked like when its value was still $0, exactly 16 years ago.”
🔹 The original version was extremely simple, mainly containing details about the release of Bitcoin v0.1 software on January 9, 2009. At the time, Bitcoin had no market value and was only known within a small circle of cryptography enthusiasts.
🔹 Initially, the site was run directly by Satoshi Nakamoto together with developer Martti Malmi. From 2011–2013, it was mostly used to release updates of Bitcoin Core, and in 2013 it saw a major redesign with additional features.
🔹 By 2011, Satoshi stepped away from the project, transferring control of the domain to ensure it wouldn’t be centralized under a single entity. Today, Bitcoin.org is an open-source project with contributions from developers worldwide.
History also reminds us: 📜 On October 31, 2008, Satoshi published the legendary whitepaper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. ⛏ On January 3, 2009, Satoshi mined the Genesis Block, producing the first 50 BTC ever created.
From a simple website to a $1+ trillion global revolution — Bitcoin’s journey all started 17 years ago today. 🌍🔥

Ripple has just transferred 200 million XRP (≈ $606M) to an unknown wallet on Tuesday (Aug 19). The move surprised the market, as it did not align with Ripple’s usual monthly unlock schedule, sparking intense speculation among traders.
🔹 Price Check: XRP is holding around $3.06, just above the 50-day SMA at $2.95, while the long-term structure remains intact with the 200-day SMA at $1.93. 🔹 RSI at 51 signals a neutral stance, with traders split between optimism for potential institutional demand (ETF-related news?) and fears of further sell pressure.
Some analysts suggest Ripple’s transfer could be strategic, possibly linked to its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) network or undisclosed institutional settlements.
However, bearish voices warn that this might be the start of renewed selling pressure, pointing to Ripple’s history of unloading XRP reserves.
What do you think — institutional play or sell-off incoming? 🤔

Ethereum Drops to $4,200 as Institutions & Whales Offload Thousands of ETH 🐋📉
Ethereum (ETH) slid to around $4,200 (-1.32% in 24h) as heavy sell pressure emerged from institutional profit-taking and a major whale’s return to the market.
🔹 Longling Capital sold 5,000 ETH worth $21.56M to lock in profits. Over the past two years, they withdrew 123,405 ETH from Binance at an average price of $2,349, later depositing back 70,800 ETH at $3,502, securing an estimated $184M in profits.
🔹 A dormant whale wallet (0x7378…) also resurfaced after nearly a year of inactivity, selling 3,075 ETH worth $13.25M at $4,310. The address still holds 15,708 ETH (~$67.5M).
These large-scale sell-offs have added pressure to ETH’s price action, leaving the market on edge as traders await the next move from big players that could shape Ethereum’s trend.
Will whales trigger deeper corrections, or will dip buyers step in? 🤔

US Government Holds Nearly $24B in Crypto Assets 🚨
According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the United States government currently holds digital assets worth around $24 billion (≈ Rp392 trillion). This massive stash includes both top cryptocurrencies and smaller low-cap tokens.
🔹 The majority is in Bitcoin (BTC) — over 198,000 BTC, valued at more than $22.9 billion. 🔹 They also hold 59,000 ETH (≈ $260M) and hundreds of millions in stablecoins like USDT and USDC. 🔹 Other assets include Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Binance Coin (BNB), Uniswap (UNI), Chainlink (LINK), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Render (RNDR) — and even meme/low-value tokens like POODLE, MONKEY, BABYTRUMP, and more.
Interestingly, Arkham also tracked a recent Bitcoin transaction on Wednesday (Aug 13) — a small transfer of 0.00224971 BTC (~$274), proving that the government’s wallets remain active.
What do you think this means for the crypto market if the US decides to move or liquidate some of these assets? 🤔

Ethereum surged to a fresh local high of $4,788, riding a strong uptrend before cooling off to $4,638 (-2.43%). Despite the pullback, ETH is still holding well above key support at $4,266.
📊 Technical Highlights: • Trend strength: Price remains above both the mid-Bollinger Band ($4,607) and long-term trendline. • RSI: Currently in the mid-50s — momentum is cooling but far from overbought, signaling room for another push. • MACD: Bearish crossover, but histogram shows mild selling pressure — no sign of a deep reversal yet. • Volume: Spike on recent high suggests strong trader interest.
⚡ Bullish Scenario: Holding above $4,266 could ignite a rally back toward $4,788 and possibly the $4,900–$5,000 psychological zone. ⚠️ Bearish Scenario: A break below $4,266 may open the door for a drop toward $3,940 support.
📌 ETH’s trend remains intact — this pullback might just be the fuel for the next leg up.
