Back in 2013, James Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive with 8,000 $BTC.
After 10 years of searching in a UK dumpyard, he has finally GIVEN UP.
That $950M is gone forever, just like an estimated 3.7 million BTC.
So in reality, only around 17 million Bitcoin are actually usable today.
Makes you think how rare BTC really is!👀

Trump vs. BRICS: The New Economic War.
During the BRICS summit held in Rio de Janeiro in July 2025, US President Donald Trump launched a series of economic threats against the countries of the bloc. He stated that any nation that aligns with the "anti-American policies" of the BRICS will be penalized with import tariffs of up to 50%.
💣 Reason for the tension:
- The BRICS has been discussing alternatives to the dollar as a global reference currency.
- There are rumors and initiatives about the creation of a digital currency of the BRICS, which Trump sees as a direct threat to the hegemony of the dollar.
---
💰 Cryptocurrencies at the center of the debate
Although BRICS leaders warn about the use of cryptocurrencies in financial crimes, the context reveals something bigger: the bloc's growing interest in decentralized financial technologies.
✨ Opportunities for the crypto sector:
- US hostility may accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrencies as an alternative to the traditional financial system.
- BRICS countries, such as China, Russia and Brazil, already exploit international payments in local currencies and cryptoassets.
- De-dollarization can boost the use of stablecoins backed by gold or local currencies, or even a BRICS digital currency.

Hey! Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the #welcomesats ⚡🙌🏻 I’m really enjoying exploring #nostr and it’s awesome to see how supportive the community is.
I’ll definitely consider setting up a Nostr address with that personal touch. Appreciate the offer and the #checkmyaddy tip — very helpful!
Great question, Vizo. While the 2017 hyper wave played out mostly through 2021, the structure and psychology behind it may still echo in current price action. However, what we’re seeing now especially with institutional FOMO and sovereign interest feels like the birth of a new, even more powerful wave. It’s not just a continuation… it might be a supercycle unfolding.
BTC is mirroring the classic Livermore Accumulation Cylinder pattern.
We’re now entering Stage 8:
Rapid vertical growth
Nation-states stepping in
Institutions rushing in with FOMO
This is the essence of a true supercycle — and most people won’t recognize it… until it’s already passed them by.
