Pessimism, Paranoia, or Something Worse? - by ericvancewalton@ericvancewalton
A blogger questions whether the Coldcard wallet hack represents a straightforward security incident or a coordinated psyop by crypto influencers. They critique various influencer reactions that shift from “not your keys, not your coins” toward cautioning against cold storage and even suggesting selling or using exchanges/ETFs. The author expresses suspicion about sudden ideological flips in the crypto space, notes personal experience with hacks, warns readers to stay vigilant, and emphasizes judging people by actions over words while inviting others to share their views.


Bitcoin Activity Diverges From Price | Data on Active Wallets, Transactions, Fees and Hash Rate | Aug 2026 - by dalz@dalz
The post analyzes Bitcoin's on-chain activity in July 2026, contrasting price trends with network metrics such as active wallets, daily transactions, fees, and hash rate. It notes that while price remained in a drawdown, on-chain activity showed mixed signals: active wallets hovered around 400k–600k daily, daily transactions reached new highs driven by inscriptions and increased usage, fees remained low (~$0.31 avg per tx), and hash rate recovered after mid-year declines but hadn’t yet reached early-2026 peaks. The piece also highlights that transactions and price moved independently rather than in lockstep, with a negative correlation observed in 2026. Overall, network security remains strong, and the activity patterns suggest demand driven by inscriptions and settlement use rather than solely price movements.
