GM Brothers and Sisters ✅The era of Bitcoin’s wild rallies is over Thielen believes that consecutive double-digit explosive gains are a thing of the past. This is because Wall Street traders sell call options after rallies for hedging, and profit-taking whales suppress the violent price explosions seen in previous cycles. ✅Market structure has changed The promoters in this cycle come from Wall Street, and investors focus more on economic data and Federal Reserve decisions. Bitcoin tends to follow a pattern of “quick news-driven rallies → then crab-walking” while waiting for the next major macro event. ✅Year-end target still $90,000 Thielen still expects Bitcoin to reach $90,000 by year-end, though it may first retest the mid-to-high $70,000s. He compares the recent recovery to early 2023, when Bitcoin rose from around $20,000 to $30,000. ✅Fed rate path is key After the September hike, the target range is 3.75%–4%. Rates were held steady recently, but inflation remains elevated. He expects another hike by December, followed by a more cautious approach, which could support a Bitcoin rally toward year-end. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Plan accordingly & Choose wisely ✨May your life radiant with Bitcoin✨ bitcoin:native

GM Brothers and Sisters ✅18th Birthday and Origins Bitcoin turned 18 on October 31, 2026. It was born against the backdrop of the financial crisis. The genesis block included the message “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks,” reflecting its goal of bypassing opaque institutions and enabling a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that removes the need for trust.⁠ ✅Early Milestones On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas; those coins would be worth roughly $780 million at today’s prices. Bitcoin traded for pennies in its earliest days, broke $1,000 for the first time in late 2013 amid the rise of the Silk Road darknet marketplace, and suffered the Mt. Gox collapse in 2014, which lost around 850,000 BTC and reinforced the lesson “not your keys, not your coins.” ✅2017 Bull Run and Controversies The price rose from below $1,000 at the start of 2017 to nearly $20,000 by December, coinciding with an ICO boom. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon called Bitcoin “a fraud.” The block-size war led to the hard fork that created Bitcoin Cash in August 2017. China banned ICOs and took action against exchanges. Craig Wright’s repeated claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto were rejected by the UK High Court in 2024. ✅Pandemic Bull Market and Subsequent Crashes Massive money printing during COVID-19 drove Bitcoin to nearly $69,000 by November 2021. China imposed a sweeping ban on cryptocurrency transactions and mining in September 2021. The collapse of FTX in November 2022 intensified the crypto winter and triggered regulatory hostility often referred to as “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.” ✅Institutionalization and Price Peak The U.S. SEC approved the first spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024. The price broke $100,000 by the end of that year and reached a new all-time high of more than $126,000 in October 2025. Traditional finance has become deeply involved, and even Dimon softened his stance. Bitcoin has transformed from a cypherpunk rebel into a Wall Street asset. ✅Current and Future Challenges Institutionalization has raised questions about whether the cypherpunk movement has been captured and whether ownership is becoming overly concentrated. Quantum computing poses a threat to Bitcoin’s cryptography. There are also AI-driven security threats and the largest crypto exchange hack on record. Long-term security is a concern: as the block subsidy trends toward zero, transaction fees recently accounted for only about 0.67% of miner revenue—raising the question of whether fees alone will be enough to secure the network. On the positive side, there has been regulatory progress via the GENIUS Act, greater SEC clarity, and Europe’s MiCA framework. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Plan accordingly & Choose wisely ✨May your life radiant with Bitcoin✨ bitcoin:native

GM Brothers and Sisters ✅Bitcoin Price: Fighting to Hold $80,000 Support BTC started the week defending the $80,000 psychological level. Over the weekend it briefly dropped to around $79,145, liquidating nearly $150 million in long positions in a short time. The $80,000 support failed on lower timeframes. There is a bid wall around $79,300 and sell orders clustered near $81,000. If the monthly candle closes near current levels, October will finish down about 4%, marking a second consecutive red October. This breaks the historical “Uptober” average of roughly +26% since 2010. Analyst Benjamin Cowen called the recent push to $87,000 a “fakeout” and expects continued weakness into year-end. Key resistance sits around $87,000. ✅Federal Reserve and Macro Data: Markets Expect Rates to Stay Unchanged This Week At Wednesday’s FOMC meeting, markets are pricing over 90% odds that the Fed will keep rates in the current 3.75–4% range. Consensus points to a 0.25% hike in December. Brent crude has cooled from last week’s high near $117 to around $110 per barrel. Economist Robin Brooks believes even a further rise in oil prices is unlikely to force the Fed to change course, giving Chair Kevin Warsh a temporary reprieve. Thursday brings the PCE inflation index and U.S. Q3 GDP. ✅Equities and Earnings: Tech Stocks and AI Sentiment Under Pressure South Korea’s KOSPI closed down 1.5% on Monday after earlier touching levels not seen since late July, reflecting tech-stock selling and foreign capital seeking safety. This is a heavy week for U.S. tech earnings: Microsoft and Alphabet report after the close on Wednesday; Amazon and Intel report on Thursday. Roughly 20% of S&P 500 companies will report during the week. The Nasdaq closed Friday at its lowest daily close since early August amid ongoing concerns over AI capital expenditure versus returns. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Plan accordingly & Choose wisely ✨May your life radiant with Bitcoin✨ bitcoin:native

GM Brothers and Sisters When someone gains control over money, they may use that power for their own benefit. Looking back at history—from gold-backed currencies to today’s fiat money—monetary systems have always been shaped by centralized power. Today, governments and central banks can influence the purchasing power of money through monetary policy and the money supply. Inflation causes the money you worked hard to earn to gradually lose its value over time. Bitcoin was created to establish a monetary system that does not depend on any single authority. Satoshi Nakamoto identified the core of the problem: traditional money requires people to trust those in power, yet history has repeatedly shown that this trust is not always reliable. He therefore proposed a revolutionary approach: Don’t trust — verify. Bitcoin does not ask you to trust any particular bank, government, or individual. Through cryptography, proof-of-work, and a distributed network, participants around the world jointly maintain the system. Every node can independently verify transactions and reject any records that do not follow the rules. What does this mean? For thousands of years, humanity has struggled to escape the problem of monetary power being concentrated in the hands of a few. Bitcoin offers a different possibility: a monetary system that does not require blind trust in those in power, but instead allows anyone to verify the rules themselves. This may be Bitcoin’s truly revolutionary aspect. It is not merely an investment asset; it is a rethinking of money, power, and freedom. “Fix the money, fix the world.”

In a world where currency is constantly being diluted, if you only strive to earn money without ever considering how to preserve purchasing power, you may spend your entire life chasing after wealth. This is why more and more people are beginning to rethink gold, Bitcoin, and other assets that are not easily subject to unlimited issuance. What truly matters is not just how much you earn, but how much real wealth you retain over time.

GM Brothers and Sisters You would do well to possess assets—things that others cannot dilute the value of, no matter how much effort they exert. A storm is coming.

GM Brothers and Sisters ✅Bitcoin Price Action BTC briefly rose to $83,300 after the Wall Street open, the highest level since October 14, before pulling back toward around $82,000. Price tried to challenge the 21-day simple moving average near $83,230 but was rejected there, which is acting as short-term resistance. ✅U.S. Stocks and Earnings Catalyst U.S. stocks rose on better-than-expected Q3 earnings: General Motors and 3M both beat expectations; 3M also raised its profit forecast. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.2%. The S&P 500 rose about 0.6% and the Nasdaq about 0.5%. The earnings helped the market rebound from last week’s tech-led sell-off. ✅Oil Price Moves U.S. WTI crude briefly topped $100 per barrel early in the day, then dropped nearly 5% to below $96 as equities rallied. The oil drop eased some inflation and risk-asset pressure. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Plan accordingly & Choose wisely ✨May your life radiant with Bitcoin✨ bitcoin:native

GM Brothers and Sisters Today I came across a very interesting quote and would like to share it with everyone: “We live in a society where highly capable individuals are often discouraged from speaking openly, for fear of offending those with less knowledge or insight.” －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Plan accordingly & Choose wisely ✨May your life radiant with Bitcoin✨ bitcoin:native

GM Brothers and Sisters No charts, data, or Bitcoin-related news today. Because some things have happened to me recently, I’m simply sharing a quote I really like: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change." "Courage to change the things I can." "And wisdom to know the difference." Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

GM Brothers and Sisters I dare say that when Bitcoin reaches 200,000, 500,000, or even 1 million in the future. These doomsday bears will still be saying the same things. Plan accordingly & Choose wisely ✨May your life radiant with Bitcoin✨
