From  long term perspective, this is usually the phase where whales and smart money builds position. Retail comes later, when prices already feel safe.

If you DCA $100 per week into Bitcoin starting now, you can stack 0.1 $BTC in ~2.5 years. If you wait 2 years and then start the same DCA, it will take 5 years to reach 0.1 BTC (~2032) If you wait 5 years, the same goal will take 12 years (~2043) Same strategy, same amount. Only difference is when you start. Bitcoin is not an investment, it's a store of value. The sooner this is realized, the clearer it becomes that Bitcoin is never overvalued.

At first glance, this robot seems merely to be showing off its delicate sense of balance keeping the ball perfectly still without letting it fall. But then something fascinating happens : it adapts. When disturbed, it corrects itself, rebalances in real time, and moves with an almost instinctive precision. This isn’t just a technical demonstration it’s a moment where we witness machines beginning to cope with uncertainty, randomness, and subtlety qualities once thought to belong only to humans. It marks a leap from automation to autonomy. The line between “programmed behavior” and “adaptive intelligence” is blurring by the day. What’s more impressive is its dexterity. If this were a plate balanced on a human hand and wrist, even a skilled performer might struggle to keep the ball from rolling off. The true breakthrough lies in the precision engineering and programmable intelligence behind it powered. (of course, by AI)

Over the past hour, they also deposited 75M USDC, likely for extra margin. - It’s not a directional bet but likely part of their Elysium Global Arbitrage Fund, which they are known for, meaning the position is market neutral
