🔼 Hash Ribbon flashes a BTC buy signal

Charles Edwards from Capriole says the Hash Ribbon indicator has triggered a new buy signal for $BTC.

Hash Ribbon tracks Bitcoin miner behavior via network hashrate. It looks for miner capitulation and recovery, which has often aligned with major market bottoms.

➡️ Based on 30D and 60D SMAs of Bitcoin hashrate
➡️ Buy signal triggers when 30D crosses above 60D after capitulation
➡️ Enhanced version confirms with BTC price momentum
➡️ Signals are rare, usually 1–2 times per year

Recent Hash Ribbon signals
● Aug 2022: $22.6K
● Dec 2022: $16.9K
● Jul 2023: $29.1K
● Jul 2024: $55.7K
● Jan 2025: $99.8K
● Mar 2025: $85.4K
● May 2025: $93.5K
● Jul 2025: $107.8K
● Jan 2026: $89.3K

Hash Ribbon is a long-term confirmation tool, not a precise bottom picker. It does not account for external pressure like regulation, macro flows, or positioning.

Late 2025 was a reminder of that. Persistent selling during US sessions, Coinbase discounts, tax loss harvesting, and a strong bid for precious metals kept BTC under pressure despite improving on-chain signals.

If BTC is still a bet on geopolitical disorder, 2026 may be the year it starts acting like one again.

🌐 Why the internet is getting worse

The internet used to feel like constant progress. Now search is full of ads, feeds feel random, and subscriptions cost more while offering less. Journalist Edward Zitron argues this is not a glitch. It’s the end result of the current tech model.

After 2008, years of cheap money allowed tech companies to chase growth without caring about profits. Services felt amazing because they were subsidized. Cheap rides, free storage, content without ads. Users got used to quality that was never sustainable.

When cheap money ended, the model broke. Markets demanded profits, but platforms were already saturated. With no room to grow users, companies started extracting more value from the ones they already had. Product quality declined by design.

Writer Cory Doctorow calls this process enshittification. Platforms first serve users, then advertisers, then shareholders. Each step makes the product worse.

Zitron sees AI not as a breakthrough, but as a tool that fits this phase. It replaces people with cheap content, boosts metrics, and helps justify valuations. User experience becomes secondary.

The result is simple. Tech giants now extract rent from the infrastructure we depend on. Until incentives change or systems break, the internet keeps getting worse.

🕯 Kiyotaka introduces a new way to read prediction markets

Kiyotaka announced a full trading stack for prediction markets, covering everything from visualization to trade execution. The goal is to see how capital is positioned before probabilities start moving.

In practice, it looks like this. On the Portugal presidential election market, a large sell wall appeared hours before a sharp drop in implied probabilities.

Positioning shows up before the move.
