Crypto Twitter is absolutely buzzing today. Saylor dropped the line 'Doing ₿usiness,' and 710,000 people instantly went wild, speculating that he’s about to buy more. Armstrong called Bitcoin 'an inflation-resistant store of value.' Meanwhile, the protocol layer casually demonstrated '99.85% hash rate staying put, operating as designed.' Faith levels are maxed out. Then I stumbled upon another piece of news today that almost no one paid attention to: crypto has been the worst-performing asset class so far in 2026. Forget comparing it to other things—it's underperforming a bunch of traditional assets. The most hyped-up asset and the worst-performing one today are the same BTC. I’m not here to bash faith—faith is about ten years down the road. I’m just dropping a reminder: faith and price are two separate charts, and this week, they’re pretty far apart. Gold and stocks are hitting new highs, while BTC is still pretending to sleep at 65,000. So I’m staying on the sidelines, holding my ammo. Waiting for it to wake up on its own. BTC Bitcoin
