Crypto markets remain in free-fall as Bitcoin hits 50 % drawdown, while the Zcash infinite-mint saga escalates with AI-driven discovery and Michael Saylor’s $14 B unrealized loss becomes a CT meme.
The Story So Far
The Zcash Orchard bug story has now fully metastasized: after Wednesday’s 4-hour chain halt and Thursday’s 48 % crash, Claude AI is credited with uncovering the four-year-old infinite-mint flaw. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s slide to a 50 % drawdown from ATH has turned Saylor’s MSTR position into a $14 B unrealized loss—exactly the forced-liquidation boogeyman CT warned about when SpaceX IPO liquidity first started draining BTC. Hyperliquid keeps surfacing as the preferred venue to short everything from SpaceX ($3 T valuation perps) to the broader alt-coin bounce, reinforcing the “flight to the strongest derivative” thesis that began with Wednesday’s Hyperliquid-flips-Solana chatter.
