Altseason? What's That? BTC Dominance Keeps Rising

Altcoins used to pop off during bull runs, but those days look long gone.

Bitcoin dominance—its share of the total crypto market—has been steadily climbing since 2023.

A flood of new coins and macroeconomic uncertainty have investors clinging to BTC like a security blanket. With higher risk and lower liquidity, altcoins have taken a bigger hit than Bitcoin in the latest market downturn.

Altseason is either officially dead or stuck in a prolonged hibernation.

Michael Saylor's Strategy Makes a Tiny BTC Buy

For a guy who usually goes big or goes home, Michael Saylor just made his smallest Bitcoin purchase ever.

On March 17, Strategy announced they scooped up 130 BTC for $10.7 million, with an average price of $82,981 per BTC. Yes, that's a lot of money for us mere mortals, but for a company that once bought 21,454 BTC in a single transaction, this is pocket change.

So, what's the play here? Either they're testing the waters, or they're holding fire for a better price.

Either way, it's Strategy's tiniest BTC flex to date.

Ethereum on the Verge of a Nosedive

ETH is hanging on by a thread.

After failing to bounce back from its recent dip, it's still stuck under the psychologically significant $2K mark. In fact, it's been chilling at its lowest value since October 2023. Not exactly the comeback story we were hoping for.

To make matters worse, ETH is losing ground to major altcoins. Case in point? XRP just hit a five-year high against ETH on March 15. Yikes.

Now, the big question: Can Ethereum claw its way back, or will traders throw in the towel if it dips below $1,900? If it can't hold that line, we might see long-term holders start heading for the exits.

Web3's Metadata Problem Is a Ticking Time Bomb

Web3 was meant to be a haven for decentralization and financial freedom. Instead, it's drowning in a metadata crisis that threatens everyone's privacy.

As Web3 grows, so do the risks—AI surveillance and metadata leaks are becoming major threats.

Even Elon Musk is stirring the pot, hinting at slapping the US Treasury on the blockchain. But is Web3 even close to protecting user data when regulators step in?

If we don't figure this out fast, Web3 could go from being the future of finance to a dystopian data free-for-all. And nobody wants that.
