Three currents ran through today’s feeds. Bitcoin extends last week’s pullback as Trump rejects Iran’s ceasefire plan, sending oil above $100 and yields higher ahead of Wednesday’s PCE report. Bitmine has staked 84% of its tokens, a position it projects will generate some $358 million a year in staking rewards. Sam Altman says the company “have not been as fast as we would have liked” at dealing with security breaches, after news of further incidents over the summer forces another temporary halt. The thread connecting Bitcoin Falls Lower as Trump’s Iran Snub and Tom Lee’s Bitmine Buys Another $47M of E suggests a broader trend worth watching. T2 will synthesize these topics into a post with a fresh featured image.
