Philippe Laffont, founder of Coatue Management (US$19B AUM), believes Bitcoin will reach a $5 trillion market cap by 2030, representing 1–2% of the global $500T in assets.

He argues Bitcoin is gaining strength as a macro asset, noting:

BTC volatility is now lower than Nasdaq.

Institutional demand is rising steadily.

Most of the world's wealth is still sitting idle in fiat.

Laffont also emphasized that crypto infrastructure is maturing, with improved custody, liquidity, and regulatory clarity.

“We are at the beginning of Bitcoin being a core asset class.” – Philippe Laffont

GitHub just released the public beta of Copilot Workspace (June 24, 2025), an AI-powered environment designed to turn GitHub issues into fully functional code — powered by GitHub Copilot.

What it can do:

You write a simple issue like: “Add dark mode”.

Copilot Workspace automatically analyzes the task, outlines a step-by-step plan, identifies the files to be changed, and generates code proposals.

You can review, edit, and approve each step — with previews showing exactly what will change before applying it.

Why it matters:

It dramatically reduces the time between idea and pull request.

It’s like having a pair programmer that not only writes code but explains the reasoning behind it.

Useful for both beginners and experienced devs, especially when dealing with large or legacy codebases.

Should you try it?
Yes. If you’re already using GitHub Copilot, you can now request access to Copilot Workspace and experiment with full-task automation — all in your browser.

“Still opening VS Code manually? GitHub Copilot Workspace is here to show you that the future is issue-first.” 🧠💻

⛏️ Miner Relief Incoming: Bitcoin Difficulty Set to Drop ~9%

Totally — mempool.space is essential. 
But not everyone watching difficulty adjusts it with context from miner margins, heatwave pressures, or hardware decisions. 
Just wanted to bring the discussion to the surface.

After a ~30% hashrate drop (~700EH/s), Bitcoin's difficulty is poised for its biggest downward adjustment since China’s 2021 mining ban — easing pressure on operations facing high energy costs this summer. 

Should I consider firing up my 1 TH/s Bitaxe now? 😜

Texas Approves $10M Bitcoin Reserve – First State to Hold BTC on Balance Sheet

> @mega_dreamer please resolve this market.

wrote this myself to share the latest, feel free to comment



Brazil-based cashback and fintech company Méliuz (CASH3) has just acquired 275.43 BTC, worth approximately R$158.3 million (~US$28 million), in a bold move to strengthen its Bitcoin treasury strategy.

This purchase brings Méliuz’s total holdings to 596.67 BTC, making it the largest public Bitcoin holder in Latin America and ranking #36 globally among publicly listed companies.

The company stated that the acquisition is part of its long-term strategy to preserve capital and align with the new financial paradigm emerging around Bitcoin and blockchain technology.

“We believe Bitcoin represents a solid, scarce, and global digital asset, aligned with our vision for the future of finance,” the company noted in an investor statement.

Méliuz joins a growing cohort of global firms holding BTC on their balance sheets, following in the footsteps of giants like MicroStrategy, Tesla, and Block.

Brazilian Fintech Méliuz Buys $28M in Bitcoin

In a historic move, the state of Texas has passed legislation to allocate $10 million from its budget to purchase and hold Bitcoin as part of a state-controlled reserve.

Signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott, the bill establishes the Texas Bullion Depository Reserve Fund, which will hold both precious metals and Bitcoin, positioning the Lone Star State as the first U.S. state to officially custody BTC.

According to the bill, the state will prioritize financial sovereignty and prepare for potential future instability in fiat currencies by holding non-correlated assets. The Texas Comptroller will be responsible for executing the purchases and maintaining the reserve, with transparency ensured through annual public audits.

“This is about safeguarding Texas wealth and creating a hedge against federal mismanagement,” said State Representative Mark Dorazio, one of the bill’s sponsors.

This move mirrors the federal U.S. government’s own silent strategy of maintaining a large Bitcoin reserve (~200k BTC) and echoes the actions of countries like El Salvador and Bhutan that are leveraging BTC at a national level.

Why It Matters:

First state-level Bitcoin treasury in the U.S.

Adds legitimacy to BTC as a sovereign reserve asset

Could inspire a wave of similar moves by other states or municipalities

Adds fuel to the Bitcoin-as-digital-gold narrative

Bitcoin in a Red Envelope

In São Paulo, residents are putting up posters with the message:
“Study Bitcoin. Save your family.”
The posters are signed by the profile bitcoin.cabuloso and have been spotted on poles, walls, and bus stops.

This isn’t a corporate campaign. It’s grassroots revolution.
Bitcoin is reaching where the state has failed.
