Through this business, I met many very talented venture capitalists, among whom Haseeb Qureshi is undoubtedly the brightest star, which is why I invited him to join me in co-founding our venture capital business.I have been a VC for many years, and in my 30-year venture capital career, Haseeb has built one of the best partner teams I have ever experienced, and he is the backbone of the team. Being able to co-found our venture capital business with Haseeb has been an extremely valuable journey.

The cryptocurrency market research firm Santiment posted on social media that Bitcoin is about to reach a milestone— the number of addresses holding at least 100 BTC is about to surpass 20,000.A wallet holding 100 or more Bitcoins currently has a minimum value of $6.78 million, and these wallets are clearly primarily held by ultra-high-net-worth individuals, funds, long-term holders, or institutions. When this number continues to rise during or after a price decline (as seen recently), it can be viewed as a bullish signal. However, the total supply held by key stakeholders has not shown significant growth, which is also a reason for the continued pressure on prices.If the number of 100+ BTC addresses is increasing, it means that more large holders are diversifying their holdings rather than a few controlling everything. In this sense, it indicates a reduction in concentration at the top. But it also suggests that wealth is concentrating among strong hands compared to small retail wallets. Therefore, this is not a signal of decentralization at the most micro level, but it does indicate that more independent entities are joining the ranks of "whales."Historically, the growth in the number of whale addresses often occurs during accumulation phases, which subsequently supports price recovery. The increase in wallet numbers needs to match the growth in total supply, while retail investors gradually sell their tokens to large wallets. History shows that retail traders eventually panic sell or take profits too early, allowing this phase to materialize.

The report noted, "BTC continues to decline, and market sentiment is weakening: Bitcoin has dropped 29% in the past 30 days, pushing the NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss) indicator close to the 'anxiety zone' and briefly entering the 'fear zone'.Meanwhile, leverage has completed its reset, and the size of open contracts has fallen back to levels not seen since September 2024. Mid-term holders dominate the distribution, but selling is slowing down: realized selling is still mainly concentrated among those holding for 1 to 5 years, although in the past month, the distribution speed of coins held for over 1 year has noticeably slowed.Miner profit margins are under pressure, and hash rate is contracting: over the past 90 days, the total network hash rate has decreased by about 14%, reflecting tightening mining economics. Historically, similar situations often herald stronger subsequent returns for Bitcoin."
