The weekend didn't have much to offer in the way of Bitcoin price action until late last night, when we saw such rapid gains that it liquidated over $100M in short positions. Outside of Bitcoin, BNB onchain activity tanks 37% in a week, scientists breach crypto algorithms with quantum computers, an AI bot causes a memecoin to go parabolic and a man who lost half a billion dollars of BTC in a landfill is suing the council for $647M in damages!Further reading:Crypto short liquidations breach $100M as Bitcoin reclaims $64KBNB DApp volumes down 25% in a week — Will BNB price follow?Scientists breach cryptographic algorithms with quantum computer: SCMPAn AI bot didn’t create the GOAT crypto token — But did shill itBritish man sues council for $647M over lost Bitcoin in landfillRise’n’Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

A disappointing 24 hours for BTC as it slides back toward testing the $60K resistance and many traders and analysts warn of some kind of capitulation in the works. However, several also point out that it may be a necessary correction to ignite a true bull run.

Bitcoin is catching its breath, price-wise, still unable to break through the $64K resistance, but also avoiding retesting the $60K support. Still, this may be the calm before the storm as several analysts predict a big finale this month. Elsewhere, the HBO Bitcoin documentary was finally released and the person "unveiled" (very much in inverted commas) as Satoshi Nakamoto wasn't any of the favorites on Polymarket! Speaking of Polymarket, new data shows only 12.7% of wallets on the platform are in profit. So, for all of this and much more, carve out just 10 minutes from your day.Further reading:BTC price retests $62K as Bitcoin preps 'very high impact' month endBitcoin following ‘perfect script’ to chart $150K all-time high this cycle — AnalysisPeter Todd named Satoshi Nakamoto in HBO documentaryExperts hint Donald Trump consider Robinhood exec to lead SEC: ReportOnly 12.7% of crypto wallets report profits on PolymarketThis episode is sponsored by Unlimit. Rise’n’Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

Bitcoin's price hit its head on $64K resistance again, so our markets experts take a look at why, and the reason isn't what many think. Within 24 hours of the HBO documentary that may or may not unmask Satsoshi Nakamoto, Len Sassaman's odds tank and are overtaken by Nick Szabo after the documentary's producer made a comment on CNN. The US Supreme Court rejects the case over Battle Born Investments' claim that it purchased the rights to $4.4B worth of BTC after the Silk Road collapse.

Well, that weekend was more like the “Uptober” we know and love as Bitcoin soared higher into the $60K range. Whether it was Bitcoin’s price resurgence or not — who knows — an “ancient whale” has awakened and started moving BTC mined one month after the cryptocurrency’s launch back in 2009! Also, a forthcoming HBO documentary that teases the unveiling of Satoshi Nakamoto’s true identity now has a frontrunner. According to Polymarket bettors, it’s Len Sassaman, and I’ll take you through why. For all of this and several stories outside of Bitcoin, carve out five minutes and let’s get you debriefed.Further reading:BTC short-term holders’ likely taking on more risk’ as realized cap spikes by $6B‘Ancient’ Bitcoin whale moves more BTC mined from 2009: ArkhamWho was Len Sassaman, and why might HBO think he is Satoshi Nakamoto?Founder of crypto ‘Ponzi’ scheme’ IcomTech sentenced to 10 years in prisonVitalik Buterin donates 100 ETH to Roman Storm defense fundAcademic paper suggests governments should attack public blockchainsRise’n’Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

Bitcoin dipped below $60K yesterday after wrestling with that psychological threshold and causing a spike in activity on exchanges so big that we haven’t seen its kind since 2022. This has seemingly helped BTC enjoy a green Friday so far. Outside of Bitcoin, there are some significant stories evolving. Visa unveiled its tokenized digital asset management platform with an eye on RWAs, PayPal settled the first corporate payment with its stablecoin PYUSD, and the director who identified QAnon authors teased a new Bitcoin documentary launching on HBO next week.Further reading:Bitcoin price dip below $60K sparks most exchange buying since 2022Visa unveils platform for tokenized digital asset managementPayPal, Ernst & Young settle first corporate payment via PYUSD stablecoinDirector who identified QAnon authors says HBO doc will expose SatoshiThis episode is sponsored by Unlimit.Rise’n’Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

We have seen another volatile 24 hours, but analysts and traders appearnot to be panicked, and to start today's episode I will go through whythat is. Although Bitcoin is down this week, it isn't the worst affected by the current turmoil — that goes to AI tokens, which lose over $4.5B in market cap in just threedays.

"Uptober" got off to a rough start as the horrors of conflict in the Middle East had far-reaching effects.

September has officially closed and it locks in one of the most noteworthy months of the year. Not only did Bitcoin buck the trend of "Rektember", but so much of the rest of the sector saw wins too. For example, XRP has broken its 3.5-year downtrend as traders eye a $1 price tag by the end of the year, and losses to hacks in crypto were down a massive 61.7% from August.
