🚀 Crypto Price Surge Ahead? PI, Bitcoin & Altcoins – Europe’s Hot Take (Aug 11, 2025)

Markets hold their breath as PI Network defies gravity while Bitcoin flirts with key resistance.

Blood in the streets? Not today. Retail traders pile into altcoins—because nothing screams 'financial wisdom' like chasing 100x memecoins during macro uncertainty.

BTC's make-or-break moment: The $50K level becomes a psychological battleground. Institutional whales circle, but chain metrics hint at overheated derivatives. (Cue the 'this time is different' chorus.)

Regulatory shadowboxing: European lawmakers draft yet another MiCA amendment—because clearly, what crypto needs is more paperwork from bureaucrats holding bags of dead stablecoins.

Bottom line: Volatility's back on the menu. Whether that means lambos or liquidations depends entirely on which side of leverage you're standing.

One kidnapping a week: Crypto holders face rising threats

Crypto owners worldwide are increasingly targeted in violent crimes, with at least one kidnapping reported every week.

SatoshiLabs founder Alena Vranova warns that physical attacks against crypto holders—such as kidnappings, extortion, and torture—are now happening at least once a week. She stressed that wealth is not the only factor, as even people holding around $6,000 in crypto have been abducted, and some victims have died over sums of about $50,000.
