SAN FRANCISCO, 11 FEB — Bitcoin in freefall. Meme coins obliterated. The so-called 'digital gold' cracks as panic spreads through Silicon Docks. Not war, not crisis—but a seized ledger and a thief’s downfall. Confidence evaporates. Traders flee. What remains when the code no longer hides the fraud? #CryptoCollapse

SAN FRANCISCO, 11 FEBRUARY — The exchange floors tremble, not from artillery, but from silent cascades of red figures flashing across black glass. Bitcoin, once hailed as digital bullion, has bled thirty-five percent since October’s peak. In the neon-lit warrens of Silicon Docks, traders whisper of the Chen Zhi seizure—127,000 coins seized by Treasury, a dragon’s hoard stripped in one stroke—exposing the myth of anonymity. The supposed fortress of decentralization breached by state ledger-forges. Meme coins, propped by presidential favor, now lie in ruins: Melania’s token down ninety-five. Stablecoins pulse with artificial life, tethered to dollars and debt, yet unshielded by central guarantors. The Genius Act, meant to liberate, may instead unmoor the financial bedrock—risk unanchored, credit untethered. If speculation replaces trust, the system will not reform—it will rupture. The lesson is clear: when panic strikes, only what is truly backed survives.
