MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Guide Issues a 93% Crash Warning to Investors

MicroStrategy, now Strategy, has published a Bitcoin guide that warns buyers that the asset has already crashed 93.1% once.　　Executive Chairman Michael Saylor shared it over the weekend. The document devotes more space to losses, custody failures, and position sizing than to upside.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　What the MicroStrategy Bitcoin Guide Warns About　　That 93.1% drop, which occurred at the 2011 low, is the deepest in Bitcoins trading history. The guide adds a worst one-year return of minus 83.6%. Its point is not about direction.

XPR Network suffers $9M proton.swaps exploit – Can confidence recover？

XPR Network, a layer 1 blockchain, was exploited after the attacker drained about 1.56 billion XPR, worth roughly $4.03 million, from proton.swaps.　　The attacker exploited a flaw in its withdrawal function, which accepted negative amounts. This enabled the attacker to manipulate internal balances before withdrawing real tokens.　　The attacker then applied this technique across multiple asset pools, including XUSDC, XMD, METAL, LOAN, and bridged assets. Within just 11 minutes of the launch of the attack, the attacker stole more than $9 million in liquidity.　　Source: X　　Meanwhile, 563 million XPR worth roughly $1.46 million moved through the LOAN protocol after the attacker borrowed against stolen stablecoins. That raised the total XPR touched to roughly 2.12 billion, or 6.5% of the circulating supply.　　Discover more　　Track Market Trends　　Choose POS Systems　　NEWS　　Later on, the attacker moved 764 million XPR, worth roughly $1.98 million, and 150,000 METAL, worth approximately $195,000, to another account.　　Network producers later identified the exploit and patched the contract. Ultimately, the incident shows how weak input validation can quickly amplify losses across interconnected liquidity pools.　　XPR sell-off tests market confidence　　The on-chain drain quickly spilled into XPRs price action, with sellers taking control as confidence weakened. On the 11th of September, the XPR traded near $0.00276 before falling sharply

Why AI faces an immediately difficult choice: Nationalize or decentralize – AIs 2026 slowdown dilemma

This weekend, on Sept. 12, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for coordinated limits on the advance of frontier AI and laid out a three-stage plan. Anthropic plans to begin by inviting external evaluators into the company with access mostly comparable to its internal risk teams.　　Related Company Anthropic AI safety and research company　　The proposed review team would receive company equipment, workspace access and opportunities to speak with employees. Its contract would permit publication of key findings without Anthropic controlling the conclusion, subject to defined legal, security, privacy and commercial constraints. Outsiders could then test whether the companys safety commitments shape real training and deployment decisions.　　Access inside one lab cannot slow a competitive field. Anthropic may open its systems to review while rival companies and governments continue to accelerate. Amodeis second stage therefore calls for regulation and government-mediated coordination across a critical mass of U.S. frontier developers. His third seeks verifiable agreements among states, with democracies preserving enough strategic room relative to China to pace development.　　The nationalization-versus-decentralization debate merges three different powers. Public ownership changes who receives the economic gains and influences corporate decisions. Independent access determines who can inspect frontier development. A legally enforceable halt directly constrains how fast a covered

Anthropic says Claude used for cyberattacks and surveillance

Russian- and Chinese-speaking operators used Anthropics Claude to automate cyberattacks, the company said in a Thursday report.　　Russian-speaking operator “JackPoterz” used customized AI-driven workflows to automate large parts of the attack chain, targeting more than 20 organizations, including government ministries and intelligence bodies. The actor also targeted embassies and diplomatic missions in Ukraine and Europe.　　Chinese-speaking operators also used Claude as an engineering and orchestration layer for vulnerability research, with one workflow producing more than a dozen possible zero-day findings in network-appliance firmware in one month.　　Anthropic said AI is changing the economics of cyberattacks, allowing individual operators to complete breaches in two to three hours and handle dozens of victims in parallel.　　Separately, a likely Bamako-based independent consultant working with Mali‘s state intelligence service used Claude as the primary engineering workforce to build a population-scale domestic surveillance system that monitors roughly 25 million SIM cards across all three of the country’s national mobile operators.　　The deployed platform ran on-premises using local models, with Claude providing software design and engineering support. It was designed to generate intelligence dossiers on phone numbers without requiring a court order.

Critical Bitcoin Lightning bugs exposed nodes to fund theft and restart failure

Lightning Development Kit, a toolkit for building Bitcoin Lightning applications, released v0.2.6 on Sept. 9 with fixes for bugs that could divert small amounts of a nodes funds or prevent saved channel state from loading.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $77,139.70 24-hour change: down 0.31% 24H Down 0.31% 7D Down 3.20% 30D Up 22.49%　　LDK packages a Lightning implementation as a software development kit for uses including mobile wallets and payment-service infrastructure. The update gives developers maintaining affected applications fixes for both a financial risk and a condition that can disrupt normal node restarts.　　A splice lets a node add funds to or remove funds from an existing payment channel. LDK‘s API documentation describes this as spending the channel’s funding output and replacing it with a new one. In practical terms, it changes the money committed to the channel through a replacement funding transaction.　　That transaction has costs shared between the participants. The initiating node pays fees for specified common parts, along with its own contributed inputs and outputs. The fee calculation therefore affects how much of the nodes money pays for the operation.　　The splice flaw could let a malicious peer cause excess fee allocation, with the excess going to that peers output.

Goldman Sachs backs 25bp Fed hike after CPI

Goldman Sachs has revised its Federal Reserve forecast and now expects a 25-basis-point rate increase when policymakers conclude their Sept. 15–16 meeting.　　CoinDesk reported on Sept. 13 that Goldman abandoned its previous forecast for no change after August consumer inflation data and interest-rate futures strengthened the case for a hike.　　The Federal Open Market Committee will announce its decision at 2 p.m. Eastern Time on Sept. 16. A press conference is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., according to the Federal Reserves official calendar.　　A quarter-point increase would lift the federal funds target range from 3.50%–3.75% to 3.75%–4.00%. The Fed has not committed to that decision, and futures pricing represents market expectations, not an official indication from policymakers.　　Goldman Sachs has abandoned its forecast for the Fed to keep rates unchanged next week.　　The bank now expects a 25 basis point rate hike at the September 15–16 meeting.　　That could put pressure on Bitcoin and other risk assets, as higher rates generally mean tighter financial… pic.twitter.com/bY0exwpJ1Z　　— That Martini Guy ₿ (@MartiniGuyYT) September 13, 2026　　Goldman Sachs changes its Fed rate hike forecast　　Goldmans economists said the August Consumer Price Index report produced only a small revision to their core Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation estimate.

Elon Musk Grok AI Predicts Solana Could Hit $400+ By 2027

The Elon Musk-backed Grok AI predicts that by January 1, 2027, Solana (SOL) could trade around $350–$450, with a target range of $380–$420, assuming a full-blown crypto bull market returns by late 2026.　　As of September 13, 2026, SOL trades just above $100, significantly below its January 2025 all-time high of around $295–$296. This outlook surpasses many forecasts in the $125–$260 range and aligns with optimistic projections like Standard Chartereds $400 target for 2027.　　The positive scenario relies on improved macro liquidity, increased Solana ETF inflows, successful network upgrades, and ongoing dominance in high-throughput activities.　　Historically, SOL has performed well mid-cycle, making a rally from the current levels to the mid-to-high $300s possible in a strong bull market. While speculative, SOL could reach the $350–$450 range by early 2027 if market conditions are favorable, with a focus on $380–$420.　　Grok AI Predicts SOL Price: Technical Analysis Supporting the $400+ Thesis　　Solana is back at an important decision point after failing to hold its latest move toward the $105-$106 region.　　For $SOL , Im treating $98.5-$100 as the support zone keeping the broader rebound intact while daily acceptance above $106 would bring $109-$110.5 back into focus.… pic.twitter.com/9yDM4IMeNi　　— ????????????????

Mexico seizes 300 GPUs at suspected illicit crypto farm

Mexican authorities have seized roughly 300 GPUs from a suspected illicit crypto mining farm in Puebla while investigating possible electricity theft and money laundering.　　Reuters reported on Sept. 12 that investigators discovered the operation in the mountainous municipality of Tlaola, near infrastructure connected to a hydroelectric system.　　The equipment included approximately 80 medium-voltage terminals, eight satellite antennas and a pedestal transformer. Authorities described the site as the fourth comparable mining operation found in the region since early 2025.　　No agency has publicly identified the cryptocurrency being mined. Investigators have not named an organized crime group, disclosed related wallet addresses or announced any arrests.　　Stolen Power and Crypto Mining Emerge as New Tools for Latin American Cartels　　Reuters reported that Mexican authorities uncovered a suspected illicit crypto mining operation in the mountainous Tlaola area of Puebla state, seizing 300 GPUs, 80 medium-voltage terminals and eight… pic.twitter.com/V29vDCjFkG　　— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) September 13, 2026　　Mexico crypto mining raid uncovered industrial equipment　　Personnel from Mexico‘s Attorney General’s Office, the Mexican Navy and Pueblas Public Security Secretariat participated in securing the property, according to a local report published after the operation.　　Authorities found around 300 specialized computers operating inside the building.

Bitcoins slide below $77,000 sets up a Monday tech test as AI leaders sound warning

Bitcoin traded below $77,000 on Sunday as a weak week extended into the weekend, leaving traders facing fresh AI uncertainty and an approaching Federal Reserve meeting.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $77,077.17 24-hour change: down 0.44% 24H Down 0.44% 7D Down 3.18% 30D Up 23.06%　　Bitcoin traded at $76,695 near press time, down 0.80% over 24 hours and 4.08% over seven days. The retreat puts the cryptocurrency back near a price area it visited before the weekend, with a Federal Reserve meeting also approaching.　　The price area is also familiar. CryptoSlate‘s Sept. 11 coverage reported an intraday low of $76,676 on Sept. 10, ahead of the Saturday AI statements. That chronology makes the weekend’s move an extension of existing weakness rather than the beginning of a sell-off that can be attributed entirely to the new warnings.　　The scale and timing of the move matter. Bitcoin was still up 22.34% over 30 days, putting the latest losses within a broader monthly recovery.　　Reported 24-hour trading volume was about $13.44 billion, down 49.98%. That describes how much trading occurred; it does not measure available buy orders or show which news prompted investors to sell. The price decline and lower turnover are separate measurements: neither reveals a

Canary in Cardiff: Three leaders test the U.K. union

The pro-independence leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have scheduled a Cardiff summit for Sept. 14 to discuss cooperation on four policy areas, including self-determination.　　SummaryThree pro-independence first ministers plan Monday talks covering self-determination, economic policy, energy, and European relations.The Telegraph reports leaders will sign an agreement, but officials have not published its text.Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth rejected claims that the summit seeks Britains immediate breakup.Scotland cannot hold an independence referendum unilaterally because constitutional matters remain reserved to Westminster authorities.Northern Irelands statutory referendum route depends on a judgment by Britains Northern Ireland secretary alone.　　The Telegraph reported on Sept. 13 that Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle ONeill would sign a joint declaration or memorandum of understanding.　　Mary Lou McDonald, Sinn Féin‘s president and leader of the opposition in Ireland’s Dáil, is expected to join the meeting at St Davids Hotel in Cardiff Bay.
