August Curse” crash Bitcoin’s price to below $90k?I hope so.

Over the past 12 years, Bitcoin has posted losses in August eight times. While the average return is +1.48%, the average August loss has been about 11.4%.
If similar losses repeat this year, Bitcoin could drop to $105,000, a level that some traders are already eyeing as a “buy the dip” opportunity.
Kiyosaki remains focused on long-term Bitcoin fundamentals. He expressed more concern about America’s ballooning national debt and policy missteps by the Fed and Treasury than the temporary market pullback.
“The Bitcoin August Curse will make most Bitcoin investors richer,” Kiyosaki writes.
Arthur Hayes Suggest Near-Term Correction
Kiyosaki’s short-term caution echoes recent bearish comments from BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes. On Saturday, Hayes reiterated that Bitcoin could retreat to $100,000 in the near-term, citing risks tied to disappointing U.S. economic data.
He revealed he had already taken profits ahead of a potential dip.
Y? US Tariff bill coming due in 3q … at least the mrkt believes that after NFP print. No major econ is creating enough credit fast enough to boost nominal gdp. So $BTC tests $100k, $ETH tests $3k. Come see my @WebX_Asia Tokyo keynote Aug 25 for more info. Back to the beach. https://t.co/zuHlwgQKC7

Hayes particularly expressed disappointment in the July Non-Farm Payrolls report , which showed just 73,000 new jobs, well below expectations.
Long-Term Confidence Intact
Despite the bearish sentiment for August and even September, historically another weak month, long-term optimism remains. Kiyosaki has previously predicted Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2030 .
As of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $114,300, down about 4% over the past week. The largest cryptocurrency has lost around $170 billion in market cap since achieving its all-time high of $123,000 on July 14.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has bounced back into “Greed” territory on Monday after dipping to “Neutral” over the weekend.
Bitcoin Hyper项目进展
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER)已吸引了大量关注。作为比特币的高性能第二层解决方案，其采用Solana虚拟机以实现智能合约与更快的交易速度，这也是比特币现金仍缺乏的功能。
该项目通过其Canonical Bridge连接比特币主网与Hyper Layer 2网络，用户可以锁定BTC并在Bitcoin Hyper上获取代币。
这种架构在提升速度与多样性的同时，依旧保证了安全性。
