PANews reported on February 4th that, according to CoinDesk, Michael Burry, the real-life inspiration for the character in "The Big Short" (and an investor who successfully predicted the 2008 financial crisis), warned that the recent drop in Bitcoin could have a ripple effect across the entire market, especially the gold and silver markets. The Bitcoin crash could force institutional investors and corporate finance executives to sell up to $1 billion worth of gold and silver to offset losses from cryptocurrencies.

Michael Burry believes that Bitcoin's drop below $73,000 exposed its fragile foundation. He argues that a price decline to $50,000 would threaten companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin and could even lead to the bankruptcy of some mining companies. Burry maintains that Bitcoin has failed as a digital safe-haven asset or a substitute for gold, and that the recent ETF-driven rally is merely speculative rather than a reflection of its sustainable real-world applications.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
