forklog.media Bitcoin Price Falls Below $77,000 Amid Macroeconomic Risks

On April 28, the price of the leading cryptocurrency adjusted to $76,337 following an unsuccessful attempt to hold above $79,000. The market faced pressure from weak macroeconomic data from the US and a halt in fund inflows into spot ETFs. Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. Macroeconomic Factors The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index fell to a historic low of 49.8 points. Inflation expectations for the year ahead rose from 3.8% to 4.8%, and long-term expectations reached 3.5%, the highest since 2011.  Bitfinex noted that rising inflation expectations hinder the Fed from easing monetary policy. The regulator fears that premature rate cuts could accelerate price growth. The upcoming Fed meeting is expected to maintain the rate in the range of 3.5-3.75%. ETF Situation and On-chain Data On April 27, the net outflow from US bitcoin ETFs amounted to $263.18 million. This ended a nine-day streak of inflows and added caution among traders ahead of the FOMC meeting. Source: SoSoValue. Glassnode analysts recorded a 199% increase in net purchase volume, yet overall trading volumes fell by 13.8%. This suggests that the current surge is occurring with low speculative activity. Expert Forecasts QCP Capital considers $82,000 a key resistance level. GSR points out that the $80,000 mark remains an important psychological barrier, with a large volume of options concentrated around it. Analyst Ted Pillows highlighted the negative Coinbase premium and the downward trend of RSI. In his view, if the price does not return above $77,500, the risk of a deeper correction will increase. $BTC looks heavy here.▫️ Lost its 4-week uptrend▫️ Coinbase Premium has flipped negative▫️ RSI making LHs and LLsIf $77,500 level isn't reclaimed soon with strong spot demand, the chances of a bigger correction will go up. pic.twitter.com/KgbEcWBoOY— Ted (@TedPillows) April 28, 2026 Trader Peter Brandt added that the current "channel" chart pattern is not a classic reversal pattern and urged investors not to have inflated expectations.

forklog.media Messari Highlights the Popularity of Bitget’s AI Trading Services

Since February, Bitget's AI infrastructure has attracted nearly 500,000 users, according to a report by Messari Pulse. .@Bitget has made AI a core strategic pillar of its Universal Exchange (UEX) model via a broad product stack that applies AI to market analysis, trading workflows, developer infrastructure, and platform engagement.@kreisermatt on what you need to know 👇 https://t.co/LCoR2F0p3w— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 28, 2026 "Bitget has made AI one of the strategic pillars of its universal exchange model. Its products use neural networks for market analysis, trading, development, and user engagement," analysts noted. Messari emphasized that the trading platform's AI ecosystem is built around four components: GetAgent — conversational market analysis. GetClaw — autonomous trade execution. Agent Hub — developer access to platform features. Gracy AI — a trading recommendation interface based on the public market position of the exchange's CEO, Gracy Chen. The head of Bitget told ForkLog that the company views AI as the next "essential layer of trading infrastructure": "Artificial intelligence is becoming an integral part of modern trading infrastructure. The early adoption of our AI solutions shows that users increasingly expect the integration of analysis, execution, and strategy within a single platform." Implementation and Statistics The most noticeable user demand in the initial weeks was for the Gracy AI service. Within 11 days of its launch, 460,000 platform clients used the tool, generating 2.6 million responses and garnering over 390 million impressions. GetAgent surpassed 450,000 registered users. During the invitation-only access phase in the summer of 2025, the product amassed 100 million impressions and a waiting list of 25,000 people. Developer Infrastructure Agent Hub provides AI agents with direct access to market data, analytical modules, and trading functions of the exchange through a developer toolkit. The service currently offers macroeconomic analysis, technical signal search, market sentiment monitoring, and news feed aggregation. Autonomous Execution Messari specialists described GetClaw as a level of autonomous trade execution with a limited risk architecture. Operations are conducted through isolated sub-accounts. Limits and the isolated environment restrict the actions of the digital assistant. The product is available on Telegram. Bitget plans to integrate GetClaw with Discord, WhatsApp, and the exchange's mobile app soon. In April, Gemini launched the Agentic Trading feature, allowing AI models like Claude and ChatGPT to connect to users' trading accounts.

forklog.media Retaining the Crypto Community Post-Airdrop

In this edition of "Deconstruction," we explore with acting CMO of xRocket, Mikhail Kabanov, how to build a vibrant crypto community in the age of airdrops and why the vast majority of users disappear immediately after receiving an airdrop. ForkLog (FL): What exactly is a community, and when does someone become a part of it?  Mikhail Kabanov (M. K.): A community is a group of people united by a common global theme, a living organism that grows from a single building block.  In crypto, there is a difference between a holder who simply bought a coin on an exchange and a community participant. A community member reads news, interacts with others, and is interested in technologies. It is this engagement and interaction that make someone part of the global crypto community. FL: Is it true that almost everyone now joins the crypto community for profit rather than technology?  M. K.: Yes, the vast majority of people come solely for the "multipliers," especially during market booms. However, if they simultaneously learn about exchanges, protocols, and start reading news, they transform from profit seekers into those who drive the industry forward.  No matter how great a protocol is, without active users, it is of no use to anyone. FL: What is more important today, a unique product or a strong narrative?  M. K.: Truly groundbreaking and fantastically new products are extremely rare. Most new projects simply use old narratives, making the product faster and more stable.  Therefore, expecting people to flock to a unique technology is unrealistic: one must build a working product and systematically engage the audience. FL: Can a culture be built without a leader?  M. K.: Nothing works by itself: if there is no moderation and rules in a chat, it quickly turns into chaos. The presence of a founder in the information field and their communication with users is always a huge plus.  A community can exist under the management of a team of managers, but a leader serves as a powerful anchor for retaining attention to the project. FL: Can a genuine crypto community be bought with money by distributing grants and airdrops?  M. K.: An airdrop can be seen as a growth tool, but the likelihood of conducting it without audience dissatisfaction is close to zero. The vast majority of those who come for easy money, the airdrop hunters, will leave anyway. However, some of them can be converted into regular users if the project is ready to work closely with the audience and create a comfortable atmosphere. FL: What is the specificity of building a community within Telegram compared to X?  M. K.: X is excellent for virality: it's easy to gain a new audience there, but extremely inconvenient to work with an already gathered base.  Telegram loses in virality due to the lack of a smart feed, but it is perfect for targeted work with people. In the messenger, you can centrally gather an audience, divide it by interests through folders, and establish systematic communication. FL: What tools help retain people in Telegram?  M. K.: Tools like Telegram gifts, quizzes, trading bots, and token giveaways for activity work excellently. People love such interactives, and it generates great excitement in chats. But this only yields results within a comprehensive system: one-off contests alone cannot retain an audience for years. FL: What kills a community the fastest: a scam, a token price drop, or a bear cycle?  M. K.: A token price drop and hacks certainly have a negative impact, lowering participants' morale.  But the most frightening thing in any market is indifference to people from the team. If you don't care about the community's life and let the chat run itself, users will simply leave for a place where they feel more comfortable and valued. FL: The main advice for builders who are just creating their crypto project. M. K.: For a project, every user should be equally important and valuable. There are not many truly engaged "crypto enthusiasts" in the market, unlike the masses seeking free giveaways. You can't just pour money into advertising and get a loyal base: only systematic building and maintaining relationships with each individual works. This is a shortened version of the podcast.

forklog.media eCash Hard Fork Developer Responds to Bitcoin Community Criticism

Bitcoin developer Paul Sztorc provided further clarification regarding the eCash hard fork and dismissed allegations of "stealing" Satoshi Nakamoto's coins. To clear things up:— We do not take any of Satoshi's BTC— We **gift** Satoshi 600,000 eCash, instead of gifting 1.1 M— That is **600k more** than Satoshi got from Litecoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tether, etc (ie, 0)— Our coins are not named "BTC", they are named eCash. BTC…— Paul Sztorc (@Truthcoin) April 27, 2026 "We are not taking Satoshi's bitcoins, but gifting him 600,000 eCash. Balances will remain untouched," he wrote. Earlier, the programmer proposed relaunching the first cryptocurrency while preserving the network's basic architecture. Holders of digital gold would receive an equivalent amount of eCash.  However, Sztorc intends to distribute the coins presumably belonging to Nakamoto differently: from 1.1 million BTC, 600,000 eCash would be allocated to the Bitcoin creator, with the remaining 500,000 directed towards ecosystem development.  Presumed Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet. Source: Arkham.  According to him, this approach would help avoid a "zombie project" scenario, where a fork exists without genuine support from participants and developers. The community criticized the idea, arguing that asset redistribution contradicts property inviolability. Sztorc countered that the discussion concerns emission rules in the new blockchain, not real coins. He also suggested that a significant portion of early bitcoins might be irretrievably lost, as they have not been moved for over a decade. The developer added that in the "heated" debate surrounding this topic, misinformation sometimes spreads. Back in mid-April, Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp and a group of experts presented a draft of the controversial proposal BIP-361, which suggests freezing coins vulnerable to quantum computers.
