Bitcoin 2026 opened yesterday and somehow managed to be more chaotic than the market

Bitcoin 2026 opened in Las Vegas with a chaotic start, including a $79k BTC price drop, no-shows by FBI Director and Acting Attorney General, a congressman's incorrect claim about Bitcoin's 2006 launch, and the removal of Samourai Wallet developer Keonne Rodriguez's wife for holding a protest sign. The event, intended to signal a new regulatory era, faced criticism for disorganization and symbolic inconsistencies.
