The Bitcoin Use Case Nobody Wants to Mention
Bitcoin's getting hammered right now and all the usual bears are back out saying it's worthless and has no real use. I want to share something with you that I genuinely don't think gets talked about enough, and now's probably the right time to hear it since everything's red.
You know how people always bring up Bitcoin's power consumption like it's this huge knock against it? Bitcoin uses more electricity annually than Poland. More than Norway. It consumes more power than the entire global gold mining industry. You've heard all the versions of this argument and it always gets framed like it's a fatal flaw.
What they don't realize is that power consumption actually became one of the most important things about it.
We have tons of energy in this country that's trapped. And I mean all over the place:
- Sun baking in the desert with no grid to get it anywhere
- Wind farms in rural Texas producing more electricity than the grid can absorb
- Old abandoned wells
Sumco presented results yesterday. Three slides explain both its problems and opportunity. First of all pricing for 300mm wafers used in AI has increased over 200mm dramatically. Secondly, demand from AI for 300mm is forecast to increase dramtically. And thirdly, weak 200mm pricing has led to operating losses. With cyclical business buying as they inflect profitable tends to work best.
Bitcoin Signals Potentially Taking Shape on 3D Timeframe
As I mentioned in my post I don't have the best near-term read on Bitcoin. However, as we wait, signals will start to appear.
On the 3D timeframe, which was a primary driver of the explosive down-move, we have a TD9 buy setup. The daily version of this signal was the current local bottom. The 3D firing could lead to the bigger bounce towards mid-$80Ks.
This buy setup is supported by the RSI coming back above 30 (oversold). The RSI will generate a buy signal if it makes a higher high after coming out from below 30. If the 3D closes back below 30, selling could pick up steam and we get another leg down instead.
Price is also currently below the lower Bollinger Bands. A close below isn't great, while closing back inside the bands will support a possible reversal.
This isn't concrete enough, but we will watch these signals closely to get a better idea of if they're bullish or bearish.
Remember, though, the 3D death cross of the 50 and 200M
10 Things Traders Must Know Today (Feb 11, 2026)
1. NFP Day. Finally.
The delayed January jobs report drops this afternoon with expectations at 70K, but the whisper number has collapsed to 37K after WH adviser Hassett talked it down. The range of estimates spans -10K to +108K, so buckle up. This print comes with benchmark revisions that could reshape the entire labor market narrative.
2. The Labor Market is Flashing Yellow
Every recent read has come in soft. Challenger cuts hit the highest January level since 2009, JOLTS fell to the lowest since September 2020, ADP was weak, and continuing claims are easing. A miss today likely locks in that June cut (already fully priced at -25.2bps) and could pull April pricing above its current 40%.
3. Trump Threatens a Second Carrier Strike on Iran
Axios reports Trump said he might send another carrier to strike Iran if talks fail. This pushed crude higher despite a massive +13.4M barrel private inventory build. WTI is nearing $65/bbl, and Brent is ba
