Bitcoin has once again shown how quickly sentiment can flip in the current market. After sliding over the weekend on geopolitical worries, the cryptocurrency recovered strongly during Monday's U.S. trading session, climbing back to about US$73,400, or roughly RM289,000 at current exchange rates. Oil also gave up some of its earlier spike, slipping back below US$100 a barrel, which helped calm nerves across broader markets.

The cryptocurrency space is often surrounded by noise. Prices move fast, opinions shift overnight, and every market cycle seems to produce a new wave of bold predictions. It is easy to see why so many people get pulled in by the excitement. But once the hype settles, a more important question remains: how should people actually understand crypto in a realistic and useful way?

A police raid in Kajang that was initially presented as an anti-scam operation has now turned into a major internal misconduct case, after 12 police officers were arrested over allegations that they extorted cryptocurrency from foreign nationals during the raid.

Every now and then, a headline comes along that sounds almost unreal until you read the details. This is one of them: a Malaysian entrepreneur has sold the domain AI.com for US$70 million (around RM276 million), and the entire deal was paid in cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin has seen a sharp decline, with its value dropping below RM360,000, marking one of its lowest points since it peaked at an average of RM450,000 earlier this year. The sudden downturn is believed to be tied to the recent announcement of global tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump last week.
