Vitalik Voices Support for Haseeb: Has Built One of the Best Partner Teams, is a Team Leader
On February 27, Dragonfly Capital founder Bo Feng took to X (formerly Twitter) to set the record straight, stating:
“I don’t tweet often, but I want to clarify some facts today. When Dragonfly launched, it was a fund of funds (FOF). Through that business, I met countless talented VCs—and Haseeb was easily the brightest among them, which is why I invited him to co-found our venture arm. Over the years, as the world’s first international pure-play crypto venture firm, we’ve refined our methodology through 3-4 market cycles.”
He added:
“I’ve spent 30 years in venture capital, and Haseeb has built one of the best partner teams I’ve ever worked with. Our roles: I focus on CeFi and global exchanges; Tom Schmidt is a top DeFi and consumer investor of our generation; Rob Hadick is a leading voice in stablecoins and fintech; and Haseeb is our clear leader. Co-founding our venture arm with Haseeb has been an incredibly valuable experience, and I look forward to collaborating for many more

Willy Woo: Bitcoin May Have Ended Bear Market as of Q4, $45K Typical Bear Market Bottom
February 27 — Renowned analyst Willy Woo said this round of investor-driven bearish selling looks to be winding down, giving Bitcoin some price breathing room. It could enter a roughly one-month sideways consolidation phase, or rebound to the mid-$70,000s — but that level will likely face resistance.
The broader market backdrop remains deeply bearish, with both spot and derivatives liquidity worsening. “I’ve never seen Bitcoin hold an uptrend when both spot and derivatives liquidity are weakening at the same time,” he noted.
For a fairly rational call, Woo believes the fourth quarter could be a better window for this bear market trend to end, while actual bullish momentum could return in Q1 or Q2 2027. The ~$45,000 level is a typical bear market bottom range.
Bitcoin has been in a long-term global macro bull market from 2009 through 2026. Should a structural breakdown hit that macro backdrop, $30k will be the next support level, and $16k will be the final defense line to keep

Bitwise CIO: Bitcoin Is Currently in the Capitulation Phase, Price Drop Driven by Long Liquidations Rather Than Market Manipulation Conspiracy
**Feb 27: Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan on Bitcoin’s Drop, Conspiracies & Outlook**
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said Tuesday, Feb 27: “Conspiracy theories are swirling. It started with Binance, then Wintermute, then an unknown offshore macro hedge fund, then ‘paper Bitcoin’—today it’s Jane Street’s turn; next week it’ll probably shift to someone else.”
The real driver of Bitcoin’s decline? A group of previously long Bitcoin holders offloaded their exposure: via spot markets, unwinding leveraged positions, and selling call options to cut risk. Their motivations? The “four-year cycle,” quantum computing fears, a push into AI startups, and other factors.
Most of that selling is already done, and we’re forming a bottom. New all-time highs are still in the cards. This is a typical crypto winter—one that’ll eventually give way to a typical crypto spring. People always want someone to blame; I get that. But reality’s often more mundane than conspiracies.

Economist: AI Productivity Dividend Difficult to Resolve Fiscal Constraints, or Only "Buy Time" for High-Debt Economies
Feb. 27 – Economists note that even if artificial intelligence (AI) delivers a productivity boom, it won’t fix major economies’ fiscal dilemmas fundamentally—but it could buy them more time to adjust.
OECD economist Filiz Unsal says AI-driven productivity growth could boost job creation, pushing debt levels in OECD nations like the U.S., Germany, and Japan 10 percentage points below current 2036 projections. Even so, those levels will still be far higher than today’s.
Idanna Appio, a former New York Fed economist, calls productivity gains “magic” for boosting fiscal dynamics—but adds, “Our fiscal problems are far bigger than what productivity alone can solve.”
Analysts highlight population aging as a key challenge. Vanguard’s Global Economic Research chief Kevin Khang says the debt’s root cause is aging populations and linked welfare spending: “Fixing this needs fiscal consolidation; AI only buys us time.”
Additionally, tax and spending uncertainties remain: If AI causes jo
