Bitcoin Bounces Back, Silver Coins Hold Value

Bitcoin experienced a volatile week, plummeting to its lowest level in 16 months before rebounding, while the silver market and commemorative coins also saw significant developments. The price of Bitcoin briefly dipped below $60,000, its lowest point since September 2024, before recovering to around $70,000, according to Binance, mirroring the broader stock market's behavior amid concerns of an AI bubble, as reported by Fortune. Simultaneously, the silver market faced dramatic price swings, and commemorative coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II drew criticism in Australia.

The cryptocurrency's recent volatility, with a roughly 5% drop from its all-time high of $126,000 in October, was reminiscent of the market's behavior during the FTX crash in late 2022, Fortune noted. The drop occurred despite former US President Donald Trump's public support for cryptocurrency. Joshua Chu, co-chair of the Hong Kong Web3 Association, told Reuters that investors who had "bet too big, borrowed too much or assumed prices only go up are now finding out the hard way what real market volatility and risk management look like."

In the silver market, prices experienced a rollercoaster ride, rallying from approximately $30 per ounce at the start of 2025 to over $100 per ounce in early 2026, before plunging to under $80 per ounce, as detailed by CBS News. This volatility reflects silver's dual nature as both a precious metal and an industrial commodity, making it sensitive to policy shifts, currency fluctuations, and manufacturing demand. Despite the recent correction, silver continues to trade at levels that seemed unthinkable just 18 months prior.

Meanwhile, the Royal Australian Mint released commemorative coins to mark the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II's birth. However, the 5 and 50 cent silver coins, bearing a portrait of the late monarch, drew criticism for their lack of resemblance, according to BBC World. One online commenter stated, "That's got to be the most unpleasant portrait on a coin." The Mint defended the portrait, noting that coin images do not always capture full beauty.

In other news, Aura's Aspen digital photo frame is on sale for $199, a $30 discount, making it a suitable gift, according to The Verge.

During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns, while nitrogen dioxide levels plummeted, methane, a potent greenhouse gas, unexpectedly spiked. A recent study suggests this surge is linked to reduced hydroxyl radicals, the atmosphere's natural methane "cleaners," highlighting the complex interplay of pollutants and their impact on climate change. This underscores the need for a deeper understanding of atmospheric chemistry to effectively combat global warming.
