Linera and Switchboard announced closures on September 18 and September 19, respectively, as RootData’s 2026 list of dead crypto projects passed 260 entries. According to NS3.AI, Linera said it stopped operations after a Sonar sale drew close to $900,000, falling short of its $1.5 million USDC minimum target. Switchboard said remaining support will end on September 25, 2026. The project directed developers to alternative providers including Pyth and RedStone, and cited recent exploits, cheaper AI tools, slower new-chain launches and reduced budgets as factors behind the decision.

On September 19, venture capitalist Jason Calacanis posted a critical message about Bitcoin after it moved back above $80,000, comparing it to CDs in the Spotify era and DVDs in the Netflix era. According to ChainCatcher, he said Bitcoin is weak for trading and smart contracts, offers a poor user experience, and no longer captures the public imagination. Calacanis added that if Bitcoin were going to achieve mass adoption and major use cases, it would have done so already. He also said people now expect Bitcoin to remain stable, described it as no longer a fast path to wealth, and mocked its advocates as having shifted from pirates to suit-wearing figures sharing awkward memes. MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor responded that Bitcoin has grown into a $1.6 trillion success and the world’s most valuable digital asset. He said digital capital is the killer app and that preserving wealth across generations is a bigger ambition than pleasing dinner guests. Saylor also said the orange tie will stay on.

B.AI said its cumulative registered users have surpassed 2,700,048 as of September 19, rising from 2.6 million to more than 2.7 million. According to Odaily, the platform attributed the increase to ongoing adjustments to model supply and pricing, along with expanded agent capabilities.
