🍍 Market taste at present

The Worry and Greed Index dipped to 72 at present, so we have moved from “AAAA LFG TO THE MOON” to a extra chill “yup, nonetheless hyped.” That $100K second was just about like a teen going by way of puberty – Bitcoin insists it wasn’t only a section (spoiler alert: it was, kind of – it spent many of the day throughout the $95K – 100K vary).

Jamie Coutts from Actual Imaginative and prescient gave us a fast actuality verify: these all-time highs have been reached “within the face of a deteriorating liquidity backdrop.” If issues worsen, the rally may very well be short-lived. But when they ease up, BTC’s gonna shoot up once more after a pullback.

TL;DR: Brief-term appears chaotic; long-term remains to be very bullish.

Analysts over at Bernstein additionally see a optimistic greater image. Their prediction? Bitcoin’s gonna substitute gold as the principle “retailer of worth” over the following decade. Speak to me.

Lengthy story quick, for now, BTC’s grounded – however you know it is staring out the window and plotting one thing massive. Your job? Keep alert so you possibly can catch it within the act 🕵️

🥝 Memecoin harvest

Who’s driving the hype prepare at present? 🚂

Why? Roaring Kitty posted a bizarre subliminal message on X, and the neighborhood did what it needed to do.

Coinbase listed the memecoin – and so the get together began.

The token blew up in October when somebody despatched $40K value of it to Terminal of Truths – an AI shitposter bot on X.

One other AI Agent token.

🦸 The Crypto Avengers

SEC Chair: Paul Atkins – extra about him right here;

Trump introduced Solana bull David O. Sacks as his decide for “White Home AI & Crypto Czar.” To start with, wtf is that? Second of all, I am listenin’.

Trump says this function is about ensuring the US stays aggressive in AI and crypto, two areas he calls important for the long run. Here is what Sacks can be as much as:

Defending free speech on-line;
Steering the US away from Huge Tech bias and censorship;
Serving to construct a CLEAR authorized framework for crypto (our prayers have been answered, lastly).

All thought-about, I am not saying that is bullish, however… yeah, it’s very bullish 🚀

🤪 Pull a rug on that thang

Each every so often, random individuals say the dumbest sh*t, go viral, after which immediately – they seem to be a meme-turned-celebrity.

And now, there’s the Hawk Tuah lady. In the event you’re a doom-scrolling enjoyer  (✋😃🤚 responsible!), you have undoubtedly seen her (and, at this level, you almost certainly wanna throw up once you hear that catchphrase).

Her actual identify’s Haliey Welch, and she or he’s additionally cashed in on her viral second – her podcast referred to as Speak Tuah is now #5 globally.

Might’ve been a very good success story… however she determined to get into memecoins. The HAWK token launched.

This token did pop off in a short time, reaching a market cap of $500M. However then, guess what? 🤠 She rugged, and it dipped to $25M 🤠 What a shock 🤠

Seems, 95% of the availability was held by one insider cluster, however, clearly, Welch and her group swore they hadn’t bought a single token.

Naturally, crypto whistleblower Coffeezilla needed to become involved – he joined an X Area with the HAWK gang to name them out on all of the, you already know, dumping on followers. Their response? Take a chill capsule, bro.

… A WHAT NOW?

So, what’s subsequent? Legislation companies wanna sue Welch. And for the remainder of us? If this 12 months’s gazillions of celebrity-backed rug pulls have not taught us something, idk what’s going to.
