🍍 Market taste in the present day

The Worry and Greed Index dipped to 72 in the present day, 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, type 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 to be like chaotic; long-term remains to be very bullish.

Analysts over at Bernstein additionally see a optimistic larger image. Their prediction? Bitcoin’s gonna change gold as the principle “retailer of worth” over the subsequent decade. Discuss to me.

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

🥝 Memecoin harvest

Who’s driving the hype practice in the present day? 🚂

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 celebration 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

VP: JD Vance – BTC holder;

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

Treasury Secretary: Scott Bessent – hedge fund supervisor, crypto = freedom advocate;

Secretary of Commerce: Howard Lutnick – crypto bull, has that “BTC is gold 2.0 and needs to be tradable in every single place” vibe to him;

And I would like DJ Khaled to drag up now, ‘trigger we have got ANOTHER ONE 🥰

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

Trump says this position is about ensuring the US stays aggressive in AI and crypto, two areas he calls crucial for the longer term. This is what Sacks can be as much as:

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

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

🤪 Pull a rug on that thang

Each from time to time, random folks say the dumbest sh*t, go viral, after which abruptly – they are a meme-turned-celebrity.

And now, there’s the Hawk Tuah woman. If you happen to’re a doom-scrolling enjoyer  (✋😃🤚 responsible!), you’ve got undoubtedly seen her (and, at this level, you almost certainly wanna throw up while you hear that catchphrase).

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

Might’ve been 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 staff swore they hadn’t offered a single token.

Naturally, crypto whistleblower Coffeezilla needed to get entangled – he joined an X House with the HAWK gang to name them out on all of the, you realize, dumping on followers. Their response? Take a chill tablet, bro.

… A WHAT NOW?

So, what’s subsequent? Legislation corporations 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 is going to.
