Very happy to see that MSTR/Saylor will now initiate a Bitcoin security program. The price finally got low enough for Saylor to take the potential threat seriously. In a way, Saylor capitulating could very much mark a bottom here. I wouldn’t be surprised.

Gold is now back to the 2011 high against the M2 money supply. 14 years of no real growth. Congrats gold bugs.

This is mental to watch on the hourly time frame. 14 green candles for $BTC now. Never seen anything like this.

When Bitcoin first hit $10k, I thought at $100k, the world would be in pure chaos, due to the amount of liquidity and inflation needed to actually hit $100k. No one cared. The fact that Gold is at $3,300, essentially doubling in 18 months. Again, no one cares. That tells me

At $105k, $BTC flips Google and Amazon and goes to the fifth most valuable asset on the planet.

$BTC has done a 5x from the cycle bottom and let’s be honest outside of this platform it’s silent. $MSTR announced the largest ATM equity offering in capital markets history. Why is everyone oblivious?

Stock market is closed on Monday during Trump's inauguration. Would be poetic just for $BTC to rip the entire day.

On average, this is the third worst week historically for Bitcoin. The next 14 weeks are, on average, all positive.

There's 1.8M - 2M #Bitcoin left on exchanges. My assumption is that BlackRock will acquire 1M BTC for the ETF. Then, there are 12 other ETFs, plus public companies, that are now incentivized by FASB to adopt fair value accounting. #Bitcoin this cycle will be deemed an "ESG
