$BTC HIT ALL-TIME HIGHS (CAN IT KEEP RUNNING?) 🏃♂️➡️

Bitcoin just hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $109,483.96!

But something's off… usually ATHs come paired with:

A Fear & Greed (F&G) Index that’s notched up to ‘Extreme Greed’
Funding rates that are telling us that ‘Markets are over-heated right now!’
A boom in mindshare outside of crypto (e.g. Uber drivers start giving crypto advice)

But so far, this is what we’re seeing…

1/ F&G is in the mid-range of ‘Greed’

Below 60 = Neutral. Above 80 = Extreme Greed.

2/ Funding rates are chill

When funding rates move into the high positive region (0.05 – 0.08), it indicates that there’s an excess of leverage (loans) in the system and the risk of a pullback is increased…

But right now, we’re sitting pretty at 0.005.

3/ Google search volume for Bitcoin is still in the gutter

Yuh. Still no significant change from last Wednesday. Bitcoin’s search interest is still stupidly low, given its price.

Here’s why all of this is actually a good thing:

As we said this time last week – the market could still turn from here…

But if it decides it wants to keep running, it still has room to do so:

Greed isn’t overblown, markets aren’t overheated with leverage (loans), and broad interest in $BTC isn’t saturated by any means.

Our technical analysis:

Hell yeah! (Higher.)

P.S. Remember when everyone was freaking out a month ago, saying Bitcoin was about to implode – but all of us Roadies collectively kept our cool?

Give yourselves a well-deserved pat on the back.

WANT MORE BITCOIN?

I’ll be real with you, I used to zone out whenever someone brought up Bitcoin mining.

Yeah, it sounded cool. Passive income, more $BTC, yada yada.

But the setup? Way too complicated.

But that’s where Abundant Mines comes in - they reduce the multiple hurdles to get started with Bitcoin mining.

They handle the installation, monitoring and maintenance. All you have to do is pay for electricity.

Here’s how it works:

You buy the hardware (starting at $8K)
Abundant Mines set up the machines.
You start earning daily $BTC rewards, straight to your wallet

It’s time to start investing in Bitcoin mining.

STABLECOINS ARE EATING UP THE U.S.’ MONEY SUPPLY 🍽️

We’ve said it once, we’ll say it again: stablecoins = crypto’s killer use case.

For example, this just happened:

Minting = an expectation of future demand. Demand that’s likely only going to continue growing.

The crazy part? The ‘big-dogs’ (institutions) haven’t even entered the sector yet… at least not in any meaningful way.

But that’s quickly changing, thanks to the following:

1/ Stablecoins vs. M2 Money Supply

The amount of money held in cash, checking/savings deposits, time deposits, and retail money market mutual funds is called ‘M2’ – so when you hear M2, think: ‘US dollar supply’.

Now, get this… 👇

2/ The Genius Act is progressing

The Genius Act would set regulatory guidelines designed to support the growth/proliferation of stablecoins in the US – and yesterday, the US Senate voted to continue voting on it.

(Translation: the bill ain’t dead, as some had feared!)

3/ Stablecoin issuers = Top Gainers

That forward movement on the Genius Act may seem like a nothing burger on the surface – but it seems to have had a tangible effect on the stablecoin market.

4 of the top 7 gainers yesterday were issuers of yield-bearing stablecoins (i.e. stablecoins that pay users interest simply for holding them.) 👇

So, to recap:

Stablecoins are gobbling up M2 supply and regulatory clarity is on the horizon…

But the biggest carrot of them all?

If you’re an issuer, stablecoins can absolutely print cash for you! (Tether made $13B in net profit last year.)

If that’s not incentive enough for the big-dogs to ape into the stablecoin space, we don’t know what is.
