Crypto today why don’t we start there because we have some headlines Julie Hyman uh Bitcoin jumping to 50,000 for the first time in more than two years we all remember of course 2022 and that nasty plunge lots of questions at that point Julie about the asset the future

Of the asset yet had crypto fans on TV seeming kind of Dazed and Confused but now Bitcoin has been on the move it has tripled since the start of last year of course you know listen it’s still well below that alltime high which is around 69,000 but rally back here in part of

Course due to you know something we’ve talked a lot about which is these approval of these new spot Bitcoin ETS and the bet some are making that yes these new products over time are going to drive greater mainstream adoption and initially of course after we finally got the approval and the beginning of

Trading for those ETFs we saw a little bit of a pullback in Bitcoin which some who watched the industry closely had predicted would happen to sort of sell the news event now coindesk the publication that follows crypto very closely says we’re back at the fomo stage of Bitcoin here uh pointing out as

You did that we saw that peak of 69,000 but then the low at the end of 2022 was 16 so obviously we’ve come back quite a bit uh from that level and last year was kind of a a slow rally if you will there’s one um analyst out there that

Again coindesk is quoting today from crypto Quant that we could see Bitcoin touch $112,000 this year and they’re looking specifically at the inflows into those spot Bitcoin funds and if that momentum continues that’s at least the implication in that one forecast yeah and also not to get too geeky but people

Are also talking about that so-called Bitcoin having which you expect in April which sort of refers to this process of um curbing the supply of new tokens so some expect he as we get closer to that is that another Catalyst does chatter start bringing bringing that up as well

Right when we look at the spot Bitcoin ETFs in terms of the net inflows into those according to Bloomberg intelligence data $2.8 billion is what we’re talking about and that’s even with some pretty big outflows of more than $6 billion from the grayscale Bitcoin trust that’s because again not to get too

Wonky here but basically before these were approved many people held that gbtc then when the others got approved they moved their money over because we saw the discount collapse between gbtc and the underlying price of Bitcoin so we saw some funds move their money to some

Of the other spot Bitcoin ETFs all of that said again still net inflows into those uh spot Bitcoin ETFs yeah and it was interesting because the reports I saw too said that maybe you were seeing some indication that the outflows um from the Grace Grace scale fund could be

Maybe losing some steam here as well so that was part of it too yeah so we’ll see what happens next and we’re going to talk about Bitcoin a little bit more a little bit later in the show

  1. While everyone is focused on BTC, ETH or any top alt coin and playing defensive they are missing on quality projects that are about to be launched on CEX. For example AMSN22K will hit mainstream soon, 10x-20x quite possible even during this bear market but only few people know about this.

  2. Can't deny the fact that Amazons AMSN22K is the strongest bet to bring power back to this industry after we suffered FTX, Celsius, Tera and so on. Sure if they fail it's done for good, but I don't see that the biggest tech company in the world would put everything at risk just for that.

  3. New week up as many FOMO in. But the AMSN22K story isn’t over yet. The only strat that works under all circumstances is DCA all the time with solid, large companies (not hyped ones).

  4. I feel that the last bull run was bolstered by all the money being printed. Major returns next bull run but I think they will be tamer in my humble opinion. A 10x on AMSN22K is and a 15x on polygon are fair considering how much those two coins are interwoven into the entire crypto ecosystem
