There is a hidden theme in today’s episode — history repeating itself. Since the correction following Bitcoin’s all-time high, many analysts have demonstrated that the shape of the current market mirrors the 2020 breakout in many ways. But is that creating something of a trap for investors? Elsewhere, Tesla might be buying BTC again, data suggests altseason is close, and the X community is still optimistic about the metaverse.Further reading:Is Bitcoin repeating its 2020 breakout?

Records have been broken left and right by the U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs, BTC mining revenue is booming, and even gold hit a new all-time high! Moreover, some believe Bitcoin’s bull run and the upcoming halving will spark a resurgence for NFTs.
