Bitcoin Update: Trump Pledges To HODL, Biden Moves $2 BILLION of Our Bitcoin To Sell
In this video, Joe breaks down all of the mania surrounding bitcoin over the last 72 hours. He first discusses Trump's proposed Strategic National Bitcoin Stockpile, alongside Senator Cynthia Lummis' bill to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. He then breaks the news that the Biden-Harris administration has likely begun the sale of the US' existing bitcoin holdings, moving $2 billion into a new wallet for a likely OTC sale to thwart Trump's plans of a reserve using our existing seized BTC holdings. He then takes a look at bitcoin's price action being driven largely by leveraged trading, wanting to see spot accumulation before we have a solid chance at moving sustainably higher. He rounds out the video discussing the US National Debt hitting $35 trillion as of this morning, and why bitcoin offers a solution not just for the government, but for individuals looking to hedge themselves from the recklessness.

Bitcoin Update: $500 Million from BlackRock, 27% SPIKE in 2 Weeks, Credit Spread Analysis
In this episode, Joe brings us a bitcoin update. We discuss bitcoin's resilience after the most eventful 2-week period in modern history, a remarkable $500-million inflow to BlackRock's bitcoin ETF on Monday, and more. He also discusses BlackRock and Fidelity taking 4th and 8th place in YTD inflows across all ETFs in US markets. With unprecedented demand from Wall Street and credit spreads still at cycle lows, all signals suggest that the bulk of bitcoin's bull run still has yet to begin.

Bitcoin Update: Trump & Vance Establish Pro-Bitcoin Presidential Ticket
In this video, Joe discusses bitcoin's 2.5% pop following Saturday's assassination attempt and tragedy, and the 11% gain in the days since. Trump has been an outwardly pro-bitcoin candidate, stressing the importance of bitcoin self-custody and mining as a way to bolster U.S. energy independence. He walks through all of the positive statements Trump has made about BTC on the campaign trail. He also discusses JD Vance, the Senator that Trump has chosen for VP, and his pro-bitcoin policies enacted while in office, as well as his own personal bitcoin holdings. We indicate that while we should be skeptical of politicians, JD has put his money where his mouth is. Joe concludes by highlighting that the strong performance of bitcoin following Saturday's events is a preview of the environment for bitcoin's price if we get another 4-year Trump term come November.
