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.

Bitcoin Update: $500-Million ETF Inflows, Market Absorbs Mt. Gox BTC, $50K Level Defended
In this video, Joe walks through how bitcoin's 4-week 25% correction may be coming to a close. Despite Mt. Gox now redistributing 94,500 BTC, and the German government selling $21 billion in BTC over the weekend, bitcoin managed to spring off of the low-$50,000 level. Factors that have been headwinds for BTC over the last month are no longer hurting its market price, and after a 7.5% weekly drop, the 4th largest since FTX collapsed, bitcoin may have just set a local bottom for the remainder of the bull market.

Bitcoin Update: ETF-Buyers, BTC Dominance, Stocks Correlation
In this episode, Joe walks through four important bitcoin charts before the long 4th of July weekend gets underway. He looks at ETF buyers re-entering the market after a 3-week slump, forecasting that bitcoin may be slated to break its consolidation. He suggests that BTC will likely resume its bull run due to the S&P 500 correlation with BTC dropping rapidly. He takes a look at BTC dominance relative to crypto to make the assertion that, judging by past cycles, the bulk of bitcoin's bull run is still on its way. Finally, he concludes with a look at performance of the S&P 500 in the second half of the year to determine how bitcoin will do.
