The Wolf Of All Streets - Bitcoin Hits $111K, Will The Massive Rally Continue? | Mark Yusko
Episode Date: May 22, 2025Bitcoin has smashed a new all-time high of $111,861 on CoinMarketCap—and it happened on Bitcoin Pizza Day! Exactly 15 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas in what’s now seen as... the first-ever real-world Bitcoin transaction. Today, those two pizzas are worth over $1.1 billion. Absolutely insane! This historic rally is being fueled by major institutional buying from Michael Saylor’s Strategy, which now holds over 576,000 BTC, and a surge of inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs—over $609 million just yesterday. Adding to the momentum, a key stablecoin bill advancing in the U.S. Senate is giving markets hope for long-awaited regulatory clarity under a pro-crypto Trump administration.

I'm not sure what we could possibly talk about today.
Nothing exciting has happened in the market except for Bitcoin
making a brand new all-time high while stocks dip, yields fly.
The dollar is all over the place and oil is down.
Please, everyone, tell me once again how it's a correlated asset.
It's not.
And one of my favorite people to talk about how Bitcoin is
not a correlated asset with is here today.
And it is Mark Yusko who's literally been telling me
that for probably five years at this point.
Mark Yago and I have a lot to talk about
with of course chart guys on the back half.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Bitcoin made a new all time high and I get to talk to Mark Yusko, Yago and Dan.
It's basically Christmas in the end of May.
We're going to go ahead and start right now.
Mark, good morning.
Yago, good morning.
Yago, good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
You've been telling me literally since our first interview,
if you look at Bitcoin over a 10 year period,
the correlation is 0.16, not correlated, right?
Not correlated.
I mean, look, it's so not correlated
that it's kind of silly when people talk about it.
I mean, in periods of dislocation, particularly liquidations of leverage, not correlated, that it's kind of silly when people talk about it.
In periods of dislocation, particularly liquidations of leverage, all correlations go to one, stocks,
bonds, currencies, commodities, everything.
But those are garbage numbers.
It's kind of like when people look at the PE ratio of the S&P over the last 10 years
and say, oh, relative to that, but that's polluted data.
So the long-term correlation is because stocks and bonds
generate their return from economic activity, inflation,
GDP growth, et cetera.
That has nothing to do with Bitcoin.
Bitcoin prices are determined by the technology itself,
by the adoption, particularly of young people, millennials,
and the change in the level of fiat in which we price.
Cause the thing that just gets, I mean,
you got your orange shirt on.
Look, I do have on, it is Bitcoin pizza day.
I have the orange pants
and I have the Bitcoin pizza sock game.
So I am ready to celebrate Lazlo today. And we should celebrate Lazlo. Everybody I am ready. I am ready to celebrate Laszlo today.
And we should celebrate last everybody picks on him. He we
owe him a debt of gratitude. But but the point is that
if you want to send him money, he says he's poor. And here's
his ex account. Ah, love it. You guys want to send him a little
bit of Bitcoin that Bitcoin pizza now worth $1.1 billion, which is crazy,
Mark, because you look at his tweet he has pinned here, which I just happened to see
from 2018.
He said it's $83 million for his pizza.
How many pizzas you can buy with 10,000 Bitcoin eight years later in 2026?
Well, here we are in 2025 and you can buy a lot of pizza for $1.1 billion, even adjusted
for 1.1 billion dollars, even adjusted for inflation.
But the point is, interestingly, you can actually buy less pizza with $10 than you could two
years ago, significantly less.
I go to lunch and it's double what I paid two years ago. And the thing that people miss about Bitcoin,
I don't understand why they miss it,
but one Bitcoin is one Bitcoin.
That's been the same for 16 plus years.
It will be the same for 16,000 plus years going forward.
It's like an ounce of gold.
A single ounce of gold is a single ounce of gold.
Nothing has ever changed about that ounce of gold. A single ounce of gold is a single ounce of gold. Nothing has ever changed about that ounce of gold.
What's changed is the number of pieces of paper
you need to exchange for that physical asset.
And so, you know, Bitcoin has been making all time highs
in the depths of quote unquote the bear market
in plenty of places like Venezuela and Turkey
and Argentina
because they devalue their currency even worse
than the Japanese and the Americans right now.
So this idea that we should be surprised
that we keep making all time highs,
well, of course we're gonna make new all time highs
because look, we printed 80% of all the dollars
that ever existed in
the history of the republic 249 years 80% in the last five years that's that's a bad
thing yeah it's bad but what i find interesting and the correlation conversation yago coming
to you i mean the long bond is the 30 year over 5%. Right. And the stocks were down. I mean,
not massively, but definitely a down day for stocks yesterday
while yields are going the exact opposite way the administration
wants to. And that's the environment where Bitcoin
decides or the, you know, the grand wizards of Bitcoin whales
decide that it's time. So
well, I think a lot of people, a lot of people have been expecting or hoping for Bitcoin to start behaving
like gold.
Gold is not a non-correlated asset.
It's an anti-correlated asset.
In other words, there's what people call a flight to safety.
So when particularly stocks are suffering and when stocks and bonds are suffering together,
people tend to see an
increase in gold. Bitcoin is unique and in many ways superior for a portfolio because
it is non-correlated. So it will sometimes go up when the stock market is going up. In
fact, it will tend to outperform the stock market in bull markets. And then in bear markets, it will also tend to outperform right now.
And so you can imagine people having a portfolio which
has gold as sort of like a hedge.
But people, I think, who are looking for Bitcoin
to be a hedge, it is not a simple hedge.
Bitcoin is actually a more unique thing than a hedge.
It is a truly non-correlated asset
and is likely to remain so for at least the coming decade.
Mark, yeah.
No, no, look, I completely agree.
I actually think gold and Bitcoin are the same thing.
It's just the modern version of that thing.
I mean, gold is the only money that has existed.
That's not a hundred percent true.
I mean, we had shells, we had stone wheels,
we tried silver, we tried,
but the bottom line is for 5,000 plus years
of recorded history, gold has been money.
Well, what do you mean, Mark?
There's been lots of money.
No, there's lots of currencies, thousands of currencies,
but most of those currencies have disappeared.
Like literally there have been 775 paper currencies in the history of the world. Three quarters
of them are gone, like literally gone. But money is an asset that exists in the absence
of a liability. That is a very different thing than currency, which is backed by government debt.
And I'm not saying that currencies are bad or evil.
They're just not money.
Gold has been money, but gold is not very divisible and it's not very portable.
It's got all the other elements of being money.
But if I had a bar of gold here and I wanted to break it into three pieces and send you
all a piece, I'm not strong enough to break it into three pieces and send y'all a piece.
I'm not strong enough to break it.
That's the first problem.
And I couldn't stuff it in the computer and send it to you.
Whereas with a few taps, I can send you or Lazlo or anybody else sats.
I don't know if I coined this term, but I'm going to say that I did.
So you know, there's a thing in the south here called salt life. And if you ever seen
the stickers literally everywhere. Yeah, yeah. You
know, they're everywhere. And it's people who go to the beach
and hang out. Why I created an image called sat life. You know,
because we should all live sat life. And I saw there was a
proposal, maybe Saturday or Sunday, that they were thinking
about changing back because it used to be that a Bitcoin was a sat and then they changed
it to 100 million sats per Bitcoin. And so we have a unit problem. And that's why on
Twitter, well, it used to be hashtag now, I guess I'm not allowed to use hashtags, but 2.1 quadrillion is
2.1 quadrillion is the number of sats there aren't enough Bitcoin to go around right?
Not everyone can be a whole coin. Yes, that's though, but you can have sats. There's plenty of sats to go around
Yeah, and it would make things I mean now maybe too many people know Bitcoin to make
the change, but it would have been certainly it's very
proposal Scottie unit by change.
We change it back so that a sat is a Bitcoin.
Oh, I'm like, Oh, that's an interesting because, again, like a dollar as opposed to having
a million dollars.
Exactly.
Exactly.
100 million dollars.
Mark wants to be a billionaire, basically, is what he's saying.
That's exactly what it is.
Look, I keep coming back to this that at the end of the day, all the things you
talked about Scott that are going on in the rest of the world and and you have talked about in terms of the the the non correlate correlative particle,
that's all real, right? We are witnessing failed auctions of Treasury bonds that that
doesn't happen very often. And it's not a good thing. We're witnessing literally loss of control
of interest rates in Japan.
Clearly not a good thing given they're the most
indebted country in the world.
And at some point, and we have lots of history,
I don't wanna go here because it's a dark world.
There is a point at which a country does lose control
and you get a hyperinflation.
And look, the world doesn't end.
I mean, Germany still exists, but the people who lived in that time of wheelbarrows of
Deutschmarks, life kind of sucked. And so if you happen to be alive during that period,
it can be very, very painful if you haven't diversified out
of fiat into these other things.
And I think we're perilously close for the West.
Well, let me take the other side of that.
So I don't think we're anywhere near hyperinflation
in the US.
And in particular, the US is still,
the dollar is still a reserve currency,
even if it were to transition away
from being the global reserve currency,
that is a multi-decade process.
And the key thing here is that for that reason,
all of US debt is dollar denominated.
And so it's very hard for the US to get into a spiral where they need to buy some other currency
and with their dollars. And so the dollar massively loses value rapidly. I think what is more likely,
but in many ways scarier because it is baked in, we're already here, we're
in the early innings of it, is the only way that the US government is able to manage,
not reduce, just manage a 130% debt to GDP ratio is by inflation, right?
You inflate away the debt.
Absolutely. No, no, and that's the point, I'll go,
is I'm not saying that we're gonna have
the total hyperinflation wheelbarrows like Venezuela,
because as you really well pointed out,
this reserve currency status that we are clinging to, like with our fingernails.
It's going away.
You even have Larry Fink saying that, by the way.
I mean, it is going away.
And China has their eyes set on the prize.
Everybody thinks it's going to be Bitcoin next.
It's not.
I think it's going to be the Rem and B next, then
ultimately Bitcoin.
Because it can take a while for reverse Gresham's law
to work. In fact, Scott, you should sometime get Murray Stahl to come on. I think you said that
before. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I don't know if he does this kind of stuff, because look, I'm old,
I just turned 62. Murray's even older than me. And the thing I love about Murray is, so he's like
old school value investor, but he embraced
Bitcoin early as one of the largest miners.
I mean, he's a really interesting cat, but I say he's the only guy I've ever met who
makes me seem bearish on Bitcoin.
I think Bitcoin's easy 500,000.
That's not even, that's not even, that's a cakewalk.
That's a walk walking the park. But, you know, beyond that, can we really take the whole global monetary system?
He's like, Mark, are you joking?
Of course, that's going to happen.
And he's saying that act step by step.
Why it's not like to me, 10 trillion is like it's done.
That's the monetary value of gold.
Bitcoin is better than gold. That monetary value of gold. Bitcoin is better than gold.
That's it.
The monetary value of gold is almost 30 trillion now.
No, no, no, the monetary value.
Remember half of gold is chalices and jewelry,
and that doesn't count.
I'm talking about the monetary value,
the stuff that's in the central banks
that is the base layer of money.
And it probably is closer to 15 trillion than 10.
But everyone talks about the total value of above ground gold.
Well, your gold watch doesn't count.
I mean, it's not I mean, could be used as money in a pinch.
But really, I'm talking about the base layer that sits in the central banks.
And so that's easy.
But Murray says no, no, no, no, no, it's all of it. It's all hundred trillion of knowable wealth because history says that bad money crowds
out good.
That's why it's called Gresham's law.
And you see an example, example after Turkey, after Venezuela, after all the places where
bad people get in charge and they hyperinflate because they get rich because they own all
the stuff and they impoverish their people and then they stay in power because they promise the poor
people little scraps like free electricity or gasoline. And that is gone on for actually
millennia. Bad money crowds out good. But Murray will say, no, no, no, this time, because we have perfect money, good money
will eventually crowd out bad.
And it's a very compelling argument, particularly when he tells it.
Yeah, particularly when you're watching it happen in real time.
Yes, listen, everybody wants to know why these things happen, right?
Like, it's happening because it's happening and it was inevitable, but I think that in the
nonsense of Liberation Day and everything happening in the macro, it's easy to lose
sight of just how insanely fundamentally bullish the news has been for crypto. I mean, we have
Texas, I can tell you right here, I mean, it looks like Texas is gonna sign a Strategic Reserve
Act into law. We already had New Hampshire and Arizona
crickets, people don't really care. We're probably about to
get the stable act, the genius act on stable coins. Looks like
that's going to go through. Every single day, we get three
Treasury companies. Like, oh, random, somebody somewhere in
the world saying, hey, we're buying $800 million.
But remember, these are defensive moves. The early ones
were offensive moves. Now it's actually it's not even true.
Remember, micro strategy when it was still micro strategy.
That's why is cash. Yeah, protect the loss of value of his
cash. He thought that was, you know, dereliction of duty of duty if he held a lot of cash and it became less valuable.
I tell a story that I had this very interesting experience where the aha moment for somebody.
So I went to a Bitcoin meetup here in Durham and the bartender, this very nice young lady,
had been the last one and they were talking about, you know, what is Bitcoin? She's,
well, I don't really understand. She says, well, the guy said, remember all those chips that you
made two months ago? She says, yeah. She says, do they buy more or less stuff today? She's like,
oh my God, they buy less stuff. She says, if we would have tipped you in Bitcoin,
they would buy more stuff. And she literally, and I'm not making this up,
she literally went over and put a QR code
next to the tip jar.
And because someone helped her set it up.
And because she had the aha moment.
And so it is a defensive move to all these Bitcoin treasury companies that now there's
there's the greed part, you know, the me too. But, but ultimately, if we think about what's going on,
and Scott, I have a little more sinister view of, of the Donald, everyone thinks he's just an idiot.
He doesn't understand tears. No, he understands exactly.
There's only been really meaningful tariff use
in the United States three times.
1828 led to a depression, 1930 led to a depression,
and 2025.
And since 1913, we basically had no tariffs
because before 1913, there was no income tax.
So the government was funded with tariffs.
That's where his fundamental misunderstanding
in history is bad.
But he now is saying,
well, I wanna replace the income tax with tariffs.
But it's the same thing.
The people still pay the tax.
You just call it a different thing
because China isn't paying the tariffs.
We are. So the problem here is you have to suspend the belief that you don't think it's
intentional. And this is called the dictator playbook. If you're a dictator, you want to
impoverish the masses and concentrate the wealth at the top with the robber barons and there's a guy I wish I could give him credit
But he wrote a great piece on why Trump is bringing back the robber barons
the same way they did in the 1930s the same way they did in the 1820s and
That's the playbook and it's it's not it's not because he's a good guy. I'm sorry
Yeah, I mean governments governments not. It's not because he's a
The only way out to Yago's point, once you're fully indebted, you got four choices. You can pay it back. The problem is if you took everybody's assets, not their income, but everyone in the
United States assets, you couldn't pay back the debt. So that's off the table. You can restructure
it, but someone would have to take the other side. And if we can't sell bonds at 100 cents on the
dollar, I mean, you can't give them away. How are we going to get people to take 60 cents on the dollar? That ain't going to happen. So then you can default on it.
What happens if you default on your debt? You're out. Politicians don't like out. They like in.
So the only way out is to devalue your currency, to inflate away. And that is why we created the central bank in the first place. Because before 1607
or 1609, I don't remember the date, before the Rothschilds created the first central
bank in the Netherlands. Remember, the Netherlands, no offense to anyone from the Netherlands,
but it's about the size of like Ohio. How was that the global superpower for about 70 years? Think about that for a second.
That's the only way is they would literally print money out of thin air and pay mercenaries to go,
you know, beat up all the other, you know, strong armies around the world. So that model of central banking
went from the Netherlands to the UK,
from the UK to the US.
I mean, do a little research on who JP Morgan's dad
worked for sometime.
It's kind of fun.
Look, he's right here.
There he is, Jimmy.
There's your guy.
And this, I just happened to have him,
so I thought I would bring it up.
But yeah, I mean, we have this strange period here where we're talking about doge and austerity and tariffs
and the external revenue service, and then massive tax cuts. Hey, it's how you win votes. I mean,
and look, if you make people poor, they will vote for you, which makes it's totally antithetical. You would think if you
make people rich, they'll vote for you. No, that's not how it works. Then they think they can become
in power. And we've seen this in Russia, right? With the oligarchs. Putin said to the two big
oligarchs, here's the deal. Just stay out of politics. I'll leave you alone.
One guy said, done, bought some football clubs,
you know, diversified.
The other guy said, nope, I'm running for president.
And where is he today?
In a jail.
Which is man in the world.
No, he's in a jail.
And the funny part is it's on a nuclear waste dump
just to rub it in.
I mean, it's bad. It's bad.
Yago, is there any way speaking of the government and tax cuts
versus tariffs and all this? Is there any path that is not
massive monetary stimulus, massive fiscal stimulus, money
printing? Is there any chance the government wakes up one day
and says, we're going to be responsible?
Theoretically, of course, right? I mean, so Doge promised us a
trillion dollars in cuts is very clear that they're not going to
achieve that. Then, you know,
Did they get any like literally any?
It's hard to say.
There's got to be something about that. I mean,
a lot of people have jobs.
Yeah, I just don't think they had the power to actually
execute.
Look, to make real changes, they would
need to get it approved through both Senate and Congress,
because it needs structural changes to the way
that the current US law allocates
pre-allocated budgets.
Most of the budget is nondiscretionary.
Most of the budget is set in by law. So I think
the question you have to ask yourself is what is the chance that you know Congress and Senate will
get their act together and introduce austerity and significantly reduce military spending Medicaid
spending social care,
and also be able to get their act together
in such a way that the current expenditure
is done more efficiently.
So if you believe that that's likely,
then you think that this can reverse.
If you don't think that that's likely,
then this train is not stopping.
No, I mean- You also have to believe quickly,
you also have to believe that somehow our debt is not
a runaway train because you can do all of that and still with the debt financing, if
rates are where they are, you can't even cut enough.
Yeah, I mean, the only solution because everything that Yago just described is highly unlikely,
unfortunately, because humans are going to human and particularly government officials
are going to government official.
But there is a way out, right, which is growth.
But the only way you get growth is you encourage innovation.
Just take the basic premise of the income tax.
Why would you tax innovation and wealth creation?
It makes no sense.
Your incentive is to have less income, less reported income, right? No, you should want to encourage the creation of as much wealth as possible. And then you should tax consumption so that, you know, everyone can pay their fair share.
But yeah, my hotel's on fire. I need to escape.
You only got three more minutes anyway, so can you breathe? I'll put my life on the line for three more minutes.
I didn't mean to interrupt there, you just go.
No, no, it's all good.
One time Scott and I were talking,
and we started to go down the rabbit hole of FTX
and all the secret clandestine ties to Epstein, et cetera,
et cetera.
Literally, my power went out.
And they're like, oh my God, did the black cats come to you?
It was so great.
I mean, you.
The timing was impeccable.
By the way, we have people freaking out in the comments
saying that Doge has like cut half a trillion or something.
I just looked it up on Grok so as not to be weird.
And they said that Max is 150, but they can't be verified and looks
like it's been a few billion dollars.
They talked about 500.
Well I think to be fair, to be fair, it's possible that it did actually achieve 150
billion dollars in cuts but there are also estimates that because of the restructuring
required to achieve these cuts will cost 150 billion dollars to do the restructuring. So, yeah, but be that as it may,
$150 billion is a drop in the bucket.
You know, four or five days of a debt service.
Exactly.
Yeah, so, and so to your point,
can you actually grow your way out of this?
Yes, but you would need to achieve, you know,
1998 style China level growth.
You'd need 10% GDP growth.
Usually, you can increase GDP growth from like 2% to 2.2%.
And that's a huge win.
You're talking about going from 2% to 4% to 6%.
That is possible.
I mean, the US has massive latent potential,
but so many things have to go right.
Yeah, but the only chance you have is to do that.
And to your point, Yago,
the only way to even have a chance
is to create tax laws, incentives, stimulus plans.
Like for, I'll give you a great example.
Social Security, right?
We have a trust fund, right?
A magic mythical, we hold it in cash,
and then we have a pay as you go system.
That's insane.
What did Singapore do?
They took the money and invested it
in the greatest companies in the world
through venture capital and direct investing.
And now they are massively overfunded
and we are underfunded.
Look, Dubya actually said we should invest
social security money in the stock market.
Now his timing was bad, it was 2000,
but his idea was right.
We need to invest, not hold as if it's a liability
that we can't grow it.
Anyway, it's a topic for another time.
I'll just give one quick example, right?
Because it ties to Bitcoin, it ties to the economy,
it ties to all of this.
If the US economy wants to grow,
the fundamental thing that needs to grow is energy.
China currently is building the entire US energy capacity
every 10 years.
The US is incapable of building
almost any new energy capacity outside of Texas.
And so unless you start seeing regulations,
which significantly change the ability for the US to build the most fundamental thing,
the basis of the entire economy, I think you can remain very optimistic about Bitcoin because
there's going to be no other choice. Amen. Amen. Look, our entire life is about turning
energy into value. Hopefully we did a little bit of that in the last 30 minutes. We fuel
our bodies. We turn that energy into value. Same thing we did a little bit of that in the last 30 minutes, we fuel our bodies, we turn that energy into
value. Same thing with no same thing with Bitcoin, right? You
convert energy and AI value. And everything is about converting
energy to value, but you have to you have to create the energy.
And this whole idea that energy intensive, intensive,
intensiveness is negative is so wrong. Yeah, it's literally the opposite of all of it is just
antithetical life has gotten infinitely better, infinitely
better. Since the harnessing of fire and carbon and all the
things that we do to have a better life. And this idea that
we should not do those things is just silly.
That's the fiat mentality requires no energy to create something to pay for goods and services that actually require energy for somebody to produce. That's why money should require energy.
Makes a lot of sense guys. Wish we could do this all day, but I got to move on. Mark, thank you.
Yago, thank you. I'm going to reach out to both of you for next week. All right, see you in Vegas.
All right, thanks guys.
All right, have a great day.
Love those guys.
Wish we could do these shows for three hours sometimes.
I have now though, Dan, the chart guys,
the Bitcoin chart, it says blue sky breakout.
We got no more resistance left.
We're going to a million tomorrow.
It's a great thing.
It's the best spot to be in.
That's why we always want to focus on things
that are near blue sky breakout, because the reward potential
is so much higher.
It's so much easier for price to move when that's the case.
And just keeping it simple, there's
a little bit of PTSD out there.
And rightfully so.
You look at the last time around,
and this is the weekly chart where
we had our bull break without follow through and then we rolled over and
Granted at the moment. It's fairly similar. So there is a little PTSD around, you know
I hope we don't break with no follow through but there's nothing to be concerned about at this point
If you want to keep it simple look at this daily EMA 12, you know
I love that EMA 12 and it's just been holding the entire way up and
daily EMA 12. You know, I love that EMA 12 and it's just been holding the entire way up and nothing changes. If daily EMA 12 is support when it changes and we lose it, we'll
zoom out and we'll scout a weekly higher low because there's tons of space for it to form.
But again, this is ideal as you guys were talking about, you know, the fact that stocks
dumped yesterday a decent bit and Bitcoin did dump with it, you know, 3% drop in an
hour, but V- shape very clearly relative strength
after that initial fear wave. Fear correlates everything and then it's okay when the dust settles.
Yeah, what happens when the dust settles? I actually just found this this morning. I've
always been a crosses or a lagging indicator guy, but we have the golden cross literally yesterday
on Bitcoin of the 50 and
the 200, which is the classic so you look at, but I looked back just over the past couple
years and you can keep going way back.
It's just hard to fit them on screen, but we get these death crosses, which have been
correctly lagging indicators right at the bottom every time.
And then basically very soon after you get the golden cross and every one of those has
been the parabolic advance.
And we just got that literally yesterday, which by the way, it's a blue sky breakout.
I was actually very concerned Sunday, like I went up on a Sunday.
I hate that.
I saw bearish divergence, which usually, you know, 70, 80% of the time plays out.
It's pushing through all of that.
I mean, there's just this asset wants to go.
Yeah, it looks great.
And remember our clues for full bull control.
It's the next time we see hourly oversold conditions,
does that market daily higher or low?
And if that kind of action keeps happening,
then we know that bulls are still buying dips
and we have significant momentum.
I've been a little bit surprised
at the lack of follow through for crypto stocks
on this move. It's not been a gung-ho here we go thing. I was watching the miners and they
came so close, you know, yesterday that Nasdaq drop really impacts the stocks
for obvious reasons. I thought it was time for the miners to shine, you know,
had a position, had some nice profit, ended up stopping out on my runner
positions break even on that news dump. But just interesting, you know, MSTR still looks fine.
But again, we're not getting this powerful there's coin.
We're not getting this powerful let's go with everything.
It's still Bitcoin centric at this point.
And, you know, maybe we have to see all coins get a little low for that money to
spread out elsewhere. But, you know, I'm,. But I'm in this Bitcoin ETF, IBIT for my stock position,
of course, Bitcoin itself otherwise,
but just knowing where to focus.
Relative strength right now in the market is Bitcoin and crypto stocks,
but the crypto stocks are being held back a bit.
How you look at the rest of the market since it's been a little bit,
obviously, we had a V shape recovery there too
But yeah, I'm watching right now. The Nasdaq has an hourly megaphone that I'm keeping an eye on and
If bears, you know bears need to break through that to the downside if we're gonna see I mean we're due for weekly consolidation
After the month straight up zero bearish action, but bulls are still hanging around so this is my NASDAQ
guide until we break one way or the other. As far as you know the rest of the market and the alt
coin space for me the dominance chart I just keep using the weekly higher lows my simple statement
is if we're setting weekly higher lows then it's not alt season and so we have a new level to be
watching from the lows just a few days ago or a couple or a week ago.
And, you know, right now, all coin bulls would love to see ETH join with a higher high.
It's coming up to resistance and initially failing.
But yeah, it's still the Bitcoin show.
And when the dominance chart breaks the higher weekly higher lows, then we can have more confidence that, you know, we may be getting a bit of an alt season, whatever that may mean.
confidence that we may be getting a bit of an alt season, whatever that may mean. But again, as so many people have alluded to, and I agree with it, the reason that this
run in my opinion is going to be more Bitcoin focused is because so much of it is the ETF.
And again, back in the day when I was ripping altcoins, I was selling my Bitcoin and rotating
into Litecoin or Ethereum right away, 2017.
And now if you're selling in your brokerage, you're not doing that same kind
of rotation with that same kind of ease.
So it's going to be very interesting how it plays out.
I do think there will be some profit rotation into all coins.
I don't think it'll be anything like, you know, 2021 or what we've seen in the past,
but there will still be opportunity there.
So watching that dominance chart for clues that we are seeing a shift and it's not happening yet.
Anything else you got for us? Keeping an eye on the metals, you know, metals and Bitcoin right
now are my main focus. Silver tried to break out and just hit a little bit of a wall. Gold still
holding on just fine. You know, it's a potential two-week bull flag under all-time highs. So
that is where my focus remains in the short term over the next, you know as we enter into summer here
