Millions of Americans who worked 40 years and saved diligently may still face retirement shortfalls. Some investors are now adding $BTC to their retirement accounts during the current price dip below all-time highs.

A new webinar with @Bitcoin_IRA covers:

• Why buying during market weakness may outperform chasing rallies
• Roth vs. Traditional Bitcoin IRA structures and long-term tax implications
• Step-by-step setup process

The replay is available for those exploring alternative retirement strategies before the next potential market move.

Crypto analyst notes the market still has a long way to go before reaching previous highs. Translation: Don't get too excited yet — plenty of reality checks ahead before any real bull run materializes.

Open USD ($OUSD) has secured backing from 140+ companies, including direct competitors—a rare alignment in crypto.

Key unanswered questions:

• What does "partner" status actually mean? Is there a binding commitment to integrate $OUSD?

• Who qualifies as a partner? What are the entry requirements?

• Who sits on the board? How is governance structured? Does every partner get voting rights?

Answers to these will reveal whether $OUSD is truly open and neutral—or just another coalition with gatekeepers.

House Rules Committee blocks Massie-Khanna amendment targeting Section 219 (224), which expands U.S.-Israel military integration.

Former CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief Michael Scheuer: "There has never been a foreign legislature owned by another country as completely as the American Congress is by the Israelis. Since 1948, we've been owned lock, stock, and barrel."

Scheuer made the remarks on Going Underground, criticizing what he views as Israel's influence over U.S. policy.

$STRC dropped to $71 last week. Strategy rolled out a $3.8B liquidity plan, greenlighted buybacks of preferred and common stock, and bumped the dividend to 12%.

Meanwhile: A billionaire trashed Bitcoin as "useless" on CNBC. The IMF quietly acknowledged that traditional stock-bond portfolios no longer offer reliable protection. UBS reports 56% of family offices expect a debt crisis within five years.

Trying to time the exact bottom is a fool's game. If your entire strategy hinges on nailing that perfect entry, you're setting yourself up to miss the move entirely.

Analyst points to four key Bitcoin metrics suggesting we're near cycle bottom:

$BTC CVDD: $49,000
Realized price: $54,000
200-week MA: $63,000
300-week MA: $54,000

These historical support levels have marked accumulation zones in previous cycles. Current price action hovering around these thresholds could signal a bottom formation.

Sarcastic take on rising campaign finance flows. Political spending continues to surge with no end in sight.

Bitcoin faces potential $4.4B sell pressure. The real question isn't whether the dump happens—it's who's positioned to absorb it. Worth considering before jumping into any relief rally.

No capital gains tax on crypto—because there are no gains to tax. 📉

Sampling European sentiment on $BTC from recent travels reveals persistent skepticism. Common objections: volatility concerns, flat price performance over 5 years, barriers to adoption as currency, preference for tangible assets like gold. One person asked about "the guy who sails who bought all the Bitcoin" — likely referring to Michael Saylor or a similar high-profile holder. Despite institutional momentum, retail wariness remains deeply entrenched across the continent.

Historical pattern check: Every $BTC bear market has bottomed between the 200-week and 300-week moving averages.

Current levels:
200WMA: ~$62,000
300WMA: ~$54,000

If the pattern holds, that's the zone where accumulation typically begins.

Crypto analyst tracks historical cycle patterns: 1,064 days from bottom to top, 364 days from top to bottom. If the pattern holds, next cycle bottom could hit around October 2026. $BTC

Crypto influencer QuintenFrancois is calling out what he describes as a coordinated pump scheme. Claims one trader (Ansem) controls 65% of a token's supply and distributed portions to other influencers to promote it. Warning: Anyone buying in will likely lose money. He's asking followers to identify which KOLs are shilling the token so he can unfollow them.

Ethereum investors continue holding despite prolonged underperformance, raising questions about conviction versus stubbornness in the face of persistent price weakness and negative sentiment.

Crypto stress signals are flashing in unexpected corners. $USDT is trading around $1.08 in India—an 8% premium over its peg—while $BTC hovers under $60K and fear index readings hit extreme levels.

The premium suggests strong dollar demand in local markets, even as global traders wait for clearer entry points. It's a useful pressure gauge for underlying liquidity stress before it shows up in price action.

Bitcoin could see 23x gains from current levels, according to analyst projections. The estimate represents a conservative baseline scenario, suggesting even higher potential in more optimistic cases.

JPMorgan's recent blog post on digital assets is being misread, according to Fox Business correspondent Eleanor Terrett. While the bank praised tokenization and modernizing financial infrastructure, it did not explicitly endorse the Clarity Act or any specific legislation.

Key distinction: JPM called for a broader digital asset "framework" with stronger safeguards, not a specific bill. The bank echoed CEO Jamie Dimon's concerns about stablecoin yield and illicit finance risks.

The tell: "Responsible innovation is already possible within existing guardrails, and it can scale further with the right framework in place." Translation—JPM believes it can innovate under current rules, and views new legislation as useful only if it tackles stablecoin and AML issues.

Bottom line: JPM wants regulatory clarity, but on its own terms—not necessarily the Clarity Act as written.

You can win in public and still feel broke in private.

Money solves problems. It does not replace people.

Becoming CEO at 17 might sound impressive, but the real test isn't the title—it's whether you can stay connected to the actual work. The people on the floor need to trust you're still in touch with what they do every day. That's the flex that matters.
