The Wolf Of All Streets

Bitcoin bounces off its 200-week moving average amid a quick pump to $63.7K on Trump Iran comments before pulling back. The crew discusses whether this is a bull trap, double bottom test, or the start of a hated summer rally, while covering MicroStrategy’s latest BTC buy, SpaceX IPO liquidity drain, and AI sucking capital from crypto.

Other highlights include the Clarity Act push by Sen. Lummis, new crypto tax discussion drafts, Zcash’s Ironwood upgrade after a major bug discovery, altcoin weakness, leverage dynamics, and long-term Bitcoin adoption challenges around taxes, self-sovereignty, and bank balance sheet rules.

A wide-ranging market sentiment check with bullish long-term conviction.

Bitcoin sparked its first real relief rally of the cycle this weekend — pumping from sub-$60,000 lows up to $63,700 and crushing $504 million in shorts in 24 hours (the biggest single-day short squeeze since late April) — but the bounce is already losing steam as fresh Iran-Israel strikes shatter the April ceasefire, sending oil up over 3% to $96 and Korea's KOSPI crashing nearly 9% in three minutes. This week's macro calendar is brutal: Wednesday's U.S. CPI print is expected to jump to 4.2% YoY (from 3.8%) — a hot reading locks in a restrictive Fed and could deepen the record ETF outflow streak — plus the ECB hikes to 2.25% Thursday, the CLARITY Act enters full Senate floor debate all week, JPMorgan/BofA/Citi just unveiled their own bank-backed tokenized network as a defensive move against stablecoins, massive token unlocks (HumidiFi unlocking 111.59% of supply Tuesday alone, HYPE $673M) pile selling pressure on already-weak markets, and global central banks have pushed gold holdings to the highest level this century. We break down whether $504M of squeezed shorts marks the cycle bottom or just a dead-cat bounce before the next leg down, what a hot CPI print means for Bitcoin's $60K floor, and which catalysts this week could finally turn the tape.

Dan Tapiero has deployed over half a billion dollars into crypto's biggest private companies - Kraken, Ledger, Animoca, and the Deribit deal that became the largest M&A transaction in crypto history. In this conversation, he explains why we're at the integration moment between traditional finance and the onchain world, why his team is now exclusively looking at AI-adjacent deals, and why he believes thousands of trillions of dollars in agent-powered transactions are coming within the decade. We also get into why Coinbase could become the Amazon of finance, how prediction markets are creating truth machines, and why the digitization of money is bigger than the internet itself.

Bitcoin just collapsed below $62,000 in one of the worst weeks since July 2024, with the AI trade unwinding violently and $1.5 billion in crypto longs getting wiped out in 24 hours. We are now staring down $60K with the next technical support all the way at $55K, and the safety nets that held earlier 2026 drawdowns are gone. Meanwhile Zcash absolutely cratered 37% in one of its worst single day slumps ever after Shielded Labs disclosed a critical Orchard pool bug that could have allowed unlimited undetectable counterfeit ZEC, a vulnerability hiding since 2022 and uncovered by Anthropic's Opus 4.8 AI model. We are breaking down whether Bitcoin defends $60K or rolls to $55K, what the Zcash bug means for the entire privacy coin narrative, and why this could be the most dangerous setup of the entire cycle.

Bitcoin just crashed below $62,000 as crypto markets have officially erased over $2 trillion from their October 2025 peak — a 48% drawdown — while $1.5 billion in leveraged longs got wiped out and Bitcoin ETFs extended their outflow streak to 12 consecutive days, totaling $4 billion in the longest stretch of withdrawals in ETF history. Add Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirming the U.S. will NOT buy Bitcoin on the open market (the Strategic Reserve grows only at "deliberate speed" through confiscations), Sanders, Warren, and Bobby Scott moving to block Trump's plan to add crypto to 401(k) retirement accounts, Bitwise estimating Bitcoin's "fair value" at $224,000, Visa and Mastercard reportedly joining forces with Coinbase and Stripe on a new stablecoin platform, and BitMine filing a $300M preferred stock raise to stack ETH (copying Saylor's STRC playbook) — and today's setup is the most fragile crypto has looked all cycle. We break down what's driving the historic ETF bleed, whether the sovereign-bid bull case is officially dead, and what catalysts could stop Bitcoin from cracking $60K before the weekend.
