Bitcoin Death Cross: Signal or Clickbait?
Welcome back to the Cryptotwits Podcast — fresh off an Arizona offsite, with a snowstorm vibe check (Michigan vs Virginia chaos), and then straight into crypto.
We cover the BitGo (BTGO) IPO, which priced well above range and raised $212.8M with Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters, plus a quick rundown of what BitGo actually does (crypto custody — not an exchange). Then it’s ETF flows whiplash (big inflows, then sharp outflows), tariffs and headline-driven market reactions, and the whole Trump “ask for something insane to get something smaller” negotiation lens — including the Greenland chatter and what it could mean for things like bases, minerals, and even data centers.
After the vibe check, we hit the hard stuff: a $282M social engineering theft where a Trezor impersonator convinces a victim to give up a seed phrase — and the stolen funds are converted into Monero, helping explain a big move. We also talk about some of the craziest liquidation stories floating around on X, and why even experienced players still get caught.
Then Joey breaks down FIGURE — a crossover between blockchain and finance with strong stock performance and profitability metrics — plus why crypto lending/DeFi access to capital can grow globally, and why banks hate competing with it.
Finally, we go deep on the Bitcoin “death cross”: how often it’s a fake-out in Bitcoin vs the S&P 500, why it’s a lagging indicator, and the key “check-in” date to watch: February 14.
