10-second Bitcoin price update: BTC made a 21-month high when it crossed ~$46k. Most likely it’ll run to ~$48,250 which is the next significant established level from history.

• MY OPINION: Much better to hold your own BTC than to buy a spot ETF for self-custody reasons. Though it's understandable for folks who have significant 401k's to allocate some or all of that to spot BTC ETF because the early withdrawal fees are hefty.

USD’S GLOBAL AUTHORITY ON ITS WAY OUT: 

JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Central Bank of Iran announces Iran and Russia don't require SWIFT to transact 😱👀 Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Iran for International Affairs, Mohsen Karimi, announced on Sunday that they no longer need the “SWIFT” system in transactions between them. LINK: https://twitter.com/bitcoinnewscom/status/1744626148468797689?s=46&t=vVc0El_KmRCeSRi0tAT8wQ

What is SWIFT? The SWIFT system, which stands for "Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication," is the largest and most streamlined method for international payments and settlements. It works by assigning each member institution a unique ID code (a BIC number) that identifies the institution, country, and branch. SWIFT is a member-owned cooperative controlled by its shareholders and overseen by the Group of Ten countries' G-10 central banks. It is crucial to global financial infrastructure, with more than 11,000 global SWIFT member institutions sending an average of 44.8 million messages daily

Bitcoin Circular Economy projects: 

At the upcoming @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town Conference, we will consider a proposal and (potentially) help fund the establishment of a new #Bitcoin Circular Economy project in South Africa. Something much like Bitcoin Beach and our own project, Bitcoin Ekasi. However, it'll be different in that #Bitcoin AND #Nostr will serve as its foundational cornerstones. If succesfull, the announcement will be made at the conference and soon after, on here. Stay tuned.

The price of bitcoin currently around $45k. It went up around 5% ($3k) over the past day or so. But it wouldn't be weird or bad if the price came back down below $40k for a bit until it continues its surge upward over the next 18-24 month bull run.

He finally admitted it:

Jim Cramer, a well-known Bitcoin skeptic, has recently changed his stance on the cryptocurrency. Acknowledging its resilience, he remarked, "you can't kill it," and admitted to its technological marvel. This sentiment echoes that of Michael Saylor, who has long recognized Bitcoin's significance, stating, "Bitcoin is a reality. It’s a technological marvel, and people need to start recognizing that it’s here to stay." Together, their statements mark a notable shift in the perception of Bitcoin's role and longevity in the financial world.

Literal political corruption shoved in our face:

In a bewildering turn of events, Sam Bankman Fried, previously embroiled in a political donation fraud case involving $100k of misappropriated funds mainly given to Democrat organizations, astonishingly had all charges dropped. The rationale provided by the court is as perplexing as it is frustrating – they expressed a desire to expedite his other legal proceedings and swiftly move beyond this issue. This decision starkly illustrates a disturbing pattern of privilege and protection among political elites, a luxury blatantly denied to ordinary citizens.

After Gold got its ETF in 2004:

After the approval of its ETF, gold experienced an 8-year bull run. With the imminent approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF, it's intriguing to speculate how much Bitcoin, a VASTLY superior asset compared to gold, will outperform it. Given Bitcoin's history of consistently outperforming gold, this upcoming phase could be even more significant. (See the website for the image: https://fractalbitcoin.com/)
