There is a hidden theme in today’s episode — history repeating itself. Since the correction following Bitcoin’s all-time high, many analysts have demonstrated that the shape of the current market mirrors the 2020 breakout in many ways. But is that creating something of a trap for investors? Elsewhere, Tesla might be buying BTC again, data suggests altseason is close, and the X community is still optimistic about the metaverse.

• BTC price needs 5% dip to liquidate $2B of Bitcoin longs
• BlackRock wants to buy spot Bitcoin ETFs for global allocation fund
• Is Tesla buying Bitcoin again? BTC wallet data sparks curiosity
• Altseason is coming — Or at least data suggests that it’s close
• Majority of social media posts about metaverse show positive sentiment

The past 24 hours have seen relative stability in the price of  Bitcoin, but if you think that is indicative of nothing worth knowing in the space, you’d be wholly mistaken! Records have been broken left and right by the U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs, BTC mining revenue is booming, and even gold hit a new all-time high! Moreover, some believe Bitcoin’s bull run and the upcoming halving will spark a resurgence for NFTs. What do you think?

What a 24 hours it’s been! From seemingly nowhere, everything has gone parabolic; Bitcoin rallied 11%, BRC-20 tokens and layer-2s are pumping, and spot Bitcoin ETFs notched an all-time high in volume for a single day. As always, many are saying the bull run has started, and forever the skeptic, I resist the claims, but I’m running out of objections. Is it finally here?
