Happy Saturday Folks! Last week we saw Bitcoin gain about $2000 and this week things look a big stagnant even with the drop and then the pop; meanwhile, tick tock next block. The best performing asset in the past 7 days was $ETH - up 0.76% and is in position #2 on Coinmarketcap.com. Last week the Fear and Greed Index was at 64 and today it's 60; this continues to be a good sign. 

Most covered news this week the increased transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain due to Ordinals and BRC-20 Tokens. The crypto community is split on if this brings value or is bad for Bitcoin. The Podcast of the Week would have to go to The Bitcoin Matrix as Cedric talked with Tomer about Bitcoin.

Monday the price of Bitcoin closed at $28,091.57 and the fear and greed index was 63. The most covered news of the day was
Bitcoin Transactions Soar as Ordinals Barrel Past 2.5 Million, Notch Daily Record.(8)
Podcast of the Day: Tomer Strolight: Hello. I Am Bitcoin. | The Bitcoin Matrix

Tuesday the price of Bitcoin closed at $28,680.54 and the fear and greed index was 55. The most covered news of the day was

Podcast of the Day: #1194 Dr. David Andolfatto | First Central Banker To Present Bitcoin Publicly | TPP

By Wednesday (Humpday) the price of Bitcoin closed at $29,006.31 and the fear and greed index was 64. The most covered news of the day was Celsius CEO Mashinsky Denies ‘Baseless’ Fraud Claims by New York State (3)
Podcast of the Day: Bringing 1 Billion People Into Crypto | TWOAS

Right over the hump on Thursday the price of Bitcoin closed at $28,847.71 and the fear and greed index was 64. The most covered news of the day was Coinbase to Stop Issuing New Loans Via Coinbase Borrow.(5)
Podcast of the Day: The Bull Market In Hard Assets | Jan Van Eck  | On The Margin

As the week came to a close on Friday the price of Bitcoin closed at $29,534.38 and the fear and greed index right about 61. The most covered news of the day was Bitcoin price sets new May high above $29.5K as traders eye breakout. Bitcoin’s Frenzy of Activity Pushes Average Transaction Fee Over $7, Nearly 2-Year High.(3)
Podcast of the Day: Gold, Bitcoin & Inflation with Lawrence Lepard | What Bitcoin Did

Bottom line: As I type Bitcoin is trading at $29,116.66 and for the week (M-F) Bitcoin gained $1,442.63; of course Saturday to Saturday due to the volatile nature of Bitcoin - it's down $181.88. We are still waiting for Bitcoin to break the $30K level once again - will it do it by this time next week? Leave me a comment if you think so!

My belief continues to be that no matter what happens I will be okay. Which means, have enough at play to move the needle if the market pops, have some dry powder if it drops, and remain calm and move on if it goes sideways. Keep buying the dip, be smart, stay safe, stack sats, and HODL as "Matty Sats" would say!

Well that is a wrap folks, if you'd like to be in the know throughout the day, join me on Wubits where I am constantly sharing my thoughts about the Crypto market and personal development type topics. It's a community where you can meet REAL people, make REAL connections, and have REAL conversations. Thanks again for reading, watching, and listening with me.
