Happy Saturday Folks! Last week crap was hitting the fan as the banks were failing, Bitcoin was maintaining above $20K as USDC was depegging; Fear and Greed index was at 33. What a difference a week makes eh? Bitcoin is now running 24/7 for 10 years with zero downtime.
The best performing asset in the past 7 days is $BTC believe it or not - up 35%; ranked #1 on Coinmarketcap.com; it's been a while since the King of Crypto has taken this spot. Fear and Greed Index is a whopping 64. Most covered news this week was Binance buying up $1B in Crypto and the price of Bitcoin smashing past $26K and Podcast of the Week is Unchained. Let's review the week shall we?

Bottom line: As I type Bitcoin is trading at $27,521.96 and for the week (M-F) Bitcoin gained $3,226.40. We've not seen this kind of price movement in Bitcoin for a while. Many times you hear people talking about the Black Swan events, it turns out bank failures is a White Swan event for Bitcoin. On my show this week, I previewed the market sentiment and it was overwhelming bullish and I hope you make time to watch, subscribe, like and ring the bell. Keep buying the dip, be smart, stay safe, stack sats, and HODL as "Matty Sats" would say!
