Guess what day it is? Humpday! Folks, Institutions are here and there is no doubt about that. BNY Mellon is saying it, Coinbase is saying it, ErisX is saying it; don't blink because you will miss it. As Mike McGlone says, it's only a "matter of time" before Bitcoin gets to $100K and the one thing I am doing during this Crypto Winter/Spring is stacking sats. As you might have been able to tell, I've reduced the curation of "analysts, traders, influencers" type articles to silences some of the noise.

Meawhile, Bitcoin remains flat and sentiment continues to be mixed. Which way does it go is anyone's guess at this point. TA suggest further downside pressure still exist so be smart, be safe, stack sats, and HODL.
