The big news of the day continues to be crypto (can you hear the screams of SBF from the MDC?) which, only since October, is up about 150%.

The big news of the day continues to be crypto (can you hear the screams of SBF from the MDC?) which, only since October, is up about 150%.

In just two days, Bitcoin has blasted higher by about $10,000. Over the past fifteen months, BTC has gone from about $15,000 to four times that amount, and it’s actually getting within spitting distance of its lifetime high price of just under $70,000. The momentum is so tremendous, it has even reached Rainbow Escape Velocity, to coin a term.

Now that we’ve got another ridiculous, pointless holiday out of the way (I consider only 5 out of the 10 NYSE holidays to be worth keeping), we can focus back on trading with our 20%-already-hacked-off week. The screen is solid red, although we have another chance to see if Monday’s Don’t Matter or not.

Good heavens, can you imagine what’s going through SBF’s mind these days? His firm was absolutely destroyed, as was his life, and the lives of his parents, all because of a temporary downturn in crypto. And yet, here we are, with Bitcoin absolutely rocking the free world. Knowing that fact is probably worse than prison itself.
