Dear Readers,
After half a year toying with the $100,000 level, bitcoin is taking its next leg higher. This is a gradual process of monetization—bitcoin becoming a global reserve asset.

This is a land grab.
We also ponder the budget, T-bills, the Eurodollar war, and the dirty politics behind another 6% deficit. Let’s get into some candles.
Stop asking how to value bitcoin. Start asking how to value everything else in bitcoin.
A new report from Unchained and Strive shows why companies and investors should shift their lens—and start benchmarking performance in bitcoin.
