from ZeroHedge:
After kneejerking lower by over $4,000 after yesterday’s hot CPI print, bitcoin has recovered all those losses and then some, to top a fresh record high of $73,600 this morning…
“Bitcoin wiped out overleveraged longs, retested the 2021 cycle high & then bounced back to $72,000,” popular trader Jelle summarized on X, adding that the landscape was now “looking good” for upside continuation.
by Nikolaus Hoffman, Bitcoin Magazine:
Yesterday, BlackRock released a new video aimed at educating people interested in Bitcoin on the asset class.
The video is quite good, honestly. I think they took inspiration from Saifedean Ammous’ book “The Bitcoin Standard,” which discusses the history of money from the beginning of time and how it has changed and evolved throughout history.
from ZeroHedge:
Crypto exchange BitMEX is currently investigating “unusual activity” involving large sell orders on its BTC-USDT spot market overnight that sparked a flash-crash dragging the price of BTC (in USDT) down below $9,000 (while the price remained above $66,000 on other exchanges)…
Doesn’t seem like a very smart move for the ‘rogue seller’ to dump over 400 BTC at that time of day into an illiquid market – why not wait until the US BTC ETF market is running its magic and sell into that liqudity?
from RT:
The leading cryptocurrency has reached a two-year high after several consecutive days of gains
The price of Bitcoin, the world’s highest-valued cryptocurrency, surged past the $60,000 mark on Wednesday, according to CoinDesk.
The token rose above $60,600 at 14:55 GMT, its highest level since November 2021, marking a gain of over 6% over the past 24 hours.
from Activist Post:
In a vote of 25-5, Texas’ bitcoin reserve legislation has been approved by the Senate. It will now advance to the House.
Today, the Texas Senate has passed SB 21, a bill aimed at creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the state, by a vote of 25-5. The bill will now advance to the Texas House for further consideration.
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick identified SB 21 as a priority bill for the 2025 legislative session this past January. The bill aims to position Texas as a leader in Bitcoin adoption by establishing a reserve of BTC, which proponents argue will serve as a hedge against economic instability and inflation.

Before we get down to this week’s blogs, I want to wish everyone (again) a blessed Paschatide. This past week was Orthodox holy week and I appreciate everyone’s patience for the changes in scheduling and so on during the past two weeks. This Friday, in fact, we return to our regular schedule of vidchats, with an old format vidchat scheduled for 2PM US Central time, weather permitting (of course). For those newer to the website, the old format vidchat differs from the new in only one respect, and that is that you email your questions and comments directly to me at Vardas3@hotmail.com, rather then posting them in the members’ area comments boards. Remember to keep your comments and questions to about a page length. If you’re uncertain about the length, print out your email prior to emailing them to me to check the length. We are still constrained by time limits. Also, be sure, on old format vidchats, to put VIDCHAT COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS in all capital letters in the subject header. This helps me to spot your email and make sure it gets saved for the chat. With that, down to the business of blogs:
