Bitcoin has been on a journey over the last 24 hours, from nearly $65,000 all the way down to $58,000 and everywhere in between. On today’s episode, NLW explores what’s driving it, including:
- Leveraged traders left over from last week’s all-time high
- Twitter CFO saying no investments in crypto
- President Biden signing the U.S. infrastructure bill with crypto broker redefinition
- Inflation questions
- Federal Reserve leadership questions
Finally, he points to Marathon’s offering of a half billion dollars in debt to buy more BTC and rigs as a counter-indicator.
