🚀 $85,000 BTC Might Be Next. Is It Time For The Big Q4?

Brought to you by Unchained:

What is the best approach to Bitcoin self-custody?

Now, I’m assuming that most of you opt for self-custody. 

Well, Unchained is here to offer self-custody services that help you protect your precious investment and give you the flexibility you need to leverage your wealth.

If you’re still storing your Bitcoin in a hot wallet, then it’s definitely time to start thinking more about your crypto and its security with Unchained.

GM, the frenzy is just around the corner.

And it seems like it`s the bullish kind. Quick flashback to last week`s ramblings: the short-term macro news caused dips, which proved to be an opportunity after all. So far, Bitcoin is managing to provide the daily and weekly closes we need to march higher.

Right now, we`re about two and a half months away from the end of the year. An interesting point to be made here, underscored by an excellent analysis from analyst Fibboswani, is that simply put, the next reasonable area to look at for BTC before the next pullback seems to be around $80-85,000. 

What this means is if BTC doesn’t hit the hundred keks mark by year’s end, we’re still riding the most bullish timeline—right in line with the four-year Bitcoin cycle that’ll carry us into 2025, all backed by a macrocycle of rising global liquidity, which fits this timeline as well.

Another flashback: the Aave news we mentioned last week here, tied to Trump`s own DeFi project, WorldLibertyFi (which is coming out tomorrow) is already attracting whales, currently longing big AAVE stacks onchain. 

I mean, if Trump brings Ethereum DeFi back to life, I`m good with it.

Peapods Finance: The First Volatility Farming Primitive

Research

Trading volatility is a major part of Trad-Fi strategies, and in a market as volatile and immature as crypto, creating an instrument to take advantage of the conditions is a no-brainer.

That's Peapods Finance, which has seemingly executed well with the volatility farming primitive.

Nuff said

Let me yap a bit on these weekend thoughts in a bit more civilized manner.

Opportunities such as this bull market and this whole decade-plus crypto cycle are unique and happen once in a few generations. It`s not enough to play around in hopes of hitting a lottery; one must truly believe that it`s possible to make it and work to create one's own luck.

If you`re one of those mentally ill, locked-in ones who simply won`t give up until they reach their goals, remember that the time to lock out is nearing as well. Right now, we're in the money-chasing mode; the more challenging part is coming, though - the money-preservation mode. 

Whether it`s securing your Bitcoin, your family, whatever it is, there will come a day when you feel like a genius, being so early and having all these flashy PnL and wallet cards, looking at all the wealth you seemingly built: that`s when the Burj Khalifa comes crashing down. 

Don`t listen to anyone—not us, Murad, your cult, or your favorite meme group chat. Listen to your gut and secure yourself. This game is brutal; if you don`t take what`s yours, somebody else will. Such is the nature of all markets.

But that`s a talk for another time, perhaps 2025… 

stay safe homies,
