🤑 CPI Gud? Resume Le Bull Run

🗞 Market commentary.

GM, we’re literally so back.

After yesterday’s soft CPI numbers, Bitcoin confirmed our target and bottom of $58,000 inflationary dollars, which we’ve been mentioning for almost two months. This was expected despite the absolute disbelief and doom on the timeline. Simply put, Bitcoin never goes under its production cost base, and if it did, it would violate the entire historical chart and the core mechanism of what we can call the Bitcoin business.

We’re not the only ones bullish, though. The past few days have been full of news about finance behemoths like Morgan Stanley and Millennium disclosing their massive Bitcoin ETF holdings accumulated during Q1. For example, Millennium Management now holds about two billion dollars’ worth of Bitcoin ETFs.

What about the meme mania, you might ask? Overall, we should stay bullish as long as Bitcoin remains strong. Plus, we literally received a warning against meme stocks from inverse Cramer yesterday, and you know what that means…

New virtual reality gaming player on the block: Victoria VR

Victoria VR just launched their early access this week, providing the first look into a brand new virtual MMORPG world where you can learn all about Feng Shui and master the art of spells.

Let’s see if blockchain-based virtual reality metaverse projects can start cooking again. After all, it’s been a while since the gaming season happened, and many of these projects have been grinding for years to put products out. Definitely a sector worth watching overall.

Lastly, the first Twitch streams are due to start today at 14:30 CET. Tune in!
