Hope everyone has worked off the post Superbowl hangover — my office bathrooms were getting absolutely punished yesterday — was a legitimate warzone. I enjoyed a few Delirium Belgian Ales while I watched 14 out of my 15 parlays get demolished from what I thought was a pretty boring game offensively.
I leaned towards the 49er’s knowing 85% or so of bets were on the Chiefs AND the odds were +100 — seemed to me like a trap. Unfortunately the globalist world order made sure that the Chiefs won so 50% of all young impressionable voters could see Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift make out post game after Travis almost killed Andy Reid in a fit of rage on the sidelines. Watching Usher, Ludacris, and others come out on stage made me feel old.
Should’ve known Mahomes would pull one of his trademark slippery salamander scrambles for the dub.
Well the show goes on and it’s hard to care about degenerate parlays when the crypto market has decided to rear it’s head on go on a bullish tear that is telling us quite a bit of what’s in store later this year.
Bitcoin has soared past $50,000 USD in the last 24 hours.
Economic prospects in general for the younger generations are bleak — it’s no secret savings are at an all time low, most Americans cannot afford a $1,000 emergency expense, and many more will never own a home. Layoffs are growing, remote work is getting pulled back, and people are eager to find some hope in what seems like a complete fiat money fraud globally.
$1M dollars isn’t even considered that much anymore. Options are sparse for people to see true wealth appreciation in the coming years. January CPI inflation rates fell to 3.1% this morning, above expectations of 2.9%. Core CPI inflation remained unchanged at 3.9%, above expectations of 3.7% (Kobeissi Letter). This could benefit those who want to get into crypto quickly - more on this later. U.S. stock futures are already declining after this CPI print came in hotter than expected.
The certainty of Fed rate cuts in the spring is dwindling — cutting any hopes of traditional market resurgences short at least for the time being. Globally, we are seeing a de-dollarization push by BRICs members and our geopolitical opponents. The U.S. Senate passed a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan that contains no border security provisions at all — fiat money and the empires who print it endlessly will soon grapple with the side effects of this circus.
But it’s not just market conditions weighing on most people — personal financial indicators are pointing towards growing hardship for millions of people despite what headlines say about economic health.
48% of Gen Z say they feel behind financially, along with 59% of millennials, per Credit Karma.
The doors are closing on the crypto opportunity. That’s not an alarmist statement or a phrase I use lightly to spread FOMO or dread — it’s the obvious truth. There will be few opportunities in financial markets or tech that come close to the ability to facilitate life changing wealth than crypto.
Plenty of doubters and naysayers still exist but now they need to compete with several sobering facts that indicate they are severely wrong in their outlook.
BlackRock and Fidelity now own a combined 171,705 Bitcoin
Bitcoin has a rough average annual return of almost 50%
Insitutions are already piling up for ETH ETF submissions
Bitcoin is up almost 95% in the last year
Consider this your final warning before you’re chasing the trend.
Everyone, from complete crypto noobs to professional money managers, to average Joes who have already seen some success can benefit from today’s post which will cover:
Current Landscape of Financial Markets & Health
What’s Coming For Crypto (How To Print)
What To Expect In Future
Right now — it is evident that many people are sidelined from crypto — either because they panic sold months ago, lost everything in a disaster like FTX or Celsius, or because they have a bad taste in their mouth from the rapid sell off we saw at the end of the last bull market. Regardless — the Titter timeline is noticeably less crowded, there is less excitement, and almost no euphoria.
Good.
There’s a reason Arb Letter is a top 5 paid crypto substack behind our quasi digital mentors
and — It’s because unlike many of the noisy and scammy crypto influencers online — I keep it simple. I’ve been in crypto since 2016, I’ve made high returns over the years, and I don’t get cute with “active” trading or outlandish strategies that leave most investors broke or so mad they never return to the space.The good news is if you’ve read Arb Letter and opted for our paid posts (for literally less than a shitty coffee each month) you’ve had the blueprint for months now to print off this rally and the coming bull run. We’ve gotten dozens and dozens of DMs from subscribers who took our approach and made good money off $LINK, $ETH, and $BTC in the last 2 months and I’m glad many took action.
Today we’ll talk through the best way to position yourself given recent updates, what to expect in the coming months, and what’s next in the space.
Let’s get into it.
Every smart person that I admire in the world, and those I semi-fear, is focused on this concept of crypto for a reason. They understand that this is the driving force of the fourth industrial revolution: steam engine, electricity, then the microchip - blockchain and crypto is the fourth.
