About this episode

The episode discusses the recent Bitcoin price jump and its implications for the market, featuring insights from guest Calum on altcoin performance and regulatory concerns.

The sea of red has finally flashed green, but is this just a "dead cat bounce" or the start of something bigger? In this episode, Pav is joined by special guest and fraud expert Calum to break down the sudden 5% Bitcoin jump and why the fear & greed index is finally climbing out of the "valley of fear". We’re looking at the massive 3,000% move from Rave DAO, the slowing sell pressure on US Spot ETFs, and why Ethereum is finally starting to show strength against Bitcoin. Plus, we dive into the "Clarity Act" conspiracy theories and share exactly what we’re doing with our own portfolios right now. Hint: someone’s becoming a Bitcoin Maxie.
