Optimistic Outlook: Bitcoin Enthusiasts Embrace a New Era

Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency pioneer, is currently navigating an emotional cycle that suggests a promising outlook for further price increases. According to a recent X post by crypto analyst Ali, Bitcoin's long-term holders are experiencing a transition from anxiety back to belief, a phase typically preceding significant bullish momentum. The emotional cycle involves phases of capitulation, hope, optimism, belief, and brief periods of anxiety, culminating in a potential euphoric peak marking the climax of a bullish cycle.

Ali's analysis emphasizes the importance of recognizing these emotional patterns for strategic decision-making. The recent shift from anxiety to belief indicates the possibility of Bitcoin recovering from recent setbacks and experiencing a surge in value as investor confidence returns. This positive sentiment aligns with Bitcoin's recent achievement of surpassing $50,000 for the first time since December 2021, reflecting broader enthusiasm within the cryptocurrency market.

As of the latest updates, Bitcoin has observed a notable 4.43% increase, reaching $50,036. This upward movement is complemented by a substantial 96% surge in trading volume, totaling $38.62 billion. Over the past month, Bitcoin has demonstrated robust growth of over 15%, solidifying its position as the dominant digital currency with a market capitalization of $983 billion.

So I was thinking about 🎃 and the riddle that suggested Taylor stepped up to stunt this time to spare Karlie. "Not her, take me instead." I think this Travis Kelce stunt is what Taylor agreed to do, but I couldn't figure out how the NFL played into it, or why Karlie might have been pushed to stunt to promote them. Karlie's stunt buddy has no connection to the NFL, right?

Right?

It took a while to find. (Hilariously, most of the responses for his name and "NFL" are those shots of him and Karlie "playing ball" on the street, where Josh isn't exactly beating the accusations, if you know what I mean.) But when I switched to "Thrive Capital", I found this.

https://www.gunder.com/news/thrive-capital-co-leads-fanatics-350m-series-e/

"Gunderson Dettmer represented Thrive Capital in its co-lead investment of Fanatics, a multi-channel sports merchandise retailer, in its $350 million Series E financing. Thrive Capital was joined by Fidelity Management, Franklin Templeton Investments and Neuberger Berman Group. Fanatics is now valued at approximately $6.2 billion.

Forbes reported that the financing “is expected to help accelerate Fanatics’ rights acquisition strategy and spur further M&A activity. Fanatics already has deals with the NFL, MLB, the NBA, the NHL, MLS, Nascar and European soccer clubs, as well as more than 300 individual teams.”

This was 2020.

Explains why Karlie is always being dragged to NBA games with him and promoting her fantasy football league, and why Taylor is being so over the top in making sure we understand promoting sports merch is a big part of this deal.

I wonder what they wanted Karlie to do, that Taylor seemingly felt this was the better option?

Interesting 🤔 Good research!

November 15, 2024

On Sunday morning, November 10, I attended the christening in New Jersey of a beautiful, newly-arrived great-niece. At the reception afterward, there were about 50 adults in attendance. If I had to guess, I would say all of them voted, half or a little more for Trump and half or a little less for Harris.

The media would have you believe that ours is such a divided country that the reception would have ended in fireworks: the purple-haired college student calling her boomer uncle a fascist, the uncle calling his niece a commie pig, the girl’s father punching the uncle, the uncle shooting the girl and her father. No, we didn’t have nearly that kind of fun. Everyone behaved him or herself, much as anticipated.

True, after flying into Newark on Saturday, my conservative kin and I indulged in an hours-long Schadenfreude fest. Having gotten that out of our system, we behaved admirably on Sunday. That should not surprise anyone. Ours is a divided country only superficially. As we all understood at the Christening, blood, and shared culture trump the politics of the moment.

The election of 1860 was divisive. The election of 2024 was a passing fit of hysteria ginned up by a dying and increasingly dishonest legacy media. In July, after a week-long family reunion at the New Jersey shore, I led my Book-TV presentation for Ashli: The Untold Story of the Women of January 6 with that very observation. Said I, “The divide in America right now is not about ideology but about where we get our information.”

To make my case, I cited a survey done by Franklin Templeton-Gallup during the last six months of 2020. In the survey, some 35,000 Americans were asked their assessment of COVID, a subject that had dominated the news, left and right, since the beginning of the year.

I'm 6 hours into the Pale Beyond on Steam and I'm enjoying it a lot. It's a survival management game where you balance resources and maintaining loyalty. It's got the Terror vibes, since the Franklin Expedition and the Endurance expeditions were direct inspirations. There's a character who I think looks like Cornelius Hickey who's background probably isn't the cleanest, and the doctor has Goodsir vibes. Someone says 'this place wants us dead'. The characters and narrative are intriguing. Also you get to pet dogs (I have a bad feeling about this).

It's difficult to not reset the game every time you mess up, and the game would prefer you not do that, since you have to restart the entire week. It's not just because of a more beneficial choice, but I also don't want to upset the characters.

Speaking of the characters, I did not expect to get attached this much. Even though you mostly interact with the specialists, the majority of them are given enough characterization to make them stand out. It should be quite easy getting a good/neutral response once you have a grasp on their personalities, generally just respect them and don't pry too much. Just do what they want you to do or find a neutral point.

Moving onto resource management. The most common resource you'll get is food, but besides eating, you also have to burn them for warmth. It's not hard to keep the crew happy so far, so you could alternate between half rations and half heat each week and be fine, which is what I should've done. If people get sick, there are ways to immediately heal them, or if you don't want to waste resources, send them to the doctor and they'll be fine next week. But it's still a hard choice if you like the characters as much as I do.

There are some bugs, like resource cards turning black when I click them even though I can add more and a few letters extending far beyond my screen (might not be wide screen optimized yet). I also experienced a loading problem besides the game screen popping out. It's not a huge issue (or I'm just used to Fallout New Vegas), and devs are fixing them.

Even if you're not a Terror fan, give it a go if you like narrative-driven strategy games with an interesting cast and brilliant art style.

SPOILERS up to Act 2, maybe beyond!

I have a tendency to spoil endings for myself. I didn't watch any youtube videos, but I did go on the steam forums and read some reviews. But first:

I thought Templeton was definitely going to stab me in the back somehow (judging from one reviewer), but up till now he's just being pragmatic and giving sound advice, if not a little suspicious. It's not hard to get on his good side. And wow, the plant metaphor really suits him! Please don't stab me in the back.

Grimley, on the other hand... it's ok if you don't completely trust me, but you don't have to sing about it to everyone, especially if we're going to be stuck together for a long time. Seriously, everyone is loyal to me but him. What the hell do I have to do to make him at least tolerate me? Cool song though.

I knew Hammond was going to fight someone sooner or later. Great work ethic borderlining on obsessive, but if I tell him to take a break he'll be pissed. Hopefully with Timmy helping, he'll worry less. Nice sense of humour.

Kurt is fine, surprisingly not that arrogant for a celeb. He's definitely insecure about his age and use of a cane hindering his ability to help, but he's still knowledgeable.

Junior is more sociable and receptive, but I'm still suspicious of him, considering his closeness to Captain Hunt and his brother.

Kasha is nice and super helpful for morale. It's great that she warms up to the crew, especially Arthur and Kurt.

Speaking of warming up (heh), Arthur's relatable with his social anxiety and need to be reassured. He does start bonding with the others. Besides that, there's Cordell with her love of singing and theatre and dogs.

The character development is amazing. The most heartbreaking part for now is when all the characters say they might not make it back and tell you to look after their family/tell their family etc.

Other memorable characters include science couple, science gun guy, Thomas Blanky vibes, the gymnast, and Timmy and his da. Also Grips who told me was in the military (because I picked colonial).

Leave the ship a week after announced, before dinner.

Get the medical supplies for the expanded bed space, one set of digging tools, and the guns to get more food and defend against the seal asap. Use the shotgun if you don't wanna die!

Don't hesitate because you want to please both characters.

Theory:

The expedition is funded by the canned peach company. (Huh. Tins.) Templeton and most of the science staff are botanists. Why would you need botanists in the cold?

Captain Hunt said something like 'if I don't take this then others will'. Then he got drunk and left. It's definitely related to the expedition.

On the forums and in the achievements, I saw something about a 'tree' and 'fruit'.

The Viscount went to look for the Tree five years ago and vanished. The peach company hears about this and wants to find the tree and make money off the fruits, or the fruits are magical somehow and they want to exploit it. They organize the expedition in the name of finding the Viscount and send Templeton and the scientists to study the Tree. Hunt hears this somewhere, doesn't agree. He takes the job, deliberately choosing the path so we would get stuck in the ice, ignoring Kurt's advice. He sets off with some trusted crew members and leaves to find the Tree so we don't get to it. The rescue ship is to bring the harvested fruits back.

Snutx Focuses on Trump New Developments: Integrating TradeFi and Cryptocurrency

Recently, Cointelegraph reported that Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson highlighted the potential for the new Trump administration to promote clearer regulations by integrating traditional finance (TradeFi) with cryptocurrency. Snutx quickly took note of this news and, through its global market insights, discovered that blockchain technology is increasingly being regarded as an emerging foundation for ETFs and mutual funds. This presents significant advantages for investors and industry professionals alike, while also offering new development opportunities for the platform.

The trend of integrating TradeFi with cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly evident, with many institutional investors closely monitoring this development. Jenny Johnson emphasized the need for regulatory clarity to facilitate this integration, thereby reducing costs and fostering technological innovation. Snutx has incorporated efficient matching mechanisms and multiple layers of security into its trading system design, providing a smoother operational experience for global users. This approach not only aligns with the trend of regulatory transparency but also enhances the transparency of asset allocation and fund flows.

The potential application of blockchain technology to ETFs and mutual funds is also seen as a major breakthrough for future financial markets. Jenny Johnson pointed out that the efficiency and programmability of blockchain could bring revolutionary upgrades to fund settlement and management. Snutx has observed that this model can significantly optimize transaction costs and improve the efficiency of net asset value (NAV) calculations, enabling asset management firms to offer products to clients more quickly and with lower risk. In the competitive landscape of the coming years, those who can seize the opportunity to integrate blockchain with fund products will likely become industry leaders. Snutx firmly believes that merging blockchain infrastructure with mature financial instruments will create a win-win scenario for all stakeholders.

The global process of cryptocurrency compliance is accelerating, and the Trump administration shifting toward supporting cryptocurrencies is seen as a key factor in driving industry advancement. Many observers have noted that if the U.S. government clarifies the legal status of Bitcoin and other crypto assets, it will provide global institutions with a more stable market outlook. In response to regulatory changes, Snutx has maintained a high degree of flexibility, continuously optimizing its internal compliance review mechanisms to protect user rights and asset security. While strictly adhering to relevant laws and regulations, Snutx strives to offer users more cryptocurrency trading opportunities and set an example of standardized operations for the entire industry.

The expansion of blockchain technology in trade, financial derivatives, and securitization is accelerating. An increasing number of traditional institutions are exploring and deploying blockchain infrastructure, aiming to simplify internal processes and reduce transaction costs through this technology. Recognizing this trend, Snutx has invested significant resources in upgrading its technical framework, striving to build smoother transaction processes and robust security systems in preparation for the potential integration of TradeFi and cryptocurrency. Once regulations become clearer, Snutx will be ready to provide high-quality services to institutional investors and retail users alike.

Franklin Templeton Seeks Approval for Launching Spot Ethereum ETF

In a significant move within the ETF market, Franklin Templeton has submitted a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking approval for a Spot Ethereum ETF launch. The proposed "Franklin Ethereum ETF" is slated for listing and trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. upon regulatory approval, according to the filed S-1 document.

Franklin Templeton views the Ethereum ETF as an investment comparable to a direct investment in Ether, providing investors with exposure to the cryptocurrency without the complexities of direct ownership. The filing emphasizes the ETF's role in simplifying the challenges and operational burdens associated with investing in Ether directly.

The asset manager's initiative falls in line with a broader trend, as major players such as Grayscale, BlackRock, Fidelity, Ark, 21Shares, VanEck, Invesco, Galaxy, and Hashdex have already sought SEC approval for Spot Ethereum ETF launches. James Seyffart, Bloomberg’s Senior ETF analyst, brought attention to Franklin Templeton's entry into the Ethereum ETF landscape in a recent X post.

According to the filing, Coinbase Custody Trust Company and the Bank of New York Mellon are designated as custodians for Ether and cash holdings, respectively. Additionally, Franklin Templeton has expressed its intention to engage in staking a portion of the ETF's Ether, potentially generating additional income in the form of staking rewards.

While the SEC's decision on Ethereum ETFs faces reported delays, Seyffart suggests that further delays are to be expected. He highlights May 23 as a pivotal date for potential approvals related to Spot Ethereum ETFs.

Franklin Templeton Predicts Global Adoption of Strategic Bitcoin Reserves in 2025

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer Franklin Templeton has forecasted a wave of nations adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve in 2025. According to the company’s digital assets outlook, published on December 30, Bitcoin is expected to solidify its position as a global digital store of value, driven by institutional and sovereign adoption. While Franklin Templeton did not specify…

US Spot ETF Issuers’ Cash Outflows Spark Bitcoin’s Bearish Start to 2025

Key Points

Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to enter 2025 in bearish correction mode, with significant cash outflows from US Spot ETF issuers.

The cryptocurrency industry is predicted to shift from speculative to utility-focused in 2025, driven by clearer regulations, institutional adoption, and AI-crypto convergence.

Bitcoin’s price ended 2024 on a bearish note, falling below a key support level around $93K. Despite being in a correction phase since hitting nearly $100K earlier in the month, investors anticipate a bullish recovery in 2025, propelled by institutional adoption.

Industry Shift in 2025

Financial services company Franklin Templeton forecasts a shift in the cryptocurrency industry from speculation to utility in 2025. The industry is becoming a vital part of the global financial sector, spurred by clearer regulatory frameworks, institutional adoption, and significant developments in AI-crypto convergence.

Institutional Bitcoin Activity in Late 2024

Institutional demand for Bitcoin varied significantly in the final days of 2024. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net cash outflow exceeding $800 million over the last two weeks. On December 30, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of around $426 million, with no issuers registering a net cash inflow.

BlackRock’s IBIT reported a net cash outflow of about $36.52 million, Grayscale’s GBTC had a net cash outflow of around $134 million, and Fidelity’s FBTC recorded a net cash outflow of approximately $154 million.

As a result, the US spot Bitcoin ETF market is predicted to end 2024 with total net assets exceeding $106 billion, making it the best-performing ETF in its debut year.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy Inc. continued its weekly Bitcoin purchases, investing about $209 million between December 23 and 29. Consequently, the company will end the year with around 446,400 Bitcoins, accounting for more than 2 percent of the total supply.

What’s to Come?

On-chain data analysis from CryptoQuant suggests that Bitcoin’s price could continue in bearish correction in the short term, potentially finding solid support at around $80K, a level where traders have little incentive to sell. Bitcoin’s price also lost a key support level around $93k in the past 24 hours, potentially signaling further selloffs in the near term.

From a technical analysis perspective, Bitcoin’s price has been forming a bearish reversal pattern over the past few weeks. Coupled with the bearish divergence on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Bitcoin’s price closing below the 50-day Moving Average (MA) over the past five days indicates further bearish sentiment.

However, crypto analyst Ali Martinez remains optimistic that the macro Bitcoin bull run is not over, as the bear market typically begins once the monthly RSI reaches 92 and it is currently around 75%.
