4 GRAPHS YOU NEED TO BE TRACKING RIGHT NOW |
1/ Bitcoin is hitting all-time highs around the world |
๐จATTENTION! This is not a drill!๐จ |
BTC has hit a new all-time high in 14 of the top 20 currencies in the world. |
I repeat, this is NOT a drill! |
|
Next up? โMerica. |
(BTC is about 4% away from hitting a new all-time high in U.S. dollars). |
2/ Almost all BTC investors are now in profit |
Hereโs a crazy stat for youโฆ |
About 98% of all BTC investors are now in profit. |
|
Milky Fact of the Day: The last time Bitcoiners were this profitable was in November 2021. |
Congrats, you can all call in sick rich at work today! |

And now back to your regularly scheduled programmingโฆ |
3/ Crypto funds are seeing massive inflows |
The results from CoinSharesโ latest report are inโฆ |
$1.84B was invested in digital asset investment products last week. |
Itโs the 2nd largest weekly inflow on record. |
|
Hereโs everything else you need to know from the report: |
Trading volumes hit $30B, a new weekly record. BTC saw 94% of the investments. ETH saw $85M in total inflows, the largest weekly inflow since July 2022. Assets under management (AUM) hit $82.6B, and are close to reaching a new all-time. (It was ~$86B back in 2021). Most altcoins saw minor inflows. MATIC led the way with ~$8M, while SOL saw minor outflows for the 3rd straight week. |
Weโll see whatโs in store this week, but I have a feeling* it could be another record-breaker. |
*Side note: TBD if this feeling is a โgut instinctโ, or the Taco Bell I ate last night. |
4/ Bitcoin is dominating the NFT market |
Itโs official. The NFT market has gone multi-chainโฆ |
5 blockchains have seen over $1M in NFT volume over the last 24 hours. |
|
The surprising part? Bitcoin is leading the way. |
The OG blockchain has almost seen as much NFT volume as the other 4 blockchainsโฆ combined! |

THE NFL PLAYER WHO MADE A BIG BET ON BITCOIN ๐ฎ |
Meet Russell Okung. Heโs a: |
Former NFL star 2 time Pro Bowler Super Bowl champion |
And in 2020, Russell made a BIG decisionโฆ |
He became the first NFL player to take part of his salary in BTC (it was ~$30K at the time). |
At first, everyone laughed him out of the buildingโฆ |
|
Money managers called him a dumb jock. |
Financial advisors said he got hit in the head one too many times. |
Fast forward to todayโฆ Russell Okungโs Bitcoin bet has more than doubled. |
Hereโs what he recently had to say about the process: |
โLife is crazy. Countless hours with financial advisors and money managers, fearing the loss of wealth, and at the end of the day financial engineering went out the window. I simply buy Bitcoin, land, and embrace group economics. Now, more time to invest in family.โ | | Russell โI Told Ya Soโ Okung |

Here you go, King, you dropped thisโฆ ๐ |
