1-1-25 Happy new year to all of my friends and to all #Bitcoin holders and believers: this is your year! To hard-working investors and entrepreneurs who have not yet discovered the hardest form of money, I invite you to read my book, Bitcoin Supercycle (Skyhorse, 2024), which debuted as the best selling new release in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency category on Amazon. To understand is to believe. I appreciate all of the great thought leaders and champions who came before me, and especially those who continue to move the narrative of “the money of freedom” forward in 2025, from @saylor and @DavidFBailey to @ErikVoorhees and @realDonaldTrump. $100k is just the beginning…

bitcoin:native climbed from around $81,500 through $82,800 and reached $84,826 before handing the entire move back. A billion dollars arrived and the high did not hold.

This is the main caution on my upgrade. Money coming in while price refuses to stay higher means somebody is selling into that money at exactly these levels.

Resistance sits between $85,000 and $87,000. Until #Bitcoin closes above that band and stays there, the flows are being absorbed rather than driving anything.

Spot #Bitcoin ETFs took in $528.40 million on October 21, a third straight positive day. The number that matters is that eight of twelve funds bought and not one of them sold.

I’ve wanted @bengoertzel on a Tokenize! stage for a while. He’s speaking at my Las Vegas event this week, October 19 to 21. Get in: luma.com/TokAPE2026
He helped put “AGI” into the vocabulary. Now the whole industry is racing toward it. Ben Goertzel (@bengoertzel), Founder and CEO of @SingularityNET, joins the speakers at Tokenize! AI, Politics, Payments & Entertainment in Las Vegas 2026. Decades of AGI research, more than 25 books, and a decentralized AI network built so no single company owns what comes next. He expects AGI to arrive between 2027 and 2030. Come hear why. 📅 October 19 to 21, 2026 | Monday to Wednesday 📍 Las Vegas, Nevada 🎟️ Save your place: luma.com/TokAPE2026

PR still runs on too much manual work. @mediaclawnews, built over the last few months with Michael Shuler and Brad Rutten, puts agentic AI across the whole PR lifecycle. We go public at PRSA ICON this weekend. Read the full story: finance.yahoo.com/technology…

#Bitcoin closed Saturday at $83,062.80. My line for moving off neutral is a close above $83,300. That is a gap of $237, which is close enough to be frustrating and far enough to still count as a miss.

The other half of the test cannot move on a weekend at all. ETFs do not trade Saturday or Sunday, so the three-session counter sits at zero with Friday's $21.1 million as the most recent reading. #Bitcoin

From today the test is pinned to CoinDesk for daily closes. One source, named in advance, so there is no argument later about which number counted when the line is this close. bitcoin:native

Risk Dimensions' Mark Connors argues the crash showed derivatives can drive Bitcoin's near-term price more than on-chain demand does. That inverts how most people assume this market actually works. #Bitcoin

One year ago today #Bitcoin fell from about $122,000 to $105,000 in minutes and roughly $19 billion of leveraged positions were liquidated. It remains the largest such event in crypto history.

If you want one lesson from the anniversary, here it is. What hurts you in a bull market is not being wrong about direction. It is being right with borrowed money and no time to be right in. bitcoin:native

This is the single most consequential crypto story of the week and it will get a fraction of the attention a 2 percent bitcoin:native move receives. The settlement layer of US markets is migrating.

The Depository Trust Company, which custodies $99 trillion of securities, is putting US Treasuries on a blockchain this month. Not a pilot, not a sandbox. Commercial operation. #Bitcoin
