Markets are ripping back to all-time highs, but crypto still isn’t following suit.

They also unpack Saylor’s STRC “money printer,” the World Liberty DeFi controversy, and the SEC’s surprise ruling that just gave DeFi a major win. Plus: the Bitcoin community’s plan to freeze Satoshi’s coins and what it means for the future of the network. --- 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 --- BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🔮POLYMARKET | PREDICTION MARKET 🪐GALAXYONE | SOLANA STAKING 🦊 METAMASK | DOWNLOAD NOW 🌐BRIX | EMERGING MARKET YIELD 🎯THE DEFI REPORT | ONCHAIN INSIGHTS --- TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Intro 2:04 Markets at ATHs / Iran De-Escalation 30:41 Saylor STRC / Bitcoin Bid & ETH Treasury Race (Tom Lee / Bitmine) 46:24 World Liberty Financial (FTX-style risk) 55:22 SEC DeFi Ruling (Bull Case) 58:39 Bitcoin Quantum Plan (BIP-361) 1:02:53 Closing & Disclaimers --- Not financial or tax advice.
