To the Moon Dood!

Alright alright ALRIGHT! Asmongold here and let's talk about the green dildos! Bitcoin just hit a new all time high surpassing its January record. We're talking $108,955.10 folks! Earlier it even touched $109,500. Can you believe it? It's like watching a level 60 boostie finally figure out his rotation...except ya know with money.

Macro Shenanigans and Crypto Dreams

So what's causing this pump? Apparently it's a cocktail of factors: softer US inflation a bit of a truce in the US China trade war (for now) and get this Moody's downgrading US sovereign debt. That's right the big boys are looking at Bitcoin as an alternative store of value. They're finally realizing that printing money like it's going out of style ain't sustainable. Who would have thought?

Remember When Bitcoin Was $74k?

Remember back in April when everyone was panicking and Bitcoin dipped to $74,000? Yeah me too. It felt like getting ganked by a rogue in Stranglethorn Vale...unexpected and painful. But now according to some fancy finance dudes we're in an "alternate universe" where risk assets can thrive. Maybe they're right maybe they're wrong. All I know is I'm gonna keep hodling and keep complaining about Blizzard.

ETF Inflows: The Real MVP?

ETFs tracking Bitcoin's price have seen massive inflows. We're talking over $40 billion! That's enough to buy a small country...or a lot of WoW tokens. And get this there have only been two days of outflows in May. People are putting their money where their mouth is...or at least where their digital wallet is.

Regulation Station and Corporate Greed

The government's actually doing something for once. The Senate is moving forward with a regulatory framework for stablecoins. Trump wants crypto regulation on his desk by August. Is this progress? Maybe. Is it going to be riddled with loopholes and corporate influence? Almost definitely. On top of that public companies are hoarding Bitcoin like Smaug hoarding gold. They now hold about $349 billion worth which is like 15% of the total supply. These guys are just printing money its insane!

Coinbase Joins the S&P 500: Is This Real Life?

And the grand finale: Coinbase is now part of the S&P 500. Wall Street is calling it a watershed moment for the crypto industry. Honestly it feels like we're one step closer to Bitcoin becoming the official currency of Azeroth. Whether that's good or bad I'm not entirely sure. But one thing's for certain: the chaos is only just beginning.
