To investors,

Bitcoin hit a brand new all-time high yesterday. The digital currency has been on a tear since falling to approximately $75,000 just a few weeks ago. This means bitcoin is up over 25% in the last month, nearly 60% in the last year, and more than 1,100% over the last 5 years.

I continue to tell people — if you can’t beat it, you have to buy it. I don’t make the rules. And there are not many people who can outperform the best performing asset of the last 15 years.

Just take a look at this chart. This is what total domination of financial markets looks like.

So why is bitcoin rising so aggressively in recent weeks? Simply, the market is pricing in tough times ahead, which makes bitcoin an attractive safe haven from the chaos. Take the latest spending bill coming from Washington as one example. As the market has learned more about its impact on the national debt and annual deficit, bitcoin started climbing higher. Peter Schiff, everyone’s favorite bitcoin hater, put it perfectly:

“The bond market is sending a clear signal that the Big, Beautiful Bill may be big, but it’s anything but beautiful. 10-year Treasury yields are up to 4.62% & 30-year yields are up to 5.14%. Rates are going much higher, compounding the cost of financing the soaring national debt.”

If you dig even deeper into what is happening in the bond market, the picture gets even less fun. Adam Kobeissi explains:

“For the first time since October 2021, the US 5-Year to 30-Year bond spread has steepened to 1.00%. What does this mean? Markets are pricing-in stronger growth, higher inflation, and “higher for longer” interest rate policy. The last time this happened, CPI inflation was at 6.2%.”

One way to think about this situation is “the bond market is talking and bitcoin is listening.” That is exactly how it should be. Add in the fact that a structural setup in the last few weeks had primed bitcoin for a strong upward movement and you get the magic we are watching play out right now. Jordi Visser, a fan favorite weekly guest on my podcast, explained this short squeeze situation perfectly:

Jordi pretty much nailed it. And Will Clemente highlights bitcoin’s rise has now put it firmly in the top five global assets in the world.

And the most insane part of this rally is that retail doesn’t even seem to notice. Jason Williams, Mr Going Parabolic, shows that Google search volumes are essentially non-existent right now.

And Willy Woo shows that institutions are not panic buying either yet — he says “I’ve never seen flows into BTC coming in so smooth. It’s like institutions are dollar cost averaging in with their billions.”

And as a reminder, Marty Bent’s TFTC dropped this chart which opens your eyes to just how significant the US debt situation is. This is the best marketing campaign for bitcoin you could ever have.

The debt is not going to be balanced. The annual deficit seems to be getting worse and worse. And if the dollar is going to be debased, then bitcoin is going to keep going up forever. Bitcoiners have been talking about this for a long time but it seems like the rest of the world is finally realizing what the future looks like.

Hope you all have a great day. I’ll talk to everyone tomorrow.
