Click here for our Fear & Greed Index]( BITCOIN JUST HIT A NEW ALL-TIME HIGH! 📊 Check it out. [BTC]( hit a new all-time high in 14 countries this week. I repeat… not 1, not 2, not 3… FOURTEEN (!!) [Source: @balajis]( (Fun fact: these 14 countries [make up]( ~13% of the world’s population and ~7% of the world’s GDP). From Argentina to Japan to Nigeria, people around the world are flocking to the OG cryptocurrency. Why? - Inflation rates are soaring in most of these countries. For reference, Argentina’s inflation rate just hit 254%. Ouch. - Local fiat currencies are facing rapid devaluation. Just check out the [10-year returns](for global currencies against the U.S. dollar. (Spoiler alert: it’s one big game of how-low-can-you-go). The result: BTC is becoming the financial equivalent of a bomb shelter during the ongoing currency wars. [INCOMING: THE $100K FUNTICO TOURNAMENT!]( It’s time.

No matter how badly timed the investment was. [Source: @woonomic]( Now here’s how that 4-year investment period stacks up with other assets (s/o to [Willy Woo]( for the data): - BTC: 30-60% annualized returns. - SP500: 10% annualized returns. - Real Estate: 10% annualized returns. BTC is in a league of its own. P.S. - Let me tell you a quick story related to this… The year was 2020. The world was locked down. It was chaos. The good news? Our bank accounts had just been injected with a $1,200 stimmy (aka stimulus checks). Some people used the money for business (i.e. pay rent, bills, etc.). Others used the money for pleasure (i.e. shopping sprees, DoorDash, etc.). But I had one friend who did something different… he invested his $1,200 into BTC. Fast forward to today (~4 years later), and that investment is [worth]( $9,230. That’s a +669% return. Crazy, I know. I used my $1,200 to turn DoorDash into my personal chef and all I got in return was 20 pounds of “love padding” in my midsection. The big takeaway: If you're willing to ride the Bitcoin rollercoaster for 4 years straight, the ticket pays for itself – and then some. THE MOST SURPRISING PART OF THIS RALLY 🧐 The crypto market has been on a roll over the last few months… - [BTC]( had its first weekly close above $52,000 for the first time in 2 years. - [ETH]( is a hair away from hitting $3K again. - Many [altcoins]( have seen double-digit gains. But the most surprising part of the rally? Most retail investors are nowhere to be found. According to data from [The Block](, less than 20% of Coinbase’s total volume last quarter came from retail investors. [Source: The Block]( The good news? [Coinbase]( just saw its first quarterly increase in retail trading volume since Q4 2021. It’s only a matter of time before the retail wave floods the market.
