Gm. Happy Valentine’s Day to all those who celebrate. If you have a special somebody in your life, make sure they feel special today. If you don’t, don’t worry, Bitcoin is back above $50,000.

The BTC Comeback Continues

777 days.

That’s how long it took for Bitcoin to finally break back above the $50,000 milestone last reached on December 27th, 2021.

But baby, we’re here now. And we’re so much stronger than we were back then:

• This rally has come despite a historically hawkish Federal Reserve.

• Luna, FTX, Celsius, and 3AC are now things of the past.

• The Bitcoin ETF is here and pulling in hundreds of millions of inflows a day.

• Grayscale is virtually out of coins.

• The next bitcoin halving is only 62 days away.

And yet, despite all of these bullish signals, most people are still asleep at the wheel. Many a smart trader on Crypto Twitter are sidelined, while my “normie” friends still think crypto is dead and a scam.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is up 122% in the last year, Solana is up 367%, and Ethereum is up 60%.

The most hated rally continues.

The Big Picture: Crypto interest likely won’t pick up for real again until all-time highs ($68k).
