Gm. Happy Valentineโs Day to all those who celebrate. If you have a special somebody in your life, make sure they feel special today. If you donโt, donโt worry, Bitcoin is back above $50,000.

The BTC Comeback Continues

777 days.
Thatโs how long it took for Bitcoin to finally break back above the $50,000 milestone last reached on December 27th, 2021.
But baby, weโre here now. And weโre 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.
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 โnormieโ 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 wonโt pick up for real again until all-time highs ($68k).
