🪙 WHALE WARS: New Whales (Short-Term Holders) vs. Old Whales (Long-Term Holders)

With 97% of circulating supply in profit, long-term holders have been realizing gains. Generally this represents the final phase of a Bitcoin bull market, but this cycle has been a bit different.

Much of this selling pressure is being absorbed by new phenomena in the market: the boon in stablecoins produced by the Trump Administration, the rapidly increasing by large institutional investors, and, of course, the potent inflows from a whole spate of exchange-traded funds ($IBIT in particular) premised on spot Bitcoin holdings.

Will we end up near the top soon anyway? Or is this a new, slower, and more stable type of cycle?

🇺🇸 You think it would be fair to say online gambling saved the NFL?

The left axis tracks NFL TV ratings year-to-year, and the right axis tracks the number of states that had legalized online gambling by that year.

After peaking in 2015, the NFL shed millions of viewers. In 2018, the Supreme Court tossed the prohibition, launching the trend. 45 states now allow the one-time illegal vice (except when the State does it with rip-off lotteries—that's kosher), and NFL ratings topped their 2015 high in 2024.

I think it's safe to answer "yes."

🇺🇸 The Consumer Price Index was up 0.3% month-over-month for September. This is a slightly cool reading as an increase of 0.4% was expected.

Year-over-year, CPI is up 3.0%, which is less than expected (3.1%) but more than in August's print (2.9%). A three-point increase matches January's print, which is now tied for the highest in over a year.

There are some signs that suggest this is a trend that may persist.
