Let me explain how I could possible be BULLISH crypto in the wake of this past week,
First, Operation Chokepoint is FAILING in real time, despite the efforts of regulators to quietly choke off the crypto industry from trying to compliantly operate in the broader capital system,

CME Futures basis in BTC blew out over last 24 hours,
My guess,
1) Folks are front-running a futures-based BTC ETF
2) Short are getting margin-called,
And, likely both.
Allowing BTC to break from other risk-assets, driving the inflation/gold narrative at just the right moment.

5 reasons why $WULF wins long-term:
1. Lowest cost producer of
