    Bitcoin Blasts Past 92K on CPI Data as Bitmine Bets Big on Ethereum Staking

    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey folks, Crypto Willy here on The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, bringing you the hottest updates from the past week leading into January 13, 2026. Bitcoin's been on a tear, smashing past $92,500 after the Bureau of Labor Statistics dropped December CPI data showing 2.7% year-over-year inflation—right on economists' noses, with core CPI at 2.6%. Bitcoin Magazine reports this cleared the late-2025 data fog, boosting soft-landing hopes and Fed cut odds, even amid DOJ probes into Fed Chair Jerome Powell fueling that safe-haven vibe. BTC's hovering around $92,300 now, with U.Today noting a breakout above $92,576 resistance on the hourly chart, eyeing $94,000 and potentially $100k if bulls hold strong.

    Over on Ethereum, Bitmine's staking a massive $4 billion—nearly a third of their $13 billion stash—positioning as the world's top staker, per DL News. Chair Tom Lee, backed by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and Cathie Wood's ARK Invest, projects $374 million annualized revenue and calls the mini crypto winter post-October 2025 over. He's urging shareholders to vote by January 15 on his stock split proposal to juice shares from 500 million to 50 billion. Lee's supercycle bullish, forecasting ETH to $250k, with Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick dubbing 2026 Ethereum's year, hitting $40k by 2030 on stablecoin and tokenization waves, especially if the Clarity Act passes Q1.

    Price predictions are firing up too—Changelly forecasts BTC climbing to $100,639 by January 15, averaging $97,995 this month with a max near $104,947. Meanwhile, IG sees consolidation below $95k due to macro jitters, but BeInCrypto says shrinking losses could push to $95k soon. KESQ reminds us BTC's at $93k now, up from pennies in 2010, though Warren Buffett still calls it magic without yield.

    US Senators just unveiled draft legislation for crypto market rules, clarifying jurisdiction, says AML Intelligence—huge for regulatory clarity.

    Markets at a glance: BTC up 1.9% to $92,440, ETH +0.8% at $3,139, total crypto cap at $3.1 trillion post-pullback.

  • Bitcoin Consolidates Near 90K as Altcoins Steal the Spotlight and Tom Lee Eyes 200K

    Bitcoin Consolidates Near 90K as Altcoins Steal the Spotlight and Tom Lee Eyes 200K
    Jan 10 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey frens, Crypto Willy here, and this week in The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show has been one of those “nothing’s happening… until you zoom out” kind of weeks.

    Bitcoin has been grinding in that tight **$87k–$95k** consolidation zone, with U.Today noting only about a quarter‑percent move in the last 24 hours, classic post‑rally “catch your breath” behavior. AMBCrypto points out that we even saw a liquidity sweep down toward **$90k**, with some traders like Cryp Nuevo eyeing potential wicks into the **low $80ks** if things really flush. Options flow tells the other side of the story though: big money is still paying up for **$98k–$100k calls** into late January and February, basically betting this chop is just the coiling spring before the next leg.

    Macro is quietly helping. CoinShares, via ETFTrends, highlighted that early‑year U.S. job data looks soft, and that weaker labor plus a more dovish Federal Reserve gives **Bitcoin more room to grow** as liquidity slowly tilts back toward risk. That lines up with the narrative that 2025’s brutal Q4 washout reset leverage and now 2026 is about structured, institutional accumulation rather than degen blow‑off tops.

    On the prediction game, the takes are all over the map. 24/7 Wall St reports that **Tom Lee from Fundstrat** went full bull on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” calling for a **new Bitcoin all‑time high above $126k by the end of this month** and reviving his **$200k–$250k** target for year‑end 2026. On the other side, Finbold covered an AI model that’s way more chill, putting **January 31st** around **$92k** and the year closer to **$150k**. Changelly’s technical forecast sits somewhere in between, mapping a gradual push toward **$97k–$100k** over the next couple of weeks rather than a face‑melting spike.

    While Bitcoin catches its breath, the rest of the market is getting spicy. Coinpaper notes that **altcoins now make up about 50% of total crypto trading volume**, overtaking both Bitcoin and Ethereum in share. That means the risk curve is turning back on: capital is rotating out the curve as soon as BTC stops making new highs. In that mix, Finance Magnates points out that **XRP has ripped roughly 25%** recently, actually outpacing both Bitcoin and Ethereum returns over the same period, which is exactly what we see in classic late‑cycle alt seasons — even if we might only be mid‑cycle this time.

    Regulation hasn’t gone quiet either. Law firm Lowenstein Sandler’s January 8 Crypto Brief highlighted **Representative Ritchie Torres** introducing the **Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026**, a reminder that while markets are maturing, Congress is still trying to draw lines around what’s “trading” versus “gambling.” That sort of policy noise tends to matter more now that crypto is wired into ETFs, pensions, and Wall Street desks rather than just offshore exchanges and Discord groups.

    So where does that leave us this week? Bitcoin is in a volatility compression zone with options traders and macro tailwinds quietly loading the spring, altcoins are grabbing half the volume and flexing higher beta, and the regulatory machine in Washington, D.C. is still humming in the background. It’s not fireworks‑every‑hour territory, but it’s exactly the environment where patient positioning pays.

    Thanks for tuning in to The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show with me, **Crypto Willy**. Come back next week for more charts, narratives, and on‑chain gossip. This has been a **Quiet Please** production — and if you want more from me, check out **QuietPlease dot A I**.

  • Bitcoin Eyes 100K as Fear Greed Index Signals Hidden Opportunity in Early 2026

    Bitcoin Eyes 100K as Fear Greed Index Signals Hidden Opportunity in Early 2026
    Jan 6 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    # Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show - Weekly Update

    Hey everyone, Crypto Willy here, and wow, what a start to 2026 we're having! Let me break down what's been happening in the crypto space this week, and trust me, there's some seriously bullish energy in the air.

    First up, let's talk about Bitcoin. According to CoinDesk, major tokens including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin are all seeing a strong start to 2026. Bitcoin's been hovering right around the $93,000-$94,000 range, and here's where it gets interesting. Changelly's technical analysis is showing some really compelling price action. They're forecasting Bitcoin could hit $97,382.97 by January 8th—that's a potential 4.72% jump in just two days. If that happens, we're looking at some serious upward momentum.

    But here's the thing: the Fear & Greed Index is sitting at 26, signaling fear in the market. This disconnect between technical indicators showing bullish potential and market sentiment showing caution is actually pretty typical during these breakout moments. Over the last 30 days, Bitcoin's had 17 out of 30 green days—that's a 57% win rate—so the short-term momentum is definitely there.

    Now, let me get into the longer-term picture because this is where it gets really exciting. On the daily chart, Bitcoin made what's called a "false breakout" of the resistance at $94,652. If that holds, we could see a test of the $92,000-$93,000 support zone this week. But here's what the bulls are watching: if we can hold that $94,652 level, traders are positioning for a potential blast all the way to $100,000.

    And get this—Tom Lee, the analyst over at Bitmine, is predicting a January breakout to new highs before February even hits. That's some serious conviction right there.

    Looking at monthly forecasts from Changelly, January 2026 shows a minimum price around $92,832, an average of $96,103, and a maximum potential of $99,374. For the full year 2026, experts are looking at an average trading price around $134,174, with potential highs reaching $153,147.

    The broader crypto market, including Ethereum and Solana, is riding this same wave upward. According to the latest analysis, we're seeing sustained buying pressure despite some bearish pullbacks. It's the kind of action that makes hodlers smile and day traders rub their hands together.

    So here's my take: we're at an inflection point. If Bitcoin holds above $94,652 and we get that push to $100,000, we're looking at serious momentum heading into February. The Fear & Greed Index suggests some are still nervous, which historically means there's opportunity for those willing to stick with their conviction.

  • Bitcoin Blasts Past $90K: Big Players Buying, Crucial Votes Loom

    Bitcoin Blasts Past $90K: Big Players Buying, Crucial Votes Loom
    Jan 3 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    # The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show - Week of January 3rd, 2026

    Hey everyone, Crypto Willy here, and we've got some seriously interesting action happening in the crypto markets right now. Let me break down what's been going down this week.

    First up, Bitcoin just hit the $90,000 mark on January 2nd according to CNBC Crypto World. We're talking major movement here, folks. Ethereum and XRP are riding right alongside Bitcoin with solid gains as we kick off the new year. Now, I know a lot of people are nervous with all the fear in the markets lately, but here's the thing—veteran investors know that extreme fear is exactly when the biggest opportunities show up. And the data backs this up.

    Here's where it gets really interesting. Tether, one of the biggest stablecoin players out there, just made a bold move on New Year's Eve. They bought 8,888.88 Bitcoin—yeah, you read that right—plus a few more satoshis for good measure. That's not the move of someone who's worried. Tom Lee also picked up more Ethereum around the same time. These are the big money players showing their hand, and they're buying, not selling.

    But here's what really caught my attention: long-term Bitcoin holders, the OGs who've been in this space forever, have started flipping from sellers to net buyers. That's a significant shift in market psychology. These aren't newbies—these are the people who've weathered every crypto winter. When they start accumulating again, that tells you something about where they think we're headed.

    Now, before we pop the champagne bottles, there are some important catalysts coming up that you need to mark on your calendar. January 15th is shaping up to be a massive day for crypto. That's when Congress votes on the Clarity Act—legislation that could fundamentally impact how crypto companies operate in the United States. On the same day, we're getting decisions about which crypto companies stay in the MSCI index and which ones might get booted. These aren't small things, people. They directly affect the regulatory landscape and institutional adoption.

    We've also got tariff discussions looming, and there's chatter about a potential government shutdown later this month. These are the kinds of macro events that can create volatility, so keep your eyes open.

    The overall sentiment? Despite the fear and uncertainty at the start of January, I'm bullish on 2026. We might see some turbulence in these early weeks, but the fundamentals are lining up. Once we clear these January hurdles—especially that critical 15th—I'm expecting a clearer path for some serious bullish price action. Think of it like clearing out the uncertainty so the market can really run.

    Thanks so much for tuning in to The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show. Make sure you come back next week for more updates on what's moving in the crypto space. This has been a Quiet Please production—head over to quietplease.ai to check out everything we've got going on over there. Stay sharp, stay informed, and I'll catch you next week!

    Bitcoin Battles $90K as Strategy Stacks Sats, Cycle Debates Rage On
    Dec 30 2025
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey folks, Crypto Willy here on The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, bringing you the hottest updates from the week leading into December 30, 2025. Bitcoin's been on a wild ride, dipping below $90K and testing our nerves, but let's dive in like we're grabbing coffee together.

    Kicking off with markets: Binance reports Bitcoin traded between $87,052 and $90,588 this week, closing around $87,434 down 2.4%, with the global crypto cap at $2.96T, off 2.1%. U.Today notes a false breakout at $88,889 on the hourly chart, now hovering near $88,574 with bulls eyeing $90K if they hold. KuCoin highlights a 3% drop to $88,810 amid a $100B market sell-off and $207M liquidations, while spot BTC ETFs saw seven straight days of outflows, including $19M Monday. Investing.com pins it back at $87,458 on thin holiday trading and Fed minutes jitters. CoinDesk blames tax-loss selling for the slip below $88K, hitting crypto stocks hard.

    Big buys though—Michael Saylor's Strategy firm snapped up 1,229 BTC for $108.8M, boosting holdings to 672,497 BTC, per KuCoin. PlanB on YouTube calls November's close at $90K a 30% dip from ATH, sparking cycle debates as Binance notes analysts buzzing over Bitcoin's four-year pattern.

    Predictions are pumping: Changelly forecasts December max at $91,645, averaging $90,766, with tomorrow at $91,645 and early January pushing $96K. U.Today sees end-of-year bull control but midterm sideways $86K-$92K trading. Economic Times warns of volatility from that massive $23.6B Bitcoin options expiry on December 26—the biggest ever—potentially shaking support at $80K-$82K, though bullish divergences hint at short rebounds.

    News highlights? Japan plans to digitize local gov bonds by 2026, Arizona Senator pushes Bitcoin tax exemptions, Michael Selig named new CFTC Chair for U.S. innovation, BlackRock touts BTC ETFs as top themes, and EU Council with ECB align on digital euro design. Binance spots outperformers like LUMIA up 28%, PORTAL 16%, DOLO 15%, while ETH dips to $2,959, SOL $124.

    Holiday low vol expected, but treasury firms like Strategy outpace JPMorgan in volume. Changelly eyes wild long-term: $615K average by 2030.

  • Bitcoin Slumps, Gold Flexes: Crypto's Wild Ride Amid Macro Chaos | Quiet Please AI

    Bitcoin Slumps, Gold Flexes: Crypto's Wild Ride Amid Macro Chaos | Quiet Please AI
    Dec 27 2025
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey folks, Crypto Willy here on The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, breaking down the wild week in crypto leading up to December 27th. Man, what a rollercoaster—Bitcoin's been taking hits while gold flexes like it's 1971 all over again.

    Kicking off, DL News reports Bitcoin slumped hard, missing that Santa rally everyone hoped for, dipping year-to-date after peaking near $95,000 post-Donald Trump's inauguration surge. Ethereum and the gang followed suit, now in the red overall. Meanwhile, gold, silver, and platinum hit fresh highs amid geopolitical tensions and that debasement trade vibe—CoinDesk nails it, calling out crypto's slide as safe-havens like copper soar too.

    Price action? Brutal Q4 drop of 22.8%, Bitcoin's second-worst since 2018 per AInvest analysis. It's hovering $87,500-$90,000 in a tight band, forming a rising wedge pattern with bearish RSI under 50, negative MACD, and Chaikin Money Flow screaming outflows. Key supports at $86,000—if that cracks, we're eyeing $80,600 then $73,000-$75,000. Upside? Break $94,589 on volume could rocket to $105,000, but retail's fleeing while institutions hold steady. December 26 options expiry added spice, with calls at $100,000 teasing a bounce, though Fear & Greed's at extreme fear 20 via Changelly.

    Bright spots: Metaplanet in Japan got board approval to stack more Bitcoin, per DL News—corporate HODLers stepping up. Changelly's forecast sees BTC climbing to $93,179 by December 29th, averaging $92,394 for the month with a max $95,714. PlanB on YouTube warns below $100k signals caution, but eyes recovery paths. ForecastEx markets? Slim odds for $175k by year-end—96% betting no on even $145k.

    Geopolitics and macro are king this week, folks—Bitcoin's consolidating without full capitulation. Stay nimble, watch those levels.

    Thanks for tuning in, buddies—catch you next week for more! This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

  • Bitcoin Battles Choppy Waters as Crypto Enters Adulthood in 2025

    Bitcoin Battles Choppy Waters as Crypto Enters Adulthood in 2025
    Dec 23 2025
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    # The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show – Week of December 23

    Hey everyone, Crypto Willy here, and man, what a wild week it's been in the crypto space. Let me break down exactly what's been happening as we're heading into the home stretch of 2025.

    First up, Bitcoin's been doing its thing in the high-$80,000s, and honestly, it's been pretty choppy. As of yesterday, BTC was consolidating around $88,000 after traders failed to decisively reclaim that $89,000 to $90,000 zone. We've seen this resistance area tested repeatedly, especially with the holiday liquidity drying up. Right now, we're looking at some interesting scenarios playing out – traders are basically caught between continued sideways action between $87K and $90K, or potentially sliding down if we lose that $87,000 support level.

    Now here's where it gets interesting. The US Dollar Index has been taking a beating throughout 2025, dropping significantly. You'd think that would be a tailwind for Bitcoin, right? Well, surprisingly, the struggling dollar hasn't quite boosted BTC as much as you might expect. That tells me there's some other stuff going on beneath the surface with risk appetite and market dynamics.

    But here's the really big picture story: according to Interactive Brokers, 2025 marked something major – crypto actually entered adulthood this year. The shift wasn't about hype anymore; it moved from excitement-led adoption to infrastructure-led utility and long-term capital alignment. What does that mean for us? Well, excess speculation got wrung out of the system. Memecoin volumes collapsed, leverage got reset hard, but here's the important part – real usage held strong. Payments, stablecoins, and active users proved resilient. That's the structural demand, folks.

    Mastercard's analysis backs this up perfectly. They're reporting that 2025 marked a pivotal shift in how crypto, particularly stablecoins, actually fits into the financial system. We're talking real-world use cases, not just casino trading.

    On the price front, Bitcoin's endured a turbulent December with prices dropping nearly 9% and volatility spiking to levels we haven't seen since April 2025. It's definitely been volatile, but according to the analysts I follow, there are still some bullish signals emerging underneath all this noise.

    Looking ahead into January and beyond, predictions vary wildly. Some forecasters are calling for continued consolidation, while others see potential moves in various directions depending on macro conditions and Federal Reserve policy moves that keep getting delayed.

    The bottom line? We're in a maturation phase. Real infrastructure and adoption are replacing pure speculation. That's actually healthy for the space long-term, even if it feels bumpy right now.

    Thanks so much for tuning in to The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show. Make sure you come back next week for more updates and analysis. This has been a Quiet Please production – head over to quietplease.ai to check out everything we've got cooking. See you next week!

  • Bitcoin's Boring Tape Belies Bullish Fundamentals & Wall Street Creep

    Bitcoin's Boring Tape Belies Bullish Fundamentals & Wall Street Creep
    Dec 20 2025
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey frens, Crypto Willy here, and this week in The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show has been all about **quiet accumulation, loud regulation, and serious Wall Street creep‑in**.

    Let’s start with **Bitcoin**. According to U.Today, BTC’s been hovering in a tight range around the **$88,000** mark, chopping sideways between roughly **$87,800 support** and **$88,500 resistance**, with low volume and neither bulls nor bears really in control. U.Today notes that traders are basically waiting on a clean break of **$90,000** before committing to a new leg higher, and they don’t expect big volatility spikes before month‑end. In other words: the market is catching its breath while everyone recalibrates for 2026.

    Changelly’s analytics desk is calling this a **bearish‑leaning but structurally bullish** setup: daily trend under pressure, but weekly trend still pointed up, and their near‑term model has Bitcoin grinding just above **$88,500** into late December. That lines up with the vibe you’re feeling on-chain: not euphoric, not panicked — just that tense “calm before something breaks” energy.

    Zooming out, Bloomberg’s crypto team reported that **Bitcoin briefly ripped above $94,000** earlier in the month before sliding back toward the mid‑$80Ks, putting it on track for what they called roughly its **fourth down year** on record by calendar performance, even though the long‑term chart is still up and to the right. In that same Bloomberg segment, Vuk Vujinovic from **21 Capital** talked about wanting Bitcoin to **decouple from equities** over the next couple of years and trade more like **digital gold**: lower volatility, store‑of‑value behavior, and less of this “just another tech risk asset” correlation.

    Meanwhile, the **institutional rails** are getting built out fast. Bloomberg highlighted that **five crypto firms, including BitGo, won conditional approval for U.S. national trust bank charters**. That’s a huge deal for anyone running serious money: it means more regulated custody, cleaner compliance, and easier portfolio mandates for pensions, family offices, and traditional asset managers that couldn’t touch raw exchange risk before. Think of it as the Wall Street on‑ramp getting paved while retail is still arguing about memes on X.

    On the **derivatives and expectations** side, prediction platform ForecastEx shows a heavy dose of realism: only a tiny minority of traders are betting on Bitcoin finishing 2025 above the six‑figure levels that were hyped a year ago. Most of the smart money seems positioned for **strong but not insane upside**, rather than another face‑melting blow‑off top.

    So where does that leave you, the investor hanging out with me every week? This past week has basically underlined three things: **Bitcoin’s consolidating near high levels**, **regulators are slowly blessing pro‑grade infrastructure**, and **institutions like JPMorgan and BitGo keep sliding deeper into tokenization and custody**, even as price action looks boring on the surface. Boring tape, interesting fundamentals — that’s classic pre‑move territory.

    Thanks for tuning in to The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show with me, Crypto Willy. Come back next week for more charts, chain data, and degen‑friendly, institution‑grade alpha.
