Bitcoin nears ATH without retail interest, Andrew Tate called out over memecoins
Episode description
A strong weekend for Bitcoin has led to one of the best weekly closes in months as BTC hit $69,500 in the past 24 hours. Naturally, all eyes move to $70K as the analysts look at where resistance lies and whether we will see another correction before Bitcoin can soar. Curiously, while the price edges toward the March all-time high, retail interest is around the lowest it has been in four years, according to Google Trends data. Elsewhere, Tether's market cap hit a record of over $120B, which is typically a positive sign, Stripe is said to have acquired crypto firm Bridge, a crypto influencer is caught out in a lie, and apparently, most memecoins Andrew Tate has mentioned have crashed to zero. It's a busy episode this morning!
