How a rise in job openings in the US caused Bitcoin's price to tank

Dec. 7 was a tough day for Bitcoin, which shed more than $5,000 after the announcement of US job openings data. The reaction seemed a little confusing, so we’ll start today’s episode by unpacking that. Then, we’ll look at a bullish stance on driving BTC to new heights in 2025, before moving on to a landmark tax case in which a Texan is ordered to hand over his private keys and seed phrases. Finally, we’ll see how a trader turned $2,000 into $3.2 million in just 10 hours, and it wasn’t with a memecoin!
