Episode notes
Another HUGE Week for Bitcoiners, with TONS of news from all over the world. Jane Street just got hit with a lawsuit — and the moment it dropped, Bitcoin's mysterious daily 10AM dump VANISHED. The price ripped 10%, adding $120 billion to market cap. Coincidence? We break down the allegations, the ETF manipulation mechanics, and what this means for price discovery going forward. The US and Israel launched strikes on Iran this weekend — Khamenei is dead, oil is spiking, and Bitcoin barely flinched. Dropped to $63K on Saturday, bounced to $68K by Sunday. We unpack why BTC is acting as a 24/7 macro pressure valve and what Monday's open means for the trade. Polymarket bettors wagered over $500 million on the Iran conflict within 24 hours — including a $45M contract on Khamenei's removal that resolved to 100%. We look at what prediction markets are telling us about the timeline for de-escalation and regime change. Jane Street's role as an Authorized Participant in IBIT gave them a regulatory "grey window" — exemptions from normal short-selling rules that critics say allowed systematic price suppression. The firm was already banned from Indian markets by SEBI for a similar "morning pump, afternoon dump" scheme. Now the TerraForm Labs lawsuit alleges insider trading that helped trigger the $40B Luna collapse in 2022.⚡ Bitcoin is trading around $67K as we record. Fear & Greed Index sits at 14 — Extreme Fear. $3.8 billion in ETF outflows in February. $327M liquidated in 24 hours. Is this capitulation, or the buying opportunity of the cycle?
