We're staring down the barrel of a Bitcoin short squeeze, and while the word "brutal" is being thrown around, I see something far more exciting: opportunity. Forget the fear, embrace the future.

$108K: The Line in the Sand

We’re stuck below $107k, with sellers still trying to maintain that 108k floor. Why? Because above that, the rocket ignites. Think of it like this: it is the last line of defense for the bears.

I'm seeing those leveraged long positions building up, perpetual funding rates turning positive. It's all pointing in one direction. The pressure is mounting. And when that pressure finally releases, it certainly won’t be a gentle tap on the shoulder – it will be a tsunami. I know what you're thinking. Lian, are you out of your mind? What if it falls apart and crashes? Sure, there's always risk. But isn't there risk in everything? Letting your cash rot in a bank account that’s being eaten up by inflation? Investing in a rigged stock market that has been propped up for decades?

This isn't just about Bitcoin. It's about a fundamental shift in power. It’s your opportunity to seize the reins on your own economic future. And sometimes, that entails getting your feet wet during a period of volatility.

Powell's Replacement: A Catalyst?

It’s really fascinating to read the news about a possible change in Fed Chair in contrast with that set of expectations. Then you add to that Trump’s relentless pressure on Powell, his calls for rate cuts… the uncertainty. And uncertainty, my friends, is Bitcoin's playground.

Think about it: Trump wanted rates at 1%. Edelman Financial Services suggests that people have as much as 40% of their investment portfolio in cryptocurrencies. These are not accidents. These are signs of the times. More and more advocates have expressed that people are starting to understand that traditional finance is a deeply flawed system. That we need an alternative. Bitcoin is right there, poised to be at the front of that wave.

Now, I’m not suggesting that a new Fed Chair will be the spark that sets off the squeeze. But it pours an additional can of gasoline onto the incendiary fire. What’s become obvious, though, is the instability of that previous system. This reality makes the case for a more decentralized, resilient, and climate-friendly alternative even stronger.

Bitcoin: Financial Inclusion's Weapon

So, let’s connect some dots that nobody else is connecting right now. We preach Bitcoin as an investment though, save haven, store of value, inflation hedge. But it's so much more than that. It's a tool for financial inclusion. This democratizes financial access for the unbanked and underbanked. It empowers individuals that have been historically underserved and excluded by the up until now economic status quo.

Consider the example of the developing world, in which tens of millions of individuals are unbanked or underbanked. Bitcoin offers them a lifeline. A financial system that allows anyone to send and receive money—without high fees, without governmental oversight, without fear of being discriminated against.

This short squeeze, despite its dire consequences, might paradoxically serve to further speed this process along. We think it will generate significant new interest in Bitcoin, draw greater investment, and accelerate development of the broader ecosystem. It will send a message to the world that Bitcoin is more than a speculative asset – it’s a powerful force for good.

I’m not going to sugar coat it – this squeeze will be deep. You’re going to have dips and corrections and “what the heck am I doing” days. But remember why you're here. Remember what you're fighting for. Keep in mind that these projects are not just revenue generators, they’re investments in a brighter tomorrow.

I am not a financial advisor. This is not investment advice. Do your own research. Trade at your own risk.
