Summary
This weekly review covers Bitcoin's record-breaking week, surpassing $80,000, and its subsequent dip following Fed Chair Kevin Walsh's hawkish Jackson Hole speech, which raised rate-hike probabilities. The episode analyzes the resurgent "debasement trade" narrative, citing new bullish price targets from Bernstein and BlackRock's Robby Mitchnick, who argues Bitcoin is a risk-off asset. Additionally, it details Strategy's financial updates, highlighting its near-debt-free status after raising over $2 billion in equity to bolster its cash reserves, despite significant shareholder dilution.
