Today’s Nuggets

  • RFK JR Withdraws and Bitcoin Surges

  • Fed Confirms Cuts After 28 Months of Tightening

  • The Late August Spike

  • CZ is Out & Binance Doing Real Well

  • FSD 12.5.1.5 Rolling Out

  • NASA Gives Up on Boeing

  • Euro Hits 1-Year High versus USD


This “What Happened” lesson will cover much news to catch you up on all the stuff you may have missed this week. We will weave together a little tapestry of an overall good week of recovery.

The crypto market cap added $260 billion in a week, with a volume that was just shy of $80 billion. Bitcoin is at $64,300, and its dominance is at 53%. The Fear and Greed Index is back at 56.

  • Bitcoin is up a whopping 1.72%

  • Ethereum is up 2.29%, outperforming Bitcoin by a little bit.

  • Solana is up 16.26%.

  • Cardano, Polkadot, and Avalanche are in dark green as well.


The stock market previous to last week did well while crypto was down. All of a sudden, the stock market is flat.

  • NVDA is up 4%.

  • TSLA is up 2%.

  • AMZN is flat.
