The Breakdown
A highlight from An Analyst Warns on TUSD, stUSDT, and Huobi/HTX
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, N .L .W. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Sunday, October 8th, and that means it's time for Long Read Sunday. Before we get into that, however, if you're enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. Hello friends, welcome back to The Breakdown. As you might imagine, a huge portion of people's commentary and op -ed writing this week is about SPF and the trial, but man, we are doing a lot of coverage around that, and I kind of get a chance to editorialize constantly about it. So I wanted to do something different, although it may be a little less unrelated than it might at first seem. Today's Long Read is going to come from Twitter. It's around a viral thread by analyst Dylan LeClair, which has some pretty serious allegations around Justin Sun and Huobi. Now, I am not presenting this as definitive. I'm not presenting this as smoking guns. I'm presenting this because I think it's imperative in the world that we live in now, the post -Sam world, to be just a little bit more cautious, to pull on threads that seem strange, to explore and dive in and use the tools of on -chain analysis that we have available to us, to ask if the leaders in the space are behaving the way that they're supposed to be behaving. I think, unfortunately for exchange owners and for basically any other leaders in the space, they're just going to have to answer more questions now than they might have needed to in the past. I think that many of us have a sense that had we asked harder questions of people like Sam, we might not be in the situation that we're in now. I certainly feel that on a deeply personal level. So, like I said, the spirit that I present this to you is one, a desire to see a cleaner, better, more above board crypto space in general, and two, an offering for you to do your own investigations, to go explore what Dylan has to say and come to your own conclusions. On October 4th, Dylan tweeted, Thread on the web of deception with Justin Sun around Huobi, STUSD -T, and TUSD, as well as the TUSD relationship with Binance and the drain of real USD liquidity from the crypto ecosystem. In late 2022, Justin Sun reportedly acquired a controlling stake in Huobi, now named HTX, which had over 1 .5 billion Tether deposits at the time. Over the summer, deposited Tether funds started getting replaced by STUSD -T. This substitution has been largely unnoticed by Huobi users. What is STUSD -T? STUSD -T, controlled by Justin Sun, claims to provide a yield by investing in quote real world assets, such as treasury bills, while the actual flow of funds from Huobi's USDT to STUSD -T, and then to just lend DAO, indicates that no such investment into real world assets occurs. We can follow these swaps very clearly on chain, and let's remember that STUSD -T and USDT are considered as the same asset natively on Huobi, as evidenced by their lack of STUSD -T trading pairs. Instead, it goes to just lend under Sun's control, and the USDT is not burned. Huobi wallets have been found to transfer significant amounts of USDT to STUSD -T's staking contract, then STUSD -T circles back to Huobi. As seen in Bloomberg, you can see a shift in Huobi's reserves from July 1st to September 15th. On July 1st, USDT made up 18 .8 % of reserves, but by September 15th, this had dwindled to just 4 .7%, while Sun's STUSD -T grew to represent 14 .5 % of reserves. As an NLW aside here, Bloomberg was actually looking at the complete set of Huobi reserve assets and found that on July 1st before STUSD -T was introduced, tokens associated with Sun, which include Tron, made up around 38 .7 % of Huobi's reserves, and now tokens that are linked to him make up about 60 % of Huobi's reserves. This is obviously very top of mind, given the fact that FTX's collapse was associated with people realizing how much of Alameda's balance sheet was just SAM coins. Now back to Dylan's thread. Huobi USDT gets staked for STUSD -T, which then moves to just lend, a platform Sun controls. The USDT never invests in RWAs, but just sits in just lend, while Huobi users end up with STUSD -T instead of the USDT they thought they owned. Looking at just lend, currently there is 1 .3 billion STUSD -Ts supplied, earning 4 .23%, with only 15 .15K of borrowing, earning 0 .01%. The real -world asset story is a lie. However, it isn't uniquely USDT this is happening with. TUSD, which is also controlled by Sun, plays a part. Over the past six months, a significant portion of TUSD burns have been attributed to just two wallets, both associated with Sun. So, isn't it convenient that you can now quote -unquote stake TUSD to mint STUSD -T? In theory, the TUSD slash USDT is burned, so that the supply decreases, and the supposed cash -backing it invests in T -bills that earn a yield that's passed on to the holders of STUSD -T, i .e., 500 million of TUSD is minted, sent to Huobi, then sent to Sun's wallets, parked in just lend, mints STUSD -T, STUSD -T goes to Huobi, TUSD gets burned, STUSD -T on Huobi remains. TLDR? Use the Tether or USDT brand and its reputation internationally, swap it for fake STUSD -T, while it appears as regular USDT in the UI -UX on Huobi. And then what? What's the end goal? Why create an IOU of another stable and trick your users behind the user interface? For one, selling the USDT, which is actually mostly STUSD -T, for USDC, on Huobi. Data from Keiko shows this clearly through the USDC -USDT cumulative volume delta on Huobi, with 350 million of Tether being sold off for USDC in just over two months. Data from just over the last few days shows every single transaction over 100k is swapping USDT for USDC on the pair. To reiterate, it's mostly STUSD -T under the surface, being sold in hoards for USDC, which can then be redeemed for US dollars at Circle. This is not unique to just HTX -slash -Huobi, though. We have seen similar developments on Binance, albeit without the STUSD -T sleight of hand, since the SVB collapse, CVD shows an $8 .9 billion difference for the USDC -USDT pair, indicating $8 .9 billion of USDC buying while selling Tether on Binance. Even if you remove the first month post -SVD collapse, the CVD for the pair is still plus $4 -5 billion of net buying for USDC. Also according to Arkham, Binance wallets preceding the SVB crash to today are minus $4 .27 billion USDC and up $384 .1 million Tether. Let's also note Binance's curious relationship with TUSD. On March 15th, mere days after the SVB collapse and Binance re -enabling USDC trading on the platform, 0 % fee trading on little -known TUSD was enabled for the Bitcoin, ETH and BNB pairs. While zero fee trading is obviously anything but organic, the chart comparing Bitcoin to Tether pairs versus Bitcoin to TUSD pairs is something to behold. Dylan then shows a chart of Bitcoin TUSD volume absolutely leaping up. He then adds, but to be fair, it was an expected development from the 0 % fee trading promo. The real interesting chart, Dylan continues, is a look at the TUSD outstanding supply and the timing of its largest mints. Convenient timing for billion dollar increases in the stablecoin sent directly to Binance at a time where zero fee trading is enabled. Quite the timing, isn't it? Never mind that TUSD attestations are blatantly unreliable and shady, and its largest mints are coincidentally timed perfectly with market sell -offs. But the world's largest exchange is promoting said stablecoin with zero fee trading for its largest pairs? By the way, let's note the token distribution for TUSD, shall we? Dylan then shares a chart from Arkham that shows the vast, vast majority of TUSD controlled by either Binance or entities associated with Justin Sun. Dylan wraps up, One, Sun is creating a web of deception in order to siphon USD liquidity out of crypto using a multitude of fake stablecoins. And dare I say, he is a fraud. Two, CZ and his embrace of TUSD, despite it being very suspect, is also ominous and reeks of desperation. Three, TUSD minting patterns during sell -offs are suspect and must be noted. Four, Huobi users get out of USDT into another asset and withdraw immediately. Number five, it's no wonder the Chief Strategy Officer for Circle is saying that the crypto ecosystem is blatantly counterfeiting USD. Alright guys, back to NLW. Now Justin Sun for his part responded to this just by blocking Dylan. I haven't seen any commentary specifically addressing this, and I also haven't seen any follow -up reporting from other outlets like Blockworks or Coindesk, but what I do see is a lot of people retweeting this, quote -tweeting this, and saying basically, this is something that needs to have an eye kept on it. Travis Kling said, read this. Now imagine a world where we collectively held our leaders to some semblance of accountability, where Justin Sun would actually have to respond to this thread thoughtfully and with evidence rather than post four. Why don't we demand a world like that? Well, friends, it is in that spirit that I share this Long Read Sunday. Go check it out, and let's see if we can't start the next bull run in a much cleaner, better, more above board kind of space. Until next time, be safe and take care of each other.
Crypto News Alerts | Daily Bitcoin (BTC) & Cryptocurrency News
A highlight from 1415: Bitcoin Will Soon Hit $500,000 - Winklevoss Twins
"Welcome everybody to Crypto News Alerts, the number one daily Bitcoin pod. In today's show, I'll be breaking down the latest Bitcoin technical analysis as Bitcoin recaptures $27 ,000 and quoting Max Keiser, the high priest of Bitcoin, Bitcoin is the North Star guiding to the only safe haven asset in the world that protects against inflation, confiscation and censorship preach. Also in today's show, Ethereum futures ETFs can start trading as early as next week. According to top Bloomberg analysts, we'll also be discussing the SEC pushing back the deadline for spot Bitcoin ETF apps, definitely not a good look. And speaking of ETF apps, I'm also going to be sharing the five highlights of Gary Gensler's evasive testimony before Congress quoting Senator Warren Davidson. Gary Gensler's tenure at the SEC highlights two key problems. Number one, Gary Gensler's problem and number two, the SEC's structural problem. That's why I introduced the SEC Stabilization Act to fire Gary Gensler and restructure the SEC. Let's freaking go. Also in today's show, crypto analyst Michal van de Poppe predicts a very positive quarter four for 2023. I'll be sharing his targets in which he outlines. We're also going to be discussing the SEC's inaction on the spot Bitcoin ETF is a complete and utter disaster, according to the Winklevoss twins. And speaking of the Winklevoss twins, I'm also going to be sharing with you their $500 ,000 Bitcoin price prediction, which they say is coming soon. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market. All this plus so much more in today's show. Yo what's good crypto fam? This is first and foremost, a video show. So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at cryptonewsalerts .net. Again that's cryptonewsalerts .net. Welcome everyone. This is pod episode number 1415. I'm your host JV. Today is September 28, 2023 and Bitcoin is finally back above 27 ,000 as we're pumping right when I hit the live button. We're currently above 27 ,100 up over 300 % today and we continue climbing. Welcome everyone in the live chat. I gracefully appreciate y 'all. Yeah, who knows? Maybe we'll hit 28 ,000 by the time today's live stream is over. Let's see. And make sure to let me know where you're tuning in from in that live chat as I'll be giving everyone a shout out towards the end of the show. And with that being shared, fam, now let's dive into today's market watch. As you can see here, every major crypto back in the green. Bitcoin above 27 G's. We got Ether up three and a half percent trading at $1 ,655 BNB, XRP, Cardano, you name it. And checking out coinmarketcap .com, we're currently sitting above $1 .07 trillion with about $26 billion in volume in the past 24 hours, Bitcoin dominance at 49 .1 % and even the Ether dominance on the rise today at 18 .5 % and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, holy moly, compound up 20 % trading under 49 bucks, followed by Thor chain up 13 % trading at $1 .94, followed by Lido Dow up 8 % trading at $1 .59 and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past week, massive gains, which we love to see, especially after a pretty bearish altcoin season to say the least. We got CompLead in the pack here as well up 20 % and Rune up 13 .4 % and RLB up 13 % and checking out the crypto greed and fear index, we're currently rated a 46 in fear yesterday at 44 last week, a 47 and last month, a 39 in fear. So there you have it, fam. How many of you are currently bullish on Bitcoin and how many of you took advantage of the recent dip? If so, let me know. It's good to see we pump in once again. So hopefully those positions are now in the green. Now let's break down today's Bitcoin technical analysis, check out the charts and why specifically the market is pumping right now. Here we go. Let's get it. Bitcoin hit new weekly highs after the September 28th Wall Street open as markets awaited fresh cues from the US Federal Reserve. And here you can see in the Bitcoin one hour Campbell chart, pretty freaking bullish to say the least. Data from Cointelegraph and TradingView showed Bitcoin price strength staging a comeback, having delivered what some referred to as a classic pump and dump 24 hours prior during the performance. Bitcoin hit a high of 26 .8, which appeared on Bitstamp as a result of 2 % daily gains before Bitcoin retraced all of its progress, then a slower grind higher than took hold with the bulls edging closer to 27 ,000, which we finally just recaptured here a few moments ago. Now GDP for quarter two grew by 1 .7 % year on year below the projected 2%, while the PCE index data for August came in in line with the expectations, quoting analyst Keith Allen, bring on the volatility. Now meanwhile, data from Binance's order book uploaded by Allen showed little by way of resistance standing in the way of the spot price under the 27 ,000 mark. So as you can see, just more bullishness for the king crypto, the macro data constituted just the prelude of the day's main event. Meanwhile, Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve due to the comment later on today, Powell, whose recent words failed to deliver noticeable volatility to the crypto markets was due to speak at the Fed's conversation with the chairman, a teacher town hall meeting event in Washington DC at 4 p .m. Eastern today. Now commenting on the state of play on Bitcoin markets, popular trader Dan crypto trades was a little more optimistic around the strength of the day's move compared to yesterday, September 27th, quoting him here back to yesterday's highs, but with considerably less open interests. No doubt there is longs chase in here, but it is less frothy than it was yesterday. Would still like to see longs chill out and not get to a full retrace later on. So there you have it. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts. Meanwhile, quoting another analyst, right, capital Bitcoin is right back at the bull market support band cluster of moving averages, challenging to break out beyond them. Let's freaking go. Now, elsewhere in the day's analysis, he acknowledged that 29 ,000 could make a reappearance and still form a part of a broader come down for BTC. As he shares here, it's important to remember the Bitcoin could technically rally even as high as 29 ,000 to form a new lower high, which would be phase A and B. He explained alongside this chart. So there you have it. Let me know if you are currently more bullish or bearish on the King crypto and quoting the high priest of Bitcoin, Max Kaiser, Bitcoin is the North star guiding to the only safe haven asset in the world that protects against inflation confiscation and censorship preach. Now welcome to y 'all just joining us in today's podcast. As always, I appreciate everyone's daily support and means the world. And now let's discuss our next story of the day as Bitcoin continues to pump, shall we? We're going to be discussing the Ethereum futures ETFs, which can get approval. They say potentially as early as next week. So let's break this one down, shall we? Ether futures ETFs could start trading for the first time in the United States as early as next week. According to top Bloomberg analysts on September 28th, which is today, Bloomberg intelligence analyst, James Safart said in an ex post, it was looking like the sec is going to let a bunch of Ethereum futures ETFs go next week. Potentially. His comments were in response to fellow ETF analyst, Eric Balchunes, who said he was hearing that the U S SCC wanted to accelerate the launch of Ethereum future ETFs quitting him here. They want it off their plate before the shutdown, he said, adding that he's heard various filers updates on their documents by Friday afternoon so they can start trading as early as Tuesday next week. As outlined here on X. Now the U S S government's expected to shut down at 1201 a .m. Eastern on October 1st. If Congress fails to agree on or provide funding for the new fiscal year, which is expected to impact the country's financial regulators amongst federal agencies. Now neither specified their sources for the latest update on the long list of crypto ETFs in the queue. There are currently 15 ether futures ETFs from nine issuers currently awaiting approval. According to the analysts in a September 27th note, which is yesterday, companies proposing an Ethereum futures or hybrid ETF product include VanEck pro shares, grayscale volatility shares bitwise direction, as well as round Hill. The analysts gave ether future ETFs a 90 % chance of launching in October with Valkyrie's ether exposure on October 3rd, quoting them here. We expect pure Ethereum futures ETFs to start trading the following week, thanks to volatility shares actions. However, we don't expect all of them to launch. So do note that now as previously reported that ether futures ETFs may be approved in October causing the 11 % spike in ether prices and probably why the Ethereum dominance is up as it's been stagnant and down for quite some time. Ether prices are on the gain, currently just under $1 ,700 and we'll see how high we continue to pump, but do note crypto future products aren't as hotly as anticipated as their spot based alternatives. There are already been Bitcoin futures ETFs approved in the United States since 2021, which is a fact, which leads us to the million dollar question. Why have they approved a futures ETFs, but continue to deny and delay all the spot ETFs? We're going to be getting to that a little later as I share with you the highlights from Congress pressing the chairman of the SEC, Gary Gensler. It's going to get very interesting here in a little bit, but now let's dive a little deeper and discuss specifically the spot Bitcoin ETFs and what is happening and why they're being pushed back and the latest updates of where we're currently at. So here we go and welcome y 'all just tuning in. Make sure to smash that like fam. The US SEC has delayed deciding whether to approve or disapprove spot Ether ETFs. And like I said, we're going to be getting in October potentially get some approvals, but in separate notices filed September 27th, the SEC said it would designate a longer period on whether to approve or disapprove these proposed changes. The commission finds it inappropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised there within. The delay came the same day as the NASDAQ market filed the proposed rule change with the SEC for listing its mix ETH basically ETF, a combination of Ether holdings and futures contracts and also proposed rule changes with the New York Stock Exchange, ARCA for the Grayscale Ethereum Futures Trust, hashtag Bitcoin Futures ETF and the CBOE BXE exchange for the Franklin Bitcoin ETF were all filed. September 27th, that's right. If you're not familiar with Franklin Templeton, there are one and a half trillion dollar asset manager. They're also applying for an ETF. Now the SEC announced September 26th, it would designate a longer period to decide on these spot ETF applications. And as James Safart shares here, here's VanEx delay as expected. So another one, I mean, exactly what we were expecting from the SEC. Now in August, ARK investment manager, founder and CEO Kathy Wood speculated that should the SEC move forward with the spot ETF approvals, it would allow multiple listings simultaneously to avoid giving any single company an advantage over another in the market. Her remarks came before Grayscale Investments won a court battle with the SEC over its spot Bitcoin ETF app, which will likely be reviewed in which they're trying to turn their GBTC product into a spot ETF. So hopefully it happens. To date, the SEC has never approved the spot crypto ETF in the United States, but has allowed the listing of crypto linked futures ETFs and a leveraged Bitcoin futures ETF. Manipulation, fam. The next deadlines for the spot crypto ETF apps from firms, which include the largest asset manager in the world, BlackRock, Wisdom Tree, Invesco, Galaxy, Valkyrie, Bitwise and Fidelity are all scheduled for October. So we'll see how this is likely to play out considering October is now only three days away. Are we going to get some ETF approvals by then? Who knows? I think more than likely they're going to push it back again. However, Congress right now is pressing Gary Gensler to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF and ETPs immediately. So now let's break this down. If you missed Gensler, he was pressed by Congress just yesterday. And I know it's on everyone's mind. So let's break down some of the highlights from this recent hearing with Congress and the chairman of the SEC, Gary Gensler. Let's break it down, shall we? Here we go. Blame for kneecapping capital markets in the U .S. and slam for dodging questions around Bitcoin and Pokemon cards. SEC chair Gensler appears to have had one hell of a grilling from Congress this week. September 27th, the U .S. SEC chief again found himself in front of lawmakers in a scheduled hearing to discuss his agency's oversight of the markets. Here are some of the highlights. First and foremost, you are the Tonya Harding of security regulations. We should create a Gary Gensler diss track, right? One of the more colorful analogies came from U .S. Representative Andy Barr, who accused Gensler of kneecapping the U .S. capital markets with regulatory red tape. Barr referred to the old testimony from Gensler where Gensler argued that the U .S. is the largest, most sophisticated and innovative capital market in the world and that shouldn't have been taken for granted as even gold medalists must keep training. With all due respect, Mr. Chairman, if the U .S. capital markets are gold medalists, you are the Tonya Harding of securities regulations. Ouch. You are kneecapping the U .S. capital markets with an avalanche of red tape coming out of your commission. Preach. Barr is presumably referring to a scandal where U .S. ice skater Tonya Harding, I'm sure you all remember the story, I was a kid when this happened, and an assailant to attack her rival Nancy Kerrigan in the lead up to the 94 U .S. Figure Skating Championships and Winter Olympics. Kerrigan ended up not competing in the U .S. Championships and here is John Dickens who shared it here. Mr. Barr to Gensler, it's hilarious, you gotta watch these clips for yourself if you haven't seen them. So the next highlight, I wish the Biden administration would say, you are fired. That's right, shout out to Warren Davidson who also ripped into Gensler saying he hoped that the Biden administration would fire him. Powerful words. Davidson accused Gensler of pushing a woke political and social agenda and abusing his role as the SEC chairman. Preach. Massive shout out to the senators here doing their job. Damn good job. The U .S. Representative added that he hopes that the SEC Stabilization Act he introduced with fellow representative Tom Emmer could make it happen. Quoting him here, you're making the case for this bill, which is the SEC Stabilization Act. Every day you're acting as a chairman, he concluded, and Gensler wasn't even given a chance to respond. Now next highlight, Gensler reiterates Bitcoin isn't a security. That's right. When asked by U .S. House Committee Financial Services Chair Patrick McHenry whether Bitcoin is a security, Gensler eventually relented stating the Bitcoin didn't meet the Howie test. Quoting him here, it does not meet the Howie test, which is the law of the land. Then McHenry suggested Bitcoin must be a commodity, which Gensler avoided answering. Mr. No Clarity Gary, hence how he got the nickname, saying the test for that is outside the scope of U .S. security laws. Mr. Gensler, we're living in a clown world with this guy. Henry also suggested that Gensler try to choke off the digital asset ecosystem facts and refuse to be transparent with Congress about the SEC's connections with the FTX and former CEO SBF facts. Gensler also wasn't given the chance to respond to the claims made by McHenry. Next highlight, are Pokemon trading card securities? Gensler says it depends. Can't make this stuff up. Quoting Representative Richie Torres, I cross -examine SEC Chair Gensler about the term investment contract, which is key to determining his authority over crypto. Gensler struggled to answer basic questions like whether an investment contract requires a contract. His evasions are defeating and damning. Suppose I was to purchase Pokemon card. Would you constitute a security for this transaction? Gensler responded, well, I don't know the context before eventually concluding it isn't a security if you purchased it in a store. And then Torres asked if I were to purchase a tokenized Pokemon card on a digital exchange via the blockchain. Is that then a transaction? And then Mr. No Clarity Gary said, I'd have to know more because I don't know anything. Yeah, you can't make this stuff up. Gensler then explained to it when it's investing the public can anticipate profits based upon the efforts of others. Then the core of the Howie test, which it is, Torres called Gensler's evasions as damning to say the least. And the next highlight, a sign of defiance. Meanwhile, amongst the back and forth cross examinations between Gensler and representatives, the eagle eyed observers noticed a Coinbase stand with crypto logo behind the SEC chairman. Isn't that interesting? The Coinbase led initiative is a 14 month long campaign that launched back in August aiming to push crypto legislation in the United States. Coinbase also ran a stand with crypto day, which took place in Washington, D .C. September 27th to advocate for better cryptocurrency innovation and policy. So again, shout out to Warren Davidson, Tom Emmer, all the senators for holding Gary Gensler accountable. Hopefully they do something about it. What's your thoughts, fam? Do you think Gary is likely to listen to them and follow their instructions and approve a Bitcoin ETF immediately? Or do you think he'll continue kicking the can down the road as long as possible until he leaves his position as the chairman of the SEC? Let me know your honest thoughts in the comments right down below. Now let's break down the latest prediction coming from crypto analyst Michael Vanay Pop for some price actions for Bitcoin for the fourth quarter, which we are currently in for 2023. Then we'll break down the latest from the Winklevoss twins and their five hundred thousand dollar Bitcoin price action as the price action of Bitcoin continues to pump, baby. Let's go. Here we go. Let's break this baby down. Crypto trader Michael Vanay Pop is expressing bullish sentiment on Bitcoin in the coming months. Despite the recent struggles in a new video, he says that Bitcoin is on the cusp of reaching levels that offer accumulation opportunities per inch. According to the analyst, the trader Bitcoin could subsequently start an uptrend. Ultimately, Bitcoin is into an area of consolidation here, which makes it very likely we're going to have to retest here at twenty five, six and twenty five eight. If we are having a recess in that region, then there is this zone where I want to start buying my entries because of the recess, which is the ultimate recess. And if we're not going to get that, the flip to twenty six thousand five hundred, that is going to be the area where I think I want to activate my positions as well. And then we can start targeting twenty eight thousand. And then we can also start targeting the higher numbers, thirty thousand dollars plus or even more in the projection of quarter four. That is going to be very positive overall. Let me know if you agree that we'll have an overall positive quarter as we about to enter October. Let's go. Vanay Pop also says Bitcoin's current price action is similar to what was witnessed in the prior pre halving year, quitting him again. As long as we stay above the 200 week exponential moving average, we most likely are going to continue to the upside. And it starts to be very comparable to the period that we witnessed in 2015 and 2016. In this case, we needed it, but we started to consolidate and start to trend up afterwards. It is very likely to this period to slowly but surely the price starts to crawl up. And then we are going to have a case of the upside in the markets overall. And to watch this video analysis, the analyst did check the show notes below the video in the description. It's entitled Bitcoin price. I am looking to buy. So there you have it. And let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts and are you currently bullish on the King crypto or do you think we're going to dip and test the lower levels? Let me know your honest thoughts, fam. And now let's break down our next story of the day. And the Winklevoss twins on the spot, Bitcoin ETF continuously being basically denied and kicked back and pushed back for the past decade. And then we're going to dive into their half a million dollar Bitcoin price prediction and why they're so confident that the Bitcoin price is going to hit their big target. So here we go. Let's discuss them with the SEC first. This was a story which was, let's see when their tweet was actually, let's scroll down. This is Cameron Winklevoss. This was actually on July 1st, it got 1 .1 million views. Now let me read the tweet. Today marks 10 years since Tyler and I filed for the first spot Bitcoin ETF. That's right. Over a decade ago, the SEC governor's refusal to approve these products for a decade has been a complete and utter disaster for US investors and demonstrates how the SEC is a failed regulator. Here's why. They protected investors from the best performing asset of the last decade. They pushed investors into toxic products like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, GBTC, which trades at a massive discount to NAV and charges astronomical fees. They pushed spot Bitcoin activity offshore to unlicensed and unregulated venues. They pushed investors into the arms of FTX, subjecting them to one of the largest financial frauds in modern history. Preach. Maybe the SEC will reflect on its dismal record and instead of overstepping a statutory power and trying to act like a gatekeeper of economic life, it'll focus on fulfilling its mandate of investor protection, fostering fair and orderly markets and facilitating capital formation. This would have led to much better outcomes for US investors. Preach. In the meantime, best of luck to all those fighting the good fight to bring the US spot Bitcoin ETFs to life onwards. So much respect. I mean, 10 years of denying this ETF. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. I think they shared perfectly some of the reasoning. It's to hurt the investors and keep you poor and keep you wrecked and keep you desolate and dependent upon a broken government that threw us overboard so frickin long ago. So much respect to the Winklevoss twins. If you didn't know, they're the owners of the Gemini exchange and they were the very first ever to submit the spot Bitcoin ETF app to the SEC over a decade ago. And obviously they're sick and tired of Gary Gensler, his no clarity and his shenanigans. Just like the rest of us, it's time to fire Gensler. If you think Gensler should be investigated and potentially fired, let me know in the comments right down below and I'll be reading your comments out loud here in a little bit. Now for our breaking story of the day, let's discuss the Winklevoss twins and their case for a $500 ,000 Bitcoin price, which they believe is coming soon. So let's break this down, shall we? And welcome to y 'all just joining us in the live chat. Much love and much respect. So here we go. Winklevoss twins' prediction, Bitcoin will soon hit $500 ,000 per coin. And why? And again, shout out to Tyler and Cameron. Let's get, we already know their background, early Bitcoin investors, OGs, early investors as well with Facebook. Some claim that they're the real creators of Facebook and Zuckerberg stole it. But nonetheless, in a recent interview with the National News, the twins explained they remain convinced of the future of crypto. The main reason is the revolutionary and technical properties as well as the potential of Bitcoin to act as a store of value similar to gold. And in addition, crypto has many other advantages, mainly through programmability. Hence, the Winklevoss brothers believe that Bitcoin could even replace the precious metal. In the long term, Tyler Winklevoss shared the following. If you look at the properties that make gold valuable, Bitcoin matches each attribute or does better. The gold disruption story of Bitcoin is super powerful. We believe in it. Tyler Winklevoss explained his reasoning for the $500 ,000 Bitcoin price action, quitting him here. If you do the math, 21 million in the supply of Bitcoin, the market cap of gold, let's say it's 10 trillion, maybe it's 11 trillion, somewhere in that ballpark, that puts one Bitcoin if it disrupts gold and gets that market cap at $500 ,000 per coin. The two brothers did not want to give specific investment tips. However, Cameron reveals the strategy that they use, which is generally the simplest, which is simply HODL. Hold on for dear life, quitting him here. Generally speaking, if you subscribe to Bitcoin being a store of value type investment, then that strategy is HODL. The same way you would HODL gold is you buy and HODL long term investments. So according to the Winklevoss twins predicting the Bitcoin price will hit $500 ,000, they say predictions are difficult, but they believe that Bitcoin will hit the milestone within a decade. And when they were more recently interviewed and asked, where do you see Bitcoin in five years time? Here's what Cameron Winklevoss responded. We usually take a decade view on it. When we wrote a piece on the value that predicted it being $500 ,000 Bitcoin, we said within the decade. And I believe they wrote that in 2020. So they're basically saying by the year 2030, they're anticipating a $500 ,000 plus Bitcoin price with Bitcoin overtaking that of gold as far as the market cap. Now is that in three years from now or nine years? The timing part is hard, but I think the Bitcoin created $1 trillion worth of value in under a decade. That is fact. I believe back in November of 2021, Bitcoin's market cap surpassed a trillion dollar milestone and the total crypto market cap surpassed $3 trillion. But as of today, we're closer to a $500 billion Bitcoin market cap with the entire crypto market cap down to a trillion. Now, it also spawned many huge productions such as Ethereum and the entire asset class. He continues. If you look at the value increases in Bitcoin, it is this punctuated equilibrium where it is steady, steady, steady, and then boom, it reaches a new price level. This is the new normal. So it can happen very quickly. So there you have it, fam. Ultimately saying when Bitcoin takes off, it explodes quick and vast. And especially considering that two of the most bullish catalysts in Bitcoin history were on the cusp of. Six months away from a Bitcoin halving, we all know the Bitcoin cycles every four years, it drives the Bitcoin price up as it increases the scarcity as well as increase demand, basic stock to flow, numbers must go up. And we also have the approval of a Bitcoin ETF likely to take place in 2024, especially with Congress on Gensler's. But we also have the ETF experts such as Eric Balchunes given a 95 % chance probability that a spot Bitcoin ETF likely get approved in 2024. Those two catalysts will absolutely make Bitcoin rip to new all time highs entering price discovery mode like we have never seen before. So how high do you think the Bitcoin price will likely climb by the time of this next halving? Roughly six months out, scheduled to take place sometime in April of next year.

Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman -Fried had his bail revoked, and he got sent back to jail last week. What appears to have tipped things over the edge was that he leaked parts of Caroline Ellison's diaries to the New York Times. And Judge Lewis Kaplan said when he revoked the bail that he believed SBF had likely intended to get two witnesses to back off and not cooperate as fully with the government, Caroline Ellison being one of them. Do you agree with the judge's decision on this, and do you agree that those were likely Sam's intentions? Well, I think the defense has said those weren't Sam's intentions, and obviously the government took a different view and the judge agreed with the government. Judges do take that very seriously. Usually a condition of release for any defendant is you not contact any of the other witnesses in the case, and that you'd not try to do things. And just a general precept of that is you not try to do anything that would intimidate them from coming forward and testifying, especially when they've been identified. And there you're referring to how we contacted the former general counsel via text message, kind of implying that you should try to be on the same team. Is that what you're referring to? Well, I think that can be one thing, contacting somebody directly. There may be reasons you would contact someone, though. For example, you may still have business dealings or other things. Sometimes you will clear that through your lawyer or even through the court and have a carve out. That wasn't done from what I know in this case. And as for the Karen Ellison situation, I mean, what's been reported is he had a meeting with a New York Times reporter at his house or his parents' house and provided his diary to the reporter. And the story came out and it was somewhat salacious. And I think the judge and the government felt that that was a way to try to get her to back off from wanting to testify, bullying truthfully at this trial. She is an expected witness, one of the government's key witnesses, from what we know. And I think there have been a number of other incidents that had gotten the court's attention about Sam when he's been out. And so I don't think people were surprised that he was detained. I think most people I've talked to were surprised he wasn't detained from the start. And so now that he's detained, though, that really does change a lot of the dynamics or preparation for trial. And it does make it much tougher on the defense to prepare for trial. And just a quick point. I think at the time of his extradition from the Bahamas, there was speculation that the reason he was released on bail was that he had made it a condition of his extradition. Do you think that theory holds water? Oh, yeah, it's very possible. A lot of times when a client is being extradited, if they agree to waive extradition, which is what happened here. So he stopped his fight in the Bahamas and said, I will come back. That often is something that the defense will try to negotiate with the government because it is important for a defense lawyer to have full access to their client and just having your client available to answer the phone, meet with you, respond to emails, look at all the discovery. It's just a thousand times easier when they're out and at a residence or somewhere that you can quickly do that with them. Now, Sam is in detention. He's in jail and he was much more limited access. So it's just a much harder preparation for trial, much harder for the defense to work with their client. And his side has appealed his detention. How likely do you think it is that they'll prevail? I don't think it's likely. I think it's a tough road for them. I understand why they would appeal and they filed it. We haven't seen the briefings yet, so maybe there are arguments I'm not aware of. Judge Kaplan is a very well respected member of the bench here in the Southern District of New York, a very seasoned judge. I haven't read the transcript of that hearing, but I'm sure he documented his reasons very well and is given a lot of discretion under the rules. So I think it's unlikely that it would be changed. Again, judges are given a lot of discretion in this area of the law. So walk me through now what it is like when the defendant's side is preparing for trial under conditions similar to what he had at his parents' home under bail versus what it will look like now that he's in Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Sure. So when someone's out, I mean, they may be restricted in terms of where they can go otherwise, but they're always given access to their lawyers. That's one of the almost always a carve out is that they can go to meet with their lawyer. They can get on the phone with their lawyer. Usually you're given the ability to email with your lawyer, sometimes not hanging on the crime or the alleged crime. And so that depends, but it's just like anything else. You can pick up the phone and call your client and talk through an issue or you can invite your client in, or you can go meet with your client and look at documents together. And it's just, there's no set times or hours you can do that. Once someone's been detained, those facilities have lots of other people there. They have their rules about when you can come, they have lengths of stay, you can stay. In entry, you could probably show up in the morning and stay a long time, especially in the lead up to trial, but you're bringing documents in and out. Your client is now detained. Sometimes there is a lockdown at the facility. No one can get in or get out. Sometimes, you know, there's some other incident that makes it hard to see your client. And so it's just a much more restricted interaction and it makes things a lot more difficult. You can't just do things on the fly. You have to really sort of plan more ahead. Again, it's not impossible. Many people are detained and prepared for trial with their lawyers and it's affected, but it just is a hurdle that defense lawyers really don't like to have. They don't have to, of course. And you know, it affects the client, it affects the defendant. I mean, he is now getting, he had some, he was detained a little bit in the Bahamas for a short period of time. Now he's going to be detained leading up to trial. A lot of prosecutors view that as a favorable thing. A lot of times, I think it's sometimes more likely that the defendant will choose to plead guilty once they've been detained for a number of reasons. So it's just overall, it's an advantage to the government and a disadvantage to the defense when someone is detained. And just a quick question. Earlier when you said that the defense lawyers will have to bring documents in and out, do you mean that they can't just go over things on a laptop together, but they have to literally print out physical documents and bring those in? You can get permission to bring a laptop in. It has to be usually a laptop that just has those documents on them. And so it's just more cumbersome overall. And the client, the defendant can keep documents in their cell. They are usually given a box and it's marked attorney -client approach or something like that. It depends on the jail. So there is a way to do things. And for them to hold documents or view them on their own, it's just more cumbersome. You know, they can't just come to your office and go work in a conference room and have lots of boxes of documents around them and be shuffling through them and looking through them with you. You know, these rooms typically where you meet them are small, very small conference rooms, not comfortable. The lighting isn't great. You know, this is a jail, right? It's not designed for comfort or for ease of meetings. The jails take their mission seriously in my experience of giving the lawyers access. You get more access than just the, his parents will get to him. Again, it is a burden and it wouldn't surprise me. I'm not saying this will happen, but it wouldn't surprise me if the offense asks for continuance of the trial date based on this. It may be that Sam does not want a continuance because he's there and he wants to get the trial as soon as possible, but the additional burden may mean there is a request for a continuance. Which means a delay in the start date of the trial? Yes, possible. This will lead to a request for that. The signs do not point to that right now, to be clear, but that is possible. And you also said that in this type of situation, the defendant is more likely to plead guilty. What do you think the odds are of that? Sometimes the defendant is more likely to plead guilty. But yes, I think, I think in this case, the odds are not high. I mean, this case has been litigated for months now. The charges are serious and extensive. There's been no indication that there are plea discussions. Every side has been filing motions, doing the things you would do as if you're really preparing for trial, not engaging in plea discussions. I'm confident just because I know how the process works. In any case, there is at least some back and forth about the possibility of a plea, whether the defense asks about it or the government just says, hey, if your guy's interested, here's what it would look like. So that probably happened at some point. But whether there's ongoing discussions, I don't know. It's just in my experience, some defendants, some clients, when they're open in prison, they're written tain. They really want or are more interested in pleading. Part of that is because the jails typically are much, you're in a mixed population with lots of other defendants, both people accused of violent crimes and nonviolent crimes. Whereas if you're a white -collar defendant and you plead guilty, oftentimes you'll get sent to a camp, which is a much more humane facility, much more comfortable, not saying it's comfortable, but more comfortable. And you're usually only in with non -violently accused defendants. So you're not with like violent drug dealers, for example, or if you're at a camp, typically. So your fellow prisoners are more like you if you're a white -collar defendant. And so usually people, when they're out, they're not dealing with that sort of situation. Sam was at his parents' home, which is presumably a comfortable, nice house in the Bay Area. Now he's sharing a prison cell or maybe by himself because he's a high -profile defendant, but he's in an uncomfortable prison cell. In a moment, we're going to talk about why it is that Sam didn't just plead guilty. But first, a quick word from the sponsors who make this show possible.

And as you mentioned, there are, like, numerous reasons why somebody in his position might do that. But why do you think he hasn't? You know, I'd be guessing like anybody, of course. I think there's a number of factors probably at play. One is, I suspect that the prosecutors, to the extent they offered a plea offering, they're not required to, to be clear. There's no obligation to engage in plea discussions. There's no legal requirement that there be a plea offered. Sam could always walk in any day and plead guilty to any of the charges. He's obviously pled not guilty. But if the prosecutors have made an offer, and I suspect they have, it's probably for extensive prison time. I would guess 25, 30 years or more, you know, they're seeking if he's going to plead based on the allegations of the loss here, which are, you know, billions in the scope of the number of victims, alleged victims and everything. So, victims alleging the indictment. I suspect for whatever reason, you know, based on his own counsel with his lawyers and probably with his parents, he is not willing to consider that at this time. Now, again, his mind could change at any point, and he may ultimately choose to plead. But I think the moment for him to plead and get the most credit for it was early on, at that point, he could have pleaded. He could have cooperated in a sense with the receiver and done lots of things like, they would love to pick his brain and figure out what happened here and what all these accounts mean and everything, right? You can imagine, right? And so, the three who did, we understand are cooperating and they will get credit for that. Presumably, we have a judge who will sentence them, but he's chosen not to. So, you know, I guess if you watch his media interviews, they'll lead up to the charges. I don't think it's that surprising that he hasn't chosen to plead, because the way he talked about what happened, the way he's presented himself publicly, both before his arrest and since his arrest, does not give any indication that this person is someone who is inclined to plead guilty. Both sides filed motions in limine on Monday. Can you explain what that means and then also give an overview of what each side said? Sure. So, there's really two sets of motions typically in federal court in a criminal case. One set of motions is early on in the case where a defense might move to dismiss a case or suppress evidence. Call those substantive motions in a sense, and that happened here, right? The defense moved to dismiss the charges, the judge denied it. And that's over. Now, you're at the next phase of the case where you're getting ready for trial. In a trial, there's obviously a lot of things happening. Witnesses get up to testify, exhibits are being put into evidence. And so, both sides have sort of started to think about the trial, what it would look like, and they are telling the judge through their motions, hey, the other side shouldn't be allowed to make these arguments or introduce this evidence, or we want to make these arguments and introduce this evidence and you should let us do that. And they were looking at the rules of evidence typically, which govern that. And so, judges want this, they want these issues fleshed out before the trial started so that they get a sense of what the issues are and if possible, they rule on them because it allows a trial to proceed in the orderly of fashion as possible. And the way I think about it is like, if you look at a trial, it's not a perfect analogy, but it's like a play or a show, right? You want to know like kind of the framework of like, okay, how many characters are there and what are the props, right? And that's kind of what this is. Who can get up on stage and talk and what props can they use? And you want to know that before you start to play. You don't want it free for all when the play starts where everyone's just grabbing props in the back, trying to put them on the stage. And the stage manager, in this case, the judge, or the director, will be like, no, that shouldn't be out there. So, not the best analogy, but I think that sort of is what's happening here. One thing to keep in mind is judges often reserve rules. So, it's very often that you'll file motions and eliminate, and the judge will, with all of them or most of them, say, okay, I hear your issue, but let's see what happens at trial. Like, let's see if that really happens. Let's see what the government says, or let's see what the defense really does. Like, we need to see it play out a little bit. It's premature. That's a very common judge response to motions in the way. Now, some issues they will want to decide in advance. There might be some exhibits or some witnesses that are so provocative or incendiary that if even just allow it to come into play, would just, you know, cause a lot of problems later if they, if the prosecutor, like, mentioned it in their opening argument and said, we're going to introduce this evidence. And then later the judge excluded it. That could be a real issue, both for the government, maybe for the jury, and creating an appellate issue. So, judges do want to see this. They filed, both sides filed extensive motions, not surprisingly in this case. It's a broad case with a lot of evidence. So, both sides have filed those. They filed those earlier this week, the same day the latest indictment was filed. And the judge will then, with his clerks, review those motions, usually set up a hearing date and make decisions. I suspect some will be deferred, some will be decided on. Some of the ones that I noticed the government said were, hey, these are based on charges that have been removed from this particular trial, but we want to submit these types of evidence that are related to those anyway. They were around, like, political donations, straw donors, like foreign bribery. Do you think that will be allowed? I think it depends. I think that was one the judge made punt on a little bit. So, I think what the government did because of what happened in the Bahamas is we know they removed some of the charges, right? They dropped some of them. But now, in their latest indictment, they've angled with like, well, part of the motive or the reason he did this is so they have this money so he can do these things. So, motive in why someone committed, why you think someone committed a crime, is you're allowed to put into evidences across here, right? You needed the money to finance your high lifestyle. You need the money for whatever reason, or you need it to do this for whatever. So, motive is always permitted to come into play. The scope of how much motive you can get into and how much you can tie it back to the actual alleged offenses is in question here. I suspect the judge will let that be. He may limit it. He doesn't want what we call a trial within a trial, right? So, he's one of the trial to focus on the charged counts, not on counts that aren't charged. But typically, putting in motive is allowed, and I suspect he will permit that to come up. Maybe not to the full extent the government wants, but to some extent. And SBS lawyers also submitted their side, and they said that the prosecutors had repeatedly failed to meet the deadlines for turning over evidence to the defense. And as an example, they said that three days prior, the prosecutors had produced nearly 750 ,000 pages of Slack messages from Gary Wang's laptop and basically requested that the government not be allowed to use evidence produced to the defense after July 1st. What do you think is the likelihood that those requests will be granted? I don't think they'll be granted. That's a hard one for the judge to grant. There's two reasons why that. One is the judge could say, if you need more time, I'll give you more time for the trial, right? Okay, so there's an October date that you wanted, but you know what? We can pick a different date later on and give you more time. So, that's a typical response to that kind of thing. Again, if the government produced it like the day before trial or the night before trial or specific order on a specific date that wasn't meant, the judge might be more harsh on that. But we're talking about July and an October trial date. I don't think the judge will grant that motion. I think that's a defense preserving in the appellate issue or maybe keeping its options open for asking for continuance, which they probably are keeping in mind more than ever now that SAM has been detained pretrial. And so, I can understand why they might file that motion. I can see the strategic reasons to do it, but I think it's unlikely that the judge will grant that motion. And so, what can we expect these next several weeks before the case goes to trial? And what are you watching out for, whether it be something before the trial or at the start of the trial? Both sides are going to be working furiously. I mean, this is the go time for the trial. I mean, the government is going to be focused on getting its exhibits in order, meeting with its witnesses and preparing them to testify. Because remember, the government, the burden is on them. They go first. The defense doesn't have to call anybody. So, they're going to be meeting with their witnesses and they're going to have a number of witnesses. They're going to be going through the exhibits and there's a lot of documents to go through. They're going to be calling out what they think are the key documents. They're going to be coming up with a framework for their case in terms of the order of the witnesses. They're going to call and how. They're going to be preparing their opening statement. And they're going to even probably start thinking pretty soon about the closing statement. Because even though you think like, well, you wait to start your close until the trial is almost over, in this kind of case, you're going to need to start thinking about how it all fits together, like the entire play right now, right? So, if you go back to my analogy, you can't just think about the first act and second act and forget about the third act. So, I think they're very busy doing all that. They're probably still looking through and discovering things too. Doesn't mean they won't supersede the indictment again or maybe change a little bit like their focus, right? They're still learning about their case. This case has moved on very quickly for a big case, a multi -billion dollar alleged fraud here. You know, this has moved on very quickly. The defense is also equally busy. So, I'm sure they are doing this and I'm sure they do feel jammed up with getting stuff at the end. They're looking through all these documents too, all this data. They're working with their witnesses. They might have some witnesses they want to call. Both sides will likely call experts. In this case, I'm sure the government will call many experts, at least one or two. The defense may have some rebuttal experts or experts they want to call. Those experts, I think in this case, would focus on how cryptocurrency works, how blockchains work, and how maybe some of the financial mechanisms work here because they are complex. You need someone to distill it down and explain it to analyze the financial records. The defense is probably doing that too. In addition, you know, they're meeting with their client. They're coming up with their theory. They're doing their own investigation. They may be interviewing their own witnesses. So, both sides, I mean, it's a ways off October, but it's kind of a sprint at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if they're working pretty close to seven -day weeks right now and lead up to October. Because the last, you know, for every week of trial, let's say, you usually need at least two weeks of prep. And so, that's how you have to backload. This, you know, multi -week trial, they're going to be prepping starting many, many weeks more in advance. And if you were to guess how many weeks the trial will take, how long would you expect it to last? Based on the more slimmed -down indictment, I would say several weeks. Definitely, obviously, more than a week. It will take a while to select a jury here. You know, this is a complex case in the sense of, you know, it's sprawling. And I would expect several weeks. A lot is going to hinge on whether Sam testifies, because if he testifies, that's going to be probably several days, two, and they might have their own experts. So, it wouldn't surprise me if this trial was, you know, two to three weeks. I don't know what the estimates they've given now. They might have to give some new estimates based on the new indictment. That's something the judge will be keen to know, because when they call the jury, and they're going to have a large jury pool here, they'll probably do a questionnaire. They're going to need to know the people are available for those periods of times. Most cases don't last weeks elites, right? And on this high profile, this is, you know, setting aside the Trump case, which is consuming all the oxygen in the room. This is one of the most high profile criminal trials happening. Yeah, well, I guess we'll have to see how it all goes down. Thank you so much, Brian, for explaining it all on Unchained.

"July 1st, recreational marijuana sales become legal in Maryland and still those who have a medical marijuana card are encouraged to hang on to that. Adults 21 and up won't need a medical card to buy marijuana from licensed dispensaries in Maryland anymore, but there are several benefits to continuing to be on the medical cannabis registry. For one it's less expensive if you have a medical card. Medical cannabis purchases are not subject to the 9 % tax that adult purchases are. That's Karen O 'Keefe with Marijuana Policy Project, a nonprofit that works to reform cannabis laws. She says another benefit is that dispensaries will be required to prioritize medical marijuana patients in the event of product shortages or long lines. Nick Inelli, WTOP News.

South Carolina moves closer to abortion ban, a Southern trend that puts pressure on Virginia
"Another southern state appears ready to pass tighter new restrictions on abortion access, joining about a dozen other localities in the south. The South Carolina House of Representatives just passed a near ban on abortion access after 6 weeks before many women even know they're pregnant, and the state Senate will likely take a vote next week. It was one of the few places left in the south for those seeking abortions. With North Carolina lawmakers this week, overriding the governor's veto of their 12 week ban, which will now take effect July 1st. Doctor Erika pettigrew is disappointed. Really devastating to have a patient in front of you who needs something that you could clearly give, but the lawmakers tell you that you can't. She says she's been helping out of state women get abortion care and now she'll be helping her own patients to other states. The moral injury to physicians and to other medical professionals just can't be underestimated. Virginia remains an outlier in the south, where women still have unrestricted abortion access. The new limits follow the Supreme Court last year overturning roe versus wade. I'm Jackie Quinn

The Republican controlled Candace legislature on Wednesday overrode democratic governor Laura Kelly's veto of legislation that would require doctors to preserve the health of newborns delivered during an abortion procedure, the newborn would have to be transported to a hospital and violating the law would be a felony. The new measure may be largely symbolic because of how Candice regulates abortion, but abortion rights advocates say it's designed to sow confusion and fear so that doctors don't want to provide abortion care and women are afraid to seek it.

morning Update us on the fallout from the ECB We saw a Euro area bond market sell off yesterday Good morning I think markets were expecting the headline that rates that 25 basis point hike in June and maybe something bigger than ever That was completely like what markets expected But what markets were also looking for was some kind of idea of what these people would do about fragmentation risk That is kind of the part we saw yesterday if they were the spreads between Germany and Italy quite a lot And I'd say the question I wasn't that seems to be that concerned about what you said we'll talk about in July which kind of at 7 weeks away So kind of gives markets a bit of room to kind of test what the limit is because if there needs to be kind of not going to be there till July then they play through to sell off So let's see how progress is over the next week or two But if it starts getting a bit more hairy than a budget to be more common from the ECB 100 day plan in place or not to actually contract here it doesn't seem much there is more than that to make a market slightly more nervous Okay the next big test for markets will be the latest CPI data out of the United.

Steve's You're killing me and much more right now we're gonna Jumped to the This is kind of tied in with the auto no fault, and the change in the laws and home care agencies are are struggling. Because of a cap of 55% cap on care to injured drivers and there are efforts to try to get that cab lifted. Margaret Krusee is the executive vice president for Hope. Network. Neuro Rehabilitation. Hello, Margaret. Hello. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, tell, tell our audience quickly, You know, sort of what the situation is, if they've never heard about this Sure. So there was AH lot of changes made to our auto no fault law about two years ago, and you know, a lot of those changes were good. But there are some pieces that come into play this coming July July 1st to be exact, and they're going to really impact the people that need home care, residential care and assistant living. Type services. The beast schedules There's actually two and one of them is just fine. It's 200% Medicare fee schedule. And so there's no complaints really about that. But the other one isn't Is that, really? Even if he schedule it's a feat discount. So what's gonna happen is those providers that don't fit under Medicare, which is like home care and residential care, and the supported living services that people that are catastrophically injured might need will be paid 45% of whatever they happen to be charging back in 2019. And those that sort of discount on providers that were already charging ethical rates where they just had a small margin is gonna put him out of business. And so those individuals are gonna lose their care providers. Why did they do that? You know, I Yeah, I actually think that there was some mis understanding about what Medicare covered. And so there was a thinking that Medicare covered just about everything you know. Medicare is a huge system. And there's all these codes and these services must be covered under that, too. But the reality is Medicare is very specific. That doesn't cover custodial care and custodial care is the kind of care of helping someone who needs help eating. Or needs help going to the restroom or getting dressed all these things that someone would say a spinal cord injury needs every single day that is not covered by Medicare. So Medicare doesn't have a great set for that care. And so all that cares, falling under a 45% cut, and I think they the legislators were Shown maybe an example or two of the high priced out liar. And ironically, that out liar probably survived this cut. But all the ethical providers can't take a 45% cut and it turns out most of providers in Michigan were providing care Atta at unethical, their small margin, you know, less than 10% likely, and so when you take 45% of their revenue away Out of business. Yeah. What? Provide What business in any sort could survive a 45% cut in their revenue And and the people that you describe. These are the people who need the help the most Anyone who has a relative who has dementia, who has, uh, Alzheimer's, who has difficulty because of a spinal cord injury, who has Gosh, I think of how many different illnesses there are that that require 24 hour care and on this is on top of the fact that they changed the rules about people in a family being able to put in. You know that That's what their job is. Their job is to basically take care of their family member. They changed that as well. So they're harming the people who need who have so few alternatives? This isn't about. Well, if you can't get it there, just go get it someplace else. When when these places go out of business. Who take care of our neediest citizens. There is no alternative. These people are just going to be left alone. That's where we way have no idea where they will get care. Because so many of the providers won't be able to provide care starting July 1st. So we really have a avoidable, totally avoidable crisis of care. Um, we're asking the Legislature to Make a small change. There's there's house. Still 44 86 Senate Bill 3 14, and what those do is actually provide a feed cap instead of a discount. They provide speak cap that mimics the 200% of Medicare. So we've actually provided the solution They were looking for in the first place in these bills, and it would avoid all these providers going out of business, and, more importantly, it would make sure there's access to care for these people. Were promised care under a policy that they bought hoped never need and were unfortunate enough to have that terrible accident and should have access to care. Absolutely.
