Understanding the "CME Gap".
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange or @CMEGroup is the largest regulated futures exchange in the world and trades Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP. The exchange is open NY stock market times. Currently, Bitcoin futures on CME trade Sunday through Friday, from 6 p.m. to 6 p.m. EST daily. It has recently announced it will begin trading 24/7 365 but no official date has been set.
Until then, when the market closes on Friday and reopens on Sunday, a "gap" is created in the price because Bitcoin futures continue trading on offshore unregulated exchanges like #Binance and now on semi- regulated exchanges like #Coinbase. So over the weekend the price moves.
Typically, but not always, the @CMEGroup gap will be filled. Meaning the price will be manipulated back to cover the gap.
Yesterday the manipulators got to $115300 which is the top of the gap (see below), but the buying pressure was too strong and they could not fill the gap.
There is a non zero probability they will try to fill this gap again to $114300 but the defense of this gap last night was impressively bullish.
This is Latvia:
- #2 globally for tax competitiveness
- Cheapest EU Golden Visa program available
- Lower crime index than UK, France, and USA
Once under Soviet rule, it's now becoming a potential EU hidden gem.
Here are 7 reasons why Latvia should be on your radar:
This is a land grab. This is a gold rush.
You don't have to participate... but your descendants will wish you had.
This is the second wave of the Digital Revolution - the digitization of value to complement the Internet's digitization of information.
It wasn't possible to own a slice of the Internet itself, but it is possible with Bitcoin, the internet of value.
But what's crucial to understand about this protocol of digital value is...
There will only ever be 21M #Bitcoin.
@Eric_BIGfund recently told me that this fact was what grabbed Saylor's attention after years of dismissing Bitcoin. Here's why...
There are 8B people on the planet. That means that there's only ~0.0025 BTC per person.
But most of it is already accounted for. Only 5.4% remains to be mined (~1.1M BTC). And of the already circulating supply, probably ~16M is held by believers with no intention to sell between here and $1M/BTC.
That means ~5M BTC is still up for grabs.
And yet, only ~0.2% of the world's $1000T of capital has shifted into Bitcoin.
That means that 1% of the world has a 20% allocation to Bitcoin... but the remaining 99% of the world still has a 0% allocation.
1% of the world fighting over ~16M BTC took us from $0/BTC to $100k/BTC.
How high will the price go as the remaining 99% of the world fights over 1/3 as much available Bitcoin? If it's only linear, that would mean ~300x higher.
Meanwhile, Saylor's bullish prediction for 20 years from now is $49M/BTC, which would be a ~500x from today.
It feels like you're late to Bitcoin. But this is a bigger game playing out than most realize, and we are much earlier than casual observers know.
If you're reading this, you're here on the frontier early. And you have a chance to stake a claim before 99% of the world shows up.
This is a land grab. This is the digital gold rush. Make your descendants proud.
Sui has been slaying it and Basecamp is showing it
Here are some shocking stats that show why not to fade SUI:
🔹 DeFi Dominance

🧵 At a fundamental level, Ethereum is in a dire situation:
1. Demand for its block space is at an all-time low
2. L2s cannibalize ETH users and security
3. EVM wallets now offer non-ETH gas options
4. Largest DEX in crypto is not on ETH
5. Vitalik pivots from EVM to RISC-V
🚨JUST IN: MICROSTRATEGY FILING SAYS THEY MAY BE FORCED TO SELL BITCOIN BELOW THEIR COST BASIS TO SERVICE THEIR DEBT IN THE EVENT OF A CONTINUED MARKET DOWN TURN
It's very clear what's happening:
President Trump now believes "short term pain" is his ONLY option to lower inflation and refinance $9+ trillion of US debt.
We have seen over -$5 TRILLION erased from US stocks with the goal of LOWERING rates.
Will it work?

ECB President Christine Lagarde said it’s improbable that any European Union country will choose to add Bitcoin to its monetary reserves https://t.co/qnA1AEzotv
🚨 CENTRAL BANKS START BUYING BITCOIN IT CAN ONLY BE THE BEGINNING OF A VERY QUICK AND SOON TO END:
SUPER CYCLE! (BTC TO MILLIONS)
IF THE DEMAND IS INFINITE BY DEFAULT (PRINTING PRESS OF CENTRAL BANK) & THE SUPPLY OS ABSOLUTELY SCARCE (BITCOIN), THEN THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS:
MONETARY ENERGY FLOWS NATURALLY FROM FIAT INTO BITCOIN & SUCKS UP EVENTUALLY ALL MONETARY ENERGY IN FIAT!!!
THIS WILL BE THE LAST STAGE OF ROBBERY & RE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH FROM THE LOWER CLASS TO THE RICH!
EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WILL BE STANDING ON THE SIDELINES FOREVER!!!!
BUY BITCOIN & DO NOT SELL!
YES, THERE WILL BE CRASHES, BUT NEVER SELL, NEVER STAND ON THE SIDELINES!!!!!!
A BITCOIN RESERVE IS WHAT WE WANT!!!
NOT A CRYPTO RESERVE!!!! HERE IS WHY:
In 1971 the Gold Standard was taken away. Since then we have massive currency inflation.
A BITCOIN Reserve would, for the first time in 54 years give the small man the opportunity to have his savings secured and not be victim of reckless money printing.
Including other, actually centralized cryptocurrencies inflates the reserve and dilutes the monetary energy going into it.
If YOU want your POWER back, than YOU want a BITCOIN RESERVE!!!!
