Market Update - Calm Before The Storm?
It’s been a quiet week for Bitcoin, with little price action movement since the slight recovery after last week's big dump. We discuss whether this is a good sign and why selling pressure easing off could result in a price increase in the near future.
Is Russia Banning Bitcoin?
It’s been a confusing week regarding Russia’s stance on Bitcoin, with the Central Bank of Russia proposing to completely ban crypto mining and trading only for this to later be rejected in favour of more regulations. We tell you everything you need to know about this topic and why it’s important for the crypto industry.
Will We Have to Pay More Taxes On Crypto?
In what could be a significant announcement in Bitcoin’s history, president Biden announced that new rules and regulations for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are coming soon. One of these is to raise tax on crypto, claiming to be due to their high-risk nature and the fact that there is an argument cryptocurrencies are bad for the environment. We argue the case that they are not as bad as the environment as the news suggests in episode 7 of the podcast which you can listen to HERE.
What we cover in this episode
- Market update after a quiet week for Bitcoin’s price action
- Where the market could be headed next
- Are Russia banning Bitcoin or not?
- President Biden’s announcement that more crypto regulations are coming
- Is the tax on cryptocurrencies going to increase?
- Should governments be able to regulate crypto?

Update On The Latest Crypto Dump
It’s safe to say it has not been a good few days in the crypto space, with Bitcoin falling more to reach the lowest level in months. This is mainly due to worrying recent announcements about interest rates and inflation that are causing people to sell their risk assets. In this episode, we discuss what caused the latest Bitcoin dump and why all is not lost, with a potential relief rally expected in the near future.
We also chat about why it’s important to look at the macro elements of the financial market and why the S&P 500 and NASDAQ can be helpful to identify the state of the market.
Understanding Charts
We have got a lot of questions recently about how to get into chart reading and analysis so we thought we’d dive into how we look at charts and discuss TradingView, a brilliant trading platform that allows you to build watch lists and see price action in real-time. You can create a free account using this link https://www.tradingview.com/
Are NFTs Here to Stay?
Lastly, we discuss what NFTs we are a fan of including Wow Pixies, a women led project with the vision “to lift up and help bring Women led projects to the forefront”. We also make a case for why we think NFTs are here to stay and have a major advantage of not facing issues like financial regulations that cryptocurrencies face.
What we cover in this episode
- What caused the latest Bitcoin dump?
- Where the market is likely to head next
- S&P 500 and NASDAQ and why they affect Bitcoin

We are excited to bring you an exclusive interview with Crypto Caeser, an experienced trader and analyst to shed some light on the current market and where Bitcoin might be headed next. This interview contains some amazing chart analysis on video, so if you are able to watch on video we highly recommend heading to our YouTube channel using this link
Are we Headed for a Move to The Upside?
Crypto Caeser puts his case forward for why he believes we are more likely to be headed to the upside rather than the downside. This includes macro analysis of Bitcoin, on-chain, fear to greed index and dormancy flow. Despite the analysis looking promising, we also discuss the importance of implementing a risk management strategy, only investing what you can afford to lose and having patience when investing.
Is it Time to Buy or Sell?
There are some strong indicators that are suggesting it is a great time to buy, the market is in extreme fear, the on-chain hash rate has been hitting new all-time highs and the dormancy flow level is suggesting the market is about to or has bottomed out. This all indicates now could be a good time to buy but as always, we recommend dollar-cost averaging in and making sure you manage your own risk tolerance.
What we cover in this episode
- Who is Crypto Caeser
- Where is the crypto market headed next?
- Analysis of the macro elements of Bitcoin
- On-chain analysis
- Fear to greed index
- Dormancy level analysis

Own a Piece of Crypto Island! With Dan Bouwer
Crypto Island
Crypto Island is a community based project with the goal of buying an island with crypto and tokenising it so anyone can co-own a real private island in the Bahamas. They are using a DAO to fund and govern the island so all the decisions and events can be decided by the community rather than a business hierarchy. This innovative idea means that the Island will be largely decentralised which gives the community full transparency and as much power and involvement in decision making as possible.
How You Can Get Involved
The DAO is now officially live and Crypto Island are holding a crypto crowdfunding campaign for 100 days. Once the 100 days are up that’s it so if you want to get involved don’t hesitate or you will miss out! People can use Etherium to contribute to the DAO and the more you buy the more voting power and benefits you get. For evey 1 Etherium you contribute you get 1 million palm tree tokens, which act as voting power and you will also get an NFT depending on how much you buy. You can get involved in the project via the link https://dao.cryptoisland.com/
What The Future Has in Store for Crypto Island
There is no doubt this is a very exciting project and it’s likely there will be a huge demand of people wanting to get involved, but what is the overall mission? In this interview, Dan reveals what the future may bring including more islands and opportunities of co-ownership of other assets like boats and cars.

Market Update - Is a Bounce On Its Way?
The market has been moving sideways for some time now and the fear to greed indicator has been constantly at the extreme fear level for weeks. But is the next move for Bitcoin likely to be down below $40k or are we due a relief rally in the coming months? We reveal what we believe could be on the horizon for Bitcoin and why the indicators are pointing towards a bounce in the near future.
Bitcoin Developers Legal Trouble
One thing featuring in the news currently is constant legal cases being raised against Bitcoin developers, despite not always being clear why. The lawsuits have been growing in number in recent months although Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has created a fund to be used to help Bitcoin developers get legal aid if legal cases are filed against them.
DAOs
DAOs are decentralized autonomous organizations that aren’t governed by a hierarchy and instead, the rules of each DAO are coded on the blockchain allowing for complete transparency with the way they are run. In this episode, we talk you through this latest crypto trend and discuss Spice Dao, who paid nearly $3million for the novel Dune believing they had bought the rights to all the book’s content. They were eventually told all they had bought was a 1st edition copy of the book and not the rights which has dominated the crypto news over the last couple of days.
What we cover in this episode
- Market update and what’s next for Bitcoin?
- Is a Bitcoin bounce on the horizon?
- Why Bitcoin developers are being hit with legal cases
- Jack Dorsey’s fund to help the developers
- What are DAOs
- Spice DAOs unfortunate incident
