TODAY’S BIG STORY
Bitcoin's Wild Ride to $138K
Blink and you might have missed it! Crypto’s beloved Bitcoin (BTC) briefly touched a mind-boggling $138,000 on Binance.US due to a sudden price wick.
But, don't get too excited – it was only for a few seconds before prices came back down to earth. The wild ride was reportedly due to low liquidity on the BTC/Tether trading pair on the exchange.
Why you should care:
Bitcoin “maxis” (aka diehard Bitcoin fans), have been calling for Bitcoin’s price to blast last $100K+ for years. In fact, even people like the highly respected investor Cathie Wood believe Bitcoin will eventually hit $1 Million dollars per coin!
If that’s true, investing in it today could prove to be life changing. And if you want to learn more about investing in Bitcoin and other crypto assets, I cover the safest way to get involved in Bitcoin & crypto below.
The price of BTC rocketing to $138K is also a big reminder that that crypto markets can be highly volatile and unpredictable – whether prices are going up or down. Always remember to invest responsibly and never put your currently lifestyle at risk to buy crypto!

TODAY'S BIG CRYPTO TIP
Stay Rational & Stay Safe
It’s funny…
Two weeks ago crypto was all doom and gloom. The markets were down, and there were sad faces everywhere…😕
Crypto 2 weeks ago…
But this week, things are MUCH different.
The markets are pumping, people are jumping for joy (even doing cartwheels), and there’s hope all around.
It’s almost as if the previous crypto crash and SEC lawsuits never happened.
Crypto today!
The lesson?
Crypto is volatile.
Markets go up, down, and all around.
That’s why investing rationally is the way to go. Never invest more than you’re willing to lose, and be careful when it comes to chasing the markets.
Chasing the market is when you see prices go up, and you keep buying (with money you didn’t plan on using) thinking prices will go up forever – and then suddenly they crash on you.
No one has a crystal ball. And it’s fine to buy or sell anytime you want as long as you understand the risks. Just be sure you’re not risking it all in the process 👍️
