I love seeing green candles in the crypto market, it’s one of the things that puts a smile on my face. Using Bitcoin as the measuring stick we see a breakout from the correction and consolidation phase we were in. The next target for Bitcoin is $75,000 and from the looks of things we could potentially see $60,000 by early next week.
From a macro level view we are on track to new all time highs!
There are some important items I’m keeping a close eye on and when coupled together could send the crypto market into a parabolic phase.
Passing of the $1.9 Trillion US Stimulus which will drive up inflation ✅
Coinbase IPO date
Another major company(s) adding Bitcoin to their balance sheet - Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook etc.

Interview Recaps
I had two great interviews from this past week. Here are the highlights.
Hester Peirce - SEC Commissioner
Hester is fighting the good fight at the SEC to help bring crypto friendly regulations. However, she has been facing an uphill battle to get the rest of the commissioners onboard. But there is hope as the new SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, who understands and is an advocate of crypto, comes onboard he can help steer the ship in the right direction.
Walter Kok - CEO of Energy Web
This is one of the most slept on projects in the crypto market. It is helping to solve one of the largest problems we face globally. They are partnered with many well known energy companies and in the interview their CEO confirmed they have partnered with R3. I asked about the Elon Musk Tesla potential partnership and well you need to listen to what Walter has to say about it ;)
After much research and my interview with Walter I have decided to add the Energy Web Token $EWT to my portfolio. (Not financial or investment advice, DYOR)
Interviews scheduled for next week (3/15-3/19)
David Schwartz - CTO at Ripple
Pierce Crosby - General Manager at TradingView
