Bitcoin Creeps Towards $100,000
354: Russian ICBMs & Market Opportunities
Happy Friday kings, lords, and damsels. It’s money printing season with a side of WWIII.
Wild week — I completely forgot what day it was on Wednesday with everything going on.
The honeymoon phase of the Trump win is wearing off as the left targets individuals he has been appointing with media smears and weasel games.
The world stag gave us a reminder of the foreign policy woes of the last 4 years with an escalation by mother Russia inside of Ukraine.
After a morning of uncertainty yesterday surrounding the type of weapon Russia deployed in its strike on the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, clarity emerged when President Vladimir Putin delivered a surprise address to the nation.
Speaking on Russian state television, Putin revealed that Moscow had used a "new" intermediate-range ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of striking targets at speeds of "2.5-3 kilometers per second."
While the war in Europe tilts on the edge of spreading and intensifying, financial markets are becoming more and more absurd — with crypto pumping higher with each passing day.
One thing I would urge you to do — and something I have touched on in past posts — is stay connected to what’s going on over the weekend. People have a tendency to put off everything as soon as Friday hits, be it work, chores, administrative tasks, etc. “I will just handle it on Monday”. Bad idea. This leads to the highest levels of anxiety as opposed to just being focused into Friday EOD and through the end of the weekend to prepare for the week ahead.
Quick update:
As we look to hedge our presence away from Instagram — who is getting more bold each passing week with their shadowbanning and bullshit flagging of posts, I launched a discord yesterday to centralize all discussions across platforms into one place. In here most of us switched to BullX.io over Phantom wallet for faster trading, order fills, better tools, and advanced orders when trading memes. Takes 5 minutes to set up, just link it with the telegram and launch it then deposit SOL to the wallet.
There’s a specific channel for meme coins, crypto, finance news, watches, slutty lunches (YES SLUTTY LUNCH IS BACK), geopolitics, and more. We’ve got 300 members already (free to join). Check it out if you want to keep up day to day with what the community is looking at or talking about. We will still be active in Substack chat but discord will be free for all Arbitrage Andy followers. It’s popping off and highly entertaining.
Anyways today we’re covering the following:
Crucial crypto and meme coin updates (institutional news, expectations for the weekend, and alt coins I am looking at)
The alt coins showing the most strength and what that tells us about what’s likely coming
What we know about the Russian ICBM attack this week
Changes in Trump administration appointments
Risk On Episode 14 preview for next week
People are sending DMs re: crypto — the best advice I can give you is to start with the two posts below and then catch up with today’s on top of that. The time to make gains in crypto is now — you need to act now to take advantage of what’s about to happen. You’re not too late but sloth will kill you. It takes decisiveness and initiative to get set up. I have detailed all of that in these two articles which are the most read we’ve put out in 5 months.

Trading & Printing With Meme Coins
I know it can be tempting to just throw your hands up and say “I am too late” but you’re not and each day you delay getting involved and investing in learning how it all works is lost opportunity.
Crypto is going to hijack the entire finance world in the coming years and you need to adapt to share in the gains and growth.
This is just the beginning guys.
So sit back and crush a mezcal and do some reading this weekend to get up to speed. Your future self is going to thank you.
Let’s start with financial markets and what crypto is telling us about what comes next.
