The latest episode of the “Auction Show” covers various news in the crypto industry. The hosts start by discussing the flat price action of Bitcoin, which has decreased 5% in the past week and shows signs of short-term bearish divergence. However, Bitcoin has remained steady despite inflation rates increasing in the United States. The hosts also note that Bitcoin is decoupling from NASDAQ, solidifying its position as a commodity that performs better than the stock market. They also discuss the recent surge in natural gas prices, which will have an impact on Bitcoin since it operates as a synthetic commodity that sees its security increase when its demand and price increase rather than its supply. The featured interview in the episode is with Kristen Ragusin, who discusses the misunderstanding of money and how Bitcoin can help solve the issue. The hosts also touch on the Celsius bankruptcy and FTX’s guilty plea.
