When Discworld’s Bitcoin (BTC) Meets the Auditors of Reality

Oh, yes, the Great A’Tuin, the cosmic turtle upon whose back Discworld rests, is moving along its orbit, but somewhere down below, Bitcoin (BTC) is doing its best impression of a 🐢 turtle too, 🐢continuing its sideways shuffle in the accumulation phase. And yet, just like the winds that fill the sails of the Lancre Omnibus, tailwinds are gathering, pushing Bitcoin towards a potential breakout that might just rival the excitement of a 🎉 witch’s sabbath.

The Eleventh Week of Sideways Price Action: It’s a Witch!

It’s been eleven weeks now, and Bitcoin is coiling tighter than Granny Weatherwax’s bun, waiting for that moment when the 🦄 unicorns align and the 🐱 cats walk backwards, signaling the bulls are ready to charge. After all, it took a while to digest the 8-month long bull flag from last October, much like how Nanny Ogg digests her third helping of stew.

And so, here we are, with Bitcoin 🍷sipping its mead in the middle of the sideways range, patiently waiting for the 🦁 lions of the market to roar and lead us into the next phase of the bull market. 🦁

Tailwinds Are Building: The 🌀Vortex of Good News

News is swirling around Bitcoin like a 🌀vortex of good fortune. The Czech Republic 🇨🇿 is eyeing Bitcoin as a possible addition to its financial reserves, and the prime minister 🤵has declared that citizens won’t pay capital gains tax on Bitcoin held for three years. It’s like a 🎁gift from the gods for hodlers.

In the 🇺🇸US, Utah has passed a bill allowing Bitcoin in state treasuries, and 16 other states are considering similar legislation. Meanwhile, Senator Cynthia Lummis 🏛️proposes a government Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, comparing it to gold and oil. She suggests buying 200,000 BTC annually for 20 years, claiming it could halve the national debt. It’s a bold plan, much like how Rincewind boldly avoids responsibility.

With these developments, it’s only a matter of time before other nations start playing 📈game theory, trying to get ahead of the US in the Bitcoin race. It’s like watching the 🏃🏃‍♂️Igor Olympics.

Bitcoin Continues in Its Range: 🎯The Target

In the short term, Bitcoin is close to breaking out of a triangle on the 8-hour chart. But let’s be honest, unless you’re a 🕰️clockwork trader, the direction doesn’t matter as much as staying above the range’s low at $92,000. It’s like trying to stay on Death’s horse without falling off.

BTC Compared with GOLD: 🥇The Gold Standard?

Looking at gold, currently at $2,864, it’s in price discovery mode, making new all-time highs. But Bitcoin is outperforming gold, up 286% since the start of 2023, and over its lifetime, BTC is up more than 20,000% against gold. It’s like comparing 🍔hamburgers to 🍽️filet mignon.
