NEWS📰

1. 🔥 Illinois Eyes 5-Year Bitcoin Reserve Plan

   Illinois has introduced HB1844, a bill proposing a state run Bitcoin reserve with a mandatory five year holding period before any conversions or sales. This follows similar moves by other states, like Arizona, as governments explore Bitcoin as a financial asset.

2. 🏦 Czech Central Bank Eyes $7B Bitcoin Reserve Boost

   The Czech National Bank (CNB) is considering investing up to 5% of its $146 billion reserves in Bitcoin, potentially acquiring over $7.3 billion in BTC. If approved, this would make the CNB the first European central bank to invest in Bitcoin.

3. 🇦🇷 Coinbase Cleared to Broaden Services in Argentina

   Coinbase has officially registered in Argentina, allowing it to offer local payment methods in Argentine pesos and expand its services in the country. This move comes as Argentina faces economic challenges, with many citizens turning to crypto for financial stability.

4. 🤖 DeepSeek R1 Launch Redefines AI Possibilities

   DeepSeek, a Chinese-developed open-source AI model, has surprised the industry by performing on par with top AI models despite being trained for just $6 million. This challenges assumptions about AI development costs, Silicon Valley's dominance, and China's lag in the global AI race, highlighting increased competition in the field.

5. 💰 Tesla Rakes in $600M Bitcoin Profit in Q4

   Tesla reported a $600 million gain from its Bitcoin holdings in Q4 2024, valuing its 9,720 BTC stash at over $1 billion, thanks to a new accounting rule allowing market value reporting. This marks a significant recovery since Tesla sold 75% of its Bitcoin in 2022, previously holding 42,902 BTC.

Liquidity Is Coming For Crypto

In this episode, I break down Trump buying the dip, the Fed, interest rates, what’s coming next, and why I think crypto is about to get a liquidity boost.

Narrative Of The Week: DeepSeek’s Impact

As DeepSeek continues to disrupt the AI landscape, here’s what’s happening:

Cost-Efficient AI Innovation: DeepSeek-R1’s breakthrough in delivering high-performance AI at reduced costs is challenging the dominance of big tech’s resource heavy strategies.

Market Ripples: Nvidia and other tech giants experience stock volatility as DeepSeek’s efficient model gains momentum, signaling a potential shift in market dynamics.

DeepSeek’s focus on doing more with less could change how AI is built, making it cheaper and more accessible. But let’s not ignore the bigger questions, like who controls this tech, how it handles our data, and what it means for the global AI race.
