Bitcoin has slipped back below $70,000 as short-term holders take profits, but the bigger macro story could be far more bullish for crypto. Analysts including Arthur Hayes are warning that a prolonged U.S.–Iran conflict could force the Federal Reserve back to money printing, potentially flooding global markets with liquidity and sending Bitcoin higher.At the same time, major infrastructure is quietly being built inside the crypto ecosystem. Tether has just placed a $7.5 million bet on a company aiming to enable USDT payments directly on the Bitcoin network, potentially turning Bitcoin into a global settlement layer for digital dollars. Meanwhile, Solana is facing short-term technical pressure after failing to break a key resistance level, raising concerns that a capitulation phase could be approaching if support fails.In today’s episode we break down why Bitcoin dropped below $70K, what macro forces could drive the next bull run, why Tether is betting on Bitcoin payments, and what traders are watching next for Solana.Also this week is a special one for the show because Glen has just welcomed his baby into the world.
