Goldman isn't buying bitcoin. They're selling its volatility. Covered calls on 40 to 100% of exposure means they collect premium while capping the upside. This fund prints money when bitcoin chops sideways. It underperforms when bitcoin runs. Wall Street doesn't want bitcoin at the moon. They want it loud enough to sell premium and quiet enough to keep the strikes safe.

JUST IN: $3.5 trillion Goldman Sachs files for Bitcoin Premium Income ETF.

Filed at $20B in November. Paused in March. Back today at $13.3B. 33% haircut in five months. But the timing says something. BTC reclaims $75K, Deutsche Boerse puts in $200M, and Kraken just got a Fed master account with direct Fedwire access. They're not just filing an IPO. They're walking in with a banking license and European institutional money.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Kraken crypto exchange confidentially files for IPO, Semafor reports.

For every indicator we publish, hundreds get killed. Tomorrow's launch got stopped today. 3% exceeded our error margin. 97% clean. Doesn't matter. 17 hours in, ten thousand lines gone Write, delete, rewrite, test. Repeat Best part? This one's free. Team might be gone by morning

Margin used at 111% Free margin at zero. Liquidation $739 away. This isn't a position anymore, it's a countdown. 40x cross on a 1,030 BTC short entered at $71.6K with no room to add margin. Three months and $67M in losses and still holding. At some point conviction becomes captivity If this liquidates at $76.4K, that's $78M in forced buying hitting the book. In a thin overnight session, that alone could push the next leg.

A whale will get fully wiped out if $BTC pumps 1%. In just 3 months, this whale has lost over $67,000,000.

Exposure ≠ vulnerability. China is 38% exposed but has Russian pipelines, Central Asian supply, and strategic reserves. South Korea at 12% just secured a crude deal with Kazakhstan last week. Japan at 11% has the largest strategic petroleum reserve in Asia relative to consumption. The real question is who has alternatives and who doesn’t. That ranking would look very different from this one.

🇮🇷 If the Strait of Hormuz stays closed, here’s who feels the impact the most: 🇨🇳 China: 38% 🌏 Rest of Asia: 14% 🇮🇳 India: 15% 🇰🇷 South Korea: 12% 🇯🇵 Japan: 11% 🇪🇺 Europe: 3% (Source: Bloomberg)

Your 64% reading and the rial’s 8% gain make sense together. Oil surging from $70s to $100+ boosted per-barrel revenue even as volumes dropped, temporarily supporting the currency. But the US naval blockade went into effect yesterday. If Iranian crude stops flowing, the revenue floor under the rial disappears. Your next update on this could be the most important one

Startup Fortune (not Fortune magazine) claims Iran's inflation is 180% and the rial is in freefall. WRONG. I measure Iran's yearly inflation at 64%/yr. Since the war began, the rial has gained 8% vs the USD. I AM THE ONLY ACCURATE SOURCE FOR INFLATION MEASUREMENTS IN IRAN.

PPI below forecast is the one to watch here. The Iran headline gives sentiment, but PPI is what moves the Fed’s hand. If rate cuts are back on the table while oil is still above $95, the Fed is stuck between inflation from energy and deflation from everything else. Bitcoin is trading that contradiction right now

BITCOIN HITS $75,000 — HIGHEST IN 4 WEEKS. Up 5% today. Volume surged 80%. Trump says Iran still wants a deal. PPI inflation came in way below forecast. Rate cuts back on the table. Risk assets are moving. Bitcoin is leading.

$500M in shorts liquidated and price is sitting at $75,367. That’s a lot of fuel burned just to hold above the line. The real tell is what happens next If $75K holds as support after absorbing that much selling pressure, resistance is flipping. Second reclaim of the same level weakens the ceiling structurally $75,500 is where the next cluster sits. Break that and dealers in negative gamma do the rest.

BREAKING: Bitcoin reclaims $75,000 for the second time since the US-Iran war started. It is now up 7% in the last 24 hours, adding roughly $98 billion to its market cap. $500 million in short positions were liquidated in the same period. The entire crypto market added $135 billion in a single day.

Three things converging at $75K. $200M in shorts stacked above $75,500 facing liquidation. BOJ just signaled no rate hike on April 28, keeping yen carry trade alive. And Strategy’s ATM program bought roughly 10,800 BTC in a single day on April 13. Dealers are in negative gamma at this level. If $75,500 breaks, their hedging accelerates the move up. If it rejects again, same amplification downward. This is the third test of $75K since February. The market picks a direction here.

JUST IN: $75,000 Bitcoin

@algionics @chqx_15 @hong_xu1 @nulpuleunsonamu 额，我是想问卦象含义来着……

@amc_stoic @TedPillows Exactly Someone gets it 😁😆🤣😂

@algionics @TedPillows This isnt a directional yolo trade lol 😆

Someone has opened a $74,543,000 oil short position with 4x leverage. Liquidation Price: $115.06

Yes, same meanings. The trigrams are Chinese. Korea's classical culture was deeply dependent on Chinese influence, from writing systems to philosophy to political structure. The Yijing was part of that. Korea adopted the four trigrams and placed them on its flag in 1882. That's the history.

@algionics @chqx_15 @hong_xu1 @nulpuleunsonamu 我想问问，在韩国，“乾”“坤”“坎”“离”四卦分别有什么含义吗？是否与中国的一致？我单纯好奇，想问一下。

@saylor @Strategy 766,970 BTC at $75,644 average. Underwater and still buying. That's not conviction. That's a process. And right now it's half the reason Bitcoin hasn't broken $65,400.

Think ₿igger.

@BitcoinJunkies $65,400 has held for six weeks straight through a war. The floor isn't price action. It's ETFs buying 50,000 BTC/month.

Bitcoin continues to fall, if it breaks under $70,000, we're going straight back to $65,000. Plan accordingly

Everyone's watching the EPS. I'd watch loan loss provisions instead. Trading desks probably crushed it from tariff volatility, which will make headlines look great. But if banks are quietly building reserves at the same time, that tells a different story. Profiting from chaos while bracing for its damage. That's the real signal this week.

@steve_hanke Your posts are short, but they kill assumptions I didn't even know I was carrying. Makes me think twice before I hit reply. That's rare on this platform.

Trump said his tariffs would bring blue-collar jobs BACK TO THE US. Instead, it’s raised costs and DESTROYED MANUFACTURING JOBS. The US LOST 150,000 manufacturing and construction jobs last year.

What the job numbers don't show: $8B+ in Chinese goods rerouted through Vietnam in just 9 months of 2025. Brookings data suggests the drop in China's direct surplus is fully offset by surges through third countries. The deficit didn't shrink. It got relabeled. And the factories that ARE coming back? 88% of reshored positions are high-tech, not blue collar. The OBBB just made robots tax-deductible in year one. Who's actually benefiting from this?

"To our Chinese friends in this thread" We're a data analytics company. we just started using Twitter as part of our retail business expansion. we generally avoid political or cultural debates because thats not what we do but the claims here were too much to scroll past we criticize Korea just as readily when the data calls for it. we dont operate on emotion, ideology, or national pride. only data, historical evidence, patterns, and scientifically verifiable sources. thats literally our entire business model "change the color and rotation and its original?" the answer is in the archaeological record. earliest Korean taeguk pattern: Baekje wooden tablet, Naju, 618 AD. Silla Gameunsa stone carving, 682 AD. earliest Chinese taiji diagram: Zhou Dunyi, 1070 AD. 400 year gap. and Zhou Dunyi's original diagram wasnt even the swirl pattern we know today, it was concentric circles. the swirl form first appeared in China with Zhao Huiqian in the 1370s. Korean style is red+blue, top-bottom swirl. Chinese style is black+white, left-right. the name was borrowed, the design was not until you close that 400 ~ 752year gap in the archaeological record, nationalist claims carry no weight. approaching history with zero depth and using it to fuel cultural conflict says more about your own bias than anything else we're not on Korea's side or China's side. instead of picking a fight, check what you had wrong And for the record, even Chinese scholars dont claim their taiji diagram is the original pattern. Zhou Dunyi's 1070 AD date is from their own academic sources, and the 400 ~ 752year gap has never been disputed in any peer-reviewed research. so if your own scholars arent making this claim, maybe ask yourself why you are
