About this episode
Bitcoin’s next big move is up for debate, with some analysts eyeing $141K as a potential target while Washington’s government shutdown enters week three and crypto policy becomes a partisan battleground—Senate Democrats plan a crypto roundtable and Republicans are organizing their own CEO meeting. Meanwhile, gold’s safe-haven bid stays in focus as UBS forecasts $4,700 by early 2026, even as others warn the trade may be overheating. We’ll unpack the D.C. dynamics shaping crypto regulation, what a $141K projection would imply for BTC, and how the gold surge fits into the broader macro picture.
