Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW.

It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world.

What's going on, guys? It is Saturday, February 10th, and that means it's time for the weekly recap.

Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying the breakdown, please go subscribe to it,

give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation,

come join us on the breakers discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit.

com slash breakdown pod. All right, friends, back with another weekly recap, which is, of course, the episode that I record

live with Scott Melker on Friday mornings.

This one is more fun than some of the ones we've had to go through in the past couple

weeks.

There is a little bit less ETF stuff, although not none entirely.

Plus, we get to talk about why Bitcoin excitement is back, although spoiler alert, I argued that it never

really left, and how much we should care about things like the Salana outage this week.

It's a great conversation. I think you'll enjoy it, so let's dive in.

We're pretty much on time today. It's like catching a unicorn on Mars or something. We did it.

This is the Royal Wee. I appreciate you taking credit for the

lateness here. Hey, man, we're a team, you know, one of us is late. The other one is late. We just

basically schedule it for 908 every week. But Bitcoin is flying, man. Bitcoin is flying here.

I mean, just quick chart for people who are looking at a classic sort of pattern here.

But yeah, I mean, we're pushing towards 48,000 rapidly closing that sort of gap we had

when we had the ETF pump on the first listing.

I mean, this is going pretty crazy right now.
