⌐◪-◪ → Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter and CEO of Square, just predicted Bitcoin will hit $1M by 2030.

The man is no stranger to tech, finance, or crypto either. For those who don’t know, some of his accomplishments include:

• Founded Twitter, and sold it to Elon for $44B

• Founded Block/Square, worth $45B on NYSE

• Founded Bluesky, a decentralized Twitter clone

This bullish prediction shouldn’t come as a surprise as Jack has long championed Bitcoin — wearing Satoshi shirts, donating to BTC core, and generally preaching the crypto gospel.

Price is cool, but Jack’s real appreciation for Bitcoin is the underlying tech and the symbiotic ecosystem it has with its users, miners, and developers.

Looking forward Jack is doubling down on BTC, with Block (formerly Square) investing 10% of profits into BTC, developing BTC wallets, designing new ASIC mining chips, and more.

⌐◪-◪ → One of the most-hyped airdrops of all time is about to start — $EIGEN claims open today at 17:00 UTC.

The airdrop is so hyped even Bloomberg wrote about it.

For those who don’t know, EigenLayer is a restaking platform on Ethereum that accrued $16B of crypto deposits within its first year of opening up to users.

When most of that money came in, the project was nothing more than a glorified lockbox with hopes of future rewards.

EigenLayer + restaking has been one of the hottest narratives this cycle, now it’s time to see if they can live up to the hype and find real traction or pop because it was all just airdrop hype.

To be clear, I hope it’s legit — but the hype is real.

⌐◪-◪ → The CEO of Harvest, one of Hong Kong’s Bitcoin ETF providers, said he wants to put their ETF on Stock Connect so mainland Chinese investors can buy it.

This is a big deal, for one simple reason → people.

• Hong Kong population → 7,500,000

• United States population → 333,300,000

• Mainland China population → 1,409,000,000

Just to emphasize this point, that’s 187x more people in Mainland China than in Hong Kong.

Sure, they might not be as wealthy per capita as Hong Kong investors, but the sheer number of people here is insane.

If you think about it as a user acquisition funnel, where the ETFs are the top of the funnel, then you’ll see the real potential here — tens, perhaps hundreds, of million new crypto users.
