Bitcoin Gets Taken to the Woodshed

An asset’ relative strength index (RSI) was first developed in the 1970s to look at wild swings in commodity markets. The RSI measures how overbought or oversold an asset is relative to prior periods.

Bitcoin, lost nearly $10,000 yesterday and marked its third-lowest RSI reading:

Bitcoin is now selling off at a pace last seen at bear-market bottoms in 2018 and 2022.

Our trading channel was buzzing yesterday. Traders are actively seeking the bottom and trying to plot a way back in!

Indeed, bitcoin is rebounding and back up to $68,000 in today’s trading. Nail-biting stuff.

What’s happening with crypto? Will the crash spill over and infect tech? The questions are worth asking. To find answers, join our conversation this afternoon with Mark Jeftovic, editor of Bitcoin Capitalist, and one of the first business owners to accept – and keep – bitcoin on his balance sheet.

P.S.  Mark Jeftovic’s joining us at a special time this week for Grey Swan Live! — today, Friday, February 6, at 2 p.m. ET. He’s going to help us unpack a set of signals in crypto and Dollar 2.0 digital assets that rarely appear at the same time — and almost never by accident.

Turn Your Images On

Mark will walk us through what’s happening with bitcoin, and what to expect next when capital, policy, and power start pulling in the same direction.

David v. Goliath in Davos

February 6, 2026 • Addison Wiggin

The most important moment in finance this week didn’t happen in a committee room or on cable television. It took place over coffee last week in Davos.

Brian Armstrong, the founder and CEO of Coinbase, was mid-conversation with former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair when Jamie Dimon stepped in, pointed a finger, and said, “You are full of s—.”

Dimon wasn’t debating crypto theory. He was defending deposits.

Armstrong had spent the week accusing large banks of leaning on lawmakers to kneecap digital-asset legislation that threatens their core franchise. Dimon, whose firm sits atop the U.S. deposit pile, heard enough. According to people familiar with the exchange, he told Armstrong to stop lying on television.

The Trump Great Reset Enters Its 2026 Endgame

February 5, 2026 • Addison Wiggin

As we’ve tracked since April 2, 2025,  the early phase of the reset burned hot. Institutions weakened. Assumptions cracked.

This week supplied fresh evidence. Software buckled under pressure from artificial intelligence. Metals convulsed under leverage.

What follows looks colder and more deliberate. The metaphor shifts from bonfire to board game. The game isn’t chess. It’s Risk. Territory matters. Chokepoints matter. Supply lines matter.

Winning depends less on elegance and more on control.

Creative Destruction Comes for Software

February 4, 2026 • Addison Wiggin

Market behavior is shifting alongside technology. AI shortens business cycles and accelerates repricing. Leverage magnifies reactions. Empire of Debt warned that systems built on smooth assumptions fail loudly once those assumptions collide with reality. Software reached that collision point first.
