$100k Bitcoin in 5 weeks?! Adoption spiking, BTC eating Gold and cleaning up landfills - Ep.62

Today’s Bitcoin news!

PRICE UPDATE:

After hanging above $72k for more than 24 hours, we just dropped down into the $68k range but are now hovering around $70k. This seems to be normal price movement. Keep in mind as the Bitcoin price rises we are going to have people selling to “take profits” while other people are buying, and this can stagnate the price action or even drive it down temporarily.
