Could Bitcoin hit $600,000 by 2029? Veteran trader @PeterLBrandt shares his Bitcoin outlook, says further interest rate hikes would have little effect on its price, and calls XRP a “fool coin.” “XRP can be effectively used for transactional purposes, cheaply,” he says.

🔥 BTC: Bitcoin is still in a fire sale at $84.8K.

🔥 HUGE: Centralized exchanges saw around 30,000 $BTC flow out in the past 7 days, per Coinglass. That's $2.52B leaving in just one week.

🚨 NEW: Uniswap took $12.6B of the $20.9B tokenized stock DEX volume in the last 30 days.

🇺🇸 WILD: In 1985, the median US home cost about 3.5 years of household income, and today it costs 5.

📊 MARKET: If you sold $1,000 of $BTC six months ago, you missed out on about $264 in profit. Did you?

🔥 INSIGHT: $200K to $250K by early 2029. That's the Bitcoin target on @PeterLBrandt's radar. He walked @itsciaranlyons through his Bitcoin banana chart, where that range marks the start of the red zone. Brandt expects price to push back into it within the next two and a half years. #TRADESECRETS

🚨 TODAY: Australia has summoned Sam Altman and Dario Amodei to a Senate AI inquiry after an OpenAI agent breached the country's Medicare database.

⚡ QUESTION: What's the next ATH?

📊 MARKET: The $BTC ETFs saw $2.39B in net inflows this week. The highest weekly inflows since October 2025.

🔥 NATE GERACI: Bitcoin ETFs have pulled in $5.3B since the US Treasury said it would buy back more long-term bonds, including the $2.4B last week alone.

🔥 REMINDER: The crypto market added $650B in 6 months.

🚨 QUESTION: What was crypto's biggest mistake?

🔥 BIG: Binance now owns $100M of Circle stock and signed a five-year deal to push USDC to its users. The world's biggest exchange is now a shareholder in the company behind USDC.

⚡ REGULATION: The CFTC says futures brokers can now invest customer money in tokenized assets, and keep their official records on a blockchain.

🔥 INSIGHT: What would it take to break Bitcoin? For @PeterLBrandt, a successful hack would hit its basic premise. Even then, he told @itsciaranlyons it would never go to zero because "there's always a sucker that wants to own it." The Bitcoiners he trusts believe it can't be hacked, and that any breach could be patched. As long as developers stay one step ahead, Brandt sees the thesis holding. #TRADESECRETS

🇰🇿 INTERESTING: Kazakhstan wants Bitcoin miners to run on gas that oil fields currently burn off as waste. That wasted gas could produce about 1.2 TWh of power a year.

Will NFTs make a comeback? @scottmelker tells @itsciaranlyons that “something amazing” is probably coming for NFTs. #CHAINREACTION
