Did you hear the news? Gary Gensler, former chair of the SEC, is on his way out. It looks like his career is over, but fear not, because Bitcoin will live on! And here's some more exciting news: users from Germany and the UK can now purchase cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin on Coinbase using PayPal. That's a game-changer, right? But it's not just Coinbase making waves. The Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles in the US now accepts Bitcoin for online services. Talk about progress! In fact, Jay Clayton, the former SEC Chair, believes that the approval of a Spot Bitcoin ETF is inevitable. That could have some major implications for the crypto market. And there's more good news for Bitcoin enthusiasts in China. The People's Court of China has issued a report clarifying that virtual currencies like Bitcoin have legal status in the nation. That's a big step forward in adopting cryptocurrencies. Now, it's not all good news. We recently learned that $2.5 million of FTX customer funds were used to buy a yacht for Sam Trabucco, the former Co-CEO of Alameda Research. And guess what? His exact location is still unknown. Looks like some sketchy business going on there. I have a little advice for you: stop making scammers rich and start self-custodying your Bitcoin. It's important to protect your assets, so make sure you're in control of your investments. You won't believe this, but it turns out Peter was right about something. I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day, huh? And speaking of trends, the percentage of Bitcoin supply held by entities with less than 10 BTC continues to reach new highs. This has been a positive structural trend throughout Bitcoin's existence. So, keep stacking those sats, folks!
