Yes, our indicators show that Bitcoin has officially reached its bottom. This represents the shallowest four-year cycle drop in the history of the cryptocurrency, setting the technical stage for a multi-year broad uptrend.

Bitcoin's fixed mathematical scarcity is structurally superior to physical gold's supply mechanics. This difference is driving a structural decoupling that will allow Bitcoin to emerge with its own independent, asymmetric upward performance.

The manufacturing sector is gathering nice momentum, though we are still evaluating how much of this is temporary inventory building. Geopolitical concerns around Iran and confusion surrounding trade tariffs have caused companies to stockpile goods.

We have just broken out of a forty-year cycle where capital tech spending peaked at the same relative levels. The AI boom is a genuine revolution that has only just begun and is already shifting capital allocation across all industries.

Token spending measures the price per million tokens used in digital models. This metric has dropped 17% recently, which shows that companies are becoming much more efficient with token utilization and optimization, helping the tech cycle.

While imports are currently much stronger than exports, driving the deficit deeper, the other side of a trade deficit is a capital surplus. Foreign direct investment is moving back into the United States, attracted by favorable tax depreciation policies.

We are seeing a tug-of-war between rapid growth and lower-than-expected inflation. True inflation is already falling, and if CPI drops from its current levels toward zero, we could see long-term Treasury yields break down.

Since ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are prolific in cities, consumers no longer depend on personal cars for transportation. As a result, they are willing to let their cars be repossessed while prioritizing credit card payments instead.

Michigan consumer sentiment recently popped slightly due to a temporary decline in gasoline prices. However, the overall sentiment index remains quite far from historical averages because inflation has forced families to dig into savings.

Families are living hand-to-mouth due to food and energy inflation, which has pushed subprime auto delinquencies to record levels. However, overall consumer spending remains steady, largely driven by higher-income earners.

Existing home sales are flat because homeowners are locked into low mortgage rates. Shifting houses would force them to pay interest rates that are double their current rate, making moving highly unaffordable.

Critics look at national debt in isolation instead of comparing it to the country's total wealth, which includes rising corporate equity values. When viewed through this wealth-to-debt ratio, our economic situation is steadily improving.

The convergence of artificial intelligence, public blockchains, robotics, and advanced automation creates high-growth, deflationary tailwinds. These platforms boost productivity, expand the tax base, and lower deficits naturally over time.

Traditionally, firms of our size could not justify hiring engineers because the necessary productivity gains were out of reach. With AI, we can attain massive productivity improvements, justifying hiring engineers and younger, natively AI associates.
