On January 10, The Block reported that 30+ Democrats—including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi—are actively supporting legislation to bar elected officials from placing politically related bets on prediction markets, following a gambling incident tied to former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s arrest.

Jan. 10 — Jurrien Timmer, Fidelity’s Global Macro Director, noted Bitcoin’s current trajectory aligns more with the internet’s S-curve than a power-law curve. Many Bitcoin proponents argue the four-year cycle has ended, with a new structural uptrend on the horizon. I’m skeptical, though—not of the diminishing impact of halving cycles (a point I agree with), but of the idea that bear markets are a thing of the past. Right now, Bitcoin’s floor sits at $65k (its prior all-time high), while the power-law trendline pegs its base at $45k. While there’s still a gap to the target level, if Bitcoin consolidates over the next year, the power-law trendline could drift closer to $65k and become a make-or-break level. That said, this may (or may not) materialize in the coming year or beyond.
