The crypto seas are looking lively ⚓️ The Fear and Greed Index is anchored in the "Greed" zone at 72, and Bitcoin's ship sailed past the $68K mark.

With elections just around the corner, talk of pro-crypto policies, and rising hopes that the Fed might ease up on interest rates, Bitcoin bulls are feeling the excitement.

But beware - the copper-to-gold ratio is flashing some caution lights. It's sunk by over 15% this year - the biggest dip we've seen since 2018. Typically, when Bitcoin's on the rise, this ratio climbs, too. So, this dip has us squinting at the charts, wondering what's on the horizon.

On the bright side, BTC ETFs pulled in a treasure chest with $402M in inflows on Friday.

So, will we find smooth sailing ahead, or are we in for choppy seas? Only time will tell. Keep your compass steady and your crew close ⛵️

🤨 Believe It Or Not: Tether Edition

On Friday, the Wall Street Journal tried to pull a classic gotcha on Tether. They published an article claiming that the company's under investigation for dodging anti-money laundering and sanctions laws - basically painting USDT as the go-to stablecoin for Mexican drug cartels, Russian arms companies, and Middle Eastern terrorist groups. You know, the regular villains.

And it's not the first time that Tether's been side-eyed: a month ago, one consumer advocacy group called out Tether for never actually delivering a proper independent audit of its dollar reserves.

So, what I'm hearing:

- Tether’s recommended by 9/10 criminals in your neighborhood; 

- USDT's backed by "trust me, bro".

😀👍 There's nothing I'd rather put all my life savings into.

Naturally, such claims have raised a few eyebrows, and Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, said, enough with this bs. He called the WSJ report "regurgitated old noise" and clarified that there's really no investigation happening. And even if there were, Tether would know - after all, they've been working with law enforcement to keep the bad guys off USDT. In fact, they've reportedly helped more than 145 agencies in over 40 countries, reclaimed over $108M in USDT, and even blocked 1.8K wallets tied to shady stuff.

To further clear the air, Ardoino also pulled back the curtain on Tether's reserves: $100B in US bonds, 82K Bitcoin worth about $5.6B, and 48.2 tons of gold.

In the end, it's still kind of a your word against mine situation, so we're gonna have to wait for some more evidence to pick a side.

🪙 Code Meets Coin

Remember when we talked about Terminal of Truths, the AI agent that took X and the memecoin market by storm? Well, turns out Coinbase wasn't just watching for entertainment purposes - they were taking notes.

They're now launching a tool called "Based Agent," built using Coinbase's software development kit (SDK), ChatGPT, and the software creation platform Replit. And get this: using this tool, you can build your own AI sidekick with your crypto wallet in under three minutes.

These AI agents will be able to handle trades, swaps, staking, and even register their own Base name. And yep, you can make it an X bot, too, so brace yourself for more diabolical AI-generated content clogging your feed.

As we dive into this sci-fi reality, the big question looms: are we seriously ready for this? Are we cool with handing over our financial lives to some code that might not even know what a dollar is? Well, I guess there's only one way to find out.

ChatGPT can do my job for me
