The Suit, The Songs, The System

Revolutions leave behind artifacts. In August 2022, seven Adams County sheriff’s deputies in Ohio executed a search warrant on the home of Joseph Foreman — better known to the world as Afroman. They found nothing (save the lemon pound cake), and no charges were filed. What followed was a First Amendment masterclass in an American flag suit.

Using footage from his own home surveillance system, Foreman turned a botched raid into songs, videos, and a public record the Ohio deputies could no longer control. The officers later sued him for defamation, emotional distress, and invasion of privacy, claiming the videos ridiculed them and damaged their reputations. In March 2026, a jury…

Bitcoin’s Next Big Breakout May Start At $76,000, Says Veteran Macro Investor

The Correlation Break

Bitcoin traded in lockstep with software stocks for five years, but that correlation broke this week. 

Software stocks continued to plunge while Bitcoin held steady, Visser told Anthony Pompliano on The Pomp Podcast.

Software names are getting destroyed by AI disruption.

Salesforce, Palantir, and Adobe all posted new lows this week as AI agents make coding free and ubiquitous. 

Bitcoin, however, has no competitor and cannot be disrupted by AI because it’s not a business with fundamentals.

The weekly MACD is crossing this week, providing a technical signal. Combined with the correlation break, Visser says the setup looks compelling.

The $76,000 Level

Goldman Sachs has filed to launch a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, signaling a deeper push by the Wall Street bank into crypto-linked investment products that blend Bitcoin exposure with an options-based income strategy.

What a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF does

A Bitcoin Premium Income ETF typically holds spot BTC exposure, often through shares of an existing spot Bitcoin ETF, and then sells call options on that position to generate option premium income.

Stablecoin Demand Weakens, But Clarity Act Stalemate Nears Resolution

A new draft of the proposed Clarity Act, led by U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-SC) alongside Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-MY), is expected this week as lawmakers attempt to resolve a growing regulatory dispute over stablecoin rewards.

Core Disagreement Over Stablecoin Yield

The legislation aims to address a long-standing conflict between traditional banking institutions and crypto companies over whether stablecoin holders should be allowed to earn yield or interest, The Block reported.

Earlier legislation, including the GENIUS Act, prohibits stablecoin issuers from directly paying interest to holders but leaves a regulatory gray area. It does not explicitly ban third-party platforms, such as…
