Peter Thiel & BitMine Immersion

Billionaire Peter Thiel just bought a big slice of BitMine, a company that hunts digital treasure called crypto coins.

📰 What’s New?

• Thiel’s Founders Fund now owns 9.1 % of BitMine.

• Right after people read this news, BitMine’s stock price jumped about 20 % in one day.

• BitMine used to keep mostly Bitcoin, but now it is saving a huge pile of Ethereum (ETH) coins too.

🚨 Why It Matters

• Big players still love crypto. If rich investors keep buying, others feel safer joining in.

• BitMine’s new plan. The company wants to hold ETH like a piggy bank and earn extra coins by “staking,” which is like earning interest.

• Copy-cat wave. Other small mining companies may try the same trick if BitMine’s idea works.

⏭️ What’s Next?
Watch BitMine’s next report. If it buys even more Ethereum and ETH prices rise, BitMine’s stock could climb higher again. Keep an eye on other miners—they might follow this path.

• Bitcoin Hits a New High: Bitcoin is now worth over $123,000. It used to be around $119,000, but now it went up fast. All together, Bitcoin is worth about $3.8 trillion. That’s a lot!

• The U.S. Government is Talking About Crypto: This week, people in the U.S. Congress are talking about new rules for crypto. These are called the GENIUS Act (to help stablecoins), the CLARITY Act (to explain the rules), and the Anti-CBDC Act (to stop a U.S. digital dollar).

• Big Investors Are Buying Bitcoin: Over just one week, $3.7 billion went into Bitcoin funds. That’s like lots of rich people and companies putting money into Bitcoin. One fund, called IBIT by BlackRock, has almost $90 billion in it!

• Big Wallets Are Buying Too: Some people who own a lot of Bitcoin (we call them “whales”) bought 95,000 more Bitcoin. In other countries like Hong Kong, people are also buying a lot. Other coins like Ethereum and XRP are going up too.

Is “Altcoin Season” Coming?

Bitcoin has worn the crown for a long time, but now lots of smaller coins want their turn in the spotlight. This lively time is called altcoin season.

📰 What’s New?

• Last week many small coins rose faster than Bitcoin.

• Bitcoin’s share of the whole crypto market fell to about 63 %, the lowest in eight weeks.

• Fun “meme coins” like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu also shot up in price.

🚨 Why It Matters

• More choices. When altcoins rise, investors can pick from many projects, like games, art, or new payment ideas.

• Bigger swings. Altcoins can jump high but can also fall quickly. Kids on a trampoline!

• Signals a risk-on mood. People feel braver and move money into newer, smaller coins.

⏭️ What’s Next?
If Bitcoin’s market share drops below 60 %, many traders will shout “altseason!” Keep watching the Bitcoin Dominance chart and popular meme coins. But remember: never invest more than you can afford to lose.

The GENIUS Act (Stablecoin Law)

The GENIUS Act is the first big rulebook for these digital dollars, called stablecoins.

📰 What’s New?

• The U.S. House of Representatives voted 215–211 to move the bill forward on July 16.

• It already passed the Senate, so now it needs only President Trump’s signature to become law.

🚨 Why It Matters

• Huge market. Stablecoins are worth about $250 billion—almost like a giant digital piggy bank.

• Clear rules. Banks and tech companies will finally know the steps to create their own safe digital dollars.

• Safety first. The law says every stablecoin must be backed by real cash or U.S. Treasury bills so people can trade one coin for one dollar any time.

⏭️ What’s Next?
When the President signs, rule-makers will write the small details. Big banks like Citi and fintech firms like Circle may hurry to launch their own coins. People might soon spend digital dollars as easily as paper ones.

Can President Trump Fire Fed Chair Powell?

The U.S. central bank is like the country’s money referee. Rumor says President Trump might kick out the head referee, Jerome Powell.

📰 What’s New?

• On July 16, Trump asked some lawmakers, “Should I fire him?”

• Most said yes, but experts say the law makes it very hard to fire a Fed chair without serious wrongdoing.

🚨 Why It Matters

• Interest rates. The Fed decides how much it costs to borrow money. Changing the boss could shake prices of homes, cars, and even video-game consoles.

• Independence. The Fed is supposed to stay free from politics. Firing the chair for policy fights could break a 50-year tradition.

• Market nerves. Big investors might panic if they think the rules can change overnight.

⏭️ What’s Next?
If Trump tries to remove Powell, lawyers will rush to court. For now, Powell stays on the job, and markets will watch every new hint from the White House.

🧠 Crypto Mafia Summary:

• 💸 GENIUS Act Passed: U.S. Congress approved the GENIUS Act — the first big law for stablecoins (crypto dollars). It makes them safe and legal with real cash backing.

• 🚨 Altcoin Buzz: Small coins like Shiba Inu, Floki, and others are rising fast. Bitcoin's market share fell to 63%, showing signs we may be entering Altcoin Season.

• ⚖️ Trump vs. Powell: President Trump asked if he should fire the Fed Chair, Jerome Powell. It’s legally very hard, but the pressure is rising. Experts say this could shake markets if it happens.
