Hey friends and family, we wanted to share an update and explain why we’ve been so quiet and off our normal routine lately. Over the holidays, I was away on a father-son cruise with one of our boys. While I was there, I received the call that changed everything. Our other son had been admitted to the hospital, and shortly after, we learned he had been diagnosed with leukemia. Since then, our world has shifted completely. We’ve been in and out of the hospital, adjusting to a new reality, and focusing all of our time and energy on supporting him and keeping our family strong through this. He is an amazing little boy. He’s a great brother, full of love, and has the kindest heart. Watching him go through this has been incredibly hard, but his strength and spirit continue to amaze us every day. Nothing prepares you for how fast life can change in a single conversation. Right now, we’re taking things one day at a time, leaning on our faith, choosing hope, and trusting God through every step of this journey. We’re asking for prayers for healing, strength, peace, wisdom for his medical team, and comfort for our family during this time. If anyone would like to send a holiday gift or a get-well surprise for him, please message me directly and I’ll share the information his mom has set up. If we’ve been slow to respond, absent online, or out of our normal rhythm, please know it’s not intentional. We truly appreciate the love, patience, and understanding. We believe in faith over fear. We believe in hope. And we believe God is bigger than this diagnosis. Thank you for keeping our son and our family in your prayers.

sending prayers up for Jeff and his family.

Happy new week to you all. I’ve got more crypto content coming your way very soon. I also want to be upfront and let you know I’m dealing with a family emergency right now. I have a family member in the hospital, and I apologize in advance if there’s any delay in posting educational content over the next few days. My head may not be fully in that space as I focus on my family. If you’re the praying type, I’d truly appreciate any prayers. My family is going through a rough moment, and the support means more than you know. Thank you for understanding, Merry Christmas, and much love to you all.

✅ What’s working for crypto in 2026 - Institutional adoption and ETFs: The growth of spot-Bitcoin (and possibly other crypto) ETFs has opened the door for large funds, institutions, and corporates to flow capital into crypto — boosting long-term demand. - Scarcity & structural supply dynamics (for Bitcoin): Fixed supply plus periodic “halvings” or reduced issuance tends to support value over time — the supply constraint remains a major tailwind. - Growing utility beyond speculation: For many altcoins (second-generation or smart-contract coins), ecosystem growth — DeFi, dApps, stablecoins, real-world assets, NFTs — remains a driver for demand. - Macroeconomic and interest-rate environment: If global liquidity improves, interest rates fall or central banks adopt looser policy, risk assets like crypto often benefit. ⚠️ What Could Go Wrong (or Hold Things Back) - Regulatory uncertainty: Crackdowns or stricter regulation in major economies could dampen institutional adoption or trigger sell-offs. - Macroeconomic turbulence: Interest rate spikes, liquidity crunch, inflation — all could push investors away from risk assets like crypto. - Tech / adoption failure: If key altcoins don’t deliver on promises (scalability, real usage, DeFi/NFT growth), many could underperform or fade. - Market sentiment swings: Crypto remains highly sentiment-driven — fear, hype, leverage cycles can cause big volatility. 🎯 My Base Case & Bull-Case Scenarios - Base case: BTC ends 2026 around $150–$180K, ETH between $4K–$5.5K, major altcoins post moderate gains or stay flat — a healthy, consolidating bull market. - Bull case: Macro environment favorable + continued institutional inflows → BTC pushes $200–$220K, ETH maybe $6–$7K+, and a few altcoins (SOL, perhaps others) deliver 2–4× returns. - Conservative / risk-aware case: If macro/regulatory headwinds hit → stagnation or pullback: BTC might linger in $90–$120K, altcoins underperform, stablecoins & liquidity tokens remain dominant.

So I saw that they are teaming up and if that’s the case it will send both to a new high!!!!! @Jeffrey Rojas what do you think about this???
