Bitcoin’s price has been relatively stable, consolidating in the $104,000 to $105,000 range.

Last month, Bitcoin gained just 0.23% in June....
We're all feeling it, aren't we? That crypto ennui. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin – the whole shebang really – they’re all just humming along in a downtrend like a scratched disk repeating the same song.

Bitcoin’s recent price action has been a volatile yo-yo, recently battling through the perfect storm of macroeconomic, tech, and geopolitics factors.

Senator Mike Lee’s “Keep Your Coins Act” isn’t just another bill bouncing around Washington. It's a quiet defense against a future where your financial life is an open book for anyone with the right access.
