News Block: Bond Yields Hit a 20-Year High, Mortgages Break 7%, and Bitcoin Price Held Anyway
Description
The government hasn't paid this much to borrow since 2007, mortgages just broke 7 percent, and the most conventional financial advisor in America is telling clients to put 10 percent in Bitcoin. This is what a week looks like when the old playbook stops working.
- Bond yields hit a 20-year high and Bitcoin held anyway. Here's what the buyers know
- Ric Edelman went from 1% to a 10% Bitcoin floor. Why the man who built a $350 billion firm says 60/40 is dead
- Strategy wants to pay you every single day, and it's not the only one
- $387 million walked out of an exchange in an afternoon, and Bitcoin never flinched
