Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Bitcoin

Bitcoins choppy pullback and struggle to hold a key support area dominate discussion, with traders split between expecting further downside and viewing dips as buying opportunities. Fed uncertainty, election concerns, and geopolitical tensions are cited as sources of volatility, but no single macro catalyst clearly dominates.

Neutral Sentiment

Retail sentiment for American Express brightened on Friday after the firm raised its full year earnings guidance while reporting a mixed set of earnings. The credit card giant raised its full-year earnings per share (EPS) guidance to $13.30 - $13.80 from $12.65 - $13.15 previously.American Express also stated that it continues to expect revenue growth in line with the guidance range of 9%to 11% set at the beginning of the year. Retail sentiment on the stock is currently trending in bullish territory (60/100) supported by an extremely high message volume.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:787/236;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_19_at_9_49_19_AM_97f070487a.png" alt="Retail sentiment for American Express stock trends in bullish territory" width="787" height="236"><figcaption>Retail sentiment for American Express stock trends in bullish territory</figcaption></figure>For the second quarter, the firm reported a 9% rise in its total revenues net of interest expense (forex adjusted) at $16.33 billion, which came in lower than a Street estimate of $16.59 billion. American Express said the rise in revenues was primarily driven by higher net interest income, increased card member spending, and continued strong card fee growth.Network volumes increased 3% YoY to $440.60 billion during the quarter. The average fee per card increased to $101 compared to $91 in the same period last year. Active spending by the firm’s premium customers at a time when recession fears are fading has helped the firm keep up the earnings.Stephen J. Squeri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at American Express said that an increased scale, combined with premium, high credit quality customers, well-controlled expense base and successful investments to continuously enhance the firm’s membership model, fuels the earnings power of the core business. This has reinforced the company’s confidence in its ability to deliver strong bottom-line growth, he said.Earnings per share rose 21% year-over-year (YoY) to $3.49, higher than a Street estimate of $3.24. Net income rose 39% YoY to $3.02 billion.Amidst all the upbeat numbers, the only blip was an increase in the consolidated provisions for credit losses that came in at &nbsp;$1.30 billion, compared with $1.20 billion a year ago. The increase reflected higher net write-offs, partially offset by a lower reserve build YoY, the firm said.Squeri added that based on the strong performance of its core business, the firm believes it can increase its marketing investments by around 15% YoY without using any of the transaction gain, allowing it to drive the “profitable growth” that investors love to see.American Express shares were trading nearly 2% lower in Friday’s pre-market session. The stock has performed well this year, having returned over 32% on a year-to-date basis. Based on current retail sentiment, it’s likely that at least some investors are looking to use this weakness to add to their longer-term positions.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Although revenue came in lower than a Street estimate, its second quarter earnings beat estimates and the firm raised its full-year earnings guidance.
