Presented by The Oxford Club
Fraud is being exposed everywhere right now. Billions gone.
But they're missing the big one...
A legal scam that affects 95% of ALL Americans.
Oxford Club's own Marc Lichtenfeld hit the streets of South Florida to expose it in broad daylight.
Watch along as he captures real people's reactions LIVE on camera.
The market traded with deliberate calm this past week, which is the classic setup before a major shift. While the world watched the Bitcoin 2026 Conference at The Venetian in Las Vegas (April 27–29) last week, the smart money was busy positioning. With nearly three decades of investor experience, I view this not as boredom, but as healthy consolidation after recent volatility.
Bitcoin Dominance from CoinMarketCap
We saw Bitcoin Dominance hold at approximately 60.0%. This continued high level suggests that the flight to quality remains the dominant theme as investors prioritize the stability of Bitcoin over high-risk altcoins.
Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index from Bitdegree
Sentiment highlighted emotional swings. The Fear and Greed Index, the week started with a move toward optimism, hitting a Neutral score of 47 on April 27. However, the post-conference sell the news sentiment took hold quickly, with the index sliding to 26 (Fear) by April 29 and hovering around 40 as we closed out the week. Based on available estimates, the market is in a reset phase, awaiting the next catalyst.

Insights from the Front Lines
The narrative this week shifted from speculation to Sovereign Strategy and Legislative Timelines.
Michael Saylor (Strategy Inc.) - Saylor doubled down on his family philosophy. In his keynote, he noted that "the best thing about being in bitcoin... is the community and feeling like you found a family." Strategy Inc. backed this up by generating $82.0 million in net proceeds through ATM stock sales this week, bringing their total holdings to a staggering 818,334 BTC.
Senator Cynthia Lummis - at the Bitcoin Conference, Lummis said to frame Bitcoin as freedom money. She vowed a May markup for the CLARITY Act, warning that failure to act now could delay regulatory certainty until 2030.
Senator Thom Tillis & Senator Angela Alsobrooks - On May 1, they released a crucial Stablecoin Yield Compromise. It bans passive yields (like bank deposits) but allows rewards for transaction activity. This clears the single biggest hurdle for the Senate Banking Committee.
Crypto Media & Influencer Perspectives
Bitcoin Magazine - Highlighted the growing Czech Central Bank interest in a 1% Bitcoin reserve, fueling the nation-state game theory.
Anthony Pompliano (@APompliano) - Pomp continues to emphasize that the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is no longer an idea, it's becoming a central focus for the 2026 geopolitical strategy.
Weekly Gains and Losers
Crypto Gains from CoinMarketCap
SkyAI (SKYAI) - This AI-integrated blockchain solution rose over 300% solution during Bitcoin conference week.
RIV Coin (RIV) - Saw a 265% gain as investors rotate into niche utility tokens.
BUILDON (BUILD) - Posted strong gains of 239%, likely benefiting from the developer-centric discussions in Las Vegas.
Crypto Losers from CoinMarketCap
Rosa Inu (ROSA) - Faced a heavy retracement of 39% as the market shifted focus away from meme-based assets toward quality.
DMT-NAT (NAT) - Saw a sharp decline in liquidity falling 35%, following the broader trend of punishing tokens without clear utility.
MemeCore (M) - This crypto saw a 32% decrease as profit-taking hit the speculative sector hard.
What to Watch Next
The May 11 Markup - The Senate Banking Committee’s earliest window for the CLARITY Act is next week, the week of May 11. If this bill advances, expect an institutional green light.
MSTR Capacity - Michael Saylor still has $26.3 billion remaining to buy more Bitcoin. Keep your eye on large BTC purchase announcements.
$80,000 Psychological Level - This remains the psychological ceiling. A clean break above this with high volume will likely trigger the pre-summer rally we’ve been waiting for.
My Take
Don’t let the Fear Index rattle you. Fear readings are normally a sign of post-event profit-taking. In my 29 years of investing, the best moves are made when the crowd is hesitant. Stay focused on the quality assets and keep an eye on the regulatory progress.
