In this solo YouTube market briefing, Crypto Mason reports a rapid V‑shaped rebound of Bitcoin, up about 16% in under 24 hours to roughly $34‑40K, and highlights the green performance of several altcoins such as Hedera (HBAR), OMI, and Secret. He notes the lack of personal liquidity to buy the dip and cautions that geopolitical events—particularly the Russia‑Ukraine conflict—continue to add uncertainty. Mason then covers a key Ripple/XRP court development where Judge Torres denied the SEC’s motion to file a sur‑sur‑reply, emphasizing the significance of the single‑word ruling. He critiques Hedera’s post‑proof‑of‑work‑ban communication and points to a bullish technical divergence in a descending wedge for HBAR, citing an analysis from 24K Crypto. The video also mentions soaring Bitcoin donations to the Ukrainian military as a censorship‑resistant funding method. Throughout, Mason offers informal market sentiment, advises viewers to watch for future volatility, and encourages following him on social platforms.

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. Shout out to the Gold Squad. We look for gold in every single aspect of our lives and we always find it. Now today we are back for another daily market update. I'm still out here in Cabo for, uh, NFT Cabo, but let's talk about what's happened within the market. Look at this, we've, we've got a nice nice V-shaped recovery happening on Bitcoin, or that just happened. As you can see, Bitcoin went to about $34K. We have now rebounded over 16%, 16% in less than 24 hours. So it does look like, um, people, people were viewing yesterday's dump as a buying opportunity. I was talking with some people here actually, and and a couple of them, uh, purchased yesterday. I did not purchase anything. I didn't have any dry powder, which means cash or like stablecoins. I didn't have any ready to go. I wish I did, but I'm sure there will be another dump because, um, this Russia— the Russia situation is still like very ongoing. There's a tank right there. Oh my goodness. But the Russia situation is still, you know, very prevalent. Once again, that situation is way over my head, so I don't even feel like I can offer a valuable insight there, and I will choose to sit that one out and just watch the experts because I am not an expert on geopolitical warfare. All right, so these are what the altcoins are looking like. HBAR, we can see 8.9. OMI, OMI's up 35% in a day here. All of them are green. So if you, if you bought anything, I mean, you're looking at your gains right here basically. If you bought any Secret when it was not 14% down, you know, today, now you're up 14%. Simple, simple. Um, but what do I think is going to happen to Bitcoin? I mean, we did get back to $40K here. I would like to see us climb above $40K and just continue to hold $40K or break back into this range right here. There's, there's zero telling. There's zero telling. You can do whatever type of chart analysis you want, but as we just saw, I mean, Putin controls Bitcoin. Like, I mean, his, his whole announcements dropped the price, right? Or his, uh, invasion. So that is what the market is looking like today. Let's get into some of the news that has came out. I don't know how I missed this one, but this, um, is from the Ripple XRP lawsuit. The judge, Judge Torres, has denied the SEC their motion to file a sur-sur-reply in support. So a bunch of stuff. They've— the point is she used one word. She used one word. And take a look at this. You can see it right here. She says denied, period. So she used one freaking word to deny the SEC's motion to file a sur-sur-reply. Now I don't know what a sur-sur-reply is. This is a bunch of legalese, legal speak that is very hard to understand, and that is why I follow people like James K. Filan and John Deaton, uh, because they break it down real nice for us. We also have— this is just suspect, dude. Hedera, what are y'all doing? So right after, if you watched yesterday's video, you know I covered the, um, proof of work ban. Look what Hedera puts out right after the ban, or right after the announcement, or that news of the, uh, possible ban. They put out an entire article explaining proof of work and its flaws. Wow, right after the, the sneaky ban news. That's very interesting. So talking about the Ukraine situation here, oh my. Come on, ad blocker. Look at these news sites, they gotta get their bags, man. Y'all gotta remember, look at this ad. Y'all gotta remember that news sites are businesses, right? They, they need money. They make money doing this, which is a thing. But this is Bitcoin donations to the Ukrainian military are soaring as Russia invades. So the donations are going crazy. Everyone is supporting, and they're supporting through Bitcoin because it is censorship-resistant and you can't touch it. It's untouchable. Now the last thing we will cover, Hedera has a bullish divergence inside of a descending wedge happening right here. This analysis is from, uh, who's this from? I think maybe they did it themselves, but this looks very good. Oh, 24K Crypto, I believe. Um, this looks real good. HBAR is looking good. So that is all I've got to say today. If you bought anything, I mean, wait for the next— we could come go even further down from here. Like, we could return. Like, we're basically creating a new range here, creating a new range. Um, and who knows where it's going to be, you know, $40K to $34K now, $35K. Trading within that. Bitcoin is unpredictable, man. So that is all we've got. Make sure you're following me on Instagram and Twitter. I appreciate all of you. I love every single one of you, and goodbye.
