The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token sale is currently live, but it is being overshadowed by the popular AI-propelled memecoin, Goatseus Maximus (GOAT). WLFI has sold over $11.1 million worth of governance tokens as part of its presale, but the majority of claimed whitelisted investors have not yet committed. GOAT's market cap is over $275 million within a week of trading, while WLFI's market cap is a little over $11 million. Bitcoin's price is above $67,000 and holding, and it is expected to retest the highs of $73,000 and potentially go even higher. However, there are concerns about the retail side of the market, as the percentage of retail longs is approaching low levels, which could indicate a potential reversal. It is debated whether crypto would be better off out of the limelight or if its essence would be diluted by mass adoption and regulation. Overall, there is a recognition that crypto's popularity comes with both positive and negative consequences.
