ROLLUP: Bull Market Over? | Operation Choke Point 2.0 Emails | Meta Free Speech | $6.5B Silk Road BTC Sale

Ryan and David return for another Weekly Rollup, tackling the question everyone’s asking in 2025: is the crypto bull market already over, or do we still have more to go? Fresh FDIC emails prove Choke Point 2.0 was no conspiracy, with yet another key antagonist stepping down. Meanwhile, AI agents dominate headlines and reimagine DeFi UX, and Meta’s abrupt pivot to free speech has everyone buzzing. Finally, the U.S. greenlights a $6.5B Silk Road Bitcoin sale—can Trump step in to save America’s strategic BTC stash? Buckle up; 2025 isn’t slowing down. You ready anon?
