We unpack Bitcoin\u2019s renewed rally into the 70s and explore how geopolitical tensions, hash\u2011rate swings, and macro narratives are driving price action. Then we dive into the CFTC\u2019s latest push to regulate prediction markets, and what it means for platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi as \u201cgambling\u201d and \u201cforecasting\u201d continue to blur. The conversation shifts to the so\u2011called \u201cSaaS\u2011pocalypse\u201d and whether the doom narrative holds up in a world where AI-native companies are generating 10\u00d7 more revenue per employee. Finally, we spotlight the nearly 40 new unicorns minted this year, with AI dominating the list, and discuss what this potentially says about where capital, innovation, and excitement are flowing in 2026.  Remember to Stay Current!  To learn more, visit us on the web at https:\/\/www.morgancreekcap.com\/morgan-creek-digital\/.
