+
+[[characters/timmy-tether|Timmy Tether]] opens a new *Plebs on Parade* panel by asking whether [[memes/big-bitcoin|Big Bitcoin]] controls Bitcoin.[^parade] After an unidentified monologist places the week inside the [[storylines/first-turning-era|First Turning]],[^turning] [[characters/richard-greaser|Richard Greaser]] and [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod Palmer]] consider whether a rising market permits celebration while the losses attributed to the [[storylines/hardware-wallet-wars|Coldcard incident]] remain fresh.[^coldcard] Their bullish case ranges from the supercycle's two-billion-dollar destination[^supercycle] to Palmer's thesis that the Treasury, [[characters/donald-trump|Donald Trump]] and the Federal Reserve will eventually press an orange buy button.[^orange-button]
+
+The celebration remains conditional. Palmer revisits [[storylines/canada-watch|Canada and the United States]],[^canada] calls the surviving BIP-110 and [[memes/pleb-slop|pleb-slop]] attention a melting ice cube of social capital,[^ice-cube] and predicts a move to “84” before October without supplying the unit.[^eighty-four] Greaser proposes a Clark Moody dashboard tutorial,[^dashboard] while Palmer identifies Flock as the representative meme for a wider [[storylines/feds-in-bitcoin|surveillance]] condition.[^flock] Palmer finally answers the title question by advising listeners not to be afraid of bullishness.[^bullish]

+## Arcs advanced
+
+- [[storylines/core-vs-knots-war]] — BIP-110 survives its failed fork as both a repair-shop joke and decaying social capital.
+- [[storylines/first-turning-era]] — the era receives a produced forecast recap.
+- [[storylines/hardware-wallet-wars]] — Coldcard victims are the reason celebration may be premature.
+- [[storylines/paper-bitcoin-menace]] — the supercycle, orange-button thesis and “84” forecast form the bullish case.
+- [[storylines/canada-watch]] — the Canada–US dispute returns as a question of loyalty and emigration.
+- [[storylines/pleb-slop-wars]] — post-fork attention is treated as a wasting asset.
+- [[storylines/40-hours-per-week]] — Greaser considers teaching plebs to read the Clark Moody dashboard themselves.
+- [[storylines/feds-in-bitcoin]] — Flock becomes shorthand for the surveillance environment.
