In this episode, Pierre Rochard interviews Méliuz Chairman Israel Salmen and Bitcoin Strategy Director Mason Foard about turning the struggling Brazilian e‑commerce platform into the country’s first Bitcoin‑backed treasury, detailing the company’s IPO origins, market collapse, and strategic pivot inspired by MicroStrategy.

Who are the best marketing leaders in crypto?

$SUI (per request) Currently in bear trend on daily time frame. Weekly still in bull trend but risky to buy at this level unless it shows signs of life https://t.co/Vwst8MiBJk

$VIRTUAL (per request) Not much chart history but looks like a bullish reclaim so could see more upside to come. https://t.co/0wX3DXeJP4

$CRWV (per request) Honestly I don't have a read on this chart. Really choppy. https://t.co/V6WnS1JlAh

$JOUT (per request) Nice buyer volume coming in down here. Still in monthly bear trend, I'd like to see it reclaim this resistance for a reversal to bull trend. https://t.co/4Mg7D1kBhy

$CRV (per request) Broke out the bottom of this weekly triangle and still in weekly bear trend. Not a good sign. Has work to do to get back to bullish https://t.co/11vwIbC6Zk

$APP (per request) Notes in chart. Top Goon X just gave a sell approaching alert so a bit cautious here that this could just be a lower high. https://t.co/nltKPUXCPz

$DOT (per request) Still just a dead chart for now. Needs to show something to change the tide. https://t.co/c31cfyc5gI

$AERO (per request) At resistance now. I'd need to see a reclaim of the previous breakdown for upside potential. keep an eye on that level and be patient for longs. https://t.co/l8qq0IRXw6
