Two totally unrelated storylines collided into one big question across Crypto Twitter: Why is the market turning green again?
Spoiler: It’s not because Congress is releasing the Epstein files but that headline didn’t hurt the chaos.
House Votes 427–1 to Release Epstein Files: Market Reacts, but Not How You Think
With a near-unanimous roar, the House of Representatives – a stunning 427-1 – demanded the unlocking of the vault, compelling the Department of Justice to finally expose the long-hidden Jeffrey Epstein files.
The bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna, now heads to the Senate.

Marjorie Taylor Greene hailed it as a watershed moment: “A major victory, decades overdue, for the survivors who’ve yearned for the truth.” She vowed, if need be, to etch their names into the Congressional record, reading them aloud “on the House floor” herself.
However, despite the political shockwaves, the market wasn’t rallying due to congressional transparency.
That part of the story belongs to someone else.
Michael Saylor Declares the Dip ‘Normal,’ Says Bitcoin Will Hit New ATH Soon
As Washington D.C. detonated over the Epstein files, Michael Saylor dropped a Bitcoin bomb on Fox Business, delivering a message crypto disciples craved.
“This is normal… Bitcoin’s had 15 major drawdowns, and it’s always come back to a new all-time high,” he said.
And then the line everyone clipped and spread across X:
“The dip is temporary Bitcoin will hit a new all-time high soon.”
Saylor doubled down with long-term math:
- Bitcoin has appreciated approximately 50% annually over the past five years.
- Strategy (his company) is “engineered to survive an 80–90% drawdown”
- BTC could grow 30% annually for the next 20 years
- And volatility will keep decreasing as Wall Street moves in
In classic Saylor form:
“If you want to save money forever without counterparty risk, Bitcoin is stronger than ever.”
Markets seemed to agree, with charts flipping green and the total market cap rising by a modest 2%.

Natalie Brunell Adds Fuel: Bitcoin Is a ‘100-Year Investment’
Fox Business amplified a crucial voice during the market dip: Natalie Brunell, host of Coin Stories, offering retail investors the psychological armor needed to weather the storm.
- Bitcoin has survived 12 drawdowns of 25% or more
- People who panic “don’t understand the asset yet”
- She’s been buying dips since 2017
- And Bitcoin is the only asset “8 billion people can save in without inflation or confiscation risk”
Her headline quote:
“Bitcoin is for everyone and it’s here to stay forever.”
That segment ricocheted across crypto circles even faster than Saylor’s.
Bottom Line: Epstein headlines created noise, Saylor created momentum .
Yes, the Epstein Files vote dominated US political news. Yes, Crypto Twitter lit up with memes, conspiracies, and speculation. But the actual reason the charts turned green was simple:
Saylor flipped market sentiment on live TV, Brunell reinforced it, and retail remembered what cycle they’re in.
As Washington girds for a transparency showdown, crypto bulls eye a fresh Everest.
Tom Lee, BitMine chair, suggests a potential Bitcoin surge past previous highs this year could shatter the widely accepted four-year cycle theory, rewriting the rules of crypto market behavior.
