X etf's.com Rate cuts will be delayed even further. The latest estimates from the CME Group Fed Watch Tool shows bets on the Fed cutting interest rates next meeting in March dropping sharply to only two and a half percent. That's right. Traders additionally lowered the likelihood of cuts coming in the first half of the year instead of favoring October as the next date for policy easing. Quoting the Kabisi letter again from there the market does not another 8 cut until December of 2026. The market effectively sees higher rates for years to come amid the recent data shifts. So here we have Bitcoin at a critical juncture. SCO analytics says stacked bids were filled in. This selloff thus far could see an attempt to force a bounce later in the day. So expect more of the volatility. And of course analysts are all going to be tagging different types of targets. Another one wrote here, while I currently lean towards the yellow scenario, confirmation of A bottom or failed breakdown is still needed to adopt that view with confidence. I personally feel the bottom is in and we must go up. And before I pull up some of the live charts, some breaking news.

But anyways next story of the day headline here reads Bitcoin's average acquisition cost hit 40,900 record high in 2024. That's right. Bitcoin's aggregate cost basis, the key metric measuring the original value of the bitcoin holdings reached the all time high of 49 80. Let me know if your average price is above or below 40,980 and this was at the end of 2024 according to Ark Invest's Big Ideas report.

The bitcoin cost basis on 86.6percent increase during the past year, reaching a record 40,980 per bitty, or 811 billion in total, according to the report. Some investors view the aggregate cost metric as an indicator of Bitcoin's fair value of the long term, which may emerge as a crucial support level during the next bitty bull market. Now analysts, including Adam Back, the OG himself, co founder of Block Stream, some say Satosh says that Bitcoin's floor price has already surpassed the 40,000 mark, making it a significant, significant level of support. Some metrics suggest the Bitcoin's floor price is near 44 GS including the 200 week moving average, which is a popular technical indicator used to determine the long term market trends by removing the daily volatility. Bitcoin's 200 week moving average reached roughly 44,000 on my birthday this episode is.

Yesterday, February 11th as Bitcoin traded above 95, 740 and we're currently approaching 98 GS and it's only a pit stop price discovery on the way. This key indicator crossed the 40,000 psychological mark October 18th. According to Adam, the Bitcoin 200 we moving average effectively the Bitcoin floor up only price cross 40 GS. You can view it as roughly the Bitcoin floor price without the volatility, at least historically. Now speaking of the short term, Bitcoin's price remains vulnerable to the economic indicators, including January's US CPI data, which we touched upon a little earlier in the stream. Quoting an analyst here, a higher than expected reading may shift the investor focus back to the rate hikes affecting the bitcoin near term trajectory. Elsewhere, Japan's January ppi, Germany's January inflation data and the suite of the UK indicators will offer further clues for the markets direction. The stage is set for the week where both bullish potential and volatility remain in play. Well, volatility, as a wise man named Sailor once said, is life force. Embrace it and let's enter Bitcoin Super Saiyan Level 3. Just like Goku. You feel what I'm saying? But anyways, let me know your thoughts on that. Let me know your average cost basis for the biddy above 40 below 40. Holla. Keep the comments of flowing next. Story of the day. Broski's a company I've never heard of before. Japanese mobile gaming firm Gummy looking to accumulate six and a half million worth of Bitcoin. And then we'll be discussing Meta Planet, which is another Japanese company has been following the Sailor put and absolutely crushing it. The Japanese mobile gaming firm Gummy plans to and let me know if you ever heard of this one plans to accumulate more than six and a half million worth of Bitcoin as part of the new corporate strategy. A translated announcement from the gaming company indicates the firm will invest 1 billion yen equivalent to 6 and a half million USD between now and May to acquire the Bitty. Gummy had already expanded into the blockchain gaming sector and node operation. The firm plans to use the bitcoin as security collateral for other blockchains and it plans to invest some surplus funds into Bitcoin for staking on the Babylon Protocol. Gummy isn't the only Japanese company buying the bitty Meta Planet which we'll dive into deeper later. The Tokyo based, you know, investment firm which has been absolutely crushing it. But I just wanted to point that out because JAP Japan is absolutely, you know, stacking bitcoin their companies at least and only a matter of time before their central bank or whomever in the government of Japan says we need to sign a strategic Bitcoin reserve as the game theory continues in full effect. Well, let's continue with the news fam. We still have a lot to share. Speaking of Japanese companies, we discussed the new one, Gummy. Well, let's discuss now Meta Planet. Their stock literally exploded over 3, 500 a year just because the bitty accumulation. That's right. Japanese hotel investment firm Meta Planet, the Japanese microstrategy witnesses stock explode a staggering 3,575in the past year as it launched an aggressive bitcoin accumulation strategy. Meta Planet gobbled it up 1762 BTC and became the best performing stock world worldwide. Quoting them here, by year end 2024, our Bitcoin holdings were 14x our market cap in April, A pace unmatched by any public company. Meta Planet is now Asia's largest public bitcoin holder and a top 15 holder globally. Our ongoing ability to access capital markets efficiently translates directly into the biddy per share growth ensuring every yen raise increases our bitcoin reserves. In Q4 we launched Bitcoin Income Generation, a structured capital efficient program that monetizes as bitcoin volatility through option premiums without touching our cold storage reserves which is 1762 BTC. This strategy leverages newly raised capital and excess collateral generating sustainable revenue to strengthen our balance sheet and accelerate bitcoin accumulation. Meta planet holds the 15th largest Bitcoin corporate treasury in the world according to bitcoin treasuries.net and of course strategy B, formerly known as micro strategy, would be number one by far. The Japanese firm aims to acquire 10,000 bitty by the end of this year and 21000 biddy by the end of 2026. That's a hell of a target. Meta Planet also continues to operate a Tokyo hotel. When I go to Tokyo and visit Japan for the first time, where do you think I'm going? I'm going to the Meta Planet Tokyo hotel because they embrace the biddy. I am. I support them. If you want people to support your company, put bitcoin on the balance sheet. It'll probably likely blow up. There's like 200 million cyber hornets Bitcoin huddlers around the world looking to support you. We support one about them right now. The only reason they put bitcoin on the balance sheet now we talk about them virtually every day. So I can't wait for the rebrand for the bitcoin hotel. If I'm going to stay at a hotel, it's going to be the bitcoin hotel facts. But yeah, let me know if you guys ever been to Japan. I'm looking forward to going now. Now let's discuss next story Trump WLFI World Liberty Financial that stands for they're about to launch a macro strategy fund for Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, according to this source. So let's break this down and then we'll dive into Cathie Woods 1.5 million projection, which he feels is the most likely scenario. Her bull scenario. But first, U S President Trump's blockchain platform launched a strategic reserve fund to back the growth of some of the biggest cryptocurrencies. Trump's World Liberty Financial WLFI Decentralized finance platform unveiled the macro strategy Fun for the biddy, Ether and other cryptos at the forefront of the reshaping of global finance. According to the February 11 announcement on my B Day, the fun aims to strengthen those projects and expand their roles in the evolving financial ecosystem. Quoting them here, Together we're building a legacy that bridges the worlds of traditional and decentralized finance, setting new standards for the industry. The fund aims to enhance stability by diversifying the platform's holdings across the spectrum of tokenized assets to ensure resilient financial systems and to invest in emerging opportunities within the D5 landscape. As per the official announcement from WLFI over on X, it also says the purpose of the macro strategy will serve as a robust financial backbone for WLFI to enable us to enhance stability, diversify our holdings across the spectrum of tokenized assets, and mitigate market volatility and ensure a resilient financial ecosystem. The announcement comes three weeks after widespread speculation about the Trump family launching a giant business of a theory or on Ethereum. According to Joseph Lubin, co founder of Ethereum and founder of Consensus, that's not going to be a good look. Based on what I'm aware of, the Trump family will build one or more giant businesses on Ethereum, said Lubin. The Trump administration will do what is good for the usa. I don't know if that's really good for the usa. You guys let me know your thoughts and that will evolve. Eth interesting. Lubin suggested that Trumpet men might eventually integrate Ethereum tech into the government activities. Oh boy. Similar to the current use of Internet protocols, The Trump family D5 platform will also be working towards more partnerships with traditional financial institutions, according to the announcement, which states, in alignment with our mission to bridge traditional financial, you know, finance and decentralized finance, we're actively engaging with esteemed financial institutions to contribute tokenized assets to our reserve. It added that Tradfi institutions partnering with WLFI's new fund will gain public blockchain visibility, an innovative marketing opportunity. WLFI is set to release a comprehensive protocol for the Macro Strategy Energy Fund on the Governance forum shortly. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's institutional adoption continues as the University of Austin is set to raise a first of its kind Bitcoin fund worth over 5 million as part of the institution's 200 million endowment fund. And if you don't know now you know. What are your thoughts on WLFI and the US Government using or choosing Ethereum to build their financial landscape on? I find that very sus personally, but I want to know your thoughts and I'll read them out loud. Now for our feature story of the day. Bitcoin price likely to reach the bull scenario of $.5 million by 2030, according to ARK Invest CEO the one and only Kathy Wood. Always up to no good. Kathy, where you at? Bitcoin chances of reaching one and a half million are improving as institutional investors increase their exposure to digital assets, according to the Ark Invest CEO Kathy Wood. Bitcoin has been trading under the key hundred thousand level since February 4th after investor sentiment was pressured by global trade war concerns turns following the new import tariffs announced by the U S and China. And right now we're back above 97G's only 3,000 away from the Hundo. Despite the temporary market slump, the bitcoin odds of surpassing one and a half million per BTC have continued to increase, according to the one and only Gather Wood, quoting her here from a new video. Many people know us for our bitcoin bull case 1.5 million, she said. And she also shared we actually think the odds have gone up up that our bull case will be the right number because of what is becoming the institutionalization of the new asset class. Remember she had like a Bear scenario, a base case and a bull scenario. And she says as time is going by, she's doubling down on the bull scenario. And she did it on my birthday on February 11th. That's an 11 11. That's a divine omen. She also says many institutional investors are now looking at the bidding and thinking they need to add it to the asset allegation because its return and risk profile looks so much different from all the other assets in their profile. Optimistic price predictions from investment giants such as Woods ARC Invest may invite more institutional confidence for the biddy. And as you can see here, an increasing number of the public companies now holding the Bitcoin. 74 public companies now hold bitcoin on their balance sheet. The value on corporate balance sheets quintupled during the past year from 11 billion in 2023 to $55 billion. And you can see MicroStrategy leading the package Marathon Digital, one of the miners. Another minor riot platforms hut 8. Tesla which just announced having over a billion worth of bitcoin. Coinbase, Clean Spark Block, Bitcoin Group and Boya International. Continued institutional ETF adoption may bolster the biddy price because institutions hold large numbers of capital that can move the crypto markets. Bitcoin's price is on pace to reach the 1 1/2 million bull scenario case by 2030 according to the Ark Invest Big Idea is 2025 report that was recently published. And here you can see, here's the tail of the tape. 2030 Bitcoin price target. You can see the bear case is 300,000. Pretty similar to my bear case this cycle of 222. Base case 710,000. And then the bull scenario and this is all by $2031.5 million. Let me know if you guys agree or disagree. And a potential rally to one and a half million would assume the biddy realizes an average compound annual growth rate rate of 58 during the next five years, which is what the initials of the CAC or the CAGR show you. 21 on the bear case, 40 on the base case. And we have 58 for the bull scenario. Still, ARC Invest based the numbers of a 40 CAGR for the biddy which could mean 710000 per bitcoin by 2030. And here are the price target assumptions outlined right here in the chart. Let me know which you're leaning more towards. I'm leaning towards the pool scenario as well, especially by 2030 because that's not this having us the following. So obviously the next having will be in 2028. So in ARC's bear case, Bitcoin would see a 21 CAGR to 300 GS by 2030. In my humble opinion that's extremely bearish. That would be the following cycle. However, Bitcoin's upside will be limited to the near term until it performs a decisive break above 100 GS. I think we'll be right back above 100 GS in no time time here in February. Let me know your thoughts. Current all time high is 1093 achieve January 20th inauguration day. Traders are increasingly expecting a break above 100 GS. A failure to breach could lead to short term selling pressure towards 95. While a successful move might push the price towards the next resistance at approximately 10 6, 5. Investors also hoping to see a potential bitcoin rally driven by the supply shock. With only 2 1/2 million Bitcoin left on the crypto. That's what I'm saying. We're going to get a supply shock. It's inevitable when that happens. Super cycle in play. Hyperinflation in play. Super Bitcoinization. Bitcoin Super Saiyan in play. Bitcoin Super Saiyan Bitcoin indicator. We're going up forever. Nipinator's giving it to us right now as he's sniffing the paw when he scratches and then does the sniff and goes back to the scratch to the sniff to the scratch. It don't get more bullish. That's all I gotta say. It took me years to realize most blockchains were just vaporware or promises. But let me know your thoughts fam. Regarding Cathie woods bull scenario. Do you most likely hit her bull scenario by 2030? Yay. Nay Holl at your boy. I'm going to read your comments out loud. Welcome everyone to the Q&As. Amen of the live stream.

Episode 1903: “Bitcoin Is On Pace To Likely Reach Our $1,500,000 Bull Case”
Host: Justin Verrengia
Release Date: February 13, 2025
Justin Verrengia (JV) opens the episode with a comprehensive update on the cryptocurrency market's recent performance. Highlighting Bitcoin's volatility, JV notes a sharp dip to $94,000 followed by a swift recovery to over $97,000 within the same day, marking a significant rebound of 22%.
The overall crypto market capitalization stands at $3.2 trillion, with Bitcoin holding a dominance of 60.1% and Ether at 10.1%. Notable gainers in the top 100 include:
JV emphasizes the market's positive shift, showing 90% green versus 10% red, a significant improvement from the previous day's predominantly negative mood. However, a broader monthly perspective reveals substantial volatility, with many altcoins facing 30-50% losses over the past month.
"Finally, the bulk of the market is back in the green. Safe to say 90 over 10, green over red."
— JV [02:30]
Delving into technical aspects, JV provides an in-depth analysis of Bitcoin's price movements using various charting tools:
JV discusses Bitcoin's recent dip below $95,000 triggered by higher-than-expected US CPI data, indicating rising inflation. This initial downturn was swiftly countered by strong buying activity, suggesting institutional confidence in Bitcoin's resilience.
"Bitcoin dip below $95,000 as crypto retreats on US CPI overshoot but recovered quite well and we're back in the green."
— JV [04:00]
"The higher the crypto greed index goes, the more likely a correction is on the horizon. But right now, we have a lot to run up from here, which is a bullish sign."
— JV [04:45]
A significant portion of the episode focuses on the growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, underscoring several key developments:
JV reports that the Wyoming Highway Patrol Association is committing to Bitcoin and self-custody solutions. This move signals increasing acceptance of Bitcoin within law enforcement and governmental bodies.
Max Keiser highlights GameStop (GME) and its CEO's meeting with Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy. He speculates that GME is planning to invest $5 billion into Bitcoin, marking a pivotal moment in Bitcoin's integration into global treasury strategies.
Two Japanese firms, Gummy and Meta Planet, are making significant strides in Bitcoin accumulation:
Gummy: Plans to invest $6.5 million in Bitcoin as part of its corporate strategy, expanding into blockchain gaming and staking on the Babylon Protocol.
Meta Planet: Achieved a 3,575% stock increase over the past year by aggressively accumulating Bitcoin. The firm holds 1,762 BTC, aiming for 10,000 BTC by year-end 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.
"GameStop putting $5 billion into Bitcoin would be a major milestone in the global Bitcoin treasury revolution."
— Max Keiser [07:30]
"Meta Planet's Bitcoin holdings are now 14x their market cap as of April, unmatched by any public company."
— JV [09:15]
The episode delves into the interaction between cryptocurrency and governmental policies, highlighting:
Trump’s WLFI is launching a macro strategy fund focused on Bitcoin, Ether, and other altcoins. This fund aims to bridge traditional and decentralized finance, enhance financial stability, and diversify holdings across tokenized assets.
Max Keiser discusses the CME Group Fed Watch Tool data, indicating that the likelihood of the Fed cutting interest rates has decreased to 2.5% for the next meeting. The expectation is now for rate cuts to be delayed until at least October 2026, suggesting prolonged higher interest rates.
"Rate cuts will be delayed even further. Traders are now favoring October as the next date for policy easing."
— Max Keiser [06:14]
"We don't want to get in the way of banks serving perfectly legal Bitcoin and crypto customers. Let banks do what they're going to do."
— JV [09:55]
A cornerstone of the episode is the discussion on Cathie Wood's bullish projection for Bitcoin, forecasting it to reach $1.5 million by 2030.
JV and Max express strong support for the bull case, emphasizing Bitcoin’s potential driven by institutional adoption and supply constraints.
"Bitcoin's chances of reaching one and a half million are improving as institutional investors increase their exposure to digital assets."
— Cathie Wood (Quoted by JV) [10:45]
"I personally feel the bottom is in and we must go up."
— JV [07:55]
"The aggregate cost basis, the key metric measuring the original value of the Bitcoin holdings, reached an all-time high, which may emerge as a crucial support level during the next bull market."
— JV [10:15]
Towards the end of the episode, JV encourages listener interaction, inviting the community to share their average Bitcoin acquisition costs and opinions on the discussed topics. The live Q&A segment emphasizes active engagement, reflecting the podcast's commitment to fostering a vibrant crypto community.
"Let me know your thoughts on whether Bitcoin will hit Cathie Wood's $1.5 million projection by 2030. Yay or nay?"
— JV [11:50]
"We’re going to get a supply shock. It's inevitable when that happens. Super cycle in play. Hyperinflation in play. Super Bitcoinization."
— Max Keiser [10:25]
JV wraps up the episode by reiterating the bullish outlook for Bitcoin, supported by technical analysis, institutional adoption, and favorable projections from investment leaders like Cathie Wood. The anticipation of Bitcoin's next halving in 2028 is highlighted as a pivotal event that could further influence its price trajectory.
"Bitcoin Super Saiyan Level 3. Just like Goku. You feel what I'm saying? Bitcoin Super Saiyan Bitcoin indicator. We're going up forever."
— Max Keiser [11:00]
"Bitcoin's upside will be limited to the near term until it performs a decisive break above $100,000. I think we'll be right back above $100,000 in no time here in February."
— JV [10:50]
