It's February 15, 2025, which ultimately means we're halfway through the month. Another couple of weeks yet to go here for February. Let's kick it off with our market Watch as we do each and every day. You should be able to see coin360 right here in your screen. We got bitcoin barely in the red just down a quarter of a percent on the day maintaining just shy 98 GS. Also XRP ETH the majority of all the alts correcting and in the red checking out coinmarketcap.com the current crypto market cap sits at 3.23 trillion. The Bitcoin market cap 1.935 trillion. As far as the volume we got roughly 73 billion worth of volume over the past 24 hours. We got Bitcoin dominance at 59.9% with Ether dominance at 10.1%. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours we have up 40% followed by Onyx going let the boys be boys, just slam. And then we have scam token FTT, the native token of the FTX exchange. Interesting. Up 12 in the day and below that very modest gains as the majority of the market is cracking. And in the red and checking out the crypto bubbles we get a visual perspective on the daily as you can see right her 90% of the market corrective and in the red on the daily but zooming out on the monthly Very similar scenario but very big corrections across the board. Some of these alts down 20, 30, 40, 50% so be careful with the coery and checking out the crypto get inferior index. We're dead in the middle of Little Italy. Little did we know that we riddle some middle men who didn't do diddly. I only spit those bars Recipe is big fun when we're 50 dead in the middle and it's a neutral. Yesterday was a 48, last week a 44 and last month a 75 in greed. And checking out the time chain calendar we're currently on block number 883,898. We have 166,102 blocks until the next having and you can currently exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 1024 SATs. So stack the stats, put down the gats, pick up some bitcoin cats from a man Sergio over@bitcoin caps.net but anyways let's dive into today's astrology for the broskis. I don't have any specific, you know, technical articles we're going to read. We're just going to dive right into the charts. If that's cool with you guys, let me know. We're going to pull up Trading view via Coinbase and We'll go from there and I'll just give you my two satoshis on where we stand currently. As you can see on your screen right here. Rising wedge formation on the one hour chart we do have a blue bull target sitting just shy of 106, 000. Happy 420 for the Broskis is 420 here in Puerto Rico. Spark up the broccoli now. Yeah. 106 would take us 3, 000 shy of price discovery which was achieved on Inauguration day for the Trumpster. We also have another bull target here in the one hour sitting just shy of 104 G's baby. So 104,000 and 16,000 in play on the one hour chart with the rising wedgie. And zooming out from the one hour. Take a quick look at the four hour. We still have the orange bull target sitting at 130,000 which is pretty lit. I believe this could happen Here in the Q1 of the year which we have until the end of March to hit that particular target.

Let me know when you feel we'll likely hit 130G is I think the next logical leg up after we break current price discovery at 109 is going to be in that range like 120 to 130,000. Let me know if you guys agree. Disagree. Zooming out from the four hour, we'll take a quick look at the daily and the daily chart says it's going up forever. JD Rising wedgie formation here as well. We've had some sideways trading action as you can clearly see for the week. And zooming out from the daily we take a quick look at the weekly. The weekly says There is no second best. We have the124,000 Sexy cup and handle target which has been on the weekly chart for several months now. We cover this each and every day. We had nice run up since Trump being announced, you know, president and all that but then we've been trading sideways ever since. And zooming out from the weekly check out the monthly the monthly time preference you can see here. Thus far February has been bearish which is ironic as historically is bullish. But we still couple of weeks to finish strong for the month and the greatest month of the year February and last month was itty bitty Green, prior month was Itty bitty Red and then November was the Godzilla biggest green candle close we've ever had since the inception of the Genesis block which occurred January 3rd of 2009. But there you go Crypto Bros. Let me know your thoughts and I'll read those comments out loud and again. Welcome everyone just joining us here today on the live stream. And let me show you guys what I was talking about with Plan B really quick so you can see what I was saying. He made a post here Disclosure I have transferred my Bitcoin to ETFs now first and foremost the first red flag. Why do you need to make a disclosure or make an announcement of what you're doing with how you custody your bitcoin? That kind of like raised the first red flag in my mind. And then he says yes I know. Not your keys, not your coins. We know nacho keys, Nachosis. But it's just easier for me to manage bitcoin the same way as equities and bonds. Also not having to hassle with keys gives me peace of mind. I guess I am not a maxi anymore. You're not. You're not even a bitcoin holder if you don't control your own private keys. To each their own. I'm not going to hate on the guy. I have a lot of respect for plan B so respect Plan B. But my first reaction this is genuine. I was hoping this was an April Fool's joke, but after checking the calendar we're still in February. So yeah, My personal insights I don't give investment advice but I do not advise to put all your self custody bitcoin in a Bitcoin etf. And there's several reasons. I would never recommend this to anyone in my audience. So let me share what some of those reasons are. Number one, as he mentioned, rule number one not your keys, not your cheese, not your keys, not your coins. You don't own any bitcoin which belongs to a Bitcoin etf. You know who owns it, whoever holds the keys. So if it's through Blackrock it would be Coinbase which is the custodian, not Yoki's nacho cheese. Number two, if you don't trust the government and you think maybe even if There's a slight 1% chance possibility that they confiscate your bitcoin through the Bitcoin etf which they can do in the name of national security. They've done it in 1933 with the gold Seizure Act. Good lord. You can lose everything you have and have access to none of the bitty. So I just don't understand the logic. It's really not that difficult to self custody your bitcoin, but to each their own. Again, not financial advice. Everything you hear on this stream is for entertainment purposes only. Just some things I'll never understand so I gotta call it out. Happy sat sacking Saturday. But let's continue with the headlines. Here's the latest with Goldman Sachs. The gold man is embracing the baby. How ironic is that? The headline here reads Goldman Sachs stacks the ETH and the biddy. Ironically enough, after years of ashing cryptos, u. S investment bank Goldman Sachs and I believe that's what Gary used to do is work for Goldman admitted it was wrong about the asset class. Not what would Nate Diaz say? Not surprise, not in words, but in actions. Exactly. Listen to nothing these worms or snakes ever say. Follow their actions. The Investment giant manages 3 trillion in client assets and they were fighting Bitcoin for many many years. But now they're buying up huge quantities of bitcoin. Not surprised. And ether via the ETFs. In a matter of months, the investment bank increased its ETH exposure 2000% and upped its bitty ETF holdings by 114%. Goldman's U turn on digital assets. Remind the crypto advocates of the quote first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and you win. Amen to that. You guys have experienced that, I'm sure. But according to the regulatory filings with the US SEC, Goldman purchased nearly 1.28 billion worth of the iShares Bitcoin Trust, which is BlackRock's ETF in the fourth quarter of 2024 along with 288 million worth of the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin fund. The filing show Goldman also holds 3.6 million worth of the GBTC.

Edu so they're diversified. And during the same quarter, Goldman increased his exposure to the Ether E test from 22 million to 476 million through the BlackRock, iShares, Ethereum Trust and Fidelity Ethereum funds. So they're stacking the biddy and the ether. The investment bank's first foray into the crypto ETS was in the second quarter of last year when it purchased roughly a half a trillion worth of the bitcoin funds. The company's buying spree in Q4 was likely triggered by the election of President Trump, who promised to transform America into the world's blockchain capital. Para frazen Trump from the speech in Nashville. We're going to make America the bitcoin mining hub of the entire world. We're going to stockpile the biddy, we're going to fire Gendler and elect Nip Anator as the new chairman of the sec. Exactly. And free Ross. And he stuck to his promise thus far. He freed Ross second day on the job. Bitcoin treasurer Meta Planet has seen its stock price surge since adding the bitty to the balance sheet. According to Bloomberg, the Tokyo listed stock risen nearly 48%. That's like Lazarus. That's like Jesus, you know. Resurrecting Lazarus from the dead over the past 12 months. The gains coincided with the company's first bitcoin purchase back in April of 2024, same month of the having. And as of January 28th of this year, the company had acquired 1760 with the biddy worth 171 million. Meta Planet holds up to 21, 000. That's a blackjack baby. By the end of 2026. And Bitcoin, that's the goal. And it could make it the world's second largest bitcoin treasurer behind Mikey Sailor. Strategy B. And speaking of Mikey Sailor, shout out to the Gigachad recently just linked up with El Salvador's El Presidente Bukele, Max Geyser and Stacy Herbert. The ambitious plan includes raising up to 116 billion yen, which is 745 million USD, to finance more of the bitcoin purchases. And if you want your company to grow, just adopt bitcoin as a corporate treasury strategy. Follow strategy B, do the convertible stock witchcraft and just print the bitcoin out of thin air and you too can become the bitcoin alchemist like Michael Sailor. But Meta Planet isn't the only publicly listed Japanese company to acquire the Bitty. As I shared earlier in the week, a new Tokyo listed gaming studio company, Gummy announced the billion yen allocation to the biddy equivalent to 6 million 6.6 at the current exchange. The company intends to stake the newly acquired Bitcoin on Babylon A Digital Assets Taken protocol. The Bitcoin acquisition supports Gummies broader blockchain Web three ambitions which include expanding the portfolio in the node of the management business. And meanwhile Circles USDC erases their bare market losses. But be quite honest, who cares about Circle? Who cares about usdc? It's my least favorite Stable coin. I don't trust them. They work for the lizard folk. If you're going to go StableCoin, go with USDT Tether Dino Tether. USDT is a registered security in El Salvador. If you don't know, now you know. And yeah yo, but there you have it. And as I shared earlier, Plan B made this crazy announcement. He transferred all of his bitcoin into the ETFs and now he personally holds no Bitcoin. He only holds Bitcoin IOUs via the ETF. But to each their own. I mean what are we going to do? But there you have it. Crypto Bros. Let me know your thoughts as we continue with the number one daily Bitcoin pod. All right, let's now discuss next headline. State of Wisconsin's 162 billion investment board scoops up more the Bitcoin ETF Shares Speaking of the ETF's State of Wisconsin Investment Board manages 162 billion in public assets. That's quite the number there. They bought almost 100 million worth of the Black Rock Ibit which is their ETF and invested 63 million in Grayscale's ETF. And that was as per their filing. Its latest regulatory submission to USSCC made on Thursday reveals 321 million position and IBIT alone. The investment not only demonstrates strong institutional demand for the biddy, but also shows the Black Rock's IBIT is head and shoulders above all the other spot. I mean we're preaching to the choir. BlackRock's largest asset manager. Of course they're the biggest. They're the largest and again the most volume. And sure enough, Data from so so Value shows IBIT was the only Bitcoin ETF with positive inflows on Thursday bringing in 26. 6 million. The ETF now holds 56 billion in assets as of February 13th and it was turned 137% year over year. According to BlackRock's website, Fidelity Wise Origin Fund is the second largest Bitcoin ETF which is under 20 billion in assets under management and third is IBIT's asset size. So there you have it yo. I mean the ETFs are doing their thing. The state investment boards are doing their thing. The pension funds are doing their thing. The sovereign wealth funds are doing their thing. All my Bitcoin kings are doing their thing. All my Bitcoin queens living the dream. Let's continue where we left off with Barclays 131 million headline reads Barclays purchases 131 million of Black Rock's Bitcoin ETF. It seems to be in the headlines today, everyone purchasing the BlackRock ETF.

Disclaimers London, UK based Barclays bank, one of the world's largest financial institutions. More than one and a half trillion in assets. Damn. One and a half trillion. Purchase 131 million worth of the Black Rock ETF last year. In 2024 they made the announcement. The details were revealed in a routine regul filing submitted on Thursday to the sec, who won't let me be the move marks a sharp shift in the bank's perspective on the bitty in 2021. The article said Barclays described the top digital asset as uninvestable due to its volatility and advised its clients against purchasing it for their portfolio. Just another classic do nothing they say and watch what they do. These are the lizard folks we're speaking of. It is volatility making it the asset almost uninvestable. As if the volatility is a bad thing and not a feature from a portfolio perspective. Oh my God. Many would probably throw the crypto out of any portfolio in a typical mean variance optimization according to their silly little article. But I find that ironic and I find that to be fud. And speaking of the volatility before we discuss the latest with the Javier Malay endorsed Libra token losing billions of dollars within minutes and getting rugged volatility of bitcoin is a great thing. Do you prefer to have a dollar which is volatile by the way it continues losing value but it's. It's volatility is to the downside. Or would you rather have a volatile asset that's mathematically guaranteed to increase your purchasing power for the rest of your life? Answer that one. So if there's any institution or anyone, any suit on tv, Jim Kramer, I don't care what his name is. And he's like volatility, Bitcoin, FUD. FUD. So I'll take the volatility of Bitcoin being up 100 million percent since the inception. I like that volatility, it makes people rich. Sign me up, please. I'll take two. I mean serious. So that's one of the arguments the lizard folk. I mean the forces of evil, for lack of a better term are going to promote. So if anyone is like don't touch bitcoin, it. This is volatility. It's like oh no, I'm seeking, I'm seeking the upwards volatility. I'm seeking the increased purchasing power guaranteed for the rest of my life. That's what I want. That's the feature what sailors say. Volatility is life force and the force is strong with the btc. Ask master Yoda, please. But next story of the day, headline here reads, Javier Malay endorsed Libra Token crashes after 107 million. Insider rug pull insider wallet started cashing out just three hours after the token was launched. Short lived, eh? Erasing over $4 billion from its market cap. And of course Max had to chime in. I predicted this would happen on August 6, 2024, and he did. Because I virtually repost every single thing Max. Max does every single day since I've got on. X ain't telling no lies. That Malay will learn the hard way about the coins. And today his coin lost billions of dollars in a few hours. I mean look at that chart. That's depressing. Look how fast it went up. And just as fast as it went up, it came crashing down and people lost a ton of money. Billions upon billions of dollars. So Mr. Malay, not a good look. You should really take some advice from the high priest, the bishop of Bitcoin, the one and only Max Kaiser. He also. This is the the proof. This is the receipt Max Kaiser stamped. This was August of 2024. Max Kaiser wrote, only bitcoin is money. The rest are scams. In El Salvador, we protect people from the scams. Malay will learn the hard way. And this was off the Back of a post from Bitcoin magazine. Argentine's president Javier Merlay says there will be free competition of currencies. So if you want to use bitcoin, there will be no problems. Is Argentina the next bitcoin country? Max knew from all along he was going to do the coinery. In another tweet, Javier Malay makes his first major mistake. He never took the time to understand bitcoin. Or he did and he's just a shitcoiner working with the forces of evil. What are your thoughts now? He'll suffer the consequences. And here's actually something I posted on April 1st, 2024 because I can see through his facade. So I put I wonder who he serves. And this tweet says president Malay dances with the Israeli settlers at the Al Barak Wall plaza and occupied Jerusalem. And then they question putting Argentina first. And all I'm going to say is I can't really speak much about this topic. We're on X right now. And of course there's a conspiracy out there we're not going to dive into at this very moment. But I kind of knew all along he wasn't. Wasn't necessarily looking out for the best interest of his people. And if he was, he wouldn't have launched a coin. So it seems everything we put out there came to fruition. I mean it is what it is at the end of the day. And he also put here Max as I predicted on April 1st of 2024.

Malay's bitcoin illiteracy was an accident just waiting to happen. And again, this is the chart of billions of dollars being lost because of this coin in which he embraced. And it's sa. Libra is such a great astrological sign and he's not doing it any justice. I mean, I love Libras. Yeah, I mean, you feel what I'm saying, Shandy? I love Libras and I love Libra scales. But you're not making The Libra token look good right now Malaya get your together is all I gotta say. But anyways according to on chain intelligence firm look on chain at least eight wallets linked to the Libra team siphon liquidity from the token pocketing 57 million worth of the USD coin and 249000 Salana worth 50 million. Quoting them here, the Libra team cashed out 107 million eight wallets related to the Libra team obtained 57 million USDC and 250000 Salana worth roughly 50 million by adding liquidity and removing liquidity and claiming the fees. Not a good look. The Libra token briefly rose to a peak market cap of four and a half billion that was at 10:30 Valentine's Day yesterday before falling 94 to the current 257 million market cap. Eleven hours since the token debuted. I wonder where we're at currently right now? Someone can look it up. Let me know. The Tokens rally began shortly after the now deleted post from Malay. Not a good look when you're deleting posts to hide your tracks. Malay. We shared a website and token contract address for Libra, which was a private project dedicated to encourage the growth of the Argentine economy. And after the tokens collapsed, Malay deleted his endorsement. Not surprised. Later issuing a state you need to apologize to everyone. Here's what he wrote though. Blaming everyone else. Go figure. To the filthy rats of the political cast who want to take advantage of this situation and do harm. I want to say that every day they confirm how vile politicians are and they increase our conviction to kick them in the ass. Kind of reminds me of the Haktua situation. No different. Just blame any anybody and everybody else and take no responsibility for your own up. Not a good look. Really not a good look. They erased 4 billion from the market cap after the insider selling insider wallet started cashing out the toke causing the 94% decline. Other blockchain firms warned about the project's tokenomics even before the meltdown. Blockchain analyst firm bubble maps warn Libra's flawed tokenomics revealing 82% of the supply was unlocked and sellable from the start. And precisely what happened. All the insiders started to sell, tanking it and they basically sniped it out, made their profits and left everyone else hanging. Yeah, I mean again, not a good look from Malay, but what are your thoughts there? And apparently this guy's a coiner not going to be racing bitcoin for the Argentine people or he wouldn't release A coin. But I digress. I mean it's you just some people are just so hard headed. I, I just don't buy into like the incompetence. Like oh, he's just stupid. They're not stupid. Criminals are not stupid. They're just criminals. And I'll just leave it at that. And I, I am on YouTube as well as X right now. So be, I'll be very careful about what I say, but I'll just leave it at that and I'll read your comments out loud. Let me know your thoughts.

Now for our feature story of the day. Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth Fund announces buying $436 million worth of the Bitcoin ETF BTC. So let's break this baby down. As well as the latest insights from the high priest of bitcoin, the Bitcoin Bishop himself, Max Kaiser. So let's start with Max's tweet. Max and Stacy strike again. The Mideast dam of demand has burst. Trillion dollar buy orders are on tap. God candle incoming. 2.2 million in play. And again right off the back of this news. Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund bought 436 million. Where the Bitcoin ETFs just here in the first quarter. Another tweet from Max. Bitcoin country requires fighting on two fronts. Number one, building a strategic reserve to prepare for the self destruction of the fiat money entrenched monopolists like the US dollar pushing central banks and global scammers like the imf, the World bank bank. And you said number two, prevent coiners from entering the country by any means necessary. El Salvador is the most successful country fighting this two front world war bitcoin. And it looks like wannabe countries like Argentina and the United States of America are losing. Fact, the world is heading to a bitcoin standard. No fiat money, central bank or globalist coin like the IMF survives. The bitcoin office established the battle plan for El Salvador to win win the global hash war in 2022. And the plan is working brilliantly. Quoting Napoleon. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Re quote. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Very powerful words from the high priest right there. And this was the recent meetup on their 22 year anniversary of Stace and Maxi. Max and Stacy. They met with Bukele this President's day.

And Michael Saylor Discussing Bitcoin and I know Max said he invited you know, Bukele and Sailor to the Max and Stacy invitational January of 2026. And I know Sailor's company is going to be a sponsor at the Max and Stacy Invitational, so I can't wait to attend and kick it with the OGs I most respect. You're looking at excellence right here, fam. But let's dive a little deeper into the Abu Dhabi story and then we'll dive a little deeper into Max's 2.2 million target and why he firmly believes we're likely to hit that. So let's break this baby down. Welcome everyone. Just joining the live stream. In the final quarter of 2024, Abu Dhabi made a striking move in the digital asset space, revealing a 437 million dollar investment into the Black Rock Bitcoin ETF we know as I bit. The disclosure confirmed in a filing with the US SEC underscores the growing institutional embrace of Bitcoin by the sovereign wealth funds. The massive investment was made through Mubadala Investment Co. One of Abu Dhabi's premier sovereign wealth funds, managing 280 billion worth of assets mobile dollars. Acquisition of 8.2 million of the high bit shares aligns with the broader trend of institutional capital flowing into digital asset sector, particularly in the Middle east where the governments are increasingly integrating the blockchain tech and the cryptos into the financial Systems. So yeah, BlackRock is in Abu Dhabi, they're all over the world. The timing of the investment, very notable, came just as BlackRock world's largest asset manager secured a commercial license to operate in Abu Dhabi November 2024. Black Rock's eye bit the dominant spot Bitcoin ETFs by assets under management currently hold near 56 billion, reflecting the surge of institutional confidence in the biddy as a viable financial instrument. This is not Abu Dhabi's first hooray into the digital assets. The Emirate has been actively exploring crypto related ventures including a significant investment into Bitcoin mining operations in 2023. That year Marathon Digital and Abu Dhabi Base 02 announced plans to develop large scale Bitcoin mining complex in the capital City, further signaling the region's commitment commitment to the further of the digital finance. The revelation of the Abu Dhabi substantial bitcoin stake also spark reactions from industry figures. A bitcoin evangelist Anthony Pompliano took to X to highlight the strategic implications of the move. Quoting them here. Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund just revealed they are buying hundreds of millions of dollars in bitcoin and people still think the United States won't buy bitcoin. The strategic bitcoin reserve is happening morning. Just a matter of time. This is a, a a tweet today from Pompliano, but I'll tell you who shared that first. Max has been preaching this from the rooftop for the longest time and I've been echoing that sentiment. So shout out to the high priest. I mean meanwhile bitcoin reacted positively to the announcement. We're currently back in the green on the day which is a good sign. But let's dive a little deeper into Max Kaiser's 2.2 million bitty price target. It was initially 220000 and he upped it by a 10 10x. So why did Max 10x the target? Let's break her down Sailors. Artistic portrayal of bitcoin has been the evangelist's mandate since now it's called strategy B, formerly known as micro strategy. The first one to adopt the bitcoin on the balance sheet as far as the publicly trade company is concerned back in 2020 in spreading the Bitcoin gospel as we do each and every day at the bitcoin cafe with the CNA fam. And his ultimate strategy is for the bitcoin bank and gang team. That's according to Sailor himself. Sailor's recent description of how the US can alter the brick's attempt to demean its economy has caught the attention of the bitcoin maxis including the one and only bishop of the biddy Max Geyser and Bukele El Salvador pro bitcoin president raised his bitcoin price target from 200,000 to 2.2 million. And yeah, and that's citing sailors grand rug pull. So let's actually look at this receipt on X from Max Kaiser dated right here. The date is 12-07-2024. Got 1.1 million views. He wrote I'm raising my target price for the bitty from 220,000 to 2.2 million. Sailor speculative attack on the 20 trillion global gold market has a very high probability of success. Microsoft, I believe that stands for leveraging the 200 trillion global fixed income market. A rug pull. Gold is happening now. I don't think Microsoft actually followed through when there was talks. Remember when Sailor was speaking for their board of directors and such like that. But guess who the primary shareholders of Microsoft are? You guessed it, the lizard folks. So not surprise surprise surprise at the same time. But I digress. But yeah, yo. In the interview, Sailor inferred that the US could use the bitcoin to stop the bricks. Dollar harassment stated a massive adoption of the B as a reserve asset would hedge against the attack for the US economy. The micro strategy chairman advised the US government to acquire 20 to 25% of the Bitcoin circulating cap. I repeat, Micro Strategy Chairman advised the US government to Trump that's you acquire 20 to 25% of the Bitcoin circulating cap and store it as a global reserve asset. Sell the gold and stack the bitty. In fact, gold is the poor man's bitcoin. Am I right or am I right? That's a great quote by Max, by the way. He argued that the move would steer a global bitcoin buying spree, boosting assets value and consequently the US Economy. So if the US really wants to reduce the debt, they stack the bitty. But the question becomes are they going to reduce the debt?

Is it in their best interest to reduce the debt or do they want us in debt and enslaved and in control? That's my question for the guys here today. Furthermore, Sailor also teased great twists on a strategy involving the U S selling all of its gold reserves to stack bitcoin. The Chairman insisted deploy would demonetize the entire global asset class affecting the U S enemies. I got enemies. Bitcoin for the Treasury, Bitcoin for the Kennedys who hold the substantial amount of the precious metal. Notably, the plot would ensure goals 20 billion market cap would shift into the biddy rug pulling and I believe they mean trillion. FYI obviously gold has a lot larger than 20 billion mark cap must mean 20 trillion. Correct me if I'm wrong but Sailor noted the twist will see the U s control over 100 trillion in assets of the world reserve currency network and Diving deeper into Max Kaiser's bitty prediction Kaiser and ply sailor revealed microstrategies incessant fixed income market exploration. Endgame stated the software firm has been raising funds from the 200 trillion sector to rug pull the gold speculating it would come to fruition and on that basis Kaiser raises bitcoin projection tenfold for 220 GS the 2.2 million per coin this cycle is a peak. Let me know if you agree disagree notably the price call still falls below sailors 13 million bitcoin prediction why so bearish Max? Why so bearish? Meanwhile it serves the 2.2 million from the current market price of 98 would entail a 2100 upsurge percentage and that's a blackjack baby be and if you don't know now you know. Welcome everyone to the live stream. What it do we have 1800 viewers and yes it is espresso right? Trump needs to get off his ass and buy Bitcoin before he loses his chance for America. Amen. I mean now is the time. If they don't take action and they let this pass them, it's going to be a sad look for the United States of America. You feel me? You know what got laundered back into the campaign funds for the uni party. Word up. But anyways, let me know your thoughts on Max Kaiser's 2.2 million target Abu Dhabi half a billion acquisition of the bitcoin. Just as Max has been calling for the longest time. Everyone's like they're not gonna do it. There's no way they would have announced it. No, they wouldn't announce it before they buy it. They actually buy it and then they announce it only when they have to because nobody wants to pay extra for bitcoin. When you're worth trillions of dollars and you have sovereign wealth fund with access to hundreds of billions of dollars. You feel what I'm saying? But currently Trump is the only ish only strategy US dollar only strategy is that laser gap. Let me know did Barclays bank buy the biddy? Well the headline with Barclays Let me read that to you in case you missed it. Barclays purchase 131 million of the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF to yes and no. Yes they purchased bitcoin. No they don't own the real asset. They own the IOU want. But anyways that's adoption for you. More bitties for us. I figured out I went the wrong route so I got with JB and the bitcoin fam and went all out. I'll hit the gong to that. Gonga gong, gong, gong. I'm feeling strong like the biddy.
