But anyways, let's kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. You can see preload bitty correcting maintaining around 84,000 at the time of the live stream. Ether, BNB and Tron barely in the red XRP and most of the alts many of correcting and in the red and checking out coinmarketcap.com the current crypto market cap sitting at a 2.75 trillion dollar mark, the Bitcoin market cap sitting at $1.663 trillion. We got roughly 63 billion worth of volume for the past 24 hours and the current Bitcoin dominance is 60 and a half percent with the Ether dominance back on the climb but barely. Currently at 8.7% and checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. Cake leading the pack up 15% followed by Bara up 11% followed by Story up 8%. Which alts are you bullish on? For the bull holla and checking out the crypto bubbles, I like to use this so we get a visual perspective on the daily and for the month. And as you can see here unfortunately for the day the majority of the alts correcting and in the red I'd 80 over 20 red over green. Let's actually do the week. We usually skip the week and go to the month for the weekly I'd say a mixed bag maybe 6040 green over red and zooming out on the monthly unfortunately 95 Wreck City blood on these streets in the crypto sphere and checking out the Crypto Green Invariant index We're currently rated a 31 back in fear yesterday was 49 neutral, last week at 27 and last month of 44 in fear and checking out the time chain Calendar we have 161210 blocks until the having in 2028 and we're currently on block number 888, 790 and you currently exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 1192 sats. Pick up the sats, put down the gats and pick up some bitcoin caps from my man Sergio over at Bitcoin Caps net. Next let's dive into RTA AKA Astrology for the Brosis and for today we'll Just pull up some of the live charts, do some live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction, you feel me here. You're looking at a one hour chart. There is a rising formation as you can see with those green lines. But we do have a bear target on the screen currently sitting at 75, 761. And do note this is via Coinbase. And again, this is live via Trading View. And zooming out from the hourly chart, we'll take a look at a four hour. The four hour chart shows a rising wedge as well, but there's also a falling wedge before the rising wedge, interestingly enough. And we do have a few targets to be aware of. One is a double bott bull target of 113,7. And then we have another target at 106, 269 which would take us maybe 3,000 away from price discovery, which was achieved Jan 20, which is currently 1093. And we also have a bear target here on the four hour chart sitting at 75, 776. My question for y'all, is the bottom in? As you know, maybe a week ago we touched the 76 to 77 range and many of the top analysts say the bottom is in. And we can start, you know, ascending from here. Recapture, you know, Price Discovery potentially even by the end of this month, if not by April.

But you guys let me know your thoughts. Or do you think we'll likely retest that 77 level and potentially follow this target on the screen at 75? Let me know and I'll read those comments here in a bit and check it out. The daily. The daily chart also is a rising wedge followed by a falling wedge. Ironic enough, two bull targets on the screen, the one in the red sitting at 114. And we have one just right about the same level, maybe in the 113, 114 range. Yep, 113.7 to be exact. And then we also have a bear target here on the daily chart sitting at 68, 699. And a super bear target, which you ain't got. You ain't gonna see nothing near this in my opinion. But Nonetheless, it shows $49,000 for the king crypto. And zooming out from the daily, we take a look at a weekly the weekly chart. Holy moly. We also still have the the Sexy 124 cup and Handle Target, which in my opinion is in play, especially once we can recapture price discovery. I think that'll be the next logical leg up. Somewhere between the 120 to 130 range. But you guys let me know your thoughts. And of course we're going to get a new weekly close here on Sunday at around 6pm the past couple of weeks, you know, obviously it's been not moving much, pretty sideways, itty bitty green candle close we had last Sunday. And the prior week was a mega be candle, as you can see in your screen. And then we had another bear candle. So we've had several weeks of either bearishness or trading sideways and hopefully we can recover and bounce back strong, especially for the month of April if we don't finish strong here in the month month of March. But nonetheless, speaking of the monthly, let's pull up the monthly chart. As you can see here thus far, we're forming a red candle for the month. Last month was also a bearish close, unfortunately. January we were in the green, December was in the red, and November was the most bullish candle of all time we've had since the inception of the Genesis block, which you can see the big Godzilla candle here on your screen. But also let me know if you think we'll likely close the month of March in the green or in the red. And then for the month of April. And obviously we're going to put a bow on Q1 here and there's only less than a couple of weeks left and it is 420. So happy 420 in advance of course, for the Brosis. But yeah, let's dive into the latest from the Giga chat. Mikey Sailor, I was always a pleasure to see this. Michael Sailor tweeted. Strategy announces pricing of its Strife Perpetual Prefer stock, offering to upsize the deal from 500 million to 722 million under promise over deliver. That's this man right here. So yeah, big things ahead here. Let's break her down. Strategy has announced the pricing of its latest round of perpetual Prefer stock, which the company does before announcing more bitcoin acquisitions. According to Strategy, the latest round of preferred stock will be sold at $85 per share and with a 10% coupon. What a nice man. It'll bring the company approximately 711 million in revenue, hence why he is called the Bitcoin alchemist. Market analyst Jesse Meers said the annual 11.8% dividend distributed to the investors from the largest offering suggests Strategy can now siphon investors from the bond market, which only offers 4.2 interest strategies. Most recent bitty purchase occurred March 17th. The company acquired 130 bitcoin valid at roughly 10 million. I think that was like their smallest bitcoin acquisition of all time, bringing its total holdings to499,226 BTC. So currently strategy has more than double the Bitcoin allocation than the United States government. So it's one of the largest holders in the world. BlackRock obviously has more than them over 600,000 I believe. However, this is one of the obviously it's the first publicly traded company even put Bitcoin on the balance sheet and they're just leading the way with corporate adoption. The March 17 acquisition was the company's smallest purchase on record, as I mentioned, however, Michael Sailor signaled that the company will raise more debt and sell more equity to fuel the accumulation of Bitcoin. And you know Sailors loving these prices right now. If you were a billionaire purchasing billions of dollars of Bitcoin, would you rather do so at 80,000 or 180,000? Clear, right? It's clear. March 10 Strategy announced it would periodically sell shares at a 8% Series A perpetual Strike Prefer stock as part of the plan to raise an additional 21 billion to buy more Bitcoin. Can someone run the math of today's prices? How much Bitcoin can sailor purchase with $21 billion? With today's price? Let me know. I'm curious. The company followed through on the March 18 by announcing the trench of 5 million shares of series A Perpetual Prefer stock to raise additional capital. Data from the Sailor tracker shows the company is still up approximately 26% all time on its investment and is sitting on over 8.6 billion in unrealized gains. Despite the recent market downturn, however, shares of Strategy declined by over 26% early March since their highest point in January of 2025, and plummeted by over 44 since the all time high of roughly $543 reached on November 21st.

Shares of strategy are currently trading at around 299 bucks, up 29 from the recent low of $231 recorded March 11 ten days ago. The company's conclusion in the NASDAQ 100, a weighted stock index attracts 100 companies by market cap. On the tech focused stock exchange, injected fresh capital flows into the company, but also exposed it to the broader downturns within the tech market. And if you don't know, now you know also Breaking news Privacy wins. Tornado Cash is officially legal Roman Storm and Alexi should be immediately freed, pardoned and reimbursed by the state for their invalid prosecution. As you know, the war on crypto under the Biden administration with Gary Gensler, they targeted the Tornado Cash developers. While it has been official, Tornado Cash is legal, so all criminal charges should be dropped. And if they're still in jail, I don't know all the details, they should be released. So that's good news for the crypto industry. And if you don't know now you know. Yeah. So let's discuss this Eminem story. It was kind of caught my interest. That's interesting. Eminem's former sound engineer charged with selling the rapper's unreleased music for bitcoin. Now many rappers have exposure to bitcoin. There's been stories we've covered over the years. I've been doing this podcast for like, I don't know, seven years or so. And I know 50 Cent was collecting Bitcoin for albums. I know Eminem is a bitcoin holder. I know Logic is a bitcoin holder. I would assume all the smart people in hip hop, or just smart people in general, are bitcoin holders. And especially if you're, you know, worth hundreds of millions or potentially billions of dollars and you have that level of influence. Let's break this down. A former sound engineer for award winning rapper Eminem, also known as Marshall Mathers, Chicka chicka chicka. Slim Shady was charged on Wednesday with stealing the rapper's unreleased music and selling it for bitcoin, according to federal prosecutors. Prosecutors Joseph Strange, 46, allegedly sold 25 of Eminem's unfinished songs to a Canadian man he met on the Internet in exchange for 50,000 worth of Bitcoin, according to the criminal complaint filed in Michigan on Wednesday. Prosecutors alleged that Strange stole the songs from Effigy, Eminem's music studio that's based in Michigan and the Strange work for Eminem between 2007 and 2021. Quoting them here. It's important for people to understand that a criminal complaint is merely a set of allegations signed by the prosecutor and publicized by a press release. That does make a good point, and that's exactly what a lawyer would say that's representing this guy. We haven't even been in the courtroom yet, let alone had the allegations tested by a judge or jury. That's where these allegations belong now. In a statement provided by the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday, a spokesperson from Eminem said the significant damage caused by a trusted employee to M M's artistic legacy and creative integrity cannot be overstated, let alone the enormous financial losses incurred by many of the creators and collaborators that deserve protection for their decades of work. A representative for Eminem did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Strange is being charged with criminal infringement of a copyright and interstate transportation of stolen goods for leaking the songs without Eminem's consent. According to the complaint, the charges come after employees at the rapper's music studio discovered some of Eminem's unreleased music was available on online platforms including YouTube and Reddit. Go figure. This triggered an FBI investigation. According to the court documents, Strange is allegedly heavily involved with bitcoin and bitcoin mining and according to the witnesses interviewed in the complaint, would only accept payment for the music in crypto. Strange faces up to five years in prison and a fine of a quarter million if convicted. Obviously it's all allegations right now on the charge of criminal copyright infringement and faces the maximum penalty up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the charge of interstate transportation of stolen goods. In 2002, the number of tracks on his Eminem show album were being sold online. Now that was actually one of my favorite Eminem albums. It brings back memories. That was around the time after I graduated high school. FYI. I graduated class of 2001. So anyways and on the street by Pirates before the intended release date, forcing the rapper to move up the album's release to minimize the financial losses. So there you have it. What are your thoughts on that? And I guess you got to be very careful who you keep in your inner circle, especially when you have that level of influence and people can make money off of your creation. In this case, his music pretty while but not surprised. I mean this probably happens quite often, I would assume with music leaking. Right? That's how so much music does leak in the first place. But next Story of the day Family here's the latest with the Trumpster Not Donald, but Eric. He joins Meta Planet Strategic Board of Investors let's get her Bitcoin stack and firm Meta Planet appointed US President Trump's son Eric to its newly established Strategic Board of Advisor Advisors to further Meta Planet's mission to become the global leader of the Bitcoin economy.

Acumen Love the bitcoin community and global hospitality perspective with the invaluable and accelerating Meta Planet's vision of becoming the world's leading bitcoin treasury companies. Let's go. They also added As a globally recognized business leader and entrepreneur, Eric Trump brings a wealth of experience in real estate, finance, brand development and strategic business growth and has become a leading voice and advocate of digital asset adoption worldwide. So this is a big news. I mean Trump's one of the biggest names in the world, if not the biggest name in the world. So I think this was a very fantastic move on behalf of Meta Planet. Definitely going to get a lot of attention now. The move is part of Meta Planet's plan to establish a board of influential voices, speakers and thought leaders around the world who are committed to furthering Bitcoin adoption. Yo, Meta Planet CEO Simon, reach out to the Nipinator. He's all about bitcoin adoption. We got your back Brosi. Meta planet shares increased 17.8% to 4,730 Japanese yen, which is $31.74 USD over the first 80 minutes of the March 21 trading day on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. And as you can see, here's the official announcement from the CEO of Meta Planet, Simon Meta Planet. Thrilled to welcome Trump to our newly formed Strategic Board of Advisors. And his business expertise and passion for the bitty will help drive our mission towards as we continue building one of the world's leading Bitcoin treasury companies. And here's a photo of them together. Rocking. It looks like a Meta Planet hat, but I can't read it. Nice orange hats here in the suits. Meta planet currently holds 3,050 bitty worth nearly 4.1 billion, making it the 12th largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Bitbo's Bitcoin Treasuries.net data shows the Japanese Japanese based investment firm is set to target and accumulate at least 10,000bitcoin before the end of this year. And Simon's firm has purchased 1288 bitties over the first 11 or so weeks of this year, a substantial rise in pace compared to last year, but not quite on track to reach the ambitious target. The company has been adopting a range of financial instruments to bolster its bitcoin reserve since it made its first purchase on April 23 last year. Meanwhile, Eric Trump has been a key contributor to the Trump family World Liberty financial crypto platform, which completed its second token sale in March of 2025, bringing its total funding to $550 million. The Trump affiliated platform, World Liberty currently holds 80.8 million worth of crypto assets. And FYI, they definitely distance themselves from World Libert because if you go to the website they reworded everything so they're distancing themselves from it, which is a smart move. They should have never involved themselves in the first place. But I digress. The President's son also recently revealed that his personal crypto holdings include Bitcoin, Ether, Salana and Sui. So again, Eric Trump announced having bitcoin, Ether, Salana and Sui on a personal level. And if you don't know now you know. Let's go. Yeah, Bitcoin superpower of the world, making America. That was according to Trump as he gave that speech at the White House just the other day. We covered it on yesterday's pod. Let's dive deeper into that and then we'll dive into our feature story discussing the United States government trading gold notes for bitcoin, which is a neutral way where they don't have to use the taxpayer money to purchase the bitcoin, which is pretty bullish, obviously. So yeah, here's the latest with Trump wanting to make the United States the bitcoin superpower of the world. US President Trump wants to make his country a bitcoin superpower. Let me know if you watched the speech he gave. It was less than three minutes, but nonetheless very profound. Hence why it was our feature story yesterday. Speaking at the Block Works Digital Asset Summit March 20, he shared together will make America the undisputed bitcoin superpower and the crypto capital of the world. The US Crypto industry has benefited greatly from preferential executive orders coming out of the Trump White House, including the establishment of the strategic Bitcoin reserve, a move advocates regard as a key metric for bitty adoption. However, many other countries, including major U S trade partners, are just not ready to take on Bitcoin as a reserve asset, begging the question of who the US is competing against to become a Bitcoin superpower. That's right, compared to major trade partners and geopolitical rivals, the U S is certainly far ahead of the game in terms of video adoption. Neither the European Union, China, Mexico nor Canada have taken such drastic steps towards institutionalizing the bitty. China, the US's largest trade partner by far and also its most prominent geopolitical opponent, has taken a strong stance against the asset, initially banning it outright before softening its approach slightly. China now allows mining operations but strictly prohibits the use of Bitcoin. And overall, the government has preferred to concentrate its efforts on developing a retail central bank digital currency in the form of the digital un. The European Union, another major US trade partner, passed its Markets and Crypto Assets regulatory framework in May 2023, which came into full implementation by member States.

At the end of 2024. While the EU is ahead of the U S in terms of passing concrete legislation, it offers far less preferential terms to the industry than those expected in the U S. Parallel legislation currently circulating in Congress. Crypto user penetration in the EU is expected to remain essentially stagnant this year, and crypto's popularity is low overall amongst its wealthiest economies, which is mind boggling. No member state has a bitcoin reserve. Even in crypto friendly Switzerland, which saw 52 billion in U S service exports last year, there are limits to crypto endorsement and adoption. On March 1, the Swiss national bank president said bitcoin wasn't suitable as a reserve asset, citing stability, liquidity concerns and security risks. And lizard folk, Germany's central bank chief also dismissed the idea of a bitcoin reserve, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney previously criticized bitcoin as being poor form of money. Again, I mean, what do you expect from lizard folk? Related Canada's new liberal prime minister means for Crypto. South Korea doesn't really feel ready to hold bitcoin as reserve asset. With the bank of Korea stating that bitcoin is volatile and does not meet international monetary funding standards. Again, what do you expect from the lizard folk? However, North Korea is now holding like over 200,000 Bitcoin as they continue to continue to do their hacks. Critics have questioned the strategic value of the US Bitcoin reserve and who it benefits in the long run. Cornell economist professor says this is neither a strategic nor sensible idea. I'd expect nothing less from the professor of these universities who basically are mouthpieces for the lizard folk, but I think you guys catch my drift. But the bitcoin strategic reserve does neither of these, he says. And there is no great demand among Americans for bitcoin. That's how you know it's FUD saying nobody in the United States there's no demand for bitcoin. Are you me? The president of the free world understands there's a demand for it. So who cares what these stupid university professors really have to think Now Charles Edwards wrote this is the most underwhelming and disappointing outcome we could have expected for the week, but also not surprising. Looks like no tangible Bitcoin strategic reserve in 2025. No act of buying means. This is just a fancy title for bitcoin holdings that already exist with the government. This is a pig in lipstick. However, we also have to consider there's net neutral ways where they don't have to use the taxpayer dollars to accumulate the bitcoin. Here we go. Now for our feature story of the day. Government can realize gains on goal certificates to buy bitcoin. And this is according to Bo Hines. That's right. As you can read here in the headline, if it's budget neutral and doesn't cost the taxpayers a dime, we'll see whatever creative ideas we can come up with. And you already know Michael Saylor probably came up with 101 ideas for the US government to do just that. And one of the many ways is get rid of the fake gold, AKA the gold derivatives, AKA the gold certificates and trade it for the hardest asset in human existence, bitcoin. And here someone wrote sell gold, buy bitcoin. Shout out to the BTC archive the Trump administration's budget neutral way to buy billions of dollars of bitcoin as broken out here Eleanor Tourette and it looks like Jackie, but they actually have a conversation about that and it's very viable way. And Sailor already proposed that to Trump. And then Max Kaiser wrote as predicted, bitcoin is the monetizing gold. You damn right. So yeah, the Trump Admin appears poised to grow strategic Bitcoin reserve after the White House Crypto Council had suggested budget neutral ways for acquiring the digital asset. There's been countless ideas about the government and how it can acquire more bitcoin, bo Hinds, executive Director of the President Council of Advisors on Digital Assets, said in a recent interview in the Crypto in America podcast. Perhaps the best way of doing so would be to realize the gains on the government's goal certificates, which are priced far less than bullion is actually worth today. I'll actually point you to Cynthia Lummis's Bitcoin act of 2025, in which she believes that we can identify the real true value of some of these gold certificates. If we actually realize the gains on those holdings, that would be a budget neutral way to acquire more bitcoin. Bada boom, bada bing, bada boom. But a bitcoin and as of the Federal Reserve bank of St. Louis explains all goal certificates held at the Fed banks are computed at a statutory price of 42.22 cents per troy ounce. That's crazy because right now on the spot market, gold is going for $3,000 an ounce. I mean, to me it means there's more gold being sold than actually exists. Hence derivatives. Not a good look. Senator Lummis proposed the bitcoin act of 2025, listing the Federal Reserve System goal certificates as one source of funding for bitcoin purchases. Let's go. If it doesn't cost the taxpayers a dime, let's make her happen. Captain. The bill requires the Fed Bank's tender all outstanding gold certificates in their custody to the Treasury Secretary so the Secretary can issue the new certificates.

There that reflect the fair market value price of the gold held against such certificates by the Treasury. Hines said he is open to any ideas about how to grow the reserve. So as long as it doesn't cost a taxpayer a dime. That's the key. That's the Crux of the budget neutral strategies for acquiring bitcoin laid out by President Trump's March six executive order. So all of you fudsters saying the United States can't purchase any, they're not going to purchase anything, blah blah blah, you're wrong. They are absolutely going to do so. They're not stupid. And with all the interagency working group actors that will convene in these meetings, I mean we are going to hear some tremendous ideas about how we can do it. I just don't want the box us in yet what we actually looks like because I want to be able to hear from everybody including the nipinator new chairman of the FCC. The US government currently holds roughly 207000 of the Bitcoin seized in the criminal and civil proceedings. Ain't that ironic? The stolen bitcoin gets stolen by the government and the government still has roughly a hundred thousand bitcoin belonging to Bitfinex. When you're going to return it, u. S government, let me know. And during the interview Hines reiterated the bitcoin special status suggesting the White House crypto council was treating the strategic reserve and digital asset stockpile very differently. Quoting them here. The reason we structure the bitcoin strategic reserve the way we did is because bitcoin is different facts. I'm glad they recognize that it is unique. It is a commodity, not a security. David Sachs likes to say it has the immaculate conception. I like that. Meaning there is no issuer. It has intrinsic stored value and is traditionally accepted store value as well. We wanted to make that distinction between the stockpile and the reserve. Hell yeah. The bitcoin strategic reserve you never sell, you huddle for eternity. The crypto stockpile, I mean who really cares? The White House rushed to defend bitcoin special status shortly after announced plans for the digital asset stockpile which included a smattering of large cap alts which I believe is like xrp, cardano and ether and there may have been one other. Even commerce secretary Howard Lutnick clarified bitcoin would be treated differently for the rest of the alts listed. That's right, because the pretty little bitty is in a asset class of itself and there's no comparing it to any of these altcoins and even Trumpster is recognizing that. So kudos to his administration. In addition, the bitcoin acquisition targets the Trump admin is making significant headway on crypto legislation through the bipartisan cooperation. According to Representative Ro Kana, California Dem Congress should be able to pass the stablecoin bill and crypto market structure bill this year in 2025. And if you don't know now you know. So you tell me this. Do you think the United States will actually follow through with this plan of budget neutral ways to buy billions of dollars worth of bitcoin by selling their gold certificates for the apex predator and as predicted, bitcoin demonetizing gold in real time. You guys let me know your thoughts and I'm going to leave you with a Max Kaiser quote. Gold is the poor man's bitcoin. I repeat, especially for you Peter Schiff, gold is the poor man's bitcoin. And if you don't know now you know broskis. And with that being shared. Welcome everyone to the Q A segment of the live stream. JV here still live in in the flesh hour two of the stream.
