So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at cryptonewsalerts.net again that's crypto news alerts.net but anyways, today is pod episode 2001. I'm your host JV. It's May 24, 2025. Happy sat stacking Saturday. Let's kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every made. Yeah, Bitcoin just recaptured 109 at the time of the live stream. We have XRP in the green, BNB in the green, Ether flatline on the day, Solana, Cardano, Tron and the bulk of the alt market correcting. And in the red and check it out. Coinmarketcap.com the current crypto market cap sits at $3.42 trillion. Bitcoin market cap $2.165 trillion. 101 billion worth of volume in the past 24 hours. And we have a bitcoin dominance back on a rise 63.2 with ether dominance at 9% even. And even McEven. That is not Steven, but even McEven. And checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. We got helium leading the pack of 5% followed by hyper liquid. And speaking of hyper liquid, we're going to be discussing the OG Trader with the 1.25 40x long right now. And ave is up 2% but very modest gains in the grand scheme of things. Because considering the bulk of the market's correcting right now and in the red and checking out the crypto bubbles, we get a visual perspective. Let's start on the day and we'll work our way back. I'd say maybe 85 of the market in the red today. And zooming out on the weekly, we'll flip it 85 in the green. And zooming out for the monthly very similar. Maybe 90 of the market in the green. Overall pretty bullish for the past maybe seven weeks. And checking out the crypto greed and fear index. Today we're 66 greed, yesterday 78 extreme greed last week of 74. And last month a 63. And check it out, the infamous time chain calendar. We're currently on block number 151 844. I'm sorry, that's how many blocks until the next having of course in 2028 we're actually on block. The big number you see on your screen, 898156. We're soon going to be at block height 1.1 million. I can smell it. And you can currently exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 918 sats. So pick up the sats, put down the gats, pick up some bitcoin caps from my man Sergio over at bitcoincaps Net. And if you don't know, now you know. Will Bitcoin bull secure 110before the Bitcoin 13.8 billion worth of options expiry? Let's break her down, shall we? Bitcoin's approaching its largest monthly options expiry of the year, with a total expos reaching 13.8 billion. This event gives the bulls a chance to secure Bitcoin's price above 110 as bears were cut off guard by 25% rally over the past 30 days. Not too shabby. The open interest at a Bitcoin put option stands at six and a half billion, but 95% of those positions are set below 109. Therefore, if Bitcoin's price holds near the current levels, less than 350 million worth of the put options will remain relevant at expiry. Conversely, the open interest in bitcoin options up to 109,000 totals 3.8 billion.

Bank of America Corporation still, this imbalance does not mean every call option Hodler was betting on the biddy rise. Some traders may have sold these options as a way to hedge their exposure above certain price levels. And amongst the most significant option strategies traded at deribit in the past two weeks is the infamous short call shout out Shortcoin by the way, which is often used by investors seeking a fixed income return as long as the bitcoin price stays above a particular threshold. Similarly, the bull call spread strategy hedges against the downside risk by sacrificing the gains above a certain price. So Bitcoin maintains above 109. Ironic enough, the exact level we're at at the time of this live stream, the most bullish strategy should deliver positive results in the May options expiry, so we're looking good in the hood. However, the bears may try to influence the bitty futures markets to limit their losses as the expiry date fast approaches. The total open interest and bitcoin futures is currently 79 billion showing strong demand for the short position. Still this strategy could backfire if Bitcoin rises above 110 as the bears might be forced to close their positions. Net inflows of 1.9 billion into the US Bitcoin ETFs which we'll dive into deeper a little later in the stream. There's been a lot of volume which is another good indicator but anyways I'm not going to break down all the targets for the likes and the puts but bottom line new all time highs in Play. We're only 3k shy of price discovery. Now for some breaking news where we pull up some of the bitty charts. 21 CEO Jack Mers says his company could raise billions of dollars by 1 million. Bitcoin, that's what's up. Supply shock are coming and they have the means to do so. I mean it's backed by the lik of Cantor Fitzgerald multi billion dollar asset management giant as well as what's it called Tether. Last I looked their market cap was literally like north of 150 billion. But don't take my word for it. Let's look at coin market cap and let's verify, verify verify verify. Currently the tether market cap. Yep. $152 billion. Would it be a bitty B that is and if you don't know now you know. Yeah but for Some other breaking news. 500000 minimum Pakistan Crypto Chief and there's no high chief quite like Nipinator so give it up for nip. But this guy says the biddy price will hit 500 minimum this year. The countries will have to adopt and go higher. Let me know if you agree disagree with the Pakistani chief. Hey now and Mikey Sailor made this post earlier today. The only thing better than bitcoin. More bitcoin. Precisely. And shout out Max Kaiser. I remember when he did this infamous interview with Dan Campona Stanberry Research and Daniella was so skeptical of Max and bitcoin I'll never forget it. Bitcoin like crashed from like 69 to 16,000 at the time of the the interview and you can just see the disgust in her face around Max's target and belief in bitcoin. And so long story short who else would like to see a new 2025 Bitcoin round of discussion with Max and Daniella? She ultimately said Max, when we hit the 222000 target or 220 whatever it may be, she'll do another interview. I say they do the interview sooner than later. I know Max reposted this. Let me know if you'd like to see a new interview with Daniela Cambone and Max Kaiser. And if you missed this one, it is a classic. I highly encourage you to check it out. It's great. But anyways, let's pull up some of the live charts. Do a little live chart action Jackson Satisfaction, Tony Braxton. Shall we? How many of you remember Tony Braxton? That's a throwback for you. I remember Bo Jackson as well. Bo knows all. Remember he did like the tri sports. You should be able to see live and on your screen. Bitcoin one hour chart. We do have a bitty target I think 116 I dare say. Yep, same as yesterday. Bullish pennant 1163 on the one hour live chart. Live chart action Jackson for the Broskis. Zooming out a little further from here we check out a four hour quattro. You can see here we're having a nice little run here today in the 4 hour green target also sitting pretty at 116 bullish penant 1163 all time high price discovery Again the bulls are saying this is going to happen next week or I should say this upcoming week because it's the weekend Happy sass stack and Saturday bullish pennant formation sensation. And checking out the daily. The daily chart says it's going up forever. Nibinator, give us the next indicator. Yeah, here you go. No particular bull targets here but definitely looking bullish. It's been obviously this has been a hell of a week. All time highs price discovery and currently 112 is the current top. Checking out the weekly we do have a rising wedge and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 green consecutive candles. Tomorrow we'll get that seventh candle close officially in the books we have a rising wedgie, the only wedgie I approve of. And we do have a bull scenario sent at 124 Sexy cup and handle.

And zooming out a little further from there, checking out the monthly as we're fast approaching the end of May, obviously this month has been very bullish already more bullish than the previous month of April. But April was pretty significant and then the two prior months prior was corrective. But now that we have entered Q2 has been pretty bullish, I think the bulls have obviously return. Let me know what you think. Where the price action will likely take us next, especially this upcoming week. Next story of the day. Now we got the TA out of the way. Next. Headline here reads Trump's use of presidential seal at the Meme coin event raises legal questions. Oh no, Trumpster, they're coming for you. President Trump is facing scrutiny in the balcony. What was that film? Scrutiny in the balcony or something like that. Some old school. But anyways, after speaking at the private event for the top investors to his Trump meme coin while standing behind a lectern emblazoned with official presidential seal, a move that may violate the federal law, the event took place Thursday at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia where Trump addressed 220 investors. That's ironic. I think that's a foreshadowing that $220,000 bitcoin price is in play. Send it. And according to the US Law, the presidential seal cannot be used in any manner that could imply government approval or sponsorship violators can face fines of up to six months in prison. She's Trump. Who arrived at the club aboard the military chopper, praised attendees and took aim at the Biden administration's crypto stance. Take that, Biden admin. And when asked about the potential conflicts of interest, the White House press secretary, Caroline Leave it said the president's involvement was personal. It is not a White House dinner, she told reporters. It's not taking place here at the White House. So it's a personal gig. Uh, this wasn't the first time Trump was featured with the presidential seal at his private properties. Forbes previously reported the use of golf markers at several Trump owned clubs. People have too much time on their hands. Yeah. In May 22nd, a letter to the Justice Department, 35 House members asked the Public Integrity Section Acting Chief Edward Sullivan to launch an inquiry over the meme coin dinner to determine whether it violated federal bribery statute or the foreign emoluments clause. Oh my God. Of the US Constitution. Under the M all you clause, the US President is barred from accepting any gift from a foreign state without the approval of Congress. And here's a picture of the Trump dinner. I guess one of the attendees took a picture of. Let me know if that's a five star meal in your opinion. I dig the carrots and I forget what vegetable that is there. I'd go with the carrots. I obviously wouldn't touch the meat or the. What? I don't know what the hell is on that plate, to be quite honest. It looks like a piece of fish actually would have a thing of potatoes and some gravy. Interesting. But anyways, Bloomberg reported the majority of the attendees at the meme Coin dinner were likely foreign nationals based on their connections to the crypto exchanges. Quoting them here, U. S law prohibits foreign persons from contributing to U. S political campaigns. According to the letter, however, the Trump meme coin, including the promotion of the dinner, promising exclusive access to the president, opens the door for foreign governments to buy influence with the president, all without disclosing their identities. For example, Justin's son was one of the attendees. Trump's embrace of the crypto marks a sharp turn from his skepticism during his first term as potus. The Trump meme coin launched earlier in the year, peaking at 74.34 before falling to 14.44 two days ago on May 22. High profile guests at the dinner included Tron founder billionaire Justin sun, ex NBA player Lamar Odom, and Asian crypto executive San Rock o and Vincent Liu. Whoever the hell those two guys are, you tell me, son, who reportedly invested over 40 million in Trump tokens. She's Louise, spoke at the dinner. Hmm. Also has deep ties to the Trump crypto ventures, probably looking for some political favors. I mean, how else could you justify this putting $40 million in the shit coin? It's kind of funny, but yeah. And he's also a top backer of the world Liberty Financial, the Trump affiliated firm. And I would assume if like Bankman Fried wasn't in prison, he would have been at that, that meeting as well, getting his favor on. But you guys let me know your thoughts. Personally, I think Trump should just stick with bitcoin, remove himself from the meme coin and all the other because it's going to drag his name down. Personally, in my opinion, no different than Javier Malay with his Libra rug. Yeah, I mean I have no respect for that guy anymore after that rug pull. And Trump coin wasn't as much of a rug pull. Didn't go to zero or nothing. It's still at 14 bucks. But at the end of the day, it's really not a good look. And if you're not financially benefiting from it, Trump, in which you claim you're not, why even associate your name with it? Why? I I don't get that part like do you really need NFT collection?

Do you really need, you know, your own platform? Do you really need your own cryptocurrency? Do you does your wife real Melania Coin? Did she really need her own meme Coin like just promote Bitcoin like Bukele and I mean simple. Next up, let's discuss them a little more positivity Similar Scientific boost their Bitcoin holdings with a 50 million dollar purchase that's right, the medical device company purchased 50 million with Bitcoin between May 13th and the 22nd, bringing the market value of the company's bitcoin holdings to 474 million, keeping it within the top 13 of the bitcoin treasury companies. And according to the May 23 disclosure, Semler bought a total of 455 BTC for an average purchase price of 109, 800. They bought the top respect of the buy the Bitcoin similar use proceeds from an at the market stock offering program and so far the company has sold roughly 3 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of 115 milli. Similar scientific shares have fallen 1% on the same day as the disclosure, though the decrease of the sharp price is largely in line with NASDAQ performance. That index, which follows top tech stocks is down 1% on the day. You can see they're trading at $444.32. Let me know if any of you got exposure to this particular Stock now in Q1 2025 their earnings report the company revealed 44% drop in revenue year over year. Despite the claim success of the Bitcoin treasury plan, Similar scientific shares have dropped 18% thus far this year. Bitcoin treasury companies that traditionally sell equity or issue debt to buy Bitcoin have been drawing the interest of investors looking for exposure to the Bitcoin price fluctuations. Michael Sailor Strategy debuted its Bitcoin reserve back In August of 2020, first publicly traded company to do so when it started purchasing Bitcoin. Bitcoin is up 181% year to date. Not too shabby. While Similar scientific shares rose 53% since announcing the Bitcoin approach back in May of 2024. So there you have it. And as I mentioned earlier, you also have Jack Muller's company which is bitcoin acquisition a company, a bitcoin treasury company. They say they could raise billions of dollars to buy 1 million bitcoin. I have no doubt in my mind they'll actually do that because they have the ability to do so. And again it's backed by the likes of these multi billion dollar firms. So game on. Next story of the day. Broskis regarding the Texas bill you should be able to see on your screen Texas governor signal support for the Bitcoin reserve bill. That's right. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, the abbot of the Shaolin Temple has signal support for the bill recently passed by the state house representatives that would establish a strategic crypto reserve. That's right. The Texas state lawmakers efforts to create a bitcoin reserve. The story pointed out the decision for the passage, SB 21, the bill in question now rests on Abbott's shoulders roughly three months after it was introduced. Since taking office, Abbott referred to himself as the crypto law proposal supporter in 2021, suggesting he would support policies to establish Texas as a Crypto Capital. In 2024, Texas was one of a handful of state level governments that proposed setting up a strategic crypto reserve after the 2024 federal elections. Now on May 6, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Iota, let's give her a round of applause. Gentlemen. Was the first assigned the bitcoin reserve bill into law. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs later approved the law allowing the state to claim ownership of the unclaimed crypto. But then some jurisdictions rebuffed efforts to pass similar legislation. With roughly half of the 50 state governments considering a bitcoin reserve. Now at the federal level, US President Trumpster signed the executive order back in March for the strategic bitcoin reserve and a digital asset stockpile. But Congress have not codified the order as of May 23rd. Wyoming Senator Ms. Lummis has led efforts in the chamber to pass the boosting innovation, technology and competitiveness through the Optimized Investment Nationwide Bitcoin act reintroduced a few days after Trump's executive order. And as of March 11, the bill has been referred to the Senate Banking Committee and it was unclear if or when the chamber would consider a vote. The Senate will likely first move forward will debate on the bill to regulate the payment stable coins, the Genius act. With some lawmakers anticipating a vote by Memorial Day, which is literally this Monday, I believe May 26th. And if you don't know now you know. Okay, next story of the day we Got two more. I promise we're gonna get to them. Here we go. Next story of the day regarding the ETF flows and then the 1.25 billion 40x long so the Bitcoin ETS posts 2.75 billion and the weekly inflows as the price sits well, we're a little higher now. Currently109 at the time of the live May 23rd, the final day of the trading week. On the Spot Bitty ETFs record to 111.7 million worth of the inflows. BlackRock's eyebit was the only fund to post gains in that trading day, adding 430 million. BlackRock taking over the World At Capella.

Actually they genuinely do control the entire world's financial market if you haven't figured that out by now. Hence why they're the largest asset manager in the world with over like 11 trillion, maybe even 12 trillion of assets under management. But anyways, Grayscale GBT BTC led outflows with 89.2 million followed by ARC21 shares with 73.9 million. Two days before May 21, the Bitcoin ETF saw 607 million in inflows. Same day Bitcoin surpassed 109 for the first time and the following day Bitcoin recorded the all time high which is currently 112 even on Coinbase. Just FYI if you didn't know, now you know. Bitcoin slight price declined over the past 24 hours came and the crypto market sentiment. You know the cryptogredent Fear Index has been back on a rise. We already touched upon that. Crypto analyst Crypto Dan said overheating indicators such as the funding rate and short term capital inflow remain low compared to the previous peaks and the profit taken by the Short term Investors limited. And if you don't know, now you know. And again, welcome anyone to the live stream. All right, the moment you've all been waiting for. Hyper liquid trader James Wynn goes all in on 1.25 billion dollar Biddy loan. That's Right, don't take my word for it. Let me show you the proof of work. Let's start right here. Shout out Vivek, by the way, 1.2 billion. The 40x Bitcoin whale. James Wynn just said bitcoin is going to 121000 next week. So he firmly believes next leg up. And next week ultimately is this upcoming week as it sat stacking Saturday on the weekend. Here's James Wynn Infamous tweet. 110,500 today for Biddy. 118 to 121 next week. My prediction, not financial advice. We call this operation the Bears. Take that Peter Schiffmeister. But yeah, let's read this a little deeper. And this is actually balls of steel. You got to respect it. Well known hyperliquid trader James Wynn had increased his 40x leverage long bitcoin bet to 11 1/4 billion after closing his Pepe position for a 25.2 million dollar profit. So look on chain reported that when entered at an 11588 Bitcoin position, again balls of steel with an average entry price of 108 and a liquidation level of 105. That's the caveat when trading with leverage, the higher that leverage goes the you know less unless volatility will get you liquidated. And he ultimately that's you know, three or $4,000 from today's price action. And he's risking 11588 Bitcoin extreme balls of steel I might add. The move came hours after Wynn exited his ether and sui longs. Smart man at 5.3 million loss. He took the loss there at the time he used proceedings to double down on bitcoin increasing his position to 11,000.70 BTC. Wi began his Bitcoin long position with 830 million. That was the initial position on May 21, which was three days ago. Then he continued up in it trimming 400 million in profits the same day. Then by May 22 the following day he ramped up the position back to 1.1 billion. Another divine omen. My special number 11 there huddle in high leverage as Bitcoin crossed 110,000 hitting the all time high. He gained 39 million on PayPal paper and later sold five hundred and forty Bitcoin for 60 million. So he already secured a 1.5 million profit. And here's some of the proof of work right here. Entry price 40x long. And just disclaimer. If you're going to trade with leverage, do so responsibly as the majority of leverage traders are degens and will absolutely get wrecked. This guy obviously is not a novice, he's a billionaire for a reason. So don't just blindly follow what these guys are doing. Okay? I just want to give you some insights there. WI took a hit following the sharp market downturn triggered by the former President Trump's announcement. Obviously that 50% tariff on the European Union imports did not help that particular position. The news delivered just yesterday send Bitcoin tumbling oh my God. All the way down to 107 and he raised gains across both traditional and crypto markets. Ether also dropped to as low as 2,500 while the meme coins were hit harder. Data from HIPER scan or Hyper scan shows Wynn suffered more than 29 million in losses over the past day. However, he's still up more than 57 million in all time trading and for you can't win them all. Note that as a trader by the way and 46 million over the past month alone. So more into the high stakes Crypto trader Wynn is a high stakes trader who describes himself as high risk leverage trader in a meme coin maxi. He also claims to have called Pepe a buy when the market cap was only selling 600,000, so obviously got rich there as well. The crypto whale started using hyper liquid two months ago which is the platform depositing 4.6 million worth of stablecoin USDC onto the platform. Hyper Liquids decentralized platform is a flagship product on the hyperliquid layer 1 blockchain which also offers spot trading and borrowing and lending services amongst other things.

Notably, Wynn's aggressive leverage amplifies his exposure to volatility and with Bitcoin trading near 109, any sharp move downward could threaten the position. And again, as mentioned here, he's all ultimately calling for this week. Coming up 118 to 121. It'll be a fantastic win for him. Ironic enough for the man, Mr. Wynn. And there you have it. Do you think he'll likely win that or get liquidated. It's probably going to be one or the other. He either hits the target or gets liquidated. Either way, you guys, let me know your thoughts. And would you ever, let's hypothetically say you were a billionaire. Would you ever risk 11,000bitcoin on a 40x long? I'm curious. Let me know and I'll read your comments out loud.
