Assembled in Flint, Hamtronneck, Michigan and Fort Wayne, Indiana of US and globally sourced parts of course and we'll pull up some of the live charts and share the latest of what's happening in the market. Bitcoin trader says 1075 vital zone for the new all time highs. Oh my God jv. Are you promoting a get rich quick Ponzi scheme? The YouTube overlords. That's pretty much what they're thinking right now. Bitcoin continued to target liquidity into the June 4th Wall street open as 106 remain the focus. That's right, focus. Like the locust trading view showed bitcoin fluctuating at around 106. Oh my go. JV is getting crazy with the predictions again taking out liquidity on either side. The day prior had seen a spike to 107 which succeeded, neutralizing the shorts with a subsequent dip doing the same to the cloud of the bids near 105. Traders thus look for the repeat for the behavior prior to the breakout from the narrow local range as King Fisher shared right here. Let's clean up those bitcoin shorts. They shall meet their God. Oh no. JB's pushing longs. He's gonna help get the the shorters wrecked. We should do something about that now. Data from Coin Glass show liquidity thickening at 1045 and 1075 at the same time as per the heat map. McAlvin Day Pop shared this why this level is so vital for the biddy. No breakout above it yet, but if it happens we're all the way towards a new all time. Oh my God. JV called for a new all time high in his video. He's promoting an illegal positive scheme at bitcoin. Oh no. Going to do 3,000 for ETH. Bitcoin continues to trade range bound with light positioning and a normalized SK suggesting little directional conviction according to QCP. Quoting them here, Looking ahead, Q3 could prove more challenging. Tariff related impacts may begin filtering into the macro. In the absence of a clear catalyst, Bitcoin is unlikely to break materially out of the current range. Meanwhile, the US employment data in the form of non farm payroll numbers was due towards the end of the week. A steady NFP would cement the Fed's narrative a resilient labor market reinforcing expectations that rates remain on hold according to qcp. Now quoting the High Priest Bitcoin, your Holiness Max Kaiser. First, let's read the post from Trump on Truth Social which was then shared on X. I am very pleased to announce that after all these years I agree with Senator Elizabeth Warren. No way. And pigs can fly something. The debt limit should be entirely scrapped to prevent an economic catastrophe. It is a devastation to be put in the hands of the political people that may want to use it, despite the horrendous effects it could have on our country and indirectly the world. As Senator Warren's second statement on $4 trillion, I like that also, but it would have to be done over a period of time as short as possible. Let's get together Republican and Democrat and do this. This is in regards to Senator Warren's post. Let's pass a bipartisan bill and get rid of it forever. Well, here's what Max had to share. Employee of the month Mr. Potus Trump's pumping his bitcoin bags with his invite the print to the death. 2.2 million incoming. Let's get it. I shout out your high priest Max Kaiser now Also breaking news. 4 trillion dollar JP Morgan just announced the offer clients financing against Bitcoin ETFs. But we just got to put it on the record. Don't forget to who Jeffrey Epstein's banking firm was J.P. morgan. And let's not forget about the 20,000 tons of cocaine found on a J.P. morgan cargo ship. I got the proof and receipts. I posted them earlier on Max Profile. I mean and let's not forget this was quoting Jamie Diamond a few years back. It's worse than tulip bulbs. It won't end well. Someone is going to get killed. Currencies have legal support. It's just gonna blow up. Diamond also said he'd fire in a second Any JP Morgan trader who is trading Bitcoin for two reasons. It's against our rules and they are stupid. This is the level of retardation we're dealing with. JP Morgan, the largest bankster banking cartel in the United States. And of course their CEO is Jamie the Tapeworm Diamond. He's a man on the take, very corrupt. He is a billionaire and very powerful man. But he is a lizard folk and just gotta point that out. And what else is trending here? Elon wrote call your senator, call your congressman. Bankrupting America's not okay. So I wrote hence why I'm all in on the pity. I welcome the fiat Bond apocalypse with open arms. Keep printing. We don't need no water. Let the burn burn, burn, burn. How do you like those apples? Here you're looking at the one hour chart rising Wedgie green target. We have the target sitting inverted head and shoulders currently on the hourly sitting at 109 so 109. 3,000 shy of price discovery which was the all time high set on May 22nd.

Four hour chart live and in the flesh. A little live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction for the Baddies. We also have a green target. We do have a bullish pennant 116 3. Obviously that would take us back to Price Discovery which is the most exciting time of the season. And we'll be right back there shortly before you could say Nipinator three times out loud. And zooming out for the daily. Let's see here. No particular bull targets but zooming out from there. We're going to take a look at a weekly now we're midweek hump day. Happy Wednesday cna. We don't play. It's the bitcoin slang and as you can see rising wedgie bull scenario formation sensation cup and handle 124 next leg up. Oh my God. JV is out of control with these predictions. Let's just terminate his channel once and for all for good. Oh my God. He's going for 124. It's unacceptable. That's like Senator Elizabeth Warring watching my stream right now and checking out the monthly. You can see obviously May and April we had green candle closes and thus far for the month of June though we're only four days in already forming a green. I think the bullish momentum is likely to continue though there is no guarantee. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme, ladies and gents. And it may, you may have to Hollow for four years to double, triple, quadruple or 10 extra money. But that's bitcoin for you. That's what the history shows us. The history does show us. If you've been huddling for four years or longer, you're in the green. And there isn't a single bitcoiner who held their bitcoin stash for more than four years that has an unrealized loss. Why is that? Because they're all winners. But that's just what the history shows us. This show is for entertainment purposes only. But anyways we're going to continue with a bitty news next up as we continue with the headlines here regarding South Korea I believe. Let's see. Yep. South Korea media Firm to raise 500 million to start their own bitcoin treasury which is a trend we've been seeing. South Korean entertainment company K Wave Media entered into a security purchase agreement with up to a half a billion to fund a bitcoin centric crypto treasury reserve we called the Biddy Reserve. K Wave reached the agreement with the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve KWM for the sale of up to 500 million of ordinary shares. The fund the Bitcoin treasury according to the announcement quoting them here. By embedding bitcoin into our core strategy, we're reinforcing our commitment to decentralization, agility and future facing value creation. The company said it aims to become the meta planet of Korea which saw the stock soar after adopting a similar Bitcoin focused strategy inspired by business intelligence company strategy Mikey Sailor's company and you can see their stock is currently trading at $54 for the K Wave Media and shout out Mr. Corvette Deuces fam. You guys are the best and of course chandy10 greatly appreciate the supers and all of your guys support y' all. The bomb diggity Just gonna say it. Proceeds from the deal will be used to fund the K Wave Media's Bitcoin centric digital asset treasury strategy suggesting it may purchase other cryptos in addition to Bitcoin mistake. K Wave Media also intends to use the funds for mergers and acquisitions to expand the content and K Pop related businesses. Still, Bitcoin is front and center of those plans quoting them here. Under this initiative, K Wave will subject to certain limitations, allocate a significant portion of the proceeds received from the sale of any shares under the facility to the purchasing long term holding and yield optimization of the pretty little bitty going up forever JV. The company also plans to operate a Bitcoin lightning node to invest in infrastructure that facilitates on chain transaction rewards of decentralization. K Wave Media is the latest of the growing list of public companies embracing the prelo biddy as a corporate reserve treasury asset. The trend began with microstrategy back in 2020. The first publicly traded company to put a video on the balance sheet. Mikey Sailor ain't playing no games and now he has close to like 3% of the entire circulating supply. Do you think that man's a slowing down? No, he said he's buying the top forever because it's going up forever, Laura. And if you don't know Laura, now you know. And Nipinator, where are you at? Give it up for the nip. But yeah, there's the latest so let's continue with a bitty news, shall we? Next story we got to discuss. We did. Did we discuss California? I don't think so. Let's start here. California passes the bill to accept crypto for state payments. Let's go Cali. California Love Assembly Bill 1180 passed the California State Assembly June 2 with a 68. 0 vote on the third reading. Would require the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation to develop rules permitting state fees and transactions under the Digital Financial Asset Law to the payable make it payable in crypto the DPEI is California's regulatory agency tasked with overseeing financial services protecting consumers while promoting responsible innovation individuals and entities conducting crypto business activities in the state I think you're on mute Workday starting to sound the same. I think you're on mute. Find something that sounds better for your career on LinkedIn with LinkedIn job collections you can browse curated collections by relevant industries and benefits like Flexpto or Hybrid Workplaces so you can find the right job for you. Get started@LinkedIn.com jobs finding where you fit. LinkedIn knows how must obtain a license from the DFPI as per the BIDI law now in Play. Now if AB 1180 clears the Senate and is signed by the governor Gavin Newsom, everyone's least favorite governor, the bill would become effective July 1, 2026, according to the bill sponsor, Democratic Assembly Member Alavino Valencina. What a name. The pilot program would run until January 1, 2031 and then it would become fully operational. And if the AB 1180 is passed, California would join the likes of Florida, Colorado and Louisiana. That would be a kitchen accepted for the crypto payments for the certain obligations for the recent years. California's bill will require the DFPI to submit the report January 1, 2028 gives them a three year span detailing the crypto transactions process in addition to any technical regulatory challenges encountered. Crypto transactions under the DFL are defined as the digital representation of the value that is used as a medium of exchange but not legal tender. That's a very important detail. AB 1180 saw four amendments before being passed by the California I A Assembly June 2. The most notable exclusion concerned a section that sought to define terms related to the ride sharing companies and personal vehicles used for transportation services. AB 1180 seeks to complement AB 1052 notice. The sage Bitcoin Rights Bill almost sounds like a B52 Bang Bang Bang which is focused on laying out the crypto crypto self custody rights for 40 million of the residents. AB 1052 has passed the first assembly committee with a unanimous 11 to 0. My favorite number I dare say vote on May 23rd has been ordered for the third reading. The third time's the charm, they say. The bill would also be deemed to use the digital financial assets to our valid legal form of the payment for the private transactions and would prohibit the public entities from restricting the taxing of the digital assets solely based on the use of as a payment. Very important. The total of 117 merchants currently accept Bitcoin payments in California, according to the Bitcoin maps. And if you don't know, now you know. All right. Next door, yo. Regarding the Trumpster Trumpinator, Trump linked asset manager files the Truth Social bitcoin ETF with the SEC won't let me be. Let Trump be free. Please set him free so he can stack a little freaking BTC for the USA and be like me. U S President Trump's sprawling crypto empire could grow even larger as filing show plans for the bitcoin ETF branded with his social media platform Truth Social. And by a show of hands, let me know how many of you are actually on Truth Social Stock Exchange NYSE arca. File for the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF with a securities and Exchange Commission. And speaking of the sec, shout out to your former chairman Nippony on behalf of the crypto asset manager Yorkville American digital partner of the true social owner Trump Media and Technology Group. And if you don't know, maybe now you know. Trump is a majority owner of the Trump Media but moved his shares into a trust. And FYI, all wealthy smart people own nothing and control everything through trust. That includes Trump. That includes the Rockefellers, that includes the Rothschilds and every wealthy family on the planet. They don't play by the same set of rules that the plebs play by. And if you don't know, look into it. Just saying. But anyway, the ETF seeks to list on the NYSE ARCA exchange and track the price of the biddy. The filing did not disclose the management fee or the ticker, but listed Forest Tax Trust Company, the custodian of Crypto.com's asset. Proposed custodian. According to Eric Balchunas, Trump's company just filed with a true Social Bitcoin ETF which will track the spot Bitcoin listed on the NYSE. Baby, baby. If approved, the Trump Link ETF enters the crowded Bitcoin ETF market of a 11, the best number in the world. Similar funds dominated by Black Rock. It could also add Trump's controversial ties to the crypto. Critics say there's a conflict of interest with his presidential duties. They've been accused of Trump profiting from the presidency. How dare he earn a nickel being your potus? And you know what I mean, being president, it's unacceptable. When Biden was our potus, he was unwilling to accept a dime. He just did it for free. He's a great guy. The Biden family. Look at Hunter. I mean, Trump and his family have ties to an increasingly growing number of crypto projects. Would include NFT collections, meme coins, Stable Coins, Crypto mining companies and a crypto platform platform with his own Trump token which is literally T R U M P. Even Melania has her own token. The the only one missing out is Baron the Time Traveler DTF Filing comes after Trump Media signing agreement in April with the Yorkville American Digital with crypto.com for the Made in America crypto ETFs. The 19B4 filing of the True Social Bitcoin ETF effectively initiates the SEC's review process. According to the NIP, it must decide whether to accept, reject or delay the application within the next 45 days. The new McCrispy Strip is here Dip approved by Ketchup Tangy Barbecue Honey Mustard, honey mustard Sprite, McFlurry Big Mac Sauce, Double dipped in Buffalo and Ranch more Ranch and creamy chili mc crispy strip dip now at McDonald's. I'll come back like Jordan wearing the fo5. It can delay the decision multiple times for maximum Review period of 240 days. Happy 420 to the Broskis if we swap out the two with the four. Just saying. The SEC must decide on the application by January 29th of next year. They got all the time in the world. Yorkville also needs to file the S1 registration. Fill out your paperwork. Trump Media also filed for the truth 5 bitcoin + ETF back in February, which could receive a portion of the 250 million allocated to the fintech platform Truth Fi. Meanwhile, Trump Media is also looking to integrate the Crypto Notive Token wallet into the video streaming Truth plus the Social CEO Devin Nunez shared We're exploring the introduction of a utility token within the Trump Digital Wallet that can initially be used for the pay for the Truth plus subscription costs and later be applied to the other products and services for the Truth Ecosphere. Trump Media first signaled the plan for the potential crypto payment venture last November when it filed the infamous trademark app with US Patent and Trademark Offer Office Building the Digital Asset Wallet, allowing the payments to be processed on the Truth Phi. And if you don't know, maybe you'll never know. At this point I don't know what else to tell you ladies, but anyways, next story of the day fam I appreciate all the support guys. In all seriousness, U S Military Leadership to Back Bitcoin Strategic reserve According to Ms. Cynthia Lummis that's right, Cynthia Lummis indicated that certain divisions within the American military military are backing the idea of the National Bitcoin Reserve to address threats from the economic wars. During a Bloomberg interview. Lummis said that some U S generals, especially those based in Southeast Asia, support the idea of the storing the video as a part of the strategic geopolitical move quitting her here all we need to do is look at the leadership of the current U S military to find support for the bitcoin strategic reserve. She also added, these are generals, especially in the Southeast Asia who believe it's important to have a strategic bitty stockpile because doing an economic war with China and we have to prepare for the guns and the bullets for war. We do need both, but we do need both, she said. Her remarks came during a segment about the tensions between China and the US as the country has been at the center of the Trump administration trade war. Trump's tariffs initially applied to the most U.S. trading partners, but the admin later suspended many of them. Expect those targeting changes. The two nations eventually reach a temporary trade deal, easing the tensions. That's right, Trump has been vocal about making the US the world capital of the crypto and his second term of the White House. If we don't do it, China is going to pick it up and China is going to have it or somebody else, but most likely China. While campaigning in 2024, China has implemented a comprehensive ban on the crypto activity since 2021 while still betting on blockchain tech to power the project, such as the central bank digital currency, the digital un oh boy. Now, speaking of Bitcoin 2025, U. S Vice President J.D. vance emphasized geopolitical importance of the biddy and according to JD The U S must sustain the leadership of the crypto industry to remain and yet to remain competitive for the new digital financial landscape. And if you don't know, maybe now you may know. Now for our feature story of the day, Pakistan Reveals Bitcoin Reserve Plan to Trump's Crypto Team over at the White House. Shout out to the bitcoin team for holding it down. That's right, let's break her down. Pakistan's Minister of State for Crypto and blockchain Bilal met with Robert Bo Hines, Executive Director of the U S Presidential Donald Trump's Council on Digital Assets, during the recent White House visit. The meeting focused on boosting cooperation between Pakistan and the United States in the digital asset space. Discussions covered a broad range of the topics, including bitcoin, potential partnerships and future decentralized finance. According to the report by 24 News HD TV, one key area of dialogue was Pakistan's newly announced strategic bitcoin reserve. Quoting them here it is my Mission to position Pakistan as a global leader in digital assets. And he actually did speak at the recent Vegas conference announcing the Pakistan strategic bitty reserve. That's the man on the right that we're discussing from Pakistan and on the left that's Bo Hines over at the White House. Now from launching our strategic bitty reserve to unlocking a national interest infrastructure for crypto mining and AI data zones, Pakistan is building the real framework for the digital asset adoption and economic modernization. Heinz, appointed by Trump earlier in the year lead u. S Policy on digital assets and works alongside council chairman David Sachs. The Trump admin has signaled a strong interest in positioning the United States as the global leader in the bitcoin space. That's right. Now check it. He also met with the White House council beyond the White House meeting meeting officials from White House council office to discuss the legal framework surrounding the blockchain governance. Oh, such a clutch pickup, Dave. I was worried we'd bring back the same team. I meant Those blackout motorized shades lines.com made it crazy affordable to replace our old blinds. Hard to install? No, it's easy. I installed these and then got some for my mom too. She talked about to a design consultant for free and scheduled a professional measure and install hall of fame son. They're the number one online retailer of custom window coverings in the world. Blinds.com is the goat. The goat save up to 50% with minimum purchase at blinds.com rules and restrictions may apply. Pakistan's broader crypto strategy includes plans to allocate 2,000 megawatts of surplus power towards mining bitcoin as well as AI data zones. The goal is to transform unused energy into digital productivity, create jobs and expand the national infrastructure. Now the country is also developing a regulatory framework for digital assets. On May 21st Pakistan's Ministry of finance endorsed the creation of a dedicated body to regulate blockchain based financial infrastructure in the country. Now the Pakistan digital assets authority will serve as a regulatory body to oversee licensing and regulating exchanges, custodians, wallets, tokenized platform stable coins and decentralized finance applications. Now on May 31st the IMF and speaking of them, the IMF raised concerns of a Pakistan's decision to allocate 2000 megawatts of electricity for bitcoins, mining and AI. So ultimately they're spreading FUD because their worst fear is another country adopting bitcoin as a legal tender or establishing a bitcoin strategic reserve. So the IMF is going to continue to FUD countries until the wheels fall off because that's their ultimate mission. They're not here to help any of you. You. They're here to fud bitcoin. Because their biggest fear is the domino effect of countries around the world adopting the bitcoin. The global game theory. The global hash war, which Max Kaiser coined many years back. Playing out in real time. And if you don't know, now you know. But there you have it. Yo, Pakistan. Strategic bitty reserve. Let's freaking go. We're going to continue with the uncensored version of the pod, exclusive on the Rumble and X. So if you're on YouTube, you ain't got to go home. We gotta get the out of here.
