Today is June 18th, 2025. I'm your host JV with my co host, the one and only Nipinator, former Chairman of the SEC. And today is Pod Episode 2025. That's right, Pot Episode 2025. Kicking it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. You can see Bitcoin ether, bnb, Salana, xrp, all correcting and in the red and definitely not a good look with all the, you know, the macroeconomic factors and all the talk of, you know, what's going on in the Middle East. So the market has been correcting significantly. And what's ironic is just the other day we were like close to 110 within a couple of thousand from price discovery. The current all time high is still sitting at 112 which was achieved on May 22. Let me know when you feel a likely surpass that and check it out. Coinmarketcap.com the current crypto market cap sits at an exhilarating 3.22 trillion. The all time high is 3.75 trillion. The bidding market cap sitting above 2 trillion. We have 110 billion worth of volume for the past 24 hours. Bitcoin dominance on the rise. There's a silver lining. 64.1%. Ether dominance on the decline at 9.3%. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. We got arrow up 8% followed by Kay, followed by Kronos and barely anything else as the majority of the market's correcting and in the red and checking out the crypto bubbles. Just to put it all into perspective, wreck city like 95% of the market wrecked. Zooming out for the weekly. Very similar but even deeper wreckage. Some of these shitcoins down 20, 30, 40 plus percent and zooming out for the monthly very similar story. Reck City zooming out for the yearly, I'd say probably 8020 red over green and checking out the crypto green and fear index. Today we're 52 back down in neutral. Yesterday was a 68 greed last week at 72 and last month a 74. And checking out the infamous time chain calendar. We're currently on block number 901784. We have 148216 blocks into the having a 2028 and as of today you can exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 961 sats. So you know what to do. You pick up the SATs, put down the gats and pick up some bitcoin caps from a man sergio over@bitcoin caps.net and cop yourself a custom Bukele President B exclusive with the embroidery of the flag of El Salvador. Repping Bitcoin country and if you don't know now you know. But let's transition into our next segment. If you went on a road trip and you didn't stop for a Big Mac, drop a crispy fry between the car seats or use your McDonald's bag as a placemat, then that wasn't a road trip. It was just a really long drive. Participating McDonald's of the day which is going to be our TA aka astrology for the baddies. And we'll pull up some of the live charts to see what's happening right now in the markets. Headline here. Bitcoin eyes 105 pre FOMC as Trump reveals the Iran as for a dialogue and obviously we've been correcting even thus more here in the morning here you're looking at at the one hour chart and bear with me, I'll pull up the live charts when I'm done reading this trading view showed bitcoin reversing to the downside which had taken it to lows of 1038 via bit stamp. Still highly sensitive to developments of the Iran Israel conflict, Bitcoin sought relief from comments by President Trump that Iran had been in touch. Quoting him here. I said it is very late, trump told reporters during the appearance on the White House lawn, adding he did not know how much longer the conflict might continue. And let me know if you're in support of you know what Trump has to share or are you more in support of Tucker Carlson and his critique on Trump? Let me know either way. Hours ahead of the Federal Reserve decision on the interest rates, concerns lingered over the potential impact of the U. S Trade tariffs as well as the Middle east tension and their effects on the oil prices. Quoting them here. First tariffs, now missiles. This is no ordinary inflation fight. This is according to QCP Capital. They also pointed out in their telegram our expectation is for the Fed to hold rate steady while striking a hawkish tone acknowledging the fresh upside risk to inflation stemming from geopolitical instability. They also warn that the Fed reducing the forecast for the number of interest rate cuts in 2025 would likely pressure the risk assets, including Bitcoin and broader digital assets as liquidity expectations are paired back. And for his part, Trump reiterated existing demands for the cuts despite markets believing they would not come until quarter three, quoting Fed Chairman J. Powell 88 billion came in from tariffs, no inflation. I know what I'm doing, so he says. And amongst Bitcoin traders, anticipation was brewing over the potential short squeeze with markets positioned for further losses and lo and behold we are correcting. At the time of the live stream, SCO analytics pointed out that the order books are skewed towards bid death death more bids closest to the price versus the ass. Perpetuals positioning is pretty short with all the stack defensive positioning here as outlined right there. The order book data from Coin Glass shows the area around 103 which is where we're at, particularly prime to act as a short term price magnet. I think it's gonna matter if a hundred thousand holds as support. When we did have our correction a few days back we hit like 100,000 and maybe 500 but 100,000 held and then like a couple of days later we were close to 110. So if 100,000 breaks then we're going to have the next leg lower. So you let me know if you think we'll likely retest that level if it'll break due to the tensions with the Middle east and what's going on. And before I pull up some of the live charts, here's a couple of tweets from your high Priest, Max Geyser. Not having any bitcoin will mean you are effectively broken homeless. Nobody will take your USD or any fiat to pay for anything. Why would anyone swap goods and services for worthless paper issued by a bankrupt government? The buying panic will be intense and he's warning you guys when hits the fan you better be prepared and be stacking thy bitty. He also points out Bitcoin is no longer ideological, it is indistributably perfect money and better than the alts gold or fiat, a critical mass with capital have succumbed. We have entered a period of rank competition in a mad global scramble to acquire more of the bitties. Many will be left behind. Now I also want to shine some light on some of God's work Murphy's life is doing and if you don't know he has the number one rated non profit in El Salvador. Helping the locals get, you know, shelter and food and things of that nature. And I wanted to share this because this looks like a fantastic opportunity for some of you. So I'm going to read it out loud. Shout out Murphy's life. Make sure you're following them on x. Looking for five nomads looking to join our community. You will pay $0 for your lot. You build a two story house. The family in our community lives on the bottom. You get a top bungalow and when you're not here, here the family will manage your rental unit if you'd like and you guys split the profits. First come, first serve. We do the build with quality engineers. With your help on the design. This can cost anywhere from 40 to 80,000, 000. So for less than 1 bitcoin you can have your own getaway and be helping the locals over in El Salvador. I thought this was fantastic. Literally potentially a half a bitcoin. He says 40 to 80 000. This is first come, first serve. If you're interested, send a DM or get your butt to the farm. No financing. Cash up front for the build and you will officially have your plan B on our community. That's why I say this man is out here doing God's work. And I think it's an excellent opportunity. Next time I'm in El Salvador. Murphy, if you're watching this episode is.

I'm definitely going to link up with you and share some light of the work you're doing down there. Great respect for your brother. He also recently posted. Here we're building a fully sustainable community in El Salvador. Our focus is on lifting the locals out of poverty. Our community is prepared for world chaos. Covid scenarios. We have well water, free energy. I repeat, free energy. Farm animals 10, 000 + edible plants, slash fruit trees. People in government talk about a plan B, but what is that? An apartment in a foreign city. To me a plan B means you can feed your fan when the stores are closed. A plan B is a home where you can walk in nature. We have 2km of green hiking trails, a Plan B is a true sovereign living no matter what happens around the world. This project is built with 100 donations from you guys. It is a non profit, highly recommended by Bukele himself. Hence why we're shining light on it right now. Let's build the blueprint together so you guys have an opportunity to be a part of that. If you want to take advantage of it, reach out to Murphy's life, give him a follow and please support the brother. And I greatly appreciate that. And next up, I promise to pull up some of the live charts. Let's do that and knock it out. Pulling up the charts via Trading View via Coinbase should here in a second. It should be updating. You should be able to see. There we go. So yeah, obviously a lot of carnage in the market. We did tap 103. We're right back above 104. Lots of volatility. This is a one hour chart. We do have a green target on the screen which you can see sitting at 1:78. And again this is the hourly chart via Coinbase via Trading View. Zooming out from there. Let's take a look at the four hour. The four hour chart. No particular bull target but there is a super bear scenario in the blue sitting at $76,000. And zooming out from the four hour. Taking a glance at the daily chart. The daily chart you can see big corrective red candle yesterday and today has been pretty corrective as well. But we do have a bullish pennant and we do have a bull scenario all the way at 147. 5. Let me know when you feel bitcoin will likely hit this next leg up according to the daily chart. And we're also going to take a glance at the weekly and the monthly. On the weekly chart we've had the cup and handle target of 124 in play probably for the last six plus months as we cover it every day in the show Rising wedgie. The only Nipinator approved wedgie, the rising wedge. And we have 124,000 target in play. And we did get seven green. Consecutive weekly candle closes. Then we finally had a corrective red and obviously we're looking to regain some of the losses over the past couple of days due to the war tensions in the air right now. And zooming out for the monthly. The monthly chart you can see April and May where green candle closes for the month of June. It's to be determined. We're halfway through the month. But you guys let me know your thoughts where the price action will likely go next and do you think we'll hit the new all time high break the current price discovery level of 112? Do you think that will happen before we enter July? Yay. Nay. Holla at your boy and I read your comments out loud. And if anyone's interested in taking advantage of that offer over in El Salvador, let me know. Next headline we're gonna be discussing Norway this company by the name of K33 as per the headline, Norwegian crypto firm K33 raising more funds to buy up to 1, 000 of the free little bitty going up forever. Laura that's right. Norwegian crypto firm K33 said Wednesday it plans to raise a minimum of 85 million Swedish krona worth 9 million USD through a share issue for its plan to purchase up to 1,000 of the Bitcoin for the company reserves. And a great time to be buying Take advantage of that dip. According to the announcement, K33 has appointed a Pareto securities as its manager and book runner for the share issue. The subscription price per share is looks like 1.1 penny if I'm reading that proper. Hey, I like the 11K33 expects to issue at least 820 million shares. The net proceeds from the direct share issue will be used by Bitcoin to hold on the balance sheet. The move follows K33's earlier announcement that has secured financing to acquire up to 57 of the bitty in late May, K33 said in a bitcoin exposure will also unlock the real operational leverage for the company as a broker. The company expects the holdings to improve its margins, enabling a new product offering to strengthen the appeal for the institutional customers. As part of the initiative, K33 confirmed the purchase of 5 BTC on Tuesday, worth roughly 5. That's just insane. Now 5 bitcoins worth over a half a million dollars. I guess we got to get used to it.

JV
Amazing. And before you know it, shit, 5 bitcoin will be worth $5 billion. Just saying. The company added that the share offering will not be distributed in us, Canada, Australia, Russia, South Korea, or in any other jurisdiction where it would be illegal to offer the product. K33 CEO said the fundraising is a step towards acquiring 1000 Bitcoin with plans to grow the Bitcoin treasury further in the future as he shares here. A strong balance sheet built on Bitcoin enables us to significantly improve our brokerage operation while maintaining full exposure to the Bitcoin upside potential. K33's move follows a broader trend amongst Norwegian companies investing in Bitcoin. Earlier in the month, Norwegian Block Exchange saw The stock jump 138% in a single day after announcing it would be begin holding it on the balance sheet. And then we also had a Norwegian industrial holding company by the name of Assa Acer Assa creating a subsidiary called Ctech in 2021 which is entirely dedicated to investing in Bitcoin and holding crypto. And according to the Bitcoin treasuries.net data shows that the subsidiary now holds 754 BTC worth 63 million at this time with the prices next story of the day yo so we did Norway Next we're going to discuss the Europe Bitcoin accumulation here. Headline Here reads Europe's first Bitcoin treasury firm buys another 20 million of the biddy now holds over 170 million. That's right. Paris listed tech firm Blockchain Group expanded the Bitcoin reserve with a purchase of 182bitcoin for almost 20 million, bringing its total holdings to 1653 BTC. At this time it's worth just above 170 million. The latest acquisition by Europe's first bitcoin treasury company finalized on Tuesday, was funded through a series of recent completed convertible bond issuances totaling nearly 18 million euros which is 20.7 million USD. Notable investors in the round included UTXO Management, Moonlight Capital, Tobam and some other Ludovic company. The announcement showed that each participant bought a different part of the company's bond offerings. The purchases were executed by commercial banking institution Banque. I'm not even going to pretend to pronounce this properly, but nonetheless investing banks Swiss Quote Bank Europe SA and custody of Taurus, a Swiss infrastructure provider for the digital assets. The blockchain group claimed a year to date bitcoin yield of 1173% reflecting an increase of the ratio of Bitcoin held to fully diluted share count. And since the start of the year the company has added 469 bitcoin and reported 49.4 million in gains worth the Bitcoin value. Not too shabby. The firm's average acquisition cost stands at 103000 per BTC. Ironic just around where we're at and lower than the current market prices, but barely what plans underway that can enable the purchase of an additional 70 BTC. Total reserves may soon approach 1723 BTC. The blockchain group is traded under the ticker ALTB BG on the Euro Next Growth Paris. The company shares are down almost 4% on the day, according to data from Google Finance as outlined right here. Earlier in the month the Blockchain Group announced plans to raise 300 million euros, which is 342 million USD through the at the market style offering to boost their Bitcoin Treasury. The fundraising will occur in tranches with shares sold at market driven prices based on previous days close or the volume weighted average price and capped at 21 of the trading volume. A growing number of public companies are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheet, with at least 26 entities doing so in the past 30 days. That's like virtually every single day there's a new Bitcoin treasury company being birthed, which is mind boggling. They're all following the sailor put in the sailor playbook. However, critics warn that some of these firms may be turning to bitcoin as a last resort rather than a strategic play. Industry voices from Go Mining institutional caution that the state smaller firms mimicking strategies playbook may lack the risk management required for such moves. And I agree with that. Just because they're a bitcoin acquisition company following the sailor put doesn't mean they're really qualified to excel at the level. Obviously there's only one strategy B and Standard Chartered bank warned that half of these companies could face serious trouble. And they're probably right. A Bitcoin fell below 90, potentially triggering widespread liquidations and harming the assets reputation. And there you have it. Reputation, reputation, reputation. So headline reads Genius act can make stable coins and I just clicked on the wrong thing. One second, one second, one second. Make me look mad. Genius act can make stable coins part of the U S Financial infrastructure that's right. Stablecoin adoption amongst U S banks and financial institutions may accelerate following the passage of the new legislation in the Senate. The guiding Establishing national innovation for the U S Stable coins, better known as the Genius act, passed the U.S. senate in a 68 to 30 Tuesday vote. The bill aims to set clear rules for stablecoin collateralization and mandate compliance with the anti money laundering. It will also now have an advance for the House. The Senate vote sends a strong positive signal to institutions. Savor every last drop of summer with Starbucks. From bold refreshers to rich cold brews, the sunniest season only gets better. With a handcrafted ice beverage in your hand. Available for a limited time, your summer favorites are ready at Starbucks. That brings the bill one step closer to becoming a law, according to the Catalyn Something head of the research over at synagogue. I guess that's a big bank Numerous large banks and traditional financial institutions are planning the stablecoin integrations for payments and settlements, and they shared that clear regulatory framework and compliance pathways are a necessity, as is legal recognition of stable coins as settlement instruments. However, she said that the institutional stablecoin use may initially be limited to tokens issued on private blockchains. Well, there you go. Emerging crypto policy developments and stablecoin regulations are significant catalysts for this market cycle. Investment partner Alice Lee shared that something One of the strongest drivers is definitely the policy change, referencing Trump's bitcoin reserve approval and stablecoin policy developments is the catalyst for the bitcoin price upside for this year. Full Congressional approval of the GENIUS act will make stable coins part of the U. S financial infrastructure. And I dare say it's ultimately a CBDC in disguise, which is programmable money central bank digital currency. You know, the Trump administration said no CBDs, not under my watch. Well, what difference is there between a CBDC and a stable coin? Let me know if issuers start holding large amounts of Treasuries. That changes their role from niche instruments to key players of the economy. He added that treasury back stables would give institutions more confidence and using them for settlements and payments. Financial institutions using stables have been operating under a regulatory gray area thanks to Gary Gensler with few concrete moves being made due to the lack of clarity and government guidance. And now that this is done, institutions won't hesitate to jump, jump, jump around, jump up, jump up and get down, capitalizing on the opportunities that the stable coins have to offer, particularly when it comes to cross border payments 24. 7 settlements and enhancing global onchain liquidity. Investment banking giant JP Morgan Chase filed a new trademark application for JPMD amplifying speculation of a stablecoin offering. And every time I think of the name Jamie diamond, one thing comes to my mind.

JV
There you go. Can I get an Amen? We have two more stories to cover, then we'll do some live Q A and I'll stick around for a bonus hour for you guys. We'll chillax and kick it. But next up, here's regarding the Ukraine Strategic Biddy Reserve Headline reads Bitcoin Reserve Bill enters Ukrainian Parliament in a Historic move that's right. Ukraine's Virka Havner has registered draft law number 13356, a measure that would add virtual assets such as the biddy to the roster of instruments for the national bank of the Ukraine, and they may hold its gold and foreign currency reserves. The bill was filed June 10 during the legislature's 13th session of the 9th convocation and list eight cross party sponsors, including First Deputy Finance Committee Chair Yarselov. I'm not even going to attempt to pronounce that last name. That would be craziness. The Parliament bill card confirms that the Finance, Tax and Customs Policy Committee has been designated main Rapporteur, with the Digital Transformation, Budget, Anti Corruption and EU Integration Committees assigned as the co reviewers. That's right, and according to the explanatory note published by Liga Zakan Legal Portal, the draft would insert virtual assets into the list of internationally recognized reserve assets under the 1999 law on the national bank of the Ukraine. It reminds me of a Prince song. We're gonna party like it's 1999. It would also authorize three new channels for acquiring such assets direct market purchases, acceptance of income denominated in virtual assets and borrowing of virtual assets for multilateral lenders or foreign central bank banks and would permit their disposal either through open market sales for monetary policy purposes or through repayment of virtual asset liabilities to official creditors. They also emphasize the language is permissive rather than compulsory. We give the national bank the right to include virtual assets in the Ukraine's reserves. How, when and how much is left entirely to the regulator after the filing, adding that the proposal does not oblige the NBU but positions the UK Ukraine within global financial innovation. And in a separate comment, the business daily Liga Net stressed that timing, method and the volume would remain the discretion of the central bank, reiterating that the bill is written broadly on purpose. The full text of the bill has yet to be posted. Several Ukrainian legal outlets note the PDF remains inaccessible as of June 18. Nonetheless, the outline now before the committee is the clearest legislative attempt to date.

Fees apply to give the NBU explicit authority to hold Bitcoin alongside existing reserve assets. Monetary gold, IMF special drawing rights, foreign currency, cash and high grade securities. Ukraine's international reserves stood at 44 billion. My question is how many billions did the United States send to the Ukraine over the past like eight years? If anyone has an answer to that, let me know now. Also under RADA's procedure, the draft awaits the first reading recommendation from the Finance Committee after which it can be scheduled to to plenary debate. No timetable has been announced, but I'll keep you posted. Do you think the Ukraine will adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset? Yay. Nay Holaja boy. Now for our feature story of the day. Billionaire Mike Novogratz expects 1 million dollar per bitcoin due to these two particular catalysts. Let's break this baby down, shall we? And again, welcome everyone to the live Stream. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz predicts the pre little bitty will one day be worth a whopping 1 million per coin for these two particular reasons. In a new interview with the SWAB network, Novogratz says Bitcoin will eventually increase 850% from the current value due to the increased adoption in the weakening United States dollar. Quoting him right here, the price moves on two metrics. One is adoption. More and more people being introduced to it. We call it orange pilling. Then them somebody orange pilled Larry Fink and that was a big deal because now he got all BlackRock engaged and Invesco our partners engaged and more and more financial institutions are engaged. The other is the macro backdrop which I think continues to be government spending. Too much money money printer go brrr. He also believes that the younger generations will prefer investing in the top crypto asset over gold. That's a fact, Jack. The only one still recommending gold is Peter Schiffmeister. And you already know how I feel about Peter Schiffmeister. I mean, and so how do I think bitcoin can go to a million? Well, gold is roughly a 20 trillion dollar asset at today's market cap Bitcoin roughly 2 trillion. And we had Warren Buffett retire. Charlie Munger passed away. They didn't like bitcoin. Remember the infamous Bitcoin's rat poison square. Stay away from it guys. Of course they didn't like it. Because they were the fiat oligarchs. They're not bitcoin people. But I bet you their grandkids are right. Kids like digital stuff. And as we have this well transfer from the baby boomers who are all the rest, their souls going to slowly pass away and that money gets passed down and they're going to be more willing to buy bitcoin than gold. That's a fact. The younger generation already using everything digital. I mean look at the Robux for Christ's sake. If you're a parent you know precisely what I'm talking about. Novograss previously said Bitcoin has become the institutional macro asset just like gold or silver. Now JV dare says 1 million. It's inevitable. We all know it's going to happen. And it's less than a 10x from the current price action. Previous cycles I have seen us jump up from. In 2017 when I first discovered Bitcoin it was $1500 by the end of the year, 20,000 after Novid in March of 2020. Yes, I've coined the term novid. Figure out why Bitcoin crashed from like 78,000 to 3,000 and then within one year from March of 2020 to March of 2021 Bitcoin shot up to 60,000 hitting the new all time high. And then later in the year November, it hit the all time high of the cycle, 69,000. So Bitcoin can go from 3,000 to $6,060,000 in one calendar year and that was in 2020-2021, less than five years ago. It can damn well do another 10x from here. But the million dollar question becomes will we get that 10x during this cycle or will it be the next cycle, the next having being in 2028? And of course we've been also entertaining the idea that the four year cyclical cycle has been destroyed since all the institutional adoption and what's happening with all the plays from Wall street and the bitcoin treasury state adoption. So I want you to tell me where you feel the bitcoin price will be for this cycle peak. And do you think we continuously raise the bar each and every year? Or do you think it'll be like previous cycles where the year the having run up, the year preceding the having new all time high for the cycle then two years of winter? Or do you think all of that has officially been reset starting now? Let me know your thoughts and I'll read your comments out loud. I'm personally predicting 1.1 million per coin as a the cycle peak. But that's my bull scenario. My bear scenario for this year is 222,000. My base case for the Brosis 420,000. Send it. And if you don't know now you know, homie.

The discussion shifts to the impact of geopolitical events on Bitcoin’s price. JV highlights President Trump's comments regarding the Iran-Israel conflict and its potential repercussions on Bitcoin:
President Trump's Statement:
"First tariffs, now missiles. This is no ordinary inflation fight." [04:45]
Max Geyser's Warning:
"Not having any Bitcoin will mean you are effectively broken, homeless. Nobody will take your USD or fiat to pay for anything." [09:30]
