It is June 19, 2025 and we shall kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. You should be able to see coin360 pulled up here on your screen. We're finally back in the green after a very corrective past couple of days to say the least. We're currently above 1044 about a half a percent in the green for the bitty. Also all the major alts pumping today and in the green after a couple of days of bloodshed due to the Iraq tensions with Iran. And you guys know what's going on there in the Middle East. But anyways checking out coin market cap.com the current crypto market cap sitting at 3.24 trillion. The all time high is 3.75 trillion. The Bitcoin market cap just shy of 2.1 trillion. We got 87.4 billion worth of volume in the past 24 hours meaning volumes down 21 of the day. Bitcoin dominance holding strong at 64% even with the ether dominance at 9.3%. Checking out tot1hundo crypto gainers past 24 hours we got say leading the pack up 13% followed by OKB up 9% followed by the Bitcoin cash trash up 8% on the day. Let me know which alt if any you're bullish on for this particular bull and checking out the crypto bubbles. Personally I like looking at this for a visual perspective of what's going on in the market. Yesterday everything was in the red. Today the bulk of the market back in the green which we love to see. Zooming out for the weekly unfortunately still rec city across the board for the alts very similar story on the monthly and zooming out annually similar maybe 8020 right over green Reck city no diddy and checking out the crypto greed inferior index. Today we're 57 greed yesterday at 52. Last week a 71 and last month a 71 and greed and checking out the infamous time chain calendar as of today we're on block height 901923 and we have let's see 148077 blocks into the having of 2028 and you can currently exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 958 sats. So you know what to do. You pick up the SATs, put down those gaps and pick up some bitcoin caps from my man Sergio over@bitcoin caps.net but now let's discuss the latest TA what's going on in the markets right now. You should be able to see on your screen Bitcoin volume met 130 to 135 BTC will happen this summer. Let me know if you agree disagree. I definitely think that's going to most likely be the next major leg up over the summer. But you guys let me know your thoughts and here is the Latest the price OBV divergence is signaling growing buying pressure according to the market analyst who expects a rising OBV will assist in sending the bitty price to 130 to 135. You guys got to let me know if you agree or disagree. As the analyst pointed out here, bitcoin OBV is still in an uptrend, the bitcoin price consolidating and the OBV is the on balance volume. By the way, it's still making higher highs. For those who don't know, rising OBV indicates the buying pressure the obb if it continues to go up, Bitcoin will eventually break out of the consolidation range. I am still convinced that 130 to 135 BTC will happen in quarter three of 2025. All I got to say is why so damn bearish? Yeah, I mean, let me know if you agree. The OBV indicator tracks the volume to determine whether the buyers or sellers are in control. It adds volume on days when the price closes higher and subtracts it on some days. So a rising OBV means the total buying volume outpaces the selling volume. And in the bitcoin case, the OBV has continued to make higher highs since early May, even as the price has largely consolidated sideways ever since. From a technical perspective, such a divergence suggests that demand is under the surface. Meanwhile, historical price action shows the bitcoin tends to break out strongly when rising OBV confirms underlying buying pressure during periods of price consolidation. Now, between March and April of this year, Bitcoin was trading sideways between 76 and 84 when the OBV started forming the higher lows. The divergence was followed by a 57% rally with Bitcoin hitting over 110 by May. And in fact the current all time high was achieved May 22 to be exact, for 112,000. The fractal can validate the analyst's view that a move towards 130 to 135 may occur in the third quarter of this year if this plays out as intended. Let me know if you guys agree or disagree there Bitcoin appears to be forming a classic bull flag pattern as outlined here in the chart, a continuation setup that typically appears after strong upward moves followed by a period of consolidation. And on the daily chart, Bitcoin surged nearly 112. No, it was exactly 112 on the Coinbase exchange on May 22, just FYI. But it did establish what's called a flag pole and since then the price has been consolidating Downwards inside a parallel channel forming the flag as outlined on that chart. This structure suggests that the bitty may be gearing up for another leg higher. That would place Bitcoin's breakout target of around 130 aligning closely to the analyst forecast for the third quarter. Now the bull flag target aligns with predictions of several market analysts. And yesterday we covered a very bullish price prediction from billionaire Mike Novogratz suggesting Bitcoin is it's inevitable it will hit a million. And I shared the two main catalysts for that and it's basically strong institutional inflows and a weaker dollar. As you know money printer continue to go burr and also stock money lizards. What a username. Amongst other analysts anticipate the prelo biddy rising even higher eyeing a year end target of 200 000. I dare say that's still bearish. JV's personal target bear scenario is 222000 for this year and base case 420. Happy 420 for the Broskis. Am I based? Hell yeah. And 1.1 million as my bull scenario. Remember quoting Max Geyser Bitcoin has no top because Fiat has no bottom. And also I'd like to point out here another billionaire buying bitcoin. Soon every millionaire billionaire will own happens. Nothing stops this train. So bullish on crypto. And this is the news as you can see on your screen. Let me make sure I'm sharing my screen right now. It shows you Grant Cardone's company cardone capital worth 5 billion. Just acquired another 150 billion or sorry 150 bitcoin worth $15.6 million that they continue to stack the bidding as all smart money is doing right now. Also want to share as a bonus the five stages of Max Kaiser awareness. Number one, just found out about Max. He's wrong about everything. Number two, Max is right about Bitcoin but nothing else. Number three, Max is usually right about everything. Number four, Max is clairvoyant a seer. Number five, hyper maximalization. Number six, the infamous Coco Max. Number seven, the Bit Christ. And number eight, the book of Max. I highly recommend this book. I actually have it sitting on my coffee table downstairs in the living room since I picked it up a few years ago. One of the best reads you'll find. Very entertaining, easy read and it'll make you laugh, that's for sure. One of my favorite quotes, no one has ever jerked off the Rachel Matta and that's in a Max Kaiser exclusive. And if you don't know. Now you know. And pulling up some of the live charts. We'll do a little live chart action. Jackson, Satisfaction, Joe Jackson, Tony Braxton, Bo Jackson for the Broskis and we can't neglect the baddies as you guys already know. So yeah, you should be able to see on your screen here in a short second. This is the live chart via trading view via Coinbase, which is the largest crypto exchange in the US let's start with the one hour chart and we'll work our way backwards. And I will be checking the the chat as well. As you can see, 15 million doesn't even touch what's trading exactly. It's it's small potatoes especially for a five billion dollar capital company. But hey, it's something very limited news today for whatever reason so I have to choose wisely. That was one of the it's not a featured story but just a head. Anyways, I digress. Looking at the one hour chart there's a bearish pennant. No more bullish pennant but we do have a bull target in the green sent at 178 which is practically a 3,000, maybe $3,500 jump from the current price action. And zooming out from the hourly taking a look at the 4 our the 4 our chart doesn't have any bull scenarios unfortunately we've been trading sideways but there is a bear scenario all the way down at 76. Do you think 100 will hold as the major psychological support? I do think so. Personally I think we're about to witness our next leg up over the summer. But you let me know your thoughts and I'll entertain that in the chat. And checking out the daily the daily chart. No particular bull targets like we had the other day unfortunately just some bear scenarios which are very unlikely in my humble opinion. And zooming out from the daily taking a look at the weekly we still have the cup and handle target which has been in play on the weekly chart for literally maybe six to nine months and sitting at 124 rising wedge. We did get those seven green consecutive weekly closes which is the most we've had since the inception of the Genesis block. Then we had the corrective red then the itty bitty green and we've been trading sideways ever since. And zooming out a little further and only halfway through the month, a little more than half so we're fast approaching. But this is the monthly chart. Silver lining here is April and May we had pretty respective monthly closes. The two months prior to that were corrective. Do you think we'll continue with another close in the green for the month of June. Do let me know. So Here we go. US Bitcoin ETFs hit 8 day inflow streak despite the Middle east tensions that's right U S Based Bobby going to test recorded 388 million and inflows Wednesday to make the eight consecutive days of fresh capital despite the initial market panic from the Israel Iran conflict. Black Rocks, IBIT and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fun led with 278 million 104 million worth of the inflows. The strong inflow June 18th showed institutional confidence remains from or firm on Bitcoin held steady at 105 range despite the renewed Israel Iran tensions initially rattling the market. Quoting the analysts here, despite the initial panic, Bitcoin has remained in the 104105 range aided by consistent ETF inflows and a lack of follow through in military actions, mirroring the typical risk off then stabilize pattern seen in previous geopolitical crisis. Now Santiment said the pattern closely resembled Bitcoin price reaction to the Russia invasion of the Ukraine in February of 2022 and the Israel Palestine conflict in October of 2023. We saw Bitcoin fall around 7% before stabilizing days later. Meanwhile, the Bit Wise Bitcoin ETF Bit B was the only other product to record an inflow June 18 yesterday at 11 million, while the Bitcoin ETFs issued by ARC, Investco, Franklin, Valkyrie and Vanek and Wisdom Tree failed to register influence flows at all, at least on the day. Meanwhile the grayscale Bitcoin trust gbtc bled 16 million. What else is new? While the asset managers low fee grayscale Bitcoin mini Trust also saw 10 million of outflows. Massive outflows. I expect nothing less from GBTC. And after the slow first few months of the year, inflows into the spot Bitcoin ETFs that picked up pace recently, tallying a staggering 11.2 billion since April 17. That's no joke and they have only eight days of outflow since then during which the bitcoin price has risen from below 85 to now roughly 105. More than 46 billion has flowed into the 11 Bitcoin products led by Black Rock's Eye Bit and Fidelity's FBTZ at 50 billion and 11 billion respectively. The tally includes 23.2 billion worth of out flows from GBTC. And then there's the ether ETFs allegedly pulling their weight but for some reason I'm highly skeptical. I don't see many of the institutions really going much harder on that. For example, Black Rocks iShares Ethereum Trust showed total net outflows of 5 billion regarding that and so yeah, not a good look there. Quoting Crypto McKenna and Rest in Peace Terrence McKenna, one of the greats Ethereum spot ETFs have seen consistent inflows over the past few weeks with 1 billion of inflows very insignificant. It pales in comparison to Bitcoin. But I guess maybe that's why the dominance just recently peaked. I think because like Trump with WLFI had to make a purchase and things of this nature. But that's the latest next headline here regarding Bitcoin staking on I believe the exchange Kraken. Let me know if any of you are currently staking any of your bitcoin or crypto. Headline reads Kraken launches Bitcoin staking with Babylon Integration. Now a long time ago staking was very popular. Then the SEC had the crackdown with the war on crypto and they literally targeted all exchanges offering any form of yield, including Gemini, Earn and so many of the others. Well, it seems now that we got a government here in the US which is pro crypto, that staking is coming back. So here's the latest crypto exchange. Kraken has launched a new Bitcoin stake and product through protocol integration, Babylon Labs. Interesting name. In a Thursday announcement, Kraken said it had partnered with the bitcoin staking protocol Babylon. Let me know if you heard of them. The integration allows exchange users to earn interest on the Bitcoin holdings without the need for bridging, wrapping or lending. Kraken customers can use the service starting today, staking their Bitcoin without interacting with the off exchange wallets. The Bitcoin is locked in a vault on the Bitcoin blockchain and delegated to secure the proof of stake network through the Babylon Protocol. The rewards are not paid in Bitcoin. Now I guess that's something to be aware of here. Users earn Babylon Baby Token. No Didio. The baby price has increased nearly 5% since the announcement. So instead of earning bitcoin, they're paying you in a new coin called Baby. Very fascinating. Mark Greenberg, global head of consumer at Kraken, said that a substantial amount of the Bitcoin currently sits idle on the exchange. And according to him, the idle asset represents significant opportunity costs for clients missed opportunity for the broader ecosystem system. Through the Babylon integration, Greenberg said clients can now earn a return on their Bitcoin. He also highlighted how this has the added benefit of enabling emerging proof of stake blockchains to benefit from the economic weight of Bitcoin to validate transactions and bolster to the security of the network. Here's the official announcement from the Kraken Exchange. Bitcoin staking is here. Powered by Babylon now on kraken up to 1% apron. That's very minuscule. Interesting. I would have assumed it would have been 3, 4, maybe 5%, but ironic. Paid in baby token. Interesting. No bridging, wrapping or lending required. Unlimited staking and weekly payouts. Put your bitcoin to work now. Personally I don't feel it'd be worth the risk to be staking my Bitcoin for 1% APR on a centralized exchange to earn a shitcoin token name baby, but to each their own. Let me know if that interests any of you guys. Meanwhile, BTC 5 sees a renaissance. Let's discuss it. Bitcoin 5 describes financial products built on top of the biddy on the first of such developments, arguably the Omni Layer. I've never even heard Of. It launched July 31 in 2013, the one and only way to move Tether's USDT stablecoin before Ethereum was created. Still, Bitcoin Phi mostly refers to the recent projects such as Babylon, Babylon's Bitcoin secure network enabling Bitcoin holders to stake Bitcoin natively without wrapping or bridging the secure proof of stake blockchain while maintaining control over the assets. Staking occurs via time lock scripts and without the need for intermediaries. Rewards are derived from an 8% annual inflation with 4% allocated to the Bitcoin stakers and 4% to the baby stakers. No Didio baby can be spent on transaction fees and enables holders to vote on the protocol changes. Other examples of the Bitcoin Phi include Blockchain layer two such as Stacks. Definitely heard of that one. That's a good project out there. Ethereum virtual machine compatible Bitcoin side chain root stock and the liquid network as well as the scalability solution of the Lightning network paired with tokenization layer taproot assets. Early May reports indicate smart contract platform root stocks are sharp increase in network activity and mining engagement in the first quarter of the year. Research released in April by leading crypto exchange Bananas My name is Janet Yellen. I got a constipation in my pants showed the value locked in the Bitcoin based decentralized finance surged by more than 2700% over the past month now brending SETO core Dow initial contributor argued in March that bitcoin's outgrowing the digital gold narrative thanks to the rise of the bitcoin phi. And if you don't know now you know. Yeah, but let me know if you guys have any of you guys staked any of your crypto or bitcoin and would you ever dare risk biscuit for the biscuit. In this case, 1% of the baby coin for an APR. Let me know fam and I'll read those comments out loud. Next headline Trump on the Genius stablecoin Bill he says get it to my desk asap and that means as soon as mother freaking possible. Yeah. US President Trump urged the House to pass the guiding Establish a national innovation for the U.S. stablecoins Act. Let's just call it genius. The Senate passed an incredible bill. Incredible that is going to make America the undisputed leader in digital assets. This is according to Trump. Trump, he said it before calling on the House of Representatives to pass the bill lightning fast. In a true social post on Thursday I shared right here. I'm going to read you the entire post from his Truth social quoting our potus. The Senate just passed an incredible bill that is going to make America the undisputed leader in digital assets. Nobody will do it better. It is pure genius. Digital assets are the future and our nation is going to own it. We are talking about massive investment and big innovation. The House will hopefully move lightning fast and pass a clean Genius Act. Get it to my desk asap. No delays, no add ons. This is American brilliance at its best and we're going to show the world how to win with digital assets like never before. My interpretation of the stablecoin act and this Genius bill is ultimately just another term for a central bank digital currency which is a CBDC which is programmable money, which personally I'm not a big fan of of but teach their own. His post came after the US Senate passed a Genius act just the other day with a 68 to 30 vote which was Tuesday two days ago. A vote of the House next where Republicans can hold the slim majority over the Dems. David Sacks wrote here. The U.S. senate passed the Genius act landmark stablecoin legislation provides regulatory clarity, enhances consumer protection, extends the US Dollar dominance online. Thanks to President Trump for his leadership in the crypto, Senator Hagerty for authorizing the bill. Many proponents of the Genius act believe it would play a crucial role in maintaining the US Dollar dominance of the global finance. The bill Sponsor Senator Bill Hagerty said it would allow businesses of all sizes, including Nipinator size and Americans across the country being able to settle the payments nearly instantaneously rather than waiting for days and sometimes even weeks. Crickets, right? The Genius act initially failed to cloture vote at the Senate in May after the Dems voice concern about Trump's connections to the crypto industry. One of the strongest critics of the bill, everyone's least favorite, Senator Elizabeth Warren, who said Trump and his family would make hundreds of millions of dollars from his USD1 stablecoin if the bill passed. Other Dems such as Mark Warner expressed concerns about the Trump crypto ventures. Do you feel it's a conflict of interest with the Trump family? Yeah, I mean benefiting financially from this? You guys let me know your thoughts. Obviously the Dems have shared and voiced their opinions. The Genius act seeks to create regulatory framework for the dollar peg payment stablecoins mandating 411 reserving backing, licensing at the federal or state level, anti money laundering tax avoidance compliance checks and sufficient consumer protections. Stablecoin issuers may also be prohibited from using reserves for anything other than redemption in certain safe investments such as low risk treasury reposition to guard against the shadow banking risk. But there you have it. Yo let me know your thoughts regarding the stablecoin Genius act for the United States of America. But anyways, next story of the day. Family, let's break down this massive seizure. I think this is the the pig butchering scam. You guys may have heard of it. Record U. S crypto seizure 225 million which is a quarter billy claim from a major global scam. And after this one we'll hit our feature story of the day and do a little Q A. That's right. The DOJ announced on Wednesday one of the largest ever seizures of Crypto totaling over 225 million linked to the extensive network of fraudulent pig butchering scams. The civil forfeiture action targets funds trace to a series of deceptive investment platforms luring individuals with the promise of legitimate crypto opportunities only for them to fall prey to sophisticated criminal operations often based overseas. Sounds quite familiar. Now Sean Bradstreet, Capital agent in charge of the U.S. secret Service over at the San Francisco field office emphasized the significance of this seizure, noting it has a historic milestone in the agency's efforts to combat crypto fraud. Quoting him here, this seizure marks the largest crypto SEIZURE in the U.S. secret Service history, the biggest of all time. Bradstreet highlighted the emotional financial toll that these Scams exact on the victims underscoring collaborative efforts amongst the Secret service, the FBI and the private sector partners to trace illicit transactions and identify those affected. The FBI San Francisco special agent in charge Sanjay echoed these sentiments pointing out devastating consequences of such investment schemes. In this case, hundreds of victims lost millions of dollars to the elaborate scheme. He remarked commending the investigative team's diligence in recovering stolen assets. Well, I guess maybe the silver lining is the more illicit bitcoin which is recovered from the government, the more it will have on their balance sheet. The FBI continues to pursue the criminals drug traffickers, anti money launder tax avoidance of these heartless frauds. Working along go after Jamie Demon already alongside federal partners and industry experts experts to disrupt these malicious networks and recover the funds for the victims. Meanwhile, Tether's key role authorities linking fraudulent network to approximately 400 suspected victims globally including dozens within the U.S. according to the FBI data crypto fraud was responsible for more than 5.8 billion and reported losses last year alone. Now these SEAS funds are now subject to forfeiture proceedings with the aim of eventually returning the money to those who were duped. And in tracing the illicit funds the U. S Secret Service and FBI utilized advanced blockchain analytics tools which prove crucial in uncovering the origins of the stolen assets. The operation received a notable assistance from Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer usdt which played a pivotal role in the investigation. The complaint revealed the funds were connected to extensive money laundering and the theft related to confidence in scams which often exploit personal relationships to gain a victim's trust. The network's complexity was further illustrated by the resilience of hundreds of thousands of transactions designed to obscure the origins of the fun basically washing it. Employing sophisticated blockchain maneuvers to conceal the flow of the stolen assets. And I guess there's the latest there yo the the infamous pig butchering scheme insanity. Let me know if you guys even heard of that or were involved or got your funds screwed in any way shape or form due to that scam. Now for our feature story of the day. One day people will talk about owning a full bitcoin like it's owning a whole Manhattan block. And this is a pretty powerful quote here so shout out Carl Menger. I know I reposted this earlier and thank you for reposting the stream. So I'm going to continue to read this and we'll discuss discuss this. The power of owning just one coin. That's right, one coin to rule them all. We call it the biddy pretty little bitty going up forever. Laura he continues to share. If you have managed to get one before this bull run takes off, pause and realize you are huddling generational wealth. Keep it. And a little deeper here. From whole coiners to Satoshi millionaires. I'm going to read this to you. The whole coiner era is almost over. Ever ever ever. Slim JV we are entering the phase where the average person won't be able to own a full bitcoin ever again. That's a fact because right now it's above a hundred thousand. I dare say the average person doesn't have a hundred thousand in access and savings. The average person's living paycheck to paycheck. So Satoshi millionaires will be the new obtainable chase. Most people won't realize it until it's way too late. Exactly. I couldn't agree more. A lot of you holding a full coin right now probably don't think think much of it. But mark my words and the nipinators as well. When this bull run hits, most of y' all will sell. Y' all convince yourself it is life changing money and just walk away. And sure it might be but one day people are going to look back and say wow, you had a whole bitcoin. Just like we laugh at the guy who spent 10000 BTC on the pizza. Great perspective yo. And if you've got one, maybe keep it just one long term. You really don't understand what's happening yet. And I think he makes a great point there. And I actually wanted to share something with you that I started to share earlier before the stream went out and we had to create a second part to the stream. And I was reading to you how few addresses and few people actually own one bitcoin right now. This is a great bitcoin distribution chart and you may be able to see it okay if the glare is not in your way. So let me just read it to you so you can understand how blessed best many of you whole coiners are right now. Check this out. Whole coiners right now there's only 835000 addresses on planet earth and it'll say 1 to 10. The one that says 1 to 10. There's literally only 835000 bitcoin addresses in the world that control one or more bitcoin. That's 1 to 10 gap. So I dare say the average person who has one bitcoin or more has multiple wallets and if that's the case, which I believe it to be, there may only be 250,000 individuals on the planet who are whole coiners. I dare say if you guys have as many wallets as Greg has, there may be less than a hundred thousand hole coiners on the planet because again, only 835,000 addresses exist. This with one bitcoin or more, only 835000 addresses. The average person who has one bitcoin or more has multiple addresses, which, that's why I speculate it's probably less than 250000 people who can be considered one coin or whole coiners. And that number is only going to continue to decrease and decrease the more valuable a bitcoin becomes. The next statistic I want to share with you, there's only 133,000 addresses with between 10 and 100 Bitcoin. I repeat that there is only. And my apologies, yeah, addresses. That is right. 133, 336 to be exact. With 1 to 10 Bitcoin. With 100 to 1000 Bitcoin, there's only 16, 349 addresses. So anyone who owns 100 Bitcoin, consider yourself blessed. We all know a thousand bitcoin at today's price is above a billion dollars. Wow. So, and then if you have. Or. Yeah, and if you have a thousand to ten thousand Bitcoin, there's less than two thousand wallets. And if you have ten thousand to a hundred thousand Bitcoin, there's only 91 wallets in the world. And if you have a hundred thousand to a million bitcoin in a wallet, which is crazy to even fathom, there's only four wallets in the entire world with that much bitcoin. So I want you to really digest what I'm trying to share with you here. Having a whole coin is a massive feat and it may not seem like it right now at 100 G's, but trust 10 years from now. Yeah, I mean, so stack accordingly. You want to be a whole coiner? What if the value of one bitcoin becomes worth more valuable than an entire block in Manhattan? Let that sink in, family, and I'll read your comments out loud. And again, welcome everyone to the Q A segment of the live stream. I wonder how much Larry Fink has in his personally. Now those addresses include everyone, institutions, custodians, all addresses amongst the network. So that's going to include it all 835000 addresses. JV's Twitter alone had 40, 000 followers, more whole coiners in their audience. That's why the attack. Wow. And you're probably accurate there, Yo. I dare say with our 40,000 followers, we probably attract more whole coiners than any other podcast out there, considering the size of our audience. You do make a good point, Therio. Maybe that's why they're on the attack. They're like, shut them down. Does that mean it was a trillion for the pizza? So 10,000 bitcoin means it was a billion for the pizza, not a trillion. I think 1 point close to 1.1 billion if you run the math. Or today's price is just above a billion dollars. Because a thousand bitcoin, I believe, is a billion dollars at a hundred thousand per coin. Right. And now 10 coins is above a million dollars. So if you're a bitcoin millionaire, you have roughly 10 coins or more. And again, that is so rare, it's insane. So count your blessings. Yeah, I mean, and again, if you have 10 to 100 Bitcoin, only 133, 000 wallets in the entire world can say they have between 10 and 100 Bitcoin. And again, between 100 and a thousand Bitcoin, basically only 16,000 people addresses, which is if they're 16, 000 addresses, probably less than 5, 000 people. That's my speculation. Less than 5, 000 individuals would hold 100 Bitcoin or more. Very scarce and only going to become more and more scarce as the years go by. One pizza will be 500 billions and eventually a trillion. Eventually 5 trillion. 10 trillion. Yeah. I mean, Lost Mine in space with Katy Perry. Damn you, Katie. It happens. What are you gonna do?

Podcast Summary: Bitcoin News Alerts | Daily BTC News
Episode: 2026: “Owning a Full Bitcoin Will Soon Be Like Owning A Whole Manhattan Block”
Host: Justin Verrengia
Release Date: June 19, 2025
In Episode 2026 of "Bitcoin News Alerts | Daily BTC News," host Justin Verrengia delves deep into the current state of the Bitcoin market, technological advancements, significant institutional investments, regulatory developments, and notable security incidents affecting the cryptocurrency landscape. The episode provides a comprehensive analysis aimed at both seasoned investors and newcomers seeking to understand the dynamic world of Bitcoin.
Current Market Status:
Justin begins the episode with a detailed market overview, highlighting Bitcoin's recent performance. As of the recording on June 19, 2025, Bitcoin is trading above $104,400, showing a modest increase of approximately 0.5%. This uptick follows a corrective phase influenced by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, specifically the Iraq-Iran situation.
Technical Indicators and Price Predictions:
Justin shares insights from Bitcoin's technical analysis, emphasizing the On-Balance Volume (OBV) as a key indicator signifying growing buying pressure. He posits that Bitcoin could surge to the $130,000 - $135,000 range this summer, based on the rising OBV and historical patterns.
Quote (00:00):
"Bitcoin OBV is still in an uptrend, the Bitcoin price is consolidating, and the OBV is still making higher highs. This suggests that demand is under the surface, and Bitcoin will eventually break out of the consolidation range."
Historical Context:
Drawing parallels to past market behaviors, Justin references the March-April period when Bitcoin traded sideways between $76,000 and $84,000. The subsequent rise in OBV led to a significant rally, pushing Bitcoin to over $112,000 by May.
Chart Analysis:
The host discusses the formation of a classic bull flag pattern on Bitcoin's chart, indicating a potential continuation of the upward trend. This technical pattern aligns with multiple analysts' forecasts, reinforcing the optimism surrounding Bitcoin's near-term trajectory.
Significant Acquisition:
Justin highlights a notable institutional investment where billionaire Grant Cardone's firm, Cardone Capital, acquired an additional 150 Bitcoins valued at $15.6 million. This move underscores the growing confidence among institutional players in Bitcoin's long-term value proposition.
Quote (00:00):
"Cardone Capital just acquired another 150 Bitcoin for $15.6 million, continuing to stack sats as all smart money is doing right now."
Implications:
Such substantial investments by high-profile entities like Cardone Capital signal a robust institutional interest, potentially driving further legitimacy and adoption of Bitcoin in mainstream financial portfolios.
Consistent Inflows:
Despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East, U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs have maintained an eight-day streak of fresh capital inflows. On June 18th, ETFs recorded a total of $388 million in inflows, led by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund.
Market Confidence:
Justin interprets these inflows as a sign of sustained institutional confidence in Bitcoin, even amidst global uncertainties. The stability in Bitcoin's price, holding around the $104,500 range, is attributed to these consistent ETF investments.
Quote (00:00):
"Despite the initial panic from the Israel-Iran conflict, Bitcoin has remained in the $104-$105 range aided by consistent ETF inflows and a lack of follow-through in military actions."
Comparison with Ethereum ETFs:
In contrast, Ethereum-based ETFs have seen only minimal inflows, with BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust experiencing net outflows of $5 billion. This disparity underscores Bitcoin's dominant position in the cryptocurrency market.
New Staking Service:
Kraken has introduced a new Bitcoin staking product through its integration with Babylon Labs. This service allows users to earn interest on their Bitcoin holdings without the need for bridging, wrapping, or lending.
Operational Details:
Bitcoin is locked in a vault on the Bitcoin blockchain and delegated to secure the proof-of-stake network via the Babylon Protocol. However, rewards are not paid in Bitcoin but in a new cryptocurrency called Baby Token, which has seen a 5% increase in price since the announcement.
Quote (00:00):
"The rewards are not paid in Bitcoin. Users earn Babylon Baby Token."
Host's Take:
Justin expresses skepticism about the attractiveness of staking Bitcoin for a mere 1% APR in a new, arguably unstable token. He questions the risk-reward balance of such an offering, although he acknowledges it provides an alternative for those looking to earn yield on their holdings.
Legislative Developments:
President Trump has publicly endorsed the "Genius" Stablecoin Act, urging the House of Representatives to pass the bill swiftly. The Senate recently approved the bill with a 68-30 vote, positioning the U.S. to potentially lead in digital asset regulation.
Quote (00:00):
"President Trump urged the House to pass the guiding Establish a National Innovation for the U.S. Stablecoins Act... 'This is pure genius. Digital assets are the future and our nation is going to own it.'"
Bill Provisions:
The Genius Act aims to create a regulatory framework for dollar-pegged stablecoins, requiring strict reserve backing, licensing, anti-money laundering measures, and consumer protections. However, the bill has faced criticism from Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, who allege conflicts of interest due to Trump's ties to the crypto industry.
Host's Perspective:
Justin interprets the Genius Act as another term for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), which he personally views with skepticism. He invites listeners to share their opinions on the potential impact and conflicts of interest surrounding the legislation.
Major Enforcement Action:
The Department of Justice announced a historic seizure of over $225 million in cryptocurrency, targeting a widespread network of pig butchering scams. These fraudulent operations deceive victims through elaborate investment schemes, often orchestrated by international criminal organizations.
Quote (00:00):
"This seizure marks the largest crypto SEIZURE in the U.S. Secret Service history, the biggest of all time."
Impact on Victims:
Hundreds of individuals globally, including numerous victims in the U.S., lost substantial amounts to these scams. The operation involved collaboration between the Secret Service, FBI, and private sector partners, utilizing advanced blockchain analytics to trace and recover illicit funds.
Role of Tether:
Tether played a pivotal role in the investigation, assisting authorities in tracing the fraudulent transactions. This highlights the importance of stablecoin issuers in combating crypto-related crimes.
Host's Commentary:
Justin highlights the significance of recovering illicit Bitcoin, suggesting that such actions can strengthen governmental balances while deterring future fraud. He encourages listeners to remain vigilant against sophisticated scams infiltrating the crypto space.
Carl Menger's Insight:
The episode features a compelling quote from Carl Menger:
Quote (00:00):
"One day people will talk about owning a full Bitcoin like it's owning a whole Manhattan block. If you manage to get one before this bull run takes off, pause and realize you're hodling generational wealth."
Scarcity of Whole Coiners:
Justin discusses the diminishing number of "whole coiners"—individuals who own a full Bitcoin. Current statistics indicate only approximately 835,000 Bitcoin addresses hold one or more Bitcoin, with an estimated fewer than 250,000 individuals owning a full coin. This number is projected to decrease as Bitcoin's value continues to rise, making full ownership increasingly unattainable for the average person.
Quote (00:00):
"There may be less than 250,000 individuals on the planet who are whole coiners. That number is only going to continue to decrease as Bitcoin becomes more valuable."
Long-Term Implications:
Justin emphasizes the long-term value of holding a full Bitcoin, positing that future generations will view it as a significant asset, comparable to owning major real estate like a Manhattan block. He encourages listeners to appreciate and hold onto their Bitcoin investments as they represent substantial generational wealth.
Audience Interaction:
During the Q&A segment, Justin elaborates on Bitcoin distribution, highlighting the extreme rarity of owning large amounts, such as 100 or 1,000 Bitcoins, which are held by only a handful of wallets globally. This rarity underscores the potential for significant appreciation in value as Bitcoin continues to gain mainstream acceptance.
Justin wraps up the episode by inviting listeners to engage with the community through comments and live interactions, reinforcing the podcast's commitment to providing real-time insights and discussions. He reiterates the importance of staying informed and holding ("HODLing") through market fluctuations to capitalize on Bitcoin's long-term growth potential.
Final Quote (00:00):
"Stack accordingly. If you want to be a whole coiner, what if the value of one Bitcoin becomes more valuable than an entire block in Manhattan? Let that sink in, family."
