Bitcoin up 2.1% in the green. Trading at 113.5at a time of the live stream we have ether making another big move roughly 3% on the day. Trading back above 2800. In fact virtually all the major cryptos are pumping and in the green and checking out coinmarketcap.com the current crypto market cap sitting at 3.53 trillion. The all time high is actually 3.75 trillion. We're inching closer and closer and checking out the bitcoin market cap. 2.258 trillion. Almost on the cusp of the all time high and yeah, 148 billion worth volume past 24 hours. Bitcoin dominance coming in at 63.9%. Ether dominance back on the rise at 9.7%. Now checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. Pudgy little penguins up 23% followed by SUI up 13% followed by the infamous fartcoin up 12%. Which alts if any are you bullish on for the bull. Holl at your boy and checking out the crypto bubbles. I like to use this just to get the visual perspective of the market on the day. And safe to say everything is in the green. Minus Kronos down 1.7%. Zooming out on the weekly a very similar scenario. Massive gainers across the board of the altcoin market zooming out for the month. That's where we get hit with the humble pie. W w W ish coin's going to mess them up. Yeah, as you can see, not many actually in the green and zooming out for the annual. You can see it's a mixed bag. I dare say 50, 50 half in the green, half in a red. And checking out the infamous crypto greed and fear index. Today we're 71 greed, yesterday 66, last week of 73 and last month of 71 in greed. And checking out the time chain calendar as of today we're on block height 94942. We have 145, eight blocks into the having of 2028. And as of today, July 10, 2025, you can exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for the least amount of SATs I have ever seen. 882 SATs. So you know what to do. Pick up the SATs, put down the gats and pick up some bitcoin caps promo man sergio over@bitcoincaps.net but anyways, yeah, we're only 400 away from breaking 114, so very exciting times. We're going to entertain 150,000 price target, pull up some of the live charts and do what we do best here at Bitcoin News Alerts. Give you the bitty news and everything you need to know. The headline here reads, see you at 150G's baby. After Bitcoin taps new highs. And again, the current ceiling is 114,000 via Coinbase, which we just hit right before we started the live stream. So yeah, let's dive right into this. A new all time high appears to have come at a good time. Amen. Timothy Peterson shared that if bitcoin doesn't hit the new all time high within the next two weeks, the assist they likely won't be able to come close until October. Well, guess what, there's. We already hit it. Take that and the crypto Greed and fear index. The greed continues to rise. As I shared with you, we're currently a 71. Bitcoin appears to have broken out of the recent downtrend. According to Matthew Highland says bitcoin confirms a daily higher high, confirming an end to the downtrend that started back in late May, ultimately meaning the bulls are in control. So shout out to the bulls and you know what? You mess with bulls, you get the horns. Watch out now. So yeah, we're currently just shy of 114,000, which is a new all time high. So we're in price discovery. This is an exciting time and this is what we live for as bitcoiners. Strong ETF inflows and a solid macro backdrop have helped drive the market momentum. Perhaps the most crucial shift is who's buying. In July alone, there have been approximately 1 billion of inflows into the US spot ETFs and we'll dive deeper into the ETF volumes a little later. Even in the face of global uncertainty, from escalating trade tensions to rising geopolitical risk, Bitcoin has remained resilient that's right because the bit is a brilliant Bitcoin traders leverage positions also show a similar story. Over the past 24 hours 217 million of Bitcoin short positions were liquidated and there's massive shorts more that are going to be liquidated. Billions of dollars worth at 120000 which I am pretty confident we're going to hit here soon. Data also shows 1.6 billion of short positions risks being wrecked at 115. So right around the corner which you know is inevitable, hopefully it happens here during the live stream. Also Santiment shared data on Tuesday showing the highest bitcoin sentiment ratio of the past three weeks. Sentiment analysts caution similar spikes and trader optimism were followed by bitcoin price drop back on June 11th and July 7th. And breaking news right here. New York Teachers Pension Fund buys one and a half million worth of bitcoin miner clean spark And a reminder there's 30 trillion of U S pensions awaiting to enter the BTC. 30 trillion. The U S deficit is like 30 something trillion. So just a lot of money about to enter bitcoin. It's pretty a big deal. And checking out some of the live charts we'll do some live chart action Jackson, Satisfaction faction, Tony Braxton, Joe Jackson, Bo Jackson for the Brosis and we can't forget about a baddies. So yeah as you can see bitcoin are ripping like the new Scotty Pippen currently above 1135 at a time of the live this is the one hour chart brought to you via Coinbase via trading View live chart Action Jackson and zooming out a little further taking a look at a four hour. Let's see what particular targets we have printed here. We still have a very bullish scenario. A bull flag sitting at 137. Again 137 in play according to the four hour chart you can see a massive green candle just recently printed here which is a beautiful thing. The wonderful thing about bitty is bitty the wonderful thing. And zooming out for the daily of the daily chart also very bullish. Yesterday we had a nice green candle. Today already a nice green candle. Day before that a nice three consecutive green daily closes. It looks like pretty lit. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Do you ever find yourself playing the budgeting game? Well with the name your price tool from Progressive you can find options that fit your budget and potentially lower your bills. Try it@progressive.com Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates Price and coverage match limited by state law not available in all states bullish flag sitting at 146431 again on the daily chart. 146431 in play now check it. Zooming out a little further. Checking out the weekly of the weekly chart shows us we have a rising wedge. We have a particular target which has been identified here on the weekly chart for most of the year sitting at 124,000. We did have seven green consecutive weekly closes which is the most we have ever had. Then we had some corrective weeks and now we started pumping again for the past couple of weeks. This will be the third green consecutive weekly candle close as we continue to reach new all time highs. And zooming out one step further, taking a quick look at the monthly the monthly chart here on your screen. It shows you the last three months where green candle closes and even though we're only 10 days deep in the month of July, it's already a nice form green candle. So it looks like we will have four green consecutive monthly candle closes. Hopefully this bullish momentum can continue it throughout the rest of the year. That'd be pretty lit to say the least. U S Lawmakers to Discuss Crypto Tax Policy Amid the push to pass three particular bills that's right, U.S. house of Representatives are scheduled to hold a hearing on a crypto tax policy framework as part of the Republicans push to consider bills on CBDCs, stablecoins and market structure. Interesting they mentioned that because didn't Trump promise us there would be no CBDCs? But interestingly there are stablecoin bills. And stable coins could also just be disguised as CBDCs. Some would say they're just one in the same with a different rapper, different name. You'd let me know your thoughts. That's what I genuinely believe. On a Wednesday notice, leadership on the House Committee on Ways and Means of Oversight subcommittee said they have scheduled a July 16 hearing to focus on affirmative steps needed to place a tax policy framework on digital assets. The event ensuring digital asset policy built for the 21st century will come as House of Representatives are expected to vote on three crypto related bills. I'm proposing zero capital gains tax on all bitcoin. That's the most important. Will we get that? I am highly skeptical we get anything remotely close to that, but let's entertain what they have planned here. It was unclear at the time of publication that witnesses would be invited to testify at the hearing. U.S. senate Banking Committee discuss market structure legislation on Wednesday. Let me know if you saw this hearing. Ripple CEO Was there also blockchain association CEO CEO Was there a lot of the, you know, big crypto folks? Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate offer different legislative paths to address regulatory issues affecting the crypto blockchain industry. And also during a debate over Trump's budget Bill, Wyoming Senator Ms. Lummis proposed the provision to address double taxation from crypto miners and stakers. The bill passed the Senate without any such amendment, and Lummis submitted a standalone draft bill on digital asset taxation days later. My understanding was the big beautiful bill was originally proposing for zero capital gains tax on Bitcoin on transactions of $600 or more, and then it was all removed from the bill and which did get signed. So she is now proposing a separate dedicated crypto tax bill. And like I said though, I'm not too confident that we're not going to have capital gains tax on crypto, maybe specific transactions of $300 or less. But it would be a little naive to just think they're just going to do away with taxes altogether, even though we can all agree that taxation is just a form of theft. Let me know if you agree with that. Republicans push for a crypto week of legislation starting Monday, seeing lawmakers of the House discuss the Genius act for Payment of Stable Coins as well as the Anti CBDC Surveillance State act, interestingly, and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Let's dive into our next story of the day and discuss these Bitcoin ETFs over 50 billion worth of volume. As the headline reads here, Bitcoin investors have now splashed over 50 billion on US spot ETFs. That's right. And as I shared in the news a couple of episodes ago, Black Rock. Now it's officially over 700,000 of the BTC achieved in 18 months. That's more than a hundred thousand Bitcoin than Mic Micro Strategy MSTR and they've been accumulating Bitcoin since 2020, being the first publicly trade company to do so. Pretty wild. So yeah, IBIT led the charge with a net inflow of 53 billion, whereas fidelity saw the second highest net inflow of 12.2 billion. Then we have GBTC was the only fund to witness a net outflow. Not surprised there losing 23 billion according to Far side Data. Now also this year overall Digital asset products have attracted a net inflow of just shy of 19 billion, with Bitcoin accounting for nearly 83% of the total inflows, while Ethereum accounted for 16% of the total inflows. IBIT remains the most dominant product as a fund because the first Bitcoin ETF now has more than 700,000 BTC. Officially as of Tuesday, the fund now holds more than 55% of the total BTC across all spot ETFs. And last week it was reported Black Rock now earns more revenue from its IBIT fund than its flagship S&P 500 fund. Fun. Which is mindboggling considering that the ETF for ibit, the first spot, you know ETF for Black Rock for Bitcoin has only been around for 18 months. Bitcoin also witnessed a high demand from corporations mainly whom established Bitcoin Treasuries which is a big deal this year. On Monday Meta planet acquired another 237 million worth of bitty, making the company the fifth largest corporate Hodler of Bitcoin. Its total bitcoin stack exceeds 15,500 BTC. On the same day two European companies added Bitcoin to their existing Bitcoin reserve. We have France's Blockchain Group and the UK Smarter Web Company adding 12 and a half million and 24 million to their treasuries. Then we have Remix Point which we discussed yesterday. A Japanese company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange announcing raising 215 million to buy more of the biddy and intending to accumulate 3,000 into BTC in the near future. And on Wednesday Bitcoin had a new all time high of 112. Yesterday we hit 113 ish. Well today we broke through that just like hot butter and now the new top is currently 114. Price discovery is here and apart from Bitcoin analysts expect ether to reach the 3,000 mark. We're not too shy of that right now as Ether is currently back above 2800 a price action we ain't seen in a hot minute. But there you go yo. Let me know your thoughts with some of that next headline here reads Bitcoin treasury Companies acquire a record 159107 BTC in the second quarter of alone this year. That's right. Corporate interest in Bitcoin reached new highs in the second quarter of this year. What companies adding 159107 Bitcoin to their balance sheet now worth almost 18 billion at the current prices. The figure marked a 23 quarter on quarter increase bringing total corporate Bitcoin holdings to 847000 of the BTC 4% of the cap 21 million supplied just according to the data accumulated by Bitwise. The total value of the corporate Bitcoin holding surged to 91 billion by the end of the quarter. 2 calculated based on Bitcoin's closing price of 1077, a 61% price increase from the previous quarter. Since then Bitcoin resumed the rally surging to a new high currently which is 114 and we're roughly less than $400 away from breaking out into price discovery again. The number of the public companies holding the Bitcoin also jumped sharp with 46 new firms entering the space raising the total to 125 which is 58 increase quarter on quarter. I think it was Sailor who also projected there could be over 800 bitcoin treasury firms birth before the end of this year because it's just a big trend obviously and they want in on the action leading the charge. Obviously we have strategy with the massive stash 5973 325Btc obviously sailor has championed the Bitcoin accumulation strategy by consistently issuing convertible notes. That's why we call him the Bitcoin Alchemist. Also strategies Bitcoin accumulation has fueled a strong performance and the stock price. The company's stock is up 43% year to date, far outperforming the S P modest 6.4% gain over the same period. It has increased by more than 6% over the past month and by around 9% over the past week. According to the Google Finance and MicroStrategy stock at this time is currently trading at roughly 4 $415 per share. Let me know if any of you have exposure to the micro strategy. Also we have Bitcoin minor Marathon holdings, the second largest corporate holder of the Bitcoin currently with 49,940 of the BTC. Their company shares are up more than 10% year on date. Also new entrants are making waves in Bitcoin treasury space. We have 21 Jack Mers launched with 685 million capital, quickly deployed over 450 million into Bitcoin coin. Then we have Metal Planet emerged as the powerhouse dominating the Tokyo trading volume even surpassing household names like Toyota, Sony while amassing 13,350 Bitcoin. Also GameStop grab headlines with his first ever Bitcoin purchase adding 4700 Bitcoin to their balance sheet and further cementing the trend of the non crypto native companies entering the space. And then we have Trump Media also recently entered the fray filing to raise two and a half billion for the their further Bitcoin accumulation. And again there's new Bitcoin Treasury Firms being birthed virtually every day. For example, on Wednesday a London bitcoin company secured 1 1/2 million pounds in a new funding round. And I don't think this is slowing down. But anyways, next story of the day, let's continue where we left off and discuss India, a massive country. I think it is the largest country in the world as far as population is controlled concern. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would assume there's maybe 2 billion people in India. I know China's up there as well, but we've been entertaining the idea of an Indian strategic bitcoin reserve. So I want to do a deeper dive into that and then we'll do our feature story of the day as bitcoin continues hitting new all time highs in this piece. Yeah, so as you can see here, headline India's bitcoin crossroads. Will it add bitcoin to their national reserves? That's the question. Now we already know Trump already assigned a bitcoin executive order where they can stockpile bitcoin for the United States of America. This was the historic day when they signed that particular bill. What makes bitcoin digital gold. We already know there's a limited supply. It's basically superior to gold in every facet in which it can be compared. And that's why Peter Shift for brains is Peter Shift for brains. Now, number three, India's unique position on acceptance bitcoin. Let's start here as global powers explore bitcoin back reserves. India stands at a pivotal moment in such a scenario. India is well positioned to integrate Bitcoin with its financial strategy. A time when apprehensions around global inflation are rising. Including bitcoin in the national financial strategy has become imperative as countries again continue adopting around the world. Here's a brief information of components of India's economic standing. Number one, their economic goal is. India has well defined economic goals where reflected in the pursuit of 5 trillion economy by 2026 technological goals is their strength of the country showcasing an 87% FinTech adoption rate. And also their strategic digital infrastructure existing includes united payment interface. You know they have the rupee already supports real time cashless identity verified transactions. And then you have their energy strengths. India's focus on renewable energy, solar, hydro and states such as Guratot. I'm sure I'm butchering the pronunciation of these cities but I digress. So yeah, there's a lot of hopeful reasons for bitcoin adoption in India. A lot of favorable macroeconomics. Also the policy and regulation is favorable. Also political support. We have been seeing in the headlines a lot of speculation about India adopting a bitcoin strategic reserves. Then of course there's always going to be risks, volatility, regulation, energy technology, environmental. I dare say the bigger risk is not adopting bitcoin and getting left behind. Also India has a lot to learn from the Kingdom of Bhutan who is a massive bitcoin holder as well as El Salvador, the first country to adopt a bitcoin legal tender Bhutan is in the Himalayas. They have quietly emerged as one of the most forward thinking countries in terms of of their bitcoin strategy and they currently hold double the amount of bitcoin as El Salvador. And with the new all time high, El Salvador's bitcoin holdings have now surpassed $700 million. Not too shabby for this little country that was once the homicide capital of the world and now it's leading bitcoin innovation as well as AI innovation thanks to Bitcoin president Najib Buell. Now we also have the Bahamas was a country to launch a retail cbdc. Boo. Obviously not a fan there and also wasn't Bankman freed. His empire was out of there but not any longer. But anyways India very very favorable reasons to be adopting bitcoin and leading I guess the east there. We shall uh, soon see 222 in play I dare say. But anyways famous. You guys ready? Mom spaghetti Meatloaf. Mom meatloaf. All right, let's do this. Now for our feature story of the day. Max Kaiser said something very bold the other day. He wrote if I gave you both the price and the date, most of you would be scared regarding a bitcoin price prediction with a timestamp. So I'm actually going to give you the latest from the high priest Max Geyser. And this actually started blowing up. He shared this just yesterday 9:01pm here's the timestamp. July 9, 2025 got close to 400,000 views, 4,000 likes and 206 reposts. So I thought it was a great topic of conversation. Also there were some headlines Max was featured in. This one says bitcoin a rock at 100% if this epic price prediction by Max Kaiser comes true. And another headline, Bitcoin legend Max Kaiser predicts Bitcoin to hit 220,000 in 2025. And here are some more more recent tweets from Max. 220000 in 2025. And I love this. What do we call these? A meme. But is basically a face being melted in disbelief as we hit that epic price target. Also he wrote here I think this was yesterday as well. Bitcoin is up 700 since this interview he did with Stansberry Research's Daniela Cambone and 220000 in 2025 here reminds us looks likely and gold in that same time is up less than 2x please somebody welfare check Peter Schiff for brains if you know what I'm saying. And Max reminds Daniella, you promised to have me back on at 220,000. I cannot wait for that interview because the last time Daniella interviewed Max Bitcoin was undergoing a big correction and she was very doubtful on bitcoin. And you know Max, he is the most bullish bitcoin OG or advocate or champion of bitcoin since the inception of bitcoin. So you already know, but that was one of my favorite interviews and we love trolling Daniella because yeah, she had no hope in bitcoin whatsoever. But anyways maybe she's changed, I don't know. So yeah, he also wrote if I gave you both the price and the date most of you would be scared and so what other tweets we have false. Oh yeah, so someone wrote here earlier on the back the of my tweet when I was sharing the new podcast episode from yesterday. As you can see here, yesterday's podcast topic was Micro Strategy is fabricating an artificial Bitcoin having 2.2 million in play. Which was quoting Max Kaiser. And then this person looked a little salty and wrote so much for decentralized Let the big players Micro Strategy rig the rules and the retail scrambles for the leftovers. Is crypto just another playground for the elites? Rated T for Teen. Each year thousands of adults lose their shred. It's an epidemic simply known as shred loss. But it doesn't have to be this way because rekindling your shred is as easy as playing the new Tony hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4. With new parks, cross platform multiplayer and sick new game modes, we can put an end to shred loss everywhere. Hit the new Tony hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 and show the world did the Shred's not dead. Pre order Tony hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 and play the Foundry demo. My response was hopefully you were smart enough to front run Wall street and Micro Strategy. If not, it's not too late. Everyone pays for bitcoin at the price they deserve. Happy stacking. And Max responded false. The rules are immutable. We're still early and reminds us that 2.2 million is in play. Send it. Also a big prediction he shared July 2nd and then he updated the following day July 3rd. I want to read this to you. Max wrote at thousand dollars Bitcoin is splitting the world apart. At 200,000 central banks and nation states will start panicking as 500 million people declare their independence. At $300,000 bitcoin the US dollar crashes. Bitcoin gets priced in gold as the US dollar effectively disintegrates. And let me know if you can relate with this condition called toast intolerant. It means being completely unable to tolerate other people's such as when Trump and his administration alleges there's no Epstein client list, nothing to be it under the rug when we all know Este's clients are currently running this show. He also updated us here at 400,000 Bitcoin the global hash wars will be so intense the US invokes national security and seizes the publicly traded companies like Micro Strategy, you know Coinbase's company Marathon Riot. So all the big players of Wall street holding the bitcoin this is something he's actually been projecting but I like that he put a value timestamp of when it will happen. He's ultimately saying he does not trust the US government. Remember there was a Gold Seizure act of 1933. He's ultimately saying how effortless and easy it would be for the US government to just accumulate all that bitcoin currently held by Wall street and Coinbase who is the custodian for all these major players including Blackrock, the largest asset manager. All they'd have to do is send the letter to Brian Armstrong CEO of Coinbase and say hey in the name of national security we need to seize all the bitcoin etab BTC and get it in our possession. The only bitcoin in which they will not be able to confiscate is properly self custied btc. So you know what to do. Make sure you have your bitcoin properly self custodied otherwise it could be taken from you. And if you don't know now you know. So you guys let me know your thoughts with that. Let's actually versus just read you stories. I'm going to go to his timeline because I love X because you get the latest information and news and let's see if there's any updates from Max since the time I hit the record button to start the live stream he reminds us here that Trump is still on level two and so dumb when it comes to, you know, bitcoin and understanding it. So number one, you can see number two, I love my bitcoin buy my coin. Number three, medium of exchange. Number four, store value. Number five, hyper bitcoinization. A reminder here that fiat holders, we call them poor. It's true. Those who treat fiat as a store of value, there's a name for them. And as he says here, 2.2 million is still in play. So don't get her twisted. Quoting Stacy Herbert. Just as Switzerland once built the financial reputation on gold, El Salvador can do the same with the bitty leveraging its brand, regulatory clarity and leadership. Massive respect to Stacy. She actually gets credit for being the first one to share bitcoin when it was 30 cents per coin. She shared it on the Alex Jones show as well as the Kaiser report. You could have bought three bitcoin for a dollar and got two nickels, one for each pocket. And also a reminder here, Max Kaiser just went full bowl. The new target for this year in particular is 220,000. At 200,000 bitcoiners will have the power to exit the fiat and the state. And as you know, bitcoin kills the state, calls out the Trump fiat addiction. I mean it's a fact. Black Rock's bitcoin stash rival Satoshi now that black rock surpass 700,000 BTC, it's speculated Satoshi's wallets, which are a collective of thousands of wallets, have roughly 1.1 million BTC even TradFi quietly watching the bitcoin takeover. As you know, bitcoin just hit a new all time high of a 114,000 and we're only 2, 300 shy of reentering price discovery again during the live stream. Kaiser says if I gave both the price and the date, you'd be too scared. Welcome to the tipping point. Amen. So there you have it, yo. Lots of very bullish predictions from the high priest. Let me know your thoughts. Do you think that the US dollar will effectively crash and fall apart by the time we hit 300 000? Do you think realistically the US government will seize all the bitcoin they could potentially seize from Wall street by the time we hit 400 000? Let me know your thoughts. And also regarding his target of 220,000 for this year, do you think that will likely turn into fruition and longer term, 2.2 million in play? When do you likely think we hit that particular target? Holl at your boy. Welcome everyone to the Q a segment of the live stream. I'm going to stick around for a bonus hour and we'll watch Bitcoin continue to do its thing.

The episode's centerpiece is an in-depth discussion on Max Keiser's audacious Bitcoin price predictions:
Core Prediction: Max Keiser forecasts Bitcoin to reach $220,000 by the end of 2025. He asserts that if both the price and the date are revealed, it would instill fear among skeptics.
“If I gave you both the price and date, most of you would be scared.” – Max Keiser ([Feature Story])
Social Media Buzz: Keiser's prediction garnered significant attention online, with his tweet receiving 400,000 views, 4,000 likes, and 206 reposts.
Comparative Analysis: Keiser contrasts Bitcoin’s growth with that of gold, noting that Bitcoin has the potential to outperform gold, which is expected to see less than a 2x increase in the same timeframe.
“Bitcoin will rock at 100% if this epic price prediction by Max comes true.” – Podcast Host
Speculative Scenarios:
Max's Skepticism Towards Government Control: Keiser warns of potential government overreach, referencing the Gold Seizure Act of 1933, and emphasizes the importance of self-custody Bitcoin to prevent confiscation.
“Make sure you have your Bitcoin properly self-custodied otherwise it could be taken from you.” – JV
Community Reactions: The discussion touches on community skepticism and criticism from entities like Stansberry Research's Daniela Cambone, juxtaposed against Keiser's unwavering bullish stance.
