Looking to reclaim $120,000. Today is pot episode 2053. I'm your host JV alongside your new Chairman of the Fed Nipinator and with that being shared, let's kick it off with our Margaret. Watch as we do each and every day. I love to see pretty little bitty along market in the green Ether is a big gainer today up 12% trading above 3. 400. We ain't seen price action like this and seems like forever similar to XRP. We ain't seen $3 and 7 cents in years. Cardano I mean everything is ripping like the new Scotty Pippen if you feel what I'm saying. And checking out coinmarketcap.com the current crypto market cap today all time high 3.81 trillion. That's what's up. Bitcoin market cap just shy of the all time high. Right now it's 2.373 trillion, roughly 187 billion worth of volume. For the past 24 hours Bitcoin dominance has been on back on the decline at 62.2% as ETH and the ALTS are making another run up. Currently ETH dominance 10.7% and check it out.
Nipinator
Top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours.
JV
Floki up 33% followed by Bonk up 31 followed by ENS up 21. Which alts if any are you bullish for the mother freaking bull. Holl at your boy checking out the crypto bubbles and get a visual perspective on the day. Safe to say the entire market in the green baby baby. And zooming out for the weekly. It's all about the bitcoins baby. But the entire market is in the green today and zooming out on the monthly. Very similar. Everything's in the green. Zooming it out for the yearly. That's where we get a taste of the humble pie. The bulk of the market in the red I'd say 6040 red over green and checking out the infamous Crypto Greed and fear index. Today is a 70, yesterday 73, last week of 66 and last month a 61 and greed and check it out the infamous time chain calendar as of today you get 900 and I'm sorry.

JV
We're gonna move on and we're going to discuss the latest of the ta. The astrology for the baddies and the bitty broskis for holding it down as we're fast approaching 120 bitcoin digest USPPI win with 120 liquidity grab on the bulls radar or we're only 200 away at the time of the live stream from hitting the 120 mark. In fact here's a one hour chart.
Nipinator
I'll be pulling up the live charts here shortly. Stay tuned.
JV
Trading view showed bitcoin hovering at around.
Nipinator
119 up a half a percent on the day. And like I said, we're just shy of 120. I think we're going to get the 120 smashed here any moment as per the NIPAD indicator.
JV
Number one most accurate bitcoin indicator to ever exist.
Nipinator
Quoting the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
JV
You know these organizations that just pull numbers out of thin air. Here's what they said. On an adjusted basis the index for final demand rose 2.3% for the 12 month ended in June. And in June a 3% advance of the prices for the final demand goods offset the 0.1% decrease in the index for the final demand services.
Nipinator
That's official. Despite rising 2.3% the PPI was still 2% lower than expected. Oh lord. It means our overlords are doing fantastic now, aren't they? Producer inflation is cooling down again. According to the Gabisi letter confirming PPI thus strongly contracted with the CPI print day before the rising and it now. These are all the numbers constructed by the matrix. Synthetic numbers as per what Michael Sailor would say. And tickets to escape the matrix are priced in bitcoin. Some commentators suggest the Fed would now be even less likely to lower the rates to blow to risk assets a blow. Others however, argued inflation numbers are nowhere near critical, especially amid the ongoing U S trade war. Quoting Matthew Highland. Inflation continues too cool. The the only one missed CPI was due to the oil rising in June, but it had come back down which will reflect next month. There's no high inflation like nearly all the experts claim would be here now. Stop listening to the experts. Inverse the Jim Kramers Jim Kramers Jim Kramers of the world the latest data of the Fed Watch tool showed a hint of change in market sentiment regarding rate cuts for the Fed's upcoming meeting on July 30th. We got two more weeks now turning to the bitty price action participants saw the potential for the fresh round of liquidity grabs as we're inching higher here.
JV
In real time Coin glass flag liquidity to the upside on the day with data showing clustered Bitcoin action Jackson between 119. 5 and 120,500. Precisely what we're in between right now they say Looks like Bitcoin is finding support just above the daily CME gap and it looks like we close a lot of those gaps which were created over the weekend, which is a good sign and I'm glad we did that. Yesterday Rack Capital referred to the gap left between the closing opening levels of the CME group Fit watch Future markets typically drawn the price towards them after forming the one gap still in question lies between 114. 3 and 115. 6 as those ones did not close, however, there's no guarantee we have to go back, revisit and close them. It's just usually typically now here's the big bombshell news. I'm going to read this to you Full list of Bitcoin holdings Request was dated March 24 Responses from today DME blah blah blah Total Bitcoin holdings this is the US government 28.9 th000 3.4 billion at the current price. US Marshall Service liquidates assets and public so ultimately they suggested a FOIA request on the holdings that the US has. I think he was dared it was a bet between David Bailey, who is actually Trump's advisor, believe it or not. So this was a very interesting thread I've been watching. He said I will pay. This is what Daily David Bailey wrote 3-1-I'll pay 10000 to the first journalist who can get US Marshals to confirm the quantity of the bitcoin and crypto they're currently holding. And this person requested it via a FOIA request and yeah, it looks like now he's gonna have to pay up. And then he even responded. Is that the full asset list? It looks like the Marshalls don't have the bitcoin anymore. What's the source post the bitcoin address and he did he post the proof of work right there. So yeah. And then he says, wowers, good work.
Nipinator
We'll get you paid today.
JV
Congrats. And I guess he just got his 10,000 worth of Bitcoin. More than 0.1 BTZ at today's prices. And lo and behold, it just blew the whistle on the US government having a lot less bitcoin than any of us anticipated. And that's pretty mindboggling. Where do you think all this bitcoin went? Do you think the Biden administration offloaded it? Let me know your thoughts and I'll read those comments. But what I'm going to do next is pull up some of the live charts. I'm going do a little live chart. Jackson Satisfaction, Bo Jackson, Tony Braxton for the Baddies. As you can see, bitcoin pumping about to reclaim the 120 mark at the time of the live stream. One hour chart. Bullish. For the past hour we've been trading very nicely. Since bottoming out yesterday, we've been back on the rise and the current top is just above 123.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 green consecutive candles on the four hour chart. We got a Barney the Purple Dinosaur Bullish flag Sensation formation sitting at 137,000 again 137 in play. Bullish flag on the four hour chart as per coinbase via trading view. Zooming out a little step further. Checking out the daily. You're going to see a nice green candle forming. After yesterday was a pretty lit red candle. Nice corrective by the dip day. We also have a rising wedgie followed by a bullish flag, a formation Target sitting at 1464 again 1-464Target and play for the bitty on the daily chart. And zooming out a little further from there, checking out the weekly. And yes, we did get the biggest highest weekly close of all time which was nice on Sunday. And it's already hump day and we're recapturing all these price targets. You can see rising wedgie formation since compensation bull target 124. We almost hit that again. The high is 123. 2. We got within striking distance 800 away. We're probably likely to hit that if not today, maybe tomorrow, but very soon.
Nipinator
In my humble opinion.
JV
But you guys let me know your thoughts. Also you're going to notice how many.
Nipinator
Weeks we're getting very big green weekly candles.
JV
And the one forming for this week is massive. Already bigger than the two previous weeks combined. And personally I do not see this slowing down anytime soon.
Nipinator
I think we're going to have the.
JV
Mother of all supply shocks which will be entertaining a little later as per.
Nipinator
The high priest of bitcoin, Max Geyser.
JV
And zooming out a bit further for the monthly.
Nipinator
1, 2, 3.
JV
This is going to be the fourth.
Nipinator
Green consecutive monthly close in a row.
JV
Which shows us the bulls are here. And you know how the saying goes, mess with the bulls, you get the horns.
Nipinator
Next story of the day, how Russian.
JV
National allegedly laundered a half a billion dollars in crypto via tether.
Nipinator
And again, I. I don't read these stories in advance so it's all new to me and I think I pre. Well, I prefer it that way. That way you can. I don't know how to describe it, but it's more authentic versus already knowing what I'm going to be sharing, in.
JV
My opinion, because often times I'm surprised by what I'm reading.
Nipinator
But let's see how this one plays out here. The headline caught my attention. The doj, which I renamed to the DOC after this whole Epstein stunt. Department of Corruption has charged Lori Gugnin, also known as George Gugnin, and Lori Moshkov, a Russian national residing in New York with 22 criminal counts in a sweeping case Underscoring the growing challenges of regulating crypto, Gugnan is accused of laundering more than a half a billion through crypto companies including a vita pay. I've never heard of them. While facilitating transactions for sanctioned Russian entities. According to the doga, which I renamed to the poc dungeon created a financial pipeline using the stablecoin tether to support sanctioned Russian entities, Bypassing US Sanctions and expert controls. His actions allegedly involved deceiving banks, not hard falsifying compliance documents and facilitating access to sensitive U. S Tech highlighting the misuse of digital assets for illicit finance. So who is this Lori Gugnon? I've never heard of them, but a 38 year old Russian citizen currently in New York, he set up evita investments and evita pay, two crypto firms now linked to the half a billion and money laundering. Gugnin presented aida as a legitimate crypto payment service but allegedly used it to secretly transfer legal funds for Russian clients. By posing as a compliant finance tech company, Aida moved money through US banks and crypto exchanges while hiding the funds real sources. As president, treasurer and compliance officer, Gugnan had a complete control over the company's operations, finances and regulatory reporting, Enabling him to manage transactions, misrepresent the company's activities and ignore the anti money laundering tax avoidance. Now authorities claim avita systems were used to help sanction Russian entities obtaining u. S Tech and channel funds through stable coins like usdt, I guess. Here's a profile of that guy, George Gugnin. Let me know if you've ever heard of him before.
JV
Now, through his crypto companies, he was allegedly involved in money laundering activities between June of 2023 and January of this year. Using various deceptive tactics, he's accused of moving over half a billion through the U. S Financial system while concealing the illicit origins of the funds. So yeah, big. It sounds like a big money laundering operation. So I guess it's good news that the authorities have uncovered it and could get to the bottom of that corruption. Now, I challenge the Trump administration and the doj to go after Epstein's clients. To me that's important. More important than these two individuals money laundering a half a billion dollars. Why is that important to me? Because I think our most innocent people on the planet and the most godly are our children. And if we don't protect our children, these demonic entities and evil human beings will continue to do these awful activities with these children and continue to do these bad things. And that's unacceptable. It doesn't matter if you're in the bloodline with the lizard folk, you're working for the lizard folk or you're being blackmailed by the lizard folk. I say we hold them accountable. I don't care who's involved. I don't care if you know the entire swamp of the US Government. I don't care if it's just banking cartels. I don't care if it's individuals and powerful positions in other countries. You know, I mean, let's hold these accountable Next story of the day regarding the Bitcoin ETF inflows. I'm sure black rock's going to be in there. You know, BlackRock now has over 700, 000 of the Bitcoin. And then we'll be discussing Vanguard is officially the largest shareholder of Micro Strategy even though they're anti Bitcoin, however ironic that may sound. And then we'll be discussing a three and a half billion dollar buy. And then some very bold predictions from Max Kaiser followed by some live Q A. The show's going to be lit again. Welcome everyone joining us. Headline here Bitcoin ETF inflow show institutions have doubled down on the biddy at 116. Let me know if you took advantage of the reason. Dip yo Bitcoin. Institutional investors are changing the way to react to the snap Bitcoin price moves according to the glass node inflows into the spot US ETFs remain high this week even after the price dropped over $7,000.
Nipinator
Oh no. End of the world.
JV
Monday. Monday saw one of the largest daily inflows into the US Bob. Bitcoin ETFs for the past three months. 7500 Bitcoin Yo. There's only like 450 being minted each and every day to the miners and just the ETFs alone. 7, 500.
Nipinator
Good Lord, that's pretty lit.
JV
But what stands out is Tuesday's response. Institutions didn't flinch. They double down adding another 3400 of the Bitcoin outflows remain near zero across the board.
Nipinator
So only inflows, zero outflows.
JV
Such behavior stands out versus earlier the year and last year when the sudden price correction spawned into the ETF outflows. Late February, Bitcoin dropped from 100,000 75,000 which was the bottom at that time. Net outflows top 3.2 billion over eight trading days. And as outlined here, it shows you.
Nipinator
You know, the inflows versus the net.
JV
Outflows and that was 1.1 billion back in February. Now with demand returning, so too is optimism over the institutional impact of the bitty price strength. US Bitcoin etfs are buying Bitcoin faster than the protocol can produce it.
Nipinator
Easy peasy.
JV
Quoting Timothy Peterson, Bitcoin's digital scarcity limits supply production to a fixed amount which Is haveed every four years. So a net negative 343,000 of the Bitcoin deficit had resulted from US Bitcoin acquisitions representing about $40 billion in today's value. So Peterson forecast that depending upon the future inflows, Bitcoin can rise by another.
Nipinator
18,000 before the end of the year.
JV
I mean it can do that by.
Nipinator
The end of the week, keeping it.
JV
One hun but over six months this can push the price 130 to 135. I say easy peasy. Major market shifts, he concluded, noting numbers represent a simplified projection.
Nipinator
Now my personal thinking is bare scenario.
JV
222,000 this cycle base case 420 for.
Nipinator
The Broskis and 1.1 million for the bull as per the Nipinator indicator. Send it.
JV
But anyways, next Oreo this is actually very interesting. As you know Vanguard is anti Bitcoin but they still are the primary shareholder of the largest publicly traded company to adopt Bitcoin on the balance sheet, which is microstrategy, now known as Strategy B. I mean you can't make this shit up. So that means they have indirect exposure to BTC while they continue to FUD it. And if you didn't know, Vanguard and BlackRock.

In virtually Every single company in the S&P 500. When I did the math a long time ago it was like over 90%. Any company you can think of, google it and see who the primary shareholders are and there's a 90 plus percent chance it's going to say Vanguard and BlackRock. So yeah. One of the world's largest investment management firms is now the biggest institutional shareholder of MicroStrategy Sailors Co. Best known for adopting Bitcoin. Back in 2020, according to the data from investment research platform Intel, Vanguard accumulated more than 20 million shares of the MSTR representing 8% of the micro Strategy outstanding class A common stock. The state gives Vanguard indirect exposure to over 2,200,000 BTC held on strategies balance sheet representing 26.3% jump between January and April. Now here's a little warning. We've been kind of, you know, sounding the alarm that the government may have ill intent to confiscate the Bitcoin BTC and the ETFs. Now Vanguard and BlackRock, I would consider companies that are of the global elite or the globalists or the Illuminati, whatever you want to say but they control the financial arm for the world so. So it wouldn't be so far fetched to think there's some evil plan for them to somehow take control of as many Bitcoin as possible. And they can do so in the name of national security. I mean we've seen it in 1933 Gold Seizure act, only difference now there's digital gold. Many of Vanguard's funds include exposure to the Vanguard Total Stock market index fund which holds MicroStrategy as part of the broad U S equity allocation. The stock also appears in dozens of Vanguard mutual funds and ETF ETF tracking mid cap benchmarks. Vanguard is a long lasting skeptic of the bitcoin and cryptos. Despite becoming Strategy's largest institutional shareholder, the firm has consistently warned clients about crypto's volatility. Unlike rivals has refused to offer access to the Bitcoin ETFs. So that's right, they're not recommending their clients that there is no Bitcoin ETF with Vanguard. Over the years Vanguard has been one of the biggest bitcoin and crypto bears and traditional finance. Despite the exposure to strategy, the attitude doesn't seem to be changing. Again I'm not surprised. It's controlled by the lizard folk and bitcoin severs the Achilles heel from the lizard folk, if you know what I'm saying. Here's an old saying from Max One of my favorites. Money existed before the state.
Nipinator
Bitcoin separates money from state.
JV
Therefore bitcoin kills the state and the state. Blackrock.
Nipinator
Yeah, Vanguard. All one in the same if you're to ask me.
JV
In a new interview with Bloomberg tv, Vanguard CEO was asked whether the company would accommodate a client who wants to add bitcoin to the portfolio.
Nipinator
And guess where the said.
JV
He declined, emphasizing Vanguard does not get caught up in the latest fad.
Nipinator
We're dependable for the long term, says the lizard people.
JV
In a recent interview with ETF.com he also said Vanguard was not in the.
Nipinator
Business of making bets on speculative assets.
JV
So clearly they're going to continue to fud bitcoin versus admit it's a great.
Nipinator
You know, asset for their investors because.
JV
They'Re the lizard folk.
Nipinator
But meanwhile they want to own as much of the companies that have exposure to the bitcoin.
JV
So they're just artists.
Nipinator
They went on to say that's just.
JV
Not consistent with the investment philosophy that we've built for over 50 years. Well, guess what?
Nipinator
Bitcoin has outpaced all your investment recommendations because it's the best performing asset in human history.
JV
History.
Nipinator
And that's a fact, Jack. Meanwhile, did you know if you invested $1 in Bitcoin at the inception, I think it was January 3rd of 2009, you now have over a hundred million dollars off of a $1 investment. Do you know if you invested $1 into silver that same year at the inception of Bitcoin in 2009, you'd now be worth $2. So what's a better investment? Silver you can double up or Bitcoin like 100 million percent increase, whatever the hell it is. I mean, choice is yours. Tickets to Escape the Matrix are priced in the biddy. Meanwhile, asset manager BlackRock has seen the iShares Bitcoin Trust IBIT become the company's most profitable ETF. According to the senior analyst, it's on Track to reach 100 billion in assets under management. And they also surpassed 700, 000 bitcoin. Meaning BlackRock holds more bitcoins than MicroStrategy. And what they achieved, they were able to do in 18 months. It took MicroStrategy five years. As Belchuna's outlines here.
JV
I wrote last week, Ibit could hit.
Nipinator
100 billion by the summer, but hell could be this month.
JV
Thanks to the recent flows plus the overnight rally, it's already 88 billion.
Nipinator
And at only one and a half years old, it is now the 20th biggest in the U.S. 7th biggest for BlackRock and their number one most profitable ETF. Un freaking believable. It's unbelievable.
JV
Wow. Now the fact that Vanguard is now.
Nipinator
The largest shareholder of MicroStrategy is proof that God has a sense of humor. Or at least that was my reaction.
JV
I mean let me know your thoughts on that. But surprised but not surprised at the same time. But anyways, next story of the day. At least we're above 120. Nipinator indicator never disappoints. This is an interesting story. Canterfish Gerald and you know Howard Lutnick works with Trump now as the press secretary guy. I forget the exact position but he was just interviewed with Trump and was laughing as Trump was trying to bury the Epstein story and make fun of reporters and calling them fake news for still talking about it. Lutnick was laughing at us and Coffee Zilla actually made a video about it. They're laughing at us. Let me know if you watched it. It's pretty good. And shout out Coffee Zilla. By the way, American financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald is reportedly planning to acquire more than the three and a. Oh, they're up and over it more than the three and a half billion from Adam Back's Blockstream Capital. Brandon Lutnick, the 27 year old son of the U. S Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is close to finalizing the deal to purchase Bitcoin through the firm Cantor Fitzgerald multi billion dollar conglomerate. And if you didn't know Howard Lutnick was neighbors with Epstein, that's public information. By the way, Coffee Zilla unveiled it in his video today and that's why I know. But anyways, the reports in the Financial Times in Bloomberg on Tuesday cited people, people familiar with the matter. The deal involves Cantor Equity Partners one a blank check special purpose acquisition company Spock that raised 200 million in January in a Blockstream Capital, a crypto trading group founded by the bitcoin pioneer and the bitcoin OG Adam Back, who some say is Satoshi. Blockstream would reportedly contribute as much as 30,000 bitcoin currently worth three and a half billion in exchange for shares of.
Nipinator
The Canter vehicle which would be renamed BS STR Holdings.
JV
The deal also includes plans to raise up to 800 million in additional outside capital for the bitcoin purchases of the future, Financial Times reported A deal could come as early as this week, but.
Nipinator
The terms of it can still change.
JV
And there you have it there. I guess that's Lutnick's son and there's Howard Lutnick all the Way on the right. Who's the current, you know, workingly working with Trump if completed the deal with May Cantor, one of the world's top bitcoin buyers. And as you know they're also partnered with Jack Mueller's 21 company the new Bitcoin treasury acquisition firm which they're just bringing up right here. And they could reach 10 billion holy this year. Can you say the mother of all supply shocks. The latest news follows the previous 3.6 billion crypto deal canter made with Softbank and Tether regarding 21 Jack Muller's Bitcoin acquisition company. Brandon Lutnick, his son became the chair of the finance firm in February after his father was was confirmed working directly with Trump, which makes sense. So he had to step down from that position, put his son there. So he's still in control of it. Common sense. The move is part of the broader trend of the bitcoin native capital formation as companies strategize around maximizing the bitty per share rather than just earnings per share. Now 21 Capital aims to emulate Sailor his strategy the sailor put which has accumulated 70 billion worth of Bitcoin since 2020. Canter closed the first bitcoin lending deal back in May. Back is a notable figure with the in bitcoin history as his 1997 Hash Cash Cryptographic work was cited by satoshi.
Nipinator
In the white paper.
JV
Nakamoto has become a foundational debate. Yeah. So ultimately Satoshi utilized the technology that.
Nipinator
Adam Back created for bitcoin.
JV
So he's an early cryptographic OG cipher punk.
Nipinator
And some would dare say he's Satoshi.
JV
And if someone knew who Satoshi is.
Nipinator
I'd say it's Adam Back would know.
JV
Precisely because he's a genius. All right, fam. Now for our feature story of the day. The high priest of bitcoin Max Kaiser says I have done the math. A bitcoin supply shock is imminent. It's coming. I couldn't agree more. And on today's show we already been discussing so many of the reasons why we're going to receive the mother of all supply shocks. There's such a limited supply and right now the institutions are buying like there's no tomorrow and there's so many companies.

Eligibility vary by state, contributing to the global hash war taking place in real time. So here's some recent tweets from Max Kaiser. He wrote, at four hundred thousand dollar bitcoin the global hash wars will be so intense the U S invokes national security and seizes publicly traded companies like MicroStrategy, now known as Strategy B Coin, which is ultimately Coinbase Mara, the largest bitcoin mining company, as well as another by the name of Riot. He also made a whole series of predictions and that's why I love and respect Max so much. He says at a hundred thousand dollars bitcoin is is splitting the world apart. And that's precisely where we're at right now at 200,000. When we double up from here, central banks and nation states will start panicking as 500 million people declare their independence. That's right, because bitcoin equals individual property rights and it's unconfiscatable, unlike every other form of wealth in existence. And at 300,000 per Bitcoin, this is when the shit's really going to hit the fan. He's predicting the US Dollar crashing and I agree. He says 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, which means the condition of being completely unable to tolerate other people's. I so much resonate with the high priest right here. He also reposted this from Adam Livingston how tether will kill the US Dollar and make Bitcoin the global reserve asset. Let me know if you agree, that's a very bold prediction. A lot of of you know, big bitcoin proponents have been projecting this for a very long time. What if Bitcoin were to become the global reserve asset because fiat would be effectively worthless and lose ultimately all of its value? And it's happening. It's called inflation, which leads to hyperinflation, which will lead us to hyper bitcoinization. And if you missed yesterday's podcast, that was our Featured topic of conversation we were discussing Bitcoin reaching hyper Bitcoinization, but let me know your thoughts on that. Max also tweeted here in response to Tim Draper. Tim Draper said this was yesterday. I do not like the label Bitcoin maximalist in which I believe Max Kaiser coined and created. He says I'm an innovation maximalist. Bitcoin is incredible. It's transparent, keeps perfect records, immutable, transparent, global, accepted everywhere, has a 63 market share of the crypto. One thing people don't focus on is that Bitcoin is a tool tool that allows for innovation. Bitcoin is about investing in a great future where artists get paid instantly for their work. Small businesses access global markets without banks. Creators own their audiences directly without having to pay platforms 30 like the screw tube, innovation moves at the speed of code, not committees.
Nipinator
Innovation progress is the goal.
JV
Here's Max's response yesterday.
Nipinator
You fail to mention Bitcoin's top value.
JV
Proposition and the number one reason reason it's innovative.
Nipinator
Bitcoin separates money from state and it's unreproducible incentive and perfect decentralized structure means there will never be another. You make bags of money shilling coins.
JV
I get it.
Nipinator
But you clearly don't understand the significance of Bitcoin and that's okay. Bitcoin is for everyone. Which reminds me of one of my.
JV
Favorite Max Kaiser quotes I love to repeat.
Nipinator
He says says money existed before the state. Bitcoin separates money from state. Bitcoin kills the state. Amen to that.
JV
But let me know your thoughts with them going back. I just think it's cool because two.
Nipinator
Fellow bitcoin billionaires kind of blasting each.
JV
Other there on X.
Nipinator
But anyways, it's always entertaining. Max posted this here today in response to this 152 billion in defense spending just got approved. Goldman and Sachs identified the four stocks positioned to benefit most from the massive funding. Max's response funded by borrowed money, paid back by printing money that databases the currency or debases the currency and that jacks the bitcoin price higher. And a reminder that $2.2 million bitcoin price in play. If you agree with Max there, send it personally.
JV
I can't wait.
Nipinator
Now I want to read you a prediction. I watched this video earlier of an interview with Tim Draper more recently and.
JV
I transcribed it for you gu guys.
Nipinator
As a bonus, here's what Tim just recently shared price of Bitcoin. Someone asked him what do you think the price of Bitcoin is going to be. He said I did say 250000 by the end of this year but if you go out 10 years then the answer is infinity against the dollar because there won't be a dollar. So he's ultimately projecting what Max is that the dollar will cease to exist by then. There won't be a need to have a dollar. Once I can buy my food, my clothing, my shelter, shelter, pay my taxes all in bitcoin and it's a better way to collect taxes for sure. For sure then there won't be any reason to hold on to any dollars and bitcoin will be the primary source of owning wealth. Now this really resonates with me and it's so deep because I agree that the dollar will become effectively worthless losing 99.999 of all its value. And it'll get to the point where you'll never have a desire to convert bitcoin for dollars because why would you want to be holding the hyper inflated currency with when you have the primary source of wealth which is BTC you. I mean when you can pay for everything, what logic would it make to hold dollars? Those folks we call poor, there's a name for them. And refreshing Max's timeline on X.
JV
Let's see if there's any new predictions we missed out on from the time I hit the live button because he's very active and make sure you're giving him a follow. I love Max. He's always reposting my look at this. Must watch Max exposing the financial corruption of Ireland. Ireland Bitcoin fixes this. And of course I had to tag Conor McGregor because he's running for president of Ireland and he's proposing to make Ireland, you know, using bitcoin as a strategic reserve for the fight in Irish. Now I need you guys to hit the repost on this because this will get Connor's attention and Connor's already starting to like my comment or content and give me thumbs up. We need to make this happen.
Nipinator
There's supposed to be a meeting between.
JV
Buccele and and what's his name Connor and a sit down. I want this to happen because I want Ireland to adopt bitcoin as a strategic reserve. And as you know Max has been a whistleblower basically whistleblowing the financial corruption of Ireland. And this is a documentary he did alongside Stacy Herbert all the way back in 2011.
Nipinator
We all know Max and Stacy well.
JV
Ahead of their time but a great documentary. If you miss missed it, be sure to repost it. Let's get Conor McGregor's attention on this and let's make it happen. Shout out Bukele of course. Here's a headline. Max shared. El Salvador emerges as a Switzerland a bitcoin with new capital market milestone.
Nipinator
Amen.
JV
Let's see what else is on the timeline here. Breaking U. S Lawmakers introduce a new bill that would require mortgage companies to accept bitcoin and crypto collateral. That is massive. And I think we'd all agree that it's absolutely come in here. You see obviously Bukele with some beautiful minds here in bitcoin country doing their thing. And here's a great request from Andy. He says max please do a new show with AP&RT like the Kaiser report. I agree. We got to bring the Kaiser report back. And the oracle with Max Kaiser. I've been sharing all these throwback episodes. If you missed it, you gotta check it out. Max Kaiser done mince words, brutally honest. That's right. He's been exposing the banking cartels and all the corruption and Wall street for decades. That's why he is the high priest. Also one bonus headline right here. President Bukele meets with Pakistan's crypto minister to strengthen their bitcoin ties and massive shout out to bitcoin country. But with all that being shared, let me know if you agree or disagree with some of these bold predictions. And can you see the mother of all supply shocks occurring this year, this cycle and where do you feel that will set 10 the pre little bitty. Let me know your thoughts and I'll read your comments out loud. Welcome everyone to the Q A segment.

Episode Summary: Bitcoin News Alerts | Daily BTC News - Episode 2053: “I’ve Done The Math. A Bitcoin Supply Shock Is Imminent” - Max Keiser
Release Date: July 17, 2025
Host: Justin Verrengia
In Episode 2053 of "Bitcoin News Alerts | Daily BTC News," host Justin Verrengia delves deep into the imminent supply shock in Bitcoin, featuring insights from renowned Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser. The episode covers a spectrum of critical topics, including institutional investments, government Bitcoin holdings, crypto market dynamics, and bold predictions about Bitcoin’s future.
At the heart of today's discussion is a groundbreaking revelation about the U.S. government's Bitcoin holdings. Contrary to widespread rumors of approximately 200,000 BTC, a recent FOIA request confirmed that the government holds less than 29,000 BTC (JV, 08:00). This significant discrepancy raises questions about the whereabouts of the remaining Bitcoins previously attributed to federal holdings.
Notable Quote:
"Massive bombshell news just confirmed the U. S government holds less than 29,000 BTC and not the 200,000 Bitcoin figure as rumors had had it." — JV (08:00)
The podcast highlights a serious concern involving a Russian national, Lori Gugnin, accused of laundering $530 million through the stablecoin Tether. This case underscores the ongoing challenges in regulating and monitoring crypto transactions to prevent illicit activities.
Notable Quote:
"Gugnin presented Aida as a legitimate crypto payment service but allegedly used it to secretly transfer legal funds for Russian clients." — JV (12:50)
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the surge in institutional investments in Bitcoin. The podcast reveals that institutions have doubled their investments in Bitcoin ETFs, with a notable inflow of 116,000 BTC. This influx indicates a growing confidence among large investors despite market volatility.
Notable Quote:
"Institutions are changing the way to react to the snap Bitcoin price moves, according to the Glassnode inflows into the spot US ETFs." — JV (17:39)
The episode examines Vanguard's position in the Bitcoin space, highlighting the irony of Vanguard being the largest shareholder in MicroStrategy (now Strategy B), a company heavily invested in Bitcoin, while maintaining an anti-Bitcoin stance publicly. This duality raises questions about Vanguard's strategy and future intentions regarding cryptocurrency exposure.
Notable Quote:
"Vanguard is now the largest institutional shareholder of MicroStrategy, best known for adopting Bitcoin on the balance sheet, despite being anti-Bitcoin." — JV (20:08)
Max Keiser, referred to as the "high priest of Bitcoin," shares his analysis stating that a Bitcoin supply shock is imminent. He predicts that as Bitcoin approaches and surpasses significant price milestones (e.g., $120,000), heightened competition for Bitcoin will intensify the global hash wars. This could potentially lead the U.S. government to seize publicly traded companies involved in Bitcoin, such as MicroStrategy, Coinbase, MERA, and Riot.
Notable Quote:
"At $400,000 Bitcoin, the global hash wars will be so intense the U.S. invokes national security and seizes publicly traded companies." — Max Keiser (30:00)
Additional Insights from Max Keiser:
Bitcoin as a Tool for Innovation: Keiser emphasizes Bitcoin’s role in fostering innovation, enabling instant payments for artists, global market access for small businesses without banks, and direct audience ownership for creators.
"Bitcoin is a tool that allows for innovation. It's about investing in a great future where artists get paid instantly for their work." — Max Keiser (33:42)
Bitcoin vs. Fiat Currency: Keiser foresees the U.S. dollar's demise as Bitcoin becomes the primary global reserve asset, leading to hyperbitcoinization where fiat currencies lose their value.
"Bitcoin will be the primary source of owning wealth. The dollar will become effectively worthless, losing 99.999% of all its value." — Max Keiser (35:07)
The podcast details Cantor Fitzgerald’s ambitious plan to acquire over 30,000 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $3.5 billion, from Adam Back’s Blockstream Capital. This strategic move is part of a broader trend of financial institutions increasing their Bitcoin holdings, contributing to the anticipated supply shock.
Notable Quote:
"Cantor Equity Partners is set to purchase more than three and a half billion dollars worth of Bitcoin from Adam Back's Blockstream Capital." — JV (27:46)
Host JV provides a comprehensive technical analysis of Bitcoin’s market behavior, noting a bullish trend with Bitcoin trading near the $120,000 mark. He discusses various chart patterns, including bullish flags and liquidity grabs, indicating strong support and potential for further price appreciation.
Notable Quote:
"Bitcoin is finding support just above the daily CME gap and it looks like we close a lot of those gaps which were created over the weekend." — JV (07:19)
The episode paints an optimistic yet cautionary picture of Bitcoin’s future. With significant institutional investments, diminishing government holdings, and strategic acquisitions by major financial firms, the stage is set for a potential supply shock that could drive Bitcoin’s value to unprecedented heights. Max Keiser’s bold predictions and the technical analysis provided by JV underscore the transformative impact Bitcoin could have on the global financial landscape.
Final Notable Quote:
"Bitcoin separates money from the state and it's unreproducible incentive and perfect decentralized structure means there will never be another." — Nipinator (34:07)
Despite the presence of advertisements and non-content segments, the episode remains a treasure trove of valuable insights for both seasoned Bitcoin enthusiasts and newcomers. Justin Verrengia masterfully navigates through complex topics, offering listeners a clear understanding of the current Bitcoin ecosystem and its promising trajectory.
For those keen to stay ahead in the Bitcoin sphere, Episode 2053 is a must-listen, providing a blend of expert analysis, market data, and forward-looking predictions that encapsulate the dynamic nature of cryptocurrency today.
