Nipinator
Nipinators somewhere around yonder.
JV
So pop in and say hello. I can hear his nails right now. Speaking of the chairman, there he is, all hell, the new Fed chair Nip. I'm rocking the cap to show my support. And happy birthday to Sergio. The one and only where we cop.
Nipinator
These incredible caps from.
JV
You can find them@bitcoincaps.net but anyways fam.
Nipinator
Let'S kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every day.
JV
Pulling up coin360 here on the screen.
Nipinator
The bulk of the market is back in the green, which is definitely a good sign. Yesterday we had a nice little pump of roughly a couple of thousand dollars as well. Ether's lead in the pack as far as the top coins today up five and a half percent trading just shy of 3700. The pretty low bitty trading just above 114. 8. And the bulk of the market pumping back in the green. And checking out coin market cap dot com. The current crypto market cap coming in today at 3.75 trillion. The all time high is just north of 4 trillion. So we're getting closer and closer to recapture it. Bitcoin market, yeah. Today $2.284 trillion. We got 135 billion worth of volume for the past 24 hours with a Bitcoin dominance coming in strong at 60.8% with Ether dominance at 11.8%. And checking out top 100 crypto gainers.
JV
Past 24 hours we have Meme Core up 31%, Mantle up 20% and Litecoin one of the OG coins up a solid 10% on the day. Let me know which altcoins any you're bullish on for the bull. Holl at your boy and checking out the crypto bubbles. Let's start on the daily. As you can see, the bulk of the market pumping in in the green. Safe to say 95% overall is a good indicator. Zooming out on the weekly, unfortunately I'd say it's like holy, maybe 90% wrecked in the red and only 10% in the green. Zoom it out a step further for the month. And there we have it. The bulk of the market in the green, maybe only 5% even in the red. And annual perspective here, the bulk of the market definitely in the green. Maybe 6040 split green over red. Zooming out crypto green and fear index style. Today is a 64 in greed. Yesterday was all the way back down to a 53 neutral. Last week at 75 and last month of 67. And checking out the infamous time chain calendar. Today it's block height 908,583 and we literally have 141417 blocks until the having.
Nipinator
A 2028 three years out right around the corner.
JV
It'll be here before you know it. And as of today, this fine day of 8-4-2025, you can exchange one fiat.
Nipinator
Monopoly dollar for 871sats. So you know precisely what needs to be done. You pick up the SATs, put down the cats and pick up some bitcoin caps.
JV
But we're gonna continue with where we left off here and here's the latest headline surrounding some TA AKA Astrology for the Broskis. And of course I'll be pulling up the live charts. This headline reads 110 support key is Bitcoin Enters a Bear month with a 5% dip oh no. Well silver lining, it's only day four of August.
Nipinator
Take that haters.
JV
But yeah, Bitcoin will likely need to hold above 110 support level to get a chance at retesting the all time high. Currently sitting at 123. 2. Bitcoin fell from 1183 Friday dropping to 112 on Sunday, a bearish start to a historically bad month for the biddy, according analysts Tony Sycamore. A lot will depend on how risk sentiment holds together after Friday's dire U.S. jobs report and new tariff developments, he said. The pullback from the all time high over the weekend tested and held the support coming from the former record high of 112 which was also the logical pullback target. Quoting him here, if risk sentiment stabilizes and bitcoin remains above the 112110 support.
Nipinator
It can retest the record high.
JV
However, just above here is significant monthly resistance at 125 which would send us the price discovery and I don't see the catalyst for that to break right now. Still, if risk appetite takes another leg lower during August and bitcoin were to see a sustained break of support, the correction could extend back down towards the 200 day moving average which is sitting at 99 3:55. Ironic. Yesterday we entertained a bear scenario as per Arthur Hayes just blaze and he.
Nipinator
Is suggesting that we can retrace down to a hundred thousand.
JV
Let me know if you agree disagree with that scenario. I still say we're more likely to hit a new all time high versus.
Nipinator
Retrace all the way back down to that target which is a very significant correction from the current price level. But I still am open to that happening.
JV
I know anything can happen.
Nipinator
Bitcoin's on its own trajectory. No one has no one's Edgar Casey. You know Ms. Cleo was a fraud pretending to be from Jamaica with a fake Jamaican act. There's only one Edgar Casey and there's only one Satoshi is my point. But let me know your thoughts on a retrace all the way back down to 100 GS. Since 2013, Bitcoin prices have typically registered monthly declines in August and in 2024 a Bitcoin shed 8% to fall to 59. This was a small loss compared to 2023 and 2022 when it lost double digits in August, falling to 27,019 8 respectively. Holy moly. You you guys remember that the average loss in August has been 11%. So historically August is a bearish month. So if history rhymes and bitcoin falls by a similar amount this month we can drop to 105. But you guys got to let me know your thoughts. You can see the chart shows exceptions to the rule because this is a bare market. That's the exception to the rule. This is the year preceding the having which is typically the most bullish time of the four year cycle. And I'm sure you guys know that the last time there was a gain in August was during the 2021 bull market. Bitcoin added 14% to the end of.
JV
The month hitting 47,000. So there's still hope as 2025 is also the bull market year. So don't get her twisted. Let's map out this week's amazing destinations and travel tips.
Will
Honestly Will, I didn't plan any trips, but I did switch to T Mobile with their new Family Freedom offer.
JV
That's not the itinerary we're following.
Will

JV
Still very bullish overall because you got to look at all the macroeconomic factors and the institutional adoption and things of that nature and things we'll dive upon throughout the rest of the show. But next up, let's actually pull up the live charts because, yeah, I mean, who cares what other people think? We can create our own analysis. There's a reason it's called astrology for the Broskis. We can all perceive the charts a little differently. And Nipinator has the number one indicator, the most accurate bitcoin indicator since the inception of the genesis block called the Nipinator indicator. Hence also the Nipinator lickinator indicator. There's several. But let's entertain it here. Looking at the one hour chart, no particular targets insight you should be able to see on your screen here. This is live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction, Bo Jackson, Tony Braxton for the baddies. And we throw in a little Joe Montana, Jerry Rice for my old school. You know, 49er fans from back in the day San Francisco represent. Hey, I used to live in California. What are you gonna do? But anyways, you can see we have been a little corrective here in the past few hours, but we'll see how we fare. We're on the cusp of reclaiming 115. Zooming it out a step further, taking a look at a four hour chart. The four hour chart, you can see it's pretty lit actually. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Out of the past 12 candles on the four hour chart, 10 of 12 are in the green. This means we got some momentum back. But we did correct clearly since Friday. Over the weekend we did touch around 111, but we did, you know, bounce right back. So yeah, it is what it is. Zooming out from here, taking a look at it and let me know if you took advantage of the dip btfd, you know, I mean, and sasak. And Saturday was a great time to do so. But as you can see here on the daily yesterday green candle, today already the day is young, still already a green candle forming. We do have a purple target in play which is a bull flag scenario sitting at 146. 4. Again, bull flag, target in play for the Bulls, 146. 4, as per the daily chart. You guys got to let me know your thoughts on that particular target. I say it's only a matter of time. It's destiny. The question is by what day? Now checking out the weekly rising wedgie. Very bullish momentum overall. You can see the weekly green candles. We did have seven of them consecutively before getting a little red terrain correctiveness. And then we continue to gain and also you know when we hit the highest monthly close for the month of July, we also have seen in the month of July the highest weekly closes and bitcoin history. So hopefully the momentum can continue. There is a rising wedge which is bullish and there is a cup and handle target sitting just north of 124 which we've already came within striking distance of when we hit the all time high of the 123 2. So we came within 800 already from that roughly two weeks ago. Hopefully we can continue and break through and checking out for the monthly you.
Nipinator
Can see 1 2, 3, 4 we had four green consecutive monthly closes in.
JV
The green and now for the month.
Nipinator
Of August we're only four days deep and there's an itty bitty red corrective candle forming which hey, that can flip at any moment.
JV
But you guys got to let me know your thoughts.
Nipinator
Where do you feel the preload bitty likely take us next? No Diddy and I'll read your comments out loud.
JV
All right, next story. Yo particular headline here crypto fun C223 million of outflows ending the 15 week streak now. No, it's ironic. We just had four months of green consecutive monthly candle closes as I pointed out in our TA and it seems to go in alignment with the success of the ETS with the inflows. And now the ETF inflows finally had an outflow streak. We're witnessing a correction, so check this Crypto Investment products ended last week on a red, interrupting 15 weeks of consecutive inflows after investor sentiment took a hit from the hawkish remarks from the FOMC meeting.
Nipinator
Down with J pal in with inator.
JV
Global crypto etp saw 223 million worth of outflows last week, according to the report. Despite a strong start to the week.
Nipinator
With 883 million of inflows, the trend reversed in the second half of the week. Who would have thunk? Likely triggered by the hawkish FOMC meeting. I blame Jay Powell quoting the report here. Given we have seen U S.12.2 billion net inflows over the last 30 days, representing 50% of the inflows for the year thus far, it is perhaps understandable to see what we believe to be minor profit taking and referring to the bitcoin miners, obviously not the underage children.
JV
Peter Schiffer brains But anyways, U S Fed J Pal's remarks also dampen investor expectations of an interest rate cut for September to 40 from 63 before the FOMC meeting. The decline in sentiment comes as Bitcoin enters August and as we pointed out earlier, historically August is one of the worst performing months. However, the silver lining this is the year in particular after the having which we witnessed last year and typically the year preceding the having is typically bullish. In this four year part of the cycle, Bitcoin products accounted for the bulk of last week's losses with 404 million of outflows. Despite the pullback, some analysts said Bitcoin's next catalyst may arrive after the summer recess. In a research NER note published by Matrix Port, they said Bitcoin can gain traction when the US Congress reconvenes after Labor Day. Quoting the report, Fiscal uncertainty has historically been a powerful tailwind for the hard assets and Bitcoin remains front and center in the narrative and then Ether defies the broader fund retreat. Despite the outflows amongst global crypto funds, ether ETPs closed the fifth 15th week of net positive inflows, which also explains why the price action of ETH has been increasing. So I definitely see a correlation with the ETF inflows when Ether price rises. Typically there's lots of inflows and same concept with Bitcoin and vice versa. When there's outflows for the week we tend to get get a correction, but there's the latest on that. Let's continue with the Black Rock news, shall we? Headline here reads Black Rock Bitcoin ETF set for the monstrous Lead with the SEC options that's right, Black Rock's market dominating spot Bitcoin ETF may get bigger after the US SEC increased position limits for many of the bitcoin funds. According to the crypto financial services firm nydig, the SEC on Tuesday increase the number of allowed option contracts from 25, 000 to 250 GS.
Nipinator
That's a 5x baby for all the.
JV
ETF SWIT options, which includes the Ishares Bitcoin Trust which is better known as the ibit, but not for the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin fund, nydig's global head of research said in a report on.
Nipinator
Friday, quoting them right here. The change is likely to widen the monstrous lead that I've been already had.
JV
Over the other players.
Nipinator
While it hobbles FBTC's position as the second largest options player, IBIT has 85 and a half billion dollars in assets under management, four times as much as FBTC, the second largest. So you can see they have a massive pole position there. The latter only has 21 billion now this guy said that the SEC's decision to raise option positions limits on Bitcoin ETAs would likely suppress the bitcoin volatility and lead to more spot demand. Quoting him again, this change enables the more aggressive implementation of option strategies like covered in selling where the traders sell the call option while owning the underlying asset, which limits the downside risk but also the amount gain from the trade. Now he also added that less volatility makes Bitcoin appealing on the risk parity basis, potentially drawing in the new capital from the institutional portfolios looking for the exposure to the balance risk. The feedback loop of falling volatility leading to increased spot buying could become a powerful driver for the sustained demand. The SEC went ahead with a slew of various ETF related regulatory approvals on Tuesday, most notably approving the in kind creation and redemptions over the crypto ETFs allowing the exchange of shares for the underlying crypto instead of the cash. We all know cash is trash now.
JV
He also said that the key feature ETF issuers he wanted before their products were approved and now that it is it will have import impacts on the market structure and investor access. He added that the ART authorized participants the APS financial institutions and manage the create the redemption of the ETF shares. They won't have crypto capabilities. They'll likely not be able to take advantage of the arbitrage activities and the competitive price. There's only two APS as of today, Jane Street. That's where the infamous I believe Bankman Fried and who was his lady's name? The one with the grippy from Mississippi, Caroline Ellison. I believe they're both from Jane street and Virtu. They also have corresponding crypto entities that can trade both sides of the trade. Sounds like manipulation but anyways we expect broker dealers that don't have crypto capabilities to acquire or to partner to keep up. I guess if the SEC allows to them it looks like they're running the show. But you already know. What are your thoughts on some of that? Let me know. And speaking of the grippy from Mississippi, the Carolina Ellison, is she a free? Is she free? I know she ratted on her former boyfriend Bankman Freed the one they were having the orgies with at the mansion in the Bahamas. But that's you know, a different topic of conversation. But they're always very interesting. Always very interesting.
Nipinator
But we're going to continue.
JV
Meta Planet just made another purchase, first purchase of August which is a big deal. They've been Stacking like they ain't no tomorrow. Meta Planet, the Japanese version of strategy headline here. Bitcoin company Meta Planet kicks off August with the first big buy scooping up.
Nipinator
463Btc like JV scooping the ice cream chocolate style. Meta Planet snapped up 463 at the.
JV
BTC today Monday, making the first public company to capitalize on Bitcoin's 5% weekend dip. So congratulations. Meta Planet, the Japanese investment firm bought.
Nipinator
The Bitcoin for 8 billion Japanese yen, which is 53 million of the USD, an average purchase price of roughly $115,895 per coin. According to the statement.
JV
This brought Meta Planet's bitcoin holdings to.
Nipinator
Now 17,595 of the BTC worth over 2 billion USD, maintaining its position as the world's seventh largest corporate Bitcoin.
JV
Hodler.
Nipinator
You can see their CEO right here. Simon Metal Planet is acquired 463 of the BTC for 53 million at 115,800 per Bitcoin, achieving a Bitcoin yield of 459 year to date as of August 4th, we hold 17, 595 at a BTC acquired for 1.78 billion at 101,000 per coin. That's what winning looks like, fam. And while Meta Planet may be the first public company to announce buying the bitcoin in August, it followed a huge week of corporate crypto buying. In the last week of July, 16.
JV
Firms collectively added 7.8 billion worth of crypto to their Treasuries inflows into the spot. Bitcoin ETFs also performed strongly in July and then saw 812 million of outflows for the month of August already for, you know, beginning of the month here. Meta Planets perhaps purchase reflects the firm's intent to keep accumulating bitcoin despite the recent macroeconomic indicators suggesting possible challenges ahead. They welcome the challenge. The Simon led Firm is now 8.4% of the way from achieving the target of 210000 Bitcoin, equivalent to 1% of the total supply by the end of 2027. And these numbers don't jive in my brain. I don't think this is accurate. How can they only be 8% away from achieving 210,000 bitcoin when we just said they only have. Not that it's only, but in comparison to that big number they only have 17,000. So that's definitely a typo coin telegraph. So get your together and Gary, if you're listening. Go home and get your shine box. There's a a certain message from Nipinator channeled right there for you. Live it in the flesh. But anyways, Sailor even referred to one of Strategy's preferred stock offerings. Tickered STRC is the company's iPhone moment. After recently raising 2 1/2 billion worth of funds for the firm term. They already announced the acquisition. Done deal. We covered that in the pod. And then he announced raising another 4.6 billion. And you know, he upped the 2121 plan which he gave the PowerPoint about at the Bitcoin conference. Now it's the 4242 plan. $42 billion worth of Bitcoin about to be purchased from Strategy gobbling it up.
Nipinator
Like you know, the ghost chasing Pac Man.
JV
It's pretty wild. But anyways, Meta Planet Stock is up 6% for the annual dividend depending upon the market conditions and investor demand. Meta Planet currently trail strategy naturally Marathon, which is the second largest bitcoin standard treasury company Riot platforms and Trump Media and bitcoin accumulation. According to the bitcoin treasuries data. More bitcoin companies are emerging. There's currently 162 Hodling, Hodling, Hodling the bitcoin on the balance sheet from 112 on May 26. And it looks like that shit's not.
Nipinator
Gonna slow down anytime soon.
JV
More and more companies are adopting the.
Nipinator
Bitcoin treasury play because I mean look at Michael Saylor. He flipped his company from being worth 400 million market cap back in 2020 to today north of 120 billion. So naturally everyone's just following the Sailor put the bitcoin alchemist and Pompliano has a bitcoin treasury company. Trump and his family have a bitcoin treasury company. Jack Mers has a bitcoin treasury company. I mean who doesn't nip? Anator is like the only one not in the game. And who knows, maybe Nipinator will start his own treasury company here soon.
JV
But anyways, let's continue next story of the day fam. As you can see here, Gro just said Peter Shift predicted bitcoin to crash 237 times in the last 14 years. Meanwhile, bitcoin since then is up over 1 million percent. Can't make this up. In fact, there was just an article published on the particular topic. So let's break it down. Artificial intelligence platform Grok has tallied 237 distinct bearish predictions by Peter Schiff for brains forecasting Bitcoin's crash demise or worthlessness. Since 2011 and over the same period, the OG crypto price, as you know, has soared over 1 million percent, turning his relentless warnings into a chronicle of spectacularly mistimed pessimism. That's a nice way of saying it. Gro's findings, shared by Bitcoin magazine, stem from an exhaustive review of Shift's public statements, tweets, interviews and articles stretching back to his bitcoin infancy. The AI tailored 237instances where the gold bug declared bitcoin a bubble, predicted its imminent crash, or asserted it would become worthless. Now the pattern suggests or the bearishness remained remarkably consistent. Even today, he's still spewing like, bitcoin's going to go to zero, guys. For example, July 11, Shift urged investors to sell Bitcoin at 118,000 and buy silver, claiming the crypto is overvalued and speculative. Days later, it hit the new all time high. I mean, even a broken clock. Peter is right. At least two times a day, for Christ's sake. Additionally, he dismissed Bitcoin as just another meme coin. Oh, okay. Earlier this year, despite its price surpassing a hundred thousand for the first time, also in an X space, he called bitcoin a fraud and predicted bankruptcy for Sailor Strategy. I remember that interview. The bitcoin treasury company has since reported record revenues following a bumper per quarter for the bitcoin price, with its books showing a net income of 10. Oh, yeah. So Sailor just had their earnings report for Strategy. They earned over 10 billion just in the second quarter of this year. While Peter Schiff continues to repeat in his megaphone, no one listens to that. It's going to zero. Okay, Peter Shift, whatever you say. Shift for brains. Shifts critiques often focus on the bitcoin volatility in correlation to the tech stock and its perceived failure to act as.
Nipinator
Digital goal during market stress.
JV
As he reiterated forcefully on Aug. 1.
Nipinator
When bitcoin dipped 3% and then gold actually rose.
JV
Holy moly, he's so funny.
Nipinator
The social media reaction was swift and sardonic, with one user quipping, can someone check on him, please? That's right, we got to send health checks to the house because you just never know how he's doing. Despite Shifts unwavering skepticism, Bitcoin currently boasts a market value of 2.27 trillion. Still at exposure experienced a dip this week. As you know, we did touch 111, 112 before bouncing back to where we're at roughly 115. But just imagine how much money Peter Schiff would be worth if he took a few dollars and just put it into bitcoin backs when Max Kaiser brought it up to him when it was sub $1. And also I was researching some of.
JV
The posts on Kaiser's timeline on X and Kaiser did say often times to Peter to buy bitcoin. Tracing back all the way back when it was less than a dollar a coin. And there were six instances in particular that grock identified of Max telling Peter about bitcoin. And then naturally, Peter just try to make fun of Max and bitcoiners. And who gets the last laugh now? Peter. Tis what it is. You dug your own grave. Saw Peter shift at the Vegas conference. Hopefully he's not there next year.
Nipinator
Agreed.
JV
I'm not a big fan of grown men who. Who flex online about sleeping with underage girls as if it's a cool thing or a good thing or trying to stick up for Epstein. Not a good look, Peter. So in my opinion, you don't belong at a bitcoin conference. And number two, your ego needs to be in check. Because at the most recent big bitcoin conference, not only was he allowed at the event, he was a featured speaker. And then he was dunking on all the other influencers there taking the credit for being responsible for orange pilling more bitcoiners than anyone else at the conference, including Max and Stacy. Peter, reality check. No one gives a about your they entertain it for comedy. At this point, no one takes you serious. And no, you do not get credit for orange pilling more people than every other influencer at the event. I'm gonna stick with Max and Stacy. They've orange pilled millions upon millions of people. And there's proof of work via The Kaiser Report. 2500 episodes. Peter, all you did was mislead investors. And if they listen to you, they're more than likely poor. So you get no credit, you have no credibility. And I pray you're not at the next conference.
Nipinator
And we'll leave it at that.
JV
And if I do see you at the next conference, I'm gonna laugh at you. Just keeping it real. All right, now for our feature story of the day, France's resemblance. National party backs bitcoin mining with nuclear energy. That's right. Bitcoin global hash war just went nuclear. So let's break this baby down. As you can see in the headline right here. But first, I gotta give credit where credit is due. Max Kaiser coined the term global hash war back in 2019. Predicted nations would switch from trying to ban the bitcoin to start hoarding bitcoin as a strategic reserve. One year later, bitcoin country was birthed with Najib Buchele El Salvador and they got the first movers advantage. They started the domino effect and now there's countries all around the world that has already joined the global hash war. Yesterday's main topic in the show was Pakistan secretly building a strategic bitcoin reserve. And we've been covering all sorts of stories of nations around the world, but here is the proof of work. And Max has been talking about global hash war forever. Back when everyone's saying but the government.
Nipinator
Is going to ban it.
JV
Clearly they didn't understand because now governments.
Nipinator
Around the world are hoarding the btc.
JV
And guess what? Once again Max was right. So let's break this baby down. Resembling national rn, a French political party is reportedly pushing to mine bitcoin using surplus energy from the nuclear power plant. Signaling a shift from the leader's previous anti crypto stance. That's right. France was known for being anti crypto at one point. Now they're going full retard. Let's go. French newspaper outlet Lamonde reported last week on RN leader and three time presidential candidate Marine Le Pen now backs using idle nuclear energy for bitcoin mining. That's right. She reportedly promoted a plan during a visit to Flammondville nuclear plant in March or on March 11th. A divine omen with that 11 the party said the initiative will turn wasted electricity into secure and extremely profitable digital assets.
Nipinator
They're speaking my language.
JV
And precisely what it should do.
Nipinator
All energy should go towards the highest and best use. And what is a better and higher and better use than mining bitcoin, Especially if it's excess. You.
JV
I mean.
Nipinator
Now according to Lende RN lawmaker All Earlan Lopez has spearheaded the proposal at the French Parliament, drafted the bill to install mining infrastructure at sites operated by the energy giant edf. The shift reflects broader momentum with the political party to embrace bitcoin as a tool for economic sovereignty. That's right. Lopez also said that the party wants to use every bit of energy produced to eliminate waste.
JV
And that's actually a pretty big deal now. Also here it says RN suffers internal disputes on the crypto stance. So it seems to be a divide. The pro crypto position marks a major.
Nipinator
Reversal from RN stance back in 2016.
JV
Imagine if they would have started mining with nuclear energy back then. But hey, we all pay for bitcoin at the price we deserve. Just saying because this was back when they were Calling for a ban on cryptos. So again, Everything just turned complete 180 as Max Kaiser predicted in a press release at the time, Le Pen said.
Nipinator
That more money is dematerialized and digitized.
JV
The more people will lose ownership of their money. She described making cash disappear in favor.
Nipinator
Of digital currencies as an alienation of man to benefit from the global banking system.
JV
Now Le Pen said currency is a.
Nipinator
National good entrusted to the people.
JV
Because of this, she promised to prevent.
Nipinator
The use of crypto in France.
JV
As if Bitcoin is evil and fiat is like our savior.
Nipinator
It's quite the opposite there, but at least they get it now. Within the party ideolog ideologies contradicting the.
JV
Bitcoin ethos of decentralization persists, RN finance led Jean Philippi said the party should.
Nipinator
Not embrace currency independent of the reaffirm its belief in centralized monetary policy.
JV
As you know, typically the state is.
Nipinator
Very pro centralization and naturally Bitcoin is decentralized. It is the only form of money which cannot be controlled by the state. Hence why we trust it.
JV
Just saying.
Nipinator
Despite the ideological rift, the right wing RN remains France's most active political force.
JV
In advancing crypto legislation.
Nipinator
Good lord. While left leaning parties continue to focus on environmental impact of mining and the association with illicit finance, RN has attracted.
JV
Crypto lobbyists and entrepreneurs who see the party as pro business according to Lamonde.
Nipinator
And there you have it. Yo, what are your thoughts on that as France joins the global hash war? Let me know. So now we have France, we got.
JV
Pakistan, we got talks of Russia, China, a lot of giants which you know, I mean have been moving towards bitcoin adoption in one way, shape or form. Whether not directly with a Bitcoin strategic reserve or a treasury for the country.
Nipinator
Maybe indirectly it's happening.
JV
And Japan adoption has been massive. As far as companies like Meta Planet like our concern and there's a lot of new treasury firms being birthed out of there. So really on all the continents Bitcoin global hash war in full effect. Obviously Buell El Salvador got the first movers advantage as they sparked the global hash war. But you ain't seen nothing yet. I believe it's going to create the mother of all supply shock. Who's going to be the first country to have a million bitcoin on the balance sheet? Will it be Trumpster with the usa? Or could it be freaking Pakistan or France or China or Russia? Or a country like Brazil which I believe is the largest country in South America, over 200 million people or Will it be a country like India? We've already discussed this as well. India and country or India and China were both anti crypto for the longest time as well. There was always the fud of them banning bitcoin as if they could possibly do that.
Nipinator
Now they're fully embracing it.
JV
So all the countries that had a anti crypto stance are now pro bitcoin.
Nipinator
What does that mean?
JV
Global hash war. Game theory in full effect as prophesied by the high priest. Game on. This can send bitcoin parabolic A million per coin.
Nipinator
10 million per coin. The reality Bitcoin has no top because fiat has no bottom.
JV
And another thing to consider, the purchasing.
Nipinator
Power of the dollar is mathematically guaranteed to decrease as they continue to print.
JV
And it's a guarantee they're going to continue to print.
Nipinator
They have to.
JV
And on the other side of that coin, Bitcoins purchasing power is mathematically guaranteed to increase against the dwindling value of the dollar. So real estate and all assets and commodities are ultimately being demonetized in real time. And a great example of that is real estate. Think 10 years ago how many bitcoins.
Nipinator
It took to buy the average home in the US Hundreds, if not maybe even a thousand plus. Today five bitcoin. I can dare say you can get the average home in America because I don't think it's a half a million dollars as there's places where things are.
JV
Cheaper, there's places like New York where things cost more. But I would dare say the average home in America maybe right now is.
Nipinator
Probably somewhere between 3 and $500,000. Probably I'd say 400000 range.
JV
I'm just guessing but so as you.
Nipinator
Know what's going to happen in another five years that five bitcoin to buy a half million dollar home today you may be able to buy with 0.5 Bitcoin. That's because bitcoin is demonetizing everything like a black hole. All money in the world is going towards bitcoin just like all energy in the world is going towards bitcoin because bitcoin is the highest and best use. So stack the biddy and no diddy and leave it at that. And welcome everyone to the Q A segment of the live stream.
