We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market. All this plus so much more in today's show. If you're new to the Rumble, important to smash the likes, give us a follow and hit that repost over on x. Today is Pod Episode 2069. I'm your host JV Happy Taco Tuesday. It's August 5th, 2025. Alongside your fed Chairman Nipinator right behind me. Make sure to say what's good to the Nip. But let's kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. You should be able to see coming up here on the screen, we're having A bit of a correction. As you'll see, it's updating. Give it a second. I don't know what's good with these coin360 popup ads, but they're extremely annoying. But as you can see, the bulk of the market in the red and correcting Bitcoin down 74% on the day, trading just under 114,000. Ether is trading back under 3600 and XRP trading back below 3 bucks. And checking out coin market cap.com the current crypto market cap coming in at 3.71 trillion. The all time highest just north of 4 trillion. The Bitcoin market cap on the decline as well. It's back down to 2.266 trillion. We have 147 billion worth of volume for the past 24 hours with Bitcoin dominance coming in at 61.1% and 11.7% for the Ether dominance. Checking out top one hundo crypto gainers past 24 hours. Pump fun leading the pack up 16%. Mantle up 7 and what do we got next? Dexi up 5%. Very modest gains on the grand scheme of things. And checking out the crypto bubbles to get a visual perspective on the day. Virtually everything correcting.
Nipinator
And in the red not a good.
JV
Look minus Pump fund for whatever reason.
Nipinator
Pumping on the day.
JV
But it is a shitcoin casino platform. I don't know if they even ever got their account back from X.
Nipinator
Remember around the time my ex account.
JV
Got hacked and then I helped contribute with getting the Pump Fun account removed because they were promoting all these scams and especially on my hacked account at the time.
Nipinator
The good news, the silver lining is I got my account back now and.
JV
The Pump Fund official account got shut down.
Nipinator
That's karma for you. But you can see on the daily virtually everything corrected. Checking out on the weekly very similar scenario. Zooming out on the monthly everything is in the green virtually. I'd say 90 to 95 of the market. Zooming out for the yearly an annual perspective is pretty divided. I'd say 6040 green over red. And checking out the crypto greed and fear index today we're back at a.
JV
60 which is considered greed. And it looks like we got some pop up ads here too. 64 yesterday, last week of 73 and last month of 66 in greed and checking out the infamous time chain calendar today we're on block height 908,748. We have 141,252 blocks until the having of 2028 Tik Tok next block approximately every 10 minutes. And as of today Taco Tuesday August 5th, 2025. You can exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 878 sets. So you know precisely what to do. You pick up the stats, put down the gats, pick up some bitcoin caps. Yeah. So next headline fam and we'll pull up the live charts. This particular headline says Bitcoin analysis warns the price is going lower first as 113 slips. Here you're looking at the one hour chart. You can see a big red candle. But I'll pull up the live chart when I'm done with this analysis. Trading view showed the price action wedged between areas of high order book liquidity. Room for movement was thus limited and the short term forecast favored downwards. Next, the next move. Bitcoin's going lower before it goes higher according to material indicators. It showed a chart of the bitcoin order book liquidity on bance revealing a lack of significant bid support above 110. Also glass note eyed the cost basis of the recent bitcoin buyers. Likewise suggesting the area around the old all time high could provide a bitcoin price floor. Quoting them here. For bitcoin the air gap between 109.
Nipinator
And 116 is gradually being filled on dips.
JV
The staircase pattern points to steady investor engagement over the past month. So far we see limited distribution from.
Nipinator
The 118120 range suggesting these Hodlers are opting to hold through where my diamond nuts at. Make some noise.
JV
Not everyone was concerned about more significant price dip.
Nipinator
That's right. Analyzing liquidity they stress the allore of overhead ask. Look at Bitcoin. Almost 70% of liquidations are shorts sitting above us. That means there's a massive pool of the fuel waiting to get gobbled up. Institutions love playing with these liquidity hotspots and we are watching for that flush.
JV
And they make a great point there. And there's typically always some form of manipulation going on at the market between the market makers and the whales. Popular trader Dan crypto trades eyed resistance in the form of the 200 period. Simple moving exponential averages on the four hour time frame. Quoting them here. The bulls need to break this region to get back in control and start aiming higher and higher. Also another trader, Macau Van Day Pop said patience is required when it comes to bitcoin. No breakout upwards, no breakout downwards. Volatility slowing down means big move is on the horizon once again. And also some big news just came in today. Michigan State pension Fund did make the announcement. They bought 10.7 million worth of Bitcoin. The floodgates have officially opened. America is buying the btc. And now let's actually pull up some of the live charts and see how we're doing right now. Live it in the flesh. It's 4:31pm Eastern August 5th. Same time zone here or I shouldn't say the same time zone, but it's the same time in Puerto Rico. It's not considered eastern but we are in alignment with New York time right now and that shifts every six months. Just want to throw that out there. But anyways, pulling up some of the live charts, here's the one hour we have recovered. You can see the big red candle from this morning that seemed to have been the bottom which is a good sign because 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 candles have been printed since and four of the five candles are green and have some form of significance. But there's no particular target sitting on the one hour. So we're going to work our way backwards. The four hour chart. Again, live it in the flesh. You can see two green candles have formed since the big red candle from again earlier this morning. And no particular target on the four hour. We'll work our way to the daily and I'm going to assume there's going to be a bull target of 147.
Nipinator
I'm guesstimating.
JV
Let's see, there's a purple target. This is the daily chart. I haven't pulled up charts yet.
Nipinator
Today this is live and in flesh.
JV
The damn. I was pretty close. It's 1464. Bull flag scenario.
Nipinator
Purple target live. Locked in here. Rising wedgie bull flag 146. Let me know when you feel we'll likely hit that. The current all time high is123.2, which we achieved roughly two and a half weeks ago. And zooming out on the weekly, you can see here Rising Wedgie 124 target. We came inches away from that when we recently tapped 1232. And yeah, the silver lining here is there's been a lot of bullish momentum on the weekly chart. We have been getting the highest weekly closes we have ever seen since the inception of bitcoin. But obviously thus far for the week it's been a corrective red even though we're only two days deep. Stay tuned. And checking out the monthly. The monthly also right off the top, my dome here.
JV
I know the silver lining.
Nipinator
We just had the highest monthly close in Bitcoin history above 115 for the month of July. We're only five days in August. Thus far it's printing a red. But the silver lining again is we had 120 days of bullish momentum. Four green candle prints on the monthly chart. But you guys got to let me know your thoughts where you feel the prelo biddy likely take us next.
JV
Next headline is going to be Kango, a Chinese company. Another bitcoin treasury firm has been birthed. So let's break this one down. I'll read you the headline. We'll dive into the story.
Nipinator
Excuse me.
JV
Headline Kango Post Massive July Bitcoin Hall Boosting the Corporate Treasury China. Oh my God. The hash war is in full effect. Three months after divesting into the Auto Financing Unit to focus on bitcoin mining, Chinese conglomerate Kango, with the initials C A N G I guess that's their ticker has significantly ramped up their production indicating let's map out this week's amazing destinations and travel tips.

A Bit Main mining rigs is enhancing the capacity amid intensifying industry competition. Kango produced 650 at a BTC in July, a sharp increase from 450 Bitcoin in June, according to the Far side data. They also noted they added Kango to the minor dashboard while removing Hut 8 due to the lack of monthly production disclosures. I mean, here's a official post from Far side Minor monthly production btc. We've added Kango to the minor dashboard and removed Hut, which no longer reports each month. In July of 2025, Kang reported a massive production figure of 650 at the BTC, with the company now holding 4529 Bitcoin. So you already know Kango mined the 940 or 54 Bitcoin in April and May, the first two months following the full transition into bitcoin mining. They hold 4,529 bitcoin now worth 512 million, more than a half of billion stash, placing it Amongst the top 20 public traded Bitcoin holders, as data shows. Also approaching the ranks like giants like Gamestop and Pro Cap. Step up your game game Stop the surge in production follows Kango's 256 million purchase of mining rigs from Bit Main, securing 32 EXAH hashes of the hash rate and as you know, the bitcoin price follows the hash. The deal announced last November as part of the broader 400 million investment strategy, mark Cono's official pivot from auto financing to Bitcoin mining Smart pivot highest and best use Bitcoin all day. The company shift was part of the broader diversification strategy aimed at capitalizing on the growth of digital assets. Kango said it's leveraged its existing infrastructure and experience in digital asset management to.
Nipinator
Drive its pivot into the bitcoin mining.
JV
Despite the recent dip in the share.
Nipinator
Price, the negative year to date performance, their stock rallied 158% over the past 12 months. Much of that momentum began last fall when the company announced a big push into bitcoin mining. And that's the trend. These companies make announcements adopting bitcoin some way somehow and then their stock goes absolutely parabolic. Sailor being the Greatest example with MicroStrategy now known as Strategy B. And before the crypto transition, Kango was priorly primarily known as a Chinese automotive, finance and company platform, at least providing consumer loans facilitating online vehicle exports. The company went public back in 2018. Notably, Kango remained headquartered in China, a country with a complex and often restrictive stance on crypto. You can say that again. Bitcoin mining was effectively banned in China in mid-2021, and as Galaxy Research reported, government restrictions on the mainland drove hash rate to neighboring countries at the time like Kazan, as well as to the United States as part of a more strategic shift in mining production. And if you don't know, now you know. And guess what? The countries that once were fudding bitcoin saying they were going to ban it soon realized that was impossible and now they're fully embracing it. Sometimes they still fight it in the headlines of course, because they're the forces of evil. Yeah, I mean, no different than a Jim Cramer or Jamie Demon. Meanwhile, what are they doing behind closed doors stacking sats like there ain't no tomorrow.
JV
Another headline here regarding treasury plays, but let me make sure I got the right article pulled up. There we go. Bitcoin treasuries at 630 BTC while ETF shed 300 million as the price ranges. That's right, we finally had a ETF outflow week after. I think it was like 12 to 15 weeks of consecutive bullishness. So let's break this one down. Bitcoin is still a solid buy for market participants, even as many, including institutional investors, rush for the exit it Capriole data showed. On Monday, corporate bitcoin treasuries added 72 million with 630 BTC. So they're not slowing down. The figure marks a new August high, reflecting a divergence in sentiment between Treasuries and other large scale investors. The Same day the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of 323 million. The largest ETF Black Rocks IBIT shed 292 million and one of the largest daily outflows of 2025, which is, you know, all documented there. Also Capriole reveal corporate treasury interest stayed strong throughout July with the biggest day July 21st seeing buys of over 26, 700 Bitcoin. That's roughly 3 billion in USD. Capriole founder Charles Edwards noted On rare occasions treasury see large outflows and the local price bottoms are nearby. Quoting him here every time Bitcoin treasury company's daily sales have extended exceeded 1500 over the last cycle has been at the local price lows.
Nipinator
An example that's a buy signal Nipinator.
JV
Indicator in full effect. The last time that such outflows were recorded was all the way back on March 31, when the treasury sold over 1700 Bitcoin worth 194 million. That's when Bitcoin fell to lows of.
Nipinator
74, 500 one week later.
JV
Now expectations were high for Monday's ETF results with QCP Capital saying they would dictate the short term market mood quoting them here and inflows resume or if inflows resume and volume metrics begin to compress, it would divide stronger evidence that current conditions may support by the dip narrative and Bloomberg ETAV analyst Eric Balchunas, however, said the current conditions could constitute a classic opportunity.
Nipinator
Quoting him here A lot of dooming going on but don't be surprised if the traders buy them on freaking dip dip dip. Exactly.
JV
Why?
Nipinator
Because it works and has had for literally decades. Precisely. I mean, let's read Baltunas's actual post right here. A lot of the doom and going on. But don't be surprised if traders buy the dip. Why it works and has had literally for decades. Here's a look at the average weekly return after the dip. Not as good a pop as it produced in 2021 in the 90s, but still positive. And the chart done Tell no Lies shows you the average weekly return after buying the dip. A great BTF dip BTFD opportunity. And if you don't know I better ask your mama. And there you have it. ETFs big deal. We never had institutions really until January of 2024 when those ETFs went live. The 11 that went live. Ironic on the 11th 1111. And so now the volume is unprecedented, breaking all previous records of anything that has ever come before it. And DTEFs I feel and this is year two, they're just getting started. Hasn't even officially been two years yet. It was January of last year so it's literally a year and a half.
JV
Think of it this way.
Nipinator
BlackRock single handedly one ETF of the 11 that launched initially already has over 700,000 Bitcoin microstrategy now known as Strategy B. They've been in existence for five years with their bitcoin strategy when they adopted it and they have north of 600000 so BlackRock is outpacing strategy and sailor by a factor of virtually 5x. Those two companies Strategy and BlackRock single handedly have close to 1.4 million Bitcoin which is roughly 7% of the entire supply. So you do the math. The math is so simple. Amy, Karen could do the math. It's simple supply and demand.
JV
So anyways, now we discuss all the treasury plays. Let's discuss the ultimate treasury play and that's a Sailors bitcoin company Sailor strategy.
Nipinator
Has doubled as bitcoin stash since Trump's election Holy.
JV
And he's been doing this since 2020. First publicly trade company to put a video on the balance sheet. Sailors Bitcoin treasury firm has more than.
Nipinator
Doubled its holdings since last November. That's pretty wild.
JV
Strategy has accumulated 376, 571 bitcoin worth 43 billion since Trump's election victory. And before Trump's win it had taken.
Nipinator
Strategy a little over four years to accumulate that 252 000.
JV
So it took Sailor four years to accumulate 252000 and the price was way cheaper.
Nipinator
The price then hits all time highs.
JV
Goes higher than it's ever been and then Sailor still accumulates over 376 or 376,000 bitcoins since Trump's election victory in November of last year. That's just mindboggling. This means the firm acculated accumulated 60% of its current 628,000 bitcoin stash in.
Nipinator
The last nine months as Trump has.
JV
Ushered in a raft of pro crypto regulations and scrap the previous Biden era.
Nipinator
Policies of enforcement actions against the industry. The war on crypto is over.
JV
Over now.
Nipinator
I mean charts can speak volumes.
JV
Strategies holdings doubling since the U S election.
Nipinator
I mean look at that chart.
JV
Straight parabolic Monday Strategy disclosed to the SEC it bought 21021 bitcoin for 2.
Nipinator
1/2 billion in the past week, the.
JV
Third largest purchase by dollar value since.
Nipinator
It began accumulating Bitcoin five years ago in 2020.
JV
It has been buying at historically high prices. And Sailors famous for saying I'm going.
Nipinator
To be buying the top top forever.
JV
Laura. Also the firm made two purchases that were huge as well. 55,000 Bitcoin for 5.4 billion and 51,000.
Nipinator
Bitcoin for 4.6 billion following the Trump.
JV
US election in November. Those were the largest purchases. Also strategy executive chair described bitcoin as freedom virus in a segment on Fox.
Nipinator
Business on Monday, quoting them here. We think it of it as a.
JV
Warm creature, or let me rephrase that.
Nipinator
We think of it as a swarm.
JV
Creature because everywhere in the world there's someone supporting the bitcoin ecosystem. Hence I guess we're the cyber hornets.
Nipinator
We're a honey badger that just don't give a It's about the unstoppable as.
JV
A swarm of hornets.
Nipinator
Adding that Strategy aims to provide twice the returns of bitcoin alone by issuing credit instruments, obviously producing a bitcoin yield. And here's Sailor flexing on X Today.
JV
I broke down why bitcoin is a swarm of hornets.

JV
He also shares that it's not a.
Nipinator
Problem all those companies who are adopting the bitcoin standard. It is just companies deciding to put internal combustion engines in their machines or use electricity or Internet or computers. It is going to become the rule over time. Also recently Strategy posted a record 10 billion dollar profit from the second quarter, which they shared on their earnings call. Strategies holdings are now worth 72.2 billion worth of Bitcoin purchased at an average cost of 73,000 per BTC and they currently hold 3% of the entire Bitcoin circulating supply. And more recently, Sailor came out and said his goal for Strategy is to hold one and a half million Bitcoin, which would be roughly 7% of the entire bitcoin supply. So holy moly sailors, going full metal jacket, stacking the btc. I'd expect nothing less from the Gigachad, if you know what I mean.
JV
So let's break down our next story, kicking it off with the headline Top five cities where you can pay rent entirely in Bitcoin.
Nipinator
And what cities come to mind when.
JV
You think of Bitcoin cities?
Nipinator
Let me know in the live chat.
JV
And we're just going to get right into the fruits and veggies which I use because I am vegetarian and I.
Nipinator
Haven'T eaten the meat and potatoes in roughly 20 plus years.
JV
So here we go. Direct Bitcoin Payments for Rentals let's just.
Nipinator
Dive right in Top five Cities for.
JV
Paying for Rentals the prospect of paying.
Nipinator
Rent with Bitcoin has become a reality and increasing number of cities worldwide. Here are the top five urban centers that are leading the charge and Bitcoin.
JV
Rental Rental so Bitcoin rental adoption in particular.
Nipinator
Number one Miami, home of Sergio Bitcoin caps.net that's right, Miami, Florida playing the host of the Bitcoin conference each year. Well I guess up until the Vegas conferences, no. Miami is where crypto has the support of local leadership. Former Mayor Francis Suarez even opted to receive his municipal salary in bitcoin.
JV
Several luxury condo developers and apartment projects.
Nipinator
Such as the Rider Residences and Wynwood accept crypto payments for purchases. In April of 2025, a crypto transaction occurred for a unit there directly between digital wallets. So peer to peer and although dedicated rental platforms aren't widespread, tenants can still negotiate with the landlord if monthly rent payments in Bitcoin are acceptable in downtown Brickell or Wynwood, select properties may be available for bitcoin based rentals rentals. So Bitcoin City number one recommended that is available to pay for your rent in Bitcoin is Miami. Well, at least according to this article from Cointelegraph. Number two Lips in Portugal, since new rules regarding crypto backed purchases and sale of properties were introduced April of 2022, there has been a clear set of procedures. There is a growing digital nomad network centered in Lipson, and crypto services designed to support them are increasing. As reported July 12 this year, rent Remote partnered with Bitpay to accept crypto as rent payment. This or while most transactions will convert Bitcoin to euros for legal settlement, many property sellers, developers and agencies are open to accepting crypto property rentals and Bitcoin may be available in Lipson's prime neighborhoods like Shiado, Alama and Startup districts. Tenants paying in Bitcoin usually work via notaries or both brokers that handle conversion and compliance, making rent and Bitcoin feasible where both parties agree. Number three City Berlin, Germany. That's right, Berlin has a progressive real estate sector facilitating indirect bitcoin rental adoption. In several cases, Flado or Flato, a European short term rental service, accepts bitcoin payments in Berlin for stays lasting one to six months, though modest service fees may apply. Since April of 1st 2023, Germany's Money Laundering act has prohibited direct crypto based property purchases. However, renting remains possible when parties agree to use intermediary service to convert the bitcoin to Euros before the payment clears. So it sounds like for that option there's no peer to peer, they got to use a third party intermediary. But hey. Number four Toronto, Canada where you at?
JV
Canada's property landscape is gradually embracing the bitty. Some rental platforms in Toronto have enabled.
Nipinator
Bitcoin rent payments, letting the tenants pay.
JV
In Bitcoin while the landlords receive Fiat via the exchange services. Residents can book their services, dinners and rent using crypto throughout the city. While directly accepting Bitcoin as rent may still be a niche, the infrastructure exists to support crypto savvy tenants. Some services handle conversions, invoices and transparent transaction flows. Number five listed here is Paris, France. Ironic that was a topic of conversation. We discussed France for Bitcoin adoption just yesterday. They proposing using nuclear energy to mine.
Nipinator
The bitcoin and now check it.
JV
Paris is fast catching up with the crypto hot spots to facilitate crypto based rentals. Agencies like Lodges which specialize in furnished short term rentals have offered clients the option to pay agency fees and Bitcoin since 2014. And there are real estate platforms that enable lease agreements or property sales in France using Bitcoin, ensuring compliance through the P SAN certified partners. So there you have it. And that's at least according to this article resource. Those are the five top cities for paying for rent with Bitcoin. And like I said earlier, the top of my list was El Zante Bitcoin Beach El Salvador which gets the honorable mention right here. Paying rent in Bitcoin real estate Adopts Crypto from El Zante to Rosario. That's right, El Zante known as Bitcoin Beach El Salvador Pioneer community. Why Bitcoin adoption influencing the country since 2021's decision to make the Bitcoin legal tender. Currently, studios or boutique apartments near the beach can be rented with payment in Bitcoin or any other acceptable crypto.
Nipinator
Hell yeah. Why isn't that listed? Number one?
JV
Blows my mind. I don't know. Ocean view properties with Bitcoin payment options are available. Despite the modest infrastructure, this lively surf town continues to draw crypto savvy digital.
Nipinator
Nomads seeking a Bitcoin integrated lifestyle.
JV
And guess where I will be in January?
Nipinator
I will be in El Zante Bitcoin beach baby baby at the Max and Stacy Invitational.
JV
Let me know if you're going to be there.
Nipinator
I got my ticket.
JV
I'M looking forward to it. It's going to be lit and ain't.
Nipinator
No party like a bitcoin beach El Zante party. Because the bitcoin beach Elizante party knows. Stop.
JV
All right, fam. Now for our feature story of the day. Massive breaking news. Brazil, the largest country in Latin America. Their parliament is to hold the first hearing on national strategic bitcoin reserve this August 20th, which means in two weeks there's going to be a hearing on whether Brazil should adopt bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. This is absolutely massive. So I want to break this down and as a bonus, I want to share with you a thread I created last night on why I believe bitcoin is going to survive surpass 10 million per coin. And you already know if Bitcoin hits 10 million, it'll eventually hit 100 million and eventually 10x from there and hit a billion. But here's the proof of work right here. This is official. Obviously it's in Spanish because, you know, they speak Portuguese. I actually, they do speak Portuguese in Brazil, I think. But anyways, you can see the evidence right here. There was also this headline which was just publish, Brazil to hold historic Bitcoin reserve hearing August 20, which is literally, I think 15 days away from today. And also I'm going to share this thread on why I believe bitcoin is going to hit 10 million per coin. And we'll share some bonus information with you as well. But let's start with the article right here. Brazil will hold its first parliamentary hearing August 20, 2025 to discuss a proposed Bitcoin reserve allocating up to 5% of foreign exchange reserves, which is 18.6 billion, which can potentially flow right into the BTC. Led by Deputy Eros Beyondini, the initiative aims to diversify Brazil's financial strategy and position it as a major sovereign bitcoin holder, surpassing El Salvador. Bukele sparked it with this global hash war in 2021, the first country in the world to adopt bitcoin as legal tender. And it looks like if Brazil adopts.
Nipinator
It as well, being it's the largest country in Latin America, game over.
JV
Come on now this hash war is really starting to heat up. The hearing will involve central bank officials, industry leaders, lawmakers highlighting cross sectoral interests while emphasizing complex legislative path ahead. Complex tax exemption proposals, global trends and crypto adoption underscore Brazil's potential shift towards.
Nipinator
Integrating digital assets international economic framework. So as you can see, this is a pretty big deal. Lots to be discussed and only two.
JV
Weeks out, Brazil will Hold the first.
Nipinator
Parliamentary hearing on the establishment of the.
JV
Strategic Bitcoin reserve again Aug 20 so market in your calendar.
Nipinator
I'll be covering that here, of course, marking a significant step in the country's exploration of digital assets as part of the official financial strategy. The hearing scheduled to take place in Brazil at the Chamber of Deputies, will bring together key stakeholders, including lawmakers, central bank officials and industry leaders to debate the proposal again.
JV
5% allocation means potentially 18.6 billion towards their Bitcoin reserve. And if passed, the bill would position Brazil as one of the largest sovereign holders of Bitcoin, potentially surpassing in countries like El Salvador, which currently have over 6200 BTC. The move aims to diversify Brazil's reserve portfolio and enhance its economic influence, particularly in the context of evolving financial strategies involving cryptocurrency. And right now El Salvador stash is worth about three quarters of a billion. So we have the potential. I mean if 18 billion did flow into Bitcoin from the likes of of Brazil, it would be an absolute game changer. The hearing will include participation from a range of public and private sector figures. The initiative has been described as a historic first by the local media, reflecting the novelty of the approach in the Latin American context. The bill still has a long path to becoming law, so do keep that in mind, but at least we're entertaining it. It must pass through the Chamber of Deputies, be approved by the Senate and receive presidential endorsement. The process highlights the complexity of legislative change in Brazil and the challenges of integrating bitcoin or crypto into financial frameworks. The debate on the Bitcoin reserve coincides with broader legislative efforts to support the crypto sector. In June of 2025, Beyondini also introduced a complimentary bill aiming exempting long term crypto investments from taxation. These proposals signal a potential shift in Brazil's regulatory state, indicating greater openness to digital assets and their role in economic development. However, the outcomes remain uncertain and the hearing will be a critical moment in assessing the feasibility and reception of the reserve idea. So you guys got to let me know your thoughts. How do you think this will play out for the country Brazil? Do you think it is likely to adopt Bitcoin potentially as you know, following in the footsteps of Buell for the entire country?
Nipinator
Let me know your thoughts.
JV
And like I said, I'm going to read to you this thread I created late last night on why Bitcoin's going to hit 10 million per coin and as a bonus I got to share some receipts. On December 22, 2010, the price of Bitcoin was $0.23 USD. This is when Stacy Herbert for the first time explained Bitcoin on international TV during the Kaiser Report, episode 106. Bitcoin was literally trading for less than a quarter. You could have bought four, four for a dollar. I verified this with chat GBT which verified the price of bitcoin on that particular date at 23 cents. And here's the proof of work shared by Max Kaiser at the 12 minute mark. Episode 106 via the Kaiser Report. December 22, 2010. Stacy explains Bitcoin for the first time on international TV. This was the first of more than.
Nipinator
750 episodes which we talk about Bitcoin through 19, 1900 episodes over 13 years.
JV
So all hell, Max and Stacy, I.
Nipinator
Mean they're way ahead of the curve in the entire world when it comes to bitcoin.
JV
So there's the proof of work.
Nipinator
But now diving into the thread, Bitcoin equals 10 million. How do we get there and why? It's inevitable. Number one, the greatest monetary revolution of all time is happening right now. And most have no idea. Bitcoin isn't just going to 500,000 or a million dollars, which is like a 9x from where we're at. We're talking 10 million per coin. Send it.
JV
And here's how we get here.
Nipinator
I created this thread. If you haven't checked it out, make sure to drop a repost. So, yeah, first understand this. Bitcoin is the scarcest asset in human history. Only 21 million Bitcoin will ever exist. Over 19.7 million are already mine. 4 million plus lost, gone forever. That means 16 million coins for 8 billion people and rising demand. Basic math equals supply shock. In 2021, El Salvador, led by President Bukele became the first country to make bitcoin legal tender. Max called it early. El Salvador will become the Singapore of Central America. He was right. Now nations are following their lead. Now Max also coined the term global hash war back in 2019. That's happening now. USA allegedly has 198000 bitcoins. Some speculate they really only have 29,000. But currently it's up for debate. China has 194,000. UK has 61,000. Ukraine has 46,000. Bhutan hold 13,000. El Salvador has 6,200. France moves to mine bitcoin with nuclear power. That was our story in yesterday's pod the day before. We discussed Pakistan drafting secret bitcoin reserve strategy. And now we're entertaining the largest, you know, Latin American country in the world Brazil with a population over 200 million adopting Bitcoin and actually having a hearing for Bitcoin strategic reserve. Big deal. Number five. In 2024 Trump signed off on the US Bitcoin strategic reserve plan. America preparing to hold Bitcoin as a sovereign asset. This is Bretton Woods 3.0 moment. It's happening faster, it's accelerating faster than anyone anticipated. Number six. Meanwhile instead institutions are here. BlackRock has over 700000 Bitcoin micro strategy 628000 ETFs have captured almost 1.3 million BTC institutional assets under management exceed 147.8 billion. And yes, I got the latest data to make sure this was all accurate. Wall street isn't coming, they've already arrived.
JV
So salute you if you got to front run the institutions in Wall street.
Nipinator
And especially the United States and the Trump story. Number 7, 11 spot Bitcoin E tests were approved 1-11-2024 that opened the floodgates.
JV
For 401ks pensions, family offices and sovereign wealth funds to buy Bitcoin. Precisely what we're witnessing. Every financial advisor in America now has a green light to recommend Bitcoin.
Nipinator
Number eight, the network effect. It's accelerating like dominoes. Bitcoin treasuries are becoming standard states like Texas and Wyoming. I Bitcoin mining and reserves nations are racist to acquire Bitcoin before the supply dries up. It's the global hash war. Hyper Bitcoinization isn't just a meme. It's a matter of when.
JV
Number nine, how do we get to.
Nipinator
A one Bitcoin at 10 million? Simple. Number one, fiat collapses under debt inflation.
JV
Max predicts this happens at 300000 per coin. Just FYI Global Capital flees to the.
Nipinator
Hardest money ever created. Done deals happening the man 100x's while supply is fixed. Sovereigns compete for Bitcoin as reserve asset and Bitcoin replaces Fiat and then gold. Peter Shift for brains.
JV
Some ask, well, is this fantasy?
Nipinator
Well ask yourself why are trillion dollar.
JV
Asset managers buying we're talking black rock and many others.
Nipinator
Why are governments suddenly pro Bitcoin such as the United States? Why does the dollar need constant printing to survive?
JV
And while Bitcoin just runs on code.
Nipinator
The answer obvious Bitcoin is the new monetary base. Number 11. One Bitcoin equals 10 million is not a dream.
JV
It's the logical conclusion of scarcity, institutional adoption, sovereign competition, technical superiority, global hash.
Nipinator
War, hyper Bitcoinization and the death of fiat. You are early but not for long. And last but not least, number 12.
JV
In the future, bitcoin won't just be money.
Nipinator
It'll be freedom. It'll be property. It'll be sovereignty. Remember, tickets to Escape the Matrix are priced in bitcoin. Stacking one Bitcoin can set you and your family free for generations. And if you gain value out of that post, you got to repost it and do what to do. But there you have it. Yo, what are your thoughts on Brazil adopting bitcoin and their hearing coming up on August 20th. What's your thoughts on Bitcoin hitting 10 million? And what are your thoughts on that Proof of work of Stacy talking About Bitcoin was 23 cents. She's being credited as the first international TV exposure via the Kaiser Report. The proof of work is out there. Let me know your thoughts and I'll stick around and read your comments out loud. Greetings BNA fam Buckeye for life. What it do? Funny how a couple of billions of dollars to our Congress is nothing, but to the South Central American countries it's game changing. Good perspective right there brother.

Podcast Summary: Episode 2069 – BRAZIL SETS AUGUST 20 HEARING ON NATIONAL BITCOIN RESERVE
Release Date: August 5, 2025
Hosts: JV Happy and Nipinator
In Episode 2069 of Bitcoin News Alerts | Daily BTC News, hosts JV Happy and Nipinator dive deep into the latest developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem. From significant institutional investments to groundbreaking legislative moves in Brazil, this episode is packed with insights and analyses crucial for Bitcoin enthusiasts and investors alike.
The episode kicks off with a comprehensive market analysis, highlighting a notable correction in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin experienced a 74% decline in a single day, trading just below $114,000. Ether and XRP also saw downturns, trading under $3,600 and $3 respectively.
JV Happy [03:38]: "Trading view showed the price action wedged between areas of high order book liquidity. Room for movement was thus limited and the short term forecast favored downwards."
Despite the daily downturn, the monthly and yearly charts reveal a more optimistic picture, with the market showing resilience and potential for recovery.
Nipinator [04:03]: "On the monthly chart, we had 120 days of bullish momentum with four green candle prints, indicating sustained investor confidence."
One of the standout news pieces discussed is the announcement by the Michigan State Pension Fund, which has invested $10.7 million in Bitcoin. This move signifies a growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class among major American institutions.
JV Happy [06:10]: "The Michigan State pension fund just announced that they bought $10.7 million worth of Bitcoin. America is buying BTC. This is massive."
This investment not only boosts Bitcoin's legitimacy but also underscores its increasing role in institutional portfolios.
The podcast delves into the strategic maneuvers of Kango, a Chinese conglomerate that has recently intensified its Bitcoin mining operations. After divesting from its auto financing unit, Kango has ramped up Bitcoin production, mining 650 BTC in July 2025, a significant increase from June's 450 BTC.
Nipinator [15:38]: "Despite the recent dip in the share price, their stock rallied 158% over the past 12 months, much of that momentum began last fall when the company announced a big push into Bitcoin mining."
Kango's aggressive investment in mining rigs from Bitmain, securing 32 EXAH hashes, positions the company as a formidable player in the Bitcoin mining sector, especially given China's previously restrictive stance on cryptocurrency.
A contrasting trend is observed between corporate Bitcoin treasuries and ETF investments. While corporate treasuries have added 630 BTC, ETFs have experienced a substantial outflow of $300 million.
Nipinator [17:07]: "An example that's a buy signal Nipinator."
This divergence suggests a complex market sentiment where institutions are still bullish on Bitcoin's long-term potential despite short-term fluctuations and ETF investors withdrawing funds.
The hosts highlight the impressive growth of Sailor Strategy, which has doubled its Bitcoin holdings since Trump's election. The firm has accumulated 376,571 BTC, now valued at approximately $43 billion, positioning itself as a major Bitcoin treasury holder.
Nipinator [20:15]: "Strategy aims to provide twice the returns of Bitcoin alone by issuing credit instruments, obviously producing a Bitcoin yield."
Sailor Strategy's aggressive accumulation strategy underscores the increasing institutional confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value proposition.
An engaging segment explores the top five cities globally where residents can pay their rent entirely in Bitcoin, reflecting Bitcoin's growing integration into everyday financial transactions.
Miami, Florida
Lisbon, Portugal
Berlin, Germany
Toronto, Canada
Paris, France
Honorable Mention: El Zante, El Salvador
The episode's centerpiece is the announcement that Brazil's Parliament will hold its first hearing on establishing a National Strategic Bitcoin Reserve on August 20, 2025. This move positions Brazil, the largest economy in South America, to potentially adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, allocating up to 5% of its foreign exchange reserves (~$18.6 billion) into Bitcoin.
JV Happy [30:00]: "Brazil will hold its first parliamentary hearing on the establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin reserve on August 20. This is absolutely massive."
If approved, Brazil could surpass El Salvador in Bitcoin holdings, significantly impacting Bitcoin's global adoption and market dynamics. The hearing will involve central bank officials, industry leaders, and lawmakers, addressing complex legislative and tax considerations.
Nipinator [32:15]: "Integrating digital assets into Brazil's international economic framework is a significant step towards embracing Bitcoin."
This legislative move underscores the shifting global landscape towards cryptocurrency adoption, with major economies like Brazil considering Bitcoin's strategic financial role.
In a passionate segment, JV Happy shares a detailed analysis supporting the belief that Bitcoin will reach $10 million per coin. Drawing on historical data and current trends, the hosts outline a compelling case based on Bitcoin's scarcity, institutional adoption, and global strategic shifts.
Key Points from the Thread:
Scarcity:
Institutional and Sovereign Adoption:
Global Hash War:
ETF and Treasury Dynamics:
Fiat Currency Collapse:
Network Effect:
Nipinator [36:20]: "Bitcoin is the scarcest asset in human history. Only 21 million Bitcoin will ever exist."
The hosts emphasize that Bitcoin's journey to $10 million is not a mere fantasy, but a logical outcome of its inherent properties and the current trajectory of global financial systems.
JV Happy [38:22]: "BlackRock is outpacing Strategy and Sailor by a factor of virtually 5x. Those two companies alone have close to 1.4 million Bitcoin, which is roughly 7% of the entire supply."
Episode 2069 of Bitcoin News Alerts | Daily BTC News provides a thorough examination of the current state and future prospects of Bitcoin. From institutional investments and strategic corporate shifts to groundbreaking legislative moves in Brazil and optimistic forecasts for Bitcoin's valuation, the episode offers a wealth of information for listeners aiming to stay ahead in the crypto space.
