All this plus so much more in today's show. What's the second best? There is no second best. There's a. There's a crypto called Bitty and that's about it. Happy 420 fam. Let's kick off the show. If you're new to the Rumble, important to smash the likes. Give us a follow and repost the stream on X. All repost. You'll get a notification And I can feature that. All comments and quotes greatly appreciated. This is how we blow up the live stream. We have a new setup past couple of days as you know we've had some technical issues. That's why there was no live stream. So I had to get a new streaming software Shout out to the Oracle for the recommendation. The previous streaming software had an incompatibility once we updated the software which auto updated all by its own by the way and it just has a conflict with the Mac operating system and this particular software we don't got to worry about the because it's all based upon the Chrome browser. So we don't have to worry about all the technical jargon. The just works which is how it should be. But anyways, now you know why there was no POD for the past couple of days. But we're back stronger than ever. Bitcoin news alerts, rumbles are home. And of course it's a dual stream. We're also streaming live on the X. Today is Pod Episode 2079. I'm your host JV alongside Fed Chairman Nipinator. And speaking of the Nip Andator, there's a couple of images that we created for the Nip the other day and they're kind of cool so I want to share them with you. This one says Coco Max on deck. Fiat on Checkmate. The one and only Nip Andator sipping on the infamous Coco Max the drink that made El Salvador famous. And if you don't know now you know. Super Saiyan Nipinator Fiat murder capital to stack and sats and slapping Karens. The moment that Coco Max touches the tongue he just turned Super Saiyan and it's pretty amazing. And there's another one right there. Yeah, I mean he didn't choose the Bitcoin global hash war. The Bitcoin global hash war chose the Chairman. Anyways, we're going to kick this mofo off. Let's kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. Today is August 17, 2025. So yeah, you can see Bitcoin in the red correcting just below 118000 ether. And many of the alts are pumping and in fact chain the big pumper right now up 11% trading above $25. Yeah so the market cap is just shy of 4 trillion today. 3.99 trillion to be exact. The 24 hour volume is 125 billion. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. We got OKB, chain link and virtuals Let me know which alt if any you're bullish on for the bull. Holla at your boy. Checking out the crypto bubbles. Get a visual perspective on the day. You can see the bulk of the market for the alt is actually in the green. I'd say like 8020 green over red. For the weekly definitely red over green. A lot of alter for the month similar, definitely red dominant over the green. And for the year it looks like primarily in the green which is actually uh, pretty good. Uh, today crypto greed and fear index is coming in at a 64, yesterday a 56, last week a 69 and last month a 73. In greed time chain calendar we are on block height 910,478 and we have 139522 blocks into the having in 2028 and as of today August 17, 2025 you can exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 850sat. So you should know precisely what to do. Pick up down the gas and pick up some bitcoin caps from my man Sergio over@bitcoin gas.net but let's go ahead and read the news. Bitcoin has greater than 50 chance of 150. Yeah, I'd say way higher. So check this out. McClurg warned of a broader economic bear market ahead, saying he isn't confident in the macro outlook. He says I don't like the economic standing at all right now. Arguing the U S Fed should have already cut rates as its last two meetings. He expects rate cuts to come in both September and October. Similarly, market participants are pricing in 92 and a half percent chance of a Fed rate cut in September. According to the CME Fed Watch tool now McLaren attributed the majority of the bitcoin recent price action to post bitcoin ETF inflows and treasury firm purchases. He says that's what is really driving the price. He says we're seeing large allocations coming in not just from the small institutions but from the large sovereign wealth funds. We're seeing insurance companies ask questions. McClar expects treasury firm buying to reach a peak in the coming months, acknowledging their impact has been significant. Other bitcoin advocates disagree with the idea of another bear market. For example, the gigachad Mikey Saylor said during an interview that winter is not coming back, meaning extended cycle going up forever. Laura quitting them here. We're past that. Free. Let's map out this week's amazing destinations and travel tips.

Bitcoin is not going to zero, it's going to a million. And that's a fact Jack. In fact, that's a blackjack. Meanwhile, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said said he doesn't expect the bull market to slow down anytime soon. He says, I bet 2026 is an up year. He also said, I broadly think we're in for a good few years. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the og. You should be able to see this is Coinbase via Trading View. This is the one hour chart. No particular targets in play. Again, we're just shy of 118000 at the time of the live stream and we're going to zoom it out, work our way backwards. When in doubt just zoom out and check out the 4 hour. 4 hour chart has a bear target we're not even going to entertain because that's for the Peter Schiffer brain. But you do notice red candle in the four hour for the past couple. Unfortunately we are correcting and in the red at the very moment. However, let's zoom it out a little further. You can't short your dork can't afford that. Checking out the daily the daily chart Big ass red candle yesterday unfortunately today. Actually that wasn't yesterday, that was a couple of days ago. Big red candle we dropped down and then we just been kind of sideways since then. There is a bull flag ar wedge and a bull barney purple dinosaur Target sitting at 1464 again on the daily chart. 146 in play. Let me know when you feel what likely hit that particular target and shortly I'll read those comments out loud and checking out the weekly notice it we not weak cuz nothing weak about the bitty but you notice the rising wedgie, the only wedgie officially approved by the Fed Chair dog Nipinator and you do got the target on screen which is practically 85:9. Oh boy. I personally don't see that a happening. I don't think we ever go sub 100 ever again but you let me know your thoughts. You do got a rising wedgie, the only official wedgie approved by the Nip. And checking out the monthly let's see really quick. Obviously it's August 17th today we got a couple of more weeks and you do notice 1234 this is the fifth green even though it's barely in the green for the month of August because been a little corrective. This is going to be the fifth green consecutive candle printed on the monthly which is bullish. But let's continue with the ETF inflows as there's a lot of them. So let me go ahead and do another little share little screen share for the for the brosis and the baddies out there and you should be able to see this headline right now on your screen. Bitcoin and E3 test post 40 billion volume in their biggest week ever and that's right is going up forever Laura. And let me make sure maybe I'll turn the comment off so you guys can see better during the segment. I think that'll work even better. Perfecto. So yeah, as you can see us Based by Bitcoin, E3 ETFs Bitcoin and Ether log their strongest week of combined trading volume yet. Biggest week ever from them. Thanks for the E3 test. Stepping up big E3 test weekly volume was about 17 billion, blowing away the record. Man did it wake up in July. It came the same week. Bitcoin reached a new all time high 124 on Thursday while ether came close reclaiming the November 2021 high of 4878 the same day. So it came right on the cusp. And as Bunas pointed out here on X, since Thursday Bitcoin F has fallen 5% from its all time high trading at117.6 while Ether dropped 6% from the Thursday high trading at4486. Now on Monday spot E3 test recorded their biggest day of net inflows ever, which flows across all funds totaling over a billion. Across the first two weeks of August they recorded more than 3 billion of net inflows, marking their second strongest monthly performance to date. Baltuna said. It was almost as if Ether E tests were asleep for the past 11 months. Pretty much were, and then crammed one year's worth of activity in six weeks. Precisely. It's actually pretty accurate and the reason why it's been climbing. While there's been excitement ahead of their July 2024 launch, E3 ETFs initially saw lower volume, almost like it was a big nothing burger. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs reached new highs of 73,000 just months after launching in January of 2024. Seems like yesterday was January, the official launch date. Also, analysts are drawing parallels between Ether's recent price surge and Bitcoin's post ETF rally. As analyst Van de Pop shares here, this move is comparable to the Bitcoin ETF launch. When Bitcoin continue to rally upward, the ETFs have a massive impact and there's a lot to come from the coins. However, some analysts warn that the investors must be patient before Ethereum reaches a new all time high. According to Jake Kennis, he said that the new all time high for Ether may be weeks or months away, despite ETH currently sitting. So yeah, so Samson Ma actually called this out. He actually projects that Ether is going to dump because he says a lot of the largest holders are only in it to stack more bitcoin. And that's the Nip Anator indicator we love. That's the Nip Anator indicator we've all been waiting on. New all time highs in play fam. You heard it here first. Niponator indicator the only bitcoin indicator with 100% accuracy. And if you don't know, now you know. Boom shakalaka. All right. Now for our next story of the day, SEC Chair Paul Atkins teases private equity access for the Retail Retail shall prevail. So Atkins signaled that regulatory agency will work with President Trump's administration to allow retail investors equal opportunities to invest in private equity. Atkins cited the recent Trump executive order to allow crypto and alternative assets and 401k retirement accounts tax sheltered retirement plan funded by individuals and their employers as the catalyst for the effort. Here's what he shared with Fox Business on Saturday. Reading it for you it is not really great to have a situation where large endowments and pension funds like state pension funds can be diversified into the public and private markets while the 401ks cannot. I think that's one of the goals of this executive order to direct the Department of Labor and the SEC to work together to help make it a reality. However, Atkins cautioned putting the proper guardrails around alternative investments saying we can't just fling the gates open and have investors rush in where one has to be careful. Let's map out this week's amazing destinations and travel tips.

I mean come on now, just open the the floodgates to the citadel brother. The agency has prioritized regulating crypto to make the US the global leader in digital assets. Broadening access to the private equity will allow the retail to invest in early stage crypto projects. Yay. And private token sales Shit coins. What is that? Pump and dumps meme coins? You name it. I expect nothing less from the U.S. the SEC overhauled accredited investor regulations in 2020 to emphasize financial knowledge and skills skill over net worth broadening who could qualify as an accredited investor in the usa. Despite this, the current regulations are prohibitive and lock out retail investors from some of the investment products. Good point. Now accreditation rules exist as the form of consumer protection to shield investors from taking on too much financial risk. These risks are compounded in private businesses that do not have to follow the same disclosure requirements and may need more financial acumen to fully understand their public counterpart. Private instruments are also a liquid or investments and a contagion could spread through financial systems through over leveraging or malinvestment that spills over into the other assets and marks markets during the financial crisis. But anyways, next story of the day, Taiwan's first Bitcoin treasury top win raises 10 million for the Bitcoin purchases as the US continues the flippity flop. That's right, Taiwan's first publicly traded corporate bitcoin Treasury Top Win International raised 10 million to kickstart its Bitcoin accumulation efforts. The luxury watchmaker turned Bitcoin treasury announced Friday it raised 10 million from a group of investors led by zipper producer and software company wiselink. The raise was accompanied by private investments and also something from Kansas management of Kansas alongside four other so basically big investors. Wise Link purchased three year convertible notes issued by Top Win. The investment followed a memorandum of understanding between the two companies outlining the yet to be disclosed collaboration. Top Win intends to use the proceeds primarily to purchase the btc. The announcement added that the Top Win may also invest enlisted Bitcoin treasury companies alongside buying the biddy. Still, the company said it has no plans to operate as an investment company or to engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading. Securitize has well the Win International is a Taiwan based luxury watchmaker that's decided to pivot to a Bitcoin treasury strategy in mid May. It's all highest and best used show the change of strategy follow the partnership with the Sora Ventures came the company, the partner with Meta Planet 2024 creating Japan's first corporate Bitcoin treasury Japan for the Win. Top Win also announced it would change the name to Asia Strategy sounds like following the sailor playbook copying the name and everything and not of the world's first Bitcoin treasury company strategy previously known as MicroStrategy. So our ventures founder and manager partner Jason Fang joined the company board and took the position of the co CEO along the side firm existing CEO and also the news of the capital raise was seemingly well received by the market participants Friday. Top Win International stock seen a Pre market price increase. 13Based off the news the price was a 51 drop from the 1212 reported in pre market trading on the day the company announced the pivot to the Bitcoin accumulation. Another one bites the dust and another one still the shock is up almost or the Stock is up 52% year to date. Numbers don't lie. Check the scoreboard. As you can see right here $5.82. Take that evil doers. And next up we'll be discussing the latest from the High priest Max Kaiser. And then our feature story, Bitcoin surpassing 400,000 this year. Which means within the next 120 days. Are you not entertained? All right. Now for our next story of the day, Max Kaiser affirms unstoppable Bitcoin accumulation in El Salvador. That's right, Kaiser emphasizes that El Salvador, often referred to as Bitcoin Country. That's because it is. Bitcoin country, of course, is stacking bitcoin on a daily basis, showcasing their confidence in the potential of this digital currency. Of course, no one does it quite like bitcoin country. And Max tweeted here, the bitcoin juggernaut in El Salvador cannot be stopped. Nothing stops bitcoin country stacking every day. And basically he reposted this post from Nodeman. Breaking El Salvador approves investment banking law. That's right. El Salvador will have the the world's first bitcoin banks to get the first movers advantage. They're also the first country to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender. If you don't know, now you know. A new legal framework will also allow to specialize investment banks to operate in the country, regulated, supervise and focus on complex financing and digital assets like Bitcoin. The question becomes how many years will it take for the United States to catch up? Let me know. Max's perspective on El Salvador's ambitions aligns with earlier assertions. The bitcoin presents a safer investment than traditional U.S. treasury investments or instruments, as detailed in his analysis of the bitcoin relative safety. Moreover, his warnings that bitcoin critics will suffer as the market evolves underscore Peter Schiffer brains. Are you listening? He's been suffering since Max been telling you to buy bitcoin at a dollar and it's only up like over a million percent. But also Max just recently tweeted this off the back of this news from the Kabisi letter. Shock and start of the day. Interest expense on the US has reached 1 trillion in the first 10 months of 2025, the most on record for the period. This puts us on track to exceed 1.2 trillion for the full year for the first time in history over the last 12 months. Anyways, Max tweeted they want to lower rate so they can ramp this to 5 trillion. And then he says Bitcoin 2.2 million incoming. Send it. Let's get it. All right, fam. Now for our feature story of the day. I'm going to discuss how bitcoin can realistically hit $400,000 before the end of this year, according to this OG analyst. That's right. And an exclusive interview on Coin Telegraph. Crypto analyst Udi Worth Imer lays out provocative thesis. Over the last five years, he says institutions have been quietly buying out old bitcoin holders and it's reshaping the market in a way few have appreciated. Quoting them here for the last five.

Of Bitcoin Both kinds of old bitcoin maxis, but also people who always have some portion of bitcoin and have been selling it over time to get into ETH or Solana or whatever. Those new buyers aren't the flippers, they're the force buyers. He also points to Sailor strategy as the prime example, quoting him here. If Sailor stops buying bitcoin for a sustained period of time, his company loses all of its value. He has to keep up coming with more original ways to raise capital to buy bitcoin. And that doesn't seem to be Sailor's problem, does it? Does it? So he says it's unprecedented, which is true. Bitcoin in the past has had many instances of four sellers. This is the first time that we have had a forced buyer structural force buyer who has to buy no matter what. The result, he argues, is that we are at the very tail end of the old holders, rotating out and heading towards the supply crunch. Can you say the mother of all supply shocks? Incoming, he says. This could ignite explosive moves. Wall street bought all of our bitcoin. We didn't even notice. He also floats a price target. It sounds insane in the membrane, but might soon feel tame, he says. I think 400, 000 is conservative. Full send that. And from ether's new treasury companies to the fragility of the leverage players, this interview also packed insights of challenging mainstream crypto thinking. And again, he's calling for 403,000. Could happen before the end of the year. JV's personal target is 222, 000 for this cycle Peak Bear scenario. My base case 420 for the Broski is right in alignment with this guy. And then my bull case of course is 1.1 million for the Broskis and the bitty baddies. But you guys, let me know your thoughts. And remember, you can't short your dork. Can't afford that. And with that being shared. Welcome everybody to the Q A segment of the live stream. Stream. Let's get it. Now there's the exciting part. Because now we can experiment and try some things and play Chandy's new video. I even think now I can go directly to Rumble and play videos to entertain you guys. Because I have all that set up to make 400,000 Bitcoin by the year end. We need at least one Omega candle. Exactly. Well, actually we need a few. One omega candle takes us to two. Another one takes us to three. It three omega candles. Send it. And before you know it, we'll be at 420. It's a divine omen for the Broskis. And don't forget to check out bitcoinnewsalerts.net for the full premium experience with video and to participate in the live stream along with the Q A.
