Conclusion / Final Thoughts

This episode is packed with real-time price drama and strong opinions but stays true to Bitcoin News Alerts’ mission: laser-focused on BTC, bullish long-term, skeptical of fiat and Wall Street, and dismissive of altcoins and legacy systems. Whether markets are up or down, JV drives home the message: “Stack sats, stay sovereign.” Google’s megadeal and new state/nation adoption stories reinforce the unstoppable momentum of Bitcoin game theory—while TA and ETF data are reminders that bull markets (“…don’t move in a straight line”) test even the staunchest HODLers.

All this plus so much more, including nibinator indicators in today'. Without further ado, if you're new to the Rumble important smash the likes. Give us a follow. Hit the repost. Today is podcast episode 2117. I'm your host, JV alongside Fed Chair Nipinator. Today is September 25, 2025. Markets are correcting big time. We're dropping in real time right now. We're currently 110,500, down 3, 300 on the day. Let's kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. Pulling up coin 360. Is it still down? I think it still is. It's not loading for whatever reason, so we'll skip that one again and we'll go right to Coin Market Cap. Coin Market Cap. Let me get a refresh here too because like I said, we're dropping in real time. As you can see, it just updated and went down significantly. So yeah, Bitcoin is110.8 over on coin Market Cap. Right now the bitcoin market cap is $2.2 trillion and volume looks like, what is that, 60 billion in the past 24 hours. Checking out top 100 cryptos. What are the top gainers? We do have some gainers today, but very few because everything's bleeding. Plasma's up 23 okb. A native exchange token is up 2.88. And then virtually everything else is correcting bloody wrecked. And in the red. Welcome to crypto and checking out the crypto bubbles. Visual perspective on the day, everything. I mean there's literally two coins at a 100 even in the green. And it's very modest, like half percent and 3% because everything's wrecked. I mean look across the board. Even Avax down 14% on the day. Aster down 23%. Xpl down 21%. IP down 28%. OG down 22%. Rex City zooming it out on the weekly. Unfortunately, it doesn't get any better. It gets worse. Everything bleeding minus zcash pretty much. And big time and checking out the monthly barely gets any better. Majority of the market in the red. Silver lining is always when in doubt, zoom out for the yearly. But even there it's pretty divided. So yeah, obviously Bitcoin's well up for the year. XRP is doing well for the year, up almost 400%. And whatever Soros coin is, it's up 25,000%. Not to be confused with Soros, but you just never know what the forces of evil rampant. And checking out the crypto green index today 44 fear. Same as yesterday last week 52 and last month a 48. So neutral. And here's silver lining. The lower we go and once we enter extreme fear the more likely of a nice parabola a parabolic run up infinity and beyond yo let's continue with the bitty news. Next up we're going to discuss our TA aka astrology for the Broskis. Yeah Bitcoin faces imminent 110 retests in fact it's precisely where we're at. This article was probably published a couple of hours ago when we were still like 111 potentially 112. But we are dropping in real time. So I'll entertain this and then we'll pull up the live charts here. You're looking at actually a one hour chart and I guess by the time this was published we had a nice little pump off of 1108 bringing us back above 111 6. But since then we have retraced and again we're in 110 territory. 110 is a major support so let's see if it holds up. If it doesn't naturally the big psychological support's going to go back down to 100,000. We may get a retest you guys let me know how you think will likely fair. But here it says US Jobless claims pressure risk assets all across the board. That's right US jobless claims data came in below expectations assigned the labor market weakness. I'm not surprised. This caused markets become less confident about the Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. And here you can see the Fed target rate probability comparison for the October FOMC meeting. And that's going to be around the corner obviously. And just like that initial jobless claims are no longer a worry. US dollar strength serves as a result with the US dollar index hitting three week highs. Wowzers man. The mood was not helped by uncertainty over the Russia Ukraine conflict amid reports of Russian jet interceptions over Alas I even hear about that. Commenting on the risk asset behavior, the Kabisi letter shared healthy bull markets do not move in a straight line and that's a fact Jack. And fact that's a sexy little bitty blackjack on the bitcoin price action crypto market Insight company Swiss Block warn the market sits in a delicate balance. Quoting them here Bitcoin lost 113 hovers under 112 a retest 110 looks imminent. Precisely what we're witnessing right now. So they nailed it. Swiss block argue bitcoin need to reclaim 1152 to have a shot revisiting the top of the rang. Losing 110 on the other hand would open up the path towards the 1000 mark. Precisely what I just said. 110 equals max pain according to this analyst. Likely to be touched. And we just touched it. Leaving Friday's options worthless. And also referring to the upcoming 17 and a half billion options expiry event. Another analyst points out look at the overwhelming short side dominance and potential liquidations according to the King Fisher. Also Avax who. Who cares about Avax and Ether and all them but I mean all eyes on the prelo biddy. And next up we'll check out the live charts. We're dropping in real time. We're about to test 110. We're currently 110 2. I think we started the stream like hot in the high 110. So we are still dropping in real time. How low will she go? Let me know. Silver lining on the hour chart there is a bull target 118 5. Practically an 8,000 jump from where we're at and you can see a big cascading red candle being formed 2 consecut. See from the 111 8ish range all the way down to again we're currently 110 1. So we're definitely going to retest. 110. Will she hold? Let me know bro. And zooming it out, checking out the four hour. You can see a big ass red candle on the four hour. Unfortunately we do got three bull targets starting with the most bullish. Holy. It's not often we see $143,000 targets on the four hour but we do have one printed here in the blue. Again 143 in play. We do have a red 123 which would take us right back on the cusp. A price discovery. And we got an inverted head and shoulders, knees and toes knees at 119.5mint.

[Mint Mobile Voice]

C mintmobile.com and we got a couple of bear targets. I'll entertain it today being more correcting rising wedge 92782 on the four hour. So a lot of different targets. Yeah, I mean checking out the daily you can see big ass red candle. Unfortunately we do got a couple of bull targets. Bull flag 1464 on the daily chart and we got one at 142.8 on the daily you do got a bear target at 838 and a super bear. We're not going to entertain the I'm just saying checking out the weekly. Yeah man. Rising wedgie. The only wedgie officially approved by the Fed chair Nipinator. We do got a bear scenario target sitting at 88 3. It's a rising wedge target and you can see the weekly has a big ass red candle forming. Unfortunately silver lining here. We' almost done with September. You know September is historically the most bearish month of the year and the most bullish is the fourth quarter October, hence the nickname October. But let's check out the monthly to see if we lost all the gains thus far. We're still barely in the green so it looks like if 110 can hold we can still have a strong close in the green creating and sparking some bullish momentum for the fourth quarter. However, if we go down to like 105100 range we're gonna lose these itty bitty gains we have thus far. And not a good look that would print obviously a red candle for the month of September, keeping it true to the bearishness of history. However, something to point out. When we did analysis a few days ago in the pod, I pointed out that we ain't had a positive September like this up until today since 2012. So it is very rare to get bullish gains in the month of September for whatever reason. Just is what it is. But there you have it yo. And as a bonus let's share some more with you. Let me close these charts and I want to share with you a tweet from trending bitcoin who shared this chart which you can see here. If history repeats we can see Bitcoin reach 280,000 soon and you can see the 2013 year after the first having a 2012 then 2017 chart the year after, the second having a 2016 then the third having chart the year after the 2020 having in 2021 and then you have the current where we're at for 2025 year preceding the halving of last year of 2024. So if history is to repeat letter rip tater chip Nancy nothing yet. Easy peasy. 280,000. Let's send it. And there you have it. And one more bonus post. Andrew Tate tweeted this the other day and it Definitely went viral. 2 million views. Housing prices will crash hard. I agree. The Ponzi has collapsed. Agreed. The youth buy crypto at their spare money. Agreed. Nobody is saving for a deposit on mortgages to buy overpriced boomer jackpots. He's exaggerating a little, but ultimately I see the point. Agreed. Everyone hates banks. Hallelujah. Unless you're a central banker. Houses are too expensive. Agreed. Bitcoin is a solution and the only solution. Agreed. So shout out to Andrew, Tristan and the Tate brothers. There you have it. Yo. And again, welcome everyone. Join the live stream. Lots to cover, so let's dive right into the next story of the day. And ironic enough I share with you today another article not just built around the ETFs entering the slowdown phase, but bears are a hunting at 90,000, so bear hunting season apparently. Here's the hourly chart. I already shared with you the live chart, so we'll skip that. But check this. Institutional investors are reducing their exposure to spot Bitcoin ETFs following a recent weakness of the price inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. Cool. Since the beginning of September, net inflows fell 54 to 931 million last week from 2 billion the week prior. So quoting analysts here, while overall accumulation remains intact, the slowdown for the showdown suggest a pause of institutional demand or the institutional FOMO. Like a MoFO, such behavior stands out versus early September when a steady price increase accompanied healthy ETF inflow. So things have reversed a bit here for September. We went from September to September when bitcoin increased to 10% almost to 118 between September 2nd and the 18th. That was a nice run up. Net inflows top almost 3 billion and over 8 trading days per data from far side. This included the largest daily net inflow at 2 months of over 741.1 millie. The spot taker cumulative volume delta indicator tracking the cumulative difference between the market buys and sells over the 90 days has remained the taker sell dominant since mid August. This means retail traders have been consistently selling more bitcoin than buying suckers. The giga chad's just buying it up and Meta Planet and Larry Fink and the rest of them reinforcing the risk off behavior. Bitcoin could see a deeper correction heading into October. If the ETF flows remain cool then the spot taker so we shall soon see. So yeah, this particular analyst McAlvin Day Pop says he shared a chart showing bitcoin if it loses 112 which we are a loss and it's currently on 110 it could drop towards 103 to 100. And as Greg pointed out, we do have a Fibonacci extension in the 106 range which is most likely going to hit that target next. At least that's the way it's looking. But back to Maau Van Pop he said I would assume that we'll be going to get some more downside and then we are done for the current period meaning we'll be in up only mo can I get aing Meanwhile, Alpha BTC shared the hourly chart showing Bitcoin USD pair trading at a descending parallel channel. Bitcoin could drop towards the channel's lower boundary which is 108 if support of 112 doesn't hold. We already lost that so yeah, 108 likely. Additionally, Bitcoin price dropped below the 95 quantile cost basis of 1153 signaling potential risk. As Glassnode points out, the cost basis quantile serves as a key metric for gauging market risk levels and potential price action zones for the B quoting glass node. Reclaiming it would signal renewed strength, but failure to do so risk a drift towards lower support of 105 to 90. Now I can see 105 being retested. I'm personally just going to throw out there anything can happen, but I like to believe we never go sub six figures ever again. But you guys let me know your thoughts on that. That's the latest from ultimately Glass Node and with the ETF inflows and all that fun stuff stuff. But anyways we're going to continue knocking out the news. Then we'll get back to some biblical prophecy Ohio approves vendor to Process Crypto Payments for State Services as you can see here, Ohio has become the latest US State to move towards allowing crypto payments for government services after the State Board of Deposit unanimously approved its first vendor to process digital asset transactions, according to the Wednesday announcement from the Ohio Secretary of State. The move makes Ohio the first fourth state to authorize cryptos for fees, following Colorado a, Utah. Louisiana also passed a law earlier this year to adopt similar measures this development marks the Board's approval of the first vendor contract for crypto payments, building on the proposal designating cryptos as an authorized financial transaction device, which was passed unanimously by the board May of 2025. Secretary of State Frank La welcomed the decision, saying it will help Ohio maintain its position as one of the top states for business. Quoting them here I want to command Treasurer Sprague, Auditor Faber and Attorney General Yost for taking this bull step to position us at the forefront of the emerging digital economy. My office processes hundreds of thousands of financial transactions each year and we have heard a growing demand.

Extra c mobile.com for a crypto payment option. I'm excited and ready to be the first to provide it to our customers. There is a reason why we now rank amongst the top five states of the nation to do business. Ohio is not afraid to embrace the tools, the trends, the tech and incentivize job creators to come here. As you can see, my office processes hundreds of thousands financial transactions each year. We've heard a growing demand for a crypto payment option. I'm excited to ready to be the first to provide it to our customers. So it sounds like the people have spoken and they want to give the people what they're demanding now. Check it In April, Larose and the Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague called on the board to authorize the crypto payments. He can give state agencies the authorita to accept crypto through a payment processor designated by the Treasurer's office. The Secretary of State's office aims to become Ohio's first state agency to accept fee payments payments using the crypto. Larose also supported the House Bill 18 which seeks and that's crazy, it's only number 18. Oftentimes we get House Bill 1224 to create the Ohio Strategic Crypto Reserve. This proposition seeks to create a separate digital asset reserve from Ohio's Bitcoin reserve proposition which was introduced 12-17-2025. And if you don't know, Ask the Fed chair Nipinator. Please send him an email and maybe he'll respond. And best of luck to you. But Next story this is big story of the day here. We're going to dive right in. Google takes 5.4% stake in Bitcoin mining company Cipher Mining in a 3 billion dollar deal that's right, Google has officially acquired a 5.4 stake in Bitcoin mining company Cipher Mining as part of that 3 billion multi year data center deal with AI company fluid stack. And according to the Thursday announcement, Google will receive its stake in Cipher Mining in Exchange for guaranteeing 1.4 billion in fluid stacks obligation in the contract with Cipher. This plays a part in the larger 3 billion fluid stack deal with Cipher to lease computing power for 10 years. The news follows another similar deal between Google and Fluid Stack in late August, the Internet says Search Behemoth became the largest shareholder of bitcoin miner Tera Wolf by acquiring a 14% of the company in exchange for guaranteeing obligations in a separate Fluid Stack deal. And side note, just FYI, Google and their company, I guess it's called Alphabet, that controls, you know, everything, including YouTube, they finally admitted that they've been censoring content creators under the administration on YouTube. So that perfectly explains why I've been terminated unjustly year after year like clockwork, and why I've been shadow banned and that's part of the reason we boycotted YouTube. So they finally admit it, which to me is a great victory cuz I knew that they were treating me unfairly due to my political views and outing the forces of evil and speaking my mind. And it was just confirmed as big news the other day. So who knows, maybe I should launch a lawsuit against Alphabet for unlawfully censoring me by unlawful terminations, shadow banning for years as well as demonetizing me. But then the other side of my mind, I'm like them. I don't ever want to go back, but I just want to throw that out there. The D will see Cypher deliver 168 megawatts of computing power to fluid 6 stack, supported by a maximum of 244 megawatts of gross capacity at its Barber Lake site in Colorado City, Texas. However, if you're an attorney and you want to go against Alphabet and you can help me, we can figure this out together. Let's do it. Reach out to your boy and hit me with a dm. Just saying. The site is also capable of reaching a total capacity of 500 megawatts and possesses 587 acres of surrounding land. Check it Google will backstop 1.4 billion in fluid stacks lease obligation a Cipher mining.

Also earlier in the week, Clean Spark announced 100 million financing round partly earmarked for AI infrastructure, sending the stock soaring 5% in after hours trading.

Mid August, the company reported record revenue and earnings in the fiscal first quarter. And there you have it yo headline here. Bitcoin price to 1 million. Dan Tapiero issues a crazy prediction. I don't think it's so crazy though, do you? Bitcoin continued as price fluctuations last month and as you know, lots of volatility, yada yada yada. We're correcting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tapiero believes Bitcoin to hit 1 million in the next 10 years. I mean I think we're gonna hit a million guaranteed. I don't often use that term but we're guaranteed to increase purchasing power against the dollar. I can say that with 100 confidence as the dollar will continue to lose purchasing power. But I am a firm believer by the year 2030 in like a worst case scenario will be above a million. So bookmark that. Tapiro predicts Bitcoin's market cap could hit 20 trillion. Yeah, gold right now is probably 22, 23 trillion and I absolutely believe bitcoin's market cap will overtake that of gold because gold sucks. According to Tapiro, despite bitcoin's huge potential, there is still a wide gap in the adoption of this digital asset globally. Bitcoin has not fully adopted and recognized by the traditional financial system a development that is slowing its growth and price value. He noted that gold faced similar siding sighting of the monetary asset, particularly as the US left the gold standard way back in the day. Way Before I was born back in the 70s. However, the precious metal has now regained its role as a store of value and in fact it recently just hit all time highs I believe above 3, 700 an ounce. That's the highest it's ever been. Now imagine physical gold only being remonetized for real now and then Bitcoin is digital gold just a narrative trad five far away from actually implementing the narrative. Yes, it is still that early. Bitcoin at 1 million in 10 years 20 trillion value just 2% of the total world assets. We're still early and again in my opinion that's super bearish. I still think we can hit a million if not this cycle, the next one. That's why I say by the year 202030 considering the next having is in 2028 which ultimately means if we don't hit a million this extended cycle which I think is the most likely probability of the extended cycle I think it's a shoe in for the following cycle as early as 2028 potentially the year preceding the having and it all depends on so much uncertainty and it's all speculation so but anyways notably the central banks of different nations are diversifying their reserves and using gold to store value. Physical gold is the only being remonetized for real now According to according to Tapiero According to the reason Bloomberg report China is aiming to become a custodian foreign sovereign gold reserves. That's right. We touched upon this yesterday. The country seeks to become mint is.

C mintmobile.com the less dependent on the US fiat currency and shore it up its own asset reserve. And they're also now in there's now big firms in China adopting bitcoin. It was a multi billion dollar acquisition we were discussing yesterday. Tapiera believes that just like gold, Bitcoin is undergoing the growth arc and is still in the early stage. That's a fact, Jack. In fact that's a Blackjack even after 15 years of existence now Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not closer to 17 years since the Genesis block of 2009? Maybe 16 years more accurate. Somewhere between 16, 17 years. Articles keep saying 15. That's why it trips me out. Someone please verify. He believes that the bitcoin price could reach 1 million per coin in the next decade within over 20 trillion. Well again to me that's bearish and but according to his analysis this is not impossible considering that even at that amount bitcoin would only. Exactly what are we repeating ourselves now? Also we have other million dollar predictions. Jack Dorsey said in September 2024 predicting Bitcoin to hit a million by 2030. And the other top influencers in the space that come to my mind that are very bullish projecting it potentially happening this cycle. Samson Mao, he says it's gonna. I want to talk to Samson. He says it's going to happen in a very short time span. He described it as a violent upheaval where bitcoin omega candle, omega hundred thousand dollar climb on a daily chart and eventually boom shock lock. We're at a million. Max Kaiser's bull scenario 2.2 million. We also have what other analysts Arthur Hayes just blaze has been projecting a million dollars for a long time, potentially this cycle. But you know, if not this, I gonna go shoot for the next. And then we have Arc Invest Cathie Wood and there's a lot of others but those are the ones that come to the forefront of my mind. All right fam. Now for our feature story of the day just in. Dutch government to consider the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve. That's right, more nation state adoption. Yo. This is definitely the theme of the year. Now imagine a nation safeguarding its economic future not just with gold, but with the apex predator bitcoin. This intriguing possibility is now on the table in the Netherlands where a political party has proposed creating a national bitcoin reserve. This isn't just a minor headline in the crypto world as a potential game changer that can signal the new era for the national financial strategy. So let's break her down. The Forum for Democracy. A Dutch political party has put forward an exciting idea establishing a strategic national reserve for the bitcoin. This proposal highlighted by the crypto influencer Coin Bureau suggests a forward thinking approach to the national asset management. While the form of democracy is a smaller party holding three seats in the Dutch House of Representatives and 15 in the Senate, their proposal sparks significant discussion. A national bitcoin reserve would mean the Dutch government actively acquires and holds bitcoin as part of the strategic assets. This could serve multiple purposes, from diversifying the national treasury to hedging against traditional economic instabilities. It's a bold move that challenges conventional financial wisdom and embraces the digital age. There are several compelling reasons why a nation might consider holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Firstly, Bitcoin is often seen as a hedge against inflation. Precisely. Unlike fiat, its supply is finite. Precisely. Making it a potential store value in the times of economic uncertainty. Exactly. Inflation hedge, Bitcoin's cap 21 million supply, financial sovereignty, innovation and leadership diversification. I still want to talk to Samson. This strategic move could position the Netherlands and let me know if you've ever been there. In fact, I have been there and when I did my euro trip, it was one of the highlights of the trip. Netherlands is pretty lit. It's an awesome city to visit. Yeah, it's up there. I just want to throw that out there because some places in Europe I wasn't so fond of, but Netherlands, it got my stamp of approval and I'm not surprised. I want to adopt the bitcoin. Let's make it happen, Captain. Now, what are the challenges of establishing the national bitcoin reserve? Losing sovereignty. Losing. What else are they at risk of losing? A lot. While the benefits are considerable, creating a national bitcoin reserve also comes with its own set of challenges. Price volatility. Well, we already established that's a good thing. Hence why we're up over a million percent since the inception. I mean, security concerns? Not really. Just learn how to properly self custody or use a trusted custodian. But you know, that's kind of like, what's the word I'm looking for? An oxymoron. It's like how can we trust the forces of evil? I mean, regulatory framework governments would need to establish. It's not difficult. We've already done it in the United States. Could be done. There's a blueprint. Bukele also bitcoin country. Come on now. Public and international perception. Yeah, the international perception will be it's a cool country, Bitcoiners will visit it and it'll just make it that much more successful and desirable for. For people to visit. I mean, clearly. So is the Netherlands leading the way with a national bitcoin reserve? No. You know who is bitcoin country? Making it legal tender at least. And you know who else is? Well, hopefully Trump gets on it and starts purchasing that million proposed bitcoin which was in the bill passed from Cynthia Lummis. And they proposing 1 million bitcoin for the executive order. Strategic bitcoin reserve. But who? Yeah, I think it's good though that they're entertaining it and it's just more likely the dominoes will continue to fall in my humble opinion. Because once it happened in 2021 with Bukele adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, we saw the Kingdom of Bhutan adopted as well. They currently have double the stash of bitcoin country and they're a small sovereign, you know, nation as well. Now you have countries in the Middle east, you have sovereign wealth funds. Yesterday we discussed all the nations adopting bitcoin some way somehow, whether directly or indirectly. Even all the forces of evil that control everything in the world have direct or indirect exposure to bitcoin, including Vanguard. You know Vanguard blatantly came out, no, we're against bitcoin. But they're the primary shareholder of MicroStrategy and all the Bitcoin mining companies alongside BlackRock. So they got their stake. You already know fam, what makes bitcoin unique amongst all the other asset classes. Limited supply, Way less than you think. I agree. Probably Only ever be 16 million Bitcoin in circulation in my opinion because so many are lost, gone, ex. Exactly. Decentralized, unhackable, immutable, globally transacted. And the transaction is the settlement. The transaction is the settlement. That's pretty big deal. With dollars why do you, you, I mean, or when you use merchants or old school payment, rails, the visa massacre, etc, why do you got to pay these like 2, 3% merchant fees? Because the transaction is not the settlement. There's counterparty risk and you got to pay for that. So major retailers, Walmart, Target, Amazon, they're spending billions of dollars and they're losing billions of dollars in these settlement fees because shit's old school. When they could be doing transactions virtually for free using crypto. And that's just one example.
