Rest in peace to Muhammad Ali and we have so much to share. So let's kick it off off with our market watch as we do each and every day. You should be able to see my screen pulling up right here.com bitcoin market cap hit a new all time high. Virtually 2.45. I'm sorry 2.5 trillion. Currently 2.484 trillion but it's been on the rise. Also gold just hit a new all time high hitting roughly $4,000 per ounce. And yes, Peter Schiff spotted after bingo night with the homies here in Puerto Rico doing backflips in his backyard in Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico. The total crypto market cap today is 4.27 trillion. We got 172 billion worth of volume in the past 24 hours and the bitcoin dominance today is coming in at 58.2% with the ether dominance at 13.1%. And the time chain calendar shows we're currently on block number 917. 918. And as of today October 6th you can exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 803 sats. So before you know it will be in the 700 range which is the lowest amount per sats per dollar we have ever seen. Which ultimately means virtually every bitcoiner is in profit. Huddle be thy name. And checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. We got pancake swap leading the pack up 44% this week, 14% on the day. We have Aster up 14% and mantle up 13% which Alan are you bullish on for the Bullhala? Also want to give an Honorable mention to Zcash is one of the top OG cryptos in the green this week up 136% and checking out the crypto bubbles we'll get a visual perspective here on the day. As you can see the bulk of the market in the green as the crypto market cap new all time high. Zooming it out on the week should mostly still be in the green. Yep I dare say 97 of the market pumping pump pump it up. Checking out the monthly as you can see Zcashly in the pack here up almost 300 on the month. Most of the market in the green and the annual snapshot similar I say maybe 80 85% of the market. Impressive gainers across the board. Zcash up 500% on the year XLM up 350% XRP up almost 500% OKB up 400% HBAR 332 SPX 600% BGB 400% link 100% massive gainers Bitcoin bull season is here and checking out the Crypto Greed and Fear index. Yesterday was a 74 greed, today 71, last week 50 and last month a 48 which is neutral. But without further ado let's dive into today's TA AKA Astrology for the baddies. Headline reads Bitcoin will blast through to the next leg at 150G's and I will be pulling up the live charts as we always quoting analysts here. Now that we have made new all time highs in an impulsive manner, the next leg to 150,000 plus has officially began. Said crypto analyst Credible on Sunday following the new all time high which is currently 125750 via Coinbase, the analyst said we'll blast through this current level suggesting another high could come this week. I think we break 130 this week but what do I know you guys let me know your thoughts. The only thing that matters is the nibinator indicator. But anyways he said he didn't rule out the pullback to 108 to the 118 zone. Dips into that zone zone 108 to 118 are a blessing if we get them. Good point. If not, well then enjoy the ride to 150G's baby. Meanwhile long term crypto trader Crypto Chase echoed The same sentiment predicting Sunday that a new leg up seems likely. If Bitcoin is truly strong, the pullback will be minor. Exactly. And it was only a week ago we hit the local low. It was around 108 and some change and from 108 to 125. I mean geez I tell you guys prepare for the volatility but the bigger picture it will be continued volatility throughout the fourth quarter to the upside. In my humble opinion, not investment advice. I'm just I mean reading the indicators especially Nipinator liquinator indicator. I feel like Bitcoin is about to see another all time high within hours at hyper liquid whale trader djen James Wynn I believe price discovery mode has started. It's taken a long time due to the price suppression and golden stocks are grabbing all the attention. Like all these assets are rising against the dwindling purchasing power of the dollar. Have you noticed that? Crypto all time high, gold all time high. What else is hit new all time highs? Let me know. Bitcoin printed the highest weekly close in history. That's another silver lining here this week. Yesterday we got the close during our live stream and it closed at 1235 which is a new weekly all time high. Now several factors have been attributed to the 11% surge and 11's always a divine omen. Just saying. Including US government shutdown which began October 1st. That's when we started the parabolic pump in October. Ironic enough, the same day the government announced the shutdown. We think that because the U.S. government shutdown and other monetary pressures, investors could be seeing Bitcoin as a safe haven, given them another vehicle to diversify away from the US dollar and Treasuries. He added that the US dollar is depreciating and likely to depreciate even more if interest rates decline further. It only makes sense investors allocate more capital to other currencies and Bitcoin. Bitcoin's record high comes the same time the US dollar seeing its worst performance. That's not a coincidence in decades. The US Dollar index, which measures the US dollar against a basket of currencies, declined by more than 12% since the beginning of the year. That's true. Inflation probably double that.24. Just saying. I wouldn't. Meanwhile, venture capital investor William Clemente said the big bitcoin move wasn't driven by digital asset treasuries or derivatives trading, but the spot ETFs which were viewing Bitcoin as a rotation from commodities and small caps spot. Bitcoin ETFS in the US saw ridiculous numbers last week with 3.2 billion of inflows. And we'll dive deeper into the ETF flows here shortly. The combination of these influences and bullish seasonality Bitcoin gained in 8 out have 12 past 4th quarters and 10 of the past 12 Octobers could lead to another rally this month. Oh, I mean the rally has only just began. It's incredibly strong to go from 110 to 125. Well more realistic, we went from 108 to 125 in a single week. So you got to respect the pump. Also, Caprioli Investments founder Charles Edwards predicted Bitcoin's breakout above 120 would lead to a very quick move to 150. Let me know when you feel this 150 target will likely take place. Also breaking news just then. Seven billion dollar real estate company Open Door. Let me know if you heard of them. Just said they will start accepting bitcoin for homes. You're looking to buy real estate. Well, start using some bitcoin Sign of the times. We all knew that was inevitable. And now let's pull up some of the live charts. And you can see these charts looking lit right now. But this is the minute chart. I mean but you can see how many consecutive candles Stairway case to heaven as we continue to rip. But let's actually start with the one hour and work our way back at a broader perspective. You can see a big green candle in the past hour. Prior hour before that was a red candle correcting after hitting the local top. And again we're right back at125.3 which is the high for the day. Again we're only 500 away from the all time high achieved just the other day during our pump watch. We did a 16 hour pump watch the day before yesterday and we hit 125, 750. And the way bitcoin's rising right now in real time tells me we'll probably break that during the today's live stream in the next half hour. You let me know if you agree with that. Checking out the four hour. Get a broader perspective. Big green candles, a lot of bullish momentum. You do have an orange bitty Target on the four hour chart on your screen sitting at 141 7. Again, 1417 in play on the four hour as we continue to pump. We're now 125. 5. We're only $250 away from the firmament. Beautiful place to be by the way. You can check out the daily chart. Look at all the bullish momentum. 123-45-6789. It looks like eight of the past nine days where green candle closes and the only red corrective was barely corrective to begin with. Very impressive. I think this season the fourth quarter. This is what we've been waiting our whole lives for. I'm excited. There is a purple target in play on the daily. It's a bull flag sitting at 1463 again 1463 which would take us you know another what is that 21000 higher than the current top. Send it 21. Always a divine omen as well. Checking out the weekly you can see big green candle the highest weekly close we have ever seen since the inception of the Genesis block which is another great indicator that we're likely to continue breaking new all time highs. Reentering price discovery here shortly. And yeah, keep keep the green momentum bullish for the rest of the fourth quarter. I'd love it. That's what I think will happen. But we shall soon see Checking out the monthly you also notice big green candle already formed for October October and we're only six days in it already surpassed the green candle we had in September which is historically a bearish month. But we still closed in the green. August was the last corrective red month. But you guys let me know your thoughts. Where do you feel the pretty little bitty likely take us next and I'll read some of your comments out loud. Next Story Crypto Funds smash records with 5.95 billion of inflows amid the shutdown concerns. That's right, Crypto investment products recorded their highest ever inflows last week as US Government shut down fuel the rally. I think the government should threaten shutdowns more often personally so we can continue hitting new all time highs. Global ETPs which are Exchange Traded Products, recorded just virtually 6 billion of inflows in the week ending Friday which is the largest of all time. We believe this is due to the delayed response to the FOMC interest rate cut, compounded by the very weak employment data and concerns over the U S Government stability following the shutdown. The record inflows came amid an overall bullish trend of the crypto markets which led to Bitcoin registering a new historic high above 125 on Saturday. It's currently 125750 and we're currently above 125.3. At the time of the live stream, inflows reached virtually 6 billion, with the ETP surpassing previous 4.4 billion record from mid July by 35%. Unlike the previous record inflows, which were almost equally distributed between Bitcoin and Ether, the latest gains were heavily dominated by the bitty, with Bitcoin funds attracting a record breaking 3.6 billion. Despite prices closing in on the all time highs during the week, investors did not choose to buy short investment products. Hence you can't short your dorks. You can't afford that either. ETP saw inflows ether totaling 1.48 billion, pushing the year to date inflows to another record of 13.7 billion, which was close to triple of that last year. Meanwhile, Solana and ETP inflows ranked third at 706 million, while XRP added 219 million, both setting records according to Coin Shares. And in line with the new record for inflows, total assets under management and crypto funds surged past 250 billion for the first time, reaching a new high at 254 billion. Virtually a quarter trillion dollars right there yo crypto ETPs historic inflow records came amid the US SEC shutting down operations last week. Like I said, they should shut down operations more often, sparking concerns over potential delays of highly anticipated ETFs. Nobody really care about the shitcoin ETFs. According to the crypto in America's Eleanor Turret, the SEC can still act on foreign fraud and market emergencies, but the shutdown is widely expected to introduce routine work delays. It's like a rain delay, said Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Bal? Chunz. And there you have it yo. And despite the anticipated slowdown, Grayscale, the second largest U.S. crypto ETF provider after Black Rock, debuted the first U.S. listed spot crypto ETPs enabling staking on Monday. The new staking Focus products Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF and Grayscale Mini Trust ETF for Ethereum allow the investors to receive additional staking rewards in addition to gains to the funds market performance Next Story of the day here is 5:30pm awesome. So you're in the future brother. You're about six hours ahead of me. Next story U S National debt Rises By n watering $6 billion every day, investors are turning to safe haven assets such as bitcoin and gold. And by the way, as I referenced earlier, gold hit a new all time high. It just broke out to roughly four, three thousand dollars an ounce while the US national debt is nearing a record breaking 38.

Data 1H 2025 Visit T mobile.com trillion dollars. That seems like it was just 37 trillion yesterday. America's national debt currently 37.9 trillion risen by 69, 890 per second. That's insane. That's the price of Bitcoin at the peak in 2021 in November and it's doing that per second, or nearly 4.2 million per minute over the last year, according to U.S. congress Joint Economic Committee Debt Dashboard. That equates to a staggering $6 billion per day larger than the gross domestic product of over 30 countries, according to data from Worldometer. U.S. representative Keith Self said on Friday the debt tally is set to surpass 38 trillion in weeks and possibly even 50 trillion within a decade. She's Louise urging for imminent action to be taken. Quoting him here, Congress must act now. Demand fiscal responsibility from your leaders before the gradual slide becomes a sudden collapse. You have been warned. At the current rates, the US is expected to surpass 38 trillion within the next 20 days. Last week JP Morgan, and let's not forget that was the official banking institution of Epstein, touted bitcoin and gold as the debasement trade amid increased uncertainty of the dollar. It came as Bitcoin hit a new all time high. It's currently 105,750 achieved two days ago, which we hit during our 16 hour P watch. Let me know if you were with us While gold hit a fresh high and it just hit another high. So on Sunday it broke 3900 and today it was roughly 4000 when I checked per ounce. Bitcoin's fixed supply and decentralized nature has drawn increased institutional attention such as the likes of Black Rock Larry Fink. If you're watching, please go home, get your shine box. Once a bitcoin critic stated in January Bitcoin could hit 700,000 per coin due to currency the basement fears. I agree with Larry Finkster on this one. 700,000 inevitable. Send it. Also we got Ray Dalio, the founder of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, and I believe he's the one who coined Bitcoin the fastest horse in the race. He recommended July investors allocate 15 of their portfolios and hard assets like bitcoin are gold to optimize for the best return to risk ratio. Not investment advice. But why not put 85% or 90% into hard assets like bitcoin? I mean if you're sitting on dollars as Sailor once described it, and it's a melting ice cube, what are you doing with your life? DE and Bitcoin, bro. Just saying. But at the time, Dalio said other Western nations like the UK would face the same debt loom loop issue and that their currencies would continue to underperform relative to bitcoin and gold, which he described as an effective diversifier. Reuters reported last month that the global debt grew to a record high of 337 trillion by the end of the second quarter, fueled by more quantitative easing and a softer US dollar, it said, citing data from the Institute of International Finance. Meanwhile, Trump's efforts to slow the US debt, cutting federal spending and reducing the deficit have cited as policy priorities under the Trump administration. For a few months, the Trump Admin brought in Tesla CEO Elon, until Elon alleged him of being on Epstein's client list on a public tweet to 222 million people. Or was it 333 million people? I forget that was crazy. But anyways I don't forget the Internet. Don't forget Trump signed what he described as the Big Beautiful act bill in July seeking to save more than 1.6 trillion in federal spending. Then Trump came along and said it was all a hoax. There was no EP Epstein clientless. Can't make this up. Mus left as his 130 day limit as a special government employee neared its completion. While he previously had strong relationships with Trump took a turn for the worse. You can say that again. He hit Trump with the worst allegation humanly possible. And he's probably the most influential human being on the planet. Considering on paper he's the wealthiest human being on the planet and has the largest following on ax. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's the founder, so damn near everyone follows him. In fact, when you create your EX account, you're forced to follow at least three people. He's one of the people they shove down your throat to follow. I remember. So I created a new account recently. But anyways, Thomas Massive says thanks to the one Big Beautiful Bill act, the debt just officially passed the 37 trillion mark. Thank God for the Big Beautiful Bill act as the debt continues to compound Next story of the day Famous Japan's New Prime Minister may be a boon for the risk assets, Especially the Crypto markets Japan's newly elected Prime Minister let's see if I can get this right. Sane Tak Aichi may bring fresh Tai Chi may bring fresh political momentum for risk assets, including cryptos, as their victory drove the country's benchmark Nikkei Index to the all time high. I guess that's like their version of the S P5 Honda. Japan's Nikkei index rose 5% on Monday to a new all time high, close to 47,700 according to trading View. The rally followed Takai's election on Saturday, setting her up to become Japan's first female prime minister when she takes office on October 15. So it looks like Japan beat the United States to the first woman president. And that's a beautiful thing because imagine if Hillary or Kamala was actually the United States President. Just saying. She is widely regarded as pro growth, supporting low interest rates, tax cuts and large scale economic stimulus. Her stance has been well received by voters facing the weakening yen. During the campaign, she was the only candidate proposing both a major spending package and looser monetary policy. And here it shows you the Nikkei all time chart. You can see breaking out hitting all time highs. And while Taichi, or as I referred to Tai Chi, has yet to make a statement on bitcoin, she signaled an innovation friendly stance towards crypto during her tenor tenure as Minister for Internal affairs and communications back in 2019. And here's a photo over here. She supported the legality of crypto donations to individual politicians, stating that crypto donations were not subject to the same disclosures as cash or security donations under Japan's Political Funds Control Act. So it shows you right there. She's a fan of the crypto. Got to respect that. Meanwhile, traders are increasingly seeking a store value beyond the US dollar amid US government's first shutdown since 2018 leading to a surge of capital into gold and Bitcoin. Bitcoin as you know, hit the new all time high two days ago during our 16 hour pump watch which is currently 125750 on Coinbase. And today we already recaptured 125 and we're within striking distance from recapturing price discovery. They also call her the Iron Lady. I dig it. The election of Tai Chi may lead to a renewed demand for digital assets amongst Japanese investors. According to Charles D. Hosi, CEO of the DYDX Foundation. Quoting him here, Iron Lady San Tai Chi's election as Japan's Prime Minister is boosting the crypto sentiment amongst local investors through expected looser monetary policies that have already driven Bitcoin to a record high against the Japanese yen. Beyond markets, her supportive regulatory approach may bring more regulatory clarity and spur digital asset adoption in the country. Before the election, Japanese regulatory agencies have been exploring more crypto friendly frameworks as part of the former Prime Minister's new capitalism strategy aiming to stimulate Japan's investment landscape. Back in June, Japan's Financial Services Agency proposed a significant reclassification of crypto that would pave the way for launching ETFs and introduce a 20 tax on digital asset income in the country. Now personally I believe the taxation is theft, but I mean the proposal suggests recognizing crypto as financial product under the scope of the Financial Instruments and Exchange act. The same regulatory framework governing securities and traditional financial products. Maybe that's their version of the sec. But anyways that's positive news for crypto in general and for the country of Japan. Let's go Iron Lady. Come on now. Konichiwa. Next story of the day Fam. Our next headline here reads Standard Chartered, a major banking institution predicts 1 trillion could exit the emerging market banks entering stable coins by the next having in 2028. Standard Chartered also is suggesting a 200000 price target before the end of the year. So I like to throw that out there as well. Multinational bank. Let me know if you've ever heard of them. Them I believe they're in the UK because that's not an institution I'm familiar with here in the States. They predict that more than 1 trillion can exit emerging market banks flowing into stable coins by 2028 year the next having as demand for the US dollar peg crypto assets accelerate. In a Monday report, Standard Chartered's Global Research department said it expects global stablecoin adoption to accelerate as payment networks and other core banking activities shift to the non bank sector. As stablecoins gain traction in the emerging markets, Standard Chartered noted, users might utilize stablecoins to access what's essentially a US dollar based account. Quoting them here. Stablecoin ownership has been more prevalent in EM than dm, suggesting that such diversification is also more likely in EM emerging markets. That is due to those factors, Standard Chartered predicts stable coins used for savings and emerging markets will increase from 173 billion to 1.22 trillion by 2028. I think roughly that's a factor of maybe 5 to 6x, implying that roughly 1 trillion could exit emerging market banks within the next three years. And in this chart it shows you figure one more vulnerable countries and their current deposit bases according to Standard Chartered. And it lists, you know, Egypt, Pakistan, Cambodia, yada yada yada and the high ones here, India, China and Brazil, probably due to the population size I would assume. Now, Standard Chartered said the biggest disruption from stable coins will likely come from emerging markets where access to US dollars have historically been limited. By providing customers with digital 24.7access to US dollar accounts, stable coins represent lower credit risks and deposits held in their local banks as the United States Genius act requires them to be fully backed by us. Standard Chartered said this dynamic increases the risk of deposit flight from emerging market banking systems to crypto alternatives. The bank estimated roughly two thirds of the current stablecoin supply is already in savings wallets across emerging markets. Standard Chartered added added countries with high inflation, weak reserves and large remittance inflows are at a risk of deposit flight into the stable coins. And I think that's precisely what we're witnessing missing Venezuela, for example, is often seen as an example of this shift from banking to stable coins. With annual inflation between 2 to 300%. Damn. And the Bolivar's value collapsing in real time, citizens have turned to stable coins both as a medium of exchange and as a store value. Imagine using a stable coin as a store value. It's nuts. Merchants now widely denominate prices in usdt, often referred to locally as binance dollars. And lo and behold, binance coin has been hitting new all time highs. I don't know if you follow that, but it was like I don't know, 13, 1400 just the other day. It may still be around that ballpark. So yeah, CZ super rich. I think he's by far the wealthiest person in crypto in Chainalysis 2024 crypto adoption report Venezuela ranked 13th showcase 100 or 110 increase of crypto usage throughout the year and I think it's only going to get more popular in these countries. Brazil, Argentina. 60% of crypto transactions are stable coins. So I mean, it's only going to continue to be more and more popular due to the nature of their failing currencies. All right, fam. Now for our feature story of the day. Big news. Walmart to introduce bitcoin trading in their mobile app. According to the latest reports confirmed by cnbc. That's right. The world's largest retail chain, Walmart, which I always refer to as Wally World, is set to integrate bitcoin and ether trading into their mobile application. Sign of the times. We all knew this was inevitable, fam. Crypto transactions will be added to the platform's existing financial interface with the support of the startup Zero hash. A full rollout is planned for the end of this year. Can we get much more bullish? Absolutely. October in full swing, Novemble round the Kona and then a Christmas December along with this rollout from Wally World. Let's get it. With the company gradually launching the functionality and select U S states. That's interesting. Why not just roll it out across the board? I wonder which states they're going to choose. Users will be able to top their accounts with crypto, which will be automatically converted into fiat currency for subsequent use in store purchases. So this is for those that want to start making purchases in crypto. I don't know if they've confirmed exactly which cryptocurrencies they will accept, but I'm going to assume it's bitcoin and Ethereum potentially. Maybe a couple of other top coins. Let's see if they break it down. One pay, let me know if you heard of them. Is a fintech company founded by Walmart and venture firm ribbit Capital in 2021. According to sources, the firm aims to create a super app with cryptocurrency integration being one of the first steps in this direction. And I think it's a sign of the time they're maybe losing out on a lot of business from the people who want to pay in crypto. They got to do what their customers want at the end of the day. A number of major companies have already added crypto to their services. A notable example is the payment giant PayPal. We have discussed this in numerous episodes. Which integrated digital assets back in 2020 and even launched its own stablecoin P YUSD in 2023. Which leads me to believe Walmart would probably launch their own stable coin Considering how big of a retail there are, I mean they are the largest. I don't know if Amazon is bigger, but physical location wise, it's definitely hands down Walmart. In mid September this year, the firm also announced the release of peer to peer platform which will support Here we go bitcoin, Ethereum and PayPal stablecoin. In October it was revealed that Samsung, we covered this as well, will enable Galaxy smartphone owners to purchase crypto directly through an integrated wallet. Thanks to the partnership with the exchange Coinbase. So just another sign of the times I personally feel I've been preaching for years. All the major retailers will come on board because it only makes sense for them to use crypto. Because for example, with bitcoin the transaction is the settlement and they can save approximately 2% on every transaction in those processing fees which go to the old payment rails such as Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Etc. So why would you want to lose billions of dollars and fund Visa and the old world order when you can just cut out the middleman where Bitcoin, you know, the transaction is the settlement and that's part of the big picture here. So it's not necessary to do these, you know, to have 2, 3, 4% merchant processing fees. And especially when you're the biggest retailer in the world, you could be saving billions of dollars and you could also pass those savings along to your customers. You could incentivize. I'm just speaking, you know, thinking out loud, you know, outside the box. Offer your customers, your retail customers. If I was Walmart, I would offer my retail customers like 5% bitcoin rewards back. Kind of like how the Gemini and Coinbase Exchange both have a similar feature offer right now with their credit card, debit card, for example, you can go apply for one at Gemini or Coinbase and you could receive, I think it's 4% bitcoin back on all purchases. Which makes it a no brainer because it's almost like in order for a bitcoiner. Because bitcoiners I perceive as intelligent considering how unintelligent the masses are. Yeah, I mean, so you have to incentivize the bitcoiners to actually spend the bitcoin or they're just gonna huddle. So if you incentivize them and say, hey, you know, you get 4% Bitcoin back on all transactions, then they're more likely to spend their crypto. Right. But there has to be like an offer, you got to make it intriguing. Otherwise bitcoiners will probably just be like that get rid of the Fiat. I have the same philosophy. It's like I get Fiat, I want to get rid of it. It it's a melting ice cube. And if you get access to bitcoin, what do you want to do? Hodl it's like the only law of Bitcoin. Hodl be thy name. It's the 11th commandment in the Bible. 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.
