Following one of Bitcoin’s most violent flash crashes to $103K, BlackRock reportedly accumulated 45,000 BTC ($5 B)at an average of $105K — exactly what Max Keiser warned about: engineered dips for institutional accumulation. Meanwhile, VanEck...

In today's show I'll be breaking down the latest technical analysis. We'll also be entertaining Satoshi's 100 billion plus dormant Bitcoin stash. You know the 1.1 million BTC. What would actually happen if it finally moved? We'll also be discussing early bitcoin advocate Roger Veer reaches preliminary settlement with the IRS over the alleged tax fraud.

Also CZ's comeback Trump weighs presidential pardon for the Binance founder. We'll also be discussing Stacy Herbert host Bitcoin month event in El Salvador. Shout out Max and Stacy. And speaking of Max, he points out that yesterday's orchestrated flash crash is a good example of what Simon Dixon is warning Larry Fink slash Black Rock bought 5 billion worth of Bitcoin at the sell off low they helped orchestrate. Anyone who's watched the kaiser report over 13 years and 1900 episodes will know this. Exactly. That's manipulation 101 will also be breaking down a trading giant who called the Bitcoin 2025 peak just made another bold 420% price prediction suggesting Bitcoin ripping to 644,000 per coin. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market. All this plus so much more right here in today's show. If you guys are new to the rumble, you know what to do. Smash the likes and hit the repost over on X. Today is Pot episode 2133 here with your host JV alongside the Fed chair, my co host the nipinator somewhere around here keeping them nipinating. I think I see his paws right behind my arm right there. Can you see him? Let me know if you can spot him. Today is 10-12-2025. Happy Special B a family celebratory day. Today it's Chandy's birthday so please wish her a very special happy birthday. And we may have cake later but stay tuned to find out. But yeah, markets back pumping. We're about to reclaim 115 000. We're up 4000 on the day after the flash crash just the other day to 105 massive volatility. Hi Joe kids. Hi Joe wives. But anyways let's kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. Let me go ahead and pull up. Let's start with coin market cap for the latest data here and then we'll mosey on to the crypto bubbles and all that fun stuff. But as you can see cap.com bitcoin market cap today $2.286 trillion. We also have ether in the green up 10% on the day trading at a roughly a half a trillion. As far as the market cap is concerned the total crypto market cap is 3.89 trillion. Looking to recapture 4 trillion. Lots of volume. 254 billion in the past 24 hours. Obviously there's been lots of liquidations. Bitcoin dominance has been on the up climb 58.7% ether dominance 12.8% checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. We have Dash leading the pack today up 39% on the daily, up 50% on the week. Interesting because for the past week it's been. What's the other one? Zcash that's been leading the pack and they're both privacy coins. Maybe it's trying to tell us something. You have mantle up 38% and t the da jing a la 33% up for the gain. Massive gainers across the board. We're so back brosis and checking out the crypto bubbles as of today you can see virtually everything nicely pumping and in the green everything Checking out the weekly. Let's see unfortunately most the alts are still wrecked across the board. Uh zooming out for the monthly checking her out. Unfortunately bulk of the market wrecked in in the red checking out the annual 12 month perspective here and you can see it's a mixed bag. I dare say 5050 there you have it yo and checking out the crypto greed and fear index as of today October 12th we're finally in extreme fear. It feels like it's been ages since we've seen these levels this low. The silver lining the lower this goes in extreme fear closer to zero the more likely of a parabolic run up and Yesterday we were 27. Last week at 74 in greed and last month of 57 in greed. But anyways next up let's do a little ta aka astrology today dedicated to chandy bitcoin eyes 114 and fact we're on the cusp of reclaiming 115 any moment now it's currently 1149 and change and we're climbing in real time as we continue to pump, pump pump it up here you're looking at this is actually the one hour chart and I'll pull up the live chart shortly centered on 112 and again it's 10-12-12 so some good Gomez here. Coin telegraph and trading view show volatility cooling after the shock 19 billion crypto liquidation event Bitcoin failed to deliver a major recovery but market participants saw next week offering stronger performance. Can see case of relief. Bounce, bounce. Come on bounce. Bring facts. With 32 ounces going into the weekly open for the futures both always brings important flows from the aspect of the macro backdrop as we currently have + thin market atm I guess at the moment right so careful with the margin positions especially any alts hence you can't short your dorks unless you're the insider that shorted bitcoin and ether would like that 8x leverage long with $700 million then you can short it. But that was probably barren if I was the guess. You know the time traveler Mr. Trumpster son. But I digress. Fellow trader hinted that while the market remained unpredictable, the risk of the serious crash was low. You never know what the W close and next week will bring, of course, especially since the Legacy barely had time to respond to Trump quoting him here. However, I'm not overly worried. Everything was poised for a correction anyways, but it all got amplified and we had a system breakdown. Meanwhile the King fisher I don't know if his relation to Bobby Fiser I had a potential liquidity grab centered around 114 with traders heavily shortened. The biddy weekends are for the bitcoin range liquidations fishing as he shared alongside the charts. Then we had another analyst creator of the Cubic analytics even more bullish in a sub stack post. Here's what he shared. Maybe prices fall further from here similar to the consolidations that occurred in August through September 2023 July through September 2024, in February through April 2025 it'd be completely normal for a brief Decline below the 200 day moving average cloud before the reclaim and the trend continuation to new highs. And another analyst wrote if uptrends are just the production of the higher highs and higher lows, then nothing about this consolidation has invalidated the uptrend. That's what I'm saying. He also says while we must accept that the bearish things can happen during uptrends, as this past week proved, it's also vital to accept that being bearish during the uptrend is a great way to lose money and or underperform. Hence you can't short your dorks. You can't afford that. And pulling up some of the live charts as we're on the cusp. Like I mentioned, a few times of recapturing 115 like JV capturing the flag in fifth grade.

See mint mobile.com Take that evildoers. But yeah, yo, you can see we had a hell of a volatile week to say the least. But we are climbing back up. The bottom is in. Larry Fink allegedly bought over 5 billion worth of Bitcoin for Blackroc at that very bottom with the Flash crash, which was allegedly orchestrated according to Simon Dixon and the high priest Max Geyser. I mean, when bitcoin billionaires speak, I listen. But you can see on the hourly chart, look how many green consecutive candles. I'd expect nothing less on Chandy 10's birthday. So very special day here. Dragons roar. And checking out the four hour chart. Four hour chart, lots of bullishness. You can see Satoshi's $100 billion dormant Bitcoin stash. What happens when it finally moves? Let's entertain this. We'll get through this pretty quick. But we all know Satoshi has allegedly 1.1 million bitcoin, making him the largest bitcoin holder in the world. Potential triggers for the movement of Satoshi's bitcoin holdings. Personally, considering they've never moved since the inception of the Genesis block, I think it's. You know what I'll do, I'm not going to show the article, we're just going to talk about it. That way. I can avoid bandwidth issues because it's like a massive article. But long story short, we all know the bitcoin has never moved. And people speculate what's going to happen when Satoshi comes back and moves his stash or maybe sells it. I think the likelihood of that happen is very minimal, just considering he's been holding for 17 years. Let's speculate how many of you believe Satoshi is no longer living on this planet and potentially has ascended. Kind of like Hal Finney ascended, may he rest in peace. Or for that matter will never move the stash. I'm a firm believer it'll never move. If he was going to make a move, it probably would have happened a long time ago. I'm a firm believer in that. So that's number one. So, however, what if, what if it became a target? For example, what do they say the, with the AI, the, the super computers hacking Satoshi's wallet because it becomes a honey pot? Well, my understanding is it's not sitting in one wallet, it's sitting across tens of thousands of wallets. So the hackers using the super computers or super AI to do that, the likelihood of that happening Is slim to none, just considering where we're at right now. Because no bitcoin wallet from my understanding has ever been hacked ever on the network. People that do get hacked, it's because they don't understand how to properly self custody. Maybe they keep their bitcoin on an exchange and then hackers get access to those honeypots. But from that perspective, the likelihood of thousands of wallets getting hacked is slim to none considering not a single wallet has ever been hacked. But JV technology is evolving. Supercomputers, they will eventually be able to hack it. No, because bitcoiners are not retarded. And bitcoin developers especially are not. I dare say they're genius. And they'll always be 100 moves ahead of the hackers. All they have to do is update the, you know, in accordance. And Michael Saylor talks about this a lot as well. But a lot of people who don't believe in bitcoin or you know, more push the fud of the doom and the gloom, they're like, yeah, satoshi is going to come back, he's going to sell all his bitcoin, it's going to crash. Well, even if that happened, which is slim to none because he's most likely probably not on this earth no more. I would assume people like sailor and Bukele and whoever, you know, Larry Fink are just gonna buy up all the bitcoin, right? So it's not going to send bitcoin to zero. And it's actually a benefit for the network. It's actually one of the biggest benefits of the network. The fact that Satoshi is a mystery. If they knew who Satoshi was, they would have probably did something really bad to him. In which they do two people for doing good things for humanity. Because I dare say bitcoin is the greatest gift for humanity. He blessed us with perfect money, right? And perfect money allows us to have something the lizard folks can't control or take advantage of. You can't say that with any other form of money. Obviously fiat is the worst. They just print. They print. It devalues our currency. Your purchasing power of the dollar loses its strength. You go grocery shopping, you damn near fill up a half a cart of groceries. $500, right? That's because your purchasing power is becoming bitcoin's. The opposite being it's perfect money and a perfect store of value. Your purchasing power in bitcoin is mathematically guaranteed to increase, while the dollar is mathematically guaranteed to decrease. So that's why all the whales Recognize this, the smart money, the brilliant people, and they're like, yeah, how much bitcoin do I have? Not enough. Because the dollar is nothing more than a melting ice cube. It's a failed experiment and it reached its expiration date. So what will the forces of evil do next? They're going to introduce what they already have, the stablecoin act, and introduce stable coins because they want to disguise that and pretend it's not a central bank digital currency, which is all really just a digital dollar in which they can create out of thin air, right, the real money they hoard. And for thousands of years the real money has been gold, right? And then when they took us off the gold standard, they basically created these fiat notes which are virtually worthless. And they supposed to be backed, you know, by something, but it's really backed by military. And that's why the world's to still using it as a world reserve currency by force. What happened to Saddam Hussein in Iraq when he was introducing like his own alternative currency? They messed him up, you know, I mean, what happened to Gaddafi? Wap Yeah, I mean, and so now you have movements such as the BRICS movement, Russia, you know, Middle East, China coming together, you know, D basically they recognize the destabilization of the dollar. They recognize bitcoin is ultimately demonetizing all asset classes in real time. Real estate's the perfect example. And let me explain why. Because five years ago maybe the average house was like 50 Bitcoin. Ten years ago, maybe it was 500 Bitcoin. Today the average house in America with bitcoin at over a hundred thousand per coin, I dare say four bitcoin, maybe five bitcoin. If we're talking half million dollar properties depending upon where you live, that's the perfect example. Let's fast forward into the future. Top of the Decade 2030, how much will a half a million dollar house call or I'm sorry, how much will a half million dollar cost today? A house in bitcoin projected into the future, probably one bitcoin, potentially a half a bitcoin. How many sats is the real question? That's because bitcoin is demonetizing real estate in real time. It's demonetizing gold. Gold has a very significant market cap, maybe 25 trillion ballpark. Just hit a $4,000 an ounce, all time high. Yeah, I mean, and, but long story short, Bitcoin is the apex predator. And the best way to describe it, it's like a black hole sucking in all the monetary value of significance in the World now real estate.

See mint mobile.com total market cap. I don't even know the number, but I bet you it's astro fucking nomical. Probably. I don't know. I just want to throw out like over a hundred trillion. And yes, bitcoin will demonetize real estate. It's already happening. It's demonetizing gold. It's the monetizing everything. Get used to it. Nipinator, Lickinator, be on the lookout. But anyways fam. Next story of the day. Early Bitcoin advocate Roger Veer reaches preliminary settlement with the IRS over alleged tax fraud. We first brought up this story a few episodes ago and hope to see some updates in this particular new article which was just published, according to the New York Times. Anonymous People familiar with the matter say Roger Veer has agreed to pay tens of millions. I believe it's like 48 million in that range to settle the criminal tax fraud case. Just goes to show you you can allegedly commit crimes including money laundering, as long as you're willing to pay off the forces of evil, that's perfectly viable. Great example. Veer, who was charged last year with fraud and tax evasion for allegedly owing the IRS 48 million worth of taxes from his crypto asset holdings. And if you're not familiar with him, he's the one who forked bitcoin with bitcoin cash a very long time ago. So a lot of the bitcoin maxis despise. Roger has agreed to pay the sum in exchange for his char charges eventually being dropped, though the plea has yet to be officially recognized in court. So right now it's still speculation. According to the New York Times, Veer paid and hired various people close to president Trump, like lawyers David showin, Christopher Kais in an attempt to influence the case. Ultimately, he was looking for a presidential pardon from the Trumpster. And speaking of presidential pardons, apparently so is Czech. That's a future story here in the show. Stick around. Veer renounced his U. S. Citizenship back in 2014, was then arrested in Spain last year, U. S. Authorities accused him of misrepresenting the value of his crypto holdings while settling his tax debt to the U. S as a part of him renouncing his citizenship, which is ultimately saying, I no longer want to be a U. S. Citizen, I'm going to become a citizen over there, therefore I'm not liable for all the taxes. But the US Government disagrees. The IRS wants their money. Keep in mind, the IRS is how they got Al Capone on tax evasion. It was one of the most notorious gangsters of the time and he was untouchable. But then the irs, they got him. But anyways, in January Veer posted on X saying he was being threatened. He was saying it's a law, it's law fair. Threatened with 100 years in jail due to his political views. Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with his political views, but that's just me and his bitcoin advocation. Potentially. They do like to set examples against people that are big advocates of bitcoin. I mean, a great example of that is what's his name? Ross Albrecht. He got I think two life sentences for finding Silk road. Yeah, I mean, and that's a great example of lawfare and that's an example of somebody Trump actually pardoned, but I don't think the bitcoin community is begging Trump and signing things for him to pardon Roger. But we sure as hell we're doing that for Ross Albrecht. So I would not personally compare Ross to Roger. But I'll keep you posted with the latest. It seems like they'll probably take the offer, pay the $48 million, not serve any jail time. All is well and here's my philosophy. If he has 48 million, which I would speculate he has at least hundreds of millions considering how early of an adopter he is. Potentially billions. I really don't know. Nobody really knows. But it'd probably be worth it to stay out of jail or prison because if you're spending life in prison, it doesn't matter if you have access to 100 billion or you had Satoshi stash, it's not going to do you any good over there. I mean, so I don't know. But anyways, let's continue knocking out our news for the day. Speaking of pardons, CZ's comeback, Trump weighs presidential pardon for the Binance founder Now cz, I personally don't deem him a criminal. I believe he got caught up and he had to pay that 4 billion dollar fine to the Department of Justice. But he didn't like purposely fraudulently scam his users out of billions of dollars like, you know, a bankman freed. But I digress. Here's the story. Trump is reportedly considering a pardon from the Banana founder cz, commonly known as Xiangping Zhao. This development, I love the Chinese names by the way, comes amid the heavy liquidations in the crypto market after the Republican President announced plans for 100 tariff on China for the Chinese goods. In the report on October 10, Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino shared inside scoop. Hopefully it was chocolate, my favorite flavor. Scoop of ice cream stated that the discussions in the White House were some gelato something or Italian ice. Even better comments over the potential presidential pardon for the Binance former boss cz, the analysts explained that the motion appeared to have sprung out of the partial belief that Trump's camp that the fraud case against the Chinese born Canadian was weak and that his felony conviction and prison sentence were dis proportionate. Now my understanding as well, CZ is officially the richest person to ever serve jail time. You know, his like net worth is speculated to be like between 75 and a hundred billion dollars. Yeah, look it up. In 2023, the US authorities charged Shangping Zhao Binance with violating the bank Secrecy act. Probably would've never happened under the Trump administration. It was the Biden administration and there was a war on crypto which really explains it. After failing to maintain adequate anti money laundering controls according to the and I think it's things. Things like not preventing people from jurisdictions like for example in the US from using the main website in which it's hard for them to control because people can use VPNs like NordVPN. But according to the US Department of Justice, or as I call it, the U. S. Department of Corruption, Bonance allowed illicit funds to move through its platform like he had control of it. Right. Including transactions linked to the sanctioned countries and criminal enterprises like the infamous Lazarus Group of North Korea. CZ personally pleaded guilty. That's because he didn't want to be found guilty. And instead of taking a plea, maybe he would get 20 years in prison versus a few months in a slap on a wrist. So probably a smart move in hindsight, especially considering I believe Biden it was still their administration to one count of failing to maintain an effective AML program, admitting he did not implement sufficient safeguards to prevent Binance from being used for unlawful purposes. The plea deal was a part of the broader settlement and again they paid 4.3 billion in penalties. Insane, right? One of the largest corporate fines in U. S history. Yeah, I mean, what do you think then the Department of Corruption does with all that money when they receive it? Do they donate it to the homeless? Probably not. As part of the agreement, CZ also stepped down as the Binance CEO that was a part of it. Sentenced for four months in prison, did a bunch of push ups. Following his conviction, CZ temporarily relinquished direct control Bance but controls to retain the ownership stake. Probably a smart, smart move. A potential presidential pardon could effectively erase his conviction and restore his legal standing. However likely, the former Binance boss remains away from the former leadership of the exchange due to the Binance agreement with the doj. So basically he had to step down. The kind of the same thing they gave Arthur Hayes back in the day. And amid the positive news for cz, Gasparino noted that the presidential pardon may take some time as the government is facing critical issues. And let's not forget there's a shutdown. Allegedly. Notably, Trump has Now threatened to impose 100 tariff on all Chinese goods after the Asian nation announced plans to implement sweeping export controls.

C mobile.com on almost every product starting from November this year. But anyways, let's continue with our next headline regarding Stacy Herbert. Shout out to her, of course, and Max. This headline reads, Stacy Herbert, host Bitcoin month in El Salvador. And let me know if any of you are tuned in from bitcoin country. I know my man Brandon Martin is. I know my boy Sergio is Bitcoin. Caps.net Special shout out to Max and Stacy. So yeah, Stacy's set to host the kickoff event for Bitcoin month in El Salvador and it's kind of a big deal. The event will take place at the La Cajita. I'm probably butchering it because my Spanish is poor, but nonetheless, it's a very beautiful restaurant and it's one of the exclusive places where you can get your hands on one of the Coco Maxes, the drink that made El Salvador famous. And this begins November 9th from 5 to 7. The celebration of bitcoin will become a meetup organized by Stacy Herbert and Max Kaiser, My favorite bitcoin power couple you already know. Shout out to the Kaiser Report, the greatest financial news program to ever exist. They were preaching about bitcoin when it was 23 cents per coin back in December of 2010. I got the proof of work. I'll play it later. Aimed at fostering community engagement around crypto. Tickets to the event are free, though seating is very limited and attendees need to join the waiting list via Eventbrite. VIP ticket holders from the Bitcoin historico will have priority table seating. Let me know if anyone is going to be attending. Adding a touch of exclusivity to the gathering. By organized such events, Herbert and Max Kaiser continue to be prominent voices in the space, actively promoting bitcoin adoption and awareness. And regions like El Salvador Thy Savior, which has embraced bitcoin as legal tender. You know, the free first country to do so. This was back in 2021. So Stacy wrote here. To kick off bitcoin month in El Salvador, Max and Stacy are having a Meetup La Kahita, November 9, 2025. So it's less than a month away from 5 to 7pm Tickets are free, but most likely seating will probably be booked. So I would jump on that. If you're looking to take advantage of that taste The Freedom Renaissance 2.0. Try a cocoa Max for yourself. And I would dare say get a couple of the cocoa Maxes. It's Nipinator's favorite drink, JV's favorite drink. It's espresso being a fire Bukele coffee beans, only greatness. Herbert and Kaiser's ongoing efforts to promote bitcoin adoption align with the broader ambitions of El Salvador positioning itself as a future safe haven for digital assets. A trend explored in detail in Stacy's El Salvador attracts attention as future safe haven. It's the new arc. Their focus on community engagement also mirrors broader initiatives supporting technological development in the region and exemplified by Herbert's coverage of the growth of young El Salvador's robotics talent and nurturing of local innovation. As you know, Stacy is the head of the bitcoin office over there, the director. And they're doing big things. So yeah, a massive shout out, of course, as always, to Max and Stacy. And I promise to play a clip. This is a throwback of Stacy back in December of 2010 when Bitcoin was 23 cents. The very first time bitcoin ever mentioned on the Kaiser report.
Bitcoin Expert
Proof of work, as WikiLeaks has, has been, you know, he's. They're being attacked by the various banks around the world. So one solution is bitcoin. And this is. It differs because there's no central bank or other kind of controlling interest. It's entirely decentralized. Bitcoins are transferred between individuals or businesses by specifying their bitcoin address. And then transactions are conducted through a peer to peer network. So there's no single point of weakness. And nobody can stop the bitcoin system or censor it short of turning off the entire Internet.
JV
And there you have it. That was around the time of WikiLeaks in the news and the rest is history. You know, here we are what, 16, 17 years later. Yo. Now for our feature story of the day. The high priest Max Kaiser points out something. Here's a post by the crypto guru who Shares just in Blackrock bought 45000 BTC worth. That's $5 billion worth at an average price of 105000 during the flash crash. And then Max responded. Yesterday's orchestrated flash crash is a good example of what Simon Dixon is warning. Larry Fink and BlackRock bought 5 billion BTC at the sell off low they helped orchestrate. That means insiders. Yo, anyone who's watched the kaiser report over 13 years, 1900 episodes already knows. Yeah, so let me know if you agree or disagree with Max Kaiser on that one. That there's some insider manipulation going on with BlackRock, potentially some Trump administration insiders and all that fun stuff. But I also wanted to point out this particular story on the day this trading giant who called Bitcoin's 2025 peak just made another bull 420 price prediction happy 420 bitty broskis. We're referring to Matthew Siegel. He wrote here on X we've been saying bitcoin should reach half a goal's market cap after the next. Having roughly half of the gold's value reflects its use as a store value rather than industrial jewelry demand. And surveys show younger consumers in emerging markets increasingly prefer bitcoin for that role. At today's record gold price that implies an equivalent value of $644,000 per bitcoin. The doing doing. And let's dive a little deeper into what Matthew Siegel here has to share. So yeah, as you know, lots of volatility in the market. Vaneck, this guy is an analyst for Van Eck, another major asset management giant. He accurately predicted Bitcoin's 2025 peak. He now suggests digital asset BTC could reach the equivalent value, as I just pointed out, of 644000 by the next having which is only three years away, less than three years, probably be in April of 2028. The bold prediction comes as gold prices hit record highs nearing the 4,000 per ounce. And yes, Peter Schiff was spotted bingo night in the Walmart parking lot of Dora, Puerto Rico doing backflips. He's celebrating apparently. I mean he deserves it. Creating a new benchmark for bitcoin's potential market cap. And you already know bitcoin will eat away that gold market cap and by the time it does, just half of that bitcoin will be damn near near a million per coin. And yeah, lots of volatility. We hit the 1263 all time high on coinbase. Then we had a flash crash yesterday which Max says was orchestrated alongside Simon Dixon. And here we are back ripping like the new Scotty Pippen once again. Above 115 you can't take the bitcoin out. Bitcoin does what bitcoin wants. Now Matthew Seagull, the head of digital asset research of anac, he unveiled his latest bitcoin forecast on Monday, tying it directly to the goal historic rally. His his master thesis centers on generational shift to the store value performance amongst the younger investors. Quitting them here we've been saying bitcoin could reach half of the gold market cap. And what is the gold market cap right now? I dare say it's probably like Morning Zoe.

Now theoretically what would happen if bitcoin ate gold's entire market cap and that 25 trillion went right into the pretty little bitty going up forever.

Do you think the reason for that flash crash yesterday was all through insiders to crash the market buy on the low? And what's your thoughts on Venex?

It’s heavy on speculation around market manipulation, government overreach, and establishment hostility to Bitcoiners, punctuated by humor, energetic rants, and original musical segments. The message throughout is clear: buy, hodl, and stay sovereign in the face of both manipulation and legacy pushback.
For those who missed the live stream, this episode cuts through the headlines, shines a light on institutional chess moves, and spotlights the unwavering faith—and fighting spirit—of Bitcoin’s most ardent supporters. Hodl on.
