Bitcoin fam and happy sat stack. Hey, we're back in the green. Just like that. In today's show I'll be breaking down the latest ta everything you need to know in the market. We'll also be discussing can bitcoin recover as gold plunges from record highs? I'll be breaking it down for you. We'll also be discussing big News out of Moscow. 376 billion crypto milestone puts Russia ahead of Europe. We'll also be discussing public companies hold 110 billion in Bitcoin but which are profiting from the bitcoin standard. Also stable coins are really central business digital currencies. Well, let's rephrase that. I've always been saying that stablecoins are nothing more than central bank digital currencies. Also in today's show it's Uncle Ricky's birthday. Allegedly the third richest man in Mexico. I dare say now the richest man and he predicts Bitcoin to 14x from the current price action. A 1.5 million per coin. Help me wish Uncle Ricky a happy birthday. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market. All this plus so much more in today's show right here. Sat Stacking Saturday. Let's kick off the stream. If you guys are new to the rumble important smash the likes, give us a follow and hit that repost over on X. And the direct Rumble link is bitcoin news alerts.net and the X handle is BTC news alerts. I'm your host JV alongside the Fed chair, my co host, the one and only nipinator keeping them nipinating. And today is 10-18-2025. We had a hell of a week as far as a correction. First week of October, pure bullishness. Second week pure correction. And here we are in the weekend. It's sat Stacking Saturday and we're floating like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. Rest in peace Muhammad ali. We're just above 107200 on the day. Let's kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. Pulling up coinmarketcap.com you should be able to see right here Bitcoin dominance today 58.7%. The Bitcoin market cap 2.1 trillion and Ethereum market cap just shy of 470 billion on the day. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. We got Morpho, Pump Fun and Monero. We're leading the pack. Next up the crypto bubbles to get a little visual perspective on the day as you should be able to see right here on your screen bulk of the market back in the green which is nice cuz for the past week has been blood red. I even wore a blood red shirt today. But checking out the weekly. They get any better? Yeah, not too shabby. It's a pretty good divide. I'd say 6040 green over red. Checking out the monthly unfortunately puts everything in perspective. Rec city across the board. Many of These alts down 30 to 70%. Checking out a visual annual perspective 7030 green over red. Checking out the crypto Greed and fear index Yesterday was a local bottom of 22. Ain't seen in a minute today barely above it at a 23. Silver lining. The lower that number goes, more likely of a pump, pump, pump, pump it up. Next up is our ta AKA Astrology for the Brosis. Let me know how the stream handles the screen share today please. I didn't get any feedback thus far so I'm gonna assume all is good in the hood, but yeah. Next up let's break this down. Bitcoin price lines up nicely for the 95,000drop. Next, despite the bullish RSI data referring to the relative strength index here, you're looking at a one hour chart and I'll pull up the live charts. Just remember you can't short your dorks. We can't afford that. This gave the bull some much needed relief after a week of nasty surprises let Bitcoin down another 7% now at the lowest levels in months. Bitcoin did I think flash crash all the way down to 103 at the time of the live we're just above 107. It all lines up nicely across the board for another wave down bitcoin. I see us dropping a 95, said the analyst. Possibly testing the 91 region before we find the bottom. Some say the bottom is in. Let me know your thoughts. Crypto Tony Montana man, a political coiner from c even the sub 100,000 scenario as a bullish scenario Dan. Crypto trades still saw the calmer conditions lasting until the weekly candle close. Bitcoin did a good job recovering some ground on Friday before the CME close. This makes it so we're likely to stick around the 107 level during the weekend. The post flag 105 as the key nearby support level to hold with crypto due for a more significant rebound like a young Dennis Rodman if stocks led the way next week. Also note this week gold hit a new all time high. It surpassed 30 trillion market cap and I believe 3400 an ounce. To that extent the outlook was promising or was it? Correct me if I'm wrong. Was it 4400 an ounce or 34? I don't want to get my facts crossed so please verify that for me. I do know it hit over 30 trillion that's for sure. Trump did not expect higher tariffs on China to last help equity stabilize and the government is still allegedly in a shutdown while gold came off the latest all time highs. But can the RSI deliver the bitcoin price Bounce? Bounce, come on bounce. With a daily RSI at the lowest seen since April, Bitcoin fell to 75. Back then the four hour chart showed a clear bullish divergence developing and I'll share with you the live charts here shortly, another analyst said. Interesting. Bitcoin confirmed the bullish divergence on the 6 hours 8 hour 12 hour 2 time frame, building an oversold RSI data point with a sentiment sentiment as the Depressed as I've ever seen. And then again, cryptogred Fear index hidden a low we ain't seen in a hot minute which is a A22. And with that being shared, let's pull up some of the live charts really quick. You can see we'll start on the one hour, no particular bull, uh, scenarios sitting here. Uh, zooming it out. We'll go to the four hour and work our way backwards. Four hour chart. You can see we're looking to rebuild after bottoming out at the 103 level yesterday. It is a sat stack and Saturday an excellent time to stack the bitties. No particular targets here but we're clearly way below the moving averages you can see on the screen. Checking out the daily you can do got a bull target here in the purple. It's a bull flag. And again we're just above 107 at the time of the live but 146 bull flag and play on the daily. Checking out the weekly. We do get a weekly close tomorrow naturally on Sunday Funday it'll be a SAT stack and Sunday for the books unfortunately. Big red cascading down candle for this week. Most likely we're going to close in the red unless we have a big turnaround between now and tomorrow. And last week was a big ass red candle. Deleting all the gains from the first week of October and taking a quick snapshot of the 1 Monon chart. You can see, unfortunately October is in the red. Last month we closed in the green. Before that we closed in the red and then we had four consecutive green candle closes. And there you have it. Yo. That's the latest with what's going on in the market as far as our Market Watch headline here reads can Bitcoin recover as gold plunges from record highs as the analysts weigh in. That's right, gold's rally appears to have stalled after hitting a high. And I guess I can crack myself. Earlier when I first referenced 3, 400 an ounce that was off, it was 4, 400 an ounce. Correction made given it had dropped 3% since and it did top 30 trillion as a market cap. So gold has doubled, I think in a couple of years.

The US Electric grid is approaching a breaking point as demand soars from data centers and home energy use. Our aging infrastructure can't keep up. And the Department of Energy warns that without action, blackouts could surge 100 fold by 2030. The good news? One solution is already here. Propane. It's American made, stored on site and always ready powering homes and businesses with cleaner, reliable energy that doesn't depend on the grid or the weather.

[JV]

Cmnobile.com I think since the beginning of 2024 it was like just above 2000 and this is the chart right here. Pretty wild but anyways its daily RSI readings have been persistently above 70 for the past month indicating the asset is overbought and risk profit taking. Bitcoin jumped by almost 4% during the goal correction period, recovering from the worst level in four months of 1035. The local bottom. Its RSI reading is also the lowest since April, mirroring a bottom structure and that proceeded a rebound of 60% or more in the past. Some analysts say this inverse behavior suggests prelo biddy prices, a bottoming that includes analyst Pat who predicted a generational bottom for bitcoin citing its performance relative to gold over the past four years. And let me know how many of you have any sort of indirect or direct investment into the precious metal. The bitcoin to gold ratio plummeted to levels historically associated with the market. Bottom last seen 2015-2018-2020-2022 each time Bitcoin follow with rallies between 100 and 600%. So remember that Bitcoin is doing its thing thing from here to Sing Sing sipping the ginsing. As of mid October October the ratio has again dipped below 2.5, signaling pretty low bitty undervalue versus the gold. After the metal's record run to 4380, that may mark the beginning of the next bitcoin bull phase.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Just blaze.

[JV]

And for analyst Alex Wasy, the gold pullback. Similar to the 2020 peak that coincided with the local bitty bottom. The question now is whether the gold will once again mark the bullish reversal for the btc. Let me know if you agree. Meanwhile, contrary to the growing view that goals record run may be cooling, HSBC double down on their bull look projecting the precious metal climbing as high as 5,000 per ounce. Come on. By 2026, if that happens to gold, the market cap is going to continue soaring. That just gives Bitcoin that much more potential to run up. So I say let gold do its thing and bitcoin naturally will follow. The bank based the bullish outlook on the geopolitical tension, the economic uncertainty and the weakening of the US dollar which is said to keep demand strong. Unlike previous rallies, I still want to talk to Samson. This one's expected to be driven by the long term investor seeking portfolio stability rather than the short term speculation goals. 2025 rally has seen several overbought corrections but each dip resulted in the price going higher and higher. It's like a helium balloon. The pattern reflects sustained investor confidence amid the geopolitical monetary uncertainty. The very conditions HSBC said it will keep the rally alive, keep hope alive. In 2026. That means extended theory. Send it. Bitcoin zone outlook remains highly optimistic with the JP Morgan analyst predicting pretty low Biddy reaching 165 this year arguing it remains undervalued relative to gold. Similarly, we have Charles Edwards noting decisive breakout above 120 will propel the Bitcoin towards 150. 150 going once, 12050 going twice. Sold. And there you have it, yo. But let's continue where we left off, shall we? Public companies hold 110 billion worth of Bitcoin but which are profiting from the Bitcoin standard. Let's discuss it, shall we? Public companies holding substantial Bitcoin reserves continue to redefine the corporate treasury Strategy, collectively managing 1 million Pokemon. I'm just playing 1,000,045,000 Bitcoin worth 110 billion as of yesterday, October 17th. The model pioneered by strategy use balance sheets to accumulate the bitty as a hedge against inflation and fiat currency debasement. Yet despite similar goals, their stock performances diverge sharply, revealing who truly benefited from the Bitcoin standard. I mean this chart speaks volumes. And you can see this coming from bitcoin treasuries.net you can see there's now over 4 million bitcoin being held across these. The primary lion share being the ETFs and other funds. Then you can see the public companies and the purple governments in the green. And the US government just, you know, confiscated 15 billion worth of Bitcoin from some Cambodian pig butchering scam which we covered earlier in the week. You also have the D5, the smart contracts, the private companies and the exchange custodians Strategy led with 640000 Bitcoin having begun accumulation back 8-11-2020 at 13.49 per share now trading at 284. And I think the all time high was above 500. It has surged 2000% eclipsing the Prelo Bitty 900% gain over the same period through the debt finance purchasing convertible notes. The company has evolved into the Bitcoin proxy with a market cap of 83 billion even after a 45% retreat from the 2024 highs. Meanwhile riot platforms follow with 19,000 of the bitty accumulating since early 2020 at $3.20 per per share currently at $19.50 marking a 510% rise powered by efficient mining operations and treasury expansion. Shares peaked 71 bones during the 2021 bull cycle highlighting the BTC leverage And as you can see no one's even remotely close to strategy at this time. Marathon digital at 53,000 meaning sailor got a 12x exposure to the bitty. Then the second place pole position for the winter Clean Spark began accumulating the biddy in 2023 at $5.20 now trading at 20 bucks. That's a 285% gain in the membrane supported by the low cost mining of the reinvestment of the mine for the BTC. Meanwhile Mara held 53,000 Bitcoin up from $8.50. That's from December of 2020 marking the $20 level today marking 135% gains. It's hybrid minor treasury model back by 376. 6 million in 2024. Revenue underscored the combo strength of the operational scale the treasury appreciation. Then we got The Hut Hut Hut 8 began the Bitcoin accumulation March 2018 17.60 trading at 48 on Friday. Do you notice a pattern that's 173 raise benefiting from consistent production growth. So it may be beneficial to adopt Bitcoin. Put some on the balance sheet, your stock goes up. That's what I'm seeing now. Newer entrants also show similar momentum. For example bullish BLSH with 24,000 of the bitty went public August 12th at 37 bucks. Now trading at 57 bones. Nip Anator going crazy when he hears that up 55% fuel while they exchange synergies at the bitcoin exposure. Then you got Coinbase holding 11,776 Bitcoin. But I also like to point out that they're the primary custodian of virtually every major publicly traded company and ETF minus Fidelity, and that includes the Black Rock. So for example, whoever holds the keys really owns and controls the Bitcoin. And my understanding is Coinbase holds all micro strategies Bitcoin and all of Black Rocks Bitcoin. And just between those two firms, we're talking like 1.4 million BTC. So keep that in mind. Famine. All right, next door. Yo guys, ready with the M Spaghetti? Next up, stable coins are really central business digital currencies. This struck my attention because I've been preaching for a long time that stable coins are nothing more than programmable digital money. What's the difference between a Stablecoin and a central bank digital currency? You tell me. But they labeled it a little different here. They're calling it a central business digital currency versus a central bank digital currency. So check it. Investors should exercise discernment when considering privately issued stables which carry all the risk of the central bank digital currency.

Their own unique risk according to Jeremy Kranz, Founder Manager Partner of Venture Capital firm Sentinel global crayons called privately issued stablecoin central bank business digital currency which feature all the surveillance backdoors, programmability and controls as the skill CBDCs. And I gotta respect that for saying that because a lot of people they don't preach the truth and I mean it's very common sense here. Central business digital currency is really not necessarily that different. Thank you. So if JP Morgan or the devil himself issued a dollar stablecoin and controlled it through the Patriot act or whatever else comes out in the future, they can freeze your money and then bank you. Hence why just say no to the stack. The BTC now over collateralized stablecoin issuers which back their blockchain tokens with cash. You know cash is trash. The short term government securities can be subject to the bank runs if too many of the holders attempt to redeem the tokens at the same time. Algorithmic stable synthetic stables that is which rely on the software the complex trades to maintain the dollar peg also feature their own counterparty risks and dependencies like the risk of deepen from the volatility of the flash crash or or in crypto derivative markets. Cran said the tech is a neutral tool that can be used to build a better financial future for the humanity or to be misused. But the outcome is reliant on individual investors reading the fine print, understanding the risk and making informed choices about the financial instruments you choose to hold. Also a rapid pace of innovation and stablecoins crypto tokenization tech is like 10 black swan events. Ultimately don't trust the stack the bitties be smart yo. The Stablecoin market cap crossed 300 billion milestone and they all want a piece of the pie, including the Trumpster. He has his own stablecoin now. Stable coins experience heightened interest following the passage of the Genius Stablecoin act or the bill of the U.S. which drew mixed reactions from the lawmakers. Marjorie Green, U.S. representative of Georgia called the bill a CBDC Trojan horse. Thank you. Respect. This bill regulates the stables, provides for the back door of the cbdc. Precisely. Never trust the lizard folk fam. The Federal Reserve has been planning a CBDC for years, probably over a decade. And this will open a door to move you to the cashless society into the digital currency that will be weaponized against you by the authoritarian government controlling your ability to buy and sell. And that's a great fantastic warning. Now for our feature story of the day. First and foremost, happy Birthday Uncle Ricky Ricardo. Selena says bitcoin will go up at least 14 times suggesting a $1.5 million BTC catching up with gold and then we'll continue to outperform again. Happy Birthday Uncle Ricky. Sincerely on behalf of the BNA fam and the one and only Nipinator. But now I want to discuss Moscow's 376 billion crypto milestone, putting the Russia ahead of Europe. That's right, large transactions appear to have pushed to Overall totals continue to go up. Transfers greater than 10 million rose by 86 in Russia over the year, a much faster increase than seen across the European markets. Meanwhile, the D5 activity expanded sharply, rising roughly Eightfold in early 2025 compared to the mid 2023 levels before settling at three and a half times that earlier baseline. Those moves suggest the bigger players the biggest including the funds. Institutional traders are moving significant amounts on chain and here's a breakdown of the top countries within the wider European region by total value received Russia Pole position followed by the uk, Germany, Ukraine, France, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Sweden and Finland. Can't forget Belgium and Czech Republic reports that pointed to a ruble peg stable coin known as the A7A5 as one of the rails used for the cross border settlement. That token reached roughly a half a billion in market cap early October on chain transfers tied top 40 billion in in recent months. Hide your kids, hide your wives. I still want to talk to Samson U S and European officials have raised concerns about the connections between some stablecoin flows and sanction entities, which have drawn extra attention to where the money is coming from and where it's going. Russia is also preparing formal digital money options based on reports, the central bank plans a national Digital Ruble Launch September 1st of next year. The lawmakers have discussed the rules that could require major companies to support the CBDC central bank digital currency from the start. Just remember stack bitties. Just say no to the CBDCs. There has been talk of a national crypto bank and speaking of bitcoin banks, the first one is being launched in El Salvador. Let's go bitcoin country anyways. Measuring the retail access of the trading some might shift some informal activity into the regulated channels. High transaction volume does not mean mass retail adoption across the populace. Much of the growth is concentrated in the wholesale flows example trading desks, settlement transfers and firms using the stablecoin rails. That concentration makes the aggregate numbers large and real, but it also means the typical consumer may not be using crypto for the routine payments. Still, A7A5 shows how quickly on chain rails can scale scale when other payment options and Routes are constrained. And if you don't know now you know, Broskis. And there's the latest big adoption out of Russia. Russia. But let me know if you agree. Disagree. And what's your thoughts on Uncle Ricky's one and a half million bitcoin price prediction? When do you feel that'll likely take place? Holla at your boy. And welcome everyone to the Q and A segment of the live stream. Now I'm gonna play some music for you, bro. Turn it up.
