They're the primary shareholders and they just recently, or at least Vanguard embraced bitcoin to their 50 million clients. So yeah, the world's second largest asset manager opens its platform to Bitcoin and crypto ETFs, which is a pretty big deal. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market.

Today is December 6th, 2025. This is Pot Episode 2188. I'm your host, JV. Co host Nipinator. He's around here. He might pop by, say hello, be on the lookout for the Nip Anator indicator. But anyways, without further ado, let's kick it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. Pulling up coin 360. You can see bitcoin and all the major cryptos are in the green right now. Just very modest gains. Half a percent gain on the day. Bitcoin looking to reclaim 90 GS here during the live stream we have Ether up a half a percent and like I said, just modest gains across the board. Checking out coinmarketcap.com today's crypto market cap 3.05 trillion. The Bitcoin market cap $1.7867 trillion. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. We got Optimism Pump Fun and Polygon leading the pack. Pretty modest overall. 65 and 5% gains on the day. Checking out the crypto Green interfere index. Today it's a 23 extreme fear. So yes, we're back in the extreme fear. Yesterday was a 28, last week a 28. And last month a 27 in fear. And checking out the time chain calendar. Today's block height 920 6724. NASA December 6th. You can exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 1,117 sats on the one hour chart. We do have a bull Target sitting at 109 as you can see on your screen. Checking out the four hour. Let's check her out, the four hour chart. No particular targets. You know, we're just trading sideways at the moment. Nothing very significant here. Checking out the daily, the daily chart, we'd have a bear target. I'm not even going to entertain. Super low, but yeah. So unfortunately on the daily we're in the red yesterday and in the red the day before today. We're barely in the green, but pretty even. That's why I say we're pretty much just, you know, trading sideways at the moment. Checking out the weekly here. There's a rising wedge overall and you're going to notice we had four consecutive cascading red candles and we finally reversed it with the last week's close and this new week we're in the red already. So I don't know how much of a December we shall receive. But there's still three weeks left to go and as they say, it's not over to the fat lady's things. Yeah, I mean and checking out the monthly, you're gonna notice October, November, red candles, significant losses, I don't know, 35ish percent. And December, I mean the first day of December was a nightmare. Then second and third day were nice and green, recovering the losses. And here we are tracing back down so we'll see how this fairs out. But anyways, next let's do a little analysis here. Bitcoin poised for December recovery on the macro tailwinds. As you know, some analysts are super bearish and others are pretty optimistic. But the bitcoin Santa rally may be ignited by the macroeconomic tailwind, including the Federal Reserve's incoming interest rate decision. But fearful investor sentiment may take another hit by any talkish, I'm sorry, hawkish remarks from the central bank officials. Improving liquidity conditions and the rising odds of the Federal Reserve interest rate cut may catalyze a recovery in the crypto market during December. According to the Coinbase Institutional quoting them here from one of their reports. We think crypto could be poised for a December recovery as liquidity improves. Fed cut odds jumped to 92% as of Dec. 4 and macro tailwinds build. And in October, Coinbase predicted weakness in the crypto market ahead of the December reversal. That was based on the custom global M2 money supply index, which measures the total outstanding fiat currency supply. And here on the chart you can see the coinbase custom global M2 money supply index. Still, market sentiment remains dominated by fear as the institutional and retail capital remain hesitant to step in, leaving markets in limbo ahead of the recovery and the ETF inflows. Fed interest rate cuts decisive for the Bitcoin momentum early 2026 market analysts flagged the possibility of a Santa rally. I say Merry Christmas. We need to get back to price discovery break through that firmament 1263 for true Santa rally in my opinion. But anyways, if the fed cuts rates December 10th, that's four days out, that's this week. Along with ending QT, there's little standing in the way of a Santa rally for Bitcoin bar any major geopolitical bombshell. I also like to point out that historically when Bitcoin has the parabolic runup, it's within 10 days we can have massive gains, we can recover all the losses and reenter price discovery if that happens and we get a true Santa rally like we witnessed back in 2017. But anyways, investors will scrutinize J Pal's every word during the press conference to get a glimpse into the 2026 monetary policy and any hawkishness which could put a lid on the rally. Other analysts point out overall we're leaning towards a recovery as the biggest driver right now is macro. From a technical perspective. The market has already retested the 80, 000 region and the 100 week average. We're also seeing incremental positives such as Vanguard allowing ETF trading. That was the bombshell big story I discussed the other day and we're going to dive deeper into that today because there's literally 50 million clients which will now have access to ET your exchange traded products. So now that Black Rock and Vanguard, the two largest financial, you know, institutions in the world, have fully embraced Bitcoin, naturally this is very bullish. Another fundamental driver for the crypto assets is growing speculation that National Economic Council Director Kevin Hasset will be appointed as the next Fed Chair, I guess to replace the infamous J Pal, which would be early 2026, a move that would usher in a notably more doish policy stance. But there you go yo. Also I want to point out a big news here Congress.gov website you can see S.4912 the Bitcoin act of 2024. Cynthia Lummis put it's in the hopper.

Prices vary based on how you buy, so whatever the the hopper is, I think it means it's moving and there's getting some traction. You decipher that for me, but apparently it's in the hopper, so shout out Cynthia Lummis Next Story Fam Brokerage behind the Major Crypto treasury deals eyes 10 to 12 billion public listing that's right, Clear Street New York brokerage has become one of the most attractive underwriters in the crypto treasury boomy boom, preparing to go public when an expected valuation of 10 billion to 12 billion the IPO could come as early as next month, with Goldman Sachs lined up to lead the offering. This is pretty major fam this was According to the Financial Times, this ain't no rumor. Citing people familiar with the matter. One source reportedly told FT Financial Times the deal is unlikely to price before January, meaning it's not price then. Founded in 2018, Clear street rose to prominence as dozens of public companies began adopting the crypto treasury playbook, raising capital through equity or debt markets and using the proceeds to buy large quantities of the bitty. The strategy was popularized by Mr. Sailor's strategy, which accumulated now officially 650,000 BTC through multiple stock and convertible offerings underwritten in part by Clear Street. I didn't know that. So apparently Clear street is a massive player here. The firm also served as an underwriter for Trump Media and Technology Group, which has signaled plans to raise billions to establish a Bitcoin treasury op operation of its own. And according to the website, Clear street has underwritten 91 billion in combined equity debt, mergers and acquisitions transactions just this year, including deals for well known crypto advocates Anthony Pompliano, Shout Out Pazano and former US Presidential candidate Vivic Ramps Awani. So yeah, again, a major player here. 700 plus employees worldwide 700 institutional clients 16 billion worth of customer balances notional 28 billion on the day she's Louise However, Clear Street's IPO ambitions come at a moment when the crypto treasury model that fueled its ascent is showing signs of strain, which we're witnessing in a market Bitcoin has fallen roughly 30% since early October, since hitting the all time high. While strategy share prices dropped 60% over the past six months, many smaller crypto treasury firms now trade at discounts to the value of the tokens they hold, cutting off their ability to issue new stock to buy more of the Bitty, the same mechanism that powered the model during the bull run. In a recent report, Galaxy Research said the bitcoin treasury companies are entering a Darwinian phase as the core mechanics of their once booming business model breakdown, quoting them here. For treasury companies whose equities have been serving as leveraged crypto trades, the shift has been intense, Galaxy said, adding that the same financial engineering that amplified the upside has magnified to the downside. And according to the financial times, roughly 316 companies have been listed in the U S this year, raising 63 billion, the highest total since 2021. And last month, Grayscale filed the S1 with the US SEC to list shares on the New York Stock Exchange, joining a growing wave of crypto companies going public this year. Also in September, crypto custody firm BITCO filed for U.S. listing. And during that same month, Gemini by the Winklevoss Twins made its NASDAQ debut three weeks after submitting its Form S1 to the SEC. The SEC won't let me be a let CZ free. Come on stack BTC. But yeah, there you go yo. I didn't realize that that institution was that dominant and had their hands in literally everything. So that's another major story. I'm happy to share that one with you guys. I call on the bitcoin going down. That is nothing but fud. Yeah, so we shall see. Extended cycle is my theory. I know you agree with that Oracle. The four year cycle as we know it is a thing of the past. That's the word on the street. You know, huddle and stack forever. That's right Jim. It's going up forever. Laura Western Union eyes inflation resistant stable cards as part of the stablecoin strategy. I'm sure you've heard of them before. They just unveiled plans to introduce a new stable card to protect users and high inflation economies as part of the stablecoin strategy. Interesting. A stable card for the stable coins. Speaking at the UBS Global Tech AI Conference, Chief Financial Officer Matthew Kagwin said the initiative builds on the company's investor day reveal that it's moving beyond traditional cross border payments into a multi pillar digital asset roadmap. Kagwin pointed to Argentina where annual inflation recently hit up to 300%, noting that remittances can lose nearly half their value in a month. Imagine a world where your family in the U S is sending you 500 home, but by the time you spend it in the next month it's only worth 300. Welcome to the Fiat apocalypse show we can see a good utility for our stable card there. There's an increment of our prepaid card we have today here in the U S. Cagwin also revealed Western Union's intention to issue its own coin. He said the company believes its distribution footprint across 200 countries gives it a natural advantage, especially in emerging markets where remittances form a significant share of the gdp. They say we think that we can make a market for our coin in those markets and we wanted to be able to control the economics, control the compliance and control the overall distribution. And another major part the company's digital asset strategy is the Digital Asset Network which links Western Union to a four on ramp off ramp providers the platform expected to go live first half of 2026 naturally because that must be a typo obviously we're already at the end of 2025 yo but JV recognizes the and calls them out get your together coin telegraph Anyways, Western Union has confirmed that its upcoming Stablecoin settlement system will be built on Salana, their blockchain. Now the system will center on the US Dollar payment token and a new digital asset network developed with Anchorage Digital bank, slated to launch first half of 2026 with distribution through the partner exchanges. Meanwhile, Western Union has also filed a trademark for their application, signaling plans for a suite of crypto services including a wallet, trading features and stablecoin payment processing. The filing has been accepted but not yet assigned to the examiner. So sign of the times. Western Union adopting crypto. Interesting, isn't it? Next story of the day. This is actually a very interesting one and this might blow some of your minds. 2000 Bitcoin on the move. Rare Cass Askius coins. And I'm probably butchering the pronunciation, but it's I've never heard of this word before, to be quite honest with you. But apparently it's a physical rare Bitcoin. Let me know if you've ever heard of these things. They are now awakened after 13 years of being dormant. Let's break her down. Two long dormant Cass coins. Should I just say kaka coins or something? Each backed by a thousand Bitcoin. So each coin is a th000 Bitcoin. That's insane. Have been activated as of Friday unlocking 179 million stashed away for more than 13 years. Nip anator. Where you been hiding these coins, bro? Onchain data indicates one of these coins was minted October of 2012. Bitcoin was trading at $11.69. The other was minted early December 2011 when Bitcoin was valid at only $3 and 88 cents.

Giving this coin a theoretical return of about 2.3 million percent gold bugs eat your heart out and that's not including the cost of the mining. These coins are physical metal coins or bars created by the Utah bas entrepreneur Mike Caldwell and they were minted in 2011 and 2013 13. Caldwell would take Bitcoin and mint it into physical coins and they're considered one of the most sought after physical collectibles related to bitcoin. And here's a post on it. These two coins containing a thousand of the biddy have just moved after being dormant for more than 13 years. And there's the proof of woof. Each one of these coins contains an embedded piece of paper with a digital bitcoin value and is covered in a tamper resistant hologram. This is like more rare than a Charizard Pokemon card. This is wild the coin. The coins and bars range from 1, 5, 10, 20, 500, 500 and a thousand Bitcoin dominations. However, Caldwell suspended his business after receiving a letter from FinCEN over concerns that he may have been operating a money transmitter business without a license. Now there's only 16 of a thousand BTC bars and 6 of the thousand bitcoins were ever made. And these are these particular katakata coins, according to some of the records. Let me know again if you guys even have ever heard of this. The first person to redeem the private key by lifting the holographic sticker will receive the full value of the coin. After this, the coin will no longer have any bitcoin value. However, redeeming this coin for its equivalent in bitcoin doesn't necessarily mean that a bunch of bitcoin is about to flood the market. For example, in July, a 100 bitcoin Casakia's coin owner John Gall, who had moved his stash from a physical coin to a hardware wallet, shared that he did so because his funds would be more easily accessible. He had no immediate plans to cash out. And this could be a similar scenario. Having 100 Bitcoin is life changing for anyone. But the thing is, I've had it for so long that this was more about staying safe than a studying league getting rich. But yeah, that's pretty wild, man. Imagine having a physical bitcoin that's worth a thousand bitcoins. Holy. I mean, holy schnikes. I mean, I would love one of those coins, Santa. I've been very good this year. I stream every day. Physically possible. Just saying I can use one of these, but yeah, it's pretty wild, bro. Nuts, I never even heard of these things. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Shout out. Tammy, I strike the gong for you. The invisible gong. Today, yeah, Trump was given a physical bitcoin. Okay, I'm not crazy. I do remember that. Now, I don't know if that's this coin because I. I highly doubt anyone would gift Trump a thousand of them, but there's literally physical bitcoins out there, you know, as rare as the Nipinator rare form Super Saiyan Ginsu being rare. Yes. David Bailey, CEO of the Bitcoin magazine, presented Trump with a physical one bitcoin. So that was that coin. The do I pronounce it? Kakas at the Bitcoin 2024 conference of Nash, which was later featured in a large audio thank you. Having an old school bitty coin would be better than having a Porsche Ferrar. Oh, 100% yeah. Because your Ferrari is not going up 2.3 million percent. Bitcoin's going up forever. Lore the do do do you know. But anyways, next story of the day. Keep the comments coming. I appreciate you guys. Next one strategy raised 1.44 billion war chest to dispel the FUD amid the crypto down cycle according to Fung Li. That's right. He said part of the reason for establishing the 1.44 billion USD reserve was to silence the critics or to alleviate investor concerns over the company's health amid the bitcoin slump. Quoting them here from a recent interview. We're very much a part of the crypto ecosystem and bitcoin ecosystem, which is why we decided a couple of weeks ago to start raising capital and put in the US dollars on the balance sheet getting rid of the fud. This is Matt Rogers from Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. Hey Bowen, it's gift season. Ugh. Stressing me out.

Can see here this afternoon, Fung Lee, CEO Strategy joined CNBC's Power Lunch to discuss how MSTR moves with the Bitcoin, how the US dollar reserve addresses the recent fudge shifting, the over 10 window key volatility drivers, why the bitcoin long term outlook remains strong. That's right. Now, on Monday, Strategy made that big announcement. We covered it on the pod and now apparently they have enough to last I'm hearing from anywhere from 18 to 24 months to cover dividends for their investors ultimately. So they are not forced to liquidate their precious little bitties and they currently have 650, 000 being the largest corporate holder in the world. The new raise comes amid concerns over whether Strategy would continue to service its its debts and dividend payment obligations should the stock price fall too far. And it's really this foot. According to their CEO, we weren't going to have an issue to be able to pay our dividends and we weren't likely going to have to tap into selling our bitcoin. But there was FUD and that was put out there that we wouldn't be able to meet our dividend obligations. There's a lot of rumors circulating. Absolutely. Which caused people to pile into the short bitcoin bet. Just remember, you can't short your dorks. We can't afford that. We just addressed that in the eight and a half days we raised. That's insane, by the way. In eight days they raised one and a half billion dollars. Only sailor bro, 21 months worth of dividend obligations confirmed. And we did it. One, to address the fud and two, to silence these critics or to show the people we're still able to raise money in a bitcoin down cycle. Yeah, don't ever doubt Sailor being able to raise money. He's been doing it effortlessly every week, whether he's buying new bitcoin or creating a war chest. And last week he said Strategy would only consider selling bitcoin if its stock fell below the net asset value and the company no longer had access to the fresh capital. The company also launched a bitcoin credit dashboard which claims it currently has enough assets to service dividends for more than 70 years. I'm going to repeat that. It claims it currently has enough assets to service dividends for more than 70 years. Take that, haters. I mean, that's the sailor man for you. But there you go. There's the latest from Mike. All right, fam. Now for our feature story of the day, Vanguard's Bitcoin and Ether embrace it's bigger than Black Rocks unlocking massive retirement flows according to the Glass Node co founders. That's right. Onchain analysts say Vanguard's decision to give clients access to spot bitties ether Solana XRP ETFs is creating a structural Peter shift that will reshape the long term crypto demand. Glass Nodes co founders who post on AX under the joint handle Nets and Tropic say that Vanguard's embrace of crypto is more significant than the Black Rocks landmark entry back on January 11, 2024. They say Vanguard controls the deepest, most persistent pool a passive retirement capital in the country. The firm leads IRAs 401ks Index Mutual Fund direct to consumer investing in passive long term savings across the middle class. In their view, the impact is structural with Vanguard shift essentially triggering automatic accumulation regardless of the short term price moves. Quoting them here, Vanguard embracing Bitcoin and ETH is bigger than Black Rock doing it earlier. Because Vanguard controls the deepest pool of the passive retirement capital. They go on to say this isn't speculative Money, it's automatic 401k contributions, target date flows and decade long rebalancing. Once Bitcoin enters those default allocations, the buy pressure becomes structural, price intensifies and relentless like the Nipinator indicator, the only Bitcoin indicator would 100 accuracy and yeah so Vanguard will allow Bitcoin and crypto link ETFs and mutual funds to trade on the platform. This was probably one of the biggest stories of the year, especially considering it's the second largest asset manager by assets under management in the entire world. Close to 10 trillion and just as big as BlackRock and they control so much capital and previously their CEO used to flood Bitcoin and then he got replaced and now they seem to be fully embracing it. And the bigger picture, they have 50 million clients which means 50 million clients will now soon get access to to these products, the ETPs, the Exchange Traded Products such as the Bitcoin ETF, the Ether ETFs and so forth. The decision follows growing demand and hence why they embraced it. Their customers, their clients, they want it otherwise they would have probably continued to fud it. For all we know Black Rocks iShares, the largest of those funds peaked near 100 billion in assets. And you know they're watching that like yo we got to tap into this piece of of the pie. A Bitcoin ETF lets investors gain exposure to Bitcoin without actually buying or storing or holding the crypto Instead, the fund holds the bitcoin while investors simply buy the shares, which we all know. And here was the big news. 11 oh, there were 11 trillion. Vanguard to finally allow clients access to Bitcoin ETFs. It's a done deal. And this news was actually broadcasted December 1st. And that's why we had such a big turnaround. Now don't you guys find it interesting? Think about this. We had these institutions for a long time. Vanguard was fighting bitcoin. Even Larry Fink and Black Rock used to fud bitcoin. Jamie Diamond, JP Morgan, you know, Epstein's banking cartel used to fud bitcoin. Bank of America, notorious for fudding bitcoin. All of them have come full circle and now fully embrace them. But you know what happened December 1st was bloodshed in the market. We kicked off December with a December. Then Vanguard makes the bombshell announcement. And the same day bank of America fully embraces bitcoin. Goldman Sachs, all these institutions and banks and then we start soaring again. So to me it seems like it's all by design. Like they do everything in their power to suppress the bitcoin price. Then all of a sudden they're all buying it when it's $80,000. Right after it was just 126,000 and they were talking. So this tells me it's a planned attack. You know, suppress the bitcoin price, manipulate the prices and acquire bitcoin at the lowest price as possible. Shake out the weak hands and take their bitties. That's why we say hollow be thy name. But let me know your thoughts. Welcome to the Q A segment of the live stream.

What a beautiful bitty high rise. 2024 Year of the Dragons.

Andrew Moyes
In Orlando meetings reach another level thanks to a growing list of award winning restaurants, a world class convention center, a great hotel community, easy access through the airport, and of course the weather. Andrew Moyes, VP of Fan Expo HQ had this to say about Orlando Often we will bring our entire team to Orlando for the event, and that includes our executive level team members as well. And we're able to give them a great experience with luxury hotels, special restaurants, all those key things to feed into the proper executive experience. Orlando's easy airport access and close proximity to hotels and transportation make it a top choice for hosting major events. And while you may know Orlando for its attractions, industries like healthcare, aerospace and advanced manufacturing make it a hub for cutting edge businesses. Or, in the words of Mr. Moyes, Orlando really can be that destination where you can innovate, collaborate and look to the future. And that's what makes Orlando unbelievably real.

Story:
JV on Collectibles:
(“This is like more rare than a Charizard Pokemon card. This is wild.”) ([20:45])
“Imagine having a physical bitcoin that’s worth a thousand bitcoins. Holy… I mean, holy schnikes.” ([21:42])
“Having an old school bitty coin would be better than having a Porsche or Ferrari. Oh, 100% yeah. Because your Ferrari is not going up 2.3 million percent. Bitcoin’s going up forever, Lore.” ([23:28])

Saylor/Strategy Resilience:
Raw, high-energy, irreverent, Bitcoin-maxi. JV blends market analysis with banter, plenty of shout-outs, and pop culture riffing (including a poetic dragon “ode” near the end).
This episode encapsulates a pivotal Bitcoin moment: the full embrace by the world’s two heavyweight asset managers, a new era for retirement flow into BTC, continued battles against FUD, and a nod to Bitcoin’s wild history and community mythology. Legacy finance is no longer just knocking, it’s moving in—and the “dragons” of Bitcoin are ready.
Best summary for a Bitcoin maximalist? “Hodl hard and never underestimate the power of the orange coin—the institutions can’t ignore it anymore, and neither should you.” ([34:44])
Listen in or read the news, but whatever you do—stack sats, stay sovereign, and watch the dragons roar.
