We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market. All this plus so much more right here. SAS sagging Monday. Today is episode number 2200 and 9. I'm your host, JV. It's December 29, 2025, just a few days away from the new year and naturally there's lots happening in the market. So let's break it down starting with our market watch. As you can see on the screen you got bitcoin in the red today but barely. We're maintaining above 875. We recaptured 90 last night and instantly corrected right back down three grand to the range we're at now sitting above 87,000. Orchestrated sell offs you already know ether in the red bulk of the market correcting and in the red on the day checking out coinmarketcap.com total crypto market cap down 7% on the day sitting at 2.95 trillion. Bitcoin market cap $1.745 trillion. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. We got AA up 30%, midnight up 12% and story up just under 5%. Very modest gains of the bulk of the market is correcting and in the red as you can see on your screen. Checking out the crypto good and fear index. Same as Yesterday, today we're at 24 extreme fear last week 25 last month of 28 in fear. Checking out the time chain calendar. We did surpass A block 930,000 here recently. Today we're at 936. As you know, Tik Tok next block approximately every 10 minutes. With the next haven scheduled to take place around April of 2028. And as of today, December 29, 2025, you can exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 1142 sets. But I guess we'll dive right in. Next we'll do a little live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction AKA astrology for the broskis and shout out to the baddies. Here you're looking at a one hour chart. You got a red target sitting at 96,300. You got a bear target in the blue sitting at 83,100. We've had nothing but sideways action. Every time we get a breakout we insta correct. As you can see directly in this chart. Notice the big breakout last night. How many candles? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8 Green Consecutive candles bullish. And then boom boom boom boom boom. Drop right back where we left off. And now we continue to trade sideways which just tells me this Is a manipulation going on for sure. Checking out the four hour you're going to notice a lot of of things happening here. But we'll pay attention to the fact again. Every time we rise, we correct right back down. We rise again, we crack back down, we trade sideways, we have a rising wedge, we correct back down and we continue to trade sideways. You do have a red target very similar to the 1 hour on the 4 hours and at 96 which would take us right back striking distance to that 100k psychological resistance. And then you have the three bear scenarios hovering from 80,000 to 84 GS. Working our way back on the daily here you're going to notice a red candle on the day yesterday we had a itty bitty it looks like barely in the green candle and then the day before barely in the green. Then a couple days prior barely in the red. And it's just been very boring. And this is with the Options expiry of 60 billion expired on Friday. So we're a lot of us anticipating some form of a breakout but we're still stuck in the same range. Ironic enough checking out the weekly you're going to notice more sideways trading action. We're below the moving averages here. There is a rising wedge. Overall we're significantly blow sin at 87. We did bottom out at 80,000 a few weeks ago. The current firmament is still 126. Three achieved achieved October 6th. So quite the volatility. Checking out the monthly we had a hell of a October. Had a hell of a November. The worst November in seven years. Over 20,000 shed on the market and then this month as well is in the red. Unless we get a big turnaround the next couple of days we're likely to close in the red which is ironic as well because historically year perceiving the having Q4 historically 70 gains this year we got 30 to 40% losses you know. But there's the latest there and diving a little deeper this headline Bitcoin price pauses and 90 GS what will trigger the new year rally? Let's discuss it. Bitcoin's apparent demand has flipped negative after falling to the lowest level level since October as traders and investors adopted the risk off approach into the new year. Capriole Investments Bitcoin apparent demand metric reveals that the demand for Bitcoin was dropped shortly over the last two weeks. Bitcoin's apparent demand has been positive since November 6th peaking at 18700 Bitcoin November 26th before reversing sharply as shown in this chart, the negative value suggests a declining demand. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index, which measures the difference in pricing between the Bitcoin USD pair on the larger exchanges. For example Coinbase and Binance have also dropped sharply over the past couple of weeks. This chart shows that the index has tanked to the current value of 08 from 031 on December 11th. The Coinbase Premium indicates demand for the US retail and a negative value indicates just more selling pressure. An analyst points out the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index is still printing deep red bars signaling the US selling pressure hasn't lifted yet until this metric recovers. Approaching the long side reverse requires extreme caution. Now spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to bleed, recording 782 million of outflows. An increase in demand side pressure reinforced by return to the spot ETF inflows is required for a sustained rally in 2026. So yeah, we got to reclaim 90,000 and we keep doing it. But again it shows there's manipulation of the market because every single time we've been hitting that in the past couple of weeks, which is several times we insta correct right back down and there's massive sell offs across, you know, the exchanges. Here it shows you since the price is still holding support at 84, momentum should start to return once the Bulls reclaim the 90 the 92 zone. So that's the line in the sand. Zooming out, we have analyst Jelly who suggests Bitcoin needs to end the month in the green to lock in close above 90,360 and we're golden. That's roughly 3,000 below the current price action. Another analyst points out if this breakout is successful, January could be a bullish month.

Which leads to this question. Do you think Q1, especially January 1st month of the year, will be bullish and we'll get a green candle close for the first time of the past four months. Let me know your thoughts and next up we'll discuss the latest with Strategy reloaded on another 1229 Bitcoin buy for 109 million and we'll continue with the headlines. And again, welcome those just tuning in. Shout out Sweet Bitty on the Jammy Jams. That one is Frost, the Bitcoin Empress. Next headline fam here's the latest from Michael Sailor Strategy posted on X Along with Michael Sailor, they Both posted strategy acquired 1,229 BTC for 108.8 million at $88,568 per Bitcoin, achieving a Bitcoin yield of 23.2% year to date 2025 and as of December 28th we huddle now. 672497 Bitcoin acquired for $50.44 billion at an average price of 74,997 per coin. So yeah, 75,000 is their average buy price and they continue to stack as they're the largest corporate holder in the world. So yeah, Strategy's largest public publicly traded company with Bitcoin on the balance sheet Resume purchases notice. Last week they announced a massive purchase, but that was for their cash war chest, you know, to pay the dividends to their investors. This week they switched it back to purchasing Bitcoin. Specifically, as I mentioned, the company just acquired another 1229 bitcoins for 108 million at an average of 88, 000 per coin. Buying the diploma and Sailor just announced this here this morning. So yeah, the acquisitions were funded through the sale of 108 million of the class A common stock. Hence why he is always going to be the Bitcoin alchemist. MSTR shares were down 1% pre market trading at 157 per share while Bitcoin slipped to around 87,000. And speaking of Sailor, let's go to his wall right here, see what he has to share. Here's a throwback from 2020, the same year he adopted Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a SW form of cyber hornets serving the Goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing even smarter, faster and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy. And here's yesterday, the precursor back to orange every single time he posts that the following day is a big announcement and nothing different here. Only Bitcoin the BTC for the Gigachad this holiday season. Give your family the knowledge of digital credit. Here's their effective yield strd13, strc11 strk10 and strf9%. Let me know if you have any exposure to any of these particular products. And Merry Christmas. Tall the Hodlers out there. I have no doubt Sailor will continue to mass smash buy throughout the year of 2026. His personal objective for his company is to hold seven and a half percent of the Bitcoin supply. And he'll probably do it in my humble opinion, especially at the way he's been accumulating putting his money where his mouth is. But you let me know your thoughts. But there's the latest from Mr. Sailor. Next story we got the latest from Sailor with the strategy purchase next. I know it's on everyone's mind right now. Silver Precious metals been making a run silver's while 6% price spike and the 10 plunge mirroring the crypto volatility, the price of silver continues to notch new highs amid the precious metal market boom with the asset trading in very crypto like fashion over the weekend with sharp volatility, silver hit a new all time high, roughly 84 bucks yesterday Sunday with demand for gold also driving the price up to new heights of around $4530. Meanwhile the crypto market continues to stutter as highlighted on a post here by the Kabisi Letter, Silver saw extreme volatility over the weekend spike in 6% then dump in 10% in all of a span of an hour. Quoting them here. Absolute insanity in silver right now at 6:20pm Eastern 20 minutes after futures open, silver prices surged to a record high of 83.75 up another 6% and by 7:30 silver prices fell to a low of $75, a race in 10% of its value in 70 minutes. Again, seems like total market manipulation here. While precious metals like silver and gold are generally thought to have more stable prices, silver is the more volatile of the two. Well naturally, typically whatever has the lower market cap, you know, gold being significantly higher. But with the new U S Fed Chair set to take over J pal in 2026, there's expectations of a major interest rate cut under a less less har hawkish more President Trump align chair hence we got the Fed chair Niponator the true chairman. Lower rates indicate lower returns from investments and bonds investors then more likely to pile into commodities such as gold and silver. Alongside this demand for silver is also bolstered by its industrial use to make a wide range of products and is part of the debasement trade which refers to faltering long term confidence and the US dollar due to the monetary inflation. And while silver and gold are pumping partly on the back of the anticipated rate cuts, Bitcoin and the crypto market have been flat this month of December. Bitcoin down half percent over the past 30 days and at now less than 90 000. We were 90, 000 last night but we're currently 87 five at a time at a live it's been a tough year overall and despite surging to the 126 current all time high which was 10/6 right, Bitcoin now needs a six and a half percent pump to close the year in the green and we got two more days left to pump it up and naturally if we close in the red, that'll be three consecutive red candle monthly closes leading into the new year and Q1 right around the corner three days away. Next story headline crypto heavyweights land proposed 5% wealth tax in California it just seems California loves their taxes, don't they? A proposed 5% tax on billionaires wealth in Cali has drawn a strong response from crypto execs who argue it would trigger an exodus of entrepreneurs and capital flight and would be wasted anyway. And I haven't even read the 411 yet, but that's the same thing that comes to my mind. There's only like 2,500ish billionaires in the world, however many happen to be in California. I could pretty much guarantee you if you try to tax them an additional 5% just specifically for billionaires, they're gonna leave as Joe Rogan. But anyways, the ballot initiative known as the 2026 Billionaire Tax act proposes a 5% tax on net net wealth above 1 billion to help fund the health care system and state assistance programs, according to the SEIU UnitedHealthcare Workers west union. As a proposed wealth tax assistant partly assessed against unrealized gains, some billionaires may need to sell stock or part of their business to raise funds to pay the tax, which would either be payable in one installment or for five years with interest. The SEIU United Healthcare Union submitted the paperwork to place the Billionaire Tax act on the November 2026 general election ballot. Senior figures of the industry, including Bit Y CEO Hunt Hunter Horsley Crack and co founder Jesse Powell, argue the measure would only result in billionaires leaving the state with a negative overall effect. And my sentiment exactly they say. I promise you this will be the final straw. Billionaires will make with them all they're spending or take with them hobbies, philanthropy, the jobs solve the waste fraud issues.

Of the key defenders of the proposal is US Representative Ro Khanna, crypto friendly Democrat from Cali's 17th congressional district. He made the case for the tax in a series of posts arguing it would fund better child care, housing and education, which in turn will be good for American innovation. And here's his thesis on his post in response to Desantis. Desantis wrote taxing unrealized gains at 5% will obviously backfire. So of course California will probably go through with it. Maybe that means more people will relocate to Florida Now Castle Island Ventures guy Nick Carter and some others speculated the tax would prompt billionaires to move all their capital out of the state. Exactly, he wrote. I generally like Row and have interacted with some of the staff who have always been fantastic. But I do wonder, have they, you know, done analysis of capital mobility in response to the wealth taxes? It seems to me the capital is more mobile than ever and onetime wealth taxes are a signal to capital like sovereign default, that more can be expected in the future. That's right. You can't trust the government now. The co founder and CEO, the onchain data platform dude argued Norway had tried a similar tax, resulting in a mass exodus of the wealthy from the Nordic country, raising less money than expected. And that's precisely what would happen in Cali, I would assume as well. Friendly reminder to California, taxes on unrealized capital gains have led to more than half of the wealth held by Norway's top 400 taxpayers moving abroad. Norway has become more equal and made everybody poorer and worse off, just as expected from strong socialist ideas. So yeah, money might not reach those intended targets. Just because they have a plan doesn't mean the plan would be executed accordingly. And then they got to consider the factors we just discussed by the experts and probably be a mass exodus. No one trying to pay 5% in unrealized gains, especially billionaires. You know, billionaires got to the billion dollar bracket by paying very little taxes. You think they want to pay their wealth to government for whatever health care, which shouldn't be in control of the government to begin with? I think not. But put yourself in those shoes. What would you do? Let's hypothetically say you're worth a billion today. Let's say it's in bitcoin. And then your governor proposes 5% unrealized gains tax for the wealthy. What do you do? Do you get the out of Dodge or do you stay? Holler and let me know. Read your comments out loud. Next story Regarding the bitcoin mining difficulty. It records its last adjustment of the year with a forecast arise soon in January. That's right, the bitcoin network mining difficulty, the relative computing challenge of adding a new block to the ledger increased slightly to 148.2 trillion in its last adjustment of the year and is projected to rise again right around the corner in January. The next bitcoin adjustment is projected to occur January 8, roughly a week at block height 931,392 expected to raise the network mining difficulty to 149 trillion. According to Coin wars, average block times right now are just under 10 minutes at this time, meaning that difficulty will likely increase to get the block times closer to the target. And you can see that chart right here. Mining difficulty reached new all time highs this year, recording two sharp rises in September during the bitcoin uptrend before the price collapsed in October's historic market crash. Rising mining difficulty means the miners will have to expand to more computing and energy resources to remain competitive, adding to the list of burdens operators and capital intensive sector face. Difficulty Adjustment projects Network Decentralization and Bitcoin Price the Bitcoin network mining difficulty ensures that blocks are not mined too quickly or too slowly by adjusting the relative challenge of successfully mining blocks and adding the blocks to the decentralized monetary ledger. Difficulty adjusts every 2016 blocks, which is roughly every two weeks in response to the average block time. So if miners are finding that adding blocks are too quickly, the difficulty adjust up to keep the target as close to 10 minutes as possible and vice versa. This dynamic difficulty adjustment ensures no single miner can take control of the network by suddenly energizing more mining rigs or adding a disproportionate amount of computing power to the network in a short period, keeping the network sufficiently decentralized. A 51% attack can occur if a single miner or a group a minor collude to control the majority of the network computing power, leading to centralization, double spending and a collapse of the Bitcoin core value proposition which would significantly impact the asset's price. Now, Even if no 51% attack occurs, a miner with vast computing resources could continue to mine blocks at an accelerated pace, collecting all the block rewards and dumping the bitcoin on the market, introducing strong selling pressure that would depress the bitcoin price dynamically adjusting the mining difficulty to the proportional to the total amount of computing resources deployed on the network keeps the protocol decentralized and protects the bitcoin price by ensuring a steady supply schedule. So again, January 8th expect the next bitcoin difficulty adjustment right around the corner. The first one of the year. Now for our feature Story of the day Headline reads Bitcoin price will surge to a million per coin by 2033. According to this Investor predictions claim it'll beat the S P500 in 2026. So yeah, prominent investors are reinforcing the long term forecast. This is Bitcoin reaching the coveted seven figure mark. Prediction market show traders increasingly believe Bitcoin outperforming gold. That's right, and the S&P 500 as early as 2026. Despite the bullish long term sentiment, analysts warn that the weekend technical indicators could expose Bitcoin to further downside first. So let me know if you think the bottom is in at 80 G's. Yay or nay. The bitcoin bulls are growing increasingly vocal. That's right, with investors and traders betting crypto outperform traditional assets both in the near term and over the next decade, as it's been doing pretty flawlessly over the past 16 years. Now that long conviction was underscored Christmas Day when investor Mike Alfred posted on X he was staking both his reputation and his holdings on the asset's future. So here we here we go. Mike Alfred, the well known investor recognized for his long standing bullish stance on Bitcoin, went further than usual in a Christmas Day post. Rather than simply sharing the forecast, Alfred said he would sell his entire Bitcoin portfolio portfolio and delete his X account if Bitcoin's price did not reach 1 million per coin by December 31, 2033. It kind of has those McAfee vibes. Remember, if Bitcoin doesn't hit a million by XYZ date, I shall eat my gonads on live television. I know I'm paraphrasing. Rest in peace John. But back back to Mike Alfred. You only live once and I think it's important to take a stand, believe in something and put your money where your mouth is to Silver this week, some investors are putting their money where their mouth is. Days later, Alfred reiterated his optimism, arguing that much of the recent selling pressure had already played out. In the December 27 post, he claimed traders he described as the worst he knows had shifted into silver, selling their bitcoin positions, quoting them here. What happens next will be obvious to anyone who isn't a vegetable.

Alfred's comments align with the broader wave of the optimistic bitcoin price predictions from prominent figures in the industry. For example, we got fun strats Tom Lee who repeatedly projected Bitcoin hitting 600 or sorry, 200,000 over the long term, citing easing financial conditions and the growing demand as key drivers. We also have the gigachad Mr. Sailor who has been predicting bitcoin exceeding a million. We got Samson Mao, Jan3 founder, also supported the 1 million Bitcoin thesis, quoting Samson since getting into bitcoin, what I've consistently found is that everything always happens faster than I expect. And while Mao has said in his internal models pointing to bitcoin reaching a million by 2031, he also suggested the milestone could arrive sooner. In fact, he says it could happen this cycle. Also, the bullish sentiment is not limited to the long term predictions on poly Market traders are placing real money bets that bitcoin will outperform traditional assets as early as 2026. Current odds get Bitcoin roughly a 40 chance. So you're saying there's a chance of outperforming both gold and the S P500 that year? Let me know if you agree or disagree with that bet. By comparison, traders assign a 32% chance to gold and a 27 chance of the S and P, so the odds are on the biddy. However, not all indicators support a bullish outlook in the near term. Some of the technical TA says other otherwise According to the analysts here on the weekly chart, bitcoin structure has weakened, making a near term recovery less straightforward. And here you can see the macd, which is the moving average convergence divergence printing a bearer crossover on the higher time frame. That crossover reinforces the view that the selling pressure is gaining traction. So a bitcoin trading below the former support zone, he notes. A rebound could struggle to gain momentum and retest the resistance near 96 700, which may prove difficult and failure to reclaim that level could expose the market to deeper losses as these shares here. If buyers fail to reclaim that area, the downside risk increases with 78, $596 emerging as the next key support zone. Now, a strong resurgence in demand, particularly if accompanied by the higher trading volumes, would invalidate the bearish breakdown quoting them here, a surge in demand backed by more substantial volume curry open the path towards a hundred thousand the psychological level. Now naturally there's analysts who are bearish suggesting that the bull is over and that 2026 and 2027 is going to be pure winter before the 2028 having when the bull season would return. That's what history shows us. However if you just look at outliers and factors that were non existent previous cycles such as the institutions joining which was January of 2024, this cycle is different. It's not driven by retail at all. All the previous cycles were purely driven by retail, never institutions. Institutions joined the party here this cycle. So a lot of people are anticipating extended cycle theory as bitcoin did not perform as we historically would the year preceding the having. In fact we closed negative this year which might be the first time ever the year after a having. Typically it's the year the having it's green bull and then the year preceding the having is the biggest green bull run we ever see of the four year cycle being. It's different. Are you a believer in the extended cycle theory? I know I am. I'm leaning 80% probability that we continue breaking out into new all time highs in 2026. Potentially even 2027 leading into the next having a 2028 my bear scenario. I'm sticking with it. 222,000 this cycle before 2028. Base case 420 for the bros bull scenario. 1.1 million per coin. You know Omega candle. Send it but let me know your thoughts. Where do you think the price action will take us? Do you think extended cycle is in play for 2026 or do you think the bull is over? Either way, holla at your boy and welcome everyone to the Q A segment of the live stream.

Big bad wolf who? Oh no, he's gone cuz the he was the pawn. Sorry I'm Big D. We're built tougher than bricks. Ready and coming at him. We're strategic and steady. No rush. Fifth level. Ready. 80 G's on our way to one mil. The name of the game is hodl. Take an orange pill like a squirrel. We hodl, we store peanut. You got a twisted deal. We're gonna hodl more in memory of you. Nipsy will too. AVGs is exciting now, but a future memory. It's a USA saving T pump moment in bitcoin history. Bitcoin is going up forever. That's no mystery. This roller coaster ride is not for the weak. But it is exhilarating. Built for prosperity, not misery. Bitcoin price discovery is in play. Higher numbers are on the way. Just do your best. It is not too late. You will be blessed. Have a little faith. Leave the rest to satoshi and God. Think of Moses and the rod. Think of Satoshi and free and Ross. Bitcoin doesn't have to be a future loss. Bitcoin doesn't have to be a future loss. You can lead a horse to the water, but you can't make it drink.

Episode Title: Strategy Reloads on Bitcoin as $1M Price Path Takes Shape
Date: December 29, 2025
Host: JV (Bitcoin News Alerts)
Main Theme:
This episode delivers an in-depth, real-time analysis of Bitcoin’s current market dynamics as 2025 ends. JV breaks down institutional strategy, Bitcoin price action, market psychology, regulatory moves, mining fundamentals, and headline predictions for both 2026 and the long-term—culminating in a lively, bullish, and irreverent Q&A segment.
“Every time we get a breakout, we insta correct... Just tells me this is manipulation going on for sure.”
— JV (04:25)
“Only Bitcoin—the BTC for the GigaChad this holiday season. Give your family the knowledge of digital credit.”
— JV quoting Michael Saylor (13:10)
“You think [billionaires] want to pay their wealth to government for whatever health care, which shouldn't be in control of the government to begin with? I think not.”
— JV (19:08)
“Difficulty adjusts every 2016 blocks... if miners are finding blocks too quickly, the difficulty adjusts up to keep the target as close to 10 minutes as possible and vice versa. This dynamic difficulty adjustment ensures no single miner can take control.”
— JV (21:23)
“You only live once. Take a stand, believe in something, and put your money where your mouth is.”
— Mike Alfred, cited by JV (24:16)“Everything always happens faster than I expect… this cycle is genuinely different.”
— Samson Mow, cited by JV (29:39)“This time is different. Are you a believer in the extended cycle theory? I know I am…”
