It's December 30, 2025 and two more days will be in 2026, 2025 flown right by. I'm your host JV by the way, alongside the co host, the Fed chair, the Nipinator, keeping them a nip and ating. Bitcoin did reclaim 88,000. So we are in the green on the day and I do got lots to share. So without further ado, let's dive right in and kick it off with our market watch. Pulling up coin360. As you can see here, the bulk of the market in the green like a bottle of listerine. Bitcoin up 0.8% on the day. Ether up 1.11 looking to reclaim 3G's XRP SOL be all in the green while XLM, Litecoin, Avax and Cardano are correcting. And in the red checking out coinmarketcap.com we're about to hit 3 trillion which is nice. It's currently 2.99 trillion to be precise. So we did get a 66% bounce on the day. As far as the bitcoin market cap, we've been pretty stagnant at this level at 1.76 trillion as of today. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. We got double zero up 6%, 5% TESL OSA 4% Telcoin up 3%. Very modest gainers as a lot of the alts are correcting today. And in the red checking out the Crypto Greed and Fear index. We've been stuck in the extreme fear region for quite some time, several weeks. It's very prolonged period, especially during our Q4 alleged bull run which has been very disappointing to say the least. We've been in the October, November, December and here we are. I can't wait to get to the Janu Bull, you know. But anyways, today 23 extreme fear. Last week was extreme fear last month at 28 in fear. Checking out the time chain calendar today's block height 93187 and you can exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 1134 SATS. We're still above 88. That's a good sign. Let's continue with our TA. We'll pull up some of the live charts. Do a little live chart action. Jackson, Satisfaction, Bo Jackson, Tony Braxton of course dedicated to the baddies. Looking at the one hour you're going to notice we have a red target sitting at 96. It's been here all week and we've been stagnant trading sideways even after the options expiry on Friday where everyone was anticipating a big breakout either to the upside or downside. Nope, nothing. Every time we hit 90 we just crack right back down to the range and then we have a bear scenario in the blue right off your screen sitting at 83. Let me know to what side you feel the breakout will be whenever we do move. Maybe you got to poke it with a stick or something, you know, move. Checking out the four hour we do got a red target at 96 as well. Three bear scenarios ranging from 84 all the way down to 80. Taking it a step further, checking out the daily the daily chart is in the green on the day, not too significant, maybe up a thousand or so from yesterday we did close in the red and like clockwork every time in the past couple weeks we hit 90. We insta correct which leads me to believe the price manipulation suppression happening in real time. Checking out the weekly I know it's only Tuesday here, so happy taco Tuesday. But on the weekly chart you also notice we haven't recovered after the forecast getting red candle closes we have had and that was the bulk in November was one of the worst Novembers we've had I think in seven years. Literally. Checking out the monthly you're going to notice we are barely in the red on the month. We still got a full day and a half left, you know to put a bow on it for the new year. But most likely we'll probably close in the red which means this is the worst fourth quarter performance on the year preceding the having in bitcoin history. We were all anticipating on average maybe a 70 gain over the course of these three months and we got the polar opposite pretty much. We went down maybe 35, 37% from the top of the 126 three achieved back on October 6th and we bottomed out at 80. If someone can run the math, you can tell me the exact percentage of the correction. But that's nothing. There's nothing new under the sun. And as Buddha once said, three things cannot be long hidden. The sun, the moon and the truth. And let's dive right into some Bullishness Next Bitcoin 2026 bull case yes please. Traders see strong signals for the six figure prelo biddy price action. No Diddy. That's right. The bitcoin dropped from the high of 90 reached Monday. Could be a classic cross Christmas bear trap. A bear trap is a false technical signal where the price briefly breaks below the key support level, triggering sell offs of the stop losses only to quickly reverse upwards trapping the bears in the losses. Bitcoin set in the Christmas bear trap which will be reversed in January like in the last four years. Again, there's nothing new under the sun. Checker here. Bitcoin new price performance from 2022 to 2025 let a rip Tater Chip Deja vu come into a theater near you. Looking at the most recent case, Bitcoin dropped 8 1/2% between December 26th and the 31st. That was 2024 before reversing with a 12% gain between January 1st and the 6th. Will history repeat is the question Analyst the Bitcoin therapist said the four year cycle is a broken Bitcoin may rise to a new all time high for the first quarter of 2026, setting up the greatest bear trap in history. I'm definitely leaning towards that scenario as well. Let me know if you agree. Disagree. Another analyst by the name of James Bull added the invalidation of the four year cycle could signal the end of the old retail driven boomba cycle amid the change in bitcoin market structure characterized by the growing institutional adoption in the NATOR indicator via the ETFs of the corporate treasuries. This coupled with a macro factor such as the rate cuts and liquidity may propel the prelo biddy to a new high in 2026. I think it'll happen just as in 2025 we did hit new all time high. We were in price discovery many times you know and to climb up to the 126. So I think everyone deserves to be connected. That's why T Mobile and US Cellular are joining forces. Switch to T Mobile and save up to 20% versus Verizon by getting built in benefits they leave out. Check the math@t mobile.com switch and now T mobile is in US cellular stores.

More time to do whatever you want. Instacart for one less Sunday. Scary. We're here. We're likely to continue that in the following year. Let me know your thoughts. I think we're going to keep breaking out in price discovery personally, but anyways. Another Analyst, Citigroup, set 12 month base case prediction for 143 driven mainly by the revived ETF demand with a bull case target of 189. Send it and regarding the spot Bitcoin ETF flows, James Bull said the outflows have significantly from the negative 1600 Bitcoin November 21st and are now going towards zero. The chart below shows that a similar scenario back in April proceeded a 33% price rally to 112 on May 22. Quoting the bull here, this isn't a guarantee for the biddy to go back to all time highs, but it is a strong signal. Get damn straight. Bitcoin selling pressure from the long term huddler showing signs of cooling off, reinforcing the potential for the January 2025 relief rally. Obviously it's a typo. They must mean 2026, 2025. January is in the past. Get your together. Coin Telegraph. You've been warned. Bitcoin consolidating within the symmetrical triangle on the daily chart as outlined here. The price needs to close above the upper trend line of the triangle, currently 90. That's what I've been referencing earlier. It's the line in the sand and every time we hit it we insta crack back down. But if we can break above it, then the next logical target would be around 107. Quoting another analyst here. If bitcoin pushes above that upper trend line holds above, we're likely looking at a bullish breakout to those higher resistance levels around 94, then back up to 106. Next story. Oh, Russia targets unregistered Crypto miners with new criminal drug trafficker penalties. That's right. Russia has proposed a new draft bill seeking a crackdown of the crackdown on the unregistered crypto miners of the country following concerns from the Finance Minister about illegal mining activity. And speaking of illegal, that's illegal. Russia's Ministry of Justice has proposed imposing penalties up to 1.5 million rubles, 19,000 USD and up to two years of forced labor for illegal crypto mining. And that's according to the new draft amendments to the Criminal code published on Monday. So if you don't register as a minor in Russia, that's illegal. Thank you, Dana. So for the crypto minor activities involving outsized profits, the maximum sentence could reach up to five years in prison, 480 hours of forced labor and a fine of up to 2.5 million rubles. Illegal crypto mining of an unregistered organized group has realized outside profits which could lead to fines. 2point yeah, the fines aren't so bad. It's the 5 years in prison that's the problem. Right now only 30 of miners are registered, which means most their mining is illegal. You know, the new draft bill signals government's latest effort to capture part of the revenue from a growing crypto mining industry of their country. Miners are required to fill out special monthly tax form and the amount of digital currency produced. But right now only about a third 30% of the crypto miners even registered. They're into legalize their mining operation. I wonder why so few. Quoting the general of the Deputy Finance Minister here. Our general approach when we introduced mining regulation into the industry was to bring the industry out of the shadows as much as possible. We have not yet completed the process. Miners with a monthly consumption of under 6000 kilowatts are considered physical persons and can mine without registration with federal tax register, but need to pay personal tax income on mine crypto. According to the decree published November 1 last year, currently or there were 1364 registered crypto miners in Russia. That was by the end of October, according to the Russia minister Finance Anton speaking as the plenary session of the State Duma. And then In August of 2024, Russian President Mr. Putin signed a set of laws providing a regulatory framework for crypto mining. Effective November 1, 2024, the draft imposed compulsory registration taxation forms for all entities engaging in mining, including infrastructure providers. The law also prohibits foreign entities from mining in Russia and allows the government to restrict mining in certain regions. A matter that spurred criticism for not fully legalizing crypto mining in the company. But apparently it doesn't seem to stop these illegal miners. But what are they thinking? I guess they got to risk it for the biscuit. But in this case, if they get caught, not only do you get hit with the fines, which to them I'm sure is probably not a big deal. But the five year prison sentence is no joke. So be careful out there in Russia, if you know what I'm saying. But there's the latest coming out of Russia. Here is the latest from Meta Planet the Japanese Strategy add in 450 million late December buys ending 2025 above 35,000 BTC, making them one of the largest corporate holders on the planet. That's right, Meta Planet at another 4,279 bitties at an acquisition cost of 450 million, bringing its total stack to 35 BTC worth roughly 3 billion in USD as the Tokyo listed firm lean harder into the hybrid model of the Bitcoin treasury and income business. In the Taco Tuesday filing today, the company reported revenue from his Bitcoin income generation business had overshot the previous forecast jump into 8.5 billion Japanese Yen which is 54 million USD for the year. The Meta Planet revenue is driven by option based strategies that turn its Bitcoin into reoccurring cash flow rather than a dormant volatile asset. These options based strategies use a separate pool of Bitcoin to sell options, earn premiums and cycle those trades while keeping the Meta Planet core long term bitcoin stash untouched. Can't touch this metaplan is income arm has expanded rapidly with a quarterly compounded growth rate of 57% since the fourth quarter of last year as revenue increased from roughly 4.3 million back in Q4 of 2024 to practically 27 million one year later. Q4 2025 and here's Meta Planet flexing on X Meta Planet acquires additional, you know 4279 of the BTC total holdings reached 35, 000, which is no joke. Obviously they're a major player in the game. The company playbook echoes the storyline of strategies hyperactive 2025 campaign as microstrategy or now strategy B closed out the year with another 1229 which we covered in yesterday's episode Strategy Framed as 2025 activity as part of the long term program to steadily add the biddy using a mix of the equity and the debt issuance while positioning Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset, demonstrating an operating model built around the Bitcoin denominated assets at a cash flow like a young cash's clay, stacking Bitcoin each and every day. Float like a butterfly, sting like a beef. Yes, rest in peace Muhammad Ali the shift comes with a harsh reality check Meta Planet market to the bitcoin net asset value, better known as the M nav. The ratio dropped below a 1 in October, meaning the company's equity was trading at a discount to the value of his bitcoin holdings. The filings also come amid the wider squeeze on the bitcoin treasury names facing the NAV discounts, the index pressure and in some cases outright delisting risk. Meta Planet said it is reviewing the impact of the bitcoin income generation results on its consolidated earnings forecast, planning to update guidance once the assessment is complete.

There were so many being birthday some of them they launched and just immediately dumped. One that comes to mind is. I think it's called Satoshi holdings or Nakamoto holdings. The one by Mr. Bailey, the Bitcoin magazine OG, you know, David Bailey. That's his name. And then of course we had the launch just recently. 21 Jack Mueller's company just went public. They're backed by Tether and Canter Fitzgerald. All the juggernauts in the game. They went public, they rang the bell to New York stock, you know, thingy Majiggy. And then they insta crashed, you know, the next day. But it's been a rough year. But I think that's due to the. Obviously. And there's been a lot of the ETF outflows in the fourth quarter which definitely sabotage our bull run in my humble opinion. Amongst other factors, Fudsters of course, orchestrated sell offs. The whales, market makers, manipulators, haters. Fudsters. All those guys, you know, are to blame. But here we are. A great buying opportunity. 88 even. Take it or leave it.

You know, it's very easy, you know. But anyways, let's continue to knock out some of the news here and then we'll get back to the comments. Next headline. Iranian protests over currency collapse shows why the Bitcoin is needed. Here's the latest from Hunter Horsley, the Bitwise CEO. Protests erupted across the Iran capital of Tehran on Monday as the rile hit. I guess that's their currency record lows against the US dollar, a currency collapse that locals blame on the central bank's poor fiscal policies. Let's just blame Jamie Damon as they watch the value of their life savings evaporate. And this one hits close to home because just because you see hyperinflation destroy currencies and other parts of the world doesn't mean that can't happen here. In fact, in my opinion, it's a precursor of what's about to happen to the dollar. That's why Nip andator has been doing standup specials called the Fed is Dead. We're trying to warn you. But anyways, while there's no single solution to the economic hardship that the Iranians are facing, Bitwise CEO suggests Bitcoin is a way for the people around the world to protect themselves from plunging currency values. And that's a great point, quoting them here. Economic mismanagement, the story of the past, present and future. Bitcoin is the new way for the people to protect themselves. It's like wearing the armor of Christ. Just stack the bitties. It's simple and plain. The Ryle has lost 40 of the purchasing power since the two week war with Israel back in June and is now at a record low of 1.4 million to the US dollar, according to the Financial Times. We had Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer for the Bitcoin focused Human Rights foundation, pointing out the official rate in the early 1980s was 70 per dollar. Now it's 1.4 million. The Central bank of Iran's Governor Muhammad has resigned amid the protest, adding further uncertainty to the country's future. So you gotta stack the biddies while you still can, fam. I mean, here's the post here. 1.42 million Ryle. If I'm pronouncing it right, it could be real per dollar. The official rate in the early 80s was 70 and it shows you here. Videos circulating social media. Hundreds of people taking part of the rallies after the Iran Ryle or real? I don't know, someone helped me with the pronunciation there. It's rial plunged to 1.42 million against the dollar. While crypto trading in Iran is permitted, rules around self custody and crypto are less clear. Bitcoin mining is heavily regulated. Vanek had a research. Matthew Siegel noted that the government had been dissuading locals from getting involved with bitcoin mining. Quoting them here. Worth recalling. Iran recently cracked down on unregistered bitcoin mining, even offering cash rewards for citizen to report their neighbors. Pretty up, right? Just as demand for store of value soared. It's because unfortunately the corrupt leaders in control want you to be poor. It's all by design, you know. Bitcoin is the escape valve and tickets to escape the matrix are priced in bitcoin. The do do truly diabolical policy sequencing. Who says bitcoin isn't a luxury good? The strict bitcoin mining rules have held Iranians back from capitalizing on incredibly cheap cheap electricity prices. I heard it's amongst the cheapest electricity in the world which would allow them to mine bitcoin. Wow. For 1300 per bitcoin, I mean imagine if they were just to set up shop here. They'd be killing the game. Mike Pompeo wrote it's no surprise people are Iran are taken to the streets. The protest, the collapse in economy. The Iranian regime has ruined what should be a vibrant prosperous country with extra some extremism and corruption. These people of Iran deserve a representative government that serves their interests, not those of the Molas and their cronies. And there you heard it first. Eight Iranian banks at risk of dissolution. So they're going under. Left, right, left, right, left. Iranian suffering under widespread sanctions imposed by the theocracy for its nuclear program supporting terrorist groups in the region losing significant access to international financial networks and the US dollar weakening the local banking sector. Back in October, the Iranian state lender bank Melly fell bankrupt putting the assets of more than 42 million Iranians into jeopardy. You know. And in February Iran central bank warned that eight other local banks risk dissolution under implement reforms if they are not reformed. We will move towards dissolution and merger. According to Iran Central Bank. To add insult to injury, Iranian crypto exchange Nabitex suffered an 81 million dollar hack back in June. The Iranian crypto fell 11% below then in July amid a series of conflicts with Israel. Just a sad story across the board and this is a reality for many countries across the world, especially impoverished countries with very poor leadership, corruption which is, you know, very rapid and yeah, just a dwindling fiat currency being devalued against other assets around the world. Very sad. I my heart goes out to the people out there experiencing this currency debasement and it's probably not even easy to buy bitcoin out there. I'm sure their corrupt government makes it as difficult as possible. They don't even want miners out there and meanwhile it's like the cheapest electricity in the grid over there in Iran. Meanwhile the Nipinator Lickinator staying true to the name licking Ayton Next Story of the day fam crypto ETPs exchange traded products shed 446 million over Christmas as the year end sentiment remains fragile. Like Peter Schiff, Crypto Exchange traded products recorded 446 million of net outflows just last week, extended a cautious trend persisting since the October sharp market correction. This is according to the asset manager Coinshares. The latest withdrawals bring the total outflow since October 10th.

This is volleyball like you've never seen before. Huge swings, massive blocks, jaw dropping digs. A sport where every play is a height highlight. League 1 volleyball returns January 7, 2026 with teams in Atlanta, Austin, Houston, Madison, Nebraska and Salt Lake. To buy tickets, visit lovb.com iheart to 3.2 billion and that day in particular was the biggest sell off, signaling investor confidence has yet to recover. As the year ends. The weekly outflows contrast with the year to date inflows of 46 billion, a figure broadly consistent with the 2024 levels. We have James Butterfill who said the total assets under management have risen just 10% year to date. He said this indicates that the average investor has not seen a positive outcome this year once the flows are taken into account. Flows also reveal a clear spit and investor behavior split. Bitcoin and Ether products continue to see sustained outflows, while newer XRP and Salana ETPs attract some fresh capital, highlighting a rotation rather than a wholesale exit. Now XRP and Salon ETFs defy the broader market. Caution data showed XRP and Solana ETPs posting the strongest inflows, attracting 70 million and 7 million. Data from Soso Value shows XRP ETFs have not recorded a single outflow day since they launched, while Solana ETFs have seen outflows on just three days. However, obviously when bitcoin is not doing anything, the alts really don't do anything either. So you guys should be praying for the success of bitcoin price discovery. Send it. Since their mid October ETF debuts of the US XRP products have attracted more than 1 billion and net inflows, defying the broader risk off sentiment weighing on the older crypto ETPs. Meanwhile Solana ETF saw 750 million of net inflows. On the other hand, Bitcoin products recorded a weekly outflow. So yeah, the reason we've been performing so bad in Q4, we've had nothing but outflows. And as long as there's institutional outflows versus inflows, it definitely tanks the price. The latest data suggests that the crypto capital remains engaged but increasingly selective as 2025 comes to a close. So rather than capitulation, the flows reflect the market that grew more discipline like a young Gohan, favoring targeted positions over the broad exposure. Outflows were broadly distributed across regions but heavily concentrated in the U.S. underscoring the cautious stance of American investors. Towards the end of the year coin shares showed 460 million a weekly outflows accounted for the vast majority of the global redemptions, reinforcing the trend of defensing positioning following the October price shock. And in Contrast Germany recorded 35 million worth of weekly inflows, bringing its month to date total to 248 million. The strongest amongst all regions. The continued buying suggests that the German investors are treating the recent price weakness as an opportunity to add exposure. Sounds like they learned their lesson with their government dumping bitcoin. I don't know. Bitcoin was like 40 grand and shortly after it exploded past 100 GS in the US or not US but the German government ended up losing 3/plus billion dollars in losses by selling their bitcoin being idiots. So now it seems their people are waking up to the fact that they need to hold this bitcoin for the long haul. It's a long term investment, you know, and right now it's in its adolescence stages of life. We're still early. Bitcoin market cap barely above 1.7 trillion. That's like a drop in the bucket with the total addressable market, you know, expanding over what, 900 trillion. We have the gold market cap, 32 trillion. Silver is up there as well. I think Bitcoin will single handedly take over the gold and Silver market cap, it's just that much more superior. It's digital. Nobody wants this old school money where you got to melt it down to even figure out if it's real. You know, at least with bitcoin, the transaction is the settlement and that's what makes it so phenomenal. You could trust it. The networks never went down, it's never been more secure. We have a difficulty adjustment scheduled to take place around January 7, which we discussed yesterday as well. Hash rate is doing just fantastic and as long as the hash is doing well, price follows hash as Max likes to to preach. So just a matter of time. I think bitcoin will catch up, destroy silver and gold I think into the new year. But yeah, every dog has its day. As to Nipinator as gold and silver both did pretty good this year, especially in comparison to bitcoin which has been stagnated and flooded out. And we're lower than we were a year ago. In a year that's supposed to have seen at least, you know, 70 gains, potentially hundreds of percent, maybe a thousand percent. 10x this mofo and let's go where no man has gone before, to the moon. Why not? All right, fam. Now for our feature story of the day. Let's discuss the latest and greatest from Max and Stacy as they're hosting a big event in just another week in El Salvador. The Max and Stacy invitation. And for those of you who listen to Max and Stacy and purchase bitcoin when they first mentioned it for the first time in history on international television via the Kaiser report, you're now up 89 million percent. And don't take my word for it, here's the proof of work. Here's a video clip from back in December, Bitcoin was trading at 23 cents. December of 2010. This is Stacy Herbert first discussing Bitcoin ever on TV 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. Amen to that and kudos to Max and Stacy. So here's the proof of work again, exactly 15 years ago today, this was actually on Christmas Day. Max became the first TV journalist ever to cover bitcoin. It's Max and Stacy via this episode. Everyone who bought bitcoin back then is now up 89 million percent, which is mind boggling. So let's revisit history in the making. Renewed interest in Max was sparked by an archived episode of the Kaiser Report. This was back December 22nd of 2010. Back then, Bitcoin was known to very few and remained the topic of a narrow circle of enthusiasts virtually invisible to the mainstream audiences as well as traditional media. During the broadcast, bitcoin was presented as an alternative to traditional financial systems in a form of digital gold. Max discusses potential and independent money with a limited supply. Ideas that would later become central to the bitcoin narrative. And with bitcoin price at just a few dozen cents, such statements sounded more like, you know, a pie in the sky than a serious financial forecast. And Max, I believe, was the very first one to predict the Bitcoin hit 100,000 back then as well. Now, 15 years later, has become clear that the host's words were in many ways prophetic, to say the least. Bitcoin has evolved from a niche asset into a global financial phenomena discussed by governments including President Trump, banks and the world's largest investment funds, including Black Rock, Larry Fink. Go home, get shine box bro. But for Max himself, the story also marked a turning point. So let's dive a little deeper into who's Max. He is an American journalist, TV host, also a comedian. There's an old clip back I used to share on X of Jerry Seinfeld. That's right, the comedian Jerry Seinfeld introducing Max doing stand up in New York. Also a TV host, media personality known for sharp criticism and basically eviscerating the central bankers. J.P. morgan, Jamie Dimon, Christine Lagad, and all the classics. Ms. Yellen. He gained public recognition long before bitcoin emerged and as the creator of the host of economic shows in which he regularly attacked the banks and Wall street, accusing them of injustice, manipulation. So, yeah, he's been preaching the truth for decades while the mainstream's been fudding you. In fact, kudos to Traders Union here for featuring my posts on their article. You can see bitcoin news alerts. Let's get it. Kaiser achieved his greatest prominence via the Kaiser Report, my personal favorite financial TV show to ever exist, which he co hosted with his beautiful wife, Stacy Herbert. The program combined financial analysis, satire, provocative performances. Guys, thanks for helping me carry my Christmas tree. Zoe. This Thing weighs a ton. Drewski, live with your legs, man. Santa.

His emotional, abrasive, often flamboyant style made him a recognizable fig to audiences with little interest in finance. Hands down, my favorite show of all time. Here's my throwback post. While the entire mainstream was fudding bitcoin, it was only Max and Stacy via the Kaiser report telling you the truth. And with the arrival of bitcoin, Kaiser found a subject that perfectly aligned with his worldview. Obviously, Bitcoin became not just financial instrument, but a logical extension of his long standing fight against the fiat corrupt system. And over time, Bitcoin transformed Kaiser from a television critic of finance into one of the most recognizable bitcoin maxis. And also he is the bitcoin advisor to President Buchelle. And Stacy Herbert is the director of the bitcoin office. So naturally they're doing big things out there over time. Max's role in the bitcoin narrative extended far beyond the media. After El Salvador became the first country in the world to recognize bitcoin as legal tender. Thanks to Bukele, Kaiser emerged as one of the most visible public supporters of President Bukele's bitcoin agenda. And gradually he moved from commentator and promoter to someone involved in shaping real world policy around bitcoin. And I would definitely consider Max and Stacy. What's the word where you bring people to El Salvador? What's that relationship? I don't know the, the, the term. Oh ambassador. But absolutely they're amongst the biggest ambassadors for El Salvador. Kaiser and Stacy became closely associated with El Salvador's bitcoin initiatives. Their public rhetoric centered on the idea the country was becoming a showcase for the bitcoin future. That adopt in bitcoin at the state level offered a way to break free from dependence on the fiat system and external financial centers. Here's a post from max back in 2023. February 3, 2022. First time we met President Bukele at the new library ground and by the way, the most incredible impressive library I've ever visited. He is a huge Max and Stacy Kaiser report fan. Suggested we do a show from El Salvador that is the start of a beautiful relationship and naturally the rest is history. A key milestone was the creation of El Salvador's national Bitcoin office. An institution designed to systematize and promote state led initiatives in the area. And against this backdrop, Kaiser came to be seen not merely as a media maxi, but as an advisor and public ambassador. Exactly. Of the Bukele bitcoin course alongside Stacy Herbert. What Max believes his public stance is hardline and bitcoin maximalism. Which he demonstrates not only through words but also through his actions. He consistently argues Bitcoin is not just an investment asset, but a new monetary system capable of eventually displacing fiat money. Kaiser has emphasized his attitude towards traditional finance through demonstrative gestures as well as the notorious scene of him ripping up the dollar bills. He says all fiat is going to zero against the btc. And he just made this post showing some of his 2025 highlights I think is worthy to share. Bought three white suits. Suits. I'm jealous. I didn't get any new white suits this year, but now I gotta get some. Launched the Max and Stacy golf which is the big event we will be at here next week the Max and Stacy Invitational. Also open La Cajita kitchen which is the home of the Coco Max organized the express there bought five properties in El Salvador. Look at that. Invented the Coco Max the drink that made El Salvador famous. Can't wait. Sipping on a Coco Max spoke at the bitcoin historical event which they hosted. Sent love vibes to Stacy every day and met with the president six times. So naturally he's good friends with Bukele. He also added also did an amazing 90 minute talk with Rusty Rockets on God that's Russell Brand. Religion, faith, the bible, the white paper aa alcohol is anonymous. Jesus and Bitcoin at El Salvador's National Theater. This was the kind the chat mainstream media featured for years before the corporate capture so obviously doing some big things but and there's other stories I can dive into here he does project for the New Year GDP of El Salvador to exceed 10% in 2026amongst some other forecasts including 2.2 million per bitty coin. So here are some of the 2026 El Salvador predictions. I guess I'll read them to you here. GDP tops 10% bitcoin reserve tops 1.5 billion. Tourism top 6 million visitors homicide rates dropped to near zero. Reverse migration 500000 return 50 new hotels, 500 new lux residential towers and the Coco Max name the national drink. And there's the the man, the myth, the legend himself, Najib Bukele. Then of course Sergio had to add the new soccer stadium. Yeah, they're doing so many big things, it's awesome. But what are your thoughts? Can you see Bitcoin hitting 2.2 million? Let me know. Yay or nay. Holler at your boy. And welcome everyone to the Q A segment of the live stream.
