World'S most notorious bitcoin hacker is now out of prison and he's going to continue doing cybersecurity. Does anyone else find that a little odd? Let me know. The First Step act, passed in 2018, expanded eligibility for sentence reductions through earned time credits and other rehabilitation measures. Lichtenstein was sentenced in November of 2024 after pleading guilty to money laundering conspiracy tied to the 2016 hack of the Bitfinex in which nearly 120,000 bitcoin were stolen. Well over a billion dollars of today's prices. Lichtenstein's beautiful wife Heather Morgan. She's hilarious by the way, also acknowledged the news, posting a photo of the couple and calling it the best New Year's present after years of separation. Morgan, who performed under the infamous name Razzle Khan, one of the greatest female rappers ever exists, was charged for helping launder the stolen funds, received an 18 month sentence and announced her own early release in October. This is kind of reminiscent of Bankman Freed and Caroline Ellison, as Caroline Ellison has now been released from prison. But Bankman Freed remains in prison and probably will most likely get pardoned by Trump. Uh, I hope not, but that seems like what Trump would do considering he's letting everyone else off the hook and these are people who pleaded guilty. You know, he's only served one year. Uh, I thought he was gonna be in prison for the rest of his life. Apparently not. Not with the Trumpster, you know. Lichtenstein and Morgan were arrested in 2020, two years after the hack, following a Sweepin federal investigation that ultimately led the seizure of of a significant portion of the stolen bitcoin. Their case later become subject to Netflix documentary. I actually watched one of them. It was pretty informing. Like, it's hilarious, I should say. Razzle Khan is one of the most hilarious personalities I've ever seen, hands down. But after being sentenced to five years in prison, Lichtenstein confessed the hack and Bitfinex in 2016 laundering thousands of bitcoin, but suggested he wanted to shoulder the entirety of the blame rather than his wife. My wife has no way involved in the hack. She didn't even know about it for years. What a gentleman. And though there were many victims of the Bitfinex act, the exchange may only be a part of the qualify for reimbursement. According to the 2024 court filing, US government had asked victims of the 2016 hack to submit impact statements by November. And it just goes to show you, we have a pretty fucked up judicial system. I don't wish anyone, you know, go to prison unless they're legit criminals, such as, like a pedophile, a murderer, doing really bad things. I don't like people, you know, just ending up in prison. But if you plead guilty, more than likely you're probably guilty. And when it comes to billions of dollars worth of fraud or stealing, you think there'd be more severe consequences than serving, for example, one year prison sentence? For example, didn't the samurai developers who just produce code get sentenced to several years in prison? They didn't steal billions of fucking dollars. You know, so low key. Makes me believe Trump's gonna fucking pardon Bankman fried. He's next. I hope that's not true, but the way things are going, like, nothing really adds up. Next story. Yo. Crypto social chatter has actually been very positive for the start of the new year, though we're only three days, according to Santiment. I want to talk to Samson Analytics. This level has historically been a concern. It is very positive at the moment. Usually that's a bit of a concern, but in this case, it might just be why we're back from the huddle days. That's right. Happy huddle days. Quinn Livian said it isn't overly worried about a lot of the fomo, but added we could enter the market and bitcoin quickly climbs towards 92. Bitcoin trading in 90 at this time. Not too shabby huh? Quinn Valian said a quick increase at a bitty price to this level will show the true reaction from the retail. They are starting to pour in the money because they're saying the biddy go up. That would be bad retail euphoria and crypto trends. It tends to surge near all time highs or the cycle peaks. And historically the market has dropped shortly after. Analysts had previously argued that when the excitement gets too intense, the crypto market often moves in the opposite way. The opposite of the consensus. The crypto greed and fear index has finally staged a short recovery. We're back in the fear territory after being trapped in the extreme fear for a couple of months. That's a good sign. And we also have other macro indicators which show some bullishness. But you got to keep it one hun Anytime there's like war on the horizon or things of this nature, typically it dampens the markets financially. But we'll see what happens. And we're stuck like Chuck at 90 200. Will she climb higher? Will she stage a recovery? Will we drop? Will we remain insane in the membrane or insane in the pinky in the brain? Let me know. Let's continue with the bitty news. Here's the big story of the day. Bit mine chairman proposes 1000x increase and the company's authorized shares to 50 billion. That's right. Thomas Lee, the chairman of the public listed ether treasury company Bit Mine urged the shareholders to back a proposal to dramatically increase the company's authorized share count to 50 billion. From 50 million. Move the bottle out of the way. J.V. you got it. Citing the potential need for the future stock splits as ether's price drives the company's valuation. So someone's all in on the ether. Lee said Bit Mine share price closely tracked to the price of the ether and that he molded potential future valuate. I'm sorry. Modeled future evaluations using the ETH Bitscoin ratio. And according to Mr. Lee, ETH could reach 250000 per Bitcoin and then climb to a million. A scenario that would push the bit Mine share price of levels he said would be inaccessible for money most retail investors. BITM shifted from operating as a bit Bitcoin mining and holding company to an ETH treasury strategy last year. But it still retained some of the bitcoin operations. The doing ETH reaching 250 puts BITM shares at an implied price of 5,000 per coin according or per share, I should say, according to Lee, which is far too expensive for most retail investors. Not everybody wants a stock price at 500, 1500 or even 5000. Most people want shares to stay at around 25 bucks, Lee said. If ETH hits 250 bit mine would have to initiate a 100 to 1 stock split to maintain a share price of 25 bucks, but could create 43 billion shares outstanding. Quoting them here, the current shares outstanding are 426 million. We're trying to get the authorized share count to 50 billion. That doesn't mean we're issuing 50 billion shares. That's what we want the total maximum shares to be. Lee is describing the unit bias problem so in finance, unit bias is the psychological tendency for investors to prioritize the number of the shares or tokens owned over their return on investment risk to reward ratio or other critical metrics of evaluating an investment. Reaction to LE proposal were overwhelmingly negative, with several users arguing that raising the authorized share limit is a dilutive move. Quoting this guy here, Tom this looks fishy and redonkulous. Today's episode of Bitcoin News Alerts is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. You chose to hit play on this podcast today.

Get started@vanta.com to authorize a higher share count because the stock might go to 500. You can do this next year when it isn't in the gutter. W W Meanwhile Bit mine bought almost 33,000 ETH on Tuesday valed over 100 million using prices at this time. The company's treasury crossed 4 million ETH valid at 12 billion in December and also been staking the ETH to earn the yield staking in crypto. As you know, that's when you put aside some of your crypto and you get some form of a Return on that crypto. But there you go, yo. I mean, what are your thoughts from Mr. Tom Lee being all in on the ether and projecting a th000x increase in companies authorized shares to 50 billion. Holler at your boy. Bada boom, bada bing. Bitcoin price projection suggests ADG is the bottom this year of 2026 with 203,000 as the top. I say why so motherfucking bearish? But that's just me. The bitcoin price movements are forming a recognizable pattern according to the macro chart from the crypto bullet. Based on the Fibonacci retracement levels, the analyst suggests the B will hit its bare market bottom at around 40 GS in October 2026. I'm going to have to agree to disagree here, but let me know your thoughts. Here's what they wrote. Bitcoin macro chart new cycle October 2026 Bitcoin bare market bottom around 40Gs. Next cycle top September 2029 between 172 and 203,000. Extremely bearish because that's actually a target for the next cycle. Obviously the next having is in 2028. So that's the year preceding. I say by then we'll be over a million. But let me know your thoughts following this bottom. Bitcoin is expected to enter the new bull with a projected top reaching between 172 and 203 GS by September of 2029. The chart also shows the bitcoin prices already peaked within the hundred thousand one hundred thirty range during the previous cycles. Well, yeah, we actually just peaked at 1263 October 6th to be exact. But who's counting? Besides the nipador, these cycles identified by specific Fibonacci levels are being used to predict the future price action. Liquidity and short liquidation may push the biddy beyond 90 GS. Liquidity is a key factor influencing the bitcoin price in the short term. The bitcoin liquidation heat map based off from Coin Glass here shows their significant cluster of short liquidations between the 91 and 96 4. But again, let me know your thoughts. I personally think this is extreme Bear. So that's why I'm gonna hit you next with an extreme bull and we're gonna discuss a 3 million dollar super cycle. Just send it and we'll go from there. But first let's read a little comments, shall we? What do we got? What do we say? What do we do? Scooby. Mado. I'm here. The car is out of the errands. Snap. Welcome back, Tam. Do you mind? Weather nice in Santa Barbara? Weather's always nice in Santa Barbara. That's one of the benefits of being in Santa Barbara. Perfect weather. We zooming, zoom, zoom, zoom. 91 soon. That's what I'm saying, Jimbo. Now send it right to 191. The cut to the chase. Let's get right to it. Why around when you could find out, you know McCassey McCasey made one of the best virus security systems out there. Yeah, McCasey was amazing. Shout out to McCasey. But now I do miss McAfee though. I think they whacked him because he was speaking too truthful about taxes and he had a lot of influence. He was also running for president and he was just straight up. He didn't, you know, he wasn't controlled by anyone. He wasn't controlled opposition. Like all your favorite influencers you probably watch, you know, and that's always a benefit. But unfortunately those are the people that get whacked first, the ones that don't do business with the forces of evil. That's why I got to respect McAfee clearly, you know. Now for our feature story of the day. Tom Lee Bitcoin prediction can Bitcoin hit 3 million via a super cycle with a supply shock Less entertaining Bitcoin investors got a gold prediction. Bold, I should say from Tom Lee. During a recent live CNBC interview, Tom said a supply shock was a coming it could push the bitcoin price over 3 million per coin. The doing in the long term. This prediction is extraordinary considering bitcoin currently trades at 90 GS. But Lee believes the market dynamics and scarcity could create the massive upward pressure in the years ahead. A supply shock happens when demand rises faster than the available supply. In the bitcoin case, Lee points to the limited supply as we know, 21 million coins currently over 19 million in circulation 1.1 million belong to the infamous Satosh. And as more investors, institutions and companies buy the biddy fewer bitcoins will remain available for trading. That's right. Bitcoin is rarer than the Charizards of the Pokemon. According to Li, the imbalance between supply demand could drive the price sharply higher. He also emphasized the past events like the bitcoin hab have historically reduced supply growth and triggering the long term rallies. That's a fact. The the reward for the miners gets chopped in half every four years after the bitcoin having which makes bitcoin that much more scarce simple supply demand dynamics better known as stock to flow. But not all experts agree with Lee's extreme forecast. Critics have been warned at reaching 3 million per coin is highly unlikely in the short term. Regulatory changes, macroeconomic factors and market volatility could all prevent such dramatic growth. Yeah, I don't think it happens short term either. It's obviously going to take some years, but the point is it can occur. And how soon it can occur. In my humble opinion, as early as 2029. But let's continue. Lee's prediction highlights a key trend in the crypto world so scarcity institutional adoption driving the long term bullish sentiment. Investors who focus on these factors may see opportunity, but they should also be cautious. I want to talk to Samson and do some risk management carefully. Why Investors Should Watch Bitcoin Scarcity Bitcoin market behavior is influenced by supply constraints and investor sentiment. Lee's comments draw attention to how limited supply could affect the price over time for retail and institution understanding supply dynamics and help inform strategies and timing and back to the long term outlook. While 3 million may sound extreme, the idea of a supply driven price increase is nothing new. Bitcoin has always been scarce. That's right, and demand continues to grow as adoption expands. Like Samson Worldwide, investors should watch how liquidity, regulatory development and market demand evolve. Even if the 3 million figure has never reached supply, shocks can push Bitcoin to new highs beyond expectations. Well, let's do some realistic math. A simple 10x from here Bitcoin sitting pretty at 1 million to get the 3 million is about a 30x Ken Bitscoin 30x absolutely. We're only up 250 million percent since 17 years ago to this day from the Release of the Jan 3rd genesis block. Hence respect to Samson who has the company Jan3, which is to pay homage to Satoshi's wife White Paper and the Bitcoin Genesis block. But anyways, yeah, 30x can absolutely happen. It will happen. I guarantee it in our lifetime. Since I discovered Bitcoin in 2017, we already went up 80x. What's another 30x from here? A mere 3000%. Bitcoin can do that sleeping, you know. And we don't need the institutions. We don't need Trump. We don't need Today's episode of Bitcoin News Alerts is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. You chose to hit play on this podcast today.

The largest bitcoin hack one year jail sentence so that nobody in bitcoin should be serving a prison sentence more than one year. Because unless you stole more than a billion dollars if you stole more than 120,000 bitcoin like Bankman freed let em rot in prison but if you stole less apparently you gotta let them go. Sorry, didn't mean was Lawfare. Oops. Did I steal all those bitcoins? You know what's going on? Maybe Trump wants to hire this guy to steal some more bitcoins for the strategic bitty reserve. He's up to something.
