Today is Pot episode 2224. I'm your host JV alongside my co host the Fed chair Nipinator. Today Bitcoin's back in the green a bit. We're currently trading just above 95,200 kicking it off with our market watch as we do each and every day. Pulling up coin360. Good to see Bitcoin back in the green after two itty bitty corrective days. So yeah, Bitcoin up 65% add 6 and 5. That's an 111111 omen. Just saying we have e 11 1/2% trading above 3300 XLM is a big gainer on the day it looks like up almost 7% but the bulk of the market in the green which is cool. Checking out coinmarketcap.com you also noticed the crypto market cap back on the rise. Currently 3.24 trillion. That's total crypto market cap. Bitcoin market cap on the rise as well. Currently just surpassed 1.9 trillion. Looking to recover above the $2 trillion milestone. And adding it all up. It's mindboggling to me that the total crypto market cap is only 3.2 trillion when the total addressable market in the world is over 900 trillion. It just reminds us of how early we truly are as bitcoiners. We're truly blessed. Checking out the Crypto Greed and Fear Index. We're dead in the middle of Little Italy. Little did we know that we riddle some middleman who didn't do Italy. 50 dead in the middle bro. Yesterday 49. It's kind of cool because we ain't seen neutral territory since early October when we hit the all time high of the 1263 which is the current firmament. And for the bulk of the fourth quarter we were stuck in extreme fear. We bottomed out at roughly a 10. And checking out the time chain calendar, Today's block height number 932,695 and you could exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 1,049 SATs. So you know precisely what to do. You pick up the SATs, put down the gats and pick up some bitcoin caps from a man. Sergio. Show some Support over@bitcoincaps.net Let's look at do some live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction Bo Jackson today dedicated to the Broskis We've been trading sideways but that's okay. Again we're barely in the green but we are back above 95, 000 at the time of the live stream. No particular targets on the one hour chart. Checking out the four hour. You're going to notice we did get some bullish momentum this week. We had some pretty epic price gains but then we've been trading a sideways since we did top out at just about 98000 before the little bit of a correction we're currently in and we're looking to recover above the critical 100k milestone. You know, checking out the daily you're going to notice some big green candles this week, but followed by some itty bitty corrections and currently again trading sideways above the moving averages. At least checking out the weekly Tomorrow we shall get a weekly close and you'll notice the candle is pretty healthy. We had a nice gain this week, better than all the previous see, you know, so we're regaining the bullish momentum. Checking out the monthly you're also going to notice the month of January is green after three horrendous bare months in the fourth quarter of 2025. Thank God that's behind us. Onwards and upwards. And also Just Want to Shout Out Robbie P. He just dropped a new album. He made this post a little earlier today on Ax Dread Pirate Robbie, the studio album on the Bitcoin standard. Let me just tell you a little something something Dread Pirate Robbie is a front to back album experience that moves between satire, signal and speculation. The record pulls from finance, tech, identity and myth not to explain them, but to sit with their consequences. Each track feels like a dispatch from a different timeline, some familiar, some absurd, some uncomfortably close. Where systems use timestamps to record transactions, this album captures something else, the feel of the movement where we're living in. And here's an actual video right here I encourage you guys to watch. Be sure to follow him on act. Show your support. The handle is Robbie P808X and songs like Take Money Off Main street and in the Vault reduce modern finance to simple moments, closed doors, implied ownership, sovereign empowerment and quiet exits. And a little later I'll play one of the tracks from the album, so stay tuned. But I'm a huge fan of his. Can't wait to listen to the whole album. He did drop it. Here's the track list right here. Again, dedicated bitcoin maxi music and I've already had the privilege of listening to some of these in advance and I'm a huge fan or I wouldn't be sharing it with you here on the Bitcoin News Alerts podcast. So show your support. Shout out Robbie P. Congrats on the album Drop diving a little deeper into the TA3 reasons why Bitcoin's real breakout towards 107 has begun. That's right, Bitcoin confirmed this breakout from the multi week ascending triangle earlier this week and shifted into a textbook post breakout retest phase. After pushing above the pattern's upper boundary near 95G's Bitcoin pulled back to retest the former resistance as support before bouncing higher, a move typically associated with valid breakouts rather than the false moves. And back to Robbie P. Where can you download the album? You can listen to it for free on Rumble and show some support as you can now tip in Bitcoin to your favorite Rumble creators. Just saying. But anyways, holding this reclaim level keeps the real breakout structure intact, preserving the patterns measured upside objective near 107 derived by adding the triangle's maximum height to the breakout point by February. And at the same time, the bitcoin daily chart approached a potential bullish crossover between the 20 day and 50 day exponential moving averages. The last time bitcoin printed a similar bull cross, the bitcoin price advanced by roughly 17% over the following month, strengthening the case for the trend continuation if the signal is confirmed. Bitcoin's breakout gained credibility as the selling pressure from the long term hudlers continue to fade. Data tracking the UTXOs spent by OG Hudders coins dormant for more than five years showed that distribution into the recent.

Network is busy see terms have slowed materially so for example, as of January the 90 day average of the spent outputs peak near 2300. Bitcoin earlier in the cycle but later declined towards 1000 BTC level, suggesting fewer coins hitting the market. And here you can see the STXO from the OG Bitcoin holders brought to you by Crypto Quant. Earlier in the rally the OG selling had surged to levels well above the previous bull market, reflecting an unusual attractive exit window created by the spot ETF demand, deeper liquidity and institutional participation. This suggests the OGs have also slowed down their selling. Their selling pressure, which can sometimes be massive, has clearly decreased and the prevailing trend now seems to lean more toward holding rather than the distribution. The slowdown of the OG selling also aligned with the largest net bitcoin outflows from exchanges since the December of 2024. And then we have the bitcoin to gold correlation and I'll just touch upon it real quick because as you know, precious metals have been breaking out, reaching new all time highs as of fourth quarter of last year and they're continuing to do so. Many analysts believe this is a precursor of what Bitcoin's about to do. Start ripping like a new Scotty Pippen Let me know if you're all in on bitcoin or precious metals. A little bit of each. I'm all in bitcoin circa 2017 and nobody can change my mind. But that's just me. I follow the Nipinator indicator. Pure signal. We're all in. I'm just saying. But anyways yo, let's dive a little deeper into what's happening here spot Bitcoin ETFs attract 1.42 billion in the strongest week since early October that was when we hit the all time high126.3 spot ETFs recorded 1.42 billion in net inflows over the past week, marking the strongest weekly performance since early October amid renewed return of institutional demand. So so value data shows inflows into the spot ETS peak in midwee, with Wednesday recording the largest single day net inflow of roughly 844 million, followed by 754 million on a taco Tuesday. Despite late week pullbacks, including a 400 million outflow Friday, the sequence of the large midweek inflows pushed the weekly total to 1.42 billion, the strongest since early October when the funds attracted 2.7 billion inflows into ether. ETFs were also front loading earlier in the week, with the largest single day inflow of roughly 290 million recorded on Tuesday, followed by about 215 million on Wednesday. The weakest session came later in the week with net outflows roughly 180 million on Friday, trimming the weekly gains to approximately $480 million. Investors return as bitcoin supply continues to tighten. Quoting analysts here, ETF inflow points to the long only allocators reentering via regulated channels. ETF absorption alongside whale stabilization implies tightening effective supply and a more risk on market environment. He also said onchain indicators show the large holders, often referred to as the whales, have reduced their net selling compared with late December, easing a key source of the distribution pressure. When combined with the steady ETF buying, the result is a market where available supply appears to be a tightening even as the price volatility persists. So odds point to more green days. Dookie though not in a straight line, he says. Well, of course not. ETF inflows are providing the structural bid while easing whale selling, suggesting dips are more likely to be absorbed. Remember, you can't short your dorks. You can't afford that. And according to the Bitcoin Macro Intelligence newsletter Ecoin O Metrics, recent spikes in the spot Bitcoin ETF inflows have tended to trigger the short lived price rebounds like a young Dennis Rodman via circa Detroit Pistons era ever ever ever slim JV rather than the sustained upside with the gains often fading once the inflows are slow. And there you go yo. And if you don't know, you'll never know until you do the math. Tik tock next block you know. But anyways, next story of the day Bitty Fam let's continue. The DOJ didn't sell the biddy forfeited from the Samurai case, according to the White House advisor. He would know if anyone knows, right? Mr. Patrick Witt, the White House advisor for crypto, said he received confirmation from the U.S. department of Justice No Bitcoin was forfeited from the Samurai case, which was sold, but rumors are now put to rest. The confirmation was shared by Patrick Witt. I'll just read you what he wrote. Update we have received confirmation the DOJ digital assets from forfeited by the Samurai Wallet have not been liquidated and will not be liquidated per the executive order 14233. They will remain on the USG balance sheet as part of the SBR strategic bitty reserve. The doing doing the issued surface November when blockchain analysts flagged the 57 and a half bitties transferred from the US government control Bitcoin address to a Coinbase Prime Deposit address. The Marshall Service was accused of violating the Executive Order signed by the Trumpster himself last March which mandates that any Bitcoin the government obtains to criminal or civil forfeiture shall not be sold and much must be held by the Strategic Bitty Reserve. And thank God for that right. Data from the Bitcoin treasury shows U s government now holds 320 they're they're multiplying their biddies like the baby kids. We don't die, we multiply. That's crazy. The US government now holds 328000 Bitcoin worth over 31 billion at the current prices that tally includes the forfeited 127,000 bitties forfeited in October from the Cambodia based company that allegedly ran the infamous pig butchering crypto investment scheme. And in a interview with the Crypto in America published Tuesday with said building out the SBR is still on the priority list and will move forward once the treasury and Commerce agencies agree. Well, let's agree to agree already on how to handle the certain legal requirements. The U S. Senator, Ms. Lummis sponsored the Bitcoin reserve bill seeking to accelerate the process which seeks to accumulate 1 million Bitcoin over a five year period. That's roughly a quarter million bitcoins stacked per year over five years. The U S Government stated its strategy would be to accumulate Bitcoin in the budget neutral ways. That's the key and clearly confiscated Bitcoin is one of the many ways to do that, you know. But there you go yo let's continue yo next story of the day. This is actually going to be interesting. I I never read the stories in advance and I'm anxious to see what his response is here to the criticism, but the title is Sailor Pushes Back on the Criticism of the Bitcoin Treasury Companies strategy chairman Mr. Sailor defended the Bitcoin treasury companies against criticism, doing a recent appearance on the what Bitcoin did podcast. That's the one with Peter McCormick responding to questions about the smaller companies which issue equity and debt to buy the bitcoin. Following in the Sailor playbook there we call it the Sailor put. Sailor said the decision ultimately comes down to the capital allocation, arguing companies with excess cash are better off allocating it to the bitcoin than holding it in treasuries or returning it to the shareholders. He compared corporate treasury strategies to individual investing, arguing ownership levels vary, but the underlying decision to hold Bitcoin is rational regardless of the company size or the biz model. Sailor also pushed back on the idea that unprofitable companies should be signaled out for criticism, arguing bitcoin holdings can help offset the weak operating results. He said a company running at a loss still could still improve its overall financial position if the value of the bitcoin holdings rise faster than the operating loss, quitting them here. If you're losing 10 million a year but making 30 million in Bitcoin gains, didn't I just save the company fair play there?

I don't know if this is Sailor's crib they're recording here but pretty lit chess set. I'd love to play Sailor in a game of chess. And hey Bitcoin sports network if you're watching let's bring a chess tournament to the next event. Event. Let's do it. I'm going to challenge Mr. Jack Mers to a game. I hear he's legendary. It's a game of chess. I don't know how good Sailor is but I challenge Sailor as well. But anyways. Sailor contrasted bitcoin purchases with other uses of excess cash arguing the buybacks and low yield treasuries can worsen outcomes for struggling companies. Buying back shares and a money losing business just amplifies your losses further adding the Bitcoin offers material materially different risk reward profile for corporate balance sheets. Sailor said companies that hold Bitcoin are often held to a different standard than those that avoid the asset altogether. The bitcoin community tends to eat its young. That's disgusting. You somehow think that it's okay for 400 million companies to not buy Bitcoin and somehow that's okay. You're going to criticize the 200 companies that did buy Bitcoin. Valid point strategy began accumulating bitcoin back in 2020. Being the first public trade company to put a biddy on the balance sheet that now holds 687,410 Bitcoin. But who's counting besides me and Sailor? Corporate adoption Bitcoin treasury strategies accelerated as you know last year growing number of publicly traded companies adding Bitcoin to the balance sheet as a long term asset. And at this time publicly listed Companies collectively held 1.1 million of the Bitcoin which is roughly 5.5% of the current coins in circulation. Again 5.5% of the Bitcoin circulating supply is held by these Bitcoin treasury companies. Here's a list of the top holders. Clearly Strategy pole position 687,000 mera not even close. In second position with 5321 Jack Mueller's company 43,000 Meta Planet, which is the Japanese strategy. 35,000. And the list goes on and on. You have Trump Media and Technology group listed there as well, currently number 12, Coinbase Global number 8. And you can get the whole list from right there. But there you go. Yo. That's the latest with Sailors response to the criticism. Let me know your thoughts on strategy and the bitcoin treasury play. Do you think that move will continue to gain momentum this year of 2026? Even though 2025 didn't really end on a high note? Either way, let me know. Holler at your boy. Next story. Binance founder the infamous C to the Z shares thoughts on the B to the TC. Price reaching 200 GS per coin. That's right. CZ believes Bitcoin price will reach 200 GS. I mean it's a given. Was that a 2x from here? Bitcoin's only up 100 million 200 million percent since inception. What? What's a 2x? You know. But anyways, the bullish prediction comes after the crypto has seen years of strong performance. You can say that again. The greatest appreciating asset in human history has been bitcoin. That's a fact. We hit the 1263 current firmament that was October of last year in the fourth quarter and then we dumped all the way down to 20 or not 20, but I'm sorry, 80,000 collectively losing maybe 46,000 of price action. We've recovered since then, looking to reclaim 100 at the time of this record recording. But anyways 200000 around the corner according to the OG. And by the way, CZ is the richest in crypto next to Satoshi. You know, I don't know. I've seen rumors of his net worth $80 billion. I don't know exactly what it is, but I also heard he was the richest or wealthiest man to ever go to prison as well. I think he only served like 6 months or whatever. He paid the 4 billion dollar fine to the DOJ, got the slap on the wrist. The rest of the is history. But yeah, Bitcoin spent a few years in a major uptrend reaching multiple all time highs at the launch of the SPA Bitcoin ETF which was January 11, 2024. That's when the institutions came. So in 2025 Bitcoin did peak out at 126. Three achieved October 6. While many anticipated this achievement, some raised doubts. Especially the Peter Schiffmeister, the biggest critic of them all. Against this backdrop, the Recent statement by cz4cs Another significant milestone of the biddy that some analysts still believe won't happen, at least not for another couple of years. Although Bitcoin has since shed a significant portion of its gains since the peak, CZ has boldly stated Bitcoin reaching 200 GS is the most obvious thing in the world. And I'm gonna repeat that because Bitcoin reaching 200 GS is absolutely the most obvious thing in the world. We all know it's inevitable. It could happen any moment. Could happen this quarter of 2026. I do believe that even in a bear scenario with this extended bull cycle, we're going to hit 222. Just saying, 222G's baby. He emphasized it was only a matter of time before the price rises to this level, representing almost double the current all time high. Notably, CZ's bullish prediction for the bitty comes as the US regulatory landscape continues to evolve, aiming to create a safer, potentially bullish environment for digital assets. With bills such as the Clarity act under consideration, the crypto market would clearly benefit from clearer guidelines, increasing institutional adoption and greater investor confidence. Although the bill was initially scheduled for a vote by the U.S. senate Banking Committee Jan 15, the decision was ultimately delayed, leaving the timeline for regulatory clarity uncertainty. Now, in addition to this bullish forecast, CZ predicted a crypto super cycle. What would the price look like in a super cycle? In my opinion, 2.2 million per coin, which is the prediction of the High Priest himself, Max Kaiser. I say send it. The Binance founder pointed to the recent development involved in the US SEC won't let me be a let CZ free. Please let him be. He highlighted on the report revealing the SEC officially removed crypto from its 2026 priority risk list, a move that could provide the industry with a greater regulatory relief and create more room for the future bullish growth. That's right, because Gensler went home to get a shine box. Take that Mr. Gensler. No hair gear, no Claire Gare, whatever you want to call them. Sharing in a similar outlook of the CZ, we have the wrecked fencer who shared on AX. He predicted Bitcoin can surge to 200 GS despite the broader crypto market recovering from the prolonged bear, the analyst remains confident. And here's a little deja vu comparison of the 2020 chart. Back then when we started going parabolic, that's when we went from a thousand to 20,000. I'm sorry, that was the following cycle. That was 2017. 2020 was actually went up to 60,000. You know, we started ripping and in 2021 we hit that cycle peak of 69,000. And then it shows us in 2026 if history is a repeat, clearly we can hit the $240,000 mark without any massive dumps. Wouldn't that be something and let me know how that would transform your life. Pre little bitty went ripping like a new Scotty Pippen. Now for our feature story of the day. This analyst says bitcoin will not be worth a million dollars in five years. They're calling shenanigans and I'm calling shenanigans on their shenanigans. How do you like Those apples? Throughout 2025 it was a fashionable for the crypto folk and top Silicon Valley insiders predicting bitcoin smashing a million by the year 2030. And just for the record, I still firmly believe bitcoin will be way past a million by 2030. My personal target and is my original target, I've never changed is by the year 2029 at least 1 million per coin. And we're going to get into this here and. But it ended last year under the psychologically important hundred thousand price level. And analysts are now busy cutting back the targets for 2026. Even Cathie Wood. How much wood could woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood and it wasn't wood?

It was bitcoin and it was Kathy who famously predicted back in 2022, Bitcoin reaching a million by 2030 has pared back her future growth estimates. But guess what? She had three targets. She had the bear scenario, the base case and the bull case. And the bull case. She upped it to 2.8 million. So consider that. Riddle me this. You know, as a result, this writer says he's predicting bitcoin will not be worth a million in five years. And I'm going to combat that and tell you why. I genuinely believe we will. But first, let's entertain this article source. Quite simply, the math doesn't work anymore. They say the original 1 million target assumed a base price of a hundred thousand in 2025. That works out to be a compound annual growth rate of 60%. In other words, the crypto needed to post annual returns of 65 years in a row to get to the vaulted 1 million price level. That's why the crypto watchers were hoping it would double in value last year 2025, just as it had in 2024 and 2023. That would make it more likely to hit a million by 2030. Instead of a CAGR of 60%, it would only need a CAGR of 50%. But Bitcoin actually took a step back. As you know, we had a massive correction, especially in the fourth quarter when we were anticipating the fireworks. And we did drop to a bottom of 80, 000, but we have recovered significantly and looking to retest a hundred thousand at this time. So this author wrote, that's why I'm referring to when I say the math doesn't work anymore. Well, here's the thing, you don't know how to do the math. Number one, bitcoin, if you really zoom out, bro, we've been on a 17 year bull trajectory. I genuinely do believe that sometimes we get caught up zooming into the cycle, looking at one year or four year window and that could be very misleading and limiting compared to the overall, you know, bigger picture. So the four year cycle, another common topic of conversation. Some say the four year cycle remains 2026 obviously has to be the bear. 2027 bear then year the next have in 2028 we resume the new bull. But the OGs are saying otherwise and I'll tell you why in a bit. But back to the author here. Don't forget about the four year cycle. Throughout history, crypto has been very cyclical. It always has, it's true. Closely following the four year pattern of the boom and bust. Three good years usually followed by one disastrous year. That's when it can lose anywhere from 50 to 70. Yeah, we've seen massive corrections as I think as much as 90% a long time ago, previous cycles. But as the market cap grows higher and higher, the drawdowns are going to become less and less. But they're still very significant. You know, for example, if we crack 75 from 100 GS that drops us to 25000 but will we ever get another 75? Correction, I'm skeptical because times have absolutely changed with the mass institutional adoption, you know the executive order for states, the strategic Bitcoin reserve and of course nig buell bitcoin country sovereign wealth funds 401ks sign of the times, all the institutions, Wall street, etc But I know I'm preaching to the choir here but yeah. So let me just break this down a further concern. Crypto starting to lose the cachet of digital gold. I disagree. I still believe Bitcoin is the greatest store value and it's superior to gold in any way you can measure it. Number one, gold is confiscatable. Gold Confiscation Act 1933. They can't confiscate your bitcoin if it's properly self custied in coal storage key number one. So for that reason alone if you don't trust thy government in which you shouldn't, I mean Epstein's clients are clearly running this show then it you should be in an asset they can't just take away from you at any time. And I do genuinely believe they will try to confiscate the Bitcoin ETF, BTC and Bitcoin derivatives or IOUs are not the same as holding the coins. Nacho keys, nacho cheese. Hence nacho coins. But I'm just saying. But anyways at the same time Ark Invest would acknowledge other cryptos are starting to take some of the functions of bitcoin specifically pointing to the stable coins which are digital currencies pegged to the dollar at a one to one. Also she recently pushed down her future price target. Oh no. From 1.5 to 1.2 million. We're still talking a million dollars per coin and again that's not even her bull scenario yo. So keep that in mind. But anyways diving a little deeper into why I genuinely believe million is inevitable. Number one, the institutions and Wall street fully embracing it. The United States of America establishing the strategic Bitcoin reserve under the Trump administration last year signing a executive order to not sell digital assets such as Bitcoin as long as it's acquired through net neutral strategies in which there's plenty of. So that's a big factor. Number two, the global hash war which was predicted from Max Kaiser who coined that term many years back as nation states are adopting Bitcoin in real time racing. Whoever doesn't adopt is just going to be left behind. So obviously Bukele has the first movers advantage with bitcoin country and there's many States. Now in the United States embracing bitcoin, such as Texas, New Hampshire and others which we've been discussing here throughout the show. There's other countries, sovereign places like the kingdom of Bhutan, who has been steadily stacking bitcoin as well. Very small place. Also in the Middle East, Eric Trump been predicting, Trump's son predicting bitcoin going to a million. Also confirming the rumors of countries in the Middle east and sovereign wealth funds accumulating mass amounts of bitcoin. There's very limited amount of billionaires in the world and the people who are billionaires are the people with the smart money. You know, the Howard Lutnicks of the world, the Ricardo Selena, they're all bitcoiners now. They've all joined the bitcoin team. So we already know. Limited supply, perfect money, God hacking humanity. One million, inevitable. The question is by what year will it happen this year? Will it be next year? Will it be the next year of the having? The year preceding the having? Will it be 20, 30? And here's the bigger picture, it's all irrelevant. One thing is for certain, Bitcoin will continue to do what it does best, going up and purchasing power against a dying fiat currency which is mathematically guaranteed to lose your purchasing power. Right? That's why you save in bitcoin. Bigger picture, bitcoin is the ultimate piggy bank. Bitcoin is a time capsule to generational wealth protected by the encrypted firmament of God. That's an original JV quote, and it is what it is. Welcome everyone to the q A segment of the live stream.

Psalm 23 verse 6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

JV’s Rebuttal & Breakdown
JV closes the episode by reaffirming his conviction in Bitcoin’s role as “the ultimate piggy bank,” a “time capsule to generational wealth protected by the encrypted firmament of God,” capped by poetic and spiritual reflections on faith, resilience, and Bitcoin’s promise of sovereignty and freedom. The episode is an emphatic rejection of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt), reminding listeners to “stack sats,” remain patient, and stay true to Bitcoin’s founding ethos.
“Bitcoin will continue to do what it does best, going up in purchasing power against a dying fiat currency. One million is inevitable.”
– JV, [31:25]
