Happy Sat stacking Sunday Bitcoin back in a green. We're currently 95,300 at the time of the live. I'm your host JV alongside the Fed chair, my co host Nick Nipinator who's already gave us the signal the Nipinator liquinator indicator on the day and it doesn't get much more bullish than that. But kicking it off with today's market watch pulling up coin360 you can see bitcoin doing its thing. Ether barely in a green. Some of the alts correcting, some in a green. You know mixed bag on the day. Uh last couple of days we had minor corrections after having a nice run up in the market. Checking out coinmarketcap.com current crypto market cap decline about 0.4%. It's currently 3.22 trillion. The Bitcoin market cap maintaining just above 1.9 trillion. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours, dash making a dash up 10 on the day, 124 on the week. My understanding is there was something that happened with another privacy coin, zcash, which has been doing quite well, especially the fourth quarter of last year, and there were some concerns. So I think a lot of that market cap of Z cash has been flowing into Dash as well as Monero, which would explain the incredible 124 price gains on the week below that. You got ICP and my X. Which al are you bullish on for the bull holler? But checking out the Crypto Greed and Fear index, we're still in neutral territory. Yesterday was a 50, today a 49, last a 29 and last month a 16. An extreme fear. And checking out the blockchain calendar today is block height 932843 and you could exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for one 49 sats. So you know precisely what to do. Pick up the SATs, put down those gats and pick up some bitcoin caps from my man Sergio over@bitcoin caps.net let's dive right in. We'll do a little live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction today, dedicated to the baddies. Now pulling up some of the live charts. This is brought to you via Trading View via Coinbase, the largest exchange in the US as far as crypto is concerned. You can see we've had a lot of long sideways trading action over this weekend, but we're finally on the up and up, looking to retest. We hit almost 98 a couple of days back before the minor correction and again at the time of the live. We're currently at 954. A little bit of a bullish momentum creeping in here. Checking out the four hours, probably going to be very similar. Yep, you're going to notice a few green candles most recently printed. So we're trying to get a little up action here. We are in the green on the day, hopefully we can break right through 96. We do get a weekly close candle here, uh, probably shortly during today's live as is going to be a full two hour episode today. And checking out the daily, you're also going to notice we're on we're in the green on the day. Yesterday and the day before were red and the prior days we had pretty significant price increase. Again we, we came just shy of 98 before the minor correction. We're currently in and checking out the weekly. Like I said, we will close in the green this week. We had a lot of bullish momentum, which is nice so far January has been bullish for this. Great way to kick off the new year after a very, you know, sad fourth quarter as far as price action is concerned. Checking out the monthly you're also going to notice, yeah, month of January, nice green candle, a lot bigger than last month's red candle. Corrective month we had for December. And then of course November was horrendous and October in particular October 10th was like the worst day in crypto history. However, ironic enough, four days prior to that was the all time high, which is current firmament sitting at 1:26:3. So diving a little deeper into some TA here, Bitcoin cycle far from over is just starting I dare say. But yeah, check this out. There was a new post showing the bitcoin bull cycle remains on despite the negative events of the fourth quarter of 2025. Notably, the crypto market leader experienced a heavy 33% price correction. Obviously referencing bitcoin, we hit the all time high on Coinbase roughly 126. 3. I remember we did the the infamous pump watch here on the BNA pod. And although Bitcoin has recorded some modest price recovery in the past month after Bo coming out at that 80 level, significant expectations of a bear market remain, driven by diminished market demand and failure to reclaim key technical levels such as the 365 day moving average. Using the data from the realized price by the UTXO age bands, this analyst explains the bitcoin market is actively redistributing its risks. This positive development counters the bearish narrative of the market cycle ending. Now I'm a firm believer as well that we're in an extended cycle cycle. These are unprecedented times and things are just completely different from every other four year cyclical cycle we have ever experienced. Now with the present spot price around 955, the crypto quant metric shows that the psychological stress is unevenly distributed amongst bitcoin holders, notably the short term holders. Some of those price actions 89 and 93 were some of the cohorts of where they're holding respectively below the spot price. This data suggests these classes of investors are in profit, experiencing low market pressure which helps keep the fear at bay and all that FUD. However, midterm hudders which are the 3 to 6 month folks and long term huddlers 6 to 12 months, have the realized price between 114 and 100,000, both of which are significantly above the present price. However, both holder cohorts have chosen to bear the discomfort by absorbing the losses rather than initiating an aggressive redistribution yet. Yes, that's right. Here's some advice. You can't lose what you don't sell. So bitcoin could be down, hypothetically speaking, from the price you got in at. Let's say you bought in at 120 near the top and today you're like it's 95. Well, if you don't sell, there's no realized loss. You just hold it until the bitty boss continues to do its thing, recaptures price discovery, and now you're back in a green.

So when I ask what is Odoo, what comes to mind? Well, Odoo is a bit of everything. Odoo is a suite of business management software that some people say is like fertilizer because of the way it promotes growth. But you know, some people also say Odoo is like a magic beanstalk because it grows with your company and is also magically affordable. But then again, you could look at Odoo in terms of how its individual software programs are a lot like building blocks. I mean, whatever your business may needs, manufacturing, accounting, HR programs, you can build a custom software suite that's perfect for your company. So what is Odoo? Well, I guess Odoo is a bit of everything. Odoo is a fertilizer, magic beanstalk, building blocks for business. Yeah, that's it. Which means that Odoo is exactly what every business needs.

That's the secret. I just wanted to point that out for those that don't know. Now you know. But anyways, as the spot price rises towards realized price of these stress cohorts, losses are expected to significantly reduce, eventually easing the pressure on these classes of holders and balancing the market risks. This market development only occurs if the 3 to 6 month and 6 to 12 month continuing to interpret the present market drawdown as mere cyclical discomfort rather than a change in market structure. And that's precise what it is. It's discomforting to say the least, isn't it? But there you go, yo. Let me know where you feel the Pretty little bitty price action likely. Take us next. Other big news here in the headlines. Stake and shake claims a $10 million boost thanks to their bitcoin reserve from their bitcoin sales. And if you missed the memo, they started accepting bitcoin payments at their fast food chain and apparently it's going quite well. So let's break this baby down. Steak and Shake fast food restaurant chain that accepts bitcoin payments. Let me know if you have a steak and Shake you. I know there's plenty of them in Florida where I'm from. Haven't seen one here in Puerto Rico so I'm not sure if it's a thing here. But anyways. They announced on Friday their bitcoin corporate treasury grew by 10 million in notional value. The company did not disclose how much bitcoin it holds or whether the increase reflects the price appreciation, customer payments converted to bitcoin or additional treasury purchases. But here's what they did say. All bitcoin sales go in our strategic Bitcoin reserve the company said adding adopting bitcoin as a treasury asset has led to a flywheel effect. The that increases same store sales which in turn grows the company's bitty stash. In May of 2025 is when the company announced it would start accepting bitcoin as a method of payment at all locations worldwide in a phase rollout and that rollout is official and here's the Official Expost Timestamp Jan 16th so this was 2 days ago on Friday it had over 327,000 views they wrote 8 months ago today Steak and Shake launched its burger to bitcoin transformation. When we started accepting bitcoin payments, our same store sales have risen dramatically ever since. Hell yeah, all bitcoin sales go in our strategic bitcoin reserve. Today we increased our bitcoin exposure by $10 million in notional value. We have created a self sustaining system growing same store sales that grow the sbr improving the food quality expand steak and Shake reach leverages bitcoin into the new delicious dimension. We'll put the bitties in the beverages, whatever it takes. I personally love to see this, you know, especially considering like when I got started in bitcoin like you know, there was no talk of the United States establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve or fast food restaurants like Steak and Shake. But here we are, you know, in 2026. It's a beautiful thing. The bitcoin community celebrated the announcement with many sharing their steak and Shake receipts. I know Tammy Hatcher was out there when they first started accepting bitcoin and many of the BNA fam. Let me know if you guys have experience using bitcoin to pay for Steak and Shake wherever you're located and let me know where you're located as well. The company's decision to accept the biddy for the payment showcases growing adoption of bitcoin payments by businesses, bolstering Bitcoin's use as a medium of exchange rather than simply as a store value asset or speculative financial instrument. And as you can see here, steak and shake, quarter over quarter, same store sales rose by 11. That's always the divine omen. And that was in the second quarter of last year, which it attributed of course to their bitcoin adoption. And the nipinator fed chair, the Q3, 2025, same store sales increased 15. So you can see the growth here. And if you compare it to the other food chains, it has the most growth for quarterly store sales. Uh, next up, taco smell dominoes. I mean, come on now. Burger King, Whack Arnold's and the list goes on and on. But I say we support those that support our community. And Steak and shake, even though I'm vegetarian, I would go get myself a milkshake, you know, chocolate thick shake, whatever I can eat with the beef towel. Maybe I'll get some onion rings, I don't know. But support those that support us, you know. Now also you may not know bitcoin's legal tender in El Salvador. So everywhere practically accepts bitcoin. I mean they have the choice. But all the fast food chains like a McDonald's you can pay in bitcoin, but that's exclusive in bitcoin country. Just FYI. Next story. Yo. Coinbase CEO denies the White House clash, says negotiations are currently ongoing. That's right. Mr. Clean aka Mr. Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase denied reports at the White House considering pulling support for the Clarity Act, a crypto market structure bill which has also denied rumors that the administration is furious with Coinbase. Quoting Mr. Clean right here. The White House has been super constructive here. They did ask us to see if we can go figure out a deal with the banks. On Friday we had journalist Eleanor Tourette reported a clash of the clash between the coin base and the admin of the U. S. President Trump with the White House threatening to withdraw support for the market structure bill if Coinbase did not resume negotiations. And Here was Brian Armstrong's official post timestamp January 17, which was yesterday. 257000 views in response to Eleanor Tourette, who wrote in general, love your post, but this is not accurate. The White House has been super constructive here. They did ask us to see if we can go figure out a deal with the banks, which we're working on. Actually, we've been cooking up some good ideas on how we can help the community, the bank specifically in this bill, since that's what this is about, the community banks. Right? More coming soon. So there you go. He also went on to share that we'd rather have no bill than a bad bill. Hopefully we can all get a better draft. While sharing a list of industry concerns about the most recent draft bill. Meanwhile, the U. S. Senate Banking Committee postponed the scheduled markup of the Clarity act, which was originally slated for Thursday, until lawmakers in the crypto industry can negotiate more acceptable terms. Armstrong says the experts expect a new bill markup within a few weeks and characterize the provisions and a stall version of the bill as catastrophic for consumers, echoing the widespread concerns of the crypto industry executives. Meanwhile, the Clarity act has created a divide within the crypto industry. Some industry execs argue the bill is a net positive for the sector despite the drawbacks, and others argue that this major setback for the industry. But at the heart of the debate is the issue of sharing stablecoin yield with customers, which the most recent version of the bill prohibits. And let me tell you why they probably don't like that. Because bankers number one are evil and number two, they don't want you earning more yield off of a cryptocurrency than you can earn at the bank because it undermines the the US dollar in which makes them look bad. I mean if you could hypothetically say earn a 10% yield with your favorite stablecoin or bitcoin, who in their right mind would keep money in the bank? It's a melting ice cube. You really lose money keeping it in the bank. They don't preserve your money. You're losing due to the debasement of the dollar. You're losing purchasing power by the day, you know. So and what is the interest rate to begin with? Point whatever the it is, it's virtually nothing you end up losing in the end. So probably why they re drafted the bill. They don't want yearning yield and remember when there was the war against crypto with Gensler and them they went after every major company offering a yield.

Terms all of them even the legit ones like the fucking Gemini Winklevoss twins lawsuit. Oh you're offering a yield. Shut them down. And they did that to every fucking yield bearing platform. So clearly there still seems to be a war on crypto. You know, even with the new administration, the bankers behind closed doors are not making it easy for the Trump administration. That's my read. Got no one to hold them and want to fold them and with the biddy hoddle be thy name the doing. But anyways, next story of the day, yo headline here reads Obscure Lost all the Bitty Reserve White House Crypto Council Director Mr. Patrick Witt. Here's his latest update to what's happening. Progress is being made towards establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve of the US but obscure legal provisions are holding up the process, says Patrick Witt, Director of the White House for the Crypto Council. Several government agencies discussing the legalities of the regulatory issues establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve, including the DOJ and the Office of the Legal Counsel. According to Wit, here's what he wrote. It seems straightforward but then you get into some obscure legal provisions and why this agency can't do it, but actually this other agency could. We're continuing to push on that. It is certainly still on the priority list right now. U S President Trump, as you know, made history signing the executive order establishing the strategic Bitcoin Reserve. As you can see here in the executive order right in his hands and a digital asset stockpile that includes alts and other types of cryptos. That was back in March of last year. That was a historic moment for the United States. Establishing the nation state Bitcoin reserve would be a landmark moment for the world's first digital currency, the btc. However, in some bitcoin communities there have been critical of the executive order criticizing the Trump admin for under delivering on its promises. Trump's executive order stipulated the US Government would not sell any of its bitcoin holdings and only add to the strategic reserve through bitcoin seized and asset forfeiture cases. The executive order does not allow the government to acquire more bitcoin or digital assets on the open market, which drew criticism from the bitcoin community. And here brought to you by ARCAM intel. The US Government's total crypto holdings continuing to go up, estimated to be currently above 4 billion at this time in 2026. The belief that the federal government will one day build a strategic bitcoin reserve requires a complete detachment from reality, according to Bitcoin maxi Justin Batchler. Now someone here wrote there is no movement towards the bitcoin reserve. There's no intention to acquire a fixable supply asset in good faith. There are only empty speeches, vague references and opportunistic pandering from Washington politicians. According to this guy Michael Bentley. And as you know, Cynthia Lummis proposed the U. S acquiring one. I think it was 1 million Bitcoin over the course of 5 years which would be on average acquiring 200000 Bitcoin per year. But some people are skeptical saying that that will never turn into fruition and Trump needs to act upon it. Seems to be a lot of politics behind closed doors as always. But In July of 2025 the Trump Admin released the long awaited report on digital asset policy that did not include additional details on the strategic bitcoin reserve which left us naturally wondering like why. Also US Treasury Secretary Scott Besson proposed August 2025 the government could acquire bitcoin as long as it's through budget neutral strategies which did not add to the annual budget deficit. And Sailor already proposed dozens of net neutral ways to acquire bitcoin that can be done. So if the US Government really wanted to go hard on acquiring bitcoin using these net neutral strategies, there's plenty of ways to do so. The fact we're still waiting, you know, is a little annoying, but we'll see what happens. Let me know if you think something will happen here soon this year because right now it's kind of been a nothing burger. Let me know your thoughts next story of the day. Veteran crypto extraordinaire Dan Tapriero predicts bitcoin heading to 180,000 this year, says stable coins will soar as well. So let's Break this one down if you got a hundred thousand and want to put it in crypto in 2026 veteran crypto investor Mr. Tapiero doesn't hesitate. Here's what he says. I think you split it between Bitcoin, Ether and Solana and decide how you like to split it. Now this is advice coming from Dan. I disagree here. According to The Nip Nator indicator 100 all in on the BTC. But I digress. Zooming out from the retail portfolios, Tapiero says some of the biggest opportunities lie in the crypto ecosystem, specifically the infrastructure that's finally breaking in to the mainstream. Stable coins, for example, are now powering global payments transaction volumes, reaching 33 trillion last year in 2025, up from 19.7 trillion in 2024. Quoting them here there's an entire world growing up around traditional players trying to figure out how to incorporate the stablecoin rails into whatever they're doing. Tapiro, who runs the lean growth equity firm called 50T Funds, stands for 50 trillion by the way. Bitcoin heading to 50 trillion. Just saying. Bitcoin also remains central to this thesis, both as an investment and as a macro hedge. He expects Bitcoin to reach 180,000 in this current cycle. Send it why so bearish, Dan? Citing a combo at a demand growth of the global monetary, Peter shifts this is just a correction. The bottom is in. I repeat, the bottom is in. Now we shall ascend. Tapiro sees the strong tailwinds from falling interest rates and large scale government spending on AI infrastructure. That global push is leading to currency debasement not just at a US dollar, but fiat currencies across the chessboard. That's very bullish for the btc. And while Tapiero sees promising growth and tokenization, blockchain AI convergence and on chain prediction markets, he's more cautious on recent trends like crypto treasury companies, which he believes offer little real innovation. Quoting him here, there is no moat, he said. I don't really see that the long term value proposition is for 95% of them. His final takeaway? Crypto in 2026 we still early, but it's growing up so fast and increasingly being shaped by real use cases, not just speculation. The reason why the stable coin of the payments and financial aspect is taken off more quickly is because those people care first and foremost about the money change the money change the world. Just saying. Let me know your thoughts on the 180 prediction before we get more bullish and discuss Samson's 2026 prediction including Bitcoin to a million including the timeline. Shout out. Shandy just gifted a membership of the Rumble and let's see who got hooked up with it as soon as that baby comes out. Looks like Griffin 29429. You've been hooked up with a Rumble membership on behalf of Chandy 10 Music now for our feature story of the Day January Samson Mouse has the bitcoin price target at 1 million and finally shares the timeline. I want to talk to Samson. Well, let's have a discussion shall we? Bitty advocate Jan3 CEO Samson has issued a defined bless you Nipinator prediction for the bitcoin price to reach 1 million and a new post on AX. He provided the timeline the key reasoning behind the prediction. The projection. The statement follows earlier bullish forecast but adds firmer detail and a precise time frame. So let's open up some of these recent X posts from Samson. Here's one Timestamp January eleven. You know eleven's a divine omen, he wrote. There's strong consensus from almost every price model the Bitcoin reaches $1,000,000. Today's episode of Bitcoin News Alerts is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

See terms in 2031-2033. What does that look like mechanically? Number 1150 per year steady and number 2 multi omega years plus some sideways years. And if you're not familiar with what an Omega is, like an Omega candle. It's a hundred thousand dollar candle. Send it now. What's the stop? A fast run up ahead of the schedule if either one or two hits. And he does make a good point here. He also recently tweeted the World is about to learn the meaning of absolute scarcity because Bitcoin is the only currency in existence with a finite limited supply. You cannot say the same with precious metals. There's relative scarcity there. Bitcoin has true scarcity, can only ever be 21 million. So that's the gist. So yeah, a fast run up ahead of schedule is also possible if specific market triggers occur. And he has suggested a violent upheaval where bitcoin could hit a million million when everyone least expect it, even in the current cycle. These comments represent a Peter shift from his earlier general predictions which lacked any specific years or structured explanations. Now he backs his forecast with measurable milestones and expected yearly gains 150 GS a year. Send it his latest message reflects a clearer stance based on defined market behavioral patterns. Previous years Mao predicted a quicker surge to 1 million based on major industry events. He named the 2024 Bitcoin having the launch of the spot Bitcoin E test as the key catalysts. These he said would trigger a supply and demand shock. He anticipated that the limited supply rising demand could drive the biddy price sharply higher. He also tied his past forecast to the hypothetical approval of the U S National Bitcoin Reserve. However, such policy has not materialized to date, even though Trump signed the executive order has been a little lackluster. I guess there's always bureaucracy within the government. But yeah, again, 150 per year we can really get to the 2031 target. I still am very bullish in the sense we get there a lot earlier. I'm a firm believer that by the year 2029 Bitcoin will be a million per coin. But you guys got to let me know your thoughts on that and I'll explain deeper why I come to that conclusion. So while bitcoin did not break 120 last year, no, that's actually false. We hit 1263 on October 6th. Get your together Coin Central but anyways, Mao is suggesting bitcoin may move faster if certain triggers align sooner than expected. He pointed to the ongoing interest of the Bitcoin ETFs and the macroeconomic shifts. No, and that's a good point. The bitcoin ETF demand is outpacing supply by a factor of three to one. I covered this in a episode a couple of shows ago. So anyways, let me know your thoughts on his personal target. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Can you see Bitcoin steadily climbing 150,000 per year over the course of the next Few years till we get to a million per coin. Can you see a potential super cycle occurring within this cycle? Can you see hyper bitcoinization? Could you see the death of the dollar? Holler at your boy and I'll read your comments out loud. Welcome everyone to the Q and A segment of the live stream.

“There’s strong consensus from almost every price model the Bitcoin reaches $1,000,000... in 2031-2033. What does that look like mechanically? Number one: $150k per year steady, and number two: multi omega years plus some sideways years.”

Fully “citadel-pilled,” bullish, community-first, and uncompromisingly Bitcoin maximalist in style. Frequent use of insider slang (biddy, SAT stacking, etc.), playful bantering with co-host/producer, and a relentless anti-fiat, anti-banker attitude.
A punchy, informative episode for Bitcoin veterans and newcomers alike. The highlight: Samson Mow’s detailed $1M timeline gives maximalists a new set of “omega candle” metrics to follow. The show blends price action, on-chain fundamentals, regulatory intrigue, and irreverent, musical celebration—demonstrating why “stackin’ sats isn’t advice, it’s a way of life.”
