I'm your host JV but yeah, bitcoins continuing the momentum from yesterday which is nice. We had a nice pumpy pump on Friday and we did touch 70,500 already today. We cracked it at itty bit. We're still up over a thousand on the day. Sitting at roughly 698 at the time of the live. Let's kick it off with our market watch. As you can see here on the screen we got bitcoin ether, xrp, virtually all the major cryptos pumping it in the green today. We love to see it like this. One of the top gainers here is Zcash is up 13% and maybe cut off on the screen. So that's why I'm letting you know Pepe is also a big gainer. 22% for the top top coins. XRP is a top gainer at roughly 6 and a half percent on the day. Checking out coin market cap dot com. The crypto market cap is up 3%. It's currently 2.39 trillion. Bitcoin market cap is it's back on the rise at least almost 1.4 trillion today. And checking out top 100 crypto gainers past 24 hours. Pippen leading the pack 25% followed by the Pepe up 23% followed by the Pudgy Penguins up 18%. Checking out the crypto greed and fear index. We did bottom out at a six last week. Right now we're a nine. We're still in extreme fear same as yesterday and last month it was a 61 in greed. Silver lining. The lower this goes in extreme fear the more likely of really of a relief rally like we recently experienced after we crashed the 599 we immediately jumped 10000 the next day, you know to 70 and then we consolidated tested 65. It held up thank God and now we're working our way back up. Currently close to 7Gs at the time of the live. Checking out the infamous time chain calendar. Today's block height 936,595 and you could exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 1432 SATs. So you know what to do. You pick up the sats, put down the gas, pick up some bitcoin caps from a man Sergio over@bitcoin caps.net let's continue. Let's dive into some of the live charts. As you can see here we'll do some live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction, Bo Jackson. Today we're dedicated to the Brosis. Here you can see on the one hour chart we're sitting just above 698. We did get a lot of bullish momentum since Friday continuing into Sat stack and Saturday, which is cool. Checking it out on the four hour, you're going to notice big green candle yesterday or sorry, two days ago, big green candle or actually three days ago, big green candle. Then we had the correct of red. Then Friday we continue with the bullish momentum and here we're trading sideways on the day, little bit checking out the daily. You're going to notice big green candle on the day yesterday, big green candle. So my apologies, for some reason I was assuming the four hour was the one day, but the four hour was previous. This is the one day which makes more sense now looking at it. So you can see there's a big green candle on the day continuing the bullish momentum. Yesterday was a green candle and then the previous four or five days prior it's been all corrective Red took us back down to the 64, 65,000 low. And the current bottom for the cycle we achieved last week was around. Around 59.9. We can round up say 60 G's is the local bottom currently for the cycle. Checking out the weekly do note tomorrow we do get a weekly close. You do notice it's in the red currently. So unless we continue to pump, we will close in the red. But we're so close to reversing it. So maybe if we can climb to 72, we'll probably close in the red. But I don't know if we'll get that much momentum by tomorrow. We shall see. You will notice last week big red candle. The week prior big red candle. Week prior big red candle. So it's been very corrective for the past three weeks at least. Checking out the monthly five months of corrective red candles. With February being the fifth month still early, we're only halfway in. Today is the 14th. Literally. We got 28 days of this month. So halfway through we formed the red candle. But that doesn't mean we have to end with the red candle. Let me know if you think things will change. Reverse holler at your boy. And next up we'll do a little ta Bitcoin bulls blitz. 69 GS as retail traders. Pressure to short positioning. You can't short your dorks. Don't be our targeted Bitcoin has pushed above the upper boundary of the descending channel. Retesting 69G's baby. The move marks a potential bullish break of the structure. If bitcoin holds above 68, 000 bitcoin holds above the reclaim level. The Next internal Liquidity zone sits at 71, 5 and 74. The 50100 period exponential moving average are now compressing beneath the price of the one hour chart, reinforcing the possibility of short term momentum continuing the latest price surge triggered about 96 million in futures liquidations over the past couple of hours, or I should say past four hours, with nearly 92 million coming from the shorts, signaling a short squeeze on the bearish trades. Bitcoin liquidations are primarily concentrated on Bybit, Hyper Liquid and Gate, suggesting platforms account for the significant share of the active leverage positioning in the market. This breakout is supported by the steady buying from the smaller sized investors. Order flow data from High Block shows the small wallets have accumulated 613 million in CVD in February, which is the cumulative volume delta consistently bidding during the price correction. The midsize wallets remain about negative 216 million for the month, but the cohort added 300 million since Bitcoin fell below 60,000, suggesting selective accumulation during the discounted periods. Whale wallets, which are 100,000 and above, saw their CVD bottom near 5.8 billion earlier in February and have since moved sideways. This stabilization implies that the aggressive distribution has paused, though a clear accumulation trend from the large holders has yet to emerge. So for the rally to continue, WH buying may need to return and the short term huddler spent output profit ratio, which is SOR, may need to move back above a 1, signaling the recent buyers are no longer selling at a loss. Notably, the short term huddler so recently fell to the lowest level Since November of 2022, which is outlined here on the chart indicating that many recent buyers have been realizing the losses, a sign that conviction may remain fragile despite the rebound. And there you go yo. But let's continue. Next story Bitcoin huddlers are being tested at the inflation as it eases, according to Anthony Pompliano.

You said this on Fox Business on Thursday. Can you still believe in what Bitcoin's value proposition is, which is that it is a finite supply asset. If they print money, Bitcoin going higher the doing doing Bitcoin and gold are great long term things, he said. The CPI, a widely used measure of inflation, fell to 2 point in January from 2.7% back in December and according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics chief Economist said that inflation looked better on paper than in reality. Bitcoin typically seen as a hedge against inflation because we all know there's only 21 million coins will ever exist. When central banks increase the money supply and the value of the fiat declines, investors often turn to perceive riskier assets such as Bitcoin to protect their purchasing power. It comes as sentiment for Bitcoin has reached multi year lows not seen since June of 2022 with the Crypt and Fear Index now hitting a 6 which is the local low for the cycle. And we got Bitcoin just shy of 70 GS again at the time of the live we are up, you know, looking to regain above 70 which we already tapped this morning, 70,500. Pompano said the macro environment can create the short term volatility for Bitcoin before it resumes the upwards trajectory. Quoting them here, we're going to get deflationary type forces in the short term or we're not. Oh no, he says. We are going to get people are going to ask to print the money and to drop the interest rates, he explained this will lead to the devaluation of the dollar, though the effect won't be immediately visible. He goes on to share the currency is going to be devalued at a time where deflation covers up the impact. So I call it a monetary slingshot. Pompano focus that the Fed forecasted will continue to expand the money supply to deal with inflation, but the dollar faces value further devaluation. He expects Bitcoin to become more valuable than ever, naturally. Meanwhile, the US Dollar index, which tracks the dollar strength against the basket of major currency currencies, is down another 2.3% over the past 30 days. Not a good look for the dollar, which is the dxy pretty little money printer go burr is what he's ultimately saying. And nothing's going to be able to stop that. It's just going to make Bitcoin that much more valuable. Also, I want to reference something. Yesterday I asked Groke on X. You know you can tag, grow, can ask things. I uploaded yesterday's price action. We were just shy of 69 and I asked what will the price be in 10 years? Or sorry I said 11 years because my favorite number and grok estimated. Estimated or predicted I should say and they gave a chart and I posted it. Let me know if you saw it. They're predicting 1.25 million per coin in 11 years. So I said for the of it, what about in 25 years? And it gave me over a billion dollar per coin prediction. Anyways, we shall continue. Next up yo Headline reads Trump media files for two new crypto ETFs tied to Bitcoin, Ether and Kronos that's right, Trump's media conglomerate Trump Media and Tech Group file paperwork with the US SEC for two new ETFs linked to two major cryptos, according to the Friday announcement by the Truth Social funds arm. The company plans to launch the True Social Bitcoin and Ether ETF alongside the Truth Social Kronos Yield Maximizer etf. The filing has not yet taken effect and remains subject to the SEC won't let me be a let CZ free, Please let him be. You know we plan to provide an investment platform for the investors covering the multiple aspects of digital crypto investing with both capital appreciation and income opportunities. You know, which will act as investment advisor for both the funds. The funds would be developed in partnership with crypto exchange crypto.com which is expected to provide the custody, liquidity and stake and services if regulators approve the products. And naturally, regulators hate yield generating products. As you know, investors would access the ETS through the exchange brokers dealer Forest Capital, each product expected to charge a 0.95% management fee, roughly 1% there proposed ETFs to track the Bitty, the Ether and the CRO with staking rewards. And again, the banksters hate staking. The Bitcoin and Ether fund aims to track the combined performance of the two largest cryptos by market cap, also capturing staking rewards generated by Ether. The Kronos Yield Maximizer ETF is designed to follow the performance of CRO, which is the native token of Crypto.com and include staking income. Trump Media, best known for operating the True Social network, has increasingly explored crypto initiatives and last year April, Trump Media announced a deal with crypto.com and Yorkville American Digital to launch a set of the made in America ETFs combining digital assets and traditional securitized, including sectors such as energy. How many of you remember the infamous Trump mugshot collection? I think he had three or four ETFs now. In September, the firm also reached the deal with crypto.com creating a joint treasury entity centering on accumulating the CRO token, beginning with an initial purchase of 684 million CRO worth roughly 105 million through a mix of stock and cash. Meanwhile, the Spot Bitcoin ATFC Weeks of Consecutive outflows spot bacon ETFs have seen four consecutive weeks of outflows, with the latest weekly figure showing 360 million worth of the withdrawals. The data also shows volatile negative flows across late January early February. The largest recent withdrawal included 817 million Jan 29, 509 million Jan 30 and 544 million Feb 4. Positive sessions were smaller, such as inflows of 561 million Feb 2, 371 million Feb 6, 160 million Feb 10 and 145 mil for Feb 9 with only 15 million entering on Friday. If you don't know now you know. You know. Go bitcoin today, says Michael Saylor, a warning on broken money. You have been warned. That's right. According to the reports, you can't short your dorks. Strategy holds 714000 of the biddy. The average cost of the stash is 76 per coin, which means they're currently underwater with bitcoin trading just shy of 70 GS at the time of the live what is the giga chat gonna do? Is he worried? I think not. Recent filings show another 1100 Bitcoin bought this month at 78 each for 90 million total. Today's trading levels near 68. The position shows an estimated unrealized loss and that's the key word. Unrealized loss means there's no real loss. It has not been realized. It's temporary glitch of the matrix of 6 billion. While the reported book value of the holdings is 54 billion at nearly 6 years of steady accumulation. That's right. He started all the way back in 2020, the first publicly traded company to put a video on the balance sheet. Public companies together are reported to hold another 1.13 million of the BTC strategy makes up almost two thirds thirds of that total. So there's no one even remotely close when it comes to corporations holding bitcoin on the balance sheet. The only force as far as ETF issuer, which would be BlackRock. You know they have more bitcoin than strategy, but that's like the only company in the world and that's due to the ETF. Just FYI. Reports note close to 200 public firms now wholesome bitcoin and Sailor was the first the first to do so. Though most of the new buying in January was concentrated in a very small group, one company leads the herd by a long margin. Sailor's message isn't just rhetoric. Reports have disclosed that strategy follows a long range plan that issues a seven year road map disclosed in its Q4 2025 filing, which aims to raise Bitcoin per share by 2032 based on various yield scenarios. The firm's playbook is a simple buy on the dips and avoid the selling. The mantra is repeated Buy the biddy, do not sell. Buy the biddy, do not sell. Buy the biddy and do not sell.

That should be the next tracky track. That posture has the consequences. Some see it as a show of commitment that can encourage other firms and big investors to act similarly. And that's why there's 200 corporate hodlers of bitcoin now. Others view it as a heavy concentration of the corporate exposure as a source of the market fragility. If strategy were to change course unexpectedly, the price could peter shift fast. Liquidity matters. That risk is understated when the focus is only on conviction. Bitcoin lives matter. Just saying. Reports say that the firm's buying has been so large that it dominated the corporate editions in January, accounting for more than 90% the new corporate Bitcoin purchases that month. That level of dominance brings a scrutiny. Questions have been raised about the governance, the balance sheet risk and what the long term holding means for the shareholders who expect stable returns. Some critics argue a company piling into a volatile asset creates a mismatch with traditional corporate responsibilities. But at the same time, supporters argue that patient ownership of Bitcoin can protect against long term currency erosion. This is the case sailor makes. Losses on paper are temporary if the thesis holds and a time is an ally for those convinced, a Bitcoin store value case and there you go. Yo, there's some wise words from the Gigachad. Next up, U S Treasury Secretary urges the Congress to pass the Crypto market structure bill in the spring, followed by Brazil reviving strategic video Reserve plan targeting a purchase of up to a million of the btz. Watch out Trump. Brazil's looking to stack. What are you going to do about that? Two more stories Fam. Next up, U. S Treasury Secretary urges Congress to pass the Crypto Market Structure bill this spring. That's right. I dare say my one of my favorite films is Kill Bill. And speaking of Kill Bill, I'll let you use your imagination there on who I'm referencing. The U S. Secretary of the treasury has called for the passage along the way to Crypto market structure bill this spring to provide reassurance in the industry amid the recent market volatility. Oh no. On Friday, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson urged the US Lawmakers to pass the stalled crypto market structure bill, highlighting the importance of getting the legislation on Trump's desk before the end of the spring legislative window. In the CNBC interview, Besson affirmed that part of the recent market volatility was self induced due to the reaction of some of the industry participants to bill. For example, Armstrong said that I'm not signing that. That'll set us back, you know. He didn't like what it said. The bankers are in control trying to pass this along. He affirmed that some of the digital asset firms have been blocking it, which hasn't been good for the overall crypto community, notably the long awaited Clarity act, which has stalled for nearly a month after the Senate Banking Committee published the bill draft. The legislation was heavily criticized by industry leaders. That's what I was just referencing. People like Brian Armstrong. The Treasury Secretary considers the passing of the bill would give great comfort to the market at a time of significant volatility. Moreover, he pointed out, there's a bipartisan working group trying to advance the legislation with the Democrats. They want to work with the Republicans on getting the market structure bill. However, Bessant noted the chances speaking of Samson, getting the deal done could fall apart if Democrats take control of the House, highlighting the Biden admin's crackdown on the industry, quoting him here there's a lot of info that goes on adjacent to the crypto, the blockchain, the D5. So I think it's important to get this Clarity bill done as soon as possible and on the President's desk this spring. So do you think this will actually happen? Will it be on the President's desk by spring? Yay nay Holler in the comments. Similarly, we got Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the U S Presidential Council of Advisors for the Digital Assets discussing the progress on the crypto market structure bill on a Friday Speaking of Yahoo with stated were working hard to address these issues that were raised that led to the postponement of the markup and hopefully get back on the book soon. He highlighted the lawmakers were able to pass the Senate Agriculture Committee half of the Clarity act, which handles the CFTC's portion of the bill. The Crypto Council's Executive Director outlined that once the Senate Banking Committee's portion of the bill is passed, the two pieces of legislation will need to be reconciled before a final vote on the Senate floor. So more work to be done. But we need our a step closer with the passage of the Ag portion of this A couple of weeks ago, discussing who must advance the bill, whit affirmed that both sides would have to compromise. Best of luck with that. It's unfortunate this has become such a big issue because ultimately this is not the stablecoin bill that was the Genius Act. What we've encouraged both sides to do is find the middle ground. Let's use a scalpel here to address this narrow issue of the idle yield. But let's not take the chainsaw out. Let's not let this derail the bill. We got a kill bill. There's so much goodness in the bill no matter what your perspective is. Anyways, let me know your thoughts on this. Do you think there will be this passing? Will it go to the Trumpster's desk by spring? Will it pass? Will it get postponed and kick the can down the road? Holler and let me know and we're above 70 GS that's worthy of a gong strike. Foreign. Now for our feature story of the day. Brazil revised Strategic Bitcoin Reserve plan targeting a purchase of up to 1 million BTC so who will pull the trigger and do it first. Will it be Trump with USA? Will it be Brazil the first to acquire a million of the biddy. Let me know. So even as the bitcoin struggles with a weak price performance and FYI, we just surpassed 70 GS which is a beautiful sign. But there is what we call the global hash war, which was coined by Max Kaiser many years back when a lot of people were predicting that nation states would never adopt bitcoin. Etc, he said the opposite. He said no, it's going to create more scarcity because you know, supply, demand, it'll create a supply shock. Countries will want to be a part of this and not be left behind and it will have the opposite effect. And lo and behold, he was correct when everyone said no. US and them, they're not, they're not interested. No countries are very interested. And a great example would be El Salvador. Shout out President B. And now even the US with the strategic bitty reserve, the executive order of the Trumpster. And now we have all these other countries, we got the state adoption, etc. Etc. Etc. You feel me? So yeah. The renewed push comes through bill number 4501 of 2024, which lays out the framework for establishing what would be called the sovereign Strategic Reserve of Bitcoins. I dig it. The proposal seeks to formally integrate the Bitcoin into Brazil's broader form financial strategy, positioning the crypto as a component of the country's national reserves. The initiative is associated with the federal deputy Luis Gastau, while the bill itself is authored by the federal deputy Eros now lawmakers. They argue that holding the bitty could help shield Brazil's internal reserves from the currency volatility and geopolitical risk. In addition, the reserve would support the development of the CBDC's the Digital Real, also known as Drex. By providing an additional layer of backing, the proposal sets a clear limit on the scale of the initiative. It also would cap at 5% of the Brazil international reserves and any purchases would be carried out gradually under a structured acquisition plan. The bill emphasizes that the program must adhere strictly to the country's fiscal responsibility law, ensuring bitcoin purchases do not jeopardize public accounts of fiscal stability. The Bitcoin bill also proposes the formation of a specialized advisory committee composed of experts in the digital economy, blockchain tech and cyber security. It also allows for the creation of the inter institutional working groups to coordinate implementation and oversight.

Your first year terms apply on covered repairs, but beyond reserve management, the proposal outlines broader measures designed to strengthen Brazil's digital asset ecosystem. The text envisions educational initiatives and workforce training programs focused on blockchain and digital security, including the training of public servants. It also encourages the development of startups in the crypto and blockchain sectors, and calls for investment in robust tech infrastructure to support the innovation and secure the operations. Supporters of the bill argue that the concept draws on international precedence. The author cites examples such as El Salvador, Thy Savior of the United States, China, Dubai and the European Union, where the governments have incorporated crypto or blockchain tech into the public policy in various different ways. According to the proposals rationale, integrating digital assets into the national strategy can promote financial inclusion, attract investment, strengthen technological capability, and offer additional protection against exchange rate shocks. The bill's backers also point to Brazil's strong domestic adoption of crypto as a foundation for the leadership in the region. They contend that a strategic bitty reserve could position the country at the forefront of the digital finance in Latin America. And again, why this is so significant. It's the largest country with the largest population in all of Latin America. We're talking hundreds of millions of folks. This would be absolutely massive and help ushering in that game theory. Hence, the strategic Bitcoin reserve is ultimately what Max coined a very, very long time ago. It's the global hash war and it's playing out in real time. So who's going to win the global hash war?

Market sentiment, technical analysis, and regulatory updates round out the show, while memorable musical interludes and active listener participation inject levity and camaraderie. Overall, the episode serves as a rallying call for Bitcoiners to stay the course, stay sovereign, and "stack hard"—while keeping an eye on the most significant nation-state moves yet in Bitcoin adoption.
