Happy SAS Stacking Sunday welcome everyone to the number one daily Bitcoin pod. In today's show I got the ultimate ultimate price prediction. Blockstream CEO says 1.5 million dollar gold parity forecast is on point. He actually just shared this stunning the Miami conference. I'll be breaking down the 1.5 million bitty price prediction. Also crypto expert Plan B of the stock to flow model predicts bitcoin will hit 500,000 during this cycle. I'll be sharing his timeline and prediction. Also Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoin could get stolen by a bitcoin dev has proposed a solution in response to the quantum threats. We also discussed big news out of Florida. They passed the first state level stablecoin bill is the Crypto Clarity Act. Next we'll also discuss Crypto gets a boost in Trump's new National Cyber Security as well as spot Bitcoin ETFs post the second straight weekly inflows for the first time in five months we'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market. All this plus so much more right here in today's show. Today is March 8, 2026. This is Pot Episode 2274. I'm your host JV alongside the Fed Chair Nipinator keeping them nip. We have lots to cover so let's dive right into our feature story of the day. This is the Bitcoin price prediction Blockstream CEO Adam Back. He has a 1.5 million gold parity forecast which stuns the Miami conference. Let's break this down and as a Bonus also have a 500000 Bitcoin price prediction from crater to the stock to flow model Plan B and we'll break that down as well. But first and foremost let's dive in Miami, Florida is suggesting crypto to reach 1.5. Obviously the king crypto which is Bitcoin if it achieves the gold market capitalization. This forecast immediately captured atten attention from investors and analysts. Back, which I'm sure you're familiar with, is a pioneering cryptographer. Early Bitcoin contributor presented his analysis during the keynote address explaining Bitcoin's decade long performance trajectory. His comments arrived during the period of significant institutional adoption and regulatory evolution within the digital asset market. So let's do a little analyzing, shall we? Adam Back's projection rest on straightforward mathematical comparison between Bitcoin and gold. Currently gold maintains total market cap exceeding 15 trillion globally. Now my understanding is the total, you know, collective gold market cap recently surpassed 40 trillion. Maybe this is actual physical gold because as you know, you know a much larger amount trades through derivatives and futures and things like that which are basically gold IOUs. Just like with Bitcoin futures and ETFs they're not necessarily holding the underlying asset themselves, but anyways Bitcoin circulating supply will eventually reach 21 million coins. Consequently dividing gold's market value by the Bitcoin maximum supply yields a theoretical price near 1.5 million per coin. Also like to point out as many of you know one bitcoin is divisible by 100 million satoshis which we commonly refer to as SATs. So by the time it's one set per dollar parody, we're talking a hundred million dollar Bitcoin price. I just want to point that out. Now back emphasizes this represents a long term potential scenario rather than an immediate forecast. Note in Bitcoin must capture significant portions of gold's traditional store value to approach this valuation. And furthermore he acknowledged various economic and technological factors could influence the this trajectory. The Blockstream CEO provided historical context for the analysis, specifically highlighting Bitcoin's performance over the previous decade. During that period Bitcoin demonstrated superior growth compared to traditional asset classes including stocks, bonds and commodities. Keeping it one hun, Bitcoin outperformed every other asset class known to mankind, making Bitcoin the most appreciative asset in human history. Like Bitcoin's literally up hundreds of millions of percent since the inception of the Genesis block. Now back describe Bitcoin as the only asset recording such exponential performance consistently. Absolutely. Nevertheless, caution and investors must adapt to the Bitcoin inherent volatility which we all recognize as life force. A sailor once coined as volatility does equal opportunity. It's not a bad thing, especially when we're trending to the upside over the long haul and the bigger picture. I like to point out with bitcoin it's mathematically guaranteed to increase your purchasing power against the dollar, whereas the dollar's the polar opposite. You're guaranteed to lose purchasing power with the dollar. And that's why many investors are going to, you know, crypto such as bitcoin. This volatility reflects both assets, relative youth and evolving market structure. Analysts consider such volatility pretty typical for emerging tech assets during adoption phases. That's right. I'll take the volatility with, with, you know, the compounding upside any day of the week. The comparison between bitcoin and gold represents a fundamental narrative within the market. Gold has served as a store of value for hundreds of years, I dare say thousands of years. You know. Conversely, bitcoin represents a digital alternative with distinct technological advan advantages. The biggest advantage, first and foremost, true scarcity. With Bitcoin 21 million finite limited supply. For the first time in human history, we have a form of money where they can't create more of out of thin air like dollars or digital dollar. CBDCs coming soon to a theater near you. Another major factor unconfiscatable. You know, if you trust the lizard folks and Epstein's clients running the show, then it's a different story. But if you're skeptical of them and don't trust them, then you know, Bitcoin's the solution. Clearly these advantages include verifiable scarcity as I reference global transferability, resistance to confiscation, that's massive. However, gold maintains physical tangibility and in industrial applications beyond monetary functions, analysts debate whether both assets can coexist or whether one might gradually displace the other within investment portfolios. I don't think just keeping it real. Gold ain't going nowhere. It's been around for thousands of years. Can bitcoin and gold both be stores of value? Sure. Gold is the baby boomers store value and bitcoin is, you know, for the kids, the future. Just saying. But yeah, of course both will always exist and it doesn't mean for bitcoin to be successful, you know, that all the money will flow out of gold into bitcoin. Both are going to coexist, you know, but anyways, recent market developments suggest increasing institutional interest in both assets. Yeah, the biggest losers, the fiat major financial institutions now offer bitcoin investment products alongside traditional gold offerings via the ETFs. Expert perspectives on market cap comparisons. I do firmly believe the bitcoin market cap is still in its infancy stages.

One between 1.3 and 1.4 trillion, which is nothing on the broad spectrum of how much money is in existence and you know, markets like real estate and gold etc, it just shows you gold has that much more upside potential. You know what I mean Bitcoin's Decade of Extraordinary Growth Performance Adam Back highlighted the Bitcoin remarkable growth over the past decade during his Miami Present. Statistical analysis confirms the Bitcoin outperformance relative to traditional assets during this period. Here's an example. Bitcoin achieved compound annual growth rates exceeding those major stock indices. This performance occurred despite multiple significant market corrections exceeding 50%. Such volatility patterns resemble the early stage technological adoption curves rather than mature asset behavior. The following table illustrates comparative performance metrics between 2016 and in 2026. Shows Bitcoin approximate total return 15,000% as an asset class annualized volatility at 75%. Meanwhile, compare that to the S&P only 180% gain. You know annualized volatility 18% gold 85% approximate total return over a decade 15 annualized volatility versus the US 10 year treasury, which is only a total approximate return of 25 with 8% annualized volatility. So the question remains, do you prefer the 15000 gains with a little more volatility or do you want the modest 85 gain with very itty bitty volatility? I mean, it's a no brainer right now. These figures demonstrate Bitcoin's exceptional returns alongside sustainability and higher volatility. Obviously and let's dive a little deeper. Key technological advantages of the Bitcoin Verifiable scarcity. I reference decentralized security. It's the most secure network in the world. Transparent protocol, open source, auditable by anyone at any time. Portability. It's borderless. Digital transfers across borders without physical constraints. Unlike gold. And the visibility As I already referenced each bitcoin divisible by 100 million satoshi and again by the time it's sat per dollar we're talking $100 million bitty. Conclusion Adam Back's bitcoin price prediction of 1.5 million based on the gold market cap provides a compelling long term framework for valuation analysis. Next story of the day. Plan B, creator of the bitcoin stock to flow model predicts Bitcoin hitting 500,000 during this cycle. And he also just recently shared this tweet. So let's start right here. Timestamp March 8 which is today 200,000 views 8:53am he wrote Bitcoin and 67J's stock to flow model screams 500000 average this cycle between 2024, 2028. Is Bitcoin massively undervalued and the ultimate buy opportunity? Or is the stock the flow broken forever? What's your take? Bull or bust? I'm glad you asked. Here's my take. It is going up forever. Stock to flow model. You know it's a model. They're all flawed to some extent, but overall stock to flow has been pretty accurate, you know, for a while. Until it wasn't. Here's the deal. The Nip Anator indicator, the Nip andator licking indicator is the only Bitcoin indicator with 100 accuracy. Sorry, plan B, sorry stock to flow. But you can't all be cracked 100% of the time. Only the nip. Now we got the facts out there and we laid it out. Let's dive a little deeper. 500 G's baby baby. Plan B Crater stock to flow reaffirm his prediction that the asset will achieve an average of 500,000 during this cycle. Again between 2024 and 20 on average. And we're already in 2026. Notably, stock to flow framework assesses the bitcoin value based on the scarcity, comparing the existing supply to the rate of new issuance. So stock to flow is ultimately supply demand. Pretty simple concept having events reduce the mining rewards every four years. We recently had one in 2024, the next one will be in 2028. Progressively increasing the ratio and have historically correlated with substantial price appreciation prior cycles. Plan B's analysis paralysis incorporates this dynamic projecting a broad range of 250 Js to 1 million for this period with the average being 500,000 per bitty serving as the approximate midpoint average. That's right. As outlined here in the chart. Stock the flow how far will she go? The forecast aligns with the model's performance during the 20202024 cycle when it projected an average near 55Gs, while the actual figure settled around 34,000, still within an acceptable variance according to Plan B. He argued that the approach remains effective citing consistent directional accuracy across multiple cycles despite the short term deviations. The outlook Examine Bitcoin's historical trajectory alongside key indicators such as the 200 we moving average realized price stock to flow projection for the 20242028 period. Now, in hindsight my understanding is it was always on point up until the black Swan event of Novid in 2020. It did not foresee that. And that's when it kind of went off its trajectory. You know what I mean? But up until that point it was always extremely accurate. So I think things have shifted since that time and especially with the institutional adoption and other some other things. But the analysis is all overlaid with the current price of the relative strength index, which we know is the RSI coloring the highlight momentum suggesting potential upside if historical patterns persists. Plan B noted the model focuses on cycle averages rather than the exact peaks and troughs framing current levels. It's a potential buying window for investors aligned with the long term scarcity thesis. My master thesis as nobody can see this Bitcoin genius. I got it sewn like a seamstress messing with nipinators. Like trying to play chess without the pieces. And you got hit with the nip boom bat right there. I hit him with the nip boom bat. Okay. Next story of the day. Yo. Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoin could get stolen. Oh no. But at Bitcoin Dev proposed the solution. Hopefully it's not a lizard folk tricking us. Let's see. Nakamoto's Bitcoin holdings risk getting stolen as a quantum threat becomes more of a possibility. Bitcoin developer Hunter Based. Anyone with the name Based I just automatically reject and don't trust it. Kind of gives me that feeling of Jimmy Donaldson. Mr. Based. I don't like the word based, but that's just me. He has notably proposed an Hourglass V2 proposal amid debates on one of the best way to handle the Satoshi supply to mitigate the impact of the cell pressure the bitcoin could face if these coins get stolen. And just by the name, I'm almost already rejecting whatever he's about to propose, which I have no clue he's what are you about to propose? But let's give him a go. We'll give him a chance. Let's see.

Has proposed version 2 of the Hourglass proposal, which aims to reduce the pay to public output that can be included in transaction inputs to one bitcoin per block. It's worth noting Satoshi's Bitcoin stash has around 1.1 million bitcoin and is a peer to peer address which exposes the public key, making it more vulnerable to the quantum attacks. And what they're trying to say here is yeah, the biggest honey pot of all bitcoin would be Satoshi's wallets. But my understanding it's not one wallet with 1.1 million Bitcoin. My understanding has tens of thousands of wallets scattered across the crypto sphere. You know what I mean? So, but I digress. Let's dive a little deeper. Let's give this beast a chance. A chain analysis report revealed 718 billion of Bitcoin held in addresses vulnerable to quantum attacks, including these P2PK addresses. And as such, bitcoin could face unprecedented supply shock if these coins get stolen by the quantum attackers. Beast is Hourglass proposed aims to minimize selling pressure to the barest minimum, while also offering compromise whether to freeze or burn Satoshi's coins to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. The Hourglass v2 proposal also noted burning or freezing of these coins may be viewed as confiscatory, which could set a dangerous precedent for changing Bitcoin's monetary policy. And you hit the nail on the head. We don't need to change the bitcoin monetary policy. A damn beast. If activated, the Hourglass v2 proposal will ensure only the P2PK output may be included as a transaction input per block. Furthermore, no P2PK outputs to any addresses not currently being spent from can be created, and lastly, no P2PK outputs can be created from other output types. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that this proposal applies to P2PK addresses and other outputs vulnerable to quantum threats remaining at risk. This is because putting similar restrictions on other output types may limit the transition to quantum resistant bitcoin addresses. These other output types are still commonly used, unlike Satoshi Nakamoto's P2PK address, which makes the latter easy to sunset. You know Rationale for the proposal the Hourglass v2 proposal will limit the P2PK output to approximately 144 BTC per day. Beast noted. This should effectively mitigate the market impacts of quantum attacks on these coins since the quantum attackers won't be able to dump all the bitties at once. Without such restrictions, over 6000 P2PK transactions could be executed in each block, releasing over 300000 Bitcoin per block to the market. At such a rate, all the P2PK coins, including satoshis, could be spent in a few hours. However, under the rules of the Hourglass v2, it would take more than 32 years to move all the P2 PK coins, which drastically reduced the quantum related market risks. A positive is the original key holders such as Satoshi should remain able to remove their coins even after the proposal is activated, as long as no quantum actors are currently competing for these particular transactions. I'm always skeptical about all proposals and again, I'm very extremely skeptical about anyone that uses the name based. So skeptical is my initial reaction. Next story bro. Big news out of Florida passes the first state level stablecoin bill with the Crypto Clarity Act. Be next. Thoughts? Let me know so Friday Samuel Armes, founder of the Florida Blockchain Biz Association Web3 advocacy group, announced the bill. I ain't talking kill bill, but I wouldn't mind bill being killed. Establishing a regulatory framework for stable coins passed the state legislature, according to the vocal crypto advocate. The bill, named The Senate Bill 314 will be signed by Governor Ron DeSantis over the coming weeks. My question is how many times is Ron DeSantis reference in the Epstein drop? You guys tell me. Senate Bill 314 along with the Florida House Bill 175 aims to establish a regulatory framework for payment stablecoin issuers in the state. According to the Republican Florida State Senator Colleen Burton, this regulatory framework aligns with the federal level Genius act will include consumer protection and Financial stability guidelines. This is history being made. We're now the first state to pass the stablecoin framework of the nation. The nation celebration. It has now passed the Senate in the House, will be signed by DeSantis within 30 days. You know, how is this able to happen? Well because we are literally I guess there's a picture and to see the picture I gotta click it of course. What's the picture? Oh, here's the actual video of them passing this with the legislation. That's actually cool. Florida's been the leader of the bitcoin world and will continue to be the leader to ensure we're the bitcoin capital of the United States in the world. They all want a piece of the, the bitcoin pumpkin piece, you know. Yeah. So that's actually kind of cool. The genius act was also signed into law July of 2025 providing a framework for stablecoin issuance in the U S while providing a foundation for states like Florida set up their own crypto based regulatory structure. However, I'll be quite honest with you, I'm not a big fan of the stablecoin bills because I understand how they're going to manipulate the stable coins to serve the purpose of the CBDCs which are the central bank digital currencies. I know I'm preaching to the choir but. But trust nothing, nobody. You know, trust Jesus, trust God and trust the Fed chair nip. That's as far as it goes. You know interestingly the first state level stablecoin bill is passed at a time when the conversations around the broader market structure for the crypto legislation, the Clarity act are at an all time high. Despite an approved U.S. house draft legislation has yet to pass the Senate partly due to the banking industry's concerns over the yield bearing stable coins. The then Tuesday Trump said the banking industry is trying to undermine the genius act and hold the Clarity act hostage in the domination. Trump stated that the banks need to make a good deal with the crypto industry. Who's representing us for the crypto industry? Unfortunately it's like let's think about that. We got like Brad Garlinghouse CEO Ripple. We got Hoskinson CEO of the Cardano. These moos, you know the beauty of the bitcoin? There is no fucking CEO Satoshi for the win. Take that evil doers. Next story of the day crypto gets a boosty boost and Trump's new national cyber strategy Trump on the headlines again. New national cyber strategy names crypto and blockchain once the frames them as the text the government must protect and secure while also directing agencies to disrupt criminal uses that ride those systems. Now it's like we don't need the government to protect and secure Bitcoin. It's the most secure network that ever exists, with or without the government. But ironic enough, let's continue.

The strategy does not make crypto a central pillar. Instead, it tucks a single reference to the blockchain and the crypto and a broader goal about hardening tech and supply chains. According to the White House Doc, the priority is defensive. Bolster security around these systems, reducing the ability of bad actors. You know, give me an example of a bad actor. You tell me in the chat who's the worst actor out there to use the crypto to launder the money or to flee enforcement? That single line has industry watchers talking. Reports indicate some see value and explicit recognition, bringing the blockchain into federal cyber planning for the first time. Again, trust nothing, nobody. Whatever they're planning, it's probably best. Repstein's clients not good for humanity. But that's my take on everything in this world. Little disclaimer Alex Thorne says the White House just released President Trump's Cyber Strategy for America. Seven pages, six pillars, heavy on offense, deterrence rhetoric, light on implementation details. And then he does a long thread. But I'll just give you kind of like the gist. Reports say others worry the same language could be used to justify heavier enforcement. Bingo. Was his name BO against services and tools Government labels criminal infrastructure. You know the government's perfect scenarios considering everyone a terrorist, putting everyone behind bars. Prison planet prophesized by Alex Jones, Info warrior decades ago. Now what? Industry leaders are pointing out private sector voices emphasize symbolism over substance.

Symbolism is the first language of this Earth and the elite, including Epstein's clients. That's going to be their downfall because they all overuse the symbolism hidden in plain sight. And I trust the symbolism over any thing they say because our government is corrupt mofos. Let's got to throw that out. There Mark says this just happened. It's super bullish for crypto. White House just released President Trump new cyber strategy for America to report directly positions crypto blockchain strategic tech US must secure to lead globally. Will we be the leader? That's the question. Strategy pairs crypto with other priorities like AI, quantum readiness, federal IT modernization officials wrote. Securing federal networks critical systems remains top of the aim with crypto folded into the security mission. Now the document also instructs agencies to disrupt criminal networks. Let's start with the Epstein network government Now a line that could be read as a permission for tougher action against the crypto enabled illicit finance. You know who's doing illicit finance? J.P. morgan, you know Jamie Damon. Research these mofos. That was actually Epstein's banking institution. But I'm just saying short term the practical impact may be limited. Agencies will likely interpret the language in line with existing enforcement priorities with focus on the mixers. Lord forbid you use a mixer, you're going to be labeled a terrorist. Anti money laundering, tax avoidance. Now market participants that depend on regulatory clarity saw they want more specific guidance. Here's my you know two satoshis. We don't need the government for anything. In fact I don't want the government even involved in crypto anymore. Let's get the out kicking you out, you know, sick of nip. But anyways next story of the day Spot bitcoin test post second straight weekly inflows for the first time in five months and to celebrate or smoke five blunts will bring facts. Spot bitcoin test attracted 568 million in net inflows this week. The products also posted positive flows of 787 million in the previous week showing renewed investor appetite after several weeks of sustained outflows. Before the recent turnaround, US spot Bitcoin ETFs endured a prolonged period of investor withdrawals recording roughly, excuse me, 4 billion of cumulative outflows over the five week streak. The biggest weekly withdrawal during a streak occurring in the week ending January 30th when the SPOT Bitcoin test recorded one and a half billion of net outflows. Daily flows were mixed during the week. Spot bacon ETS recorded almost 500 million on Monday followed by 225 million on a taco Tuesday and a larger 461 million on a hump Wednesday. The momentum reverse in the final sessions with the funds region. 227 million on Thirsty Throwback Thursday and 348 million in redemptions on TGIF Friday. US spot Ether ETFs also recorded their second consecutive week of net inflows. But who cares about the ether just keeping it real. Bitcoin ETFs match 15 years Gold ETF inflows in just 2 years According to Fernando Blockstream, Director of marketing, noting the Bitcoin ETFs have already matched roughly 15 years accumulative inflows seen by the goal ETFs in less than two years despite gold having decade and a half head start in the ETF market just goes to show you how successful the Bitcoin ETF products have been. He also added the milestone occurring during a 46% bitty drawdown and several months of negative price performance, arguing institutional demand remains strong even amid the market weakness. This he says Anyone still arguing about whether bitcoin is digital gold is wasting their breath. Bitcoin isn't trying to be gold. Bitcoin is making gold look slow. And if you don't know, now you know. According to High Priest, gold is the poor man's bitcoin.
