"$10M Bitcoin Shock – Governments Scramble for BTC"

Date: March 20, 2026
Host: JV (Bitcoin News Alerts), with Co-host and guest analysts

---

Episode Overview

This intense episode circles around Michael Saylor's most provocative thesis yet: Bitcoin at $10 million per coin—not driven by retail, ETFs, or Wall Street, but by governments scrambling for strategic reserves. The hosts unpack Saylor’s argument, recent market developments, and the accelerating institutional “arms race” for Bitcoin. Updates also include ETF filings from Morgan Stanley, Coinbase’s new international offerings, a major high-tech smuggling scandal, and market analysis of Bitcoin vs. gold. The tone is high-energy, irreverent, and staunchly pro-Bitcoin maximalist.

Key Discussion Points

1. Michael Saylor’s $10M BTC Thesis: Not Retail, but Government FOMO (00:56–07:26)

• Saylor's central claim: If the world truly understood Bitcoin’s role as a strategic monetary asset, its price would immediately leap to $10 million per coin.
• Quote:

  "Volatility was a gift to the faithful. ... If people in the rest of the world knew what I know and they understood and they agreed with me, bitcoin would go to $10 million tomorrow. ... You would lose 20 years of stacking opportunity during which you get to buy at less than $10 million."
  —Michael Saylor (02:09)

• Volatility keeps normies and the already-rich on the sidelines, rewarding those committed enough to do the work.
• As governments wake up, competitive game-theory takes hold—no government wants to fall behind in accumulating Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
• Quote:

  "The next phase of Bitcoin adoption may not be driven by the retail investors... It may be driven by the governments."
  —Co-host (03:58)

Saylor's “Accumulation-Driven Price Formula”

• 5% of total BTC supply: Saylor claims Strategy (née MicroStrategy) is nearly there (~800k BTC), and if they get to 1 million coins (about 5%), BTC hits $1 million.
• 7% of supply: At this level, Saylor predicts $10 million per coin (04:00–07:22).
• This marks the shift from Bitcoin as speculative tech to a true global monetary reserve, competing directly with gold, sovereign funds, and even real estate.
• Supply shock scenario—most Bitcoin is held by long-term holders or lost, leaving little liquid BTC for government or institutional FOMO.
• Quote:

  "Once Bitcoin becomes a strategic reserve asset, governments face a terrifying reality: if another country accumulates Bitcoin first, they gain a massive monetary advantage."
  —Analyst/Commentator (04:42)

2. Institutional Arms Race: ETFs and Wall Street Influx (11:30–14:25)

• Morgan Stanley ETF update: Amended S1 filed for the MSBT Bitcoin ETF, with plans to list on NYSE Arca, initial $1M seed capital, and authorized participants lined up (11:30–12:31).
• Wall Street's “creeping embrace” of Bitcoin:
  • Vanguard (longtime skeptic) now allows clients to trade crypto ETFs.
  • BlackRock and Morgan Stanley have all recommended portfolio allocations (typically 2–4%).
  • Quote:

    "Two to four percent means you're skeptical... And I doubt you're skeptical if you've been watching my broadcast for the last eight years."
    —Analyst/Commentator (12:54)

• Growing mainstream access: now even IRAs and 401(k)s are getting Bitcoin allocation options.

3. Coinbase Launches 24/7 Stock Perpetuals (14:25–16:24)

• Coinbase now offers perpetual stock futures to non-U.S. traders—expanding beyond crypto and into round-the-clock access for major stocks like Apple and Nvidia (14:25–15:09).
• Described with signature snark:
  • "You know they understand you guys are degenerates. Not only do you like the shitcoin casino, but it's like we might as well add gambling." —Co-host (15:09)
• This is part of Coinbase’s 2026 global roadmap aiming to build an “everything exchange” for all asset classes, using stablecoins, base layer-2, and prediction markets (15:44–16:24).

4. Super Micro Co-founder Arrested in AI Chip Smuggling Case (16:25–20:37)

• Major tech industry news:
  • US DOJ alleges Super Micro co-founder and executives ran a $2.5bn smuggling operation to ship AI server chips to China in violation of export controls.
  • Company not officially charged, but stock price tumbles amid scandal (19:56–20:14).
  • "It seems there's always corruption at the top of everything... No different with the Department of Justice. Corrupt at the top, it's going to be corrupt at the bottom." —JV (20:14)
  • Details include fake paperwork, audit manipulation, and a fugitive on the run.

5. Market Analysis: Bitcoin vs. Gold (20:39–23:49)

• Recent RSI and MACD signals on the BTC/Gold ratio suggest a potential macro bottom for BTC vs. gold—potentially signaling explosive upside.

• Quote:

  "Money is leaving gold in real time and entering the btc. Yeah, I mean like bitcoin entering the Dragon."
  —Co-host (20:51)

• Analyst prediction: If patterns hold, a similar breakout as prior cycles could lead to BTC appreciating 700% from current levels against gold.

• Quote:

  "Bottom is in for bitcoin versus gold. The stage is set for the bitcoin recovery."
  —Analyst James Estro (21:50)

• Greed & Fear Index: Slides to "Extreme Fear" at 11, which hosts note is historically bullish for contrarians (23:45).

• Bitcoin market cap at just under $1.4 trillion, total crypto market at $2.39 trillion—still "mind-bogglingly" small versus the global asset base.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

All this plus so much more right

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

here in today's show. Today is Pod Episode 2285. I'm your host JV alongside Fed Chair Nip and today is 3-20-2026. Let's kick off today's show with with

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

the bullishness, shall we?

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Sailor just laid out a scenario. We're big on his 10 million per coin and it has nothing to do with the retail investors. But first I want you to listen very carefully to what Michael Saylor has to say.

[Michael Saylor]

Volatility was a gift to the faithful. It scares away the tourist. It scares away the lazy. It scares away the people that are already conventionally rich that have all the money. If you're a 20 something or a 30 something and you're willing to do the work, if you're willing to spend 100 hours or 200 hours, if you have more time than money, then the volatility of bitcoin is a gift to you. If you have more money than time and you're arrogant and egotistical and you just pick the obvious. Then if the volatility goes away, you buy Bitcoin. If people in the rest of the world knew what I know and they understood and they agreed with me, bitcoin would go to $10 million tomorrow. And if Bitcoin went to $10 million tomorrow, I want you to think about how you would feel and how your viewers would feel because you would lose 20 years of stacking opportunity during which you get to buy at less than $10 million. So the difference between $10 million and 100,000, that's what you give up. If the volatility goes away and people start to agree with you.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Let's dive deeper and break down this $10 million thesis. Saylor just dropped a scenario that should make every government on earth Pay attention. Not $500,000 Bitcoin, not even a million, but 10 million per coin. Saylor recently said something the entire Bitcoin community should really think about. And he said if bitcoin went to 10 million tomorrow, I want you to think about how you'd feel. Most people assume they'd feel rich, but

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

that's not the real question.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

The real question, would you still own

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

any Bitcoin at all?

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Because the next phase of Bitcoin adoption

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

may not be driven by the retail investors.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

It may not be driven by the ETFs, and it may not be driven by Wall Street. It may be driven by the governments. Sailor recently laid out the scenario that most people haven't fully processed yet. If Strategy manages to accumulate just 5% of the total Bitcoin supply, which he's very close it doing, he just needs like 200,000 more Bitcoin. FYI, he believes Bitcoin could reach a million per coin. But that number should make some people pause. Because if strategy reached 7% of the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin would reach 10 million per coin. You know, not just 10 million market cap, obviously 10 million per coin. And because of that point, Bitcoin stops competing with the tech stops and speculative

[Analyst/Commentator]

assets begins competing with the global monetary

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

reserves, including gold, which is a 36 trillion market cap. Treasury sovereign wealth fund cent central bank reserves as well as global real estate

[Analyst/Commentator]

bitcoins, the monetizing all these markets in real time and it's just beginning the entire financial system. And that's when the real game theory begins. Because once Bitcoin becomes a strategic reserve asset, governments face the terrifying reality. If another country accumulates Bitcoin first they gain a massive monetary advantage. Just like countries once competing to accumulate for gold reserves. Except Bitcoin's even more scarce. Only 21 million coins will ever exist and but the number actually available to buy obviously dramatically smaller. Millions of Bitcoin are permanently lost. Millions are held by long term huddlers or refuse to sell. Sailor is a great example. Strategy has close to 800,000 of those bitties. And every single day corporations, ETFs, hedge funds and institutions are quietly competing for what remains. Sailor described strategies role in the process in a way that sounded almost like infrastructure. Think of us as powering the the network up. Every company that adds Bitcoin to the treasury strengthens the network. Every institution allocating capital increases the liquidity. Every nation accumulating Bitcoin increases the geopolitical importance. For years governments ignored Bitcoin. Then they try to regulate it. Now they're realizing something much more dangerous. If another nation secures a large bitcoin reserve first they gain a strategic monetary weapon that cannot be printed in inflated or controlled. El Salvador bitcoin country, the first nation to signal this shift. But it almost certainly won't be the last. Because once Bitcoin's recognized as a strategic reserve asset, the incentives change overnight. No government wants to be the last country without it.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

FOMO like a mofo, as I say.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

And that's when the scramble begins.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Imagine what happens if only a handful of governments decided they wanted even 1%

[Analyst/Commentator]

of the Bitcoin supply. The available liquidity disappears almost instantly because

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

the majority of the Bitcoin is already

[Analyst/Commentator]

held by the long term term investors who are not selling. And that's when the real supply shock kicks in. And according to Sailor's own math, that's when the path to 10 million per coin stops sounding impossible and starts looking inevitable. 10 million dollar Bitcoin shock. The governments are scrambling for the Bitcoin.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

The bitcoin reserve race has already began.

[Analyst/Commentator]

Let me know if you agree or disagree with that.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Next up we're going to take it a step further. Sailor says bitcoin go to a million. If Strategy can accumulate 5% of the total supply, which they're extremely close to already achieving, that means just 1 million Bitcoin. He currently has close to 800,000, just FYI. So at 7% though he says it's

[Analyst/Commentator]

going at 10 million per coin.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

So from a 2% more accumulation jump a 10x factor of the price action,

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

which I find interesting.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

He says think of us as powering the network up. Michael Sailor claim strategy will drive bitcoin

[Analyst/Commentator]

price to 10 million says bitcoin would be at 10,000 without him.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

He's probably right because this entire bull, which began in 2024 last year, year of the having is all due to the institutions. But he actually goes back to 2020. He was the first corporate holder and buyer of bitcoin and he's been basically dollar cost averaging ever since. So yeah, Sailor claim Strategies Investment Strategies Accelerating Bitcoin adoption strategy continues AG and says Bitcoin would be 10,000 today without strategy, formerly known as micro strategy. Let me know if you agree with that particular bold statement. Sailor says strategy has already expanded bitcoin exposure to millions of beneficiaries through its equity structure and institutional backing, quoting them here. First of all, we have somewhere in the range of 15 million beneficiaries, he said, noting that shareholders include everything from pension funds to retail accounts. This was him speaking at the Bitcoin Maina Mina event. He also said we have delivered bitcoin interest to 15 million people the bleacher

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

double to 100 million people over the next few years. Saylor argued that bitcoin's decentralization is increasing as the asset appreciates, saying 85 of all the Bitcoin is held in dark pools and no one knows who owns it. Since joining the network, Strategies capital flows have Contributed to roughly 1.8 trillion, I guess referencing the market cap, which is currently a little down from the Top it's currently closer to 1.4 trillion.

[Analyst/Commentator]

But back to the 10 million prediction. He says if we're lucky enough if we ever get the 5% of the

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

network Bitcoin is going to be at least a million per coin.

[Analyst/Commentator]

And if we ever get to 7.5% of the network Bitcoin will be 10 million per coin. Those are his predictions and again he's already very close to having 5% of the total supply. He maintained that the corporate investment is essential for Bitcoin to scale towards a multi trillion dollar asset class. As he says here we really represent a motor and we're powering the network up. We're driving the price of bitcoin up from ten thousand to a hundred thousand to a million to ten million. As I say giddy up, biddy up. And sailor added without strategies equity and credit instruments providing institutional on ramps Bitcoin would be trading at 10,000 per coin right now. And you already know sailors massive accumulation strategy. There's an entire strategy ecosystem including the new high yield STRC which is raisin. You know it's like an infinite money glitch. They're able to raise billions of dollars practically every week and make massive purchases and that's only going to escalate. But what are your thoughts surrounding sailors 10 million bitty price prediction? Let me know in the chat.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Well here we go. We're going to continue with our next story of the day.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Morgan Stanley files amended S1 for the MSBT Bitcoin ETF and the crowd goes crazy.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

That's right.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Morgan Stanley filed the second amended S1

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

for the proposed spot Bitcoin ETF detailing seed capital, trading partners and listing plans as the Wall street bank moves closer

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

to launching the product under the ticker msbt.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

The amended filing says the trust expects

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

to raise a whopping $1 million Wowzers

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

through the sale of 50000 initial seed

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

shares as its delegated sponsor head of the listing of the NYSE ARCA and use the proceeds to buy the bitties for the fun. Morgan Stanley said the fund remains subject to regulatory approval before it can begin trading.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Well I guess that's like how you

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

get in the game but obviously a a million to you know a juggernaut like Morgan Stanley is like a fraction of a penny to uri the filing

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

list Jane Street Virtue Americas and Makari

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Capital as the authorized participants allowing them

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

to create a redeemed the large blocks

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

of the shares for the profit between the arbitrage between the biddy price of the ETF share price keeping the ETS price close to the value of the BTC. Morgan Stanley recommend 2 to 4% allocation to crypto portfolios for investors financial advisors in October 2025. Try to tell that to our audience.

[Analyst/Commentator]

I bet you most of you guys are like 100% allocated.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Yeah, I mean over allocated and that's just fine. Two to four percent means you're skeptical.

[Analyst/Commentator]

And I doubt you're skeptical if you've been watching my broadcast for the last eight years. But also clients with IRAs and 401ks

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

are going to get access to this. Morgan Stanley is moving from distributing Black Rock's IBIT to issuing its own product. Good for them. Capturing the management fees directly for themselves. You know, Wall street moves closer to the crypto funds. This move adds the broader push for the larger U S financial institutions to expand the access to the crypto related products. We also recently had the second largest bank, bank of America which just got fined for banking Epstein clients.

[Analyst/Commentator]

That was just in the headlines the other day.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

You know the least trustworthy banking institutions in America, JP Morgan Chase and Bank

[Analyst/Commentator]

of America, they're both guilty and have paid fines for banking Epstein's clients can't make this ish up but nonetheless, I mean it's crazy. A day earlier Vanguard, the world's second largest asset manager enabled crypto ETF trading for its clients as well. Let's not forget how long Vanguard has been fudding bitcoin the same time and now they're offering bitcoin services. You know, I mean BlackRock as well recommended up to 2% Bitcoin allocation to the clients in December of 2024 which is mind boggling to me, you know,

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

2% of your portfolio.

[Analyst/Commentator]

What else are you going to be invested in? 98 Dogecoin because you think Elon's going to the moon?

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Just saying.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Next up, Coinbase launches 24.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

7 stock perpetuals for the non U. S traders. Can't leave the foreigners behind. You got to tap into that pool

[Analyst/Commentator]

of money, of course.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Mr. Armstrong needs your money. Coinbase launched stock perpetual futures for eligible non US traders expanding the push offer

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

round the clock assets to crypto equities

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

prediction markets on a single platform.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Yeah, Coinbase said the product was not

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

available for US persons at the time, but it was working to expand the offer into additional regions for the future. The contracts are available on Coinbase advance

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

for the retail users and Coinbase International for institutions offered leverage cash settled exposure to the major US stocks also including

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Apple and Nvidia and a format similar for crypto traders. The rollout follows Coinbase's move to offer regulated crypto futures and 24,5 cash equities of the US to launch the Kalshi powered prediction markets. And all these greedy mother sons, you know, I mean they all gotta launch their own prediction markets. You know, they understand you guys are degenerates. Not only do you like the shitcoin casino, but it's like we might as well add gambling. You know, you can bet on, you know, anything under the sun will nip. Anator, lick the log today on the Bitcoin news alerts pod.

[Analyst/Commentator]

Why not?

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

I mean it's getting out of hand. Stock perpetuals are a core component of the company's 2026 roadmap which leans on the stable coins, the base layer 2 network and a multi asset brokerage model. Mr. Armstrong said in January that the top priority was to grow the everything exchange globally across the crypto equities prediction markets, commodities over the spot futures and options. And for now the equity perpetuals are strictly for the non US customers. For example, in Europe, Coinbase launched the perpetual future contracts for the Coinbase advanced users in 26 countries under its markets and financial instruments directive. Bottom line. My question today, how many of you

[Analyst/Commentator]

actually use the Coinbase?

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Let me know next next story. This is interesting. Super Micro co founder arrested over an alleged two and a half billion billion dollar AI chip smuggling scheme.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Wowzers.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Check it. US authorities say the co founder of Super Microcomputer has been charged and arrested over the alleged multi billion dollar scheme to smuggle advanced AI chips from the US to China.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Wowzers. They're smuggling from US to China. I wonder if he worked for the Chinese Communist Party. You know.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

The Justice Department said in a statement

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

on Thursday that it unsealed an indictment charging Yi Shayan, Wally Lia. What a name.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

As well as the Super Micro sales

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

execs, Rui Sang, Stephen Chang. You just gotta throw in an English

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Stephen in there and Willie's son over the alleged conspiracy. Pro prosecutor said the trio violated the U. S export controls by conspiring to sell billions of dollars worth of servers integrating sensitive controlled graphics processing units to buyers in China. Super Micro was not charged. Well obviously you got to be proven guilty. But he's already done been arrested. But anyways there's 18 and a half billion California based tech company.

[Analyst/Commentator]

Damn.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Specializing in the high performance server and

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

data centers for large scale companies such as IBM.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Its infrastructure partners include Nvidia and Google. So again this company is like 18

[Analyst/Commentator]

and a half billion.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Based out of Cali, the Justice Department, which I rename the. What do we say? The Justice Department, the corruption department. I said the alleged game and thanks

[Analyst/Commentator]

to Pam Bondi of course not going after and investigating any of the alleged victims of Epstein. So that's why it's the Department of

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Corruption involved in the trio using a

[Analyst/Commentator]

range of concealment techniques to hide the

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

sale of two and a half billion worth of servers.

[Analyst/Commentator]

I mean that's a lot of sales to hide in a China Company across 2024, 2025 with 510 million worth of sales occurring between April and May of 2025 alone. These defendants allegedly fabricated documents, stage bogus equipment to pass audit inventories and use a pass through company to conceal their misconduct and true clientele list. According to the FBI Also they they've been arrested and will stand before the judge. The other two involved in the northern district of Cali. Meanwhile, the Justice Department said that Chang, a Taiwanese citizen based outside the U.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

S remains a fugitive. In a statement, Super Micro distance itself from the trio.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Well, of course the company has been cooperating fully with the government investigation and will continue to do. Super Micro has not been named as

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

a defendant in the indictment.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Super Micro stock had initially gained during the trading hours. Well, I could imagine it's dumping right now in which it is down 13

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

to 26.71 cost a scandal up the company. It's now associated with the scam. Two and a half billion ain't chump change, you know. I mean, but that's very interesting. It seems there's always corruption at the top of everything, you know, insanity. No different with the Department of Justice. Corrupt at the top, it's going to be corrupt at the bottom. Everywhere in between.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

All right, final story of the day.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Bitcoin vs Gold shows a potential bottom signal as the bitcoin bulls defend. 70 GS baby.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

That's right.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

The RSI of the Bitcoin goal ratio has begun a climbing.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

That's right.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Money is leaving gold in real time and entering the btc. Yeah, I mean like bitcoin entering the Dragon. And speaking of entering the dragon, rest in peace, Chuck Norris who just exited

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

the Dragon, he did pass today.

Similarly, the moving average convergence divergence as

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

we know is the MACD indicator has dropped to the lowest level ever and

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

is about to produce a bullish cross. Maybe that's the second coming of Christ.

[JV (Bitcoin News Host)]

Note that the previous bullish crosses particularly

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

coming after the RSI has recovered from the oversold conditions marking the macro bottom for the ratio. Now this ultimately led to a 280 to 620% price breakout for bitcoin against gold. We've seen it before. We'll see it again. That was back in 2019, 2021 and 2023. What do you notice?

[Analyst/Commentator]

I noticed a pattern.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

It seems every odd year. And here we go. We skipped 2025, so we're due for 2026. The RSI has now recovered to 33 from a 21 mid February.

[Analyst/Commentator]

When combined with a buy signal on

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

the MACD the picture begins to resemble the previous cycles. Quoting analyst James Estro. Bottom is in for bitcoin versus gold.

[Analyst/Commentator]

Let me know if you agree.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

He says stage is set for the bitcoin recovery. The last time the bitcoin bottom against

[Analyst/Commentator]

the goal was November 2022 marking the

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

beginning of a 700% Bitcoin price rallied to the current high of the 126.

[Analyst/Commentator]

That's what's up. That was back in October of fourth

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

quarter of last year. Now if we rose 700 for the current price action we go from 70 GS to Wowzers. We're talking 700000 per biddy. I say we send it. Also geometric, another analyst said that three bitcoin gold bear markets have been taken between 12 to 14 months with a drawdown ranging from 75 to 84%. I gotta talk to Samson. And about 13 months have elapsed in the current cycle which has so far gone down 81%, surpassing the 2021 bare market, the analyst said. I think there is a solid case for a potential bottom. Here is the bottom end. Let me know. For over 13 years they say we've seen the same pattern. Bitcoin enters the bear market against gold

[Analyst/Commentator]

that lasts roughly 400 days and during

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

the time the RSI falls into the deeply oversold territory. Historically these phases have always marked a bottom. I don't want to see this week's low loss otherwise it's going to break back down for the range lows lower and lower. But how low can she go is the question Checking out Coinmark cap really quick. You can see the bitcoin market cap

[Analyst/Commentator]

today is lower than 1.4 trillion. We did correct some over the past couple of days.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

Total crypto market cap barely back on the climb, barely in the green sitting at 2.39 trillion which is still mind

[Analyst/Commentator]

boggling to me how small of a market the total crypto market cap is compared to the total addressable market of 800900 trillion. You know also checking this out.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

The Crypto Greed and Fair index continues to drop. Today were my favorite number and 11 in extreme fear. And checking out the time chain calendar today is block height 941456 and you could exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 1437 SATS. So you know what to do.

[Analyst/Commentator]

Pick up the stats, put down the

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]

gats, pick up a couple of bitcoin caps from Sergio. Show some support. This one is available on the website Bitcoin caps.net or you may prefer the Flamingo Oracle Miami Jump off right here available on the site. Or maybe you're old school, you just like the white. You know you do what to do. Grab the white.

[Analyst/Commentator]

Rest in peace.

[Co-host (Bitcoin News)]
