Welcome back to the Bitcoin Street 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.920 Journal podcast. I'm your host, Anna. And today's 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.679 episode is brimming with momentum, memes and 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.539 macroeconomic mic drops. From Goldman Sachs' 00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:34.479 Bitcoin pivot to Satoshi Nakamoto getting a statue 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.259 in Italy, this is your essential rundown of a 00:00:37.259 --> 00:00:39.439 world where money is getting harder, faster and 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:41.859 digital. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley enter 00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:44.859 the chat. Let's not bury the lead. Goldman Sachs 00:00:44.859 --> 00:00:46.979 has ramped up its Bitcoin and crypto efforts, 00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:49.340 and Morgan Stanley will offer Bitcoin trading 00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:52.299 to eTrade clients, marking a seismic shift in 00:00:52.299 --> 00:00:55.840 legacy finance. We're watching $1 .5 trillion 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.159 in institutional power finally meet the open 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.219 source protocol that doesn't sleep. ETF inflows? 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.500 Off the charts. Last week alone, Bitcoin ETFs 00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:11.299 bought 18 ,644 BTC, while just 3 ,150 were mined. 00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:14.560 Scarcity, meet demand. Tether's holding, Saylor's 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.060 strategy, and fear and greed. Tether's attestation 00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:20.819 is in, the stablecoin giant now holds $7 .6 billion 00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:23.319 in Bitcoin, placing it among the world's largest 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.379 BTC holders. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor revealed 00:01:26.379 --> 00:01:28.659 why his firm's strategy is valued higher than 00:01:28.659 --> 00:01:32.159 the Bitcoin it owns. It's not just assets, it's 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.159 the vision. Their treasury operations, reportedly 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.439 topping $100 billion, could grow again this week 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.739 with fresh BTC buys. The fear and greed index. 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.120 Sitting squarely in greed. That's historically 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.519 where moves happen. Satoshi gets a statue in 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.599 Italy and students in El Salvador learn elliptic 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.500 curves. A new statue of Bitcoin creator Satoshi 00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:53.859 Nakamoto has been unveiled in Fornelli Italy, 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.019 celebrating the pseudonymous legend who sparked 00:01:56.019 --> 00:01:58.920 a monetary revolution. In El Salvador, students 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.379 are now being taught how elliptic curves work. 00:02:01.859 --> 00:02:04.560 That's the math behind Bitcoin's public key generation. 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.719 If that doesn't scream generational wealth shift, 00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:11.159 what does? Bitwise says Bitcoin is bullish. And 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.680 so does the data. The latest from Bitwise, Bitcoin 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.939 setup is very bullish right now. Backing that 00:02:15.939 --> 00:02:19.120 up, BTC traders are back in profit with a 9 % 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.939 unrealized gain after weathering a 13 % loss. 00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:25.180 Historically, this flip in sentiment often foreshadows 00:02:25.180 --> 00:02:28.039 upward momentum. Matrixport's data supports the 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.520 trend. Bitcoin dominance is up and altcoin strength 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.039 remains shallow. Don't mistake a meme pump for 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.560 a full on alt season. The blockchain group wants 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.099 1 % of all BTC. Europe's largest Bitcoin treasury 00:02:39.099 --> 00:02:42.240 company. The blockchain group aims to hold 1 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.400 % of total BTC supply by 2033. That's 210 ,000 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.699 BTC worth nearly $20 billion today. This isn't 00:02:51.699 --> 00:02:54.180 a meme goal. This is the kind of ambition we'd 00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:56.680 expect from governments, not companies. Trump 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.400 trade wars and crypto campaigns. Former President 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.960 Donald Trump is talking Bitcoin again. If we 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.300 don't do crypto, China will. He doubled down 00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:06.500 on crypto strength versus the stock market and 00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:10.020 dropped a bombshell. a 100 % tariff on all imported 00:03:10.020 --> 00:03:13.159 films, revving up the trade wars.

Bond bears Bitcoin 00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:46.159 bulls. James Lavish breaks it down. Treasury 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.699 bonds aren't great collateral anymore. The U 00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:50.620 .S. can print dollars, but it can't print Bitcoin. 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.159 The writing is on the blockchain, sell bonds, 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.879 buy Bitcoin.

Mining income doubled year -over 00:04:07.379 --> 00:04:11.759 -year to $142 .9M thanks to higher prices and 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.379 operational improvements. Hash rate, efficiency, 00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:16.959 and profitability check, check, check. From Maldives 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.620 to Norway, Bitcoin everywhere.
