The Bitcoin Street Journal podcast. Wall Street
wakes up, Bitcoin builds nations and meme markets
melt faces. Welcome back to the Bitcoin Street
Journal podcast. I'm your host, Anna. And today's
episode is brimming with momentum, memes and
macroeconomic mic drops. From Goldman Sachs'
Bitcoin pivot to Satoshi Nakamoto getting a statue
in Italy, this is your essential rundown of a
world where money is getting harder, faster and
digital. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley enter
the chat. Let's not bury the lead. Goldman Sachs
has ramped up its Bitcoin and crypto efforts,
and Morgan Stanley will offer Bitcoin trading
to eTrade clients, marking a seismic shift in
legacy finance. We're watching $1 .5 trillion
in institutional power finally meet the open
source protocol that doesn't sleep. ETF inflows?
Off the charts. Last week alone, Bitcoin ETFs
bought 18 ,644 BTC, while just 3 ,150 were mined.
Scarcity, meet demand. Tether's holding, Saylor's
strategy, and fear and greed. Tether's attestation
is in, the stablecoin giant now holds $7 .6 billion
in Bitcoin, placing it among the world's largest
BTC holders. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor revealed
why his firm's strategy is valued higher than
the Bitcoin it owns. It's not just assets, it's
the vision. Their treasury operations, reportedly
topping $100 billion, could grow again this week
with fresh BTC buys. The fear and greed index.
Sitting squarely in greed. That's historically
where moves happen. Satoshi gets a statue in
Italy and students in El Salvador learn elliptic
curves. A new statue of Bitcoin creator Satoshi
Nakamoto has been unveiled in Fornelli Italy,
celebrating the pseudonymous legend who sparked
a monetary revolution. In El Salvador, students
are now being taught how elliptic curves work.
That's the math behind Bitcoin's public key generation.
If that doesn't scream generational wealth shift,
what does? Bitwise says Bitcoin is bullish. And
so does the data. The latest from Bitwise, Bitcoin
setup is very bullish right now. Backing that
up, BTC traders are back in profit with a 9 %
unrealized gain after weathering a 13 % loss.
Historically, this flip in sentiment often foreshadows
upward momentum. Matrixport's data supports the
trend. Bitcoin dominance is up and altcoin strength
remains shallow. Don't mistake a meme pump for
a full on alt season. The blockchain group wants
1 % of all BTC. Europe's largest Bitcoin treasury
company. The blockchain group aims to hold 1
% of total BTC supply by 2033. That's 210 ,000
BTC worth nearly $20 billion today. This isn't
a meme goal. This is the kind of ambition we'd
expect from governments, not companies. Trump
trade wars and crypto campaigns. Former President
Donald Trump is talking Bitcoin again. If we
don't do crypto, China will. He doubled down
on crypto strength versus the stock market and
dropped a bombshell. a 100 % tariff on all imported
films, revving up the trade wars. Meanwhile,
CNN reports Bitcoin voters influenced the election.
Senator Wendy Rogers is already resubmitting
Arizona's Bitcoin Reserve bill. ETF inflows explode
of $40 .6 billion and climbing. Bitcoin ETFs
have now seen $40 .62 billion in cumulative inflows,
with $1 .81 billion added last week alone. Ethereum
ETFs also saw $106 .75 million in net inflows,
while 17 % of altcoins managed to outperform
BTC over the last 90 days. Bond bears Bitcoin
bulls. James Lavish breaks it down. Treasury
bonds aren't great collateral anymore. The U
.S. can print dollars, but it can't print Bitcoin.
The writing is on the blockchain, sell bonds,
buy Bitcoin. Riot platforms post gains, mining
income doubles. Riot platforms posted a 13 %
quone revenue jump to $161 .4M, slightly ahead
of estimates. Mining income doubled year -over
-year to $142 .9M thanks to higher prices and
operational improvements. Hash rate, efficiency,
and profitability check, check, check. From Maldives
to Norway, Bitcoin everywhere. In the Maldives,
MBS Global plans to invest his $9 billion to
build a blockchain financial hub more than the
country's entire GDP. Meanwhile, in Norway, Bitcoin
now shows up next to global currencies on a train
station exchange board. Yes, you can compare
BTC to the euro as casually as you do the dollar.
Elon goes Gork and Telegram games pivot. Elon
Musk has updated his ex -profile to Gorklon Rust,
just as hash Gork and hash grok trend across
Bybit futures. Telegram's gaming future, the
not coin founders are doubling down on tap to
earn reboots with new monetization models. From
Tracer to Ben McKenzie, culture meets crypto.
The Tracer Safe 5 hardware wallet is here, featuring
haptic touchscreen tech and seamless UX. Meanwhile,
actor Ben McKenzie drops a crypto documentary
titled, Everyone is Lying to You for Money, premiering
at SXSW London, someone called Netflix. Tethered
AI incoming. Tether CEO Paolo Arduino has confirmed
the imminent launch of Tether's open -source
AI platform with Bitcoin and USDT integration.
AI plus BTC could become the singularity we deserve.
Volatility dips metrics rise. Bitcoin's volatility
is at a 563 -day low and a critical metric just
hit a six -month high, suggesting a major rebound
could be near. Only 5 % of altcoins are above
their 200 -day moving average, while 75 % are
above the 50 -day. Translation, short -term heat,
no long -term strength. Looking forward, 100K
and beyond. BlackRock, Chamath, and Arthur Hayes
all agree, six -figure Bitcoin is coming. Targets
range from $122K to $700K by 2025. Meanwhile,
NVIDIA rumors swirl with whispers that the chipmaker
may be buying Bitcoin for its own treasury. If
true, it could be the next Tesla moment. Closing
stay humble stack sats. From Wall Street giants
and sovereign dreams to El Salvador classrooms
and Italian statues, Bitcoin is culture now.
In this revolution, it's only getting started.
