Buckle up as Bitcoin breaks new ground with mainstream
adoption, fast food integration, and sovereign
accumulation. On today's episode of the Bitcoin
Street Journal podcast, Welcome back to the Bitcoin
Street Journal podcast. I'm your host, Anna,
reporting from Bitcoin Street, where we run on
SATs, not slogans, and our crocs come with QR
codes. Price check. As of now, Bitcoin is trading
at $1 ,105 ,180 with a market dominance of 61
.3%. We're deep in six -figure territory and
climbing like a Falcon 9 rocket. Market cap?
$0 .02 .07 trillion. Not bad for a dead asset.
Hauving watch? The post -having landscape continues
to evolve, with the block reward now slashed
to 3 .125 BTC. New supply is vanishing into long
-term wallets faster than legacy media credibility.
Hodlers are stacking while the rest are snacking.
Headline one, Steak and Shake goes full lightning.
In what might be the most American sentence ever
spoken on Bitcoin Street, Steak and Shake now
accepts Bitcoin at all US locations via the lightning
network. Scan a QR, get your fries, and stack
satis in style. Political candidate Valentina
Gomez even filmed herself buying burgers with
Bitcoin. The message? This isn't theoretical
anymore. It's transactional. The company even
tweeted a spaceship and said, all aboard. Translation.
The Fiat clown car is out of gas and Bitcoin
is the ride of the future. S &P Global signals
Bitcoin is neutral ground. SUAP Global ratings
Andrew O 'Neill called Bitcoin geopolitically
neutral. That's no small statement from the same
crowd that rates nation -state debt. It's recognition
that Bitcoin isn't just non -sovereign. It's
anti -fragile, untouchable, and unbothered by
borders. Teach your kids before the state does.
A viral post this week reminded us of something
simple but powerful. Teach your kids about money
before the state does. Fiat indoctrination starts
early. If your kid can swipe an iPad, they can
learn the difference between sound money and
monopoly money. Quotable of the day, if they
can print trillions of it for free, you're just
working for them. Stop working for them. and
use a money that has the same rules for everybody.
And trust me, on a long enough timeline, that
will pay off like you could not believe. That's
from the guy swan in Walker America via WLRVs.
Print that, tape it to your fridge, tattoo it
on your accountant. Fact check, the 1 % myth.
Only 0 .27 % of the global population can mathematically
own one Bitcoin. That's it. That's the whole
pie. If you've got a whole coin, you're already
wealthier in a future -denominated world than
99 .73 % of humanity. GD Culture Group Going
Full Bitcoiner NASDAQ listed GD Culture Group
announced plans to sell up to $300 million worth
of shares to acquire Bitcoin and crypto. They
didn't just write a blog post, they filed paperwork.
It's another sign the corporate floodgates are
open. And they're not just copying MicroStrategy,
they're joining the Treasury Standard Club. Flashback
moment. Remember January 19th, 2016? The Washington
Post declared Bitcoin dead. RIP Bitcoin. It's
time to move on. Now imagine shorting that headline.
Jim Chanos still doesn't get it. Fame short seller
Jim Chanos is calling MicroStrategy's Bitcoin
treasury strategy ridiculous. He says companies
like MSTR are just selling stock to buy Bitcoin.
To that we say, good. Better to trade fiat equity
for digital scarcity. than to hoard cash that
loses value every time the Fed sneezes. Eric
Trump joins the signal. Eric Trump dropped a
quote that has Bitcoin Street buzzing. I hear
it from sovereign wealth funds, the wealthiest
families, and the biggest companies. It's a race
to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible. And
I promise you, we're going to beat them in that
marathon. Is the Trump family gearing up for
a Bitcoin treasury strategy of their own? Time
will tell. Lawrence Leppard, whole coiners will
be elite. According to investor Lawrence Leppard,
being a whole -coiner is going to be an enormous
deal in a few years. If you needed more reason
to stay convicted and stack harder, there it
is. One Bitcoin is not just a number. It's a
legacy. Bloomberg now using decimal notation
for BTC. Even Bloomberg terminal has updated
Bitcoin's price to show $0 .1M instead of $100
,000. That's not just cosmetic. That's institutional
foresight baked into the interface. PolyMarket
says 3 % odds for 1MBTC in 2025. Prediction market
PolyMarket gives Bitcoin a 3 % chance of hitting
$1 million this year. The odds might be low,
but remember, that number was zero not long ago.
Sailor's open -ended question. Michael Sailor
asked a chilling hypothetical. What happens if
it stops going up? Answer, it won't. But if it
ever did, the entire fiat -based asset stack
would collapse under the weight of its own fraud.
USDF entering top 10 stablecoins? Andrei Grachev
says USDF will break into the top 10 stablecoins
soon, with major partnerships pending. Whether
that's a win for decentralization or not remains
to be seen, but stablecoin wars are heating up.
US 30 -year treasuries just reached a 5 .02 %
yield, the highest since November 2023. That's
not a return. That's a red flag. Risk -free returns
are supposed to be boring, not historic. The
world is waking up to risk premium mispricing.
On -chain alert bullish signal flips. Market
cap versus. Realized cap ratio is now back in
bullish territory. The last time we saw this
flip was the 2020 mid -cycle slowdown. And you
know what came next. A historic rally. BTC ETF
inflows keep climbing. From May 12 to 16, spot
Bitcoin ETFs saw $260 .27 million in net inflows.
Ethereum ETFs? Just $22 .12 million. The signal
here is obvious. Institutions are buying Bitcoin.
Bukele update. El Salvador's Bitcoin profit hits
357. President Naib Bukele released a new report
showing El Salvador's strategic BTC reserve is
now $357 million in the green. That's not just
a win. It's a global flex. Value for value shout

To Valentina Gomez for campaigning with conviction
and burgers. To every parent teaching their kids
about sound money before the textbooks lie to
them. Closing thoughts. Bitcoin is more than
a price. It's a principle, a protest, a policy.
While the dollar decays and the legacy system
doubles down on control, Bitcoin marches on,
decentralized, disinflationary, and unstoppable.
This is Anna signing off from the Bitcoin Street
Journal podcast. Stay sovereign, stay signal.
See you on the next block.
