WEBVTT 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.739 Buckle up as Bitcoin breaks new ground with mainstream 00:00:20.739 --> 00:00:23.399 adoption, fast food integration, and sovereign 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.620 accumulation. On today's episode of the Bitcoin 00:00:26.620 --> 00:00:43.399 Street Journal podcast, Welcome back to the Bitcoin 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.060 Street Journal podcast. I'm your host, Anna, 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.759 reporting from Bitcoin Street, where we run on 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.740 SATs, not slogans, and our crocs come with QR 00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:55.710 codes. Price check. As of now, Bitcoin is trading 00:00:55.710 --> 00:01:00.590 at $1 ,105 ,180 with a market dominance of 61 00:01:00.590 --> 00:01:04.310 .3%. We're deep in six -figure territory and 00:01:04.310 --> 00:01:07.030 climbing like a Falcon 9 rocket. Market cap? 00:01:07.489 --> 00:01:11.370 $0 .02 .07 trillion. Not bad for a dead asset. 00:01:11.829 --> 00:01:14.769 Hauving watch? The post -having landscape continues 00:01:14.769 --> 00:01:18.049 to evolve, with the block reward now slashed 00:01:18.049 --> 00:01:23.409 to 3 .125 BTC. New supply is vanishing into long 00:01:23.409 --> 00:01:26.609 -term wallets faster than legacy media credibility. 00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:30.609 Hodlers are stacking while the rest are snacking. 00:01:30.930 --> 00:01:32.670 Headline one, Steak and Shake goes full lightning. 00:01:33.209 --> 00:01:35.129 In what might be the most American sentence ever 00:01:35.129 --> 00:01:37.950 spoken on Bitcoin Street, Steak and Shake now 00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:41.250 accepts Bitcoin at all US locations via the lightning 00:01:41.250 --> 00:01:44.849 network. Scan a QR, get your fries, and stack 00:01:44.849 --> 00:01:47.930 satis in style. Political candidate Valentina 00:01:47.930 --> 00:01:50.150 Gomez even filmed herself buying burgers with 00:01:50.150 --> 00:01:52.819 Bitcoin. The message? This isn't theoretical 00:01:52.819 --> 00:01:55.599 anymore. It's transactional. The company even 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.640 tweeted a spaceship and said, all aboard. Translation. 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:00.879 The Fiat clown car is out of gas and Bitcoin 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.519 is the ride of the future. S &P Global signals 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.359 Bitcoin is neutral ground. SUAP Global ratings 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.740 Andrew O 'Neill called Bitcoin geopolitically 00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:11.479 neutral. That's no small statement from the same 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.520 crowd that rates nation -state debt. It's recognition 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.610 that Bitcoin isn't just non -sovereign. It's 00:02:17.610 --> 00:02:20.710 anti -fragile, untouchable, and unbothered by 00:02:20.710 --> 00:02:23.349 borders. Teach your kids before the state does. 00:02:23.909 --> 00:02:26.069 A viral post this week reminded us of something 00:02:26.069 --> 00:02:29.030 simple but powerful. Teach your kids about money 00:02:29.030 --> 00:02:32.509 before the state does. Fiat indoctrination starts 00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:36.009 early. If your kid can swipe an iPad, they can 00:02:36.009 --> 00:02:38.349 learn the difference between sound money and 00:02:38.349 --> 00:02:41.310 monopoly money. Quotable of the day, if they 00:02:41.310 --> 00:02:43.610 can print trillions of it for free, you're just 00:02:43.610 --> 00:02:46.300 working for them. Stop working for them. and 00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:48.379 use a money that has the same rules for everybody. 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.639 And trust me, on a long enough timeline, that 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.539 will pay off like you could not believe. That's 00:02:54.539 --> 00:02:57.860 from the guy swan in Walker America via WLRVs. 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.319 Print that, tape it to your fridge, tattoo it 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.039 on your accountant. Fact check, the 1 % myth. 00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:07.900 Only 0 .27 % of the global population can mathematically 00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:11.400 own one Bitcoin. That's it. That's the whole 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.719 pie. If you've got a whole coin, you're already 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.060 wealthier in a future -denominated world than 00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:21.099 99 .73 % of humanity. GD Culture Group Going 00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:24.580 Full Bitcoiner NASDAQ listed GD Culture Group 00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:28.159 announced plans to sell up to $300 million worth 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.460 of shares to acquire Bitcoin and crypto. They 00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:34.080 didn't just write a blog post, they filed paperwork. 00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:36.340 It's another sign the corporate floodgates are 00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:38.979 open. And they're not just copying MicroStrategy, 00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:41.900 they're joining the Treasury Standard Club. Flashback 00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:45.900 moment. Remember January 19th, 2016? The Washington 00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:49.300 Post declared Bitcoin dead. RIP Bitcoin. It's 00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:51.860 time to move on. Now imagine shorting that headline. 00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:54.960 Jim Chanos still doesn't get it. Fame short seller 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.560 Jim Chanos is calling MicroStrategy's Bitcoin 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.080 treasury strategy ridiculous. He says companies 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.939 like MSTR are just selling stock to buy Bitcoin. 00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:07.780 To that we say, good. Better to trade fiat equity 00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:10.280 for digital scarcity. than to hoard cash that 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.159 loses value every time the Fed sneezes. Eric 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.699 Trump joins the signal. Eric Trump dropped a 00:04:15.699 --> 00:04:18.420 quote that has Bitcoin Street buzzing. I hear 00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:20.819 it from sovereign wealth funds, the wealthiest 00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:24.160 families, and the biggest companies. It's a race 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.300 to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible. And 00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:29.680 I promise you, we're going to beat them in that 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.100 marathon. Is the Trump family gearing up for 00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:34.819 a Bitcoin treasury strategy of their own? Time 00:04:34.819 --> 00:04:37.040 will tell. Lawrence Leppard, whole coiners will 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.579 be elite. According to investor Lawrence Leppard, 00:04:39.939 --> 00:04:41.899 being a whole -coiner is going to be an enormous 00:04:41.899 --> 00:04:44.399 deal in a few years. If you needed more reason 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.759 to stay convicted and stack harder, there it 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.000 is. One Bitcoin is not just a number. It's a 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.279 legacy. Bloomberg now using decimal notation 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.959 for BTC. Even Bloomberg terminal has updated 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.120 Bitcoin's price to show $0 .1M instead of $100 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.639 ,000. That's not just cosmetic. That's institutional 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.459 foresight baked into the interface. PolyMarket 00:05:05.459 --> 00:05:09.639 says 3 % odds for 1MBTC in 2025. Prediction market 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.360 PolyMarket gives Bitcoin a 3 % chance of hitting 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.399 $1 million this year. The odds might be low, 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.560 but remember, that number was zero not long ago. 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.279 Sailor's open -ended question. Michael Sailor 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.740 asked a chilling hypothetical. What happens if 00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:26.939 it stops going up? Answer, it won't. But if it 00:05:26.939 --> 00:05:29.600 ever did, the entire fiat -based asset stack 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.600 would collapse under the weight of its own fraud. 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.040 USDF entering top 10 stablecoins? Andrei Grachev 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.759 says USDF will break into the top 10 stablecoins 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.079 soon, with major partnerships pending. Whether 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.579 that's a win for decentralization or not remains 00:05:43.579 --> 00:05:46.639 to be seen, but stablecoin wars are heating up. 00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:53.819 US 30 -year treasuries just reached a 5 .02 % 00:05:53.819 --> 00:05:57.600 yield, the highest since November 2023. That's 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.079 not a return. That's a red flag. Risk -free returns 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.360 are supposed to be boring, not historic. The 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.279 world is waking up to risk premium mispricing. 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.800 On -chain alert bullish signal flips. Market 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.019 cap versus. Realized cap ratio is now back in 00:06:13.019 --> 00:06:15.600 bullish territory. The last time we saw this 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.000 flip was the 2020 mid -cycle slowdown. And you 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.480 know what came next. A historic rally. BTC ETF 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.800 inflows keep climbing. From May 12 to 16, spot 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.399 Bitcoin ETFs saw $260 .27 million in net inflows. 00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:34.050 Ethereum ETFs? Just $22 .12 million. The signal 00:06:34.050 --> 00:06:36.709 here is obvious. Institutions are buying Bitcoin. 00:06:37.389 --> 00:06:40.389 Bukele update. El Salvador's Bitcoin profit hits 00:06:40.389 --> 00:06:47.310 357. President Naib Bukele released a new report 00:06:47.310 --> 00:06:50.649 showing El Salvador's strategic BTC reserve is 00:06:50.649 --> 00:06:55.370 now $357 million in the green. That's not just 00:06:55.370 --> 00:06:58.769 a win. It's a global flex. Value for value shout 00:06:58.769 --> 00:07:01.310 outs.

To every parent teaching their kids 00:07:19.870 --> 00:07:21.990 about sound money before the textbooks lie to 00:07:21.990 --> 00:07:24.730 them. Closing thoughts. Bitcoin is more than 00:07:24.730 --> 00:07:27.209 a price. It's a principle, a protest, a policy. 00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:29.860 While the dollar decays and the legacy system 00:07:29.860 --> 00:07:32.639 doubles down on control, Bitcoin marches on, 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.160 decentralized, disinflationary, and unstoppable. 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:37.920 This is Anna signing off from the Bitcoin Street 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.540 Journal podcast. Stay sovereign, stay signal. 00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:41.980 See you on the next block.
