WEBVTT 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.460 Welcome back to the Bitcoin Street Journal podcast, 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.260 where we keep the signal hot and the fiat cold. 00:00:27.739 --> 00:00:30.300 I'm your host, Anna. and we're broadcasting from 00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:32.619 a planet where the price of freedom is denominated 00:00:32.619 --> 00:00:36.240 in satoshis, not printed promises. Bitcoin price 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.200 check. As we go live, Bitcoin is trading at $108 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:46.880 ,482 with a market dominance of 61 .9%. The corn 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.399 continues its march while the rest of the market 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.840 scrambles to keep up. Halving watch. Post -having 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.780 scarcity is flexing hard. Block rewards remain 00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:59.859 slashed at 3 .125 BTC. minor outflows are dipping, 00:01:00.259 --> 00:01:02.579 and long -term holders are adding to their stacks. 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.959 Meanwhile, shorts are sweating because a breakout 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.480 above $115 ,000 will liquidate $8 .5 billion 00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.299 in bearish bets. That's not a typo. That's a 00:01:13.299 --> 00:01:15.959 wipeout waiting to happen. Michael Saylor, the 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.640 Bitcoin billionaire's billionaire. Michael Saylor, 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:20.939 executive chairman of Strategy, just dropped 00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:24.859 another $427 million on Bitcoin, snapping up 00:01:24.859 --> 00:01:28.239 4 ,020 more coins. That brings their holdings 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:34.579 to 580 ,250 BTC, roughly 2 .7 % of total supply. 00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:45.260 When asked about future buys, Saylor said, New, 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.200 the state of Florida has proposed eliminating 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.280 capital gains taxes on Bitcoin. If passed, this 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.519 would make Florida the first U .S. state to offer 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.310 tax -free SATs stacking. Translation? Bitcoiners 00:01:57.310 --> 00:01:59.650 could trade, sell, or spend their BTC without 00:01:59.650 --> 00:02:02.230 feeding Uncle Sam. Miami wasn't just the vibe. 00:02:02.670 --> 00:02:04.810 Now it might be the capital of Bitcoin freedom. 00:02:05.489 --> 00:02:08.229 Liz Truss goes full orange pill. Former UK Prime 00:02:08.229 --> 00:02:10.629 Minister Liz Truss dropped a bomb at a finance 00:02:10.629 --> 00:02:13.650 panel yesterday, stating plainly, Bitcoin takes 00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:16.509 power away from government. That's the most honest 00:02:16.509 --> 00:02:19.569 thing a politician has said in decades. She may 00:02:19.569 --> 00:02:21.330 be late to the party, but at least she brought 00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:24.310 fireworks. Standard chartered shock and awe BTC 00:02:24.310 --> 00:02:26.800 price targets. The bank's latest report shows 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:28.719 projected price points for Bitcoin that read 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.580 more like prophecy than speculation. 2025, 200 00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:39.259 ,000. 2026, 300 ,000. 2027, 400 ,000. 2028, $500 00:02:39.259 --> 00:02:42.840 ,000. At that rate, we won't need memes. The 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.199 chart itself becomes the punchline. Conference 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.900 week is here.
