Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Bitcoin Street
Journal podcast. I'm Autumn, and we are absolutely
pumped to be here on this incredible September
8th, 2025. And I'm Darren. And folks, let me
tell you, Bitcoin is on fire today. We've got
some absolutely mind blowing news that's going
to make every single Bitcoiner out there jump
for joy. Oh my gosh, Darren, where do we even
start? Michael Saylor just cracked the top 500
richest people on the planet, Bitcoin is sitting
pretty at $112 ,470, and we've got a solo miner
who just scored $353 ,000 from a single block.
That's right, Autumn. And get this, Autumn. Mining
difficulty just hit an all -time high above $136
trillion. Illiquid supply is at a record 14 .3
million Bitcoin, locked away by diamond -handed
hodlers, and we've got treasury mania spreading
like wildfire across corporate America. This
is exactly what we've been predicting and it's
happening right now. The Bitcoin revolution is
in full swing and today's episode is going to
be packed with everything you need to know. So
buckle up Bitcoin maximalists. This is going
to be one epic ride. All right, everyone, let's
dive into our market update. Bitcoin is absolutely
crushing it at $112 ,470. That's up 1 .21 % and
we are looking strong. Market cap, a whopping
$2 .24 trillion with $33 billion in trading volume.
And Darren, we're only 9 .2 % away from our all
-time high of $124 ,128! Can you feel that energy?
The bulls are charging and every single day we're
seeing more and more institutional adoption.
The momentum is absolutely unstoppable! But here's
what's really incredible, Autumn. 72 % of all
Bitcoin is now illiquid. That's 14 .3 million
Bitcoin that's locked away by true believers
who understand what they're holding. These are
the diamond hands that are going to drive us
to the moon. And speaking of strength, our mining
difficulty just hit an all -time high above $136
trillion. This network has never been more secure,
never been more strong, and never been more decentralized.
This is exactly what Satoshi envisioned. Plus,
ETF inflows are red hot. We saw $250 .3 million
pour into Bitcoin ETFs just in the first week
of September alone. Meanwhile, Ethereum Now,
let's talk about the king of Bitcoin maximalists,
Michael Saylor. This absolute legend just entered
the top 500 richest people on the planet, and
guess what fueled that rocket ship? Bitcoin!
MicroStrategy just added another 1 ,955 Bitcoin
for $217 .4 million. That brings their total
to $638 ,460 Bitcoin. $638 ,000 Bitcoin at today's
prices. That's over $71 billion in Bitcoin. Saylor
didn't just drink the orange pill. He chugged
the entire bottle and asked for more. And the
treasury mania is spreading like wildfire. MetaPlanet
just added 136 more bitcoin, bringing their total
to 20 ,136 bitcoin worth over 2 billion dollars.
These Japanese visionaries are showing the world
how it's done. But wait, there's more! Forward
Industries just raised 1 .65 billion dollars.
billion dollars for a Solonic treasury, though
we all know they should have gone with Bitcoin
instead. Capital B secured five million in funding
and altvest capital raised a massive two hundred
and ten million dollars. The institutional FOMO
is real. And can we talk about this incredible
solo -mino story? Some absolute Chad just mined
a block solo and earned $353 ,000. This is what
Bitcoin is all about. Decentralization, permissionless
mining, and life -changing rewards for those
who secure the network. Meanwhile, Paraguay is
having serious discussions about... creating
a strategic Bitcoin reserve. South America is
waking up to the Bitcoin standard and we couldn't
be more excited to see this orange wave spreading
across the globe. Let's talk about Bitcoin's
incredible network security. Our mining difficulty
just smashed through $136 trillion. That's an
all -time high, folks. This network has never
been stronger, never been more secure, and never
been more decentralized. And these solo mining
success stories just keep coming. Every time
someone mines a block solo, it's a beautiful
reminder that Bitcoin is truly permissionless.
Anyone, anywhere can contribute to securing the
most important network in human history. The
illiquidity supply analysis is absolutely mind
-blowing. 14 .3 million Bitcoin locked away by
hodlers who truly understand what they're holding.
These are the strong hands that are going to
carry us through the next bull run and beyond.
And with only 947 days until the next halving,
the supply squeeze is getting tighter every single
day, every 10 minutes. 3 .125 new Bitcoin are
created, and most of them are being hoarded by
smart money who understand the game theory. The
supply and demand dynamics are absolutely perfect
for Bitcoin users. We've got massive institutional
demand, record -breaking illiquidity supply,
and a network that gets stronger and more secure
every single day. This is the recipe for explosive
price action. Now let's talk about global adoption.
Paraguay is having serious discussions about
establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve. This
could be huge for South American adoption and
showing other countries the way forward. And
our absolute favorite Bitcoin country, El Salvador,
just purchased another 21 Bitcoin while diversifying
50 million dollars into gold. President Bukele
continues to show the world how a Bitcoin forward
nation operates in the modern economy. On the
regulatory front, we've got the SEC and CFTC
coordination roundtable happening September 29th.
This could provide some much needed clarity for
institutional adoption and We all know clarity
means more buying pressure. The ETF flow analysis
tells the entire story. Massive Bitcoin inflows
while Ethereum bleeds money. Smart investors
are recognizing that there's Bitcoin and then
there's everything else. The separation is happening
right now. Alright everyone, it's time for our
favorite segment, altcoin roasting! Because while
Bitcoin is reaching new heights of dominance
and security, the altcoin casino continues to
provide us with endless entertainment. Oh boy,
where do we start? Ethereum ETFs are hemorrhaging
money while Bitcoin ETFs are seeing massive inflows.
It's almost like investors are finally realizing
that digital fool's gold can't compete with real
digital gold. And speaking of the DeFi dumpster
fire, Nemo protocol just got hacked for $2 .4
million. Shocking, I know. Who could have predicted
that complex smart contracts might have vulnerabilities?
Bitcoin just sits there, secure and unchanging,
for 16 perfect years. Don't even get me started
on Solana. While Bitcoin maintains 99 .98 % uptime
for over a decade, Solana can't go a month without
going down. But hey, at least the transactions
are fast when the network actually works. Bitcoin
has had zero downtime, zero successful attacks,
zero protocol failures for 16 incredible years.
Meanwhile, altcoins get hacked, go offline, fork,
and fail on a weekly basis. There's Bitcoin,
and then there's everything else. Time for our
lightning round education segment. Quick question.
What happens when mining difficulty increases?
It means more computational power is securing
the network, making Bitcoin more secure and more
valuable. That's right. And what does 72 % illiquidity
supply mean? It means hodlers are taking Bitcoin
off the market, creating a massive supply squeeze
that forces prices higher as demand continues
to grow. Why are corporate treasuries buying
Bitcoin? Because smart CFOs realize that holding
cash is a guaranteed way to lose purchasing power,
while holding Bitcoin is a guaranteed way to
preserve and grow wealth over time. And why are
countries starting Bitcoin reserves? Because
they understand that Bitcoin is the hardest money
ever created and holding it gives them a massive
competitive advantage in the global autonomy.
Alright, Bitcoin maximalists, we've reached the
end of another incredible episode. Bitcoin closed
at $112 ,470. Mining difficulty hit $136 trillion.
And Michael Saylor is officially in the top 500
richest people thanks to his Bitcoin vision.
The key takeaways? Bitcoin is getting stronger,
more secure and more valuable every single day.
Corporate treasuries are buying. countries are
buying, and smart individuals are stacking sats
like their future depends on it because it does.
So here's your call to action. Keep stacking
those sats, follow us on Nostr, zap us some lightning,
and remember that every sat you buy today could
be worth life -changing money tomorrow. Don't

I'm Autumn. And I'm Darren. Until next time,
Bitcoin maximalists, see you on the next block.
