Welcome back to The Bitcoin Street Journal Podcast. I’m your host, Anna, reporting live from Bitcoin Street — where the signal is pure, the Crocs are custom, and we always keep our keys, not your coins.
Bitcoin Price Check: As we go live, Bitcoin is trading at one hundred and two thousand, three hundred forty-five dollars with a market dominance of sixty-one point six percent. We're still well into the six-figure club — and just getting started.
Halving Watch: With block rewards cut to 3.125 BTC, new supply is drying up faster than Peter Schiff’s arguments at a Bitcoin conference. Scarcity is up, conviction is climbing, and whales are swimming — not selling.
Headline One: Hackers vs. Coinbase. Hackers are demanding twenty million dollars in Bitcoin from Coinbase, threatening to leak customer data. But Coinbase isn’t folding. CEO Brian Armstrong isn’t backing down. Instead, they're offering a twenty million dollar bounty for tips leading to the attackers. Now that’s what we call flipping the script.
And it doesn't stop there. The Coinbase breach highlights not only the evolving sophistication of cyberattacks but the resilience of Bitcoin-native companies. The fact that Coinbase’s security team was able to isolate, respond, and neutralize without compromising private keys or funds is a huge testament to hardened, self-custody-focused architecture. Other companies should take note.
Long-Term Hodl Alert: Since April 4, long-term holders added 339,000 BTC — now totaling 14.37 million. That’s over two-thirds of all Bitcoin in existence. Illiquid supply is climbing while retail fumbles meme tokens. Wake up, people. The smart money is front-running a paradigm shift.
JUST IN: The UK-based Coinsilium Group raised £1.25 million to adopt a full-blown Bitcoin treasury strategy. Meanwhile, DDC Enterprise in China is planning to scoop up 5,000 BTC, and in Brazil, Méliuz is transforming into the country’s first public Bitcoin treasury company. Bitcoin is no longer fringe — it’s fiscal policy.
Sovereign Wealth Moves: Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Fund now holds over $408 million worth of BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF. Add that to China’s strategic stack and Russia’s central bank announcement: Bitcoin is officially outperforming everything else.
Bitcoin Beats Gold — Again. New data shows that a $50 weekly DCA into Bitcoin since 2018 crushes gold’s returns. America’s new standard? Forty-nine point six million Americans now own Bitcoin. That’s more than gold holders. The orange coin is no longer a rebellion — it’s a replacement.
In Other News: Bitcoin Crocs Are Back. The third official Bitcoin Crocs shoe has launched. Yes, Bitcoin now has streetwear. What a time to be alive. From Satoshi socks to BTC slides, the fashion of freedom marches forward.
Michael Saylor said it best: “Sell a tooth if you must, but keep the Bitcoin.” Is it extreme? Sure. But we live in a clown world — and Bitcoin is the exit.
Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas says, “Think 10 years ahead and buy all you can.” Meanwhile, Peter Schiff is still tweeting from his bunker, desperately trying to meme gold back to relevance. But the charts — and the people — have moved on.
Arthur Hayes Drops a Bomb: Bitcoin to one million by 2028. Why? Capital controls, fiat decay, and the realization that Bitcoin isn’t just a hedge — it’s the life raft. Hayes isn’t alone. A growing number of analysts now suggest $200K to $500K BTC in the current cycle isn’t just possible — it’s probable.
