You better hold Bitcoin. If you want to protect your family, you want to protect your company, you want to protect your country, you better have some Bitcoin. This is strange. Who's actually pushing the Bitcoin price up? You should be very, very worried because daily exchange volume, meaning all the volume in all of crypto, is sinking. This is where retail buys their crypto, meaning average people like you, like me. And even if we switch it to three months, volume's not increasing. It's going lower. Yet, Bitcoin's price for the last five months grinds higher. Who's doing this?

I was saying this backstage. We were talking a little. I'm more confident in Bitcoin today at the number that it's at today than I was in Bitcoin when it was 125,000. Because honestly, because while the numbers are in for this last month, Bitcoin closed April up almost 12%. This is the best monthly performance in a year. Meaning for the last 2025 since April, 365 days, we've had a lot of down months. We've had some great up months. But this is the best monthly performance in a year. And retail didn't participate. Hundreds of years ago, the big revolution was the separation of church and state. That had really never been done before in a large scale until the United States. Bitcoin for the first time in history, human

history, is the separation of money and state. Yet for the last five, six months, Bitcoin grinds higher without retail. What Bitcoin's done in the last 6 months relative to what Bitcoin's done in the previous 3 years is transformational. I mean, this rush is only getting going and we are in the greatest period, I think, in the history of crypto. And just hold on, guys. Hold on. It's coming. And why is that? Who is pushing price higher? The goal is just to acquire as much Bitcoin as possible. Just try to make as much money as possible. It's not complicated goal.

Bitcoin is money. We want to acquire the Bitcoin. We expect Bitcoin to go up forever. Well, it's institutions. The US Bitcoin ETFs bought $2.44 billion in Bitcoin in April of 2026, the strongest month of the year. That's nearly double the $1.32 billion bought recorded in March. And remember, this is not the US stock market. This is well, the US ETFs are the US stock market. But what's pushing the spot price, the Bitcoin price in general up, that's global. Check this out. Japan's largest exchange, JPX, just said live on Bloomberg that it will launch Bitcoin and crypto ETFs. Well, I think as far as the crypto is concerned, uh as you may know that at this moment, I mean the u um Japanese FSA uh had a special

committee to discuss about the crypto uh currencies and I think there the new uh revision of the law is at the diet. I think you know we will start forming some sort of a product uh about the of the cryptocurrency next year maybe. So we will do it. So could we dip lower? Could we pump higher? Nobody can see the future. And by the way, anybody trading on exchange partner Bitunix link down below, bare flags, just like the last bare flag, probability wise, tend to break to the downside. Now, we'll see. Anybody trading the current market, especially if you're trying to trade altcoins, I recommend Exchange Partner Bitunix. They have better liquidity, better trading, and sign up now with the link down below

and claim up to $10,000 to trade. But for the institutions, the long-term investors understand they don't care if Bitcoin's price, crypto price drops another 50% in the short term, pumps 50% in the again short term, they are accumulating their positions on the dip, thinking long-term because with the US national debt just surpassing the size of the entire economy for the first time since World War II. So public debt is this, GDP is less. The math is broken. You need to hold hard assets as explained by billionaire investor Tim Draper. Say to people, I mean, I used to say, "Hey, buy some Bitcoin. It's fun. It's interesting. Might be kind of an interesting thing to hold on to." Now I say, "You better hold Bitcoin.

If you want to protect your family, you want to protect your company, you want to protect your country, you better have some Bitcoin. In fact, it's irresponsible now for a company to operate and have a big treasury and not have some portion of that 5, 10, 15% in Bitcoin because well, when Silicon Valley Bank went over out of business, we almost saw the domino effect. We almost lost all the banks right there. And if that ever happens, you as leaders of your businesses are going to be responsible for payroll for at least two, maybe four weeks. And if in Europe, if you're in Europe, you're responsible for payroll for years. and uh and so you better have some Bitcoin on your balance sheets so you can make those payroll

um and keep your business afloat. If you run a family, if you manage a family's money, um you ought to have about six months worth of Bitcoin because if the dollars that you own are suddenly worthless, what are you gonna do? And if you're a government and if there is hyperinflation in your government and the currency goes the way the old Argentinian peso or the Nigerian nairo went and you don't hold any Bitcoin, your government coffers are worthless. So, it's gone from, you know, telling people, "Hey, there's a really interesting opportunity to telling people you should be scared if you don't own Bitcoin. You should be very, very worried." And what about Ethereum?

Stable coins now equal 1.4% of the US M2 money supply. So, in 2020, it was 0%. In 2022, it was8%. and in 2026 1.4% 4% and accelerating. If stable coins capture even 10% of M2, that's a 7x from here. The migration has just started. And do we think this number, stable coin adoption, which benefits Ethereum, benefits Solana, but especially Ethereum, do we think this is going lower or higher? And this is interesting. Ethereum just processed more transactions in a single week than ever before. So 18.5 million transaction on the mainet in the last 7 days. That's 38% up week overw week and 100 and 10% up year overyear. Do not take your eyes off of Ethereum. And what about

altcoins? Well, for XRP, in a direct quote from one of the leadership, Brad Garlinghouse, he says, "Today, Ripple is still the largest holder of XRP on the planet. We are the most interested party in seeing XRP be successful. Meaning we hold the most. We have the most incentive to see XRP thrive. I think most of you have already watched or a lot of you have already watched biggest moment for XRP crypto happening now. This was very eye opening because as institutional adoption paves the next 5 10 years in crypto, Ripple's strategy as explained by I believe still CTO David Schwarz. The strategy for Ripple is interesting.

The way I think about Ripple's strategy is enterprise today to pave the way for retail tomorrow. That's what happened with the internet. The first customers of the internet were government, military, even large corporations and that's what built an internet that had the things that ordinary people wanted. I think our strategy is enterprise today because we don't have we don't what do we have that like the average person in America in the crypto decide space? What do we have that the average person in America needs? not all that very little and that's why DeFi has been stuck at about $150 billion or so the last two years. So, uh Dop so we need to be able to have the stuff that ordinary people payments,

checking accounts, banking accounts, loans, sensible investments, equities, treasuries, things like that. Guys, my brother and I have been at Bitcoin conference all week. It was so much fun. We dropped a lot of clips on our X account. Anybody recognize this? We've expanded our entourage on our exac account link down below. Check it out. A lot of clips from the Bitcoin conference. Woo. A lot of clips. Like here our big talk on the main stage. Now I believe the money system is corrupt. The more I learn about inflation, the more I understand, wow, I need to do everything in my power to have as least amount of dollars as I can because the people who save in dollars, as Michael Sailor says, we call them poor. and find

hard assets before this entire thing blows up. Linked on our Twitter. Check it out.
