I am not Bitcoin Ben. He contacted me this morning, said he's in the middle of nowhere with no

internet connection. So Sherpa, you got to handle the show. So everyone, oh, we've got my show going

on this side. Let me shut that off. But yeah, so good morning everybody. So Ben's out, Sherpa's

covering the show today. We're going to have a little micro Sherpa show. If you don't follow my

channel, crypto Sherpa, I cover the daily crypto news on my channel. Usually every day, I did not

cover yesterday because there was nothing really going on the news. Bitcoin was doing pretty good.

We were like at 70,000, 71,000 and we're holding that range. And I love that with Bitcoin right now.

I compared everything else going on in the world. Like Bitcoin is kind of holding strong right now.

Like, let's see. Let me pull up this chart. Do do do. Here we go. So, oh, I'm pointing up to

SMP 500 chart. But we're comparing like Bitcoin with what's going on. Like this took place around like

a month ago. This is the month long chart. Looks like they are down 1%. But when we go over to Bitcoin's

price range, let me pull that up. Here we go. Let's go to the month chart. So we are up 1.8%. So

compared to the SMP 500 Bitcoin, Bitcoin's kind of actually doing well compared to what's going on

with Iran. Yeah, there's a lot of news out there. Like I think Trump saying like it could end soon,

which the markets and crypto sides taking it quite quite well. But then if it still goes on,

people out there like Arthur Hayes had a nice interview with Natalie Bernoulli talking about like

the longer this goes on, the Fed will have to print more money. And of course, when that happens,

Bitcoin goes up. But right now, yeah, this is the monthly chart for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is kind of

holding that 70,000. That's our support level which always testing 72. A lot of markets out there

are saying that we will not like for the trend to change. We need to like at least pass 78,000. So

Bitcoin can still do that. Like there's still a chance usually in the months of like March right now.

Like let's take a look at the current Bitcoin performance by year. So this is a chart showing all

the previous years of Bitcoin right now. And like the screen line is us. And so from since 2025 to 2022,

I could bring out more charts out there. Like we have some spikes going on during this time right

here. So March, April, May, there's some spikes. But this is a midterm year. I love this chart on

bullmaniacs. And it was like pull up all the data charts. Let's take a look at the midterm years.

Like how do midterms usually look like? Well, like if we follow daily charts and we don't have this,

well, we we see that there is a spike during these months. We still may have a downward trend

this year. Like what's the average going? Yep. So this is the average for past,

this white line for past midterm years going on right now. And the price of Bitcoin right now is

following it. So this is a potential future that could happen. I've always thought to back that

like I always saw like back in the day. I'm not back in the day. I always said like a couple of

months ago when we were unsure what's going on. We had ETS come in pro Bitcoin president. Everyone

thought cycles changed completely. So like we were speculative myself. Do you have a Nashville?

Like I always have discussions like with people where do you think the market's going? People

have no idea. Right now it's just looking like the charts are still going through. But some like

I was still say like what we got pushed back a year. So there's still a chance we could still have

another run. And that could depend on a AI out there. But let's see. I know CZ was it CZ or

Binance said something early. Let me pull some tweets here. Let's see. What did Binance say?

New yes. Binance report showed that the following US midterm elections Bitcoin has rallied

an average of 54% in all three post midterm years on record. And midterm elections are this year.

So let's see let's go back to this chart. So we're looking at the previous election. So this could

happen like this could be our chart for this year. But then 2027 could be our bullish like our

switch around our whole turn around. Let's take a look at some of the years and we go back to the

all years. Let me remove some of these dates out here. So let me go that went down. Let me see.

Let me remove 2025. Let me remove 2024 2023 2022 2020. Wait, I want 2021 because I know we're looking

for midterm years. So that would be 2019 and 2022. I believe these are midterm years. And let me

just remove the rest of them. So we can take a look at what usually it looks like.

Nope. I know I had the correct one last time. Where was it? Is it this guy? 2021 and 2019 or 2018

or 20. Oh yeah. So here we go. I think this is it for previous midterm years or the years after

midterm years. Like Bitcoin does have rallies after it. So we could be seeing a change there. But

that's what some people are saying out there. Binance reports. And just Bitcoin's doing quite well.

Right now we've had five months of negative. Bitcoin can hold green. We're going to change that

negative red pattern. And I love that. But all right. What's going on? The quick little tidbit news going

on. Some people are calling me. Glow and calls for a $10,000 Bitcoin. Bloomberg should you just mic

me. Glow and says Bitcoin could still fall below $10,000 sign for long micro driven unwinds.

Other analysis disagree saying that drop deep would likely require an extreme global liquid

crisis or even a nuclear war. And I believe like this number is way too low. There is

no way that's going to we're going to drop to $10,000. Like that is just way too low. Like my

prediction if you have a bottom could be 45 being the lowest lowest. But we don't know. It could

be 55. Like where am I getting my numbers from? I like to look for the long term Trevor Bitcoin

through the 200 week moving average. The SMA moving average. Let me pull that one up again. So

we can see where that week is because that's usually the churning point for it. So here we go.

Back to bullmania Bitcoin moving average. So here's our Bitcoin moving average chart. The

screen line is still priced at 58,000. Now I expect us to dip to potentially here until we have

that churn around all the way back up to new potentially new time highs like we're on new bull run

because right now we're still in a bearish narrative going on. And until we touch this this is

usually the bullish momentum or some of the best like investments happen at this time right here.

So we have some people a lot of people out there waiting for us to hit that mark and then start

buying it and that could definitely reverse the trend. So I personally do not think

we're going to ever hit 10,000. That's way too low. 45 is a maybe with everything going on

this base AI like really taking over crypto soon with all these AI agents coming out. It's like

they're going to be using crypto and Bitcoin because they're not going to be screened a bank account

out there. So I got feel like we could change really fast. But so I don't think we can hit 10,000 and

my guess is 45 or we just turn around right now and I would love to see that Bitcoin skyrocket

to 100 and 125 and the new all time highs. So anything can happen to space and that's over here.

But also because Bitcoin's holding though we're also here at Bitcoin's narrative is kind of switching

to a like a safe haven again. And the past people were like when we had that downwards trend

Bitcoin tips 60 people started like questioning. No, the narrative change is not safe haven but now

because it's holding during these crisis times people are switching back so people are

wish-wash out there. But what else is going on in the news? I'll cover more of these articles in

my show at noon at noon today. But JP Morgan Chase hit with class action lost to over $328

million cryptocurrency schemes. So what's JP Morgan up to? First we have word that big banks are

potentially see Wall Street for giving crypto exchanges like banking access and rights. And then

we have the banking industry really stifling the clarity act out there. So this fights this

crazy but what's JP Morgan involved with? So the complaint claims that the scheme was run by

Goliath Ventures and the CEO Christopher Delgado who was arrested by federal authorities on

February 24th, 2026. Investors were told their funds would be used for cryptocurrency trading

strategies and digital assets arbitrage but prosecutors alleged that the operation functioned

as a classic Ponzi scheme in which new investor funds were used to pay earlier investors.

Now according to the lawsuit JP Morgan Chase provided the essential banking infrastructure that

allowed the scheme to operate and allegedly processing hundreds of millions of dollars in

investor deposits facilitating these transfer to current accounts and then enabling payments

in this create the illusion of a legitimate investment return. Now the complaint alleges that

Chase handled approximately 250 million dollars in deposits through a key account tied to the

operation allowed to more than 120 million dollars to be transferred to crypto exchange accounts

linked to the scheme. Now the plaintiff claimed that the bank ignored obvious red flags including

rapid inflows and outflows of funds, a combing glean of investment money, circular payments,

patterns and transfers are inconsistency with the company's stated crypto trade business.

Now the lawsuit seeks damages on behalf of the investor's nationwide and acts it and accuses

JP Morgan of a 18 of a bedded negligence unjust enrichment and any violations of California's

unfair competition. So how much even was this scheme again? Like what was it? Huh don't we say?

What's the amount they're going for? They're going to try to get they're going to try to get out of

at least let's see so class actually over 328 sorry is going to get the full amount back or

is that they how much it is. All I know is when banks do bad things they just get a slap on their

wrist and move on. If it was someone like just an individual citizen out there who did something

they get the book they get slammed but they get thrown in jail. Luckily we've seen some reversals

in the past with a crypto side of it all like Ross Oldbright getting pardoned and then who is

the other guy or someone else to their time for just they they were developers in crypto and they

got thrown the hammer because they affected their system. So that's not right right backster

and yes backster still here and alive with us. So JP Morgan is taking his gain a class action

lawsuit and potentially this is going to be a slap or wrist move on but again times are changing

pretty fast. Banks are going to be losing a lot of money as we keep advancing with adoption

because again like once we saw cracking earlier this week or was the last week got like the

federal banking account something they got something but now they don't need to go through

another trusted bank partner anymore. So banks see that crypto is taking away a lot of their

business and they own like that. So they're going to be fighting a lot right now and eventually

they're going to lose because Bitcoin and crypto is just going to win this it's we've known it is

this technology is evolving so fast right now and it's hard to keep up with it. So yeah JP Morgan

hit with a class action lawsuit and then let's see is there any other kind of negative news out there.

Oh well this is a funny news because Sam Bakeman freed is still trying to get a new trial out

there. He is a guy from FTX who stole lots of people's money pretend to be in exchange didn't

really even have a bank account or all that stuff. So he is yeah prosecutors are urging the

judge to reject Sam Bakeman's freeds bids for a new trial. So yeah way to go hopefully they don't

get another one. He should like some people should have been part of crypto like I said Ross

Littleborough like people deserve it this man. No he needs to serve his time. So yeah so hopefully the

judges do reject Sam Bakeman freeds playing for a new trial. And then let's see lastly I was going

to cover this news yesterday but like this was the really only thing but breaking mastercard launches

a program to connect crypto with global banking partnering with 85 plus companies including

Circle, Ripple, Salona, PayPal, GemLive, Binance, Paxus, Avila Habs and so many others. So what is

some people coming on this? Funny how Bitcoin's not on that list. I'm sure it is but 85 companies

can somebody provide the entire list. So let's see if there's more data on this. No somebody's got

to ask rock. Like you know it's always fun if you can just ask rock this. Let's take a look at that.

Like you like this is our our life now like we see a post on Twitter. It's like we need to use AI

to ask us like what does this mean? Okay so what does this mean for crypto? And I'll just paste

in that post and let's see what rock has to say. And again this is like the easy AI that we all

get to hand. I was taking a look at some AI agents yesterday. I want to start mine but I don't

want to fall on some pit traps like right now the beginners in this space because some people can

spend a lot of money again AI agent to run and then blow through all their funds and then can't

keep their agent running. So let's see them. The this is major bullish development for crypto is

adoption integration to traditional finance master cards officially once they crypto program March 11th

we knew about that the current date it's global initiative 85 crypto. So this is just

explority. It's a form form dollar collaboration forming master card so stablecoin issues like

circle payment giants like PayPal moonpikes. So I guess this is ingrained master card with a lot of

other crypto platforms out there. So that's pretty bullish news like everything's going to be on

chain. Everyone's going to be using crypto. And let's see lastly I just want to share the

circle. I'll just cover more of than on my show but Bitcoin miners are sitting on a gold mine as

AI demand ramps up says Vanneck. So Vanneck Matthews say go argue that miners are redirecting

infrastructure to AI while trading at a discount for two traditional data center peers. So yeah

I like booming even faster now it's gathering a lot of data like it needs to run on the same

infrastructure like Bitcoin runs it takes a lot of energy they need data centers for it. So we're

seeing some like miners out there either convert their power over to AI or they're becoming hybrid.

So this could be like a new future how Bitcoin mining and AI kind of linked together. So Vanneck's

head of digital assets research Matthews sigle said that Bitcoin miners are sitting like gold

as power hungry AI demand reshapes electricity and data center markets. He argued that miners

are monetizing existing infrastructure by shifting capacity toward AI and grid balancing services

while trading at a discounted data center peers. Now Siegel said that Bitcoin remains

range bound between 59,000 to 72,000 in the near term 59,000 like then I just say earlier

that like Bitcoin could go to 45 but I'm actually really thinking maybe it could be 55 so

this is sigles like Bitcoin's price range like we could be here the 72 for it sometime but while

long-term holders eased off on selling in recent weeks so people have stopped selling Bitcoin

starting to hold off because they're seeing some changes take place. But yeah so exchange that's

the Bitcoin miners though are early to find that they are sitting on a gold mine in terms of the

cost of capital they can earn by pivoting he said nothing noting that Bitcoin mining firms still

trade at a huge discount to other data center peers on the market caps and megawatt basis.

So sigles argue that Bitcoin mining firms are becoming more relevance a grid management because

they can curtail power usage during peak demand it's a really really useful load balancing tool

he said pointing to an increased demand on the grid from reshoring AI and even defense applications

the way that missiles are shot out of the sky now is using lasers and high intensity electricity

which requires grid resilience he said Bitcoin miners realized early on that they are

additive to the process because they can turn off when the electricity is needed and no one

loses power they just lose a little bit of money and that is so true like because that's always

been the biggest debate out there right now that Bitcoin's bad for the environment like yes it takes

a huge amount of energy but Bitcoin miners always get drawn to the cheapest and best former electricity

they can whether it be renewable energy and whatnot and also they realize they can help stabilize

the energy grid during rough times are we saw this back in like 2021 like Texas had a cold front

storm there's a lot of Bitcoin miners out there and all they had to do was a shut off their power

for just a little bit of time so their miners weren't running money they're just not making money

on mining Bitcoin at the time but all that electricity that those Bitcoin miners were taking were

diverted to housing that needed heat electricity to stay online and not having to black out during

freezing temperatures out there so Bitcoin mining showed us I could help stabilize the grid and

with AI coming into play too now like Bitcoin can help out a little bit more with this so that's

pretty interesting stuff going on but yeah so that's really it for the new little quick tidbit of

news I'm one can he doing some more research I have some more news articles on my show at

noon o'clock against the crypto sherpa show you don't do not stay tuned but yeah so everyone
