Summary

At the top of Friday Night Live, 10 October 2025, we explore Bitcoin's recent volatility, analyzing its high of $121,328 and subsequent drop to $116,000. I discuss how geopolitical tensions and trade policies, including Trump's remarks on China, impact market sentiment and create sell-offs. Using my stock trading background, I highlight the psychological dynamics at play and the interconnectedness of global economies. This discussion equips listeners with insights into navigating the unpredictable cryptocurrency landscape, whether you're a seasoned trader or a curious observer.

0:00.0	All right, everybody. Good evening, good evening. Welcome to 10, 10, 25th the year,
0:06.3	not quite year, but in fact, the micro-millisakative history of currency of Bitcoin's
0:13.0	guillotine-like bloodbath as it executes those paper hands that let things go. So we're going to do a little bit of Bitcoin at the beginning
0:22.9	and then I go, whatever you want to talk about. But let's talk about this. I mean, I enjoy
0:29.2	opening the Bitcoin price. It's exciting. Not as exciting as it used to be. Boy,
0:34.3	it used to be even more exciting. But right now, Bitcoin was at $121,328 at 10.55 a.m.
0:46.8	Yeah, you heard that sound. October 10th. Now, on Truth Social, yeah, maybe buy an iPod

1:10.1	I never thought it would come to this, but perhaps
1:12.1	as with all things, the time has come. Ultimately, though, potentially painful, it will be a very

1:23.0	increase of tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America.
1:29.5	There are many other countermeasures that are likewise under serious consideration.
1:34.6	Thank you for your attention in this matter.
1:37.2	Starting after this, all markets, including Bitcoin, took a tumble to around the
1:43.2	$116,000 level. Now, why? Why? Well, A, I don't know.
1:54.6	B, I also don't know. C, here's a ridiculous amateur theory. None of this is investment advice, do your own research, make your own decisions.
2:03.0	But based on my history coding for stock trading companies, I would say something along
