BITCOIN REVEALED: The True Story | September 8, 2026

I grew up with nothing. Success felt
impossible until I found crypto in 2018.
I made every mistake, chasing hype and
holding coins to nearly zero. I then
found technical analysis and it changed
everything. My perspective on this
industry and my success within it. Now
I'm passing that knowledge on to you.
Welcome to Bitcoin Revealed, the true
story. [music]
Hey folks, Nick Valdez here, chief
crypto strategist for verified
investing. And today we got to talk
about a huge, huge exploit that happened
to liquid Bitcoin. That is a sidechain
project, a DeFi protocol, if you will,
on the Bitcoin network. And there was a
major hack and the hackers have now
given back 85% of the Bitcoin that they
then you know they they said they
basically exposing a vulnerability.
They're trying to help them but they
kept 15%. And we're going to go over the
Bitcoin chart, talk about some key
levels and then I'm going to talk about
the hottest altcoin in the crypto space
right now. That's right now is probably
Aerod Drrome and we'll check in on the
pawns and I'm in a trade. I am in a
trade right now and I'm going to share
that at the end of the stream. So, let's
go ahead smash that like button. I see
you guys talking about the hot bean
juice. So,
there you go, folks. A little hot bean
juice. I drink my coffee black. Let me
know how you drink it down in the
comment section. Let's jump into the
Bitcoin chart. Now, we've talked about
this key level of resistance. This is
from the wick low November to the May
highs right here. And you can see price
still continuing to reject off that
level. Came very close to pushing into
it over the holiday weekend. This is
Saturday or sorry, this is uh Sunday's
candle. Then we have Monday's candle and
then we see what's happening today. But
I do have a little bit of a Let's zoom
in folks. I want to talk about some of
these key levels. I'm noticing a little
bit of a parallel channel starting to
establish itself. If you go from the low
right here until the high that we saw
August 24th, that then created a little
bit of a channel. And in fact, you can
see a nice rejection right there. And we
tried to wick above. We tried to break
above right here. Price was then
rejected. And if you look, wow, we
actually hit it again. So again, this is
just establishing a parallel channel
from these two points. And then we see a
nice little uh area right here. Let me
get my pin tool. Where is the pin is
mightier than the sword. I had a
rectangle open. So you can see it
happened right here and then again right
here. But what I also find fascinating
is the midway point. We also see a
little bit of rejection right there. And
you can see the price bounced again and
then price tried to push above. These
are four hour candles. One, two, three,
four, five different candles. A a period
of 20 hours. Then price was pushed down.
And so I'm looking at this key level for
a potential area of support for Bitcoin.
If you're looking at the the dollar
amount, 76,500
roughly. But things can uh turn turn
quickly on a dime. Now, let's talk about
the exploit that happened on Bitcoin,
folks. Uh, this is major major news if
you're using that protocol. Let's get
into what is happening. Well,
not great. It's not great. Uh, it's not
great, Bob. I think that's the saying.
Isn't that how it goes, folks? All
right. So, look at this. So, white hat
hackers, the difference between a white
hat and a black hat, black hat, they're
nefarious. They're going to they're
going to keep it all. White Hat hackers,
this one's in quotation marks because
they didn't keep 15%. They'll expose a
vulnerability for you and then give you
your funds back. This case, they gave
85% of the funds back. So, they drained
$4,000 Bitcoin, $320 million from
Blockstream's liquid network. This is
kind of think of it as a side chain. How
Ethereum has this is slightly different.
And I know I'm just trying to simplify
the the message here, but Ethereum has
arbitum, it has Robin Hood chain, it has
base chain. You could think of Bitcoin,
you know, has Lightning Network. This is
going to be the liquid network. Well,
they stole 4,000 Bitcoin and then they
gave back 3,400 after the bug was
patched. They I don't mean to laugh. Uh
probably felt bad for them. They ended
up keeping roughly 600 Bitcoin, 47
million as a self-declared bug bounty.
So, they drained Bitcoin, gave back most
of it, kept a little bit as a bounty,
and now it does seem like uh, you know,
Liquig is fine. It doesn't seem like
there's any more issues at the moment.
But folks, you got to be very careful
with DeFi. You got to be very careful
with bridges. There's always going to be
exploits as AI is starting to sharpen
their tools, folks. They're like Edward
Scissor Hands. These are very, very
sharp tools that they're holding on to,
and they might be used to slice your
portfolio. People want to to look at
Salana. We'll look at Salana, folks.
Don't worry. Uh when you talk about gray
hat hackers at best, I I would probably
agree with that. Don't worry. We'll
we'll check out Salana, XRP, some of
these top altcoins, Cardano as well. And
then we'll talk about the major move for
Aerodrome and how honestly we could
blame Hunter Biden for the pump. I'll
explain in a little bit. Now, Ethereum,
you see a nice little declining trend
line here. Still trying to break above
this range. So until then, folks, I'm
I'm kind of hanging on the sideline. But
what I love about this chart? Well, what
formation is this, folks? This is a bull
flag. Now, the way you would measure a
bull flag if you're looking for a
potential target, you would look at the
pole and then you would move that to the
breakout area and then that would give
you a level there. That's going to be
around $3,200.
So, keep an eye out on that range for
Ethereum. not saying it's uh you know if
we do break to the upside bull flags
don't always play out though folks. So
uh you know just a little bit of a
warning for you. Let's look at the
Salana chart. Salana also looking a
little bull flagish folks. I'm liking
what I'm seeing right here but you know
until we could break out. I'm not liking
uh the current choppy price action right
now. Price is just kind of chopping. Now
we were looking at this level right
here. We go from the peak to the peak
and you can see nice little area of
support. I think this should continue to
act as support. In fact, look at that
candle close right there. Uh and you can
see the candles would not close below
this range. One day, two day, three
different days tried to push below this
level, but the bulls were still in
charge, folks. So, keep an eye out on
that little just uh ascending slightly
slightly ascending trend line on Salana.
Loving this XRP chart here. And so you
can see a nice declining trend line. And
then we did wick above this range, but
then look at that. Bam. Rejected against
it. Rejected against it. I'm watching
this for a potential short opportunity
on XRP. I know a lot of people hate XRP.
A lot of people love XRP, but you know
what? You just got to trade it, folks.
Uh, who said that? I said that. Don't
hate it. Don't date it. Just trade it.
All right. Let's look at Cardano here.
Cardano looking at this area of support
in my opinion. You can see price chopped
around here for four days. One, two,
three, five, uh, technically one, two,
three, four, five different days. Nice
little period of consolidation, nice
little area of support. Uh, did wick
above, but that is technically close
enough, and at least in my opinion, a
dogee reversal candle. So, when you see
the candle body in a very very tight
range with a long wick above, long wick
below, if it's near a local top or near
a local bottom, uh some people like 30
days, some people like 60 days, some
people like 150 days. Let's actually
measure this. This was a 81 day. So,
this would probably fit most people's
parameters. This is a technically a
reversal signal. And then we did see
price push below and price has yet to
close above this wick on Cardono. All
right, now let's talk about the hot coin
right now and that is Aerod Drone and
that's going to bring us again to what
is happening here. Well, this one's
actually I'm going to hit you with the
second graphic crypto in politics. This
one, the former president's son. Now, we
could talk about Trumpcoin, Melaniacoin.
I got plenty of hot spicy takes on that
one. I'm not going to get into it right
now. If you want to let me know how you
feel about it in the comments, feel
free. I will I'll read all the comments,
folks. I'll I'll probably have a good
time replying to you folks. But Hunter
Biden is launching a coin tomorrow.
There's a lot Wall Street Journal just
did a big article on it, folks. There's
a lot of moving parts with this one. I'm
not going to break down everything, but
so what's happening here? It's called
the laptop memecoin. I kid you not. He's
promoting this heavily. We're seeing
major publications start to run with
this story. It's launching on base. So,
what is Bass? Bass is Coinbase's
Ethereum layer 2. And so, he's launching
on Coinbase. Coinbase has nothing to do
with this, folks. This is just a
permissionless blockchain. So, anybody I
could launch a coin on there. You can
launch a coin on there. In this case,
Hunter Biden's launching a coin on
there. Now, why are we looking at
Aerodrome? Well, number one, there is no
base token. Uh, the closest thing to a
base token is going to be Coinbase. So,
Aerodrome is the number one
decentralized exchange and main
liquidity hub for uh let's just say the
base ecosystem. So, a lot of trading.
Now, not a lot of total value locked.
That's a that's going a little bit too
deep. I don't want to go too deep here.
I just want to keep this explanation
simple. But this is where most of the
trading happens. There's more trading on
by volume more trading on Aerodrome than
Uniswap or Pancake Swap. And that sounds
like I'm speaking gibberish to you. You
know, stick around with this channel. I
I'll explain all these things. The more
you watch, folks, we will reveal the
crypto landscape and the Bitcoin
landscape. And so, a lot basically the
lion share of trading happens on
Aerodrome because Hunter Biden's coin is
going to be a highprofile event. There's
going to be a lot of trading volume. You
know, you ever see those old footage of
the stock market? THEY'RE LIKE, "BUY
THIS, BUY THIS, SELL THIS. I GOT 8740."
UH YOU know that's what you're going to
see. They actually used to do fractions
back in the day but that's neither here
nor there. So this is one of the most
important protocols on base for trading
and liquidity. And now folks, we're
starting to see a sharp sharp pullback.
This thing had a major move in a very
small amount of time here. Let's see. I
mean look at that pump. This at one
point was up 20% uh in a very short
amount of time. In fact, it's up 26% in
14 hours. Huge huge huge rally there.
Uh, but now starting to see a little bit
of a pullback and I'll I'll show you
this yellow line in a second. I mean,
now it's actually starting to pull back
pretty heavily down 9.3%. Let's go back
to the the daily chart here. Let me
click on the daily. So, look at this
from peak to peak. This was a very
shortable level. Now, this happened at
midnight after midnight. So, I missed
it, folks. I didn't I didn't get in a
trade, but don't worry, I will share a
trade in a little bit. So, that's all
eyes on the Hunter Biden memecoin. I
don't know if people are going to buy
Ethereum to try to trade this, but could
potentially happen. Let's check in on
the pawns trade. I took profit, folks. I
hope you took profit. If you jumped in
with us at 37 cents, in fact, we were
talking about this parallel channel. I
gave you a level. We tested it twice in
like the six hours after this live show
and we are up. We are up from 37 cents.
Uh, let's go. Boom. We are up 120%. So
if you jumped in on the live stream, you
have more than doubled your money. But
take profits, get your initials out, get
in, get out. Uh the thing about Pawns,
it's on Robin Hood chain and when you
trade on this Pawns ecosystem, think of
it as their pump uh fund clone. Trading
will generate fees, okay? That's making
money for this protocol. 80% of the
money they make goes to buy back the
token and they burn the token. All
right? So pretty interesting uh let's
just say I don't know flywheel I guess
now I am in a very speculative coin. I'm
not saying jump in on this one. This is
uh kind of where I'm going to I have
rolled some of my Robin Hood profits or
not Robin but profits in the Robin Hood
chain. Some of my pawns profit my ponzet
pawns fit I don't know my profit here
into this one. And uh I'm pretty close
to maybe even uh taking taking some some
off the table here. Ran talked about
this one. It is up in tremendously since
he talked about it basically a half mil
market cap. I didn't quite uh you know
maybe a little bit greedy. This one is
just it's called Macintosh. You buy it,
you get Apple, you get tokenized shares
on Robin Hood. So pretty interesting
one. I did say we're in a trade right
now. This is Bitcoin revealed. Let's
reveal the trades, everybody. This is
the trade that I'm looking at. Uh
Pancake Swap. This isn't a cooking show.
All right. We had Sushi Swap. We had
Pancake Swap. Uh there's there used to
be just a meta of food tokens and food
exchanges. They're all the same. They're
all Yeah. If it's not Bitcoin, it's
trash, folks. That's why we primarily
focus on Bitcoin. It's why we, you know,
Bitcoin is the king Apex asset. It's
still the king of the jungle. That's
never going to change, folks. Maybe
there's a world where there's more
tether on chain than Bitcoin as far as
value, but it's still going to be number
one. Let's talk about the trade we are
in right now. Now, I think I got Yeah,
last 30 days. We have not had a negative
trade in the entire month of September.
Now, big shout out to our sponsor
Bitbase. If you want to do some trading,
uh, you know, we we do have a link down
below. I highly recommend that. If you
look at today's trades, we made about
200 bucks. So, we didn't trade on
Friday. It was Crypto Combat. We didn't
trade on Monday. Stay around, stay away
on it from the weekends here. You see,
made about 75, then made about 130. So,
we're up over 200. And if you want to
just make sure, you know, check all of
September.
Every single trade in September, folks.
Every single trade in September. We have
yet to have a negative trade in
September. Now, we are literally break
even. Wow. That's Why does it keep doing
that? Uh, yeah, this this it's it's so
wild. We were all over the place during
this entire show. All right, now we're
in profit. Now we're in profit. I'm in
on a polka dot short. And this is a an
aggressive entry. The safer entry is
going to be right around 123. There's a
lot of liquidations at that level. And
right now, the dot short is playing out,
folks. And so, we will take profit on
this one. Uh maybe as soon as we get
closer to these highs right here. So, I
wouldn't wait to retest this. I mean,
look how clean this uh little area of
support is. I wouldn't wait to retest
it. Get out ahead. Get out ahead.
Singles and doubles. Okay. When you when
you go for home runs, that's when you
end up getting wrecked, folks. And
sometimes I just got work to do. And so
I'll just close a trade and profit. Does
it keep going in, you know, the
direction I predict? Sure. Sure it does.
But, you know, folks, you got to get in.
You got to get out, folks. Trading can
take up a lot of your time. So, uh, make
sure you get in and just get those
singles and doubles, folks. Don't go for
the Babe Ruth swings, all right? because
then you're going to end up like Babe
Ruth. You're going to end up
alone, destitute, and sloppy. All right?
And you don't want to be you don't want
to be those three things. No offense to
the Babe Ruth fans out there. But
everybody, smash that like button on the
way out. I like sharing the trades as I
enter them. Uh, you know, profitable
trades. Like we said, not a single bad
trade. Check us out Monday through
Thursday, 1:30 p.m. Eastern Standard
Time. We're always coming to you and
revealing the dark underbelly of the
crypto ecosystem. And if you aren't a
crypto expert, you're behind. Pay
attention. Hey, listen closely. Hey,
thank you, Freedom, for all the support.
I do appreciate all the the comments
that you guys leave. That's why I try to
reply to every single one of you. I know
you're taking time out of your day to
type in those messages. I can at least
take the time out to respond, you know,
and just show the support. I I really do
appreciate it. Very close to selling my
house in Georgia.
If I can sell that house, I can get out
of this rental that I'm in and then
start looking for some Floridaian real
estate. I want to be below the sea
level. I want to live with the
crocodiles because I am a DJ. I'm I'm
used to the basement. I'm going to stay
in the basement. That's all we got. Show
should be longer. I appreciate that. I
appreciate that. All right, folks. But
hit the like button on the way out and
I'll see you in the future. Appreciate
[clears throat] it. Byebye.
