Max Keiser Roasts Trump, Predicts Bitcoin Will Eclipse Your Student Loans By 2025

by

Welcome to the latest episode of “Why Your Bank Account Can’t Keep Up”—aka the US Crypto News Morning Briefing, where we try to make sense of the wild, caffeinated nonsense that is crypto news and try not to spill our coffee (again). ☕

Do prepare yourself (preferably with a croissant in one hand and anti-anxiety meds in the other) for yet another Bitcoin (BTC) update—the saga continues! Starring Max Keiser, a man with more opinions than my mum reading my diary. His recent musings: Bitcoin is now basically auditioning to overthrow the US dollar, and in true Max fashion, he’s waving around a bold new price prediction and treating fiat money like a fashion faux pas from the 90s.

Oh, Look, Another Modest Bitcoin Prediction (Only $220,000, No Biggie)

This just in: Max Keiser has, once again, dragged his crystal ball out of storage and told BeInCrypto that not only will Bitcoin hit $200,000, it might, in fact, burst forth to $220,000. Apparently, this will also flip global finance on its head—so, you know, casual Tuesday business.

“At $200,000 BTC, we trigger the tipping point when millions of Bitcoiners have the wherewithal and political will to opt out of the banking system and the nation state. I am already seeing this in El Salvador. And the trickle will become a raging torrent at $200,000. And this is just the beginning,” Keiser told BeInCrypto.

Stepping up from his earlier forecast because apparently, even Max can’t resist making the number a little spicier, the new prophecy is for $220,000 in 2025. No pressure, folks—except maybe for the *entire* financial order of earth. 🚀

$220,000 in 2025

Just as things heat up, those old-school types (looking at you, TradFi) are nervously clutching their ledgers as BlackRock’s Bitcoin stash edges up to Satoshi levels. Keiser, never one to understate, has also decided now’s the perfect moment to diagnose ex-President Donald Trump with a “fiat money addiction” (awaiting doctor’s note).

“I offer a solution for trump’s fiat money addiction, fiat money addicts need to find their bottom, and be willing to hear the message of Bitcoin. When Trump is ready to recover, Bitcoin will still be here, just a lot higher in price,” Keiser said.

Reminder: Keiser has been on the $220,000 soapbox since 2022, which, if you’d listened then, might have made you richer than your favourite tech bro. Or at least, your cat.

Bitcoin up 700% since this interview 2 years ago (and $220,000 in 2025 looks likely).

Cue the naysayers with “but volatility!”—yet since BTC scraped $16K lows, it’s been on a tear, so maybe don’t bet against crypto Twitter’s favourite flamethrower just yet. 🧨

If tea leaves and goat entrails aren’t your thing, technicals are lining up too. John Bollinger (yes, that Bollinger) says Bitcoin is ready to break out. And when John puts on a party hat, it’s probably not for nothing.

“Bitcoin looks to be setting up for an upside breakout as the week gets going,” Bollinger wrote in a post.

So, about that ATH (all-time high): Bitcoin poked $111,999 on Binance before taking a quick power nap at $110,849 (+1.25% in 24 hours, nbd unless your salary’s still in fiat).

And Max, ever the drama king, refuses to spoil the exact date we’ll all be $220,000-bitcoin-rich, saying too much info might “scare” the masses. As if we aren’t already panicking about the price of avocados.

“If I gave you both the price and date most of you would be scared,” Keiser added.

And just to fuel your FOMO, Standard Chartered is throwing out $135,000 in Q3 and $200K in Q4 (because apparently nobody’s satisfied until they predict six figures at least). Not to be outdone, Arthur Hayes is feeling ultra-spicy: $250K—assuming the Fed remembers where they left the ‘print more money’ button.

Money Market Funds: Where $7.4 Trillion Go to Nap 💤

Meanwhile, in places where risk is a four-letter word, money market funds are swelling like Auntie Edna’s feet after Christmas dinner. Barchart puts the total at $7.397 trillion—an ATH for all the sofa-change hiding from the markets.

A staggering $7.4 Trillion is now sitting in Money Market Funds, a new all-time high

Translation: Everyone’s waiting for the next crash or miracle. Experts (they exist, allegedly) point out that if these fun tokens actually migrate to Bitcoin, the supply crunch could make 2021’s toilet paper shortage look like a gentle breeze.

“It [money parked in MMFs] is capital that doesn’t trust the system…The moment Bitcoin confirms itself as the reserve-grade escape valve, even a 5% rotation from that $7T pile would obliterate supply and launch BTC into a new monetary regime,” Crypto strategist SightBringer said recently.

But, of course, there are always the fun-police saying it’s nothing to get too excited about—relatively speaking, MMFs are just a drop in the gargantuan, overleveraged equity bucket.

“I’ve noticed a common narrative suggesting that the surge in money market funds means there’s a large amount of cash sitting on the sidelines. That couldn’t be further from the truth, in my view,” macro analyst Otavio Costa challenged.
