Matic Warfare will be your guide 7 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,280 through the separation of money and state. 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,920 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to welcome to Simply Bitcoin, the 9 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,040 most watched daily Bitcoin live show on YouTube. 10 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,200 Rumble and X.

We need more Bitcoin only 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,480 content being pushed so people could see see who the king is. 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,600 Anyways, today we're going to talk about some interesting 16 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,720 stuff. We're going to start off the 17 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,519 week strong. I'm in a good mood because I 18 00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:08,640 leave till Salvador tonight. My first time in Bitcoin 19 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,760 country, the shining country on a hill. 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,760 El Salvador, the savior first country to make a Bitcoin legal 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,640 tender, the beachfront for the Bitcoin movement worldwide. 22 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,920 So I'm really, really excited for that. 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640 But we had some interesting characters. 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,560 We had Pierre, Richard, we had Kathy Wood and they were 25 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,880 throwing some very, very interesting calls for this 26 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,560 cycle. And I also want to make the 27 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,880 case, and I've made this case strongly and I haven't heard 28 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,040 enough people talk about it, how I believe that the last cycle 29 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,640 was cut short because of the China mining ban. 30 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,640 And I think this time things are completely different. 31 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,560 The hash rate is going absolutely parabolic. 32 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,600 I think the reason that we didn't hit 100K minimum last 33 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,440 cycle was because of the China mining ban. 34 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,199 I think this cycle things are completely different. 35 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:13,480 What is different? Well, obviously the China mining 36 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,880 ban could only happen one time. The majority of the hash rate is 37 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,640 located here in the US in the great state of Texas. 38 00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:25,240 Texas is extremely pro Bitcoin. There's some hash track, there's 39 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,640 some hash in in Kazakhstan as well. 40 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,200 It's decentralized worldwide, so I think that the probability of 41 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,680 a mining ban in the middle of the next bull cycle is quite 42 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,760 low. You never know what could 43 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,720 happen, but it's quite low in my opinion. 44 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,400 And also the stars are aligning in the sense that the ETF got 45 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,800 approved January 9th in 2024, the same day many many years 46 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,520 ago. That how Finney tweeted out 47 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,800 January 9th, 2009 running Bitcoin. 48 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,960 So quite a coincidence there, but the ETFs got approved and 49 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,120 the ETFs are absolute game changers. 50 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,760 Not to mention the fact that Larry Fink said that the ETF, 51 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,880 the Bitcoin ETF, was the best performing ETF in history. 52 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,400 Really. Not to mention the fact that the 53 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,200 Bitcoin ETFs, two of them, the Fidelity One and the BlackRock 54 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:24,000 One, are already in the top five out of 3100 ETFs and it's only 55 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,120 been a couple months. So the amount of institutional 56 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,880 demand coming in, you know, is absolutely insane. 57 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,880 And then this month in 2019 days is the Bitcoin halving. 58 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,040 So it looks like all the stars are aligning and you know, if 59 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,800 you take a look at the numbers, it makes sense. 60 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,200 This is the first time in Bitcoin's history that Bitcoin 61 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,280 made an all time high before the halving, right? 62 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,120 So we're in uncharted territory. I think the best is yet to come. 63 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,040 I think we're gonna, you know, this is going to be a great 64 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,800 cycle. And another reason that I 65 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,120 believe so is because a lot of people still have PTSD. 66 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,360 Like if you look at the Wall Street Cheats CHEAT SHEET, one 67 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,320 of the sections is kind of like the disbelief. 68 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,399 I think we all got so PTSD from the last cycle, you know, this 69 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,600 kind of like the the double top and it just didn't really go 70 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,600 parabolic like a lot of people thought that. 71 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,040 A lot of people, what I'm seeing this time, unlike the previous 72 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,440 cycles, the previous cycle, everyone thought that Bitcoin 73 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,520 was gonna hit 100K guaranteed. What I'm seeing this cycle is 74 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,720 that people are like being a little bit bearish and Bitcoin 75 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,760 and markets tend to do the exact opposite of what the masses 76 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,320 think they're gonna do, right. So I think we might be in for, 77 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,800 you know, a pleasant surprise on the price level. 78 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,720 But remember guys, the revolution is self custody. 79 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,600 So you guys could be benefiting from the price if you bought 80 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,240 Bitcoin and you know you bought that Bitcoin ETF, but it's not 81 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,280 really your Bitcoin. So remember guys, buy real 82 00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,920 Bitcoin, earn Bitcoin, mine Bitcoin and take that Bitcoin to 83 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,080 self custody. And you know, that's that's 84 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,680 really how we really change the world. 85 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,720 If enough of us do that, if enough of humanity does that, 86 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,920 that's the separation of money and state. 87 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,880 So anyways we have a lot of video guy. 88 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,880 We have a lot of videos for you guys today, a lot of like kind 89 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,240 of like price speculation, price analysis. 90 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,800 I'm going to make the case for the China ban and also how the 91 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,760 China ban affected the price last run up. 92 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,680 And also I have a video for you guys as well from I think like 93 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,280 10 years ago where they were just talking, you know, S on 94 00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,880 Bitcoin. And you know the price of 95 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,360 Bitcoin at the time was $300 or $400.00. 96 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,240 Right. And the reason I like playing 97 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,640 these types of videos is 10 years from now, where do you 98 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,200 think the price of Bitcoin is going to be? 99 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,320 You know, I think a lot of people are going to kick 100 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,160 themselves in the foot metaphorically for not stacking 101 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,520 those sats AT68K. Anyway, it's going to be a great 102 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,880 show. I want to bring up my legendary 103 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,520 nose.

Second book, which I'm going to 155 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,160 talk about today is the fiction novel Bitcoin Girl. 156 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,880 Save the world, have a new anniversary edition with a new 157 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,720 cover.

So that's A and I promoted that 162 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,160 a couple months ago on simply Bitcoin. 163 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,280 Awesome, man.

And the way that you raise 177 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,880 awareness to this is you make Bitcoin cool, you make you know. 178 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,920 Doubling down that Nico, it's truth versus lies at this point. 179 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,640 Optic coming in strong.

We have a lot to talk about the 227 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,680 Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin in cold storage 228 00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,680 really secure? Is your seed phrase really 229 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,200 secure? Stamp seeds? 230 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,920 Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to 231 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,320 hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates 232 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,520 instead of just writing them on paper. 233 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,000 Don't store your generational wealth on paper. 234 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,920 Papers prone to water damage, fire damage. 235 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,320 You want to put your generational wealth on one of 236 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,440 the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium. 237 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,600 Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this 238 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,040 hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they 239 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,960 aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking 240 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,360 apart and pieces falling everywhere. 241 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,800 Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat 242 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,280 produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof, 243 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,960 waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof. 244 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,640 All things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your 245 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,600 Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul. 246 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,680 Stamp your seed on stamp seed. You wanna make it over the 247 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,920 effing finish line with your Bitcoin and that's why you have 248 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,680 to store your Bitcoin properly on the stamp seed, right? 249 00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:43,760 And no, I get a lot of people asking questions about it. 250 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000 You don't store your you don't send your seed phrase to stamp 251 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,560 seed. They send you a stamp seed 252 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:53,680 storage kit to your house where you literally hammer the seed 253 00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:58,600 phrase into titanium plates so it could last multi generations. 254 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,040 You could pass it on to your grandchildren, your 255 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,160 grandchildren's grandchildren, to the point where you'll be so 256 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,080 badass that they'll put a portrait over the fireplace of 257 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,720 the family home. It'll be like, see my grandpa, 258 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,600 my great, great great grandfather, He was buying 259 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,520 Bitcoin AT70K. Can't believe it. 260 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,240 Anyways, at the time of recording the Bitcoin price is 261 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:27,880 68,580 stats per dollar 1000 four 1458 block height 837,266 262 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,960 blocks to having 2734 having estimate April 20th 2024 Total 263 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:40,920 Lightning network capacity 4407 Bitcoin capacity value 302 264 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:47,040 million U.S. dollars Realized monetary inflation 1.73% The 265 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,200 market capitalization of Bitcoin 1.35 trillion U.S. dollars 266 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,840 Bitcoin versus gold market cap 9.76%. 267 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,320 In the grand scheme of things, Bitcoin is just getting started, 268 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,000 just revving up its engines. Anyways, I do have a video for 269 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,160 us to react to today. Here's Neil Jacobs, and he's 270 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,000 posting a clip from exactly 10 years ago when the Bitcoin price 271 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,040 was at $479. Don't you wish you can buy 272 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,200 Bitcoin at $479? That'd be great. 273 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,200 Anyways, let's check out what the legacy media had to say on 274 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,600 Bitcoin. Let's take a look at it. 275 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,920 Technically, two ways to look at it. 276 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,680 Obviously, rich, big, downtrend from its highs. 277 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,320 Lost more than half its value. But it is only back to the level 278 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,800 it was back in mid November of last year. 279 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,680 It's not like Bitcoin is completely collapsed, you know 280 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,640 to to levels of just a couple of years ago. 281 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,360 Technically, any sign of support here for Bitcoin? 282 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,640 Yeah, it it hasn't completely collapsed yet. 283 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,120 I think is the point here, Brian. 284 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,360 This has transitioned from a trade into a scandal, which is 285 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,640 like a duck transitioning into Ala Raj. 286 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,840 It's not a good thing here from a technical standpoint. 287 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,080 We have this massive descending triangle with the peak up around 288 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,760 1100. The base of that triangle very 289 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,640 well defined around $500. A key psychological level I 290 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,480 guess to some. Now that break below 500 291 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,800 actually projects measure downside to -100. 292 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,320 Now that doesn't really make sense but given the recent 293 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,120 history, given the Mount GOC scandal or jocks if you will, I 294 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,280 could see this thing in negative. 295 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,520 It could actually cost you money to own this thing. 296 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,840 At the end of the day, it could just disappear that quickly. 297 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,200 So not a big fan either. I'm with Gina as well. 298 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,320 Probably get some negative comments out there. 299 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,960 But Brian, this is not a good chart. 300 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,840 It's not a good story. I I I don't know what good could 301 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,800 really come of it at this point. You guys are negative. 302 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,040 Listen, I, I, I don't have an opinion on the way, but I will 303 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,560 say this, it's got a lot of backers, got a lot of believers. 304 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,520 It's got some very powerful. Backers as well. 305 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,240 I'm not sure I'd write Bitcoin off just yet, even though it is 306 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,640 obviously evolving. It's new. 307 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,560 It could change. Someone's got to take the other 308 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,360 side. That's about the best I can do. 309 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,360 Rich Ross, Gina Sanchez, thank you very much. 310 00:16:58,600 --> 00:16:59,960 Folks, what do you think about Bitcoin? 311 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:02,920 Obviously, a difficult last couple of months for the digital 312 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,839 currency or digital property. What will happen? 313 00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:07,240 Let us know. We're on Twitter at CNBC 314 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,520 numbers. I'm Brian Sullivan. 315 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:16,800 Talk to you soon. I mean, I mean that guy must Oh 316 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,119 yes, someone put it in the chat. That guy is now unemployed. 317 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,440 I hope not. That'd be that'd be that'd be 318 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,280 me. But look, the reason that those 319 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,560 videos are so significant is not to beat yourself up and be like, 320 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:36,880 Oh my God, like, it's because you have to remember that you 321 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:42,080 will look back and these times right now, and you will see the 322 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,120 same thing. It's going up forever, Laura, 323 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,000 right? It's Infinity divided by 21 324 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,280 million. So there will be a moment in 325 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:57,280 time where you'll look back 510 years from now and you'll think, 326 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,040 holy crap, this thing was at 60 AK and this thing's now at $1.5 327 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,120 million. Or this thing's at $5 million, 328 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,960 or this thing's at $10 million. You know, you know, 10 years 329 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,080 from now, 15 years from now, 20 years from now, and you had an 330 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,520 opportunity to buy it at 68 K It's going to be the same thing, 331 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,120 right? So those types of videos are 332 00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:25,560 just kind of a like, a reminder. Like, look at the confidence in 333 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,080 that guy's voice. He's like the Mount G ox thing 334 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,440 happened. It's a descending triangle. 335 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,480 This thing peaked at 1000. Oh, it's going back to three, 336 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,360 $200. Could you have imagined buying 337 00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:41,400 this thing at 3 to $200? It would have been insane, 338 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,160 right? So you you when when in doubt, 339 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:49,360 you got to zoom out, right? The opportunity's still there. 340 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,240 The vast majority of the world go into an Uber. 341 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,680 Go talk to people on the street, talk to them about Bitcoin, see 342 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,600 what they say, and you'll know. We're early. 343 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,920 People still don't know what this thing is. 344 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,960 We're jumping the the chasm between or the chasm between the 345 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,840 innovator stays the early adopter to the early majority, 346 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,520 right. We're like jumping that we're in 347 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,880 the process of that. I really believe we're in the 348 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,040 beginnings of the early majority phase. 349 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,080 There's still a minimum of 100 X in this thing, right? 350 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,200 So you got to ask yourself, you know you're going to, you're 351 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,320 going to be that guy. At least the anchor was humble 352 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,280 enough to be like, you know, a lot of powerful people like he 353 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,000 had a little bit of humility, right? 354 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,080 But that guy doesn't look very, very smart right now. 355 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,040 So you either jump on the train or you get left behind. 356 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:44,720 Now all of that being said, I want you guys to put that video 357 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,600 in your forefront. When we start talking about when 358 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,840 we start playing you guys, the videos from Pierre, Richard and 359 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,520 Kathy Wood, and they're talking about $1,000,000 Bitcoin, $1.5 360 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,280 million Bitcoin, right? Just just put that video in your 361 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,480 mind. If you think it's unbelievable, 362 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,520 if you think it can't happen as quickly as they say it could 363 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,880 happen, no one knows the future. But I can tell you something. 364 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,520 There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. 365 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,560 It is the best asset the world has ever seen. 366 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,640 It is a black hole. It's the best money the world 367 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,000 has ever seen. It is uncorruptible sound money 368 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,400 that is, you know, literally designed to go up forever. 369 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,960 Because they're going to continue printing dollars 370 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,960 forever. So anyways Opti, I want to get 371 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,040 your point on. I want to get your thoughts on 372 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,400 that dude, that guy. Like holy cow man, holy cow. 373 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:47,440 Look look to be fair, at that point Bitcoin was still new. 374 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,800 Like no one knew what it was. Like all the on ramps that you 375 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,160 guys benefit from right now, like Bitcoin. 376 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,280 Well and all the other ones, they didn't exist back then. 377 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,680 Like it would like this thing. Like Mount Gox was the thing, 378 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,240 right. So the thing to buy Bitcoin 379 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,840 literally just disappeared off the face of the planet. 380 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,800 So it was very uncertain times. Michael Saylor, even at that 381 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,560 moment in time, that moment in history was like, no, this 382 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,160 thing's going to go away, right? So it's a lot easy to say. 383 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,640 It's a it's a lot easier to say, oh, I would have bought Bitcoin 384 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,800 at that time. No, there is a whole lot more 385 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,720 uncertainty now. There's a lot more certainty 386 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,400 right now. I think it's incredibly obvious 387 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,520 at this point, but there's still people that don't think so, 388 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,800 which is why Bitcoin is still only at 68. 389 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,320 Ki think if people really woke up to Bitcoin and they really 390 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,920 found out how powerful this thing is, I think we would be 391 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,680 north of 100K easily by now. Anyways. 392 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,160 Opti, what's your take? And then we'll get Will's take. 393 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,800 Yeah, just on that last point, I I always say it on the show, I 394 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,440 don't know every other couple of weeks that I think the Bitcoin 395 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,280 price is a real time metric of people's understanding of 396 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,480 Bitcoin. And like Niko said, you know, if 397 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,640 people really understood what Bitcoin is, then we'd have a lot 398 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,120 more people holding Bitcoin currently and we wouldn't be at 399 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,240 these prices. So this has been an opportunity 400 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,600 for all of us to try to stack as much Bitcoin as humanly possible 401 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,800 before the Larry thinks of the world came in. 402 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,760 And you know, going back in time, what what year was this? 403 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,240 This was around Mountain Gox. So, you know, a long time ago in 404 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:26,680 Bitcoin world and real like in the recent memory or rather in 405 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,880 the current zeitgeist of where Bitcoin is like in my opinion 406 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,280 and to all of us bitcoiners and I think to anyone that is 407 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,680 starting to gain interest in Bitcoin, Bitcoin is the least 408 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,920 risky thing to be holding today. It's been de risk. 409 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,880 You know, we have Larry Fink now embracing Bitcoin sailors been 410 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,320 vindicated. We have IE Bukele with El 411 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,600 Salvador having Bitcoin. And so that signal is getting 412 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,840 out there. And we had a really cool 413 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,840 conversation the other day Nico and I and I don't wanna dox him 414 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,120 but a friend of ours was basically telling us that he was 415 00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:02,000 having conversations with very high net worth individuals and 416 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,600 you know basically traders and and people with with a lot of 417 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,360 capital and they are moving slowly right now and they're 418 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:11,560 doing the research like they basically do their research 419 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,200 before they invest a lot of money. 420 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,680 Whereas all of us bitcoiners just like throw money at it and 421 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,000 then we learn on the back end. So we're seeing that the signal 422 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,440 is starting to spread and it's getting de risked in real time 423 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,840 and people are looking towards Bitcoin as a viable solution, or 424 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,240 rather a viable alternative to the traditional financial world. 425 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,600 And in that time when that video was being played, most people, 426 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,600 even bitcoins, didn't even know what they were holding. 427 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,760 And it's just funny because I don't even remember how many 428 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,320 obituaries there are for Bitcoin. 429 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,560 But Bitcoin never dies. And every time I see these types 430 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,680 of videos, it always reminds me of the early, like, I don't 431 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,840 know, early 20, 10s, ish when or early 2000s rather when people 432 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,680 were talking about like the impact of the Internet or social 433 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,800 media. And you see these clips all the 434 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,000 time on the Internet and they had no idea what the Internet 435 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,080 is. They're like literally like 436 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,640 monkeys looking at typewriters, like what is this thing? 437 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,240 And if you go and look back on those videos, you're just like, 438 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,040 Oh my God, like the Internet is basically ubiquitous with the 439 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,680 modern world. And even when a new technology 440 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,960 like the Internet comes out, people are still hesitant. 441 00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:22,680 They don't understand and what it is, they're afraid of change. 442 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,880 And it's just funny looking back at old Bitcoin videos because it 443 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,360 reminds me of people talking about, you know, I think there's 444 00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,680 one of like Oprah talking about the Internet and they're like 445 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,640 this. They don't understand what's 446 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,720 going on. And and this is just kind of the 447 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,000 the, the, the facts of the matter when new technology comes 448 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,120 out, people, I wouldn't say they're dumb, but they're slow 449 00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:46,440 to deep dive the technology until it has an actual effect on 450 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,280 society and we're seeing this happen in real time in Bitcoin. 451 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,800 So it's so awesome looking back on those videos. 452 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,160 And then another point, This is why we tell you guys to not 453 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,880 trade Bitcoin. Time in the market beats timing 454 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,080 the market. Because if you're just looking 455 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,760 at charts, you know, you're looking at lines on your charts, 456 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,400 you may think you've you're late to Bitcoin, you may trade 457 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,360 yourself out of a position. But remember what I keep telling 458 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:11,680 you guys, we're playing Hungry Hippo with Bitcoin. 459 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,040 The name of the game is accumulate accumulate, 460 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,600 accumulate. Buy as much Bitcoin as you 461 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,080 possibly can hold it for as long as you can and you're gonna be 462 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,240 happy in the future and and you won't go back and look at videos 463 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,560 of yourself talking about Bitcoin and and like beat 464 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,200 yourself up about it. I mean we have the the famous 465 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,760 sailor tweet where he was calling Bitcoin dead and now 466 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,520 he's like the biggest bull in the game. 467 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,880 So like I think it's another meme we always talk about here 468 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,440 in in Bitcoin land is that there are no critics to Bitcoin. 469 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,880 Because once you actually start to test your assumptions against 470 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,640 Bitcoin and you deep dive Bitcoin, all your criticism kind 471 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,360 of flows away. Because you, the more you try to 472 00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:56,560 criticize Bitcoin with an actual open mind and and in good faith 473 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,280 you start to realize, wait, this Bitcoin thing might be something 474 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,760 huge like. And then This is why all of us 475 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,000 bitcoiners always say they're not big, bringing us their best 476 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,440 critics. Because the best critics of 477 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,040 bitcoiners always end up being bitcoiners. 478 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,120 And you can just tell who is. You know for lack of better 479 00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:17,320 terms, the NPCS out there that are just regurgitating the same 480 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,640 headlines they've heard from other people and those that 481 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,160 actually try to understand what is going on in good faith 482 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,240 because they always end up being bitcoiners. 483 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,360 So this is just part of the process. 100 percent, 100% will. 484 00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:32,080 What's your take on that video, my friend? 485 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,760 Yeah, really fast. I want to say stick around for 486 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,640 the culture segment. I'm going to give away two 487 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,880 signed copies of Bitcoin Girl, Save the World. 488 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,480 I forgot to say that earlier. My take on the video is it's so 489 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:50,520 early, let's go, let's do it. I mean, just like look at these 490 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,320 guys drawing lines on charts, $1000 crashing to $500. 491 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,000 We crashed $1000 while we were recording and nobody even say 492 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,320 anything. Nobody even noticed. 493 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,920 So I absolutely remember Bitcoin in 2013. 494 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,800 In 2014, when Mount Gox collapsed, I was like, oh, this 495 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,560 is a scam. This is going to zero. 496 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,960 I'm. I'm not going in. 497 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,480 But look, here we are. It takes education. 498 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,280 It takes shows like simply Bitcoin. 499 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,160 It takes people to learn. And how I know we're so early to 500 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,960 Bitcoin is all of us here on this podcast listening live. 501 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,800 We are the ones we weren't in the space earlier. 502 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,880 Some of us might not have been here in 2013, including me. 503 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,040 I know Nikko, you said you were class of 2016. 504 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,800 Every year we're only going higher and higher and look the 505 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,120 previous, I know what you're talking about in terms of the 506 00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:46,520 PTSD this bear market, we fell below the prior cycle all time 507 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,760 high 19,000, we fell into the 15 thousands. 508 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,800 But now look at us, we're breaking all time high before 509 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,720 the having something that has never happened in Bitcoin's 510 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,840 history.

MicroStrategy currently holds 587 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:04,200 still 214,000 Bitcoin, grayscale, continuing to sell 588 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:09,760 off 335,000 the BlackRock ETF, 252,000 Bitcoin. 589 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,760 The Fidelity 143,000 seems like it's going sideways. 590 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,400 None of them have really increased that much all that 591 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,160 much. So interesting. 592 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,200 The ARK and VEST seems to be going up 44,000 Bitcoin bitwise, 593 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,520 31,000 Bitcoin. So very interesting. 594 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,640 Very interesting. Clearly there's been, there's 595 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,520 been some winners in the ETF front and I really do believe 596 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,400 it's Arc, Fidelity and BlackRock out of all. 597 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,280 I think it was like 11 ETFs that applied. 598 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,320 But it seems like these guys are the winners. 599 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,680 And it seems like that grayscale people just continue to dump the 600 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,400 the the grayscale ETF. Maybe it's because of the 601 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,560 pricing, maybe they had a bad experience with GBTC, Heard a 602 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,720 lot of people had bad experiences with GBTC. 603 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,120 Anyways, I do want to play this clip. 604 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,120 This is what we're all here for. Here's Pierre Richard on on 605 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,880 Marty Bench show TFTC. Huge fan by the way. 606 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:07,360 And he had some something interesting to say in terms of 607 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,960 Bitcoin and this cycle and where he thinks it could reach. 608 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,080 And we'll make the case for it. We'll make the case for it 609 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,520 right. This isn't just, you know, 610 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,960 complete bull porn. We'll make the case for it is 611 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,960 Monday. We want to start off strong, but 612 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,560 we'll make the case why this is. And again guys, we at Simply 613 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,760 Bitcoin we don't make price predictions ever. 614 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:33,640 But, but when notable, reputable figures like Samson Mao, Adam 615 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,120 Back, Pierre, Richard, Max Kaiser, Kathy Wood, when they 616 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:43,240 bring up, you know, these these, these, these, these these price 617 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,080 speculations, we like to cover it and we like to try to make 618 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,160 sense of it. Sometimes they don't make sense 619 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,280 whatsoever, but we at least like to have the conversation and 620 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,920 remember the video that we played for you guys during the 621 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,320 number segment? That guy was literally making 622 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,360 fun of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was at $200.00 at that 623 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,080 point. If I told you back then that 624 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,080 Bitcoin was eventually going to hit $70,000 ten years later, you 625 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,159 would have laughed me out of the effing room. 626 00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:12,440 You would have laughed me out of the room. 627 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,480 So just keep that in mind. Keep that in the back of your 628 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,199 mind. Anyways, let's check it out. 629 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:22,920 And I think that the ETFs opened that up and we're starting to 630 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,440 see the banks say, hey, in the past we have not been able to 631 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,360 touch Bitcoin due to, you know, the Fiat maxi overlords. 632 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:37,159 But because BlackRock and everyone else can get their 633 00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:41,040 hands on Bitcoin, we're at a disadvantage competitively and 634 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,679 it's not fair. We need to level the playing 635 00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:45,920 field and allow everybody to, you know, be able to use 636 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,520 Bitcoin. And so I think that we're 637 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,320 starting to see a move in that direction. 638 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,880 And so now I think that we've got a lot more clarity on the 639 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,920 path to hyper bitcoinization completion, right, because 640 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,800 obviously we've been in hyper bitcoinization for 15 years now, 641 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,000 right. You don't go from a $0.00 to $1 642 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,200 trillion market cap and not call that hyper Bitcoin organization. 643 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,720 Bitcoin's the 5th largest base money in the world. 644 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,040 Yeah, in an astonishingly short period of time. 645 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,720 You know, given that human civilization has only been 646 00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:25,280 around for 1000 years or whatever. 647 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:31,080 So yes, the answer is yes. And now? 648 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,880 We got to we. Got to caution people, there are 649 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,640 going to be big drawdowns, right? 650 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,320 So it's not going to be a straight line up and to the 651 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,040 right, it's going to crash obviously. 652 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:47,080 So don't go crazy with leverage, don't use leverage, don't use 653 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,720 the ETFs. Also things might get hairy. 654 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,760 So you know, learn how to use a cold card, learn how to use 655 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,760 multi sink and get get not your keys, not your Bitcoin, you 656 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:04,280 know, get it off the exchanges because we're going to go in for 657 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,520 a wild ride here. How wild? 658 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,400 $1,000,000, you know, is kind of my expectation for for this 659 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,720 cycle. Really. 660 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,320 Absolutely. And like and arguably that's 661 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:20,800 just like naively conservative because of massive tailwinds. 662 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,800 I think the biggest headwind, honestly, is the paper hands, 663 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,000 the people who are like the lettuce hands who. 664 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,720 The Dave Portnoy's in the world. So I mean, again, it's not 665 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:35,120 coming from simply bitcoins, it's coming from Pierre Richard. 666 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,280 Pierre Richard is the VP of Research at a publicly traded 667 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,440 mining company, Riot Platforms. It's on the NASDAQ by the ticker 668 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,800 symbol Riot. So I mean, like, yeah, like, 669 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,560 obviously his incentives are for him to say stuff like that. 670 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,800 Just like it's Samson Maus incentives to say $1,000,000 671 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,080 Bitcoin, just like simply Bitcoins incentives to be 672 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,600 perfectly transparent, it's to say $1,000,000 Bitcoin. 673 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,920 But at the same time, remember the video that I played you guys 674 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,960 in the beginning of the show? Look, Bitcoin is an aligned 675 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,040 incentive structure model, right? 676 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,280 So miners, they're not mining out of the goodness of their 677 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,600 heart, They're mining out of the pursuit of profit. 678 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,800 Node operators are not roading. They're not running their own 679 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,920 nodes out of the goodness of their heart. 680 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,680 They're running nodes because they don't want to trust someone 681 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,880 else's copy of the Bitcoin blockchain or they want to run 682 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,040 their own version of their Bitcoin software. 683 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,480 By the way, if you're thinking about running your own Bitcoin 684 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,800 node, which you truly should, you got to take self custody. 685 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,200 You got to get yourself a Bitcoin node. 686 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,280 I recommend the Start nine. That's the one I personally use, 687 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,440 Start 9 Pure. It is absolutely badass. 688 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,360 There's a promo in the link in the video description if you 689 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,800 guys are interested. But yeah, I mean $1 million 690 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,400 Bitcoin, $1 million Bitcoin this cycle. 691 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,520 I love the fact that he's like, it's conservative. 692 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,880 Exactly. Thanks, Opti. 693 00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:03,440 Is it possible? Absolutely. 694 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,000 I think anything's possible. I think you kind of have to 695 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,480 prepare yourself for any type of possibility. 696 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:15,480 Look, we're only AT70K, right? We're at .07 million right now, 697 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,520 per Bitcoin. The the having hasn't happened 698 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,880 yet. The bull hasn't happened yet. 699 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,320 I mean, are you trying to make the case to me that we're gonna 700 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,160 just hit 100K and then pack it up and then wait like another 701 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,080 cycle? Or like maybe maybe that's the 702 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,960 case, Maybe maybe that's the case, maybe I'm not. 703 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,400 But you know, I think when Pierre Richard speaks, it's a 704 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:45,400 good idea to listen anyways. So this many, many times Bitcoin 705 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,960 is likely to scale into a multi trillion dollar market. 706 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,200 And here's the Barrett, the barrier case, the bull, the base 707 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,320 case, the bull case, the bear case is 258,000. 708 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,040 The base case is 682,000. The bull case is 1.5 million. 709 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,480 Now Kathy Wood released this in 2023, right? 710 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:13,000 She's completely changed her outlook on this 100%. 711 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:18,720 She's actually fast forwarded it to 1.5 million by 2027. 712 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,920 And the reason for that I think is the same reason that Pierre 713 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,640 Richard is bringing it up. It's because of the spot Bitcoin 714 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,440 ETFs, the spot Bitcoin ETFs and the amount of institutional 715 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,680 inflows. Not to mention the vindication 716 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:41,240 and the validation of the Bitcoin public Company Strategy 717 00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:45,200 by Micro by Michael Saylor Michael Saylor. 718 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,800 Have you guys seen his stock Opti? 719 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,800 Could you pull up the micro strategy like? 720 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,560 Yeah, it's nuts. It's. 721 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,600 Absolutely absurd. I have to show this to you guys. 722 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:01,800 Like, guys like this is insane. You don't see this on Wall 723 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,000 Street, OK? You see this hockey stick, You 724 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:10,320 see this, like, look, his stock was going sideways for like 10 725 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,160 years, OK? This is when he started the 726 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,520 Bitcoin strategy, right? When it peaked at 800, went back 727 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:21,840 down to like $200.00 and this thing went to it's at 1782 728 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,160 dollars. All he did. 729 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,080 Look, right now, five on a five year scale, it's up 1000. 730 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,440 It's 10X on a five year scale. OK, why is this happening? 731 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:39,320 OK, all he did, he didn't change his business strategy into 732 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:44,000 whatever. He leveraged his company to buy 733 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,600 Bitcoin and hold Bitcoin on their balance sheet. 734 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,640 And I'm not saying that every company could follow has to 735 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,880 follow Micro Michael Saylor's footsteps. 736 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,080 But if you're a company like Apple or Google, right, and you 737 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,360 are holding massive reserves of cash that are like melting ice 738 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:11,480 cubes, if you just put 1 to 2% or 3% or 4% or 5% into that, 739 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:18,200 into Bitcoin, it could, it could compensate for the amount of 740 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,720 purchasing power you're losing by holding cash. 741 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:28,960 And as Micro Saylor has proven, it could also potentially help 742 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,400 your stock price if you're holding a good amount of 743 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,680 Bitcoin. This is what Michael Saylor is 744 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,320 proving. No, no, no, no. 745 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,240 This is not what he this is not what he's proving. 746 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:43,800 He proved this already, right. OK, So that's the public company 747 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,360 aspect of it. Now on the nation state level, 748 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:51,280 it gets very fucking exciting. You have Naim Boukale, who's 749 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:56,200 been buying one Bitcoin a day since this thing was at 26,000 750 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:01,400 and he's in the profit too. Do you remember how much S the 751 00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:06,720 legacy media was giving him? The IMF was like, this is going 752 00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:11,360 to be a disaster. They had to eat their effing 753 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,760 words. In fact, it kind of reminds, it 754 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:18,160 reminds me of this guy right here talking. 755 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,120 So surely that's how that's the IMF gave me those vibes when 756 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,320 they're like saying they were talking S about El Salvador 757 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,600 adopting a Bitcoin standard, right? 758 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:32,880 So look, markets do what markets do best. 759 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,360 And at the end of the day, if this micro strategy stock keeps 760 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,040 performing the way it's performing, other public 761 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:48,080 companies are going to get pressured by their investors to 762 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,440 say, hey, what are you guys doing, how you guys being out 763 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,720 competed by a company that's literally just holding Bitcoin. 764 00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,760 That's where the pressure is going to come in. 765 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,080 And I think it's going to happen a lot faster than people 766 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,560 realize. All it takes is NVIDIA, 767 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:12,920 Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, All it takes is 1 press 768 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,040 release saying Chevron. Chevron. 769 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,280 Exactly. All it takes is one of those 770 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,800 companies to announce, hey, we're holding Bitcoin and you're 771 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,560 going to see a tidal wave of Bitcoin Bitcoin purchase. 772 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:30,960 And now here's the thing. Unlike gold, it doesn't matter 773 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,440 how much the price of Bitcoin goes up, the production not only 774 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,640 stays the same, it gets cut in half every four years. 775 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,720 And that is where the supply shock is coming in. 776 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:49,920 So when you hear Pierre, Richard and Kathy Wood bring out these 777 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,840 predictions, that's where it's coming from. 778 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:59,160 That's what they're seeing when you have the CEO and chairman of 779 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,560 the largest asset manager in the world, BlackRock, who holds 780 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,680 trillions of dollars, assets under management, say stuff like 781 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:12,280 this. Look, I'm I'm very bullish on 782 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,520 the long term viability of Bitcoin. 783 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,680 As I say, did that surprise? Me, did that surprise me how 784 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,760 much that's gone up, I mean look at it's it's it is we're we're 785 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,960 creating now a market that has more liquidity more transparency 786 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,880 and I'm, I'm pleasantly surprised and it would never 787 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,520 have predicted it before we filed it that we were going to 788 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,960 see this type of retail. So you thought you'd do good, 789 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,760 but not this good. I thought, well. 790 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,920 Ibid Ibid. Is your ETF over at iShares? 791 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,920 It's about to overtake Grayscale, which was in the 792 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,640 business certainly a lot longer. You look at the gains since 793 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,880 January 11th when it first came about. 794 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,760 Have you ever? Seen this much inflow this 795 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,480 quickly into. Ibid is the fastest growing ETF 796 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,680 in the history of ETFs. Did you hear that? 797 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,880 Did you hear that? A Bitcoin ETF is the fastest 798 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,280 growing ETF in the histories? A history of ETFs. 799 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,440 Now pair this guy's connected dots. 800 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,760 This is simply Bitcoin. Connect this with the micro 801 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,040 strategy stock. Literally. 802 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,160 Look at this. Look at that. 803 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:30,560 That's not normal, right? Wait, Wall Street still has not 804 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,840 completely waken up to this. That's what you guys have to 805 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,440 understand. So we're when when they throw 806 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:41,600 out these predictions, Pierre, Richard, Kathy Wood, this is 807 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:46,760 where it's coming from here is Kathy Wood saying $1.5 million 808 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,680 Bitcoin by 2027? Let's check out what she has to 809 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,520 say. We have all kinds of metrics, 810 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:59,640 but when I was at Abundance the the forecast was our poll case 811 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,960 was $1.5 million in five years, so that would have been 2027. 812 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,160 We still have time and and we still think that's going to be 813 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,200 right. If you just look at the 814 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:13,360 institutional push into Bitcoin, this new asset class, they have 815 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,600 to consider it as fiduciaries. When you use that those code 816 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,960 words new asset class what it means the correlation of these 817 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,320 returns are very low compared to those of other assets. 818 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,280 Especially as as bonds and stocks are becoming more 819 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:28,720 correlated, you need something uncorrelated, yes. 820 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,240 Absolutely, absolutely. And so they have to consider it. 821 00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:36,120 Now, what are we saying? There are 19.6 million Bitcoin 822 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,080 out there right now and the highest it will ever go is 21 823 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,240 million. Well, OK, there's real scarcity 824 00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:44,440 value and what what is going to happen? 825 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:49,320 The price increase for every institutional dollar pushing in 826 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:54,320 now is going to be much higher than it was last year, two years 827 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,360 ago. It's, you know, we're going to 828 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,920 get into if these institutions really want to own it. 829 00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,120 What I found fascinating recently, just learned it this 830 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,720 morning is typically when you go through a a price move, a 831 00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:09,720 Bitcoin price move to the upside, you usually see long 832 00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:11,840 term holders, which is a metric we monitor. 833 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:16,040 It's on on chain analytic analytics metric and it means 834 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,640 people who have not moved or wallets that have not moved 835 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,440 their Bitcoin in 155 days or more. 836 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,280 Yes. Well, normally when you go 837 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,640 through a price move to the upside, a very nice one like 838 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,240 we've seen in the last year, that tends to start moving down 839 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,720 and it did that true to form, but it has reversed in recent 840 00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:41,560 days because what we learned is GBTC sold some of its Bitcoin. 841 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,080 So that was those wallets hadn't been changed in a long time. 842 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,120 Right Now that is done at least for the time being. 843 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:53,040 Now that is done and it's going back up again as the price goes 844 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,000 up. That's highly unusual and I 845 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,120 think it is because the long term holder saying why would I 846 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:03,600 sell now when I know all these institutions which own nothing, 847 00:48:03,720 --> 00:48:07,160 own nothing in this realm, in this new asset class, they have 848 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,960 to consider it because it is a new asset class. 849 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:13,160 I have friends of mine who. All right. 850 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:18,360 So all that being said, right, all that being said, now you 851 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,920 have Kathy Wood, extremely intelligent, very successful. 852 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,200 You have Pierre, Richard, extremely intelligent, very 853 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,360 successful, right. But what happened last market? 854 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,160 I'm going to tie it up with this. 855 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,800 And this is something that again, I do not hear enough 856 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:40,720 people talk about, but I believe that we were destined to hit 857 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,920 100K in 2021. But something happened. 858 00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:48,760 Bitcoin was attacked by a nation state. 859 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:53,080 In fact, not only was it just any old nation state, it was the 860 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,800 one of the most powerful tyrannical nation states on the 861 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,640 face of the planet. And of course, I'm talking about 862 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:05,760 China, which is controlled by a single party, the CCP, and they 863 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:13,400 banned Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin in the middle of the 864 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,880 last bull run. I don't think it was AI, don't 865 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,200 think it was a coincidence. I think it was on purpose. 866 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,920 I think they were trying to attack the price. 867 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,640 I don't hear a lot of people say that, but I'll make the case for 868 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:29,120 you guys today because again, this is just so obvious. 869 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:34,000 It's it's so incredibly obvious if you're taking a look at the 870 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:38,000 data. So the line up top for audio 871 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,960 listeners, I'm going to have to describe this to you, is the 872 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:45,120 price of Bitcoin at the time. The line on the bottom is the 873 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,720 Bitcoin hash rate. The Bitcoin hash rate is a 874 00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:50,520 representation of the amount of computational power that's 875 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:55,520 actively mining the mining Bitcoin, therefore securing the 876 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,640 Bitcoin network right and getting rewarded for it. 877 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:05,000 If you take a look at the price, take a look at what happens with 878 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,160 when the price starts to dump, the hash rate starts to dump 879 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,080 with it. In fact, the hash rate dumps and 880 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,720 the price goes down with it. Now why did that happen? 881 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,960 Well, that's because there was a concentration of the Bitcoin 882 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:26,080 hash rate in China at the time and all of those Chinese miners 883 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:31,800 had to sell their Bitcoin stack and their mining equipment to 884 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,280 relocate to more favorable jurisdictions. 885 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,600 And this happened in the middle of the last run up. 886 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,480 Now I think it had so much momentum that that's why we got 887 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:47,120 the double peak, but not that many people talk about that now. 888 00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:50,400 What's different this time? Take a look at the hash rate. 889 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,960 It's gone absolutely parabolic with the price. 890 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,200 And I don't think there's going to be a ban. 891 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,000 I mean, they're trying to like Elizabeth Warren is trying to 892 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,800 and Co, right? She's doing everything in her 893 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,600 power. But the vast majority of this 894 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,520 hash rate, or good portion of this hash rate is located in 895 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,080 Texas, and Texas is extremely friendly towards Bitcoin mining. 896 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,960 And the more that the price of Bitcoin goes up, the more 897 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,440 friendlier the state of Texas will be, right? 898 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,160 Bitcoin is not a friend of tyrannical governments, which is 899 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,600 why China had to get rid of it and to push forward their 900 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,720 central bank digital currency. So another thing that I wanted 901 00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:31,080 to mention as well is that the hash rate recovered in about 9 902 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,560 to 10 months. It distributed in the process 903 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,840 became more decentralized, right? 904 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:42,720 Without any type of central authority or any type of CEO or 905 00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:47,600 leader telling them to do so. That's absolutely incredible. 906 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,440 And look, it's just going parabolic. 907 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,200 And why did it do this? Bitcoins, Incentives. 908 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,440 So I think this was one of the key factors. 909 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,840 Last cycle, a lot of people were talking about FTX and the 910 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,760 rehypothecation. I think that played a part, but 911 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,840 I think that this was the primary 'cause. 912 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,280 Now I don't think that's gonna happen this cycle anyways, I 913 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,640 wanted to say that. So not only, you know are you 914 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:17,360 hearing 1.5 to $1 million Bitcoin predictions by very 915 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,080 reputable figures, but you're you're kind of hearing also the 916 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:25,080 thought process behind how we're getting to those numbers as 917 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,840 well, right? So very, very interesting. 918 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,240 I'm extremely bullish on this cycle. 919 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,240 What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments if 920 00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:36,320 you're watching the pre recorded or the recorded version of the 921 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,520 show. If you guys missed the live 922 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,560 show, drop in the comment. If you guys think those are 923 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,840 absolutely absurd numbers. If you're watching us live, 924 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,680 comment. And of course if you guys want 925 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,840 to help push the orange signal forward, smash that like button 926 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,600 If you're watching us on YouTube, on Rumble or on X 927 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:58,320 formerly known as Twitter. We're currently at 1400 live 928 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,720 viewers so appreciate all you guys for watching. 929 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,920 Anyways, Opti, I know you're more bull hearted than I am in 930 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,720 general, so bull. Heart is life. 931 00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:10,920 But I mean like bro, like I, I, I, I, I wanted to kind of break 932 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:12,680 it down. Like I wanted to make the case 933 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,040 as to why they're they're saying these things because you can 934 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,280 just throw numbers out there. But if you don't explain the 935 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,240 thought process behind it, you know, it kind of doesn't make 936 00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:24,880 sense. So you know, now that I broke it 937 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:28,200 down, we pulled the data. We showed the receipts. 938 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,200 What are your thoughts, man? Is 1,000,000 possible, dude 939 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,280 1,000,000 by 2027? Bro, That's what like 3 years 940 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,920 from now? That'd be absolutely effing 941 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,720 massive. Yeah. 942 00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:44,480 No, I mean, First off, the context here. 943 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,120 You know, speculating is fun. Obviously, we all bitcoiners 944 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,160 speculate on the price whether publicly or privately. 945 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,600 The problem is when you like throw all of your net worth in 946 00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,120 Bitcoin at a certain price expecting a higher price or you 947 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,760 leverage your house or mortgage your house or get a HELOC and 948 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,920 you make really risky decisions because you think the price of 949 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,760 bitcoins going up forever. So obviously guys, you know PSA 950 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,960 don't do that. Like that's why I think the stay 951 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,680 humble meme is so strong. It's stay humble in your 952 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,760 finances. You know work your job saving 953 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,160 Bitcoin, try to get provide as much value so that you can get a 954 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,160 good cash flow and then put all that in the Bitcoin. 955 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,400 With all that being said, I absolutely love this bull tarted 956 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,240 take. Pierre is the king of being bull 957 00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:32,960 tarted. I remember him last cycle he 958 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,040 was, he was definitely one of the dudes like Paul Revere. 959 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,680 Like we're going to 100K, like hyper bit colonization is here 960 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,080 and then we all got a little piece of humble pie. 961 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,240 So obviously he might be kind of doing something similar here, 962 00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:50,200 cuz 1,000,000 by 2027, as much as I believe it's a nonzero 963 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,840 chance and there's a very good probability of that happening, 964 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,400 it still seems like one of those far fetched numbers. 965 00:54:55,560 --> 00:55:00,280 But again, when I bought Bitcoin in 2017 at like 10K or it went 966 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,280 to three, Ki wouldn't be saying that we'd be at 70K in what, 967 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,200 three to four years like that. Those numbers seem like, oh, 968 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,160 maybe one day we'll get there. But again, I think what we're 969 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,320 seeing here is that Bitcoin's getting adopted at such an 970 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:17,640 incredible pace right now and now the floodgates are going to 971 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,680 get open up to Bitcoin. And so I think this is where 972 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,000 Pierre's taking it. Like all your models are broken. 973 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,120 Your your lines on your chart are imaginary lines and and 974 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:32,320 yeah, there might might be some psychological like point on the 975 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,440 on the Bitcoin price that people want to sell out. 976 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,160 But again what are you selling out to? 977 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:37,800 You're going to sell your Bitcoin for Fiat. 978 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,880 You're going to sell something that is hard capped, that is 979 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,400 digitally scarce for something that they can print for 980 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,240 Infinity. But I do tend to agree with 981 00:55:47,240 --> 00:55:51,840 Pierre Rochard because what 100K is only like a 50% move from 982 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,040 here. You know you guys can check my 983 00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,760 mass on this but it's not that far away. 984 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,400 It's only 30 K away from here. So if you think we're going to 985 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:04,080 stop this cycle at 100K or you know, I was doing and me and 986 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,800 Nico would have these kind of conversations and then almost 987 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,480 like low key arguments. But I'm like dude, like 300 K 988 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:13,480 seems like a conservative idea of where the Bitcoin price is 989 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,040 going to be. But again, that was before we 990 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,200 saw the level of demand that we're seeing from institutions. 991 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,520 And again, bringing back the little story I just told you in 992 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,680 the numbers, is that high net worth individuals, they don't 993 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,360 move as quickly here. So they're doing their research 994 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,800 and they move slow, but when they do make a move, they make a 995 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,880 huge splash. So it's only going to take a 996 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,760 couple very rich people with very high conviction in Bitcoin 997 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,360 to move the market and also rather some unsophisticated 998 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,560 buyers like if they're buying. I think I saw over the weekend 999 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,640 Nico and someone can Fact Check me, but someone just bought like 1000 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,720 a billion dollars just on the open market over the weekend. 1001 00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:55,080 Just like not even caring. Just like stacking Bitcoin. 1002 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:56,840 You know if you're a high net worth individual, you're 1003 00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:01,240 probably going to like over the counter Bitcoin sellers. 1004 00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:05,840 But there it's only going to take one conviction, 1 high 1005 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,880 level conviction from a very wealthy person to really kick 1006 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,240 the can down the road and make this start to move. 1007 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,280 And so you know the ETFs are what, three months old? 1008 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:20,440 Obviously we don't advise you to buy the ETF, we want you guys to 1009 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,680 buy Bitcoin directly. But there was one point in there 1010 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,160 that Marty mentioned and it was just in passing. 1011 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:30,760 But Bitcoin today is the 5th largest base money in the world. 1012 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,120 I don't think you guys understand what is that, what 1013 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,400 what that really means right now. 1014 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,840 Like Bitcoin. Yes, all of us bitcoiners are 1015 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,000 super excited about Bitcoin. It's all we can talk about. 1016 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,640 But again, if you talk to normally people with normal 1017 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:45,000 people in everyday life, they still think Bitcoin is some fad 1018 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:49,360 and yet it's the 5th largest base money in the world. 1019 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,160 Like it's one of the biggest monies in the world. 1020 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,200 And right now no one's even talking about Bitcoin. 1021 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,040 So just wait till that FOMO starts to catch on again. 1022 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,640 I remember I got into 2017 and it seemed like it was a FOMO 1023 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,240 craze. You get caught up in the FOMO 1024 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:03,320 craze. It does seem like hyper 1025 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:07,840 bitcoinization is coming or it's here rather, but I do think that 1026 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,600 we really underestimate the tsunami of demand that is on the 1027 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,640 horizon for the next year or two. 1028 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,720 So I'm not saying that a million is absolutely bullet hearted. 1029 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,720 I think it could be a possibility. 1030 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,360 But it does seem like one of those far fetched numbers. 1031 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,160 But again, when you put all these dots together, the fact 1032 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,400 that they won't be able to ban Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining again, 1033 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,000 the fact that we're seeing institutional demand by the 1034 00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,280 what, hundreds of billions? The fact that we haven't even 1035 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:38,360 got retail to FOMO into Bitcoin, The fact that Bitcoin is only at 1036 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:42,600 what maybe like 1% adoption rate and I would say less on the 1037 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,400 amount of people that really understand what Bitcoin is. 1038 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,120 I'm not a bear. I'm actually more bullish than 1039 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,080 Nico is. But Bitcoin is being adopted at 1040 00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,800 at a spectacular rate. It's I think at this point we 1041 00:58:55,800 --> 00:59:00,160 can safely say it's the fastest adopted technology ever, faster 1042 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,880 than the Internet. Like the Internet was made just 1043 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,800 for Bitcoin and it's getting getting adopted at an incredible 1044 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,360 pace right now. But like I said, the paper hands 1045 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,960 out there that are looking at psychological price points to 1046 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,400 sell Bitcoin. There will be some pull backs. 1047 00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,240 It's not going to be just, you know, God candles after God 1048 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,160 candles. But This is why we tell you guys 1049 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,680 all the time that the real game is holding and accumulating 1050 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:27,000 Bitcoin for as long as possible and not looking for price 1051 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,760 targets. Just, you know, as my buddy 1052 00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,920 Wino, he says he's like, I buy it, I buy a I buy Bitcoin tops 1053 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,960 as historical time stamps. It doesn't matter at what price 1054 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,880 you buy Bitcoin, it's that you hold Bitcoin long term. 1055 00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,160 And again, going back to high net worth individuals, you think 1056 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:47,240 they really care about buying Bitcoin AT70K or 65K or 75K. 1057 00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,320 When they think this is going to $1,000,000, that's just a 1058 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,000 rounding error on their balance sheet and they're like, I don't 1059 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,360 care buy this, it's going up forever. 1060 00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,760 I need to store in something that doesn't lose value, and 1061 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,360 that's a totally different mind shift than people that are. 1062 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,880 Basically treating Bitcoin like a penny stock that are 1063 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,920 speculating on the price and they're just trying to turn 1064 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,480 their like $1000 into what? Like $1500? 1065 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,560 It's like it's a totally different game. 1066 01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,800 When you understand that Bitcoin is the best thing to store your 1067 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,440 value through time and space that has ever been created and 1068 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,960 you switch your mindset once you get on the Bitcoin operating 1069 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,080 system, you're like, I don't want dollars, what's the what? 1070 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:29,080 Like I don't want dollars, but hey, $1,000,000 by 2027, let's 1071 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,360 go.

And for me, my background is a 1167 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,120 computer science as a software engineer and I really needed to 1168 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,560 understand the code of Bitcoin for myself. 1169 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,400 So my very, my very first book, The Bitcoin Dog, following the 1170 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:04,000 scent to the Bitcoin C++ source code to actually read the the 1171 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,880 code of the having.

I have it on Kindle, paperback 1275 01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:02,520 and hardcover for Bitcoin Girl. Yeah, you can click big two of 1276 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,120 two. The Bitcoin Dog to get to the 1277 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:05,200 series. Yep. 1278 01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:10,160 And then there's the Bitcoin dog on the left for for the other 1279 01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,440 book. But yeah, those are the books if 1280 01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:16,280 you want a paperback and hardcover or Kindle version. 1281 01:12:16,440 --> 01:12:18,520 And then I have another link for you. 1282 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:24,200 Off the did this one. This is yeah, this is Bitcoin 1283 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,640 girl book.com. So I hate Fiat. 1284 01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,040 Fiat's the worst. I want to pay to read in 1285 01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:30,560 Bitcoin. So this is. 1286 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,800 I'm really excited about this. This is a lightning powered 1287 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,800 website through a lightning startup called Get Mash where 1288 01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,800 you can pay to read the book one chapter at a time. 1289 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:43,520 So it's only it's online only. But you could do checkout with 1290 01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,480 Lightning so you don't have to use a credit card or anything. 1291 01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,880 There's no e-mail address. There's no account name or 1292 01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,040 password or anything like that. So you could read silently. 1293 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,440 You only keep reading as long as you like the book. 1294 01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:57,680 So it pushes me to be a better author. 1295 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,120 I think it's a new paradigm and MASH has made it so you can do 1296 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,760 reactions on a different sections or things. 1297 01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:06,520 So I added Laser eyes reaction to the cover for a big three 1298 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,040 girls say the world. But so it's more and that's a 1299 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,400 premium reaction. So that one costs 2100 sets, but 1300 01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,680 you can do comment emojis or comment on gifts throughout 1301 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:18,720 throughout the chapter.

Why should I care about cleaning 1432 01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,360 up the beach? It all goes into the ocean 1433 01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,440 anyways, I reply. Well, that is a weird word. 1434 01:19:33,440 --> 01:19:38,680 Smartly, my laptop chimes again. Ask your mom if you can help 1435 01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:40,760 join our environmental protest today. 1436 01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,880 Environmental protest? Uh, those are so annoying. 1437 01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:48,160 They close down the main highway and make my Uber ride take twice 1438 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,920 as long to get to the mall. Still, I'd prefer to be seen 1439 01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:56,160 picking up trash at the beach wearing plastic gloves instead 1440 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,680 of tanning in my bikini quote. Sorry, Mom, I've got other 1441 01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:01,600 plans. I'm going to head to the 1442 01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,440 environmental protest down the street with my classmate Optimus 1443 01:20:05,440 --> 01:20:07,680 Fields. Oh, that's good to hear. 1444 01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:11,440 I'm just glad you'll be outside actually helping to make the 1445 01:20:11,440 --> 01:20:14,360 world better a better place instead of just putting lipstick 1446 01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:17,720 on and talking to yourself in front of your computer all day. 1447 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,200 Mom, you're so embarrassed. Embarrassing. 1448 01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:24,440 I slam my laptop shut and storm off, ready to meet Optimus 1449 01:20:24,440 --> 01:20:29,560 Fields at the protest. Oh, my God. 1450 01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,720 All right, all right, hold on. I got to clear something up. 1451 01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:38,200 Here would like to skies himself as environmentalist to get the 1452 01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:42,200 attention of an E girl. Wait, wait, I got to clarify 1453 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,560 things here because Will was telling me I was going to get 1454 01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:49,920 put on the spot. So I think I'm the E girl and I 1455 01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:53,880 am courting an environmentalist. That that's that's the inside 1456 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,920 joke here that I'm the E girl putting my lipstick on to 1457 01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:01,680 talking to the computer. Well, Opti is simply so everyone 1458 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,480 knows. That man. 1459 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:07,720 Man, this is good.
