- 0:00Michael Saylor just tapped the fixed income market to buy
- 0:03another billion dollars in Bitcoin.
- 0:06How much is enough, Michael? You.
- 0:10Can't keep getting. Away with this.
- 0:13Ken Saylor be stopped. It's literally every Monday.
- 0:18And that's not all Giga chat has been up to either.
- 0:20We have Bitcoin treasuries exploding globally and if Adam
- 0:25Back is right, and not to mention the Journal of the Board
- 0:27of Financial Management, the supply shock is getting real and
- 0:32the S curve is about to steepen. But are Bitcoin treasuries good
- 0:36for Bitcoin? Are we looking at a speculative
- 0:39attack on the dollar and centralization of Bitcoin?
- 0:43Is it a trap or just the inevitable?
- 0:45Welcome back. I'm Rustin and we've got a lot
- 0:47of news to get to send it. Hey, let's put this buy in
- 0:58perspective. Michael Saylor just bought 22
- 1:01days worth of newly mined Bitcoin.
- 1:04Why is this amount of aggressive buying happening right now, Not
- 1:08just by Sailor, but by the ETFs already surpassing Satoshi and
- 1:12holding 1.2 million BTC and the treasuries happening right now
- 1:17and in this moment? What do they know?
- 1:20Well, I think they know. This.
- 1:22So I think what we have is recognition that the interest
- 1:27expense for the United States is untenable if we continue running
- 1:33a $2.1 trillion budget deficit and we continue to have sticky
- 1:37interest rates. One thing that people fail to
- 1:40appreciate is how much the average Treasury payment has
- 1:44gone up. The average yield, the average
- 1:46coupon on on Treasuries was below 2%.
- 1:51The entire Treasury market, all 30 odd billion of it, you
- 1:54average it all together. Some of them are old, you know,
- 1:56they're issued with higher interest rates, but it was below
- 1:582%. Now it's pushing 4%.
- 2:02And as long as bonds are maturing and there's trillions
- 2:05and trillions of dollars of them maturing, a lot of them were
- 2:07issued back in, you know, 2000 and nine, 2008.
- 2:14These other time periods, even if you just issued them in 2019,
- 2:17some of these are starting to come due and they were issued
- 2:20with coupons of 1/4 of a percent and now it's 4 1/4%.
- 2:24So it's 400 basis points higher. So, so this problem continues to
- 2:29to build and there's an awareness now that the long term
- 2:35Treasury bond is not a legitimate flight to quality
- 2:37asset. It's not responding to lower
- 2:41interest rates. It's not expect, it's not really
- 2:43responding to an inflation rate which is now 2 1/2 percent
- 2:47probably going to go higher on the inflation rate because the
- 2:50ones that are rolling off from a year ago, I mean the, the
- 2:53cumulative I think headline CPI that came out today, it was a
- 2:57.18. But the one that was rolling off
- 3:00I think was was .1. And and if you do the the next
- 3:03two months, those three months together that quarter the the
- 3:06cumulative rise from a year ago was .1.
- 3:09So we're likely seeing the low point in near term inflation.
- 3:14So, yeah, I think there's the reckoning is is coming is that
- 3:18we have to somehow figure out how we're going to deal with $37
- 3:22trillion. I mean, we're actually going to
- 3:24hit the 37 trillion number for real.
- 3:26It's still 36.95 trillion, but it's going up quickly.
- 3:31So yeah, there's going to have to be some pretty creative
- 3:35thinking and the markets starting to to believe that.
- 3:39So the private previous group talked about the capital flows.
- 3:44And getting back to Peter Schiff, why all the vitriol
- 3:47towards sailor? Does he have a point or is he
- 3:50mad his shiny rock is about to get obliterate?
- 3:53And also that gold has failed all throughout history in its
- 3:57duty to limit the state and its atrocities.
- 4:00Check out this clip from Trace Mayer dunking on Peter Schiff.
- 4:04I've honed in on the scarcest asset on the planet that has
- 4:07liquidity with 110 stock to Peter did say that I had said
- 4:12that Bitcoin has intrinsic value.
- 4:15That's not what I said. I said it was limited by its
- 4:17intrinsic characteristics. Nothing has intrinsic value.
- 4:21We as humans subscribe value to things through subjective value
- 4:25theory. And so that's an important
- 4:27distinguishment. And then it gets to our next
- 4:29point about entrepreneurship. One of the one of the great
- 4:34things about entrepreneurship is that the entrepreneur is able to
- 4:37take time, labor, capital, combine it with their vision and
- 4:42produce a good for the market. And the entrepreneurs that are
- 4:46successful, they have profits and the entrepreneurs that have
- 4:50losses are those that are unsuccessful.
- 4:53And So what Satoshi did is he created a new monetary good as
- 4:57an entrepreneur and introduced it into the market.
- 5:01And people through their own subjective value theory have
- 5:03honed in on it and decided I want some of that.
- 5:06And now it's creating a shelling point and it's become the most
- 5:10liquid high stock to flow asset on the planet.
- 5:14And you know, we're only 16 years into this.
- 5:17I have some gold UTX OS, some gold coins that are 25.
- 5:20I've had them for 25 years. You know, there's some
- 5:23institutions that have had gold UTX OS for millennia.
- 5:26Where are we going to be in another 16 years and another 16
- 5:30years after that and then another 160 years after that?
- 5:34And Bitcoin is just going to continue to crank that stock to
- 5:37flow higher. It's going to get scarcer.
- 5:40And humanity is going to be putting their savings and their
- 5:44retained earnings into it because it treats that capital
- 5:47well, because it has this high stock to flow, a sock to flow,
- 5:50that's now twice gold, but it'll eventually be even higher.
- 5:53So it's a superior monetary good in many of those ways.
- 5:57The century of Total War was no mistake, and gold did nothing to
- 6:02prevent it. Gold already failed.
- 6:04Do you not understand this is Hayek, Hapa and Macy's revenge.
- 6:09There is no stopping it. Rolling that the century of
- 6:12Total War coincided with the century of central banking.
- 6:16No government has ever said because we want to go to war we
- 6:19must abandoned central banking. Or because we want to go to war,
- 6:22we must abandoned inflation in the Fiat money system.
- 6:25Governments always say we must abandoned the gold standard
- 6:28because we want to go to war. That alone indicates the
- 6:30restraint that hard money places on governments.
- 6:33Precious metals cannot be created out of thin air, which
- 6:36is why governments chafe at monetary systems based on them.
- 6:39Now, while it's true that a gold standard restrains government,
- 6:42it's also true that governments have had little difficulty
- 6:44finding pretexts, war chief among them, to abandon the gold
- 6:48standard. For that reason, the gold
- 6:49standard in and of itself is not a sufficient restraint on the
- 6:52government's ambitions at home and abroad.
- 6:54But what we need today is the separation of money in state.
- 6:58The war machine and the money machine, in short, are
- 7:00intimately linked. It is vain to denounce the moral
- 7:03grotesqueries of the US Empire without at the same time taking
- 7:07aim at the indispensable support that makes it all possible.
- 7:10If we wish to oppose the state and all its manifestations, it's
- 7:13imperial adventures, it's domestic subsidies, it's
- 7:16unsolvable spending and debt accumulation, you must point to
- 7:19their source, the central the. Strategy's success is
- 7:22undeniable. So is the debt doom loop,
- 7:25inflation and the desire to find the best store value to escape
- 7:29all of it. And it's happening on a global
- 7:31level. Hence why Pakistan's finance
- 7:34minister spoke with Saylor, who may be helping advise them on
- 7:38their Bitcoin strategy in. Time today I'll stay in touch
- 7:41with Bilal. I would offer you just one final
- 7:44thought, which is it's a global economy.
- 7:48Pakistan has many brilliant people and a lot of people do
- 7:51business with you. My company had less than $400
- 7:54million to invest, but the markets gave me $40 billion
- 7:59because they trust us. And so the most important thing
- 8:02is leadership, intellectual leadership, and that they trust
- 8:05you. If the world trusts you and they
- 8:08hear your words and you speak articularly, the capital and the
- 8:13capability will flow to Pakistan.
- 8:17It's there. It wants to find a home.
- 8:20And and that's what happened with our company.
- 8:22Our success is because we were clear and committed.
- 8:27And once the market decides who the leader is, they get behind
- 8:31the leader and they send their money to you.
- 8:34And, and I think they'll do it to Pakistan too.
- 8:36You have the most important thing, which is, which is you
- 8:41have a commitment and a will and clarity here.
- 8:44So I look forward to working with you.
- 8:47Now the big question are Bitcoin treasuries good for Bitcoin and
- 8:51should you buy them? We're about to bring it home
- 8:53today, but before we do, look at our likes. 3-4 times maybe?
- 8:57I'll pump those numbers up. Those are rookie.
- 8:58Numbers in this. Racket.

- 9:57I went into a fugue state for four months.
- 10:00I dropped everything. Is that like a cocoon?
- 10:04I it's, it's almost a dissociative state.
- 10:08I would get up in the morning and read everything I could find
- 10:12about Bitcoin. Run code program, digest code,
- 10:16read more papers, read conversations, try to understand
- 10:21it deeper. Look at my watch and it's
- 10:24midnight, I haven't eaten anything.
- 10:26Go to bed, wake up at 8:00 in the morning, start again. 18
- 10:30hours a day for four months. Just unable to do anything else.
- 10:37Is that an obsession? Complete obsession.
- 10:39OK. To a point where this is not
- 10:42healthy, right? I lost 26 lbs in four months.
- 10:47Not because I was dieting, but because to eat I had to stop
- 10:51reading. And at that point, were you an
- 10:56expert in it? I'm not an expert today.
- 10:59OK. It's OK.
- 11:01What did you learn in that four months?
- 11:04And the reason I say that is because it's, it's a never
- 11:07ending journey of discovery. You scratch the surface, you
- 11:10find a layer, you dig, you find another layer, you go deeper,
- 11:14you find another layer. It opens up new opportunities,
- 11:17new possibilities. You start experimenting with
- 11:20those, you open up another layer.
- 11:21And while I'm doing that, Bitcoin itself is evolving.
- 11:26Bitcoin today is not Bitcoin of 2009.
- 11:28It's growing, it's evolving, it's developing new capabilities
- 11:31and features, and so I'm absorbing as much information as
- 11:36possible, but the information itself is growing at the same
- 11:38time. So while I do know a lot about
- 11:42Bitcoin, I will never know everything about Bitcoin.
- 11:45I know that feeling. I experienced it myself and I'm
- 11:48sure many of you did as well. My question for you is, did you
- 11:52do the work? Did you put in thousands of
- 11:54hours of research to buy a Fiat derivative of Bitcoin?
- 11:59That's what a stock is. Well, a a Bitcoin treasury
- 12:02company. You're giving a company or
- 12:04entity your money to buy Bitcoin for themselves so that you get
- 12:08what? At the end of the day, Peter
- 12:10Thiel points more paper, more Fiat.
- 12:14What are you here for? To separate money from state or
- 12:17to buy someone else's stock or shit coin so they can buy
- 12:20Bitcoin and make you the yield so that you what in the future
- 12:25have more slave money, Stable coins?
- 12:27Stop facing yield, or you become the yield.
- 12:30Bitcoin Treasuries are for some, but it isn't Bitcoin.
- 12:34It's a Fiat derivative that uses you and the idiotic system to
- 12:38pump its bags. And that's good for them.
- 12:40They're public companies. Plebs don't win by holding Fiat
- 12:44derivatives. They win by taking part in the
- 12:47revolution. And that's how we end all of
- 12:50this. Bullshit.
- 12:52Did Iran attack the United States of America?
- 12:54Is Iran the reason that no one can afford a house?
- 12:56Is Iran the reason that there's fentanyl everywhere?
- 12:59Is Iran the reason that we've got political corruption?
- 13:02Is Iran the reason that we have 12 people that own everything in
- 13:05this country? Is Iran the reason that we have
- 13:07the epidemic of poison food? That's people and children.
- 13:11And when your insurance won't cover a knee operation and you
- 13:14have to go bankrupt to replace your hip, is your main concern
- 13:19that Iran? This is the craziest I've ever
- 13:24heard in my life. We've been using Iran.
- 13:27Iran has been like that. We've been using Iran in this
- 13:29country forever. Everything is wrong.
- 13:31It's very simple sound money and freedom bring peace and
- 13:35prosperity. Fiat destroys and corrupts.
- 13:38Even in the Bible, it says unjust weights and measures are
- 13:41an abomination in the eyes of the Lord, Rejected in that
- 13:45entire system. There's something better.
- 13:47And this time traveler has already revealed the future runs
- 13:50on a Bitcoin standard anyway. Check it.
- 13:52Out today, we're going back in time to ask the people of the
- 13:55past one simple question. What?
- 13:58Is money. Excuse me, what do you use for
- 14:03money around here? Turns out.

- 14:16How do you buy things? Shiny rock me, trade me happy.
- 14:22What do people here use for money?
- 14:24Cowrie shells. Shiny, rare and perfect for
- 14:27trade. If you've got a handful, you're
- 14:29basically royalty. Council's real money here,
- 14:31Denario. Solid silver.
- 14:33You use it to buy bread, wine or mercy.
- 14:36Especially mercy. This is our money.
- 14:40A rice stone. It doesn't move, but everyone
- 14:43remembers who it belongs to. Money today is great when we.
- 14:47Run out. We just print.
- 14:49More. Is Bitcoin real money?
- 14:56If you don't believe me or don't.
- 14:58Get it? I don't have time to convince
- 15:00you, sorry. What's money in the year 2141?
- 15:04Satoshi Fiat is gone. Bitcoin is forever.
- 15:09From shiny rocks to worthless Fiat and now Bitcoin, Math wins.
