Latest / Simply Bitcoin / Michael Saylor: Bitcoin to $5 Million is Inevitable | EP 824
Transcript
- 0:05It's. All going to zero against
- 0:07Bitcoin. It's going up forever.
- 0:18You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
- 0:25Yeah. Welcome to some of the Bitcoin
- 0:27Live. We're number one source for the
- 0:28peaceful Bitcoin revolution. Cover breaking news called
- 0:30Dramatic Warfare. We'll be our guide through the
- 0:31separation of money in state. Today is September 14th, 2023.
- 0:37Another day in Bitcoin. Another day on the Bitcoin
- 0:40roller coaster. They don't call the Bitcoin
- 0:42roller coaster for no reason. There's ups and downs.
- 0:44We hit 25 K we're back to 26,697.
- 0:47But if you zoom out. If you zoom out, in the grand
- 0:51scheme of things, if you believe in the meme, 21,000,000 divided
- 0:56by Infinity or Infinity divided by 21 million, I think it is.
- 1:01We all know where early but there's something I want to talk
- 1:03about today specifically there was a very famous spaces that
- 1:09Michael Saylor did and I think he did it with some some legacy
- 1:12media people was a huge spaces and there was three things that
- 1:17he said needed to happen in order for Bitcoin to 10X and
- 1:21then during that spaces he even said if these thing if these
- 1:25three things happen Bitcoin will inevitably hit $5 million per
- 1:31coin. Now what were those three
- 1:33things? First thing was the changing of
- 1:37the Fazbe rules, right, with the accounting, the fair value
- 1:40accounting rules and that happened not too long ago.
- 1:43We broke the news. I wasn't there.
- 1:46I had some swan duties that day, but Opti and I think it was Russ
- 1:49and we're holding it down. So we covered that.
- 1:52And then number two was large banks, right?
- 1:56I'm not talking about like small banks or you know these, these
- 1:58Bitcoin crypto focus banks. I'm talking about large banks
- 2:02offering institutional custody of of Bitcoin of digital assets
- 2:09for their clients. Check that off that's happening.
- 2:12You have banks all around the world whether it's Banco
- 2:15Santander. The news that came out today,
- 2:17which is I wanted to cover this is Deutsche Bank is applying for
- 2:21a license to custody digital assets for their customers And
- 2:27then and the third thing which has been like the big news of
- 2:30this year is the BlackRock spot. Bitcoin ETFI would even, I
- 2:36wouldn't even call it the BlackRock, just a Bitcoin spot
- 2:39ETF. Those are the three things that
- 2:41Michael Saylor said needed to happen in order for Bitcoin to
- 2:46just go parabolic into this 5 million, you know, etcetera,
- 2:51etcetera. And those things are basically
- 2:54already happening like the FASBE check that off, right.
- 2:57That was a huge that was a massive deal.
- 2:59So check that off the list. That doesn't start, that doesn't
- 3:03start going into action until the year 2025 then you have.
- 3:09So that's the FASBE ruling then you have banks, large banks,
- 3:12custodying Bitcoin. Check that off the list as well.
- 3:16Really the only thing out of those three things is the
- 3:19BlackRock spot ETF, or sorry, the spot.
- 3:21I keep saying BlackRock. Maybe it's a Freudian slip, The
- 3:24spot Bitcoin ETF. How long will Gary Genzer be
- 3:29able to delay this? He got absolutely hammered in in
- 3:33Congress. There was a hearing this week.
- 3:36So yeah, I mean, this is pretty crazy.
- 3:40And it's really interesting if you've been here for a while,
- 3:42you know, Opti and I are class of, I'm class of 2016, Opti is
- 3:45class of 2017. But it's the same epoch really.
- 3:49You know, one of the narratives that existed when Bitcoin was
- 3:53falling, you know, it fell from 20K back down to 3K.
- 3:57And one of the coping narratives all the way down was the
- 4:00institutions are coming, the institutions are coming, the
- 4:01institutions are coming. I think you could say without a
- 4:04doubt that the institutions are here.
- 4:08You can't deny that. Now The thing is, do the
- 4:12institutions have the necessary infrastructure to on board onto
- 4:16Bitcoin And I think that's an open question.
- 4:19But you can't deny that the institutions want exposure to
- 4:23Bitcoin. That's undeniable, right?
- 4:25We broke the news the other day that BlackRock had a lot of
- 4:28micro strategy, had a lot of exposure to public to publicly
- 4:32traded Bitcoin mining companies as well, right.
- 4:35So it's some very interesting stuff.
- 4:37Now here's the thing though, right?
- 4:39So yes, his number go up. Whoopty Doo.
- 4:42But remember the revolution is individuals taking back
- 4:46financial sovereignty by taking Bitcoin into self custody.
- 4:50So just because you're buying a Bitcoin spot ETF or black Rocks
- 4:55Bitcoin spot ETF through Charles Schwab or Robin Hood or whatnot,
- 5:00that that isn't real Bitcoin. That's paper Bitcoin.
- 5:03That's an IOU. The only way that you get true
- 5:06real Bitcoin is by, you know, buying Bitcoin, earning Bitcoin,
- 5:10mining Bitcoin, and taking that said Bitcoin into cold storage,
- 5:14right? And then preferably, the step
- 5:17after that is stop trusting someone else's copy of the
- 5:21blockchain. Run your own Bitcoin.
- 5:23Softer, Run your own node. The one I recommend personally
- 5:26because it's the one I use, is Start 9.
- 5:29They're freaking awesome so definitely check them out if
- 5:32you're interested in in running a Bitcoin node.
- 5:34But yeah, it's a very interesting times that we're
- 5:38living in but you know I don't think I've ever been so bullish.
- 5:41How you doing Opti? And we're in the the simply
- 5:44Bitcoin merch today bro you're you're modeling.
- 5:46I love it. Yeah, yeah, it's it's raining
- 5:48right now. It's it's officially hoodie
- 5:50season. So you're raining, but you're
- 5:52inside. Yeah, whatever.
- 5:53I feel like wearing a hoodie today.
- 5:54If it's nice, it's comfy. I'm wearing this all the time.
- 5:58Get yourself one at simplybitcoin.com.
- 6:01Yeah, man, it's hey. Let let your boy live for once.
- 6:07Yeah, Crazy. You're not in uniform, bro.
- 6:09You. You went from collared shirts to
- 6:12hoodies. What happened?
- 6:13You're regressing. Well, suits coming soon.
- 6:17I had a conversation with Chris yesterday.
- 6:19Are we are we wearing suits? I I need to get.
- 6:23I missed that episode, man. I love Chris.
- 6:25Shout out Bitcoin. Shout out our boys over a
- 6:27Bitcoin mag. But yeah, crazy, crazy
- 6:31developments. And and we really talked about
- 6:33it yesterday as well, pretty pretty extensively on the show
- 6:36of how it is undeniable that the institutions want your Bitcoin.
- 6:40There is so much institutional investment and there's just so
- 6:43much capital waiting on the sidelines for everyone for to to
- 6:48get assured into Bitcoin. You know, like.
- 6:51All the biggest asset managers, well, not all of them, but many
- 6:54of the big asset managers of the world are looking to get
- 6:58exposure to Bitcoin. We're seeing huge banks do the
- 7:02same thing. And it just goes to show you
- 7:04that you guys are early and we are on the precipice of an
- 7:08amazing bull run as far as I'm concerned and now is the time to
- 7:12be stacking sats. It's still what, 26 K so like.
- 7:16We got the best opportunity ever and I know everyone is losing
- 7:19their mind because this bear market's been so long but this
- 7:22is where legends are made anyways on today's culture.
- 7:27I saw this a couple tweets from Tom Luongo and and if you guys
- 7:32aren't familiar with him, he's a great I guess you call him like
- 7:36geopolitical analyst. He he is kind of Loki a gold bug
- 7:39and I know he's kind of maybe loosely.
- 7:42Understands Bitcoin. But he created this meme and and
- 7:45I really wanted to touch on it today because it kind of changed
- 7:49my views on what we've been talking about.
- 7:51We're always talking about, you know, the normies out there or
- 7:54in the not so nice way, you know, the sheeple out there.
- 7:57And he coined this new phrase about like the masses are are.
- 8:03Are comfortable wolves and I I really want to cover this
- 8:06because I think it does change the framing and it's a little
- 8:10more positive view on what's going on in the world.
- 8:12And we talk about it constantly that people need to feel pain
- 8:15and once they feel that pain and they wake up man shit's going to
- 8:17get really crazy and it really does feel like this is where we
- 8:20are right now. So you know just prepare
- 8:23yourself it's it's you know are we on the precipice of a global
- 8:26recession? Who knows?
- 8:28Are we? You know, Are we currently in a
- 8:30depression? I don't know the official
- 8:32numbers are lying to us, but we know that the inflation is
- 8:35higher than they want and your purchasing power is going down
- 8:38the drain. And I have these conversations
- 8:40with a bunch of my Bitcoin friends and we're all feeling
- 8:42the same thing. It's like, man, dude, things are
- 8:44getting more expensive and it's only a matter of time until
- 8:46people start to ask what the hell is going on right now.
- 8:50And This is why we keep planting the seeds here on the show, you
- 8:54know, in personal conversations with people in real life.
- 8:57And it's like we have built. A foundation for people to
- 9:01protect themselves, to get on the exit boat, Get on the safety
- 9:04net, which is Bitcoin. So get on the Bitcoin standard
- 9:06guys. Get on the Bitcoin standard.
- 9:08That's right. Just get on the Bitcoin
- 9:09standard. Get on the life raft.
- 9:11And you know you'd be watching the world around you doing its
- 9:15thing. But you know that your future,
- 9:18your family's future, your wealth, your time, your energy,
- 9:20your work is protected by the largest decentralized computing
- 9:25network in the. Sorry, I'm laughing at the chat.
- 9:27You guys are wild, bro. Hey, anyways, everybody, let's
- 9:30jump into the numbers. The Bitcoin numbers.
- 9:34Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
- 9:37Is your seed phrase really secure?
- 9:40Stamp seeds? Do it yourself.
- 9:41Kit has everything you need to hammer your seed words into
- 9:45commercial grade titanium plates instead of just writing them on
- 9:49paper. Don't store your generational
- 9:52wealth on paper. Papers prone to water damage,
- 9:56fire damage. You want to put your
- 9:57generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
- 10:01earth, Titanium. Your words are actually stamped
- 10:03into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps.
- 10:07And once your words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
- 10:10No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
- 10:13everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
- 10:16survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
- 10:19They're also crushproof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
- 10:22time proof. All things that paper is not
- 10:24allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for
- 10:27the long haul. Stamp your seed on stamp, seed.
- 10:32That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Don't put yourself in
- 10:35a position where you have to explain to your grandchildren
- 10:37why you lost your generational wealth because you decided to
- 10:40store. Store it on paper.
- 10:42Store your generational wealth on titanium, one of the
- 10:45strongest metals on planet earth.

- 10:54At the time of recording the Bitcoin price is 26,640 sats per
- 11:00dollar 3754 block height 808 hundred and 7650 blocks to
- 11:08having 32,350 having estimate April 22nd, 2024 Total lightning
- 11:14network capacity 4776 Bitcoin capacity value 127 million U.S.
- 11:22dollars. Realize monetary inflation
- 11:251.75%. The market capitalization of
- 11:29Bitcoin $519 billion with a B Bitcoin versus gold market cap
- 11:374.07%. Very very very nice.
- 11:41All right. Good numbers overall.
- 11:42You know, I love my favorites. That I always tell you guys,
- 11:45this is the realized monetary inflation of Bitcoin 1.75%.
- 11:50That number is going to continue to go down forever.
- 11:54So it continues to take Fiat currencies to absolute school.
- 11:58Even if they get it to their targeted Holy Grail 2%
- 12:01inflation, you know it's not even going to come close.
- 12:05Anyways, I do have some. My favorite number is Block High
- 12:08cuz that number is going up forever.
- 12:09Laura, that that that number just it just makes an all time
- 12:13high every 10 minutes, no matter.
- 12:14What next block? It's almost like pre coined next
- 12:17block. Anyways, here's a clip.
- 12:19I have two clips for you guys. Here's a clip from SEC chair
- 12:22chair Gary Genzer and he said some interesting things at the
- 12:26hearing. We're going to play you some
- 12:28clips of this hearing as the days go by though, so let's
- 12:30check out this clip and I have another one.
- 12:33Then we'll talk about it and help protect Americans from the
- 12:35crypto abuses that cost consumers billions.
- 12:40If they were to live up to the investor protection built into
- 12:43their current laws, it would help investors.
- 12:46But right now unfortunately there's significant non
- 12:49compliance and it's a field which is rife with fraud, abuse
- 12:54and misconduct and help protect Americans from the.
- 12:58So I I, I I want to two things right.
- 13:02I agree in a way and I agree in the sense that it is full of
- 13:07fraud, it is full of abuse, it is full of misconduct.
- 13:12Now the initial part and help protect Americans from the
- 13:16crypto abuses that cost consumers billions.
- 13:21I'm going to reframes that right from the crypto abuse that cost
- 13:25consumers billions. Fine.
- 13:27You could say shit coins, you could say this.
- 13:29What about from the governmental inflationary abuse that cost
- 13:35people all around the world millions if not billions of
- 13:39dollars? Why is that?
- 13:41Never talked about? And that brings me to one of
- 13:46Tucker's episodes that he did in Argentina.
- 13:49He did an episode about a 10 minute episode covering what's
- 13:52happening in Argentina. He's going to cover, he's going
- 13:54to interview Javier Meli. Javier Meli is, he is.
- 13:59He's a hardcore Austrian economist, libertarian.
- 14:03He wants to end the central bank, you know, he wants to cut
- 14:06down on the administrative state, all of that stuff, He
- 14:09said some pretty crazy stuff. Not going to lie.
- 14:12Tucker's going to interview him tomorrow.
- 14:13But what was really interesting about Tucker's opening
- 14:16monologue, which we're going to cover extensively tomorrow, is
- 14:22he said, the quiet part out loud, that invade and inflation
- 14:25is theft. Politicians aren't productive.
- 14:29The way that they raise money is through direct taxation.
- 14:32But they could only do that for so long until people revolt.
- 14:36So they do that through the hidden tax of inflation.
- 14:39We must continue to chip away at this right?
- 14:43Like, you know, peacefully, of course, but chip, chip away at
- 14:47this move the Overton window. Start, get, start getting people
- 14:53to ask the question, what is money?
- 14:55Why does my money lose purchasing power?
- 14:58Is it necessary for my money to lose purchasing power?
- 15:02That's when people are going to start asking really big
- 15:04questions. And remember, they do not have a
- 15:07response to this anyways. Talking about shifting the
- 15:10Overton window, Here's Joe Squawk.
- 15:13Five years ago you would have never have believed this.
- 15:17We did have a a bitcoiner who was a writer for Forbes and he
- 15:21got a bit upset when I said that the legacy corporate media
- 15:25change their tune because of the BlackRock Spot ETF.
- 15:29And he said no, that's not true. I was working at Forbes from
- 15:31before Okay. I I take his word for it, he's a
- 15:33bitcoiner, I believe him. But the legacy corporate media,
- 15:38you know, mainstream news, cable news, are you trying to tell me
- 15:43that the interest from BlackRock to launch a spot ETF has not
- 15:47influenced their change of tune whatsoever?
- 15:51I don't know about that. Anyways, here's Joe Squawk.
- 15:53It's about a one minute clip and then we'll talk about it and
- 15:56move on to crypto. If you'd indulge me for a
- 15:57second, because we always have these crypto conversations and
- 16:01there seems to be this thing happening.
- 16:03I don't know if Joe, we were talking about $25,000 with
- 16:06Bitcoin. Meanwhile, BlackRock and all
- 16:08these folks, all the folks that we thought were never going to
- 16:11do this, are now doing it. And yet it's not moving at all
- 16:14well. It's moving today.
- 16:16Well, I mean, sure, 26. This is 26.
- 16:20It was 4 when when we started saying it wasn't going anywhere.
- 16:254000 Oh well OK, but so but the question is, is this now a risk
- 16:30on a risk off thing? What do you, how do you even
- 16:33correlate this to what's happening with the Fed?
- 16:34Because for a long time you used to talk about crypto in regard
- 16:37to the Fed. So, so I think crypto settling
- 16:40as part of the ecosystem. I think people have recognized
- 16:43it is not the new global currency.
- 16:45People have also recognized it's not going to disappear tomorrow.
- 16:47It's becoming institutionalized. And I think actually if I were a
- 16:52crypto person, I think this maturation process is a good.
- 16:55Thing where it moves from day-to-day is I can't really
- 17:00comment on. That I still think it's
- 17:01outperformed every asset in one year, five year and 10 year.
- 17:10I mean, I I think, I think he's pretty jaded a little bit,
- 17:13right? Like, you know it's it's going
- 17:15to zero at 4000. And mind you like Pete Rosa does
- 17:19a great job doing this, but like he goes back in time and finds
- 17:23like original posts of people, which is why it's so important
- 17:26to zoom out when in doubt of people posting a Bitcoin isn't
- 17:30going anywhere. And Bitcoin was at like $100,
- 17:33Bitcoin was at like $200.00 at the time, right.
- 17:36So like when in doubt, zoom out. Obviously Joe's completely
- 17:40converted. He's like, why have we been
- 17:42talking about the short term volatility When we started, when
- 17:45we started covering this, it was literally at $4000.
- 17:49It's at 26,000 at the at the, you know, depths of of bear
- 17:53market. He gets it.
- 17:55I mean, and this is actually one of the things that has helped
- 17:59me, orange pill as many people as possible.
- 18:03It hasn't been me saying that bitcoins better money.
- 18:07It hasn't been me saying like, oh look, you know, separate
- 18:11money from state hasn't been me saying, you know, it's a
- 18:14deflationary currency, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 18:17You know, what's been the biggest converter of people?
- 18:20You plant the seed, you say Bitcoin, right?
- 18:23They ignore you for like a couple of years and two, three
- 18:26years later pass number goes up and all of a sudden you get that
- 18:30text from that friend that you haven't talked to in a long time
- 18:33and he's like, hey, about that Bitcoin thing.
- 18:36NGU is the biggest converter of people.
- 18:39It is the biggest orange pillar in my opinion is the most
- 18:43effective way. And clearly you could see that
- 18:44with Joe, right? He was like, yeah, I mean we
- 18:48start covering this was at 4K. I don't know what you're talking
- 18:50about. The short term volatility.
- 18:52What the Hell's wrong with you anyways?
- 18:54Why are you pulling that up, Opti?
- 18:56Oh, it's from wine. It's from wine.
- 19:01Oh man. Anyways, wine.
- 19:02What's wine? Just called you wine.
- 19:04What's your mouth? You know of all the disgrace
- 19:06you've ever done and all the trolling, calling me wine might
- 19:10be the worst. No, I'm just trolling.
- 19:11Love you wine. Anyways, first and foremost.
- 19:14You know, shout out the joke, Kernan.
- 19:16Absolutely love to see him just constantly battle the corporate
- 19:20BS FUD around Bitcoin. And and I say this all the time,
- 19:24you know, like, number go up, love it or hate it.
- 19:27Is the fundamental thing driving all of Bitcoin adoption.
- 19:30There's that and then on the negative side, all of the crazy
- 19:33stuff coming out from, you know, the bureaucrats out there, we we
- 19:36covered the G20 stuff where they're trying to roll out a
- 19:39digital IDCBDC, central bank, digital control mechanisms.
- 19:44And these two things together are in my opinion the driving
- 19:48forces for Bitcoin adoption. It's like you, we say it all the
- 19:51time and and the memes been catching on me because I don't
- 19:54know if you've been seeing it on Twitter, but Bitcoin or slavery?
- 19:57It's starting to catch on and people are starting to notice
- 20:00that it's not even hyperbolic anymore.
- 20:03But anyways, starting with the first video, I totally agree
- 20:07with that congressman or whatever.
- 20:10Like crypto is full of fraud. Like 100% agree.
- 20:13Hence why we're Bitcoin only. Like there's Bitcoin and there's
- 20:16shit Coin and it it triggered the thought in my mind about I I
- 20:22think I brought it up last week. It was the idea, I forget what
- 20:26video it was, but we played something on in the numbers
- 20:29about the the scene versus the unseen consequences of economics
- 20:33and it's very clearly visible, the scene consequences of crypto
- 20:37scams and very easily noticed and you know, it's always rolled
- 20:41out as like the detriment to the whole Bitcoin industry and those
- 20:45are the scene consequences. Obviously there's been a lot of
- 20:48people getting rug pulled, getting, you know, losing their
- 20:51their life savings because of shit coin scams.
- 20:53And so it's very easily an emotional thing you can roll
- 20:58out. So people are like, ah, let's
- 20:59protect the little guy. But as we've going to cover, and
- 21:03I and I really thought you were going to play that Tucker
- 21:05Carlson video that you put on your Twitter.
- 21:07I'm. I'm dude.
- 21:08I mean, so I was divided. I was divided about what?
- 21:11I wanted to make the show. No worries.
- 21:13I was like, I was like, okay, are we going to make it about
- 21:15Tucker? Are we going to make this about
- 21:17the sailor? I think the sailor thing I was,
- 21:20I was much more excited about the sailor thing.
- 21:22Little little thing came. Around in my head, I'm like,
- 21:25holy cow, the three things that Michael Saylor said needed to
- 21:29happen for Bitcoin to hit 5 million.
- 21:32All of those things have happened.
- 21:33They've all happened, right. So I was like, we have to cover
- 21:36this. We will cover Tucker.
- 21:38Tomorrow is really actually made a thumbnail for Tucker and
- 21:41everything. It was really good.
- 21:42But I guess, I guess you know we'll put we'll put a pin on
- 21:46that thought. But tomorrow, remember, we're
- 21:48going to be talking about the unseen consequences of money
- 21:50printing. And that always gets obfuscated,
- 21:53always gets lost on people because it's not like a linear
- 21:56connection, you know, like you, you gotta, you know, there's
- 21:59some nuance to this and most people can't think past like 20
- 22:02seconds, you know, ADHD or whatever.
- 22:04Like we're all being inundated with so much dopamine from from
- 22:08social media that we either tune out or it just like it doesn't
- 22:11seem like it's important. And and I can see people in the
- 22:14chat saying the same thing that we always hear is like once you
- 22:17start talking about Bitcoin, once you say the B word, people
- 22:20instantly tune out and it's only a matter of time until people
- 22:23wake up to what's going on here. So you know, plant those Bitcoin
- 22:28fundamentals into people's minds without using the B word usually
- 22:31helps and and goes a long way. And then you find like, hey, you
- 22:35know, have you heard about Bitcoin?
- 22:37Here's the pill, take it. But yeah, man, it just it just
- 22:41goes to show that the world is waking up and every metric that
- 22:45I'm seeing is pointing towards the fact that I think in 2025
- 22:50more people are going to wake up to the scam that is Fiat and of
- 22:55course the safety boat that is Bitcoin.
- 22:57And hey, we're here for it. So I'm, I am super excited.
- 23:02And yes, yes, hold on, hold on Arthur.

- 24:53model, gorgeous design, craft, premium grade materials if
- 24:56you're thinking about getting your Bitcoin off.
- 24:59Changes, This is the one for you.
- 25:01Check out the passport link in the show notes below to learn
- 25:04more. All right guys, I literally made
- 25:08it easy for you. All you gotta do is pull out
- 25:09your phone, scan the QR code, take you directly to the
- 25:12Foundation Devices website where you can get yourself a Passport
- 25:17hardware wallet. It's one of the nicest hardware
- 25:19wallets on the market. I highly, highly recommend it.
- 25:22Take your Bitcoin into self custody anyways.
- 25:26The moment you guys have all been waiting for.
- 25:28This is a Twitter space, as Michael Saylor did a while ago.
- 25:32And like I said, he said three things 1233 things needed to
- 25:38happen in order for Bitcoin to hit 5 million.
- 25:42Ladies and gentlemen, those three things have happened.
- 25:45Enough of me. Let's hear from the Chad Saylor
- 25:48himself and then I'll break it down And and you think the
- 25:52catalyst that 10X is, it really is.
- 25:55The the moment that JP Morgan Chase or or or other big money
- 25:59center banks can custody these for large corporates, that's it.
- 26:02That's the sea change because there's really no reason why
- 26:05they shouldn't be diversifying the assets on their balance
- 26:08sheet. Is that, is that your take?
- 26:09Because I know that, like Tim Cook, I don't know where it came
- 26:11from earlier this week, he said. Something like, ah, I own some
- 26:13Bitcoin but we have no designs on anything or I don't know if
- 26:17you said Bitcoin or crypto in general is that the thing?
- 26:19And then and then the I think there's.
- 26:22Look, first of all it's going up by a factor of 10 whether they
- 26:25fix any of the stuff, right? It's going to go a lot.
- 26:28It's going to be a grind up by a factor of 10 just because gold
- 26:32is broken and the coins going to replace gold.
- 26:35And now everybody in the universe knows they need a non
- 26:39solver and store a value in the form of a bearer instrument.
- 26:42So now they're looking the the amount of stories for last year.
- 26:47People said inflation may be coming.
- 26:49We're not sure. Now the mainstream narrative is
- 26:52flipped to inflation is here. You need inflation hedge.
- 26:55So it's going to grind up to replace gold.
- 26:58It'll go to $500,000 a coin regardless of why they fix these
- 27:01things. But there are three things that
- 27:03are massive catalysts that cause an acceleration.
- 27:07And I don't think that those three things don't take us to
- 27:11500,000, they take us to 5 million a coin, right?
- 27:15Those three things are. A spot ETF where someone can go
- 27:20ahead and buy $100 million of Bitcoin via security and ETF
- 27:24security. I think that's 1/2 is your bank
- 27:28is going to custody it for you and lend against it.
- 27:32And three is I can mark it up or mark it down on my balance sheet
- 27:38based on fair value para pursue that.
- 27:41It'll be para pursuit to the way I'd handle Apple stock, or at
- 27:45least that good. If it's if you have property
- 27:49with fair value accounting by the way, it becomes parapasu to
- 27:54the way you'd handle treasury bonds on a treasury balance
- 27:58sheet. Treasuries are better than
- 28:00stocks because treasury is property whereas the stock is a
- 28:04security and you're capped out at 40% of your balance sheet is
- 28:08security. So.
- 28:09So it would be a major, major breakthrough if if you saw any
- 28:15of those three things. And I'll end with this one
- 28:18observation. I tweeted this last week, but I
- 28:20still I think it's very powerful.
- 28:22It's if the banks can hold this stuff on their balance sheet,
- 28:26then a whole new class of investors are going to buy it.
- 28:30People are going to put in billion and multibillion dollar
- 28:33orders to buy it as a Treasury asset.
- 28:36Nobody's going to sell it because because there's no
- 28:38reason to sell it if you can borrow against it at Libor plus
- 28:42Art Sofer plus 50 basis points. Right.
- 28:47So you'll be, you'll be barring against Bitcoin.
- 28:49It's so for plus 50 or so, for plus 100 basis points, no one's
- 28:53ever gonna sell it. And then as I joked, you won't
- 28:56be able to afford it. I mean, you will be able to
- 28:58afford it. But you know, everybody gets
- 28:59Bitcoin at the price they deserve.
- 29:02Boom. Chad Sealer coming in strong.
- 29:06I mean if that is not a better, you know, argument.
- 29:09As to why, you should literally pause the show right now.
- 29:13Stop what you're doing, stack some Sats.
- 29:15I don't know what is. Absolutely nailed it.
- 29:19The Fast B ruling was massive. So let's get into those three
- 29:22things. Let's break it down one by one.
- 29:24We connect the dots and simply Bitcoin.
- 29:26You guys know the deal, so the Fast B ruling was absolutely
- 29:29massive. Is this something that we
- 29:30covered on Simply Bitcoin last week?
- 29:34So fast B votes in favor of Fair value accounting for Bitcoin.
- 29:38In a long anticipated anticipated move, Bloomberg Tax
- 29:42reported the Financial Act Accounting Standards Boards is
- 29:45set to introduce new fair value accounting rules for Bitcoin and
- 29:49other cryptocurrencies. These new rules aim to provide a
- 29:52more accurate reflection of the market value of digital assets
- 29:56and bring greater transparency to the financial reporting of
- 30:00companies that hold cryptocurrencies.
- 30:02The rules, expected to be published by the end of the
- 30:05year, are set to go into effect as soon as 2025, but companies
- 30:08will be able to apply them earlier than that, the report
- 30:10said. For years, the valuation of
- 30:12cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin has been a challenging aspect of
- 30:15financial reporting for companies.
- 30:17The volatile nature of these digital assets have made it
- 30:19difficult to accurately assess their fair market value under
- 30:23the current accounting standards.
- 30:25Companies often struggle to present a true picture of their
- 30:29financial health. Has the value of Bitcoin and
- 30:32cryptocurrencies fluctuate wildly?
- 30:35The Fasby's move to introduce fair value accounting rules will
- 30:38require companies to regularly assess the fair market value of
- 30:41the digital assets and report any fluctuations in value in
- 30:45value as part of their financial statements.
- 30:47This means that if the price of Bitcoin surges or plummets,
- 30:50companies will have to reflect these changes in their financial
- 30:52reports, providing stakeholders with a more accurate picture of
- 30:57their financial position. So that's number one.
- 31:01That is number one. That's that's number one that
- 31:03Michael Sailor said, let's move on to #2.
- 31:06Actually, I think number number number one was the spot Bitcoin
- 31:10ETF. But whatever, we're changing the
- 31:11order, it's Okay #2A, spot Bitcoin ETF.
- 31:16The one that I am the most optimistic about is the
- 31:20BlackRock spot ETF. BlackRock is the largest asset
- 31:23manager in the world. They have trillions upon
- 31:26trillions of dollars assets under management.
- 31:29They have a tremendous amount of political influence.
- 31:32So out of all the spot Bitcoin ETF's, I think that this one is
- 31:37the one that I'm most optimistic about.
- 31:39And remember, guys, it isn't just the spot Bitcoin ETF news
- 31:43that broke You have to connect the dots with the grayscale
- 31:47lawsuit that the government lost against grayscale, right.
- 31:51All kind of headed in the in in in the right direction for this
- 31:56inevitably to be approved. We know there's a spot Bitcoin
- 31:59ETF approved in Canada. It's already up and running.
- 32:01One got approved in Europe. How long until you know it gets
- 32:06approved in the United States? Now this is something that I
- 32:08asked Parker Lewis when he came on Simply Bitcoin IRL.
- 32:11Definitely check out that episode if you believed it was
- 32:13politically motivated. And if my memory serves me
- 32:17correctly. He said yes, I would agree to
- 32:19that statement as well. We know about Operation Choke
- 32:22Point 2.0. Caitlin Long came on the show to
- 32:26talk about, you know, Custodia Bank and how it was unfairly
- 32:29treated and it didn't receive the federal banking Charter.
- 32:34She said it not. This is not coming from my
- 32:36mouth. It came from Caitlin Long's
- 32:38mouth herself, she said. That she believes that it came
- 32:41directly from the White House to deny her a federal banking
- 32:45charter. And what's really interesting is
- 32:47that when she got denied a couple months later, the
- 32:50American version of a central bank digital currency, the Fed,
- 32:53now, was launched. Right.
- 32:55So a lot of coincidences. Anyways, so how a Bitcoin ETF
- 33:00$30 trillion in new capital will impact the Bitcoin price.
- 33:05So this article does a great job at kind of breaking it down,
- 33:08what it could mean. But without a doubt, I think
- 33:10Michael Saylor is right. I think that once you make it
- 33:13easy to, you know, get exposure to Bitcoin without, you know,
- 33:17going through the process of, you know, which is so crazy to
- 33:20me about the fact that I'm about to say this, but whatever.
- 33:25It's still crazy to me that like you can't just buy Bitcoin,
- 33:28These companies just can't buy Bitcoin and take it into self
- 33:30custody. But I get them, I I get it
- 33:32right? Like you know, there's a lot of
- 33:34do they have the infrastructure to do that.
- 33:37You know, you obviously have to use multi cig, whatever.
- 33:39A lot of people just feel comfortable outsourcing that.
- 33:42Obviously we can't recommend that.
- 33:44We actually recommend you to strictly take self custody of
- 33:47your Bitcoin, whatever which way you decide to acquire it.
- 33:51Obviously we recommend SWAN, you know, take that said Bitcoin
- 33:54into self custody. But still, I think the BlackRock
- 33:57ETF could, you know, meaningfully impact the price.
- 34:02Now 2 two schools of thought on this, Greg Foss and James
- 34:07Lavish, which we had on the IRL, they said, yes, this is going to
- 34:10be very, very beneficial for the price because it's a spot ETF.
- 34:14They're not going to be able to rehypothecate it.
- 34:16Now on the other side of the argument, Lawrence Lapard and
- 34:19Caitlin Long said. Rehypothecation,
- 34:21rehypothecation, rehypothecation.
- 34:23Right. So I think a spot Bitcoin ETF is
- 34:26a double edged sword, definitely.
- 34:27I I could definitely foresee it, you know, causing some type of
- 34:31downward pressure if there is rehypothecation.
- 34:34I mean they did the same thing with gold.
- 34:37What makes you think that they wouldn't try to do the same
- 34:39thing with Bitcoin? That's my take on that.
- 34:41And then last but not least is banks, right?
- 34:45Banks having the ability to take custody of you know of of
- 34:49digital assets for their clients.
- 34:52This is another massive bank that that Deutsche Bank to hold
- 34:58one of the largest banks in the world.
- 35:00This just dropped from Reuters an article today Deutsche Bank
- 35:03to hold crypto for institutional clients.
- 35:06Deutsche Bank has partnered with Swiss crypto firm Tara's to
- 35:09provide custody services for institutional clients, crypto
- 35:12currencies and tokenized assets, Tara said in a statement on
- 35:16Thursday. The partnership means Deutsche
- 35:18Bank will for the first time be able to hold a limited number of
- 35:22crypto currencies for its clients, as well as tokenized
- 35:25versions of traditional financial assets.
- 35:28A Deutsche Bank spokesperson said.
- 35:31But it isn't. Also, it isn't only Deutsche
- 35:33Bank, there's a lot of other banks that did this as well.
- 35:35I'm just going to mention this one because there's a large bank
- 35:39in the United States and this actually was announced October
- 35:4311th of last year. Beyond BNY Mellon today
- 35:46announced that it's digital asset custody platform.
- 35:50Is live in the US with select clients now able to hold and
- 35:54transfer Bitcoin and ether. This milestone reinforces Beyond
- 35:59B and Wise Melon commitment to support client demand for a
- 36:03trusted provider of both traditional and digital asset
- 36:07servicing. So the three things that Michael
- 36:10Saylor said needed to happen for Bitcoin to hit $5,000,000, all
- 36:14of those things. Check them off.
- 36:16The only thing you could not say.
- 36:18Has not happened yet. Is the spot Bitcoin ETF.
- 36:22But how long will Gary Genzer be able to hold that?
- 36:25Damn right. How, like how long will he be
- 36:27able to delay it? There's a lot of pressure.
- 36:30There's lawsuits going. He got absolutely massacred
- 36:33grilled in in Congress about this.
- 36:36So you know, do I can't say for a for certain that it's
- 36:41politically motivated? I cannot say that for certain,
- 36:45but. I'll just say this lots of
- 36:48coincidences. It has me suspicious.
- 36:51And you know what I said in the very beginning of the show?
- 36:55The biggest converter. The converter to make people
- 37:00bitcoiners, to make people believe in Bitcoin.
- 37:02It's not. It's not the memes, it's not the
- 37:06content. It's not and not to bash on the
- 37:09content. You know, the the all the
- 37:10articles and books that all these awesome, amazing
- 37:13bitcoiners have written, all the video console, the digital
- 37:16content that have made, right? It's not to say that it doesn't
- 37:20move the needle, but what really, really moves the needle
- 37:23is NGU number go up. And here's the thing.
- 37:28As soon as the spot Bitcoin ETF gets approved in the United
- 37:32States, you can make a pretty sure bet.
- 37:35That number go up is gonna do what number go up does.
- 37:39And I'm gonna kind of connect this with.
- 37:41And of course, anyone who's not a fan of Bitcoin, and there's a
- 37:45lot of people that are not a fan of Bitcoin in the current
- 37:47administration, look at the wording that came out of the
- 37:50presidential economic report they bashed on.
- 37:54On a non states money they they made the case as to why central
- 37:58banking was necessary and they made the case for the necessity
- 38:03of central bank digital currencies.
- 38:04The US Treasury released a paper late last year called The Future
- 38:09of Money and Pay Payments in that entire paper, literally
- 38:12called The Future of Money. They did not mention Bitcoin as
- 38:17the future of money. They mentioned payment
- 38:19platforms, they mentioned stable coins, and they mentioned
- 38:22central bank digital currencies. So is it too much?
- 38:26It's too, is it too much to say? Is it is it a stretch too far to
- 38:30say that perhaps the delay by the SEC to approve a spot
- 38:36Bitcoin ETF is not politically motivated?
- 38:39I don't know. I don't know.
- 38:41I can't say it but from from our angle maybe we maybe it's
- 38:45because we cover this every single day.
- 38:48Could be. So one last thing one last
- 38:50thought I want to leave with you guys Last Bitcoin bull market
- 38:552020-2021 it was it was going nuts.
- 39:00I I I truly believe you were going to hit 100K.
- 39:02In fact, I think we should have hit 100K Bitcoin but in the
- 39:06middle of that bull market. You know what happened?
- 39:09There was a state attack. You know what the state attack
- 39:12was on? I believe it was an attack on
- 39:15the price. What happened?
- 39:17The CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, bans Bitcoin miners
- 39:22within China. The hash rate plummeted.
- 39:26The plummeted. It plummeted the Bitcoin hash
- 39:28rate as miners went offline. And you know what also plummeted
- 39:33with the hash rate? The price of Bitcoin.
- 39:35Why? Because a lot of those miners
- 39:37needed to sell Bitcoin in order to relocate to a more favorable
- 39:43jurisdiction. I truly believe that was the
- 39:46main reason. And I know it's very I know a
- 39:49lot of people disagree with me, but I'm literally, I'm telling
- 39:52you, don't take my word for it. Look at actually Opti.
- 39:55Why don't you pull it up while while I continue talking about
- 39:57it, if you look at the Bitcoin hash rate.
- 40:01And the price of Bitcoin, when that went down, there's a direct
- 40:05correlation between the hash rate plummeting and the price of
- 40:09Bitcoin. And I really believe that cut
- 40:13the last bull market short. It took the momentum out of the
- 40:17bull market. It was still able to make it
- 40:20kind of creep up to all time highs.
- 40:22But you'll see that momentum like it's it's almost like it
- 40:26was chopped at the knees and and you could almost say, right,
- 40:28it's another big coincidence. It's another big coincidence
- 40:32because who benefits? Who benefits from Bitcoin not
- 40:37reaching 100K120K. You know who benefits?
- 40:40The people that are pushing central bank digital currencies.
- 40:45So just my two cents there. Let's pull up this.
- 40:48Thank you Opti. I appreciate it.
- 40:52So if we pull this up, Opti, could you zoom in a little bit,
- 40:55this drag and drop between the. Yeah, there we go, awesome.
- 41:00Yeah, perfect. All right, so if you take a
- 41:03look, guys, the one is the hash rate.
- 41:07And I believe the hash rate is the darker blue and the price is
- 41:10the lighter blue. If you take a look at literally
- 41:13the price falling off the Cliff, take a look at what the hash
- 41:16rate was doing. Around the same time take a look
- 41:21at what the hash rate was doing, what the price was doing.
- 41:24That was downward pressure from minors.
- 41:27Remember at the time mine China had the vast majority of Bitcoin
- 41:31miners. That is downward pressure for
- 41:32minors trying to relocate overseas in a more favorable
- 41:37jurisdiction. Now Bitcoin won that battle.
- 41:41It won that battle with flying colors.
- 41:43Got an A. But you know, I I I truly
- 41:46believe, man don't. And I and I posted a I posted a
- 41:51a clip with Lawrence Lapard this morning.
- 41:54Do not underestimate how far you know certain people, The party
- 41:59of Green, to put it nicely, will go to maintain their privilege
- 42:05of being able to create money for free that everyone else has
- 42:08to work for that is a godlike privilege.
- 42:11Being able to counterfeit money, being able to create money out
- 42:14of thin air. What bitcoiners are advocating
- 42:17for is an equal system where no matter who you are, whether
- 42:22you're the president's emperor, king, God, king, whatever, if
- 42:25you want to make more Bitcoin, you have to spend on
- 42:29infrastructure to mindset Bitcoin.
- 42:32You have to buy it or you have to earn it.
- 42:34There is no easy way around it. There's no easy.
- 42:37You can't just create more of it.
- 42:39And that I think that itself, that fundamental idea will will
- 42:44fix the world. And that's how we get back to A
- 42:47to a sound money standard. Anyways, Opti, what's your take
- 42:50on all this, bro? Do you agree with Michael Saylor
- 42:53and his take that those are the three things that are going to
- 42:56take Bitcoin to 5 million US? I mean, I don't have the
- 42:59insights that Sailor does. So, you know, I I'm just an
- 43:03average bitcoiner that wants to stack Bitcoin and opt out of the
- 43:06madness. But it really goes to show.
- 43:10And it's something we've been talking about this bear market.
- 43:12I I think even yellow was quote tweeting me as saying this is
- 43:15the most bullish bear market yet.
- 43:17And it just, it's that one quote.
- 43:20What's the quote like? Sometimes decades happen in
- 43:23weeks and sometimes, you know, nothing happens in decades or
- 43:27whatever, you guys know the meme.
- 43:28Anyways, it just goes to show how quickly things are moving.
- 43:31You know when we covered the news about the Fazbee ruling
- 43:34last week? We, you know, we knew that there
- 43:37were some banks that were interested in custody Bitcoin
- 43:41and now we are seeing the dominoes start to fall very
- 43:44quickly and I think people underestimate how strong the
- 43:48incentive structures of Bitcoin are and we have to remember that
- 43:52if you are an asset manager right now, if you're holding.
- 43:55Anything in the traditional financial system and you're
- 43:58looking at the landscape, you are looking for a safety boat.
- 44:02You're looking for something that you can hold that is either
- 44:05going to make you profit or alternatively like Bitcoin
- 44:09outside of the traditional financial world so that you
- 44:11don't get absolutely wrecked. And so, you know, there is smart
- 44:15people out there. You can't just.
- 44:17Discount everyone and say that, oh, they're stupid because
- 44:20they're part of the financial, the traditional financial world.
- 44:22Like, they know what they're doing, they know what they're
- 44:24holding, and they're just hoping that they can basically play
- 44:27musical chairs long enough. And so if you are looking at the
- 44:30landscape, you are starting to understand the same thing that
- 44:34we talked about constantly, like oh wait, Bitcoin isn't going
- 44:37away. Oh wait, Bitcoin isn't dying.
- 44:40You know, as much as the corporate BS can come out and
- 44:42say, like, write a new Bitcoin obituary.
- 44:45TikTok Next Blog Bitcoins never been stronger.
- 44:48There's never been as much mind share in regards to Bitcoin and
- 44:51so people are starting to look for the alternatives because
- 44:54hey, I don't know if you've noticed, but your purchasing
- 44:57power isn't going far enough. Like the inflation is hitting
- 45:00everyone, even if you are one of the Canteon insiders.
- 45:04So like as a bitcoiner. You know, does this really mean
- 45:08much to me personally Because I always advocate, look if you're
- 45:12an average person of average means, then you should just be
- 45:14buying spot Bitcoin directly. Like just buy Bitcoin however
- 45:18you can or work for it, save for it, whatever.
- 45:21Whatever way of acquiring Bitcoin for you, I really don't
- 45:24care. Just all we need is more people
- 45:26holding Bitcoin and taking that Bitcoin into self custody.
- 45:30But with all that being said. To allow all of the liquidity
- 45:36and capital in the traditional financial world that is looking
- 45:39for somewhere to store their value, then all this stuff needs
- 45:42to play out and it's playing out in real time and the dominoes
- 45:45are getting stacked up real quickly.
- 45:46So like they understand that they need a safety valve.
- 45:50Like they need, they need a pressure relief valve here and
- 45:54that is what Bitcoin is and eliminating the obstacles that
- 45:57are you know spot Bitcoin ETF the FAS be ruling.
- 46:00And you know, unfortunately for us hardened bitcoiners like
- 46:04banks custoding your Bitcoin, which we always advocate like,
- 46:07don't give them your Bitcoin, guys.
- 46:09You know, make it through the hottle buyout zone.
- 46:10Do not even use any of this Mecca nations that are a part of
- 46:15the traditional financial world, whether that's the paper
- 46:17Bitcoin, you know, ETF's that we are always talking about,
- 46:20whether that's giving them custody of your Bitcoin.
- 46:22They're going to have to find ways to incentivize you to give
- 46:25up your Bitcoin and give them back control.
- 46:28Of you know, the same mechanisms that got us into this place in
- 46:31the 1st place And so they need to find escape valves.
- 46:35And and as another sailor meme was, was like everyone is
- 46:38holding melting ice cubes in their hands.
- 46:40You know everyone that holds Fiat understands that they are
- 46:44losing purchasing power and This is why everyone has been turned
- 46:46into a speculator because you need to keep you know what's
- 46:51what did they say? The Keynesians like you need to
- 46:53keep the velocity of money up so that the money you know spins
- 46:56around and people forget that. They're not making any fucking
- 46:59value. And so of course you need to
- 47:02eliminate all these obstacles so that the capital can flow into
- 47:05Bitcoin legally or, you know, legally as they try to figure
- 47:10out fiduciary responsibilities and all this stuff.
- 47:12And so hey, if these this is what Saylor says, you know, he,
- 47:16he owns, he's a billionaire. He owns a huge corporation.
- 47:19So I think he has a better insight into what is necessary
- 47:23for a bunch of capital to go into Bitcoin.
- 47:25And so, as just a bitcoiner, that's.
- 47:28It's like watching all this happen.
- 47:29It's like, yeah, of course these corporations need a way to get
- 47:34capital into Bitcoin because we we knew that Bitcoin was going
- 47:37to get financialized eventually. And we know that the
- 47:39institutions have been here. I've been having so many
- 47:42conversations with friends that like, I I think you guys forget
- 47:46that bitcoiners are everywhere. They work in corporations that,
- 47:49you know, they work in every corner of the world and they
- 47:53have friends that are high net worth individuals.
- 47:56And they're having these conversations and of course it's
- 47:58a little anecdotal, but people are interested in Bitcoin.
- 48:03They have to be. And again, it's kind of what I'm
- 48:05going to be talking about on the culture.
- 48:06It's like people are feeling the pain and they need to find a
- 48:09solution. Because again, if you are smart
- 48:11and you're holding any amount of wealth that you created
- 48:15yourself, you're looking at the landscape and you're like, holy
- 48:17shit, there is a problem and I need to figure out the solution
- 48:20or else I am going to get poor. And so people are looking for
- 48:23solutions. And obviously eliminating all
- 48:26these obstacles so that capital can flow into Bitcoin, it's
- 48:29gonna make number go up and number go up is the reason why
- 48:32people care say what you want about number go up or the number
- 48:36go up, Maxis, but we all basically.
- 48:40Got greedy, saw the Bitcoin price go up and realize like,
- 48:44holy shit I can make some profits here.
- 48:46I I can not get poorer by holding Bitcoin.
- 48:49And this is all anyone's trying to do, is just figure out ways
- 48:52to store value so that they can stop getting poorer.
- 48:55So if all these obstacles get eliminated, the number is going
- 49:00to go up dramatically. And it's upon us to make sure
- 49:04that people take Bitcoin into self custody, that they buy spot
- 49:07Bitcoin. It is a digital bearer
- 49:09instrument. Like you want to hold this
- 49:11directly. Do not give the middleman
- 49:13control of your money again. Or else we're going to end up in
- 49:17the same place that God is here in the 1st place, which is them
- 49:20rehypothecating your money, which is them, you know, doing
- 49:23all kinds of crazy things and speculating with your work, with
- 49:25your wealth and hey. You know, maybe I'm just a ADIQ
- 49:29bitcorner, but I'm feel very comfortable having my wealth,
- 49:33you know, metaphorically under my mattress in self custody.
- 49:38Like it it's so simple. I I really don't get how people
- 49:42think that it's okay to give someone your life savings and
- 49:46then expect them to, you know, like don't do crazy shit with
- 49:50it. Like it just it makes no sense
- 49:52to me. But hey, you know, people have
- 49:54been lulled to sleep and here we are and hey.
- 49:57The obstacles are getting removed and the capital is going
- 49:59to flow into Bitcoin. So it's going to be lit.
- 50:01Boom. Bars, bars.
- 50:03All right everybody, let's get no.
- 50:05Before we get to the culture, I want to give a very, very
- 50:09special shout out to our sponsor, the Bitcoin 2024

- 51:19What are you waiting for? Visit swanbitcoin.com today.
- 51:24Let's go, guys. All right, so give you guys some
- 51:26context on this tweet. First and foremost, if you guys
- 51:30aren't familiar with Tom Luongo, I highly suggest you go watch
- 51:34some of his YouTube videos and and his podcast appearances.
- 51:37He hosts a podcast. It's like gun gold.
- 51:41And goats or something like that.
- 51:43Sorry for birching that Tom, but anyways, he's been kind of going
- 51:46very hard on the idea of like Davos, man, you guys know World
- 51:50Economic Forum is held in Davos every year and we understand
- 51:55here at least that's simply Bitcoin.
- 51:57What the World Economic Forum wants to do, what they're trying
- 52:00to do and even we cover it constantly on the show.
- 52:02What they've been saying directly, you know, TLDR you
- 52:05will own nothing and be happy. They want you in 15 minutes
- 52:07cities. They want you literally, as I
- 52:09always say, deaf, dumb and blind.
- 52:11And they're constantly rolling stuff out to gaslight the
- 52:14population into following their very evil and nefarious stuff
- 52:18that Dr. Evil. I mean, Claus Schwab tries to
- 52:20roll out. Anyways, he's quote tweeting
- 52:23this video that came out of Robert F Kennedy Jr.
- 52:27Basically saying that there won't be any sense of fairness
- 52:32in the democratic elections or nominations coming up.
- 52:35And I'm not going to play the video.
- 52:37You guys can find this on on Twitter if you really want the
- 52:40whole sauce about what he's quote tweeting.
- 52:43And that's not really what I'm going to talk about.
- 52:44But here's the thread and he quote tweets and he goes OK, I
- 52:48was wrong. This is Pete Davos.
- 52:50And you guys know me. I've been saying on the show
- 52:51constantly about the idea of have we hit Pete Clown World?
- 52:55Well, every other day we find something new that's like this
- 52:59is Pete Clown World. So this is, I think, Tom
- 53:01Malongo's way of saying the same thing.
- 53:03Like this is Pete Davos. Anyways, the reason I wanted to
- 53:05bring this up is because I've been constantly saying the same
- 53:08thing on the show for the last couple of weeks is that people
- 53:10need to feel pain like people need to.
- 53:15Search for solutions to a very personal problem and we are in a
- 53:18situation right now where the zeitgeist is.
- 53:21People are understanding that they're getting poorer, that
- 53:23there is a problem and they don't know what the solution is,
- 53:26And many even on that same, a lot of people can't even explain
- 53:29what the problem is. They just.
- 53:31They just feel that there's something wrong.
- 53:33And we've seen this. You know the what's the Richmond
- 53:35North of Richmond song that went viral?
- 53:38We're seeing the TikTok videos on social media about people
- 53:41feeling like they're getting poorer.
- 53:43You know, we're seeing all the crazy numbers coming out of the
- 53:46White House where they're faking and fibbing all this stuff to
- 53:49make you feel like you aren't as poor as you are and.
- 53:53That's like the zeitgeist right now.
- 53:55It's the unspoken feeling that we're all feeling right now.
- 53:57It's like, are we in a recession?
- 53:59Are we in a Great Depression? You know, like, where are we
- 54:02right now? I know most people in their
- 54:05daily lives are just starting to feel the squeeze.
- 54:08They're starting to feel that their money isn't going far
- 54:10enough. So.
- 54:11Getting to this point, and it's what I've been saying, people
- 54:13need to feel the pain before they wake up.
- 54:15And I really like this framing that Tom Luongo just created the
- 54:19other day. And I and I think it's a very
- 54:20powerful framing. So let's get into this.
- 54:22He goes, he quotes, tweets, this RFK video about the chicanery
- 54:26that is going to go on. And then in the elections next
- 54:28year and he goes, OK, I was wrong, this is Pete Davos.
- 54:31And then people responded and go, we can't vote our way out of
- 54:34this mess. Maybe he's starting to realize
- 54:35that and that's something we say all the time.
- 54:37There is no political solution to this.
- 54:39But this is where I think the framing.
- 54:42Is very strong and Tom Luongo has been saying stuff like this
- 54:46for a while and I really think he gets what's going on.
- 54:48Even though he's kind of a gold bug and he's, I don't think he's
- 54:50very big on Bitcoin, then we can work on them.
- 54:54Even though I know Phil Gibson's has been talking to Tom Luongo,
- 54:58he's still not fully a Bitcoin anyways.
- 54:59That's besides the point Tom Luongo responds with.
- 55:02It's not about boating our way out of this mess, it's about
- 55:04forcing them to expose the hypocrisy to those who still
- 55:07believe that we can. There are millions of normies
- 55:10out there that still need to believe.
- 55:11The system isn't terminally corrupt and we constantly talk
- 55:14about this on the show. Like it blows my mind that
- 55:15people still have faith in the system when it's so obvious to
- 55:18us, like when it's so thoroughly been exposed that there is
- 55:22fraud, that there is blatant theft coming from the powers
- 55:27that be. And yet people still believe
- 55:29that, you know, the people in suits on the TV are are working
- 55:32for their best intentions and it it just blows my mind.
- 55:35I constantly go back to the Dave Chappelle meme of him being a
- 55:39politician, and that's all I ever see when I.
- 55:41To see politicians talk. And so I I fully agree that,
- 55:44look, a lot of times planting the message of Bitcoin isn't
- 55:48necessarily hitting them with the facts and the figures.
- 55:50It's about, as we say, winning the hearts and minds of the
- 55:52masses. And 1st you got to incept the
- 55:54idea that there is a problem, that people are lying to them,
- 55:57that the whole thing is fake and fraud and there is no fixing the
- 56:00system because people still believe they can vote their way
- 56:03out. But it's not so much about
- 56:05telling people that we can vote our way out.
- 56:07It's more about showing people the hypocrisy that there is
- 56:11something wrong and so someone responds you can't train sheep
- 56:15to think and 90% of the human race or sheep and I have also
- 56:18fallen into this framing. You know you get very black
- 56:21pilled at times and you're like man, like are people really this
- 56:24dumb? And I hate saying that because I
- 56:27am team human and I and I am very hopeful and and I like to
- 56:30think the best in people and I I found myself getting very black
- 56:33pills like man. You know, maybe people are just
- 56:37not that smart and they don't want hard money and they much
- 56:41rather have, what's the meme like comfortable slavery than
- 56:44dangerous freedom. And I think Tom Longo just blew
- 56:48that out of my mind. And I and I was kind of having
- 56:50these conversations of like point of view, like trying to be
- 56:52a little more optimistic. I know Opti be more optimistic
- 56:55and look at the world clearly and maybe even naively
- 56:58optimistic, as I always say. And I really like this tweet and
- 57:02this framing from Tom Long and he goes, bullshit.
- 57:04Most people are not sheep. They are just comfortable
- 57:07wolves. Take enough comfort away and
- 57:08you'll see the wolf come out fast.
- 57:11And I think this is such a good framing because we constantly
- 57:15say in the same vein like people need to feel the pain and once
- 57:18they feel the pain, like they become savages.
- 57:21Like they wake up very pissed off, very angry, and you
- 57:25constantly see it, you know, even coming from more
- 57:28progressive people like. They wake up, they get pissed
- 57:31off and they start protesting and they start burning cities
- 57:34down like people are just comfortable wolves right now.
- 57:37If they feel enough pain, they will wake up and want to change
- 57:40something. And you know, maybe you and
- 57:44you're seeing that, you're seeing that too.
- 57:45You're seeing that in Argentina, right?
- 57:46Like you're seeing that, like thirst.
- 57:49And that's the point that I wanted to kind of double down
- 57:51on. Guys is like, don't be so black
- 57:54pilled. And I was very black pilled as
- 57:55well, where it's like, man, people maybe are she, But I
- 57:58think people are just so comfortable, they're lolled to
- 58:00sleep. You know, you weren't taught
- 58:01about this stuff. It took you a long time to
- 58:03become a bitcoiner. And then you woke up with a
- 58:06vengeance and you stacked your ass off.
- 58:09You went so hard. You've had these very
- 58:11headtohead, you know, argument with your family and you stood
- 58:14your ground. And I think more people are
- 58:16waking up to the fact that there is a problem.
- 58:18And once they finally wake up, like things are going to get
- 58:21kicked into OverDrive. And so, just to finish this rant
- 58:23off, I want to end on Tom Longos.
- 58:26He did it even longer. Response, so I'm going to read
- 58:28it here because I think it's great framing, guys.
- 58:30So Tom Longo responds. He goes in response to those
- 58:33triggered by me having the temerity to have a little faith
- 58:35in people by calling them comfortable wolves.
- 58:37Here's my sermon from my digital mount for today.
- 58:40The whole people are sheep. Idea is itself a psyop to keep
- 58:43leaders from emerging from the dissident class, both left and
- 58:46right, if you believe the task is too.
- 58:48Big Will you do it? Will you do the cost benefit
- 58:50analysis and say fuck it, Who wants π?
- 58:52Divide and conquer takes many forms.
- 58:54This idea is one of them. Bleeding off the energy of those
- 58:57who see the corruption earliest extends the lifespan of the
- 59:00tyrannical system. The very personality types who
- 59:03should emerge as leaders against the psychotic alphas are the
- 59:06ones handed a platform like Twitter to vent their nihilism
- 59:09and hatred of humanity. It's not just the shit lives who
- 59:12are gas lit, MPC folks. So stop being gas lit by moron.
- 59:15Stop turning out, chuckling and collapsing.
- 59:18Arianism and work a little harder.
- 59:20There are people out there who aren't leaders, but also aren't
- 59:22doormats either. They are like you, without hope.
- 59:25They are looking for someone to provide the direction, the
- 59:27activation energy to see some hope.
- 59:29Calling them sheep is to say they are irredeemable.
- 59:32We've all been abused by these psychotic alphas.
- 59:34Having empathy, not derision, for that abuse is the first step
- 59:37towards making things better. But if this makes me naive or a
- 59:41hopeless romantic in your eyes, I would tell you.
- 59:43Maybe that mirror you're holding up to me should be turned
- 59:45around. Ask yourself where the impulse
- 59:47to. Raid potential allies we really
- 59:49come from because that whole idea of people loving their
- 59:52misery because it's comfortable takes many, many forms.
- 59:54All of them are toxic. All of them.
- 59:56So yes, I'm not just standing up for my idea of people being
- 59:59comfortable wools, I'm doubling down.
- 1:00:01This is your call to action. Embrace it or remain in the
- 1:00:04service of those you profess to hate.
- 1:00:07Bars. Bars.
- 1:00:08And I want to say I want to, I want to like, interject.
- 1:00:11Like right. Quick, right, like it.
- 1:00:12That doesn't apply to any type of political philosophy, right?
- 1:00:17It's not, it's not a left or right thing, right?
- 1:00:20You know, I know he framed it in that way, like, you know, where
- 1:00:22he made the comment about the, you know, the the the certain
- 1:00:26political ideology. But it just it just applies
- 1:00:29like, do you want to live a life of proof of work or do you want
- 1:00:32to live a life where you depend on another person?
- 1:00:36That's really, really the big question, right?
- 1:00:38And look, there's going to be a fundamental conflict between,
- 1:00:43you know, there's going to be a clash, right?
- 1:00:44There's going to be a clash between these two types of
- 1:00:47philosophies. Because at the end of the day,
- 1:00:50look, if we do migrate to, you know, a Bitcoin standard, you
- 1:00:55know, the ability to print money to pay for things is going to be
- 1:01:00gone, right? So a lot of the things that have
- 1:01:02been given out, a lot of the things that have been promised
- 1:01:05to people, but nobody truly could afford those things, go
- 1:01:10away under a Bitcoin standard. So I think that we're heading
- 1:01:13into an era where if you take personal responsibility over
- 1:01:16your life, you will never, I don't think we've ever lived in
- 1:01:20an era with with that much opportunity, that much ability
- 1:01:24to prosper. But it does take personal
- 1:01:27responsibility, whether that's the personal responsibility of
- 1:01:29the storage of your wealth or the personal responsibility of
- 1:01:33seeking how seeking your own information sources rather than
- 1:01:36relying on a few legacy media corporate channels.
- 1:01:40See a personal responsibility of your health over over what you
- 1:01:43eat. It applies to all of these
- 1:01:45things, right? So don't get stuck in the left
- 1:01:49right dichotomy, which I truly believe is there on purpose to
- 1:01:52divide and conquer the populace has nothing to do with that.
- 1:01:56It's truly the party of green. The party of nihilism, poverty,
- 1:01:59despair, central bank, digital currencies, slavery or beauty of
- 1:02:03beauty, onset it. Death versus the party of
- 1:02:06Bitcoin. The party of peace, prosperity,
- 1:02:08opportunity, Optimism. There's a reason that Opti's
- 1:02:12name is Optimist Fields, right? So you have to decide as an
- 1:02:17individual, don't get stuck in the left and right bullshit.
- 1:02:20It is literally distraction. It's party of Green versus Party
- 1:02:23of Orange. I just want to say that that
- 1:02:25was. Great context because it I
- 1:02:26really just wanted to kind of spread that idea of the signal
- 1:02:31of like comfortable wolves. I think it's such good framing
- 1:02:34that you know people are lulled to sleep right now.
- 1:02:38Whether it doesn't matter where it's from, it's like there has
- 1:02:41been a a direct attack on the human.
- 1:02:46For for too long. And now we are getting to a
- 1:02:49point where it's like sink or swim, where you have no choice
- 1:02:53in the matter. It's like, well, you do have a
- 1:02:55choice actually, but like we know where it's headed.
- 1:02:58It's heading towards a dystopian, tyrannical future,
- 1:03:01you know, controlled by the same psychopaths that got us into
- 1:03:03this position and or a world of people like you that are
- 1:03:08individuals that want to just live, live a good life, provide
- 1:03:11for their family, provide value, do something good and leave a
- 1:03:14better plan. In it.
- 1:03:15And to me, This is why we have dedicated our whole lives to
- 1:03:18this, because it really is Bitcoin or slavery.
- 1:03:21Bitcoin or death. Like Bitcoin is hope.
- 1:03:23Bitcoin's giving me a New Hope. And I really do think that more
- 1:03:26people are waking up to this. Like there are a bunch of
- 1:03:29comfortable wolves out there. They are just, they.
- 1:03:32They just need a little more comfort to take away, be taken
- 1:03:35away. And it's being taken away in
- 1:03:37real time. And so hey, you woke up before
- 1:03:39them. So be a Good Shepherd.
- 1:03:41Be a positive voice in your community.
- 1:03:43Be a positive voice on Twitter. Because there's more people that
- 1:03:46want hope, that need hope and that are looking for a better
- 1:03:49alternative. But we're we're all getting
- 1:03:51caught up in this black pill. Like, ah, the the future is
- 1:03:54going to be worse than it is today.
- 1:03:55Like there's no hope. And I remember when I was
- 1:03:58hopeless and then I found Bitcoin and now I wake up every
- 1:04:01single day and just like, all right, we're winning.
- 1:04:03We're constantly winning. So just spread that signal guys.
- 1:04:06There's more people like you out there and they're waking up
- 1:04:09every single day. It is not left first, right.
- 1:04:11It is orange verse green. And we are, absolutely.
- 1:04:15Winning guys, so just just just keep it going, man.
- 1:04:18I don't know. I don't know what else to add to
- 1:04:20this. Yeah man, it's it's truly that.
- 1:04:24But just stay. Stay on the mission.
- 1:04:27We were going to win this thing. It's inevitable.
- 1:04:29The incentives are on the on our side and the only thing they
- 1:04:32truly have left is coercion. Anyways, guys, it's the moment
- 1:04:36you've been waiting for. It's the best part of the show.
- 1:04:38Time to review some memes. The Daily Meme Review brought to

- 1:06:21All right, guys. Anyways, Tweets are the bullets.
- 1:06:24Memes are the artillery. As you can tell, we are in an
- 1:06:26information war. And it's never been clear that
- 1:06:30we have the truth on our side. So just continue to plant the
- 1:06:33flag, spread the signal and get more people to ask a very simple
- 1:06:37question, what is money and what the hell is going on in the
- 1:06:40world right now? And why is the money printer the
- 1:06:43root of all the problems? Anyways, first name is by our
- 1:06:46boy, the BTC therapist. BTC therapist, sorry.
- 1:06:49And he goes describe your life in one photo here, I'll start
- 1:06:52hashtag BTC and it goes normal. People investing in bonds and
- 1:06:55real estate and stocks and it's different colored buttons.
- 1:06:57And then. And me, Just a bunch of Bitcoin
- 1:07:00buttons and we just keep stacking and pressing the
- 1:07:03Bitcoin buttons. This is the way.
- 1:07:05It's not financial advice, but go on Bitcoin.
- 1:07:07All right. Anyways, Max me is by Maxy's
- 1:07:10Club 518 Grandpa, and we got a future bitcoiner here.
- 1:07:15You know your future progeny here, and it's a mother.
- 1:07:19Maybe it'll be your daughter. Your daughter's children, your
- 1:07:24grandchildren. So there's a grandchildren
- 1:07:26talking to their mother. And it goes, son, you can't
- 1:07:29spend all day talking about Bitcoin.
- 1:07:31And he goes, what would your grandpa say?
- 1:07:33And here's like a little little thought bubble of your grandpa.
- 1:07:36And he goes, don't let them take your freedom through a CBDC.
- 1:07:39So we'd constantly be talking about Bitcoin.
- 1:07:42Go forth and spread the Bitcoin signal.
- 1:07:44OK, and this next one, actually the next series of memes?
- 1:07:47Is all about the the alien from the Mexico Congress.

- 1:07:58There's so many, there's so many memes, like a little lizard.
- 1:08:02There's something memes on Twitter.
