- 0:00Well, we told you this was coming and would you look at
- 0:02that? Do you see that?
- 0:04That's not Bitcoin, that's not a shit coin.
- 0:07That's not even a meme stock. That, my friends, is the US
- 0:11dollar collapsing for 12 months plus the US dollar has been in a
- 0:16decline, falling 10% in 2025 in its worst year since 2017.
- 0:23So when you see this or this or even this, understand it's all a
- 0:30lie, but not for the reasons you might think.
- 0:33These things aren't necessarily gaining value.
- 0:36The dollar is losing value. It's collapsing and the pace is
- 0:41accelerating. We're witnessing the death of
- 0:43the dollar, not the growth of the economy.
- 0:46We also may have got the go for lift off.
- 0:48Ladies and gentlemen, Bitcoin is about to go nuclear in the
- 0:52entire world. We'll be watching, not doomsday
- 0:56is upon us. And that also means the
- 1:00opportunity in the arbitrage of the century are here as well.
- 1:05It doesn't matter whether this is intentional or not because
- 1:10the ending is the same. Bitcoin rips the tits off
- 1:14everything and goes nuclear. We have a massive show today so
- 1:18strap in and prepare for lift off.
- 1:20It's go time standard. Mr. President, with the current
- 1:27value of the dollar, do you think it's declined too much?
- 1:30No, I think it's great. I mean the value of the dollar,
- 1:32look at the business we're doing.
- 1:34No, that was, that was doing great.
- 1:37You know, it's very interesting. If you look at China and Japan,
- 1:40I used to fight like hell with them because they always wanted
- 1:43to devalue their yen, you know that the yen and the Wan and
- 1:47they'd always want to devalue it.
- 1:48They devalue, devalue, devalue. And I said not fair that you
- 1:52devalue because it's hard to compete when they devalue.
- 1:55But they always fought. No, our dollar is very good.
- 2:01It listen, it is what it is. And and this is so bullish for
- 2:04Bitcoin. They're going to have to print
- 2:06so much money. They're going to have to Bitcoin
- 2:09is really priced with how much Fiat currency is sloshing around
- 2:13in the world. And in order for all of this to
- 2:16play out and work, we have to debase our currency, we have to
- 2:20devalue our debt, and we have to create more Fiat.
- 2:25It's going to send Bitcoin nuclear.
- 2:27Let's talk about the US dollar, because what happened yesterday
- 2:32was not an accident. The most revealing part?
- 2:35President Trump didn't even defend the dollar.
- 2:37He welcomed its weakness. And that matters.
- 2:41Objectively, the US dollar just logged its worst year in eight
- 2:45years. Trump sees the dollar as a
- 2:47yo-yo, something he can swing up or down at will.
- 2:50A quiet admission that this isn't out of control.
- 2:54It's more like a controlled demolition.
- 2:57So ask yourself, if he can strengthen the dollar whenever
- 3:00he wants, why didn't he? Well, because a weaker dollar
- 3:05does the job. It means lower rates, it means
- 3:08stronger exports. It means shrinking trade
- 3:11deficits. It means higher nominal GDP.
- 3:15And most importantly for us, it means higher asset prices.
- 3:19Stocks, real estate, hard assets.
- 3:21Big point. So no, what we saw yesterday
- 3:24wasn't noise. It wasn't a mistake, it wasn't
- 3:28panic. It was a signal.
- 3:30And once you see it, you can't Unsee it.
- 3:33For over a year now, the US dollar has been bleeding 12 plus
- 3:37months of steady decline again, down 10% in 2025 alone.
- 3:41It's the worst year since 2017. Trump said the value of the
- 3:46dollar is great. That's it.
- 3:47And the market heard it loud and clear.
- 3:50Immediately. The dollar dropped another 1%,
- 3:53crashing to its lowest level since February 2022.
- 3:57It was a signal that the White House is comfortable with a
- 4:00weaker dollar, and it means economic stimulus without saying
- 4:04the word QE. This is policy.
- 4:07And if you're still sitting in cash hoping this reverses bad
- 4:11news, the message is simple now. Own assets or get left behind.
- 4:16Don't take it from me, just listen to Ray Dalio.
- 4:19When we look at the prices of things through the lens of the
- 4:24value of money, they go up OK, because the value, because the
- 4:29value of money goes down. When the value of money goes
- 4:33down, it goes up so very much. It's very interesting to me when
- 4:39you see like people looking at things, think about it that the
- 4:44currency that you're looking through, whatever you, I'm sure
- 4:47there are a bunch of different currencies and countries that
- 4:50you're in. If you were in Switzerland and
- 4:53you're looking at the returns of American stocks and bonds, it
- 4:57would look very different than if you were an American looking
- 5:01through dollar lens and so on because of the magnitudes of
- 5:05movements. So for example, last year,
- 5:08American stock market, American markets significantly
- 5:12underperformed foreign markets and people don't quite realize
- 5:16that. And the best asset class in the
- 5:18sense was gold because, but think of that as being the
- 5:22money. So in answer to your question,
- 5:25OK, I've, I've learned that was a lesson.
- 5:28I learned that if there's a depreciation in the value of
- 5:32money, it makes everything look like it's going up and so on,
- 5:36and there's also a stimulation that comes from that.
- 5:39And here's billionaire investor Ron Baron explaining the silent
- 5:43math that's destroying your wealth.
- 5:46What happened if the value for money falls and falls 4 or 5% a
- 5:50year, that's inflation, both 4 or 5% a year in the economic
- 5:53growth has been about 2% a year. So it's about 7% a year growth.
- 5:58And that means everything double s in 10 years.
- 6:00The value for money falls in half every 15 years.
- 6:03So you got to make twice what you're making today in 15 years
- 6:07to stay even. And so stock market, you know,
- 6:10so bitcoins been amazing, obviously.
- 6:13Here's the breakdown. Fiat confidence eroding, Not
- 6:17just the dollar. The fundamental issue isn't that
- 6:19the US currency is being replaced.
- 6:22It's that trust in all heavy indebted Fiat systems is
- 6:25evaporating. Central banks are buying gold
- 6:28fast. Reserve managers around the
- 6:30world are shifting away from developed market bonds,
- 6:33including US, European and Japanese debt, and loading up on
- 6:38gold. That's because gold doesn't owe
- 6:40anything to anyone and can't be diluted by monetary policy.
- 6:43Sound familiar? There's a better version.
- 6:46It's called Bitcoin. But this is not Fiat swap de
- 6:49dollarization because, well, if there was a real shift into a
- 6:53competing currency, euro, yen, yuan, we'd see data showing
- 6:57that. But dollar reserve share remains
- 6:59dominant and stable. Once you strip out valuation
- 7:02effects, no other Fiat is coming close.
- 7:05In a stable full of ugly pigs, it's the only one wearing
- 7:09lipstick. The dollar still rules global
- 7:12finance. It's still used in roughly 90%
- 7:14of forex transactions and around half of the SWIFT payments
- 7:18globally, far more than any alternative currency.
- 7:21So what's really going on? The world is punishing debt and
- 7:25Fiat promise, not the US dollar. Specific governments want cheap
- 7:29financing, persistent deficits, and inflation friendly policy,
- 7:33but the confidence cost of that is rising.
- 7:36The system isn't moving from dollar hegemony to yuan
- 7:39hegemony, it's moving toward gold and hard money as the
- 7:42ultimate reserve asset. No government actually wants a
- 7:47strong currency because it puts them at a disadvantage.
- 7:50Strong currency limits their ability to inflate and spend,
- 7:54which those two things together basically like heroin for our
- 7:58government. And they got the itch.
- 8:00Now how much demand does all this create for Bitcoin?
- 8:06Well, the end of Keynesian paper promises looks to be fuel for
- 8:09what this ETF issuer just said on Bloomberg. 97 trillion of
- 8:14potential demand and $1,000,000 Bitcoin within the decade
- 8:18rolling. If you look at, if you look at
- 8:20the Wall Street in terms of $100 trillion, about $3 trillion has
- 8:25come into the crypto space. So essentially you have, you
- 8:28have 97 million, $97 trillion that are still sitting there.
- 8:33And there's a good chunk of that money that's going to continue
- 8:36to migrate into, into the crypto space.
- 8:39So I think they, they're the Bitcoin hesitant and, and
- 8:43actually the third wave, I, I see the first two waves as, as
- 8:47being the unregulated wave, the regulated wave.
- 8:49And now that third wave is the, the Bitcoin hesitant, which I
- 8:52think a majority of those happen to be financial advisors who
- 8:56take a little bit longer to warm up to a new asset class, but
- 8:59they're gatekeepers of 30 trillion in assets.
- 9:01So I think from a fiduciary risk standpoint and helping clients
- 9:05get in for the long run, we, we believe Bitcoin's headed to
- 9:09$1,000,000 over the next decade. So that's the long term play we
- 9:13want. We want our shareholders to be
- 9:15able to take part in that. And we think giving them the the
- 9:18S&P base is the smart play to do that.
- 9:23That's still bearish if you ask me.
- 9:24But now another question here. With this all being done with
- 9:28intent, what is the end game? Could we be looking at a New
- 9:31Britain Woods Amar, a Lago Accords, if you will?
- 9:35Well, let's see what Larry Leopard has to say about it.
- 9:38But before we do, look at our likes 3 or 4.
- 9:41Times maybe? I pump those numbers up.
- 9:43Those are rookie numbers in this racket.

- 10:57other pods is that Trump and, or beset, you know, do do something
- 11:02really, really bold, which is to try and do a monetary reset.
- 11:07And I, you know, I don't know if they have the political space.
- 11:09I don't know if they have the guts.
- 11:11But you know, we could theoretically skip the, you
- 11:14know, let's go to super high inflation.
- 11:15The country tears itself apart and currency fails by, you know,
- 11:19besent waking up 1 morning and saying and Trump's and saying
- 11:23we're going to revalue gold at $30,000.
- 11:25We're going to revalue Bitcoin at $1,000,000 coin.
- 11:28And you know, the government will now exchange your dollars
- 11:32for either of those two things. Bring us $1,000,000.
- 11:34We'll give you a Bitcoin, bring us your ounce of gold, we'll
- 11:37give you 25,000 or you know, give us 25,000.
- 11:40We'll give you an ounce of gold. And we are now on a sound money
- 11:42standard period and you know, 1971 gone, done.
- 11:47Oh, and by the way, we're going to balance, you know, we're
- 11:48going to balance the budget by, you know, basically cutting
- 11:51expenses here and there. And, you know, the TGA would be
- 11:54revalued and that markup of the TGA would be used to pay down
- 11:57the government debt. I mean, if they did that, it
- 12:00would be enormously painful for bondholders.
- 12:02It would be enormously one time inflationary, but it would, you
- 12:06know, so it's like ripping off the band.
- 12:07It would hurt like shit, but you know, on a go forward basis we
- 12:11would actually have a sound money solution.
- 12:14Now you know, that's my 10% case because I just, I don't know
- 12:19that they'll have the guts to do it.
- 12:21And we're at that point in gold now.
- 12:23I'm not saying bitcoins about to shoot up.
- 12:26I do think 2026 is going to be a good year 'cause I think they're
- 12:28going to have to print the money and again, when they actually
- 12:31print the money is when Bitcoin goes gold always front runs the
- 12:35money printing Bitcoin outperforms it when they
- 12:38actually print it and that is made.
- 12:41This case is made like again with this slide and you know,
- 12:45these charts I got from Twitter, so shout out to their authors,
- 12:47but this slide titled the liquidity Cometh.
- 12:53What are we looking at? We're looking at the RSI at the
- 12:56very bottom, those green and red, OK, That is the US 10 year
- 12:59multiplied by the Chinese 10 year.
- 13:02And what that is saying is this is basically indicating when
- 13:05liquidity is tight from nation states versus when liquidity is
- 13:09abundant when they're printing a lot of money and it just crossed
- 13:12up where they're about to start printing a lot of money.
- 13:16What do what do I mean by that? Quantitative tightening is
- 13:18ending. We know QE either is about to
- 13:22start or has started. It depends what you count the
- 13:25Fed doing today, but we're about to enter a pro liquidity cycle.
- 13:29We know the Fed's balance sheet went from $9 trillion to $6
- 13:32trillion. And I think not only is it going
- 13:35to go up again, but it's going to go from around $6 trillion
- 13:38and make new all time highs and exceed 9 trillion.
- 13:40I think they're going to have to print an AN ungodly amount of
- 13:44money. We know Trump has not only not
- 13:47reduced the budget, but he wants to grow our defense budget by,
- 13:51you know, he wants to take it from a trillion to 1.5 trillion.
- 13:54We know the true interest expense is greater than our
- 13:56receipts. I mean, we have all sorts of
- 13:57problems, but every single time this liquidity marker starts to
- 14:03break up, Bitcoin goes on a tear.
- 14:05Why? Well, because they're actually
- 14:07printing money. They're not talking about
- 14:08printing money. They're not forecasting printing
- 14:11money. They're actually expanding the
- 14:13balance sheets. That's just happening.
- 14:16So to me, the combination of, OK, we've been a in a gold bear
- 14:20market for a little over a year, OK, they're about to start
- 14:23printing money. And you, you, you pair that with
- 14:27the fact that like globalism, according to the United States
- 14:30is dead, which means the current version of the US dollar and the
- 14:34world reserve currency is over. It's dead.
- 14:37So what did we learn? Well we learned this isn't the
- 14:41actual doomsday clock. This is and nothing stops this
- 14:45train. I agree with Mahler's. 2026
- 14:48looks to be like an explosive year for bitcoins.
- 14:51So which way Western man, the basement or Valhalla you choose?
- 14:57And the possibility of World War 3 is higher than ever.
