INSIDER Reveals The Wall St playbook for Bitcoin in 2026 | EP 1401 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:00
  2025 is coming to an end and most people think it's been a
• 0:04
  complete write off. Confirming 2026 will be a bear
• 0:09
  market for Bitcoin as well, but a massive multi $100 billion
• 0:14
  firm just released a report that you do need to see.
• 0:18
  Bitwise just made five Bitcoin predictions that they expect to
• 0:22
  happen in 2026, and they may have given us a clue as to what
• 0:26
  Wall Street is preparing for. And the short of big guys is it
• 0:31
  is pretty bullish like it. It is a great, great read,
• 0:35
  though I will have to caveat a little bit of it before you guys
• 0:38
  throw tomatoes at me. There is a bit of all right
• 0:43
  story there, there's a bit of altcoin related stuff, which is
• 0:46
  why I said 5 Bitcoin predictions it's really 10 crypto
• 0:50
  predictions, but I'm only going to cover the ones that that
• 0:53
  actually matter here in my opinion.
• 0:55
  So here we go here is the, you know their kind of breakdown of
• 1:00
  it, the year ahead, 10 crypto gross prediction for 2026.
• 1:05
  So I'm going to cover the five ones that actually relate to
• 1:09
  Bitcoin 'cause that's all that really matter.
• 1:11
  That's the only thing that really there's obviously Bitwise
• 1:13
  this year has kind of gone. They are like very pro Bitcoin.
• 1:19
  As the year progressed, they did kind of go a little more again.
• 1:22
  Hold on, let me see where I'm at.
• 1:24
  OK, They did go a little more altcoin Y crypto towards the end
• 1:27
  of the year, but I guess you know kind of something you'd
• 1:32
  expect anyways. Here is the breakdown of course,
• 1:37
  predictions for 2026. I just want to read one thing
• 1:41
  here, which is basically the theme of the whole kind of
• 1:46
  report there. The predictions for this for
• 1:48
  next year is they think the bulls are going to win out in
• 1:51
  2026. The prevailing positive trend
• 1:54
  from institutional adoption to regulatory progress appear too
• 1:57
  strong and too far reaching to be subdued for long, which is
• 2:02
  kind of something that I've been saying again, I've been very
• 2:05
  honest on the show. I have been confirmed bias for
• 2:07
  you guys here. I have been, you know, talking
• 2:10
  in my book here, I'm convinced that 2026 is probably going to
• 2:14
  be a little different than 2025. And by that I mean, it's not
• 2:17
  going to be a negative year. Now, I know Nico's been saying
• 2:20
  it's we might be an unprecedented uncharted waters.
• 2:23
  2026 might also be down. You know, his infamous 30K
• 2:27
  prediction, which I think is absolute trash.
• 2:30
  But you know that that's what makes the show a little spicy is
• 2:33
  us not agreeing. OK, let's go into the first one,
• 2:36
  which is kind of the prevailing trend right now.
• 2:41
  You know, I, I was out here saying that I think the four
• 2:44
  year cycle is over. You've been seeing me and Nico
• 2:47
  on the show argue whether the four year cycle is in place,
• 2:49
  whether it's not kind of debating what even the four year
• 2:54
  cycle means, because I think that's kind of where all of the
• 2:58
  the arguments are coming from. You know, on the one hand, if
• 3:02
  you're saying the four year cycle is 18 months after the
• 3:05
  halving, we see the top that played out.
• 3:07
  If you're saying the halving cycle is 3 green, one red, Well,
• 3:10
  obviously this year's been a wash.
• 3:12
  The, you know, bitcoins last year, it's pretty much in the
• 3:15
  box. Obviously there's still some
• 3:17
  time left in the year, but at this point, unless something
• 3:22
  really crazy happens, I don't think we can I don't think we
• 3:27
  can be admit that we might see some positive action here and I
• 3:31
  I think this year's a wash. Let's you know, let's just rack
• 3:34
  it up as a wash. Look, I'll take the L if things
• 3:37
  change, but as of now, let let's just kind of lock in like let's
• 3:41
  put 2025 behind us and just go to 2026.
• 3:43
  Let's let's just see if 2026 is going to be different.
• 3:46
  So anyways, this one goes Bitcoin will break the four year
• 3:49
  cycle and set new all time highs.
• 3:51
  Hey, you know me. No shit yeah, you know you know
• 3:55
  me. Hey, I I am the hopium dealer,
• 3:58
  the reigning hopium dealer here on simply so no, but there's I
• 4:00
  do agree new. All time highs.
• 4:02
  I thought it would just break the cycle.
• 4:04
  No, no new all time highs, no new all time highs in 2026.
• 4:08
  So not necessarily what everyone's saying, but again, I
• 4:12
  am in good company here guys. You know at first, as I've been
• 4:15
  telling you, it was just kind of like a gut feeling, gut level.
• 4:19
  I was, I was just saying, dude, 2026 is going to be bullish.
• 4:24
  And then more and more people came out and I have a lot of
• 4:26
  good people, you know, in company here.
• 4:28
  It's like Lynn Alden's kind of saying it, sailors saying
• 4:31
  something similar. Obviously the bankers and
• 4:34
  institutions are kind of saying the same thing.
• 4:36
  Wall Street's getting bullish. Now.
• 4:38
  The Wall Street part is kind of icky, but you know, I got some
• 4:40
  good bit corners on my side here, so I'll take that.
• 4:44
  Probably the majority of people are thinking 2026 is going to be
• 4:47
  a wash. So you guys know me, I'm a huge
• 4:50
  Pareto principal guy and I was joking this morning with Sal, my
• 4:55
  trainer and I'm like, you know, I was feeling very good about
• 4:59
  this idea that the four year cycle was going to break.
• 5:01
  And then I kind of realized that like 80% of the influencers are
• 5:04
  agreeing with me. So it makes me feel like I'm in
• 5:07
  the wrong here. I like to be in the 20%, but the
• 5:10
  majority of people are probably like, it's over for Bitcoin.
• 5:13
  So I might be safe here. I might be safe.
• 5:15
  Anyway, let's break this down a little bit.
• 5:17
  Just going to kind of I'm not going to read again.
• 5:19
  I'm, I'm going to kind of glaze over this guys like you guys can
• 5:22
  read the whole full report. I'm going to just kind of pick a
• 5:24
  little bit of this to kind of back up what these predictions
• 5:27
  are based on. So Bitcoin has historically
• 5:30
  moved in four year cycles with three significant up years
• 5:32
  followed by a sharp pullback year.
• 5:34
  So at least they define what the four year cycle is in this
• 5:37
  regard. I think we're, I think we can be
• 5:40
  all in agreement that the four year cycle is broken.
• 5:42
  All our models are broken this year.
• 5:44
  You know, we did not see 3 green, one red, it is 2 green,
• 5:49
  one red. And who knows what's going to
• 5:50
  happen next year. Obviously it'll be unprecedented
• 5:54
  if we had two red years, especially when the institutions
• 5:57
  are fully coming in. So I I'm still, I'm still on the
• 6:01
  hey, we're going to go up in 2026.
• 6:03
  Anyways, here is their factors and why they don't see that
• 6:08
  happening, AKA 2026 bear market. And it goes in our view the
• 6:11
  forces that previously drove for your cycles, the Bitcoin having
• 6:15
  interest rate cycles, excuse me, and cryptos leverage fueled boom
• 6:19
  and bust are significantly weaker than they've been in past
• 6:22
  cycles, which is what I was saying yesterday.
• 6:25
  Obviously a lot of bit corners have always said the four year
• 6:27
  cycle is driven by the halving. But by definition, the halving
• 6:32
  every four years essentially cuts itself in half And so it's
• 6:36
  half as effective as it was in the past.
• 6:39
  More importantly, we believe the wave of institutional capital
• 6:42
  that be entering the space with the approval of the ETFs in 2024
• 6:46
  accelerate in 2026 and they they expect the combination of all
• 6:51
  these factors to push Bitcoin to a new all time high, basically
• 6:54
  destroying the four year cycle. And I'm all for destroying the
• 6:57
  four year cycle at this point, because you know, it wasn't it
• 7:00
  wasn't good this year. All right, I've I've been, you
• 7:05
  know, blue balled all year long. It's been boring stablecoin.
• 7:09
  You know, Bitcoin is our stablecoin.
• 7:11
  It's just, it's been a lost year.
• 7:13
  It's it's been a lost of a year. It is what it is.
• 7:15
  It that that's where we are. Look, I'm, I'm packing it in
• 7:18
  already, guys. Look, I know you guys know me as
• 7:20
  the most bullish guy on the show besides maybe Luke, but I'm
• 7:24
  packing it in for 2025. It's over.
• 7:26
  It's it's officially done. 2025 is, is in the books.
• 7:29
  OK? I don't think we're going to see
• 7:31
  crazy action by the end of the year.
• 7:34
  Maybe after the 26th we might see some stuff, but Christmas
• 7:38
  rally, Santa rally is no longer in play.
• 7:41
  I think it's a wash guys. May maybe we get to the price
• 7:45
  has been getting a little frothy, but.
• 7:47
  I don't know Santa Rally, but aren't we waiting for contracts
• 7:52
  to expire? Yeah, yeah, the 26th, that's
• 7:54
  what I'm saying. After Santa comes and delivers
• 7:57
  us some some coal, we can potentially start to reset the,
• 8:03
  you know, the chess board here. So maybe maybe the end of the
• 8:07
  year we start or end of this month we start seeing some
• 8:09
  action, but. I mean, it might set us up for a
• 8:13
  beautiful new year. I dude, I am, I'm locking in for
• 8:16
  2026. I'm locking in for 2026 right
• 8:19
  now. I'm starting early.
• 8:20
  You know, New Year's resolution is now you can't start your New
• 8:23
  Year's resolution on New Year's 'cause that's not how it works.
• 8:26
  You got to lock in before. OK, Anyways, next one, their
• 8:29
  next prediction that Bitcoin will be less volatile than
• 8:31
  NVIDIA. Now this is where a lot of
• 8:34
  people that come into Bitcoin and they always say the same
• 8:36
  thing like, oh, I thought Bitcoin is money.
• 8:38
  It's too volatile. I would never throw my wealth
• 8:41
  into Bitcoin. It's it's too volatile.
• 8:43
  Well, the data for this year is very interesting.
• 8:46
  It is literally already been less volatile than NVIDIA stock.
• 8:50
  So it's already less volatile than some of the stuff that
• 8:53
  people already have gone all in on.
• 8:55
  So that's the data for 2025. And they're expecting that that
• 8:59
  that will also kind of decrease moving forward.
• 9:02
  That's kind of like the prevailing narrative we've all
• 9:04
  been seeing for a while that Bitcoin is quote becoming de
• 9:07
  risk as we speak. It's never been easier.
• 9:10
  It's never been more accepted to embrace or save in Bitcoin,
• 9:15
  invest in Bitcoin. That's just what the data is
• 9:18
  showing you. And here here's kind of a chart
• 9:20
  here, volatility, Bitcoin versus NVIDIA.
• 9:23
  You can see Bitcoin volatility is less than NVIDIA.
• 9:26
  And if we're being honest, the AI stocks right now are
• 9:30
  basically the only thing that's driving the entire economy right
• 9:33
  now. So you know, Bitcoin is less
• 9:35
  volatile than NVIDIA already. They're kind of expecting this
• 9:38
  to go down, which on the one hand, if things play out very
• 9:43
  similar, they might be right. But I, I need, I need volatility
• 9:48
  to the upside. I need volatility back in my
• 9:50
  life. This being a stable coin has not
• 9:53
  been fun, though. It is something that Sailor's
• 9:55
  been saying. And I think Sailor's an
• 9:57
  interesting example right now because of kind of how bullish
• 10:01
  he's been and his actions right now stacking so much Bitcoin, it
• 10:06
  really makes you wonder, does Sailor have some asymmetric
• 10:09
  knowledge right now? Does he know something is
• 10:11
  happening? Is this why he's stacking so
• 10:14
  much coin? Because there was about like a
• 10:16
  3-4 months period where Saylor wasn't really able to buy that
• 10:20
  much Bitcoin. It was they were doing like it's
• 10:23
  still a lot They were doing like, you know, 100 million buys
• 10:26
  and we're like, oh, he's running out of powder.
• 10:28
  He's running the steam is running out.
• 10:30
  And then I don't know if you guys saw the data this morning,
• 10:33
  Chef said the Daniel Prince, but he did a good graphic just
• 10:38
  showing he didn't have strategy in there.
• 10:40
  But every Bitcoin treasury company is down basically on
• 10:45
  average 90%, which is absolutely insane right now.
• 10:49
  So yeah, just straight up wrecked out there.
• 10:52
  But Sailor's been saying this for a while that he expects with
• 10:57
  more people coming into Bitcoin, more institutions coming into
• 11:00
  Bitcoin, basically the Wall Street embrace of Bitcoin, the
• 11:03
  volatility is going to go down. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of
• 11:07
  this prediction. You this this one's probably my
• 11:10
  least favorite one here, but let's keep it moving, OK, The
• 11:13
  next one and again, some of these it's it's going to start
• 11:16
  to get a little shit Coiny here. So I'm going to skip over those
• 11:19
  ones. But this, this one is one of the
• 11:21
  main points I've been saying for the for the last couple of days,
• 11:24
  weeks basically. So ETFs will purchase more than
• 11:27
  100% of the new supply of Bitcoin as institutional demand
• 11:32
  accelerates. Now, there is some interesting
• 11:34
  little metrics in here since the crypto ETFs launch in 2024.
• 11:38
  We've been right. For instance, since the debut of
• 11:41
  Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, these ETFs have bought 710,777
• 11:50
  Bitcoin, and over the same time frame, the Bitcoin network has
• 11:54
  produced just 363,000 and 47 new Bitcoin.
• 11:59
  Again, you can have a 42 IQ and look at this and be like they're
• 12:03
  buying way more or quote buying way more Bitcoin than the
• 12:07
  Bitcoin network is releasing. And as we've been covering, it
• 12:11
  does seem like the whales are starting to acquire some
• 12:14
  Bitcoin. I just saw a number this morning
• 12:16
  that whales in the basically the last, you know, couple of days,
• 12:21
  I think it was the last 30 days have bought like 30,000 coins.
• 12:23
  So even though they basically sold 4 million, which is which
• 12:27
  is a way obviously a way bigger number, they are starting to
• 12:30
  accumulate again, which I think is why we're seeing the Bitcoin
• 12:34
  price be a little frothy right now.
• 12:36
  Again, the nine AM 10 AM market action right now is really
• 12:41
  interesting. It does look like whoever has
• 12:44
  been manipulating, I think we've all thought of it as James
• 12:47
  Street. I think they I think they
• 12:49
  delayed their their sell, their sell, you know, their sell off
• 12:53
  because it pumps at market and then 30 minutes later it
• 12:57
  absolutely just fully retraces. So I I like, I like what Bitcoin
• 13:02
  news said this morning. It's we're we're seeing a new
• 13:05
  pattern. It's called the twin towers
• 13:07
  trading pattern because it's just one straight and 1
• 13:11
  completely down. Hey, that's what's going on
• 13:14
  right now. All right, let's, let's.
• 13:15
  They couldn't. Call it an Eiffel Tower.
• 13:18
  I mean, it's kind of going. I mean, I mean, we are totally
• 13:22
  getting Eiffel towered right now.
• 13:23
  So yes, what they call it. OK, alright dude, guys, I'm I'm
• 13:30
  totally unhinged today. I'm I'm dying over.
• 13:33
  Here, we're very close to vacation.
• 13:35
  Yeah, I'm I'm not only vacation, I'm very close to just crashing
• 13:38
  out. Very close.
• 13:39
  To vacation next week, you're going to get a lot of me and
• 13:43
  Nico, so. Yeah, I'm, I'm very, I'm very
• 13:45
  close to just straight up crashing out on you guys today.
• 13:48
  So I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold it together.
• 13:50
  I know I'm gonna hold it together.
• 13:52
  I'm gonna hold it together. OK, So go going further, they
• 13:56
  go. We think ETFs will buy more than
• 13:59
  that of each asset, particularly given the recent approval spot
• 14:02
  crypt ETFs for contacts Bitcoin ETFs have already purchased more
• 14:06
  than $22 billion worth of Bitcoin and we can already
• 14:09
  expect that roughly or rather about $15.3 billion of new
• 14:16
  Bitcoin supply will hit the market.
• 14:18
  So obviously this doesn't guarantee that there won't be
• 14:21
  whales that sell Bitcoin. You know, if Bitcoin is
• 14:24
  definitely a supply demand, kind of pure supply demand dynamics
• 14:28
  playing out. But as you start to see and
• 14:32
  understand that this was the first year that most
• 14:34
  institutional capital can get into Bitcoin through these ETFs,
• 14:38
  you could just basically expect that next year that is going to
• 14:41
  increase. So whether that number double s
• 14:44
  even kind of stays the same it it is going to be very
• 14:47
  interesting to see how the supply dynamics play out.
• 14:50
  Now, of course, there is a caveat that like what are they
• 14:53
  actually buying? You know, they're they're
• 14:55
  supposedly buying a ton of Bitcoin, but the Bitcoin price
• 14:58
  hasn't done anything. Are they actually buying
• 15:00
  Bitcoin? Are we seeing another FTX
• 15:01
  scenario play out through BlackRock?
• 15:04
  I don't know if that's what's going on, but the amount of buys
• 15:08
  that I've seen this year that are alleged buys I've seen this
• 15:12
  year makes me wonder what they're actually buying.
• 15:15
  OK. I think we're on an episode of
• 15:17
  Punked at this. Point if you.
• 15:20
  If you keep believing that people like I saw this headline
• 15:23
  the other day on Twitter, Saudi Arabia just bought billions of
• 15:27
  dollars worth of Bitcoin. Like did they?
• 15:29
  Did they? They bought the ETF.
• 15:31
  They bought the ETF. That's crazy though, because the
• 15:33
  ETF is supposed to be spot right?
• 15:36
  So it doesn't that mean that they're supposed to?
• 15:41
  Yeah, they're supposed to be buying Bitcoin.
• 15:44
  OK, so then why are people buying the ETF?
• 15:47
  The ETF isn't going up. You know why it's not going up?
• 15:51
  Because they're not buying actual Bitcoin.
• 15:54
  So like, what is the point of that?
• 15:56
  You're getting the cash, you're getting your trash Fiat.
• 15:59
  Like at least put it into Bitcoin so that it can back up
• 16:03
  the thing that you're selling, which is just paper Bitcoin.
• 16:07
  It's also trash, but they don't even want to do that.
• 16:11
  Like I just don't understand it. I don't understand why these
• 16:15
  people are so hesitant. I I will put it nicely, they're
• 16:21
  just so hesitant to buying Bitcoin when.
• 16:24
  It's when. It's good for them.
• 16:27
  I mean, Bitcoin is for criminals and money launderers, right?
• 16:31
  The bank and whatever. Why like just do it bro just do
• 16:36
  it. Just buy Bitcoin already like
• 16:38
  God. Yeah, yeah.
• 16:42
  I mean, like I said it all year, I, I take back any nice thing I
• 16:49
  said about the institutions buying Bitcoin 'cause I thought
• 16:51
  they would pump our bags and they didn't do that.
• 16:53
  They're they're just here trying to steal your Bitcoin you.
• 16:55
  Know you're not the employee of the month anymore.
• 17:01
  We're taking that title away from you.
• 17:03
  Facts. It's over.
• 17:05
  It's over. And we're giving it back to
• 17:07
  Sailor. No, no, no, not at all.
• 17:10
  I anyway anyway, let's keep this moving.
• 17:14
  Let's keep this moving all right this next one is kind of what
• 17:17
  Sophie was saying. Their next prediction is half of
• 17:20
  Ivy League endowments will invest in and they did use the C
• 17:23
  word crypto. And basically we saw this year,
• 17:26
  you know, Brown University came out, they bought 5 million in
• 17:29
  Bitcoin ETFs. And then we saw that Harvard,
• 17:33
  but basically their biggest holding is Bitcoin.
• 17:36
  Now, obviously Harvard still, it seems like a prestigious
• 17:39
  college. They they still have that kind
• 17:41
  of, you know, authority figure. They're smart, they're one of
• 17:45
  the smartest ones. And they're basically TTLDR is
• 17:49
  if Harvard is allocating to Bitcoin, then everyone else will
• 17:53
  be like, maybe we should too. So they expect that other Ivy
• 17:57
  League schools, other Ivy League endowments will also start to go
• 18:00
  into Bitcoin especially. And their biggest kind of most
• 18:03
  important and maybe less obvious view here is that endowment
• 18:07
  funds, particularly the Ivy League ones, are often
• 18:11
  trendsetters. So are we seeing a trend here
• 18:15
  where everyone starts to wake up to, hey, I need to actually buy
• 18:18
  some Bitcoin? Is Harvard going to be able to
• 18:21
  kind of kick that off? I I think this one might be a, a
• 18:24
  kind of less, less kind of of affected prediction, but this
• 18:30
  one's probably going to hold up and I and I will look at their
• 18:33
  2025 predictions so we can kind of gauge whether any of these
• 18:37
  will come true. OK, moving forward, we got, I
• 18:40
  believe one more. This one's this one's trash
• 18:43
  right here, a bunch of crypto ETFSI think, OK, here we go.
• 18:47
  Bitcoins correlations with stocks will fall.
• 18:51
  Look, one of the things that we've seen this year though,
• 18:54
  their numbers are kind of, you know, a little different.
• 18:57
  They're like they're the data suggesting that Bitcoin isn't
• 19:01
  that correlated with stocks. But as we've seen all year,
• 19:04
  Bitcoin is still kind of treated like a high beta risk on trade
• 19:10
  when NASDAQ drops when SP 500 drops Bitcoin was also dropping
• 19:15
  this year as well. But they go on to say using the
• 19:19
  rolling 90 day correlations, bitcoins correlation with the
• 19:22
  S&P 500 has rarely topped .5 the usual statistical divide lining
• 19:28
  between low and medium correlation.
• 19:30
  Regardless, they think Bitcoins correlations will stocks will be
• 19:33
  lower in 2026 than in 2025. And the reason we expect crypto
• 19:39
  specific factors like regulatory progress and institutional
• 19:42
  adoption to power crypto. I'm going to say Bitcoin even as
• 19:46
  equities struggle with concerns about valuation and short term
• 19:50
  economic growth. So here's a chart here if you
• 19:52
  want to kind of check their data.
• 19:54
  Obviously in the more recent years here, Bitcoin does
• 20:00
  correlate a lot more with the S&P 500, which I think is
• 20:04
  probably kind of explained by the fact that Bitcoin has become
• 20:09
  a macro asset. And people are adding it to
• 20:11
  their portfolios, obviously, they usually get their trade
• 20:15
  signals from like the Fed or what happens in the S&P 500, the
• 20:18
  broader markets. And that's usually why they
• 20:21
  divest out of Bitcoin early. Bitcoin has been the, the
• 20:24
  sniffing indicator here. It, it's basically been sniffing
• 20:28
  out everything in the market before it usually reacts, you
• 20:31
  know, a lot, a lot stronger. But I, I think in the last few
• 20:35
  years, we can all kind of agree objectively there is some
• 20:39
  correlation with stocks. Now, personally, I do believe
• 20:42
  Bitcoin is a risk off asset in the long term.
• 20:45
  It's completely unparalleled, completely uncorrelated with
• 20:49
  traditional, you know, trad FI products.
• 20:52
  But it is currently being kind of treated like just another
• 20:55
  stock. So unless more people start
• 20:57
  waking up to the idea that Bitcoin is completely different,
• 21:01
  I'm not so sure that we are going to completely break that
• 21:04
  correlation, though I would be very happy to see this one play
• 21:07
  out OK moving forward. I believe this is the last one.
• 21:11
  I've already lost count. Oh, that was the last one.
• 21:13
  OK, so here is their scorecard for 2025 predictions.
• 21:18
  And I think here is where we can kind of get an idea of how
• 21:23
  strong these predictions might actually correlate with reality.
• 21:27
  I saw someone in the beginning say, you know, predictions are
• 21:29
  like, you know, like opinions. Everyone has 1.
• 21:32
  So hey, what you know, not saying this is what's going to
• 21:36
  play out, but I think in interesting view of this is what
• 21:39
  I said in the very beginning that seeing what Bitwise is
• 21:42
  saying is probably not necessarily definitive of what
• 21:47
  Wall Street is thinking about Bitcoin.
• 21:49
  But you could argue that these might be some of the frameworks
• 21:53
  that they're kind of thinking through.
• 21:54
  This is kind of the lens that they're viewing what Bitcoin is
• 21:57
  and what it's going to do. So that's why I thought it was
• 22:00
  important to kind of talk about this today.
• 22:02
  So and of course, like 2025, it's a wrap.
• 22:05
  All right, 20/20/25 is over. I know we got what, 1020 days,
• 22:11
  10 days, 15 days, What, 13 days? I don't know.
• 22:14
  Math's hard right now. 1212 OK 12 days 13. 13.
• 22:19
  Yeah, it's dude, we're not going to see the the historic Bitcoin
• 22:23
  rally in the next 10 days. It's, you know, call me a
• 22:26
  Barrow. You want, I'm I'm already
• 22:27
  looking forward to 2026. OK, it is what it is.
• 22:30
  I want to tune out next week. I'm going to go hang out with
• 22:33
  the family for Christmas. Dude, this year's done for me.
• 22:36
  It's a wrap. I had enough.
• 22:38
  I I can't deal with it anymore. OK, but here let's look at their
• 22:41
  predictions from we're. We're finally going to go touch
• 22:44
  some grass, everyone. Yeah, Yeah, exactly.
• 22:46
  Finally touched some grass. OK.
• 22:48
  Yeah. We got spanked.
• 22:49
  Dude, for real. We got cooked.
• 22:51
  We got cooked this year. Yeah.
• 22:52
  Completely clicked. Hey.
• 22:54
  All right. All right.
• 22:55
  OK. All right. 12 days of Bitcoin.
• 22:57
  You know, I do like the the what?
• 22:59
  What are those cartoons? Like the 21 days of Christmas,
• 23:02
  you know, cartoons. No, the animations, you know,
• 23:05
  you know, I I like the correlation.
• 23:07
  So I'll hold out some hope. OK, I'll hold out some hope,
• 23:10
  guys. OK, don't shame me, OK?
• 23:13
  I will hold out hope. Dude, yeah.
• 23:16
  Dude, I'm I'm, I'm on, I'm on fumes here, Bros.
• 23:19
  Like I'm, I'm hold, I'm trying to hold out, but I'm a just, I'm
• 23:23
  cooked today, OK? I'm just the gym's killing me.
• 23:27
  The price is killing me. The news is killing me.
• 23:30
  I'm just I'm done. I'm I'm like I, I had.
• 23:32
  I'm up to my wit's end. All right, guys, You guys can
• 23:35
  shave me all you want, dude, 2026, dude, All right, just I'm
• 23:39
  I'll be vindicating 2026 hopefully, hopefully.
• 23:42
  OK, Just just. Honestly, stop talking.
• 23:48
  OK OK, here's their scorecard for 2025 and their predictions
• 23:52
  in 2025. Their first one was Bitcoin and
• 23:57
  some shit coins will hit new all time highs with Bitcoin trading
• 24:01
  above 200 K. They gave themselves AC.
• 24:03
  It did hit all time high, it just wasn't as bullish.
• 24:06
  So you know they were a little overly bullish which hey, can
• 24:08
  you really blame them? OK, the next one was Bitcoin
• 24:11
  ETFs will attract more flows in 2025 than they did in 2024.
• 24:16
  They gave themselves AD because that was in fact not the case in
• 24:21
  2024. The spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in
• 24:23
  35.4 billion and in 2025 it only pulled in 22.4 billion.
• 24:29
  So there's that one. This one was completely wrong.
• 24:34
  This one was absolutely an F and it says Coinbase will surpass
• 24:38
  Charles Schwab as the most valuable brokerage in the world
• 24:41
  and it's stock will top $700.00 per share.
• 24:45
  Not even close. Coinbase stock was $44.00.
• 24:48
  And this year, if I believe, if I remember correctly, you know,
• 24:52
  Charles Schwab came out and said we, you know, we're going to
• 24:55
  raise Bitcoin, so complete F. And then 2025 will be the year
• 24:59
  of the quote crypto IPO with at least 5 crypto unicorns going
• 25:04
  public in the US. They were actually, you know,
• 25:06
  right about that one. Then this one is just absolutely
• 25:11
  dog shit. Tokens launched by AI agents
• 25:14
  will spearhead a meme coin mania even bigger than in 2024.
• 25:17
  Gave themselves an F Dude, all coins are cooked.
• 25:21
  They're absolutely done. It's over for all coins.
• 25:24
  Do not be buying all coins. I don't know if you guys saw
• 25:26
  this morning or maybe it was last night.
• 25:29
  It was actually last night, but Coinbase announced that you can
• 25:32
  now trade stocks on Coinbase. So they're even.
• 25:36
  Coinbase, the mother of shit coin gambling has kind of thrown
• 25:41
  in the towel on all coins and they're like, OK, look, this all
• 25:44
  coin stuff is no longer profitable.
• 25:46
  Everything's been in the bear market.
• 25:48
  There's not going to be another coin season.
• 25:51
  They're like, let's add stocks, you know, let's add stocks.
• 25:53
  I think I saw another tweet that said something on the lines of
• 25:57
  Robin Hood became Coinbase, Coinbase became Robin Hood.
• 26:01
  And they just, they're all getting wrecked right now.
• 26:04
  And now they're all trying to find a a new business model here
• 26:08
  because you, dude, everything is gambling.
• 26:11
  Every literally everything is gambling right now.
• 26:14
  I still have my predictor, which is that when all of the Bitcoin
• 26:19
  moms give birth, the price is going to go up.
• 26:23
  Well, all right guys, you heard it here first.
• 26:26
  Don't knock it until you see it. It's not.
• 26:28
  We're in the home stretch, so maybe the beginning of 2026
• 26:31
  might be that month for us. All right, boys, you heard it
• 26:36
  here first. We all got to knock up some baby
• 26:38
  Mamas. The The thing is, they they just
• 26:42
  have to be Bitcoin Maxis. That's the only.
• 26:45
  That's that's there's literally like 5 Bitcoin women.
• 26:48
  No, you got to. You got to convert them.
• 26:51
  That's easy. See, I wasn't born a Bitcoin
• 26:53
  maxi. Dude, I, I convert them all all
• 26:58
  right, all right, let's keep going.
• 26:59
  Let's keep going, okay? The number of countries holding
• 27:02
  Bitcoin will double. They gave themselves AC though.
• 27:06
  You know, the US did kind of establish the strategic Bitcoin
• 27:09
  reserve, the United Arab Emirates, Luxembourg, Czech
• 27:12
  Republic, they all did announce some pretty huge Bitcoin moves
• 27:17
  this year. So, you know, close, close, but
• 27:20
  no cigar. And then they give themselves an
• 27:23
  A Coinbase 1 to the S&P 500 and strategy will enter the NASDAQ
• 27:26
  100, adding crypto exposure to nearly every US investor
• 27:30
  portfolios. This in fact, did happen.
• 27:33
  Coinbase is in the S&P 500 since May strategy in the NASDAQ 100
• 27:37
  in December of 2024. And they stayed and you know,
• 27:41
  they're they're not actually going to get delisted.
• 27:43
  So there's that one the US Department of Labor will relax
• 27:47
  it's guidance against crypto and four O 1K plans enabling
• 27:49
  billions of dollars to flow into crypto assets.
• 27:51
  That's an A stablecoin asset will double to 400 billion as
• 27:54
  the US passes long-awaited stablecoin legislation.
• 27:57
  Well, they passed the genius Act so AC but it is it is what it is
• 28:04
  that I don't think they really got the 400 billion by year end.
• 28:08
  close but no cigar, as they said.
• 28:10
  And then these these last one. Let's see the bonus one in 2029,
• 28:14
  Bitcoin will overtake the 18 trillion.
• 28:16
  All right, it's like a $29 trillion gold market now.
• 28:19
  So they're they're going to circle back to that one in 2029.
• 28:23
  Probably, probably a good take. Now I think obviously their
• 28:29
  predictions, no one has an idea. It is just kind of a framework
• 28:32
  for what's going on. But I think the general kind of
• 28:35
  take away of this is the majority of Bitcoiners don't
• 28:40
  don't really I think in the current moment that we are still
• 28:43
  kind of working on old heuristics here and we're not
• 28:46
  really factoring in the the grander macro cycle going on,
• 28:50
  the business cycle going on. And this is partly why I think
• 28:54
  that the bulls will win in 2026. So that is kind of my take away.
• 28:58
  I do agree with this. I am confirming my bias.
• 29:01
  You know, I'm very honest and transparent on that.
• 29:03
  Like I am bullish for 2026 at this point can't be more bearish
• 29:08
  than 2025. I mean, you can be more bearish,
• 29:11
  it could be more bearish, but. Stop talking.
• 29:17
  Stop. Actually maybe keep talking
• 29:20
  because the reverse softy effect has been proven to also be a
• 29:25
  thing. Every time you're like we're
• 29:27
  going to RIP. We literally dumped.
• 29:30
  Hey dude, it's my cross. It's my cross.
• 29:32
  The bear here. I I In the words of Nico, I
• 29:35
  blame Opti and. Yeah, yeah, it's all my fault
• 29:39
  guys. I'm the market maker.
• 29:40
  I'm the one you need to out trade you.
• 29:43
  You know me, I'm trading on the one minute chart out there, so
• 29:46
  you need to out trade me. So we're.
• 29:48
  All looking at the one minute chart out there, like straight
• 29:50
  up I feel like a degenerate 'cause all I do is look at the
• 29:53
  one minute chart now. Dude, it's it's a good bit.
• 29:57
  Gosh, it's a great bit. I'm glad it caught on.
• 30:00
  I'm glad you guys love the one minute chart bit.
• 30:03
  I I thought that was that was hilarious.
• 30:05
  But anyways, inverse Opti. OK, guys, inverse Opti.
• 30:09
  All right, Hey, I'll take one for the team.
• 30:11
  I'm I'm not bearish, but right now I'm just like, can can we
• 30:15
  just like, can we Fast forward the next 12 days?
• 30:19
  Can we just get into 2026? Because 2025 was brutal.
• 30:22
  I tried, I tried, I, I, I tried to stay positive all year.
• 30:27
  Dude, you got I, I just need a break, all right?
• 30:29
  I I need the Christmas break and then I'll come back bullish.
• 30:32
  It was just really, it was just so disappointing.
• 30:36
  I don't know. I, I think that we all thought
• 30:39
  that it was going to be the biggest bull, right?
• 30:41
  Especially because we all got cut short in 2021 with the China
• 30:46
  mining ban. We thought that this time there
• 30:49
  are no obstacles in our way. In fact, all of the things are
• 30:53
  in our favor this time for once. And it turns out that everything
• 30:58
  being in your favor does not affect the price.
• 31:03
  Yeah, I'm, I'm going to really crash out in the news segment
• 31:05
  for you guys where we're we're seeing some political stuff and
• 31:12
  it's it's absolutely horrible. Anyways, let's let's keep the
• 31:16
  show moving for the numbers guys.
• 31:19
  I do have Ray Dalio just went on, I believe it was CNBC if I
• 31:26
  remember correctly. And he is absolutely bearish on
• 31:31
  everything. He's like it's it's over.
• 31:34
  He basically is saying it's over for not just Bitcoin, but like
• 31:38
  every market right now. I, I, I want to play it to kind
• 31:42
  of break, break down what, what I'm seeing and I, how I think
• 31:45
  this is actually bullish for Bitcoin and the news again, we,
• 31:48
  we got an interesting kind of rumor coming out of, you know,
• 31:52
  Capitol Hill, which is absolutely ludicrous.
• 31:56
  It, it is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
• 31:58
  So we're definitely going to cover that.
• 32:00
  And then to wrap up the show, I, I got some data for you guys
• 32:05
  about, you know, what's going on in, in prices and and assets.
• 32:10
  And then Elon Musk said literally the dumbest thing I've
• 32:13
  ever heard in my life on Twitter.
• 32:16
  And so I'm going to combine the two here.
• 32:18
  But on that note, I do want to remind you guys to a smash the
• 32:21
  like button. Of course, comment on the show.
• 32:23
  Let me know what you think. Like give me some moral support
• 32:26
  for once, OK, Like is there hope for us in 2026?
• 32:30
  And then of course, subscribe to this to to the channel.
• 32:32
  Guys, we we dropped the best content period with I'm I'm not
• 32:36
  even gonna I'm not even gonna say that humbly anymore.
• 32:39
  We got the best stuff over here. All right, guys, also shouts out
• 32:42
  to the boys over at Bitcoin. Well, if you are sitting on the
• 32:45
  sideline, if you are looking at these dips here and you somehow
• 32:49
  still have dollars on the sideline, make sure you go to
• 32:52
  Bitcoin. Well, and the reason we love
• 32:53
  them is because they have never lost Bitcoin.
• 32:56
  They will never lose Bitcoin because they never hold your
• 32:59
  Bitcoin. Once your dollars go through, it
• 33:01
  goes straight to you in your Bitcoin wallet.
• 33:03
  Yes, you do need a Bitcoin wallet, which is an extra step,
• 33:07
  but it's a necessary step. As I tell you guys constantly,
• 33:10
  it's not enough to just get Bitcoin exposure.
• 33:12
  You need to actually hold that Bitcoin under your control AKA
• 33:18
  in self custody. This is the way.
• 33:20
  This is how you ensure that Larry Fink and Jamie Dimon and
• 33:24
  whatever other FTX Block 5 Celsius fraud doesn't get your
• 33:30
  Bitcoin because you don't leave your Bitcoin on the exchange.
• 33:33
  All right guys, quit Commercial Bake and we'll be right back.
• 33:43
  We'll give a shout out to our partner, Stamp Seed.
• 33:45
  Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
• 33:48
  Are your seed phrases really secure?
• 33:50
  Stamp Seeds Do It Yourself Kit has everything you'll need for
• 33:54
  you to hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium
• 33:58
  plates instead of just writing them down on paper.
• 34:01
  Paper is fragile. Titanium plates are strong.
• 34:05
  Your words are actually stamped into the titanium plate with
• 34:08
  this hammer and these letter stamping tools.
• 34:12
  Once the words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
• 34:15
  No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
• 34:18
  everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
• 34:21
  survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
• 34:24
  They're also crush proof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
• 34:28
  time proof. And now you can customize your
• 34:31
  titanium seed plates. You can upload your design or
• 34:35
  logo and they will laser engrave it on the back of your seed
• 34:39
  plate, the opposite side of where the words are.
• 34:41
  Stamp your seed stampseed and use promo code simply to get 15%
• 34:47
  off anything on the stampseed.com store.
• 34:56
  Dude. Guy.
• 34:57
  Zenkid you, you asked me to make a poll.
• 35:00
  I'm asking what poll should I make bro, not you make the poll
• 35:05
  all right? Anyways, anyways, the current
• 35:07
  Bitcoin price is 86,500. 10 Why? Was that so?
• 35:12
  I don't know I'm sorry dude, I'm about to crash out all right
• 35:15
  just let me let me let me work through some things here all
• 35:17
  right Current Bitcoin price $86,510, which is a 31.4%
• 35:24
  discount from all time high current market cap is 1.73
• 35:28
  trillion and the block height. The only time that really
• 35:30
  matters in the universe is the block height and it's currently
• 35:33
  at 928,443. Yeah, guys, this is This is why
• 35:38
  we we're never on time based on the YouTube time is 'cause
• 35:43
  we're, we're on Latino block height time.
• 35:46
  So that that's there you go some alpha for you guys.
• 35:49
  All right, so Ray Dalio just went on, oh, it's NBC, Meet the
• 35:52
  Press on NBC. He is saying, look, let me let
• 35:57
  me full screen. Ray Dalio is kind of a doomer.
• 36:01
  All right. First and foremost, he is kind
• 36:03
  of a doomer though obviously he's been in the market, he's
• 36:08
  got a lot of experience. I think there is some kind of
• 36:12
  wait to what he says. And really when you kind of hear
• 36:15
  what he's saying, there is some points where you can point at
• 36:20
  and be like this is happening. I don't know about the rest of
• 36:22
  it happening, but this is in fact happening.
• 36:25
  And and I'll and I'll kind of respond to that after the clip,
• 36:27
  so I'll be right back. I think that right now we are at
• 36:33
  a decision making point and very close to recession and I'm
• 36:37
  worried about something worse than a recession if this isn't
• 36:42
  handled well. A recession is 2 negative
• 36:44
  quarters of GDP and whether it goes slightly there, we always
• 36:48
  have those things. We have something that's much
• 36:51
  more profound. We have a breaking down of the
• 36:55
  monetary order. We are going to change the
• 36:57
  monetary order because we cannot spend the amounts of money.
• 37:01
  So we have that problem. And when we talk about the
• 37:03
  dollar and we talk about tariffs, we have that we are
• 37:06
  having a profound changes in our domestic order, how ruling is
• 37:12
  existing and we're having profound changes in the world
• 37:15
  order. Such times are very much like
• 37:18
  the 1930s. I've studied history and this
• 37:20
  repeats over and over again. So if you take tariffs, if you
• 37:24
  take debt, if you take the rising power, challenging the
• 37:28
  existing power, if you take those factors and look at the
• 37:31
  factors that those changes in the orders, the systems are
• 37:36
  very, very disruptive. How that's handled could produce
• 37:40
  something that is much worse than a recession.
• 37:43
  OK, First off, I think we've been in the recession for a
• 37:49
  while already. I think everyone kind of feels
• 37:52
  that I, I think we can all kind of admit, you know, the official
• 37:56
  numbers are saying we haven't yet gotten into a recession.
• 37:59
  They literally changed the meaning of what a recession was.
• 38:01
  I, I think, you know, you talk to anyone, they're feeling the
• 38:04
  pain, they just haven't actually acknowledged like we've been in
• 38:07
  a recession. So it's.
• 38:08
  Literally saying water is what? Yeah. 100% exactly.
• 38:12
  Now the more kind of Dumorish take here is that the obviously
• 38:17
  the tail of he thinks something worse in the recession is
• 38:20
  coming. So let me let me just think
• 38:23
  about this. What is worse than a recession?
• 38:27
  Oh, I know. Yeah.
• 38:28
  What? What is?
• 38:29
  That I know war. Well, well, worse than that.
• 38:32
  We've been in wars. We haven't left wars.
• 38:35
  It sounds like we're going to be into a Great Depression, you
• 38:38
  know? So hey, you know, he did say
• 38:41
  we're in a similar place to the 1930s.
• 38:44
  I don't know something, I said. War.
• 38:47
  Well, I mean, 1929 was the start of the Great Depression.
• 38:51
  So are. You OK?
• 38:54
  I'm dude, I'm melting, I'm tired.
• 38:56
  I'm literally dying over here. But yeah, so, you know, I, I
• 39:01
  think Ray Dalio's on the fence. He's like, I think we're going
• 39:04
  into the Great Depression. The greatest wait, the greatest
• 39:08
  depression? I think that the water is wet.
• 39:11
  Yeah, exactly. I I mean, yeah, the greatest
• 39:14
  depression is upon us, you know, I mean.
• 39:16
  It's kind of, to be honest with you, it's kind of nice that they
• 39:19
  haven't talked about it on the news, especially since the news
• 39:23
  and the media hate this administration in particular.
• 39:26
  So I find that a little bit surprising.
• 39:29
  But it's nice that they're not talking about it on the news
• 39:31
  causing a panic, even though every single person can feel it
• 39:35
  to their core. So I just what do you think
• 39:42
  these conversations sound like behind closed doors?
• 39:47
  Oh, they're way more like do you?
• 39:48
  Think they know? Yeah, they for sure know this is
• 39:51
  this is them doing PR. That's, that's my view.
• 39:54
  Like this is them essentially hedging their bets on what
• 39:57
  actually is. And they come out here and they
• 39:59
  say, you know, they say enough so that they can look back and
• 40:03
  point to these moments and be like, see, I was like warning
• 40:06
  you about it. And they knew exactly what was
• 40:08
  going on. That's that's kind of my view of
• 40:11
  it though. The really big point here that I
• 40:14
  do kind of agree with is that we are going through a monetary
• 40:18
  reorder right now that I think is is the clearest thing we've
• 40:21
  seen right now. Now whether this is now, now I
• 40:25
  look orange. Now we look.
• 40:28
  For colors. Do I don't do we?
• 40:30
  Yeah. I don't know.
• 40:31
  I don't ask the color blind guy, but OK, Is this what I normally
• 40:36
  look like? Crazy.
• 40:38
  That's my skin color. All right, OK, OK, OK, whatever,
• 40:43
  whatever. Anyways, we are clearly going
• 40:46
  through a monetary reorder moment right now, whether that's
• 40:51
  from within the United States, obviously the Fed versus Trump,
• 40:56
  the embrace of stable coins, you know the embrace of Bitcoin.
• 41:00
  There is kind of this shake up happening as we speak now also
• 41:05
  globally. We are seeing that we could also
• 41:09
  be potentially seeing the US essentially lose kind of their
• 41:14
  singular polar power in the world.
• 41:17
  It does seem like we might be heading into a multipolar world,
• 41:21
  which who knows what that could be.
• 41:22
  A lot of people been saying China, you know, a lot maybe
• 41:26
  some people been saying Russia as well.
• 41:28
  There's been the whole BRICS nation stuff going on.
• 41:31
  So we are starting to see that the world is being shaken up.
• 41:35
  The status quo of the last 100 years is is starting to change.
• 41:39
  Obviously, we don't know where that's going to end up.
• 41:43
  The choice from their perspective, a trad 5
• 41:46
  perspective is very binary. It's like, oh, either America
• 41:49
  stays number one or we go into a multipolar world.
• 41:52
  From our perspective, we're like, look, this is the Bitcoin
• 41:54
  era. You know, you guys aren't
• 41:57
  factoring in Bitcoin in this. And whoever does embrace
• 42:00
  Bitcoin, I think is going to win the monetary reordering that
• 42:04
  we're seeing right now. Surprisingly, I just feel like
• 42:07
  most of these institutions and, you know, the people in power
• 42:11
  are still not taking Bitcoin seriously the way that they
• 42:15
  should. They're still seeing it as an
• 42:16
  investment. They're seeing it as like, you
• 42:19
  know, this cute money that like they can play with.
• 42:23
  I mean, you even hear Trump saying it at the the conference
• 42:27
  last year. You have fun playing with your
• 42:29
  bitcoins and other things. They don't understand that this
• 42:33
  actually has global ramifications and that it can
• 42:37
  get us out of the hole that we have dug ourselves in.
• 42:41
  So as soon as somebody like actually starts to show them
• 42:45
  that this is the solution out of what is going to become a Great
• 42:50
  Depression if we don't start taking it seriously.
• 42:54
  It's so crazy to say, yeah, we're going to be in a greatest
• 42:57
  depression, Dude, Everything's chill.
• 42:59
  It's super chill. It's super chill.
• 43:02
  And also I, I didn't, I didn't actually watch it last night.
• 43:06
  But if you guys did watch it, you know, Trump did this whole
• 43:09
  like he did this. He was kind of marketing as like
• 43:14
  I have a huge announcement for you guys and what, what did he
• 43:18
  literally do throughout it? I, I kind of heard a summary of
• 43:20
  it. He basically like kind of lied
• 43:24
  or people are saying he trolled about going to war with
• 43:27
  Venezuela just so people watch it.
• 43:30
  And the whole conference was like, it's the golden age, guys.
• 43:34
  It's the best economy ever. Like, like you're what you're
• 43:38
  feeling right now isn't true. The data is in the best economy
• 43:42
  ever. And everyone's like watching
• 43:45
  this, Like, what the hell is he talking about?
• 43:47
  Nothing feels good right now. Like nothing feels like it's
• 43:51
  improving. In fact, it does feel like it's
• 43:54
  getting worse. Like, what are we talking about
• 43:56
  here? Like, can you stop the
• 43:57
  gaslighting? You know, like, you know, you're
• 44:00
  hilarious. Can you stop gaslighting me
• 44:03
  about how good things are though?
• 44:05
  The CPI numbers, if you believe those did come in and they are
• 44:08
  lower. So you know the manipulated
• 44:10
  numbers are doing a little better, but are.
• 44:13
  They were they the magically missing ones from October or?
• 44:17
  Yeah, yeah, no, they, they just put some new ones out for
• 44:20
  December. They didn't even give us the old
• 44:22
  ones. Yeah, so things are really bad.
• 44:25
  Things are so no dude, they're good.
• 44:27
  Come on. What's this is?
• 44:29
  The Golden. Age.
• 44:30
  What's up America? We all believe it because Trump
• 44:37
  says it's true. Yeah, totally.
• 44:40
  We're all right. I'm not.
• 44:43
  I'm not the only one crashing out.
• 44:44
  Looks like Sophie's crashing out on the show too.
• 44:47
  I am, I just don't even care. Anymore.
• 44:49
  Oh my God. It's only Thursday.
• 44:51
  I guess it's a Friday, not a Friday show.
• 44:53
  I like this comment from Lou Ferringo when they stop
• 44:56
  gaslighting. It's a depression.
• 44:58
  Literally. Literally, dude, everything
• 45:01
  right now is being pushed on vibes and narratives and
• 45:04
  marketing and in reality, like, you know what you're feeling
• 45:09
  right now. Like, look, they said they were
• 45:12
  going to pump Bitcoin. It's at 85 K or well, I don't
• 45:16
  know, yeah, 85 K. Like bro, I don't need to hear
• 45:19
  another speech about the golden age and how the economy is doing
• 45:24
  good and how they're magically going to make the economy better
• 45:26
  with no plan. Just pump or pump our acids at
• 45:32
  this point. Just pump my bags bro acid.
• 45:34
  Some pump our bags. This is the golden age of a man.
• 45:40
  Wait, wait, wait. I'm.
• 45:41
  I'm tired. I'm tired of winning, boss.
• 45:43
  I'm tired of winning. I'm so tired of winning.
• 45:46
  Yeah. Please, just I can we go back to
• 45:48
  losing? I know, dude, if this is what
• 45:51
  winning feels like, I don't want it.
• 45:53
  OK, take it back. All right, ANYWAYS, all right,
• 45:55
  I'm going to keep going into the news because I'm I'm, I think
• 45:59
  I'm really going to crash out on this next segment.
• 46:01
  This is just absolutely insane, so I'll be right back.

• 49:08
  OK, here we go. Look guys, this is rumor.
• 49:12
  Speculation. Oh God, But if this is what's
• 49:17
  happening, it's the most asinine thing I've ever heard in my
• 49:21
  life. I'm I'm completely done with
• 49:23
  Bitcoin. Quote, quote Bitcoin
• 49:25
  politicians. I don't care what Nico says.
• 49:28
  It's it's freaking over all right, Check this out.
• 49:31
  So Connor Brown, who used to work for Senator Lummis, he's
• 49:36
  now at head of strategy at Bitcoin Policy Institute, and he
• 49:41
  tweeted this last night. I'm hearing very concerning news
• 49:45
  out of Capitol Hill today. De minimis tax legislation may
• 49:49
  be limited to only stable coins, leaving everyday Bitcoin
• 49:53
  transactions without an exemption.
• 49:55
  This would be a severe mistake. BPI will be publishing a
• 50:00
  response. Stay tuned.
• 50:01
  All right, guys, listen, did you hear what I just said?
• 50:08
  They're relegating de minimis tax legislation or they're,
• 50:13
  they're going to, you know, not do capital gains tax only to
• 50:18
  stable coins. What?
• 50:24
  What? This is the dumbest thing I've
• 50:27
  ever heard in my life. It's absolutely the stupidest
• 50:31
  thing ever. By definition, if it is a stable
• 50:36
  coin, there is no capital gains on it.
• 50:40
  Therefore, why would you need a de minimis tax, a capital gains
• 50:45
  exemption on a stable coin? Like, are you kidding me?
• 50:50
  This is bro Bitcoin politicians. Look, I tried, I I think, I
• 50:56
  think I'm done. I'm done with it.
• 50:58
  I tried this is like. This.
• 51:01
  Is the dumbest thing. Ever.
• 51:03
  Yeah, because they think that we're dumb, that that's the only
• 51:06
  way that they think that they could ever get away with this is
• 51:09
  because they think that we're stupid.
• 51:11
  They think we know nothing about money, which to be honest, most
• 51:14
  people don't, but still, like, they're cheating everyone.
• 51:17
  They're like, we did something and guess what?
• 51:21
  They're going to spend hours and days and years trying to get
• 51:25
  this passed because it's going to go back and forth because
• 51:28
  they're going to be like, this isn't doing anything.
• 51:31
  Yes, it is. It's going to give us the
• 51:33
  midterms and people will vote for that because they think that
• 51:36
  they're getting a capital gains tax removed.
• 51:39
  It's the. It is dumb.
• 51:41
  Thing. Ever.
• 51:43
  I mean, I mean, let let's be clear, some of us are dumb.
• 51:46
  I I. I have a question though, does
• 51:49
  that mean that theoretically, and this is not financial
• 51:53
  advice, but theoretically, if I were to take my Bitcoin and move
• 51:59
  it into a stable coin and then sell?
• 52:02
  OK. Now we're thinking and then sell
• 52:05
  and use that for something. No capital gains.
• 52:10
  All right, I guess I'm a stable coin maxi.
• 52:12
  If this passes, I'm a. Genius.
• 52:16
  Yo, dude, I I'm literally at a loss of words here for how dumb
• 52:23
  if this is, how it all right, this is kind of my maybe this is
• 52:28
  this is the final straw for me when it comes to Bitcoin and
• 52:31
  politics. If this passes and and they they
• 52:36
  basically exclude that little loophole that Sophie said, it's
• 52:42
  like it's over for me. I I don't care if you're a
• 52:45
  Bitcoin politician at this point, like metaphorically,
• 52:48
  let's just burn it all to the ground like it's over and it's
• 52:51
  completely over. Just.
• 52:52
  Do what you've been doing Anon and opt out of the Fiat system.
• 52:58
  Like maybe we thought that life could get easier by having
• 53:02
  institutions in the government and everyone be friendly and
• 53:06
  gung ho for Bitcoin. But the reality is that the then
• 53:10
  they fight you stage probably hasn't even started.
• 53:13
  It probably hasn't. That was like a a little pre
• 53:16
  battle with the previous administration.
• 53:18
  This is like a little pre battle when we see devs from samurai
• 53:23
  wallet going to jail. This is this is literally not
• 53:28
  the fight. The fight is going to be having
• 53:30
  them quote UN quote adopt Bitcoin, make the price go side
• 53:36
  to side and then gaslight you into thinking that they are
• 53:39
  removing a capital gains tax when in reality they're only
• 53:43
  doing it to stable coins and potentially will.
• 53:47
  That's like their own little loophole of making you use a
• 53:50
  CBBC because that's that's, that's what's coming, That's
• 53:56
  what's coming. And so again, I think that this
• 54:01
  year bitcoiners have been sort of punished for expecting
• 54:06
  everything. And you know, the, the price
• 54:09
  going up and we, we like, it's almost like too good to be true
• 54:13
  because it was. And I think we have to go back
• 54:16
  to our principles, the long term time preference and opting out
• 54:21
  of the Fiat world because what are we really building if we're
• 54:26
  still relying on these Fiat institutions?
• 54:30
  What are we really doing here if that's what the end goal is
• 54:34
  going to be? And if these huge institutions
• 54:37
  are going to be the ones that are holding Bitcoin for us.
• 54:40
  I read someone in the comments saying like, it's just so much
• 54:43
  easier to buy the ETF. Why would I hold my my Bitcoin
• 54:47
  in self custody? And it's like that's a skill
• 54:50
  issue. And second of all, like you, why
• 54:54
  would you hold your Bitcoin in self custody?
• 54:56
  Because your generational wealth depends on it?
• 55:00
  Because it's the only thing that stands between you and the
• 55:04
  government aside from the Second Amendment, because it's the only
• 55:08
  hope that we have. That power will be returned to
• 55:12
  the people. There's so many layers to this.
• 55:16
  And I think that we're finally seeing the mask off of these
• 55:20
  institutions, the mask off of the government.
• 55:23
  And it's it's time to really call this what it is.
• 55:27
  And it's they're they're fooling you.
• 55:30
  They're seeing you for who you are.
• 55:33
  And they're they're taking advantage of your naivety.
• 55:36
  Yeah, you're seeing. You for who you are.
• 55:38
  It's crazy. Listen.
• 55:40
  I'm a lappy seeing a mom, bro. I'm going to tell you how it is.
• 55:43
  And sometimes we, you know, we can't be suit.
• 55:47
  No Southendejo is what we say like they're they're going to
• 55:52
  they're seeing you for who you are and they they know that
• 55:55
  you're lazy. They know that you're weak and
• 55:57
  this is how they think that they can take advantage of you.
• 56:01
  But you can take your power back.
• 56:03
  You can. It's out there.
• 56:06
  Like I love what this guy just said.
• 56:08
  BlackRock is laughing at all of us.
• 56:11
  It's true. They're laughing at all of us
• 56:13
  because they know that they can take advantage.
• 56:15
  They know that they have the power and it's time to really
• 56:21
  like stop relying on these people and just opt out and
• 56:26
  you'll see how quickly the tide turns.
• 56:28
  You saw it happen in the election in the in 2024.
• 56:32
  You saw people start to bow down and those who didn't bow down to
• 56:37
  Bitcoiners and to you know, I, I guess I would have to admit like
• 56:41
  the crypto markets at large, they failed.
• 56:45
  And I think it's because they didn't have the support of more
• 56:48
  libertarian leaning people. And I think this is this is
• 56:52
  where we have to go. This is where we're at right
• 56:54
  now. And it's time to to take our
• 56:58
  country back. It's time to take our self
• 57:00
  sovereignty back. Yeah, no, I, I actually fully
• 57:03
  agree with that. I, I think at this point, if
• 57:09
  we're, if we're being completely objective and I know politics
• 57:12
  is, is hard to be objective like it does seem and, and I, I have
• 57:17
  been very lenient and, and kind of open minded to there is
• 57:20
  probably things happening behind the scenes and I do want to see
• 57:23
  the effects actually kind of play out.
• 57:25
  And I, I know all of the dynamics and the power dynamics
• 57:28
  and the, the political infighting all that.
• 57:31
  But with that all being said, like Sophie was saying, you
• 57:36
  know, at this point, like we got a call, you know, spade a spade.
• 57:40
  And if what Connor said here, Connor Brown said is true, then
• 57:46
  I think we got to kind of, you know, connect the dots here with
• 57:50
  what happened with the strategic Bitcoin reserve and, and
• 57:53
  acknowledge that a lot of the stuff we've heard around
• 57:55
  Bitcoin, it has been a lot of vaporware, like it's been a lot
• 57:58
  of talk, a lot of good marketing.
• 58:00
  Like I, I think at this point we got to be.
• 58:02
  I actually it's a little too late for it because the time to
• 58:05
  be unreasonable was during the the elections and now it's kind
• 58:09
  of like this is our bed. But moving forward, I think as
• 58:13
  Soph was saying, you know, we got to take our side, like we
• 58:16
  got to be unreasonable here. And if they aren't doing what we
• 58:20
  want them to do, then what the hell are we even doing here?
• 58:23
  You know, This is why we want opt out money.
• 58:26
  I think we, we kind of were hoping being a little naive that
• 58:29
  hey, you know, if we embrace them, then maybe they'll
• 58:33
  actually do some good for us. At this point.
• 58:36
  It turns out that's probably not the case here.
• 58:39
  So look, if this goes through, this is the dumbest thing I've
• 58:43
  ever seen in my life. You know, I was saying if, if
• 58:46
  they just completely treat Bitcoin as money, a limited
• 58:49
  capital gains, like I'll be cool with that.
• 58:51
  Just that in and of itself, if they do a stupid de minimis tax
• 58:55
  on stable coins, which is like the most stupid thing I've ever
• 58:59
  heard in my life. Like I, I'm, come on, I'm going
• 59:02
  back to my old days and I'm just completely tuning out of it.
• 59:06
  It's cooked. It's over.
• 59:08
  I, I'm not, I'm not feeling bullish about Bitcoin
• 59:11
  politicians at this point, you know, love Nico, I love Dennis
• 59:15
  Porter, but we're going to be crashing out on the show over
• 59:18
  Bitcoin and politics. Cause dude, I need to see more
• 59:22
  at this point. Dude, again, maybe it's just
• 59:24
  been a year. Hey, I'll, I'll take a step
• 59:26
  back. Maybe it's been a year and I'm
• 59:29
  frustrated about everything, but I, I don't think it's too crazy
• 59:33
  to say like I need to see some more.
• 59:36
  And if this is the type of legislation we're seeing, which
• 59:38
  is what I've been saying about, you know, the regulatory clarity
• 59:42
  is probably going to do more harm than good.
• 59:45
  Or at this at, at this stage, literally do nothing.
• 59:49
  I I guess maybe, I guess maybe I'm OK with literally do
• 59:52
  nothing. Like I'd be better off with them
• 59:55
  literally doing nothing at this point because this is just the
• 59:58
  dumbest thing I've ever seen. I just want to know where the
• 1:00:01
  breach in communication is. Clearly the people in power are
• 1:00:06
  either doing this on purpose or they're doing this out of
• 1:00:09
  ignorance. And if it's out of ignorance,
• 1:00:11
  then I want to know where the breach of communication is.
• 1:00:13
  And if it's on purpose, then that means we have the fight of
• 1:00:17
  our lives in front of us. I would I would venture to argue
• 1:00:23
  it is on purpose. This is so dumb.
• 1:00:26
  This is so dumb. All right, anyways, I'm going
• 1:00:28
  to, I'm going to, I'm going to keep it moving because I I'll
• 1:00:31
  probably crash out a little more than I need to.
• 1:00:34
  I'll be right back, guys. I want to give a shout out to

• 1:02:42
  Yeah, I've, I've heard those rants forever.
• 1:02:45
  I'm like, I got it finally. Nico can get them out.
• 1:02:47
  I'm excited for this. All right, guys.
• 1:02:49
  Anyways, I wanted to, I was going to bring this up a couple
• 1:02:52
  of days ago because or rather yesterday it came out and I'm
• 1:02:55
  like, I've been telling you guys this forever.
• 1:02:59
  Kobayashi letter did a great tweet about this and they go own
• 1:03:02
  assets again, sorry, own assets or be left behind.
• 1:03:06
  And they have a chart here. Wealthier households mainly own
• 1:03:09
  financial and business assets. The wealthiest US households
• 1:03:12
  with net worth above $1 billion hold roughly 37% of their wealth
• 1:03:17
  in stocks, followed by roughly 35% in business interest.
• 1:03:20
  Those with 100 million to 1 billion hold roughly 58% in
• 1:03:24
  businesses and roughly 10% in equities.
• 1:03:27
  By comparison, households with net worth under $10,000 hold
• 1:03:31
  roughly 36% of their assets in their primary residence,
• 1:03:35
  followed by roughly 34% in vehicles.
• 1:03:38
  The 10,000 to 100,000 group holds roughly fleet 56% of their
• 1:03:42
  wealth in their homes and roughly 10% in vehicles.
• 1:03:46
  Overall, Americans with a net worth of under $1 million have
• 1:03:50
  almost 0 exposure to equities. The wealth divide is widening,
• 1:03:55
  which is just absolutely insane. When you think about this, this
• 1:03:59
  is what you understand. This is like even when I first
• 1:04:02
  got into Bitcoin, before I even got into Bitcoin, the one thing
• 1:04:07
  I did understand, it's like rich people own stocks.
• 1:04:09
  They own equities. I need to figure this thing out.
• 1:04:12
  Turns out, as I've told the story before, I didn't have
• 1:04:14
  enough money to buy stocks. Charles Schwab would not let me
• 1:04:17
  even open a trading account. Then I found Bitcoin and I
• 1:04:20
  realized, oh, Bitcoin is the only thing to be holding.
• 1:04:24
  As much as I don't like the digital asset mean, This is why
• 1:04:27
  Bitcoin is what what would Nico always say the most equitable
• 1:04:31
  inclusive money in the world is? Because literally you could buy
• 1:04:34
  a dollar of it. You don't need that much money.
• 1:04:36
  It's literally permissionless. It's open to everyone.
• 1:04:39
  Anyone that buys some, it can be a part of the network.
• 1:04:42
  Anyone that buys some can, you know, buy a portion of the 21
• 1:04:47
  million Bitcoin pie. This is what I've been telling
• 1:04:51
  you guys that you need to own assets.
• 1:04:53
  This is what Nico was kind of trolling me the other day about
• 1:04:56
  where he was like Opti's basically just saying like F the
• 1:04:59
  middle class and you know, buy assets and and pump our, pump
• 1:05:03
  our bags and destroy the purchasing power.
• 1:05:05
  I'm like, no, I'm not cheering this on.
• 1:05:07
  I'm just telling you what they're saying they're going to
• 1:05:10
  do. And since I know most of the
• 1:05:12
  people that watch this show aren't the extremely high net
• 1:05:15
  worth like you don't I I'd be I'd be surprised if anyone that
• 1:05:20
  watched simply Bitcoin had a higher than a billion dollar net
• 1:05:24
  worth currently. Now I don't know if that's
• 1:05:26
  necessarily the case, but I'm guessing most of us we're just
• 1:05:30
  like average people trying to survive.
• 1:05:31
  Now, maybe there's a few of you guys.
• 1:05:33
  And if there is, you know, like, hey, I like I like my rich, my
• 1:05:36
  rich guys in the chat. You guys are Chad shouts out to
• 1:05:39
  you. But I'm guessing the majority of
• 1:05:42
  people are of just average means.
• 1:05:45
  And This is why I always come out and I and I kind of like
• 1:05:48
  just give you the playbook. What I think is going on, what I
• 1:05:50
  think you should be doing, which is obviously saving in Bitcoin.
• 1:05:53
  That's what you need to be doing.
• 1:05:54
  Everyone can do it. Now.
• 1:05:56
  I was just going to cover this yesterday and then I saw this
• 1:06:00
  tweet from Elon Musk and I'm like, I am going to combine
• 1:06:02
  these two because 1, the hypocrisy here from Elon Musk
• 1:06:07
  and just a straight stupidity here is just literally it's off
• 1:06:11
  the Richter charts right now. Guys.
• 1:06:13
  This is absolutely nuts. OK, so Elon Musk yesterday
• 1:06:17
  tweeted, you know, Ray Dalio tweeted something about the
• 1:06:20
  Trump's administration, you know, launching trading accounts
• 1:06:24
  for families and The Dells, you know, piling in with their, you
• 1:06:28
  know, philanthropic work, work, etcetera, etcetera.
• 1:06:30
  Like, who cares? Whatever, this is dumb, don't
• 1:06:33
  care. But Elon Musk responds, it is
• 1:06:38
  certainly a nice gesture of The Dells, but there will be no
• 1:06:41
  poverty in the future and so no need to save money.
• 1:06:44
  There will be a universal high income.
• 1:06:48
  OK. So the richest man in the world
• 1:06:51
  who just previously passed $600 billion is out here telling you,
• 1:06:56
  yeah, don't save any money. You don't need to save any
• 1:06:59
  money. Like you're there's going to be
• 1:07:01
  no poverty in the future because of AI and robots.
• 1:07:03
  You know, Hey, you're going to have universal high income.
• 1:07:06
  It's going to be great. Like, government's just going to
• 1:07:08
  give you money. Like we're all going to be rich.
• 1:07:10
  And he's oprahing out here money for you, money for you.
• 1:07:13
  It's like, OK, you have 600 billion.
• 1:07:16
  You get a money and you you get a money.
• 1:07:19
  The money's under your seat. Check the money.
• 1:07:22
  Bro, it is the dumbest thing I ever heard.
• 1:07:25
  The richest man in the world telling you don't save money is
• 1:07:30
  crazy. I know he probably doesn't save
• 1:07:32
  too much money because of, you know, all his assets and his
• 1:07:35
  stocks and equities are are why he's rich.
• 1:07:38
  So maybe that's the flip side of this coin.
• 1:07:41
  But he's out here to let me see what, 300, two, 130 million
• 1:07:46
  followers out there just selling them this, this ridiculous dream
• 1:07:52
  of hey, dude, don't save money, man.
• 1:07:55
  This is literally like this is Weimar level stuff.
• 1:07:59
  This is like the highest time preference thing I've ever heard
• 1:08:03
  in my life. It's like, hey, we're going to
• 1:08:05
  solve all the world. We're going into a utopia, man.
• 1:08:07
  Don't save any money. Are you like, are you kidding
• 1:08:11
  me? It's the it's insane.
• 1:08:14
  It's insane. Like it's, it's literally
• 1:08:18
  insane. It's literally insane.
• 1:08:21
  You won't. Need to save money 'cause we'll
• 1:08:23
  have universal basic income. They could literally do a South
• 1:08:27
  Park musical out of. This.
• 1:08:28
  No, we need a we need a What was that, America?
• 1:08:33
  Fuck yeah. America.
• 1:08:35
  Yeah, we need one of those. Oh, man.
• 1:08:38
  OK, let's see. Aren't.
• 1:08:40
  Are those the same people? I don't know, I think so think
• 1:08:43
  so dude. But bro, yes, this these silicon
• 1:08:48
  valleys I. Think it was I.
• 1:08:50
  Think God is. AI, I think since he he, he is
• 1:08:53
  now like, wealthier than Bezos, Bill Gates and like some other
• 1:08:59
  billionaire combined. You know?
• 1:09:02
  You know who's going to freak out about this, right?
• 1:09:05
  Yeah. Like, you know, who were the
• 1:09:06
  first people to scream and shout?
• 1:09:12
  The radical lefties. And So what is he saying?
• 1:09:16
  No, no, no, no, no. Everything's going to be fine.
• 1:09:19
  We're going to have universal basic income.
• 1:09:21
  Guys, just relax. Like every, all of your
• 1:09:23
  communist dreams will come true. So just wait.
• 1:09:27
  Socialism is almost here. Let me cook and we will make it
• 1:09:32
  happen. And it's it's.
• 1:09:34
  Crazy talk too. It's crazy talk.
• 1:09:36
  It's actually insane. Yeah, Caleb Hammer from
• 1:09:40
  Financial Audit replied to him saying saying, guys, please save
• 1:09:45
  your money. Yeah.
• 1:09:46
  Literally, please save your money.
• 1:09:48
  Don't know who needs to hear this, but please have savings
• 1:09:52
  and an emergency fund because this is a utopian dream that
• 1:09:58
  will never happen. Or perhaps nightmare depending
• 1:10:01
  on how you see it. So yeah, don't, don't, don't get
• 1:10:05
  it twisted. It's literally insane.
• 1:10:08
  Maybe maybe he does have a point.
• 1:10:09
  If he means like, you know, don't save in Fiat, you know,
• 1:10:14
  we'll be generous. Don't save in dollars, but you
• 1:10:17
  need to save money. You need to save in Bitcoin.
• 1:10:19
  You need to save in Bitcoin. I know what he said.
• 1:10:21
  I, I, I was just, you know, flipping it.
• 1:10:23
  Basic. No, you no universal high
• 1:10:26
  income, high high income. Is he going to pay for that?
• 1:10:32
  Like, are we getting some Elon stimi checks now?
• 1:10:35
  Is that what's going to happen? It's not I'm, I'm literally on
• 1:10:41
  the verge of completely crashing out on everyone right now
• 1:10:44
  because this is just like the the Dumber, the the dumbest
• 1:10:48
  takes are starting to come out from every angle right now.
• 1:10:52
  And I'm, I, I think I've had enough for 2025.
• 1:10:55
  I'm just like, all right, let's let's put this one on the shelf.
• 1:10:58
  You know, this is like Toy Story meme, like I'm done playing with
• 1:11:01
  this toy. You know, I'm going to go play
• 1:11:03
  with Buzz Lightyear. Like could, could we, could we
• 1:11:05
  just get into 2026 at this point?
• 1:11:08
  Because this year has been absolutely insane.
• 1:11:12
  So hey, there we go guys. I I made it through without
• 1:11:16
  actually losing the shit today but.
• 1:11:17
  Yeah, I was the one who lost it. Yeah, anyways, anyways guys, I
• 1:11:22
  was. I was looking forward to it.
• 1:11:23
  I was trying to like trigger you into into.
• 1:11:26
  Boys. Completely crashing out.
• 1:11:28
  Boys and girls, it's officially over.
• 1:11:34
  Not just the shell, but everything.
• 1:11:36
  Just stack them. Shats continue to accumulate
• 1:11:39
  Bitcoin. I guess we are really going into
• 1:11:42
  a fork world where it's those that have Bitcoin and then
• 1:11:46
  everyone else on universal high income, you know, debt slaves.
• 1:11:51
  It's surveilled by AI, digital Idi don't know.
• 1:11:54
  Pick your future, pick your poison.
• 1:11:56
  I think at the end of the day, politically, financially,
• 1:11:59
  spiritually, it is going to be a battle between those who seek
• 1:12:04
  the truth and those who want to believe the lies.
• 1:12:07
  And if you seek the truth, keep stacking Bitcoin, keep it in
• 1:12:10
  self custody, Don't give it to these monetary demons.
• 1:12:14
  And and yeah, and just always try to look for what's real
• 1:12:19
  because more and more increasingly the world is
• 1:12:23
  becoming super fake and. Yes, super.
• 1:12:30
  Fake. Super fake and period, period.
• 1:12:36
  All right, guys, all right, all right, all right, all right.
• 1:12:40
  It's officially over. And by that I mean the show.
• 1:12:43
  So I will be back tomorrow for my last.
• 1:12:47
  No, actually, no, no, because doesn't.
• 1:12:51
