- 0:42pumping. We're pumping.
- 0:43I think we went from like 38 K We touched Fit 42K last night.
- 0:48Everyone's been losing their minds.
- 0:51Opti and I were talking about this off air.

- 0:56Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
- 0:59Things feel good. People are optimistic.
- 1:03Adam Back is dropping crazy, crazy price predictions.
- 1:07He's calling for $700,000 Bitcoin.
- 1:10Samsung now is calling for $1,000,000 Bitcoin.
- 1:13We're going to break all of that down for you guys today.

- 1:39event that you're throwing. You have a lot of high profile
- 1:42speakers flying from all over the world going to this, this
- 1:46little, this little islands off the coast of Portugal.
- 1:49What's happening there? I know that the President of
- 1:52Portugal, for example, spoke or or or the.
- 1:55I don't, I don't know what the correct terminology is, but he
- 1:58spoke at either Bitcoin 2022 or Bitcoin 2023 and that was a big
- 2:01deal. Yes, but it's the president of
- 2:04Madara, not the president. President of Maida.
- 2:06President of Maida. See, that's why I'm asking you.
- 2:08That's why I'm asking you. Well, it would be amazing to
- 2:11have the president also there, the the, the big main one, but
- 2:14that's not possible so. Hey, never say not possible yet.
- 2:19Yet yet. We have elections next March, so
- 2:22who knows? Just actually one week after the
- 2:24conference, we have elections for the national government, so
- 2:28who knows? Yeah, there you go.
- 2:32So if you live in, you live in Portugal, you know what to do.
- 2:35Anyone who's always optimistic Opti, what's going on with
- 2:40restream, bro. I don't know bro, You're having
- 2:42all kinds of well, actually guys, for once this is not my
- 2:46fault. This is Nico's fault.
- 2:48So shouts out to the chat, making fun of Nico and not Opti
- 2:51this morning. But hey man, big fun of the
- 2:53show. Pile in because.
- 2:55I don't know what's here. We made it.
- 2:56We made it. We made it.
- 2:58As Nigel was saying, you guys need to lower your time for.
- 3:00No, no, we're we're, we want to hit our normal time guys.
- 3:03But hey, it's Monday. It's going to be a chaotic week.
- 3:06And hey, we showed up, so we're doing the best we can with what
- 3:10we got working today. Nico, Don't update your
- 3:12computers, bro. Yeah, don't don't update if you
- 3:15use restream on your Mac. Like, don't operate your
- 3:19operating system because it just messes everything up anyways.
- 3:23I do want. To talk to updating Ledger,
- 3:25right? Ledger makes a backdoor.
- 3:28Maybe. Maybe the new operating system
- 3:31that made a backdoor? I don't know.
- 3:32Who knows? Update Oh man, Don't update,
- 3:35don't update. That's for sure.
- 3:36So Opti was talking about it being a heptic week.
- 3:38Yes, simply Bitcoin is going to be traveling to Unconfiscatable
- 3:43in Las Vegas. We're going to be doing some
- 3:45awesome interviews with high profile speakers and I think
- 3:48we're gonna be also live streaming the conference as
- 3:50well. So we will be traveling.
- 3:52We might miss an episode or two. Just letting you guys know, but
- 3:56it overall it should be an awesome, awesome week.
- 3:59All right guys, no more delay. Let's jump straight into the
- 4:01show. We have a lot to talk about
- 4:03today. Let's check it out.
- 4:06The Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
- 4:10really secure? Is your seed phrase really
- 4:13secure? Stamp seeds?
- 4:14Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
- 4:17hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
- 4:22instead of just writing them on paper.
- 4:24Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
- 4:27Papers prone to water damage, fire damage.
- 4:30You want to put your generational wealth on one of
- 4:32the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
- 4:36Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
- 4:39hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
- 4:42aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
- 4:45apart and pieces falling everywhere.
- 4:48Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
- 4:51produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
- 4:53waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
- 4:56All things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your
- 4:59Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
- 5:02Stamp your seed on stamp seed. But because restream is bugging
- 5:10for me. Yeah, your audio is a little
- 5:13weird. Too in the video description.
- 5:16Yeah, I I have no idea what's going on Opti.
- 5:20Let me know if you. Did this one keep it going?
- 5:22At the time of recording the Bitcoin price is 41,710 SATS per
- 5:27dollar 2398 block height 819,700 seven 167 blocks to having
- 5:3520,233 having estimate April 19, 2024 Total Lightning Network
- 5:41capacity 5041 Bitcoin capacity value roughly 210 million U.S.
- 5:47dollars Realized Monetary inflation 1.75% The market
- 5:51capitalization of Bitcoin $816 billion with the B almost at a
- 5:56trillion dollars. We're almost there.
- 5:57Bitcoin versus gold market cap 5.92% Definitely a definitely a
- 6:02big big big leg up. Anyways, this was an ad that
- 6:09dropped over the weekend or last week, and originally it was a
- 6:14Coinbase ad, but of course some bitcoiners hijacked the ad and
- 6:18made it a Bitcoin ad opti let me know if you can hear this
- 6:25system, Emma yeah? We're born into it, A system
- 6:28with numbers and papers and lines and waiting.
- 6:32You work. Hard Get good grades, Go to
- 6:34college. I want to go to college.
- 6:36I got good grades. I overachieved.
- 6:38That's right, she did. Debt is good.
- 6:41Debt. Is so good.
- 6:42So much debt. I can totally save up and.
- 6:46Buy a house and start a family. I want a family.
- 6:49Oh, Starting a family means you need two or three jobs.
- 6:52You can't afford to buy. Oh, you can't afford to rent.
- 6:56Used cars cost as much as the new ones.
- 6:58Oh, it's weird. Good debt is good.
- 7:01Ahead of my classes are too expensive, work hard, get good.
- 7:03The system did not rent. Is freaking interesting.
- 7:06Breaking news. Everything is terrible.
- 7:09Does it have to be this way? What if it was different?
- 7:12It's always been that way. We've got to build our way out
- 7:14of it. Yeah.
- 7:16Book control packed in the hands of the people.
- 7:18Not the. Bureaucracy.
- 7:20A system with less paperwork, no waiting, no lines permission
- 7:24less Just because. You're born into a system.
- 7:26Doesn't mean you have to live with it.
- 7:31So of course Bitcoiners hijacked that that that that ad.
- 7:36Originally it was a Coinbase ad. And then of course, Bitcoiners
- 7:39took the ad, took out the Coinbase logo, and then replaced
- 7:44it with a Bitcoin logo. So it was very, very fitting.
- 7:47But what I got to say about that is that, look, the overall
- 7:50messaging was on point. Like I think they correctly
- 7:53identified the problem. Now where I think they do a
- 7:56disservice is that they're just leading people into shit coins
- 7:59and saying, OK, shit coins are going to fix the solution versus
- 8:02what Bitcoiners know it's that you know it's Bitcoin or
- 8:05slavery. Bitcoin is the solution.
- 8:07And another thing that they said is like, we got to remove the
- 8:09bureaucracy, we got to remove the red tape.
- 8:11Look, if you opt out of Fiat currencies, you're replacing the
- 8:16your central banker with the shit coin developer because they
- 8:20have the ability to change the monetary policy at a moment's
- 8:24notice to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else,
- 8:27right? So you know, again, I understand
- 8:30Coinbase, it's a public company. They put they bet behind, you
- 8:36know, they bet behind the shit coins.
- 8:38They're going to die on that hill.
- 8:39It is what it is. But This is why me, Maddox are
- 8:42so important. We were able to hijack it and
- 8:45put a Bitcoin logo at the end and you know, and get our
- 8:49message out that way. Anyways, I want to get Andre's
- 8:51take on this. Andre, what's your take?
- 8:54Especially on the messaging. The messaging of the ad was very
- 8:56powerful in my opinion. You know, I think the most
- 8:59important part is there are hordes of people that now
- 9:03understand the breaking news. Everything is terrible part and
- 9:09it's it's what's lacking is just that final step on understanding
- 9:15what the solution is. But they're coming and it was a
- 9:19magnificent ad actually. It was really good.
- 9:22And we're seeing the hordes just, you know, unpleased,
- 9:26unsettling. And here on the first world, you
- 9:32know, it takes longer because things are not so broken as as
- 9:38many other countries. So they get it first, which is
- 9:40actually an equalizer in itself. It's not a problem, but it will.
- 9:45It will eventually come and it's coming fast.
- 9:47And in in Europe, we feel it a lot.
- 9:49You know, everything's breaking. You know, the confidence in in
- 9:54in in the old hits in the government, it's it's never been
- 9:58so low. So it's coming and it's coming
- 10:01soon and we're here to help everyone on board the escape I.
- 10:06Understand that's that's the job of bitcoiners is we we have to
- 10:11show them the escape valve to use Christine Lagarde's own
- 10:14words to use the head of the European Central Bank, right.
- 10:19Anyways, Speaking of Christine. Because our best friend,
- 10:21actually, you know, she's just making everything faster.
- 10:24You know, did. You know that she dated Opti.
- 10:31Rather I tried to date her I. Tried.
- 10:33I bet. I bet you didn't see it coming.
- 10:35You know at the. Top Opti was trying to get as
- 10:38close as possible to the to the Contilionaire spigot and Opti.
- 10:44What happened between you guys? I don't know.
- 10:47I I think I'm too outside the Elverton window.
- 10:49Maybe. Maybe I'm too young.
- 10:51I don't know. You know, I tried.
- 10:54Did she dump you or you dumped her?
- 10:56Well, she belongs to the street, so I dumped her.
- 11:00You know, I I she she wouldn't let me get close to the money
- 11:03printer, so I had to escape and find my own exit route.
- 11:07But that's deep. That's deep anyway.
- 11:09What do you what do you what? Do you think?
- 11:11What do you think about the? Video Honestly, I I didn't see
- 11:14it until now. I saw everyone was talking about
- 11:16it on Twitter. I didn't know that was a
- 11:17Coinbase ad, but to be honest, that messaging is is very good
- 11:22and I hopefully it was Ronan who like, changed.
- 11:25I don't know what the end looked like.
- 11:26Maybe it like popped up Coinbase or something.
- 11:29You know, Coinbase has had some very bad ads for a while, but
- 11:33this one is very on point. It's kind of what we've been
- 11:35talking about here on the show for a long time, that the powers
- 11:38that be the the Cantillion insiders, the central bankers,
- 11:41the politicians, everyone that paints Bitcoin as being criminal
- 11:46or something to avoid, are really doing the best
- 11:49advertising for Bitcoin that we could even imagine.
- 11:53Because everything's getting more expensive, You know,
- 11:55they're getting more tyrannical. They're trying to stifle the
- 12:00freedom of speech. They're trying to stifle
- 12:01information. And look, you know, Bitcoin just
- 12:05hit 41 K Bitcoin is pumping. And so it's something you said
- 12:09to me a long time ago, Nico. It's like you can't hide the
- 12:12shock of inflation and now everyone is feeling it's
- 12:16becoming the defining conversation.
- 12:18Right now people are wondering what is going on with the money?
- 12:20What is going on with inflation? Why is everything getting more
- 12:23expensive? Why are why is shrink inflation
- 12:26a thing? Like, why are they printing more
- 12:28money? What is going on here?
- 12:29And so these are the questions that lead people to asking
- 12:33themselves what is money? What is the best money?
- 12:36What is Bitcoin? And now that Bitcoin is, I think
- 12:40officially in a bull run, at least by all metrics, we've
- 12:44probably been in a bull run all year.
- 12:45I know you guys have been yelling at me.
- 12:47It's like we've been in the bull run for the whole year.
- 12:49I know that. I think we're at like, what,
- 12:51150% price appreciation this year in Bitcoin alone.
- 12:56It's becoming very clear to everyone out there.
- 12:58It's like, wait, what is the problem and is there a solution?
- 13:02And this is what we talk about constantly on the show.
- 13:04Like, yo, if you're an average person of average means you
- 13:07can't save in dollars, life is getting more expensive, you're
- 13:11barely able to make ends meet, people are working two to three
- 13:15jobs and still living paycheck to paycheck, well, you might
- 13:19want to look for an alternative. And of course that alternative
- 13:22is Bitcoin. There is Bitcoin, and then there
- 13:25are shit coins and everything else is a shit coin in
- 13:27comparison to Bitcoin. And so, again, I've been saying
- 13:31this for a while, and I'm glad that Nico's finally getting
- 13:33stupidly bullish, you know, saying that we might not be
- 13:37seeing diminishing returns anymore.
- 13:39We're asking, we're asking the chat right now.
- 13:41About 86 of you have already voted.
- 13:45Does diminishing returns break this cycle?
- 13:4856% of you said yes, it does. I'm going to pass it on to
- 13:52Andre. Andre, do you believe in the
- 13:54diminishing returns theory? I don't know.
- 13:57I believe that this one always surprises you.
- 13:59So I wouldn't bet on any any of any of the outcomes.
- 14:04I'm you know, I just believe in the low long term perspective on
- 14:09the thing and there it will break everything.
- 14:12As a seller put it, all models are destroyed and it will
- 14:17eventually break everything but on a good way.
- 14:20So, and it's not the first time that cheap corners do good ads.
- 14:25I still remember FTX on the golden bowl or whatever it was.
- 14:28It was kind of funny and it was on point at the time as well.
- 14:32Yeah. We all know why it ended up but.
- 14:36Oh man, I I do remember that. Yeah, dude, the shit corner,
- 14:39man. We we got to step up our game as
- 14:41bitcoiners and get. On this good parking department,
- 14:43man, they're good at it. So it's.
- 14:45They're really good. They're really good at it.
- 14:47I mean, I was literally joking with Nico the other day.
- 14:49I was watching a a football game by chance and it was like
- 14:53blockchain.com all around the arena.
- 14:55I'm like, yo, like these shit corners are everywhere, man.
- 14:59Like we need to get some of that shit coin money.
- 15:01If only we didn't have principles, man.
- 15:04They're everywhere. You know, in Europe we are, you
- 15:07know, big, big football fans. There's shit corners on almost
- 15:11every shirt. Even my, my, my favorite team in
- 15:14Portugal, they have been ants here.
- 15:18I don't know if people know this as well, but Cristiano Ronaldo,
- 15:20for example, is from the data. And you know, actually there was
- 15:24a couple of news today or yesterday that is being sued.
- 15:30So you lay your own bed, man. You'll eventually learn.
- 15:34So it's good. Oh man.
- 15:42All right, Opti, let's jump straight into the culture.
- 15:44We could talk about Bitcoin Atlantis, and then we'll hit the
- 15:46news. We'll talk about Adam Back's

- 17:37this. But let's start with your first
- 17:38project. What is freemadera.com?
- 17:40What are you working on? Well, you cannot disconnect the
- 17:43project the free meter from the conference because free meter
- 17:47organizes the conference and it's part of the objectives as
- 17:49well. But yeah, free meter is in the
- 17:52basis of it all. It's a, it's a non profit.
- 17:55So basically it was set up to for the high, you know, level of
- 18:03adoption and and education of all Bitcoin touches in our
- 18:08region in our archipelago. And we have a lot of plans.
- 18:12You know, Bitcoin touches everything.
- 18:13So it goes from education to remittances.
- 18:16We have a big diaspora outside of Madar as well, a big
- 18:19connection to Venezuela and other places energy.
- 18:24We're working with the public power company on educating them
- 18:27to integrate mining and other, you know, other parts of the
- 18:30technology in their services. We're creating a Bitcoin
- 18:35business hub where we'll have the free Madar headquarters, the
- 18:39meet ups, the podcast, the you know sovereign engineering
- 18:42projects, so educational projects inside and and
- 18:45especially a place where Bitcoin companies can incorporate work
- 18:49from there with a Co working space, you know private offices
- 18:52and so on. So many, many good long term
- 18:56projects that we're trying to establish.
- 18:58Some of them are already, you know, full on, some are still on
- 19:03the planning. But there's many, many good
- 19:05goals for for the for the overall organization And my dad,
- 19:09of course. Awesome.
- 19:11Love it. Love it.
- 19:12OK, so let's just jump straight into Bitcoin Atlantis for those
- 19:15listening in audio. How is Bitcoin Atlantis shaping
- 19:20up? When is it?
- 19:20What can people expect? All that good stuff.
- 19:24No, I was shaping up, shaping up to be a great week in Madara.
- 19:27You know since we decided to do it, it grew.
- 19:31It became this monster conference that we're doing in a
- 19:34stadium in downtown for Shaw. We're hoping to get 5000 people.
- 19:40Things are going very well on ticket sales.
- 19:42So we're, we're probably almost there.
- 19:44And yeah, we because of our Advisory Board that we have at 3
- 19:49Madara, you know, with people like Jeff Booth and Tracross and
- 19:52Samson and Obi and you know, so many good people helping us, we
- 19:57were able to reach out to this long list of of speakers that
- 20:03are already on board. We have many, actually many more
- 20:07news to give on the following months.
- 20:09There's a lot more that you can see on the page right now.
- 20:13But of course we have all the big names.
- 20:15Jack Dorsey, Michael Seller, Jack Mahler, Jeff Boots.
- 20:17You know, list goes on. Add them back Giacomo Obi, I
- 20:21don't know. There's over 120 speakers
- 20:25confirmed and that will be on the 2 main stages, the Mainstage
- 20:31and the open source stage. But for in our view it's also a
- 20:34a mainstage because a lot of good conversation is going to
- 20:37happen there and and a bunch I mean a serious bunch of
- 20:42satellite events that we can speak in more detail.
- 20:46But it's going to be a full week of activities in in in the
- 20:49island and in the venue and in many other smaller venues around
- 20:53and even some nature ones not related to you know to to
- 20:57Bitcoin itself, parties and music festival.
- 21:00The list goes on because we we decided from start, you know,
- 21:05but but that is a is already a very, oh can I say a very known
- 21:11touristic destination and an amazing place to to spend the
- 21:14vacation. So we decided to make it a full
- 21:17week and if people are coming to Madera, why not spend some
- 21:22vacations. So we invite people to come a
- 21:24few days before, go a few days after and get to know the
- 21:28island. There will be a lot of
- 21:30activities of nature like boat trips and hiking and many other
- 21:34things to do. So just, you know, treat it as a

- 22:34this amazing golf course that we have in the mountains, beautiful

- 22:43finishing with the launch and some SAT surprises and so on.
- 22:47And then there's many, many others like we on the 28th, we
- 22:50already and we have some partner satellite events.
- 22:53So excuse me if I forget some, but we'll have me premier
- 22:57Bitcoin with a with an event previous to the conference.
- 23:01We're going to have the Raspy Blitz guy with the with the guys
- 23:04with another event. We're going to have a women's
- 23:06branch. We're going to have the mega

- 23:55You were going to have the half in the seaside run for running
- 23:59aficionados. So many things that I'm probably

- 24:38By the way, Nico, be before we move.
- 24:40On Atlanta simulated, Yeah. Andre, what?
- 24:44What exactly is the response to Bitcoin in Madera?
- 24:48Like? Is it known?
- 24:50How? How do people look at Bitcoin
- 24:51over there? Well, it's still like most
- 24:54places. I would say the majority is
- 24:55still very far away either they a lot of people still think it's
- 25:01a scam of course, and a lot of people are involved involved in
- 25:05shit coiner as well. You know the spirit, Cristiano
- 25:08Ronaldo endorses shit coins. So it's it's hard.
- 25:11We're starting from the bottom but we are, we are very, very
- 25:16surprised not only for the community that already
- 25:20established here in Mulatt, it's becoming quite big actually a
- 25:24lot of businesses and families, some of them already here, some
- 25:29on our way some already you know very interested.
- 25:32We we've been getting messages every days and and I was very
- 25:37surprised since we started the open the the merchants trying to
- 25:43get merchants on board. When we confirmed the conference
- 25:46and really wanted to push it. I was very surprised by how many
- 25:51people just on board and Bitcoin without even blinking of an eye.
- 25:54You know I was very surprised and we're growing the we're
- 25:58growing numbers every day. We're being almost like Bitcoin
- 26:00we're we're a full round of merchant adoption here in Madaha
- 26:03now. So I think the perspectives are
- 26:06very, very good. Love it, love it.
- 26:09And I I think it just kind of goes what what your goal is with
- 26:14the conference to onboard NOOBS and of course bring bitcoiners
- 26:17to your lovely, lovely island. It's a it's a very it's a golden
- 26:22opportunity to increase the education by 5 by tenfold.
- 26:28You know people get a lot more curious.
- 26:30We have big names it's going to put a lot of movement like but
- 26:33that is not that big and the main city for shell is a medium
- 26:36sized city so you can imagine 5000 bitcoiners in a week and
- 26:40Don Don for shell is going to be completely crazy.
- 26:43So of course it pushes the awareness and and one of our
- 26:47goals, we have a Layer 1 ticket just for residents quite cheap,
- 26:50So very cheap for locals to to for the curious locals to to
- 26:54come to learn. And I think a lot of them will
- 26:58be surprised because they're going to be very surprised that
- 27:02they go to the conference and almost nobody's going to pick
- 27:05speak about price. So it's going to be very
- 27:07technical, very, you know, we're going to speak about energy,
- 27:09about macroeconomics, about a lot of stuff.
- 27:12And they'll be surprised and hopefully learn why become is so
- 27:15different from everything else that they're being, you know,
- 27:18slapped in the face every day. Yeah, I love it.
- 27:22Love it. All right.

- 29:36Remember, not your keys, not your Bitcoin.
- 29:41All right everybody. So a crazy prediction by Adam
- 29:44Back basically saying calling for $100,000 Bitcoin by the
- 29:49having he made that famous bet with the Kingo.
- 29:52But I think he was feeling extremely bullish because he
- 29:55made another he made another prediction last night, basically
- 29:58saying that by this having and and Samson Mao and him were
- 30:02going back and forth, by this having, there's a possibility
- 30:06that we might see $700,000 Bitcoin.
- 30:09Why $700,000 Bitcoin? He is saying that Bitcoin might
- 30:14flip the price of gold. Now something crazy is
- 30:17happening. Look we're really not that far
- 30:21off from the previous all time high about 50%.
- 30:25It's according to this this trading view statistic.
- 30:30This is going absolutely parabolic.
- 30:32This is not at all what happened last cycle.
- 30:36So things are just things are heating up and especially it's
- 30:39it's not even the Bitcoin having yet And I think the reason for
- 30:43all this and of course we're speculating there's no way to
- 30:46know this for sure is for two reasons primarily.
- 30:53Primarily the reason number one is the Bitcoin ETF.
- 30:56A lot of people are getting excited because of the Bitcoin
- 30:59ETF and because of the potential inflows coming into Bitcoin with
- 31:04all this institutional money coming in.
- 31:08That's reason #1 and reason #2, and I think the the the more
- 31:13important reason in my opinion is that Michael Saylor is in the
- 31:17green. His average price per bitcoins
- 31:19around 30,000. And Naimbu Kelly this morning,
- 31:22which is what we're going to talk about on tomorrow's
- 31:24episode, tweeted out that El Salvador is now in the green as
- 31:28well as the price of Bitcoin is at $40,000 per coin.
- 31:33That's two massive deals on the public company level.
- 31:37Michael Saylor has proven that Bitcoin is not only in a viable
- 31:40alternative to holding Fiat, but is a better alternative.
- 31:44And then on the country, on the nation state level, Naeem Bukele
- 31:47is proving that Bitcoin again is not only a viable alternative to
- 31:51Fiat currencies, but it it is a better alternative.
- 31:55Clearly El Salvador's Bitcoin strategy is winning and that's
- 32:00in complete contradiction to what the IMF predicted because
- 32:03the IMF was hit El Salvador with all this legacy media propaganda
- 32:08attacks using the corporate media saying this is going to be
- 32:12terrible for your economy, your economy is going to collapse.
- 32:14And then with Argentina, when the IMF gave Argentina another
- 32:19bailout, one of the conditions was that the Argentine
- 32:22government had to de incentivize the adoption of Bitcoin and
- 32:26crypto, right? So the IMF, the predictions that
- 32:29they made, they got it absolutely wrong.
- 32:32Now it's undeniable that Nayeem Bukele with the Bitcoin law made
- 32:36the right decision. And I think because they fix the
- 32:40base layer of society, I think you see, you're seeing El
- 32:43Salvador flourish. You're seeing El Salvador
- 32:46improve. Maybe it's too early to tell,
- 32:49but as a bitcoiner who has adopted a Bitcoin standard for
- 32:53about 6-7 years now, I could tell you that it's completely
- 32:57changed my life. It's improved.
- 32:58My life could say the same thing about Opti.
- 33:00I could say the same thing about everyone who's really adopted a
- 33:02Bitcoin standard. Anyways, this is Adam Back.
- 33:05This is his prediction. I think he was feeling bullish
- 33:07last night with the price of Bitcoin flying.
- 33:09He said digital gold. Bitcoin will surely flip
- 33:12physical gold sooner or later, and probably this having cycle.
- 33:18So within a year or two currently I would take 700,000,
- 33:23seven, 700K Bitcoin. But it may be partially a
- 33:27substitute. Some people start selling gold
- 33:29to buy Bitcoin crossing the market cap below that, right.
- 33:33And of course we always read you this on Clark Moody's dashboard
- 33:36and we do it on purpose Bitcoin versus the gold market cap and
- 33:40it's at 5.91%. So I think when we started
- 33:45covering this, it was in the 3%. So it still has a while to
- 33:50climb. But I mean, look, someone who
- 33:52was, who was cited in the Satoshi in the Bitcoin white
- 33:56paper making these types of bullish predictions, I mean,
- 34:01something might be happening there and I'll get to why.
- 34:04I think it starts to make a little bit more sense.
- 34:06So here's Vijay Boyapati. He wrote the very, very, very
- 34:10famous piece that went absolutely viral, that it was
- 34:14eventually turned into a book. I think he might be speaking at
- 34:18Bitcoin Atlantis, I think, which is the bullish case for Bitcoin.
- 34:23And he says Bitcoin all time high before the halving.
- 34:26For the first time ever, Adam Back responded with that's what
- 34:29I've been saying. My bet is 100K Bitcoin before
- 34:33the halving. So Adam Back is feeling bullish
- 34:37to say the least. On the other side of things,
- 34:41here is Opti's ex-girlfriend, Christine Lagarde, and here is a
- 34:44tweet by the European Central Bank just to contrast both
- 34:48things. International cooperation has
- 34:50brought indisputable benefits, but mistrust has grown among
- 34:54citizens, says optis ex-girlfriend Christine Lagarde.
- 34:57To respond, policymakers need to focus on citizens, priorities
- 35:02and lead with courage while being held accountable.
- 35:05What about being held accountable for all of that
- 35:08money printing? Why do they keep gaslighting us?
- 35:11Why do they keep trying to shove CBD CS down our throats?
- 35:15Right. So again, I think this is the
- 35:17another definition of gaslighting.
- 35:20Just gaslighting right up in your grill.
- 35:23OK, so Adam Back is predicting these crazy things, right?
- 35:27That's what I've been saying, 100K.
- 35:28Boy, the halving and he's predicting 700K Bitcoin.
- 35:32This having cycle. You guys know the deal and
- 35:34simply Bitcoin. We don't really speculate but we
- 35:37can make the case. So first we kind of have to go
- 35:40back in time and see what happened last cycle.
- 35:45And I think that this played a major role in why the last cycle
- 35:49was played short. So if anyone who's looking on
- 35:53the screen right now, here is the US dollar. the US dollar
- 35:57price in April of 2021, and it was at it peaked at roughly 60
- 36:03or or 58,000 U.S. dollars. And then it crashed last cycle.
- 36:08At the same time of that crash, the Bitcoin hash rate crashed as
- 36:14well. The Bitcoin hash rate crashed
- 36:16because the majority of Bitcoin miners were located in mainland
- 36:20China and the CCP made it illegal for you to mine Bitcoin
- 36:26and mainland China. I believe this was a major
- 36:28reason as to why Bitcoin did not hit 100K last cycle.
- 36:33I think it was attacked on a nation state level and there's a
- 36:37direct correlation between the price of Bitcoin and the crash
- 36:41of the hash rate. As the hash rate recovered, you
- 36:45know Bitcoin broke all time highs again.
- 36:47But more importantly, it survived a nation state attack.
- 36:51It decentralized the hash ray in the process and the hash ray is
- 36:55literally going parabolic. It shows no signs of slowing
- 37:01down. So all those people that are
- 37:03bullish on the future of Bitcoin continue to invest a large sum
- 37:07of money into the infrastructure that is required to mine
- 37:10Bitcoin. So, I mean, that's a really,
- 37:12really good sign. Also on another side, and I
- 37:15think this plays into the narrative by Naimbu Kele and by
- 37:21Michael Saylor, is that Bitcoin is just a superior asset.
- 37:25It's not even at all time highs. But if you've been saving in
- 37:29Bitcoin, the US dollar is actually 90% cheaper than it was
- 37:34five years ago. The oil is 85% cheaper.
- 37:39If you've been holding Bitcoin for five years, gold is 80 gold.
- 37:43That's that's to you. Peter Schiff is 84% cheaper.
- 37:47The S&P 500 is 84% cheaper. If you've been holding, if
- 37:51you've been saving a Bitcoin for the last five years.
- 37:53Even housing prices in the US, they've doubled since they
- 37:56printed that record amount of money.
- 37:59Still, housing prices, if you've been saving in Bitcoin, are
- 38:02actually 77% cheaper than they were a couple of years ago.
- 38:09OK, now here's the other component, which is Bitcoin
- 38:12supply. This is the first time this has
- 38:14really happened in Bitcoin's history.
- 38:17Bitcoin supply in active for a year, So what happens right?
- 38:21So 70% of Bitcoin supply doesn't move and at the same time you
- 38:27have these massive institutions coming in announcing ETFs, you
- 38:32have Naimbu Kale strategy being proven right on the nation state
- 38:36level and you have Michael Saylor strategy being proven
- 38:39right on the public company level.
- 38:42You have the perfect storm of events and I think that is what
- 38:47is causing this crazy crazy price to run up the way it's run
- 38:52up. So.
- 38:54So before the having right here is the rational route who has
- 38:58done a great job covering this right.
- 39:01And he has these, he has these graphics that point out right.
- 39:05So usually what happens during the run UPS is a lot of people
- 39:09sell their Bitcoin. You could see that, right.
- 39:11So percent of supply last active for the last year, right.
- 39:16And of course it kind of dumps on the run UPS.
- 39:18You saw that last happen in 2017.
- 39:21All this Bitcoin is being dumped but for the first time the
- 39:25percent of supply 70%, it's reaching an all time high.
- 39:31We've never been in this type of situation in Bitcoin's history,
- 39:3770% of Bitcoin addresses of the Bitcoin has not moved in over a
- 39:42year. People are huddling crazy
- 39:45psychopaths, care about the propaganda, don't care about
- 39:48whatever Christine Lagarde is saying, and they're holding
- 39:51their Bitcoin and they don't wanna sell their Bitcoin, right?
- 39:54So this perfect storm of events is converging to create this
- 39:59very, very bullish environment. That I think, again, we don't
- 40:03speculate on simply Bitcoin. We don't, we don't make price
- 40:06predictions. We don't, we don't, we don't
- 40:07like to say where the price is going or anything like that.
- 40:11But you have Adam back who is literally calling for $700,000
- 40:16Bitcoin. You have Samsung Mao who's
- 40:18calling for $1,000,000 Bitcoin. I don't know if it's going to
- 40:21get there, but those are crazy, crazy price predictions, bro.
- 40:25Those are crazy, crazy numbers. And if you actually look at the
- 40:28data, if you look at the information behind the scenes, I
- 40:33mean is it really that crazy, right?
- 40:35If if the if the total amount of Bitcoin that's being sold, the
- 40:40cell pressure gets cut in half during the halving, 70% of
- 40:44holders are not selling, the hash rate continues to go
- 40:47parabolic. I mean is it not creating a
- 40:50perfect storm? I think we're so jaded from the
- 40:53last bull market US, you know, US class of 2016, class of 2017
- 40:58bitcoiners that I think we we're a little bit nihilistic.
- 41:02I think we have a little bit of PTSD.
- 41:05So anyways, is the diminishing returns theory going to be
- 41:08broken this cycle? My vote is that yes it will, it
- 41:11will be broken this cycle. If it doesn't get broken this
- 41:14cycle, you're looking at a $70,000 Bitcoin.
- 41:17I don't know. Anyways, Andre, what are your
- 41:20thoughts on this? Is Adam back being too bullish?
- 41:24Well, you made a mistake by it's.
- 41:26It's going to be 700 K Buy Bitcoin Atlantis, not the whole
- 41:29thing. So no, just joking, man.
- 41:34I don't know. Bitcoin is unpredictable.
- 41:38It feels like it's it's it's going to break to the upside.
- 41:42So if I had to vote, I would vote.
- 41:46It's not going to be diminishing returns this time.
- 41:50But you know, I've all bets are off.
- 41:54You know what matters again is the long term and that I know
- 41:58it's I I bet everything I have that's going to be way, way more
- 42:04than it is today. So, you know, just calmly living
- 42:07my life and working on it until it comes.
- 42:10Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think long term, extremely
- 42:13bullish. No one knows.
- 42:14I think that's a really good point by Andre and I want to
- 42:17emphasize that enough. No one knows what the price of
- 42:19Bitcoin is going to do tomorrow. A year from now, everyone could
- 42:23just kind of guess. I know that Mandrick, for
- 42:25example, he made a very famous bet.
- 42:28He made the bet that Bitcoin was going to break 40K by the end of
- 42:32the year. Who's going to eat vegetables
- 42:34for the rest of the year? And then Mandrick hit the nail
- 42:36on the head. But as Mandrick pointed out, he
- 42:38was like, I was totally guessing.
- 42:40I made, you know, that was a total guess.
- 42:42And I think that's essentially anyone who is drawing lines and
- 42:46making price predictions. What you're really doing, maybe
- 42:49you can make, maybe you can make the statement that you're We're
- 42:52making educated guesses, but at the end of the day, no one knows
- 42:56whether this is going to go up or down tomorrow.
- 42:58But I do know. American Hotel also lost the bet
- 43:01with the Peter McCormick, right? They said it would be 300 K but
- 43:06there was the last bull cycle was very manipulated as well.
- 43:10We all know now that FTX and others were playing around and
- 43:14doing bullshit in the background selling Bitcoin that they didn't
- 43:17have. And actually that's also in part
- 43:20why I don't make any educated guess on on the Bitcoin price,
- 43:25because I think those that stuff is not good.
- 43:28It's not still going away for for sure and on on every there's
- 43:32still a lot of bad stuff happening in the in the
- 43:36background, a lot of manipulation that can also
- 43:38happen with the FTFS and ETFs and all of that.
- 43:41So there's a lot of bullshit to clear before the price really
- 43:47runs up and and goes holistic in my.
- 43:50View 100% Opti. What's your take on all this,
- 43:52brother? Yeah, well first and foremost,
- 43:56I'm glad you said that is all price speculation and no one
- 43:59knows where the price is actually going.
- 44:01All we really know is 21 million hard caps.
- 44:03Censorship resistant money. We know that the Fiat world has
- 44:07to continue to print money. As the meme goes, you know,
- 44:11infinite Fiat dollars divided by 21 million.
- 44:14It means number is going up. It's going up forever.
- 44:17So this all just kind of culminates into what we've been
- 44:22saying for a while. And you know, this year has been
- 44:24one of those years where we've been following naive bukelly.
- 44:27We've been following Michael Saylor.
- 44:29And you know, maybe they aren't fully vindicated on a corporate
- 44:34and a nation state level, but at least to us Bitcoiners, we know
- 44:37that they're right and they will continue to be right.
- 44:40And the more the price goes up, up, the more more people will
- 44:44wake up to this being a viable solution.
- 44:47And I tweeted this morning like Bitcoin being smaller than
- 44:51corporations or countries, balance sheet right now just
- 44:55shows how early we are in this game because Bitcoin is bigger
- 44:58than any one company, any one country.
- 45:01It's bigger than every one of us individuals out here.
- 45:04But what we do know is that you cannot make more Bitcoin and
- 45:08we're seeing that the world is is actively starting to drop
- 45:14U.S. Treasuries which is currently
- 45:16though you know the safest risk off asset in the world.
- 45:20So we're seeing that everyone is looking for a solution, or
- 45:24rather something to store their value.
- 45:26Flight to quality. Up.
- 45:27It's a flight to quality and we're seeing it happen in real
- 45:30time. And you know, I know in 2020 we
- 45:34didn't really see a blow off top.
- 45:37And we also kind of had at the same time like that whole
- 45:40GameStop thing happened and all those people were speculating in
- 45:43Stonks. Well, you know, I just can't
- 45:45wait till they all wake up to the realization that Bitcoin is
- 45:49that real. Bet you know Bitcoin is that
- 45:51real GameStop and it is the Occupy Wall Street.
- 45:55It's the real Occupy Wall Street.
- 45:57And so we're going to see that. I think this cycle, I've been
- 46:02saying it all year, we're seeing a perfect storm for Bitcoin.
- 46:06We're seeing that the flight to quality is happening.
- 46:09We're seeing U.S. Treasuries, you know they're,
- 46:12we're seeing people drop them. We're seeing BRIC nations start
- 46:16to move away from the dollar. We're seeing inflation go higher
- 46:21than ever. And I just remember when I got
- 46:23in 2017, like everyone and their mother was talking about
- 46:26Bitcoin, it was, it was really a drive by retail.
- 46:30And now we're seeing that the biggest institution, asset
- 46:34manager of the world are going to not only get bullish on
- 46:38Bitcoin, but they're going to be educating everyone out there
- 46:40about Bitcoin. Like, in my opinion, and I've
- 46:42been saying this for a while and hence why I'm kind of trolling
- 46:45Nico right now. It's like we got him.
- 46:47I I don't know if this is the cycle that we see diminishing
- 46:51returns end, but I do know there will be a point where Bitcoin
- 46:57becomes the monetary asset. And once corporate treasuries go
- 47:03fully into Bitcoin, once nation states go fully into Bitcoin,
- 47:07once quote UN quote, the smart money drops treasuries U.S.
- 47:11Treasuries and they start going into Bitcoin once Bitcoin starts
- 47:15milking some of the real state, you know, store a value.
- 47:21And then once we get that feedback loop of everyone
- 47:23talking about Bitcoin and we see retail start to FOMO into
- 47:26Bitcoin as the price goes up, like I think we are all totally
- 47:31underestimating how high the price will go.
- 47:34And it really all boils down to just Bitcoin fundamentals.
- 47:39A hard capped currency, hard capped monetary asset that is
- 47:43censorship resistant, that you truly control, that is private
- 47:47property that no one can take from you.
- 47:49Like I don't think we are bullish enough and I and I say
- 47:52it all the time, like my fatal flaw is that I'm too bullish.
- 47:55I get, I get overly bullish all the time and once the price
- 47:58starts to pump, I I get even more stupidly bullish.
- 48:01And you know, I remember 2017 or rather maybe it was 2020 when my
- 48:06favorite bitcoiners, the O GS out there where you all get
- 48:09caught up in the same thing like this is hyper bitcoinization.
- 48:12It's happening. But we are in hyper
- 48:14bitcoinization right now and it's a slow process.
- 48:17You know, like this year I was thinking about it over the
- 48:19weekend. You know, I I kind of have a
- 48:21cold, I don't know if you guys can hear it.
- 48:23I was kind of dying, you know, and and just like I, I unplugged
- 48:27from Twitter and I wasn't feeling that good And then you
- 48:31know Bitcoin, I I think it was either it's like my brother or
- 48:34something. He texts me, he's like yo,
- 48:35bitcoins over 40K. And I just kind of sat there and
- 48:38was like wow, you know, Bitcoin. I think today it's like Bitcoin
- 48:42has something like 150% returns this year.
- 48:45But throughout the year it's been a slow grind.
- 48:48Like you know, there was days when it was up, there was days
- 48:51when it's down and we didn't really realize how good of
- 48:54returns we got this year because it was just like in the
- 48:57day-to-day grind. We're like Oh my God, here we
- 49:00are, we're still in a bear market and I think we're going
- 49:02to see this continue moving into the next year.
- 49:05I don't know if we will see a huge price rise going into the
- 49:09halving, you know, 100K by the halving.
- 49:11I'm I'm kind of leaning I'm kind of betting against Adam back on
- 49:15that point but but what do I know backs an OG and he's been
- 49:18here for a while but my only thing and and it's kind of the
- 49:21gradually then suddenly meme like we're going to gradually
- 49:25start to see Bitcoin climb. It's going to do these little
- 49:28climbs up and down. You know it's going to go up.
- 49:29It's going to go down and then before we know it it's going to
- 49:33be above all time high. It's going to finally get some
- 49:36escape velocity and it's going to go absolutely nuclear.
- 49:40And I'm just, I just keep thinking that once we finally
- 49:43get that like blow off top scenario that it could be
- 49:47sometimes when like it goes absolutely nuts again.
- 49:51All we really need is some very convicted deep pockets that
- 49:54never want to sell their Bitcoin.
- 49:56And this is never going down like I think we are, you know,
- 49:59we are human and we like to look at the past and we like to look
- 50:03at patterns and there will be a point.
- 50:06Maybe it's not this cycle, maybe it's next cycle where Bitcoin,
- 50:09what's this? What's the meme?
- 50:10You know, Bitcoin breaks all your models and it's just like
- 50:13there's escape velocity. It goes up and it doesn't
- 50:16necessarily follow the same like, OK, every four year cycle
- 50:20it's going to go up and then it's going to come back and
- 50:22correct. Maybe there's a time when it
- 50:24just keeps going up and then eventually there's a correction.
- 50:27But is it this time? Is it next time?
- 50:31I don't know. All I know is that 21 million
- 50:34hard cap censorship resistant money is where we're going.
- 50:38We're not going to go to gold, digital money for Digital World.
- 50:41And when you show the numbers of how many people are huddling
- 50:45their Bitcoin and how many people understand what they're
- 50:47holding, again, it's just a perfect storm.
- 50:50Because what are you going to do?
- 50:51You're going to sell your Bitcoin to get more Fiat?
- 50:54Like that's absolutely stupid once you understand what you're
- 50:56holding. It's not necessarily about the
- 50:58Fiat games. Yes, the increase in purchasing
- 51:00power is absolutely incredible. It feels great to know that your
- 51:04life is getting cheaper, but but you're not going to go back to
- 51:08dollars once you understand what is going on here.
- 51:10And I really do think that this bear market, the groundwork for
- 51:14Bitcoin. Only the education levels, the
- 51:17the amount of interest we're going to get.
- 51:20I think we are getting set up for something that is just it's
- 51:24going to break the old patterns and people are going to
- 51:27understand, wow, I need to hold on to this Bitcoin.
- 51:29It's not about getting more dollars.
- 51:31And I just saw that dumb money again.
- 51:32I hate to reference GameStop twice in this, but I just saw
- 51:36the movie Dumb Dumb Money, and it goes back to what US
- 51:40bitcoiners say all the time. You know, what do we say?
- 51:43Fix the money, fix the world. It's not about the gangs.
- 51:45It's about the revolution. And I think there's more people
- 51:48out there that understand that, yo, this system is completely
- 51:52rigged. It is broken.
- 51:54Or rather, it is working exactly as intended for the big guys and
- 52:00US average everyday people, the little people.
- 52:01The Coinbase ad did it perfectly.
- 52:04Exactly. And the fact that they use that
- 52:06just shows that the sentiment or the zeitgeist of the world right
- 52:10now is people understand, yo, there is something fatally
- 52:13broken here. There's something wrong with the
- 52:15system and it's really it's kind of the joker meme, you know,
- 52:18it's not it's not about the money.
- 52:20It's about making a point. And I think more people have
- 52:23that same feeling. They just don't understand that
- 52:25Bitcoin is the solution. That Bitcoin is that asset that
- 52:28literally will change the future of humanity.
- 52:32And here we are on the front lines that we get an opportunity
- 52:34to stack Bitcoin under all time high like it's hold on, wait
- 52:37wait wait. I need to do this for you Nico.
- 52:42It's fucking. Awesome.
