Transcript
- 0:00We're all excited about Bitcoin hitting a new all time high, but
- 0:02what if I told you that this rise might be scarier than you
- 0:06think? It may mean Lambos and vacations
- 0:09for some, but for many, it means that the market is anticipating
- 0:14a money printing event in a big way.
- 0:16Today, I'm going to break down why Bitcoin's price rise might
- 0:19be the beginning of tough times ahead.
- 0:23Stick around to the end of this video and find out why being
- 0:25bullish might actually be bearish imotions.
- 0:29This is beyond Bitcoin. Let's dive in.
- 0:37All time highs always feel good. You wake up 1 morning and see
- 0:40that price ripping, getting texts from friends.
- 0:42Like damn I should have listened to you.
- 0:45And you think about how much closer you are to reaching
- 0:47escape velocity. But this price doesn't come
- 0:50without a cost. You probably know this already
- 0:53because you keep up with all the Bitcoin news, right?
- 0:56You better, but we are in the age of money printing.
- 0:59Did you know that 80% of all dollars in existence were
- 1:01printed in the last five years? You probably knew that, right?
- 1:04You better. The dollar is inflating at a
- 1:06rapid pace and we have a limited time to get on the Bitcoin
- 1:09train. So you can say that as Bitcoin
- 1:11rises in value and hits new all time highs, it's almost like
- 1:15Bitcoin tracks inflation. Florida State.
- 1:18So as these prices rise in Bitcoin and it makes its new all
- 1:21time highs, It means that on the back end that more and more
- 1:24dollars are being printed or are in anticipation of being
- 1:28printed. The higher Bitcoin goes, the
- 1:30more of an indicator we are getting debased and the speed in
- 1:33which that is happening. You know what else bitcoins new
- 1:35all time high tells us about the state of the economy.

- 2:11Go to sat123.com. OK, so let me tell you what I
- 2:15think bitcoins new all time high tells US1 we are going to get
- 2:18the base faster. When bitcoins hitting new all
- 2:21time highs starts to happen more and more frequently, it's an
- 2:24indicator of the speed of the print.
- 2:26Don't it just feel like a print is coming?
- 2:282 If more printing is coming, what does it mean for the people
- 2:31who don't hold their own keys? What does it mean for the no
- 2:34quarters? It could be the beginnings of an
- 2:36accelerated loss in the quality of life when it becomes too
- 2:39expensive for shelter or clean food.
- 2:42Money is broken, class systems arise, and freedom becomes
- 2:45expensive. But I'm getting off topic.
- 2:47Here's a Michael Saylor clip while I gather my thoughts.
- 2:51The problem starts with continually changing the
- 2:55definition of the Market Basket. But in my opinion, that's not
- 3:00the biggest problem. The more the more egregious
- 3:05problem is the the fundamental idea that assets aren't products
- 3:10or services. Assets can't be inflated.
- 3:14What's an asset? A house, a share of Apple stock,
- 3:19a bond, a Bitcoin is an asset. Or a Picasso painting so.
- 3:28Not a consumable good. Not a not not not an apple that
- 3:33you can eat. Right.
- 3:35If I throw away an asset then I'm not on the hook to track the
- 3:40inflation rate for it. So what happens if I change the
- 3:43policy such that let's let's take the classic example,
- 3:47$1,000,000 bond at a 5% interest rate gives you $50,000 a year in
- 3:51risk free income. You might retire on $50,000 a
- 3:55year in a low cost jurisdiction. So the cost of Social Security
- 4:00or early retirement is $1 million when the interest rate
- 4:03is 5%. During the the crisis of March
- 4:07of 2020, the interest rate went on a 10 year bond went to 50
- 4:10basis points. So now the cost of that bond is
- 4:14$10 million. OK.
- 4:17The cost of Social Security went from $1,000,000 to $10 million.
- 4:21So if you wanted to work your entire life, save money and then
- 4:25retire risk free and live happily ever after on a $50,000
- 4:29salary living on a beach in Mexico, wherever you wanted to
- 4:32go, you had hyperinflation. The cost of your aspiration
- 4:37increased by a factor of 10 over the course of, you know, some
- 4:41amount of time. In fact, in that case, that was
- 4:44like over the course of about 12 years, right?
- 4:46As the inflation rate ground down, the asset traded up.
- 4:51But the, you know, the conventional view is, oh, that's
- 4:55not a problem because it's good that that assets, that it's good
- 4:58that the bond is highly priced because we own the bond or what?
- 5:03What's the problem with the inflation rate in housing being
- 5:0619%? It's an awful problem for a 22
- 5:10year old that's starting their first job, that's saving money
- 5:13to buy a house. But it would be characterized as
- 5:17a benefit to society by a conventional economist who would
- 5:20say, well, housing asset values are higher because of interest
- 5:25rate fluctuation, and now the economy's got more wealth.
- 5:28Buying Bitcoin today means you have a money that matches up
- 5:31with the rate of inflation, not what the federal funds rate says
- 5:34the inflation rate is. Bitcoin is an inflation meter,
- 5:37if you will, forever ticking upward.
- 5:39If you think about it, the Fiat price continuing to climb will
- 5:42bring prosperity to few but well health to many.
- 5:46And the more you get into Bitcoin the more you stay into
- 5:49Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a one way Rd. with
- 5:52off ramps. If you had the human race doing
- 5:54stuff and if you ask the question how much more
- 5:59efficiently will we do the stuff next year than this year or how,
- 6:02what's the value of all of our innovations and inventions and
- 6:07investments in the past 12 months, you'd be hard pressed to
- 6:10say we get 2% better. Typical investor thinks they
- 6:16they're 10% better every year. So if you look at what's going
- 6:20on, really when you're holding $1,000,000 of stocks and you're
- 6:24getting a 10% gain a year, you really get a 7% expansion of the
- 6:28money supply. You're getting a 2 or 3% gain
- 6:32under best circumstances. And another way to say that is
- 6:38if the money supply stopped expanding at 7% a year, the S&P
- 6:41yield might be 3% and not 10%. It probably should be.
- 6:47Now that that that gets you to start to ask a bunch of other
- 6:50fundamental questions like if I borrow a billion dollars and pay
- 6:543% interest and the money supply expands at 7 to 10% a year and I
- 7:01ended up making a 10% return on a, you know, billion dollar
- 7:05investment paying 3% interest. Is that fair?
- 7:08And who, who, who suffered so that I could do that?
- 7:12Because in an environment where you're just inflating the money
- 7:16supply and you're holding the assets constant, it stands to
- 7:20reason that the price of all the assets is going to appreciate
- 7:25somewhat proportional to the money supply.
- 7:28And the difference in asset appreciation is going to be a
- 7:31function of the scarce desirable quality of the assets.
- 7:34And to what extent can I make more of them?
- 7:37And to what extent are they? Are they truly limited in
- 7:41supply? If you're not in Bitcoin, an all
- 7:44time high could mean that you're getting deeper and deeper into
- 7:47debt. Bitcoin might be the only thing
- 7:49that could pull you out of it. Higher Bitcoin prices means
- 7:53higher inflation, which means higher chances of war, poverty
- 7:56and corruption. A widening of the wealth gap.
- 7:59There will be more concentration of wealth in the hands of the
- 8:02few, but maybe, just maybe, the pie will grow, Bitcoin gets
- 8:06adopted, and the wealth will spread.
- 8:08Buy some Bitcoin, study Bitcoin, do what you got to do.
