  If you're wondering why I'm not wearing any jewelry right now,
• 0:02
  it's because I sold it all. Just kidding.
• 0:06
  But if I were less vain than maybe I would because silver
• 0:09
  just ripped to a brand new all time high over the weekend in
• 0:13
  Bitcoin. Still going side to side and not
• 0:17
  in the fun Ariana Grande type of way.
• 0:19
  If you know, you know. So why is money flooding into
• 0:22
  gold and silver while the price of Bitcoin is stuck?
• 0:26
  Well, today I'll be discussing something that happened very
• 0:29
  recently which may have exposed a warning sign most people are
• 0:33
  missing. One that could explain what's
• 0:36
  really happening under the surface and why this setup could
• 0:39
  be pointing straight to 2026. Silver spot prices have been
• 0:45
  super volatile lately, recently trading in the low to mid $70
• 0:49
  per oz and skyrocketing to highs near 80 to $84, surpassing
• 0:55
  NVIDIA as the second most valuable asset in the world.
• 0:59
  It's come back off these extreme highs a little, but it's still
• 1:03
  up 150% this year, which is way more than we can say for
• 1:07
  Bitcoin. Historically, when you see
• 1:09
  prices move of that magnitude to the upside, you will see margin
• 1:12
  required be raised by these exchanges.
• 1:14
  By the way, it wasn't just silver, Another part of it was
• 1:17
  there were a lot of $75 calls and silver that were exercised
• 1:21
  on Friday. People that were short those
• 1:22
  calls needed to cover that took the price to 82 the.
• 1:25
  Kobe C letter calls it absolute insanity and silver right now
• 1:29
  and the catalyst could be a bank collapse, Larry Leppard tweeted.
• 1:34
  Perhaps silver is the Lehman moment of the cycle.
• 1:38
  Calling it right here. 10% in one day on record volume is a
• 1:42
  liquidation event. Something just broke.
• 1:45
  Rumors are circulating that a systemically important bank.
• 1:49
  I just, I got a laugh because no bank is actually really that
• 1:54
  important when you have Bitcoin. But anyway, a systemically
• 1:57
  important bank involved in silver Futures Trading failed to
• 2:01
  pay its margin call and was liquidated by a futures
• 2:05
  exchange. According to Grok, the bank in
• 2:07
  question appears to be JP Morgan Chase, linked to a $4.8 billion
• 2:12
  loss in silver futures and a failed margin call on December
• 2:16
  27, 2025, just a few days ago. Though some of the circumstances
• 2:20
  surrounding the silver price action remain unconfirmed, what
• 2:24
  is obvious to many observers is a fragile marketplace creaking
• 2:28
  under pressure of too much leverage and not enough risk
• 2:31
  management. In a blistering tweet, Kat
• 2:34
  Stryker drops this hot take. Silver is the first domino
• 2:38
  because of how broken the system behind it really is.
• 2:41
  This isn't about 1 stock or one metal, it's about a system
• 2:45
  that's been running on fumes for a long time.
• 2:49
  This is something Bitcoiners have been calling out for a long
• 2:52
  time. Fiat money only works as long as
• 2:55
  people believe in it, and people are losing confidence.
• 2:58
  So when that confidence fades, people run towards the things
• 3:02
  that actually exists in real life have tangible value.
• 3:05
  How you know real assets and what we're seeing now isn't the
• 3:09
  beginning, it's the moment that the illusion has started to.
• 3:13
  And she's not the only one that sees the problem with the Fiat
• 3:17
  system and how Bitcoin fixes this.
• 3:19
  Fred Krueger describes 2 scenarios. 1 the precious metal
• 3:23
  story grows and Bitcoin is next. Or two, the silver bubble
• 3:27
  collapses and capital reflows into Bitcoin.
• 3:31
  Either way, Bitcoin fixes this. And you know what else needs
• 3:34
  fixing? Online privacy.
• 3:35
  This is my data broker report. 11 pages.
• 3:38
  They know every old address I've lived, dad phone numbers, family
• 3:41
  members, even what kind of car I drive.
• 3:43

• 3:54
  selling your info and gets them to take it down and keeps it off

• 4:31
  But now let's talk about protecting your generational
• 4:33
  wealth because stacking SAS gets a whole lot easier when your
• 4:36
  miners are working for you and not against you.
• 4:38
  Would you mind Bitcoin if it was as easy as buying it?
• 4:40
  Then you should check out SAS Mining.
• 4:42
  It's not host mining, it's mining as a service that
• 4:45
  actually puts bitcoiners first. You can own a state-of-the-art
• 4:48
  mining rig, plug into affordable carbon free energy and stack
• 4:52
  Bitcoin just like Satoshi. No middle men, no markups, and
• 4:56
  no worries. SAS doesn't tack on extra fees
• 4:59
  when you sign up and unlike other companies there are no rig
• 5:02
  up charges or inflated power rates.
• 5:04
  Their entire business model is based on a clean and simple
• 5:07
  revenue share. They only earn Bitcoin if you
• 5:10
  are too. A total alignment of incentives
• 5:12
  and 100 percent bitcoiner values.
• 5:14
  While some claim simplicity, SAS mining proves it.
• 5:17
  Let's just say that if you need a compass to find your miners,
• 5:19
  you're not in the right place. This is how Bitcoin mining
• 5:22
  should have always been done. Visit sasmining.com or scan the

• 5:27
  Silver exposes systemic fragility more than most assets.
• 5:31
  Believe it or not. It's a signal that the long
• 5:33
  running illusion of unlimited supply and controllable prices
• 5:37
  is cracking under actual scarcity.
• 5:39
  I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with gold
• 5:42
  and silver as investments. I think that as a bitcoiner, we
• 5:46
  kind of have the same thesis. The thesis is there is
• 5:50
  completely uncontrolled levels of, of money printing going on
• 5:54
  and we want scarce assets and I think gold and silver garbage.
• 5:57
  Now, I can tell you as an investor, even though we have
• 6:01
  the same thesis, I believe that Bitcoin is a much more superior
• 6:04
  asset. Why is that?
• 6:05
  Because it's actually provably scarce.
• 6:07
  It is actually finite. And if there's any silver lining
• 6:11
  here, it's, you guessed it, Bitcoin.
• 6:15
  Unlike silver, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized, auditable
• 6:20
  Ledger with a cap supply of 21 million coins.
• 6:23
  No single entity can create more or hide inventories behind
• 6:27
  opaque paper contracts. It's scarcity is enforced by
• 6:31
  code, not policy or promises or personal interests.
• 6:35
  In simple terms, it's the debasement trade.
• 6:37
  And everyone has been talking about the debasement trade being
• 6:40
  the trade of the year. But what they don't know know is
• 6:43
  that they can mine more silver. They can issue more paper
• 6:46
  contracts on silver. They can dilute your holdings of
• 6:49
  silver even if you hold the physical asset.
• 6:52
  And the same thing goes for gold and real estate, but not so much
• 6:56
  with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a store value that
• 6:59
  can't be diluted by governments or institutions.
• 7:01
  It's easily auditable and verifiable, and it travels at
• 7:04
  the speed of light. That's why they call layer 2
• 7:06
  Lightning lightning payments. Maybe you didn't know that.
• 7:10
  Now you do. It's a better store of value by
• 7:12
  every single metric than shiny rocks.
• 7:14
  And in the end, it will win. Bitcoin is is a genuine store of
• 7:18
  value, it's supply limited. So I think in in next year is
• 7:22
  really when Bitcoin can sort of begin to recover and the 200,000
• 7:25
  level makes a lot of sense to. Me Before we wrap up the show,
• 7:28
  let's bring it home with a special message from our friends
• 7:30
  at Leaden. If you're stacking sats, you
• 7:33
  need Bitcoin back services you can trust.
• 7:35
  That's why we roll with Leaden, the global leader in Bitcoin,
• 7:39
  back to lending. Leaden has issued over $9
• 7:41
  billion in loans since 2018 and a perfect record of protecting
• 7:45
  client assets. Why is a let in loan different?
• 7:48
  Collateral is not lent out to generate interest.
• 7:50
  No credit checks, funds in 24 hours, no monthly payments,
• 7:54
  repay whenever you want. 0 penalties and their proof of
• 7:58
  reserves verified every six months keeps them transparent.

  Now let's wrap up the show. As cracks appear in the Fiat
• 8:15
  linked assets and over leveraged structures, capital has
• 8:19
  historically sought harder, more transparent alternatives and
• 8:23
  right now all roads are leading to Bitcoin.
• 8:26
  So what do you think? Is Bitcoin the silver bullet
• 8:29
  that will put an end to Fiat currency forever?
