- 0:00Today is CPI day and everyone is asking is the four year Bitcoin
- 0:04cycle about to hit, crushing the markets and the Bitcoin price?
- 0:08Or is the breakout just getting started?
- 0:11Here's what's different this time.
- 0:12We've never had raging institutional Bitcoin adoption,
- 0:16nation states loading up on Bitcoin, and the Fed is on the
- 0:20edge of flipping from rate hikes to a string of historic cuts.
- 0:25If those cuts hit in September, after Bitcoin already survived
- 0:29to the most restricted financial environment in its history,
- 0:32we're talking napalm on a bonfire, the death of the four
- 0:38year cycle possible, a prolonged super cycle on the table.
- 0:42And with Powell's replacement coming in 2026 and Trump pushing
- 0:46for massive rate cuts, we might be starting a liftoff event like
- 0:50Bitcoin has never seen. So strap in, this is Sophie with
- 0:54Bitcoin. Simply, let's go breaking news.
- 1:02CPI just dropped and July inflation came in at 2.7%.
- 1:07That's lower than the 2.8% that the market was expecting.
- 1:10And you know what that means? the Fed just got the green light
- 1:13to start cutting rates in September.
- 1:15Yep, cuts in September are still on. the Fed just got more
- 1:19confidence to open the liquidity tops.
- 1:21Short term, this is bullish for risk assets, especially Bitcoin.
- 1:25Meanwhile, whales are already taking advantage.
- 1:28David Bailey is literally buying $760 million worth of Bitcoin
- 1:33today and the market dips. Idiots handing over their
- 1:37Bitcoin to whales and institutions.
- 1:40For the love of God please stop feeding the whales.
- 1:44Now let's talk about the fight breaking out over the four year
- 1:47cycle. Historically it's been simple,
- 1:49having bull run, crash, slow recovery, next having repeat or
- 1:56green, green, green, red if you so prefer.
- 1:59But this time the buyers aren't just retail FOMO.
- 2:02We've got ETFs, treasuries, sovereign wealth funds, 4, O1,
- 2:06KS and pensions. All buying these types of things
- 2:10are white. Not only Pierre Rashard and Tom
- 2:13Lee, but also Bitwise CIO Matthew Hogan is also saying the
- 2:18four year cycle is done. Four year cycle.
- 2:23Is it over? Yeah, it's over.
- 2:27OK, hold on. Explain Well, I mean, so, so my
- 2:30view of the four year cycle is you have a catalyst that brings
- 2:33new pools of capital in so 2011 it was the launch of Coinbase
- 2:36retail investors could buy Bitcoin new capital then
- 2:39leverage builds up and eventually it pops. 2015 the
- 2:42introduction of Ethereum 2019 D 5/20/23 it was Grayscale winning
- 2:47its lawsuit in March against the SEC.
- 2:49We're going to get ETFs bringing in capital.
- 2:52The reason I, I think it's probably not going to play out
- 2:55over 4 years is a, I think that's a longer inflow of
- 2:59capital than retail hot ball of money, which is the past three.
- 3:04And then secondly, we have yet another of those catalysts in
- 3:07November, which is the election completely changing the game in
- 3:11terms of institutional adoption. So even if the ETF driven cycle
- 3:16would have built up, leveraged and popped and receded, we have
- 3:19this second tidal wave that's just so much bigger than that
- 3:22first one, it's going to overwhelm it.
- 3:24So will there be, you know, pull backs?
- 3:26We're seeing one now as leverage comes out of the system, of
- 3:29course, but the election was such a sea change that it's like
- 3:34it doesn't matter. Yes, there may be this, this,
- 3:37this natural thing, but it's just going to get bulldozed
- 3:40over. That doesn't mean we've repealed
- 3:43pull backs, but I think this cycle is going to be much longer
- 3:46than people think. I definitely don't think this
- 3:48pull back is the end. I think 2025 will be a great
- 3:51year. I think 2026 will be a great
- 3:53year. I think 2027 will be a great
- 3:55year and we'll see about 2028. Max Keiser says I'll do you one
- 4:00better. How about the age of central
- 4:02banks is over for the next 500 years?
- 4:06Can you? Explain what you mean.
- 4:08Sure, of course I can explain what I mean.
- 4:10You have a world where the train is leaving the station.
- 4:16You know, Bitcoin is changed everything fundamentally and
- 4:21those with coin or the coiners versus those without coins, the
- 4:25no coiners, there will be a split in, in in the world and
- 4:29society and we won't be looking at the world in terms of nation
- 4:33states anymore. I think the nation state becomes
- 4:35passe or disintermediated. Central banks are obliterated,
- 4:40and you have the global tribe of millions of Bitcoiners who have
- 4:46all the money, and then they'll be everybody else who doesn't
- 4:49have. They'll just be living in a
- 4:51different reality. And that template will be set
- 4:55for 500 years because Bitcoin is perfect money, and it's taken a
- 4:59million years to get to Bitcoin. We finally achieved it, and now
- 5:04it's a day of reckoning. If you have no coin, you'll
- 5:07probably be living in the equivalent of hell.
- 5:11If you have coin, you will be living in heaven.
- 5:13And the truth is, the halving might be the spark, but global
- 5:17liquidity is the oxygen. With rate cuts on deck and
- 5:20global demand surging, we might not see brutal bear markets
- 5:24anymore, just consolidation in a bigger super trend up.
- 5:27As Michael Saylor said, winter is cancelled. 0 or 1000 to 20
- 5:33and then back down to three or four and then up to 50 and then
- 5:36back down to 15 and now up to 110.
- 5:39Like when does it drop again? Winners not coming back, we're
- 5:44past that. We're past that phase.
- 5:46If bitcoins not going to 0, it's going to $1,000,000.
- 5:50And you have all the evidence you need to determine that,
- 5:53right? The president of the United
- 5:54States has determined he supports Bitcoin, the cabinet
- 5:57supports Bitcoin. Scott Peasant supports Bitcoin.
- 6:01Paul Atkins has shown himself to be an enthusiastic believer of
- 6:05Bitcoin and digital assets. Ken Taz at CFTC feels the same.
- 6:10Ray the The banks are going to custody Bitcoin.
- 6:14Bitcoin is has gotten through its riskiest period.
- 6:19The accounting has been corrected.
- 6:21There's now only 450 Bitcoin a day available for Sale by
- 6:24natural sellers. That's the miners.
- 6:27At this level, that works out to about $50 million of Bitcoin
- 6:30available for sale every day. If that $50 million is bought,
- 6:35then the price has got to move up to find any natural, any, any
- 6:39seller that's price sensitive. Now, if you do the math, you'll
- 6:43actually see the Bitcoin treasury companies by themselves
- 6:46for buying the entire natural supply.
- 6:48Yeah, BlackRock and the ETFs are buying another measure of that,
- 6:54and we've got nation state actors coming into the space.
- 6:58So I think when Bitcoin rallies, if it surges to 500,000 or
- 7:03$1,000,000, then maybe we could talk about it crashing down by a
- 7:07$200,000 a coin. But at the current price levels,
- 7:11it only takes $50,000,000 to turn the entire drive shaft of
- 7:15the crypto economy. One turn and you've got the
- 7:18Trump Media Organization announcing 2 1/2 billion.
- 7:22You've got GameStop announcing 500 million.
- 7:24You've got my company that's raising billions and billions of
- 7:28dollars. So the writing is on the wall.
- 7:30Bitcoins moving higher. Let's take a quick look at the
- 7:33scoreboard this morning. Metaplanet just bought 518 more
- 7:37Bitcoin, now holding 18,113 Bitcoin passing Trump Media
- 7:43Norway's sovereign wealth fund boosted Bitcoin exposure up 192%
- 7:48this year to 7161. Bitcoin in Michael Saylor's
- 7:53strategy is now sitting on $30 billion of unrealized profit, 42
- 7:58times Michael Bury's Big Short win.
- 8:01Oh, and Fox Business says trillions could flow into
- 8:04Bitcoin as major banks open trading.
- 8:07Trillions of dollars in assets under management and registered
- 8:11reps all over the country. Financial advisors can now put
- 8:15people in Bitcoin. We knew it was going to make it
- 8:17go up. We knew the Trump administration
- 8:19was basically friendly to crypto.
- 8:22This was such an inevitable move.
- 8:24That's why it's gone higher now. That's probably why it's going
- 8:27to continue to go higher because Bank of America, for example,
- 8:30the biggest bank, has not yet made that decision.
- 8:33And they are bound to. Whale addresses with over 100
- 8:37Bitcoin new all time high. They're scooping like it's an
- 8:40all you can eat SAP buffet. So while the institutions are

- 10:04the Fed is about to go from the most aggressive hiking cycle in
- 10:07decades to a string of cuts. Trump's economic team is already
- 10:12talking historic cuts once Powell is gone.
- 10:15That's rocket fuel after Bitcoin has nearly doubled from its last
- 10:19cycle without any rate cuts. Jason Pizzino says $340,000
- 10:24Bitcoin this cycle would break history.
- 10:27And while it's a big ask, it's not insane.
- 10:29That's a $6.7 trillion market cap, still less than 1/3 of
- 10:34gold. And over the past five years,
- 10:36Bitcoin has crushed every asset class with a 58% compound annual
- 10:42growth rate. Let's wrap with the massive
- 10:44shift happening right now. Fingers crossed the reverse
- 10:47Kramer effect is not in effect here.
- 10:49And yes, that Kramer now says that Bitcoin can survive the
- 10:53financial Armageddon. Jim, Bitcoins on the move today.
- 10:56A lot of the crypto stocks as well.
- 10:59We're not quite back to 123K. Just continues to be any time
- 11:04you ever hear about what size the the deficit is or David, you
- 11:08know that the trillions of dollars in the interest has made
- 11:11a lot of younger people feel you know this and Ethereum are a
- 11:14better place to be. I'm a huge believer in this, by
- 11:17the way, because I have very little faith that we're going to
- 11:19be able to grow our way out of. I cannot think about what's how
- 11:22we're going to grow our way out of our situation yet.
- 11:24Maybe. You mean?
- 11:26Our our debt to GDP I've. Not I've not been able to figure
- 11:29out a way. So it's a great hedge against
- 11:32the IT. Conceivably is if there is.
- 11:34But if there's financial Armageddon, Bitcoin hangs in
- 11:38there. You think?
- 11:39Yeah, I do. Jack Dorsey's Block is launching
- 11:41a full stack Bitcoin banking suite.
- 11:44Blue Origin is taking Bitcoin for space travel, literally to
- 11:48the moon. They still have to get to orbit,
- 11:50so there's that. But hey, it's something nations,
- 11:53corporations and Wales are buying faster than miners can
- 11:56produce. Today's CPI number could be the
- 11:58match that lights the most explosive Bitcoin breakout in
- 12:02history. The four year cycles may or may
- 12:04not be dead. We'll find out likely between
- 12:07September and November. But Bitcoin ceiling, which
- 12:10actually doesn't exist, just got a whole lot higher.
