Did President Trump Just Reveal His Strategic Bitcoin Plan? | Beyond Bitcoin · Simply Bitcoin

0:00
Have you seen Bitcoin's price recently?
0:02
Every time I check, it seems like we're climbing another one
0:05
to 2K. Suddenly there's a lot more
0:06
positive talk coming out of Washington, Regulatory clarity,
0:10
institutions becoming comfortable.
0:12
And with all this happening at the same time, it makes me
0:15
wonder, was this planned? And if so, where could it lead?
0:19
Stay with me here for a second. Is President Trump laying the
0:22
groundwork for Bitcoin to operate as a national currency
0:26
while the Federal Reserve quietly loses its relevance?
0:29
Emotions. This is beyond Bitcoin.
0:31
Let's go. As I said in the intro, have you
0:42
seen Bitcoin's price recently? Every time I check, it seems
0:45
like we're going up. Well, it's not much of a
0:47
surprise as earlier this week I made a video about all the
0:50
bullish news coming out of Bitcoin recently.
0:52
And while researching, something hit me.
0:55
Trump is clearly paving the way for Bitcoin, but to what extent?
0:59
Man, there's so much to get into.
1:00
But Washington has a flurry of positive Bitcoin news.
1:03
Trump is expecting a massive bull run in this market and him
1:07
and his cabinet are non-stop talking the Fed to the point
1:10
where Jerome Powell is receiving subpoenas.
1:12
If you're expecting this to be a prediction video, it's not that,
1:15
but it does point in this direction.
1:18
To me, it feels like Trump is secretly trying to make Bitcoin
1:21
a national security, and maybe 2026 is the year for that.
1:24
I mean, many of the signs are in place.
1:27
Crypto and to me it's an industry.
1:29
I view it as an industry and I'm president and if we didn't have
1:32
a China would or somebody else would, but most likely China,
1:34
China would love to and we've dominated that industry.
1:38
It's a big industry by the way. In fact, when the stock market
1:40
went down recently, crypto and Bitcoin and all of that went
1:43
down much less than anybody else as a group.
1:47
And we've created a very powerful industry and that's
1:50
much more important than anything that we invest in.
1:53
We we invest in it. But really that was an industry
1:56
that wasn't doing particularly well.
1:57
I got involved with it a couple of years ago and before this
2:01
toll, before the second term, I got involved before I decided to
2:06
run. I only decided to run because I
2:07
saw what was happening and Biden was incompetent and the
2:10
administration was crooked and incompetent and I was in Bitcoin
2:14
then not not knowing if I was going to do it a third time.
2:19
So it's become amazing. I mean, it's the jobs that it
2:23
produces. And I noticed more and more
2:25
you're paying Bitcoin. I mean, people are saying it
2:27
takes a lot of pressure off the dollar and it's a great thing
2:31
for our country. So I, I don't care about
2:34
investing. You know, I have my, my, I have
2:36
kids and they invest in different things.
2:38
They do believe in it, but I'm president and what I did do
2:41
there is build an industry that's very important.
2:44
And you know, if we didn't have a China would OK.
2:47
Right here, he's talking about how he wants America to dominate
2:50
the crypto industry over the rest of the world.
2:52
When the president wants to dominate the Bitcoin industry,
2:54
what's a better way than making it a national currency?
2:57
Just take a look at this little plan of his to eliminate the
3:00
national debt. They think it's good.
3:02
Who knows, maybe we'll pay off our $35 trillion, hand him a
3:05
little crypto check, right? We'll hand him a little Bitcoin
3:08
and wipe out our $35 trillion. But how?
3:10
Do you? When the president wants to
3:12
eliminate the national debt using a little Bitcoin, doesn't
3:15
that make a case for his adopting Bitcoin as a national
3:18
currency? And Trump recently said how
3:20
we've just entered a new bull market.
3:22
Take a look. And the results are in.
3:24
And the Trump economic boom is officially begun.
3:28
It's really begun. Almost from.
3:30
The what's changing around the landscape of Bitcoin and
3:32
finances in general is pretty remarkable.
3:34
One of the big pushes coming out this week that blew up my feed
3:37
was the Crypto Clarity Act. Here's Congressman Hill talking
3:41
about it on Squawk Box. Take a look.
3:43
Yeah, we've got the. It's a good week and crypto in
3:46
the sense that Senator Tim Scott is having a markup this coming
3:50
Thursday, tomorrow on the crypto legislation that we sent to the
3:55
Senate last July. This is the market structure.
3:58
This is the rules of the road for dealers, individuals on how
4:02
they will use digital assets and what the fit for purpose
4:05
regulatory structure would be. So I'm really looking forward to
4:09
that debate in the Senate tomorrow.
4:10
And I hope this means that we're moving closer towards having a
4:14
law that President Trump can sign, which is one of his
4:17
commitments to have both a stable coin bill signed into law
4:20
and a market structure bill. Now the SEC chair Paul Atkins
4:25
and the boys out in Washington are planning something big for
4:28
Bitcoin soon that they've been laying the groundwork for.
4:30
Comes the next step a good bipartisan effort by both houses
4:35
of Congress to bring certainty to again to the market structure
4:41
regarding cryptocurrencies and this fits in with the
4:44
president's focus on making America the crypto capital of
4:48
the world. So if you have clear legislation
4:50
and clear rules, then you have certainty in the marketplace.
4:54
And so I think, you know, we're behind it.
4:57
We are very bullish on on the effects of Bill getting to the
5:05
the president to be this year. And I think that'll really be a
5:10
huge help to the crypto marketplace and for investors in
5:14
that. All U.S. markets will be on
5:16
chain within two years. This is a big claim coming out
5:19
of Washington that further pushes the national Bitcoin
5:22
currency narrative. Just think, if we had something
5:25
on chain, this would certainly curtail the Fed's powers to make
5:28
moves in obscurity behind closed doors.
5:30
Because for most of modern history, there were questions
5:32
you didn't ask if you wanted to be taken seriously.
5:35
Questioning the Federal Reserve was one of them, and suggesting
5:37
an alternative to the dollar was another.
5:39
But when something stops being radioactive, it doesn't mean
5:41
that it's about to happen. It means that the system can no
5:44
longer fully suppress the conversation.
5:46
And Trump is definitely making moves in that direction with his
5:49
recent lawsuit against the Fed. Remember this?
5:51
So we're taking a look and it looks like it's about 3.1
5:55
billion one up a little bit or a lot.
5:59
So the 2.7 is now 3.1. I'm not aware of that.
6:03
Yeah, it just came out. Yeah, I I haven't heard.
6:06
That from anybody at the Fed. Yeah, it just came.
6:13
Out, Arnold said about 3.1 as well. 3 point. 13. .2 This came
6:17
from us. Yes.
6:19
Well, now, this week, Trump announced that he's considering
6:22
legal action against Jerome Powell over incompetence.
6:26
We're thinking about bringing a suit against Powell for
6:28
incompetence because think of it, these are two, these aren't
6:31
outstanding buildings. These are small buildings, he
6:33
said. 4 billion more. It's going to end up costing
6:35
more than $4 billion, Four billion.
6:37
It's the highest price of construction.
6:40
Again, Democrats highest price of construction per square foot
6:43
in the history of the world. Gorgeous monuments are built for
6:47
a much smaller price. So we're thinking about bringing
6:50
a gross incompetence, what's called gross incompetence
6:53
lawsuit. It's gross incompetence against
6:55
Powell. The guy's just incompetent.
6:57
There is nothing you can do about it.
6:58
He's just a very incompetent man.
7:00
And Jerome Powell responded with, as Jack Mahler's describes
7:04
it, a hostage video. Now that you've got that out of
7:07
the way, the point is the president of the United States
7:10
views himself as a historical figure.
7:13
The President of the United States has shown that he is
7:17
willing to go to extreme levels to prove that the president of
7:21
the United States believes he will be impeached if he loses
7:27
midterms. Midterms are at the end of this
7:30
year. We've talked on and on and on
7:34
and on. Bitcoin is the best expression
7:36
of currency debasement. It's the best expression of
7:41
money printing. Bitcoin is very simply priced on
7:45
future expectations of Fiat supply to say, why is the
7:49
Bitcoin price up? Why is the Bitcoin price down?
7:51
Bitcoin moves as they create more or delete more dollars,
7:57
period. It's some combination of
8:00
technology plus Fiat liquidity. People will say, is it a tech
8:03
stock? People will say, is it trading
8:06
like gold as an alternative neutral system?
8:09
And the answer's both, OK. And so this is a huge year.
8:16
And we need to set the tone by understanding we are in midterm
8:21
year. The Democrats have an 80% chance
8:25
to win, according to open markets.
8:27
Trump feels the pressure. The administration was not able
8:31
to make a lot of progress in 2025.
8:33
And it depends on what side you sit.
8:35
If you're a Republican, you say, well, the Fed is acting as
8:38
political Democrats. The, the, the tariff stuff is
8:43
being fought over in court. Everyone's getting in his way.
8:46
He's trying. He's making good progress.
8:48
The market hasn't appreciated it.
8:50
And against all the, you know, headwinds in his face, he's
8:53
doing his best. If you're a Democrat, you're
8:55
saying this ego maniacal son of a gun over promises under
9:00
delivers. Remember when he said that Elon
9:02
Musk was going to, you know, run our budget like a startup and
9:05
fix everything? What a moron.
9:07
The point is, it doesn't matter. The Dems are going to win the
9:12
midterms. If nothing changes, he's going
9:14
to get aggressive. What would that aggression look
9:17
like? Well, what a Sunday it was where
9:21
the sitting chair of the Federal Reserve posted a hostage video
9:29
effectively to Twitter. I mean, you have got to be
9:37
kidding me. This is the best timeline to
9:43
ever be having a pulse. I mean, what are the odds that
9:47
we are all alive right now? Let's get something out of the
9:51
way. I'm not talking about abolishing
9:52
the Federal Reserve. That's for Rustin to do.
9:54
I'm just saying, even the Treasury Secretary, Scott
9:56
Besson, is bringing down the credibility of the Fed.
9:59
The Fed began began what we call QE or large scale asset
10:03
purchases. They went in, went in the
10:05
market, started buying long bonds.
10:07
And the theory of the case there is you create liquidity, you
10:12
take safe assets out of the market, long duration safe
10:16
assets. And then the people who received
10:19
that money would buy more risky assets.
10:25
Ben Bernanke famously said when he was asked what's the purpose
10:28
of QE, he told everyone go buy equities.
10:31
Well, not everyone could buy equities.
10:33
So we, we ended up with like this, this two tier economy
10:39
where either you were an asset holder or you weren't.
10:43
And the, the Fed constant probably kept or definitely kept
10:48
QE going for too long. And you know, I, I called the
10:51
Fed the engine of inequality and someone said to me, would you
10:55
believe that the Fed is responsible for economic
10:59
equality in the system? And I said, absolutely not.
11:03
That is not one of their mandates, but they shouldn't be
11:05
exacerbating it. It's not about replacing the
11:08
dollar, and it's not about Bitcoin suddenly becoming legal
11:11
tender in the United States. If that's what you're listening
11:13
for, sadly, you'll probably be disappointed.
11:16
What this is about is that Trump and his cabinet are making moves
11:19
that suggest Bitcoin Bitcoins adoption and reducing the Fed's
11:22
relevance is a key to bring that about.
11:24
Bitcoin does everything the Fed currently does, but it does it
11:26
cheaper, faster, transparent, and more efficient.
11:30
It's cleaner, for God's sakes. Institutions like the Fed don't
11:32
collapse when they're attacked. They collapse when they're
11:34
bypassed. The Federal Reserve doesn't need
11:36
to be eliminated to lose control.
11:38
It only needs the competition. And their only tool at this
11:40
point is to print. And Bitcoin loves a good print.
11:43
And as Samsung Mao has articulated, Fiat currencies
11:45
like the dollar fail over a long period of time until they
11:48
absolutely collapse in printing. If you look at the failure of
11:52
Fiat currencies, they don't gradually fail, they fail
11:56
spectacularly. And this is the the premise
11:58
behind the 1,000,000 Bitcoin call that is not going to be a
12:01
gradual slow increase to $1 million a coin, but rather a
12:06
very short and violent upheaval that sends us there in a matter
12:09
of months, weeks to months. And if you look at the hyper
12:13
bitcoinization landscape, what you do see is more and more
12:16
countries coming out in mining Bitcoin.
12:20
Bhutan I think is the clearest example of this.
12:22
They have close to a trillion dollars now in Bitcoin holdings
12:26
from mining over the past four to five years.
12:30
So if this is not an indication that hyper bitcoinization is
12:34
coming, I'm not really sure what is.
12:35
But countries that have excess energy, they can tap into that
12:39
now and convert that into money and use that money for financing
12:43
lots of different things. I believe we're also on the
12:46
verge of countries issuing debt, sovereign debt to buy Bitcoin.
12:50
So the Bitcoin bond program, it is going to come simply because
12:55
the micro strategy model has has illustrated that this works and
13:00
it works very well. And it's just simply a matter of
13:03
time before a country pulls that trigger and unleashes a torrent
13:07
of sovereign debt to acquire. Now, why is Bitcoin different?
13:10
Well, Bitcoin doesn't behave like a protest, it behaves like
13:13
infrastructure. Every time Bitcoin survives
13:15
another cycle, another regulatory scare, another
13:17
obituary, it becomes harder to dismiss and easier to tolerate.
13:21
And tolerance is the real inflection point.
13:23
Governments don't adopt things because they love them, they
13:26
tolerate them because ignoring them becomes more costly than
13:29
managing them. And the Fed is kind of like a
13:31
giant roadblock in the Trump administration mortgage.
13:33
Up below 6% for the first time in many years.
13:37
It's coming down very rapidly, and that's not with the help of
13:39
the Fed. If I had the help of the Fed, it
13:42
would be easier. But that jerk will be gone soon
13:48
in addition. When Trump is making moves to
13:49
push the head of the Fed out, it means something else is
13:52
happening, like he's trying to take control for some reason.
13:55
It also means Bitcoin is moving from the category of problem to
13:58
the category of variable. And that's a huge shift.
14:00
Problems get attacked, variables get modelled.
14:03
And once something becomes a variable, policy makers stop
14:05
asking, how do we stop this? And they start asking what
14:08
happens if this grows? Well, Bitcoin has been growing.
14:11
And that's not adoption, that's acknowledgement.
14:13
And acknowledgement always comes before integration.
14:16
I want to pause here really quick because systems don't fail
14:18
politely. I want to pause here for a
14:20
moment and talk about SAT 123.com, which provides
14:22
satellite phones that work when cell towers, Internet, and power
14:26
grids do not. If you don't have signal, if you
14:28
don't have infrastructure, it's no problem.
14:30
These phones connect directly to satellites, meaning you still
14:33
have communication even when everything else goes dark.
14:36
Go to sat123.com and use the promo code simply for 15% off
14:40
your entire purchase. Because Bitcoin teaches you one
14:43
thing early, and that's that. Redundancy is
14:45
paramountandsat123.com is redundancy for communication.
14:49
Accidental lost seed phrases and clumsy backups are how people
14:52
get wiped out. If you're serious about self
14:54
custody of your Bitcoin and want confidence instead of fear,

15:01
through secure key storage, hardware wallet setup, encrypted

15:30
need to do it with confidence, not with fear.
15:32
Back to Russia. Here's the part that most people
15:34
miss. Big pivots don't happen in the
15:35
heat of political theater. They happen in the quiet resets
15:38
afterward, after elections, after narratives harden.
15:41
And that's when structural changes are framed not as a
15:44
choice, but as a necessity. No one says we wanted this.
15:47
They say there was no alternative.
15:49
So you. Tweeted today and it went.
15:50
Viral. That the Trump family has made
15:52
more than $1 billion in crypto. How did you guys make it?
15:57
Well, we started the the three most successful, you know,
15:59
crypto projects probably in history.
16:01
We started with a meme coin, trump coin for a period of time.
16:03
It was, I think above the market cap of Ethereum.
16:06
It was pretty amazing. It went, it went parabolic.
16:08
I'll, I'll never forget we launched this on a Friday
16:10
afternoon. I look at the price next day.
16:11
It was at like 70 bucks or something like that for, for
16:13
literally a meme and you know, just had a lot of fun.
16:16
Obviously we were really successful in the NF TS, you
16:18
know, in the early days. And then we start world liberty
16:21
financial. Everybody knows we're the
16:22
fastest growing stable coin on, on Earth right now.
16:25
And then personally, I'm doing a project called American Bitcoin
16:26
and every, you know, a bit of my heart and soul is in it.
16:29
We just listed on the NASDAQ. So we mined Bitcoin out of West
16:32
TX using some of the cheapest energy anywhere in the world.
16:35
We, we mined a lot of Bitcoin. We're doing it at about 50%.
16:38
You know of spot prices right now for, for BTC and, and having
16:42
a great job doing it. So we're, we're going to
16:43
accumulate. We're obviously, you know,
16:45
mining and so crypto's become a big part of the portfolio.
16:47
I was always a hard asset guy. That's what I, I did.
16:49
I think you probably know me from building.
16:51
Strip the personality away for a moment.
16:53
This isn't about Donald Trump and his family liking Bitcoin.
16:55
It's about Donald Trump being willing to apply pressure where
16:58
previous administrations wouldn't.
17:00
Trump doesn't treat institutions like the Fed as sacred.
17:02
He treats them as tools. And tools are either useful or
17:05
replaceable. If you weaken the perceived
17:07
independence of the Federal Reserve rhetorically,
17:09
politically, and structurally, you don't need to introduce a
17:12
replacement. The market will start looking
17:14
for one on its own. So the question isn't, will
17:16
Trump make Bitcoin a national security like El Salvador did?
17:19
The real question is what happens if the Federal Reserve's
17:22
authority erodes faster than policymakers expected by the
17:25
time they respond. It's functioning as collateral,
17:27
it's functioning as settlement, and it's functioning as a hedge
17:29
against political discretion. It's functioning as collateral,
17:32
it's functioning as a settlement, and it's functioning
17:34
as a hedge against political discretion.
17:37
And it's that happens. Control fragments.
17:39
Treasury power increases, market power increases, individual
17:43
sovereignty increases, and central bank certainty
17:47
decreases. That's not chaos, it's
17:49
rebalancing. But rebalancing always feels
17:51
like a loss to the institution at the center, IE the Fed.
17:54
If this path is real, of Bitcoin being adopted as a national
17:57
currency, even partially, something breaks before anything
18:01
changes. It won't be Bitcoin and it won't
18:02
be the dollar. It'll be the narratives.
18:04
The idea that money is neutral, the idea that central banks are
18:07
apolitical, the idea that there is no alternative.
18:10
Those stories don't survive competition.
18:12
Now, if you want to go beyond the headlines, price charts, and
18:14
surface level Bitcoin takes like I make, then you need to check
18:17
out Club Orange, formerly the Orange Pill app.
18:20
It's a Bitcoin only social network built to help you find
18:23
real Bitcoiners near you, discover events, and connect
18:26
with merchants and communities that actually live this stuff.
18:28
Go to Club Orange today and download the app and you can DM
18:31
me at Oceans. I'm OSHINS at oceans.
18:35
I read all my messages there and I look forward to hearing from
18:38
you. In fact, shout out to my first
18:39
connection aside from you, Mateo of course.
18:42
Orange Diet. Thank you so much for watching
18:45
the videos and connecting with me on Club Orange.
18:47
All right, let's get back to our show.
18:48
This episode isn't about predicting outcomes.
18:50
It's about recognizing conditions when questions that
18:53
were once unaskable become reasonable to ask.
18:56
The system is already shifting, and when that happens, the most
18:59
important decisions won't be announced.
19:00
But in some sly, roundabout way, they'll already be behind us.
19:05
See the great trouble is the money wasn't allowed to develop
19:08
further. After 2 or 300 years of coins,
19:12
all governments put their hands and stopped any further
19:15
developments. We were not allowed to
19:18
experiment on it. Money hasn't been improved.
19:20
Money has rather become worse in the course of time.
19:24
Government said it must not develop any further and what we
19:28
have had since in development are matters of government
19:31
inventions, mostly on mostly abuses of money.
19:36
And I have come to the position of asking has monetary policy
19:40
ever done any good? I don't think it has.
19:43
I think there's done only harm. That's why I'm now pleading for
19:48
what I've called denationalisation of money.
19:51
I don't believe that we should ever have a good money again
19:56
before we take the thing out of the hands of government.
19:59
Then we can't take them violently out of the hands of
20:03
government. All we can do is buy some sly
20:05
around the God way. Introduce something so you can't
20:08
stop. Thank you so much for watching
