Wall Street PIVOT CONFIRMED: Microstrategy Playbook Is SPREADING TO The Rest Of The World! | EP 1347 · Simply Bitcoin

0:00
Yo. Michael Saylor has made nearly
0:02
$7 billion in the first six days of October as Bitcoin has ripped
0:09
from 108K to 125K. We hit an all time high on
0:15
Saturday out of all days, just as a massive 1.66 trillion giant
0:21
dropped a bombshell report where they're now recommending a 4%
0:26
Bitcoin allocation. That's right.
0:29
Everyone is following the crowd. I believe Vanguard even admitted
0:33
that, yeah, they're dropping ETF.
0:35
They're gonna start allowing their clients.
0:37
You know, Vanguard was holding it when BlackRock made the
0:39
announcement. The Vanguard CEO with all this
0:42
hubris was like, no, that's too risky for our clients.
0:46
We'll never do that. And then they just announced, I
0:48
think their CEO actually resigned and they just
0:51
announced. And the new CEO is literally the
0:54
guy that launched the BlackRock ETF.
0:57
I mean, come on guys, if you want to know that we're winning,
1:00
there you go. All this is coming as Bitcoin is
1:03
setting a new all time highs every single day.
1:07
It looks as if Bitcoin is about to have an explosive.
1:10
We don't know. We can't read the future, but it
1:12
looks like it's going to have an explosive Q4 and most people are
1:16
not prepared for what's about to come in the next 90 days.
1:21
I mean, Opti and I were talking about this, you know, for the
1:24
last couple of we for the end of September was very dark for me
1:28
and Opti. Me and Opti friendship just
1:30
became closer. You know, we come closer with
1:33
your friends when you go to dark places together and we're like,
1:35
dude, is the cycle over? And then bombing bomb boom.
1:40
As for as soon as October 1st hit, we just ripped.
1:45
They don't call it October for no reason.
1:47
I don't know why we were doubting it.
1:48
But anyways, let's get to. Start doubting it.
1:50
The source material Check out this post by Hunter Horsley.
1:55
This is huge. I agree with Hunter, this is
1:57
huge. New special report from Morgan
2:01
Stanley GIC quote. We aim to support our financial
2:05
advisors and clients who may flexibly allocate to
2:09
cryptocurrency as part of their multi asset portfolios.
2:13
GIC Guide 16,000 advisors managing $2 trillion in savings
2:19
and wealth for clients were entering the mainstream era.
2:23
I was having a discussion with a discussion with British Huddle
2:26
this morning and one of the things that resonated with me
2:31
and it's on my mind while I'm thinking about this is he's
2:33
talking about different pools of capital as Bitcoin matures,
2:38
becomes this maturing asset and it starts to enter into
2:42
traditional finance, finance. That's what you're seeing with
2:45
Vanguard. That's what you're seeing with
2:47
Morgan Stanley. You have to understand that
2:49
there's these pools of capital that normally would not be able
2:53
to buy Bitcoin. If they just wanted to buy spot
2:57
Bitcoin, they just wouldn't be able to do it.
2:59
That's what Michael Saylor is doing, developing all these
3:02
types of products. It's specifically to target
3:04
these different pools of capital.
3:06
So if you're hearing $2 trillion in savings and wealth for
3:11
clients, that's a pool of capital that before this
3:14
announcement was not able to get exposure to Bitcoin directly.
3:19
Their only way to get exposure was through MicroStrategy.
3:22
Now they're basically saying, listen, if our clients want
3:24
exposure to cryptocurrency, of course being the big biggest one
3:28
being Bitcoin, now they can. That's massive, massive news.
3:32
And of course, also Sailor reports $3.9 billion in total
3:38
Bitcoin fair value appreciation and Q3 of 2025.
3:42
Once again, Sailor is setting the, just setting it, it.
3:47
No one's gonna catch up to this. No one's gonna catch up to
3:50
Michael Saylor. Like I, I'm just, I'm calling it
3:53
right now. No one's catching up to him.
3:55
I think if you put all the Bitcoin treasury companies
3:58
together and you add them up, I think it's like 15% of Michael
4:03
Saylor's total stack. Talk about first mover
4:06
advantage. And of course, Opti was pulling
4:08
this up in the back in the background.
4:10
Bitcoin's quarterly returns. I want to focus on Q4 9.73% so
4:17
far. We're only six days in to Q4 of
4:21
2025 and we're already higher than we were of Q 3/20/20.
4:26
Five, we doubled Q3 of 20. 25 was quite depressing, I'm not
4:30
gonna lie. It was not.
4:31
It was not a good time. Wait, wait, wait.
4:33
Nico, before you go on, the reason I wanted to bring this up
4:36
guys is sailors math here. He basically said, all right, we
4:41
profited $4 billion in Q3. Look at these returns.
4:44
It's 6.31% for all of Q3. Again, three months out of the
4:49
out of the year. He made $4 billion in the last
4:52
six days, I think. I don't know what's the math.
4:55
He's probably close to like $7 billion on this pump right here.
4:59
Why do you think that Wall Street is looking at Bitcoin
5:03
now, seeing what sailors doing? They're looking at his games and
5:08
they're like, Oh my gosh, we were basically trolling him and
5:12
calling him an idiot and getting him sued and running him through
5:16
the media. You know, just just the mud here
5:21
and now in literally 6 days or what maybe you, if you want to
5:26
go further, what 3 months and six days he's up.
5:30
What it what, what is that 7, about $11 billion?
5:34
Like you can't ignore these games anymore.
5:36
And this is starting to spread out that that's like, I think
5:39
the main point to look at what's happened Q3, the total quarter
5:43
and then what's happened in the last six days.
5:46
I think this is probably why we're starting to see these
5:48
pivots happen so fast is they're looking at the price starting to
5:52
run again and they're one, oh, wait, it's not going to die.
5:57
Oh, wait, it's not going to 12K or 80K, etcetera.
6:00
This might actually run. We have to get in front of this
6:03
narrative and start to tell people, yeah, you should
6:06
probably be buying some Bitcoin. So I just wanted to point that
6:10
out now. Nico continue.
6:12
Yeah, absolutely. So this last, this last report
6:17
is by Bitcoin Census, the diary of the new economy.
6:23
Morgan Stanley just validated crypto investors Bom Bing bom
6:27
boom. When a giant like Morgan Stanley
6:30
speaks, the market listens. And this time it's about crypto.
6:34
The bank's global investment committee just added clear
6:37
guidance for crypto exposure inside multi asset portfolios.
6:42
It's not a full blown embrace, but it's definitely a green
6:45
light. According to their October
6:47
report. Quote opportunistic growth
6:49
portfolios, the ones built for higher return, higher risk and
6:53
return can now include up to 4% in cryptocurrencies.
6:57
Quote, balanced growth portfolios were moderate in
7:01
nature, are capped at 2%. Anything focused on wealth
7:04
preservation still 0%, which makes sense.
7:08
It actually makes no sense. Which what's interesting isn't
7:11
just the numbers, it's who this message reaches. 16,000
7:17
financial advisors managing $2 trillion.
7:20
Two trillion in client assets. That's a tidal wave of potential
7:24
capital slowly pivoting towards the digital asset space.
7:29
Morgan Stanley is basically acknowledging what we've seen
7:32
for a while. Crypto is volatile, yes, but
7:36
it's no longer ignorable. That's the key sentence out of
7:39
this entire article. It's maturing, integrating and
7:43
reshaping what diversification looks like in 2025.
7:47
I don't like that word diversification.
7:50
Me and Opti are are All in all of all in fication, all
7:54
identification, not financial advice.
7:57
Regardification. To me, this feels like a line in
8:03
the sand moment. The traditional finance world is
8:06
finally learning how to coexist with crypto instead of
8:10
pretending it doesn't exist. It's cautious approach, but it's
8:14
adoption nonetheless. And that's how every major
8:17
revolution begins. Now again, if you put that
8:20
together with the Vanguard news and you put that together with
8:25
the fact that listen, Morgan Stanley, if Morgan Stanley's
8:30
successful rolling this out, the other traditional wealth
8:34
management banks are not going to have a choice but to follow
8:38
suit. Remember, we called this for you
8:40
guys when, when PayPal initially offered withdraws, I said PayPal
8:48
is not going to want to do that by themselves.
8:51
They're not going to want to offer withdrawals or your
8:54
ability to take self custody if you left them to their own
8:57
devices. I said they're not going to do
8:59
it. But I also said because Cash App
9:03
lets you do that and because Cash App is a direct competitor,
9:06
PayPal market forces are going to force PayPal to inevitably
9:12
offer withdrawals. When PayPal announced that they
9:15
offer Bitcoin withdrawals, you know who followed suit very,
9:18
very shortly after? It was Robin Hood.
9:23
So again, if you connect the dots, it's very obvious where
9:28
this is going. Clients at Morgan Stanley are
9:31
probably saying, hey, WTF, why don't you guys offer Bitcoin?
9:37
I get that you're all conservative and stuff in your,
9:39
in your outlook, in your approach, but my gains, bro.
9:44
And they folded. The same thing happened with
9:47
Vanguard. Vanguard is I think the second
9:50
largest asset manager in the world.
9:52
And I, I vividly remember, and I said it half jokingly, but I
9:56
said, by the way, I think there's going to be consequences
10:02
for them not allowing their clients to be able to buy into
10:07
ETFs. And there was consequences.
10:10
The Vanguard CEO resigned and just recently Opti, if you could
10:14
pull that up, I want to show it. I want to show it off to
10:16
everybody. What am I pulling?
10:18
Up the Vanguard news just recently they announced hey
10:21
guys, listen, you know, we we're we're potentially looking into
10:26
if my memory serves me to correctly and if Bitcoin Twitter
10:31
yeah, there you go boom just like that like we're winning
10:35
bro, this is fantastic. This is so cool there you go
10:40
Vanguard to offer third party Bitcoin ETFs to investors.
10:44
So they go from, you know, holding the line.
10:48
We're traditional finance. We can't offer these types of
10:52
products to our investors because, you know, they're risky
10:56
and we can't do this to oh, of course you can buy any type of
11:01
ETF's using the Vanguard platform.
11:04
Of course you could do that. Like this is the power of
11:07
Bitcoin. This is the power of incentives.
11:09
The last thing I'll say is we are going to win this because of
11:14
game theory and incentives. We're not going to win this
11:17
because of coercion, and we're not going to win this because of
11:20
regulatory favorability. We're going to win this because
11:24
Bitcoin is the best money the world has ever seen, period.
11:28
If you let Bitcoin do its thing and you put Bitcoin head to head
11:34
with Fiat currencies or even the stock market, Bitcoin is going
11:40
to win in terms of returns. That's why governments are
11:46
warming up to it. That's why BlackRock is warming
11:49
up to it. That's why the president has the
11:51
6th largest treasury company in the world.
11:54
You think they've all changed their minds and they found
11:57
Satoshi and they're all they're, they're tuning into simply
12:00
Bitcoin. They're saying, you know what
12:01
these guys are, right? They're pissed off.
12:03
The money's broken. 2008 was a scam.
12:06
We got to make it good for them and we got to fix the money.
12:10
Fix the world, bro. Hell no.
12:12
None of them are thinking that Larry Fink is thinking, how do I
12:16
get very rich? How do I make a lot of money?
12:20
And they see Bitcoin as the vehicle to do that.
12:24
And that aligns incentives with all the Bitcoin holders.
12:27
And all of a sudden, Max Kaiser saying, listen, Larry Fink is a
12:31
Bitcoin employee of the of the month.
12:33
It's true. That's the power of alignment of
12:35
incentives. You have Michael Saylor selling
12:37
Bitcoin, like not actually selling Bitcoin, but he's making
12:41
the sales pitch to the world as to why Bitcoin is important.
12:45
You have Larry Fink doing the same thing.
12:48
You have President Trump. I don't think he, yeah, he said
12:50
it at the Bitcoin conference. Never sell your Bitcoin.
12:53
So, you know, I'm just saying, just say all that stuff happened
12:57
this year basically, and Bitcoin hasn't really pumped.
13:00
So I don't know. It's looking favorable in my
13:03
opinion. Yeah, And before I really kind
13:06
of cover all of this stuff, Mika said something about the price.
13:11
And I've been kind of saying that recently a lot.
13:13
I know a lot of Bitcoiners like to say the price doesn't matter.
13:16
And while I do agree to some extent, there's a lot of things
13:19
about Bitcoin that I do like and I do talk about and stress
13:23
outside of just the price. But the price of Bitcoin, in my
13:26
opinion, is probably the strongest indicator of where
13:30
Bitcoin is going. And for better or worse, guys,
13:32
if Bitcoin doesn't RIP, then this whole thing failed.
13:35
And now that we're seeing the life come back into the price,
13:38
this is showing everyone else, this is a signal to everyone
13:43
that is a market participant in every market right now that they
13:47
have to pay attention to what is going on over here.
13:49
And so seeing a spectacular Q4 and seeing Bitcoin start to RIP
13:54
again, it's basically showing to everyone that has ever said
13:58
anything negative about Bitcoin that hey, they might have been
14:01
wrong about this. And you're starting to see that
14:04
happen very quickly. Obviously, we saw this happen
14:06
throughout the whole year and now entering in Q4, probably
14:10
when everyone comes back from vacation, they're now like, OK,
14:13
I need to get into this. We need to make moves into this.
14:16
We've waited long enough and there has been a lot of
14:19
conversations on Twitter and even on this show and people on
14:23
YouTube, whether the price has been manipulated or rather
14:25
suppressed down so that people can kind of get their position
14:29
in Bitcoin. And to be honest, it does feel
14:31
like that was the case. We have to remember Bitcoin is a
14:34
tiny, tiny asset in global market, 2 trillion right now
14:38
compared to 1000, 1000 trillion dollars.
14:41
It's it's very easy for them to kind of suppress the price at
14:45
the current moment, but after a certain point they won't be able
14:48
to do it again. Like yes, they could, you know,
14:50
do some market financial nearing here.
14:53
Wait, financialization of financial finance.
14:56
Yeah, I try to. I try to create a word there,
14:58
finance and engineering. One 25260.
15:03
Let's go all time high. Here we go.
15:06
You're you are starting to see that at a certain point, they
15:10
can't play the same games that they that they're used to
15:12
playing. And they can still, you know, do
15:15
some of these games like they could do to a big corporate
15:17
stock. But after a certain size, they
15:21
have to jump in. So that's just like the general,
15:23
you know, price kind of conversation.
15:25
I do want to hit on this report here a little bit because it is
15:29
pretty funny. Here is the tweet that Nico
15:33
pulled up and actually let me let me change this a little bit
15:36
so you guys can see this. And here is like what they are
15:42
recommending, which is I, I think it's from my perspective,
15:47
a little hilarious. Obviously.
15:48
Here's a conclusion taking a conservative approach to
15:50
cryptocurrency allocations, you know, based on their research
15:54
and etcetera, etcetera. Given its limited history, we
15:58
have prepared a series of forward-looking simulations to
16:01
stress test stand alone and portfolio allocations of crypto.
16:04
They're really talking about Bitcoin here.
16:06
But here's like the funny part, at least to me, and it goes GIC
16:11
recommendations for maximum cryptocurrency allocations and
16:15
multi asset portfolios. It has a description up on the
16:19
top and then the risk profile. So the first risk profile is 1
16:23
of wealth conservation is 0%. I think as from a Bitcoiners
16:29
perspective, we are conserving our wealth by saving in Bitcoin.
16:33
That's literally what we're doing.
16:35
So you can tell they haven't fully grokked what we are doing
16:38
over here. They're working on it.
16:40
But I, I, when I first saw this, I'm like, dude, this is all
16:43
we're doing here is conserving our wealth.
16:45
We're storing our wealth here because you can't put it in
16:48
anything else. So I find it that their wealth
16:50
conservation kind of risk profile is 0% Bitcoin where us
16:55
we're like, yo, we're like 100% plus like everything we can put
16:58
into Bitcoin, that's how we can serve our wealth.
17:01
Anyways, the next description and the risk profile is 2 of
17:04
income is still a 0%. Now their third risk profile is
17:08
the balance growth perspective and it's 2% and then a risk
17:13
profile for market growth at 3%. And then their opportunistic
17:17
growth, which is their most risky profile at 5 is 4%.
17:23
I think we still have a long way to go before they go full bull
17:25
tart on us, but it's just funny how these numbers work for them.
17:30
They're like, yeah, 0% conserve your wealth, don't put it in
17:33
Bitcoin. But if you want to get a little
17:36
risky, let's just say a 4% portfolio allocation and you're
17:41
just like, oh man, dude, this is going to get so crazy once they
17:46
actually go full bull tard and and start recommending like the
17:51
the percentages we've heard from the Ray Dalio's of the world or
17:54
even BlackRock in the early days.
17:56
You know that 40 to 80% allocation here.
18:00
And I think I saw a stat the other day that it said something
18:04
like when we see a 1% allocation from all of these asset
18:08
managers, we are highly underestimating how high this
18:11
thing can RIP. We really don't know what that
18:14
looks like when they really go all in on this.
18:17
And I was thinking about this over the weekend and it really
18:20
brought me back to the conversation we've been having
18:23
on the show all year long. This idea that, you know, now
18:27
that Wall Street is here, now that the institutions are here,
18:29
is Bitcoin losing that ethos of separating money and state?
18:34
Like have we sold out essentially to Wall Street?
18:37
And it's, you could, you could argue that that's, you know, you
18:41
could argue that. I, I, I think that's a fair
18:43
argument, But when you really think about it, it's actually
18:47
benefiting the, the layman, the, the everyday man, the Bitcoiner,
18:53
because now that the institutions are here and
18:55
they're scrambling for a position, those of us that have
18:59
been holding Bitcoin for 5-10 years plus, we get the games
19:03
here. So while they're scrambling for
19:05
a Bitcoin position, all we have to do is just sit back, relax,
19:09
and let the capital flow into Bitcoin and our wealth goes up
19:14
in the process. So I don't think that we as
19:18
Bitcoiners have sold out to Wall Street.
19:20
In fact, I think this is the only time in history that the
19:23
average person can see this huge monetary shift happening and
19:28
profit from it. And it's so beautiful to see.
19:31
Nico talks about aligned incentives all the time on the
19:34
show, and this is what we're seeing happen in real time.
19:37
You know, as much as you may or may not like Sailor, seeing what
19:41
he's done in the last six days, or you could even argue in the
19:44
last three months and six days is absolutely insane.
19:47
Making what, 7 billion in six days off a 10% gain?
19:51
Like this is going to get so crazy.
19:54
And actually I saw another metric this morning, strategy is
19:58
has officially jumped over Coinbase as I think it was 104th
20:03
largest corporate treasury right now.
20:05
So look Sailor and strategy is becoming what Coinbase could
20:11
have been in real time. And I think the marketing and
20:16
kind of the evangelization that we've seen Sailor do to Bitcoin
20:21
for the corporations and the institutions like it is finally
20:25
paying off. So whether you like it or not.
20:27
Whether you're a fan or not, I'm, I'm personally, I want to
20:30
see the average everyday people buying Bitcoin.
20:34
I don't think our thesis has been broken yet.
20:36
I think this is only going to get even crazier and the
20:39
feedback loop is going to be even nuttier than we've ever
20:41
seen before in the past. And I'm, I'm starting to, as I'm
20:45
sure you can tell, I'm starting to get extremely bullish here.
20:47
And, and I'm I, you know, I don't want to say it, but I, I
20:51
think diminishing returns might be over.
20:52
Nico, I'm, I'm, I'm just going to throw that.
20:54
Out there. Oh, I mean, bro, that is a,
20:58
that's a, that's an oomph. That's a big statement from from
21:02
Opti. I don't believe in diminishing
21:05
returns. Opti does not believe in
21:08
diminishing returns. You know I was talking to.
21:12
And I disagree we're. At drop, we're going to drop
21:14
that episode on Saturday. I didn't even hear the
21:16
conversation and I disagree and. He was basically making the case
21:21
like, look, Nico, like Bitcoin's getting older, you know, it's
21:26
established now like the days of, you know, the days of these,
21:32
these dopamine hits are long gone.
21:35
And Opti clearly isn't complete denial.
21:38
I am totally in denial denial is not just the river Opti is in
21:43
denial. It just makes no sense to me
21:46
like my basic you know, 42 IQ left side of the bell curve take
21:50
is we've barely seen the adoption of Bitcoin.
21:53
I think globally, if you're being very optimistic about the
21:58
adoption rates of Bitcoin, you could say it's like 3% And
22:01
you're telling me that if 97% of the rest of the population gets
22:05
in Bitcoin, we're going to see diminishing return.
22:07
It just makes no sense to me. But I get, I get this idea of,
22:10
of getting bored to death and you know, oh, we're just going
22:13
to see a 30% kegger and all that stuff.
22:15
And I'm, I'm just, it just makes no sense to me once we see the
22:19
multitudes of capital come into it and once that starts ripping
22:23
and we do finally get retail to come back in.
22:25
I know retail's broke right now and most people have no money,
22:29
but it just makes no sense to me that we are going to see
22:31
diminishing returns when, when 97% of the world is not on
22:35
Bitcoin. You're telling me it's only
22:37
gonna go up 30% a year? Like come on bro, it's over,
22:41
dude. You guys are bears.
22:42
I don't like bears. Did you not get the call bro?
22:44
It's it's I. Literally did not get the call.
22:46
You got the call. At the end of September, you
22:48
just chose not. To answer the call dude, that's
22:50
what I do. I don't respond to texts and I
22:52
don't pick up calls. Opti did not pick up the call,
22:55
but they left the voicemail. I don't listen to those either.
22:59
Shout out to the Shout out to the Primal Chat 27.
23:03

23:21
that like button share the live stream really really helps with
23:25
the algos already 524 people watching live on YouTube alone.
23:30
So anyways guys the TLDR before we move on to the next section.
23:34
Is this breaking news Morgan Stanley is going to be allowing?
23:40
Not completely full, no. Vanguard, Vanguard.
23:42
No Morgan Stanley, bro. That was the news.
23:45
They're getting bullish and saying 4% adoption or 4.
23:48
Percent Stanley is going to allow some of their clients to
23:51
get. Exposure.
23:52
That's what it says. OK, whatever.
23:54
I'm gonna read the headline. Yeah, read it again.
23:55
Let's. Read the headline Morgan
23:57
Stanley. Just validate what I think
23:59
you're mixing them up. Go, go.
24:02
According to their October report, opportunistic
24:05
portfolios, the ones built for higher risk and return, can now
24:08
include up to 4% in cryptocurrencies.
24:12
What's interesting? What's interesting isn't just
24:14
the numbers, it's who this message reaches. 16,000
24:18
financial advisors managing $2 trillion in client assets.
24:21
That's the TLDR of today's intro.
24:25
I was gonna curse huge huge for the reasons as I explained
24:30
earlier and again Vanguard as well.
24:32
Opti got hyped about Vanguard basically saying.
24:35
You know what? Such a huge fan of Vanguard.
24:37
You know what? I, I, I got it wrong.
24:42
I got it wrong. We're going to walk it back.
24:43
We are going to offer this to our clients.
24:45
We are at an all time high 125,526 dollars for Bitcoin and
24:55
we're doing it live. Which is we get all time highs
24:58
every minute. Now tastic, I love this.
25:01
I forgot this feeling. This used to be like a very
25:03
common feeling around here and we forgot it.
25:07
We forgot it. Anyways, you should always pride
25:11
yourself at buying the top. I've been buying the top forever
25:16
since. Forever I will buy the top
25:18
forever. I've been buying the Bitcoin top
25:20

25:23
Thought I was late. Bought the top AT20K in 2017.
25:27
Bought the top at 2021 at 69 K Buying the top right now at 125
25:34
K $500. I'm going to buy the top right

I want to give a shout out to our partner Stamp Seed.
26:40
Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
26:43
Are your seed phrases really secure?
26:45
Stamp Seeds Do It Your words are actually stamped
27:01
into the titanium plate with this hammer and these letter
27:05
stamping tools. Once the words are in, they
27:08
aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
27:11
apart and pieces falling everywhere.
27:14
Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
27:17
produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
27:20
waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
27:23
And now you can customize your titanium seed plates.
27:27
You can upload your design or logo and they will laser engrave
27:32
it on the back of your seed plate, the opposite side of
27:35
where the words are. Stamp your seed on Stamp seed

28:09
Use promo code simply. You get 15% off anything on the
28:13
store. At the time of recording the
28:15
Bitcoin price is $125,540. I think that's the highest I've
28:19
ever read. Block height 917,928 That's per
28:24
dollar 797. Market cap 2.5 trillion Bitcoin
28:29
versus gold market cap 8.92% Decline from all time high -.2%
28:35
Realized monetary inflation .85%.
28:38
What happens when it's an all time high?
28:39
Does it say like Plus it just says 0.
28:41
I guess I think it just says 0. Anyways, I have a very
28:45
interesting video for you guys. I have Charlie Lee, the inventor
28:49
of Litecoin, saying the choir part out loud.
28:53
He says he would have made more money if he would have just
28:56
bought Bitcoin instead of trying to launch his own altcoin.
29:00
There is no second best. I just want to put a
29:02
clarification here to say that Litecoin responded the official
29:06
Litecoin account. It's interesting.
29:08
Is there an official Bitcoin account?
29:10
There is, but it's but it's not official.
29:13
No, it's not official. It's not, it's not official.
29:15
Like, that'd be kind of weird. Just Satoshi tweeting on
29:19
Twitter. Like, could you imagine?
29:21
That'd be crazy. I've heard about the knots and
29:26
core debate puts up a poll. Oh man.
29:31
But yeah, I mean, it's, it is kind of strange.
29:33
The official Bitcoin account definitely runs core.
29:40
Litecoin officially responds to Charlie Lee and he says anyone
29:43
who reads this or any other posts referring to this video,
29:47
watch the entire video, especially the time before and
29:49
after this 40 seconds. Then you'll see how news gets
29:53
twisted to fit a narrative. You're welcome.
29:55
Yeah, do they not know how propaganda works?
29:57
Jeez. Anyways, and people didn't react
30:04
to it so well. Do you imagine being a a
30:06
Litecoin shit coin holder bag holder right?
30:08
Now hey, listen bro, you can hold up, you can hold whatever
30:11
you want, but we recommend Bitcoin.
30:14
OK, do what you want with your money, but you're probably very
30:17
down bad right now. So let's check out Charlie Lee's
30:21
clip with the context of. Apparently this is not the full
30:24
clip. My advice for myself would just
30:28
to be, I think this would be surprising to a lot of people,
30:32
but which is to be buy like buy Bitcoin story away, don't sell
30:38
anything and don't do anything else related to crypto and just
30:41
sit on it and and be anonymous. That would be my advice.
30:47
So don't follow in your footsteps, correct?
30:50
Like I. Mean creating Litecoin did not
30:53
really make me more money. Was a lot of headache.
30:57
Yeah, it was. Yeah.
30:59
Just if you just buy, buy Bitcoin, keep it away, stay
31:03
anonymous, sit on it, don't sell anything.
31:06
It would be better off. I mean, I mean bars.
31:10
Like like, to be fair, like I don't know what missing
31:15
contacts. Yeah.
31:16
What's missing? Contacts like he he like that
31:21
was a regret. That was an all-encompassing
31:24
message. Yeah.
31:25
He's like, I shouldn't have made that chick coin, I should never
31:28
bought it. It sucked.
31:30
It took my mental health away from me and I'm poor.
31:33
I don't have the chicken I moved.
31:34
I don't. Have now.
31:35
It died. It died on us.
31:37
It stopped clucking guys. It broke.
31:40
It broke. Sure, yeah.
31:42
We don't actually have a chicken.
31:43
It's a rubber chicken. No animals were hurt, No.
31:48
Animals were hurt. It was a.
31:49
Rubber chicken, bro. A rubber chicken.
31:52
It unalived itself. I don't it was.
31:55
It wasn't a lot anyways. It it wasn't.
31:58
It wasn't anyways. It doesn't work.
32:01
It doesn't work anymore. It doesn't work anymore.
32:02
The rubber chicken doesn't work anymore.
32:04
Bring back the rubber chicken. We're.
32:05
No, we're not. No, we're not.
32:06
Yeah, we are. No, no, dude, it it's
32:09
anticlimactic. It makes like a really bad
32:12
sound. It's not cool.
32:15
Anyways, so I don't know. I mean, look, I I, I get the
32:20
context set up by the person who runs the Litecoin account, but
32:26
like, that was an all-encompassing message.
32:28
Like. There was a regret.
32:31
There was if I could go back and do it all over again, Like it
32:34
was very clear, like, how do you did?
32:36
Did he have like multiple responses?
32:38
Like, was she like, OK, but what would you do if you had like
32:41
another choice? And then that's how he answered
32:43
it. What would you do if you created
32:46
a second Litecoin? But it sounded painful, like he
32:51
was like, yeah, it just didn't make me a lot of money and I
32:54
just wasn't a big. Fan though honestly that's
32:56
probably the biggest tell here that all shit coiners just
32:58
created a shit coin to make money here.
33:00
I don't know. Yeah, I mean.
33:03
Listen to them when they tell you the.
33:05
Truth, I mean all point you can you can do whatever you want
33:08
with your money, but obviously we recommend Bitcoin.
33:11
I mean, that was a very, that was a very.
33:13
I could tell it was from the heart is what I'm.
33:15
Trying to, Yeah. And, and, and to be fair, that's
33:18
probably the best advice you could give anyone.
33:20
That's what we do all the time. You know, I, I was joking over
33:23
the weekend that I'm still low key kind of mad at Nico for me
33:27
still not being anonymous. I wish I just, you know,
33:32
sometimes I wish I just didn't do anything and I just stacked
33:35
Bitcoin and continued tweeting and no one knew who I was.
33:39
That is the best advice that you could give anyone.
33:42
And the reason it's the best advice is because it's tried and
33:45
true. It is the best thing to do.
33:47
The hardest thing to be doing is sitting on your hands.
33:50
It's very easy for you to come into the space, you know, get
33:54
caught up in the whole Bitcoin slash crypto craze.
33:57
You go all in on Bitcoin. Next thing you know you're out
34:00
there all in on these shit coins and you get absolutely wrecked.
34:03
This is why we constantly tell people Bitcoin only take your
34:06
Bitcoin into cold storage and if you're smart, you don't tell
34:10
anyone that you buy Bitcoin and you live your life.
34:13
That's literally the best way to be doing things.
34:15
So as we always say, one of the best ways to become a Bitcoin
34:21
maxi is by putting your hand on the stove and becoming a shit
34:24
coiner. And we got it from the word.
34:26
You know the the horse's mouth here.
34:28
He wishes he didn't do anything in shit coins.
34:32
It's guys when they tell you the truth, just listen to him.
34:35
You're going hard in the paint bro.
34:37
Dude we haven't talked about shit.
34:39
Coin is on this show in a while. Kind of fitting.
34:42
I mean, you know, we're trying to be inclusive, bro.
34:45
You're trying to be inclusive. Just buy Bitcoin.
34:49
Yeah, I mean. This is financial advice.
34:51
No, no, no. It's not financial.
34:55
Advice. I mean, that is it is simply
34:56
Bitcoin for a reason, right? Yeah, we're not inclusive to
34:59
shit coin. I mean, you can do what you want
35:00
with your money, whatever you want, but we don't endorse any
35:03
of that. Whatever you want, but we
35:05
recommend Bitcoin only. This has been tried and tested
35:09
so many times. Altcoins are literally were
35:14
invented to take your Bitcoin like that again.
35:17
But that's our opinion, not trying to make anyone feel bad.
35:22
Dude, I I don't know if I could say it, but you know how I feel
35:26
about bullying. Not trying to make not trying to
35:29
make anyone feel bad, but yeah, altcoins were they're they're
35:33
oscillators the best, but they all they all lose value towards
35:36
Bitcoin over time. Like don't take my word for it.
35:38
Like this isn't an opinion. Like don't trust me, verify it
35:41
yourself. Look at BTC versus Ethereum.
35:45
Look at BTC versus EI mean look at BTC versus XRP.
35:49
It's all a down. It's all a downward trend
35:52
towards Bitcoin. So my advice is buy Bitcoin if
35:56
you want to end up with more Bitcoin.
35:58
And then if you do want to get kind of risky because you want
36:03
to get more, just understand that there's a, there's a
36:06
probability that you're going to lose, you're going to end up
36:08
with less Bitcoin than before, right?
36:10
And I've heard that story so many times throughout my time in
36:14
the space, right? So anyways, guys, it's going to
36:16
be a fantastic show. Let's get to the news segment.
36:20
We have a lot to cover today. We're going to be right back in
36:22
just a bit. I want to give a shout out to
36:24

I want to give a shout out to our partnersat123.com.
37:13
Sovereignty isn't just about your money, it's about your
37:16
communications too. When the grid goes down, most
37:19
people go dark. Cell towers fail and hurricanes,
37:22
cyber attacks and blackouts. But satellite phones, they don't
37:25
rely on local infrastructure. Iridium has 77 satellites in
37:29
orbit, giving you a Direct Line anywhere in the US, even
37:32
offshore. If you hold your own Bitcoin
37:34
keys, you should hold your own commstoosat123.com also has
37:39

All right everybody, we are hitting all time highs fit to
38:17
$125,623. It's never been a more important
38:24
time to take self custody of your Bitcoin and that's why we
38:28
want to give a very special shout out to our partner Bit
38:32
Key. This is by far the easiest
38:35
Bitcoin hardware wallet to use on planet earth.
38:38
It is built for human beings. It connects with your phone.
38:43
There's a key that's on your phone, there's a key that's on
38:46
the hardware wallet, and there's a key that's on the bit key
38:48
server. So if you want to give a
38:50
hardware wallet to your friends and family or your grandparents
38:56
or your parents that perhaps are not Bitcoin savvy or tech savvy,
38:59
this is the perfect gift for them.
39:01
Again, you do a single tap on your phone and you're ready to
39:05
spend and again, you're taking your Bitcoin into cold storage.
39:10
So go to bit key dot world today and use promo code simply you

39:21
intuitive, easy to use just the tap a fingerprint boom, you're

39:29
So highly recommend it. Very intuitive wallet to use and
39:34
someone asked a question. Doesn't doesn't the one of the
39:37
companies hold a key? Yes, they do, but it's a two of
39:39
three. No, that's a totally different
39:41
company. But I think they're referring to
39:43
that. But anyway, so it's a two of
39:45
three wallet, but it's intuitive and it's baked in so and baked
39:49
in inheritance planning as well. So go to bit key dot world today
39:54
and use promo code. Simply you get 20% off anything
39:58
on the store. Again, highly recommend this for
40:01
for your friends and family, especially the ones that are
40:02
just getting into Bitcoin. Any and they you want to get
40:05
them on cold storage at the end of the day anyways.
40:08
So I do want to talk about the elephant in the room.
40:12
We are hitting an all time high. So let's read about the editor's
40:16
pick. Bitcoin price hits an all time
40:18
high. But here's what really matters.
40:22
What really matters is bitcoins hitting an all time high.
40:25
So it matters bro $125,763. It feels fantastic to say that.
40:34
Coming up on 126K but I mean opti these all time highs don't
40:41
hit like they used to hit. Bro when we used.
40:43
To have all time highs, it would be like a 20% like face ripping
40:48
it would be, it would feel fantastic.
40:50
Bro just wait, there's still time.
40:52
Like these are like 1002025500 and.
40:56
Then back to a. 123 consolidate for two or three days and then
41:02
bom Bing bom boom senor gringo papi says video Taco.
41:06
I agree. I literally told Sophie to get
41:09
us some of them today. They're absolutely delicious.
41:11
I, I endorse that message. But yeah, man, I mean, how does
41:15
it feel, Opti? We, we've been in the trenches
41:17
for this entire year with you guys watching us, you guys
41:21
supporting us. We wouldn't be on air without
41:24
you guys. And yeah, I mean, it's been a
41:28
heck of a ride this year, bro. Senator Lummus interview.
41:32
Samson Mao interview. Yeah.
41:35
I mean, so many, so many things this year that have happened,
41:38
bro. And just the ups and downs of
41:41
this, the Bitcoin cycle this year has not been that great.
41:45
It has not been that great. I mean, we started the year that
41:47
Trump's inauguration date, it was 109 K You know, basically
41:52
nine months later, it's only at 125 KA, 125 K, 800.
41:58
But dude, I mean it, it doesn't feel like it got that pump.
42:02
But as Opti's saying, he's like, Nico, shut the F up, it's
42:06
coming. Dude.
42:08
Lower your time frame. October is just starting.
42:10
What do you mean lower time frame?
42:11
I just waited nine months. Dude, what's another two months?
42:15
9 three months. Well, I'm I'm kind of, I'm not
42:19
so sure about December pumpage. I think this month and next
42:23
month is going to be at the Crazy Games.
42:24
That's it. It's over.
42:26
I don't know, I'm just saying like, let me let me let me
42:29
refresh here. I'm pretty sure historically
42:32
speaking, October and November are the best return months and
42:36
then December is not bad here. Sorry, wrong one.
42:42
Yeah. So look, this is just what I'm
42:44
basing it off of. Of course, this has become our
42:48
favorite website recently because we're all just hoping
42:52
that Q4 pumps. Oh, wait, let me pull this one
42:55
off so you guys can see this and I'll pull this up.
43:00
So historically, October gives us an average of 21% gains,
43:05
median increase of 14, almost 15%.
43:09
November is average 46% returns with a median return of 10%.
43:16
And then December is an average 4% return, almost 5% return,
43:21
with a median -3.22% return. So look at 2017.
43:25
I get that. I'm just saying.
43:27
I get that. I'm just saying I think most of
43:31
the returns we're going to see are probably going to be
43:34
November, but I'm I'm so cool with it being like 2020 and
43:37
2017. That sounds great to me.
43:39
But still, I think I think November is probably going to be
43:44
a really good month and I'm still a little unsure of what's
43:48
going to happen in December. That's all I'm saying.
43:50
Are we going to get incredible games?
43:51
You think the cycles are over? Or you.
43:53
Think they're done? I don't think they are to be
43:55
honest. I really want to believe they
43:57
are over because you guys know we've been talking about this on
44:02
the show for a while. If the cycle does break, then
44:06
that means we're going to have a lot easier time for 2026 as a
44:10
Bitcoin business, which I'm totally cool with I'm I'm
44:13
totally cool with not seeing another 80% drawdown.
44:16
The last one when I went all in with you here at simply Bitcoin,
44:19
that was rough for me, OK, that was a rough bear market all
44:22
right. I still have PTSD from it and I
44:26
I would be OK with not having a huge bear market next year.
44:31
I, I would be OK with a boring next year where we see only like
44:35
2030% kind of draw down and then we go consolidate sideways and
44:39
then we kind of increase. At some point I would be over
44:43
the moon seeing that. Am I willing to trade that out
44:47
for no more pumps? Like obviously not.
44:50
I don't think that's a very high.
44:52
I think I'll take the draw downs if it means we get crazy 10X
44:56
returns again. But from a business perspective,
45:00
from a, a psychological maybe from a, you know, more of a
45:02
checkmate view of this, where we are maturing, we are growing up
45:06
now and volatility and being all in and living your life off of
45:10
it. I I would like to see that kind
45:12
of flatten out again or flatten out a little that that like just
45:17
makes me feel better. But if we see a blow off top and
45:21
we do what people are saying, you know, we got a 400K this
45:24
year, like I'll, I'll take a, you know, a little return back
45:28
down here again just just to get the dopamine firing again.
45:31
Nico, Like that sounds fun, but just like a since we're doing a
45:35
a kind of, you know, pat ourselves on the back here where
45:38
where, you know, we're self congratulation or self
45:43
congratulatory here. It has been a pretty brutal nine
45:49
months. Like you guys have watched us
45:52
the whole year. The very beginning.
45:54
We're like, OK, you know, this is going to go well.
45:57
And then it didn't do it and we were in disbelief about what the
46:00
price was going to do. And then the last three months
46:02
we've been in this like hopeful and you guys have told us about
46:05
this with our shows. Like it's going to pump next
46:07
week. Like it's pumping.
46:09
It's here and everyone's like, dude, Opti, you were saying that
46:12
like a month ago, like where is the pump?
46:14
I was hopeful, dude. I thought it was coming.
46:17
Now this does feel, yeah, this does feel like optimism.
46:23
Like this does feel like this rally is real.
46:26
And we haven't really, we don't know where it's going to go,
46:29
obviously. But hey, if we do what, 2530%
46:34
gain this month, that's, you know, 135 or something like
46:38
that, right? Like I'll take that for the end
46:41
of the month, 150 by end of month.
46:42
Like I'm all for that and then we see what another 50% gain
46:47
that gives us in the 200 K range.
46:49
I think if we end 200K. But at this point, after all
46:53
we've seen this year, I will be, I will be happy.
46:57
You know, maybe I'm trying to lower my expectations.
47:00
So I'm not disappointed. Obviously all bitcoins going to
47:03
continue to go up. All price gains are are. 126, we
47:06
thought. No, dude, you're tripping.
47:09
We haven't even. We haven't even touched it.
47:10
We did Niko's a bear. Even when we're pumping Niko's a
47:15
bear. This is crazy dude.
47:16
You have you have the worst PTSD ever.
47:20
Like how? All right am I am I going to
47:22
chart boy? Do you guys want me to do 1's in
47:24
the chat if I should chart boy right now one's in the.
47:29
Chat you should save the chart boy for culture guys.
47:31
No, no, no, I got some. I got some stuff talking about
47:34
gold and all this stuff. All right, then pull it up.
47:35
Pull it up. Yeah, all right.
47:37
All right. Ones, I don't even care if
47:38
you're dropping one. I'm going to chart boy a little
47:39
bit. OK, Where where is my chart?
47:43
All right, here we go. Chart boying.
47:45
Buy a new chicken. Thank you, Ron.
47:47
Appreciate it. Dude, the chicken's wack.
47:50
You guys are tripping. I told you the chicken is a
47:52
classic. Chicken's.
47:53
Wack Chicken is a classic. No chicken's here.
47:56
Actually, let me make a make me make a smaller here for a second
47:59
so you guys can see this. Wow, look how small that is.
48:02
All right, all these zaps on. Us Nico is saying 126 is top.
48:09
We literally just broke out of all time high secured that all
48:13
time high support line and you think 126 is all we're gonna get
48:19
right now? It just like no, that's not
48:22
what's happening. Look at this nice green candle
48:24
here. Yesterday's candle broke above
48:29
you know what was resistance to support.
48:31
Now we got a close above that all time high line and now we're
48:34
pumping and you think when 126 top?
48:37
Like come on dude. Niko needs to learn how to chart
48:40
boy. I don't know, man.
48:45
I don't know. I don't know about that.
48:47
I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
48:49
Anyways guys. Oh, they wanted the chart.
48:50
Boy, let's. Go Barry.
48:54
Niko, bring on Sophie. Yeah, Sophie.
48:56
Perma Blair. Alert Sophie.
48:58

51:07
So you guys know I've been watching very closely what's
51:13
going on with gold. I don't hold gold.
51:15
My dad is a gold bug. I'm a bitcoiner, but what we're
51:20
seeing happen in the gold markets, and I've been covering
51:22
this for the last, you know, months now of it's very
51:26
impressive what's going on with gold.
51:28
But it's really telling us a lot more of what's going on in the
51:31
system and really a lot more of what's going on in the
51:34
psychology of investors right now.
51:37
And it's finally catching on, guys.
51:39
It's finally catching on. The signal is finally going
51:44
global. Everyone is talking about this,
51:47
at least in in like in the trader circles.
51:50
I, I wouldn't say everyone because mom and pop on the
51:52
street aren't talking about it yet, but they will soon.
51:55
And what am I talking about? They are now even framing this
52:00
in a new, you know, a new meme. They're calling it a debasement
52:05
trade, which JP Morgan came out and said this.
52:08
I believe it was Thursday or Friday of last week.
52:11
I was actually going to cover it when I was covering JP Morgan
52:13
last week, but I just completely forgot to add it to my show
52:16
notes. It was supposed to be a part of
52:18
that segment. I just completely blank.
52:20
Anyway, JP Morgan golden Bitcoin surged as the basement trade
52:24
gains momentum again on Yahoo fiscal fears fuel flight to
52:28
Bitcoin gold as major currencies falter.
52:31
The so-called quote debasement trade has gained traction amid
52:35
rising national debts and political instability, prompting
52:39
a broad retreat from Fiat assets and and the main signal here is
52:44
of course, gold. I don't know if you guys saw
52:46
this morning, but it's almost at $4000 per oz, which is just,
52:49
it's, it's nuts. It's, it's ripping right now,
52:52
which I think is telling us a lot about what the psychology of
52:56
investors are right now. Again, to kind of break this
53:00
down with the debasement trade, this is what Bitcoiners have
53:02
been talking about for a long time.
53:04
Everyone knows right now you cannot hold Fiat currencies,
53:07
which starts to trickle into, no one wants to hold treasuries.
53:11
This is why we're seeing gold start ripping.
53:13
You're even seeing silver RIP, which is kind of hilarious.
53:15
And of course, Bitcoin is ripping as well.
53:17
Now what you're seeing is people do not want to hold Fiat
53:22
currencies or treasuries. And they're going into, you
53:24
know, the safe haven assets, which historically has been big
53:28
or sorry, gold. But for us, it is Bitcoin.
53:31
And I saw this as well over the weekend, which is absolutely
53:34
nuts. Gold, I think now is up about
53:37
50% and bitcoins up about like 3540% as of today.
53:42
I, I didn't check it live on the show, but they're the two top
53:46
performing major assets so far in 2025.
53:49
And we've never seen gold and Bitcoin be in the number one and
53:52
#2 spots for any calendar year since Bitcoin existence.
53:56
This should be telling you what is going on right now.
54:00
A lot of people do not want to hold the dollars.
54:03
There is a very real concern right now about Fiat debasement,
54:07
Fiat currencies failing. Whether that's going to happen
54:10
anytime soon is probably a totally different conversation.
54:13
But you're seeing people are investing in gold.
54:16
And of course now we will see probably in Q4 they will also
54:20
invest in Bitcoin. And of course, these headlines
54:23
are everywhere. Here's MarketWatch how 1 of
54:25
2025's most popular trades is boosting gold and Bitcoin and
54:28
may keep going during the government shutdown we saw in
54:31
the last six days bitcoins up 10% in all of Q3 it was up about
54:35
6%. This is catching on.
54:38
They're they're starting to wake up to what bit corners have been
54:41
saying for a long time, the quote debasement trade.
54:44
And what's funny is a lot of people are looking at S&P 500
54:50
from the trad fine. They're like, man, dude, we're
54:52
killing it. We're up 40% in the last six
54:54
months. You know, the gold bugs are
54:56
like, gold is nearing $4000 per oz and Bitcoin is now a 2 1/2
55:01
trillion dollar market cap. And what in reality here?
55:05
And Kobayashi hits it. Meanwhile, the US dollar is set
55:08
for the worst year since 1973. Are markets that strong or is
55:12
just the US dollar crashing right now?
55:15
That's how bitcoiners have been thinking about this for a while
55:18
and I think this is how people are going to start to see this
55:21
moving forward is exactly that. It's not that, you know, our
55:26
assets are going up because of productivity etcetera.
55:29
It's really people are losing faith in the store value of Fiat
55:33
currencies and that's really, or rather they're debasing the
55:36
currency and that's why our assets are going up again, going
55:40
further. They, they actually did a, I'm
55:42
pretty sure they messed up here. It should be something unusual
55:45
is happening. Silver is now up 63% in 2025 and
55:49
of course, Bitcoin is going up. And all while the S&P 500 is one
55:53
of its best six months runs in history.
55:55
Like again, what is going on here?
55:58
They're destroying, they're destroying the currency here.
56:01
And this is like the real kicker here.
56:03
Shouts out to Anthony Pompolianos, I saw this going
56:05
around. He wasn't the first one, but I
56:07
like how he put his tweet here. Everyone is bragging the S&P 500
56:11
is up more than 100% since 2020, but the index is actually down
56:15
88% when priced in a hard asset like Bitcoin.
56:18
Bitcoin is the hurdle rate. If you can't beat it, you have
56:20
to buy it. And here's a good chart.
56:22
The S&P 500 has collapsed 88% in Bitcoin term since 2020.
56:26
This is what bitcoiners mean by the debasement trade or Bitcoin
56:30
is the hurdle rate. If you can't outperform Bitcoin,
56:34
then you should just be buying Bitcoin.
56:35
You should just be holding Bitcoin.
56:37
This is starting to catch on. And everyone is looking at the
56:40
numbers. And I think This is why we
56:42
started the show. And we're starting to see that
56:44
all of the institutions, all of Wall Street is pivoting right
56:47
now because they're seeing one, of course, sailor just kill it
56:51
in returns making what, $11 billion in the in the tail end
56:54
of this year. And it's not even over.
56:56
And everyone else is like, you know, looking at their gains at
57:00
S&P 500, they're like, yeah, man, we're killing it.
57:02
They're looking at the gold price.
57:04
They're like, yeah, man, we're killing it when you really price
57:06
it in the new denominator. This is where things start to
57:09
get a little scary if you're not a Bitcoin and and shout out the
57:12
sight bringer. He's been doing a great job and
57:15
this I'm not going to read the whole tweet.
57:16
You guys go final find his Twitter, but he goes golden.
57:19
Bitcoin rising together is a signal and the signal is is that
57:23
the denominator is collapsing. The Fiat denominator is trash
57:28
and we're seeing a shift in how capital seeks refuge when you're
57:31
measuring stick AKA Fiat or dollars itself is degrading.
57:35
Historically, these two assets are reflexive opposites, Gold as
57:39
legacy collateral, Bitcoin as emergent collateral and when
57:42
they synchronize it means something deeper is happening
57:45
Belief itself is fleeing the yield structure guys.
57:48
We're seeing it happen in real time.
57:51
Now, of course, this isn't to go full Fiat doom and like it's
57:54
over tonight and Chicken Little it, but we are seeing that
57:59
things are changing in real time and seeing gold and Bitcoin RIP
58:02
like we're seeing. And of course even the S&P 500
58:05
RIP, silver RIP, all the assets are going up.
58:08
But in reality, you're starting to see that denominator, the
58:11
dollar is not in a good position.
58:13
People don't want to hold it. So again, you guys have been
58:17
right bit corners have been right for a long time.
58:19
But now we're starting to see that the the market is starting
58:23
to get the right signals here and they may be a little too
58:28
little too late. You can argue that, but you're
58:31
starting to see people are waking up to what's happening.
58:34
It's no longer just Bitcoin circles, you know, theorizing
58:37
about this. It's happening in real time and
58:39
they have to take notice of what's happening in Bitcoin.
58:41
So I think that's what's going on with gold right now.
58:44
That's what we're seeing with Bitcoin.
58:46
I think Q4 is going to be bitcoins as we see when gold
58:50
kind of stops, starts, stops pumping, that's when bitcoins
58:52
going to start pumping. So I don't know, guys, this is
58:56
what winning feels like. This is what winning feels like,
58:59
even though it did correct a little bit.
59:00
We're at 1:24 seven, but hey, we're winning, guys.
59:04
The narrative is winning, I. Just got to say Opti's macro
