Transcript
- 0:00After the biggest flash crash in Bitcoin history, Larry Fink went
- 0:04on 60 Minutes and he said this. I did say Bitcoin, because we
- 0:10were talking about Bitcoin then, was the domain of money
- 0:14launderers and thief. But you know, the markets teach
- 0:17you. You have to always relook at
- 0:20your assumptions. There is a role for crypto in
- 0:24the same way there's a role for gold.
- 0:27That is, it's an alternative for those looking to diversify.
- 0:31This is not a bad asset. Bitcoin crashed $20,000 in a
- 0:36matter of minutes, and Larry Fink, who you could argue is the
- 0:39most powerful man on the planet, is more bullish than ever.
- 0:43Bitcoin is already rebounded, and there's not enough people to
- 0:46dig graves for the shit coins that were massacred in the Great
- 0:50Flash Crash of October 10th. And he isn't alone.
- 0:54Larry Fink's top assistant, Donald the Orange, is also
- 0:57doubling down. Now with nearly a billion
- 1:00dollars in exposure to Bitcoin. Is the trade war back on?
- 1:04Is October cancelled or is Valhalla right around the
- 1:07corner? We got a massive show today.
- 1:09Get those diapers ready, because believe it or not, Bitcoin is
- 1:13ready to rock. That's right.
- 1:23Look, I'm I'm very bullish on the long term viability of
- 1:28Bitcoin was. Gonna say did that surprise did.
- 1:30That surprise me how much that's gone up.
- 1:32I mean, look at it's, it's, it is we're we're creating now a
- 1:36market that has more liquidity, more transparency.
- 1:39And I'm I'm pleasantly surprised and I would never have predicted
- 1:43it before we filed it that we were going to see this type of
- 1:46retail. So you thought you'd do good,
- 1:48but not this good. I thought yes, yes.
- 1:52Definitely. I bid Is your ETF over at
- 1:55iShares? It's about to overtake
- 1:58Grayscale, which was in the business certainly a lot longer.
- 2:03You look at the gains since January 11th when it first came
- 2:07about. Have you ever seen this much
- 2:10inflow this quickly into? Ibid is the fastest growing ETF
- 2:15in the history of ETFs. All right, let's talk about
- 2:19Larry freaking Pink, The $12 trillion man himself, the CEO of
- 2:23BlackRock, the most powerful financial institution on earth,
- 2:27just went on 60 minutes and told the world he was wrong about
- 2:30Bitcoin. Quote, there was a role for
- 2:32Bitcoin and crypto the same way there is a role for gold.
- 2:35This is not a bad asset. You heard that right.
- 2:39Not a bad asset. That's right, the same guy who
- 2:42called Bitcoin quote for money launderers and thieves is now
- 2:45basically calling it digital gold.
- 2:47And it gets better. Think straight up admitted his
- 2:49past mistakes. He said markets teach you to
- 2:52rethink your assumptions. Translation.
- 2:55I faded Bitcoin and I was wrong. Larry's getting humble now.
- 2:58While your average investor was panic selling during the flash
- 3:01crash, Blackrock's Bitcoin ETF I bet just broke a 90 billion in
- 3:05assets under management now ranking in the top 20 ETFs in
- 3:09the entire U.S. market market. And this interview aired the
- 3:13same day gold hit a $27 trillion market cap in a fresh all time
- 3:17high. It's interesting the evolution
- 3:19because Fink is now echoing Samsung Maus 4th turning logic
- 3:22times of chaos. You want real self sovereign
- 3:26assets and now the most powerful man in finance just admitted
- 3:29Bitcoin belongs in the same conversation.
- 3:32So when Larry Fink and BlackRock, the literal
- 3:34architects of the legacy system, start praising Bitcoin on
- 3:38national TV, you know something seismic is happening.
- 3:42Bitcoin just graduated from rebellion to reserve.
- 3:45And right after Larry Fink went full orange build on 60 minutes,
- 3:48guess who's joining him in the Bitcoin big leagues?
- 3:51That's right, Donald the orange himself.
- 3:54According to Coin Telegraph in Forbes, the president now
- 3:57controls roughly 870 million in Bitcoin exposure, putting him
- 4:01right up there with Michael Saylor, the Winkle Dye, and Tim
- 4:04Draper. Wait, so let me get this
- 4:05straight. The guy who once tweeted that
- 4:07Bitcoin was a thin air like Liz Warren now holds almost a
- 4:11billion dollars worth of it. We are truly living in the
- 4:14fourth turning. So how'd we get here?
- 4:16Trump owns 41% of Trump Media. That's the company behind Truth
- 4:20Social. Earlier this year, they raised
- 4:22over 2.3 billion and then dropped 2 billion of that right
- 4:25into Bitcoin. Boom.
- 4:27Suddenly the president of the United States is one of the
- 4:30largest indirect Bitcoin holders on the planet.
- 4:33And get this, Trump Media's balance sheet now holds more
- 4:36Bitcoin than multiple publicly traded companies combined.
- 4:39He basically copied the sailor playbook.
- 4:41Turn your company into a Bitcoin treasury and inside the orange
- 4:44wave, you know how the Colonel lived so that we could chicken?
- 4:48Well, Sailor walked so Donald could moonwalk into Bitcoin
- 4:52Valhalla. This is wild because Trump's not
- 4:54just a holder, he's now financially incentivized to make
- 4:57Bitcoin succeed. Staying with Larry and sure
- 5:00enough, the genius act, executive actions in Bitcoin
- 5:03superpower and crypto capital of the world rhetoric.
- 5:05Well, they're all pointing in One Direction toward Bitcoin
- 5:09dominance. So think about it.
- 5:11Larry thinks calling Bitcoin digital gold.
- 5:13Trump's hoarding nearly a billion in it.
- 5:15You don't really need a PhD in macroeconomics to see what's
- 5:19coming next. They're not betting on the
- 5:21dollar, they're betting on Bitcoin.
- 5:23Now we're about to break down the biggest flash crash in
- 5:26Bitcoin history, $20,000 God, in a matter of minutes.
- 5:30What the hell happened? Well, you're about to find out.
- 5:32But before we bring it home and explain the bullishness of the
- 5:35current situation, look at our likes 3 or 4 times.
- 5:39Maybe. I'll pump those numbers up.
- 5:41Those are rookie numbers in this racket.

- 6:32talk about what the hell just happened Friday at 9:30 AM the
- 6:36Eastern. The total crypto market cap was
- 6:38sitting pretty at 4 point, 1 trillion, flirting with a new
- 6:41record. But by 5:20 PM, just 8 hours
- 6:44later, we were down to 3.3 trillion.
- 6:47That's 800 billion erased, $100 billion an hour for eight
- 6:51straight hours. They say money doesn't grow on
- 6:54trees. Well, apparently it evaporates
- 6:56faster than FTX liquidity on a Friday night.
- 6:59And this wasn't just a crash. This was the largest liquidation
- 7:02event in the history of Bitcoin and crypto.
- 7:04Over 1.6 million traders got liquidated.
- 7:10Those poor degenerate souls. 19 billion in leveraged positions
- 7:15wiped out in 24 hours. That's nine times the previous
- 7:18record. To put it in perspective, this
- 7:21crash was $17 billion bigger than February's meltdown.
- 7:25And Are you ready for this? 19 times larger than the March
- 7:282020 or FDX collapses. Never seen anything like this.
- 7:34Bitcoin alone recorded a 20,000 cut buck daily candle.
- 7:39That's a three $80 billion swing and market cap.
- 7:42For comparison, that's more than the entire value of Disney,
- 7:45Coca-Cola or McDonald's gone and back in a single day.
- 7:49So what triggered this digital apocalypse?
- 7:52Let's walk through the timeline, because this looks a lot less
- 7:55random than it seems. At 9:50 AM, crypto starts to
- 7:59slide. At 10:57 AM, Trump drops his
- 8:02tariff post. Then at 4:30 PM, a massive whale
- 8:05loads up short positions, and 20 minutes later Trump announces
- 8:09100% tariff on China. By 5:20 PM, markets are in full
- 8:13meltdown and the same whale closes out for a tidy $192
- 8:17million profit. You're telling me that whale
- 8:20just coincidentally timed the largest crypto liquidation ever
- 8:24within 30 minutes of a presidential announcement?
- 8:27Here's the post mortem. This wasn't a fundamentals
- 8:29collapse. It was leverage, greed, and thin
- 8:32liquidity. 16.7 billion in longs got liquidated compared to 2.5
- 8:37billion in shorts. That's almost 7:00 to 1:00.
- 8:40Every major exchange except Bitfinex on 90% plus long
- 8:44positions get blown up. One platform alone, hyper liquid
- 8:48accounted for 10.3 billion. The same one our mystery whale
- 8:51used. Bottom line, this was a perfect
- 8:54storm. Too much leverage, too much
- 8:56greed, and one well timed tariff bomb.
- 9:00But guess what? Bitcoin already recovered.
- 9:02This wasn't the end. It was a reset, a technical
- 9:05correction. The weak hands just got flushed
- 9:08and the market could be primed for the next leg up.
- 9:11So yeah, the biggest crash in Bitcoin history.
- 9:13And yet Bitcoins already bouncing back like a cockroach
- 9:16after nuclear war. This is the orange ocean baby.
- 9:19The storm clears and the signal stays.
- 9:22They naked 278 billion in 45 minutes.
- 9:26The biggest flash crash in Bitcoin history and they still
- 9:28couldn't break 100K. Now we're less than 5% from pre
- 9:33crash. All we see is green.
- 9:36And the tariff panic. The odds of 100% tariffs on
- 9:39China just dropped to 11% on polymarket.
- 9:42So yeah, the market basically panic sold for nothing.
- 9:44The bears are out of honey. And meanwhile gold's down 84%
- 9:49versus Bitcoin since 2020. Bitcoin is the hurdle rate, if
- 9:53you can't beat it, you buy it. And while everyone else was
- 9:56crying, MicroStrategy bought another 220 Bitcoin, bringing
- 10:00their stack to 640,000 BTC. Binks and Trump's and sailors
- 10:05stacking shit coins are in the crapper and Bitcoin doesn't
- 10:08care. Yesterday's crash wasn't the
- 10:10end, it was the reset. The real bull run it starts now
