Latest / Simply Bitcoin / Jerome Powell FIRED? | Why $1M Bitcoin Is NOW In Play! | Simply Originals
Transcript
- 0:00You better brace yourself, because today's news might go
- 0:03down in history. the Fed chair might be gone.
- 0:09That's right. Jerome Powell.
- 0:10Fired, replaced, erased. This has never happened before,
- 0:15and it's all breaking right now. We've heard the resignation
- 0:19talk. This is not speculation anymore.
- 0:22And if Powell's out, you know what that means.
- 0:25The dollar's grip is slipping and Bitcoin is breaking the
- 0:28entire Fiat matrix. Welcome back.
- 0:31I'm Rustin and we've got a massive show today.
- 0:34Ed chairman is about to get fired.
- 0:36Bitcoins perfect storm is staring us in the face.
- 0:40We have massive legislation being voted on today and Adam
- 0:45back and Cynthia Lummus, well, they're saying what would what
- 0:48what we believe for years, $10 million Bitcoin is not a dream.
- 0:53It's the end game. Rome Powell has done a terrible
- 1:01job and frankly, I don't think he could do a worse job.
- 1:04Let's get into this because I know what you're thinking.
- 1:07You can't fire the Fed Chairman Rustin.
- 1:10Actually, that's Bubba bullshit. While no Federal Reserve chair
- 1:15has ever been fired or removed from office by a president, the
- 1:18Federal Reserve Act allows the president to remove board
- 1:22members, including the chair, for cause.
- 1:25But this authority has never been exercised in the agency's
- 1:29history. All chairs have either completed
- 1:31their terms, resigned voluntarily, often for other
- 1:34roles or personal reasons, or just not reappointed at the end
- 1:38of their term. And the White House has formally
- 1:41begun the search for Powell's replacement.
- 1:43You said previously the interview process would begin
- 1:46later on in the fall. There's been plenty of
- 1:48speculation as to whether that process would be brought
- 1:50forward. Mr. Secretary, do you still, as
- 1:52far as you understand, believe that's when the interview
- 1:54process to replace the Fed chair will begin in the fall or as a
- 1:58formal process already starts? That's it.
- 2:00Well, look, there's a formal process that's already starting.
- 2:03There are a lot of great candidates and, you know, we'll
- 2:07see how rapidly it progresses. It's President Trump's decision
- 2:12and it will move at his speed. Do.
- 2:15You see any merits at all in selecting maybe a candidate
- 2:18that's already on the committee on the FMC versus taking a look
- 2:22at someone outside of the Federal Reserve?
- 2:25Again, there are a lot of good candidates inside and outside
- 2:29the Federal Reserve, Jonathan. Has the chairman himself, the
- 2:32Fed chair Jay Powell, given you any indication whatsoever as to
- 2:36what he would do once his term has expired?
- 2:39Will he vacate his seat as the governor of the Federal Reserve?
- 2:43Well, traditionally the the Fed chair also steps down as a
- 2:48governor and there's been a lot of talk of a shadow Fed chair
- 2:53causing confusion in advance of his or her nomination.
- 2:58And I can tell you, I think it'd be very confusing for the market
- 3:01for a former Fed chair to stay on also.
- 3:05This is unprecedented, the last time a Fed chair was ousted in
- 3:10chaos, never Bitcoin at new all time highs.
- 3:13And Powell is on the chopping block.
- 3:16There's some sort of beautiful symbolism there.
- 3:19And Senator Cynthia Lummus just dropped this hammer.
- 3:22She said get him out. The swamp is eating its own.
- 3:26The Fed's credibility is collapsing.
- 3:28And look at what Deutsche Bank is saying here.
- 3:30Firing pal could trigger AUS dollar and bond market collapse.
- 3:34And you know what that means? Omega could be closer than you
- 3:38think. Oh, is that too bullish for you?
- 3:41Let me water it down for you. Here's the bearish outcome. 400K
- 3:47and what do you got? Drop your predictions below, but
- 3:49either way, it's not looking good for that ass hat Peter
- 3:53Zyhan. Let's go ahead and check in on
- 3:55him real quick. Absolutely wreck like the Fed
- 4:01and Jerome Powell's career and Peter Schiff just look at and
- 4:05see and resignation would be a little disappointing.
- 4:09Still bullish. But I know you're like me and
- 4:12you want to hear Jerome, you're fired, get out.
- 4:15But hey, if firing the Fed chairman and destroying the
- 4:19credibility of the Federal Reserve forever is not bullish
- 4:24enough for you, check this out. After failing yesterday, it
- 4:27looks like all three bills are set to be advanced today.
- 4:31This is all going down today, this afternoon.
- 4:34So we're likely to see some very interesting price action.
- 4:38Imagine being those Republicans who get called into the
- 4:41principal's office and it looks like the orange man spanked them
- 4:44into submission. I guess rumblings that maybe the
- 4:47votes weren't there. And then, you know, the
- 4:48president met with with some individuals yesterday.
- 4:51Are you confident now it's that the votes are there?
- 4:56I believe that we do have the votes to advance the Senate
- 5:00Genius Act, which will create the first federally regulated
- 5:05with clear rules, dollar back payment, stable coin, which will
- 5:08unleash a new competitive round and how payments are done when
- 5:12they're used in a blockchain application.
- 5:15We also have the houses work on market structure, which we work
- 5:19through the House AG Committee and the House Financial Services
- 5:22Committee, strong bipartisan support for that bill.
- 5:26And then finally Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota.
- 5:29Mr. Emmer has his bill that blocks the federal government
- 5:32from creating a central bank digital currency through the Fed
- 5:37unless it's done with a specific authorization through Congress.
- 5:40So I believe that the House has the votes for those 3 measures
- 5:44and the Speaker is working this morning on how they'll be
- 5:48coordinated and presented to the House for consideration.
- 5:52What's your? What do you think?
- 5:54How long it won't be today? Well, it was supposed to be
- 5:58today. Well, we expected to vote on
- 6:01clarity this afternoon and also vote on the defense
- 6:05appropriations bill and then vote on Genius, the Senate's
- 6:09stable coin bill tomorrow. So right now, I think that based
- 6:13on the work yesterday of a small number of members taking down
- 6:17the House rule is still under discussion this morning as to
- 6:21how that'll be sequenced and brought back to the House.
- 6:23Oh wait, there's more. We have banks and sovereign
- 6:26wealth funds to get to the green light means go for something.
- 6:31If you recall, that's right, the original $5,000,000 Michael
- 6:35Saylor prophecy. And Catelyn Long says strap in,
- 6:38because big things are coming July 22nd.
- 6:41One thing we haven't talked about yet which is the report
- 6:44from the Treasury Department that's coming out on crypto on
- 6:48July 22nd, which was which is 180 days after the initial
- 6:52crypto executive order. And I am hearing rumors and
- 6:56believe very strongly that that is going to be a watershed event
- 7:00and the stable coin bill is out there in the mix as well.
- 7:05Those those two things I think are going to massively change
- 7:09the dynamic in just the next few weeks.
- 7:12And I think a lot, again, a lot of folks who sat back thinking
- 7:16and hoping and praying that this would go away are about to be
- 7:20rolled over by an incredible wave of innovation that's coming
- 7:25from this industry. The suddenly part of gradually
- 7:29then suddenly comes in a hurry. And there are nearly countless
- 7:33catalysts for Bitcoin to go nuclear right now.
- 7:36Like this. 30 year treasury bills are back over 5%.
- 7:41PPI has come in below expectations and not good.
- 7:46Japan's bond yields are going parabolic.
- 7:49Here's a good question. What happens when Japan has to
- 7:52offload Treasuries to prop things up?
- 7:54The Colonel says we're dangerously close.
- 7:57Well, tell you what happens, Bitcoin teleports.
- 7:59That's what happens. And I've got some numbers here
- 8:02that are displaying the mother of all supply shocks mow ass and
- 8:06they're going to blow your mind. Let's go ahead and start with
- 8:08the plebs. You hear blah blah, BlackRock
- 8:10and the rest, but this is major signal.
- 8:13Shrimps, crab, fish, they are all buying more Bitcoin than
- 8:17miners produce and the institutions are not letting up
- 8:21anytime soon. Demand is actually surging and
- 8:24now public companies hold 91 billion dollars plus in Bitcoin.
- 8:29The levy is going to break and when it does, it's going to
- 8:33rattle your sphincter. But you know, we could get into
- 8:36the specifics, but I think the big picture is that regulatory
- 8:40uncertainty, the lack of regulatory clarity has been the
- 8:42reason for 15-16 years that the mainstream capital markets
- 8:48haven't felt comfortable engaging with that space.
- 8:50That's changing this year and it's opening a new chapter and
- 8:54this week is it is an important step on that front.
- 8:57You reckon that we could be looking at Excuse Me at Bitcoin
- 9:01at $200,000 by the end of the year?
- 9:05That's right. Yeah.
- 9:06Every year our research team led by our CIO Matt Hogan put out
- 9:10some predictions, 10 predictions and and $200,000 Bitcoin is is
- 9:16our prediction for the ending price of Bitcoin this year.
- 9:20What will push it higher? Partly institutions more
- 9:23comfortable. Yeah.
- 9:26You know, it's, it sounds so basic, but for, for 15 years,
- 9:31crypto and Bitcoin has been a very hard asset class for the,
- 9:35you know, $100 trillion capital markets to participate in.
- 9:38And that's changing. This year is a different year
- 9:41and the beginning of a different chapter.
- 9:43And the reason it's changing is because of this topic of
- 9:45regulation. It's now opening up.
- 9:48Banks are engaging, corporates are engaging, sovereign wealth
- 9:50funds are engaging and and that's creating flows that are
- 9:55outstripping the supply that's available and and we're seeing
- 9:58price push higher throughout the course of this year already.
- 10:02What is the end game here? Where is Bitcoin headed?
- 10:05Well, the legend Adam Back, who just closed a $4 billion deal
- 10:09with Cantor Fitzgerald and the Bitcoin Senator are about to
- 10:12bring it home for us. But before the big finish, Look
- 10:15at our likes 3 or 4 times, maybe I.

- 11:22today, go hit a meet up and start stacking friends who stack
- 11:25sets today big finish time we're going to 10 million a coin.
- 11:31$10,000 was a pipe dream and never going to happen, right?
- 11:33So I think half any was just like, you know, a decade ahead
- 11:37of his curve in terms of thinking about, you know, that
- 11:40this could actually happen, right?
- 11:41So I think, you know, because if everybody was 100% convinced,
- 11:46but it's going there, it would already be there, right?
- 11:48And so there's there's got to be doubt about the, you know, the
- 11:53pace of adoption, how much more money is, you know, what the
- 11:57addressable market actually is. We don't we don't fully know.
- 11:59I mean, I think Halfine's estimate is reasonable because
- 12:02still today, you know, even they made it is because there is a
- 12:05lot of monetary premium where people are trying to protect
- 12:10themselves from inflation and safe by, you know, buying real
- 12:12estate. In some cases they're not even
- 12:14using it. It's just vacant.
- 12:15But you know, there's a lot of that in New York and China are
- 12:18in different places, right? And that is not a great thing
- 12:22because it makes housing less affordable.
- 12:24And if there was a, you know, financial products or a monetary
- 12:28instrument that did that for you, it would make housing more
- 12:30affordable. So improve, you know, cost of
- 12:34housing, access to housing, quality of housing that you can
- 12:37afford on a budget. So those will all be good
- 12:39things. And there are other things with
- 12:41monetary premium or where people are trying to protect against
- 12:44inflation and like in the bond market and some more esoteric
- 12:48things like alt wine where people use that as a kind of
- 12:53novel way to protect against inflation.
- 12:55And if you Add all that stuff up, it's 200 trillion is
- 13:00possibly a conservative estimate at this point because had a lot
- 13:03of inflation between 2:00 and. There is no stopping this train
- 13:09to $200 trillion. Talk about how you communicate
- 13:13what's going on in this industry in just a second.
- 13:15But our last Spotlight episode featured Michael Saylor, and he
- 13:19really kind of unpacked his plan towards this $200 trillion
- 13:24Bitcoin network. You mentioned him as one of the
- 13:27people you you speak to about what's going on in this
- 13:29industry. You, you listen to what he has
- 13:31to say. Do you think that Bitcoin can be
- 13:34a $200 trillion network? I do I, I When you look at the
- 13:40fact that it is fully decentralized, that it is
- 13:45immutable, that it is scarce, that is more of it is might.
- 13:52The volatility is going to decline.
- 13:56Its use cases will expand. All of these events surrounding
- 14:03as it matures as an asset are going to make it more useful.
- 14:08It is faster. It is cheaper.
- 14:11The Lightning network that now can lay on top of it makes it
- 14:15more useful as a means of exchange.
- 14:18Its continued growth as a store of value is going to be, I
- 14:23think, its strongest future use. When you look at the US dollar,
- 14:29that the custom inflation is declining in value every year
- 14:36much more quickly than we'd like to see.
- 14:39Its use case as a store of value is not good.
- 14:48It's use case as a means of exchange is very strong, always
- 14:52will be. But if I was going to save, I'd
- 14:55want to save in Bitcoin, not in U.S. dollars.
- 15:00So I think we're seeing more and more people realize that it
- 15:08because it's immutable, because it's easy to store and retain
- 15:14either in an individual wallet or through a custodian.
- 15:18It's easy to buy now because of the exchange traded funds that
- 15:23have been created by very blue chip companies that people are
- 15:29used to using for all kinds of investments.
- 15:31It's become more available and user friendly for people who are
- 15:37more used to traditional assets and I think all these things,
- 15:42when you add them together, have expanded the use case for
- 15:46Bitcoin. Drompal is on the way out, GFY,
- 15:50the Dollar is on life support, and Bitcoin is entering a new
- 15:54era. This is the perfect storm.
- 15:56Legal clarity, institutional FOMO, Fiat chaos and memes
- 16:00becoming our monetary policy. So if you're holding dollars,
- 16:04good luck. If you're holding Bitcoin,
- 16:06congratulations, you're early. Stay humble, Stack Sats and tell
- 16:10Peter Zahan to have fun staying poor.
