- 0:00Could you imagine a world without the Federal Reserve?
- 0:02A world where Bitcoin wins? A Bitcoin OG and former corn
- 0:06based executive lays out exactly what this future would look
- 0:09like. So when Bitcoin wins, it ends
- 0:11the Fed. And what does that mean?
- 0:14When Bitcoin wins, the Fed loses control.
- 0:16What if we had a world with a predictable monetary policy?
- 0:19What if we had a world where home prices weren't up an
- 0:21average of 88% the last 10 years?
- 0:23What if we had a world where there were more billionaires
- 0:25from Bitcoin than Fiat? A world where the money printer
- 0:28runs out of ink and sovereign individuals reign?
- 0:31Today we're going to explore a legendary presentation
- 0:34predicting the end of the Fed and a world where Bitcoin wins.
- 0:37This is Dante Cook with Bitcoin. Simply, let's go.
- 0:43When Bitcoin wins, it ends the Fed.
- 0:46And what does that mean? When Bitcoin wins, the Fed loses
- 0:49control. the Fed is actually not just the central Bank of the
- 0:53United States, but it controls many other banks, central banks
- 0:56worldwide, from Japan to Canada to the UK.
- 1:00And that those then in turn control banking licenses.
- 1:03And they can freeze and seize funds.
- 1:05And of course they can print money.
- 1:07And Bitcoin exists outside. The Fed's.
- 1:10Video game OK, so the Fed can freeze and seize everything
- 1:14within this network of banks, but it can't freeze and seize.
- 1:17Bitcoin. It can't.
- 1:18Introduce 21 million plus more more than the 21 million
- 1:21Bitcoin. This was the opening line from
- 1:24Balaji's presentation in Bitcoin Asia and the implications of a
- 1:27world without a Fed can't be overstated.
- 1:30The key function of the Fed today is setting the global
- 1:32savings and borrowing rate for everyone globally.
- 1:35It's the tail that wags the dog for the global credit Fiat based
- 1:39system. As rates change, all prices tied
- 1:42to these rates change, which in turn drives all behavior in all
- 1:45markets. But this hasn't been anywhere
- 1:48near predictable over the past seven years.
- 1:50Look at this chart and tell me that these decisions were made
- 1:53rationally and based on data. Major changes in rates upward or
- 1:57downward predict a recession and depressions 100% of the time.
- 2:01And globally, people are tired of it.
- 2:03They're losing patience with this game that the Fed has been
- 2:06playing. Take a look at this chart from
- 2:08Tavi Costa. For the first time in 30 years,
- 2:10Central banks own more gold than they do U.S.
- 2:14Treasuries. This is an inconceivable chart
- 2:16for the world that most of us have grown up in and experienced
- 2:19where the full faith and credit of the United States government
- 2:22was enough. But people are losing faith in
- 2:24the government and their monetary policy.
- 2:27And when faith falls in the government and in currency, it
- 2:30goes fast. And when Bitcoin wins, it can
- 2:32win very fast. So when the.
- 2:34Faith in currency in Lebanon went to zero when the full faith
- 2:38in credit in the Lebanese # went to zero, Bitcoin was there and
- 2:42it just went vertical like this. OK, so Hodel.
- 2:47When people lose faith in the currency, the government's not
- 2:50going to have new tools. You can't teach an old dog new
- 2:53tricks. They're going to go back to the
- 2:54well and they're going to try to turn on the money printer.
- 2:56But what happens if there's no ink in the printer at all?
- 2:58When Bitcoin wins, the printer runs out of toner.
- 3:01OK, in 2010, there's this really unusually honest article called
- 3:07How to How to Spend 1.25 Trillion.
- 3:09And NPR, unusually, you know, uncommonly at the time, admitted
- 3:14that the Fed had a unique power. It could just print a trillion
- 3:17dollars out of thin air. Now, if you think about what it
- 3:19takes to make a trillion dollars, that's like selling
- 3:21$1000 iPhone to a billion people.
- 3:23That's a trillion in revenue. To make a trillion in profit is
- 3:27another thing entirely because your $1000 phone will have, I
- 3:30don't know, whatever $100, you know, cost, right, You'll have
- 3:33to discount it by the time you get to user 300 million loan 1
- 3:36billion. So to just print a trillion
- 3:39dollars out of nowhere is just this absolute gigantic seizure
- 3:42of wealth that's distributed across billions of people
- 3:45worldwide, not just 300 million Americans.
- 3:47So the entire money printer go Burr era just goes away?
- 3:50Completely. And the printer runs out of
- 3:52toner and and these governments actually need to work for a
- 3:55living. It's just a completely
- 3:56different. World.
- 3:57And this is what kicks off the exciting part of Balaji's
- 3:59presentation. A world where there's sovereign
- 4:01individuals, a world where there's more billionaires from
- 4:04Bitcoin than there are the existing Fiat system.
- 4:06The world will flip from Keynesians to Bitcoiners.
- 4:09Can you imagine a world where the people who are making the
- 4:12decisions believe in creating things, saving things, storing
- 4:15things, spending less than they make?
- 4:17What a novel concept. When Bitcoin wins Fiat
- 4:20billionaires get flipped. And what that means is, you
- 4:23know, several years ago with at Coinbase, we calculated that
- 4:27somewhere between 100,000 and $1 million per Bitcoin, half the
- 4:31world's billionaires become crypto.
- 4:33And that means all Fiat fortunes get diluted down because there's
- 4:37around 2000 something billionaires and around
- 4:40somewhere between 100,000 to $1,000,000 for Bitcoin, you have
- 4:432000 something new crypto billionaires.
- 4:46So all wealth becomes crypto, all property becomes
- 4:50cryptography, and that means global wealth becomes crypto.
- 4:54And so that's what we call the billionaire flipping.
- 4:57And that's kind of already underway.
- 4:58And you're going to see that in the next few years.
- 5:00And that means genuinely risk tolerant capital because that is
- 5:05capital that accrues to individuals as opposed to, you
- 5:09know, things that are attached to the Western state or
- 5:11accumulated in nonprofits. It's really for those who are
- 5:15contrarian but right and bucking the system as opposed to those
- 5:18who are conforming to the system.
- 5:20If you believe that this world was far off, this world was
- 5:22actually predicted almost 30 years ago in 1997 in a book
- 5:27called The Sovereign Individual in a Digital World.
- 5:29As we move into this information age, people are going to be
- 5:32liberated through technology. They're going to be able to work
- 5:36where they want, use whatever currency they want, invest when,
- 5:39where and how they want. And the state is not going to
- 5:42like it. They're going to want to
- 5:43continue to keep their control over the people through
- 5:46inflation and through taxes. But when Bitcoin wins this
- 5:49unstoppable force, this is the type of individual that we will
- 5:52see. And one of the ways that you can
- 5:54become one of these individuals is by not getting rid of the
- 5:57asset that gives you sovereignty in the 1st place.
- 5:59One of the things that the wealthiest people in the world
- 6:01do is they never sell assets. They're held in their family for
- 6:04generation after generation after generation.
- 6:06Well, you can do the same by unlocking liquidity in your
- 6:10Bitcoin without selling your Bitcoin.
- 6:12If you've been faithfully stacking Bitcoin through
- 6:14watching show like this, then there's no reason for you to
- 6:17want to sell it. Lenin has been the leader in
- 6:19Bitcoin back loan since 2018. They foresaw a world where
- 6:23sovereign individuals would not want to sell their Bitcoin, and
- 6:26they've created an institutional grade lending product that
- 6:30allows you to unlock liquidity in your Bitcoin without selling
- 6:32it. You post your Bitcoin as
- 6:34collateral in a cold storage vault and they give you up to
- 6:3750% of loan to value of that Bitcoin that you passed in.
- 6:41So if you want a $5000 loan, you post $10,000 in Bitcoin
- 6:45collateral. The process is simple, smooth,
- 6:47fast and transparent. You can apply for a loan in less
- 6:50than in 2 minutes and get liquidity in your account in
- 6:52less than six hours. They're Bitcoin only, they're
- 6:55reputable, and the stats show they have over 1005 star
- 6:58customer reviews and have never lost a single cent or set of
- 7:01customer money. Loans start at just 12.4%, which
- 7:04is about half of what you could get with a credit card today.
- 7:07If you're a bitcoiner, it's a no brainer.
- 7:09Go to learn dot LED and dot AO slash.
- 7:11Simply one of the ways you can become a sovereign individual is
- 7:14by removing your keys from the custodians.
- 7:17Being a sovereign individual starts with you holding your
- 7:20asset sovereignly. Learn how to do this the right
- 7:22way with a coach from the Bitcoin Way.

- 7:28hold your private keys privately, safely and securely,
- 7:31and how to do it confidently so that you and your family can

- 7:37way. Schedule a free 30 minute

- 7:42Bitcoin. OK, we keep talking about this
- 7:44inevitable future, about the future when Bitcoin wins, not if
- 7:48Bitcoin wins. Why do we have such confidence
- 7:50in this? Well, charts like these tell it
- 7:52all. The USM 2 money supply hit over
- 7:55$22 trillion for a record in July.
- 7:58And when more liquidity floods into the system, while the
- 8:00people that own the most assets tend to benefit the most,
- 8:03creating more and more inequality.
- 8:05And this is just the US money supply.
- 8:07This isn't even the global pot. Whereas we look at with M3 money
- 8:11supply more broadly, controversial figure Fred
- 8:13Krueger actually dropped some knowledge in this by talking
- 8:16about the quadrillion dollar opportunity that's flowing into
- 8:19Bitcoin. Thesis on Bitcoin from my
- 8:22perspective, from an institutional point of view is
- 8:27you've got $150 trillion of M3 out there, pure money.
- 8:33OK, that number is growing at 7% a year.
- 8:38That means it's doubling every 10 years.
- 8:41So if you add in the bonds, the bond market, and I used to be,
- 8:45you know, a bond arbitrage trader at Salomon Brothers,
- 8:47right? So that that market is now $130
- 8:51trillion, OK. So you add in a few other
- 8:56things, you get to roughly $300 trillion of paper out there.
- 8:59We're not talking about stocks. We're not talking about real
- 9:01estate where you can denominate it and there's like $300
- 9:04trillion worth of, you know, dollar, euro, yen and and yuan
- 9:15paper right now, $300 trillion. That's going to be $600 trillion
- 9:21in 10 years. It's going to be 1.2 quadrillion
- 9:24dollars in 20 years. And, and honestly, it's
- 9:29statistic that's just pure stats that, that it's going up, it's
- 9:32never going down. Those, those are the rates Now
- 9:36if you have a quadrillion dollars coming in of, of, of
- 9:40money just, and that's really just money.
- 9:42It's not like assets that have to be moved.
- 9:45Those also can be moved. But a quadrillion dollars of
- 9:48just pure money, some percentage of that money is going to find
- 9:53its way into Bitcoin. And prior to January 11th, 2024,
- 9:58there really wasn't a great way to invest in Bitcoin, right?
- 10:03First of all, it wasn't really legitimate.
- 10:06And you know, you didn't, it didn't have regulatory clarity
- 10:11really, you know, but then you had it's regular.
- 10:14It's, it's, it's, it's an asset that you can hold.
- 10:18It's not going to get you in trouble.
- 10:19It's not a security, it's not going to be deemed, you know,
- 10:22there's not going to be any legal repercussions.
- 10:25Black rocks behind it. So now you have a transformation
- 10:30of this kind of anarchist asset, you know, this screw the man
- 10:35asset to now being a, you know, an actual institutional asset.
- 10:41The unstoppable train of liquidity and capital growth is
- 10:44going to impact Bitcoin. It's going to flow from
- 10:46traditional assets like real estate, bonds and U.S.
- 10:49Treasuries and into this globally accessible sovereign
- 10:53asset. It's already happening and the
- 10:55signs are pointing us there. In the era of money printing and
- 10:58AI gold, Bitcoin and commodities are going to be the best
- 11:01performing assets and it's clear of those 3 assets which is going
- 11:05to be the winner. Just look at the charts.
- 11:07Don't overcomplicate the trade. It's simple.
