Latest / Simply Bitcoin / The Banking System Just BROKE (And Warren Buffett Knows It) | Bitcoin Simply
Transcript
- 0:00When the greatest investor of all time is this, cautious
- 0:02markets should pay attention. Over the last three years,
- 0:05Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway have sold over $184
- 0:09billion worth of stocks. This comes at a time when stock
- 0:12market valuations are even richer than they were at the.com
- 0:15bubble. And if you needed more signal,
- 0:17well, on Friday you weren't paying attention to the meltdown
- 0:20that was happening in the banking system, probably because
- 0:23you were too busy getting your Halloween costume ready. the Fed
- 0:25had to inject $50 billion into the system in a single day.
- 0:29The high since March of 2020. Bit corners were probably still
- 0:33mourning the fact that they had a Red October for the first time
- 0:36since 2018, but completely ignoring the fact that the
- 0:39system is screaming that it needs to be saved.
- 0:42Consumer spending tanking, bank reserves dropping off a Cliff,
- 0:45and banks sitting on more unrealized losses and else than
- 0:48the Pelicans without a first round draft pick next year.
- 0:51This isn't time to panic. This is the time that bit
- 0:53corners told you was going to come.
- 0:55Banks will collapse, and when they do, the Fed will have no
- 0:58choice but to inject liquidity into this system.
- 1:00This is the end game, and this is Dante Koch with Bitcoin.
- 1:03Simply, let's break it down. Ria is dipping in.
- 1:10For the first time, Yeah. Well, the biggest conversation
- 1:14gets back to to what you know you you alluded to at the start,
- 1:19which is trying to understand the risk and return drivers of
- 1:22this. Because when you look at it
- 1:24fundamentally as a global scarce emerging monetary instrument
- 1:28that that looks a lot like digital gold to many people.
- 1:31And that is detached from the risk factors that affect any one
- 1:35country or their economy, monetary, political, fiscal
- 1:38situation, et cetera. That looks like a diversifier
- 1:41and a hedge and on a fundamental level.
- 1:43But then you see this noise in terms of short term trading
- 1:46episodes where people talk about risk on.
- 1:48That's a bit of a dubious concept to to begin with.
- 1:51The reason why $11 trillion BlackRock is calling Bitcoin a
- 1:55diversifier in a hedge is because they understand what's
- 1:57going on behind the scenes. The current system is collapsing
- 2:00right in front of our eyes. Banks woke up on Friday morning
- 2:03like Kevin Hart. Help me, help me.
- 2:08At 8:30 in the morning, the Fed jumped in to inject $20 billion
- 2:12of liquidity to banks that were screaming for help.
- 2:14And in case that wasn't enough, they needed another $30 billion
- 2:17injection by 1:30 that same day. What happened to cost such a
- 2:21major investment from the Fed? Well, it's the private credit
- 2:24market in the banks that have been screaming for the last
- 2:26several weeks that there has been trouble in the system.
- 2:28Well, we're starting to understand and see exactly
- 2:30what's going on. The bank's liquidity is drying
- 2:32up. We haven't seen this much
- 2:34liquidity flow into the system since September of 2019 when the
- 2:37system completely dry and there was complete stagnancy in
- 2:40markets all across the globe. Banks have been sitting on
- 2:43unrealized losses for years, holding long duration Treasury
- 2:46bills that are now coming to roost.
- 2:48And banks have this crisis on their hands and so does the Fed,
- 2:51which is why Jerome Powell says that they need to start to begin
- 2:54to grow their balance sheet. He says at a certain point.
- 2:57Freeze the size of the balance sheet, the non reserve
- 2:59liabilities currency, for example, they're going to
- 3:01continue to grow organically. And because the size of the
- 3:04balance sheet is frozen, you have further shrinkage in in
- 3:07reserves and reserves. This is the thing that we're
- 3:09that we're managing that has to be ample.
- 3:11So that'll happen for a time, but not a not a tremendously
- 3:15long time. We don't know exactly how long,
- 3:17but at a certain point you'll want to start grow.
- 3:20You want to start reserves to start gradually growing to keep
- 3:23up with, you know, the size of the banking system and the size
- 3:26of the economy. So we'll be adding reserves at a
- 3:29certain point. I'm such a kid.
- 3:31When he said shrinkage, I, I did laugh.
- 3:33I'm going to be real. But back to the point, that
- 3:35certain point is now, like Count Dracula sucking blood out of
- 3:39somebody's neck. The regional banks have been
- 3:41sucking liquidity out of the bank repo system as bank
- 3:44reserves are now lower than $3 billion, meaning the only way to
- 3:48sustain the system is injection. the US banking system is sort of
- 3:51like a junkie that can only survive if it gets another hit
- 3:54of liquidity. You know what I'm saying?
- 3:57And the only thing holding up this entire market right now is
- 4:00this AI bubble investment thesis.
- 4:02The consumer markets actually look pretty rough. 1 great
- 4:05indicator that you can always look at on your own if you want
- 4:07to do your research is the freight markets.
- 4:09Because when the freights ain't shipping, we ain't buying.
- 4:12Freights tend to move when we're buying groceries, when we're
- 4:14buying consumer goods and we're more buying product.
- 4:16Well, when the demand for drivers go down and the volume
- 4:19of freight goes down, that means less people are buying.
- 4:21Pretty simple. Back to the AI thing.
- 4:23This is honestly the biggest red herring that leads me to believe
- 4:26that this thing is going to pop and when they do, they are going
- 4:29to have to inject liquidity into the system because there is no
- 4:32entire market overall. It's just the stock market.
- 4:35There's not Main Street and Wall Street.
- 4:37Main Street is struggling, there's only Wall Street.
- 4:39And this clip right here tells me exactly why I believe this AI
- 4:43hype bubble will burst. justlikethe.com bubble in 2000.
- 4:47How? You know, how can the company
- 4:49with 13 billion in revenues make 1.4 trillion of spend
- 4:54commitments? You know, and, and, and you've
- 4:56heard the criticism. Saying we're doing well, more
- 4:59revenue than that. Second of all, Brad, if you want
- 5:01to sell your shares, I'll find you a buyer.
- 5:03I, I just enough like, you know, people are I, I think there's a
- 5:09lot of people who would love to buy opening eye shares.
- 5:11I don't. I don't.
- 5:12Think you, Including myself, including myself.
- 5:15Who talk with a lot of like breathless concern about our
- 5:18compute stuff or whatever that would be thrilled to buy shares.
- 5:21So I think we we could sell you know your shares or anybody
- 5:24else's to some of the people who are making the most noise on
- 5:26Twitter. Whatever about this very
- 5:27quickly. We do plan for revenue to grow
- 5:30steeply. Revenue is growing steeply.
- 5:32We are taking a forward bet that it's going to continue to grow
- 5:35and that not only will chat to BT keep growing, but we will be
- 5:39able to become one of the important AI clouds that our
- 5:42consumer device business will be a significant and important
- 5:47thing that AI that can automate science will create huge value.
- 5:51So, you know, there are not many times that I want to be a public
- 5:56company, but one of the rare what times it's appealing is
- 5:59when those people are writing these ridiculous open AI is
- 6:01about to go out of business and you know, whatever.
- 6:03I would love to tell them they could just short the stock and I
- 6:05would love to see them get burned on that.
- 6:08But. Whenever you see somebody to get
- 6:10this defensive and this aggressive when just ask a
- 6:12simple question, how are you going to sustain $1.4 trillion
- 6:16in investments when you only have 13 billion in revenue right
- 6:19now? Let me translate.
- 6:21It's a Ponzi scheme where we need the media hype cycles to
- 6:24continue to push out press releases of how much investment
- 6:27and forward investments we're getting to sustain the revenues
- 6:29that we have and the costs and expenses that we have that are
- 6:32rising faster than the revenues. This is a Ponzi scheme happening
- 6:35in plain sight and we've seen this before.
- 6:37And when the AI bubble pops, the Fed won't have any choice but to
- 6:40step in and prop up markets. And Warren Buffett knows this
- 6:42correction is coming. We told you at the beginning of
- 6:44the episode, they've been selling for three straight years
- 6:48$184 billion worth of stocks. They actually have $382 billion
- 6:52worth of cash, enough to buy 477 of 500 S&P 500 companies in
- 6:58cash. And when that happens, people
- 7:00are going to panic and they're going to think the system is
- 7:02stopped or the system is broken. Well, the normal financial
- 7:05system will stop and the banking system will be shut down, sort
- 7:08of like what Scott Besson said. That won't happen to Bitcoin.
- 7:12It's the only system that isn't going to be shut down, unlike
- 7:15what he calls the Democrats shooting a little shot right
- 7:17there and this system shut down. This calamity going on the US
- 7:21financial banking system is exactly what Uncle Ray Ray is
- 7:24saying is the leading cause as to why central bankers and
- 7:27countries are buying gold. It's likely that those deficits
- 7:32will then produce lots of bond sales, which will compound it
- 7:36when you get into the porn in the cycle where debt is needed
- 7:40to pay debt. OK.
- 7:42Pause. I think he meant point, but
- 7:45let's continue. And compounds, it becomes a a
- 7:48problem. It becomes a problem also for
- 7:50the central banks because the central banks, by the way, this
- 7:54is not just an American problem, this is a world problem.
- 7:56The central banks themselves owned, owned the debt and so,
- 8:03and they lose money on the debt. And so when they're losing money
- 8:07on the debt and, and they have asset liability problems, then
- 8:13they also not only have to monetize essentially the other
- 8:18the government's debt, but they also have to monetize theirs.
- 8:22And those are the characteristics that produce a
- 8:25deterioration in the monetary order.
- 8:27And that's, you know, that's why what you're seeing.
- 8:30You're seeing a dynamic of why countries, for example, are are
- 8:36letting the reserves or their assets in bonds and so on go
- 8:42down and they're acquiring and have been acquiring gold, for
- 8:45example. The major winner of the 21st
- 8:48century won't be gold. Gold cannot be moved and
- 8:52translated at the speed of light as a digital asset like Bitcoin.
- 8:55We're moving to a stable coin, fully digitally backed system
- 8:58that needs a hard asset, and that asset will be Bitcoin.
- 9:01It's no wonder that treasury secretaries got Besant is
- 9:04talking about Bitcoin and tweets.
- 9:06But before we go any further, let's go to our sponsors.
- 9:08Lenin has been the leader in Bitcoin back loan since 2018.
- 9:11They know what the supreme digital asset in the world is
- 9:14and that's Bitcoin. Like a house.
- 9:16You don't want to sell the house or sell off a corner of your
- 9:19house to get liquidity from it. You take out a home equity line
- 9:21of credit. What people do the same thing
- 9:23with Bitcoin. They don't sell their Bitcoin.
- 9:24They unlock liquidity in their Bitcoin without selling it.
- 9:27So if you want a $3000 loan while you post $6000 in Bitcoin
- 9:30collateral, there's no credit checks and loan started just 12
- 9:33.4% Fiat gets in your account in less than six hours.

- 10:15Bitcoin has been chopping sideways and it's because
- 10:17there's been a lot of liquidity sloshing around in the system,
- 10:20but that liquidity actually hasn't been flowing into Bitcoin
- 10:23as much as people think. Some analysts like Willie Wu,
- 10:25which I always reserve my, you know, questions for, say that he
- 10:29doesn't see liquidity flowing into Bitcoin and that's why the
- 10:31system has been a bit choppy. But he also also says this is
- 10:34exactly the time when we see the blow off top, when Bitcoin rises
- 10:38from 2000 to 20,000 in a blink of an eye.
- 10:41Listen to what he has to say right here.
- 10:43I just do really dumb shit which is measure the flow of capital
- 10:47coming in. I don't look at why, I don't
- 10:50speculate why I can, but I'd probably be wrong.
- 10:55It's not coming in at the same rate.
- 10:57So it tells me that we're in this phase where liquidity is
- 11:00starting to reduce relative to the growth of the price and that
- 11:06Divergent is growing bigger and bigger and a certain point the
- 11:09top, the clock stops ticking unless there's a massive
- 11:13injection of liquidity some point, right.
- 11:15In the broader economy. No, it's not a big.
- 11:17Coin. Right, but I've never seen that
- 11:20you know, we measure it at peaks and then it starts tailing.
- 11:22You might get a little bit of this.
- 11:24I see choppiness and those choppiness adds for another
- 11:27bullish run, but the clock's ticking and so yeah, we're late
- 11:32phase in the bull market. I.
- 11:33Was just about to ask. We'll finish this topic.
- 11:35You'll definitely say this is late stage of the bull market.
- 11:38Yeah, in the final, it's the final leg of the bull market.
- 11:41Yeah. And to to.
- 11:42That's when things get interesting.
- 11:44Like but to. Be clear.
- 11:45That final leg. Could be huge.
- 11:47Could be 3 to 9 months. It could be 3 to 9 months.
- 11:52Yeah, I think that's a good sort of window.
- 11:55And also, if you look at some of the past cycles when the
- 11:58liquidity started sort of dropping away, that's when the
- 12:02fireworks happened. That's when Bitcoin ran up from
- 12:05rough, say, 2 1/2 to 5000 to $20,000, right?
- 12:09That's a blow off top. Are you ready for what happens
- 12:12when the Fed has to step in and print?
- 12:13The banks will collapse. They're sitting on long duration
- 12:16bonds, they've tapped out all of the liquidity that the Fed has
- 12:19in repo reserves and otherwise, and now they're sitting on a
- 12:22book of bad loans that are coming due to roost.
- 12:24This is the ultimate opportunity for people to think longer term
- 12:28about what's going to happen next.
- 12:30Not just first order effects, but second order effects.
- 12:32And I think Bitcoin being a diversifier in a hedge, just
- 12:35like BlackRock said, is going to be the winner moving forward.
