Why the World Will NEED Bitcoin in 2026 (It’s Not the Price) | Bitcoin Simply · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:00
  Bitcoin just started the year off with some New Year's
• 0:02
  resolutions as it recorded its fifth straight daily higher high
• 0:05
  to start 2026, breaking 94 K for the first time since November of
• 0:10
  last year. And we're not even a week into
• 0:12
  the new year and we already got Tom Lee putting out price
• 0:15
  predictions. As I said, you're getting right
• 0:17
  back on the horse. 2 fifty 250,000 Yeah.
• 0:20
  You can bleep me out too if I just say the number.
• 0:22
  Boy, boy that boy Tom A. Despite the 250K price
• 0:26
  prediction already, in his defense, he's not the only
• 0:30
  saying that Bitcoin is going to have a bullish year in 2026.
• 0:33
  Bill Miller has some thoughts too.
• 0:35
  And other analysts have made some charts noticing that
• 0:37
  behavior has flipped on January 1st.
• 0:39
  But beyond flows, charts, numbers, price predictions,
• 0:43
  here's a couple of stories that have caught my attention to
• 0:45
  start the year. And these stories lead me to
• 0:47
  believe as to why the world is going to understand why they
• 0:50
  need Bitcoin in 2026. Not just for the price.
• 0:53
  They're also pointing out the fact that the legacy
• 0:56
  establishment is on its last leg.
• 0:58
  We've got a lot to cover today. This is done with Bitcoin.
• 1:00
  Simply, let's go. This you know if you follow the
• 1:08
  four year cycle, Bitcoin should be down this year.
• 1:10
  But I think that there is tailwinds that are building and
• 1:13
  part of it is we kind of reset leverage on October 10th with
• 1:17
  that big shock. And now I think there is still
• 1:21
  institutional adoption taking place and Wall Street is still
• 1:24
  building a lot of products on the blockchain.
• 1:27
  And then we have U.S. government support.
• 1:30
  So I think these are tailwinds that help Bitcoin recover this
• 1:33
  year. Tom, you can just come out and
• 1:35
  say, look, I don't know how or where I get these price
• 1:37
  predictions, but I feel good when I say them.
• 1:39
  So I say them a lot. But in his defense, to be fair,
• 1:42
  he's not the only one saying that 2026 is going to be bullish
• 1:45
  for Bitcoin. Bill Miller, the fourth son of
• 1:47
  Bill Miller the third, the famous investor whose stock
• 1:49
  portfolio is Amazon and Bitcoin. Well, you have to understand
• 1:53
  that he believes that there's a lot of bullish trends coming
• 1:56
  into 2026 as well. We're a big inflection point
• 1:59
  right now for digital assets. Bitcoin, especially if you look
• 2:02
  at the regulatory clarity that's coming to the system over the
• 2:04
  past year, it's just it's a whole new ball game.
• 2:08
  Head of the SEC said a couple weeks ago that capital markets
• 2:11
  are all moving on chain. Jamie Dimon has reversed course.
• 2:15
  They're now building on blockchain.
• 2:17
  So all of this is massively positive for Bitcoin, which
• 2:19
  looks like it's put in a higher base than it did in the spring
• 2:22
  of 25. The technicals are really
• 2:24
  starting to line up and it looks like it's ready to go again.
• 2:26
  I personally expect it to break out to a higher high than its
• 2:28
  all time high from the fall. Some believe that the markets
• 2:32
  are bullish because Venezuela represents a huge opportunity
• 2:35
  for the United States to build its strategic reserves in both
• 2:38
  oil and Bitcoin. Venezuela apparently has a large
• 2:41
  shadow stash of Bitcoin that they were trading with oil
• 2:44
  through Tether in order to avoid sanctions.
• 2:46
  So there is a second order crypto effect here where since
• 2:50
  for going back a decade now my reporting was back in 2017,
• 2:53
  because of spiraling inflation of the Bolivar, a lot of people
• 2:56
  had turned to crypto currencies mining Ethereum and Bitcoin in
• 3:00
  their homes in order to just have a a stable source of of
• 3:04
  cash. But the the other side of this
• 3:06
  is the fact that the there are multiple reports that the
• 3:09
  government itself has been looking to evade sanctions by
• 3:12
  doing sales of oil in tether, which they then move into
• 3:15
  Bitcoin and so much of this market moves on sentiment.
• 3:18
  So even the promise that perhaps the US government when they came
• 3:21
  in might seize the these assets hold on to it.
• 3:23
  That's a bull case for Bitcoin if you have a stockpile such as
• 3:27
  that that isn't being liquidated.
• 3:29
  I'm not sure that I'm buying that or I agree with that.
• 3:32
  It's all a little bit of hearsay.
• 3:33
  And plus, even if we do build up a strategic reserve, it's no
• 3:37
  guarantee that there aren't people in states like New York
• 3:40
  that will just go ahead and sell the Bitcoin that they're not
• 3:43
  supposed to do to the executive order that Trump passed earlier
• 3:46
  last year. Court records suggest that US
• 3:49
  marshals seized and sold over 57 in Bitcoin and the samurai
• 3:53
  wallet developer case and just to be clear, I don't
• 3:56
  fundamentally agree that the United States should just steal
• 3:59
  reserves from people like Venezuela or samurai wallet
• 4:03
  developers. But the reality is given the
• 4:05
  mandate that they have, they're not supposed to sell it.
• 4:08
  But some people think that that's bullish.
• 4:10
  The CIO pro cap Bitcoin financial.
• 4:12
  Jeff Parks thinks it's because the long call options outweigh
• 4:16
  the put options happening in Bitcoin right now, causing some
• 4:19
  volatility to the upside. In another analyst pointed out
• 4:23
  the fact that the global money supply growth is at 9.9%, the
• 4:26
  highest since July of 2020. But the interesting stories that
• 4:29
  I'm paying attention to have nothing to do with price.
• 4:32
  I don't want you to think that this show is all about bullish
• 4:34
  price predictions because it's not.
• 4:36
  It's for your journey and for your betterment.
• 4:37
  To understand why I believe that the world is going to know and
• 4:40
  need Bitcoin in 2026, here's a couple stories.
• 4:43
  When property begins to be stolen from people in major
• 4:46
  cities like New York, well, people are going to understand
• 4:48
  the need for digital property rights and rights that can't be
• 4:51
  confiscated by government officials who are newly elected
• 4:54
  and not even a week into their office proclaiming that they're
• 4:57
  going to take your property for the collective good.
• 5:00
  I think the reality is, is that for centuries we've really
• 5:05
  treated property as an individualized good and not a
• 5:09
  collective good. And we are going to and
• 5:12
  transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a
• 5:16
  model of shared equity will require that we think about it
• 5:20
  differently. And it will mean that families,
• 5:24
  especially white families, but some POC families who are
• 5:27
  homeowners as well are going to have a different relationship to
• 5:32
  property than than than the one that we currently have.
• 5:35
  Having your property taken for the benefit of others and for
• 5:38
  the color of your skin is a slippery slope.
• 5:41
  We've been here in America before.
• 5:43
  This isn't political and I'm not picking sides here like I did in
• 5:46
  a few videos ago, even though you all said that I was picking
• 5:49
  sides. This isn't a political
• 5:50
  statement. When people realize that their
• 5:52
  hard earned tax dollars are going towards fraudulent
• 5:55
  enterprises, well, they're going to understand the need for newer
• 5:58
  transparent forms of government and newer transparent forms of
• 6:01
  money. It's simple.
• 6:02
  There's. A lot of fraud happening here in
• 6:03
  Minnesota. You've been living here for
• 6:06
  years now. How bad is this fraud?
• 6:09
  So I was born in Minneapolis a long time ago.
• 6:14
  I've lived my whole life here, and my opinion is that this is
• 6:20
  the worst fraud in human history.
• 6:23
  What is occurring in Minnesota and more specifically in the
• 6:26
  Twin Cities right now? How much money do you think has
• 6:29
  been set around fraudulently here inside Minnesota?
• 6:34
  Over the years, I would say anywhere from 80 to $100
• 6:39
  billion. And right now we're in the midst
• 6:42
  of an 80 to $100 billion fraud happening, which is one of the
• 6:45
  largest in the history of the world.
• 6:46
  When they realize that their money isn't even safe in banks,
• 6:49
  well, they're going to demand a newer system.
• 6:50
  In December of 2025, some people carried out a literal Ocean's 11
• 6:55
  Italian Job type bank heist at the Spark Casa bank in
• 6:59
  Geisenkirk in Germany. During the holidays,
• 7:01
  professional thieves drilled through a concrete wall.
• 7:04
  They opened 3000 safes which had cash, gold, EUR, precious jewels
• 7:10
  and other items in there and stole up to $52 million worth of
• 7:14
  people's money that they thought was safe.
• 7:16
  Because it's not in a digital form.
• 7:18
  The theft was discovered two days after it actually happened
• 7:21
  when a fire alarm went off. The crazy part about this is
• 7:23
  people's life savings were stolen that they thought was
• 7:26
  safe. People only have €10,000 worth
• 7:28
  of insurance on those boxes. This is stuff out of a movie.
• 7:31
  And when this happens, people are going to realize the need
• 7:33
  for protected digital assets, assets that can't be broken into
• 7:37
  into a vault and stolen at will by thieves during the holiday
• 7:42
  seasons. But before we go any further,
• 7:43
  let's thank our sponsors. Leaden has been the leader in
• 7:46
  Bitcoin back loan since 2018, issuing over $10 billion worth
• 7:50
  of loans to 10s of thousands of customers all across the globe.
• 7:53
  Leaden is founded by a founder from Venezuela who knows exactly
• 7:57
  what it means to have your money debased and to have your
• 8:00
  property taken from you. And that's why they've made it
• 8:02
  democratized and available to everyday individuals like you
• 8:06
  and me who don't want to sell their precious assets but borrow
• 8:09
  against them in a deflating currency.
• 8:10
  To get started and not sell your Bitcoin, you can fill out a 2
• 8:14
  minute application and get Fiat in your account in less than six
• 8:16
  hours with no credit check. If you want a $500 loan in Fiat,
• 8:19
  well, you post $1000 in Bitcoin collateral that's held in cold
• 8:23
  storage in a wallet address that you can see in the platform.
• 8:26
  You can repay this at any time with no fee or no penalty, or
• 8:30
  top up your Bitcoin stack as you continue to acquire more Bitcoin
• 8:33
  and continue your loan. Get .25% off your first loan by

• 8:47
  privately, safely, securely, so that you can be confident that

  compromised, and then and somehow your Bitcoin and

  People are going to realize that they need Bitcoin when they go
• 9:21
  to elect their elected officials and they have a technology that
• 9:25
  allows them to circumvent government controls and the
• 9:28
  government's ability to literally they control what they
• 9:31
  can and can't say on social media.
• 9:33
  The executive director of the Ugandan Commission of
• 9:35
  Communications says that they can control bit chat.
• 9:38
  You shouldn't use bit chat. It's not good for you.
• 9:40
  We're going to be able to control it and you're going to
• 9:42
  get in trouble if you use these sorts of technologies.
• 9:44
  To which Jack Dorsey says interesting.
• 9:46
  People will realize the need of independent money when they see
• 9:48
  the value of independent media. A YouTube single handedly took
• 9:52
  down one of the people that was going to be the vice president
• 9:55
  of the United States just less than a year ago.
• 9:59
  Sure, the price predictions are good.
• 10:00
  Sure, we're all here for money go up.
• 10:02
  But there will be some social unrest in 2026 that's going to
• 10:06
  point out the need for a decentralized open source
• 10:08
  protocol and network like Bitcoin.
• 10:10
  And that's when the world's going to realize that they need
• 10:12
  Bitcoin not just for the price, not just for a breaking past all
• 10:16
  time highs at 126 K. But I do believe that it will do
• 10:19
  that in 2026. This is the revolution.
• 10:22
  One of the ways that you can become sovereign is not by just
• 10:24
  buying Bitcoin and removing it from exchanges or never selling
• 10:27
  your Bitcoin through partners like Lennon.
• 10:29
  Well, you can also stack sats through mining Bitcoin, but you
• 10:32
  don't have to do it and manage it yourself.
