Latest / Simply Bitcoin / Is $1M or $50M Bitcoin Even Possible? The Math Says YES. | Bitcoin Simply
Transcript
- 0:00All right y'all, sometimes we get some crazy Bitcoin price
- 0:03predictions, but yesterday an analyst said that by 2041 the
- 0:07amount. Will be $50 million. $50
- 0:10million, and don't you think you kidnapped Chelsea Clinton?
- 0:13Yeah, he said. 50 million and didn't even flinch.
- 0:16Your Bitcoin thesis for 2041 is $50 million.
- 0:21Right. Is there any validity to this?
- 0:23How can he say a number like this with a straight face?
- 0:26I'll show you how and I'll also show you why the tokenization
- 0:29hype that we've been hearing about from the SEC and others is
- 0:32not the big investment that you need to be considering.
- 0:34Think 2 trillion versus 150 trillion.
- 0:37I'm going to break it down. This is Dante Cook from Bitcoin.
- 0:39Simply, Let's go. $38 trillion in debt is not something that
- 0:47they can ignore for much longer. So they do need to build a
- 0:52Bitcoin reserve, a sizeable 1 to mitigate that debt because
- 0:56people are kind of used to the number now, but 38 trillion is a
- 0:59crazy big number and you're pretty bankrupt and you know who
- 1:06wants to own more of your debt. I don't think it's possible to
- 1:10keep continuing it on that track, but also just compounding
- 1:14of the interests is going to be ridiculous too.
- 1:17So something has to be done. And I think they realize the
- 1:20solution is Bitcoin, yeah. And this is just in the US We've
- 1:23racked up $38 trillion like it's nothing.
- 1:26Since 1985, a pound of ground beef has gone from a dollar to
- 1:29six. Let me hit you up with a stat,
- 1:31some cultural relevance. Last night in downtown
- 1:34Indianapolis, IU won its first Big 10 championship since 1967.
- 1:38The mistress from Indiana, Signetti Mendoza, Becker.
- 1:42They left Ohio State. It's what the only O that we
- 1:45want to see. That's the from our faces being
- 1:48in shock from catching that L 13 to 10.
- 1:50They pulled up the greatest upset in Indiana history since
- 1:53Gene Hackman and Hoosiers starting a team with 4 1/2
- 1:56players. But let's go back to 1967 for a
- 1:59quick second. In 1967, the average household
- 2:02income was 7 grand a year. But you could buy a new house
- 2:04for $14,000, you could buy a new car for about $2000, a tank of
- 2:09gas was $0.33, and a loaf of bread was 22 cents.
- 2:12Oh, and gold was literally fixed at 35 bucks an ounce today.
- 2:15Those numbers sound like typos, and that's not because life got
- 2:1810 times better, it's because the money got 10 times worse.
- 2:21Think about this. Let's talk about college for a
- 2:23second since we're talking about college football.
- 2:25In 1967, the average cost for tuition and fees for a private
- 2:29College in the United States was about $1500.
- 2:32Room and board was $2000, meaning you could go to college
- 2:34for about 3500 bucks a year at an elite institution like
- 2:37Harvard. Today, the cost for tuition and
- 2:39fees is 39 for a private institution and 10 for a public
- 2:42institution. When you tack on room and board,
- 2:44well, you're looking at 25,000 to about 50 to $60,000 a year.
- 2:49So when you hear Bitcoin is a scam, a fraud, a bubble, cool.
- 2:53The real scam is happening behind closed doors, the slow
- 2:56rug pull on the dollar and the question that everyone is asking
- 2:59is how many more 1960 sevens do you think your dollar can
- 3:02survive The reason your dollar won't survive is because of this
- 3:05global shadow debt system. This is what undergirds our
- 3:08current financial system. So even beyond the $38 trillion
- 3:11in debt that the United States has, well, there's there's
- 3:14another 100 to $150 trillion sitting out there in euro
- 3:18dollars in this other shadow system that's propping up our
- 3:20economy. And This is why Bitcoin will get
- 3:23to 50 million by 2041, as this analyst predicts.
- 3:26The penny dropped for me when I realized that, you know, what
- 3:31under undergirds A lot of the value in our system is a sort of
- 3:35like there's something I call the, the, the global collateral
- 3:40layer, which is like, what do we, what do we rely on to borrow
- 3:44against when we're a rich kind of sovereign nation or when
- 3:47we're, we're a central bank for a long time, like it was gold
- 3:52like back in the day. And then in the 60s there, there
- 3:55emerged something called the euro dollar.
- 3:58And that, that sort of like underscored a lot of the, the,
- 4:02the, the economic system. And then on top of that, there's
- 4:07obviously like U.S. Treasuries and like the US
- 4:10dollar that we use for our day-to-day.
- 4:12But, and, but, but something has to kind of underlie that.
- 4:15And I think Bitcoin, we are on a track to in 15 years from now.
- 4:21And I have this thing I call Vision 2041 by by 2041, I
- 4:27believe. Like it seems obvious to me that
- 4:29like Bitcoin is going to replace like the euro dollar of that
- 4:34that we saw in the 60s to, you know, 2000s.
- 4:36And then after that, there was this, you know, shadow banking
- 4:39system you used to hear about talked about today.
- 4:42There's like, there's like sovereign debt.
- 4:44So all the countries around the world issue debt and then they
- 4:48kind of borrow against that and they, they do their daily like
- 4:51government transactions. But like there are problems with
- 4:54that. And in, in some ways, like
- 4:56Bitcoin is much superior to kind of any of those in the sense
- 5:00that it's, it's, it's digital. It's, you know, it has like this
- 5:04kind of apolitical nature. So it sits outside of central
- 5:08banks. It sits outside, you know, the
- 5:10influence of whoever the latest Treasury Secretary here is in
- 5:14the US and it's not, you know, so euro dollar wasn't a threat
- 5:17to the US dollar, Euro dollar wasn't a threat to U.S.
- 5:21Treasuries. People still still use that.
- 5:23But there's like there's some like underlying thing that a lot
- 5:27of other countries and the financial systems borrows
- 5:29against to kind of do things. And so today, like the UAE,
- 5:33they, they issue debt or, or some, you know, random country
- 5:37issues debt, but they could rely on, on Bitcoin.
- 5:40And I think they're, they're going to see like over time,
- 5:43like that's much more logical. So that sovereign debt world is
- 5:48like is an enormous financial world.
- 5:50Every family, I don't care what economic situation that you're
- 5:53in right now, understands that you have to invest and you have
- 5:56to invest in something quickly in order to have your dreams
- 5:59realize whether it's a dream to retire, whether it's the
- 6:01American dream or whether it's just to make ends meet.
- 6:04And so a lot of people are looking at investments right
- 6:06now, and one of the big major themes is should I invest into a
- 6:09hard asset like real estate, like gold, like Bitcoin, or
- 6:13should I invest into crypto? The financialization of the
- 6:15markets, the tokenization of the modern financial system,
- 6:18messages like these from SEC Chair Paul Atkins makes people
- 6:22believe that this crypto financialization of the markets
- 6:25trend is one that's investable. And I'm here to let you in on a
- 6:28secret. It's not.
- 6:29Tokenization is the idea of using them smart contracts or,
- 6:34or you know, tokens on chain to be able to that represent say a
- 6:40underlying security. And so then that tokenized
- 6:43security is a security and would be subject to SEC rules by law.
- 6:48But the idea is that it's, if it's on chain on a blockchain,
- 6:53then there's much more transparency as to where it is
- 6:56right now. There's a bit of capacity as to
- 6:59you know who owns what and where the the company usually doesn't
- 7:02even know where it's shareholder, who its
- 7:04shareholders are and where the where you know where the
- 7:07shareholders reside, where the shares reside.
- 7:10So, so tokenization has the benefit of potentially having
- 7:17instead of T + 1 now trade date plus one for clearance and
- 7:22settlement, the prospect of maybe T0 now depending on the
- 7:26instrument. And you know, there's we, we
- 7:29have to, you know, think about netting and all sorts of other
- 7:33things with respect to some instruments.
- 7:35But in principle, the idea of on chain delivery versus payment
- 7:40and receipt versus payment DVPRVP on chain is a prospect of
- 7:47de risking the markets making them much more transparent.
- 7:51And then sure as far as clearance and settlement,
- 7:54because it's always that's the, the, the gap between clearance
- 8:00and settlement and then delivery and payment is the the real
- 8:06introduces risk into the system. Do you expect this is where
- 8:09financial services are is going? Are the major banks and the
- 8:13brokers out there today moving increasingly toward
- 8:17tokenization? Absolutely.
- 8:19And it's the the way the world will be, you know, here in that
- 8:25I mean, maybe not even in 10 years, maybe even a lot less
- 8:29time, maybe a couple of years from now, so.
- 8:32This is for the lower level investors.
- 8:34Lower level investors are going to be able to think that they're
- 8:36going to be able to buy a crypto token and make their dream or
- 8:39their goals realized to get out of this financial system that
- 8:42we're in that I described earlier.
- 8:43Higher level investors know that there's nothing else, there's
- 8:46just poo poo coins. And then there's people like
- 8:49Kevin O'Leary who are saying there's Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- 8:52But here again, I disagree. That's all you have to own to
- 8:55capture 90% of all of the crypto markets.
- 8:58Alpha or pricing volatility is simply Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- 9:03You don't need anything else. And so this is really, really
- 9:08hard medicine for all of the people that sponsored all of
- 9:12these other chains and other platforms, because now they face
- 9:16the reality, which I think is a cleansing, a good thing, a
- 9:18spatula cleaning from all that poo poo coin out there.
- 9:22That's just pure speculation. But it also says the maturity of
- 9:26the market is looking at the numbers because the big money's
- 9:29about to come in. So if you were just in Bitcoin
- 9:33in Ethereum over the last eight weeks, you've done so much
- 9:36better than own the poo poo coins.
- 9:39And the poo poo coins aren't going to come back unless they
- 9:41can give you a use case and you get they have to have 10s of
- 9:45millions of dollars in marketing you, Jack, you just called for
- 9:48the price of Bitcoin. That is universal around the
- 9:51world. The only other call is on
- 9:53Ethereum and no one else gets that ticker.
- 9:55You just called, right? They have to market.
- 9:58They have to buy it. Made that case from the
- 10:00beginning of this that Bitcoin really was the be all and end
- 10:04all and that all these poo. Poo, now you have the.
- 10:06Infrastructure you. Have the infrastructure saying
- 10:09I'm an institution, what do I need to own?
- 10:11No poo poo coins, just Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- 10:16All right, no poo poo coins. You've graduated from a trader
- 10:19in trading and hope IAM to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- 10:21But let me give you some game as to why you don't want to invest
- 10:24into a true trillion dollar asset class.
- 10:26You want to invest into something that might be worth
- 10:28150 trillion. Let me put you on game when we
- 10:31talk about the tokenization of the financial system.
- 10:34Let's talk about four key parties, exchanges and trading
- 10:36platforms, 1-2 brokerages, three data and index vendors, and four
- 10:43asset managers. Now I'm going to give you the
- 10:44market caps of some of the large players in these industries and
- 10:47tell you the total market cap of this entire market.
- 10:50ICE, which owns the New York Stock Exchange, worth about $70
- 10:52billion. The CME Group, depending on what
- 10:55commodities are doing, is worth 70 to $85 billion, NASDAQ, about
- 10:59$50 billion, the CBOE, $40 billion.
- 11:03Let's go to the brokers. Charles Schwab 135 to $140
- 11:06billion. Interactive Brokers $50 billion,
- 11:09Robin Hood $33 billion. So the ballpark for this asset
- 11:12class is about $200 billion. What about the data vendors like
- 11:15Bloomberg, $70 billion. What about the S&P Global $50
- 11:19billion? When you add up this group,
- 11:21including MSCI, you get this layer that's worth about $250
- 11:24billion. Asset managers like BlackRock,
- 11:26the biggest, are taking about $14 billion in in fees.
- 11:29So maybe they get a little bit more efficient with the
- 11:31tokenization of this asset class.
- 11:33So the rough total, when you add up 300 to 400 billion, $200
- 11:36billion in 250 billion dollars, well, and then the private
- 11:39brokers, all the black rocks and ETFs and big players out there,
- 11:42you get another 100 to $200 billion in total.
- 11:45If I'm generous, this is a 1 1/2 trillion to $2 trillion asset
- 11:48class. So if Ethereum takes this entire
- 11:51market, you get a $2 trillion investable asset class.
- 11:54Maybe let's put a 10X multiple on it.
- 11:56It's a $20 trillion asset class. But Bitcoin is going after a $38
- 12:00trillion asset class in the United States debt problem alone
- 12:04and 150 when you expand globally 2 trillion or 100. 150 Before we
- 12:09go any further as to why some experts believe that this is
- 12:12possible, let's thank our sponsors.
- 12:13Lenin has been the leader in Bitcoin back loans since 2018,
- 12:16issuing over $9 billion worth of loans without any losses, any
- 12:20collateral damage and not a single cent or set of customer
- 12:23money lost. Why?
- 12:24It's because your money is held in cold storage.
- 12:26When you post Bitcoin as collateral, it's not lent out
- 12:29rehypothecated or doing something that you don't want it
- 12:32to. You can actually view the
- 12:33address of the Bitcoin collateral that you post in
- 12:36their platform in the platform. You want a $1000 Fiat loan.
- 12:39Will you post $2000 of Bitcoin collateral with no credit check?
- 12:43Fiat will be in your account in less than six hours.
- 12:45Never sell your Bitcoin and work with a vendor like Leadin By
- 12:48going to the link learn dot leadin dot AO slash simply to
- 12:52get started, you actually get .25% off of your first loan.
- 12:55And one of the ways you can continue to be sovereign in your
- 12:57journey is by working with a company like The Bitcoin Way
- 13:01where they will provide you with a coach to walk you through step
- 13:03by step exactly how to become a sovereign individual and to take
- 13:07the next step in your Bitcoin journey from just buying on
- 13:09exchanges to actually owning this revolutionary asset.
- 13:12Go to thebitcoinway.com/simply Bitcoin to get scheduled with a
- 13:15coach today. Bitcoin is the true innovation.
- 13:18Think about how mind blowing this is.
- 13:20The CEO of one of the largest companies in the world, in the
- 13:23backbone of our entire infrastructure understands that
- 13:26Bitcoin is a wildly innovative discovery.
- 13:29We can take excess energy and convert it to currency and then
- 13:32transport it around the world globally, from place to place.
- 13:36Essentially what Bitcoin is doing is taking excess energy,
- 13:40storing it into a new form. It's called currency, and you
- 13:44take that currency and you take it wherever you like.
- 13:47And so you took energy from one place, and now you've
- 13:50transported it everywhere. Bitcoin is global capital.
- 13:54When you think about these different banks needing another
- 13:56form of collateral, needing another undergirding to the
- 13:59current financial system that isn't a dollar based system
- 14:02anymore. While you need a hard asset, a
- 14:04hard asset that's a political. And This is why Bitcoin is the
- 14:07prime candidate. It's going after multiple
- 14:10trillions of dollars, hundreds of trillions of dollars of
- 14:12capital that need another place to park in to refinancialize the
- 14:16system. And that's why it's so important
- 14:18that people understand Bitcoin because it's not just an asset
- 14:21that the richest and wealthiest can get.
- 14:23It's accessible to all of us into 8 billion people around the
- 14:26world. It provides hope in a
- 14:27conversation with Preston Pitch where she's talking about how
- 14:29Bitcoin is truly hope for people that are struggling, for trying
- 14:33to get out of the situation, for trying to get back to a place
- 14:36where we might feel like 1967 or the last time that the IU
- 14:40Hoosiers won a Big 10 Championship.
- 14:42I do say Bitcoin is hope a lot, right?
- 14:44It's this antidote, it's this ultimate solution.
- 14:46But it's so funny, human nature, like you can tell someone, hey,
- 14:49don't worry, everything's going to be great.
- 14:50And they'll sort of just like shrug and not pay attention,
- 14:53tell them that the world is on fire and something bad is about
- 14:56to happen and you have their full undivided attention.
- 14:59And believe me, I know that really well from working in
- 15:01news. Because if it bleeds, it leads.
- 15:03And it's like, you can really sell panic.
- 15:06And I'm actually trying to do the opposite because I think the
- 15:08thing that people most need is a feeling of I can do this, the
- 15:12future can be better than the present.
- 15:14I can make it, I can achieve, I can empower myself.
- 15:18And that's really ultimately kind of the underlying message
- 15:22of the book is like, it's not too late and you can take
- 15:25control over your time again. And that's what I think is what
- 15:29money allows us to do, is control our time again when we
- 15:33feel this constant pressure on our backs.
- 15:36You've actually talked about this, I think, on my show before
- 15:38or another show. I think it's led to so much of
- 15:41the decay morally that we see in society when every single member
- 15:45of the household has pressure on them to provide.
- 15:48And it never feels like enough. Now you need 3 incomes for what
- 15:52you used to be able to afford on one income.
- 15:55And you see us getting more and more divided and negative
- 15:57online. And we all use social media, I
- 15:59think as, as this tool. Like if you're in a great place,
- 16:02you use it as a tool to get more information and, you know,
- 16:06improve yourself, create businesses.
- 16:08But if you're in a bad place, you use it to vent your
- 16:10frustration and probably find scapegoats and find other
- 16:13people. You know, misery loves company.
- 16:15And we're in this very, very divided.
- 16:18And I think just like a place of mental angst where people just
- 16:22feel so resentful and frustrated of how far they've fallen
- 16:26behind. And it's not your fault.
- 16:28Like part of the book is saying like, you are working hard.
- 16:31I'm acknowledging the fact that, like, you have put in this work
- 16:34and you deserve to feel like you have control over your time and
- 16:39your future. And that's what Bitcoin offers
- 16:41you. And Bitcoin is, in my opinion,
- 16:43the best solution. But it's really just
- 16:45representative of a good form of money that allows you to save
- 16:48for the future because it cannot be debased, because it is
- 16:51scarce, because it is divisible, because it is portable, because
- 16:54it, you know, answers to all of these defects that came before
- 16:57and other forms of money. That's like the whole message is
- 17:00for the first time in human history, we have a form of money
- 17:03where the average person can start to accumulate a political
- 17:07globally traded capital to start to have a seat at the table and
- 17:11plan for their lives. Their families dropped their
- 17:13time preference. And and that's what makes me so
- 17:16excited, and also why I think that it's so important to share
- 17:19this message with the average person who feels left behind.
- 17:22So let me ask you this question. When you're thinking about where
- 17:25and how to invest, how do we get out of this rat race?
- 17:27Do you want to invest into crypto, the tokenization of the
- 17:30financial world that's worth about $2 trillion, or if we're
- 17:33generous, 20 trillion? Or do you want to invest in an
- 17:35asset class that's worth 150 trillion, $200 trillion?
- 17:39I don't know but one of the ways is that people on this platform
- 17:42can continue to invest in the Bitcoin is by diversifying how
- 17:45you buy Bitcoin. Buying Bitcoin in on an exchange
- 17:48and removing it into self custody or mining Bitcoin and
- 17:52getting the benefits of depreciation and tax write offs.
- 17:55When you buy a state-of-the-art mining rig through SAS mining,
- 17:58purchase a state-of-the-art mining rig and with no
- 18:00contracts, no markups, no middle men, no people in between.
- 18:03They will stream SAT directly to your wallet and if you care
- 18:06about the environment while they do this with 100% carbon free
- 18:10renewable energy sources, they're 100% aligned with
- 18:13Bitcoin values. And if you're looking at a way
- 18:15to decrease your taxable income with a write off by buying a
- 18:19state-of-the-art mining machine or also earning sats like
- 18:22Satoshi straight to your wallet while you sleep well, then go to
- 18:25this QR code here on the screen and talk to someone from SAS
- 18:28mining today. This is Dante Coke with Bitcoin.
- 18:30Simply happy stacking.
