- 0:00Inflation's back, hotter than expected, and our favorite
- 0:04stable coin barely flinched. Let's go.
- 0:08The Feds boxed in again. Rate cuts are on deck and the
- 0:11money printers are warming up their engines, triggering the
- 0:15same migration pattern we've seen every cycle before.
- 0:19Some call this the new era of sound money.
- 0:22Others say it's Deja vu from the 70s, when inflation refused to
- 0:26die and hard assets went vertical.
- 0:30As governments and institutions pile into hard money, maybe the
- 0:34days of three green years, one red are over.
- 0:37Or maybe the real story here is that we've misunderstood cycles
- 0:42all along, and this time the Fed is adapting, institutions are
- 0:47chasing, and Baron Trump's whispering in dad's ear to stack
- 0:51the only asset that might just break the game.
- 1:00Is that tax money that the? Fed is spending.
- 1:02It's not tax money. The banks have accounts with the
- 1:06Fed much the same way that you have an account in a commercial
- 1:09bank. So to lend to a bank, we simply
- 1:13use the computer to mark up the size of the account that they
- 1:16have with the Fed. So it's much more akin, although
- 1:19not exactly the same, but it's much more akin to printing money
- 1:21than it is to borrowing. You've been printing money.
- 1:24Well, effectively, and we need to do that because our economy
- 1:27is very weak and inflation is very low.
- 1:30Breaking the dollar is actually backed by numbers on a screen,
- 1:35and we're all getting robbed. When Fiat weakens, scarcity
- 1:39becomes our financial sanctuary. But this time the rotation isn't
- 1:44following the familiar four year halving rhythm we've come to
- 1:47expect in Bitcoin markets. It's tracking liquidity itself.
- 1:51That is the amount of money being printed in circulation.
- 1:55It goes like this. The money supply, or as the
- 1:58suits like to say M2, expands, inflation rises, then capital
- 2:04runs away from bonds and treasuries and into hard assets.
- 2:08Watch what Bitcoin icon Michael Saylor has to say in this clip
- 2:12where you said you were sitting on what, a $500 million melting
- 2:16ice cube. Why do you see it like that?
- 2:18Well, you know, for the last decade I didn't pay much
- 2:20attention to macroeconomics, and I just thought of it as we had a
- 2:25conservative Treasury policy and we had $500 million or more, and
- 2:29we're going to generate 2 or 3% interest on it, and we'll use it
- 2:33when we need it. But of course, over the past
- 2:37year or so, that interest rate for it went from 2 to 0.
- 2:40And then everybody woke up to the world of macroeconomics this
- 2:44year because we had the largest intervention of the Federal
- 2:47Reserve maybe in the history of the country.
- 2:50And that drew me into a deep dive.
- 2:53And I started studying the expansion of the monetary
- 2:56supply. And I realized that for the past
- 2:58decade, the monetary supply has been expanding by 7% and the
- 3:02actual inflation rate on assets is not 2%.
- 3:06The inflation rate on assets is 7 to 8% if you are holding
- 3:10equity, and the inflation rate on a bond is 22% if you are
- 3:14holding the long bond. And now I realize that the
- 3:18estimate for the next few years has got to be 10% or more.
- 3:22And so when you start thinking about your cost of capital being
- 3:2510% and you're holding 500 million in cash, that's yielding
- 3:29zero. I realize my, my real yield is
- 3:32-10% at least for the next three years.
- 3:35And so I imagined $150 million getting burned or melted away,
- 3:41and it made me very anxiety. Ridden.
- 3:43When inflation hits, capital has to go somewhere.
- 3:46If not, time consumes its value. First it hides in gold, the safe
- 3:51analog trade. Then once gold peaks and starts
- 3:55to cool off, Bitcoin seemingly wakes up.
- 3:58Gold is the warm up act that starts to shake up the markets,
- 4:02but Bitcoin is the main event. Hot all consuming lava.
- 4:07Liquid hot magma. You know, he kind of sounds like
- 4:11Trump there, but I digress. Let me explain why Bitcoin
- 4:14eventually wins. For years, everyone's tracked
- 4:18the Bitcoin having like it was the gospel.
- 4:26If you're not familiar, it's an event in Bitcoin's code that
- 4:30cuts the reward miners receive in half roughly every four
- 4:34years, intentionally slowing the creation of new Bitcoin and
- 4:38reinforcing its scarcity. The most recent halving happened
- 4:41in April of 2024, and typically there is a Bitcoin bull run for
- 4:4618 months after. This was supposed to be our
- 4:49year, but the truth is, halvings don't seem to be the only factor
- 4:54moving markets anymore. Lately, it's actually the
- 4:57central banks who have been furthering the cause of their
- 5:00own demise. But if we zoom out of the online
- 5:14echo chamber, every major Bitcoin bull run has lined up
- 5:18with one thing money printing. This happened in 2013,
- 5:2320/17/2021. Every time the money supply
- 5:26grew, Bitcoin followed. So if you're still watching
- 5:30block rewards instead of the balance sheet, you're missing
- 5:33the real signal. And here's where it gets
- 5:36interesting. If you pull up the historical
- 5:39charts, you'll notice a striking pattern.
- 5:42First, gold tends to make its big move.
- 5:44OK, we passed that. Then Bitcoin and gold prices
- 5:48fall a bit. That's where we are right now.
- 5:51But right after Bitcoin looks like it explodes.
- 5:55In his thread, former gold bug turned Bitcoin maxi Alex Stanzik
- 6:00connects the dots. He says Bitcoin had hit a 17.83%
- 6:05correction exactly on the day, October 9th, when gold hit an
- 6:09all time high. Then he continues saying that he
- 6:12is still of the view that would have been a great day to rotate,
- 6:16even with the difference in gains in gold.
- 6:19And yet he says I still believe Bitcoin will massively
- 6:23outperform gold over time. Why?
- 6:26Because gold is not absolutely finite.
- 6:29It increases in supply by roughly 1.5% a year.
- 6:34Bitcoin is absolutely finite and like clockwork, everything I've
- 6:40just said has come to fruition in the last few days.
- 6:43Gold price has just plummeted after its strongest run in
- 6:48years, and historically, like I said, that's been the tell.
- 6:52That drop could be the spark that signals the next phase of
- 6:56this migration from analog scarcity to digital
- 7:00inevitability. There's two things that can
- 7:02happen. First principles.
- 7:04Bitcoin follows liquidity very closely.
- 7:07So does gold. So does the stock market.
- 7:10These are all assets that expand and contract with the money
- 7:14supply. So do you believe that the money
- 7:17supply is going to expand or contract in the near future?
- 7:22Well, looking at the markets and looking at the jitters and
- 7:25looking at the the Fed funds, the Fed funds rate and Fed funds
- 7:30futures, listening to the Fed, seeing the the employment data,
- 7:36seeing, you know, the different data that says that we're we're
- 7:40going to need to tap the brakes here on on or actually hit the
- 7:46gas pedal here a little bit, pull our foot off the brake and
- 7:51expand liquidity. Hearing all that, it sounds like
- 7:54we're going to expand liquidity going into the near future.
- 7:58The only question is, do we hit a down hard downturn first?
- 8:01Well, I don't I don't think we're going to I think we're
- 8:03going to we're going to we're going to ease up on the brakes
- 8:07here and we're going to continue to expand liquidity.
- 8:09So that means that either there are two things that can happen.
- 8:13Either liquidity could contract to meet where Bitcoin is or and
- 8:18gold or actually gold's run quite a bit, but liquidity can
- 8:23even contract to meet Bitcoin or Bitcoin can catch up to that
- 8:28continually expanding liquidity. I I happen to believe that
- 8:32liquidity will expand ad infinitum forever.
- 8:36It will have draw downs, but it will the the line is up and to
- 8:40the right. It's going to continue to be up
- 8:41and to the right. The other thing is that Bitcoin
- 8:45typically lags gold and gold's move.
- 8:49We've seen it in a number of other events.
- 8:51And so Bitcoins been lagging gold recently and it will it
- 8:55will catch back up in my opinion.
- 8:57So my strong opinion is that even if we do have a draw down,
- 9:02it's just temporary. Even if we do draw down to
- 9:04100,000 and 90 something thousand, it's just temporary in
- 9:07my opinion and it's a buying opportunity in my opinion.
- 9:11Remember earlier when I brought up M2M2 tracks the amount of
- 9:15dollars in circulation? Look at the correlation here
- 9:19between that and Bitcoin. Every time it spikes, Bitcoin
- 9:23does too because this isn't a supply cycle anymore, it's a
- 9:28liquidity cycle. In this post, Jesse Myers says
- 9:32the money printer hasn't run this hot since COVID.
- 9:36And the legend Larry Leppard posted it with a quote tweet
- 9:40saying 12% annualized growth rates in global M2, far cry from
- 9:46the Fed's 2% target. And they haven't really even
- 9:50turned on the printer yet. Bitcoin launch coming.
- 9:53Wait for it. From your lips to God's ears,
- 9:56Larry. When they print, everything
- 9:58floats. But Bitcoin has historically
- 10:01risen the highest. When they tighten, everything
- 10:04sinks. Bitcoin, however, has
- 10:06historically settled at a higher flow, more than previous bear
- 10:10markets. This time, we seem to be
- 10:12observing that behavior again. Gold's running Bitcoin is
- 10:16lagging for now, but in time it looks like the rotation is
- 10:20imminent. Keep this tweet by John Consorti
- 10:22in the back of your mind. A 2% capital rotation from gold
- 10:26to Bitcoin would send it to 165,000 instantly.
- 10:31Whoa. Cycles doesn't seem to have
- 10:33played out. We're behind schedule.
- 10:34You know, we should have had a bull run already like a a
- 10:37massive run up and you know, we're down actually at the time
- 10:41of this recording. So I think this cycle, if you
- 10:45want to call it a cycle is delayed.
- 10:47It might push into next year for all whatever various reasons
- 10:50there are. But I think the nation state
- 10:53adoption is coming. We're pushing on a lot of funds.
- 10:57Other companies and people are pushing too.
- 11:00There are concrete examples of what Bitcoin can do to benefit a
- 11:04country out there right now. The moves in the USI think have
- 11:08yet to propagate throughout the world.
- 11:10So Trump did create the SBR, but they haven't started buying yet.
- 11:14And we are talking with other countries to do the same.
- 11:17There are a few that have said they will create it, and I think
- 11:21it's all coming it. It's really that these things
- 11:25happen very quickly. It's like literally gradually
- 11:29and then suddenly, and I think we're on the tail end of
- 11:32gradually and we're at the beginning phases of suddenly.
- 11:37And if you look at just the US alone, you know, they're pushing
- 11:39forward on a lot of their neutral budget, neutral Bitcoin
- 11:43acquisition and the Bitcoin Act too.
- 11:46So I believe it's simply a matter of time before we see a
- 11:49massive run up and we see a massive nation state FOMO, you
- 11:54know, panic. The way I've seen it and the way
- 11:56you've heard it in multiple Bitcoin podcasts, live shows,
- 12:00and interviews, the end of cycles as we know, is upon us.
- 12:05Big government, big institutions, and big banks have
- 12:08arrived to the Bitcoin landscape at large.
- 12:11I don't think we're going to see the same playbook repeat after
- 12:15this turning point. Those in power are now naturally
- 12:17incentivized to keep accumulating for two reasons.
- 12:21One, to reduce the volatility and and two to stack more
- 12:25Bitcoin than their enemies. Remember these people are
- 12:29vicious. The way I see it, this will be
- 12:32the modern Bitcoin cycle moving forward.
- 12:35Phase one, the Fed cuts rates and two, expands inflation
- 12:41rises. Phase two.
- 12:43Capital flees to hard assets. Gold takes the lead.
- 12:48Phase three, Bitcoin wakes up and steals the show.
- 12:52Phase four, they tighten liquidity, dyes, markets cool
- 12:57off until they print again. I know I'm just trying to be
- 13:01cute, but it's not random. It's the feedback loop that
- 13:04we've experienced since 1971, except now we have a modern day
- 13:10solution. Modern problems require modern
- 13:13solutions. And that solution is quickly
- 13:16catching on. We've hit that part of the cycle
- 13:19where liquidity meets conviction.
- 13:21And if you've been stacking for a while, this next phase is
- 13:26where miners, hodlers, and everyday stackers all line up on
- 13:30the same side of the trade. This is where infrastructure
- 13:34matters and incentives align. Which is why you should check
- 13:37out SaaS mining. Would you mind Bitcoin if it
- 13:40were as easy as buying it? Then you should check out SaaS
- 13:43mining. It's not hosted mining, it's a
- 13:46mining service that actually puts bitcoiners first.
- 13:50You can own a state-of-the-art mining rig, plug into affordable
- 13:54carbon free energy and stack Bitcoin just like Satoshi.
- 13:59No middle men, no markups, no worries.
- 14:02SAS doesn't tack on extra fees when you sign up, and unlike
- 14:06other companies there are no rig up charges or inflated power
- 14:10rates. Their entire business model is
- 14:12based on a clean and simple revenue share.
- 14:15They only earn Bitcoin if you are too.
- 14:18A total alignment of incentives and 100% Bitcoiner values.
- 14:23While some claim simplicity, SAS Mining proves it.
- 14:26Let's just say that if you need a compass to find your miners,
- 14:30you're not in the right place. This is how Bitcoin mining
- 14:33should have always been done. Visit sasmining.com or scan the
- 14:38QR code to learn more and start hashing.
- 14:41And if you're not mining yet, but you're already stacking,
- 14:45there's another way to make your Bitcoin work for you safely.
- 14:49If you're stacking sats, you need Bitcoin back services you
- 14:52can trust. That's why we roll with Leaden,
- 14:55the global leader in Bitcoin back lending.
- 14:57Leaden has issued over $9 billion in loans since 2018 and
- 15:02a perfect record of protecting client assets.
- 15:05Why is a let in loan different? Collateral is not lent out to
- 15:09generate interest. No credit checks.
- 15:11Funds in 24 hours, no monthly payments.
- 15:14Repay whenever you want. 0 penalties and their proof of
- 15:19reserves verified every six months keeps them transparent.
- 15:23Leaden lets you unlock liquidity without selling.

- 15:34dot IO slash. Simply now let's get back to the
- 15:37show bonus segment. Here's where everything changes.
- 15:42So you can use Venmo, but if someone is not using Venmo or is
- 15:46an international tourist walking right outside, right?
- 15:50Right now. If I.
- 15:50Have an iPhone and I want to message somebody.
- 15:52I mean, if I don't have WhatsApp and somebody.
- 15:54Wants to WhatsApp me, they have to get the WhatsApp app.
- 15:56But you have texts which is universal, where you can
- 15:59actually communicate and reach out to anyone you want in the
- 16:02world with one simple addressing scheme, which is a phone number
- 16:04which is human readable. And you can't do that with
- 16:07money. There's no universal protocol
- 16:09for money on the Internet that actually enables value to be
- 16:13transported to through the Internet.
- 16:15So if you were to want to send money to one of these people,
- 16:18you would probably need to ask them for a bank account number.
- 16:21The bank account number would be in different format depending on
- 16:24where you are in the world. You would have to actually
- 16:25physically walk to a branch and pay $50.00 to do an
- 16:29international wire. And if it's after Friday, 5:00
- 16:32PM, tough luck. And how big?
- 16:34A business. Is that it's ginormous, right?
- 16:37There's trillions of dollars of transactions that transit
- 16:39through SWIFT and other payment networks.
- 16:42Even the Fed is finally admitting that distributed
- 16:45ledgers and crypto assets are no longer and the fringes.
- 16:48Check out what Fed Governor Waller said in the opening
- 16:52remarks of their very first Payment Innovation Conference.
- 16:57Roll the clip. Our panelists are engaging in
- 17:00integrating traditional financial payment rails with
- 17:03distributed ledgers, developing a new developing new products
- 17:07and services in the digital asset ecosystem, and leveraging
- 17:11AI in the payment system. It's worth noting that the firms
- 17:15engaged in these activities include banks, asset managers,
- 17:19retail payment firms, technology companies, as well as crypto
- 17:23native fintechs. This is an acknowledgement the
- 17:26distributed ledgers and crypto assets are no longer on the
- 17:29fringes but are increasingly woven into the fabric of the
- 17:33payment and financial system. Sounds kind of bullish, right?
- 17:37Like they don't mention Bitcoin, but it seems like we're on the
- 17:40right track, right? But then came the real line.
- 17:44We are also looking ahead to use our own payment systems.
- 17:51Roll the clip. We are also looking ahead
- 17:54conducting hands on research on tokenization using smart
- 17:58contracts and the intersection of AI and payments for use in
- 18:03our own payment systems. Brother, that's not Bitcoin
- 18:10adoption, that's a poor attempt to migrate to stable coins and
- 18:15perhaps ACBDC. Lord help us.
- 18:18They're not joining the revolution, but they sure want
- 18:21to be on this side before it's too late.
- 18:23If we're in a sovereign debt crisis, and I think we are, and
- 18:26if we're going to have a lot of inflation, I think we do.
- 18:28And if we're going to go to have a monetary reset, they're going
- 18:32to be real winners and losers. And, and you're not going to get
- 18:35a do over, you know, you're, you're not going to get a do
- 18:37over. It's not going to be like, oh
- 18:38gosh, I missed it. Maybe I'll, you know, I mean,
- 18:40it's like we could wake up one day and the government can say,
- 18:42you know, we're going to a gold standard.
- 18:43We're taking the price of gold up to $20,000.
- 18:46We either own gold and gold mining stocks or you don't.
- 18:48They're going to go enormously. Same thing with Bitcoin.
- 18:51I mean, you know, the US could say we're going to do a
- 18:53strategic Bitcoin reserve and the Bitcoin price could triple.
- 18:56Well, if you don't have any, you don't benefit from that.
- 18:58So there will be, you know, because of the risk of monetary
- 19:02debasement and the fact that there will be no do over, I
- 19:05would just strongly encourage all of your listeners to have
- 19:09some allocation of their wealth into things that the government
- 19:14can't print. The government can't print gold,
- 19:17government can't print silver, government can't print Bitcoin,
- 19:19and the government can print dollars.
- 19:21And they're going to print a shit load of dollars in my
- 19:24opinion. And what does that mean for the
- 19:26future of liquidity this cycle? If the US moves to adopt A
- 19:30stable coin or launches a central bank digital currency,
- 19:34will markets skip gold and move directly to Bitcoin when the Fed
- 19:38inevitably decides to increase their supply again?
- 19:42Because if we know one thing is certain, whether the dollar is a
- 19:46piece of paper or a digital currency, the money printer will
- 19:50always go. And before we wrap, Mining
- 19:57Disrupt is almost here and you don't want to miss it.
- 20:00The biggest Bitcoin mining event of the year is taking over
- 20:04Dallas, TX November 11th through the 13th.
- 20:07This may be the most important Bitcoin mining event in history.
- 20:12The biggest names in the industry, cutting edge rigs,
- 20:15Bitcoin and AI integration. The signal you won't get
- 20:19anywhere else. Grab your tickets today and use
- 20:22promo. Code simply Bitcoin for 20% off
- 20:25and we'll see you there. Cycles don't just die, but they
- 20:29do evolve. The halving cycle became the
- 20:32liquidity cycle, and now the liquidity cycle is morphing into
- 20:35something bigger, the digital scarcity cycle.
- 20:38If we look back to gold, historically, society looks for
- 20:44a hard money and what what made gold a good money was the
- 20:47relative scarcity and the sort of inherent cost of extracting
- 20:53more, mining more that comes with scarcity.
- 20:56And so something which doesn't have any inherent scarcity
- 20:59effectively becomes similar to a share in a company managed by
- 21:03some officers of the company or like a Fiat currency like U.S.
- 21:07dollar or the euro, which is managed by a monetary Policy
- 21:10Committee. So I think it's very difficult
- 21:11to imagine that kind of currency, you know, the old
- 21:14coins and so forth reaching global acceptance as a as a new
- 21:19digital gold. So when you see the Fed cut
- 21:22again or the M2 chart start to curl up, remember that's not
- 21:27noise, that's signal. Yeah baby, that's it for today's
