- 0:00The president says he only cares about one thing, being number
- 0:03one in crypto. I only care about one thing.
- 0:06Will crypto be will we be #1 in crypto?
- 0:09Crypto has turned out, and in that sense, I've been right.
- 0:12Cryptos turned out to be a massive industry, if you want to
- 0:15call it. That $1 trillion Standard
- 0:17Chartered CEO says that all transactions will be settled in
- 0:21crypto and all money will be digital.
- 0:24Our belief, which I think is shared by the leadership of Hong
- 0:26Kong, is that pretty much all transactions will settle on
- 0:30change eventually and that all money will be digital.
- 0:32OK, let me guess, Dante. You're going to tell me that
- 0:35BlackRock is buying, Michael Saylor is buying, countries are
- 0:38buying, banks are buying. Then tell me, why is Bitcoin
- 0:41crashing? Ah, the question of the day.
- 0:44We're going to break down why Bitcoins crashing, who's selling
- 0:47and what's going on under the hood.
- 0:48I bet you won't believe who's the one that's selling.
- 0:51It might be a little depressing for some, but for some, look at
- 0:54it as an opportunity. This is Dante Coco.
- 0:56Bitcoin simply, let's go. I want to make crypto great for
- 1:05America. That's the only thing.
- 1:06I don't want to have somebody else have crypto and have China
- 1:11be #1 in the world in crypto, because in crypto it's a kind of
- 1:14an industry where basically you're going to have #1 and
- 1:17you're not going to have a number 2.
- 1:19And right now we're number one by a long shot.
- 1:21I want to keep it that way. The same way we're number one
- 1:24with AI, we're number one with crypto.
- 1:26I don't want to keep it that way.
- 1:28The president has come out and said that he wants America to be
- 1:31the leader in crypto, igniting a global race for crypto supremacy
- 1:35with China. He also said a very true fact in
- 1:38this statement in sound bite. It's at this is going to be a
- 1:40winner take all. There will be no second best.
- 1:43And that's why countries are clamoring to be the leader in
- 1:46the Bitcoin or in the crypto space like the UK.
- 1:49Listen to this clip from Nigel Farragut.
- 1:51He's in the leading position to be the next Prime Minister for
- 1:54the UK and he believes that the UK, like in the past, should be
- 1:57the global leader in crypto. Folks, it's happening.
- 2:01We're being left behind. There's a global boom in the
- 2:05trade in digital assets, in the use of stable coins to the usage
- 2:10and investment in whole forms of cryptocurrency.
- 2:14We've literally, literally turned our backs on it.
- 2:18Both the Bank of England and the FCA being guilty of this, the
- 2:21reason the City succeeded for hundreds of years is it
- 2:25innovative. It took risk.
- 2:27It saw what the future direction of markets and consumer and
- 2:31customer and commercial demand would be and we have done
- 2:35absolutely none of it. And frankly I believe it's a
- 2:38disaster. We should be leading the world.
- 2:41It's the British Revolution, a call to arms.
- 2:44With all of this excitement in Bitcoin and after the massive
- 2:47sell off, we should be seeing Bitcoin prices at 150K200K,
- 2:51right? That's what Tom Lee said.
- 2:53I mean, if I look at everything since October 10th, because that
- 2:56was the biggest liquidation in the history of crypto, like
- 2:59bigger than the. Margin call most.
- 3:01Yeah, it was like a almost a miniature rupture like a
- 3:05tsunami. We're only a couple weeks from
- 3:08that. So I think the market is
- 3:09consolidating. But if I look at fundamentals
- 3:12like let's like Ethereum stable coin volumes have been exploding
- 3:16application revenues at all time highs.
- 3:18So right now fundamentals are leading price in crypto.
- 3:21So I think eventually we consolidate and then we rally
- 3:23into your end. Yeah, I think we can still get
- 3:29to 152 hundred for Bitcoin and then something like 7000 for
- 3:32Ethereum. Well, what's happening since
- 3:34this clip was aired is actually a bit different.
- 3:37Bitcoin has been in a sustained downtrend since the beginning of
- 3:40October, selling off from 123 K and near all time highs to 103 K
- 3:45as of this recording, and people are in full on panic mode.
- 3:48Who's selling and why? The answer might shock you, but
- 3:51the analytics have confirmed what's actually been going on.
- 3:54It's been the long term hodlers, the Ogs, the whales, the people
- 3:58that got into Bitcoin in 2010, 2011, 2012, and they're selling
- 4:03their coins in mass and in mass as of recently as Bitcoin has
- 4:07broken the barrier to all time highs from 69 K to 109 K to 126
- 4:12K, You see these massive red walls of selling and that's from
- 4:16long term hodlers, Bitcoin Ogs. In analytics terms, it's people
- 4:20who've held Bitcoin for 12 months or longer, but the
- 4:23volumes that we're seeing suggest I said it's not people
- 4:25who got in last year. Check Matey has this chart where
- 4:28he's showing the change in Bitcoin balances from the
- 4:30different parties, Bitcoin treasury companies, ETFs, long
- 4:33term hodlers, short term hodlers.
- 4:35And what you can see is that there's a major blip in the
- 4:37realized cap change, meaning that this isn't coming from the
- 4:40treasury companies or the ETFs, but from long term Ogs.
- 4:44The realized cap comes from a concept of price stamping, which
- 4:47means the UTX OS of Bitcoin are valued at the time that they're
- 4:50purchased and when they're traded or sold moved at some
- 4:53other time, it means that they're there's a net capital
- 4:56flow and when the coins are moved or traded, that means that
- 4:59there's a net capital outflow or a net capital inflow, a realized
- 5:02lost or a realized gain. So if you bought one Bitcoin at
- 5:0510K and then you later sell it at 60K or it's moved to 60 K,
- 5:09then there's a realized cap of 50K.
- 5:11And this chart here shows that there's been a lot of people
- 5:14who've been in the green that are selling Bitcoin.
- 5:16This red bar at the bottom shows a confidence bar.
- 5:19When you see the red underneath of the bar, it means that
- 5:21there's loss taking. People are panicking selling at
- 5:24the bottom. When you see a lot of green
- 5:26above this bar, what means that there's net profit taking or
- 5:29people who are in the green that are selling Spikes either way
- 5:32indicate local bottoms and local tops.
- 5:34And the orange section in this chart shows that the long term
- 5:37hodlers and whales are taking billions in profit. 10s of
- 5:40billions in profit. Simply Bitcoin friend, artist,
- 5:43pilot and all around stud George Bodine talked about this in a
- 5:47conversation with Nico a few weeks ago that this is who they
- 5:50thought was selling Bitcoin and why we haven't seen a blow off
- 5:53top already. Prized, if you want the truth
- 5:56that we are where we are today. I've mentioned this before, I'll
- 6:00say it again. Between 58K and 93K we sold
- 6:051,000,000 coins out of long term holders.
- 6:08People that are convicted, when you get past five months, that's
- 6:12glass nose cut off for long term holder.
- 6:16There is an algorithmic determination of what the
- 6:19likelihood of selling a Bitcoin is.
- 6:21It's very low and yet at the same time we had a million
- 6:24coins, 40,000 a day at one time. We've also over this rise up to
- 6:28about 117118K had a lot of other long term holders starting to
- 6:34sell into the market they have already into the one 20s.
- 6:38You know, the other thing is that thinking of that glass node
- 6:43was just putting out some research that I was reading
- 6:47maybe yesterday and it had to cover with the fact that between
- 6:50about 115 to 117,000, we had tremendous turnover and coins
- 6:56there a lot of new buyers stepping in and now that we're
- 7:01past 120 decisively that is actually flipped.
- 7:05So instead of resistance at that level, it's not like we're
- 7:08breaking through it. It basically is a floor and I
- 7:11think that it's on this side, this sell side pressure that
- 7:15we've seen, which has been like I said very strong.
- 7:19And yet regardless of that, whether it's Bitcoin treasury
- 7:23companies which have kind of fallen off a Cliff as far as
- 7:26demand or the ETFs or just demand through adoption or
- 7:31demand through corporate ledgers, we are seeing enough
- 7:36demand there that it's keeping our price point stabilized so
- 7:39that we're doing these stair steps.
- 7:41In fact, you could look at 2025 and it's just basically a, just
- 7:45a slow chop to a higher value. That's the best kind of market
- 7:50you want to see. I mean, that is what is going to
- 7:52carry us into a much higher price point.
- 7:56What he says at the end is absolutely true.
- 7:58What you see at Bitcoin is that there's always a sustained
- 8:01demand, a sustained new buyer. And we're seeing that in the
- 8:03form of treasury companies. We're seeing that in the form of
- 8:06countries. We're seeing that in the form of
- 8:08new buyers in retail who haven't even joined this party yet, even
- 8:11though the price isn't where a lot of people thought it was
- 8:13going to be. I've always said that it's going
- 8:15to be between 140K and 160K this year, but those were just my
- 8:19personal thoughts. Other people have said 200K475K
- 8:23and so a lot of people are disappointed at where bitcoins
- 8:25price is relative to the expectations that they had going
- 8:28into the end of the year. However, if you bought Bitcoin
- 8:31at a dollar a coin or $10 a coin and it's now $100,000 a coin,
- 8:37well, some people want to do something different with
- 8:39Bitcoin, take some profits, buy their dream home that they
- 8:42always wanted, and some people are just outright bearish.
- 8:44They have the right to be bearish.
- 8:46People like Michael Berry from The Big Short are super bearish.
- 8:49He just put $80 billion in shorts on Palantir and NVIDIA as
- 8:53he believes that the market's about to crash and people aren't
- 8:56gambling like they used to, as the tourism number to Vegas are
- 8:59the lowest that they've been since the Great Financial
- 9:02crisis. There isn't a ton of optimism in
- 9:04the markets right now, and that's not just in Bitcoin, but
- 9:07there are still some of us that have a long term outlook and
- 9:09believe that we are just getting started in this Bitcoin journey.
- 9:12We're in the beginning of a major rotation happening
- 9:14globally. There's people smarter than me
- 9:16that believe that people like Larry Leopard, like Jack
- 9:19Mahler's, but we'll get to their clips after we thank our
- 9:21sponsors. Letting has been the leader in
- 9:23Bitcoin backed loans since 2018, issuing over $9 billion worth of
- 9:27loans to 10s of thousands of customers all across the world.
- 9:29And it's for people who've been huddling Bitcoin for a while.
- 9:33They've accumulated some gains in their Bitcoin stack, but they
- 9:35don't want to sell it. So letting allows you to unlock
- 9:38liquidity in your Bitcoin without selling your Bitcoin
- 9:41without credit checks. You can get Fiat in your account
- 9:44in less than six hours and the application takes just two
- 9:46minutes. They're a Bitcoin only company
- 9:49and they're one of the first companies to do a digital proof
- 9:52of reserves, meaning that they have the Bitcoin that they say
- 9:54they do when you post your Bitcoin as collateral loans
- 9:57start at just 12.4%, but if you go to the link at learn dot LED
- 10:01in dot AO slash simply well, you get .25% off your first loan.

- 10:42but surely moving towards Bitcoin.
- 10:44Things that's happened recently is that Wall Street has woken up
- 10:47to the what they call the monetary debasement trade.
- 10:49We've been talking about that for five or ten years.
- 10:50JP Morgan termed it the monetary debasement trade.
- 10:53Mohamed El Erian came out and spotted as if he'd been known it
- 10:55for the last five years. He's a bandwagon jumper.
- 10:58He's very late to the game. And JP Morgan, the guy who's CEO
- 11:01basically hated Bitcoin, thought it was Ponzi scheme.
- 11:04They've now decided to accept it as collateral.
- 11:06What's going on is Bitcoin is winning in all these different
- 11:09formats, but historically at government levels and above,
- 11:14gold been money for 5000 years and if there's a monetary
- 11:17debasement trade to be had, they're not quite ready for
- 11:20Bitcoin yet. They don't understand it,
- 11:21they're afraid of it. Quantum, all the FUD is still
- 11:24existent in a lot of mines and I deal with gold bugs 24/7 who
- 11:28can't get over the fact that it's money that's not physical.
- 11:31I'm like, money's always been a Ledger, but they can't get there
- 11:33and these guys are just doing what they've traditionally done
- 11:36and they're going to get to Bitcoin.
- 11:38They're just not ready yet. I think of them as pre evolved
- 11:40people, sub evolved people, and eventually they will evolve to
- 11:44the level that they know that Bitcoin is far superior to gold.
- 11:48But you know what? It's Churchill, right?
- 11:50Americans do the right thing after everything else.
- 11:51First we'll try gold and then they'll realize that's not going
- 11:53to work because the LBMA and all those guys create a lot of paper
- 11:56gold. Then they'll get the Bitcoin.
- 11:57They only know one thing, and that is we rotate out of
- 12:00equities into gold when we seek a fear trade.
- 12:03But Bitcoin is slowly replacing gold as the new monetary
- 12:07standard moving forward. It's superior than gold in every
- 12:09way. And the rest of the world
- 12:11doesn't understand, like Jack Mahler's, that the US has no
- 12:14option but to print. The economy is fake, and the
- 12:17system is propped up by debt. By virtue of the fact that we
- 12:20are the global reserve currency issuer, it means that we need to
- 12:23run on deficits. It's only a matter of time
- 12:26before the US begins to buy the hardest currency in the world,
- 12:29which is Bitcoin. I think the next big step would
- 12:33be if a government that has the ability to print and debase and
- 12:38uses a central bank to manipulate and control and
- 12:42influence the time, energy, effort and labor of the populace
- 12:45and of society. If, if a government that has
- 12:49that power is able to buy Bitcoin and acknowledge it, not
- 12:53even the legal tender part, just acknowledge it, own it and
- 12:59validate it, that would be huge deal.
- 13:02And I actually think the United States of America is probably in
- 13:07the best position to do that. And where I think they're the
- 13:10most likely candidate because they have the world reserve
- 13:13currency. Like the US is like, like we
- 13:18just issued debt. Like we're, you know, being
- 13:20part, being the world reserve currency implies that we run
- 13:24these massive deficits and we issue all of this debt, right?
- 13:26And so we are the most incentivized to actually start
- 13:31backing our future promises with something real.
- 13:34So I told, you know, my chief of staff is somewhere in the
- 13:38audience. I told him, like after El
- 13:40Salvador, people would ask me, you know, what's the next?
- 13:43Is it, you know, Guatemala, Argentina, everyone was like
- 13:46looking on a map, looking through Latin America.
- 13:49I said, you know, it might be the United States.
- 13:51Bitcoins very American. And the United States in theory
- 13:56is technology innovation, inclusion, equality.
- 14:00Every node on the network is treated equal.
- 14:02You can come and and go as you please.
- 14:04So maybe I'm manifesting a little bit.
- 14:07Maybe this is less of a prediction, more of a hope.
- 14:10But I think that would be a really big deal.
- 14:12And as big of a deal as El Salvador was.
- 14:14The next step would be a government that actually can
- 14:18print their money and debase the populace through money printing.
- 14:22If they were to say this Bitcoin thing's legit and we should have
- 14:25some, I think that'd be massive. This is the long term game.
- 14:30I honestly don't look at price other than to create videos like
- 14:33this. If nothing is fundamentally
- 14:35changed about the thesis in the world, the global debt problem
- 14:38that we have, the manipulation happening by central banks to
- 14:41debase our time and our value, well then my thesis on Bitcoin
- 14:45still hasn't changed. It will be a long term winner in
- 14:48this process. It's all a matter of whether we
- 14:50have the patience to execute on this sort of trade.
- 14:53And like the Ogs and the hobblers who held Bitcoin for
- 14:5510-15 years, who are now selling well, will we be the the people
- 14:59that are holding Bitcoin till 20352040?
- 15:02Will we be the people that never sell?
