Latest / Simply Bitcoin / BREAKING: 200X Bitcoin Prediction?! (WHY Did He Change?) | EP 1272
Transcript
- 0:00Yo, Michael Saylor just made another explosive $21 million
- 0:05Bitcoin price prediction in front of 10,000 people at BTC
- 0:10Prague. But what if there's more than
- 0:12meets the eye? The main question is why is
- 0:15Michael Saylor once again raising his Bitcoin price
- 0:19prediction? I think that's something that
- 0:20actually me and Opti predicted when he originally came out with
- 0:24that $13 million base case. We said, bro, he's going to have
- 0:28to one up himself every single conference.
- 0:31And that's exactly what he did 2024 in Nashville.
- 0:36He said, hey guys, $13 million Bitcoin in 20 years and then bom
- 0:40Bing bom boom 2025 at BTC Prague.
- 0:44He's like, hey boys, $21 million Bitcoin in 21 years.
- 0:50So what information is he seeing?
- 0:52What does he have access to that we all don't have access to?
- 0:55We're going to be doing a full breakdown.
- 0:57But before we do a deep dive into all this and have this
- 1:01fabulous conversation, let's check out this clip from the
- 1:05Man, the Myth, The Chat Sailor himself.
- 1:09And so with that, with the help of all that information, I'm
- 1:13going to now share my Bitcoin prophecy.
- 1:24I think we're going to be $21 million in 21 years.
- 1:32It's a very special time in the network, maybe the one time in
- 1:38the history of the network where you look out 21 years and you
- 1:41see 21 million. Specifically, I expect 21
- 1:46million coins at a $21 million price in 21 years.
- 1:50And people ask how's the network going to grow?
- 1:53It's going to be growing at 21% in 21 years.
- 1:58The volatility is going to be 21.
- 2:02This is all. The only number you need to
- 2:04remember is the #21. Alright everybody, we are back.
- 2:15OK, 2121 million, 21% Kaggar. That's Michael Saylor's official
- 2:24prophecy and just doing a little bit of compare and contrast,
- 2:28shall we? This is what he predicted the
- 2:31year before at Bitcoin 2024. He said that his base case was
- 2:37$13 million, that Bitcoin would have a $280 trillion market cap
- 2:44and his basically his Kaggar, it was 29%.
- 2:49So he changed the numbers a little bit.
- 2:51But what I will say is actually me and Opti, to give ourselves a
- 2:54little bit of credit, we did predict that he was going to
- 2:57raise the numbers. And the reason for that is quite
- 3:01simple, like once you start, you know, putting numbers out, you
- 3:06kind of have to raise the price predictions.
- 3:08That's that's kind of how it works, right?
- 3:11So, you know, I'm not saying it's overly bullish, I'm not
- 3:16saying it's overly bearish, but I will say it was inevitable
- 3:20that this was going to happen. Now, what's he going to say next
- 3:23to your $50 million Bitcoin? I mean, technically he did say
- 3:26that. But anyways, Opta, you do have
- 3:29another clip. Right.
- 3:30Yeah, Yeah. But before we get to that, I do
- 3:32want to point out like look at this chart here guys.
- 3:35If you kind of notice that obviously I'm going to, I'm
- 3:39going to play the clip for you guys.
- 3:41It is interesting that he basically says in 21 years
- 3:45there'll be a 21% ARR, which is what we're seeing here as his
- 3:49bear case now and that his that's basically like his base
- 3:52case, bull case going into the future.
- 3:54So it is absolutely incredible that we're seeing him kind of go
- 3:59from 13 mil to 21 mil. Maybe it's just a good meme, you
- 4:02know all. The only number you need to
- 4:04remember is 21, obviously on brand for Bitcoin, on brand for
- 4:09the 21 million hard cap. But remember 2 weeks ago, I
- 4:12believe it was, we did kind of an updated Kager based on his
- 4:16prediction of last year based on 100K price and that price got
- 4:20moved up to 16 mil. Now this is just blowing that
- 4:23out of the water here at 21 million.
- 4:26So again, yeah. And the question is like, what
- 4:29is he saying or rather seeing on the back end?
- 4:32And I think we've been covering this on the show for a long
- 4:34time. In the clip we have for you, he
- 4:36doesn't really explain everything that he's seeing on
- 4:38the back end. Maybe there's some propriety
- 4:40information that he really can't tell us.
- 4:43But we have been hearing what Sailor's been saying about why
- 4:46he thinks it's going to these ridiculous numbers.
- 4:49And I know everyone's like it, dude, I'm sick and tired of
- 4:52these 20 year projections. Just tell me what Bitcoins going
- 4:54to do next year. Obviously we don't know, but as
- 4:57as Stu's going to tell us, it's already Infinity per Bitcoin.
- 5:01It's priceless. You know, Bitcoin is the most
- 5:04valuable thing you can own, period.
- 5:06But again, just to recap some of these things we talked about
- 5:10Saylor, he did this and I believe it was 2020 Nikko where
- 5:12he said the the three things that take Bitcoin to five mail
- 5:15is the ETF, it is the Fazbee accounting rules and then banks
- 5:20custody Bitcoin. And I think that was by 2030.
- 5:22So the all those things are cleared out.
- 5:25And then we followed him up again recently, I believe again,
- 5:28it was last week and he went out and was saying crazy stuff on
- 5:31squat Lux and apparently saying it's on, on squat.
- 5:36But I'm choking on my saliva over here.
- 5:38And he was basically saying it's the regulatory environment that
- 5:43we're seeing, the embracing of Bitcoin from nation states, the
- 5:46game theory kicking in, of course, the 21 million hard cap
- 5:49and then the next having there's going to be less Bitcoin
- 5:52circulating in the market. So things are going to get
- 5:56crazy. Of course, we've all heard and
- 5:58been covering the corporate treasury strategy, strategy
- 6:01playing out where all these corporations are seemingly
- 6:04wanting to buy Bitcoin. So I think we are going to see
- 6:07the fabled supply. I shocked that everyone's been
- 6:09talking about. It's got to happen at some
- 6:12point. I know everyone's really right
- 6:14now probably in the chat going like, hey, bro, you know, we
- 6:18just got under 100K crazy stuff going on in the world.
- 6:21Can we just get to like A120150 Ki even have friends that are a
- 6:25long time bitcoiners right now that are essentially turning
- 6:27bears on me and I'm like, bro, get out of my DMS here, like
- 6:31stop text messaging me this, this bear doom stuff like no one
- 6:36wants to hear this. We stay bull tarted in in every
- 6:40possible scenario. So actually before I play the
- 6:43next clip, though still from Satchats, literally, you know,
- 6:48someone that hangs out in the chat doing his own thing.
- 6:51What's your thoughts on these predictions?
- 6:52I know you told me before the show, you're like, I don't care
- 6:55about the Fiat price. The only price or the only
- 6:57number that matters is how many sats I hold, which is, you know,
- 7:01a Nikko ISM here. So Stu, thanks for coming on
- 7:03today. What's your thoughts on this?
- 7:04Yeah, man. I mean, first of all, Knights of
- 7:07Opti salute in the this is what. This is what happens when you
- 7:12listen to simply Bitcoin every day you turn into a Bitcoiner
- 7:15and you appear on the show, dude, 21/21/20.
- 7:19What is what? What what what was all that,
- 7:21man? I mean, I can tell you exactly
- 7:23what the price of Bitcoin will be next year.
- 7:26I can tell you exactly what the price of Bitcoin will be in 21
- 7:29years man. The price of one Bitcoin next
- 7:32year is going to be 1 Bitcoin dude what are you who, who who
- 7:36cares all that business. All I care about is how much
- 7:40Bitcoin do I have because the exchange rate back into Fiat
- 7:45clown world is unimportant man. We're talking about a brand new
- 7:49form of computation that has solved the copy paste problem.
- 7:55Let's go bars. Actually, we'll we'll give them
- 7:57some. OK, now on to the next clip,
- 8:01which is a little more of an explainer and I really hope this
- 8:04didn't mess up on me 'cause Restream did mess up on me, but
- 8:07I'm pretty sure this is the right one.
- 8:08So let's listen to the second clip and then we'll chat about
- 8:11it. And what does that look like?
- 8:15Well, that looks like 28.5% from here, not that different,
- 8:20slightly less than 29% ARR. But the path, the path to 21
- 8:26million, it's not going to be simple.
- 8:29It's going to be volatile. And so you're going to, you're
- 8:33going to see a volatility and it's going, it's going to damp
- 8:36over time. But you got to be prepared for
- 8:39the volatility, for the surges and the draw downs, the good
- 8:42days, the bad days. This is Bitcoins annualized
- 8:46return. Looking back a decade, looking
- 8:48forward to decades, and you can see that the network was growing
- 8:53faster. When it's small, that's totally
- 8:55rational. It's now in the mid 50s.
- 9:00What do I expect? I expect it will continue to
- 9:03grow exponentially, but as it approaches hundreds of trillions
- 9:08of dollars, it will decelerate to the point where it's growing
- 9:12about 21% a year. Now, how does that compare to
- 9:16the S&P? It'll be growing faster in 20
- 9:20years. It's still going to be the best
- 9:22idea. It's still going to be the most
- 9:25lucrative capital asset a company can hold.
- 9:29It's still going to be a durable vital.
- 9:34There will not be a better investment in the year 2046.
- 9:39And I think it's very important to understand that Bitcoins
- 9:45trending toward the performance of the best capital assets in
- 9:52the world in the conventional world, which are like, you know,
- 9:55MAG 7 digital monopolies mixed into an index.
- 9:58It's trending toward it, but it will never reach it.
- 10:01And it will never perform at that level because it's always
- 10:05going to be better. It's always going to be more
- 10:07useful. It's always going to be less
- 10:09risky. It's always going to have the
- 10:10counterparty risk of a company stripped away.
- 10:13There's never going to be ACEO to subpoena.
- 10:16There's never going to be a labour force.
- 10:18There's never going to be the challenge of a supply chain.
- 10:21It's never going to have a tariff on it.
- 10:23It's going to be pure digital energy, pure economic energy by
- 10:30then. It will be moving at the speed
- 10:32of light, on layer twos, on layer threes.
- 10:36It'll be moving 10 million * a second.
- 10:39It'll be trading between billions and billions of nodes
- 10:42and billions of other nodes. There's going to be nothing else
- 10:46to compete with it. It will be the most valuable
- 10:50thing, performing the best. You're not going to want to sell
- 10:53it in 21 years, you're just going to wish that you had
- 10:57acquired more of it. So I mean, dude, I'm going to
- 11:03stick to my guns and I'm going to say like definitely raising
- 11:11the price, definitely raising the price prediction.
- 11:15And, and if you take a look at that chart too, it looks like
- 11:20all that parabola is going to happen when we're all old men.
- 11:25It's like that, that short term volatility isn't going to happen
- 11:28for another 1520 years. So it's going to give him a, a
- 11:32ton of leeway and whatnot. But I'm not surprised.
- 11:36I mean, look like we called this when he made his initial price
- 11:41prediction. And I'm not saying he's going to
- 11:43be wrong at all. I'm not trying to imply that.
- 11:46But we called this last year when he he made these
- 11:49predictions, right? When he made that $13 million
- 11:52prediction, I told Opti I was like, dude, like once you start
- 11:56heading down this path, you're just gonna have to start moving
- 11:58this up or else it's just not that big of a deal, right?
- 12:03I think to what I get from essentially that whole segment
- 12:08that he did, that whole presentation he did, I think
- 12:10it's like 44 minutes is that at the end of fundamentally like
- 12:16Bitcoin is going to be the best performing asset, it is going to
- 12:20be beating the S&P. But at the same time it is
- 12:24maturing. And that's kind of a reality
- 12:26that I think Bitcoiners have to face, right.
- 12:29You know, the days of of these 10 XS kind of overnight, maybe
- 12:35they're kind of past us a little bit.
- 12:38You know, that's, that's what I'm thinking.
- 12:40It is, it is getting, it is getting a little bit, it is
- 12:44getting a little bit. You know, it's, it's getting,
- 12:47it's, it's maturing. It's maturing.
- 12:49I think it was Mauricio when he came on, he was like breaking it
- 12:53down. This cycle is like primarily
- 12:56driven by it's primarily driven by institutions.
- 13:00I mean all these, all these kind of retail, I mean all these, all
- 13:07these Bitcoin purchases, the big ones specifically they're being
- 13:12bought by smart money. They're these aren't kind of
- 13:16retail, you know, hype mania type of phases that we've had in
- 13:21the past. Now, I'm not saying that can't
- 13:22happen, but I think unit biases is a big deal.
- 13:27I think it is something to consider and I think Bitcoin
- 13:31just growing up as an asset now, I think the good part about this
- 13:35is we might not see those crazy, you know, 80 year, 80%
- 13:43corrections that we've seen in the past.
- 13:46I love pulling up this chart 'cause it kind of explains what
- 13:48I'm talking about. Like Bitcoin hasn't been
- 13:52searched like it has since December of 2017, right?
- 13:58Which is when we ran up from 1K to 20K.
- 14:02And then in 2021 it kind of had a little bit of a mania, right?
- 14:06But it only got to like 50 of what the 2017 mania was.
- 14:11And then currently right now, right, we had a mania like at at
- 14:15the end of last year NN December.
- 14:19And then it's just kind of been, you know, kind of retail is not
- 14:23even aware that Bitcoin exists. And it seems like the volatility
- 14:27plays right now happened to be the Bitcoin treasury companies.
- 14:31That's what I'm seeing now. Does that mean that Bitcoin is
- 14:34boring or that it's a bad investment or any of these
- 14:37things? No, I don't think so.
- 14:39I think Bitcoin's extremely exciting.
- 14:40I think 29% CAGR, you know, year, year over year.
- 14:45And then the next five years it's going to be between 50 and
- 14:4835 or 40, whatever. It's still nothing's going to
- 14:52give you that type of return from a risk adjusted basis.
- 14:57So, I mean, you know, it is, it is extremely, it's still
- 15:01extremely lucrative. It's it's a one in a
- 15:03generational opportunity, obviously.
- 15:06But simultaneously you have to understand that the game has
- 15:09changed a little bit. The game has changed a little
- 15:12bit, you know, but, but, and I said this when we were covering
- 15:16this and what Mauricio was on the show, like, you know,
- 15:21simultaneously, we've heard this, we've heard this narrative
- 15:25before that cycles are over, cycles are done for.
- 15:29I've heard this many, many times before.
- 15:31Ladies and gentlemen, you know, the last two or three cycles,
- 15:35I've heard the same thing. Cycles are over, cycles are
- 15:38done. This is the Super cycle.
- 15:40So this could be the same case here, but from where I'm
- 15:43sitting, man, the price action this year we started I believe
- 15:47it was like $109,000 six months into the year, 6 or 7, seven
- 15:52months into the year, we're sitting at 100,000 basically.
- 15:57So six months into the year. So for six months we've
- 16:00literally been going sideways. We had a dip to like the 70 KS
- 16:06and then we're back at the 100K region.
- 16:09And then, you know, Orange man decided to, you know, drop some
- 16:13bombs and that didn't really help the price.
- 16:17We're going to be talking about that by the way, 'cause the hash
- 16:19rate like crashed. It was kind of I don't know.
- 16:22I I think that's interesting. I think you guys will appreciate
- 16:24it anyways. If you guys are enjoying the
- 16:26show so far, make sure to smash that like button.
- 16:28Help us break 100 likes by the 30 minute mark.
- 16:32So smash that like button. If you guys are enjoying the
- 16:34show and I do want to give a shout out to the live stream
- 16:371400 of you guys watching live between YouTube and X and of
- 16:42course, shout out to the rumble live stream as well.
- 16:45Again, if you guys are enjoying simply Bitcoin live smash that
- 16:49like button Yeah, Opti I I don't know what to say, dude, like it.
- 16:53It's it's not as exciting as it was when we started covering
- 16:57this six months ago. Look, I'm going to pass it to
- 17:00Stu, 'cause it's going to be two, two bulltard bullying a
- 17:04bear on today's. Show dude, you start.
- 17:07With this and and then tag me in the ring.
- 17:09Dude, come on. Come on Nico.
- 17:12Bitcoin is so exciting yes, it's fun to think about how many
- 17:19dollars it'll get us in the future because I'm trying to I'm
- 17:23trying to live that life for sure I mean I was I was working
- 17:26a a career and earning more and more and my budget was getting
- 17:29tighter and tighter and like I didn't have access to
- 17:32traditional assets and my dude, what's going on here man?
- 17:35I do want Bitcoin to help me go to the moon.
- 17:37But you know, if you're saying that maybe it's like days of
- 17:42going wild or behind us, fine, dude.
- 17:45Because my dollar's going down no matter what.
- 17:47If Bitcoin can just like help me stay steady and the money I put
- 17:51into it is the money that comes back out of it.
- 17:53And like my boy Skip on down the road says it's actually about
- 17:57the purchasing power. If Bitcoin can just preserve my
- 18:01purchasing power, that's that's good enough for me 'cause I know
- 18:04the dollar isn't. But dude, you talk.
- 18:07I mean, if you want to come at it like an asset and say, hey,
- 18:10look, here's a chart and we're going to put this lens on to
- 18:15Bitcoin like it is a stock or a bond or real estate, and then
- 18:20the candles are happening and all that, fine, that's fine.
- 18:23Bitcoin is an asset. And you're not wrong.
- 18:25But Bitcoin is also money. Bitcoin is also a brand new form
- 18:30of computation, man. It's like, it's like the Wright
- 18:32brothers appeared out of nowhere and like #60 simple, Steve says,
- 18:37put together an airplane out of spare lawn mower parts, flew it
- 18:40and disappear. Like nobody actually knows just
- 18:44what Bitcoin is going to do in the future.
- 18:46And you, I, I challenge you to tell me that Bitcoin won't 10X
- 18:52in Fiat terms when people figure out that it works on the moon,
- 18:55that it works on Mars, that it's the, it's the intergalactic
- 18:58credit man. Bitcoin's going.
- 19:00Bitcoin's going. Yeah, I mean, but again, moving
- 19:06the goal posts a little bit, moving the goal posts and that's
- 19:08something to, that's something to keep in mind, right, while
- 19:12we're having this conversation, right?
- 19:14It went from alright, man, you know, bitcoins gonna 510X right
- 19:19to like bro, I'm happy that it maintains our purchasing power a
- 19:22little bit, right. So it is, it is kind of, again,
- 19:26I, I gotta say, it is a maturing asset.
- 19:30You know, it's still incredibly exciting.
- 19:33I I think that if you're thinking long term, but I mean,
- 19:37Opti are the glory days behind us, my friend, because he he's
- 19:40moving these price predictions. I mean, 21 years, dude, like
- 19:43we're going to be middle-aged. You know, you're probably going
- 19:46to be boomers. You're probably going to have
- 19:48some babies by then, you know, well, we'll see.
- 19:51Like dude, like I mean like it used to be like OK bro, like 10X
- 19:56in a in, in two years in a cycle.
- 19:59Right now it's, you know, the 20X or 30X in 21 years.
- 20:05Like holy cow. I'm just saying.
- 20:09I mean, 21 mil from here in 20 years, 21 years, I think that's
- 20:13more than a 20X Nico. So I think that's a 200 X.
- 20:18That's 200 X. But hey, you know, maths is
- 20:21hard. I don't know.
- 20:21Someone fact checked me in in the chat here.
- 20:24Anyways, my, my take is like, look, are the good days long
- 20:29gone? I don't think so.
- 20:30One more of a heuristic that I feel it's like you go and talk
- 20:34to people and normal people. I know you guys don't talk to
- 20:35normal people. You have excommunicated all of
- 20:38the people in your lives that aren't Bitcoiners.
- 20:40But if you still talk to normal people, most of them think
- 20:42you're crazy when you bring up Bitcoin and further, most of
- 20:45them think you're even crazier if you tell them you're all in
- 20:47on Bitcoin. And what that tells me is few
- 20:50people are actually in Bitcoin. I know we've gotten a lot of
- 20:52metrics recently somewhere around the line.
- 20:55At least this is kind of the consensus right now that there's
- 20:58probably, you know, 1-2, maybe 3% of people globally that are
- 21:03in Bitcoin. And I venture to guess it's even
- 21:05lower the percentage of people that really understand Bitcoin,
- 21:09like every one of us do in the chat and that make Bitcoin
- 21:12content. So I think that the true
- 21:14adoption rate of Bitcoin from like a Bitcoin maxi perspective
- 21:18is I think a lot lower. And so you kind of, you know,
- 21:21you take that idea and you realize most people out there,
- 21:23you go to the grocery store, you know, you go get gas, etcetera,
- 21:26etcetera. I would guess that probably less
- 21:30than one person every time you go out there actually hold some
- 21:33Bitcoin, understand some Bitcoin.
- 21:34So I'm saying all that to essentially say, I think we
- 21:38still haven't seen the S curve adoption of Bitcoin.
- 21:41I think it's still going to go absolutely nuclear.
- 21:43And if you kind of look at that chart that Saylor was saying, I
- 21:46think that's kind of what he's saying.
- 21:48He's like, look, the next 20 years is going to be the time
- 21:51that Bitcoin becomes monetized, the Bitcoin standard, hyper
- 21:54bitcoinization, whatever you want to call it.
- 21:56That is when we do wait this way, that's wait, what did I do?
- 22:00That's when we do the parabolic run up because we still haven't
- 22:05seen I think the the critical mass of adoption on Bitcoin.
- 22:09Now that's more of a heuristic, that's more of a gut feeling.
- 22:12But if you think the good old days are gone and Sailor is
- 22:15correct, Bitcoin going up $1,000,000 a year, I don't know.
- 22:19That sounds pretty bullish to me.
- 22:20Yes, maybe in percentage terms it's worse than what it was in
- 22:23the past, but in via purchasing power terms, that's an
- 22:27incredible ride. And if you listen to that clip,
- 22:30there's a few interesting parts about it. 1 he basically said
- 22:33like that, the magnificent 7 you know, all the big tech stocks
- 22:37that are now the monopolies of the world, they're going to be
- 22:39left in the dust. Now everyone knows that right
- 22:42now this is how you stay ahead. You basically just hold the bag.
- 22:457 you know, maybe you got some real estate, some other kind of
- 22:48investments, but the big leaders in your portfolio are the ones
- 22:52that are dominating the world. The big multi international
- 22:55corporations that basically were we're all using, that's how you
- 22:58really stay ahead of the debasement of the dollar.
- 23:02Now if Bitcoin does better than that, then you can venture to
- 23:05guess that a lot of people are going to essentially diversify
- 23:07from those portfolios into Bitcoin.
- 23:09And I think it just, it just starts to magnify.
- 23:12I just I really don't think we've hit that snowball tipping
- 23:15point moment yet. We're starting to get there.
- 23:18And I think we all kind of do have a little PTSD from the last
- 23:22run. We're all kind of trying to
- 23:24rationalize and model out how this is going to work.
- 23:27But again, the irrational spirits of humanity, the
- 23:30psychology behind humanity figuring out that there's a
- 23:32better money out there. I think that's going to blow
- 23:34everything out of the water. Now the last thing that's not
- 23:37really price predictions that I that I kind of find interesting
- 23:40was sailors saying there's going to be billions of nodes there.
- 23:43Now that is incredibly bullish. I think that's even more bullish
- 23:46than I would think. We're at what roughly, you know,
- 23:49again, the metrics somewhere around 20,000 nodes.
- 23:52So that's I don't really think one in eight people are going to
- 23:56be running nodes personally, I think it's going to be less, but
- 23:59if that's the case, you know a node almost in every household.
- 24:03It's hard how it's hard to see how you're not bullish here yes,
- 24:06of course, we're starting to feel like I like I said, I have
- 24:09AI have a couple friends that are that are starting to be
- 24:11doomers out there. They're starting to be bears,
- 24:13AKA Niko over here. You know we're all waiting.
- 24:16We all want the price to run. We're all wondering if the
- 24:18cycles are breaking, but I, I'm still convinced this year is
- 24:22like 203100K by the end of the year.
- 24:26I think we're gonna follow old cycles and we're gonna get a
- 24:28blow off top like November, December time, as we've seen
- 24:30multiple times in the past. But again, all of the buying and
- 24:34purchasing power of Bitcoin or sorry, the purchasing of coins
- 24:37from treasuries, It's just like there's not that much Bitcoin to
- 24:41go around when everyone, the majority of coins, I think it
- 24:43was like 6068% of coins are held in self custody.
- 24:48It's like this can get crazy really fast.
- 24:50Now, again, as I kind of caveated this in the beginning,
- 24:55everyone, it's getting kind of tired of like what's going to
- 24:57happen in 20 years, as Niko was saying, you know, we're going to
- 25:00be boomers by then. We're not actually boomers, but
- 25:02we'll be basically senior citizens at that point.
- 25:04Like I want to, I want to enjoy these purchasing power now.
- 25:07So we're all kind of thinking, OK, what's going to what's going
- 25:10to like, dude, we've heard the predictions, We know it's going
- 25:12up forever. Infinity divided by 21 million
- 25:15or everything divided between. I get, I get all the, the
- 25:18ideological, you know, rhetoric around Bitcoin, the propaganda
- 25:23around Bitcoin, It's like, but what's this going to do in a
- 25:25year or two for me and my family?
- 25:27Because that's really what people are are focused on.
- 25:29It's like people have problems right now.
- 25:32People are hurting. We're seeing all kinds of crazy
- 25:35stuff. And you know, on a more tempered
- 25:37take, Nico, what's kind of trolling it guys?
- 25:40We've just seen some crazy stuff over the weekend and Bitcoin
- 25:43barely dipped down under 100K. Like, I don't know, I think the
- 25:47network and even the price of Bitcoin right now is pretty
- 25:50stable, pretty strong. I think this is a good dive off
- 25:53point for what we're going to see by the end of the year.
- 25:56And then also, you know, we, we get a discount.
- 25:58If you like it at 100K, you'll like it at 99 K.
- 26:00If you like it at a million, you're going to love it at 100K.
- 26:03Like what's the issue here? Of course, you know, we want to,
- 26:06we want to enjoy our purchasing power here.
- 26:08We want to, we want to enjoy the huddle ride here.
- 26:10But as as me and and me and Stuart were saying before the
- 26:13show, as Nico said on the show before, the only real number is,
- 26:17are you acquiring more Bitcoin? That's the only thing that
- 26:20matters. Everything else is fun.
- 26:21We love to do price predictions. Anyone that says they don't care
- 26:25about the price of Bitcoin is lying.
- 26:27Everyone loves to just make predictions and try to try to
- 26:31get the try to entice their friends the FOMO into this.
- 26:34Dude, Opti Opti, is Michael Saylor saying that his base case
- 26:38from 13 is now up to 21 or that? Yeah, that's that's.
- 26:42Exactly right. So just to clear it up for the
- 26:44people. He's not bringing his bull case
- 26:46down from. Four, No, no, he's bringing it
- 26:47up. So just just to just to be
- 26:50clear. Here, as we predicted.
- 26:52Yeah, just just to be clear here for everyone, if you if you pop
- 26:55in a little late. So Saylor basically moved up his
- 26:5821 year prediction to 21 million.
- 27:01And then after that 21 million price point, he's saying that
- 27:05Bitcoin will increase by 21% every year and the volatility
- 27:09will be damped in from you know, 7080% corrections to roughly
- 27:13fluctuating a around this 21%. So I don't know all these, all
- 27:17these models, of course they will be broken are kind of
- 27:20bullish to me. Yeah, yeah.
- 27:22Let's go. Dude, let's go.
- 27:25So yes, ladies and gentlemen, the TLDR, Michael Saylor has
- 27:29officially raised his price prediction from $13 million per
- 27:34coin to $21 million per coin. We predicted this on simply
- 27:38Bitcoin because once you start throwing out these price
- 27:41predictions, you got to one up yourself.
- 27:43You, you guys have to understand every presentation that you
- 27:46make, you set a bar. It's like when you do an
- 27:49interview with someone and the interview has like a certain
- 27:52production quality, the next interview has to have the same
- 27:55production quality or better production quality or else just
- 27:58people won't resonate with it the same.
- 28:00So like you, you get used to it. It's like as if I told you to go
- 28:04back in time and, you know, adopt an iPhone 5, right?
- 28:09Like you'd be like, dude, this thing sucks.
- 28:11But at the time you're like, yo, this thing's awesome.
- 28:14Like human beings get used to things, right?
- 28:17So once you start kind of saying, OK, $13 million per
- 28:20coin, the next one, you're going to have to, you're going to have
- 28:23to raise it a little bit, right? So I think that was an
- 28:26inevitability as we predicted here on simply Bitcoin.
- 28:29The moment we covered that prediction, I think it was like
- 28:32a year ago or so. So it's not surprising at all.
- 28:36But I, I, I, I, that doesn't mean that I disagree with
- 28:39Saylor, though. I completely agree with him.
- 28:41I think this thing's going up forever.
- 28:43I think the volatility has decreased a little bit and I
- 28:46think that's a reality that I think a lot of bitcoiners are
- 28:50still kind of digesting As Mauricio came on yeah, Mauricio
- 28:55Co founder of leaden, he came on last last week and he broke it
- 28:59down for you guys. He said like, listen, guys, like
- 29:02it's a little bit of a different game now.
- 29:04You know, bitcoins grown up, you know, these are these are real
- 29:08players buying Bitcoin like these are this is smart money
- 29:11buying Bitcoin. What does that mean?
- 29:13That means that they're not just going on whatever on ramp
- 29:16they're using and smash buying. They're doing it in a way where
- 29:21they're not moving the price upwards.
- 29:24But that's only going to happen for so long until what happens.
- 29:29I mean, you see the Pete Russo post every here at every, you
- 29:34know, you see them all the time. Like eventually, like a, a, a, a
- 29:40beach ball that you put underwater, the thing's
- 29:43eventually gonna blow up to the top.
- 29:45Now there is conversation of potential paper Bitcoin as well.
- 29:49And that is kind of a risk. I remember having a, a, a very
- 29:52deep conversation with Caitlin Long and Larry Laparte about
- 29:55this. And, you know, fundamentally, a
- 29:58lot of this Bitcoin is held with custodians, right?
- 30:01So you kind of have to take their word for it that they have
- 30:03the Bitcoin that they have that they are supposedly selling,
- 30:07right? And yeah, fundamentally, like,
- 30:10let's look at the reality. The reality is at the beginning
- 30:13of the year, Bitcoin was at 109 K right Now, six months into the
- 30:17year, Bitcoin's at 100 and $100,771, right?
- 30:22So we've literally gone sideways for six months, right?
- 30:25Like, could you imagine telling us that six months ago, Opti?
- 30:29I think, I think we would have quit.
- 30:30I think simply Bitcoin would have racked up no, but at the
- 30:34simultaneously, you know, I'm, I'm as equally bullish as optive
- 30:40heading into the end of the year.
- 30:41Historically, Bitcoin performs extremely well in Q4.
- 30:46Let's see if it continues that pattern.
- 30:49If it doesn't continue that pattern, we're in completely
- 30:52uncharted territory, right? If Bitcoin, you know, already
- 30:56peaked or we're at 100K or we start kind of just going
- 31:00sideways and we start kind of creeping up, we're in uncharted
- 31:03territory. And that kind of reminds me of
- 31:05this post from DJ Boyapati, which I'm going to, I'm going to
- 31:09pull up for you guys 'cause I was like tweeting about this and
- 31:16VJ has done an like is awesome. He wrote the case like, you
- 31:20know, the bull, the bull case for Bitcoin.
- 31:23And I do want to pull up one of the posts that he did, which was
- 31:29really, really interesting and I think extremely fitting.
- 31:33So Opti, if you could pull up the screen, senor.
- 31:36Thank you, Sir. Why is Bitcoin's price stuck?
- 31:40There are billions in inflows from ETFs and treasury
- 31:43companies, and the supply of newly mined Bitcoin is miniscule
- 31:47compared to these flows. What gives?
- 31:501 answer is that there's a lot of paper Bitcoin flowing around
- 31:53suppressing the price. I do not agree with this theory.
- 31:56The simple truth is 100K was a magic number for a lot of long
- 32:01time hodlers who happened to hold a huge fraction of the
- 32:04total liquid supply of Bitcoin. The selling from these whales is
- 32:09easily enough to match the demand from ETFs and Sailor and
- 32:13could for some time. This is not something to be
- 32:15concerned about, but something to celebrate.
- 32:18The process of monetization involves the distribution of a
- 32:23new monetary good among the population.
- 32:26This cannot happen without whales letting go of their long
- 32:30held coins. Eventually whales will state
- 32:33their demand to diversify and the price will begin moving on,
- 32:36moving again, and hit the magic number of some other group of
- 32:40long term holders. Along the way.
- 32:43There will be air pockets both up and down as it becomes clear
- 32:47for example, that there are very few whales interested in selling
- 32:51between 100 and 120 and 150 K. Do not fret about the sideways
- 32:56grind. Just know that under the hood,
- 32:59the process of monetization of Bitcoin continues unabated.
- 33:02He posted this June 6th of 2025. Now what I will say too is after
- 33:08having a conversation with a good friend of mine who happens
- 33:12to be he has a very high up position in one of the Bitcoin
- 33:16on ramps. I was like, I was, I was like
- 33:18kind of joking with him. I was like, dude, like, what's
- 33:20going on this paper Bitcoin? And he gave me the same theory
- 33:23basically about whales, you know, kind of selling.
- 33:26And then that gave me the idea of asking YouTube, like
- 33:31releasing a poll on YouTube, basically asking you guys, at
- 33:35what price would you sell your Bitcoin?
- 33:38It was fascinating. So I put 150 Ki put 250 Ki, put
- 33:43500 Ki put a million. The vast majority of people that
- 33:47voted in that poll. But I would consider selling
- 33:50some of my Bitcoin at $1,000,000 per coin.
- 33:53And I found that really interesting.
- 33:54Now, the reason I'm bringing this up is I want you guys to
- 33:57connect the dots. This is what VJ is saying.
- 34:01Imagine the people that bought at $100 per coin and you're
- 34:06selling at 100,000. You're, you're on, you're on
- 34:09cloud 9 right now, right? You're, you're very, very happy
- 34:12with what Bitcoin's done for you.
- 34:14And you want to upgrade your lifestyle a little bit, right?
- 34:17So you sell not your entire stack, but you sell ten, 2030%
- 34:21of your stack. But remember, these are people
- 34:23that have thousands of coins because they were buying it at
- 34:26$100 at A at $50 at a dollar, right?
- 34:30So yes, this is what we're getting.
- 34:32We're getting a distribution. Anyways, if you guys are
- 34:34enjoying today's show, make sure to smash that like button.
- 34:38We have 2000 people watching live between YouTube and X and

- 34:52We're going to be talking about, you know, the hash rate
- 34:56coincidentally dropping when some other things were being
- 35:00dropped. So we're going to be talking
- 35:03about that. Then during the news segment,
- 35:06Anthony Pompliano has raised $750 million to launch another
- 35:13Bitcoin treasury company. That seems to be the like the
- 35:17play this cycle, right? And Michael Saylor has continued
- 35:21to stack more corn. He's bought about where is it
- 35:25here, can't see it, 245 Bitcoin for $26 million.
- 35:33I think this is one of his smallest buys.
- 35:35It's quite interesting. And then, of course, we have our
- 35:37very special guest today. We're going to be talking to Stu
- 35:42about SAT's chats, the podcast, these guys coming into the
- 35:47scene, and we're going to be talking about their show, what
- 35:51they do what what, what makes them unique, what makes them
- 35:54special. But before we jump into all
- 35:57that, simply Bitcoin does have to give a shout out to its
- 36:00partners because without our partners, we would not be on air

- 37:53Are your seed words really secure?
- 37:56Stamp Seeds Do it yourself kit has everything you'll need to
- 38:00hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
- 38:05instead of writing them down on paper.
- 38:08Don't do that. Paper sucks.
- 38:10You want to literally stamp your seed into this plate of
- 38:14titanium. Your words are actually stamped
- 38:17into the metal plate with this hammer.
- 38:19So once your words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
- 38:23No risk of the plate breaking apart and your pieces falling
- 38:27everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will

- 38:37most importantly, because this is generational wealth time
- 38:41proof, all things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your
- 38:47Bitcoin for the long haul. I mean, here is the plate that
- 38:51they crushed, they put in water, they put a blowtorch to it.

- 39:14All right, everybody, we are back.
- 39:15At the time of recording, the Bitcoin price is $101,440 block
- 39:21height 902,439. That's per dollar 985 market
- 39:26cap, 2.02 trillion Bitcoin versus gold market cap, 8.43%
- 39:31decline from all time high. If you're buying Bitcoin right
- 39:33now, you're getting it at a 9.4% discount.
- 39:36And the realized the realized monetary inflation rate.
- 39:38My favorite stat out of all of this is .84%.
- 39:43Continuing to take Fiat currencies to absolute school.
- 39:46We're going to go down a little bit of a rabbit hole right now.
- 39:48Bear with us. By the way, smash that like
- 39:51button. Help us get 100 likes within the
- 39:541st 45 minutes of the show. So smash that like button if you
- 39:56guys are enjoying it. And I do want to give a shout
- 39:59out to the live stream about to break 2000 live viewers.
- 40:04And of course, the rumble stream coming in hot.
- 40:07So smash that like button if you guys are enjoying simply Bitcoin
- 40:09live. But I do want to go down this
- 40:11rabbit hole. I find it quite interesting and
- 40:14I think this shit will happen in the future.
- 40:16Excuse my language. So here's Max Kaiser and he
- 40:19says, what if the US was using I can't say that word.
- 40:25I'm gonna I'm gonna have to replace that word.
- 40:29Boom boom. The big boom boom.
- 40:30What if the US was using the boom booms weapons story as a
- 40:36cover to hit a specific Middle East, Middle Eastern countries
- 40:41BTC mining facilities, right. So that's a that's a bit of a
- 40:45rabbit hole, ladies and gentlemen, Of course, if you
- 40:47haven't been living under a rock, there's a bit of a
- 40:49situation in the Middle East where, you know, once again is a
- 40:57boom booms are being dropped on the Middle East for, you know,
- 41:01just reasons reasons. And I I got to say personally,
- 41:05you know, I mean, Matt Crater covered this.
- 41:08I'm personally extremely disappointed.
- 41:10We were promised the golden age. We were promised the number go
- 41:13up. We were specifically promised no
- 41:15more boom booms in the Middle East and boom booms in the
- 41:18Middle East have been happening. And that's a Boo Boo.
- 41:21Anyways, so Max Kaiser kind of found this out and he pointed to
- 41:27the hash rate. There was a bit of a hash rate
- 41:30drop while this whole thing happened, right?
- 41:36And then I followed up with this this morning, got a little, I
- 41:39got a lot of people heated too. I said Trump did say he wanted
- 41:43all the mining to be in the US. Is it a coincidence that the
- 41:47hash rate dropped while the B twos boom boomed the Middle
- 41:52East? Is it a coincidence?
- 41:54And a lot of people got pissed off.
- 41:56A lot of people were dropping memes, but there was one there
- 42:01was one post man and it shows up on my where is this dude?
- 42:08Is it? Is it this?
- 42:10Boom boom, let. Me see no dude, it doesn't.
- 42:13Why does it? Why does it show on my look at
- 42:19that. Oh some he deleted it.
- 42:22He deleted it. Oh my.
- 42:23Oh no, he didn't. Oh no, he didn't.
- 42:25OK, he boom boomed it. OK, but it boom, boomed it.
- 42:28I liked it. I liked the tweet so I could see
- 42:31it. That's so weird.
- 42:33No, it's on my personal. All right.
- 42:35Well, yeah, I mean, it is kind of weird.
- 42:38Just read the tweet from your phone.
- 42:39OK, so Brennan Smithson said dogs what?
- 42:45That that's his actual handle. That's his actual handle.
- 42:50He says what if the bombing had nothing to do with the boom boom
- 42:56program and was all about cutting it off from the Bitcoin
- 42:59network? Sorry, the tin foil is getting a
- 43:02little tight. And then he post a picture of
- 43:06the war in Iraq of a soldier essentially just standing with
- 43:11all the gold bars, 'cause that's what a lot of people forget,
- 43:15right? When they went to Iraq, all that
- 43:17gold that belonged to the previous government was just
- 43:21straight up seized. In fact, they made a movie like
- 43:24they made a movie about it where they kind of, they showed this a
- 43:26little bit. You guys remember the movie War
- 43:28Dogs? It was it was a pretty good
- 43:31movie, right. And like the way they pay them
- 43:36for like, you know, them like basic like bringing in arms and
- 43:39stuff was just like there was just piles of cash everywhere.
- 43:43And that actually belonged to to the previous government.
- 43:45So I mean, I think Kaiser coined the term, right, global hash
- 43:51war, right? Like that was one of the things
- 43:53he said like, Oh my God, there's this global hash war.
- 43:55What if there's a kinetic part of that global hash war?
- 43:59And you know what, this might be a little bit of a joke.
- 44:02And this might little, it might be a little bit of a stretch on
- 44:05this example, but I guarantee you, just like we predicted the
- 44:11Sailor thing, we predicted the Sailor thing so accurately, the
- 44:14moment Sailor dropped that, that $13 million prediction, I looked
- 44:20Opti dead in the eye. We're doing, we're still like
- 44:23we're still, we were still doing it remotely.
- 44:25And I said, Opti, he's going to have to raise this price target.
- 44:29And that's exactly what happened, right?
- 44:31So I'm saying this right now, there will be a future where the
- 44:37powers that be will use their boom booms to go after Bitcoin
- 44:41mining facilities. It's just game theory.
- 44:44It's just game theory playing out now.
- 44:47Is it a coincidence that the hash rate dropped the moment
- 44:51that those boom booms dropped? Is that a is that a coincidence?
- 44:55And, and again, it's where were these boom booms dropped?
- 44:57These boom booms were dropped at like energy facilities, right?
- 45:01So like, what else are they doing with that extra energy?
- 45:05I mean, I'm just saying, maybe I'm Craig, call me crazy.
- 45:09Call me crazy bro, but I don't know.
- 45:12I don't know Opti. What do you think?
- 45:14I think you guys are tripping. I do.
- 45:17I do love a good conspiracy theory and the coincidence of
- 45:20the hash rate dropping at that exact time is very interesting
- 45:24to say the least. But what's that?
- 45:26What's that one, you know, trust of science, saying it's like all
- 45:30correlations are not causations or causation does not equal
- 45:33correlations. I don't know.
- 45:35I mean, I like the theory, you know, I, you know, he did.
- 45:40Say he wanted all the Bitcoin mined in the US.
- 45:42This is true. Look, I am not a trust the plan
- 45:455D chess guy, but I don't think that's the 5D chess being played
- 45:49right now. So, you know, that's my take
- 45:52though. What's the Jason Lowry in the
- 45:54chat? Super excited.
- 45:56Hash wars are going on. We're talking about it.
- 45:59I'm going to rub it in your face the moment one day the country
- 46:04uses a boom, boom. Look, I'm not saying in the
- 46:07future take out a money. Listen, I am not saying in the
- 46:10future that this isn't a possibility.
- 46:12It's definitely I think something that's on the table
- 46:15that will happen. I just don't think that that's
- 46:17what. Happens bullish in the chat. 5X
- 46:19from from here. Easy by end of year.
- 46:21Dude if that does this, this show is going to go to the moon.
- 46:25So then I can laugh at you about it.
- 46:27Anyways, Stu, what's? It going on.
- 46:29Hang on, hang on. They got boom boom they got they
- 46:33got boom boom powered submarines shooting boom booms at boom boom
- 46:36reactors and Nikko is going to rub the boom boom in your face.
- 46:40What's going on here man? I do that would be nuts by the
- 46:45way, if we were at the level of attacking another nation state's
- 46:51mining power dude. That is like that is madness,
- 46:54man. I I personally, I just thought
- 46:57that the the goo Baron Mont, you know, your friendly local nation
- 47:03state was just living war to war so that you wouldn't realize
- 47:07that banks are living bailout to bailout so that we all live
- 47:11paycheck to paycheck. I just thought they were just
- 47:13making it up for us so that we wouldn't be like, oh, hamburger
- 47:16and fries, $17.00 when and you know, when my uncle was a kid,
- 47:19it was $0.60. But dude, if they're going after
- 47:22some, you know, if they're throwing some boom booms after
- 47:24some miners, Whoa, dude, that's crazy time, man.
- 47:28Now here's what I'm saying, Nico, if I were your friendly
- 47:32local nation state, I wouldn't try to boom, boom another
- 47:36country's minors. I would try to compromise all of
- 47:41their devices. And then use like 10 to 15% of
- 47:46the computing power of every device.
- 47:48I compromise to just mine Bitcoin for my country, man.
- 47:52So I wouldn't try to, I wouldn't try to blow anything up.
- 47:54I would try to compromise it and judo flip it over to myself.
- 47:58Dude, bit Maine's been doing that from the beginning.
- 48:04Yo, you heard it here first dude.
- 48:06Bit main. Oh my goodness.
- 48:09Dude, if you ever turn on a miner for the for the first,
- 48:12like, you know, to set it up like it does have a default kind
- 48:17of mining address, right? And imagine where all that hash
- 48:22rate is going. That's number one.
- 48:24And #2 the default, the default firmware on some of these miners
- 48:30like this has been confirmed. Like, this isn't a theory
- 48:32anymore. This isn't some conspiracy
- 48:35theory anymore. So I just will say like, yeah, I
- 48:40mean, they they've played those games before.
- 48:43But I do find it quite like in all seriousness, I find it quite
- 48:47interesting. And it's completely plausible
- 48:52that the hash rate dropped when that thing dropped.
- 48:55Now on X, everyone saying it's debunked and, you know, it's
- 48:59just because of power curtailment and and all this and
- 49:03that and, you know, and like, yeah, you're crazy.
- 49:06No, it has nothing to do with this and this and that.
- 49:09Like, I hear you Bros. But like simultaneously, a lot
- 49:12of you guys have just been flat out wrong for a lot of these
- 49:16things. And here it's simply Bitcoin.
- 49:19We've been more accurate than we've been wrong.
- 49:21Like we are tomorrow. We are.
- 49:23So we are bitcoins. The what is it?
- 49:25Oh man, I'm forgetting it bro. Tomorrow's Bitcoin news today.
- 49:29We are tomorrow's Bitcoin news today.
- 49:30Like we get things right a lot. Most we get more things right
- 49:34than we get things wrong. And I'm I'm calling it
- 49:37eventually there is gonna be an attack on a mining facility.
- 49:40Not like, you know, like, not like, you know, some type of
- 49:45illegal attack or whatever. But I'm just, I'm just calling
- 49:48it like the incentives are there 'cause like, think about it
- 49:50like, you know, this nation state, like Trump's basically
- 49:53saying, I want all the Bitcoin mining to be in the United
- 49:55States, right? Then he uses the boom boom
- 49:57planes to like boom something and then the hash rate drops
- 50:00like a a percent like and then like I, I I don't have anything
- 50:05else to say. They're.
- 50:07Just connect the dots. Connect the dots.
- 50:10Tomorrow's boom booms today. Now as a daily watcher of Simply
- 50:14Bitcoin, I will say this for Nico for all all all my nights
- 50:17of Opti in the chat. Nico follows the news and like
- 50:22nation state politics and different so closely that at
- 50:29least since I've been listening to simply Bitcoin, Nico has been
- 50:33scarily accurate a number of times.
- 50:35You know, I mean, the only time he made a a a wrong choice was
- 50:40when he silenced my boy Opti live on YouTube and we were all
- 50:44there for Opti gate. And I'm trying to tell you man,
- 50:47dude, my heart almost burst from how like fast I was like, don't
- 50:51you be talking about my Opti spring.
- 50:54You know, I was dude, I almost went boom boom in the chat when
- 50:58that happened. Dude, I, I was trying to be
- 51:01like, to be fair, it's because, you know, like, I mean, you said
- 51:05it, Optia, a lot of people have a certain type of of syndrome,
- 51:09you know, when you mention certain types of people, right.
- 51:13So I was trying to be inclusive in the messaging.
- 51:15But then when they put our boys, the Tornado Cash developers, in
- 51:19a box and, you know, when we had the opportunity to free Ross,
- 51:24you know, as a company, we just said, hey, you know what, Like
- 51:28we got to get behind our boy. Like we got to speak up.
- 51:31We got to say something. We got to speak up.
- 51:33We got to make our voice heard and, you know, endorse the man
- 51:38who's dropping boom booms in the Middle East and said he wasn't.
- 51:41I don't know about that. Anyways, hey.

- 55:47Anthony Pompiano Pro Cap to go public in $1 billion Bitcoin
- 55:54Treasury SPAC deal. Here are some of the details.
- 55:57Anthony Pompiano is taking his Bitcoin native financial
- 56:00platform Pro Cap BTC public through a $1 billion merger with
- 56:05Columbus Circle Capital Corp, ACCCMA special purpose
- 56:11acquisition company sponsored by affiliate of Cohen and Company.
- 56:15The transition announced Monday Monday positions the new entity,
- 56:20Procrap Financial Inc, as one of the largest Bitcoin treasury
- 56:23companies ever to hit public market markets and what's being
- 56:28called the largest initiative, initial fundraise, fundraise for
- 56:32a public Bitcoin treasury company.
- 56:34Today, Procrap raised 550 million in preferred equity and
- 56:38secured 225 million in convertible notes, giving future
- 56:43shareholders immediate exposure to Bitcoin through a structure
- 56:46designed to acquire BTC ahead of the deals closed.
- 56:51Led by Pompliano, a well known investor and vocal Bitcoin
- 56:54advocate, Procap aims to operate at the intersection of digital
- 56:58assets and traditional finance. The company plans to generate
- 57:02profit not just by holding BTC, but by actively deploying its
- 57:07Bitcoin balance sheet across yield generating strategies that
- 57:11mitigate risk and capitalize on crypto financial infrastructure.
- 57:16Quote The legacy financial system is being disrupted by
- 57:19Bitcoin, Pompliano said in a statement.
- 57:21Procrap Financial represents our solution to the increasing
- 57:25demand for Bitcoin native financial services among
- 57:28sophisticated investors. The merger values the combined
- 57:32entity of at up to $1 billion, depending on the final Bitcoin
- 57:37purchase price at closing. Pro caps BTC assets will be
- 57:41custodied until the transaction completes, giving investors near
- 57:46instant BTC exposure without waiting for the company to go
- 57:49public. The transaction is expected to
- 57:52close before the end of 2025, pending SEC review and
- 57:56shareholder approval. Here's a quick clip of no, I
- 58:00don't have it. I do have it actually, it's
- 58:01right here. Here is Anthony Pompliano on
- 58:04Squawk Box this morning talking about the transaction itself.
- 58:09Well, it says here bitcoins rebounding, I guess maybe based
- 58:12on whatever close, it did drop below 99, a $1000 mark that was
- 58:16yesterday joining us now it doesn't feel like it's up to
- 58:19$1000. Anthony Pompliano, founder and
- 58:22CEO of Professional Capital Management.
- 58:24It kind of slowly just has been selling off for about 3 weeks I
- 58:31think. And last week it got worse,
- 58:32broke under 105 all the way down to 99.
- 58:36Your, I mean, I know what you're going to say when, when there's
- 58:41things like this going on, people sell what they're able to
- 58:44sell and it's pretty, it's pretty liquid.
- 58:46Yeah. Look, I think that over the
- 58:47weekend, we've now seen throughout this year, multiple
- 58:49geopolitical events have transpired on Saturday or
- 58:51Sunday. The traditional markets are
- 58:53closed. Bitcoin is 24/7 global and
- 58:56liquid. And so people do sell what they
- 58:58want to sell. Now we see that stocks are down
- 59:00this morning and I think that many assets will get sold when
- 59:02people are able to sell those as well.
- 59:04But also, I think that a core function of Bitcoin, it's not
- 59:08only the accessibility, but it is the volatility.
- 59:10And what you're seeing here is that people are reacting whether
- 59:12it's positive or negative. Bitcoin just moves more.
- 59:15And ultimately, if you look over the last 90 days, bitcoins up
- 59:1715% and it's up over 50% in the last year.
- 59:20So I think Bitcoin investors are very happy that they're
- 59:22continuing to see volatility. I just think that the the
- 59:26overriding theme of the past two months, though, has been cool
- 59:30inflation and more dovish comments coming at least from
- 59:35some members of the Fed. That's, that's what Bitcoin
- 59:38wants, isn't it? I mean, a rate cut, rate cuts,
- 59:41QE, anything that that increases the number of dollars out there.
- 59:47The big beautiful bill is going to add how much?
- 59:50I mean, all these things seem like they're, they're playing
- 59:52right into bitcoins wheelhouse. It's up to it was up to 110,000
- 59:58from where it was at. 17 what, two years ago?
- 1:00:0217,000 wasn't that long ago, so it's come a long way, but it is
- 1:00:06and and you can't look at it the way I'm looking at it if.
- 1:00:08If you think about that volatility, Bitcoin was down,
- 1:00:11you know, 7576 thousand dollars just a few weeks ago.
- 1:00:14We're back up over $100,000. And so again, it's the
- 1:00:16volatility of Bitcoin is what is attractive to a very large
- 1:00:20audience of those holders. But also I think that the large
- 1:00:24pools of capital now realize that it is big enough for them
- 1:00:26to allocate to. And that's where you're really
- 1:00:28seeing kind of this adoption both on Wall Street and at the
- 1:00:31nation state level. And I think that's only going to
- 1:00:33continue. So I think that last part is the
- 1:00:36part that I want to focus on, which is these big pools of
- 1:00:40capital are now interested in Bitcoin.
- 1:00:43So again from a nation state level, from an institutional
- 1:00:47level. But as I was saying in the
- 1:00:49beginning of the show, smart money acts a little bit
- 1:00:53differently than retail. They don't want to buy billions
- 1:00:58of dollars of Bitcoin and then move the price up.
- 1:01:02So they do it in a very slow and strategic way.
- 1:01:06And that's exactly what has been happening, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:01:10So make no mistake, tons of Bitcoin are being bought on in
- 1:01:15the background. But if we are to believe VJ,
- 1:01:18right, I don't know how much like I'm on the fence with B JS
- 1:01:22assessment. Like if you're an OG, OK, right,
- 1:01:27And you know, you have 1000 Bitcoin, right?
- 1:01:29It's like $100 million these days.
- 1:01:32And you know, you're like, dude, I've been in this for like a
- 1:01:37decade. Like I just want to buy my, you
- 1:01:39know, buy a house kind of, you know, upgrade my lifestyle a
- 1:01:42little bit. Let me just sell 10.
- 1:01:46Let me just sell 100 Bitcoin or let me just sell, you know, 20
- 1:01:50Bitcoin or 30 Bitcoin, whatever. They still have 1000 Bitcoin
- 1:01:54bro. So like like, you know, who are
- 1:01:57these O GS? Do they have 10s of thousands of
- 1:02:00Bitcoin? Like I mean, you can't have that
- 1:02:02many O GS bro. Like if you just do the math
- 1:02:05real quick, like the math ain't math in is all I'm trying to
- 1:02:09say, right. If there's, there's 19,000,000
- 1:02:12Bitcoin available, right? So, and you divide that, let's
- 1:02:17say by 10,000, right, There's only 2000 people that can have
- 1:02:2410,000 Bitcoin. And that's saying they all only
- 1:02:28whales own it. Right, That's only 2000.
- 1:02:30There's only 2000 people that could own 10,000 Bitcoin, right?
- 1:02:35And then let's let's do the math.
- 1:02:36We can keep doing this math, right?
- 1:02:38So let's say 19,000,000 Bitcoin divided by 1000, which is a lot
- 1:02:43of Bitcoin 19,000. So there's only 19,000 people on
- 1:02:51this planet that could own 1000 Bitcoin.
- 1:02:55So like there's not that many of these whales, right?
- 1:02:59And remember when Lop came on the show, he was like dude, I'm
- 1:03:04in and Lop's a no G And he was like dude like I'm in a lot of
- 1:03:08these Telegram groups and I have no idea who's selling.
- 1:03:11And Adam Back was saying the same thing.
- 1:03:13So I mean, is it paper games? Is it paper games?
- 1:03:17It's really 42,000,000 bitcoins. Sorry guys.
- 1:03:20Is it paper games, bro? That's all I'm saying.
- 1:03:22That's all I'm saying, dude. That's all I'm saying.
- 1:03:25That's all I'm saying. In other news also, I do want to
- 1:03:27cover this Michael Saylor once again.
- 1:03:30We used to make titles on and the shows would pop, but now
- 1:03:34it's just Michael Saylor. Strategy has acquired 245
- 1:03:38Bitcoin for $26 million at 105,000 per coin.
- 1:03:44This common is hilarious. Bro found some pocket change in
- 1:03:48his drawer to buy the Bitcoin dip.
- 1:03:51Oh man, And then the memes. The memes are hilarious.
- 1:03:54I'm taking a different, different route on this it.
- 1:03:56It seems like Sailor's running out of cash 'cause remember his
- 1:03:59old buys he would buy 10s of thousands of coins for, you
- 1:04:02know, billions of dollars Now you know, and it.
- 1:04:07It's hard to say this, but a measly 25 mil only gets you 245
- 1:04:12Bitcoin sailor bro infinite money glitch is seemingly
- 1:04:15running out. What's going on here?
- 1:04:17But. I I think there's just so much
- 1:04:19competitors. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a little
- 1:04:20bit. It's a little bit different.
- 1:04:21It's getting harder, but on on the pop news one, I'm I'm not
- 1:04:27the only one to notice that you were calling it pro crap by
- 1:04:30accident, but that does that is yeah, I didn't mean to say that.
- 1:04:35I. Didn't mean to say that and I.
- 1:04:37Think it was. Pro cap.
- 1:04:39Pro cap, What was I saying? Pro crap.
- 1:04:41You said it twice by by accident.
- 1:04:43That was a Freudian slip there. But you know, for anyone that's
- 1:04:47been around and knows, if you know, you know.
- 1:04:51Get on. More so, that's my thoughts on
- 1:04:53that. Do not.
- 1:04:54Mean to call a? Program I know, I know that's
- 1:04:56why I'm telling you. But there is an interesting
- 1:04:58story here, which is the idea like this is the biggest initial
- 1:05:03Bitcoin treasury, you know, fundraiser that we've seen.
- 1:05:06So I think this is kind of one of those stories where like,
- 1:05:10yeah, you know, this is all the rage right now, but coming up
- 1:05:13strong with a 750 mil raise and already buying Bitcoin are
- 1:05:17already able to get exposure into Bitcoin.
- 1:05:20Like you, you're starting to see that that a lot of these Bitcoin
- 1:05:23treasury companies are kind of iterating and trying to kind of
- 1:05:26differentiate themselves, which is I think one hand, on the one
- 1:05:30hand, a good thing. And then on the other hand, you
- 1:05:33know, who knows how this is all going to end?
- 1:05:35We're just we're just here like watching this crazy stuff happen
- 1:05:39and the FOMO of trying to acquire as much Bitcoin play
- 1:05:42out. Now the real question is like
- 1:05:44we're saying how much Bitcoin or paper Bitcoin is in the system
- 1:05:46because if the price doesn't RIP, there is some shenanigans
- 1:05:50going on. So I I think we'll know by the
- 1:05:53end of the year what's actually going on.
- 1:05:54Anyway, Stu, what's your thoughts?
- 1:05:56Well, you know, First things first.
- 1:05:59Come on in, man. I mean, if, if, if somebody
- 1:06:04buying a billion dollars worth of Bitcoin is a problem for
- 1:06:07Bitcoin, then we got a real problem on our hands, you know
- 1:06:10what I mean? So for me, come on in right like
- 1:06:14I want, I want, I want Bitcoin to be the world's money.
- 1:06:18And if we need suit coiners to smash Bitcoin and drive up that
- 1:06:24exchange rate before they exit out into some other thing
- 1:06:28they're interested in. And meanwhile my bags get pumped
- 1:06:31all the way upward, gone ahead, man, because I'm trying to get
- 1:06:36each individual person on earth stacking sats and using them to,
- 1:06:42to, to save and, and to spend right.
- 1:06:44I I, I just want Bitcoin to be money because that's what it is.
- 1:06:47So dude, going ahead and buy a billion bucks, Michael Saylor
- 1:06:51keeps smashing. Like if I had pools of capital,
- 1:06:54I'd be smashing Bitcoin too, man.
- 1:06:56All I got is like, you know, tiny little sweat droplets that
- 1:06:59I'm pulling off trying to buy some dust with like a, like a
- 1:07:03Fiat debt slave. But if I had all that money, I'd
- 1:07:06do it too, man. So let's let's have at it.
- 1:07:10I just think that they need to get guys like us on CNBC, man,
- 1:07:14because we need to be rolling in there and letting these people
- 1:07:17know what Bitcoin is actually about.
- 1:07:20What is it actually about bro? Break it down.
- 1:07:24Man, dude, I think Bitcoin is about so much.
- 1:07:26We don't even know everything that it's about yet.
- 1:07:28But for me, Bitcoin is a way to provide a future for my family
- 1:07:36at, you know, you know, middle class income levels, right?
- 1:07:42Like it's a way for me to get off the hamster wheel of Fiat
- 1:07:47and, and, and like drive my time and energy into something that's
- 1:07:51going to actually conserve it. For me.
- 1:07:54It's, it's a way to reset what I value in my life.
- 1:07:57It's a way to lower my time preference.
- 1:08:00It's a way to make me a healthier person because I, you
- 1:08:03know, start making better choices.
- 1:08:05I mean, Bitcoin has changed who I am as a person and what I
- 1:08:09value. And if if, you know, a suit
- 1:08:15coiner needs to come in and buy Bitcoin with Fiat because they
- 1:08:21have big dreams of making more Fiat with that, then that's OK.
- 1:08:26You know, some people, especially when we were at the
- 1:08:29show in Vegas, I saw a lot of guys where you can see in their
- 1:08:32eyes, they saw Bitcoin as a vehicle for more political
- 1:08:37power. And for me, Bitcoin and holding
- 1:08:41Bitcoin in self custody is power.
- 1:08:44That act that that is power. You know, it's like when Harry
- 1:08:48Potter is with Professor Quarrel out in front of the Mirror of S,
- 1:08:51Iris said. You know what I mean?
- 1:08:53Quiro wants to use the Sorcerer's Stone for something
- 1:08:55so he can't get it out of the mirror.
- 1:08:57Harry just wants to have the stone to keep it safe.
- 1:08:59Dude, it pops right out. I'm trying to be like Harry
- 1:09:01Potter over here, Nico I. Am the.
- 1:09:06Way I meant to hit the. Horns.
- 1:09:07I meant to hit the horns. This is what I was.
- 1:09:09This is what I was trying to help you with bro.
- 1:09:11OK. Get to the next segment.
- 1:09:15Anyways guys this would be a great show 2257 of you guys
- 1:09:20watching live. Stu dropping Harry Potter
- 1:09:23references coming in hot. Nerd.
- 1:09:25Yeah, I got the I got the magic stick.
- 1:09:28Come on y'all. But we're gonna we're gonna be
- 1:09:31talking about Stu's show during the culture segment.
- 1:09:35They coming in hot. They give Sats away during their
- 1:09:39show and you guys are going to want to stick around for that.
- 1:09:42So anyways, we'll be right back in just a second.
- 1:09:45We're going to hit the culture. I want to give a shout out to
- 1:09:49our partner Hive Digital Technology.
- 1:09:51Why Hive in 2025, unstoppable growth as the first ever public
- 1:09:57miner. Hive's position to quadruple
- 1:10:00their global footprint, making them one of the world's fastest

- 1:10:17rewriting the playbook on sustainable Bitcoin mining.
- 1:10:20You can catch the latest buzz at Hive Digital Tech or at Hive
- 1:10:25digitaltech.com. I want to give a shout out to
- 1:10:34our sponsor Casa. Casa makes self custody easy and
- 1:10:38secure. As a bitcoiner I care about
- 1:10:40holding my own private keys, but multi sig can sometimes get
- 1:10:44tricky. Casa nails it with a multi key
- 1:10:47security so even if one key gets lost or stolen, your Bitcoin
- 1:10:51stays safe and you don't give up custody.
- 1:10:54Meaning no one could access your Bitcoin but you.
- 1:10:57No seed phrase anxiety, no singer point of failure.
- 1:11:00I've been telling my friends and family about Casa for years.

- 1:11:57show, he's on the show and he's in the chat and he's he's our
- 1:12:01guest. Go check out the sats chats
- 1:12:04podcast. Stu, there's so many Bitcoin
- 1:12:07podcasts these days, bro what makes?
- 1:12:11SAT wait, wait. No, no, no, no.
- 1:12:13Let's hold off on that one. I wanna hear Stu tell the chat
- 1:12:17how sad chats came to be because it's basically, you know, grew
- 1:12:23out of the simply Bitcoin ethos. No, it's not a fork.
- 1:12:27We inspired him. So still, you were telling me
- 1:12:29this before the show. Let's let's start with that for
- 1:12:32the audience And and it's really, you know, proof of work
- 1:12:34and like, if if not you, then who?
- 1:12:36So send. It awesome.
- 1:12:37So first of all, big ups to simply Bitcoin and everyone in
- 1:12:41the chat that's in here every day, like simply bitcoins chat
- 1:12:45on YouTube is like just dedicated bitcoiners that are
- 1:12:50coming together to hang out and and you all were there for me
- 1:12:54basically around February or so of last year, right.
- 1:12:58So January of last year is when I saw a headline that Bitcoin
- 1:13:03ETFs had been approved. I'm like, dude, Bitcoin's still
- 1:13:06around and then my next question is like what is what is an ETF?
- 1:13:10And that sent me down a rabbit hole to where I realized that I
- 1:13:15had been living in this world my whole life, working for
- 1:13:20something that I had never thought about once.
- 1:13:22I hadn't ever thought about money one time.
- 1:13:25I just felt I could out earn my stupidity infinitely by getting,
- 1:13:29you know, bigger and better salaries.
- 1:13:31Well, I found Bitcoin, I found Bitcoin books, I found Bitcoin
- 1:13:36podcasts and and I listen to every single one of them.
- 1:13:39But the one that I liked the most was simply Bitcoin because
- 1:13:42it was a live show every day. Everybody was hanging out in the
- 1:13:46chat. My favorite thing to do was say
- 1:13:48dumb stuff about how much I loved Opti and see if he would
- 1:13:51laugh and put it on screen for me.
- 1:13:55And then I eventually started this whole Lord Opti, Knights of
- 1:13:57Opti stuff. And I was like, I was like, I
- 1:13:59will appear on my Lord Opti show one day.
- 1:14:02So I ended up orange Pilling the CEO of Ithaca Hummus, which is
- 1:14:09like a very successful multi $1,000,000 hummus company.
- 1:14:12You guys should try to go eat some.
- 1:14:14And he was like, man, I, I, you know, this is my Fiat business.
- 1:14:16I want to make a Bitcoin business and I want to make it
- 1:14:19with you. And he had all these ideas and
- 1:14:21I'm like, dude, none of those are better than just buying
- 1:14:24Bitcoin and holding Bitcoin like what else you got?
- 1:14:27And he said, you know what you're really good about.
- 1:14:29You're really good at talking about Bitcoin.
- 1:14:31Let's do like a podcast or a YouTube show.
- 1:14:33So so you know, sat chats was born out of, you know, my daily
- 1:14:39time with simply Bitcoin. I mean, Nico taught me all about
- 1:14:44the six one O 2 order, about nation states, about the
- 1:14:50sovereign individual, about how important Bitcoin was, how
- 1:14:53important self custody was. Opti taught me that it was OK to
- 1:14:57just laugh and have fun and stack sats and just like be
- 1:15:01comfortable with, you know, the time it takes to build real
- 1:15:05generational wealth in Bitcoin and kind of like slowly exit out
- 1:15:08of this Fiat clown world. So January of this year, on
- 1:15:13January 20th, we published our first episode and and Satchats,
- 1:15:19you know, Nico, to answer your question, Satchats is different
- 1:15:24for this reason. OK, so I was consuming, you
- 1:15:28know, a massive number of podcasts and I thought to
- 1:15:31myself, OK, I don't want to cover what simply Bitcoin covers
- 1:15:35because simply Bitcoin already does it better than I could do
- 1:15:38it. So we're not going to worry
- 1:15:39about, you know, the types of like headlines, news, nation,
- 1:15:46state, politics, developments, that kind of stuff, right.
- 1:15:51I also don't want to come at Bitcoin with like the patina of
- 1:15:55a financial person who's like, oh, yes, this asset is a dude.
- 1:15:59No, thank you. And and like, I didn't want to
- 1:16:02be journalistic either because I'm not a journalist.
- 1:16:04I'm just, I'm just a dude. I'm just a dad here in Raleigh,
- 1:16:07NC. That's it.
- 1:16:09So I thought, well, you know what we could do?
- 1:16:12We could focus on helping pre coiners stack their first SAT
- 1:16:19'cause I'm listening to simply Bitcoin every single day.
- 1:16:22And you know, over time it's starting to click for me.
- 1:16:26I'm peeling the layers back. I'm starting to realize that
- 1:16:30Bitcoin is the greatest of all time.
- 1:16:34But everyone I spoke to was just looking at me like I was an
- 1:16:39alien, you know what I mean? Like, my, my son would come
- 1:16:42over, you know, with a $20 bill because, like, he wants to take
- 1:16:46it to the pool party. I'm like, well, son, you know,
- 1:16:49you better put that in a zip lock bag because it's a melting
- 1:16:51ice cube. Yeah.
- 1:16:52I mean, you're going to get all your hands wet touching that
- 1:16:55thing. He's like, Dad, you're the worst
- 1:16:57ever. So I just was looking around
- 1:17:01like, you know, Nico and Opti and, and, and everyone out there
- 1:17:05that's, you know, podcasting and writing books and on Bitcoin
- 1:17:09Twitter, like everybody's doing all this work to try to help
- 1:17:11people understand Bitcoin and they're still not getting it.
- 1:17:14Like what, what's going on? It's almost like this powerful
- 1:17:17Bitcoin signal that you all are pumping out every day on
- 1:17:20YouTube. It's getting to within one mile
- 1:17:23of someone's home and not any further like like an Amazon
- 1:17:26package that's waiting to get handed off to the US Postal
- 1:17:29Service to go the last mile into their mailbox or their front
- 1:17:32porch, right? So I'm like, you know what?
- 1:17:35I'm going to dedicate my life to Bitcoin and to the Lord Opti.
- 1:17:38And when you know, the cyber Middle Ages come about, I will
- 1:17:41be rallying all the Knights to his Bitcoin citadel so that we
- 1:17:45can start a new world order. But for now, it's like, let me
- 1:17:49sit somebody down right here in the studio.
- 1:17:51OK, So I sit here in this studio.
- 1:17:55This studio is right here in Raleigh.
- 1:17:57My my Co host, Chris, who's the CEO and founder of Vincent
- 1:18:00Thomas. He sits right here.
- 1:18:03When you're a guest, you sit right over here and we sit down.
- 1:18:07And if you don't know, if you have no Bitcoin, then we just
- 1:18:10simply ask the question, Hey, man, how much do you know about
- 1:18:12Bitcoin? And they say, oh, it's a fake.
- 1:18:16I think my sister was on the show recently and she's like,
- 1:18:19it's oh, I know that it's fake money coins.
- 1:18:21I'm like, Oh my God. You're embarrassing me.
- 1:18:24I'm like, lid, please, you're killing me.
- 1:18:27So, so then we say, OK, stop, let's talk about that.
- 1:18:29It's fake money coins. Let's talk about that.
- 1:18:31Or they might say, well, I know it's electronic money, but like
- 1:18:34it's running out and you can't buy anymore.
- 1:18:35It's like, stop, let's talk about that.
- 1:18:37You know, or I I know that it's something the CIA created.
- 1:18:41I'm like, bro, OK, stop, let's talk about that.
- 1:18:44And we we talk to them and just we, we chat about sats, right?
- 1:18:47I mean it's in the name SAT chats.
- 1:18:49It's the Bitcoin podcast where we chat about SAT.
- 1:18:51So we take the pre coiner through their own mind and and
- 1:18:56kind of help them realize that the only thing that's stopping
- 1:18:58them from stacking sats is just having a good clean one-on-one
- 1:19:02conversation with someone who can talk to them about Bitcoin.
- 1:19:07And after about 45 some odd minutes, we we actually take a
- 1:19:13brain break because learning about Bitcoin is horde and it
- 1:19:17makes your blood your your blood pressure drop, right?
- 1:19:20The sugars, What do you call it? Your blood sugar drops.
- 1:19:23So we actually we crunch some of this Ithaca hummus.
- 1:19:25We'll get some woven weed out. They get to choose their flavor.
- 1:19:28We crunch on some hummus. We get way down into the
- 1:19:31microphones for some ASMRI actually think that our entire
- 1:19:34audience just likes to hear us crunch woven weed crackers.
- 1:19:38And then we offer them their choice and we actually have it
- 1:19:40right here. Hang on.
- 1:19:44So at the end of the show, we'll say, look, you know, you, you,
- 1:19:47you, you don't have any Bitcoin. You didn't know anything about
- 1:19:49Bitcoin. Now we've talked about it and
- 1:19:51now we're going to give you a choice, right?
- 1:19:53And we offer them this $50.00 bill.
- 1:19:56And then we also, we, you know, we used the Clark Moody
- 1:19:59dashboard for a while because I got that from you guys.
- 1:20:03And then we found UTX Oracle, which is something that Simple
- 1:20:07Steve created and it is absolutely insane.
- 1:20:12So we calculate the price of Bitcoin over here on UTX Oracle
- 1:20:16and we basically say, OK, you know, 50 bucks worth of Bitcoin
- 1:20:19at today's rates is, you know, 47,000 SAT's, 50,000 SAT's,
- 1:20:2452,000 SAT's. And we, we offer them 50
- 1:20:27government tokens, right? 50 naughty little slips of
- 1:20:31nation state paper or, you know, 47,000 SAT's, 50,000 SAT's.
- 1:20:36And since January, we have had 85 guests on the show.
- 1:20:41It said it it it it's every weekday on YouTube. 78 have
- 1:20:47chosen to stack the SAT's 7 still need a little bit more
- 1:20:51time. So we feel like we are kind of
- 1:20:57doing like the Johnny Appleseed Paul Bunyan work of like just
- 1:21:01basically orange Pilling pre coiners by hand one at a time
- 1:21:07and then, you know, videotaping it and publishing it on YouTube.
- 1:21:12We also bring Bitcoiners on, however, and when we have a
- 1:21:16bitcoiner, we basically pull their Bitcoin story out of them.
- 1:21:20Right. So Jameson Lopp has been on your
- 1:21:22show and he's been on a million podcasts and he's often talking
- 1:21:27about what's coming next or what technological items could be,
- 1:21:31you know, added to Bitcoin. On our show.
- 1:21:34He was talking about being a college student going to the
- 1:21:37state Employees Credit Union to wire his first, you know, check
- 1:21:44to Mount Gox years ago. And the bank manager was saying,
- 1:21:48listen, man, this is super risky.
- 1:21:50Are you absolutely sure? And he he had to like work with
- 1:21:53him for two hours just to get them to send the money to Mount
- 1:21:57Gox, right? We had a Bitcoiner on who
- 1:22:01accidentally threw away a laptop with 400 Bitcoin on it, you
- 1:22:06know, and he looks at that and says, yeah, I basically threw
- 1:22:11away $40 million in today's terms.
- 1:22:13But he's been dollar cost averaging for years.
- 1:22:15And he didn't even care. He gave his nephew, he told the
- 1:22:19story of giving his nephew like a Bitcoin when the nephew was
- 1:22:22like 2 years old. And now his parents have come
- 1:22:26to, his name's Adam. He's, they said, Adam, we could
- 1:22:30pay off our house with the Bitcoin you gave to our son.
- 1:22:32Can we have access to it? And he's like, no, you can't
