In this episode, we break down why Bitcoin feels range-bound despite massive macro shifts happening in the background. We explore whether the traditional 4-year cycle is breaking, how Fed policy and liquidity signals are changing the game, and what a potential U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could mean if the government begins accumulating BTC at scale.
The conversation then expands into tariffs, UBI experiments, and how society might transition into an AI-driven future without destabilizing everything in the process. From there, we connect the dots between emerging military AR systems, space-based compute, and why energy, security, and infrastructure are becoming the defining narratives of the next decade.
In the final stretch, we go deep on Bitcoin’s long-term security budget problem, why fees alone may not be enough, and how NAT introduces a sustainable second subsidy for miners without changing Bitcoin’s consensus rules. We also cover miner adoption, hash-power tipping points, and why this could be one of the most important developments in Bitcoin’s history.
We’ve seen some scary lows for the 2019 year of Bitcoin. We discuss what the probability is for Bitcoin to go to $8k. Meanwhile, Binance continues its parade of Launchpad tokens that seem to always pump and we question how much of it is greed versus valuable for the startup? On this journey, we look into as many cryptocurrencies as we can and this time we land on MakerDAO and decentralized loans. Finally, tokenizing real world assets can become then next new phase of blockchain with a spirited debate on the real value of gold.
Emotions play a sneaky role in evaluating cryptocurrency prices and we discuss the causes and effects and how much influence it has on your next move. As a result, we discuss some strategies that will help remove emotions from decision making that can help improve the probability of a better outcome. Does it make sense to try to time the top of a market or should we consider other metrics in decision making. Finally, universal basic income, taxes and other cultural expectations and their relation to the crypto-verse.
This week, we see Bitcoin rise to $10,000 after over a year long bear cycle. We discuss what this could mean for the future price of Bitcoin and how this affects the altcoins. Libra has quickly become a source of debate for many in the crypto community, how much of an impact could Libra make? With Mitch, who’s background is in finance, we discuss how Bitcoin has not gone through a recession. Economists have their own view of the crypto space and we dive in and provide our thoughts. Finally stay tuned to the end of the show where we see how robots can fight back!
We talk to our friend Joe and get how he was introduced to cryptocurrency and what his thoughts are on the whole thing. William and Iman introduce him to the concept of Decentraland and what it could bring to the future of NFT’s (Non Fungible Tokens). Joe brings up his thoughts on Quantum Computing and the effects it could have on cryptography, the foundation of all cryptocurrencies. Finally we introduce Basic Attention Token and how it will improve advertising on the internet.
Our guest returns to discuss more of Decentraland! We get his background on game development and we discuss ideas we could build on land we obtain in Decentraland. Ideas that we could build all revolve on passive income and the ability to execute on them will be critical. The conversation evolved into the philosophy behind Artificial Intelligence and Automation. Last, we touch on the $Libra token and how Facebook could take crypto into new recognition levels.
