Podcast appearances and mentions of michael saylor

Anthony Scaramucci breaks down why Bitcoin may surge despite global turmoil. With war in Iran, rising oil prices, and distrust in fiat currencies, the PBD Podcast panel explores Bitcoin's long-term potential, Michael Saylor's aggressive buying strategy, and the future of crypto in an AI-driven world.

Fear is everywhere. Five red months, extreme fear sentiment, and most traders expect Bitcoin to crash. Meanwhile sovereign wealth funds, institutions, and Michael Saylor are quietly buying billions. With 95 percent of all Bitcoin already mined and governments considering strategic reserves, the supply shock is unfolding in real time.SPONSORS:

Michael Saylor doubles down on Bitcoin, raising hundreds of millions through stock sales to buy more. The panel debates whether Strategy is making a genius asymmetric bet or a historic gamble and whether Bitcoin's future could turn Saylor into one of the richest people alive.

Is Bitcoin's bear market your best buying opportunity? On this episode of the Refining Rhetoric podcast, host Robert Bortins and crypto-savvy co-host Will McCreery break down the 2025 crypto market — covering the Bitcoin halving cycle, why altcoins underperformed, the case for dollar cost averaging, and what to watch for heading into 2026–2029. Bitcoin hit an all-time high near $126,000 in October 2025 — then the cycle turned. In this quarterly update, Robert and his Will break down what went wrong (low liquidity, tariff uncertainty, ETF hype without follow-through), why altcoins largely failed to run, and how geopolitics may be pushing nation states toward gold instead of Bitcoin. They also cover the stalled Clarity Act, Michael Saylor's continued conviction, and the case for dollar cost averaging through the bear market. What You'll Learn: - The Bitcoin halving cycle explained, and what it means for 2026–2029 - Why altcoins severely underperformed and whether they're worth buying now - How ETFs, liquidity, and tariff uncertainty shaped the current market - The Clarity Act: where U.S. crypto regulation stands and why 70% of institutions are still on the sidelines - Dollar cost averaging strategies: how to buy Bitcoin with as little as $10 - Robert's 2029 Bitcoin price prediction (and the reasoning behind it) - Catalysts to watch: interest rates, stock market tokenization, and gold/silver rotation 00:00 — Introduction 00:29 — Welcome & Why We Talk Crypto Every Quarter 01:22 — Where Bitcoin Stands Today (Price Check: Feb 10) 02:07 — The Bitcoin Halving Cycle Explained 03:29 — What Happened to the Altcoins? 04:21 — ETFs, Liquidity & Why the Cycle Disappointed 05:41 — Are Nation States Moving to Gold Instead of Bitcoin? 06:36 — Trump, Tariffs & Crypto Sentiment 09:00 — The Case for Dollar Cost Averaging 13:00 — How to Think About Risk & Portfolio Allocation 18:06 — Buying Strategy: Satoshis, Small Buys & Timing 19:26 — Price Predictions: Where Bitcoin Could Go in 2029 22:43 — Michael Saylor & MicroStrategy — Still Solvent? 24:31 — Catalysts to Watch: Clarity Act, Stock Market Tokenization & Interest Rates 25:30 — Gold & Silver Rotation into Crypto — Historical Patterns 26:21 — Final Thoughts & Robert's 2029 Price Call 27:07 — Wrap-Up & Closing Thoughts This is not financial advice.

Bitcoin just dropped after Trump raised global tariffs to 15 percent, and panic is everywhere. The Fear and Greed Index just printed its lowest reading in history while whales quietly accumulated billions. Michael Saylor completed his 100th consecutive Bitcoin purchase as perma bears scream $50K. Is this the end of the bull cycle, or the setup for the next explosive move?SPONSORS:✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Anita von Bitcoin for Fairness über die Rolle von Bitcoin in Afrika. Dominiert dort der Preis – oder steht der konkrete Nutzen im Vordergrund? Wir diskutieren, an welche praktischen Grenzen Bitcoin im Alltag stößt und wie er helfen kann, finanzielle Selbstbestimmung und Menschenrechte zu stärken. Außerdem geht es um die Frage, ob sich Staaten aktiv für Bitcoin aussprechen sollten – und wie der Fokus wieder stärker auf die Funktionen statt nur auf den Preis gelenkt werden kann.

Gerald Peters interviews Michael Saylor about the current crypto winter, MicroStrategy's large Bitcoin position, and why the company's equity-funded strategy and strong balance sheet make short-term price swings manageable. They also explain STRC, MicroStrategy's over-collateralized digital credit instrument that pays an 11% dividend, discuss macro factors like Fed policy, and outline three core drivers that could propel Bitcoin long term.

The global credit market is worth $300 trillion and Michael Saylor believes digital credit will capture a massive share of it. In this keynote from Strategy World 2026, Saylor walks through the complete theory of digital credit from first principles: what Bitcoin is, why variable preferred equity is the longest-duration capital structure short of equity, and how STRC delivers double-digit yields with deferred tax treatment and principal protection. He also lays out the programmable future of digital money and digital yield, with ETFs, on-chain tokens, and bank accounts all being built on top of STRC as a foundation.

¿Es posible que tener dinero en el banco sea más arriesgado que tener Bitcoin? En este episodio exploramos el auge de las "tesoreras de Bitcoin", un modelo de negocio que está transformando la gestión de capital institucional. Nos acompañan Luis Gelado y Carlos Sánchez de Vivar, fundadores de Standard 21, la primera tesorera Bitcoin nativa en España.

Peak fear. Record global uncertainty. Bitcoin below its prior high and the crowd is calling it over. Michael Saylor says this is one of the biggest opportunities in Bitcoin history. From sovereign debt stress to money printing and ETF flows, the setup is explosive. If you understand liquidity cycles, you understand why this moment matters.SPONSORS:

Bitcoin just fell below $65K and $230 million in longs were wiped in an hour. Bears are calling for $35K while Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy keep stacking through a $12 billion drawdown. With global chaos rising and nearly half of holders underwater, this could be max pain or the best Bitcoin opportunity of the decade.

This podcast explores the 2026 "Deep Freeze" of the crypto market, analyzing why the "digital gold" thesis has failed to protect investors as Bitcoin lags behind the S&P 500 total returns. We dive into the "Victory Paradox"—the irony that Bitcoin's institutional acceptance through Wall Street ETFs and a "crypto-friendly" presidency has tethered it to traditional financial risks, destroying its status as an uncorrelated asset. From the $12 billion losses at Michael Saylor's Strategy Inc. and the liquidity crisis at institutional prime broker BlockFills to the Great AI Pivot in the mining industry, we break down the structural traps currently paralyzing the ecosystem. Featuring insights on "Financial Nihilism" from Demetri Kofinas, the "Juggalo Theory" of crypto subcultures from Zeke Faux, and the massive migration toward prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, we ask the ultimate forward-looking question: now that Bitcoin is fully financialized, will it ever be an independent asset again?Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3eerLA0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derivatives For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corporate Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

Silver just crashed 41% in a single day while Bitcoin barely flinched — so what does that tell us about where the smart money is really going? In this episode, British Hodl breaks down why $340,000 Bitcoin this cycle is actually conservative, how $10 trillion in bank liquidity is about to flood the markets, why 94% of BlackRock's iBit holders didn't sell through the crash, and what the gold and silver collapse signals about the end of this business cycle. We also dive into why Michael Saylor and BlackRock are now doing the marketing for all of us, how the new Fed chair was basically hired to print, why retail keeps selling Bitcoin at the price they deserve, and what the Trump administration defending Bitcoin really means.

An extra piece for you this week. I had planned to follow up on Dr John's timely piece on oil and gas today, but it will have to wait.We need to talk about bitcoin.Since peaking at $126,000 in early October, the bitcoin price has been in freefall, and the declines have accelerated this year. Earlier in the week, it touched $60,000 - declines of over 50% from peak to trough. Today it sits at $67,000.Call it what it is. It's a bear market.Here's a 2-year chart so you can see the price action. All the gains of 2025 have been given back and we are back at 2024 levels.Bitcoin has become a software proxyMy first observation is that bitcoin's decline since October has coincided exactly with a brutal selloff in software stocks, even as hard assets - gold, silver, and other metals - have caught one heck of a bid.Just a few years ago, hard assets had no value, it seemed. Forget land, mining, the real economy. It was all about digital, software, IP, trademarks. How things have changed.This chart appeared in a WhatsApp group and I don't know who made it to give credit, but the story is clear: Bitcoin has become a software proxy and vice versa.The correlation is striking. As concerns around AI have hammered software more generally, bitcoin has followed. Hardware plays within tech have held up Maybe they're next to be hit. That remains to be seen.When the mainstream media calls the bottom - the next wave of bitcoin obituariesThe Financial Times, wrong about bitcoin since 2009, came out with its latest stupidity this week claiming that bitcoin is $69,000 overvalued. Yesterday the Daily Mail joined the Retard Gang in telling us bitcoin will go to zero.Remember: just as media frenzy often indicates the peak of a market, so does a media scrum at the bottom. All we need is a high-profile article from the Economist and the lows will be in.I get that some people don't like bitcoin, and bitcoiners can be obnoxiously vocal when the price is rising, but nocoiners can be just as bad. The amount of people trolling me about bitcoin - cc-ing me into tweets telling me how badly it's doing, slagging off Michael Saylor, sharing “going to zero” articles - has risen sharply.The more evolved and widespread these narratives, the more people repeating them, the closer we are to an end.On which note, here is a longer-term weekly chart of bitcoin. That weekly RSI is close to all-time lows. Doesn't mean this is the end. But you get these kinds of sentiment extremes at the end of cycles, not at the beginning. Join this elite readership.Where we go from hereThis is a bear market. Crypto winter is upon us once again. The trend is down.But the trend will end. It always does.Looking at the above charts, there's a lot of price memory in the $50-70,000 range. Bitcoin spent much of 2021 and 2024 here. I expect $50,000 - or just below - to hold. I give that a more than 50% probability.But it's bitcoin. So anything is possible. A typical bitcoin monster correction would see us go all the way back to the 2022 lows at ~$15,000. I don't see that as likely - especially as the preceding bull market wasn't that mammoth - maybe 10% probability.It's also possible the lows are already in, but my gut tells me this bear market has a bit longer to play out. It's not a short sharp correction like we saw in the spring of last year around the Tariff Tantrum ™, but more of a grinder. Corrections happen in price and time, and I feel this one has a few more twists to it, especially as markets generally are not quite as easy as they were a couple of months ago.My outlook at the beginning of this year was that the S&P 500 would follow the typical trajectory of the second year of a US presidency - and that points to a rocky second and third quarter with a strong final quarter. That has implications for liquidity and sentiment more generally. Bitcoin is the same technological genius creation it always was. It hasn't changed. Only perception has changed, as it always does.It has been repeatedly demonstrated that bitcoin is a volatile asset that goes to the extremities of both pessimism and optimism, that it is cyclical and that it crucifies hubris. Those cheering the bear market clearly haven't learned.Instead of celebrating, I urge the skeptical to take advantage of this bear market and use it to learn.On which note, if you're new to bitcoin, my 2014 book Bitcoin: the Future of Money? is a good place to start.Bitcoin isn't dead. It's just going through a bear market. They happen.What's the story that takes bitcoin higher, then?Remember: narrative follows price.When the price starts rising, all sorts of reasons will get attached and the story will form. Just as now with the price falling, all sorts of bearish narratives have emerged. Quantum Computing is going to end it. Jeffrey Epstein hijacked it. The core devs have fallen out. Strategy (NASDAQ.MSTR) is going bust. Whatever.It doesn't matter what the story is. That will come. Price leads.Quantum BSWhen you go to a bitcoin conference, one thing that's notable is just how intelligent, educated, informed and ambitious the participants are. There is not the proliferation of midwits that you might find on, for example, the FT payroll. The bitcoin community is super bright.Do you think those involved haven't thought about and prepared for Quantum computing and the threats it may or may not present? Of course they have.Is bitcoin more likely to be ready to deal with the quantum computing threat than say SWIFT, the BBC, the NHS, or some bank? And which is likely to cope with it better - a sector crammed full of genius computer scientists with their own capital at stake, or some institution run by a government?If you actually had a computer capable of taking down bitcoin, there are much easier, more satisfying things to take out, such as the House of Commons email server.Way more important than the actual threat of quantum computing is the perception of what that threat is, even if that perception is bogus. But, as I say, perceptions change, just as bull and bear market cycles do, and so will this narrative die except among the most ardent nocoiners.Of course I would rather bitcoin was at $150,000. But I am not worried. I won't like it if bitcoin goes to $50,000. I'll like it even less if it goes to $15,000. But we have been here before, and we'll likely be here again.We know how this story ends.A prediction for the recordHere it is: It may have to go lower first, but bitcoin will outperform precious metals over the next 18 months, and probably over the next 12.Let's mark the price: gold is $5,000. Silver is $78. Bitcoin is $67,000.By the way, I advocate owning both: gold and bitcoin. So at this point I should really plug Charlie Morris's BOLD, an ETF you can buy through your broker which owns both gold and bitcoin.

De prijs van bitcoin blijft deze week steken rond de $67.000. Iets lager dan vorige week, maar geen enorme sprongen. Daarom hebben we het vooral over het nieuws.

Michael Saylor dismissed concerns of forced Bitcoin sales, confirming that Strategy added 1,142 BTC to its 700,000-coin stack despite market volatility. Meanwhile, Sam Bankman-Fried is seeking a trial "reset" through a new motion citing the absence of key testimony.

Talking Real Money opens with a stark illustration of why Bitcoin fails as a usable currency, showing how volatility can destroy real-life budgets overnight. Don and Tom compare crypto to historic speculative bubbles, argue that stability—not hype—is the core function of money, and dismantle the “store of value” narrative. The show then shifts to practical listener calls covering CD ladders, Treasury yields, retirement readiness, estate planning, and early-retirement balance. Throughout, they emphasize boring, diversified, evidence-based investing over speculation, reminding listeners that long-term financial security comes from discipline, planning, and emotional restraint—not chasing the next hot trend. 0:04 Bitcoin paycheck scenario and real-world income collapse 1:04 Currency volatility vs. household budgeting reality 2:22 Bitcoin's 45% drop and “currency vs. speculation” argument 3:24 Hyperinflation examples and why stability matters 4:03 “Greater fool” theory and vanishing crypto hype 4:47 Why Bitcoin fails as a functional currency 5:59 Tulip mania and historical bubbles comparison 6:59 Tangible assets vs. pure speculation 7:39 “At least you can live in a house” argument 8:26 Michael Saylor, HODL culture, and empty promises 9:30 NFT collapse and Beeple example 10:11 Crypto returns vs. real assets 11:14 Listener question: CDs vs. Treasuries 12:22 Current CD rates and Bankrate reference 13:56 Risks of long-term bonds and rate changes 15:32 Don's real CD ladder example 16:37 Fixed income diversification strategy 18:35 Hot money leaving crypto for prediction markets 19:45 Generational blind spots and bubble psychology 21:08 Retirement planning call: housing proceeds and savings 23:57 Social Security timing and cash-flow planning 25:41 Importance of fee-only fiduciary planning 27:32 Vernita Toll Bridge digression (classic TRM) 30:33 Estate planning: wills vs. trusts 33:49 RetireMeet promotion and resources 35:43 FIRE listener call: saving vs. living balance 38:58 Permission to spend responsibly Learn more about your ad choices.

Not even “thermodynamically sound energy through time and space” makes Bitcoin money. In this episode, we take another hammer to the sacred cow of crypto and ask a simpler question: what does money actually have to do to count as money? We revisit our infamous chat with Michael Saylor at peak crypto-poetry, then go where all good monetary debates should go; back to the original forgers and the original punishments. Dante put counterfeiters near the bottom of hell for a reason: mess with money and you mess with civilisation. We break down why Bitcoin's fixed supply is exactly what stops it functioning as a currency, why volatility turns it into a hoarding game, and why “stablecoins” are less innovation than rebranded old finance. Crypto generates no income, finances no productive activity, and gives you no legal claim on anything, it's a tradable gamble powered by belief, momentum, and the greater fool theory. We start with Dante, detour through Archimedes, and end with Isaac Newton, and the madness of crowds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The crypto markets are in the midst of absolute madness, and this episode of The Crypto Rundown breaks down every twist and turn of this high-stakes soap opera. Host Mark Longo is joined by Bill Ulivieri of Cenacle Capital Management to dissect a week that saw Bitcoin plunge to $60K only to stage a dramatic turnaround. In this episode, we dive deep into the "MSTR Effect"—has MicroStrategy officially stolen the throne from Coinbase as the crypto market's primary bellwether? We explore the massive volatility spikes, the impact of "vibe coding" on market analysis, and the surprising resilience of the IBIT ETF during a period of intense capitulation. In This Episode: Bitcoin Breakdown: Analyzing the 10,000-point swing from $60K back to $75K and the "widows and orphans" state of BTC volatility compared to equity proxies. The MSTR Drama: A look at Michael Saylor's relentless buying and why MicroStrategy might be the "amplified" crypto play of the decade. Altcoin Universe: Why Ethereum (ETH) found a "perfect trend line" at $1,700 and why Bill is eyeing the Canton Network (CC) as a hidden institutional gem. 0DTE in IBIT: How the addition of intra-week expirations is changing the game for premium harvesters. Circle (CRCL) & Beyond: Analyzing the wreckage in Solana, XRP, and Doge, and finding the deals hidden in the firestorm.  

In this episode we discuss Michael Saylor's Bitcoin purchase execution and leverage strategy, and persistent public skepticism toward crypto.

I can't tell you how many messages I am getting from people about silver.Have I seen this video, read this article, looked at this data, listened to this podcast. JP Morgan is about to go bust, the paper markets are overwhelmed, the price is manipulated, China is setting the real price, this is a reset. And so on.The problem with speculative manias, especially when silver is involved, is that enormous amounts of misinformation get spread, much of it about things you and I, as ordinary investors, can do nothing about.Take it all with a pinch of salt is my advice.What I find interesting is that similar amounts of misinformation are being spread about bitcoin. The price is being manipulated on the futures markets, Strategy is about to go bust, Michael Saylor is this, that and the other, and so on. It's game over.The only real difference is that one is in a bull market, which may or may not be over, and the other is in a bear market, which may or may not be over. Sentiment for both is at extremes, albeit at different ends of the investment spectrum.During every crypto winter I've known, people start to give up on it. The future is no longer what it once was. The tech is flawed. It's going to zero. It's not real. It's a scam invented by the CIA, Jeffrey Epstein, Elon Musk, take your pick.Again, take it all with a pinch of salt.Remember, neither situation is permanent.There is a case for owning both, and I do in my portfolio.I'd rather bitcoin was $150,000 and more, of course I would. But I'll take a sportsman's bet that, from current levels over the next 12 months, bitcoin will outperform gold, and probably silver.I know some readers prefer tangible precious metals. Others prefer bitcoin. Both points of view are fine. Each to their own. But I'm an own-both guy. Over the past six months the disappointment in bitcoin has been more than offset by the gains in precious metals. In previous years the reverse has been true, and the reverse will be true again.With the extraordinary accumulation of gold by central banks, the rising price, Triffin's Dilemma, and de-dollarisation, I do think it is possible some kind of reset is coming as far as gold is concerned. The price does need to go much higher for it to overtake the dollar as central banks' primary reserve asset. It has already overtaken US Treasuries.But that does not mean silver is going to be remonetised. Silver's monetary role was always as a medium of exchange, and we now live in a world where exchange is almost entirely digital. Yes, I would prefer to be paid in physical silver. There is something quite spiritual about being paid for a job in physical silver. But so what. Convenience wins.Silver's role as a store of wealth was minimal. That is where gold still has use.Yes, silver has umpteen industrial uses. It is a critical metal and in short supply. A rising gold price will carry silver higher too, just as it has platinum in recent months. But I don't buy the monetary reset arguments as far as silver is concerned.I do get them about gold though.Anyway, good Sunday to you.This week I appeared on Geoff Norcott's podcast. If you fancy a watch or a listen, here are links to Spotify and Apple podcasts.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I recommend, whereever you are int he world, is The Pure Gold Company. More here.ICYMI here is this week's commentaryThis coming week I'll be looking at the tax loss trades and I am aiming to have more on oil as well.Until next timeDominic This is a public episode.

En este episodio hablamos de un modelo que está cambiando silenciosamente la forma en la que se estructura el capital en los mercados públicos: las Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs). No son empresas cripto ni nacen desde una ideología. Nacen desde Wall Street. Son compañías públicas cuyo negocio principal no es vender productos, sino acumular activos digitales por acción, utilizando la volatilidad como una herramienta estratégica y no como un riesgo. Analizamos por qué este modelo, impulsado por figuras como Michael Saylor y empresas como MicroStrategy, está redefiniendo la narrativa de inversión, en qué se diferencian las DATs de los ETFs, y por qué conceptos como liquidez, acceso a mercado público y estructura financiera importan mucho más de lo que la mayoría cree. También hablamos de Bitcoin más allá del discurso del “oro digital”, de cómo se construye una tesis cuando el precio deja de ser el punto de partida y de qué sucede cuando una empresa decide que su negocio es, literalmente, acumular capital duro a largo plazo. Este episodio no es una recomendación de inversión, es una invitación a entender cómo se están construyendo nuevas estructuras de capital y por qué aprender a leer estos modelos es clave antes de formarte una opinión. Mira el episodio completo y eleva tu criterio para entender el nuevo juego del capital.

Bitcoin's rise isn't driven by hype or speculation. It is driven by physics. In this episode, Michael Saylor explains why capital behaves like energy, naturally flowing from unstable, inefficient systems into the lowest energy monetary state available. Using his waterfall analogy, Saylor breaks down risk, volatility, and performance, revealing why Bitcoin continues to absorb capital across the global financial system. As institutions at Davos openly admit the monetary order is breaking and capital wars are emerging, banks, corporations, and governments are quietly repositioning. This isn't about predicting price. It is about understanding direction. And once you understand the physics, the outcome becomes obvious.SPONSORS:✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Michael Saylor cala la maschera. in una recente clamorosa intervista il CEO di Strategy si inalbera quando viene interrogato sul modello di business delle Bitcoin Tresury Company e dimostra inequivocabilmente di essere solo l'ennesimo servo di Wall Street.Inoltre: brogli e violenza durante le elezioni in Uganda, l'Iran collassa e i cittadini scoprono bitcoin, arriva Rawbit il nuovo visualizzatore didattico, è operativo il BIP3, pagamenti bitcoin in Tailandia grazie a PlebQR, assegnati i premi di Time2Build, e Gloria Zhao viene hackerata.It's showtime!

On this episode of Hell Money, we break down Michael Saylor's heated What Bitcoin Did interview and the growing split between Bitcoin's old guard and the next generation. From boomer wealth concentration and Bitcoin treasury companies to the rise of techno-feudalism, we unpack why retail feels gone, why Saylor sounds increasingly defensive, and where Bitcoin culture is actually headed.We cover:- Michael Saylor's 2025 review on What Bitcoin Did- American HODL and Matt Odell's therapy session on What Bitcoin Did- Generational wealth transfer and boomer dominance- Why no retail- Techno-feudalism and concentration of power- The fading golden era of Bitcoin podcasting

In this conversation, Stephan Livera and Matt Cole discuss the rapid growth and strategic developments of Strive, a Bitcoin treasury company, particularly following its merger with Semler Scientific. They explore the implications of this merger, the importance of institutional interest in Bitcoin, and the strategies for managing debt and generating yield. The discussion also touches on the competitive landscape of Bitcoin treasury companies, the role of digital credit, and the future outlook for Bitcoin in the context of increasing institutional adoption and market dynamics.Takeaways:

If the stories are to be believed, and the first casualty of war is truth and all that, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro sent some 3.6 million ounces of gold - $16 billion in today's money - to Switzerland before 2017, when the EU brought sanctions against Venezuela.Switzerland last week froze his accounts and the accounts of some 36 others with close ties. We don't know how much money he had in them, or how many accounts there were, but the figure doing the rounds is $10 billion.It has also emerged that Tether has been freezing “wallets identified as being involved in the Venezuelan oil trade.” As much as 80% of Petroleos de Venezuela's oil revenue is believed to be transacted in tether. This could be a total figure in the billions too.We also know that Venezuela was mining bitcoin for many years - when the price was a lot lower - but we don't know what they did with the coins. Did they fall into Maduro's hands? Were they sold? Were they held?The number doing the rounds here that it owns 600,000 BTC (~$60 billion). That would put Venezuela up there with Michael Saylor and Strategy. It's three times the 198,000 coins the US government itself is said to own.There's a seed phrase I'd like to know. Where are the keys, I wonder?And where did the proceeds of Venezuela's enormous oil, gold and other natural resource exports end up, exactly? Only some of them we know. At this point we remind you that the Venezuelan currency itself - the bolivar - collapsed in hyperinflation and has little to no value. Beware national currencies, particularly under socialist regimes. They don't last.There are several things I take away from all of this.First, the US dollar - whether via SWIFT or stablecoin - remains the number one international currency of choice, even for America's enemies.Second, tether and other US dollar stablecoins might be convenient - you don't have to use banks - but Tether will do what the US government tells it to do, and if the government wants your assets frozen, Tether will freeze them.Stablecoins, then, have a central point of failure. If someone can freeze them, they are not sovereign. And just as the US froze Russian US dollar assets after its invasion of Ukraine, so can and will it freeze the stablecoin assets of its enemies too.What did that 2022 freezing of Russian assets trigger? The mother of all bull markets in gold, and then silver and miners.What will this freezing trigger? A bull market in bitcoin. Possibly. Likely.It's already creeping back up.While the US does its geo-political, strategic, critical minerals thing, quaint old Western Europe is sinking deeper into higher taxes and - I'm sure they're coming eventually - capital controls. In fact, capital controls already exist in effect, banks are so heavily regulated and limiting of what you can send and to whom.The value of permissionless, international money just went up.You need to own money that they can't touch, whether by seizure or debasement.Meanwhile …Gold and silver continue to go bananas - the latter especially.So many roads lead to gold at the moment, it's hard to see when this stops.The inevitable debasement of national currencies off the back of uncontrollable government spending. Gold. Dedollarisation. Gold. Increasing geo-political uncertainty - Iran, Venezuela. Gold. Reshoring of US industry - highly inflationary. Gold. Revaluation of US gold holdings. Gold. Looming crisis from Japan as yields spike. Gold. China's ambitions for its currency and trade. Gold. Triffin's dilemma. Gold. AI putting everyone out of work leading to more money printing. Gold. Declining competence of and as a result faith in institutions worldwide. Gold.The dollar has now fallen to a 40% share of global central bank reserves, while gold is now at 30% on the back of its higher price and central bank accumulation. (Note currency and reserves are not the same).We are in a major capital rotational event the like of which occurs only every few decades.Typical portfolios are still underweight gold.If you live in a Third World Country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound is going to be further devalued. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Own bothAs regular readers will know, I advocate owning both bitcoin and gold. The two assets have many similarities in that they are non-government, independent money. But the fundamental difference is that one is physical and one is digital.Both have their uses, and I have little patience with this notion that one must choose one or the other.In that regard, as with many others, my worldview is aligned with that of Charlie Morris (whose newsletters I urge you to subscribe to. There are lots of free options, including Atlas Pulse, which I love). Remember many years ago Charlie was calling for $7,000 gold by the end of this decade and many thought he was dotty. His call is looking perfectly sensible now, which it was - and which he is. Charlie previously managed a multi-billion-dollar fund for HSBC, before going solo. Aside from his newsletter, one his main endeavours has been BOLD, and he has been trying to get it listed for years. But the UK's Financial Conduct Authority is retarded.BOLD is a fund you can buy through a broker which is 75% gold and 25% bitcoin - all properly audited and backed, of course, with institutional-grade custody.Over the past five years, BOLD has returned 186%, while bitcoin has returned 202%, gold 128%, and equities 77%. The average return of bitcoin and gold together was 165%, yet BOLD was 21% ahead. This is because every month Charlie rebalances the portfolio, effectively buying more of whichever is the weaker asset to retain that 75:25 ratio. This act of rebalancing both strips out the volatility and increases the gains.Since Charlie first conceived of it in 2017, over pretty much any timeframe, BOLD (in blue) has beaten everything.Since its listing in Europe in 2022 BOLD has returned 123% since launch (in GBP to end 2025 including fees) compared to 111% for bitcoin and 113% for gold.It would have been nice to have been able to enjoy these gains in the UK. Thank goodness the FCA has protected us from them.Not for much longer.I was delighted to be at the London Stock Exchange yesterday to see the listing of this product which delivers “bitcoin-like returns with the lesser volatility of gold.”Congratulations, Charlie, for finally getting this listed. I wish you every success.Now we can actually invest.Obviously, if gold AND bitcoin both turn down, BOLD will suffer. But this is a classic buy-and-forget product, perfect for the Dolce Far Niente portfolio. You can own it in your pension, your ISA and it should become a mainstay of any portfolio.The 21Shares Bitcoin Gold ETP, BOLD, has the ticker LSE:BOLD.I am a buyer.PS some brokers such as AJ Bellend have only made this product available to pro investors. The broker I use is Interactive Investor, who are pretty good about getting these kinds of things live. If you open an account via this link you get a year's free. I am just on the phone to them now to get this listed.Disclaimer:The Flying Frisby is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or any other regulatory body as a financial advisor.

Michael Saylor calls Bitcoin digital energy — stored work that never wears out, never inflates, and can't be manipulated. With the Z Token, you earn Bitcoin monthly — sent to your self-custody wallet — without price volatility. Stable value. Real yield. Total control.

Silver didn't just rally in 2025 — it broke out. After blasting through the multi-decade $50 ceiling and printing a violent spike into the $80s, silver finished the year still above $70, up roughly 140% while gold surged 64%. Meanwhile, the asset CNBC swore would win the year — Bitcoin — finished down, and Michael Saylor's Strategy (MicroStrategy) collapsed to a fresh 52-week low.In this episode, Peter Schiff explains why the “blow-off top” narrative is wrong, why silver's skepticism is actually bullish, and why this breakout is the start of a new leg higher — not the end. He also lays out why 2026 is shaping up as stagflation (weaker growth + stronger inflation), why tariffs will filter into consumer prices, why the Fed will face massive political pressure to cut and monetize, and why capital is rotating out of U.S. assets and into precious metals, commodities, foreign stocks, and emerging markets.If you're still treating Bitcoin as “digital gold,” this is your warning shot: silver is signaling something big — and crypto may be next to unwind.
