Podcasts about MicroStrategy

Don and Tom take listeners on a wild ride through the booming (and frequently disastrous) world of leveraged ETFs. They break down how these funds promise double or triple the excitement but mathematically bleed away returns through volatility decay. A few listener questions follow, covering retirement cash buffers, negotiating advisory fees on large portfolios, and comparing IRTR vs AOM for a near-retiree allocation. Humor, subtle self-mockery, a Jonas Brothers detour, and a reminder that gambling is not investing. 0:04 Opening banter and the thrill-seeker pitch for leveraged ETFs 1:29 Leveraged single-stock ETFs explode from zero to $40B 3:26 MicroStrategy example: stock up ~30%, 2x ETF down ~65% 5:03 How volatility decay quietly destroys leveraged returns 7:36 5x ETFs and the “go to zero in one day” problem 9:01 When leverage stops being “investing” and starts being gambling 11:38 Listener question: Should retirees hold a bigger cash buffer to avoid selling in downturns? 14:37 Listener question: Should a $4M managed client negotiate fees?

This episode of Crypto Town Hall gathered top crypto analysts, traders, and community members to discuss current market volatility, recent liquidation events, and macro forces shaping digital assets. The goal was to examine the ongoing price action—including over $1 billion in recent liquidations—and debate whether we are at a market bottom or top. Speakers also explored the maturing crypto landscape, with special focus on institutional adoption, the impact of the four-year Bitcoin cycle, MicroStrategy's business model and credit rating, and the competition among digital asset treasury (DAT) companies. The discussion was lively, honest, and full of practical macro and market signal advice for both institutional and retail participants.

Gui Gomes, CEO of OranjeBTC, joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss his company's mission to become Latin America's leading Bitcoin adoption catalyst following their recent listing on Brazil's B3 exchange. Gomes brings a unique perspective shaped by his time at Bridgewater Associates, where working alongside Ray Dalio on global economic power shifts crystallized his conviction that Bitcoin represents the future of reserve currencies. He outlines OranjeBTC's dual mandate: building the region's largest Bitcoin treasury while delivering comprehensive education to investors at all levels. The company is actively accumulating Bitcoin through weekly purchases and exploring various capital instruments to grow their holdings, similar to strategies pioneered by MicroStrategy. Gomes shares his vision for Brazil's potential as an early Bitcoin adopter among major economies, arguing that the country's 215 million people could set a transformative example for emerging markets navigating the transition toward digital, decentralized monetary systems.You can connect with Gui on Linkedin-------------------------------------------------------------------

Pierre Rochard is one of the original bitcoin thinkers, builders, and educators — now serving as CEO of The Bitcoin Bond Company. Known for popularizing the term “speculative attack” in the bitcoin space, Pierre has long explored how bitcoin can replace legacy finance from the inside out.In this episode, Pierre joins The Bitcoin Frontier to discuss how banks adopting bitcoin could strengthen global stability, how fractional reserve banking might evolve on a bitcoin standard, and why he believes governments buying bitcoin is inevitable. We dig into the rise of bitcoin treasury companies, the idea behind bitcoin bonds, and whether bitcoin's decentralization can withstand institutional adoption.SUPPORT THE PODCAST: → Subscribe → Leave a review → Share the show with your friends and family → Send us an email: podcast@unchained.com → Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast → Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastTIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Intro & bitcoin's ideological roots in libertarianism3:00 – Why banks holding bitcoin could prevent future financial crises7:20 – Can fractional reserve banking exist on a bitcoin standard?10:50 – MicroStrategy and the rise of bitcoin treasury companies12:40 – Why collapsing banks would be dangerous for society16:00 – Financial intermediation, savings culture, and a soft landing to a bitcoin economy18:00 – “Money for enemies”: Why state adoption isn't betrayal20:00 – Bitcoin in U.S. and state reserves: From Texas to Trump23:00 – Can governments or corporations co-opt bitcoin?25:00 – What bitcoin bonds are and how the Bitcoin Bond Company works29:30 – Bringing bitcoin into institutional portfolios through structured credit35:00 – Comparing bitcoin bonds to MicroStrategy's convertibles37:00 – Why treasury companies are undervalued and what investors are missing40:00 – Hyperbitcoinization, speculative attacks, and soft landings45:00 – How adoption is accelerating asymmetrically across nations50:00 – The ETF era: Collaborative custody and the path from convenience to sovereignty55:00 – Have we peaked in self-custody?

C'est une affaire digne d'un scénario hollywoodien qui secoue le Royaume-Uni. La police métropolitaine de Londres vient de réaliser la plus grande saisie de cryptomonnaies de l'histoire : près de 61 000 bitcoins, soit environ 6,8 milliards de dollars au cours actuel.Au cœur de cette opération record, une femme : Qian Zhimin, aussi connue sous le nom de Yadi Zhang, une ressortissante chinoise de 47 ans que la presse locale surnomme déjà la “déesse de la richesse”. Et pour cause : cette fortune colossale n'a rien d'honnête. Entre 2014 et 2017, la suspecte aurait mené une gigantesque escroquerie financière en Chine, qui aurait fait près de 128 000 victimes. L'argent détourné aurait ensuite été converti en bitcoins pour échapper aux autorités. Quand son réseau a été démantelé, Qian Zhimin a pris la fuite, utilisant de faux papiers pour se réfugier au Royaume-Uni. Sur place, elle aurait tenté de blanchir ses cryptos via un enchevêtrement de sociétés-écrans et de comptes anonymes. C'est là que les enquêteurs britanniques, en collaboration avec les autorités chinoises, ont fini par remonter sa trace.La somme saisie dépasse largement les réserves détenues par la plupart des entreprises spécialisées dans les cryptos. À titre de comparaison, Michael Saylor, fondateur de MicroStrategy et fervent défenseur du Bitcoin, en possède personnellement “seulement” 17 000. Reste désormais une question cruciale : que va-t-il advenir de cette fortune numérique ? Les procédures pour restituer l'argent aux victimes s'annoncent longues et complexes, notamment en raison du cadre juridique international autour des cryptomonnaies. Une chose est sûre : cette affaire hors norme rappelle que l'univers du Bitcoin reste un Far West financier, où fortunes et fraudes se côtoient encore dangereusement. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode, we settle the debate once and for all with real math, real trades, and real outcomes. You'll see why so many traders get seduced by the idea of selling options — and why that strategy can quietly destroy your account if you don't understand the math behind it.This isn't theory. It's a data-driven breakdown of what happens when you sell puts on a stock that's trending down, like MicroStrategy (MSTR), versus what happens when you buy puts in the same setup. Using OVTLYR's behavioral analytics, we walk through exactly how expectancy, time decay, and leverage work together — and how most retail traders get it backward.Key insights from this video:✅ Why selling options looks safe but carries unlimited downside risk✅ How one losing trade can wipe out six to twelve winners✅ What “extrinsic value” really means and why sellers can never profit from intrinsic value✅ How theta decay, delta movement, and volatility crush the illusion of safety✅ Why “cut your losses” isn't just advice, it's a survival rule✅ The golden rule of leverage that every trader must understand✅ How OVTLYR traders use expectancy models to pick smarter entries and exitsWe start by revisiting the fundamentals of options — long puts, short puts, and how both sides of the same contract mirror each other. You'll see how buyers profit when prices drop, while sellers only win if the stock stays flat or rises. The catch? The moment the stock breaks into a downtrend, the seller's losses start accelerating faster than they can recover.To drive it home, the episode dives into a detailed case study of selling a $380 MicroStrategy put that instantly turns against the seller. What begins as a $500 credit turns into a $3,800 loss per contract, even though the stock only drops 10%. That's a 723% loss compared to the maximum possible gain — and it happens simply because of how options pricing works.This example shows the danger of the “high probability” myth. Selling options may give you an 84% win rate on paper, but that means nothing if your losses are six to ten times larger than your winners. The math simply doesn't hold up. With OVTLYR's tools, traders can clearly see when probabilities deceive and how to flip the equation in their favor by focusing on high expectancy setups instead of high win rates.The episode also reveals what legendary traders like Larry Hite taught about cutting losses, managing risk, and surviving volatility. You'll discover why professional traders use systematic plans, why selling options often breaks the golden rule of leverage, and how to avoid the same trap that has ruined countless accounts.If you're serious about understanding the truth behind buying versus selling options, this video will change how you think about trading forever.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Don and Tom kick off by joking about their “record-breaking” call drought before diving headlong into the week's biggest speculative loser: crypto. The duo dismantle the mythology around Bitcoin and its countless imitators, comparing the excitement of trading coins to sports betting and reminding listeners that portfolios are for investing, not gambling. They tie the current crypto crash to leverage, insider-like trades, and the same fraud patterns seen in history's great financial cons—from Jay Gould's gold-cornering to Elizabeth Holmes' blood-testing farce. Later, they field listener questions on asset location, liquidity management, emerging-market exposure, and the danger of leverage via MicroStrategy's Bitcoin bet. Through it all, they emphasize fiduciary discipline, skepticism toward hype, and the basic rule: excitement and good investing rarely mix. 0:04 Pretending last Saturday's show didn't happen; Tom's pun about “Pacific” questions. 1:41 Crypto crash carnage—Bitcoin off 16%, Ethereum down 25%, “Trump Coin” collapsing. 2:30 Comparing crypto's thrill-seeking crowd to sports betting mania. 3:55 Why your financial advisor should not be your gambling coach. 4:48 The leveraged, insider-ish side of crypto speculation. 5:06 The absurdity of 10,000+ coins that serve no purpose but gambling. 7:40 Calling crypto “speculative” and comparing it to a casino roller coaster. 8:10 Binance payout trouble—proof many players don't know how to run big-money businesses. 10:32 MicroStrategy's leveraged Bitcoin plunge and the perils of margin. 11:37 The illusion of “value” in digital tokens versus productive assets. 12:55 Historical echo: borrowed money, bubbles, and 1929-style leverage warnings. 15:25 Listener questions segment opens; lighthearted banter about philately and call volume. 17:02 “ChatGPT beats bad advisors” — asset location done right (bonds in IRA, stocks in Roth). 18:30 Why most “advisors” ignore tax planning in favor of commissions. 20:23 Jay Gould, robber barons, and the Wall Street Journal's bizarre defense of con artists. 22:12 From Nikola to Theranos—lying as business strategy and why “gray areas” hurt investors. 24:53 The moral cost of tolerating fraud disguised as innovation. 26:36 Why trust is the real foundation of capitalism, not creative deception. 27:00 How to protect yourself: fee-only fiduciary advice and due diligence. 27:36 Mariners hangover theory for low call volume; nostalgic TV banter (“Bewitched”). 29:06 Caller Tom (Seattle): $4 M portfolio, $1 M in money market—how much liquidity is too much? 30:34 The hidden risk of waiting too long to react when rates fall. 33:08 Building a CD ladder to lock yield without betting on one-day rates. 34:25 Quick take: Why they'd avoid owning Boeing stock individually. 36:18 Caller Justin (Florida): emerging-market allocation for high-risk investors. 37:29 Case for small-cap and value tilts, including emerging markets. 38:34 Should you exclude China?

In this episode of the Bitcoin for Corporations Show, host Pierre Rochard is joined by Khing Oei, Founder and CEO of Treasury, to unpack one of the most important macro theses in modern finance: how Bitcoin is evolving beyond "digital gold" to become the capital base layer of the global economy — and why that shift could disrupt credit markets at their core.Oei shares his expertise in credit markets and distressed asset investing, breaking down why Bitcoin treasury companies exist while gold treasury companies never emerged, and how equity issuance, regulatory arbitrage, and balance sheet engineering are accelerating institutional Bitcoin adoption. The conversation explores how securitized Bitcoin products and corporate treasury structures could unlock a massive wave of demand — creating a reflexive feedback loop that transforms balance sheets, yield curves, and global capital flows.You'll also learn how Europe's regulatory landscape and tax treatment are shaping the next phase of Bitcoin-backed credit, why companies like MicroStrategy pioneered this model, and how future corporate issuers could become engines of structural demand far larger than ETFs or retail investors.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Bitcoin vs. Gold – The Treasury Debate00:55 – Treasury: Going Public in Amsterdam01:23 – From Goldman Sachs to Bitcoin: Khing Oei03:04 – Why Bitcoin Treasury Companies Exist — And Gold Never Will07:45 – Scaling the Bitcoin Treasury Model: Balance Sheet Engineering Explained14:12 – Preferred Shares, Perpetuals, and the Rise of Bitcoin-Backed Credit21:38 – Equity vs. Debt: Strategic Capital Structure on a Bitcoin Standard28:04 – Investor Appetite and Yield Dynamics in Bitcoin-Backed Instruments34:52 – Building a Bitcoin Ecosystem: Media, Events, and Network Effects41:10 – Corporate Treasuries: Driving Reflexive Demand48:03 – The Path to Institutional Maturity: From Treasury Strategy to Financial Products54:45 – Macro Shifts: European Pension Funds and Fixed Income Culture1:02:00 – Regulatory Arbitrage in Europe?1:04:03 – Europe's Fiscal Health and Bond Yields: Macro Forces Fueling the Bitcoin Era

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Paul Sztorc, CEO of Layer2 Labs, about Bitcoin's evolution, the limitations of the Lightning Network, and how his ideas for drivechains and merge-mined sidechains could transform scalability and privacy on the Bitcoin network. They cover everything from Zcash's zero-knowledge proofs and “moon math” to the block size wars, sound money, and the economic realities behind crypto hype cycles. Paul also explains his projects like Zside and Thunder, which aim to bring features like Zcash-style privacy and high-speed transactions to Bitcoin. Listeners can try Layer2 Labs' software or learn more at layer2labs.com/download.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop opens with Paul Sztorc from Layer2 Labs, discussing the connection between Bitcoin and Zcash and how privacy could be added through zero-knowledge proofs.05:00 Paul critiques early Layer 2s like Rootstock and Lightning, calling many “not real” or custodial, and compares the current scene to the .com bubble.10:00 They explore media hype, Silicon Valley culture, and crypto's cycles of optimism and collapse, mentioning Theranos, FTX, and fake-it-till-you-make-it culture.15:00 Conversation shifts to sound money, government spending, and how Bitcoin could improve fiscal responsibility, referencing Milton Friedman's ideas.20:00 Paul questions Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy, explaining flawed incentives and better direct ownership logic.25:00 They move into geopolitics and The Sovereign Individual, discussing borders, state control, and the future of digital sovereignty.30:00 Paul explains zero-knowledge proofs, Zcash's “moon math,” and the evolution from sapling to Halo 2 for better privacy.35:00 The topic turns to drivechains, BIP300, and Layer2 Labs' projects like Zside and Thunder, built for real Bitcoin scalability.40:00 Paul explains why Lightning fails, liquidity limits, and why true scaling requires optional L2s with large block capacity.45:00 They discuss the block size war, merge mining, and how miners and nodes interact in Bitcoin's structure.50:00 Paul breaks down the Merkle tree, block headers, and SHA-256 puzzles miners race to solve for proof-of-work.55:00 The episode closes with how L1–L2 coordination works, the mechanics of slow withdrawals, and secondary markets in drivechains.Key InsightsBitcoin's privacy gap and Zcash's influence: Paul Sztorc begins by explaining how Bitcoin lacks true privacy since senders, receivers, and amounts are visible on-chain. He describes Zcash as a model for achieving anonymity through zero-knowledge proofs and explains how Layer2 Labs aims to bring that same level of privacy to Bitcoin without introducing a new altcoin or token.The failure of current Layer 2 solutions: Paul argues that existing Bitcoin Layer 2s like Lightning and Rootstock are flawed—either custodial, inefficient, or deceptive. He compares today's crypto landscape to the dot-com bubble, full of overhyped projects and scams that will collapse before the genuine solutions survive.Sound money and political accountability: The discussion expands beyond technology to economics, as Paul highlights how unsustainable government debt and spending distort incentives. He believes Bitcoin could restore discipline to fiscal systems by forcing real accounting and limiting the political capacity to inflate or borrow endlessly.Corporate Bitcoin strategies are often misguided: Paul criticizes companies like MicroStrategy for treating Bitcoin as a speculative treasury asset instead of using it for real utility. He argues that investors should just buy Bitcoin directly rather than buy shares in companies that hold it, since intermediaries introduce unnecessary risk, fees, and opacity.Drivechains as Bitcoin's missing scalability link: Sztorc presents drivechains, outlined in his proposal BIP300, as the practical way to scale Bitcoin. Drivechains allow multiple Layer 2s to exist simultaneously, each optimized for specific features like privacy, larger blocks, or smart contracts, all while using the same 21 million BTC.Lightning Network's structural limitations: Paul dismantles Lightning's core assumptions, pointing out that it cannot scale globally because each channel requires on-chain transactions and constant liquidity maintenance. He calls Lightning a “Theranos of Bitcoin,” arguing that it distracts the community from genuine, scalable innovation.Merge mining and the path to Bitcoin's future: The episode concludes with Paul describing merge mining as the mechanism that unites L1 and L2 securely, letting miners earn more revenue without extra work. He envisions a Bitcoin ecosystem where optional, diverse L2s provide privacy, speed, and flexibility—anchored by a lean, reliable L1 base.

De cryptomarkt is deze week weer volop in beweging. Bitcoin noteert rond de 122.000 dollar, na begin van de week zelfs kortstondig een nieuw record van 126.000 dollar te hebben aangetikt. Sindsdien is de koers wat teruggevallen, maar de vraag blijft of bitcoin zich blijft gedragen als goud of als risicovol aandeel — of juist zijn eigen pad kiest. Altcoins laten een wisselend beeld zien. Uitschieter is BNB, de munt van Binance, die deze week met 26 procent steeg. Ondertussen blijft Donald Trump nadrukkelijk aanwezig in de cryptowereld. Het bedrijf achter zijn eigen memecoin, Fight Fight Fight LLC, wil 200 miljoen dollar investeren in digitale valuta. Daarmee wil het bedrijf zelf een zogenoemde ‘digital assets treasury company’ worden, vergelijkbaar met wat MicroStrategy doet. Eén van de eerste aankopen die op de lijst staat: de eigen Trump Coin. Daarmee probeert het bedrijf de waarde van die munt verder op te stuwen, al is dat plan niet zonder risico. De munt van Trump was begin dit jaar nog goed voor 45 dollar, maar staat inmiddels rond de 7,50 dollar. Een groot deel van de tokens is bovendien in handen van Trump zelf en de oprichters van het project — zo’n tachtig procent in totaal, waarvan slechts een derde vrij verhandelbaar is. Daarmee zit de voormalige president op een papieren winst van honderden miljoenen, maar het is onwaarschijnlijk dat hij die snel kan verzilveren. Voor de resterende houders van de munt betekent dat vooral veel toekomstige verkoopdruk. Verder lijkt de opmars van stablecoins niet te stoppen. Wereldwijd is inmiddels ruim 300 miljard dollar aan dit soort digitale dollars in omloop. En het zijn allang niet meer alleen cryptobedrijven die zich op deze markt storten. ING werkt samen met Europese banken aan een eigen stablecoin, terwijl ook internetbedrijf Cloudflare plannen heeft. Buiten Europa bouwen de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten aan een nationale blockchain met een eigen Dirham-stablecoin. En zelfs Alipay, onderdeel van de Chinese Ant Group, komt met een gereguleerde euro stablecoin vanuit Luxemburg — een opmerkelijke stap, want de euro-variant loopt nog sterk achter op de dollartokens. De beweegredenen verschillen per partij. Cryptobedrijven hopen mee te liften op het winstgevende model van Tether, dat vorig jaar dertien miljard dollar verdiende aan rente-inkomsten. Financiële instellingen als ING en Cloudflare zien vooral kansen om wereldwijde betalingen sneller en goedkoper te maken. Voor landen als de Emiraten spelen geopolitieke en strategische motieven een rol. En dat een Chinese partij mogelijk een belangrijke rol krijgt in het Europese stablecoinverkeer, zal ongetwijfeld nog stof doen opwaaien. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met multi-asset-belegger Jeroen Blokland, die kiest voor kwaliteitsaandelen, goud en bitcoin in zijn fonds. Hij heeft een boek geschreven, de 'Grote Herbalancering', waarin hij zijn visie op de economie schetst en vervolgens tot de conclusie komt dat de traditionele 60/40 portefeuille niet meer van deze tijd is.

October has a reputation as Bitcoin's strongest month, and so far 2025 is no exception. After a choppy September, BTC is already pushing back toward new all-time highs, shrugging off a government shutdown and showing signs of strong demand. Analysts are debating whether this is the setup for another monster Q4, with some even eyeing $200,000 by year end. We also look at how the shutdown is stalling crypto ETF approvals, new IRS guidance that saved MicroStrategy billions, Stripe's stablecoin launch, and why some believe Tether could become the world's most profitable company.

Markets had a flood of liquidations on Monday, and traders lost over $1.5 billion in positions. So, why are liquidations spiking? Is this a warning or a blip?  Also, could a flood of DAT issuance be setting the stage for not just a crypto winter, but a crypto “nuclear” winter? If so, hedge funds and market structure could accelerate the pain.  This week on Bits + Bips, Steven Ehrlich, Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Vinny Lingham talk about why mNAVs could compress and whether even MicroStrategy's stack is more fragile than it looks.  They debate the bull case for gold (yes, even at these ATHs), how tokenized stocks and changing reporting cadences could open new insider edges, and what the U.S. macro picture looks like.  Thank you to our sponsors!

In this episode of Bitcoin For Corporations, host Pierre Rochard sits down with Christian Lopez (Cohen & Company) to explore the future of Bitcoin treasuries. Lopez explains why not holding Bitcoin is becoming “irresponsible” for corporate treasurers, how inflation erodes fiat reserves, and why MicroStrategy's strategy has reshaped the playbook.00:00 - Introduction and Christian Lopez Background03:49 - Corporate and Institutional Bitcoin Adoption Landscape08:07 - Challenges and Future of Bitcoin Corporate Adoption10:40 - Different Corporate Strategies for Bitcoin Treasury Management15:09 - Debate on Corporate Bitcoin Holdings vs. Returning Cash to Investors18:41 - Capital Structure Tools Used by Bitcoin Treasury Companies22:33 - PIPE Transactions and Convertible Notes Explained28:23 - Managing Investor Relations and MNAV in Bitcoin Treasury Companies30:07 - Impact of Financial Products on Bitcoin Market Volatility32:17 - Factors Influencing MNAV and Market Correlations35:44 - Bitcoin's Four-Year Cycle and Capital Flow Dynamics38:28 - Competition and Overlap Between Bitcoin and AI/HPC Capital40:46 - Macro Economic Factors Affecting Bitcoin and Inflation42:55 - Potential Inclusion of Bitcoin Treasury Companies in the S&P 50046:06 - Long-Term Outlook on Bitcoin Adoption and Wealth Transfer48:26 - Concerns About Capital Allocation and Leverage in Bitcoin Treasuries50:04 - Institutional Custody Standards and Providers for Bitcoin Treasuries51:49 - Asset Management Strategies: Cold Storage vs. Yield Generation53:19 - Final Questions on Market Valuation and Bitcoin's Macro Impact56:47 - Bitcoin's Impact on Real Estate, Technology Investing, and Debt Markets57:42 - International Bitcoin Treasury Opportunities and Market Arbitrage60:20 - Closing Remarks and Appreciation

The panel opened with reflections on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and other recent violent events, framing them through the lens of The Fourth Turning by Strauss & Howe.Discussion on how history moves in ~80–100 year cycles of crisis and renewal, with Bitcoin and decentralized protocols potentially forming the backbone of the next institutional order.John emphasized perspective, comparing today's turmoil with past upheavals (1960s, 1970s, World Wars), and highlighted the role of media saturation in shaping perceptions.Panelists praised Kirk's willingness to debate respectfully, lamenting the erosion of open dialogue in society.Shifted to macro: China's gold accumulation as a hedge against dollar hegemony, interpreted as part of a global move toward neutral reserve assets—gold today, Bitcoin tomorrow.Deep dive into U.S. financial surveillance: the inefficiencies of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and threats of extending the Patriot Act to digital assets. Panelists argued KYC/AML laws are largely ineffective at stopping crime but very effective at surveilling citizens.Highlighted the DOJ's case against Samourai Wallet as an example of U.S. hostility toward Bitcoin privacy tools.Covered this week's major supply-chain attack on NPM packages, noting minimal impact but using it as a PSA: always verify addresses on hardware wallets and beware phishing scams.Tether launched a U.S.-regulated stablecoin (USAT). The panel explored how this intersects with the Genius Act, which would require stablecoin reserves to be in U.S. Treasuries, effectively creating a new forced buyer of U.S. debt.Quick hits: MicroStrategy denied S&P 500 inclusion (for now), BLS quietly revised U.S. job numbers down by 900k, Gemini goes public, and Michael Saylor positions MicroStrategy as a “Bitcoin capital markets” play.

In this must-watch episode of Holistic Investments, host Constantin Kogan sits down with crypto veteran David J. Namdar, CEO of BNB Network Company! With over 10 years in the game, David shares his wild journey: from pitching Bitcoin to Millennium hedge fund in 2013 (and getting rejected for lacking shorts!), co-founding Galaxy Digital with Mike Novogratz during the 2017 bull run, launching the 2nd Bitcoin ETF attempt (right after the Winklevoss twins), and now leading the charge in digital asset treasuries as CEO of BNB Network Company (NASDAQ: BNC).Why BNB? David breaks down why BNB is the "digital equity infrastructure" powering Binance's 290M users and 40% of global crypto trading volume – outpacing Coinbase's market share 8x! Backed by CZ's Easy Labs (largest investor) and Tangem Capital, CA Industries holds the biggest BNB treasury on the planet. Learn how this MicroStrategy-inspired strategy (but for BNB) could 10x your exposure without direct access to Binance in the US. David predicts BNB surpassing XRP by end of 2025 – and why tokenized stocks, 24/7 markets, and AI agents will supercharge BNB Chain over Ethereum.Key Highlights:
