In this episode, Scott Becker reviews two listener-recommended stocks.

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!

The Trump family's latest venture—a so-called “crypto treasury” stock—could generate their biggest payday through the WLFI token from World Liberty Financial, while being a potential minefield for investors. The offering follows the success of Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy, now renamed as Strategy, a “bitcoin treasury company” that accumulates bitcoin by using debt and new stock issues to keep on buying more. Listen in on a conversation between some of The Wall Street Journal's sharpest financial minds in the debut episode of Ticker Shock as our team unpacks the trade. Ticker Shock provides insights to help finance-curious listeners connect the dots between what's happening in policy, markets and the economy to their financial lives and investments. This week, business and finance editor Alex Frangos and markets reporter Chelsey Dulaney are joined by Streetwise columnist James Mackintosh and Markets A.M. newsletter writer and investing columnist Spencer Jakab to discuss the “infinite money glitch.” They also talk about how these sorts of tokens compare to meme stocks such as GameStop and AMC.

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:

What if we told you there's a way to earn yield on ETH, tap public markets, and build a MicroStrategy-style ETH compounding machine, all without touching a hardware wallet? In today's episode, we sit down with Ethereum OG Andrew Keys and SPAC expert Andrejka Bernátová to reveal the “Ether Machine”, a next-gen Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) that could change how institutions invest in ETH forever.~~~~~

De koers van Bitcoin blijft rond de 114.000 dollar hangen. Daarmee is er deze week weinig beweging te zien, terwijl altcoins opnieuw beter presteerden dan Bitcoin. Vooral Dogecoin valt op, de munt die ooit begon als grap en populair werd door steun van onder anderen Elon Musk. Op de Amerikaanse beurs lijkt er vandaag zelfs voor het eerst een ETF te worden gelanceerd voor Dogecoin. Een analist van Bloomberg merkte op dat het de eerste keer is dat er een beleggingsfonds wordt geïntroduceerd voor een digitale munt zonder daadwerkelijk nut of doel. Toch blijft het nieuws daar niet bij. Er is namelijk ook een nieuw opkoopbedrijf dat Dogecoin aan zijn balans toevoegt. De naam is CleanCore Solutions, dat aankondigde voor 68 miljoen dollar Dogecoin aan te schaffen. Het aandeel kreeg direct een klap van 50% op de beurs, al is er sindsdien enig herstel. De strategie roept vragen op: eerdere voorbeelden met Bitcoin en Ethereum kenden succes, maar of dit ook voor Dogecoin geldt moet nog blijken. Het past in een bredere trend. Eerst waren er bedrijven die hun kasreserves in Bitcoin staken, later volgden ondernemingen die hetzelfde met Ethereum deden. Nu zien we dus ook Dogecoin. Daarnaast zijn er andere opmerkelijke bewegingen. EightCo Holdings, een klein en voorheen onopvallend bedrijf, kondigde aan via een constructie 250 miljoen dollar te investeren in Worldcoin, het project van OpenAI-oprichter Sam Altman. Onder de betrokken partijen zit ook BitMine, dat zelf al miljarden aan Ethereum beit. Zo ontstaan complexe netwerken van bedrijven die elkaar versterken in hun gok op verschillende munten. Ondanks de aandacht doen de aandelen van deze zogenoemde opkoopbedrijven het over het algemeen niet goed. Microstrategy, jarenlang hét voorbeeld van bitcoinaccumulatie, verloor sinds de zomer een kwart van zijn beurswaarde, terwijl de koers van Bitcoin zelf minder dan 10% onder zijn recordniveau noteert. Vergelijkbare bedrijven als 21 en Metaplanet laten hetzelfde beeld zien. Toch schrikt dat nieuwe spelers niet af. Vanuit Taiwan liet Sora Ventures deze week weten voor een miljard dollar in Bitcoin te willen investeren, waarvan al 200 miljoen is toegezegd. Tot slot kwam er opvallend nieuws vanuit de Verenigde Staten. De derivatenwaakhond CFTC onderzoekt of bedrijven die voldoen aan de Europese cryptowet MiCAR ook in de VS zouden mogen opereren. Die wet, die in Europa sinds vorig jaar van kracht is, bevat regels voor transparantie, vermogensscheiding en consumentenbescherming. Amerikaanse toezichthouders lijken zo te zoeken naar manieren om crypto-ondernemingen die eerder het land verlieten weer terug te halen. Daarmee krijgt Europese regelgeving onverwacht een rol in de Amerikaanse discussie. Deze week in de CryptocastEen nieuwe Deep Dive, uiteraard met co-hosts Veronique Estié en Bert Slagter. Dit keer kijken we naar crypto op de beurs. Dan denk je natuurlijk direct aan die immens populaire ETF's voor Bitcoin en Ethereum, maar we kijken ook naar andere manieren om blootstelling aan de cryptomarkt te krijgen, En of dat nu meerwaarde heeft, als je al Bitcoin of Ethereum in portefeuille hebt. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

In this episode, Lex speaks with Marcelo Ruiz de Olano, Co-Founder of KPK (Karpatkey), an on-chain asset management firm born out of Gnosis DAO. Marcelo recounts KPK's evolution from stewarding Gnosis's $1B treasury to advising on more than $2B for leading protocols like ENS, Balancer, and the Ethereum Foundation. The discussion dives into the mechanics of non-custodial treasury management - balancing governance, security, and risk - along with strategies across lending, liquidity provision, and stablecoin yields. Marcelo also shares why the rise of large Ethereum treasury companies could be a turning point for DeFi, injecting institutional-scale liquidity and potentially making ETH more liquid than Bitcoin. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:Origins and Scale of On-Chain Treasury ManagementKPK spun out of Gnosis DAO, which had one of the earliest and largest on-chain treasuries (~$1B). From there, KPK evolved into an independent manager now advising on over $2B of DAO and foundation treasuries (ENS, Balancer, Ethereum Foundation, etc.), pioneering non-custodial, fully on-chain asset management practices.Conservative, Mission-Driven Approach vs. Yield-ChasingUnlike many DeFi actors during “DeFi Summer,” KPK deliberately rejected risky high-yield strategies. Instead, they prioritized capital preservation and mission alignment—for example, ensuring ENS's treasury only supports Ethereum-strengthening initiatives (like minority client staking or avoiding centralization risks). This contrarian, values-driven approach built trust and positioned them as long-term stewards of DeFi treasuries.Transformative Potential of Ethereum Treasury CompaniesMarcelo highlights that emerging Ethereum treasury firms (similar to MicroStrategy's BTC play) could deploy $10B+ in ETH treasuries. A single such “mega whale” could inject unprecedented liquidity into DeFi—making ETH potentially more liquid than BTC, bootstrapping entire verticals (DEX liquidity, lending, insurance), and creating a flywheel where treasury strategies directly accelerate Ethereum's adoption and price stability. TOPICSKPK, Gnosis, Gnosis Safe, Balancer, Aave, Maker, Sky, Uniswap, Morpho, Ethereum Foundation, on-chain asset management, DAO, decentralized autonomous organization, treasury management, DeFi, tokenization, ETH, Ether, stablecoin, USDC ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Metaplanet ha vuelto a captar la atención dentro del ámbito financiero, destacándose como protagonista en nuestro Radar Empresarial. La compañía japonesa ha realizado una importante adquisición de 136 Bitcoins por un valor total de 15,2 millones de dólares, lo que equivale a un precio aproximado de 111.783 dólares por unidad. Aunque la operación se llevó a cabo el pasado domingo, cuando la criptomoneda cotizaba ligeramente por debajo de los 111.000 dólares, su valor ha repuntado y ahora se sitúa en torno a los 113.205. Sin embargo, a pesar de esta mejora en el precio, el mercado reaccionó con escepticismo y las acciones de la empresa cayeron casi un 4% en la Bolsa de Tokio, acentuando la pérdida del 20% registrada la semana anterior. En la jornada de hoy, el retroceso se amplía hasta el 10%. La estrategia de Metaplanet con respecto a las criptomonedas no es nueva. Desde abril de 2024, la empresa ha venido adquiriendo Bitcoin siguiendo el modelo de Microstrategy, que actualmente continúa siendo el mayor poseedor institucional de esta criptodivisa. Pese a la volatilidad bursátil, la apuesta de Metaplanet ha sido respaldada por sus resultados: según datos de Bloomberg, desde que comenzó a invertir en Bitcoin, su valor en bolsa ha registrado una de las mayores subidas del mercado. De hecho, en julio de este año, el Financial Times informaba que la empresa había experimentado una revalorización cercana al 3.500%. Cabe destacar que Meta planet, que originalmente era una cadena hotelera, ha cambiado por completo su enfoque empresarial para centrarse en la acumulación de activos digitales, especialmente Bitcoin. Además, la compañía mantiene vínculos con figuras influyentes en la política estadounidense. Eric Trump, hijo del expresidente Donald Trump, fue nombrado asesor de Metaplanet en marzo y participó en la reciente reunión donde se concretó la compra de criptomonedas. Aunque ni él ni la empresa han ofrecido declaraciones públicas, se sabe que la administración Trump tiene como objetivo convertir a EE.UU. en el centro mundial del ecosistema cripto.

BIO: As Co-Founder & CEO of Mode Mobile, Dan Novaes is leading the transformation of how people interact with technology. His “Earn As You Go” software empowers millions of consumers to turn daily habits into passive income.STORY: Dan decided to take the bold move of turning his treasury into a long-term crypto strategy. What started as $2 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum ballooned to $30 million, but the 2022 crash and business pressures forced him to liquidate at low prices—missing out on what could have been a $100 million windfall.LEARNING: Don't chase aggressive expansion without a clear path to profitability. Stick to your core business. Separate your business from speculative bets. “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Take a moment of deep thinking every week when things are going well, think about everything that could go wrong, and then reassess your position.”Dan Novaes Guest profileAs Co-Founder & CEO of Mode Mobile, Dan Novaes is leading the transformation of how people interact with technology. His “Earn As You Go” software empowers millions of consumers to turn daily habits into passive income. Under his leadership, Mode achieved 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022 and ranked #1 in Software on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 in North America.Worst investment everIn today's rapidly evolving and highly interconnected business world, companies are increasingly relying on external partnerships to drive growth and innovation.Dan's story begins in the early days of crypto. His company had raised funds through Bitcoin and Ethereum when Bitcoin was valued at just a few thousand dollars and Ethereum at only a few hundred. This early success in the crypto market was a testament to the potential for significant growth that these investments could bring.Once the business had a comfortable runway, Dan made a bold move—he turned their treasury, which is the accumulated profits and cash reserves, into a long-term crypto strategy, much like what companies like MicroStrategy would later become known for.Riding the waveAt first, the decision looked genius. That $1–2 million ballooned into $30 million. Dan was on CNBC, celebrating as Bitcoin crossed $10,000, and his company seemed unstoppable. They never had to fundraise again—until the 2022 crash.The crashIn 2022, Bitcoin's price fell from $63,000 to $18,000, and pressure mounted. Compounding the pain, many of Dan's advertising partners went bankrupt, leaving unpaid bills. This was a significant blow to the company's financial stability. To survive, Dan's company had to liquidate almost the entire treasury at depressed prices.Had Dan managed his growth and financials more cautiously, that crypto position could have grown to $100 million or more. Instead, he walked away with far less—and a bitter lesson.Lessons learnedGrowth at all costs is dangerous. Chasing aggressive expansion without a clear path to profitability can leave your company vulnerable when market conditions shift.Profit-taking matters. Riding the wave without ever securing gains turned paper wealth into a forced liquidation.Stick to your core business.Discipline is everything. Not letting market euphoria dictate strategy is critical to long-term survival.Andrew's takeawaysSeparate your business from speculative bets. Don't gamble with your excess cash on foreign exchange trades. Instead, hedge your risks because...

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Today's Big Money Bingo dives into one of the hottest yet most misleading products hitting the market: YieldMax ETFs. These funds are exploding in popularity across social media, with influencers pitching eye-popping dividend payouts that sound too good to be true. The problem? They are. In this video, we break down exactly why YieldMax ETFs are absolute garbage for long-term investors, even though they look like the ultimate passive income play.You've probably seen posts where people flash monthly payouts of $3,200, $10,000, or even $20,000, making it seem like a financial cheat code. The reality is much harsher. We dig into examples with Palantir, Tesla, and MicroStrategy, showing how these covered call ETFs systematically underperform their underlying stocks. Even when they pay dividends, the share price keeps collapsing, leaving investors with the illusion of income while their capital evaporates.We pull up charts and real data to prove the point. For instance, while Palantir was up over 100%, PLTY – the Palantir YieldMax ETF – was down more than 16% year-to-date. Tesla's story is even worse, with TSLA up significantly while TSLY crashed 45%. This isn't passive income, it's robbing Peter to pay Paul.You'll also see how YieldMax uses synthetic positions to sell at-the-money covered calls, locking in limited upside while leaving investors fully exposed to the downside. The dividends may look impressive at first, but they shrink rapidly over time. TSLY, for example, once paid $2 a month in distributions and now pays just 30 cents. That's an 85% drop in less than three years, proving these payouts follow an asymptotic curve toward zero.We break down why these products always lag behind the stocks they're tied to, why distributions steadily decline, and how the tax structure makes things even worse. Remember, dividends are taxable immediately, meaning you're paying taxes on “income” while your account value sinks. It's the opposite of smart investing.Beyond the hard truths about YieldMax ETFs, we highlight what actually works: finding stocks with both strong price appreciation and reliable dividends. That way the dividend becomes the icing on the cake, not a distraction from a collapsing share price. Expect to hear about proper risk management, market breadth, and why “don't buy the dip” is more than just a catchphrase—it's a survival strategy.This session is packed with powerful insights for traders and investors who want to avoid Wall Street traps and focus on strategies that actually build wealth. If you've been tempted by promises of 50% to 100% annual returns from high-yield ETFs, this breakdown shows the reality behind the hype and how to protect yourself from capital destruction disguised as income.➡️ Why YieldMax ETFs are a trap➡️ Real examples with Tesla, Palantir, and MicroStrategy➡️ How covered call ETFs destroy capital while paying “income”➡️ Why dividends shrink every year➡️ The tax trap hidden in high-yield ETFs➡️ What real dividend investing should look like➡️ Why proper discipline beats flashy payouts every timeWatch until the end to see the full breakdown and to learn why YieldMax ETFs are the latest Wall Street gimmick designed to look good but fail investors in the long run.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

On the eve of Microstrategy potentially being added to the S&P 500 NASDAQ makes an interesting clarification - is this an attack on Michael Saylor or something more?

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.The market never stops surprising traders, and this video breaks down exactly what's happening beneath the surface right now. We dive into why you never want to short a bull market, how sideways price action since mid-August is masking deeper volatility, and why breadth tells a very different story than the headline indexes. You'll see how major players like Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Walmart, and Google are shaping the market while smaller names struggle to keep pace.This session explores how to use tools like the S&P 500 heat map and equal-weighted indexes to cut through the noise. Watching SPY versus RSP gives traders a true picture of market health beyond the mega-cap giants. You'll learn why chasing one-day pops can be a dangerous mistake, with examples like Hims and American Eagle showing how short-term excitement can blind you to the bigger trend.We also dig into OVTLYR's new outlier zones, which categorize stocks by volatility and outcome tendencies. Tesla, American Eagle, and MicroStrategy are used as real-world case studies so you can see how different profiles play out in live trading. These zones help traders avoid common traps and focus on setups with real potential.Another key focus is the new trading plan that's being tested and refined. Using OVTLYR's fear and greed heat map, the plan is split into two major approaches. Plan A looks at opportunities when SPY's fear and greed score is under 70, while Plan B zeroes in on setups when that score is above 70. Backtests show technology shines when sentiment runs hot, and this framework creates a structured path for traders instead of guessing on headlines.We cover essential concepts like gap and go versus gap and crap, showing how to identify when a breakout is real or when it's likely to fail within days. Case studies with names like Palantir and Celsius illustrate how to apply this strategy in practice so you can avoid being trapped in failed moves.➡️ Why you never short a bull market➡️ The hidden risks behind sideways market action➡️ How SPY vs RSP reveals the truth about market breadth➡️ Outlier zones explained with Tesla, American Eagle, and MicroStrategy➡️ The two-plan framework for trading with OVTLYR's fear and greed scores➡️ Gap and go vs gap and crap setups every trader must know➡️ Why expectancy and structure matter more than single tradesThroughout the video, the emphasis is on expectancy, discipline, and structure. The new OVTLYR 4.0 platform makes it possible to quickly evaluate setups, filter through noise, and trade with confidence. By using outlier zones, sector weightings, and carefully designed trading plans, you'll learn how to tilt the odds in your favor.If you've been frustrated by sideways markets, conflicting signals, or one-off stock moves, this breakdown shows how to get clarity. You'll see why understanding breadth, weighting, and volatility clusters matters more than watching price alone. The tools and examples shared here are designed to help traders cut through distractions, stick to their plan, and maximize expectancy with every trade.Watch until the end for key updates on the trading plan and insights on why OVTLYR's structured approach is a game changer for active traders.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

On this week's Weekly Rollup Ryan and David ask if the cycle top is in and whether alt season is coming, debating if it is time to buy the dip or sell everything while reviewing 30 market signals. ETH ETFs pull in over $3B as Tom Lee buys and Saylor mints more MicroStrategy shares, yet prices remain stuck and treasury premiums compress. Meanwhile the Fed signals a pro-crypto shift, Wyoming unveils a state stablecoin, and New York threatens new taxes, setting up another pivotal week in crypto. ---

At this year's Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, regulators and policymakers made it clear that crypto's role in the U.S. financial system is entering a new chapter. Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman delivered a groundbreaking speech on embracing innovation, SEC Chair Paul Atkins signaled fresh thinking on token regulation, and Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott weighed in on the market structure bill. Wyoming also launched its own state-backed stablecoin, underscoring the state's push to the forefront of digital finance. Plus, we break down market sentiment, MicroStrategy's shifting guidance, and why some analysts see this bull run extending to 2027.

A sharp panel debates Bitcoin's “institutional phase”: BlackRock's ETF as catalyst, SEC policy shifts on in-kind redemptions, and the boom in corporate treasury strategies. They probe Coinbase custody concentration, nationalization risks, Tether's role, and why self-custody remains the antidote. AI's influence on education and CBDCs vs private stablecoins round out a high-signal hour. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: 00:00 - Intro 03:11 - Why BlackRock's spot ETF marked a cultural and capital tipping point.  05:31 - How SEC limits on in-kind redemptions and their reversal, shape market integrity.  08:56 - The difference between MicroStrategy's preferred stock model vs convertible debt.  10:14 - Why concentrated Coinbase custody introduces fragility and what decentralizes it.  12:10 - The political “nationalization” risk and how institutions could be rugged.  17:45 - The case for denominating liabilities in fiat while stacking BTC.  19:50 - Pitfalls of copycat treasury companies timing the market (e.g., short-dated debt).  25:53 - How AI-driven discourse (e.g., Grok) accelerates Bitcoin education.  29:10 - Why private stablecoins (e.g., Tether) may outcompete CBDCs globally.  37:37 - The timeless lesson: make Bitcoin “un-ruggable” via self-custody.

It looks like the market is going on vacation! Well I am too. Today we talk everything from vacation plans to shifting markets. We also cover recent crypto volatility, the resilience of Bitcoin, and concerns over MicroStrategy's stock dilution strategy, framing dips as potential buying opportunities within broader trends. We chat on quirky social trends in China, like “pretend to work” jobs for unemployed youth, and highlight Ray Dalio's view that real estate is a poor investment in today's environment with recent price drops accorss the U.S. Today we discuss... Media narratives often obscure the real developments happening quietly in the background. Stablecoins are emerging as a substitute for the dollar and could diminish banks' central role in the financial system. This shift resembles the fragmented multi-currency era before the creation of the Federal Reserve. Recent crypto markets have been volatile, with Bitcoin showing resilience despite sharp pullbacks. Ray Dalio argued that real estate is a poor investment today due to its interest rate sensitivity and immobility. U.S. real estate markets are already showing significant price declines in several regions. The administration is talking up lower rates, Trump has pushed cuts, and Powell left rates unchanged at the last meeting. Market behavior appears disconnected from economic data, undermining the usefulness of traditional reports. Government statistics are viewed as unreliable, with references to Shadow Stats' alternative takes on CPI history. Given data doubts, the focus should be on how markets and investor sentiment actually react. Seasonally, mid-August to mid-November is typically weak, and the second year of a presidency often underperforms. August and September have historically been the S&P 500's weakest months, while 2025 has so far outperformed typical post-election patterns. Personal spending is slipping, and fast-casual chains' same-store sales have fallen since Q4, suggesting strain. Housing and renovation activity looks softer versus the last five years but closer to pre-2020 norms—a reversion to the mean, not necessarily recession. Student loan and credit-card delinquencies are spiking, hinting at cash-flow stress that clashes with low unemployment data. Tariff revenues jumped from roughly $8B/month to about $29.6B/month, with companies largely absorbing costs so far. Money is chasing select commodities like gold, silver, and uranium, while others like lithium lag and could move with China trade shifts. The dollar sits mid-range historically and could sink on aggressive cuts, though today's “broken” market dynamics muddy typical cause-and-effect. Despite risks, the market's underlying tone is bullish, so a continued climb is possible on favorable policy headlines. Research notes humans rate AI higher when it agrees with them, suggesting systems learn to avoid conflict and may reinforce user beliefs.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | ProCollege Planners Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/market-is-going-on-vacation-739 

Bitcoin may be breaking records again, but this time it's not because of retail frenzy. Search trends, social media chatter, and small-investor activity are all far quieter than they were in 2017 or 2021. The people driving this move aren't hobby traders—they're the biggest institutions and the wealthiest investors on the planet. Look at BlackRock. Larry Fink once dismissed Bitcoin as an “index of money laundering.” Now he's calling it “digital gold,” and his firm's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has become the fastest-growing ETF in history.  It's pulled in nearly $90 billion, representing more than 3% of all the Bitcoin that will ever exist. Those billions aren't coming from TikTok influencers—they're coming from pensions, hedge funds, and the kind of family offices that have multi-generational plans for capital preservation and growth. Even Harvard University has made the leap. Back in 2018, its star economist Kenneth Rogoff said Bitcoin was more likely to hit $100 than $100,000. Today, Harvard's endowment owns more of BlackRock's IBIT than it does Apple stock in its U.S. equity portfolio. That's not just a change of heart—it's a complete reversal in worldview. And of course, there's Michael Saylor, whose MicroStrategy now holds close to 3% of the total future Bitcoin supply, turning a business software company into a corporate Bitcoin vault. This is institutional FOMO. The biggest asset manager on Earth is selling it, elite universities are holding it, corporate treasuries are betting their future on it, and family offices are adding it to the same portfolios that hold their blue-chip stocks and trophy real estate. But institutions aren't the only ones making this move. There's another wave—quieter but just as significant—coming from the ultra-high-net-worth crowd. The centimillionaires.  The people who can wire $10 million into a position without blinking. I've always said: never take financial advice from someone with less money than you. Well, Gary Cardone has a lot more than me—and he's all in on Bitcoin. Gary is part of what they call “smart money.” He's in the same camp as the other ultra-wealthy who aren't just dabbling in crypto—they're making conviction bets.  And when you see people with that kind of capital and that kind of access all moving in the same direction, it's worth listening to why. That's exactly why I sat down with him—to hear, straight from someone in that rarefied circle, why Bitcoin has gone from a curiosity to a core holding.
