“Um and so really you know the the reason for the breakdown here in my mind is that uh we had a decline in risk appetite. If Bitcoin traded the way that its monetary properties allow it to, then it would have followed gold uh and would currently be well above $200,000 or even higher, but because it's more tightly correlated to things like software stocks, QQQ, other really high beta risk names in the equity market, then that's what's caused the selloff here. So, I think, you know, looking at this chart, there are two schools of thought. School of thought number one is that Bitcoin will never be a debasement hedge. It's clearly failed. uh in school of thought number two is that Bitcoin is just severely mispriced relative to how it should trade. So if you look at this chart, this is a re even if it's not like an actionable chart uh in terms of making trades, one thing that it does do is it illustrates how wide thisformational gap is. You and I both know and chances are the listeners of this show understand that Bitcoin performs all of gold's functions but better.”

“One level I'm watching closely is the 200week moving average, which is fitting that it's sitting around $58,000. 58K became a meme during the 2021 cycle as rock solid support ... Could we go there? Yes, it's possible. Could we go even lower than that briefly? Also, yes.”

“If you just look at the global gold ETFs, they currently hold about $200 billion in assets. A 10% reallocation into Bitcoin would move $20 billion. At current pricing, that buys around 230,000 BTC, more than the entire monthly issuance for at least 3 years. And based on the empirical elasticity data, from 2024 to 2025, about a8% price move per $1 billion net inflow into BTC. That means that you get a raw 16% Bitcoin price uplift, which means that Bitcoin would move from the 86,000 to 89,000 range right now into the perhaps 105,000 to 110,000 range. But reflexivity is the point. Once inflows begin, we know that convexity will just attract more capital, which drives the price, which forces more inflows. It's not linear. It is a regime break. The real rotation is going to begin when liquidity returns and mandates shift from preservation to convexity 2026 is really starting to shape up exactly like 2020 and 2016 with one big caveat. The capital base is a lot larger this time and liquidity instruments are actually a lot stronger as well and that means the reflexivity is probably going to be faster. So if you're positioned right now, I think that you're early.”
Target: $105,000

“history's elasticity math is pinning 170K to 200K Bitcoin price targets inside an 18-month window, assuming that gold continues to hold its throne.”

“It is about how large it becomes when the tens of millions of Vanguard accounts suddenly gain access to it. Now, I'm going to show you what those numbers mean when the capital flows are set free at scale. Now, I want to quantify what Vanguard's access actually means in the real world. These three scenarios are not my fantasies, people. These are the straightforward allocation math based on a $3 trillion self-directed brokerage base and the flow patterns that already exist in every other asset class. The conservative case assumes a $.25% allocation. That level is so minimal it wouldn't even show up in most client reviews. Yet, it still sends $4.5 billion into Bitcoin ETFs and roughly $4.5 billion into IBIT alone. That alone would absorb about $43,000 BTC. That is the smallest scenario and it already distorts supply in a measurable way. The base case uses a.5% allocation. This lands closer to what you get when advisers treat Bitcoin like an emerging asset class rather than a curiosity. And guess what? If you guys didn't see, Bank of America is now recommending their private wealth clients to perhaps recommend 4% of portfolio allocations to Bitcoin.”
Target: $43,000
