WEBVTT 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:03.439 Welcome back to the Bitcoin Street Journal podcast. 00:00:03.819 --> 00:00:07.179 I'm Autumn, and I am literally buzzing with energy 00:00:07.179 --> 00:00:10.179 today because Bitcoin just did something absolutely 00:00:10.179 --> 00:00:12.699 insane. And I'm Darren, here to tell you that 00:00:12.699 --> 00:00:16.140 October 8th, 2025 will go down in Bitcoin history 00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:19.320 as one of the most significant days ever. We've 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.100 got BlackRock making waves, Deutsche Bank orange 00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:25.239 pilling, and Bitcoin demolishing all -time highs 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.199 like they're nothing. Before we dive into this 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.399 absolute tsunami of bullish news, remember to 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.560 visit thebitcoinstreetjournal .com and set up 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.939 your free Nostra profile. The orange pill revolution 00:00:37.939 --> 00:00:40.439 is accelerating and you need to be part of the 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.060 decentralized future. Now, let's get into the 00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:45.200 numbers because what I'm about to tell you is 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.200 going to blow your mind. Bitcoin is currently 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:54.020 sitting at $122 ,584. And before you say... Darren, 00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.479 that doesn't sound like an all time high. Let 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.280 me tell you what happened in the last 24 hours. 00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:05.340 Bitcoin smashed through $126 ,000, a new all 00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:07.980 -time high. The king of cryptocurrencies just 00:01:07.980 --> 00:01:11.159 proved once again why it's the only digital asset 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.799 that matters. Market cap is at $2 .44 trillion. 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.180 That's bigger than most countries' entire economies. 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.140 And Bitcoin dominance? A beautiful 56 .97%. The 00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:25.680 king maintains his throne. While we're seeing 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.219 a slight pullback today, down 1 .45%, this is 00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:31.920 completely normal profit -taking after such a 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.900 massive run. The 24 -hour volume is sitting at 00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:38.920 $80 .4 billion, which shows real institutional 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.719 -grade liquidity. The total crypto market cap 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:46.819 hit $4 .29 trillion, an all -time high. But here's 00:01:46.819 --> 00:01:49.400 the thing, Bitcoin is leading this charge, not 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.459 some random altcoin casino chips. And can we 00:01:52.459 --> 00:01:55.579 talk about what's driving this? It's not retail 00:01:55.579 --> 00:01:59.500 FOMO. It's not meme coin mania. It's institutions 00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:02.500 recognizing that Bitcoin is the hardest money 00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.840 ever created. Exactly. Now let's dive into the 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.139 news that's making traditional finance finally 00:02:08.139 --> 00:02:10.379 understand what we've been saying for years. 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.120 All right. Buckle up because this segment is 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.719 going to be packed. The institutional adoption 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.919 wave isn't coming. It's already here. Let's start 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.240 with the bombshell from Deutsche Bank. They just 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.020 said Bitcoin and gold may both appear on central 00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:28.060 bank balance sheets by 2030. The same institutions 00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:30.780 fighting Bitcoin are now admitting it belongs 00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:33.919 alongside gold as a reserve asset. Deutsche Bank 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.139 cited declining volatility, fading skepticism, 00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:40.419 and US -led adoption as reasons why this is inevitable. 00:02:40.699 --> 00:02:43.319 We've been saying this for years. And while we're 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.020 talking about massive institutions, let's talk 00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:49.180 about BlackRock. Their Bitcoin ETF, iBit, is 00:02:49.180 --> 00:02:52.879 now just a hair away from $100 billion in assets 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.639 under management. $100 billion. This is BlackRock's 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.259 most profitable ETF ever, and it launched less 00:02:59.259 --> 00:03:01.680 than a year ago. Eric Balchenas from Bloomberg 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.659 pointed out that the rest of BlackRock's top 00:03:03.659 --> 00:03:06.520 10 ETFs took decades to build their asset bases. 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.939 And on October 8th alone, US spot Bitcoin ETFs 00:03:10.939 --> 00:03:15.219 saw $1 .19 billion in net inflows. That's the 00:03:15.219 --> 00:03:17.400 second highest single day inflow since launch. 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:21.580 BlackRock's iBit alone pulled in $970 million 00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:24.580 in a single day. That's not retail investors 00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:27.240 buying $100 worth. That's major institutions 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.500 loading up on Bitcoin. But wait, there's more. 00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:35.460 SpaceX, yes, Elon Musk's SpaceX, reportedly holds 00:03:35.460 --> 00:03:38.860 $1 billion worth of Bitcoin. The company that's 00:03:38.860 --> 00:03:41.219 literally building rockets to Mars understands 00:03:41.219 --> 00:03:43.979 that the most important mission is escaping Earth's 00:03:43.979 --> 00:03:47.400 fiat monetary system. Strategy continues their 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.060 relentless accumulation. Their Bitcoin treasury 00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:53.479 is now valued at nearly $80 billion, putting 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.199 them alongside Amazon, Google and Microsoft in 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.060 terms of cash reserves. And they're ranked as 00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:00.300 the fifth. largest corporate treasury among S 00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:03.560 &P 500 companies. A company built entirely on 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.879 a Bitcoin standard is competing with tech giants. 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.219 Meanwhile, Robinhood is joining the S &P 500, 00:04:09.419 --> 00:04:12.180 though strategy missed out this time. The fact 00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:14.780 that crypto forward companies are entering the 00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:17.920 most prestigious stock index shows how far we've 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.569 come. Let's rapid fire some more corporate treasury 00:04:20.569 --> 00:04:23.029 news because there's just so much happening. 00:04:23.350 --> 00:04:27.410 Bitmine now holds over 2 .83 million ETH tokens 00:04:27.410 --> 00:04:30.670 with total crypto and cash holdings of $13 .4 00:04:30.670 --> 00:04:34.389 billion. Though honestly, I wish they'd just 00:04:34.389 --> 00:04:37.589 buy Bitcoin instead. We'll roast that decision 00:04:37.589 --> 00:04:42.490 later. KindlyMD just issued $250 million in convertible 00:04:42.490 --> 00:04:44.649 debt to buy more Bitcoin for their treasury. 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:49.060 Orange BTC, South America's largest Bitcoin treasury 00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:52.500 company, is now live and trading on the B3 Brazilian 00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:56.379 stock exchange. Bitcoin adoption is going global. 00:04:56.779 --> 00:05:00.019 And Anthony Pompliano's ProCap BTC just appointed 00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:02.339 a former U .S. House Financial Services Committee 00:05:02.339 --> 00:05:06.120 chair as senior advisor. This is serious institutional 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.470 infrastructure being built. The corporate world 00:05:08.470 --> 00:05:10.889 is waking up to what Michael Saylor figured out 00:05:10.889 --> 00:05:14.009 years ago. Bitcoin is the best Treasury Reserve 00:05:14.009 --> 00:05:17.370 asset in human history. The regulatory landscape 00:05:17.370 --> 00:05:20.370 is shifting faster than ever, and it's overwhelmingly 00:05:20.370 --> 00:05:23.870 Bitcoin positive. The SEC, under Chair Atkins, 00:05:24.050 --> 00:05:26.870 has completely scrapped Gary Gensler's crypto 00:05:26.870 --> 00:05:29.829 enforcement agenda. The days of regulation by 00:05:29.829 --> 00:05:33.819 enforcement are over. Atkins is aiming to formalize 00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:37.480 an innovation exemption by the end of 2025, which 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.220 would let crypto projects experiment under supervision 00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:43.180 instead of facing immediate lawsuits. Though 00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:45.660 with the current government shutdown, that timeline 00:05:45.660 --> 00:05:49.040 might slip to early 2026. But the important thing 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.600 is the direction towards clarity, not hostility. 00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:55.699 The SEC has also approved the generic listing 00:05:55.699 --> 00:05:58.060 standard that will greatly accelerate the approval 00:05:58.060 --> 00:06:00.839 process for crypto ETFs. We're going to see a 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.120 flood of new products. Canary just filed S -1 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.420 amendments for Litecoin and Hedera, HBAR, spot 00:06:07.420 --> 00:06:11.019 ETFs with finalized tickers and fees. Bloomberg's 00:06:11.019 --> 00:06:14.120 Eric Balkchunas says this is typically the final 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.230 step before launch. Though let's be real. Do 00:06:17.230 --> 00:06:20.009 we really need ETFs for every random altcoin? 00:06:20.290 --> 00:06:22.910 Bitcoin ETFs are printing money because Bitcoin 00:06:22.910 --> 00:06:25.810 is the only cryptocurrency with true scarcity 00:06:25.810 --> 00:06:28.769 and decentralization. Fair point. But the regulatory 00:06:28.769 --> 00:06:31.550 acceptance of crypto as a legitimate asset class 00:06:31.550 --> 00:06:35.490 is huge for Bitcoin. Rising tide lift all boats, 00:06:35.589 --> 00:06:38.689 even if most of them are leaky. The Bank of England 00:06:38.689 --> 00:06:41.290 is reconsidering its proposed stablecoin caps 00:06:41.290 --> 00:06:44.930 after intense industry pushback. Regulators worldwide 00:06:44.930 --> 00:06:47.329 are realizing they can't stop this technology. 00:06:47.689 --> 00:06:51.269 And get this, NASDAQ just filed with the SEC 00:06:51.269 --> 00:06:55.110 for tokenization of stocks. Traditional finance 00:06:55.110 --> 00:06:57.350 is starting to understand that blockchain settlement 00:06:57.350 --> 00:07:01.129 is the future. Senator Lummis continues pushing 00:07:01.129 --> 00:07:03.850 for a strategic Bitcoin reserve, saying acquisition 00:07:03.850 --> 00:07:07.079 of funds can start... any time. Imagine the U 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.879 .S. government hodling Bitcoin alongside gold. 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.759 The political will is there, the technology is 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.680 proven, and the institutions are buying. Bitcoin 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.089 is inevitable. Let's talk about the technical 00:07:20.089 --> 00:07:22.250 side because the Bitcoin network is stronger 00:07:22.250 --> 00:07:25.550 than ever. Bitcoin exchange net flows just hit 00:07:25.550 --> 00:07:27.670 a three -year low. Do you know what that means? 00:07:27.949 --> 00:07:30.370 People are taking their Bitcoin off exchanges 00:07:30.370 --> 00:07:34.290 and into self -custody. Not your keys, not your 00:07:34.290 --> 00:07:36.910 Bitcoin is finally becoming mainstream wisdom. 00:07:37.250 --> 00:07:40.189 This signals strongholder conviction and reduced 00:07:40.189 --> 00:07:43.550 selling pressure. Long -term holders are accumulating, 00:07:43.589 --> 00:07:47.449 not distributing. Over 95 % of Bitcoin's circulating 00:07:47.449 --> 00:07:52.009 supply is now in profit with BTC above $117K. 00:07:52.170 --> 00:07:55.610 But here's the crazy part. People aren't selling. 00:07:55.889 --> 00:07:58.810 That's because Bitcoiners understand time preference. 00:07:59.069 --> 00:08:01.709 We're not here for short term gains. We're here 00:08:01.709 --> 00:08:04.189 because Bitcoin is the hardest money humanity 00:08:04.189 --> 00:08:07.089 has ever created. The Bitcoin network mining 00:08:07.089 --> 00:08:10.829 difficulty is at an all time high. The network 00:08:10.829 --> 00:08:13.750 has never been more secure. Miners are holding 00:08:13.750 --> 00:08:16.060 more Bitcoin than they've held in months. The 00:08:16.060 --> 00:08:19.459 people closest to the protocol are bullish. And 00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:22.000 while we're talking about network strength, let's 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.620 mention that network network adoption continues 00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:27.939 growing organically. No marketing campaigns needed, 00:08:28.019 --> 00:08:31.720 just real utility driving real adoption. Okay, 00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:33.840 we have to talk about gold because something 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:38.639 massive just happened. Gold hit $4 ,000 for the 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.620 first time ever, a new all -time high for the 00:08:41.620 --> 00:08:44.379 yellow metal. And of course, the Bitcoin skeptics 00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:47.240 are out in full force saying, see, gold is the 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.679 real safe haven. Bitcoin is losing the digital 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.299 gold race. Let's break down why this narrative 00:08:53.299 --> 00:08:56.600 is completely backwards. First, gold hitting 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.940 $4 ,000 is bullish for Bitcoin. Exactly. It proves 00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:03.059 that people are looking for alternatives to fiat 00:09:03.059 --> 00:09:05.419 currency. When central banks are printing money 00:09:05.419 --> 00:09:09.120 like crazy, both gold and Bitcoin benefit. But 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.879 here's the key difference. You can't send gold 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.600 across the internet. You can't verify gold's 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.159 authenticity with cryptographic proof. You can't 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.629 easily divide gold into Satoshis. Bitcoin is 00:09:20.629 --> 00:09:23.769 everything gold wishes it could be. It's scarce 00:09:23.769 --> 00:09:26.309 like gold, but it's also portable, divisible, 00:09:26.409 --> 00:09:30.009 verifiable, and resistant to confiscation. Peter 00:09:30.009 --> 00:09:32.649 Schiff is out there predicting Bitcoin will crash 00:09:32.649 --> 00:09:35.830 while gold soars. But let's remember, Bitcoin 00:09:35.830 --> 00:09:41.929 is up from $16 ,000 to $122 ,000 in just a few 00:09:41.929 --> 00:09:47.029 years. Gold went from $1 ,600 to $4 ,000. Bitcoin 00:09:47.029 --> 00:09:52.110 is up 662 percent, while gold is up 150 percent. 00:09:52.309 --> 00:09:54.649 And Bitcoin did it in a fraction of the time 00:09:54.649 --> 00:09:57.690 with a fraction of the market cap. The fact that 00:09:57.690 --> 00:10:00.429 both are rising proves that we're in a debasement 00:10:00.429 --> 00:10:03.250 trade. Governments are destroying the value of 00:10:03.250 --> 00:10:06.309 fiat money and smart investors are fleeing to 00:10:06.309 --> 00:10:10.110 hard assets. Bitcoin and gold can both succeed, 00:10:10.289 --> 00:10:12.590 but only one of them can be sent to someone in 00:10:12.590 --> 00:10:14.870 another country in 10 minutes without asking 00:10:14.870 --> 00:10:17.629 permission. Deutsche Bank agrees with us. They're 00:10:17.629 --> 00:10:20.409 saying Bitcoin will be on central bank balance 00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:24.870 sheets by 2030 alongside gold. The debate is 00:10:24.870 --> 00:10:28.029 over. All right. It's time for everyone's favorite 00:10:28.029 --> 00:10:31.889 segment, the all -coin roast, where we remind 00:10:31.889 --> 00:10:34.990 everyone why Bitcoin is king and everything else 00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:38.830 is just complicated. Ethereum is up, approaching 00:10:38.830 --> 00:10:42.570 $5 ,000, but it's still not at its 2021 all -time 00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:45.970 high. Bitcoin is making new all -time highs, 00:10:46.110 --> 00:10:48.389 showing the difference between a scarce asset 00:10:48.389 --> 00:10:51.450 and one with unlimited supply. And all of these 00:10:51.450 --> 00:10:55.289 Ethereum killers, Solana, Cardano, promising 00:10:55.289 --> 00:10:59.370 to be faster and cheaper, miss the point. Bitcoin's 00:10:59.370 --> 00:11:02.250 job is to be the most secure, decentralized, 00:11:02.889 --> 00:11:06.320 hardest money ever created. Fast transactions 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.700 are for Lightning Network, not the base layer. 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.399 Altcoin projects try to be everything, money, 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.820 smart contracts, NFTs, DeFi protocols, and end 00:11:14.820 --> 00:11:17.820 up doing nothing well. Bitcoin does one thing 00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:21.759 perfectly, be unstoppable, sound money. Speaking 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:25.000 of which, let's talk about XRP. It's been pumping 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.840 lately and the XRP army is celebrating like they've 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.799 won something. It just got flipped by BNB in 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.879 market cap. While BNB has utility, what does 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.899 XRP actually do? Meanwhile, Bitcoin is quietly 00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:41.340 being adopted by those same banks as a treasury 00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:44.860 reserve asset. No permission needed, no lawsuits, 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.350 no CEO making promises. And let's not forget 00:11:48.350 --> 00:11:51.990 about all these meme coins, Dogecoin, Pepe, Bonk. 00:11:51.990 --> 00:11:55.049 It's gambling, not investing. If your investment 00:11:55.049 --> 00:11:58.169 thesis depends on a tweet, you're playing roulette. 00:11:58.269 --> 00:12:00.950 The beautiful thing about Bitcoin is its simplicity. 00:12:01.450 --> 00:12:04.929 21 million coins, proof of work consensus, no 00:12:04.929 --> 00:12:09.580 CEO, no marketing team, no pre -mine. While altcoin 00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:12.799 projects are having governance drama, token unlock 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.320 controversies and founder disputes, Bitcoin just 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.259 keeps working block after block every 10 minutes 00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:23.360 for 16 years straight. Remember, if it has a 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.039 marketing budget, it's not decentralized. If 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.860 it has a foundation managing the protocol, it's 00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:32.440 not truly permissionless. Bitcoin has none of 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.360 these problems. Before we wrap up, let's take 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.559 a moment to understand why all these institutions 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.820 are suddenly loading up on Bitcoin. It's not 00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:44.940 just about number go up. These are sophisticated 00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:48.299 treasury managers at major corporations making 00:12:48.299 --> 00:12:51.899 calculated decisions. First, it's about scarcity. 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.159 Every publicly traded company has access to the 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.519 same playbook. Buy shares, issue bonds, hold 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.639 cash, buy real estate. But Bitcoin is the only 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.379 asset with provable mathematical scarcity. Only 00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:09.059 21 million will ever exist. And that cap is enforced 00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:12.320 by cryptography, not human promises. Second, 00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:15.259 it's about inflation protection. When governments 00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:18.360 print trillions of dollars, cash becomes toxic. 00:13:18.580 --> 00:13:22.039 Your treasury is literally losing value every 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.840 day. Strategies, Bitcoin holdings appreciated 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:30.700 by $3 .9 billion in Q3 2025 alone. Show me a 00:13:30.700 --> 00:13:33.820 cash account that did that. Third, it's about 00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:37.059 network effects. The more institutions that adopt 00:13:37.059 --> 00:13:40.559 Bitcoin, the safer it becomes for the next institution 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.539 to adopt Bitcoin. When Strategy does it, they're 00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:46.860 crazy. When MicroStrategy and Tesla do it, they're 00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:50.019 visionary. When MicroStrategy, Tesla, SpaceX, 00:13:50.179 --> 00:13:52.980 and dozens of other companies do it, it's prudent 00:13:52.980 --> 00:13:55.820 treasury management. Fourth, it's about taking 00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:58.700 responsibility for your own monetary future. 00:13:59.389 --> 00:14:02.169 Holding dollars means trusting politicians not 00:14:02.169 --> 00:14:04.909 to debase the currency. Holding Bitcoin means 00:14:04.909 --> 00:14:08.029 trusting mathematics, cryptography, and decentralized 00:14:08.029 --> 00:14:11.769 consensus. Which would you trust? The institutions 00:14:11.769 --> 00:14:13.730 that are moving early are going to look like 00:14:13.730 --> 00:14:16.870 geniuses in 10 years. The ones that wait are 00:14:16.870 --> 00:14:19.169 going to be explaining to shareholders why they 00:14:19.169 --> 00:14:21.570 missed the biggest wealth transfer in history. 00:14:21.889 --> 00:14:25.879 What an incredible day for Bitcoin. Let's recap 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:30.320 the absolute tsunami of bullish news. Bitcoin 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:34.659 smashed through $126 ,000 to new all -time highs. 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.799 BlackRock's iBit is about to hit $100 billion. 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.970 ETF inflows are breaking records. Deutsche Bank 00:14:41.970 --> 00:14:44.389 says Bitcoin will be on central bank balance 00:14:44.389 --> 00:14:47.929 sheets by 2030. SpaceX holds a billion dollars 00:14:47.929 --> 00:14:50.850 in Bitcoin. Corporate treasuries are going orange. 00:14:51.110 --> 00:14:53.789 The regulatory environment is improving. The 00:14:53.789 --> 00:14:56.309 SEC is pivoting toward clarity. The political 00:14:56.309 --> 00:14:59.549 will is building for a strategic Bitcoin reserve. 00:15:00.250 --> 00:15:02.929 The network is stronger than ever. Holders are 00:15:02.929 --> 00:15:05.990 accumulating. Exchange balances are at three 00:15:05.990 --> 00:15:08.750 -year lows. And most importantly, none of this 00:15:08.750 --> 00:15:12.230 was an accident. Bitcoin was designed to be exactly 00:15:12.230 --> 00:15:14.990 what it's becoming, the global reserve asset 00:15:14.990 --> 00:15:18.710 for the digital age.

Most importantly, not your 00:15:34.230 --> 00:15:37.590 keys, not your Bitcoin. Take custody of your 00:15:37.590 --> 00:15:40.730 own wealth. Be your own bank. The 21 million 00:15:40.730 --> 00:15:43.370 Bitcoin cap doesn't care about your skepticism. 00:15:43.570 --> 00:15:46.049 The proof of work consensus doesn't care about 00:15:46.049 --> 00:15:50.049 your opinion. Bitcoin is inevitable. Keep stacking 00:15:50.049 --> 00:15:53.429 sats, keep hodling through volatility, and keep 00:15:53.429 --> 00:15:55.629 spreading the orange bill.
