SAIFEDEAN AMMOUS: "It's really mind blowing when you think about just how much damage has been done to the world because of fiat money." "What the century would have looked like if we had not had inflation, if we had not had two world wars that had killed so many tens of millions of people." "If we did not have our ability to save destroyed... we'd have so much more wealth, prosperity, productivity, energy consumption... The world would have been a lot better."

JUST IN: Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says, "I think Bitcoin could easily do what gold did, which is run up to 30 trillion." 🚀 "The biggest risk in Bitcoin is nothing to do with the protocol or quantum or anything. It's everything to do with the investors and whether they stick it out through those bull and bear markets." "I think there's still significant upside in this asset, like really material life changing upside... And I think it'll play out over a decade."

NEW: Ray Dalio says a U.S. debt crisis is imminent within the next 3 years. 👀

BREAKING: Michael Saylor's NEW $120T Bitcoin Prediction 🚀 “We're in hypergrowth mode right now.” “The addressable market is hundreds of trillions of dollars, there is no faster better way to make money.”

BREAKING: Stacy Herbert and Max Keiser DEBUNK the recent Bloomberg article about El Salvador moving away from Bitcoin: "El Salvador is Bitcoin country. It is Bitcoin only country."

JUST IN: Lyn Alden says, "We have this kind of a sticky inflation issue and it's the type of inflation that the Fed's tools are not really geared to handle." "There's no appetite among either the voter base or Congress or a president in the US currently to prioritize cutting spending." "I think a lot of this is locked in and nothing stops this train." @KitcoNewsNOW

JUST IN: Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of @HIVEDigital gives his thoughts on the bond markets: “Bitcoin is protecting against failed government policies.” “I monitor the G20 countries fiscal policies and whenever there’s an imbalance Gold would take of, and now it’s Bitcoin.”

Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo calls Bitcoin the “king of collateral”: “It can get transferred 24/7 for pennies, and it can be sold in the billions at 2 a.m. on a Sunday. Risk is actually much better than that of a real estate mortgage lender.” “Whether you are in Madrid or Medellín, you’re getting the same rate at Ledn.” “For the first time we can tap into one of the best capital sources on planet Earth, the U.S. ABS market, and distribute that capital fairly and equally to Bitcoiners across the globe.”

JUST IN: Nico on why the Clarity Act failed: "They don't want Bitcoin integrated into the US financial system because... pension funds, retirees, anyone who has a traditional 60-40 portfolio might start benefiting from number go up technology." "Once they start benefiting from number go up technology, that's very difficult to walk back. That's politically unfeasible. So they had to stop this right now and that's what they did." "If Bitcoin needed any type of regulation, it would defeat the entire purpose of Bitcoin in and of itself."

Bitcoin doesn’t care about your political party.

Strive CIO Ben Werkman says he doesn’t believe Bitcoin is subject to diminishing returns: “I do believe that we’re still early.” "I don't really think we've been confronted with the full weight of the debt crisis that's looming out there." "They're not going to find a way to stop printing the dollar. I don't see a way that the exchange rate goes down. Bitcoin is such a unique and verifiably scarce asset that I think to be able to overlook the value of being able to transact with it globally and frictionlessly across the world, I don't think you can overlook that. It's too powerful." "I would want an allocation to that just to protect myself from the mismanagement of other countries where I have absolutely no control, but it has massive control over the economy within my own borders."

Strive CIO Ben Werkman says, “1-2% into an asset like Bitcoin I still think is probably low.” “The hunt for true scarcity is gonna speed up and I think you’re gonna see those allocations start to pick up.” “There’s gonna be a lot more money in the world because they’re gonna have to find ways to print their way out of this and that likely comes with devaluing the currency.”

Cathie Wood, ARK Invest CEO, on Bitcoin: "We're big bulls on Bitcoin. It's a technology revolution... It's a new global monetary system. And it's the first of its kind in a new asset class. So we think it has miles to go because of those three revolutions." "We think Bitcoin is both a risk off and a risk on asset. So in the environment we see, we believe this ratio will continue to move up and go to all time highs."

Katie Ananina explains how Bitcoin, jurisdictional arbitrage, and a second passport can give individuals greater sovereignty and optionality: “We are holding the asset outside of government control, they can’t seize the asset, but can they seize you?”
