In a recent Bitcoin podcast discussion, the crew analyzed Bitcoin's milestone of reaching $100,000, highlighted by supportive statements from Federal Reserve Chair Powell, Putin, and Trump within 24 hours. Powell's comparison of Bitcoin to gold rather than the dollar was seen as a significant shift in institutional recognition. The crew examined MicroStrategy's convertible bond strategy, now being replicated by other companies, while raising concerns about potential risks for late adopters attempting similar approaches.
The crew debated whether Bitcoin would continue experiencing traditional 80% market crashes, with some arguing that institutional and nation-state buyers might prevent such deep downturns. Key statistics revealed that missing just two best trading days annually would result in -5.9% returns versus 12,000% for holding, emphasizing the importance of long-term investment. As Bitcoin becomes the seventh largest global asset, the crew shared mixed predictions about reaching $1 million by 2025, though many agreed that gold parity (around $500,000) could be achievable with strategic reserve adoption. The consensus viewed this as a crucial transition period for Bitcoin from a speculative asset to an established store of value.
