Episode notes
Bitcoin Bubble at Peak Mania
- The Bitcoin conference's scale and hype resemble the 2006 mortgage conference, marking a peak of mania.
- Bitcoin's mass adoption and government involvement suggest the speculative bubble is near its end.
Bitcoin Adoption Limits
- Though 5% global Bitcoin ownership sounds large, it is mainly concentrated in America and speculative rather than utilitarian.
- Bitcoin's limited adoption and lack of real use show a market penetration close to its peak.
Gold's Enduring Value
- Gold remains superior to Bitcoin as sound money due to its intrinsic value and long history.
- The value of gold reflects fiat devaluation, with central banks increasing gold reserves as dollar dominance fades.
