Bitcoin Price Will EXPLODE Well Before 2030 Like Nothing You Have EVER Seen. Luke Mikic
You have no idea how fast price will rise in the coming months and years. Supply shock imminent.
The conversation covers the importance of online presence and marketing for Bitcoin businesses, the role of education in driving adoption, and the different adoption curves for Bitcoin. Luke emphasizes the need for businesses to have an online strategy and highlights the exponential trends of Bitcoin adoption, digital nomadism, and self-employment. He also discusses the two adoption curves for Bitcoin: medium of exchange and store of value, and how the latter is being driven by institutional interest. Luke predicts a future where the masses have less Bitcoin than the big players, but emphasizes the importance of educating the masses to get in early. Bitcoin expert Luke discusses his belief that we will see a significant price increase in Bitcoin before 2030, based on adoption curves and the involvement of big players like Michael Saylor and nation states. He also shares his conspiracy theory about BlackRock potentially launching an attack on Bitcoin through a hard fork. Luke emphasizes the importance of not blindly trusting government and highlights the cycles and societal changes that are currently unfolding. Luke discusses the lack of time and incentive for people to question the broken fiat system and government control. He highlights the situation in Argentina as an example of how people wake up to the flaws of the system when faced with extreme inflation. Luke also shares his experiences traveling the world and the best Bitcoin adoption places he has encountered. He emphasizes the importance of community and the need for geographical and financial sovereignty. Luke's journey into Bitcoin started with a desire to get rich, but it quickly turned into a deep dive into the technology and its potential. He is dedicated to learning and teaching others about Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Price Will EXPLODE Well Before 2030 Like Nothing You Have EVER Seen, Here Is EXACTLY Why.

Ben Justman: The ultra wealthy's take on bitcoin as money learning through a Bitcoin wine business
Ben was gracious enough to sit down with me and talk about his successes and failures in growing his wine business and the advantages bitcoin has given him. He talked about the entrepreneurial lessons he has learned along with stories from selling to the ultra rich and how much they ask about bitcoin. Loved having someone putting in the real proof of work on the show and actively moving through the fiat to bitcoin conversion in his business in such a rapid period of time. Thanks brother for all you do pushing forward bitcoin adoption. 🫡

Rejection of God leads you to fiat? Acceptance of truth leads you to Bitcoin? Andy Flattery
Thank you Andy Flattery for coming on the show and answering some hard questions about things that almost no one REALLY wants to speak about, even bitcoiners...Good versus evil.
The true battle of our time. Will the battle for sound money be won by the good guys and used for justice and abundance or will we succumb to the evils of fiat and central bank digital currencies?
Andy Flattery: Rejection of God leads you to fiat? Acceptance of truth leads you to #Bitcoin?
Summary
In their conversation, Brandon Gentile and Andy Flattery explore the intersection of Bitcoin and Catholicism, discussing the challenges of introducing Bitcoin to the Catholic Church and the importance of separating faith from politics. They address the sinfulness of fiat currency, the need for Catholics to protect life, and the influence of progressivism in the Church. They highlight Bitcoin's potential to align with Catholic values. The discussion also covers financial topics, including Flattery's journey as an investment advisor, trends in the investment world, the importance of finding high-return investments, and the role of marketing and education in Bitcoin adoption. They also touch on societal decline, faith, family, integrity, and notable figures like Satoshi Nakamoto, Elon Musk, and Candace Owens.

Do Donald Trump & Joe Biden REALLY love Bitcoin now? Texas Blockchain Council President Lee Bratcher
The conversation between Brandon Gentile and Lee Bratcher covers various topics related to Bitcoin mining and its impact on the energy grid, with a focus on the recent events in Texas. They discuss the involvement of Bitcoin miners in the Texas grid, the challenges they face in the regulatory environment, and the importance of educating politicians about mining. They also touch on the demographic breakdown of Bitcoin ownership in Texas and the potential impact of Bitcoin on the US dollar as a reserve currency. The conversation concludes with an explanation of ERCOT and the role of market forces in stabilizing the grid. Bitcoin mining in Texas is predominantly powered by natural gas, with wind and solar contributing on certain days. Bitcoin miners play a crucial role in stabilizing the grid by being a demand-side battery, helping to decongest the grid and providing flexibility during low voltage events. Bitcoin mining also has positive environmental impacts, such as utilizing flare gas that would otherwise be vented into the atmosphere. In Texas, Bitcoin mining has transformed rural communities by creating jobs and doubling the tax base. The Texas Blockchain Council advocates for the Bitcoin and blockchain industry in Texas and works to make Texas the jurisdiction of choice for digital assets.
