Bitcoin Is Replacing Gold, Featuring Mike McGlone of Bloomberg Intelligence

The last time Mike McGlone appeared on The Wolf Of All Streets Podcast, Bitcoin was sub $10k. But even at these low prices, Mike’s sentiment was infectiously optimistic. With current prices sitting almost 6x that level, Mike continues to envision a future where Bitcoin is a global reserve asset, ultimately surpassing $100,000. Although this will likely require an ETF approval, the roadmap is already drawn out and investors are slowly beginning to realize the incredible value opportunity this presents.Follow Mike McGlone: ​@mikemcglone11This episode explores:Learning from the trading pitsTesla selling BitcoinCounter trading your sentimentRunning a Bitcoin nodeLearning to take profitVolatility as opportunityThe ubiquity of DogeLeaving gold for BitcoinFeeding the market GodsDeflationary technology---VoyagerThis episode is brought to you by Voyager, your new favorite crypto broker.

Bitcoin is better than Gold with Ari Paul, CIO of BlockTower Capital

One of crypto’s most trusted voices of reason, Ari Paul, is gifted with the ability to stay neutral and logical while many others swing wildly between euphoria and depression.
