    00:01 hey everyone is bitcoin about to crash
    00:04 or is it about to shoot for the moon and
    00:06 is there any way of knowing let’s talk
    00:08 about that okay so over the last 48
    00:11 hours there’s been a number of people
    00:13 that have weighed in on what they think
    00:15 is going to happen in the very near term
    00:18 you’ve got the jack morers m- a l l e r
    00:21 s with the jack mer show he’s the uh ceo
    00:23 and founder of strike
    00:26 ske so his podcast episode on uh mailbag
    00:30 monday the jack maller show um which you
    00:32 can find on youtube i posted the youtube
    00:34 link and i posted the podcast link a
    00:36 couple minutes ago it’s the same thing
    00:38 it’s just one’s on youtube one’s on
    00:39 podcast he goes through why basically
    00:42 the federal government keeps telling
    00:44 people they’re about to print a ton of
    00:46 money and i agree with him but on the
    00:49 flip side so you know that school of
    00:51 thought says “hey a huge amount of money
    00:53 printing is about to start happening.”
    00:55 and the federal government is
    00:57 telegraphing that every which way and
    01:00 what matters most is how much bitcoin
    01:02 you own before that massive mega print
    01:05 of money like it matters a lot um but on
    01:08 the reverse side of things my favorite
    01:10 analyst one
    01:14 second my favorite analyst which is
    01:16 james czech who goes by checkmate um is
    01:20 more cautious he’s like “hey you know
    01:22 back in 2021 we had the sort of double
    01:24 top where it you know it it topped at
    01:26 $64,000 in april and then it topped at
    01:30 $69,000 in november and you know there’s
    01:33 a lot of similarities to the the
    01:35 patterns bitcoin is going through now as
    01:37 compared to that.” and uh then you’ve
    01:39 got safedine amos who wrote the bitcoin
    01:42 standard basically saying look you know
    01:45 bitcoin goes through these uh four-year
    01:47 having cycles um where you know it tends
    01:51 to go through this parabolic run and
    01:53 then a major price correction and then
    01:55 you know it does it and each each high
    01:56 is higher and each low is higher so it’s
    01:59 always just going up and to the right
    02:01 but it’s with that volatility and uh i
    02:04 posted that link as well i posted all of
    02:06 these links and uh natalie brunell who’s
    02:08 interviewing him says “wait but we’re
    02:10 only at like 100 right now as i record
    02:12 this
    02:14 105,500
    02:16 105500.” um so natalie is saying um “hey
    02:21 safeodine but like we haven’t gone
    02:23 through this huge parabolic run.” he was
    02:24 like “well we still might we we might go
    02:26 we might run up to $200,000 this year
    02:29 but after we do or if we do there’s
    02:32 going to be a significant price
    02:33 correction because the demand just can’t
    02:35 keep up with that so the question is
    02:36 what is about to happen and the answer
    02:38 is i don’t know and neither does jack
    02:41 morers neither does natalie bernell
    02:43 neither does safety and amus neither
    02:44 does james czech nobody knows everybody
    02:47 is speculating what is going to happen
    02:50 now what do you do in a situation like
    02:52 this when nobody knows what’s about to
    02:54 happen nobody knows if there’s going to
    02:56 be a price correction nobody knows if
    02:58 there’s going to be huge run i can tell
    02:60 you what i do i buy more bitcoin why do
    03:02 i buy more bitcoin because i only know
    03:04 with cert certainty that the in the long
    03:07 run bitcoin will outperform everything
    03:09 that’s all i know that’s all i know with
    03:11 certainty is that it’s going to
    03:11 outperform everything and the only way i
    03:14 can act on that is by buying bitcoin so
    03:17 my most recent significant uh bitcoin
    03:19 purchase was for uh $14,000
    03:23 uh which i did a video about $14,000
    03:25 like a week or two back at a price of i
    03:27 think it was
    03:28 $109,000 so we’re technically $4,000
    03:31 below the price i paid for for $14,000
    03:34 would i make that purchase again if i
    03:36 could rewind time yes of course i would
    03:38 i want bitcoin not us dollars if river i
    03:42 bought it on river if river sent me an
    03:45 email notice which they have not and
    03:46 i’ve never gotten one of these but if
    03:47 they sent me an email notice saying “hey
    03:49 somehow your tra your purchase didn’t
    03:51 actually go through here’s your $14,000
    03:53 sitting in cash what do you want to do
    03:55 with it?” again that’s never happened
    03:56 but if it did what would i do i would
    03:59 immediately buy $14,000 of bitcoin so i
    04:02 am doing that because i am certain in
    04:04 the long term i am not certain in the
    04:06 short term now there’s a couple of
    04:09 expenses coming up uh one i signed the
    04:13 contract for this $20,000 whole house
    04:15 generator because the power company
    04:18 cannot keep my electricity on to save
    04:19 their lives it’s absolutely crazy so
    04:22 after the power just kept going out for
    04:24 the 12th time this year um i signed for
    04:27 a $20,000 generator now notice i am
    04:30 buying $14,000 of bitcoin and i will owe
    04:34 for a $20,000 generator like that’s
    04:36 going to happen i’m going to have to pay
    04:38 for the $20,000 generator that’s going
    04:40 to happen um but i’m buying $14,000 of
    04:42 bitcoin so is there a possibility that
    04:44 by the time i owe the invoice which
    04:47 would probably be a month from now or
    04:48 something like that by the time i owe
    04:50 that invoice for $20,000 um which they
    04:53 have not build me they haven’t invoiced
    04:55 me so i’ll pay it as soon as i get it
    04:56 but i don’t know when i’m going to get
    04:57 it could be a month from now uh when i
    04:59 pay that invoice let’s call it a month
    05:01 from now bitcoin could be below the
    05:03 $109,000 price that i paid for it well
    05:05 that’s a a risk you take every time you
    05:07 buy an asset you either sit in us
    05:10 dollars knowing it will be worth less
    05:13 but by a small amount or you put it in
    05:16 bitcoin where there’s a good chance
    05:17 it’ll be worth a lot more and some
    05:19 chance it’ll be worth less and that’s
    05:21 the risk you take with every investment
    05:23 and it’s the risk i’ve taken with every
    05:24 single investment uh you know all the
    05:27 time to the present
    05:29 so wondering well wait why don’t you
    05:31 just wait why don’t you just wait and
    05:33 see what happens and then decide one
    05:38 second well because if you wait you miss
    05:41 out on whatever would have happened so i
    05:43 had this exact conundrum back in 2022
    05:47 and early 2023 bitcoin was less than uh
    05:51 $17,000 per coin buy more bitcoin with
    05:55 at a price less than $17,000 at the time
    05:59 back in late 2022 and early 2023
    06:02 everyone thought that a recession was
    06:04 right around the corner i mean everybody
    06:06 everybody was talking like a recession
    06:08 was any day now and i had to make the
    06:11 choice of do i buy $17,000 bitcoin uh
    06:15 and i think it was four months i think
    06:16 more than four months bitcoin was less
    06:19 than $20,000 uh from
    06:22 november either late october november
    06:25 whatever of 2022 to like sometime
    06:28 february march anyway it was like four
    06:29 months four months anyone in the world
    06:32 could buy an unlimited amount of bitcoin
    06:33 at less than $20,000 with with whatever
    06:36 capital they had available to to them
    06:38 and but everybody was talking about a
    06:40 recession being right around the corner
    06:42 and that if there if a recession did hit
    06:44 that it would drag the price of bitcoin
    06:46 down temporarily therefore making people
    06:48 like me regret the fact that i had
    06:50 bought bitcoin at 17,000 or 18 or 19 or
    06:54 whatever less than 20,000 obviously i
    06:57 bought bitcoin at less than 20 i bought
    06:59 it in the 30s i bought it in the 40s i
    07:01 bought it in the ‘ 50s i bought it in
    07:02 the 60s 70s 80s 90s 100s and i think the
    07:05 highest i’ve bought bitcoin for is
    07:07 111,000 i don’t know something like that
    07:09 so i made the decision back then that i
    07:12 am making right now which is i don’t
    07:15 know if a recession’s right around the
    07:17 corner back in 2022 and early 2023 i
    07:20 don’t know if a bitcoin price correction
    07:22 is right around the corner what i do
    07:24 know is if i consistently invest in
    07:25 bitcoin that i uh have radically
    07:28 increased my net worth um as i’ve shared
    07:31 in other videos my cost basis is maybe
    07:34 $30,000 or low $30,000 something like
    07:36 that um which means i’ve more than
    07:39 because i have that’s a cost basis on
    07:41 100% of my liquid net worth i’ve more
    07:43 than tripled my entire liquid net worth
    07:46 now that does not include my stock in
    07:48 prospero which is not liquid and other
    07:50 private company investments but just for
    07:52 liquid assets which is stocks bonds you
    07:54 know that sort of stuff which i own zero
    07:56 i have zero stocks zero bonds zero us
    07:59 dollar cash other than very low sort of
    08:02 barely scrape by don’t bounce a check to
    08:04 a babysitter levels of cash in my bank
    08:06 accounts it’s bitcoin it’s all bitcoin
    08:08 it’s 100% bitcoin now um but i got to
    08:11 100% bitcoin with conviction of just
    08:13 always buying bitcoin always making
    08:15 decisions in including when bitcoin was
    08:18 at $85,000 per coin and i made the
    08:20 decision to finance my new uh 2026 model
    08:24 uh tesla model y uh the 2026 tesla model
    08:28 y i financed that with trustmark at 6%
    08:30 interest for 5 years and i was making a
    08:32 conscious decision that hey at a price
    08:34 of $85,000 i can liquidate bitcoin and
    08:37 buy this tesla or i can finance this
    08:39 tesla at 6% interest and keep the
    08:41 bitcoin and i decided to keep the
    08:43 bitcoin at $85,000 a coin now it’s a
    08:46 $105,000 per coin so the payments i’m
    08:48 making every month are significantly
    08:50 discounted because i’m paying for those
    08:53 tesla payments with $105,000 bitcoin
    08:55 instead of $85,000 bitcoin which was
    08:57 what would have been the case if i had
    08:59 liquidated the bitcoin at the time i
    09:00 actually bought the tesla um but again
    09:04 and bitcoin could dip below $85,000 and
    09:06 for a period of time i could be paying
    09:08 payments on this tesla that are below
    09:11 $85,000 but i don’t know and over the
    09:14 next 5 years i think the vast majority
    09:17 including potentially all the payments i
    09:19 make on this tesla will be above $85,000
    09:21 per coin so there’s just no way of
    09:23 knowing what’s going to happen in the
    09:25 near term i am very thankful i did not
    09:27 wait for that recession back in late
    09:29 2022 and early 2023
    09:33 if i had waited for the recession to
    09:34 push the bitcoin price lower than you
    09:37 know between 16 and,000 and $20,000 i
    09:40 would have missed out on a bunch of
    09:42 bitcoin that is now up 600% which is the
    09:45 reason i can afford a tesla so i can
    09:47 afford a tesla now because i had the
    09:49 conviction to buy bitcoin below $20,000
    09:52 obviously i bought it at all prices but
    09:55 you know it in in total it resulted in
    09:58 the cost basis in the low $30,000 that
    10:00 includes bitcoin i bought as low as
    10:03 $6,400 it includes bitcoin as high as
    10:06 $111,000 but the cost basis in total is
    10:10 uh low $30,000 because i had the
    10:12 conviction to buy back when everyone was
    10:14 holding so we find ourselves in that
    10:17 same situation now which is should you
    10:20 buy more bitcoin now or listen to safe
    10:23 and amos or you know be cautious like
    10:26 checkmate whatever and checkmate’s not
    10:28 saying don’t buy bitcoin he’s just
    10:29 saying “hey you better be ready for the
    10:31 volatility.” same with safety and amus
    10:34 he’s not saying don’t buy bitcoin he’s
    10:35 saying if you’re buying bitcoin now you
    10:37 got to be ready for the swings you got
    10:38 to be ready to take a significant draw
    10:41 down um you got to be willing to ride
    10:43 that out you’ve got to have finances
    10:45 that can handle that um that is what
    10:47 he’s saying if you can’t handle that you
    10:50 know don’t take the risk if you can’t
    10:51 handle it like you got to be able to
    10:53 handle that make sure you can handle it
    10:55 so that’s where we are nobody knows the
    10:56 right answer nobody knows what’s about
    10:58 to happen next what i know in the long
    11:01 term is the us government’s going to
    11:02 print an freaking boatload of money
    11:05 they’re going to out of thin air and
    11:07 there will be high inflation that will
    11:08 run for an extended period of time that
    11:10 is absolutely positively the only way
    11:12 out of the debt the mammoth debt you
    11:16 know insanity that we’re in they’re
    11:17 going to print a ton of money i want to
    11:19 own as much bitcoin as conceivably
    11:21 possible before the big print that’s
    11:24 what i want
    11:25 my finances can handle it my finances
    11:28 can handle buying bitcoin $14,000 of
    11:31 bitcoin at $109,000 and liquidating it
    11:34 at
    11:35 $92,000 to pay for uh you know a whole
    11:38 house generator my finances can handle
    11:40 that my finances can handle making
    11:43 payments on a tesla for a period of time
    11:45 when bitcoin is below $85,000 per coin
    11:48 if that happens my finances can handle
    11:50 it um and if if every decision i made
    11:55 was not buying bitcoin with money that i
    11:58 might need in the next year or two then
    12:01 i would buy way less bitcoin so i’m not
    12:03 going to do that i’m not going to sit on
    12:05 money i’m not going to sit on one or two
    12:07 years of reserves
    12:09 uh just in case bitcoin crashes i’m
    12:12 going to make sure i have enough of a
    12:13 cushion to be able to handle it to be
    12:16 able to spend bitcoin when it’s down if
    12:17 i have to for a period of time but i’m
    12:20 going to have enough bitcoin that i can
    12:21 ride that out and i’m going to be good
    12:23 on the other side and that’s all i know
    12:25 to do that’s the only thing that’s
    12:27 worked for me and that’s the only thing
    12:28 that works in investing uh because again
    12:30 if you always kept if if you never
    12:33 bought bitcoin unless you knew it would
    12:35 be up then you would only ever buy
    12:38 bitcoin with money that you didn’t need
    12:39 for at least four years which would mean
    12:42 there was a significant amount of money
    12:43 that i had back in you know 2022 and
    12:47 2023 that i would not have bought
    12:49 bitcoin because i would have thought
    12:50 well i’m going to need some of that
    12:52 money before 2026
    12:54 well it turned out to be a great idea to
    12:56 buy a bunch of bitco bitcoin by back
    12:58 then um uh buy a you know buy bitcoin
    13:02 back then when i say a lot of bitcoin
    13:04 i’m not talking about units of bitcoin
    13:05 i’m talking like bitcoin as a thing um
    13:08 so for you a lot of bitcoin may be 0.1
    13:11 bitcoin for me a lot of bitcoin may be
    13:14 more than 0.1 bitcoin but you know when
    13:16 i say a lot of bitcoin i’m talking i’m
    13:18 not talking in discrete units i’m
    13:20 talking in uh sort of amounts of bitcoin
    13:23 um so anyway um that’s all i know to do
    13:26 what i know to do is to focus on the
    13:27 long term make sure my finances can
    13:29 handle volatility make sure that if
    13:32 bitcoin dips in the near term that i’m
    13:35 either i’ve if you’re in a situation you
    13:37 where you absolutely cannot handle a dip
    13:40 in the price of bitcoin then you you’re
    13:42 stuck having some reserves which sucks i
    13:44 mean it absolutely sucks to have to have
    13:46 us dollar reserves to handle a dip um
    13:50 but if you’re in that situation it is
    13:52 what it is you’ve got to do what’s best
    13:53 for you i’m in the situation where i
    13:56 have enough bitcoin that i’m i can ride
    13:58 out a dip and i’m fine with that and you
    14:01 know
    14:01 what i’m i’m going to end up paying i’m
    14:04 going to end up spending some bitcoin
    14:06 when it’s lower than the price i paid
    14:07 for it and you know what with that my
    14:09 paycheck every two weeks i’m going to
    14:10 end up buying bitcoin at that price too
    14:13 and at that price you know when i’m
    14:15 spending that bitcoin the newly bought
    14:16 bitcoin i’m buying at a price that’s
    14:18 significantly higher than the price i
    14:20 paid for it in the future well it’ll all
    14:22 work out in the wash and i’ll end up
    14:23 being sub substantially up that’s the
    14:25 way it works in the long term so um
    14:27 obviously this is not financial advice
    14:29 nothing i ever post is financial advice
    14:31 legal advice tax advice accounting
    14:33 advice none of it’s any professional
    14:35 advice it’s just my random opinions of
    14:37 what’s worked for me and if i had us
    14:40 dollars right now i would buy bitcoin
    14:42 for the bitcoin i do have right now i’m
    14:44 not liquidating it i’m not even
    14:46 liquidating the bitcoin i know i’m going
    14:48 to need one month from now to pay off
    14:50 this whole house generator for $20,000
    14:52 i’m not even liquidating bitcoin for
    14:54 that because my finances can handle a
    14:56 dip and if it does dip and i bought
    14:58 $14,000 of bitcoin at 109 and i
    15:01 liquidate bitcoin at you know 85 to pay
    15:06 for a whole house generator so what i
    15:09 take a loss one time on top of a bunch
    15:11 of gains i mean if you if you win 80% of
    15:14 the time and you lose 20% of the time
    15:16 keep playing that game so um the reason
    15:21 gambling is a bad idea the reason
    15:22 casinos are a bad idea the reason
    15:25 speculating in the stock market’s a bad
    15:26 idea the reason day trading is a bad
    15:28 idea is because you lose more than you
    15:31 win and when you lose more than you win
    15:34 you lose in the long term it’s a losers
    15:36 game it’s a fool’s game which is why i
    15:39 don’t do any of those things uh if you
    15:41 invest in bitcoin it doesn’t mean you
    15:42 win 100% of the time it just means you
    15:45 win the majority of the time and anytime
    15:47 your investing involves winning the
    15:50 majority of the time then you end up
    15:52 really well off in the long term as long
    15:54 as you don’t get wiped out in at some
    15:56 point in that process obviously don’t
    15:58 put yourself in a position where you’re
    16:00 going to get wiped out by one big
    16:01 downturn which is why i don’t recommend
    16:03 people buy bitcoin with leverage uh
    16:05 meaning with borrowed money if you buy
    16:07 bitcoin with borrowed money especially
    16:09 if you borrow against your bitcoin to
    16:11 buy bitcoin with borrowed money against
    16:13 your bitcoin then when your bitcoin
    16:15 drops you get a margin call and a margin
    16:17 call is like the worst thing ever a
    16:19 margin call means if you can’t post more
    16:22 collateral meaning give them more
    16:24 bitcoin your position gets liquidated
    16:26 and you lose your bitcoin so and i’ve
    16:28 known people that have done that so
    16:29 don’t borrow against a mark-to-market
    16:31 asset don’t borrow against bonds don’t
    16:34 borrow against stocks and don’t borrow
    16:36 against bitcoin because all of those can
    16:37 get margin called
    16:39 now you know you’re not in the same
    16:41 position if you’ve got a home equity
    16:42 line of credit or you’ve got a mortgage
    16:45 on your house or in my case you’ve got a
    16:46 5-year mortgage or not a mortgage a
    16:48 5-year car note on a tesla you’re not in
    16:51 that position there the bank’s never
    16:53 trust mark bank is never going to come
    16:54 to me and say “hey your tesla’s you know
    16:57 got a few scratches on it it’s not worth
    16:60 what it used to be you got to post more
    17:01 collateral.” banks don’t do that they
    17:03 don’t do that for houses they don’t do
    17:04 that for cars they loan you money and
    17:07 you owe it in five years uh but if you
    17:09 can’t afford to make the payments on
    17:10 your house or you can’t afford to make
    17:12 the payments on your car and you risk
    17:13 losing it and you have to liquidate
    17:15 bitcoin when it’s down to keep from
    17:17 losing your house that’s the sort of
    17:19 situation where you can lose a lot of
    17:21 bitcoin at a price you don’t want to
    17:23 part with it for so make sure you can
    17:24 handle that volatility i can handle the
    17:26 volatility in my life which is why i’m
    17:28 100% bitcoin and i can handle the
    17:30 volatility that comes with being 100%
    17:33 bitcoin and part of that is because i
    17:34 have a paycheck i’m president of prosper
    17:36 i get a paycheck every two weeks that
    17:39 you know it doesn’t cover all my
    17:40 expenses but it covers most of them and
    17:43 the rest of it if i have to pay for the
    17:45 rest of my expenses with bitcoin that’s
    17:46 volatile including down sometimes for
    17:48 the price i paid for it that’s fine
    17:50 because in the long term it’s up a lot
    17:52 more than it’s down and so if i can ride
    17:54 that out i’m good in the long term and i
    17:56 am so and i can um but i don’t want
    17:59 anybody in a situation where bitcoin did
    18:02 them where they ended up worse off
    18:04 because of bitcoin and the only way that
    18:06 happens is if you’re forced to liquidate
    18:08 bitcoin when you’re down and please
    18:11 don’t put yourself in a situation um but
    18:14 where you’re forced to liquidate bitcoin
    18:15 when it’s down because you can’t make a
    18:17 mortgage payment or you lose your job or
    18:19 you can’t make a car payment or you
    18:21 borrowed against your bitcoin or you
    18:22 borrowed against your stock portfolio or
    18:25 anything like that just make sure you
    18:27 can service debt you can make payments
    18:29 you’re not overextended you’re not out
    18:31 over your skis just don’t get yourself
    18:33 in trouble and bitcoin will continue in
    18:36 the long run to be the best asset that’s
    18:38 ever existed i am certain of that you
    18:40 just got to be able to handle that that
    18:42 volatility in the short term which is
    18:44 why i did a video back up at 111,000
    18:46 bitcoin saying “hey we’re at a record up
    18:49 here at 111 not a soul in the world is
    18:52 down on their bitcoin 100% of bitcoin
    18:54 holders are up if you can’t handle the
    18:56 volatility take some chips off the table
    18:59 get where you can now there’s obviously
    19:02 a few people who have bought bitcoin at
    19:04 above 105,500 which is where it is right
    19:06 now including me because back when i did
    19:08 the video at 111,000 it was a record
    19:10 literally a record while i was recording
    19:12 the video which means not a soul in the
    19:14 world had bought bitcoin for more than
    19:15 the current price because it was
    19:17 literally setting records as i was
    19:18 recording the video so it was impossible
    19:20 to have bought bitcoin in the past at a
    19:22 price higher than the current price
    19:23 because literally it had never been
    19:25 higher than that price so in that video
    19:27 back at 111,000 i said if you cannot
    19:29 handle the volatility you can get off
    19:31 the train um so i’ll say the same thing
    19:34 here not that nobody’s bought above you
    19:36 know 105,500 but the vast majority of
    19:39 people the bitcoin they hold they bought
    19:41 at less than 105500 or the cost basis of
    19:45 all their bitcoin meaning the combined
    19:47 price of all the bitcoin is below
    19:50 105,500 um so if you cannot handle the
    19:52 volatility please adjust accordingly
    19:56 please only hold the amount of bitcoin
    19:58 that you can handle and that you’re not
    19:60 going to get forced to liquidate you
    20:02 know in a downturn um it happens and i
    20:05 just don’t want it to happen to anybody
    20:07 um so anyway um what would i do if i had
    20:10 more money us dollars to buy bitcoin i
    20:13 would buy more bitcoin right now because
    20:14 i can handle that volatility i’ve been
    20:16 through it before i’ve been through the
    20:18 downturn after 2017 i’ve been through
    20:20 the downturn after 2021 i’ll be i can
    20:23 make it through the downturn of 2026 if
    20:26 there you know 2025 i should say 2025 uh
    20:29 again the four-year cycle tends to
    20:30 involve peaks in 2013 17 21 and possibly
    20:34 25 although historically the highest of
    20:37 those peaks has always been late in the
    20:38 year not early in the year now again
    20:40 according to safe amos the launch of the
    20:42 bitcoin etfs may have moved that up but
    20:44 natalie brunell makes a really good
    20:45 point of yeah but we have not had a
    20:47 blowoff top a blowoff top is this
    20:49 parabolic rise followed by a crash we
    20:52 haven’t had that parabolic rise the the
    20:54 march up to $112,000 bitcoin has been a
    20:57 pretty steady solid measured march it
    21:01 hasn’t been these insane rises like you
    21:03 saw in 2013 2017 and 2021 and the reason
    21:07 you get that big price correction is
    21:08 because you get this insane
    21:09 unsustainable rise and there’s just not
    21:12 enough demand to keep that going and
    21:14 then at some point the price drops back
    21:15 to something that the demand can
    21:17 actually sustain which is what happened
    21:19 after 2013 2017 and 2021 the price drops
    21:23 back to a price level that the demand
    21:24 can sustain and then it keeps marching
    21:26 forward um but again you don’t want to
    21:28 be somebody who bought in a you know
    21:31 radical upswing that was unsustainable
    21:33 and then when the price drops back um to
    21:37 a price that the demand can sustain
    21:39 you’re stuck liquidating your bitcoin at
    21:41 a price lower than you paid for it i
    21:42 just don’t want anybody to be in that
    21:43 situation so um stay safe out there um
    21:47 make sure you can handle volatility make
    21:49 sure you can handle downturns i still
    21:51 think again in my case i buy more
    21:53 bitcoin any chance i get with every
    21:55 paycheck every two weeks every
    21:58 opportunity i get if there’s us dollars
    21:60 i buy more bitcoin um that’s just what i
    22:03 always do um and works great for me but
    22:05 i can handle the volatility make sure
    22:07 you can as well so over the coming days
    22:09 weeks and months we will find out is the
    22:12 sort of cautious pessimism of safeodine
    22:15 an sedine amis warranted um do we get a
    22:19 two a rise to $200,000 followed by a you
    22:22 know significant crash and look if it
    22:24 goes to 200,000 and it crashes 50% we’re
    22:27 still at 100,000 which is barely lower
    22:28 than now although he says we could crash
    22:30 more than that nobody knows literally
    22:32 nobody knows not a soul on the planet
    22:34 even knows um or do we get you know the
    22:37 big print that the book literally the
    22:40 book called the big print that just came
    22:41 out by uh lawrence uh larry leard um uh
    22:46 or larry lawrence leard however you say
    22:49 it the big print those three words the
    22:51 big print the book just came out earlier
    22:53 this year do we get the big print that
    22:55 lori larry leard is talking about and
    22:57 that jack mullers is talking about and
    22:59 that i think is going to happen um do we
    23:01 get that and do we get a huge sustained
    23:04 rise in the price of bitcoin that lasts
    23:05 for a long time and everybody on the
    23:07 planet is talking about whether you
    23:09 bought a bunch of bitcoin before it or
    23:11 after it nobody knows nobody knows just
    23:14 make sure you can handle all scenarios
    23:16 um and the best way to make sure you can
    23:18 handle is buying bitcoin with retirement
    23:20 funds because if you’re buying bitcoin
    23:22 retire with retirement funds as long as
    23:24 you’re not planning to retire in the
    23:26 next 3 or 4 years um so if you’re under
    23:29 the age of 60 and you’re buying bitcoin
    23:31 with retirement funds you’re golden
    23:33 you’re golden because you’re going to be
    23:35 retiring more than four years from now
    23:37 and there has never been a time that
    23:39 over any four-year time span in the
    23:41 entire history of bitcoin that has been
    23:42 down so i think the probability that
    23:44 bitcoin’s higher than today’s price four
    23:46 years from now is 100% on a three-year
    23:49 basis bitcoin has historically been up
    23:51 97% of the time so if somebody said
    23:53 “yeah but okay 100% of probability
    23:55 bitcoin’s up from today’s price four
    23:57 years from now.” i get it what about 3
    23:58 years i would say 97% of the time why
    24:01 because 97% of the time over the last 16
    24:04 years bitcoin’s been up over any
    24:06 three-year time period if somebody said
    24:08 “yeah but what about only two years from
    24:09 now?” i would say 67% why 67% why
    24:13 because over any 2-year period over the
    24:16 last 16 years there’s a 67% chi chance
    24:19 bitcoin’s up and if you’re patient by
    24:21 one more year your probability of being
    24:23 up jumps from 67% to 97% and if you’re
    24:27 even more patient it goes to 100% that’s
    24:29 the way bitcoin works so please be
    24:31 patient uh and please don’t invest
    24:33 bitcoin uh money in bitcoin that you
    24:35 cannot afford to lose and that you
    24:37 cannot afford to just ride out and wait
    24:40 or or if you’re right up on retirement
    24:42 you’re like right there make sure you
    24:44 have the ability to work to figure out
    24:46 which way bitcoin’s going before you’re
    24:48 all in like me so i’ve still got a
    24:50 paycheck so i can handle it either way
    24:52 uh hopefully this video helps nobody
    24:54 knows the future make sure you can
    24:55 handle the ups and downs there could be
    24:57 a significant price correction around
    24:58 the corner nobody knows there could be a
    25:01 massive price rise right around the
    25:02 corner nobody knows make sure you you
    25:05 can handle anything just please make
    25:08 sure you don’t end up in a situation
    25:09 where you’re forced to
    25:11 liquidate bitcoin at a price lower than
    25:14 you paid for it in significant amounts i
    25:16 don’t care if i have to liquidate a
    25:18 little bit of the bitcoin i paid you
    25:19 know pay for it at 109 liquidate it at
    25:22 105 buy bitcoin at 105 i have to
    25:24 liquidate it at 92 i don’t care but i
    25:27 don’t want to have to do that with like
    25:28 all my bitcoin um and so if you’ve got a
    25:31 lot of your bitcoin with a cost basis
    25:33 that’s up in the you know 100,000 plus
    25:36 90,000 plus and that’s like most of the
    25:38 bitcoin you’ve ever bought make sure you
    25:40 can handle the downturns just make sure
    25:42 you can handle it because there could be
    25:44 one around the corner we could also be
    25:46 in for a huge price rise nobody on the
    25:48 planet knows not a soul so good luck out
    25:51 there i’m here for anything you need
    25:52 feel free to message me anytime on
    25:54 facebook messenger uh i love responding
    25:57 to people’s questions and i will
    25:58 continue to try to be the best possible
    26:00 sherpa uh on the way up the bitcoin
    26:03 mountain including the valleys remember
    26:06 bitcoin goes up and down on its way up
    26:08 so i said up twice i said down once so
    26:11 that means it goes up more than it goes
    26:12 down which is why it’s the best
    26:14 performing asset in the world over the
    26:16 last 10 years uh best performing over
    26:18 the last five years certainly best
    26:20 performing over the entire life of
    26:21 bitcoin uh but there are ups and downs
    26:24 on the way up make sure to get the two
    26:26 ups you can handle the down in between
