    00:02 hey everyone you need to read the
    00:03 bullish case for Bitcoin by VJ boyapati
    00:07 in order to understand why the price of
    00:09 Bitcoin goes up and down the way it does
    00:12 if you do not read that book and you
    00:14 don’t understand bitcoin’s price Cycles
    00:16 then it seems random to you it seems
    00:18 like uh as one person told me the price
    00:20 of Bitcoin goes all over the place like
    00:22 a drunken sailor uh no it doesn’t it’s
    00:25 actually surprisingly predictable on the
    00:27 long term or in the long term on a
    00:30 longtime scale if you understand how the
    00:33 forces of supply and demand interact
    00:36 with Bitcoin and why there generally is
    00:39 a 4-year price cycle where three years
    00:42 the price goes up and one year the price
    00:44 goes down um so the three up years were
    00:47 201 11 12 and 13 down in 14 up years 15
    00:51 16 uh what was it up years down in 14 up
    00:55 years in six uh 15 16 and 17 2017 down
    00:58 in 2018 up in 2019 2020 and 2021 down in
    01:03 2022 up in 2023 2024 and we expect 2025
    01:08 and why there might be we don’t know but
    01:10 there might be a price correction in
    01:12 2026 now maybe the Bitcoin exchange
    01:14 traded funds the Bitcoin ETF that were
    01:16 launched in January mean that there
    01:18 won’t be those price Cycles anymore and
    01:20 we’re in something called the super
    01:22 cycle and that could be the case we
    01:24 don’t know but what is important is that
    01:26 you understand why Bitcoin behaves the
    01:28 way it does because if you understand it
    01:31 uh it’s like reading a parenting book
    01:32 right if you if you read a really good
    01:34 parenting book it helps you understand
    01:36 why your kids behave the way they do and
    01:39 that can help you adjust and accommodate
    01:41 and you know take action appropriately
    01:44 based on why your kids behave the way
    01:46 they do well the same is true of Bitcoin
    01:48 its price movements are not random
    01:50 they’re based on supply and demand in
    01:52 the short term which often is difficult
    01:54 to to figure out why they go the price
    01:56 goes up and down any hour or any day or
    01:58 any week but over the months quarters or
    02:01 years you can figure out for the most
    02:04 part why now you don’t know how high
    02:06 it’s going to go or how low it’s going
    02:07 to go so it’s not like you can time the
    02:09 tops or the bottoms no nobody can tell
    02:12 you where the tops or the bottoms will
    02:14 be on bitcoin um because that’s
    02:18 unknowable as they say don’t time the
    02:20 market and the reason they say they
    02:21 don’t don’t time the market is nobody
    02:24 knows when exactly the highs and lows
    02:26 are going to be and nobody also knows
    02:28 exactly how high the highs will or how
    02:30 low the lows will be you just know that
    02:32 at some point if you have a sense for
    02:35 why Bitcoin behaves the way it does then
    02:37 you will be prepared and it won’t seem
    02:39 strange to you when the price does go up
    02:41 and down so for example after 2021 when
    02:44 the price went through a price
    02:45 correction in 2022 if you had read the
    02:48 bullish case for Bitcoin you knew why it
    02:50 was doing what it was doing uh you
    02:51 didn’t know how far it was going to go
    02:53 down you didn’t know how fast it was
    02:55 going to come back up but you you knew
    02:56 it was going down and it would come back
    02:58 up um so at least you could be prepared
    02:60 preped for it again it doesn’t let you
    03:01 time the exact timing it doesn’t let you
    03:04 find the exact top or bottom but at
    03:06 least you know why things are happening
    03:08 um so for example it’s the equivalent if
    03:11 you’re you know far out at Sea and
    03:14 there’s a major storm if you don’t
    03:16 understand weather then you don’t
    03:18 understand that the storm will pass
    03:20 right by its nature the storm will pass
    03:22 but if you have no idea what the weather
    03:24 is and you’re out at Sea and you get hit
    03:26 by a storm it’s easy to assume oh maybe
    03:29 this far out at Sea there’s always a
    03:31 storm and the entire journey is going to
    03:34 be a storm which would probably lead you
    03:36 to turn back cuz you’re like oh I don’t
    03:38 want to go farther than 100 miles from
    03:40 the shore because the last time I went
    03:42 100 miles from a the shore I hit a storm
    03:45 and I just assume it’s all Storm from
    03:46 there on out well the truth is of course
    03:49 not the storms come and go and if you’re
    03:51 in a storm and you wait long enough
    03:53 you’re going to get out of the storm
    03:54 well if you understand that when then
    03:56 when a storm hits you on the high seas
    03:58 rather than turning back you understand
    03:60 and hey we have to ride this one out and
    04:02 here’s how we ride this one out and this
    04:04 two shall pass and we will have clear
    04:07 skies and you know a wind for sailing
    04:09 and all that sort of stuff so reading
    04:11 the bullish case for Bitcoin is very
    04:13 similar in that when there are storms in
    04:15 the world of Bitcoin whether or not
    04:17 there is a price correction in the
    04:20 second half of 2025 or sometime in 2026
    04:23 nobody knows but if there is one you’ll
    04:25 know what it feels like you’ll know why
    04:28 it’s happening you’ll know why humans
    04:30 behave the way they do and all of that
    04:32 is covered in VJ Boy aa’s book the
    04:34 bullish case for Bitcoin um it’s
    04:38 probably I mean usually for beginners I
    04:40 recommend a book like uh inventing bit
    04:42 Bitcoin by uh uh Yan pritzer I think I
    04:46 forget it’s pritsker I’m not I can’t
    04:48 remember his first name um I think it’s
    04:49 John prit pritsker uh inventing Bitcoin
    04:52 that’s great for beginners but if you o
    04:54 own Bitcoin you’re you’re a ways down
    04:57 the journey you’re starting to have
    04:59 significant amounts of assets at stake
    05:01 in Bitcoin then it’s worth understanding
    05:04 why it behaves the way it does so that
    05:05 you don’t freak out if there’s a price
    05:07 correction so that you can take
    05:08 advantage of it if there is a price
    05:10 correction so that you know why price
    05:12 Corrections will always pass and the
    05:14 price will always eventually go higher
    05:16 those are all things that are covered in
    05:17 the bullish case for Bitcoin that if you
    05:20 have not read it then like I say you’re
    05:22 sort of at Sea you hit a storm you think
    05:25 maybe storms are always you know this
    05:27 far out at Sea they always are here and
    05:29 it’s just a lot harder to stay rational
    05:32 if you don’t understand why the weather
    05:34 does what it does and if you do it
    05:37 doesn’t let you predict the weather
    05:38 perfectly but it lets you it lets you
    05:40 prepare for it plan accordingly and
    05:43 weather it you know uh you know weather
    05:45 the storm um so the same is true for the
    05:48 bullish case for Bitcoin I think 2025 is
    05:50 going to be an epic year for Bitcoin to
    05:53 the upside but the second half of the
    05:55 year or in 2026 there could be a price
    05:58 correction and it’s worth understanding
    05:59 why that is why it might be the case why
    06:02 it might not be the case and all of that
    06:04 and you can learn all of that from VJ
    06:06 Boy aot’s book the bullish case for
    06:08 Bitcoin so uh go get the book it uh it’s
    06:11 currently out of production on Amazon
    06:14 because the author is rewriting it uh
    06:16 but you can still get it on audiobook
    06:18 and you can get it on Kindle so um you
    06:20 can read it on the Kindle app on your
    06:22 iPhone or your Android phone so you can
    06:24 read it on the Kindle app you can even
    06:26 use the voice uh reader on your phone to
    06:28 read it to you by swiping two fingers
    06:31 from the top of your phone down if you
    06:33 have uh the uh voice function turned on
    06:35 on your iPhone uh but regardless you can
    06:37 read it on the Kindle app or you can
    06:39 even better listen to it on audible.com
    06:41 so highly recommended uh check it out
    06:44 you’ll feel a lot better about Bitcoin
    06:46 in general when you understand why it
    06:48 behaves the way it does and the best way
    06:50 to understand that is VJ boot’s book the
    06:52 bullish case for Bitcoin uh you can get
    06:54 it on Kindle or you can get it on uh
    06:58 audible.com or later in
    07:00 2025 uh VJ boyapati is uh writing an
    07:03 expanding an updated version of it that
    07:06 you’ll be able to get although I would
    07:07 not wait I don’t think it’s worth
    07:08 waiting for the expanded and updated
    07:11 Edition because I don’t know when that’s
    07:12 going to come out and there’s a good
    07:14 chance it will come out in the second
    07:15 half of 2025 rather than the first half
    07:18 and there is a a lot higher likelihood
    07:21 that we will be close to the end of this
    07:24 price cycle and the start of the next
    07:25 one and it’s better that you understand
    07:27 all of this sooner rather than later so
    07:29 go Go download the book on Kindle or on
    07:32 audible.com great book highly
    07:33 recommended you’ll feel like you have a
    07:35 much better understanding of why
    07:38 technology behaves the way it does why
    07:40 Bitcoin behaves the way it does and why
    07:42 Bitcoin goes through price Cycles uh the
    07:44 way it does so highly recommended it’s
    07:46 the number one book about Bitcoin that
    07:49 you should read in 2025

You need to read “The Bullish Case for Bitcoin” by Vijay Boyapati to understand why Bitcoin’s price goes up and down.
