Nothing Can Pump Bitcoin — Until This Breaks | The Global Liquidity Trap Explained
FULL TRANSCRIPT
The proc crypto president can't pump
Bitcoin.
The weaker dollar cannot pump Bitcoin.
Institutional adoption can't pump
Bitcoin. The Fed injecting liquidity,
stock at all-time highs can't do it
either. So the question is this. If
nothing can't pump Bitcoin, what exactly
is holding it back?
And more importantly, which comes first?
Bitcoin at $300,000 or a massive global
liquidity drain that resets everything.
This is not about a Bitcoin debate. This
is a liquidity regime debate. The chart
you're showing that I'm showing you now
tells you far more about narratives than
than the financial media. Of course,
they're not going to show you this
because [snorts] it's kind of boring,
but I'm want to make it interesting.
So what you're seeing
the blue line
is Bitcoin price.
Okay. The green line is global M2
liquidity
the the liquidity it's called the um
the liquidity from the Federal Reserve.
So money going to the system essentially
global M2 is shifted forward by 3
months.
So this means the green line is leading
the money in the system. The blue line
is reacting.
Liquidity moves first. Real risk assets
then they respond later.
So the left axis is the basically the
amount of global in trillion of M2 money
supply and on the right axis is the
Bitcoin price. lock sale. Lock scale
matters because Bitcoin is exponentially
by by nature and percentage moves matter
more than absolute dollars. And this is
something that I'm always doing. I'm
never showing you absolute numbers like
the price going up doesn't mean
anything.
You need to understand from a relative
basis.
I mean you're a tall guy, sure, but
compared to an ant, you're gigantic.
So you're gigantic or you're tall.
Exactly.
So the critical insight is this. From
the late 2023 through mid 2025, global
liquidity expands aggressively
and Bitcoin follows with a bit of a lag
as you could see.
But notice what happens next. Liquidity
keeps rising the green line,
but Bitcoin stalls and rolls over.
That's the story.
So what happened? Why
rate cuts didn't work? Rate cuts without
balance sheet expansion is cosmetic.
What I mean by that is they cut the
rates. Remember the government, the the
Fed. So markets don't trade on rates.
The market trades on net liquidity.
So if the rate cuts offset by QT,
Treasury insurance and dollar funding
stress, then they are irrelevant.
Bitcoin didn't stall because cuts
failed. It stalled because cuts didn't
add net liquidity. We understand that
markets don't run
on the ideology. They run on cash flows.
Policy signaling matters only when it
changes funding condition.
No change in collateral availability,
dollar liquidity, leverage capacity
means a not sustained bids.
A weaker dollar didn't work.
This is critical. Bitcoin is not a
simple anti-doll trade anymore. It's a
globally leveraged system. A weak dollar
can't coexist with liquidity scarcity.
Bitcoin doesn't respond to the the
headlines. It responds to crossborder
dollar availability.
Institutional adoptions didn't work.
This one hurts narratives the most. ETF
didn't fail. They completed their job,
right? They converted speculative
enthusiasm into regulated exposure.
Meaning that ETF that holds a bitcoin.
They absorbed early demand. Normalized
Bitcoin into a macro asset stack. You
can, and I tell that to my subscribers
and to my members all the time. You
know, these are the ETF that you could
buy to actually hold
Bitcoin. So, you don't have to worry too
much about it. But ETF do not create
leverage. Liquidity does.
The stocks at all-time high didn't
didn't work either to sustain Bitcoin
because equity strength right now is
narrow, defensive, balance sheetdriven.
This is not a 2020 star reflexive risk
on. It's it's buy back buyback. It's
it's it's mega cap concentration. It's
duration hiding. Bitcoin doesn't rely on
defensing.
Bitcoin does not rely
and rally on defensive equity strength.
So the real driver is global liquidity
quality.
This is the most part most people miss.
Not all liquidity is equal. Is this
liquidity
a good liquidity?
You have lots of water, but can you
drink it?
What type of liquidity matters?
Okay,
Bitcoin responds to unsterilized
liquidity, leverage enabled liquidity
and crossber liquidity.
What you have instead, you have
liquidity trapped in sovereign balance
sheets, liquidity absorbed by treasury
assurance.
Yeah, you have lots of liquidity, but
you using it to refinance yourself
because you owe so much money you're
paying yourself. That's literally what's
happening with the US. And be careful
that cannot keep on going if the dollar
gets weaker. Liquidity sterilized by
regulatory capital constraints. That is
why global M2 rises and Bitcoin doesn't
respond proportionally.
The system is liquidity rich but it is
leverage poor.
So
two potential future.
Okay. I mean basically all you need to
understand is this. I mean there's a lot
to understand but let me make it easy
for you. Basically you have to realize
that liquidity went up and the and and
and Bitcoin went up with liquidity but
then it just didn't. Why? Because that
liquidity is not the same anymore.
Because the US could print money, could
could could do lots of things, could
lower rates, but nobody believes in
lower rates. Right now, we lowered the
rates, but nobody believes that the
inflation is out of the way. The market
is very, very smart. It's like an
entity. It understands everything.
So,
two possible features. Scenario one,
Bitcoin, $300,000, and you can make
money with Bitcoin without actually
owning it. You just buy a bunch ETF. And
I could show you that. I will address
that in the coming weeks in my uh in my
channel for my members only. Okay,
members I get more specific. So this
only happens if central bank lose
control of the funding stress.
QT is abandoned globally. Fiscal
dominance accelerate and sovereign
issuance overwhelms the buyers and
liquidity leaks into speculative assets.
Again,
in this case,
Bitcoin rises gradually. It it prices
violently, not because of believer,
because there is nowhere else for
liquidity to go. Where you going to put
your money? You don't trust anything
anymore.
That's why you kind of seeing gold going
the way it did and and Bitcoin the way
it did because they said that, well,
maybe they know what they're doing after
all.
Scenario number two, this is more
probable than the first.
um a massive global liquidity suckout.
This is how it happens. Government issue
more debt. Okay. Central banks refuse to
monetize aggressively. Risk assets
compete for shrinking liquidity and
leverage contracts. Bitcoin doesn't
crash because it's bad. It stalls
because liquidity is rationed is
rationed.
This would look like sideways chop.
violent rallies that fail. Increasing
volatility without a trend.
So investor playbook
and this is a mistake retail makes. They
ask what will pump Bitcoin and the
professional
what we ask is what will break the
liquidity constraints
because we know what's moving this thing
and and and and I think I shown that
before but basically Bitcoin doesn't
lead cycles anymore. It confirms regime
shifts. That is how you have to read
this thing.
So what should you be watching?
You need to watch a global central
bank's balance sheets, the treasury
issuance versus absorption, the repo
market, crosscurrency, emerging markets,
dollar funding.
When those break, Bitcoin won't need a
narrative.
So in conclusion,
Bitcoin is not broken.
It's just a system is transitioning.
We are between financial repression and
financial capitalization.
Bitcoin at 300,000 is not a forecast.
It's going to be a consequence. A
consequence only arrived after liquidity
fails somewhere else first. So remember,
liquidity
tied to Bitcoin.
