0:00

The proc crypto president can't pump

0:03

Bitcoin.

0:05

The weaker dollar cannot pump Bitcoin.

0:10

Institutional adoption can't pump

0:13

Bitcoin. The Fed injecting liquidity,

0:16

stock at all-time highs can't do it

0:18

either. So the question is this. If

0:21

nothing can't pump Bitcoin, what exactly

0:23

is holding it back?

0:25

And more importantly, which comes first?

0:29

Bitcoin at $300,000 or a massive global

0:32

liquidity drain that resets everything.

0:36

This is not about a Bitcoin debate. This

0:38

is a liquidity regime debate. The chart

0:42

you're showing that I'm showing you now

0:44

tells you far more about narratives than

0:46

than the financial media. Of course,

0:49

they're not going to show you this

0:50

because [snorts] it's kind of boring,

0:53

but I'm want to make it interesting.

0:56

So what you're seeing

0:59

the blue line

1:01

is Bitcoin price.

1:05

Okay. The green line is global M2

1:08

liquidity

1:10

the the liquidity it's called the um

1:14

the liquidity from the Federal Reserve.

1:16

So money going to the system essentially

1:20

global M2 is shifted forward by 3

1:22

months.

1:24

So this means the green line is leading

1:28

the money in the system. The blue line

1:30

is reacting.

1:35

Liquidity moves first. Real risk assets

1:39

then they respond later.

1:42

So the left axis is the basically the

1:45

amount of global in trillion of M2 money

1:47

supply and on the right axis is the

1:49

Bitcoin price. lock sale. Lock scale

1:52

matters because Bitcoin is exponentially

1:55

by by nature and percentage moves matter

1:57

more than absolute dollars. And this is

1:59

something that I'm always doing. I'm

2:00

never showing you absolute numbers like

2:02

the price going up doesn't mean

2:03

anything.

2:05

You need to understand from a relative

2:06

basis.

2:09

I mean you're a tall guy, sure, but

2:12

compared to an ant, you're gigantic.

2:16

So you're gigantic or you're tall.

2:18

Exactly.

2:21

So the critical insight is this. From

2:24

the late 2023 through mid 2025, global

2:28

liquidity expands aggressively

2:30

and Bitcoin follows with a bit of a lag

2:33

as you could see.

2:35

But notice what happens next. Liquidity

2:38

keeps rising the green line,

2:43

but Bitcoin stalls and rolls over.

2:46

That's the story.

2:49

So what happened? Why

2:54

rate cuts didn't work? Rate cuts without

2:57

balance sheet expansion is cosmetic.

2:59

What I mean by that is they cut the

3:00

rates. Remember the government, the the

3:02

Fed. So markets don't trade on rates.

3:05

The market trades on net liquidity.

3:09

So if the rate cuts offset by QT,

3:12

Treasury insurance and dollar funding

3:13

stress, then they are irrelevant.

3:18

Bitcoin didn't stall because cuts

3:21

failed. It stalled because cuts didn't

3:23

add net liquidity. We understand that

3:28

markets don't run

3:31

on the ideology. They run on cash flows.

3:34

Policy signaling matters only when it

3:37

changes funding condition.

3:39

No change in collateral availability,

3:41

dollar liquidity, leverage capacity

3:45

means a not sustained bids.

3:49

A weaker dollar didn't work.

3:52

This is critical. Bitcoin is not a

3:54

simple anti-doll trade anymore. It's a

3:57

globally leveraged system. A weak dollar

4:00

can't coexist with liquidity scarcity.

4:03

Bitcoin doesn't respond to the the

4:05

headlines. It responds to crossborder

4:07

dollar availability.

4:12

Institutional adoptions didn't work.

4:15

This one hurts narratives the most. ETF

4:17

didn't fail. They completed their job,

4:21

right? They converted speculative

4:22

enthusiasm into regulated exposure.

4:24

Meaning that ETF that holds a bitcoin.

4:27

They absorbed early demand. Normalized

4:29

Bitcoin into a macro asset stack. You

4:32

can, and I tell that to my subscribers

4:34

and to my members all the time. You

4:36

know, these are the ETF that you could

4:38

buy to actually hold

4:40

Bitcoin. So, you don't have to worry too

4:41

much about it. But ETF do not create

4:43

leverage. Liquidity does.

4:46

The stocks at all-time high didn't

4:49

didn't work either to sustain Bitcoin

4:51

because equity strength right now is

4:53

narrow, defensive, balance sheetdriven.

4:57

This is not a 2020 star reflexive risk

5:00

on. It's it's buy back buyback. It's

5:02

it's it's mega cap concentration. It's

5:04

duration hiding. Bitcoin doesn't rely on

5:07

defensing.

5:08

Bitcoin does not rely

5:12

and rally on defensive equity strength.

5:16

So the real driver is global liquidity

5:19

quality.

5:21

This is the most part most people miss.

5:25

Not all liquidity is equal. Is this

5:28

liquidity

5:30

a good liquidity?

5:32

You have lots of water, but can you

5:33

drink it?

5:35

What type of liquidity matters?

5:39

Okay,

5:41

Bitcoin responds to unsterilized

5:43

liquidity, leverage enabled liquidity

5:46

and crossber liquidity.

5:48

What you have instead, you have

5:50

liquidity trapped in sovereign balance

5:52

sheets, liquidity absorbed by treasury

5:56

assurance.

5:59

Yeah, you have lots of liquidity, but

6:00

you using it to refinance yourself

6:02

because you owe so much money you're

6:03

paying yourself. That's literally what's

6:05

happening with the US. And be careful

6:07

that cannot keep on going if the dollar

6:09

gets weaker. Liquidity sterilized by

6:12

regulatory capital constraints. That is

6:14

why global M2 rises and Bitcoin doesn't

6:17

respond proportionally.

6:20

The system is liquidity rich but it is

6:23

leverage poor.

6:26

So

6:28

two potential future.

6:30

Okay. I mean basically all you need to

6:33

understand is this. I mean there's a lot

6:35

to understand but let me make it easy

6:37

for you. Basically you have to realize

6:38

that liquidity went up and the and and

6:41

and Bitcoin went up with liquidity but

6:43

then it just didn't. Why? Because that

6:46

liquidity is not the same anymore.

6:50

Because the US could print money, could

6:51

could could do lots of things, could

6:53

lower rates, but nobody believes in

6:56

lower rates. Right now, we lowered the

6:57

rates, but nobody believes that the

6:58

inflation is out of the way. The market

7:01

is very, very smart. It's like an

7:03

entity. It understands everything.

7:06

So,

7:09

two possible features. Scenario one,

7:11

Bitcoin, $300,000, and you can make

7:13

money with Bitcoin without actually

7:15

owning it. You just buy a bunch ETF. And

7:17

I could show you that. I will address

7:19

that in the coming weeks in my uh in my

7:22

channel for my members only. Okay,

7:24

members I get more specific. So this

7:27

only happens if central bank lose

7:29

control of the funding stress.

7:32

QT is abandoned globally. Fiscal

7:35

dominance accelerate and sovereign

7:37

issuance overwhelms the buyers and

7:40

liquidity leaks into speculative assets.

7:43

Again,

7:46

in this case,

7:48

Bitcoin rises gradually. It it prices

7:51

violently, not because of believer,

7:53

because there is nowhere else for

7:55

liquidity to go. Where you going to put

7:57

your money? You don't trust anything

7:58

anymore.

8:00

That's why you kind of seeing gold going

8:02

the way it did and and Bitcoin the way

8:04

it did because they said that, well,

8:06

maybe they know what they're doing after

8:08

all.

8:10

Scenario number two, this is more

8:11

probable than the first.

8:14

um a massive global liquidity suckout.

8:18

This is how it happens. Government issue

8:20

more debt. Okay. Central banks refuse to

8:23

monetize aggressively. Risk assets

8:26

compete for shrinking liquidity and

8:27

leverage contracts. Bitcoin doesn't

8:30

crash because it's bad. It stalls

8:32

because liquidity is rationed is

8:34

rationed.

8:36

This would look like sideways chop.

8:40

violent rallies that fail. Increasing

8:43

volatility without a trend.

8:47

So investor playbook

8:51

and this is a mistake retail makes. They

8:53

ask what will pump Bitcoin and the

8:56

professional

8:57

what we ask is what will break the

9:01

liquidity constraints

9:03

because we know what's moving this thing

9:08

and and and and I think I shown that

9:10

before but basically Bitcoin doesn't

9:12

lead cycles anymore. It confirms regime

9:15

shifts. That is how you have to read

9:17

this thing.

9:20

So what should you be watching?

9:23

You need to watch a global central

9:24

bank's balance sheets, the treasury

9:27

issuance versus absorption, the repo

9:29

market, crosscurrency, emerging markets,

9:32

dollar funding.

9:34

When those break, Bitcoin won't need a

9:36

narrative.

9:38

So in conclusion,

9:43

Bitcoin is not broken.

9:46

It's just a system is transitioning.

9:49

We are between financial repression and

9:52

financial capitalization.

9:55

Bitcoin at 300,000 is not a forecast.

9:57

It's going to be a consequence. A

9:59

consequence only arrived after liquidity

10:01

fails somewhere else first. So remember,

10:05

liquidity

10:07

tied to Bitcoin.
