*The Massive Game Changer for Bitcoin | The Bitcoin ETF BREAKDOWN*
FULL TRANSCRIPT
in this video we're going to discuss the
approval of the Bitcoin ETF should you
invest in Bitcoin and what could this
mean for the future price action of
Bitcoin let's touch on it by first
getting to the excitement so the dtcc
which is basically a Clearing
Corporation it's literally part of their
name uh service providers like ETF
creators uh can end up having their
shares cleared through the dtcc
ultimately have has a new listing
showing up on their website and it's
ibtc the I shares Bitcoin uh ETF and
this ETF is tracked by Eric now Eric
here uh is a Bloomberg reporter and he's
a big deal in terms of following ETF
launches and he writes the following he
writes the I shares Bitcoin trust has
been listed on the dtcc depository trust
and Clearing Corporation which clears
NASDAQ trades and the ticker will be
ibtc again this is all part of the
process of bringing an ETF to Market
that's right you get your ID you get
your ticker your title has to be
approved your name naming is very
important with ETFs has to be approved
by the SEC I know because I have an ETF
that's listed on the NYSC ARCA and it's
a big process you have to get all these
steps in place before you're actually
ready to start functioning now one of
the cool things about this though is it
means maybe we're actually getting close
to that official BTC approval now we've
seen many false starts and sort of leaks
around the idea that oh here we go the
Bitcoin ETF is coming and we've
regularly rallied from 26 27,000 to
30,000 and then we get rejected by 30
and every time we get rejected by 30 we
fall back down but now we've broken out
and it's crazy because if you look at
the chart you can see the Fibonacci are
working almost perfectly look at this as
soon as we got our breakout on this
lower region here what happened boom
right up to the next FIB level oh close
to about 359 we're sitting about 354 at
a Max right now it's trading for about
34 uh and so the question is will we
actually be able to break through that
next fib after the official BTC ETF
approval well so let's talk about this
first it's really important to start by
remembering that the SEC has been very
anti- crypto and this is led by Gary
gendler the chairperson of the SEC Gary
gendler in a now pretty famous interview
on CNBC said what do we need digital
currency for we already have digital
currency it's called the dollar now I
personally don't think that Gary
gensler's comments resonate with
everybody at the SEC or quite frankly
resemble what America wants I actually
think that most of America when it comes
to BTC looks at it as look if people
want to invest in BTC and Bitcoin they
should have the right to be able to do
so in the safest and most secure and
accessible manner possible now this is
of course where we're going to get into
a little bit of a debate because
theoretically the SA EST way to store
your Bitcoin is by having your keys on a
hardware wallet which is just a set of
words right this is encryption keys or
these are encryption Keys the problem
with that is you could end up like the
guy who ended up you know basically
trying to unbe a landfill because he
threw away his Hardware keys and
apparently didn't have enough Hardware
backups if you're going to go Hardware
at least have many Hardware backups in
different places of the world okay you
know get a safety deposit box in New
York York get one in Seattle get one in
Florida and get one in Cali you know if
you've got a lot of money in these
Hardware walls but the problem with this
is all that takes hard work so it will
reduce your adoption to people who are
sort of really into this these are like
your first adopters it's like sort of
your 20 to 45y old dude who buys a Tesla
okay the next big thing for Bitcoin is
how do you get moms in it how do you get
Grandma and Grandpa in it you know how
do you get older dudes in it that's what
matters for your next wave of real
adoption because having an ETF now
allows other institutional investors to
actually buy into Bitcoin outside of
something like the grayscale Bitcoin
trust problem with the grayscale Bitcoin
trust is it's always wanted to become an
ETF but because it's a close-ended fund
and not an ETF it's almost always sold
at a discount and that's left a lot of
people really bitter about Bitcoin
because they're like bro you know our
institution invested in the great scale
Bitcoin trust and it sells at you know
30% discount on average which is crazy I
mean during the hype cycle was selling
for a 30% premium because institutions
couldn't get enough of their money their
their hands on bitcoin but all of that
goes away like you don't even have to
know what any of that means what I just
said all of those problems go away when
you have an ETF because an ETF trades at
what's known as a net asset value nav
that's actually a really big deal nav is
what are the underlying assets worth and
that's roughly what it's going to trade
for that's because you have these we we
call them mini market makers called
authorized participants and they
basically mini market make ETFs uh to
Arbitrage price differences and keep the
ETF trading as close to net asset value
as possible okay in English ETFs are
substantially more liquid this means
it's a lot easier for an institution to
go we're putting money into Bitcoin
today we're taking it out tomorrow right
that liquidity
increases people's interest in adopting
Bitcoin it increases people's interest
because people don't want to feel like
they're locked into something
unfortunately when you have this sort of
liquidity you're not necessarily going
to get a massive flood of investors day
one and I do think you're going to get a
big flood day one but the question is
will that be substantially higher than
people think is every pension fund is
every hedge fund is every other actively
managed ETF going to turn around and
start or even passively managed ETFs
which are like more than 95% of the
market are they going to turn around and
start adopting
Bitcoin probably not in high levels yet
and I'm going to explain how I think
this works out and how it plays out for
the price of Bitcoin got to throw in a
plug though my real estate startup house
hack if you're looking to diversify
we're basically raising money at net
asset value one: one cash right now
that's crazy for a startup to be raising
money at a on toone valuation basically
when you invest you know say we raise
$10 million the valuation of the
company's $10 million that's wild
obviously they're processing fees that
the company pays and stuff like that to
raise money but the point is we're
nearly raising at net asset value which
is amazing that means nominal if any
dilution for investors very very rare
learn about house Haack by going to
house hack.com read the offering
circular this video can't be a
solicitation as the circular has to be
that but read about it obviously there
are risks investing in startups but I'm
really excited about it and uh you know
I feel like personally I'm like so
all-in committed to house act it's my
baby can't guarantee it but knock on
would we got we got to kill it so anyway
going to my trajectory here on pricing
for BTC
so
I think what we're going to have and
many of you who follow me for a while
know I talk about this a lot when it
comes to the stock market having a sort
of a Nike Swoosh recovery in 23 a
volatile Nike Swoosh that's basically
roughly what we've had so far with the
stock
market when it comes to the adoption of
crypto I think you're going to have a
very very very
elongated swoosh of adoption unless
there's some kind of hype cycle again
between now and that next hype cycle a
very slow kind of moving increasing
adoption of BTC which could support
prices going up we know we have finite
Supply we have the next having coming up
in 181 days uh there there are a lot of
catalysts on the
horizon but the start of ETF
approval basically opens up the door to
institutional Investments institutions
are just other active ETFs passive ETFs
Pension funds hedge funds right these
are
institutions the problem is they can
only really throw money at that door to
the extent that their underlying
investors want Bitcoin exposure so for
example if I have a an
ETF I have to look and say well do my
investors want Bitcoin exposure you know
if I have an ETF that is thematic on you
know let's say there's a theme where
it's like I think uh you know an ETF
that you start in a high interest rate
environment will do really well if you
invest in pricing power stocks that will
do exceptionally well as interest rates
start coming down let's just say that
happened to be a strategy then uh that's
a strategy that you would have to sort
of pit against well does that include
BTC well maybe maybe not it it depends
uh people could make the argument that
BTC could be used as a hedge but the
problem is BTC is not a hedge to high
beta stocks it basically is a high beta
stock okay what does that mean in
English it basically means Bitcoin is
less of a a gold store digital gold uh
it is an element of that of course it is
less of an inflation hedge it is an
element of that of course Finance Supply
it's more of a risk asset which means
Bitcoin probably does well as interest
rates come down which means launching a
Bitcoin ET F when interest rates are
potentially at the
peak is quite possibly one of the best
times to launch a Bitcoin
ETF which means from the perspective of
a Speculator speculating on a Bitcoin
ETF maybe a month or two after launches
could be really desirable okay why a
month or two after launches okay so uh
let's let's explain this thesis and and
and no I'm not going to Pat myself on
the back and say I called the two top of
Bitcoin on video you could see my Tik
Tok for the
receipts uh I think I just did exactly
what I said I wasn't going to do
but is that characteristic of
flip-flopping or is that a joke I don't
know anyway
so let's
speculate okay so let's draw a high
interest rate environment so let's call
this interest rates this is what
interest rates have done let's let's say
interest rates Peak like this and then
you have this okay let's say that's your
interest rate future this assumes that
there's not some kind of dramatic crash
and then you get a massive plummet right
that's possible too so if this is the
interest rate trajectory and the Bitcoin
ETF launches
here ibtc which will probably lead to
the other ones we don't know that it's
official yet right but if this is the
case then you're probably going to have
most of the hype here and I personally
would probably want to be as close to
here as possible which is not here uh I
don't know that I want to be part of the
initial hype cycle I want to let you
know the aps get into their Arbitrage
Groove that'll minimize
spreads uh I think that btc's valuation
itself will be very pumped up on this
approval but I think adoption will be a
lot slower right like you you will see
an increase like this but then I think
you'll get something like that okay so
you get this you know initial surge of
Investments and then you get this slow
kind of swoosh up over time as rates
come down okay that means I don't really
personally think I want to invest at the
peak hype cycle when there there'll be
less liquidity for that
ETF I probably want to invest 60 90 days
later as the hype cycle dies but before
interest rates start getting cut
so that's that's my thesis now look you
have to determine your own thesis it's
really important that I mention I don't
have a bullish or bearish position on
bitcoin I mean maybe I have a leftover
coin or something somewhere but as far
as I'm aware of my portfolio doesn't
contain crypto and even though I'm a
licensed financial adviser licensed real
estate broker and licensed and becoming
a licensed stock broker this video is
neither personalized Financial advice
nor real estate advice nor is a tax
legal or otherwise personal advice t to
you this video provides generalized
perspective this shall not be deemed a
reasonably sufficient or endorsed uh uh
you know set of content for the purposes
of evaluating a security okay that's
really important and then I know some
people might be like wait but but is it
a
security okay whatever you call it
because that debate just really doesn't
matter right now whatever you call it I
can't make any kind of guarantees for
you or promises uh but what I can say is
yeah I I would I bitcoin's probably
going to act as a risk asset and I think
risk assets will actually do very well
I'm optimistic you know I'm an optimist
on on where we're going with the economy
so uh that means I uh I don't think that
we're going to have a massive Resurgence
of inflation and I don't think we're
going to have you know an ugly 2008 are
we going to have year-over-year turmoil
absolutely uh but uh ultimately I think
that uh you you'll see a slow
steady adoption for BTC it makes
adopting BTC substantially easier it'll
probably become something that people
have in their portfolio as a level of
diversification it's kind of like the
people who are investing in house hack a
big comment that we're getting is people
are saying I'm looking to diversify into
real estate you know I'm in crypto I'm
in stocks I got to get into some real
estate and uh that's how they're
choosing to do it so anyway thank you so
much for watching this is my take and
we'll see you in the next one good luck
and goodbye not advertise these things
that you told us here I feel like nobody
else knows about this we'll we'll try a
little advertising and see how it Go
congratulations man you have done so
much people love you people look up to
you Kevin PA there financial analyst and
