A quick read from the 18,793-word episode transcript.

1 Bitcoin's like a mirror for these reckless government spending programs and monetary properties kind of allow it to do that 2 given its scarcity and its fixed supply and all these things that allows it to be really tied and correlated to the liquidity.

6 Because we mentioned the US a lot, but the US is like in a better position than all these other countries around the world.

7 And so Bitcoin is needed even more so in these emerging markets with even more unstable fiscal situations and currencies.

Bitcoin's like a mirror for these reckless government spending programs and monetary properties kind of allow it to do that

given its scarcity and its fixed supply and all these things that allows it to be really tied and correlated to the liquidity.

And so I just think and given the how young it is and how it's still growing and it's still early in its adoption cycle,

that's why there's so much potential opportunity because not only do I feel like it's kind of built for these times and the value proposition is very strong,

it's also very young and so that allows it to have significant potential price appreciation as adoption continues to grow all around the globe.

Because we mentioned the US a lot, but the US is like in a better position than all these other countries around the world.

And so Bitcoin is needed even more so in these emerging markets with even more unstable fiscal situations and currencies.

So yeah, I mean, obviously I'm bullish on Bitcoin, but I really think that it's kind of like it's made for the times.
