LFG! Thanks Saif for inviting us on your podcast. It's an honor! ❤

Why not have a crypto thats fixed to gold. Lets say 1 crypto equals 1 oz of gold. If there is a way to have virtual zero 3rd party risk then bit coin becomes useless.

what happens if the BTC is banned by the government. How do I buy my goods for daily needs? Should I have to leave my country to spend bitcoin?

Strike app --> Switzerland?

Thank you as usual Saif; I'm almost done with your 3rd book and after I plan to read Fiat Food.

This dude going to be the biggest sucker when they tie this to Jeffrey!

First!

So according to Brent the only kind of crises is a liquidity crisis. What about inflation crisis?

He’s terrible and a crook liar

Michael Saylor rightfully complains about the system being rigged, good for wealthy property owners and suppressing workers. But the way he talks about Bitcoin being a pristine collateral property and how the current system classifies BTC as property (n subject to taxes, etc) does NOT help the worker. It may help the worker that bought in early but it doesn't fix the system. Workers will get priced out of BTC the same as they r currently priced out of real estate and other assets. It only fixes the system if BTC is THE world's money because then it gets redistributed according to the value people exchange (unless gov screw things up, which they will because people r ignorant).

I think I would rather sell my bitcoin each month as I need the cash to see me out. Who here is borrowing against their bitcoin to live, and who is selling parts of it to live month to month?

53:55 lol... I literally started howling when Saif made that counter point... Society isn't a collaboration of people working together for collective reciprocal progress, it's either a prison or a feudal farm according to Keynesians. Lol. This is it! This is basically what differentiates a bitcoiner from non coiners. This worldview.

Great interview

🍊glasses! Love it Saif … 👍👍👍

The best performing asset in the history of the world is BITCOIN. It is by far the best store of value. 10 years from now you’ll be thankful for every dollar you put into it.. My two cents.

Can you do a video about how transaction fees will need to replace the subsidy ? After 16 years BTC is typically only generating around $200 a minute in transaction fees ($2k per block) to keep the miners and network alive without the mining subsidy which with each halving trends to zero Off-chain L2 transactions drain revenue from miners and there is a big trend towards BTC moving into ETF's and the 'never sell your Bitcoin' mentality which does nothing to support the network Increase the block size or increase the supply 🤔 Peter Todd wrote a paper about increasing BTC coin supply in 2022. most likely why 'they' announced him as Satoshi in the recent HBO Documentary IF (when) the proposal to increase BTC supply happens things could get very interesting for Bitcoin Cash or even BSV which retains the original protocol "set in stone"

I think both guys were a bit stubborn here when they were just looking at it differently. Saylor seemed a little defensive to the counter idea. Which might be because Saylor has been pushing store of value for awhile now and bitcoin doesn’t need to change everything. It’s a lot easier for the world to accept. It’s also more likely than changing everything on planet earth. So they should have talked nicer but good discussion.

Compared NVIDIA to btc 😂

All I hear is Brent saying, it’ll never work because the government won’t allow it. The idea that bitcoin will be just for storing dollar value is ridiculous.

What if you could reset bitcoin to its beginning and let everyone buy in cheap but put a cap on it where you could only buy a certain amount for the first year? what would this look like or am i just too high rightnow to see how this could play out.

If bitcoin goes to say 10 million per coin and let's say that happens in 10 years and that 10 million dollars is what it would cost you in fiat dollars and fiat is slowly going to zero then what would be the actual value of a 10 million dollar bitcoin that is based on fiat that is going to zero, help me understand, is that 10 million dollar bitcoin really going to be worth that much or will the fiat be so worthless that if you cashed out that 10 million your buying power would be nothing?

I like bitcoin and Mr. S.A. Still. Not a good metaphor. A sinking ship is better than going into space where you die from lack of magnetism especially wearing airPods radiating into your brains entrance.

Digital gold yes. Global currency, very difficult.

Crazy how he had no answer for the ghaza scenario. If bitcoin can actually provide that kind of revolutionary change and aid, why wouldn’t we support it.

The "NO" at 32:44 and the "yes" afterwards is REEKING of "I know I'm lying right now" vibes. HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS BIASED TOWARDS ACTS OF TERROR. You are one lying biased piece of sht.

I admire Brent's humility and patience.

I dont trust Michael sailor, he creeps me out .

I read "Against Intellectual Property" in the mid-90s when I was first getting into and studying Linux and cryptography and it blew my little mind! I've been a big fan ever since!

For gold, I see your point and tend to agree, but the “cost” to store Bitcoin is so minimal that I can’t imagine the risk of default on a loan ever being lower than the cost of Bitcoin storage. Combine that with time preference always being positive, and even in a very low time preference society, I think interest can get very low, but never zero.

Amous’ position is religious. Interest is haram in Islam. He’ll bend history and rationality to make that case.

"Treasuries are just another shit coin" - Saif

He's getting quality rubenga, nose running like a tap

Excellent episode. You both are killing it. I have come to the point where equity will be a rounding error in my portfolio in a not too distant future 🧡

Imagine someone telling the post office will beat the internet because most ppl today use the post office 😂😂.

Brent - with recently Trump administration developments. What are your thoughts on bitcoin becxome reserve asset or currency is?>

Is this a prank? Lol

funny that the other day i thought about what your next book could be about and came to the conclusion that a book about what a world under a hard money standard would actually look like would be very interesting to read! im soo happy to hear that this book will actually be released ❤

When the Prophet ﷺ is mentioned say Sallallaahu alayhi wasalaam 1:41:00 - 1:42:05

Thanks for sharing your Lebanon life experience, Bitcoin has saved my life too! Keep on informing all citizens about it, please! Information is always the best weapon towards ignorance.

Nobody’s really saying that we have nothing to worry about and bitcoin is inevitable. Nobody’s really saying that.!

Can anyone have the UN false claim removed or corrected ? In Europe we now have climate justice!

Something for nothing.

that spreadsheet is so crude. if you're going to show it to the world, at least label the elements. also, it's nice to put the mouse on the cell when you are talking about it so that people can see your formula.

Is this presentation available somewhere? The slides aren't clear in the video. 🙁

Regarding your question what are causes of the current economic problems in Nigeria? Economist Nathan Nunn in his research paper ‘The Long-Term Effects of Africa's Slave Trades’, shows strong evidence there is a negative relationship between the number of slaves exported from a country and current economic performance.

Bitcoin = You will be HAPPY…😊 but you will have NOTHING 😮 scary concept when the lights go out

Interest would be immortal in a low to negative inflation environment. But in the world of 8% inflation, lending costs money.

One better: sats will appreciate in real terms faster than the cost of miner fees, which means there will be negative nominal interest rates, but still positive in real terms.

Saylor how greedy do you gota be 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

It’s glaringly obvious that the overwhelming majority of commenters here are optimists, and while optimism can be healthy in that it drives change and innovation, it often leads people to form irrational conclusions. The one thing all of you people saying Saif won seem to forgetting is that there are two institutions in the way of the dreamy scenario he’s painted; namely governments and central banks.
