In this commentary, the speaker argues that powerful interests have a motive to keep Bitcoin’s price from soaring excessively, while many market participants prioritize convenience, often holding Bitcoin in the form of unverified IOU balances tracked on spreadsheets, effectively creating a fractional‑reserve system. The speaker challenges the popular narrative of an imminent supply shock that will catapult Bitcoin’s price, suggesting that price movements may simply reflect speculative behavior regardless of whether the underlying assets are real or IOU‑based. Emphasizing the value of self‑custody, the speaker advises that downturns are opportunities to accumulate Bitcoin and store it securely, and stresses that the more meaningful question for individuals is whether their earnings retain purchasing power, rather than chasing hype about rapid price gains.

  1. So there's a lot of powerful parties that will not have in their best interest for the price to climb too high. And then there's the convenience part. People love convenience, so they don't mind buying IOU Bitcoins. Like, I bet a lot of the market currently is just Excel sheet basically keeping track of people's balances and doing fractional reserve because nobody cares to verify if they actually have that money or not. And I think this is going to be an increasing problem. Well, problem in the sense that if you think the NGU way and if you think in terms of like, oh, supply shock is coming and it's going to rocket Bitcoin to the moon, and maybe it's not. Maybe Bitcoin price just goes up because people like speculating and it doesn't matter if it's IOU Bitcoin or it's real Bitcoin. Of course, it matters to people like us who take self-custody. It's a great opportunity. In fact, when Bitcoin goes down, you can stack more and you can put it in the cold and It will be good for you. But I think this kind of like omega candle, this kind of talk about Bitcoin going up really fast, really quickly during our lifetimes, it's maybe not what you should be saying. I think what you should be saying is, are you free? Is your salary buying the same as it used to, more or less? These are the questions that make people think.
