Episode notes
Rumors Move Markets Before Proof
- The Venezuela Bitcoin reserve rumor is moving as a narrative even without public proof.
- Rumors often lead facts, but taking Bitcoin off market via seizure would be bullish by reducing available supply.
Passing On A Venezuelan Mine Pitch
- Ryan recounted passing on a Venezuelan mining project years ago due to political risk.
- He called it a bad idea because local actors often impose unforeseen fees and seizures.

- If seized Venezuelan Bitcoin becomes U.S. custody, that reduces circulating supply and is bullish.
- Whether funds are criminal proceeds or looted state assets will determine political outcomes, but the market effect is similar.
