Episode notes
Bitcoin: Still Contrarian?
- Most of the world is not yet invested in Bitcoin, making the "everyone's on board" argument naive.
- The potential for a US Bitcoin strategic reserve could trigger further sovereign adoption.
Strategic Reserve Impact
- The US government holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve could signal future intentions.
- This might be enough to trigger other nations to follow, regardless of US purchasing volume.

- RIAs prioritize investments with demonstrable earnings and growth potential over store-of-value assets.
