3.3k Anyone here that’s new. I will be honest I’ve disagreed with Moe a quite a few things. But I sure appreciate the time and work. Personally my favorite trilogy is episode 44-45-46 go back and listen if your new here and caught on post episode 50. Starting at episode 1 makes most sense but if ur a casual listener I’m telling u 44-46 is a trilogy that should be put on CD and mailed to e dynamical citizens. Good Job Moe! You too Adam!

333 Love u guys! But seriously retire the Super Cycle BS. We’ll go up less each cycle due to size of cap. We’ll keep going up but it’s ridiculous to shill the 1 million area for 2025.

333 Literally impossible to be a “Super Cycle” please stop with this crap. It’s not going to out perform 2017 from 2015 bottom level. That’s ridiculous to even consider. We weren’t going to near 2 million.

101 The fact even reasonable people like this guest mostly sounds to be, are still acting like Gold VS Bitcoin is a thing worth talking is foolish. Gold is a ally not a enemy.
geneeverettFeb 7, 2026
101 One of the more reasonable guests, but ignoring the previous cycles as just random they all match up is silly. No 60K is not bottom. 46K is coming. & no not going to zero. He said same thing about going below 25K in 2022 and we went down another 40% or so, we always overdo it and we will see 50K break.

101 U guys discuss the files, but don’t even read them and spend 20 minutes speculating. If ur finna discuss , how about spending time actually doing some research, if we wanted moronic speculation, we could talk to our friends. Podcast we expect more then this dumb show
geneeverettFeb 6, 2026
101 We are in the bear part of cycle, we aren’t bottoming here, we will bottom close to 40K, we always do , last time was 15K, from 69K, how can u seriously say we are close to bottoming only 4 months out from cycle high? We will bottom let’s 2026 or 2027. Stop pretending the 4 year cycle died, it didn’t

1k 100% agreed you need both Medium of Exchange and Store of Value. The Bitcoin that are held by ETF custodian lose the MoE function. We gotta educate people as so many are considering moving their coins to ETF because “self custody is hard”. That would destroy Bitcoin’s value. SoV cannot existing alone.

Great episode…this is one of those episodes that help move family and friends further down the btc path. Keep up the good work
-
Dave is an idiot. The US Constitution absolutely does not and never has protected the right to own gold. It says states may only pay their debts in gold and silver. 6102 in no way changed that
-
@npub1ahxjq4v0z… you hit the nail on the head when talking about nuance. I call it the marvel effect. Everyone’s a good guy or bad guy. No more grey area.
-
While he’s not ENTIRELY wrong… as in I wouldn’t be able to say for certain that the state won’t do a 180 and turn against bitcoin and outlaw it (I agree that if our governments collectively outlaw bitcoin, anyone who owns in will be jailed for 10 years, then we could be in trouble), I think he failed to listen to Natalie’s point of “we are not seeing it”. Bitcoin being embraced by the elites is seen as a negative by Dave (“Larry Fink is not your friend”), but at the same time after Larry Fink embraces it we can be pretty comfortable that the “anyone who owns it gets sent to jail” won’t be happening.
-
Oh boy. You really tried Natalie but he really doesn’t understand bitcoin. And bitcoin is not intuitive. You really have to understand the protocol before you can be confident. He is however right about us not understanding how bad things can get. We are a bit complacent about how violent the state can become (Israel as an example).
-
Credit to you @npub1ahxjq4v0z… for getting these types of people onto your show 👏🏻, and for staying patient with them 😌. Fun to hear them dribbling the same FUD, rooted in the old system. Clearly lacking in proper undersanding of Bitcoin and scared to make an educated bet on the future. Dude probably held Blockbuster and Kodak stock all the way down 😜
-
Can’t take Dave seriously anymore. He’s been shilling debunked takes regularly.
