It’s Over: Bitcoin Just Broke The US Dollar
Sign up for the Gemini Credit Card: – Let's discuss Bitcoin, why it's rising in price, its future price predictions, and how you can best use these resources to come out ahead – Enjoy! Add me on Instagram: GPStephan
THE BITCOIN MONEY PROBLEM:
We’ve seen 10% annualized returns in the SP500 since the 1920s, but we’ve also printed an average of 10% more money, every year, during that exact same time. This is the problem that many peple believe Bitcoin solves.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND:
As of today, 62% of adults say they own stocks, 65% say they own a home, but just 14% say they own Bitcoin. Who's buying? It’s a mix of institutions and ETFs who are adding as much Bitcoin to their balance sheets as they possibly can.
In this case, Microstrategy currently owns 2.6% of its circulating supply, Tesla added it to their reserve in 2021, BlackRock’s ETF is one of the fastest growing funds – of ALL TIME, pension funds are beginning to buy in, and even the United States has a stockpile worth tens of billions of dollars.
As proof of this, 261 entities currently have bitcoin on their balance sheets (as a replacement for holding on to the US dollar) and 9 countries actively own it, including China who seems to be quickly catching up to the United States.
All of this is becoming so significant that 65% of investors say that “they plan to buy or invest in digital assets in the future." In terms of performance since 2015:
Inflation has averaged 2.65%
The Dollar Has Lost -26% Of Its Value
Home Prices Are Up Roughly 100%
Gold Has Risen 181%
The SP500 Has Increased 200%
And Bitcoin is up 35,000%
THE BITCOIN RISKS:
Warren Buffet Said: “You can’t value Bitcoin because it’s not a value-producing asset…If you buy something like Bitcoin or some cryptocurrency, you don’t really have anything that has produced anything. You’re just hoping the next guy pays more.”
To clarify this even further, he then explained that “Assets, to have value, have to deliver something to somebody. And there’s only one currency that’s accepted. You can come up with all kinds of things — we can put up Berkshire coins… but in the end, this is money (referring to a $20 bill), and there’s no reason in the world why the United States government is going to let Berkshire money replace theirs.”
This is why I’ve personally just taken the approach of investing a small amount of my portfolio into a Bitcoin ETF, on a regular basis, regardless of where it trades. If it’s worth more money one day – GREAT…and if it’s not…it really wouldn’t make that big of a difference.

Hey Graham, you may want to run a screen calibration because your white balance is off a bit.
Hurry buy chain of nothing before the world runs out of chain of nothing!
Very rare chain of nothing.🤪🤪
Bitcoin didn’t break the dollar. The dollar is tanking and Bitcoin is rising because of that.
One could argue that the dollar is partly tanking because there are so many other alternatives.
Bitcoin is also rising in euro terms. So it’s not just the USD tanking. But it’s true that my portfolio is ATH in dollar terms and not ATH in euro terms
When the dollar does well bitcoin tanks
When the dollar goes down gold and bitcoin go up it’s that simple
Tomatoh.
Bitcoin is the hardest asset of all time. It may take longer than the predictions in this video, but the dollar is cooked. Bitcoin will become the world’s reserve asset in my lifetime.
When Uber Driver is talking about Bitcoin … be careful
uh oh…is it that time again?
@@GrahamStephan😂 Almost
What about when the president of the United States, the secretary of treasury and the CEO of black rock talk about it???
🚀 🚀 🌕
Bubble?
Not yet
These titles are obnoxious
Clickbait 101
Engagement farming 101
It’s not that deep. You still clicked on the video so why are you whining?
Made you click, made you comment. Huge W for him 😂
So many fangirls jumping to his defence 😂😂😂
I check Your channel everyday for my source on how the economy is doing. Thanks Graham
Happy to help! I try to post about once a week at this point, sometimes more or less depending on what’s happening.
📈✨ I still remember 2020 — I was delivering food 10 hours a day during lockdown, exhausted but saving every penny. One night, I listened to one of your older videos about dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin. I took the plunge, started with just $50 a week. Fast forward to now: that decision literally changed my financial life. 🙏💡 Thank you, Graham, for giving real-world advice that doesn’t feel like hype. You helped a delivery driver become a long-term investor. 🚗➡📊 Never thought I’d say this, but I’m actually excited to open my portfolio every morning now. 🚀💥 Keep doing what you do, man! Subscribed forever 🔔❤
Put in X amount, when X doubles, cash out X amount and leave the other X amount in forever.
Cost you nothing overall and whatever X that was left in becomes is all profit even if it drops below the original X value.
Why 100% ? Why not 200 or 50 ?
Count for inflation and if you needed that money then
I put in X at the top and the bottom falls out. I lose X forever funding somebody else’s X. They live well. I go on the dole.
When you said you invest in Bitcoin etf it was like a record scratch moment. There are too many examples of ppl losing their Bitcoin because they don’t hold in self custody. Not your keys, not your coin. All that said, I’ve invested in gld so I understand convenience and know that I’m taking a risk too. Good luck!
Whats up Graham, it’s guys here.
Hey Graham
Graham you got to reach out to Clear Value Tax for a pod cast episode

The US dollar is a belief system. Bitcoin is a belief system.
Go print me some new Bitcoin… Thnx
Economists said Bitcoin was going to zero. Economists also said we’re supposed to be in The Great Depression 2.0 by now because of Trump policies. Economists say a lot of things according to what their PhD universities have taught them. They have a 50/50 chance of being right. Same as the rest of us 😂
Blackrock: number 1 investor of bitcoin, slowly building bags.
Also Blackrock: we recommend you buy bitcoin now that we own a lot of it.
Bitcoin has no top because fiat has no bottom.
If that credit card existed in 2012, if you bought anything and 1% was returned as bitcoin, the bitcoin would be worth more than anything you bought with the card, even more than putting the 100% into the S&P500.
The price of bitcoin won’t affect Graham’s lifestyle because he spends $25 per day
That bitcoin-vs-M2 graph looked compelling at first. Upon further examination, though, it’s a little misleading. It’s meant to imply a direct correlation there without leading you to the conclusion that bitcoin may be becoming overpriced. If you look at the left and right scales closely, you’ll notice that M2 went up by about 10% in that timeframe, while bitcoin actually went up 3x (up 200%). Also, the bitcoin scale is actually logarithmic, while the M2 scale is linear, which is supposed to persuade you even more that the person who created the graph is a genius and found something that’s so clear that you’d be a fool to ignore it.
Make the world economy dependent on the price of bitcoin, what can go wrong?
$BTC, $ETH & $ZKJ ascending… gracefully to the stratosphere 🚀📈
when the 3 largest holders of Bitcoin sell the whole Pyramid scheme will collapse.
