Bitcoin Will Never Have Another 80% Crash | Eric Yakes

from What Bitcoin Did

“Everything’s structurally changed.” Eric Yakes is back on the show to explain why Bitcoin may never suffer another 80% crash, and why the recent 50% drawdown could prove that the four year cycle is finally dead. We discuss whether yield curve control has arrived under another name, why Bitcoin is becoming a hedge against monetary debasement and the potential for a great rotation out of AI and gold and why gold could reach $10,000 while Bitcoin runs from $80,000 to $800,000. Eric also gets into how the US push for stablecoins could unintentionally accelerate Bitcoin adoption, why stablecoins may provide the route to hyperbitcoinization, how Bitcoin could become the world’s most valuable collateral and why fractional reserve banking might actually help Bitcoin win.
