J
13:54JVHOST
But let me know your thoughts.
J
13:55JVHOST
In yesterday's episode, we deciphered Adam Back's prediction of Bitcoin hitting one million per coin before the next halving estimated to take place in April of 2028.
J
14:04JVHOST
Let me know if you agree or disagree with that.
J
14:07JVHOST
Also, more breaking news.

you end up having fewer participants in the network, which is bad for you, objectively speaking, because you're losing out on those fees.

However, if they think that this movement is too small, then they have their other economic incentives, including being friends with Saylor and Adam Back and people who are big in the space but were against this fork.
K
10:14Knut SvanholmHOST
So they have to weigh this economic decision one against the other.
K
10:19Knut SvanholmHOST
And the sales numbers of start nines and umbrals, like 5,000 new nodes fired up approximately, all of this is approximation.

J
2:26JVHOST
Meanwhile, the biggest pools of capital are positioning before the crowd.
J
2:30JVHOST
And Adam Back has been pounding the table on where this ultimately goes.
J
2:34JVHOST
This isn't some random crypto influencer throwing numbers at a wall.
J
2:37JVHOST
Back invented hash cash, the proof of work system that became a foundational precursor to Bitcoin.
J
2:43JVHOST
Satoshi Nakamoto corresponded directly with him during Bitcoin's creation, and Back has publicly maintained the standing bet that Bitcoin reaches one million per coin before the 2028 halving.
J
2:55JVHOST
He has also described something so much bigger.
J
2:57JVHOST
In an interview with CoinShares, Back said that if Bitcoin reaches its full potential, it could ultimately command a $200 trillion market cap.
J
3:06JVHOST
Think about that number.

widely endorsed in the BTC community.
P
14:26Paul SztorcGUEST
We have people like Adam Back, we have Rene Picard who wrote Master of Lightning, Robin Linus who invented BPM.
P
14:31Paul SztorcGUEST
So it's a long, long list of people.
P
14:34Paul SztorcGUEST
And the answer, the question is, if it's a good idea, why hasn't BTC adopted it? And so the answers are, maybe it's a terrible idea, what we're proposing, or, you know, the alternative explanation is just that there's this weird cultural problems in BTC.
Everything You Know About Satoshi Is WRONG | Alex Waltz

53:16ArchieHOST
You're not going to have as many resources to make sure that your solution is going to be well-engineered, right, from a security point of view.
A
53:25ArchieHOST
No, I know Adam Back also makes the argument that says, well, there's more complexity in shit-cornering.
A
53:30ArchieHOST
I know.
A
53:31ArchieHOST
All I'm saying is there are trade-offs either way, right? You can either go for this five-person shop in Canada with two devs, and we saw how that worked out, you know, but it was culturally pure, or you can go with a company that sells more units and probably has more engineering resources as well.

So just to give everybody a little context, Blockstream is a company that was founded by Adam Beck, who was one of potentially one of the early founders or contributors to Bitcoin.
B
3:03BlakeHOST
And Blockstream builds a bunch of products.
B
3:06BlakeHOST
They fund some of the Bitcoin corporations.
B
5:39BlakeHOST
Yeah.
B
5:40BlakeHOST
So quite a long time.
B
5:42BlakeHOST
And yeah, unfortunately, Adam might have to, Adam Beck might have to flip the bill for this one.
T
5:49TraceyHOST
Well, look, he may have some money stuck somewhere on the side because there's a lot of rumours for a while that he might have been Satoshi.

Landing industry leaders like Adam Back and Jack Mallers from day one significantly cements their credibility, positioning BMTV to become a primary source of institutional-grade insight.
S
31:06SatoshiHOST
Their laser focus on Bitcoin also fills a strategic vacuum, offering unfiltered expertise that mass-market crypto media often dilutes.
G

T
3:41Thomas HuntHOST
What do you think, especially about the end part where they say, hey, we want the rest of our money too.
B
3:48Ben ArkPANELIST
I think they have to legally say that because it was, I found it.

T
21:29Thomas HuntHOST
And as much as I agree, Blockstream has to come out and say, you dirty hackers, blah, blah, blah.
T
21:34Thomas HuntHOST
They've got to be so happy they got this money back.
T
21:36Thomas HuntHOST
You were saying it's really bad for Adam Back and all these things.
T
