About this episode
Our partners, Brendan Quinn and Jon Frisch, reflect on Bitcoin's monumental year in 2024, topping at $107,000 per bitcoin. With BTC ETFs going live—becoming some of the best-performing funds ever—Bitcoin has solidified its place in portfolios beyond retail investors. They explore how election dynamics, including a pro-crypto "Red Wave," and nation-state game theory are driving adoption, with countries potentially buying Bitcoin to outpace the U.S. Could this spark the next big price surge?
They also discuss shifting Overton windows, MicroStrategy’s bold strategy, and whether fear of government bans is fading. Tune in for this deep dive into Bitcoin’s unprecedented year and its future implications.
