About this episode
Eric Yakes lays out why Bitcoin is on track for $10 million, and how cultural shifts, institutional adoption, and political realities are accelerating the path. From revolutions and mass movements to balance sheets and BlackRock ETFs, Eric explains why Bitcoin is unlike any other asset in financial history.
We get into why qualitative forces - belief, culture, and narrative - drive Bitcoin’s price as much as math, how the rise of treasury companies and governments adopting Bitcoin could fundamentally change markets, and why neutral, permissionless money is the escape valve from today’s credit-driven system. Eric also explores what a $10M Bitcoin world might look like: from time preference shifts and new architecture to political legitimacy and global strategic reserves.
In this episode:
- Why Eric believes Bitcoin can reach $10M within a decade

- The role of ETFs, treasury companies, and government reserves
