Why Wall Street is Quietly Fueling Bitcoin's Most Hated Rally
The Last Trade: Jackson, Michael, and Brian break down PTJ's bitcoin conviction, equities at 252% of GDP, TradFi's gold underweight, Sztorc's "eCash" fork, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve tease, & why custody governance rights matter.
🎙️ About This Episode
Record onboardings for Onramp Finance, with Genesis spots still open (code TLT for additional sats). PTJ reaffirms his bitcoin thesis on Invest Like the Best while the macro setup for hard assets sharpens: equities at 252% of GDP, all-time-high equity allocations, and B of A private clients at just 0.4% gold. Plus Witt's reserve announcement tease, Sztorc's proposal to fork bitcoin and redistribute Satoshi's coins, and why governance rights at ETFs, DATs, and centralized custodians may prove decisive.
