He explains how instruments like perpetual preferred equity (Strive’s SATA and Strategy’s STRC) allow massive pools of TradFi capital—like insurance companies—to gain exposure to Bitcoin’s appreciation without suffering 80% volatility. This engine converts cheap fiat debt into hard Bitcoin. We discuss the concept of Bitcoin as the new global hurdle rate and why risk is currently mispriced globally

They reveal that recent Bitcoin price action is driven by significant "OG selling" and liquidity draining, signaling a pre-event tightening in the system. Lawrence explains the key difference: gold is sniffing out monetary debasement, while Bitcoin is the perfect "liquidity fire alarm" reacting to what the system cannot print anymore. Both guests agree the Fed is trapped and another massive "big print" is mathematically certain, which will eventually force a historic, non-temporary monetary shift. This certainty means Bitcoin isn't a trade but a long-term position in a debasement trend that will see it eventually reprice the entire monetary order.
