Bitcoin as a Chaos Trade, the Liquidity Barometer, Future Security Model: Token Narratives Ep. 20

In this episode, the Bitcoin.com crew discuss Bitcoin’s emerging use case as the trade of choice when geopolitical events unfold in real time. This leads into a discussion of Lyn Alden’s “Bitcoin as a Liquidity Barometer” research report. Then they dive into the future of Bitcoin’s security model including a discussion on the feasibility of Layer-2s as a solution, the growing trend for Bitcoin miners to leverage the AI boom to stay in business, and a general appreciation of the Bitcoin mining industry and its impact on electricity production.

We also discuss Nic Carter’s post mortem on the Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank collapses and his assertion that they were politically motivated.

We close with our market gut check. Spoiler alert: we’re bullish.
