This conversation is about finding hope, agency, and embracing a surprisingly conservative, long-game view.

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.

Pius—an Ivy League–trained mathematician turned Wall Street trader—was on the inside of “The Big Short” trade and later ran Deutsche Bank’s bad bank. Today he is a bold Bitcoin advocate, arguing that Bitcoin is not just another asset but the first true separation of money and state, as profound as separating church and state 500 years ago.We discuss why 2008 never got solved, how fiat money fuels inequality and war, and why Bitcoin’s foundation in math and physics makes its rise to $1M inevitable—without causing systemic chaos. Pius shares insights from his decades in high finance, Bitcoin’s growing adoption in U.S. pensions and institutions, its role in personal financial sovereignty, and how power law trajectories shape Bitcoin price predictions.If you want to understand Bitcoin investment, Wall Street finance, risk management, and the global financial reset already underway, this high-signal conversation delivers essential knowledge and perspective.

The discussion centers on power laws governing Bitcoin's exponential growth patterns and the network effects driving adoption.Key mathematical concepts include Bitcoin's supply constraints creating predictable scarcity dynamics, market efficiency through volatility patterns, and the Kelly Criterion for optimal investment sizing. Perrenod highlights how Bitcoin's growth follows similar power law distributions seen in other revolutionary technologies.The conversation examines Bitcoin's market cap trajectory toward $1 million per coin, analyzing liquidity triggers for market bubbles and institutional adoption mathematics. They emphasize Bitcoin's technological evolution mirrors other network-effect innovations, where value increases exponentially with user adoption rather than linearly.The mathematical thesis: Bitcoin's fixed supply algorithm combined with growing network adoption creates a deflationary asset with predictable long-term price appreciation, making the million-dollar target a mathematical probability rather than speculation.

In his latest book about Praxeology, Knut talks about this approach to economics and social science, where logic and deductive reasoning alone could provide more robust explanations for people's actions than empiricism ever could.

Tim Niemeyer's journey into Bitcoin started in 2018 and is enriched by his diverse background, which encompasses being a USAF avionics technician, insights from his psychology degree, and experience as an elementary teacher. These unique perspectives culminate in his recently published book, 'History Echoes Bitcoin: Understanding the Value of Bitcoin's Properties Through the Lens of History.' In his book, Tim bridges the gap between historical events and the foundational properties of Bitcoin. These properties include permissionlessness, consensus-building, decentralization, trust minimization, censorship resistance, open-source collaboration, immutability, and scarcity. Through his writing, Tim illustrates how each of these qualities has not only been instrumental in the advancement of humanity but also how they collectively form the compelling value proposition of Bitcoin. Each historical parallel in 'History Echoes Bitcoin' serves as a lesson for us to either choose to learn from or ignore. It aims to show how the properties that give Bitcoin its value are each individually beneficial and collectively compelling. Zoom out and you will see!

Marc is an entrepreneur whose journey has taken him from psychology and high-stakes poker to a dedicated focus on Bitcoin. Fuelled by the 2020 pandemic, Marc took an extraordinary leap of faith. He sold everything and embarked on a nearly three-year global journey with his family, questioning deeply ingrained beliefs about money, economics, and social inequality. He came to understand the broken fiat financial system and how little control individuals have over their financial destiny. This put him on a mission to help individuals and businesses seamlessly integrate Bitcoin into their lives. As he now does with his company. Don't miss this compelling conversation where we self-reflect and explore the philosophical and spiritual journey that led both of us to Bitcoin, and hopefully you too! → Follow Marc on https://x.com/mvanversendaal → Connect with Marc on https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcvanversendaal/ → Marc’s company: https://cryptounseen.com 🔔 Subscribe to never miss an upcoming episode of Bitcoin for Millennials, → YouTube: ⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@bramk⁠⁠ → Follow Bram on ⁠⁠https://x.com/bramk
