Rajat Soni, CFA - This metric shows that Bitcoin is about to collapse
The speaker highlights a correlation between Bitcoin's price and the global M2 money supply, noting that as the money supply increases, so does Bitcoin's price. However, the speaker argues that Bitcoin's price can rise independently of the money supply due to its growing perception as a safe haven asset. The discussion includes comparisons with other assets like gold and the S&P 500, emphasizing that Bitcoin's fixed supply makes it a more reliable store of value. The speaker suggests that as more people and companies recognize Bitcoin's potential, they will shift their investments from traditional assets like gold and stocks to Bitcoin. This shift is driven by the finite supply of Bitcoin and its increasing demand, contrasting with the infinite supply of fiat currencies and the risks associated with traditional investments. The speaker also mentions the potential for real estate investors to convert their assets into Bitcoin, further driving demand and reducing Bitcoin's availability in the market.
Key Points:
- Bitcoin's price correlates with the global M2 money supply but can rise independently due to its fixed supply and increasing demand.
- Bitcoin is perceived as a safe haven asset, potentially replacing gold and the S&P 500 as a store of value.
- The finite supply of Bitcoin contrasts with the infinite supply of fiat currencies, making it a more attractive investment.
- Real estate investors are beginning to convert properties into Bitcoin, indicating a shift in asset preference.
- The speaker predicts a future where Bitcoin becomes a primary savings vehicle, with significant implications for traditional financial systems.

- Bitcoin is increasingly seen as a preferred safe haven due to its fixed supply of 21 million, contrasting with gold's variable supply potential.
- Unexpected gold supply increases have been reported, such as China's $80 billion discovery and El Salvador's $3 trillion claim, impacting gold's price stability.
- The potential for new gold discoveries affects gold's attractiveness as a stable safe haven, highlighting Bitcoin's advantage in supply predictability.
