We cover the power law model that puts Bitcoin at $1,000,000 in the 2030s, MicroStrategy’s STRC vs US Treasuries, why bond yields could stay low past $40T debt, the 400x capital gap to BlackRock and Fidelity’s target allocations, how AI is forcing investors to recategorize Bitcoin, and why hyperbitcoinization isn’t coming.
