I do agree, retail havent entered, there has been no blow off top, no euphoria. Im definitely in the 4 year cycle being extended. I still think we need a nice strong bounce which we havent really had, so I wouldnt be surprised if we hit 70k region and then recover very quickly. Santa rally this year was non existent. Thanks for all your hard work Brian, always enjoy your show. Have a great xmas to you and your family, 🎄🎄🎄

Good show . Looking cool with your xmas hat and getting into festive mood. 🎄 Crazy how the bitcoin price keeps getting smashed down. Its a shame, so many people will fall for it amd sell. Time to stand firm on our positions. 🙌

The best solution is keep your identity private and never engage with the law. If the law tries to engage with you, dont reciprocate. Once they put an X on your back (which they can only do if you naively make your identity public) then they will bait you to engage with them so you hand over information that they use to put you in prison. Samurai guys should never had engaged with the law when they were contacted. They were naive to think otherwise. Not to single them out in anyway, most people are taught to believe that those in authority using and enforcing the law is doing so in a good way for good purpose. I was brought up to believe that the purpose of the law is to protect us and that we should engage and answer questions from police and those in authority. Reality is, the law is designed to make money, and if it doesnt make money it wont be enforced. The police are trained to behave and act in a certain way. Their training is structured in a way that promotes more money to be made supporting agendas that kerp massive institutions rich and powerful. Individual police officers dont realuse this, most of them enter the profession with good intentions. Samurai guys are a threat to how massive institutions make money. And this is the only reason the law has been used to put them in prison. To protect the status quo corrupt ways in which massive financial institutions make money. And to send a message to any coder out there, you could be next. Just remember, it is written in law that we do NOT need to answer any questions anyone asks us, regardless of position of authority, police, government, the king, or the pope. The law in this instance is protecting us, we just need to know it exists and then enforce it, should the time come we need to use it. This is written in UK law and US law and all countries that follow western law and even many countries that dont follow western law. Samurai guys really shouldnt have made their identity so public. Ross Ulbrict eg. did everything right, it was just bad luck the way they cornered him, had he not stepped away from his computer logged in, they wouldnt have been able to get the information they used against him. And I suppose he could have protected his bitcoin better in self custody. Hiding his keys in a popcorn tin. Come on he could have done a better job to protect his bitcoin stash than that. Plenty of lessons to be learned. Expect alot of things that are perfectly legal today to become illegal in the future. And every day normal law abiding citizens to be turned into criminals. I've heard Trump can pardon the Samurai guys. Fingers crossed he steps in. 🤞

Hope you enjoyed your break last week . Good to see you back. You've got back just in time when prices are crashing. 🤣 All the bullish news is just too good. Seems like there is a lag on the price. The longer it takes for price to react, the more explosive it will be when we skyrocket. Terrible news about the Samurai wallet bitcoin devs. News like this reminds me why privacy is so important and the need to keep your identity private and confirms why Satoshi Nakamoto stayed anonymous. If Satoshi had became public they would have nailed him to a cross! 🥺 its the world we live in.

Really good show . Who would think all the bullish news you listed when looking at price. 🚀 Well earned break, take it easy next week, relax and enjoy your holiday. 💯

Yes i totally agree, these crashes are pushing people to give up their bitcoin so institutions can come in get them cheaper. Surely if we break into 70k range, that will be it. 🤞 Thank good show reminding us to remain with diamond hands 👍
