00:02 hey everyone you need to read the
00:03 bullish case for Bitcoin by VJ boyapati
00:07 in order to understand why the price of
00:09 Bitcoin goes up and down the way it does
00:12 if you do not read that book and you
00:14 don't understand bitcoin's price Cycles
00:16 then it seems random to you it seems
00:18 like uh as one person told me the price
00:20 of Bitcoin goes all over the place like
00:22 a drunken sailor uh no it doesn't it's
00:25 actually surprisingly predictable on the
00:27 long term or in the long term on a
00:30 longtime scale if you understand how the
00:33 forces of supply and demand interact
00:36 with Bitcoin and why there generally is
00:39 a 4-year price cycle where three years
00:42 the price goes up and one year the price
00:44 goes down um so the three up years were
00:47 201 11 12 and 13 down in 14 up years 15
00:51 16 uh what was it up years down in 14 up
00:55 years in six uh 15 16 and 17 2017 down
00:58 in 2018 up in 2019 2020 and 2021 down in
01:03 2022 up in 2023 2024 and we expect 2025
01:08 and why there might be we don't know but
01:10 there might be a price correction in
01:12 2026 now maybe the Bitcoin exchange
01:14 traded funds the Bitcoin ETF that were
01:16 launched in January mean that there
01:18 won't be those price Cycles anymore and
01:20 we're in something called the super
01:22 cycle and that could be the case we
01:24 don't know but what is important is that
01:26 you understand why Bitcoin behaves the
01:28 way it does because if you understand it
01:31 uh it's like reading a parenting book
01:32 right if you if you read a really good
01:34 parenting book it helps you understand
01:36 why your kids behave the way they do and
01:39 that can help you adjust and accommodate
01:41 and you know take action appropriately
01:44 based on why your kids behave the way
01:46 they do well the same is true of Bitcoin
01:48 its price movements are not random
01:50 they're based on supply and demand in
01:52 the short term which often is difficult
01:54 to to figure out why they go the price
01:56 goes up and down any hour or any day or
01:58 any week but over the months quarters or
02:01 years you can figure out for the most
02:04 part why now you don't know how high
02:06 it's going to go or how low it's going
02:07 to go so it's not like you can time the
02:09 tops or the bottoms no nobody can tell
02:12 you where the tops or the bottoms will
02:14 be on bitcoin um because that's
02:18 unknowable as they say don't time the
02:20 market and the reason they say they
02:21 don't don't time the market is nobody
02:24 knows when exactly the highs and lows
02:26 are going to be and nobody also knows
02:28 exactly how high the highs will or how
02:30 low the lows will be you just know that
02:32 at some point if you have a sense for
02:35 why Bitcoin behaves the way it does then
02:37 you will be prepared and it won't seem
02:39 strange to you when the price does go up
02:41 and down so for example after 2021 when
02:44 the price went through a price
02:45 correction in 2022 if you had read the
02:48 bullish case for Bitcoin you knew why it
02:50 was doing what it was doing uh you
02:51 didn't know how far it was going to go
02:53 down you didn't know how fast it was
02:55 going to come back up but you you knew
02:56 it was going down and it would come back
02:58 up um so at least you could be prepared
02:60 preped for it again it doesn't let you
03:01 time the exact timing it doesn't let you
03:04 find the exact top or bottom but at
03:06 least you know why things are happening
03:08 um so for example it's the equivalent if
03:11 you're you know far out at Sea and
03:14 there's a major storm if you don't
03:16 understand weather then you don't
03:18 understand that the storm will pass
03:20 right by its nature the storm will pass
03:22 but if you have no idea what the weather
03:24 is and you're out at Sea and you get hit
03:26 by a storm it's easy to assume oh maybe
03:29 this far out at Sea there's always a
03:31 storm and the entire journey is going to
03:34 be a storm which would probably lead you
03:36 to turn back cuz you're like oh I don't
03:38 want to go farther than 100 miles from
03:40 the shore because the last time I went
03:42 100 miles from a the shore I hit a storm
03:45 and I just assume it's all Storm from
03:46 there on out well the truth is of course
03:49 not the storms come and go and if you're
03:51 in a storm and you wait long enough
03:53 you're going to get out of the storm
03:54 well if you understand that when then
03:56 when a storm hits you on the high seas
03:58 rather than turning back you understand
03:60 and hey we have to ride this one out and
04:02 here's how we ride this one out and this
04:04 two shall pass and we will have clear
04:07 skies and you know a wind for sailing
04:09 and all that sort of stuff so reading
04:11 the bullish case for Bitcoin is very
04:13 similar in that when there are storms in
04:15 the world of Bitcoin whether or not
04:17 there is a price correction in the
04:20 second half of 2025 or sometime in 2026
04:23 nobody knows but if there is one you'll
04:25 know what it feels like you'll know why
04:28 it's happening you'll know why humans
04:30 behave the way they do and all of that
04:32 is covered in VJ Boy aa's book the
04:34 bullish case for Bitcoin um it's
04:38 probably I mean usually for beginners I
04:40 recommend a book like uh inventing bit
04:42 Bitcoin by uh uh Yan pritzer I think I
04:46 forget it's pritsker I'm not I can't
04:48 remember his first name um I think it's
04:49 John prit pritsker uh inventing Bitcoin
04:52 that's great for beginners but if you o
04:54 own Bitcoin you're you're a ways down
04:57 the journey you're starting to have
04:59 significant amounts of assets at stake
05:01 in Bitcoin then it's worth understanding
05:04 why it behaves the way it does so that
05:05 you don't freak out if there's a price
05:07 correction so that you can take
05:08 advantage of it if there is a price
05:10 correction so that you know why price
05:12 Corrections will always pass and the
05:14 price will always eventually go higher
05:16 those are all things that are covered in
05:17 the bullish case for Bitcoin that if you
05:20 have not read it then like I say you're
05:22 sort of at Sea you hit a storm you think
05:25 maybe storms are always you know this
05:27 far out at Sea they always are here and
05:29 it's just a lot harder to stay rational
05:32 if you don't understand why the weather
05:34 does what it does and if you do it
05:37 doesn't let you predict the weather
05:38 perfectly but it lets you it lets you
05:40 prepare for it plan accordingly and
05:43 weather it you know uh you know weather
05:45 the storm um so the same is true for the
05:48 bullish case for Bitcoin I think 2025 is
05:50 going to be an epic year for Bitcoin to
05:53 the upside but the second half of the
05:55 year or in 2026 there could be a price
05:58 correction and it's worth understanding
05:59 why that is why it might be the case why
06:02 it might not be the case and all of that
06:04 and you can learn all of that from VJ
06:06 Boy aot's book the bullish case for
06:08 Bitcoin so uh go get the book it uh it's
06:11 currently out of production on Amazon
06:14 because the author is rewriting it uh
06:16 but you can still get it on audiobook
06:18 and you can get it on Kindle so um you
06:20 can read it on the Kindle app on your
06:22 iPhone or your Android phone so you can
06:24 read it on the Kindle app you can even
06:26 use the voice uh reader on your phone to
06:28 read it to you by swiping two fingers
06:31 from the top of your phone down if you
06:33 have uh the uh voice function turned on
06:35 on your iPhone uh but regardless you can
06:37 read it on the Kindle app or you can
06:39 even better listen to it on audible.com
06:41 so highly recommended uh check it out
06:44 you'll feel a lot better about Bitcoin
06:46 in general when you understand why it
06:48 behaves the way it does and the best way
06:50 to understand that is VJ boot's book the
06:52 bullish case for Bitcoin uh you can get
06:54 it on Kindle or you can get it on uh
06:58 audible.com or later in
07:00 2025 uh VJ boyapati is uh writing an
07:03 expanding an updated version of it that
07:06 you'll be able to get although I would
07:07 not wait I don't think it's worth
07:08 waiting for the expanded and updated
07:11 Edition because I don't know when that's
07:12 going to come out and there's a good
07:14 chance it will come out in the second
07:15 half of 2025 rather than the first half
07:18 and there is a a lot higher likelihood
07:21 that we will be close to the end of this
07:24 price cycle and the start of the next
07:25 one and it's better that you understand
07:27 all of this sooner rather than later so
07:29 go Go download the book on Kindle or on
07:32 audible.com great book highly
07:33 recommended you'll feel like you have a
07:35 much better understanding of why
07:38 technology behaves the way it does why
07:40 Bitcoin behaves the way it does and why
07:42 Bitcoin goes through price Cycles uh the
07:44 way it does so highly recommended it's
07:46 the number one book about Bitcoin that
07:49 you should read in 2025
