TD₿: Crossing the Bitcoin Adoption Chasm - (a Swan guest appearance on the What Bitcoin Did podcast) with Rapha Zagury
TL;DR: Raphael Zagury is a CIO at Swan Bitcoin. In this interview, we discuss Bitcoin adoption, how spot Bitcoin ETFs changed everything, Bitcoin vs real estate and Bitcoin portfolio allocation.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Rapha Zagury, CIO at Swan, chats with Peter McCormack on the What Bitcoin Did podcast about their personal Bitcoin stories, how to properly price Bitcoin, the personal touch points needed to fully understand the asset, and what it will take to cross the chasm of adoption into a world where Bitcoin is the base layer of money.
Bitcoin is the best monetary fuel cell the world has ever known, but there is rarely a time when you buy Bitcoin and think it’s cheap. The first rule of Bitcoin is admitting you don’t understand Bitcoin.
The ramifications of this are still unclear, but you can feel we are on the cusp of something profound in how we understand money and way we ‘people with each other’ and express value to each other.

Enjoy!

Quote of the Day
“This is by far the best asymmetric bet that you can make because even in very low probability scenarios…the upside potential, we’re not talking about 10x, it could be 100x in a very quick period of time if it really captures the monetary premium of these assets.”

World 2024 - Bitcoin For Corporations
Resorts World, Las Vegas
May 1 - May 2, 2024
Bitcoin for Corporations is a unique opportunity for corporate leaders, financial executives, and technology innovators to discuss the future of Bitcoin in the corporate world. The event features expert advice on how corporations can plug into Bitcoin and reimagine their business directly from the market's most credible voices and experienced practitioners.
This event is hosted by MicroStrategy, a pioneer in Bitcoin adoption.
