Luke Broyles joins me to explain why he believes Bitcoin could eventually reach $20 million per coin. We discuss the accelerating pace of technology, the growth of U.S. debt, AI, monetary debasement, and why Luke thinks Bitcoin sits at the intersection of these long-term trends. We also explore why calling Bitcoin "digital gold" may dramatically undersell its potential and why most Bitcoin price targets could be far too low. This is a long-term conversation about where Bitcoin, technology, and the global financial system may be heading.
