🎙️Beyond Ego: The Truth About Money, Meaning & Bitcoin Ep. 100 with Richard Byworth ∞/21M My guest today is Richard Byworth, Managing Partner at Syz Capital, bridging traditional finance with Bitcoin. With over 25 years in global investment banking and asset management, Richard now spearheads Syz’s $300m digital asset strategies and hosts the *Syz the Future* podcast. He’s also a Board Member at Relai, and an advisor to JAN3. In this conversation, he unpacks the moment the 2008 crisis revealed the flaws in fiat money, his early dismissal of Bitcoin, and how conviction finally took hold in 2018. We discuss the launch of Syz’s Bitcoin-denominated fund, the internal resistance it faced, and how it became the firm’s most successful product launch. Richard explains why “one Bitcoin equals one Bitcoin” and why he believes Bitcoin treasury companies act as the release valve for a mispriced financial system. We explore his views on ego in finance, intuition in decision-making, spiritual dimensions of Bitcoin, and his conviction that Bitcoin represents not just an investment—but hope, and a benevolent force for human progress. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

On the Dutch television a stock market analyst explains #Bitcoin as an illiquid asset, hence why big players can’t sell & the drop to $90K took place. He also told that one of the biggest holders of Bitcoin is Elon Musk, as he owns ‘blocks’ of Bitcoin and its in their best interest to see Bitcoin succeed. Anno 2024, 15 years after the birth of Bitcoin, there’s still a platform for unknowledged analysts to spread lies about Bitcoin. Imagine what you’re being told about fiat currencies and the financial system.

Buying cuban cigars for bitcoin in 2023 Today, ₿180,000 is about $190. To anyone thinking, ‘OMG, how could you miss out on those Bitcoin gains? You should have HODL'd! Gresham's Law dude!’ I could’ve spent Cuban pesos instead of bitcoin, sure. But I want to support freedom money in one of the last bastions of communism. I do not regret it. To the point about Gresham's law, it simply doesn't apply to Bitcoin. Gresham’s Law applies when a government legally mandates a fixed exchange rate between two monies—something that never happens with bitcoin’s market-driven, floating timechain value—so there’s no enforced overvaluation to drive out the “good” money. IMO, the real opportunity cost is NOT the bitcoin I spent on this cigar—it’s the fiat you hold right now that is not Bitcoin. Every single time you spend fiat, you could have spent bitcoin or HODld bitcoin. Think about that for a second. (Not financial advice obvs)

In a recent podcast, Saylor explicitly states that he isn’t interested in monetising Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings — making the point that Bitcoin is already a productive asset, which I agree with. Instead he intends to scale the capacity to raise capital to buy Bitcoin and generate Bitcoin Yield — in perpetuity. If so, it changes the long-term thesis slightly.

James Lavish says Bitcoin is going through a “information arbitrage” and “I think that Bitcoin is gonna trade above $1,000,000 in early 2030s.” “People just do not yet understand how Bitcoin is different and why it is the ultimate store of value and ultimate debasement asset.”

“There was never any talk of the risk.” Peter Schiff is just lying at this point. The risk of $STRC was always obvious: it is preferred equity issued by a Bitcoin Treasury Company. Saylor said it clearly: if Bitcoin goes down long term or forever, that is the risk. And what are we seeing now? Bitcoin under pressure. Liquidity rotated into AI and IPOs. Maximum fear. STRC down. That is not some hidden scandal. That is risk premium repricing. Strategy does not magically control STRC’s market price. They can adjust the dividend rate, but the market prices the risk of Bitcoin and Strategy’s ability to keep paying dividends. And when Bitcoin starts going up again, what do you think happens? The same risk premium reprices in the other direction. If you buy preferred equity in a Bitcoin company, you are making one core assumption: Bitcoin goes up over the long term. That was never hidden.

Jack Mallers’ appearance on Bloomberg is NO EXAGGERATION one of the sharpest 9-minute Bitcoin segments you’ll find this year. Here’s what stuck with me: – Performance in dollars is a distraction. “The only metric that matters: Bitcoin per share.” – Scarcity isn’t a narrative device. If you want more Bitcoin, you PAY UP. – Altcoins? Tech stocks at best. Bitcoin is gunning for the world’s $400T store of value market. – “I’ll never own another asset outside of Bitcoin.” Not diversification but CONVICTION. – The real use case: You create value, you want to keep it. Bitcoin is the answer. Mallers doesn’t hype. He just points at the inevitable.
