Bitcoin ($BIXI) podcast mentions
Timestamped Bitcoin ($BIXI) mentions across our podcast corpus.
And, and will be there by late, uh, this week that they said. So overall, that was a bit of a positive, but I don't think the Strait of Hormuz is, is going anywhere. I think it's still going to be shut for a while. The gold finished down 0.1, silver up 1.5, Bitcoin up 1.7, WTI was down 1.8 in choppy trading. So I continue to see that, I continue to expect that for some time, uh, and we're in a choppy period. I've said that in, in to the midterms, I think you get general upside, but a lot of choppiness. Now, from time to time, we receive questions via web form from investtalk.com. Here's one that came in earlier. Al from Santa Rosa says, I'm a longtime listener and longtime investor. Your podcast is what is the one show that I will never miss. I generally buy individual bonds for my portfolio and hold them for the duration. You have recommended short-duration bonds in this rising rate environment. Is there a rate that you would start buying longer-duration bonds?

John Coogan · TBPN · AI Video Game Mods, Should You Sell Your Data, Bryan Johnson on Endurance Racing | Sean Frank, Linda Du, Ali Partovi, Sigil Wen, Jerry Wu, Bryan Johnson · 2026-10-05So I have an open source project, uh, that shows treemaps for stock exchanges. Just to explain what a treemap is, imagine a giant mosaic where every tile is a company. The bigger the tile, the bigger the company. And green means the share price is up and red means it's down, you know? So in March 2025, when President Trump announced announced the US Bitcoin Reserve, people keep asking me to build the same thing for crypto, you know? But the thing is this whole room can't contain the fuck I don't give about crypto. So instead I built Treemap for Pokémon cards, just in case that Pokémon cards will become the next strategic reserve, you know?
Ruslan · The Vergecast · We hear pitches on the best vibe-coded apps · 2026-10-05That's one thing, but, uh, well, hindsight's 20/20. If you invested in crypto, in Bitcoin 15 years ago, you wouldn't be calling the show. You would own the building. So it's just, I wish I could go back and get Uber on day one, but you know, I just dollar cost average into the stock market, same amount every month out of every paycheck. And it's boring and it's slow, but I sleep better. And the other piece is just turn off the headlines. What good are they doing you at this point?
George Kamel · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05And then how much does he have in Bitcoin?
George Kamel · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05Wow. So we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars. What did he pay for all that Bitcoin?
George Kamel · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05Okay. So I, I, I think that's the place to start because the Bitcoin is the, is the proxy war here. It's the third rail. And it, it's, it, it, what he is—
John Delony · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05it's not really about the Bitcoin. Yeah. It's not really about the tax strategy.
George Kamel · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05He has a thing that's not yours that you, he's not including you on that was y'all's and now it's become his. And the thing beneath the thing is, I want to, I want to not have a mortgage. I want to feel safety and security in my home. So if you need to keep this precious thing, and by the way, I own zero Bitcoin, not one shred. And do I wish I could go back in time and buy a whole bunch at nothing? Of course I do. And I also didn't get into Beanie Babies and NFTs and all these other things. You throw enough darts backwards, one's gonna hit great, and it could go up 5 trillion percent and it could go to zero. Because it's always going to have to be traded for actual money at some point. Right? But that's neither here nor there. I have crypto friends, I've got Bitcoin friends, and dude, there is, there's just the, that conversation is just a ship that sailed. The real conversation in your home is I want the peace and security of having a paid off home.
John Delony · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05If you don't want to use this, A, we need to talk about our shared vision for what retirement looks like and our shared vision for the future. But I want us to come up with a, a plan right now for how we're gonna pay off the mortgage in 1 year, 2 year, 5 years, 10 years, et cetera. Because that's gonna force you both to the table and say, okay, we're gonna have to take separate job. We're gonna have to take extra jobs. We're gonna have to not go on vacations, whatever. What, how much sacrifice is he willing to make to hold onto this precious Bitcoin thing? Right.
John Delony · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05So at the current rate, if you didn't sell any Bitcoin, how quickly are you guys gonna pay off the house?
George Kamel · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05And companies actually produce something like revenue and products and services and stuff. That's the scary part. I'm not anti-crypto, I'm not anti-Bitcoin, but it leads to situations like this, which then makes me anti-Bitcoin because people get so, so much tunnel vision. They put all of their eggs in that basket going, you're an idiot if you don't believe in this, like it's Santa Claus or something. And so you guys need to have a whole different conversation. This is not about paying off the house. This is about legitimate safety and security and diversification.
George Kamel · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05I mean, Bitcoin went down like 50% in the last 12 months. Like it took a huge nosedive and it's recovered a little bit, but that's frightening to have half your net worth disappear because a bunch of dudes decided I'm a little spooked. I know.
George Kamel · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05You'll have one. Yeah, this is some golden handcuffs if I've ever seen them. Yeah, it's just you're so close to security and safety that it just boggles my mind. But again, I think there is a level of selfishness and greed that comes along with anything this speculative, anything that's done this well in a short period of time that I don't know that a conversation is going to convince him. You might need a third party. You might need to go to some counseling to get to the bottom of it. But this conversation is not about Bitcoin.
George Kamel · The Ramsey Show · Make A Plan Your Future Can Trust · 2026-10-05Yeah, this was actually the largest, uh, forfeiture in Justice Department history, what, what you're mentioning, uh, securing hundreds of thousands— well, over $100 $100,000 Bitcoin, for example. And what, what I think this is a great example of is focusing on, focusing on the source of the problem and not trying to stop it after a scam has been going on for months. Right. Going to the source, which is primarily these bad overseas actors and some of these compounds, they're primarily in Southeast Asia. And it really is astonishing how, how sophisticated they have become and how— what a large scale some of these operations are. Are in, in places like Laos or Cambodia or India. And, and what ends up happening is very frequently the people who are operating them, uh, are actually there themselves against their will. In other words, there's a lot of human trafficking that goes on, and, and these people are, uh, are, are put up to, uh, trying to perpetuate these scams on the American people.
