Part 13/17:
The speakers highlight Bitcoin's rapidly growing market capitalization, now surpassing entire national banking sectors like Canada's and approaching that of the US. They interpret this as a clear signal that Bitcoin is on track to become a dominant reserve asset due to its measurable scarcity, transparency, and resilience.
Furthermore, recent institutional interest — evidenced by major investment firms, insurers, and energy companies looking to price energy resources and hedging their risks in Bitcoin — indicates a paradigm shift. The potential for Bitcoin to serve as a global reserve asset, replacing or supplementing traditional fiat reserves, is becoming more palpable.
