Guy Swann “the guy who’s read more on bitcoin than any other guy you know”, returns to TSPC and The Bitcoin Breakout to discuss the current bull market, how high we go this cycle and what’s in store for BTC in 2025!  I have known guy as a friend and contemporary for about 5 years and known of him for longer than that.

Guy is the host of Bitcoin Audible a podcast that primary consists of him reading various articles about Bitcoin and then providing commentary on them.  He has also been the voice on almost 2 dozen of the most popular and best selling books in the Bitcoin Space, some include Broken Money by Lyn Alden, The Blocksize War by Jonathan Bier, Inventing Bitcoin by Yan Pritzker, Everything Devided by 21 Million by Knut Svanholm and a ton more.

Hence Guy markets himself as “the guy who has read more about Bitcoin than anyone you know” and that isn’t just marketing, it is a fact.  But Guy isn’t just a theory person, he’s a true Bitcoin OG, a stacker, a tech hacker, an AI junky and an active member of the Bitcoin economy.  Today he comes back to TSPC to discuss what we should expect from BTC in 2025.

• Bitcoin’s Intrinsic Value and Utility: Money is valuable in itself as it solves the fundamental economic problem of coordinating production and communicating value. Bitcoin provides a novel solution to this problem by offering a decentralized, neutral, and tamper-proof money system. Its ability to hold value without counterparty risk is its key innovation and what makes it valuable as a monetary asset.
  `
• The Challenge of Scaling Bitcoin for Payments: While Bitcoin was not originally designed as a retail payment system, it has the potential to enable new forms of payments and value exchange through secondary solutions like the Lightning Network. However, Bitcoin’s structure as a decentralized auction market makes it ill-suited for traditional consumer payment use cases, which require instant and predictable confirmations.
  `
• Overcoming Misconceptions and FUD: Bitcoin faces persistent misinformation and doubts, with critics repeatedly making inaccurate claims about its origins, technology, and future prospects. However, Bitcoin has proven remarkably resilient, surviving multiple market cycles and continuing to attract new users and adoption despite the FUD. Those who understand Bitcoin’s core principles and mechanisms are better equipped to navigate these challenges.
  `
• Quantum Computing and Bitcoin Security: While quantum computing advancements could theoretically pose a threat to Bitcoin’s cryptographic security, the timeline and impact of such a development are highly uncertain. The infrastructure and incentives required to specifically target and break Bitcoin’s cryptography make a large-scale quantum attack improbable in the near term. Bitcoin’s ability to upgrade its security measures provides a path to mitigate this potential risk.
  `
• Regulatory and Tax Challenges: One of the primary barriers to Bitcoin’s adoption as a payments medium is the tax and regulatory treatment of cryptocurrency transactions. The complexity of accounting for Bitcoin’s price fluctuations and the need to convert between Bitcoin and fiat currencies for many business operations create significant frictions that hinder its use for everyday payments.
