You said Satoshi's gonna slap you next time he visits you in your dream or something. Yeah, because he's talking about other **** coins. Did you say that? I said he's talking about **** coins. But he talks to him in his dreams. I...

Go on, let's go guys. We've been away two weeks and he thinks he's doing the clapping. I didn't do it once while you was away. Oh, did you? And I think... did Henry do it once? I think I did it once. Anyway, it's not important. I was Sisy, so I had the power of the clap. Right. One way to term it, isn't it - "the power of the clap". Well, I said "the power of the clap", not the clap. I'll do that. Okay, maybe just edit that bit out. Or don't. Leave it in - bit of clickbait. Mhm.

Hi everybody, welcome back. This is Britcoiners - episode 170. The gang's all back together! Yay, we're back! We're back with some fans appreciating the two beard - what do they call it? Two... two hairy bloss? Two hairy... two hairy blossom? Talking about me and you? Yep.

As always, remember to like and subscribe, thank you very much. Onto the agenda this week: we've got the UK saying no to a Bitcoin reserve, Arizona Bitcoin bill update, Missouri Bitcoin bill update, and then some news on JD Vance, Conor McGregor, Scotty Pippen - all the celebs, all the celebs - Coinbase... what a roster of celebrities there. Coinbase advert, Taproot assets, our consumer report... and you guys can update us on how Tuscany was. Oh, you want to start off with that? Tusky!

What about the price? Oh, and the price! $104,000. What was it - what was it last week? Last episode was... Oh, last episode was $94.2, or upper? Oh, 10 grand!

Is this the highest price we've had for a pod before? It might be, you know. Say... I know we've missed it, haven't we, on many pods. We're back! There we go - $104,000. Highest all-time high for the pod. Trade deal related? Yeah, is that what we're all saying? Trade war over? No - America helps America. Inflows.

Yeah, but it was a bit of a weird one because the... I think I was - was I tweeting about that on Sunday night or whenever it was? Because it was like: markets are short, trade deal with China theoretically is done - it's in progress, not done, in progress - and then Bitcoin's price was skyrocketing, and then everyone said, "Oh yeah, when the markets open, it's going to go crazy." Markets open, Bitcoin price went down. Markets went up, Bitcoin price went down. And it was like - it didn't make any sense. And it didn't. And it didn't correlate. And yeah, I don't know. It meant, for me, it was a bit... I don't know what you word it, like a bit anticlimactic. You be like, "It never reacts the way you would expect it." Like we always say, when Saylor's buying, the price doesn't really move.

I would forget predicting what will happen to the price. I think in the short term what we saw recently - I think - was Saylor buying with the ETF. Big inflows was when the price started to come back from the 80s up towards 100. I think that's what we've seen. But it needs the combination of ETFs and Saylor buys to really start seeing it.

Anyway, great to be back above the hundreds. Yeah, that's a good place to be. Yeah, it does. Sure - sun shines a little brighter when it's... Yeah, it sure does. Sun does just shine in general.

Anyway, Tuscany-any. Go on. So we're at the Bitcoin Lightning Summit in Vivio. And, um... Imagine being... Sorry, go on - you? Me? Someone messaged me that - Viva Radio - the other day. I thought it was a company. I start googling "What is..."

That's what - we were at the conference, you know - beautiful little seaside town in Tuscany-any, surrounded by beautiful like-minded people all working towards Bitcoin and Lightning projects. Learned so much, talked to so many good people. It was really good. A really good conference. Made a... probably loads of friends. Loads of friends. I like how you laugh straight away as soon as you say that. You know, that's what people always say though, isn't it? Made... made friends for life there. No, but there were some really good guys - Jesse from Ambos, he's a top bloke. Ethan from Pouch. All sorts of cool guys. Some of the Ocean guys - just brilliant...
