In this episode, Nik is joined once again by Daniel Batten to discuss overcoming ESG roadblocks to bitcoin investment at sovereign wealth funds. Daniel breaks down the math behind his projection that a 1% allocation from this pool of $35 trillion in capital could drive bitcoin's price higher by nearly $100,000 from here. He also explains how he is fighting the existing negative propaganda about bitcoin with new studies about the environmental benefits of bitcoin mining.
