Pius—an Ivy League–trained mathematician turned Wall Street trader—was on the inside of “The Big Short” trade and later ran Deutsche Bank’s bad bank. Today he is a bold Bitcoin advocate, arguing that Bitcoin is not just another asset but the first true separation of money and state, as profound as separating church and state 500 years ago. We discuss why 2008 never got solved, how fiat money fuels inequality and war, and why Bitcoin’s foundation in math and physics makes its rise to $1M inevitable—without causing systemic chaos. Pius shares insights from his decades in high finance, Bitcoin’s growing adoption in U.S. pensions and institutions, its role in personal financial sovereignty, and how power law trajectories shape Bitcoin price predictions. If you want to understand Bitcoin investment, Wall Street finance, risk management, and the global financial reset already underway, this high-signal conversation delivers essential knowledge and perspective.
