Inside Proof of Conviction
Raoul Pal joins dVIN Labs to talk belief, Bitcoin, and the $250K Cuvée
On yesterday's Wine Wednesday, we were joined by Raoul Pal, Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision, to talk about the intersection of macro conviction, digital assets, and Champagne.
With Dave and me on the mic, we went deep into how belief, technology, and community converge in the world’s first Smartwine™ — the $250K Bitcoin Cuvée.

💬 Highlights from the Conversation
🪙 Proof of Conviction
“The collective memory of Bitcoin hitting $250K and everyone opening the same bottle at the same moment — that’s what ties people together.” - Raoul Pal
Raoul captured what makes this drop more than Champagne.
It’s a symbol of belief — a physical expression of conviction in the next digital epoch.
🍾 The Birth of Smartwine™
Dave shared how this collaboration with RedBite Solutions, Animoca Brands, and Real Vision began as a conversation — and turned into a product that bridges AI, blockchain, and fine wine.
Each bottle has:
A body — a physical grower Champagne, connected through DePIN technology
A soul — a Digital Cork™ NFT proving authenticity and provenance
A mind — Bacchus AI, the intelligence layer that learns, tracks, and advises
“It’s not a gimmick — it’s the future of fine wine. The wine talks to you, tells its story, and connects you with others who own it.” — Raoul Pal
🎉 Community and the Proof of Pop
When Bitcoin hits $250,000, holders will open their bottles together — and join a token-gated celebration on-chain.
“Everyone who pops that bottle becomes part of a community — a shared experience of conviction,” Dave said.

As Raoul said best:
“Tomorrow is going to be more digital than today. This is how luxury learns to live on-chain.”
The $250K Bitcoin Cuvée isn’t just Champagne.
It’s the start of a new market — where celebration meets conviction and technology gives wine a voice.
