Latest / Financial Survival Network / Silver Is Repricing the System - David Stryzewski #6366
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Unless you're doing eight billion dollars a year in distribution
- 0:03Speaker 1: from their nation. They're not giving you a license to
- 0:07Speaker 1: be able to export silver. Silver has become that important,
- 0:11Speaker 1: especially as you know in the twenty first century here,
- 0:15Speaker 1: it takes a tremendous amount of silver to create specifically
- 0:18Speaker 1: solar panels. That's the number one use of silver. And
- 0:21Speaker 1: China's trying to electrify their nation. I think everyone's trying
- 0:24Speaker 1: to electrify. We've got again these data centers AI, they
- 0:27Speaker 1: are not slowing down.

- 1:00Speaker 3: Survival Network. I'm your host, Carrie Lutz. David Strzuski is
- 1:04Speaker 3: with us and now one of my favorite guests. And David,
- 1:10Speaker 3: it's great to have you back on. First thing, we've
- 1:13Speaker 3: got to be with a Gary. First thing, we got
- 1:15Speaker 3: to talk about gold and silver. I know you're a
- 1:18Speaker 3: big metal guy like I am, and you got substantial
- 1:22Speaker 3: holdings in someplace in the world. One hundred and fifteen
- 1:27Speaker 3: dollars silver be just the beginning, isn't it.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I mean, Carrie, what we're seeing right now is structural.
- 1:36Speaker 1: This is not a like simple little thing that's going
- 1:39Speaker 1: to get pumped up and it's going to be falling down.
- 1:42Speaker 1: What we're looking at right now is a massive change
- 1:45Speaker 1: and actually a revaluation of physical metals. You know, very specifically,
- 1:49Speaker 1: silver has a very important commercial use in the twenty
- 1:54Speaker 1: first century. So if we're going to be creating AI,
- 1:56Speaker 1: we're going to be having solar panels, we're going to
- 1:58Speaker 1: be connecting chips and side out of our cell phones,
- 2:01Speaker 1: we've got to have silver in order to be able
- 2:04Speaker 1: to connect those chips and so. Unlike gold, which ends
- 2:07Speaker 1: up in a vault, silver is consumed sixty percent of
- 2:11Speaker 1: it is consumed and like maybe forty percent vaulted. In fact,
- 2:15Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting, you know, we've got this gold
- 2:18Speaker 1: standard that we've historically looked at maybe that was ten
- 2:21Speaker 1: to one, twelve to one, fifteen to one, based upon
- 2:24Speaker 1: how much we could find of silver to gold at
- 2:27Speaker 1: various times historically. Well in twenty twenty five, I just
- 2:31Speaker 1: ran the numbers. Seven and a half to one is
- 2:34Speaker 1: actually the real ratio with modern technology that we have
- 2:38Speaker 1: here today. And yet we look at that price one
- 2:40Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen to fifty three hundred and gold we're
- 2:43Speaker 1: looking at about forty six to one still and so
- 2:46Speaker 1: this is not even close to actual the real pricing
- 2:50Speaker 1: of what's going on. If that's seven and a half
- 2:52Speaker 1: to one, silver is used in solar and lockeed missiles
- 2:57Speaker 1: and everything else, is it actually even more rare than
- 3:01Speaker 1: seven and a half to one, I would argue absolutely.
- 3:03Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, no question, Yeah, for sure.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Percent Over the last twelve months. I mean, that's been
- 3:09Speaker 1: really good for my family. But I believe this is
- 3:13Speaker 1: just beginning, and you know, and the world is just
- 3:16Speaker 1: waking up to it. In fact, sixty forty doesn't even
- 3:19Speaker 1: have an allocation to it, and I think that that's
- 3:22Speaker 1: about to change in a very very very significant way.
- 3:25Speaker 4: You know. It's amazing, David. I love silver too.
- 3:28Speaker 3: I've been I've been stacking for better part of twenty years,
- 3:34Speaker 3: and you know, for an individual, I got a nice
- 3:36Speaker 3: little horde of it, and it's stashed around the world.
- 3:43Speaker 4: But a silver dollar was one dollar is now like
- 3:49Speaker 4: close to ninety dollars, you know that.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Yeah, here's a here's a is that a round US
- 3:58Speaker 1: one dollar ounce? And it's and so a one ounce
- 4:02Speaker 1: coin US silver eagle is worth one dollar as a currency,
- 4:08Speaker 1: but it's only worth or but it's worth one hundred
- 4:11Speaker 1: and fifteen outside of this plus a premium just because
- 4:14Speaker 1: we got a mint. It it's not just this paper
- 4:16Speaker 1: price thing. But I got Canadian here, I got Britannica's
- 4:19Speaker 1: here too, and so you know, I'm a big believer
- 4:23Speaker 1: in what we've got going on. But that shows you
- 4:25Speaker 1: the inflation. What was a dollar? A dollar was equivalent
- 4:29Speaker 1: to a one ounce of silver in the past, but
- 4:31Speaker 1: not today. One hundred and fifteen to one tells you
- 4:34Speaker 1: what we've actually done to our currency with printing.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this is so true.
- 4:39Speaker 3: And you know, basically a bag of a junk silver
- 4:44Speaker 3: a dollar's worth is worth the over eighty dollars now,
- 4:48Speaker 3: I mean, that's what our money has turned into. It's
- 4:52Speaker 3: it's quite amazing. I suggest anybody wants to find out
- 4:57Speaker 3: more about it, go to coinflation dot com. It will
- 5:00Speaker 3: give you the value of every coin minted in the
- 5:04Speaker 3: US and Canada other places over the past one hundred
- 5:09Speaker 3: plus years.
- 5:10Speaker 4: And it's an eye opener.
- 5:12Speaker 3: And actually I'm doing a silver report because you know,
- 5:16Speaker 3: the media, like you can always count on them to
- 5:19Speaker 3: miss the story. What's happening now with Canada and particularly
- 5:24Speaker 3: Western Canada is a whole strategic realignment. The US wants
- 5:31Speaker 3: what I call the Northwest Resource Corridor, and it goes
- 5:37Speaker 3: from the like Montana and the Dakota's, the Northern Great
- 5:42Speaker 3: Plains up to Alaska, and that is an area rich
- 5:48Speaker 3: in minerals, in gold, silver, oil, Alberta, all of it.
- 5:54Speaker 3: And so that's what's being set up here. You know,
- 5:58Speaker 3: the whole thing of Trump being an imperialist or whatever
- 6:02Speaker 3: he's what he's doing is securing the hemisphere, Frank, whatever
- 6:08Speaker 3: is going to come next, which you know something's coming,
- 6:11Speaker 3: but the media, like globalist media, can't can't get their
- 6:16Speaker 3: heads out of their butts long enough to actually see
- 6:19Speaker 3: what's happening here.
- 6:21Speaker 1: No, and just to be honest, you know, North America
- 6:24Speaker 1: also includes Mexico, and Mexico has a tremendous silver deposits
- 6:28Speaker 1: in it, and so again this is a very important idea,
- 6:32Speaker 1: including Venezuela by the way, I mean, not only do
- 6:34Speaker 1: they have old oil, but they have gold and silver. Yeah,
- 6:36Speaker 1: and they were very strategic flow for the black and
- 6:39Speaker 1: gray market that was going into China of the metals,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and so by you know, that action in Venezuela, we
- 6:47Speaker 1: actually slowed that down significantly because they weren't marking to
- 6:50Speaker 1: the market, they weren't declaring that these assets were being produced,
- 6:54Speaker 1: and so there was a lot of imports that were
- 6:56Speaker 1: going in or exports rather from Venezuela to different places.
- 6:59Speaker 1: And so you know, even even China and what they're
- 7:01Speaker 1: doing right as of January first, unless you're doing eight
- 7:05Speaker 1: billion dollars a year in distribution from their nation, they're
- 7:10Speaker 1: not giving you a license to be able to export silver.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Silver has become that important, especially as you know in
- 7:17Speaker 1: the twenty first century here, it takes a tremendous amount
- 7:20Speaker 1: of silver to create specifically solar panels. That's the number
- 7:23Speaker 1: one use of silver. And China's trying to electrify their nation.
- 7:27Speaker 1: I think everyone's trying to electrify. We've got again these
- 7:30Speaker 1: data centers AI. They are not slowing down. You and
- 7:33Speaker 1: I were talking, you know, a little bit before we
- 7:36Speaker 1: just started recording here and we were talking about, well, hey,
- 7:39Speaker 1: you know, if there's a multi billion dollar data center
- 7:42Speaker 1: that's going in and silver goes up in price by
- 7:44Speaker 1: fifty percent, you know, what's the real impact to this thing?
- 7:47Speaker 1: You know, fifty million, one hundred million. I mean that's
- 7:50Speaker 1: a significant number. But does that mean that they're going
- 7:52Speaker 1: to stop the project? Not a chance. This is this
- 7:55Speaker 1: is just a cost of doing business. And the reality
- 7:59Speaker 1: is is that you know, the paper market, which is crazy.
- 8:02Speaker 1: We could talk about that. You know, people that buy
- 8:04Speaker 1: just like SLV and they're holding you know, what they
- 8:08Speaker 1: believe is just the price ratio on silver. Welly, and
- 8:10Speaker 1: I don't want to hold it physically. I want to
- 8:12Speaker 1: just you know, hold it on as a stock. Okay, Well,
- 8:14Speaker 1: that's an idea. You should be aware though, that there
- 8:18Speaker 1: are at least two hundred and fifty claims on that
- 8:21Speaker 1: one ounce of silver that's held there physically, to as
- 8:25Speaker 1: many as four hundred and eight claims against that one
- 8:28Speaker 1: ounce of silver, depending on what we're talking about and
- 8:30Speaker 1: the numbers that are actually true. And so the point
- 8:33Speaker 1: is is that not everyone's going to be able to
- 8:34Speaker 1: get that metal and there's a significant lack in it.
- 8:38Speaker 1: So they're able to pump the market based upon these
- 8:41Speaker 1: future contracts. And now what's what's incredible is if you
- 8:45Speaker 1: look at the futures contracts, we've got anywhere from forty
- 8:48Speaker 1: to sixty million ounces of silver coming out of the
- 8:51Speaker 1: commeas facilities every single month. And so people aren't trying
- 8:55Speaker 1: to buy this on margin. These these these these nations
- 8:58Speaker 1: aren't buying on margin. The video is not buying on margin.
- 9:00Speaker 1: They're buying They're buying for the actual delivery. And so
- 9:05Speaker 1: this is a trend that is not good for the
- 9:08Speaker 1: financial markets in certain regards because we're about to see
- 9:12Speaker 1: these prices go parabolic and one fifteen is just a start.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I mean, Jim Rickards is right. Gold is going to
- 9:17Speaker 1: go to twenty four thousand, and by the way, what
- 9:20Speaker 1: silver's price at that point, And really that comes down
- 9:22Speaker 1: to the gold of silver ratio is a ten to
- 9:24Speaker 1: one that they that they valued at I'd be twenty
- 9:26Speaker 1: four hundred dollars for silver. So I'm a massive believer
- 9:29Speaker 1: in this move. It's just math and it's just a
- 9:32Speaker 1: matter of time.
- 9:33Speaker 3: I couldn't agree with you more and not just because
- 9:36Speaker 3: I'm happy because it's going up. I'm happy that it's
- 9:39Speaker 3: going up, but not necessarily for the reasons. But what's
- 9:43Speaker 3: going to happen to happen here is that the government
- 9:47Speaker 3: is going to say, we don't care what price we
- 9:52Speaker 3: have to have it, and then you'll never you won't
- 9:56Speaker 3: be looking at or grades. Like one company that I
- 10:01Speaker 3: work with, they hit a massive vein up in Canada
- 10:07Speaker 3: and they got like five hundred grams per ton of
- 10:12Speaker 3: silver and it went up to even like fifteen hundred
- 10:16Speaker 3: in certain spots. So that is economically feasible. But we're
- 10:21Speaker 3: going to get to the point here, David, where economic
- 10:25Speaker 3: feasibility isn't going to matter. How much can they produce
- 10:30Speaker 3: as a result of it. I'm skeptical, but certainly they
- 10:34Speaker 3: can increase it in the margin.
- 10:36Speaker 4: You know, they might only be able to.
- 10:38Speaker 3: Increase it ten fifteen percent more. You know, everything is
- 10:43Speaker 3: changing here, the financial system's changing, and you know at
- 10:47Speaker 3: some point they'll be running campaigns that it's your your duty,
- 10:51Speaker 3: your patriotic duty to sell your metal to the government,
- 10:56Speaker 3: no thank you price, who knows, And that goal to
- 11:00Speaker 3: silver ratio is quickly going to become an irrelevance. See, yeah,
- 11:05Speaker 3: look how much silver has gone up. I made the
- 11:09Speaker 3: call if you were a subscriber to my sub stack.
- 11:12Speaker 3: I made the coal in early May when silver broke
- 11:16Speaker 3: thirty two fifty.
- 11:17Speaker 4: This was it.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Load the wagon, you know, bring the you know, by
- 11:22Speaker 3: as much as you possibly can, and don't look back.
- 11:26Speaker 4: And it's more than tripled since then. Yeah.
- 11:30Speaker 1: I was out in New York last January and basically
- 11:34Speaker 1: started the year out doing a bunch of shows all
- 11:36Speaker 1: over the place, and I think silver was about twenty
- 11:39Speaker 1: nine to fifty per ounce, and I was asked, Hey,
- 11:42Speaker 1: what's your annual prediction. What do you think it's going
- 11:44Speaker 1: to end at. I said, it'll be above seventy by
- 11:45Speaker 1: the end of the year. People like, what above seventy?
- 11:48Speaker 1: I'm like, absolutely, And so for all the reasons that
- 11:51Speaker 1: we just mentioned, but also just a dovetail off of
- 11:54Speaker 1: what you just shared. You know, you can't just go
- 11:56Speaker 1: and print more silver specifically, or gold or rare earth minerals.
- 12:01Speaker 1: We've got to find these things, we've got to mind
- 12:02Speaker 1: these things. And even in a drill baby drill economy
- 12:05Speaker 1: where you can cut some red tape, you know, it's
- 12:08Speaker 1: still probably six years on the low end, but probably
- 12:11Speaker 1: eight years to actually even get a new mine into production.
- 12:14Speaker 1: And so it takes tons and tons and tons of
- 12:17Speaker 1: rock to mine it in order to get these strategic minerals,
- 12:20Speaker 1: and ultimately, we don't have the ability to just you know,
- 12:25Speaker 1: pause the clock of needing you know what's going on
- 12:28Speaker 1: with you know, next quarters in Navidio chip deliveries. No,
- 12:31Speaker 1: we got to actually you know, have this stuff available
- 12:34Speaker 1: in order to be able to continue with the production
- 12:39Speaker 1: of our economy. And so we've not priced in the changes.
- 12:42Speaker 1: We've not priced in what it takes to actually mine
- 12:45Speaker 1: these companies. And so that's why, you know, people that
- 12:47Speaker 1: are just getting involved for the first time in physical metals,
- 12:50Speaker 1: I think that it's important that they would consider actually
- 12:52Speaker 1: investing in metal miners. You know, when you look at
- 12:56Speaker 1: the ratio of what they own under the ground. I
- 12:59Speaker 1: think in many of the cases of silver miners, I mean,
- 13:01Speaker 1: don't quote me specifically, but I think it's somewhere around
- 13:04Speaker 1: like one dollar per ounce in many of these silver
- 13:07Speaker 1: miners for the dollars that are underground, maybe it's twenty
- 13:11Speaker 1: dollars on a high end to produce an ounce of silver. Well,
- 13:14Speaker 1: here's the point. The input costs haven't gone up nearly
- 13:16Speaker 1: as much as the actual value of that which is underground.
- 13:19Speaker 1: So I call that a misvaluation. And so if you
- 13:22Speaker 1: want to understand what I'm doing personally, I personally have
- 13:26Speaker 1: nearly one hundred percent of my entire financial accounts and
- 13:30Speaker 1: in companies that I'm investing in actually in metal miners
- 13:33Speaker 1: right now because I believe so significantly in the undervalued
- 13:38Speaker 1: nature of that part of the industry. Why sixty forty
- 13:41Speaker 1: doesn't even have an allocation to it. Why because we're
- 13:44Speaker 1: not repricing these ounces that are in the ground nearly
- 13:49Speaker 1: to what the price of the above ground is. And
- 13:51Speaker 1: so if we continue to trend in the right direction here,
- 13:54Speaker 1: which is higher prices on silver and gold, I mean,
- 13:56Speaker 1: I'm calling that the right direction because that's his math,
- 13:58Speaker 1: and I'm saying that that's going to happen, then these
- 14:01Speaker 1: companies are going to be the most profitable companies in
- 14:03Speaker 1: the entire world. And so my opinion is they're going
- 14:05Speaker 1: to lead the next three years, five years, maybe even
- 14:07Speaker 1: ten years of the entire sectors of the market. We're
- 14:10Speaker 1: going to get back to manufacturing and having to secure
- 14:14Speaker 1: this stuff especially with China's constraint on these assets and
- 14:17Speaker 1: the fact that they have such a significant percentage of
- 14:20Speaker 1: the above ground assets and the refinery power.
- 14:23Speaker 3: And a couple other things. So when you start looking
- 14:27Speaker 3: at things strategically, Trump's desire to basically restore order in Mexico. Yeah,
- 14:35Speaker 3: it isn't just about drugs coming over. I think a
- 14:38Speaker 3: lot of the drugs have been interdicted not happening. Mexico
- 14:42Speaker 3: largest producer of silver in the world, that's right. And
- 14:47Speaker 3: I've talked to minors in Mexico and you can't ask
- 14:52Speaker 3: them out right how much are you paying the cartels
- 14:55Speaker 3: to let you produce? But the cartels are getting their
- 14:58Speaker 3: cut and write any of these so they'll always say, well,
- 15:01Speaker 3: it's safe in our a are you here, or you know,
- 15:04Speaker 3: we have the army here or whatever. It's like, I'm
- 15:07Speaker 3: not buying it Mexico. That's why it has to be
- 15:11Speaker 3: stabilized because of resources as as Canada.
- 15:15Speaker 1: You know, so just because you know, I mean, and
- 15:20Speaker 1: by the way, Mexico's should be a very close trade partner.
- 15:23Speaker 1: I mean, does this mean that at some point in
- 15:25Speaker 1: the future that there is like a fifty first state
- 15:27Speaker 1: of Canada and maybe Mexico gets adopted to I mean,
- 15:30Speaker 1: I could definitely theorize that this could happen and that
- 15:33Speaker 1: we have like a North American dollar because we're backing
- 15:37Speaker 1: it with the gold, we're backing it based on production.
- 15:39Speaker 1: GDP becomes united because we need to strategically align if
- 15:43Speaker 1: we more hemispherically become divided, if God forbid, a w
- 15:47Speaker 1: W three scenario shows up. But yeah, I've actually been
- 15:52Speaker 1: calling this that that Trump will go down to Mexico,
- 15:55Speaker 1: He'll start addressing the cartels, He'll start addressing this and
- 15:59Speaker 1: making this you know. And by the way, if we
- 16:02Speaker 1: deport somebody and we can actually give them a job
- 16:05Speaker 1: because we think that they're a good person, and we
- 16:07Speaker 1: can give them a job working in Mexico and mining
- 16:11Speaker 1: strategically at a specific place, and maybe there's some benefits
- 16:14Speaker 1: to doing that, I don't know. I think that we
- 16:16Speaker 1: really need to rethink some of those policies and ultimately
- 16:19Speaker 1: the strategy of how we are, you know, moving forward,
- 16:24Speaker 1: and some of the decisions that we're making here. But
- 16:26Speaker 1: there's no question that the world is paying attention now
- 16:29Speaker 1: to metals. For the first time. This was the thing
- 16:31Speaker 1: that everyone was ignoring and actually in the Western world
- 16:35Speaker 1: we've still been ignoring it. And I think that we're
- 16:37Speaker 1: about to wake up to it in a very significant way.
- 16:39Speaker 1: As I personally believe there's a lot of challenges today
- 16:42Speaker 1: in debt markets, which is the bond market, and I
- 16:45Speaker 1: very specifically mean the Japanese carry trade, as the Japanese
- 16:50Speaker 1: bond is like sitting at three sixty six here today.
- 16:54Speaker 1: That's very high, that's very expensive. That unwinds a lot
- 16:56Speaker 1: of stuff, that changes the economics for a lot of
- 16:58Speaker 1: deals that have been done around the world. And then
- 17:01Speaker 1: Europe's got a lot of financial trouble as well, and
- 17:04Speaker 1: as well as internal struggles, and they don't have you know,
- 17:07Speaker 1: the first or the second Amendment, and in the Constitution
- 17:11Speaker 1: to back up the people.
- 17:12Speaker 4: I have any amendments.
- 17:14Speaker 3: There are amendment free zone there, David, Yeah, that's right.
- 17:18Speaker 3: But just getting back to so the borders are a
- 17:22Speaker 3: real friction point first aide, and for Canada it's everything.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Plus the North American Resource Corridor makes it easier to
- 17:34Speaker 3: defend Alaska against Russia. Okay, sure, something nobody's looking at. Also,
- 17:42Speaker 3: and the Arctic is there's a power play going on
- 17:44Speaker 3: in the Arctic. It's partly due to Greenland. But you know,
- 17:50Speaker 3: forget about the media to tell you. So going to
- 17:52Speaker 3: the FED, now we're talking pre call, you'd think that
- 17:57Speaker 3: a rate cut is not on the table for this meeting.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like it. No, And I mean, let's just
- 18:03Speaker 1: be honest here. I mean, Jerome Powell, if he cuts
- 18:06Speaker 1: rates a bunch, it's going to be inflationary. If he
- 18:08Speaker 1: holds rates high, We've got a massive refinancing cycle that
- 18:12Speaker 1: needs to happen, both in you know, personal and residential mortgages,
- 18:17Speaker 1: but very specifically in the commercial side of things. So
- 18:20Speaker 1: if we just think back to twenty twenty, twenty twenty one,
- 18:23Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, we had record low interest rates and
- 18:26Speaker 1: so if you were a CFO, it would be a
- 18:28Speaker 1: crime for you to not have refinance a paper. You
- 18:32Speaker 1: got a ton of debt because it was at such
- 18:35Speaker 1: cheap rates. Well, here's the problem with the commercial cycle.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Many of those loans are set up on five year terms,
- 18:40Speaker 1: even though they pay like it's a thirty And so
- 18:43Speaker 1: guess what twenty twenty Well, in twenty twenty five, those
- 18:46Speaker 1: loans started coming doe. In twenty twenty one, well, that
- 18:48Speaker 1: starts in twenty twenty six, I believe it was. It's
- 18:51Speaker 1: between March twenty six and March of twenty seven, is
- 18:54Speaker 1: the largest refinancing cycle in the United States history. And
- 18:58Speaker 1: so what are the repercussions of this? When I know
- 19:01Speaker 1: a bunch of people that do mortgages or used to
- 19:03Speaker 1: do mortgages, but I know very few that do actual
- 19:06Speaker 1: commercial mortgages. Why it's hard to get any of these
- 19:09Speaker 1: deals done. It's a very specialized thing. It's actually business
- 19:12Speaker 1: valuation as opposed to just a property valuation, and you know,
- 19:15Speaker 1: looking at debt to equity and what you got for income.
- 19:19Speaker 1: And so I think that there could be a significant
- 19:22Speaker 1: crisis that comes as a result of this, while also
- 19:26Speaker 1: you know, taking a look at our own national debt
- 19:28Speaker 1: and treasuries, I mean, closing in on forty trillion in debt.
- 19:31Speaker 1: I mean, who wants a future ioe you on the
- 19:33Speaker 1: irs when we're not backed by goal at this point,
- 19:36Speaker 1: I think that you know that that is something that
- 19:38Speaker 1: we got to be paying attention to here, and it
- 19:40Speaker 1: could cost some hiccups. So harden up your balance sheet,
- 19:43Speaker 1: all right.
- 19:43Speaker 3: So we're talking also pre call about crypto ethereum, bitcoin
- 19:49Speaker 3: and you're very much plugged in.
- 19:53Speaker 4: Just tell us your take on where it's heating.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Okay. I mean, so what we're seeing right now is
- 19:59Speaker 1: we've got a pro blockchain president for the first time.
- 20:02Speaker 1: So I mean, just think about where we were last
- 20:03Speaker 1: year in January as this guy was taking office for
- 20:06Speaker 1: the first time. This is like, now we actually have
- 20:08Speaker 1: a direction on where things are going. So I'm a
- 20:11Speaker 1: very significant investor in blockchain technology and very specifically I
- 20:16Speaker 1: care about real people and how this technology can benefit
- 20:19Speaker 1: them in the real world. And so you know, the
- 20:21Speaker 1: question is ultimately like how do we take this really
- 20:24Speaker 1: cool technology, how do we take this this more efficient
- 20:27Speaker 1: way of either transferring money or information, and how do
- 20:31Speaker 1: we apply it? And so I personally have you know,
- 20:35Speaker 1: a very significant holding in a company that is working
- 20:38Speaker 1: with grocery stores at reducing the price of groceries across
- 20:41Speaker 1: the board. And this is going to very significantly impact
- 20:46Speaker 1: you know, the average family. Why because if we can
- 20:49Speaker 1: drop grocery prices by twenty two to twenty five percent
- 20:52Speaker 1: for you and that's seventy percent of GDP, well guess what,
- 20:54Speaker 1: we got more money to be able to buy and
- 20:56Speaker 1: to do things. But the average consumers in big problems
- 21:00Speaker 1: right now. And so we've actually applied AI to that technology. Uh,
- 21:04Speaker 1: you're going to be able to have smart lists for
- 21:06Speaker 1: for how you shop at the grocery store. Hey, I
- 21:09Speaker 1: want the expensive items, a cheap list, a hybrid of them. Uh,
- 21:12Speaker 1: and then ultimately we can even provide delivery for those
- 21:18Speaker 1: groceries at the time that you're coming home. Because the
- 21:20Speaker 1: AI has the ability to help you to manage your
- 21:22Speaker 1: life in a more efficient way. And so real world
- 21:25Speaker 1: application is where you're going to see the value of
- 21:29Speaker 1: these these cryptocurrencies. And and I like to think of
- 21:33Speaker 1: them more as instead of currency, I like to think
- 21:35Speaker 1: of them as the algorithms the technology that that that
- 21:38Speaker 1: allow meaningful things to ultimately be done with you know,
- 21:44Speaker 1: less efficient systems. And so I've got a bank that
- 21:47Speaker 1: will be live here in about three months, and and
- 21:51Speaker 1: we do blockchain settlement, We we have custody, we do
- 21:54Speaker 1: cross border transfers. There's seventeen primary ways of doing cross
- 21:58Speaker 1: border transfers. Swift payments are just one of them. And
- 22:02Speaker 1: so you know, we've got an AI technology that helps
- 22:05Speaker 1: us to determine, you know, what's the lowest cost way
- 22:07Speaker 1: to do that transfer. And if we're open twenty four
- 22:09Speaker 1: to seven, three sixty five, you're going cross border. You know,
- 22:12Speaker 1: you don't have the cutoffs on the banks at five pm,
- 22:16Speaker 1: and it doesn't take multiple days to get this stuff
- 22:18Speaker 1: cross border. It's just silly that we're operating out in
- 22:21Speaker 1: banking times. And so for those that are out here
- 22:23Speaker 1: today thinking about the future, those are out here today
- 22:27Speaker 1: trying to dream about where the areas that we could
- 22:30Speaker 1: you know, really really change some things. I think that
- 22:32Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot of incredible adoption and
- 22:36Speaker 1: just far more efficient ways of transacting doing life, just
- 22:40Speaker 1: like AI now is integrated into our lives and is
- 22:42Speaker 1: you know, helping us to respond to emails and you know,
- 22:45Speaker 1: put some notes together and put some ideas together, help
- 22:47Speaker 1: us parent better whatever.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Write books, hybooks, sure, I mean I wrote the books,
- 22:53Speaker 3: but the AI made it so much easier to do.
- 22:57Speaker 3: And you know, I'm writing a new book right now,
- 23:00Speaker 3: leasing something about a scandal that touches every one of
- 23:02Speaker 3: us personally many times per week. And yeah, I wrote
- 23:08Speaker 3: the book, but then I was proofing it and I
- 23:10Speaker 3: had about fifteen uncommon punctuation errors, tenses wrong and things
- 23:16Speaker 3: like that, and man like now, the thing is perfect,
- 23:20Speaker 3: the grammar is perfect in it, so can't stress it enough?
- 23:24Speaker 3: Well dated, How do we connect with you? How do
- 23:27Speaker 3: we find you on the web? Where's your website?
- 23:30Speaker 1: Website for our financial advisory firm is my SPG dot com.
- 23:35Speaker 1: We are located here in the Greater Seattle area, but
- 23:38Speaker 1: we have we're SEC so we are nationwide. I will
- 23:42Speaker 1: have an international component to that with the bank, but
- 23:45Speaker 1: you know, people can find me on Instagram and Facebook
- 23:48Speaker 1: too and all the various ways. But you know, we
- 23:53Speaker 1: were I believe that it's really important right now that
- 23:57Speaker 1: that people are listening to voices that are going to
- 23:59Speaker 1: be in the truth, voices that are going to be
- 24:01Speaker 1: able to share the ideas that can actually make a
- 24:04Speaker 1: difference for them. And so that's that's our thesis, that's
- 24:06Speaker 1: who we are, that's what we're trying to accomplish, and
- 24:09Speaker 1: not just you know, towe some line because this is
- 24:11Speaker 1: the way things have been done. I think that we
- 24:14Speaker 1: need to wake up to the reality of where things
- 24:17Speaker 1: are here. And I'll be starting a podcast in the
- 24:20Speaker 1: next month that folks will be able to watch, you know,
- 24:23Speaker 1: on YouTube, et cetera as well.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Right, excellent all right, Hey been great having you on.
