• 0:02

• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Are we in a bounts Well, we're going to find
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: out today. Let's just go into a lot of what's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: happening in general. If you look at the overall crypto
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: fear and greed, you can kind of see some things
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: happening here.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: This is insane. Have we ever seen the depths of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: hell of five? No, we have not, but now we have.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: That's a new one right there. As we continue to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: dive in Now. The question is is how much further
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: can this actually go? And I think a lot of
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: people are looking at not only institutions, they're looking at
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the clarity situation. All of this is playing out right
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in front of us. So I want to go to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a clip that gets into Congress saying ooh, I feel
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the pressure. Take a look.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: We're spending a lot. I feel like I'm in crypto hell.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I know, Cynthia, welcome to it, and God bless you,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and I really appreciate what you did on the stable
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: coins bill. We want these products buil in America. Crypto
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: is here to stay, and we need clear rules of
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the road. Stable Coin was simple compared to market structure,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and we are working our tail off. You know, we'll
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: deal with yields and rewards, We'll deal with the host
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of other issues, but these national security issues around DE
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: five are real.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Senator.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I look forward to working with you on that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We we love your technical assistance, and I think you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: will be invited to our next round robin on that,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and that maybe later today or tomorrow or Monday's so well.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Good And if you could convince some of the there
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: seems to be a nihilist group in the industry who
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: would prefer no regulation over this very good regulation.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Amen, brother, So way in, I way in, E way in.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: We have to get this clarity across the finish line,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: and any market participants who don't market participants who don't
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: want it should move to El Salvador.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: One last comment, I know my time is no last comment.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Oh ho, gentic Ai. We got to come back and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: talk about agentic AI, all right, so.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: You can get to see the tit for tag kind
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of going on. What you're dealing with is maybe some
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: of some of DC that is now lining up to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: maybe get in order in terms of the negotiations that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: need to be paid. But really I think we are
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: dealing with them calling out most of the crypto industry
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: for pushing back on the one thing that protects American
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of course investors, and that has being able to earn
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: yield on your stable coins. So this isn't the end
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of it either. John Boozeman went on and I went
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit further into this, saying, here's where we
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: may be going.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Take a look, but I feel very strongly that we'll
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: get it done this year.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: But are you thinking weeks or months?
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: I'm thinking months probably, but not a lot.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Of months, all right, So months, I mean, come on, guys,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: we are talking about a point of no return on
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the price of bitcoin, ethereum and some of the major
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: assets that dictate where this market is going to be going.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: This has gotten to a point where I think it
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: is affecting all of society. And this is one example
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: right here. This is a Nobel professor weighing in on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: where the crypto industry is. Take a look.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Is this crypto's fimble winter.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: We have talked about crypto winters a few times in
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: the past, and I got carried away with the winter metaphor,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: and in Norse mythology, the fimble winter is the final
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: disastrous winter before Ragnarok, the end of all things, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: it has back several times from big declines because people
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: have faith in it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: But this time looks different.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: A lot of the recent rise has been driven by
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Strategy inc. And other you know, crypto hoorders. The kind
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: of sentimental or almost mystical attachment that people have had
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: to bitcoin itself probably doesn't apply to shares in strategy
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: in some ways tied to what you think Trump's.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: For future prospects are. So this is different.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I don't think it would have gotten up to one
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: hundred and twenty five thousand, or you know thereabouts.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Without his election.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: It's possible that the day of reckoning might have waited longer.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: You know, the sell America trade, the debasement trade, first
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: of all, should have benefited bitcoin. A lot of people
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: sold bitcoin as being the next gold. The next goal
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: turns out to be gold, not Bitcoin. I think it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: a big wake up for people that, you know, maybe
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: this isn't actually going to be an enduring asset. And
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: I guess it's really really hard when people make price
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: forecasts for big I always wonder on what basis.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not like you could do a.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Price earnings rasue on this thing, because there's no no earnings,
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: no services.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: It's all just pure faith.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: But it does feel like we're seeing a real crisis
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: of faith right now.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: A real crisis of faith. One of the other statements
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: he made was is this going to be an enduring asset?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: That is of bitcoin that he's talking about. And I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: think when you look at one of the biggest bitcoin
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: buyers out there, you have to look to Tether. They
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of course have flipped the script and continue to put
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: more into gold with another one hundred and fifty million.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I know that's just a drop in the bucket, but
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the point is they continue to go in that direction.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And I think this is the question, is how bitcoin
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is holding up against store of value assets like gold,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And that is the point that we are getting at.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Are we at a point of no return like this
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: professor is alluding to? Is that is this asset done?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: That's the question everybody's asking right now. Let me go
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to another clip here that's trying to get people to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: stay in the game.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Take a look, convince them right now.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: Well, silver has been trading on hyper liquid for about
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: two or three weeks. Last Friday was the single largest
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: day for volume of silver trading history. Hyper Liquid was
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: two percent of the volume. And I think of hype
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: the native tokens as more similar to equity in a company.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: So it's much more valued based on the price earnings,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: based on the volumes. And they're trading the Nasdaq, they're
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: trading SpaceX, they're trading Tesla, real application of real world assets,
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: and Hype the native token is up forty percent. It's
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: because the volumes have been growing, revenue has been growing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Last year revenue is just under a billion dollars. There's
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: eleven employees. This is a real business.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: All right, So you see that we are seeing a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: shift here. And the other thing that he's kind of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: alluding to is that there's access globally to get into
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: assets such as silver on a tokenized level. This of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: course starts to suck up wind out of the market
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: on major assets like bitcoin, even ethereum to a certain extent.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So this is I think a point where we have
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to understand are the major markets supporting where the digital
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: asset market is going?
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Here is Bloomberg, who wins big if this becomes a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: major asset class. Here's what they had to say, is.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: This people selling crypto to cover losses elsewhere?
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: Is it more fundamental than that?
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: It feels like there's some more fundamental issues within the
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: crypto industry. So based on what I'm talking everyone I'm
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: talking to in the crypto industry, there's a cris of face,
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: not just not just Bitcoin as a digital goal, also
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: other cryptocurrencies. Right, Like you see like Ethereum, Solona, all
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: these blockchains and crypto are supposed to sort of build
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: like rebuild a Wall Street and rebuild fintech and new
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: bank and what. But that's not really happen right now, all.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Right, so you can see it. Bloomberg is actually asking
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the question, is and our digital assets here to stay?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I think the fact that we have major institutions on
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Wall Street, especially on the media side, already at that stage,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: it's clear they have never been in the crypto market before.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: These are the kind of things we face all the time.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people in Wall Street are
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: getting the first real taste of what a market pullback
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and a bear winter, a winter bear market should and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: does look like. Here. Of course was Tom Lee that
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: went in and kind of did something a little bit
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: unusual at Michael Saylor's earning skull.
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: Take a look Tom Lee from fund strad and bickmind Hi, I.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Took a ton of notes.
• 8:50
  Speaker 10: On slide fifty three, you talked about quantum vulnerability of bitcoin,
• 8:56
  Speaker 10: and I apologize and that's getting little nerdy. But I
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: know a lot of people have questions about quantum vulnerability because,
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: as you know, the tap root wallets actually are somewhat
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: quantum vulnerables. So I think that's like twenty five or
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: thirty percent of all bitcoin wallets out there.
• 9:13
  Speaker 11: I don't think it's appropriate for us to advocate a
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: particular solution or a particular time frame. If you accelerate
• 9:23
  Speaker 11: those and pressurize those processes, you end up solving a
• 9:28
  Speaker 11: bunch of problems that don't exist in a way that
• 9:30
  Speaker 11: may be are iatrogenic. Nor do I think it's really
• 9:34
  Speaker 11: responsible or appropriate for us to do that. By the way,
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: it's not clear anything should be done.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Ever.
• 9:39
  Speaker 11: Big Cloub's going to boil the ocean use all the
• 9:42
  Speaker 11: energy on Earth as late as twenty eighteen, and that
• 9:45
  Speaker 11: never happens. It's possible that whatever happens in the quantum
• 9:48
  Speaker 11: domain will actually improve the security of the Bitcoin network,
• 9:51
  Speaker 11: and advertently before we have to even discuss the protocol change.
• 9:55
  Speaker 11: So I don't think there's any particular policies.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm telling you that. First of all, Man, what
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: wavos Tom Lee has to be able to bring up
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: quantum threats on strategies call the fact they invited him
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in there very interesting as well. But the point is
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that I think Sailor may have could have maybe handled
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: that a little bit better in the sense of looking
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: at at one point down the road, does Bitcoin actually
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: have to change yeah, I heard you heard me say that. Guys,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: if we do get to a quantum threat, that it
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: is going to be one thing to watch out for. Well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: he goes in further, Tom Lee didn't stop there. Take
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a look at this clip.
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: But the second part is there's only four point four
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: million walts that have even ten thousand dollars worth a bitcoin,
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: which means the world hasn't really adopted bitcoin yet. And
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: so you know, as you think about the rest of
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: this year, could you give us, like what you think
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: are some milestones or road maps that further drive bitcoin adoption,
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: which in turn helped the price of bitcoin.
• 10:56
  Speaker 11: The fundamental catalysts are regulatory.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Tom Ley, I'm gonna have to give you an award.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I think we'll have one to hand to you. But
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that's that's the biggest, uh, the biggest ones I've seen
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: in a while. To do something like that, Well, hey, listen,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: if that's not going to save us, what will. Well,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: one of the things you have to look at is
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Trump We're liberty files out there selling bitcoin and repaying
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: its ave loans right now to avoid liquidation. Are we
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: going to see more of them coming into the market,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And let's not forget. You also have this thing happening
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: right here where bitthamb actually accidentally sent out free bitcoin,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: even though I think a lot of people were looking
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: at this as more of a promo, a stunt, a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: publicity stunt in a time right now where everybody's searching
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: for bitcoin, and I think you have to consider that
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: if you look at what Tim Warren put up, he
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: hit it on the head.
• 11:53
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: This was bitthmb, the quorin exchange putting out the bitcoin
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: where they accidentally sent two thousand bitcoin, air dropped it
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and it was you're supposed to be a buck and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a half, real fat finger or publicity stunt. I agree
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: to the crowd here sixty nine percent that that was
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a publicity stump. Kudos to you guys, nice one. But
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I think there's going to be more that we'll see
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: coming at the market very soon. And this isn't necessarily funny,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: but I think anybody that's been in crypto for any
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: period of time, even if you were just in on
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the last bull run, you've seen this happen before in
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: major asset classes. Now. I think a lot of people
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: anticipated less of this impact. What it did do I
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: think is revealed the kind of asset class that it is,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and that is a speculative asset class. Bitcoin is not
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a store of value. It has proven that now against gold.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Whether gold gets as volatile because of the capacity of
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: now tokenized gold, that's the real question mark. Can it
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: hold up here is of course another one where mainstream
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: media is now spinning out bitcoin price predictions. So something
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: right here. Take a look.
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: Has it effected the stock market some amount of anxiety?
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 13:05
  Speaker 9: And people seeing the wealth that they have in bitcoin,
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: whether it's big or small, whatever get wipe away as
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: quickly as it did. It always causes people to go,
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: oh my god and get nervous, and they start selling
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: things that they shouldn't sell because they want their cash
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: in the bank because it makes them feel better. I
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: don't think the disaster bitcoin is over yet, but I
• 13:22
  Speaker 9: wouldn't be surprised if we saw bitcoin drag down into
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: the high fifties.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Oooh, that would be a headline, wouldn't it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: We estimate that bitcoin actually can drop to fifty thousand.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: And we're seeing predictions that it could be as much
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: as a seventy percent pullback from all time highs. So
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I didn't take it down towards the thirty eight to
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: forty thousand mocks. So I think a number of folks
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: are bracing for prices to go lower.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Well the braces in. I think a lot of you
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: are maybe not all the way into a seventy percent pullback.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Many of you might be let me know in the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: comments down below where you think it could go from
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: all time high. Just give me a percentage number of
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: what you got. Thing, because I always love to not
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: only read your comments, because we listen to our audience
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and really understand what you guys are looking at as
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: well on many of these assets. All right, So another
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: thing you have to look at is where is China
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: on all of this? Because the market is falling and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: here is something they're doing. China is of course banning
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the unapproved oversea issuance of you on linked not stable coins,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: but actual CBDCs. This is the problem that we will
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: continue to see anytime we start to see central bank
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: digital currencies proliferate around the world, and that is control
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: they'll reach in there and of course control it. This
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: is right up their alley of what this looks like.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: And don't forget there are a lot of countries that
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: are looking at CBDC like currency like this as opposed
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to the United States. Now, granted, many people would argue
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: that maybe stable coins have that if you look at
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the capacity of being able to freeze assets, and maybe
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: how what we will see in the market structure will
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: help frame that up some. But one of the things
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you do have to consider is why hasn't Trump weighed
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: in on this. Now I won't say what he did do,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: but he wasn't out there tweeting to support the crypto industry.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: He hasn't made a statement on stable coin yield, He
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: hasn't made a statement on affordability. Because crypto is one
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: of the ways that will bring the modern everyday guy
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: up from the ranks and possibly put them back into
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: a position of wealth or an opportunity to at least
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: get to wealth. This is where Trump needs to be going.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I'm very disappointed that he hasn't done that. That's probably
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the worst thing. And of course the Democrats are seizing
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the day, and they're doing it right here with something
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: like this. Cryptocrash accelerates as investors flee risky assets. The
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: keywords here, guys, are risky assets. They are trying to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: scare modern day investors and anyone out of this market
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: to do one thing, and that is save the banks
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and the treasure trove of lobby money that makes their
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: way over to Congress in support of the banks. Well,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: when you think about in support of the banks, you
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: have to flip on the other side and think in
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: support of corruption, because corruption is one of the reasons
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that the Democrats are pushing back. And here, of course
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: is World Liberty five saying don't worry, We're going to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: save you.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Take a look.
• 16:17
  Speaker 12: Above the noise. Clarity begins on February eighteenth, twenty twenty six.
• 16:28
  Speaker 12: Global leaders will gather in Palm Beach, Florida. Mara Lago,
• 16:33
  Speaker 12: Palm Beach, Florida. Welcome to the World Liberty Forum.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, We're going to see if this
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: plays out. This may be great, it may be one
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of the biggest train wrecks that has ever happened in crypto.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But the one thing you can bet on is that
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: we are continuing to see the market take a lot
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of heat, with exception of starting to see a little
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: bit of movement right here, as you see kind of
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: a speckled layout out of some assets that are starting
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: to grow. Some assets that of course have had a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: great opportunity have taken some of these liquidity opportunities from
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: crypto and move them in maybe into equity. So is
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that where people are going. Are they getting out of
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: maybe some of the volatile trades of both silver and gold.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Are they looking back to equities? Maybe the AI play
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: or others. I think some of these the midcaps may
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: also be a play here as we start to see
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: some of those rise. This is going to get very
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: interesting in the next few weeks because this is the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: time Clarity is literally at a crossroads. Right now. I
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: want to go to another clip because Eric balshunis brought
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: up a topic we kind of talked about a little
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: bit this week with another guest, and that is where
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: are the boomers? Are they actually investing into these ETFs?
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: Take a look the volatility and this feeling, this depressed
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: feeling is kind of the cost of the Holy Grail
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: returns that most people have gotten.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: This is like what the eighth or ninth time on
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: a draw down, more than forty percent in the end,
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: six percent of people have left. That's pretty good considering
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: it's forty percent off its highs. So for now, the
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: ETF boomers have really come through. I think, first of all,
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: the boomers have seen a lot of things in their lives.
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: They know things go up and down, right, They've got
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: some wisdom. Second of all, they probably have a core
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: portfolio made up of like stocks and bonds and real
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: cheap Vanguard funds, and they're very happy with that. This
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: is like hot sauce. This is like a little fun
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: on the side. I think a lot of them probably
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: made a community to themselves to hold for a couple
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: of years, knowing it's volatile. Not everybody will be able
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: to hang though. We'll see what happens. But yeah, ironically,
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: the boomers are making this way less bad than it
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: could be.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I agree with this. This is the thesis
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing from a lot of i won't say wealth manager,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: high networth individuals, and a handful of invest groups that
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: have kind of talked about this very thing, is that
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: boomers are actually coming in and doing some of what
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: even me. I'm looking at a strategy here of dollar
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: cost averaging on bitcoin, especially when we see a sub
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: sixty The opportunity I think is going to be unbelievable
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: getting it in the sixties, yesterday or this week, I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: think has just been a gift. Now, will it go
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: down into a seventy percent retracement? That's a very good possibility.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Sure it could happen. But if you're looking long term,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: whether it's eth, XRP, Salona, or Bitcoin, all of these
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: are seeing some of the lowest amounts of prices that
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: we have seen since twenty twenty three. So this is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: getting into a very heated space. Now are other people
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: starting to look at this, well, they could be looking
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: at it two ways.
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: If you look at the Google.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Trend right now, bitcoin search has spiked. Now this could
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: either be a negative or it could be a positive.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: People saying all right, is this the time to buy?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: When there is blood in the water like what we're seeing. Remember,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: though we have not seen the S and P pull
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: back you tremendously, We have not seen gold fully retrace,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and we have definitely not seen silver. Silver has been
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: somewhat of an erratic asset in terms of opportunity. So
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: is bitcoin maybe getting some new money considering to start
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to look for a new entry point? Watch out, guys,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: there could be some new entry points. The question is
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: where on where and when will it happen? Well, Charles
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Hoskinson says, this is what this market is built for.
• 20:29
  Speaker 13: Take a look, we don't have four hundred years of
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: legacy to lean on to do things exactly the right way,
• 20:40
  Speaker 13: and yet you exclude all the brilliance, all the amazing advancements.
• 20:44
  Speaker 13: Today right now, these systems can process billions of transactions
• 20:50
  Speaker 13: every month. Today, right now, these systems are far more
• 20:53
  Speaker 13: advanced for your identity or data and your self sovereignty
• 20:58
  Speaker 13: than anything that has ever been built in the legacy world.
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: And pieces of the puzzle are everywhere, with Salona and
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: Suite and Cardano and Midnight. All we have to do
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: is just put them together and make them easy to use.
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: Is that so hard? Are we just so thereft of
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: common sense and ability that somebody's not going to figure
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: out how to package it in a way that's mainstream.
• 21:20
  Speaker 13: It's a ticking time bomb. Someone's going to do it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 13: I'm fighting for it. The Talic is fighting for it,
• 21:26
  Speaker 13: and Totally is fighting for it. We're going to figure
• 21:28
  Speaker 13: it out and whoever does, the floodgates open and we win.
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: In the meantime, we have to endure the red.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Alright, So what you saw there with Charles, I think
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: he uncovered something that is unique, and that is he's
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: identifying the fact that this is still an early stage market.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: You know, my days of you know, early stage markets
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: in Silicon Valley were kind of the same way because
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't know how to take the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: early stage Internet, the birth of mobile social That I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: think is where we are right now. The difference here
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that may sit a little bit precarious is that we
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: have seen Wall Street address this a little bit more,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you know, evenly. I don't understand why we haven't seen
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: more of that now. I think clarity is still in
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the way. But if we get this to a point
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: where we do package it into a way where retail
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: understands this, private offices, high network individuals, and it becomes
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: just a general investment opportunity, that's the holy grail. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: think that's where we're going. It is still early, which
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: means you are early in the space. I want to
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: go to a couple other tweets here. This was by Charles.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: He hit on it right here, revealed his crypto holdings
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: plunged over three billion, all right. I don't know how
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: many billions he was worth but three billion to lose.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That tells you this guy is in for the long haul.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Kudos to Charles. I actually have a little bit more
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: respect for that man now because he's holding through some
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: of the worst times that we've seen. Here. Of course,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: was the poll is the bottom end for crypto? I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: answered it. I said, no, I think fifty k is
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: in the in the cards now. Could it be in
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the cards of mediately?
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: No.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I think we still are dealing with a situation around clarity.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: The key here is if we get more delay on clarity,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: if we get other liquidation events, and if there is
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a ten to ten unravel that has still not happened,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: which many people think there is a dark day heading
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: for something like that because of the ten ton space
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: in terms of that liquidation that hit the market. Hunter Horseley,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: this is interesting too because he tweeted this right here.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Every time crypto gets crushed, I get invited on TV.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: And this was December of twenty eighteen. You guys remember
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: three K to nineteen the prier prior year. November eight,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, FTX salts withdrawals, and then today and
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: bitcoin is down sixteen percent. So Hunter, I'm with you. Man,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: it's a pleasure to be here with you and serving
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: in these kinds of times. And it's not funny, guys.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are hurting out there
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: right now, but these are the kind of things. If
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you've been in crypto long enough, just like me, you
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: understand these are the days that do happen. Yes, many
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: of you have probably taken some profits, taking money off
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the table. Kudos everybody that's done that. You can never
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: do that enough. Always look at that. You're never gonna
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: time the bottom, You're never going to time the top.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: So just play it in a way where these opportunities
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: represent themselves and look at the narratives of where it's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: going from there. One thing I did, of course, yeah
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I'm buying dips an XRP would be one of them,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: because XRP is snapping back nearly twenty percent after its
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: sell off. So continue to see volatility on the big boys.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: That's everything from Solana, XRP, ethereum, biccoin obviously all hitting.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: But the key here for Ripple they actually need clarity
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to be able to really make their plan work. In
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: the United States. They're already starting to do this in
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the EU around the world, but the United States is
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the market for Ripple. If they don't get clarity, this
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: is a problem for Ripple. We're gonna be staying staying
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: very close on this and of course covering all of this,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: so hopefully you guys you have a great weekend. We'll
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: see where it goes from here. If you like this video,
