- 0:32None. The.
- 1:18Welcome back to the Big MIG Show Global Finance Forum, of course,
- 1:22powered by Genesis Gold Group. I'm your host today, Lance
- 1:26Miliacho. I will not be joined by Jonathan
- 1:28Rose or Jacob Diaz as they are busy.
- 1:31As you know, they've got their hands full out there in LA.
- 1:33And George Ballantine, he's behind the scenes, but he is
- 1:37working on our studio down in West Palm Beach, FL.
- 1:41We're building out a new studio and that's going to be for our
- 1:44Crypto Power Hour show. We hope to be up and running and
- 1:47maybe the next two to three weeks.
- 1:49We've got all the equipment. We're just waiting to wrap up
- 1:52some of the details and some of the other items that are coming
- 1:54in to finish up studio. But he's been slaving way down
- 1:56there and of course it didn't feel like he would represent the
- 1:59show correctly because he didn't really have time to clean up.
- 2:02He's working as the GC down there.
- 2:04So it's really he's got his hands full on the job.
- 2:06Turned out to be a lot bigger than we thought it was going to
- 2:08be. But of course, you know, on this
- 2:10show, we're your go to source for cutting edge insights in the
- 2:13world of finance. Genesis Goal Group believes in
- 2:15empowering faith driven stewardship or gold and silver
- 2:18are an integral part of a balanced portfolio.
- 2:21And of course, protecting your finances with precious metals
- 2:23has never been more crucial. Join us as we explore the forces
- 2:27shaping global markets, the power of precious metals, and
- 2:31the dynamics that influence economies across borders.
- 2:34Listen, George just threw up the QR code.
- 2:36I'm going to give a quick shout out for the Genesis gold guys.
- 2:38You know what we're going to be talking about the prepper bar.
- 2:40If you don't have some of these yet, you should.
- 2:42The 62.2g prepper bar perforated, easily broken down.
- 2:47I want to say this, what about to say isn't crazy conspiracy
- 2:50theory. The digital dollar is coming.
- 2:53You've seen the crypto executive orders, the initiate on crypto
- 2:57is big in full swing. That's why we're doing the
- 2:59crypto Power hour. But that's why we're telling you
- 3:01to have some gold and silver on hand.
- 3:03You never know what's going to happen to with the digital
- 3:06dollar or your U.S. dollar coming and what's going to be
- 3:09the effect. So having another way to pay for
- 3:11things just in case all of a sudden you don't have access to
- 3:13your funds if your accounts are shut down, if government takes
- 3:16more control, countries are hacking into our financial
- 3:19system right now. As we speak, they're going to
- 3:22try to triple the US dollar because that's one of the most
- 3:24powerful ways to attack us. And of course, that could make
- 3:27your accounts vanish, frozen, wiped out, monitored,
- 3:30controlled. The government's more control,
- 3:33more surveillance. Prepper bars are your absolute
- 3:36escape. These are real, tangible forms
- 3:38of wealth. They're available in gold and
- 3:40silver. They're mined and minted here in
- 3:43the US. The point is, head over to the
- 3:45bigmigbar.com. That's the bigmigbar.com.
- 3:48No hacker can steal these. Time is ticking.
- 3:51You need to act now to secure your prepper bars, either gold
- 3:55or silver. Get some for yourself.
- 3:56Get some for your family members.
- 3:58They make great grifts for birthdays, holidays, you name
- 4:01it. Right now I believe they're
- 4:02still offering the discount because I don't believe they
- 4:05pulled it. But you know, again, it might be
- 4:07a time thing. It could happen today.
- 4:09Use all caps prepper. That's PREPPER for 10% off on
- 4:13the silver and 5% off on the gold, which is an amazing deal.
- 4:17You don't really see go to discounts like that and gold and
- 4:20silver. So the big bigbar.com head over
- 4:22there now. Wow, what a week in the news
- 4:26cycle. I'm telling you, it's it's it's
- 4:28kind of mind blowing really what's going on.
- 4:30And you have to look at it from the perspective of how big
- 4:33things have gotten here since the Trump administration stepped
- 4:36in. We're only on day five, I think.
- 4:37I think it's day 5. Feels like it's day, day one
- 4:40year in swing. You know, executive orders are
- 4:45the big news in the news cycle. And you really have to take a
- 4:48look at the amount and the number of, first of all, to the
- 4:51audience, where the hell does Trump get all his energy?
- 4:54I need to bottle that stuff. I mean, I'm a pretty high energy
- 4:57guy. George is a pretty high energy
- 4:59guy without anything, You know, we really don't drink or do
- 5:02anything else. But the point is, you know, you
- 5:04try to take care of yourself physically.
- 5:05Trump is a beast. I mean, this guy is just
- 5:08cranking it out and you got to look at the the executive orders
- 5:12really was come up here, let's throw up that website.
- 5:14I want to show everybody where they can go.
- 5:16If you guys don't know, you can go to thewhitehouse.gov and
- 5:18slash presidential orders and these are the EOS, the executive
- 5:22orders before they're fully published on the other executive
- 5:24order site. But by by really looking at this
- 5:27website, you can find out really what's going on in the US and
- 5:30really maybe what's going on for your own finances.
- 5:33Of course, you know, you have to look at the fact that since the
- 5:36second term started, he's already put up a bunch of EOEOS
- 5:41related to oil, energy, cryptocurrency, digital assets,
- 5:44banking and finance. Now, here's a partial list.
- 5:47I know there's more than this, but I just want to read off a
- 5:49couple of these to you. And you can just see the website
- 5:51there. Just so you know where to go
- 5:52when it comes. First of all, he put on an
- 5:54executive order declaring a national energy emergency.
- 5:57Energy independence has been a big deal for Trump always.
- 6:00I appreciate that about him. Biden tried to shut us down, I
- 6:04believe, as a way of intentionally damaging us, tried
- 6:07to claim it was for the new Green New Deal, which I don't
- 6:09believe in at all. I don't believe it's all about
- 6:11that. We know that wind energy is
- 6:13inefficient. Nuclear's got some options.
- 6:16You know, hydrogen fuel cell is obviously valuable, but there
- 6:20are so many things that people are putting their money into
- 6:22that don't think. I mean, look, even EVs, if
- 6:24everybody in the United States had an EV, our current
- 6:27infrastructure for electrical power grid would not be able to
- 6:30maintain. But this order specifically
- 6:31declares a national emergency to expedite the development of
- 6:34domestic energy resources. Of course, it's aim is to reduce
- 6:37reliance on foreign energy, which has always been a goal of
- 6:40Trump's important when you think about the the whole thing that
- 6:43backs finance, which let's face it, without having energy
- 6:47independence, all finances at risk.
- 6:49So important. He had another order right away
- 6:52backed up unleashing American energy.
- 6:54And of course, that order revoked several previous
- 6:56executive orders related to climate change and environmental
- 6:58regulations that the Biden administration had passed.
- 7:02You know, he he's intending to promote the development of
- 7:04domestic energy resources, hopefully get the Keystone
- 7:07Pipeline XL back online. He's definitely, definitely
- 7:10opened up Alaska. He's opened up some of the
- 7:13coastal areas again. And he wants to reduce the wind
- 7:16energy. George and I were discussing
- 7:17this on the show the other day. The wind, the off, the coastal
- 7:22wind generators, the ones that are off in the water and the
- 7:24underwater generators are really screwing with ocean wildlife.
- 7:29I don't know if you saw the whales that beached in New
- 7:32Jersey, but I, I think this is great that he's going to change
- 7:35this. I don't think that stuff works
- 7:36very well and I don't think it's benefiting anybody.
- 7:38This last order was aimed at promoting energy development in
- 7:40Alaska and directs the review of potential rescissions of certain
- 7:44environmental decisions that were made by other
- 7:46administrations. No, listen, you know, AI is here
- 7:50to stay. Trump wants to be at the tip of
- 7:52the spear on it. You know, like we always talk
- 7:54about on our shows, to be in the tip of the spear.
- 7:57He's talking about strengthening American leadership in digital
- 8:00financial technology. Now, I man, is this important.
- 8:04You know, don't underestimate probably the, the, the country
- 8:09that has made some of the largest when it comes to
- 8:13development, and I'm talking about major developments is
- 8:16China. And we really don't want China
- 8:18to be that far ahead of us on AI.
- 8:20So he established this order. It's a task force, of course,
- 8:23the review and proposed regulations that those are going
- 8:25to protect and promote access to blockchain networks, stable
- 8:28coins, related banking services. And it reflects the, you know,
- 8:33the administration's intent to foster innovation in the
- 8:35cryptocurrency sector, which of course, digital financial
- 8:38technology, AI technology, both really relevant to that.
- 8:42And it's going to also reduce the regulatory hurdles, which I
- 8:45think are really important. I don't know if you guys saw it
- 8:48today, big news. He's he signed an executive
- 8:50order authorizing Doja. That's, that's a lock now that's
- 8:54done. So a department of government
- 8:57efficiency. And you can see the need for it,
- 8:59right? He's passing executive orders
- 9:03right now that are being ignored intentionally.
- 9:06There are federal judges right now currently ignoring his
- 9:09federal executive orders, acting like they don't exist or arguing
- 9:13with him why they shouldn't exist.
- 9:15And then the same thing. You've got the BLP he ordered.
- 9:18You know, all these J Sixers pardoned and released
- 9:21immediately. Well, now they're actually
- 9:23taking the J Sixers and moving them to other facilities, trying
- 9:27to stop the US Marshals from locating them.
- 9:29So the Department of Government efficiency should put a stop to
- 9:32that. I said the other day online, a
- 9:34lot of people like the post. I said that I thought all of a
- 9:37sudden, do we need an executive order to authorize that if
- 9:40anybody ignores an executive order, that immediate action is
- 9:43taken against that individual, meaning they're suspended,
- 9:46fired, maybe brought criminal charges against.
- 9:49It seems ridiculous that we mean any more paperwork.
- 9:52I'm with many of the other leaders in our nation.
- 9:54I think it's time for arrests. So we'll see where that goes.
- 9:57Now, listen, when you this next one is kind of a big deal.
- 10:00This is the executive order. He's establishing the
- 10:02president's working group on digital asset markets.
- 10:06Now that order is going to establish a working group, you
- 10:08know, led by David Sachs, who's the, you guys know him.
- 10:12He's the newly appointed White House AI and Cryptozar.
- 10:15And he wants to develop a, you know, comprehensive federal
- 10:18regulatory framework for digital assets.
- 10:20He doesn't want to restrict them.
- 10:22He wants to maximize growth, but he also doesn't want the
- 10:25nefarious parts of digital assets like rug pulls.
- 10:28He wants to figure a way to stop some of these scammers out there
- 10:31that are taking advantage of people in the crypto market.
- 10:34I think it's great. And Crypt is going to be tasked
- 10:36with exploring the creation of strategic national digital asset
- 10:39stockpile, which I believe is going to include at this point,
- 10:43their discussion is going to include Bitcoin and XRPI.
- 10:46Don't know what other ones there will be, although it's
- 10:49interesting. I think if you look at Liberty
- 10:51Media, Trump's crypto company, and look at what he's holding in
- 10:55their wallet, you should be able to identify a lot of the cryptos
- 10:58that are going into the crypto, you know, the strategic reserve.
- 11:04So I think that I think the creation of that strategic
- 11:06reserve is a big deal. And I think that policy
- 11:09recommendations they'll have done within 180 days is what
- 11:12they're talking about or sooner. That order is also going to
- 11:15prohibit the establishment of AUS central banking currency.
- 11:18So they're saying they don't want a digital currency.
- 11:21I don't know what that means for the companies that are that are
- 11:24talking about that like XRP, Ripple, We'll have to see where
- 11:26that heads. But I believe the digital
- 11:29currency is coming. But I want to think, I think
- 11:31they're trying to control it and make sure it's something that
- 11:32they have control of. Because I believe the real part
- 11:35of this is they want to get rid of the Federal Reserve Bank.
- 11:38And the Federal Reserve Bank clearly doesn't want to be
- 11:40gotten rid of the families that own that bank.
- 11:43It's not the US government, it's numerous families.
- 11:46They clearly have been getting away with murder.
- 11:48And I say that, you know, in a very cavalier manner.
- 11:52They've been getting ready with murder for a long time, charging
- 11:54the US government to print our currency.
- 11:56I mean, so they print a dollar, they print $100 bill for six or
- 11:59eight cents and they charge the US government $100 and interest
- 12:03on it as if as if they are creating something that's backed
- 12:06by hard assets like bullion. But it isn't.
- 12:11It's a Fiat currency. So we'll see what goes on there.
- 12:14Now you have to look at Trump's executive orders and you know,
- 12:17excludes the Fed, the FDIC from crypto working groups, which I
- 12:20think is is an important signal. As I just said, I don't think
- 12:24the Federal Reserve is going to be involved.
- 12:26So that order is going to exclude the US central bank from
- 12:29future stable coin regulation. He signed an executive order for
- 12:33some banking challenges for web three companies and he's trying
- 12:36to create a clean, clear regulations for all those
- 12:38digital assets. But the working group on digital
- 12:41asset markets is tasked with finding ways to promote US
- 12:44leadership in the crypto industry.
- 12:45You know, look, this is what we want.
- 12:48We want the, the, the US to be the global leader in digital and
- 12:53you know, crypto currency assets, right, blockchain, web
- 12:573D5, decentralized finance. And right now the Biden
- 13:02administration, because of their lack of action and of course,
- 13:05leaving a guy like Gary Gensler in place who did a tremendous
- 13:08amount of damage in the cryptocurrency market, they've
- 13:11allowed Dubai to really make some massive inroads.
- 13:15So this is what he's planning on doing is turning that around,
- 13:18which I think is great. It's important for us, you know,
- 13:21we have to be at the top of the food chain on AI and digital
- 13:25assets, cryptocurrency. We have to be, we don't have a
- 13:27choice. It's necessary for the safety
- 13:29and security in the United States.
- 13:30So I think these are great moves, you know, and that and
- 13:34that strategic digital asset stockpile is a is an important
- 13:37part of it. So if you get a chance to vote
- 13:39on it and you can talk to your own congressman, tell them that
- 13:41you're gung ho on it, because I think it really matters.
- 13:43Now, if you look at this, excluding the US Federal Reserve
- 13:46and FDIC from cryptocurrency working groups, I think we've
- 13:51got a message from Trump. And, and what is that message?
- 13:55I think the Federal Reserve is out.
- 13:57In the long term, it may not be an immediate thing because he
- 14:00doesn't want to tank the economy any more than the Biden
- 14:02administration did or cause more inflation.
- 14:04But I think in the long term and the Fed baby, I think it's out
- 14:09of here. So we'll, we'll keep our, we'll
- 14:12keep our eyes on that for you with our sources inside DC and
- 14:15we'll make sure that if that starts to look more serious,
- 14:18we'll talk to you about it. But you know, the de banking
- 14:22efforts, you have to look at what happened in the
- 14:23cryptocurrency and, and the crypto industry, the de banking
- 14:27efforts that were done by so many banks.
- 14:31And there's a great, there's a great quote I found.
- 14:33Caitlin Long was talking and she's the founder and CEO of
- 14:35Custodia Bank. She said Trump's crypto
- 14:37executive order excludes the Fed and FDIC from the digital asset
- 14:41working group. Both tried to kill the industry
- 14:44through de banking and especially targeted my company
- 14:47Custodia Bank. Both belong on the outside now.
- 14:53You know, Bank of America was part of that also.
- 14:55And you know how they debanked so many conservatives and we'll
- 14:57be talking about it in a little while here, but keep that in
- 15:00mind that a lot of banks didn't want cryptocurrency because it
- 15:03undermines their control of the current banking system, the
- 15:07SWIFT system and the rest of it meant and a challenge to it is
- 15:10that the blockchain system is the replacement for the Swiss
- 15:14system. I mean, really in the long term,
- 15:15that's what's going to happen. So, you know, Biden had multiple
- 15:19cryptocurrency firms were denied access to banking services and
- 15:22that was done intentionally. And some insiders are describing
- 15:25this as an orchestrated effort and they're calling it Operation
- 15:28Choke .2 Point O. And intentionally, he made sure
- 15:32that cryptocurrency firms got debanked.
- 15:34I know a couple of myself. In fact, the company we're doing
- 15:37the Crypto Power Hour with, Solom Global, had a DE banking
- 15:40effort. They got past it.
- 15:42But at the end of the day, why should that happen?
- 15:44These are legitimate companies with legitimate assets and
- 15:48legitimate development in the future.
- 15:50But this whole banking cartel, they kind of need to be put to
- 15:53stop. And hopefully this is what
- 15:54Trump's doing. Now.
- 15:56There's more than 30 technology and crypto founders who are
- 15:59secretly debanked over the past four years and that comes from
- 16:04Anderson Horowitz who's the Co founder of Mark Anderson of
- 16:07course. And that collapse of crypto
- 16:09friendly banks in 23 sparked the first allegations of Operation
- 16:13Choke .2 Point O. So lots of people have talked
- 16:16talked about that. It's out there.
- 16:17You just have to remember that this is what's going on in U.S.
- 16:20banks. You know, central banks that
- 16:21froze out stablecoin policies. You know, for so long, it's
- 16:25pretty incredible. the US central bank has been frozen out
- 16:27of stablecoin policy marking. I believe this is a means Scott
- 16:32Basant as Treasury sector would be firmly in charge of it.
- 16:35And I think Scott Basant is going to make the changes that
- 16:38we need. And that was a quote by long.
- 16:39Again, of course, if you know Basant, he's a billionaire, he's
- 16:43an investor, a hedge fund manager.
- 16:45He was previously a partner at Soros Fund Management.
- 16:48The guy's a real deal. He has a lot of knowledge.
- 16:51I don't like the link to Soros, but hopefully that's not
- 16:55relevant. Hopefully we we get past the
- 16:56scope of that. You know, I'm not a George Soros
- 16:58or Alexander Soros fan. I'd like to see an executive
- 17:01order on both of them. So let's talk about smoother
- 17:05crypto custody for U.S. banks. You know, so if you look on
- 17:11January 23rd, the the SEC rescinded which what I call a
- 17:15very controversial document called the Staff Accounting
- 17:18Bulletin 121 shortened as SAB 121.
- 17:23That was a rule that mandated financial firms holding a crypto
- 17:25on behalf of customers must record them as liabilities on
- 17:29their balance sheets. But now they've rescinded that
- 17:33and they and they've kind of given an interpretation that's a
- 17:35moderation of that, but they want to see that the smoother
- 17:38for U.S. banks to be able to, you know, register these
- 17:40custodial digital assets. Now for the first time ever,
- 17:44there was a loan issued against secure assets.
- 17:47The loan was issued and I don't remember the exact story.
- 17:50I wish I'd take grabbed it for you guys, but you can go look it
- 17:53up on the Internet. There was money loaned against
- 17:55Solana coins that than an individual loan.
- 17:58So it's interesting they were used as a secure asset, which
- 18:01which is a real change by the banking system.
- 18:04So, you know, hopefully this is all going to have a positive
- 18:06impact on where we're going with this.
- 18:08But you know, these executive orders I think are going to have
- 18:12massive waves in the financial markets.
- 18:16So if you look at the one they signed on Thursday, that was the
- 18:18one that was to promote the advancement of cryptocurrencies
- 18:21in the US and to work toward potentially developing a
- 18:24national digital asset stockpile.
- 18:26So I think Trump, you know, I think you look at David Sacks,
- 18:30Trump tapped him as as crypto and AI czar.
- 18:35He's joined Trump in the Oval also for the signing of that
- 18:38order. But I believe he has contributed
- 18:39in a massive way to where this is all heading.
- 18:43And I think you have to look at it as how can I, what can I do
- 18:47in my own financial world? And I, you know, we never give
- 18:50you financial advice on this show.
- 18:51We're giving you financial education, but you need to talk
- 18:54to your financial advisors and say, how can I participate in
- 18:57this crypto revolution? Where are some of the safest
- 19:00locations for me maybe to, you know, dip my toe in the water?
- 19:04You know, what do I do about that?
- 19:05And I think with with the kind of pushes the next three to four
- 19:08years in this administration, if you don't, you may very well
- 19:11miss generational wealth because right now across the globe, and
- 19:16this is a statistic you should hold on to, less than 5% of all
- 19:19the people in the entire planet are involved in digital assets
- 19:23and crypto. Now, if you think about that
- 19:25number, it's extremely small. This is a number that just
- 19:29doesn't represent the importance of this.
- 19:31I think people need to really get involved.
- 19:33And I know it's hard. Look, it's like learning a new
- 19:35language. I'm studying it all day now, off
- 19:37and on all day. George is doing the same thing
- 19:40and it's it's tricky. It is very, very complicated.
- 19:44The wallets and you want to know about meme coins and all coins
- 19:47and you want to know about, you know, what's a stable coin and
- 19:50which coins are the what you consider blue chip?
- 19:52Is Bitcoin really a blue chip? Is XRP really a blue chip where
- 19:56there's Ethereum set when it comes to short term contracts?
- 19:59I mean, this is all difficult, but you got it.
- 20:02Get yourself entrenched. YouTube's got some great shows.
- 20:05You'll have the crypto Power hour to turn to.
- 20:07You can always come to the Digital Finance Forum.
- 20:10You know, our show on Fridays here because it's global finance
- 20:13forum show, it's a great place to, you know, to get educated.
- 20:16You know, we're just touching on the fringe, the crypto power
- 20:19out. We're going to go, we're going
- 20:20to deep dive on that show. We're going to have the right
- 20:22guess, right information, the right education and we've got a
- 20:26lot of great potential hosts. We had a great host that's going
- 20:28to be coming out of the UK to join us that they're they're
- 20:31signing a deal with very soon. So that's exciting.
- 20:33So, you know, if you look at what he's talking about for this
- 20:38asset class and, and creating this strategic reserve of of
- 20:43digital assets, you know, recently the US Marshall service
- 20:45has always had the the the authority to auction off, seize
- 20:49Bitcoin along with all other crypto currencies at ether, you
- 20:53know, as Ethereum, Litecoin, you name it.
- 20:56But they were talking about auctioning off the ones that
- 20:59come from the Silk Road. And I believe that's been
- 21:03stopped dead in its tracks because Trump is talking about
- 21:05adding those to the strategic reserve.
- 21:07So when you had that dip on Bitcoin because of that, it's a
- 21:10pre emptive dip. And you have to watch about the
- 21:13emotion of this market. You got a lot of very new
- 21:15investors. None of not all of them are
- 21:18extremely experienced because of the narrow window of Bitcoin.
- 21:21So they tend to act the news like, I think a lot of the stuff
- 21:23that Trump did was good news and we saw a dip in all the crypto
- 21:26markets. I can't imagine why what he said
- 21:28would cause a sell off. Part of it had to do supposedly
- 21:31with his comments about digital asset, a stable coin running in
- 21:35for a digital US coin. But I don't know, you know, I
- 21:39think I think those guys overreacted and it already turns
- 21:42out because it's coming back up right now.
- 21:44So maybe a lot of other people think the same thing.
- 21:47So he, you know, he said that he would keep 100% of all the
- 21:50Bitcoin in the US government currently holds or acquires in
- 21:53the future. So that has to do with seizures.
- 21:55So I don't think those sales are going to occur.
- 21:56So good news for the Bitcoin holders.
- 21:59We'll see what happens. Of course, you know, the the
- 22:02founder of Silk Road was just released on another executive
- 22:07order. He was given clemency so that,
- 22:10you know, a presidential pardon. So I think he's that's really
- 22:14going to be a big deal here because I'm wondering if he has
- 22:17wallets that were inactive of coins the US government did not
- 22:20seize and what that means. Are those coins going to be back
- 22:23in play? So we'll see what happens.
- 22:25Of course, that crypto task force is going to be extremely
- 22:29important on all this. And you know, when you look at
- 22:33Basant, he's a pro crypto hedge fund manager.
- 22:36And I think the way he's leading is exactly where we need to head
- 22:40with this. So this is all going to be
- 22:42crucial. So you're looking at what?
- 22:44So right now, because of Trump, Wall Street a bunch of CE OS
- 22:52more than Michael Saylor. You know, he's already jumped
- 22:54in. There's a lot of companies that
- 22:55already own Bitcoin strategic, a dollar, you know, amounts in
- 22:59their investment portfolios for different institutional
- 23:02investors and companies. But it looks like Wall Street's
- 23:05getting ready to double up. A bunch of top CE OS told CNBC
- 23:09from Davos, Switzerland this week that they're ready to go
- 23:11bigger into crypto if the Trump admin rolls out favorable
- 23:15policies. One of those policies has got to
- 23:17do with domestic crypto currencies.
- 23:21And what we're hearing is that he's going to make those tax no
- 23:24capital gains. Can you imagine the impact of
- 23:28any cryptocurrency in the US gets no cap?
- 23:32Yeah, man, that's a big one. I mean, and you have to look at
- 23:36it. I agree.
- 23:38I mean, it's it's a big one. So while they're waiting and you
- 23:40know, and they're looking at those sweeping promises from
- 23:42Trump and those digital assets sector.
- 23:45And he's he's obviously nominated and put a lot of
- 23:47people into his administration that are pro crypto.
- 23:50The crypto communities have been putting big money into the
- 23:53congressional and Senate campaigns.
- 23:56They're doubling down. You know, Brad Garlin, House has
- 23:58put a bunch of money out, as have a bunch of others, Binance,
- 24:01Coinbase. So they're really trying to get
- 24:04a wide swathe. And I think that's going to be
- 24:06an impact. I think the old guard of DC, you
- 24:09know, the Nancy Pelosi's and some of these older long term,
- 24:15you know, political, you know, some people call them political
- 24:20royalty. I call them political scum.
- 24:22You know, they're out I think because they don't really
- 24:24understand the crypto market. I don't think they're set for
- 24:26that market. And I think like we're going to
- 24:28see it in the vote, in the voting booth here over the next
- 24:31couple of election cycles for congressional members.
- 24:35I think we're going to continue. I think the Republicans will
- 24:37continue to control the House and the Senate because of their
- 24:40crypto, of their sweeping promises.
- 24:42So as long as they fulfill those promises, I think we're going to
- 24:44be set. So look, what's the regulation
- 24:48going to look like for the future?
- 24:50I know everybody out there is going well.
- 24:51What does this mean, Lance? What's the regular?
- 24:53I don't know. I don't know how strict they're
- 24:55going to be. I personally believe because of
- 24:57liberty, you know, media and their financial investment, the
- 25:01world media, I think it's going to be pretty light.
- 25:04I think they're going to try to keep the regulation at a
- 25:06minimum. That's my take.
- 25:08You know that Trump made some really bold statements to the
- 25:11Davos crowd basically telling them that their reign of
- 25:14controlling people is over with. He's going to put an end to it
- 25:17here in the United States. I believe that's going to
- 25:19include the Federal Reserve. You know, I think it's, I think
- 25:23the new administration is going to be all about protecting and
- 25:26promoting. I think they want to, you know,
- 25:29make sure that the US is a safe haven for crypto, maybe even a,
- 25:33you know, a tax free haven for crypto.
- 25:36Maybe it'll go beyond the scope of US coins.
- 25:39You know, if you look at the SEC under Gensler, they made a bunch
- 25:43of really bad decisions. They brought more than 200
- 25:47cryptocurrency related enforcement actions.
- 25:50And that's not good for the industry.
- 25:52They started doing it in 2013, acting as if crypto was a stock
- 25:56and it's not a stock. So I think that Trump's going to
- 26:00go to the opposite of that. I don't think he's going to, you
- 26:02know, let people get away with things that are that are taking
- 26:04advantage of people. I think rug pulls are definitely
- 26:07going to have more scrutiny. I think if any of these
- 26:09celebrity coins or meme coins where they think they're going
- 26:11to go in and scam people, I think that's going to go away.
- 26:14And I think those people are going to pay the consequences
- 26:16for it. They won't get to keep the money
- 26:17even if they do rug pull. So I think that's going to be an
- 26:20interesting an interesting thing.
- 26:22I've heard some stories about it.
- 26:24So you know, that'll be big. So right now and the banking
- 26:27industry right now is talking about crypto is just a just
- 26:29being another form of payment. We've seen some integration on
- 26:32some platforms like Apple and others, Bank of America.
- 26:36I'm not a pro of it. But the CEO, you know, Brian
- 26:38Moynihan echoed he's a willingness to embrace crypto
- 26:41specifically as a payment option as long as the regulatory
- 26:45environment shifts under the new administration.
- 26:48You know, if the rules come in and make it a real thing that
- 26:50you can actually do business with, you'll find the banking
- 26:53system will come in hard on the transactional side of it.
- 26:56That's a direct quote from Moynihan.
- 26:58So that's a big change. You didn't hear that before.
- 27:02You know, Moynihan's running the second biggest bank by assets in
- 27:05the US. So this is just going to be, you
- 27:08know, and he and he's talking about it's just another form of
- 27:10payment like Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay.
- 27:13So these are, these are big moves here.
- 27:16And I think when you get a, if you get a positive banking
- 27:20industry level of support, all that's going to do is grow it.
- 27:23You guys know that these ETFs out there are just blowing up.
- 27:27They had a huge impact on Bitcoin.
- 27:29That's what take you. I think Bitcoin today is 100 and
- 27:31four 105,000, which hit an all time high this week.
- 27:35Also. I think it went to 109 at one
- 27:36point and changed. It almost broke that level of
- 27:39resistance at 1:10, but it just couldn't quite get there, you
- 27:42know. And you know, that was on
- 27:46Monday, of course, and that was ahead of Trump's inauguration,
- 27:49which led to a lot of gains in the crypto market.
- 27:52And let me tell you, the cabinet picks are getting pushed
- 27:54through. He is getting the people he
- 27:56wants. Of course, there's some
- 27:57resistance from the old, the old guard hardliners that don't like
- 28:01Trump. They're trying to cause as much
- 28:02problem as possible. Let's let's maybe do this.
- 28:06You know, I know we've got to take a short break.
- 28:08But when we come back, what I want to do is I want to really
- 28:11teach you guys about strategic reserves and what they are.
- 28:14Let's talk about what is a strategic reserve when the big,
- 28:18big Global Finance Forum returns and we'll we'll definitely cover

- 31:44Welcome back to the Global Finance Forum powered by Genesis
- 31:47Gold Group. I'm your host, Lance Miliaccio,
- 31:49and this is the second-half of the hour.
- 31:52Let's talk about, you know, the beginning of this year had so
- 31:55many uncertainties. Hopefully things are back on
- 31:57track now that Trump's back in. But is red hot inflation going
- 32:00to continue? The Fed has really printed
- 32:03trillions of dollars in just a few short years, and I believe
- 32:06it's $8.2 trillion if you want the exact number if taxes are
- 32:10going up. Still, the government is busily
- 32:12falling half its budget in the military industrial complex.
- 32:15Yeah, of course. Hopefully, we hope that the
- 32:17Department of Government Efficiency is going to fix that.
- 32:20But as a result, the US dollar has lost value.
- 32:23What we need is return to our American roots, backed by gold
- 32:26and faith. And instead of using tricks to
- 32:28get customers on the hook, then punishing them with huge
- 32:30spreads, Genesis Gold Group, our sponsor, chooses to educate and
- 32:35serve. That's right, educate and serve.
- 32:38They believe in two things. And this comes right from the

- 32:45self-directed Iras backed by physical precious metals.
- 32:49They've been the primary focus for Genesis Gold for decades,

- 32:55They only work with physical gold and silver because it can
- 32:57be stored on the customer's behalf in a depository.

- 34:17Look at it now. Let me also point out Genesis
- 34:20Gold Group's got an amazing product coming out.
- 34:21They have, they have legally set up a way for you to have an
- 34:24opportunity to use your IRA to get access to blue chip crypto
- 34:31investments. It's going to be an incredible
- 34:33opportunity. The company's got amazing
- 34:35returns that they've partnered with.
- 34:38This is going to be an incredible product.
- 34:39I'm with Jonathan Rose and Jacob Diaz, we're here to talk about
- 34:41it. But when you're on the phone
- 34:43with them, ask them when that new product is going to be
- 34:45available and tell them Lance and George from the Big Mig sent
- 34:49you. They told you about the product.
- 34:51This is really cutting edge stuff.
- 34:54Nobody's doing it. I believe these guys are going
- 34:56to be the first to bring it to market, an opportunity to invest
- 34:59your IRA into crypto askets. And don't forget to tell them
- 35:03that Georgia Lance sent you. All right, let's dig in here.
- 35:07Listen, a lot of people have been running around trying to
- 35:09kiss the ring, right? We've seen Zuckerberg, we've
- 35:11seen many others. Bank of America did not treat a
- 35:15lot of conservatives very well. You guys know it.
- 35:17They cut him off. General Michael Flynn, a close
- 35:19friend of ours, one of those guys that lost a, a 20 or 30
- 35:23year banking relationship with them where he had a super high
- 35:27credit score. He had always paid all his bills
- 35:29on time. He had gotten mortgages and car
- 35:31loans and done a tremendous amount of business.
- 35:32And they just oop, no warning, no anything.
- 35:35Sorry, you're out of here with no appreciation.
- 35:37Now, the Bank of America is denying that.
- 35:39But Trump took a shot at Bank of America.
- 35:42I hope we're going to see more of this.
- 35:44I think these, these CE OS and these companies that did the
- 35:47wrong thing have to pay the consequences.
- 35:50Now, this is on Thursday. He accused the CE OS of Bank of
- 35:52America and JP Morgan Chase, which is absolutely fact.
- 35:56This is not hearsay. This is not a conspiracy theory.
- 35:59They refused to serve conservatives.
- 36:01Now both banks are denying those accusations.
- 36:04And I'm here to tell you not true.
- 36:07They absolutely. I know people first hand who
- 36:09lost their accounts there. So Trump and others in his
- 36:12orbits have repeated this in recent months.
- 36:15The accusations have roots and allegations from state attorneys
- 36:18and its state attorney generals. It's a fact and both banks deny
- 36:23it, but they but there's proof. You know, if you don't believe
- 36:25me, go look at General Michael Flynn's posting over on X and
- 36:29he's talking about it on there. The fact that it's true and he
- 36:31was one of the ones that face the consequences for standing up
- 36:34for his country, standing up for Donald Trump and trying to do
- 36:36the right thing. So, you know, I hope that people
- 36:40recognize as they pull their business, of course, you know,
- 36:43the both of these companies speaking via video, This is
- 36:46Trump. He said he was speaking via
- 36:47video to the assembly at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
- 36:51He lashed out at Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and the JP
- 36:54Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Demone as part of AQ and a session.
- 36:58He said, and this is a quote, I got a couple of them here, I
- 37:01hope you start opening your bank to conservatives because many
- 37:04conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to
- 37:07do business within the bank. And that included a place called
- 37:10Bank of America. Next, you and Jamie and
- 37:14everybody, I hope you're going to open your banks to
- 37:16conservatives because what you're doing is wrong now.
- 37:20Moynihan was among a few of the executive select that asked the
- 37:23president questions during the QA did not immediately respond
- 37:26to the accusation. Both the banks deny it.
- 37:28Basically, they said we serve more than 70 million clients, We
- 37:31welcome conservatives and no political litmus test.
- 37:35A Bank of America official stated.
- 37:36Not true. Bank of America, stop lying.
- 37:39We know the truth. So we'll see what happens here.
- 37:43You know, maybe, maybe there'll be more consequences, maybe some
- 37:45sanctions for the bank or maybe some fines.
- 37:47I'd like to see something because I think, you know, if
- 37:50you, you know, you reap what you sow in my opinion.
- 37:53And I think they need some. They need some, maybe some
- 37:56repercussions for their behavior.
- 37:59All right, look, Gold George isn't here, but I know he wants
- 38:03one of those gold prepper bars. I'm going to say to Jonathan
- 38:05Rose, George is still waiting for his gold prepper bar.
- 38:10Gold a piece of that prepper bar.
- 38:13There it is to Jingle from behind the scenes of the Global
- 38:17Finance Forum. So that lets you know that
- 38:18charge is the one still pulling the strings behind the scenes
- 38:21because that's what he does best.
- 38:22He knows how to how to work it. All right, look, question is, is
- 38:27gold a final stretch to fresh all time highs?
- 38:32Of course that's coming ahead of the of the S&P Global PMI
- 38:36release. So gold 3% gains up for grabs
- 38:41this week. We saw some gains already
- 38:44markets on our edge over the upcoming S&P Global PMI release.
- 38:48Of course, global gold is near an all time high at 2790 and
- 38:53it's set to close off the week with a firm gain.
- 38:55It appears we've seen a lot of consolidation and which and I
- 39:00believe the resistance levels of $3000 are weakening.
- 39:03There's the chart, you know, gold and silver kind of run
- 39:06parallel. So what's good for gold is good
- 39:08for silver. So, you know, the beginning of
- 39:11the week it traded at 2071. Of course, that was at the time
- 39:14of this. With this, with this information
- 39:16I researched and you know, I think with the accumulation, we
- 39:21saw India buying gold. This week we saw China buying
- 39:23gold, but Trump had a phone call with China's President Xi
- 39:27Jinping. I don't know what it was all
- 39:28about yet, but I'm sure we're going to.
- 39:30We're going to know soon. Probably tell them enough's
- 39:32enough. We're going to.
- 39:33We're going to start slamming you with some tariffs if you
- 39:35don't stop the fentanyl. I imagine that's part of it.
- 39:39But look, the economic data the US is going to receive, those
- 39:41global purchasing management index will know whether or not
- 39:45purchasing is up. The University of Michigan will
- 39:47close off the day with its consumer sentiment index for
- 39:50January. That's another big thing.
- 39:52So, you know, the Daily Digest, these market movers, you know,
- 39:56this phone call with the Prime Minister, Xi Jinping, he doesn't
- 40:00want to impose tariffs in China, but he wants some solutions for
- 40:03some of the problems. He doesn't think it's
- 40:05constructive, but he's going to do it if he doesn't get answers
- 40:07to some of his. He talked about the Federal
- 40:09Reserve and the US rates. He's affirmed they, he's going
- 40:13to demand an immediate drop in US rates to lower borrowing
- 40:16costs. I've also heard rumblings.
- 40:19OK, I heard, heard Little bird. Little birdie told me that he is
- 40:24going to put some maximum limits on bank credit card interest
- 40:28rates. Now I'm going to tell you the
- 40:30number. I heard there is no executive
- 40:32order yet. Let me emphasize, I don't want
- 40:33you guys getting all excited. Somebody out there has a hard
- 40:36tech. Oh my God, it's going to be
- 40:37amazing. Listen, we're talking about 10%
- 40:39Max on credit card rates, 10% Max.
- 40:45That would be retroactive. Imagine the impact that would
- 40:48have on credit card payments. I mean, listen, 10% interest is
- 40:51plenty. Even 15% is plenty.
- 40:53They're charging 29.99 plus penalties and this and that, and
- 40:58they're trying to push it past 30% interest you guys have seen
- 41:00in your credit cards. That's why there's such a high
- 41:02level default. People can't keep up with it.
- 41:04I don't think these credit card companies need 30% interest.
- 41:07What they need is Doja to make them more efficient.
- 41:10So he's going to order that immediate drop on interest
- 41:14rates, but which that interest rate decision could be published
- 41:18next week with the pressure he's putting on them.
- 41:20US yields are are off, you know, their weekly lows. the US 10
- 41:24year benchmark rate currently trading at 4.625, recovering
- 41:28from its poor performance early this week at 4.528.
- 41:32It's still a long way to go before it reaches the more than
- 41:34one year high. You know, that was 4.88, which
- 41:37was last week. But, you know, the technical
- 41:40analysis on gold looks good thanks to, of course, Donald
- 41:43Trump's statement from his phone call with the president, Ping Xi
- 41:46Jinping. You know, he doesn't want to
- 41:49impose those tariffs. Looks like Trump is going to
- 41:51backtrack on earlier comments made during the campaign.
- 41:53But that's only if he gets what he wants from China, which he he
- 41:56wants no more precursors. But is that going to solve
- 41:59worrying about the fentanyl crisis?
- 42:01I don't know a lot of talk about how they're producing the
- 42:03precursors now in Mexico. But of course, he's also put the
- 42:09Mexican cartels on the international terrorist list and
- 42:11on the domestic terrorist list, which allows him to take
- 42:14military action. And I don't think the terror, I
- 42:16don't think those cartel members are ready for Tier 1 operators.
- 42:20I don't think they've dealt with Tier 1 operators before.
- 42:23But if we start using special forces, they're in for a whole
- 42:25new ball game now. So look, you know, we've seen
- 42:29resistance. It's back to it's back on its
- 42:32way. I think that 2077 ninety is
- 42:34going to be, you know, gone past a lot of and and analysts and a
- 42:38lot of strategies of pencil and calls for 3000.
- 42:41But twenty 2800 is looking really good right now.
- 42:44I got to tell you, I think it's I think it's going to happen.
- 42:45I think we can count on it. And here's the prediction for
- 42:492025. This is from multiple analysts.
- 42:52This isn't just one analyst. They think gold is going to hit
- 42:553175 S. Is it a good time to jump in for
- 42:59your IRAI don't know. You got to talk to your
- 43:01financial advisors, but I think diversification as you get older
- 43:05in precious metals, it's a good way to to diversify and control
- 43:10risk. So I think everybody should own
- 43:12some precious metals. I do, George does.
- 43:14I think it's important. So we'll have to see where this
- 43:18goes. There's no, there's no definite,
- 43:20but 3175 during 2025 is the prediction by lots of analysts.
- 43:26So all right, look, let's switch it up.
- 43:28Let's talk about silver. You know, I'm, I'm a big fan of
- 43:31silver. I may be a bigger fan of silver
- 43:32than gold, not because I don't believe in both of them, but but
- 43:35I, but I think the potential upfront side for silver is even
- 43:37close. Now, you know the forecast right
- 43:41now, the bulls are eyeing $3030.98 an ounce as a breakout
- 43:46because there's a lot of momentum building.
- 43:48Silver trades is trading above $3.40.
- 43:51It's surpassed all those key moving averages and it's
- 43:53targeting that, that higher level.
- 43:56You can bring us back to the main screen, George, Key
- 43:58Technical Support levels. We've already seen those, the
- 44:00200 day moving average, $30.53. That's why it's a pivotal
- 44:05breakout zone that's really been there.
- 44:07The dollar weakness and, and obviously the Fed, Fed
- 44:10expectations, Dr. Silver's bullish outlook increasing and
- 44:13the increasing global buying interest for technical military
- 44:17applications. And you know, gold and silver,
- 44:20they're like, they're like peanut butter and Jelly.
- 44:22They just, you know, when gold's going well, silver's going well.
- 44:25One of these times, silver's going to break out past that, I
- 44:29believe at least that's an opinion I have.
- 44:31So this bullish trend, I think it's going to continue to show.
- 44:35And I, you know, like I said, gold's always rallies, always a
- 44:38bellwether for silver prices. So the next critical resistance
- 44:42level, here's the important one, is it is going to be at the high
- 44:45of $30.98. I looked at the charts that's
- 44:48we're going to start to getting past that into the 31 range.
- 44:52But I got to tell you, if it hits, if it gets past that
- 44:55$30.98, I could see anywhere from $31.81 to maybe 32, 333242
- 45:05easily because we just have to get past that resistance level.
- 45:07But the accumulation, we're getting a lot of consolidation.
- 45:10So I think that's really doable. Let's take a look at that chart
- 45:13for silver just to show what we've been looking at and where
- 45:16we're getting those resistance levels from.
- 45:18You can see the Candlestick patterns that are forming here
- 45:20on this high level on the end of the chart.
- 45:22So I think it really holds, holds well for where we're
- 45:26heading. And you can see the upward
- 45:27trend. That's what we always like to
- 45:29see with assets. You want to see it in crypto,
- 45:30you want to see it in the stock market.
- 45:32You're always going to see, you know, hills and valleys, but
- 45:33what you want to see is a general non-stop upward trend.
- 45:37Samsung technology, we've talked about it, EV batteries that's
- 45:41coming online. They're going into production
- 45:43very soon, which could be a huge demand for silver because you're
- 45:46going to require 1K of silver per EV vehicle to use those
- 45:51Samsung batteries. Those are big numbers, you know,
- 45:54so we'll see how this goes. I, I guess this, how does the
- 45:57dollar weakness impact silver? Let me give you this U.S. dollar
- 46:01slide. It's going to, of course, create
- 46:02tailwinds for silver. It's going to push it up.
- 46:04Weaker dollar always makes silver more affordable for
- 46:06international buyers. So that's driving additional
- 46:09demand because those accumulations, especially by
- 46:11governments. So the pressure on that
- 46:13greenback stems from, of course, that dovish Federal Reserve
- 46:17expectations and soft comments on tariffs from President Trump.
- 46:20But the dollar weakness, when you combine that with the
- 46:22declining Treasury yields, it's likely to sustain that momentum
- 46:26for silver, at least in the short term.
- 46:27I don't know what's going to happen long term.
- 46:29Maybe the Federal Reserve is going to start getting
- 46:31aggressive under Trump. Maybe the threat of not having a
- 46:33Federal Reserve, meaning a Federal Reserve Bank.
- 46:36Maybe they'll step up and try to figure out what they can do to
- 46:38fix that relationship. Right now, I don't think it
- 46:41bodes well for them. So we talked about a few minutes
- 46:45ago, let's switch it up here. So there's your bullion report.
- 46:49We talked about MasterCard and Visa payment solutions, but I
- 46:54got to tell you, there's a product out there that I'm not a
- 46:56big fan of. And funny, I'm not trying to be
- 46:59funny when I say that only fans, I don't think what they're doing
- 47:03is good. But how this relates to the
- 47:04financial part of our show here is that a whistle blower has
- 47:08come out. Now, this is pretty ugly for
- 47:11Visa and MasterCard, and this really could have some impact
- 47:14under this administration. Biden probably wouldn't have
- 47:16cared. I think Trump will care.
- 47:18So this whistleblower just came out and said that MasterCard and
- 47:20Visa have failed to stop payments for child sex abuse
- 47:25content on Only Fans. Number one, what is child sex
- 47:29abuse content doing on Only Fans and #2 what the hell are Visa
- 47:33and MasterCard thinking there? So they failed to stop these
- 47:36payment networks from laundering proceeds from child sexual abuse
- 47:40material and sex trafficking on the Only Fans website.
- 47:44This is what the Whistler was saying, you know, and this is a
- 47:46senior compliance expert in the credit card and banking
- 47:49industries said that the two you know, these are giant card
- 47:51companies. These are the biggest ones,
- 47:53right? The bigger than American
- 47:54Express, bigger than all of them.
- 47:56They knew their networks were being used to pay for illegal
- 47:58content on that on that porn site at least since 2021.
- 48:03And they turned a blind eye to these illicit revenues.
- 48:08I don't know what this what this is going to mean, what the
- 48:10investigation, but the of course, this complaint was filed
- 48:13in January 2023, which just come in to be public knowledge and
- 48:17that was with the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement
- 48:19Network and the US Justice and Homeland Security Department.
- 48:22The whistleblower said the complaints that the
- 48:24whistleblower and other anti trafficking experts, including
- 48:27the US federal agents alerted Visa and MasterCard to the
- 48:29unlawful content in a series of calls in 20 and 21 and and the
- 48:35and the federal agents proved and cooperated the presence of
- 48:37that child sex abuse material on only fans.
- 48:41But yet nothing happened. They didn't stop.
- 48:45Now you tell me why Visa and MasterCard think they're above
- 48:48the law. I hope there's consequences for
- 48:50this because we don't support that at all here on the big Ming
- 48:52show. I think this is this is a big
- 48:55story we're going to have to keep an eye on.
- 48:56But that whistle blower saying the agencies never didn't really
- 49:00get into as much detail as they should have and they should have
- 49:03told them flat out, if you don't stop, we're going to turn on
- 49:06we're going to turn the switch off now.
- 49:08That's what Visa and MasterCard should have done, but they
- 49:12didn't. They ignored it.
- 49:14Now when I think when illegal activity is identified and you
- 49:17don't report it and you don't stop it, you become a Co
- 49:21conspirator. So the question would be legally
- 49:23are Visa and MasterCard now Co conspirators child trafficking
- 49:28and you know, child, you know, abuse content on only fans, have
- 49:33they become part of it? And in fact, this only fans a Co
- 49:35conspirator because they're allowing this kind of content to
- 49:38continue to exist on their platform.
- 49:41I think these are important questions.
- 49:43You can't ignore this kind of stuff.
- 49:45And you have to think to yourself, why are they doing it?
- 49:49Sure, they're doing it to make money, but they have to know
- 49:51that allowing that sort of content could could mean that
- 49:55only vans could get shut down. Me personally, I would shut down
- 49:58only vans. I don't think it represents a
- 50:00product that should match the morality of a country that
- 50:06believes that God, country, family are the top priorities.
- 50:10So we'll wait and see what happened because these aren't
- 50:12just in comfortable images. These are, this is serious stuff
- 50:14here. So it's a big story.
- 50:17I can't guarantee you that there aren't going to be results.
- 50:20But let's face it, this is what Visa, MasterCard.
- 50:23Both MasterCard and Visa, they've tightened their rules
- 50:25around porn sites in recent years.
- 50:27In October 2021, MasterCard introduced stricter rules aimed
- 50:32at preventing illegal adult content on their network.
- 50:36They were prompted by the ease with which people could now
- 50:38upload content to the Internet, and of course this is their
- 50:41statement. But under those rules, merchants
- 50:44of adult content on this case only fans were required to
- 50:46verify the identity and age of people featured and obtain
- 50:49written consent from everyone depicted.
- 50:51The rules also require that porn sites to produce month monthly
- 50:55reports that flag potentially illegal content and send those
- 50:58to banks that process MasterCard payments.
- 51:02Now that interview in August that was with the with the
- 51:05Financial Times. Onlyfans founder and then CEO
- 51:07Tim Stokely said his platform was already fully compliant with
- 51:10MasterCard requirements. Appears that's not true.
- 51:14In 23 Visa also introduced stricter rules for it's high
- 51:18integrity risk merchants. This included adult related
- 51:21businesses. But but did they really?
- 51:25How could they be notified by our own government and not seem
- 51:29to take action? And I think that's the tricky
- 51:31part about this. You know, again, I think that
- 51:35that site has really promoted, you know, a level of depravity
- 51:39here in the United States that I don't know if anybody's
- 51:42comfortable with. I don't know if anybody really
- 51:43wants that to exist. Sure, the only fans content
- 51:46providers do They're, you know, they're making millions and
- 51:48millions and millions of dollars.
- 51:49But is it good for the country? Is it good for the birth rates
- 51:53that people are spending so much time looking at porn rather than
- 51:56dating and going out and, and, you know, getting into personal
- 51:59relationships with people? I think that's a tricky
- 52:02question. I don't know if I even have the
- 52:04answers, but it's, it's, it's an interesting deal.
- 52:09Now, I've got to tell you, there's a lot of news in this
- 52:11cycle here. And what I'm interested about is
- 52:15what, what do you think's next? You know, a lot of times we
- 52:18don't get the feedback. I'd like to have more feedback
- 52:19from the audience in our DMS or in our chat because I think
- 52:25there's important questions, you know, and I don't always get a
- 52:27chance to look at chat because when I'm doing the show, it's
- 52:29always, it's always a little tricky, right?
- 52:31But we'd love to know what kind of fit product you'd like to see
- 52:34on the show. You know, what, what are the
- 52:35other big stories or what kind of stuff that you guys want more
- 52:39educationally? Do we want to craft the show in
- 52:40a way that's valuable to you? So right now, I just want to
- 52:45point out the S&P is inching higher to new record high heads
- 52:50heading for the second big league game, big weekly gain,
- 52:53all because of the new Trump administration.
- 52:56I, I don't know what that's going to mean for, for where
- 52:58we're heading here, but I think it's important.
- 53:02And I think right now, even in another piece of international
- 53:05news, I don't know if you guys know this, Putin is getting
- 53:07ready. He wants to meet with Trump as
- 53:10soon as possible to discuss Ukraine, you know, and what the
- 53:15how to stop that war and also energy prices.
- 53:18So he's got concerns about it. And I think it's important when
- 53:21when, you know, Putin and Trump have always maintained a a
- 53:25respectful and professional relationship.
- 53:28So I think this is going to be an important meeting.
- 53:30When is it going to happen? I guess they're pushing for next
- 53:32week, which could mean the Ukraine war could be over very
- 53:36quickly. Now we know that, you know,
- 53:37Trump is not a fan of Zelensky, the installed puppet, but we'll
- 53:41have to see. Here's another important
- 53:43milestone. Some people are saying that that
- 53:45Bitcoin is not going to stop. You know, a lot of people think
- 53:50it has the possibility of to reach $1,000,000 of Bitcoin by
- 53:53the end of the year. Is that true?
- 53:55I don't know. We'll have to see what happens.
- 53:58We'll have to decide whether or not the markets can make sense
- 54:02of $1,000,000 Bitcoin. I'd love to hear everybody's
- 54:05input on that one. e-mail us. You can always e-mail us or DM
- 54:08us on the show. It's always important.
- 54:10So, but you know, there's a lot of stories coming up.
- 54:13Tesla, you know, they just came out with their new Model Y in
- 54:16the US. It's about 60 grand.
- 54:18I understand. It's pretty amazing.
- 54:19Again, I'm not buying into the EV thing myself.
- 54:22Not a big fan of it. I'm also concerned about what
- 54:24they're saying about EV batteries causing colon,
- 54:27prostate and anal cancer. There's been a higher incident
- 54:31rate for people that own EVs. Is it the batteries you're
- 54:33sitting on top of? I don't know, maybe pretty
- 54:37interesting, but I think one of the big, big topics right now
- 54:40that's going to affect a lot of companies in a positive way.
- 54:42It sounds like DEI is finally going to get stopped dead in its
- 54:45tracks. We know it's getting stopped
- 54:48dead in attractive levels in our government, but a lot of the CE
- 54:52OS are talking about DEI not moving forward and they're
- 54:55talking about it at Davos. They're saying that they're
- 54:57going to just, they're going to drop it now.
- 54:59Are the banks going to continue to try to hold them hostage?
- 55:02Because that's what happened, The financial institution said
- 55:04you have to have this much DEI initiative within your company
- 55:08for us to continue to lend to you.
- 55:10Are they going to pull back also?
- 55:13So I think it's I think it's I think it's pretty good.
- 55:15I think it's big news. That SEC story about the SEC
- 55:18revoking that unpopular banking rule.
- 55:20That's big news. So any of this stuff take our
- 55:22short form or our long form content.
- 55:24You can take any of it and you can definitely use it on your
- 55:27own social media or otherwise, because we want you to educate
- 55:30everybody because of course educate the country means to
- 55:32unify the country. So important stories like this
- 55:35you want to stay on top of. And I want to say this, if you
- 55:38want to learn about crypto, buy some books, head over to
- 55:42YouTube, read those books cover to cover, get involved Tons and
- 55:46tons of crypto communities on X tons and tons of crypto
- 55:49communities over on Telegram. You can find a lot of that stuff
- 55:53on there. And I think it's a great way to
- 55:54do that. It's a great way for you to, you
- 55:57know, lift your game because I know you listen, anybody can be
- 56:00stubborn. I'm not going to do that.
- 56:02I don't want to hear about that. I don't want to talk politics.
- 56:04I don't want to talk crypto. You know, you can bury your head
- 56:06in the sand and miss incredible opportunities or you can educate
- 56:11yourself because education is the number one strength for
- 56:13people. That's how you become, you know,
- 56:16so relevant. And I think it's now, listen, I
- 56:21don't know what's going to happen with the fires.
- 56:22You know, Trump is talking about visiting all the locations.
- 56:25I think. I don't know if he was in North
- 56:27Carolina today or California. I know he's planning on going to
- 56:29both. And he's talking about ending
- 56:32FEMA and I don't know what that's about.
- 56:35There's a discussion about ending FEMA and maybe having a
- 56:38different institution because he's this visit to California.
- 56:43He's got a theory on what FEMA has and hasn't been doing.
- 56:46So maybe Doge is going to remove FEMA.
- 56:49I don't know what the impact will be for people in disaster
- 56:51areas. Maybe they'll have another
- 56:52solution, but maybe a more expeditious solution.
- 56:57Because we know, you know, Newsome's out there talking
- 56:59about people in California having all their property paid
- 57:01for. But in fact, we haven't helped
- 57:04the people in Maui. We haven't helped the people in
- 57:05North Carolina. We haven't helped the people in
- 57:07Ohio or in Florida with anything more than a $750 loan.
- 57:13Doesn't seem fair to help the help the millionaires in
- 57:16California, but we're not going to help the rest of the people
- 57:18here in the United States. So maybe that's part of what
- 57:21he's talking about. All right, listen, the Global
- 57:23Finance Forum is just about out of time.
- 57:26So I just want to say a couple of things.
