Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: One of the biggest things we're going to be talking
- 0:07Speaker 1: about today is bitcoin and its future, especially of whether
- 0:11Speaker 1: or not it can make an all time high in September.
- 0:14Speaker 1: We'll give you some reasons why we think that might
- 0:16Speaker 1: happen today on the show. And of course I want
- 0:18Speaker 1: to do want to think our sponsor, and that is Coinbase.

- 0:43Speaker 1: of the most safest I think places to go, So
- 0:46Speaker 1: check it out and see what you guys think. I
- 0:47Speaker 1: want to jump to a couple of news items here
- 0:49Speaker 1: for the week. Right here, of course, is Genevieve talking
- 0:53Speaker 1: about what's up for the week. Right now, we get
- 0:55Speaker 1: a couple of things fortunate fire excuse me. The S
- 0:58Speaker 1: and P five hundred just had its best week, up
- 1:00Speaker 1: three point nine Dow is up three point nine, NASAC
- 1:03Speaker 1: sword to five point two, So nice week. All eyes
- 1:06Speaker 1: are on the FED meeting in Jackson Hole, which is
- 1:10Speaker 1: leading up to Friday. Also, the rate cut odds for
- 1:13Speaker 1: September right now hovering around seventy three percent, which is
- 1:18Speaker 1: pretty significant. Cutting rates with socks near record highs. That's
- 1:22Speaker 1: a very interesting thing. But could happen. I don't know.
- 1:25Speaker 1: We're still in a position right now where the FED
- 1:28Speaker 1: might take a look at some of the jobs reports
- 1:30Speaker 1: and the fact that we haven't seen a major slice
- 1:32Speaker 1: in inflation, disinflation continuing to occur. We could it be
- 1:39Speaker 1: a scenario where we get another pause, And if that
- 1:41Speaker 1: were to happen, I think the markets would respond pretty violently.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I do want to go to a clip because there's
- 1:47Speaker 1: a couple of things that are happening right now in
- 1:51Speaker 1: essence of what could go on in Jackson Hole. Here
- 1:55Speaker 1: is an analyst breaking it down for you. Take a look.
- 1:58Speaker 2: You know, Powell is just exceptional at that very balance.
- 2:01Speaker 2: He usually uses his Jackson Hoole speech to zoom out
- 2:04Speaker 2: a bit and give a really high level forecast for
- 2:07Speaker 2: where the economy is headed and a pretty sharp diagnosis
- 2:10Speaker 2: of the Fed's inflation fight. The challenge this year is
- 2:14Speaker 2: going to be to not only recap all of that progress,
- 2:17Speaker 2: but give as clear a signal as he's willing to
- 2:20Speaker 2: give on what we're going to expect in September.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Why do you think there's such pressure on the FED
- 2:25Speaker 3: right now about cutting rates.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Is it simply because we've seen them high for this long?
- 2:31Speaker 2: I think there are a few things going on. As
- 2:32Speaker 2: you said, rates are still very high, and they've remained
- 2:35Speaker 2: high even when we're starting to see other parts of
- 2:37Speaker 2: the economy slow down. So you'll hear FED officials talk
- 2:41Speaker 2: about this growing risk between keeping rates too high for
- 2:45Speaker 2: too long and having that come with other consequences that
- 2:48Speaker 2: you start to see the economy cooling in areas that
- 2:52Speaker 2: have been able to stay very strong. So as you
- 2:55Speaker 2: have inflation cooling and reliably cooling closer to the FEDS
- 2:59Speaker 2: target to see the job market slow, there are concerns
- 3:02Speaker 2: that eventually consumers will yank back. The trick is that
- 3:05Speaker 2: we're not really seating that in extreme terms yet, we're
- 3:08Speaker 2: not in a recession. It doesn't look like we're headed
- 3:10Speaker 2: for one. But when those things tend to get a
- 3:13Speaker 2: little bit more serious, it can happen very quickly.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I think that's the key right there, is her last statement.
- 3:20Speaker 1: If we get into a sideways position, it can go
- 3:23Speaker 1: wrong very quickly. And I think that's the concern right
- 3:27Speaker 1: now that everybody has is have we overpressed it and
- 3:31Speaker 1: has the FED maybe just held on too long here,
- 3:33Speaker 1: because remember, if they have to act reactionary, that could
- 3:36Speaker 1: be one of the worst things for the S and
- 3:39Speaker 1: P five hundred. Granted, the S and P flying gold
- 3:41Speaker 1: at an all time high, and of course even Bitcoin
- 3:44Speaker 1: still holding a significant lead over its year to day.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So I think we're still in a position right now
- 3:50Speaker 1: to be looking at this very cautiously. If you look
- 3:53Speaker 1: at Goldman Sachs, they're saying that the US recession probability
- 3:57Speaker 1: is down to twenty percent. I'm still feeling that we
- 4:01Speaker 1: are in a little bit tighter position overall. And of course,
- 4:05Speaker 1: part of this I think is going to be coming
- 4:07Speaker 1: out in the jobs numbers, and that's the real concern.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Even if they were to cut, if the job's numbers
- 4:12Speaker 1: come in very soft, that may be a little too
- 4:15Speaker 1: late for what could happen in the coming months. Goma
- 4:18Speaker 1: Sacks tweaked its outlook, though saying twenty percent is a
- 4:22Speaker 1: year from twenty five down to twenty in terms of probability.
- 4:26Speaker 1: If the August jobs report, this gets back to my
- 4:29Speaker 1: point right here is set to drop on September six,
- 4:32Speaker 1: doesn't disappoint. They might cut the potential for a recession
- 4:36Speaker 1: even further. This is the date that I think you
- 4:39Speaker 1: guys all need to put on your calendar, and that
- 4:41Speaker 1: of course is September six. This is when the job's
- 4:43Speaker 1: data comes in. This will be the one piece of
- 4:45Speaker 1: data that I think will hit the market much harder.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Now many people are looking at where could bitcoin go
- 4:51Speaker 1: from here, and I think a lot of it is
- 4:53Speaker 1: going to depend on politically what's going on. And of course,
- 4:57Speaker 1: if you look at the current political tracking, this is
- 5:01Speaker 1: over on our political tracker, Donald Trump right there, he
- 5:05Speaker 1: slid quite a bit. When Kamala Harris came into the race,
- 5:10Speaker 1: he had been sliding, but here recently has started to
- 5:13Speaker 1: pick up a little bit of steam since around the
- 5:16Speaker 1: thirteenth of August, with the Harris campaign starting to lose
- 5:20Speaker 1: steam primarily because of their lack of actually addressing the
- 5:24Speaker 1: crypto market. And of course you have RFK, which has
- 5:27Speaker 1: been falling off dramatically in huge fashion. I know that
- 5:32Speaker 1: he has been struggling with the crypto crowd, even in
- 5:35Speaker 1: the most recent he actually went over to the Cardinal conference,
- 5:38Speaker 1: So I think it's just a scenario where maybe he's
- 5:40Speaker 1: just not getting in on the right people. By the way,
- 5:42Speaker 1: if you haven't liked and subscribed this or liked and
- 5:45Speaker 1: subscribed to our videos, make sure and do that right now.

- 5:57Speaker 1: stuff I do that only goes out to the diamonds.
- 6:00Speaker 1: All you have to do is click the link down
- 6:01Speaker 1: below to join that. Very easy. Let's jump over to
- 6:05Speaker 1: Bitcoin Real Quick Institutional Investors Flood Bitcoin ETFs Q two.
- 6:09Speaker 3: This, of course, is what.
- 6:11Speaker 1: We've been seeing, and I think a lot of people
- 6:13Speaker 1: are wondering whether or not this can hold up for
- 6:15Speaker 1: the rest of the year. A lot of points within
- 6:17Speaker 1: the article that I think are interesting. One that I
- 6:20Speaker 1: wanted to focus in on was a couple right here.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Highlights of the thirteen F filings. Institutional ownership of these
- 6:26Speaker 1: ETFs grew from twenty one point four to twenty four percent.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Hedge funds holdings in these ETFs decreased a little bit
- 6:33Speaker 1: from thirty seven to thirty and then Goldman came in
- 6:37Speaker 1: and said, hey, wait a minute, We've got four and
- 6:39Speaker 1: twelve million in holdings right now in Morgan Stanley holding
- 6:42Speaker 1: one to eighty eight, So pretty significant numbers overall. And
- 6:46Speaker 1: I think this is the question when you look at
- 6:48Speaker 1: the ETFs in general, are you seeing more retail because
- 6:51Speaker 1: this is something that even myself has started to see
- 6:55Speaker 1: many people that I know, colleagues and industry types that
- 6:59Speaker 1: are saying, I want to exposure, but I want to
- 7:00Speaker 1: do it in somewhere that I'm comfortable with, usually in
- 7:04Speaker 1: my you know, exchange account or in my brokerage account.
- 7:07Speaker 1: And I think that's the big difference right now that's
- 7:10Speaker 1: rolling into the ETFs. Will this hold for the next
- 7:13Speaker 1: few months and we see, especially if we see an
- 7:15Speaker 1: all time high coming in September, that'll be interesting to watch.
- 7:19Speaker 1: But right now, if theory of metfs are struggling a
- 7:21Speaker 1: little bit. Since they're launch, they've recorded negative total inflows
- 7:26Speaker 1: primarily due to the gray scale e trust being bleeding
- 7:29Speaker 1: out cash and a similar story for the Bitcoin ETFs
- 7:32Speaker 1: except for Eth, there isn't enough demand to compensate for
- 7:35Speaker 1: the gray scale drag. That's the problem that we've been watching.
- 7:39Speaker 1: So we'll see how this plays out. Because of course,
- 7:42Speaker 1: even though Eth has been holding its own, you know,
- 7:45Speaker 1: around twenty six, So we'll see if this one continues
- 7:48Speaker 1: to track along with Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin analysts converge
- 7:52Speaker 1: on a breakout in September and are talking about an
- 7:56Speaker 1: eighty six k possibility. A couple of points that they
- 7:59Speaker 1: hint on tends Bitcoin tends to break out to the
- 8:02Speaker 1: parabolock phase in the cycle about one hundred and sixty
- 8:06Speaker 1: days after the happening. If that repeats itself, bitcoin could
- 8:08Speaker 1: just be over a month away from a breakout. So
- 8:10Speaker 1: if that were the time, then we may be nearing
- 8:14Speaker 1: if those cycles stay true, into a very interesting time
- 8:18Speaker 1: for bitcoin. Let me know what you guys think. Drop
- 8:21Speaker 1: some comments down below if you think we're going to
- 8:23Speaker 1: see a green September or not, because I think this
- 8:27Speaker 1: is the one to watch for sure. Other things I
- 8:31Speaker 1: want to hit on right here, of course, is Eleanor Tarrett.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Dems have officially released their party platform on day one
- 8:38Speaker 1: of the DNC no mention of blockchain technology. This is
- 8:42Speaker 1: happening right now, bitcoin, digital assets, or anything related to crypto.
- 8:47Speaker 1: And again we're just reaching out to Whydie Nickel right there,
- 8:49Speaker 1: one of the lead Dems that is trying to position
- 8:52Speaker 1: at least a positive spin on this. Hopefully this gets
- 8:55Speaker 1: some kind of statement during the DNC this week. If
- 9:01Speaker 1: it doesn't, this could be a very interesting situation brewing
- 9:06Speaker 1: because we may see a slide off in polymarket predictions.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Even though we saw that this weekend where we saw
- 9:13Speaker 1: Trump rise almost four percent, Kamala Harris dropped four percent.
- 9:19Speaker 1: We'll see if that continues to kind of go back
- 9:21Speaker 1: and forth on this, especially as Harris starts to release
- 9:24Speaker 1: their policy situation other things that are happening right here.
- 9:28Speaker 1: By comparison, there's the GOP party platform that is a
- 9:31Speaker 1: specific section dedicated to championing innovation, and of course that
- 9:36Speaker 1: includes crypto, AI and even space travel. But this is
- 9:40Speaker 1: the thing that is really the difference, which is why
- 9:42Speaker 1: I believe that we continue to see the Republicans be
- 9:46Speaker 1: the championing force for crypto voters. Remember, there's thirty two
- 9:51Speaker 1: million right now that we know of that are crypto
- 9:54Speaker 1: interested and willing to vote and I think that's out
- 9:57Speaker 1: of the ninety plus million that we have in the
- 9:59Speaker 1: United States that are either have held it or currently
- 10:02Speaker 1: hold crypto. This is a huge voting block that I
- 10:05Speaker 1: just don't understand why the Harris campaign has been able
- 10:08Speaker 1: to jump in. I want to go to a clip
- 10:10Speaker 1: real quick, because this clip we'll get into. Remember when
- 10:14Speaker 1: Harris was asked to come, I believe to the Bitcoin
- 10:18Speaker 1: conference and how that all played out, because that was
- 10:20Speaker 1: really when we started to see Trump's position on crypto unfold.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Take a look at this clip.
- 10:27Speaker 3: How close was Kamala actually coming to speaking at Bitcoin
- 10:30Speaker 3: twenty twenty four?
- 10:31Speaker 4: How real was that real? But I can't describe it
- 10:35Speaker 4: as close because you know, we never talked to her
- 10:38Speaker 4: directly ourselves, and there was a lot of let's say,
- 10:43Speaker 4: there's a lot of different people I think in her orbit,
- 10:47Speaker 4: and the power structure of that orbit is not clear,
- 10:50Speaker 4: Like it's not clear who's the shot caller and who's not.
- 10:53Speaker 4: But at the same time, you know, what we don't
- 10:56Speaker 4: want to do is have someone come in and deceive
- 11:00Speaker 4: our industry about their support and you know, be actively
- 11:04Speaker 4: fucking over our industry and then pretend that that's not
- 11:07Speaker 4: the case and Mia Kolpa and use that as a
- 11:11Speaker 4: platform to take away momentum from her political her political competitor.
- 11:18Speaker 4: When you know what we need is like, we need
- 11:21Speaker 4: this to be a decisive election, for this issue to
- 11:24Speaker 4: become a bipartisan and if we allow it to get
- 11:26Speaker 4: muddied with someone making kind of false claims of support
- 11:30Speaker 4: when they're like actively running the administration, I mean, she's
- 11:33Speaker 4: like in charge. What's your take on that, David?
- 11:35Speaker 1: Do you think do you think we have to pick
- 11:36Speaker 1: a side?
- 11:37Speaker 4: No, we're not picking a side. We're single issue voters.
- 11:41Speaker 4: I mean that's the thing. We're single issue voters. That's
- 11:43Speaker 4: what we care about. And if one side wants to
- 11:46Speaker 4: cater to our single issue, then they're going to win
- 11:49Speaker 4: our votes. It's that simple.
- 11:52Speaker 1: So you get to it right there, guys. I mean,
- 11:53Speaker 1: we were talking about thirty plus million single issue voters,
- 11:56Speaker 1: or at least top issue voters being digital assets. That
- 12:00Speaker 1: of course was David Bailey, who is the organizer of
- 12:03Speaker 1: the Bitcoin conference where Trump announced his strategic reserve. You had,
- 12:06Speaker 1: you know RFK there. The key is you hat a
- 12:09Speaker 1: lot of people talking about digital assets, bitcoin crypto in
- 12:12Speaker 1: general in a very positive light, and I would say
- 12:16Speaker 1: by now at this point, at the very least, I
- 12:19Speaker 1: think from the Democrats, whatever they represent or present will
- 12:24Speaker 1: be somewhat specious. I think I don't know if we
- 12:28Speaker 1: can trust anything coming out of that camp right now.
- 12:30Speaker 1: But hey, listen, there was an opportunity, and I think
- 12:33Speaker 1: they've missed it now. Is it too late? No, it's
- 12:36Speaker 1: never too late. But the fact that we've got so
- 12:38Speaker 1: much happening in DC around this that has been such
- 12:42Speaker 1: a struggle from the existing administration, I don't know. I
- 12:45Speaker 1: don't know that they're really interested in crypto or digital
- 12:48Speaker 1: assets at all, nor do I think that they even
- 12:50Speaker 1: care that there's thirty plus million voters that are interested
- 12:54Speaker 1: in this, So that in itself is a problem. Looking
- 12:57Speaker 1: at polymarket, of course, Trump took a lift and then
- 13:00Speaker 1: he is retraced slightly, still tracking slightly under the Harris campaign.
- 13:05Speaker 1: You can kind of see this little move right here.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I'll zoom in on this section right here. This was
- 13:10Speaker 1: the bump right here that happened over the weekend that
- 13:13Speaker 1: was pretty significant where you saw the drop and the lift,
- 13:18Speaker 1: and of course that all came mainly on the announcement
- 13:20Speaker 1: of many policies that the Harris campaign started to reveal,
- 13:25Speaker 1: many of which were questionable. I'll just leave them with that.
- 13:28Speaker 1: We won't go into a lot of detail on that,
- 13:30Speaker 1: but you can kind of see this is getting to
- 13:32Speaker 1: be a very tight race whether polymarket is correct, and
- 13:35Speaker 1: I think at the very last minute we will see
- 13:38Speaker 1: poly markets start to reveal a lot of things much
- 13:40Speaker 1: like what we saw in the VP probability as well.
- 13:45Speaker 1: And of course I want to go to this last clip.
- 13:47Speaker 1: This is Jake Clayton talking about what could happen if
- 13:51Speaker 1: we did see a GOP White House.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Take a look if we continue to be tech leaders, Well,
- 13:58Speaker 3: we're tech leaders. We get the benefit of growth around
- 14:00Speaker 3: the globe. We only have three hundred and sixty million people.
- 14:02Speaker 3: There's eight billion people in the world. When they get
- 14:04Speaker 3: hooked in to a digital economy, we all benefit greatly.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Capital allocation. We're better at allocating capital than anybody else
- 14:13Speaker 3: in the world. Four percent of the world population. We
- 14:15Speaker 3: allocate over fifty percent of the world. Trump focus on
- 14:18Speaker 3: those things and competence in government. That's how you get
- 14:21Speaker 3: real growth. That's how you get real wage growth for
- 14:24Speaker 3: the people in the middle eighty percent of the economy.
- 14:27Speaker 3: I want this idea that you're going to go out
- 14:29Speaker 3: and sort of say some prices are good and some
- 14:31Speaker 3: prices are right.
- 14:32Speaker 4: It's lunacy.
- 14:33Speaker 5: If you could unequivocally say Donald Trump would be one
- 14:37Speaker 5: hundred and eighty degrees from Lena Khan in the Body
- 14:41Speaker 5: administration on any trust that might be something you could sell,
- 14:45Speaker 5: but you can't say that. You don't know what his
- 14:46Speaker 5: inn trust stance would be. And JD. Vans are some
- 14:50Speaker 5: people that say he's said friendly things.
- 14:52Speaker 3: About I think it's pretty clear that if you go
- 14:55Speaker 3: back to twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, the approach to
- 15:00Speaker 3: regulation in the US was more pro growth than it
- 15:03Speaker 3: is today.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that is the point. You just
- 15:07Speaker 1: have to look at the past administration and what their
- 15:10Speaker 1: performance was and everybody to at least a lot of
- 15:13Speaker 1: the research that we've done and seen is that it
- 15:15Speaker 1: is still people remember pre COVID, They remember what was
- 15:19Speaker 1: going on in the country under that administration. I think
- 15:23Speaker 1: this is the real question mark, because if you don't
- 15:25Speaker 1: have that occur, what would the United States look like?
- 15:29Speaker 1: Taking a quick look at the bitcoin chart right now,
- 15:32Speaker 1: of course, sentiment overall is starting trend slightly up as
- 15:35Speaker 1: Bitcoin's getting a green candle today, covering off that fifty
- 15:40Speaker 1: was nice around fifty seven to nine. Holding what we
- 15:43Speaker 1: see right now here at about fifty nine to three.
- 15:46Speaker 1: If we see that continue to hold ethereum holding in
- 15:50Speaker 1: around the twenty six hundred after a dip over the
- 15:52Speaker 1: weekend and now retracing a little bit, but still showing
- 15:55Speaker 1: a little bit of a negative sentiment overall. We're going
- 15:58Speaker 1: to continue to track this this week. We'll keep a
- 16:00Speaker 1: close eye on what's happening in Jackson Hole. We'll give
- 16:03Speaker 1: you guys an analysis as well this week on some
- 16:06Speaker 1: of the additional projects that we're tracking from a channel standpoint. Obviously,
- 16:11Speaker 1: if you're not following me out there on X make
- 16:14Speaker 1: sure and do that. It's a great place to catch
- 16:16Speaker 1: other things that I'm talking about and doing, and of
- 16:19Speaker 1: course we'll catch you next time right here on tech
- 16:22Speaker 1: Maath
