- 1:48on? Man, you got like you, you, you,
- 1:50you look a little styled up here today.
- 1:51I don't know what's different. Is there something different
- 1:53here, bro? Am I missing something?
- 1:55No, I just got a sweater on it. I don't know.
- 1:58At least the sweater that's giving you like a little more je
- 2:00NE sais quoi there, buddy. I don't know.
- 2:02How was your holiday man? It was peaceful.
- 2:05It was peaceful. I stayed home alone.
- 2:08I sent my mother, my sister, my brother out to the other family.
- 2:11I cooked on a day for them to take the food up and that was
- 2:13it. I'm done.
- 2:15Yeah, yeah, you have kind of easy, but you guys also do the
- 2:17the, the Christmas Eve thing, right?
- 2:19Don't you have a Christmas Eve kind of a meal with your family?
- 2:21Yeah, so you did that. You just didn't do the full
- 2:24blown family Christmas Day. Because usually I'd be working.
- 2:27They make me work, not make. Well, they don't make me work,
- 2:30but I can't just sit there because everybody else is lazy.
- 2:34You know, a couple cousins will help out and it's just.
- 2:36We'll totally get that before we fire up today's show.
- 2:39We got a lot of great stuff for you.
- 2:41As usual, this will be your financial weekly roundup.
- 2:43We try to get all the details. A little bit of a different week
- 2:46because you know, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, not as much
- 2:48activity, but there are a lot of, there is a lot of news and a
- 2:50lot of interesting stuff going on.
- 2:52Now listen, your bank account could be gone, you know, by
- 2:55morning. Here's why this isn't a crazy
- 2:56conspiracy. It's about to happen.
- 2:58Of course, you guys all know the digital dollar is coming.
- 3:00And with that, the government gains total control over your
- 3:03money. But it gets worse.
- 3:05Countries are hacking into our financial systems right now,
- 3:07crippling the US dollar in a way it'll make your accounts vanish.
- 3:11This is not, again, some conspiracy theory.
- 3:13You can go Google it and go go on Brave or any other platform
- 3:16and look. But of course, frozen, wiped out
- 3:18monitor control. That doesn't sound very good in
- 3:20the government solution. More control, more surveillance,
- 3:24more, less freedom. You know that neither George or
- 3:26I like that at all. But here's what they won't tell
- 3:28you. You can still protect yourself.
- 3:30Prepper bars and stacking bullion are your escape.
- 3:34These are real, tangible forms of wealth.
- 3:36Gold and silver. You can hold trade and trust.
- 3:39No government can seize it. No hacker can steal it.
- 3:42This is the way to stop the ticking time bomb.
- 3:46You need to act now to secure your pepper bars before the
- 3:49government rolls out their next move.
- 3:50They've got them in stock right now in gold and silver.
- 3:52We checked before the show because we wanted to make sure
- 3:54before we ran, ran this promotion for, of course,
- 3:57Genesis Gold Group. And of course, right now they're

- 4:14off on the silver prepper bar and 5% off on the gold prepper
- 4:18bar. So there's still time before the
- 4:20end of the year. Take advantage of that great
- 4:21opportunity. Don't wait until your money is
- 4:23worthless. You always want to have a backup

- 4:49George, if you will, and I'll tell you like I'll say once you
- 4:52get it, I'll say break me off a piece of that prep a bar.
- 4:56Why not? Can I can?
- 4:58Can George live a little bit? Exactly.
- 5:01George needs a little bit of that gold prepper.
- 5:03So of course, you know, Jacob Diaz and Jonathan Rose had some
- 5:06stuff they had to do. They had family stuff they
- 5:08committed to. I guess these guys get a full
- 5:10week off, crazy, full week off over there.
- 5:14Genesis Gold Group. I love what these guys do
- 5:16though. I appreciate both of them.
- 5:17They've been great, Super helpful to our show.
- 5:20All right, look, go ahead. Further, I got a Yeah, my, my
- 5:24personal assistant, our brother in arms, Rich Esparza is back.
- 5:28He's in the chat right now. We just want to welcome him.
- 5:30Wow. You know Merry.
- 5:31Christmas Rich, nice to see you. You sent me a Christmas.
- 5:34I meant to send you one. I hope things are going well for
- 5:36you and your family. Kind of got the slack yesterday.
- 5:38My daughter's in town and my mom and my, you know, we had a lot
- 5:41going on. It was a little overwhelming.
- 5:43So we were doing a lot of running around too.
- 5:45We went to some other people's house for Christmas dinner and
- 5:48then came back and did another dinner here.
- 5:49So we had a lot of stuff going on.
- 5:51Well, man. We missed Rich, so yeah.
- 5:54Yeah, for sure. He's always great.
- 5:55We appreciate everything he does for us.
- 5:56So, OK, so here we go. You guys have been hearing
- 5:59about, you know, and people have been joking about let's make
- 6:02Canada great again, you know, let's make Greenland great
- 6:04again, you know, and some other things.
- 6:06Trump's been inferring that he's going to take back the Panama
- 6:09Canal maybe. And I think he probably should
- 6:11based on what they've been doing with it.
- 6:12And basically they just turned it right over to the Chinese.
- 6:15Not great, really dangerous for us because it would really limit
- 6:18a lot of our import export if in fact, the Chinese decided to
- 6:21shut down the use of the Panama Canal to the US.
- 6:24I'm not saying they're going to, but there, there's a lot of
- 6:27concern there. But I'll tell you what's a big
- 6:28story that's really starting to gain some traction.
- 6:32He he joked around Trump about making Canada an additional part
- 6:38of the United States. Well, all of a sudden, this
- 6:40thing is really starting to take off.
- 6:42As you guys know Kevin O'Leary, you know him from Shark Tank.
- 6:45Canadian businessman. He's expressed interest in
- 6:48discussing the idea of merging the Canadian US economies.
- 6:51He plans to engage in talks at Mar a Lago, suggesting that
- 6:55about half of the Canadians might support such a union,
- 6:57which I think is great. This includes considerations for
- 7:00a common currency, eliminating border restrictions and
- 7:04addressing resource security amidst discussions of Canada's
- 7:08political instability. Nobody likes Trudeau.
- 7:11The Canadian people don't like him.
- 7:12I'm surprised, of course. I'm sure he cheated to get
- 7:15reinstalled, but George, what do you think?
- 7:18Make Canada great again? Are we ready?
- 7:20I was just going to say that you took the words out of my mouth.
- 7:22Damn I took a look. I took your line bro I hate when
- 7:24I did. I just tagged your line.
- 7:26That's all right. I'm used to you doing that
- 7:27stuff. But how about this?
- 7:28How about make Canada part of the US and it will be great
- 7:36again. I think they've got the largest
- 7:38fresh water supply in the world. If I'm not.
- 7:41Mistaken. They got the pipeline they got.
- 7:42Incredible natural resources. I love the Canadian people
- 7:45without Trudeau. I think they're great people.
- 7:47They're great, you know, great culture.
- 7:50You got to love Montreal and the nightlife there.
- 7:52I'm all about it. I say let's rock'n'roll baby,
- 7:55let's make it 1. Big North American union right
- 7:57there. Although some people like
- 7:59Canadian bacon, I do not. That's I'm.
- 8:01Not I like Canadian bacon. I like it well.
- 8:03I I do know my. Wife likes Canadian.
- 8:04Bacon. I like US bacon.
- 8:06You know, it's interesting, my wife said that when she grew up
- 8:08in Africa. The bacon, the bacon, The long
- 8:11strip bacon comes with the Canadian bacon attached to it,
- 8:14so it's like a double bacon whammy.
- 8:16Rich is going to like that one, yeah.
- 8:19I mean, it's pretty cool. I just.
- 8:20It's not like I don't hate it, I just prefer the regular our
- 8:23bacon or Canadian bacon I. Don't know why, of course.
- 8:26All right, let's play this clip. This is Kevin O'Leary talking
- 8:29about it. I don't think Trudeau likes the
- 8:30idea because he could be out of a job.
- 8:32If that happens, let's rock and. Roll Trudeau's on his way out.
- 8:34There's no confidence in him no more.
- 8:36He's done. Yeah, he's gone.
- 8:39I think he's the love child of Fidel Castro anyway.
- 8:42I think there's a story there. A lot of people think that's
- 8:44true, yeah. Wonder what would be next for
- 8:47him? Because he's young, you know who
- 8:49knows? Who cares?
- 8:49What's next for him? I don't know.
- 8:51He could probably get a job at a fast food restaurant.
- 8:53You. Don't need to, he got so much
- 8:55money embezzled off of Canada and everything else so.
- 8:57Yeah, no kidding all. Right, let's play it.
- 8:59There's 41 million Canadians, basically the population of
- 9:02California, sitting on the world's largest amounts of all
- 9:06resources, including the most important energy and water.
- 9:10Canadians over the holidays, the last two days have been talking
- 9:13about this. They want to hear more.
- 9:16And so, you know, there's obviously a lot of issues, more
- 9:18details, but what this could be is the beginning of an economic
- 9:21union. Think about the power of
- 9:23combining the two economies, erasing the border between
- 9:25Canada and the United States and putting all that resource up to
- 9:29the northern borders where China and Russia are knocking on the
- 9:33door. So secure that, give a common
- 9:35currency, figure out taxes across the board, get everything
- 9:39trading both ways, create a new almost EU like passport.
- 9:44I like this idea and at least half of Canadians are
- 9:47interested. The problem is the government's
- 9:50collapsing in Canada right now. Nobody wants Trudeau to
- 9:53negotiate this deal. I don't want him doing it for
- 9:55me. So I'm going to go to Mar a
- 9:57Lago. I'll start the narrative.
- 9:59The 41 million Canadians, I think most of them would trust
- 10:01me on this deal. You know what?
- 10:04I'm interesting. You know what?
- 10:05I'd like to see Kevin O'Leary, AKA Mr. Wonderful in a debate.
- 10:11But you know who on the Shark Tank?
- 10:13I don't like Mark something. What the hell is his?
- 10:16Name Mark Mark Big Mouth Cuban. Yes, Mark Cuban, Because, you
- 10:20know, they're like total opposites when it comes to
- 10:24what's going on. You know, O'leary's more of a
- 10:27conservative. He's talking about tax cuts.
- 10:30I know that's got the Canadians interested and maybe Canada
- 10:32potentially 51st state. We'd love to hear what you have
- 10:35to say. Put it down in the chat or
- 10:36direct message to George and I on X.
- 10:39We love when you guys do that. You can always send us Adm and
- 10:42tell us what are your thoughts. We want to have some of that
- 10:44because we love to get snapshots of that.
- 10:45Put it on the show. We're going to be doing some
- 10:47more of that, engaging with the audience a little higher level.
- 10:50We got some great stuff too. Don't forget tonight Enoch is
- 10:53going to join the regular Big Mink show.
- 10:54Do not forget that Enoch. And if you guys know him, he's
- 10:57got a big following, interesting character.
- 10:58Enoch has a lot of good. News A lot of people know him by
- 11:01Enoch's News Blast. Yeah, yeah, of course, of
- 11:03course. But he's going to be joining us
- 11:05tonight on the Regular Show. So don't forget and don't forget
- 11:07on you want to be paying attention because on Monday
- 11:11we've got a great show. We've got a member of Delta
- 11:14Force joining us. That's an interesting.
- 11:16You can check it out. I'll be posting again.
- 11:18I'd made a mistake. I thought it was last Monday.
- 11:20I was so excited about the interview.
- 11:21This guy's really interesting, served in a lot of different
- 11:24ways in our military special OPS and I think you guys are going
- 11:27to want to hear what he has to say.
- 11:29Definitely a Shawn Ryan esque style of interview.
- 11:32Going to be really interesting. Lots of great content.
- 11:35He's got a lot of thoughts and a lot of knowledge about what's
- 11:37going on inside our military currently, so don't miss.
- 11:40Go. What do we got?
- 11:42Bully on the borders, baby. Your wrap up for the week.
- 11:45Let's talk about Russia and what they did.
- 11:47George, tell me about this Bitcoin in Russia.
- 11:50This is a big story, man. It is because Russia is trying
- 11:55to circumvent, you know, like sanctions and stuff like that.
- 11:58And what do they do? They incorporated Bitcoin and
- 12:02for international transactions. I mean, listen, it's a smart
- 12:06move. Kudos to Putin for doing it, but
- 12:10he's by he's just bypassing all the financial sanctions by doing
- 12:13this. I mean, if I, if it was my
- 12:15country, I would do the same thing.
- 12:17Why not? You know, he what you know, if
- 12:20you look at Putin and Russia, they were like, they weren't so
- 12:22much for Bitcoin, but now guess what they are.
- 12:26What's it going to do? Is it going to drive Bitcoin up?
- 12:28Is it going to hurt it? This is the questions.
- 12:30But you know, let's let's face it, Russia's, they've been
- 12:33experiencing difficulties in trade with his main partners,
- 12:36you know, with China, Turkey from all these sanctions, right?
- 12:41But if you got to circumvent them, do what's best for your
- 12:45country, can't be mad at them. But like, you know, I look at
- 12:49this now. Will America try to put more
- 12:52like regulations on crypto and Bitcoin kind of stop Russia?
- 12:57This is the question like I look at it like.
- 13:00Well, here's what I'll tell you, Russians finance manager, you
- 13:03know, his name is Anton Silanov, Sila Sila Salut.
- 13:06I know. I believe it's how you pronounce
- 13:08it. Might have butchered that.
- 13:09He's always been a little pro crypto.
- 13:11He's believed in it because he always thought it was a great
- 13:13tool to evade, you know, financial sanctions.
- 13:18They made concerns over the impact on global financial
- 13:20systems and the dominance of the US dollar.
- 13:22We know that's why they've been looking at bricks.
- 13:24This is just another step to make sure that the US can't use
- 13:28the power of their sanctions to control different governments
- 13:31around the globe. And that's really one of the
- 13:33issues that all the BRICS nations have.
- 13:35They don't like when these different countries, when the US
- 13:40uses its sanctions to facilitate manipulation of the governments
- 13:45that are in play. We know that Russia experienced
- 13:48a lot of difficulties with trade with a lot of its with its main
- 13:51partners in China and Turkey due to all those impositions of
- 13:54those economic sanctions. So banks in those countries are
- 13:57being cautioned about conducting transactions to avoid attention
- 14:00from western regulators. So they have to kind of run
- 14:02under the radar because if they get up and they're doing
- 14:04business with some of the countries that are on the list,
- 14:07of course, here come the sanctions, next thing they've
- 14:08got a problem. So being able to make payments,
- 14:11cross-border payments in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or
- 14:14Ethereum or XRP, it's a great, great opportunity for this
- 14:17country to avoid and evade what the US is trying to do to
- 14:21control them. Let me give you one of the
- 14:22quotes by Silanov. As part of the experimental
- 14:26regime, it is possible to use the bitcoins we have mined here
- 14:29in Russia. Such transactions are already
- 14:31taking place. We believe that they should be
- 14:33expanded and developed further. I'm confident that this will
- 14:36happen next year. You know, the Bitcoin mining in
- 14:39Russia is kind of a big deal there.
- 14:41In China, you know, there's where a lot of the Bitcoin
- 14:43mining is going on. They've built up a reserve.
- 14:45I wouldn't be surprised also find out that they're going to
- 14:47continue because they do own some Bitcoin.
- 14:50The Russians, they've been kind of DL about it, but I did some
- 14:52research and they do own some and I wouldn't be so surprised
- 14:55to see them acquire more. So that could mean that
- 14:59Bitcoin's going to get bigger and bigger.
- 15:01I don't know. What do you think, George?
- 15:02Is Bitcoin going to get more? Are more countries going to be
- 15:05acquiring Bitcoin like we've heard?
- 15:07We see corporations. Rumble just did it.
- 15:09We're on Rumble right now. Chris is doubling down on
- 15:12Bitcoin, $20 million investment. And now Tether gave Rumble a
- 15:15$775,000,000 investment. I think we're going to see more
- 15:19of corporate America jumping all the way in on on crypto.
- 15:22I prefer Rumble and on other countries to invest in XRP.
- 15:27That's just me. I think XRP has got a stronger
- 15:30holding and and for the long run it's good.
- 15:33But you know, Lance, this just brings us to our next story with
- 15:36Bitcoin because it's ironic that Bitcoin sees 14 billion, 14
- 15:41billion in options expire. What is going on?
- 15:46I don't this this is like is it? I mean, I don't understand how
- 15:50they let the auction options expire.
- 15:52I don't know if it's good or bad thing, but you know, it
- 15:55represented a watershed moment in the cryptocurrency industry.
- 16:00I mean, yeah, that could generate a lot of market tremors
- 16:02or a lot of market instability. Yeah, I think it's so for some
- 16:05of the audience that may not understand options, they'll just
- 16:06give you options. They're contracts that enable
- 16:08investors to buy, call or sell, which are so call options, you
- 16:12know, buy options or calls and sell options or puts.
- 16:15So Bitcoin at a predetermined price before it expires.
- 16:18And that, you know, the, the, the size of this expiration
- 16:21event raises a lot of concerns about Bitcoin.
- 16:23Short term price direction, higher volatility is expected as
- 16:26traders adjust, you know, are going to adjust their positions.
- 16:29That's just normal. You have to you have to think
- 16:31about that. And there's a lot of key data
- 16:33from the exchanges about the put to call ratio for expiring
- 16:36options. It's right now it's sitting
- 16:38about 0.69. Of course, that suggests
- 16:41predominance of call options, indicating a bullish sentiment.
- 16:44So a lot of those options are clustered around that $100,000
- 16:47strike price. We know that Bitcoin just went
- 16:49past that, you know, and it's been it's been going from like
- 16:5196,000 all the way up, I think to 108 or 109, indicating a lot
- 16:56of traders expect Bitcoin's price to continue to rise.
- 16:59So and that's not surprising. But of course, when you, when
- 17:02you, when you take a a loss of 14 billion on those options, on
- 17:06those execution prices, that's a big deal.
- 17:08And I think stablecoin dominance recovers, you know, and market
- 17:12commentators have raised a lot of risk as far as the price
- 17:14corrections on Bitcoin. We're seeing that I think the
- 17:18big stuff that's going on in the cryptocurrency.
- 17:20And I and I think when you start talking about things like this,
- 17:22which that phenomenon we just described, that's called Max
- 17:25Payne for people. I don't know if you've heard
- 17:27that term before, but it's a big deal.
- 17:30So when you see large scale expirations like that, you have
- 17:32to start looking at the crypto market and saying wow, there are
- 17:35some very heavily invested big institutions in Bitcoin,
- 17:40Ethereum. I also see a lot of accumulation
- 17:42and a lot of, you know, I would say market and community pump on
- 17:48XRP. Everybody's talking about the
- 17:50utility XRP, they're talking about the use, they're talking
- 17:53about the new XRPRLSUD, which is a big deal.
- 17:57I think you have to proceed with caution, but I think if you
- 17:59don't get on top of the crypto market and you don't start
- 18:02educating yourself because it's like they're learning a new
- 18:04language. George and I have been deeply
- 18:06entrenched in it because of course, you know, we have the
- 18:08new show coming up very soon, the Crypto Power Hour that is
- 18:12also going to be on Rumble. We're hoping to maybe partner in
- 18:16a bigger way with Rumble. We'll let you know as that moves
- 18:18along. It might be an opportunity, but
- 18:19the point is that that what we're seeing is a lot of that
- 18:23where the markets, if you look at the media, there's a lot of
- 18:26push on gaming and crypto, but you have to realize it's a young
- 18:30man's industry at this point. Most people that are into
- 18:32gaming, George and I, I know George, you're not really a
- 18:34gamer, right? You never really did any gaming,
- 18:36did you? When I was a kid, I had Atari.
- 18:39Yeah, yeah, but I you know the old gaming stuff, but I'm saying
- 18:42the new stuff, you know the new. GTA.
- 18:45And you know so. Let me rephrase.
- 18:47So I was busy living life, having a good time, working,
- 18:50going out, partying and all that instead of being by myself
- 18:53playing a video game and talking to other people.
- 18:55It just wasn't my thing. I don't know but but I was good
- 19:00at Atari back then. Yeah, well, I did a lot of the
- 19:03the studio gaming, you know, you went a lot and you paid
- 19:05Centipede and Asteroids. Those were those weren't
- 19:07initially in home and then they came in home.
- 19:09They started to generate at home.
- 19:11But joystick? Atari joystick with the red
- 19:13button. No doubt.
- 19:14But here's the deal. You know, you look at somebody
- 19:17like Elon Musk, younger guy, he's really into Fortnite as an
- 19:20example. The gaming thing's going to be
- 19:21big, but the crypto media thing is going to be colossal.
- 19:25We've done a lot of analysis. We've talked to Rumble about it.
- 19:27We've talked to some other institutions about it.
- 19:29We've talked to some people that are building new platforms that
- 19:32are going to be available soon. The big push is quality, you
- 19:36know, flagship crypto shows and that's the plan with the crypto
- 19:40power out. That's what we'll be doing.
- 19:41We'll be talking about that more, but you have to look at it
- 19:43in summary to what we're talking about this $14 billion Bitcoin
- 19:46options expiration that really demonstrates the import, the
- 19:50growing importance and I think it's going to be huge of
- 19:52derivatives in the cryptocurrency industry.
- 19:54Those derivatives are going to become more and more important.
- 19:56They're going to be more and more relevant.
- 19:58It's just like the the Efts and everything else that's coming up
- 20:01in short term contracts and intercountry transactional
- 20:05because what we're seeing is that SWIFT system is going to be
- 20:07replaced by crypto really. If you you should do some, I'm
- 20:10going to give you something. I'll give you guys some
- 20:11homework. I want you to Google ISO 20022
- 20:17and look at the coins that are approved for that vertical and
- 20:20study what ISO's going to do because it's really a kind of a
- 20:23replacement system. Of course, it's going to run in
- 20:26joint to begin with, but you're talking about the SWIFT system.
- 20:28ISO's going to be the future. And when you look at the coins
- 20:32that are in there, Bitcoin and Ethereum are not in the ISO
- 20:3420022 initiative. You've got algo algo, which is
- 20:39Algorand. You've got H bar, which is
- 20:40heteroh, you know, H graph. You've got XLMXDCXRP, which of
- 20:46course is a Ripple coin, you know, and you've got MI OTA.
- 20:49So you're looking at a much, much very specific group.
- 20:53And I think all those are a great opportunity.
- 20:54And remember on this show, nothing we tell you is financial
- 20:57advice. Everything we're just telling
- 20:58you is information. We won't because we always
- 21:00promote you guys educating yourself, whether you're on the
- 21:03regular show at the Big Make or you're over here at the Global
- 21:05Finance Forum. And we'll do the same thing over
- 21:07at the Crypto Power Hour. We're always going to tell you
- 21:09to talk to your financial advisors and move from there.
- 21:11So George, I think that, you know, people have to educate
- 21:13themselves moving forward. I don't think you can just
- 21:16expect, Oh well, the dollar is going to be OK.
- 21:17Now we're going to have a digital currency.
- 21:19They aren't going to produce the dollar.
- 21:20Hopefully we're going to get rid of the Federal Reserve is what
- 21:22I'm hoping. I'm hoping Rand Paul will
- 21:24influence Donald Trump and Ron Paul to dump and the Fed baby
- 21:28and the Fed George Go. So yeah, 100% and the Fed, it's
- 21:31inevitable that we will be going to digital currency.
- 21:34It's a matter of when. But here here's as much as a lot
- 21:38of people are against it and let's face it, if we didn't have
- 21:40to, I'd be, you know, we don't use it, but we're going to.
- 21:43That's where we're going. So if the good guys can get
- 21:45ahead of it and actually have influence in it, we can kind of
- 21:50get, you know, keep the bad people from taking over with it.
- 21:54That's the goal right now. That's our goal.
- 21:56That's a goal with our other partners, Solon Global.
- 22:01So, you know, it's a work in progress and and that's, that's
- 22:05the end game right there. And, and you guys heard their
- 22:08announcement last week, Solon Global is expanding their
- 22:11offerings for conversion into IRA and, and as far as I know.
- 22:14That's Genesis gold. Genesis Gold.
- 22:17Yeah, I'm sorry, not so long. Gold.
- 22:18Genesis Gold. You're right.
- 22:19Genesis Gold Group, you heard the announcement last week.
- 22:21They've got a new product that's that they've already gone
- 22:25through all the legal regulation that you're going to be able to
- 22:28invest your IRA money and crypto in a safe and secure system.
- 22:33They're teaming up with a company and they're they've got
- 22:35a great, great organized plan moving forward.
- 22:39We're going to be talking about that more and more.
- 22:41But it's a way for you to get into the crypto market without
- 22:43having to manage it yourself. You can hire them to do it.
- 22:46They're using AI to get the highest rate of returns they
- 22:49possibly can. It's going to be an amazing
- 22:51product they've already got to put together.
- 22:52They think they're going to be rolling out in the next 2-3
- 22:54weeks, so it's definitely worth checking.
- 22:56This is not an infomercial. It's a great way for you to
- 22:59invest without having to manage it yourself and get an
- 23:02opportunity to have some exposure to crypto because let's
- 23:05face it, you know, had you invested in Bitcoin, your IRA
- 23:07would be looking super sweet right now.
- 23:09Had you invested in Theorem and if you invested in XRP.
- 23:12Now, I think in the beginning, George, if I'm not wrong and you
- 23:14tell me they're only going to be doing Ethereum and Bitcoin, am I
- 23:17right about that? Those are the only two that are
- 23:19going to be. Offered to begin with, I believe
- 23:20so. And this is not operational yet.
- 23:22It'll be sometime in January. But yeah, on a conservative
- 23:26side, the average return, this is conservative is 60% on, on,
- 23:32on, on that. So wow, that is huge.
- 23:35That's where like, you know this, you know, develop the
- 23:38right programs, algorithms and software, I mean.
- 23:42And Donald Trump has been talking about excluding to
- 23:46taxation, you know, the primary coins.
- 23:50So I think that's going to include the ISO 20022 coins,
- 23:53maybe Bitcoin and Ethereum again.
- 23:55You know what's going to happen. Hold on.
- 23:57So by him doing that, you know what they're doing?
- 23:59They're pushing everything to the digital currency.
- 24:02Of course, but why wouldn't people want their wealth to grow
- 24:05tax free? Yeah.
- 24:07I mean, it makes total sense, right?
- 24:09Yeah, I mean. You know, so if you, I don't
- 24:12want to pay taxes, yeah. Who does?
- 24:14I mean, especially the way they waste the money.
- 24:16It's it's brutal. All right, let's let's switch
- 24:18gears here a little bit. If you guys are paying, we
- 24:20always want to talk about some of the currencies.
- 24:22You know on this show, we're going to cover some bullion,
- 24:23we're going to cover currencies we're going to cover crypto,
- 24:26Wall Street and whatever other topics are matter, including
- 24:28global government decisions and affect your finances.
- 24:31George, I'm. Sorry, I wanted to bring up
- 24:32something before we step into the next release.
- 24:35So if you all look at this year, so you look at Bitcoin, you
- 24:38remember when it was like hitting 60,065 thousand for a
- 24:43while, then it dropped to 30,000, everybody thought it was
- 24:45going to tank and. It actually dropped to 16 at one
- 24:48point. Yeah, so and look at it now, it
- 24:50hit over 100. You know, it's fluctuating
- 24:52between high 90s, mid 90s to in the hundreds.
- 24:56But I mean, it's here to stay. Well, here's an interesting
- 24:59observation. There are only 21 million
- 25:02bitcoins, but that's based on the total amount that were
- 25:05printed. That is not based on what's
- 25:07available because even the the, the wallet Satoshi Nakamoto is
- 25:11still in control of, you know, we covered that on the regular
- 25:13show. If you want to hear who we think
- 25:15it's Paul LaRue is, who we think Satoshi Nakamoto is, there's a
- 25:19lot of compelling evidence. Of course, that wallet and that
- 25:22e-mail went dead right when Paula Rue got indicted by the
- 25:26federal government here in the US.
- 25:28He's now being held here in the prison system here, although it
- 25:30doesn't indicate what prison he's in.
- 25:33That seems to often change. I think it probably means that
- 25:35he's cooperated or working with the US government.
- 25:38But here's the point. That wallet holds 111 or $112
- 25:42billion in Bitcoin. If that wallet never comes back
- 25:46to be, that means there's less Bitcoin than people think.
- 25:48You've also got that gentleman that made a mistake and threw
- 25:50his wallet into a landfill, into the trash.
- 25:53It ended up in a landfill. That wallet I think is worth
- 25:56somewhere in the neighborhood of seven or 800 million now.
- 26:00And he can't get access. The city that owns the landfill
- 26:02doesn't seem to be motivated. And I don't know if I've got the
- 26:04numbers right, but he lost that wallet.
- 26:06So anytime you lose control of your wallet, that's why one of
- 26:08the most important things for the audience is learn you know
- 26:11how to control your your crypto. So if you've got an active
- 26:14wallet, that's your trading wallet you may have.
- 26:16And I can tell you this that George and I have multiple
- 26:17wallets because that's the way this stuff works.
- 26:20One wallet is not enough. And then of course, you've got
- 26:22to have a cold storage wallet, that's what.
- 26:25He lost his cold storage wallet, right?
- 26:28Well, Satoshi, we don't know what.
- 26:29He no the guy in the landfill. Yeah, that guy actually didn't
- 26:32have a cold storage wallet. He had all the information on a
- 26:35hard drive because cold storage wallets weren't even available
- 26:38in that period. Now you've got a cold storage
- 26:40wallet, but you've got to keep your seed phrase, which is your
- 26:43password. And those seed phrases.
- 26:45Let me be clear to the audience, you cannot recover those if you
- 26:48lose them. So you have to have redundancy
- 26:51in how you have them stored. You sure don't want to store it
- 26:52all on your computer, but that's why they come up with cold
- 26:55storage wallets like the Ella Pal wallet as example.
- 26:58And for the audience, we're trying, we're going to try to
- 27:00set up a meeting with Ella Pal. We've got an idea that we want
- 27:03to do some kind of partnership with them where you guys can get
- 27:05a discount on the Ella Pal cold storage wallet comes with, you
- 27:08can get these little hard metal seed phrase cards.
- 27:11And so we'll be talking about that further.
- 27:13Hopefully that's going to go, but we want to cover some
- 27:15currency stuff. I don't know if you guys have
- 27:16seen this. Always the LFL wallet would go
- 27:19great with my quarter Bitcoin from from Genesis.
- 27:24Yeah, Yeah, that those, those good.
- 27:25They're like peanut butter and Jelly right there.
- 27:28Bitcoin and cold storage. OK.
- 27:30So look, currency, euro, you guys always watch the euro, it
- 27:33usually sits a little stronger than the dollar, but you've seen
- 27:35the destabilization in, in, in what's going on in Europe.
- 27:40But so euro dollar sitting what, what I would consider pretty,
- 27:44you know, pretty good compared with the, with the future of the
- 27:46dollars. It's sitting at dollar four to
- 27:48the dollar. So you're getting a dollar four.
- 27:50You have to give in the US dollar to match €1.00.
- 27:52But that's, I think the, I think the control is heading into 2025
- 27:56and I think the dollar is going to be the bull.
- 27:58That's a flat line from the euro, which is kind of not
- 28:02normal as you guys know. So we're going to have to watch
- 28:04what happens. I don't know if those rate cuts
- 28:06are playing into a vital role in this valuation.
- 28:09And, and I think the way that the euro is hugging that flat
- 28:12line dollar amount, I don't think we're going to see too
- 28:14much exciting stuff out in there.
- 28:15And if and if NATO and Europe continues to get divisional,
- 28:20there are quite a few countries that are not happy about what's
- 28:23going on, tired of getting jerked around, They're tired of
- 28:26the euro. I don't know.
- 28:28We could see more changes there. George, what do you think?
- 28:32With the euro. Well, if they if, if countries
- 28:36decide they don't want to be part of the euro any longer,
- 28:39where does that put them? And what do you think the
- 28:42effects will? Because a lot of people are
- 28:43predicting the US dollar with Trump is going to go through the
- 28:46roof. I'm hoping that nobody wants to
- 28:52be part of bricks, but we'll see with the US dollar.
- 28:56I mean, I don't have. I'm not putting my hopes up high
- 29:00because let's face it, our government still spending money
- 29:03are the Republicans will have control, but they have a hard
- 29:06time governing. Governing.
- 29:08I mean, it's going to be disastrous if they can't vote
- 29:12for speak of the House and then not be able to confirm the
- 29:19election on the 6th. I mean that's just going to make
- 29:23look disastrous. And I can tell you the other
- 29:24side is just going to be looking at it laughing and using it to
- 29:27their advantage. So if if they come out of the
- 29:33gate strong and Doge starts making cuts, then I think our
- 29:37dollar is going to start Jack skyrocketing.
- 29:42It needs more than just Trump. There has to be other integrals
- 29:47in it. And I think Doge, once they see,
- 29:49if you look at, let's say the way Miley's doing it, but and
- 29:52take a playbook out of that, we have a chance like Art, we can
- 29:56bring that dollar backed up where it used to be like in the
- 29:5980s used to go to other countries dollar bill, people go
- 30:02crazy. They want it.
- 30:03Now they look at that like, what is that shit?
- 30:05Get that? Out of here, well, this you got
- 30:07to look at that. We're getting ready to sign off
- 30:08on what I would consider a brutal year when it comes to for
- 30:12the euro. This is a 5.7% loss in currency
- 30:16valuation, which is big, right? And I think it's even more
- 30:19worrying. I don't think there's any
- 30:20material reason to hope for growth next year.
- 30:22So listen. All right, listen.
- 30:24You know what that music means. We're going to take a short
- 30:26break here on the Global Finance Forum.
- 30:28We're going to be back shortly with George Ballantine and Lance
- 30:31Miliati, your host. When we come back, we're going
- 30:33to start talking about stock markets.
- 30:35Nice finish to Christmas, the week high, finally a comeback
- 30:38from that 10 day loss period. Things are looking pretty good.
- 30:41I don't know where it's going to look at the break at the
- 30:43beginning of the year. That'll be interesting to see.
- 30:44We're going to, so stay tuned. Don't go anywhere.
- 30:46The Global Finance Forum. We'll be right back.

- 34:15The As an American who keeps up with the real news.
- 34:17All right, welcome back to the Global Finance Forum powered by
- 34:22Genesis Gold Group with your host George Bounty and Lance
- 34:26Milgi. Theyaccio are Genesis people
- 34:27there on vacation. He gave me a little time off.
- 34:30You know, everybody gets to have some.
- 34:32But you know what? I'm going to give a shout out to
- 34:34them anyway. Genesis Gold Group, y'all seen?
- 34:37Look, the Dow, that's your average.
- 34:40It posted his 1st 10 day loss losing streak since 1974 of a
- 34:44week ago. Markets going up and down.
- 34:47The last four years has come with so many uncertainties.
- 34:50I don't know, is red hot flash going to continue the fence?
- 34:53What do they want to do, drop a point here?
- 34:54Drop 1/4 point? What's that?
- 34:56Do they just keep printing trillions of dollars?
- 34:59Just a few short years taxes has been going up and the government
- 35:04is busily funneling money half its budget into the military
- 35:08industrial complex. As a result, the US dollar has
- 35:11lost value. We were just talking about that,
- 35:12about the US dollar potentially coming back.
- 35:15We don't know. What we need to return to is
- 35:18American roots backed by gold and faith.
- 35:21Instead of using tricks to get their customers on the hook,
- 35:23then punishing them with high huge spreads, Genesis Gold Group
- 35:27chooses to educate and serve. They believe in two things.
- 35:32We serve God and we serve our customers.
- 35:34This is why self-directed Iras backed by physical precious
- 35:37metals have been their primary focus for Genesis Gold Group
- 35:40from the beginning. And soon starting next year in
- 35:43January, they will be doing crypto Iras.
- 35:48So they only work with physical gold and silver and soon to be
- 35:51crypto because it could be stored on the customer's behalf
- 35:54in the depository. The team has decades of
- 35:56experience helping folks just like you preserve your hard
- 35:59earned savings and the service provider to their clients is
- 36:01truly one-of-a-kind. They also offer a free IRA
- 36:04guide. You can get it, it's free, a lot
- 36:06of information, education. All you got to do is call

- 36:54you dial the number for them. George, That's it.
- 36:55And Speaking of the stock market, is it going to finish in
- 36:59a Christmas week high, Lance? I don't know.
- 37:01The US stocks, they've been running slightly elevated for
- 37:04the Christmas week, right? The NASDAQ composite emerging as
- 37:07the index to benefit the most from increased trading.
- 37:11So we all know that a lot of people go shopping, they spend a
- 37:13lot of money during Christmas time, right?
- 37:16We'll see. No doubt there was limited
- 37:18trading throughout the week also.
- 37:20But here's the thing. We're expecting an uptick for
- 37:24Friday as trading begins. Well, it's 3.
- 37:28And right now they're down 555 points, so it doesn't bode well
- 37:32for for what they were hoping for.
- 37:34If you look on the screen, you see the on the bottom ticker,
- 37:37you see a lot of negative, red, negative red.
- 37:40That's telling you what's going on in the market.
- 37:42You know the other ticker is mostly precious, all precious
- 37:44metals, so. Yeah, you can always, you always
- 37:49count on us to run those tickers and those are live tickers.
- 37:51So you get up to date live training.
- 37:53So of course we were up about 1000 points after that route of
- 37:5610 days of bad, bad trading by, of course, high volume, but
- 38:01numbers just going down. I think the larger picture is
- 38:04promising when you consider the total movement for the week, but
- 38:07promising right now it doesn't look too good with a with a drop
- 38:10of 555. So that's, I think we're going
- 38:14to have to just wait and see. Nasdaq Composite Index gained
- 38:17around 4.2% in in December. I don't know where we're at
- 38:20today. George, how's the NASDAQ looking
- 38:21today, Do you know? The NASDAQ let.
- 38:25Me. See, I'll just pull it up.
- 38:26I. Don't know.
- 38:26They're saying it's everything's taking a dive today, but.
- 38:30The NASDAQ, yeah, well, the NASDAQ, let's see here.
- 38:33If it's any different. I want to see here really
- 38:35quickly today. Let's see what today's numbers
- 38:38are. Just want to get it for the
- 38:39audience today. Let's see.
- 38:41Today. Let's see here.
- 38:46Yeah, it's down 454 points. It's at 19565.
- 38:51So it looks like we're going to have another downward trend.
- 38:53Hopefully that doesn't hold through the end of the year, but
- 38:55it might. People might be just trying to
- 38:56lock down their gains they got for the rest of the year and not
- 38:59taking any chances. Of course, there's a lot of
- 39:01uncertainty. There's been some rumors that
- 39:04Joe Biden may step down. I don't know if that's
- 39:06authentic. We're not sure yet.
- 39:09A lot of people are saying that that would be frightening for
- 39:12the financial markets because that would give an awful lot of
- 39:16short term power to Kamala Harris.
- 39:19Because if Biden did step down because of his health and his
- 39:21dementia, then the question is what would happen?
- 39:25What do you think, George? You think it's likely he'll step
- 39:27down, and you think he's going to hold tough and sleepy.
- 39:32That's interesting. I think he's going to hold, he's
- 39:35not going to. I mean, if he if he would have
- 39:39stepped down that it just it just puts into perspective that
- 39:42all his decisions were not really made by him and
- 39:46technically can be reversed then.
- 39:48So if you look at just like for instance, is pardoning on his
- 39:51son, he's not in a rape front of mind, then who's doing it?
- 39:54And he shouldn't be doing it because it's only reserved for
- 39:56the president. So if he can't, if he's been all
- 40:00this diminishing decline in his mental capabilities, I don't
- 40:06know. I so I think he's going to hold
- 40:07they're going to hold him out just for that reason.
- 40:10So we'll see. I mean, I could be wrong.
- 40:14Won't be the first time, but. Well, you know, they're
- 40:17reporting that US holiday sales, retail sales were up from last
- 40:22year, but last year was so lackluster.
- 40:23I'm not sure that that's going to really bode well for the
- 40:25market. I don't know what's going to
- 40:27happen. So once again, diversification,
- 40:30safety, those are important things.
- 40:31Depending on your age, the younger you are, the more risk
- 40:33you can take. Of course, a lot of people that
- 40:35watch this show are in a different demographic.
- 40:38They're fairly financially well off.
- 40:40They're older, well educated. So we get a lot of that on this
- 40:43show. So we'll have to just wait and
- 40:44see. Silver price forecast, I'll
- 40:46switch it up here, George, we're wondering, everybody's wondering
- 40:50about the $30.16 resistance is does it look like we're going to
- 40:55breakthrough and trigger a breakout?
- 40:57There's a lot of resilience. We've seen so far where the
- 41:01trading is at up, it's up market consolidated for a while there,
- 41:05that consolidation point would have been a pivot point at
- 41:07around $29.79 an ounce. And of course, it's it's got a
- 41:12dual role. Silver, you have to remember,
- 41:13it's a safe haven and of course industrial asset because it's
- 41:16focused amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and global
- 41:19economic uncertainties. There are governments
- 41:22accumulating silver along with gold and their reserves, not
- 41:24only bricks, but other nations because again, the technical
- 41:27uses for silver, you have to look at the military uses and
- 41:30the need for it. And of course, we've seen that
- 41:32new EV technology for batteries. You've heard us mention on the
- 41:35show the Samsung technology, but we think there's going to be
- 41:39high demand for that. So what do you think
- 41:41geopolitical risks and dollar impact on silver prices?
- 41:44Where do you think we're going to see is silver going to have
- 41:45steady performance, George? Silver, come on, it's of course
- 41:50it's going to be it's listen Silver, we were just talking
- 41:55about it, right? The forecast is showing like to
- 41:58be $30.16, but there's too much going on with Silver like you're
- 42:03saying to EV batteries. There's I mean, I think he's
- 42:07going to, it's going to, there's going to be a breakout.
- 42:10It's, you know, could happen tomorrow, could happen next
- 42:13week, next month. But you can't go wrong with it,
- 42:16just like you can't go wrong with gold.
- 42:18When have they, when have anybody really lost money in
- 42:21silver and gold? Like really lost money?
- 42:24They haven't, it's not one of those things where they have
- 42:27lost money at the end of the day, the long term play on it
- 42:30stacking some both George and I have some just isn't it just is
- 42:33some information for you. We hold on to it because you
- 42:36just never know, right. You want to have some kind of
- 42:37security at your home and the ability to make sure you're
- 42:40covered. But Silvermate, you know, I
- 42:42think it's going to benefit, you know, because it's obviously got
- 42:44a critical role in clean energy technologies.
- 42:47Of course, electronics and military industrial complex.
- 42:51And I think the Global Clean Energy initiative, although I
- 42:53don't agree with all of it, is it is expanding.
- 42:56We're seeing that industrial demand for silver is continuing
- 42:59to rise. And of course there haven't been
- 43:01a tremendous amount of new silver reserves.
- 43:03We did see some recent announcements out of El Salvador
- 43:08that they are sitting on trillions of dollars in gold,
- 43:11but I haven't seen that that same kind of reporting on
- 43:13silver. I haven't seen new mining
- 43:14reserves popping up. And of course, with that limited
- 43:19new development, meaning new resources, what's ahead for
- 43:23silver? I think you're going to have to
- 43:24watch closely US economies that you're going to have to watch
- 43:26that data really close. Of course, the strong U.S.
- 43:29dollar is always going to put some pressure on the price of
- 43:31silver, but it's the geopolitical risk that I think
- 43:34is raising across the country and you have to pay attention to
- 43:36that. And those developments could
- 43:39really drive silver's near term direction.
- 43:42So it's important to pay attention to what's going on
- 43:44politically so. We just you brought up, you
- 43:47know, about President Biden, Kamala, and actually thank you,
- 43:51dad at 12 for your donation. And they said just to pardon Joe
- 43:54Biden, right? Kamala as president, second,
- 43:59first woman president and then first Indian or well, she ain't
- 44:03black, so we'll say Indian woman president.
- 44:06So you know what, the Dems could, you know what?
- 44:09I could see a slick move like that now thinking, yeah, she'll
- 44:12just pardon Hunter anyway, right?
- 44:15What does she care? You know, I think that'll be
- 44:17part of the deal. If Joe does agree to step down,
- 44:20I'm sure he's going to lock and load on all his pardons.
- 44:22There's stories that the guy that used to run the Silk Road
- 44:25is getting a pardon and imminent from Joe Biden.
- 44:28I'm not sure what the basis of that is, but yeah.
- 44:30Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of stories.
- 44:31I heard a story last night. That was supposed.
- 44:33Wasn't that supposed to be from the libertarians with Trump?
- 44:37All I can tell you is that Joe Biden is talking about pardoning
- 44:41him. There's talks behind the scenes
- 44:43and I got it from a really good source, so it appears that that
- 44:46might be imminent. How about pardoning Edward
- 44:48Snowden, man? Yeah, I don't, I don't think
- 44:51Biden, although I do see the potential for for Donald Trump
- 44:55to pardon, you know, Snowden and even pardon all the remaining
- 45:01stuff that they've talked about when it comes to Julian Assange.
- 45:04WikiLeaks, you know, I think there's more there that they've
- 45:07looked at. So I don't know.
- 45:08We'll see what happens. I'd love to see that.
- 45:10I'd love to hear the real details from Snowden and I'd
- 45:13like to hear the rest of the details from Assange when it
- 45:15comes to all that WikiLeaks. So let's talk about gold,
- 45:18George. Gold.
- 45:18You love gold, George. You love talking about gold.
- 45:21Gold is something that's always on George's mind.
- 45:23What? The price forecast, there's a,
- 45:26there's a lot of bullishness about the hold above the 2600.
- 45:29You know, we hit that all time high.
- 45:31I think it was what, 27 or 2800 and change now we're sitting
- 45:34below that because it was holiday liquidation, you know,
- 45:38and that muted a lot of the market moves.
- 45:40This is on track for a weekly gain.
- 45:42And I think we're looking at a lot of future gains because of
- 45:44the accumulation of bricks. There are a lot of nations that
- 45:48are talking about getting fully off Fiat currencies, including
- 45:52the US, which of course requires heavy investment in precious
- 45:55metals, which of course, when you talk about those, it's gold,
- 45:58silver, platinum and Palladium. Those are the ones that really
- 46:01control the, the, the majority of the economy when it comes to
- 46:05bullion. What do you think, man?
- 46:07George, what's up? We we touched that all time high
- 46:09of 2007, 9015 and that was in October.
- 46:13So what are your thoughts? I think it's going to go up.
- 46:17You know, listen, as our economy slowly goes back to being one of
- 46:25the best in the in the world, gold is going to be up.
- 46:28I mean, imagine, imagine if they got rid of the Federal Reserve
- 46:32and, and backed our dollar by, by the gold.
- 46:36Imagine how much gold would go up there, huh?
- 46:39It would go through the roof because the US would had, would
- 46:41would really have to bolster their gold and silver reserves
- 46:46and, and, you know, high demand, higher prices, bricks hasn't
- 46:50stopped in their accumulation of gold, but we have had some big
- 46:53reserves, some big mining reserves turn up.
- 46:55There's been some big ones in Afghanistan that have been
- 46:57mentioned, some big ones in El Salvador.
- 47:00So gold, you know, even though the the demand's going up, I'm
- 47:04wondering what's going to the impact's going to be of these
- 47:06new reserves have been located. Of course, they it takes time.
- 47:08You have to get the mining operation in full swing, you
- 47:11have to do the investigation, you have to set up the all the
- 47:13resources, the crushing cycles and all the rest of the
- 47:17depending on how you're going to leach the gold out of the
- 47:19materials you're mining. So it's big, but they talk about
- 47:22huge reserves and interesting, we talked about Canada, George.
- 47:28You know, Canada's got some great mineral reserves that have
- 47:30never they're untapped. What about?
- 47:33That's why we would love to have them as a 51st state.
- 47:35It sounds great to me. I don't know if it's going to
- 47:37happen. But of course, Donald Trump's
- 47:38preparing to re enter the White House in January.
- 47:41So markets are bracing for significant policy shifts.
- 47:44We don't know what those are yet.
- 47:45The proposed tariffs, deregulation, tax changes,
- 47:48there's been mentioned, but no hard line analysis right now.
- 47:51The most we hear about is Doja, the Department of Government
- 47:55Efficiency, Vivek Ramaswami and Elon are planning on making a
- 47:58lot of changes there, hopefully reducing the size of government
- 48:02and a plan to reduce our debt. I've heard some stories about
- 48:05XRP and the RLUSD being involved in that.
- 48:08I don't know if they're true, we're just hearing it, a lot of
- 48:11rumors about it, but hopefully it will be that so that this is
- 48:14Fed monetary policy and by extension, of course, gold
- 48:17prices. But maybe there won't be a Fed.
- 48:20There's a lot of people that are saying that the the Rand Paul
- 48:23and Ron Paul are pushing behind the scenes to get rid of the
- 48:25Fed, of course. And the Fed has always been
- 48:27their thing. So the technical outlook for
- 48:29gold, it's going to continue to trade with a bullish framework,
- 48:32I think buoyed by an upward trending trend line that I think
- 48:36is above that 2600. That consolidation around that
- 48:39number just shows stability that it shouldn't break below that
- 48:42level. So hopefully we'll be seeing
- 48:45higher terms here in the short term that RSI stands at 56.9,
- 48:50suggesting room for further gains.
- 48:52So you got to, you know, I've got cautious optimism about
- 48:54gold, George. I'm, I'm about it.
- 48:56I think that bullish momentum is going to continue an upward
- 48:58trend. I think we're going to see some
- 49:00increased pricing at least over the next quarter.
- 49:03Listen, gold's always going to go up.
- 49:05It's always been like that, you know, matter.
- 49:08It's just a matter like how much will it go up?
- 49:10How fast will it go up? You cannot be investing your
- 49:14money into gold. It's a it's one of the most
- 49:17secure ways of keep your money because it's not like stocks,
- 49:21they go up and down. Yeah, and you can hold it in
- 49:24your hand if you decide you want to store it for yourself.
- 49:27You don't have to store it one of.
- 49:29My silver I have. You know what, Next time I'm
- 49:32going to bring out the silver coin.
- 49:34That's it, I got. Got to bring out the silver?
- 49:37Well, the prepper bar's interesting because you can make
- 49:39payments with it. And that's why we teamed up with
- 49:40Genesis Gold. That's why we teamed up with
- 49:42Solemn Global. You guys got to see there's lots
- 49:45of great stuff. We can't talk about it much
- 49:46under NDA, but you want to definitely head over to the
- 49:49Solom Global website, check it out, take a look.
- 49:52Interesting company with a bright future.
- 49:55They've they've been they've been just having just amazing
- 49:58meetings and closing deals left and right that company and that
- 50:01is a company that believes in full transparency.
- 50:05So they've got a stable coin, they've got a gold backed coin
- 50:07they're coming out with and they have got a an A really
- 50:11interesting way to make healthcare payments that they're
- 50:14working on that I think is going to be incredible.
- 50:16So stay tuned to Solon global. We'll be telling you more about
- 50:18and of course the crypto power hour.
- 50:20That's where you'll learn more crypto hacks.
- 50:22This is something you've got to be defensive on crypto hacks.
- 50:25Losses just mounted to a 2.2 billion for the year.
- 50:29That means that people got a hold of people's seed phrases,
- 50:31got access to their cold storage and their their trading wallets
- 50:35and boom been jacking and racking.
- 50:37So that skyrocketed from 2020. Four, 2.2 billion.
- 50:41That's a big number, George. It is a big number.
- 50:43I mean, and you know what, it's mostly they, the way they're
- 50:47mostly getting off on is people like new users that are, that
- 50:50are unaware of how to protect themselves or their wallets
- 50:53because a lot of scams. And ironically, like you see a
- 50:56lot of these people, like you'll see from Pakistan, you'll see
- 50:59from India, even Russia, you always see these like they have
- 51:04all these scam call centers. They're doing this too.
- 51:08So you have to be careful and protect your wallet and if you
- 51:13have a lot of crypto, the best thing to do is not keep it on
- 51:16your phone, keep it in a cold storage wallet.
- 51:19Yeah, Did you see that new hack technology?
- 51:21There's some frightening stuff. Let me tell you about two of
- 51:23them. Apple's had some real issues
- 51:26about security, but there's also a new scam, George, where they
- 51:29send a package or an envelope to your house and it's got some
- 51:32kind of a fancy presentation with a barcode saying that
- 51:36somebody bought you a gift and you just need to scan this
- 51:38barcode and that'll secure getting the delivery of the
- 51:41actual gift. And it looks like somebody gave
- 51:43you something, so you scan. But the minute you scan that
- 51:46barcode, you just gave full access to the hackers.
- 51:48It comes up and they Get full access to your phone where they
- 51:50scrape all the data. So if you get something you're
- 51:52unsure of, do not scan that barcode.
- 51:55You might be very sorry about it.
- 51:56Last year's losses just to give you kind of some kind of, you
- 52:00know, way to compare for 1.8 billion in cryptocurrency.
- 52:05Now you guys understand that only 4.6 or maybe as high as 5%
- 52:09of the people in the world are involved in crypto at all.
- 52:12That number is they're they're predicting to double or triple
- 52:15this year as more and more people get involved in digital
- 52:18currencies, digital assets and cryptocurrency.
- 52:21There's so many ways to get involved.
- 52:23They they're seeing a double to a triple maybe over this term.
- 52:26Of course, us being pro crypto is no small thing on that.
- 52:30So you got to pay attention. So there was a lot of cases, I
- 52:33guess the cases when you look at these numbers.
- 52:35So there was 2023, there was 282 cases.
- 52:39In 2024, there was 303 cases of crypto hacking.
- 52:43I'm sure there's more than that, but that just tells you when you
- 52:45start talking about billions, the, the, these are big wallets
- 52:48that are getting hacked. These aren't people that are
- 52:49just small people like us. These are the big wallets
- 52:52getting takedown. Well, look at this.
- 52:53The biggest hacks occurred in exchanges in India and Japan.
- 52:59So India had 235,000,000 being taken from the Waze X exchange
- 53:05and 305 million in the Japan's DMM exchange.
- 53:09So listen. Yeah.
- 53:11Well, and of course, as the value goes up, we're talking
- 53:15about a situation where it brings, you know, the the
- 53:17thieves notice that, right? Bitcoin rose 140% in 2024.
- 53:21Of course, that's prompting greater attention from thieves
- 53:24who who, of course, are taking advantage of that rapidly
- 53:26growing market. So a lot of new investors in
- 53:28cryptocurrency make it way too easy.
- 53:30They're easy marks for these unscrupulous scammers.
- 53:33You got to think about it from that perspective.
- 53:35There's a guy named Eric Jardine.
- 53:36He leads the cyber crimes research for chain analysis.
- 53:40He said that the illicit use of cryptocurrency tends to grow as
- 53:43the digital asset trading increases.
- 53:45So he's talking about much more. The biggest hacks occurred, like
- 53:48George said, in India and Japan, so but that doesn't mean they
- 53:51didn't happen here. So be aware, pay attention as
- 53:54you start to get involved in crypto, the security of your
- 53:56assets is primary. Those seed phrases should be
- 54:00stored in a very secure way and not on your computer or your
- 54:03cell phone. So you got to think about
- 54:05getting those offline. But it's difficult.
- 54:07I know we're all hooked on technology and we all want to
- 54:10make it easy for ourselves. So, George, let's talk about
- 54:13Argentina. This is your, your, your, your.
- 54:16You are a fan of Javier Mile. You love the guy.
- 54:19Let's talk about this story. La fuera, la fuera, la fuera.
- 54:22Listen, the Argent, we're just talking about the new, the, the
- 54:26dollar here in America. So the Argentina peso strengthen
- 54:30more in real terms at than any other currency in 2024.
- 54:37Look at that. I mean, no surprise.
- 54:38You hear that more than any other currency.
- 54:41And this is all from President Javier Miley, who's actually a
- 54:44libertarian. I didn't know he was a
- 54:45libertarian. Yeah.
- 54:47And now you remember all the people that were that were
- 54:49questioning him and saying, oh, he could never, he'll never be
- 54:52able to do it. And this guy just came in, got
- 54:54rid of the wasteful spending. Their, their budget is balanced
- 54:59there. There is no, they have no more
- 55:01deficit. I mean, of course their money's
- 55:04going to strengthen. What?
- 55:06Where? Why wouldn't it imagine we could
- 55:09do that here in this country, strengthen our dollar.
- 55:12It's Lance. This is crazy.
- 55:14Their peso strengthened 44.2% in the 1st 11 months of the year.
- 55:19That's nuts, isn't it? 44.2%.
- 55:22Should have gone long on that currency.
- 55:24You would have made a lot of money if you'd gone long on the
- 55:26on the Argentine peso. So I mean, you know, outpaced
- 55:29everybody. I think the next closest one was
- 55:30Turkish Lira came in second at 21.2%.
- 55:33Which I'm shocked that Turkish, I mean, yeah, that they they at
- 55:37that high have. You been, Have you been to
- 55:39Turkey, Georgia? It's crazy.
- 55:40No, a place is just bustling. It's a crazy, crazy place.
- 55:44I was on a Turkish Airlines. We landed there, but I I didn't
- 55:50get, we didn't have to get off or nothing.
- 55:51I spent some time in Turkey and I was actually surprised about
- 55:54how bustling it is. But I'll tell you what, driving
- 55:56in Turkey, you are taking your life in your own hands.
- 55:59They are driving. They're driving up on the curbs.
- 56:01I mean, they're, they just man, when they're afraid, let me go.
- 56:04Anywhere. Let me help you out.
- 56:05That I've been to Egypt, Israel, I mean, a lot of countries all
- 56:08over like that. It's like that.
- 56:10You go in, the streets are so small.
- 56:12When you go through towns, they're crazy.
- 56:15It's not just Turkey, it's Egypt.
- 56:16All of them are like that. That's why when you see them
- 56:19coming here driving the first time, they drive like crazy.
- 56:22Like whoa. I got to say, there's a reason
- 56:25Mile is so popular we've they've seen the average salary in in
- 56:30Argentina double in dollar terms to $990.00, which for them was
- 56:34huge. Of course, that's giving
- 56:36Argentinians a lot more money to spend.
- 56:38It's never happened. After the seven years of near
- 56:40constant depreciation of their salaries, they are on fire.
- 56:45And of course, Argentina's central bank is kind of
- 56:47struggling with this massive amount of growth and we'll have
- 56:49to see. And of course, he's affecting.
- 56:51He's making decisions on tariffs.
- 56:53You know, of course, Melee's program, here's a direct quote.
- 56:56Melee's program is working, but the pesos appreciation is the
- 56:59greatest risk going forward. Of course, they're worried about
- 57:02hyperinflation and the impact and kind of keeping up to
- 57:04demand. So of course they're worried
- 57:07about maybe a potential devaluation because of how fast
- 57:09it's growing. I don't think that's going to
- 57:11happen. They're dubbing that currency
- 57:13right now the Super peso, George, Super, that's super
- 57:17peso. Let's go.
- 57:19Super Peso, Super peso, I'm I'm putting in a chat right now for

- 1:00:21goes by Chris Pavlowski. He's got his whole full name.
- 1:00:24It's PAV just to get you started.
- 1:00:26So Chris PAV and it'll pop up. Let him know, go into his go
- 1:00:29into his timeline and just comment on another post and say
- 1:00:32we really love the big, big show or.
- 1:00:34I just got it. We just got an update on XRP, so
- 1:00:36I'm going to read it verbatim. So XRP has been struggling to
- 1:00:39gain the momentum we've been waiting for and I believe this
- 1:00:42is because the market needed to perfectly touch the .618 fib
- 1:00:47retrace for support. Now that we officially hit this
- 1:00:50key level, we. Also Fibonacci.
- 1:00:53We also held the bullish RSI Divergent, which reinforces that
- 1:00:57this will likely support XRP needed to fuel its next move.
- 1:01:04Yeah, not financial advice, but I think XRP is going to be a
- 1:01:07powerhouse in the crypto community.
- 1:01:09They already are. If you know anything about them,
- 1:01:11they already are. Brad Garlinghouse has done an
- 1:01:13amazing job. He's going to be on the crypto
- 1:01:15power. I will have him on as an
- 1:01:16interview. There'll be lots of big, big
- 1:01:18crypto people. You're not going to want to miss
- 1:01:20that show. And we're going to take the time
- 1:01:21to educate you guys. We're not going to just RIP out
- 1:01:23the terms Fibonacci retracement, if you guys know that.
- 1:01:27That's a very important cyclical when it comes to doing.
- 1:01:30Trading all's I can say is crypto school is now in session.
- 1:01:35Don't be late, don't be tardy. I don't want to put you on a
- 1:01:38bench or nothing. All right, well, the Global
- 1:01:41Finance forum, that's one more addition in the can.
