- 0:00Is Bitcoin going to 0 or 1,000,000?
- 0:02Because depending on who you listen to, it's either the
- 0:05biggest fraud ever invented or it's the most important
- 0:07invention since the Internet. Don't.
- 0:09Listen to the crypto Kitty, he's leading you astray.
- 0:13Don't buy Bitcoin. If you have any Bitcoin, sell it
- 0:16all right now. Buy gold, buy yes, buy gold for
- 0:19sure. Buy gold, buy silver, Buy
- 0:21something real. Get out of Fiat into something
- 0:23real and tangible that has value.
- 0:26Don't buy into a scam magic into that money.
- 0:29Right. It's not even money, it's just
- 0:31this BS. When you buy Bitcoin, all you're
- 0:34doing is making the person who's selling it rich.
- 0:37Don't be a bag holder. It's hilarious because this guy
- 0:46can't even tell whether a gold bar is real or not.
- 0:49So I have a nice box here. What is that?
- 0:52He has some. I think it's Kurkis language.
- 0:56I took it back from Kyrgyzstan. He has a certificate.
- 0:59I got it. I got this from a very important
- 1:01person from Kyrgyzstan very recently, just completely by
- 1:07luck. So we take it out.
- 1:09It's pretty heavy. I'll put this down.
- 1:12You can see like it says, Turkistan 1000 grams, fine gold
- 1:1999.9 point 9 and a serial number.
- 1:23Try it. Yes, yeah.
- 1:25It's heavy. Is it real gold or no?
- 1:28Well, I don't. Know I mean I, you know I mean.
- 1:31Is this what you're trying to I mean?
- 1:33And here's the crazy thing. We've heard this exact debate
- 1:36before. The Internet is a fad.
- 1:38Amazon will fail. No one will ever do commerce
- 1:40online. Nobody will ever stream movies.
- 1:43The iPhone is a toy. e-mail isn't for serious communication.
- 1:47So if you're new to Bitcoin and you're confused, welcome.
- 1:49You're not dumb. You're just stuck between
- 1:51history and the people who never learned from it.
- 1:54And today, I'm going to show you that we're in one of those
- 1:56moments with Bitcoin. This is Dante Coco Bitcoin.
- 1:58Simply, let's go. If I'm a new investor to
- 2:04Bitcoin, I'm confused because every day you're hearing clips
- 2:08like this about how much of a fraud it is.
- 2:10This is the first interview that famed investor Michael Berry has
- 2:14done in decades, and he had this to say about Bitcoin.
- 2:17I think that Bitcoin at 100,000 is the most ridiculous thing.
- 2:22That same people are sitting on TV talking about Bitcoin.
- 2:26There's casually it's 100,000 down, now it's 98,000.
- 2:32It's not worth anything. Everybody's accepted it.
- 2:39It's a Tulip bulb of our time. It's worse than a Tulip bulb
- 2:43because this has enabled so much criminal activity to go deep
- 2:47under under. And you'll hear clips like these
- 2:49from Larry Fink, the largest asset manager in the world and
- 2:52the most important person in finance on the globe.
- 2:55He changed his tune about Bitcoin, and he admitted that he
- 2:58was wrong. Called crypto an index for money
- 3:01laundering. BlackRock.
- 3:04And thieves. And thieves.
- 3:06Yes, money laundering and thieves.
- 3:09You now have the biggest Bitcoin ETF.
- 3:13So what happened here? I have very strong views, but
- 3:18that doesn't mean I'm not wrong. I but you, by having strong
- 3:23views, you have to test yourself and ask yourself.
- 3:25And you know, in my role, I see, you know, thousands of clients a
- 3:29year. I have, you know, governmental
- 3:32leaders and we have these conversations that my, my
- 3:35thought process always evolves. And this is a a very glaring
- 3:39public example of of a a big shift in my opinion.
- 3:43You'll hear quotes like this from Michael Saylor, who said
- 3:45that all of the major banks have flipped their tune on Bitcoin in
- 3:48the last 6 to 12 months. What we've what we've seen is
- 3:53BNY Mellon, PNC Bank, Citibank, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of
- 3:59America, Vanguard, all of these have flipped from a hostile,
- 4:06negative or skeptical view to a positive view in the last 12
- 4:09months, right? We have announcements Schwab is
- 4:13going to custody Bitcoin and extend credit against crypto
- 4:18assets early next year. Citi is doing the same thing.
- 4:22But you'll also hear things like this from Brad Gerstner, A famed
- 4:26Silicon Valley investor in VC who says that Bitcoin is a
- 4:29speculative asset with no utility.
- 4:31MicroStrategy could go to 0 in quantum computing could break or
- 4:35hack the blockchain. It is a risk asset.
- 4:37You should treat it appropriately in your portfolio
- 4:39because if MicroStrategy is forced to delever, yeah, if
- 4:43there's an unwind there, it could get really messy in the
- 4:46short run, which is probably why I would be waiting to see how
- 4:49this plays out. Doesn't go to.
- 4:50Zero does it. No.
- 4:52I mean, I think I, I think the black, the, the Black Swan,
- 4:56right, is that somebody hacks, you know, crypto, whether it's
- 5:00quantum or otherwise. There was some news out
- 5:02overnight about, you know, Anthropic running some
- 5:04vulnerability tests on the black chain.
- 5:07Those things I think will be important if this is to have
- 5:11durability. But then I saw on December 3rd,
- 5:14Rick Worser, the CEO of $12 trillion, Charles Schwab, said
- 5:18that they're going to begin allowing their investors to buy
- 5:20Bitcoin in Ethereum starting in January of 2026.
- 5:23Bank of America said that they're going to begin
- 5:24recommending A1 to 4% allocation of Bitcoin in 2026 as well.
- 5:28And this is the comment from the CEO of Fidelity, a $6 trillion
- 5:32asset manager. She says that she kind of likes
- 5:34Bitcoin. Kind of like.
- 5:35Bitcoin I, I don't own tons of coins, but I own Bitcoin and I
- 5:43think it will continue to play a role in the savings hierarchy of
- 5:50lots of people. And it's, it is the gold
- 5:57standard, so to speak, you know, in the crypto world and it's
- 6:03been around and it's solid and it's persisted and it's a it's a
- 6:09good system. So I'm long term very
- 6:13comfortable and I think that that will continue to be
- 6:17something that we will factor into our thinking and our quest
- 6:21to provide options for our customers.
- 6:25And but then you'll look at the price and then you'll say,
- 6:27Dante, all of these things are true.
- 6:28Then why is Bitcoin flat in 2025?
- 6:31It's not a store of value relative to gold, with it being
- 6:33down a few percent this year and gold being up 50 to 60%.
- 6:36Is it just a speculative asset with no utility?
- 6:39Bitcoin this year is down 10%. Gold is up 50 or 60%.
- 6:42I hope we can dispel the myth, right?
- 6:451 is a risk asset and one is not, right?
- 6:47And so it doesn't mean that you shouldn't own Bitcoin.
- 6:49I own some Bitcoin and I might might be buying a little bit
- 6:53more, you know, as it as it comes down.
- 6:55But it is a speculative asset that over time we'll have more
- 6:59and more utility. But we have to be honest with
- 7:01what it is today, OK? Let me give you the real we've
- 7:04seen this before. Here's the famous clip from
- 7:07Steve Ballmer, the president and CEO of Microsoft, saying that
- 7:11the iPhone will never work, it's just a toy, laughing out loud at
- 7:14$500 iPhones. Yet while today we spend 1600
- 7:17two, $1000 on this device that we can't put down.
- 7:20Steve, let me ask you about the iPhone and the Zune.
- 7:23If, if I may, the Zune was getting some traction.
- 7:26Then Steve Jobs goes to Macworld and he he pulls out this iPhone.
- 7:30What was your first reaction when you saw that $500 fully
- 7:35subsidized with the plan? I said that is the most
- 7:38expensive phone in the world and it doesn't appeal to business
- 7:42customers because it doesn't have a keyboard, which makes it
- 7:44not a very good e-mail machine. What about Blockbuster being
- 7:47able to buy Netflix for $50 million and then laughing them
- 7:50out of the room saying that streaming will never happen?
- 7:52What about Newsweek saying that no online database is ever going
- 7:56to replace your daily newspaper? They were actually right that
- 7:58they said no computer network will change how the government
- 8:01works, and that is true today. History has taught us what
- 8:03people say about new innovations.
- 8:05They're scams, they're frauds, they're speculative assets until
- 8:08they aren't, until they take over the world.
- 8:10We're seeing an asset that's here to stay and it's
- 8:12fundamentally going to change the world as we move forward
- 8:15into this new digital era. We're in between this stage
- 8:17where people think it's a fad or a fraud and some people think
- 8:20it's an invention that's going to change the world and I
- 8:22believe that it's the latter. We'll get right to that after we
- 8:25thank our sponsors. Lenin has been the leader in
- 8:27Bitcoin back loan since 2018, issuing over $9 billion worth of
- 8:31loans to 10s of thousands of customers across the world.
- 8:33They understand one fundamental thing.
- 8:35You never sell your Bitcoin and they allow you to do just that.
- 8:38Don't sell your Bitcoin, but borrow against it with a no
- 8:40credit check loan starting at just 12.4%.
- 8:43Keep your sovereignty and borrow in cut bugs or Fiat.
- 8:46The dollars can be in your account in less than 24 hours
- 8:49and the application takes just two minutes.
- 8:51Go to learn dot LED and dot AO slash simply to get started, and
- 8:54I want to thank the Bitcoin way the leaders in helping you to
- 8:56protect your generational wealth the right way.
- 8:58They will have a member of your team walk you through step by
- 9:01step why Bitcoin is Revolution asset, why you can hold 12 words
- 9:04in your head and be sovereign anywhere in the world, and how
- 9:06you can do this privately, safely and securely.

- 9:13Back to the show, if we. Open the borders tomorrow and
- 9:16gave everyone one day around the planet to come to America.
- 9:19We'd have a line of seven and a half billion people to come in.
- 9:22And the second he said it, I completely agree.
- 9:25Whatever people's views on immigration are, people want to
- 9:27come here and they want to come here for a reason.
- 9:30And if you've lived overseas like I have in Brazil, it
- 9:32resonated with me. I think that is the way people
- 9:35think of Bitcoin to a degree, is the way we as Americans remember
- 9:40America as this place of freedom, this place to go where
- 9:43the government literally is not on top of you the way it was in
- 9:47my country. So Bitcoin is still going to be
- 9:49a place that people are going to go into, and I still think that
- 9:527 1/2 billion people on the planet will eventually be
- 9:55putting money in at a fast pace. Stable coins to me, are going to
- 9:58accelerate that move in a very, very big way.
- 10:02And that's why I believe in the network effects for Bitcoin
- 10:04right now as the same thing that happened in the network effects
- 10:07for all the platform stocks that have become major parts of all
- 10:11of our portfolios if we own the S&P 500, I believe.
- 10:14That this is true. I believe that 7 1/2 billion
- 10:16people across the world believe that Bitcoin isn't a fad, it's a
- 10:19life raft against their debasing currency that's getting debased
- 10:22faster than the US dollar. Government regimes that take and
- 10:26confiscate assets whenever and however that they like.
- 10:29As we move into a world where everybody's going to have USDT
- 10:32or stablecoins or USDC on their phone, they're going to want a
- 10:36place to store that. And that's not going to be at a
- 10:38traditional bank. That's going to be in the
- 10:40Bitcoin investment vehicle right within their digital wallet.
- 10:44They're going to store their value over time, not in a gold
- 10:47bar that you can't actually verify, like Peter Schiff, but
- 10:50in Bitcoin, this revolutionary asset that provides access
- 10:53freedom in the American dream to 7 1/2 billion people across the
- 10:57globe. It's not a fad.
- 10:58This is something that's here to stay and it's not going to 0.
- 11:02So you might as well get that out of your head.
- 11:03But the question is, are you going to be one of the people
- 11:05that called the Internet a fad or Amazon a bomb or a fail?
- 11:08Or are you going to be be one of the people that are on the right
- 11:10side of history? Then understand where money is
- 11:12going, where the arrows of progress are going and
- 11:15understanding that we're not going backwards to a Fiat
- 11:17standard. I don't know what do you think
- 11:19in the comments? One of the ways you can continue
- 11:21to be sovereign is by stacking sats while you sleep
- 11:24continuously around the clock. If you have extra cash or
- 11:26assets, buy a state-of-the-art mining rig that's going to be
- 11:30mining Bitcoin 24/7 with renewable carbon free energy.
- 11:34And you don't have to do this yourself.
- 11:36You can hire someone like SAS Mining to do it for you.

- 11:41simple for people like you to invest into Bitcoin.
