Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_03: Welcome to the biggest argument of our generation.
- 0:03SPEAKER_03: I have$50 and these two are gonna let me know what to do with it.
- 0:07SPEAKER_03: May the best argument win.
- 0:08SPEAKER_03: Alright, Austin, you're up.
- 0:10SPEAKER_03: Make the case for why crypto and sports betting are the best.
- 0:13SPEAKER_03: Go.
- 0:14SPEAKER_02: Okay, okay, you want inspiration?
- 0:15SPEAKER_02: I got inspiration.
- 0:16SPEAKER_02: Did you guys hear about the Seahawks player that bet$33,000 on the Seahawks winning?
- 0:21SPEAKER_00: I am putting$33,000, which is every single dime that I have saved on the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl.
- 0:33SPEAKER_00: And before you even try to talk me out of it, I've already made the slip, bro.
- 0:39SPEAKER_02: Wait, that actually happened?
- 0:40SPEAKER_02: Yep, he put everything on the line.
- 0:42SPEAKER_02: One bet, and he won$16,000.
- 0:45SPEAKER_02: Wait, that's kind of insane.
- 0:46SPEAKER_01: That's kind of terrifying.
- 0:48SPEAKER_02: That's kind of legendary.
- 0:49SPEAKER_02: And it's not just sports betting.
- 0:51SPEAKER_02: You know how much Bitcoin went up in a single year?
- 0:53SPEAKER_02: That's not enough to make your index fund cry.
- 0:55SPEAKER_02: There are people who bought crypto, went to sleep, and woke up millionaires.
- 0:59SPEAKER_03: Okay, okay.
- 1:00SPEAKER_03: I see the vision.
- 1:01SPEAKER_03: Emily go.
- 1:02SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
- 1:02SPEAKER_01: So, the SP 500.
- 1:04SPEAKER_01: It's the top 500 companies in all of America.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: Apple, Amazon, Google, all of them.
- 1:09SPEAKER_01: It goes up on average about 7% every year.
- 1:13SPEAKER_01: Put it in, you leave it alone, and it does all the work for you.
- 1:16SPEAKER_01: No waking up in a cold sweat, no stress, you just leave it alone.
- 1:20SPEAKER_03: That does sound peaceful.
- 1:21SPEAKER_03: It sounds like a nap.
- 1:22SPEAKER_03: Okay, Austin.
- 1:23SPEAKER_03: Emily said 7% each year.
- 1:25SPEAKER_03: What's the crypto number?
- 1:27SPEAKER_03: I mean, it depends on the year.
- 1:29SPEAKER_03: What's the number?
- 1:30SPEAKER_02: Some years it's up about 300%.
- 1:32SPEAKER_02: Other years, it's up about a thousand percent.
- 1:35SPEAKER_03: And some years?
- 1:36SPEAKER_03: Some years it drops like 70%.
- 1:39SPEAKER_03: Interesting.
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: Okay, so here's the thing.
- 1:43SPEAKER_01: Austin's right a little bit.
- 1:45SPEAKER_01: You can win insane amounts of money from crypto, but you can also lose a lot of money.
- 1:50SPEAKER_01: It takes me like 10 hours to make 200 bucks.
- 1:53SPEAKER_01: Do you really want to lose that all in seconds?
- 1:55SPEAKER_03: Keep your 200 bucks.
- 1:57SPEAKER_03: I'll be busy counting my cash.
- 1:58SPEAKER_03: What about the Seahawks guy, Emily?
- 2:00SPEAKER_03: Didn't he make sixteen thousand dollars?
- 2:02SPEAKER_01: What about the thousands of people who bet their savings and lost?
- 2:36SPEAKER_03: We don't talk about those guys.
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: No, Brandon, we should be talking about these guys.
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: Here's the thing about the crypto story and the Seahawk story.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: Those are the exceptions.
- 2:46SPEAKER_01: Nobody wins$16,000 in a night except these few exceptions.
- 2:50SPEAKER_01: Nobody posts, I lost all my rent money on a parlay, because that's what happens most of the time.
- 2:56SPEAKER_02: Okay, but the possibility.
- 2:58SPEAKER_01: The possibility is keeping people broke, Austin.
- 3:02SPEAKER_01: That's the trap.
- 3:03SPEAKER_03: Okay, this is getting spicy.
- 3:05SPEAKER_03: Austin, hit back.
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: Bon, you want to talk about what's keeping people broke?
- 3:08SPEAKER_02: Let's talk about inflation.
- 3:10SPEAKER_02: Let's talk about rising housing prices.
- 3:12SPEAKER_02: Our generation just has been given a harder situation than ever.
- 3:15SPEAKER_02: You want us to wait 30 years and just trust the market?
- 3:18SPEAKER_01: And I hear that.
- 3:18SPEAKER_01: But does betting your money fix housing prices?
- 3:21SPEAKER_01: Does it fix inflation?
- 3:22SPEAKER_01: Or does it just give you a rush while the apps take your money from you?
- 3:25SPEAKER_03: Okay, Emily, talk about the platforms.
- 3:28SPEAKER_03: I feel like this is your villain origin story.
- 3:30SPEAKER_01: Why is sports betting so popular?
- 3:32SPEAKER_01: Why is crypto so addictive?
- 3:34SPEAKER_01: It's not just because people are winning, it's because of dopamine.
- 3:37SPEAKER_03: Explain dopamine to me.
- 3:38SPEAKER_01: Dopamine.
- 3:39SPEAKER_01: It's the chemical your brain releases when something exciting happens.
- 3:42SPEAKER_01: You check your crypto and your portfolio's up, dopamine hit.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: You win a game?
- 3:46SPEAKER_01: Dopamine hit.
- 3:46SPEAKER_01: You get a like on Instagram?
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: Dopamine.
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: It's all the same cycle.
- 3:50SPEAKER_03: So my brain is literally addicted?
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: I mean, potentially.
- 3:53SPEAKER_01: The apps know this.
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: Psychologists develop these apps like they do casinos.
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: They have the confetti, they have the notifications, the free bets.
- 4:03SPEAKER_01: They're all designed to pull you back in, just like they do at casinos.
- 4:06SPEAKER_02: Okay, but you can say the same thing about any app.
- 4:09SPEAKER_01: Sure, but these other apps aren't taking your money when you lose.
- 4:13SPEAKER_01: Some studies show that crypto and sports betting can be just as addictive as some drugs.
- 4:18SPEAKER_01: That's not a small thing, Austin.
- 4:20SPEAKER_03: Oh, that freaks me out a little bit.
- 4:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean it is super satisfying.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: I'm just saying.
- 4:25SPEAKER_03: Alright, I want to stress test both of you.
- 4:28SPEAKER_03: What is the worst case scenario for both of you guys?
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: Market crash, like in 2008.
- 4:33SPEAKER_01: You could lose like 30, 40% of your whole portfolio.
- 4:36SPEAKER_03: That sounds bad.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it is bad, but historically, the market has recovered.
- 4:41SPEAKER_01: You just can't panic and sell and you'll be fine.
- 4:44SPEAKER_03: Okay, Austin, worst case for your plan.
- 4:46SPEAKER_03: I mean, worst case you lose everything.
- 4:49SPEAKER_03: Everything?
- 4:50SPEAKER_03: Everything.
- 4:51SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 4:51SPEAKER_01: Okay, but the difference is the floor.
- 4:53SPEAKER_01: With the SP 500, the floor is really low.
- 4:56SPEAKER_01: The whole economy would have to collapse before you lost everything.
- 4:59SPEAKER_01: With something like a parlay or a bet, the floor is zero.
- 5:03SPEAKER_03: That's a pretty big difference, bro.
- 5:04SPEAKER_03: It's fine.
- 5:05SPEAKER_03: Great.
- 5:06SPEAKER_03: You guys both made some great arguments.
- 5:08SPEAKER_03: So$50 for dopamine,$50 to invest.
- 5:12SPEAKER_03: Uh let's I'm gonna take my$50 and put it into some Chipotle.
