Latest / The Paul Barron Crypto Show / Trump Stakes $30 Million Ethereum!🚀ETH To $10,000?🔥
Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: Steaking is about to explode on ethereum. You guys do
- 0:10Speaker 1: not want to miss it. My name is Paul Barron,
- 0:11Speaker 1: Welcome back in the tech path. I want to thank
- 0:13Speaker 1: our sponsor today and that of course is Lake three.
- 0:16Speaker 1: If you guys want to check this one out. This
- 0:17Speaker 1: is an access to RDVAS without tokenization. Lake three offers
- 0:22Speaker 1: a revolutionary multi utility token bridging the gap between the
- 0:25Speaker 1: water industry and blockchain without tokenizing the water itself. You
- 0:30Speaker 1: guys can buy sales, secure and donate water or invest
- 0:33Speaker 1: in the water resources, all available over on their website.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Also check out their water launch pad. This is where
- 0:38Speaker 1: you can get into ownership of the water industry. This
- 0:41Speaker 1: is another RWA use case in utility. So just visit
- 0:46Speaker 1: Lake three, which is LAK three dot io. You can
- 0:48Speaker 1: visit their website, learn a little bit more about what
- 0:50Speaker 1: they're doing there along with their roadmap into the future,
- 0:54Speaker 1: and see exactly where the project is heading. Also check
- 0:57Speaker 1: them out over on x and that is lak e
- 1:00Speaker 1: Underscore LAK three. So check out the RBA project as
- 1:05Speaker 1: it starts to move into kind of a new area
- 1:07Speaker 1: of utility. All right, so let's jump into this first
- 1:10Speaker 1: tweet right here. Donald Trump is now starting to stake eth.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Let me say that again. The President of the USA
- 1:17Speaker 1: is staking ethereum. And of course you can kind of
- 1:19Speaker 1: see what World Liberty is doing right there. And if
- 1:22Speaker 1: you look at their transaction history, you can see it
- 1:25Speaker 1: right there on their asset allocation with steak teth holding
- 1:29Speaker 1: it about thirty two million now. Granted, sure they got
- 1:31Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty two million right now in ETH
- 1:33Speaker 1: as their lead platform, and if you look at Ethereum overall,
- 1:37Speaker 1: almost three hundred and fifty six million overall, so very
- 1:40Speaker 1: powerful on the ETH.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Train for sure.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Pretty insane that Trump has steaked eth before the Ethereum Foundation.
- 1:46Speaker 1: So people are getting in on this one. Kind of
- 1:49Speaker 1: fun because there was a lot of tweets about this
- 1:50Speaker 1: lido of course jumping in, wait a minute, what's going on?
- 1:53Speaker 1: And then of course you've got Constantine talking about, hey,
- 1:57Speaker 1: well maybe we could do something like, you know, the
- 2:00Speaker 1: second Foundation for Ethereum. So what he's talking about there
- 2:02Speaker 1: is a project that is called p twop dot org
- 2:05Speaker 1: and they get into some interesting things here and this
- 2:08Speaker 1: is everything around staking not only just for ethereum but
- 2:13Speaker 1: other assets as well. So could we start to see
- 2:16Speaker 1: a renaissance here for staking in ets all of this.
- 2:19Speaker 1: If Trump starts to really understand what staking means, that
- 2:23Speaker 1: probably is more likely Eric Trump, because he's I think,
- 2:26Speaker 1: leading the digital asset side of things. This could be
- 2:28Speaker 1: pretty big for Ethereum as a whole. Here's, of course
- 2:32Speaker 1: Justin Sun saying hey, I know what we can do
- 2:34Speaker 1: with the ETH Foundation under his leadership. He's got a
- 2:37Speaker 1: brand new plan to get ETH to ten thousand. First
- 2:41Speaker 1: week is halty sales. Okay, some of these are pretty
- 2:44Speaker 1: good ideas, though heavily tax layer two solutions, So I
- 2:48Speaker 1: think that would be interesting. Streamline the foundation operations that
- 2:52Speaker 1: should be done anyway, adjust rewards and increase fee burns,
- 2:55Speaker 1: and then of course that would be I don't know
- 2:57Speaker 1: about that one exactly, but point being is you got
- 3:00Speaker 1: to remember Justin Stun runs you know a blockchain hal
- 3:04Speaker 1: writing tron and do we take that or not. Maybe
- 3:07Speaker 1: there's some good ideas here though, So I would just
- 3:09Speaker 1: look at it as a potential that we're getting a
- 3:12Speaker 1: lot of effort around Ethereum as a whole to try
- 3:15Speaker 1: to get things to the next level. Now I've got
- 3:16Speaker 1: a clip here from Davos that breaks down a little
- 3:20Speaker 1: bit more around what's happening in the industry right now,
- 3:23Speaker 1: especially Trump cooin.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Take a look, let's talk about the meme cooin.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Then. The reason I believe it hurts the industry is
- 3:29Speaker 3: that you have older people in politics, older people in
- 3:33Speaker 3: policymaking that still do not understand the industry. And I
- 3:36Speaker 3: want the people who are getting introduced to the industry
- 3:40Speaker 3: to meet Brian Armstrong. I don't want them to meet
- 3:43Speaker 3: the ideas behind the Trump memecoin and the potential negative
- 3:48Speaker 3: things that are associated with the Trump meancoin.
- 3:50Speaker 4: I think.
- 3:50Speaker 3: I just think it's going to slow down some people
- 3:53Speaker 3: in the regulatory process.
- 3:54Speaker 5: Yeah, it's my thing. I don't think it's just for
- 3:57Speaker 5: government or for regulators to tell financial shall consumers which
- 4:01Speaker 5: products should come and which products should not be used.
- 4:04Speaker 5: Our duty as regulators is to make sure that the
- 4:07Speaker 5: products that are they are transparent, they are fair to consumers,
- 4:12Speaker 5: and not consumers understand that the products that they are
- 4:14Speaker 5: involved in.
- 4:15Speaker 2: It's not for.
- 4:15Speaker 5: Governments to decide which product we.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Do not regulate, product we regulate activity.
- 4:20Speaker 5: It's not for governments to decide to even campaign and
- 4:23Speaker 5: says these products and not this product. I don't think
- 4:26Speaker 5: that that is the space that regulation should be.
- 4:29Speaker 1: All right, So of course that was Anthony's karamchie. He's
- 4:32Speaker 1: speaking I think a little bit from the Skybridge side
- 4:34Speaker 1: of things that his investment platform. And I think you know,
- 4:38Speaker 1: when you do look at investors that are in the
- 4:40Speaker 1: boomer crown, I don't. I'm not talking about age, but
- 4:43Speaker 1: he did mention older and younger consumers. And I think
- 4:47Speaker 1: the point being is that when you look at it,
- 4:49Speaker 1: not only ethereum, but you look at social and the
- 4:52Speaker 1: construct of what's happening in blockchain, all of this is
- 4:55Speaker 1: moving into a next generation of investors and they're doing
- 4:58Speaker 1: things completely different. So you just have to remember that,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and I think that will set you forward. With that
- 5:04Speaker 1: being the case, I want you to take a look
- 5:06Speaker 1: at this right here. This is full stack anime. You
- 5:08Speaker 1: guys know who Azuki is. If you're following our channel,
- 5:10Speaker 1: you probably know a little bit about NFTs. We've talked
- 5:12Speaker 1: about these before, but they went out and purchased anime
- 5:16Speaker 1: dot com.
- 5:16Speaker 2: So this is going.
- 5:17Speaker 1: To help one foster the potential of distribution and then
- 5:22Speaker 1: eventually infrastructure that's going to ride on anime chain, which
- 5:25Speaker 1: is a pretty interesting thing here.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Now I want to jump to another clip.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Here, and this clip is the Azuki founder talking about
- 5:32Speaker 1: anime coin.
- 5:33Speaker 6: Listen it and back in the day when we used
- 5:36Speaker 6: to share things on social media, right, hashtag, this hashtag,
- 5:39Speaker 6: that the hashtag? What did that allow us to do?
- 5:42Speaker 6: The hashtag allowed us to share a piece of culture
- 5:46Speaker 6: with other people, whatever the trending topic was. It made
- 5:48Speaker 6: us feel involved. Now, with the ticker and web three,
- 5:53Speaker 6: what we have is not only being able to share
- 5:57Speaker 6: the culture, now we can own a piece of the culture.
- 6:00Speaker 6: So that is an The ticker is this generation's hashtag.
- 6:04Speaker 6: The anime fan base has a community of over a
- 6:08Speaker 6: billion people worldwide. What anime coin does is it tokenizes
- 6:13Speaker 6: the strength and the power of the anime fandom and
- 6:17Speaker 6: gives it back to the fans and creators that help
- 6:20Speaker 6: shape the culture. What do we want to become? Who
- 6:23Speaker 6: do we want to be in terms of our digital identity?
- 6:26Speaker 6: And most people want to be anime characters the PfP
- 6:32Speaker 6: or if you're a VTuber, right, you want to be
- 6:35Speaker 6: an anime character?
- 6:36Speaker 7: Why do you think?
- 6:37Speaker 2: Why do you think that is? Because it just looks sick.
- 6:39Speaker 6: It's just I don't know how to explain it.
- 6:41Speaker 2: It just looks sick.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Up a lot of good points, all right, So he
- 6:45Speaker 1: had on a lot of things there, and I think
- 6:46Speaker 1: this is where it pieces together the statement that Scaramochi said,
- 6:50Speaker 1: and it really is kind of out of position right
- 6:53Speaker 1: now of what the current market is, especially around new investors,
- 6:58Speaker 1: and the Zuki founder hit it right there on the head.
- 7:00Speaker 1: This is a culture shift, and I think that is
- 7:03Speaker 1: the thing that crypto and the ticker has started to reframe.
- 7:07Speaker 1: So get ready, we're going to see some things happening.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And of course anime token is launching on January twenty third,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and there you go the anime image.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Just because it looks sick. I like that one.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I want to go to another clip here, and this
- 7:20Speaker 1: next one is going to get into a little bit
- 7:22Speaker 1: of detail around NFTs pairing up with these meme tokens
- 7:26Speaker 1: and why that matters.
- 7:27Speaker 2: This is Luca Nette's take a look.
- 7:29Speaker 4: I think meme coins have a pmth and a ability
- 7:33Speaker 4: to garner a trunch of liquidity that NFTs will never
- 7:36Speaker 4: be able to capture. However, I think NFTs are a
- 7:39Speaker 4: better form of distribution, and a better form of tribalism,
- 7:43Speaker 4: and a better form of flexing than I think any
- 7:47Speaker 4: mean coin can be. I actually believe the pairing of
- 7:50Speaker 4: the two is the deadliest combo. I e Y pengu
- 7:54Speaker 4: and Pudgie penguins now exist in tandem. And so today
- 7:57Speaker 4: our ecosystem is worth five billion dollars, and I think
- 8:01Speaker 4: over the course of the coming months, I think it
- 8:02Speaker 4: will be worth twenty or thirty or forty billion dollars.
- 8:06Speaker 4: I think the abstract NFT ecosystem might be the thing
- 8:09Speaker 4: that brings back NFTs, because every good NFT project that's
- 8:12Speaker 4: released in the last year or is going to release,
- 8:14Speaker 4: is releasing on abstract. If you thought Walmart was special,
- 8:17Speaker 4: I think these next few things that you will see
- 8:18Speaker 4: will be even more special and even more groundbreaking for
- 8:21Speaker 4: the entire industry. So there's a couple projects still doing well.
- 8:24Speaker 4: Have to give credit to a Zooki's and Doodles, all.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Right, So Luca first hits on a lot of things.
- 8:31Speaker 1: They're want to think, Yes, there's some other projects out there.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Obviously what he's talking about with Abstract that's getting ready
- 8:37Speaker 1: to roll out as well, that will impact NFTs in
- 8:40Speaker 1: a big way. And if you step back and look
- 8:42Speaker 1: at what Trump did with the Trump token. I want
- 8:46Speaker 1: you to follow something here. Just go over Magic Eden
- 8:48Speaker 1: and if you scan down, if you go into the
- 8:51Speaker 1: polygon chain, you can see it right there. Trump Digital
- 8:53Speaker 1: Trading Cards. Now that's still one of the top collections
- 8:57Speaker 1: out there. And imagine pairing that. What new Luka was
- 9:00Speaker 1: talking about there is pairing NFTs with the tokens themselves,
- 9:04Speaker 1: just like budget penguins and pengu That's a perfect example
- 9:08Speaker 1: of what Trump has been able to do. So back
- 9:11Speaker 1: to the whole point here, this is all going to
- 9:13Speaker 1: move I think blockchain forward really to what most likely
- 9:18Speaker 1: will be the next generation of investors. And it's going
- 9:21Speaker 1: to happen in a very very different way for sure.
- 9:23Speaker 1: All Right, So how's that going to happen. There's a
- 9:25Speaker 1: couple of things that you have to think about. What
- 9:26Speaker 1: is going to be an adoption curve that you need
- 9:28Speaker 1: to make all this kind of come to reality. Davos
- 9:33Speaker 1: is starting to talk about this now. Davas is a big,
- 9:36Speaker 1: huge economic forum that's held in Switzerland every year, and
- 9:41Speaker 1: there were some interesting things said.
- 9:42Speaker 2: I want to go to a clip, take a look.
- 9:44Speaker 7: Hi, thanks for the panel of My name is yet I'm
- 9:46Speaker 7: chairman and co founder of animal brands active in the
- 9:48Speaker 7: crypto space. As an industry, what do you think we
- 9:51Speaker 7: can do as an industry so we can build a
- 9:53Speaker 7: kind of confidence that we can actually onboard the billions?
- 9:56Speaker 7: And when do you think this will happen? Thank you,
- 9:57Speaker 7: that's a great question. So let's talk about mass adoption, Jenny,
- 10:00Speaker 7: do you want to.
- 10:01Speaker 8: Well, I actually think one of the challenges today is
- 10:04Speaker 8: unfortunately you have to build a whole separate infrastructure to
- 10:08Speaker 8: be you know, a wallet. By the way, those securities
- 10:10Speaker 8: don't fit in the wallet, need the tokenizations and unless
- 10:13Speaker 8: your clients are breaking down the door, frankly, they're opening
- 10:17Speaker 8: up at coinbase. And so I think actually this lack
- 10:20Speaker 8: of wallet has been one of the challenges. It hasn't
- 10:23Speaker 8: been integrated on the platforms across the board, and there
- 10:26Speaker 8: hasn't been enough incentive to do it.
- 10:28Speaker 9: It's still a little too complicated. I mean, there's these
- 10:30Speaker 9: addresses that they don't look like human readable, they look
- 10:33Speaker 9: like random strings of number numbers and letters. The whole
- 10:36Speaker 9: concept of private keys and like potentially losing your money
- 10:39Speaker 9: like this is a non starter to get to billions
- 10:41Speaker 9: of people, I think.
- 10:43Speaker 1: All right, So I think that is the been you know,
- 10:45Speaker 1: it's been the scenario that's been playing out, you know,
- 10:48Speaker 1: within the crypto community for a while. But getting to
- 10:51Speaker 1: the next stage is going to take the millennials, the
- 10:55Speaker 1: gen X and the boomer audiences to start to see
- 10:57Speaker 1: that going forward. And if you look at, you know,
- 10:59Speaker 1: some of the statement it's out there, this tweet, no
- 11:01Speaker 1: more signature, spree, streamline transactions, no multiple signs.
- 11:04Speaker 2: I mean, this is the.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Problem that we have right now that lives within crypto.
- 11:09Speaker 1: It's a very complicated process and I would say very.
- 11:14Speaker 2: You know, it's very tedious.
- 11:15Speaker 1: In the sense of getting someone into it, of teaching
- 11:18Speaker 1: them how to use it in a wallet in itself,
- 11:20Speaker 1: even though there are some out there that are getting
- 11:22Speaker 1: a little bit more streamlined. But I think that is
- 11:24Speaker 1: the big one. Yatsu was definitely on track to kind
- 11:27Speaker 1: of hit on that. I want to go to another
- 11:29Speaker 1: point right here, and this is getting into the abstract
- 11:33Speaker 1: user demo that I think you guys might like to see.
- 11:35Speaker 2: Take a look, so as you can.
- 11:54Speaker 1: See right here on the abstract Maine Net there's just
- 11:57Speaker 1: showing some example of how rewards are being offered here.
- 12:01Speaker 1: This of course is on ethereum and if you look
- 12:04Speaker 1: at Flow, They've been actually doing this for quite some time,
- 12:07Speaker 1: so this is a very similar possibility. And I think
- 12:10Speaker 1: there are some interesting comparisons here that will play out
- 12:14Speaker 1: with both of these chains, so be on the lookout
- 12:16Speaker 1: for those. Now we hit this on a tweet we
- 12:19Speaker 1: put out just the other day, breaking Flow becomes a
- 12:21Speaker 1: first chain to have full interoperability seventy chains, all this
- 12:26Speaker 1: powered by the Axelar slack our stack. So remember we
- 12:29Speaker 1: had to acile our team on talking about this very
- 12:31Speaker 1: issue and that they were about ready to roll out
- 12:33Speaker 1: with Flow and many others, and of course that is
- 12:36Speaker 1: now reality.
- 12:37Speaker 2: It's starting to go.
- 12:38Speaker 1: So this is going to be big for the industry
- 12:40Speaker 1: because this can really kind of take it to the
- 12:41Speaker 1: next level. Here's Axlar talking about this. With axelr mds,
- 12:46Speaker 1: possibilities to extend far beyond simple bridges or oracles. A
- 12:50Speaker 1: user could send a message on Telegram, balance it on
- 12:53Speaker 1: vault containing collectibles that are stored on Flow, and then
- 12:56Speaker 1: all of that can turn and interact with games on
- 12:59Speaker 1: immutable or a DeFi app. Now, I know many of
- 13:02Speaker 1: you are watching that going what did he just say?
- 13:04Speaker 1: Simply meaning that the interoperability between chains platforms. DeFi right now,
- 13:10Speaker 1: banks do this kind of today, but it's very clunky.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Even banks today that have been building a system for
- 13:16Speaker 1: forty years, this technology is now here for blockchains. So
- 13:21Speaker 1: I think this is just and we are at the
- 13:22Speaker 1: very beginning. So it's just the beginning of where we're
- 13:25Speaker 1: going to see all of this kind of jump to
- 13:27Speaker 1: next level. If you look at flow there evm over
- 13:30Speaker 1: on deck screen or right here yesterday, this just launched yesterday.
- 13:34Speaker 1: This only had a handful of tokens on it, and
- 13:36Speaker 1: already we've started to see Trump come on here, Avo, Beta, Pump,
- 13:40Speaker 1: Pepe's on here. But this is the point I'm getting at,
- 13:43Speaker 1: is that we are in the very early stages of
- 13:45Speaker 1: some very interesting things starting to roll in. I want
- 13:48Speaker 1: to go to another clip real quick now. This clip
- 13:50Speaker 1: is going to get into again. Back to Davos and
- 13:53Speaker 1: talk about a little bit more on the stable coin
- 13:55Speaker 1: side of things, because this will also play into things
- 13:58Speaker 1: like yields, etc.
- 13:59Speaker 3: Take a look uncertainty about that fungibility, that dollar fungibility,
- 14:04Speaker 3: I think is cause a little bit of a slow down, Like.
- 14:06Speaker 8: Take our money market fund. There are massive stable coins
- 14:10Speaker 8: out there that are completely unregulated that transact all over
- 14:13Speaker 8: the world. Oh, by the way, the owners of the
- 14:17Speaker 8: stable coin collect all the yield to themselves. None of
- 14:20Speaker 8: that goes out to the participants. The moment the yield
- 14:23Speaker 8: is paid out to the participants, that becomes a security
- 14:26Speaker 8: and then gets regulated, and therefore there's been no growth.
- 14:29Speaker 8: So I'd actually argue that billions and billions of dollars
- 14:32Speaker 8: have been robbed for individuals by not getting the yield
- 14:36Speaker 8: on their own money.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I want you to remember what she just said there,
- 14:40Speaker 1: robbed by not getting yields on their own dollars. You
- 14:43Speaker 1: look at what's happening on the global dollar network. This
- 14:45Speaker 1: of course is USDG tying this in with what's going
- 14:48Speaker 1: on with Robin Hood, Kraken, etc. The opportunity here is
- 14:53Speaker 1: going to be interesting because this is going to open
- 14:55Speaker 1: up the opportunity of some of these some of these
- 14:57Speaker 1: entities to be launching their real stable coins, be able
- 15:00Speaker 1: to offer those kinds of yields. It's going to shift.
- 15:02Speaker 1: This is a cataclysmic shift in how finance is going
- 15:06Speaker 1: to be done, especially around yield. Now, privacy is another
- 15:09Speaker 1: one that factors into all of this, because privacy is
- 15:12Speaker 1: going to be needed if we're going to really deploy blockchain,
- 15:15Speaker 1: and there's been some reasons behind that. I'll get to
- 15:17Speaker 1: that in a second, but I want to go to
- 15:18Speaker 1: this clip real quick.
- 15:20Speaker 10: We were sort of stalled in doing any work on
- 15:23Speaker 10: privacy because of concerns around Tornado cash and all the
- 15:26Speaker 10: issues that came up. We need to get to the
- 15:27Speaker 10: place where we're actually focusing on that ease of use
- 15:30Speaker 10: the UX design, but also bringing privacy into it, and
- 15:33Speaker 10: then it becomes easy for mass adoption.
- 15:36Speaker 2: All right.
- 15:36Speaker 1: So they even mentioned Tornado cash there, but this was
- 15:39Speaker 1: just in a statement. This was by Roman Storm. I
- 15:41Speaker 1: just want to let her by no Vitallic is a
- 15:43Speaker 1: true warrior who's been trying to help Alexi in me
- 15:46Speaker 1: for the past two and a half. This is Tornado cash,
- 15:48Speaker 1: and you know the thing here that they are getting at.
- 15:51Speaker 1: And remember, Tornado cash just got overturned by a court
- 15:55Speaker 1: just this week. So there are signs right now around
- 15:59Speaker 1: privacy that are going to get very interesting if you
- 16:01Speaker 1: look at that, and then you compare to what's happening
- 16:05Speaker 1: in the idea of government efficiency, because this is one
- 16:08Speaker 1: of the first initiatives that's out there, and of course
- 16:11Speaker 1: that is what Elon's heading up, but establishing and implementing
- 16:14Speaker 1: the President's Department of Government Efficiency. This is happening now.
- 16:18Speaker 1: And what does that mean and what does it do
- 16:20Speaker 1: to blockchain? Well, there's a lot of efficiencies that blockchain
- 16:23Speaker 1: will represent. Privacy has been one of the problems though
- 16:28Speaker 1: that has been presented for us to be able to
- 16:30Speaker 1: make that happen. Now, I want to go over here
- 16:32Speaker 1: and show you guys. This is a clip Pier real
- 16:35Speaker 1: quick of John Stewart talking about It's kind of an
- 16:38Speaker 1: interesting one that will apply to what I'm saying here
- 16:40Speaker 1: in a second.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 16:42Speaker 11: The ability to pass an audit or in the fact
- 16:44Speaker 11: that the DoD has not passing on it is not
- 16:46Speaker 11: suggestive of.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Waste, fraud and abuse.
- 16:49Speaker 11: That is completely false right there. Now is a question
- 16:54Speaker 11: of it's suggestive that we can't we don't have an
- 16:57Speaker 11: accurate inventory that we can pull up of what we
- 17:00Speaker 11: have where.
- 17:02Speaker 12: In my world, yeah, that's waste.
- 17:06Speaker 11: How is that waste?
- 17:07Speaker 12: If I give you a billion dollars and you can't
- 17:10Speaker 12: tell me what happened to it, that to me is wasteful. Now,
- 17:13Speaker 12: I may not understand exactly the ins and outs and
- 17:17Speaker 12: the incredible magic of an audit. But I'm a human
- 17:22Speaker 12: being who lives on the earth and can't figure out
- 17:25Speaker 12: how eight hundred and fifty billion dollars to a department
- 17:29Speaker 12: means that the rank and file still have to be
- 17:31Speaker 12: on food stamps. Like, to me, that's fucking corruption. I'm sorry.
- 17:37Speaker 12: And if that blows your mind, and if you think
- 17:42Speaker 12: like that's like a crazy agenda for me to have,
- 17:45Speaker 12: I really think that that's institutional thinking.
- 17:50Speaker 1: You have to look at homeland security. This is a
- 17:51Speaker 1: good example right here science and tech. They are in
- 17:54Speaker 1: a position where if they're going to use blockchain, it
- 17:57Speaker 1: has to be secure. It ca has to be private
- 17:59Speaker 1: to a certain extent, well not even to a certain extent.
- 18:01Speaker 1: It has to be private because they can't have other governments,
- 18:04Speaker 1: other agencies, other entities out there kind of deep, deep
- 18:07Speaker 1: diving into what they're doing. So and I understand that,
- 18:10Speaker 1: and I think that's the thing that has really limited Ethereum,
- 18:13Speaker 1: at least in the beginning, to be able to do that,
- 18:15Speaker 1: because the privacy was one of the things that it
- 18:17Speaker 1: failed the test on. That of course has recently changed.
- 18:21Speaker 1: And remember this was done when they did their original
- 18:24Speaker 1: R and D around utilizing blockchain, and none of these passed,
- 18:28Speaker 1: you know, on confidentiality as you can see right there,
- 18:31Speaker 1: and that include a Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stellar, et cetera, many
- 18:34Speaker 1: including hashtograph. All right, so you guys will remember this
- 18:37Speaker 1: happened here just not too long ago, and this is
- 18:39Speaker 1: private transactions now crossing fifty percent of the block space.
- 18:43Speaker 1: So all of that being said, this is an evolution
- 18:47Speaker 1: of where blockchain is going, and I think that's the
- 18:49Speaker 1: advantage and the benefits that this technology continues to have.
- 18:53Speaker 1: So with all of what you've seen here, Ethereum could
- 18:57Speaker 1: be in a position right here to really make a
- 18:59Speaker 1: final move. Stay tuned right here. If you guys are
- 19:01Speaker 1: not in the diamond circle, get in on that. And
- 19:04Speaker 1: of course we always leave a link also to our
- 19:07Speaker 1: Telegram group. It's kind of a secret group we have,
- 19:10Speaker 1: but there's a link down below. You guys can click
- 19:12Speaker 1: that join me over there, And of course, if you're
- 19:15Speaker 1: not following me out there on X it's at Paul Baron.
- 19:17Speaker 1: We'll catch you next time right here on Techpath
