- 0:16with them. They've always got something
- 0:18going on. A lot of big, big news coming
- 0:19out of Vegas and their new office there.
- 0:21But of course, you know, well, you guys, you know what the
- 0:25show's about. You've got to appreciate.
- 0:26Of course. Today hosting is myself, Lance
- 0:28Maggio and George Ballantine rise and grind.

- 0:54the dynamics that influence economies across borders.
- 0:58George, how are you this morning, brother?
- 1:00I'm good, bro, I'm good. You know, I had PT this morning
- 1:03early, bright and early. It's cold.
- 1:05Out they're really, they're really working that knee, aren't
- 1:07they? Oh my God, it's actually getting
- 1:09like getting worse. I don't get it, but whatever.
- 1:12PT that's making it worse. Physical therapy is an
- 1:14interesting thing. A lot of people talk about how
- 1:16the beginning is always really brutal.
- 1:18So I'm sorry you're going through that.
- 1:19But listen, let's start a quick shout out for our buddies at
- 1:22Genesis Gold and their prepper bar, the 62.2.
- 1:25Excuse me. Oh, sorry about that guys.
- 1:29Choking a little bit. Let me have a sip of coffee.
- 1:31Let me fire this up. Break me off a piece of that
- 1:35prepper ball so. Of course, I'm holding up the
- 1:3762.2g prepper bore that George is doing his little Jingle about
- 1:41perforated easily broken down in your choice of three different
- 1:44denominations, you can't really see it, but there's three
- 1:46different dollar amounts size wise.
- 1:48So the idea is that if the US dollar fails, you've got your
- 1:52opportunity here to jump right in and have the prepper bar.
- 1:54Whether it's for asset protection, inflation, economic
- 1:56terminal, or its unique utility for barter and trade, Pepper Bar
- 2:00makes a perfect gift for all those precious metal stackers
- 2:03and lovers out there with our new holiday intro.
- 2:06The holidays are here. Grab that QR code.
- 2:08George makes it easy. Don't leave the show.
- 2:10We don't want you to leave while we're doing it, of course.
- 2:12But after the show, you can head right over there.
- 2:14It's available right now. They just had to restock again.
- 2:17They're available in gold and silver, and they fit perfectly
- 2:19in your wallet. This one's got a plastic
- 2:21protective case, but they are very thin and it's a perfect way
- 2:24to just have it in your wallet if you need it.
- 2:27So, of course, you can head over to the big bigbar.com.
- 2:30Grab these for your, you know, grandkids or your children.
- 2:32You know, it's a great item to give them for emergencies.
- 2:36We talk about always being prepared and having it and just
- 2:39in case you need it rather than needing it and not having it.
- 2:41Doesn't matter whether it's a satellite phone or bullion, it
- 2:44all makes sense. The Big bigbar.com George.
- 2:49Lance. So listen, there's a lot of
- 2:52stuff going in the cycle. I was looking at the Dow Jones
- 2:54this morning. It's up, but I see a lot of
- 2:58consolidation going on with the Dow.
- 2:59I don't know what that's about. It's interesting.
- 3:02A lot of people are talking about how it doesn't seem that
- 3:05maybe it's met, it's high for now, that we're not going to see
- 3:08any new highs out of the market. It's not that Donald Trump's not
- 3:11going to have a positive impact, but his main focus appears to be
- 3:14crypto, right? I don't know if it's going to be
- 3:18his main focus. I think his main focus overall
- 3:21is the economy overall. So whatever will help stimulate
- 3:26the economy and and continue to make it grow.
- 3:29That's what he's about South, whether it's about bringing
- 3:31businesses back over here to America, whether it's, you know,
- 3:36bringing crypto to the forefront here in the United States.
- 3:39He's about it getting rid of the immigrants so we have more money
- 3:43for. You and get rid of Gary Gensler.
- 3:45Yeah, I mean. Gensler's out of there, that's
- 3:49for sure. And that's going to be really
- 3:50beneficial to the crypto markets, the stock market, just
- 3:53about everything. I can tell you that the people
- 3:56behind the scenes, nobody is a fan of Gensler.
- 3:59The words stupid, ignorant, not a good business person, yadda,
- 4:05yadda, yadda. Those are the words that are
- 4:07used to describe them. But the people that are going to
- 4:09have some of the biggest impact are the people in the crypto
- 4:12vertical. He's been trying to use stock
- 4:13laws to manipulate and attack people in the crypto community
- 4:18and attack the market and it's not it's really done at a
- 4:20disservice. XR PS probably taken more of an
- 4:22attack than anybody else. You know, if you guys, the SEC
- 4:25lawsuit is interesting. For those out there that are
- 4:27those diggers, you might want to get an account on PACER and read
- 4:30through all the documents in that case because XRP has got
- 4:34over 3000 different agreements that are under NDA.
- 4:38It's somewhere in the neighborhood of 32 or 3300
- 4:40agreements. But they don't talk about him in
- 4:42the in the lawsuit. But they just mentioned them.
- 4:45And this is the first time, you know, XRP was under restriction.
- 4:49Brad Garlinghouse was being held back from really saying too
- 4:53much. We'll be talking about him a
- 4:54little later in the show. But right now, I think the
- 4:57people that benefit the most may very well be XRP.
- 5:01It seems like we're starting to get more trickle on the deals
- 5:04they've got. George, you found a story on an
- 5:06adoption of XRP in Japan and they're going to be implementing
- 5:10XRP, huh. Yeah.
- 5:11Well, this story came out I believe it was August, but you
- 5:15know, they said, you know, they're going to the adoption
- 5:18for XRP nationwide in Japan is going to be, you know, by 2025.
- 5:21And here we are, we're less than a month away, coming up to 2025
- 5:26S they're going to implement this XRP for all payments
- 5:30nationwide. All right, And this is going to
- 5:33have a significant digital currency strategy for Japan, but
- 5:38also it's going to you know, XRP is going to most likely it's
- 5:41going to go up and then once you see Japan, you know, implemented
- 5:46and it starts working going through who knows what the
- 5:48country is going to follow, but this is a strong point the.
- 5:51Press the press, George. That's around the globe because
- 5:55it's some of that. You're, you're right spot on.
- 5:58There are lots of countries that are adopting XRP and the
- 6:00agreements are already done. But XRP, obviously the holding
- 6:04company Ripple has been unable to announce those.
- 6:07Now, these are all part of the Ripples X Rapid and Ripple Net
- 6:11Technologies. For the people out there that
- 6:12aren't aware of it, of course, you know, they just rolled out
- 6:15the brand new Ripple USD, which they're calling the RLUSD, and
- 6:19that's a new stable coin that's pegged to the US dollar and
- 6:22that's expanding the utility of the XRP Ledger.
- 6:26But these other 3000 contracts are going to be announced.
- 6:29It's interesting, you know, normally a publicly traded
- 6:30company gets an opportunity to announce one item every, you
- 6:34know, so 345678 weeks if they're lucky.
- 6:37And that's, let's face it, it's earnings and it's announcements
- 6:40that propel stocks to the forefront.
- 6:42XRP hasn't had that benefit originally on.
- 6:44Here's an interesting thing, George, what you probably know
- 6:46this, George, the market cap of XRP five years ago, the only
- 6:53thing that was bigger was Bitcoin.
- 6:54It was Bitcoin and XRP. They were at the top of the
- 6:56market caps that were out there. And it's difficult to analyze
- 7:00market cap in crypto. It's not really what propels it.
- 7:04But the amount of news that XRP is sitting on the brand new
- 7:07RULUSD would appear that all this development is going to
- 7:11really enhance liquidity and XR PS Ledger is really going to be
- 7:15positioned of what I would say in a powerful position in the
- 7:18global financial market. This, this legal battle, it's
- 7:21been ongoing, it's gone. It's not going to happen.
- 7:25I think the SE CS initial demand was like over $2 billion.
- 7:29Now it sounds like Ripple's going to get some kind of a
- 7:31civil penalty for like 125 million, something to that
- 7:35effect. I would consider this a major
- 7:37legal victory. And I believe that there are
- 7:40many people that sat on the sidelines, George, waiting for
- 7:43this SEC ruling. I mean, don't you think a lot of
- 7:45more, a lot more deals are going to be coming forward for XRP?
- 7:49Oh, most definitely. Listen, once it's all like
- 7:52you're saying, Lance, once it all gets handled in the courts
- 7:54and you know, it's all BS anyway, but it's just going to
- 7:58be a domino effect for XRP. And yeah, I think so.
- 8:03I think so too. I mean, it, it's, it's stable.
- 8:07You know, you don't, there's really not that much
- 8:09discrepancies in with XRP. So you know, it's a big
- 8:14difference between a stable coin and, let's say, like Bitcoin,
- 8:16right? In a sense.
- 8:18Well, I mean XRP's coin, they've got the stable coin and then
- 8:21they have the XRP coin. So you can't compare the the
- 8:25regular XRP coin. But I do believe what you just
- 8:27said is accurate. There's a lot of questions about
- 8:30the liquidity and the finances of Tether as an example.
- 8:33Nobody is questioning the money that XRP is sitting on or their
- 8:37liquidity, which I think is extremely important because
- 8:39transparency of what's what really makes a cryptocurrency
- 8:43valuable. You know, you've got the meme
- 8:44coins, which some people like to call them, I won't say it, but
- 8:47the crap coins on one end. And then you've got the far
- 8:51other end, which would be your stable coins that are that
- 8:53actually peg the gold or you know, or in this case the US
- 8:57dollar, you know, So I think it's interesting.
- 9:00I think what we're going to see is the utility.
- 9:02You know, a lot of people say this, George, here's the
- 9:04comment. A lot of people behind the
- 9:06scenes say, well, Bitcoin needs the blockchain, but the
- 9:08blockchain doesn't need Bitcoin. And XRP is really an integral
- 9:13part of the blockchain. And they've got a plan to really
- 9:16speed up their transactional ability.
- 9:18I think right now they can do 10,010 transactions a second and
- 9:22they plan on, we're increasing that with some of this once this
- 9:26SEC thing's settled. So I think we're going to see
- 9:28some tremendous great news on the forefront.
- 9:30Of course, this isn't financial advice.
- 9:32This is just giving you the information.
- 9:34You can always talk to your financial advisors, go from
- 9:35there. We're not anything on this show,
- 9:37we're not financial advisors. We just want to put the
- 9:39information out there, you know, so.
- 9:41I have a question in in the chat and we always like to and it's
- 9:44financial questions. So we were asked, what are your
- 9:47thoughts on Trump's threat of 100% tariffs on BRICS nations
- 9:51not using U.S. Treasuries?
- 9:55Well, here's what I think. I think.
- 9:56I think Trump is a very shrewd business person.
- 10:00And you wouldn't be able to threaten the BRICS nations with
- 10:04a kinetic event like a war. So what are you left with?
- 10:07You're left with financial tools and since BRICS hasn't
- 10:10completely taken off yet, meaning it hasn't been fully
- 10:13implemented, although those countries have made a large
- 10:16investment into BRICS future. I would think that what he's
- 10:20trying to do is make sure that those countries, you know, if
- 10:24they're going to move into implementing anything.
- 10:26He doesn't want to move away from the dollar, but maybe
- 10:27there's some kind of a relationship between the US and
- 10:30BRICS. Maybe the maybe the stable
- 10:32currency attached to BRICS would be AUS dollar that wasn't Fiat
- 10:36based, maybe AUS dollar that was bullion based.
- 10:40So I don't know. I can't tell you that I
- 10:42understand Trump's policies. Here's what I do know and I'm
- 10:45going to give you guys an inside tip here.
- 10:46This is a tip behind the scenes. Yeah, listen closely behind the
- 10:50scenes. There are many people that are
- 10:52in the Trump circle that are talking about how proactive
- 10:58Trump is going to be in the crypto world.
- 11:00I think the next 3 1/2 to four years for the United States, the
- 11:03crypto world is going to explode here.
- 11:06He's talking about tax free zones, you know, because he's
- 11:09seen that Dubai has attacked this market because they want to
- 11:13possess this market. Dubai wants to possess it.
- 11:15Trump has got the same position and his three sons, Eric, Donald
- 11:19and Barron are all very entrenched into crypto.
- 11:23So I believe that part of the Trump dynasty, not only for the
- 11:26US but his own family is crypto. So when it comes to bricks, I
- 11:30think it bricks is a threat to anything and re establishing
- 11:34that the US is make America great again.
- 11:37I believe Trump's going to do whatever is necessary.
- 11:39Now, that being said, I think that he's smart enough to
- 11:42realize that those tariffs could have a negative effect on many
- 11:46small businesses here because it would drive the cost of goods
- 11:48way up, which could cause hyperinflation.
- 11:51So I think he's going to look at that and he's going to kind of
- 11:53take some poise. But he does have to try to stop
- 11:56them dead in their tracks because, you know, Joe Sniffy,
- 11:59sniffy pedal. Biden didn't do anything about
- 12:01that. He didn't make any attempt to
- 12:04slow them down. At the same time, you see what
- 12:07he's done with Ukraine. I don't think that was a smart
- 12:09move. I believe that the if we're if
- 12:12we're lucky, you know, and, and Biden and Harris don't do
- 12:15anything else stupid. Trump should be able to settle
- 12:17that. There's a lot of talks behind
- 12:19the scenes with Russia and Ukraine, and they're trying to
- 12:22come up with a reasonable understanding to stop what's
- 12:25going on there. But this, this money that keeps
- 12:26getting dumped in. So here's my end game.
- 12:28Trump will focus on trying to not allow bricks to destabilize
- 12:34the dollar because let's face it, that was the intent of
- 12:37bricks by the Russians and the Chinese was to take the US
- 12:39dollar and tank it. I think he's going to do
- 12:42everything about it. He knows how dangerous it is and
- 12:44I believe he's got a plan what that plan is at this point.
- 12:47Once George and I figure that out, if we do figure it out, we
- 12:49will definitely share it with you guys on this exact show all.
- 12:52Right, let me throw my opinion for this one.
- 12:54Please. Listen, bricks is what's the
- 12:58objective of bricks to undermine the US economy and the US
- 13:01dollar, which can hurt our overall well-being a country
- 13:05security. So 100% tariffs, I'm all for it.
- 13:09Whatever we got to do to make sure nobody undermines us or
- 13:11tries to, you know, take control of the United States, let's do
- 13:15it. We got to do it.
- 13:16We got to protect us, right? If it's tariffs, tariffs.
- 13:20I I think he's got a good plan I but I don't think it'll end up
- 13:23being tariffs. I have a feeling this will get
- 13:24settled out in another fashion. There's going to be some.
- 13:27Ideas. Well, there are some pretty
- 13:29interesting ideas and I got to tell you George, let's go.
- 13:31This takes us right into the next story here, which is, you
- 13:34know, Rumble board member, for you guys out there that don't
- 13:36know David Sachs, he's on the Rumble board, very close to
- 13:39Chris Plavoski. He's nominated as the White
- 13:42House AI and Cryptozar. That was a close call.
- 13:46It was between him and Brad Garlinghouse.
- 13:48I understand, but I can understand why maybe
- 13:50Garlinghouse might even pass because he's got his hands full
- 13:52with XRP. And XRP is a big part of what
- 13:56this administration is going to be doing because Donald Trump
- 13:59and his team have been talking to Brad.
- 14:01So I believe he's part of it. So David Sachs, great choice,
- 14:04smart guy, he's former CEO of PayPal.
- 14:08So you know, that was that's a great company.
- 14:10Of course, he did make some great decisions when it came to
- 14:12conservative America, but I understand what they were
- 14:14thinking. He's a venture capitalist and
- 14:16they're going to, he is the White House AI and Cryptozar as
- 14:19of this point. I don't know, George, let me ask
- 14:22you, because this is a brand new position, does he have to be,
- 14:25does his nomination have to be approved by Congress or is this
- 14:28one of those ones kind of like Elon Musk?
- 14:32I don't, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it's, I don't think
- 14:40there is a new position like where you need to be go through
- 14:44Congress or Senate to be affirmed, OK.
- 14:48It's more like I'm going to say it's more like an advisory.
- 14:52Yeah, in that sense, I think you're right.
- 14:54But listen, he's on the board with Rumble, everybody.
- 14:57What does that mean? That means, you know, kudos to
- 15:00Rumble. It means champion for our free
- 15:02speech, for your free speech. Because let's face it, can't go
- 15:06nowhere else to speak freely besides Rumble right now.
- 15:10No doubt, no doubt about that. That is that is a fact.
- 15:13Rumble and locals are one of the last bastions and really Rumble
- 15:16and you guys know that this show and our other show, the big big
- 15:18show are Rumbles, our home base. But this is just an interesting,
- 15:22you know, nomination, I guess and and and this guy is an
- 15:26expert. I'm excited 'cause I do think AI
- 15:29needs somebody overseeing it. Of course, this guy's knowledge
- 15:32of crypto is deep. He's going to try to centralized
- 15:34tech policy, enhance innovation, of course, and develop a legal
- 15:38framework for the crypto industry that does not include
- 15:40the SEC and misapplying our current laws.
- 15:44So it makes a lot of sense. It won't hold us back.
- 15:46I think you've got the media for the Trump announcement, right,
- 15:48George? I do Lance, I really do.
- 15:51Sorry, I was just checking on something.
- 15:53Let me just. Put it together with us so
- 15:54everybody can see it. Yeah, that's it.
- 15:57So it's just for you guys. I am, you know, he says.
- 15:59I am pleased to announce that David Osaks will be the White
- 16:01House AI and Cryptozar. In this important role, David
- 16:04will guide policy for the administration in artificial
- 16:07intelligence and cryptocurrency. Terraria's critical The future
- 16:10of American competitiveness so goes on, but.
- 16:13It's important that they finally put like I don't think anybody
- 16:17in the current administration is head of any AII haven't heard
- 16:22and I don't know I could be wrong.
- 16:23I, I have no idea, but this is actually good for us like, you
- 16:27know, to make sure AI doesn't take over like, you know, like
- 16:31and it's not bias like you see on with Google and stuff.
- 16:34So let's see what? Happens.
- 16:35Yeah, the the bias is what's terrible.
- 16:37And of course there are some serious dangers to AI.
- 16:41You know, people are concerned about self-awareness, you know,
- 16:43talking about Terminator Judgement Day kind of theory.
- 16:47But beyond that, what's dangerous is that the
- 16:49sophistication to make clone videos and and audio is becoming
- 16:54more and more. When I say it's learning and
- 16:58becoming extremely proficient, there will come a point that if
- 17:01they want to clone George Ballentine's voice, you won't be
- 17:05able to tell the difference, and that's what people are
- 17:06concerned. About They can clone your voice
- 17:09right now, Lance, pretty much. Yeah, but still, you can still
- 17:12test it and prove that it's not. I'm concerned that at one point
- 17:15George, it may be impossible to tell whether it's the real
- 17:18George Ballentine or a fake George Ballentine.
- 17:25I don't know, I think you'll be able to tell.
- 17:28Well, remember this computers, the the processing power of
- 17:31computers is exceeding, is excelling at a very, very high
- 17:35rate. We're now talking about petaflap
- 17:37fonts in digital conversions and the computer's ability to
- 17:42process speeds. So as that continues to
- 17:45increase, I don't know it people are very I've read a lot of
- 17:48articles about it. All we can do is wait and see.
- 17:50It's one of those wait and sees the approach.
- 17:52Hey, man, this is exciting for those people out there that want
- 17:55to have a fun way to get involved with crypto and don't
- 17:57know how to do it. A crypto millionaire has
- 18:00launched a nationwide treasure on George.
- 18:02Tell me about this. Man nationwide treasure hunt and
- 18:05hidden multiple Bitcoin worth more than 100,000 each.
- 18:09Whoa. So he's a pretty cool, He's a
- 18:12crypto millionaire, right? John Collins Black.
- 18:15He revealed last month that he concealed valuables ranging from
- 18:19Olympic gold medals, rare trading cards, historical
- 18:22artifacts and crypto in five puzzle boxes in his new book
- 18:27called There's Treasure Inside Collins Black.
- 18:32And he writes about the pricey objects that he hid.
- 18:34So, you know, you have to get the book actually.
- 18:37But just to let people know, and I'm going to quote him on this,
- 18:41he wanted to put more value in a treasure chest than ever before,
- 18:45right? Putting the hunt together took
- 18:47the better part of five years, Collins Black says on his
- 18:50website, adding that he designed it for anyone to whom the idea
- 18:54of solving clues, being in nature or finding a hidden
- 18:57treasure sounds appealing. Now just to state all the
- 19:01locations where the treasure is hidden is it's not in any unsafe
- 19:06areas, not near like like on the side of the road and nothing
- 19:10like that. They he made sure of that so and
- 19:13he spent over $2,000,000 on on this treasure Lance.
- 19:16OK, but but where did the idea to throw in a gold medal won by
- 19:20the Nigerian men's team at the 1996 Olympics?
- 19:23How did he choose to be the make that one of the prizes?
- 19:26And that's just. I mean, I mean, how many people
- 19:28get rid of their gold medal medallion, I mean.
- 19:31I don't know. I think it's probably, I think
- 19:33it's probably unusual, probably that most people don't keep
- 19:35them. But maybe these people, the guy
- 19:37that was on this team, passed away and that's how he got it.
- 19:39I mean, I know some of that stuff goes to auction, but he's
- 19:41actually got a rare for the Pokémon collectors out there.
- 19:44George. George, are you a Pokémon
- 19:45collector? No, I didn't think you were.
- 19:48I'm just messing with you, I guess.
- 19:51He's got a rare. He doesn't say which one it is.
- 19:53Is it Pikachu? Is it a Charmander or whatever?
- 19:56It's a rare holographic Pokémon card, but here's another one, a
- 19:5921 oz California Gold Nugget Nugget.
- 20:04George loves his gold. Let me say that, George one
- 20:07ounce. But wait, wait, how about this?
- 20:09I like this. This one I'd like to have.
- 20:11This is cool because you can put in like a little glass showcase,
- 20:14a glass once owned by George Washington.
- 20:18All right, you can have pretty dope.
- 20:19I tell you what. You can have a glass, you can
- 20:22have the glass. I'll take the Bitcoin.
- 20:24Yeah, no. How about a moon rock?
- 20:26Could you take a moon rock? I.
- 20:27Mean I'm not going to be greedy, I'll take whatever, but.
- 20:30Yeah, I, I got to be honest, the couple of those items are pretty
- 20:34cool. I think the glass owned by
- 20:35George Washington, as long as it's got the document, I don't
- 20:37know how they know that the glass was owned by George
- 20:39Washington. I don't know.
- 20:40Does that mean George Washington's saliva is on the
- 20:42glass? I don't know.
- 20:45Wait a minute. DNA.
- 20:46If there is DNA, you might be able to clone George Washington.
- 20:49What do you think? I think if George Washington got
- 20:53cloned and actually sees what the hell is going on with the
- 20:55government, he'd have a heart attack and die.
- 20:59Well, yeah, that's probably true.
- 21:01He would be sad at at a minimum he'd probably be very depressed.
- 21:04We are not the Republic that he first created, but OK, I guess.
- 21:07This was inspired by a 2010 treasure hunt that was similar
- 21:10by a guy named Forrest Fan. I don't know anything about it,
- 21:13but it took 10 years to find his treasure and it was so
- 21:16difficult. I guess a bunch of people died.
- 21:17So this guy has decided he doesn't want people to die.
- 21:20So he said all the boxers are located in safe places that are
- 21:22not dangerous to get to. All right, well, there's your
- 21:24chance. Bitcoin, George Washington
- 21:26glass, rare Pokémon card or maybe a Nigerian Olympic gold
- 21:30medal opportunity. Jump in there.
- 21:32You might want to go out there and get that book.
- 21:34We'll have to see if it's on Amazon.
- 21:35Maybe George and I'll get the book and we'll read some of it
- 21:37on the Big Meg show. We'll try to come up with the
- 21:39clues. Maybe the maybe the big Mig mod
- 21:41and our team there can help us find that stuff.
- 21:44Then we can share it with all the mods in the chat.
- 21:46That's, that's what we should do, George, buy a couple of
- 21:48those books, get into the mods and we all strategize where
- 21:50these items might be. We work as a team team.
- 21:53We put the T in Team George I. Think that'd be fun?
- 21:58It would be kind of fun. Maybe we should do it.
- 21:59Let's not find out about the books all.
- 22:01Right. I don't know if we could.
- 22:02I don't know if we could do this on air because then we're giving
- 22:05the clues and hints to other people and they might just run
- 22:08and get the treasurer. Maybe we should do a a telegram
- 22:11or a zoom room with all the mods and we.
- 22:13Also, we could do a zoom, we could do a zoom room, we could
- 22:15record it and then if we go out and look, we can also film that
- 22:19and then just put it all. I can put it all together, make
- 22:22turn. Rat dog into a Bloodhound.
- 22:23What do you think? I think she's going to.
- 22:25I think she's going to bite the shit out of you right now.
- 22:29Turn into a blood outage we'll put her out we'll go we'll have
- 22:31her go out with with you and just hit the spots after the
- 22:35team determines we find that we find the loot and we share the
- 22:38loot with all the mods. I think this is a good.
- 22:40Strategy. You know what?
- 22:41You know what I think I got? I think, I don't know, Farmer
- 22:45Jay Armat and Video Pizza. I think them too.
- 22:49They're very smart and I think. I like the idea.
- 22:54I think all of us, we all put our heads together, you know?
- 22:56We need to get some addresses, we need to get some books and
- 22:58let's get to work because the big Mig squad and the big Mig
- 23:01show could use that extra Rev We're we're all about it.
- 23:04Maybe then we could do is we could start a pool of investing
- 23:07for the whole chat room. We could do all of all of our
- 23:09crypto trading with them, create a separate wallet and then build
- 23:13it into massive wealth so we can all vacation together.
- 23:16I'm not saying anything. I wonder why?
- 23:18I know I don't know. All right, well, listen, you
- 23:21know we're going to, I know we're going to end up at George.
- 23:23Let's talk about this next one. It's pretty exciting.
- 23:26For those of you that haven't been living under a rock.
- 23:29Bitcoin had 100 GS, 100 GS. It's a Bitcoin milestone.
- 23:34In fact, I think it went to 102,000 and change.
- 23:38George, this is a big #102,000 Bitcoin.
- 23:40In 2022 when Andrew Tate was yelling at everybody to buy it
- 23:44was at 16,000 I believe. Was it?
- 23:50It's pretty low. It might have been 30,000.
- 23:51I can't remember the exact number, I remember the bottom.
- 23:5416 it hit 100,000 you know, Trump put put out a statement
- 23:57congratulate, but you know, then it became volatile.
- 24:00You know it, it dropped to over 6005 minutes and there's
- 24:06actually this is crazy leading to over a billion in
- 24:09liquidations within 24 hours. But you know, we've seen Bitcoin
- 24:13do this before, right? Remember it dropped to like, was
- 24:17it 36,000? It did drop to 30 what, 3016 at
- 24:22one point and then it also hit 30.
- 24:24Yeah, but it was in like sixties, 70s, and then it
- 24:26dropped to like 30, I think, something like that.
- 24:28But you know, it always makes people.
- 24:30Take some of their money off the table.
- 24:31They want to put some of that money in their pocket.
- 24:33They want to go buy a new exotic car, maybe a a super fresh
- 24:37$400,000 watch. I saw some guys online talking
- 24:39about all the stuff they're buying with their new Bitcoin.
- 24:42Saw one guy boasting about the fact that he is now a Bitcoin
- 24:44billionaire. Showed his wild he's got over a
- 24:47billion dollars in in his wallet.
- 24:49So the thing with this and it was 400 million long
- 24:52liquidations in one hour candle and this is the this was the
- 24:56largest liquidation event in years, $14,000 drop in a single
- 25:00day, which is huge, but you know what it's Bitcoin always seems
- 25:05to bounce back no matter what so.
- 25:07Yeah, well, there was a lot of long positions.
- 25:11People had gone long on Bitcoin and I think that that final long
- 25:14point was over 100. Ki saw a guy talking about how
- 25:17he turned 250,000, I think it was into 5 or $6,000,000 because
- 25:23he went long. Another guy was talking about he
- 25:25made a smaller investment. It was like 25 or 50 grand and
- 25:28he made a million too. So some of these long positions,
- 25:30you know, there are there are ways to play, you know, puts
- 25:33calls and options on Bitcoin and of course people are going along
- 25:38and they're shorting it. So I guess we'll have to wait
- 25:40and see. There's a lot of people that
- 25:41think it may have topped out for now.
- 25:43But is that true? Who knows?
- 25:44This market is just so funky. And you know what, that last
- 25:48thing, the identity of of the Satoshi Nakamoto, they say it's
- 25:55a guy in prison and they say that his wallet has $61 billion
- 25:59worth of Bitcoin in it and that he may never be able to access
- 26:02it again or anybody else will. So that would take a tremendous
- 26:05amount of Bitcoin right off the table, 'cause when you lose your
- 26:07seed phrase of your wallet, you ain't getting it back.
- 26:10You're in deep Doo Doo. So listen, we're probably gonna
- 26:14take a short break here 'cause I know George.
- 26:16I know how he likes to be punctual on brakes.
- 26:18Yeah, I know. I know.
- 26:21You're like that. We got to run our commercials,
- 26:22do our thing, you know, doing what we do.
- 26:24But then when we come back, we're going to talk about a
- 26:26giant rug pull that may cause somebody to face some serious
- 26:32charges. Hawk to a girl's Hawk token
- 26:35under fire. Let's talk about that when we
- 26:38come back here. You.
- 26:39Know what I think about that? Her and her token Spit it away.

- 30:35they print trillions of dollars in just a few short years and
- 30:38they just keep giving money away.
- 30:39They just gave money to Africa, billions of dollars, right?
- 30:42Taxes are going up and the government is busy funneling
- 30:46half its budget into the military industrial complex.
- 30:49As a result. What happened?
- 30:51the US dollar has lost its value.

- 32:00big site. Make it easy for you guys.
- 32:02All you got to do is call or hit the site so hot to a girl.
- 32:07You know, before we get into the story, Lance, when when Bitcoin
- 32:14came out and then, you know, you had all the coins came out and
- 32:17then all these different mean coins.
- 32:19And I always hurt. And This is why I always like
- 32:22steered away from it because you always hear these horror stories
- 32:27of these pump and dump scams and it's hard.
- 32:29It's really hard to figure out how to know what's good and what
- 32:34bad. You really have to do your
- 32:35research, a lot of research. First things first, don't
- 32:39believe any celebrity because you know, what do they want to
- 32:43do? They want to pump up their coin
- 32:44and just make for themselves. They don't care.
- 32:46So you'd really have to do a lot of work and I wish like all
- 32:50these different coins that we invest in Lance and I yourself,
- 32:53you have to go like all these different sites, different
- 32:55wallets. It's crazy.
- 32:57And I can understand why people actually steer steer away from
- 33:01it because it's. They make it, struggle with it.
- 33:03Yeah, they make it difficult. And the first person that
- 33:06simplifies this process, it's going to be a winner.
- 33:10And you know, but yeah, Octua Jews got some explaining to do.
- 33:16I know that. I mean, well, the hard part is.
- 33:21A lot of the stories are very sad now for you guys.
- 33:23Hopefully everybody knows. I I don't know if everybody
- 33:26knows Hock to a girl was a girl that got interviewed and she
- 33:30made a comment that she was asked about securing a
- 33:34relationship and keeping a relationship with your
- 33:36boyfriend. And it was something to the
- 33:38effect of you must spit on that thing.
- 33:41And the meme took off. She took off.
- 33:44She's got deals with a bunch of different platforms.
- 33:46I think Spotify is one of them as an example.
- 33:50And and and with that, I can't say she's done all bad.
- 33:53She does do a bunch of donating to some charities for animals,
- 33:56but it seems like this ride has been meteoric and I'm not sure
- 34:00she got advised correctly. Now it depends on who you're
- 34:03doing these meme coins with. I don't know this group, I don't
- 34:05know anything about it. We look at meme coins, but meme
- 34:07coins are tricky. You have to use a lot of
- 34:09different filters and there's one mode that's real.
- 34:12One thing that really matters is having a strong community that
- 34:15isn't going to just pump and dump.
- 34:17It's a community that has a plan for the coin, you know, building
- 34:21technical pieces around it that make it beneficial to
- 34:24blockchain. Some of them have gaming, some
- 34:26of them have gambling built in. There's all different things
- 34:28that make a meme coin successful.
- 34:30You know two of the meme coins George and I have been looking
- 34:32at are SNEK, SENEK and of course the other one we've been looking
- 34:38at that we actually got in the staking period was PEPU, which
- 34:41is Pepe on Shame. That's not financial advice.
- 34:43You can check them out. We did a lot of research before
- 34:46we bought either one of those. So pepu and snack.
- 34:50So here's the deal. It's just a matter of hours.
- 34:52This coin just went crazy. It soared from just and it the
- 34:56opening price was .005492 and it went up 490 million in market
- 35:03cap. A lot of people bet the farm on
- 35:05this one, but that high ride came down quickly with a
- 35:10staggering 91% liquidation that taking it down to 60 million.
- 35:16Now the story goes that she and the people that brought the coin
- 35:21out had some wallets where they started liquidating.
- 35:24She has gone on further and doubled down.
- 35:26She had a horrible spaces event where she tried to deny all of
- 35:31it. I think that'll end up being a
- 35:32centerpiece for litigation because she made a lot of
- 35:35mistakes on that, as did the other people that were part of
- 35:38it. Then they took the spaces down,
- 35:39but it's too late. People have recorded it.
- 35:42George, let's show the chart. This is a horrible Candlestick
- 35:45pattern here. I mean, it's an up and a dump.
- 35:48So usually that's insiders that do that or they sell coins or
- 35:51let people get coins early on that can accumulate coins right
- 35:54before the release. And then those people dumped
- 35:57those wallets. That's a that's a typical pump
- 36:00and dump. I'm not saying that's what
- 36:01happened here. We don't have all the evidence
- 36:03yet. But this is, you know, one of
- 36:04those meteoric rises with a super brutal sudden crash.
- 36:08Some people are alleging they lost every nickel they had so
- 36:12that, you know those early buyers saw a surge of over 900%,
- 36:17hoping that this would be one of the next big mega meme coins
- 36:20like Peanut or like Ath or one of the other ones.
- 36:22You can think of Pepe in the very beginning or Doji in the
- 36:25very beginning. But this is a fairy tale that
- 36:28has a unhappy ending. George.
- 36:30I mean, it sure doesn't and this is what hurts crypto in a in a
- 36:35sense. But you know, hopefully they
- 36:38hold her accountable because from my understanding though the
- 36:42the wallet or the I mean her and her team held majority of the
- 36:45coin so. Well, she denies that there is
- 36:49one wallet specifically that accumulated 17.5% of the coin,
- 36:56spent about $1,000,000 to accumulate it at the very
- 36:59beginning, and then flipped it in two hours for a super sweet
- 37:02$1.3 million profit. Listen.
- 37:06This is what's going to happen. She's going to play the old
- 37:08little blonde girl that didn't know that these people said,
- 37:11I'll do a meme coin and just use your name Haktua and yadda,
- 37:15yadda, yadda. That's that's about her and her
- 37:17lawyers are going to go. I already see you coming.
- 37:19But you know what? They'll track the financials and
- 37:22we'll know. But listen, if you give your
- 37:28name or you put your your picture name on something, you
- 37:30better know that it's it's on the up and up because you're
- 37:34responsible too. Yeah, if the big MIG did a coin,
- 37:37we would never do this. We'd want it to have, you know,
- 37:39an AI contingent in some technical.
- 37:42Not that I'm saying we'd ever do it.
- 37:43It's just one of those things because you have to remember
- 37:45this about. I'm going to give you some key
- 37:46takeaways here. Number one, that's it.
- 37:50And #1 beware the hype. Rapid price surges can be
- 37:54tempting for sure, but remember that what goes up fast can also
- 37:57come down even faster. So beware of hype.
- 38:00And that includes these in in, in general, I don't like
- 38:02celebrity meme coins. You know, watch for the whales
- 38:05and the snipers. You know, when it when it, when
- 38:08there's only a few wallets to control a massive share of a new
- 38:11token supply, it's a red flag for potential price
- 38:15manipulation. So you got to watch that those
- 38:17whales can make a huge, you know, a huge move very quickly
- 38:22and you get left in the dirt pile.
- 38:24And of course, they, most of those whales have a lot of
- 38:26money. So they use sophisticated
- 38:28sniping programs to execute those trades, which you may very
- 38:31well not have those. Not that you couldn't create
- 38:33some on ChatGPT for, but you have to do it.
- 38:35Celebrity endorsements. There's no guarantee in
- 38:37celebrity endorsements. I don't like celebrity coins.
- 38:39I'm never going to buy a celebrity coin.
- 38:41It just doesn't make any sense. Don't get me wrong, Trump's
- 38:44coins did OK, the ones that came out around his name, but that
- 38:46was during the campaign. I get it.
- 38:48There are some celebrity coins because it worked.
- 38:50I'm just not the guy that buys those.
- 38:52And make sure you do your own research.
- 38:53You know, even after you see people hyping up a coin and
- 38:55talking about it, dig deeper into what they call the
- 38:58tokenomics, you know, holder distribution.
- 39:01Look at that, who's holding and where and the reputation of the
- 39:03team behind the project. This is a girl that's made claim
- 39:06to fame was, you know, suggesting that she spits and
- 39:09and goes to work on her boyfriend to keep him in place.
- 39:13I don't think that's a great basis for that.
- 39:16You know, Kim Kardashian took a big hit.
- 39:17I think she got fined $1,000,000 plus because she had something
- 39:20very similar to this. She did long term visibility
- 39:24matters. Sustainable crypto ventures are
- 39:26often focused on transparency and community building and
- 39:29genuine utility over short lived hype with nothing like that.
- 39:34So you know, transparency, community building, you want a
- 39:37strong community. You look at coins like Snack and
- 39:39you look at coins like Peppu. Peppu just had the largest
- 39:44staking round at 72 million plus dollars.
- 39:48Nobody's ever staked like that, which is staking round is the
- 39:50early investment. That's a large pool of
- 39:53liquidity, which would actually allow Peppu, as an example, to
- 39:56get listed on every single exchange.
- 39:59It's going to go live, I think next week on Tuesday.
- 40:01Do your own research. Not a recommendation, but I want
- 40:04to show you what happens when people screw other people.
- 40:08George, let's throw up Media 4. Where are you, Lance?
- 40:12Yeah, that is a a law firm that specializes in class action
- 40:17lawsuits and that's post says if you lost money on Hawk, which
- 40:21was the name of her coin, contact our firm to learn about
- 40:24your legal rights. Our firm represents thousands of
- 40:27NFT and token investors in securities matters.
- 40:32This is attorney advertising so I don't predict the future is
- 40:35looking too good for all the hawk to a girl.
- 40:38Here's your real name is Haley Welch just so we're.
- 40:40Clear. Here's the question now.
- 40:41Do people want regulation on coin do that or not?
- 40:46I think they want some. I don't think they want big
- 40:48government. They don't want, you know,
- 40:50normal U.S. government over. Yeah, but you know what happens?
- 40:53You give them an inch, I know they're gonna take a mile.
- 40:56I I get it. I get it.
- 40:58I think, I think the difficulty comes, George, is that what you
- 41:00don't want is the industry full of fraud?
- 41:02Because that will also hurt it for the regular American.
- 41:05So somehow you have to have a balance.
- 41:07You're right. I'm, I'm not, I'm always
- 41:08suspicious whenever the US government gets involved.
- 41:10But this is an awful story. With you know what I think they
- 41:13should do you want my idea out of every transaction take a
- 41:18certain amount and have and we and the people develop their own
- 41:26policing board or whatever how you want to do it.
- 41:29Not a bad idea. There could be some kind of a
- 41:30fee that's added to it. Yeah.
- 41:33All right, let's move on here because I want to make sure we
- 41:35cover all these I. Just want to make sure I want to
- 41:38our what's going to happen with with talk to a girl on other
- 41:42platforms. They're going to banner
- 41:44accounts. What?
- 41:45Because you know. I don't know, you know, it's one
- 41:48of those things that they always ban the accounts that talk
- 41:51about, you know, topics they don't want us to talk about.
- 41:54But maybe this topic, they don't care about it.
- 41:55Maybe they'll run to her defense.
- 41:57I don't know how guilty she is or isn't at this point.
- 41:58These are all just allegations. I guess we'll have to wait and
- 42:01see. Unemployed Americans searching
- 42:03for a job at least 15 weeks is up to 40%, the highest in three
- 42:08years, at least by these numbers that are being reported.
- 42:11This is really concerning, George.
- 42:14It is because listen, you had there are now 1.6 million
- 42:19Americans that have been unemployed for 27 plus weeks,
- 42:23the highest since February 2022. Now what does this show the US
- 42:27labor markets weakening? But you know, the jobs report
- 42:30came out today and for November and it was at two 22127 thousand
- 42:36jobs, which it was they expected less.
- 42:41But then you know, if you look at the what is it called, the
- 42:43farmer payroll, whatever, it shows different difference.
- 42:46So I mean the last year's the shares jumped what -8 percentage
- 42:51points. Yeah, well, by nomics, hard at
- 42:56work, hopefully Trump will turn this around.
- 42:58A lot of Americans looking for jobs, you can't find them.
- 43:00I don't. It doesn't surprise me.
- 43:02We're seeing a lot of consolidation in the job market.
- 43:04You have. And it's going to get worse in
- 43:06some ways, I think. I think AI is really going to
- 43:08take a bite out of the job market personally.
- 43:11So you have look, the number of hires that as a total, as a
- 43:14percentage of total employment, which I said fell to 3.3% in
- 43:18November, the lowest level since 2020.
- 43:21Now over the last three years we had hiring rate that has
- 43:24declined by 1.3% points. That's the biggest decline on
- 43:28record. I'm going to put up the graph so
- 43:30you guys can see this. You know we ain't kidding.
- 43:33You don't hear the media really talking about it, right?
- 43:36Yeah, of course. Why?
- 43:36Wouldn't. And this also puts the hiring
- 43:38rate significantly below the 2001 recession levels.
- 43:44Outside the pandemic, we had seen the biggest drops in the
- 43:47hiring rate since 2008. the US labor market is starting to
- 43:52freeze. Now.
- 43:54You won't feel it because, you know, you had the holidays.
- 43:56Right now. People are shopping, they're
- 43:57buying gifts. They feel good about, you know,
- 44:00Trump coming in. So you can't really look at the
- 44:05spending of this month because it's one of the most spending
- 44:08holidays, I think, right, Lance? You know, yeah.
- 44:11And let's face it, the job market usually leads what I
- 44:14would call bad financial news. When you hear the job markets
- 44:18are being impacted in a negative way, it usually leads to
- 44:20everything else. And I think it's interesting
- 44:22because right now the housing market is showing some signals
- 44:25that I think it might very well be in trouble.
- 44:27Also, newly built homes were more expensive than existing
- 44:31homes by only 3% on average this year.
- 44:35Now that's the lowest premium for a new home and I think since
- 44:38the 80s or and and I think it's in line with actually the early
- 44:4270's, the margins. So the average premium for a
- 44:45home in 1968 was 16% or five times higher.
- 44:49Now these existing homeowners are refrain from selling their
- 44:51homes, reducing supply to near record levels.
- 44:54But now the new homes, the margins are tight because I
- 44:56don't think people are buying them.
- 44:59I mean, it's getting tricky. And I'll be honest, the quality
- 45:01of a lot of new homes is not great in comparison to the old.
- 45:04Homes to make it simpler, simplest as possible.
- 45:07You got to know something is wrong when the new is getting
- 45:10cheaper than the old. We're not talking like classic
- 45:14cars here, people. We're just talking about older
- 45:16houses, right? That are cheap that the newer
- 45:20houses are cheaper than finding an old house I mean.
- 45:24Yeah, I don't like the cookie cutter style of what's going on
- 45:26with new home builders. You go down the street and all
- 45:28the houses look the same. And I think they're doing
- 45:30themselves an incredible disservice.
- 45:32And it doesn't surprise me that they're having a difficult time
- 45:35selling that kind of inventory. And you know, most Americans
- 45:39can't afford $1,000,000 house They and really they, they're
- 45:41having difficulty affording the houses now because the houses
- 45:44that were 300,000 three or four years ago are now five 600,000.
- 45:49The appreciation has gone on through the roof.
- 45:51And I don't think it matches what you're getting for the
- 45:53money. So this is a tricky thing.
- 45:55But now you're talking about jobs and you're talking about
- 45:57the housing market. Now, of course, Donald Trump
- 45:59could do a lot of things to change this.
- 46:01Mortgage rates are too high, you know, interest rates are too
- 46:04high. He's also talking about limiting
- 46:06the maximum amount of credit card interest a credit card
- 46:08company charge. I think he's wants to cap it out
- 46:10at 9.99% is what he's talking about, which would be a windfall
- 46:15for the American public because they've got the largest amount
- 46:17of credit card debt in history right now.
- 46:20Americans are holding more credit card debt right now than
- 46:23has ever been held by Americans in the in the US history.
- 46:27So pretty frightening. You know, you guys have heard on
- 46:30this show we've talked about battery technology, Samsung E VS
- 46:35incredible battery technology. There was a crazy announcement
- 46:38about battery technology. You guys are probably familiar
- 46:41with the product called Carbon 14.
- 46:43They use it for dating antiquities.
- 46:46They use the carbon molecules. And that's how they can tell how
- 46:48old it is by the reaction. Yeah, so that's everybody knows
- 46:52carbon 14 from that, but never before has it been used in in
- 46:56wonder what what this has suggested.
- 46:58The UK has unveiled a ground breaking carbon 14 diamond
- 47:03battery. Listen to this George promising
- 47:07up to 5000 years of uninterrupted power. 5000 years.
- 47:155000 years. For carbon 14 diamond battery
- 47:18that I mean why wait a minute? Yeah.
- 47:25So the battery's charged, you don't have to keep charging it.
- 47:28No, because basically what it does, the battery generates this
- 47:30low level of power. So we're not talking about
- 47:32something that could power an EV, but you are talking about
- 47:34something that could power satellites and other items like
- 47:37that that are low voltage units. Basically it it it traps the
- 47:41electrons in a diamond structure, essentially creating
- 47:44a solar cell but with radiation instead of sunlight.
- 47:49So they use the carbon 14, which is a radioactive isotope, and
- 47:53that's how they produce. So how big is how big is this?
- 47:55Battery. A new battery.
- 47:57How big is this? How big is the biggest battery
- 47:59you can make? I don't know I'm I'm not sure
- 48:01yet we have a video, but here's the deal Think about a pacemaker
- 48:04that never needs a new battery. So that means the owner of that
- 48:08pacemaker never has to go under the knife ever again That
- 48:12battery would stay online for a millennia.
- 48:14Let's. Play the.
- 48:15Video permanent No replacement Power source Medical implants
- 48:20unbelievable. Specs.
- 48:21Space exploration. Unbelievable.
- 48:23I want to play the. Video kind of a Yeah, It's
- 48:25crazy. Let's show that.
- 48:26Best, best as we can, just so that this planet can be safe for
- 48:29us all to live. We're trying to develop new
- 48:33materials, new devices which change the paradigm for Atomic
- 48:37Energy. The diamond battery would
- 48:40revolutionize the battery industry.
- 48:44Bye bye to all living iron waves batteries.
- 48:47Bye bye to constant surgery to change pacemakers.
- 48:53This is about UK innovation and no one's ever done this before.
- 49:02We can have a real world impact on people's lives because we can
- 49:05offer a technology where you never have to replace the
- 49:07battery because the battery will literally, on human time scales,
- 49:11last forever. So in our case, what we're
- 49:15trying to do is to have a radioactive material in this
- 49:18diamond to help create some form of electricity.
- 49:24We first approached the UK Atomic Energy Authority.
- 49:27We thought they had the materials that we needed to make
- 49:30diamond batteries. The UKA is working across all of
- 49:36the fields that are necessary to deliver safe and sustainable
- 49:38fusion energy. There's global interest in the
- 49:44development of safe and sustainable fusion energy.
- 49:47In this case, we're using carbon 14.
- 49:50The half life of carbon 14 is about 5000 years.
- 49:53That's a long time. Here is the actual experimental
- 49:58rig to synthesize and grow diamond batteries.
- 50:04They're trying to create the thin layer of this diamonds
- 50:08under pressures that are below atmospheric pressure.
- 50:12We are ensuring that the carbon isotope is totally encapsulated
- 50:17in the core of the diamond isotope inside that thin layer
- 50:23and meets electrons. And this electrons, when they go
- 50:26through this diamond, which is a semiconductor material, it helps
- 50:30to create that electricity and power.
- 50:33Though is low power, but it lasts for a very very long time.
- 50:43Neil is ordering 2 batteries. One has been grown in the lab at
- 50:49UK EA with synthetic diamond coating, carbon 12 and cable 14.
- 50:54That's the diamond battery and that's lithium battery.
- 50:58We had a device made out of diamond where we had the
- 51:01radioisotope integrated within that device and that's the world
- 51:06first. The future would be us.
- 51:09Using diamond batteries is almost everything.
- 51:11You can use it in small satellites, you can use it in
- 51:13computer chips, remote controls, wristwatches.
- 51:17Our use case applications are typically either extreme
- 51:20environments. So this could be space, it could
- 51:22be the bottom of the sea. When we have a clean battery
- 51:27like the Diamond battery, that mitigates climate change.
- 51:31Clean energy and low carbon energy is really important in
- 51:34terms of protecting the environment.
- 51:37Do we want to use this technology for advancing the
- 51:40human race? This is where I know I'm
- 51:43actually doing something that can affect the world in a
- 51:46positive manner. The decade ahead is about
- 51:52upscaling production. It's about improving power
- 51:57performance. Give credit to a lot of
- 52:05engineers that put on it. It's it's not just two or three
- 52:08people. There's a lot of a lot of
- 52:10powerhouse behind us. That's really what allowed us to
- 52:15achieve this fantastic result. This is really exciting at this
- 52:18point. This is where we think that
- 52:20people are really going to say hold on, this is absolutely game
- 52:23changing. You know Dorsal and Energizer
- 52:34are not happy campers right now. Yeah.
- 52:37Yeah, You might want to short, short some of those stocks if
- 52:40this is really going to be coming.
- 52:41I don't know how long it'll take to get it to an industrial level
- 52:44where they can produce enough of them, but wow, right?
- 52:46I mean, listen what it takes money to make the equipment and
- 52:50stuff, but you have to look at investments into it.
- 52:53But can they scale it to where you have like a AAA battery or
- 52:58AA battery? I mean, right now you're talking
- 53:00like a watch battery size or or your key fob battery size.
- 53:06But it would be an incredible windfall to get rid of that
- 53:08lithium mining and lithium batteries, which are so
- 53:12horrendous for the environment. It's just so bad.
- 53:14So interesting technology. You know, we talked about that
- 53:18battery technology, we talked about the Samsung technology,
- 53:21some crazy innovation. Coming on, if they can make that
- 53:23for an EV battery. Oh yeah, Well, understand that
- 53:28EV batteries are made-up of thousands and thousands of
- 53:31battery banks, of small lithium batteries.
- 53:33That's how they make those EV banks, so they could do it.
- 53:36The problem is encapsulating the cost.
- 53:39I have no idea what the cost would be for this battery.
- 53:41I don't know how difficult it is.
- 53:42Of course, you have to also be concerned with safety because
- 53:46we're talking about a radioactive isotope, so if the
- 53:49car got into a vehicle crash. But for satellites, for medical
- 53:52devices, computers, there's a lot of great opportunity here.
- 53:55Unbelievable information. I want to make sure we cover
- 53:58this. We talked about XRP at the
- 53:59beginning of the show. We thought that Brad
- 54:02Garlinghouse's interview on 60 minutes, which is a first time
- 54:05interview for a crypto person on 60.
- 54:07As far as I know, that's a big deal.
- 54:09So rarely in American politics as a new industry spend so much
- 54:13money with such apparent impact as the cryptocurrency business.
- 54:17You guys know that and what they did in the last election, they
- 54:21impacted the election. They put their, they doubled
- 54:23down with money they all wanted to get rid of, you know, the,
- 54:26the, the SEC chairman Gary Gensler because he was so awful.
- 54:31So Margaret Brennan from 60 minutes And of course now we
- 54:36know there is a new pro crypto administration.
- 54:39This interview is going to get posted.
- 54:40Brad just posted about it. He said it's official.
- 54:42The interview I gave was 60 minutes about crypto's fight for
- 54:45regulatory clarity in the US will air live Sunday, December
- 54:488th. This is an interview you do not
- 54:50want to miss. Number one, if you're in crypto
- 54:52and #2 if you're not in crypto, this may very well convince you
- 54:55to get in. Only 4.8% of the world's
- 54:58population is currently invested in crypto.
- 55:00That's an extremely small number.
- 55:02So you can imagine what the long term upside is for crypto over
- 55:05the next 5 to 10 years. I told you, you can count on the
- 55:08fact that you're you at your, the money in your pocket is
- 55:10going away where they will be going to a digital currency
- 55:12across the globe. George, I'm sorry to mean to
- 55:14step. On no, no, no, that's all right.
- 55:16How much percentage you said people are in crypto right now?
- 55:19They say it's 5%, but the real number a lot of people suggest
- 55:23is 4 point percent. That that that percentage would
- 55:26jump right away if they figured out, like I said earlier, how to
- 55:30how to make this process easier. It's typical for me.
- 55:34And George is technically sophisticated.
- 55:36I leave a lot of the tech. Data.
- 55:37Because I'm not it's. It's just.
- 55:39Clearly not as skilled. Yeah, George, you struggled and,
- 55:41and I was struggling to give you where you could even figure out
- 55:44how to do it. There was a couple of coins.
- 55:46One of them is that SNET coin we talked about, which I think
- 55:49they've got a, they've got a base of just 10s of thousands of
- 55:53community members. That's why I'm so confident
- 55:55Snack's going to be a Bitcoin and they're building all sorts.
- 55:57Here's here's the thing, let me explain to people about this
- 55:59just I'm going to use this snack coin, for example, and this goes
- 56:02with a lot of other coins. In order to buy this snack coin,
- 56:04you have to you know, get a wallet, but you have to buy
- 56:07Solona coin and then swap it. So what happens?
- 56:11They get you on a transaction buying the Solona coin, then
- 56:14they get you on the transaction, swapping it.
- 56:16You know, this is how they're making their money.
- 56:18All right, good for them, but it's complicated for people.
- 56:22And what George is talking about is the wallet.
- 56:25It's impossible to just have one wallet.
- 56:27So as an example for us, again, we're not telling you to invest
- 56:30in crypto. You got to decide for yourself.
- 56:32This is not financial advice. But we're George and I own, I
- 56:35don't know now at this point, half a dozen, 6-7 wallets.
- 56:38And you have to have that many wallets for a number of reasons.
- 56:41When somebody figures out how to be the Google of wallets or the
- 56:44whatever you want to call it, it's they're going to be a
- 56:46massive company because having to hold that many wallets, it's
- 56:49it's frightening because each one of those has a password seed
- 56:52phrase. And if you ever lose the seed
- 56:54phrase, you're done. Your assets are gone for good.
- 56:57Let's play this 60 minutes trailer that Brad put up on his
- 57:00website and you're going to be able to catch you on 60 minutes.
- 57:03And then after the the after it's, you know, obviously aired,
- 57:06Brad is going to be putting it up and we're we're probably
- 57:08going to take the episode and put it up on even our own
- 57:10platform. We're all thinking show crypto
- 57:12for all of us. Brad Garlinghouse's
- 57:14cryptocurrency company and two others contributed $144,000,000
- 57:20to support pro crypto Republicans and Democrats
- 57:23running for Congress. 85% one. It's incredible.
- 57:28So in your mind, is the message for any lawmaker looking to run
- 57:33for office that they have to take your industry seriously?
- 57:39Fear your industry. I don't know about fear, but I
- 57:46think Brad made a good move as many of those crypto companies
- 57:48because they needed to change the guard at the SEC because the
- 57:51SEC has been misapplying laws against the crypto industry for
- 57:55years now. You can't take a stock law, put
- 57:57it against crypto. It just doesn't work.
- 57:58It makes no sense. I don't agree with any of it.
- 58:01Of course, it's a little wild, Wild West.
- 58:02We do need some kind of authority figure within the
- 58:05crypto world, but we'll have to see how that goes.
- 58:08All right, listen, we're out of time for the big MIG show,
- 58:10Global Finance farm, of course, powered by Genesis Gold.
- 58:14Don't forget the regular Big Mig show is tonight over on Rumble.
- 58:17You'll check it out. We we may or may not have a
- 58:19guest. We're kind of waiting for a
- 58:20finalized appearance on that. If we do, we'll get the
- 58:23advertising up on it. You don't want to miss that
- 58:25show. And of course, next week it
- 58:27looks like Jillian Michaels, we had to adjust the schedule.
- 58:29She was going to be on Friday. She's now going to be on Monday.
- 58:32That's going to be an incredible interview.
- 58:33I'm confirming the last of the details were there.
- 58:35So that should be a lock and load.
- 58:37Great guest next week. You don't want to miss it.
- 58:39If you aren't following G Ballentine on X, Lance Miliaccio
