- 1:31Speaker 3: so all right, let's let's let's talk about this.
- 1:34Speaker 2: UH.
- 1:34Speaker 3: And if you're on zoom, just log into YouTube and
- 1:37Speaker 3: just put it on mute. Just to help the numbers.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Let's talk about this. I put this in UH on
- 1:43Speaker 3: Instagram the other day too. Block and Tesla joint forces
- 1:49Speaker 3: Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey are joining forces for a
- 1:53Speaker 3: bigcoin mining plant, solar solar power bitcoin mining plant in tech.
- 2:00Speaker 3: This is interesting because we just talked about Elon's involvement
- 2:04Speaker 3: with Twitter. Jack Dorsey was a former CEO and founder
- 2:09Speaker 3: co founder of Twitter. He's currently the CEO of Block,
- 2:15Speaker 3: which was formerly called Square. I think Tesla announced last
- 2:23Speaker 3: year that they own over like eleven billion dollars in bitcoin.
- 2:30Speaker 3: If I if I'm mistaken on that number, put it
- 2:32Speaker 3: in chat. But somewhere along the line they own a
- 2:34Speaker 3: lot of bitcoin. One of the reasons why they changed
- 2:37Speaker 3: the name of the block is because they're moving more towards
- 2:39Speaker 3: blockchain technology. Square also owns cash app who they're making
- 2:45Speaker 3: a strong push towards bitcoin. So Jack Dorsey has been
- 2:49Speaker 3: a bitcoin bull him and jay z has done some
- 2:51Speaker 3: stuff in Africa with cryptocurrency and bitcoin their own title.
- 2:55Speaker 3: So now you have, now you have. It's interesting for
- 2:58Speaker 3: me on a few different level. But the first thing is,
- 3:01Speaker 3: like the whole idea of cryptocurrency and bitcoin was to
- 3:04Speaker 3: empower the little guy. That's what they said, empowered the
- 3:07Speaker 3: little guy. Decentralization put the put the strength back to
- 3:11Speaker 3: the people. Now we see two of the richest people
- 3:14Speaker 3: in the world coming together to work on cryptocurrency, Bitcoin mighty.
- 3:19Speaker 3: So that's interesting within itself. But what's what's your guy's
- 3:22Speaker 3: thoughts on this?
- 3:23Speaker 2: I think the timing was extremely interesting, right, Like, this
- 3:27Speaker 2: guy is now becoming a shareholder of the company that
- 3:30Speaker 2: you founded and was critical of Twitter up until that point, right,
- 3:35Speaker 2: saying that it needs to be free speech and all
- 3:36Speaker 2: these things. But it's interesting even with Display because they
- 3:39Speaker 2: were critical of bitcoin. If you remember at some point
- 3:42Speaker 2: last year, I think it was May. Tesla was originally
- 3:45Speaker 2: accepting bitcoin it's payment, and they stopped and that was really
- 3:49Speaker 2: because of environmental circumstances. And so when you hear what
- 3:53Speaker 2: they're doing now, it's like, oh, it's solar, okay, this
- 3:56Speaker 2: is environmental friendly. And now they've teamed up obviously with
- 4:00Speaker 2: with block and Blockstream to come with a plant. And
- 4:03Speaker 2: so if people understand the mining of bitcoin, theyn't understand
- 4:05Speaker 2: how much energy it tasts like it really like to
- 4:08Speaker 2: mine a bitcoin like it really could be giving energy
- 4:11Speaker 2: to a small town or like one of these small
- 4:13Speaker 2: cities like in the middle of the country. And so
- 4:16Speaker 2: mining really doesn't happen too. I mean, it happens in
- 4:18Speaker 2: the United States, but bigger in China, bigger in Russia,
- 4:22Speaker 2: some parts of Canada. And so when they're talking about
- 4:24Speaker 2: bringing that to the United States. From a solar standpoint,
- 4:26Speaker 2: it's revolutionary in the space because now you save energy,
- 4:28Speaker 2: but you can still produce those bitcoins. And so, I mean,
- 4:32Speaker 2: these two obviously are revolutionary minds. When we talk about
- 4:35Speaker 2: technology and creating new businesses, we've seen it some of
- 4:38Speaker 2: the most you know, incredible companies that we've seen in
- 4:43Speaker 2: our lifetime and definitely in the past decade. So to
- 4:45Speaker 2: see them come together and then the scene what happened
- 4:48Speaker 2: like two days after it was just like you know,
- 4:50Speaker 2: this isn't coincidental. None of this is coincidental.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Well timed. Square needed to hit they needed and they
- 4:57Speaker 4: have a few things that are gonna come out this
- 4:58Speaker 4: year that I think will be impactful. This is one
- 5:00Speaker 4: of the smaller ones, but like you said, it was
- 5:03Speaker 4: well timed.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Well.
- 5:05Speaker 4: What's the quote, create a problem and give a solution,
- 5:09Speaker 4: like in the political space.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Earners, what's up? You ever walk into a small business
- 5:14Speaker 2: and everything just works like the checkout is fast, the

- 8:01Speaker 4: So when they were saying, hey, how much it cost
- 8:04Speaker 4: to mind, like, what does it cost to make a
- 8:06Speaker 4: Tesla factory? You know, so like, is mining bitcoin the
- 8:11Speaker 4: most unsustainable thing that we can do in comparison to
- 8:14Speaker 4: all the things that are done in corporate or you know,
- 8:17Speaker 4: drilling and mining for oil. It's like, but if you
- 8:19Speaker 4: frame it that contact when everyone was fake caring about
- 8:22Speaker 4: the environment. You then can say, hey, this is a
- 8:24Speaker 4: great way for us to team up. As far as
- 8:27Speaker 4: it being for the little guy, there is no currency,
- 8:29Speaker 4: asset class, or money making engine that the top half
- 8:33Speaker 4: of one percent will not get into and the top
- 8:36Speaker 4: ten hedge funds will not get into. That's what I
- 8:38Speaker 4: was kept saying, like everyone was saying, hey, Bitcoin is
- 8:41Speaker 4: it centralizing? Like, no, it's not. And then you know,
- 8:46Speaker 4: I dropped the little bomb for some of you about
- 8:48Speaker 4: who backs ethereum and then Tether's going to fall apart
- 8:52Speaker 4: pretty soon. Please be careful the same ones. I want
- 8:56Speaker 4: you guys to do your research on the media side,
- 8:58Speaker 4: right So, not only because if you can get media
- 9:01Speaker 4: to influence the mind to then drive profit for you,
- 9:04Speaker 4: you need to look at who is creating the media
- 9:07Speaker 4: and who's paying them to do so. Why was no
- 9:09Speaker 4: one screaming to get into bigcoin in twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen,
- 9:12Speaker 4: twenty sixteen. I was there for shotting truck can tell you, man,
- 9:16Speaker 4: not that many people were screaming at twenty fifteen. So normally,
- 9:20Speaker 4: whenever you get a push to mainstream media, and so
- 9:24Speaker 4: that the ones that are in institutions and the wealthiest
- 9:27Speaker 4: of the wealthy can actually get a high return on
- 9:30Speaker 4: their profit. So please be careful and be mindful. A
- 9:33Speaker 4: great plan for Square. I love it.
- 9:36Speaker 3: So how do you feel about Square stock? It's rebounded,
- 9:39Speaker 3: a create crashed, It's rebounded, is up and down. It
- 9:44Speaker 3: had a big week last week, I think, and then
- 9:47Speaker 3: it kind of went down. I know you was a
- 9:49Speaker 3: big Square bull, Dylan, very vocal about your support of
- 9:53Speaker 3: Square as far as you thought that it was a
- 9:55Speaker 3: good stock. Do you still believe in Square?
- 9:57Speaker 4: I do, But like it was at the point where
- 9:58Speaker 4: you remember when Deontay Water got knocked out and it
- 10:00Speaker 4: was like, baby, please, don't don't let Furiy knock you
- 10:04Speaker 4: out right sore push So like ninety six sixty seven
- 10:09Speaker 4: and they'll be good. Jack and his team needs to
- 10:13Speaker 4: announce what their plan is. The one thing that I
- 10:16Speaker 4: am seeing, which is different than the Pelotons CEO change,
- 10:21Speaker 4: which is amazing. You have to tell people what the
- 10:26Speaker 4: vision is so they can rally around it. So there's
- 10:28Speaker 4: no reason right now for unless you have some amazing
- 10:31Speaker 4: information or some insight and the crystal ball shines bright,
- 10:35Speaker 4: you have no reason to jump in right now. I
- 10:38Speaker 4: think they while they're getting that playing together, they have
- 10:40Speaker 4: to get a better job of mapping out what the
- 10:41Speaker 4: vision is for Square. With the vision of the company is,
- 10:45Speaker 4: I think the product is great. I think they have
- 10:46Speaker 4: some great assets under management in terms of product liners
- 10:50Speaker 4: they have, but no one has been told, hey, here's
- 10:52Speaker 4: the five year plan for Square. I think if he
- 10:54Speaker 4: does that, they'll be great. But yeah, give it maybe
- 11:00Speaker 4: eight months and they'll be back to like one eighty
- 11:05Speaker 4: three fifty ish. But yeah, wayan flishing is going up,
- 11:10Speaker 4: They're gonna take a little beating. So I'm screaming, get up, Champ,
- 11:13Speaker 4: Get up.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Get up Champ, really really quickly, just acause we spoke
- 11:18Speaker 2: about Tesla their plant open up in Texas, UH last week,
- 11:22Speaker 2: and this bitcoin mining plan is also going to be
- 11:25Speaker 2: in Texas, UH, and so very interesting. Obviously, we know
- 11:28Speaker 2: Texas no state tax, so a lot of of the revenue,
- 11:32Speaker 2: you know, it is not to be paid to the state.
- 11:33Speaker 2: So you know, just another benefit that the CEOs are
- 11:36Speaker 2: looking at, like, all right, well, let's move to places
- 11:38Speaker 2: where we can actually save money and have the same
- 11:40Speaker 2: amount of business.
- 11:41Speaker 3: That's a fact. Speaking well, before that shot to YouTube,
- 11:46Speaker 3: we jumped up seven hundred viewers. Real quick, we had
- 11:50Speaker 3: seventy one hundreds. My graduates from my school being force back,
- 11:57Speaker 3: drop bag drop Mike, drop back, drop bag drops.
- 12:12Speaker 5: Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for
- 12:15Speaker 5: the team today?
- 12:16Speaker 4: It was the new game day scratches from the California Lottery.
- 12:18Speaker 4: Play is everything.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.
- 12:22Speaker 5: Are you saying it was the off field play that
- 12:24Speaker 5: made the difference on the field.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made
- 12:28Speaker 2: the game.
- 12:29Speaker 4: That's all for now, Coach. One more question.
- 12:31Speaker 5: Play the new Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine
- 12:34Speaker 5: Ers and Los Angeles Rams scratchers from the California Lottery.
- 12:37Speaker 1: A little play can make your day. Peace may responsibly.
