Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Michael Saylor is finally joining DeFi yes, I said that,
- 0:03Speaker 1: we'll break it down for you because it's very complicated
- 0:05Speaker 1: to understand this. But we've talked about this for a while.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Let's get into it. I do want to thank our sponsor,

- 0:37Speaker 1: it now, all right? So I want to go into
- 0:38Speaker 1: a clip. This is Michael Sailor at the Bitcoin conference.
- 0:40Speaker 1: He's breaking down strc stretch. We had the CEO of
- 0:44Speaker 1: Strategy on just last week talking about this and a
- 0:48Speaker 1: lot of the advancements that this particular product has made
- 0:52Speaker 1: as a new financial instrument, and in reality, it's probably
- 0:55Speaker 1: one of the biggest fighters against a money market. Now
- 0:58Speaker 1: Sailor goes into what a bit of detail here. I
- 1:01Speaker 1: want to show you this clip real quick and then
- 1:02Speaker 1: we'll comment. Take a look.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Now, how can we tell the instrument grew to be
- 1:06Speaker 2: the largest preferred stock in the world within eight months.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Stretch is a simple thing to remember STRC. The other
- 1:14Speaker 2: stocks are c slash pn or POW dot pr dot E.
- 1:21Speaker 2: If you went and search for these, you wouldn't find
- 1:23Speaker 2: half of them. Some of them the ones that say
- 1:25Speaker 2: OTC it's illegal for you to buy them, and so
- 1:29Speaker 2: what's the result.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Nobody trades them.
- 1:31Speaker 2: All of the standard retail rails are supporting this. You
- 1:35Speaker 2: can buy it in ten seconds, so it's easy, and
- 1:38Speaker 2: we estimate three million households right now are benefiting from STRC.
- 1:44Speaker 2: STRC isn't just the biggest preferred it's actually the most
- 1:48Speaker 2: liquid preferred in the world.
- 1:50Speaker 3: In eight months.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Look who it's competing against, Wells, Fargo, Bank of America,
- 1:56Speaker 2: Fannie May, City, JP Morgan. It's twenty five I've x
- 2:01Speaker 2: more than the next best one and it's not a
- 2:04Speaker 2: year old. It's like Superman as a toddler, beating the
- 2:08Speaker 2: crap out of everybody. We've just did something which is
- 2:12Speaker 2: forty x bigger than the next biggest thing that's ever
- 2:16Speaker 2: been tried by anybody. And again we're not even one
- 2:19Speaker 2: year old. To the people backstage, the timer in front
- 2:22Speaker 2: of me is not working, so I may very well
- 2:25Speaker 2: go on forever if you don't turn the timer back on.
- 2:31Speaker 1: The conference was interesting because a lot of the events
- 2:34Speaker 1: did not have a lot of people there, but Sailor's event,
- 2:39Speaker 1: look at that that audience was absolutely packed. So this
- 2:43Speaker 1: is clearly showing the demand for Stretch. And I think
- 2:45Speaker 1: when we had their CEO on last week, he presented
- 2:49Speaker 1: a lot of very interesting cases of how this particular
- 2:52Speaker 1: product starts to change things. And the reason this is
- 2:55Speaker 1: important is because this could start to move into a
- 2:58Speaker 1: DeFi and we'll talk about that here in a second,
- 3:00Speaker 1: but I want to play a clip for you where
- 3:02Speaker 1: Sailor takes on and says, hey, what if a bank
- 3:05Speaker 1: were to get into this. Take a look.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Everybody would like a bank to pay them three times
- 3:10Speaker 2: more than they're being paid right now. It's it's not
- 3:12Speaker 2: even debatable, like which will be the first bank to
- 3:15Speaker 2: offer you a digital money account or digital yield account
- 3:19Speaker 2: that pays eight percent on your dollars. I mean, there's
- 3:21Speaker 2: not one bank in the world, but it only takes
- 3:24Speaker 2: one bank to decide, why don't we just give people
- 3:26Speaker 2: eight percent? And every bank in the world is literally
- 3:30Speaker 2: one regulatory approval away. They just got to go to
- 3:34Speaker 2: their banking regulator and get the sign off to offer
- 3:37Speaker 2: a digital yield account. And you're the bank that offers
- 3:40Speaker 2: eight percent instead of three percent, I don't know why
- 3:43Speaker 2: you wouldn't slurp up ten twenty fifty billion dollars.
- 3:46Speaker 3: And the same is true with the crypto exchanges.
- 3:49Speaker 1: This is coming, guys, We're going to see more of this,
- 3:52Speaker 1: and I think the point he's getting at is this
- 3:54Speaker 1: is going to attack the core center of the banking foundation,
- 3:58Speaker 1: and that is the money market funds probably the most effective.
- 4:01Speaker 1: And even if you're looking at holding yield on stable
- 4:04Speaker 1: coins or are you're looking at money market funds, remember
- 4:07Speaker 1: the tax position on these are quite a bit different.
- 4:10Speaker 1: What I would invite you to do is go back
- 4:11Speaker 1: and watch the video that I did with fung Lei,
- 4:13Speaker 1: who is the CEO of Strategy, and we broke it
- 4:16Speaker 1: all down. There were some very good points he made.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Go back on the channel. Look at that, spend the
- 4:21Speaker 1: time to go really understand what they're trying to do here,
- 4:25Speaker 1: and you'll get an idea of where this is going.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Here's Patrick Witt. He is basically saying the ICBA is
- 4:31Speaker 1: doing its members a huge disservice over this issue because
- 4:34Speaker 1: this is another factor of where and just so you guys,
- 4:37Speaker 1: this is Independent Community Bankers of America. What they did
- 4:40Speaker 1: was a poll asking if people want yield. Of course
- 4:44Speaker 1: they worded it in a way that was like, yeah,
- 4:46Speaker 1: of course you don't want yield, so just say no.
- 4:48Speaker 4: No.
- 4:49Speaker 1: The basic should be do you want me to ban
- 4:53Speaker 1: yield on your stable coins? It's yes or no. That's
- 4:56Speaker 1: an easy one. And of course Patrick Witt hits them
- 4:59Speaker 1: again saying this is the problem that we're dealing with.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Instead of committing continued lobbying malpractice, the ICBA should be
- 5:06Speaker 1: enthusiastically supporting the compromise that Senator Tillis and also Brooks
- 5:10Speaker 1: have reached, which addresses the issues of idle yield head on.
- 5:15Speaker 1: And that goes back to the point of the narratives
- 5:18Speaker 1: that we have not seen and the language we have
- 5:20Speaker 1: not seen out of Clarity Act is it is likely
- 5:23Speaker 1: that idle yield is going to be moved into something
- 5:27Speaker 1: that goes into active yield. So interesting times right now
- 5:31Speaker 1: because as we look at what STRETCH is doing, this
- 5:34Speaker 1: is just one company, one project out there doing tokenied
- 5:38Speaker 1: stretch right now. I want to go to a clip
- 5:40Speaker 1: here because this will break down a little bit where
- 5:42Speaker 1: Michael Saylor says, here's where token I stretch could go.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 5:47Speaker 2: You're seeing tokenization taking place right now.
- 5:50Speaker 3: How fast? You know, the charts out of date.
- 5:52Speaker 2: So this has gone from nothing to hundreds of millions
- 5:55Speaker 2: of dollars. I think we'll probably go through a billion
- 5:58Speaker 2: dollars of AUM in the next four to eight weeks.
- 6:01Speaker 3: So this is explosive.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Industry downstream of STRETCH, and we're committed to helping everybody
- 6:08Speaker 2: that builds on top of SDRC. Right now, I think
- 6:11Speaker 2: I see about a dozen projects that are going on
- 6:14Speaker 2: in this area. It's exploding and I and You're going
- 6:17Speaker 2: to see a lot of people in the DeFi ecosystem
- 6:19Speaker 2: and they're going to loop these these eight percent coins
- 6:22Speaker 2: five times to get to a thirty.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Percent yield or a forty percent.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Yield, and then you can modify or program the liquidity
- 6:30Speaker 2: from continuous to daily to weekly to monthly to quarterly
- 6:34Speaker 2: to annual. There are announcements about that that are just
- 6:38Speaker 2: coming out right now. There are companies that are going
- 6:40Speaker 2: to do that in the crypto ecosystem, and then they'll
- 6:43Speaker 2: be a bit of battle about are you going to
- 6:46Speaker 2: do this on ethereum or Solana, Are you going to
- 6:48Speaker 2: do it on a Sea FI exchange or on base
- 6:50Speaker 2: or and then how many different DeFi protocols where you
- 6:53Speaker 2: link it to do.
- 6:55Speaker 1: You guys, realize what he is saying right there. This
- 6:59Speaker 1: is sent takes the og of bitcoin and marriors it
- 7:04Speaker 1: with the potential of tokenization. That tokenization is starting to
- 7:09Speaker 1: occur both on Solana, Ethereum. You can kind of see
- 7:12Speaker 1: just on x stocks alone, Absolute Skyrock and A and
- 7:15Speaker 1: he's point on which is holders are going up, total
- 7:19Speaker 1: asset values are going and this is the very beginning
- 7:22Speaker 1: of it, because this is just starting to happen. The
- 7:25Speaker 1: likelihood of this exploding into a large tokenization layer for
- 7:29Speaker 1: not only micro strategy, this could be one of the
- 7:32Speaker 1: most innovative products that we've seen on Wall Street. So
- 7:34Speaker 1: a lot happening around this right now. And who else
- 7:37Speaker 1: is it going to affect? Because this starts to affect
- 7:40Speaker 1: others as well. And the point that I want to
- 7:43Speaker 1: get into is what happens if Clarity actually goes through.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Here's Saylor talking about it.
- 7:50Speaker 2: The Clarity Act we'll go through. We're setting up a
- 7:53Speaker 2: massive supply shock. And I actually think that there's going
- 7:57Speaker 2: to be a coming together of the alt coin or
- 8:02Speaker 2: stable coin industry and the crypto industry and the bitcoin community.
- 8:07Speaker 2: The bitcoin community hasn't had a lot in common with
- 8:10Speaker 2: the crypto community for the past few years, but.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Now the interests are crossing.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Means that the Solana ecosystem, the Ethereum ecosystem, the DeFi ecosystem,
- 8:23Speaker 2: every protocol, every digital token idea, every perpetual source of leverage,
- 8:30Speaker 2: all of the DeFi exchanges, all of them are going
- 8:33Speaker 2: to be engines driving demand for bitcoin, which will drive
- 8:36Speaker 2: growth into their ecosystems. I think we're entering into a
- 8:40Speaker 2: virtual cycle, virtuous cycle. It's going to be good for
- 8:43Speaker 2: everybody in the digital assets industry.
- 8:45Speaker 4: Let's send on that note.
- 8:48Speaker 1: All right, So listen, guys, We've been saying this for
- 8:50Speaker 1: years that Sailor eventually would move to this strategy, and
- 8:57Speaker 1: stretch seems to be one of the vehicles that is
- 8:59Speaker 1: going to help accelerate it. Speaking of coming full full
- 9:02Speaker 1: circle here, we got to talk about Kathy Would. This
- 9:05Speaker 1: is a breakdown in a podcast that she did that
- 9:09Speaker 1: talks about Larry Fink and tokenization. Take a look.
- 9:13Speaker 4: We needed Larry Fink actually to change his mind because
- 9:19Speaker 4: he was saying he was the leader of the back
- 9:22Speaker 4: almost and it was interesting that that the leader of
- 9:26Speaker 4: the largest asset management firm in the world was making
- 9:32Speaker 4: it his business to dismiss a bitcoin. But his conversion
- 9:38Speaker 4: was so extreme, and his conversion had to do with
- 9:43Speaker 4: a vision and imagining the tokenization of everything. Finally understanding
- 9:51Speaker 4: the wait a minute, you know the the the Internet
- 9:56Speaker 4: was not built with a fine atial layer. His conversion
- 10:02Speaker 4: took place. It gave the industry permission to say, wait
- 10:06Speaker 4: a minute, if I don't get on board here, I
- 10:08Speaker 4: might lose out.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Well, I think she is right. I think a lot
- 10:13Speaker 1: of finance and Wall Street realized quickly that the Ethereum
- 10:18Speaker 1: network was the layer they were talking about in terms
- 10:21Speaker 1: of the future of finance, and that is exactly right
- 10:23Speaker 1: what she's referencing there. Speaking of going full circle, we
- 10:26Speaker 1: got to talk about Kathy Woods she's talking further into
- 10:30Speaker 1: the strategy that stable coins have really implemented on the
- 10:33Speaker 1: industry and the amount of time that it's taken from
- 10:36Speaker 1: the Genius Act last year to the clarity of what
- 10:38Speaker 1: we're dealing with right now of just trying to get
- 10:40Speaker 1: it through, and what Circle and Tether have been able
- 10:44Speaker 1: to do to create really kind of a new narrative,
- 10:47Speaker 1: a network effect, so to speak. Take a look.
- 10:50Speaker 4: We thought bitcoin was going to serve the roles that
- 10:56Speaker 4: stable coins do now, so I think that that's the
- 11:00Speaker 4: other big surprise and has become the glide path for
- 11:05Speaker 4: DeFi you know, is this a winner take most world,
- 11:09Speaker 4: the stable coin world, and the network effect would suggest yes.
- 11:16Speaker 4: And I think the delays in the Genius Act and
- 11:19Speaker 4: the Clarity Act have given Teather and Circle, USDT and
- 11:25Speaker 4: USDC really more running room to enjoy the network effect.
- 11:31Speaker 1: So if you consider what she's talking about there, the
- 11:34Speaker 1: real question is will stretch end up taking over the
- 11:38Speaker 1: kind of yields that we're dealing with we've had on
- 11:41Speaker 1: stable coins and even money markets. And remember all of
- 11:44Speaker 1: this is now centering around solana E hype. Even BM
- 11:49Speaker 1: and R is involved in this.
- 11:51Speaker 4: Take a look It's very interesting to watch JP Morgan
- 11:56Speaker 4: in particular, especially since Jamie was and still is in
- 12:01Speaker 4: many ways the biggest hold out when it comes to bitcoin.
- 12:04Speaker 4: But you know, he is letting his technology team overrule
- 12:10Speaker 4: him and letting client demand overrule him as JP Morgan
- 12:19Speaker 4: approaches this technology. In terms of watching DeFi build out,
- 12:26Speaker 4: I think the pure plays are are going to be.
- 12:31Speaker 4: There be the network effect there, you know Ethereum, Solana,
- 12:35Speaker 4: hyper Liquid, we'll see. We are placing our bets on them.
- 12:39Speaker 4: We've bought some dats for our ETFs. Bitmind immersion is one.
- 12:46Speaker 1: It's interesting, should not mention stretch because I think there's
- 12:48Speaker 1: going to be a bigger component moving forward in these portfolios.
- 12:52Speaker 1: But let's jump over to Tom Lee for a second.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Tom Lee's bitmind buys another forty five thousand worth of eth.
- 12:59Speaker 1: That's one hundred and three mill just in the past
- 13:01Speaker 1: couple hours. And remember he's trying to get to that
- 13:03Speaker 1: five percent of supply, and he's got to do it
- 13:06Speaker 1: right now because as we start to see this market
- 13:09Speaker 1: turn around, this is going to get harder and harder
- 13:12Speaker 1: for bitmind to get to that. So he's trying to
- 13:14Speaker 1: promise this point of five percent to his stakeholders, to
- 13:18Speaker 1: his shareholders, and to the strategy that bitmin is trying
- 13:21Speaker 1: to implement globally. So Eith is becoming their obviously a
- 13:25Speaker 1: big play there and it's moving quickly. Speaking of DeFi,
- 13:28Speaker 1: the DeFi United Fund has been able to do something
- 13:32Speaker 1: that is quite striking and that is raising almost the
- 13:36Speaker 1: entire amount of the hack in just a few short days.
- 13:40Speaker 1: This is to me stunning and in the sense that
- 13:44Speaker 1: we've been able to see that and where we are
- 13:46Speaker 1: today right now andticipated it's going to be able to
- 13:49Speaker 1: continue the acceleration. I think this was a good statement
- 13:52Speaker 1: right here. DeFi Will United will go down as one
- 13:54Speaker 1: of the most insane stories of this new era finance. Ever,
- 13:57Speaker 1: still can't believe it's almost resolved with very little user loss,
- 14:00Speaker 1: which will be amazing because when we looked at this
- 14:03Speaker 1: original hack, our thought and analysis on this was it's
- 14:08Speaker 1: going to be one of the biggest and possibly even
- 14:10Speaker 1: a contagion event. And in fact, because of this kind
- 14:13Speaker 1: of effort of the industry, it's been able to control it.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Imagine if a bank had been in this position, there's
- 14:20Speaker 1: there would be no one other than a government that
- 14:22Speaker 1: would come in and maybe step in. This is the
- 14:24Speaker 1: industry that's doing this, So think about that, guys. It's
- 14:27Speaker 1: a big deal. Last up, I want to hit on
- 14:30Speaker 1: a price prediction from Kathy Wood on bitcoin.
- 14:34Speaker 4: Listen to what she had to say, and so we
- 14:38Speaker 4: think that the bitcoin bull market is still intact. I
- 14:43Speaker 4: realize we've been through what many would call a bear market,
- 14:48Speaker 4: and yet down fifty percent as a victory compared to
- 14:51Speaker 4: down eighty five or ninety five bear market. Kathy, yes, exactly, exactly.
- 14:57Speaker 4: So our base case for twenty third is seven hundred
- 15:01Speaker 4: and thirty thousand. Our bull case is one point five million.
- 15:05Speaker 2: You know.
- 15:05Speaker 4: David Puell, who does our on chain analytics, says the
- 15:10Speaker 4: absolute capitulation would occur, meaning we may get there. I
- 15:18Speaker 4: doubt it the way bitcoin and other assets are acting,
- 15:22Speaker 4: but that drop dead price range is in the fifty
- 15:25Speaker 4: to fifty five thousand range.
- 15:27Speaker 1: First of all, fairly accelerated bitcoin price prediction there. Now.
- 15:32Speaker 1: In the past, she's kind of been pointing to twenty thirty.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the date that she was
- 15:37Speaker 1: still holding for her seven to fifty plus, but if
- 15:41Speaker 1: you look at it right now, imagine where ethereum would
- 15:44Speaker 1: be if we're at a minimum on the bear case
- 15:47Speaker 1: or you know, on the base case, I should say,
- 15:49Speaker 1: first seven hund and fifty k on a bitcoin, where
- 15:51Speaker 1: would where would ethereum be? Imagine that and much less Solana.
- 15:55Speaker 1: So all of this is interesting because eventually think this
- 16:00Speaker 1: starts to roll into stretch as a potential investment for art.
- 16:05Speaker 1: So kind of unique how it kind of comes full
- 16:08Speaker 1: circle all the time in finance. We'll break this down
- 16:13Speaker 1: soon because it's going to get very exciting. I think.
