- 0:36Speaker 1: way to diversify, so get into it. Let's go over
- 0:39Speaker 1: to a couple of points. I want to lead off
- 0:41Speaker 1: with one thing to watch right now for this week,
- 0:43Speaker 1: of course, is earnings week, kind of the super Bowl
- 0:46Speaker 1: of earnings, and the big ones are going to be
- 0:49Speaker 1: on mostly Wednesday, even though Robinhood will be on Tuesday.
- 0:53Speaker 1: You've got Amazon, Microsoft, Mata, Google, Qualcom, Sofi in there,
- 0:57Speaker 1: and then Apple coming in, Roadblocks coming in, Rivian in there.
- 1:00Speaker 1: If you want to see what's happening there. Roku will
- 1:02Speaker 1: be there and a handful of others. But the key here,
- 1:06Speaker 1: I think are mostly the tech players to keep a
- 1:08Speaker 1: very close eye on because we have seen some movement
- 1:11Speaker 1: on these and if with this many of them happening
- 1:14Speaker 1: at the same week, this is the kind of scenario
- 1:18Speaker 1: that we could see playing out.
- 1:19Speaker 2: There's the S and P.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Forty two percent of the S ANDP is now reporting earnings,
- 1:23Speaker 1: so almost half of the entire S and P five.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Hundred reporting this week.
- 1:28Speaker 1: So if they come in with bad earnings, this could
- 1:31Speaker 1: be one of the trickle components that starts to put
- 1:33Speaker 1: a little pressure on the market. As you see Microsoft
- 1:36Speaker 1: dropping five percent and open Ai, especially as they restructure
- 1:39Speaker 1: their deal. This is going to put the kind of
- 1:42Speaker 1: pressure I think on a lot of these earnings calls
- 1:45Speaker 1: that are basically going to be announcing these things, so
- 1:47Speaker 1: you will see activity in the market. Do we see
- 1:50Speaker 1: this pull back dramatically on the S ANDP. That's the
- 1:53Speaker 1: real question that everybody is looking at, because remember we're
- 1:56Speaker 1: still considering the S and P five hundred as potentially
- 2:01Speaker 1: having a major correction. Other things you have to concern
- 2:04Speaker 1: yourself with and This is Elizabeth Warren is the big
- 2:08Speaker 1: tech is building an AI bubble, same dangerous playbook we
- 2:11Speaker 1: saw in two.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Thousand and eight.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Notice though she didn't mention clarity in here or crypto.
- 2:18Speaker 2: So is she going to back off of that?
- 2:20Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but the point is she's out there
- 2:23Speaker 1: talking about this in terms of tech companies potentially causing
- 2:27Speaker 1: another major impact on the market. All right, so we've
- 2:30Speaker 1: got some other news here. This, of course is the
- 2:32Speaker 1: central banks. You've got the FOMC meeting happening this week.
- 2:35Speaker 1: This will be Chair Palell's final FOMC meeting. Also, the
- 2:39Speaker 1: ECB and the BOE are also going out this week.
- 2:42Speaker 1: In terms of how the markets are going to respond
- 2:46Speaker 1: in reference to rate cuts, now, many people would say,
- 2:49Speaker 1: is and will we get a rate cut this week
- 2:52Speaker 1: on maybe Chair Pal's last installment of the FOMC. Well,
- 2:57Speaker 1: the point is right now forty one percent holding it zero.
- 3:00Speaker 1: So no rate cut, no rate increase happening right now,
- 3:05Speaker 1: at least on forty one percent. You get a quarter
- 3:08Speaker 1: basis at the nearest next level, which is twenty nine percent,
- 3:11Speaker 1: So there's still a little bit of possibility for a raycut,
- 3:14Speaker 1: but it'd be interesting to see if Chaera Powell actually
- 3:17Speaker 1: did that. I don't think there will be one, but
- 3:19Speaker 1: we'll find out this week. US Department of Justice has
- 3:24Speaker 1: now dropped their criminal probe against Chera Powell. That was
- 3:27Speaker 1: a very big issue because there are things that had
- 3:30Speaker 1: to happen for warsh to get nominated or at least
- 3:34Speaker 1: through his nomination, and.
- 3:36Speaker 2: This was one of them.
- 3:37Speaker 1: And of course this statement here, I think is going
- 3:39Speaker 1: to be a big one at least moving forward. But
- 3:42Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean that this is over yet. I
- 3:44Speaker 1: want to play a clip for you to take a look.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Where do you think about what we've come up with,
- 3:50Speaker 3: just in terms of all of this, while we're also
- 3:52Speaker 3: in the middle of earning season, let.
- 3:53Speaker 4: Me say that I don't think the drama surrounding Jay.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Powell is over.
- 3:59Speaker 4: And we all know that he won't be chairman and
- 4:03Speaker 4: that's okay, but we know he has two more years
- 4:07Speaker 4: that he could serve if he wants, and at that
- 4:10Speaker 4: last meeting he seemed to make it clear unless I
- 4:13Speaker 4: am exonerated, completely exonerated, you know I will stay on.
- 4:20Speaker 4: He will be the second most powerful person there after Warship.
- 4:24Speaker 2: The criminal charges are dropped he wants out too. I
- 4:28Speaker 2: think he wants to get as far away as he can.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I don't think he wants to be a thorn in
- 4:31Speaker 2: the side like a gadfly.
- 4:33Speaker 3: But even if he stayed, I don't know that he
- 4:35Speaker 3: would try and kick things up and be a dissenter necessarily.
- 4:41Speaker 3: I don't see him as somebody who's an activist. I
- 4:44Speaker 3: see him as somebody who basically has always kind of
- 4:46Speaker 3: voted with what he thinks is the right move.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Don't forget him staying denies Trump another one of his picks.
- 4:54Speaker 4: You know, if he really wants to change the course
- 4:57Speaker 4: of the FED, he needs as many picks as possible.
- 5:00Speaker 4: In the Wednesday news conference that we're going to get
- 5:04Speaker 4: a two thirty, I think that's probably the most interesting
- 5:07Speaker 4: thing that's going to happen.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Okay, So I don't know. Let me know when the
- 5:12Speaker 1: comments down below. If you guys think Powell would stay
- 5:15Speaker 1: on just to you know, Spike Trump, I don't know
- 5:18Speaker 1: that he does, especially under the consideration that they've dropped
- 5:21Speaker 1: all the charges against him. Zach Pandel hit it right here.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Domino two has fallen. Senator Tillis is now prepared to
- 5:28Speaker 1: end the blockade. Of the FED chair nominee Kevin Walsh.
- 5:32Speaker 1: And remember these were the dominoes that have to happen
- 5:35Speaker 1: to go into the Clarity Act.
- 5:36Speaker 2: One.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Trump takes the off ramp for the FED, takes off
- 5:39Speaker 1: ramp from FED investigation.
- 5:41Speaker 2: He did that. Now this is a big one.
- 5:43Speaker 1: The Center Banking Committee confirms Kevin that it looks like
- 5:45Speaker 1: it's going to happen. That of course gives them full
- 5:48Speaker 1: focus on clarity. So that is a very key thing.
- 5:52Speaker 1: It's interesting that the FED and the new chair are
- 5:56Speaker 1: kind of the roadblock right now of what's happening with clarity.
- 6:00Speaker 1: So Justin Goldman Sachs says that fedchair change to Kevin
- 6:03Speaker 1: Walsh wouldn't speed rate cuts. I don't know if I'm
- 6:06Speaker 1: in agreement with this. I don't know that this will
- 6:09Speaker 1: still be the case. I don't know that the situation
- 6:12Speaker 1: is there for a rate cut just yet. But if
- 6:14Speaker 1: you listen to what Worsh says, often he's talking about
- 6:18Speaker 1: restructuring the way the policy has done and the way
- 6:21Speaker 1: that he looks at inflation not being necessarily driven off
- 6:25Speaker 1: of tariffs. I think there may be a window here.
- 6:27Speaker 1: He may pull a surprise, just so you guys know
- 6:30Speaker 1: this has been a big issue for a bitcoin in
- 6:33Speaker 1: the past. Janet Yellen in twenty fourteen, Bitcoin dumped eighty four.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Palell became FED chair in twenty eighteen, Bitcoin dump seventy three,
- 6:42Speaker 1: and now here we are now Palell gets his second
- 6:45Speaker 1: term Bitcoin dump sixty one, and now we're getting ready
- 6:47Speaker 1: to roll.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Into Kevin Walsh.
- 6:49Speaker 1: What happens with bitcoin this time around when a new
- 6:52Speaker 1: FED chair is appointed. Other things to look at right
- 6:57Speaker 1: now as to whether or not retail is back, because
- 7:00Speaker 1: we'll get into this and Sailor is kind of the
- 7:03Speaker 1: center of this and what does that mean for bitcoin.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Peter Schiff kind of hits on this thing. I don't
- 7:08Speaker 1: know if I agree with anything Peter talks about. I
- 7:11Speaker 1: do like gold because just diversify your assets. But he's saying,
- 7:15Speaker 1: Sailor predicted that bitcoin hit one million per coin. If
- 7:19Speaker 1: Master accumulated five percent of spot Master now owns three
- 7:22Speaker 1: point nine If buying the next two undred and thirty
- 7:24Speaker 1: one thousand has the same impact on Bitcoin's price as
- 7:27Speaker 1: buying the last two and thirty one, bitcoin will be
- 7:30Speaker 1: below sixty k when it hits the five percent. Do
- 7:33Speaker 1: you think that is the case under the current macro environment,
- 7:37Speaker 1: because I think the macro environment will flow into this
- 7:41Speaker 1: and move these markets in different ways. And I think
- 7:44Speaker 1: a lot of people are preparing for Let me go
- 7:47Speaker 1: to a clip of another angle for bitcoin and its trajectory,
- 7:52Speaker 1: and this is coming in from Arthur Hayes.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 7:55Speaker 5: How do we get to craziness? How do we get
- 7:57Speaker 5: to bitcoin at a million? And it starts with understanding
- 8:00Speaker 5: how the FED votes, which board does what, and how
- 8:02Speaker 5: we get to the eventual outcome that essentially yields to
- 8:05Speaker 5: yield curve control. Now we are into quantitative easing because
- 8:08Speaker 5: Besson has all this debt he needs to issue right now.
- 8:11Speaker 5: He's not issuing that the long end. He's afraid just
- 8:13Speaker 5: like bad girl Yellens. He was afraid of the long end.
- 8:15Speaker 5: Butuffalo Bill Best's afraid of the long end. It's all
- 8:17Speaker 5: in the short end. Which is why the Genius Act
- 8:19Speaker 5: and all the stable core regulation is so pertinent, because
- 8:21Speaker 5: they need a price in elastic buyer of these treasury
- 8:24Speaker 5: bonds or bills at any price. But if they have
- 8:27Speaker 5: control the FOMC, who agrees that yield curve control is
- 8:31Speaker 5: necessary to accomplish the political industrial goals of the American
- 8:35Speaker 5: and Trump administration. Then now Besson can issue trillion of
- 8:38Speaker 5: dollars of debt, and the FED is going to buy
- 8:40Speaker 5: majority of these bonds, and so we get seven and
- 8:42Speaker 5: a half trillion dollars effectively have Fed credit creation. That's
- 8:45Speaker 5: how much their balance he grows between now and twenty
- 8:48Speaker 5: twenty eight. The second piece is this bank credit creation.
- 8:51Speaker 5: So we have three years, multiply by three finger in
- 8:53Speaker 5: the air mass and then totally get to fifteen point
- 8:55Speaker 5: two trillion dollars of credit creation. What if we do
- 8:58Speaker 5: it when the Fed and the Treasure are working together
- 9:01Speaker 5: to print money and send in their terms, the American
- 9:04Speaker 5: economy into Valhalla, we get bitcoin one million dollars plus.
- 9:07Speaker 5: And so this is why I'm very confident that the
- 9:10Speaker 5: four year cycle is not really applicable to this particular cycle.
- 9:14Speaker 5: We are in a reindustrialization of a military belligerent, and
- 9:17Speaker 5: this is what's going to happen if they are able
- 9:19Speaker 5: to gain control of all the levers of monetary policy.
- 9:22Speaker 5: And believe me, they're very motivated.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm a little bit taken back by that
- 9:28Speaker 1: clip because the first time I saw this one. Sometimes
- 9:30Speaker 1: the guys will drop these in on shows, but a
- 9:33Speaker 1: couple of things that he hits on there first. The
- 9:35Speaker 1: acceleration would have to happen in the next two years
- 9:39Speaker 1: because of this administration, the alignment of the current US Treasury,
- 9:44Speaker 1: and what's happening with the Fed.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Now.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Granted Walsh will play through this administration and onto the next,
- 9:50Speaker 1: so there could be some lag over there. The other
- 9:52Speaker 1: thing you have to consider is the implementation of how
- 9:55Speaker 1: involved Trump is in bitcoin and I say Trump the
- 9:58Speaker 1: family is involved. That makes me think that maybe is
- 10:03Speaker 1: there some secret plan here or is it just right
- 10:05Speaker 1: out in the open. We're going to just go all
- 10:07Speaker 1: the way in and restructure the entire financial system in
- 10:12Speaker 1: the next twenty four months. If he is right, then
- 10:16Speaker 1: it would be joining the lynn Alden and that is
- 10:18Speaker 1: nothing stops his train. And the point they're getting at
- 10:20Speaker 1: is if you look at federal expenditures in real time,
- 10:23Speaker 1: because that's really you know, this is interesting because Walsh
- 10:27Speaker 1: talked about this the other day in the congressional hearing.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Was he actually addressed the issue. The reason that we're
- 10:34Speaker 1: having inflation is because Congress is spending too much money
- 10:38Speaker 1: and we're printing too much money.
- 10:39Speaker 2: That's his theory.
- 10:40Speaker 1: That's a different take than what we've seen on implementations
- 10:44Speaker 1: of what has happened from the Palell regime, which looks
- 10:47Speaker 1: more towards tariff's and rising costs of other things such
- 10:51Speaker 1: as fuel, energy, et cetera. So that in itself does
- 10:56Speaker 1: kind of I think align here with what Arthur saying,
- 11:01Speaker 1: I don't know this would be. This would be an
- 11:03Speaker 1: unbelievable move if that happens, and if that kind of
- 11:06Speaker 1: move on Bitcoin O Man, the uses would take a
- 11:10Speaker 1: fairly a significant role going forward. Bitcoin ETF, though continues
- 11:16Speaker 1: its rise now nine consecutive days of inflows, longest streaks
- 11:20Speaker 1: in September another good indicator.
- 11:22Speaker 2: However, many people still looking.
- 11:23Speaker 1: At could we see a little bit of a retracement
- 11:26Speaker 1: before we see this blowoff top and lining up because
- 11:30Speaker 1: the FED chair, what's happening in the Middle East, what's
- 11:34Speaker 1: going on right now in ETFs, and the S and
- 11:36Speaker 1: P timing here is just very unique for all of
- 11:39Speaker 1: these things centered around with what's happening with bitcoin, which
- 11:43Speaker 1: is sailor going in and adding another thirty two hundred
- 11:46Speaker 1: and bitcoin.
- 11:47Speaker 2: One thing to.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Note here is the purchases now made at this seventy
- 11:50Speaker 1: almost seventy eight thousand rises the strategy cost basis to
- 11:55Speaker 1: seventy five five.
- 11:57Speaker 2: For every bitcoin they own.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Wow, And you know we had the strategy team on
- 12:05Speaker 1: go back and watch that video because we had the
- 12:07Speaker 1: strategy CEO in here talking about stretch and some of
- 12:10Speaker 1: the strategies that they are using to implement this kind
- 12:13Speaker 1: of acquisition. If you look at it right here, sixty
- 12:16Speaker 1: three Bill, this is one of the bigger bubbles for
- 12:19Speaker 1: sure in some time, possibly the most big. Yeah, it's
- 12:22Speaker 1: pretty much all the way back into twenty twenty four
- 12:25Speaker 1: was the last time we saw these kind of purchases.
- 12:27Speaker 1: So continuing to purchase and continuing to build. Ohio State
- 12:32Speaker 1: has now got a teacher's pension fund that is disclosed
- 12:35Speaker 1: owning ninety three thousand shares of micro Strategy, so they themselves.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Are all in on this.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Then you've got a shift right now, which I agree
- 12:46Speaker 1: with Heidi here, and that is a big change right
- 12:49Speaker 1: now in who is speaking at the Bitcoin conference which
- 12:53Speaker 1: is happening literally is I think as we record this,
- 12:56Speaker 1: you've got Sailor of course Dorsey, But then you go
- 12:59Speaker 1: into Paul Adkins, Mike's selling, Eric Trump and of course
- 13:03Speaker 1: cash Betel. Come on, guys, this is a completely different
- 13:07Speaker 1: framework than I think most of the bitcoiners out there
- 13:09Speaker 1: had expected just a few short years ago.
- 13:13Speaker 2: And that's where we are, guys. So the question is
- 13:15Speaker 2: is retail back? Well, here's novagrats talking about it. Take
- 13:18Speaker 2: a look us.
- 13:19Speaker 6: Retail has come back period, end of story. And you
- 13:22Speaker 6: see it through the ets, but most of you see
- 13:26Speaker 6: it through micro Strategy. And he is selling stock, and
- 13:29Speaker 6: he is selling perpetuals, and he is buying bitcoin, and
- 13:33Speaker 6: his premium is expanding, not contracting. What it means by
- 13:37Speaker 6: now you're one hundred and thirty times nav. His m
- 13:42Speaker 6: NAV is one thirty relative to the bitcoin he owns.
- 13:46Speaker 6: He's almost the only guy that actually has this strategy
- 13:49Speaker 6: built in. You know, he had all these other dats
- 13:51Speaker 6: that tried it, they all traded discounts. But Michael has
- 13:56Speaker 6: managed to create this cult of people that trust him
- 14:02Speaker 6: and that buy micro Strategy as their Bitcoin proxy. They
- 14:07Speaker 6: buy it as micro strategy, and it's working. And that
- 14:10Speaker 6: is I mean, he bought too and a half billion
- 14:11Speaker 6: dollars a bitcoin last There's not enough supply to eat
- 14:14Speaker 6: up a billion a month from a billion a week
- 14:16Speaker 6: from Microsvelt.
- 14:19Speaker 1: All right, So a couple of points that Novilgratz hit
- 14:21Speaker 1: on there, even though I would challenge and say that
- 14:23Speaker 1: there there are other people out there that have done
- 14:26Speaker 1: and are executing on this strategy. One of course is
- 14:30Speaker 1: of course BM and R, and that's Tom Lee, who
- 14:33Speaker 1: also has accumulated nearly five million in EH closing in
- 14:38Speaker 1: on five percent of supply.
- 14:40Speaker 2: And the real.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Question will be and I would agree with the fact
- 14:43Speaker 1: that Novgratz is saying that Sailor has created a cult following,
- 14:48Speaker 1: for sure. I think the Bitcoin conference kind of has
- 14:51Speaker 1: elevated that over the years, and the you know, the
- 14:55Speaker 1: bitcoin whales have continued to elevate that. It's brought a
- 14:58Speaker 1: lot of people on board the ETF. You know, Sailors
- 15:01Speaker 1: always the one talking on major news networks. You get
- 15:04Speaker 1: that kind of ara built into it. So that I
- 15:06Speaker 1: agree with BM and R and Tom Lee isn't at
- 15:10Speaker 1: that level yet. Now Tom Lee does get called upon
- 15:14Speaker 1: a lot, but remember he's also in traditional securities. He's
- 15:19Speaker 1: also doing things I think within BM and R that's
- 15:22Speaker 1: a little bit different than what Strategy is doing with
- 15:25Speaker 1: all their derivative products, which is crazy. So I think
- 15:28Speaker 1: it may take some time for him to get to
- 15:30Speaker 1: that level. Tom Lead and bitmind now owned more than
- 15:32Speaker 1: five million in ETH.
- 15:34Speaker 2: That's two hundred thouve.
- 15:35Speaker 1: If you think about this, this is their holdings right now,
- 15:37Speaker 1: just two hundred bitcoin ninety four million in cash Beast Industries,
- 15:41Speaker 1: which we've talked about that here on the show, and
- 15:43Speaker 1: then Eco Steak, so four point two one of eth.
- 15:49Speaker 2: That's the supply.
- 15:50Speaker 1: They're getting close because his take rate now in terms
- 15:54Speaker 1: of getting more ethereum is happening faster and larger as
- 15:59Speaker 1: he starts to accumulate a lot more.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Here it is Ethereum.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Foundation so far as sold thirty three million of ETH
- 16:05Speaker 1: to bitmind, so they've been buying from the Eath Foundation.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Eventually that's going to run out, and you would be
- 16:11Speaker 1: looking at BM and R going to the market. So
- 16:14Speaker 1: let's see if this happens soon. And I think the
- 16:16Speaker 1: point that you know Tom Lee has talked about he
- 16:19Speaker 1: thinks this market at bottom is in which usually means
- 16:22Speaker 1: the acceleration. And we've been looking at this for some
- 16:24Speaker 1: time saying once he starts clipping on at one hundred
- 16:27Speaker 1: thousand eth at a whack, be ready, that might be
- 16:31Speaker 1: the lower end of ethereum if they are forced or
- 16:34Speaker 1: just because of supply issues even within the EATH Foundation,
- 16:38Speaker 1: if they are forced into open market, the same kind
- 16:41Speaker 1: of supply shot could occur on ethereum as well. So
- 16:44Speaker 1: there are some situations that line up very closely with what's.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Happening with bitcoin.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Because Bitcoin has been or i should say strategy has
- 16:51Speaker 1: been able to do this because of the variety of
- 16:53Speaker 1: products that they have brought to market, which is opening
- 16:56Speaker 1: up all these opportunities. Then you compile that with the ETFs,
- 17:01Speaker 1: and then of course these two companies that are out
- 17:03Speaker 1: there are just absolutely trying to pile on in both
- 17:06Speaker 1: these major assets.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Let's move over to.
- 17:08Speaker 1: DeFi right here, because Justin Sun backsave with another twenty
- 17:11Speaker 1: million push. Justin Sun says the tround, the tron, Dow
- 17:15Speaker 1: and AHTX are joining to supply another twenty million in
- 17:18Speaker 1: USDT taves.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Core V three market. This of course is big support.
- 17:23Speaker 1: You've got Solana Lily lub talking about this right here,
- 17:26Speaker 1: using their treasury to support the growth of Salona economy,
- 17:29Speaker 1: but also uh into DeFi, and I think the point
- 17:32Speaker 1: that we're getting at is DeFi is getting supported on
- 17:35Speaker 1: the fact that we are now seeing over three hundred million,
- 17:38Speaker 1: which is on the DeFi United dot e fund starting
- 17:43Speaker 1: to accelerate.
- 17:44Speaker 2: This hasn't been.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Completely moved in to getting these wallets unlocked, but the
- 17:49Speaker 1: fact that it's over three hundred million right now, I
- 17:51Speaker 1: think there is very very significant support of where DeFi
- 17:55Speaker 1: is heading. I love to see this because this is
- 17:57Speaker 1: what crypto really was designed for. The fact that we
- 18:00Speaker 1: have a community like this out there pushing for DeFi
- 18:02Speaker 1: is great. Another thing you want to consider right now
- 18:05Speaker 1: is how stable coins are playing to this. Here, of course,
- 18:07Speaker 1: is the Salona based stable coin. Remember when the announcement
- 18:10Speaker 1: of Solana and Western Union last year, I will be
- 18:13Speaker 1: the first to say I didn't think it was that
- 18:16Speaker 1: big a deal. You see now where they were going
- 18:19Speaker 1: with this. They are launching a stable coin next month.
- 18:23Speaker 1: The one thing that you have to consider and Western Union,
- 18:27Speaker 1: I'm the fact that they're doing this and they're doing
- 18:30Speaker 1: it this early tells me they are ready for I
- 18:35Speaker 1: think mainstream of this shift, because it's very possible that
- 18:39Speaker 1: the digital dollar, the stable coin makes it way makes
- 18:44Speaker 1: its way into these money market products out there in
- 18:47Speaker 1: terms of availability, because remember, access and distribution is what matters.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Most Western Union has massive distribution into retail. And I'm
- 18:57Speaker 1: talking about every individual across the planet uses this in
- 19:01Speaker 1: you know, I think it's one hundred and seventy countries.
- 19:04Speaker 1: This could be a much bigger deal than I think
- 19:06Speaker 1: a lot of people give it credit for. So kudos
- 19:08Speaker 1: to uh Salona forgetting that done. Let me go over
- 19:11Speaker 1: one other thing. I want to hit on a clip here.
- 19:13Speaker 1: This is Trump talking about the era of the United
- 19:18Speaker 1: States and why it's so important to be leaders in crypto.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 19:23Speaker 7: We want to be China at the industry. We're leading
- 19:25Speaker 7: with crypto, We're leading with AI, and I really feel
- 19:29Speaker 7: I have an obligation from this as a president. I
- 19:32Speaker 7: have to be able to make sure that all of
- 19:35Speaker 7: our industries do well. Cryptos are big industries, become actually
- 19:39Speaker 7: become somewhat mainstream, the banks have it, people have it,
- 19:42Speaker 7: and I think as the leader of the country, we
- 19:45Speaker 7: want to.
- 19:46Speaker 5: Lead in AI.
- 19:46Speaker 7: We want and we're leading China by a lot in AI,
- 19:50Speaker 7: and we're also leading in crypto.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Sometimes I listen to him and he never really says
- 19:56Speaker 1: anything like one sentence then repeats it three different ways.
- 20:00Speaker 1: But the fact that he's out there saying, hey, we
- 20:02Speaker 1: need all industries to lead around the world. Crypto is
- 20:05Speaker 1: one of them. I'm glad to hear that, because I
- 20:07Speaker 1: think this is a it's a signal not only.
- 20:10Speaker 2: For the world that we're here.
- 20:13Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it really boils
- 20:15Speaker 1: down to one thing, and that's Congress has to do it.
- 20:17Speaker 2: They have to get in get this Clarity through. That
- 20:20Speaker 2: is going to be the big one right here. Clarity
- 20:22Speaker 2: Act would.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Become law by June, that says, coming in from Novogratz
- 20:27Speaker 1: as the Senate prepares the May vote. So that's this
- 20:30Speaker 1: pretty much this month. Here we are on April twenty seventh,
- 20:32Speaker 1: as we record this, just a few more days, we
- 20:35Speaker 1: could start to see activity in the markups, even though
- 20:38Speaker 1: we won't know what's in the markup, but starting to
- 20:41Speaker 1: see activity in the markup going into the Senate, and
- 20:44Speaker 1: of course that changes everything. However, it's not showing up
- 20:47Speaker 1: right here on poly market. As we continue to see
- 20:50Speaker 1: pretty much a mid situation right here, hovering at about
- 20:53Speaker 1: forty seven percent in probability of twenty twenty six getting.
- 20:57Speaker 2: The Clarity Act through.
- 20:59Speaker 1: We're gonna be covering this a lot of the FED News,
- 21:01Speaker 1: the S and P earning season. There's gonna be a
- 21:04Speaker 1: lot happening this week as week as well as the
