WEBVTT - 2022 Team Favorites:  Wen Lambo

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Hi. Hi a Mohammed Faruk, a producer with the Bloomberg

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Trypto podcast team. We're taking a post for the holiday

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.959
<v Speaker 1>and sharing some of our in house favorites as we

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>get ready for the new year. Today's replay, He's an

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>episode that keeps resonating in my mind while seeing all

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the crypto dramas unfolding everywhere. It relates to one of

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Trypto's magic icons. In my mind, I've always seen a

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.879
<v Speaker 1>crypto die hard sitting somewhere on his computer, watching the

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Trypto prices drag dramatically up and down between mountaintops and

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>rock bottoms, and thinking to himself, Yeah, why not. Maybe

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe I can seize the right moment and harness the

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>riches of Tripto, ruminating over and over about one thing

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:05.479
<v Speaker 1>in Lambeau. When Lambeau to you, my friend, I give

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you this episode, and I hope you are okay. There's

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 1>a scene in the two thousand and six film The

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Pursuit of Happiness in which actor Will Smith, who plays

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a single father who's broke, homeless looking for a fresh start,

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>comes across the stranger stepping out of a red Ferrari.

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Smith says, I just have two questions for you. What

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>do you do and how do you do it? The guy,

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>super well dressed as you might imagine, replies with a

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>confident smile. I'm a stockbroker. If this movie were made,

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>say two, that stockbroker would probably be a crypto brow

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and that Ferrari would be a Lamborghini. For years, some

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>crypto investors have been consumed by a single persistent question

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>when Lambeau. On this episode, we're going to tackle that

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>very question. Bloomberger Potsa Hannah Miller actually interviewed an n

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>FP artist who blew up a Lamborghini in protests and

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Peter Saddington, a crypto venture capitalist. Crypto is really fast.

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Cars are really fast, and sort a lot of ways

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>crypto cars. It just makes a lot of sense. Will

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>join me now to take on this burning question about

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the most visible status symbols in all of crypto.

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Hanna Pizza, so delighted you can join us today, Pizza,

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel obliged to start with you, and I'm going

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:13.399
<v Speaker 1>to specifically say, please describe the space you are standing

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 1>in right now, the space well, first and foremost, thank

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you so much for this opportunity to hang out with

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you guys, and maybe tell a little bit about my story.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Speaking a story, This garage was actually created in my

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>mind years before I even built the garage, and so

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>this was truly my dream to have two screens, building code, writing,

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>writing software, building companies, and then when I'm done with

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>all of that, I can turn it all off and

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>put my hands to building race cars and go carts.

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>So I'm living the dream, baby, I'm living it. So

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>do you pizza have a Lamborghini? Yes, there's a picture.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>There's a picture of of my the bitcoin Lambeau behind me.

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>So this is the famous bitcoin lambou that was purchased

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>with bitcoin in two and how much would that bitcoin Lambeau, Like,

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>what's the what's the price that that would have sold for? Now?

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>What current bitcoin rates? So you could pretty much multiply

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>it by four times. And so I bought this bitcoin

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:24.559
<v Speaker 1>lambo for forty five bitcoin when bitcoin was about five

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars, and so we're sitting about four x that

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>right now. So if you're looking at a two hundred

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollar Lambo, you're looking at really maybe at eight

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollar Lambo. But in my defense, the smiles per

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 1>gallon that I got out of my God, that is

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>the wind. I'm not convinced that SMG is a real metric. Oh,

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>come on, SMG. It's totally something that the car guys

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>know all about, right, guys, bucked me up? Uh huh? Well,

0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>how do you wrote a story that is all about

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the culture that Pizza is so clearly an enthusiastic participant in,

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>which is you know, crypto mostly dudes, not exclusively dudes

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and fast cars, and so please tell us a little

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 1>bit more about your reporting and how you found Peter

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>in the first place. Yeah. Well, the inspiration behind this

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>story was one of my favorite crypto memes, which is

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>when Lambeau and it refers to you know, you're becoming

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>so successful with crypto trading, your assets have sword and value,

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>you're super wealthy, and you can purchase a luxury sports

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 1>car like that's the signal that you've made it. Um.

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>So I had heard about Peter um with his Lamborghini

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>purchase that he didn't bitcoin. I knew about him. I

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>also know his twin, so it was a happy connection.

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Um and I figured you'd be the perfect person to

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about this because he kind of led the charge

0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>in terms of buying Lamborghini's in bitcoin. You know. So

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.599
<v Speaker 1>your story was about this culture, but it was also

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>about the fact that in the current crypto winter, where

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>not everyone currently has, say, the discretionary income to spend

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin on a on a Lamborghini, there are still people

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 1>who are making it work. Yeah. I was curious to

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 1>see how crypto winter affected demand for Lamborghinis, if it

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>affected it at all. Um So I set out. I

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>spoke to a bunch of luxury car dealers. I talked

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 1>to people in the crypto car community. Uh, and I

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 1>tried gathering is as much evidence as possible to to

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.839
<v Speaker 1>write this story. And it was really interesting what I

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 1>came across. When I talked to Peter, for example, he

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>mentioned that, you know, he was still all in, and

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>that his friends weren't really hurting, that they're all really

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>smart investors. They've made, you know, their gains in crypto,

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>they've planned wisely, and that he didn't know of anyone

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>selling their cars. And then I spoke to a crypto

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>specific auto dealer called auto coin Cars, and they said

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>they actually saw a lot of people buying Lamborghinis at

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>this time because they wanted to switch from crypto to

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>an asset that actually appreciates and value that Lamborghinis there there,

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>they hold their value really well. They can go up

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>in price, and you know, so they wanted to kind

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>of escape the volatility of crypto by purchasing these luxury cars. Okay,

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a part of me that is like, you're switching

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>out of a riskier asset class into fast cars in

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>order to make wiser investment decisions. I have several falls

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>up questions about the Rationalee, Peter, I'll turn to you,

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Is it in fact true that these are cars that

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>hold their value once you drive them off the lots?

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>The real answer is it depends. And for all of

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the Porsche fans out there, you'll love hearing me say

0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.559
<v Speaker 1>that Porsche's, especially some of the real expend some ones

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>really hold their value well and generally they're in my opinion, overinflated. However,

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to Lamborghini's, we found, especially for some

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>of the older generations and the older models, they do

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>hold their value and they do rise in price. And

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>so what what Hannah has found is not wrong. It

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>really depends on the type of car and the type

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>of make and model. And what we found, especially with

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the network in the community that I have in the

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>crypto and car space. These are savvy investors and so

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>for them to purchase some random Lamborghini is rarely the case.

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>It's usually a well thought out process of how can

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I dump this, how can I dump this this token

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>into this car that I assume that this car is

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna go up and appreciate in this particular car market,

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'll get a great six months out of it,

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, smiles, broke allen and maybe convert it back

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>into crypto. What has been really intriguing for me being

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>behind closed doors and Telegram groups and we chat groups

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and discord groups around crypto and cars is that there's

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of interperson trading from crypto two cars. That is,

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>let's just say, crypto allows for the transaction to move

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>quite smoothly, and so we're seeing this really popular market

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 1>of you know, individuals essentially being being able to say, well,

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>why should I go to a dealership, why should I

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>have it on consignment when you're willing to give me

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.719
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin and I'm willing to give you the title, right,

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's like an OTC market for cars in crypto.

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>It these types of markets emerge indeed they do. They

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 1>also emerge and shall we say shady or circumstances. So

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, some some of the reporting that's been out

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.319
<v Speaker 1>there is the fact that some of these cars are

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>so custom so unique, that they make easy targets for

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>when the driver or the owners are you know, come

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 1>under say, regulatory scrutiny, criminal scrutiny. It's almost like in

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the same way that in the very early days of

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 1>UM Russia and Russian individuals being sanctioned. The first one

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>of the first things that people are going afterwards, like

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the yachts. They're like, oh, that yachts. Definitely that guy's yachts.

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 1>We know exactly where that yata is. We're going to

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>take that yacht. Why do you think people, even people

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>who should perhaps be better at hiding their tracks, find

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.599
<v Speaker 1>it so hard to resist the siren song of extremely

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>distinctive and expensive cards. I think there's a human nous

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and a human need in all of us actually for nice,

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>shiny things and new things. Let's be honest, don't we

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.599
<v Speaker 1>like new And so it's interesting with the rise of

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>cryptocurrency and obviously this meme that I love, actually I

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>love this meme because it brings a lot of public

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>eye to the world of cryptoc currency, and they might say, oh,

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you're you're just buying luxury goods. Well, luxury goods are

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 1>also great investments if you invest wisely and you purchase wisely.

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>This is not investment advice. Is the investment advice for sure? Uh?

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>And so why are why are these types of individuals

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>attracted to it? You know what, crypto and cars goes

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>hand in hand. If we think of the foundational element

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>of crypto and cars, it's kind of speculative and it's

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of fun. Crypto is really fast, cars are really fast,

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and so in a lot of ways, crypto and cars

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.679
<v Speaker 1>it just makes a lot of sense. And we're seeing

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a huge rise in crypto and car meetups that are

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.200
<v Speaker 1>popping up all over the world. Right, So I suppose

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>they're you know, they're kind of multiple sizes of this equation.

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 1>But something that you said about crypto and cars going

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 1>hand in hand. You know, if if anybody outside of

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 1>I would say, like crypto insider universe recognize as a

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>crypto person, it's probably gonna be sound back from Trade,

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>who famously does not drive a Lambo. How come he

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>seems to be the type of individual where fast cars

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and these types of things probably isn't his cup of tea,

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's okay too. What I love about crypto and

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>cars is that if you've never heard about cryptocurrency, getting

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>in being in the car community, crypto is moving its

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>message through that, and so I love the fact that

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>people are learning about it. Sam bang fan Freed. He

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>serves a different market, he serves a different image, and

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>good or bad. Some people call him the spokesperson of

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.079
<v Speaker 1>crypto now since he's all the way up on the hill,

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>good or bad, he's getting the message out and for me,

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 1>that's a big win. Yeah. So he might not have

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 1>bought a Lambo for himself, but he actually bought one

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>for a famous crypto Twitter personality who you know was

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>celebrating him being this massive philanthropist giving away his money

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and said, hey, you're so rich, how about you buy anyone?

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>And SPF came through and did buy him one. So

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>it might not be for himself, but it might be

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 1>for other people. Who is this person for whom he

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:44.440
<v Speaker 1>bought a lambo? His like user name is Greg. We'll

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.640
<v Speaker 1>be right back with more from Bloomberger post at Hannah

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Milla and from crypto venture capitalist Peter Saddington on Lambo's

0:12:50.520 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and crypto culture. You know, US politics is a complex place,

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and it certainly goes in terms of cycles of like

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>populist backlash, and you know, people worried about consumption and

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 1>over consumption, whether you're talking about the climates or environmental

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>or other angles. And I suppose this is a question

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>for you and Um Pizza both. Is there any fear

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that you know, being this luxury good forward increases the

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>potential backlash from people who are like, I'm so glad

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you're buying Lambos, but I just lost all my money

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 1>in a Celsius bankruptcy filing. Yeah. Well, it was really

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>interesting that when Bloomberg interviewed the founders of three Hours Capital,

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>they specifically distanced themselves from lambeau culture, and they said,

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>we don't have Lambos, we don't have ferraris. You know,

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:51.560
<v Speaker 1>we bike to work. I think, yeah, okay, Um, and

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>they It's very interesting that there are people who do

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.200
<v Speaker 1>try to distance themselves from this very flashy symbol of

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>wealth and excess. And for the story, I actually interviewed

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>an n FP artist who blew up a Lamborghini in

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>protests of this consumerist culture within Crypto, this get rich

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>quick ideal, and he ended up selling n f T

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>s inspired by that detonation for two point two million dollars.

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's it's a very interesting cycle. But yes,

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I do think there's this concern that this flash, these lambos,

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 1>these ferraris could again draw greater scrutiny from the government

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and not help Crypto's overall image and pizza. If you

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 1>let's say, you know, I'm we're talking, I don't know

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the cryptom was fast. It could be three months from now,

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 1>it could be five years from now. But let's say

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>people are no longer into these kinds of cars. What

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>do you think would be the sort of the next

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>niche and crypto where people are like, okay, but this

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 1>is the new thing, this is the new states a

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>symbol and everybody's excited about it. Well, I would have

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to say absolutely that fast sports cars will never go away.

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I think there's just too much of a primal desire

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in man to just go fast. Now, you do ask

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 1>an interesting question about where we're gonna be putting money next. Well,

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 1>we've seen Facebook, We've seen a lot of big companies.

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Meta is going into the web three auto space that

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>defy space. And so certainly we've seen a rise in

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>digital real estate and digital property. You guys have covered

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Snoop Dogg and talking about all the digital property and

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 1>n f T s that he's selling, and so we

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>have seen this growth in digital property continuing to grow,

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's going to be a gold mine

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>for the right people, the right operators, and the right investors.

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Are you gonna have lambos in your metaborth? Oh? Absolutely absolutely.

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>It has to be true to form. It has to

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>be What color will they be? What color do you

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>want it to be? I'm not going to drive one,

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>so let's make it. Let's make it red. I think

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>a red Lambeau makes a lot of sense. It red

0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>lambos and make it orange for bitcoin, orange for bitcoin.

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>It's even more so Anna, as a person who also

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>does not own a Lambo, I want to give you

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the last words. Yeah. Well, it's interesting that you guys

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 1>are talking about the metaverse. I mean, one of the

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>auto deal dealers I spoke with for the story, they're

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 1>super high end, they're in Beverly Hills. Uh, they have

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>not seen any impact on Lamborghini demand when it comes

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to Crypto Winter. They told me that there they totally

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>have their eyes in the metaverse and they're actually looking

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>into like pairing digital cars and digital driving experiences with

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>these super high end vehicles that they sell. I can't

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>wait to see how some entrepreneur tries to solve the

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>problem of parking in in web three so fantastic. Sounds

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>like a duel to me. I mean, shouldn't shouldn'ty just

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>fight it out? Isn't that what they really want to do? No,

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I think they should race. That's obviously the solution to

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that one. I'll take that too, all right. Well, Pizza,

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.640
