22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: a lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: and sure, they definitely can be, but understanding of professional's

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 2: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,839

27

Speaker 2: National Association Member FDIC.

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Okay I talked about the fact that it's heavily concentrated

34
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: and that you know, just a few entities own most

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: of it. And when you have this heavily of a

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: concentration in an asset, anything can happen. The price spikes

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: a lot, Why, Oh, because one or more of these

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: entities decided they wanted to buy more of it. Oh,

39
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: the price drop? What happened? Well, some of these entities

40
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: decided that they didn't want as much of it anymore.

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: They can really impact supply demand and ultimately price and

42
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: as an individual investor or somebody who's trying to trade

43
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: these or hold these or buying for my kids for

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: the long term. I have zero control over that and

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: not a ton of visibility. But when you look at

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: who holds the most bitcoin coinbase, that's us individual investors

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: that are buying in our own accounts. Satoshi whoever that is.

48
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: It's an entity and mysterious entity, but they do have

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: a digital signature, so we know it's out there. We

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: just can't track the person down. Finance, Blackrock, the biggest

51
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: money manager in the world. This company here, micro Strategy.

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: This is a publicly traded stock that used to be

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: in the you know, making equipment for servers, right, it

54
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: used to be in the AIE diligence business, but it's

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: changed its business completely and for the past five years

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: it's CEO Michael Saylor. All he wants to do is

57
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: collect bitcoin and basically it's a bitcoin treasury and one

58
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: of the best performing stocks this year.

59
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: Is the interesting thing about this this tart Caleb, I

60
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: know it says as of November twenty four, election happened,

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: we saw bitcoin run.

62
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: Black Rock has actually increased their ownership.

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: They now have over five hundred and twenty eight thousand bitcoins.

64
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: So you talk about the largest treasury of money from

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: the institutional.

66
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: They're seeing a value in.

67
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: It, whereas before maybe five years ago, this tart would

68
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: look nothing like this.

69
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, not absolutely.

70
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: That's important. Like I said, it's not we're agnostic about

71
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: the situation. So just giving you the information is not

72
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: not debatable facts, just so you can be informed. Bigcoin

73
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: is held by institutions for the most part. That's not

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: something that is the that's an actual fact. Now that

75
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: could be a good thing because you can say, okay, well,

76
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: if black Rock owns this much and they're not gonna

77
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: they're very intelligent people, right, They're not gonna own something

78
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: that's not gonna go up in value. That's a sign

79
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: that's gonna go up in value. That's a sign that

80
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: you know it's gonna be even safer going forward. Or

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: you can look at it and say, well, if they

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: own this much, then they're gonna control everything, and it

83
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: kind of goes against the whole principles of it being

84
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: decentralized and Dada and the small guys that will win.

85
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: But this is this is the world does not work

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: on fairy tales.

87
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: The rich run it.

88
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: The rich have always run the world, right, There's never

89
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: been a time in human history since money was created

90
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: that the rich didn't run the world. And they run,

91
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: and they run current, they run cryptocurrency. They own the

92
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: most of it, and they control the price, and they

93
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: run it. That's just important for you to know. So

94
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: it's not like this utopia that some people think that

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: it is. That's just not the case. And I have

96
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,559
Speaker 3: a strong suspicion that they can still get because even

97
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: you know, in the Middle East when October seventh happened,

98
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 3: they got the Hamas's crypto, so bitcoin. So I don't

99
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: know how they got I don't know how they did that,

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: but that lets me know that if they want to

101
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: get your crypto, they're going to get your crypto. That's

102
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: just my own personal opinion that might not be an

103
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: actual fact, but the fact that they actually got their

104
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: their bitcoin so quickly, I just think that they have

105
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: some level of intelligence that if.

106
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: Prints it's all on the ledger. It's all on the ledger.

107
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: Now if you they can do some digital sleuthing to

108
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: find out who's who on that ledger, and that's probably

109
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: how they got it. But let me just show, uh,

110
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: go back to that chart real quick if we can,

111
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: or is I presenting got okay? So you see they're

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: the US government number seven. It owns a two hundred

113
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: and thirteen thousand bitcoin at a value. Well, now the

114
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: value is probably twenty five billion dollars. But where did

115
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: it get it's bitcoin? Right? Well, it's not like the

116
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: Treasury and Jenny Yellen was out there scooping bitcoin, right,

117
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: and it definitely wasn't happening in the administration before that.

118
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: What is it from. It's from the seizure of assets

119
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: from criminal activity that the Treasury keeps in its treasury. Right,

120
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: So the United States owns bitcoin and Trump President elect

121
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: Trump said they'll never sell it. Now he's catering to

122
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: the bitcoin crowd. It helped get him elected. But we

123
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: do have quite a bit of bitcoin in our treasury,

124
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: and if we're going to mine our own, there's going

125
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: to be a lot more. And to your pointner Shot,

126
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: it's antithetical to the way that bitcoin was created by

127
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: Satoshi Nakamoto, whoever that was, right, It was never supposed

128
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: to be this. But it's gone capitalist real quick. Why

129
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: because there's value in it, and once there's value in something.

130
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: Here come the sharks, right, And if you want to

131
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: swim with the sharks as a pilot fish or a

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: fish behind the pilot fish and make some of that

133
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: money too and invest in it and learn about it,

134
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: you can do that, or you can just say that's

135
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: just capitalism run amuck. I don't want any part of it.

136
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: But I assume if you're watching this you're interested in it.

137
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the next line real quick. Anyway,

138
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: there's more. We're going to call them the whales. Yeah,

139
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: they're whales. There are the whales. Right. Chinese government has

140
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: a ton of bitcoin fidelity. Look, these are big companies, right,

141
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: robinhood as a lot, but that is held for clients

142
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: like us, right, so we dow individuals do have it.

143
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

144
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

145
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 4: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

146
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 4: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

147
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

148
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

149
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

150
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

151
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

152
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 4: were here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

153
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

154
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

155
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

156
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,800
