We're gonna be talking about 46 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 4: the business world, investing, the musical side of things, group 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 4: economics well. 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 6: As long as with cryptocurrency as well. 49 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 4: So you know, this is going to be one of 50 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 4: these EYL conversations where you get a million a million 51 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 4: dollars worth a game from people that have done it 52 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: at a high level. That's doing it at a high level. 53 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 4: So I encourage everybody to listen. It's very rare that 54 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: you get an opportunity to head it's kind of information, 55 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 4: especially from two gentlemen together at the same time. 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 6: So let's get into it. Let's get into it, all. 57 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 4: Right, Ryan, I want to talk with I want to 58 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask you the first question. So you spoke 59 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 4: about before as far as mentorship right in college, and 60 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: you had an experience with Sandy Green, PhD. Right, So 61 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 4: part of I feel like the community that we have 62 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 4: built is mentorship. It's kind of like an online mentorship, 63 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 4: and you never know how somebody can change your life, 64 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 4: and experiences can change your life. 65 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: So can you talk about that for sure? 66 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 7: First of all, this echo is crazy. What I will say, though, 67 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 7: is that mentorship is really like having an extended family member, 68 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 7: somebody who's going to make an investment in you when 69 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 7: you are already hard working, when you already know that 70 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 7: you have the talent, you have the tenacity, you have 71 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 7: the drive, the desire, the discipline, the dedication, and sometimes 72 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 7: you just need the direction. And so for me, mentorship 73 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 7: really was that moment when you know, my parents, they're 74 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 7: from the Salvation Army, so they have always been storing 75 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 7: up treasures in heaven. So what that means is that 76 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 7: they sacrifice treasures on earth in the service of others 77 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 7: to have treasures in heaven. That doesn't pay for a 78 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 7: Harvard education, you know what I'm saying. And so they 79 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 7: were able to actually inspire me to apply to Harvard 80 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 7: very early. And I was lucky when I was there 81 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 7: to actually have a mentor. And I truly believe that 82 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 7: that made the difference between the trajectory that I already 83 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 7: was on and where I've been able to get to now. 84 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 4: So I want to ask you the next follow up question, Ryan, 85 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 4: is stock question right in the long Lines where the 86 00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 4: market one day. 87 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 6: Apple Apple. 88 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 4: You invested in Apple in two thousand and nine, and 89 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 4: I believe you have a sixteen thousand percent rate of 90 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 4: return on that initial investment. If anybody watches the show, 91 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 4: we always Ian always talks about. 92 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 6: Buy and hold, buy and hold, and a. 93 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 4: Lot of people get caught up in day trading and rotations, 94 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 4: and he always says, you're gonna rotate your way into 95 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 4: poverty by leaving your positions. So can you talk about 96 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 4: that the value and what made you invest in Apple 97 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 4: early and what made you keep it Because a lot 98 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 4: of times people might have had one hundred percent, three 99 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: hundred percent rate of return on their money and they're 100 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 4: taking it out. You left it in and now you're 101 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 4: up sixteen hundred sixteen thousand. You're up sixteen thousand percent 102 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 4: on your initial investment. 103 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 6: So talk about that. 104 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. For sure. 105 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 7: To be a great long term investor, it really just 106 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 7: comes down to three elements. The first and the second 107 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 7: you can The third is up to the market in 108 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 7: the economy. The first is just time. When do you 109 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 7: start and how long do you hold? For me, my 110 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 7: holding time horizon is always twenty years. And the reason 111 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 7: why my time horizon is twenty years is because when 112 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 7: you look at the history, anytime you've held if we 113 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 7: talk about the S and P five hundred, or we 114 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,119 Speaker 7: talk about the total Stock Market Index, anytime you've held 115 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 7: for twenty years, you've had a zero percent chance of loss, 116 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 7: a zero percent chance of loss. I know a lot 117 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 7: of people who are new to investing. I know for sure. 118 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 7: My parents are from the Caribbean. They thought being in 119 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 7: the stock market is just gambling. They see people actually 120 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 7: do exactly what we were just talking about, that rotation 121 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 7: where you just leave too much of that money on 122 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 7: the table. You see it do one summersault or two summersaults. 123 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 7: You've never seen your money dance like that, and you 124 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 7: take it out. But twenty years is the time horizon. 125 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 7: Number two is the rate of savings, and number three 126 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 7: is the rate of return. When I make an investment, 127 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 7: I want to be an owner, and ownership is not 128 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 7: about a short term play. Just think if you actually 129 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 7: bought a franchise and you put somebody in that franchise 130 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 7: and on day one they were selling let's say, twenty Hamburgers. 131 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 7: Then in two years they were selling three hundred Hamburgers. 132 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 7: Why would you sell a franchise if it's actually delivering 133 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 7: for you. So what I will say is that the 134 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 7: reason I held though had to do with mentorship. I 135 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 7: watched my investment go from one hundred thousand to three 136 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty thousand, and I remember a conversation I 137 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 7: had with my mentor. Said, hey, look, man, I took 138 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 7: your advice and man, one hundred thousand to three fifty 139 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 7: I'm gonna cash out, get something nice for my mom. 140 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 7: And he gave me an ultimatum at that time. He said, Ryan, listen, 141 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 7: you can go ahead and cash out, give something nice 142 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 7: to your mom, but we'll shake hands and I'll never 143 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 7: teach you anything again. Or you figure out a different 144 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 7: way to give something nice to your mom, and hold 145 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 7: on to that investment and we'll check in every single 146 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 7: year around tax time and we'll see what it grows to. 147 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 7: And when we checked in this year, that one hundred 148 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 7: thousand I got it on my birthday September twenty fifth, 149 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 7: two thousand and nine, that one hundred thousand was just 150 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 7: under sixteen million. 151 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: And if I hadn't. 152 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 4: Don't let that, don't let that go over your hand. 153 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 4: Clap it up for that, ladies and gentlemen. 154 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 7: But that's the difference that mentorship makes because for me, 155 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 7: if it was up to me, I look in the mirror, 156 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 7: I'm thinking, Man, I'm smart. I made a great investment. 157 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 7: It's giving me a great return. And sometimes the lens 158 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 7: of expertise and the lens of experience can actually provide 159 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 7: you wings that allow you to fly further than you 160 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 7: can fly on your own. And so that's why I 161 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 7: think first and foremost when I look at a company, 162 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 7: I want to be in a company that when I 163 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 7: look around, I use it every day and the people 164 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 7: I love they can't live without it. So when I'm 165 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 7: looking at Instagram, I want to be an owner in Facebook. 166 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 7: When I'm looking at devices that I'm seeing all around, 167 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 7: I want to be an owner in that company. When 168 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 7: I'm seeing the platform that I'm able to even listen 169 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 7: to podcasts on, I want to be an owner. And 170 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 7: you got to give the business time to materialize into 171 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 7: the growth that you're looking for, because you want your 172 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 7: money to work for you, So give the business the 173 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 7: time to grow. 174 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 4: Does that sound familiar if anybody watches market, mondays, this 175 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 4: is the same thing that we've been saying for a 176 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 4: very long time. You gotta buy good companies, hold them 177 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 4: for twenty years tech companies. So these things that you 178 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 4: keep hearing, as he said, it was mentorship. So you 179 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 4: can get mentorship in a variety of different ways. So 180 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 4: when you receive the information online, it's important to take 181 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 4: heed to that because that one hundred thousand to three 182 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 4: fifty is a great flip, but one hundred thousand to 183 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 4: sixteen million is out of this world flip. 184 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: It's different. It's a little different. 185 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 7: And I say this like honestly, when you think about it, man, 186 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 7: think about the companies that have done extremely well. They've 187 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 7: always done well over a twenty to thirty year time horizon. 188 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 7: And I want you to think, if you got into 189 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 7: Amazon when it first IPO, when you got into Monster 190 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 7: Energy when it first IPO, if you would have sold 191 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 7: at a thousand percent I'm talking about ten x your money, 192 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 7: you would have left tens of thousands of percent on 193 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 7: the table. And a beautiful piece about money is when 194 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 7: you put it to work for you. It's one of 195 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 7: the greatest employees because it never has a sick day, 196 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 7: it never goes on vacation and never asks for time off. 197 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 7: It never gets old, it never gets weak. It's always 198 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 7: there to keep working for you unless you actually go 199 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 7: ahead and cash out. So when you actually earn the 200 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 7: money and you put it to work, let it be 201 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 7: your greatest employee and don't let it just be one. 202 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 7: If I told you right now that the way that 203 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 7: the stock market works is non discriminatory, the twenty percent 204 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 7: that you are making a year is the same twenty 205 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 7: percent that's afforded to Warren Buffett or any other hedge fund. 206 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 7: The difference is how many dollars do you have growing 207 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 7: by twenty percent. If you got one hundred dollars, well 208 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 7: then that's twenty dollars. If you got one hundred thousand, 209 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 7: well that's twenty thousand. If you got a million, well 210 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 7: that's two hundred thousand. You got ten million, where y'all 211 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 7: can continue to do the math. So when you actually 212 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 7: earn the money, understand it's like a lifetime robot level 213 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 7: employee that will always, always, always work for you. So 214 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 7: give it the time to manifest into the wealth that 215 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 7: you wanted to create. 216 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 4: There you have it, Yes, clap it up for that hill, Harper. 217 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 4: Let me ask you this question. The first question is 218 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 4: going to be very simple. Why bitcoin why Bitcoin? I 219 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 4: know you're you're bitcoin bull. You're extremely bullish on bitcoin. 220 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 4: You built the platform. We're going to talk about the 221 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 4: Black Wall Street. But why bitcoin? 222 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 8: You know, bitcoin is ostensibly a store of value and 223 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 8: a perfect form of money, and money is changing. It's 224 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 8: changing very rapidly. We're moving very quickly out of fiat 225 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 8: and hard money currency into digital currency and cryptocurrency. The 226 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 8: question is where is it headed and how can we 227 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 8: be early adopters and get into the space. Ryan is 228 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 8: just talking about ownership. The beautiful thing about bitcoin is that, 229 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 8: as Ryan just described, it is agnostic to race, it's 230 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 8: agnostic to barriers of entry. It's literally just real estate 231 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 8: on a blockchain, real estate on a ledger, and if 232 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 8: you purchase a set number of satoshi's, you own a 233 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 8: little bit of that real estate and it's a finite amount. 234 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 8: What creates value with scarcity. That's why waterfront real estate 235 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 8: is extremely valuable. It's more valuable than the real estate 236 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 8: that's inland because there's more inland property than waterfront property. 237 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 8: Scarcity drives value, and bitcoin is the most scarce crypto 238 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 8: asset out there. Twenty one million be minted, there'll be 239 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 8: at least three to five million lost or disappear. So 240 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 8: you're really talking about in real way, somewhere around eighteen 241 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 8: million bitcoin in any type of circulated supply. There are 242 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 8: forty eight million millionaires in the world. There's not enough 243 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 8: bitcoin to go for each millionaire to even hold one. 244 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 8: You know, we will be talking about setoci's in the future, 245 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 8: not even talking about bitcoin. But bitcoin isn't the only 246 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 8: asset class in this space, but it is the one 247 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 8: to enter into. 248 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 6: Now. 249 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 8: That's why my goal is to each black person in 250 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 8: America hold it LEAs a million Stochi's. Put show hands, 251 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 8: who has at least a million Satoshi's in their wallet 252 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 8: right now? At least a million? 253 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: A million? 254 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 6: Raise, raise your hand if. 255 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 8: You got a million Stochi's in your wallet. 256 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 4: If you if you don't know what a stosi is, Okay, y'all, 257 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 4: don't watch Market. 258 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 6: Monday's shame on you. So let's let's let's. 259 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 8: You don't watch market mondays, I see, I. 260 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 4: Think shame on you should be a shame of yourself. 261 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 4: All right, let's have this conversation. Then what is what 262 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 4: is it? Can you explain to them what is sure? 263 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 8: So so, so check this out y'all. Back in the day, 264 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 8: gold was valued in terms of bricks, like how many 265 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 8: bricks you got are in terms of weight? Right, And 266 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 8: then as bricks got so expensive, they had to have 267 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 8: a smaller fractal value of the gold, so they broke 268 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 8: it down into pricing gold into ounces. The same thing 269 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 8: is true for a setoshi. There are one hundred million 270 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 8: satosis in every one bitcoin, just like there are one 271 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 8: hundred pennies and a dollar. There are one hundred million 272 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 8: satoshi's that make up one bitcoin. So what does that mean. 273 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 8: What it means is a satoshi is one hundred million 274 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 8: fractal share of one bitcoin. So as you build your satochi's, 275 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 8: you don't need to just go out and buy a bitcoin. 276 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 8: I can go into the black wall street wallert right now, 277 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 8: check the current price of bitcoin. 278 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: It is right. 279 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 8: Now, real time, forty eight thousand, seven hundred and thirty 280 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 8: and seventy five cent right. And and so if I 281 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 8: want to buy right now live, I'm gonna buy ten dollars. 282 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 8: I'm gonna preview my buy, I go in, I confirm, 283 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 8: and then now I just bought point two eight two bitcoin, right, 284 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 8: I just did that, right, And so a Satoshi is 285 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 8: a fractal share of a bitcoin. So I just bought Sato. 286 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 8: I bought a fractal share of a bitcoin right here 287 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 8: on stage. And so my goal is to have every 288 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 8: black person in America hold at least one million Toto. 289 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 8: She's with basically forty million of us in this country. 290 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 8: If we held a million Satohi's each, we would literally 291 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 8: control the bitcoin market worldwide. People would have to come 292 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 8: through us, and it'd be the first time in history 293 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 8: that black Americans have controlled an asset class. And when 294 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 8: you start controlling asset classes, you're able to do what 295 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 8: set price. And if we're able to set price of 296 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 8: a valuable, ascending value asset class, we have the other 297 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 8: thing that's very important, leverage. Leverage is the critical piece. 298 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 8: And so what I love what Ryan's talking about. He's 299 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 8: talking about ownership. I'm talking about ownership. And if you 300 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 8: think about ownership, we need to strategically own a sending 301 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 8: value asset classes like high value blue chip stocks and 302 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 8: hold them for long term, like a sending goal acid 303 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 8: class like bitcoin, hold it long term. This is not 304 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 8: a trading mentality. This is not Robin Hood. Robinhood is 305 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 8: Robin the hood y'all. It's trying to get people to trade, 306 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 8: because how do they make their money. They make their 307 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 8: money off exchange. The more you trade, the more money 308 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 8: they make. They want you jumping in and out of positions. 309 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 8: That is not the way to build wealth. I never 310 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 8: want you to sell the bitcoin you buy. What are 311 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 8: you gonna do with it? You say, here, well, I 312 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 8: still need liquidity, Sure, you still need liquidity. What you're 313 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 8: gonna do. You're gonna buy it, You're gonna hold it, 314 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 8: and then on the platform you're going to take out 315 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 8: a loan against the equity or the upside of that asset. 316 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 8: You're never gonna sell it, and the you're gonna pass 317 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 8: that bitcoin onto your children, and they'll pass it on 318 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 8: to their children's children. You can just think of bitcoin 319 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 8: like wealthy people used to think of houses, Right, You 320 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 8: get these real high value mansions. They're not flipping in 321 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 8: and out of the house to extract the liquidity. They're 322 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 8: holding the house and then just taking the equity out 323 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 8: and reinvesting that equity into other assets and or liquidity 324 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 8: challenges that they may have. Think about the same way. 325 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 8: You're gonna be able to do that with bitcoin. On 326 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 8: the black Wall Street Platform. 327 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 4: Speaking of that, Yes, clap it up for that, ladies 328 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 4: and gentlemen, speaking of that. Speaking of bitcoin, So, Ryan, 329 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 4: going back to you, you had sixteen thousand percent rate 330 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 4: of return on Apple, but I believe you have a 331 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 4: thirty two thousand percent rate of return. 332 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 6: On bitcoin, right, is that correct? 333 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 2: That's right? 334 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 6: All right? 335 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 4: So you was obviously earlier invested in bitcoin as well. 336 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 4: So when did you first invest in bitcoin? 337 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, anytime I have an interview or anytime I actually 338 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 7: run into any one, they always say, Ryan, man, I 339 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 7: heard about your laptop. Well, that laptop was a whole 340 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 7: story in and of itself, and I was working on 341 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 7: some music and I lost the files. So when you 342 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 7: work on music, it's not enough to just have the 343 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 7: finished record. You need the files. So my laptop went missing. 344 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 7: I put up a million dollars as a reward for 345 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 7: the return of the intellectual property, because who wants to 346 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 7: pay a million dollars for a laptop? You could just 347 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 7: go to Apple get one for two thousand dollars. Well, 348 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 7: the laptop turned up, long story short, and the gentleman 349 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 7: who found the laptop actually sued me to actually retrieve 350 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 7: that reward one million dollars, and he actually won in 351 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 7: New York court. And the next day I was on 352 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 7: the cover of the New York Post. I sent it 353 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 7: to my mom. She said, at least you look nice. 354 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 7: I remember that. 355 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 356 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 7: I had a nice suit on, right, But the headline 357 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 7: was rap weasel. 358 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 2: First of all, rap weasel? Does that look like me? 359 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 7: Rap weasel must pay one million? And then the next 360 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 7: day I went to just go ahead and get a 361 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 7: breakfast sandwich, and uh, it's the same place I go 362 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 7: every day, and today this guy who is behind the 363 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 7: county you want to take a picture with me. I said, well, 364 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 7: I come here every day. Why do you want to 365 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 7: take a picture with me? He said, well, because you 366 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 7: want to cover the New York Post. You the rap weasel? Okay, 367 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 7: all right, you want to take a picture. 368 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: Okay. 369 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 7: But the reason why that story is so important is 370 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 7: because when you lose a judgment, well, then the federal 371 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 7: government or the state government can just come in and 372 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 7: freeze your assets. And so upon losing that one million 373 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 7: dollar lawsuit, they froze two point three million dollars in 374 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 7: my account. And I was in November twenty twelve, and 375 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 7: that was a moment at which I started to think, Man, 376 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 7: you know, do I really want a centralized currency to 377 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 7: actually be controlled? And I'm talking about they just took 378 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 7: double I only lost a million, while you take two 379 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 7: point three, right, So I said, look, we got to 380 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 7: find a different way. And luckily at that time, you know, 381 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 7: I'm in a stute student. 382 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: Of the game. 383 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 7: And if you look back, all of this is verified. 384 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 2: Look back. 385 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 7: In June twenty thirteen, I put out a tweet I said, 386 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 7: from now on, pay me in bitcoin, twenty thirteen. 387 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 2: And what happened was I. 388 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 7: Had a Shopify store twenty thirteen. So I'm early in Shopify, 389 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 7: and bitcoin became the means by which I wanted to 390 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 7: be paid. And I still do that to this day. 391 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 7: But to give you a case in point, I sold 392 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 7: an album five dollars the day, It's worth like seven hundred. 393 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 7: I sold a hoodie forty seven dollars today is worth 394 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 7: like six thousand. I sold a couple of meet and 395 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 7: greets total price two thousand today is worth like one 396 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 7: hundred and twenty two thousand. And that's just the differentiation 397 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 7: of being able to get in early. And I know 398 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 7: some of y'all might be thinking, like, man, I can't 399 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 7: turn the time back to twenty thirteen. But I'll tell 400 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 7: you right now, even if you buy some subtocis today, 401 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 7: you're still early. But you don't want to be amongst 402 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 7: the folks that say, you know what today it was 403 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 7: either just a footnote in the history of my life. 404 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: Or it was a game changer, a life changer. 405 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 7: And when we talk about assets and when we talk 406 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 7: about ownership and we talk about being able to buy 407 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 7: fractionally and being an asset class where there is scarcity, 408 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 7: that's what that opportunity in cryptocurrency provides. 409 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: And so, yeah, thirty two thousand percent return. 410 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, when I got into bitcoin, it was trading at 411 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 7: about one hundred and twenty two dollars per coin. We 412 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 7: just looked at the prices forty eight thousand. Y'all could 413 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 7: do the math. 414 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 2: How much? 415 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 6: How much money did you put it in? 416 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: What should we ain't gotta take that? 417 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 8: Hey? 418 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 2: You really? 419 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 8: And let me say something. This is so this is 420 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 8: so important what he's saying. And I gotta I gotta 421 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 8: reinforce this, y'all. This isn't just about individuals making money, okay, 422 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 8: this is this is about life or death, and this 423 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 8: is real talk. In eighteen sixty three, when the Emancipation 424 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 8: Proclamation was signed, black people in America held a little 425 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 8: less than one percent of American wealth. That's after four 426 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 8: hundred years of free chattel slavery, and the greatest well 427 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 8: transfer in the history of this world happened. If you 428 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 8: were despicable enough to want to hold property to literally 429 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 8: extract value from people who had melanated skin. They killed us, 430 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 8: they us, they raped us, they separated families to build wealth. 431 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 8: Now fast forward one hundred and fifty eight years later 432 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 8: to right now, August twenty twenty one, people say, oh, 433 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 8: hell man, let's just talk about making money. Don't get 434 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 8: too heavy. No no, no, no no. We have to 435 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 8: speak true to this. This country is built off the 436 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 8: back of our labor and is built off of building 437 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 8: wealth off of us, and we right now still hold 438 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 8: only one percent of American wealth. We have to collectively 439 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 8: work together, jump into asset classes and start building leverage 440 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 8: that is decentralized. Exactly what he was talking about, the 441 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 8: idea of operating our own microeconomies outside of centralized institutions 442 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 8: and the banking system which has literally stolen trillions of 443 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 8: dollars out of the black community through all sorts of onerous, 444 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 8: racist and institutionally systemic and racist policies, procedures, redlining. We 445 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 8: can go through all that history. We don't need to, 446 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,479 Speaker 8: but we know where we're at now. What he's talking about, 447 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 8: what we're talking about right now is literally about life 448 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 8: or death. Is not just about Hey man, can I 449 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 8: come up sixteen thousand percent? Can I come up thirty 450 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 8: two thousand percent? 451 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 2: No? 452 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 8: No, no, How can we work together to actually start to 453 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 8: control real wealth? Because why is real wealth important? I 454 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 8: believe you cannot have social justice without economic justice. So 455 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 8: all this stuff we've been talking about, we talk about 456 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 8: mass incarceration, police brutality, health care disparities, education gaps. If 457 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 8: you trace it back to the money, what are the 458 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 8: communities that are hit the hardest economically fragile and poor communities. 459 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 8: We change the wealth factor in our community, we change 460 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 8: all that other stuff. We get it wrong. We start 461 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 8: trying to work on all these things from the top. 462 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 8: We got to start the route, which is the money 463 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 8: in the economics. Let's go, y'all, let's go. 464 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, Hill. 465 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 4: Let me let me ask you a question, because I 466 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 4: want to kind of get people a framework. A lot 467 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 4: of times they look at investing and they're like, Okay, 468 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 4: I'm investing something and I can't. 469 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 6: Take it out. Cryptocurrency. 470 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 4: The word currency is a little misleading because it's like, 471 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 4: who's gonna want to pay for pizza with bitcoin when 472 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 4: it's gonna. 473 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 6: Go up in value? 474 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 4: Right, So it's like, I'm investing in cryptocurrency, but I 475 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 4: can't spend it. It's like, but you bring up a 476 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 4: good point about lending, right, Lending against your bitcoin something 477 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 4: that I learned about in twenty seventeen when I first 478 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 4: got into space and a friend of mine that was 479 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 4: educating me on it. He was like, you know, the 480 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 4: whole point is not to really liquidate your bitcoin, but 481 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 4: you might need sometimes where you need capital, and you 482 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 4: can actually lends your bitcoin out and you get an 483 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 4: interest rate on that, but you still keep ownership of it. 484 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 4: That's something that is very interesting to me, and I 485 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 4: think that that's going to be even more prevalent as 486 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 4: time goes on. So I think it's important for people 487 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 4: to have at least the baseline education on that. Can 488 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 4: you talk about that as far as lending bitcoin? 489 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 8: Sure, so when we talk about holding an asset, hopefully 490 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 8: you're using money that you don't need. 491 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: Right away. 492 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 8: Right and when we talk about crypto specifically, remember I'm 493 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 8: not saying get out of Apple to put all your 494 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 8: money into bitcoin. This is about having an overall strategic approach. 495 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 8: All the things you're already doing you should continue to do, 496 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 8: but then figure out how do I actually start to 497 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 8: build a position in a different asset class in this 498 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 8: crypto space. Now watch this. There're two hundred different cryptos 499 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 8: and new ones are coming along every day. Ninety nine 500 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 8: percent of them are like penny stocks or pink sheet stocks. There, 501 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 8: they're scams, right, The vast majority are scams. And that's 502 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 8: why you have to be very careful when you're talking 503 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 8: about a lot of these meme coins and pump and 504 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 8: dump coins and things like that, because there's really no 505 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 8: downside protection. Because part of your investment strategy has to 506 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 8: be risk management, meaning you have to look at what's 507 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 8: protecting your downside. Is there a liquidity pool to buy 508 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 8: the asset as it goes down? And so the beautiful 509 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 8: thing about bitcoin is that it provides you the opportunity. 510 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 8: There are enough holders. So there's about two trillion dollars 511 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,959 Speaker 8: in crypto. One trillion of that or half of it 512 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 8: is in bitcoin, so there's a lot more liquidity in 513 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 8: that space, and it's also an opportunity to lend it out. 514 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 8: So on our platform, the Black Wall Street, we have 515 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 8: not allowed this feature yet because it's part of a timeline. 516 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 8: You know, you know you when you actually and Ryan 517 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 8: can talk about this when you actually develop a tech company, 518 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 8: you don't release everything at once. If you look at 519 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 8: Coinbase when a first launch, you look at Coinbase now, 520 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 8: it looks completely different. And so we're going to be 521 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 8: releasing features as we go and make it better and 522 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 8: better and better. But you can go to you know, 523 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 8: Block five, there's a number of others you can do 524 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 8: your research and loan out you or bitcoin or you're holding. 525 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 8: If you're in a situation where you need liquidity, you 526 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 8: don't need to sell it to get that liquidity. The 527 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 8: other piece that I think is a very critical piece 528 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 8: that we want to add on our platform is the 529 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 8: peer to peer piece, because if we can start recirculating 530 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 8: the black digital dollar peer to peer, we don't have 531 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 8: to be writing interest minimums to check cashing spots. Payday lenders. 532 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 8: The payday lending industry is a three hundred billion dollar 533 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 8: industry that's extracting that money out of our community. Specifically, 534 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 8: we actually can change that on a digital platform where 535 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 8: we create the liquidity that's needed within our own ecosystem. 536 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 8: So Vanessa gets that ten or fifteen percent return, not 537 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 8: you know, Steve. I'll just say, Steve, you understand. So 538 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 8: the money stays in the community. Why is this important? 539 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 8: It's important because a dollar leads the Black community within 540 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 8: six to seven hours, where a dollar stays in the 541 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 8: Asian community eighteen to twenty days, in the white community 542 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 8: in America twenty to thirty days. You hear what I'm saying, 543 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 8: six to seven hours. That leads our community multiple days 544 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 8: with other communities. The way we build wealth is the 545 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 8: recirculation of our dollar. You know, these brothers, look at 546 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 8: the AV team putting on this event. You hire a 547 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 8: black AV team. What does that create? All those brothers 548 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 8: and sisters right there have jobs right here, my man, 549 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 8: right here right We recirculate the dollars, We create jobs, 550 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 8: an opportunity. And that's why holding an asset, taking the 551 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 8: liquidity out, using that to either reinvest in your own 552 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 8: business or to hire folks to actually put do things 553 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 8: in commerce is critical. And you can do that with 554 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 8: bitcoin very important. 555 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 4: I'm glad you said that. Shout out to the whole 556 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 4: production team. This is a high level production and we're 557 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 4: in Atlanta. We're in Atlanta, Georgia, so it's no surprise 558 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 4: that everybody you see and the production team is black. 559 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 4: It's a black owned production ATV and this is a 560 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 4: high level and we only use the best people, and 561 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 4: these are the best people. So a lot of times 562 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 4: we think we have to compromise if we go black, 563 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 4: but we don't have to compromise. We can still get 564 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 4: the best service by supporting ourselves as well. Ryan, I 565 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 4: want to talk about technology.

I appreciate 641 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 7: it all right. So when I decided I wanted to 642 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 7: start a tech company, it wasn't really a decision. It 643 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 7: was more of just following the curiosity. Because out of 644 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:48,399 Speaker 7: necessity is born innovation. Why did I invest in bitcoin? Well, 645 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,919 Speaker 7: it was a necessity. My account was frozen two point 646 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 7: three million, so I had to innovate figure out a 647 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 7: different way that I could have a currency and have 648 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 7: a store of value that was decentralized. When I decided 649 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 7: I want to get my phone number out to five 650 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty thousand Twitter followers, I needed to actually 651 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 7: use technology to scale my ability to respond to everyone. 652 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 7: I'm gonna be real about this and he'll and I 653 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 7: see what y'all are doing as well in terms of 654 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 7: keeping the ownership and equity and the dollar within our community. 655 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 2: We saw this with Rock and Roll. 656 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 7: A lot more people in America know Elvis Presley than 657 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 7: Chuck Berry. And when we look at our ability to 658 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 7: innovate in this space, I know a lot of artists 659 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 7: that looked like me that I actually picked up the 660 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 7: phone and told them, hey, I got a technology companies 661 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 7: called Superphone, and you can have a text relationship with 662 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 7: all your community. 663 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 2: And when I first. 664 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 7: Started, they say, oh man, that's crazy, man, bro like 665 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 7: you not a star if you can text everybody. I 666 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:11,760 Speaker 7: started Superphone in twenty thirteen. Five years later, I'm looking around, 667 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 7: I'm seeing all those same people with phone numbers, but 668 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 7: they're using a white company called Community, saying, well, why 669 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 7: is that. 670 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 2: Well, it's because. 671 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 7: The investors in Community. 672 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 2: They looked like the founders in Community. 673 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 7: So Community took a concept that I started and they 674 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 7: built an alternative competitor and went to our people and said, 675 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 7: you know what, we we just raised one hundred million 676 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 7: from Salesforce, so we'll give y'all a platform for free. 677 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 7: And that's a favorite word in our community. Free, you 678 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. But the end of the day, 679 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 7: when you look at the contribute that you make, whether 680 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 7: it's through my technology or whether it's through another technology, 681 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 7: the conversation really is about ownership. And so whether you 682 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 7: use my Superphone platform, or you use Black Wall Street, 683 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 7: or you use Coinbase, or you use any competitor, We're 684 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 7: not here to tell you only invest in or use 685 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 7: our platform. We're just telling you that the future is now, 686 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,720 Speaker 7: and if you want to be able to predict the future. 687 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 7: You just write the history yourself. An the ability that 688 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 7: we have now in technology allows us to actually have 689 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 7: information and access that previously previously was limited to those 690 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 7: who had much higher thresholds in terms of investment minimums. 691 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 7: So if you wanted to hadge fund strategy, you had 692 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,399 Speaker 7: to have a quarter million or two million, a two 693 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 7: point five million. And the reason why I invested in 694 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 7: Titan is because they took that concentrated hadge fund strategy 695 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,439 Speaker 7: and you can start with five hundred dollars. And what's 696 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 7: the difference between a concentrated hedge fund strategy and a 697 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 7: long term diversified index fund strategy. 698 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 2: Well, it's pretty simple. 699 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 7: The concentration is what provides the outsize returns. The concentration 700 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 7: is what provides the alpha. The wealthiest people in the 701 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 7: world if you look at the headlines most recently, there's 702 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 7: been months that's been written about the Jeff Bezos, the 703 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 7: Elon Musk, the Mark Zuckerberg's of the world, and what 704 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 7: you'll realize when you look at their stories, their wealth 705 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 7: is really tied up in a concentrated vehicle because the 706 00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 7: stock of their own company is what drives the growth 707 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 7: of their wealth year over year. So I would say 708 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 7: two takeaways from that number. One, if you have the tolerance, 709 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 7: it's okay to be concentrated in your investments. 710 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 2: Diversify across many. 711 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:25,839 Speaker 7: Different asset classes, real estate, cryptocurrency stocks. If you want 712 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 7: to get a little bit of a acceleration, yeah, maybe 713 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 7: you do some derivatives, some longer term options or shorter 714 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 7: term options. Look at alternative investing. Get into companies early 715 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 7: before their public invest in the companies that you see 716 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 7: your friends and family building people be so quick to 717 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 7: go spend their dollars at Louis Vuital and won't spend 718 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 7: their dollars with the new makeup or hair care or 719 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 7: beauty business that they're brothers or sisters or aunts or 720 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:11,959 Speaker 7: uncles are create. We have that opportunity to be early shareholders, 721 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 7: early investors. 722 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 2: And yet when we look. 723 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 7: At the number of black owned or black founded companies 724 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 7: in the stock market, we don't really have a lot 725 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 7: of options. And so that means we got to invest 726 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 7: before we're public. But that early equity, that early ownership, 727 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 7: is going to be how we actually changed the narrative 728 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 7: and change the trajectory of the wealth that we want 729 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 7: to build. So for me, following technology is really because, 730 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 7: as Hill said, we built the railroads, but we didn't 731 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 7: own them. We built the hospitality business and worked in it, 732 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 7: but we didn't own it. And now it's the only 733 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 7: time in history where without brick, mortar, lumber, or steal, 734 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 7: we can build value through technology and it can be 735 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 7: scalable and we can serve and deliver value the hundreds 736 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 7: of thousands, millions and maybe even billions of people. But 737 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 7: we got to actually invest in one another, use the 738 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 7: products that we create for us by us, and embrace 739 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 7: technology as a pathway and a means so that when 740 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 7: the next transfer of wealth is being written about in history, 741 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 7: we're not on the sidelines just watching. We're participants and owners. 742 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 4: Everything he's saying just sounds so familiar because we talk 743 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 4: about when you say a concentration to tech to index, 744 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 4: anybody that sound familiar to tech two index. And when 745 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 4: we interview Mark Cuban, I asked him what his portfolio 746 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 4: was and he said it was I know Netflix for sure, 747 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 4: Russell two thousand, and I believe it was Microsoft. He 748 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 4: had another technology coming, that's it. He just had three 749 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 4: positions in his portfolio. And like you said, that's something 750 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 4: that's a major key. A lot of times we get distracted. 751 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 4: We're trying to have thirty seven stocks in our portfolio, 752 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 4: and it dilutes your holdings and you're not really gonna 753 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 4: be able to, you know, figure out what's going on. 754 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 4: You're gonna be doing research on all of these different areas. 755 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 4: And it's like you think that by having that many 756 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 4: you're actually helping it, but you're actually hurting your portfolio 757 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 4: most of the time. And like you said, the hedge funds, 758 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 4: most hedge funds is more of a concentrated thing. So 759 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 4: that's why when we suggest two tech, it's not to 760 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 4: just you know, keep it basic, but it's actually a 761 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 4: more sophisticated way of investing than having thirty seven companies 762 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,240 Speaker 4: that you just know for sure. 763 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 7: Warren Buffett said, diversification is actually insurance against ignorance. So listen, 764 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 7: I'm not saying that just because you were at invest 765 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 7: Best now you're an expert investor. If you don't know 766 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 7: what to buy, you still alright, just go ahead and 767 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 7: buy the whole stock market. You could buy a whole 768 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 7: stock market for two hundred and twenty five dollars a share. 769 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 7: The history shows that even if you don't know what 770 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 7: you're doing at all, and you buy a whole stock 771 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,279 Speaker 7: market and you hold for twenty years, your money's gonna 772 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 7: double every seven years anyway. 773 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:33,839 Speaker 2: But you got to be able to hold. 774 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 7: You got to have the patience to allow those companies 775 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 7: to do what they're supposed to do for you. So 776 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 7: I totally agree with you on that that concentration is 777 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,319 Speaker 7: really for those who actually know what they're doing. And 778 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 7: the reason why I think concentration actually is a byproduct 779 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 7: of founders is because founders know their business better than 780 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 7: anybody else. 781 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,040 Speaker 2: So if I believe it's. 782 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 7: Or I believe if I'm Mark Zuckerberg, I believe in Facebook, well, 783 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,280 Speaker 7: I don't want to be distracted by any other companies. 784 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,280 Speaker 7: I want to be able to build the value within 785 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 7: the equity and the shares of my own company. And 786 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:13,920 Speaker 7: if I see something I like, I'm gonna just go 787 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 7: out and buy it right bring up. 788 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 4: That's like I said, man, it's just reassurance that you 789 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,359 Speaker 4: know everything that we talk about, you just saying it. 790 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 4: So we definitely got to get you on market. Mondays, 791 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 4: by the way, we'll talk about that. So hell, let 792 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 4: me ask you this people might not be familiar that crypto. 793 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 4: A lot of cryptos they have different utilities and different usages. 794 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 4: A lot of time they just think like all cryptos 795 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 4: are the same, you just use it, So can you 796 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 4: just talk about that? 797 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 6: Like there's some crypt Like. 798 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 4: I was an early investor in Tron, which I'm still 799 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 4: not really one hundred percent confident in. But the thing 800 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,320 Speaker 4: that really drove me to Tron was when I heard 801 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 4: that they were a crypto that was designed for video games. 802 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,399 Speaker 4: And my son is a gamer. Shout out to nas, 803 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 4: he's in the build the Yeah. So when I understood 804 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 4: the culture of video games, like it's a whole it's 805 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 4: a whole subculture of video games. So I'm like, all right, 806 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 4: think the cryptocurrency for that, then that's brilliant. And then 807 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 4: there's a bunch of cryptocurrency for different things. So can 808 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:15,240 Speaker 4: you talk about. 809 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 8: That church so so so just like you need you know, 810 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 8: Ryan was just talking about, you got to do research 811 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 8: and understand the company, understand what you're investing in. The 812 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 8: same thing holds true for different crypto assets, right there 813 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 8: are different use cases and different value propositions that each 814 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 8: one has. For instance, if you believe in the NFT space. 815 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 8: Then you may be attracted to ethereum and you want 816 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 8: to sort of go that way. You may do some 817 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 8: research and find that cardonal and ada is something that 818 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,759 Speaker 8: you're interested in, and so you literally have to pull 819 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 8: back the onion do your own research. There's so much free, free, 820 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,799 Speaker 8: free information out there on the Black Wall Street app 821 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 8: and and just in general across the ecosystem that allows 822 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 8: you to understand the different use cases for different crypto assets. 823 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 8: The thing to be careful of is when you see 824 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 8: people trying to pump one now. And that's why I 825 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,320 Speaker 8: believe Elon Musk and Mark Cuban have been so irresponsible 826 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 8: around those coin and we could we can get into 827 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 8: deeper of what that's about, and and and and why 828 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,720 Speaker 8: that is. But they're if people don't understand. If someone 829 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 8: comes up to me and says hill crypto is a crypto, 830 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 8: those coins the same thing as Bitcoin, then you know 831 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 8: that they actually haven't done their homework and done their 832 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 8: research to understand there's a different there's a there's a 833 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 8: fundamental difference in the use case and so so rather 834 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 8: than there's so many of them and there's so many 835 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 8: that are actually providing real use and value. And if 836 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 8: you believe in the value or the use that they're providing, 837 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,359 Speaker 8: and you think that there is a longevity to that, 838 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 8: then lean into that space and lean in. I don't 839 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,920 Speaker 8: mind for just give you an example. Personally, I do 840 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 8: not mind bitcoin, but I mind ethereum. 841 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 2: Okay. 842 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 8: Now, see, so I have, I have a mining set up, 843 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 8: a mining you know, a situation, right, and I could 844 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,319 Speaker 8: choose to mind any of the cryptos out there, but 845 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 8: I do not mind bitcoin, and people always talking about 846 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 8: bitcoin mining, bitcoin mining. I think that there's better value 847 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 8: for me using my mining rigs to mine ethereum. Now 848 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 8: that may change, right, Why is that? Well, it may 849 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 8: change because ethereum's changed. 850 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,800 Speaker 4: Why why do you prefer to mine ethereum as opposed 851 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 4: to bitcoin? 852 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 8: Okay? So, so you have to look at basically what 853 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,280 Speaker 8: you're receiving for that time and energy spent. It's very 854 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 8: energy intensive to mine, and what happens is you end 855 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,760 Speaker 8: up spending a lot of money in energy fees and costs. 856 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 8: It also depends where you do it, if you live 857 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,280 Speaker 8: in a certain place. I do not recommend mining, okay, 858 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,440 Speaker 8: because certain in certain places energy fees are very high. 859 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 8: My whole mining setup is not where I live, because 860 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 8: it would be too expensive to mind where I live. 861 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,479 Speaker 8: So I have my whole mind set up somewhere else 862 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 8: where the energy cost is significantly lower, and so I'm 863 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,359 Speaker 8: able to mine a great deal for a much, much 864 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 8: much lower cost. And so you have to actually look 865 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,280 Speaker 8: at that, and then you look at what you're getting 866 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:35,399 Speaker 8: from mining right now, the way ethereum is set up 867 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,839 Speaker 8: and the level of fees that are associated with ethereum. 868 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,400 Speaker 8: There's a group, there's a there's a healthy return for 869 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 8: mining etherorum where the same level of return I believe 870 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 8: does not exist given the energy required for Bitcoin, and 871 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,479 Speaker 8: and and and watch this. I can mind some other 872 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:59,799 Speaker 8: cryptos where the return today is even much more than 873 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 8: a theorem. But the problem with that is I still 874 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,320 Speaker 8: go back to my original thesis. I see the value 875 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:11,760 Speaker 8: proposition in ethereum right now over a longer period of time, 876 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 8: and therefore me mining. You know, sheibu enu, you know 877 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,440 Speaker 8: whatever I mean. Come on, don't get me started. Point is, 878 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 8: you know I'm saying you got you got to actually 879 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,440 Speaker 8: do your own homework and understand that. But I want 880 00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 8: to pivot real quick, go back to something that that 881 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,799 Speaker 8: Ryan said that I thought, I don't want folks to 882 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 8: miss this. When he was just talking about ownership, and 883 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 8: he mentioned Zuckerberg, he mentioned Elon Musk, he mentioned Bezos 884 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 8: and their wealth was built off of these tech platforms 885 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 8: and tech companies. And we for far too long, and 886 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,760 Speaker 8: he mentioned this talking about music, for far too long, 887 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 8: our culture has been monetized by tech and tech platforms 888 00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 8: to build wealth for people other than us, because we 889 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,759 Speaker 8: don't own the platforms. That's why it's so critical for 890 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 8: us to begin to own our own ip, own our 891 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,439 Speaker 8: own platforms. When I went to launch the Black Wall 892 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 8: Street people are like, hell, you're gonna lunch with a wallet? 893 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,359 Speaker 8: You should white label a wallet. Just do that, man, 894 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,839 Speaker 8: you know it'll be much cheaper and much better. It'll 895 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 8: be much more functional. But then all of a sudden, 896 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:27,839 Speaker 8: I'm like the Rush card, which is a big lie. Right, 897 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 8: I can go out into the black community and market 898 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 8: something and says, hey, you know, bank black use the 899 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 8: Rush card. But if my charter company is a white 900 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 8: bank and you actually peel back the onion, you realize 901 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 8: it's Green Dot Bank. And if you would have gone 902 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 8: straight to Green Dot, you'd be paying less fees. And 903 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 8: so all you're paying are marketing fees layered on top 904 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 8: of someone else's technology. That is not black ownership. That's 905 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 8: black marketing. It's fundamentally different. That's why we have to 906 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 8: own our own our own charters. We have to do 907 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 8: this and then we have to support each other in 908 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 8: doing it. And so one way to think about it, 909 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,440 Speaker 8: and this is a mindset shift in terms of purchasing. 910 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 8: And you can talk about Louis Vuitton or whatever. The 911 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,440 Speaker 8: way I try to think about that piece is, for instance, 912 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,320 Speaker 8: these you know, Nike shoes or whatever. I never buy 913 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 8: a luxury item. I make the company buy it for me. Well, 914 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,919 Speaker 8: I mean, I'll never buy Nikes unless I've made enough 915 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 8: dividend off a Nike stock to buy the shoe. So 916 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 8: you can think about the same way. Use that rule 917 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,960 Speaker 8: for Louis Vuitton, and nothing wrong with happened louisviittan perse 918 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 8: if you own LVMA stock and you allow the stock 919 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:48,399 Speaker 8: to buy the purse, right, So you can always think 920 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 8: about everything you do and being and all this goes 921 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 8: back to this one simple idea. Let's be intentional with 922 00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 8: how we use every hard money dollar, fiat dollar and 923 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 8: digital dollar and crypto dollar, if we actually import intentionality 924 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 8: and strategy around our usage, whether it's a spend or 925 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,960 Speaker 8: an investment, or who we support and how we support platforms, 926 00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 8: then all of a sudden, it supercharges that wealth creation 927 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 8: for you as well as as the founders and the 928 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:26,720 Speaker 8: tech platforms and folks all around, and that recirculation starts 929 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 8: to work. Makes sense? 930 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, Ryan Women in wealth Initiative? What's what's that about? Why? 931 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 6: You know, I'm I'm very happy to. 932 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:48,720 Speaker 4: See a lot of the ladies here, but I still, yes, 933 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 4: I'm still not all the way happy with the percentage 934 00:55:54,719 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 4: that we have. I think it's like sixty women listen 935 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 4: to Ernie Alesia, and I would love to have it 936 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 4: to be fifty to fifty. 937 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 6: So we're making strides. 938 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,840 Speaker 4: We got a bunch of powerful women that's going to 939 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,359 Speaker 4: be up here this entire weekend. But what's what's that 940 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,319 Speaker 4: initiative about? And why was it important for you to 941 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:13,640 Speaker 4: start that? 942 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:22,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? So I have limited time, right, and. 943 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 7: My mother has always been the matriarch in a meaningful 944 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,760 Speaker 7: way for my family. She's the one that always encouraged 945 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 7: us to save, She's the one that always encouraged us 946 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 7: to be frugal, He's the one that encouraged us to 947 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,680 Speaker 7: also be as resourceful as possible and be of service. 948 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 7: And my dad was, you know, he was always, hey, 949 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 7: God will provide. You know, he's spending money and God 950 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,319 Speaker 7: will provide, you know. And my grandfather was the same way, 951 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 7: He's spend the money on God will provide. And guess what, 952 00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:59,760 Speaker 7: God actually always did provide. So you know, I ascribe 953 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 7: to that a little bit as well. But what I 954 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,920 Speaker 7: will say is that over the last year, I have 955 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 7: a one on one mentorship program and it's it's really 956 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 7: to pay it forward in the same way that Sandy 957 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,800 Speaker 7: gave to me, because I know, being at a conference 958 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 7: like this, there's so much information that you had the 959 00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 7: process and you go home and I know I took 960 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 7: some notes, but once the Satoshi and I think he 961 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 7: was talking about those in Mark Cuban and concentration and 962 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 7: Robin Hood is robbing the hood and how do I 963 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 7: remember everything? 964 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 965 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 7: And so sometimes it takes just having somebody who actually 966 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 7: would just lock in with you for a year and 967 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 7: break it down for you, just week by week, week 968 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 7: by week, week by week. You just you show up 969 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 7: every week you do the research, you do the homework. 970 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:06,200 Speaker 7: And so I created a program whereby you know, just 971 00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 7: a few a handful of people per week, I mean 972 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 7: per year, I actually provide this kind of mentorship and service. 973 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 7: And it's not because people can't find it on their own. 974 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 7: Like Hill said, there's so much freeation. But sometimes if 975 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 7: you don't even know what you're looking for, and you 976 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,360 Speaker 7: don't even know what you don't know, you could just 977 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:30,480 Speaker 7: get lost in that matrix. So that mentorship program really 978 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 7: began to illustrate for me the difference between a male 979 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,840 Speaker 7: perspective on investing, which in many cases is kind of 980 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,920 Speaker 7: more like gambling, and a female perspective on investing, which 981 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 7: I found to be in many cases more rational, more disciplined, 982 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 7: more reasonable, more measured. 983 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, get. 984 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 7: Y'allselves around the applause, Go ahead, ladies. 985 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 986 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 7: So when I found that there was that kind of differentiation, 987 00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,439 Speaker 7: I found that potentially the impact that I could make 988 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 7: in terms of what I was teaching, in terms of 989 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 7: the coaching, in terms of the mentorship, the investment, Like 990 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 7: Hill was talking about, you want the greatest return on 991 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,520 Speaker 7: your investment. So I found that when I invested the 992 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:35,040 Speaker 7: time with women, they also weren't just doing it for themselves. 993 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 7: They always said, Look, I'm not Ryan. This ain't just 994 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 7: for me. It's for my son, it's for my mom, 995 00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,920 Speaker 7: It's for my aunt, my uncle, my niece, my nephew. 996 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,560 Speaker 7: And what we found on Wall Street all the time. Man, Listen, 997 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 7: I know some folks in here. If you actually watch movies, 998 00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,160 Speaker 7: you've seen a Wolf of Wall Street. You see how 999 00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 7: women are objectified in the Wall Street communities. It's all 1000 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:08,440 Speaker 7: suits and ties and misogyny. But actually, very recently that 1001 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 7: has emerged almost a I guess sometimes they call her 1002 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:18,520 Speaker 7: like the modern day female Warren Buffett, Kathy Wood of 1003 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:19,440 Speaker 7: Arc and Best Right. 1004 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 2: We talked about her, right. 1005 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 7: And what a lot of folks don't know is that 1006 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 7: one of the other non public greatest female investment managers 1007 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 7: is actually of color. 1008 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 2: Her name is Melanie Hobson. She ha us be married 1009 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 2: to George Lucas. 1010 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 7: People didn't know that George Lucas created Star Wars. He 1011 01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,240 Speaker 7: found himself a strong black woman, right, and she's one 1012 01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 7: of the best money managers in the world. So that's 1013 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:52,440 Speaker 7: why we decided that, Look, if you really want to 1014 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 7: make a true difference and have a true impact, on 1015 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 7: a family and generational level. Then it's important to educate, 1016 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 7: mentor inspire and motivate the women. 1017 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 2: The women very important. 1018 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,360 Speaker 6: Make some noise for that very very important. 1019 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,919 Speaker 4: Hell, before we go, I want you just to talk 1020 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 4: about Black Walter, but I also want you to tie 1021 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 4: it on if you can't with the what you said 1022 01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:23,320 Speaker 4: as far as this cross generational wealth transfer, recirculation and 1023 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:24,920 Speaker 4: dollar and all of that group back of nomics, can 1024 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 4: you tie that in and how that was a motivational 1025 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 4: factor in your platform. 1026 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 8: Absolutely, But we don't have much time, so I want. 1027 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 4: It's early your Liegia's event. We got as much time 1028 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 4: as we're good. 1029 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:42,000 Speaker 8: Okay, Well, since we're talking about strong, incredible women, I 1030 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,920 Speaker 8: want to recognize Naja Roberts, my co founder, who's right here. 1031 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,240 Speaker 8: She is sitting up there. Naja, come on, just just 1032 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,640 Speaker 8: just come on, wave turn around a way to the people. 1033 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 8: That's Naja Roberts. She's one of the only two breaking 1034 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 8: mortar over the counter crypto currency exchanges in the country 1035 01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:11,080 Speaker 8: called Crypto Blockshain Plug in Inglewood, California. I went to 1036 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 8: her on bend and knee and said, I'm launching the 1037 01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 8: Black Wall Street. I need you please join me in 1038 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 8: this journey nausea. I need your expertise. She's one of 1039 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 8: the foremost experts in crypto in the world, and she 1040 01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 8: joined me. Her husband said it was okay for me 1041 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,120 Speaker 8: to be on bended knee in front of her. It 1042 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 8: was not a problem, and he was cool with that. 1043 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,720 Speaker 8: And so she is incredible. So I wanted to mention 1044 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,720 Speaker 8: her because we talk about everybody talk about crypto and 1045 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,560 Speaker 8: they think it's male driven and tech is male driven. 1046 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,600 Speaker 8: But they are incredible women doing so many incredible things 1047 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,600 Speaker 8: in the tech space and the crypto space, like NASA. 1048 01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 8: So why is recirculating the dollar so critical? If we 1049 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,280 Speaker 8: look back to the original Black Wall Street and the 1050 01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 8: inspiration for the name of the Digital platform, the Black 1051 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 8: Wall Street was the original Black Street. From nineteen oh 1052 01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 8: five to nineteen twenty one, ow Gurley founded thirty five 1053 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,640 Speaker 8: blocks in Talls, Oklahoma, the Greenwood District, and what happened 1054 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 8: was a dollar recirculated. I believe there were three distinct 1055 01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,720 Speaker 8: pillars that built wealth in that ecosystem, and these are 1056 01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,440 Speaker 8: the pillars that we tried to replicate with our digital platform. 1057 01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 8: Pillar number one institutional ownership. We've talked about that most 1058 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 8: of this conversation. We owned the businesses, owned the intellectual property, 1059 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 8: own the land. So ownership is critical. Pillar number two 1060 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:34,720 Speaker 8: institutional trust. We haven't talked about this much. They trusted 1061 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,040 Speaker 8: each other to transact with each other. Imagine that black 1062 01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 8: folks loaning each other money, black folks actually working together, 1063 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:46,760 Speaker 8: black folks spending money with each other. Institutional trust. And 1064 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 8: then pillar number three of these three wealth building pillars 1065 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 8: to me, and perhaps the most important, was the movement 1066 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,280 Speaker 8: of money or capital within the ecosystem. Where during that 1067 01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 8: time a dollar chain saying sixty to one hundred times 1068 01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 8: back then that was a year to three years. As 1069 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 8: I said earlier, a dollar lea's a blackmunley within sixty 1070 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 8: seven hours. We have one point two trillion dollars of 1071 01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 8: spending power in the black community. Yet it comes in 1072 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 8: because we work hard. Everybody. We all know people are 1073 01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 8: in two three jobs with other side hustles. But the 1074 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:17,240 Speaker 8: problem is the money leaves. We don't have the ability 1075 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 8: to recirculate. Just think about this. I'm gonna drop this 1076 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 8: on you. A thirty billion dollar industry black female hair care. 1077 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,439 Speaker 8: We don't control the industry, nor do we control even 1078 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,760 Speaker 8: the supply of it when you talk about how much 1079 01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 8: money goes into the Korean community and other communities that 1080 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,720 Speaker 8: own over three to four thousand hair care shops throughout 1081 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:41,160 Speaker 8: the country, payday Lender. We can go on and on 1082 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 8: and on. The point is the money leaves. We have 1083 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:49,800 Speaker 8: to recirculate those dollars, and now digital platforms allow us 1084 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 8: to do it. Now, why people say, hell man, I 1085 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,280 Speaker 8: love my cash shaff Why is cash shaff a problem? 1086 01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 8: The reason why we launched the digital wallet first is 1087 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,120 Speaker 8: that if we don't start owning our digital wallets, as 1088 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 8: the money starts moving into a digital currency, then the 1089 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,280 Speaker 8: dollar's gonna start leaving within six to seven seconds, let 1090 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,960 Speaker 8: alone six to seven hours. We have to own our 1091 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 8: own wallets. So if you use Apple pay Apple Wallet, 1092 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:20,800 Speaker 8: if you use zeale Venmo, PayPal, cash app, who owns those? 1093 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:26,280 Speaker 8: Do they look like anybody in this room. That's why 1094 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:30,480 Speaker 8: we we started our MVP with a wallet, and we 1095 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:36,080 Speaker 8: can digitally recirculate those dollars on platform. Right, I want 1096 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,040 Speaker 8: to I want to bring superphone onto platform and then 1097 01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,080 Speaker 8: you could pay for superphone through the Black Wall Street wallet. 1098 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 8: You understand how this starts to work. You understand how 1099 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:50,040 Speaker 8: it starts to recirculate and create jobs and opportunity. That's 1100 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,520 Speaker 8: how it works. And and and I'll just say this 1101 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:57,360 Speaker 8: in the in that spirit, please y'all take out your phones. 1102 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 8: Please go to the app store or your or or Google, Google, 1103 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 8: uh is, Android iOS and download the Black Just type 1104 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,840 Speaker 8: in the Black Wall Street download it.

Just add it on. 1107 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 8: Don't make cash APT or PayPal your only wallet.

No one's saying, yo, 1110 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,760 Speaker 8: don't do anything you're doing is bad. It's just saying, 1111 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:36,280 Speaker 8: add on a black alternative, just like you saying, you know, 1112 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,880 Speaker 8: I gotta approach my people, set up, set me up 1113 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 8: with community.
