1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: George Noi with Rich Turn. He is live in Shanghai 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 2: as we talk. His book is called Cashless, China's Digital 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 2: Currency Revolution, And. 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 3: It's happening, isn't it? 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: Rich? 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, George. You know, Look, whether we like it or not, 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 4: we're going cashless in the sense that we're all using 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 4: Apple pay, Google Pay, or credit cards or PayPal or 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 4: PayPal great example, kids are the younger people are using 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 4: Venmo right, They're all transacting digitally and our lives are 12 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 4: more digital. So the concept that money should go more 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 4: digital and be cheaper to send is something that should 14 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 4: be welcomed by most people. 15 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: There seems to be an I resistance to it, though, 16 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: what are they afraid of? 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 4: Them? Look? Yeah, so, and this is something I guess 18 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 4: relevant to a couple of the last callers. You know 19 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 4: that people do not like the Federal Reserve or the 20 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 4: central banking system, or how much the government spends. Those 21 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 4: are absolutely legit concerns are we know, I want to 22 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 4: make that clear. But at the same time, you know 23 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 4: the concept that we're going to have a war against 24 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 4: the Fed or otherwise reject all that we have. You know, 25 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 4: that's sort of a higher level issue. What I'm trying 26 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: to get at is you use Bucks. You use them 27 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 4: to pay for stuff, your local gas station, your local butcher, 28 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 4: you know, butcher, baker and candle stick maker. Is sick 29 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 4: and tired of paying Visa and MasterCard three percent plus 30 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 4: for the privilege of taking a credit card. We got 31 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 4: to have a better way of doing it. And as 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 4: more of our goods and services go digital, we need 33 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 4: a better way to do it. And how we do 34 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 4: it is certainly up for debate. We should have a 35 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 4: national discussion on that. But that national discussion should be 36 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 4: based on what's real and what technology can actually do 37 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 4: for us, and not on imaginary stuff. And you know, 38 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 4: I'm not anti crypto, but there shouldn't be based on 39 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 4: the fact that we should take the multi trillion dollar 40 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 4: American economy and somehow revalue it to some other cryptocurrency. 41 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 4: That's that's just not a reasonable expectation. 42 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: Most thanks for going through a system called Zel. If 43 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: you want to send money, what is that? 44 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 4: Sure? ZL is I had some funny bad experience is 45 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: using Zel. But look, Zel is a way to basically 46 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 4: digitally send money using your existing bank systems, and it 47 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 4: is available on most of the major banks. A lot 48 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 4: of the community banks may not have it, but basically 49 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 4: I can send you a limited amount of money. I 50 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 4: think it's up to around one thousand bucks for any 51 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: one individual transfer. And yeah, it's a you know, you 52 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 4: know what it is, hey, George. It's a great way 53 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 4: of thinking about it. Did you ever have a BlackBerry 54 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 4: earlier in your career? Maybe now you've migrated to something 55 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: newer and better, yep. Right, Well, look, we've got digital 56 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: payment and it's no different than our cell phones. 57 00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 5: You know. 58 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 4: We started digital payment being credit cards, all right, and 59 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: now we've got Apple Pay and Google Pay and they're better, 60 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: and that is a way of paying stuff. But all 61 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 4: of these are like those old sull phones that you 62 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 4: stick in your closet somewhere and dust off and say, 63 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 4: I remember in the nineties when I used this. You know, 64 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 4: there are generations of electronic payment, and electronic payment is 65 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 4: just getting better and better all the time. 66 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: Let's go to jeff in North Dakota to get us 67 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: going here. Hi Jeffrey, go ahead. 68 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 5: Hi George, Thanks sand Neon, Hey, uh, thank you.

It says better to put your trust 71 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 5: in the Lord than in man, and it also says, 72 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 5: what is it good does it do for man to 73 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 5: gain the whole world and lose his soul? And George, 74 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 5: you were talking about the chips. There's a commany called 75 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 5: version ship right now waiting to put chips in human beings, 76 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 5: and their emblem is the eye of a snake. Now 77 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 5: in Revelation, God warns us that this times are counting. 78 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 5: You would not be able to buy or sell unless 79 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 5: you take the mark of the beast. Those who have 80 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 5: given their life to Christ, they won't take that mark 81 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 5: because you're sealed with the Holy Spirit. But those who 82 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 5: be deceived, that's the number one thing he is that also, 83 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 5: don't be deceived, because there's going to become a world 84 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 5: leader coming soon, the anti Christ. The first three and 85 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 5: a half years, everything's gonna be humpty dory. In the 86 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 5: last three and a half years, you will be killed 87 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 5: for your faith and you don't take their mark on 88 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 5: your right hand and forehead. Bibles very clear about that. 89 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 5: So there's the just, the unjust, the whatd says he 90 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 5: lets the rain fall and adjust and the unjust, the 91 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 5: sinner of the saint. 92 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: A lot of people are concerned about that. 93 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 3: Rich. 94 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know. Look, he look, Higer, Jeff, Look, I 95 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: hear you. And I want to make a world where 96 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 4: you can have your belief system along with the ability 97 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 4: to get if you ever get sick, Jeff, the latest 98 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 4: and greatest cancer detection system which may be built, which 99 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 4: will be built on digital and use things like artificial intelligence. 100 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 4: So I want to close the gap and make people 101 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 4: understand that the digital world we are living in as 102 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 4: good things associated with it, and that those good things 103 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 4: do not conflict with Biblical verse as best as I can. 104 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 4: You know, they're not the tall order because the Bible 105 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 4: says a lot and beliefs about what the Bible say 106 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 4: are very different. But I try, I try to do 107 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 4: my best. 108 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: That's got dawn now on the international line in Alberta, Canada. 109 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: Hey, Donald, go ahead, Hi George. 110 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 5: Hi Rich. 111 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 6: Actually, the best cancer detection system is the dog that's 112 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 6: properly trained. They can detect cancer way a right. 113 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 5: Anyway. 114 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 6: My philosophy on investing is our money is if I 115 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 6: can't see it, touch it, taste it, smell it, it 116 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 6: doesn't exist. I know people have lost millions on digital currency, 117 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 6: actually bitcoin. You know, it doesn't matter if the computer 118 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 6: hard right fails, or the phone gets lost or somebody 119 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 6: steals it while you're sleeping at night, so they just 120 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 6: go in digitally and extract it. 121 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 122 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 6: I probably will actually end up owning the B five 123 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 6: currency only because it's an international currency. But the problem 124 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 6: I have with China is that if you don't have 125 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 6: enough social rewards points, they just close down your bank accounts. 126 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 6: You can't travel, take a bus, the kids can't go 127 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 6: to school, whatever the case may be. But the other 128 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 6: part of the equation. 129 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 4: Is is. 130 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 6: I mean you've had these guests on your show, George, 131 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 6: is that China is actually openly talking about taking out 132 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: United States and it's a step by step process and 133 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 6: they listed it and actually the event that occurred in Israel, 134 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 6: and it's unfortunate because I know people on both sides 135 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 6: of the border, and the civilians always get caught in 136 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 6: the way. But this is just another step, this digital currency, 137 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 6: it's just another step to take out America. That's my 138 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 6: belief on what's happening right now. And do I trust 139 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 6: digital currency? You know, because if I show up and 140 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 6: it's minus thirty five minus forty of gas station and 141 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 6: their systems down and I can't put gas in my 142 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 6: highway track traill unit. Guess what, I freeze the truck's 143 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 6: going to freeze up on me. So if I have 144 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 6: cash in my pocket, I'm going again. Yeah, and Solver, 145 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 6: I think will be the backup currency in gold. It's 146 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 6: just I don't trust digital currency. I'm sorry. 147 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 3: Well, a lot of people don't. 148 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 2: A lot of people don't rich are is it appropriate 149 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: to ask you if you feel is if. 150 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 3: China wants to go to war with the United States? 151 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 4: Boy, you know, I gotta tell you that's news to me. 152 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 4: I read everything that I can about China every day. 153 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 4: I can't tell you that I read the local newspapers 154 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 4: in Mandarin, but I do read the translations that I 155 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 4: get on you know, on the internet. And you know 156 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: the concept that China wants to go to war with America. 157 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I feel that that's misguided. And I don't 158 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 4: know where. Don you know, it's nice to meet you, 159 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 4: and I don't know where you read that, And I'm 160 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 4: sure you can come up with a source for me 161 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 4: if we were there in person, But from where I 162 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 4: sit and from everything that I read, there is no 163 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 4: desire for China to go to war with one of 164 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 4: its largest trading partners and with the country whose US 165 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 4: dollar it holds some six hundred billion of in reserves. 166 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 4: So basically, you know, the China doesn't want to destroy 167 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 4: America or destroy the dollar because basically it has a 168 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 4: lot of dollars and it would impoverish itself in that process. 169 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 4: So no, I don't buy that. But look as far 170 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 4: as digital currencies go. Don you quoted cryptocurrency and here 171 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 4: I'm talking about digital currencies that are Anadian dollar or 172 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: US dollar, not crypto. And as far as your big 173 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: rig and you know, getting digital currency frozen with minus forty, 174 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 4: I'm more having cash. Nobody's trying to take your cash away. 175 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 4: But when the weather is good, and also in the future, 176 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 4: when we have these new systems which will allow transfer 177 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 4: of currency without signal or without electricity, you'll be able 178 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 4: to pay digitally, but keep cash. Nobody's trying to take 179 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 4: it from you. 180 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: Well, that's an important factor too. Rich you don't think 181 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: it's going to be one or the other. Do you 182 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: think is it possible they'll say we're going to have 183 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 2: cash you can use cash, but we're going this way too. 184 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 4: Absolutely. Look, you know, you know, George, we're all humans, 185 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 4: and we like to think in terms of black and white, 186 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 4: you know, but the reality is there's a lot of 187 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 4: gray in the world. And the concept that we're going 188 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 4: to give you digital currency and we're going to take 189 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 4: away all your money, that's nuts. Not going to happen. 190 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 4: Do you know how much? Think about it another way? 191 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 4: Do you know how much cash has squirreled away in 192 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 4: America right now? If the government wanted to come for it, 193 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 4: how could they? It wouldn't It wouldn't be practical. There's 194 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 4: zillions of dollars all sitting there in cupboards and in 195 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: closets all over and hidden the middle cuffy holes all 196 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 4: over America. 197 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 2: And West Arsenal wipe out the drug dealers, wouldn't it. 198 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 4: Well, I don't know what to say there. Yeah, sadly, 199 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 4: you know, there are those who make the argument, and 200 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna I'm not going to go there personally, 201 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 4: but I'm going to just make it because I want 202 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 4: people to hear it. Is that the loss of cash 203 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 4: would be a great reduction of crime. Now, this part 204 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 4: I can tell you I'm willing to go here. Ready. 205 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 4: In China, where cash use is reduced, in the major cities, 206 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 4: the local convenience stores, nobody tries to rob them because 207 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 4: they don't have any money, And nobody tries to rob 208 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 4: somebody's wallet or purse for the cash because nobody's got 209 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 4: any cash in it. Now they do try to rob 210 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 4: ursus and stuff for cell phones. I'm not arguing that, 211 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 4: but the reality is people or societies that use less 212 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 4: cash have less crime because people aren't walking around with 213 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 4: wads of cash in their pocket that you can steal. 214 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 3: There's no access to it. 215 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 4: There's that, okay, so people choose not to use it. 216 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 4: People have access to it. I got an ATM machine 217 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 4: across the street from my house. I got like four 218 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 4: of them, but I don't use them, and so people 219 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 4: have so in China. Let's talk specifically about my life, 220 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 4: which is hardcore concrete. I have as much access to 221 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: cash here as I have in the US as I 222 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 4: have anywhere. I can go to the bank and get 223 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 4: wads of money. 224 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 3: US dollars are Chinese, oh Chinese. 225 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 4: Yes, I can also get US dollars, but I got 226 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 4: to make conversion. And then who's going to take it right. 227 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 4: I mean, but when I travel occasionally, I got to 228 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 4: get some US extra US dollars, and sure, I'll go 229 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 4: to the bank with draw R and B and then 230 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 4: I'll have to convert that R and B. It cost 231 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 4: me some money and I'll get a handful of dollars 232 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 4: out of it. 233 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: Rich speculate on what the next few years will be 234 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: like in terms of this push to go to this 235 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: kind of digital currency. 236 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 4: Look, it's going to be a long, hard transition, and look, 237 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have fun with this, if you don't mind me, George, 238 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 4: because I want to put it in terms that everybody 239 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: can relate to. 240 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 3: We have a minute, minute and a half left. 241 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 4: Go ahead, minute and a half. We all had blackberries. 242 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 4: We now have iPhones or whatever phone we got, and 243 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 4: we're on iPhone what is it fifteen these days? And 244 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 4: it was incremental steps from a BlackBerry to the iPhone 245 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 4: and from the old days when we didn't have any 246 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 4: smartphones at all. So we're going to have an incremental 247 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 4: change in getting better cashless systems, but you're always going 248 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 4: to have access to cash.
