Speaker 2: podcasts about work are boring, and sure they definitely can be,

00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: but understanding of professionals routine shows us how they achieve

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: their success little by little, day after day. It's like

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: banking with P and C Bank. It might seem boring

27

Speaker 2: P and C Bank National Association Member FDIC. So when

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: we talk about it being the greatest time to invest

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: in the greatest time to own assets, this is not theoretical,

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: this is actual factual.

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Right.

37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: We watched an asset in twenty twenty one big twenty

38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: thousand dollars and currently sit at one hundred and twenty

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars. I mean even before that, you know,

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: but just the time of the since we had the show.

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: The first time that I personally put money into bitcoin,

42
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: it was was five thousand dollars.

43
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: That was November of seventeen. It was five thousand dollars.

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the first time I saw it, it

45
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: was the fourth time I ever saw it was three

46
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 3: hundred dollars, and it was what I say, back in

47
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: the day bigcoin going to five hundred was like a

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: big event.

49
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: Well the story so this, but there's the story, and

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 4: I'm telling it. So the first time I put money

51
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: into bitcoin was five thousand dollars, right, And at that

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: time people were saying five thousand was ridiculous for something

53
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: that's not even real. And then it gets to ten thousand,

54
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: then it got to twenty thousand, and then it's like, yo,

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: this is this is the Tulip scam of nineteen oh nine.

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 4: This is the dumbest thing ever. So it's all perspective.

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: At five thousand, people couldn't understand it. Also, at five thousand,

58
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: people were saying that you were too late. That's what

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: a lot of people. Even with me, it was like,

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: well you're late because this has been around for years,

61
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: and people got in at five hundred, like you're paying

62
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: five thousand dollars for something, why would you do that?

63
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 4: So it's all relative. It's important to keep that in perspective.

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: There's going to always be arguments. It's about it being

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: too much and that you're too late. Even when I

66
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: was like, okay, this is going to be the in

67
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: my investment choice to yeah, people like okay, well it's

68
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 4: already ninety thousand dollars eighty five thousand, all while you

69
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 4: what's the upside? You can get thirty three percent rate

70
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: of return in six months and it's still going to

71
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 4: go up like I mean.

72
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: Thirteen percent else.

73
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly the same reasons we just said that in

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: video has a four to five year run, we can

75
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: say four to five years. There's no I'm living on

76
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: on on bitcoin and right like you got to figure

77
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: like that appreciation the last bitcoin's going to be mined

78
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: and was it twenty forty two.

79
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: We're in twenty twenty five. That's seventeen years away.

80
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 5: And I'll say this, this run would not have happened

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 5: without the institution and the centralization of And please don't

82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 5: come for me. I've been investing since two thousand and nine.

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: We've seen a lot. It does not make me the

84
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 5: foremost expert on anything. I have created freedom for myself

85
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: before I got to talking online. Without black Rock and Vanguard,

86
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 5: this run wouldn't have happened, which is why you don't

87
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 5: see that drastic fall off that we've seen in the past.

88
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: We used to have.

89
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, when we or your bigcoin don't get taken like

90
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 5: minded a Mountain Cox when you were selling Mela Luca coffee.

91
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 5: Some of y'all need to stop talking and put up

92
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 5: some results like Detroit did.

93
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: Right, we saw that twenty eighteen climbed up to eighteen thousand,

94
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: dropped down to three. Right, we saw it climb up

95
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: to forty forty thousand, drop down to twenty. We're we're

96
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: not seeing those drastic pullbacks.

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: No, this institutional investing a lot of whales, I think.

98
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: I mean, we still got some political derailing that could

99
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 4: potentially happen.

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: We'll see.

101
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: But okay, so the next thing is gonna be like, well,

102
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: you can't get the ten thousand percent rate of return

103
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 4: that you once got, probably not, but there's still room

104
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 4: for upside growth. And that's what makes michael strategy so

105
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 4: interesting because now that's a more risk play that people

106
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: are taking with leverage, and then you could add options

107
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 4: on top of that, where that was his whole thing

108
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: to begin with, because before you couldn't even run option

109
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: plays on like bitcoin ETF at one point, So that

110
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 4: was his position even two years ago, of like where

111
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 4: leveraged that's going to give you higher rate of return

112
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: than traditional bitcoin, even though it's kind of like tracking bigcoin.

113
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: So if bigcoin goes of twenty percent, you could probably

114
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 4: get thirty five percent of micro strategy, let's just say.

115
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: But then you can also do options on micro strategy

116
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 4: and then turn that.

117
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Into one hundred.

118
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: So there are ways to steal long story struck addressing

119
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: addressing a question that I know is going to be asked,

120
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 4: are there are ways to leverage rates of return to

121
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: actually even grow even higher while still investing in the

122
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 4: bigcoin space. That's up to you to see if you're

123
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: a risk real ward ratio and if it's worth it,

124
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 4: and if you have the risk tolerance, and you know,

125
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 4: obviously do your own research. You're responsible for any decision

126
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 4: that you make. But there are ways that you can

127
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: still accelerate your growth in investments outside of just putting

128
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: money inside of bigcoin and then just buying and holding it.

129
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: What are the kinds of investing in micro strategy? Right?

130
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: Because if I'm only asking because in my mind, I'm

131
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: sure people are thinking that too, like, Hey, if crypto

132
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: does have a slight pullback, which it probably will, I'm

133
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: not saying that it'll be a drastic of fifty percent

134
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: pullback or six percent like we've seen.

135
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: They buy it at the current price.

136
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: And let's say twenty twenty six, which everybody and at

137
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: that cycle seems to be a year or has historically

138
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: been a year where it draws down just a little

139
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: bit before obviously it starts to appreciate again in that cycle,

140
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: if they're buying at current prices and for six months

141
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: it's below the price that they bought at.

142
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 6: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

143
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 6: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

144
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 6: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

145
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 6: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

146
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 6: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

147
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 6: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christine Noman, the United States

148
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 6: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

149
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 6: cross are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

150
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 6: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

151
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 6: are here illegally. Your next you will be fine nearly

152
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 6: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

153
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 6: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

154
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 6: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

155
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 6: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump America's laws,

156
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 6: border and families will be protected.
