I didn't know when we moved 183 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: out of Lent like this part of the I talked 184 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: about all the time we moved out, and then I 185 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: went back and realized there was bullet holes in our 186 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: garage door, like I never noticed because the way we 187 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: was brought up was like, look, man, you know, if 188 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: you needed Joe carburetor change, you asked Poco down the street. 189 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, you know, if you 190 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: need babysitting your neighbor doing like we just you make 191 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: spaghetti because spaghetti last for weeks, like so we ate. 192 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Sandwich isn't sugar water, Like 193 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: you don't realize until later, because again, my parents spent 194 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: money very wisely. You know what I'm saying that things 195 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: we didn't have. I you know, I knew I like 196 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: I knew I ain't had like the designer shoes and 197 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: all that good stuff. I knew people, but it was 198 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: just simple. It's like we can't forward that so we 199 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: don't get it, like you just I thought that that 200 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: was just being wise. I didn't know it was because 201 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: we were just kind of low working class. You feel 202 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: me like I ain't. No wealth is when you go 203 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: to pay for your groceries the card go through. So listen, 204 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: if you work in minimum wage fan unfortunately you know, 205 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: minimum wages way below where it's supposed to be. But 206 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: when you went to that in and out, went to 207 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: that five guys and you stuck your card into that 208 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: machine without any fear that is not gonna go through, 209 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: or that some of your other bills are not going 210 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: to get covered because of this, that's that's wealth. When 211 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: you look at like and I mean it's this is 212 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: absurd to say this, but when you look at like 213 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: a billion dollars and two billion dollars, like what I mean, 214 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: what's the difference in their lifestyle? Was what? You know? 215 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: It's a there's no difference in their lifestyle. They stick 216 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: their card in and it works. So look, if you 217 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: got a million dollars but you got a two million 218 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: dollar lifestyle, you're broke. You understand. That's what I'm trying 219 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: to say. One, live within your means and too, don't 220 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: let these people fool you. Their money made up because 221 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: guess what. They can't stick their card into that machine 222 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: and buy that five billion dollar home. They're borrowing that 223 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: money because the piece of paper said that they're worth 224 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: twenty billion. But y'all saw when the stock market did 225 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: that little thing, and apparently Mark Zuckerberg lost some something 226 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: something something billions of dollars in a day, in an 227 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: hour because the stock market dropped. Did his life changeing? 228 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: Is it's not real money because he can't go to 229 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: the bank and pull out a billion dollars. It's just 230 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: on the paper. Well maybe he can, but I just 231 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: I look from what I understand how that ship works. 232 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: That's not how it works. It's just a hustle. And 233 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: you have to know how to recognize a hustle when 234 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: you see one. Now, when you recognize this hustle, here 235 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: are your options and this now I'm giving y'all game here. 236 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: You need to decide is this worth it for you? 237 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: Because you know what they're doing. Once your brain clicks 238 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: in and you understand, oh, I'm just talking to a 239 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: hust Now I need to know, okay, what's in it 240 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: for me?

That's what you trying 260 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: to do. But you gotta recognize it. Some people they 261 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: get a high off off the game itself, and for them, 262 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: you gotta figure out how to understand their cards. For them, 263 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: it's not judo, it's poker. I need to be able 264 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: to understand what's going on in their cards. And you know, 265 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: for me, like I'm not really a good poker player, 266 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: I really understanding game. I ain't gonna lie to you, like, 267 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: but I could slap some dominoes. I could play some 268 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: Bones and let me tell you something. Apparently a Bones 269 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: is an old head game, which I didn't know, so 270 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: I guess officially I'm in that round now. Or that's 271 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: like a West Coast thing I found out, like West 272 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: Coast in sort of Texas, and you know that, like 273 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: apparently everybody else don't play dominoes like that. But I 274 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: tell you what, if we're playing a one on one 275 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: or teams or all four around the table, depending on 276 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: what you play, I know what's in your hand. I 277 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: just because I've played the game enough, I know how 278 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: to switch from offense to defense. I know how to 279 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: like because if you know, if you know how you're 280 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: playing that, you know a lot of times, like it's 281 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: like chess or any other game, like when you're playing 282 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: with somebody, I really don't know how to play that 283 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: it's hard to predict because they play all willy nilly, 284 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But when you're playing with 285 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: somebody that knows how to play right, then you could 286 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: start adding a lot of these strategies and start reading 287 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: what's going on. My homeboys. My homeboy Derek Miner on 288 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: my other homeboy camera stranging over the relevant magazine, shout 289 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: out my homeboy Cameron. I taught him how to play dominoes. 290 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: And there are times that we'll be sitting around the 291 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: table and I'll be like, play the six four and 292 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: they look at me all mad, like how do you know? 293 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: Because I'm like, I've played enough. It's not magic. There's 294 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: only so many of each suit each domino, right, And 295 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: I know if you would have had this other domino, 296 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: you would have played it a long time ago because 297 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: it would have made you a lot of money. You 298 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: would have scored, you know, points that you played that 299 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: one right. And I know that when I played this 300 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: right and you hesitated that you didn't have that piece. 301 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: So that means if I'm counting my dominoes, I'm going 302 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: on tagit. But this is what I'm trying to say. 303 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: It's like, you got to recognize I'm kinning my dominoes. 304 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, it ain't. But there's only one more six 305 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: out there. And I'm looking at the board and I'm like, Okay, 306 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: you can't play there. You can't play there, can't play there. 307 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: You would have played that if you had it. That 308 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: means Derek got the six four, played the six four. 309 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: He's just like Derek be like ship man and then 310 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: he played a six four and I'll be like, perfect domino. 311 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So, but it's because I'm 312 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: just watching the board. So when you're talking to somebody 313 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: that's in the hustle that's like just gets to high 314 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: off the game itself. You have to be able to 315 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,959 Speaker 1: read what he's what that person telling you and what 316 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: they're not telling you to figure out what they actually 317 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: saying to you. I've had to use this skill in 318 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: many professional environments around the music industry, around um even 319 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: some of like just corporate situations. You need to just 320 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: gear out what this person is saying and the only 321 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: and I ain't go to no business school, you know 322 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And look look and in my life, 323 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: my my young life. Yeah, I mean it could have 324 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: been where it wasn't that hard, you feel me, Like 325 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't.

Uh? So he was 389 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: out in the Bahamas. He had these two partitions. So 390 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: he had the bank, his crypto bank, and then he 391 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: had this like personal sort of like investment firm to 392 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: where it's like, if you want to, like, you know, 393 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: make your money sweat a little bit, you could work 394 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: on this side. But we'll go we'll get it to 395 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: the specifics of it later. But there's a few things 396 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: that I think you need to understand that if you 397 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: like me. It was like when you heard bitcoin and 398 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: how bitcoin work, he was like, huh whatever, it sounds 399 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: like the same ship because it kind of is just 400 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: depart the so because the hustles a hustle, right anyway, 401 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: the magic of bitcoin or cryptocurrency if you will, Um, Now, 402 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: this isn't a crypto bro uh pod. And I'm probably 403 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of this wrong or at least incomplete, 404 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: because it's not necessarily my field of expertise. But I 405 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: can help you understand it like this. Remember I say 406 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: this all the time, money is not real. It is 407 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: worth what we say it's worth, right, And the value 408 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: of those dollars changes per country, right, because each country 409 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: gets to say, in relation to what their currency can purchase, 410 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: how much that currency is worth. And then we have 411 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: this whole exchange rate. You know, if ever you travel, 412 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Well, one dollar equals this 413 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: many pasos you know, or pests. You know what I'm saying. 414 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: Wherever you are, right, And if your brain worked like mine, 415 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: you was like, this seems arbitrary. Sometimes it just seems 416 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: like y'all just moving decimals. Because listen, whether a cup 417 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: of coffee and a croissant costs five dollars in America, 418 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: but you tell me it costs fifty five, you know, 419 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: pestos in Mexico. I'm like, it's well, it's the same 420 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: because it just still just brought me the same, right, 421 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: because of just it's what difference? What do you mean 422 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: your dollars worth? Right? So I'm like, what because the 423 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: numbers made up? Like you're just moving decimals. It took 424 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: me these many hours to make this amount of money. 425 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: So whether you call that money you know, calary shells 426 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: or one bitcoin, Like, it's just it took me this 427 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: much time to get that, right, So it's just it 428 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: kind of it's like, what is any of this stuff mean? Well? 429 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: It Well, the truth is you're right, Like, it doesn't 430 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: mean anything. It's what I just need to know how 431 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: much milk is and how many hours I gotta work 432 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: to be able to have enough of whatever this currency 433 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: is to get that milk. That's what it means, right, 434 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: And who gets to decide that? Well, currently we have 435 00:25:54,400 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: federal banks, world banks, international things that are backed by governments, right, 436 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: so it's people that get to say based on whatever 437 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: the hell is based on in relation to like how 438 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: much how many dollars are in circulation, that's what like inflation. 439 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: We did stuff on inflation and all this stuff. Remember 440 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: we did the thing on inflation and all this stuff, 441 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: like how many dollars are in in circulation across the world? 442 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: What can it purchase? Me? Do? Can my government back it? Right? Uh? 443 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 1: You know, when we moved away from the goal standard, 444 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: which meant like there was which again is also something 445 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: made up to we said that this rock right that 446 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: comes out the earth is worth these many dollars, you know, 447 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: So it was weights you feel me. It was like 448 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: this rock is worth this, so we knew like this 449 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: dollar is backed by that rock, right. I don't know 450 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: why we thought that that was somehow more secure than 451 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: it just being backed by paper, because who say the 452 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: rock is worth what? This work? You feel me? The 453 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: point I don't want to get lost in the weeks here. 454 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: The point is the regulation of how much dollars are 455 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: worth or not worth's contingent on governments and humans. The 456 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: promise of bitcoin was that it removes the human factor. 457 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: It's just math. It's that the amount of bitcoin that's 458 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: in circulation and how much it's worth is based on algebra, 459 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: meaning there's only it's an equation. There's only so many. 460 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: So what governs it is not a government or a bank. 461 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: It's math. This was the promise of it. So if 462 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 1: you remove governments from it and it's just simply math. Right, 463 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: when you get the amazing computers and you quote unquote 464 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: air quotes farm bitcoin, Remember there's only so many there, 465 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: so if there's a finite number, we always know what 466 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: it's worth. Right. That's the promise of it, which means 467 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: that and the only way to access to it is 468 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: all you need is a cell phone internet connection. So 469 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: the promise was supposed to be, Yo, this removes corruption, 470 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: It removes the slings and arrows and the ebbs and 471 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: throat flows of war, of government, of stock market because 472 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: it's digital, like it's just it's math. That was the 473 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: promise of it. The promise of it was that it 474 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: was completely anonymous because it's digital like you're it's not 475 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, your your wallet is not like a a 476 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: paper thing in your pocket. You know, it's not a 477 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: bank account that could get hacked per se. Right, that 478 00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: was the idea around the promise of bitcoin. But as 479 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: we know, save ships different day, y'all. So let me 480 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: go back to what they were trying to save us 481 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: from from from a bank, right, remember that dissonance I 482 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: was talking about earlier. Yeah, okay, so a bank's of hustle, guys, 483 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: this because okay, uh, it's not the movies. There's not 484 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in a vault in a bank.

America fails bank, it's great, one of 551 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: the greatest hustle. Is one of the greatest licks in 552 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: American history. Yea, because you gotta save us, because if 553 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: I lose, we all lose. So good for us in 554 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: the sense that there was somebody there too, like we said, 555 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: bail them out. Government bailouts. Now again, you can have 556 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: your problems with that. But had that not happened, I 557 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: don't know if we would have the lifestyle we have now. 558 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: Crypto banks is different. They ain't no government. So what 559 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: FTX happened was people went over there realizing that like, yo, 560 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: bitcoin is fluctuating just like the rest of the stocks. 561 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: Oh this ship is the same. They're saying, Yo, the 562 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: value of bitcoin, dick bug is plummeton because let me 563 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: take my money out before before everything go wrong. So 564 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 1: foods rushed the bank and guess what what no money there. 565 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: So folks was like, nigga, where where my digital money? 566 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: I you you were supposed to be.

Though it's not funny, but 571 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: it's funny. The difference is though ain't no government to 572 00:35:29,160 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: bail out, no crypto nigga. That money gone and it's gone. 573 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: So let me let me give you some specifics about 574 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: the case if you don't know already. So John Ray 575 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: is the new CEO.

Let me tell you 612 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: what he did. It's real simple. I'm taking your money 613 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: and I'm spending it on my ship. It's I mean, 614 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: it is not new because now the particulars of it 615 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: may be sophisticated because you're using cryptocurrency right as as 616 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,479 Speaker 1: a bank thing. But then you have this other side 617 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,399 Speaker 1: of the thing that's supposed to be an investment thing. 618 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: So when you got money in here, you can say, yo, 619 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,720 Speaker 1: I'm down there, like help you invest in some other stuff. 620 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: But that investment firm side of his company was his wallet. 621 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: He was just living off that. And it's real simple. 622 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: When people come ask for their money, he was using 623 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,479 Speaker 1: somebody else's money to give them that. So you gotta 624 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: it's real simple. It's you owe your mama five dollars, 625 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: so you go borrow ten dollars from your auntie. You 626 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: pay your mama five dollars. You got five now in 627 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: your pocket. But then your auntie come back and say, hey, 628 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: I need my ten dollars back, So you go ask 629 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: your cousin for fifteen dollars and then you pay your 630 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,399 Speaker 1: cousin back this so now you owe fifteen, you pay 631 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: them you got so, and then eventually somebody gonna be like, yo, 632 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: I'm done lending you money. Like if everybody come in 633 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: and say, hey, where my money, They're gonna realize, oh, nigga, 634 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: you ain't got none because you've been pocketing this extra 635 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: five Because I noticed, man, you gotta really you've been 636 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: bringing home the good snacks these days. But your boy 637 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: over there living real good off somebody else's money. So 638 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: that if you get and listen, if you could keep 639 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: the balls in the air, if you could keep the 640 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: hustle going, everything cool unless everybody you hustling comes to 641 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: ask for the money at the same time. Because now 642 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: I can't borrow from customer A. I can't hustle customer 643 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: A to giving me investment money so I could pay 644 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,479 Speaker 1: out the yields to customer BE because Customer A and 645 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 1: B is like, yo, I'm ready to pull my money. 646 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: But at the heart of the problem was f t X. 647 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,879 Speaker 1: And then this hedge fund. It's a crypto hedge fund 648 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,439 Speaker 1: called Alameda Research. Now, if you like me, you might say, prop, 649 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: what the hell is a hedge fund? I'll be hearing 650 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: about it on TV and in movies all the time. 651 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: But what is a hedge fund. It's a hustle. Just 652 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,800 Speaker 1: just listen, don't worry about it. It's not important for 653 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: the story. We'll do that for an other thing. Just 654 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: end of the day. He got this other thing tied 655 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 1: to his first thing. So the biggest problem was that 656 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: there's just seemed to be no partition. There was no 657 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: division between this bank and his heads Fun, which is like, 658 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: these are technical, these are two different companies, So what 659 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: the what the case is like, Basically, you would put 660 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 1: your money into f t X, you know as just 661 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: like a regular Joe blow just like, yo, this is 662 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: my little crypto bank, right, and he would take the 663 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: money from there and cover his debts in Alameda and 664 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: pay out the stuff he was supposed to pay out 665 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:42,720 Speaker 1: from you know, uh situations he had promised people inside 666 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: of his Heads Fund. But as I told you, Crypto 667 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: was dropping. So since Crypto was dropping, foods was like, yo, 668 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: I need my money. So what he was doing was 669 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: taking your money from f t X, putting it in 670 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: the thick thing, putting it into Alameda, paying out everybody, 671 00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: and then trying to figure out what I could do 672 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: to put the money back into f t X right 673 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: before somebody come asked for their money.
