1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: The financial system as we know it just changed overnight 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: thanks to an obscure three number rule, and bitcoin is 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: at the center of it all. Now, for years, banks 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: have been locked out of bitcoin because of one controversial 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: SEC rule has been challenged and vetoed by Biden. But 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: in a stunning turn of events, the rule's been overturned. 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: And note this isn't just a policy shift, it's the 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: beginning of a complete fundamental change in how bitcoin fix 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: into the global financial system. And no matter what you 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: know about this, you're not bullish enough. So in this video, 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to break down exactly what the SEC just 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: did and why. Now I'm gonna explain why this is 13 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: a much bigger deal for bitcoin than most are thinking. 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: We're going to look at how this will impact bitcoin's 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: value and adoption, and of course what we should be 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,319 Speaker 1: watching and paying attention to as all this unfolds. Now 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: real quick. I'm Mark Moss. I've been making bitcoin and 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: macro educational content for over seven years with over one 19 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: hundred million views. I'm a partner of leading bitcoin hedge 20 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: fund called the Bigcoin Opportunity Fund. I'm the chief visionary 21 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: officer at Matador. It's a new public bitcoin company, and 22 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: I helped thousands of investors like you navigate these fast 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: moving times. And this is the exact information that we're 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: looking at to plan our next moves, and so should you. 25 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: So let's go all right, So what is this obscure 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: three number rule we're talking about. Well, this is SAB 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: one two one. Huh. Well what does that mean? Well, 28 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: SAB staff Accounting Bulletin. And basically this was issued by 29 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: the SEC, the Securities Exchange Commission back in twenty twenty two, 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: and it established the crypto accounting standards. Now, the important 31 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: thing to know about this is it was not a law, 32 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: It was not a regulation. It wasn't passed through the 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: regular means in the United States of going through Congress. 34 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: This was by the SEC themselves, and so this was 35 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: actually just a bulletin. It was like a note. This 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: is like sort of what we think. And basically what 37 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: it did is it set this requirement, this bulletin of 38 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: how banks should think about accounting standards for bitcoin and cryptocurrency. 39 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: And basically what it did is it required the banks 40 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: to hold bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on their books as a liability. 41 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: And that means for a liability they need to have 42 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: a matching asset as well, and that created a problem 43 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: for them. Now, the important thing to understand is that again, 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: this was not a law, it was not a regulation. 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: It was a bulletin. Now why is that, Well, that 46 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: is because you have to understand this piece. It's because 47 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: the by the administration, including Elizabeth Warren, including Gary Ginsler 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: as the head of the SEC, were very very anti crypto. 49 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Elizabeth Warren ran on a 50 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: platform called an anti crypto army literally figuratively. Now, I 51 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: didn't understand, and I actually asked CHGBT when this came out. 52 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: Win has a United States America politician ever ran on 53 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: a platform to take away freedoms, which would be weird 54 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: in the Land of the Free, and she bet said never. 55 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: But Elizabeth Warren did. She ran platform to take away 56 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: your rights to hold assets as you see fit, which 57 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: is pretty interesting. So you can see Elizabeth Warren, Gary 58 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: Ginsler and Biden were very anti cryptocurrency, very anti freedom. 59 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: And so what happened is instead of going through the 60 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: regular means of going and changing the laws, they decided 61 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: to go around and do something sly and a roundabout way. 62 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: And so what they did is the SEC completely bypassed Congress. 63 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: So instead of going through the regular law channels of 64 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: making a law, what it did is they issued this bulletin, 65 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: and as bulletin said, hey, this is the risk that 66 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: we see. This is what we think you should do. 67 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: And you know it's not a law, but if you 68 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: don't do this, be prepared for us to come in 69 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: and find you and shut you down in all types 70 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: of things. And so it completely bypassed Congress in that way, 71 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: and it fast tracked strong Arms its implementation. Some concerns 72 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: of the SEC's actions were that it had lack of 73 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: due process. So because they circumvented Congress, the SEA ignored 74 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: the proper process. It had regulatory overreach. So it created 75 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: new laws through a threat, a threat of enforcement. So 76 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: this was how the Biden regime did things. They threatened people, 77 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: if they don't do what they want, then they're going 78 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: to be raked through the coals. Now, in that bulletin, 79 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: they showed sort of the technological risk, the legal risk, 80 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: the regulatory risks that were posed. And basically what they 81 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: said here is this was required, required, required, required, So 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 1: they're telling you, if you don't do this, be prepared, 83 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: were coming after you. So guess what happened, Well, the 84 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: banks didn't get involved. They wanted to, and the banks 85 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: started missing out. The banks saw everybody making all this 86 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: money in bigcoin and cryptocurrencies. Of course they wanted in, 87 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: but they couldn't because they were fearful of what the 88 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: SEC would do. And so then what do the banks do. Well, 89 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: if we can't make money, then we're not going to 90 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: let anybody participate. And so you saw things where the 91 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: banks were potentially not letting you transfer money from the 92 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: bank to an extra he's like coinbase for example, like 93 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: my own bank, one of the banks I use won't 94 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: let me transfer money so for example. But the problem 95 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: is the banks were losing customers. They could see people 96 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: pulling money out and send it to cryptocurrency exchanges, and 97 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: banks were very sticky. They don't want to lose those 98 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: customers because they'll lose out a lot of potential income. 99 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: Now again, they wanted to switch over, but they were 100 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: fearful of this hostile administration again, Gensler, Biden, and Warren. 101 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: So what did they do? Well, they did what you're 102 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: supposed to do in America, which is they started to 103 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: have a legislative movement, and they submitted a bill to 104 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: get SAB one two one recinded so the sec wouldn't 105 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: have this hanging over their head. And they got it 106 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: through last year through the Senate. The Senate approved it, 107 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: they got it through the House, the House approved to 108 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: repeal it. Then it got all the way to Biden's 109 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: desk and he vetoed it. So the will of the 110 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: American people, the Banks, the Senate, the House all said 111 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: get rid of this bulletin. You shouldn't have that power. 112 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: And the president, President Biden vetoed it, or whoever had 113 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: his stamp at the time, we don't know. So basically 114 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: what happened you can see here Biden veto's the resolution 115 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: to overturn it. This was last year with Biden's angry face. 116 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: Like I said, probably wasn't him. So what happened then, Well, 117 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: the American people voted and they got Biden out and 118 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: they put Trump in. Trump came in. He gave this 119 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: speech at Bitcoin conference in Nashville last year. I got 120 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: to speak on the main stage about two hours before 121 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: Trump showed up. I tried to stay backstage to see 122 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: him when he showed up, but they wouldn't let me. 123 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: But I got to watch this stage, this presentation from 124 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: the front of the stage, and he basically said, fire 125 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: Gary Ginsler. On day one he said, we've seen all 126 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: the persecution that's happened to the bitcoin and cryptocurrency space 127 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: by the SEC, and we're going to get rid of it. 128 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: We're going to fire him. So the American people spoke 129 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: as it's supposed to be done, and Trump came in. 130 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: Now this is where things get interesting, and not just interesting, 131 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: but very powerful. So here comes the Bank. So what 132 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: happened is Trump has so far kept his word. He's 133 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: done a lot of things he said he was going 134 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: to do, like, for example, close the borders. He freed 135 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: Ross on day one, and he got rid of Gary 136 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: Ginsler at the head of the SEC. So he stepped 137 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: down and immediately SAB one two one was rescinded. The 138 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: very thing that was holding the banks back, the financial 139 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: system back, the very thing that they tried to get 140 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: rid of that Biden wouldn't let go of. It's over 141 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: so the bank. So that's been rescinded, and now the 142 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: banks are coming with adoption. You can see breaking SEC 143 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: officially rescinds SAB one twenty one, which prevented banks from 144 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: custodying bitcoin. So if the banks can custody bitcoin, that 145 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: means now they could hold it on behalf of their customers. 146 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: They could sell it to their customers. They could sell 147 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: it and hold it. They could do all types of 148 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: financial products, lending products, hedging products, all types of financial products, 149 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: which of course is what they want to do. Now. 150 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: If the banks do this, this brings adoption. Why well, 151 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. Number one, it makes it 152 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: accessible two millions, millions, hundreds of millions of people. People 153 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: already have bank accounts. If I can just click a 154 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: button and add bitcoin in my bank account, it makes 155 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: it very easy, very accessible. Number two, it adds legitimacy 156 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: and trust. I mean, I don't know about this magic 157 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: internet money. I don't know about this exchange. I mean, 158 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: I got to set up this account and I somehow 159 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: have to send them money. Seems kind of sketchy. But 160 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: if my money is already in my bank who I 161 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: trust Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, and I can 162 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: click a button to add bitcoin, it adds legitimacy and trust. 163 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: I trust the bank to hold my money. I can 164 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: trust the bank to hold my bitcoin. It also then, 165 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: as I said, allows the banks to introduce all types 166 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: of new products they want to do this. Let me 167 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: show you exactly what they're saying. We just saw the 168 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: World Economic Forum was being held in Davos, and of 169 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: course all the world leaders, including the banksters, were all 170 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: there at Davos. David Solomon, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, 171 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: one of the largest, most prestigious, most influential financial firms 172 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: in the world, said, at the moment, from a regulatory perspective, 173 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: we can't own bitcoined. This was a few weeks ago 174 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: previous to this being rescinded. He said, But but if 175 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: the world changes, which it just did, we can have 176 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: a discussion about it. So he's saying, look, we'd love 177 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: to get into it, but we can't. But if it changes, 178 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: we're all about it. That's what he's saying. Okay, that's 179 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: Goldman Sachs. What else we got a small business owner, 180 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: are you buried in all types of work keeping you 181 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: from the real thing that makes you money.

Well we have right here Morgan Stanley, 195 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: CEO Ted Pick said, we'll be working with Treasury and 196 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: I have the regulators to figure out how keyword, how 197 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: how we can offer crypto services in a safe way. Well, 198 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: they don't have to anymore because it's been rescinded and 199 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: they're ready to come in hard and heavy. Now, speaking 200 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: of hard and heavy, we have here a message from 201 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: Bank of America CEO Brian moynihan. He said, if the 202 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: rules come in and make it a real thing, you 203 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: can actually do business with, which you just did, you'll 204 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: find that the banking system will come in hard. Quote, 205 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: come in hard. What does hard mean? Well, I have 206 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: some numbers for you, he says, they're going to come 207 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: in hard. So Goldman, Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, 208 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: some of the biggest banks in the world are coming 209 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: in hard. But what does hard really mean. Well, here 210 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: we have Blackrock, not arguably the biggest financial firm in 211 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: the world. I think eleven and a half trillion dollars 212 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: in assets Blackrock, it's not their money. It's not eleven 213 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: and a half trillion dollars with their money. It's your money. 214 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: It's your pension, your retirement fund. They manage it on 215 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: your behalf. Blackrock is now telling everybody that they manage 216 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: money for that They recommend bitcoin portfolio waiting of up 217 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: to two percent. Up to two percent, the largest financial 218 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: firm in the world, who manages more money for more 219 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: people than anybody else, is saying that everyone should have 220 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: about a two percent waiting to bitcoin. That's what hard 221 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: looks like. Now, what would a two percent waiting mean? Well, 222 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: the head of Blackrock, Larry Fink, just happened to tell us. 223 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: He said that I was with a sovereign wealth fund 224 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: during this week and Davos, and there was a conversation 225 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: should we have a two percent allocation or should we 226 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: have a five percent? Not should we have one or not? 227 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: But it's how big should it be two percent or 228 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: should it be five percent? And he said that if 229 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: everybody adopted that conversation. When he says everybody, what he's 230 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: talking about is if all the big funds, not every 231 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: single person in the world, but all the big funds. 232 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: If if everybody, if the funds would do that, if 233 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: they'd have that conversation, we'd see bitcoin up to seven 234 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars per bitcoin. So that's seven hundred thousand 235 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: potentially a future value, and you can buy it for 236 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand today. Seems like a pretty good deal. 237 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: I think Larry Fink is bullish, but maybe he's still 238 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: not bullish enough. All right, let's keep going now. The 239 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: reason why he may not be bullish enough is because 240 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: you have to understand this isn't just that SAB one 241 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: two one was recented, which it was. What this is 242 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: it's really a signal. It's a shift, it's a fundamental transformation, 243 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: it's a regime shift. We got the entire whatever you 244 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: want to call it Obama Biden administration. That regime is 245 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: out and we have a new regime in that's completely different. 246 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: How different, Well, Gensler, Gary Ginsler, Elizabeth Warren, the anti 247 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: crypto army, they're out and instead taking Ginsler's place is 248 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: Hester Pierce. Now, Hester Pierce has been with the SEC 249 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: for a long time. She has been one of the 250 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: only people at the SEC that's been friendly to crypto. 251 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: She's been this voice of reason, if you will, trying 252 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: to speak on behalf of the people. So much in 253 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: fact that hester Pierce has been labeled crypto Mom. Now 254 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: Ginsler is out, and guess who took his place, none 255 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: other than crypto Mom Hester Pierce. As a matter of fact, 256 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: we also have David Sachs, a well known crypto advocate 257 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: who has now become Trump's cryptos are. So we have 258 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: a huge crypto advocate as the cryptos are. We have 259 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: Crypto Mom taking over the SEC, and we have Trump 260 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: who came in and used an executive order to get 261 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: rid of Operation choke Point. And Operation choke Point was 262 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: this u SEC basically regulation, well not regulation, but they 263 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: were attacking banks and other financial institutions sort of unconstitutionally 264 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: and that is gone. You can see here this article 265 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: from Bloomberg says, the SEC launches Crypto Task Force, led 266 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: by crypto mom Hester Pierce. So they're going to develop 267 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: a clear framework for crypto and they're going to do 268 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: it the right way. They're going to coordinate with Congress 269 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: as well as well as other agencies. So not like 270 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: with the SECD before, which was this inrun around Congress, 271 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: They're going to work directly with Congress. This is a 272 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: big deal. This is a regime shift. On top of that, 273 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: as I said, Trump did some executive orders executive order 274 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: sidelines the FED and its sidelines the FDIC, like get 275 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: out of the way. We're doing this right, we're doing this. 276 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: This is the end of Operation Choke point two point zero. 277 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: No longer will they do these unconsc titutional moves. If 278 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency and bit one is legal in the United States, 279 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: as an American, you should have the right to do this. 280 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: Now if you're not in the United States, what does 281 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: this mean to you, Well, the US is a pretty 282 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: big influential country and most likely this will trickle down 283 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: to your country as well. But regardless, this is going 284 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: to bring the boat up for everybody in the world. 285 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: And again, this is not just about banks holding bitcoin 286 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: as a custody. This is an entire regime shift. Do 287 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: you understand what I'm talking about now? If you've been 288 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: watching my videos for any time, then you know that 289 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: this fits perfectly into the fifty year quantum wave framework 290 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: that I've been talking about for a long time. We're 291 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: in this fifty year cycle. There's four distinct phases now, 292 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: as I've shown many times, Phase one right here is 293 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: where retail comes in. This is where the big bang happens. 294 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: All the retail comes in, the developers come in, the 295 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: nerds that like the Playo technology come in. Phase two, 296 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: which is where we're at right here, is the largest 297 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: part of the cycle. It's what we call the surge. 298 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: And this represents what I call the institutional phase or 299 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: the frenzy phase. So for those of you who are 300 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: watching this thinking it's too late, I should have bought 301 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: bickcoin when it was ten cents or one thousand or 302 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: ten thousand, know that right now is still early. We 303 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: still have the biggest part of the move right here 304 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: in front of us. And so what's interesting is this 305 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: fifty year framework that's happened. Now this is the sixth 306 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: time in three hundred years we happen to have the 307 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: news of the regime change, the Trumpet administration. That fits 308 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: in perfectly with this entire framework. Now you can see 309 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: we can also overlay something that we use in technology 310 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: to measure adoption called an S curve, and we can 311 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: also see that the time it takes to go from 312 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: zero to ten percent adoption is the same time it 313 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: takes to go from ten percent to full adoption, which 314 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: is generally eighty or ninety percent. And you can see 315 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: this is a parabolic run that we have in front 316 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: of us. And again this shift fits in perfectly with that. 317 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: Now we can see this is a little bit of 318 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: an older chart. These are slides from a video I 319 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: gave over an Abu Dhabi about a month ago called 320 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: Abu Dhabi is the capital of capital. Some of the 321 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: richest people in the world were there and we saw 322 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: then that institutions were coming for bitcoin. As a matter 323 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: of fact, at that time, over sixty public trade institutions 324 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: were already holding bitcoin in their balance sheet. Today it's 325 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: almost one hundred. In like a month, it's almost doubled. 326 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: That's how quickly this is coming. If you want to 327 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: watch the full video from this, we'll link it down below. 328 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: You can watch this whole video, see all these slides. 329 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: It's pretty compelling if I do say myself. We'll link 330 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: to that down below. And if you'd like to know 331 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: how we invest through this, what types of assets when 332 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: we be buying during this part of the cycle, I'm 333 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: having a free live event. We'll all go through a 334 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: number of charts and you can see exactly what history 335 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: tells us about this. It's free. If you want to 336 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: come hang out, we'll do live Q and A. I'll 337 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: put a link to that down below as well. But 338 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: this is a big deal. Now let's think about this 339 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: from a few different ways and get ready for impact. 340 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: So on a short basis, we want to be thinking 341 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: about this being more about sentiment. So we're going from 342 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: like this aggressive stance where we're basically trying to penalize 343 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 1: it and shut it down to now legitimizing it. Right, 344 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: we have an administration that's now very pro bitcoin, so 345 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: this starts to change the mental sentiment. Now, don't be 346 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,479 Speaker 1: alarmed if we see the volatility in front of us. 347 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: This doesn't mean that the price of bitcoin is going 348 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: to double overnight, but we'll start to see this sentiment 349 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: shift as more people coming in. Now, this just allowed 350 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: the banks to clear the way. It takes time for 351 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: them to build products and launch products, so be patient. 352 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: But over the long term, we're talking about potentially hundreds 353 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars of capital coming in. Now, let's 354 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: put this into perspective. We got bitcoin ETFs about a 355 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: year ago. We've had less than one hundred billion dollars 356 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: of capital come in to the ETFs, but yet the 357 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: price of bitcoin, the market cap has gone up by 358 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 1: more than a trillion dollars. So one hundred billion equals 359 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in market app what happens if a few 360 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: hundred billion come in? You can do the math. That's 361 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: more long term, which again fits perfectly into this thesis. 362 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: But some people are afraid that there's risks. Some people 363 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: are afraid that if the banks come in, this leads 364 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: to manipulation. If they own all the bitcoin, what if 365 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: they start to suppress the price like they've done with 366 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: gold and things like that. Well, what I would say is, 367 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: think about this from a different perspective. Think about this 368 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: from a game theory, or maybe a psychological standpoint. If 369 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: the banks are itching to get in because they want 370 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: to make a bunch of money from you, if they 371 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: want to have more ETFs, well, the only reason they're 372 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: going to buy the ETFs or buy the bitcoin is 373 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: if the price goes up. If they starting to manipulate 374 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: it to push the price down, you wouldn't be buying it. 375 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: What would be the point of that, And so I 376 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: would just have you think about that. I think the 377 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: risk of manipulation is very low. All right, now, what 378 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: do we want to do? We want to be watching 379 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: this as it develops. A couple things. One, we want 380 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: to watch the big banks, the JP, Morgan's City Banks, 381 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: the Bank of America has already told you what they're saying. 382 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: They're coming, but we want to watch for this, right. 383 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: We also want to watch the SEC because this isn't 384 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: done yet. This is only the beginning. At this point, 385 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: at the time I'm recording this, we're only not even 386 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: a week into this new regime, this new administration. They're 387 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: not done yet. They are going to completely open this up. 388 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: The United States is going to become the capital of 389 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: bitcoin and digital assets right here in America. But it's 390 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: gonna also take Global Liquity. So, as I said, just 391 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: because this is happening doesn't mean the price got double overnight. 392 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: The main driver in the driver's seat is Global Liquity. 393 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 1: If you want me to do a whole video on that, 394 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: leave me a note in the comments down below. Global 395 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: equity is the driver for all assets, specifically risk assets 396 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: that are sensitive like bitcoins. We want to definitely watch that. 397 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: But I do want to leave you with the thought, 398 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: and that is that we are at the doorstep right now. 399 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: This is a moment in time. Remember this the doorstep 400 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: of the single biggest migration of capital. All the money 401 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: is in the old legacy system and it's all migrating 402 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: over to the new system, an adoption into the digital 403 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: asset space. And no one has seen something this big 404 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: ever happened before, and we are lucky enough to be 405 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: alive watching it right now. All right, let me know 406 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: what you think, Let me comment down below. Are you 407 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: expecting this to be as big as I am? Let 408 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: me know in the comics down below, all right. And 409 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: other than that, so I got to your success, I'm 410 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: out
