- 0:02Welcome back
- 0:05to Cryptos Are Us. I'm George.
- 0:08We're all George. Welcome to another
- 0:11market open stream.
- 0:14Happy Friday. Is today going to be a
- 0:16better day
- 0:18than yesterday? Yesterday was a brutal,
- 0:22brutal red day. US markets fell like I
- 0:26haven't seen in years. Crypto fell down
- 0:31and we're facing a global market
- 0:35bloodbath. But is today better day?
- 0:39Let's discuss. All right, let's do it
- 0:43guys. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
- 0:48So, we are starting out a day
- 0:49unfortunately with Bitcoin down over 5%
- 0:53versus yesterday's number.
- 0:56So, we're at 75,000 right now and a lot
- 0:58of alts are bleeding. ETH is at 2,200.
- 1:04Uh, Soul is right under 90
- 1:08and then uh you got Sooie at 86. XRP
- 1:12down almost 10% from yesterday 118. But
- 1:16today the US market is looking stronger.
- 1:21Uh you could see that
- 1:24we are plus 200 for NASDAQ at least.
- 1:28There's a little bit of buying.
- 1:30Yesterday was just absolutely horrible.
- 1:32Overall, tech has been selling off like
- 1:34crazy. And yesterday just escalated.
- 1:37There was just way too much FOMO and I
- 1:39mean, yeah, FOMO in the wrong direction.
- 1:41Panic dumping. But normally when you
- 1:44have a large correction like this and it
- 1:47bottoms, especially for tech,
- 1:49it recovers and it's a really good
- 1:52buying opportunity. It's just uh it's
- 1:55hard to time,
- 1:57right? A lot of people are looking for
- 1:59that bottom like the absolute moment
- 2:02where it bottoms and bounces is hard to
- 2:04time. Yesterday could have been that
- 2:06day. Maybe we have a few more days like
- 2:08that before we finally find bottom. But
- 2:10basically all the gains from the last
- 2:12like six months were wiped out within
- 2:16the last few weeks. But today we are
- 2:19bouncing a little bit. Uh and we got
- 2:22good economic data which actually isn't
- 2:25what we want.
- 2:28Uh economy added a lot more jobs than
- 2:31expected last month. 165,000 versus like
- 2:33it was 80 something anticipated. And
- 2:36then unemployment slips down to 4.1 from
- 2:384.2.
- 2:41This is good as a nation but bad for
- 2:44lowering interest rates uh lowering the
- 2:46Fed fund rate because we were actually
- 2:49you know we're trying to put some
- 2:51pressure on the Fed
- 2:54and uh this doesn't put pressure on the
- 2:56Fed. You know if if the economy was
- 2:58suffering and then we had high inflation
- 3:01you know it it makes them choose right
- 3:03and they normally choose to save jobs
- 3:05and save the economy. But if the economy
- 3:07is actually recovering, then they don't
- 3:08have to do that. They just concentrate
- 3:10on inflation and that leads to more rate
- 3:14hikes. That's not what we want. You have
- 3:19this one uh Fed president says uh hikes
- 3:24ahead but at a gradual pace.
- 3:27See, that's not what we want. That's not
- 3:30what we want at all. Right now in
- 3:32December,
- 3:34it's gotten a little better. Hike is at
- 3:3661%. Hold is 31%. It it was way higher
- 3:41for Hike. So, we're starting to climb up
- 3:43with the markets falling. It does help a
- 3:45little bit, but what more people are
- 3:49expecting and hoping and pushing for at
- 3:52this point is the end of the war to stop
- 3:55the war. If you stop the war, oil prices
- 3:59will slowly gradually come down. Just
- 4:01like when we had ceasefire a few months
- 4:03ago, when we had the ceasefire, oil
- 4:06dropped dramatically down to pre pre-war
- 4:09levels. So oil could come down really
- 4:12quickly.
- 4:15So this is what people are looking
- 4:16forward to. If we stop the war or end
- 4:19the war or pull out or whatever,
- 4:23oil prices come down, things stabilize,
- 4:28okay? then we don't have to force the
- 4:30Fed to raise rates and then 2027
- 4:36it could completely change.
- 4:38I think that's the new that's the new
- 4:40thing, right? That's that's what most
- 4:42people are pushing for. Uh don't know if
- 4:46that's actually going to happen.
- 4:49I actually don't you know a lot of
- 4:51people just overlook it. I guess because
- 4:53Congress couldn't push anything through
- 4:55because Republicans were controlling the
- 4:57Senate side, but as acting president,
- 5:00your war powers, right, only give you
- 5:02like 60 or 90 days and that and that
- 5:04expired already. So, I don't even know
- 5:06how the war is continuing
- 5:10because normally speaking, if you
- 5:12declare war, you have to get approval
- 5:13from Congress and Trump didn't do that.
- 5:16So, I don't know how it's continuing. I
- 5:18guess no one stopped it because they
- 5:20couldn't vote to stop it. But I'm pretty
- 5:22sure Congress is already working hard to
- 5:28figure out how to end the war.
- 5:32And uh so this may be forced upon soon.
- 5:35I don't know. I don't know if there's uh
- 5:37more to it than that. But yeah, that
- 5:42that is what the number one thing e even
- 5:46Vance and Rubio and Trump, they all
- 5:49admitted that the Republicans lost the
- 5:51primary, the not primary, the midterms
- 5:54because
- 5:56people don't understand the war. They
- 5:58don't like it. it has caused things to
- 6:00go up in price and people still don't
- 6:04understand why we have this reliance uh
- 6:06wi with uh with Israel and why we're
- 6:09paying them billions of dollars and a
- 6:11lot of people see this war as a way to
- 6:14help Israel like not sure why
- 6:18we're doing all that when we got our own
- 6:20problems here statewide right like that
- 6:22the these are the big questions and no
- 6:24one has been able to really answer or
- 6:28clarify Okay. Uh, all right. So, outside
- 6:31of this, what else? Uh, obviously AI,
- 6:34meltdown, tech selloff, you have Nvidia,
- 6:38Qualcomm, Micron, SanDisk, Dell, HP, you
- 6:43name it.
- 6:44They all fell hard yesterday and even
- 6:48harder the last few weeks. So,
- 6:50basically, all the gains that they had
- 6:51in the last six months wiped out
- 6:53completely. But that could be a good
- 6:55thing. So, if you missed
- 6:58If you missed all that, the rise up, now
- 7:02is your chance to get back in again
- 7:05or get in for a first time, I should
- 7:06say. Um, so there's a lot of talk. Why
- 7:10is this all happening? There's a lot of
- 7:12talks about how Democrats don't like
- 7:16data centers. They're going to try to
- 7:18slow down growth. A lot of states like
- 7:21Texas
- 7:23was like
- 7:25was the growth center for data centers
- 7:27and now people are afraid that well
- 7:28Texas now the blue they're going to stop
- 7:31it they're going to halt all this
- 7:34momentum and that's why there's this all
- 7:37this fear right but Texas did say
- 7:39they're not going to stop any contracts
- 7:40that's already in place for 2027 2028 so
- 7:44at least we have that but afterwards who
- 7:46knows what's going to happen
- 7:48and I saw all this ING, which is a big
- 7:52bank out there, is trying to actually
- 7:53sell off their $500 million worth of
- 7:56debt from some of these big AI
- 7:58companies. So, they're trying to delever
- 8:01the risk at this point, right? So,
- 8:02anyways, when you hear about this, it
- 8:04doesn't sound very good.
- 8:09So, there's that. But again, I I've been
- 8:11making this point. I think it's there's
- 8:14too much fear, too much panic selling.
- 8:16Everything's too oversold. And that's
- 8:19what happens with market corrections. It
- 8:21always goes to the extreme. These
- 8:23companies are still doing fine. They're
- 8:24making money hand over fist. AI is not
- 8:26going to go away anytime soon and
- 8:28they're only growing. And you can't just
- 8:31ignore it. You can't just ignore and
- 8:32say, "Well, we're just going to stop a
- 8:34building data centers and that's it. You
- 8:36know, that's going to stop
- 8:37advancements." No, because other
- 8:38countries will continue to push forward
- 8:40like China
- 8:42and then we're going to fall behind. And
- 8:44AI is the one category you don't want to
- 8:47fall behind with, right? You can fall
- 8:49behind a lot of things and be fine.
- 8:51Military is probably not one of them,
- 8:53but AI is certainly not one because
- 8:55whoever dominates AI, whoever controls
- 8:58the frontier models basically wins,
- 9:03right? So, I hope people in Congress
- 9:05people
- 9:07understand that we can't lose the AI
- 9:10race. We really can't. We can't afford
- 9:12to lose. That may be the last war we
- 9:15ever lose if we lose that war.
- 9:20Uh outside of that global meltdown
- 9:23everywhere,
- 9:25bloodbath everywhere. Look at all these
- 9:27countries that are now in bare market
- 9:31territory. And I think the US is also at
- 9:34least for NASDAQ.
- 9:36But I mean you got UAE, you got China in
- 9:40here, uh Japan,
- 9:43Brazil, Taiwan,
- 9:46you got all these countries, right? So
- 9:50this is what the world is facing right
- 9:52now. Not just the US, worldwide selloff.
- 9:56A lot of panic selling at this point.
- 10:07Yep.
- 10:08Now, as for Bitcoin and crypto, what
- 10:13does uh what does this have to relate?
- 10:15Well, obviously, when you have this uh
- 10:17panic selloff, a lot of people, a lot of
- 10:21funds, a lot of institutions
- 10:24are selling off because they're just
- 10:26scared. They're they're led by humans.
- 10:28And as smart as these guys are supposed
- 10:31to be, a lot of time they just react
- 10:33with market news like the rest of us.
- 10:35Honestly, now that I've been studying
- 10:38the markets more over the last few
- 10:40years, not just not just about Bitcoin
- 10:42and crypto, but just looking at markets
- 10:44overall and sentiment and how rates and
- 10:47and uh and markets move and how our
- 10:51financial system works. You put it all
- 10:52together and you just watch it,
- 10:57you come to realize that a lot of these
- 10:58guys are just no smarter than you or I.
- 11:01They're just reacting to news. If they
- 11:04see everyone else selling, they just
- 11:06join in on the fun. They see everyone
- 11:08else buying, they join in on the FOMO.
- 11:11Sometimes it just comes down to that.
- 11:13That's why if you look at a lot of these
- 11:15funds, you go back and look at how these
- 11:18funds have performed. Some of the
- 11:20largest hedge funds out there, they have
- 11:24performed no better than just buying the
- 11:26S&P 500. And certainly not better than
- 11:28just buying and holding Bitcoin.
- 11:31So, are they really that smart?
- 11:34I don't know. They know a lot of fancy
- 11:36terms, but they fall for their emotion
- 11:39just like everyone else. Um, and I feel
- 11:42like that's just exactly, you know,
- 11:45exactly uh what's happening right now.
- 11:47You got a lot of people that are scared,
- 11:51okay? Anticipation of pain is worse than
- 11:53pain itself and they're trying to
- 11:55protect their portfolio. And in most
- 11:57cases, when you make rash moves, you
- 12:01lose. You lose money or you lose the
- 12:03underlying thing that you're selling.
- 12:05Uh, and I think we're going to see a lot
- 12:07more of that as we recover upwards. But
- 12:11uh yesterday we did have a minus430
- 12:13million day. That kind of proves that
- 12:15point. You have a lot of people that are
- 12:18just selling off right now. If you look
- 12:19at liquidity is even worse. I haven't
- 12:21looked at liquidity for a while. Uh
- 12:23minus 1.1 billion just from yesterday
- 12:26alone.
- 12:30In one single day, people pulled out
- 12:321.15 billion in stable coins. in the
- 12:35last seven days even worse 5.53 billion.
- 12:39So there are a lot of people that are
- 12:42panic selling trying to you know delever
- 12:46and make cash which is fine if you don't
- 12:48have cash. I know how important that is.
- 12:51That's actually a good reason. But if
- 12:53you're doing it just because you're
- 12:54trying to outsmart the market, you're
- 12:56trying to trade, you think you're going
- 12:58to time the bottom, it's not going to
- 13:02work out. It never does. So, don't do
- 13:05that. But if you need it because hey,
- 13:07you need to pay the bills, that's a
- 13:09different story, right? All right.
- 13:12Outside of that, uh 1.15 billion in
- 13:16leverage wrecked last night. It was even
- 13:19more when I did my videos, was like 1.3
- 13:21billion or something. Uh still clearing
- 13:23out a lot of leverage. Okay. And this
- 13:26doesn't help the situation.
- 13:28you know, whenever we get stuck between
- 13:30a range and there's not a lot of buying
- 13:32pressure or selling pressure, we kind of
- 13:35just hover in that range and liquidation
- 13:38just I think contributes to that because
- 13:42you get a lot of people from one side or
- 13:44another that just keeps on getting
- 13:46liquidated and we go nowhere fast.
- 13:48That's an 1.15 billion.
- 13:51Had they just held
- 13:55and not played with leverage, they'll be
- 13:57fine. They there will be 1.15 billion
- 14:01more in the market right now.
- 14:06So just think about that.
- 14:09Just think about that.
- 14:11All right. Uh last few things.
- 14:16Uh, this shows a lot of sell pressure
- 14:20from Binance and Coinbase.
- 14:24Well, again, this goes to what I was
- 14:26saying. A lot of these people are panic
- 14:28selling because
- 14:30because they're fearful and fear spreads
- 14:34quickly, faster than maybe even FOMO. I
- 14:38don't know what's what spreads faster,
- 14:40fear or FOMO. probably fear.
- 14:44But keep in mind, like I said, I think
- 14:47there's just too much panic right now.
- 14:49And every single time,
- 14:52we do have a major correction.
- 14:55What happens? We find a footing, we find
- 14:58a bottom, and then recover, and then we
- 15:00make a new high. Has always been like
- 15:03that. Even throughout all the crypto
- 15:05winters that we have gone through, every
- 15:08single time
- 15:10that's what happens. You may have to
- 15:13wait a while,
- 15:15but eventually we come back up
- 15:21and someone found this. This looks
- 15:23almost identical to what happened in
- 15:262022
- 15:27when we found that bottom at 15,000,
- 15:30right? We did these weird
- 15:33weird
- 15:35moves where we kind of recovered, went
- 15:38down, then went down a little bit lower,
- 15:40then recovered, went down, and then we
- 15:43started heading higher.
- 15:46It looks almost identical at this point.
- 15:53So, keep that in mind.
- 15:57All right.
- 16:00That's pretty much it today. NASDAQ is
- 16:03gaining some strength, some buying,
- 16:06going back into some of the decimated
- 16:08stocks yesterday. Like AMD was down like
- 16:1120% or something yesterday, like
- 16:13something ridiculous. Now they're up
- 16:1513%. It doesn't make up for how much
- 16:17they went down. It's like halfway, but
- 16:19it's something. Micron, look at that.
- 16:21Look, look at how fel how much it fell.
- 16:23Now it's just barely up 10%. It needs to
- 16:26go up like 50% to even go back to where
- 16:29it was. Uh Sandis, Dell, you know, look
- 16:33today hardly registers because that's
- 16:36how brutal yesterday was. It it doesn't
- 16:38even show up, right? But it's a start.
- 16:41People are recognizing that, hey, maybe
- 16:45markets are too oversold.
- 16:47Maybe this is a good time to be buying,
- 16:51right? Because you really can't time
- 16:52bottom. The best way to do it is DCA. If
- 16:55you buy a little now, which isn't a bad
- 16:56idea, and then next week we go down
- 16:59further, it's okay. You buy more. You're
- 17:01dollar cost averaging. You're bringing
- 17:02your average down. And then when you
- 17:05recover, you're golden.
- 17:08All right, let's do some Q&A.
- 17:37Not sure if CMDC reported as Revolt Bank
- 17:40swaps clock code for self-hosted Chinese
- 17:42open way model cutting AI bill by 90%. A
- 17:45lot of people it's not just them.
- 17:47Microsoft
- 17:49added it. um
- 17:53not GitHub but co-pilot like yeah I mean
- 17:56it could save a lot of normal things
- 17:59don't require frontier models okay that
- 18:01that's the honest truth if you're just
- 18:03doing it for like normal number
- 18:05crunching and stuff you don't need
- 18:06frontier models but you need frontier
- 18:09models when it comes to a very intensive
- 18:12stuff if you're trying to plan a war
- 18:16uh yeah if you want to solve math
- 18:18equations that haven't been solved in 60
- 18:20or 90 years. Yeah, you need frontier
- 18:22models for that. Um, even gaming like
- 18:25right now what I'm doing with uh
- 18:28Frontline and Clash World, I need
- 18:30frontier models. 3D modeling is very
- 18:33intensive
- 18:35to calculate how all these triangles and
- 18:38pixels and textures and shaders, how
- 18:41they work together to look good to
- 18:44simulate a 3D world.
- 18:47It takes a lot of intelligence. And this
- 18:49lower four models just can't do it.
- 18:51They're getting better, but
- 18:54still
- 18:56not quite there yet.
- 19:01We do not need Gary Gunler back. No,
- 19:04that's not
- 19:06that's not what we want.
- 19:09Uh despite the conditions we're in right
- 19:12now, you got to look at it from the
- 19:15glass half full side. Okay, we have very
- 19:18pro- crypto
- 19:20SEC, CFTC, Treasury, and President
- 19:26and they're going to keep pushing
- 19:27forward and that's a good thing as long
- 19:30as they don't allow corruption to keep
- 19:31happening,
- 19:33which mainly everyone's looking at the
- 19:35Trump family now. Um, but outside of
- 19:39that, we're going to have, you know,
- 19:42this nation is going to foster really
- 19:44good innovation going forward. and I
- 19:46welcome it and I look forward to it.
- 19:49Okay, but
- 19:52just got to make sure that another like
- 19:54FTX moment doesn't happen. Uh we had
- 19:57Binance happen. If Binance didn't have
- 20:00the funds and they collapse,
- 20:03man, we would be at like 30,000 Bitcoin
- 20:05right now. Um but luckily it happened to
- 20:09exchange that could cover
- 20:12and they kind of squashed the fears, so
- 20:14that's good. But
- 20:17if it happens to a lower exchange just
- 20:20as big and you know they weren't able to
- 20:22recover then
- 20:25uh it would be really bad. But even when
- 20:27that happens we saw it happen with FTX
- 20:30with Mount Gaus with some of these
- 20:32bigger exchanges. It gets really bad for
- 20:34a while and then we recover back up
- 20:36because nothing can stop this train. It
- 20:39has it's a moving train that is
- 20:42unstoppable at this point. Even if it
- 20:45gets derailed,
- 20:48okay, it'll just continue back up.
- 21:02Ake says, "I really like your concise
- 21:04breakdown why inflation won't ever go
- 21:06down."
- 21:07Yeah, it won't ever go down. when the
- 21:10money supply
- 21:13grew by 30% then everything got 30% at
- 21:16least 30% more expensive so that will
- 21:18never go away and the Fed has always
- 21:20said they like to maintain a 2 to 3%
- 21:23inflation rate
- 21:25um so they will always try to maintain a
- 21:292 to 3% inflation rate they will never
- 21:31say we're going we're going to like
- 21:35maintain a 0% inflation rate um there's
- 21:38probably some smart reason for why that
- 21:40is. I guess you you want to distribute
- 21:44money to help grow the economy in some
- 21:47way. I I don't quite understand why you
- 21:49do need to actually have a set two to 3%
- 21:52inflation rate. There's some bigger
- 21:54purpose to that. So, I'll have to I'll
- 21:57have to look at it. But
- 22:00when the money supply grows, I mean,
- 22:02just look at it. If you don't even think
- 22:04about money, just think about anything
- 22:05else that that's out there, right? Let's
- 22:08say
- 22:11uh I don't know, you got a you got a
- 22:14very limited group of
- 22:18uh cards, sports cards, basketball,
- 22:21football cards, or limited group of
- 22:24Pokemon. They're rare because I mean
- 22:27they're they're priced high because
- 22:29they're rare because there's only
- 22:31certain amount. Now take that certain
- 22:34amount. Maybe there's 10 in the world or
- 22:36there's 30 in the world or a thousand in
- 22:38the world. Now you inflate it by 30%. A
- 22:42th00and becomes 1300. 10 becomes 13. Do
- 22:46you think that's going to increase the
- 22:48price of those goods or collectibles or
- 22:51items? No. It's going to decrease them
- 22:54dramatically. That's what happened with
- 22:56money.
- 22:58Our our money supply went up by 30%. So
- 23:02obviously
- 23:03that devalues all the other money that's
- 23:06in circulation and that is why things
- 23:10got more expensive
- 23:12because money itself became less
- 23:15valuable. So everything got more
- 23:18expensive to make up for it. That's what
- 23:21inflation is. It's it's sometimes hard
- 23:24to understand but if you think about it
- 23:26that's you know just think about in
- 23:27terms of items rather than money and
- 23:30then and then it becomes much more
- 23:32clear.
- 23:43I did post some new new photos in
- 23:45Discord
- 23:47on Frontline of my first person shooter
- 23:51game. Um, so I've been making a move to
- 23:54to ported to Unreal Engine and things
- 23:56look damn good. I mean, just look at how
- 23:58good that looks. It's going to look like
- 24:01a real AAA studio game. Still still
- 24:05improving upon it. Added some more
- 24:08pictures today. It's going to be damn
- 24:11good when it's done.
- 24:17So, just FYI,
- 24:25I should get this done hopefully by this
- 24:28weekend. So, you could still play. One
- 24:30of the great things about Front Line is
- 24:31it's a it's a browser based game. So,
- 24:34you could play it on any computer. You
- 24:36just had to do a small download, but you
- 24:38buy any computer right away. Graphics
- 24:40are decent and the mechanics and
- 24:42everything is really good. But once I
- 24:45get the Unreal Engine out, man, then
- 24:47this becomes a really good AAA game. I
- 24:51might even be able to like put on Steam
- 24:53and stuff and uh and get more attention
- 24:56that way. So, both versions will be able
- 24:59to play each other. They'll be on
- 25:01basically one server still. So, um, it's
- 25:05going to be it's going to be really
- 25:07good. But this is what I'm talking
- 25:08about. You use an inferior model and
- 25:10they can't they can't do this. They they
- 25:12they just can't process things. Now,
- 25:15this isn't perfect, but I know, but if
- 25:18you use like inferior model, um, it just
- 25:22the results are just way worse. Way
- 25:24worse.
- 25:49I don't get people's hatred of data
- 25:51centers.
- 25:53I don't I honestly I don't get it
- 25:55either. I I don't know why. Like data
- 25:58centers are normally just housed in like
- 26:01uh
- 26:03commercial areas or uh you know
- 26:05warehouse areas.
- 26:08when when you're outside, you don't hear
- 26:09any more noise. It's not like it's super
- 26:11noisy. Um, I think there's a lot of
- 26:14concerns about like water usage, which
- 26:16is now no longer really a thing,
- 26:19electricity usage, which is it which is
- 26:21true, but a lot of these data centers,
- 26:24at least the AI ones, they're paying to
- 26:27upgrade the energy infrastructure.
- 26:30They're not just building out the data
- 26:31center. They're upgrading. This is the
- 26:34same argument before people hated
- 26:36Bitcoin mining,
- 26:38right? All these states still hate it.
- 26:40They don't want Bitcoin miners because
- 26:43they're afraid that there's not enough
- 26:45electricity in the grid. But what
- 26:48Bitcoin mining has done is upgraded a
- 26:51lot of these towns that they're in with
- 26:53better infrastructure.
- 26:55That's what these data centers, it's the
- 26:57same principle. I bet these data centers
- 26:59don't even take as much energy as
- 27:01Bitcoin mining facilities, which take a
- 27:04lot more.
- 27:06I guess it depends on the size and
- 27:08stuff, but still,
- 27:10uh, Bitcoin mining is extremely energy
- 27:13intensive,
- 27:15but it's the same thing. It's like I get
- 27:17it if they're building like a data
- 27:18center in your backyard in a residential
- 27:21area that no one wants to see that. But
- 27:24if it's in the middle of a commercial
- 27:25area among all these other warehouses,
- 27:29you don't even notice.
- 27:31Like I see a lot of Amazon warehouses,
- 27:34enormous Amazon warehouses. How come no
- 27:36one complains about Amazon warehouses?
- 27:39You know, I don't it's no different from
- 27:42the outside.
- 27:43Um so that's the thing. And it brings in
- 27:45a whole bunch of revenue for the cities
- 27:47too, for the states. States are all
- 27:49broke. All these states are broke. So
- 27:53what do they do? They keep raising
- 27:54taxes, trying to come out these
- 27:56ridiculous taxes
- 27:58to try to make up for it rather than
- 28:01create new businesses that they could
- 28:03tax. How about allowing data centers,
- 28:06but just tax them more then, right? If
- 28:08Open AI or Anthropic really wants to
- 28:10build a B data center so badly, okay,
- 28:13just tax them more.
- 28:15They'll probably still agree and then
- 28:17get you more money and up and help
- 28:19upgrade infrastructure. Like, why would
- 28:21you not think that way?
- 28:37All I know is next five to 10 years
- 28:40things are going to be very different
- 28:41and we don't want to lose the AI war
- 28:44without data centers. Our models are not
- 28:47going to be able to grow. We need them
- 28:50to grow and maintain the lead. We don't
- 28:54want to be second tier in terms of
- 28:56models
- 28:58or agents. Okay. So
- 29:03we need we need to we need to do
- 29:05something. And not only that, Elon said
- 29:08this too.
- 29:10We don't have enough energy in the US.
- 29:13Even if we build all these data centers,
- 29:15we don't have enough power plants.
- 29:18We need some nuclear power plants. But
- 29:19nuclear has always been like so taboo.
- 29:22Like oh there's there could be nuclear
- 29:24fallout. There could be
- 29:27I don't know some meltdown you know
- 29:29nuclear waste which are all disproven at
- 29:33this point like things the modern
- 29:36nuclear power plants give out very
- 29:38little waste
- 29:40and then uh they build them safe so that
- 29:44unless a tsunami hits and and causes a
- 29:47breach it's fine
- 29:50and China is building like
- 29:53I heard something ridiculous like 10 or
- 29:5520 nuclear plants a year because because
- 29:58they're trying to maintain their growth.
- 30:00I mean that that's just ridiculous. We
- 30:02haven't built a nuclear plant in like
- 30:03decades.
- 30:05We need we need a lot more nuclear power
- 30:08plants.
- 30:19T Schmidt says, "So my electricity bill
- 30:21goes up so billionaires can make all the
- 30:23profit." How about you stop playing
- 30:25victim
- 30:27and do something? How about you use AI
- 30:29to make yourself a billionaire
- 30:32instead of complaining that billionaires
- 30:34are making all the money and then you
- 30:36don't see that's a victim's mindset. And
- 30:39if you're a victim mindset, I don't even
- 30:41know why you're here. Why? Why are you
- 30:43even investing in crypto?
- 30:46Right? There's there's always
- 30:48billionaires everywhere. There's
- 30:49billionaires in crypto. They're making a
- 30:50lot more money than you. So why don't
- 30:53you complain about that?
- 30:56Right? So that's why I don't get those
- 30:58kind of comments.
- 31:00If you're going to be a victim,
- 31:04okay, then then you could just sit in
- 31:06your mom's basement and, you know, do
- 31:09whatever
- 31:11and not not do anything.
- 31:15But if you want to succeed, stop playing
- 31:17victim and do something about it.
- 31:33Crypto and AI are not the same thing. Of
- 31:35course not. But they're both technology
- 31:38and one could think for itself. The
- 31:39other can't. But you they can certainly
- 31:42go together. It's just people haven't
- 31:43really figured out how yet. But they
- 31:46will be able to. You could certainly use
- 31:49AI to build out better crypto products
- 31:51to safeguard crypto better to stop the
- 31:54attacks to patch vulnerabilities,
- 31:57right? AI is a tool right now, a very
- 32:01very powerful tool, but it could also be
- 32:05a thinker, agent,
- 32:07and that's, you know, that's that's
- 32:10something that still needs to be figured
- 32:11out. Most people haven't. Most companies
- 32:13haven't
- 32:43Francis, you're talking about circular
- 32:44financing. That's a that may be a scam,
- 32:47but the technology itself isn't.
- 32:50You could listen to all the naysayers
- 32:52that say this and that and blah blah
- 32:54blah blah blah. That's probably because
- 32:57you haven't used it. If you actually use
- 32:59it, you'll know it's not a scam. These
- 33:01agents are actually thinking for
- 33:03themselves. They have more knowledge
- 33:06than any human on the planet and they're
- 33:09only getting smarter and more useful. So
- 33:12don't fall for this thing where you're
- 33:14hearing, oh, it's a scam and they're all
- 33:16go belly up and it's no better than
- 33:19Google. That's nonsense because you
- 33:21haven't used it. Go do it yourself and
- 33:24you'll see how good it is. If it's no
- 33:27joke that 5 to 10 years almost everyone
- 33:30that has a white collar job will be
- 33:32replaced. People still don't believe
- 33:34that. You're going to start seeing a lot
- 33:35more layoffs. A lot more layoffs soon.
- 33:38And you're starting to hear that
- 33:40already. Microsoft and all these guys
- 33:42giving out early retirement packages
- 33:46left and right.
- 33:50Let's go replace a lot of jobs.
- 33:53So yeah, the circular financing I could
- 33:56agree with. You know, one is investing
- 33:58another and they're investing back. I
- 34:00get that.
- 34:02But the technology itself is certainly
- 34:05no scam.
- 34:13What What do I do as a white collar
- 34:15worker? That's a good question. Um
- 34:17there's two things that you could do to
- 34:21one is make as much money as you can
- 34:25and invest it.
- 34:27Okay, short-term obviously save it.
- 34:30Don't don't wildly spend. Save as much
- 34:32money as you can and then invest.
- 34:36And two,
- 34:38uh learn how to use AI.
- 34:42So the the more you know how to use it,
- 34:44the more valuable you become for your
- 34:47company and for yourself.
- 34:49And that that may be a hard thing
- 34:51because you may never have been an
- 34:53entrepreneur yourself, but it doesn't
- 34:54matter. You should still learn it. It's
- 34:56just like when Google came out, people
- 34:59refused to use it and they fell behind.
- 35:04A lot of the jobs went to people that
- 35:06knew how to use Google, knew how to do
- 35:08research better than
- 35:10normal people, right? It's going to be
- 35:12the same thing. The more you know how to
- 35:14use AI, the more you keep up with it,
- 35:16the more you could help your boss or
- 35:18your company with it, the more valuable
- 35:20you become and it delays the inevitable,
- 35:25which is your firing. Um, but it'll
- 35:28prolong it. It'll extend it. And then
- 35:30you could also use it for other things.
- 35:33build a business that you always wanted
- 35:34to.
- 35:57T Schmidt, I didn't You didn't strike a
- 35:59nerve. You're just a [ __ ] idiot.
- 36:02You're you're a lefty whiner that is a
- 36:05victim.
- 36:10Who are you
- 36:12trying to get me and trying to get on my
- 36:15nerves? You're a sore loser
- 36:19and you think you're going to change my
- 36:22mind. Why don't you [ __ ] off? Yeah. And
- 36:25I did block you. What are you going to
- 36:26do about it,
- 36:29you piece of [ __ ] Yeah. What are you
- 36:31going to do about it? Huh? Go live in
- 36:34her mom's basement.
- 36:57Near
- 37:01Um,
- 37:03I like Deer. I like more more of their
- 37:06AI side than the regular side. I think
- 37:10Near AI is kind of interesting. It's an
- 37:12interference company where you can lease
- 37:14models from them. Um, but the regular
- 37:17chain
- 37:19is meant for AI, but I don't I don't
- 37:23hear a lot about their normal chain.
- 37:26See, this is the problem with crypto. I
- 37:28don't I don't think there's a lot of
- 37:29crypto that's really really really
- 37:31heavily into AI or at least maybe they
- 37:34are and I could be mistaken
- 37:36but you don't really hear about products
- 37:38I guess right that people care about
- 37:40right now it's just really hard to
- 37:41create products that people care about
- 37:43especially when prices are down because
- 37:45honestly I create products and people
- 37:47just don't care because all they care
- 37:49about is their portfolio right so
- 37:54I get it but when things come back
- 37:56that's when those products shine and
- 37:58you're going to hear more of them and
- 38:00they're going to be covered more in the
- 38:02news. So, yeah.
- 38:19What's your estimate timeline on when
- 38:20the last white collar job to go home?
- 38:23It's going to be next 5 to 10 years.
- 38:25It's going to be way sooner than people
- 38:27think because advancement AI is way
- 38:30faster than people know. Like the models
- 38:33that we have now and the models they're
- 38:35about to release are old. These frontier
- 38:38labs are using models that's two, three
- 38:40generations ahead. No joke. And every
- 38:44generation is that much more powerful
- 38:47because now they all learned how to do
- 38:49recursive training. The models are
- 38:51training themselves. So, every model
- 38:53that gets released is way smarter and
- 38:58and they come out with them way faster.
- 39:02It hasn't even really been a year.
- 39:03Enthropic has been around for three
- 39:05years, but when did things really start
- 39:07going?
- 39:10Like in February,
- 39:12so it's only been nine months.
- 39:16Like in nine months, models have
- 39:19quadrupled maybe even more, five times,
- 39:23maybe 10 times their intelligence in in
- 39:26nine months.
- 39:28So think about five more years of this.
- 39:33If every year the intelligence of the AI
- 39:35goes up by at least 500% and I think
- 39:38this will go up more probably 5,000% in
- 39:41a year this extrapolate the intelligence
- 39:45you know it's it's just going to
- 39:46skyrocket to the moon
- 39:48and uh and these companies will figure
- 39:52out how to use them
- 39:55in fact you don't even need to figure
- 39:56out you know what as a company
- 40:00you could already ask AI how to replace
- 40:02jobs and it'll tell you exactly. You
- 40:05feed it all the information.
- 40:07You feed it like, "Hey, I run a company
- 40:10of a thousand employees and this is what
- 40:13they all do." Okay? And this is how much
- 40:17revenue we're making, how much expenses
- 40:20we have. You put it all together, you
- 40:23feed it, you feed Opus that or Fable
- 40:27that, it will tell you exactly and give
- 40:29you a timeline in the next five years
- 40:32how to grow, how to lay off your
- 40:34employees, and how to efficiently
- 40:38integrate Claude code and claude and
- 40:42models in.
- 40:44You could ask AI to do that already.
- 40:46Most companies are not doing that, but
- 40:48if you did that, you probably
- 40:52be way further ahead than everyone else.
- 40:54Um, but eventually everyone's going to
- 40:56figure out that
- 41:15I'm old school. Straight mobile only.
- 41:17That's not old school. That's new
- 41:19school. It's okay.
- 41:22Okay. Anyone that says they're mobile
- 41:25only and don't use a computer,
- 41:28whatever.
- 41:31I can't live without a computer. Though
- 41:33I get it, it's easier to be on a mobile,
- 41:35but like there are certain things it's
- 41:38just way more efficient and better on
- 41:40the computer. Everyone should have a
- 41:43good computer. A decent setup. Not a
- 41:46gaming computer, but a decent setup.
- 42:00If I ask it to build me a better chip
- 42:02than Nvidia, what value does Nvidia
- 42:04have? Well, because Nvidia is asking the
- 42:06same thing and they're building better
- 42:07chips. It's
- 42:10it's just like every other company.
- 42:12They're trying to leaprog each other.
- 42:15you know, Nvidia's chip development is
- 42:17like 100% using AI now. They said that
- 42:21themselves.
- 42:22Microsoft and and uh whatever um Apple
- 42:28haven't admitted this, but Microsoft
- 42:30already admitted this. Like almost all
- 42:32of their code is written by AI. Unreal
- 42:36Engine came out, the next one, they said
- 42:39that it's going to be 100% AI focused.
- 42:41And all these guys are like, "No, no,
- 42:43no. We don't want that." that like get
- 42:45the [ __ ] out of here, right? If you're a
- 42:47coder and you're not using cloud code or
- 42:50codecs, then you're already an ancient
- 42:52dinosaur and you're about to lose your
- 42:54job anyways. Like
- 42:57all these companies are using AI. Like
- 43:00every single one. If you're a company
- 43:01that isn't, you're already falling
- 43:03behind.
- 43:06Again, it's the same as previous,
- 43:10I don't know,
- 43:12previous advancements in technology.
- 43:16Just like the mobile revolution, just
- 43:18like the Google revolution, just like
- 43:21the internet revolution,
- 43:23if you sat on the sidelines thinking
- 43:25it's a fad and everyone else got really
- 43:27good at it, then you wet belly up and
- 43:30you died.
- 43:33Same same concept, but this is even
- 43:35worse.
- 43:48Oh yeah, that reminds me. Um, like the
- 43:50mobile revolution. Um,
- 43:52I watched that uh
- 43:55I think it's a movie. Yeah, it's a
- 43:57movie, not a documentary about Nokia.
- 44:00No, no, about Blackberry.
- 44:02I forgot what they called it. It's on
- 44:04Netflix or one of the streaming things.
- 44:07It's like a story about how Blackberry
- 44:09got so big
- 44:11and then due to some shenanigans but
- 44:13also their arrogance
- 44:15um
- 44:18they died and lost the iPhone. They were
- 44:21so huge. I I remember I was in the
- 44:23corporate world,
- 44:25you know, everyone was using a
- 44:26Blackberry. Every single damn person on
- 44:29the planet was using a Blackberry. And
- 44:31then they kind of, you know, thought
- 44:35that iPhone would never catch on. Then
- 44:37they released inferior model called Bold
- 44:40and that was a horrible, horrible phone
- 44:43and had a lot of problems. And then uh
- 44:46and then they died shortly afterwards.
- 44:50So it's kind of same thing. It's like
- 44:51you can't
- 44:53you got to pay attention to these
- 44:54trends. You can't just ignore it.
- 45:04Yeah, same deal with Nokia. I think
- 45:06Nokia is still around though. They they
- 45:08sell like chips or something. Um they're
- 45:11still around, but they haven't died off
- 45:13completely. I think they still do have
- 45:14flip phones,
- 45:16but I think Blackberry is completely
- 45:18dead.
- 45:23My two largest holdings are Microsoft
- 45:25Nvidia. Am I safe for the next five
- 45:26years?
- 45:29Yes. Yes. Both are not going away
- 45:32anytime soon. Though Microsoft is
- 45:35starting to
- 45:37they're starting to uh trail a little
- 45:40bit. Microsoft
- 45:42is also late in the game, but they have
- 45:45Azure, which is good. That's being used.
- 45:47That's infrastructure, cloud
- 45:49infrastructure for AI. Uh their
- 45:51investment in OpenAI is good, but they I
- 45:54don't know what it is. their
- 45:55relationship got sour. So, Microsoft is
- 45:58now looking at a lot of open- source
- 46:00Chinese models. They integrated with um
- 46:03Copilot.
- 46:07So, I don't know what it is with that.
- 46:26AI can't do trial and error because it
- 46:28can't draw conclusion of something it
- 46:29doesn't know about. That's not true. And
- 46:32how is it solving all these math
- 46:33equations that hasn't been solved for
- 46:36like 80 years?
- 46:39It could still do it. Just a matter of
- 46:41prompting it, right? It could prove
- 46:43something or disprove something. Um, I
- 46:46agree. It hasn't gotten to a point where
- 46:48sometimes it can't critically think. It
- 46:50pigeon holes itself inside like a path
- 46:52or a box that it can't get out of. And I
- 46:55get very frustrated when it does that.
- 46:57It's not perfect. If it was perfect, I
- 46:59we wouldn't even have this conversation.
- 47:00Everyone would be out of job already. Uh
- 47:03so it's not perfect, but these companies
- 47:07are programming them to get smarter
- 47:09every generation so that they could
- 47:11think more for themselves and get
- 47:13themselves out of that box.
- 47:16So
- 47:18it's just a matter of time. they already
- 47:20they already figure everything else out.
- 47:23Um
- 47:26yeah, once they can once they figure out
- 47:29how to make a model really think for
- 47:30itself, like really think like a human
- 47:34critically think and analyze all angles
- 47:37from a
- 47:39top- down perspective, then it's game
- 47:41over. It's just it might be harder to do
- 47:44that, but uh that's the last step.
- 47:57Yeah, we identified the problem, but we
- 48:00don't know the solution and it came up
- 48:02with a solution. So that trial and error
- 48:04thing that you just said doesn't make
- 48:06sense. If there's no solution and it
- 48:09finds a solution,
- 48:12okay, then that disproved your point
- 48:15already. We're talking about problems
- 48:17that have no human solution.
- 48:21It can't find that anywhere and it found
- 48:24the solution. So
- 48:28that's telling you something.
- 48:39It would seem like the total destruction
- 48:41is the only solution. Um,
- 48:45yeah,
- 48:47it's a path we It's a Pandora's box.
- 48:50Okay. It's just like when we discovered
- 48:51nuclear power or nuclear weapons. Once
- 48:55you have it, you can't take it back.
- 48:57It's not like every nation is going to
- 48:58say, "Oh, we're just going to pretend
- 49:00like we don't have nuclear technology.
- 49:03We don't have nuclear bombs." Right? You
- 49:06can't you can't undo it.
- 49:09So it's the same thing like we have
- 49:13figured out a way for these large
- 49:15language models to think. We know how to
- 49:17train them to think. Okay. And now they
- 49:21know how to train other future models.
- 49:24You could turn a blind eye to it and say
- 49:26we're just going to stop.
- 49:28We're just not going advance anymore
- 49:30because we're afraid which is what most
- 49:32people think we should do. But
- 49:35unfortunately technology is out of the
- 49:36bag already.
- 49:39There's other companies in other
- 49:40countries of the world
- 49:43that's working on it and they're not
- 49:45going to stop.
- 49:47So that's the problem. If the other
- 49:49country is not going to stop, then you
- 49:51can't stop either and you just have to
- 49:52win the war. And you hope that the
- 49:54person that wins the war or the company
- 49:56that wins the war is ethical and moral
- 49:59and doesn't have some
- 50:03nefarious agenda, right? That's the only
- 50:05thing you could hope for. So maybe you
- 50:07can have good regulations, good
- 50:09oversight, whatever. You don't want to
- 50:11stop, but you want to make sure that the
- 50:13people leading are good people,
- 50:16right? Um
- 50:19otherwise, you let I don't know, let's
- 50:22say you let North Korea win the AI race,
- 50:25it's game over for a world.
- 50:28It would be game over. That would be the
- 50:29worst case scenario. they'll figure out
- 50:32how to hack everyone's nuclear codes and
- 50:34just blow up all the nukes around the
- 50:35world and win. Um,
- 50:38yeah. So, you don't want that situation.
- 50:45I guarantee you every field every field
- 50:48in
- 50:51in every field, I don't know how you say
- 50:53it better, every field out there that is
- 50:55trying to improve.
- 50:57Someone asked about nuclear fision like
- 51:00energy.
- 51:02Okay. Certainly money, medical,
- 51:07military,
- 51:09like every single field out there,
- 51:13you have these companies or agencies
- 51:16that are running thousands and thousands
- 51:18of agents trying to improve or solve a
- 51:21problem. It's guaranteed that's already
- 51:24happening and there will be more of that
- 51:27going forward. Like the rate of
- 51:29advancement have gone up a thousandfold
- 51:32now. I think we're going to see some
- 51:34beautiful things. People that don't
- 51:36really care about any of this stuff. I
- 51:38think in the next five years, you're
- 51:39going to see such a huge advancement
- 51:41with medical, with new drugs or shots or
- 51:46whatever that solve all these things
- 51:49that have been lingering forever.
- 51:51anti-aging and anti-cancer vaccines and
- 51:56all these things are will come out and
- 51:58basically make everyone live to 200
- 52:01years.
- 52:02So that that's probably going to be the
- 52:04first major breakthrough that people
- 52:06see. We're going to have all these
- 52:07things. People that have Alzheimer's get
- 52:11get cured. people that have, you know,
- 52:14blindness or whatever or some kind of
- 52:17rare disease or
- 52:20kidney failures go away and all these
- 52:23things get cured. I think in the next
- 52:25five years, you're going to hear a lot
- 52:27more of that.
- 52:36But here's the truth. Like I think the
- 52:39next 10 year, five, 10 years see a lot
- 52:40of that. and everyone starts living
- 52:42forever. But here's the thing.
- 52:46Do you really want to live forever where
- 52:48you have to work for 150 years? You
- 52:51know, retirement age goes from 70, 80 to
- 52:56150, 160.
- 52:59So, doesn't mean that you're just going
- 53:02to be a lot better. You'll live longer,
- 53:05but the the quality of life will be
- 53:07better, but you're still have to figure
- 53:09out how to make money and and live for
- 53:12another lifetime, basically.
- 53:21All right, that's pretty much it. All
- 53:24right, guys. Have a good Friday. Rambled
- 53:26on too long today. We'll go back to
- 53:28work.
- 53:30Crypto is not recovering today but uh
- 53:34but some tech stocks are. You know when
- 53:37we go through these periods where there
- 53:39are large large major corrections things
- 53:42will get better. Don't try to outsmart
- 53:46the market. Don't try to panic dump
- 53:50while everyone else is doing it. Hold
- 53:53DCA right strategy. You guys get it. So
- 53:57hang in there. All right, guys. Have a
- 54:00good one. Smash a like. Subscribe to the
- 54:02channel. Take care.
