Bitcoin's iPhone Moment Will Trigger Wall Street FOMO — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00We are at the same point as when the
- 0:01iPhone came out for crypto. The change
- 0:03was that the iPhone came out to allow
- 0:06Uber. For crypto, it's obvious. It's the
- 0:09agents. It's plain and simple, the
- 0:11agents. So, the fact that to me, the
- 0:13ghost city analogy for Ghost Rails is
- 0:17about you build all this infrastructure,
- 0:19you build Ethereum, you build Bitcoin,
- 0:21you develop this whole thing, people
- 0:22know where it is. It needs time to
- 0:25survive the test of [music] time. It
- 0:26needs people looking at it and then it
- 0:28can take off. What's going on guys?
- 0:30Today we got a great conversation with
- 0:31Jordi Visser. In this conversation, we
- 0:33talk about what's going on with consumer
- 0:34AI agents. How is it affecting financial
- 0:36markets? Why are there certain stocks
- 0:38that everyone's excited about? But
- 0:39Jord's got some data that says that
- 0:41they're actually under a lot of
- 0:41pressure. Bitcoin broke out
- 0:43consolidating. Is it going to go up? Is
- 0:45it going to go down? Are we in a Bitcoin
- 0:46bull market? And where else is value
- 0:48going to acrew in your portfolio? What
- 0:50are the assets you don't own that Jordy
- 0:52thinks you should? All that much more in
- 0:54this conversation with Jordy Visser. All
- 0:56right, Jordy. Uh, crypto has done a very
- 0:58good job of hanging in there all week
- 1:00long, even though a number of other
- 1:01things have come under pressure. Why do
- 1:02you think crypto is trading so well?
- 1:04>> When did we last see each other?
- 1:07>> Couple days ago, a Tuesday. We We did a
- 1:09drive by high five.
- 1:10>> I walk into an event not [clears throat]
- 1:12knowing you're there. I thought we were
- 1:13friends. We do this. [laughter]
- 1:16>> We walk through a turn style the other
- 1:18way. See you. Oh, see you. How you
- 1:19>> The difference between you and I is you
- 1:21went for multiple days. See? Uh,
- 1:23[laughter] young Paraguan. Listen, I'm a
- 1:25expert at this. I took my train down to
- 1:27DC, did my 15-minute talk and got right
- 1:29back on the train and came back. You
- 1:30stayed.
- 1:31>> I stayed and had the best time. And for
- 1:32the people who know that I had a great
- 1:34time, you know who you are. I had a
- 1:36great time. Um, okay. So, whenever you
- 1:40The great thing about technical
- 1:41analysis, we talked a lot about the
- 1:44importance of the original break uh in
- 1:47Bitcoin from the low60s up. But what was
- 1:51important was the negative news that was
- 1:53happening in the time before. Mhm.
- 1:56>> Clarity goes down to close to 0%. Uh Fed
- 1:59rate hikes are going through the roof in
- 2:01terms of expectations and at the same
- 2:03time you have the cold wallet incident
- 2:05and yet Bitcoin stayed at like 60 to 65.
- 2:08And so the second that anything good
- 2:11happens. Oh, Bessant intervenes in the
- 2:14yen and then we get all this debasement
- 2:17stuff and it breaks out but it stays
- 2:19under the important levels of kind of
- 2:21the highs from the prior 6 months which
- 2:23were right around 82. So now we gap up
- 2:25again. So the question is when you're
- 2:27doing these in technical analysis where
- 2:29first you handle bad news. You go up
- 2:31what happened when we broke out last
- 2:33week? The Fed raised rates 10ear rates
- 2:36are going higher. Equities are you know
- 2:38breath is breaking down in the market
- 2:40and yet we still found a way to go
- 2:42higher again. So I believe based on the
- 2:46inbound traffic I'm getting from
- 2:49everybody. everyone but people that
- 2:51manage trillions of dollars. So not the
- 2:55analysts who work for him, the people
- 2:57who manage trillions of dollars
- 3:00asking me to talk about the paper I
- 3:02wrote two months ago to explain why the
- 3:05paper I wrote on tokenization will
- 3:07change the world, what that means. So I
- 3:09think we've entered a point where you
- 3:10have to realize that
- 3:12people are starting to ask questions
- 3:14about it. Part of this is because of the
- 3:17events that have occurred with consumer
- 3:19agents and things where I've connected
- 3:20the dots, but part of this is also what
- 3:23happened last year. And I think there's
- 3:24PTSD. People missed Micron. They missed
- 3:29the semiconductor trade. And so I think
- 3:31what's starting to happen here is they
- 3:34know crypto is not dead, meaning they
- 3:36kind of waved it off. So people that
- 3:38manage lots of money that need to
- 3:40produce alpha, this is not a greed
- 3:42thing. I think there's FOMO starting to
- 3:43set in. You think that there's FOMO
- 3:45coming from Wall Street on the crypto
- 3:47trade?
- 3:47>> There's no doubt in my mind. Now, I said
- 3:49on this show that I believe that 2027
- 3:51would be the important year. And the
- 3:53reason is this. You need to have FOMO
- 3:55first because we're nearing the end of
- 3:58the calendar year. And I'm spending a
- 4:00lot of time like I did in DC about
- 4:02machine time versus human time. Human
- 4:05time moves really slow. Crypto doesn't
- 4:08move slow. It moves very fast. AI
- 4:10doesn't move slow. It moves very fast.
- 4:12Oh, rates are going higher. or this is
- 4:13going to hurt the housing market. This
- 4:15is going to hurt small caps. I posted
- 4:17something on X today. So, let me get
- 4:18this straight. The Mag 7 are near
- 4:20all-time high and the Russell 2000 is
- 4:24breaking down, which means breath is
- 4:25breaking down. And if you do a chart for
- 4:27all of you breath fearmongers now of the
- 4:30market, you'll realize that, oh, QQQ
- 4:34over
- 4:35IWM has been a trade since the iPhone
- 4:37came into existence. If you're not part
- 4:40of the digital economy, you're
- 4:41suffering. So I think there's an element
- 4:44that crypto now has a fundamental use.
- 4:47It has public companies which means they
- 4:49can do a little bit of investing.
- 4:50They're not going into the tokens but
- 4:52they are looking. But I think the fact
- 4:54that you and I talk about all the time
- 4:55and we have a lot of different
- 4:56listeners. I write about the
- 4:58relationship. I set up a business based
- 5:00on the importance of AI to crypto
- 5:02disrupting macro. I think FOMO is
- 5:05kicking in because they're trying to
- 5:06figure out ways to make money because
- 5:07it's been kind of a frustrating year for
- 5:09Alpha. And I'm just going to give you
- 5:11one example because I can tell by people
- 5:13reaching out on on me on things like
- 5:16Visa and Mastercard. So Visa and
- 5:18Mastercard are your classic examples of
- 5:20things that oh crypto is not going to
- 5:22disrupt them. And I'm just like of
- 5:24course it will. Like I don't even know
- 5:26how you could argue they're going to
- 5:27benefit maybe initially but not in 5
- 5:31years.
- 5:32>> Why?
- 5:34We're entering a deflationary period
- 5:36that people just do not understand.
- 5:38Deflation, not inflation. Deflation. You
- 5:40and I agree on that. The deflationary
- 5:42pressures that come from AI are intense.
- 5:44It's just a matter of how long it takes
- 5:46for it to filter through.
- 5:49But where it's really going to filter
- 5:50through is when people are having
- 5:52agents, an agent's job is to find their
- 5:55airline ticket for the cheapest price
- 5:57that satisfies to book a travel thing
- 6:00where they're stripping out the
- 6:01middlemen as much as possible. Visa and
- 6:04Mastercard by definition are middlemen.
- 6:06So when people argue with me on this,
- 6:08they go, "Well, no, no, they you need
- 6:09this for this. They're going to
- 6:10benefit." Blah, blah, blah. I'm like,
- 6:11"Yeah, just like Salesforce.com, you see
- 6:13Salesforce.com lately, it's up big. It's
- 6:15down 10% this year. S&P's up 12. So it's
- 6:20underperformed by 22%. Semiconductors,
- 6:22my thematic portfolio is up 45%.
- 6:25Salesforce down here. Even the Mag 7,
- 6:28they're up 10%. They've underperformed.
- 6:30I think people are making a mistake on
- 6:32Vis and Mastercard. They're not going
- 6:33out of business. But at some point, you
- 6:35have to recognize that terminal value
- 6:37matters again. And crypto and
- 6:40tokenization are going to change the
- 6:43world because it unleashes a lot of them
- 6:46too because wealth becomes money. I
- 6:47wrote about that this week. It's on
- 6:49Substack. But on the other side, it
- 6:51brings an enormous amount of
- 6:52entrepreneurs that you can invest in
- 6:54because they're going to have tokens. Is
- 6:56it going to be this year? No. But it'll
- 6:57be in five years. So where Visa and
- 6:58Mastercard go, it's not about them going
- 7:00out of business. It's about in five
- 7:02years, will people still be paying a
- 7:04vig? Agents won't. Agents don't pay
- 7:07vigs. Agents figure out how. So people
- 7:09tell me consumer behavior, they know
- 7:11consumer behavior. I'm sorry, but you
- 7:14don't know agent behavior. Agent
- 7:16behavior is all about the goals. And the
- 7:17goals are find things fast and cheap.
- 7:20>> In the last bull market, there was a lot
- 7:23of institutions that they started to dip
- 7:26their toes. and dipping toes because
- 7:29they're so big felt really big to the
- 7:31crypto industry. So if you have, you
- 7:33know, hundred billion dollars of assets
- 7:35and you take 1%, it's a billion dollars.
- 7:37In the crypto world, there was almost no
- 7:39funds that had a billion dollars. And so
- 7:41[clears throat] all of a sudden
- 7:42quotequote smart money or the big guys
- 7:44show up and they're wow, they put a
- 7:45billion dollars.
- 7:46>> To them, it was like uh let's see what
- 7:49happens here. You know, it's a 1%
- 7:50allocation.
- 7:52I do feel like Wall Street, they're
- 7:54ready for the fat pitch now. They last
- 7:57cycle dipped their toe. They know what
- 7:59this thing can do when it's going in the
- 8:01right direction. They understand it's
- 8:03super volatile. They're glad they just
- 8:05dipped their toes and they didn't go all
- 8:06in cuz they saw the volatility. But your
- 8:09point about FOMO, it's like uh three
- 8:13balls, two strikes, bottom of the ninth,
- 8:16and you know the pitcher's going to
- 8:17throw a fast ball and they're just
- 8:19waiting. And I don't know when you
- 8:21probably understand better than me like
- 8:22what are the trigger that's going to let
- 8:23them you know just swing but this time
- 8:26it's not you know a billion it's 10 20
- 8:2930 billion [clears throat] per firm it's
- 8:32bitcoin other cryptos tokenization like
- 8:35now they are ready to play this whole
- 8:37thing and some of it is they have more
- 8:38options now they couldn't just go buy
- 8:40you know bitcoin before so they had to
- 8:42wait for the ETFs y
- 8:43>> but also how many public companies are
- 8:45there now that give them some degree of
- 8:46exposure to individual cryptos or
- 8:48tokenization or even you know crypto
- 8:51being used or blockchains being used in
- 8:52certain verticals like the addressable
- 8:55you know uh market of what they can
- 8:57invest in has grown so much as well that
- 8:59they actually can put more money to work
- 9:00at the same time.
- 9:02So, let's talk about um what you just
- 9:05said and and let's go a fat pitch. Let's
- 9:07go back to 2122 when they they stubbed
- 9:10their toe, okay?
- 9:12>> They bought at the highs, they jumped
- 9:14into NFTts, they jumped into FTX, they
- 9:17jumped into a whole bunch of things and
- 9:18it seemed like an obvious situation.
- 9:20Now, the reality is behind closed doors,
- 9:23the VC world was pumping an enormous
- 9:25amount of money into SAS businesses and
- 9:27into crypto. Co is just over. We're in a
- 9:30raging bull market. I've said this
- 9:32before, I'll say it again. For crypto,
- 9:35that was the.com bubble. Like,
- 9:37everyone's looking for the.com bubble in
- 9:39AI. That was the dot bubble for crypto.
- 9:41It wasn't debt, [snorts]
- 9:43but it was VC money that came in. Well,
- 9:46a lot of these rails, they don't need VC
- 9:48money now. So, with AI, the whole world
- 9:51is changing. And this is part of my
- 9:52thing. You don't need to hire people and
- 9:54you get to use digital agents and go
- 9:56through it. The thing that saved.com
- 9:59bubble companies is in 2007 there was a
- 10:02change that was able to use those rails.
- 10:05And I keep saying this over and over
- 10:07again. We were at the same point as when
- 10:09the iPhone came out for crypto. The
- 10:11change was that the iPhone came out to
- 10:14allow Uber. I'll joke about this all the
- 10:17time, but you can't take a laptop up and
- 10:19be ordering a car outside. You need
- 10:21Wi-Fi, cellular. You needed a smartphone
- 10:24to be able to have Uber work.
- 10:27>> Well, GPS in the phone was probably the
- 10:29most important part. Yeah.
- 10:30>> Yeah. You you you couldn't do it. So, we
- 10:32needed an app store.
- 10:34For crypto, it's obvious. It's the
- 10:37agents. It's plain and simple, the
- 10:39agents. So the fact that to me I've been
- 10:42talking about this for a while that the
- 10:44ghost city analogy for ghost rails is
- 10:48about you build all this infrastructure,
- 10:50you build Ethereum, you build Bitcoin,
- 10:52you develop this whole thing. People
- 10:54know where it is. It needs time to
- 10:56survive the test of time. It needs
- 10:58people looking at it and then it can
- 10:59take off. Peter Lynch wrote a book that
- 11:01he's still famous for which is all about
- 11:04oneupping Wall Street. The beauty of
- 11:07this is
- 11:10Wall Street doesn't cover tokens and
- 11:12crypto. They're starting to get involved
- 11:15in the rails, but they don't cover
- 11:17individual tokens. So, if you're at a
- 11:20big mutual fund or a big pension fund,
- 11:22you're like, you know what I'd really
- 11:23like to see? Hey, can you get me the
- 11:24Morgan Stanley research on on crypto
- 11:26tokens? Doesn't exist. So, before when
- 11:29you're in
- 11:29>> TV research exists,
- 11:31>> yes. Yes. I I And again,
- 11:32>> Mr. Research exists.
- 11:33>> It's live now. It's live. It went out
- 11:35this week. And now every week I'll be
- 11:37going through the vertical. So yes, that
- 11:38was what I planned. My business was
- 11:40about the fact that Peter Lynch's
- 11:42philosophy was the best way to make
- 11:44money is to be early on something, but
- 11:46the only way to be early on something is
- 11:47to know that the money is not invested
- 11:49in the thing that you're early on and
- 11:50Wall Street doesn't cover it. That was
- 11:52his whole theory that was one uping Wall
- 11:54Street. Well, that's where I believe we
- 11:56are in crypto. So for all the people
- 11:58have committed their time where they
- 11:59understand every token that I put in my
- 12:0246th name index, they already know what
- 12:04they are. you have a huge advantage and
- 12:06the money is enormous on the other side
- 12:09because the beauty of the crypto
- 12:10guardrails are the valuation is still $4
- 12:13trillion compared to 900 trillion of
- 12:15asset and all of those assets are going
- 12:16to be tokenized and be on chain. Is it
- 12:18going to happen tomorrow? No. But you
- 12:20don't invest in things based on today.
- 12:23You based on their growth. If you come
- 12:25up with a great idea like Starbucks and
- 12:27you have one store, you know how they
- 12:28start to really get excited when you go
- 12:29to two stores, three stores, four
- 12:31stores. It's about growth at a very low
- 12:33level. Everyone that screwed up the
- 12:35token trade. I wrote a paper on
- 12:37inference. We talked about Micron almost
- 12:39all of last year.
- 12:42The smartest people missed it. And they
- 12:44missed it because they didn't understand
- 12:46compute. This trade is still the same.
- 12:49You want to be long compute speed. You
- 12:52want to be long crypto speed. You want
- 12:54to be short everything that has
- 12:56friction. My presentation in DC was
- 12:58about being long speed, short friction.
- 13:00I was saying it to politicians. Ultimate
- 13:02friction.
- 13:03Why are senior people leaving Google?
- 13:06Why hasn't Google been able to do what
- 13:08Anthropic and OpenAI did? Why aren't
- 13:10people asking that question that the
- 13:11best AI models are not at companies
- 13:14worth with the biggest balance sheets?
- 13:16Anthropic went from 3 billion in
- 13:19revenues to where it is today. Let's say
- 13:2180. In the same amount of time, as I
- 13:23said on stage, the Clarity Act went from
- 13:25an idea to rejection. In the same amount
- 13:27of time that Anthropic went up, you want
- 13:29to be short friction. You want to be
- 13:31long speed. And we're at that point now
- 13:33where that is starting to play out. And
- 13:34I think crypto guardrails and the whole
- 13:36crypto system, you're going to have a
- 13:37lot of people knocking on your doors and
- 13:39this is going to be money that's coming
- 13:40in. The problem is they don't have
- 13:42access to it because these funds can't
- 13:44invest in
- 13:46these tokens at this point. That'll all
- 13:49change over time, but what they can
- 13:50invest in is Ethereum and Bitcoin and
- 13:53then all of the stocks that are there. I
- 13:56think you're going to see an evolution
- 13:57that's going to change next year.
- 13:58>> Today's episode is brought to you by
- 14:00Arch Public. Arch public has just
- 14:01expanded its agentic trading platform
- 14:03beyond crypto. So pay attention. This is
- 14:05a big one. Now they are automating
- 14:07strategies across stocks, commodities,
- 14:09and ETFs. And I think that this is going
- 14:11to be huge. You can now automatically
- 14:13take profits when one market hits new
- 14:14all-time highs and rotate that capital
- 14:16into other markets showing more
- 14:18opportunity. Whether you're rotating
- 14:20capital into AI stocks, gold, if you're
- 14:22investing in the S&P 500, or you're
- 14:23accumulating Bitcoin, Arch Public brings
- 14:25real discipline and automation to your
- 14:27investment strategy. Additionally,
- 14:29they've launched a powerful new tax loss
- 14:31harvesting tool. With crypto being so
- 14:32volatile and its exemption from the wash
- 14:35sale rule, Arch Public can offset gains
- 14:37with losses without compromising your
- 14:39long-term positions. It's exactly what
- 14:41every serious investor does.
- 14:43Institutional grade automation that
- 14:44works across every major asset class.
- 14:46[music] There's no more emotional
- 14:47trading, no more missing tax
- 14:48opportunities, just smarter, hands-free
- 14:51execution of your preferred strategies.
- 14:53Go to archpub.com
- 14:55right now. Connect with their team. Set
- 14:57up a time. Bring your accountant if
- 14:58you'd like. Then you can learn what
- 15:00automated trading can do for you.
- 15:02archpub.com.
- 15:03This whole idea of uh the AI agents, the
- 15:07uh ability to use this technology, how
- 15:08it goes faster, etc. I think a lot of
- 15:10folks have focused on the intelligence
- 15:12for raffle reasons is, you know, is it a
- 15:14130, 140, 150 IQ? How do I get as much
- 15:17of that as possible by going long
- 15:19compute? Uh the more people that use the
- 15:21intelligence, obviously, the more
- 15:22productive they should become. All that
- 15:24kind of stuff. But one aspect I don't
- 15:26hear a lot of people talk about which I
- 15:28catch myself now I try to be very
- 15:29conscious of my consumer behaviors
- 15:32its memory is better than me now and I
- 15:36find myself telling various agents
- 15:40remind me tomorrow to do something at
- 15:42this time put this in your memory and
- 15:45don't forget it make sure that whenever
- 15:47you do this task you always remember to
- 15:49do xyz and it hit me if this thing is
- 15:54smarter than us and it has better memory
- 15:56than us. What can it not do? like you
- 15:59are going to just turn over all of this
- 16:02stuff to it and everyone wants to talk
- 16:04about intelligence but the memory
- 16:06component when you start talking about
- 16:08finance start talking about financial
- 16:09data that feels like a huge piece of
- 16:12this is whenever you talk to someone
- 16:14smart in finance what do they know they
- 16:15know history they could tell you
- 16:16different cycles they could tell you
- 16:18different you know a catalyst they could
- 16:19tell you things that triggered sell-offs
- 16:22all of the stuff and you're like wow
- 16:22this person's really smart they
- 16:23understand all this they are no match
- 16:26for the memory of a financial agent
- 16:29So th [clears throat] this is where we
- 16:31start going from the reality of the
- 16:33importance of enterprise agents and what
- 16:34we just went through the last year to
- 16:36consumer agents.
- 16:38So let's separate memory into two
- 16:40[clears throat] components. I ask chat
- 16:43GPT uh about how to fix something in my
- 16:47house. I ask it about some random thing
- 16:50that happens. Those are things I don't
- 16:53care about a memory of. And that's
- 16:55pretty much what you dominate a chatbot
- 16:57with with Muse and for you Instinct.
- 17:02I use it for everything memory wise. So
- 17:05like if I'm on a trip now, I can just
- 17:07take a photo, upload it into Muse. Don't
- 17:08have to say anything. I just have to go
- 17:10back at some point and go, "Hey, just
- 17:12take everything that I did on that trip,
- 17:14all the receipts, and put it into a uh
- 17:16into something for my company, for my
- 17:19accountant." It's there. It has the
- 17:21memory of everything. Hey, I booked a
- 17:23trip to so- and so. Can you send me the
- 17:25details of my trip to LA? And I just did
- 17:26this with it this morning. It sends me
- 17:29everything that I booked during the
- 17:31time, the meetings I have, where I'm
- 17:32staying, the whole thing. It asks me if
- 17:34it wants me to put it any place. The me
- 17:37the personal memory, the Jarvis, you
- 17:40know, from Iron Man, it exists now. And
- 17:43so those memories are really important,
- 17:45but those only come with a consumer
- 17:46agent where you're actually giving them
- 17:48access to everything. So, I don't I just
- 17:51don't think people have until they use a
- 17:54consumer agent, they don't realize what
- 17:55just happened. Now, to get back to your
- 17:57IQ point last week, [snorts] I talked
- 17:59about the point in situational awareness
- 18:03on page 71 where it goes parabolic. So
- 18:06when you watch your children grow up,
- 18:09like your kids are young,
- 18:12>> their IQ is not real high at this point
- 18:14in terms of
- 18:15>> I know [laughter]
- 18:17>> my my son still is got a hard time
- 18:19sometimes slowing himself down. So he
- 18:21just runs into the wall as the stopping
- 18:22point.
- 18:23>> And you told me he would try to be
- 18:24Superman. Like literally tried to be see
- 18:25if see if he was Superman. Okay.
- 18:27>> Oh, he Yeah.
- 18:28>> Yeah. And it didn't work. Okay.
- 18:29>> A nice scar on his face for a while.
- 18:30[laughter]
- 18:31>> So here here's the thing. At some point
- 18:35the intelligence gets to the point where
- 18:37the kids are really smart and they're
- 18:39smarter than you, but it takes
- 18:40>> where we're starting from. There's
- 18:41there's only [laughter] up to
- 18:43>> but no matter what it's it's a
- 18:45progression and it keeps going with the
- 18:47AI models reaching the point so much has
- 18:49happened in the last 3 months, two and a
- 18:52half months. And I'm going to say two
- 18:54and a half and I'm going to uh preview
- 18:56something that I'm going to do in my
- 18:57video this weekend. I [snorts] think
- 18:59what doesn't get talked about enough
- 19:00with Muse
- 19:03Meadow was left for dead in June and on
- 19:07July 2nd it he had a town hall meeting
- 19:11or there was a report of a town hall
- 19:13meeting. Do you remember this?
- 19:14>> Yeah.
- 19:14>> And and he said the progress on what we
- 19:18found out later it said AI and like all
- 19:19the media but it was really their
- 19:21internal work on agents was not going at
- 19:23the pace they expected.
- 19:25>> How do you go from that point to Muse in
- 19:29two months?
- 19:29>> You want me to tell you how? I'll give
- 19:31you tell me how and then I'll tell you
- 19:32the facts.
- 19:33>> I heard that uh he moved his desk over
- 19:37to the Meta AI team and he sat there and
- 19:41I've seen him do it before. You know, he
- 19:42just wore rooms, all stuff, whatever.
- 19:44>> How do you, if you're on that team, not
- 19:46figure it out when the big boss says,
- 19:49"Hey, this is important."
- 19:50>> It was from applying pressure. Okay.
- 19:51Yeah. What do you think?
- 19:53>> Well, I'm going to show exactly what
- 19:55happened. Now, when I say exactly, I
- 19:57just want to make sure people know if
- 19:58you haven't done this before.
- 20:02Ask your LLM to say, "Hey, I want to
- 20:05figure out how we could go from this
- 20:07point to this point, and I want you to
- 20:10go through every public
- 20:13announcement by any employee that worked
- 20:16in that group there, whether it's a in
- 20:18Reddit, wherever it is." And then it
- 20:21puts together a timeline of the changes.
- 20:22A week after that news story came out,
- 20:25there was a breakthrough. So the reason
- 20:28this is important is whatever caused it,
- 20:32they started releasing new versions of
- 20:35Muse
- 20:36>> consistently just like Anthropic does.
- 20:38Like you could see they were making
- 20:40progress cuz each one they were cuz they
- 20:42were under pressure. This [snorts] is
- 20:43the reason why with this consumer agent
- 20:45point with Instinct and with Meta, you
- 20:48don't think OpenAI is now racing to get
- 20:50their agent out because they don't want
- 20:51to lose the eyeball battle.
- 20:53>> So right now Meta has this advantage,
- 20:56but we're going to start getting
- 20:58consumer
- 20:59consumer agent releases, personal
- 21:01assistance from everyone now.
- 21:02>> And so so what does a user do? Do they
- 21:04adopt all of them? Do they just pick one
- 21:06they like? How do they navigate this uh
- 21:08onslaught of everyone wants them to use
- 21:10their agent? This is where I I'm already
- 21:14locked into Muse. I It's I I my own
- 21:17experience is unlike an LLM, I've always
- 21:21used Chat GPT the most except for one
- 21:23little window when Claude Code went
- 21:25through it, but then I went right back
- 21:26to Chat GPT
- 21:28and I'm still I I like Astra better than
- 21:32than than But then again, we had two new
- 21:34releases this week. Opus 5.5 is just
- 21:36ridiculous. Um, but Muse, it's locked in
- 21:39because it has all my information now
- 21:41and it's doing all this work. It's
- 21:42connected to my emails. It's doing
- 21:44everything I want and I'm getting used
- 21:45to it and it's very hard for me to see
- 21:47that I would change it cuz I haven't run
- 21:49into anything yet where it made a
- 21:50mistake or did something wrong. It's
- 21:52really, really amazing. The reason I
- 21:54bring it up is as you're going through
- 21:56this thing and you're thinking about the
- 21:57importance of agents, you have to get
- 21:59back to the situational awareness thing.
- 22:01We're at a point where so much
- 22:04incredible stuff is happening and the
- 22:06media focuses on oh my god there was a
- 22:09hacking but at the same time we're
- 22:11making advancements with Navier Stokes
- 22:13and then Anthropic comes out with
- 22:15something on crisper.
- 22:18If you go through X, you'll get 50% of
- 22:20biologists and people saying, "This is
- 22:22BS. They're just releasing this for the
- 22:24IPO." And then I'm going, "Well, the
- 22:26only one I care about is the guy who is
- 22:29in Code Breaker,
- 22:32>> who is from MIT, who's one of the two
- 22:35renowned people in Crisper that said,
- 22:37"This is amazing. This is a
- 22:39breakthrough." Like, you're never going
- 22:41to get anything where it's signal. It's
- 22:43always going to be noise. There's always
- 22:45going to be half the population says
- 22:46it's not there. And that's just human
- 22:48beings. But where is no doubt that for
- 22:50the next 12 months, if you want to make
- 22:52money, you're going to have to make it
- 22:54on compute and on the guard rails for
- 22:57these agents because how many deals did
- 22:59Muse do this week with Shopify,
- 23:00Instacart, like it's just growing.
- 23:02PayPal, everything is happening. So, I
- 23:04think this is the critical point where
- 23:06the IQ has reached a level where we're
- 23:08at recursive self-improvement and every
- 23:10month is going to be another month of
- 23:11just advancements.
- 23:14>> What happens when Muse gets blocked by
- 23:16Amazon? which I think just happened and
- 23:19you want to use one. It has all your
- 23:22information, but a very key use case for
- 23:26that agent gets cut off, not because
- 23:28they made a mistake or anything, but
- 23:29because a competitor is trying to
- 23:32introduce that friction, reduce speed.
- 23:34>> Mh.
- 23:35>> Do you then have to go and adopt
- 23:36Amazon's agent? Or do you think it's a
- 23:39world where your Muse agent will then
- 23:41talk to an Amazon agent and that
- 23:44communication would be the same thing as
- 23:45you as a human going to the website, but
- 23:47now they're just going to create their
- 23:48own agent and agent to agent
- 23:49communication. I again I I think the
- 23:52issue is going to come you can't stop
- 23:55this like I I think when um Android came
- 23:58out verse Apple and you're trying to
- 24:02figure out can you use Uber on Android
- 24:05eventually or could I mean I think the
- 24:07friction they'll try to do whatever they
- 24:08can I think Amazon and they're all
- 24:10competing but in the end I don't see how
- 24:12to go will instinct be allowed to use
- 24:15all of them I mean I I I just don't see
- 24:18if Amazon wants to lose business because
- 24:20everyone's on Muse and everyone starts
- 24:22using Shopify or starts using Instacart
- 24:25instead of Amazon, then it'll just drive
- 24:29markets other places. So, it's not that
- 24:31they're going to end these things. I
- 24:32think in the end, uh they've got
- 24:34shareholders and if they take a
- 24:35decision, then it's like, okay, we're
- 24:36going to we're going to enter our own
- 24:38one and because we have the Amazon
- 24:40world, we're going to dominate. And then
- 24:42you've got Apple and Apple's going to
- 24:44have Siri. They're all I mean, this is
- 24:46going to be like a growing uh agentic
- 24:48side. I just don't see how they can
- 24:50block things off because then they're
- 24:52choosing silos and they're limiting the
- 24:54ability of controlling a lot of it and I
- 24:57just don't see how this is going to be
- 24:58anything more than the initial days and
- 25:00how they're dealing with this. I think
- 25:01in the end it's just going to be divvied
- 25:04up.
- 25:05>> It's fascinating to think about Black
- 25:07Rockck. They came out with a paper this
- 25:08week talking about AI and um crypto.
- 25:12Thank you for listening to the podcast
- 25:13the last [laughter] six months. Um I I
- 25:16thought that it was fantastically uh
- 25:17written or very well done. Um
- 25:20>> I would say 90% of it is very similar
- 25:22things that you've been talking about.
- 25:24Uh there is 10 or 15% though in there
- 25:26that I think they kind of have different
- 25:27viewpoints and some of it maybe because
- 25:29they're coming from more of a financial
- 25:30mindset and a traditional finance. Um
- 25:32but what I think people look back on the
- 25:35Bitcoin ETFs, the ETF was important, but
- 25:38the ETF really only happened once Uncle
- 25:41Larry said, "I'm ready to do an ETF."
- 25:43And then somehow it all got approved.
- 25:46>> Black Rockck writing the paper, there's
- 25:48a lot of papers that have been written
- 25:49about Bitcoin or crypto and AI.
- 25:51>> Y,
- 25:52>> but Black Rockck writing it again kind
- 25:54of is like, oh, okay, the adults in the
- 25:56room also agree now. Now it is for real.
- 25:59It feels like a contrarian viewpoint
- 26:01that just literally with the release of
- 26:03one paper goes from contrarian to
- 26:05consensus. Do you agree?
- 26:07>> Um, yeah. I think there was a targeted
- 26:09reason for the release though too based
- 26:11on the fact that in the same week they
- 26:12also put three funds on chain. So
- 26:16>> Oh, they have an agenda.
- 26:18>> Yeah. Well, yeah, an agenda is the
- 26:20right. They have a business and I think
- 26:21they're selling what they're doing and
- 26:23they're ahead of
- 26:24>> the banks. Yeah.
- 26:25>> So, uh they're trying to stay ahead on
- 26:28this just like Amazon's trying to not
- 26:30fall behind to Meta and Open AI. I mean,
- 26:33at the end of the day, the speed of
- 26:34change is going so rapidly and inside
- 26:37these walls, you have a lot to lose. So,
- 26:39on the flip side, when whenever I use
- 26:41Michael Sailor's line of [snorts] you
- 26:44don't find Bitcoin, Bitcoin finds you,
- 26:45which is a reference to the fact that
- 26:47until you actually need Bitcoin, you're
- 26:49not going to care. I think the same
- 26:52thing happens with AI. I think every
- 26:54time something happens in artificial
- 26:56intelligence, there's a fear of the SAS
- 26:58apocalypse in in in your name or
- 27:00whatever. And we see this time and time
- 27:01again where something will fall 30, 40,
- 27:0350%. A lot of the software names have
- 27:05not come back. And like I said with
- 27:07Salesforce, Salesforce has bounced, but
- 27:09it's still down 10% year-to- date and
- 27:11it's down 15% over the last 5 years. Um,
- 27:14is that good? That's that's not
- 27:16something you want to invest in. Um, and
- 27:19again, Bitcoin is down significantly
- 27:21from the highs. So, you can make the
- 27:22argument if you just pick this cherry
- 27:24pick this this point of time. Um, I I I
- 27:27think this is going to be a
- 27:28disruptionfilled point and I think
- 27:30everyone's trying to get the jump on
- 27:31anyone. BlackRock has a huge advantage
- 27:33as some place that people trust from a
- 27:37asset manager perspective that has
- 27:39already made this big commitment to
- 27:43crypto, but they don't. I mean,
- 27:45Fidelity's there, Franklin Templeton's
- 27:47there. It's not like they're the only
- 27:49ones. Uh I think the entire side is
- 27:51trying to drive the Morgan Stanley's,
- 27:54the Bank Americans, the Goldman Sachs to
- 27:55make sure that they're focused on it and
- 27:57they didn't really get focused on it
- 27:58honestly until what the last year maybe
- 28:00the last it's been this year that they
- 28:03were kind of forced into it. So there is
- 28:05a fear of missing out and that's the
- 28:07other part of the FOMO when you really
- 28:08look and you don't think about the
- 28:10charts or you don't think about anything
- 28:11like what's happened this year in
- 28:13crypto.
- 28:16A lot's gone on. I know people don't
- 28:18like the word crypto. It's amazing to
- 28:19me. I like I like provoking uh anger in
- 28:22people. They were digital assets.
- 28:25I was talking to someone yesterday who
- 28:27you had on who you connected us with who
- 28:29I brought up NFTTS like what's a bad
- 28:31word. Yeah, I get it. What do you want
- 28:33to call it? I was like digital assets.
- 28:35Everything's a digital asset now. It's
- 28:36acceptable. So, I think the whole
- 28:38industry is in a chase mode and I just
- 28:39think Black Rockck has the biggest
- 28:41audience and the easiest time to do this
- 28:43stuff. Today's episode is brought to you
- 28:45by Galaxy 1. A lot of people got their
- 28:47money working for them, but the question
- 28:49now, how hard is it working? Well, the
- 28:51folks over at Galaxy 1, they're taking a
- 28:53very different approach. [music]
- 28:54Everyone earns 3.5% APY using Galaxy 1
- 28:58Cash. And if you make over $200,000 a
- 29:01year, that means you're probably an
- 29:02accredited investor. And then you can
- 29:04earn up to 8% on your cash guaranteed by
- 29:07Galaxy Digital. The best part though is
- 29:10that you can actually set it so that
- 29:11your yield immediately is reinvested
- 29:13into your favorite stocks, crypto, or
- 29:16ETFs. You don't got to think about it
- 29:18every single month. It just
- 29:19automatically does it for you. That's
- 29:20why I love Galaxy 1. So, if your cash
- 29:23isn't working as hard as you are, then
- 29:24it's time to make a move. Check out the

- 30:36week we talked a lot about the agents
- 30:38and uh a number of things that now I
- 30:40think are moving rapidly in a matter of
- 30:42weeks from contrarian to consensus. Uh
- 30:45on Monday, Meta gapped up almost 15% or
- 30:49so. Uh I don't know if we get a pat on
- 30:51the back. Maybe we get like a little
- 30:52golf clap, right? Um what is your
- 30:55thought process on like okay, we know
- 30:57the consumer agents are going to become
- 30:58a thing. People are already adopting
- 31:00them. You and I are adopting them. We're
- 31:02using them very aggressively. What does
- 31:03that mean for the companies? Black
- 31:06Rockck's talking about this. Meta's
- 31:07building this. Like, do all of these
- 31:09companies actually see it flow through
- 31:11to performance and ultimately higher
- 31:13stock prices, or is there maybe a period
- 31:15of time where there's tons of adoption,
- 31:18but stock prices don't really reflect
- 31:20that until they can show that they can
- 31:21actually monetize these services?
- 31:24I think the market on Monday uh set a
- 31:29very similar framework to what happened
- 31:31with semiconductors saying oh my god the
- 31:34agent world started today how do we make
- 31:36money off agents
- 31:39I think the disappointment will come and
- 31:42again how you measure the monetary
- 31:45benefits to Meta well now they get the
- 31:47benefit of the doubt because they have
- 31:48this growth engine so if you can find
- 31:50anything positive in there it offsets
- 31:53the debt that they've been taking the
- 31:55fact that the Mag 7 broke to all-time
- 31:57highs on the same day. And last week I
- 31:59did talk about the fact and I did on my
- 32:01my my weekend show that the Mag 7 all
- 32:04benefit from the agentic side in some
- 32:07way. I mean Amazon has Alexa, Apple has
- 32:10Siri, Google has Gemini. Like they're
- 32:13all ways that you're going to benefit on
- 32:14this by having a personal assistant. I
- 32:16mean for Muse, imagine if Google said,
- 32:18"I'm not you can't access my
- 32:21my account." I I it would it would be
- 32:23very very difficult to to go through.
- 32:25Now Muse can absolutely help me with
- 32:28Amazon because they just sign in under
- 32:30my name and go through it. And that's
- 32:31the beauty of like, well, how do you
- 32:32know it's not me? You can't buy things
- 32:34then. Okay, great. But can you do the
- 32:36research and tell me what I should look
- 32:37for and go through it? That is one of
- 32:38the powers of Muse, by the way. people
- 32:40haven't used it. If you're taking a trip
- 32:43and you want to go find restaurants in a
- 32:45city, one of the things I hate the most
- 32:48about the way search works is when you
- 32:50type that in, you get whatever papers
- 32:53and advertisers have been paid to do
- 32:55that. When you use Muse, you you you
- 32:57>> get the answer.
- 32:57>> You get the answer. Um, so I I think the
- 33:00the marketing
- 33:01>> You're saying Muse is a filter?
- 33:03>> Uh, to a to a degree. That's it's it's
- 33:05it's really hurting. I I don't
- 33:07understand still the advertising side.
- 33:09So I don't understand this whole thing
- 33:10of people being excited about ads
- 33:12personally. I just
- 33:13>> ads in inmuse
- 33:16>> like anything regarding ads. When I hear
- 33:18consumer agents
- 33:21I I'm thinking that agents will be
- 33:23making decisions with no preferences. I
- 33:26don't know why people don't understand
- 33:27this. Like human beings
- 33:30McDonald's putting a a photo of a
- 33:32burger. No offense to anyone listening
- 33:34from McDonald's but I don't eat
- 33:36McDonald's. And so when I see a photo I
- 33:39know and they try to make it look good.
- 33:40>> It's best restaurant in America.
- 33:43>> It definitely controls a lot of the food
- 33:45supply in the country. Um
- 33:47>> based
- 33:49what is an AI agent going to make
- 33:50decisions on? They're going to make them
- 33:52based on price, reviews, all of these
- 33:54different things, but it's not going to
- 33:55be based on advertising. So maybe that's
- 33:57not today, but eventually it is. So when
- 33:59I hear people talk about consumer
- 34:00behavior, I think the agent side is
- 34:02still going to be compute. So for
- 34:04everyone who's like worried about
- 34:06semiconductors and stuff, watch this
- 34:09Sunday when I show you where we are. The
- 34:13compute needs just went up
- 34:14exponentially.
- 34:16Remember Meta has built a huge data
- 34:19center in in in Louisiana. Why?
- 34:23They're not selling the compute.
- 34:25Remember that was the story back in
- 34:26June. Also, they didn't sell any.
- 34:28They're not doing what they actually
- 34:30have a need for it. Why do they have a
- 34:31need for it? because of their consumer
- 34:33agents and at some point this week there
- 34:35was a weight list where you couldn't get
- 34:36on just like it was for Instinct. So I
- 34:38think consumer agents is going to lead
- 34:39to enormous amount of compute. I do
- 34:40think there'll be a buzz trade for MAG 7
- 34:43and things like that. I don't think
- 34:44they're going to outperform the S&P. I
- 34:46think they'll [snorts] outperform small
- 34:47caps as people get panicked because of
- 34:49rates and because of oil. But in the end
- 34:51I do think that you can make money off
- 34:52this. But I think the place where you
- 34:53want to go and what are the agents
- 34:55using? They're using crypto. What do
- 34:57they need? They need compute. Those are
- 34:59the trades. Are you telling me that
- 35:02there's going to be zero ability to
- 35:04create like a cute agent that can flirt
- 35:06with somebody else's agent to get a
- 35:08sale? That's not going to be a thing.
- 35:09>> It's not going to be a thing.
- 35:10>> All right. Well, there's some businesses
- 35:11that going to be in trouble there. Um,
- 35:14when you think through everything that's
- 35:16happening in the product side, one
- 35:19aspect that I think people are starting
- 35:21to almost forget about is there's a huge
- 35:23technical side to this. And Mused, I
- 35:26think the beauty of it is like you have
- 35:28no clue what model they're using. You
- 35:29have no clue how much to compute costs.
- 35:33You don't know a token. The average
- 35:35person's never even heard that term,
- 35:36right? All they know is there's a piece
- 35:38of software that is a product. I tell it
- 35:41to do something, it does it. It's magic.
- 35:43>> On the technical side, uh, recently
- 35:45Doresh sat down with Nome Brown and, uh,
- 35:48it was pretty interesting conversation.
- 35:49What were your main takeaways?
- 35:52Uh I
- 35:55lately my AI listening on podcast has
- 35:59gone down.
- 36:00>> Okay. Interesting.
- 36:01>> And the reason is
- 36:03someone who we both know asked me this
- 36:05yesterday because uh they're at the
- 36:07moonshots uh event and I sat back and I
- 36:13said here's the deal. When things are
- 36:16changing so fast,
- 36:19it's almost useless to listen to what
- 36:21happened in the prior week because the
- 36:23next week there's a whole new thing. So
- 36:26unless it's something that's like
- 36:27earthshattering like Opus 5.5 releasing
- 36:31doesn't change anything. Chat GPT6 and
- 36:34Soul Luna doesn't change anything.
- 36:36>> I literally don't even think most people
- 36:38>> care anymore when these new things
- 36:40unless it is a huge step function
- 36:42change.
- 36:42>> Exactly. the iterative nobody
- 36:44>> it does it it doesn't matter and Astra I
- 36:46said it to people I I'm not going to
- 36:48care anymore this thing is so good that
- 36:51it does everything that I needed to do
- 36:53which wasn't the case before and so the
- 36:55time between them so that's the reason
- 36:57>> one aspect of this I think is very
- 36:58interesting is when we look at uh
- 37:01measurements inside of Sylvia and we're
- 37:04measuring let's say uh accuracy or uh
- 37:06efficacy on certain benchmarks
- 37:10we continue to talk internally without
- 37:12an
- 37:13Let's say that Opus scores 88 and the
- 37:17Sylvia model scores 91 and let's say
- 37:22maybe chat GBT whatever version scores
- 37:2486.
- 37:26Can a human tell the difference between
- 37:2886 88 and 91? Probably not.
- 37:31>> Yeah.
- 37:33>> Can a human tell the difference between
- 37:3540 and 90? Absolutely.
- 37:37>> Yeah. But one of the questions is like
- 37:39what is the the band of the human eye
- 37:42cannot you know identify the difference
- 37:44and I think that what you're talking
- 37:45about in these new model releases
- 37:47they're within the band of to the user
- 37:49it's the same thing.
- 37:50>> Y
- 37:50>> and what you need is you need these
- 37:51breakouts people only care when it is
- 37:54obvious to them.
- 37:55>> So before I I I go through what I am
- 37:57listening to and and why this has
- 38:00changed and the nome brown situation.
- 38:02So, there was one that came out this
- 38:03week, a benchmark that um Astra I think
- 38:06got 100% and and and
- 38:09Fable got 45.
- 38:11>> Oo. This was a driving benchmark. So, it
- 38:15was a driving from what I saw
- 38:17simulation.
- 38:18>> Okay.
- 38:18>> And so, they had to learn
- 38:20>> a fake test for a fake action
- 38:21>> of course. Yeah. and they had to do it
- 38:24and Astra ended up being able to do it
- 38:26on like the second try and I'm not sure
- 38:29that uh Fable finished the course. The
- 38:32reason I bring that up is not to say
- 38:34well this one's better than this. It's
- 38:35to say that we're getting into the point
- 38:37now where humanoids robotics full
- 38:39self-driving become something important.
- 38:42Remember um making snap decisions at a
- 38:44given point and having the vision to
- 38:46incorporate that and learning as you go
- 38:48along it's going to take an enormous
- 38:49amount of compute. So this is the
- 38:51beginning of showing how the models are
- 38:53now entering next stage. It's funny how
- 38:55many people go. The images you have on
- 38:58these slides on the weekend are so good.
- 39:00Where do you do them? You guys don't
- 39:03know how to do them. So again, I used to
- 39:06use nano banana a long time ago. That
- 39:07stopped. I remember
- 39:08>> and and it has been chatbt since then.
- 39:11But it's amazing to me that people don't
- 39:12use them. I I mean I use it all day long
- 39:14because I'm a visual learner. I prefer
- 39:16it that way. All right. The gnome brown
- 39:17thing because I think it's really
- 39:18important
- 39:18>> from open AI. Yes, from Anome Brown from
- 39:21OpenAI sat down with Dwar
- 39:24there. There will be points if people
- 39:25listen to it because Dwar is so he can
- 39:28talk to an open AI researcher. So, one
- 39:32of the smartest AI reachers in the
- 39:34researchers in the world, he can speak
- 39:35to him at eye to eye level and talk
- 39:37about things. You're like, I don't
- 39:38understand what that means. I'm the
- 39:39same. Like, there's certain things I'm
- 39:41like, skip to the part I care about. So,
- 39:44there's two parts that are really
- 39:45important. So I think what I'm really
- 39:46good at is consuming a lot of
- 39:47information and then picking out the two
- 39:49or three things that are I want to
- 39:51double click on. And there were two
- 39:54things in there based on the traffic
- 39:55coming to me. One was the hugging face
- 39:57thing which no one Brown is a big part
- 39:58of and he talked about it. You go in
- 40:01there and he made this phrase the most
- 40:03important line in the entire thing. We
- 40:05underestimated
- 40:07the capabilities of AI.
- 40:10>> We won't Yeah. And we won't
- 40:12underestimate it again. I think every
- 40:16parent goes through that. So I want to
- 40:17make sure you have that analogy.
- 40:20At some point you underestimate your
- 40:24child's ability to do something that you
- 40:26were taking for granted. So I think for
- 40:29people who are scared of oh these things
- 40:31are rogue and they're going to go over.
- 40:32No, it was the humans underestimating.
- 40:35It's the most important line in there in
- 40:37terms of okay on the second part they
- 40:40spent a lot of time on where the model
- 40:42is now. and they talked about Navier
- 40:43Stokes and that is a really important
- 40:46thing. That's where Muse fits in. We've
- 40:48entered in the last two months a very
- 40:52important point and it gets back to he
- 40:54admitted we're in that parabolic side of
- 40:56situational awareness. He said it the as
- 40:59as important as the agents are working
- 41:01together and he describes how they work
- 41:03together. It's unbelievable.
- 41:06It is the model itself that has reached
- 41:10the levels of being able to solve the
- 41:11problems. So we are at a point of time
- 41:15where breakthroughs are going to be
- 41:16coming that are going to blow your mind.
- 41:18Number one, that is not a time to be
- 41:20bearish on stocks, [snorts] science
- 41:22breakthroughs, cancer curing, stuff like
- 41:24that. We're going to be having
- 41:25breakthrough after breakthrough after
- 41:27breakthrough. That's why the anthropic
- 41:29news combined with this. So if you're
- 41:30looking at the hugging face thing going,
- 41:32"The world's going to end." It could.
- 41:35And I've heard people describe how it
- 41:37could happen. And I can I actually can
- 41:39get to the point that if you combine
- 41:40humanoids and they're on the planet and
- 41:42rogue people, whatever, I can get there.
- 41:45It's not going to happen. But I think
- 41:46the more important thing is the
- 41:48capabilities of it have reached a level
- 41:50that the productivity, if you look at
- 41:52that situational awareness thing, it's
- 41:53going to go through the roof.
- 41:55>> One more statement on this because I
- 41:56said this down in DC. I've actually
- 41:58reached a point of of thinking it is it
- 42:02is just as wrong for people to say
- 42:05everyone's going to lose their jobs,
- 42:07okay, as the other side, which is to be
- 42:10naive enough to then tell the same
- 42:12people those they're just scaring you.
- 42:15Nobody's going to lose their job. We're
- 42:17going to create more jobs. That also is
- 42:19not being honest cuz that sets you up
- 42:21say I don't have to do anything. You
- 42:23know what the right message is for
- 42:24everyone listening? If you're older and
- 42:27you're near retirement and you don't
- 42:28care about your job,
- 42:30>> okay, fine.
- 42:31>> Yeah.
- 42:32>> For your kids though, they need to use
- 42:34AI. End of story. Like, if you're not
- 42:37embracing AI, if you're not thinking, if
- 42:38you're you get smarter, you whatever
- 42:41everyone thinks of me, I spend a lot of
- 42:43time trying to use AI to get smarter, to
- 42:46use AI to build things, to use AI. I'm a
- 42:48builder. I like to do it. This is going
- 42:50to be an age of entrepreneurship, which
- 42:53means you're going to have freedom. You
- 42:54don't have to work for someone. Work,
- 42:57job are bad words in my opinion. I don't
- 42:58know why people want them. They want
- 43:00them for identity. I get that. Smith
- 43:02viser means fisherman. I get it. That's
- 43:04what our lives have been about. But
- 43:06don't you want to work for yourself and
- 43:08don't you want to make money and don't
- 43:09you want to go through it? I believe
- 43:10investing and letting your money
- 43:11compound at the same time as finding
- 43:13ways to drive income is what it is. It's
- 43:15not about working for someone. It's
- 43:17about how do I make income and turn that
- 43:19into more money. The people who are the
- 43:21wealthiest on the planet, they don't get
- 43:23paid a big b paycheck. Their money they
- 43:26turned into more money. That's your
- 43:28story. That's my story. I turned money
- 43:30into more money by investing it and
- 43:32going through it. And I think if
- 43:33everyone just focuses, and that's why I
- 43:35try to preach on the videos, learn AI,
- 43:38understand the markets, understand
- 43:39crypto, and you're going to be ahead of
- 43:40the game from the people that control
- 43:42most of the world's money. And that's
- 43:43the way you make money is being in front
- 43:44of the people. Back to the Peter Lynch
- 43:47story. Bitcoin has hung in there where
- 43:50we started this conversation. It is now
- 43:53seems to be consolidating around 83 to
- 43:56$87,000.
- 43:58Is that a consolidation before a dump
- 44:01back down into the 70s? Is that a
- 44:03consolidation that then should lead to
- 44:04another breakout? How do you think about
- 44:06Bitcoin over the next six months?
- 44:09Well, as I've been saying, I the reason
- 44:11I wanted to create an index is to
- 44:13separate what's happening in Bitcoin
- 44:15from the ecosystem because I think the
- 44:17ecosystem should be benefiting from the
- 44:19agentic side and Bitcoin should be uh
- 44:22benefiting from the ecosystem
- 44:24benefiting. Uh I don't believe in the so
- 44:26at some point in innovation
- 44:29you go from liquidity to fundamentals
- 44:32and I believe we're at the fundamental
- 44:34stage now. Bitcoin doesn't fit in that
- 44:36fundamental argument. Um, it's really
- 44:39more for, hey, we're going to have a lot
- 44:41more developers showing up here. We're
- 44:42going to start building lots of things
- 44:43because Robin Hood chain is driving.
- 44:45Like, it's all these different
- 44:46components that are getting people
- 44:47excited about the fundamentals. And if
- 44:49I'm right, what should be happening is
- 44:51what's happening, which is tenure rates
- 44:53have now gone higher by almost 100 basis
- 44:56points.
- 44:58And I think for the quarter, let's
- 44:59assume it's up 60 70 basis points for
- 45:02the quarter. The quarter is coming to an
- 45:04end soon. And Bitcoin's up 60% for the
- 45:07quarter with rates with tenure rates
- 45:08going higher.
- 45:10>> Is that good?
- 45:11>> Yeah, that's good. And gold's not going
- 45:13higher. This is not a liquidity
- 45:15debasement trade. This is a fundamental
- 45:17trade. So, uh, the fact that this
- 45:20morning Salana was trading at 121 and
- 45:23was up another 4% and it's moving in a
- 45:26different way. I think these are all
- 45:28signs
- 45:30that money is looking into the space and
- 45:32they're like, "Hey, this thing is
- 45:33trading more volume." where RWA is going
- 45:36to fit in. What's the growth rate of
- 45:37this? Let me look at Hyperlquid. I just
- 45:39think people are UN or they're doing the
- 45:40homework. And that's why I said the
- 45:42homework is happening at the end of this
- 45:44year, which will be investments for next
- 45:46year, but it's going to show up after we
- 45:48get through the midterms. So, I don't
- 45:50know when we're going to start kind of
- 45:52the the the rally in stocks that allows
- 45:55this to continue. It could happen in
- 45:57December. It could happen before the
- 45:58midterms and then go sideways. Uh, but I
- 46:01definitely think as the MAG7 broke out
- 46:02to new highs this week and as people are
- 46:04worried about breath and they're worried
- 46:05about all these things, the amount of
- 46:08Google trend stock market crash,
- 46:11everyone go look at it. Go look at the
- 46:13last week
- 46:15up to the highs of the year got to 100%.
- 46:18So, as far as I'm concerned, people are
- 46:19worried about something going on because
- 46:21they're seeing all these things on
- 46:22breath. They're seeing oil going higher.
- 46:24They're seeing rates go higher. And I
- 46:26said it in DC. I don't know if I said it
- 46:27on this show, but I'll say it again. I
- 46:30was in China in 2008 in May
- 46:34just months before Lehman Brothers
- 46:37collapsed.
- 46:38Oil was at 155.
- 46:41Here we are now 18 years later.
- 46:46Oil is 100 and it's not even 100, but
- 46:49let's just say 100.
- 46:52155 verse 100. So it's down. You know
- 46:56how much household net worth has gone
- 46:59up? You know how much the economy has
- 47:00gone up? You know how much disposable
- 47:02income has gone higher? How can oil
- 47:06matter in the long term? Can it freak
- 47:09people out? Yeah. But if you're
- 47:11listening to people my age or higher
- 47:13telling you that oil matters and they're
- 47:15giving you 1970 stuff just like they
- 47:18told you about tariffs from Smoot Holly
- 47:20and all the other things that have gone
- 47:22on and they bring out all of these time
- 47:24periods. These are just people that
- 47:27don't need to be bullish. That's the end
- 47:30story. They want to be bearish because
- 47:32they're not making money in this period
- 47:34because they believe that the world's
- 47:36going to end from the death of the 40
- 47:39trillion. And as I wrote in my token
- 47:41tokenization paper this week, there's
- 47:44195 trillion in the US net, not gross,
- 47:49net. So take out the debt for
- 47:51households. 95 trillion as of June and
- 47:5640 trillion of debt. We're worried about
- 47:59the 40 trillion when the households have
- 48:02195 trillion. Tokenization
- 48:06will turn that 195 trillion into
- 48:09liquidity. That's going to happen over
- 48:11the next 5 years. So, you can doubt it.
- 48:13You can say Jord's crazy. Just go look
- 48:16up tokenization and what's happening and
- 48:18go read the Black Rockck Black Rockck
- 48:19report. That's a lot of money that goes
- 48:21to liquidity. We never need to print
- 48:24again.
- 48:25>> Ladies and gentlemen, we're not going to
- 48:26die. I promise the world is going to be
- 48:28better in the future than it is in the
- 48:29past. The doomers are wrong. Jordi is
- 48:31here. I appreciate you watching. Go
