  1. 0:00We are at the same point as when the
  2. 0:01iPhone came out for crypto. The change
  3. 0:03was that the iPhone came out to allow
  4. 0:06Uber. For crypto, it's obvious. It's the
  5. 0:09agents. It's plain and simple, the
  6. 0:11agents. So, the fact that to me, the
  7. 0:13ghost city analogy for Ghost Rails is
  8. 0:17about you build all this infrastructure,
  9. 0:19you build Ethereum, you build Bitcoin,
  10. 0:21you develop this whole thing, people
  11. 0:22know where it is. It needs time to
  12. 0:25survive the test of [music] time. It
  13. 0:26needs people looking at it and then it
  14. 0:28can take off. What's going on guys?
  15. 0:30Today we got a great conversation with
  16. 0:31Jordi Visser. In this conversation, we
  17. 0:33talk about what's going on with consumer
  18. 0:34AI agents. How is it affecting financial
  19. 0:36markets? Why are there certain stocks
  20. 0:38that everyone's excited about? But
  21. 0:39Jord's got some data that says that
  22. 0:41they're actually under a lot of
  23. 0:41pressure. Bitcoin broke out
  24. 0:43consolidating. Is it going to go up? Is
  25. 0:45it going to go down? Are we in a Bitcoin
  26. 0:46bull market? And where else is value
  27. 0:48going to acrew in your portfolio? What
  28. 0:50are the assets you don't own that Jordy
  29. 0:52thinks you should? All that much more in
  30. 0:54this conversation with Jordy Visser. All
  31. 0:56right, Jordy. Uh, crypto has done a very
  32. 0:58good job of hanging in there all week
  33. 1:00long, even though a number of other
  34. 1:01things have come under pressure. Why do
  35. 1:02you think crypto is trading so well?
  36. 1:04>> When did we last see each other?
  37. 1:07>> Couple days ago, a Tuesday. We We did a
  38. 1:09drive by high five.
  39. 1:10>> I walk into an event not [clears throat]
  40. 1:12knowing you're there. I thought we were
  41. 1:13friends. We do this. [laughter]
  42. 1:16>> We walk through a turn style the other
  43. 1:18way. See you. Oh, see you. How you
  44. 1:19>> The difference between you and I is you
  45. 1:21went for multiple days. See? Uh,
  46. 1:23[laughter] young Paraguan. Listen, I'm a
  47. 1:25expert at this. I took my train down to
  48. 1:27DC, did my 15-minute talk and got right
  49. 1:29back on the train and came back. You
  50. 1:30stayed.
  51. 1:31>> I stayed and had the best time. And for
  52. 1:32the people who know that I had a great
  53. 1:34time, you know who you are. I had a
  54. 1:36great time. Um, okay. So, whenever you
  55. 1:40The great thing about technical
  56. 1:41analysis, we talked a lot about the
  57. 1:44importance of the original break uh in
  58. 1:47Bitcoin from the low60s up. But what was
  59. 1:51important was the negative news that was
  60. 1:53happening in the time before. Mhm.
  61. 1:56>> Clarity goes down to close to 0%. Uh Fed
  62. 1:59rate hikes are going through the roof in
  63. 2:01terms of expectations and at the same
  64. 2:03time you have the cold wallet incident
  65. 2:05and yet Bitcoin stayed at like 60 to 65.
  66. 2:08And so the second that anything good
  67. 2:11happens. Oh, Bessant intervenes in the
  68. 2:14yen and then we get all this debasement
  69. 2:17stuff and it breaks out but it stays
  70. 2:19under the important levels of kind of
  71. 2:21the highs from the prior 6 months which
  72. 2:23were right around 82. So now we gap up
  73. 2:25again. So the question is when you're
  74. 2:27doing these in technical analysis where
  75. 2:29first you handle bad news. You go up
  76. 2:31what happened when we broke out last
  77. 2:33week? The Fed raised rates 10ear rates
  78. 2:36are going higher. Equities are you know
  79. 2:38breath is breaking down in the market
  80. 2:40and yet we still found a way to go
  81. 2:42higher again. So I believe based on the
  82. 2:46inbound traffic I'm getting from
  83. 2:49everybody. everyone but people that
  84. 2:51manage trillions of dollars. So not the
  85. 2:55analysts who work for him, the people
  86. 2:57who manage trillions of dollars
  87. 3:00asking me to talk about the paper I
  88. 3:02wrote two months ago to explain why the
  89. 3:05paper I wrote on tokenization will
  90. 3:07change the world, what that means. So I
  91. 3:09think we've entered a point where you
  92. 3:10have to realize that
  93. 3:12people are starting to ask questions
  94. 3:14about it. Part of this is because of the
  95. 3:17events that have occurred with consumer
  96. 3:19agents and things where I've connected
  97. 3:20the dots, but part of this is also what
  98. 3:23happened last year. And I think there's
  99. 3:24PTSD. People missed Micron. They missed
  100. 3:29the semiconductor trade. And so I think
  101. 3:31what's starting to happen here is they
  102. 3:34know crypto is not dead, meaning they
  103. 3:36kind of waved it off. So people that
  104. 3:38manage lots of money that need to
  105. 3:40produce alpha, this is not a greed
  106. 3:42thing. I think there's FOMO starting to
  107. 3:43set in. You think that there's FOMO
  108. 3:45coming from Wall Street on the crypto
  109. 3:47trade?
  110. 3:47>> There's no doubt in my mind. Now, I said
  111. 3:49on this show that I believe that 2027
  112. 3:51would be the important year. And the
  113. 3:53reason is this. You need to have FOMO
  114. 3:55first because we're nearing the end of
  115. 3:58the calendar year. And I'm spending a
  116. 4:00lot of time like I did in DC about
  117. 4:02machine time versus human time. Human
  118. 4:05time moves really slow. Crypto doesn't
  119. 4:08move slow. It moves very fast. AI
  120. 4:10doesn't move slow. It moves very fast.
  121. 4:12Oh, rates are going higher. or this is
  122. 4:13going to hurt the housing market. This
  123. 4:15is going to hurt small caps. I posted
  124. 4:17something on X today. So, let me get
  125. 4:18this straight. The Mag 7 are near
  126. 4:20all-time high and the Russell 2000 is
  127. 4:24breaking down, which means breath is
  128. 4:25breaking down. And if you do a chart for
  129. 4:27all of you breath fearmongers now of the
  130. 4:30market, you'll realize that, oh, QQQ
  131. 4:34over
  132. 4:35IWM has been a trade since the iPhone
  133. 4:37came into existence. If you're not part
  134. 4:40of the digital economy, you're
  135. 4:41suffering. So I think there's an element
  136. 4:44that crypto now has a fundamental use.
  137. 4:47It has public companies which means they
  138. 4:49can do a little bit of investing.
  139. 4:50They're not going into the tokens but
  140. 4:52they are looking. But I think the fact
  141. 4:54that you and I talk about all the time
  142. 4:55and we have a lot of different
  143. 4:56listeners. I write about the
  144. 4:58relationship. I set up a business based
  145. 5:00on the importance of AI to crypto
  146. 5:02disrupting macro. I think FOMO is
  147. 5:05kicking in because they're trying to
  148. 5:06figure out ways to make money because
  149. 5:07it's been kind of a frustrating year for
  150. 5:09Alpha. And I'm just going to give you
  151. 5:11one example because I can tell by people
  152. 5:13reaching out on on me on things like
  153. 5:16Visa and Mastercard. So Visa and
  154. 5:18Mastercard are your classic examples of
  155. 5:20things that oh crypto is not going to
  156. 5:22disrupt them. And I'm just like of
  157. 5:24course it will. Like I don't even know
  158. 5:26how you could argue they're going to
  159. 5:27benefit maybe initially but not in 5
  160. 5:31years.
  161. 5:32>> Why?
  162. 5:34We're entering a deflationary period
  163. 5:36that people just do not understand.
  164. 5:38Deflation, not inflation. Deflation. You
  165. 5:40and I agree on that. The deflationary
  166. 5:42pressures that come from AI are intense.
  167. 5:44It's just a matter of how long it takes
  168. 5:46for it to filter through.
  169. 5:49But where it's really going to filter
  170. 5:50through is when people are having
  171. 5:52agents, an agent's job is to find their
  172. 5:55airline ticket for the cheapest price
  173. 5:57that satisfies to book a travel thing
  174. 6:00where they're stripping out the
  175. 6:01middlemen as much as possible. Visa and
  176. 6:04Mastercard by definition are middlemen.
  177. 6:06So when people argue with me on this,
  178. 6:08they go, "Well, no, no, they you need
  179. 6:09this for this. They're going to
  180. 6:10benefit." Blah, blah, blah. I'm like,
  181. 6:11"Yeah, just like Salesforce.com, you see
  182. 6:13Salesforce.com lately, it's up big. It's
  183. 6:15down 10% this year. S&P's up 12. So it's
  184. 6:20underperformed by 22%. Semiconductors,
  185. 6:22my thematic portfolio is up 45%.
  186. 6:25Salesforce down here. Even the Mag 7,
  187. 6:28they're up 10%. They've underperformed.
  188. 6:30I think people are making a mistake on
  189. 6:32Vis and Mastercard. They're not going
  190. 6:33out of business. But at some point, you
  191. 6:35have to recognize that terminal value
  192. 6:37matters again. And crypto and
  193. 6:40tokenization are going to change the
  194. 6:43world because it unleashes a lot of them
  195. 6:46too because wealth becomes money. I
  196. 6:47wrote about that this week. It's on
  197. 6:49Substack. But on the other side, it
  198. 6:51brings an enormous amount of
  199. 6:52entrepreneurs that you can invest in
  200. 6:54because they're going to have tokens. Is
  201. 6:56it going to be this year? No. But it'll
  202. 6:57be in five years. So where Visa and
  203. 6:58Mastercard go, it's not about them going
  204. 7:00out of business. It's about in five
  205. 7:02years, will people still be paying a
  206. 7:04vig? Agents won't. Agents don't pay
  207. 7:07vigs. Agents figure out how. So people
  208. 7:09tell me consumer behavior, they know
  209. 7:11consumer behavior. I'm sorry, but you
  210. 7:14don't know agent behavior. Agent
  211. 7:16behavior is all about the goals. And the
  212. 7:17goals are find things fast and cheap.
  213. 7:20>> In the last bull market, there was a lot
  214. 7:23of institutions that they started to dip
  215. 7:26their toes. and dipping toes because
  216. 7:29they're so big felt really big to the
  217. 7:31crypto industry. So if you have, you
  218. 7:33know, hundred billion dollars of assets
  219. 7:35and you take 1%, it's a billion dollars.
  220. 7:37In the crypto world, there was almost no
  221. 7:39funds that had a billion dollars. And so
  222. 7:41[clears throat] all of a sudden
  223. 7:42quotequote smart money or the big guys
  224. 7:44show up and they're wow, they put a
  225. 7:45billion dollars.
  226. 7:46>> To them, it was like uh let's see what
  227. 7:49happens here. You know, it's a 1%
  228. 7:50allocation.
  229. 7:52I do feel like Wall Street, they're
  230. 7:54ready for the fat pitch now. They last
  231. 7:57cycle dipped their toe. They know what
  232. 7:59this thing can do when it's going in the
  233. 8:01right direction. They understand it's
  234. 8:03super volatile. They're glad they just
  235. 8:05dipped their toes and they didn't go all
  236. 8:06in cuz they saw the volatility. But your
  237. 8:09point about FOMO, it's like uh three
  238. 8:13balls, two strikes, bottom of the ninth,
  239. 8:16and you know the pitcher's going to
  240. 8:17throw a fast ball and they're just
  241. 8:19waiting. And I don't know when you
  242. 8:21probably understand better than me like
  243. 8:22what are the trigger that's going to let
  244. 8:23them you know just swing but this time
  245. 8:26it's not you know a billion it's 10 20
  246. 8:2930 billion [clears throat] per firm it's
  247. 8:32bitcoin other cryptos tokenization like
  248. 8:35now they are ready to play this whole
  249. 8:37thing and some of it is they have more
  250. 8:38options now they couldn't just go buy
  251. 8:40you know bitcoin before so they had to
  252. 8:42wait for the ETFs y
  253. 8:43>> but also how many public companies are
  254. 8:45there now that give them some degree of
  255. 8:46exposure to individual cryptos or
  256. 8:48tokenization or even you know crypto
  257. 8:51being used or blockchains being used in
  258. 8:52certain verticals like the addressable
  259. 8:55you know uh market of what they can
  260. 8:57invest in has grown so much as well that
  261. 8:59they actually can put more money to work
  262. 9:00at the same time.
  263. 9:02So, let's talk about um what you just
  264. 9:05said and and let's go a fat pitch. Let's
  265. 9:07go back to 2122 when they they stubbed
  266. 9:10their toe, okay?
  267. 9:12>> They bought at the highs, they jumped
  268. 9:14into NFTts, they jumped into FTX, they
  269. 9:17jumped into a whole bunch of things and
  270. 9:18it seemed like an obvious situation.
  271. 9:20Now, the reality is behind closed doors,
  272. 9:23the VC world was pumping an enormous
  273. 9:25amount of money into SAS businesses and
  274. 9:27into crypto. Co is just over. We're in a
  275. 9:30raging bull market. I've said this
  276. 9:32before, I'll say it again. For crypto,
  277. 9:35that was the.com bubble. Like,
  278. 9:37everyone's looking for the.com bubble in
  279. 9:39AI. That was the dot bubble for crypto.
  280. 9:41It wasn't debt, [snorts]
  281. 9:43but it was VC money that came in. Well,
  282. 9:46a lot of these rails, they don't need VC
  283. 9:48money now. So, with AI, the whole world
  284. 9:51is changing. And this is part of my
  285. 9:52thing. You don't need to hire people and
  286. 9:54you get to use digital agents and go
  287. 9:56through it. The thing that saved.com
  288. 9:59bubble companies is in 2007 there was a
  289. 10:02change that was able to use those rails.
  290. 10:05And I keep saying this over and over
  291. 10:07again. We were at the same point as when
  292. 10:09the iPhone came out for crypto. The
  293. 10:11change was that the iPhone came out to
  294. 10:14allow Uber. I'll joke about this all the
  295. 10:17time, but you can't take a laptop up and
  296. 10:19be ordering a car outside. You need
  297. 10:21Wi-Fi, cellular. You needed a smartphone
  298. 10:24to be able to have Uber work.
  299. 10:27>> Well, GPS in the phone was probably the
  300. 10:29most important part. Yeah.
  301. 10:30>> Yeah. You you you couldn't do it. So, we
  302. 10:32needed an app store.
  303. 10:34For crypto, it's obvious. It's the
  304. 10:37agents. It's plain and simple, the
  305. 10:39agents. So the fact that to me I've been
  306. 10:42talking about this for a while that the
  307. 10:44ghost city analogy for ghost rails is
  308. 10:48about you build all this infrastructure,
  309. 10:50you build Ethereum, you build Bitcoin,
  310. 10:52you develop this whole thing. People
  311. 10:54know where it is. It needs time to
  312. 10:56survive the test of time. It needs
  313. 10:58people looking at it and then it can
  314. 10:59take off. Peter Lynch wrote a book that
  315. 11:01he's still famous for which is all about
  316. 11:04oneupping Wall Street. The beauty of
  317. 11:07this is
  318. 11:10Wall Street doesn't cover tokens and
  319. 11:12crypto. They're starting to get involved
  320. 11:15in the rails, but they don't cover
  321. 11:17individual tokens. So, if you're at a
  322. 11:20big mutual fund or a big pension fund,
  323. 11:22you're like, you know what I'd really
  324. 11:23like to see? Hey, can you get me the
  325. 11:24Morgan Stanley research on on crypto
  326. 11:26tokens? Doesn't exist. So, before when
  327. 11:29you're in
  328. 11:29>> TV research exists,
  329. 11:31>> yes. Yes. I I And again,
  330. 11:32>> Mr. Research exists.
  331. 11:33>> It's live now. It's live. It went out
  332. 11:35this week. And now every week I'll be
  333. 11:37going through the vertical. So yes, that
  334. 11:38was what I planned. My business was
  335. 11:40about the fact that Peter Lynch's
  336. 11:42philosophy was the best way to make
  337. 11:44money is to be early on something, but
  338. 11:46the only way to be early on something is
  339. 11:47to know that the money is not invested
  340. 11:49in the thing that you're early on and
  341. 11:50Wall Street doesn't cover it. That was
  342. 11:52his whole theory that was one uping Wall
  343. 11:54Street. Well, that's where I believe we
  344. 11:56are in crypto. So for all the people
  345. 11:58have committed their time where they
  346. 11:59understand every token that I put in my
  347. 12:0246th name index, they already know what
  348. 12:04they are. you have a huge advantage and
  349. 12:06the money is enormous on the other side
  350. 12:09because the beauty of the crypto
  351. 12:10guardrails are the valuation is still $4
  352. 12:13trillion compared to 900 trillion of
  353. 12:15asset and all of those assets are going
  354. 12:16to be tokenized and be on chain. Is it
  355. 12:18going to happen tomorrow? No. But you
  356. 12:20don't invest in things based on today.
  357. 12:23You based on their growth. If you come
  358. 12:25up with a great idea like Starbucks and
  359. 12:27you have one store, you know how they
  360. 12:28start to really get excited when you go
  361. 12:29to two stores, three stores, four
  362. 12:31stores. It's about growth at a very low
  363. 12:33level. Everyone that screwed up the
  364. 12:35token trade. I wrote a paper on
  365. 12:37inference. We talked about Micron almost
  366. 12:39all of last year.
  367. 12:42The smartest people missed it. And they
  368. 12:44missed it because they didn't understand
  369. 12:46compute. This trade is still the same.
  370. 12:49You want to be long compute speed. You
  371. 12:52want to be long crypto speed. You want
  372. 12:54to be short everything that has
  373. 12:56friction. My presentation in DC was
  374. 12:58about being long speed, short friction.
  375. 13:00I was saying it to politicians. Ultimate
  376. 13:02friction.
  377. 13:03Why are senior people leaving Google?
  378. 13:06Why hasn't Google been able to do what
  379. 13:08Anthropic and OpenAI did? Why aren't
  380. 13:10people asking that question that the
  381. 13:11best AI models are not at companies
  382. 13:14worth with the biggest balance sheets?
  383. 13:16Anthropic went from 3 billion in
  384. 13:19revenues to where it is today. Let's say
  385. 13:2180. In the same amount of time, as I
  386. 13:23said on stage, the Clarity Act went from
  387. 13:25an idea to rejection. In the same amount
  388. 13:27of time that Anthropic went up, you want
  389. 13:29to be short friction. You want to be
  390. 13:31long speed. And we're at that point now
  391. 13:33where that is starting to play out. And
  392. 13:34I think crypto guardrails and the whole
  393. 13:36crypto system, you're going to have a
  394. 13:37lot of people knocking on your doors and
  395. 13:39this is going to be money that's coming
  396. 13:40in. The problem is they don't have
  397. 13:42access to it because these funds can't
  398. 13:44invest in
  399. 13:46these tokens at this point. That'll all
  400. 13:49change over time, but what they can
  401. 13:50invest in is Ethereum and Bitcoin and
  402. 13:53then all of the stocks that are there. I
  403. 13:56think you're going to see an evolution
  404. 13:57that's going to change next year.
  405. 13:58>> Today's episode is brought to you by
  406. 14:00Arch Public. Arch public has just
  407. 14:01expanded its agentic trading platform
  408. 14:03beyond crypto. So pay attention. This is
  409. 14:05a big one. Now they are automating
  410. 14:07strategies across stocks, commodities,
  411. 14:09and ETFs. And I think that this is going
  412. 14:11to be huge. You can now automatically
  413. 14:13take profits when one market hits new
  414. 14:14all-time highs and rotate that capital
  415. 14:16into other markets showing more
  416. 14:18opportunity. Whether you're rotating
  417. 14:20capital into AI stocks, gold, if you're
  418. 14:22investing in the S&P 500, or you're
  419. 14:23accumulating Bitcoin, Arch Public brings
  420. 14:25real discipline and automation to your
  421. 14:27investment strategy. Additionally,
  422. 14:29they've launched a powerful new tax loss
  423. 14:31harvesting tool. With crypto being so
  424. 14:32volatile and its exemption from the wash
  425. 14:35sale rule, Arch Public can offset gains
  426. 14:37with losses without compromising your
  427. 14:39long-term positions. It's exactly what
  428. 14:41every serious investor does.
  429. 14:43Institutional grade automation that
  430. 14:44works across every major asset class.
  431. 14:46[music] There's no more emotional
  432. 14:47trading, no more missing tax
  433. 14:48opportunities, just smarter, hands-free
  434. 14:51execution of your preferred strategies.

  441. 15:03This whole idea of uh the AI agents, the
  442. 15:07uh ability to use this technology, how
  443. 15:08it goes faster, etc. I think a lot of
  444. 15:10folks have focused on the intelligence
  445. 15:12for raffle reasons is, you know, is it a
  446. 15:14130, 140, 150 IQ? How do I get as much
  447. 15:17of that as possible by going long
  448. 15:19compute? Uh the more people that use the
  449. 15:21intelligence, obviously, the more
  450. 15:22productive they should become. All that
  451. 15:24kind of stuff. But one aspect I don't
  452. 15:26hear a lot of people talk about which I
  453. 15:28catch myself now I try to be very
  454. 15:29conscious of my consumer behaviors
  455. 15:32its memory is better than me now and I
  456. 15:36find myself telling various agents
  457. 15:40remind me tomorrow to do something at
  458. 15:42this time put this in your memory and
  459. 15:45don't forget it make sure that whenever
  460. 15:47you do this task you always remember to
  461. 15:49do xyz and it hit me if this thing is
  462. 15:54smarter than us and it has better memory
  463. 15:56than us. What can it not do? like you
  464. 15:59are going to just turn over all of this
  465. 16:02stuff to it and everyone wants to talk
  466. 16:04about intelligence but the memory
  467. 16:06component when you start talking about
  468. 16:08finance start talking about financial
  469. 16:09data that feels like a huge piece of
  470. 16:12this is whenever you talk to someone
  471. 16:14smart in finance what do they know they
  472. 16:15know history they could tell you
  473. 16:16different cycles they could tell you
  474. 16:18different you know a catalyst they could
  475. 16:19tell you things that triggered sell-offs
  476. 16:22all of the stuff and you're like wow
  477. 16:22this person's really smart they
  478. 16:23understand all this they are no match
  479. 16:26for the memory of a financial agent
  480. 16:29So th [clears throat] this is where we
  481. 16:31start going from the reality of the
  482. 16:33importance of enterprise agents and what
  483. 16:34we just went through the last year to
  484. 16:36consumer agents.
  485. 16:38So let's separate memory into two
  486. 16:40[clears throat] components. I ask chat
  487. 16:43GPT uh about how to fix something in my
  488. 16:47house. I ask it about some random thing
  489. 16:50that happens. Those are things I don't
  490. 16:53care about a memory of. And that's
  491. 16:55pretty much what you dominate a chatbot
  492. 16:57with with Muse and for you Instinct.
  493. 17:02I use it for everything memory wise. So
  494. 17:05like if I'm on a trip now, I can just
  495. 17:07take a photo, upload it into Muse. Don't
  496. 17:08have to say anything. I just have to go
  497. 17:10back at some point and go, "Hey, just
  498. 17:12take everything that I did on that trip,
  499. 17:14all the receipts, and put it into a uh
  500. 17:16into something for my company, for my
  501. 17:19accountant." It's there. It has the
  502. 17:21memory of everything. Hey, I booked a
  503. 17:23trip to so- and so. Can you send me the
  504. 17:25details of my trip to LA? And I just did
  505. 17:26this with it this morning. It sends me
  506. 17:29everything that I booked during the
  507. 17:31time, the meetings I have, where I'm
  508. 17:32staying, the whole thing. It asks me if
  509. 17:34it wants me to put it any place. The me
  510. 17:37the personal memory, the Jarvis, you
  511. 17:40know, from Iron Man, it exists now. And
  512. 17:43so those memories are really important,
  513. 17:45but those only come with a consumer
  514. 17:46agent where you're actually giving them
  515. 17:48access to everything. So, I don't I just
  516. 17:51don't think people have until they use a
  517. 17:54consumer agent, they don't realize what
  518. 17:55just happened. Now, to get back to your
  519. 17:57IQ point last week, [snorts] I talked
  520. 17:59about the point in situational awareness
  521. 18:03on page 71 where it goes parabolic. So
  522. 18:06when you watch your children grow up,
  523. 18:09like your kids are young,
  524. 18:12>> their IQ is not real high at this point
  525. 18:14in terms of
  526. 18:15>> I know [laughter]
  527. 18:17>> my my son still is got a hard time
  528. 18:19sometimes slowing himself down. So he
  529. 18:21just runs into the wall as the stopping
  530. 18:22point.
  531. 18:23>> And you told me he would try to be
  532. 18:24Superman. Like literally tried to be see
  533. 18:25if see if he was Superman. Okay.
  534. 18:27>> Oh, he Yeah.
  535. 18:28>> Yeah. And it didn't work. Okay.
  536. 18:29>> A nice scar on his face for a while.
  537. 18:30[laughter]
  538. 18:31>> So here here's the thing. At some point
  539. 18:35the intelligence gets to the point where
  540. 18:37the kids are really smart and they're
  541. 18:39smarter than you, but it takes
  542. 18:40>> where we're starting from. There's
  543. 18:41there's only [laughter] up to
  544. 18:43>> but no matter what it's it's a
  545. 18:45progression and it keeps going with the
  546. 18:47AI models reaching the point so much has
  547. 18:49happened in the last 3 months, two and a
  548. 18:52half months. And I'm going to say two
  549. 18:54and a half and I'm going to uh preview
  550. 18:56something that I'm going to do in my
  551. 18:57video this weekend. I [snorts] think
  552. 18:59what doesn't get talked about enough
  553. 19:00with Muse
  554. 19:03Meadow was left for dead in June and on
  555. 19:07July 2nd it he had a town hall meeting
  556. 19:11or there was a report of a town hall
  557. 19:13meeting. Do you remember this?
  558. 19:14>> Yeah.
  559. 19:14>> And and he said the progress on what we
  560. 19:18found out later it said AI and like all
  561. 19:19the media but it was really their
  562. 19:21internal work on agents was not going at
  563. 19:23the pace they expected.
  564. 19:25>> How do you go from that point to Muse in
  565. 19:29two months?
  566. 19:29>> You want me to tell you how? I'll give
  567. 19:31you tell me how and then I'll tell you
  568. 19:32the facts.
  569. 19:33>> I heard that uh he moved his desk over
  570. 19:37to the Meta AI team and he sat there and
  571. 19:41I've seen him do it before. You know, he
  572. 19:42just wore rooms, all stuff, whatever.
  573. 19:44>> How do you, if you're on that team, not
  574. 19:46figure it out when the big boss says,
  575. 19:49"Hey, this is important."
  576. 19:50>> It was from applying pressure. Okay.
  577. 19:51Yeah. What do you think?
  578. 19:53>> Well, I'm going to show exactly what
  579. 19:55happened. Now, when I say exactly, I
  580. 19:57just want to make sure people know if
  581. 19:58you haven't done this before.
  582. 20:02Ask your LLM to say, "Hey, I want to
  583. 20:05figure out how we could go from this
  584. 20:07point to this point, and I want you to
  585. 20:10go through every public
  586. 20:13announcement by any employee that worked
  587. 20:16in that group there, whether it's a in
  588. 20:18Reddit, wherever it is." And then it
  589. 20:21puts together a timeline of the changes.
  590. 20:22A week after that news story came out,
  591. 20:25there was a breakthrough. So the reason
  592. 20:28this is important is whatever caused it,
  593. 20:32they started releasing new versions of
  594. 20:35Muse
  595. 20:36>> consistently just like Anthropic does.
  596. 20:38Like you could see they were making
  597. 20:40progress cuz each one they were cuz they
  598. 20:42were under pressure. This [snorts] is
  599. 20:43the reason why with this consumer agent
  600. 20:45point with Instinct and with Meta, you
  601. 20:48don't think OpenAI is now racing to get
  602. 20:50their agent out because they don't want
  603. 20:51to lose the eyeball battle.
  604. 20:53>> So right now Meta has this advantage,
  605. 20:56but we're going to start getting
  606. 20:58consumer
  607. 20:59consumer agent releases, personal
  608. 21:01assistance from everyone now.
  609. 21:02>> And so so what does a user do? Do they
  610. 21:04adopt all of them? Do they just pick one
  611. 21:06they like? How do they navigate this uh
  612. 21:08onslaught of everyone wants them to use
  613. 21:10their agent? This is where I I'm already
  614. 21:14locked into Muse. I It's I I my own
  615. 21:17experience is unlike an LLM, I've always
  616. 21:21used Chat GPT the most except for one
  617. 21:23little window when Claude Code went
  618. 21:25through it, but then I went right back
  619. 21:26to Chat GPT
  620. 21:28and I'm still I I like Astra better than
  621. 21:32than than But then again, we had two new
  622. 21:34releases this week. Opus 5.5 is just
  623. 21:36ridiculous. Um, but Muse, it's locked in
  624. 21:39because it has all my information now
  625. 21:41and it's doing all this work. It's
  626. 21:42connected to my emails. It's doing
  627. 21:44everything I want and I'm getting used
  628. 21:45to it and it's very hard for me to see
  629. 21:47that I would change it cuz I haven't run
  630. 21:49into anything yet where it made a
  631. 21:50mistake or did something wrong. It's
  632. 21:52really, really amazing. The reason I
  633. 21:54bring it up is as you're going through
  634. 21:56this thing and you're thinking about the
  635. 21:57importance of agents, you have to get
  636. 21:59back to the situational awareness thing.
  637. 22:01We're at a point where so much
  638. 22:04incredible stuff is happening and the
  639. 22:06media focuses on oh my god there was a
  640. 22:09hacking but at the same time we're
  641. 22:11making advancements with Navier Stokes
  642. 22:13and then Anthropic comes out with
  643. 22:15something on crisper.
  644. 22:18If you go through X, you'll get 50% of
  645. 22:20biologists and people saying, "This is
  646. 22:22BS. They're just releasing this for the
  647. 22:24IPO." And then I'm going, "Well, the
  648. 22:26only one I care about is the guy who is
  649. 22:29in Code Breaker,
  650. 22:32>> who is from MIT, who's one of the two
  651. 22:35renowned people in Crisper that said,
  652. 22:37"This is amazing. This is a
  653. 22:39breakthrough." Like, you're never going
  654. 22:41to get anything where it's signal. It's
  655. 22:43always going to be noise. There's always
  656. 22:45going to be half the population says
  657. 22:46it's not there. And that's just human
  658. 22:48beings. But where is no doubt that for
  659. 22:50the next 12 months, if you want to make
  660. 22:52money, you're going to have to make it
  661. 22:54on compute and on the guard rails for
  662. 22:57these agents because how many deals did
  663. 22:59Muse do this week with Shopify,
  664. 23:00Instacart, like it's just growing.
  665. 23:02PayPal, everything is happening. So, I
  666. 23:04think this is the critical point where
  667. 23:06the IQ has reached a level where we're
  668. 23:08at recursive self-improvement and every
  669. 23:10month is going to be another month of
  670. 23:11just advancements.
  671. 23:14>> What happens when Muse gets blocked by
  672. 23:16Amazon? which I think just happened and
  673. 23:19you want to use one. It has all your
  674. 23:22information, but a very key use case for
  675. 23:26that agent gets cut off, not because
  676. 23:28they made a mistake or anything, but
  677. 23:29because a competitor is trying to
  678. 23:32introduce that friction, reduce speed.
  679. 23:34>> Mh.
  680. 23:35>> Do you then have to go and adopt
  681. 23:36Amazon's agent? Or do you think it's a
  682. 23:39world where your Muse agent will then
  683. 23:41talk to an Amazon agent and that
  684. 23:44communication would be the same thing as
  685. 23:45you as a human going to the website, but
  686. 23:47now they're just going to create their
  687. 23:48own agent and agent to agent
  688. 23:49communication. I again I I think the
  689. 23:52issue is going to come you can't stop
  690. 23:55this like I I think when um Android came
  691. 23:58out verse Apple and you're trying to
  692. 24:02figure out can you use Uber on Android
  693. 24:05eventually or could I mean I think the
  694. 24:07friction they'll try to do whatever they
  695. 24:08can I think Amazon and they're all
  696. 24:10competing but in the end I don't see how
  697. 24:12to go will instinct be allowed to use
  698. 24:15all of them I mean I I I just don't see
  699. 24:18if Amazon wants to lose business because
  700. 24:20everyone's on Muse and everyone starts
  701. 24:22using Shopify or starts using Instacart
  702. 24:25instead of Amazon, then it'll just drive
  703. 24:29markets other places. So, it's not that
  704. 24:31they're going to end these things. I
  705. 24:32think in the end, uh they've got
  706. 24:34shareholders and if they take a
  707. 24:35decision, then it's like, okay, we're
  708. 24:36going to we're going to enter our own
  709. 24:38one and because we have the Amazon
  710. 24:40world, we're going to dominate. And then
  711. 24:42you've got Apple and Apple's going to
  712. 24:44have Siri. They're all I mean, this is
  713. 24:46going to be like a growing uh agentic
  714. 24:48side. I just don't see how they can
  715. 24:50block things off because then they're
  716. 24:52choosing silos and they're limiting the
  717. 24:54ability of controlling a lot of it and I
  718. 24:57just don't see how this is going to be
  719. 24:58anything more than the initial days and
  720. 25:00how they're dealing with this. I think
  721. 25:01in the end it's just going to be divvied
  722. 25:04up.
  723. 25:05>> It's fascinating to think about Black
  724. 25:07Rockck. They came out with a paper this
  725. 25:08week talking about AI and um crypto.
  726. 25:12Thank you for listening to the podcast
  727. 25:13the last [laughter] six months. Um I I
  728. 25:16thought that it was fantastically uh
  729. 25:17written or very well done. Um
  730. 25:20>> I would say 90% of it is very similar
  731. 25:22things that you've been talking about.
  732. 25:24Uh there is 10 or 15% though in there
  733. 25:26that I think they kind of have different
  734. 25:27viewpoints and some of it maybe because
  735. 25:29they're coming from more of a financial
  736. 25:30mindset and a traditional finance. Um
  737. 25:32but what I think people look back on the
  738. 25:35Bitcoin ETFs, the ETF was important, but
  739. 25:38the ETF really only happened once Uncle
  740. 25:41Larry said, "I'm ready to do an ETF."
  741. 25:43And then somehow it all got approved.
  742. 25:46>> Black Rockck writing the paper, there's
  743. 25:48a lot of papers that have been written
  744. 25:49about Bitcoin or crypto and AI.
  745. 25:51>> Y,
  746. 25:52>> but Black Rockck writing it again kind
  747. 25:54of is like, oh, okay, the adults in the
  748. 25:56room also agree now. Now it is for real.
  749. 25:59It feels like a contrarian viewpoint
  750. 26:01that just literally with the release of
  751. 26:03one paper goes from contrarian to
  752. 26:05consensus. Do you agree?
  753. 26:07>> Um, yeah. I think there was a targeted
  754. 26:09reason for the release though too based
  755. 26:11on the fact that in the same week they
  756. 26:12also put three funds on chain. So
  757. 26:16>> Oh, they have an agenda.
  758. 26:18>> Yeah. Well, yeah, an agenda is the
  759. 26:20right. They have a business and I think
  760. 26:21they're selling what they're doing and
  761. 26:23they're ahead of
  762. 26:24>> the banks. Yeah.
  763. 26:25>> So, uh they're trying to stay ahead on
  764. 26:28this just like Amazon's trying to not
  765. 26:30fall behind to Meta and Open AI. I mean,
  766. 26:33at the end of the day, the speed of
  767. 26:34change is going so rapidly and inside
  768. 26:37these walls, you have a lot to lose. So,
  769. 26:39on the flip side, when whenever I use
  770. 26:41Michael Sailor's line of [snorts] you
  771. 26:44don't find Bitcoin, Bitcoin finds you,
  772. 26:45which is a reference to the fact that
  773. 26:47until you actually need Bitcoin, you're
  774. 26:49not going to care. I think the same
  775. 26:52thing happens with AI. I think every
  776. 26:54time something happens in artificial
  777. 26:56intelligence, there's a fear of the SAS
  778. 26:58apocalypse in in in your name or
  779. 27:00whatever. And we see this time and time
  780. 27:01again where something will fall 30, 40,
  781. 27:0350%. A lot of the software names have
  782. 27:05not come back. And like I said with
  783. 27:07Salesforce, Salesforce has bounced, but
  784. 27:09it's still down 10% year-to- date and
  785. 27:11it's down 15% over the last 5 years. Um,
  786. 27:14is that good? That's that's not
  787. 27:16something you want to invest in. Um, and
  788. 27:19again, Bitcoin is down significantly
  789. 27:21from the highs. So, you can make the
  790. 27:22argument if you just pick this cherry
  791. 27:24pick this this point of time. Um, I I I
  792. 27:27think this is going to be a
  793. 27:28disruptionfilled point and I think
  794. 27:30everyone's trying to get the jump on
  795. 27:31anyone. BlackRock has a huge advantage
  796. 27:33as some place that people trust from a
  797. 27:37asset manager perspective that has
  798. 27:39already made this big commitment to
  799. 27:43crypto, but they don't. I mean,
  800. 27:45Fidelity's there, Franklin Templeton's
  801. 27:47there. It's not like they're the only
  802. 27:49ones. Uh I think the entire side is
  803. 27:51trying to drive the Morgan Stanley's,
  804. 27:54the Bank Americans, the Goldman Sachs to
  805. 27:55make sure that they're focused on it and
  806. 27:57they didn't really get focused on it
  807. 27:58honestly until what the last year maybe
  808. 28:00the last it's been this year that they
  809. 28:03were kind of forced into it. So there is
  810. 28:05a fear of missing out and that's the
  811. 28:07other part of the FOMO when you really
  812. 28:08look and you don't think about the
  813. 28:10charts or you don't think about anything
  814. 28:11like what's happened this year in
  815. 28:13crypto.
  816. 28:16A lot's gone on. I know people don't
  817. 28:18like the word crypto. It's amazing to
  818. 28:19me. I like I like provoking uh anger in
  819. 28:22people. They were digital assets.
  820. 28:25I was talking to someone yesterday who
  821. 28:27you had on who you connected us with who
  822. 28:29I brought up NFTTS like what's a bad
  823. 28:31word. Yeah, I get it. What do you want
  824. 28:33to call it? I was like digital assets.
  825. 28:35Everything's a digital asset now. It's
  826. 28:36acceptable. So, I think the whole
  827. 28:38industry is in a chase mode and I just
  828. 28:39think Black Rockck has the biggest
  829. 28:41audience and the easiest time to do this
  830. 28:43stuff. Today's episode is brought to you
  831. 28:45by Galaxy 1. A lot of people got their
  832. 28:47money working for them, but the question
  833. 28:49now, how hard is it working? Well, the
  834. 28:51folks over at Galaxy 1, they're taking a
  835. 28:53very different approach. [music]
  836. 28:54Everyone earns 3.5% APY using Galaxy 1
  837. 28:58Cash. And if you make over $200,000 a
  838. 29:01year, that means you're probably an
  839. 29:02accredited investor. And then you can
  840. 29:04earn up to 8% on your cash guaranteed by
  841. 29:07Galaxy Digital. The best part though is
  842. 29:10that you can actually set it so that
  843. 29:11your yield immediately is reinvested
  844. 29:13into your favorite stocks, crypto, or
  845. 29:16ETFs. You don't got to think about it
  846. 29:18every single month. It just
  847. 29:19automatically does it for you. That's
  848. 29:20why I love Galaxy 1. So, if your cash
  849. 29:23isn't working as hard as you are, then
  850. 29:24it's time to make a move. Check out the

  883. 30:36week we talked a lot about the agents
  884. 30:38and uh a number of things that now I
  885. 30:40think are moving rapidly in a matter of
  886. 30:42weeks from contrarian to consensus. Uh
  887. 30:45on Monday, Meta gapped up almost 15% or
  888. 30:49so. Uh I don't know if we get a pat on
  889. 30:51the back. Maybe we get like a little
  890. 30:52golf clap, right? Um what is your
  891. 30:55thought process on like okay, we know
  892. 30:57the consumer agents are going to become
  893. 30:58a thing. People are already adopting
  894. 31:00them. You and I are adopting them. We're
  895. 31:02using them very aggressively. What does
  896. 31:03that mean for the companies? Black
  897. 31:06Rockck's talking about this. Meta's
  898. 31:07building this. Like, do all of these
  899. 31:09companies actually see it flow through
  900. 31:11to performance and ultimately higher
  901. 31:13stock prices, or is there maybe a period
  902. 31:15of time where there's tons of adoption,
  903. 31:18but stock prices don't really reflect
  904. 31:20that until they can show that they can
  905. 31:21actually monetize these services?
  906. 31:24I think the market on Monday uh set a
  907. 31:29very similar framework to what happened
  908. 31:31with semiconductors saying oh my god the
  909. 31:34agent world started today how do we make
  910. 31:36money off agents
  911. 31:39I think the disappointment will come and
  912. 31:42again how you measure the monetary
  913. 31:45benefits to Meta well now they get the
  914. 31:47benefit of the doubt because they have
  915. 31:48this growth engine so if you can find
  916. 31:50anything positive in there it offsets
  917. 31:53the debt that they've been taking the
  918. 31:55fact that the Mag 7 broke to all-time
  919. 31:57highs on the same day. And last week I
  920. 31:59did talk about the fact and I did on my
  921. 32:01my my weekend show that the Mag 7 all
  922. 32:04benefit from the agentic side in some
  923. 32:07way. I mean Amazon has Alexa, Apple has
  924. 32:10Siri, Google has Gemini. Like they're
  925. 32:13all ways that you're going to benefit on
  926. 32:14this by having a personal assistant. I
  927. 32:16mean for Muse, imagine if Google said,
  928. 32:18"I'm not you can't access my
  929. 32:21my account." I I it would it would be
  930. 32:23very very difficult to to go through.
  931. 32:25Now Muse can absolutely help me with
  932. 32:28Amazon because they just sign in under
  933. 32:30my name and go through it. And that's
  934. 32:31the beauty of like, well, how do you
  935. 32:32know it's not me? You can't buy things
  936. 32:34then. Okay, great. But can you do the
  937. 32:36research and tell me what I should look
  938. 32:37for and go through it? That is one of
  939. 32:38the powers of Muse, by the way. people
  940. 32:40haven't used it. If you're taking a trip
  941. 32:43and you want to go find restaurants in a
  942. 32:45city, one of the things I hate the most
  943. 32:48about the way search works is when you
  944. 32:50type that in, you get whatever papers
  945. 32:53and advertisers have been paid to do
  946. 32:55that. When you use Muse, you you you
  947. 32:57>> get the answer.
  948. 32:57>> You get the answer. Um, so I I think the
  949. 33:00the marketing
  950. 33:01>> You're saying Muse is a filter?
  951. 33:03>> Uh, to a to a degree. That's it's it's
  952. 33:05it's really hurting. I I don't
  953. 33:07understand still the advertising side.
  954. 33:09So I don't understand this whole thing
  955. 33:10of people being excited about ads
  956. 33:12personally. I just
  957. 33:13>> ads in inmuse
  958. 33:16>> like anything regarding ads. When I hear
  959. 33:18consumer agents
  960. 33:21I I'm thinking that agents will be
  961. 33:23making decisions with no preferences. I
  962. 33:26don't know why people don't understand
  963. 33:27this. Like human beings
  964. 33:30McDonald's putting a a photo of a
  965. 33:32burger. No offense to anyone listening
  966. 33:34from McDonald's but I don't eat
  967. 33:36McDonald's. And so when I see a photo I
  968. 33:39know and they try to make it look good.
  969. 33:40>> It's best restaurant in America.
  970. 33:43>> It definitely controls a lot of the food
  971. 33:45supply in the country. Um
  972. 33:47>> based
  973. 33:49what is an AI agent going to make
  974. 33:50decisions on? They're going to make them
  975. 33:52based on price, reviews, all of these
  976. 33:54different things, but it's not going to
  977. 33:55be based on advertising. So maybe that's
  978. 33:57not today, but eventually it is. So when
  979. 33:59I hear people talk about consumer
  980. 34:00behavior, I think the agent side is
  981. 34:02still going to be compute. So for
  982. 34:04everyone who's like worried about
  983. 34:06semiconductors and stuff, watch this
  984. 34:09Sunday when I show you where we are. The
  985. 34:13compute needs just went up
  986. 34:14exponentially.
  987. 34:16Remember Meta has built a huge data
  988. 34:19center in in in Louisiana. Why?
  989. 34:23They're not selling the compute.
  990. 34:25Remember that was the story back in
  991. 34:26June. Also, they didn't sell any.
  992. 34:28They're not doing what they actually
  993. 34:30have a need for it. Why do they have a
  994. 34:31need for it? because of their consumer
  995. 34:33agents and at some point this week there
  996. 34:35was a weight list where you couldn't get
  997. 34:36on just like it was for Instinct. So I
  998. 34:38think consumer agents is going to lead
  999. 34:39to enormous amount of compute. I do
  1000. 34:40think there'll be a buzz trade for MAG 7
  1001. 34:43and things like that. I don't think
  1002. 34:44they're going to outperform the S&P. I
  1003. 34:46think they'll [snorts] outperform small
  1004. 34:47caps as people get panicked because of
  1005. 34:49rates and because of oil. But in the end
  1006. 34:51I do think that you can make money off
  1007. 34:52this. But I think the place where you
  1008. 34:53want to go and what are the agents
  1009. 34:55using? They're using crypto. What do
  1010. 34:57they need? They need compute. Those are
  1011. 34:59the trades. Are you telling me that
  1012. 35:02there's going to be zero ability to
  1013. 35:04create like a cute agent that can flirt
  1014. 35:06with somebody else's agent to get a
  1015. 35:08sale? That's not going to be a thing.
  1016. 35:09>> It's not going to be a thing.
  1017. 35:10>> All right. Well, there's some businesses
  1018. 35:11that going to be in trouble there. Um,
  1019. 35:14when you think through everything that's
  1020. 35:16happening in the product side, one
  1021. 35:19aspect that I think people are starting
  1022. 35:21to almost forget about is there's a huge
  1023. 35:23technical side to this. And Mused, I
  1024. 35:26think the beauty of it is like you have
  1025. 35:28no clue what model they're using. You
  1026. 35:29have no clue how much to compute costs.
  1027. 35:33You don't know a token. The average
  1028. 35:35person's never even heard that term,
  1029. 35:36right? All they know is there's a piece
  1030. 35:38of software that is a product. I tell it
  1031. 35:41to do something, it does it. It's magic.
  1032. 35:43>> On the technical side, uh, recently
  1033. 35:45Doresh sat down with Nome Brown and, uh,
  1034. 35:48it was pretty interesting conversation.
  1035. 35:49What were your main takeaways?
  1036. 35:52Uh I
  1037. 35:55lately my AI listening on podcast has
  1038. 35:59gone down.
  1039. 36:00>> Okay. Interesting.
  1040. 36:01>> And the reason is
  1041. 36:03someone who we both know asked me this
  1042. 36:05yesterday because uh they're at the
  1043. 36:07moonshots uh event and I sat back and I
  1044. 36:13said here's the deal. When things are
  1045. 36:16changing so fast,
  1046. 36:19it's almost useless to listen to what
  1047. 36:21happened in the prior week because the
  1048. 36:23next week there's a whole new thing. So
  1049. 36:26unless it's something that's like
  1050. 36:27earthshattering like Opus 5.5 releasing
  1051. 36:31doesn't change anything. Chat GPT6 and
  1052. 36:34Soul Luna doesn't change anything.
  1053. 36:36>> I literally don't even think most people
  1054. 36:38>> care anymore when these new things
  1055. 36:40unless it is a huge step function
  1056. 36:42change.
  1057. 36:42>> Exactly. the iterative nobody
  1058. 36:44>> it does it it doesn't matter and Astra I
  1059. 36:46said it to people I I'm not going to
  1060. 36:48care anymore this thing is so good that
  1061. 36:51it does everything that I needed to do
  1062. 36:53which wasn't the case before and so the
  1063. 36:55time between them so that's the reason
  1064. 36:57>> one aspect of this I think is very
  1065. 36:58interesting is when we look at uh
  1066. 37:01measurements inside of Sylvia and we're
  1067. 37:04measuring let's say uh accuracy or uh
  1068. 37:06efficacy on certain benchmarks
  1069. 37:10we continue to talk internally without
  1070. 37:12an
  1071. 37:13Let's say that Opus scores 88 and the
  1072. 37:17Sylvia model scores 91 and let's say
  1073. 37:22maybe chat GBT whatever version scores
  1074. 37:2486.
  1075. 37:26Can a human tell the difference between
  1076. 37:2886 88 and 91? Probably not.
  1077. 37:31>> Yeah.
  1078. 37:33>> Can a human tell the difference between
  1079. 37:3540 and 90? Absolutely.
  1080. 37:37>> Yeah. But one of the questions is like
  1081. 37:39what is the the band of the human eye
  1082. 37:42cannot you know identify the difference
  1083. 37:44and I think that what you're talking
  1084. 37:45about in these new model releases
  1085. 37:47they're within the band of to the user
  1086. 37:49it's the same thing.
  1087. 37:50>> Y
  1088. 37:50>> and what you need is you need these
  1089. 37:51breakouts people only care when it is
  1090. 37:54obvious to them.
  1091. 37:55>> So before I I I go through what I am
  1092. 37:57listening to and and why this has
  1093. 38:00changed and the nome brown situation.
  1094. 38:02So, there was one that came out this
  1095. 38:03week, a benchmark that um Astra I think
  1096. 38:06got 100% and and and
  1097. 38:09Fable got 45.
  1098. 38:11>> Oo. This was a driving benchmark. So, it
  1099. 38:15was a driving from what I saw
  1100. 38:17simulation.
  1101. 38:18>> Okay.
  1102. 38:18>> And so, they had to learn
  1103. 38:20>> a fake test for a fake action
  1104. 38:21>> of course. Yeah. and they had to do it
  1105. 38:24and Astra ended up being able to do it
  1106. 38:26on like the second try and I'm not sure
  1107. 38:29that uh Fable finished the course. The
  1108. 38:32reason I bring that up is not to say
  1109. 38:34well this one's better than this. It's
  1110. 38:35to say that we're getting into the point
  1111. 38:37now where humanoids robotics full
  1112. 38:39self-driving become something important.
  1113. 38:42Remember um making snap decisions at a
  1114. 38:44given point and having the vision to
  1115. 38:46incorporate that and learning as you go
  1116. 38:48along it's going to take an enormous
  1117. 38:49amount of compute. So this is the
  1118. 38:51beginning of showing how the models are
  1119. 38:53now entering next stage. It's funny how
  1120. 38:55many people go. The images you have on
  1121. 38:58these slides on the weekend are so good.
  1122. 39:00Where do you do them? You guys don't
  1123. 39:03know how to do them. So again, I used to
  1124. 39:06use nano banana a long time ago. That
  1125. 39:07stopped. I remember
  1126. 39:08>> and and it has been chatbt since then.
  1127. 39:11But it's amazing to me that people don't
  1128. 39:12use them. I I mean I use it all day long
  1129. 39:14because I'm a visual learner. I prefer
  1130. 39:16it that way. All right. The gnome brown
  1131. 39:17thing because I think it's really
  1132. 39:18important
  1133. 39:18>> from open AI. Yes, from Anome Brown from
  1134. 39:21OpenAI sat down with Dwar
  1135. 39:24there. There will be points if people
  1136. 39:25listen to it because Dwar is so he can
  1137. 39:28talk to an open AI researcher. So, one
  1138. 39:32of the smartest AI reachers in the
  1139. 39:34researchers in the world, he can speak
  1140. 39:35to him at eye to eye level and talk
  1141. 39:37about things. You're like, I don't
  1142. 39:38understand what that means. I'm the
  1143. 39:39same. Like, there's certain things I'm
  1144. 39:41like, skip to the part I care about. So,
  1145. 39:44there's two parts that are really
  1146. 39:45important. So I think what I'm really
  1147. 39:46good at is consuming a lot of
  1148. 39:47information and then picking out the two
  1149. 39:49or three things that are I want to
  1150. 39:51double click on. And there were two
  1151. 39:54things in there based on the traffic
  1152. 39:55coming to me. One was the hugging face
  1153. 39:57thing which no one Brown is a big part
  1154. 39:58of and he talked about it. You go in
  1155. 40:01there and he made this phrase the most
  1156. 40:03important line in the entire thing. We
  1157. 40:05underestimated
  1158. 40:07the capabilities of AI.
  1159. 40:10>> We won't Yeah. And we won't
  1160. 40:12underestimate it again. I think every
  1161. 40:16parent goes through that. So I want to
  1162. 40:17make sure you have that analogy.
  1163. 40:20At some point you underestimate your
  1164. 40:24child's ability to do something that you
  1165. 40:26were taking for granted. So I think for
  1166. 40:29people who are scared of oh these things
  1167. 40:31are rogue and they're going to go over.
  1168. 40:32No, it was the humans underestimating.
  1169. 40:35It's the most important line in there in
  1170. 40:37terms of okay on the second part they
  1171. 40:40spent a lot of time on where the model
  1172. 40:42is now. and they talked about Navier
  1173. 40:43Stokes and that is a really important
  1174. 40:46thing. That's where Muse fits in. We've
  1175. 40:48entered in the last two months a very
  1176. 40:52important point and it gets back to he
  1177. 40:54admitted we're in that parabolic side of
  1178. 40:56situational awareness. He said it the as
  1179. 40:59as important as the agents are working
  1180. 41:01together and he describes how they work
  1181. 41:03together. It's unbelievable.
  1182. 41:06It is the model itself that has reached
  1183. 41:10the levels of being able to solve the
  1184. 41:11problems. So we are at a point of time
  1185. 41:15where breakthroughs are going to be
  1186. 41:16coming that are going to blow your mind.
  1187. 41:18Number one, that is not a time to be
  1188. 41:20bearish on stocks, [snorts] science
  1189. 41:22breakthroughs, cancer curing, stuff like
  1190. 41:24that. We're going to be having
  1191. 41:25breakthrough after breakthrough after
  1192. 41:27breakthrough. That's why the anthropic
  1193. 41:29news combined with this. So if you're
  1194. 41:30looking at the hugging face thing going,
  1195. 41:32"The world's going to end." It could.
  1196. 41:35And I've heard people describe how it
  1197. 41:37could happen. And I can I actually can
  1198. 41:39get to the point that if you combine
  1199. 41:40humanoids and they're on the planet and
  1200. 41:42rogue people, whatever, I can get there.
  1201. 41:45It's not going to happen. But I think
  1202. 41:46the more important thing is the
  1203. 41:48capabilities of it have reached a level
  1204. 41:50that the productivity, if you look at
  1205. 41:52that situational awareness thing, it's
  1206. 41:53going to go through the roof.
  1207. 41:55>> One more statement on this because I
  1208. 41:56said this down in DC. I've actually
  1209. 41:58reached a point of of thinking it is it
  1210. 42:02is just as wrong for people to say
  1211. 42:05everyone's going to lose their jobs,
  1212. 42:07okay, as the other side, which is to be
  1213. 42:10naive enough to then tell the same
  1214. 42:12people those they're just scaring you.
  1215. 42:15Nobody's going to lose their job. We're
  1216. 42:17going to create more jobs. That also is
  1217. 42:19not being honest cuz that sets you up
  1218. 42:21say I don't have to do anything. You
  1219. 42:23know what the right message is for
  1220. 42:24everyone listening? If you're older and
  1221. 42:27you're near retirement and you don't
  1222. 42:28care about your job,
  1223. 42:30>> okay, fine.
  1224. 42:31>> Yeah.
  1225. 42:32>> For your kids though, they need to use
  1226. 42:34AI. End of story. Like, if you're not
  1227. 42:37embracing AI, if you're not thinking, if
  1228. 42:38you're you get smarter, you whatever
  1229. 42:41everyone thinks of me, I spend a lot of
  1230. 42:43time trying to use AI to get smarter, to
  1231. 42:46use AI to build things, to use AI. I'm a
  1232. 42:48builder. I like to do it. This is going
  1233. 42:50to be an age of entrepreneurship, which
  1234. 42:53means you're going to have freedom. You
  1235. 42:54don't have to work for someone. Work,
  1236. 42:57job are bad words in my opinion. I don't
  1237. 42:58know why people want them. They want
  1238. 43:00them for identity. I get that. Smith
  1239. 43:02viser means fisherman. I get it. That's
  1240. 43:04what our lives have been about. But
  1241. 43:06don't you want to work for yourself and
  1242. 43:08don't you want to make money and don't
  1243. 43:09you want to go through it? I believe
  1244. 43:10investing and letting your money
  1245. 43:11compound at the same time as finding
  1246. 43:13ways to drive income is what it is. It's
  1247. 43:15not about working for someone. It's
  1248. 43:17about how do I make income and turn that
  1249. 43:19into more money. The people who are the
  1250. 43:21wealthiest on the planet, they don't get
  1251. 43:23paid a big b paycheck. Their money they
  1252. 43:26turned into more money. That's your
  1253. 43:28story. That's my story. I turned money
  1254. 43:30into more money by investing it and
  1255. 43:32going through it. And I think if
  1256. 43:33everyone just focuses, and that's why I
  1257. 43:35try to preach on the videos, learn AI,
  1258. 43:38understand the markets, understand
  1259. 43:39crypto, and you're going to be ahead of
  1260. 43:40the game from the people that control
  1261. 43:42most of the world's money. And that's
  1262. 43:43the way you make money is being in front
  1263. 43:44of the people. Back to the Peter Lynch
  1264. 43:47story. Bitcoin has hung in there where
  1265. 43:50we started this conversation. It is now
  1266. 43:53seems to be consolidating around 83 to
  1267. 43:56$87,000.
  1268. 43:58Is that a consolidation before a dump
  1269. 44:01back down into the 70s? Is that a
  1270. 44:03consolidation that then should lead to
  1271. 44:04another breakout? How do you think about
  1272. 44:06Bitcoin over the next six months?
  1273. 44:09Well, as I've been saying, I the reason
  1274. 44:11I wanted to create an index is to
  1275. 44:13separate what's happening in Bitcoin
  1276. 44:15from the ecosystem because I think the
  1277. 44:17ecosystem should be benefiting from the
  1278. 44:19agentic side and Bitcoin should be uh
  1279. 44:22benefiting from the ecosystem
  1280. 44:24benefiting. Uh I don't believe in the so
  1281. 44:26at some point in innovation
  1282. 44:29you go from liquidity to fundamentals
  1283. 44:32and I believe we're at the fundamental
  1284. 44:34stage now. Bitcoin doesn't fit in that
  1285. 44:36fundamental argument. Um, it's really
  1286. 44:39more for, hey, we're going to have a lot
  1287. 44:41more developers showing up here. We're
  1288. 44:42going to start building lots of things
  1289. 44:43because Robin Hood chain is driving.
  1290. 44:45Like, it's all these different
  1291. 44:46components that are getting people
  1292. 44:47excited about the fundamentals. And if
  1293. 44:49I'm right, what should be happening is
  1294. 44:51what's happening, which is tenure rates
  1295. 44:53have now gone higher by almost 100 basis
  1296. 44:56points.
  1297. 44:58And I think for the quarter, let's
  1298. 44:59assume it's up 60 70 basis points for
  1299. 45:02the quarter. The quarter is coming to an
  1300. 45:04end soon. And Bitcoin's up 60% for the
  1301. 45:07quarter with rates with tenure rates
  1302. 45:08going higher.
  1303. 45:10>> Is that good?
  1304. 45:11>> Yeah, that's good. And gold's not going
  1305. 45:13higher. This is not a liquidity
  1306. 45:15debasement trade. This is a fundamental
  1307. 45:17trade. So, uh, the fact that this
  1308. 45:20morning Salana was trading at 121 and
  1309. 45:23was up another 4% and it's moving in a
  1310. 45:26different way. I think these are all
  1311. 45:28signs
  1312. 45:30that money is looking into the space and
  1313. 45:32they're like, "Hey, this thing is
  1314. 45:33trading more volume." where RWA is going
  1315. 45:36to fit in. What's the growth rate of
  1316. 45:37this? Let me look at Hyperlquid. I just
  1317. 45:39think people are UN or they're doing the
  1318. 45:40homework. And that's why I said the
  1319. 45:42homework is happening at the end of this
  1320. 45:44year, which will be investments for next
  1321. 45:46year, but it's going to show up after we
  1322. 45:48get through the midterms. So, I don't
  1323. 45:50know when we're going to start kind of
  1324. 45:52the the the rally in stocks that allows
  1325. 45:55this to continue. It could happen in
  1326. 45:57December. It could happen before the
  1327. 45:58midterms and then go sideways. Uh, but I
  1328. 46:01definitely think as the MAG7 broke out
  1329. 46:02to new highs this week and as people are
  1330. 46:04worried about breath and they're worried
  1331. 46:05about all these things, the amount of
  1332. 46:08Google trend stock market crash,
  1333. 46:11everyone go look at it. Go look at the
  1334. 46:13last week
  1335. 46:15up to the highs of the year got to 100%.
  1336. 46:18So, as far as I'm concerned, people are
  1337. 46:19worried about something going on because
  1338. 46:21they're seeing all these things on
  1339. 46:22breath. They're seeing oil going higher.
  1340. 46:24They're seeing rates go higher. And I
  1341. 46:26said it in DC. I don't know if I said it
  1342. 46:27on this show, but I'll say it again. I
  1343. 46:30was in China in 2008 in May
  1344. 46:34just months before Lehman Brothers
  1345. 46:37collapsed.
  1346. 46:38Oil was at 155.
  1347. 46:41Here we are now 18 years later.
  1348. 46:46Oil is 100 and it's not even 100, but
  1349. 46:49let's just say 100.
  1350. 46:52155 verse 100. So it's down. You know
  1351. 46:56how much household net worth has gone
  1352. 46:59up? You know how much the economy has
  1353. 47:00gone up? You know how much disposable
  1354. 47:02income has gone higher? How can oil
  1355. 47:06matter in the long term? Can it freak
  1356. 47:09people out? Yeah. But if you're
  1357. 47:11listening to people my age or higher
  1358. 47:13telling you that oil matters and they're
  1359. 47:15giving you 1970 stuff just like they
  1360. 47:18told you about tariffs from Smoot Holly
  1361. 47:20and all the other things that have gone
  1362. 47:22on and they bring out all of these time
  1363. 47:24periods. These are just people that
  1364. 47:27don't need to be bullish. That's the end
  1365. 47:30story. They want to be bearish because
  1366. 47:32they're not making money in this period
  1367. 47:34because they believe that the world's
  1368. 47:36going to end from the death of the 40
  1369. 47:39trillion. And as I wrote in my token
  1370. 47:41tokenization paper this week, there's
  1371. 47:44195 trillion in the US net, not gross,
  1372. 47:49net. So take out the debt for
  1373. 47:51households. 95 trillion as of June and
  1374. 47:5640 trillion of debt. We're worried about
  1375. 47:59the 40 trillion when the households have
  1376. 48:02195 trillion. Tokenization
  1377. 48:06will turn that 195 trillion into
  1378. 48:09liquidity. That's going to happen over
  1379. 48:11the next 5 years. So, you can doubt it.
  1380. 48:13You can say Jord's crazy. Just go look
  1381. 48:16up tokenization and what's happening and
  1382. 48:18go read the Black Rockck Black Rockck
  1383. 48:19report. That's a lot of money that goes
  1384. 48:21to liquidity. We never need to print
  1385. 48:24again.
  1386. 48:25>> Ladies and gentlemen, we're not going to
  1387. 48:26die. I promise the world is going to be
  1388. 48:28better in the future than it is in the
  1389. 48:29past. The doomers are wrong. Jordi is
