Is Bitcoin About to Shock Everyone in Q4? — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I think most of what's driving crypto
- 0:01right now is a combination of new
- 0:04players coming in. This is what a bull
- 0:06market is about. And you're right, FOMO
- 0:08is going to start to kick in very, very
- 0:09soon. I said before when Bitcoin got
- 0:11above 82,000, that was the confirmation
- 0:13[music] of the bull trend. I think we're
- 0:15in that. The fundamental side's getting
- 0:17stronger and stronger by the day. I I
- 0:20think we're at a point where this stuff
- 0:22is about to [music] kind of take off,
- 0:23particularly with what happened today
- 0:25with the What's going on, guys? Today,
- 0:27we got a great conversation with Jordy
- 0:28Visser. In this one, we're going to talk
- 0:30about what's going on in the macro
- 0:31world. Why are people so fearful when
- 0:32the data actually says you should be
- 0:34bullish? What's going on in AI? Why is
- 0:36the rise of personal AI assistance very
- 0:38bullish for token consumption or the big
- 0:40model labs actually coming under
- 0:42pressure or not? Jord and I disagree and
- 0:44then we agree on a big topic that I
- 0:45think you're going to enjoy. And then we
- 0:46talk about crypto, public equities, and
- 0:48what he sees going on in people's
- 0:50portfolios, how the end of the year
- 0:51should go, where we're going next year,
- 0:53and maybe he even gives a little bit of
- 0:55alpha, something he calls the micron
- 0:57moment, which I think that all of you
- 0:58will be very interested in. Here's my
- 1:00latest conversation with Jordi Visser.
- 1:02All right, Jordy, it seems like every
- 1:04single person I talk to from the
- 1:05traditional world, they are freaking out
- 1:07about macro factors. They're saying
- 1:08interest rates are going up, oil's at
- 1:10100, the 10-year keeps going higher.
- 1:12They are so worried that the big crash,
- 1:15the Michael Bur moment is coming. I
- 1:17don't get the sense that you agree.
- 1:20I actually think it's stupid.
- 1:22Podcast over. I I mean, I've posted an X
- 1:28a bunch about this this week. I did a
- 1:30subscriber video and I had like 25
- 1:32slides of of why this is just add it to
- 1:37the list of doomer stuff that comes out.
- 1:41uh tariffs and the war and oil's going
- 1:45to infinity and all of these things. So
- 1:47this is the way the economy works.
- 1:52We have a very diverse economy in the
- 1:54US. We have a diverse stock market.
- 1:56Theoretically, we have 500 names in the
- 1:58S&P 500.
- 2:00Rates mattered a lot before the great
- 2:02financial crisis. They mattered a lot
- 2:04into the great financial crisis because
- 2:06the economy was built on autos, housing.
- 2:10Um that's why we created things like the
- 2:12leading economic indicators. We have
- 2:14what's called financial conditions
- 2:16index. Everything changed after the
- 2:18great financial crisis. So the first
- 2:21thing about rates are everyone's like
- 2:23we're at 20-year highs for rates. Well,
- 2:26let's just go back to what that means.
- 2:27That means by definition rates just
- 2:29before the great financial crisis. I'm
- 2:31not sure anyone got the memo, but to
- 2:34save us from the great financial crisis,
- 2:36they had to move rates to zero and then
- 2:38we stayed at zero for a long time to get
- 2:42us out of the problem. So really what's
- 2:45happened to rates is they've normalized.
- 2:46Nominal GDP is six and change percent.
- 2:49Historically 10ear rates should be 200
- 2:51basis points above. Now let's say it's
- 2:53about it. That changed in 1997. So let's
- 2:56say it just goes to even. We're still
- 2:59cheap relative to nominal GDP. Now, that
- 3:02matters because GDP is growing at six
- 3:04and a half percent. Theoretically, if
- 3:06you just take what that is, that means
- 3:08you'd have to have rates above it to
- 3:10where it would be difficult to make
- 3:11money if that's kind of how much money
- 3:12you can make investing wise or
- 3:14transaction-wise, business-wise.
- 3:17>> But that's not the case. So, with inside
- 3:19the S&P 500 are a lot of zombie
- 3:22companies. I mean, I hate to say it, but
- 3:26home builders don't make much money
- 3:27these days. Auto companies, Ford, GM,
- 3:30>> is that stuff just interest rate driven,
- 3:33or do you think that is like a
- 3:34structural change in the market and home
- 3:37builders, as an example, are going to
- 3:39have a tough time for the next 20 years?
- 3:41>> I think home builders are going to have
- 3:43a tough time for ever. Um, I think the
- 3:46economy is changing. I think
- 3:47demographics are changing. I think the
- 3:49way people view um mobilization having
- 3:53the flexibility of moving from state to
- 3:55state, country to country, that's been a
- 3:57change with the younger generation for
- 4:00some time. The old I go to college, I
- 4:02get a job, I buy a house after I, you
- 4:05know, I have kids and then I stay there
- 4:06for 30, 40 years. That doesn't exist
- 4:08anymore. And so, we don't have enough
- 4:11housing in the country. So, do I think
- 4:12there'll be more apartments and things
- 4:14like that? Yeah. Do I think Airbnb will
- 4:16be? Yeah, I think all of those things
- 4:17will happen. But to compare the economy,
- 4:19and this is the best way to do it, and
- 4:21this is what I'm including in this
- 4:22week's video. If you take the revenue
- 4:24for Micron and Nvidia in 2015, so 11
- 4:28years ago,
- 4:29>> and you compare that to Ford, GM, and
- 4:31the Homebuilders,
- 4:33you're talking about Ford, GM, and the
- 4:35Homebuilders being like almost 20 times
- 4:37the size of the annual revenue for
- 4:40Micron, Nvidia. And now you fast
- 4:41forward, Micron and Nvidia alone have
- 4:44more than those those the homebuilders
- 4:47plus Ford and and GM. But even worse
- 4:50than that,
- 4:52the expectations of revenue growth for
- 4:54the next year for Nvidia are almost the
- 4:57entire size of the revenue that will be
- 4:59generated. We just have a completely
- 5:01different economy. And so when people
- 5:03roll this stuff out, once it starts
- 5:05with, oh, every time this has happened
- 5:08over the past 50 years, X happens. This
- 5:10is not the same economy. And I'll just
- 5:12as as both being sports fans, they
- 5:15changed the rules in the NFL. You know,
- 5:17you used to be able to use stick them on
- 5:19your hands to, you know, grab intercept
- 5:21the ball. You could hold on to someone,
- 5:23you wouldn't let go. A lot of different
- 5:24rules. You can't touch anyone in the NFL
- 5:26anymore. You can't touch the
- 5:27quarterback. Is it fair to compare stats
- 5:29of the 1970s and 80s to today? Of course
- 5:33not. But somehow or another, macro
- 5:35people that are in their 50s that never
- 5:37touch AI, and that's my big beef is that
- 5:40if you actually used AI and you saw
- 5:42where things were going, you actually
- 5:44saw the productivity gains, you'd
- 5:45recognize that the economy's changed. So
- 5:47that's why whether it's oil, whether
- 5:48it's rates, it's not the same economy as
- 5:51before 2007. And that's because of the
- 5:53iPhone.
- 5:54>> Do are you aware of any measurement that
- 5:55basically looks at uh sector-based
- 5:58dollar flows? So like, you know, there's
- 6:00capital flows. people pay attention to
- 6:01macro in terms of uh liquidity cycles
- 6:03and things like that. But it's a very
- 6:04interesting way to think about okay how
- 6:06much aggregate dollars are going towards
- 6:09home builders and the revenue and profit
- 6:11that's growing there versus maybe some
- 6:12of these other sectors and and the
- 6:14reason I immediately am intrigued by
- 6:16that is it's not just that oh Micron and
- 6:19Nvidia were low and now they're high.
- 6:21It's that they're actually accelerating.
- 6:23And so if you look at this not as a
- 6:25static thing but a dynamic trend they
- 6:28should pull away very aggressively here
- 6:30and then the question becomes okay well
- 6:33what are the sectors that are getting
- 6:35hammered you mentioned housing and car
- 6:37manufacturing but I don't know I could
- 6:39probably think of very quickly 10 or 12
- 6:41you know different types of businesses
- 6:42that are all going to be in somewhat of
- 6:44a static you know um kind of environment
- 6:47going forward
- 6:48>> I mean there's a huge opportunity to
- 6:50just take capital out of those sectors
- 6:52>> Yep. and rotate them over and almost
- 6:55indiscriminate of names. It is just
- 6:57literally where is the momentum and
- 6:59growth coming from
- 7:02like a Buffett style approach. I don't
- 7:04think that buying things for less than
- 7:06they're worth is ever going to go out of
- 7:07style, but just like buying quote
- 7:10unquote good, strong, cash flowing
- 7:11businesses feels like that type of value
- 7:14investor may have a tough time going
- 7:16forward.
- 7:16>> So, let's go back to 2015. So, the other
- 7:20thing that I did is, and let's take it
- 7:22back to the iPhone. So, when the iPhone,
- 7:24believe it or not, when the iPhone came
- 7:26out, remember that was at the end of a
- 7:297-year bare market in technology. So, we
- 7:32had the dot bubble and it took 7 years
- 7:35all the way into the great financial
- 7:36crisis to basically get back to where we
- 7:38were at that time. Technology
- 7:42was about 13% of the S&P 500. And this
- 7:45is where your question on revenue so
- 7:47people understand you can have a lot of
- 7:49revenue in a sector but if it's not
- 7:51growing the S&P 500 is not going to
- 7:53value it but S&P 500 does care about the
- 7:55revenues but it cares about the growth
- 7:58and right now the S&P 500 if you take
- 8:01technology sector which is going to
- 8:03include software and semis you add in
- 8:07basically companies like Netflix and uh
- 8:11Google and Meta and Amazon and Tesla
- 8:14because they're technology companies,
- 8:16but they're in other sectors. You're up
- 8:18to 56% of the S&P 500 now. 56. Wow.
- 8:22>> So, we've already hurt all of these
- 8:25others. This is what gets into the other
- 8:27thing people are talking about. So,
- 8:29>> there's this new highs, new lows, and
- 8:31the breath. The breath is horrible.
- 8:33Okay, let's go through what this means.
- 8:35If seven companies are winning and the
- 8:38tech side is now 56%. Whenever tech is
- 8:41dominating, these companies are the
- 8:43breath is going to be bad by definition.
- 8:45But if you move rates higher, tech is
- 8:48insensitive to rates. And this is the
- 8:50other mistake people are making. Now,
- 8:52the doomers will tell you that, "Oh my
- 8:54god, we need capital and this is
- 8:56borrowing money." And I've said
- 8:57repeatedly on everything I speak at,
- 8:59there is absolutely no sensitivity for
- 9:01rates in the AI trade. None. You can
- 9:04move it up a lot. If compute prices
- 9:07don't come down, Nvidia, it just doesn't
- 9:10matter. I mean, I know it's hard for
- 9:12people to believe that, but the reality
- 9:14is the margins for Micron, they just
- 9:16released earnings this week, 87%.
- 9:19There is so much margin in what
- 9:21Anthropic does and what OpenAI does that
- 9:23they're selling compute at prices
- 9:25because people need it. It's
- 9:27intelligence. It's incredible. They need
- 9:30it.
- 9:30>> I may disagree with some of this.
- 9:31>> Okay. Well, let's let's finish the the
- 9:33statement first. So when you look at
- 9:35newo new highs and new lows and everyone
- 9:36goes look at all the new lows. You know
- 9:38what the new lows are in? Consumer
- 9:39staples.
- 9:40>> True.
- 9:41>> Utilities, real estate, you know what
- 9:43those names are? They're all interest
- 9:45rate sensitive. They all they have no
- 9:47benefit from the AI situation cuz AI is
- 9:50driving rates higher. It's hurting these
- 9:52groups. And that's why they're trading
- 9:53at 52- week lows because who wants to
- 9:55own a consumer staples and a utility
- 9:58when they're basically just synthetic
- 10:00bond positions when bond rates are going
- 10:02higher?
- 10:03I agree that the rate sensitive
- 10:06businesses 100% are under pressure,
- 10:09going to be under pressure until things
- 10:10change. Anyone who disagrees with that,
- 10:12I think that that's actually a uh
- 10:14agreement point between the like doomers
- 10:16and the AI folks is there's a certain
- 10:18part of the economy if rates go up,
- 10:20they're going to get hurt on tech, the
- 10:23individual businesses, I agree. I do
- 10:25think though there's a connection
- 10:26between rates going up and the top in
- 10:30November of 2021 as an example. So the
- 10:33Fed comes out and says, "Hey, we are
- 10:34going to start raising rates." They
- 10:35don't do it till March of 22, but that
- 10:38pretty much marked the top. If you go
- 10:39back to 200 uh 2000 kind of bubble,
- 10:42right? Same thing. Rates, they kind of
- 10:44forecast, hey, we're going to raise
- 10:45rates, market turns over. So in a weird
- 10:48way, it doesn't impact the actual
- 10:50businesses, but on an overall like
- 10:52almost macro basis, when they say
- 10:54they're going to raise rates, usually
- 10:55that has marked some sort of top, which
- 10:57I think is what the doomers are kind of
- 10:58pulling back to. I think your point it
- 11:01sounds like is well rates are going up
- 11:03right now and the market is going up too
- 11:05which kind of like violates that that
- 11:06viewpoint. So put that aside for one
- 11:08second. I am um I went from anthropic
- 11:14open AI etc being the best businesses in
- 11:17the world to now I think I'm in the camp
- 11:19of there's an increasing chance that
- 11:21they are going to be way underperform
- 11:23what people think and there are three
- 11:25data points I'd love your reaction to.
- 11:27First is token consumption per customer
- 11:29seems to have exploded and now is
- 11:32starting to turn over in a number of
- 11:34things. We see this in the ramp AI index
- 11:36spending is down. We also see this in a
- 11:38number of these kind of metrics that
- 11:40look at you know whether it's open
- 11:41router or whatever that that that's
- 11:42coming down. We also know uh Grock
- 11:45recently released their latest uh model
- 11:47and they showed a chart of performance
- 11:49and price. Everything is getting better
- 11:51performance and price is coming down. So
- 11:53it looks like everything's kind of
- 11:54diving down into the right. Well, if you
- 11:57take those two numbers, number of tokens
- 11:59processed times price of token, that is
- 12:02ultimately the revenue of the model
- 12:03labs. So talking to Dan Ives this week
- 12:05and I said, look, if those two numbers
- 12:06are both coming down
- 12:08anthropic, like the latest charts are
- 12:10just kind of showing slight growth, but
- 12:12to like plateau revenue. And so as
- 12:15businesses realize like maybe we need to
- 12:16own more of this ourselves and not just
- 12:18outsource everything to these two
- 12:19companies. It feels like there's some
- 12:21pressure there. Now the overall market
- 12:24is growing maybe there's like breath in
- 12:26AI where like the revenue flows but
- 12:29could there be weakness in the model
- 12:30labs and maybe some pressure of them get
- 12:32actually getting public yet the AI trade
- 12:34more broadly continues and so like
- 12:36you're almost getting like a
- 12:37reallocation of where value is acrewing.
- 12:41>> So let me I'm going to disagree with a
- 12:43lot of what you said. Yes,
- 12:44>> but not the facts. Okay,
- 12:46>> so the the things you highlighted.
- 12:47>> Oh, great. Just call me dumb. [laughter]
- 12:50>> No, but you're falling into the trap of
- 12:53uh that most people get into, which is
- 12:55well, let's look at this data. Let's go
- 12:56through. So, let's let's
- 12:57>> save me, Jordy. No, when So, the first
- 13:00part of this year was about token
- 13:02maxing. Let's just throw tons of tokens
- 13:04inefficiently at everything and see what
- 13:05happens.
- 13:06>> Okay. Well, we knew that was going to
- 13:07end. So, when you look at the ramp index
- 13:09and all this stuff,
- 13:10>> the token cost will is deflationary.
- 13:13It's going to continue to come down.
- 13:15There's models now that 3 months ago
- 13:17from I mean even even open AI has the
- 13:20models from 3 months ago which are
- 13:24better today than 3 months ago are
- 13:26cheaper than they were back then. So
- 13:28everything is moving that way. So let's
- 13:30leave that alone.
- 13:31>> We've entered the agentic side.
- 13:33>> Mhm.
- 13:34>> The token numbers are going to explode.
- 13:37>> We are going to see So all we had were
- 13:40enterprise agents.
- 13:41>> Mhm. 8 billion people on the planet
- 13:43didn't use anything. Well, now Grock,
- 13:47Instinct, Muse are just starting.
- 13:50>> But how many of those So this is where I
- 13:51think the nuance is. How many of those
- 13:53use OpenAI or anthropic models?
- 13:54>> Well, no, no, no. Not so let me get to
- 13:56the end because there let's go what you
- 13:58said at the beginning. I am not some
- 14:01bull on open AI and anthropic. But
- 14:04>> are you a bear?
- 14:05>> No. At the But here's the thing. Do I
- 14:07think their growth rate has already
- 14:09passed the fastest point? Absolutely. So
- 14:11the conversation remember two months ago
- 14:13was they're they're on an annualized run
- 14:15rate which is still there philanthropic
- 14:16of 100 plus billion. Okay.
- 14:18>> Nice business. Like by the way I'm not
- 14:20uh I'm not saying I'm not jealous of
- 14:22having that business.
- 14:23>> Let's just get something straight for
- 14:24everyone who's like wants to fade these
- 14:26guys. The total revenue for this year
- 14:29that OpenAI and Anthropic will have at
- 14:31the end of this year will be greater
- 14:33than the entire software revenue. So
- 14:37let's let's just get something straight
- 14:39like these are the most profit the these
- 14:41are the fastest growing companies in the
- 14:43history. Anthropic was a $50 billion
- 14:45company. It's now a multi-t trillion in
- 14:47a year and a half. Like you can't fade
- 14:49what's gone on. Do I think they're going
- 14:51to get to a trillion dollars in revenue?
- 14:52Absolutely not. But do I think people
- 14:55are underestimating what the
- 14:58biotech companies want to use? What the
- 15:00nanotechnology companies want to use?
- 15:02What the everything in the physical
- 15:04science will pay for frontier
- 15:05intelligence? You're crazy if you think
- 15:07they're going to use cheaper models.
- 15:08Like in the hedge fund industry where
- 15:10I'm from, this has already happened.
- 15:12Like Jane Street, Millennium, they're
- 15:14all using Anthropic. So, everyone's
- 15:16crazy. But, but here's my thing is
- 15:18today's episode is brought to you by
- 15:20Figure Markets. All right, everyone. Who

- 16:37the upside. Check them out using the
- 16:39link below. I'm going to argue that I
- 16:43don't know if Frontier Intelligence is
- 16:45the actual right label for Open
- 16:46Anthropic anymore. And I'll give you let
- 16:49me give you two examples.
- 16:51I think everyone starts with I want to
- 16:53use AI. I think AI could be valuable.
- 16:55And so what you do is you outsource to
- 16:57what is the smartest thing I could use
- 16:58that's kind of off the shelf. And you go
- 17:00right to these guys.
- 17:01>> There is no way in hell that at Sylvia
- 17:05with less than 10 people on an
- 17:06engineering team. We are able to build
- 17:09better models that are more accurate
- 17:10than these trillion dollar companies for
- 17:12personal finance. and Jane Street can't
- 17:15figure out how to build a better model
- 17:16for their specific use case in terms of
- 17:19custom AI harnesses, data pipelines, all
- 17:22the model weights and and the training
- 17:24etc. And so what I think and again this
- 17:28is where uh we are now entering a world
- 17:30of uh I call jordy thinking
- 17:32probabilistic thinking
- 17:33>> of I can't say this with 100% truth but
- 17:36I know there's not zero
- 17:39>> I think that open anthropic for many
- 17:41businesses are the perfect on-ramp so
- 17:43you get this acceleration on a per
- 17:45customer basis and then the customer
- 17:47start to say well can we get better
- 17:49intelligence can we get cheaper
- 17:50intelligence they start to try to
- 17:51optimize that optimization point almost
- 17:54every CEO I talked to the private market
- 17:55is saying we are starting to do this
- 17:57internally. And so to me, what that
- 18:00means is their future growth is about
- 18:02how do we go get more of the people who
- 18:03do not currently use AI to get onboarded
- 18:06because they're almost like leaking
- 18:08their existing users. The per token
- 18:10usage is going down. So they have to go
- 18:12get new customers to replace the like
- 18:14leakage or the like retention almost to
- 18:16some degree. Does that make sense?
- 18:18>> Yeah. But this gets back into I the part
- 18:20I disagree with is for everything that
- 18:22you've said if I told you the most
- 18:24important point is that we're in the 1%
- 18:28>> right now of usage
- 18:29>> and that Jevans paradox is a real thing
- 18:31which I completely agree with. There's
- 18:34no way that open AI and anthropic don't
- 18:37continue to grow. So there's a
- 18:39difference between growing as fast as
- 18:41they did for the early inception and
- 18:43continuing to grow. As someone who
- 18:45>> I'm not saying they're not going to
- 18:46grow, by the way. I I agree that they're
- 18:47going to keep growing. It's just the
- 18:49nuance dynamics now agree
- 18:51>> are changing because you also have like
- 18:53Jev
- 18:54>> right shows up like like there there's a
- 18:55lot of stuff that are happening where uh
- 18:57you made a comment 3 months ago
- 19:00>> the easy money and AI is over.
- 19:01>> Yeah.
- 19:02>> We are now like I'm fully on board with
- 19:04that and I think that it's becoming very
- 19:05obvious you can't just be like the big
- 19:07model labs get all the money.
- 19:08>> Correct. And and that part I agree with
- 19:10the the thing the thing that as a user
- 19:13and using my son as like an example
- 19:17we both will crap on Gemini.
- 19:20>> I don't when the new model comes out
- 19:22well this is good.
- 19:23>> It makes mistakes that I have open AI
- 19:26and claude fix constantly.
- 19:30>> So I think people that use it all the
- 19:32time and that are scared of mistakes and
- 19:34hallucinations and things like that know
- 19:36the models that are more likely to do
- 19:37this. I think when you make the decision
- 19:40to go to open source and you go to these
- 19:43I I personally believe on my own
- 19:45experience, it better be for stuff that
- 19:47isn't super important. That's why I
- 19:49brought up the Jane Street and
- 19:50Millennium. I don't agree that all these
- 19:53models are even close to the same. I've
- 19:56used I I stopped my uh Open Claw and my
- 19:59Hermes because I was able to do things
- 20:02in Claude and Anthropic that or in in
- 20:04Claude and Open AI which were different.
- 20:06And then when Grockot came out and Muse
- 20:08came out and everything else, Muse is
- 20:10not as good a model anything close to
- 20:12what open but it doesn't need to be.
- 20:13It's just doing basic stuff for me. So I
- 20:15think we're saying the same thing. I
- 20:17just think we agree on this.
- 20:18>> I think the hardest thing for people to
- 20:19understand and the most important thing
- 20:20that I want to get across to people,
- 20:23you've heard Jeb's paradox.
- 20:25We're at that point right now. What
- 20:27happened the last two months may have
- 20:30been a air pocket on one way which is
- 20:33this token cost thing but we're entering
- 20:35a very very dangerous period now for the
- 20:38next year.
- 20:39>> The usage is going to skyrocket and we
- 20:42don't have enough compute.
- 20:43>> So this gets back to the other thing
- 20:45OpenAI and Anthropic own.
- 20:48I listened to the interview with the
- 20:50instinct founder.
- 20:52>> Did you listen to it?
- 20:52>> Yeah. Noah on uh invest like the best.
- 20:54Yeah. He specifically highlighted that
- 20:57he underestimated his compute needs.
- 21:00>> He said, I think he said 40% of his time
- 21:02is being spent trying to accumulate
- 21:03compute and he's having a hard time
- 21:05because he's growing 10% per day. And so
- 21:09he's like, "How do I project out? If I
- 21:11double my compute, you know, I basically
- 21:13use it all up in a couple weeks and then
- 21:15how do I kind of project how much I'm
- 21:17going to need?"
- 21:17>> So here's the scary thing. We're
- 21:20entering the hype the the the parabola
- 21:23of efficiency and compute as well with
- 21:25Vera Rubin. So Blackwells were great.
- 21:27You the efficiency of the chips. Well,
- 21:29now we're getting the Vera Rubin. Who
- 21:31owns all of that? The big guys do.
- 21:33>> I mean, it's the speculation between
- 21:36semi analysis and what I've heard on the
- 21:38all in pod is that open anthropic
- 21:41combined will own up to 50% of all the
- 21:44compute coming online. I mean, isn't
- 21:47that a monopoly or a duopoly of some
- 21:50sort on compute? And so, this is where I
- 21:53I don't think you can make the
- 21:55assumptions that they won't actually go
- 21:57up again sometime next year just because
- 21:59they have the compute, which means two
- 22:00things. Number one, they can service
- 22:01more people uh more companies. And
- 22:04number two, their models start getting
- 22:06better and better because you need more
- 22:09computing power to actually get to the
- 22:11level of the IQ that they eventually
- 22:12want to get to for the physical
- 22:14sciences.
- 22:15So um
- 22:17let's talk about the personal agents
- 22:19maybe as a uh an area where I think
- 22:21tokens are going to continue to expand.
- 22:23We now have just this past week um Robin
- 22:26Hood announced a bunch of agentic
- 22:28trading. We have uh OpenAI launched
- 22:32dots. We have uh Ryan Sirant launched an
- 22:37AI agent within his simple app which
- 22:39again is like a very applied AI type
- 22:41thing. We have Muse, which was already
- 22:44out, but now is going after small
- 22:45business.
- 22:46>> We have uh Noah, the founder of
- 22:49Instinct, who's basically come out and
- 22:50said they're doing over a billion
- 22:51dollars of transactions, 40% I think
- 22:53it's on travel, that gave a bunch of
- 22:55numbers in terms of what how what's
- 22:56going on, how they're doing it, growing
- 22:5810% day overday. Uh with Sylvia, we
- 23:01announced now you can text it in a more
- 23:03agentic way, then have to go into a
- 23:05archaic dashboard and use it that way.
- 23:09And then I don't I've lost count. I we
- 23:11would spend an hour of me rattling off
- 23:13every single product launch that I saw
- 23:15from some net new agent that got
- 23:18released, including I don't know if you
- 23:20saw this one. There is one I don't want
- 23:22to say the name because I don't know how
- 23:24legit it is that you can start with the
- 23:26agent as a baby and raise it. [snorts]
- 23:29>> I I haven't heard this
- 23:30>> launch video was awesome. Looked cool.
- 23:32Hilarious. I'm sure they've got some
- 23:34pitch as to why that's better, but like
- 23:37we're we're [laughter]
- 23:38we're in banana land a little bit on the
- 23:40AI agents already. How are you
- 23:43evaluating personal agents? What are you
- 23:45using? And where do you think, you know,
- 23:47is there consolidation or like are you
- 23:48going to have 20 agents across 20
- 23:50different use cases?
- 23:51>> Okay, so there's two parts to this and I
- 23:53want to make sure the second part
- 23:55everyone hears first um in terms of you
- 23:58getting back to it.
- 24:00Every day since I put Muse on my phone,
- 24:03I have bought more and more crypto every
- 24:06single day.
- 24:07>> Because Muse told you or because you
- 24:09just become more convinced that
- 24:10>> because this to me, so I I people have
- 24:13watched this together now for a while.
- 24:16Last year when I was frustrated by just
- 24:18like listening to people not understand
- 24:20the Micron story about token growth,
- 24:23the agent stuff with Muse and all of
- 24:26this, it just blows me away every day
- 24:28with more things that I can do with it.
- 24:30And
- 24:32so let me answer that part. I want to
- 24:34get to the crypto connection because I
- 24:36think if anyone should be demanding from
- 24:39their Fidelity, their Robin Hood,
- 24:41everything that they have the ability of
- 24:42at least thinking about this. I really
- 24:44do believe that we're entering something
- 24:46that is just breathtaking
- 24:48cryptoconnected
- 24:49to agents. So on the agent side, it
- 24:52started with Grockbot and that was a
- 24:53game changer for me. Now I use Grockbot
- 24:55more for the work stuff. I have one
- 24:58chief of staff who I go to when I want
- 25:02to have a meeting with the agents or I
- 25:04want to send off the agents. But
- 25:05underneath that chief of staff, I now
- 25:07have two middle management chief of
- 25:09staff.
- 25:09>> Uh-oh. Middle managers. Middle managers.
- 25:13Hey, pull up a chair. Let me tell you
- 25:14about automation. So I have one for AI,
- 25:17>> man. You capitalist pig. You going after
- 25:20the middle managers. Too much time in
- 25:21Morgan Stanley. So one one side is uh
- 25:25has got a an AI side. The other side has
- 25:27a crypto side. And I send them out to
- 25:29keep up on what's going on.
- 25:31What Muse did for me. And I think this
- 25:35is what people need to hear when they go
- 25:36Meta won. Meta didn't win anything. It's
- 25:39not even like there's there's [snorts]
- 25:42going to be so many personal AI and
- 25:44that's the big thing and that's why it
- 25:45matters so much is that when Apple comes
- 25:47out we're going to have a ton. And who
- 25:49do I think is going to be better at
- 25:50security? Apple or Meta. I'm I'm going
- 25:53to go with Apple. It's just my my guess.
- 25:54But regardless of that, Muse and all of
- 25:57them, if you haven't used them yet,
- 26:00I think you're missing the same way that
- 26:02when we talked about not understanding
- 26:04tokens, you're going to miss out on some
- 26:06activity to invest. I think with agents
- 26:09that my brain only goes one place which
- 26:11is there's no way for the current system
- 26:16to handle the speed and the ability to
- 26:18do things like this. It's just
- 26:21impossible. And I will give you one
- 26:25important thought process on this. So
- 26:26we've heard about agent swarms. So let's
- 26:28take the two parts of agents. The reason
- 26:30there's agent swarms now is the same
- 26:32reason that we have personal agents. We
- 26:34couldn't have personal agents unless we
- 26:36got to the point where we had agent
- 26:37swarms. Because at the end of the day,
- 26:39that's kind of what you're doing. You
- 26:41need to have enough IQ to be able to do
- 26:43all these different tasks, have the
- 26:45memory, have it, and agent swarms have
- 26:47the same thing. The reason this is
- 26:48important, the current system, when you
- 26:51go to wire money to someone, if you go
- 26:52to wire money to someone on a Friday at
- 26:543:00, it'll settle on Monday. Where's
- 26:58your money for the last two days?
- 27:00Where's it sitting? And I challenge
- 27:02anyone to actually know where their
- 27:04money is when they use a credit card to
- 27:06go buy something and it goes from your
- 27:08bank account to the merchant through the
- 27:10credit card. I keep hearing people tell
- 27:12me, "Well, Vis and Mastercard are going
- 27:13to be the winners in this." I'm like,
- 27:14"No, they're not. They have no chance. I
- 27:16I don't even know where this comes
- 27:17from." And this argument comes up all
- 27:19the time. the amount of steps between
- 27:22buying something and settling something.
- 27:24The longer it takes, even if it's 20
- 27:27seconds versus one second, that's
- 27:29multiple times for an agent swarm to
- 27:31come in and steal the money along. You
- 27:33need every single part of it. So, you
- 27:35remember the cold wallet story, right?
- 27:37[snorts]
- 27:38Crypto is based on cryptography. Like,
- 27:40this is going to be a necessity to make
- 27:42sure that it's instant cuz that is the
- 27:44best defense on anything. If you're
- 27:46worried about someone robbing your
- 27:48house, but they will only rob it when
- 27:49you're not there, well, the best thing
- 27:50would be to go outside for a second,
- 27:52come back in. The longer you leave, you
- 27:53go on vacation, the higher the
- 27:54probability. I think people need to
- 27:56start understanding that the the the
- 27:58lineup of cryptography to AIS is not
- 28:01just about them wanting to do things
- 28:03fast. It's not just the cost. It is also
- 28:06the time of risk against agent swarms.
- 28:10And I think that's going to become more
- 28:11of a story. This is the reason why every
- 28:13time I use it, I'm like, "Oh my gosh,
- 28:14this is so obvious that number one,
- 28:19we didn't need crypto. We didn't need
- 28:21the tokens. We didn't need the altcoins.
- 28:23We needed the layer ones to kind of draw
- 28:26capital in to build out the
- 28:27infrastructure that was necessary. So,
- 28:30when you have the L1's growing and
- 28:32continuing to get bigger and bigger,
- 28:33well, that means the ecosystem is
- 28:34getting bigger. And as Michael Sailor
- 28:36says, the capital structure can now
- 28:37change because we actually have digital
- 28:38collateral. We have Bitcoin. We have
- 28:40Ethereum. So we have the programmable
- 28:41side but you need that thing that
- 28:44actually makes it well this is the use
- 28:46case and I said the same thing if you go
- 28:47back and look when Uber started Uber
- 28:50didn't start as a company in terms of
- 28:52the idea until the app store happened
- 28:55then they went oh we can do this so I
- 28:57think you're going to see innovation
- 28:58after innovation related to this so what
- 29:00I have spent my time on as someone who
- 29:03listens to so many podcasts a week
- 29:06[snorts] very seldom now do I listen to
- 29:08moonshots very seldom do I into any of
- 29:11these in
- 29:13>> they've been dominated by crypto now and
- 29:16not rah hoodie crypto I mean the
- 29:21functional use cases and different ways
- 29:23to value these because I am getting
- 29:26constantly I mean this has happened
- 29:28three times this week calls with hedge
- 29:33fund and ass and asset man let's just
- 29:34say asset managers
- 29:36tell me about why I should be investing
- 29:39in crypto
- 29:40These conversations never existed. When
- 29:42you and I talked, you gave me all the
- 29:44horror stories of walking into rooms.
- 29:46>> They are asking you in terms of I hear
- 29:49you talking about crypto and I disagree
- 29:52so convince me or they are saying I am
- 29:54interested. Help me better understand
- 29:56you know where to put the money that I
- 29:57want to invest.
- 29:58>> Yeah. The best analogy is um the door
- 30:01was closed and you had to pry it open.
- 30:04>> They're looking through the door.
- 30:05>> I see. they they're they're interested
- 30:07and the reason is and this is the
- 30:09>> this is the Wall Street FOMO building
- 30:11up.
- 30:11>> I I don't I so I think it is coming from
- 30:14from two directions. One is every day
- 30:16Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, City
- 30:17Bank, they're all involved in it. All of
- 30:20them. They're racing for tokenization.
- 30:22They're racing for stable coins and
- 30:23that's the key thing. But then there's
- 30:25another argument which is
- 30:28the connection of agents to crypto makes
- 30:30sense. Like that's the whole point is
- 30:32that there's an element of oh this makes
- 30:35sense. And the reason I'm so emphatic
- 30:37and pounding the table that this is so
- 30:38important
- 30:40>> is and I don't I don't know how to
- 30:41pronounce Ilia's last name from near
- 30:44>> but if you go back and listen to an
- 30:46interview with him in 2023 on a podcast
- 30:49called No Priors
- 30:52>> great podcast
- 30:53>> great podcast and but this was a very
- 30:55futuristic look of where we are today.
- 30:57So in 2023 if I said to you okay he did
- 30:59this interview it was only 6 months
- 31:01after
- 31:02Gen AI started chatbt was launched how
- 31:05could a guy have this much vision on the
- 31:07agentic world connecting to it literally
- 31:09that's what near that's what he was
- 31:11talking about how could he have that
- 31:12vision because he was one of the
- 31:14co-authors on the transformer paper that
- 31:17led to generative AI so there's two
- 31:19things about that so I'm a logical guy
- 31:21like I I look at things and go I like
- 31:23listening to this guy this is great
- 31:26his value as one of the transformer page
- 31:29co-authors when AI took over and people
- 31:32were paying hundreds of millions if not
- 31:35billions of dollars for humans. You
- 31:37don't think Ilia got a call and could
- 31:38have left near and gone there but he
- 31:40believes in this there there's a lot of
- 31:43elements for me as like a founder that I
- 31:44like listening to and getting to know
- 31:46the people. So I think if people go back
- 31:48and listen to that, forget investing in
- 31:50NER. Just go listen to the story and go
- 31:53listen to someone who believes agents
- 31:56have to be part of crypto back in so
- 31:59this was also when crypto was on its way
- 32:01down everything was breaking down. He
- 32:04was saying when agents are here that's
- 32:06when the connection will be. And
- 32:07literally what he said is they will be
- 32:09the economic actors of the future. And
- 32:12so that's why every day that I sit there
- 32:13I'm like oh I know what's happening now.
- 32:15And so if I get off the call, and this
- 32:16happened to me once this week, I'm
- 32:18meeting someone for breakfast coming up
- 32:20soon,
- 32:22has two portfolios, follows me in AI,
- 32:24he's a subscriber, he's been doing well,
- 32:26and he's got all these names, but then
- 32:28at the same point, he's got a lot of
- 32:30crypto, which he told me about. He's
- 32:31like, I don't need any more crypto. I
- 32:33still have stuff from 2021 and 2022. And
- 32:35that was an interesting thing because I
- 32:36remember hearing that after the do
- 32:38bubble. All the people that I knew that
- 32:39bought a lot of these things, they
- 32:41didn't put more money into it because
- 32:42they still had PTSD from what they went
- 32:44through. I think there's a a period here
- 32:46where the asset managers are looking to
- 32:49invest. I think most of what's driving
- 32:51crypto right now is a combination of new
- 32:54players coming in. This is what a bull
- 32:56market is about. And you're right, FOMO
- 32:58is going to start to kick in very, very
- 32:59soon. I said before when Bitcoin got
- 33:01above 82,000, that was the confirmation
- 33:03of the bull trend. I think we're in
- 33:05that. The fundamental side's getting
- 33:07stronger and stronger by the day. I I
- 33:10think we're at a point where this stuff
- 33:12is about to kind of take off,
- 33:13particularly with what happened today
- 33:15with the unemployment rate being lower
- 33:17than expected. If you take everything
- 33:18that happened this week from the rate
- 33:20picture and you look at it and you're
- 33:22like, David Zervos brought into the Fed
- 33:24or brought into the Treasury, he wants
- 33:27he's he's a very creative guy. Uh we're
- 33:30going to he's he's being brought in to
- 33:31help get long-term rates lower. They did
- 33:34another buyback, another, you know,
- 33:35treasury uh yield curve, treasury uh
- 33:39twitch, whatever you want to call it in
- 33:41terms of the twisting of the back end
- 33:43versus the front end. We got a lower
- 33:45than expected PCE core. Now we got an
- 33:48unemployment number that came in weaker
- 33:50than expected with an hourly earnings
- 33:51that came in weaker than expected. So
- 33:53maybe rates settle here. They don't have
- 33:55to go down, guys. They just need to not
- 33:57be a story where every day they go up.
- 34:00And I think we could be staring at a a
- 34:01position coming out of the midterms
- 34:03where people are like, "Why were we
- 34:04waiting? Earnings are just growing
- 34:05rapidly and we're entering earning
- 34:06season in two weeks." Today's episode is
- 34:08brought to you by Galaxy 1. A lot of
- 34:10people got their money working for them.
- 34:12But the question now, how hard is it
- 34:14working? Well, the folks over at Galaxy
- 34:161, they're taking a very different
- 34:17approach. Everyone earns 3.5% APY using
- 34:21Galaxy 1 Cash. And if you make over
- 34:24$200,000 a year, that means you're
- 34:26probably an accredited investor. And
- 34:28then you can earn up to 8% on your cash
- 34:30guaranteed by Galaxy Digital. The best
- 34:33part though is that you can actually set
- 34:34it so that your yield immediately is
- 34:37reinvested into your favorite stocks,
- 34:38crypto, or ETFs. You don't got to think
- 34:41about it every single month. It just
- 34:43automatically does it for you. That's
- 34:44why I love Galaxy 1. So, if your cash
- 34:46isn't working as hard as you are, then
- 34:48it's time to make a move. Check out the
- 34:50link in the description and start
- 34:52earning today. This episode is brought
- 34:54to you by Lava. The Lava card is the
- 34:56first credit card that allows you to

- 35:53>> You ever gone to a high school football
- 35:54game
- 35:55>> many times
- 35:56>> and uh you see the the young men on the
- 35:58sidelines, fourth quarter comes, they
- 36:00start holding up the four fingers like
- 36:02this.
- 36:02>> Y
- 36:02>> you don't know this, but the uh the OG
- 36:04podcast viewers, every fourth quarter we
- 36:07go like this. You know why?
- 36:09>> Why?
- 36:09>> Cuz crypto loves the fourth quarter. It
- 36:11loves it. Like just like the high school
- 36:13football team's like, "We win the fourth
- 36:14quarter." Krypto's like, "We win the
- 36:16fourth quarter." It's October 3rd. You
- 36:18know, like you ever seen a bull right
- 36:20before he stampedes, he kind of digs his
- 36:22feet into the ground, throws up some
- 36:24dust. October 3rd. That's what the bulls
- 36:26do. [laughter]
- 36:27>> And then it's fourth quarter. Like here
- 36:29we go. I think it was over the summer
- 36:31that when it first when we had the seven
- 36:33sigma move that I reminded both the
- 36:38audience and you that the viewpoint for
- 36:40this year was that based on the work
- 36:42being done by institutional investors
- 36:46that when we came to the end of the year
- 36:48something very important happened. So
- 36:49this will match up with your fourth
- 36:51quarter thing but I think this one's the
- 36:52most important. It's for important for
- 36:54people to hear. This is my mindset.
- 36:55>> Jord is unbothered. He's just like get
- 36:57out of here with this fourth quarter
- 36:58course. Just give us a four.
- 36:59four year cycle I don't care about and
- 37:00this I don't care about but I do know
- 37:02this
- 37:04>> large allocators and decision makers
- 37:06make really important decisions for the
- 37:08following calendar year
- 37:09>> in the fourth quarter
- 37:10>> in the fourth quarter and the reason
- 37:11that's important and particularly in the
- 37:13final two months
- 37:16they get paid on performance which
- 37:18crystallizes sometime around that end of
- 37:21the you know and into the beginning of
- 37:23the year
- 37:24>> oh there's somebody out there they're up
- 37:25big right now they're selling and
- 37:26they're not going to touch their
- 37:27portfolio till December Exactly. And so
- 37:30if you want to get involved with crypto,
- 37:32they're doing their homework. The
- 37:33problem they're running into, I've been
- 37:34asked this many times. So what can I
- 37:36buy? And I go, well, you can either buy
- 37:37buy the, you know, the ETFs or the, you
- 37:41know, the DATs of the various ones or
- 37:44maybe there's five companies you public
- 37:47stocks you can buy.
- 37:49>> It's really hard, but they want to do
- 37:51it. So, I think that's where the L1
- 37:54start to become, you know, a
- 37:56>> they're not going to drive things, but
- 37:58they're there's going to be an
- 37:59underlying bid for these things that
- 38:01keeps the ecosystem grounded. And that
- 38:03means that the beta is going to continue
- 38:05to show up in the altcoins, but the beta
- 38:07is going to be driven not by the
- 38:08institutional managers until the
- 38:11tokenization starts to happen. That's
- 38:12why tokenization is so important.
- 38:14>> So, there's two uh two data points that
- 38:16I will uh I will share. Um, I think back
- 38:18in May or June, I tweeted much to the uh
- 38:21uh disappointment of all the AI bulls
- 38:23and I said it's going to be glorious
- 38:25when the AI profits rotate back into
- 38:27Bitcoin and I was trolling a little bit,
- 38:30but I do believe that, you know, a lot
- 38:32of the crypto gains went into AI, people
- 38:35continue, you got the momentum and now
- 38:36you're going to kind of see this
- 38:37rotation back. Um, it does feel like
- 38:39that's starting to happen a little bit.
- 38:41To your point, I don't think that the
- 38:42interest in AI is going away. I just
- 38:43think that people are becoming a little
- 38:44bit more interested in Bitcoin and
- 38:46crypto. So now you kind of have these
- 38:47two technologies.
- 38:48>> The second thing, uh, I am shocked right
- 38:52now. I believe Sylvia is the only public
- 38:55company that has AI and Bitcoin kind of
- 38:57married together. It's a it's a little
- 38:58bit of a weird way that we've done it.
- 38:59>> Y,
- 39:00>> I am very very shocked that maybe the
- 39:03only ones you could assign to are like a
- 39:05Coinbase or like a Robin Hood who have
- 39:07like crypto products and then they're
- 39:08like using AI, you know, in some form or
- 39:10fashion. But I feel like this is
- 39:14becoming somewhat of a more consensus
- 39:15view that these two technologies are
- 39:16going to benefit from each other and
- 39:18it's going to be there. One of my
- 39:19predictions for 2027 is you're going to
- 39:22start to see an assault of public
- 39:24markets where people they may be an AI,
- 39:26you know, related business. They're
- 39:27going to start trying to do crypto
- 39:28stuff. Crypto will do more AI.
- 39:30>> And so I think what investors are going
- 39:31to have to try to figure out is like
- 39:33where does the value acrew, right? So if
- 39:36you look at take maybe Coinbase and
- 39:37Robin Hood, Coinbase came from the
- 39:39crypto world, Robin Hood comes from the
- 39:40brokerage world. they kind of have ended
- 39:41up in this like, you know, war over
- 39:43who's going to be like the everything
- 39:44exchange. Both great businesses. I think
- 39:46both will do very well going forward,
- 39:49but they have kind of like the DNA of
- 39:51the company is a little bit different.
- 39:53And so if you were like, hey, I want to
- 39:54be more like 7030 crypto to AI, you
- 39:56probably would go and buy a Coinbase. If
- 39:58you want to be like 7030, you know,
- 40:00equities, then or AI, you'd go to like
- 40:02more Robin Hood.
- 40:04>> That I think is actually much harder for
- 40:06people to navigate. Again, going back to
- 40:07this like all the easy money's gone.
- 40:09>> Yep. If you're an institutional
- 40:11allocator and you're like, "Okay, cool.
- 40:12I believe in everything Jord's saying.
- 40:15Where do I go put my money,
- 40:17>> you're now almost getting like the the
- 40:18more intricate decisions?" And so, one,
- 40:21I think that uh similar to how we talked
- 40:22about like lawyers, advice will become
- 40:24more valuable than the action of just
- 40:25like filling out the documents.
- 40:27>> Your philosophy is going to become
- 40:31consensus. And now it is going to become
- 40:33much more about like what are the
- 40:35specific names? How do I think about
- 40:36portfolio construction? How do I think
- 40:38about onetime purchase versus dollar
- 40:39cost averaging? I mean, like very
- 40:41specific, you know, kind of tactical
- 40:42things.
- 40:44>> This is where uh so I'm and you and I
- 40:48haven't talked about this, but I'll I'll
- 40:49I'll bring in. So, because I have
- 40:52subscribers that want to invest in the
- 40:5546 name index that I created, they want
- 40:58to
- 40:58>> around tokenization.
- 40:59>> Yeah. Well, it Yeah. Around it's really
- 41:01the crypto ecosystem. So, this is
- 41:03really, hey, agents are going to do
- 41:05things. Okay. This is the entire
- 41:06ecosystem that should benefit. And
- 41:09rather than you go out and pick five
- 41:11tokens, I think the beauty of the way I
- 41:15put it together is equal weight. It's
- 41:17got the L1's and then it's got a bunch
- 41:19of L2s, 46 names. Just uh you're not
- 41:22allowed to say this, but I have a uh
- 41:24report here. Um let me look to make sure
- 41:27I got this right. The Visceral Labs 46
- 41:29name index, which by the way, we got to
- 41:30get you a better name. [laughter] Visor
- 41:33Labs.
- 41:34It's like uh you know for for whatever
- 41:36people say about Trump good or bad the
- 41:37guy's good at branding and super
- 41:38intelligence probably is a better name.
- 41:40The Visser Labs 46 name index is up year
- 41:42to date 50%. Bitcoin is down 3.2% as of
- 41:46the close yesterday.
- 41:48>> So that I think gives a a pretty clear
- 41:50this is outperforming Bitcoin as a
- 41:52benchmark.
- 41:53>> And if you would have looked the prior
- 41:55year or you know when Bitcoin peaked,
- 41:57Bitcoin was outperforming and all of the
- 41:59altcoins were were underperforming.
- 42:01That's what makes this so important. It
- 42:02ties it back to AI. What I was going to
- 42:04say is I'm reaching out now to asset
- 42:05managers. So, anyone out there who's
- 42:08doing anything. I ran ETFs
- 42:11>> if you breathe.
- 42:13>> I ran ETFs at Morgan Stanley. I traded
- 42:15programs. I traded derivatives. The
- 42:18future is to give both individual
- 42:21investors and asset managers what
- 42:23they're going to be able to do within a
- 42:25year, which is some kind of tokenized
- 42:26way to do this agentically. This
- 42:28compares So, I'm going to set this up
- 42:31myself. I'm going to do this. Um, I'm
- 42:34also going to connect to API keys to be
- 42:36able to do the research on crypto. At
- 42:38this point, you should be able to turn
- 42:41everything into an investment dashboard
- 42:44that has the 46 name index. You trade it
- 42:46with a push of a button with agents. I'm
- 42:49going to do that on my own and I'm going
- 42:50to set it up. And I don't know if Robin
- 42:52Hood can do it yet. I don't know if
- 42:53Coinbase can do it yet. But anyone else
- 42:55out there, um, I reached out to Bill
- 42:57Barte. I'm I'm reaching out. anyone
- 42:59wants to come to me and work with me on
- 43:01this. I don't want to launch an ETF, but
- 43:03I do want my subscribers to have the
- 43:05ability of investing that way because
- 43:07that's the way the future is going to
- 43:08be. An agent can go out and do all 46
- 43:11names, equal weight the whole thing, and
- 43:12then you have it done within seconds.
- 43:15We're at that point where it should be
- 43:16able to get done. The only nuance is
- 43:18there's 42
- 43:20tokens and then there's four public
- 43:21stocks. So, in the world of the merging
- 43:24of tokenization,
- 43:25it's a race to see who can handle Jord's
- 43:27portfolio first. [snorts]
- 43:30>> Um, I like this idea. I do think this is
- 43:32where the world is going. Uh, I do not
- 43:34think it will happen as fast as everyone
- 43:36claims it will. And um I will uh
- 43:39introduce you to uh a couple lawyers uh
- 43:41because as we've gone down this path um
- 43:45>> there are a lot of very antiquated rules
- 43:50around how they will empower this to
- 43:52happen.
- 43:53>> And so uh I'm an investor in a company
- 43:55called Autopilot. They do something
- 43:57similar different but but similar. I
- 43:58think they've done a great job. Um you
- 44:00now are seeing the agentic trading e
- 44:02Toro, Robin Hood, Coinbase like they're
- 44:04all going into that. Um, public has this
- 44:08like describe something and it will then
- 44:10create an index for you kind of a custom
- 44:13index. Um, I think maybe you can kind of
- 44:15trade off of it um in the product. Super
- 44:19take we we recently talked about in
- 44:20terms of like you know I think snow's
- 44:22going to snow a lot in the mountain like
- 44:24how do I invest along that theme? Like
- 44:25this is definitely where the world is
- 44:26headed.
- 44:28>> What I think is maybe most interesting
- 44:30is twofold. Creating it and putting it
- 44:33on easy. how do people sell or rotate or
- 44:38that type of stuff I think is we just
- 44:40need to figure it out. I don't think
- 44:41people have really spent a lot of time
- 44:42there.
- 44:42>> And then the second thing is um the
- 44:46rules have to catch up with this type of
- 44:48investing because the rules are frankly
- 44:51situated for ETFs, mutual funds, like
- 44:53that stuff. This is the future.
- 44:56But like if I said to you, hey, you got
- 44:58to go become an RA to do this. You
- 44:59probably would be like, eh, I'm not
- 45:01interested. I don't know if you have to,
- 45:02right? But the platforms for sure, if
- 45:05they're going to empower this stuff,
- 45:06there are legal things that they need to
- 45:08do. We're entering a weird world where
- 45:11like if the agents are doing the
- 45:13trading, like are the agents regulated?
- 45:16You know, one of the things I've always
- 45:17talked about is uh in crypto back in the
- 45:19day, uh there's certain things that
- 45:22exchanges have to file with the SEC.
- 45:25Well, if it's decentralized,
- 45:28how does it file? And then like also how
- 45:30do you enforce the rules? So
- 45:31decentralization for exchanges is an
- 45:33interesting thing because regulators
- 45:34weren't like you're not even trying to
- 45:36be malicious just like how do we
- 45:38interface with each other.
- 45:40I think this is now coming in a weird
- 45:42way. What you're talking about is almost
- 45:43like a decentralized ETF.
- 45:45How do how does the regulators how do
- 45:47the rules interface?
- 45:49>> I don't think they have an answer yet.
- 45:50They're they're trying to figure it out
- 45:51but they don't have an answer.
- 45:52>> So here's what's going to happen a year
- 45:54from now. And I keep saying a year from
- 45:55now because my mindset is that we are at
- 45:57the micron moment as I call it where
- 45:59people just underestimate how fast this
- 46:01stuff goes. And if I'm right, uh,
- 46:06every wealth advisor,
- 46:09every uh, wealth management firm is
- 46:12going to be in a very very difficult
- 46:14position a year from now.
- 46:16their clients are going to start hearing
- 46:18about how people are making a lot of
- 46:20money in crypto and they're going to
- 46:22hear crypto and rather than crypto I
- 46:25want everyone to just think they're
- 46:27making money in tokens
- 46:29well stocks are going to be tokenized
- 46:31for sure now will they be the same way
- 46:35there's going to be a merging here but
- 46:36if people go well I I heard you know I
- 46:39heard Joe and Mary just made 30 times
- 46:41their money over here this is the weird
- 46:42part about if I'm right about what's
- 46:45happening and you have to Go back to the
- 46:46Micron example. Never in my time have I
- 46:50seen what I saw with my agentic
- 46:52portfolio infrastructure, which is I
- 46:54thought Micron would double. I thought
- 46:56it might triple 14 times. Now that was
- 46:59totally based on the earnings growth.
- 47:02>> I see the crypto volumes, the token
- 47:04volumes going through the roof because
- 47:05of tokenization and because of stable
- 47:08coin payments,
- 47:09>> because of AI agents. If it wasn't for
- 47:12agents, which will speed this process up
- 47:13to make it easier, I wouldn't be as
- 47:15optimistic on it. So, it started now and
- 47:19I think everyone listening who watches
- 47:21us regularly of which we have a goodiz
- 47:22audience. This is a problem you want to
- 47:25be ahead of both as an in personal
- 47:27investor, you want to start doing your
- 47:29research. This weekend when I go
- 47:30through, I will do another video on
- 47:31crypto plus my regular weekly video. I
- 47:34am going to highlight seven separate
- 47:37podcasts. I not only spoke to Ilyia at
- 47:39near I spoke to William Mgayar who
- 47:41you've had on he was amazing brilliant
- 47:44brilliant guy he's got a new book coming
- 47:46out it's going to take another 3 to 6
- 47:48months I think for his book to come out
- 47:49you have to be on top of these guys
- 47:50Joseph Chalam or Shalom who was at
- 47:53BlackRock
- 47:54>> all over it
- 47:56they're all over it and they're telling
- 47:57you why to invest in it and they're
- 47:59telling you why this moment matters now
- 48:01and a lot of it has to do with the
- 48:02regulatory side but most of it has to do
- 48:04with the three of them saw this vision a
- 48:07long time ago playing out and they're
