00:01:54.000 And we are live.

00:01:55.000 What's up, guys?

00:01:55.000 Welcome to the Freshman Podcast, man.

00:01:57.000 We are here with a highly requested guest, Luke Belmar.

00:01:59.000 Let's get into it!

00:01:59.000 Let's go!

00:02:55.000 We're good to go.

00:03:07.000 Especially off of the stuff that we've been talking about right before the show, which we might not be able to talk about on YouTube.

00:03:12.000 But either way, rumble.com slash Fresh and Fit, where we can speak freely and you guys can hear everything that we're going to say.

00:03:17.000 Also, CastleClub.tv is where you get all the behind-the-scenes stuff, whether it's me kicking out annoying-ass girls from CastleClub.tv, sorry, from the show, you know, hence why it's called Castle Club, or behind-the-scenes stuff, IRL streams, all that other stuff.

00:03:57.000 Welcome to my show!

00:03:59.000 How's it going, brother?

00:04:00.000 It's been time coming, man.

00:04:01.000 It's been a while.

00:04:02.000 Highly requested.

00:04:03.000 Friend of ours on the show.

00:04:04.000 How are you?

00:04:05.000 Welcome, brother.

00:04:05.000 Thank you, brother.

00:04:06.000 Thanks for having me.

00:04:07.000 Just got off the plane a couple hours ago, but this is the place to be, so glad to be here.

00:04:11.000 We know who you are, bro, but they may not.

00:04:13.000 Tell them who Belmar is.

00:04:15.000 Luke Belmar, digital entrepreneur.

00:04:17.000 Started my career 2016, 2017.

00:04:21.000 Got into e-commerce.

00:04:23.000 Bought my first Bitcoin at $588. 0.99

00:04:25.000 Damn! 0.98

00:04:26.000 So today's a phenomenal day. 1.00

00:04:29.000 So for everybody that survived the fucking bear market, congratulations to everybody out there. 0.97

00:04:35.000 Yeah, built a phenomenal business online. 0.98

00:04:37.000 Now founder and president of Capital Club, which is one of the largest, fastest-growing entrepreneurial networks in the world, and just making some content online.

00:04:46.000 So we met a couple months ago at the Tate House.

00:04:50.000 That's correct.

00:04:50.000 And we didn't really know who you were.

00:04:52.000 A couple months ago.

00:04:53.000 It was October of 2022.

00:04:57.000 And you were raving about Bitcoin.

00:04:59.000 And how much is going to change the world.

00:05:01.000 What's your take on Bitcoin right now?

00:05:02.000 It's up really high right now.

00:05:04.000 Yeah, I think when we were initially talking about Bitcoin, it was in the middle of the bear market.

00:05:10.000 We were just going through the whole FTX fiasco.

00:05:14.000 We had a ton of situations take place with big scammers and crypto.

00:05:18.000 And people tend to lose hope in the bear market.

00:05:22.000 95% of people end up leaving.

00:05:24.000 But everything has a cycle.

00:05:26.000 Everything has a boom and a bust.

00:05:27.000 And if you're able to outlive the bear market, now you're able to celebrate the victories of all-time highs.

00:05:34.000 So Bitcoin is interesting.

00:05:37.000 Bitcoin is no longer what it used to be, which was seen as some sort of internet scam money or something that would just be used in the black market.

00:05:45.000 You said you bought your first BTC for $5.88.

00:05:47.000 When did you do that?

00:05:48.000 2016.

00:05:49.000 Okay.

00:05:49.000 Yeah, 2016, bought my first Bitcoin.

00:05:51.000 It was pretty good.

00:05:53.000 At the time, I was working a regular job, so it wasn't to my own credit, you know?

00:05:57.000 How many did you buy?

00:05:58.000 It was about three Bitcoin.

00:06:00.000 I was still a brokie back then, before I got into e-commerce.

00:06:03.000 It was part of the 2017-2018 bull run, but I made a ton of money, but I lost it all in the 2017-2018 bull run.

00:06:10.000 So I got back into e-commerce, did quite well in e-commerce, and then dumped all my money into crypto, famously, as most people know.

00:06:17.000 Into the 2021 bull run.

00:06:19.000 That's kind of where I made my name.

00:06:21.000 Made multiple eight figures there.

00:06:23.000 And then cashed out.

00:06:24.000 So was able to enjoy that.

00:06:26.000 You cashed out in 2021 or 2022?

00:06:29.000 2021.

00:06:30.000 And you were in Puerto Rico, right?

00:06:31.000 Now I'm in Puerto Rico, yeah.

00:06:32.000 Trying to save on those 0% capital gains taxes.

00:06:37.000 Everyone's there.

00:06:37.000 Logan Paul, you, some other guys in crypto as well.

00:06:40.000 There's a lot of big crypto guys out there.

00:06:42.000 It's quite the scene, but...

00:06:47.000 At the end of the day, I like Puerto Rico simply because it allows me to also relax and disconnect from a lot of the craziness.

00:06:54.000 Miami's fire.

00:06:55.000 Every time I come to Miami, I'm like, bro, I gotta spend some months over here.

00:07:01.000 But it's good, bro.

00:07:03.000 At the end of the day, Bitcoin is here to stay.

00:07:05.000 Cryptocurrency is here to stay.

00:07:06.000 It's no longer digital money, as people see as some sort of tokenized toy.

00:07:12.000 It's really the future of finance and the ecosystem that's built around it.

00:07:18.000 It's evolving.

00:07:19.000 And the reason it's evolving is because the people that control the narrative are evolving.

00:07:25.000 The old people are out. 1.00

00:07:26.000 The people that brought in the entire fiat system are slowly dying out.

00:07:31.000 And people are realizing the scam of fiat.

00:07:33.000 They're realizing the scam of fractionalized reserve banking.

00:07:38.000 And they're realizing that The government printing money out of thin air is no longer serving us.

00:07:46.000 So they're trying to flee to something else, and that's usually what takes place.

00:07:50.000 It just happens to be Bitcoin, and it's working.

00:07:54.000 I mean, you're on point.

00:07:54.000 We've just seen RIP. I won't see what the P stands for.

00:07:58.000 Someone just passed away, and he was a big contributor to the current marketplace that we're in right now.

00:08:04.000 I won't say who it is, though, but...

00:08:05.000 Oh, the Rothschild?

00:08:06.000 Yeah, Jacob Rothschild.

00:08:08.000 Jacob Rothschild passed away.

00:08:12.000 Interesting when a lot of people celebrate your death, huh?

00:08:14.000 Yeah, that was crazy.

00:08:15.000 I'll never celebrate someone's death, but the whole thing you mentioned, like freshman reserve banking, etc., you can thank them for that.

00:08:22.000 They are the banking industry.

00:08:24.000 Yeah, I mean, in 1913, the banks got together, the heads of banks, J.P. Morgan, amongst others, and they decided to pass the Federal Reserve Act.

00:08:34.000 Which gave the monetary power and the monetary policy to the Federal Reserve Banks.

00:08:38.000 Previous to that, banking institutions were kind of split into states or into smaller kind of ecosystems, but they wanted to nationalize everything to control it.

00:08:48.000 So people don't seem to understand because we're born into it.

00:08:52.000 But when you begin to realize that globalized money markets and globalized banking systems are a new phenomenon, you begin to ask, well, what existed before?

00:09:01.000 You know, peer-to-peer transactions, bartering systems, small communities.

00:09:05.000 And you could really be able to know how your money was moving, who was finessing you, who was keeping record of the books cleanly.

00:09:14.000 But nowadays, everything is so confusing.

00:09:16.000 Everything's so odd.

00:09:17.000 And the big thing that people are realizing is the fact that their purchasing power is going down.

00:09:23.000 People work extremely hard, but they can't seem to get out of the rat race. 1.00

00:09:26.000 They can't seem to be able to make more money.

00:09:28.000 And as soon as they make more money, here comes the U.S. government and prints $6 trillion out of thin air, gives hundreds of billions to foreign governments, and we're here just left supposed to work a nine-to-five.

00:09:39.000 We have our 401k retirement that doesn't end up really working.

00:09:43.000 So a lot of people are running away from these things, and they're trying to find safe havens in other places, and one of them is Bitcoin.

00:09:50.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:09:51.000 I mean, when the government's running around doing stupid stuff for money and giving it billions upon billions of dollars to Ukraine or Israel or whatever it may be, it's like you've got to take some of that back in your own hands and have your own financial independence because regular people can't even buy eggs or milk anymore.

00:10:03.000 It's starting to get crazy where they can't even buy groceries. 0.87

00:10:06.000 And I found it very interesting.

00:10:07.000 Tucker Carlson was in Russia, and while he was there, he did an interview with Poo, which I thought was a very interesting interview.

00:10:14.000 We talked about it quite a bit with the Tate Bros.

00:10:18.000 And when he was there, he went and bought some groceries.

00:10:20.000 And his whole team estimated that it was going to cost them a couple hundred bucks to buy groceries.

00:10:24.000 It ended up he was able to buy way more groceries for cheaper in Russia.

00:10:29.000 Or the fact that they were told that there was no groceries and that there was a food shortage in Russia.

00:10:36.000 There's a lot of propaganda, dude.

00:10:37.000 There's a lot of propaganda going on and people are waking up to it.

00:10:40.000 That's why you see a lot of censorship online because they have to control the narrative.

00:10:43.000 And the internet has just...

00:10:46.000 Allowed freedom to be expressed and shout out to the platforms that are allowing people to express alternative views that aren't necessarily mainstream.

00:10:54.000 Like Rumble, you know, because like, yeah, they'll hit you with a misinformation thing if you talk about certain things immediately, you know.

00:11:01.000 And, you know, people have always said, oh yeah, like Russia's nothing more than an economic gas station, etc.

00:11:05.000 But that's just simply not true from people going over there.

00:11:09.000 Moscow is thriving.

00:11:10.000 You look at the train stations over there versus the train stations here in the United States in New York City.

00:11:13.000 New York City is supposed to be like the beacon of like what a city should be in the world, right?

00:11:17.000 Like everyone's like, I want I want to go to New York City.

00:11:19.000 I want to go to Times Square, whatever.

00:11:20.000 And then they go and look at the NYC subways. 1.00

00:11:22.000 Dangerous, dirty, decrepit, fucked up. 0.99

00:11:25.000 And then you look at the ones in Moscow, it's like, there's Christmas trees up. 1.00

00:11:28.000 It's nice.

00:11:28.000 There's ornaments everywhere.

00:11:30.000 They don't got to worry about people stealing things.

00:11:31.000 We're forgetting the tunnels under the buildings.

00:11:35.000 Yeah, that too.

00:11:36.000 The tunnels as well.

00:11:38.000 So it's crazy, man.

00:11:41.000 Real quick, so you said, okay, so you had a regular job in 2016, and you bought some Bitcoin, you took a chance, you bought, like, three Bitcoins, so $1,500 worth.

00:11:49.000 That's crazy.

00:11:50.000 That's the equivalent of, like, $150K now, right?

00:11:52.000 Dude.

00:11:52.000 No, like, almost $200K, actually, because it's, like, $60K right now.

00:11:55.000 Yeah, $3 or $62.

00:11:57.000 Yeah, so about $1.80.

00:11:57.000 And then, what was your job back then in 2016?

00:12:01.000 So I started in 15.

00:12:02.000 I was waiting tables.

00:12:04.000 2016, I had a little marketing job, nothing serious.

00:12:06.000 But in 2016, I was introduced to Bitcoin, which was my introduction to just the digital world.

00:12:12.000 Gotcha.

00:12:12.000 So from there, I got introduced to e-commerce.

00:12:15.000 I got introduced to making money online.

00:12:17.000 Can you explain to the people what e-commerce is?

00:12:19.000 Because some people have heard it, but they don't necessarily know what it entails exactly.

00:12:24.000 Yeah, so e-commerce is if you buy from Amazon, you're participating in what is electronic commerce.

00:12:29.000 So electronic commerce is anything that has to do with buying and selling things online, products, services, goods.

00:12:35.000 It doesn't just have to be physical, it can be digital.

00:12:37.000 And it's where most people transact nowadays.

00:12:40.000 As much as people don't like to believe it, when you go on Amazon, you're not buying from Amazon the business.

00:12:45.000 You're actually buying...

00:12:47.000 From individuals that list their products on Amazon.

00:12:50.000 You have Shopify, which took off as a multi-billion dollar company now, where people are now listing their products and selling them.

00:12:56.000 You have dropshipping, which is basically your concept of arbitraging a product where you don't hold it and you sell it, and then you fulfill that order with the customer's money.

00:13:05.000 So that became really popular for many years due to the fact that it's low cost.

00:13:10.000 And now that Facebook and Instagram and TikTok rolled around, they give you access to advertising.

00:13:16.000 So you can advertise products so people are scrolling and they're able to see an ad.

00:13:20.000 If they like the product, they resonate with it, they buy it.

00:13:22.000 You have multi-billion dollars companies popping out of thin air.

00:13:25.000 You have the likes of Gymshark, for example, that we all know.

00:13:29.000 I think they did over $500 million in revenue this last year.

00:13:33.000 Oh, wow.

00:13:34.000 Literally just building it from an online business.

00:13:36.000 I think they opened up their first store in London recently, but it's a complete phenomenon.

00:13:40.000 I remember when it first started in like the early 2010s.

00:13:42.000 Exactly.

00:13:42.000 So you're able to scale and build real businesses online, and that's why I call it the digital gold rush.

00:13:48.000 You literally have the possibility and the ability to partake, not just on the internet as a consumer, but as a producer, and being able to take advantage of where most people spend their time, which is on their phones.

00:13:59.000 Most people aren't spending their time walking in malls, right?

00:14:03.000 Most people are on the internet.

00:14:05.000 So you need to go to where the attention is.

00:14:07.000 I always say where attention goes, money flows.

00:14:09.000 So where the attention is, which is online, you can make money.

00:14:12.000 So you just have to figure out what is of interest to people, find that niche, find that winning group of people that you would consider selling to, and just sell them something that is beneficial to them.

00:14:22.000 Speaking of money, what is the best business you would say for this year to make money in?

00:14:26.000 Best business model.

00:14:28.000 It depends.

00:14:29.000 It depends on what you're interested in doing.

00:14:30.000 You can be a content creator.

00:14:33.000 I think that that's a great possibility.

00:14:35.000 I think social media is something that is changing. 0.96

00:14:40.000 I think a couple years ago, a lot of people were bitches to the algorithm. 1.00

00:14:45.000 They had to post X amount of times to get engagement, or they had their Facebook group or their Facebook page, but now we have- Now we have the whole scenario that's taking place with the short form content. 0.65

00:14:58.000 And short form content just allows you to go viral in a way that isn't, you know, common.

00:15:03.000 So people are just able to create content and then eventually monetize that through building a community.

00:15:07.000 You can do that.

00:15:09.000 You can, once again, build an Amazon store.

00:15:11.000 You can build a Shopify store, sell quality products.

00:15:14.000 It really depends.

00:15:16.000 And you can even do services.

00:15:18.000 So there's a lot of people, you see fitness coaches, you see people that are consultants, and they monetize through selling a service online.

00:15:26.000 So taking anything that's happening physically and selling it digitally, instead of having a retail store that sells clothing in the corner of a...

00:15:34.000 Of a city, you basically just build an online store and you market.

00:15:38.000 Why?

00:15:38.000 Because there's more foot traffic and the traffic is 24-7.

00:15:41.000 And that's the difference is you're not limited by COVID, right?

00:15:45.000 So if you get shut down, a lot of businesses went bust.

00:15:47.000 Why?

00:15:48.000 Because there was no foot traffic.

00:15:49.000 There was too many regulations, too many rules.

00:15:52.000 So now people are able to build businesses online.

00:15:54.000 So I really think there's a plethora of places where you can make money, but there's three niches.

00:15:59.000 There's physical products, there are digital products.

00:16:01.000 And then you have services.

00:16:02.000 So digital products, you can have info products.

00:16:05.000 Right now we saw big plagiarism take place with the president of Harvard and a lot of highly reputable institutions.

00:16:14.000 They were running a lot of their PhD dissertations through AI and they found a lot of plagiarism.

00:16:22.000 From a lot of these individuals.

00:16:23.000 So a lot of these big institutions where we thought, hey, you can go and learn from these centralized institutions and get your degree and then get a job.

00:16:31.000 People are realizing that it's not really all that.

00:16:34.000 So there's a lot of info products taking place online, which I fully support.

00:16:37.000 You have physical products, the selling of goods, and then you have services, people selling marketing services.

00:16:43.000 You have people advertising on a Google ad, their plumbing service, their electrical services, whatever it may be.

00:16:51.000 But The internet is here to stay, and the ability to be open 24-7 is what absolutely revolutionized everything.

00:16:58.000 Yeah, and I think COVID made that even more important.

00:17:01.000 And I would say, I was thinking about this as I was walking through the mall a couple days ago.

00:17:07.000 We had a taco spot, that's pretty neat.

00:17:08.000 You walked through the mall?

00:17:09.000 Yeah, I walked through there to get to Tacoology.

00:17:11.000 Okay.

00:17:11.000 Yeah, I don't buy it.

00:17:12.000 That's a rare sighting.

00:17:13.000 But the point I'm trying to think is, I was like...

00:17:17.000 In 20 years, I think brick-and-mortar stores are going to be pretty much gone in the next 20 years, I think.

00:17:22.000 I think everyone is...

00:17:23.000 If you're not aligned, you're going to die, is what I think.

00:17:25.000 Because, like, I'm looking at these stores.

00:17:26.000 There's no one in them.

00:17:28.000 You know what I mean?

00:17:28.000 People are there maybe to take pictures or window shopping or whatever.

00:17:31.000 But these stores are fucking empty. 0.98

00:17:33.000 Especially the higher-end ones. 0.99

00:17:34.000 They're always empty.

00:17:35.000 You know what I mean?

00:17:35.000 And it's like one employee in there.

00:17:37.000 Like, how long can you sustain paying employees, keeping the lights on, paying the rent in one of these like lavish areas?

00:17:44.000 Yeah, premium real estate.

00:17:44.000 You know, premium real estate, right?

00:17:46.000 Because you're going to be paying 20, 30K at least a month.

00:17:48.000 Do you even make that much in revenue?

00:17:50.000 Like, honestly, to cover those costs?

00:17:52.000 So it's like, in my head, it's like...

00:17:54.000 The only logical way to go from this point forward is to go online, especially to compete with places like Amazon or Shopify or whatever it may be, where it's open 24-7.

00:18:05.000 Gymshark started as an online store.

00:18:06.000 I remember back when they started in 2011, 2012, etc.

00:18:09.000 Hell, ZZ was one of their first athletes that they had, and they were online only.

00:18:13.000 Yeah.

00:18:24.000 Yeah.

00:18:27.000 Yeah.

00:18:35.000 Online is the way to go.

00:18:36.000 And then you can kind of backward manufacture it where if you do well online, then open up a brick and mortar store in locations where there's a demand.

00:18:44.000 But I think the old business model, opening up a brick and mortar store, kind of seeing how it goes, and then opening up an online store isn't the way to go anymore.

00:18:51.000 I agree.

00:18:52.000 I agree because you have proof of concept.

00:18:54.000 Online, you have the ability to test so many different alternatives, so many different businesses, so many different niches till you find what works for you.

00:19:01.000 You don't have to commit to that one business.

00:19:05.000 Put up that money, front that money.

00:19:07.000 You don't have that risk.

00:19:08.000 You can test it.

00:19:09.000 You can find your winning audience.

00:19:10.000 You can build a couple social media pages and kind of figure it out.

00:19:12.000 And see where they're all concentrated.

00:19:14.000 Exactly.

00:19:14.000 And Gymshark, for them, they found out, wow, most of our sales come from London.

00:19:18.000 We're going to put our first store in London.

00:19:20.000 Boom.

00:19:21.000 And then they're able to kind of, because they have all that data where they can make an educated guess and decide where they're going to open up their first brick and mortar store.

00:19:27.000 And you mentioned fitness people as well.

00:19:29.000 I have friends in the industry, Brandon Carter, my boy Hakeem, where they started training people in person, but it was time consuming.

00:19:36.000 They couldn't really scale.

00:19:37.000 They went online, multiple people at one time from one Zoom call, multiple customers, and you have scale now.

00:19:43.000 It's a big help.

00:19:44.000 And he can charge them less.

00:19:45.000 And he bought a Lamborghini cash from his digital money.

00:19:48.000 So there you go.

00:19:50.000 So you said you started your first, so you were waiting tables, then you did marketing, and then you started your first e-com store.

00:19:55.000 Where are you selling at that e-com store?

00:19:57.000 I was selling household goods.

00:19:59.000 So that's what I would sell because it's something that people would need 24-7.

00:20:03.000 So I was like, what is an evergreen product that everybody needs?

00:20:06.000 So instead of finding soaps, anything that you would buy and have in your house. 0.95

00:20:12.000 Sobes, laundry detergents, sponges, the shit that people would actually need 24-7, I would just find alternative ways to sell it. 0.88

00:20:19.000 So instead of people going to Walmart, they would just buy from me. 0.85

00:20:23.000 So I would just build little small online shops and sell different products in the household niche because it's evergreen.

00:20:28.000 Were you selling it on Amazon?

00:20:29.000 Shopify.

00:20:30.000 Oh, you were selling them on Shopify.

00:20:31.000 Yeah, so you would just figure out how to arbitrage those and how to add a good narrative, a good spin to it, and it worked.

00:20:36.000 I did about $16 million in revenue selling household goods because it's something that people need.

00:20:42.000 All the time.

00:20:42.000 I didn't have to find a way to sell.

00:20:44.000 Over how long of a time span?

00:20:45.000 Three years.

00:20:46.000 Three years?

00:20:47.000 Wow.

00:20:47.000 So you were making like $7 million a year?

00:20:50.000 No, my first two years, I didn't do really good in my first two years.

00:20:53.000 It really took off during COVID. During COVID, it absolutely exploded because people couldn't go to the store.

00:20:59.000 Yeah.

00:20:59.000 What products?

00:21:00.000 So yeah, household goods.

00:21:02.000 So you would have your soaps, you would have your laundry detergents, and you would have kind of like your sanitation products.

00:21:08.000 Oh, that probably went crazy.

00:21:10.000 It went super crazy.

00:21:11.000 And what took place was people began to absolutely price gouge on Amazon, for example, would be like your hand sanitizers and things like this product. 0.98

00:21:22.000 Yeah, masks, that type of crap.

00:21:22.000 Yeah, so what happened is Facebook banned advertising these products.

00:21:26.000 So what did I do?

00:21:27.000 I said, well, let me switch the narrative and start taking these products and advertising it as pet products.

00:21:33.000 So now I said, these are sanitation products for your pets, which kind of circumvented the policy, and I just scaled it that way.

00:21:40.000 Okay.

00:21:41.000 So in the first two years, how much would you say you made?

00:21:44.000 About probably $3 million in sales.

00:21:46.000 You made $3 million.

00:21:46.000 And then the other $13 million came in the last year.

00:21:49.000 It took off in a year.

00:21:50.000 It took off in one year.

00:21:50.000 Okay.

00:21:51.000 And so you made all that money, and then you took it and you just put it into Bitcoin.

00:21:55.000 Or not Bitcoin, but crypto.

00:21:56.000 Yeah, put it into crypto.

00:21:57.000 I had a famous play.

00:21:59.000 It was a token called PancakeSwap.

00:22:01.000 I have it tattooed on the back of my neck.

00:22:03.000 Okay.

00:22:04.000 Which was, in 2019, a new meta or new narrative came into crypto, which was called DeFi, Decentralized Finance.

00:22:10.000 Where you basically don't have to go through a centralized exchange or you don't have to KYC. It's platforms that are built on layer ones or layer twos, the likes of Ethereum.

00:22:20.000 You would build products on top of that.

00:22:22.000 And there was something called Uniswap, which people use it nowadays to trade.

00:22:25.000 It came out in 2019.

00:22:26.000 I said, this is really interesting.

00:22:28.000 In 2020, CZ from Binance launched a chain called the BNB chain, the Binance Smart Chain.

00:22:35.000 And he had a token, the BNB token.

00:22:37.000 And the first platform that was a DeFi platform On the BNB chain, on the Binance Smart Chain, on the BSE chain, was PancakeSwap.

00:22:46.000 I bought 1% of the supply when it was $25 million market cap, put a quarter million dollars in, it went to $2.6 billion.

00:22:54.000 So it was almost 100x.

00:22:57.000 So you put $250k in?

00:22:59.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:01.000 Holy shit. 1.00

00:23:01.000 It was 1% of the supply. 1.00

00:23:02.000 Okay.

00:23:03.000 And then how much did you make off that 250k?

00:23:05.000 5.5 mil.

00:23:07.000 You made 5.5 mil?

00:23:08.000 5.5 mil.

00:23:09.000 Because I was like slowly scaling out.

00:23:10.000 I didn't sell the top.

00:23:12.000 I'm not a legend like that, but I wish I would have held it a little bit longer.

00:23:15.000 But I sold it.

00:23:16.000 I had one of the founders of FaZe Clan hit me up and he's like, hey, what do you think about SafeMoon?

00:23:20.000 I don't know if you guys remember the SafeMoon.

00:23:22.000 There's a SafeMoon project.

00:23:23.000 Yeah, it went bust.

00:23:23.000 So it went bust and I was like, okay, all these guys that don't know anything about crypto, I gotta sell, right?

00:23:28.000 Because they were there. 0.96

00:23:29.000 So it was a little bit early, but the entire shit coin ecosystem was birthed from there. 0.83

00:23:33.000 So I was a little bit early on the trend and did extremely well.

00:23:37.000 Nice.

00:23:38.000 So you put a quarter million, able to cash out 5.5 million.

00:23:43.000 Wow.

00:23:45.000 So you had made 13 mil.

00:23:47.000 In revenue.

00:23:48.000 In revenue.

00:23:49.000 Okay.

00:23:49.000 That didn't account for it because you obviously have to buy products.

00:23:51.000 You have your buy products.

00:23:53.000 Did you have a fulfillment shop and everything else like that?

00:23:56.000 It was drop shipping.

00:23:57.000 It was drop shipping.

00:23:57.000 So what I did is I would arbitrage it.

00:24:00.000 So I would pay for the ads up front.

00:24:02.000 People would buy the products and I would have my difference.

00:24:05.000 And off of the difference, I would buy the supply and then ship it.

00:24:09.000 And it was pretty good because then I would just order in bulk once you know the product is tested, ship it to the U.S., hold it there.

00:24:15.000 For example, like in February, the Chinese New Year rolls around, so all the manufacturers are closed, so you have to order inventory ahead of time.

00:24:24.000 And then once you're scaling, dropshipping no longer works because the factory has to keep up.

00:24:29.000 That doesn't really work.

00:24:30.000 So if you're scaling, I think our best month was almost $2 million.

00:24:34.000 You need a lot of inventory ahead of time.

00:24:36.000 You can't really drop ship that way.

00:24:38.000 Of course.

00:24:38.000 It worked extremely well.

00:24:41.000 How much would you say you...

00:24:42.000 So you grossed $13 million over three years, which is fantastic.

00:24:45.000 And then what would you say you...

00:24:46.000 Probably 40%.

00:24:48.000 You profited for it?

00:24:49.000 Probably 40%.

00:24:50.000 Okay, so like maybe...

00:24:52.000 3.5 or something along that line.

00:24:54.000 Okay.

00:24:55.000 The bulk of the money came in crypto, in investing and multiplying it.

00:24:58.000 So you took that money and you invested it into crypto?

00:25:00.000 All of it, because it was the plan, dude.

00:25:01.000 Because I was part of the 2017-2018 bull run.

00:25:04.000 I had a couple tens of thousands of dollars.

00:25:07.000 I did 160x in the 2017-2018 bull run.

00:25:11.000 So you believed in it?

00:25:11.000 I believe, well, I was in it.

00:25:13.000 I was in it.

00:25:14.000 I was in it.

00:25:14.000 And the thing that people don't seem to understand about crypto is that it's here to stay.

00:25:18.000 It's literally here to stay because if you, right now- I just sent you a tweet on, on Telegram, by the way, pull it up real quick.

00:25:24.000 You can literally right now go on your phone, download any of these DeFi wallets, backpack, Phantom, and within a couple minutes, anybody can be transacting the financial system.

00:25:35.000 You don't have to KYC. You don't have to submit your ID. You don't have to wait for somebody to give you approval.

00:25:39.000 Swift codes and all this bullshit. 1.00

00:25:40.000 None of this bullshit, dude. 0.99

00:25:42.000 Within two minutes, you have a USDT address. 0.99

00:25:45.000 I can send you $100,000 without a middleman.

00:25:47.000 That's absolutely phenomenal.

00:25:48.000 It's unprecedented ever, ever, ever in history.

00:25:51.000 And people are turning to that because they realize that the middleman is simply trying to control the narrative, not trying to protect you.

00:25:57.000 Yep.

00:25:57.000 Yep, the banks.

00:25:58.000 So, actually, matter of fact, I found this very interesting.

00:26:01.000 Edward Snowden tweeted this today.

00:26:03.000 He goes, prediction, a national government will be revealed this year to have been buying Bitcoin, the modern replacement for monetary gold, without having disclosed that fact publicly.

00:26:13.000 And I find this very interesting as well because we know that a lot of these big banks that have always said, oh, crypto is a lie.

00:26:19.000 It's a scam.

00:26:20.000 The JP Morgans, the Goldman Sachs, all these guys that have always been like anti-cryptocurrency, right?

00:26:24.000 That tell you, go ahead and invest in S&P 500. 0.98

00:26:26.000 They give you that traditional bullshit financial advice. 0.97

00:26:29.000 They've been buying crypto. 0.99

00:26:30.000 They won't tell you that they've been buying crypto, but they've been buying it the whole time.

00:26:33.000 If you can pull up Luke Belmar Medium, Predictions 2024, I actually predicted that governments would actually start beginning to add Bitcoin to their balance sheet because it's a safe haven.

00:26:43.000 Because what if you are El Salvador? 0.89

00:26:45.000 What if you are Argentina?

00:26:48.000 What if you are some European country that is still bound to the monetary policy of the United States?

00:26:54.000 You have no control when the US dollar is going to print more money, or when the Fed's going to print more money, when they're going to print more US dollars.

00:26:59.000 So you need to find safe havens, treasury bills, Are no longer really a safe haven.

00:27:04.000 So you need to be in a situation where you kind of begin to limit the exposure that you have to the bad policy of governments.

00:27:14.000 So imagine the US dollar can just continue to exist and the government can continue to print more dollars because they pay off their own debt by printing more money.

00:27:24.000 But what if you don't have the ability to print more dollars? 1.00

00:27:26.000 You're fucked. 1.00

00:27:27.000 And that's every other government. 1.00

00:27:29.000 Yep.

00:27:29.000 So if you go to...

00:27:30.000 And they're not the reserve dollar.

00:27:31.000 Exactly.

00:27:32.000 They're not the reserve currency.

00:27:33.000 I don't think people get it. 0.99

00:27:34.000 The only reason we're able to continue to print money and do the stupid shit that we're doing in the United States is because we are the reserve currency. 0.99

00:27:40.000 Everyone does their deals in U.S. dollars for oil. 0.99

00:27:43.000 But BRICS is trying to contest that right now with Russia, Brazil, many other countries coming together, trying to create another currency to topple the U.S. dollar. 0.99

00:27:52.000 Gaddafi tried to do it actually where he wanted to unite all of Africa and they killed his ass. 0.99

00:27:55.000 So... 0.98

00:27:57.000 There's many challenges to the U.S. dollar.

00:27:59.000 And I'll say this too, while we're at the time of recording of this episode right now on February 28th, Bitcoin right now is $61,296. 0.98

00:28:09.000 Fucking crazy, bro. 0.98

00:28:10.000 And you think it's going to hit... 1.00

00:28:12.000 I mean, yeah, pull up the article real quick.

00:28:14.000 Scroll down to money and markets.

00:28:15.000 I tend to make predictions once a year or so.

00:28:19.000 For example, new countries begin...

00:28:23.000 New countries begin conversations toward Bitcoin as legal tender.

00:28:26.000 So right now we have El Salvador, which legalized Bitcoin as real money, which means anytime a sovereign nation legalizes tender, the IMF has to basically say, hey, this is money.

00:28:42.000 So after El Salvador did it, Bitcoin has become real money.

00:28:46.000 It's no longer a what if, it's no longer a maybe, it's here to stay.

00:28:51.000 Yeah, absolutely crazy.

00:28:53.000 I agree with you.

00:28:54.000 And here's the thing, too.

00:28:56.000 I'll admit that I'm pretty biased.

00:28:57.000 I'm a real estate guy.

00:28:58.000 I'm not a crypto guy.

00:28:59.000 I do have crypto because I do believe in it, and I think it's the future. 0.96

00:29:01.000 But, I mean, even as a traditional investor, whether you're a stock guy, you're an S&P 500 index fund guy, you want to be a real estate guy, precious metals, whatever it may be, I think everyone now at this point understands that if you don't have cryptocurrency in your investment portfolio, you're fucking up.

00:29:17.000 Because it's probably one of the best...

00:29:20.000 Actually, not even.

00:29:21.000 Bitcoin is the best performing asset of the decade.

00:29:23.000 Hands down.

00:29:24.000 Yeah, it is the best performing asset class.

00:29:25.000 Well, they said it was a scam.

00:29:27.000 So, I mean, some people aren't believing it.

00:29:29.000 Yeah.

00:29:30.000 So, I don't know.

00:29:31.000 And that's fine.

00:29:31.000 The people that don't believe it, you just have to look at their financial literacy.

00:29:34.000 And you have to look at how much they understand about history.

00:29:37.000 Because when you start looking back at history, you begin to understand that the beginning of transactions was peer-to-peer.

00:29:44.000 It was bartering.

00:29:46.000 There was a technological limitation because let's say you had a cow and I had three plots of land.

00:29:53.000 Well, what if the three plots of land were worth three-fourths of a cow?

00:29:56.000 There was no ability to really scale and build any sort of civilization until the introduction of coinage.

00:30:04.000 And coinage wasn't just...

00:30:06.000 A monetary revolution.

00:30:07.000 It's a technological advancement.

00:30:09.000 Why?

00:30:09.000 Because it can stand the test of time.

00:30:13.000 It can be transported very easily.

00:30:15.000 So Bitcoin is just a digitalization of coinage in a way that is easy to transact.

00:30:21.000 If I was to take $100,000 from here to Dubai in gold bars, I would get stopped.

00:30:27.000 I would get questioned.

00:30:28.000 You'd have to declare that too.

00:30:29.000 But I don't have to do that with crypto.

00:30:30.000 Yeah.

00:30:31.000 Because I don't have to go through the middleman.

00:30:33.000 Exactly.

00:30:34.000 I can just have a ledger.

00:30:34.000 I can have a treasure.

00:30:35.000 I can literally just move it really quickly.

00:30:37.000 And what I've come to realize is they've weaponized money, right?

00:30:43.000 To keep people in control.

00:30:45.000 And Bitcoin is an attempt to kind of move away from that weaponization into sovereignty so that we can once again go back to bartering peer-to-peer.

00:30:53.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:30:54.000 And the government obviously wants to get involved in that so they can collect their little bit and then also regulate it and be like, oh, well, we're going to take our cut.

00:31:02.000 Because that's the only reason why they want to regulate it, is they want to get their money too. 0.55

00:31:05.000 And think about it, not just them, but it's the banks.

00:31:08.000 So, for example, think about the taxation process from the moment you buy a good till the end of the transaction.

00:31:16.000 I pay you for a good, I pay 7%.

00:31:18.000 Now you have to pay taxes on that.

00:31:21.000 If you use the remainder of that money to buy something else, that gets taxed.

00:31:25.000 Not only does it get taxed, but there's credit card fees on every single transaction that takes place.

00:31:29.000 So what happens if you get rid of these transactions, these middlemen?

00:31:33.000 These people can no longer make money, which obviously is their business.

00:31:36.000 People think that the business of the bank is to hold your money.

00:31:38.000 No, they make money on remittances.

00:31:40.000 They make money on investing the things that you deposit.

00:31:43.000 So when you begin to understand the banking system, you begin to understand the scam that it is.

00:31:48.000 And that you don't actually need it.

00:31:49.000 And Bitcoin, which is just kind of like the introductory to this entire ecosystem that is digital money, has allowed people to realize that you don't need banks.

00:31:59.000 You just need technology that is fast enough, efficient enough, and trustworthy through code because you're trusting code.

00:32:05.000 You can see code.

00:32:06.000 You don't have to trust a middleman.

00:32:07.000 You don't have to trust an individual who usually has alternative motives.

00:32:10.000 Yeah.

00:32:11.000 Not only that, I find it interesting how people trust the banks or whatever, and it's like, oh yeah, because they make money off of you putting money in there, and then as soon as you give them that money, they take it and they throw it somewhere else.

00:32:21.000 They're giving it to someone that wants to invest it.

00:32:23.000 That's what they want to do.

00:32:24.000 That's how they make their money.

00:32:25.000 That's correct.

00:32:26.000 They make money on lending money on interest.

00:32:29.000 Yeah, so the creation of, for example, the paper money, paper money was just a proof of ownership.

00:32:35.000 That's all it was.

00:32:37.000 Because, for example, let's say you had $100,000 worth of tokens or coins, you would just deposit that in the bank and the bank would give you a receipt.

00:32:46.000 People began to transact this receipt as the proof of money.

00:32:50.000 So the fiat currency that we see today is just proof that you have money.

00:32:55.000 It's no longer money, it's debt.

00:32:56.000 And the moment you deposit the money inside the bank account, it's no longer yours.

00:33:01.000 That's what people don't seem to understand.

00:33:02.000 If you look at the terms and conditions, that's why it's FDIC insured up to $250,000 because everything else is literally seen as you lending money to the bank.

00:33:12.000 That's why you get 0.01% interest because it's a loan.

00:33:16.000 And now the deposit is no longer seen as...

00:33:21.000 A deposit, it's seen as a liability.

00:33:23.000 Everything that the bank holds is a liability because they're loaning out to you with interest when you deposit it in there.

00:33:30.000 And then we can talk about the fractionalization of that.

00:33:32.000 Anytime you deposit money, the bank has the ability to fractionalize that nine times.

00:33:36.000 So you have the printing and printing and printing of infinite money.

00:33:38.000 When you begin to realize that the only loud circulating supply through the Constitution was $300 million, everything else is fake.

00:33:45.000 Everything else is just printed to fractionalize.

00:33:47.000 The interesting part is the bank is only responsible for holding 2-3% of how much money they're supposed to be holding.

00:33:54.000 And for all the people that say, oh no, it's my money, blah blah blah, go to a bank and ask for 50k.

00:33:59.000 Watch them shut that bank down, bro.

00:34:02.000 They're going to shut that bank down to give you that, if they even have it there.

00:34:06.000 You know, you will not be able to get that money out, you know, let's say you, oh, I gotta go buy a house or some shit, or I gotta buy a car, I gotta make a big purchase, whatever, and you have 50K in there, $100,000 in there, $20,000 in there, let's say $10,000.

00:34:18.000 They're gonna ask you a bunch of questions, they might not be able to give you that money that day.

00:34:21.000 That's the crazy part.

00:34:23.000 I agree.

00:34:23.000 And you got to hope that the money's there.

00:34:25.000 Actually, Grant Cardone went to withdraw, I think, like a million dollars from the bank, and they gave him hell to get it out.

00:34:30.000 Yeah!

00:34:31.000 He couldn't get it out!

00:34:32.000 Couldn't even get his own money out, bro.

00:34:34.000 One million.

00:34:34.000 Yeah, and that's crazy.

00:34:35.000 And then if you want to deposit, it's even funnier.

00:34:37.000 They're going to shut the bank.

00:34:38.000 If you got like 100K and you want to deposit in there, they're going to shut the bank down and ask you a bunch of questions.

00:34:42.000 Well, add to that, look what happened in Canada with the truckers that basically said, hey, we're going to stand up because we actually don't like what the government is doing.

00:34:54.000 And they started freezing bank accounts.

00:34:56.000 I think...

00:34:58.000 For them and for anyone that was helping them.

00:34:59.000 You know James O'Keefe, the guy that does the undercover news reporting?

00:35:03.000 Have you seen him?

00:35:04.000 That name sounds very familiar.

00:35:05.000 He used to be part of something called Veritas, which is like a media company that kind of discloses certain things undercover.

00:35:14.000 They just nuked an IRS agent from the Criminal Investigation Department, and he confessed that the Department of Justice actually has AI tracking all bank accounts right now.

00:35:29.000 I believe that.

00:35:29.000 So now you're no longer safe.

00:35:31.000 You don't have this idea of privacy.

00:35:34.000 Privacy does not exist.

00:35:35.000 It's an illusion.

00:35:36.000 So anytime you enter a centralized system, you're under their rules and their control.

00:35:39.000 And for people that don't understand that, that's fine. 1.00

00:35:41.000 You can just be fucked. 0.99

00:35:42.000 You can continue living on your U.S. dollar. 1.00

00:35:44.000 You can continue doing your thing, and you'll just have to deal with the consequences later on.

00:35:47.000 It's very simple.

00:35:48.000 We're not here to convince anybody about it. 0.90

00:35:50.000 When Bitcoin was fucking $500, $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000, and everybody considered it toy money, That's fine. 0.69

00:35:58.000 You can continue believing that, but it all comes down to people's lack of financial literacy. 0.91

00:36:03.000 And this is what I always tell people.

00:36:04.000 Every time that there's any sovereign power, what they want to keep you is illiterate.

00:36:10.000 500, 1,000 years ago, the church would keep you illiterate from reading Latin.

00:36:14.000 Why?

00:36:14.000 Because they were the connection between you and God.

00:36:17.000 Yeah.

00:36:19.000 Yeah.

00:36:41.000 No, absolutely.

00:36:42.000 Well said.

00:36:43.000 Quick word, real quick.

00:36:44.000 Today's sponsor, T. Chanley.

00:36:48.000 Listen guys, we get it.

00:36:50.000 You're out here dating girls, trying to be the man of the hour, but you don't look clean.

00:36:54.000 You're not fresh, like me.

00:36:56.000 So listen man, get T. Chanley Brothers.

00:36:58.000 It's simple to use, easy to use as well.

00:37:00.000 There's a card here to follow, morning and evening, and as well as a.m., p.m.

00:37:04.000 for you to use as well.

00:37:05.000 So for face wash, you want to use it in the shower.

00:37:07.000 It's pretty good.

00:37:08.000 They have a daily scrub as well, a.m.

00:37:10.000 and p.m.

00:37:11.000 And for most people, listen, man, I get it.

00:37:13.000 For guys, skincare is not a real thing.

00:37:14.000 But listen, you want to look good, smell good, have that fresh look when you go on a date, just teach Hanley. 0.99

00:37:20.000 Yeah, guys, if you're tired of having fucked up skin and looking like crap, go ahead and get some goddamn TJ Hanley, man, because a lot of you guys don't take care of yourselves. 0.99

00:37:26.000 Your guys' teeth are dirty, your skin is dirty, it's all patched up, whatever it may be. 1.00

00:37:29.000 We're going to talk about that probably from drinking tap water, right, Luke?

00:37:32.000 So, yeah, man, if you want to keep that youthful glow looking good and everything else like that, man, make sure you take care of your skin, guys.

00:37:38.000 Self-care is very important.

00:37:39.000 Obviously, take care of your money, take care of your skin, take care of your health, and live long so that you can go ahead and invest in some goddamn crypto or whatever, maybe, so you can make some money.

00:37:47.000 Use our link, 30% off, pinned in the comments, down below in the description box.

00:37:51.000 Yeah, man. 0.93

00:37:51.000 Stop being ugly, guys. 0.93

00:37:52.000 Take care of yourself. 0.98

00:37:53.000 Hygiene always.

00:37:54.000 Absolutely.

00:37:55.000 Speaking of which, that actually transitions right into next, because we were going to talk about tap water a little bit, right?

00:37:59.000 Go ahead.

00:38:01.000 So, here's the debate going on here, guys, like, secretly, where tap water versus bottled water, and Myron is of the opinion, tap water, Luke is of the opinion, bottled water.

00:38:12.000 I mean, I don't really care.

00:38:13.000 I just drink water.

00:38:14.000 Tell us, Luke, on your stance on water.

00:38:16.000 Okay.

00:38:17.000 Yeah, I mean, tap water is another source of control.

00:38:21.000 You have heavy metal toxicity that is found in the water, you have arsenic, you have fluoride, fluoridation in the water, all things designed to make people more docile.

00:38:34.000 And when you begin to study history, you begin to realize that they control water, they control the food supply, and they use it as mechanisms to poison people.

00:38:43.000 Anything that comes from the government and everything that is free should be questioned.

00:38:47.000 And that's kind of the entire parameter that I kind of run it through.

00:38:50.000 So you begin to look at pipes and the pipes that the water supply runs through, and they are pretty nasty.

00:38:57.000 So if you have the ability to have clean water or at least have a reverse osmosis filtration system, do it.

00:39:03.000 Because I don't trust the government.

00:39:04.000 I don't trust what they put in the water.

00:39:07.000 And I try to protect myself from heavy metals, from arsenic, from mercury that they find in the waters.

00:39:14.000 Just takes a couple searches and you can find the quality of the water supply in your area.

00:39:18.000 In fact, I did it for Puerto Rico since I lived there.

00:39:21.000 They found that the water supply is worse than Michigan, Flint, Michigan. 1.00

00:39:27.000 Oh, shit. 0.99

00:39:28.000 And for those that don't know, Flint, Michigan had a crisis a couple of years ago. 1.00

00:39:32.000 They made a whole Netflix documentary on the water crisis over there.

00:39:37.000 What's the best water to drink, Luke, from your research?

00:39:40.000 And how would someone go about finding out if the water in the area is terrible?

00:39:43.000 Yeah, you can probably run some sort of test.

00:39:46.000 There's like some tap water companies that you just send some tests and it's like $50, $100.

00:39:51.000 Or there's websites that tell you the quality of the water supply online.

00:39:54.000 I wouldn't know the website off the top of my head.

00:39:56.000 But if you have the ability to drink glass-bottled spring water that's fluoride-free, that is the best alternative.

00:40:03.000 If you're unable to do that, get a reverse osmosis water filtration system that allows you to cleanse the water as much as possible from water.

00:40:12.000 All these heavy metals and all these toxins that are clearly in there.

00:40:16.000 I think it was either you or Nate showing me a chart of all the waters and pH levels.

00:40:20.000 Dasani was really bad.

00:40:22.000 Yeah.

00:40:22.000 Dasani is just basically bottled tap water that's run by Coca-Cola and all these big manufacturing companies and Nestle and things of this nature.

00:40:31.000 So I try to stay away from water because, I mean, we're comprised mostly of water.

00:40:35.000 So if you can take care of your water, you take care of your health.

00:40:39.000 Yeah.

00:40:39.000 And I noticed this too when I was abroad.

00:40:44.000 The food here, the water here, everything, there's signs, right? 0.80

00:40:49.000 Why do we have so many fat people? 1.00

00:40:50.000 Why do we have the highest levels of heart disease?

00:40:54.000 Why are all the people in the United States just unhealthy in general compared to other places that have far less resources and far less food than we do?

00:41:01.000 Why are we the fattest country?

00:41:02.000 And I mean, yeah, absolutely. 0.99

00:41:03.000 The food, the water, it's all fucked up. 1.00

00:41:05.000 100%. 0.99

00:41:06.000 I spent some time in Asia.

00:41:08.000 Specifically, I was in Bali and a couple of these islands where they actually care about organic food and growing food in their own land.

00:41:16.000 And people are like quite healthy, dude.

00:41:19.000 People are highly, highly, highly mobile when you see them at the gym.

00:41:23.000 And then I land here today. 1.00

00:41:25.000 I'm like, dude, people are fucking diseased. 1.00

00:41:27.000 People are overweight. 1.00

00:41:28.000 People look depressed.

00:41:30.000 And Miami is one of the fittest cities in America.

00:41:31.000 You go to other places, go to Texas.

00:41:34.000 Bro, we were in London.

00:41:35.000 It was depressing, bro.

00:41:36.000 No offense to London, but hey, man.

00:41:38.000 The books were very depressing.

00:41:40.000 You go to other places in the United States, like Miami is considered one of the fittest cities.

00:41:43.000 We don't have as many fat people as other parts, but go to Orlando.

00:41:46.000 Just take a few hours up north.

00:41:48.000 Fort Myers?

00:41:48.000 Yeah, Fort Myers.

00:41:49.000 Bro, you see the obesity.

00:41:50.000 Go to Texas.

00:41:51.000 Go to anywhere here in And it's not normal, dude.

00:41:55.000 It's not normal.

00:41:56.000 It's not normal what they're doing to the food.

00:41:58.000 But once again, it's just the weaponization of what we like to call public commodities.

00:42:02.000 So people think, oh, just water is free.

00:42:04.000 Yeah, but at what cost?

00:42:06.000 So sometimes you just have to shill out the extra dollar to take care of your health.

00:42:09.000 And I'm a big advocate for it because it just happens to be something that is true.

00:42:13.000 It helps with brain clarity.

00:42:15.000 It reduces mental fog.

00:42:17.000 And a big thing right now, you probably remember the video from Alex Jones where he talked about the frogs are becoming gay, which is basically the feminization of the frogs.

00:42:29.000 And that's what I believe is a cause for the feminization of men.

00:42:33.000 So you have what is estrogen.

00:42:36.000 We can talk about the birth control pill.

00:42:38.000 Orally, when you take it, 90-plus percent of that gets urinated because pills don't actually get digested extremely well.

00:42:45.000 So that's just high levels of estrogen getting urinated by 100 million-plus women. 0.79

00:42:50.000 The treatment plants aren't...

00:43:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:43:13.000 It sounds like a conspiracy, but hey, at the end of the day, what I've come to realize is that if you do your research and you actually begin to investigate the source origin of a lot of these problems, it has to do with the public things that the government feeds you.

00:43:28.000 Well, yeah, everything's been a lie.

00:43:29.000 They lied about JFK, they lied about 9-11.

00:43:31.000 I mean, this coming from a guy who's a former government employee, you know what I mean?

00:43:34.000 Even me, I've been like, what the hell?

00:43:37.000 I do think that tap water isn't optimal, right?

00:43:40.000 Have I drank it in the past or whatever?

00:43:41.000 Yeah.

00:43:41.000 I would say I have a pretty healthy lifestyle, so the tap water I don't think is going to kill me because I do everything else fairly good.

00:43:49.000 But definitely I agree with you that if you can get away from tap water, you probably should because, yeah, the pipes are fucked up. 0.99

00:43:55.000 And here's the other thing, too, so that you know that tap water is fucked up. 0.99

00:43:59.000 I'll never forget, when I was living in Georgia for a while, in Glencoe, Georgia, when I was going to the academy there, and the water tasted really fucking bad. 0.97

00:44:07.000 And then other places, you know, you'll go and drink tap water.

00:44:10.000 There were some parts in Texas where I lived in, like, the water tasted bad.

00:44:12.000 I was like, something's wrong here.

00:44:13.000 Like, it tastes different depending on where you are geographically.

00:44:17.000 Something's off here.

00:44:18.000 So, you know, obviously, if you can drink bottled water, always go with bottled water, right?

00:44:21.000 Which I always try to do.

00:44:22.000 Um...

00:44:23.000 And then Dasani, I'd heard that stuff about Dasani, but yeah, I mean, it's made by Coke. 0.99

00:44:27.000 They don't go, fuck, they just want to make Coke. 0.99

00:44:29.000 So what's new? 0.99

00:44:31.000 But yeah, sorry, were you going to say something?

00:44:33.000 Some shots here real quick?

00:44:34.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:44:36.000 Modern life dating. 1.00

00:44:38.000 Shit, I got to get my glasses. 1.00

00:44:39.000 Fresh, go ahead. 1.00

00:44:40.000 MLD says, you guys forgot to mention all the feminizing hormones in the sat party in the USA from women on birth control. 0.84

00:44:46.000 BTC, 100K by end of year.

00:44:49.000 Yep, looks at it.

00:44:51.000 We have here as well...

00:44:53.000 Let's see.

00:44:54.000 Let's go to the bottom?

00:44:56.000 Okay.

00:44:58.000 Glitchville.

00:44:59.000 Luke, please tell FNF that real estate is a tool of the matrix to control you, and you won't get rich off of it.

00:45:06.000 At the best, it's a store of value and not a cash cow.

00:45:09.000 I mean, I don't have a lot of real estate, so I can't really give my opinion about it.

00:45:13.000 I definitely think real estate has its pros, but it also has its cons.

00:45:19.000 You can make money in multiple different ways.

00:45:22.000 If you have the ability to have some real estate, why not?

00:45:26.000 It's just the diversification of your assets.

00:45:30.000 Yeah.

00:45:49.000 Yeah.

00:45:49.000 It's the number one creator of millionaires.

00:45:51.000 And another thing too, bro, that you got to understand is that it's probably one of the best hedges against inflation.

00:45:57.000 Yeah.

00:45:57.000 You know, as inflation gets worse and worse, your real estate actually gets better because it's going up in value.

00:46:03.000 And remember, you paid way less for it back when you got it.

00:46:06.000 So it's actually one of the best hedges against inflation, man.

00:46:08.000 And taxes too.

00:46:09.000 And taxes as well.

00:46:11.000 And it's a great...

00:46:11.000 And then you can always borrow against it because remember, when you get a loan, it's not a taxable event.

00:46:16.000 So yeah.

00:46:17.000 Yeah.

00:46:17.000 What else do we got here?

00:46:19.000 But again, we tell you how to be diversified, guys.

00:46:20.000 Have everything.

00:46:22.000 WFNF, still the biggest podcast in Miami, not even close.

00:46:24.000 Can we kick out this hippie, anorexic, horse seller and cover Jacob Rothschilds, our academic?

00:46:31.000 Bro, this guy just wasted 20 bucks. 0.98

00:46:33.000 Yeah, bro, why?

00:46:34.000 I will say, though, the academic saga with Meek Mill and Diddy is going crazy, bro. 0.99

00:46:40.000 Yo, that shit's going... 0.99

00:46:41.000 Sorry, my bad. 0.99

00:46:42.000 I just find it very exciting, but...

00:46:44.000 You want to give the people a summary since you brought it up anyway?

00:46:47.000 Well, there's a new court document going around where Meek Mill and Usher were unofficially named in this document being with Diddy sexually.

00:47:02.000 Allegedly, of course.

00:47:03.000 We're not saying that it happened.

00:47:04.000 We're just saying it's out there.

00:47:06.000 A rapper from Philly who did Nicki Minaj.

00:47:10.000 Who is that, bro?

00:47:11.000 And here's the other thing, too, that's interesting.

00:47:13.000 It's like, now, you know, since Cassie made that money, everyone wants to come at Diddy, I guess, and come up with these allegations.

00:47:20.000 That's wild, though, bro.

00:47:21.000 Yeah, we'll see what happens, man. 1.00

00:47:22.000 Damn, man. 1.00

00:47:23.000 Crazy. 1.00

00:47:23.000 And he came to Andrew Tate, Meek Mill. 1.00

00:47:26.000 Oh yeah, he did it. 0.98

00:47:27.000 He obviously gave the nigga a response. 1.00

00:47:29.000 Yo, ain't you getting hit with traffic or something like that? 1.00

00:47:31.000 Like, bro, shut up. 0.99

00:47:32.000 Hey man, did he traffic to you? 0.99

00:47:33.000 Yeah, I was about to say it, man.

00:47:34.000 Oh my God, bro.

00:47:36.000 Hey man, don't hurt me, Meek.

00:47:37.000 Yeah, Jacob Calloway goes, of all your current strongest held convictions, which one would you be least surprised to see you change your mind to the opposite?

00:47:47.000 What?

00:47:47.000 In five years.

00:47:48.000 In five years.

00:47:49.000 Also, shout out to Nate when she was on the panel too.

00:47:53.000 I think that's a question for you Luke.

00:47:54.000 Yeah, I mean, just figure out what works for you.

00:47:57.000 At the end of the day, it's just figuring out what is causing you to be unhealthy.

00:48:02.000 If you're overweight, figure out if it's the seed oils that you're consuming.

00:48:05.000 If you have brain fog, figure out if it's the tap water, if it's your lack of sleep.

00:48:09.000 And just figure out how to live a healthy lifestyle.

00:48:11.000 At the end of the day, it's not just one thing.

00:48:13.000 It's a culmination of every action that you put together.

00:48:15.000 So you need to be able to be conscientious about what you eat, how you move, what you drink.

00:48:21.000 And it's a culmination of everything.

00:48:24.000 So you need to live a full, healthy lifestyle across the board.

00:48:28.000 And that's what matters.

00:48:29.000 At the end of the day, nobody can really oppose the fact that we live in a society that is not really running at optimal levels.

00:48:37.000 And if you want to run at optimal levels and beat your competition and be at the top 1% of operating humans, you're going to have to do things that the bots aren't willing to do. 0.99

00:48:46.000 The bots like their seed oils, the bots like their tap water, and they always say, fuck the gym. 1.00

00:48:50.000 And that's just basically the outcome of their life. 0.99

00:48:52.000 So just do the opposite of what the average individual is doing and you'll probably live a better life.

00:48:56.000 Yeah.

00:48:57.000 And the average person, guys, is fat as hell, doesn't have any money, doesn't have even $1,000 in savings, can't cover a $500 expense without going into debt.

00:49:06.000 No ambition.

00:49:07.000 It's easier than ever to be better than average.

00:49:10.000 And if you are in that situation, you can change.

00:49:12.000 And that's the beauty of the internet is it proves to you that there are places where people are pushing you towards becoming a better version of yourself.

00:49:20.000 So if you're fat, you can change that.

00:49:22.000 As long as you recognize your current condition, don't lie to yourself.

00:49:25.000 Don't wear that oversized hoodie, right?

00:49:27.000 Look at yourself in the mirror and be like, hmm, I can actually change.

00:49:29.000 That guy that's shredded with enough work, with enough dedication, I can be like that.

00:49:33.000 If you feel lethargic because you continue eating McDonald's and you continue eating these seed oils, you can realize, hey, I can change my diet.

00:49:39.000 I can eat a whole food diet.

00:49:41.000 If you actually feel depressed, maybe go to the gym and maybe get your hormones in check.

00:49:47.000 And maybe that'll allow you to stop going to the, what do you call this?

00:49:53.000 Where is it that people go to?

00:49:54.000 What are the people?

00:49:55.000 The psychologists.

00:49:57.000 Oh yeah, psychiatrists.

00:49:58.000 Psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists.

00:50:00.000 But it's like, why are you going to go to somebody else for your problems?

00:50:03.000 Maybe you should figure out what is taking place with yourself first and start from that point.

00:50:08.000 All right.

00:50:09.000 Let's see here.

00:50:10.000 Avenger Centio goes, I'm a Cast Club member, Myron Fresh and Luke.

00:50:14.000 Always remember this quote from Dukran as you become more successful.

00:50:17.000 Whatever blessings you have, they come from Allah and whatever hardships comes your way, it is him you seek for help.

00:50:25.000 Okay.

00:50:26.000 We got here.

00:50:29.000 Ben Franklin.

00:50:29.000 Ben Franklin goes, I called in a couple months ago.

00:50:32.000 I was the brokie out in the big O. I'm working three jobs, 6.30 a.m. 0.75

00:50:37.000 to 11 p.m., six days a week.

00:50:39.000 Any suggestions for sourcing and when to go to the gym?

00:50:42.000 Bro, if you're a brokie, don't even focus on girls, man. 1.00

00:50:45.000 Like, a lot of you guys, man, are out here trying to get chicks and everything else like that, and you're fucking bums, and then you wonder why girls don't respect you or take you seriously. 0.99

00:50:54.000 Like, get your money on point first, man. 0.99

00:50:56.000 I mean, you can socialize here and there, but it absolutely should not be a priority. 0.99

00:51:00.000 A lot of you guys put women as their priority, and that is why you're fucking broke and poor. 0.96

00:51:03.000 I think everyone who was successful on some level took a break from girls to, I want to say, learn skills to acquire the wealth. 0.99

00:51:09.000 But when you're free after working all that time, maybe.

00:51:13.000 But even then.

00:51:14.000 You only have X amount of time in the day.

00:51:16.000 So if you haven't invested in yourself, why are you going to invest that time into somebody else?

00:51:21.000 It just makes absolutely no sense.

00:51:23.000 I think people need to start elevating themselves and eventually the right woman will come. 1.00

00:51:28.000 People want the top tier woman, but they're You know, not the top tier dude. 1.00

00:51:33.000 So therefore, you're just going to attract what you are.

00:51:35.000 And that's not what you want to do.

00:51:37.000 Level up.

00:51:38.000 Guys, refresh the page.

00:51:39.000 I know some of you guys are saying something about lag or audio or whatever.

00:51:44.000 Just refresh.

00:51:46.000 Yeah, it's lagging on YouTube.

00:51:47.000 On Rumble, it's fine.

00:51:49.000 So just refresh your page and you should be fine, guys.

00:51:52.000 That's what will fix the problem.

00:51:54.000 But we're good on our end.

00:51:55.000 Mo, you double checked.

00:51:56.000 Yeah.

00:51:58.000 Yeah, so the audio is fine.

00:51:59.000 You just gotta refresh your page, guys, and you'll be fine.

00:52:02.000 If not, just come on over to rumble.rumble.com slash freshandfit.

00:52:04.000 It's fine over there on Rumble.

00:52:07.000 Yo, well, you know, YouTube might be centering this conversation.

00:52:10.000 They want you all to drink tap water, I guess.

00:52:12.000 Myron, yo, Myron, we need a stream weekly where you react to current picks?

00:52:18.000 Like what?

00:52:18.000 Topics.

00:52:19.000 Oh, topics.

00:52:19.000 Okay.

00:52:20.000 What?

00:52:21.000 Oh, Bill's are killing me right now, man.

00:52:23.000 Yeah, because of the, yeah.

00:52:25.000 Okay. 0.92

00:52:26.000 Current topics like Omelay, Meek Mill, etc., and why y'all have this dork on. 0.50

00:52:30.000 He's a wannabe Tate. 0.99

00:52:31.000 He is a scammer. 1.00

00:52:33.000 Fake teeth, fraud giraffe looking motherfucker. 1.00

00:52:35.000 FNF is too big for a fraud guest like this. 1.00

00:52:37.000 Do you want to respond to that, Luke, or do you want to just ignore him?

00:52:39.000 It's up to you, bro.

00:52:39.000 I mean, he just wasted $10.

00:52:41.000 So thank you, bro, for the money.

00:52:43.000 Shout out to the boys.

00:52:44.000 I've never understood, like, here's the thing, guys.

00:52:47.000 Some guests we bring on, y'all might like.

00:52:49.000 Some guests you guys might not like.

00:52:50.000 However, if a bunch of people say, yo, we want to see the person on and we bring them on, it's like, then if you don't like the person, just don't watch the episode, man.

00:52:56.000 I never will understand the concept of, yo, I don't like this person, so let me go ahead and comment in, send a super chat in to say I don't like this person.

00:53:04.000 It's hilarious.

00:53:05.000 It's hilarious.

00:53:06.000 People that have no life are absolutely in a situation where they spend their money to get their voice heard.

00:53:12.000 Well, guess what?

00:53:13.000 We're going to continue doing our thing, continue making our money, continue elevating and doing our thing.

00:53:16.000 So thank you for the $10, homie. 0.98

00:53:18.000 Appreciate you.

00:53:19.000 This is the new TV, bro.

00:53:21.000 It's crazy, bro.

00:53:22.000 It's such a joke.

00:53:22.000 You know what you would do?

00:53:23.000 Get a remote, change channels.

00:53:25.000 Same thing here.

00:53:26.000 Don't watch this episode.

00:53:28.000 This is crazy, man.

00:53:29.000 For example, I like to listen to Jerome Rogan every now and then. 0.99

00:53:33.000 He might bring on some guests and I'm like, what the fuck? 0.99

00:53:35.000 Why is that person on? 0.99

00:53:36.000 I don't want to listen to this.

00:53:37.000 But I'm not going to go to that video, comment below, yo, why'd you bring this person on?

00:53:43.000 I'm just not going to watch.

00:53:44.000 No, it's just funny that people spend their money.

00:53:46.000 That's the best part.

00:53:47.000 Thank you for the $10, homie. 0.96

00:53:50.000 Send another $10, please, or send another $10 with another message.

00:53:53.000 We'll read it again.

00:53:54.000 Thank you for your money, homie. 0.99

00:53:55.000 Because you might not like him, but a lot of people have been asking for Luke for months.

00:53:58.000 Yeah, literally.

00:53:58.000 So it's like, bro, he's here.

00:53:59.000 How about you make your own show and bring your own guests?

00:54:03.000 And then we'll tell you to your face.

00:54:04.000 But he's not going to make his own show because it's usually the people that hate. 1.00

00:54:08.000 They're usually little goblins in the bottom of the bridge that have opinions about shit. 0.98

00:54:12.000 They're never the ones that are actually doing stuff. 0.99

00:54:14.000 Brokies.

00:54:15.000 Dude, everybody hates from the bottom, but I've never found people hating from the top.

00:54:20.000 Rarely do I find people hating from the top.

00:54:22.000 It's always the little goblins underneath the bridge, and it's just what it is.

00:54:26.000 Send another $10, please.

00:54:27.000 Strange.

00:54:29.000 Yeah.

00:54:30.000 Okay, we got Avengers Sentinel.

00:54:32.000 Luke, I can't overstate how big of an inspiration you are to me. 0.60

00:54:34.000 I fucking love you, brother. 0.96

00:54:35.000 My G. May God continue to bless, protect, and inspire you. 0.99

00:54:39.000 Alhamdulillah.

00:54:40.000 Bam.

00:54:40.000 It's a lot of people's support, man.

00:54:42.000 What else we got here?

00:54:43.000 Let's just do a cucko. 1.00

00:54:44.000 Okay.

00:54:45.000 For Fresh, with an L guest again, community, this guy is Tate Copycat as well.

00:54:51.000 Just get Sneeko instead. 0.99

00:54:54.000 Fresh sucks. 0.99

00:54:54.000 Myron goes solo. 0.99

00:54:55.000 Fresh is holding you back.

00:54:56.000 Bro, see, like, you guys, like, and it's interesting, because if we brought Sneeko in here, people would say, why is Sneeko here?

00:55:03.000 He's the leaf in the wind.

00:55:05.000 It's like, y'all find something negative to say about every one of our guests, bro. 1.00

00:55:09.000 Y'all shit on me, you guys shit on Fresh, you shit on Luke, you shit on fucking Sneeko. 1.00

00:55:13.000 It's like, bro, we bring any guests on, it's like, y'all got something to say, man. 1.00

00:55:16.000 And y'all been asking for it for months.

00:55:17.000 It's internet, bro.

00:55:18.000 Yes, internet.

00:55:19.000 That's what it is.

00:55:19.000 We'll continue on.

00:55:20.000 I broke up my girl 14M... 14 what?

00:55:24.000 Minutes ago.

00:55:25.000 Minutes ago?

00:55:26.000 Months?

00:55:27.000 Months ago.

00:55:27.000 Probably months.

00:55:28.000 I'm considering her now because I know most things will be on my term and she will listen, be submissive, and she's honest.

00:55:34.000 But now...

00:55:35.000 But no, she had sex just one time with a guy about at the one year mark of me not talking to her.

00:55:42.000 What do you do? 0.88

00:55:44.000 No, bro.

00:55:44.000 I wouldn't.

00:55:45.000 I wouldn't.

00:55:45.000 If you broke up with her, probably...

00:55:47.000 She broke up with you, right? 1.00

00:55:48.000 Or you broke up with her, she probably fucked up. 0.99

00:55:50.000 So, I mean, I wouldn't take her back, but that's on you if you want to do that. 0.99

00:55:54.000 I'm not going...

00:55:54.000 Yo, have you seen the Omelie?

00:55:56.000 No.

00:55:57.000 Chase Smash 1, dude, by the way.

00:55:58.000 It's probably more.

00:55:59.000 Have you seen the Slim Jimmy and this girl that's married debacle that's going on on the internet right now?

00:56:06.000 No.

00:56:08.000 I wish we had a talk about today.

00:56:09.000 I mean, we'll talk about it later, but like, basically, Slim Jimmy, our boy, you know, from Swilly.

00:56:14.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:56:15.000 You're a boy, nigga. 1.00

00:56:16.000 Well, my boy. 0.97

00:56:17.000 Rich Sherman.

00:56:19.000 He actually was exposed by his girl because he was talking to this woman when I was married, in London, by the way, and this guy's, sorry, she's married to this UK, like, rapper, so to speak, but she's cheating with apparently Slim Jimmy from the past.

00:56:35.000 And even though, like, she's married to this guy, she's still talking to Slim Jimmy non-stop.

00:56:41.000 So it's almost like he married her, took her on trips, gave her the world, retired her, basically, and she's still cheating on him.

00:56:48.000 By the way, she messaged Slim Jimmy on Valentine's Day with her man.

00:56:52.000 Wild, but... 0.93

00:56:53.000 Clown world.

00:56:54.000 Clown world, bro. 0.65

00:56:55.000 Clown world. 0.77

00:56:55.000 Yep. 0.77

00:56:57.000 Slang Hanger goes, glad to see the goats together. 0.59

00:57:01.000 Do you guys have any suggestions, of course, on how to increase communication skills?

00:57:04.000 Thanks for everything you gentlemen do.

00:57:06.000 You gonna think, bro?

00:57:07.000 Start speaking.

00:57:08.000 Start talking, dude.

00:57:10.000 Open up your mouth, read a dictionary out loud.

00:57:13.000 Might be helpful for you.

00:57:14.000 You don't need a course on public speaking.

00:57:16.000 You just have to start doing it.

00:57:17.000 I'll tell you something I did for a bit.

00:57:19.000 Go ahead, guys, and download the dictionary app and then learn one new word a day.

00:57:22.000 You see?

00:57:23.000 And that'll help you increase your vocabulary.

00:57:25.000 I will tell you this.

00:57:26.000 I did that earlier.

00:57:27.000 That was my homework.

00:57:28.000 Did I do it correctly?

00:57:29.000 No, but...

00:57:30.000 That was my homework.

00:57:32.000 This guy, man.

00:57:34.000 All right.

00:57:35.000 But you're never going to be good at first, you know?

00:57:37.000 You have to get over yourself. 0.98

00:57:38.000 You have to understand that you have to look like a fool in the beginning in order to become a master later and just get over yourself. 0.98

00:57:45.000 Understand that nobody actually really cares. 0.98

00:57:47.000 People are going to hate you regardless whether you're the best person or the worst person in the room.

00:57:52.000 Just do your thing.

00:57:52.000 Make your money.

00:57:53.000 Level up.

00:57:54.000 Take care of your family and live your life, bro.

00:57:56.000 It's pretty chill.

00:57:57.000 Boom.

00:57:57.000 Good point.

00:57:59.000 Austin LeClaire goes, Glad Luke is on the greatest podcast on earth.

00:58:03.000 With Bitcoin halving and all this crypto craziness, what would you do with 5k to make the best return?

00:58:08.000 All in ETH or Solana, alternate coins.

00:58:12.000 Thank you.

00:58:12.000 Bam, of course you're free.

00:58:14.000 Yeah, I mean, you have Ethereum right now being one of the leading narratives.

00:58:19.000 We have the Ethereum ETF that's going to be taking place.

00:58:22.000 I think BlackRock filed for an Ethereum ETF in November.

00:58:26.000 Yes, yes.

00:58:26.000 And it's going to be finalized, I think, in May or whatever for their approvals?

00:58:31.000 It will get approved.

00:58:32.000 It's going to get approved in your...

00:58:33.000 BlackRock does not lose ETF approval.

00:58:35.000 So when that takes place, once the Bitcoin narrative kind of calms down a little bit post-halving, altcoins tend to run.

00:58:42.000 So you have your large caps, your medium caps, your small caps, and you have your meme coins, and then the cycle kind of shuffles back in and out.

00:58:49.000 What do you predict is going to happen with Ethereum?

00:58:52.000 Because one of my crypto buddies, you know, Charlie, shout out to him from, no, sorry, it was actually Miguel from Dollar Cost Crypto, hit me up and said, hey, how much Ethereum do you have?

00:59:01.000 And I told him, and he was like, you need to get some more because this, exactly what you said.

00:59:06.000 You mentioned the thing with BlackRock and then the ETF that is going to get approved for an ETF and he predicts it's going to shoot up.

00:59:12.000 What do you think as far as like, what are we looking at for prices for Ethereum?

00:59:16.000 Because I think Ethereum is- So you have, it's called the EVM. It's the Ethereum virtual machine.

00:59:23.000 All these projects and products are built upon it.

00:59:26.000 So it's a layer one.

00:59:27.000 It's what's called the monolithic cryptocurrency at this point, like Bitcoin.

00:59:31.000 Things are being built upon it.

00:59:32.000 So they're ecosystems at this point.

00:59:34.000 So in order to transact on this ecosystem, you need Ethereum.

00:59:38.000 So people just use it as that currency.

00:59:40.000 Plus you have the ETF approvals.

00:59:42.000 As soon as it becomes approved as an ETF, what that means is institutions now say, okay, green light to start investing.

00:59:49.000 Not only that, but it's also deflationary.

00:59:51.000 So you have all these aspects taking place.

00:59:54.000 I think Ethereum has a bright future, but if you're looking to multiply 5k, it really depends on your risk tolerance.

01:00:00.000 But I wouldn't be out here listening to tweets.

01:00:03.000 I would do some research, figure out where you see a narrative moving, and put that money to work.

01:00:08.000 You know, it's interesting because people have been telling me that for years that Ethereum is going to be a $10,000 asset very soon.

01:00:15.000 And do you think we might get that this year with it becoming an ETF? It depends.

01:00:20.000 I think it depends also where Bitcoin ends.

01:00:22.000 Okay.

01:00:23.000 But everything follows Bitcoin.

01:00:26.000 Everything follows Bitcoin.

01:00:27.000 But right now we're sitting at about $3,300.

01:00:29.000 In January, we're sitting at $2,100.

01:00:32.000 So it's already up quite a bit.

01:00:33.000 Yeah.

01:00:34.000 But at the end of the day, it's better than keeping just USD. At the end of the day, the USD is...

01:00:39.000 3,400 as of this moment right now.

01:00:42.000 Okay, so it's up even a little bit more.

01:00:43.000 Yeah.

01:00:44.000 So you only see these markets going up.

01:00:47.000 And at the end of the day, if you miss out on the bull run, so be it.

01:00:50.000 It doesn't really make a difference.

01:00:52.000 It doesn't affect my bank account.

01:00:53.000 It doesn't affect my bottom balance.

01:00:55.000 And yeah, just make sure you don't lose.

01:00:57.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:00:58.000 We don't have shit to sell right now anyway, by the way. 0.95

01:01:00.000 Just letting y'all know. 0.95

01:01:01.000 We're just telling you guys...

01:01:02.000 Crypto markets are going up, and you should invest.

01:01:05.000 If you guys are investing, we told y'all a couple months ago with the course, you guys would be up right now.

01:01:09.000 We've been told the highs from Miguel and Charlie.

01:01:12.000 Yeah, they predicted it.

01:01:13.000 Bitcoin, $100K, Ethereum, $10K. I mean...

01:01:17.000 Yeah.

01:01:18.000 So would you say, what, 2025 potentially?

01:01:20.000 We're going to be looking at $10,000 Ethereum?

01:01:22.000 I don't know.

01:01:23.000 I just know it's there.

01:01:24.000 I don't like to predict times.

01:01:26.000 It's more so the fact that it will happen.

01:01:29.000 Just like people said, hey, Bitcoin's going to hit $100,000.

01:01:31.000 You can't predict when it's going to hit $100,000.

01:01:33.000 You just know that eventually it'll come.

01:01:35.000 So you believe that as well, that Bitcoin will be a $100,000 coin?

01:01:38.000 Bitcoin will continue to go up because the government is continuing to print dollars.

01:01:43.000 And it's not the fact that Bitcoin is just becoming more valuable.

01:01:46.000 It's also the fact that the dollar is becoming less valuable.

01:01:50.000 So you need to understand that it's limited supply versus infinite supply, and that things are priced in dollars.

01:01:55.000 So the more the US dollar gets printed, the more the currency gets devalued, the more Bitcoin is going to go up.

01:02:01.000 It's not backed by nothing.

01:02:04.000 It's backed by real energy.

01:02:05.000 It costs money in order to mine a Bitcoin.

01:02:08.000 Right now, I think it's about $45,000 or $47,000 to mine a Bitcoin.

01:02:12.000 That's the energy cost that it takes to mine a Bitcoin.

01:02:17.000 Yes, there's more than 21 million millionaires, and there are circulating supply for Bitcoin, considering what's left over off of everybody that's lost their tokens and stuff of this nature.

01:02:30.000 Not everybody's going to be able to own a Bitcoin.

01:02:32.000 So once we hit supply shock and not everybody is able to get their hands on, that's when people are going to start running to the doors to get some.

01:02:39.000 So get in early.

01:02:41.000 The people that call it a scam, well, they're usually financially illiterate people, and that's totally fine.

01:02:46.000 And I want to get your take on this.

01:02:51.000 I've realized that Bitcoin has exploded over the past five or six years or whatever it may be.

01:02:56.000 I remember when Bitcoin was like $3,000 a coin.

01:02:59.000 Now it's 60-some thousand.

01:03:00.000 Would you say it's a little too high for most people to get in and they should look elsewhere, maybe into Ethereum or Solana or one of these other alternative coins that have a bright future?

01:03:09.000 Yeah, it's just understanding ecosystems and understanding where the narrative is.

01:03:13.000 So you have narratives, which is long-term plays, and then you have trends.

01:03:16.000 The trends are like people playing short-term trends.

01:03:19.000 I think AI is a big narrative.

01:03:21.000 I think gaming is a big narrative.

01:03:23.000 And...

01:03:24.000 Yeah, I just think people just have to pay attention to the crypto market.

01:03:28.000 I don't think people should turn their eyes away from them and from these tokens and these products because they're real.

01:03:34.000 They're here to stay and people are building real technology upon it.

01:03:37.000 People are saying AI is not going to come out for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years.

01:03:42.000 Here it is.

01:03:42.000 And in six months, it completely revolutionized the way that people work.

01:03:46.000 Where is it going to be in five years?

01:03:47.000 Where is it going to be in 10 years?

01:03:48.000 Are you just going to continue going to university?

01:03:50.000 Getting a regular degree or you're gonna take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime, which is the fact that AI, digital currencies, social media, making money online, building digital businesses isn't going anywhere.

01:04:03.000 The internet has been around for 25 plus years.

01:04:07.000 It ain't going anywhere.

01:04:08.000 It's the new gold rush.

01:04:09.000 I call it the digital gold rush.

01:04:11.000 And it was 1958.

01:04:12.000 It was 1858.

01:04:14.000 And the rumors in California were spreading to the East saying, hey, there's gold, there's gold, there's gold.

01:04:20.000 People 20 years in were probably like, hey, once all the gold was mined or the gold, most of it was mined, oh, well, it's the end.

01:04:27.000 Well, it wasn't the end because a 200-year gold industry was created from it.

01:04:30.000 So a 200-year internet industry is being built and is being created from the birth of the internet, and we just happen to be lucky enough to be at the inception part of it, which comes with a lot of scams.

01:04:42.000 It comes with a lot of risk, but no risk, no reward.

01:04:47.000 Yeah.

01:04:48.000 I think, when in doubt, buy Ethereum, guys.

01:04:51.000 I mean, Bitcoin might be a little too high for the average person to get in, but I think all of you guys should have enough money to get maybe one Ethereum, two Ethereum.

01:04:57.000 You know, over the course of a year, you should be able to save up the money and get it instead of spending that money on some chick that doesn't like you. 1.00

01:05:02.000 I mean, we've seen the time gap here has been pretty safe throughout everything.

01:05:06.000 Yeah, it's been going up, right?

01:05:07.000 I mean, and if you can bear, I think the big thing is also what you mentioned at the top of the show is, you know, you need to be able to stick it out, right?

01:05:14.000 Because people think, oh my God, I'm losing money.

01:05:16.000 You don't lose money until you pull your money out.

01:05:19.000 Don't forget that, guys.

01:05:20.000 Because a lot of people think, like, I'm losing money, blah, blah, blah.

01:05:22.000 It's never a loss until you pull the money out.

01:05:24.000 And if you can wait long enough, you're almost always going to be profitable.

01:05:28.000 Unless you're in a safe mode.

01:05:29.000 The thing I always tell people is one of the biggest scams of the U.S. dollar is thinking that one U.S. dollar has always been worth one U.S. dollar.

01:05:39.000 In the 40s, you could buy a house for a couple thousand dollars.

01:05:42.000 One, two years of work, working at a regular factory, you could buy a home.

01:05:47.000 On a single income, too.

01:05:48.000 Exactly.

01:05:49.000 So nowadays, you can't even buy a house with...

01:06:04.000 I think?

01:06:13.000 Trillions.

01:06:13.000 Six, seven trillion dollars were printed.

01:06:15.000 What does that mean to you?

01:06:16.000 What does that mean to your money?

01:06:18.000 And then look up a purchasing power calculator.

01:06:21.000 What is the purchasing power of your dollar from 2021, which is very simple, not very far ago, to now?

01:06:29.000 And the purchasing power is, I think, about 15%.

01:06:32.000 So your purchasing power has gone down in three years about 15%. 0.87

01:06:35.000 It's absolutely ridiculous. 0.88

01:06:36.000 What do you think? 0.93

01:06:37.000 The government's going to stop printing?

01:06:38.000 Yeah.

01:06:39.000 When you have the printers, you're just going to continue printing.

01:06:41.000 Not only that, a lot of people don't know this.

01:06:43.000 Something crazy like 50% of the dollars in circulation were printed during the COVID time period.

01:06:51.000 So it's like, yeah, something wild like around 40% to 50% of the dollars in circulation.

01:06:56.000 It might be less now because we've been printing so much more money.

01:06:58.000 But regardless, let's say it's 25%, 30%. 0.98

01:07:01.000 That's still fucking crazy. 0.96

01:07:02.000 That's a lot. 0.96

01:07:03.000 That percentage of money that's out in circulation right now was printed only four years ago during the pandemic.

01:07:09.000 Stimulus checks.

01:07:10.000 And it's not the thing that things are getting more expensive.

01:07:14.000 It's that your money is becoming worthless.

01:07:16.000 Yeah.

01:07:17.000 So what they're doing is they're not just stealing your money.

01:07:20.000 They're stealing the value of your work.

01:07:24.000 We're good to go. 1.00

01:07:47.000 Cash, like an idiot. 1.00

01:07:48.000 Cash. 1.00

01:07:49.000 Today, that money would be worth a lot less.

01:07:52.000 So what does that mean?

01:07:53.000 That means that they've stolen the value, initial value of your purchasing power.

01:07:58.000 They've stolen the initial value of your time and they've just printed it.

01:08:01.000 They do it through taxation and they do it through the printing of money.

01:08:05.000 And once people wake up to this, especially if you're overseas, if you're in America, okay, I get it because we have the world reserve currency. 0.99

01:08:10.000 But if you're overseas, you're just getting fucked. 0.99

01:08:12.000 It's even worse. 1.00

01:08:12.000 Time and time and time again. 1.00

01:08:14.000 Because you're not just competing against your own inflation.

01:08:16.000 You're also competing against the fact that the US is debasing you.

01:08:19.000 It's crazy, dude.

01:08:20.000 It's absolutely crazy. 1.00

01:08:21.000 You Canadians need to be the most pissed off that Trudeau is fucking you guys up that bad. 0.99

01:08:24.000 Because the Canadian dollar I've seen has been taking some of the biggest hits, man. 0.99

01:08:29.000 It's wild to me.

01:08:31.000 And I like that you mentioned that.

01:08:33.000 The worst thing you can do right now that I'm realizing is keeping cash in the bank.

01:08:38.000 That's the worst thing you can do right now with the way things are.

01:08:42.000 It's like, you need to take that money and put it into something that's going to at least hold its value.

01:08:46.000 Because if you don't do it, the bank will do it for you.

01:08:48.000 Yeah, they're doing it.

01:08:49.000 The bank does it.

01:08:50.000 On their behalf.

01:08:50.000 Yeah, they're getting your money.

01:08:52.000 Bro, they're getting rid of it immediately! 1.00

01:08:54.000 Your dumb ass is like, I'll do my money for me! 1.00

01:08:56.000 Okay, we got you! 1.00

01:08:57.000 They put that shit immediately to work. 1.00

01:09:00.000 Hey, you want to buy real estate? 1.00

01:09:01.000 Oh, you want to buy something? 1.00

01:09:02.000 Okay, here's a fucking loan, asshole. 1.00

01:09:04.000 And then pay me back on interest. 1.00

01:09:05.000 Yeah, that's what it gets you.

01:09:07.000 That's what it is, man.

01:09:09.000 Um...

01:09:09.000 Alright, what do we got here?

01:09:11.000 I'm considering relocating from SoCal to Miami.

01:09:14.000 I love Brickell when visiting.

01:09:16.000 Knowing everything you guys know now, what advice would each of you give to somebody moving to MIA? Thanks, love the show and all the content.

01:09:22.000 Actually, I'm really glad you brought this up.

01:09:24.000 You mentioned state income taxes scam.

01:09:26.000 I agree with you.

01:09:27.000 Yo, if you guys live in a state that's- New York? 0.99

01:09:31.000 That state income tax and you're an entrepreneur, what the fuck are you doing? 0.99

01:09:33.000 Bro. 0.98

01:09:34.000 You need to get to Texas, Florida, Nevada, I'm trying to think of another state, New Hampshire, somewhere that doesn't have state income tax.

01:09:41.000 You want to talk about that?

01:09:42.000 I mean, your biggest expense is taxes.

01:09:45.000 People have normalized taxes.

01:09:46.000 When you begin to realize the origin of income tax, it was created post-World War II and it's supposed to be temporary.

01:09:52.000 And they ended up keeping it and continuing to increase it time and time again.

01:09:57.000 You think they're just going to lower it? 0.99

01:09:58.000 No, they're going to continue fucking you over. 1.00

01:10:00.000 Income tax is a scam. 0.99

01:10:02.000 And when you understand that they're trying to steal from you...

01:10:07.000 If you have a job, the first thing I would tell you is never do that auto-signing where they take money from your check.

01:10:13.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:10:13.000 Never do that.

01:10:14.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:10:15.000 Always do your taxes at the end of the year yourself.

01:10:17.000 Manage your own money.

01:10:19.000 You're better off paying them a little bit and keeping that money throughout the year than just giving it to them and getting a refund.

01:10:25.000 Just invest it and hopefully you can make a return on it before you show it out. 0.99

01:10:30.000 Because, you know, like an idiot, I used to do that when I worked for the government. 1.00

01:10:33.000 Like, I just let them take whatever and I'd get a refund check like a moron. 1.00

01:10:37.000 Nah, man. 1.00

01:10:37.000 And you're like, oh, I'm making money. 1.00

01:10:39.000 No, you're not making money.

01:10:40.000 What you need to understand is that you cannot depend on another person for financial literacy.

01:10:45.000 To take care of you.

01:10:47.000 To protect you.

01:10:48.000 It doesn't work that way.

01:10:49.000 You've been lied to.

01:10:50.000 You've been deceived into thinking that how the world works is how it's presented.

01:10:56.000 And it's not that way.

01:10:58.000 If you're financially illiterate, go pick up a book on financial literacy.

01:11:01.000 Go pick up the basics.

01:11:02.000 If you aren't educated on business, go pick up a book on the basics of business.

01:11:06.000 If you don't know how to speak, go pick up...

01:11:08.000 If you don't know your rights, go read the Bill of Rights.

01:11:11.000 You know?

01:11:12.000 Most people live in this country, they say this is a land of opportunity, a land of freedom.

01:11:15.000 They don't even know their rights.

01:11:16.000 So go get informed.

01:11:17.000 Go get educated. 0.99

01:11:19.000 If not, you're going to be in a situation where you're going to continue getting fucked time and time again. 0.99

01:11:22.000 We see it throughout history. 0.99

01:11:24.000 The brokies, the peasants, they always get the short end of the stick. 1.00

01:11:28.000 And it comes down to not knowing.

01:11:30.000 And not knowing.

01:11:31.000 Not knowing.

01:11:31.000 You have to elevate your consciousness.

01:11:33.000 You have to elevate your education. 0.99

01:11:35.000 Otherwise, you're going to be screwed. 0.99

01:11:37.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:11:37.000 Good point. 0.99

01:11:38.000 We got here, what is Luke's birthday?

01:11:41.000 That's a weird question.

01:11:42.000 Luke, you don't have to answer that if you don't want to, but it's up to you.

01:11:45.000 Weirdo.

01:11:46.000 Thanks for the $11.

01:11:48.000 Question for Luke.

01:11:49.000 I'm late to the party, but how would you recommend someone who owns no crypto to move forward investing at this point in time?

01:11:56.000 A 20 years old waiting table, so pretty little income.

01:12:01.000 I think altcoins are for the higher upside potential.

01:12:05.000 I mean, yeah, if you're working a regular job right now, what you need to figure out is how to make more money.

01:12:12.000 That's the most important thing.

01:12:13.000 You're talking about investing, but you don't have much to invest, so your returns aren't going to be astronomical.

01:12:17.000 What you need to do is figure out how to have a better job.

01:12:21.000 How to get paid more.

01:12:22.000 So be in a situation where you elevate your bank account.

01:12:26.000 I was talking with a very successful entrepreneur in Singapore recently, and he said, the people that make money are the people that solve problems.

01:12:35.000 And Elon Musk said it best.

01:12:36.000 He said, you get paid in proportion to the difficulty of the problems that you solve.

01:12:40.000 So if you want to solve big problems, you'll get paid big bucks.

01:12:43.000 A lot of people are out here solving insignificant problems that make them replaceable.

01:12:48.000 So you're not going to get paid a lot because you're not worth a lot to the marketplace.

01:12:51.000 So if you don't have a lot of money, don't be worrying about crypto.

01:12:54.000 Don't be worrying about the money.

01:12:55.000 Focus on how to level up your skill set, how to provide value, how to solve problems, and go get a better job.

01:13:01.000 I wouldn't say go get a job that is a 9 to 5 that gets you paid hourly.

01:13:04.000 I like sales, things that get you paid for your effort.

01:13:08.000 But I think it comes down to...

01:13:11.000 Leveling up your income first before you start investing.

01:13:13.000 What do you think?

01:13:14.000 I agree.

01:13:14.000 A lot of people have an earning problem.

01:13:16.000 The thing is that people say, I want to invest, I invest.

01:13:18.000 You're never going to save yourself to being rich.

01:13:21.000 You can invest yourself to being rich, but you're going to need some kind of capital to invest where you're actually able to get some type of return.

01:13:29.000 Yeah, bro.

01:13:29.000 You have an earning problem, my friend.

01:13:31.000 You need to make more money.

01:13:32.000 That's what it comes down to.

01:13:33.000 And having a skill will help you with that.

01:13:35.000 I don't have an issue with guys having 9-to-5s.

01:13:37.000 If you're going to have a 9-to-5, it needs to be a high-income skill type job.

01:13:40.000 And the funny part is, when you have a high-income skill, a lot of times you don't have to work a 9-to-5. 0.99

01:13:44.000 Let's say you're a fucking surgeon. 0.99

01:13:45.000 Those guys might do one or two surgeries a month, dude. 1.00

01:13:47.000 You know what I mean?

01:13:48.000 Obviously, they go to school for a period of time, but they make a bunch of money.

01:13:50.000 Let's say you're a lawyer.

01:13:51.000 You might not work nine to five, right?

01:13:53.000 You kind of work your own hours depending on what type of legal, what kind of law you practice, etc. 0.95

01:13:57.000 Because I know there's some lawyers that work all the time, but then there's other lawyers that don't do shit and they make a bunch of money. 0.99

01:14:01.000 Corporate law, that type of shit. 0.99

01:14:02.000 Somebody made a really good comment here. 1.00

01:14:04.000 I said, learn to trade.

01:14:05.000 I always have work.

01:14:07.000 And what's interesting is I was listening to an interview by the owner of NVIDIA. And it's the biggest chip manufacturer of AI in the world.

01:14:19.000 And he said the people that are going to absolutely benefit from AI are the people with trade jobs.

01:14:24.000 What happens when the farmer begins utilizing AI to optimize their job?

01:14:28.000 What happens when the plumber begins to use AI? What happens when the electrician or the construction worker begins to utilize AI? Because AI can't necessarily replace a lot of these things, so you can utilize them to get richer and to get ahead.

01:14:38.000 So yeah, trade jobs are absolutely amazing, and you don't have to shell out a ton of money to some centralized institution in order to have people to get a job.

01:14:46.000 And people don't want to do them.

01:14:47.000 Yeah, people don't want to get their hands It's dirty, dude.

01:14:49.000 I mean, I started working waiting tables.

01:14:51.000 I pressure washed basketball courts.

01:14:53.000 I cleaned toilets.

01:14:53.000 I did what I had to do, and I just fell into digital business, and it worked.

01:14:57.000 But it's not for everybody.

01:14:58.000 I completely understand that.

01:15:00.000 But you can make a ton of money.

01:15:01.000 I see people making six figures a year, having a trade job, and mad respect because we need those individuals.

01:15:05.000 Now use AI, tap into that, and learn how to increase your income.

01:15:09.000 Maybe you have to go hire a right-hand person and give them a couple jobs and take 20% off of that.

01:15:15.000 That's the beauty of having you.

01:15:16.000 One of these blue-collar jobs is like, let's say you start off as a plumber.

01:15:18.000 You figure out how to be a plumber.

01:15:20.000 You're like, you know what?

01:15:20.000 I know how to do this.

01:15:21.000 I can manage other people.

01:15:22.000 And then you can start your own plumbing business, and you already know how to do it.

01:15:25.000 And then you can go ahead and hire other people and then scale up from there and make a bunch of money doing that as well.

01:15:29.000 So it gives you a skill set where you'll always have work, and then you're always going to need plumbers.

01:15:33.000 You're always going to need HVAC people.

01:15:33.000 You're always going to need people that need you to come in and do these manual labor jobs.

01:15:36.000 And a lot of people don't want to do them, especially nowadays.

01:15:38.000 There was something crazy.

01:15:39.000 I think right after the pandemic or whatever, like a year or two after, people were saying they were struggling to find employees.

01:15:44.000 Like, people don't want to work, bro.

01:15:46.000 Yeah, everybody wants to get rich off of a crypto pump, and it's just not the reality of the situation.

01:15:52.000 It's just not the reality of the situation.

01:15:53.000 Most people lose money.

01:15:54.000 I mean, I understand I'm an anomaly.

01:15:56.000 Like, I understand I'm not part of the statistic, and I completely get it.

01:16:00.000 But if you're in a situation where you have a trade skill, go from learning how to just doing the trade to becoming a business owner and managing people, and that's how you begin to multiply your money by utilizing other people's time and energy and giving them opportunity and taking a piece of it.

01:16:14.000 Bam.

01:16:15.000 All right.

01:16:16.000 And then for the guy that said they wanted to move to Miami, bro, if you want to move to Miami, Miami's cool, but I'm not going to lie to you, it's way more expensive than it used to be.

01:16:23.000 So I would look at other places, maybe, you know, Fort Lauderdale, maybe somewhere in Broward County, et cetera, if you don't have that much capital because Miami's very expensive now.

01:16:32.000 You go to Miramar.

01:16:33.000 You can thank the New Yorkers and the Californians for that one.

01:16:35.000 Hollywood, Hallandale.

01:16:36.000 I would say as well with Miami, there's many distractions.

01:16:39.000 That too.

01:16:40.000 Keep in mind if you're young. 1.00

01:16:40.000 A lot of you guys come here and you don't work and you act like idiots and you lose all your money. 1.00

01:16:43.000 I've met so many entrepreneurs that come to Miami and they get into lifestyle, lose their business, lose their clients. 1.00

01:16:49.000 Start partying too much, start doing drugs. 0.99

01:16:52.000 You got to be extra focused here because there's going to be fucking chicks all over the place. 1.00

01:16:56.000 Like, yeah, man, you got to be extra focused here. 0.99

01:16:57.000 It's super interesting, especially during the bull runs, you're in situations where...

01:17:02.000 We're good to go.

01:17:17.000 Then in the future, that'll manifest in your income.

01:17:19.000 People are like, oh, I lost my money.

01:17:21.000 Yeah, because you lost the habits that made you the money in the first place.

01:17:24.000 So money is a lagging indicator.

01:17:26.000 Fantastic point.

01:17:26.000 Success is a lagging indicator.

01:17:27.000 So if you don't see success right now, but you're putting the action, just understand that it will catch up.

01:17:31.000 The moment you stop doing the things that made you rich, you eventually lose it.

01:17:34.000 Absolutely.

01:17:35.000 That's a good point, man.

01:17:35.000 That's a very good point.

01:17:37.000 Shout out to Lax and Luke for repping DeFi D-Gents.

01:17:40.000 Cool.

01:17:40.000 DeFi D-Gents to the moon.

01:17:42.000 Shout out Lax-A-Gene.

01:17:44.000 Brokey's in the chat.

01:17:46.000 Stay mad.

01:17:47.000 Stay mad.

01:17:48.000 Rare Paro.

01:17:48.000 Okay.

01:17:49.000 Bike life. 1.00

01:17:50.000 Ismir Mustafa goes, Bitcoin will always be a store of value.

01:17:53.000 It will never be used as a bridge currency.

01:17:55.000 The transaction time is too long and the fees are high.

01:17:57.000 XRP will move the world's money around Bitcoin.

01:18:00.000 It will be a store of value.

01:18:03.000 Any comment on that, Luke?

01:18:04.000 No comment.

01:18:33.000 After 1913, after the Federal Reserve Act was introduced, after we took the dollar off of the gold standard, things changed.

01:18:41.000 Things changed.

01:18:42.000 And once you guys begin to become financially literate and understanding how the world works, you begin to wake up at the fact that the government, institutions, banks are here to take your money.

01:18:51.000 They're here to keep you broke.

01:18:52.000 They're here to keep you upset.

01:18:54.000 They're here to keep you weak.

01:18:55.000 And they're here to keep you poor and under control.

01:18:57.000 So what you need to do is take money and understand it.

01:19:01.000 Take money.

01:19:04.000 Financial literacy. 0.99

01:19:05.000 Dude, just pick up a fucking anything. 0.99

01:19:06.000 Just go right now on the internet and look up the history of the Federal Reserve. 0.99

01:19:11.000 Go pick up a book called...

01:19:12.000 It's not even a government institution.

01:19:14.000 It's a private institution that's owned by banks.

01:19:17.000 Go read the book.

01:19:18.000 I think it's called...

01:19:20.000 There's two really good books.

01:19:22.000 One is...

01:19:23.000 Let me find them.

01:19:24.000 I'm going to recommend a couple books to people on here.

01:19:26.000 The first one is Lords of Easy Money.

01:19:30.000 That's a really good book that teaches people how the printing scam takes place, how they're printing money out of thin air.

01:19:36.000 And then I think the second one is The Creature of Jekyll Island, which is the history of the central bank formation and how they finessed the U.S. government into approving the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which we all live under nowadays.

01:19:50.000 I think what's scary is that it sounds very simple to do, but most people don't do it.

01:19:55.000 And they want to know why they don't understand money, how to save money, how to invest money.

01:19:58.000 And it's like, hold on, I wasn't taught this in school.

01:20:00.000 But yeah, you have to do it yourself.

01:20:02.000 Because public school is another institution that's run by the government.

01:20:06.000 So what you're going to be taught is how to be an employee, how to be a slave, and how to be compliant.

01:20:10.000 Do you think rich, successful families are sending their kids to public school?

01:20:13.000 Hell no.

01:20:14.000 It's homeschool at best.

01:20:16.000 Homeschool, private institutions, border schools.

01:20:18.000 Why?

01:20:19.000 Because the real people that run the world, they have different education systems than you do.

01:20:23.000 They're taught logic.

01:20:24.000 They're taught different languages.

01:20:26.000 They're taught financial literacy.

01:20:27.000 All the things that you're not taught, you're taught geology, right?

01:20:30.000 About the tectonic plates of the earth.

01:20:32.000 Astrology! 1.00

01:20:33.000 Bunch of bullshit. 1.00

01:20:34.000 And they're teaching you, for example, history, but they only teach you American history. 1.00

01:20:38.000 They're not teaching you world history, and they're only teaching you a certain version of history that benefits them.

01:20:44.000 So you need to take your life into your own control.

01:20:47.000 That's what this entire purpose of building a business is about.

01:20:51.000 It's not about making a ton of money.

01:20:52.000 It's about you being in control of your finances, you being in control of your future.

01:20:56.000 You don't want to be dependent on another man for a check.

01:20:59.000 You don't want to be dependent on the government to tell you how much taxes you own.

01:21:03.000 You want to be in a situation where you control every aspect of your life, your health, your relationships, your finances.

01:21:09.000 You need to be responsible.

01:21:11.000 And if you're not responsible, that's totally fine.

01:21:13.000 Understand that it's totally fine. 0.98

01:21:14.000 You can do whatever the fuck you want with your life. 0.99

01:21:16.000 Continue watching Netflix. 1.00

01:21:17.000 Continue jerking off. 1.00

01:21:18.000 Continue doing your bullshit. 1.00

01:21:19.000 Continue writing comments. 1.00

01:21:21.000 Continue doing your thing.

01:21:22.000 It's totally fine.

01:21:23.000 But just understand that your life will be a culmination of your actions and your decisions.

01:21:28.000 And if you want a better life, you have to make better decisions.

01:21:30.000 That's it.

01:21:31.000 Man, we got 15k watching, man.

01:21:32.000 I like the video for the Jens, bro.

01:21:33.000 Yeah, I like the video, man.

01:21:35.000 Jens is the goat.

01:21:35.000 I love this guy.

01:21:36.000 Show Jens, he is the crypto goat.

01:21:38.000 He is in the background.

01:21:39.000 Show the Jens, man.

01:21:40.000 Yeah, he's in the back.

01:21:41.000 He's there right there, man.

01:21:43.000 We got here, Luke, which exact reverse osmosis or water filtration system do you use?

01:21:48.000 I don't have a specific one.

01:21:49.000 You guys can just do your research online, but make sure that you utilize it.

01:21:52.000 It's a couple hundred dollars.

01:21:53.000 It's worth the investment.

01:21:55.000 Just plug it into your faucet and it should be good to go.

01:21:59.000 Investment advice.

01:22:00.000 Mo, invest in the food industry.

01:22:01.000 You know what they like.

01:22:03.000 You'll make a killing.

01:22:04.000 Myron, good job with the hair transplant.

01:22:05.000 Now invest in a nose transplant.

01:22:07.000 Fresh skin bleaching. 0.94

01:22:08.000 Chris, you need money to invest, bro.

01:22:09.000 Okay.

01:22:10.000 Thanks, Marco.

01:22:11.000 Bro, it's crazy that people send money just to send these comments.

01:22:14.000 I gotta start doing this, bro. 1.00

01:22:16.000 Talk shit to me all you want. 1.00

01:22:17.000 Just fill up the bank account, boys. 1.00

01:22:19.000 Yo, Myron, when will you start an FNF community on Facebook?

01:22:23.000 There's a lot of big accounts supporting FNF and Luke.

01:22:26.000 You bear scared of tap water, but you got tattoos and fake teeth.

01:22:30.000 Make it make sense.

01:22:31.000 Facebook will ban Myron.

01:22:32.000 They will ban me.

01:22:34.000 We do have a Facebook group, bro.

01:22:36.000 We have a Facebook page.

01:22:37.000 We're live on Facebook right now.

01:22:39.000 Bro, we already got one.

01:22:42.000 Seth goes, it was great to see you in SG. Luke, Myron, and Fresh.

01:22:45.000 You guys should check out some of the CC events in CC24. Keep up the great work, brothers.

01:22:49.000 Appreciate that.

01:22:50.000 Hold on one second.

01:22:51.000 20 and up.

01:22:52.000 Yeah, we're going 20 and up.

01:22:53.000 Okay.

01:22:54.000 369 goes, if I have no Bitcoin currently, would you recommend waiting until the halving in April before buying in, or should I look at other coins until then?

01:23:01.000 Shout out to you.

01:23:01.000 Luke was with you in Singapore.

01:23:04.000 Great show, FNF. Yeah, once again, it's all about financial literacy.

01:23:08.000 If you're going to get in the markets, you can't depend on another person to give you advice on the markets.

01:23:12.000 You need to get involved, understand the trends, the narratives, and realize that at the end of the day, you're responsible for the money that you invest.

01:23:20.000 There was an opportunity last year for people to buy MetaStock, Shopify stock, all these stocks at undervalued prices, but they didn't take advantage of it.

01:23:29.000 Don't be the last person holding the bag.

01:23:31.000 You know, it's usually the brokies and the uneducated people buying the top. 0.97

01:23:34.000 So Bitcoin's about the top.

01:23:36.000 A lot of people are going crazy with it.

01:23:38.000 So just look at undervalued opportunities where people aren't necessarily looking and you can take advantage of it.

01:23:45.000 SwayCode goes, Luke Belmar is an absolute legend.

01:23:47.000 I'm in his group Capital Club.

01:23:49.000 I've been watching Luke since his Instagram lives.

01:23:52.000 SwayCode from Capital Club Discord.

01:23:54.000 Cool.

01:23:54.000 Shout out SwayCode.

01:23:56.000 Cam2Times, question, there are a lot of distractions and different types of distractions for different people, but what do y'all think is the biggest distraction that's keeping people from being successful?

01:24:04.000 Females, bro. 1.00

01:24:05.000 Females a lot of the times. 1.00

01:24:06.000 Yeah, dude.

01:24:06.000 Women.

01:24:07.000 Yeah.

01:24:07.000 Absolutely.

01:24:08.000 That's a big, big one, man.

01:24:10.000 A lot of you guys will be chasing girls. 1.00

01:24:11.000 Yeah, you got to learn how to keep your dick in your pants, dude. 1.00

01:24:13.000 You got to learn how to keep your dick in your pants so you have your money, your finances, and your health under control. 1.00

01:24:18.000 Until you have those things under control, you can't be worrying about this shit, dude. 1.00

01:24:22.000 Yeah, it's a big waste of time that guys spend, man. 0.99

01:24:25.000 Luke, what are your thoughts on BTC ATH this run and does the hat stay on with you?

01:24:30.000 I don't know what that means.

01:24:31.000 Does the hat stay on with you?

01:24:34.000 I don't know.

01:24:34.000 I don't know either.

01:24:36.000 Do you even wear hats?

01:24:38.000 Not anymore.

01:24:39.000 Not a whole lot.

01:24:39.000 Maybe that's an analogy for something.

01:24:41.000 What do you think about kids joining the U.S. military today?

01:24:45.000 Should I do it?

01:24:45.000 That's from Cameron White.

01:24:46.000 What do you think?

01:24:47.000 I'm curious about your thought nowadays.

01:24:50.000 My thing is, if you don't have any skills and you don't know what to do, you're 18 years old, fresh out of...

01:24:55.000 Well, we're about to be on World War III. So I don't know if I can tell you guys to join right now.

01:25:00.000 It used to be a fantastic way to get your masculinity up, get in shape, understand chain of command, understand how the world works, get free schooling.

01:25:08.000 You get a bunch of skill sets for free and come out with some cash in your pocket.

01:25:12.000 But nowadays...

01:25:13.000 Now they might toss you in Ukraine. 0.99

01:25:14.000 Yeah.

01:25:15.000 Right now, I don't know if I'd advise guys to join the military because the reality of combat is extremely high.

01:25:21.000 We're in two very volatile wars right now with Israel and with the situation going on in Ukraine. 0.99

01:25:28.000 You guys might go ahead and end up fighting on foreign soil for a foreign land and die for a foreign fucking nation, bro. 1.00

01:25:34.000 I can't stand behind that. 1.00

01:25:35.000 It's one thing to defend the United States, but you're going ahead and dying for a foreign country. 0.99

01:25:40.000 That's crazy to me as an American soldier.

01:25:44.000 It's kind of crazy to think about, dude.

01:25:47.000 That's where we are now.

01:25:47.000 Isn't that wild?

01:25:48.000 Vietnam 2024.

01:25:50.000 What if there's another draft?

01:25:52.000 What would you do?

01:25:54.000 Like me?

01:25:55.000 Yeah.

01:25:55.000 If they drafted me?

01:25:56.000 Yeah.

01:25:57.000 I'd go, bro.

01:25:57.000 It is what it is.

01:25:58.000 They drafted me.

01:25:59.000 But I don't know.

01:26:00.000 I'm old now.

01:26:01.000 I'm 34.

01:26:01.000 Hey man, I'm an immigrant.

01:26:03.000 No, you're an American citizen.

01:26:04.000 I'm a runaway.

01:26:05.000 I'm a runaway, bro!

01:26:06.000 Where's the boats?

01:26:07.000 I mean, I ain't gonna dodge a draft, but yeah.

01:26:10.000 I mean, it is what it is.

01:26:11.000 But right now, I don't know if I could advise young guys to join the military now with what's going on in recent events.

01:26:17.000 It's a very strong reality that we're literally on the brinks of World War III right now.

01:26:22.000 Has the military gone woke?

01:26:24.000 It's gone woke too.

01:26:25.000 It has.

01:26:26.000 It's gone super woke now.

01:26:28.000 A bunch of guys that I know...

01:26:29.000 Yeah.

01:26:43.000 Yeah.

01:26:44.000 I mean, there's a bunch of military guys here that could probably comment on that, you know, that have talked about it, like how the Marines have changed, the Army have changed, super all-inclusive now, which I think is one of the worst things you could do when you have a military.

01:26:55.000 The last thing you want to be is all-inclusive because when you're going to go in a fight to war, you want the fittest and the best with you.

01:27:00.000 I think it's crazy that we even allow women in the military in combat positions. 1.00

01:27:05.000 I don't know if...

01:27:05.000 I think women can even join infantry now.

01:27:07.000 For decades, they weren't able to join infantry for good reason, but now they can join infantry, and I don't agree with that.

01:27:13.000 I think that it should be One military standard I think should be, if you can make it, you can make it, but if you can't, you can't.

01:27:19.000 Why worsen the strength of the military for equality and feelings?

01:27:24.000 I think that's crazy, but it is what it is, man.

01:27:27.000 What are your thoughts, Luke?

01:27:29.000 I mean, I don't really have thoughts.

01:27:30.000 If you're going to have a society, you might as well have the strongest, most developed individuals protecting you.

01:27:37.000 And if that's not the people that are protecting you, then it might not be a good situation.

01:27:42.000 Might not be.

01:27:42.000 I mean, just look at the Russians, bro.

01:27:44.000 These guys are on fucking peptides. 1.00

01:27:45.000 These guys are training in the snow in Siberia. 1.00

01:27:48.000 They're bad motherfuckers, bro. 1.00

01:27:50.000 Yeah, and that's why they're... 1.00

01:27:51.000 I mean, it's not even controversial to say it.

01:27:53.000 They pretty much won the conflict, bro.

01:27:56.000 They pretty much want it.

01:27:58.000 So, it is what it is.

01:28:00.000 God bless y'all, geez.

01:28:01.000 I mean, even I think CNN even reported it.

01:28:03.000 So, that's not controversial anymore.

01:28:04.000 God bless y'all, geez.

01:28:05.000 Luke and FNF as a labeled Christian.

01:28:08.000 How would you guys go about marriage without the government and y'all's opinion on marriage in your 20s with a girl that has morals?

01:28:16.000 I mean, basically, are you married under God or are you married under the government?

01:28:20.000 You know, do you want a third person in your relationship?

01:28:23.000 And do you want them to tell you how to split your money if you end up splitting in the relationship?

01:28:27.000 Or do you want to make that decision on your own?

01:28:29.000 So is the contract between you or is the contract between you and the government?

01:28:33.000 The government wants to get involved in every part of your life.

01:28:36.000 So the more you can keep them out of your life, the better.

01:28:38.000 You don't need a government contract in order to stay loyal to somebody.

01:28:41.000 So take that into consideration.

01:28:43.000 Yeah.

01:28:44.000 Try to do it without the state involved.

01:28:45.000 They're really going to do it.

01:28:46.000 I'm not a fan of getting married in your 20s, but it is what it is.

01:28:49.000 Some of you guys are religious and I get it.

01:28:51.000 Hey Luke, thanks for changing my mind.

01:28:53.000 But find me somewhere in the Bible or in these spiritual scriptures where it says that the government needs to sign off on you getting married.

01:29:01.000 Exactly.

01:29:01.000 Find that for me and then I'll comply.

01:29:03.000 Yeah.

01:29:04.000 And you won't.

01:29:05.000 So you don't need to evolve the state, guys.

01:29:07.000 Hey, Luke, thanks for changing my life.

01:29:08.000 You're an inspiration and mentor.

01:29:09.000 I'm 20 years old.

01:29:10.000 I just moved out to Bali a week ago with my fellow Glitch. 1.00

01:29:13.000 Can't wait for Capital Club 2.

01:29:14.000 Zero data sets.

01:29:15.000 F the haters.

01:29:16.000 All right.

01:29:17.000 And then Ethan Chen goes, Luke, when selling products online, what are some of the ways to increase your product market fit before launching your store?

01:29:25.000 What are some questions you would ask yourself when find product market fit?

01:29:29.000 Yeah, so you need to understand the audience that you want to sell to before you sell a product, right?

01:29:35.000 So you need to do some market research.

01:29:37.000 If you're going to sell fitness products, you need to understand what caters to a fitness individual.

01:29:41.000 You need to understand what are the triggers that make people buy.

01:29:44.000 You need to understand...

01:29:46.000 I think?

01:30:06.000 The avatar, this individual character, right?

01:30:08.000 That you're selling to.

01:30:09.000 What do they want?

01:30:10.000 What do they desire?

01:30:11.000 And then you have to appeal to that thing.

01:30:12.000 So appeal to what they're trying to accomplish because it's an exchange of value, right?

01:30:16.000 They're giving you money in exchange for you providing a good or a service.

01:30:20.000 So what you need to do is be able to identify the individual, what is it that they want exactly, and be able to provide that value directly.

01:30:26.000 Alright, well said.

01:30:28.000 We have here as well, Angelo says, Hey Myron, we met at Lyft Miami with my brother.

01:30:33.000 I asked you about Luke.

01:30:35.000 What are the odds you guys do a pod together two days later?

01:30:37.000 I'm part of Capital Club.

01:30:39.000 Would love to take you guys out and meet up in Miami for two to three days.

01:30:42.000 My bro DM'd you on Instagram.

01:30:44.000 We don't do meetups like that.

01:30:46.000 Dave Cook says, Luke, I'm 33 years old with 90k in savings.

01:30:50.000 I've invested 1,500 bucks into BTC so far.

01:30:53.000 However, I'm eager to invest more into BTC, catapulting to 60k.

01:30:57.000 How much would you reinvest in BTC in proportion to my savings?

01:31:01.000 So $1,500 BTC so far.

01:31:03.000 I mean, yeah, you have like 3% invested or 2% invested.

01:31:08.000 Risk-reward ratio, bro.

01:31:10.000 Whatever money you're willing to put into the markets, understand that that money can be lost.

01:31:14.000 So be in a situation where you're okay losing the money that you're putting in.

01:31:19.000 The bull market is just getting started, but if you want high risk and high reward, you're going to have to find some other tokens that aren't Bitcoin.

01:31:28.000 So maybe Ethereum, you have 90k saved.

01:31:32.000 Yeah, maybe you can buy some ETH. You can buy two, three ETHs, sit on those for a couple years, and I think you'll be fine.

01:31:38.000 But yeah, get your savings up as well. 0.98

01:31:40.000 At the end of the day, you don't want to be investing in your life savings, and if you lose that money, you end up being fucked.

01:31:46.000 So get your money up, get your savings up, and then start playing around with some of these alternative tokens in the market. 0.70

01:31:52.000 You know what I see as a trend here?

01:31:56.000 People are talking a lot about investing and wanting to get in the markets and wanting to get rich quick, and that's just simply not how it works.

01:32:02.000 That's just not how it works.

01:32:04.000 The number one investment you can make is in yourself.

01:32:07.000 That you need to be able to learn how to have money-making skills.

01:32:12.000 That's the biggest thing here. 0.65

01:32:15.000 We're sitting here at the table and we can talk about fucking slinging hundreds of thousands of dollars into the markets and stuff like that because we're not worried about whether that money is going to get lost or not because we can still make more money. 0.91

01:32:25.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.97

01:32:25.000 So you need to learn how to make more money. 0.97

01:32:27.000 There's a money-making problem, and making money is simply a skill.

01:32:31.000 Just like saving money is a skill.

01:32:33.000 Just like investing money is a skill.

01:32:34.000 Just like multiplying money is a skill.

01:32:35.000 Making that money is a skill.

01:32:37.000 Learn how to make more money.

01:32:38.000 Become more valuable.

01:32:39.000 Solve real problems, and then you won't have to be worrying about whether you have a couple thousand dollars or not to invest.

01:32:44.000 And these people that make a bunch of money on scratch tickets and the lotto and everything else like that, they'll make a couple million?

01:32:49.000 They lose it, dude.

01:32:50.000 Why?

01:32:50.000 Because they don't have the skill set to make money long term or to hold it, right?

01:32:54.000 Yeah.

01:32:54.000 So, guys, I mean, look, let's say you get lucky.

01:32:57.000 You win the fucking lotto and you make a million dollars. 0.99

01:32:59.000 You're probably going to lose it within a few years if you don't know what you're doing. 1.00

01:33:02.000 You need to learn the skill set.

01:33:03.000 So we've seen guys come and go in crypto.

01:33:05.000 They'll get a lucky break, make a bunch of money, go party in the clubs, waste money on girls, get some yachts, and then they go broke.

01:33:13.000 So if you're not really good with money, like Luke is saying here, you need to do the research, you need to do the actual study of money, you're going to lose it.

01:33:19.000 So the big bang effect of winning money right now from crypto is not in your best interest unless you're well-versed in crypto itself.

01:33:27.000 I mean, it's simple, dude.

01:33:28.000 Easy come, easy go.

01:33:30.000 The principle's there and the saying is there for a reason.

01:33:33.000 The reason you see billionaires with white hair is because it takes a lifetime to get rich.

01:33:37.000 It takes a lifetime to get wealthy.

01:33:38.000 I don't like promoting this idea of everybody's going to make money in crypto.

01:33:41.000 Everybody's going to make money in the markets.

01:33:42.000 It's just simply not the reality.

01:33:43.000 It's not the case.

01:33:44.000 But you can make more money.

01:33:45.000 You can make an extra couple thousand dollars.

01:33:47.000 You can find a side gig that can allow you to live a better lifestyle.

01:33:52.000 You can learn sales.

01:33:53.000 You can learn how to invest into the stock market.

01:33:57.000 You can learn real estate.

01:33:58.000 These things are readily available in the greatest land that has ever existed in the land of opportunity.

01:34:03.000 Whether you capitalize it or not, it really depends on whether you're lazy or not to get educated.

01:34:08.000 But you can't be out here slinging a couple thousand dollars and assuming that you're going to get rich.

01:34:12.000 Getting rich isn't a gamble.

01:34:13.000 It needs to be a plan, and you need to plan to get rich, and it takes time.

01:34:17.000 And if you get rich on accident, I promise you, you'll probably lose that money quickly anyway.

01:34:20.000 I agree.

01:34:21.000 Shout out to the Crypto Mindset Corp, Charlie and Miguel.

01:34:23.000 Don't you know?

01:34:24.000 Pump it.

01:34:25.000 You got to pump it up, okay?

01:34:26.000 What else we got here?

01:34:30.000 Okay, Captain Bamalan goes, hey, what book do each of you recommend that teaches financial literacy?

01:34:35.000 I have Set for Life already, a fresh, great book.

01:34:39.000 I'm looking for more knowledge.

01:34:40.000 Luke dropped a few earlier.

01:34:41.000 There's a good one as well, because I know a lot of people are interested in the stock market, but there's this book on the psychology of the traders called Reminiscence of a Stock Operator.

01:34:50.000 It's a very old book, but it teaches you just the psychology of how to invest, and it's really good.

01:34:57.000 So that was a hundred bucks, Don DeMarco.

01:35:00.000 Another book is as good as Richest Man in Babylon.

01:35:04.000 Yeah.

01:35:05.000 That's a good one too.

01:35:06.000 Unscripted too by DeMarco.

01:35:08.000 MJ DeMarco.

01:35:09.000 Shout out to John for Monolive Dating.

01:35:10.000 He actually suggested that book to me and I think it's a very good book.

01:35:13.000 Helps you kind of look at things from another perspective.

01:35:16.000 All roads lead to Rome.

01:35:17.000 Only less than 10% of U.S. residents, including citizens, need to pay federal income tax.

01:35:22.000 Federal workers need to pay federal income tax.

01:35:24.000 If you do not live in the federal district of Washington, D.C., then do not volunteer to pay federal income tax.

01:35:32.000 Okay.

01:35:33.000 This good dude is really anti-tax.

01:35:35.000 I'll let the IRS don't come after you.

01:35:37.000 Lawrence goes, Luke, what do you think about BaseChain and are you getting exposure to Base also in CC? Love you, bro.

01:35:43.000 I don't have any exposure to base, but all these layer 1s or layer 2s, you need to examine them.

01:35:49.000 A lot of them are going to end up being scams.

01:35:51.000 So just understand the intention behind the founders.

01:35:55.000 Understand whether it's a long-term narrative, short-term narrative.

01:35:58.000 And don't be buying a lot of these multi-billion dollar market caps that are already out there.

01:36:03.000 We're not early in the cycle.

01:36:05.000 I know people are saying we're early into the cycle.

01:36:07.000 Just be careful with your money.

01:36:08.000 Don't just jump into anything because you see it on Twitter.

01:36:11.000 Not a good idea.

01:36:14.000 So, NFTs as a technology are dope.

01:36:17.000 So, you know, for example...

01:36:19.000 That was a wave in like 2020.

01:36:20.000 Yeah, but NFTs as a technology are fire. 0.88

01:36:23.000 They operate as access.

01:36:25.000 They operate as your ability to, on-chain, be able to manage and observe a community or be able to transact quickly.

01:36:37.000 As a technology, they're dope, but like everything new in crypto, the first wave tends to be scammy.

01:36:42.000 But we see a lot of projects that are surfacing that are using the technology itself to do dope stuff.

01:36:48.000 So do you think people should get into it now?

01:36:52.000 I know that the NFT market went down something like 90% or something like that.

01:36:55.000 Yeah.

01:36:56.000 I mean, dude, it's just risky, dude.

01:36:59.000 It's risky.

01:37:00.000 It's risky.

01:37:01.000 Out of the thousand projects, there's three that survive.

01:37:04.000 It's just the risk-reward ratio isn't really there.

01:37:06.000 Yeah.

01:37:06.000 Okay.

01:37:08.000 Let's see here.

01:37:09.000 Will this Friday's show be another call-in show?

01:37:11.000 I really need some advice about a big financial move about making crypto.

01:37:14.000 It will not be.

01:37:15.000 It will not be.

01:37:16.000 We have Rampage in the house, man.

01:37:18.000 Yes.

01:37:18.000 Rampage Jackson.

01:37:19.000 So we're going to have special guests.

01:37:20.000 Been waiting for this collab for a minute.

01:37:22.000 Got you at showtime.

01:37:23.000 I know y'all been asking for it.

01:37:24.000 Aurelian goes, Luke, it's great to see you come on here.

01:37:26.000 It's going to be a high-IQ conversation and ready to see different perspectives.

01:37:29.000 Glitch 18648 here.

01:37:31.000 And I just want to say that I've learned a lot from you, Myron Fresh, and a lot of the individuals within this arena of guests.

01:37:36.000 Can you reiterate the concept of why being broke is the condition of the mind, not the pocket?

01:37:42.000 WFNFWLukeWMrBelmer.

01:37:42.000 I'll let Luke take it from there if you want to talk about the condition of being broke from a mindset perspective.

01:37:47.000 Yeah, I mean, it all starts in the mind, you know?

01:37:49.000 If you think that the gym's not important, you're not going to go train.

01:37:54.000 And if you think that you're the victim, well, that's how you're going to see reality.

01:37:58.000 If you think that money's not important, you're not going to get any of it.

01:38:02.000 So everything starts in the mind.

01:38:04.000 A lot of people that I see that tend to be negative or tend to be the haters, they have a broken mindset.

01:38:09.000 Yeah.

01:38:09.000 I remember I was at Tate's house and I was talking with Tristan because they use the word brokey a lot.

01:38:16.000 They kind of coined that term.

01:38:18.000 And I asked him, you know, is brokey a condition of the pocket or is it a condition of the mind?

01:38:24.000 And Tristan was like, brokey is a condition of the mind because you can have money, but you can still act like a poor person.

01:38:33.000 And you can still identify opportunity, but think that opportunity is not there.

01:38:37.000 And you won't capitalize on the opportunity.

01:38:39.000 So you need to become wealthy of the mind.

01:38:41.000 You need to be able to identify opportunities, see opportunities, see that there's potential, and then that will change your current reality.

01:38:47.000 If you can change your mind, you can change your fitness.

01:38:49.000 If you change your mind, you can change your bank account.

01:38:51.000 If you change your mind, you can change your relationships.

01:38:53.000 It all originates in the mind.

01:38:55.000 That's why I say thoughts lead to actions.

01:38:57.000 Actions lead to behaviors.

01:38:59.000 Behaviors lead to lifestyle, and lifestyle dictates who you are.

01:39:02.000 Yeah.

01:39:03.000 Which is why CEO control every opportunity.

01:39:07.000 Yeah.

01:39:08.000 All right.

01:39:09.000 Cool.

01:39:09.000 Next one.

01:39:09.000 Are any of you aware that the U.S. equity markets have adopted the idea of fractional reserve banking and you can give your take on a WFNF? Yeah, we talked about that earlier.

01:39:19.000 Luke, do you practice any martial arts discipline?

01:39:21.000 I know you practice flexibility every morning.

01:39:22.000 Been a fan for a while.

01:39:23.000 Much respect.

01:39:24.000 Yeah, calisthenics is probably the main training format that I use.

01:39:28.000 Do you guys remember a guy by the name of Mike Chang?

01:39:31.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:39:32.000 Six Pack Shortcuts.

01:39:33.000 So he's a legend.

01:39:34.000 I was just with him in Bali actually.

01:39:37.000 Is he still on YouTube?

01:39:39.000 No, he went incognito for six years and built this new training method called Flow 60, which is basically a new calisthenics body flow routine. 0.98

01:39:51.000 And I started fucking with that. 0.92

01:39:53.000 But yeah, Mike Chang. 0.99

01:39:54.000 Mike Chang is back on doing his grind. 0.98

01:39:56.000 I fucking love that guy. 0.98

01:39:57.000 He's a legend. 0.98

01:39:58.000 He's an OG, bro.

01:40:00.000 He's been around forever.

01:40:02.000 Luke, thoughts on Solana?

01:40:03.000 Keep buying?

01:40:04.000 Yeah, Solana is a competitor to Ethereum.

01:40:07.000 And you know the concept of gas fees, right?

01:40:12.000 So gas fees get super expensive in a bull run on Ethereum.

01:40:15.000 The transaction fees.

01:40:16.000 So people that like to trade chip coins or like to do high-frequency trading or trade a lot, They partake in Solana or in chains that have low transaction fees.

01:40:29.000 So Solana has a bright future because it stood the test of time with FTX and the whole FTX scam with Sandbank been freed.

01:40:37.000 They're continuing to build a ton...

01:40:42.000 I think?

01:41:02.000 Yeah.

01:41:03.000 Pay attention to it.

01:41:04.000 All right.

01:41:06.000 Jon Stewart ripped Tucker for the $100 grocery, stating the average Russian only makes around $200 a month, so the $100 is expensive.

01:41:11.000 Thoughts?

01:41:13.000 Tell the Russians to make more money. 0.97

01:41:16.000 What do you want me to tell you, bro?

01:41:17.000 It applies universally everywhere.

01:41:20.000 Hello, Glitch Master Sir Luke.

01:41:22.000 You have exposed the many lies in the world and educated me on a lot of things, so thank you.

01:41:25.000 Remember, my name is McKay.

01:41:26.000 We will do business together in the future.

01:41:28.000 Much appreciation from Denmark.

01:41:29.000 Okay.

01:41:31.000 Ayo goes, you guys are doing the Lord's work.

01:41:33.000 Are the crypto classes still available?

01:41:35.000 How can I sign up to get resources?

01:41:37.000 With our guys, no, bro.

01:41:39.000 It's close.

01:41:40.000 You snooze, you lose, my friend.

01:41:42.000 You snooze, you lose, my friend.

01:41:42.000 Yeah, I don't teach crypto, so...

01:41:45.000 WFNF for bringing in Charlie Miguel.

01:41:47.000 $1,000 well spent, worth every penny.

01:41:48.000 Shout out to you, bro.

01:41:49.000 Shout out to all the haters that call it a scam.

01:41:53.000 I mean, here's the thing, bro.

01:41:55.000 People are going to say everything's a scam. 0.99

01:41:57.000 Who gives a fuck, dude? 1.00

01:41:58.000 Who gives a fuck? 0.99

01:41:59.000 I've come to realize it doesn't really make a difference. 0.99

01:42:01.000 There's a lot of value to be provided online and people are willing to pay for it.

01:42:06.000 So if you have value to provide, the market will determine it by paying you for it.

01:42:09.000 You don't have to create some marketing gimmick.

01:42:11.000 A lot of people are interested in crypto and a lot of people are interested in building digital businesses.

01:42:15.000 A lot of people are interested in doing so many things.

01:42:18.000 And if you can find somebody that can teach you how to shortcut your path to success, I mean, why not try it?

01:42:22.000 I mean, at the end of the day, a lot of these things have refund policies.

01:42:26.000 So, yeah, take advantage of the opportunity from learning from people that are ahead of you.

01:42:31.000 Yep.

01:42:32.000 Self-made crypto millionaire here.

01:42:50.000 PS Thoughts on Solano.

01:42:51.000 I don't have any course on crypto or anything with regards to that.

01:42:56.000 What I would say is just start reading the Bitcoin white paper.

01:42:59.000 Just that's the 101.

01:43:00.000 See what Satoshi Nakamoto wrote regarding why he created crypto and just get involved.

01:43:06.000 Join some Discord groups.

01:43:07.000 Join some free stuff online.

01:43:08.000 Go watch some YouTube videos.

01:43:12.000 Understand the technology and realize that you're not going to get rich overnight and just work to get more educated. 0.95

01:43:18.000 But no courses or shit like that for me. 0.97

01:43:20.000 There you go, man. 0.98

01:43:48.000 Hey, thank you for this.

01:43:49.000 I have a suggestion for your advertising game.

01:43:51.000 Please get banners so there's no confusion about the name of what you are advertising.

01:43:57.000 Bro, their mindset's already decided,

01:44:13.000 bro.

01:44:14.000 You're not gonna change your mind now.

01:44:15.000 Yeah, man.

01:44:16.000 Let's move on.

01:44:16.000 Oh, you were talking about Teej.

01:44:18.000 Yeah, guys, shout out to Teej Hanley, man. 1.00

01:44:19.000 Go ahead and link is below, guys, if you guys want to go ahead and take care of your skincare and not be an ugly fuck. 0.99

01:44:24.000 Support us, support them as well. 0.99

01:44:25.000 Yeah, take care of your teeth and skin, man. 0.97

01:44:26.000 Guys, me personally, just to let y'all know, I get my teeth cleaned every three months.

01:44:29.000 I just came from the dentist earlier to get my teeth cleaned.

01:44:31.000 And we've seen girls on the show, they say all the time, the biggest problem with men is their hygiene. 1.00

01:44:35.000 Yeah, bro. 0.99

01:44:37.000 Guys, stop being ugly, man. 0.72

01:44:39.000 You could really help yourself just by literally taking care of your skin. 0.99

01:44:42.000 Being ugly is a benefit.

01:44:44.000 Yeah. 0.74

01:44:44.000 Well, look at Fresh. 0.74

01:44:45.000 He made it work.

01:44:46.000 Hey, man.

01:44:46.000 I love it, bro.

01:44:48.000 I've successfully been self-employed for a year in construction.

01:44:50.000 I want to start a digital business.

01:44:51.000 What is the best digital business to learn that will not die out with the changing world?

01:44:55.000 I mean, he talked about e-commerce earlier.

01:44:56.000 So, you know, that's something interesting.

01:44:58.000 I was listening to an interview by Jeff Bezos.

01:45:02.000 I think it's quite old, but he said, most people are focused on building businesses based off of what will change instead of focusing on what will never change.

01:45:11.000 Human nature won't change.

01:45:12.000 There's certain things that will never go out of style or out of business.

01:45:16.000 If you want to build something long-term, you can build in that arena.

01:45:19.000 When I started Capital Club, which is kind of my entrepreneurial ecosystem, it was based off of talking with one of the founders of OpenAI.

01:45:26.000 And I was like, hey, should I do something in AI? He's like, no, no, too complicated.

01:45:29.000 Build an AI-proof business.

01:45:31.000 Which is what?

01:45:32.000 Community.

01:45:32.000 AI will never be able to replace human interaction.

01:45:34.000 True.

01:45:35.000 So I was like, okay, well that makes complete sense.

01:45:36.000 So you can build long term off of finding what is something that human nature will never change.

01:45:42.000 And that's the way you can make money.

01:45:44.000 If anything, AI will increase the need for human interaction.

01:45:46.000 Exactly.

01:45:46.000 If anything.

01:45:46.000 I agree.

01:45:47.000 So that's AI proof to the highest level.

01:45:49.000 Yep.

01:45:49.000 Having a community of like human beings.

01:45:51.000 What else we got here?

01:45:52.000 Hey Luke, which reverse osmosis system would you recommend?

01:45:55.000 More like which brand?

01:45:56.000 He told you guys he doesn't have a suggestion.

01:45:58.000 He donated twice.

01:46:00.000 Certain brand, but I guess anyone will work, right?

01:46:02.000 But you said the good ones are a couple hundred bucks?

01:46:05.000 Yeah, you can get 300, 400 bucks.

01:46:07.000 It's worth it.

01:46:08.000 What's a bottle of water that's really good you recommend?

01:46:12.000 You can do Mountain Valley Spring Water.

01:46:14.000 You can do Avian.

01:46:15.000 I love Avian.

01:46:16.000 Yeah, those are good ones.

01:46:18.000 Fiji?

01:46:19.000 No.

01:46:20.000 It's okay.

01:46:21.000 Nope.

01:46:22.000 Okay.

01:46:23.000 I'm currently working on my e-com DS. I only have a few grand to play with.

01:46:26.000 Is it worth investing in crypto or should I invest in myself and business for Luke and the crew?

01:46:30.000 You only have a couple grand.

01:46:31.000 You know, you can't be invested.

01:46:33.000 You understand that the money that you have, you worked extremely hard for.

01:46:37.000 You can't just toss it in the market and assume that, you know, you're just going to get rich overnight.

01:46:42.000 It's going to make you emotional too.

01:46:43.000 Yeah, dude.

01:46:44.000 You can't be investing out of a place of greed or need.

01:46:46.000 You need to be investing out of a place of abundance.

01:46:48.000 You invest the money that you have left over.

01:46:50.000 You're not investing the money that you need to use to pay for rent.

01:46:54.000 So get your business right.

01:46:55.000 Get your money right.

01:46:56.000 And then you're going to be in a situation where you can actually take advantage of the opportunities in the future.

01:47:00.000 If you miss this boat, this train, don't worry.

01:47:02.000 There's always going to be another opportunity.

01:47:03.000 There's always going to be another bus ride.

01:47:06.000 But you need to level up your game, got to level up your skill set, and don't utilize the little bit of money that you have right now thinking that you're going to get rich overnight.

01:47:13.000 I think it's a common trend. 0.99

01:47:14.000 I hope people are listening to this shit, dude, because fuck, so many people are going to get burned thinking that they're going to have the lucky ticket to the million dollars, and that's just simply not the case. 0.99

01:47:24.000 Protect the capital that you have, especially if that's the capital that you need to utilize to get yourself right. 1.00

01:47:32.000 Luke, do you have a call-in portion of your show where I can get some advice in the next few days?

01:47:37.000 This is not my show.

01:47:39.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:47:40.000 Well, we're going to have Luke on CEO Network coming up soon for a Zoom call.

01:47:44.000 So jump in there. 0.93

01:47:45.000 And then as well, Capital Club.

01:47:47.000 Capital Club is closed, though.

01:47:49.000 It's closed?

01:47:50.000 Oh, there you go.

01:47:51.000 Sorry, niggas. 1.00

01:47:51.000 It's loose and loose! 1.00

01:47:52.000 I don't know what to tell y'all, man.

01:47:54.000 Okay.

01:47:55.000 W. Luke Belmar, every time I hear this man talk, feels like I'm waking up to new information.

01:47:59.000 Thanks, Evan, for having him on.

01:48:00.000 Shout out to Mr. 1.00

01:48:01.000 Belmar and fuck seed oils. 1.00

01:48:02.000 Got you, man. 0.99

01:48:04.000 DDG, I'm new in the area, so I'm building my clientele and cook on the side.

01:48:07.000 Should I join the military and cut hair on the side and just use my VA loon to invest in real estate or invest in a mentor for my barber business now?

01:48:16.000 So you're not in the military yet.

01:48:19.000 I would say, bro, get a mentor and invest in your barber business now, man. 0.99

01:48:24.000 Try to leave the military for the last resort because I don't want to be sending y'all to war to fight for another country, man, and you guys fucking die. 0.95

01:48:31.000 And as far as barbering goes, a good mentor is Billionaire Barber on Instagram. 0.99

01:48:35.000 Okay.

01:48:35.000 And a really good friend of mine.

01:48:36.000 Okay.

01:48:37.000 We're caught up, right?

01:48:38.000 Yeah, we're caught up.

01:48:38.000 Alright, cool.

01:48:40.000 That was a lot of game.

01:48:41.000 So much sauce.

01:48:43.000 I mean, wisdom and wisdom time and time again, Luke.

01:48:46.000 And I like that you told the people that not everyone's going to be fortunate like you where, you know, you were able to make a play at a certain time, etc.

01:48:54.000 Not everyone's going to have those opportunities.

01:48:55.000 You're an anomaly in that situation.

01:48:57.000 And I think people need to kind of just stick to the roots of like, hey, Get a skill.

01:49:01.000 Make money.

01:49:02.000 Invest that money.

01:49:03.000 Can you get lucky?

01:49:04.000 Of course you can, but the tried and true methods are what's going to build wealth.

01:49:08.000 I tell people if you want to get rich, there's three ingredients.

01:49:12.000 One is you need to be the best at what you do. 0.98

01:49:14.000 If you're shitty, if you're not good, nobody's going to hire you. 0.95

01:49:18.000 Second, whatever you do needs to be in high demand. 0.99

01:49:21.000 You're not going to make money in a niche where there's no traffic.

01:49:24.000 Mm-hmm.

01:49:44.000 Build, figure out those things, and you can make some money, but getting rich overnight, getting rich quick is an illusion.

01:49:50.000 It's a big illusion, and the internet, I know, sells it a lot, but I don't agree with it.

01:49:55.000 Focus on building long-term skill sets, focus on building a network, focus on getting involved with high-level entrepreneurs, people that have done things prior, and I think you're one step closer to leveling up.

01:50:06.000 It's a day-by-day process, bro.

01:50:07.000 And it's interesting, too, because in your story, you had generated a couple million in revenue, but you only put $250K in.

01:50:14.000 And that $250K obviously paid huge dividends, and you were able to get out the e-commerce game.

01:50:23.000 But you took a calculator risk, and it wasn't everything you had.

01:50:26.000 And I think people really need to take that from your story, that you only put in a quarter million of what you had.

01:50:31.000 Yeah.

01:50:32.000 It wasn't my rent money.

01:50:33.000 There you go.

01:50:33.000 It was money that you could afford to lose.

01:50:36.000 Correct.

01:50:36.000 So you need to do the same.

01:50:38.000 Investing is a long-term play, but investing in yourself is the number one asset, the number one skill set, because you're always going to have yourself.

01:50:45.000 You go bust, but if you have assets of skill sets and networks and developed a mindset for making money, you can make that money once again.

01:50:53.000 Bam.

01:50:54.000 Alright.

01:50:55.000 Yo, I think that was a great interview, man.

01:50:56.000 Awesome stuff.

01:50:57.000 A lot of value given.

01:50:58.000 Last thing for you, Luke.

01:51:00.000 Mr.

01:51:00.000 Belmar and health real quick.

01:51:02.000 Your brother.

01:51:03.000 Oh yeah, Nate Belmar.

01:51:05.000 Yeah.

01:51:06.000 He's a biohacker, dude.

01:51:07.000 Get your gym right.

01:51:09.000 Get your mobility right.

01:51:11.000 Get your health and wellness right.

01:51:14.000 Stay away from seed oils.

01:51:15.000 Stay away from tap water.

01:51:17.000 And yeah, Nate Belmar is an absolute legend.

01:51:20.000 Shout out to him, man.

01:51:21.000 Real like that guy.

01:51:22.000 Alright, last thing, Mo.

01:51:27.000 Okay.

01:51:27.000 Luke, can you describe the audience?

01:51:29.000 This is the last one here, guys.

01:51:30.000 We've got to close because we've got the girls here and everything else.

01:51:33.000 Luke, can you describe to the audience the importance that believing and honoring God can have on their success?

01:51:39.000 Alhamdulillah.

01:51:40.000 I mean, Solomon said it best, what does a man profit if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?

01:51:46.000 So if you're going to do things and you want to make money, do it the right way.

01:51:50.000 If you want to build a business, do it the right way.

01:51:53.000 And never compromise your character, never compromise your integrity, never compromise your reputation to get to the top.

01:51:59.000 I see a lot of people get to the top, but they end up being miserable.

01:52:02.000 I see a lot of people make money, but they make it the wrong way.

01:52:05.000 And there's a way to get rich.

01:52:07.000 There's a way to build good businesses.

01:52:09.000 Ethically too.

01:52:10.000 Without robbing people or doing any of that, scamming people.

01:52:12.000 And it may take time, but it's worth it.

01:52:14.000 At the end of the day, you look at yourself in the mirror and you alone will determine whether or not you were successful.

01:52:19.000 You alone will be able to determine whether or not you did it right.

01:52:22.000 It doesn't matter what the person looking at you says or whether other people determine whether you were successful or not.

01:52:27.000 Evaluate yourself.

01:52:28.000 Evaluate your morals.

01:52:29.000 Evaluate where you stand and get to the top the right way.

01:52:33.000 Yeah.

01:52:33.000 You can't put a price on that, man.

01:52:36.000 Trust me, guys.

01:52:37.000 You'd rather look at yourself in the mirror and be worth $500,000 and then look at yourself in the mirror and be proud versus looking at yourself in the mirror and being worth $500 million and knowing that you've done deplorable things to earn that money.

01:52:47.000 Because scammers are appealers.
