Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, let me tell you what happened this week.
00:00:02.380 $6 billion floods crypto in one week.
00:00:05.620 Instructions going all in, institutions going all in on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solano.
00:00:13.000 Let me read this to you.
00:00:13.900 So this is just this week that we're talking about, Rob.
00:00:16.760 I don't know if you got a clip on this one or not.
00:00:18.540 I don't know if you do.
00:00:19.340 I don't think you do.
00:00:20.280 Okay.
00:00:20.860 So let me read it to you.
00:00:21.860 And then this kind of addresses one of the questions.
00:00:24.880 Digital asset investment products attracted a record-breaking $5.95 billion inflows.
00:00:30.420 This week, the largest weekly total record on record, driven by delayed responses to weak U.S. employment data and concerns over government stability following the shutdown that began on October 1st.
00:00:41.080 According to CoinShares, Bitcoin let an unprecedented $3.55 billion in weekly inflows, while Ethereum got $1.48 billion.
00:00:48.700 And Solano broke its weekly record of $706 million.
00:00:51.680 A surge pushed total assets under management to an all-time high of $254 billion.
00:00:57.580 The United States dominates regional inflows with a record of $5 billion in weekly flows, while Switzerland broke its own record of $563 million in Switzerland.
00:01:08.760 Germany posted its second-largest weekly inflow of $312 million.
00:01:12.240 And XRP also saw substantial inflows of $219 million, though other altcoins attracted minimal capital.
00:01:20.000 Bitcoin spot ETF alone recorded $3.24 billion.
00:01:25.140 So the question for what's on a lot of people's minds is, am I behind?
00:01:30.680 Did I miss the mark?
00:01:32.080 I know you said earlier, you know, gold is a $27 trillion.
00:01:35.700 You know, total gold worldwide market cap is $27 trillion.
00:01:40.220 Bitcoin is roughly $2 trillion.
00:01:42.280 It's got about 14x to go to catch up to Bitcoin, to gold.
00:01:46.020 Does that mean gold 14xing $1.20 today means that it could potentially go to $1.6 million per Bitcoin?
00:01:55.740 Yes.
00:01:56.520 Yes, it could.
00:01:57.440 All things remaining equal.
00:01:59.060 I just don't think all things will remain equal.
00:02:00.640 I think the bid in Bitcoin will continue.
00:02:03.020 Here's why, Patrick.
00:02:05.280 For the vast majority, I've been trading cryptocurrency since around 2015 or so.
00:02:10.240 For the vast majority of that time, up until maybe a year now.
00:02:12.780 What's the lowest you've ever bought a Bitcoin?
00:02:14.160 $12,000.
00:02:15.080 Nice.
00:02:15.660 $12,000.
00:02:16.120 $12,000, yeah.
00:02:17.380 But I've also sold $17,000 Bitcoins, which I'm not so thrilled about.
00:02:21.720 But what I will tell you, though, up until about two years, maybe even a year and a half ago, you were only able to buy Bitcoin.
00:02:29.740 It was very hard.
00:02:30.760 It was hard.
00:02:31.160 You have a Coinbase account or Robinhood or one of the others, and it gets convoluted.
00:02:35.880 You need this long, you know, your wallet ID.
00:02:39.500 You lose your wallet.
00:02:40.140 There's a famous story of a guy who had $10 billion value today in a Bitcoin on a laptop.
00:02:46.380 He threw it away in the garbage, and he's suing the town to get access to the garbage.
00:02:50.320 And they won't give it to him.
00:02:52.380 And he's willing to spend $50 million to dig up the dump.
00:02:55.040 To dig up, and they won't do it probably because they want the $10 billion in Bitcoin.
00:02:58.480 My point is this.
00:02:59.040 Thanks for letting us know what's in there.
00:03:00.440 About a year and a half ago, they got the regulatory approval to turn Bitcoin and cryptos into ETFs, exchange-traded funds.
00:03:08.640 I'm a heavy investor in IBIT.
00:03:11.380 That's BlackRock's Bitcoin fund.
00:03:14.340 It trades penny for penny with the actual Bitcoin price because they're so massive.
00:03:19.000 They're huge.
00:03:20.020 And they just have to have the same amount of risk on the Bitcoin versus what they have risk with me.
00:03:25.460 So it tracks it perfectly.
00:03:27.040 But it allows anyone with a stock account to start trading cryptocurrencies and not have to worry about, am I going to get hacked?
00:03:32.880 I can't tell you how many times some fake Coinbase hacker has tried to hit me up saying, oh, thank you for your blah, blah, blah of Coinbase.
00:03:43.980 And I'm like, no, I didn't give you anything from Coinbase.
00:03:45.980 And they just try and hook you.
00:03:46.860 If you didn't do this, click here.
00:03:48.520 Right, yeah.
00:03:49.060 Or call us now.
00:03:50.120 And it's always in the Indian call center somewhere, right?
00:03:52.180 But now you can do it with a legitimate stockbroker, any stock house.
00:03:56.220 You do it yourself with Shrub.
00:03:57.720 And you're trading Bitcoin and others.
00:04:00.180 Ethereum has them as well.
00:04:01.520 I think that liquidity, that money pool going in will continue to drive Bitcoin up.
00:04:06.320 I would say rather than, again, the way to trade these things, I think Mark Cuban said it best.
00:04:14.040 Take 2% of your net worth, something that you're not going to miss, God forbid it all goes south,
00:04:19.440 buy Bitcoin, buy crypto, and just put it away.
00:04:22.580 Don't even look at it.
00:04:23.560 Don't look at it day to day.
00:04:24.460 Don't look at the price.
00:04:25.480 And I believe over time, I think you will see a million dollar Bitcoin eventually.
00:04:29.200 How long do you think?
00:04:30.320 You know, Pat, it depends.
00:04:31.480 Give me short term, give me long term.
00:04:34.340 So if the market stays good, maybe 10 years.
00:04:37.580 If the market gets really bad, like if things start to get hairy, you'll know when the market is turning,
00:04:44.500 when there's a really good news story about a stock, Apple, NVIDIA, somewhere,
00:04:48.480 and it goes up a little bit and then it crashes afterwards, that means good news, bad action.
00:04:54.980 That's the time when the market inflection happens.
00:04:57.620 We've had a massive run up, massive run up in the markets.
00:05:01.660 It's due for correction.
00:05:02.540 I think if the market does start to turn south, the stories will follow the market.
00:05:08.040 They always do.
00:05:09.340 From euphoria all the way up on the way down, it's horrible.
00:05:12.200 When that happens, I think you can see a million dollar Bitcoin in three to five years.
00:05:16.880 In three to five years.
00:05:17.980 Tom, your thoughts?
00:05:18.760 I'm with that, and I'll give it to you right here.
00:05:23.460 If midterms are not particularly good and there's risk at 28 in 2028,
00:05:30.120 and if we go back to a Democrat socialist president in 28,
00:05:33.780 I think you could see a million dollar Bitcoin by 2032.
00:05:37.140 That's my estimate, six years.
00:05:38.860 Brandon.
00:05:40.140 Estimate or just consensus?
00:05:42.620 So I'm not going to lie.
00:05:44.160 So I definitely see the future for crypto.
00:05:46.840 I see the use cases for it.
00:05:47.880 I think it's going to be really interesting to see what replaces the SWIFT system
00:05:50.140 because it's a really antiquated way that we trade money from country to country
00:05:53.660 or person to person, so that needs to be replaced.
00:05:55.520 But I can't help but be a little bit creeped out about Bitcoin
00:05:58.900 because of the fact that we've never seen the creator of it before,
00:06:03.100 and the creator's name literally means central intelligence.
00:06:06.420 Satoshi Nakamoto means central intelligence.
00:06:09.120 So that's a little bit weird.
00:06:10.500 Maybe I'm just being paranoid,
00:06:11.840 but I think the fact that BlackRock and everybody is adopting it
00:06:16.020 shows that it could be legitimate.
00:06:17.360 I think central banks will start putting it on their reserves.
00:06:21.120 And when that happens, then it'll be just similar to cash.
00:06:24.020 But I wonder what the winner's going to be in terms of what's used for the global payment system.
00:06:28.360 So whatever technology is best.
00:06:29.500 It may be none of that.
00:06:30.860 It may not be a payment system.
00:06:32.320 It may be just an asset to hold.
00:06:34.420 I mean, literally, you can't...
00:06:35.820 Store value.
00:06:36.300 ...lop off a corner of that gold bar and go buy a cup of coffee.
00:06:39.900 It could be.
00:06:40.820 It could be that every company, every country and every company will need a Bitcoin treasury,
00:06:46.460 will need to just have it in their treasury somewhere.
00:06:48.620 That's a massive amount of buying.
00:06:50.500 The way every company, if you're not starting the AI program right now, you're way behind.
00:06:55.980 You're going to be left behind.
00:06:57.440 I do think we should do a gold standard type of thing with an asset that is able to grow faster than gold is able to grow.
00:07:04.480 So to restrain our money supply in some way.
00:07:06.620 I get the reason for getting off the gold standard, but I think Bitcoin or something like that can serve as a way to somewhat restrain or keep the money supply under control.
00:07:14.700 Yeah.
00:07:14.880 So then the question becomes, do you think SWIFT eventually is going to get replaced?
00:07:20.820 It has to.
00:07:21.840 What do you think, Tom?
00:07:23.640 So we're...
00:07:24.860 Yes, I do.
00:07:26.080 A lot of things are evolving.
00:07:28.200 You know, you just...
00:07:29.160 And they're being replaced by, you know, modern systems.
00:07:33.260 I mean, you look...
00:07:34.140 I think we're on the two-year anniversary of LIBOR went away and we replaced it with SOFR.
00:07:38.240 So there's a lot of things that just naturally evolving in the financial services industry.
00:07:43.420 And SWIFT was one transport system.
00:07:47.860 And thanks to blockchain and other things you can put together, you're going to have different transfer systems.
00:07:53.160 I mean, look at right now.
00:07:54.560 It's very, very interesting.
00:07:57.060 ACH is younger than wire, right?
00:08:01.960 Yet wire is still faster.
00:08:03.800 So sometimes modern things get in their own way.
00:08:05.920 What a great point, Tom.
00:08:08.040 What a great point.
00:08:09.080 ACH is younger than wire, yet wire is faster.
00:08:14.500 So you're saying this...
00:08:15.240 With 10 warnings on it.
00:08:16.040 When you click here, the other bank's going to get it.
00:08:18.100 Be sure it's a bank.
00:08:19.040 Yeah, but you got guys...
00:08:20.940 You hear Ripple, XRP, SWIFT, what that could do.
00:08:24.460 And you saw how much money was put into Ripple just in the last couple of days.
00:08:27.860 Record-breaking for them as well, XRP.
00:08:29.480 So what is your thoughts with that?
00:08:31.700 Yeah, I think that SWIFT is a very antiquated system.
00:08:34.860 And it's funny how it's actually like a messaging device where you say, hey, we're sending you over X amount of money.
00:08:41.320 Like, okay, and the bank adjusts accordingly.
00:08:43.140 So it doesn't actually send money as far as I understand it.
00:08:45.760 But all the stats I've seen on how fast Ripple could do it or any of the others that are competitors for that, they could do it much faster, much more cheaply.
00:08:53.740 And that's really the pain point of replacing that system is because you can't send a large amount of money to somebody in another place in the world instantly right now.
00:09:01.100 You're not alone.
00:09:01.660 A lot of people are thinking that.
00:09:02.700 A lot of people are saying that.
00:09:03.620 We had a meeting last week, Tom, you and I at Casa de Angelo with a guy that's working with a different coin that people are talking about.
00:09:12.320 But that's the discussion.
00:09:14.000 What is eventually going to replace that?
00:09:15.440 By the way, to validate what you were talking about with ETF, Bitcoin today, Fidelity buys $112 million in Bitcoin as ETFs see $1.19 billion in inflows.
00:09:27.900 Okay, so let's go to the next door here.
00:09:29.360 By the way, Patrick, very quickly, very liquid trading as well, right?
00:09:33.160 So you have the tight bid and offer.
00:09:36.080 You want to move size, you can move size with tight bids and offer.
00:09:40.220 The ETF is a great way to trade.
00:09:42.340 Fantastic.
00:09:42.900 Rob ran a poll.
00:09:43.480 So, Rob, can you pull up that poll?
00:09:44.520 I actually like that poll that you ran.
00:09:45.620 If you had $100,000 to invest, where are you going to put your money?
00:09:48.880 Is it going to be gold and precious metals, crypto or stock market?
00:09:52.480 Look what people said.
00:09:53.400 Very interesting.
00:09:54.180 Zoom in, Rob.
00:09:55.500 5,500 people voted.
00:09:57.440 Gold and other precious metals, 38%.
00:09:59.620 You see what Jeff gunlocks.
00:10:00.540 Crypto 26, stock market 23.
00:10:02.760 Huh.
00:10:03.940 Interesting how the audience voted, Tom.
00:10:05.620 I agree, because you see what Jeff gunlocks at the other day.
00:10:07.720 He said 25% of your portfolio in gold is not unreasonable right now.
00:10:12.200 25% in gold today is not unreasonable.
00:10:15.260 That's incredible.
00:10:15.720 Yeah.
00:10:16.080 The amount of the trillions in our portfolio.
00:10:18.820 By the way, but you have to tell who Jeff gunlock is.
00:10:21.800 Yeah, he's a heavy hitter.
00:10:22.640 He's a big king, but he's a bond guy.
00:10:25.040 Don't buy stock.
00:10:26.140 So meaning you have to know who he is and where he's coming from.
00:10:29.580 He's a $1.6 billion.
00:10:30.620 We've had him on by Timon before with Daniel DeMartino Booth.
00:10:34.800 We did that interview, I don't know, four or five years ago.
00:10:38.360 Throw something in here real quick.
00:10:39.600 You mentioned the bond guys, right?
00:10:41.280 Another win in the sales to these alternate assets, gold, crypto, even oil for that matter,
00:10:47.540 is interest rates.
00:10:48.820 They're clearly, there's a push to reduce interest rates.
00:10:51.780 That frees up a lot of risk capital, and they won't flow into NVIDIA at $4.5 trillion.
00:10:59.680 I don't even know what the valuation is.
00:11:01.340 I'm guessing it's going to go towards gold and crypto.
00:11:05.580 It's the hype right now.
00:11:06.860 It's the feel good, and it's bailing everyone out.
00:11:10.420 You buy it, it goes down, just hold, wait for a while.
00:11:12.960 I'm not suggesting you buy and be blindly hold it, but I do think there's really good upside
00:11:18.300 to crypto and gold.
00:11:19.220 Well, we'll see.
00:11:19.920 Gang, before we get into it, two things.
00:11:21.900 Number one, see this shirt I'm wearing with the Vitamina logo here on The Future Looks Bright?
00:11:26.260 I have probably 30 shirts in my closet.
00:11:28.660 My wife says, babe, these shirts are my favorites.
00:11:32.620 When you wear them once, okay, you're going to see how it feels, how smooth it is.
00:11:38.320 You're going to feel like someone's hugging you all day, telling you how awesome you are.
00:11:41.500 If you haven't yet ordered, I think some of the sizes are gone, but we do still have some left.
00:11:46.980 This is the business show that we're talking about here.
00:11:49.280 You got them in white with the gold logo.
00:11:51.900 The Future Looks Bright on the bottom of the shirt.
00:11:54.300 You got them in black, which looks great.
00:11:56.380 And you got them in blue.
00:11:57.220 Black goes with gold.
00:11:58.460 And we have the blue as well.
00:11:59.860 You may as well order all three of them if you are somebody that's in business and you're
00:12:03.800 regularly wearing business shirts.
00:12:05.500 And then we got some of that blue jacket that's left and that whole business series that's going
00:12:09.160 to be there.
00:12:09.480 Now, you can go to vtmerch.com to place your order.
00:12:12.380 Number two, if you're with us right now and you're an entrepreneur, small business owner,
00:12:17.140 we have a circle on Manac dedicated to just business owners.
00:12:22.500 Okay?
00:12:22.800 It's going to be called the PBD.
00:12:24.120 It's called the PBD Entrepreneur Circle.
00:12:26.860 There is a ton of networking going on there.
