Sent here by a rumor. It's not a rumor.
Sent here by a rumor of an interview
with Sailor. Yes, I will be interviewing
Michael Sailor. Yes, we will. We will
have a conversation and I think we'll
have a good conversation. Anyway, let's
look at the total market cap. 2.97
trillion.
That's the total market cap
and that is from coin market cap by the
way just coin market cap $2.97 trillion.
We got Bitcoin at 87870.
Bitcoin ain't going to catch me again.
I'm waiting.
I'm waiting. You guys want to talk about
Bitcoin's going to 73,000 75
67? No problem. I'll wait. Buy more.
I don't care. I'm not in no rush. I'm
not trading.
I'm accumulating wealth. That's how I
look at it. I'm not trading. You guys
can go ahead and trade one minute
charts. Go ahead. Do your thing. And I
by all means, that's your day job. That
that's your job in general. You don't
feel like sleeping, we had Arthur Hayes
on. You don't feel like sleeping, you're
dedicated to the craft. God bless you,
man. leverage purpose. Oh, God bless
you. You do that. I'd like to have my
hair intact. I like to have my black
hair intact. I don't need to be chasing.
I'm not chasing an extra one or two,
three. I'm not in a hurry.
Ethereum's at 2974.
We got uh BNB at 8.48. We got XRP at
$189.
Salana's at 125. Man, Salana look rough
yesterday, man. Angle of front. It
looked rough.
It looked rough.
It look rough.
Tron is still at 27. Yep. 28 27 28. Tron
Tron doesn't move. That's a stable coin,
bro. That is a stable coin.
Uh, we got Doge also sitting at 13
cents. It is up 3% on the day. You got
Cardano at 37.
Man, I can keep going to this. Link is
up. It's up 12. It's up to $12.56. Chain
link. You know, I'm bullish on Chain
Link. I like Chain Link. You got Monero
is up.
Zcash is up 435. Zcash is almost up
almost 10%. 10% in the last 24 hours.
Not bad. But again, I don't trust
anything right now. I don't quarter one
quart. But that doesn't mean that I
won't buy. Like that that doesn't mean
that I'm not buying. Like that won't
that doesn't mean I'm not buying
Bitcoin. Like that doesn't mean I'm not
buying it. It just doesn't mean that I'm
not buying. I'm just saying I'm not I'm
not sold right now. I'm not sold.
Santa's rally has been one.
Santa's rally is broke. Okay. Santa's
giving out boxes full of nothing.
Santa's in on this, too. Santa was in on
October 10th, 2025. I believe Santa
Claus had something to do with what
happened on October 10th, 2025. I'm
telling you right now, MAN.
[cheering and applause]
>> I am telling you right now, I'm not I'm
not even playing. I'm not even playing.
I think Santa
[laughter]
had something to do with it.
Santa angle will play me. Santa had
something to do with it. Okay. Santa was
part of it.
100%.
But this is all about buying by the way.
This is all about buying
for me personally. You buy towards the
bottoms, right? You're not buying the
tops,
easy.
Like, if you've been here for a while,
this should be easy peasy for you.
Nothing should be like this market.
Well, uh, this market, by the way, if
the cycle ended today, this is the worst
cycle ever.
See how I'm going back and forth?
This cycle has made people a bit
bipolar
cuz like if the cycle ended today, this
is like the worst cycle ever. Like the
wor not for Bitcoiners, but like
everything else I mean
people like, "Oh, but this one ran and
that." Yeah. Yeah. It's like Bitcoin and
four other things ran. That's it.
Everything else did nothing. Zero.
Zilch. Not a
nada.
So I don't believe that the cycle is
over.
I I I I firmly stand
in the position of either
either we came early to the party or
or
there's no cycle.
That's it. It's e it's either or. It's
either or.
It is either or. I wanted to get
something up here. One. Give me just a
second, ladies and gentlemen. And then I
will go to the like, do y'all want to
call? I know a lot of people wanted to
call up. So, we'll do that also. So,
give me just a second. Live show. We're
doing live things. Give me a give me a a
sec here.
Give me a one second. Need to post
something up, man.
How can what? I tried to do this before,
but
Hold on. I tried to do this way before.
By the way, if my equipment goes out, I
give up. Like, I will absolutely give
up. I'll be like, "F this. I am out.
That's exactly what I'll say. Like, f
this. I'm out.
But, okay, markets mostly in the green
where we're like, we're hovering at that
$3 trillion mark in total market cap.
Tra I don't know. I don't know what
traders are having fun. I'll ask maybe I
should bring on a trader and ask them
like, are you actually having fun? I
know people in the meme economy are not
having fun. I know they're like, what
the hell is happening? Uh, all coiners
are also
>> before Bitcoin you would have bought.
>> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no. Quarted in time. Quarted in
time. Yeah, I don't know, man. This
There you go. I'm back. I'm back. I'm
back. I'm back. I needed to upload
something.
But seriously, it's like, what is this?
What is this? What What What type of
cycle? I I didn't sign up for this [ __ ]
Like there has to be a bunch of people
that are like, "Yo, I did not sign up
for this. I did not sign up for this."
There ain't no way in hell I signed up
for this [ __ ]
Damn. Okay.
Sorry. I'm getting like text messages. I
I should turn my phone off. I should
really turn my phone off.
I'm like getting text messages all over
the place.
It's It's wild.
Um,
By the way, you can tune into the shows.
We're all over the place right now.
We're all over the place right now. Yo,
don't spam, guys. Don't spam in my chat.
Come on.
Come on. The hell is that? Spamming in
my chat. Anyway,
um,
now that I got everything situated,
again, at the end of the day, for me,
I will continue buying.
I think if if if we're going to talk
about bottoms, well, I think we're close
to a bottom. Okay. I don't believe we're
going to $40,000.
Oh, I I really don't believe we're going
to $40,000
Bitcoin, but if we do, then I'll buy it.
Like, I don't I don't even understand
that mentality when people come on to
social media and they're like, "Oh, it's
going down. That's it. It's going to 40.
It's going to 40,000.
It's going to 40,000. So what? So what
if it goes to 40,000? So what? That
means that I get to buy it cheap.
Wait, you think you think it's over
with? You think because Bitcoin were to
go like hypothetically speaking, Bitcoin
would go down to $40,000, it would be
over?
Are you not watching what's happening?
Like how many times do I have to say
this? We are going digital.
We are going digital. The first thing
that people want to get their hands on
nation states, institutions, they want
to get their hands on Bitcoin.
The problem is a lot of you guys a lot
of you guys came here expecting to make
millions of dollars within three days. I
keep on saying this. You got the minute
rice mentality.
You You think like, oh, if it if it
didn't hit over if I didn't I signed up
for an ex account. I came on to Twitter.
I signed up for a Twitter account. Why
isn't Why am I not a millionaire yet?
That's the problem.
Nobody's taken the time to understand
what Bitcoin is or any digital assets
that you hold.
I can go ahead and talk about Bitcoin
forever, but we can talk about the rest
of the market.
You you guys haven't Have you even
looked and studied
and dived deeper
Do you understand? At some point, at
some point,
five years from now,
when Bitcoin is at $500,000 or $700,000,
you're going to be like, "Holy [ __ ]
I was like right here when it was at
88."
You know what's funny with like human
psychology, right?
Bitcoin's at 88,02 right now. That's
expensive, right?
When Bitcoin goes to $500,000,
$88,200
will be cheap
and you will have a bunch of people
kicking themselves.
Why not frontr run the institutions?
Like front run these people? Get in. Get
in before everybody else gets in. Who
are you waiting for?
I I really don't get it. Like what's the
green light that you're waiting for?
Do you need somebody to tell you that
you can actually go in? Like you you
need somebody to tell you like you can
go in
if you need honestly if you need
somebody to tell you hey you know you
you can go into Bitcoin now you you
really are doing it wrong and I I
already know what your portfolio looks
like.
It looks like dog [ __ ] If you're
waiting for somebody
to help you cross the street,
you're in a bad position.
100% in a horrible, terrible position.
At some point, man, you got to recognize
these opportunities, man. At some point,
you don't got to buy a whole Bitcoin
right now.
You You literally do not have to buy a
whole Bitcoin right now. You could buy
$500 worth
a fraction at 500 a fraction at a,000
weekly.
If you don't want to go ahead and buy a
full Bitcoin,
the product,
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying. Anyway, we'll be back

a little bit about the market and have
him FUD Bitcoin. Even Landy is FDing
Bitcoin.
>> He is futing Bitcoin. I'm telling you
right now, him and Santa Claus were the
reason why Bitcoin dropped the way it
did. [laughter] It was him and Santa.
>> The Santa rally. Don't tell me about no
Santa rallies no more.
>> Hold on one second. We got a caller
calling in.
What's going on? You're live on the
breakdown.
I mean, is it just is it me?
Landy, it might be
>> double Ron here. Can you hear me?
>> Ron, what's Oh [ __ ] Everything's going
off.
>> Oh my [laughter] god.
>> This is crazy. YO, EVERYBODY. YO, WHAT
HAPPENED? SAILOR COME SAILOR'S COMING
ON. EVERYBODY EVERYBODY recognize the
breakdown or some [ __ ] What What is
going on?
>> I guess so. I guess so, man.
>> What's going on, Ron? I see you. I see
you hiking and stuff.
>> Stuff and I I've never seen this call in
feature, man. This is awesome.
Absolutely awesome.
>> Thank you, man. I appreciate it. I seen
pictures of you hiking, man. I see that
you're you're hiking. You're
>> you're staying active. You're going to
Mexican uh
>> every day, man. I'm doing I'm doing
every day, seven days a week.
>> All right. So, Ron, tell me what you
think about the markets right now. What
do you think specifically? Do you think
Landy was a part of uh what happened on
October 10th along with Santa?
>> Maybe. Yeah. Listen, October 10th was a
huge blow. I don't think I don't think
we realize kind of the damage it did
behind the scenes to some of the big
funds, to some of the big market makers.
I think I think there's I think there's
some big players teetering on the edge
of insolveny and they're just raping the
market every chance they get. You know,
they're grabbing every little crumb they
can. We see it. You know, 4,000 down
4,000. I think I think that's going to
take a little while to sort itself out.
I think there's other factors. I think
people aren't talking about China
dumping a lot of Bitcoin
and so I think there's a lot of factors
but you know what biggest thing is I
think we I think it's a blessing to us I
think we have maybe six months to a year
maybe a year and a half two years to
acquire Bitcoin. I didn't think we'd
have it at this point to be honest with
you.
>> I also didn't. So I I'm looking at this
as a huge positive and I think you have
three to four months. I mean, for me,
that's me. That's my personal take.
Landi's probably going to say you have a
a good four to five years or some [ __ ]
But for me, in this range, I think we
have a good I'm I'm busting this shop
today, but I think we have a good 3 to
four months to go and um to go ahead and
uh accumulate some Bitcoin. I I know
when you we say like 78 or 85 whatever
that like that's that that's expensive
but to me it's cheap compared to where
where it's going.
>> Absolutely. Like listen I remember I was
begging people at $3,000 to buy it.
Right. I finally gave up. Right. Those I
had people bet me it would never hit
20,000 again. You know, and it and and
look at us now. And and and then what a
few years ago we sat at 26,000 for 6
months plus or minus a,000 bucks. We
were there for six months. No one would
listen, right? How cheap is that
compared to where we are now? It'll be
the same thing when we're 200 1 million.
You know, it's But I I'm I'm I'm telling
you, David, I'm feeling the most FOMO I
felt in five, six years. I got to get
more Bitcoin. What can I do to get more
Bitcoin? And uh I'm telling you, it's a
blessing. It's an opportunity and we
need to be hitting it as hard as we can.
>> Listen, I'm I'm about to start I'm about
to create an Only Fans page
>> because if that's what I need to do to
acquire more Bitcoin. [laughter] Hey,
I'm I'm a I'm going to register an Only
Fans uh feed finder. I know a lot of you
guys are freaks trying to look at my
feet, so you know, just do these things
to [laughter]
Yo, Ron,
>> I'm gonna touch base with you. Hold on.
There's so many people trying to call
up. It's crazy. Um,
>> good to hear Ron's voice.
>> But Ron, it's it's always a pleasure,
man.
>> Cherish the downside.
>> Congratulations, man. You really stepped
it up over this last few weeks or few
months, whatever it is, man.
Congratulations. It's the time to do it.
Right now is the time. And I think next
year is going to be your best year ever
and all of our best year if we if we if
we lock in, man. That's what we need to
do. We need to lock in. So,
>> well, I'm [ __ ] back. Congratulations.
>> It's like John Wick, right? He retired
and then they, you know, something
happened to unretire his ass and that's
me right now.
>> I'm thinking I'm back. I'm thinking I'm
back,
>> man. I love it.
>> I appreciate the kind words, though.
>> You back. I I definitely appreciate I
appreciate you and I appreciate the kind
words 100%.
>> Uh you're you and and the show that you
have along with 305 like you guys are
are great and and I do appreciate you
guys.
>> Well, thank you, man. Looking forward to
the interview. I'm about to get me some
In-N-Out Burger and uh and sit down
still and be ready.
>> No doubt. Uh thank you very much and and
I appreciate you tuning in. We'll have
Michael Sailor on at 1:15
p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Um, we'll go
to charts right in the next 15 minutes
with Landy. Uh, Landy right now is
standing sitting here like he's Andy
Richtor, right? That was his name,
right? Andy Richtor from with Conan
O'Brien, I think. Yeah, you're that guy.
You're that guy. Okay.
>> Yep.
>> You're that guy.
>> The comic relief puppet.
>> The villain. You are the villain,
though.
>> You are the villain. You you want you
want this market to be like absolutely
disgusting.
>> No, no, no.
>> I believe that wholeheartedly. There's
nothing you can tell me.
>> Hey, look. I want the market to be low
right now so that people have
opportunity.
>> No, you don't. [laughter] Wait a minute.
What? What do you mean I don't? Hey, I'm
one of the few analysts out there that
have not called the top yet. Is the top
in. I just called a local top. I haven't
said it's a macro top. I haven't even
really opined. I've and they've
disagreed with my take and I have yet to
um say it's like cycle over or anything
like that. I'm of the opinion that um
any downside even from here or if it
goes up and then heads back down that
you should cherish the opportunity to
pick up cheaper sats.
That's it. Simple. I'm just going to
keep buying. I I I don't really care.
>> There's only so much. So, yes, keep
buying.
>> Just like just keep buying to get the
price, right? Like if the assets great,
like why
you got to look longterm, man. Like
honestly, like I I you know what it is?
Like I feel like I'm so repetitive every
day. Like don't you feel that way? Like
you become repetitive
>> after a while. is just like you're
saying the same thing. You're obviously
talking to a bunch of people that are
that are acting like they're walls,
right? Brick walls. Like just like do
not want to listen. But you know when
they'll listen? I I'll tell you when
they'll listen. They'll listen when when
when once Bitcoin hits like 500,000 a
million. That's when they'll have the oh
[ __ ] moment.
>> Mhm.
>> That that's when it'll happen. So like
listen, take this like right now.
you want to buy toward like I if this if
we're heading towards a bottom. Well, I
think we're closing in on a bottom. I I
can go any which way with this
conversation. So, why not take advantage
of it? Okay, let's say Bitcoin is
supposed to be let's say it's destined
for 67 hypothetically speaking and it's
at 80 what? 86 87 right now.
>> DCA all the way to 67. What's the
[ __ ] problem? What is the problem?
Why are you trying to catch the bottom?
And I I and respectfully, I am so tired
of hearing people, Landy, don't get
offended. I'm just tired of hearing
people
say that they called the exact number on
the bottom and the top. Like,
>> well,
>> bro, like then give me the [ __ ]
lottery numbers. Do me a favor.
>> I think
>> actually I think you guys should quit
and go and just play the lottery.
>> But it's not the lottery. Understanding
market mechanics and what's at play is
important to identifying opportunity,
right? You if you want to look, not
everybody should be a trader, right? In
fact, most shouldn't and most should
stay out of it. Um, but I have a
portfolio to hedge, right? So, when
price is rising, great. I'm not a seller
of Bitcoin. I'm a buyer of Bitcoin,
right? I would never tell anyone to sell
Bitcoin. In fact, I think that Bitcoin
is such a valuable asset and such a
valuable uh network that you should be
taking every opportunity to get as much
as you possibly can. So, when I'm
hedging to the downside or I say I'm
short, people take that as like, "Oh my
god, he he doesn't like Bitcoin anymore.
He sold or something like that or he's a
bad guy because he says price is going
to go down." No. If I say that guy
though, I don't I am the bad guy at this
moment. But when I'm when I'm short,
what am I doing? I'm I'm hedging against
my portfolio
and I am utilizing that to get more fiat
to trade back into Bitcoin.
And that's what um I think that's where
a lot of the misconception comes in uh
between myself and other people in the
Bitcoin sphere is that I'm willing to
trade it to get more Bitcoin and hedge
my portfolio. And that's a pretty
standard thing for traders to do. And
you know, um I think that any downside
price action should be cherished because
at some point Bitcoin will get its
expansion to the upside and it's going
to be a wild wild ride. Um once the
cohorts that um that that uh the
financial markets are trying to shake
out, one of those bigger co cohorts is
minors um because they're predictable in
the way that they sell. then they can uh
you know once that's done you're going
to see as the asset gets more
financialized more more buyers come in
price is going to going to go
exponentially higher because then it's
all about shaking out long-term holders
and the only way to do that is when
price is rising. You shake out
short-term holders to the downside. You
shake out long-term holders to the
upside. Right? And in this case, it's
been um it's been that way all the since
the bare market, right? All the way up
since the institutions got involved in a
big way from the spot ETF side of
things. So, you know, play the game. If
you're not going to play the game, just
have a plan for accumulation.
>> For sure. For sure. Guys, you can go
ahead and call in 347-6302399.
You are tuned in to the breakdown
episode 641 sponsored by Gemini shows
produced by Gox Media. I'm joined here
by Andy Richtor I mean Landy who is uh
shorting the market along with Santa
Claus. Right. The Santa rally. You're
going to get a lot of boxes full of
rocks in it. Okay.
>> I was about to go deep with this joke.
>> Wow.
>> I forgot I forgot that I'm on Tik Tok.
I'll take me off immediately.
>> Oh my god. They're going to they're
going to strike you.
>> I held up. I held [laughter] up.
I held up, man. Real quick. I was like,
"Shit, I'll get taken off." Uh, but
again, the phone number is 34763023.99.
If you just try to call, there was a
bunch of people calling in. My my
apologies. We had Ron on. Shout out to
Ron. Ron's been a longtime uh supporter.
Nice. You know, it's crazy, man. Like,
um, my DMs have filled up. I still
didn't get to everybody's DMs. I will
after the show. Obviously, again, uh
Sailor is coming on at 1:15 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time. Um
why did I hold it back? A lot of people
ask me why did I hold it back? Why
didn't I announce it a week, you know,
in advance or two weeks in advance? And
that's because like, you know what?
Y'all y'all have evil eyes. That's why
that's why I announced my guest like an
hour before this show. I always do that.
That's a superstition. That it really is
a superstition. And then we're going to
clip it up and we'll send it out all
over the place. But yeah, I'm I'm
definitely intrigued. Uh definitely
excited to have Michael on. I do want to
get his thoughts on Bitcoin. Um
I I know he sits through interviews and
he's consistently answering questions
about Bitcoin, but I have a few that I
don't know if he's answered before. So,
we shall see. Um, you know, we we shall
see. I I have I have I have some
questions, but I I will say that that
Sailor has again changed my perspective
on Bitcoin and and only I I guess only a
few people that are close to me would
understand that. Not that I wasn't
buying Bitcoin or holding Bitcoin. It
just see changed my perspective on it.
Like
I should be cra like I don't know. I'll
explain it after the show. I'll explain
it after the show, but my perspective's
changed a little bit more so now. So,
>> I would hope so.
>> What do you mean you hope so?
>> I mean, for years, for years, little
puppets on the internet have been Well,
not necessarily puppets at the time, but
have been screaming about how you should
get as much Bitcoin as you possibly can
before the institutions get involved.
>> What? I was saying the same [ __ ] What
are you talking about? So then what did
he change about your perspective? Well,
you I'll wait till the end of the show.
>> He is so
laser focused on Bitcoin.
>> Mhm.
you can't convince him otherwise like
the the the conviction there is so
strong
>> because he understands the mechanics at
play.
It
just it's not it's you can appreciate
somebody whether you I don't care. I've
heard so many people say, "Oh, I think
Shift was on here." He's like, "Oh, he's
mental and stuff with the way he's
doing." Like, no. Like that's why I say
to Shift, well, you're mental about
gold, right?
Like your your conviction and goal is
like nobody can break it. So, like
seeing that, especially on a young
asset, particularly like Bitcoin is
still a young asset to see that it's
it's really cool. It really is. And and
and you can apply that kind of
conviction into daily life in general.
So, I don't know. It just gives me it
gave me a different perspective. And um
obviously with everything that's
happened in this market, you see like
Bitcoin's the only really let's keep it
let's keep it real 100%. Like it's
really the only thing that really ran
here. this cycle. I mean, I hate using
this word, but this cycle, it's been the
only thing that's ran.
>> Yeah.
>> And which I don't know, you you didn't
hear my rant. I went on to TikTok and I
ranted about the fact that I I don't
believe there's a lot of things there's
a lot of things that I'm looking at,
Landy, and I swear to God, I just I
don't know.
I might say things and people will
scratch their heads and say, I think
he's I think he's lost his mind. And
that's fine. But it's I'm entitled to my
opinion. And I'm entitled to think that
we came a year too early to the game. Uh
I'm entitled to think uh what we had
five six besides Bitcoin. We had five
six assets that broke alltime highs.
That's it.
>> Yeah. But they just they just made new
all-time highs. They didn't actually go
on a bull run. Right.
>> Correct.
>> So nothing happened.
>> Well, it's been a Bitcoin only market
right. Right. Now um in terms of upside
um obviously many that were here in the
bare market and accumulating have done
quite well right but the expectation was
is that everything else would move to
the upside while Bitcoin moved to the
upside as well and that just hasn't been
the case and that's [clears throat]
that's really thrown people for a a loop
here. they and and it's been reflected
on the timeline this entire time on the
way up while Bitcoin has been doing its
thing and you know volatility to the
upside has been fairly muted even for
Bitcoin versus prior cycles we've had
very long accumulation periods for
Bitcoin
uh during the draw downs uh we get you
know short stints to the upside that
that kick off in pretty aggressive
fashion and then we're right back into
consolidation
again. And you know, realistically,
um, and I've said this and I've been
consistent about it, is since the bare
market lows, like you just need to get
as much as you possibly can. And and
because the institutions are coming for
your Bitcoin, right? If you're a Bitcoin
holder, there's there's a few ways to
shake out Bitcoin holders because
there's long-term holders, short-term
holders, and then you have the cohorts
of [clears throat]
institutions, right? Institutional
buyers. Now, we have a new set of
institutional buyers, digital asset
treasuries, DATs. We have the um we have
now the ETFs, right? The spot ETFs. And
then we have, of course, exchanges. And
realistically, where are the bigger
pools of liquidity and how do you get
them to sell, right? To the downside,
you can shake out short-term holders. Um
to the upside, you start shaking out
long-term holders who want to realize
profits. Um then it's about the
exchanges. The miners is a big cohort.
They hold 1.8 million um Bitcoin in the
in the uh Bitcoin wallet in the minor
wallets.
And you know over time that's going to
keep decreasing
um [clears throat]
as emissions rates slow down. But you
know it it's the game is the movement of
Bitcoin to a lot of these bigger
institutional players. And if you're
here and paying attention, you want to
be in on getting as much Bitcoin as you
possibly can because at some point it
will just go straight up in a very
aggressive fashion on longer term time
frames. Right now it's just a an
accumulation phase in a broader context
like on a quarterly time frame and it
has been since last market cycle.
All you got to do is look at Bitcoin
versus gold, Bitcoin versus equities and
it's in a big old accumulation phase.
So, I say that if you think that um if
you think that we're going to keep
moving forward and that Bitcoin is
desirable by these bigger players, you
better get in now and you better cherish
the downside moves and have a plan to
accumulate them.
>> I I I would say that if you're not
accumulating Bitcoin, I think you don't
understand I really don't you don't
understand this market. That that that's
really it. But I'm not saying that you
can't participate in other stuff either.
Like that's not saying that you can't
pick up like Ethereum or XRP or um
>> I love picking up other coins to sell
for more Bitcoin.
>> That that's the whole thing. There are a
lot of people that understand. Okay, I
can get into Salana. Salana goes up.
Let's say like Salana I think is at 125.
If Salana goes back to its previous,
well, I can go ahead and double my money
and I can get myself more Bitcoin. I
mean that that's how a lot of people
think. That's how a lot of people trade.
Like they'll they'll go into the altcoin
market and say, "I can make, you know, I
can double my money here, triple my
money here, and then I'll go acquire
more Bitcoin." Same thing with the meme
economy. I mean, people are going into
memes and smart people are, you know,
doubling or god knows 10xing their money
and then, you know, they're they're
getting themselves Bitcoin.
>> Yeah. And that smart money knows how to
play this game, man.
>> On that point real quick,
>> smart money knows how to play. You and I
have talked about this quite a bit, but
because a lot of the money that is flown
in and when and I say flow in terms of
flows are coming from institutions into
Bitcoin, when profits are taken, it
we're not seeing a rotation into
altcoins where in prior cycles it was a
lot of profits taken through the
exchanges and then rotated into altcoins
and we'd get massive, you know, a
massive alt season. And in this case,
it's just been little mini alt seasons
because a lot of the a lot of the money
is is outside of the exchange system and
in these larger asset under management
plays. Um, and DATs are just an
accumulation, right? That's what they're
doing. I mean, we've seen a like a
couple that have distributed, but
they're just accumulating. And really,
it's about the trade
on the traditional market side for the
spot ETFs. And when those profits are
taken, they're rolled into traditional
market assets where in prior cycles,
we've seen a lot of those profits rotate
from Bitcoin
on those exchanges to, you know,
Ethereum and so on and so forth, right?
Causing, you know, a nice alt season.
And I think that Ethereum has to go on a
bull run above its all-time high and
actually take a leg up for a true alt
season to kick off. And I do think that
that will happen, but it's going to be
rotational from here on out. And that's
just a function of larger players being
in the game.
>> Appreciate you, Landy, as always. Um,
what do you think uh what do you think
Bitcoin is going to do by by the end of
this month? by the end of this month.
You know, if Bitcoin holds the low here,
I think that Bitcoin has a a good shot
of testing upside towards
it initial levels above this little
range that we have here. It'd be, you
know, 94 to 96, kind of $2,000 at a
time, 96 to 98, and then testing, you
know, 98 to like 101, possibly more. Um,
and that's if we see closes, you know,
continue to even if we see downside
price action, as long as we close above
that big uh low side around $80,000, I
think that um upside is the most likely
outcome in the near term uh coming into
the end of the month and early portion
of of uh January and then kind of go
from there.
Let's hope that Santa's rally is real.
Okay. Let's hope that Santa's rally
along with Landy don't ruin your
Christmas spirit.
>> Okay. [laughter]
Happy holidays to everybody. Happy
holidays to you, Landy. Okay.
>> Appreciate it.
>> I can't even believe I'm saying that to
you, but happy holidays, bro.
>> Well, much love, brother. I look forward
to uh to watching the interview with
Sailor here shortly.
>> Yeah. Me and Sailor just going to play
chess or something. I don't know.
>> [laughter]
>> Well, thanks for having me on, David.
>> Me and S me and S are going to play
Fortnite. So, anybody wants to join in
what what's that? What is it called? Uh
the world what's it called?
>> Battle Royale.
>> If anybody wants to join the battle
royale, [laughter]
let me know. All right. Appreciate you,
Landy. Really do.
>> Thanks, David. Take care.
>> That was Landy, folks. He's a good guy.
I'm just [ __ ] around with Landy. Me
and Landy, that's a bro right there.
[cheering]
I know Landy doesn't agree with half the
[ __ ] that comes out of my mouth, but I
don't agree with them either.
Guys, you can call in. You got five more
minutes left to call in. You guys can
call in at 347-6302399.
If you have a question you want me to
ask, I will I will ask one question from
the audience.
I'll ask one question from the audience
from all the social media platforms that
you guys are tuning in from. I will ask
one question to Michael Sailor from you
guys. As long as it's a normal question,
obviously, as long as the question's
normal, I'll go ahead and ask him. We'll
be uh I was about to say we'll be right
back, but I'm going to give it six
minutes. I'm going to give it six
minutes. Welcome to the breakdown
episode 641.
[cheering]
I got to stop looking at THE PHONE.
I got to stop looking at the phone. I
really do. Uh amazing. By the way,
again, once again, amazing conversation.
I had like two meetings this morning.
Amazing meetings. Um and then I was just
getting ready. I was getting ready for,
you know, like who really leads Bitcoin?
It's it's sailor, right? You know, it's
funny when you guys talk about key
opinion leaders, like Kos and
influencers. You want to know what a K
is? That's Michael Sailor. That's a key
opinion leader. That's a guy who walks
into a room
and people know, hey, I'm sitting next
to him because he's going to tell me
everything I need to know about Bitcoin.
That's your KO.
That's your K. Not what you guys call
Kos on here, okay? That is not That is
not These are not your K. Like I don't
know who gave these people the label of
Ko.
What opinion are they leading you off a
cliff with? What what are we talking
about? Ladies and gentlemen,
I would never want to be called a a K.
When people call me that, I'm like ew.
No,
not in this space. I maybe this space
has absolutely destroyed it. Maybe it's
destroyed it for me. I don't know. But
that's somebody that's a KO. Like that
sailor walks into a room, you have you
see it like everybody surrounds him.
Everybody wants to know what's going on
with Bitcoin, what's happening, what's
next. And he's just calm. He's just
really calm. He's calm. If you watch
most of his stuff, he's very calm.
I'mma definitely get the one-on-one uh
podcast with him and I'm definitely I
mean I seen his last podcast where like
he did it from his house and it's like
man
I can see like we and breaking down
Bitcoin and why bit anyway
anyway people are trying to call in and
they can't get through. So you know what
lines of lines are messed up. How about
that? Lines are messed up. Ron was the
only one that could get through today.
Anyway, we'll be right back after this
commercial break from Gemini. Yo,
Gemini, I need the voice over. I really

There's nothing I can do. We have people
in the chat saying that Bitcoin is going
to end the year at 110. We shall see. We
shall see. Anything can happen. Anything
can happen. But you know what? Landy
will tell you otherwise. Landy will tell
you otherwise. Welcome back to the
breakdown episode 641 sponsored by
Gemini.
Goxin media produces this show. My name
is David Goxin for those that don't
know. Welcome all from all my multiple
social media platforms. This is a
multistream. Some of the comments I
cannot see. Unfortunately, the only
comments that I can see are the ones
from Twitter and from uh YouTube. So, if
you want to go ahead and chime in and
throw your two cents in, you can go into
the chat. Uh but particularly on YouTube
and on X, we will be interviewing or I
will be interviewing uh Michael Sailor
at 1:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Uh
we will talk about Bitcoin. What else
are we going to talk about? Why not talk
about Bitcoin? and I want to get his
perspective on Bitcoin. Um, right now
the markets
the markets they look good. I mean, like
they look good, but I I still I still
don't I still don't trust it after the
last two days. I I don't I'm sorry.
Those $4,000 swings were crazy. Those
$4,000 swings were crazy.
What do you mean you don't hear
anything?
Yo, I you know what? I got to shut the
chat off. When people start saying that
they don't hear anything, I got to
really shut the chat off, man.
Some people Yeah. Yeah. Thanks a lot.
What What is happening, man? Why am I
listening to the chat? The chat is
purposely trying to go ahead
and mess around. Chat is literally
trying to mess around. Uh CNBC just came
out with Santa Claus rally. What is it
and will it occur this year?
I hope Santa rallies this thing to 100K.
I really hope Santa rallies us to 100K.
I really hope so.
Santa, I've been good, man. Santa, you
know what? We deserve it.
Do you know what it's like being in
crypto? Santa. Santa, do you know what
it's like being in crypto?
Social media is already toxic.
Now you add in crypto. Do you understand
what it's like being in crypto?
If you can make it in crypto, you can
make it anywhere. I'm telling you this
right now. That used to go for New York.
Like they used to they used they we well
we still say it for New Yorkers. If you
can make it in New York, you can make it
anywhere. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no. If you can make it in crypto,
you can make it anywhere.
With the stuff that we have to deal
with, the stuff we've dealt with for the
past four years,
Insanity.
And we're still here.
And we're still here. That's the amazing
part. We're still here.
We're still kicking.
For those who did not sell, for those
who refused to sell but continue to go
ahead and buy more, congratulations cuz
long-term we're going to win.
We're going to be a part of the
celebration.
So, it doesn't matter if Bitcoin were to
go from where is it at right now? 87,000
to 78,000. It wouldn't matter. If it
goes to 67, it goes to 40. It doesn't
matter.
It's already programmed. And I hate
using that word, but it is already
programmed.
It's programmed to go higher.
It's changed everything.
I say this all the time. I say this.
I've said this on spaces. I said this on
post on Twitter. I've said this on
Instagram. I've said this on Tik Tok, on
YouTube, on multiple podcasts, on
national TV. I've said that Bitcoin has
changed everything. It has. It's changed
everything for me. And that's not from a
monetary standpoint.
That's where you guys get it wrong. It's
not changed. Gains are great.
Gains are great. Do not get me wrong.
But it's changed everything. The outlook
of
what we used to believe in wasn't really
reality.
And that's the truth.
What we were taught, what we were told,
it was all [ __ ]
What we weren't taught,
They made sure not to go ahead
and invite us to the party.
The system made sure.
And that's why to me, Bitcoin is that
important.
I get it. Everybody's here for gains. I
understand that. I'm not I'm not stupid
to that.
But like I've said plenty of times for
years, like Bitcoin is it's more than
just gains.
It opens your eyes up to everything. It
really does. It unplugs you from the
system.
It's the truth.
You finally see value.
You finally understand what value is. I
mean, that's the best way to put it.
So they can say people like us are are
crazy, but let's see what they say in 5
to 10 years. That'll all change.
I believe that
at 5:15 Oh, excuse me. At 5:15, at 1:15
p.m. Eastern Standard Time, we will be
joined by Michael Sailor.
I am shutting down my phone. Stop
texting me.
Stop texting me, guys. Michael will be
on. I'll ask him a few questions. We'll
have we'll have a good conversation.
Hopefully, everybody who's tuned in and
I see the numbers and the staff's
telling me. Hopefully, you guys learn
something.
Hopefully, you guys will understand and
walk away
because there's a lot of you guys still
on the fence on Bitcoin. I still don't
understand why,
but hopefully you learned something.
We'll be right back after this
commercial break. Sponsored by Gemini.

Well, uh we have um
we have the man, the myth, the legend,
uh in the green room. We will bring him
out in the next uh minute. But let's go
ahead and play this for those who are
unfamiliar, which I don't know how you
can be. Before Bitcoin, you would have
bought bars of soap. You would have
bought anything. You would have bought
food. You would have bought bullets. You
would have bought [music] guns. Anything
tangible that you can self-custody, you
would have held. Now after Bitcoin,
[music]
Bitcoin is competing with gold. It's
competing with real estate. But that
being the case, the way I think about
Bitcoin is it's a digital monopoly on
capital. It's the world reserve capital
Network.
[music]
>> I don't give a [ __ ] about your
short-term prediction. The ultimate goal
is to get Bitcoin.
>> [music]
>> All right, let's bring uh let's bring
Michael right in. Michael Sailor,
everybody joins us on the breakdown
episode 641. Hi, Michael. How's it
going?
>> Hey, awesome. Can you hear me? Okay,
>> I can hear you. It's perfect. I
appreciate you joining the show. Um I
was just I was trying to reply back to
somebody to let them know I see you in
the back here in the green room. Um,
the first thing I wanted to hit quick
with, uh, before we get into the markets
and Bitcoin is, uh, I just want to know
if you're next, okay, from the time you
turned around when Scotty made that
comment, uh, about him, uh, knowing who
Satoshi was in like 1996 or 1997
when you were on that panel with him,
>> what was your reaction?
>> [laughter]
>> You know, of course, the white paper
didn't come out till Halloween of 2008.
That's when Satoshi leaped on the
screen. So, uh I don't I don't like to
speculate what Satoshi was doing before
the white paper.
[laughter]
>> I've never seen you turn like I've
watched so many of your interviews. I've
never seen you turn so fast. Um but
again, I appreciate you coming on. Um
what's your take right now with
everything that's happening in the
markets?
I think the fundamentals are great this
year. It's it's pretty much the best
year we've had in the history of the
industry. Um, you know, universal
support from the banking establishment,
from the securities regulator, from the
commodities regulators. Uh, tokenization
of everything is coming. Bitcoin's been
embraced as digital gold. Uh, the banks
that we never thought would join are all
coming on board. They're going to start
to extend credit. They're going to start
to offer custody. So, so pretty much if
I had a wish list of of the top 12
things that I wanted, I got all of them
this year. I think that the price action
is choppy and sideways and and you know,
when you talk to people, they say the
market's really being driven in the near
term by the derivatives traders and you
know, the derivatives market, the
perpetuals is 5x bigger than the spot
market. And so if a guy wants to put a
billion dollars up and go 50x lever
short or 50x levered long, then that
trader controls the price for the day
because it's a lot of leverage and you
know it's a global market and 80 you
know people talk they they like to talk
about the corporations but at the end of
the day 85% of the Bitcoin is held by
not corporations. Nobody knows who owns
it. And those crypto native OGs, they're
using the crypto exchanges and crypto
derivatives to get liquidity. And so you
got $1.7 trillion dollar worth of people
with capital that could leverage it 10
or 20 to one. And they decide what
they're going to do, you know, above my
pay grade. I think at some point, you
know, the the general sentiment will
flip from being short to being long and
we'll have a face ripping rally north. I
just can't tell you when.
>> What made you change your mind about
Bitcoin? Like what was it? What when did
you have that moment where you were
like, you know what? This is this is it.
This is the asset.
>> You know, that was the during the COVID
lockdowns and there was a war on
currency. But I mean the analogy I give
you is if you had a $500 million real
estate portfolio in the middle of the
city and the mayor said there's been a
pandemic and so we've decided to lower
rents to zero forever on your building
for the public good. If you could sell
the $500 million of real estate and move
to a different city where you didn't
have to accept zero forever, you would
probably sell your real estate and you
would move to another place that you
thought was more capital friendly or or
more investor friendly. And in essence,
that's what happened in 2020, you know,
when they lowered, you know, pal said,
"I'm lowering interest rates to zero and
I'm keeping them there forever." So I'm
not I mean the famous quote is I'm not
even thinking about thinking about
raising interest rates until like the
year 2024. So if you know look if if I'm
your boss David and I said hey for the
good of the population we've decided to
lower your salary to zero for at least
the next four years but hope you keep
working for us. How long would you keep
working for me?
>> Yeah [clears throat] I think I'm
leaving.
>> Yeah. So, I mean, I think it was that
catalytic event where and and I'm we're
not the only people that experienced it.
A lot of people experience that kind of
economic shock and it was like, okay,
you you probably ought to just
reconsider all of your assumptions
about economics and life. And you know,
look, I mean, literally, if I go to
everybody in your company and I say,
"We're just going to cut your salary to
zero for the next five years." Wouldn't
you be shocked if they didn't do
something?
>> I'd be shocked if they stayed.
Absolutely shocked.
>> So that's kind of what we did. I had
$500 million and it all of a sudden
became worthless and getting debased and
you know at that point you decide maybe
you need to find a new profession.
>> At its core, what problem does Bitcoin
solve better than anything else we would
have ever created?
I think the the simplest metaphor is
digital gold and and gold for 3,000
years is just portable capital. You
know, it's it's, you know, I I want to
carry a bunch of wealth with me across a
border and I don't want to trust a
counterparty. So, a non-s sovereign
store of value. And uh you know, if I
had a genie and three wishes and I could
make gold better, my first wish would be
shrink the supply to 21 million coins
and make it illegal to make any more.
And my second wish is make it invisible
and teleportable and indestructible and
let me carry as much gold, you know, in
my pocket as I possibly can. And my
third wish would be make it programmable
so a billion AIs can tra tele teleport
it and transform it a million times a
minute so that I can put it on a you
know a billion computers and and have it
have it get traded back and forth 37,000
times while I'm sleeping right and I
would think digital gold as I just
described it's got to be better and more
valuable than physical gold and
especially in the 21st century when
you're looking at 10 billion computers
and 10 billion AIs and 10 billion mobile
devices. And you know, you're never
teleporting an ounce of gold on an
iPhone. So, I just think it's digital
gold. It's got to be 10x to 100x better
than gold
>> after everything you've seen, cycles,
criticism, adoption. What gives you the
strongest confidence that Bitcoin's role
is still expanding?
Well, because it is expanding because
the president of the United States has
embraced it because David Sax says it's
the world's dominant digital commodity
and asked that whether an issuer because
200 companies have started buying it
because the CFTC says commodities
exchanges can trade it in the US for the
first time and take it as collateral and
because the SEC acknowledges it because
the head of the Treasury acknowledges it
and every non-financial cabinet member
acknowledges it and everywhere in the
world people acknowledge it as digital
property except for Cuba and North Korea
and in Cuba and North Korea they throw
you in jail for owning a house you can't
own anything right I mean it's illegal
to own property so I think
>> global consensus has formed that Bitcoin
is digital property and that's never
been clearer today and when we got
involved it was a $150 billion network
and today it's a two trillion dollar
network and So if it's growing three
times faster than the S&P and if there's
hundreds of millions of people that
acknowledge it, you know, then I think
that that's pretty good indisha that
it's succeeding.
Welcome to the breakdown, by the way.
Episode 641, joined here by the legend
himself, Michael Sailor, who man, it
seems like you strategy just buys
Bitcoin every single week. like it's
just waiting for an announcement of how
much more Bitcoin that you guys acquire.
What is the percent that you're looking
for to in terms of to acquire in terms
of supply?
>> Well, we've acquired 90 times 90
different acquisitions over five years
and so I don't know 250 weeks in five
years and and we've done 90. So, not
quite every week, but but whatever we
could uh crack our piggy bank open and
find a bit of money and go buy, we do.
We bought a billion a week for the past
two weeks roughly. Um we're up to 3.2%
of the entire supply. It cost us $50
billion to get to 3.2%.
You know, I'm thinking that the next $50
billion won't get me 3.2. It'll probably
get me 1% or less. And I'm thinking if I
come up with a few hundred billion, I
might, you know, when what I've said is
is if we get to five% of the network,
Bitcoin is going to be a million a coin.
If I get to seven and a half% of the
network, it'll be 10 million a coin. So
think of it as I'm buying something
getting exponentially more expensive
using exponentially more money. And
where where do we top out? You know, I I
think we top out between five and seven
and a half percent. And then we just
exponentially slow down, right? And the
rest of the network is right now it's,
you know, a after a hundred billion
dollars of money from Black Rockck and
50 billion from us, 85% of the Bitcoin
is held by the OGs.
>> Exactly.
>> After the next trillion dollars from the
big institutions, maybe it'll be 75%
will be held [laughter] by the OGs. So,
it's think of us as powering the network
up and we're pushing against an
exponentially hardening
asset. And that's the way it should be.
Look, 95%
of the Bitcoin's been mined. By the year
2035, 99%
that last 1% of Bitcoin comes out
between the year 2035 and the year 2140.
It's a hundred years to get the last 1%.
And so we we look at it like that and we
will just be like the little engine that
could we will keep you know turning the
crank powering the network you know
driving up the network value for
everybody and uh and you know I think
that you can do that at least for the
next hundred years. I don't know what
happens after 100 years. I haven't
worked that out yet. That the AI version
of me will be will be giving interviews
in a hundred years about what we're
doing next, but that won't be me.
>> I'm sure you're working on that. Um
>> have uh when Black Rockck and you speak
of Black Rockck, Black Rockck now
Vanguard has come out have has stated,
hey, we're opening up business to our
clients. Bank of America came out said,
you know, um that at least 4% of your uh
portfolio should be allocated to crypto.
Um did they reach out to you in any way
like before any of these?
>> Oh yeah, I met I meet with all these
banks. I I went and met with the CEO of
Bank of America. I've been a client of
Bank of America for 30 years and I
pointed out that, you know, this is a
great opportunity for the bank and they
were missing it by, you know, having a
very very vague ambiguous, you know,
anti-crypto policy and maybe he should
intervene and he did. And so, yeah, I
from what I can see JP Morgan is is uh
progressing their stance to be pro-
crypto, pro Bitcoin. You can see that
Bank of America, Wells Fargo, BNY Melon,
PNC Bank, um Morgan Stanley, you know,
all all the City City has announced
they're going to custody and then uh uh
Charles Schwab and uh Texas Capital has
been a really big pro uh Bitcoin
supporter as well. So I I would say 80%
of the major banks in the US have
flipped to being very progressive in
this stance. And the ones that were kind
of anti or very conservative even like
like Vanguard is not a bank but you know
they were kind of anti and now they're
moving to neutral. You know most you
know what I say everybody's against
Bitcoin before they're for it. Including
me, right? Including me.
>> That's why I asked you that question
earlier. What made you, you know, change
your mind on it? It was just like, what
made it that asset for you?
>> You know, uh, John D. Rockefeller was
big into racing horses. He had horse and
carriage races, but he got insanely rich
off of the automobile.
>> And so, it's like, you know, everyone
that bought an automobile was in favor
of horses and horse and buggies before
they saw the automobile work. And so, I
think uh, everybody's against it until
they see it work. But and it takes a you
know it takes a certain amount of data
and a certain amount of time. But I mean
at this point you can see you know the
the rhetoric and the language everywhere
in the world. And five years ago it was
I don't know if it's going to work. And
then it was like well it sounds too good
to be true. And then it's like well
maybe the government will take it away
from you. And it's like well I guess
they were not going to take it away from
you. Oops. I guess I guess we can all
get rich and live happily ever after if
we embrace this technology. And I will
note it's 30 years from the point that
we had a that electricity started
commercialized before it was common in
buildings. That was a 30-year
transition. So most technologies, the
automobile, electricity, whatever. Yeah.
You know, we we had good nuclear power
in 1973 and then in n in 2021 after the
lockdowns, all the power companies I
spoke to were going to shut down all the
nuclear power plants in this nation. So
that was a 50-year struggle and then all
of a sudden we had our chat GPT moment
and people thought wow these AIs work
and they want electricity. we got to
feed them electricity. And nuclear
became cool in this country and in the
world again because we realized, you
know, you don't have nuclear power, you
don't have uh AI, and then you're just
going to be slow and stupid. And uh you
know what I say is you put electricity
into a into a GPU data center, you're
not slow and stupid, you know, and you
put electricity into a Bitcoin miner and
you're not going to be weak and poor,
right? So I think that the world is just
evolving. I think everybody would like
to be um strong and rich,
quick and smart and uh and and you know
all the haters of AI, you know, at the
point that you actually start talking to
it and it does the work of a hundred
people in like five minutes, you're you
get the religion. You're like, "Okay, I
guess this isn't like a a gimmick thing
anymore. I guess this is real." And and
I think the society
they're rotating right to embrace, you
know, it's digital assets. Is it better
to move money at the speed of light and
do everything's a million times faster,
smarter, and quicker? Yeah. No. Well,
two, three years ago, people thought no.
But now people think, yeah, like maybe
we do. You know, the DTC, they custody
all the securities in the world.
>> CEO gets on on the internet, records a
video, and says, "Hey, we're going to
tokenize all the securities on the DTC."
Well, that happened fast. You know, that
took one election, a speech by the head
of the SEC, and now the person that
custodies literally all the publicly
traded securities in the country, maybe
in the world, says, "Yeah, of course
we're going to tokenize this." You know,
so that that I think you're seeing that
with digital currency. Of course, we're
going to have tokenized dollars, digital
securities, digital exchanges. Yeah, of
course we want to trade 24/7, 365.
digital capital. Yeah, of course we want
to put our money in cyerspace. Why
wouldn't I? Why wouldn't I want to be
able to put my money in cyerspace and
move it move it at the speed of light
and put it on a computer? I asked the
AI. The AI said it's a good idea.
[laughter]
I think that's where we are right now. I
I I think the world is rationalizing and
and it's healing and and we're, you
know, there's always the countries like
they're afraid, we don't want you to
have AI, it might give you the answer.
We don't want you to have digital
technology. It might work too well.
people might, you know, who doesn't want
you to move your money at the speed of
light? Uh, well, countries that have
laws against moving money, you know,
it's like people that don't want you to
own things or move things or afraid of
technology that let you do things. But,
as I've said before, you know, the
Japanese and the Chinese thought that
munitions and explosives were cheating
in war, and they outlawed them, and that
didn't work very well for them.
[laughter]
Eventually the warers showed up with
with with battleships and guns and
explosives and then the Japanese changed
their policy and the Chinese changed
their policy and I think digital assets
and digital intelligence ultimately you
can't use it without quoting that it's
the future. It's just a you know to
paraphrase William Gibson he said you
know the future's already with us it's
just not evenly distributed.
So what what we have is stuff getting
distributed, you know, in its own, you
know, human way.
>> So I'm getting that you're bullish on
AI.
>> I'm very bullish. Pretty clear the cars
are going to drive themselves. The
robots are going to do all the work. You
know, when I have a question, I go and I
ask the AI. I tell it to grind away. It
does the work of a 100red lawyers and a
100 bankers and 100 financers in 10
minutes. Then I then I tell it to do
redo the work and I get like uh 300 man
years of work in like half an hour.
And that's just me. In fact, um we've
issued eight billion dollars worth of
digital credit this year. And the most
successful IPO of the year was Stretch.
It's STRC. It was $2.5 billion. I
couldn't have done any of it without AI.
If if we had not had AI, we would be
eight billion dollars less. We five
IPOs, none of them would have happened
because I use the AI
to design the securities and solve all
the tax problems and all the securities
law issues,
you know. So, I like I'm a big believer
in using AI to design new things. And I
look, I'm just I I focus upon digital
credit and securities, but there's
someone there thinking about how to make
the car drive and cure cancer and like
like aren't there like a hundred million
problems the human race has to solve
that we've that you're like, well,
you're going to need a thousand people
with PhDs to solve that. Well, guess
what? Now every 16-year-old has a
thousand PhDs at their fingertips. And
so I'm very bullish. The world's going
to be a much better place. and and we're
going to see an age of empowerment and
abundance because of digital technology.
>> When people mention quantum computing
and Bitcoin,
what are your thoughts on that?
>> I think most people promoting it, they
just want to raise money, their VC, and
they want you to fund their VC startup,
their quantum startup, their computer
startup. And so it's kind of like when I
tell you that the you know the the ocean
is going to flood Miami and then I ask
you for10 billion dollars to do
something like there's an economic
motive. What do I think? I think that at
some point if there is a quantum threat
you know then the world will form
consensus. Uh the US government and
Apple and Amazon and Facebook and Google
everybody will upgrade all of their
software libraries and cryp encryption
libraries. And when that happens, you'll
know because everybody on Earth will be
doing it. And I think this I think
Bitcoin's just a software network. So I
think that um we will upgrade the
software. You know, people with their
private keys, if they need to, they'll
just reenrypt their wallet or or they
will they will use the upgraded uh
quantum resistance software to secure
the network. The network will get more
secure. Maybe we'll find out that 6
million Bitcoin have been lost forever.
The dead people, they won't upgrade. and
the loss Bitcoin will get frozen or or
just frozen out of the network. It'll be
a massive deflationary event. Uh the
price of Bitcoin will increase, the
security of Bitcoin will increase. It'll
be good for the world. It'll be good for
Bitcoin, right? I'm I'm an optimist. I
tend to think smart people that put
their money in a bank when when it's
time to upgrade the software to protect
their money, they'll probably upgrade
the software to protect their money
because everybody likes their money.
It's like I don't think it'll be
controversial. I think the controversy
is I send you an email at midnight and I
say, "David, you know Dr. Evil's got a
quantum computer and he's going to hack
all your accounts. So, please click on
this link and upgrade to quantum
resistance software immediately. Right
now, don't even think. Do it now.
quickly quickly quickly give me click on
the link and and by the way type in your
password you know and and and use your
multifactor authentication device so
that we can you know upgrade your wallet
to quantum resistant and you're smiling
because you know that's a fishing
attack.
>> Yeah.
>> Like when I when I panic you I'm just
engaging in a fishing attack to steal
your money. So I don't think there's any
debate that at some point the software
and the hardware gets upgraded. This is
not a surprise to anybody. everything on
Earth gets upgraded. I think that the
debate is is should we panic,
you know, should we panic now? And if
you you remember the Hitchhiker's Guide
to the Galaxy.
>> Yeah, of course. Yeah.
>> What's on the back cover? The two words
most important two words in the in the
universe. Don't panic.
>> Exactly.
>> So, we'll be fine. We're all going to be
just good. And there'll be a hundred
things, challenges. 90 of them will
never materialize. 10 of them will smart
people will upgrade to deal with the
threat. What you got to keep in mind
with Bitcoin is it's an economic
protocol, right? The the asset operates
on a network that's based on a protocol
that's rooted in an ideology and the
ideology is property rights and
integrity and and and engineering
soundness. So the protocol itself is
going to live on just like the English
language. Just Arab Arabic math is
thousand years old. We've been using it.
The English language we've been using
for hundreds maybe a thousand years. It
by the way English evolves. Arabic math
not so much. They all were the best
protocol. The the smart rich powerful
people chose it. The smart rich powerful
people will have chosen Bitcoin. That's
where all the money is. And over time
when there's a threat, you're just gonna
upgrade your hardware, upgrade your
software, and keep the protocol. And and
so I I I wouldn't panic and I wouldn't
let people like, you know, fudge you off
your center because because the odds are
always higher that uh you're going to do
something stupid because you're in a
hurry. And and and that's why I think
you should be calm and methodic about
these things.
>> Patience. Patience. Um, Senator Lumis is
trying, she stated that in 2026,
um, that she's hopeful that there won't
be any, I guess, uh, cap gains tax or I
forgot what she said. Uh, but I'm going
to power she will try to take taxes off
of Bitcoin. What are your thoughts on
that? You think it happens?
>> It's all above my pay grade, David. That
would be determined in DC. [laughter]
So, I I couldn't speculate. I think that
um I think the exciting thing going on
in DC in 2026 is going to be the Clarity
Act. And I think that uh there seems to
be bipartisan consensus that we we
should get a Clarity Act. It'll be good
for the industry. I think it will be
good for the industry. I can't say
what'll be in the final version of it. I
>> think matters Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin
is digital capital, right? So all of the
critical questions have already been
settled for Bitcoin. I think it's
there's a lot of questions with regard
to digital currencies, digital
securities, digital tokens, capital
formation
that will need to be settled and and
we'll see, you know, how that all works
itself out.
>> You think you think it happens quickly
though? You think they'll pass the
Clarity Act quickly
>> or do you think they'll have to wait,
you know, for the midterms?
>> I think they'll be discussing it for the
first half of the year. I mean, it could
take to Q2. I I would be shocked if it
takes longer than the end of Q2, but but
like I'm not going to, you know, go on
Poly Market and bet that it's done by
January 30th, right?
>> Um I had a question from uh Bitcoiners.
They they wanted me to ask you
>> um Mike, what do you what do you think
about Bitcoin ordinals?
Do you think it helps Bitcoin?
>> Yeah. Um That's a very controversial
topic. Uh [laughter] my my view is um we
should avoid
avoid making upgrades or changes to the
protocol to chase after features
um because fundamentally bit Bitcoin's
uh very stable protocol is is the
feature. the fact that it changed very
slowly and it changes only um only due
to overarching consensus whe when when
there's overwhelming consensus that we
need to make a change or an upgrade to
the protocol then I think it makes sense
but until there is overwhelming
consensus I think we should be very
conservative with the protocol with
regard to ordinals a lot of they came
about because of uh you know
capabilities ities from Taproot and from
other upgrades that were made. My
general view is you should be able to
use the network as long as you don't as
long as you're not lobbying to change
the protocol or change the functionality
of the network. And if people use it use
Bitcoin in a certain way like for
security or for you know or for burning
a certain message or something uh it's
their right to do it. I I just think
that um ultimately the the real
fundamental value of the network clearly
is uh monetary integrity, right? That's
the fundamental value. So I guess what
I'd say is I wouldn't lobby to censor
them, but nor would I lobby to change
the protocol to make it easier for them.
I'm very conservative
>> that I you know I I just think that uh
like there like there's one I won't
mention it but there's one that's on uh
there's one ordinal out there. I think
it does bring uh I think it does bring
more people to Bitcoin. The younger
generation I think it brings more big
people to Bitcoin and I think that's
that's pretty cool. But I agree with
you. Let's let's not change anything
because the way it is I think it's it's
totally fine. Um
>> the market sorts this out, right? Like
everybody's got their own view of what
Bitcoin is. Like like what I'm doing is
is I'm selling billions of dollars of
digital credit and I'm taking the money
and I'm buying Bitcoin. Okay, that's my
application to Bitcoin. Some people
don't like that. Some people wouldn't do
that. That's their choice. If we fail in
the market, we won't raise any more
money. if you come up with another idea
like you know if your bank's going to
some people don't want banks to custody
Bitcoin and issue credit on Bitcoin but
you know it's like at the end of the day
some people don't want governments to
buy it some people don't want companies
to buy it some people don't want anybody
with more money than them to buy it
right some people don't like the ETFs
>> right my view is um the network is going
to be most successful if we were
inclusive and if if our message is uh
hundreds of governments, tens of
thousands of banks, millions of
corporations, and billions of families,
and billions of people. They're all able
to use Bitcoin however they wish. Let
them do it. The winners will win, right?
The bad ideas will lose. The market, you
know, the network will evolve and and uh
and I just I'm I'm not a big fan of big
protocol. I don't want to have protocol
bloat where like people are like, well,
we have to add this feature and this
feature and this feature and this
feature and this feature. I'm not in
favor of that. But once you've got a
stable network, uh I'm in favor of a
market economy where let the marketplace
decide right how you know what what is
the best use of capital. It's like an
Austrian economics thing like you want
to you want to start a business with
your money and I think it's a stupid
idea. Well, you do it and if you're
right, you'll make a lot of money and if
you're wrong, you'll lose your money and
the market solves it. But it's not I I
shouldn't be telling you how to spend
your money or dictating. I I'm not I'm
not in favor of central planning. I'm
not in favor of uh you know, [sighs]
cap, you know, capital controls, market
controls, top down, you know, author
authoritarian
dictation. And uh I think the bottom up
approach, the organic approach is best
with these things.
Last question because I know you're a
busy guy and I appreciate you taking the
time for coming on to this show. Really
do. Um
I I I'm sure this is a common question,
but
a million dollar Bitcoin,
if you had a guess when, you know,
Bitcoin hits $1 million per coin, when
do you see that happen?
>> Sometime between four and eight years
from now.
In the four to eight year time frame.
You know, I can't tell you I don't I
can't tell you what date, but it feels
to me, you know, my forecast is,
>> you know, Bitcoin will continually
decelerate from it's right now 45 AR R
45. It'll decelerate over 20 years till
it's like 20 V, 20 ARR. And so if you
crank in that number with a bit of
volatility, it's like it's you would
think that sometime in the four to eight
year time frame, you'll get there. We'll
see.
Well, you know, uh, for me, and I and I
always say this, maybe at first it's
gains or whatnot, but Bitcoin, uh, for
me personally is a lot bigger than just
just that, just gains. It's it opened my
eyes up to everything when I was
introduced to it. It just opened my eyes
up to the system and how, you know, like
the dollar is really not worth anything.
Uh, again, that's that's my opinion. Um,
and I saw what the centralized world was
and uh, you know, and I believe The
Matrix was uh, a documentary and not a
movie. So, at the end of the day, I'm
glad that I was unplugged and and I get
to see um, this side and and I like the
fact that we're going digital and uh,
you know, Bitcoin's leading the way. So,
that's pretty cool. And seeing nation
states participating and getting into
Bitcoin, seeing the entire world
embracing it is pretty cool. It's pretty
cool. Especially when, you know, years
back, you I would talk about Bitcoin and
and people would just make fun of me in
my previous career and say, "Look at
look at the Bitcoin king over there
walking around and I'm like, "You're
missing out." And they would just
completely absolutely destroy me with
comments. But you look at it now,
they're the same people calling up and
saying, "How do we get in?" So that's uh
it's pretty cool to go ahead and stand
on, as I say, stand on business and uh
stand on your conviction. I I think the
you know the the most important idea is
for the first time in human history
you can bind economic energy tightly to
the individual. Right? It's it's so so
that's a profound idea. It's an
ethically sound, economically sound,
technically sound protocol to propagate
property rights or propagate economic
empowerment to 8 billion people. And not
just the individual, every family, every
individual, every company and every
bank. And if you if you look at all the
what the misery in the world, it's the
fact that you know banks never had a
sound protocol to store capital. Nor did
a company, nor did a family, nor did a
country, nor did an individual. Nobody
did. It's like it's like imagine the
human race if we didn't have math and we
couldn't actually add numbers up and
then someone came along and said here's
math and now we can add numbers up and
we can actually calculate you know how
to make the bridge not collapse. I mean
[snorts]
it it it basically is this singularity
where where economics goes from being an
art to a science and uh and you said it
opens your eyes. It's like, yeah, it
opened your eyes because you realize
that there's actually a right way to do
this like like there's a fair and
equitable,
truthful way to work through economic
calculations and and once that happens,
you know, it's like, you know, one thing
leads to another and you question the
premises of, you know, what what's the
best thing for the nation, what's the
best thing for the bank, what's the best
thing for the family, what's the best
way to capitalize a company, how should
you think about credit, how should you
think money, how should you think about,
you know, empowerment? It's you really
question everything, right? It opens
Pandora's box up.
>> And of course, since there's billions of
people, there's billions of conclusions.
Everybody comes to their own sets of
conclusions. But
>> but you know, it really is like fire.
You know, Prometheus, you know, it's
like, okay, you've got this Prometheian
idea. fire. I give you fire and you're
like, "Wait, I don't have to shiver and
freeze to death in the dark."
>> And and if you think about like that
little spark, that little fire and then
how that ripples to the automobile and
the airplane and the heater and the how
many, you know, everything gets
rethought and so Bitcoin is like
economic fire and you know, I say it's
like Satoshi lit a fire in cyerspace.
you started this chain reaction and it's
a viral chain reaction and once you've
seen it, you can't unsee it. And I I
think that joins us together. I'm I'm
grateful to be on the journey with you,
David.
>> I'm grateful that you're out there just
leading the way. Honestly, I really am.
So, if they ever mention a K, you are it
key opinion leader on this very topic. I
I I really I I really do appreciate you
for that and and I appreciate that you
came on to the show and hopefully we can
definitely sit down for a one-on-one
podcast and really talk more about
Bitcoin and the monetary system because
I think it's super important. 100% very
important.
>> I will look forward to it.
>> Thank you so much, Michael. I hope you
have a great day. Guys, ladies and
gentlemen, that is that is the goat, as
I call him, Michael Sailor. Everybody go
ahead and give him a follow. If you're

>> Welcome back to Welcome back to The
Breakdown episode 641 sponsored by
Gemini.
Um yeah, that was um that was great. At
least for me. That was that was great
having uh Michael Sailor on
and just listening to him talk about
Bitcoin.
Uh even going into AI. Um yeah, it was
it was a good conversation. I'm going to
replay it back
because obviously I'm living I I'm in
the moment. So I'm just in the moment.
You guys are sitting back. you're
watching
and I I'm just thinking as you know I'm
just I'm thinking about the things that
he's saying and and I'm trying you know
again a lot of thoughts were going
through my head as um as he was
responding to the questions. Uh, and I
appreciate that he came on obviously and
uh, hopefully we do that one-on-one
interview live and um, we dive deeper
into Bitcoin, crypto and and just the
monetary system because I think it's
really important. So,
um yeah, I I um
yeah, I I I don't even know what to say
to be honest with you. I I really don't
know what to say. That's the goat.
That is the like to me because I'm in
I'm a Bitcoiner
that
I'm not gonna cry. What are you talking
about? But to me that's like that's the
goat when it comes to like Bitcoin,
right? Because
conviction is a big thing. Conviction is
a super big thing in life. It's big. And
like this man is just you you can
obviously tell he's he's very educated.
He's smart. He's He knows Bitcoin inside
out.
This is not somebody who's throwing
millions of dollars at an asset that he
has absolutely no clue about.
So it's like I'm not the only mental
case out here. Like that's that's yo.
One of one of the things I was thinking
was like I'm not the only person.
And I'm sure a lot of you guys were
like, "Shit, shoot. I'm not I'm not the
only person either." And it was one of
those like,
you know, we could never to, oh my god,
I'm going to say something and
everybody's going to take it the wrong
way, but don't you wish we could talk to
Satoshi Nakamoto, right? Like, don't you
wish we can even talk to Hal? I wish I
could have interviewed Hal Finny, right?
Like, you kind of think of it that way.
And then you have well well I've always
said that we need somebody to represent
for Bitcoin, right? I've always stated
that
that we needed to have somebody who can
be out there and be the voice for
Bitcoin and to articulate it correctly
so people understand, so people have a
chance to get in, not wait.
That's him.
Whether you like them or not, I don't
care. People don't like me, I don't
care. But as long as the message gets
across, that's all that matters.
I had so many questions to ask. I had so
I had like 30 questions in my head and
I'm going through a selection of
questions and I'm like which one would
be right? But he's
the way he's breaking down Bitcoin. The
way he goes about thinking
and breaking things down. It's like I
had to adjust every second
to what Oh, wait. Hold on. Let me hit
him with this. No, no, let me let me go.
No, that's what was happening the entire
time. plus analyzing everything that he
was saying. So,
let's bring in Landy. Land's joined us.
Landy now here. He's Oh god, the puppets
here. What's going on, Landy?
>> Hey, great interview.
>> Thank you. I appreciate it.
>> Yeah, look, I mean, Sailor is the best
pitch man for Bitcoin. He
understands how to explain it to not
just normal people but to some of the
largest investors in the world. Right?
So
when you say he's the goat, he is the
goat, right? He's he has perfected the
art of explaining Bitcoin,
something that we've
been trying to do for many years. he
quickly
studied it and then was able to turn
around and
um explain it in a clear and
understandable way to many people. So,
look, shout out to him and um and shout
out to you for getting him on. It was a
great interview. I really enjoyed it. I
I actually liked um that he that he did
drift into the AI AI topic. So, it's
something I'd like to go back and and
rewatch as well because, you know,
there's a lot of wisdom in what he said.
He's got a very unique position in these
markets and he's got a very unique view
of where things are going and although
there might be detractors out there and
there's plenty, right? Um, I think that
he's on the right path and what he's
built, uh, thus far,
um, I think will continue to endure and
I think it's going to surprise a lot of
people. I know that there's a lot of
people that are not in [snorts] that
camp. Um, he knows that and I think
that, uh, what's going to end up
happening in the end is that they will
be proven wrong and he will be proven
right because Bitcoin is the way.
Uh, I I have to replay the show.
>> Oh, I imagine. Yeah. I mean, I have to
go back and watch it again, too. Um,
he's really good. You know, I really had
like I had 30 to 40 questions
like in my head where like I'm not
saying I was going to ask him 30 to 40
questions, but I had 30 to 40
lined up to where like okay I but
he he is absolutely like it's not only
is like you said he's he's really good
at selling but I I think
I think if you listen to the program
today I don't know how you can't buy
Bitcoin.
Yeah. Well, I don't know how people
weren't buying Bitcoin before, but
that's just me.
>> Or at least not at least not think about
it now and say, "Okay, hold on. Hold on.
Let me let this made sense." You know,
it was kind of like this made sense.
Like there were mo if you got nothing
out of this conversation, then there is
no help for you. Like I I 100% I believe
there is absolutely no help for you if
you got nothing out of that that
interview.
>> Lendy has switched to what? I've been a
puppet the entire time. Um
[snorts] yeah, it it's
it's hard when listening to him. I I
mean I also come from from this as a
with a Bitcoin first mentality um in
markets in general, but it's hard not to
listen to him and not get excited about
Bitcoin, right? So um thought it was a
great conversation. He's got a lot of
insight into what's happening in
obviously the banking system um and kind
of where things are headed in the
future.
And
look, the way that they've been playing
the game um as a company, his company
has been playing the game in a very
unique way that has surprised the
markets. So, I would expect them to
continue to do so. And uh I appreciated
that you didn't rehash a bunch of
questions that I've seen across his
various interviews. Yeah.
>> Yeah. I I wasn't that that was my whole
thing when I when I looked at all the
interviews that Michael Sailor did. I
was just trying to figure out what
hasn't been asked,
you know? Just like obviously I'm going
to have to ask about Bitcoin and but
like how how can we have a conversation
where like some of these topics weren't
touched on? And I think like I don't
know right now I I have to replay the
show, but like throughout the show I
felt like at least half of the time I
felt like he was he said a few things
that I I didn't see on previous
podcasts. Respectfully, I I'm not saying
that those shows were bad. I'm just
saying in general like I didn't hear him
before. That's all.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I mean it's um
you know he he does answer a lot of the
same questions, right? especially on
mainstream media, they always have the
same basic questions. So, it's good to
to see him in an environment where he's
got the freedom to kind of take the time
to talk through things. And I'm
interested if you can get him back on um
for a a podcast sit down podcast
interview like that would be
>> I think the podcast is going to happen.
Yeah, that's going to be really
interesting because reviewing kind of uh
once you get a chance to review your
thoughts um
>> there's some things I think that that um
the audience I'm sure you even myself
would like to to see um kind of explored
in terms of topics and
>> and I like I'm telling you like I had so
many question like look like you don't
you don't you don't not just in my head
but like I had questions already written
out man like the the Scotty thing.
>> Hey, you got him to laugh right off the
bat. So, there you go.
>> I just like No, but I I just wanted to
make sure that it like his neck
recovered.
>> Yeah. Well, man, that meme is amazing.
I'm sorry. I I use that quite often. So,
it is a pretty amazing meme. I mean,
>> Scotty's sitting there saying that and
then he goes,
[laughter]
>> "Well, now
>> now you have to get Scotty Pippen on and
you got to ask him all about Satoshi.
Let him let him drop all the deets. Come
on, Scott.
>> Maybe we'll bring Scotty on."
>> Yeah, get him.
>> You know, one thing about me is I'm very
transparent. So, I had one person uh
send me a message and say, "You look
starruck."
>> Yeah. Yeah, a little bit. The gold is
on. At least for me.
I mean, you don't have to think he's you
don't have to have the same or share the
same opinion as me, but like to me
that's some being that I you know, I
talk about Bitcoin all the time, right?
like to see. I'm sitting here with
Michael Sailor who has bet on himself
and bet on Bitcoin and nobody can tell
him otherwise that this thing is going
to succeed and it's going to hit the
numbers that he's putting out there.
Nobody can tell him otherwise.
>> Yeah.
>> And he just said like he was on here and
he said the 12 things that he wanted to
get done it got done. So he's happy,
right?
>> Mhm.
>> So I don't know, man. Yeah, at first.
Yeah, first
that's fine, but the the the nerves they
leave within a minute or two. Don't
worry about it. I I'm quick to recover.
[snorts]
>> Russell brings up a good point. I I
thought it his his take on ordinals was
interesting to hear as well. Um,
>> yeah. I I had to ask him about the
ordinals thing because like it's been
brought up
>> and somebody project still going. So
that that's still something internal
that they're utilizing. So,
>> you know, it's it's something I know
that is a hot topic in the Bitcoin
community. Um, there's very very very
um hot takes on both sides of that when
it comes to the network side of things.
Yeah,
>> but from the Bitcoin holding side of
things, I think it's um it's more about
utilization of the network and how it's
utilized going forward. And I thought
that his take on it was very
interesting. So, it's something that
will remain a hot topic going forward,
though.
>> Landy,
you know, I appreciate you.
Appreciate you too, brother.
>> Everybody follow Landy, man.
Definitely appreciate you, Landy. And
I'll definitely uh obviously give you a
call after the show.
>> Yeah, for sure. Well, I just wanted to
jump on and say great show, great
interview, and uh appreciate you.
>> Don't lie to me. Tell me it was shitty.
Go ahead, tell me.
>> It was not. No, that was this is Look,
maybe I'm a little biased, but I think
it was one of the best interviews that
I've seen with him, exploring topics
that I haven't seen him explore either
in a in quite a long time or um at all
in some cases. So, yeah. No, I thought
it was great and I appreciate you having
me on.
>> Thank you, Landy. I appreciate you guys.
Tune in to Landy tonight. It's Friday,
8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time as he
breaks down the markets. he recaps some
Landy. Uh, thank you.
>> Thanks, David. Take care.
>> Let's bring in um
let's bring in uh this person uh has
promised me a voice over for the longest
time. And I'm so not only was I promised
that I was going to Gemini's uh
headquarters. I Hold on. Let's do a
little uh breakdown here. I was promised
to go to Gemini's headquarters. 48 hour
marathon [clears throat]
then voice over. Yo, I am really the
stepchild out there in Gemini. They must
like not Gemini hates me. That's it.
That's the only conclusion that I can
come to I can come to. Gemini doesn't
like me.
It's sad [snorts]
cuz I love him so much. But let's bring
on Austin Oats. Man. Austin, what's
going on, bro? Oh, hello everybody. I'm
doing good. Thank you for the wonderful
intro today. You had a banger today.
What a stream, man. What a what a good
what a good guest. I was locked in. I
made a point. I was like watching at
home and then I came into the office. I
was like, we're dialed in. Dude, what a
fire stream.
>> Was Gemini dialed in or no?
>> Uh, I mean I am Gemini, so [laughter]
I don't know how to say it that
>> he said I am Gemini. I am Gemini. I am.
Look. All right. I'm in I'm in the room.
I'm in my little my little hideyhole
here. Um this is my mattress.
I got lock in at the office.
>> You are locked in, bro. Like literally
locked in the office. Like they locked
you in the office.
>> I'm literally Yeah. Like dude, I'm in
I'm in the in the closet right now.
Dialed up. This is the the whole setup.
Yeah. We got I got Bitcoin. We got our
Bitcoin. You know, I was I was eating my
PEZ right here watching you talk to
Sailor.
What a good chat though. How did you
fail? You had a little bubbly. I'm gonna
post interview you now. So like how do
you feel after today? Like do you feel
like you know you left any questions on
the table? Do you feel like you you you
learned anything today that to improve
upon in your next big interview?
>> I feel like I wish I had more time.
>> Yeah. Um because I had like I had so
many questions and I also
I I also uh like I studied all of his
interviews and like the things more so
like what he was saying and like
so I but at the same time if you know
how to interview if you're you know if
you're a media personality and you know
how to you know host your show
I'm not going to interrupt him while
he's giving his thesis on certain things
and true
>> you know I allowed it to just flow you
know and
>> um so I sat back and you know I I
personally felt like I was a part of the
audience just being allowed to ask the
question you know or or pose a question
to him
>> uh a lot of things that he said like I
didn't expect us to go into certain you
know topics but we did but I think with
like with sailor I'm definitely going to
set up an interview that's three to four
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah, you need he could talk forever.
>> But he's not just words, you know, like
people are just word salad.
>> Like he's actually like he's thinking
and he's he's breaking things down to
you and he's excited about it too and
it's not
it's just not [ __ ] Like you can
tell like he is bro like Bitcoin I
breathe it like this is my life like and
you can see it. So
>> you're
>> you know like somebody like me who's
into Bitcoin you tell people hey you
know and this dude's on on different
levels man you know on different levels.
Now we just need to get you know
you know the twins I'm just saying the
twins you know twins to come on.
No, that's I mean
>> camera
>> you might I'm trying. I'll do my best. I
try I try my hardest for you.
>> The one thing I forgot to ask sailor was
Hey, so do you got a Gemini Bitcoin
credit card? He
>> does.
He does have one.
>> See, see I left questions on the table.
>> That's all right, though. I feel like
you know he does. I've actually seen him
in like I've I saw him at Pub Key once
with it. Yeah. But he actually uses it.
Like it's pretty sick. Like he does love
Bitcoin. I mean at the end of the day I
feel like I I'm also
like my
>> So let me ask you this question before
you go. This is the question I want to
ask you.
>> I have to leave. You can't.
>> No no no. I said before you go with your
remark. My my bad. Meaning like before
you go with your take. If you were new
tuning in, if you were just if you just
came into crypto and you listened to
that conversation,
would you be more interested in Bitcoin?
>> If you're new, I feel like
>> or it's or it still left you.
It's a lot of I feel like it's a lot of
info. Like he's like it's it's a lot of
info, but I feel like if you once you
break past like he's going to be the
first person you probably look at to
understand it because for example, my
stepmom got into crypto and uh Sailor
was like the like she's you know she's
like highly intelligent. Let's just say
everyone she can pallet like a lot of
words. So like she actually like Sailor
was like the reason she got into
Bitcoin. Like she's like a maxi. Like
she has a ton of Bitcoin.
>> Yeah. Um, and Sailor is the reason she
got into it. Like one of the main
reasons and like the conversations you
had with him today are like the reasons
why it like worked for her. I don't
think it's like if you're intellectual
viewer then like Sailor is a great entry
point like to understand like the
conversations at which he describes it.
if you're low IQ, which I mean some
people are on Twitter, so like probably
more often than not, but like you're
it's probably but you need to understand
like if you p like he's the guy like you
got to trust like he's smart like he
gets it. So like even with that being
said like to condense it down. Um you
know, but I I do think like the lower IQ
people they pro they just need like us
like they need like someone that be like
tell them in five sentences how they're
like why it's good. But like Sailor like
is really good at converting people that
are like on the fence I think.
>> Yeah.
>> That are like oh like
>> I don't know. I get Bitcoin from a
financial perspective but I don't like
have f and he can kind of push people
over that ledge. Honestly I said it in
the chat. He's kind of like Bitcoin
Jesus in a way.
>> It's funny. That's funny
>> because he because he does like he he
push like
>> if he's bit if he's Bitcoin Jesus am I
Bitcoin Moses? [laughter]
>> Yes. Yes. Yes.
part the seas. I'm just I'm just the
guy. I'm the town scrier. I'm just like,
"Yay, yay." I'm just
>> You're just the guy at Gemini, like your
bio says.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I was just that guy.
>> I just saw that. I was dying laughing
cuz I was when I went to shoot you a DM.
I was like cuz I I was like, "Yo, come
on." And cuz I wanted to like I know you
watch.
>> Yeah. All the time. I'm here. I
literally pull up every every every time
that I'm like if I'm not in a meeting,
I'm I'm here.
>> [laughter]
>> like whenever you're live, you're my
daily entertainment.
>> Well, then you know, if you want
intellectual talks, tune in to Sailor.
If you want low IQ stuff, tune in to me.
Uh, the breakdown episode 641.
[laughter]
>> No, but like I I do I really do believe
like
um there's like different entry points.
Like I'm just kind of trolling with the
IQ stuff, but like
>> No, no, but it's true because like he's
talking at like an institutional level,
right? Like he's talking to
multi-millionaires, billionaires.
>> That's fair, right? My
>> I love to talk to everybody. Like
there's a little difference there. So
like I you know there are people that
are they have no no clue that the dollar
is worthless, right? like they they're
living in this fantasy world that's
being sold to them by the this wonderful
centralized system that we're, you know,
that they're currently in. I would like
to say they're currently in because
we've already unplugged ourselves,
right?
>> We're out of the matrix, right? That
that's kind of the way I look at it.
>> So, there's a way that you have to go
ahead and bring them in.
>> Yeah.
>> Because like it's kind of like when Neo
woke up like they were like, "Oh my god,
we never break a mind when it's at this
age." Or something like that. I think
I'm paraphrasing there, but I think
that's what they say like when they wake
up or they unplug Neo from the system.
>> And that's what happens to everybody
here, right? Like it's like you unplug
somebody. Well, sh man, they're too old
to start learning this stuff, right?
They're like, "Oh, they're not they're
not used to this. What are you talking
about? The dollar is worthless. The
dollar's backed by gold."
What,
>> bro? We haven't been backed by gold
since 1971. WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?
So like
>> the dollar's backed by debt and you
start telling them that the Federal
Reserve is not a branch of the
government and then they what what are
you talking about?
>> People don't know there's Yeah, you're
right. Like people like the average
person doesn't understand like a lot how
like how this country functions. they
just understand how to open Tik Tok
>> and I guess that's
>> you know but like to the point you say
like I think it's
>> uh it's important to have I think that's
why it's good to have these type of
shows and like what we do and just over
broader like
>> you got to hit all angles not everyone's
going to be able to pallet
>> institutional talk and then it's like
kind of our jobs to like make that
palatable [laughter]
>> in a way but I have you this is like a
complete
the uh I want to talk about this because
it's on top of my mind and I've been
like sweating about it. I don't know if
you've obviously seen it and but the
prediction stuff that we dropped.
>> I think it's awesome.
>> Dude, I got the Epste I'm like no on the
Epstein files and I'm sweating right
now. I think at three they're about to
like like release them. But I I don't
know. Like I I never This is It's a
thrill ride. One, it's fun as hell, but
it's also cool like you can I I've come
from like traditional sports gambling.
Oh [ __ ] And then um one second. I'm
getting called now. I'm getting a live
call on the Gemini. I'm on my like
laptop. Hold up.
>> It's probably Olivia.
>> Wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't I'm on
stream. It's not Olivia. It's actually
um
it's it's Jay Dog. It's Jeremy.
I just dropped his name.
>> Shout out to Jay Dog.
>> Jay Dog Jeremy. Wait for it. Um he he
No, but so have you check So checked it
out. I'm on the like Epstein no side and
I'm an idiot. Listen, I literally did it
and I looked at Twitter five I'm not
checking Twitter. I got conviction on no
and I Twitter five minutes later.
>> All this info comes out. They're like,
"No, like it has to happen." Like the
Democrats start posting all about how
like I have to do it on the 19th.
There's no ifand or buts. All that. I'm
like, and I literally see I had 50 5050
shot. I'm down 70% on my on my um on my
order already because it's like I it's
gonna come out today.
>> But I think I think like prediction
markets are a new asset class within the
crypto ecosystem. Like for me that's
what I think. So
>> yeah, they're cool. Like I I think it's
what I've never touched them before.
It's my first time ever using it. I've
never touched I never used any of the
competitors that we have in this space
and this is my first time ever like
buying it. I think what's interesting is
like you say, it's kind of like an asset
and you could hold it and then you could
sell it. I like it long term. You don't
have to think about it like, oh yeah,
you could really play it and you could
get out. I could have got out
>> and cut my losses, but I'm an idiot. I
just thought like, you know what I mean?
Like once I had the information, I'm
riding it out. But
>> yeah,
>> it's cool. You can And then you're up
10%. You can get out. Like you can just
get out. There's no You're not like
sports gambling is so different. You're
locked in. Like
>> Yeah.
>> You're like stuck.
>> You you can't get out. you can't escape.
So, I think it's it's extremely
interesting. But honestly, I never cared
about the news as much, which I think is
another segue. It's like you see Sailor
come on. I got a little prediction
Bitcoin market play and I'm like, "Okay,
like I have faith again." [laughter]
>> You should have You should have went to
the prediction markets and like been on

started with a lot of hate. We'll
continue with some hate, but a lot of
haters converted to friends or
friendlies
and we're having a good time, right? Cuz

A lot of you guys don't know me through
a hole in the wall. And I understand,
but like I always do, I'll win you over.
We'll be back with a quote after this
commercial break
from Gemini. Before Bitcoin, you would
have bought bars of soap. You would have
bought anything. You would have bought
food. You would have bought bullets. You
would have bought guns. [music] Anything
tangible that you can self-custody, you
would have held. Now after Bitcoin,
Bitcoin is competing with gold. It's
competing with real estate. But that
being the case, the way I think about
Bitcoin is it's a digital monopoly on
capital. It's a world reserve capital
network.
I don't give a [ __ ] about your
short-term [music] prediction. The
ultimate goal is to get Bitcoin.

[applause]
[cheering]
[screaming]
Okay, I'm doing uh I'm doing the quote
of the day and this is a long one. Okay,
this a long quote of the day. So, hear
me out on this one.
Hear me out, okay? Just hear me out.
By the way, I just want to wish
everybody a happy holiday. Happy
holidays, by the way. Happy holidays. A
lot of the interviews that I have had
for this month, I had to reschedu for
next month just because due to the
holidays, obviously Hanukkah and
Christmas and Quanza. Uh again, I had to
reschedule a lot of things. So, um yeah,
we'll have a a huge lineup in January.
So, much respect to everybody.
[screaming]
[cheering]
Thank you everybody.
[applause] Really do appreciate it. But
here's the quote of the day. This is
going to be long. This is going to be
long. In the end, everything begins.
I didn't understand this at first
because it just sounds like something
you'd hear the main character say in a
movie. The kind of line that can slip by
you if you aren't paying close
attention. But then it hit me. It's
actually a map, a shift in perspective
that if followed can change your life.
We were taught to fear endings. end of a
year, end of a relationship, end of a
dream you worked hard for. We treat the
word end like it's a locked door. Like
once something is over, there's nothing
on the other side but loss. But that's
not how things But that's not how this
thing we call life actually works.
Nothing you ever entered your life
without something else closing first.
You have never grown without outgrowing
something else. You rarely learn without
first being wrong. You don't become who
you are without other versions of you
dying along the way. When something
ends, it doesn't erase the past. It
completes that cycle. And it and
completion is port is important because
it creates space for something better.
An ending isn't failure. It's just life
saying you've taken this as far as it
can go. So when you're in those moments
of completion, stop asking yourself why
did this happen and start asking
yourself what did this make possible?
Then step back and watch the magic that
happens next. Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you very much for [cheering]
tuning in. That that that quote
those long it hits. Um thank you very
much for tuning in. Thank you to Michael
Sailor. Thank you to his staff for
setting up the the conversation. I don't
want to call it an interview, the
conversation. Thank you for gemminia for
sponsoring the show. Thank you for all
the people out there, my entire audience
that has been following me since 2016 as
I started my journey in podcasting.
Thank you so much for staying on,
staying with me, believing in me. I
appreciate you very, very much. Okay, to
the new people tuning in that don't know
me yet, I promise you I will deliver
content that will make you laugh, cry,
and bring some value to your life. That
I can promise. Um, happy holidays to
all, by the way. Happy holidays to all.
I hope you guys take some time and chill
out with your families and just relax.
That's right. Because we can take a few
hours to breathe, go work out, go touch
some grass, do something, and then you
can get right back on it. Okay. I think
we're going to have a phenomenal quarter
one in 2026. I think it's going to be
electric. I am extremely bullish. Um,
stay patient. Patience is key. Patience
is key to winning. That's all I can say.
And on Bitcoin, regardless of what other
assets we all hold, when it comes to
Bitcoin, Bitcoin for me opened up my
eyes to what the world what the world
really looked like. That's what Bitcoin
did. It really opened up my eyes to the
world that we really live in, the
centralized world that, you know, they
talk about opportunities and all, but
they're not real opportunities. They're
they're they're not. And uh and I've
talked about that multiple times. So, I
would encourage everybody to just just
look into the beginning of this entire
ecosystem. Look into Bitcoin. Look into
everything. Study everything. Question
everything.
Make yourself better, man. That that
that that's it. And you know what?
There's enough room at the table for
everybody. There's no need to bicker
with people. You can go ahead and sit at
the same table and you can win together.
Biggest thing is that I hope that retail
wins. That's always been my biggest goal
is to make sure that retail wins.
No disrespect to the institutions that
have kept retail in a fog. But I I hope
retail comes out the winners here. I
really do. Anyway, once again, thank you
to everybody who participated. Thank you
to everybody who tuned in. I will see
you on Monday 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time. We got guests, we
got a few guests again, like I said, we
rescheduled for uh January, but we'll
end the year with with some people
coming in. So, and chatting it up. So,
