>> [cheering]

0:11:36

>> MICHAEL SAILOR HAS CHANGED, which is

0:11:36

crazy to say. This is really crazy to

0:11:39

say, but he's changed my perspective on

0:11:42

Bitcoin again.

0:11:45

again.

0:11:47

You guys already know I love Bitcoin,

0:11:55

but he has changed my perspective on

0:11:55

Bitcoin again. Again,

0:11:59

we'll talk about that though. Uh, we'll

0:12:02

try not to be boring. I'll try. I'm

0:12:05

smiling because you know, you're not

0:12:06

going to have a boring show. It'll be

0:12:08

pure entertainment. I'm sure Michael

0:12:11

will laugh out of it. But it's 12:03

0:12:14

p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It's Friday.

0:12:17

The markets are a bit up. Bitcoin's a

0:12:20

bit up. I I don't even I don't trust it

0:12:22

right now. I don't trust it.

0:12:25

Two days, the last two days, this going

0:12:28

into the third. Nope.

0:12:32

Nope.

0:12:34

It is what it is. [laughter] It I am not

I know what you're trying to do. I'm not

0:12:43

going to fall for it. I'll wait. I'll

0:12:46

wait and I'll DCA. As I wait, I I might

0:12:49

go ahead and throw a few bucks in DCA.

0:12:52

That That's You already know my

0:12:54

strategy. Spot, buy, DCA, hold,

0:12:58

and then sell when you feel it's right

0:13:01

to go ahead and unload. That's it.

0:13:03

Bottom line.

0:13:06

I'm not trying to make life too

0:13:07

difficult, man. I'm not chasing money. I

0:14:31

look at the total market cap. 2.97

0:14:34

trillion.

0:14:37

That's the total market cap

0:14:39

and that is from coin market cap by the

0:14:41

way just coin market cap $2.97 trillion.

0:14:45

We got Bitcoin at 87870.

0:14:49

Bitcoin ain't going to catch me again.

0:14:51

I'm waiting.

0:14:57

I'm waiting. You guys want to talk about

0:14:57

Bitcoin's going to 73,000 75

0:15:01

67? No problem. I'll wait. Buy more.

0:15:06

I don't care. I'm not in no rush. I'm

0:15:08

not trading.

0:15:11

I'm accumulating wealth. That's how I

0:15:13

look at it. I'm not trading. You guys

0:15:16

can go ahead and trade one minute

0:15:18

charts. Go ahead. Do your thing. And I

0:15:22

by all means, that's your day job. That

0:15:24

that's your job in general. You don't

0:15:26

feel like sleeping, we had Arthur Hayes

0:15:27

on. You don't feel like sleeping, you're

0:15:29

dedicated to the craft. God bless you,

0:15:31

man. leverage purpose. Oh, God bless

0:15:34

you. You do that. I'd like to have my

0:15:36

hair intact. I like to have my black

0:15:39

hair intact. I don't need to be chasing.

0:15:42

I'm not chasing an extra one or two,

0:15:45

three. I'm not in a hurry.

0:15:48

Ethereum's at 2974.

0:16:01

We got uh BNB at 8.48. We got XRP at

0:16:01

$189.

0:16:08

Salana's at 125. Man, Salana look rough

0:16:08

yesterday, man. Angle of front. It

0:16:10

looked rough.

0:16:12

It looked rough.

0:16:22

It look rough.

0:16:22

Tron is still at 27. Yep. 28 27 28. Tron

0:16:28

Tron doesn't move. That's a stable coin,

0:16:30

bro. That is a stable coin.

0:16:33

Uh, we got Doge also sitting at 13

0:16:36

cents. It is up 3% on the day. You got

0:16:38

Cardano at 37.

0:16:41

Man, I can keep going to this. Link is

0:16:43

up. It's up 12. It's up to $12.56. Chain

0:16:46

link. You know, I'm bullish on Chain

0:16:48

Link. I like Chain Link. You got Monero

0:16:49

is up.

0:16:51

Zcash is up 435. Zcash is almost up

0:16:55

almost 10%. 10% in the last 24 hours.

0:16:59

Not bad. But again, I don't trust

0:17:01

anything right now. I don't quarter one

0:17:07

quart. But that doesn't mean that I

0:17:08

won't buy. Like that that doesn't mean

0:17:10

that I'm not buying. Like that won't

0:17:13

that doesn't mean I'm not buying

0:17:14

Bitcoin. Like that doesn't mean I'm not

0:17:16

buying it. It just doesn't mean that I'm

0:17:18

not buying. I'm just saying I'm not I'm

0:17:20

not sold right now. I'm not sold.

0:17:23

Santa's rally has been one.

0:17:28

Santa's rally is broke. Okay. Santa's

0:17:32

giving out boxes full of nothing.

0:17:48

Santa's in on this, too. Santa was in on

0:17:48

October 10th, 2025. I believe Santa

0:17:52

Claus had something to do with what

0:17:55

happened on October 10th, 2025. I'm

0:17:58

telling you right now, MAN.

0:18:00

[cheering and applause]

0:18:09

>> I am telling you right now, I'm not I'm

0:18:09

not even playing. I'm not even playing.

0:18:11

I think Santa

0:18:13

[laughter]

0:18:14

had something to do with it.

0:18:17

Santa angle will play me. Santa had

0:18:19

something to do with it. Okay. Santa was

0:18:22

part of it.

0:18:24

100%.

0:18:42

But this is all about buying by the way.

0:18:42

This is all about buying

0:18:44

for me personally. You buy towards the

0:18:47

bottoms, right? You're not buying the

0:18:49

tops,

0:18:59

easy.

0:18:59

Like, if you've been here for a while,

0:19:01

this should be easy peasy for you.

0:19:03

Nothing should be like this market.

0:19:05

Well, uh, this market, by the way, if

0:19:08

the cycle ended today, this is the worst

0:19:10

cycle ever.

0:19:16

See how I'm going back and forth?

0:19:16

This cycle has made people a bit

0:19:21

bipolar

0:19:24

cuz like if the cycle ended today, this

0:19:25

is like the worst cycle ever. Like the

0:19:27

wor not for Bitcoiners, but like

0:19:29

everything else I mean

0:19:32

people like, "Oh, but this one ran and

0:19:33

that." Yeah. Yeah. It's like Bitcoin and

0:19:35

four other things ran. That's it.

0:19:38

Everything else did nothing. Zero.

0:19:40

Zilch. Not a

0:19:44

nada.

0:19:49

So I don't believe that the cycle is

0:19:49

over.

0:19:51

I I I I firmly stand

0:19:54

in the position of either

0:19:57

either we came early to the party or

0:20:06

there's no cycle.

0:20:09

That's it. It's e it's either or. It's

0:20:11

either or.

0:20:14

It is either or. I wanted to get

0:20:16

something up here. One. Give me just a

0:20:18

second, ladies and gentlemen. And then I

0:20:20

will go to the like, do y'all want to

0:20:22

call? I know a lot of people wanted to

0:20:24

call up. So, we'll do that also. So,

0:20:25

give me just a second. Live show. We're

0:20:28

doing live things. Give me a give me a a

0:20:31

sec here.

0:20:33

Give me a one second. Need to post

0:20:36

something up, man.

0:20:42

How can what? I tried to do this before,

0:20:45

Hold on. I tried to do this way before.

0:21:02

By the way, if my equipment goes out, I

0:21:02

give up. Like, I will absolutely give

0:21:05

up. I'll be like, "F this. I am out.

0:21:09

That's exactly what I'll say. Like, f

0:21:12

this. I'm out.

0:21:14

But, okay, markets mostly in the green

0:21:17

where we're like, we're hovering at that

0:21:19

$3 trillion mark in total market cap.

0:21:23

Tra I don't know. I don't know what

0:21:25

traders are having fun. I'll ask maybe I

0:21:27

should bring on a trader and ask them

0:21:28

like, are you actually having fun? I

0:21:31

know people in the meme economy are not

0:21:33

having fun. I know they're like, what

0:21:35

the hell is happening? Uh, all coiners

0:21:38

are also

0:21:39

>> before Bitcoin you would have bought.

0:21:41

>> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

0:21:43

no, no. Quarted in time. Quarted in

0:21:46

time. Yeah, I don't know, man. This

0:21:48

There you go. I'm back. I'm back. I'm

0:21:49

back. I'm back. I needed to upload

0:21:52

something.

0:21:54

But seriously, it's like, what is this?

0:21:57

What is this? What What What type of

0:21:59

cycle? I I didn't sign up for this [ __ ]

0:22:02

Like there has to be a bunch of people

0:22:05

that are like, "Yo, I did not sign up

0:22:07

for this. I did not sign up for this."

0:22:11

There ain't no way in hell I signed up

0:22:12

for this [ __ ]

0:22:20

Damn. Okay.

0:22:20

Sorry. I'm getting like text messages. I

0:22:22

I should turn my phone off. I should

0:22:24

really turn my phone off.

0:22:27

I'm like getting text messages all over

0:22:28

the place.

0:22:36

It's It's wild.

0:22:59

By the way, you can tune into the shows.

0:22:59

We're all over the place right now.

0:23:03

We're all over the place right now. Yo,

0:23:04

don't spam, guys. Don't spam in my chat.

0:23:08

Come on.

0:23:10

Come on. The hell is that? Spamming in

0:23:14

my chat. Anyway,

0:23:18

now that I got everything situated,

0:23:20

again, at the end of the day, for me,

0:23:24

I will continue buying.

0:23:27

I think if if if we're going to talk

0:23:29

about bottoms, well, I think we're close

0:23:31

to a bottom. Okay. I don't believe we're

0:23:35

going to $40,000.

0:23:40

Oh, I I really don't believe we're going

0:23:40

to $40,000

0:23:42

Bitcoin, but if we do, then I'll buy it.

0:23:47

Like, I don't I don't even understand

0:23:49

that mentality when people come on to

0:23:51

social media and they're like, "Oh, it's

0:23:52

going down. That's it. It's going to 40.

0:23:56

It's going to 40,000.

0:24:06

It's going to 40,000. So what? So what

0:24:06

if it goes to 40,000? So what? That

0:24:09

means that I get to buy it cheap.

0:24:13

Wait, you think you think it's over

0:24:15

with? You think because Bitcoin were to

0:24:17

go like hypothetically speaking, Bitcoin

0:24:19

would go down to $40,000, it would be

0:24:21

over?

0:24:23

Are you not watching what's happening?

0:24:26

Like how many times do I have to say

0:24:27

this? We are going digital.

0:24:37

We are going digital. The first thing

0:24:37

that people want to get their hands on

0:24:41

nation states, institutions, they want

0:24:44

to get their hands on Bitcoin.

0:24:53

The problem is a lot of you guys a lot

0:24:53

of you guys came here expecting to make

0:24:57

millions of dollars within three days. I

0:24:58

keep on saying this. You got the minute

0:25:01

rice mentality.

0:25:03

You You think like, oh, if it if it

0:25:05

didn't hit over if I didn't I signed up

0:25:08

for an ex account. I came on to Twitter.

0:25:11

I signed up for a Twitter account. Why

0:25:14

isn't Why am I not a millionaire yet?

0:25:22

That's the problem.

0:25:25

Nobody's taken the time to understand

0:25:28

what Bitcoin is or any digital assets

0:25:31

that you hold.

0:25:33

I can go ahead and talk about Bitcoin

0:25:36

forever, but we can talk about the rest

0:25:40

of the market.

0:25:42

You you guys haven't Have you even

0:25:43

looked and studied

0:25:47

and dived deeper

0:26:02

Do you understand? At some point, at

0:26:02

some point,

0:26:04

five years from now,

0:26:07

when Bitcoin is at $500,000 or $700,000,

0:26:12

you're going to be like, "Holy [ __ ]

0:26:16

I was like right here when it was at

0:26:26

You know what's funny with like human

0:26:26

psychology, right?

0:26:28

Bitcoin's at 88,02 right now. That's

0:26:32

expensive, right?

0:26:35

When Bitcoin goes to $500,000,

0:26:39

$88,200

0:26:40

will be cheap

0:26:47

and you will have a bunch of people

0:26:47

kicking themselves.

0:27:01

Why not frontr run the institutions?

0:27:01

Like front run these people? Get in. Get

0:27:05

in before everybody else gets in. Who

0:27:08

are you waiting for?

0:27:13

I I really don't get it. Like what's the

0:27:13

green light that you're waiting for?

0:27:20

Do you need somebody to tell you that

0:27:20

you can actually go in? Like you you

0:27:22

need somebody to tell you like you can

0:27:24

go in

0:27:32

if you need honestly if you need

0:27:32

somebody to tell you hey you know you

0:27:34

you can go into Bitcoin now you you

0:27:37

really are doing it wrong and I I

0:27:39

already know what your portfolio looks

0:27:41

like.

0:27:42

It looks like dog [ __ ] If you're

0:27:45

waiting for somebody

0:27:47

to help you cross the street,

0:27:50

you're in a bad position.

0:27:53

100% in a horrible, terrible position.

0:28:01

At some point, man, you got to recognize

0:28:01

these opportunities, man. At some point,

0:28:05

you don't got to buy a whole Bitcoin

0:28:06

right now.

0:28:09

You You literally do not have to buy a

0:28:11

whole Bitcoin right now. You could buy

0:28:13

$500 worth

0:28:17

a fraction at 500 a fraction at a,000

0:28:21

weekly.

0:28:27

If you don't want to go ahead and buy a

0:28:27

full Bitcoin,

0:28:30

the product,

0:28:46

0:37:59

Bitcoin.

0:38:01

>> He is futing Bitcoin. I'm telling you

0:38:03

right now, him and Santa Claus were the

0:38:06

reason why Bitcoin dropped the way it

0:38:07

did. [laughter] It was him and Santa.

0:38:12

>> The Santa rally. Don't tell me about no

0:38:14

Santa rallies no more.

0:38:16

>> Hold on one second. We got a caller

0:38:17

calling in.

0:38:19

What's going on? You're live on the

0:38:21

breakdown.

0:38:32

I mean, is it just is it me?

0:38:32

Landy, it might be

0:38:34

>> double Ron here. Can you hear me?

0:38:36

>> Ron, what's Oh [ __ ] Everything's going

0:38:39

>> Oh my [laughter] god.

0:38:40

>> This is crazy. YO, EVERYBODY. YO, WHAT

0:38:43

HAPPENED? SAILOR COME SAILOR'S COMING

0:38:45

ON. EVERYBODY EVERYBODY recognize the

0:38:47

breakdown or some [ __ ] What What is

0:38:49

going on?

0:38:50

>> I guess so. I guess so, man.

0:38:52

>> What's going on, Ron? I see you. I see

0:38:54

you hiking and stuff.

0:38:55

>> Stuff and I I've never seen this call in

0:38:57

feature, man. This is awesome.

0:39:00

Absolutely awesome.

0:39:02

>> Thank you, man. I appreciate it. I seen

0:39:04

pictures of you hiking, man. I see that

0:39:06

you're you're hiking. You're

0:39:08

>> you're staying active. You're going to

0:39:10

Mexican uh

0:39:11

>> every day, man. I'm doing I'm doing

0:39:13

every day, seven days a week.

0:39:15

>> All right. So, Ron, tell me what you

0:39:18

think about the markets right now. What

0:39:19

do you think specifically? Do you think

0:39:20

Landy was a part of uh what happened on

0:39:24

October 10th along with Santa?

0:39:28

>> Maybe. Yeah. Listen, October 10th was a

0:39:30

huge blow. I don't think I don't think

0:39:33

we realize kind of the damage it did

0:39:36

behind the scenes to some of the big

0:39:38

funds, to some of the big market makers.

0:39:41

I think I think there's I think there's

0:39:43

some big players teetering on the edge

0:39:46

of insolveny and they're just raping the

0:39:49

market every chance they get. You know,

0:39:51

they're grabbing every little crumb they

0:39:53

can. We see it. You know, 4,000 down

0:39:56

4,000. I think I think that's going to

0:39:59

take a little while to sort itself out.

0:40:01

I think there's other factors. I think

0:40:03

people aren't talking about China

0:40:05

dumping a lot of Bitcoin

0:40:08

and so I think there's a lot of factors

0:40:10

but you know what biggest thing is I

0:40:14

think we I think it's a blessing to us I

0:40:16

think we have maybe six months to a year

0:40:18

maybe a year and a half two years to

0:40:20

acquire Bitcoin. I didn't think we'd

0:40:23

have it at this point to be honest with

0:40:25

>> I also didn't. So I I'm looking at this

0:40:27

as a huge positive and I think you have

0:40:31

three to four months. I mean, for me,

0:40:33

that's me. That's my personal take.

0:40:34

Landi's probably going to say you have a

0:40:36

a good four to five years or some [ __ ]

0:40:39

But for me, in this range, I think we

0:40:40

have a good I'm I'm busting this shop

0:40:43

today, but I think we have a good 3 to

0:40:46

four months to go and um to go ahead and

0:40:50

uh accumulate some Bitcoin. I I know

0:40:52

when you we say like 78 or 85 whatever

0:40:56

that like that's that that's expensive

0:40:59

but to me it's cheap compared to where

0:41:02

where it's going.

0:41:10

>> Absolutely. Like listen I remember I was

0:41:10

begging people at $3,000 to buy it.

0:41:12

Right. I finally gave up. Right. Those I

0:41:15

had people bet me it would never hit

0:41:17

20,000 again. You know, and it and and

0:41:20

look at us now. And and and then what a

0:41:22

few years ago we sat at 26,000 for 6

0:41:25

months plus or minus a,000 bucks. We

0:41:28

were there for six months. No one would

0:41:29

listen, right? How cheap is that

0:41:31

compared to where we are now? It'll be

0:41:33

the same thing when we're 200 1 million.

0:41:36

You know, it's But I I'm I'm I'm telling

0:41:39

you, David, I'm feeling the most FOMO I

0:41:41

felt in five, six years. I got to get

0:41:44

more Bitcoin. What can I do to get more

0:41:46

Bitcoin? And uh I'm telling you, it's a

0:41:49

blessing. It's an opportunity and we

0:41:52

need to be hitting it as hard as we can.

0:41:54

>> Listen, I'm I'm about to start I'm about

0:41:58

to create an Only Fans page

0:42:00

>> because if that's what I need to do to

0:42:01

acquire more Bitcoin. [laughter] Hey,

0:42:04

I'm I'm a I'm going to register an Only

0:42:07

Fans uh feed finder. I know a lot of you

0:42:11

guys are freaks trying to look at my

0:42:12

feet, so you know, just do these things

0:42:15

to [laughter]

0:42:20

Yo, Ron,

0:42:20

>> I'm gonna touch base with you. Hold on.

0:42:21

There's so many people trying to call

0:42:23

up. It's crazy. Um,

0:42:25

>> good to hear Ron's voice.

0:42:26

>> But Ron, it's it's always a pleasure,

0:42:29

>> Cherish the downside.

0:42:31

>> Congratulations, man. You really stepped

0:42:33

it up over this last few weeks or few

0:42:36

months, whatever it is, man.

0:42:38

Congratulations. It's the time to do it.

0:42:40

Right now is the time. And I think next

0:42:42

year is going to be your best year ever

0:42:44

and all of our best year if we if we if

0:42:47

we lock in, man. That's what we need to

0:42:49

do. We need to lock in. So,

0:42:50

>> well, I'm [ __ ] back. Congratulations.

0:42:53

>> It's like John Wick, right? He retired

0:42:55

and then they, you know, something

0:42:57

happened to unretire his ass and that's

0:42:59

me right now.

0:43:00

>> I'm thinking I'm back. I'm thinking I'm

0:43:02

back,

0:43:03

>> man. I love it.

0:43:05

>> I appreciate the kind words, though.

0:43:06

>> You back. I I definitely appreciate I

0:43:09

appreciate you and I appreciate the kind

0:43:10

words 100%.

0:43:12

>> Uh you're you and and the show that you

0:43:14

have along with 305 like you guys are

0:43:17

are great and and I do appreciate you

0:43:19

guys.

0:43:21

>> Well, thank you, man. Looking forward to

0:43:23

the interview. I'm about to get me some

0:43:25

In-N-Out Burger and uh and sit down

0:43:28

still and be ready.

0:43:30

>> No doubt. Uh thank you very much and and

0:43:32

I appreciate you tuning in. We'll have

0:43:34

Michael Sailor on at 1:15

0:43:37

p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Um, we'll go

0:43:40

to charts right in the next 15 minutes

0:43:42

with Landy. Uh, Landy right now is

0:43:45

standing sitting here like he's Andy

0:43:47

Richtor, right? That was his name,

0:43:48

right? Andy Richtor from with Conan

0:43:50

O'Brien, I think. Yeah, you're that guy.

0:43:53

You're that guy. Okay.

0:43:55

>> Yep.

0:43:55

>> You're that guy.

0:43:57

>> The comic relief puppet.

0:43:59

>> The villain. You are the villain,

0:44:01

though.

0:44:02

>> You are the villain. You you want you

0:44:05

want this market to be like absolutely

0:44:07

disgusting.

0:44:08

>> No, no, no.

0:44:09

>> I believe that wholeheartedly. There's

0:44:11

nothing you can tell me.

0:44:12

>> Hey, look. I want the market to be low

0:44:17

right now so that people have

0:44:19

opportunity.

0:44:20

>> No, you don't. [laughter] Wait a minute.

0:44:23

What? What do you mean I don't? Hey, I'm

0:44:26

one of the few analysts out there that

0:44:28

have not called the top yet. Is the top

0:44:31

in. I just called a local top. I haven't

0:44:34

said it's a macro top. I haven't even

0:44:36

really opined. I've and they've

0:44:39

disagreed with my take and I have yet to

0:44:43

um say it's like cycle over or anything

0:44:46

like that. I'm of the opinion that um

0:44:49

any downside even from here or if it

0:44:52

goes up and then heads back down that

0:44:54

you should cherish the opportunity to

0:44:56

pick up cheaper sats.

0:44:59

That's it. Simple. I'm just going to

0:45:02

keep buying. I I I don't really care.

0:45:04

>> There's only so much. So, yes, keep

0:45:07

buying.

0:45:07

>> Just like just keep buying to get the

0:45:11

price, right? Like if the assets great,

0:45:14

like why

0:45:20

you got to look longterm, man. Like

0:45:20

honestly, like I I you know what it is?

0:45:22

Like I feel like I'm so repetitive every

0:45:24

day. Like don't you feel that way? Like

0:45:26

you become repetitive

0:45:28

>> after a while. is just like you're

0:45:30

saying the same thing. You're obviously

0:45:32

talking to a bunch of people that are

0:45:34

that are acting like they're walls,

0:45:36

right? Brick walls. Like just like do

0:45:39

not want to listen. But you know when

0:45:40

they'll listen? I I'll tell you when

0:45:41

they'll listen. They'll listen when when

0:45:43

when once Bitcoin hits like 500,000 a

0:45:46

million. That's when they'll have the oh

0:45:48

[ __ ] moment.

0:45:50

>> Mhm.

0:45:50

>> That that's when it'll happen. So like

0:45:53

listen, take this like right now.

0:45:58

you want to buy toward like I if this if

0:46:01

we're heading towards a bottom. Well, I

0:46:03

think we're closing in on a bottom. I I

0:46:06

can go any which way with this

0:46:08

conversation. So, why not take advantage

0:46:09

of it? Okay, let's say Bitcoin is

0:46:12

supposed to be let's say it's destined

0:46:13

for 67 hypothetically speaking and it's

0:46:16

at 80 what? 86 87 right now.

0:46:20

>> DCA all the way to 67. What's the

0:46:22

[ __ ] problem? What is the problem?

0:46:25

Why are you trying to catch the bottom?

0:46:27

And I I and respectfully, I am so tired

0:46:29

of hearing people, Landy, don't get

0:46:31

offended. I'm just tired of hearing

0:46:33

people

0:46:35

say that they called the exact number on

0:46:37

the bottom and the top. Like,

0:46:39

>> well,

0:46:40

>> bro, like then give me the [ __ ]

0:46:41

lottery numbers. Do me a favor.

0:46:44

>> I think

0:46:45

>> actually I think you guys should quit

0:46:47

and go and just play the lottery.

0:46:50

>> But it's not the lottery. Understanding

0:46:52

market mechanics and what's at play is

0:46:55

important to identifying opportunity,

0:46:58

right? You if you want to look, not

0:47:01

everybody should be a trader, right? In

0:47:03

fact, most shouldn't and most should

0:47:05

stay out of it. Um, but I have a

0:47:10

portfolio to hedge, right? So, when

0:47:13

price is rising, great. I'm not a seller

0:47:16

of Bitcoin. I'm a buyer of Bitcoin,

0:47:18

right? I would never tell anyone to sell

0:47:21

Bitcoin. In fact, I think that Bitcoin

0:47:23

is such a valuable asset and such a

0:47:25

valuable uh network that you should be

0:47:30

taking every opportunity to get as much

0:47:33

as you possibly can. So, when I'm

0:47:35

hedging to the downside or I say I'm

0:47:37

short, people take that as like, "Oh my

0:47:39

god, he he doesn't like Bitcoin anymore.

0:47:42

He sold or something like that or he's a

0:47:44

bad guy because he says price is going

0:47:46

to go down." No. If I say that guy

0:47:48

though, I don't I am the bad guy at this

0:47:50

moment. But when I'm when I'm short,

0:47:53

what am I doing? I'm I'm hedging against

0:47:56

my portfolio

0:47:58

and I am utilizing that to get more fiat

0:48:02

to trade back into Bitcoin.

0:48:04

And that's what um I think that's where

0:48:07

a lot of the misconception comes in uh

0:48:10

between myself and other people in the

0:48:13

Bitcoin sphere is that I'm willing to

0:48:16

trade it to get more Bitcoin and hedge

0:48:19

my portfolio. And that's a pretty

0:48:20

standard thing for traders to do. And

0:48:24

you know, um I think that any downside

0:48:28

price action should be cherished because

0:48:31

at some point Bitcoin will get its

0:48:33

expansion to the upside and it's going

0:48:36

to be a wild wild ride. Um once the

0:48:39

cohorts that um that that uh the

0:48:44

financial markets are trying to shake

0:48:45

out, one of those bigger co cohorts is

0:48:48

minors um because they're predictable in

0:48:51

the way that they sell. then they can uh

0:48:54

you know once that's done you're going

0:48:57

to see as the asset gets more

0:48:59

financialized more more buyers come in

0:49:02

price is going to going to go

0:49:04

exponentially higher because then it's

0:49:06

all about shaking out long-term holders

0:49:08

and the only way to do that is when

0:49:12

price is rising. You shake out

0:49:14

short-term holders to the downside. You

0:49:16

shake out long-term holders to the

0:49:18

upside. Right? And in this case, it's

0:49:21

been um it's been that way all the since

0:49:25

the bare market, right? All the way up

0:49:27

since the institutions got involved in a

0:49:29

big way from the spot ETF side of

0:49:30

things. So, you know, play the game. If

0:49:34

you're not going to play the game, just

0:49:35

have a plan for accumulation.

0:49:38

>> For sure. For sure. Guys, you can go

0:49:41

ahead and call in 347-6302399.

0:49:44

You are tuned in to the breakdown

0:49:46

episode 641 sponsored by Gemini shows

0:49:49

produced by Gox Media. I'm joined here

0:49:52

by Andy Richtor I mean Landy who is uh

0:49:55

shorting the market along with Santa

0:49:57

Claus. Right. The Santa rally. You're

0:50:00

going to get a lot of boxes full of

0:50:02

rocks in it. Okay.

0:50:05

>> I was about to go deep with this joke.

0:50:07

>> Wow.

0:50:10

>> I forgot I forgot that I'm on Tik Tok.

0:50:14

I'll take me off immediately.

0:50:15

>> Oh my god. They're going to they're

0:50:17

going to strike you.

0:50:17

>> I held up. I held [laughter] up.

0:50:21

I held up, man. Real quick. I was like,

0:50:24

"Shit, I'll get taken off." Uh, but

0:50:26

again, the phone number is 34763023.99.

0:50:29

If you just try to call, there was a

0:50:30

bunch of people calling in. My my

0:50:33

apologies. We had Ron on. Shout out to

0:50:35

Ron. Ron's been a longtime uh supporter.

0:50:38

Nice. You know, it's crazy, man. Like,

0:50:41

um, my DMs have filled up. I still

0:50:43

didn't get to everybody's DMs. I will

0:50:45

after the show. Obviously, again, uh

0:50:47

Sailor is coming on at 1:15 p.m. Eastern

0:50:49

Standard Time. Um

0:50:52

why did I hold it back? A lot of people

0:50:54

ask me why did I hold it back? Why

0:50:56

didn't I announce it a week, you know,

0:50:58

in advance or two weeks in advance? And

0:50:59

that's because like, you know what?

0:51:02

Y'all y'all have evil eyes. That's why

0:51:07

that's why I announced my guest like an

0:51:09

hour before this show. I always do that.

0:51:12

That's a superstition. That it really is

0:51:15

a superstition. And then we're going to

0:51:17

clip it up and we'll send it out all

0:51:18

over the place. But yeah, I'm I'm

0:51:20

definitely intrigued. Uh definitely

0:51:23

excited to have Michael on. I do want to

0:51:26

get his thoughts on Bitcoin. Um

0:51:30

I I know he sits through interviews and

0:51:32

he's consistently answering questions

0:51:33

about Bitcoin, but I have a few that I

0:51:36

don't know if he's answered before. So,

0:51:37

we shall see. Um, you know, we we shall

0:51:41

see. I I have I have I have some

0:51:44

questions, but I I will say that that

0:51:47

Sailor has again changed my perspective

0:51:50

on Bitcoin and and only I I guess only a

0:51:53

few people that are close to me would

0:51:54

understand that. Not that I wasn't

0:51:57

buying Bitcoin or holding Bitcoin. It

0:51:58

just see changed my perspective on it.

0:52:03

I should be cra like I don't know. I'll

0:52:05

explain it after the show. I'll explain

0:52:07

it after the show, but my perspective's

0:52:10

changed a little bit more so now. So,

0:52:13

>> I would hope so.

0:52:15

>> What do you mean you hope so?

0:52:17

>> I mean, for years, for years, little

0:52:20

puppets on the internet have been Well,

0:52:22

not necessarily puppets at the time, but

0:52:25

have been screaming about how you should

0:52:27

get as much Bitcoin as you possibly can

0:52:29

before the institutions get involved.

0:52:31

>> What? I was saying the same [ __ ] What

0:52:34

are you talking about? So then what did

0:52:36

he change about your perspective? Well,

0:52:38

you I'll wait till the end of the show.

0:52:40

>> He is so

0:52:42

laser focused on Bitcoin.

0:52:45

>> Mhm.

0:52:52

you can't convince him otherwise like

0:52:52

the the the conviction there is so

0:52:55

strong

0:52:58

>> because he understands the mechanics at

0:52:59

play.

0:53:03

just it's not it's you can appreciate

0:53:05

somebody whether you I don't care. I've

0:53:08

heard so many people say, "Oh, I think

0:53:11

Shift was on here." He's like, "Oh, he's

0:53:12

mental and stuff with the way he's

0:53:14

doing." Like, no. Like that's why I say

0:53:17

to Shift, well, you're mental about

0:53:19

gold, right?

0:53:21

Like your your conviction and goal is

0:53:23

like nobody can break it. So, like

0:53:26

seeing that, especially on a young

0:53:28

asset, particularly like Bitcoin is

0:53:29

still a young asset to see that it's

0:53:32

it's really cool. It really is. And and

0:53:34

and you can apply that kind of

0:53:37

conviction into daily life in general.

0:53:39

So, I don't know. It just gives me it

0:53:41

gave me a different perspective. And um

0:53:44

obviously with everything that's

0:53:46

happened in this market, you see like

0:53:47

Bitcoin's the only really let's keep it

0:53:50

let's keep it real 100%. Like it's

0:53:52

really the only thing that really ran

0:53:53

here. this cycle. I mean, I hate using

0:53:57

this word, but this cycle, it's been the

0:53:59

only thing that's ran.

0:54:01

>> Yeah.

0:54:01

>> And which I don't know, you you didn't

0:54:02

hear my rant. I went on to TikTok and I

0:54:04

ranted about the fact that I I don't

0:54:07

believe there's a lot of things there's

0:54:09

a lot of things that I'm looking at,

0:54:10

Landy, and I swear to God, I just I

0:54:12

don't know.

0:54:14

I might say things and people will

0:54:15

scratch their heads and say, I think

0:54:16

he's I think he's lost his mind. And

0:54:18

that's fine. But it's I'm entitled to my

0:54:20

opinion. And I'm entitled to think that

0:54:22

we came a year too early to the game. Uh

0:54:25

I'm entitled to think uh what we had

0:54:28

five six besides Bitcoin. We had five

0:54:30

six assets that broke alltime highs.

0:54:32

That's it.

0:54:33

>> Yeah. But they just they just made new

0:54:36

all-time highs. They didn't actually go

0:54:37

on a bull run. Right.

0:54:39

>> Correct.

0:54:40

>> So nothing happened.

0:54:41

>> Well, it's been a Bitcoin only market

0:54:43

right. Right. Now um in terms of upside

0:54:47

um obviously many that were here in the

0:54:50

bare market and accumulating have done

0:54:52

quite well right but the expectation was

0:54:55

is that everything else would move to

0:54:57

the upside while Bitcoin moved to the

0:54:59

upside as well and that just hasn't been

0:55:01

the case and that's [clears throat]

0:55:03

that's really thrown people for a a loop

0:55:08

here. they and and it's been reflected

0:55:11

on the timeline this entire time on the

0:55:14

way up while Bitcoin has been doing its

0:55:16

thing and you know volatility to the

0:55:19

upside has been fairly muted even for

0:55:22

Bitcoin versus prior cycles we've had

0:55:24

very long accumulation periods for

0:55:27

Bitcoin

0:55:28

uh during the draw downs uh we get you

0:55:31

know short stints to the upside that

0:55:33

that kick off in pretty aggressive

0:55:36

fashion and then we're right back into

0:55:37

consolidation

0:55:39

again. And you know, realistically,

0:55:42

um, and I've said this and I've been

0:55:45

consistent about it, is since the bare

0:55:47

market lows, like you just need to get

0:55:49

as much as you possibly can. And and

0:55:54

because the institutions are coming for

0:55:56

your Bitcoin, right? If you're a Bitcoin

0:55:58

holder, there's there's a few ways to

0:56:00

shake out Bitcoin holders because

0:56:02

there's long-term holders, short-term

0:56:04

holders, and then you have the cohorts

0:56:06

of [clears throat]

0:56:07

institutions, right? Institutional

0:56:09

buyers. Now, we have a new set of

0:56:12

institutional buyers, digital asset

0:56:14

treasuries, DATs. We have the um we have

0:56:19

now the ETFs, right? The spot ETFs. And

0:56:22

then we have, of course, exchanges. And

0:56:26

realistically, where are the bigger

0:56:27

pools of liquidity and how do you get

0:56:29

them to sell, right? To the downside,

0:56:32

you can shake out short-term holders. Um

0:56:35

to the upside, you start shaking out

0:56:38

long-term holders who want to realize

0:56:40

profits. Um then it's about the

0:56:43

exchanges. The miners is a big cohort.

0:56:45

They hold 1.8 million um Bitcoin in the

0:56:49

in the uh Bitcoin wallet in the minor

0:56:51

wallets.

0:56:53

And you know over time that's going to

0:56:56

keep decreasing

0:56:57

um [clears throat]

0:56:59

as emissions rates slow down. But you

0:57:02

know it it's the game is the movement of

0:57:05

Bitcoin to a lot of these bigger

0:57:07

institutional players. And if you're

0:57:09

here and paying attention, you want to

0:57:12

be in on getting as much Bitcoin as you

0:57:14

possibly can because at some point it

0:57:17

will just go straight up in a very

0:57:20

aggressive fashion on longer term time

0:57:22

frames. Right now it's just a an

0:57:25

accumulation phase in a broader context

0:57:28

like on a quarterly time frame and it

0:57:31

has been since last market cycle.

0:57:34

All you got to do is look at Bitcoin

0:57:36

versus gold, Bitcoin versus equities and

0:57:38

it's in a big old accumulation phase.

0:57:42

So, I say that if you think that um if

0:57:46

you think that we're going to keep

0:57:47

moving forward and that Bitcoin is

0:57:50

desirable by these bigger players, you

0:57:51

better get in now and you better cherish

0:57:55

the downside moves and have a plan to

0:57:57

accumulate them.

0:57:59

>> I I I would say that if you're not

0:58:01

accumulating Bitcoin, I think you don't

0:58:04

understand I really don't you don't

0:58:07

understand this market. That that that's

0:58:09

really it. But I'm not saying that you

0:58:11

can't participate in other stuff either.

0:58:13

Like that's not saying that you can't

0:58:14

pick up like Ethereum or XRP or um

0:58:19

>> I love picking up other coins to sell

0:58:21

for more Bitcoin.

0:58:22

>> That that's the whole thing. There are a

0:58:24

lot of people that understand. Okay, I

0:58:26

can get into Salana. Salana goes up.

0:58:29

Let's say like Salana I think is at 125.

0:58:31

If Salana goes back to its previous,

0:58:34

well, I can go ahead and double my money

0:58:35

and I can get myself more Bitcoin. I

0:58:38

mean that that's how a lot of people

0:58:39

think. That's how a lot of people trade.

0:58:41

Like they'll they'll go into the altcoin

0:58:44

market and say, "I can make, you know, I

0:58:45

can double my money here, triple my

0:58:47

money here, and then I'll go acquire

0:58:49

more Bitcoin." Same thing with the meme

0:58:51

economy. I mean, people are going into

0:58:54

memes and smart people are, you know,

0:58:57

doubling or god knows 10xing their money

0:59:00

and then, you know, they're they're

0:59:02

getting themselves Bitcoin.

0:59:04

>> Yeah. And that smart money knows how to

0:59:07

play this game, man.

0:59:08

>> On that point real quick,

0:59:09

>> smart money knows how to play. You and I

0:59:11

have talked about this quite a bit, but

0:59:13

because a lot of the money that is flown

0:59:15

in and when and I say flow in terms of

0:59:19

flows are coming from institutions into

0:59:22

Bitcoin, when profits are taken, it

0:59:26

we're not seeing a rotation into

0:59:28

altcoins where in prior cycles it was a

0:59:32

lot of profits taken through the

0:59:34

exchanges and then rotated into altcoins

0:59:36

and we'd get massive, you know, a

0:59:39

massive alt season. And in this case,

0:59:41

it's just been little mini alt seasons

0:59:43

because a lot of the a lot of the money

0:59:46

is is outside of the exchange system and

0:59:50

in these larger asset under management

0:59:53

plays. Um, and DATs are just an

0:59:56

accumulation, right? That's what they're

0:59:58

doing. I mean, we've seen a like a

1:00:01

couple that have distributed, but

1:00:02

they're just accumulating. And really,

1:00:04

it's about the trade

1:00:07

on the traditional market side for the

1:00:08

spot ETFs. And when those profits are

1:00:11

taken, they're rolled into traditional

1:00:13

market assets where in prior cycles,

1:00:16

we've seen a lot of those profits rotate

1:00:18

from Bitcoin

1:00:20

on those exchanges to, you know,

1:00:22

Ethereum and so on and so forth, right?

1:00:24

Causing, you know, a nice alt season.

1:00:26

And I think that Ethereum has to go on a

1:00:29

bull run above its all-time high and

1:00:31

actually take a leg up for a true alt

1:00:34

season to kick off. And I do think that

1:00:36

that will happen, but it's going to be

1:00:38

rotational from here on out. And that's

1:00:41

just a function of larger players being

1:00:43

in the game.

1:00:45

>> Appreciate you, Landy, as always. Um,

1:00:48

what do you think uh what do you think

1:00:50

Bitcoin is going to do by by the end of

1:00:52

this month? by the end of this month.

1:00:54

You know, if Bitcoin holds the low here,

1:00:56

I think that Bitcoin has a a good shot

1:00:59

of testing upside towards

1:01:02

it initial levels above this little

1:01:05

range that we have here. It'd be, you

1:01:06

know, 94 to 96, kind of $2,000 at a

1:01:09

time, 96 to 98, and then testing, you

1:01:12

know, 98 to like 101, possibly more. Um,

1:01:16

and that's if we see closes, you know,

1:01:19

continue to even if we see downside

1:01:21

price action, as long as we close above

1:01:23

that big uh low side around $80,000, I

1:01:27

think that um upside is the most likely

1:01:31

outcome in the near term uh coming into

1:01:34

the end of the month and early portion

1:01:36

of of uh January and then kind of go

1:01:39

from there.

1:01:46

Let's hope that Santa's rally is real.

1:01:46

Okay. Let's hope that Santa's rally

1:01:48

along with Landy don't ruin your

1:01:50

Christmas spirit.

1:01:51

>> Okay. [laughter]

1:01:53

Happy holidays to everybody. Happy

1:01:55

holidays to you, Landy. Okay.

1:01:57

>> Appreciate it.

1:01:58

>> I can't even believe I'm saying that to

1:01:59

you, but happy holidays, bro.

1:02:01

>> Well, much love, brother. I look forward

1:02:03

to uh to watching the interview with

1:02:05

Sailor here shortly.

1:02:06

>> Yeah. Me and Sailor just going to play

1:02:07

chess or something. I don't know.

1:02:09

>> [laughter]

1:02:10

>> Well, thanks for having me on, David.

1:02:12

1:02:18

1:02:21

1:02:22

>> If anybody wants to join the battle

1:02:24

1:02:26

let me know. All right. Appreciate you,

1:02:29

Landy. Really do.

1:02:30

>> Thanks, David. Take care.

1:02:33

>> That was Landy, folks. He's a good guy.

1:02:35

I'm just [ __ ] around with Landy. Me

1:02:37

and Landy, that's a bro right there.

1:02:41

[cheering]

1:02:46

I know Landy doesn't agree with half the

1:02:46

[ __ ] that comes out of my mouth, but I

1:02:48

don't agree with them either.

1:02:58

Guys, you can call in. You got five more

1:02:58

minutes left to call in. You guys can

1:02:59

call in at 347-6302399.

1:03:04

If you have a question you want me to

1:03:07

ask, I will I will ask one question from

1:03:10

the audience.

1:03:12

I'll ask one question from the audience

1:03:14

from all the social media platforms that

1:03:16

you guys are tuning in from. I will ask

1:03:18

one question to Michael Sailor from you

1:03:20

guys. As long as it's a normal question,

1:03:22

obviously, as long as the question's

1:03:24

normal, I'll go ahead and ask him. We'll

1:03:27

be uh I was about to say we'll be right

1:03:29

back, but I'm going to give it six

1:03:30

minutes. I'm going to give it six

1:03:32

minutes. Welcome to the breakdown

1:03:34

episode 641.

1:03:38

[cheering]

1:03:39

I got to stop looking at THE PHONE.

1:03:43

I got to stop looking at the phone. I

1:03:46

really do. Uh amazing. By the way,

1:03:48

again, once again, amazing conversation.

1:03:50

I had like two meetings this morning.

1:03:51

Amazing meetings. Um and then I was just

1:03:55

getting ready. I was getting ready for,

1:03:58

you know, like who really leads Bitcoin?

1:04:01

It's it's sailor, right? You know, it's

1:04:03

funny when you guys talk about key

1:04:04

opinion leaders, like Kos and

1:04:06

influencers. You want to know what a K

1:04:09

is? That's Michael Sailor. That's a key

1:04:11

opinion leader. That's a guy who walks

1:04:14

into a room

1:04:16

and people know, hey, I'm sitting next

1:04:18

to him because he's going to tell me

1:04:21

everything I need to know about Bitcoin.

1:04:23

That's your KO.

1:04:25

That's your K. Not what you guys call

1:04:28

Kos on here, okay? That is not That is

1:04:32

not These are not your K. Like I don't

1:04:35

know who gave these people the label of

1:04:42

What opinion are they leading you off a

1:04:42

cliff with? What what are we talking

1:04:44

about? Ladies and gentlemen,

1:04:46

I would never want to be called a a K.

1:04:51

When people call me that, I'm like ew.

1:04:55

not in this space. I maybe this space

1:04:57

has absolutely destroyed it. Maybe it's

1:05:02

destroyed it for me. I don't know. But

1:05:04

that's somebody that's a KO. Like that

1:05:06

sailor walks into a room, you have you

1:05:08

see it like everybody surrounds him.

1:05:11

Everybody wants to know what's going on

1:05:12

with Bitcoin, what's happening, what's

1:05:14

next. And he's just calm. He's just

1:05:17

really calm. He's calm. If you watch

1:05:21

most of his stuff, he's very calm.

1:05:24

I'mma definitely get the one-on-one uh

1:05:26

podcast with him and I'm definitely I

1:05:28

mean I seen his last podcast where like

1:05:30

he did it from his house and it's like

1:05:38

I can see like we and breaking down

1:05:38

Bitcoin and why bit anyway

1:05:42

anyway people are trying to call in and

1:05:44

they can't get through. So you know what

1:05:46

lines of lines are messed up. How about

1:05:48

that? Lines are messed up. Ron was the

1:05:51

only one that could get through today.

1:05:54

Anyway, we'll be right back after this

1:05:56

1:10:40

breakdown episode 641 sponsored by

Goxin media produces this show. My name

1:10:46

is David Goxin for those that don't

1:10:48

know. Welcome all from all my multiple

1:10:53

social media platforms. This is a

1:10:55

multistream. Some of the comments I

1:10:57

cannot see. Unfortunately, the only

1:10:59

comments that I can see are the ones

1:11:01

from Twitter and from uh YouTube. So, if

1:11:05

you want to go ahead and chime in and

1:11:07

throw your two cents in, you can go into

1:11:09

the chat. Uh but particularly on YouTube

1:11:13

and on X, we will be interviewing or I

1:11:17

will be interviewing uh Michael Sailor

1:11:19

at 1:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Uh

1:11:22

we will talk about Bitcoin. What else

1:11:23

are we going to talk about? Why not talk

1:11:25

about Bitcoin? and I want to get his

1:11:27

perspective on Bitcoin. Um, right now

1:11:31

the markets

1:11:32

the markets they look good. I mean, like

1:11:35

they look good, but I I still I still

1:11:38

don't I still don't trust it after the

1:11:41

last two days. I I don't I'm sorry.

1:11:43

Those $4,000 swings were crazy. Those

1:11:46

$4,000 swings were crazy.

1:11:53

What do you mean you don't hear

1:11:53

anything?

1:11:55

Yo, I you know what? I got to shut the

1:11:57

chat off. When people start saying that

1:11:58

they don't hear anything, I got to

1:12:00

really shut the chat off, man.

1:12:03

Some people Yeah. Yeah. Thanks a lot.

1:12:06

What What is happening, man? Why am I

1:12:08

listening to the chat? The chat is

1:12:10

purposely trying to go ahead

1:12:13

and mess around. Chat is literally

1:12:16

trying to mess around. Uh CNBC just came

1:12:19

out with Santa Claus rally. What is it

1:12:21

and will it occur this year?

1:12:25

I hope Santa rallies this thing to 100K.

1:12:29

I really hope Santa rallies us to 100K.

1:12:33

I really hope so.

1:12:37

Santa, I've been good, man. Santa, you

1:12:39

know what? We deserve it.

1:12:43

Do you know what it's like being in

1:12:45

crypto? Santa. Santa, do you know what

1:12:48

it's like being in crypto?

1:12:56

Social media is already toxic.

1:12:56

Now you add in crypto. Do you understand

1:12:58

what it's like being in crypto?

1:13:01

If you can make it in crypto, you can

1:13:03

make it anywhere. I'm telling you this

1:13:05

right now. That used to go for New York.

1:13:08

Like they used to they used they we well

1:13:10

we still say it for New Yorkers. If you

1:13:12

can make it in New York, you can make it

1:13:13

anywhere. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1:13:15

no, no. If you can make it in crypto,

1:13:17

you can make it anywhere.

1:13:23

With the stuff that we have to deal

1:13:23

with, the stuff we've dealt with for the

1:13:26

past four years,

1:13:35

Insanity.

1:13:35

And we're still here.

1:13:39

And we're still here. That's the amazing

1:13:42

part. We're still here.

1:13:44

We're still kicking.

1:13:47

For those who did not sell, for those

1:13:50

who refused to sell but continue to go

1:13:53

ahead and buy more, congratulations cuz

1:13:56

long-term we're going to win.

1:14:00

We're going to be a part of the

1:14:01

celebration.

1:14:12

So, it doesn't matter if Bitcoin were to

1:14:12

go from where is it at right now? 87,000

1:14:17

to 78,000. It wouldn't matter. If it

1:14:20

goes to 67, it goes to 40. It doesn't

1:14:22

matter.

1:14:27

It's already programmed. And I hate

1:14:27

using that word, but it is already

1:14:29

programmed.

1:14:32

It's programmed to go higher.

1:14:45

It's changed everything.

1:14:45

I say this all the time. I say this.

1:14:48

I've said this on spaces. I said this on

1:14:51

post on Twitter. I've said this on

1:14:53

Instagram. I've said this on Tik Tok, on

1:14:56

YouTube, on multiple podcasts, on

1:14:59

national TV. I've said that Bitcoin has

1:15:01

changed everything. It has. It's changed

1:15:05

everything for me. And that's not from a

1:15:07

monetary standpoint.

1:15:09

That's where you guys get it wrong. It's

1:15:11

not changed. Gains are great.

1:15:15

Gains are great. Do not get me wrong.

1:15:18

But it's changed everything. The outlook

1:15:23

what we used to believe in wasn't really

1:15:26

reality.

1:15:29

And that's the truth.

1:15:32

What we were taught, what we were told,

1:15:36

it was all [ __ ]

1:15:39

What we weren't taught,

1:16:00

They made sure not to go ahead

1:16:00

and invite us to the party.

1:16:03

The system made sure.

1:16:06

And that's why to me, Bitcoin is that

1:16:08

important.

1:16:10

I get it. Everybody's here for gains. I

1:16:13

understand that. I'm not I'm not stupid

1:16:14

to that.

1:16:17

But like I've said plenty of times for

1:16:18

years, like Bitcoin is it's more than

1:16:21

just gains.

1:16:28

It opens your eyes up to everything. It

1:16:28

really does. It unplugs you from the

1:16:29

system.

1:16:31

It's the truth.

1:16:39

You finally see value.

1:16:39

You finally understand what value is. I

1:16:41

mean, that's the best way to put it.

1:16:50

So they can say people like us are are

1:16:51

crazy, but let's see what they say in 5

1:16:53

to 10 years. That'll all change.

1:16:57

I believe that

1:17:00

at 5:15 Oh, excuse me. At 5:15, at 1:15

1:17:04

p.m. Eastern Standard Time, we will be

1:17:05

joined by Michael Sailor.

1:17:12

I am shutting down my phone. Stop

1:17:12

texting me.

1:17:15

Stop texting me, guys. Michael will be

1:17:18

on. I'll ask him a few questions. We'll

1:17:20

have we'll have a good conversation.

1:17:23

Hopefully, everybody who's tuned in and

1:17:25

I see the numbers and the staff's

1:17:27

telling me. Hopefully, you guys learn

1:17:29

something.

1:17:30

Hopefully, you guys will understand and

1:17:33

walk away

1:17:36

because there's a lot of you guys still

1:17:37

on the fence on Bitcoin. I still don't

1:17:39

understand why,

1:17:41

but hopefully you learned something.

1:17:45

We'll be right back after this

>> Welcome back to the show.

1:19:57

Well, uh we have um

1:20:01

we have the man, the myth, the legend,

1:20:04

uh in the green room. We will bring him

1:20:06

out in the next uh minute. But let's go

1:20:09

ahead and play this for those who are

1:20:11

unfamiliar, which I don't know how you

1:20:12

can be. Before Bitcoin, you would have

1:20:16

bought bars of soap. You would have

1:20:17

bought anything. You would have bought

1:20:19

food. You would have bought bullets. You

1:20:20

would have bought [music] guns. Anything

1:20:22

tangible that you can self-custody, you

1:20:25

would have held. Now after Bitcoin,

1:20:36

[music]

1:20:36

Bitcoin is competing with gold. It's

1:20:38

competing with real estate. But that

1:20:40

being the case, the way I think about

1:20:42

Bitcoin is it's a digital monopoly on

1:20:44

capital. It's the world reserve capital

1:20:46

Network.

1:20:48

[music]

1:20:49

>> I don't give a [ __ ] about your

1:20:51

short-term prediction. The ultimate goal

1:20:53

is to get Bitcoin.

1:20:55

>> [music]

1:21:03

>> All right, let's bring uh let's bring

1:21:03

Michael right in. Michael Sailor,

1:21:05

everybody joins us on the breakdown

1:21:07

episode 641. Hi, Michael. How's it

1:21:10

going?

1:21:11

>> Hey, awesome. Can you hear me? Okay,

1:21:13

>> I can hear you. It's perfect. I

1:21:15

appreciate you joining the show. Um I

1:21:18

was just I was trying to reply back to

1:21:20

somebody to let them know I see you in

1:21:22

the back here in the green room. Um,

1:21:25

the first thing I wanted to hit quick

1:21:27

with, uh, before we get into the markets

1:21:29

and Bitcoin is, uh, I just want to know

1:21:32

if you're next, okay, from the time you

1:21:34

turned around when Scotty made that

1:21:37

comment, uh, about him, uh, knowing who

1:21:41

Satoshi was in like 1996 or 1997

1:21:46

when you were on that panel with him,

1:21:53

>> what was your reaction?

1:21:53

>> [laughter]

1:21:54

>> You know, of course, the white paper

1:21:56

didn't come out till Halloween of 2008.

1:22:00

That's when Satoshi leaped on the

1:22:02

screen. So, uh I don't I don't like to

1:22:05

speculate what Satoshi was doing before

1:22:07

the white paper.

1:22:09

[laughter]

1:22:10

>> I've never seen you turn like I've

1:22:12

watched so many of your interviews. I've

1:22:13

never seen you turn so fast. Um but

1:22:16

again, I appreciate you coming on. Um

1:22:18

what's your take right now with

1:22:20

everything that's happening in the

1:22:21

markets?

1:22:23

I think the fundamentals are great this

1:22:25

year. It's it's pretty much the best

1:22:26

year we've had in the history of the

1:22:28

industry. Um, you know, universal

1:22:32

support from the banking establishment,

1:22:34

from the securities regulator, from the

1:22:35

commodities regulators. Uh, tokenization

1:22:39

of everything is coming. Bitcoin's been

1:22:41

embraced as digital gold. Uh, the banks

1:22:44

that we never thought would join are all

1:22:46

coming on board. They're going to start

1:22:48

to extend credit. They're going to start

1:22:49

to offer custody. So, so pretty much if

1:22:52

I had a wish list of of the top 12

1:22:54

things that I wanted, I got all of them

1:22:56

this year. I think that the price action

1:22:59

is choppy and sideways and and you know,

1:23:02

when you talk to people, they say the

1:23:03

market's really being driven in the near

1:23:05

term by the derivatives traders and you

1:23:08

know, the derivatives market, the

1:23:09

perpetuals is 5x bigger than the spot

1:23:12

market. And so if a guy wants to put a

1:23:14

billion dollars up and go 50x lever

1:23:17

short or 50x levered long, then that

1:23:20

trader controls the price for the day

1:23:22

because it's a lot of leverage and you

1:23:24

know it's a global market and 80 you

1:23:27

know people talk they they like to talk

1:23:29

about the corporations but at the end of

1:23:31

the day 85% of the Bitcoin is held by

1:23:34

not corporations. Nobody knows who owns

1:23:36

it. And those crypto native OGs, they're

1:23:39

using the crypto exchanges and crypto

1:23:42

derivatives to get liquidity. And so you

1:23:44

got $1.7 trillion dollar worth of people

1:23:47

with capital that could leverage it 10

1:23:49

or 20 to one. And they decide what

1:23:51

they're going to do, you know, above my

1:23:53

pay grade. I think at some point, you

1:23:57

know, the the general sentiment will

1:23:59

flip from being short to being long and

1:24:01

we'll have a face ripping rally north. I

1:24:04

just can't tell you when.

1:24:06

>> What made you change your mind about

1:24:08

Bitcoin? Like what was it? What when did

1:24:11

you have that moment where you were

1:24:13

like, you know what? This is this is it.

1:24:15

This is the asset.

1:24:16

>> You know, that was the during the COVID

1:24:18

lockdowns and there was a war on

1:24:19

currency. But I mean the analogy I give

1:24:21

you is if you had a $500 million real

1:24:24

estate portfolio in the middle of the

1:24:26

city and the mayor said there's been a

1:24:28

pandemic and so we've decided to lower

1:24:30

rents to zero forever on your building

1:24:32

for the public good. If you could sell

1:24:35

the $500 million of real estate and move

1:24:37

to a different city where you didn't

1:24:39

have to accept zero forever, you would

1:24:42

probably sell your real estate and you

1:24:44

would move to another place that you

1:24:46

thought was more capital friendly or or

1:24:48

more investor friendly. And in essence,

1:24:51

that's what happened in 2020, you know,

1:24:54

when they lowered, you know, pal said,

1:24:56

"I'm lowering interest rates to zero and

1:24:57

I'm keeping them there forever." So I'm

1:24:59

not I mean the famous quote is I'm not

1:25:02

even thinking about thinking about

1:25:03

raising interest rates until like the

1:25:05

year 2024. So if you know look if if I'm

1:25:09

your boss David and I said hey for the

1:25:11

good of the population we've decided to

1:25:13

lower your salary to zero for at least

1:25:15

the next four years but hope you keep

1:25:17

working for us. How long would you keep

1:25:20

working for me?

1:25:21

>> Yeah [clears throat] I think I'm

1:25:22

leaving.

1:25:23

>> Yeah. So, I mean, I think it was that

1:25:25

catalytic event where and and I'm we're

1:25:28

not the only people that experienced it.

1:25:30

A lot of people experience that kind of

1:25:32

economic shock and it was like, okay,

1:25:35

you you probably ought to just

1:25:36

reconsider all of your assumptions

1:25:39

about economics and life. And you know,

1:25:43

look, I mean, literally, if I go to

1:25:44

everybody in your company and I say,

1:25:45

"We're just going to cut your salary to

1:25:47

zero for the next five years." Wouldn't

1:25:49

you be shocked if they didn't do

1:25:52

something?

1:25:53

>> I'd be shocked if they stayed.

1:25:55

Absolutely shocked.

1:25:56

>> So that's kind of what we did. I had

1:25:58

$500 million and it all of a sudden

1:26:00

became worthless and getting debased and

1:26:03

you know at that point you decide maybe

1:26:05

you need to find a new profession.

1:26:09

>> At its core, what problem does Bitcoin

1:26:12

solve better than anything else we would

1:26:14

have ever created?

1:26:16

I think the the simplest metaphor is

1:26:18

digital gold and and gold for 3,000

1:26:21

years is just portable capital. You

1:26:24

know, it's it's, you know, I I want to

1:26:26

carry a bunch of wealth with me across a

1:26:28

border and I don't want to trust a

1:26:31

counterparty. So, a non-s sovereign

1:26:34

store of value. And uh you know, if I

1:26:36

had a genie and three wishes and I could

1:26:38

make gold better, my first wish would be

1:26:41

shrink the supply to 21 million coins

1:26:43

and make it illegal to make any more.

1:26:45

And my second wish is make it invisible

1:26:47

and teleportable and indestructible and

1:26:51

let me carry as much gold, you know, in

1:26:53

my pocket as I possibly can. And my

1:26:56

third wish would be make it programmable

1:26:58

so a billion AIs can tra tele teleport

1:27:01

it and transform it a million times a

1:27:03

minute so that I can put it on a you

1:27:06

know a billion computers and and have it

1:27:08

have it get traded back and forth 37,000

1:27:11

times while I'm sleeping right and I

1:27:13

would think digital gold as I just

1:27:16

described it's got to be better and more

1:27:17

valuable than physical gold and

1:27:19

especially in the 21st century when

1:27:22

you're looking at 10 billion computers

1:27:23

and 10 billion AIs and 10 billion mobile

1:27:26

devices. And you know, you're never

1:27:28

teleporting an ounce of gold on an

1:27:30

iPhone. So, I just think it's digital

1:27:33

gold. It's got to be 10x to 100x better

1:27:36

than gold

1:27:43

>> after everything you've seen, cycles,

1:27:43

criticism, adoption. What gives you the

1:27:45

strongest confidence that Bitcoin's role

1:27:47

is still expanding?

1:27:49

Well, because it is expanding because

1:27:51

the president of the United States has

1:27:52

embraced it because David Sax says it's

1:27:55

the world's dominant digital commodity

1:27:57

and asked that whether an issuer because

1:27:59

200 companies have started buying it

1:28:02

because the CFTC says commodities

1:28:05

exchanges can trade it in the US for the

1:28:07

first time and take it as collateral and

1:28:10

because the SEC acknowledges it because

1:28:12

the head of the Treasury acknowledges it

1:28:14

and every non-financial cabinet member

1:28:16

acknowledges it and everywhere in the

1:28:18

world people acknowledge it as digital

1:28:20

property except for Cuba and North Korea

1:28:24

and in Cuba and North Korea they throw

1:28:25

you in jail for owning a house you can't

1:28:28

own anything right I mean it's illegal

1:28:30

to own property so I think

1:28:33

>> global consensus has formed that Bitcoin

1:28:36

is digital property and that's never

1:28:38

been clearer today and when we got

1:28:41

involved it was a $150 billion network

1:28:45

and today it's a two trillion dollar

1:28:47

network and So if it's growing three

1:28:50

times faster than the S&P and if there's

1:28:53

hundreds of millions of people that

1:28:55

acknowledge it, you know, then I think

1:28:57

that that's pretty good indisha that

1:29:00

it's succeeding.

1:29:02

Welcome to the breakdown, by the way.

1:29:04

Episode 641, joined here by the legend

1:29:07

himself, Michael Sailor, who man, it

1:29:10

seems like you strategy just buys

1:29:13

Bitcoin every single week. like it's

1:29:15

just waiting for an announcement of how

1:29:17

much more Bitcoin that you guys acquire.

1:29:19

What is the percent that you're looking

1:29:21

for to in terms of to acquire in terms

1:29:24

of supply?

1:29:25

>> Well, we've acquired 90 times 90

1:29:27

different acquisitions over five years

1:29:29

and so I don't know 250 weeks in five

1:29:32

years and and we've done 90. So, not

1:29:35

quite every week, but but whatever we

1:29:37

could uh crack our piggy bank open and

1:29:40

find a bit of money and go buy, we do.

1:29:42

We bought a billion a week for the past

1:29:45

two weeks roughly. Um we're up to 3.2%

1:29:49

of the entire supply. It cost us $50

1:29:53

billion to get to 3.2%.

1:29:56

You know, I'm thinking that the next $50

1:29:59

billion won't get me 3.2. It'll probably

1:30:02

get me 1% or less. And I'm thinking if I

1:30:05

come up with a few hundred billion, I

1:30:07

might, you know, when what I've said is

1:30:11

is if we get to five% of the network,

1:30:14

Bitcoin is going to be a million a coin.

1:30:16

If I get to seven and a half% of the

1:30:18

network, it'll be 10 million a coin. So

1:30:20

think of it as I'm buying something

1:30:22

getting exponentially more expensive

1:30:24

using exponentially more money. And

1:30:27

where where do we top out? You know, I I

1:30:30

think we top out between five and seven

1:30:32

and a half percent. And then we just

1:30:34

exponentially slow down, right? And the

1:30:37

rest of the network is right now it's,

1:30:40

you know, a after a hundred billion

1:30:43

dollars of money from Black Rockck and

1:30:45

50 billion from us, 85% of the Bitcoin

1:30:47

is held by the OGs.

1:30:49

>> Exactly.

1:30:49

>> After the next trillion dollars from the

1:30:52

big institutions, maybe it'll be 75%

1:30:55

will be held [laughter] by the OGs. So,

1:30:57

it's think of us as powering the network

1:30:59

up and we're pushing against an

1:31:02

exponentially hardening

1:31:05

asset. And that's the way it should be.

1:31:07

Look, 95%

1:31:09

of the Bitcoin's been mined. By the year

1:31:11

2035, 99%

1:31:14

that last 1% of Bitcoin comes out

1:31:17

between the year 2035 and the year 2140.

1:31:19

It's a hundred years to get the last 1%.

1:31:23

And so we we look at it like that and we

1:31:26

will just be like the little engine that

1:31:28

could we will keep you know turning the

1:31:32

crank powering the network you know

1:31:35

driving up the network value for

1:31:38

everybody and uh and you know I think

1:31:42

that you can do that at least for the

1:31:44

next hundred years. I don't know what

1:31:45

happens after 100 years. I haven't

1:31:46

worked that out yet. That the AI version

1:31:49

of me will be will be giving interviews

1:31:51

in a hundred years about what we're

1:31:52

doing next, but that won't be me.

1:31:55

>> I'm sure you're working on that. Um

1:31:58

>> have uh when Black Rockck and you speak

1:32:02

of Black Rockck, Black Rockck now

1:32:04

Vanguard has come out have has stated,

1:32:06

hey, we're opening up business to our

1:32:08

clients. Bank of America came out said,

1:32:11

you know, um that at least 4% of your uh

1:32:15

portfolio should be allocated to crypto.

1:32:18

Um did they reach out to you in any way

1:32:21

like before any of these?

1:32:22

>> Oh yeah, I met I meet with all these

1:32:24

banks. I I went and met with the CEO of

1:32:28

Bank of America. I've been a client of

1:32:30

Bank of America for 30 years and I

1:32:32

pointed out that, you know, this is a

1:32:34

great opportunity for the bank and they

1:32:36

were missing it by, you know, having a

1:32:38

very very vague ambiguous, you know,

1:32:41

anti-crypto policy and maybe he should

1:32:44

intervene and he did. And so, yeah, I

1:32:48

from what I can see JP Morgan is is uh

1:32:52

progressing their stance to be pro-

1:32:54

crypto, pro Bitcoin. You can see that

1:32:57

Bank of America, Wells Fargo, BNY Melon,

1:33:00

PNC Bank, um Morgan Stanley, you know,

1:33:06

all all the City City has announced

1:33:08

they're going to custody and then uh uh

1:33:11

Charles Schwab and uh Texas Capital has

1:33:14

been a really big pro uh Bitcoin

1:33:17

supporter as well. So I I would say 80%

1:33:20

of the major banks in the US have

1:33:22

flipped to being very progressive in

1:33:25

this stance. And the ones that were kind

1:33:28

of anti or very conservative even like

1:33:30

like Vanguard is not a bank but you know

1:33:32

they were kind of anti and now they're

1:33:34

moving to neutral. You know most you

1:33:37

know what I say everybody's against

1:33:38

Bitcoin before they're for it. Including

1:33:41

me, right? Including me.

1:33:43

>> That's why I asked you that question

1:33:44

earlier. What made you, you know, change

1:33:47

your mind on it? It was just like, what

1:33:48

made it that asset for you?

1:33:50

>> You know, uh, John D. Rockefeller was

1:33:53

big into racing horses. He had horse and

1:33:55

carriage races, but he got insanely rich

1:33:58

off of the automobile.

1:34:00

>> And so, it's like, you know, everyone

1:34:01

that bought an automobile was in favor

1:34:03

of horses and horse and buggies before

1:34:05

they saw the automobile work. And so, I

1:34:08

think uh, everybody's against it until

1:34:11

they see it work. But and it takes a you

1:34:13

know it takes a certain amount of data

1:34:14

and a certain amount of time. But I mean

1:34:16

at this point you can see you know the

1:34:19

the rhetoric and the language everywhere

1:34:21

in the world. And five years ago it was

1:34:24

I don't know if it's going to work. And

1:34:25

then it was like well it sounds too good

1:34:26

to be true. And then it's like well

1:34:27

maybe the government will take it away

1:34:29

from you. And it's like well I guess

1:34:30

they were not going to take it away from

1:34:31

you. Oops. I guess I guess we can all

1:34:34

get rich and live happily ever after if

1:34:36

we embrace this technology. And I will

1:34:38

note it's 30 years from the point that

1:34:41

we had a that electricity started

1:34:43

commercialized before it was common in

1:34:46

buildings. That was a 30-year

1:34:48

transition. So most technologies, the

1:34:51

automobile, electricity, whatever. Yeah.

1:34:54

You know, we we had good nuclear power

1:34:55

in 1973 and then in n in 2021 after the

1:34:59

lockdowns, all the power companies I

1:35:01

spoke to were going to shut down all the

1:35:03

nuclear power plants in this nation. So

1:35:06

that was a 50-year struggle and then all

1:35:08

of a sudden we had our chat GPT moment

1:35:10

and people thought wow these AIs work

1:35:12

and they want electricity. we got to

1:35:14

feed them electricity. And nuclear

1:35:16

became cool in this country and in the

1:35:18

world again because we realized, you

1:35:21

know, you don't have nuclear power, you

1:35:23

don't have uh AI, and then you're just

1:35:25

going to be slow and stupid. And uh you

1:35:28

know what I say is you put electricity

1:35:30

into a into a GPU data center, you're

1:35:33

not slow and stupid, you know, and you

1:35:35

put electricity into a Bitcoin miner and

1:35:38

you're not going to be weak and poor,

1:35:40

right? So I think that the world is just

1:35:42

evolving. I think everybody would like

1:35:44

to be um strong and rich,

1:35:47

quick and smart and uh and and you know

1:35:52

all the haters of AI, you know, at the

1:35:55

point that you actually start talking to

1:35:57

it and it does the work of a hundred

1:35:58

people in like five minutes, you're you

1:36:01

get the religion. You're like, "Okay, I

1:36:03

guess this isn't like a a gimmick thing

1:36:05

anymore. I guess this is real." And and

1:36:08

I think the society

1:36:10

they're rotating right to embrace, you

1:36:12

know, it's digital assets. Is it better

1:36:15

to move money at the speed of light and

1:36:16

do everything's a million times faster,

1:36:18

smarter, and quicker? Yeah. No. Well,

1:36:21

two, three years ago, people thought no.

1:36:23

But now people think, yeah, like maybe

1:36:25

we do. You know, the DTC, they custody

1:36:28

all the securities in the world.

1:36:30

>> CEO gets on on the internet, records a

1:36:33

video, and says, "Hey, we're going to

1:36:34

tokenize all the securities on the DTC."

1:36:37

Well, that happened fast. You know, that

1:36:39

took one election, a speech by the head

1:36:42

of the SEC, and now the person that

1:36:44

custodies literally all the publicly

1:36:47

traded securities in the country, maybe

1:36:49

in the world, says, "Yeah, of course

1:36:51

we're going to tokenize this." You know,

1:36:53

so that that I think you're seeing that

1:36:56

with digital currency. Of course, we're

1:36:58

going to have tokenized dollars, digital

1:37:00

securities, digital exchanges. Yeah, of

1:37:02

course we want to trade 24/7, 365.

1:37:05

digital capital. Yeah, of course we want

1:37:07

to put our money in cyerspace. Why

1:37:09

wouldn't I? Why wouldn't I want to be

1:37:10

able to put my money in cyerspace and

1:37:12

move it move it at the speed of light

1:37:13

and put it on a computer? I asked the

1:37:15

AI. The AI said it's a good idea.

1:37:18

[laughter]

1:37:19

I think that's where we are right now. I

1:37:20

I I think the world is rationalizing and

1:37:23

and it's healing and and we're, you

1:37:25

know, there's always the countries like

1:37:27

they're afraid, we don't want you to

1:37:29

have AI, it might give you the answer.

1:37:31

We don't want you to have digital

1:37:32

technology. It might work too well.

1:37:34

people might, you know, who doesn't want

1:37:35

you to move your money at the speed of

1:37:37

light? Uh, well, countries that have

1:37:39

laws against moving money, you know,

1:37:42

it's like people that don't want you to

1:37:44

own things or move things or afraid of

1:37:47

technology that let you do things. But,

1:37:50

as I've said before, you know, the

1:37:51

Japanese and the Chinese thought that

1:37:53

munitions and explosives were cheating

1:37:55

in war, and they outlawed them, and that

1:37:57

didn't work very well for them.

1:37:59

[laughter]

1:38:00

Eventually the warers showed up with

1:38:02

with with battleships and guns and

1:38:05

explosives and then the Japanese changed

1:38:08

their policy and the Chinese changed

1:38:09

their policy and I think digital assets

1:38:12

and digital intelligence ultimately you

1:38:15

can't use it without quoting that it's

1:38:17

the future. It's just a you know to

1:38:19

paraphrase William Gibson he said you

1:38:21

know the future's already with us it's

1:38:23

just not evenly distributed.

1:38:25

So what what we have is stuff getting

1:38:27

distributed, you know, in its own, you

1:38:30

know, human way.

1:38:32

>> So I'm getting that you're bullish on

1:38:37

>> I'm very bullish. Pretty clear the cars

1:38:39

are going to drive themselves. The

1:38:40

robots are going to do all the work. You

1:38:42

know, when I have a question, I go and I

1:38:44

ask the AI. I tell it to grind away. It

1:38:46

does the work of a 100red lawyers and a

1:38:48

100 bankers and 100 financers in 10

1:38:50

minutes. Then I then I tell it to do

1:38:52

redo the work and I get like uh 300 man

1:38:55

years of work in like half an hour.

1:38:58

And that's just me. In fact, um we've

1:39:01

issued eight billion dollars worth of

1:39:04

digital credit this year. And the most

1:39:05

successful IPO of the year was Stretch.

1:39:07

It's STRC. It was $2.5 billion. I

1:39:11

couldn't have done any of it without AI.

1:39:13

If if we had not had AI, we would be

1:39:16

eight billion dollars less. We five

1:39:19

IPOs, none of them would have happened

1:39:21

because I use the AI

1:39:23

to design the securities and solve all

1:39:26

the tax problems and all the securities

1:39:28

law issues,

1:39:30

you know. So, I like I'm a big believer

1:39:32

in using AI to design new things. And I

1:39:35

look, I'm just I I focus upon digital

1:39:38

credit and securities, but there's

1:39:40

someone there thinking about how to make

1:39:41

the car drive and cure cancer and like

1:39:45

like aren't there like a hundred million

1:39:46

problems the human race has to solve

1:39:48

that we've that you're like, well,

1:39:50

you're going to need a thousand people

1:39:52

with PhDs to solve that. Well, guess

1:39:54

what? Now every 16-year-old has a

1:39:57

thousand PhDs at their fingertips. And

1:39:59

so I'm very bullish. The world's going

1:40:02

to be a much better place. and and we're

1:40:05

going to see an age of empowerment and

1:40:08

abundance because of digital technology.

1:40:12

>> When people mention quantum computing

1:40:15

and Bitcoin,

1:40:17

what are your thoughts on that?

1:40:19

>> I think most people promoting it, they

1:40:21

just want to raise money, their VC, and

1:40:23

they want you to fund their VC startup,

1:40:25

their quantum startup, their computer

1:40:27

startup. And so it's kind of like when I

1:40:29

tell you that the you know the the ocean

1:40:32

is going to flood Miami and then I ask

1:40:33

you for10 billion dollars to do

1:40:35

something like there's an economic

1:40:38

motive. What do I think? I think that at

1:40:40

some point if there is a quantum threat

1:40:43

you know then the world will form

1:40:44

consensus. Uh the US government and

1:40:47

Apple and Amazon and Facebook and Google

1:40:49

everybody will upgrade all of their

1:40:50

software libraries and cryp encryption

1:40:53

libraries. And when that happens, you'll

1:40:55

know because everybody on Earth will be

1:40:58

doing it. And I think this I think

1:40:59

Bitcoin's just a software network. So I

1:41:02

think that um we will upgrade the

1:41:04

software. You know, people with their

1:41:06

private keys, if they need to, they'll

1:41:08

just reenrypt their wallet or or they

1:41:11

will they will use the upgraded uh

1:41:13

quantum resistance software to secure

1:41:15

the network. The network will get more

1:41:17

secure. Maybe we'll find out that 6

1:41:19

million Bitcoin have been lost forever.

1:41:21

The dead people, they won't upgrade. and

1:41:23

the loss Bitcoin will get frozen or or

1:41:26

just frozen out of the network. It'll be

1:41:29

a massive deflationary event. Uh the

1:41:31

price of Bitcoin will increase, the

1:41:33

security of Bitcoin will increase. It'll

1:41:35

be good for the world. It'll be good for

1:41:37

Bitcoin, right? I'm I'm an optimist. I

1:41:39

tend to think smart people that put

1:41:42

their money in a bank when when it's

1:41:44

time to upgrade the software to protect

1:41:46

their money, they'll probably upgrade

1:41:48

the software to protect their money

1:41:49

because everybody likes their money.

1:41:51

It's like I don't think it'll be

1:41:52

controversial. I think the controversy

1:41:55

is I send you an email at midnight and I

1:41:58

say, "David, you know Dr. Evil's got a

1:42:01

quantum computer and he's going to hack

1:42:02

all your accounts. So, please click on

1:42:04

this link and upgrade to quantum

1:42:06

resistance software immediately. Right

1:42:08

now, don't even think. Do it now.

1:42:09

quickly quickly quickly give me click on

1:42:11

the link and and by the way type in your

1:42:13

password you know and and and use your

1:42:16

multifactor authentication device so

1:42:18

that we can you know upgrade your wallet

1:42:21

to quantum resistant and you're smiling

1:42:23

because you know that's a fishing

1:42:24

attack.

1:42:25

>> Yeah.

1:42:26

>> Like when I when I panic you I'm just

1:42:29

engaging in a fishing attack to steal

1:42:31

your money. So I don't think there's any

1:42:33

debate that at some point the software

1:42:35

and the hardware gets upgraded. This is

1:42:37

not a surprise to anybody. everything on

1:42:39

Earth gets upgraded. I think that the

1:42:41

debate is is should we panic,

1:42:44

you know, should we panic now? And if

1:42:47

you you remember the Hitchhiker's Guide

1:42:49

to the Galaxy.

1:42:50

>> Yeah, of course. Yeah.

1:42:51

>> What's on the back cover? The two words

1:42:54

most important two words in the in the

1:42:56

universe. Don't panic.

1:42:58

>> Exactly.

1:42:59

>> So, we'll be fine. We're all going to be

1:43:01

just good. And there'll be a hundred

1:43:04

things, challenges. 90 of them will

1:43:07

never materialize. 10 of them will smart

1:43:09

people will upgrade to deal with the

1:43:11

threat. What you got to keep in mind

1:43:13

with Bitcoin is it's an economic

1:43:16

protocol, right? The the asset operates

1:43:19

on a network that's based on a protocol

1:43:21

that's rooted in an ideology and the

1:43:23

ideology is property rights and

1:43:25

integrity and and and engineering

1:43:29

soundness. So the protocol itself is

1:43:33

going to live on just like the English

1:43:35

language. Just Arab Arabic math is

1:43:37

thousand years old. We've been using it.

1:43:39

The English language we've been using

1:43:41

for hundreds maybe a thousand years. It

1:43:43

by the way English evolves. Arabic math

1:43:46

not so much. They all were the best

1:43:48

protocol. The the smart rich powerful

1:43:50

people chose it. The smart rich powerful

1:43:53

people will have chosen Bitcoin. That's

1:43:56

where all the money is. And over time

1:43:59

when there's a threat, you're just gonna

1:44:01

upgrade your hardware, upgrade your

1:44:03

software, and keep the protocol. And and

1:44:05

so I I I wouldn't panic and I wouldn't

1:44:07

let people like, you know, fudge you off

1:44:11

your center because because the odds are

1:44:13

always higher that uh you're going to do

1:44:17

something stupid because you're in a

1:44:18

hurry. And and and that's why I think

1:44:21

you should be calm and methodic about

1:44:23

these things.

1:44:24

>> Patience. Patience. Um, Senator Lumis is

1:44:29

trying, she stated that in 2026,

1:44:33

um, that she's hopeful that there won't

1:44:35

be any, I guess, uh, cap gains tax or I

1:44:40

forgot what she said. Uh, but I'm going

1:44:42

to power she will try to take taxes off

1:44:46

of Bitcoin. What are your thoughts on

1:44:47

that? You think it happens?

1:44:49

>> It's all above my pay grade, David. That

1:44:51

would be determined in DC. [laughter]

1:44:54

So, I I couldn't speculate. I think that

1:44:58

um I think the exciting thing going on

1:45:00

in DC in 2026 is going to be the Clarity

1:45:03

Act. And I think that uh there seems to

1:45:05

be bipartisan consensus that we we

1:45:08

should get a Clarity Act. It'll be good

1:45:09

for the industry. I think it will be

1:45:11

good for the industry. I can't say

1:45:12

what'll be in the final version of it. I

1:45:15

>> think matters Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin

1:45:19

is digital capital, right? So all of the

1:45:22

critical questions have already been

1:45:24

settled for Bitcoin. I think it's

1:45:26

there's a lot of questions with regard

1:45:27

to digital currencies, digital

1:45:29

securities, digital tokens, capital

1:45:31

formation

1:45:32

that will need to be settled and and

1:45:34

we'll see, you know, how that all works

1:45:37

itself out.

1:45:38

>> You think you think it happens quickly

1:45:40

though? You think they'll pass the

1:45:41

Clarity Act quickly

1:45:43

>> or do you think they'll have to wait,

1:45:45

you know, for the midterms?

1:45:46

>> I think they'll be discussing it for the

1:45:48

first half of the year. I mean, it could

1:45:50

take to Q2. I I would be shocked if it

1:45:52

takes longer than the end of Q2, but but

1:45:55

like I'm not going to, you know, go on

1:45:58

Poly Market and bet that it's done by

1:46:00

January 30th, right?

1:46:03

>> Um I had a question from uh Bitcoiners.

1:46:06

They they wanted me to ask you

1:46:09

>> um Mike, what do you what do you think

1:46:11

about Bitcoin ordinals?

1:46:13

Do you think it helps Bitcoin?

1:46:17

>> Yeah. Um That's a very controversial

1:46:20

topic. Uh [laughter] my my view is um we

1:46:25

should avoid

1:46:27

avoid making upgrades or changes to the

1:46:30

protocol to chase after features

1:46:33

um because fundamentally bit Bitcoin's

1:46:37

uh very stable protocol is is the

1:46:40

feature. the fact that it changed very

1:46:42

slowly and it changes only um only due

1:46:47

to overarching consensus whe when when

1:46:50

there's overwhelming consensus that we

1:46:54

need to make a change or an upgrade to

1:46:56

the protocol then I think it makes sense

1:46:58

but until there is overwhelming

1:47:00

consensus I think we should be very

1:47:02

conservative with the protocol with

1:47:05

regard to ordinals a lot of they came

1:47:07

about because of uh you know

1:47:10

capabilities ities from Taproot and from

1:47:12

other upgrades that were made. My

1:47:14

general view is you should be able to

1:47:16

use the network as long as you don't as

1:47:19

long as you're not lobbying to change

1:47:21

the protocol or change the functionality

1:47:24

of the network. And if people use it use

1:47:26

Bitcoin in a certain way like for

1:47:28

security or for you know or for burning

1:47:32

a certain message or something uh it's

1:47:34

their right to do it. I I just think

1:47:37

that um ultimately the the real

1:47:41

fundamental value of the network clearly

1:47:43

is uh monetary integrity, right? That's

1:47:46

the fundamental value. So I guess what

1:47:49

I'd say is I wouldn't lobby to censor

1:47:51

them, but nor would I lobby to change

1:47:54

the protocol to make it easier for them.

1:47:57

I'm very conservative

1:47:59

>> that I you know I I just think that uh

1:48:02

like there like there's one I won't

1:48:04

mention it but there's one that's on uh

1:48:07

there's one ordinal out there. I think

1:48:09

it does bring uh I think it does bring

1:48:11

more people to Bitcoin. The younger

1:48:13

generation I think it brings more big

1:48:14

people to Bitcoin and I think that's

1:48:16

that's pretty cool. But I agree with

1:48:18

you. Let's let's not change anything

1:48:20

because the way it is I think it's it's

1:48:21

totally fine. Um

1:48:23

>> the market sorts this out, right? Like

1:48:25

everybody's got their own view of what

1:48:27

Bitcoin is. Like like what I'm doing is

1:48:29

is I'm selling billions of dollars of

1:48:31

digital credit and I'm taking the money

1:48:33

and I'm buying Bitcoin. Okay, that's my

1:48:35

application to Bitcoin. Some people

1:48:37

don't like that. Some people wouldn't do

1:48:39

that. That's their choice. If we fail in

1:48:42

the market, we won't raise any more

1:48:43

money. if you come up with another idea

1:48:45

like you know if your bank's going to

1:48:47

some people don't want banks to custody

1:48:49

Bitcoin and issue credit on Bitcoin but

1:48:52

you know it's like at the end of the day

1:48:54

some people don't want governments to

1:48:55

buy it some people don't want companies

1:48:57

to buy it some people don't want anybody

1:48:58

with more money than them to buy it

1:49:00

right some people don't like the ETFs

1:49:02

>> right my view is um the network is going

1:49:06

to be most successful if we were

1:49:08

inclusive and if if our message is uh

1:49:12

hundreds of governments, tens of

1:49:14

thousands of banks, millions of

1:49:16

corporations, and billions of families,

1:49:19

and billions of people. They're all able

1:49:21

to use Bitcoin however they wish. Let

1:49:24

them do it. The winners will win, right?

1:49:28

The bad ideas will lose. The market, you

1:49:31

know, the network will evolve and and uh

1:49:35

and I just I'm I'm not a big fan of big

1:49:38

protocol. I don't want to have protocol

1:49:41

bloat where like people are like, well,

1:49:43

we have to add this feature and this

1:49:44

feature and this feature and this

1:49:45

feature and this feature. I'm not in

1:49:47

favor of that. But once you've got a

1:49:49

stable network, uh I'm in favor of a

1:49:53

market economy where let the marketplace

1:49:56

decide right how you know what what is

1:49:59

the best use of capital. It's like an

1:50:01

Austrian economics thing like you want

1:50:04

to you want to start a business with

1:50:05

your money and I think it's a stupid

1:50:07

idea. Well, you do it and if you're

1:50:10

right, you'll make a lot of money and if

1:50:11

you're wrong, you'll lose your money and

1:50:13

the market solves it. But it's not I I

1:50:15

shouldn't be telling you how to spend

1:50:17

your money or dictating. I I'm not I'm

1:50:20

not in favor of central planning. I'm

1:50:23

not in favor of uh you know, [sighs]

1:50:25

cap, you know, capital controls, market

1:50:27

controls, top down, you know, author

1:50:30

authoritarian

1:50:31

dictation. And uh I think the bottom up

1:50:34

approach, the organic approach is best

1:50:37

with these things.

1:50:39

Last question because I know you're a

1:50:40

busy guy and I appreciate you taking the

1:50:42

time for coming on to this show. Really

1:50:44

do. Um

1:50:47

I I I'm sure this is a common question,

1:50:52

a million dollar Bitcoin,

1:50:55

if you had a guess when, you know,

1:50:57

Bitcoin hits $1 million per coin, when

1:51:00

do you see that happen?

1:51:01

>> Sometime between four and eight years

1:51:03

from now.

1:51:05

In the four to eight year time frame.

1:51:07

You know, I can't tell you I don't I

1:51:10

can't tell you what date, but it feels

1:51:12

to me, you know, my forecast is,

1:51:15

>> you know, Bitcoin will continually

1:51:17

decelerate from it's right now 45 AR R

1:51:20

45. It'll decelerate over 20 years till

1:51:23

it's like 20 V, 20 ARR. And so if you

1:51:26

crank in that number with a bit of

1:51:29

volatility, it's like it's you would

1:51:31

think that sometime in the four to eight

1:51:32

year time frame, you'll get there. We'll

1:51:36

Well, you know, uh, for me, and I and I

1:51:39

always say this, maybe at first it's

1:51:41

gains or whatnot, but Bitcoin, uh, for

1:51:44

me personally is a lot bigger than just

1:51:47

just that, just gains. It's it opened my

1:51:50

eyes up to everything when I was

1:51:52

introduced to it. It just opened my eyes

1:51:54

up to the system and how, you know, like

1:51:57

the dollar is really not worth anything.

1:51:59

Uh, again, that's that's my opinion. Um,

1:52:02

and I saw what the centralized world was

1:52:06

and uh, you know, and I believe The

1:52:07

Matrix was uh, a documentary and not a

1:52:10

movie. So, at the end of the day, I'm

1:52:12

glad that I was unplugged and and I get

1:52:14

to see um, this side and and I like the

1:52:17

fact that we're going digital and uh,

1:52:19

you know, Bitcoin's leading the way. So,

1:52:21

that's pretty cool. And seeing nation

1:52:22

states participating and getting into

1:52:25

Bitcoin, seeing the entire world

1:52:27

embracing it is pretty cool. It's pretty

1:52:29

cool. Especially when, you know, years

1:52:32

back, you I would talk about Bitcoin and

1:52:33

and people would just make fun of me in

1:52:35

my previous career and say, "Look at

1:52:38

look at the Bitcoin king over there

1:52:39

walking around and I'm like, "You're

1:52:41

missing out." And they would just

1:52:43

completely absolutely destroy me with

1:52:46

comments. But you look at it now,

1:52:47

they're the same people calling up and

1:52:49

saying, "How do we get in?" So that's uh

1:52:51

it's pretty cool to go ahead and stand

1:52:54

on, as I say, stand on business and uh

1:52:56

stand on your conviction. I I think the

1:53:00

you know the the most important idea is

1:53:02

for the first time in human history

1:53:06

you can bind economic energy tightly to

1:53:09

the individual. Right? It's it's so so

1:53:12

that's a profound idea. It's an

1:53:14

ethically sound, economically sound,

1:53:17

technically sound protocol to propagate

1:53:22

property rights or propagate economic

1:53:25

empowerment to 8 billion people. And not

1:53:28

just the individual, every family, every

1:53:29

individual, every company and every

1:53:31

bank. And if you if you look at all the

1:53:35

what the misery in the world, it's the

1:53:38

fact that you know banks never had a

1:53:41

sound protocol to store capital. Nor did

1:53:43

a company, nor did a family, nor did a

1:53:45

country, nor did an individual. Nobody

1:53:48

did. It's like it's like imagine the

1:53:51

human race if we didn't have math and we

1:53:53

couldn't actually add numbers up and

1:53:55

then someone came along and said here's

1:53:57

math and now we can add numbers up and

1:53:59

we can actually calculate you know how

1:54:01

to make the bridge not collapse. I mean

1:54:03

[snorts]

1:54:04

it it it basically is this singularity

1:54:07

where where economics goes from being an

1:54:09

art to a science and uh and you said it

1:54:13

opens your eyes. It's like, yeah, it

1:54:15

opened your eyes because you realize

1:54:16

that there's actually a right way to do

1:54:19

this like like there's a fair and

1:54:21

equitable,

1:54:23

truthful way to work through economic

1:54:26

calculations and and once that happens,

1:54:30

you know, it's like, you know, one thing

1:54:32

leads to another and you question the

1:54:34

premises of, you know, what what's the

1:54:36

best thing for the nation, what's the

1:54:38

best thing for the bank, what's the best

1:54:39

thing for the family, what's the best

1:54:40

way to capitalize a company, how should

1:54:42

you think about credit, how should you

1:54:43

think money, how should you think about,

1:54:46

you know, empowerment? It's you really

1:54:49

question everything, right? It opens

1:54:51

Pandora's box up.

1:54:53

>> And of course, since there's billions of

1:54:55

people, there's billions of conclusions.

1:54:57

Everybody comes to their own sets of

1:54:59

conclusions. But

1:55:01

>> but you know, it really is like fire.

1:55:06

You know, Prometheus, you know, it's

1:55:07

like, okay, you've got this Prometheian

1:55:10

idea. fire. I give you fire and you're

1:55:12

like, "Wait, I don't have to shiver and

1:55:14

freeze to death in the dark."

1:55:17

>> And and if you think about like that

1:55:19

little spark, that little fire and then

1:55:21

how that ripples to the automobile and

1:55:24

the airplane and the heater and the how

1:55:26

many, you know, everything gets

1:55:29

rethought and so Bitcoin is like

1:55:31

economic fire and you know, I say it's

1:55:33

like Satoshi lit a fire in cyerspace.

1:55:36

you started this chain reaction and it's

1:55:39

a viral chain reaction and once you've

1:55:42

seen it, you can't unsee it. And I I

1:55:44

think that joins us together. I'm I'm

1:55:47

grateful to be on the journey with you,

1:55:48

David.

1:55:50

>> I'm grateful that you're out there just

1:55:53

leading the way. Honestly, I really am.

1:55:55

So, if they ever mention a K, you are it

1:55:59

key opinion leader on this very topic. I

1:56:02

I I really I I really do appreciate you

1:56:04

for that and and I appreciate that you

1:56:07

came on to the show and hopefully we can

1:56:09

definitely sit down for a one-on-one

1:56:11

podcast and really talk more about

1:56:13

Bitcoin and the monetary system because

1:56:15

I think it's super important. 100% very

1:56:18

important.

1:56:19

>> I will look forward to it.

1:56:20

>> Thank you so much, Michael. I hope you

1:56:22

have a great day. Guys, ladies and

2:00:20

Um yeah, that was um that was great. At

2:00:21

least for me. That was that was great

2:00:23

having uh Michael Sailor on

2:00:26

and just listening to him talk about

2:00:29

Bitcoin.

2:00:30

Uh even going into AI. Um yeah, it was

2:00:34

it was a good conversation. I'm going to

2:00:36

replay it back

2:00:38

because obviously I'm living I I'm in

2:00:41

the moment. So I'm just in the moment.

2:00:43

You guys are sitting back. you're

2:00:44

watching

2:00:47

and I I'm just thinking as you know I'm

2:00:50

just I'm thinking about the things that

2:00:52

he's saying and and I'm trying you know

2:00:55

again a lot of thoughts were going

2:00:57

through my head as um as he was

2:01:01

responding to the questions. Uh, and I

2:01:03

appreciate that he came on obviously and

2:01:06

uh, hopefully we do that one-on-one

2:01:08

interview live and um, we dive deeper

2:01:13

into Bitcoin, crypto and and just the

2:01:16

monetary system because I think it's

2:01:18

really important. So,

2:01:20

um yeah, I I um

2:01:34

yeah, I I I don't even know what to say

2:01:34

to be honest with you. I I really don't

2:01:36

know what to say. That's the goat.

2:01:44

That is the like to me because I'm in

2:01:44

I'm a Bitcoiner

2:01:48

I'm not gonna cry. What are you talking

2:01:50

about? But to me that's like that's the

2:01:52

goat when it comes to like Bitcoin,

2:01:55

right? Because

2:01:57

conviction is a big thing. Conviction is

2:02:00

a super big thing in life. It's big. And

2:02:03

like this man is just you you can

2:02:06

obviously tell he's he's very educated.

2:02:09

He's smart. He's He knows Bitcoin inside

2:02:14

This is not somebody who's throwing

2:02:15

millions of dollars at an asset that he

2:02:18

has absolutely no clue about.

2:02:29

So it's like I'm not the only mental

2:02:29

case out here. Like that's that's yo.

2:02:32

One of one of the things I was thinking

2:02:34

was like I'm not the only person.

2:02:37

And I'm sure a lot of you guys were

2:02:39

like, "Shit, shoot. I'm not I'm not the

2:02:41

only person either." And it was one of

2:02:43

those like,

2:02:46

you know, we could never to, oh my god,

2:02:48

I'm going to say something and

2:02:49

everybody's going to take it the wrong

2:02:50

way, but don't you wish we could talk to

2:02:53

Satoshi Nakamoto, right? Like, don't you

2:02:55

wish we can even talk to Hal? I wish I

2:02:57

could have interviewed Hal Finny, right?

2:03:00

Like, you kind of think of it that way.

2:03:03

And then you have well well I've always

2:03:06

said that we need somebody to represent

2:03:08

for Bitcoin, right? I've always stated

2:03:12

that we needed to have somebody who can

2:03:16

be out there and be the voice for

2:03:18

Bitcoin and to articulate it correctly

2:03:21

so people understand, so people have a

2:03:24

chance to get in, not wait.

2:03:29

That's him.

2:03:32

Whether you like them or not, I don't

2:03:34

care. People don't like me, I don't

2:03:37

care. But as long as the message gets

2:03:39

across, that's all that matters.

2:03:56

I had so many questions to ask. I had so

2:03:56

I had like 30 questions in my head and

2:03:59

I'm going through a selection of

2:04:00

questions and I'm like which one would

2:04:03

be right? But he's

2:04:07

the way he's breaking down Bitcoin. The

2:04:09

way he goes about thinking

2:04:12

and breaking things down. It's like I

2:04:15

had to adjust every second

2:04:18

to what Oh, wait. Hold on. Let me hit

2:04:19

him with this. No, no, let me let me go.

2:04:21

No, that's what was happening the entire

2:04:24

time. plus analyzing everything that he

2:04:26

was saying. So,

2:04:28

let's bring in Landy. Land's joined us.

2:04:31

Landy now here. He's Oh god, the puppets

2:04:35

here. What's going on, Landy?

2:04:37

>> Hey, great interview.

2:04:39

>> Thank you. I appreciate it.

2:04:41

>> Yeah, look, I mean, Sailor is the best

2:04:45

pitch man for Bitcoin. He

2:04:49

understands how to explain it to not

2:04:53

just normal people but to some of the

2:04:56

largest investors in the world. Right?

2:04:59

when you say he's the goat, he is the

2:05:01

goat, right? He's he has perfected the

2:05:05

art of explaining Bitcoin,

2:05:08

something that we've

2:05:11

been trying to do for many years. he

2:05:14

quickly

2:05:16

studied it and then was able to turn

2:05:19

around and

2:05:22

um explain it in a clear and

2:05:24

understandable way to many people. So,

2:05:27

look, shout out to him and um and shout

2:05:30

out to you for getting him on. It was a

2:05:32

great interview. I really enjoyed it. I

2:05:33

I actually liked um that he that he did

2:05:36

drift into the AI AI topic. So, it's

2:05:39

something I'd like to go back and and

2:05:41

rewatch as well because, you know,

2:05:44

there's a lot of wisdom in what he said.

2:05:46

He's got a very unique position in these

2:05:49

markets and he's got a very unique view

2:05:52

of where things are going and although

2:05:55

there might be detractors out there and

2:05:57

there's plenty, right? Um, I think that

2:06:01

he's on the right path and what he's

2:06:03

built, uh, thus far,

2:06:06

um, I think will continue to endure and

2:06:09

I think it's going to surprise a lot of

2:06:11

people. I know that there's a lot of

2:06:12

people that are not in [snorts] that

2:06:14

camp. Um, he knows that and I think

2:06:17

that, uh, what's going to end up

2:06:18

happening in the end is that they will

2:06:20

be proven wrong and he will be proven

2:06:21

right because Bitcoin is the way.

2:06:30

Uh, I I have to replay the show.

2:06:30

>> Oh, I imagine. Yeah. I mean, I have to

2:06:32

go back and watch it again, too. Um,

2:06:34

he's really good. You know, I really had

2:06:37

like I had 30 to 40 questions

2:06:40

like in my head where like I'm not

2:06:42

saying I was going to ask him 30 to 40

2:06:43

questions, but I had 30 to 40

2:06:46

lined up to where like okay I but

2:06:51

he he is absolutely like it's not only

2:06:54

is like you said he's he's really good

2:06:56

at selling but I I think

2:07:00

I think if you listen to the program

2:07:02

today I don't know how you can't buy

2:07:04

Bitcoin.

2:07:09

Yeah. Well, I don't know how people

2:07:09

weren't buying Bitcoin before, but

2:07:11

that's just me.

2:07:13

>> Or at least not at least not think about

2:07:15

it now and say, "Okay, hold on. Hold on.

2:07:19

Let me let this made sense." You know,

2:07:23

it was kind of like this made sense.

2:07:25

Like there were mo if you got nothing

2:07:28

out of this conversation, then there is

2:07:30

no help for you. Like I I 100% I believe

2:07:33

there is absolutely no help for you if

2:07:35

you got nothing out of that that

2:07:36

interview.

2:07:43

>> Lendy has switched to what? I've been a

2:07:43

puppet the entire time. Um

2:07:46

[snorts] yeah, it it's

2:07:49

it's hard when listening to him. I I

2:07:53

mean I also come from from this as a

2:07:56

with a Bitcoin first mentality um in

2:07:59

markets in general, but it's hard not to

2:08:01

listen to him and not get excited about

2:08:03

Bitcoin, right? So um thought it was a

2:08:07

great conversation. He's got a lot of

2:08:09

insight into what's happening in

2:08:11

obviously the banking system um and kind

2:08:15

of where things are headed in the

2:08:16

future.

2:08:20

look, the way that they've been playing

2:08:22

the game um as a company, his company

2:08:25

has been playing the game in a very

2:08:28

unique way that has surprised the

2:08:31

markets. So, I would expect them to

2:08:34

continue to do so. And uh I appreciated

2:08:38

that you didn't rehash a bunch of

2:08:39

questions that I've seen across his

2:08:41

various interviews. Yeah.

2:08:45

>> Yeah. I I wasn't that that was my whole

2:08:47

thing when I when I looked at all the

2:08:48

interviews that Michael Sailor did. I

2:08:50

was just trying to figure out what

2:08:53

hasn't been asked,

2:08:55

you know? Just like obviously I'm going

2:08:57

to have to ask about Bitcoin and but

2:08:59

like how how can we have a conversation

2:09:02

where like some of these topics weren't

2:09:05

touched on? And I think like I don't

2:09:08

know right now I I have to replay the

2:09:09

show, but like throughout the show I

2:09:11

felt like at least half of the time I

2:09:15

felt like he was he said a few things

2:09:17

that I I didn't see on previous

2:09:19

podcasts. Respectfully, I I'm not saying

2:09:21

that those shows were bad. I'm just

2:09:22

saying in general like I didn't hear him

2:09:24

before. That's all.

2:09:25

>> Yeah. Yeah. I mean it's um

2:09:29

you know he he does answer a lot of the

2:09:32

same questions, right? especially on

2:09:34

mainstream media, they always have the

2:09:36

same basic questions. So, it's good to

2:09:39

to see him in an environment where he's

2:09:43

got the freedom to kind of take the time

2:09:45

to talk through things. And I'm

2:09:48

interested if you can get him back on um

2:09:50

for a a podcast sit down podcast

2:09:53

interview like that would be

2:09:55

>> I think the podcast is going to happen.

2:09:58

Yeah, that's going to be really

2:09:59

interesting because reviewing kind of uh

2:10:01

once you get a chance to review your

2:10:03

thoughts um

2:10:04

>> there's some things I think that that um

2:10:08

the audience I'm sure you even myself

2:10:10

would like to to see um kind of explored

2:10:14

in terms of topics and

2:10:17

>> and I like I'm telling you like I had so

2:10:19

many question like look like you don't

2:10:21

you don't you don't not just in my head

2:10:23

but like I had questions already written

2:10:26

out man like the the Scotty thing.

2:10:30

>> Hey, you got him to laugh right off the

2:10:32

bat. So, there you go.

2:10:33

>> I just like No, but I I just wanted to

2:10:35

make sure that it like his neck

2:10:36

recovered.

2:10:37

>> Yeah. Well, man, that meme is amazing.

2:10:41

I'm sorry. I I use that quite often. So,

2:10:44

it is a pretty amazing meme. I mean,

2:10:46

>> Scotty's sitting there saying that and

2:10:48

then he goes,

2:10:50

[laughter]

2:10:51

>> "Well, now

2:10:53

>> now you have to get Scotty Pippen on and

2:10:56

you got to ask him all about Satoshi.

2:10:58

Let him let him drop all the deets. Come

2:11:01

on, Scott.

2:11:01

>> Maybe we'll bring Scotty on."

2:11:03

>> Yeah, get him.

2:11:06

>> You know, one thing about me is I'm very

2:11:08

transparent. So, I had one person uh

2:11:10

send me a message and say, "You look

2:11:11

starruck."

2:11:14

>> Yeah. Yeah, a little bit. The gold is

2:11:17

on. At least for me.

2:11:20

I mean, you don't have to think he's you

2:11:22

don't have to have the same or share the

2:11:24

same opinion as me, but like to me

2:11:25

that's some being that I you know, I

2:11:28

talk about Bitcoin all the time, right?

2:11:29

like to see. I'm sitting here with

2:11:32

Michael Sailor who has bet on himself

2:11:34

and bet on Bitcoin and nobody can tell

2:11:37

him otherwise that this thing is going

2:11:41

to succeed and it's going to hit the

2:11:44

numbers that he's putting out there.

2:11:46

Nobody can tell him otherwise.

2:11:48

>> Yeah.

2:11:49

>> And he just said like he was on here and

2:11:51

he said the 12 things that he wanted to

2:11:53

get done it got done. So he's happy,

2:11:55

right?

2:11:55

>> Mhm.

2:11:56

>> So I don't know, man. Yeah, at first.

2:12:01

Yeah, first

2:12:04

that's fine, but the the the nerves they

2:12:07

leave within a minute or two. Don't

2:12:08

worry about it. I I'm quick to recover.

2:12:12

[snorts]

2:12:13

>> Russell brings up a good point. I I

2:12:15

thought it his his take on ordinals was

2:12:18

interesting to hear as well. Um,

2:12:20

>> yeah. I I had to ask him about the

2:12:21

ordinals thing because like it's been

2:12:23

brought up

2:12:25

>> and somebody project still going. So

2:12:29

that that's still something internal

2:12:31

that they're utilizing. So,

2:12:34

>> you know, it's it's something I know

2:12:36

that is a hot topic in the Bitcoin

2:12:38

community. Um, there's very very very

2:12:44

um hot takes on both sides of that when

2:12:47

it comes to the network side of things.

2:12:49

Yeah,

2:12:50

>> but from the Bitcoin holding side of

2:12:54

things, I think it's um it's more about

2:12:58

utilization of the network and how it's

2:12:59

utilized going forward. And I thought

2:13:02

that his take on it was very

2:13:04

interesting. So, it's something that

2:13:08

will remain a hot topic going forward,

2:13:10

though.

2:13:15

>> Landy,

2:13:15

you know, I appreciate you.

2:13:18

Appreciate you too, brother.

2:13:20

>> Everybody follow Landy, man.

2:13:24

Definitely appreciate you, Landy. And

2:13:25

I'll definitely uh obviously give you a

2:13:27

call after the show.

2:13:29

>> Yeah, for sure. Well, I just wanted to

2:13:31

jump on and say great show, great

2:13:32

interview, and uh appreciate you.

2:13:35

>> Don't lie to me. Tell me it was shitty.

2:13:37

Go ahead, tell me.

2:13:38

>> It was not. No, that was this is Look,

2:13:42

maybe I'm a little biased, but I think

2:13:44

it was one of the best interviews that

2:13:45

I've seen with him, exploring topics

2:13:48

that I haven't seen him explore either

2:13:50

in a in quite a long time or um at all

2:13:55

in some cases. So, yeah. No, I thought

2:13:57

it was great and I appreciate you having

2:13:59

me on.

2:14:00

>> Thank you, Landy. I appreciate you guys.

2:14:02

Tune in to Landy tonight. It's Friday,

2:14:04

8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time as he

2:14:06

breaks down the markets. he recaps some

2:14:08

Landy. Uh, thank you.

2:14:11

>> Thanks, David. Take care.

2:14:15

>> Let's bring in um

2:14:17

let's bring in uh this person uh has

2:14:20

promised me a voice over for the longest

2:14:23

time. And I'm so not only was I promised

2:14:26

that I was going to Gemini's uh

2:14:28

headquarters. I Hold on. Let's do a

2:14:31

little uh breakdown here. I was promised

2:14:33

to go to Gemini's headquarters. 48 hour

2:14:36

marathon [clears throat]

2:14:39

then voice over. Yo, I am really the

2:14:44

stepchild out there in Gemini. They must

2:14:47

like not Gemini hates me. That's it.

2:14:50

That's the only conclusion that I can

2:14:51

come to I can come to. Gemini doesn't

2:14:53

like me.

2:14:56

It's sad [snorts]

2:14:59

cuz I love him so much. But let's bring

2:15:02

on Austin Oats. Man. Austin, what's

2:15:04

going on, bro? Oh, hello everybody. I'm

2:15:18

was like, we're dialed in. Dude, what a

2:15:21

fire stream.

2:15:22

>> Was Gemini dialed in or no?

2:15:24

>> Uh, I mean I am Gemini, so [laughter]

2:15:28

I don't know how to say it that

2:15:30

>> he said I am Gemini. I am Gemini. I am.

2:15:35

Look. All right. I'm in I'm in the room.

2:15:37

2:15:50

>> I'm literally Yeah. Like dude, I'm in

2:15:51

I'm in the in the closet right now.

2:15:53

Dialed up. This is the the whole setup.

2:15:55

Yeah. We got I got Bitcoin. We got our

2:15:57

Bitcoin. You know, I was I was eating my

2:15:59

PEZ right here watching you talk to

2:16:00

Sailor.

2:16:02

What a good chat though. How did you

2:16:03

fail? You had a little bubbly. I'm gonna

2:16:05

post interview you now. So like how do

2:16:08

you feel after today? Like do you feel

2:16:11

like you know you left any questions on

2:16:14

the table? Do you feel like you you you

2:16:16

learned anything today that to improve

2:16:18

upon in your next big interview?

2:16:22

>> I feel like I wish I had more time.

2:16:24

>> Yeah. Um because I had like I had so

2:16:29

many questions and I also

2:16:33

I I also uh like I studied all of his

2:16:36

interviews and like the things more so

2:16:38

like what he was saying and like

2:16:42

so I but at the same time if you know

2:16:44

how to interview if you're you know if

2:16:47

you're a media personality and you know

2:16:49

how to you know host your show

2:16:52

I'm not going to interrupt him while

2:16:54

he's giving his thesis on certain things

2:16:57

and true

2:16:57

>> you know I allowed it to just flow you

2:16:59

know and

2:17:01

>> um so I sat back and you know I I

2:17:04

personally felt like I was a part of the

2:17:05

audience just being allowed to ask the

2:17:08

question you know or or pose a question

2:17:10

to him

2:17:11

>> uh a lot of things that he said like I

2:17:14

didn't expect us to go into certain you

2:17:17

know topics but we did but I think with

2:17:20

like with sailor I'm definitely going to

2:17:22

set up an interview that's three to four

2:17:25

>> [laughter]

2:17:26

>> Yeah, you need he could talk forever.

2:17:28

>> But he's not just words, you know, like

2:17:30

people are just word salad.

2:17:32

>> Like he's actually like he's thinking

2:17:40

and he's he's breaking things down to

2:17:40

you and he's excited about it too and

2:17:42

it's not

2:17:44

it's just not [ __ ] Like you can

2:17:46

tell like he is bro like Bitcoin I

2:17:50

breathe it like this is my life like and

2:17:54

you can see it. So

2:17:56

>> you're

2:17:56

>> you know like somebody like me who's

2:17:57

into Bitcoin you tell people hey you

2:17:59

know and this dude's on on different

2:18:01

levels man you know on different levels.

2:18:04

Now we just need to get you know

2:18:08

you know the twins I'm just saying the

2:18:10

twins you know twins to come on.

2:18:14

No, that's I mean

2:18:15

>> camera

2:18:17

>> you might I'm trying. I'll do my best. I

2:18:20

try I try my hardest for you.

2:18:23

>> The one thing I forgot to ask sailor was

2:18:25

Hey, so do you got a Gemini Bitcoin

2:18:28

credit card? He

2:18:29

>> does.

2:18:31

He does have one.

2:18:32

>> See, see I left questions on the table.

2:18:34

>> That's all right, though. I feel like

2:18:36

you know he does. I've actually seen him

2:18:38

in like I've I saw him at Pub Key once

2:18:40

with it. Yeah. But he actually uses it.

2:18:43

Like it's pretty sick. Like he does love

2:18:46

Bitcoin. I mean at the end of the day I

2:18:49

feel like I I'm also

2:18:51

like my

2:18:52

>> So let me ask you this question before

2:18:53

you go. This is the question I want to

2:18:55

ask you.

2:18:56

>> I have to leave. You can't.

2:18:57

>> No no no. I said before you go with your

2:18:59

remark. My my bad. Meaning like before

2:19:01

you go with your take. If you were new

2:19:03

tuning in, if you were just if you just

2:19:05

came into crypto and you listened to

2:19:08

that conversation,

2:19:09

would you be more interested in Bitcoin?

2:19:13

>> If you're new, I feel like

2:19:16

>> or it's or it still left you.

2:19:20

It's a lot of I feel like it's a lot of

2:19:22

info. Like he's like it's it's a lot of

2:19:24

info, but I feel like if you once you

2:19:26

break past like he's going to be the

2:19:27

first person you probably look at to

2:19:29

understand it because for example, my

2:19:30

stepmom got into crypto and uh Sailor

2:19:33

was like the like she's you know she's

2:19:35

like highly intelligent. Let's just say

2:19:38

everyone she can pallet like a lot of

2:19:41

words. So like she actually like Sailor

2:19:44

was like the reason she got into

2:19:45

Bitcoin. Like she's like a maxi. Like

2:19:47

she has a ton of Bitcoin.

2:19:49

>> Yeah. Um, and Sailor is the reason she

2:19:52

got into it. Like one of the main

2:19:54

reasons and like the conversations you

2:19:55

had with him today are like the reasons

2:19:57

why it like worked for her. I don't

2:19:59

think it's like if you're intellectual

2:20:01

viewer then like Sailor is a great entry

2:20:03

point like to understand like the

2:20:05

conversations at which he describes it.

2:20:07

if you're low IQ, which I mean some

2:20:10

people are on Twitter, so like probably

2:20:12

more often than not, but like you're

2:20:14

it's probably but you need to understand

2:20:16

like if you p like he's the guy like you

2:20:19

got to trust like he's smart like he

2:20:21

gets it. So like even with that being

2:20:22

said like to condense it down. Um you

2:20:25

know, but I I do think like the lower IQ

2:20:28

people they pro they just need like us

2:20:31

like they need like someone that be like

2:20:33

tell them in five sentences how they're

2:20:35

like why it's good. But like Sailor like

2:20:37

is really good at converting people that

2:20:39

are like on the fence I think.

2:20:40

>> Yeah.

2:20:41

>> That are like oh like

2:20:42

>> I don't know. I get Bitcoin from a

2:20:44

financial perspective but I don't like

2:20:47

have f and he can kind of push people

2:20:49

over that ledge. Honestly I said it in

2:20:50

the chat. He's kind of like Bitcoin

2:20:52

Jesus in a way.

2:20:54

>> It's funny. That's funny

2:20:55

>> because he because he does like he he

2:20:57

push like

2:20:58

>> if he's bit if he's Bitcoin Jesus am I

2:21:00

Bitcoin Moses? [laughter]

2:21:01

>> Yes. Yes. Yes.

2:21:05

part the seas. I'm just I'm just the

2:21:07

guy. I'm the town scrier. I'm just like,

2:21:09

"Yay, yay." I'm just

2:21:11

>> You're just the guy at Gemini, like your

2:21:13

bio says.

2:21:13

>> Yeah. Yeah. I was just that guy.

2:21:15

>> I just saw that. I was dying laughing

2:21:16

cuz I was when I went to shoot you a DM.

2:21:18

I was like cuz I I was like, "Yo, come

2:21:20

on." And cuz I wanted to like I know you

2:21:24

watch.

2:21:26

>> Yeah. All the time. I'm here. I

2:21:27

literally pull up every every every time

2:21:29

that I'm like if I'm not in a meeting,

2:21:33

I'm I'm here.

2:21:34

>> [laughter]

2:21:35

>> like whenever you're live, you're my

2:21:37

daily entertainment.

2:21:39

>> Well, then you know, if you want

2:21:41

intellectual talks, tune in to Sailor.

2:21:45

If you want low IQ stuff, tune in to me.

2:21:48

Uh, the breakdown episode 641.

2:21:51

[laughter]

2:21:52

>> No, but like I I do I really do believe

2:21:56

um there's like different entry points.

2:21:58

Like I'm just kind of trolling with the

2:21:59

IQ stuff, but like

2:22:01

>> No, no, but it's true because like he's

2:22:03

talking at like an institutional level,

2:22:05

right? Like he's talking to

2:22:07

multi-millionaires, billionaires.

2:22:09

>> That's fair, right? My

2:22:11

>> I love to talk to everybody. Like

2:22:13

there's a little difference there. So

2:22:15

like I you know there are people that

2:22:17

are they have no no clue that the dollar

2:22:20

is worthless, right? like they they're

2:22:22

living in this fantasy world that's

2:22:24

being sold to them by the this wonderful

2:22:26

centralized system that we're, you know,

2:22:28

that they're currently in. I would like

2:22:29

to say they're currently in because

2:22:30

we've already unplugged ourselves,

2:22:32

right?

2:22:33

>> We're out of the matrix, right? That

2:22:35

that's kind of the way I look at it.

2:22:37

>> So, there's a way that you have to go

2:22:39

ahead and bring them in.

2:22:41

>> Yeah.

2:22:42

>> Because like it's kind of like when Neo

2:22:43

woke up like they were like, "Oh my god,

2:22:45

we never break a mind when it's at this

2:22:47

age." Or something like that. I think

2:22:48

I'm paraphrasing there, but I think

2:22:50

that's what they say like when they wake

2:22:52

up or they unplug Neo from the system.

2:22:55

>> And that's what happens to everybody

2:22:56

here, right? Like it's like you unplug

2:22:59

somebody. Well, sh man, they're too old

2:23:01

to start learning this stuff, right?

2:23:03

They're like, "Oh, they're not they're

2:23:04

not used to this. What are you talking

2:23:06

about? The dollar is worthless. The

2:23:08

dollar's backed by gold."

2:23:11

What,

2:23:12

>> bro? We haven't been backed by gold

2:23:13

since 1971. WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?

2:23:16

So like

2:23:17

>> the dollar's backed by debt and you

2:23:20

start telling them that the Federal

2:23:21

Reserve is not a branch of the

2:23:23

government and then they what what are

2:23:24

you talking about?

2:23:25

>> People don't know there's Yeah, you're

2:23:26

right. Like people like the average

2:23:27

person doesn't understand like a lot how

2:23:30

like how this country functions. they

2:23:32

just understand how to open Tik Tok

2:23:34

>> and I guess that's

2:23:35

>> you know but like to the point you say

2:23:37

like I think it's

2:23:39

>> uh it's important to have I think that's

2:23:41

why it's good to have these type of

2:23:43

shows and like what we do and just over

2:23:45

broader like

2:23:46

>> you got to hit all angles not everyone's

2:23:48

going to be able to pallet

2:23:50

>> institutional talk and then it's like

2:23:52

kind of our jobs to like make that

2:23:54

palatable [laughter]

2:24:00

>> in a way but I have you this is like a

2:24:00

complete

2:24:01

the uh I want to talk about this because

2:24:03

it's on top of my mind and I've been

2:24:04

like sweating about it. I don't know if

2:24:05

you've obviously seen it and but the

2:24:08

prediction stuff that we dropped.

2:24:10

>> I think it's awesome.

2:24:11

>> Dude, I got the Epste I'm like no on the

2:24:13

Epstein files and I'm sweating right

2:24:15

now. I think at three they're about to

2:24:17

like like release them. But I I don't

2:24:19

know. Like I I never This is It's a

2:24:21

thrill ride. One, it's fun as hell, but

2:24:24

it's also cool like you can I I've come

2:24:26

from like traditional sports gambling.

2:24:29

Oh [ __ ] And then um one second. I'm

2:24:32

getting called now. I'm getting a live

2:24:34

call on the Gemini. I'm on my like

2:24:36

laptop. Hold up.

2:24:39

>> It's probably Olivia.

2:24:40

>> Wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't I'm on

2:24:42

stream. It's not Olivia. It's actually

2:24:46

it's it's Jay Dog. It's Jeremy.

2:24:49

I just dropped his name.

2:24:50

>> Shout out to Jay Dog.

2:24:51

>> Jay Dog Jeremy. Wait for it. Um he he

2:24:55

No, but so have you check So checked it

2:24:57

out. I'm on the like Epstein no side and

2:25:00

I'm an idiot. Listen, I literally did it

2:25:03

and I looked at Twitter five I'm not

2:25:05

checking Twitter. I got conviction on no

2:25:08

and I Twitter five minutes later.

2:25:11

>> All this info comes out. They're like,

2:25:12

"No, like it has to happen." Like the

2:25:14

Democrats start posting all about how

2:25:16

like I have to do it on the 19th.

2:25:18

There's no ifand or buts. All that. I'm

2:25:20

like, and I literally see I had 50 5050

2:25:24

shot. I'm down 70% on my on my um on my

2:25:28

order already because it's like I it's

2:25:31

gonna come out today.

2:25:32

>> But I think I think like prediction

2:25:34

markets are a new asset class within the

2:25:36

crypto ecosystem. Like for me that's

2:25:38

what I think. So

2:25:39

>> yeah, they're cool. Like I I think it's

2:25:41

what I've never touched them before.

2:25:43

It's my first time ever using it. I've

2:25:45

never touched I never used any of the

2:25:47

competitors that we have in this space

2:25:49

and this is my first time ever like

2:25:50

buying it. I think what's interesting is

2:25:52

like you say, it's kind of like an asset

2:25:53

and you could hold it and then you could

2:25:55

sell it. I like it long term. You don't

2:25:56

have to think about it like, oh yeah,

2:25:58

you could really play it and you could

2:25:59

get out. I could have got out

2:26:02

>> and cut my losses, but I'm an idiot. I

2:26:04

just thought like, you know what I mean?

2:26:06

Like once I had the information, I'm

2:26:07

riding it out. But

2:26:08

>> yeah,

2:26:09

>> it's cool. You can And then you're up

2:26:10

10%. You can get out. Like you can just

2:26:12

get out. There's no You're not like

2:26:14

sports gambling is so different. You're

2:26:16

locked in. Like

2:26:17

>> Yeah.

2:26:17

>> You're like stuck.

2:26:19

>> You you can't get out. you can't escape.

2:26:21

So, I think it's it's extremely

2:26:23

interesting. But honestly, I never cared

2:26:25

about the news as much, which I think is

2:26:26

another segue. It's like you see Sailor

2:26:28

come on. I got a little prediction

2:26:30

Bitcoin market play and I'm like, "Okay,

2:26:31

like I have faith again." [laughter]

2:26:34

>> You should have You should have went to

2:26:35

the prediction markets and like been on

2:26:37

like is David going to absolutely bomb

2:26:40

in this video. I mean, in this

2:26:42

interview. [laughter]

2:26:43

>> No, I would say I wouldn't I would put

2:26:46

the I put a million I put my whole net

2:26:48

worth on. You wouldn't bother. This is

2:26:51

your You're talented, bro. There's no

2:26:52

way you don't even have to worry about

2:26:53

that.

2:26:56

>> I appreciate you, Austin. You're a

2:26:57

talented cat yourself, man. You've done

2:26:59

a lot at Gemini to go ahead and, you

2:27:02

2:27:05

Seriously,

2:27:06

2:27:30

2:27:32

2:27:33

I got to do out here, man. I don't know.

2:27:35

I don't know what I got to do.

2:27:38

2:27:40

2:27:43

Maybe we'll get her as a special guest.

2:27:44

I'll interview her. We can do it

2:27:46

together. Whoa.

2:27:48

It's kind of sad.

2:27:52

2:31:34

2:32:04

Shout out to the new family on Tik

2:32:05

[applause] Tok. Everybody on Tik Tok

2:32:07

that has been supporting me ever since

2:32:10

that I I got on there. What, like maybe

2:32:12

a week a week ago? You know, it started

2:32:15

started with a lot of hate. We'll

2:32:17

continue with some hate, but a lot of

2:32:20

haters converted to friends or

2:32:23

friendlies

2:32:25

and we're having a good time, right? Cuz

2:32:28

that's that's what it's about. It's

2:32:29

about having a good time, having fun in

2:32:32

finance, cuz finance is boring.

2:32:36

So, let's add a little fun to it. And a

2:32:40

lot of you son of a [ __ ] are just

2:32:41

getting to know me on TikTok.

2:32:44

A lot of you guys don't know me through

2:32:45

a hole in the wall. And I understand,

2:32:54

but like I always do, I'll win you over.

2:32:54

We'll be back with a quote after this

2:32:56

commercial break

2:32:58

from Gemini. Before Bitcoin, you would

2:33:01

have bought bars of soap. You would have

2:33:03

bought anything. You would have bought

2:33:04

food. You would have bought bullets. You

2:33:06

would have bought guns. [music] Anything

2:33:07

tangible that you can self-custody, you

2:33:11

would have held. Now after Bitcoin,

2:33:24

Bitcoin is competing with gold. It's

2:33:24

competing with real estate. But that

2:33:26

being the case, the way I think about

2:33:28

Bitcoin is it's a digital monopoly on

2:33:30

capital. It's a world reserve capital

2:33:32

network.

2:33:35

I don't give a [ __ ] about your

2:33:36

short-term [music] prediction. The

2:33:38

ultimate goal is to get Bitcoin.

2:33:52

[applause]

2:34:41

[cheering]

2:34:42

[screaming]

2:35:49

Okay, I'm doing uh I'm doing the quote

2:35:49

of the day and this is a long one. Okay,

2:35:53

this a long quote of the day. So, hear

2:35:54

me out on this one.

2:35:57

Hear me out, okay? Just hear me out.

2:36:01

By the way, I just want to wish

2:36:03

everybody a happy holiday. Happy

2:36:05

holidays, by the way. Happy holidays. A

2:36:07

lot of the interviews that I have had

2:36:09

for this month, I had to reschedu for

2:36:11

next month just because due to the

2:36:13

holidays, obviously Hanukkah and

2:36:15

Christmas and Quanza. Uh again, I had to

2:36:19

reschedule a lot of things. So, um yeah,

2:36:24

we'll have a a huge lineup in January.

2:36:27

So, much respect to everybody.

2:36:28

[screaming]

2:36:29

[cheering]

2:36:30

Thank you everybody.

2:36:33

[applause] Really do appreciate it. But

2:36:35

here's the quote of the day. This is

2:36:37

going to be long. This is going to be

2:36:38

long. In the end, everything begins.

2:36:42

I didn't understand this at first

2:36:44

because it just sounds like something

2:36:45

you'd hear the main character say in a

2:36:47

movie. The kind of line that can slip by

2:36:50

you if you aren't paying close

2:36:52

attention. But then it hit me. It's

2:36:55

actually a map, a shift in perspective

2:36:57

that if followed can change your life.

2:37:00

We were taught to fear endings. end of a

2:37:04

year, end of a relationship, end of a

2:37:06

dream you worked hard for. We treat the

2:37:09

word end like it's a locked door. Like

2:37:12

once something is over, there's nothing

2:37:14

on the other side but loss. But that's

2:37:16

not how things But that's not how this

2:37:19

thing we call life actually works.

2:37:22

Nothing you ever entered your life

2:37:24

without something else closing first.

2:37:27

You have never grown without outgrowing

2:37:29

something else. You rarely learn without

2:37:32

first being wrong. You don't become who

2:37:34

you are without other versions of you

2:37:36

dying along the way. When something

2:37:39

ends, it doesn't erase the past. It

2:37:41

completes that cycle. And it and

2:37:44

completion is port is important because

2:37:47

it creates space for something better.

2:37:50

An ending isn't failure. It's just life

2:37:52

saying you've taken this as far as it

2:37:54

can go. So when you're in those moments

2:37:57

of completion, stop asking yourself why

2:38:00

did this happen and start asking

2:38:03

yourself what did this make possible?

2:38:06

Then step back and watch the magic that

2:38:08

happens next. Ladies and gentlemen,

2:38:10

thank you very much for [cheering]

2:38:12

tuning in. That that that quote

2:38:16

those long it hits. Um thank you very

2:38:19

much for tuning in. Thank you to Michael

2:38:21

Sailor. Thank you to his staff for

2:38:23

setting up the the conversation. I don't

2:38:25

want to call it an interview, the

2:38:26

conversation. Thank you for gemminia for

2:38:28

sponsoring the show. Thank you for all

2:38:30

the people out there, my entire audience

2:38:33

that has been following me since 2016 as

2:38:37

I started my journey in podcasting.

2:38:39

Thank you so much for staying on,

2:38:42

staying with me, believing in me. I

2:38:45

appreciate you very, very much. Okay, to

2:38:47

the new people tuning in that don't know

2:38:49

me yet, I promise you I will deliver

2:38:51

content that will make you laugh, cry,

2:38:54

and bring some value to your life. That

2:38:56

I can promise. Um, happy holidays to

2:39:00

all, by the way. Happy holidays to all.

2:39:02

I hope you guys take some time and chill

2:39:05

out with your families and just relax.

2:39:07

That's right. Because we can take a few

2:39:09

hours to breathe, go work out, go touch

2:39:12

some grass, do something, and then you

2:39:14

can get right back on it. Okay. I think

2:39:16

we're going to have a phenomenal quarter

2:39:18

one in 2026. I think it's going to be

2:39:21

electric. I am extremely bullish. Um,

2:39:26

stay patient. Patience is key. Patience

2:39:29

is key to winning. That's all I can say.

2:39:32

And on Bitcoin, regardless of what other

2:39:35

assets we all hold, when it comes to

2:39:37

Bitcoin, Bitcoin for me opened up my

2:39:39

eyes to what the world what the world

2:39:42

really looked like. That's what Bitcoin

2:39:44

did. It really opened up my eyes to the

2:39:46

world that we really live in, the

2:39:48

centralized world that, you know, they

2:39:51

talk about opportunities and all, but

2:39:53

they're not real opportunities. They're

2:39:55

they're they're not. And uh and I've

2:39:58

talked about that multiple times. So, I

2:40:00

would encourage everybody to just just

2:40:02

look into the beginning of this entire

2:40:04

ecosystem. Look into Bitcoin. Look into

2:40:06

everything. Study everything. Question

2:40:08

everything.

2:40:10

Make yourself better, man. That that

2:40:12

that that's it. And you know what?

2:40:13

There's enough room at the table for

2:40:14

everybody. There's no need to bicker

2:40:16

with people. You can go ahead and sit at

2:40:18

the same table and you can win together.

2:40:21

Biggest thing is that I hope that retail

2:40:22

wins. That's always been my biggest goal

2:40:24

is to make sure that retail wins.

2:40:28

No disrespect to the institutions that

2:40:30

have kept retail in a fog. But I I hope

2:40:34

retail comes out the winners here. I

2:40:36

really do. Anyway, once again, thank you

2:40:39

to everybody who participated. Thank you

2:40:40

to everybody who tuned in. I will see

2:40:43
