1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>He's back regulator, but still a scumback. Gary Ginster makes

2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:07.879
<v Speaker 1>an appearance and it seems like he is a Bitcoin maximus.

3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Now I'll share the clip of what he had to say,

4
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.599
<v Speaker 1>and fetcher Jerome Powell makes some very interesting statements about

5
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.239
<v Speaker 1>crypto and stable coins that you need to know about.

6
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>And we're going to talk about global liquidity on the

7
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 1>rise and could we see a bitcoin in the crypto

8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 1>market making move soon. Let's get into it. Hey, everybody,

<v Speaker 1>please leave a five star rating and review. Folks. I

15
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>took a few days off. It's great to be back.

16
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>It was spring break this week for my daughter, so

17
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>me and the family we want a little trip. And

18
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>although I'm still I'm battling some allergies right now, so

19
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a part in my voice, but I'll get through it

20
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 1>taking some meds. But it's great to be back, and

21
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>we got a lot to cover, So let's get into it.

22
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 1>So first up, we want to talk about the price

23
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 1>of bitcoin. Not much happening, guys. We're still waiting for

24
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin and even the stock market to break through that

25
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>two hundred day moving average. You can see here on

26
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 1>my screen. I'm zoomed in. But we need to see

27
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 1>higher highs and higher lows. And as I always say,

28
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>let the market prove itself. Let it show us that

29
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>it has strength and that this is indeed the reversal

30
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>for the rally upwards. I still believe we are in

31
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>a bull market despite this very harsh correction that we

32
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>experience with the macro uncertainty of tariffs, and the catalyst

33
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that could help us get above these moving averages and

34
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 1>have the strength could be the resolution to the US

35
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and China tariff battle that's been going on. In addition

36
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to the FED making a move of cutting rates or

37
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>signaling their returning to money printing, and there's a bit

38
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 1>of a battle going on between Fed Cherry Jerome Ball

39
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>and Donald Trump. That's all a political show. It's just

40
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 1>political theater. One thing we know about this fiat currency system,

41
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 1>we have to go back to money printing. There's no

42
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>way around it, so one way or the other, they're

43
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 1>going to get there. This is where we have to

44
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>be patient and just sit back and let the liquidity

45
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>continue to rise. And what we are seeing is that

46
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 1>global liquidity is breaking out like crazy. It's going parabolic.

47
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>That's very good. We've seen this result in massive rallies

48
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>for bitcoin and the crypto market, even in stock market,

49
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 1>because all these assets are correlated to a global liquidity.

50
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.159
<v Speaker 1>So here analysts crypto currently said can't stop looking at

51
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 1>this chart, and his chart shows global liquidity and bitcoin.

52
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 1>He says, we really have a full breakout on the

53
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Global Liquidity index first time in three years, and bitcoin

54
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>is consolidating. Anything can happen, of course, but the future

55
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>looks so bright. So as always, there's no guarantees here, right,

56
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>we don't have a crystal ball, but looking at the

57
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 1>data now not our feelings are emotions. We're seeing the

58
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>patterns we've seen history, and that could play out very well.

59
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Even macro investor Ral Pale shared his data chart showing

60
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 1>global M two you know, essentially global liquidity and that

61
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 1>it is surging as well. So multiple data points are

62
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>showing this. Guys. He says, I know many of you

63
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>want to see the updated version of the Bitcoin versus

64
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Global M two chart here. It is just a very

65
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>small part of the weekly macro investing tool. It is

66
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.599
<v Speaker 1>time give or take a few days. So he's saying

67
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>we could see some sort of rally soon, and I

68
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>think seasonality wise, that make sense. Obviously, this tariff situation

69
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 1>has really put a dark cloud over markets, and it's

70
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 1>not just crypto, of course, but at some point the

71
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 1>markets will price this in there they'll find your bottom

72
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 1>and start moving. We've seen this historically, whether it be

73
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight, whether it be two thousand, the

74
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>dot com bubble pop, right, all these things go back

75
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 1>to all the major crashes and histories. Markets find a

76
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 1>bottom and they keep going. What we have to do is,

77
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 1>of course, be patient. And that's the hard part. And

78
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 1>you can listen to Warren Buffett and read the books

79
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 1>about him and what he talks about patients when it

80
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 1>comes to investing and even emotional control, not being emotional

81
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 1>about the markets. Yes, it's hard, Yes, a seeing your

82
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>value of your portfolio going down is hard. It bothers

83
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 1>me as well. Right, That's why I've often said, don't

84
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>look at your portfolio when we go through these parts.

85
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 1>I haven't been looking at my portfolio, and I'm being

86
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>very honest, I have not been looking at it because

87
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I know there's the mental battle there right. Oh my god,

88
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>my portfolio is down. I'm not gonna hit my financial goals.

89
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 1>You go, we all human, we go through it. But

90
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>part of investing, and this is not playing the lottery,

91
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 1>and this is not going to the casino. This is

92
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>having a macro view, a long term view, and staying

93
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the course. Obviously there's something detrimental happening to a specific

94
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>stock or crypto you're holding, you want to liquidate it.

95
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>But outside of those things, you just want to sit

96
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>back and ride the wave here the globally liquidity way.

97
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>So I think in due time, guys, we're going to

98
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.079
<v Speaker 1>see a rally upwards. Now, FED Chair Jerome Powell made

99
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 1>some big statements around crypto. He says crypto is becoming

100
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 1>more mainstream and legal framework for stable coins is a

101
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>good idea. So we've seen over time Pradchair Jerome Powell

102
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>make statements about crypto that it's here to stay. They're

103
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 1>not going to ban it, and I think they absolutely

104
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>agree with the stable coin idea because this will help

105
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>the US dollar maintain its will a reserve currency status,

106
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>especially as stable coin issues are going to buy treasuries

107
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 1>right and the US won't have to depend on China

108
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and other countries. You know. Jerome Powell mentioned stable coins

109
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and standard Charter this week put out an article saying

110
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.519
<v Speaker 1>they expect the stable coin supply to search to two

111
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 1>trillion dollars by twenty twenty eight. So I think we

112
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>could get to a trillion by the end of this year,

113
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>or if not to next year if stable coin legislation

114
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>makes it through. Because once you have the clarity the banks,

115
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>all these big institutions are going to be able to

116
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>launch your own stable coins, guys, and the United States

117
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 1>wants this, by the way, They need to do this

118
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>because this will help the US dollar because there's bricks

119
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>nations trying to bypass the US dollar. I'm sure you

120
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>guys are up to speed on what's happening there. So

121
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 1>allowing different institutions in the United States to launch these

122
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and then push these USD backed stable coins into different

123
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 1>parts of the world will help the world reserve currency status.

124
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 1>So big stuff here. Now we got news that the

125
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 1>SEC has announced details for its third crypto Policy Roundtable,

126
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and these roundtables have been great, They've been livestream. There's

127
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of transparency, so I love it. They have

128
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>an April twenty fifth event which will focus on custody issues,

129
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>featuring two panels, one on broker dealer and wallet custody

130
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.879
<v Speaker 1>and the other on investment advisor and investment company custody.

131
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>So you're going to see folks, some fireblocks, fidelity, anchorage, cracking, exodus,

132
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.079
<v Speaker 1>and much more so. Guys, we're seeing some of the

133
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 1>biggest of the biggest in the industry coming to meet

134
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.279
<v Speaker 1>with the SEC here and it's amazing to see this happening.

135
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>It's a far cry from what was happening over the

136
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.079
<v Speaker 1>past four years. Now, speaking about what was happening over

137
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the past four years, look who crawled out from under

138
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:20.199
<v Speaker 1>their rock at MIT, Gary Genser, the scumbag regulator himself

139
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 1>or a former regulator, but still a scumbag. Gary Cancer.

140
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>So this guy is unbelievable. And as usual, he goes

141
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>on CNBC. He doesn't answer questions clearly, he dances around

142
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.759
<v Speaker 1>the questions, but he made some surprising statements that have

143
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Bitcoin Maxi's kind of going crazy, like, oh, Gary, answer

144
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>is a Bitcoin maxie now and for some of those

145
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>bigcoin maxis who are low IQ. If Gary was such

146
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a Bitcoin Maxi, why did it take a lawsuit for

147
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>him to approve the bigcoin spotty? TF? That he had

148
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.079
<v Speaker 1>to be called arbitrary and capricious to approve a bigcoin

149
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>s body TF? Yeah, because he's not no big coin maximus.

150
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>He is anti crypto because he was told to be

151
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>anti crypto by Elizabeth Warren who was his controller. And

152
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 1>of course they were lobbied by the big banks, right

153
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Jamie and Iman and all these guys. That was the

154
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 1>whole plan. That's why he attacked crypto like that. So

155
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you know bitcoin maxi's they're just looking for the grasping

156
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>for straws here. Oh oh Gary's big you know he's

157
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 1>he's a bitcoin maxim. Yeah yeah, Gary, you want Gary

158
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to be your leader? Now? Really? Really? I mean the

159
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.279
<v Speaker 1>guy who had to be called arbitrary and capricies to

160
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>approve a bitcoin spotty TF. The guy who claim was

161
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 1>a Bitcoin maximus had to have the courts do this

162
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to him to approve a bigcoin spotty TF. Again, Logic

163
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 1>reason have been thrown out the window with some of

164
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>these guys. But let me play the clip of what

165
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Gary had to say.

166
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Gary, final question for you. As you probably watched,

167
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>so many CEOs were doing almost victory laps in the

168
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>in the crypto world as these enforcement cases were dropped

169
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 2>to buy this current administration of cases, of course, the

170
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>cases that you had brought. As you watched that, what

171
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:05.759
<v Speaker 2>did you think.

172
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Look, I'm going to step back a little bit from

173
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 3>any individual cases and just say this again to your

174
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 3>viewing public. Is a very small part of the financial markets.

175
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.320
<v Speaker 3>But if you were interested in this, think about every

176
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 3>financial asset sort of trades and a bit of fundamentals

177
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 3>and sentiment. But this field is almost ninety nine or

178
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe one might say one hundred percent sentiment and very

179
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 3>little unfundamentals. And while something like bitcoin may persist for

180
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 3>a long time because there's seven billion people around the

181
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 3>globe a real keen interest in it, there's ten or

182
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 3>fifteen thousand others of these tokens. And to think through

183
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 3>your own risk, your own personal risk, about where are

184
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 3>the fundamentals And if this is just about sentiment, then

185
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 3>generally those don't end up well and most then go down.

186
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Are you talking?

187
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>You're contrasting Bitcoin with the other ones, or you're just

188
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 2>they're all the same.

189
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Joe, I'm glad that you spoke up, because I know

190
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 3>you're a bit of a bitcoin enthusiast and think less

191
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 3>well of the rest of those. It's how you and

192
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 3>I've always connected in the green rooms. But think of

193
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 3>these ten or fifteen thousand other tokens, and just on

194
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 3>the economics, just on the fundamentals. What are the fundamentals?

195
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.320
<v Speaker 1>No, I know, but that was my suggestion.

196
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 3>You throw Bitcoin in with the rest of them, or

197
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.679
<v Speaker 3>you think Bitcoin is different than it's qualitatively different than

198
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 3>the others. I think the distinction is similar to in metals,

199
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 3>there's only two or three precious metals. We humans have

200
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.519
<v Speaker 3>a certain fascination with two or three precious metals like gold.

201
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't think we human, so we'll have a fascination

202
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:07.039
<v Speaker 3>with ten or fifteen thousand meme or sentiment tokens trading

203
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.720
<v Speaker 3>over the years.

204
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.440
<v Speaker 1>So there you have it, right, And he tried to

205
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>compare everything else outside of bitcoin to memes and sentiment

206
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 1>tokens when many of these blockchains have big institutions. I'm

207
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>talking black Rock, fidelity and much more. Building on him,

208
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, what's on the screen there next to Gary, Etherorem,

209
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Salon and XRP. Those have a lot of institutional investors,

210
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>specifically Etherorem and XRP. Solana not so much. Now. You

211
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>could argue there was a lot of meme coins in Solana, right, Yes,

212
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean he may have a point there, but at

213
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.679
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, there's more than meme coins

214
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>being built. So he's being disingenuous as usual. He's still,

215
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, with that same old narrative. And it wouldn't

216
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 1>surprise me. Elizabeth Warren told him the hey, crawl out

217
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 1>from MIT and come say something on TV, you know,

218
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 1>because we can attack you know, let this current administration

219
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>about it and so on and so forth. Typical Gary, Right,

220
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 1>what are you gonna do? He's he's a scumbag and

221
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be a continue to be a scumbag.

222
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 1>But guys, one thing is for sure, it doesn't matter

223
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 1>what Gary Ginster does. Disruptive technology always wins. I'll give

224
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you an example. Telecom companies back in the nineties were

225
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 1>trying to block the Internet because people are going to

226
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.519
<v Speaker 1>use the Internet for a voice over IP being able

227
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 1>to do calls and all that. They tried to fight.

228
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>So they were the incumbents. Same things happening here, banks

229
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 1>and payment companies. We got to stop these crypto guys.

230
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 1>We're got to stop the stable coins. They're moving value.

231
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.159
<v Speaker 1>They're investing in these things outside of us. Same thing's

232
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>happening here. And of course they have their dogs on

233
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the leash like Gary. And of course he was, you know,

234
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 1>the call was made to him. He's a gold min

235
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 1>sas guy. The call was made to him, and he

236
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>did what he had to do. But he got defeated,

237
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>of course, and he's still going to run around, you know,

238
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to talk his bs, but it doesn't carry any

239
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 1>weight anymore. Everybody knows he's a clown. Anyway, guys, quick

240
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.399
<v Speaker 1>word from our sponsor and that is Uphold. Uphold is

241
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>one of the top crypto platforms I've been using since

242
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen. You can buy, sell, trade cryptocurrencies. They have

243
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>three hundred plus cryptocurrencies. They have staking They just readded

244
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>staking rewards for nineteen cryptocurrencies and they are fully reserved. Guys.

245
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.639
<v Speaker 1>They don't commingle or lend out your crypto funds and

246
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you can review their transparency report. They also have a

247
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>great rewards program where you can earn up to five

248
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>point two five percent on stable coins such as Ripples,

249
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:33.639
<v Speaker 1>r l USD, paypals p YUSZ, circles USDC And to participate,

250
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.879
<v Speaker 1>you have to open the app ones per month, deposit

251
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.440
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars once per month, and trade fifty dollars once

252
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>per month and you can earn once again five percent

253
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 1>on USDC, aren't l us D and PYUSD and five

254
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>point two five percent on USBC. And they don't do

255
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.799
<v Speaker 1>any shady stuff. I interviewed the CEO to learn about

256
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.159
<v Speaker 1>where's the yield coming from here. They're doing this the

257
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.519
<v Speaker 1>right way, no shady stuff. They're not lending out to

258
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.279
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of other people and creating a setup

259
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.879
<v Speaker 1>where you know, something goes bad, there's a domino effect,

260
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we saw this what happened in twenty

261
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. They're not doing anything like that. They're doing

262
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:08.759
<v Speaker 1>it the right way. So if you'd like to learn

263
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>more about Uphold, check out the link in the description. Now, guys,

264
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.759
<v Speaker 1>look at this Binance is reportedly advising global governments and

265
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:19.559
<v Speaker 1>setting up strategic bitcoin reserves. So we've been seeing cz

266
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.159
<v Speaker 1>while he's not working in a full capacity at Binance.

267
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>He's been meeting with different governments and becoming an advisor,

268
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a crypto advisor. He met with the folks at Pakistan

269
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and Kyrgistan, and it's incredible that Binance is doing us

270
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and the world is still the world's largest exchange. So

271
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.200
<v Speaker 1>they have a big brand and you know, there's clarity now.

272
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.919
<v Speaker 1>They're kind of out of the woods in regards to

273
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>what was going on with cz and the fines and

274
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 1>so forth. So it makes sense that they're going to

275
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>do this because they can get these governments to buy

276
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the coins from them and even custody right if they

277
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>choose to. But smart move by Binance, so lem you

278
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>to details. Cryptocurrency Exchang Finance is involved in discussions on

279
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:06.840
<v Speaker 1>establishing strategic digital asset reserves with several countries. It's CEO,

280
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Richard Teng, reportedly said Finance has been advising multiple governments

281
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>on establishing strategic bitcoin reserves and formulating crypto asset regulations

282
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.879
<v Speaker 1>to Teng said in an interview with The Financial Times

283
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>on April seventeenth, so here's a quote. We have actually

284
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.720
<v Speaker 1>received quite a number of approaches by a few governments

285
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and sovereign wealth funds on the establishment of their own

286
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:35.679
<v Speaker 1>crypto reserves. Guys, how things have changed. A paradigm shift

287
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.799
<v Speaker 1>is taking place. I couldn't imagine this in twenty sixteen

288
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>when I got in. So it's incredible, just amazing, And

289
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I have to pinch myself because it's surreal having

290
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:51.879
<v Speaker 1>experienced the opposite of governments spreading funds, saying all types

291
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 1>of negative things. So now, oh, we want to set

292
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>up a crypto reserve, right, and we're going to work

293
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:02.559
<v Speaker 1>with exchanges. Incredible stuff. Now, speaking of institutional adoption, Franklin Templeton,

294
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the Wall Street powerhouse, they have formed a partnership with

295
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Standard Chartered and OKX crypto exchange. So they tweeted out

296
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 1>that Standard Chartered and OKX have launched a collateral mirroring

297
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 1>program allowing institutional clients to use crypto and tokenized money

298
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>market funds held by Standard Chartered on the OKX exchange.

299
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Brevin Howard Digital will be the first to participate using

300
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Franklin Templeton's tokenized platform. Guys, I'm sure many of you

301
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.799
<v Speaker 1>have seen my interview with Sandy Call, who heads up

302
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton I've interviewed her two times.

303
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't, check out the interview playlist. They are

304
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.639
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot, and they don't get the big headlines

305
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>like black Rock or Fideli, but they're doing a lot.

306
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.799
<v Speaker 1>They're building a lot of products, and this is a

307
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.399
<v Speaker 1>huge partnership. Standard Chartered, I mean a bank right and

308
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Okax one of the largest exchanges in the Asian markets.

309
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.039
<v Speaker 1>They're not fully functional in the United States to regulations,

310
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 1>but I think second to Finance, they have the most volume,

311
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.519
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken. But huge, huge news here, guys,

312
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I hope you see what's happening. Final news item. Treehouse

313
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Finance reaches four hundred million dollars token valuation in new

314
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:20.119
<v Speaker 1>funding round. So they have raised an undisclosed amount with

315
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 1>a four hundred million dollars valuation. The figure represents the

316
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>fully diluted valuation of tree Houses yet to launch Native token.

317
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Co founder and CEO Brandon go Toll the block So

318
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>notice this, guys, they're raising a lot of money that

319
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>tokens not launch at. So this is why I've been

320
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 1>saying I'm looking forward to the future bull markets. There's

321
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be new blockchains and new tokens out there and

322
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:46.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to follow the money. You know, what are

323
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the vcs and hedge ones putting your money in? And

324
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it could be opportunities. Right, this is the first time

325
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing about Treehouse Finance. I don't know much about them,

326
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 1>but I think there are more of a defive protocol AB.

327
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 1>I'll give it to details. But pretty incredible, right, still

328
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.359
<v Speaker 1>coming in token projects are still getting funded, guys. These

329
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.599
<v Speaker 1>are all signs of growth and health in the market,

330
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 1>so Go said. The funding round was structured as a

331
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>simple agreement for future tokens the SAFT token SAFT if

332
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to call it that, and close late last year.

333
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.759
<v Speaker 1>He added. The Treehouse's previous eighteen million dollars seed round,

334
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>completed over three years ago in March twenty twenty two,

335
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:32.920
<v Speaker 1>was also structured as a SAFT. Treehouse Finance did not

336
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.640
<v Speaker 1>name its lead investor, but described it as a venture

337
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:39.160
<v Speaker 1>arm of one of the largest life insurance and financial

338
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:44.079
<v Speaker 1>firms managing over five hundred billion dollars in assets. The

339
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:48.279
<v Speaker 1>article says here the investor appears to be Mass Mutual Ventures,

340
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:53.400
<v Speaker 1>which also backed Treehouses seed round. Guys, look who's involved here.

341
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Pretty incredible stuff. So you know, for just so you know,

342
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:01.960
<v Speaker 1>treehouses betting on a defile I fixed income becoming a

343
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>major market, tapping into a six hundred trillion dollar opportunity

344
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.920
<v Speaker 1>from traditional finance. So essentially, as they tokenize all the

345
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.640
<v Speaker 1>traditional assets, there's gonna be opportunities for DeFi. And as

346
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.440
<v Speaker 1>a highlight here fixed income DeFi. Now, we've got to

347
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>make sure the infrastructure is right. We got to make

348
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.039
<v Speaker 1>sure these things are tested because we've seen DeFi get

349
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.640
<v Speaker 1>exploited big time, and I've often said that doesn't mean

350
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 1>DeFi is not going to exist. The point is that

351
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.759
<v Speaker 1>version one point zero of anything, especially in the early days,

352
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>it's going to have flaws. There's gonna be bugs, and

353
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:37.599
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be open season on it, right because

354
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.519
<v Speaker 1>hackers and all these guys are going to attack it.

355
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:44.880
<v Speaker 1>But I think further iteration, you'll have better software here,

356
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.559
<v Speaker 1>better protocols, better set up where it can't be hacked.

357
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>And I'm betting the institutions know what they're doing here

358
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.039
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to build things that are much safer.

359
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:58.119
<v Speaker 1>So guys, I mean, I see the names that are

360
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:00.920
<v Speaker 1>getting involved here. It is company and people who have

361
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 1>been around before the crypto market and now they're all

362
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.079
<v Speaker 1>getting involved some of the biggest things. I mean, I

363
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>just told you guys about standard Charter, Mass mutual. Those

364
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:12.839
<v Speaker 1>who are around before crypto and they've been doing their thing,

365
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and now they see what's on the horizon that this

366
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:21.839
<v Speaker 1>technology is here to stay. So big things are happening globally. Guys, folks,
