1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,240
Despite the recent pullback, 
Bitcoin's price continues to 

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,480
move higher and higher year 
after year, not because of 

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,760
height, but because the same 
forces keep pushing capital in 

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,960
One Direction. 
And right now, those forces are 

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,840
being discussed in all kinds of 
political and institutional 

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,640
forums across the world. 
It appears that strategy won't 

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,840
stop buying Bitcoin, Washington 
won't stop tweeting about 

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,680
Bitcoin, and the world has come 
to a point where they have to 

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,360
address the elephant in the 
room, Bitcoin. 

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,800
When heads of banks, governments
and corporations start 

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360
responding to those forces all 
at the same time, that's not a 

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,040
trend. 
That's well, as Michael Saylor 

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,160
puts it. 
The reason Bitcoin is going up, 

14
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:42,480
it's not an accident. 
It's because capital is is 

15
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,960
economic mass. 
It is flowing from a high energy

16
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,160
state, the mountain top, to a 
lower energy state, to a more 

17
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:51,960
efficient state. 
Oceans. 

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,000
This is beyond. 
Bitcoin, let's go. 

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,920
For years, Bitcoin was dismissed
as speculative, too volatile, or

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,280
too risky by all the biggest 
names in finance and politics, 

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,320
and we could all see that the 
writing is on the wall for that 

22
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,800
narrative to shift. 
During this entire behavioral 

23
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,160
shift, one company stopped 
waiting for permission and never

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,760
stopped buying. 
Can you guess who that company 

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,960
is? 
Yes, that company is Micro 

26
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:23,080
Strategy. 
Strategy, strategy, strategy. 

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,320
It's strategy. 
Sorry, strategy. 

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,560
That's strategy. 
Go by Milton Bradley. 

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,240
Yes, yes it is. 
While critics keep asking when 

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,360
Strategy will stop purchasing 
Bitcoin, and by the way Strategy

31
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,520
now owns over 700,000 in 
Bitcoin, the rest of the world's

32
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,000
programming is starting to short
circuit, asking a different 

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,480
question. 
Why don't we act sooner? 

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,160
Well, maybe it's because they've
been secretly planning this all 

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,800
along, feeding you false 
information while they rake in 

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,920
the profit. 
At the center of this is a man 

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,560
that needs no introduction in 
the Bitcoin space, Michael 

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,440
Saylor. 
Saylor has a way of explaining 

39
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,080
complex concepts as an engineer 
teacher would explain to a group

40
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,000
of second graders. 
Just listen to this recent 

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,520
explanation of his as to why 
capital behaves the way it does.

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Watch this. 
But I think where people trip up

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,680
with your language is this idea 
of the inevitability of the 60%.

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,920
What would you say to that? 
So we're dealing with three 

45
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:20,760
concepts, risk, volatility and 
performance. 

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,720
OK. 
So I've, I've addressed the risk

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,680
issue by pointing out that there
is existential risk in your 

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,800
given network or frame of 
reference. 

49
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,600
And I just want to make that 
point that once you understand 

50
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,680
that risk of being in that frame
of reference, then you have to 

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,880
figure out what's the source of 
the volatility in the 

52
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,000
performance. 
And if you don't understand why 

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,600
the asset does what it does, if 
you don't understand the 

54
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:54,520
economic physics involved, then 
you'll think it's random and 

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,960
you'll and you'll feel like it's
risk, the performance is risky. 

56
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,080
But I want to give you an 
example of a physical metaphor. 

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,280
I'm a hiker and I come across a 
mountain lake. 

58
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,400
And the mountain lake has 500 
trillion gallons of water in it.

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,720
And yeah, I don't know how it 
got there, but it's there. 

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,160
The water's chilly. 
It's clear. 

61
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,600
And I look down and there's a 
waterfall coming off the 

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,120
mountain lake. 
And the waterfall, you know, 

63
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,280
it's very beautiful and and it's
very turbulent, right? 

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,960
Water is turbulent in the 
waterfall. 

65
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Water is not turbulent. 
And a glassy lake. 

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,240
So the the turbulence is 
volatility, right? 

67
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,320
And the, and there's waterfall 
and then I look at it and now if

68
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,600
you look and you say, I don't 
know why that waterfalls 

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,400
downhill, you know, I don't know
if it'll keep falling downhill, 

70
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,360
but I hate the volatility. 
Then I guess you can take a 

71
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,400
selfie in front of the lake, go 
swimming, get cold and leave. 

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,760
But if, let's say you're in not 
a tourist, but you're an 

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,760
engineer. 
So you come across the same lake

74
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,320
and you see the waterfall and 
you see the 500 trillion gallons

75
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,680
and you think about gravity and 
you think about sunlight. 

76
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,400
And now I know how the water got
there. 

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,320
The water got there because the 
sun shone on the ocean. 

78
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,600
The the water evaporated from 
the ocean. 

79
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,600
It rose up in the clouds. 
The wind blew it against the 

80
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,960
mountain. 
It condensed and it rained into 

81
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,920
the mountain. 
And the, and the water ran off 

82
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,240
the mountain into the mountain 
lake. 

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,280
I know how it got there. 
And then I think, well, if I 

84
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:35,760
create a dam near that 
waterfall, I build myself a dam.

85
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,680
I put a turbine on the dam and 
then I drop a billion gallons of

86
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,600
water. 
I channel a billion gallons of 

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,200
water through the dam, drop at 
60 feet, and then I plug that 

88
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,320
into a hydroelectric power 
plant. 

89
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,080
I spin the Dynamo. 
I make electricity. 

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,360
And then if I'm really smart, I 
run the electric power line to a

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,160
village down in the valley. 
And I light up the village or I 

92
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,120
light up the city. 
Now, someone can come along that

93
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,640
doesn't understand physics and 
they can say, good idea, junior,

94
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,880
but what are you going to do 
when the water stops flowing 

95
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,360
downhill? 
Well, I'm like, well, I actually

96
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,840
think the water's flowing 
downhill because of gravity. 

97
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:16,560
Newton, Newton solved that for 
me. 

98
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,760
And then someone else comes 
along and says, good idea, 

99
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,440
junior, but what are you going 
to do when you run out of water 

100
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,920
in the lake? 
I'm like, well, there's 500 

101
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,000
trillion gallons and I take on 
my calculator and a billion 

102
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,400
gallons or whatever. 
It's going to last a long time. 

103
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,480
Like, well, it's eventually 
going to run out. 

104
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,120
I say, well, you know, the sun 
keeps shining on the ocean and 

105
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,520
the ocean keeps lifting the, you
know, the water out of the ocean

106
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,160
and it drops it on this 
mountain. 

107
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,760
And that's why there's water in 
the mountain. 

108
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,960
But you're right, there's some 
kind of natural limit. 

109
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,120
And I suppose there's a limit to
the amount of energy I can pull 

110
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,280
off of this dam. 
But it's a large number. 

111
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,960
It's a lot more than your donkey
cart and it's a lot more than 

112
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,480
your steam, you know, wood 
stove. 

113
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,640
And it's a lot more than your 
coal power plant. 

114
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,920
And maybe it's a lot cleaner 
than burning, you know, 

115
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,560
gasoline. 
So I'm an engineer and you're 

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,920
seeing, you're seeing 
performance thinking it's random

117
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,160
and that's why it's going to 
stop. 

118
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,040
And you're seeing volatility and
you're thinking it's random and 

119
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,240
maybe it'll stop. 
And, and, and here with Bitcoin,

120
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,920
the reason Bitcoin's performing 
is, is a, it's volatile, but B, 

121
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,840
it's more, it's a more energy 
efficient state. 

122
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:34,920
The water is flowing down 5000 
feet because it's more, it's a 

123
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,040
lower energy state, 1000 feet 
below the mountain. 

124
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,800
You know, it's a, it's a low 
energy state. 

125
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,520
You've got potential energy in 
the water and it wants to go to 

126
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,440
ground. 
And that's just physics. 

127
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,120
The 500 trillion gallons of 
water is $500 trillion and the 

128
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,880
$500 trillion of assets are 
sitting in real estate and 

129
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,960
currency and and sovereign bonds
and corporate bonds and artwork 

130
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,560
and equity. 
And they're they're invested in 

131
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,680
the stock of a company in Africa
that's going bankrupt. 

132
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,680
Here's what matters. 
Sailor isn't predicting price, 

133
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,400
he's explaining direction. 
Capital moves from weak to 

134
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,320
strong, unstable to stable, 
politically managed to 

135
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,160
structurally fixed. 
And as he explains, volatility 

136
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,120
is not failure, it's just the 
result of this moving waterfall 

137
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,040
of his. 
And MicroStrategy understood 

138
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,280
that very early, earlier than 
most, which is probably why they

139
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,280
don't time their entries and why
they don't stop buying. 

140
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,480
They identified the lowest 
energy monetary state and they 

141
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,280
aligned with it. 
I think at some point you know 

142
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,000
the the general sentiment will 
flip from being short to being 

143
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,080
long and we'll have a face 
ripping rally. 

144
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,200
NI just can't tell you when. 
Now here's where this stops 

145
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,040
being a Bitcoin only 
conversation. 

146
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,480
Did you know that during the 
time of this recording, the 

147
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,000
World Economic Forum is meeting 
this week in Davos? 

148
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,800
The World Economic Forum, Yes. 
In Davos, Yes. 

149
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,400
Is that like the annual meeting 
featuring all the world's 

150
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,560
prominent thought leaders in 
finance and economics that takes

151
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,160
place in Davos, Switzerland? 
Yes, this week at the World 

152
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,760
Economic Forum, the tone wasn't 
optimistic. 

153
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,800
It was defensive. 
And one of the clearest 

154
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,920
admissions came from Bridgewater
Capital's Ray Dalia. 

155
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,560
Take a look. 
The monetary order is breaking 

156
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,720
down OK. 
What I mean by the monetary 

157
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:34,559
order is that Fiat currencies as
and and debt as a store hold of 

158
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:40,080
wealth is not being held by 
central banks in the same way. 

159
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,080
And that there was a change. 
The biggest market to move last 

160
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,800
year was the gold market, far 
better than the tech markets and

161
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,520
so and so on. 
And the US markets 

162
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:57,440
underperformed foreign markets 
because of the fact you could 

163
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,400
see it in the numbers of the 
central banks and so on. 

164
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,160
So let's just look at the fact 
that on the other side of trade 

165
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:11,000
deficits and trade wars, our 
capital and capital wars. 

166
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,320
And so as we're looking at that 
and you reported what the stock 

167
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,680
market and so on, but you didn't
report that the gold market is 

168
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,880
also up three we. 
Did say that earlier this 

169
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,160
morning. 
It's up the record level. 

170
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,280
Again. 
And over. 

171
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,920
If you look at the what is 
happening and why it's happening

172
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,440
and who's buying it. 
So let's let's just take a 

173
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,600
moment on that capital war 
issue, OK? 

174
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:40,840
We know that both the holders of
U.S. dollar denominated debt at 

175
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,760
which is money and the those who
need it, the United States are 

176
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,440
worried about each other, right?
So if you have other countries 

177
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,880
who are holding it and they're 
worried about each other and 

178
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,360
we're producing a lot of it, 
that's a big issue, right? 

179
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,600
So you have to explain what is 
going on with Fiat currencies, 

180
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,600
generally speaking. 
And now if you take the 

181
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:11,320
conflicts, you can't ignore the 
possibility that capital wars, 

182
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,280
in other words, maybe there's 
not the same inclination to buy 

183
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,120
U.S. debt. 
And So what we at least need to 

184
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,360
talk about those possibilities 
and find out who is buying and 

185
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,720
selling what that is behind 
these market movements. 

186
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,480
And what capital wars? 
This is critical, and I know 

187
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,480
Dollar wasn't endorsing Bitcoin 
in this clip, but he's 

188
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,200
explaining why Fiat credibility 
is eroding when monetary trust 

189
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,560
breaks, trade wars turn into 
capital wars, reserves shift and

190
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:44,600
debt becomes weaponized and 
capital starts searching for 

191
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,680
something outside that system. 
That doesn't that sound like the

192
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,760
same waterfall, if not very 
similar to the waterfall that 

193
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,080
Sailor describes, just viewed 
from the top instead of the 

194
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,200
bottom. 
You know, from Davos, because 

195
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,520
Davos is up in the mountains and
it's still has waterfall coming 

196
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,080
down from the mountains, you 
know, anyway, also happening at 

197
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,960
Davos, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink 
highlights how trust is breaking

198
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,840
down from traditional outlets 
like the World Economic Forum. 

199
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,440
Just take a look. 
We believe that outside the 

200
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,960
United Nations this is the 
largest gathering of global 

201
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,360
leadership of the post COVID 
period of time. 

202
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,440
For many people, this feeding 
feels out of step with the 

203
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,640
moment. 
We hear all about the the 

204
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,440
elites. 
And how does that play out in 

205
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,760
the age of populism? 
How does an established 

206
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,880
institution make a difference in
a era of deep institutional 

207
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,240
mistrust? 
And there's some truth to the 

208
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,960
critique. 
I believe in this forum for a 

209
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,520
long time. 
I certainly wouldn't be leading 

210
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,000
this if I didn't believe that we
can change and make the world 

211
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,760
better. 
But it's also obvious that the 

212
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:09,120
world now places far less trust 
in us to help shape what comes 

213
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,080
next. 
If the World Economic Forum is 

214
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,800
going to be useful going 
forward, it has to regain that 

215
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,920
trust. 
And to add more fuel to the 

216
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,680
economic fire, here's Coinbase's
CEO Brian Armstrong speaking in 

217
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,240
Is It Davos? 
Oh yes, it's Davos about how 

218
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,560
banks are going to need to 
compete for their customers 

219
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:32,240
going forward. 
Take a look. 

220
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,240
Banks should have to compete on 
a level playing field, and if 

221
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,480
the American people feel like 
the banks are not paying high 

222
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,080
enough interest rates and 
stablecoin rewards can offer 

223
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,080
them more than maybe the bank 
should have to pay higher 

224
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,360
interest rates to compete, 
right? 

225
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,240
I don't think there should be 
any protectionism, do you? 

226
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,360
Think that that was put in 
directly for the banks, that was

227
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,040
lobbied by the banks and put in.
Yes. 

228
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,800
So in the wake of our 
institutions breaking down, what

229
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,200
happens if some real world wars 
happen, or sanctions or 

230
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,640
blackouts start to occur? 
Will you be prepared? 

231
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,360
SAT 123.com provides satellite 
phones that work when local 

232
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,880
infrastructure institutions and 
nations do not. 

233
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,800
If you don't have signal, if you
don't have infrastructure, it's 

234
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,280
no problem. 
These phones connect directly to

235
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,120
satellites, meaning that you 
still have communication even 

236
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,800
when everyone else goes dark.

Bitcoin teaches you one thing 
really early and that's 

239
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,040
redundancy is 
paramountandsat123.com is 

240
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,720
redundancy for communication. 
And you know what redundancy 

241
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,200
makes me think of? 
Backups. 

242
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,560
Accidental lost seed phrases and
clumsy backups are how people 

243
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:36,800
get wiped out. 
And if you are serious about 

244
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,400
self custodying your Bitcoin and
you want confidence instead of 

245
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,400
fear, you got to check out the

00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,920
consultation. 
Because if you're going to take 

256
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,400
self custody of your Bitcoin, 
you need to do it with 

257
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,640
confidence and not with fear. 
So let's zoom out. 

258
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,080
This isn't just one or two 
voices from economic 

259
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,080
powerhouses. 
This is kind of like alignment. 

260
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,560
Here's another clip from Rick 
Worster of Charles Schwab, the 

261
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,280
CEO of Charles Schwab. 
You know, they managed $12 

262
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,040
trillion assets under 
management. 

263
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,240
Talking about what kind of 
adoption he sees with his 

264
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,720
clients currently. 
Take a look. 

265
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,280
Yes, we've been active in both. 
So in crypto, we, we do offer 

266
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,480
crypto ETFs, Bitcoin futures, 
closed end funds. 

267
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,320
In fact our clients own 20% of 
all the crypto exchange traded 

268
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,680
products in our country. 
So they've been very active. 

269
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,640
We've seen visits to our crypto 
site go up 90% in the last year.

270
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,960
It's it's a topic that's of high
engagement. 

271
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,280
And for privates, we have made 
private investments available to

272
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,880
our clients. 
We've done through through third

273
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,040
party managers like KKR and 
Apollo and folks like that. 

274
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,600
And we've also stood up a team 
of alternative experts. 

275
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,360
If you want to invest in 
alternatives at Schwab, you're 

276
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,120
going to need to talk to a 
professional, make sure they're 

277
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,320
right for you, and to make sure 
you find the right strategy for 

278
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,640
for. 
You you even have Vice President

279
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,640
JD Vance going on national 
television and stating how 

280
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,640
digital assets are now a 
permanent part of our economy. 

281
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,680
The consistent fear that I hear 
is that there's still this 

282
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,920
perception that digital assets 
are not welcome in the 

283
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,000
mainstream economy. 
And let me promise you that our 

284
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,520
effort to change the policy is 
purely about changing that. 

285
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,440
We want our fellow Americans to 
know that crypto and digital 

286
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,560
assets, and particularly 
Bitcoin, are part of the 

287
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,960
mainstream economy and are here 
to stay. 

288
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,840
So let me just point out these 
are not Bitcoin maximalists. 

289
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,280
These are institutions adjusting
under pressure. 

290
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,440
So let's bring it back to 
strategy and why their purchase 

291
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,040
of yet again more Bitcoin 
matters so much. 

292
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,680
It seems that while everyone 
else debated narratives, Sailor 

293
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,320
tapped into the future and 
understood very early where this

294
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,000
was all headed. 
Now he's told this $500 million 

295
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,440
melting ice cube story many 
times on many podcasts, and for 

296
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,920
good reason. 
It shouldn't be forgotten. 

297
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,760
This is the reason why Strategy 
will likely be one of the most 

298
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,720
successful companies for the 
foreseeable future because 

299
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Sailor saw in Bitcoin a solution
to his problem and now Strategy 

300
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,000
owns over 700,000 Bitcoin 
700,000. 

301
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,480
Can you believe that banks are 
preparing for custody? 

302
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,040
Governments are reframing policy
with the upcoming Clarity Act 

303
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,760
Corporations are experimenting 
with all kinds of different 

304
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,800
rails. 
MicroStrategy didn't front run 

305
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,480
the markets with Bitcoin. 
It escaped A failing system. 

306
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,760
So here's the clip notes of what
might push you over the edge to 

307
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,720
start studying Bitcoin if you 
haven't already. 

308
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,640
If institutions are 
repositioning and banks are 

309
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,680
preparing, governments are 
reframing and capital keeps 

310
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,000
flowing in, then zero Bitcoin 
exposure is no longer neutral. 

311
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,319
It's freaking dangerous, man. 
The way to de risk this and the 

312
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:12,599
way to promote progress and 
growth is to go out and act on 

313
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:14,760
your principles. 
Don't be afraid. 

314
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,839
Listen, everyone's afraid of 
risk, but there's risk 

315
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:20,800
everywhere. 
You know what's riskier than 

316
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,119
buying Bitcoin? 
Not buying Bitcoin. 

317
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,520
What's riskier than buying 
Bitcoin is not buying Bitcoin. 

318
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,520
Right. 
It's a bet that this entire 

319
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,000
convergence reverses, and 
history doesn't really favor 

320
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,520
that bet. 
This isn't about Bitcoin 

321
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,680
winning, it's about the old 
system losing coherence. 

322
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,760
Saylor explained the mechanism. 
Dalio confirmed the fracture 

323
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,880
institutions are following the 
flow. 

324
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,880
The waterfall doesn't announce 
itself, it just keeps moving. 

325
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,320
Now, if you were to go beyond 
the headlines, price charts, and

326
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,520
surface level Bitcoin takes that
I just love to do, then you need
