LAWRENCE LEPARD: "This is one of the best investment opportunities out there. It actually is the best in my opinion, if you can handle the volatility... having a zero allocation to it is just absolutely nuts." "When you buy into a network that's going to get adopted by [Spoken audio]: This is one of the best investment opportunities out there. It's not the best. It actually is the best, in my opinion, if you can handle the volatility and that therefore, you know, that having a zero allocation to it is just absolutely nuts. I mean, what I spent a lot of my time not talking to young people more, it's funny. It's interesting. I think your generation gets it much more so than my generation. I've, you know, obviously, I hang around with people that are my generation and they don't get it. I mean, most of them don't get it. It's a Ponzi. They think it's bullshit, whatever they, you know, gold people can't touch it and feel it. They don't understand that all money is a ledger. And there are all kinds of objections to it. And I just try to point out to them, oh, look, it's incredibly asymmetric. You know, I think it's going to grow up 10x and then 10x again. So, you know, you can afford to lose 2% of your net worth. You know, why don't you put 2% of your net worth in it? And if it goes up 10x twice, you know, that's then 200% of your net worth. You know what I mean? And so you'll be very glad you did it. And whereas if you put zero in, you don't get that ride. So, you know, it's, I don't know. I mean, I was saying to somebody the other day, I mean, it feels to me, and like Sailor says it, you know, he's made, he made a lot of money. You know, he made himself a billionaire, partly his company, but also partly because he made huge investments in network businesses. He was a big investor in, you know, Amazon and Facebook and so on and so forth. These businesses, networks that are Apple, the networks that everybody needs and people don't fully understand and that are gonna grow in adoption to kind of the entire world, they're the best investments in the history of mankind. I mean, I went back and I studied, if you bought Ford Motor Company on the IPO and held it to the day, you'd have done well or I don't know, General Electric or Warehouse or any of the great Johnson and Johnson, any of the great American companies have done extremely well. but over the course of 50, 60, 70 years. And when the internet came along, it created these network businesses. And it's just stunning. I mean, the internet really only got going in 2000, even then it was still kind of nascent. So we're 25 years into it. And you've got Googles up 22,000%. That's crazy. I mean, there's never been anything like it. So when you buy into a network that's gonna get adopted by everybody, returns are just insane. And you know, my opinion is that Bitcoin is the monetary network of the future. And even though today it's still kind of stumbling along and not that many people have adopted it, it ultimately will be adopted by everybody. And when it is, you know, guess what, you know, these are 5 million a coin or more. So because it's a fixed supply. I mean, the other thing is we all talk about, you know, Other people don't understand is we've never really had anything in the world that was this scarce Supply of every other commodity even every other stock. I mean, you know, they can issue more stock But they're you know, they're 21 million of these things. That's a and so, you know Like it kind of breaks the human brain because as you know, Giovanni who's on on X slash Twitter, you know, it's a great job. But the human brain just doesn't really understand exponentials that well. And so, I mean, Bitcoin is 10X the number of times. It went from one to 10, 10 to 100, 100 to 1,000, 1,000 to 10,000, 10,000 to 100,000. Well, guess what's next? It's going from 100 to a million, then it's going from 1 million to 10 million. Now, you know, each of those 10X, each of those, you know, orders of magnitude took longer and that's okay, because as you would expect, as it seeps out and gets more widely adopted, it becomes less volatile. But until I see evidence that adoption is slowing, I don't see any of that. Until I see evidence that adoption is slowing, and I just wanna stay parked on this train because I just know where it's going. But it's very hard. I mean, if you're chasing money, if you don't understand what it is, if you're chasing last year's gains, et cetera, I mean, it'd be easy to step off the train. I mean, I, you know, a good, a good analysis of it is Amazon, you know, Amazon did the same thing. I mean, it started off the, I remember when we started selling books, it's like, who cares about buying books online? You know? Well, now he sells absolutely everything to everybody, everywhere in the world. And, you know, and, and, and yet Amazon had, you know, 15 corrections, some of which were as deep as 90%, many of which were over 50%. And yet, you know, if you bought the Amazon stock at the bottom of one of those corrections, you were very glad that you did, you know? And that's in a 25-year window. You know, Bitcoin, we're in a 16-year window. So, and in my opinion, there were a lot greater risks 10 years ago. I mean, you know, you had fork wars, you had protocol wars, you had, like, you know, we didn't know what the government was gonna do, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, a lot of the risks have gotten stripped away from it. New ones have emerged, the quantum one is there, but I don't think it's, I really, I have zero concern about quam. You know, some of the protocol stuff on, you know, the ordinals and stuff, that kind of bugs me. I think that's noise, but it's annoying. But I mean, to me, this is the monetary network of the future. And so if you look at it in those terms and you can skip, you know, worrying about ups and downs and you just DCA over a period of time, I just don't see how people who own this thing aren't gonna become out, you know, they're gonna be so much wealthier than everybody else. By the way, same is true to a set of gold and silver. And that's because we are in this fourth turning where the kicking of the can down the road on this government behavior, and we're coming to the end of that road. I mean, we saw it, my book's the big print. The first one was 08. They printed 3 trillion, it took four years. COVID, they printed 5 trillion, it took 18 months. Let's see the pattern. It's gonna be bigger than five and it's gonna come like wham, like, you know, there's gonna be a panic. Everything's collapsing. The government's gonna say, no worry, we got it, we're stepping in here. I mean, actually, I kind of thought it was gonna happen with Silicon Valley Bank because there was talk about a nice one run on the bank and Janet Yellen came out and floated the idea of guaranteeing all bank deposits. I mean, remember the people in power, the people that run the government, their major goal is to keep themselves in power and to keep the system running. They don't care about inflation. They say they do, but they don't. And they lied to us about that. And we know that if and when, you know, the sharp end of the stick comes for them, they're gonna print the money to keep, you know, to keep things going. And so, you know, that's that, and you know that, I know that, Bitcoiners know that, gold and silver bugs know that. Sadly, we're less than 5% of America, you know. And other, you know, the rest of America has to learn that. And, you know, they will in time, I think.
