AI, Bitcoin, Privacy, and the Future of Money

[Part 1 of 6] [David] [00:00] Orange worth a digital credit this year. And the most successful IPO of the year was stretch. It's STRC. It was two and a half billion dollars. I couldn't have done any of it without AI. If if we had not had AI, we would be $8 billion less. We had five IPOs. None of them would have happened because I used AI to design the securities and solve all the tax problems and all the securities law issues. You know, so I like I'm a big believer in using AI to design new things. And look, I'm just I I focus upon digital credit and security, but there's someone there thinking about how to make the car drive and cure cancer and like like aren't there like 100 million problems the human race has to solve that we that you're like, well, you're going to need a thousand people with PhD to solve that. Well, guess what? Now every 16-year-old has a thousand PhDs at their fingertips and some I'm very bullish the world's going to be a much better place and and we're going to see an age of empowerment and abundance because of the digital technology. [Caller] [01:08] People are greedy when they also try to acquire gold. Not really. I mean, people who buy gold are trying to preserve. I mean, for centuries, we have centuries of people being greedy to go ahead and acquire gold. [David] [01:19] Well, no, well, you're talking about to acquire wealth. Yes, people are greedy in that they want they want more things and there's nothing wrong with that. But when they're converting what they've earned into gold, that's not the greedy part. That's the preservation part. I I I I've earned all this money because I was greedy. Now I don't want to lose it. I want to store it so I can use it later. I don't want to blow it all right now. I want to hold on to it. And, you know, gold is a way to do that. You can't really do that in a fiat currency that's just being printed, you know, into oblivion. So, uh, but but but, you know, the the greed is in the speculative frenzy that accompanies Bitcoin. [Caller] [02:02] They tell me that I'm the reason they own Bitcoin because they listened to me years ago about economics, about sound money and and and the Fed and inflation. And I'm the one that got them. Plus there's a lot of technology in Midnight that's going to make the use of Cardano safer. Like Midnight password will be the fastest, safest and easiest way to use Cardano. So, we gain all the usability and enhanced security. Plus I'd argue Midnight is an essential component for Bitcoin. Bitcoin users, when you look at that side of it, you're like, okay, Bitcoin users, they want privacy. So, Cardano could do a lot of the heavy lifting on the programming side, but where it's the private coordination layer is this for all that. So, we're actually working on this program, our Bitcoin D5 setup, we call it the the circle. So, you start with Bitcoin and tap root. I'm going to put 50 Bitcoin of my own money into this free thing. It works. But you start with tap root and uh Bitcoin, you lend it to a stable coin. So, that'll flow through Cardano through a specialized transaction through these token bridge. And then that stable coin would then be deployed into a yield bearing instrument. And then as you make the yield, the yield is converted to Bitcoin. And then it's sent to your tap root. And then Midnight coordinates all of that in this private. So, you have like all three networks working together and you have this circle and then from a Bitcoin user's perspective, you just give them a button to make money. Click the button. And then it locks their Bitcoin and you start generating a yield. The security actually is entered the tap root on the Bitcoin network. So, it meets my three rules that I have for Bitcoin D5. One, there's only Bitcoin. Bitcoin, Litecoin is better money than than fiat obviously. It's also better money than gold. I I think it's I believe it's the best form of money that um humans have ever come across. Right? Money being good being that it's um it's inflation proof, right? No one, no single person, company or or government can print more money. Right? Can't print money and then take away the money you're recording. Uh, you're storing. Right? That's kind of one of the key things about money is if you work hard and you make money, you don't want that money to kind of disappear with time not from your own doing. Right? So, that's that's key and Bitcoin, Litecoin and uh most cryptocurrencies um is able to to do that. [David] [04:22] I could have the argument that real estate's better than Bitcoin. For a number of reasons, by the way, depending on who you are. Um, your audience could probably disagree because they're probably a bunch of, you know, Bitcoin maximalists. They don't have as much Bitcoin as the real estate guy, by the way. [Caller] [04:39] No, I I'll tell you right now, hold on one second. See, that's the funny thing, dude. That's me and my brother were talking about this yesterday. You know, the guys that know the most seem to have the least. [David] [04:51] 100%. That that I can probably agree with you on. I think it should be a bigger issue within the crypto system and the ecosystem. What do you think? [Caller] [05:00] I think it will be. I think privacy is going to be the the new if you want to in my view, and this is what I'm tasking the investment professionals at Nailstrom to sort of figure out. I think that the stand out shitcoin or, you know, few shitcoins of 2026 to 2028 will be related some way shape or form to privacy. We already saw the, you know, amazing move of Zcash over the last few months. Yes, it's down 50% from the 780 high, but I think again, my goal is, you know, my mental model is 10 to 20% the value of Bitcoin, that's Zcash. Um, and so much higher than where it is today. But, you know, you know, taking away Zcash, what is the token project or protocol that's going to utilize some privacy technology, I'll be something related to ZK or knowledge proofs to do something whether that's quantum resistant, you know, the overlord can't deanonymize their data or, you know, see what you're doing, whatever it is, right? These are the things that we're latently afraid of of of what bad things that could happen with this proliferation of Big Tech, Big Government and [Caller] [06:09] Donald Trump getting elected and knowing that we share friends in the White House for all the populist parties of Europe who are under attack. Every single populist leader. If you look at the leaders, and my last documentary was called Silence. I got 18 months in prison for my last documentary. The reason I aired it was because the documentary was so bigger than me. It's exactly what they do in lawfare has been waged against if you go through, I'll pick any. [David] [06:34] What first got you excited about blockchains? Think about it. Oh wait. I bet it wasn't multi-million dollar hacks, exposed data, or finding somewhere safe to store your seed phrase. Was it? Maybe it was the idea of decentralizing a broken financial system. Maybe it was imagining a world where people own their own data and get to sharing the value it creates. [Music] [07:03] For maybe it was the promise of a fundamentally better way of connecting, communicating and transacting. The next phase of the internet that empowers us instead of exploiting us. So, why hasn't it happened yet? Where we're still living with the same broken system that blockchains promised to fix. It's because blockchains can't keep a secret. Enabling open transparent systems was only the first half of the challenge. For blockchains to really change the world, they also have to be able to protect our sensitive data when it matters. And that's why we build Midnight to bring down the final barrier to mass adoption and unlock the full potential of the decentralized web. Let's build the internet we deserve. Together.

[Music] [08:36] This is Houston. T minus one minute until full data blackout. All eyes are on you. [Music] [08:52] Breaking news. There is an astronaut conducting an emergency repair on a global communication satellite that could go dark at any moment. We have a second angle on this. [Caller] [09:02] Is that guy in FOMO? [David] [09:04] Oh, yeah, it's like me for crazy. [Caller] [09:06] Yeah, let's get back to it, everybody. [Music] [09:22] Breaking news. There is an astronaut conducting an emergency repair on a global communication satellite that could go dark at any moment. We have a second angle on this. [Music] [09:29] Opportunity is simply this. Every position you take is a position you choose over something else. [Music] [09:43] This just in, according to the astronaut's FOMO account, highest in the room, the satellite has been restored. [Music] [09:51] Yes. For now, the crisis appears to be over. [Music] [10:08] Satellite's up and running. Positions looking good too. [Music] [10:20] There we go. United States of America representing. [Caller] [10:27] Socialism does not work. [David] [10:29] Digital assets is a better to move money at the speed of light. [Caller] [10:33] People are greedy when they also try to acquire gold. [David] [10:36] I'm here providing electricity. And that energy that is necessary. [Caller] [10:41] I am the modern day Tony Stark. [Music] [10:46] Yes, I'm glad to be back. Yes, I'm glad to be back. [Music] [10:53] Um, [David] [10:57] Hello and good morning. If it's morning on your time and good afternoon on the East Coast. You're tuned in to the breakdown episode 8. 802. Why am I laughing? Sponsored by Midnight, also Polymarket, Cake Wallet and FOMO. Shout out to everybody. Let's give everybody a round of applause. Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. I did. Uh, I've been having technical difficulties the entire time. I've been trying to get on here so I can show my face to you guys. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Like I've been been trying but everything was working against me. But I said, no, I shall not waver. I will continue to move forward. Uh, we have at 12:45, we have um Evan Prosper coming on. He's a meme coin trader and we're going to have a cool discussion and then if Landy, he's in the green room, if he hangs around, we'll go ahead and maybe have a discussion with him. We know he's a busy person. And he has a show tonight at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Did his Buffalo Bills play? I got to look if the Buffalo Bills played. From now on, like every single time the Buffalo Bills lose, I'm just going to Oh, they played tonight, he said. Every time the Buffalo Bills lose, I'm going to come on like Stephen A. Smith. I'm going to do that video of like him laughing. The same way he laughs every single time the Dallas Cowboys lose. That's what I'm going to do from now on. Uh, obviously the Giants and Washington Commanders, such a stupid name. But uh, the Commanders and the the Giants uh, tie, tie, tie, tie. 27 to 27. Man, I really thought the Giants were going to win 30 to 27. I was in the chat. X has the chat, like you can join into the chat and have discussions with like people that are Giants fans and Commanders fans and we were going at it. And people like the Commanders fans were like, yo, you guys are cooked. I'm like, no, man. I know James is going to come through in the clutch. He was on fire, man. It wasn't James, it was not I got to say, James played his ass off. James played his ass off. Okay, that fumble, whatever, he was trying to make a play. Other than that, what is he like the first Giant to ever rush for like I think over 25 yards, throw three touchdowns, no interceptions. Like some crazy stat. 102 years the Giants have been around and he was the first quarterback to do that. So, shout out to James Winston. Always getting a bad rap. I like the experience. I like the experience, James. Whoa, no diddy. Caught myself there, no diddy. Um, I worked out today, cuz I'm back to doing two-a-days. I'm right now, like I I worked an hour while I was trying to get everything up and running. I was working out and I don't feel my arms. I really do not feel my arms. So, if you see me like like like laboring to lift my arms, just know. I was putting in the work. Holy shit. I I'm happy to be back. Obviously, weekend, great. Uh, by the way, for those who are doing taxes, uh, October 15th is the deadline. So, if you took an extension, make it snappy. You got three days to go ahead and get that shit done. Um, we'll talk a lot about, obviously, we'll talk about digital assets, we'll talk about AI. I got a few things to touch on on that topic. Uh, you know, David Gokhshtein might now be an author. That's right. I might be an author now. Uh, my book is coming out. I'm going to make the official announcement. My book is coming out. That's right. My book is coming out. And it's AI related. It has nothing to do with digital assets. That book is still being written, but I have a book on you could say super intelligence coming out. That's right. Super intelligence book coming out. Really for beginners. And it's really about my experience using AI or super intelligence because I don't want to say AI too much cuz then my boy Trump, he's going to say that I'm the enemy of the state. And I ain't no I am a proud American. That's right. Boys and girls, I'm a proud American. I support our veterans, I support I support our military. Uh, we'll also talk about Hunter Biden was on the show, obviously, Friday. Um, that was a you know, we had um, we had Peter Schiff, we had Lark Davis, we had Grant Cardone, we had obviously Hunter Biden. We got a lot more people uh, coming on to the show. I'm smiling because you know what, I I don't want to give away the secrets as to how we are getting such notable names on the show. Um, but shout out to my team. Shout out to the three to four members in the PR team from Gokhshtein PR for working their asses off to get these people onto the show so we can have conversations. So, shout out. That's a around of applause. I can literally tell you guys that what has it been? It's been it's been um, I I would probably say it's been more than a year since I reconstructed the company and I had to look at myself, I had to look at the company and I started to learn about AI at a deeper level, not just, hey, I'm going to use AI uh, to clean up some clean up my grammar here or or ask AI a question. I I really I really started studying it and understood the mission. Understood like what super intelligence could do uh, for me from every aspect, from a personal perspective, from a business perspective. And now we are a year into that and AI really does run my company. I would say around 80 to 90% of my company is run by AI. And you wouldn't even know it. You wouldn't even know it, but and it's taken hard work cuz you can't just say, okay, I'm going to plug in an AI agent to do this. Like that's not how it works. I think people have the wrong uh, concept of you can just plug and play. No, like you have to actually build that AI agent to do that job that you're assigning it. And it takes a while. Hallucinations that happen with AI. It takes a while. And just recently, AI got or super intelligence got smarter. It's not just like, oh, you know, AI was always this smart. No. Think back to, you know, 2021 or 2022, whenever AI was introduced to us till now. And there is a huge difference. Absolutely a huge fucking difference. So, and the models that they they just keep coming out. I know Anthropic's coming out with 5.2 in terms of fable. So, we'll see how that looks. I have to say, the biggest comeback the biggest comeback has been from Open AI, ChatGPT. I thought Anthropic cooked cooked Open AI. But Open AI has made a tremendous comeback. They're neck and neck. If you were to ask me which one I would use, I'd use both of them for good reason because I think Anthropic is really good at coding uh, and I think Open AI is getting there, might be almost there, but it's but but it's really good at other stuff that Anthropic isn't. So, I I don't want I I'll dive into it. Again, there's a book that will be hitting uh, for beginners. I really again, I really wrote down my experiences of using it and how bad I was with prompting. Like if you ask me to create a prompt a year ago, and then you ask me to create a a prompt now, totally totally different. I I understand the game now. I've learned enough to understand the game. So, anyway, went on a little little run there. Hopefully, Evan joins us at 12:45 p.m. Uh, and we'll go ahead and discuss we'll discuss the meme economy. We'll discuss trading the meme economy. We'll discuss what he sees. Hold on, I'm looking at the green room. I have Landy writing. Bills versus Rams. Well, you know the Rams are well, I don't know. Rams really don't have they don't have y'all traded for Miles. He's not available. And of course, of course my TV goes, of course the monitor goes out. Of course. Why wouldn't the monitor go out? Particularly when I'm about to go live. We'll go live with Ethan in the next two minutes. But what what he now that you have a book, you can finally be accepted into the Bitcoin Maxis spaces. Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah, I'm going to sit there and like talk about some random bullshit with these guys. I I can't, man. I can't never. You know, I have a we have a love affair, me and Bitcoin Maxis. I I'm glad to be a Bitcoiner. I could never see myself being a Bitcoin Maxi, being that toxic, screaming at people, yelling, talking about furniture. I can never do that, man. I can never. It can't be me, man. It can never be me. Could be Landy, it can't be me. Let's see if I can get the monitor up here. I'm sure this is going to be a I'm sure this is going to it's going to mess with me the entire time. Um, let me just switch the overlay. We'll switch the overlay and then we'll break into other uh, aspects of what I want to talk about in terms of super intelligence. I'm going to say super intelligence cuz I do not want to get arrested by President Trump for going against his new goddamn label for AI. All right, let's bring in Ethan. Ethan, what's going on? How's everything going, man? [Guest: Ethan] [20:04] Hey, David. Nice to meet you. [David] [20:06] Nice to meet you too, man. Cash no finance, man. That just came out of thin air? [Guest: Ethan] [20:11] Thin air. I mean, it is true. All cash, no finance. [David] [20:15] When you said that, um, when you said that in that clip when I seen it, I laughed. I thought it was I thought it was funny. Uh, absolutely uh, made the rounds on on the internet. All right, Ethan, you you've been killing it in the in the trenches. Have you not? [Guest: Ethan] [20:33] I mean, yeah, I would say so. There are obviously a lot of people doing better than me, but I try and get better every day. [David] [20:40] When did you uh, first start trading memes? [Guest: Ethan] [20:44] So, I started about a year and a half ago, um, while I was in college and broke and my entire family fell apart, so I needed to find a really good way to make money and lock in. And Hawk Tua had rugged a coin and then there was like a coin that someone created called Straight to Prison. Made me laugh. I chucked like $200 in and then the rest was history. I watched videos and just kept going. [David] [20:08] What was your Okay, so Hawk Tua, that's funny. Imagine that event, that that was an event. Uh, that lasted for like what was it? 5, 10 minutes and then everything went to shit. And uh, and then there was 19 spaces open. Uh, you know, it was like people's court assessing what happened. [Guest: Ethan] [20:25] Yeah, there's like Coffee Zilla one. That one was crazy and she was like, oh, I don't know what I'm doing. [David] [20:31] I was reporting uh, and I was just listening in. I remember Coffee Zilla coming in. She couldn't even find the people that, oh, who who was it? Doc Hollywood, I think, was in there trying to uh, basically assess the damage. But, okay, so how much did you, you don't have to disclose, but you made a good penny on the straight to prison. [Guest: Ethan] [20:52] Not even. I mean, I put $200 in and this was at the time where you join like Telegram groups and raid and like join those like little voice chats and everything. So, the market's a lot different now, but I think I three-xed it. I made like $600 or $700, but I was like, damn, like I was DJing at the time and that's how much I'd make in like 20 hours over the course of three days and I just did it in like a minute off of like this. And I come from a sneaker reselling background. So, I used to sneaker reselling when I was really uh, to resell sneakers when I was really younger and I kind of felt like the same sort of thing and I was always like looking for something similar and this was like I I just immediately knew like, yeah, this this works. [David] [21:42] All right, so you make profit. You're like, now now you have a decision to make. Did you you know, continue to are you still in college or did you say like, you know, screw college, I'm going full-time into trading? [Guest: Ethan] [21:56] I dropped out like four or five months after that. But I was trading halfway while in college and out of college and like at the time, that trade was done on like Phantom and freaking Dex Screener. And then all these terminals started coming out. Then Bullocks came out and then Axium and now Terminal. Um, and like I was honestly just watching videos, educating myself and just trying and for the first like two months, I didn't really make much money, but I saw the potential, you know, like you're seeing Cupsy every single day make, you know, at the time it was literally $100,000 a day in front of your eyes and I'm like, damn, like I I need to figure this out. [David] [22:37] Do you think everybody can do that? [Guest: Ethan] [22:39] Trade like Cupsy or make $100,000 every day? [David] [22:42] $100,000 a day because that's that's the impression people get when they look at the timeline. Like if you were to first if it's your first time coming on to cuz everybody comes to X, right? Nobody I'm not saying nobody goes to Tik Tok or YouTube, um, or Instagram afterwards, but the first place people usually come to is X and and they see all these PNLs. They see these little video clips of people making stupid money, 50,000, 100,000, whatever it is.

[Part 2 of 6] [00:00] Do you think everybody can go ahead and do that? [00:02] [Guest: Name] I think anyone can do it, but I don't think that everyone can do it. [00:07] What do you need to do in order to go ahead and everybody can lock in, but what do you really need to go ahead and do in order to make that kind of money in the meme economy? [00:17] [Guest: Name] I think I think there's a certain part of like I guess a mix of like luck, talent, grit, and then just like, is it compatible with you? Like, so, while I was in this situation, I was $70,000 in debt, uh, in student loans, and then I was like lined up to get this like $50,000 a year job, which obviously, it's not, um, great. Um, but like, I I don't know. I I think that you're kind of like just put in this like space where like you see all these crazy like PNLs and people making a lot of money. And to be able to get there, like, you obviously need to be right place, right time. Um, I I think the grit part is where it's like, if you show up every single day, you're going to learn and you're going to learn and you're going to learn and no one just starts off good. So like a certain type of person might start this thinking they're going to make, you know, a lot of money every day and then they give up because they realize it's not that easy. Um, yeah, I don't I I think I I think anyone can do it and everything is possible, but it's definitely not as easy as it looks or as it makes it out to be. [01:36] Do you get pissed off when people say, well, you're only doing it because you're you might be in Alpha chat groups to where you can get first hand I guess knowledge of something about to pop off. Do you get do you get offended by that because for instance, if I'm going hard at something, if I'm locked in and I'm doing my own research and I understand trends and everything and I'm jumping in and I'm taking losses also. It's not I'm not winning 100% of the time. [02:05] [Guest: Name] I've seen your trades. I've seen your trades. I think you're first. [02:07] I I can't no, no, I can't trade front facing. Like these I have assassins watching me, so they'll get in, they'll buy 20% bundle and then they're slamming me. You know, privately I can trade because like no, okay, like you don't know what I'm getting into and you're not going to get 30% to go ahead and spread around and destroy me. Like that that's the game I'm in right now. It's like, yo, we're going to oh, he goes in, boom, we're going to get him. Back in the days, I'm doing doge, let's say for instance, I'm going back in the days. Front phrase front facing I can talk about dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, all that stuff when I was killing it. Nowadays, this new, I don't know, this new era of trading, I really do feel I love social fi, but it's it has its pros. For me, it has some cons. [02:52] [Guest: Name] Oh, 100%. But there's like a really important reminder is that to get to a point where people either like if you talk about follow you or are in group chats that can help you. And honestly, group chats don't really help that much. The only purpose of group chats is just to like help spread narratives, but if you just buy everything that someone says in a group chat, you're going to lose money because they're sending you something that they're already under, so, you know, anyways. Um, to get to that point, you have to be good in the first place for these people to let you into the group. It's like kind of like a chicken eats a egg paradox where it's like, again, when I first started for three months, I wasn't making any money. And then only when I started hitting like, you know, I think I made my first $10,000 on chain in a month, which was like at the time freaking crazy to me. Um, and now like I'm literally I I made that three times over in a trade yesterday. But to get to that point, like people need to you need to provide value to other people. And then for people to follow you, you need to provide value to other people. So, at the end of the day, like, yeah, there's a boost and yeah, it helps, but I think it does it doesn't make it unfair. It makes the game exponential. It makes it so that as you get better, like your you're getting better faster because you learn from other people. Like, I remember when I had started and I was still in college, uh, like three months in, I at first thought that it was fake. Like I would see all these PNLs and like, obviously, I'd made my like couple hundred bucks, but I thought it was luck because I wasn't figuring it out. And I was like really coping with that. And I was like DMing all these groups to try and get in because I was I was like thinking exactly what you thought. Yeah, it's an insider game, whatever, blah, blah, blah. I DM like 20 groups. Everyone's just like, bro, just keep going. Like, we're not going to help you. Like, who are you? Because I'm a random account with 100 followers. And then I started, you know, just building up a little bit of an audience. Not nothing like crazy, right? I I think I got to like 1,000 followers, 2,000 followers. And then I started DMing people, but I came across it from a different approach. I was like, hey, like, I already made X amount. Here's my wallet. Like I'm trying to learn, whatever. And then, you know, again, this is where the luck comes into play. I had DM this guy who I'd seen make literally $9 million on chain. His name was West. And at first, he ghosted me for a day and then I re-DMd him. And then he was like, yeah, sure. And then he added me to a call. It was like a group call. There were like five people in. And like all of these guys were all like having made six figures, seven figures off of meme coins. And in that call, I learned, just being around them and hearing the voices, I learned more than I had in the past three months. But now those calls are all public because they're all on Twitch and live stream. You can literally jump into a chat and listen to Cubsy and me and DV and all of these people like trade in front of you and and look at their thought process and thinking process and their coins. So, back then, I think it was actually more inaccessible because there wasn't that whole streaming thing. Um, but I don't know. When people say that, I think, okay, honestly, find something else because you're not going to make it with that mentality. [06:19] Yeah, I I wouldn't I I agree with you on the part where if you listen to everybody in a chat, and I don't I don't stay in a lot of chats at all. I I try to make sure that I'm not in any chats. But if you stay in every chat and people put in whatever it is that they think is going to go ahead and pop off, you most likely will go bankrupt. Like I I I've been there. And it's multiple cycles. Not just this cycle. Uh, which [06:42] [Guest: Name] I I don't even trade in Telegram chats. Like I I'm in them, but I don't I read them in case I missed a coin, but I don't actually like trade with those. [06:52] See what time it was called and see, you know, if you're up or not to go ahead and get into it. Um, but this cycle is very rotational. So, are we going to see so my biggest thing is I've been harping about the meme economy. I don't believe what is being pushed out here currently right now is memes. I think it's just scratch off tickets, which is fine. People can make money off of them. I have nothing against that. Where I come from, or I guess my perspective is Pepe is a real meme, right? Mosquitoes fucking each other to me, I I can't wrap my head around it. It could be funny, I guess, but it it doesn't have that meme lore that like other things do have that aren't that are on chain where people are actually holding. But right now, holding doesn't get you anywhere. It it seems like there is a big time rotate it's it's all about rotation. Stay and people aren't willing to stay or or hold anything past 10 minutes. It just there was a report that came out that people hold for like 43 seconds. Some some shit like that. Do you think we get out of this mindset once we get into the actual bull run? Because we're not from all, uh, from all perspectives, I don't think we're in a in a bull market yet. We're in a pre-bull market. There's not enough liquidity here. You can see nothing can get no token. What was it? Only six to seven tokens went to 20 million. The rest can hardly get past a 500k. Some maybe tap 750 on average. So right now, it's all a rotational game. Do you think it continues to be this way or do you do you think we get out of here and we finally at some point start holding and get more X's when we trade within the economy? [08:35] [Guest: Name] I I think I think it'll it'll always be like a pendulum. So I saw it I saw Soul at 250 when I started all the way down to $50 and now we're back at like what, 110, 120. [08:48] I think 110. [08:49] [Guest: Name] And and like I've seen markets where people were holding for days and you had these crazy only up runners like Jelly Jelly and whatnot. And then I I'm also seen the literally most hyper rotational market that's even more rotational than what we have right now. I think that from my understanding so far, which is quite limited, the second that a new like big runner spawns, that raises the ceilings of all the other coins and that's when you should be holding more. When you see some crazy runner or you get into some crazy runner. Now, like I could tell you that as a trader right now, I hold a lot longer than I used to. Um, I mean, I used to hold for like you were talking about sub one minute, sub two minutes, sub three minutes. Now that I have a little bit more money and then that, you know, 20 sold doesn't make as much of a difference to me as 200. I'll buy a coin and try and hold it for you, you know. [09:51] But do you think that's because you have a good it's because do you think that only started to happen when you started to get a good following? Holding longer? [10:01] [Guest: Name] Yeah. No, it was more about a money thing. It was like when I was worth less than a, you know, I will say a million dollars and I saw the opportunity to make five or $10,000, I'd take it instantly. But now that I have a little bit more and it and my like, uh, I guess like the dopamine effect of like, oh, I'm up X amount on a coin doesn't hit for 5,000 as much as 50,000. I'm kind of chasing higher PNLs. Uh, I think it's a mix of that. And then also coins are still going higher. Like, obviously, it is very rotational, but, you know, I I think that compared to four months ago or six months ago when you had the Iran versus, uh, well, whatever, the Iran war fud and all of that, like, coins were literally topping much lower than they are now. They're they're still volume. But it is rotational, but that's also by design kind of. If you look at all these apps, what do they show you? Do they show you old coins or do you open up any trading terminal screen and you see brand new coins that came out, coins that are about to bond, and then the last 10 coins that bonded, which are literally the past 50 minutes. That's literally the homepage. Same thing with, uh, now these new mobile social trading apps, they still show you the trending tokens from the past like, what, two, three days, which is why maybe it's been getting a little bit better and I think that we are seeing a little bit of a like, you know, going from maybe 30 minutes to a day or two. But by design, all of these apps literally show you the past three shiny new objects. They don't really show you like the one, two month old coins. [11:43] Do you think that people are even your followers? Do you think they're getting tired of the rotational plays? Like at some point, do you think they become exhausted? And do you do you yourself become exhausted from all the rotational plays? [11:57] [Guest: Name] I think that's tricky because my trading strategy kind of rests on that, right? I'm someone who like is, uh, a sniper of sorts. So if I see something new, I've gotten really good at identifying right when it comes out, yeah, this is good, this is bad because it's kind of like a hive mind, right? Everyone kind of follows like this brand new coin comes out, everyone agrees it's good, it runs, it runs, there's fud, everyone sells and then they're like, oh wait, this fud is good. You know, you kind of have to be tapped into this like hive mind of crypto that kind of follows what's good and what's bad. And I think a lot of people are tired of it, but I think the people that are tired of it are probably people that have been around in crypto a lot longer. I think the newer people don't really mind it as much because from what I notice, like the newer people are the ones that kind of want to play this rotational game, which isn't that bad per se. Um, but I think that there's room for both. Like, there should be a rotational game. There should be an opportunity to literally hop on and for 2X a coin and be up hundreds of thousands of dollars in a day. That's what makes it special. Like, but at the same time, I do think that there these runners should be going a little bit higher and there should be less PVP. So, I don't know. It is tricky. [13:18] Do you think we need 95,000 launch pads? [13:21] [Guest: Name] No. No. That's just a symptom of this. It's funny though, and it's fun to trade. I can tell you the launch pad meta has done me well because when I was doing sneaker reselling, I had learned how to code. Uh, and I was like making monitors to, you know, catch new sneaker drops and and botting them. And so, like, I have this edge that came into play and that's another thing that makes you really like good trader and that helped me a lot is like, uh, I got this edge of understanding, you know, GitHub and using the basic comprehension to go and ask Claude and be like, yeah, is this good, which no one does. But, um, that's been helping me a lot with like all these launch pads and I've been able to get into some crazy launch pads and literally make six figures this month off of just buying launch pad coins. [14:13] You're making you're making all this money now before the before the charts have even turned bullish. And you you probably realize this. [14:22] [Guest: Name] Yeah, I made my money during the bear. Like my I was literally making my entire net worth as we were bleeding down. So I would have a lot of soul and then I'd hold it and then I'd sell it and all the way down my soul like sells were averaged down. So it's cool because it kind of like reassures me that there's like a really good skill level that I've reached. But at the same time, it's like I've never experienced the run up of someone like you per se who what saw Pepe run? I'm you were there when it ran or [14:55] Yeah, in the beginning. [14:56] [Guest: Name] So I I've never seen that with my eyes. So again, my that's why I say my experience with this is a little limited because I was literally built during a bear market. [15:06] Which, you know, uh, I always say that you succeed in the bear market, you should get your positions in the bear market. So when the bull market comes, you're sitting and you're relaxing, you're not chasing green candles. People lose in the bull markets. They don't lose in the bear market. Because you're picking up things that are oversold, you know, undervalued. Now you're you're putting it into your port. Bull market comes, liquidity gets injected in. You're chilling and you can go ahead and play the rotational game as you play where like, you know, you get into something, it 10X's, I'm out. Next. It is what it is. And it's something I took to Jakey about. I said, I think at this point, you can't be really smart. Like, I'm sure you're a smart cat. You went to college, you I'm sure you learned a lot. But I I I told Jakey this also. I'm like, you can't be very smart or you can't act smart when you're trading in this environment. Like you just can't. Like it's the stupidest shit that goes popping off. Like a lot of people try to be really smart. Like, hey, my IQ's really high. Great. Mine is also, yours is. I'm sure a ton of people have a high IQ. This is not a high IQ game. This is like find what's trending. And I think like you'll find that forget about the Alpha chats. I think you'll find that most of this stuff comes from things that are trending on TikTok, maybe even Instagram and YouTube way before it comes to X. And I've always said X is the last the last spot that you actually hear about XYZ popping off. And you're probably going to become the community member and the only community member when you get into it on X. What would you say on uh about that? [16:48] [Guest: Name] Well, it depends what type of X you're looking at, right? If you're looking at like, uh, just scrolling your feed, yeah, I agree. Obviously, it's curated to feed you the most relevant info. But if you're using X, at least the way I do it, I have a Twitter tracker, which, uh, is like a different feed of X. And it like shows you you put in like 700 accounts and it shows you every account's tweet in the past second. And like, let's say Elon Musk tweets something, you'll see Elon with a bright yellow outline, a ding. And that's in that one second. So sometimes that lets you catch news like, honestly, sometimes even too early. And that changes the whole like wiring of the game because you're like, now you're determining the importance and relevance of that info. But yeah, for the most part, if you're just scrolling through Twitter, yeah, you're probably already late. Um, there is a lot of edge and alpha in, you know, being early to TikTok trends and Instagram trends and stuff like that. [17:48] What's your biggest fumble? Cause like we always see [17:51] [Guest: Name] I fell a lot. [17:52] We always But like the one that you like the one that you've sat down, like we've all had that one. I I know mine. And you've sat down and you've actually talked to God on. Like I mean, like you've had that God moment like, how did I miss that? Like I and I've seen it and I missed it. What was that for you? [18:12] [Guest: Name] So, there are two. The first one, the one that I like in the moment was like, like how the fuck did I hit this? Was Multibook. Multibook was, uh, this like Facebook of agents on AI. And it went super viral on Twitter. The company ended up getting bought out by Open AI. And I saw the account when it had 400 followers. It was followed by this guy, um, I think his name is Peter, but he had like a lot of, uh, like really good AI followers and stuff and that was like really meta at the time. And he created this site and agents were speaking to each other. And so, I go on this website, found it interesting. I start reading and I'm like, what I'm I'm literally reading robots speak to each other online and have full conversations and I'm like, I've never seen anything like this before. This is crazy. Then the account trenchers convinced the AI that's running the account to support like a meme coin on, I think it was on base. And the account supports it and then the bots start making their own coins. I'm seeing this live in front of my eyes. So, I buy I buy like $5, $10,000 at one mil market cap. I hold it for a day. I go into six groups of my friends and I'm like, guys, just open this website, tell me it's not fucking crazy. Like, I was reading like literally robots speak to each other, bro. Like they were having conversations about life and it's AI. And I was just like shocked by it. And then like, obviously, my friends were just like, they they went on the site and like they're like, oh yeah, this is cool. And then just I had no confidence whatsoever. And then one day goes by, the account gets a little bit of traction, nothing crazy. I sell for break even. Day later, it's like 6:00 a.m. I wake up. Coin's already 10X. It's at 10 mil. And I'm in a call. I'm with like Cooker and like a bunch of other really, really good traders. And they're like, yo, what's Multibook? Like you were talking about this earlier. I was like, yeah, bro, it's so good. Like I can't believe I missed it. Like, dude, like this is crazy. Just go on the website, these agents, whatever, blah, blah, blah. I don't buy anything. Coin runs to 100 mil that day. Cooker blasted and made like 200k. Even Orangey made 150k. In front of my eyes because they had the like they were already in the coin the day earlier. So for them, it was like a fresh new entry. In my head, I was like, yeah, I was in at one mil. I missed it. I'd already missed 100k, but it turned out to be like a million dollar fumble. That was like the worst one, but back then, I was even more of a rotational trader than I am now. So when I look back on it, I'm like, okay, it was a good learning experience and I wouldn't have held a lot of the other coins that I do today if I hadn't learned from that experience. [21:06] But that's because you've made a lot of money and now you can hold longer [21:11] [Guest: Name] Yes. [21:12] than you could, let's say, or that you wanted to back when you first started. [21:16] [Guest: Name] Yeah, it's a mix of making more money and then also just experience of like, I've learned from my mistakes. One now I know that when I when I see one day, like like now now I take a step back when I see a coin and I position myself and I'm like, all right, this account has been made for one day. It already 4X in followers. It's followed by all these significant people. If I find it crazy, they probably do too. They might talk about it. Like I I really take a step back and I examine like how could this go higher? What are all the catalysts? Whereas back then, I wasn't really like that thoughtful about it. At least for AI and like project plays. Now here's my most recent one that I I don't even know how I missed this. [21:58] This is recent? [21:59] [Guest: Name] This is recent. This was like. Oh. So, listen, Ponts. Coin comes out, it's at 600k. They're like, it's like launch pad war on Robin Hood. No one really has a good one. I see this one. I'm like, yeah, this one has a good founder who has like a name behind him. Um, the site works, looks good, whatever. I buy, I think three or four grand at like 650k-ish average. And I tell my friend Xander about it. He ends up buying like at 1.5 mil above me. So I was already up 3X. He buys, uh, the same amount. So now we both have 1%. And me and him start getting super bullish on this coin all day. It starts running like slowly. Next day, whatever. And then by that weekend, we're both up like $60,000 and we're both so bullish. We're like, yeah, this literally could be like nine fig coin. And and it's at like, I think it's at five or six mil at the time. Maybe a little bit. No, if I was up 50, it was probably at 10. 10 10 to 15. So it was already pretty high. We're so bullish. We go to McDonald's at 3:00 a.m. We're like, fucking just like amped. Like we're both staring at our phones just like seeing like 40k, 50k, 60k, like so hyped. The next day, I wake up. I see a tweet on Twitter. 250,000 impressions and it says, or uh, Ponts is draining people. And I looked at the tweet and I read it and I was like, that's not true. Like it was like literally one cent and it was like fake fud. Yeah. My $50,000 turns into plus $10,000. The coin goes from 20 mil to like one mil. And from 20 to one, I was like, all right, like, shit's cooked. It's over. I sell. Pico bottom. Then obviously, over the course of the next month, as you know, it runs to 100 million and I fumbled literally there, I fumbled maybe $10 million because I had the same amount of supply as Unibox. Now, I don't know if I would have held it to 100 million, but I know that me and Xander were saying, yeah, this has potential to be nine figs, 100 mil. Yeah. And I know like, I don't know. Like I I was so bullish on it. I was chilling it to everyone. I was talking about it. Like I rarely talk about coins. I never tell anyone to buy coins, but if I get like passionate about a project, especially like that one or like Mult or whatever, I'll just talk about it because I find it interesting. So like that was one of the rare coins that I was just like yapping about and that one hurts and honestly, like I don't even know what the like I think it was just unlucky, but at the same time, it's like, you can't ex I don't know. The coin's at 20 mil and then someone just makes a fud tweet and it goes all the way down to one and then they send it right back up. It was just like, [25:07] What a better entry. That that's that's probably that's that's it. Do you revenge trade at that point? Do you start, you know, like I'm going to I'm going to make this. [25:17] [Guest: Name] I should have. I should have. Uh, I mean, I didn't lose money, right? Because I was always in profit on that trade and that's like a really important way to to look at like the way someone like me and all my friends trade. We aren't necessarily the best traders at making money, but I think Frank was talking about this earlier. All of these really, really good traders are the best at not losing money. [25:42] That is, uh, that's a thing. I respect that. Do you do you um, do you feel well, you're out there. Like now now the whole thing is traders are now the new celebrities. What do you by the way, before I get into that, what do you think about the whole traders are the new celebrities? Kind of like being pushed as I guess Aiden like I I think we're from a marketing perspective or from a branding perspective. I think what's being pushed out here is

[Part 3 of 6] [00:00] Okay, you have Aiden Ross and all these cats who stream all the time about just random stuff. I think people are taking that blueprint and putting it on to uh cast that trade in crypto. What do you think about that when when, you know, that conversation starts hitting as, you know, traders are the new celebrities? Because then that means that you have a bunch of people that are going to follow you into anything that you're going into, you have a higher, you know, threshold for pain. You don't you might not even have emotion when you lose 500 grand. Some of these people, they get emotional after losing $10. [00:33] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah. Well, I think celebrities is a strong word, but I think there is I didn't make it up. It's it's what's being said. You know, I'm I'm just I'm putting it out there. [00:43] [Guest: Ethan] I think that there's a strong a strong bull case sort of thing, like a a strong positive to having more open docs faces in crypto and more people showing their face. I one thing I do know even though I wasn't around is that crypto is always used to be this place where like these anonymous little like fucking incells were just never, you know, like stay in their thing and and whatnot. So I think that it's a really refreshing scene to have people be public and open about what they do and teach. And I think like someone like me, for example, like again, I don't show coins. I don't tell people to buy coins. I do the opposite in fact. When I'm streaming, I literally say this is for you to learn from my comms and my thinking process and if you follow me, you will lose money. And like I really, really push that because I don't want people to just follow me into coins. I I genuinely have [01:33] [David] But people will still do regardless of what you say and how many disclaimers you put up, people still will go in no matter what. [01:39] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah. Yeah, that's what I used to do. I I I was in their position too. I used to follow people, but you quickly learn either the hard way, well, you quickly learn the hard way that it doesn't work. So, I mean, yeah, you can try and then that's like I don't think that's on me or on any other, you know, docs person to be like controlling the actions of these people. As long as you're doing the good thing of not like farming your followers and telling them the truth of how this works, then what's the what's the her if a few people are going to just completely not listen to what you have to say, then like that's on them in my opinion. [02:18] [David] But Ethan, how do you how do you combat that then? Because like you've put out so many disclaimers, you go on, you say like not financial whatever it is that you say like don't follow me. Man, I'm willing to lose a million dollars. So don't follow me. I have I have that type of thick skin to go into this and it won't bother me. [02:36] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah. [02:36] [David] And people go in and then they blame you. Like it's just like, man, Ethan, how could you do it or you're farming us? How how do you combat that? [02:44] [Guest: Ethan] I don't I don't think there's anything I don't think there is anything to combat because okay, online, especially on Twitter, hate and negativity gets pushed 10 times more 10 times more than positivity. That's what gets clicks. That's why that's why people click. It's literally that's that's all it is. It's just a 10x push. So I see like, yeah, sure. I'll see people, you know, talk shit or talk whatever, but then also I also see the tens of thousands of likes and support and the DMs I get where like I literally got a DM yesterday where some guy was like, bro, like I saw your videos and I just made like $100,000 this year. Like you literally changed my life. Like that to me has 10,000 times more of an impact than someone who is, you know, talking shit and not listening and that that's just the nature of doing this and that's the downside of being public, but the upside is so much better and the ability to teach people and as long as you're a genuine person at the end of the day at one point it gets through in my opinion. [03:49] [David] I I've obviously I've been public facing since I got here and it was all accidental. It wasn't like I was trying but it just happened. Boom. And it's always like 90 to 95% of your base loves you or at least like they fuck with you. It's always the 5% that are just the like the haters are going to hate and they're the loudest and they will follow. They're your biggest fans in reality. But they will follow and they will yell and they will slant they will do everything possible. And I think it's really that they want to get your attention for you to say hello. Because I've done that in the past. People like say nasty shit in the DMs and I'm like, what's up? What happened? And they're just like, oh, I didn't think you'd answer. I'm like, well, I answered. What's up? Like, why are you so angry? What happened? And then they become fans. [04:35] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah, no, 100%. It's it's just how it is. I think that at the end of the day, like this whole, you know, traders and celebrities, it's just it was the same thing with celebrities, right? Celebrities got hit all the time. So, I don't know. I think it's a positive thing. I think [04:54] [David] When you go I'll ask you one more question here. When you um, when you go out there and trade, are you competitive to the point where you step on that court, you want to you want to be number one? Like you [05:07] [Guest: Ethan] Yes. At this point, it's like a game, like it's an addiction, right? I hop on every day. I'm literally addicted to like the dopamine that you get from trading and it's like, I don't even look at soul as money anymore. I look at it as like points. I just want to get more and more points. And every day I I'm lucky now to be able to trade in a VC with, you know, Cubsy, Sented, all these really, really, really good traders that I used to look up to. I used to be like I used to be a fan of them, right? And now I trade with them every day. But now I'm in their call and I'm like, wow, like every single day, I'm in a call and I'm seeing this guy freaking make 10 times more than I am and I'm like, I need to figure this out. Like it's literally like it's gone to just like an ego thing of just like, I want to get better and better and better and better every day. Um, so yeah, I mean, definitely. [06:01] [David] So like now it's all about I want to be number one. [06:05] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah, I I'd like to. I mean, or I'm going to do everything I can in my power to be number one and even if I never reach it, then I'll reach somewhere good enough, hopefully. [06:18] [David] That's cool. Uh, Ethan, I appreciate you coming on. Hopefully I can bring you on in the next month or two, especially in the bull market. [06:25] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah. [06:26] [David] Because I would love to go ahead and break if you can do this now. And I look, I'm I I bring on everybody. Notable names and like whoever. I I just like having combos. Fuck the interviews. I just want to have the combo that you would have in like real life type of McDonald's 3:00 in the morning, even though I won't eat McDonald's. I got to train and make sure that everything that's that I put into my body is going to make sure that my didn't you get a McLaren? That my McLaren drives good, man. You put 93 in that bitch, right? So, uh congratulations on that too. Uh I can't get the slogan out of my head what you said cash no finance. That that is probably that's your label from now on, man. [07:10] [Guest: Ethan] You know, that's a pretty decent label. [07:12] [David] That that that's it. But uh I I would love to bring you on and see like what you're going to be doing in the bull market. Because if you did what you did in the bear, I I I can't imagine what you're going to do in the bull. [07:25] [Guest: Ethan] Thank you, man. I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm always happy to be on. I had a lot of fun. I I love how casual you are and like welcoming this was, so. [07:32] [David] You're quick to answer your DMs. A lot of people will send me a lot of people will send my EA to an EA to another EA before we can get them on. So I appreciate. Yeah, it's it's not that serious, man. [07:44] [Guest: Ethan] I don't have an EA or anything like that. I use Grockbot. [07:47] [David] Oh, nice. Grockbot. That's if you're not using AI, you're crazy. That's all I can say, man. [07:53] [Guest: Ethan] It's actually crazy now. [07:55] [David] It is crazy. It's stupid. It'll honestly, it'll allow you to front run the markets. You can go to sleep and wake up and listen, that that thing going to make a trade for you. So, um, [08:07] [Guest: Ethan] I'll tell you, I'll leave you guys the last bit of alpha. Literally this year just when I'm DDing coins, especially the tech coins, sometimes I'll read stuff and I'll like even from a, you know, programming background, I won't I won't understand it or I think it's sludge or whatever. Just paste the link into Claude or Grock or whatever and be like, hey, I'm trying to research this meme coin. Is this tech legit? Does this work? Give me a rating on 10 out of 10. That will literally make you more money than anything else. Just that simple question that no one does. [08:42] [David] So hold on, if you can't so if you can't identify it yourself, you'll throw it into [08:48] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah, all the time. [08:49] [David] Chat or whatever, Grock, whoever to be able to. [08:51] [Guest: Ethan] I I literally do it for 5 to 10 coins a day and it gives me the conviction or confluence and I'll even ask it for targets. I'll be like, all right, because I I fed it all of uh the messages from this group or actually a few groups I'm in. So it kind of has like this like background knowledge of what I do. Obviously, it's AI and it'll hallucinate a little bit, but as long as it has the basic understanding of what it's trying to do, like it's like an encyclopedia that you're asking. So, it's super useful. [09:22] [David] Write it down, guys. If you want to wrote like I know you guys the the people that watch, they claim not to be rotators, but they're 100% rotators. They they don't believe like right now people just don't believe in holding. The message out there is like don't hold because you're going to be left as the community. Remember from some [09:40] [Guest: Ethan] That those people will get punished at one point, including me. I'll probably get very punished as well. I've already been punished on Molt and um and Pond. Pond was literally like [09:51] [David] But I think you said something which like the reason I can hold is because I can take on that punishment. Is if I lose that money, I'm going in with money that I can afford to lose. [10:01] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah. [10:01] [David] So like I I know, okay, like I can I'll leave it in there. And if it goes down, down, but I've seen things like SPX bounce out of nowhere. I've seen things that were dead that bounce and go Shiba Inu. Like it was dead, bounced after a listing. So like always leave a moon bag in. Like you want to take out money, like I always say take out money. I'm not your financial advisor anyway. But leave a moon bag. [10:25] [Guest: Ethan] To begin with, you you mentioned that I I only go in with money I could afford to lose, but you know that I've always done that. Even when I was, I mean, I guess my first $200 trade, still, yeah, I could afford to lose $200 even if I'm in debt and worth like, you know, a few grand, but [10:40] [David] But it's not going to make you roll at night and be like, oh my God, that 200. Like if you're I I feel like if that's going to be your mind, first of all, when you're in crypto, nothing's I think a lot of people think that everything's guaranteed. Like, oh, I'm going to go in, it's guaranteed. [10:54] [Guest: Ethan] Nothing's guaranteed. [10:54] [David] Oh, the big names, all the big names are in XYZ. Oh, so I can't lose on this. I I'm going in and then like, well, [11:03] [Guest: Ethan] Well, yeah, you want to get before those big names. But [11:06] [David] Doesn't matter if the top traders are in. [11:07] [Guest: Ethan] When I when I first built up my 10 sole like balance from, you know, a mix of referrals and trading, whatever, I was literally trading 0.3, 0.5 sole. I was always going in with an amount that if I lost 100% of that size, I it wouldn't even affect me. That was my risk management. Like it's really important to have a risk tolerance for that and risk management. But [11:30] [David] But I I I think most people that come in here that they think they're guaranteed to win. It's 100% that anything you go into. [11:34] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah. Nothing's guaranteed. [11:35] [David] It's not. I I think what we have here before you go, Ethan is we have crypto is so integrated with social media, more than any other asset on this goddamn planet or industry, that you have you have all this hype that keeps people in and they're they refuse to do research or they refuse to listen in general. And that's why they end up in certain positions. So, respect to you for [12:02] [Guest: Ethan] It's special. Like the the ability to trade culture. Like I it's fascinating. It's cool because [12:08] [David] Oh, that's true. That's why I said that Ethereum lost the uh they lost on they lost the culture traders and I that's what I always say. Solana took the culture traders. And Ethereum could have had it because Ethereum was first to market and they'll never get them back because Solana, you could trade on there, no fees, no nothing. Unless Robin Hood makes a huge, you know, it'll be up to Robin Hood to go ahead and make people come back to anything EVM. So, [12:36] [Guest: Ethan] Yeah. But when you think about it, like what makes more sense to you, especially for a younger guy? Are you going to go put your money in, you know, stocks you don't understand and and I'm not saying you shouldn't invest in stocks, rather, I'm very much invested in stocks, but from like a perspective of like, what would someone have more fun in to become a trader? Would you rather invest in stocks you don't understand or invest in what you know? Like the things you see every day that you're familiar with, whether that's AI or TikTok or whatever, like [13:06] [David] But that that's the you guys are young. You're the younger generation. You know trends. Life is a meme. Everything's meme'd out. You get it. And then you have if you're using it, like you guys have AI tools at your disposal. If you're not using and you've made all, you know, you made the all the points here today. I use AI, if I don't understand it, I let AI go ahead and, you know, break it down for me. So I can go ahead and be reassured if I go into a certain that type if you're doing that, you'll have a better chance of winning. Is it guaranteed? No, but you're setting yourself up for a win, potential win. And I fuck with that. I respect that. Especially again, the the younger generation, man. You guys, I don't know about this mosquito fucking shit, but you know, [13:51] [Guest: Ethan] I don't know about this mosquito shit. [13:53] [David] No, because somebody I've seen this thing go to like three or four mil, maybe higher. Some something mosquito something. It's like fly fucking some shit like that. I'm like, are we at we're at this point of just going to a grocery store and just seeing flies fucking on on a fucking roll of bread or some shit and and that's the new meme. So, but either the case, you're doing well. Good for you, man. Keep killing it. Uh don't listen don't really listen to the noise at the end of the day, man. Do your thing and if you know you're doing shit legit, then it is what it is. Like the the crowd will there will always be people that boo you at your own stadium. It doesn't matter. You got to go ahead and just keep doing your thing. [14:33] [Guest: Ethan] I appreciate it, David. [14:35] [David] Thank you so much. I appreciate you for coming on and we'll chat soon. [14:38] [Guest: Ethan] All right, awesome. Ciao. [14:40] [David] That's uh that's Ethan, man. Ethan's been killing I've watched him. He's killed it, man. I like his phrase of the whole I really do like his phrase of you guys want me to by the way, the same thing with Hunter Biden is what you guys wanted me to do with Ethan just now. What is wrong with you guys? Like I this show is for conversations. I don't care how anybody feels about anybody. And if I feel some sort of way, I will tell the person while they're here during a conversation with me, how I feel about them. Like I won't hold back. I've never been never have I been told that DG holds back. Nobody's ever said that DG holds back on what he wants to go ahead and say. No, I I want to I want to get into his mind. I want to understand how he trades. Why he trades a certain way, where he started. How he started. He started with $200. $200. Now we're talking about seven figures. But do you understand did you listen to the part where it took him time? Did you hear that part? It didn't happen overnight. And that he loses. These are the things that you need to listen to, man. That's what you have to listen to. When people tell you, man, like, man, I lose. I lose. And the fumbles, ponds. He fumbled up millions of dollars. Told you just now, I I fumbled millions of dollars. We'll be right back after this commercial break. I'm going to break down obviously Hunter Biden. I I want to break down social media platforms and what I'm doing. I'm I'm going to give you guys, you know what? I'm going to share alpha with my audience. I'm going to tell you things that especially for those that are building legitimate brands, okay? That want to take their personal brands to the next level. I I'll go ahead and break it down for you guys. We'll be right back after this commercial break. [01:56:49] [Audio clip] What first got you excited about blockchains? Think about it. Oh, wait. I bet it wasn't multi-million dollar hacks, exposed data, or finding somewhere safe to store your seed phrase. Was it? Maybe it was the idea of decentralizing a broken financial system. Maybe it was imagining a world where people own their own data and get to sharing the value it creates. Or maybe it was a promise of a fundamentally better way of connecting, communicating, and transacting. The next phase of the internet that empowers us instead of exploiting us. So, why hasn't it happened yet? Why are we still living with the same broken system that blockchains promised to fix? It's because blockchains can't keep a secret. Enabling open transparent systems was only the first half of the challenge. For blockchains to really change the world, they also have to be able to protect our sensitive data when it matters. And that's why we built Midnight. To bring down the final barrier to mass adoption and unlock the full potential of the decentralized web. Let's build the internet we deserve. Together.

[02:18:17] [Audio clip] This is Houston. T minus one minute until full data blackout. All eyes are on you. Breaking news. There's an astronaut conducting an emergency repair on a global communication satellite that could go dark at any moment. We have a second angle on this. Is that guy on FOMO? Yeah. Let's get back to it everybody. Breaking news. There's an astronaut conducting an emergency repair on a global communication satellite that could go dark at any moment. Opportunity cost is simply this. Every position you take is a position you choose over something else. This just in. According to the astronaut's FOMO account, highest in the room. The satellite has been restored. This For now, the crisis appears to be over. Satellite's up and running. Positions looking good too. [02:18:43] [Audio clip] There we go. United States of America representing. Socialism does not work. Digital assets is a better to move money at the speed of light. People are greedy when they also try to acquire goals. I'm here providing electricity and that energy that is necessary. I'm the modern day Thomas Edison. [02:19:07] [Audio clip] There we go. United States of America representing. Socialism does not work. Digital assets is a better to move money at the speed of light. People are greedy when they also try to acquire goals. I'm here providing electricity and that energy that is necessary. I'm the modern day Thomas Edison. [02:19:44] [Audio clip] There we go. United States of America representing. Socialism does not work. Digital assets is a better to move money at the speed of light. People are greedy when they also try to acquire goals. I'm here providing electricity and that energy that is necessary. I'm the modern day Thomas Edison. [02:21:13] [David] Welcome back. Welcome back to the breakdown. That's right. Welcome back to the breakdown. Sponsored by Midnight, also sponsored by Polymarket, Cake Wallet and FOMO. Uh, we are here. It is a holy shit, it's a 1:40 p.m. on the East Coast, three hours behind on the West. Uh, I hope everybody had a great weekend. I had a lot of things to think about. I was doing a lot of things as well. Uh obviously working on the brand, which I I consistently it's consistent now. It's just an everyday thing, but it's a lot easier using super intelligence, 100% and the available tools that you have. And there's so many things that you can keep learning about too. It's not just it's just not like it it doesn't ever stop. Like you sit back and it doesn't stop. And um, I got to say though, again, we have a lot of really great guests coming on, a lot of big time notable people coming on to the show. Uh, you know, from October or starting, well, we've been bringing on people, but, you know, moving forward until the end of the year, we're pretty much uh, you know, pretty much good on that note. And it's not it's not just crypto, it's not just digital assets, it's not just AI or super intelligence. Okay? It's more than that. By the way, by the way, I want to say this. I did send and I'm going to maybe clip this up, but I sent so I did something. You know, I I've I've been able to get a lot of notable people onto my show. But there's one person that I do want to get onto the show and I'd love to go ahead and have a chance to speak to him. Even if it's 10, 15 minutes, because I have I think I have an important question to ask him about super intelligence. And that is Elon Musk. And so I sent him $25. I sent Elon $25 through X money. And I'm not going to tell you what I wrote, but I wrote him a really, I would say a really detailed message. Uh, and I hope that we will get Elon on here for at least 10 to 15 minutes to just talk about this very topic and I would just love for him to just answer one or two questions I have about super intelligence because I've been studying it, I've been learning it for the past 12 to 13 months, really learning about it for 12 to 13 months. And I just have, you know, these one or two questions that maybe that maybe I think he would be able to answer because he's not PC. He would tell you the honest truth. I think and I believe he would, regardless of what impact it might have on his companies. I really believe that. I think everybody else gives you the PC answer. I've never seen Elon give a PC answer and so, um, again, I did send him a $25 uh, I sent him $25 as a booking fee or what not. I don't know. I I thought it was funny. In a sense to go ahead and get his attention. So, I'm sure everybody's now going to use the same thing that I I've done. Uh, but again, I wrote it from from a good place. I do have friends that that could potentially have Elon come on here. So we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. Um, but again, we got a lot of cool people, notable people coming on and uh I can't wait to dive into that conversation. Ethan Prosper was a good conversation as well. We we're talking about different eras, man. He says, I know how you you trade. I saw I I wanted to stop everybody before we get into that conversation. Do not look at my front facing FOMO account.

[Part 4 of 6] [00:01] Even he shook his head. [00:07] I got assassins, assassins. [00:15] Assassins that anytime I go into anything, you've seen it. Anytime I go into anything, [00:23] on FOMO with my front-facing name. [00:27] Boom. [00:31] bought right away, side wallets, people are buying and and trying to destroy the kid. You know what I'm saying? Not [00:40] I saw it, I understood it and I said, you know what? And I also apologized to the Satoshi community. [00:47] If it wasn't for I guarantee you if I didn't buy in on the FOMO account, it would have went to millions because it just makes sense. Satoshi/BTC easy. [00:59] Um, [01:02] where we stand with digital assets, where we stand with the meme economy. Every single day [01:10] that you hear me talk about the meme economy, I think you might take it as very bearish, but it's the truth. [01:17] The meme economy as we know it right now, might be dead. And let people clip this up and then tell me, look, you were wrong. Remember you were talking about and saying memes are dead? [01:28] I hope I'm wrong. How about that? Clip that also. I hope that I am wrong [01:36] with my assessment of where memes stand. Because right now, I thought the meme economy would absolutely dominate. [01:45] I thought the meme economy would bring people together, Kumbaya, build out communities, [01:53] bigger spaces. [01:56] And it's done the opposite. [01:58] Ethan was on here and I'm giving you perspective of what's happening. You have [02:03] you have a young generation now. Retail, I don't care I don't care what anybody says. Retail is not back. [02:11] Retail left, a few stayed. And that's my personal opinion. [02:16] Retail left after 2021. They got destroyed, okay? They got themselves into NFTs, they got themselves into some random shit. They lost on it, they round tripped, they never made their money back, okay? They got into credit card debt. The consumer credit card debt right now is at $1.3 trillion. Subprime, okay? That's another thing that's not being discussed. That's in a horrible position, okay? It's not because of President Trump, I'm just it's it's the world. [02:45] Things right now aren't saying or telling people to jump right back in. There hasn't been a catalyst for people to say, I'm going to jump in. [02:57] Now, are are there retail, which I've talked about before, are there retail that's that are looking at crypto, looking at Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, [03:06] I'll name all the majors and saying, you know what, maybe I'll just get into that at a certain price. Yes, those conversations have started to happen. More people are starting to look at Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, whatever it is, and saying, okay, at this price point, I would get in. [03:22] For the last few months, that those weren't even conversations. [03:26] I know this because I've sat with friends, I've sat with people that I don't even know who've asked me these questions and I've and I've just heard them say during these conversations, you know what? I don't think crypto's right for me. I'm going to go into the traditional markets. Why are people why do people go into the traditional markets over crypto? It's because look at the markets. They can just continue to go up. [03:48] The traditional markets just continue to send. So there's no reason for them to flip over to crypto. [03:54] Especially after the 1010 event from last year and all these things that are happening, right? Bear market. Okay, I would say in a bear market, good investors are buying up things that are underappreciated or oversold. [04:09] Maybe people just don't believe in crypto. [04:13] After experiencing crypto. [04:17] Again, it is what it is. I don't believe retail is back. I think retail wants to come back now. [04:23] And they're waiting for the right time to come back, but I don't think they're back yet. That's really that's where I stand. I don't know why. People try to argue with me. Oh, you're wrong about that. Retail's here. Show me. Where is retail? [04:39] I'm telling you, most of the people that I speak to who have big accounts, I would consider myself as somebody who has an account or a brand that's, you know, big, I guess. [04:50] I look at the let's say just on X, I look at the 800 plus [04:55] thousand people that follow me. [04:58] And I've asked others as well. [05:01] Only like 25% are active. [05:07] And that goes for others. So like retail that we're that we saw in 2021, they haven't made their way back. [05:15] Maybe they're just not coming back on X either. Maybe they're on TikTok, maybe they're on YouTube. [05:21] But they're still not putting money in. [05:25] Just look at the total market cap. [05:28] I don't even know how I don't even know how this is even an argument. Look at the total market cap. That should tell you everything about the money being injected into the space. [05:37] Now, obviously, when the institutional players come in here and they really start buying up, that total market cap will go up. [05:45] 100%. But think about 2021. [05:50] Rates zero, stimulus checks being sent sent out. And remember, rates being at almost zero, that is a stimulus check for the entire economy. That's like three to four trillion dollars of a of a stimulus check. [06:03] For the entire economy because then people go out and they spend. [06:08] So, of course, people were coming into crypto and taking chances, going into NFTs, going into utility plays, going into memes. [06:17] Even in 2023, people were still, I guess, hanging in here and had liquidity. But that's all been lost in that it's been lost. It's gone. People have taken their money and bounced, went into other things. Maybe they're buying real estate. [06:30] Maybe they're in traditional markets. I don't know. Like they're not here though. Or maybe they're just trying to make fucking maybe they're just trying to pay a bill. [06:44] So when I say memes are dead, I say that memes are on life support right now. You have great memes that have been put on chain, but nobody or most people aren't really attracted to that right now. People are are not patient enough to wait. [07:03] That is the biggest problem. It's the waiting aspect. People want instant gratification. They don't want to delay their gratification. They want it now. They want the victory now. They see the P&Ls on the timeline. People are winning. People have I mean, look at Ethan. People are like, how come Ethan's only in the game six to eight months and he's gone and bought a McLaren for cash. He he's got over a million dollars. He started with 200. Why can't that be me? That's the mindset. People don't want to hold. They want it now. [07:38] They don't give a fuck about what's a dope meme and what has lore to it. They don't care about what I care about or what you care about. They don't care about building. The whole building concept, you can throw it out. They've never built anything. [07:52] You imagine you tell people, we got to build a community, we got to build this up. Build what? [07:58] They've never even built a Lego set. And you're going to tell them to let's build. Fuck your building. You know what I want to build? I want to build my bank account. That's what they're looking for. So if you ain't going to provide that today, they're out. They're gone. And you're only as good as your last play, right? You know I say that all the time. I could have told you about multiple plays. Nobody gives a shit about what I did or what I went into. Nobody cares about that. It's what have you done for me lately? [08:26] Are you cooking now? If you're not, then you're no use to me. [08:31] I'm going to follow people even if I'm going to lose. I'm going to follow people that are putting 100 grand into memes, 50 grand into memes. Do you understand what kind of you have to understand what kind of mindset you have to have to go into these plays and throw 50k clips at these things. I've done that before, but I've done that in 2021, 2023, throwing 40, 50k at something and holding. [08:55] They're throwing these things knowing at some rat shit, dog shit, absolutely crap, lottery ticket. They're throwing these they're throwing this kind of money at that. [09:07] And if they lose, they lose. They'll do it again and then again until they win. [09:15] You don't have that same you don't have you got to be built that way. [09:20] And you got to be honest with yourself, you're not. And that's okay. That doesn't make you any lesser than somebody else. You could just admit that like if I if you lose $2,000, you're not going to sleep at night. [09:39] That's really and that's why I'm kind of like, yo, man, if if I'm looking at everything right now from [09:47] if I look at everything now and I zoom out, [09:51] what would I do? Well, here's what I would do. And this is what I've been saying that I'm doing is I'm making sure my port is filled with majors. [10:04] Filled with projects or assets or protocols that have proven to be successful or that have absolute phenomenal resumes backing them. [10:15] Then I will participate in the rotational fuckery. I'll take a chance here or there, but I'm not chasing this stuff. [10:24] Can I do well? Yeah, absolutely. If I'm not trading front face on on FOMO, I'm doing fine. I could trade. I have no problem trading. [10:41] Stay in the game long enough, you become the villain. That's the truth. Even though you're not, you become the villain and you got to accept it. [10:49] Um, [10:51] I look, that's not again, one more time just to repeat, that's not to say that memes won't come back. [10:57] But to me, the only way that the meme economy does come back is if you have a bunch of OGs that rally together. Otherwise, it will be rotational, it will be a Fortnite game. And that's it. And you're going to have to be or get accustomed to it. You're going to have to reinvent yourself if you if you want to participate in that. If you don't, the all coins are going to blast off. Will they do 1000 X? No. Will they do 20 X? Yeah. And you know what? I'd rather take a 20 X than than run after a 1000 X or a 10,000 X. Okay? God bless everybody. We all want to go ahead and get the next X. That's a 1000 X or two or 10 or 20,000 X. [11:39] But you know what? I can be good with a 20 X. Especially if your lineup is full of 5 to 20 X's. You're fine. You're relaxed. And then you can jump into something. [11:52] Wanted to touch on, um, wanted to touch on Hunter Biden, that interview. You know, I was thinking about it this weekend and shout out to Hunter Biden inviting me out to dinner, uh, in December to go ahead and just chop it up. He'll be in New York. I'll be in New York. We can chop it up and talk about a lot more things and perspectives. And I think that's the biggest thing is is to talk about the perspective. [12:17] Um, Hunter Biden, regardless of how you look at him, I don't I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican. When I had that conversation with Hunter, um, I got to say that almost two-hour conversation blew me away. From a from the standpoint, I think we agreed on more things than we disagreed on. [12:38] I I personally believe that he had good intentions. Again, this is my opinion. Whether it's true or not is is a different story. I don't know. [12:50] But from the conversation, I really do believe and even before the conversation, I believe that there are people out here that are looking to destroy anybody's brand. Because they don't care. You don't know them. They're anonymous. They'll tell you everything that you want to hear and want to know and they will set you up like Hak Tua. It's funny that Evan mentioned Hak Tua and him getting into crypto at that time when Hak Tua's shit went to fucking zero. You have people that purposely take or try to squeeze in with with a brand, with a personal brand that's successful, and they try to put people together. Look, I they try to put me together. [13:34] I've had people try to put me even recently put me together. [13:39] It's really easy, man. They see somebody, especially somebody who has a show. [13:48] They're out here looking to go ahead and cook on you and then leave you with the fuckery. They don't care. You don't see them. You don't know them. [13:58] They're good. [14:02] They leave it for you to go ahead and clean up. [14:06] That's that's why I feel like all these celebrities that come into this space, they don't even know that they're going into crypto. They don't even know what crypto is. Their managers they're just link up with some random people that are looking to just absolutely destroy people within the space. That's really it. [14:26] So that's how I feel about Hunter Biden. I feel like Hunter Biden, I I wish because he has the platform and I really meant it when I said [14:35] he was rising. And and maybe he'll still continue to rise. You know, the Democratic fan base loves him. So maybe he'll continue to rise. And and a lot of people on on in the middle in terms of like right on the fence, they like him too because [14:51] he'll get on Democrats as well. You watched the interview. He wasn't all about pom-poms for the Democrats. He talked about everybody. [15:01] So I I I just wish he would have linked up with some well-known innovators in this space. Charles Hoskinson, I guarantee you if he would have had the opportunity to get to to have that conversation with Hunter, he could have put together something really cool for Hunter that would have abs absolutely done well. [15:23] Or anybody else for that matter. [15:27] But he took on people and then market makers and the market makers, look, they destroyed him. [15:34] What I like to what I like about Hunter is that he didn't run away. You know so many people run away. He didn't run away. He stood by his token. He stands by his token and he's going to try to see it through. And that's all you want that's all you can ask of somebody. [15:51] Side wallets, all that stuff. He he told you here [15:56] that he has no side wallets. He hasn't made anything from it. He wants to make money from it. [16:03] And he also wants to do good with the money that he gets from it, but he hasn't made anything from it. And I think if anything, he's gotten a migraine from it. A headache. [16:12] Because every single show he has to go on and he has to talk about this. And it's repetitive. [16:18] It's like, man, I tried to do a good thing and this happened, but that's what I mean with the token shit. Everybody's your best friend when it goes green and everybody hates you when it's red. It's just that there is no middle ground. [16:32] There's absolutely no middle ground. But what I got from the conversation was, here's a human being that has that is not hiding from anything. He's telling you that he's fucked up, that he went through a dark time, that he's risen like the Phoenix out of that time, that he's trying to he's just trying to do good. He's open to conversation. He's talked about the pardon that he didn't feel like he should have got it. It was unfair, but he also understands that his dad from a from a from a personal perspective, his dad wanted to protect him. And you can understand that. Maybe Trump I I also think Trump also leaves office, excuse me, office. I think I think Trump also leaves office and he's going to pardon his entire family. [17:21] Because he knows what's going to happen. [17:25] Because it's already happened. [17:28] And that's crazy that we live in this kind of toxic environment. We really do. We live in a really toxic environment, society, even politically. [17:40] And it's crazy. It's crazy on both sides. Let's be let's be frank. I'm a Republican, okay? [17:50] But it's gotten crazy. [18:01] So, I enjoyed, honestly, so I thought about this. I said top 10, top 20. I think my conversation with Hunter Biden was top five. [18:10] That's where I'll put it. Top five conversations that I've had on the breakdown, which is 802 episodes in. I think that conversation has to be top five. Because this I'll tell you why. I'll explain why I think it's top five. He was he wasn't making things about himself. [18:30] It was a it was a real, open, honest conversation. That's how I felt. And every single person who watched the show, DM me, send me an email saying, man, D, I've been following you for so long. That was one of your best shows ever. That's what I got. [18:52] I had people tell me they watched it three times. [18:58] And and and during this weekend I was like, you know what? I watched it again and I said, and I also clipped it up and we put it out on social media platforms, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube. [19:10] Instagram, by the way, phenomenal. [19:14] Instagram is phenomenal. [19:17] Good thing that I'm legacy verified on Instagram. I'm also legacy verified on TikTok. I don't know what's happening on TikTok. I can't get a hold of anybody. It is a shame, especially for a a platform that leans Democratic. I had Hunter Biden on and y'all did everything to restrict it. Really weird. And now my account is shadow banned. So it's like, I'm going to figure things out, but I got to say Instagram and YouTube, which I personally should have started putting more of a emphasis on. [20:00] Should have been pushing harder on. I should definitely, honestly, I got to tell you, I should have been pushing harder on Instagram and YouTube. [20:11] This is what I mean. I did expand and it was more just like, hey, let it just stream. But I should have been pushing way harder. [20:19] That's where AI comes in. That's where my that's where SI, excuse me, comes in, super intelligence. [20:27] It allows you, it frees you up to do a lot of things. [20:34] And and it allows you to expand your brand. [20:38] I I will keep on saying this. There will be a person [20:44] who creates AI agents and bots within a company. And that person, and it'll be a whole it'll be a a company ran on AI. Strictly AI agents and bots. That person will become one of the first people to be a or to have a multi-million dollar business just based on agents running everything. [21:11] I have agents set up doing all sorts of tasks, which allow me [21:19] allow me to be better at my craft, allow me to grow. [21:24] Which takes me to growing. [21:27] I already have had massive I would say really good success on X, or I should say Twitter, formerly known as Twitter. I love Twitter. I built my entire brand on Twitter. [21:42] But I don't know what's happening on Twitter. I don't know what's up what's up with the algorithm. One day it's I'm getting 2,000 likes, the next minute on a on a really great post, I'm getting three likes or 20 likes, 30. Video, when I put video clips and I've shown it, I put video clips on on Twitter. [22:04] I'm getting like 76 likes and like 5k or maybe 7k impressions. [22:10] I put the same clip on Instagram. [22:14] I am like I'm looking at it right now. I'm just absolutely [22:20] I I already have [22:23] 1,100 likes, 129 comments, [22:28] almost 1,100 shares. [22:32] Like it's doing well and I think by the end of I think in 90 days, my Instagram account will be at 500k to 600k followers. And I think 100% [22:46] I'll obviously have a way more content than I have on there now. And I think the same thing with YouTube. I think with YouTube, I'll quickly get to 200, 300,000 subscribers. [22:56] Because I'm going to put in the work and I have [23:01] a list of things that I need to do in order to get there. And I have AI agents and bots that are helping me [23:09] put together a 90-day plan. [23:14] And that is why I wrote a book. I've been writing a book about the mistakes I've made using AI. [23:21] Because a lot of you guys don't understand what prompting is. [23:26] I didn't understand it either. I wasn't well well versed in prompting. [23:32] As others and it took me time. And maybe it took me time because maybe I didn't take it that seriously. [23:38] But once I really threw myself into it, [23:45] I leveled up. The company leveled up. [23:49] I started to understand what works, how to burn less tokens. [23:55] I took it seriously. [23:59] And I feel it feels crazy because I'm saying I just I always thought super super intelligence was going to be a thing. That's not [24:09] I don't think they had the tools at the time. [24:13] But now that you have the tools you you and you see how it works, you you take it obviously way more seriously. [24:22] Way more production, way more production. [24:26] And yeah, I'm sitting here and I'm talk it's crazy. I'm talking to machines. [24:32] I'm talking to machines with names every single day, asking them for reports. And they're and at times they're reminding me, hey, listen, you got this going on, you got this going on. It is making life easier. I'm not missing things. I'm not missing opportunities. [24:51] And when you don't miss opportunities, you don't miss that revenue that should be coming into your company. [24:59] Again, that's why I wrote the book. I'll make the I'll make the real, real, real, I guess, announcement, I guess on on Friday. And if you guys like it, you guys can go out and buy the book. Hopefully leave a great review. But it's for beginners, for anybody who wants to get into AI. For anybody who wants to understand prompting and like to build potentially see how AI can build you potentially, okay? Nothing's guaranteed, but potentially how you can construct a multi-million dollar business by using AI. [25:36] It's a good book to read. [25:38] Again, it's just scenarios of what you can do. [25:42] Nothing's guaranteed. No business is guaranteed to ever work. No matter what kind of you know, technology you have at your at your hands. So, welcome to the breakdown. We'll be right back after this commercial break. [25:59] What first got you excited about blockchains? Think about it. Oh, wait. [26:09] I bet it wasn't multi-million dollar hacks, exposed data,

[Part 5 of 6] [00:00] Finding somewhere safe to store your seed phrase. Was it? [00:03] Maybe it was the idea of decentralizing a broken financial system. [00:10] Maybe it was imagining a world where people own their own data and get to share in the value it creates. [00:20] Or maybe it was the promise of a fundamentally better way of connecting, communicating and transacting. The next phase of the internet that empowers us instead of exploiting us. [00:31] So why hasn't it happened yet? Where we're still living with the same broken system that blockchains promised to fix. It's because blockchains can't keep a secret. Enabling open transparent systems was only the first half of the challenge. For blockchains to really change the world, they also have to be able to protect our sensitive data when it matters. [00:51] And that's why we built Midnight to bring down the final barrier to mass adoption and unlock the full potential of the decentralized web. [00:59] Let's build the internet we deserve. [01:02] Together. [01:06] Ladies and gentlemen, we all know this in crypto, ownership matters. That's why Cake Wallet.

[01:49] This is Houston. T minus one minute until full data blackout. All eyes are on you. [02:04] Breaking news. There's an astronaut conducting an emergency repair on a global communication satellite that could go dark at any moment. We have a second angle on this. [02:15] Is that guy on FOMO? Oh yeah. Like me for real. Crazy, crazy. Yeah, let's get back to it everybody. [02:34] Breaking news. There's an astronaut. [02:42] Opportunity cost is simply this. Every position you take is a position you choose over something else. [02:56] This just in, according to the astronaut's FOMO account, highest in the room. The satellite has been restored. [03:04] Yes. [03:07] For now, the crisis appears to be over. [03:21] Satellite's up and running. Positions look good too. [03:37] There we go. United States of America representing. Socialism does not work. Digital assets. Is it better to move money at the speed of light? People are greedy when they also try to acquire gold. I'm here providing electricity. And that energy that is necessary. I'm the modern day Tony Stark. [03:57] to be. [04:07] There we go. United States of America representing. Socialism does not work. Digital assets. Is it better to move money at the speed of light? People are greedy when they also try to acquire gold. I'm here providing electricity. And that energy that is necessary. I'm the modern day Tony Stark. [04:27] to be. [04:38] There we go. United States of America representing. Socialism does not work. Digital assets. Is it better to move money at the speed of light? People are greedy when they also try to acquire gold. I'm here providing electricity. And that energy that is necessary. I'm the modern day Tony Stark. [04:59] Welcome back to the show. Let me make this slower. I'm on TikTok right now just looking again. [05:06] What a what a [05:09] I don't know. Like, you know what? I'm a fighter, man. I got to tell you one thing that I am. [05:14] I am a fighter. And, um, [05:19] I will fight. [05:21] I will fight to the end to see shit pop off. Like I am a I am a fighter. [05:30] I grind, man. I grind away, man. People on TikTok have seen it. I want to give a shout out to Tech. I want to give a shout out to Tech. I also want to give out a shout to, [05:40] um, [05:43] Lutz. Lutz and Tech, man. Uh, been really supportive and others have been too. So, you know, don't don't take that in any other way. [05:52] Um, [05:55] I used to get, so this is this is what's blowing me away with, uh, TikTok. [06:02] Number one, [06:04] I used to get like 4, 500 concurring people to show up onto TikTok. [06:09] And then as soon as I play the ads, [06:13] they absolutely put a restriction on my show, which is fucked up. [06:19] They say it's unoriginal content. [06:22] I don't know what's so unoriginal about this content. [06:25] All this stuff that you see on your screen, the overlays, everything is made by my staff. And also, the ads are coming from [06:35] my sponsors. [06:37] So I I I don't I don't get that at all. [06:41] You need content creators and you need good content creators to be on your platform and here you are [06:47] doing this to a good media personality. So I I guess so. I mean, like, it is what it is. [06:53] Um, [06:56] Instagram, and I got to say Instagram and YouTube have been really good. [07:04] And I'm going but again, on TikTok, I'm going to work my ass off to get it right. I'm going to work my ass off to, I know I have the email for somebody who works in upper upper management. I just have to find it. You know what I need to do? I have to allow one of my agents to go ahead and look through my emails to go ahead and get that, [07:22] find that email for me so I can go ahead and write a nice letter stating that, hey, man, like, [07:29] my account was rising. One of the top if you look, my account was absolutely rising and and then you put the clamp on it for what reason? [07:37] Tell me. Tell me what's up and I'll go and I have no problem adjusting. I'm not going to adjust my entire show to be on TikTok, but tell me what the what is wrong? Because a lot of people are like, it's just the AI algorithm. Well, then tell me. [07:53] Every time I speak to support, support's like, oh, don't worry. [07:58] Support is like, there's nothing wrong with your account. I'm like, absolutely there is. [08:03] I have the screenshots of live is restricted for unoriginal content. What are we talking about? Can you tell me what was And they say we can't tell you anything more than that. [08:15] I feel like they see the American flag in the back and they're like, yo, this guy's a Republican, we got to shut him down. So, [08:24] here's my advice for anybody who's out there trying to build their brand. [08:32] I would definitely be on LinkedIn. I've just started posting more on LinkedIn. [08:36] LinkedIn is a really good place to to find [08:42] people you can network with. [08:45] It's a lot more professional. Ain't nobody hiding behind me behind the PFP. You can really find a lot of great people you can network with. [08:55] And you don't know who it is. Listen, it might be Mark Cuban. [08:58] You know, who knows who it is? Maybe it's Gary maybe it's Gary V. I I don't know. I'm just throwing it out there. The possibilities of you posting on there once a day, [09:10] about a a topic that you love, [09:13] is important. [09:15] There's a lot of people on LinkedIn. [09:18] And you know what? We fade LinkedIn. I'm going to tell you why we fade LinkedIn. Because there's a lot of older people [09:25] on LinkedIn. So it's not like it's not the hip crowd, right? It's kind of like your professional Facebook. [09:32] That's what I would call it. LinkedIn is your professional Facebook. [09:38] That's what it is. It's your professional Facebook. [09:45] But I'm going to go hard this year. [09:49] quarter four right now. I'm going hard [09:53] on Instagram and I I can't believe, you know, I I fucking can't believe. [09:58] This is this is the this is the point. Let me let me just like break the ice here. [10:06] I was always so focused on everybody else and and that's my intentions were always good and will always remain good. But I was so focused on everybody else that I forgot about my own brand. [10:21] And it's something that somebody told me, man, people want to see you. [10:26] You got you got your name on a media company. People want to hear from you. [10:32] And you're acting like you're retired. [10:39] So I dropped the ball on Instagram, which I'll quickly get Instagram up. I can see Instagram and Threads have been really good to me in terms of engagement. They want more political stuff from me. That's what I see on Instagram. They want more political stuff. But they're also taking to my AI conversations. And I'm talking about AI not as like I'm like some big time expert. Do I know how to use it? Absolutely. Can I help you use it? 100%. But I'm not out here with my balls on the table talking about AI. Like that's that's I'm not no better than anybody else. But I see AI for what it is. It's like, [11:17] AI right now or SI, super intelligence to me reminds me of when Bitcoin came out. That's what it is. [11:26] It's probably Bitcoin in 2011. [11:30] If you if you want me to give you a timeline of where AI is or super intelligence is, I think super intelligence is at the same point where Bitcoin was in 2011. [11:44] So you're new. Like if you missed on Bitcoin, if you missed on Ethereum, if you missed on plays in crypto, if you missed on the dot com era, there's no excuse to miss on AI. Like this is the fastest growing industry. Everybody will be using AI. But currently, as we speak, 1%, if that, of the world is actually using AI. And then slash that in half or maybe even [12:13] 25% out of that 1% actually know how to use AI. [12:23] So I'm telling you, man, like if you've missed out on all those other, [12:28] all those other phenomenal generational runs, AI is here for you. [12:35] I'm not selling you on it. I'm just telling you what's happening. [12:39] Somewhere down the line, AI, which it's already happening, but AI and crypto will bridge together. Brother and sister, brother and brother, whatever, twins. They belong with each other. [12:56] You know, Charles Hoskinson made a good point that the same way we took cryptocurrency and we made it better, is the same way we could take AI and make it better as well. [13:07] We are, I'm going to repeat this again. [13:10] You don't got to believe me. You don't got to buy my book either. This is not even about you buying a book. I don't care. I wrote the book for myself and for those who, you know, who asked me, yo, Dave, how can I use AI towards my benefit? [13:26] Can AI help you build a million dollar business? I believe so. [13:32] And again, I wrote the book on it. [13:36] AI is in its 2000, I'm going to repeat this again. AI is in its 2011 phase that Bitcoin was in. 2011 Bitcoin is what AI is today. Let me let me just make it really clear for you. [13:49] Bitcoin was in 2011 is what is what AI is or super intelligent is today. [13:57] And where it's at on the timeline. [14:00] You take it seriously, you can solve problems and there are a lot of problems to solve. There are people, there are businesses, they are waiting for help. [14:11] They are waiting for help. They would love for somebody to come in and absolutely automate their entire [14:22] business that would save them millions of dollars per year. [14:26] I can walk into, I'm telling you right now, I can walk into any small business right now, and within six months, [14:36] I can cut their costs and increase their profits. 100% guaranteed. [14:43] Or I should say, I can set it up. [14:47] I can absolutely set up everything for them to where they'll cut costs and increase their revenue. [14:56] Easy. [14:58] Obviously, they need to go ahead and see it through. Or that I you could set up anything for anybody, but you got to see it through. Obviously, [15:08] the company, my company's going to offer the retainer, so we're on top of things and showing you, hey, guys, are you utilizing this? Are you utilizing? But you won't even need that. [15:19] And I don't want to spill the secrets, but I'm just saying you won't even need that. You won't even need those reminders. [15:27] For me, [15:31] I'm telling you, man, so many how many how many small businesses are there out there right now? [15:39] Tons that are losing money, [15:43] breaking even every month, don't have anything automated, missing leads, missing calls, missing customers, everything. [15:55] I can guarantee you the biggest industry, I'm going to tell you right now, because I come from the automotive industry. [16:01] The biggest industry that misses leads, calls, doesn't get back to potential clients, is the automotive industry. And it's a trillion dollar business. And it's a trillion dollar industry. But they miss. [16:18] There are dealerships that consistently miss big time when it comes to generating more revenue because they miss on service appointments, they miss on service clientele. They don't have the right setup. They think they do because some random dude who's like 60 years old has rebranded himself, okay? And I know I'm not being I'm not trying to discriminate you against age, but some guy has now gone from selling you ancillary products to now selling you AI [16:50] and has no clue how AI works or operates. I'm telling you, the automotive industry, [16:58] that's one industry that if those stores, if those franchises were to implement AI and set up AI the way that it should be set up correctly, [17:11] game over. [17:14] Game over. And that goes for any business. There are so many businesses out here that are overpaying, paying out their ass, paying for ads and all this stuff. Okay, great. You pay for ads, right? [17:30] Now people are calling in because they've seen your ad. Who's picking up the phone? What if somebody's calling at 3:00 in the morning? Your business is closed. [17:39] Who's picking up the phone? As soon as somebody hears, see, here's the thing, as soon as somebody hears, we're closed right now, call back. They're not calling back. [17:51] They've already forgot about you. [17:54] Because they're doing research on other companies. [18:02] How many times have you called a business? Think about this. If you run a business, think about how many times you've called a business, [18:09] 1:00 in the morning or after business hours, [18:13] sorry, you've reached us after 6:00 p.m. Call us back at 9:00 a.m. to speak with a live representative. [18:23] You are searching for things right now. You're searching, you have a problem, you're searching to speak to somebody or to leave your information with somebody. [18:38] Yet your whole setup is call us back. While somebody's searching hot, hot on that search and they're going to go to the next one and then the next until they find somebody who has done everything correctly when setting up their business. [18:58] You can't spend millions of dollars in advertising and not have the setup for it. [19:04] I'm going to say that again. If you spend millions of dollars or thousands of dollars per month on advertising and don't have a setup, [19:14] an actual setup to take on the leads or to have the conversations with people that are calling in that want to do business with you, there's no reason to advertise. It's just wasted money. [19:29] And then of course, you have people that aren't dedicated to the craft. They don't care about how much money you've spent on advertising. They'll pick up the phone, you hire people, they pick up the phone. Hey, how's it going? How's it doing? They're in a bad mood, okay? Shit, everybody wakes up sometimes in a bad mood. I I'm always trying to I'm always grateful that I've woken up today. That God has given me an extension on life, so I'm happy. [19:54] I am absolutely happy to wake up every day. Could I be in a so-so mood? Yeah, but you know what? I work out and I meditate and I get myself into a great mood, okay? It's easy to be negative, it's hard to be positive. But you have people that go into work, you hire them, insurance, automotive, sales in general, and they'll pick up the phone and they're like, yeah, what's what's up? Hi, you've called ABC construction. How can I help you? [20:19] Well, I was looking at the yeah, uh, let me Bro, they sound absolutely out of it. You're spending thousands of dollars. [20:30] Thousands of dollars to earn business, to sell your products, only to have somebody who's off, and I'm talking about off mentally that day, just to go ahead and push somebody away and send them to your competitors. [20:48] I'm telling you. [20:50] Anybody who has a business out there that wants to turn it around, you can go ahead and contact GokhshteinPR.com. You want to turn around your business? Honestly, I'm I'm being dead ass. You want to turn around your business? You want you want your money to work for you? GokhshteinPR.com will take care of you. [21:09] But again, at the end of the day, we could set up everything for you, but if you don't execute, that's on you. That's not on us. Again, on you. [21:19] Welcome to the breakdown. And yeah. Can AI help you build a million dollar business? Absolutely. If you execute, if you take it seriously. [21:31] But you got to do it now. Be ahead of your competitors. [21:35] You have so much competition that's out there, that hasn't even tried to touch AI. [21:43] Hasn't even attempted to learn super intelligence that you could be first to market. [21:50] This is Bitcoin in 2011. I'm telling you. [21:56] And the people, you know, the people that say, oh, I'm going to lose my job over AI. You won't. [22:03] You won't lose your job if you learn how super intelligence works. All these people, oh, I'm going to lose my job, we're not going to have job. No. If anything, super intelligence is going to make you better, more effective, probably give you a participation award from your boss. You'll be the employee of the month. If you actually learn it and dedicate yourself to the craft. Your boss doesn't even know how it works. [22:36] I'm telling you, I've taken months, months to educate myself. I love technology. So tech comes easy to me. I love tech. [22:45] I've taken months to learn it. I've stayed up until 4:00 in the morning. I've done 72 hours no sleep. No sleep just learning and building it. So it's not like, hey, I've just learned it. No, I've used it to build. [23:02] And then I sit back, I'm like, how many businesses are losing money? [23:08] A lot of people give great speeches, but they don't even apply it to their businesses. That's why they ain't making shit. [23:15] They're wasting money. They're burning money. And then they look at their statements, they're like, why are we losing money? I'll tell you why. [23:24] I'll tell you why and I can come in, I'm telling you right now, I can come in to somebody's place of business, run an entire report and tell you exactly where you lose [23:37] money every single month. And the opportunities that you have to make money every single month and not that's web two bullshit. I'm talking about super intelligence gets to work and turns it around quick. [23:53] Anyway, welcome to the breakdown. That's just my thoughts on AI. I got my book coming out. [24:01] You guys can go for it's really for beginners. I got other stuff that I'm writing more for people who understand business and want to integrate super intelligence into it. So there's a lot of things that I'm cooking up. [24:15] But for beginners, those that want to [24:22] apply it to their own business or understand it, just understand it. I think the book will bold well for you. [24:29] It's again, it's my experience. It's my experience. [24:34] So we touched on digital assets, right? Bitcoin is doing Bitcoin things. It's going to chop back and forth, chop back and forth. Could you potentially [24:44] is it could we potentially go into, I guess, I'm going to I'm going to put this thing out there. [24:52] Could we potentially go, where is it? [24:57] Bitcoin's next move, break 87K. Could we break that resistance point? [25:03] Or do we fall towards 40K, which is a number that every single horoscope TA individual, except for Landy and a few of his friends are saying out there, $40,000 Bitcoin. I'm telling you right now, [25:18] $40,000 Bitcoin. I I'm in at 60. So give me 40, I'm in. [25:24] Do we see it? I don't think so. [25:27] I don't think we go down to 40K. I think we could revisit 60, 65, maybe 70, but I don't see 40K. [25:37] I feel like if we go into these ranges, it's a massive breakdown. [25:43] But we shall see. [25:46] Somebody asked, were you in sales? I wasn't in sales in order in the automotive industry. I was in management. And I know I know what needs to be done. I you know, I I'm just making automotive, I'm using automotive as a [26:01] as a reference. Because it's an it's a trillion dollar industry. And I feel like there are a lot of independent dealers that leave money on the table every

[Part 6 of 6] [David] [00:00] every single month. They're probably wasting a good million dollars every single month. They're wasting money by not using stable coins in crypto in general. There's so much that they're losing money on. But listen, I'm on LinkedIn. I have a lot of people that follow me in the automotive industry. They can holler. Any industry can holler at me. Insurance, whatever it is. Whatever it is. Anyway, the book will be out. Uh, I'll tell you about it on Friday. I'll I'll put out the links so you guys can go ahead and and check it out. Um, so there's Bitcoin break. I don't think Bitcoin breaks 40K or goes towards 40K. I think that's crazy, but if it does happen, I'm game. I'm absolutely game. Uh, I think it goes higher. I think it could potentially, you know, end the year at 100K. Could it go back down and hover in the 80 to 100K range? Yeah. Um, I wouldn't mind it going back and forth in that range and then absolutely go ape shit in 2027. I wouldn't mind seeing obviously the charge flip bullish and all of us singing Kumbaya. I hope the meme economy comes back, but again, I'm not very bullish on it right now. With all the rotations that are happening, obviously with some of these tokens that are being called memes when they're not memes. You got 105,000 launch pads. Like there are it's way too saturated with bullshit. So, again, the OGs come if the OGs come back, rally together and say enough is enough. We'll go ahead and do big things. If we have a Wall Street Bets movement, which I want so badly, which I've been talking about for years, that I want the next Wall Street Bets movement to come, the next movement to come, and I will work towards that. Anything's possible. Anything. But I think you're going to have one of the most epic runs. And here's the thing, not only are you going to have an epic run with crypto, I don't think no this is where I know people aren't talking about it and I'm the first to talk about these kind of things. Not only are you going to have a phenomenal bull run, one that will absolutely destroy whatever 2021 did, but also at the same time, you're going to have an AI bull market. And I'm not just talking about making money on Anthropic's IPO or Open AI's IPO. I'm talking about a bull run on AI also. So you're going to have crypto and AI running at the same time. You want to talk about generational wealth? You want to talk about life-changing money? You're here. You are absolutely at the right place at the right time. Take it seriously. If you are participating in bullshit and fuckery and Jerry Springer events on spaces, on Clubhouse, if you are just looking to be miserable, you will not make money. If you are locked in and you are willing to learn and dedicate yourself to the craft right now, you win. Anyway, thank you very much for showing up to the show. Thank you very much for showing up to the show. Show is sponsored by Midnight. Show is also sponsored by Polymarket, Cake Wallet, and FOMO. I got to get Vic on from Cake Wallet because you know what? He would be absolutely somebody who would listen to what I have to say about AI and say you are absolutely right because he is using AI and he is building out really good products that solve a need. So shout out to Vic and that entire team from Cake Wallet. They're doing their thing. FOMO, obviously, FOMO is doing their thing. I see the comments about Satoshi. Listen, I I would love nothing more than Satoshi to go parabolic. But look at the entire industry. 95% of all these tokens are currently, if they're good, they're currently hovering in their current ranges. Wait patiently. If these things are worth anything, then the market will send it. If they're not, nothing will happen. And that's how the market plays in any market. In any market, that's what you'll see. So, um, let's look at quickly, I want to look at I want to quickly look at I want to see what's happening with the midterms. Let's look at the midterms real quick. Obviously, sponsored by Polymarket, the midterms. Let's go ahead and look at it. Can Donald Trump can Donald Trump save the Republican Party? Can Donald Trump save the Republican Party? With right now, midterms. Can Trump help the Republicans win the 2026 midterms? Obviously, sponsored by Polymarket. Where's Polymarket at here? With they have now it's 60% chance that the Democrats win the Senate. So now it's a 60% chance. 89% it's dropping slowly. 89% chance of the House. Let's look here. There's a 61% chance the Democrats sweep the midterms. So they have 61% that the Democrats will take both the House and Senate. 30% chance that the Democrats will take the House, Republicans will keep the Senate. And there's an 11% chance that the Republicans sweep. I don't I'm going to call it right now. And I know I've changed my mind a few times here. I'm going to call it right now. The Republicans are going to the Republicans are going to upset the Democrats. If I I think the Republicans are going to win back the House or the they're going to retain the House and the Senate. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're going to retain both. The odds are not in their favor, but I really do believe that Republican voters show up. And there's another thing that I believe, and that is there are a lot of people that are waking up to this Democrat socialist movement. Waking up to communism being brought to the United States of America, and they ain't fucking with it. I believe that wholeheartedly. I also believe the people that voted in these primaries for the old school Democrats who lost to these socialist, I believe these Democrats will vote Republican. I really do believe the Republicans will hold the House and the Senate. But at the end of the day, if they do hold it, what are you going to do? Are you going to actually work? Are you going to actually help Trump pass things that he's laid out here for the American people? That that's really the question. Because if you're not, it's no different than having Democrats in office, except that the Democrats will shut down the government and they will also try to implement communist fucking bills and laws into this country. That's how I'm feeling right now. Polymarket. Shout out to Polymarket. Midterms. Midterms are almost here. We are How many days away? I think we're like what, 22, 23 days? Something like that. Away from away from the midterms. So here we go. Here we go. What is going to happen? What is going to happen? It's on everybody's minds. I I think again, the Republicans will pull an upset. I think there will be a major upset. And the reason why I say a major upset is because you have all these things being put out there right now. I'm not saying Polymarket is wrong. I'm just saying in general, people people vote based on feelings. They really do. And what they're feeling at that very time. Trump is out there Trump is out there flying all across the country to speak at events, to push to push people to vote Republican. So we shall see. We shall see what happens. Midnight is absolutely tearing it apart in from all accounts. People have said Midnight, Charles, the entire crew, Midnight's team, Cardano, everybody's like, holy shit. Again, the same kind of vibe that was had about Midnight at Consensus is now being talked about from Token 2049. You can fade Charles Hoskinson if you want. I won't. That team's built well. Cardano's going to do well. Midnight's going to do well. Yes, Midnight sponsors, but you know what? I'm entitled to my own opinion too. I've been talking about Midnight. I'm going to repeat this again, way before the sponsorship. And think about this. It's pretty much close with Zcash. Except it offers a lot more. So if Zcash went ahead and made the run, what makes you think that Midnight won't? Everything that Charles has worked on has done pretty well. So sit back and think about that. Maybe do some research. Use your AI or your super intelligence platforms to go ahead and look and research a little bit into Midnight. Maybe even do a comparison. Midnight versus Zcash. What do both have to offer? How are they built? What makes one better than the other? Pros and cons. Why don't you do that? You should be doing that. I shouldn't be telling you this. You should be already doing it. Anyway, I want to thank everybody for tuning in to the broadcast. Let me read the quote of the day. Quote of the day. I got a lot to do too. A lot of clips to do. Clips will be coming out on all social media channels. God bless if you can see it on TikTok. I don't know what TikTok is doing to me. I have no idea what TikTok is doing to me. Crazy. Uh, and I will be making content also today. But let's go ahead and let's read the quote of the day. Quote of the day. Um, let's see. I want to see what's happening with the midterms. Let's look at the midterms real quick. Obviously, sponsored by Polymarket, the midterms. Let's go ahead and look at it. Can Donald Trump can Donald Trump save the Republican Party?

Uh, and I will be making content also today. But let's go ahead and let's read the quote of the day. Quote of the day. Um, let's see. I like this one. I like this one. You knew me when I was easy to reach, too forgiving, too available. Not anymore. I protect my peace now. And if that means if that means burning a bridge, pass me the gasoline. I'll say that again. You knew me when I was easy to reach, too forgiving, too available. Not anymore. I protect my peace now. And if that means burning a bridge, pass me the gasoline. I like this one also. I like this one also. Every phase of you was necessary. Every phase of you was necessary. It's true. You know what? It's crazy. A lot of people live with like regret. Now as now as you get older and more mature and there's a lot of growth that happens, you sit back and it's just like every single phase of your life was necessary. You needed to go through that in order to become who you are today. That's it. Whether it's you you are associated with a circle or you had a you had a friend, whatever it is, uh, you know, there was a lesson in that in all that. And that's how it should be taken. Just lessons and hopefully you've grown from that or outgrown these things and you've matured to the point where you can focus and understand and not be quick to react. And that's that's who I am. That's who I am. Even though my spirit is fire, like I'm a Sagittarius, it's a fire sign. And I I want I'm competitive and and I want to win. You guys already know that. Like I I will do everything to win. For the right reasons, not the wrong reasons. And that's another thing that you got to step back and think about. Are you doing things for the right reasons? Are you really doing things for the right? I I think all of us in life have done things for the wrong reasons to prove something. Like to prove you can do it. And there's no love in it. Like when you do things just to prove people wrong, there is absolutely no love in the art. Like you're just doing it to showcase that you can do it. And now what? You've wasted time doing something that you have absolutely no ambition in doing. You don't love it. You don't respect it. Like nothing. Like but you're just doing it to showcase to people. And that's the problem that we have in society today, to show people that you still have it or something. When you should be focused on things that you love doing. Even if it takes you a long time to get there. Even if it's a difficult path, you should focus on things that you love to do. I love showing up here every single day and doing this broadcast. I love breaking down all sorts of issues, whether it's politics, AI or super intelligence, crypto digital assets, sports, talk about sports, players, whatnot. I I love doing this. I love coming on to this microphone every single day. I it's it's a privilege and to look into this camera and get dressed up and have a conversation and bring on guests and sit back and have a conversation. That not only makes me think about things, life, business, but also makes the audience think at at the same time. I hope that my shows when you watch them, you walk away with like, yo, that was a dope show. I learned something. There was some value proposition within the breakdown that makes me walk away from it and say, you know what? Man, I never thought about that. Maybe I do things differently. Maybe he's wrong. And I'm going to come into his comments and tell him he was wrong on that. There's a conversation though. And more conversations should be had. More conversations in life should be had. People text message now, right? Think about this. Rather than speaking to a human being, rather than picking up the phone and speaking to somebody, right? Just like, hey, what's going on? Nobody does, hey, what's going on? Nobody speaks to anybody over the phone unless it's like important, I guess. Most of the conversations are being done on text messages. Look at social media. Like somebody might write something, you don't know the tone of voice that they wrote that message in. You don't know the tone of voice that people are writing you a text in. And now you're taking it the wrong way. Oh, he's being an asshole. Oh, he's being sarcastic. Oh, he doesn't believe in Now somebody is developing their own perception of what you've written out. Meanwhile, they're absolutely wrong. And what you've written out is probably the opposite. But that's because there are no text message there's no feelings in text messaging. You don't know what that person's feeling or what what what they're or how they're writing it emotionally. From an emotional standpoint. You you have no idea. So we live in an era now where even happy birthdays, it's a text message. It's not a phone call. Most people don't pick up the phone and call. It's just straight up, hey, happy birthday, wish you all the best, health, wealth and happiness. Okay. What happens to calling? It's it's only five minutes. You can fake it too. Again, we live in a society where everything's taken out of context. For good reason. It's because it's all written. Look at Hunter Biden. I had friends that watched the show. I had friends who watched the show. My friends watched the show in general. They're not in crypto. They just watched the show. And they watched it and they were like, man, I had a different perception of Hunter Biden. I had an absolute completely different perception of Hunter Biden. And after watching your show, it is nothing that I thought he was. And these are Republican saying it. It's not even Democrats. I got, you know, I got Democratic friends. I got Republican friends. But I had Republican cats that sent me a message and said, bro, like, I didn't expect Hunter Biden to when I watched your show, I didn't expect him to say the things he said. People were caught off guard. But that's what happens when you're having a great conversation. It's not scripted. It's just a convo. Conversations aren't scripted. You conversations should be here. I'm sitting right here, no paper in front of me. And we're just shooting the shit. I felt like I was just at at some random, you know, I don't know, random lounge. Just a lounge. Just one one of a podcast lounge, sitting back and having a convo. But again, even I was blown away. I'm telling you, I was blown away by the answers that Hunter was giving me. And people can say, well, Hunter Biden's a politician. Everybody's a politician. Hunter Biden has an agenda. Everybody has an agenda. So, top five. Hunter Biden, top five. Top five guests. And I've had a a a good amount of guests on the show. And we'll have more guests on the show in quarter four right now. Maybe they top him. I don't know. We have a lot of people coming on. We shall see who tops. But right now as it stands, top five. I I I walked literally if usually weekends, I I'm really focused on training and all that stuff. This weekend though, I was really focused on learning more about super intelligence, new things that were coming out, new programs, new platforms. And I was I was really like into that besides working out. But then I like I watched it again and then I and I'm watching the clips and I'm like, man, like this was a fucking good episode. Like this was a good conversation. A really good conversation. And then on top of that, like I said, the people that reached out to me and said like, this shit was good. This was great. Like D, this was great. Even some of the people that don't like me were making comments on social media like, bro, like, I don't always see eye to eye with DG, but like, man, that was a great episode. That's when you know it was a great conversation. I I should have left 20 minutes ago. I read you quotes. I gave you my take on Hunter Biden. I gave you my take on Trump and I think there will be a huge upset. Midterms 2026, I think the Republicans walk away with the sweep. Doesn't look like that with the polling, but we shall see. Uh, I talked about AI and how AI can go ahead and build you out a business. I talked about my book that I wrote that's coming out. So and it's for beginners, really. It's really for beginners. You know? So, could AI help you build a million-dollar business? I believe so. I believe if you if you use AI correctly, that all is possible. All is possible, especially if you're you're big about learning. Uh, shout out to TikTok for absolutely restricting me for no reason. Uh, shout out to Instagram and moving forward, Facebook as well. YouTube, it's been phenomenal. Honestly, a a breath of fresh air because the algorithm appreciates videos. And here I am. I am somebody who's on video all the time. And Instagram appreciates good videos, good conversations, good edited videos, and that's what I'm bringing. I love Twitter, but that's only for I feel like it's just messages and and boom. Because the videos that I put out, I'm telling you again, I've 30X the numbers elsewhere versus what I've done on Twitter. And I don't understand that. I I for the life of me, I don't understand it. Um, but thankfully, I'm not the only one that sees it. There are so many big brands, so many big name brands that are out there that experience are experiencing the same thing as me. So, uh, I'm not the only one. But this is what I always said though. Before I go, I said you needed to expand and you need to expand your brand. You got to be everywhere. You got to be streaming everywhere. You got to be everywhere. Bottom line. On that note, I spoke too much already. It's 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, okay? Tonight, you can catch Landy 9:00 p.m. Eastern time talking about crypto, talking about the markets, breaking them down. You want to front the you want to front run the markets? Go ahead and check out Landy's uh, Landy's show. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Mondays and Wednesdays, you have Rob Nelson. Rob Nelson Live. I have shit. I forgot to I I have to speak to Rob Nelson. Rob Nelson Live at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, Mondays and uh, Mondays and Wednesdays. And Akil Patterson, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. Eastern time. You can go ahead and catch him talking about all types of trending news and topics. Topics that mean something. On that note, thank you very much for tuning in from LinkedIn, from X, from YouTube, from TikTok, from Instagram, wherever you tuned in from. Thank you so much. I appreciate you guys. And I'll see you tomorrow. Same time, same place, same channel. With that note, let me say Akil Patterson, should I do it? Have a better day and an even better tomorrow. That's my boy Akil Patterson who says that.
