So speaking of a big care, what about like micro Strategy who Yeah, they said, have been making five hundred million dollars a day on Bigcoin. So like companies like that, would those be good to because those publicly traded companies stop? Would those be good to invest in? And if so at what?
At what price?
I think it's a good.
Way to invest in bitcoin in a non direct fashion. It's been really interesting to see the bitcoin minus not rally as much as bigcoin has. But yeah, I think I keep saying that Michael Saylers and New Kathy was so at some point, if y'all cared about Kathy because she originated this bigcoin institutional strategy, y'all should go send her a note and tell her thank you.
Mike.
But Michael strategy is a good way to get some exposure to it. I know I've gotten killed about my Square take, but if you look at some of the things Square is doing, yeah, may want to keep your eyes on what Jack and them are doing. I don't know if he went and kissed the rain and yet and if he's in there in a circle, uh, and if him and Elin had made up, But if so, Square shit bounced. But they they've been doing pretty well.
But isn't And I love Michael Taylor, but isn't five hundred million a day like one hundred and forty billion dollars or something like that.
In a quarter? You're talking like Amazon numbers.
Did he say five hundred million today?
That's a lot.
That's Apple's doing ninety four billion a year.
That's a lot.
So maybe it was five hundred a month. I don't know. Well, we'll see when a report comes out. But micro strategy is a good way to get exposure to bitcoin. If you can't afford it at ninety thousand per coin for sure.
Yeah, we talked about some ETFs to if you're not in bitcoin, obviously with black Rock over the past year, and they've done an ethereum one as well.
But yeah, when I started.
Looking at the economy that goes around bitcoin, obviously you've seen what coin has done. Coin Base, which is publicly traded micros strategy has just been incredible. But Square, like I said, man and we had this conversation a little earlier, but if you watch what it's doing right, this is still a fintech company. But their commitment that they made in twenty twenty, which at the time even Jack Dorsey apologized for. He said, like, we're not going to continue
doing this. They're commitment into bitcoin is now starting to pay off. And it's not because they're selling pit coin to they're trading it. It's actually because they actually sell
the equipment for firms that mine it. So this is another business that's being built around the economy of cryptocurrency and bitcoin specifically, which is interesting because it plays a part in the AI development too, which is absolutely we don't even look at it right At the time, we were trying to figure out when we're mining bitcoin, how can we do it faster? What are the semiconductors that can help us do it? Those semiconductors now turn into what we're going to be used, and now they are
used for artificial intelligence. Right, so we're talking about the nanometer chip, we're talking about five, we're talking about three. So Square has actually created the three nanometer mining chip four bitcoin, and I think everybody needs to pay attention to that because that's what's going to be used very shortly. I think they start they created in April of last year, but it's starting to be de deployed now and the largest bitcoin minor, which is corz Core Scientific, they're using
it exclusively. And so when we're watching Square, this is not just a fintech company now, right they've changed their name to block because of the blockchain, but we're starting to see the impact that bitcoin and cryptocurrency specifically is having inside of his business. They're not just relying on Hey, we were a fintech company. Now cryptocurrency has his fingerprints all over this company. And if you look at this chart. I said this the other night, there's something interesting happened
over there. We're we're going to watch this and start this even more closely over the next couple of months.
It's crazy to change your name to block and get blocked out the cryptocurrency industry because Elon Maddo.
You, yeah, the browards are really interesting.
Heat down. He actually came out and apologized.
So now to see a year later, Hey, we're going to cut back on I think they were trying to do Web five. They were like trying to be so far ahead and like, all right, let's just focus on this because this is promising and we have something here.
Yeah.
I do like the one thing I do love about Michael Sadler's strategy, though at least he's putting his money where his mouth is and investing heavily into it. I know Citron had the report that came out. It was interesting to see his reply. I can't wait till the reporting because I know they had some profit margin issues prior to but I'm looking to see when this report comes out what the profit margin looks like as well.
But everyone's just really redoing the Vanguard's strategy like this Bitcoin by bitcoin strategy on the institutional side reminds me of bogos etf and Indexcellent strategy just at a different sector, which has worked incredibly.
Well for Vanguard and black Rock on State Street.
So we are in a currency and capital war from the titans of business right now.
Everybody on art is your competition.
An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child in Massachusetts.

Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported. You will never return. But if you register using our CBP home app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, border and families will be protected.
