Bitcoin & Tesla are going to SKYROCKET
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone we kevin here the clips
you're about to see were filmed on march
1st which is really when tesla just kind
of started slightly going down
and bitcoin was getting ready to hit
all-time highs
take a listen to some of these warnings
from ross gerber he gives us an idea
about what we should have been paying
attention to before they both declined
but more importantly what his
projections are for the future
and keep in mind this is a rollercoaster
so go to medkevin.com
lemonade and get yourself life insurance
homeowners insurance and renters
insurance and even pet insurance
because any time you got a roller
coaster you want to make sure you're
insured roll the clip
so tell me i mean you've you're pretty
vocal on twitter i mean i pulled up some
uh some favorite tweets of yours uh
and uh you know i'll bring up some of
these but i i want to start with
with uh some of the more recent drama
that's going on
i want to start with uh your thoughts on
tesla
and bitcoin okay can you speak to maybe
both of these a little bit
maybe start with uh you know bitcoin
let's let's go down that rabbit hole a
little bit and then we'll talk tesla
and integrating this all so i want to
preface that
there's been a lot of speculation lately
in the stock market and
in digital assets like bitcoin and and a
lot of people
in the last six eight months have gone
into investing
they've been at home they have extra
capital and they're they're investing
and they're learning
so i like to preface everything is that
these are high-risk investments and
there's
high return with these investments but
we've seen a lot of the good side of
that
and not as much of a bad side of it
lately so as much as i'm bullish on
tesla and bitcoin long term
these are assets that are highly risky
and
and it's really not appropriate for a
lot of people who don't have diversified
portfolios
to just dive into high-risk assets so i
just want to preface it
because i'm really bullish on these
investments but i don't think that
people should just like put all their
money
in tesla and bitcoin now it might work
and you'd be
super rich but you also will go through
horrendous periods of time
of depression as these assets move you
know
down sometimes too um yeah so i think
they're both
incredibly disruptive innovative
technologies
one is a company and one is a system
let's say a monetary system
and so you know they're very different
to talk about
tesla is how i would say reordering
the energy system and transportation
systems in the world
to electric vehicles from gas um
it's its founder elon musk is is the
genius of our time
he's the visionary of our time he will
bring us to mars
he will transform the auto industry and
the energy industry
to a cleaner future so investing in
tesla to me makes a lot more sense than
investing in bitcoin
in the sense of as an investment why
because you own
part of a company and that company over
the next 10 years should produce
tremendous amount of revenue and profits
and is
cornering what i consider one of the
most
substantial important markets in the
markets
okay so you have energy and you have
transportation and here's a company
that's actually really good at both so
you know you know that's huge that's
huge
now bitcoin on the other hand is to me
the internet of money
so it's digital money and they built an
ecosystem around this
and they've created a un uh inflatable
currency in other words you can't print
more bitcoin
there's a finite amount of them and so
the way that they build bitcoin
in that governments don't control it
it's decentralized
it's global and allows individuals to
either transact
business with each other or to buy goods
and services
which it's not that efficient for is
genius and it was created post-financial
crisis because
what we learned was that governments and
banks aren't responsible
with our money and they can lose it all
and that's what happened in the
financial crisis and so
bitcoin was a byproduct of the financial
crisis and
so to me it's a hedge against government
that's what bitcoin thrives around it
thrives around uncertainty
it fires around governmental failure and
monetary
irresponsibility and we got all of it we
just got all of it
so you know so bitcoin is is coming in
his own you know
it's like bitcoins like the happiest
coin
of all time because everything that
bitcoin was created for is happening
so really you see political instability
uh in addition to the money printing
like this 1.9 trillion dollar stimulus
package
we see both of these as as big catalysts
or you see both of these as big
catalysts
for bitcoin to just continue a potential
rally we know it's volatile but you
think that's actually what's propping up
bitcoin
well it it's the fundamental
underpinning of
bitcoin but what's actually driving
bitcoin are institutions like myself so
so we are going to be i'm trying to
launch
our bitcoin program in two weeks um just
yelling at my partner about
them wasting time so that we can get
this done um
because the demand for digital
currencies is enormous
and institutions haven't been able to
offer that to their clients
in the past so what we're seeing behind
the scenes that
the public doesn't see is firms like
mine
are lining up at the door to figure out
how to do this
most aren't brave enough like me to just
go do it
and so they're waiting for people like
me to do it
before they do it so when scc says ross
what are you doing
and i have a whole plan and system
because i've done this before
they'll be like oh this is great this is
how it should be done you know so we're
trying to basically create the format
for investment firms
to to sell digital assets in the future
to their clients
um so we're working on that really hard
right now to launch this month
hopefully in two weeks which is maybe a
miracle
because we believe very much so that
clients should have a certain
diversification into digital assets and
and we think that
institutions will be doing this just
like tesla bought bitcoin and squares
bought bitcoin
and other companies will buy bitcoin we
are seeing in the investment side too
whether it's blackrock
infidelity and we're seeing it from the
ria side
i can't name other ones that are behind
us that are trying to launch their
programs
but one firm in particular is huge way
bigger than us even
and you know we can move faster
fortunately um
yeah but but the money
that will flow towards bitcoin the the
demand
for it from institutional investors will
be very large
uh and got willing they do an etf
it i mean yeah it goes it doubles you
know
triple that's the limit then it doubles
or triples wow okay so you're thinking
you know if we there's an etf you're 100
150k a coin easy huh
oh dude see the whole thing is you can't
buy coin and scale
easily you know like like for me to like
like
they figured out how to buy a billion
dollars the bitcoin finally you know
through
like coinbase or or gemini we're using
gemini
um but they kind of have the most
bitcoin you know like coinbase and
gemini i think
each have like 10 of bitcoin i i that
that's not a real
stat i i think they have something like
that in their custodian
so you've got the two pillars of bitcoin
and that's really the only places you
can trade and sk
in size so like most institutions
big institutions want to buy like 500
million or
100 million you know good luck with that
it's a lot effort
you know i'm not even sure how tesla
bought their bitcoin
um so so this is what's changing and as
institutions get in and bigger purchases
are made
the price will move higher um the total
market cap is
about a trillion dollars for for bitcoin
maybe less but
but when you think about the monetary
base of capital out there just cash
just cash in banks is trillions and
trillions
sitting in the bank right now right now
i i don't know the exact number but i
know it's like 5 trillion or something
like this
it's some crazy number okay sitting in
the bank so if just part of that money
was saying you know we're tired of
actually losing money to inflation
and moves to bitcoin
goodbye goodbye wow because
it seems like a lot of corporations
today well one of the
common ways i think uh corporations and
institutions invest in bitcoin is
through the gray scale of bitcoin trust
but it seems like that's
you're paying a premium there sometimes
you're paying a substantial premium
as high as 30 40 sometimes uh at the
same time you've got
uh your corporations that are
essentially
keeping their cash either as cash or as
treasuries which are losing value
why not put it into something like
bitcoin that's what you you're you're
thinking
that's almost inevitable argument that
was made you know
i i'm really close with all the tesla
people you know we're part of a
a club i guess you could say of tesla
investors who have weathered the ups and
downs
together um and one of the super smart
guys i deal with that
who's a tesla investor we discussed this
so if
if a traffic if a corporate treasury's
going to buy a bitcoin
it's not cash okay like you own cash in
a bond because it's liquid
i can i can use it for my company when i
need it you know you're a real estate
guy you know you get it
you got all these buildings you got to
have a certain amount of cash right
like something happens you just got to
have cash so if i put that into bitcoin
it might not be the right day to sell
the bitcoin
the day you know the the building needs
to be redone or whatever
and so it's like it's part of the
investment portfolio
of a corporation and the profile from a
risk perspective is
high so i i would say that most
corporations it's not
the smartest thing for them to do
because they need their capital to
to support the company you know like you
want something safe
but if you have this excess capital your
google your apple
your microsoft your berkshire hathaway
berkshire hathaway 134 billion in cash
right
warren buffett can't think of anything
to do with it anything
think about the inefficiency if that's
losing two percent
to inflation okay and then you have
taxes and whatever so when you figure
out he earns one or two percent on the
cash then he
has taxes and inflation he's losing one
to two percent so he's losing billions
holding cash where he could take five
percent of that let's say five billion
dollars or seven billion dollars
buy bitcoin as an investment and yeah
it's risky
but he could make five or 10x holding
cash or
new dollars or whatever you want to call
bitcoin
so i think it's for a more adventuresome
company but it certainly
makes a lot of sense to me i think for
tesla
you know elon comes from paypal so i
think he just gets it
got it yeah from maybe that engineer
kind of background is is it something
where
is bitcoin uh risky or
is it just volatile or or is there maybe
like
do those get mixed together sometimes
like is there really a risk that
bitcoin's gonna go to zero
or is it just like hey it fluctuates but
in the long run this is here to stay i
mean is bitcoin gonna go away
well when i started with bitcoin it was
about six or seven years ago
and it was a 250 dollar a bitcoin okay
and i thought for sure when i bought my
first bitcoin then that it would go away
like it would just be stolen from me
like i didn't believe in satoshi
i don't i still don't believe in any of
that you know
so like when they told me the story and
i
i work with some guys who are now very
very wealthy
you know like and they convinced me
to try it i don't think they convinced
me of bitcoin
now it's six years later and it's still
here
and the chinese have tried to kill it
and the americans have tried to regulate
it and
and every government has had their
issues with it it's still here
and all these characters that are behind
bitcoin and all these
wacky criminals and this and that
they're all still here
and and so now bitcoins at let's say 50
000
okay seven years later and i'm pretty
sold it's going to be here
you know like i i'm pretty sold it's
gonna be here
like if if they haven't killed it from
250
when it was a bunch of criminals to
today with institutions buying it and
it's worth 50
000 right i don't think zero
is the outcome most likely okay like i
just don't
now could bitcoin go down to 10 000
again
for sure for sure so i think
i've owned bitcoin through all these ups
and downs
you know people have this term diamond
hands you know they go oh do you have
a hands you know and i go dude you don't
get rich with paper hands you know
like you just you don't you know
