Satoshi. I cannot pronounce the last Satoshi. I cannot pronounce the last Satoshi. I cannot pronounce the last name. But in Nakamoto. name. But in Nakamoto. name. But in Nakamoto. Yeah. That guy, the person credited with Yeah. That guy, the person credited with Yeah. That guy, the person credited with creating creating creating the Bitcoin. He's the one that published the Bitcoin. He's the one that published the Bitcoin. He's the one that published original nine or 10 you know, a original nine or 10 you know, a original nine or 10 you know, a technical a nine or 10 page technical technical a nine or 10 page technical technical a nine or 10 page technical paper on it, etc. paper on it, etc. paper on it, etc. And on the back of that documentary And on the back of that documentary And on the back of that documentary a reporter from the New York Times, they a reporter from the New York Times, they a reporter from the New York Times, they like a whole in-depth research and the like a whole in-depth research and the like a whole in-depth research and the way he thinks he has the right person is way he thinks he has the right person is way he thinks he has the right person is he was matching the writing style of the he was matching the writing style of the he was matching the writing style of the initial nine to 10 page initial nine to 10 page initial nine to 10 page technical white paper technical white paper technical white paper which coincided when Bitcoin came out, which coincided when Bitcoin came out, which coincided when Bitcoin came out, the person that wrote it, Satoshi, the person that wrote it, Satoshi, the person that wrote it, Satoshi, disappeared and then this other guy disappeared and then this other guy disappeared and then this other guy started writing. So it's kind of like a started writing. So it's kind of like a started writing. So it's kind of like a Batman Bruce Wayne sort of thing, you Batman Bruce Wayne sort of thing, you Batman Bruce Wayne sort of thing, you know, never at the same time. But they know, never at the same time. But they know, never at the same time. But they have the same writing style. I mean old have the same writing style. I mean old have the same writing style. I mean old school investigative journalists, school investigative journalists, school investigative journalists, old school you know um old school you know um old school you know um forensic forensic forensic reading investigation but forensic reading investigation but forensic reading investigation but forensic writing super interesting and they did a writing super interesting and they did a writing super interesting and they did a whole podcast and of course the guy whole podcast and of course the guy whole podcast and of course the guy denies that he is a Satoshi. I think denies that he is a Satoshi. I think denies that he is a Satoshi. I think he's got two big reasons. Number one,

  9. he's got two big reasons. Number one, he's got two big reasons. Number one, you don't want people to know that you you don't want people to know that you you don't want people to know that you potentially have $70 billion worth of potentially have $70 billion worth of potentially have $70 billion worth of worth of Bitcoin and number two, the guy worth of Bitcoin and number two, the guy worth of Bitcoin and number two, the guy has a regular job and he's trying to has a regular job and he's trying to has a regular job and he's trying to take this company which is Bitcoin take this company which is Bitcoin take this company which is Bitcoin related public and the SEC related public and the SEC related public and the SEC when the SEC works, I'll say nothing when the SEC works, I'll say nothing when the SEC works, I'll say nothing more about that. They would want to know more about that. They would want to know more about that. They would want to know that an executive that's going that an executive that's going that an executive that's going public with a company public with a company public with a company discloses if they have any anything else discloses if they have any anything else discloses if they have any anything else tied to this company. So anyway, very tied to this company. So anyway, very tied to this company. So anyway, very interesting interesting interesting good listen. good listen. good listen. >> That is. That is. >> That is. That is. >> That is. That is. Yeah, I mean I saw I saw some interview Yeah, I mean I saw I saw some interview Yeah, I mean I saw I saw some interview briefly with the two guys that I think briefly with the two guys that I think briefly with the two guys that I think were with the reporters on this. were with the reporters on this. were with the reporters on this. Hey. Hey. Hey. And but also someone said they thought And but also someone said they thought And but also someone said they thought whoever is Satoshi is dead. whoever is Satoshi is dead. whoever is Satoshi is dead. But so maybe it's different people cuz But so maybe it's different people cuz But so maybe it's different people cuz cuz they're like why hasn't this person cuz they're like why hasn't this person cuz they're like why hasn't this person done anything with the billions that done anything with the billions that done anything with the billions that would be sitting in his wallet? I would be sitting in his wallet? I would be sitting in his wallet? I I don't want to well I mean you know I I don't want to well I mean you know I I don't want to well I mean you know I know that Politico if you talk really know that Politico if you talk really know that Politico if you talk really has the majority of podcast listening has the majority of podcast listening has the majority of podcast listening globally and more people globally and more people globally and more people to us than the New York Times. So I'm to us than the New York Times. So I'm to us than the New York Times. So I'm going to give you the answer Rob.

  10. going to give you the answer Rob. going to give you the answer Rob. Apparently Apparently Apparently the Satoshi character said that the Satoshi character said that the Satoshi character said that it will be found out through it will be found out through it will be found out through inheritance. If and when he dies inheritance. If and when he dies inheritance. If and when he dies right, things will pass on and then the right, things will pass on and then the right, things will pass on and then the community that that you know the folks community that that you know the folks community that that you know the folks that hold 20% of Bitcoin like Bill who that hold 20% of Bitcoin like Bill who that hold 20% of Bitcoin like Bill who just decided to join us by the way. just decided to join us by the way. just decided to join us by the way. They are waiting the evidence that they They are waiting the evidence that they They are waiting the evidence that they think will verify whether this is the think will verify whether this is the think will verify whether this is the guy or not is one guy or not is one guy or not is one has any has any has any monetary value move from the original monetary value move from the original monetary value move from the original wallet wallet wallet and two and two and two did they do they did they do they did they do they in order for the money to move from the in order for the money to move from the in order for the money to move from the wallet the cryptographic keys that match wallet the cryptographic keys that match wallet the cryptographic keys that match the wallet needs to be used. So that is the wallet needs to be used. So that is the wallet needs to be used. So that is how the community thinks if it's Satoshi how the community thinks if it's Satoshi how the community thinks if it's Satoshi these two things have to happen and if these two things have to happen and if these two things have to happen and if those two things don't happen is those two things don't happen is those two things don't happen is somebody else is Bill. Bill only has 10 somebody else is Bill. Bill only has 10 somebody else is Bill. Bill only has 10 billion in Bitcoin is broke. billion in Bitcoin is broke. billion in Bitcoin is broke. Right. Right. Right. And so like one day some kid just gets And so like one day some kid just gets And so like one day some kid just gets billions of dollars showing up. It's billions of dollars showing up. It's billions of dollars showing up. It's like woohoo.

  11. like woohoo. like woohoo. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> Yeah, here you go. Inheritance, that's >> Yeah, here you go. Inheritance, that's >> Yeah, here you go. Inheritance, that's how we find out. Well, I think the how we find out. Well, I think the how we find out. Well, I think the problem is that people think it's one problem is that people think it's one problem is that people think it's one person. person. person. And it wasn't a a completely engineered And it wasn't a a completely engineered And it wasn't a a completely engineered thing. thing. thing. Um you know, it's origins it's origins Um you know, it's origins it's origins Um you know, it's origins it's origins are timed very closely with some of the are timed very closely with some of the are timed very closely with some of the sanctions that were happening. And think sanctions that were happening. And think sanctions that were happening. And think about its purpose. It's just just the about its purpose. It's just just the about its purpose. It's just just the 2008. 2008. 2008. >> right now. I mean you know, I've already >> right now. I mean you know, I've already >> right now. I mean you know, I've already made a note of this that when you look made a note of this that when you look made a note of this that when you look at the volumes that are being transacted at the volumes that are being transacted at the volumes that are being transacted through this thing outstrips the actual through this thing outstrips the actual through this thing outstrips the actual value the market value of any of these value the market value of any of these value the market value of any of these cryptos. So it's not being used as a cryptos. So it's not being used as a cryptos. So it's not being used as a store of value is being used for money store of value is being used for money store of value is being used for money laundering. And then so when we have laundering. And then so when we have laundering. And then so when we have like the situations that we have around like the situations that we have around like the situations that we have around the world, the tensions, the sanctions the world, the tensions, the sanctions the world, the tensions, the sanctions it's the perfect vehicle to it's the perfect vehicle to it's the perfect vehicle to undermine any of those regimes.

  12. undermine any of those regimes. undermine any of those regimes. And why do you think it's one person? And why do you think it's one person? And why do you think it's one person? You know, this is a You know, this is a You know, this is a you know, incredibly well engineered you know, incredibly well engineered you know, incredibly well engineered mechanism for undermining mechanism for undermining mechanism for undermining the the dollar regime. the the dollar regime. the the dollar regime. It is. It is. It is. And and you know, probably the reason And and you know, probably the reason And and you know, probably the reason why BRICS doesn't doesn't have their own why BRICS doesn't doesn't have their own why BRICS doesn't doesn't have their own crypto or maybe even China doesn't exert crypto or maybe even China doesn't exert crypto or maybe even China doesn't exert themselves in being on reserve themselves in being on reserve themselves in being on reserve currencies, they have this thing. currencies, they have this thing. currencies, they have this thing. And so they'll just use that to transfer And so they'll just use that to transfer And so they'll just use that to transfer funds and if you look at what's funds and if you look at what's funds and if you look at what's happening in some of these conflicts, happening in some of these conflicts, happening in some of these conflicts, they're either paying in crypto, they're they're either paying in crypto, they're they're either paying in crypto, they're asking to be paid in crypto. asking to be paid in crypto. asking to be paid in crypto.

I mean it's like we have funded? I mean it's like we have funded? I mean it's like we have sanctions everywhere but sanctions everywhere but sanctions everywhere but how are they holding? And it seems that how are they holding? And it seems that how are they holding? And it seems that the funding for the funding for the funding for a lot of these a lot of these a lot of these arsenals out there arsenals out there arsenals out there that shouldn't technically shouldn't be that shouldn't technically shouldn't be that shouldn't technically shouldn't be there because you're economically there because you're economically there because you're economically constricting certain parties, how come constricting certain parties, how come constricting certain parties, how come they don't work?

And immediately the next thing I'm going And immediately the next thing I'm going And immediately the next thing I'm going to look at is how people went around it to look at is how people went around it to look at is how people went around it because when you're talking about you because when you're talking about you because when you're talking about you know, it's supply and demand, right? All know, it's supply and demand, right? All know, it's supply and demand, right? All of a sudden it's a problem to get things of a sudden it's a problem to get things of a sudden it's a problem to get things from here. I mean I think you know, Rob from here. I mean I think you know, Rob from here. I mean I think you know, Rob and I have talked about moving and I have talked about moving and I have talked about moving medicines not counterfeit moving legit medicines not counterfeit moving legit medicines not counterfeit moving legit drugs from country A to country B just drugs from country A to country B just drugs from country A to country B just because of the tax situation you will because of the tax situation you will because of the tax situation you will make a killing. Why make a killing. Why make a killing. Why if we're able to move something whether if we're able to move something whether if we're able to move something whether it's money through crypto, it's money through crypto, it's money through crypto, it's it's going to be done. it's it's going to be done. it's it's going to be done. I just think it's funny that we were so I just think it's funny that we were so I just think it's funny that we were so worried worried worried about the impact on the grid from about the impact on the grid from about the impact on the grid from Bitcoin mining and that seems like so Bitcoin mining and that seems like so Bitcoin mining and that seems like so 2008.

  14. 2008. 2008. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Now it's like no, Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Now it's like no, Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Now it's like no, that's not who ended up being the energy that's not who ended up being the energy that's not who ended up being the energy hog. Mhm. hog. Mhm. hog. Mhm. It it's It it's It it's >> but the problem there was really the >> but the problem there was really the >> but the problem there was really the question of question of question of um the transaction cost. Is do you need um the transaction cost. Is do you need um the transaction cost. Is do you need to to to burn that many burn that many burn that many do you need that much energy in order to do you need that much energy in order to do you need that much energy in order to burn that many tokens? burn that many tokens? burn that many tokens? Which is ironic cuz with AI we're Which is ironic cuz with AI we're Which is ironic cuz with AI we're talking about tokens as well. I have to talking about tokens as well.

So everybody was tripping out and that So everybody was tripping out and that So everybody was tripping out and that guy actually guy actually guy actually made the comment that AI and blockchain made the comment that AI and blockchain made the comment that AI and blockchain and this whole idea of token minting are and this whole idea of token minting are and this whole idea of token minting are tied together. And you know what? He's tied together. And you know what? He's tied together. And you know what? He's actually actually actually ironically right. And ironically right. And ironically right. And and it's weird how GPUs and Nvidia kind and it's weird how GPUs and Nvidia kind and it's weird how GPUs and Nvidia kind of have this lineage um through this of have this lineage um through this of have this lineage um through this whole whole whole series of series of series of you know, you know, you know, hype cycles, right? Because you know, hype cycles, right? Because you know, hype cycles, right? Because you know, Nvidia was big on crypto mining and then Nvidia was big on crypto mining and then Nvidia was big on crypto mining and then about three two years ago two years ago, about three two years ago two years ago, about three two years ago two years ago, they completely dropped crypto mining they completely dropped crypto mining they completely dropped crypto mining because everyone went to accelerate it.

  16. because everyone went to accelerate it. because everyone went to accelerate it. Everybody went to ASICs. They already Everybody went to ASICs. They already Everybody went to ASICs. They already figured that out. Kind of like what's figured that out. Kind of like what's figured that out. Kind of like what's happening now with AI. People are happening now with AI. People are happening now with AI. People are realizing GPUs aren't all that great realizing GPUs aren't all that great realizing GPUs aren't all that great and we're seeing that. and we're seeing that. and we're seeing that. I mean look at Intel. Now everybody's I mean look at Intel. Now everybody's I mean look at Intel. Now everybody's talking about CPUs, right? Wow, surprise talking about CPUs, right? Wow, surprise talking about CPUs, right? Wow, surprise surprise. surprise. surprise. >> It's cool again, man. It's cool again. >> It's cool again, man. It's cool again. >> It's cool again, man.

Hey, can someone tell me can someone Hey, can someone tell me can someone Hey, can someone tell me can someone speaking of Intel can someone tell me speaking of Intel can someone tell me speaking of Intel can someone tell me that how just a few months ago that how just a few months ago that how just a few months ago Intel, you know, they dumped Pat Intel, you know, they dumped Pat Intel, you know, they dumped Pat Gelsinger cuz for some reason he wasn't Gelsinger cuz for some reason he wasn't Gelsinger cuz for some reason he wasn't getting it done. And then they bring in getting it done. And then they bring in getting it done. And then they bring in Lip-Bu Tan and he just adopts the same Lip-Bu Tan and he just adopts the same Lip-Bu Tan and he just adopts the same plan as Gelsinger basically. And their plan as Gelsinger basically. And their plan as Gelsinger basically. And their stock was $19 stock was $19 stock was $19 and they were just like and they were just like and they were just like and then Lip-Bu Tan has to go have a and then Lip-Bu Tan has to go have a and then Lip-Bu Tan has to go have a meeting in the White House and then all meeting in the White House and then all meeting in the White House and then all of a sudden okay, I love you now.

I mean Allbirds it it it's irrelevant. I mean Allbirds it it it's irrelevant. I mean Allbirds for those of you that don't know for those of you that don't know for those of you that don't know Allbirds was a brand. They were making Allbirds was a brand.

And And And >> Yeah, [clears throat] yeah. I mean, but >> Yeah, [clears throat] yeah. I mean, but >> Yeah, [clears throat] yeah. I mean, but see that's why I you know, I I see that's why I you know, I I see that's why I you know, I I I like my role as a technology analyst I like my role as a technology analyst I like my role as a technology analyst and an industry analyst and an industry analyst and an industry analyst because I don't have to deal with that.

  18. because I don't have to deal with that. because I don't have to deal with that. And you know, the ground truth, the And you know, the ground truth, the And you know, the ground truth, the markets are even more detached now from markets are even more detached now from markets are even more detached now from ground truth than before. A lot of these ground truth than before. A lot of these ground truth than before. A lot of these guys that you listen to on CNBC, a lot guys that you listen to on CNBC, a lot guys that you listen to on CNBC, a lot of the Wall Street analysts have no idea of the Wall Street analysts have no idea of the Wall Street analysts have no idea what they're talking There's a small what they're talking There's a small what they're talking There's a small number. They're few, you know, like number. They're few, you know, like number. They're few, you know, like Stacy Rasquin. He He actually gets Stacy Rasquin. He He actually gets Stacy Rasquin. He He actually gets things, right? I mean, because he has a things, right? I mean, because he has a things, right? I mean, because he has a semi background, you know, he's worked semi background, you know, he's worked semi background, you know, he's worked in fabs and stuff like that. So in fabs and stuff like that. So in fabs and stuff like that. So he he he gets it, but the problem is is this. If gets it, but the problem is is this. If gets it, but the problem is is this. If you were a semi analyst, you really knew you were a semi analyst, you really knew you were a semi analyst, you really knew semiconductors and the focus was on the semiconductors and the focus was on the semiconductors and the focus was on the chip. You When you're covering companies chip. You When you're covering companies chip. You When you're covering companies that are in the semi industry, you that are in the semi industry, you that are in the semi industry, you didn't really go upstream too much.

You didn't really have to understand the didn't really have to understand the didn't really have to understand the dynamics of the systems and end markets dynamics of the systems and end markets dynamics of the systems and end markets as much as And that was always really a as much as And that was always really a as much as And that was always really a question for a lot of the Wall Street question for a lot of the Wall Street question for a lot of the Wall Street analysts, right? Even for industry analysts, right? Even for industry analysts, right? Even for industry analysts A lot of industry analysts, I analysts A lot of industry analysts, I analysts A lot of industry analysts, I mean, look at like with Telco, mean, look at like with Telco, mean, look at like with Telco, everyone's trying to make a shift to AI everyone's trying to make a shift to AI everyone's trying to make a shift to AI because all of a sudden AI is a big because all of a sudden AI is a big because all of a sudden AI is a big thing. But these analysts have no thing. But these analysts have no thing. But these analysts have no background in AI, right? And so they're background in AI, right? And so they're background in AI, right?

  19. don't have a grounding on this stuff. don't have a grounding on this stuff. And And And now now now these so-called experts they're on a these so-called experts they're on a these so-called experts they're on a learning curve, most of them, right? Cuz learning curve, most of them, right? Cuz learning curve, most of them, right? Cuz cuz you know, I was listening to CNBC cuz you know, I was listening to CNBC cuz you know, I was listening to CNBC this morning and they said that True this morning and they said that True this morning and they said that True North was pivoting to AI North was pivoting to AI North was pivoting to AI today. today. today. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> And I was like Why? >> And I was like Why? >> And I was like Why?

Because AI and you go, "It passes." Why? Because AI and you go, "It passes." Why?
