Transcript of Crypto Predictions 2025: Bitcoin to $400K? | Dan Young DSH #1222
Digital Social HourWe'll have one this time. If they ban it from stock trading, it should probably load up.
Yeah. You think that ban will actually happen?
It could happen. But here's the interesting thing, again, being that the President owns so much crypto and so many Congress members, I don't think crypto will be held down too much from that.
All right, guys. Dan Young here today, someone I'm known for, Man, seven, eight years?
Long time, man.
Wow, man. Finally got a podcast. You're so busy, so it's hard getting you out here.
You, too, man.
Yeah. No, but you are balls deep in the crypto space. You're crazy. Ethan, leaving now is a risk for your portfolio with all the meme coins.
It's nuts, huh? You know?
It's wild. Stuff down like 40 % in an hour. Yeah. How's the buy? Yeah. How's the fund going? The crypto fund?
Fund is great. Fund one is like 98 % full. So we're launching fund two in March. Nice.
Congrats, man. Yeah, with Bridger, right? Bridger Pennington. Shout out to Bridger. The Fun King.
The Fun King.
Man, that guy has- That's his family. How many funds now?
Well, his family, his dad is like, had this thing. He retired, but his dad's fund is $48 billion. Holy crap. Pretty juicy now.
That must be one of the biggest of all time. It's pretty big. What's in that one? Is it stocks or?
Real estate.
Oh, real estate. Tried and true, right? Tried and true. Yeah. Sometimes you need some safe investments. Yeah. Real estate's safe, right?
We take some of our profits from our bag and roll it into boring old man investments.
Yeah. I remember you used to tell me about some flips you used to do.
I keep telling you to buy real estate with extra chatter.
Well, I finally bought some. Oh, good. Yeah. I got one now, and I want to get more. I get these ads for... What are your thoughts on the Section 8 stuff?
It's trending like anything, but you know how that AirBnB took a big trend? But I just think just accumulate, accumulate, and be patient five years plus. Good cash flow, life If it's good, hopefully, rates come down.
We were in the Uber on the way here looking up house prices in Park City. Some of them were like five million.
Yeah, they've gone up. I bought one in Salt Lake in holiday for a million and a half, and it's like five million now. Holy crap. It's been a while. Salt Lake?
Yeah. So even Salt Lake is going up. Yeah. Dude, it's nuts, though, because when you have big events like Sundance, you can rent this out for a thousand bucks a day. It's crazy, huh? That's what the guys here are paying.
That's not that bad. That's not that bad.
Yeah, but you can pretty much make your mortgage in two weeks. You can. Real estate could be the way. You got to know what you're doing, though. Yes. A lot of people lose money in real estate.
Yes. Not as much as crypto when they mess up. We'll try to help everyone.
Crypto has got to be like a 97 % losing rate for the average person, I'd imagine.
It's pretty bad. It's just like when they go to Vegas and they think they're going to be a poker player.
I mean, same with stocks, though. Yeah. I think 90 % of people lose on stocks.
Too emotional, most people.
Yeah. But you've got good control over that, right?
Well, we try to meditate, being a volcan and all.
Yeah. Plus you the data analysis. So I feel like you're pretty comfortable when you make investments.
Yeah, we do a lot of diligence before each position that we put into.
So it's been a good ride. Yeah. You don't just see one video on social media and buy off someone's opinion. No. Trying not to see. What a lot of people do. You saw with the Huktuya coin.
That was great. Trump coin. Huktuya, Melania.
Now, you could have made money on Trump and Melania, though.
You could have made some money.
But you had to be there early. Short term, yeah. Did you get in?
I got some at $8, like $8 something.
It was pretty early.
So I did okay, and then sold it pretty quick. But I'm not a day trader. But that one was fun. But we thought it was a rug when it launched, right? Yeah. His account has probably been hacked, but we knew it wasn't hacked, most likely because it went on true social at the same time, right?
Yeah.
So both accounts getting hacked, probably a low chance of that.
I thought the Melania launch was a dumb move.
That was pretty dumb.
Because that messed up the Trump coin price, right?
Yeah, everybody just moved a little bit over. But, I mean, the whole family's in it now.
They'll launch a baron coin next. Possibly.
But their big money is in their own private holdings like that World Liberty and a few things like that.
They're stuck in crypto, right? I just saw them buy a bunch of Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Lots of Ethereum, lots of Bitcoin. Well, actually, it's mainly Ethereum in that deal. I don't know how much Bitcoin they actually have, but they're buying a lot of the tokens that will be hopefully tax-free on US At least, right.
Was Solana one of them?
I don't think they have a whole bunch of soul, but just big stacks of Ethereum in there. But you are seeing Chainlink and some other stuff.
So we'll see what happens. Yeah. So you think there's a good chance crypto could be tax-free in the future?
American-based crypto. But I got a crazy theory. So whatever Trump's buying indirectly or whatnot with, let's say, World Liberties, whatever he's buying there, here's the thought. If If the President is buying that and he is hiring all the guys who regulate that, there's probably a good chance that whatever he's buying is going to go up for the next few years. There's a darn good chance because he's going to put the wind in the sales. And with Congress, possibly being completely banned from dealing with stocks, we're just going to move to crypto, which is even more fun, right?
That's a good point. They are finally getting some heat on the stock stuff, and the donations and who's donating what to Buy what Nancy Pelosi buys and don't buy what Jim Kramer recommends.
People have done these mirror trades.
The inverse Kramer ETF or whatever. That's right. He gets so pissed whenever he sees it. It gets all red. I mean, it's wild that everything he says goes down. You got to try to be that bad, I feel like. That's crazy. If you're shooting that low, that's amazing. That's a skill in itself. It is crazy. But are you bullish on Bitcoin and Ethereum still?
I am. I have some predictions for that. You want to hear them? Let's hear it. So right now we're floating around 100,000 around there. But here's the thing. Every four years, there's a Bitcoin having, where the mining difficulty becomes twice as hard. And then we typically see a bull run. Bitcoin first, usually Ethereum second, then alt, and then a bunch of Degen small stuff. But Ethereum is stalled out. And so we have seen some alt rise. But here's the thing. The biggest thing is the government, if they start buying Bitcoin and other crypto for strategic reserve, then, of course, our friends in China and Russia and all these other countries are going to be in this mad rush to buy. Just like when they started accumulating gold. But I think even with the Biden administration, there was a big blessing. So Fidelity and BlackRock launched their ETFs, Bitcoin and Ethereum. That got approved while Gary Gensler was head of SEC and during the Biden administration. That's a blessing from the people who we thought didn't like crypto. Here's the thing. If you look at all those companies that dropped ETFs, they control almost over 20% of the S&P 500.
So do you think the government is going to let BlackRock fail? I mean, if BlackRock and Fidelity went insolvent, we would be like an Armageddon for the US economy. Being that those are there, it's pretty inevitable. It's like garage banned mainstream. My Bitcoin prediction, if we don't do a strategic reserve, it could be around 120 to 200,000 in that range. We don't know, but maybe by the end of the year, possibly. If that strategic reserve launches, I mean, some of my friends and our acquaintances are saying $400,000, a million dollar. Cathy Wood's like, Over a million in this short window, possibly.
Michael Saylor said that, too.
It could happen. Larry Finks, what is he putting it at? At 400,000? And he's the CEO of BlackRock.
Right. So he's probably super conservative on it.
Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
I mean, BlackRock just bought some Ethereum today. Did you see that?
Oh, they're always buying.
Well, they bought another huge chunk today.
Oh, man.
For them, it's nothing. But for us, it's a lot. So I don't know. Did it go up today?
Ethereum has been going up the last couple of days. Okay. Pretty significantly more, way more than Bitcoin.
Yeah, so they could be stocking up. And other countries might have reserves, too, if they follow our suit.
Oh, yes. Gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum. And Ripple, obviously, is pretty hot right now.
I missed that one, dude. Did you get on that one?
I've had Ripple for six, seven years. Damn.
Diamond hand.
But it was crap. They just flutter sideways, but I just let it sit. You have tokens, right?
Yeah, but that's where people lose money when it's sideways, they just sell.
Yeah, they freak out because they get bored.
But you believed in the banking aspect of it, right? That was always their goal.
That's what we thought would happen. And really, the big thing that caused it from going up is the SEC had Gary suing him. So with all this legal stuff clearing out, boy, that's a really good opportunity.
Did Gary step down yet, dude, or is he still- He's out. He's out? Thank God. Oh, my gosh. He went after every US exchange, every US token. I mean, he probably would have went after Trump. Yeah.
He's teaching at some college, and some big company is threatening to not give money to that college or anything unless they get rid of them. Really? Yeah. Because he made a lot of people like not... He's not a He's friends with a lot of people that are suing.
I mean, he let FTX happen, too. That was probably the biggest crypto scam of all time.
It's crazy. You got Diddy and Sam sitting in the same cell, maybe.
And Luigi. Oh, man. Yeah, all three of them are... No, they're literally in the same prison. It's It's crazy. It's crazy. I just had Tiffany Fong on. She was talking about that. You also said the Bank of America CEO is interested in the space, right?
Yeah. So there's a big law change now where banks can do more custody for crypto. So you're going to see probably Bank of America, in every major bank now, you're going to be able to deposit bitcoins there just like you would in your checking account with dollars. So that's pretty mainstream.
That's big, man, because I got banned.
You're banned?
Not from that one, but from another bank for using crypto.
Oh, yeah, we've done that. We've had that problem, too. Shopping for a bank to deal with crypto.
Everyone in crypto has dealt with it. Oh, man. Because once you get to a certain level in crypto, they just ban you. Just for saying you use crypto. It's a big deal in the space.
That's clearing out.
We're all good? I got to hit up Chase then and see if they'll take me back.
I think we might have just taken a wire from Chase.
In crypto?
Us dollars. But if someone sends our When it gets to wire and it says the word crypto and the receiving company, then they're like, flag this thing.
That's why I did a Zelle with some crypto and it got flagged. Sucks. And I had millions in revenue through that bank.
Man, so weird. I don't care. So weird.
And 10 plus years of relationship.
You know what's crazy, dude? We're back in the late '90s. It's like back to the future. Remember, well, you were actually probably even born. I didn't watch that movie.
You were like a little?
No, this was like real life.
Yeah, I was born in '97.
Yeah, so what the deal is, is back then, everybody said that the Internet was a scam. Oh, it's used for nefarious crap, all that. And I remember speaking in Las Vegas at Comdex about, Hey, the Internet's the next thing. Everyone's going to be buying everything there, and now everybody is, right? Imagine you had got involved with some of the stocks on the Internet, Amazon, Facebook, when it was like 2008. Some of the stuff early years when everyone said, it's scammy. But that's where we are with crypto right now. So everyone's like, well, if I had only... But you're sitting in the what if I had only right now? Imagine getting it in video or Microsoft or Amazon when they were new. And that same similar opportunity chain is happening.
With Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple.
Bitcoin. It just became Bitcoin. It's like Bitcoin is a huge, so it's like Apple stock, right?
Bitcoin, you won't really get 100X at this point.
Yeah, it's It's already risen a lot. So at least timing-wise, depending on when this podcast plays, right now, it's very beginning of 2025. And if our crystal balls were working, we would see the bull running through Q3, Q4.
When does the having end this year?
Well, having already happened a little over a year ago. It happened. Usually after that, you start seeing Bitcoin starting to rise within the year. When we were seeing that, it actually early ran. But now there's a good chance you're going to see a lot of the other tokens take a massive lift.
Do you think this will be the last bull run?
I don't think so. It may not follow the familiar four-year cycles anymore because the four-year cycles were like garage band, meaning that it was small. It was a bunch of nerds working with it. But now with BlackRock, again, and Fidelity, and if the government starts buying it, then it's just like everybody needs it. It's like when the iPhone first came out, it was like, Apple, they're Okay. Yeah.
I feel like those didn't take off right away, right?
No, they had to get traction, right?
I think my first one was the 6. Which model was your first one? 3. So you were in early.
3 S or something. Okay.
Iphone 3, wow. That's the earliest I've heard. That one, honestly. Good job. Did you just like the tech behind it?
That was just cool. You get all your stuff in one and it makes life easy.
I feel like they haven't made any major changes, though.
It feels like the same thing, huh?
It feels like it, Just a little bit. They upgrade the camera a little bit, little slight changes. But now, did you see this AI one, actually? This AI update?
Oh, yeah.
I'm playing with that. Dude, it's interesting. I turned it off because it was a little invasive, but I think it's interesting.
It's spying on you.
I would get a paragraph text message and it would summarize it for me without me even wanting that. I just woke up one day when it was on. I just don't want to having access to my messages and stuff, so I turned it off, but I thought it was interesting.
Oh, but man, then you better remove TikTok and Deep Seek, man.
You think so? Oh, yeah. Why?
Because our long lost relatives in China are probably reading everything.
I never knew what to believe with that stuff, dude. I think, though, they I'm going to access a lot of that.
But then again, our own government is probably able to access all our stuff, too.
Yeah. So would you rather have Chinese governments knowing or your own? Which one are you more scared of, I guess?
Well, our own government because they'll probably... They can do whatever they want to to you based on that here in China, they don't care. Maybe they're just measuring American patterns. If it's like Elon Musk's iPhone or something, or Jeff Bezos or the President's iPhone, that's concerning. True.
I share the same philosophy. I'm more scared of our government than China's buying on us.
Yeah, they probably just want to be able to see what a lot of executives here are doing. So Jensen Wong and the stuff, what's going on in his iPhone, man? Like little news about AI, and they know the news before anyone knows the news.
Oh, insider trading. There's sites that you could just copy Congress's stock trades. It is. There are. And you make like 40, 50% a year.
Some of them, huh?
Some of them, yeah.
A lot of people copy Nancy Pelosi.
She's not even the top one. She's number seven. Really? Yeah. She's just the most famous because she's an old lady. There's other people higher than her, but they're middle-aged men, I guess. So it's more plausible in people's eyes. But with Nancy, what is she? Like, 80 years old? She's pretty old. Yeah. She just had a fall and stuff, and she's still trading while she's in the hospital. You know? Come on, it's wild.
I wonder if she has a crypto bag, huh?
I wouldn't be surprised. She's got some good intel.
She definitely will have one this time. If they ban her from stock trading, she'll probably load up. Yeah.
You think that ban will actually happen?
It could happen. But here's the interesting thing, again, being that the President owns so much crypto and so many Congress members, I I don't think crypto will be held down too much from that.
I feel that. Now, obviously, you're in the computer space, too. Did you see the NVIDIA crash the other day?
Yes, because of deep seek.
Yeah. What do you think of that?
China came out with an AI at all. They said they developed for five and a half million dollars only, and it's more powerful than OpenAI ChatGPT and stuff. But I believe they're lying, and this is what I mean. I believe they're actually doing one of two things. One, they actually They have super high-end GPUs that weren't allowed to be exported to China, but somehow they got their hands. Or they're using it by proxy. So they're just using cloud-based servers that are American servers to do that. And how they got their code is they probably train their model by interacting with OpenAI, right?
Wow. With ChatGPT. That'd be crazy.
But the Chinese copy us on everything. If you come out with a phone, a car, or anything, then they got something.
They're so good at that. Oh, man. Dude, Rolexes are so good The fake ones are so good. Now, you can't even tell.
Yeah, I saw this one check. She's like this Hermes bag pro or something. And she's like, check out this bag. And look at this $50 one bought from China. And the buckles, everything quality were so hard to tell me.
I mean, that's how good they are. They're faking designer so easily. They call it one of one now because it literally is a replic. It's crazy. It's scary. I still like NVIDIA, though, because look, even if they have a better model, they're going to need chips to power it, right?
So it's like they just made it more efficient.
Is there still a shortage? I remember when I bought my computer off you, the massive shortage on chips, right?
Massive shortage on the new 50 series just came out and Blackwell, right? Nvidia's new AI servers and Meta and Amazon and Tesla. They've all pre-ordered so much. So pretty much right now, as fast as NVIDIA can pump out those GPUs, they're going to sell them.
Are they Are you doing that for the VR space, mainly?
Probably AI. Ai processing.
Yeah. Yeah, because that requires a lot, right? A lot of processing.
Yeah, and with crypto, we're not... Back then, the demand was because people were mining with GPU, right?
But they're not. Yeah, and you used to be a miner.
Yeah, in In 2014, we built the biggest Bitcoin mining facility in Utah.
Crazy. So that was when Bitcoin was what?
A couple of hundred bucks? Our mining cost was about 350, 350 of Bitcoin.
So it was really cheap. Holy crap. Imagine if you kept How's that running.
Oh, man. Well, now the electricity, too expensive on the havings.
Yeah. No money. People don't factor in the electricity cost, right?
Unless you have free electricity.
Which some governments have. I think was El Salvador? I know one place is doing it for free.
Some of them use geothermal. They have heat that's trapped underground in the hot water and natural ways to do it. But it'll be interesting to see how that shifts because everyone's been moving away from this whole heavy-duty mining thing to proof of stake, which means it's different. It doesn't suck as much electricity.
Ethereum did that, right? Yeah. It was supposed to lower the fees and it didn't. It's still the same. I was so excited when they did that. I thought the price would go up and then...
There is so much money to be made, though, for young people. We were just talking about before we started in this as all the meme coins and all the different things like that. But you remember back in the NFT day, we were way into that back in the day. And meme coins, people are getting meme coin fatigue. Meaning right now, there's so many coming out. There's like 3. 8 million tokens now. And back in the day, there was maybe a few hundred thousand. And so being it so easy for people to go to that pump. Fund and just make their own token. It's just going up and down. But I think people are getting sick of that. And so I do see a lot of capital migrating actually out of memes into actual ecosystems, maybe into Solana itself, Ripple, things like that, you might see more movement.
I think so, too, because too many people are losing their ass.
Do you remember when everyone got NFT fatigue?
Yeah. It was like, borrow. Yeah, that space crashed, man. I mean, there was a metaverse fatigue, too.
Do you still have any apes?
I still have my Mutant Ape.
Yeah, I have my Mutant 8, too.
I never sold a single NFT, to be honest. Yeah, just keep them, huh? I just was buying them to network with communities because each NFT had a good community of thousands of people that were like, if you bought the right NFT, they were high level people. Yeah. So I just used NFTs as networking.
That's the same thing, too. I still have my Mutant, too. Yeah.
I don't know what they're at now, but...
2. 3 Ethereum.
It's not bad compared to most projects. Everything else other than that and Penguin's It's crashed. It's crazy. Yeah. What a wild time, NFTs. It's crazy. Yeah. But like you said, if you're on the Internet every day, you have these opportunities. Some people made a killing with NFTs.
People really need to dig into crypto right because it's going to go mainstream, but it hasn't actually gone super mainstream. If you take the average... If you take the whole US population, still a very small amount of people actually own a decent amount of crypto. It's still so small. All of crypto right now, as of today, is what about three and a half trillion? Well, NVIDIA is three and a half trillion. So all of crypto is the size of one privately held private company. It is the early stages still. That's true. So people that aren't getting involved, I think they're crazy.
Yeah. Well, NVIDIA is number one now, though, right, for stocks.
In which is a market cap. It's which is. Well, they got their butts kicked for 17% in a day from Deep Seq. And I think Microsoft They took the thrown out. But it switches, right?
Yeah. Either way, the fact that they blew up from three years ago.
Oh, yeah. Insane.
If you got in NVIDIA, you're up a lot.
It's crazy. Ten grand, I think, invested in I was talking on another podcast in '19 about it. About a few weeks to go forward, there are little 15% adjustment would be worth over $400,000. Holy crap.
That's crazy.
You know how people freak out when crypto drops? They freak out, right? Yeah. I don't know if people know this, but Amazon and Apple in the year 2000, within the year, dropped over 70 %.
Wow. That's high for a stock, especially a public stock like that.
But remember back when the Internet was earlier, people thought it was not So for sure, just like they feel about crypto right now.
So it's like... I remember meta after the metaverse flop tanked, right?
Yeah, a little bit. Then it really ran up, right? Yeah.
What caused it to run up again?
Well, they're making money from ads, right?
It's hard to bet against Doc, dude. And now he's making the right move, sucking up to Trump, I think.
He's getting all buff now. He's got a chain on.
Whoever did his rebrand, they need to be paid more because he did well with that.
And getting on Joe Rogan, smart dude.
Yeah, getting on Rogan, being more personable. He was like a robot before, like five years ago.
Like a lizard. A lizard robot.
There are theories of that. Do you believe in diversification?
I do. You're talking within crypto or all things?
No, just investing in general.
Yeah, I think we've talked about this for years, for over seven years. I'm like, hey, when we make a lot of money during bull runs, I've always said to you, man, sell some of that and move to some boring cash flowing assets like in real estate. Yeah. And real estate is super exciting. But when you get really old, it's nice to have a bunch of it and you just get your wire every month and you got your property management company taking care of it. They're not making a whole bunch more land. And real estate is... As long as humans are here, we're going to need it, right? Yeah.
That's something I've learned. That's a different business of life just like... Because I'm good at making money, but keeping it and investing it and growing it, that's a whole nother business.
Real estate is great. Equities, the stocks, obviously, things like that. Still, just about every month, this sounds crazy, I go to the coin store and I buy one ounce of gold.
Really? Yeah.
One ounce of gold.
I got some gold, too.
People thought this was crazy, but when I first started buying gold in the year 2000, it was $325 an ounce. Now it's what? 26, 70.
Really? Yeah. So 8X. And what year did you buy it?
I started in 2020. Wait, so that's 5X? It's something pretty good. Yeah.
Holy crap.
But inflation has been really crappy, too.
True. If you I'll enter that in, it's probably even. Man. Yeah. But real estate, I'm liking more and more. When I was younger, I was like, this is too slow for me. But now that I want to have kids and stuff, I want something a little more safe, steady.
Yeah. And then when you have your If you have cash flow from real estate, you can take some of that and invest it in speculative stuff like crypto. Crypto is super risky, right? But if you have good cash flow, then you can sleep good. And remember we talked about emotions being the biggest problem people have with stocks or crypto or anything? Yeah. If you have that constant cash flow, you have a lot less emotional swing.
Facts, because then you're not relying on that, right?
Yeah.
Because that's where people over leverage their portfolios, I think.
Yeah. They just get too greedy, too fast. But here's the thing, think about this. If you buy If you bought Bitcoin or if you bought Apple stock, or if you bought a piece of real estate, even if you didn't buy the ultimate low, and you were five years patient, usually you did okay. And so the five years patient rule I like to to most assets. That's a good rule. Same thing with a business. Some people are like, I'm not making money in my first year. It's like, dude, give it in time.
Yeah, two, three years at least, right?
Oh, yeah. Because a lot of times you're losing money hard in the beginning.
Oh, yeah, I was. I'm sure you are with Zyda It's all in the mix, right?
Oh, yeah. Anything in the beginning, losing hard. Even when things get good and they build momentum, you have those years where there's a crash in the market or whatever, and you lose money for a couple of years. It's long term, but it's still long term.
Are you still pretty optimistic about the PC gaming space? Is that still doing well?
I think gaming is taking a interesting new big surge now. Maybe when Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out, one day. But whenever there's a big refresh in video cards, we just did this new '50 series from NVIDIA, big demand cycle. But with computers, though, you have AI, which is just massive, and you need good computing power. Most jobs going forward, a lot of jobs now are just content creation. You're creating content or people editing it, and you need computers to content create and entertain.
I need a lot of storage these days, dude. Holy crap. We got 1,400 episodes. Oh, It's like, 1080p. Some of them are in 4K, so it's a lot of story.
We'll get you three or four 22 terabyte drives.
That's what I need, man. Yeah. Dude, I got AI companies offering super money for those episodes. Really? Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah, but I'm not going to do it. No. I don't want to be cloned It's so tempting, though, when I see the money.
Oh, they want to buy your face?
No, they want to buy all the data so they could train their own AI models because there's going to be AI podcasts in the future.
Yes. I thought they wanted to buy your face so they could AI you into-Digital clone.
Digital Digital Twin. Yeah, I've done that. It's not fully there yet, but I could see that being a big business.
Is the mouth out of sync? A little bit, yeah.
Serious. But that's an interesting business model, to clone yourself and then charge people to talk to you or whatever.
That's actually pretty good, especially if you're getting old. I see a lot of these actors and actresses getting old.
That's what I'm saying. If I pass away, I could license that to my kids and they could sell it. They could keep the money. That's interesting, right? Yeah, that would be cool. Talk about I see.
Can't they license Michael Jackson and Elvis and all that?
Yeah. There's estates that have their rights, and they probably license it out by now, I assume, to AI companies. That's pretty great. I wouldn't be surprised. You'll probably see them in movies in the future. Movies The actors are going towards AI. Absolutely. So not just the writing part, the actors. Wow. Isn't that nuts? That's crazy. Because that's the most expensive part of a movie.
Yeah.
That is true. So you're just going to see someone's face, but it won't be done. That's crazy. Yeah, it's nuts. The future is going to be interesting. Are you going to get a humanoid robot in your house?
An optimist? Yeah. I'll probably pre order, but I'm still waiting for my Tesla roadster. It's been more than five years. So I think Elon needs to get that thing out.
Did you put a deposit on that?
It was a referral program. So if you send a bunch of people, they gave you a super discount in a reserve spot.
So they put out the cyber truck before that.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
I love it, though. I bought one. Did you get a cyber truck yet?
I have a three. I am no longer going to be driving electric, though. Really? Yeah.
Are you worried about the electrical?
Yeah. Have you done any research on that?
Yeah, I heard a lot of it's when you're sitting, if you're sitting there while it's charging, you're cooking yourself like a real.
That's the worst. Yeah. But Have you taken your Tesla on a super long drive before?
Usually, it's around the city. I don't go.
So you'll be fine.
I take the gaser for long drive. Yeah, you'll be fine. Drive to Vegas, take the Jeep.
The problem is when you're in there all day type stuff and charging your phone and charging your car, and there's videos of EMF meters being held up to it.
Oh, man.
Friesy.
You don't want to do that. It's like watching your burrito cook in a microwave.
Yeah, I got rid of my microwave, too. Oh, no way. You could get extreme with this stuff, dude.
Are you extreme now?
I'm borderline.
Are you living on air and almond No.
There's Brian Johnson levels of extreme. I never want to be there. But he sleeps at the same time every day, and you could live like a robot. But I don't want to be there ever. I want to still have fun.
You got to have some fun.
But I want to be healthy, too. So I'm like, a little extreme, I'd say. What about you?
Yeah, same thing. Been trying to eat grass-finished meats, right? Yeah.
Some people would say that's extreme. Yeah.
A lot of grass-finished meats. Still eat some veggies and stuff. Try not to eat sugars too much, right? Try to move around at least 30 minutes a day.
I mean, yeah. Some people would say that's extreme. Some people would say just being an entrepreneur, our lifestyle is extreme.
Some people would say being in crypto is extreme. Check this out. I got this shirt in 2014, and it shows that God gave us maybe Bitcoin.
That's so cool, dude. Do you have any theories on who invented Bitcoin?
Aliens. No. It's really tough to say with that. Probably some just coding nerd guy. A lot of people think the government invented it.
I've seen that one. It's hard to say. I have heard, allegedly, that the government has a large wallet, like underground wallet. Really? Yeah.
They just have a huge bag?
Huge bag.
They're even going to have a huger bag.
I mean, yeah, That's just the public one. But I'm saying I heard they have some huge bags behind the scenes. Oh, yeah. I mean, look at how the government is spending money.
Maybe the Satoshi bag.
Yeah, it could be. I have heard a theory of there was three founders, one of them is dead, two of them are still alive. So who knows? I wonder if it'll ever be revealed.
Maybe. Maybe Trump will reveal.
Imagine if he started it.
That. Or maybe Elon.
I wonder if Elon's... He has Doge, right?
Yeah.
Is he big in other coins, you think?
He hasn't talked too much about what he owns. He loves to talk about Doge. But he did, what was it? Something maximus, Gluteus maximus or something weird. He changed his name to that on X and some A random crap coin just freaking ran. Because it had the same name, which was funny.
They're doing that with Trump's speeches now. If he says a certain word or if something's in the background, they'll launch a coin. It's straight D-Gen stuff.
But that was just like NFTs. Remember the NFT everything? Pictures of actors like that.
Yeah. It's crazy.
I still got my McLaren NFT.
I still got mine, too. It's probably at 0. 01.
I just did that as, again, a networking thing. I have a lot of weird things I bought. It's all fun. It's like collectibles, though.
It's all fun. I got like 600 Funko pops.
Oh, I have some of those. I still have your dinosaurs.
Chibis? Oh, yeah. I'm going to start collecting ancient coins, too.
Physical?
Physical.
Ancient coins. There's a coin shop here in Utah called All About Coins, and they have crazy ancient coins. In fact, they had a cross that you open up and inside were the ashes of some saint. What? Yeah, dude. Whoa. Yeah, and you go there. I bought a signed, authenticated, Brigham Young, which is a Mormon leader guy, thing there, a photo in a frame for a friend. But they We've got like, Norman money from the original pioneers. We're talking like 300,000 a coin. You can just go look at it. You guys got them there.
That's historic. I definitely want to stop. Is that in Solic?
Yeah. All about coins are going to love me for talking about.
I love history, dude. Oh, dude. Yeah. I I got George Washington's hair in my office. Really? Yeah. I got old books.
Go to All About Coins. You're going to find the weirdest... I think sometimes you'll even find a strunken head, like a human skull.
That's wild. Yeah, I got some old Roman coins. Shout out to Kinser coins. He's giving me some cool stuff. Crazy stuff. Yeah, that stuff. When you hold it, it just feels special.
It is special. Yeah.
Well, dude, it's been cool. Where can people buy a computer off you, keep up with you, and get crypto.
So zidex, xidax. Com, you want to buy stuff. But if you just go to Dan's Millionaire Code on Instagram, I love that compared to any other platform. Dan's Millionaire Code. And I answer all my messages. You got crazy questions. I got to queue them up, but I'm here to help.
Cool. We'll link your stuff below.
