i want to quote one of your all-time most popular tweets when bitcoin gets to 150 000 i'll buy the hamptons and convert it to a sleep away camp for kids working farms and low-cost housing what inspired you to write that one well um i can't take all the credit of friends of mine and i we have a little group chat and we were just you know uh talking about random things for the summer you know the hope that the pandemic eases and um one of my friends rob goldberg actually was the one that said champions and it just kind of like set off a light bulb and then i just wrote it and i kind of published it i you know it's very tongue-in-cheek i mean you know i did another one which said like i think when bitcoin gets to forty thousand or hundred thousand i'm gonna buy goldman sachs and rename it chemotherm and sacks these are all jokes you know this is the part of my personality that some folks don't get um which is just this is just tongue-in-cheek it's just honestly i never thought i'd be here uh i'm enjoying the ride every minute of this feels like a complete dream i admire you for not taking yourself too seriously the bitcoin thing however is very serious yeah north of 40 000 so it's not 150 you can't buy the hamptons yet it's not 100 you can't buy goldman sachs yet can i tell you something about bitcoin which is so important it's so i think bitcoin is very important because it just shows the fragility of you know the traditional financial infrastructure um and if you just look at the quantity and the size of like the m2 money supply as an example the real question i think people should be asking ourselves is okay bitcoin becomes a de facto reserve currency that basically displaces gold what replaces the us dollar and here's where if you want to just bear with me for a second it's not bitcoin that replaces the u.s dollar it is a stable court and what does all of that mean in less fancy language there are companies around the world that are replacing one fixed us dollar with one digital token of a us dollar and by simply making that small abstraction they're able to completely build financial rails that didn't exist on-ramps and off-ramps for trading to asset management to banking to payments processing there's a revolution happening it's not felt as much in the united states because people don't see it because the financial services infrastructure is so robust but when you look at the developing world and if you look at any market where there is any form of currency manipulation or currency and stability that's the future and so you know bitcoin is a canary in a coal mine for a completely virtual um largely anonymous and we can debate whether that's good or not um financial reality um and so you know i think it's it's a very important trend that's worth understanding the other thing is so many of the dislocations that we've seen um won't happen anymore when we go on those rails so you know going back to this whole gamestop debacle as i've learned more and as you probably know now too and what i learned was we used to have a t plus three you know after the trading day three days later is when you'd settle and it was moving heaven and earth crying and screaming to move companies to go to t plus two well if you're running a stable coin or you know smart contracts on top of ethereum all of this next generation infrastructure i mean this is t plus right you're settling things in anonymously and that's really good for everybody in addition to bitcoin which coins if you will cryptocurrencies digital assets are are you a holder of are you a believer in well i will be publishing this soon um i am building a fairly sizable portfolio of um what are called uh nfts uh non-fungible tokens um some digital art um some you know virtual trading cards and these may sound crazy to some um but i do think that that's the next frontier of digital currency and digital assets um and so i have been building a portfolio my decision is the team and i will announce it we will publicize everything we own and we will make our holdings transparent so that folks can track along and see as we buy insulting um so that that's coming in a few months i'm not really ready to show the details of exactly what we hold yet but i'm really excited maybe in a few weeks actually but i'm very excited
