What's going on, guys? Today we got a great episode with John Pompilano. In this conversation, we talk about what's going on with Bitcoin. Why is it going higher? How Ken Griffin and Paul Tudor Jones are so bullish, how you should be able to sleep through a storm and make sure that you're prepared for any sort of market downturn, but still be able to enjoy the bull market and why I think asset prices are going higher and how the government is never, ever, ever going to stop printing money. Here's my latest conversation with John Pompilano. All right, John, what's first topic? Bitcoin reaches an all-time high. Last week was the largest inflows ever for Bitcoin, or for crypto, excuse me, at $6 billion. What's going on? Why is everyone flooding into crypto?

Well, the world has woken up.

They finally realized what Bitcoiners and gold bugs have been yelling about for 15 years is governments around the world were given a money printer.

When they were given that money printer, they were trusted to be responsible with it.

And instead of not violating that trust, they decided to

just press the button as much as they possibly could. And as they've printed more money and they have

devalued the fiat currency, the rest of the world at first was like, this is amazing. Stocks are going

up, real estate's going up,

I'm getting richer. But now people are saying, wait a second here. I actually think that I'm not

driving real wealth. So opening bells Phil Rosen, he came out and he showed the SMP 500 since

2020 is up 100%. Great, fantastic. Congratulations to all the stock owners. Priced in Bitcoin is down 90%.

So what is your reference point? If you're measuring it against dollars, then you think you're a

genius. If you're measuring it against a finite asset that cannot be printed and cannot be

debased, you're losing horribly. And so it's all about that reference point, that denominator, right? The idea of a Bitcoin is the hurdle rate. And so I think that now you're starting to see the seep all around the world. Now, what I will say is Bitcoin versus gold is also a very interesting story. Gold is up 50% year-to-date. Congratulations to all the gold whole time, right? Gold bugs. You guys were right. But not so
