| 0:00.0 | I sold 27 positions when I started to see the analysis of my own analysts. And luckily, I missed that meltdown on October 20. But I took a hit on Ethan BTC, but it's come back a lot more than the Pupu coins have. And some of those Pupu coins are never coming back. There's just, there's no reason to them. |
| 0:32.2 | Hey, everyone, you're watching Markets Outlook. I'm Jen Sanassi. Andy Bear is here with me today, |
| 0:55.1 | and we are joined by Shark Tank Investor O'Leary Ventures Chairman and actor Kevin O'Leary. Hey, Kevin. Great to be here. Thank you. Thanks for joining us. Now, we got to start with the acting thing. Congrats on your acting debut. How does it feel? It's a whole new space. It's a different discipline. You know, I used to be a cameraman back in the late 80s and I was an editor. |
| 1:00.7 | I played Steamback. So I feel like I've come home, although this is all, you know, quite different. |
| 1:05.6 | I mean, promoting a feature like this has been a real experience. I've really enjoyed it. And I'll see you on the red carpet at the SAG and at the Oscars. I'm excited. |
| 1:11.2 | Yeah, I mean, I can't speak for Andy, but I'm definitely rooting for you. Are we going to see you on the big screen? Is this like a new career path for you? We're going to see you do more movies? I've got three offers right now. I'm going to do one film a year in addition to everything else I do. I think there is an intersection, |
| 1:28.1 | actually. I think if you think about media being part of a marketing strategy for investing, |
| 1:34.8 | I think it's kind of worked out for me. I want to be the bad guy in the next Bond movie. I think |
| 1:40.9 | no one else can do it the way I can. Everybody will die. I'll build a lot of data centers, and I'm going to blow a lot of stuff up. You think you're else can do it the way I can. Everybody will die. |
| 1:44.4 | I'll build a lot of data centers, and I'm going to blow a lot of stuff up. |
| 1:47.9 | You think we could get Bitcoin into the next Bond movie? |
| 1:50.7 | I think Bitcoin will be, and I'll tell you why, because whoever controls AI will be the next villain of the Earth, |
| 1:58.8 | and he'll finance it all by using some portion of his |
| 2:01.8 | data facility power generation to mine coin. That's a great script right there. I mean, I think |
| 2:08.1 | it's a great script. So there's at least two people here that think that that could work out. |
| 2:13.9 | Okay, let's let's talk about what we're here to talk about. And that is the crypto markets. |
| 2:17.8 | Let's start with Bitcoin because we were just talking about it. Just under 90,000 this morning, just talk to us |
| 2:22.8 | about how you're watching Bitcoin as we get deeper into 2026. Well, of course, I've indexed BTC and |
| 2:29.3 | ETH. I don't expect any significant capital appreciation until we clear the Clarity Act or the |
| 2:36.0 | Infrastructure Act or whatever you want to call it. It's stalled. Brian at Coinbase is part of |
| 2:41.0 | that reason, but I understand his complaint. It seems unfair to me that those who hold a stable |
| 2:46.6 | coin can't get yield in the same way a bank dollar has provided some form of yield. |
