A highlight from Blackrock Increases Bitcoin Stack | EP 811
"You You're against freedom Good morning everybody. We are back. What a weekend. We were in Austin all weekend. But anyways anyways Crazy stuff happening BlackRock increases their Bitcoin exposure But not in the way that everyone thought there was some speculation on the timeline on BlackRock stacking But they are getting exposure in every way possible Recent news shows that they've been buying a bunch of public mining company stocks So we're gonna get into all that news and then of course we just came back from Austin We were in BitBock boom so awesome to see all you guys in the flesh Hang out with Bitcoin family members as I like to call them friends acquaintances new faces old faces It was a great weekend and we streamed the whole thing live on YouTube I think it's on the Swan and the Gary's BitBock boom channel so if you want to catch all that we got it all recorded for you on the YouTube verse, but The reason I bring that up not only because we had a great time but there was another conference that happened over the weekend It wasn't by Bitcoiners though. It was by your favorite central bankers out there in Jackson Hole, Wyoming So I'm gonna kind of contrast the two we have the Bitcoin BitBock boom conference in Austin And then we have the central bankers meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming So, I don't know I thought it's very fitting that the two happen on the same weekend and we'll see the difference between The fiat monetary policy handlers and the Bitcoiners and the energy coming out of there You just love to see the contrast and of course guys also as you can tell I'm hosting the show today I will actually be hosting the show till probably Wednesday Nico has some family stuff that he has to take care of so send some thoughts and prayers over to Nico He will be back in a couple of days, but you guys know the show don't stop This is why we've been doing our best To make sure that I handle the show that we're training our boys Dell and Rustin on the show and we even have some people Coming off on the bench.

I'm here with my co -host Dell Dell. How you doing this morning, brother? I'm good, but I got a got to do a quick correction to what you said about that other Symposium the the meeting over in Jackson Hole. You said it wasn't put on by Bitcoiners I'll change that too. It wasn't put on by Bitcoiners yet Yet they will be just joy just wait given enough time Everybody's gonna come around and see the bright orange light of Bitcoin. It's unavoidable Let's go. Alright guys. Well, let's get into the show. We got a lot to cover today The Bitcoin numbers is your Bitcoin in cold storage really secure is your seed phrase Really secure stamp seeds do -it -yourself kit has everything you need to hammer your seed words into commercial grade Titanium plates instead of just writing them on paper. Don't store your generational wealth on paper Papers prone to water damage fire damage. You want to put your generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet earth? titanium your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps and once your words are in they Aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling everywhere Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire They're also crush proof waterproof non -corrosive and time proof all things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with peace of mind for The long haul stamp your seed on stamps Alright guys, as you know hit the QR code in the bottom and get yourself a seed phrase storage kit Do not leave your Bitcoin seed phrase on paper in your sock drawer Anyways, let's get into some of the numbers here. Of course. We're over here on Clark Moody's dashboard and Our favorite number the block high it keeps going up guys. It's almost like Bitcoin works. It is at eight hundred and five thousand one hundred 82 for the new all -time high of block height the current Bitcoin price is twenty six thousand one hundred and twenty dollars guys We're still in the 26k range Which means you have an opportunity to stack more sets than we did what two weeks ago? Which means the Moscow time aka the sats per dollar aka how much your Fiat dollars worth? It's currently at three thousand eight hundred and twenty Six and I did drop a poll in the chat guys. Are we gonna see 4k sets? I don't know Let's see what you guys think. Let's speculate a little bit in the chat for you guys get you involved Anyways, the total percentage of Bitcoin issued is at ninety two point seven one percent the current market cap in Fiat dollar terms is five hundred and eight point eight billion dollars Bitcoin isn't even at a Trillion -dollar market cap yet. We're a half a trillion Anyways, the realized monetary inflation taking fiat currencies to school was at one point seven five percent and someone asked me on telegram What what does this number mean? It means like even though Bitcoin is hard cap there is a realized monetary inflation until 2140 until the last Bitcoin gets released and That is going to get halved and cut in half in April and actually dealt maybe Can we can we talk about your your dad the little story you just told us in regards to the halving and and this number The monetary or realized monetary inflation. I think this might be an interesting little story, but tldr me I know how you like to talk so tldrs The long and short of it is if you keep on talking To people and you keep on blasting them every time you get on the phone with them about Bitcoin then sooner or later They'll either I guess I guess there's a bit you run the risk of them telling you to never speak again, but Sometimes they might start to see some some of the things they might go. Wait a second so if the halving means that there's less Bitcoin to be found and there's only ever gonna be X amount 21 million and More people want it as time goes on. That means that the price goes up, right? And I'm like like Lavi said that was a tldr of my my conversation with my dad and I said that's exactly what it means There's only so much it's gonna get more and more scarce and the price can only go one way so Yeah, they're waking up. They're be they're noticing people are noticing. Okay last couple numbers We have the Bitcoin verse gold market cap is only currently 3 .96 percent of the gold market cap If you remember gold is I believe around 10 trillion dollars Bitcoin Still less than half a chair above a little more than half a trillion. Anyways, the total lightning capacity is 24 ,746 point nine four BTC the hash rate the last 90 days is 377 point four exa hashes and the pending fees is currently three point one one BTC Okay, guys as I was telling you guys This weekend we had a contrast between two different Conferences we had bit block boom in Austin the Bitcoin maxi conference Well, all your favorite bitcoiners were and we were live streaming from the floor. We were holding down the media desk and we had the central bankers meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and I just I that the irony isn't lost on me that they happen on the same weekend, but you can tell that there is complete difference in Ideologies and the feeling coming out of these conferences and first and foremost I'm pretty sure we played this video for you guys over the weekend on the streams, but I want to play it again Because you can just see not only the hubris of Christine Lagarde, but notice the body language of her Does she really believe what she's saying or is she just saying this stuff just to say it to play the confidence game? And I also got a story or a newsletter article Sorry coming out a couple days later about what was said at the conference And again, we are contrasting this to bitcoins monetary policy because that's what it's all about and remember what Dells dad just said People are starting to wake up. People are starting to notice and they're starting to understand Wow, maybe I want to get some Bitcoin just in case just catches on Anyways, we have a tweet here by Christine Lagarde. She goes hello from the Jackson Hole economic policy symposium I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts and exchanging views with central bankers from around the globe on the very relevant theme of Structural shifts in the global economy Thanks for hosting the event Kansas City Fed. All right, let's just get into this little video notice her body language And what is she even saying here? Anyway, let's get into this to all of you and I would like to share this Magnificent panorama that is behind me. It is the setting of the Jackson Hole conference that takes place every year It is a little bit like the Sintra of the West except it's been around for longer Many central bank governance many academics many experts in monetary policy and on the economy in general Will be gathering for two days and we will talk about the current situation The major shifts that we are seeing the major breaks and how we can best response with good policies That will actually help bring inflation back to 2 % This is the goal. This is the mission. We're not done yet We are working hard But we also have to compare notes and share our views with others so that we can have really the highest level of confidence That we are taking everything into account, but this is a very inspiring place to do it Interesting, okay first and foremost, of course they are still struggling to maintain 2 % inflation rate as we like to call it, you know, the the publicly Acceptable amount a Purchasing power they can steal from you every year is 2 % and they're struggling to get back down as we've been covering for a long time on the show The inflation rate the official inflation rate CPI is nowhere near 2 % It almost got as high as 10 % I think there's somewhere roughly around 3 % right now and they are still working on getting that lower But anyways, let's talk about what they actually talked about or as Christine Lagarde was saying You know share our notes in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, you know It might sound Very very simple very innocent. We're just gonna share our notes so that we know what's going on in the world So we're all on the same page Some might say they're conspiring but hey, let's not go down that path Okay We're over here on Bloomberg and we have an article here and it goes at Jackson Hole post inflation challenges vex central bankers and the subtitle Is pledge policymakers to keep rates high until inflation is tame as you can tell the theme is inflation is not tamed Anyways, let's get into this article and I will jump back and forth on a few different articles from Bloomberg and then of course I am going to angle this in regards to Bitcoin and Bitblock boom that we just all were hanging out with over the weekend in Austin so the world's top central bankers stress the need to keep interest rates high until inflation is contained and Their job harder at an annual Federal Reserve gathering in Jackson Hole Wyoming keynote speeches from Fed chair Jerome Powell and European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde on Friday Laid out the challenges each is facing in deciding if they should extend Historic strings of rate increases that began last year at the same time They offered investors few clues as to whether they would in fact Do so in the coming months and there's a link here and I want to jump on to this other link real quick Because of course as Bitcoiners, we know what our monetary policy is and yet people are still out here Waiting for the people in suits to tell them what is happening with their money Anyways, what are these clues that they're talking about? So Powell has bond traders right where he wants them full of doubt Interesting interesting as we know monetary policy at least in the fiat world is a game of trust a game of confidence and Playing with that confidence they want you full of doubt so you don't know which way they're gonna go Are they gonna pivot are they you know, they're gonna lower rates.

Fresh update on "eight billion dollar" discussed on Unchained
"Yeah. Although, I mean, at least historically, the charges against Sam were, I think, sort of record breaking. I don't know if they're literally record breaking, but they were extremely fast. So many people commented on that at the time last year. One thing that I wanted to ask you about also was the parents released a statement to Coindesk after this news of the lawsuit saying, quote, this is a dangerous attempt to intimidate Joe and Barbara and undermine the jury process just days before their child's trial begins. And I wondered what your thoughts were on that statement. I mean, I don't want to curse on your pod. I don't think John Ray cares about, you know, Sam's criminal trial. I don't think there's any orchestration. They probably he probably doesn't even know that, like, the jury selection is going on. I mean, maybe he does, but it's just not a focus. So, OK, so basically the FTX bankruptcy pursuit is just happening on its own timeline and Sam's trial is happening on its own timeline. And the two are like unrelated. I'm sure that the investigators, whether it's the SEC or DOJ, have a request for information subpoenas on the estate, which the state has to meet, but for the most part. And I'm sure they work, you know, they pass information. But generally speaking, like the SEC, the DOJ, it's sort of a one way street. They request information on you. You give it to them. They don't really tell you what they're doing. And so I don't think John is in any way, you know, in the sort of coordinated effort. I just think it's he's really focused on creditors, creditor recoveries and prosecuting the file of, you know, going through all these things. And he's got a bunch of stuff teed up. You've seen a few other adversary proceedings that have been filed and he's going picking them off one by one, sort of working the file, adjudicating each file and just doing what he's supposed to be doing. So I really did think the timing is, you know, maybe to them it feels like it's coordinated, but I guarantee you it's not. And so earlier when you were saying that the amounts that could be obtained by suing the parents are small compared to the around eight billion dollars that are owed to the creditors. You know, what does that say to you that this is, you know, where they're at right now? Does it say to you that they're kind of near the end of of trying to get money back from people or like, yeah, what is the significance of that? All the lawsuits we've seen are really fraudulent transfer lawsuits or fraudulent conveyance lawsuits. And I'll use the term because everybody uses it, but I hate it. Like within clawbacks, within bankruptcy, you have fraudulent transfers and you have preferences. They haven't started any real preferences. They've only filed fraudulent transfers, basically deals that were unfavorable to the estate. Now, maybe there's some other insiders, but most of those insiders have claims and those lawsuits will really be about objecting their claims as insiders with the word unjust enrichment or something like that. Those are probably dealt with the claim objection. So right now he's getting, they filed on July 31st, I did the date for you, they filed the draft plan, which they're trying to get done by next July 31st, 2024. So that's where he's really headed, this is the plan. And as part of that, he's filed all the lawsuits he wants to file for fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfers. So basically bad deals that the estate did or somebody took advantage of the estate or something that Sam did that was sort of like an insider deal.

Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from US Governor to PROTECT Bitcoiners and BAN CBDC | EP 795
"You Yeah, we're gonna submit Bitcoin live or your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution of car breaking news culture manic warfare We will be your guide through the separation of money and state we have been talking about this concept about It's not red versus blue it's not left versus right it's the party of orange versus the party of green and it's interesting that Predominant political candidates here in the United States on both sides of the aisle on the Democratic side. You have RFK jr. It Literally his speech at the Bitcoin 2023 conference was saying that he's gonna protect the right for Bitcoiners to take self -custody It's interesting on the other side on the Republican side in the second place for the presidential Republican candidacy is Ron DeSantis and he released a meme I would call it because that's really what it is an ad you could say better said and it was called the Declaration of Economic Independence and One of the tenants or one of the things and it was a list of ten things that he's gonna do if he gets elected President number eight it was rain in the Federal Reserve and in there There's a specific section that focuses exactly literally it says word -for -word. I'm not even kidding protect Bitcoin So I think that's interesting how this is heating up. This isn't a phenomenon that's only happening in the United States This is also happening in Canada You have Poulier Polyvar who is running against Justin Trudeau and he's also against central bank digital currencies And he's for Bitcoin So I find that really interesting how you know, this political debate is heating up at the end of the day These are politicians. I know I'm not a big fan of politicians I don't trust politicians, but look I you know, I'm I'm a fan of This happening during the transitionary period from a fiat standard to a Bitcoin standard I think the more people on our side the better Especially with you know, what we know the other side is doing on yesterday's episode We covered the proposed bill Bipartisan bill sponsored by Senator Cynthia Lummis and Senator Warren that would force validators miners wallet providers to KYC, which is Freaking crazy. So, you know the more people we have on our side of the football the better in my opinion And also we have a very special guest today. We have the CEO and founder of start 9 Matt Hill, how you doing, man? Hey doing good. Thanks for that meal. Thanks for coming today, and I'm a big fan of start 9 I think they make some of the best nodes in the space and you guys are all about that sovereign computing Which I'm a big fan of I got myself. I think you've rebranded it. It's not to start 9 Pro anymore But I got one of the founder additions and I'm absolutely loving it. What's the rebrand called? What do you guys call in it nowadays? The pure Start 9 pure and it's a it's a workhorse. I think it runs on an i7. Is that correct? Yeah, the reason why we renamed it is because it doesn't actually pack the punch that you would expect a pro device to pack So it is powerful. It's far more powerful than almost anything. People are running Bitcoin nodes and personal servers on but It's not It's not the most modern chip You know as you start talking about like AI applications, it doesn't have enough RAM It's it's a good powerful device But we have plans for what we're gonna call the pro and it's going to crush this thing from a performance standpoint but this thing is unique in that it touts a Ninety nine point nine percent open software stack through to the firmware, right? There are no proprietary drivers for Wi -Fi or graphics cards or anything like that It is a it is a very pure device that is based on some of the work that Purism put into opening up the firmware and excluding the Intel management engine and stuff like that So it's a privacy and security oriented device rather than a pro power device, even though it does pack a good punch So we renamed it to the pure gotcha. So you're gonna take even more of my money understand Very looking forward to the the new and what you're gonna call it Anyways, I see Opti laughing his ass off. What's up, man? Man doing good doing wonderful this morning and shouts out to everyone on yesterday's show You guys loved the lightning giveaway live we handled it but won't be happening again until I figure out exactly the The kinks on it because some of y 'all ruin all the fun for the rest of us, but I'm excited for this one Obviously, you know, we've been seeing Ron DeSantis talk about CBD seeds for a while now Hopefully he can get that conversation going in all circles and it's becoming very interesting that you know the CBDC and Bitcoin narrative is becoming a point of contention for political candidates and It's going to it's looking like it's gonna be a crazy ride and then we get the talk start 9 all day Which is I don't know Nico's Nico's been getting me on and I'm like, man I really need to get one of these these things are looking amazing. So I'm excited for this one Nico Let's get into this. It's gonna be great show. All right, everybody no more delay Let's jump straight into numbers.

You know, they're saying the quiet part out loud Let's check it. Let's check this out. This is Ron DeSantis at a political rally. It's a threat in Florida we've seen them talking about it. So I actually signed legislation where we don't recognize Central bank digital currency now Congress could override us on that but the Fed unilaterally I don't think they could override us on that. So we've protected Floridians, but as president on day one CBDC goes into the trash can we're not going to allow it And we are gonna let Americans invest in things like Bitcoin and cryptocurrency No one's forcing you to do it. If you want to do it, you can do it Biden's war on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency will come to an end when I become president. It's a threat. I mean look, it's very very interesting It's not just Bitcoiners that are like Hypothesizing and like, you know like that mean with the guy like pointing at the board with all the wires connected and stuff Like look what's going on? It's becoming apparent that operation choke point 2 .0 is not just some meme that Bitcoiners came up with on the internet like V moves by the current administration whether it's the custodia bank with Caitlin long We had her on the show the other day. Like it's clear that in the eyes of this current administration They don't see Bitcoin as money they want to push forward the central bank digital currencies and look at the Look at the launch of the CBT of the American version of the CBDC which they say is not a CBDC But it sure feels like a CBDC which is the Fed now, right? And here is the Declaration of Economic Independence I was mentioning in the beginning of the show and If he were to be elected president, he would block a CBDC and he would protect Bitcoin doesn't say crypto He says Bitcoin by name. And of course, he's not just doing this out of the kindness of his heart He's doing this because he's a politician. He wants to get elected and his direct opponent I would say rather than Biden really is RFK jr. On the Democratic side and he's been very vocal about Supporting Bitcoin and being anti CBDC. He had a speech at the Bitcoin conference They got a tremendous amount of press and then he had another announcement which he did on a podcast Where he would vow to bow Bitcoin He would vow to back the dollar by Bitcoin and he would exempt Bitcoin from taxes Of course, you know, I don't trust politicians But it's just interesting how it's like kind of like this forcing function Like one politician says something and the other ones like yeah, I want to get those votes too. I support Bitcoin, too This is this is very interesting. I think that by you know the end of the decade I think that it'll become politically unviable to be something to be against Bitcoin. That's that's my opinion. But again, you know never underestimate You know these people and the lengths that they are willing to go to In order to maintain their privilege of being able to create money for free that everyone else has to work for so Matt You're a builder is all of this stuff noise to you What's what's going on in the sidelines and I really want to focus that I wish we covered that on today's show, which is Yesterday we had a very very scary bill that that came out and in that bill it basically said That they were going to force validators and you could say validators or nodes to KYC their customers So it's very interesting that that wording that they use. So what's your take on that? The the first part or the the validator part let's Everything everything. What's your take on everything? I I care deeply about politics. I'm I read history. I Understand and read about politics and economics and but I spend most of my time writing code I am NOT up -to -date with every current event or which politician said what I Buy into the thesis of the sovereign individual that technology is the primary driver of political change throughout history And so I personally spend most of my time trying to Create and innovate on technologies that forcibly push power to the edges of the political system and thereby influence change From from a layer beneath where these politicians are operating So as I see people like Ron DeSantis or RFK Talking about Bitcoin I do not believe that this is coming from a place of them necessarily understanding or even caring but from a place of necessity right, like the the the Winds are changing and they are trying to say whatever they need to say to get votes and their polling is telling them that these Are the things that they need to say to get votes. And so we're it's working right? Like I don't believe them I don't trust them. But that is proof that Something is happening that is causing them to take this seriously and not only to take it seriously but to side with it right Bitcoin is forcing political change Not asking for it And so what I get annoyed by is when I hear them say things like we're gonna let you trade in Bitcoin and stuff like That and sure I get why they're saying that and I count that as a check mark in the win column But also I'm like fuck you, you know, you're not gonna let me do shit We're gonna do whatever we want and you're gonna go along with it because you have to because technology makes you comply I love that. I absolutely love that and we're big fans of the sovereign individual and simply Bitcoin We reference it at least once a week on the show and I completely agree and you know It's it's the but it's it you're just watching the state as they they lose, you know This this this they lose their control over society in a way You're seeing them kind of like go through this denial phase where they're like look we'll let you do it You know what? Actually, we're big fans of digital currencies, too. We like CBDCs. We're supporters of CBDCs Why don't you use that, you know, so it's just interesting watching them squirm around it in a way I feel like they're panicking a little bit like they they want this thing to go away, but it just won't go away That's that's correct. It's not going away. You cannot un -invent technology Technology that empowers people Doesn't want to be un -invented people are going to use it And it's great that it was designed the way that it was that's what made Bitcoin so innovative Is that it really is fuck you money and Good luck trying to get validators to KYC people. I mean it it's silly that they At this point do not understand it Well enough to refrain from saying such a silly phrase, right? Generally politicians speaking try not to look foolish, right? They don't want to take hard lines against things that they can't enforce because it just makes them look silly, right? That's the one thing they always try not to do is look silly they can lie They don't care if they're malicious whatever but they don't want to look foolish And so that's gonna make them look very foolish, right? If something like that were to come into into practice It will be un -un Done overnight as they realize what a mistake they have made 100 % and what I'm referencing everybody also is just a you know Just to kind of show everybody what I'm referring to it is the digital asset anti -money laundering act Which was included into this defense bill and it included extend bank secrecy act responsibilities Including KYC customer requirements the digital asset wallet providers miners validators and other network Participants that may act to validate secure or facilitate digital asset transactions. I agree with Matt 100 % I think that is unenforceable, but it doesn't mean that they're not gonna try anyways, so Opti What's your take and then we'll move on to the news? Yeah So first I think it's very interesting to hear dissent to say what Bitcoiners have been saying for a while that there is a war against Bitcoin coming from the Biden administration and Maybe it carries a little more weight because it's coming from the political class and not from you know us fringe conspiracy theorists on Twitter or whatever you want to call us but To Matt's point I was gonna say the same thing Like we don't need the president to let us do anything with Bitcoin its permissionless money and completely legal by constitutional standards So it's nice to hear And of course, I don't want friction in regards to Bitcoin like, you know, make my life easier as a Bitcoiner Would love to see it but honey bad you don't care this is a global phenomenon and America will continue to shoot themselves in the foot by fighting Bitcoin and of course as someone that lives in America I don't want to see us continue down this path and would like to see people embrace Bitcoin It really doesn't matter because of entrepreneurs like Matt out there that are building the freedom tools That will force the narrative like they've lost control as far as I'm concerned and now they're they're trying to pander to Bitcoiners So on the one hand just love to see it and on the other hand It's just like I don't know it just seems like lip service to me But I mean personally I know I know Nico you're in Florida and you have different views and we'd love to hear the conversation I don't really think that Santas has a has a chance to win but it's cool to have these conversations.

"An list has been expecting a two hundred sixty million real loss that's the such a wide margin and of a specially at this time in white mess so what to watch out for and another one the action is as telecom a society just shy of uh... what analyst had been expecting but they're saying that their operating expenses have to have due increased to the in their increased investments in different domains that's kind of a different uh... sally to dowell slipped yesterday the index in terms of the relative strength on our an side level is at sixty two you know this kind of flirting with with overbought it it builds on a series of of consistent gains what's been the driver of that mean apart from sort of the oil fundamentals yellow you do have the oil fundamentals just speaking to annals they're saying that they are confident that opac will be able to put a floor uh... with oil you know trading in that eighty dollar range so that's one element just looking beyond that like i just said earnings use if you know banks to make up such a big part of the index that has been boosting uh... it so much but what's really interesting is that this rally has such wide bread we see do a lot of the small and medium enterprises on the saudi tadawal actually rallying quite a bit especially in the insurance and the pharmaceutical sector they've been gaining in hopes that earnings will improve in hopes that economy the will uh... you know be stronger and with the prospect of again those peak fed rates that we're talking about they're hoping that you know we're past the worst and that's why we're seeing the tadawal rally so much we're just a few bull that's market a key level to keep an eye out on. Farah thank you for the valuable contribution That's Farah Al -Bahrawi there. I want to stay with the region and talk about the lack of IPOs in Europe and elsewhere for the past year and a half that's actually led to increased investor interest in the middle east where listings have often been heavily oversubscribed. Dubai for example raked in more than eight billion dollars from privatizations last year and it forms a sizeable chunk of the twenty three billion dollars raised by IPOs in the Gulf. For more We're analysis joined by Rudy Saadi. He's the head of Mina Equities at Citigroup Global Markets. Rudy I mean how much more is going to come to market towards year end would or you say that most of it is already out of the way now? Good morning Yousuf and thanks for having me. Yousuf it's been very active so far. Look H123 six and a half billion dollars priced in Middle East DCM. We saw a number of IPOs priced in Saadi and in UAE. The pipeline is strong as your colleagues reported on Bloomberg. We've received a number of IPOs and we expect to launch a number of IPOs in Dubai and in Saudi Arabia post the summer. The pipeline is solid. It's promising for post summer the and 2024. What's the impact been of rising interest rates because typically those who are pursuing a certain level of yield have additional optionality that would theoretically be a headwind for some of these companies looking to go IPO in terms of attracting investor interest right? Absolutely, Yusuf. Very important question. Look, it's only natural when interest rates go up, government bonds, yields go up. If you're a generous investor looking at IPOs and comparing to bonds, you'd be expecting a higher yield and we saw recently some of the IPOs being priced on a very high yield. Issuers potentially have been waiting to assess the right window to launch their IPOs. But Yusuf, if you are a growth company with very strong fundamentals and you're offering very high growth, interest rates shouldn't impact you. And is this the next step in the Middle East, ECM, the Middle East market. We should be able to guide investors to value companies based on growth and less focus on dividend yield. Rudy, one thing that we expected to happen, and it didn't happen, was that all family offices would do IPOs, or some of the big families in the Gulf. In Saudi Arabia we've seen quite a lot, but it's not happened as much in the United Arab Emirates. What are you hearing around that? Is it an issue with family these offices or these families protecting their interests and not wanting the scrutiny of the public eye, or is it the regulation and legislation which could be used in the Middle East and the local exchanges? There are great victories. You promote the liquidity, you promote the local exchanges. The next step, like you say, is for private companies to come public. We need to give comfort to private companies when they list on the local exchanges that it's not automatic that they would suffer a valuation discount because they're not government -linked. the At same time, we need to give comfort to investors who use it, that by investing in private companies, getting you are probably the same fundamentals, very similar fundamentals to government -linked IPOs. I can tell you from this discussion we're having at CTU with private families that this is the next wave of IPOs. We just need one or two IPOs coming privately in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to open that market and hopefully the rest will follow. So, where are we going to get the most activity?

Q2-2021 Biotech Earnings, Commercial-Stage Biotech Suffers
"And the first company. I want to talk about is by jin which is a real favorite of mine ticker symbol b. I believe and they're sitting at a fifty billion dollar market cap and what we heard is that they announced q to revenue of two point. Seven eight billion dollars and this is compared to twenty twenty cutie revenue of three point six eight billion so huge decline there and that is mostly due to a decrease in their ms revenue of twenty four percent year over year. And if you remember. When i went through the biogen episode i did. The majority of their revenue comes from their ms franchise and since the lawsuit against by jin was in favor of the generic companies including mylan they have launched generic versions of tech der which are now at risk because by genus filed an appeal. And what this means is that these generic companies are going to be able to sell their generic version of tech era at the risk of biogen winning on appeal in which case Going to be able to litigate against them for patent infringement. So during this time at which we don't know what the status of the appeal is gonna be biden's gonna start losing. Ms franchise market share pretty quickly to these generic companies. So we're starting to see this now with these abysmal. M s numbers now. The company did increase their guidance for the rest of the fiscal year. Only by about two hundred to three hundred million dollars so not a huge amount but they said that. This is due to better-than-expected ms sales. So who knows what's going on there but really the bulk of the call was the excitement around the addy home commercialization efforts and now just to say the amount of home revenue was only like one or two million dollars so very much a drop in the pan not very impressive so far. But it's because all of these infrastructure efforts need to take place in order to get hospitals up and running in order to treat patients

Bitcoin and Bidens Infrastructure Bill
"So. When i hear infrastructure i think of roads and schools but biden has made the argument that tees investing in human infrastructure so that might include childcare paid leave. Maybe free community college but cryptocurrency. How does bitcoin tie into all this and definitely a strange thing to include in an infrastructure bill for sure But when you're trying to pass a big bipartisan trillion dollar bill paying for so much stuff in the country. There's a lot of people who are asking. Well how are you going to pay for it right. And that was one of the reasons why cryptocurrency was included. These new tax reporting requirements would raise an estimated twenty billion dollars according to some of the senators to offset some of these infrastructure costs. Twenty eight billion dollars is not a small amount of money and it is a very pricey bill but what was it about the original language in the bill that raised alarms right so it wasn't the fact that there'd be heightened tax reporting requirements. It wasn't really. You know the total essence at the bill that it was a definition of the word roker and the way that it was worded was a little too vague for some senators. Especially senator ron wyden. Who feared that. This of broker would end up extending these cumbersome packs reporting requirements to while developers and also cryptocurrency miners. And why does the crypto community argue that developers and minors should be exempt from reporting requirements. Well they're not really making any transactions right there mining cryptocurrency themselves. They're you know creating the wallet. Infrastructure for these transactions that. Take place but it's not necessarily a transaction and of itself right. We heard lawmakers making that argument on the senate floor this week. The underlying text of this bill would impose this kind of transaction reporting requirement on crypto transaction validates. These are the people that are building out the blockchain by validating a transaction they would be obligated to report things like a name and attacks. Id number associated with the dollar amount. They don't have that information

What's Really Behind SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's Crypto Speech
"What's going on guys. It is wednesday august fourth and today we are picking up where we left off yesterday and asking. What's really behind. sec. Chair gary crypto speech. So on yesterday's show. I gave the full debrief about the state of the infrastructure. Bill for those playing. Catch up the eleventh hour last week. A provision was put into the five hundred fifty billion dollar infrastructure bill that would change tax reporting requirements around crypto the authors claim that it would generate twenty eight billion dollars in unpaid crypto taxes and the mechanism for that was changing the definition of broker to include effectively. Anyone involved in facilitating crypto transactions. The problem is that while custodial facilitation is what actual brokers do and traditional financial systems in blockchain systems many actors including minors validates etc could be considered facilitators. Especially when you remove as this definition did the custodial requirement and that's the problem these actors are non-custodial and don't even have access to the information. This new definition of broker would require them to collect and share with the irs meaning if this new broker definition were applied ipso facto most actors in crypto ecosystems would be operating illegally so the crypto industry went to work on this yesterday show was largely about how seemingly effective the nascent crypto lobby has been and how we're seeing allies on both sides of the aisle lineup to change the language in this bill. We made a little progress in the bills. Specific language over the weekend but are now trying to get the rest of the way there via amendment as this happens the designer of the provisions. Ohio's rob portman keep saying that it's totally not about minors. Invalid eaters wallet developers and that we should all effectively chill out because of course it's not for them opponents of the provisions. Keep saying cool than just say that. In the bill not just in tweets and speeches in fact he again defended in tweets yesterday calling it a common sense provisions and not really addressing this specific criticism at all.
