A lot of people are commenting here without watching the video. You’re not supposed to agree with everything everyone says, but this dude has been teaching common sense in finances for decades. Mad respect for the interview
The way he talks about Bitcoin as a short term speculative asset is just plain wrong. 15 years of price history says otherwise. He confuses the term "bitcoin" and "crypto", like most people do. Most crypto is short term gambling, Bitcoin is not. There is no other asset on earth that has a better ROI than Bitcoin. He thinks it's a bubble. The timing of that comment couldn't be at a worse time, seeing as all the major institutions are getting onboard. If BlackRock and Fidelty are in on it, you KNOW where things are going. Then you have all the banks, hedgefunds...even nations. It's like claiming internet will be a fad, back in the 90's. The price isn't gonna stop at 60-70k, it's going into the millions. Sure property is a "safe" bet, but it's gonna take a long time to reap the benefits.

@@SamJones1337this is hard to assume if he lives another 20-25 years. Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies value is gauged by its technology of blockchain. Confidence is key in bitcoin, to store bitcoin need to have either a third party like Coinbase or a physical wallet in a drive. Third party company might give you confidence to a certain extent and physical wallet is like having gold/money under a mattress. Nvidia has gained more value cause of bitcoin mining, AI, etc. I would have more trust in a company producing value by a product or service then on a commodity being a source of holding on to for its scarcity. Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation, just like any commodity. Your assumption is that more people then what is current will have confidence in it despite it’s inefficiencies, especially in country like the US wanting to go green on the political landscape.
@@SamJones1337 This is a brainless response. Dave just lied saying he has read the White paper. He clearly hasn't. He clearly doesn't understand how it works.

“Mathematically wages haven’t kept up with house prices so mathematically it wasn’t easier.” Wouldn’t that mean that average wages in relation to home prices were higher in the past than now? So mathematically, yes, it was easier previously.
To an extent. Like he pointed out before the 50's and all the government loan programs you had to come to the table with piles of cash, most could not do that. The higher cost is balanced by easy loans. It's never been "easy" to own a home. It's always been a sacrifice. The current housing market tho does suck. Best hope interest rates don't go up to 18% like they once were. Homes are still selling even at these inflated prices. Let's not pretend that the average home hasn't changed as well. 925sqft was once a family home. Now no one wants a house that size. Homes didn't have expensive heating and cooling systems. Expensive appliances and all the extras you get now. Expectations of home have grown massively. That's reflected in your cost. If you go look at homes that would compare to those days it's not the same picture as you have. Lower your expectations and home becomes more affordable.
Dave was totally wrong with his comment that it was not easier to buy a house in the past(e.g. 1970’s). The average US salary rose with the cost of living until the late 1980’s. The US dollar lost 90 % of its value since the 1970’s, Nixon eliminated the “gold backed” dollar in 1971.
@HC-sb1ru he needs it without understanding why. You as well. Plus given your argument, if he doesn t need it because he has so much money, why would he worry about 70k
Andrei, your poise, finesse, and patience speaking with Dave about Bitcoin was so impressive. Dave kept saying Bitcoin has "no track record", but at what point does it have a track record?? Its 15 years old. Does is have a track record at 25 years? 50 years? 100 years? Dave came as close as he's gonna get, but the reality is that Bitcoins track record over any timeframe in the last 15 years is phenomenal, and although its price action is volatile, its not speculative... We know its supply dynamics with certainty which is completely unique from any other asset.
Thank you! And great point, every asset goes through a period of having no track record but that’s not a dig against Bitcoin. I think 15 years isn’t exactly a short record either!
@@FluffyNuggets369 That's the entire point, he wouldn't have gotten into Bitcoin, because it's against his thesis.

"You also can't afford to live in Tokyo" Actually Tokyo an incredibly affordable city for it's size due to the extremely loose zoning laws that allow massive amounts of housing to be built of all shapes and sizes. It is unthinkable for a low wage restaurant worker in NYC to have their own studio apartment, but that is actually quite common in Tokyo. On top of that, the public transit in Tokyo is world-class so you don't need a car, which is more savings.

Typically that’s true but an even easier way to tell the real investors from the get rich quick crowd is how focused or dismissive of they are of “shitcoins”.
Nothing is certain, but I would put Bitcoin's chances of producing huge long term returns at 90% probability. A random number I know, but you get the point lol
That interview was great. I really appreciated when you pushed back on him. I think when it comes down to it Dave knows he has to give financial advice that can benefit most people. Crypto on the other hand drains most people.
Dave’s advice is excellent for people who aren’t personal finance nerds. You’ll get out of debt, and you’ll build wealth steadily and reliably. Super low risk, and easy to follow… not sure where his 12% return mutual funds are though!
@@ScottishJazzman Fidelity Contra Fund has 30 years under Bill Danoff over 13%. To get that, you'd need 100% of your portfolio in it. For a retired person taking monthly or annual income, you'd be forced to sell shares even in a down market. DR gives overall sound advice, except when it comes to investments.
As long as the government keeps allowing and asking the central banks to print money, Bitcoiners are gonna keep putting money into Bitcoin because it serves as a protection from debasement.
But what does every person who owns BTC do with it in the end? Are they using it like currency? No, they are converting it to cash. Cash will always have value over data. There’s no reason to own BTC if it’s not accepted as a form of payment.
8:40 FINALLY!!! This has been my biggest gripe with the "S&P has averaged 11.7% since inception" statement. Thank you for finally saying what we were and still are all thinking. The market is going to do what the market does, which is fluctuate! An average of 11.7% includes years of 20-30% growth and years of 10-20% declines. I think the biggest argument people make is that 10% withdrawal rate is not CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH. If you withdraw too much during a down year, you may never recover from it fully. That is the point that I think Dave has missed in the past. People want to be conservative so that they don't withdraw too much of their balance at once and hurt their future earnings.
Dave Ramsey doesn’t believe you can “invest” in digital assets, but there are plenty of people who are investing in them with a multi-year view. Bitcoin may only have a 15 year track record/history, but its security has never been broken despite many attacks, which is impressive, and it does have a long term roadmap to 2140. If it does reach this, then inevitably, those who did invest and held on will no doubt become millionaires, if not billionaires,that is generational wealth. It has huge asymmetrical upside which is foolish to not have some skin in the game in.
HODLers have done their research and invested wisely, based on the risks they are willing to take on a new asset class. Dave's yardstick about the terms "speculation" and "investment" is easily disprovable nonsense. VCs have done their research and invested in all kinds of new inventions since forever.
@@penguingobrrbrr353 I see your awareness of the world you live in. You believe that not even one person has become rich from investing in digital assets or Bitcoin.
I like DR as well, but what he does not see is that BTC is a hedge against a decreasing FIAT currency with the $ leading all of them. You missed your opportunity when you said that BTC's Supply is now less than Gold and DR replied but it wasn't last year. EXACTLY! But I think in DR's mind he was mistakenly pointing out that the supply of BTC could reverse and change back next year and be more than gold again.
He’s saying speculation and events like the halving spark the belief this will make the price increase. Nothing about the halving has made BTC reach much higher than 72k. It’s even made the price drop lower.
I enjoy listening to the debates. Andrei and Dave both debated over bit coin. Also, Kudos to Dave to standing for his beliefs. Andrei offered, and Dave declined. Generousity and diversification on both ends of the conversation
It’s a fairly common saying, a mix of brain surgeon and rocket scientist, I first heard it in the movie Mystery, Alaska from 1999 but I’m sure it’s been around longer.
'The people that are getting in it are getting in it because of greed.' DR. Not the case for most retail or institutional investors in BTC. They want exposure to an asset that cant be debased by governments and has all the positive attributes of gold with none of the defects. And massive amounts of analysis has been done by some of the best talent in finance. 'You can look back 10 years and has Facebook done okay. Maybe?' Its up over 800% Dave.
Dave has no idea what he’s talking about with bitcoin. Anyone that has done more than 10 hours of learning about bitcoin don’t go back. NOTE: I like Dave Ramsey. He’s great at getting people out of debt but horrible with understanding digital assets.
I cannot fathom how hypocritical and isolated Dave Ramsey is regarding bitcoin especially with how he has an implied understanding of fiat and value in assets and made millions from this knowledge.
Claiming it's a speculative asset is just plain wrong. It WAS speculative in the beginning. Now it's been around for 15 years, can't really call it short term anymore. And it's not like it's going away anytime soon. The amount of money being poured in from all the institutions is proof of that. There is NO way the price will go anywhere but up from here, the demand is just too insane.
I enjoyed this and it’s refreshing to see Dave in an off the cuff fashion. Not the biggest fan of his but I appreciate his point of view and that building is pretty cool.
Exactly - so obvious in his one word reply “ sure “ when Andre asked if he has read the white paper ha ha ha and also so obvious in his demeanour that he dismissed BTC years ago and now like Shiff cannot admit that he is actually wrong 🙄
I love bitcoin but that’s too much of a gamble. People need to be more responsible financially before they go into bitcoin. Glad it worked out for you though! BTC to the moon this cycle!
I know crypto and real estate and I must say that’s an insane risk but I’m glad it’s working out for you thus far. Please tell us you already paid off the HELOC!
I've also heard it referred to as "speculative" homes that builders go all out on (this is less common nowadays then prior to 2008) so maybe that's why the older people refer to them in that context
Thoroughly enjoyed the difference in your interview compared to others, and my favorite part was the behind the scenes of the studio and complex. Very cool and interesting stuff!
Loved your going back into the analysis of the technical aspect of crypto (@16:48), man! Up to the point that you mentioned that, the conversation really was going down a slippery slope. The importance of the actual implementations of blockchain, smart contracts and their market penetration is absolutely essential for all crypto assets.
I would be curious to see what Dave thinks of the Bitcoin Price Chart over time with the halving cycles overlaid. A clear pattern that is borderline undeniable.
Mortgages are the only debt that Ramsey isn't adamently against but they still stand by the principle of not borriwng more than you can afford (25% of imonthly ncome) and paying it off as quickly as possible.
Thank you for pressing him on Bitcoin, he usually discredits his callers for holding Bitcoin. Although he is still not persuaded at least you got more insight.
Wait until his bank accounts are frozen, bitcoin isn’t just about how much he has, if banks decides to shut down anyone’s bank accounts they can’t use any of it and nobody can freeze bitcoin because of its nature of design as long as the owner holds their own keys. It requires nobody’s permission to transact vs banks do. Did you know because of US sanctions many people in these sanctioned countries can’t get a bank accounts even?
I'm an OG Bitcoin buyer from 2015. I've seen it do nothing but go up exponentially the past decade. Imagine 10 years in the future looking back at the entire chart and deciding to finally buy BTC because it has a history long enough for you to finally be comfortable with. At that point it will be well over $1M.
Thanks for doing this. It was great seeing two people with so much knowledge discuss their views on investing, home buying and other financial topics. Well done sir!
This was really good you done a great job standing your ground on BTC and strangely enough I half got where Dave was coming from. But yeah this was dope!!!
It must be badass to have a retirement account that keeps growing and will never have to be touched because the business and real estate bring in millions.
Great video Andrei! I enjoyed the bitcoin convo you had with Dave, and the tour you went on with George. I’d like to visit Ramsey Solutions at some point.
Considering what Dave said about what makes something speculation verse investing. Would he say that an investor investing in a new business isn’t investing in that company, they are speculating in that new company? That business doesn’t have a long term track record so it must be speculation
Sounds like it. From everything I’ve heard over the years investing in a new business, especially a restaurant, is about the riskiest thing you can do.
I got burned Investing in Facebook in 2012 when they first went public, but I also didn't really know what I was doing either. A lot of people was misslead during their IPO. So much hype back then
Dave is speculating himself. He is speculating that historical systems and markets will follow historical patterns and that younger generations won’t wake up in large portions to the fraudulent basis of most of those historical systems

@@ScottishJazzman Fidelity Contra Fund has 30 years under Bill Danoff over 13%. To get that, you'd need 100% of your portfolio in it. For a retired person taking monthly or annual income, you'd be forced to sell shares even in a down market. DR gives overall sound advice, except when it comes to investments.

It’s insane how stubborn he is. He says he only does long term investments. Bitcoin is literally the best long term investment you can make
Bitcoin has only existed short term. Long term is 25+ years.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508
says who?
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Bitcoin is 15 years old
U don't know that yet
Bitcoin doesn’t have a long-term track record
As long as the government keeps allowing and asking the central banks to print money, Bitcoiners are gonna keep putting money into Bitcoin because it serves as a protection from debasement.
That’s why listening to Dave about Bitcoin is dangerous.
But what does every person who owns BTC do with it in the end? Are they using it like currency? No, they are converting it to cash. Cash will always have value over data. There’s no reason to own BTC if it’s not accepted as a form of payment.
I’ve also bought a couple of shirts and other products from vendors who accept Bitcoin as payment
@@FJX716 Many exchanges now allow bitcoin as payment. I see no reason why using bitcoin as an alternative currency wouldn’t be any option.
@@FJX716is gold used like currency? It’s digital gold.
Glad you did this Andrei!
8:40 FINALLY!!! This has been my biggest gripe with the "S&P has averaged 11.7% since inception" statement. Thank you for finally saying what we were and still are all thinking. The market is going to do what the market does, which is fluctuate! An average of 11.7% includes years of 20-30% growth and years of 10-20% declines. I think the biggest argument people make is that 10% withdrawal rate is not CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH. If you withdraw too much during a down year, you may never recover from it fully. That is the point that I think Dave has missed in the past. People want to be conservative so that they don't withdraw too much of their balance at once and hurt their future earnings.
Dave and Peter Schiff should have a talk show.
They probably both own Bitcoin
In ten years there’d be no one left to watch it😂!
Dave Ramsey doesn’t believe you can “invest” in digital assets, but there are plenty of people who are investing in them with a multi-year view. Bitcoin may only have a 15 year track record/history, but its security has never been broken despite many attacks, which is impressive, and it does have a long term roadmap to 2140. If it does reach this, then inevitably, those who did invest and held on will no doubt become millionaires, if not billionaires,that is generational wealth. It has huge asymmetrical upside which is foolish to not have some skin in the game in.
You do realize people can sell others dreams and believe in it ?. No one get rich without an actual business money producer.
@@penguingobrrbrr353
Exactly!
That's why gold has no value
HODLers have done their research and invested wisely, based on the risks they are willing to take on a new asset class. Dave's yardstick about the terms "speculation" and "investment" is easily disprovable nonsense. VCs have done their research and invested in all kinds of new inventions since forever.
@@penguingobrrbrr353 I see your awareness of the world you live in. You believe that not even one person has become rich from investing in digital assets or Bitcoin.
I like DR as well, but what he does not see is that BTC is a hedge against a decreasing FIAT currency with the $ leading all of them. You missed your opportunity when you said that BTC's Supply is now less than Gold and DR replied but it wasn't last year. EXACTLY! But I think in DR's mind he was mistakenly pointing out that the supply of BTC could reverse and change back next year and be more than gold again.
He’s saying speculation and events like the halving spark the belief this will make the price increase. Nothing about the halving has made BTC reach much higher than 72k. It’s even made the price drop lower.
I enjoy listening to the debates. Andrei and Dave both debated over bit coin.
Also, Kudos to Dave to standing for his beliefs. Andrei offered, and Dave declined. Generousity and diversification on both ends of the conversation
9:34 I'm not a rocket surgeon hahahaha... I don't think anyone is...
It’s a fairly common saying, a mix of brain surgeon and rocket scientist, I first heard it in the movie Mystery, Alaska from 1999 but I’m sure it’s been around longer.
Hey, says that all the time. One of my favorite lines 😂
I know a surgeon who became an astronaut. Does that count?
where are your timestamps and where is the bitcoin chat? can someone timestamp your videos please
Dave Ramsey is the man. Been following his principles for a long time and its paid off handsomely
His advice is kinda out dated now days
Preach Bitcoin my man!!
Can’t teach an old dog new tricks 😂
and yet he's still richer than you :). GO DAVE!!
Dave Ramsey’s best advice was when he said: “Scroll back up and smash the like buttonski 💯💯”
Best advice ever
Inflation decreasing of a finite supply while demand is at all time highs and increasing more than ever
I loved the interview and to be honest what he said is logical; I liked his perspectives. Thanks for sharing Andrei ✨
Are you going to meet Robert Kiyoski next? That would be cool!!
'The people that are getting in it are getting in it because of greed.' DR. Not the case for most retail or institutional investors in BTC. They want exposure to an asset that cant be debased by governments and has all the positive attributes of gold with none of the defects. And massive amounts of analysis has been done by some of the best talent in finance.
'You can look back 10 years and has Facebook done okay. Maybe?' Its up over 800% Dave.
Dave has no idea what he’s talking about with bitcoin. Anyone that has done more than 10 hours of learning about bitcoin don’t go back.
NOTE: I like Dave Ramsey. He’s great at getting people out of debt but horrible with understanding digital assets.
Anybody who's done more than 10 hours of learning about bitcoin laughs at it.
Man this was a great interview with Dave trying to push him with someone that really knows what they're talking about
I cannot fathom how hypocritical and isolated Dave Ramsey is regarding bitcoin especially with how he has an implied understanding of fiat and value in assets and made millions from this knowledge.
Claiming it's a speculative asset is just plain wrong. It WAS speculative in the beginning. Now it's been around for 15 years, can't really call it short term anymore. And it's not like it's going away anytime soon. The amount of money being poured in from all the institutions is proof of that. There is NO way the price will go anywhere but up from here, the demand is just too insane.
I cannot fathom how offended you are because Dave Ramsey thinks that you made a stupid investment :)
@@fred6907 Now there is a phrase I've heard before: "There is NO way the price will go anywhere but up from here, the demand is just too insane"
Thank you for the ad break after offering the bitcoin
I enjoyed this and it’s refreshing to see Dave in an off the cuff fashion. Not the biggest fan of his but I appreciate his point of view and that building is pretty cool.
Dave had to constantly talk over Andrei when he realized he never read the whitepaper 😂
Exactly - so obvious in his one word reply “ sure “ when Andre asked if he has read the white paper ha ha ha and also so obvious in his demeanour that he dismissed BTC years ago and now like Shiff cannot admit that he is actually wrong 🙄
Davis is so wrong about bitcoin. I took out a heloc on my house and bought at 20k. Best thing I ever did. Still holding.
Wow that sounds risky AF, glad it worked out for you tho!!
I love bitcoin but that’s too much of a gamble. People need to be more responsible financially before they go into bitcoin.
Glad it worked out for you though! BTC to the moon this cycle!
I know crypto and real estate and I must say that’s an insane risk but I’m glad it’s working out for you thus far. Please tell us you already paid off the HELOC!
buying some bitcoin is smart. betting your house on bitcoin is really risky and therefore not smart, even if it does end up working out.
Well this escalated quickly.
Dave Ramsey’s best advice was when he said: ,,Garbage in, garbage out´´
Fiat in, fiat out
At one point of time, there also haven't been bluechips, s&p... so, it is a weak point saying not to invest in BTC because of track record(16years).
Yeah buddy you totally didn’t know that S&P was created back in the 1920s didn’t you.
Spec home is a non custom built house… It is built to spec! FFS…
I've also heard it referred to as "speculative" homes that builders go all out on (this is less common nowadays then prior to 2008) so maybe that's why the older people refer to them in that context
'but last year april, it wasnt' - Dave Ramsey on bitcoin being the scarcest asset due to the halving 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Great video! Congratulations on getting a interview with him.
Dave sticking to his integrity!! That part!! 🎉
It’s not integrity. If he flips script now he looses the narrative & in turn losses power.
Thoroughly enjoyed the difference in your interview compared to others, and my favorite part was the behind the scenes of the studio and complex. Very cool and interesting stuff!
Hahaha Don't tell this to Robert Kiyoski 😂
Dave Ramsey is a financial hero…
Bitcoin Brother 💯💪🏽
USD going to zero is the longest game possible.
Thanks for the interview!
I had a blast!
@@AndreiJikhI’m glad you didn’t just agree with a dinosaur.
Loved your going back into the analysis of the technical aspect of crypto (@16:48), man! Up to the point that you mentioned that, the conversation really was going down a slippery slope. The importance of the actual implementations of blockchain, smart contracts and their market penetration is absolutely essential for all crypto assets.
I would be curious to see what Dave thinks of the Bitcoin Price Chart over time with the halving cycles overlaid. A clear pattern that is borderline undeniable.
Man raoul paul needs to have a conversation with Dave about crypto
Robert Breedlove and Andreas Antonopoulos too.
@@manfromnantucket6880 You guys talk about these folks like superheroes lmao
Or Michael Saylor
“Buy” or finance a home with no credit and still lock in a great rate?
Dave glossed over that real quick! 😂
Mortgages are the only debt that Ramsey isn't adamently against but they still stand by the principle of not borriwng more than you can afford (25% of imonthly ncome) and paying it off as quickly as possible.
Thank you for pressing him on Bitcoin, he usually discredits his callers for holding Bitcoin. Although he is still not persuaded at least you got more insight.
What sucks because Dave doesn’t need bitcoin. He is a millionaire. It’s the people that listen to him and stay out of Bitcoin that will stay poor.
Wait until his bank accounts are frozen, bitcoin isn’t just about how much he has, if banks decides to shut down anyone’s bank accounts they can’t use any of it and nobody can freeze bitcoin because of its nature of design as long as the owner holds their own keys. It requires nobody’s permission to transact vs banks do. Did you know because of US sanctions many people in these sanctioned countries can’t get a bank accounts even?
Well if they're already poor and don't have much knowledge on digital assets Bitcoin can't do much for them either 🤷♂️
Mathematically wages havent kept up with home prices.. then says its always been the same as difficult. What is this!
Great video! Love him or hate him, Dave and his team have probably singlehandedly helped more Americans get out of debt than anyone.
I'm an OG Bitcoin buyer from 2015. I've seen it do nothing but go up exponentially the past decade. Imagine 10 years in the future looking back at the entire chart and deciding to finally buy BTC because it has a history long enough for you to finally be comfortable with. At that point it will be well over $1M.
So stupid to think that something with no initial value will keep going up😂
I bought 1 x BTC in 2019 for $9k, today = $63k - sit back and watch D A - you’ll still be whinging when it’s $1 mill.
Thanks for doing this. It was great seeing two people with so much knowledge discuss their views on investing, home buying and other financial topics. Well done sir!
Old and young points of view of financial experts, I love it.
This is cool! Ramsey is the reason I started investing.
Last 10 years:
Gold 184%
Facebook 788%
Bitcoin 23000%
All four have done TERRIBLE.
Integrity seems to be a forgotten virtue, particularly in a world where hypocrisy abounds. thank you, Dave Ramsey. thank you, Andrei.
Is it really integrity when your premise is flawed?
Just a hypothetical.
damn good episode. love dave and andrei
This was really good you done a great job standing your ground on BTC and strangely enough I half got where Dave was coming from. But yeah this was dope!!!
Where can I find the full video of the interview?
It must be badass to have a retirement account that keeps growing and will never have to be touched because the business and real estate bring in millions.
Hey! Incredible Job! Bought one more Bitcoin just because of this Video!
Great video Andrei! I enjoyed the bitcoin convo you had with Dave, and the tour you went on with George. I’d like to visit Ramsey Solutions at some point.
BTC has been around for 15+ years now. When exactly does its track record take effect?
2000 years lol
Tomorrow morning at 1030 et
Long term is 25+ years.
NYSE has existed since 1792. What do you think?
Automagically!
Great episode! Thanks Andrei
Awesome interview
I. Have. Been. Waiting. For. This. For. Years.
Thabk you!!!!!
The collab I've been waiting for...
YESSSS!
Considering what Dave said about what makes something speculation verse investing. Would he say that an investor investing in a new business isn’t investing in that company, they are speculating in that new company? That business doesn’t have a long term track record so it must be speculation
Sounds like it. From everything I’ve heard over the years investing in a new business, especially a restaurant, is about the riskiest thing you can do.
Yes……that is exactly right lmao. Sounds like you’re trying to make a rhetorical question that would make a point.
That’s precisely what he was saying with the Facebook example
I got burned Investing in Facebook in 2012 when they first went public, but I also didn't really know what I was doing either. A lot of people was misslead during their IPO. So much hype back then
I like this guys investing advice
Great interview with Dave. Gotta agree with him on Bitcoin . I do own some though.
❤❤❤❤Loved this. Transparency.
I'm not a boomer, instantly talks about bitcoin like every other boomer
My mom also calls him Uncle Dave lol. Love this collab
Mike from Houston, TX here. Freaking love your content, Andrei. Would love to meet you someday man!
Dave is speculating himself. He is speculating that historical systems and markets will follow historical patterns and that younger generations won’t wake up in large portions to the fraudulent basis of most of those historical systems
The technicals/fundamentals of BTC SHOULD change it for him. Dave just refuses to educate himself and open his mind on the history of money.
Looked up the definition of speculation, no mention of time frames. Dave is confidently wrong
As is the source you looked up.
I'm glad Dave is welcoming TH-cam personal finance folks to his channel.
To be a master you must find a master to be like. Great video. Cheers from Switzerland.
He's a financial televangelist, the Joel Olsteen of money... "I'm not a stupid boomer who doesn't understand crypto" also "I'm not a rocket surgeon"
He says "rocket surgeon" all the time. It's a joke. The man built and runs a media and real estate empire, he's unquestionably smarter than you and I.
I agree. His whole shtick is annoying and dated. Being a boomer helped more with finances than cutting coffee ever will 😂
I loved you and Dave’s back and forth great like you guys doing it together for years lol
