My issue with Bitcoin is that it's strictly, to any economist you speak to, it's strictly just built on speculation. There isn't much of a utility and there's nothing backing it other than a limited supply and demand that is fluctuating based on the speculation of it. So there aren't many currencies in this world in which there's literally nothing behind it but speculation.

a limited supply and speculation. You look at your United States dollar, there's the United States behind it. And so for that reason, I'm not very bullish on Bitcoin in the long run.

Yeah, I think it's a good place to start. It's like, go think about anything when it comes to money, where it's pure form of deregulation and every economist that's out there that has had extreme historical success and providing advice that is unbiased. It's one of the only things they're unified on is that it's strictly just based on momentum and speculation.

Yeah, I fell for a bunch of scams. It's gotten a lot better. I fell for one scam when I was on a train in Europe and the gentleman told me that I didn't buy a ticket for the train in which you didn't have to buy a ticket for. And he had a fake POS system. And what he said was that you had to pay for the ticket plus the fine.

And so I was, you know, I was kind of, I was by myself in a tough position, in a weird position. I just, and he had the, he had all the right uniform on and I swiped away and he got my credit card information and then also charged me for that, that fee plus ticket when there was no ticket. So I learned the hard way there.

I've also gotten, you know, when I was in my early twenties, you know, you have to rebook a flight and you're in a rush. I Googled you know, American airline customer service didn't do my due diligence on the number. The number was not American airlines. They were faking as other American airlines. And I thought I was rebooking and re-changing my flight for a certain dollar amount.

Meanwhile, I was actually providing a fraudulent phone number, my credit card information. And, um, I've gotten better, but where there's so many things right now where they'll tell you there's fraud, like, oh, there's been fraud on your card. Click this link to just verify it. And the link is full of phishing. So I think in general, the scams have gotten so sophisticated.
