I actually wrote yesterday.
I am now starting to change my mind because of the short-term oil price impact and the increasing likelihood of inflation.
Now β
What I think is unique about Bitcoin is, and you mentioned a little bit, the Middle Eastern countries, what they're really going through is they have young people who have risen into positions of power and influence, and they are trying to digitally transform their countries.
And as they go through that digital transformation, that includes artificial intelligence, that includes getting everyone mobile phones and internet and all that kind of stuff.
It includes e-commerce.
It includes eliciting information.
all of the big industry giants of Silicon Valley and the West into their countries.
But it also includes them looking at stablecoins and Bitcoin and tokenization and, you know, financialized assets as well.
And so if you go and just look at Saudi as an example, I mean, they pretty much went from not very, quote unquote, developed to they're talking about Neom, right?
And, you know, kind of hold everything.
And they're not just talking about, hey, we're going to build the line or Neom or whatever.
how they do it, what are the considerations of which they're building, how green or renewable energy or the way that it flows and all these things that are super cutting edge.
And so I do think that when I view gold and you said to me, what are the cultures where gold is most embedded?
It is the like, every single friend I have that is Indian or from India will tell you
My uncle, my grandfather, my father, you know, passing the family gold down, like it's a generalization, but it's because it's true.
China, very similarly, right, is like that was the chosen asset.
And those are very patriarch driven kind of consensus cultures where, you know, go online.
Like people will be like, I just sold my company for $500 million.
And my dad's still asking why I didn't become a doctor, you know, type thing.
