Chapter 3: What role did AI play in the creation of Bitcoin?

39.767 - 44.213 Sean Kelly

What makes you want to think about the future so heavily, I guess, because a lot of people don't think that far ahead.

0

44.513 - 44.754 Armando Pantoja

Oh, yeah.

Chapter 4: What is the bullish outlook on Bitcoin investment?

44.774 - 57.51 Armando Pantoja

When I was a kid, so like most kids around my age, I got into Back to the Future. So ever since then, I was always like fascinated with the future. So I started reading about, you know, the technologies that were coming, you know, a lot of technologies that exist right now.

0

57.794 - 76.757 Armando Pantoja

And just, and then figured out from there, I tried to figure out why did, you know, some of the things that were predicted, for example, flying cars never came to fruition and why some did and why some got rejected and why some didn't get rejected and did get, you know, You know, some of the stuff did get adopted and some didn't.

0

76.777 - 92.513 Armando Pantoja

So I started, like, researching how all this works, psychology, group psychology, markets and cycles, a lot of other different things. And I started, like, just getting deep into it, right? I went to school for computer science, studied all of that, and then all of a sudden everything just came together, finance, computer science, and futurism.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of AI on investing strategies?

93.193 - 94.214 Armando Pantoja

And it just all came together.

0

94.575 - 96.897 Sean Kelly

Now I got to know why you think flying cars don't exist.

0

97.13 - 106.159 Armando Pantoja

The reason why flying cars don't exist now is because nobody really knew this back then. Things come with time, right, is that flying cars are too dangerous.

0

Chapter 6: How could quantum computers solve world hunger?

106.639 - 115.688 Armando Pantoja

First of all, they take up too much energy. For a car to fly as opposed to rolling is like an eight, nine times difference in energy cost, right, because you have to lift the car, the entire weight of the car.

0

Chapter 7: What advancements are being made in quantum computing?

115.708 - 131.353 Armando Pantoja

When you have wheels, that's a simple machine, so you don't have to move the entire weight of the car. With flying, you do. And then if there's an engine failure or an error by the pilot, I guess, Everybody dies. So that's the reason why we don't have flying cars.

0

131.393 - 140.97 Armando Pantoja

We can technically make them, but it's a way more complex to fly a car as opposed to driving a car and also the energy concerns and also all of that.

0

Chapter 8: How might AI and technology shape our future?

141.01 - 142.493 Armando Pantoja

So that's the reason why we don't have flying cars.

0

142.642 - 146.968 Sean Kelly

That being said, in our lifetime, where do you see cars heading to? Do you see self-driving cars?

0

147.309 - 163.732 Armando Pantoja

I think autonomous cars will be, everybody will have autonomous cars. I think in the future when we look back, a lot of the, maybe my kids and maybe your kids or whatever, they'll look back and say, I can't even believe humans were allowed to drive cars. Being, you know, how dangerous they were, you know, that's the number one cause of deaths in the country. Wow.

0

163.852 - 173.407 Armando Pantoja

And right before heart disease, you know. cars, people getting in car wrecks. So people will look back and say they can't believe that humans even drove, you know, because it'd be all automated.

0

173.447 - 187.29 Armando Pantoja

Now, the flying cars will be for like, you know, maybe getting from like New York to New Jersey and stuff like that, maybe hubs, you know, so you get in a hub like you, like kind of like you do with the bus, you fly somewhere and you get off and you get into an autonomous car to get you to your final destination.

187.31 - 190.435 Sean Kelly

I know Elon was trying to do the underground cars, right? The Hyperloop or whatever.

190.415 - 200.988 Armando Pantoja

Yeah, yeah. I still think that's going to work in the future. So a lot of stuff that Elon's doing is very, he's way out there. People don't understand what's going on, but I think he's a genius.

201.008 - 204.292 Sean Kelly

Yeah, he got a lot into politics, so he's getting a lot of hate now.

204.513 - 207.857 Armando Pantoja

Yeah, I don't know why he did that. I would have stayed out of politics.
