Keywords

💡Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, without a central bank or single administrator, that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries. In the video, it is mentioned that the introduction of a spot ETF and the upcoming events in April are driving the price of Bitcoin up, with expectations of it reaching over 100K by the end of the year.

💡Supply and Demand

Supply and demand are fundamental economic concepts that describe the relationship between the quantity of a commodity that producers wish to sell at various prices and the quantity that consumers wish to buy. In the context of the video, the decrease in supply for Bitcoin, coupled with the high demand, is expected to result in an increase in its price.

💡ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund)

An ETF, or Exchange-Traded Fund, is a type of investment fund and exchange-traded product that holds a collection of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, and is traded on a stock exchange. The introduction of a Bitcoin spot ETF is noted in the video as a significant factor that has driven up the price of Bitcoin.

💡NVIDIA

NVIDIA is a multinational technology company known for its graphics processing units (GPUs) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

Transcripts

We're seeing a lot of kind of continued traction that's coming into the market

because of the upcoming having that's happening in April.

And we already saw an uptick in Bitcoin pricing because of the introduction of

the spot ETF earlier this year, which drove the price close to almost like

over 70,000. So we can honestly expect with the

decrease of supply that's now coming into the market for Bitcoin.

On top of that very bout, rate pace demand that we can actually expect over

100 K and pricing by end of year while end of year.

And Tom, we're kind of on our way there today.

We're up 4%. Bitcoin is 72,100.

So back up to those rare five minute silence from Michael McGlone.

Exactly. I mean, he's standing on the deck at the

at the the Bethany, whatever it is the hotel may be at the Delano, he might

break the. Delano Yeah.

You know, you know, he's like, huge. Yep.

So I mean, he's been calling it so Victoria aside from Bitcoin because I

still can't get Jamie Dimon to, you know, give it the stamp of approval

though he is all into to I so on the air front which is a subject of Jamie

Dimon's or part partly subject in Jamie Dimon's letter today in video is that

still the way for investors to play AI or are there other ways?

How do you guys think about that? I think that video is definitely the way

to pay pay through. I were thinking about what has to go

into these air language learning models. There's also there's high computing and

and graphic processing that's necessary in order to create these large

processing models, but also to pivot back to Bitcoin.

It's also a necessity when it comes to Bitcoin mining.

So we're going to see a huge uptick in the demand for in video CPU chips as

well, which are top of the line when it comes to mining, but also top of the

line when it comes to graphic processing and also informational processing, which

is absolutely critical when it comes to AI.

So NVIDIA is the number one player and I'm so sorry for everyone who keeps

trying to short it. I can't find a reason for it to go down.

Okay, I will pull this another time here.

I want to ask another intelligent question here because I can't do it.

But you go to the heart of the matter. Victoria Bills is saying forget about

the value trap. Forget about straw hats in winter.

Climb on board. The winners discuss that strategy.

It's as simple as what we're seeing in the future.

The future of Web three going into Web four, the necessity around AI in terms

of increased productivity and how that plays into, again, all of the large

processes that are coming into the market these days are more of the

innovative technologies at what is required to process AI.

What is required to actually create these systems is large computing

process, is large sets of computing process and data.

So when we think about the players that are ahead of the game and the players

that are actually benefiting from getting into this space very early on,

that's how Nvidia was able to make themselves a player.

And then even with a supercross like suit, like a super small computer, super

smart computer, sorry, I'm blanking on the name.

So we're sort of like super small computers as

super small computers looked like they have been a leaders when it later in the

game when it comes to just that data information processing.

Now some of the drawbacks to that, of course, is what's going to happen when

it comes to climate change. These like it's a lot of energy that it

takes to, again, process all of this.
