let's just say you're sitting there at the table at the summit on Friday and president Trump says hey Michael I know you're a big wig in the industry what's the number one thing I should and shouldn't do with this Reserve what would you say less than 24 hours until the first ever White House crypto Summit smash the like button send this video to one friend March 7th is set to be a historic day billionaire crypto investor Brock Pierce he's an early investor in Ripple tether EOS and many more crypto companies says tomorrow tomorrow expect things
to change forever the first ever crypto Summit it's on Friday it's in the White House what do you want to hear well I think it's the moment when we look back in history where we we we have a bit of a preview but that's the moment where I think we're going to look at that date March 7th 2025 is the day where we went from being in the shadows to acknowledged and recognized by the greatest government in the world and with that the rest of the world will follow so we're going to hear about the
Strategic Reserve we'll probably have greater sense and I imagine there's going to be some additional announcements that are going to be just as exciting the Bitcoin strategic Reserve plans are expected to be announced confirmed by Commerce Secretary Howard lutnick also seemingly hinted at further this morning by cryptar David Sachs he posted over the past decade the federal government sold approximately 195,000 Bitcoin for proceeds of 366 million if the government had simply held that Bitcoin it would be worth over 17 billion today that's how much it costs American taxpayers not to have a long-term strategy and
to go further imagine how much 195 Bitcoin will be worth in the future now right now the US still has 200,000 plus Bitcoin confiscated valued to roughly 15 billion imagine how much this will be worth in the future it's looking very likely that this is about to happen now Trump has made it abundantly clear that he wants to support the crypto industry as a whole not just Bitcoin but Bitcoin xrp salana Ada eth even Michael sailor expects more than just a strategic Bitcoin stockpile to be announced I was surprised to hear Michael sailor be so
bullish on crypto in this clip let's just say you're sitting there at the table at the summit on Friday and president Trump says hey Michael I know you're a big wig in the industry what's the number one thing I should and shouldn't do with this Reserve what would you say I would say the number one thing is lay down Clarity amongst digital assets because there's a lot of conflict and confusion because people misdey the terms currency commodity security token I think the way to think about the industry is there's digital Commodities that's Bitcoin and asset
without an issur there's digital currencies like the stable coins that's really important for US dollar Supremacy and digital Commerce there are digital Securities like tokenized stocks and bonds that will actually provide a capital efficiency and globalization for American Securities and then there are digital tokens assets with issuers that provide digital utility that are very interesting and compelling their role is capital creation for the small and midsize companies that are blocked from the capital markets right now I think that it's wise to capitalize a country or a company on a commodity an asset without an issuer
something like a property you could buy oil bitco Co is a commodity I think that uhrp is is attached to a company Ripple I think that those are tokens and we should have a regulatory framework to allow them uh to be issued because issued but in the reserve should they be in the Reserve I think the emerging consensus in the industry is that Bitcoin should be the element in a strategic Reserve over the long term for the country but if you wanted to uh support very investments in a sovereign wealth fund that would be up
to the executive branch so let's be clear I'm hearing you say the reserve fund should really have the tested one and that is Bitcoin and not salano or or card cardano or salano the important thing to keep in mind is Bitcoin is the one universally agreed upon foundational asset in the entire crypto economy because it's the asset without an issure it's neutral 99% of the energy and the capital has flown into that one but I want to be clear that the US has the opportunity to be the leader in indital assets if they have a
progressive framework that supports currencies Securities and tokens as well but Bitcoin is volatile Ark invests Kathy Wood says ignore the short-term noise bitcoin's long-term trend is not broken most trafi investors most of Wall Street are still underweight Bitcoin and crypto there's so much upside ahead of us listen do you just ignore the moves in Bitcoin I mean we see Bitcoin 27% off the highs does it matter to you um we keep our eye on the prize we have a five-year investment time Horizon and if you look at the threeyear rolling average of bitcoin's price movements
Bitcoin appreciation it has always been up on a year-to-year basis so you take three years average them and then you're into the next year you average the last three that has been going up every year it has not gone down once so and if you look at uh some of the more traditional Financial indicators sharp ratios stinu take me back to my CFA books with the Shar you'll see what a fabulous asset it has been over time and really most people are still maybe not at this conference but most people in the traditional Financial world
are extremely underweight and in not only this technology and and asset space but also underweight our other Technologies why because we live in a world um especially since the tech and Telecom bust in in uh 2000 and even more so 2008 2009 people are scared to invest they want something to hold their hand and that hand holding is called either passive investing or a benchmark sensitive investing and and so those benchmarks typically don't hold our names we're looking to the Future not to to the past and more than that the AI industry AI is projected
to grow 8X over the next 10 years the AI industry will be using bitco coin and crypto AI is a nent industry exploding with growth just like crypto and AI agents will be using Bitcoin and crypto and that will be a catalyst for Price appreciation too listen to Kathy Woods explain this you early on bitcoin what's next well we're we feel we're early on the convergence among Technologies idea and you know the idea that the five major innovation platforms around which Arc created our company so robotics energy storage artificial intelligence blockchain technology broadly and multiomic
sequencing in the life science space those five platforms involve 15 Technologies and they are converging and creating really explosive growth opportunities powered by AI now ai is is accelerating the rate of change of it everything and everyone you know one of our our mantras is get on the right side of change and we we give our research away because we want people to understand how their lives are going to change how their children their grandchildren how their lives are going how their grandparents lives are going to change with autonomous Mobility right um so just trying
to help people understand that and then when we say powered by AI we're going to have both on from a personal point of view and a professional point of view uh agents working for us digital agents right uh this is AI at work and um as we do they they need the wherewithal to facilitate transactions and some of them are going to be microtransactions guess what's going to be be involved crypto assets of all shapes and forms so uh uh we think we think uh Bitcoin has a very special place in uh the the crypto
asset world and is going to be where most of the value in the crypto asset ecosystem is is going to be derived but we we think that there are going to be other ways with smart contracts so based on ethereum and and salana uh to enable some of these agents to get our work done get our shopping done uh taking the drudgery out of life nobody wants to shop for their own clothes right no I hate it I really do hate it people don't believe that I hate shopping but I hate it I can't believe
how quickly everything is happening please tell me your thoughts on all of this in the comment section below I know a lot of you were so bearish over the last couple weeks probably thinking this would never happen now it looks like it is happening like I've been saying my friends 2025 will be a great year for crypto and Beyond 2025 and Beyond will be great for crypto see you tomorrow
