My pleasure!

We here, in Australia are basically the testing group for new, crazy legislation designed to control the populous. Aswell as being the western world resource pit. The big problem with Aussies is we stay quiet and don't fight back anywhere near as much as we should. It's wy I follow people like yaself... to escape our Orwelian overlords. Me personally I've moved deep into the aussie outback, with my partner, after the lock downs and our life has never been better. We a sovereign in regards to food, money and energy. Listening to people like u saved us !

Rao Paul is ultra-bullish, no way CMC is going to $10-15T this cycle. Maybe $4-6T. This is the guy that also called for $30k ETH last cycle, got 15% of the way there!

[@themiddlejourney6286]

U should explain why you don't think so. Crypto market low last cycle went from a bottom of 90 billion or there abouts to 3.2 trillion marketcap. Over 32 x . This time the low being 1 trillion or there abouts could go half the previous cycle putting the market cap around 1.5 trillion. I am thinking 10 to 14 trillion. We don't have long to wait let's see who is right . I bet you hope your call is wrong 😂😅

God bless him, but now he's just trying to fight the boredom lmao

[@Michael-vj9rn]

"It's almost become uncomfortable to drive a car that doesn't have FSD" - This made me realize how important it is to put FSD into the hands of younger drivers, especially with a cheaper compact car. Teenagers who are raised on Netflix will never accept anything less. Teenagers who get used to self driving will never go back. Tesla could even discount FSD for young drivers, so they get to know and trust Tesla's FSD more than any other brand.

[@phil98765]

James, love your channel, wisdom, style, humour and integrity. You are my daily companion in exploring the world of finance, macro, crypto and obtaining financial freedom. A big thank you, is not enough. But I do think you might be too bearish, and that, in my opinion is due to overemphasising the power of the models, and underestimating the adoption and Metcalfe's law, which will drive the price so much higher. In simple math, today less than 5% of all people have some level of allocation to crypto currencies, many of these people have negligible allocations. If the current crypto market cap is 2.2 trillion USD and the total value of world's assets is around 900 trillion USD and bitcoin is the fundamental layer of money for the future, and blockchain technology and AI continue their exponential growth in the years coming, with the momentum we expect, bitcoin and the best blockchains with real user value will absorb a substantial amount of all monetary premium that currently sits in real estate, bonds and stocks. Therefore, I think a 100 trillion USD market cap is absolutely feasible in the next 5-10 years. Time will tell. But I am bullish as hell!

[@SuperJ03y]

In Sydney, I regularly go to the Farmer's market which is huge marketplace with a large amount of different ethnic communities from a wide range of voting electorates. These people depend on these markets and there is no way anything but cash will work in these places. If any political party tries to take cash away from the economy, there would be a large backlash against them from a large part of their voter base, so its not going to happen here. Maquarie bank is not so much a retail bank and is more of a merchant bank. The other big Australian banks are much more of a retail bank. Maquarie bank would have a large amount of professional class customers who are willing to do away with cash, but the other banks will not get away with it and there will be a huge political storm if the other banks start to get onboard the CBDC train.

FSD has it's place in the future and I very much welcome it. However, I and many others actually enjoy driving ICE cars. They fulfil an emotional need that has very little to do with getting from A to B in the most efficient manner. Do you ever wake up on a Sunday morning and look forward to just taking your favourite car for a drive with no particular destination in mind. If you own a Tesla or any other EV the answer is almost certainly NO.
