Seven months ago, my son and I were sitting at a bar and he said, hey, Historically, it dips in October and it bounces in November. I said, you really believe that? He said, yeah. And he's a liberal, but he saw that on a conservative news channel. I said, OK, let's put $1,000 each on Ethereum and Bitcoin. I don't want to do 1,000, he said, but we'll just do 500. So we put 500 each one.

Susan on the Fox business. She's very credible. As a matter of fact, she'll contradict the host a lot.

No, I wasn't in the culture at all. See, back when, in the 80s and 90s, I used to raise and sell Arabian horses. I had a farm in New Hampshire, 50 acres, indoor riding hall, show barn. And we would have conventions very similar to the one we're sitting in now, where all the side booths, insurance, transportation.

Housing was $400 a month. Then we had our trainer who trained them, would take them to shows and show them off. How do people make money off of... We sell them. But what's the horse market? And what you would call now is a pyramid. We would sell it to him. He would sell it to her. She would sell it to you. And somebody ended up with a hot potato at the end. An Arabian horse. The 80s were crazy.

I am seeing basically the same thing going on, just it's probably their kids doing it now. When you say the same thing going on, what do you mean? All the side hacks. You know, we've got the mining, we've got the insurance, we've got the... What do you call it? The pick and shovel? These are the pick and shovel guys in this exhibit hall. So in the gold room?

You can't have gold, but if you're selling them the shovels and the picks... Very lucrative. How do you explain this to your friends? I don't. You know, my days of selling people, you know, it's kind of like wetting your pants in a gray suit. It really feels good, but no one notices.
