>> ALL RIGHT WELL WE ARE
CELEBRATING AN ANNIVERSARY IN
THE CRYPTO WORLD 13 YEARS
AGO YESTERDAY, THE CRYPTO WHITE
PAPER WAS RELEASED DETAILING
THE CONCEPT OF IT PEER TO
PEER VERSION ELECTRONIC CASH
THAT WOULD ALLOW ONLINE
PAYMENTS TO BE SENT DIRECTLY
FROM ONE PARTY TO ANOTHER
WITHOUT GOING THROUGH A
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. WELL THE
CONSTANT DIDN'T CATCH ON
IMMEDIATELY. WE CERTAINLY KNOW
HAS NOW JOINING ME IS GUY
HIRSCH US A MANAGING DIRECTOR
AND HEAD AT FT IN EACH BOROUGH.
IT IS A CRYPTO TRADING
PLATFORM. I THINK SO MUCH FOR
COMING ON THIS SHOW. WHAT WAS
THE PIVOTAL MOMENT FOR
BITCOIN IT THAT CHANGED ITS
IMAGE FROM A DARK WEB CURRENCY
TO NOW A VERY MAINSTREAM ASSET.
>> I THINK THAT'S A FANTASTIC
QUESTION AND WE HAVE TO
>> PREVIOUSLY TO BITCOIN THERE
WERE OTHER ATTEMPTS OF CREATING
SOME SORT
OF CURRENCY.
>> THAT WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO
OWN THEIR
OWN MONEY.
>> AND NOT BE SUBJECT TO
CENSORSHIP NOT BE SUBJECT TO
MANIPULATION NOT
BE SO IT'S ARTIFICIAL
INTERVENTION IN THE WEALTH
CREATION HAPPEN THEY'RE GOING
ON SO I THINK BITCOIN SOME HOW
BUILD ON TOP OF ALL OF THESE IN
IN A WAY PERFECTED. THESE
PRIOR ATTEMPTS AND GAVE PEOPLE
THE CONFIDENCE NOW IT IS AN
IMMUTABLE LEDGER THAT NO ONE
CAN REALLY HACK OR
INTERFERE WITH. I THINK THERE
WERE A NUMBER OF MOMENTS.
SINCE
2008.
YOU CAN TALK INFLATION RISING
YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE ACTUAL
EVENTS THAT LED TO
TO WHAT I BELIEVE TO THE
CREATION OF A POINT WHICH IS
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS IN 2008
AND
PEOPLE CLAMORING. 2 OTHER
ASSETS TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE
SOLUTIONS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
CAN THEY DO TO PROTECT THEIR
WEALTH. YOU HAVE TO YEAH.
>> SO IT SOUNDS LIKE YEAH,
LET'S JUST
LET'S JUST TAKING A BREAK HERE
FOR A MOMENT, IT SOUNDS LIKE
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS WAS A KEY
MOMENT AND THEN THIS LATEST
CRISIS AND
RISING INFLATION. IS ANOTHER
KEY MOMENT THAT HAS CAUSED BIG
POINT TO RISE. I THINK THE
OTHER YOU KNOW BIG QUESTION FOR
ME IS WE SEE A LOT OF
CELEBRITIES NOW TOUTING IT EVEN
AT A TIME WHEN CHINA HAS
SHUNNED IT I.
HOW IS THIS ALL KIND OF FACTOR
INTO THE PERFECT STORM TO GET
TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
>> SO THERE'S AN AMAZING
RIGHT BASICALLY A CONVERGENCE
BETWEEN CULTURE
IN CRYPTO YOU JUST REPORTED
ABOUT THE BURGER KING DEAL
PREVIOUS IT
OR NOT THAT WAS THE NATIONAL
BURRITO DAY BY 2, BUT THEY ALSO
GIVE AN UPBEAT
BEFORE THE HARDEST AND ARE
USING TRIP TO IN ORDER TO
ACCEPT PAYMENTS
FOR THEIR. EITHER THE JAYS OR
ARTISTS YOU KNOW
IF HE'S SO THERE'S A COMPLETE
CONVERGENT NOW CONVERGENCE NOW
OF CULTURE AND CRYPTO WHICH
RULE PRESUMABLY WILL
I CELEBRATE THE ADOPTION OF
BITCOIN WORLDWIDE DUE RESPECT
OF A CHINA IS DOING.
>> INTERESTING OKAY, SO YOU'RE
ALSO THE HEAD OF AT T'S.
I YOUR FINANCIAL BROKERAGE
COMPANY WHICH DOES WORKING
CRYPTO CURRENCIES AND CLEARLY
AND AT
T'S TOO TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW
AND AT T'S RELATE TO WHAT
EXACTLY YOUR FIRM IS SEEN WHEN
IT COMES TO THE POPULARITY OF
ENTITIES.
>> SO IF THESE BRINGING
TOGETHER ESSENTIALLY ANYONE WHO
TOUCHES UPON
HULL CHUR IT CAN BE
LUXURY BRANDS SPORTS INTER TEAM
IN SPARTA IS CREATING
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN THE
FORM OF SONGS OR MOVIES OR
DIGITAL ART AND THEN THAT IS
CONVERGING BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY
WAS ISN'T JUST BLOCKING THE
UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY IN
TREATING SOME PEOPLE CAN BUY
DIRECTLY FROM THE ARTIST.
THE BOOK AND THEN ALSO MAKE
SURE THAT THE ARTIST
KEEP RECEIVING ROYALTIES
OFFERED FOR SALE SOMETHING
DISTURBING NOT HAPPENING IN
THE ARTICLE AND THERE'S THAT
BEAUTIFUL CONVERSION WE CAN ALL
THESE OUNCE ASPECTS WHICH BRING
IN A LOT OF PEOPLE INTO AH INTO
CRYPTO.
>> I'M IN THE
DIGITAL SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY
TO CRYPTO GUY WE'VE HEARD SOME
REALLY
BULLISH CALLS AND A CRYPTO
COULD REACH A $100,000 A TOKEN
BY THE END OF THIS YEAR HEAR
WHAT IS YOUR TARGET ON
CRYPTOCURRENCY IT I KNOW YOU'RE
NOT A STRATEGIST PER SE BUT I'M
JUST CURIOUS WHERE YOU THINK
THIS WHERE THIS MARKET IS
HEADING.
>> SO GENERALLY WE ALWAYS BEEN
VERY BULLISH WE DON'T OBVIOUSLY
PREDICT PRICES WERE MADE
ANNOUNCEMENTS ON WHERE WHERE
PRICES MIGHT
MOVE BY. I THINK THAT GENERALLY
WE BELIEVE IN THIS TECHNOLOGY
IS THAT THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL
TRANSFORM NOT JUST A FINANCIAL
SOME SAYS MARKET BUT ALSO AS WE
JUST TALKED ABOUT THE ART
WORLD, ENTERTAINMENT
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY,
EVERYTHING WILL MOVE INTO THIS
FORM OF TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS
US FOR A MUCH GREATER TRUST THE
MADRID RIO TRANSPARENCY MUCH
WHERE THE REAL EFFICIENT MARKET
IT'S SO I THINK WE'RE JUST ON
THAT WAS ABOUT TO
HAPPENED WITH REGARD TO THE
TRANSFORMATION THIS TECHNOLOGY
WOULD BRING RUSS NOT JUST IN
FINANCIAL SERVICES, BUT ALSO
