Anthony Pompliano: And then for the next hour, you're stuck with me, so hopefully I don't bore the shit out of you. But I'm going to spend 10, 15 minutes maybe talking. I was talking to some of you guys earlier, so I've got maybe some things to share, both Sylvia related, but also macroeconomics. And then you guys will just ask questions for 45 minutes or so, and then we'll get into the guest, if that works. Sound good? Yeah? Awesome. How many people here live in New York? Okay. Like a little more than half. How many people here use Sylvia? Okay, that's good. You're at the Sylvia conference. That's helpful. How many of you own Bitcoin? Okay. Should I be worried that more people own Bitcoin than use Sylvia? And then how many of you here use some sort of AI product just in general? Okay. So basically it's like Bitcoin AI audience, maybe, so we think about it. My general thought process is... Let's start macro first and we'll talk about Sylvia. On the macro economy, there's three things that are true. The first thing is everyone that you thought was smart is dumb. Everyone you thought is dumb is smart now. And this is something that's happened in society over the last six or seven years. But once you see this, you will not unsee it. Historically, in the 2000s, 2010s, every time you saw economists says you were like, that must be fact. Now, when you see economists says you can pretty much discount it, that is completely wrong. And the reason is because the world changed, not the economists changed. And we know that because the economic data is wrong. Their frameworks are wrong. And that's not my opinion. It's just me as a market observer. For example, if I told you interest rates go up and I said to you, economics 101 quiz, what happens to stocks?
