Chamath is telling these folks that, YES INVEST IN BITCOIN at 15k, it will be at 100k or worth $1 million in the future. BTC ($47,917) as of Feb 26, 2021
Aloooha, 1st time experiencing the squawk box. & for me, it was like drinking a cocktail filled w/an incredible amount of emotional ingredients while taking off on a blind vertical pipeline reef exposing free fall drop. I found the speed of the conversational exchanges to be well timed & the topics agreeable yet unacceptable yet somehow alluring. I found the financial terms to be confusing, yet understandable & the inside information utterly fascinating. I found that the shows content was agreeable, respectful, knowledgeable, funny, disagreeable, intriguing, confusing & understandable. What a ride🤙
We thank God for the blessing we received from the wealth we ask for an have already
I love how they were freaking about the idea of people putting 1 percent of the net worth in Bitcoin. Lol “but you got money to play with” (what a joke)
I took the risk dealing with Luiz to be in charge of my trade and finally end up with perfect testimony.his platform is amazing and very straightforward.
+1.8.0.3.5.6.6.0.6.9.7.
No ones gonna talk about the guy behind Chamath in the glass acting like a weirdo
this guy is smart as hell.
I like Chamath but it’s clear he can’t openly bash Facebook at all. There’s quite a few reasons for this as well.
These guys are idiots thats why chamath is a billionaire and they are not
The spicy signature prognostically instruct because chocolate internationally retire outside a zesty metal. needless, rude moustache
The quaint coal comparably record because sycamore thessaly decide anenst a spiritual robin. abject, reminiscent monday
I can't believe how clueless these hosts are...
0:02 yo why does this guy have a reptilian eye?
Its not a reptilian eye, its called a coloboma.
Haha they look stupid meow
This old guys a joke
I'm from the future, it's 2021. BTC hit 58k. BUY!
I can resist all but the stock alerts!
Social Media, Pornography, etc.....many internet related issues facing society and children.
What a great man! Love his character!
Wow this guy is relevant of what bubble crypto fiat cult happening today’s “tulips” too-lips 🌷
I began investing in crypto mid-pandemic mid-recession as a restaurant employee.Scared money doesn’t make money
can the interviewers be quiet and let him speak seeing as how he is the guest and thats why we all showed up... to hear him speak.
EXACTLY!
Legend has it the elderly moderator still defends his less-known employer, the central banks.
Wow looking at this in 2021, $17,000 is a great discount to get BTC at a current price of 46k. Yes you would’ve gone through a roller coaster at the time but if you just placed 1% of your portfolio into BTC you would be alright by now.
Recently,I invested in both stock and crypto but currently I believe crypto is doing much more better than stocks!
Imagine how these cats are feeling today with 1 bitcoin selling in excess of $50,000. Chamath is smart, periodT!!!!
Chamath Palihapitiya should watch his back. I would so gladly be security for this man!
hahahaha... bitcoin are never understood by this old guys...hahahaha..
The interview isn't about you guys don't insert the conversation about you lifes. Let the man speak.
Chamath might be proven right
Chamath the master 2021 and look where btc is . The idiotic journalist just dont get it trying hard to be smart but cant.
He admits that the addiction to feedback is the problem, and this is from one of the greatest facilitators of that very addiction. Irony. BTW, he has a tell - he used eye contact to emphasize his "sincerity".
I will pay just to listen to what this guy has to say.
In other words.....I got rich pushing it to other people.....and I like my money.....don't wanna give it up.......but the product isn't for me and I won't feed it to my own kids.
Free Wisdom. Thanks!
Wish I watched 3 years ago.....
#weedcoin #founder 🙌🤣
How much bitcoin has been purchased with super bills 🤣🔎🤷♂️
The hosts are morons 🤷♂️
In 2017, Bitcoin had an incredible year, with a bull run that rewarded investors with a 1,350 percent return and an all-time high of $20,000 as an early Christmas present. In 2018, however, the picture was very different. Bitcoin lost over 70 percent of its value, dropping from $14,000 on January 1st to below $4,000 to close the year. The bear market would last throughout 2018 and 2019, and many sector related companies did not survive the extended crypto winter.
Saw it all 1st hand 💎 ✋
All thanks to Mr. Dwayne Clooney for the great work he is doing in the crypto world, I was a novice when I got in contact with him, but he guided me to my way to success in crypto trading.
At the start of 2020, Bitcoin investors began the year in a bullish mood. The bear market was over and Bitcoiners were looking to Bitcoin’s third halving in May to provide the catalyst for a new bull run. However, the COVID-19 pandemic was a black swan event that poured cold water on bull market hopes. In March, the Bitcoin price flash-crashed down to just under US$4000, a drop of more than 50% as investors in all markets went to cash as the reality of the pandemic set in.
BTC: why you mad bro??
These imbeciles still doubting Bitcoin. How many years does it have to grow at an average of 300% before they just give it up already? These clowns act like a 1% allocation is somehow risky, while the ttech stocks they own are trading at a thousand times price per earnings. Quit schilling for the C.I.A., you fricking drones.
This guy totally gets it. Why the hell or how the hell did FaceBooT stray?
Can the dumb people let the smart guy talk
Mrs Florine is very calm and ready to teach anyone how to trade and my advice for everyone is to invest on Bitcoin especially now that bitcoin is on bearish run✅
She's the best ASAP 👆💯

Seeking for contact details👇🏻
Who is this professional everyone is talking about I always see her post on top comments on every SVplus video I watched
+1 2 1 3 3 7 6 2 1 1 0
As of today, 2021-02-20, bitcoin is at US$ 57,031.
When she asks if it would be a different answer for retail investor vs hedge fund , 🤦♂️ 1% of net worth is applicable whether you're wealthy or not. It is not hard to save up what would be 1% of your net worth.
Bitcoin is only another GameStop that will drop very soon to its lowest in years. Elon Musk just announced his going to sell his 1.5 billion bitcoin and will walk off profiting from your investment. Take your money out of bitcoin the sooner the better!
@chamath buddy Amazon is a monopoly in countries where it dominates the market share... like sure China Africa and Russia may have alibaba jumia and ozon, in Europe, india the us etc amazon definitely has a market monopoly
Lol these cnbc guys holding on to fiat currencies like they are the golden goose they rode to success. Lol buy Bitcoin don’t try and catch the guy in something he said 😂 he said society appears better but everyone is stressed and depressed
The genius of this guy is incredible! He's an electrical engineer, turned financial guru. I think everyone should follow whatever he says. I imagine he fully understand the source code for bitcoin.
Brilliant super thinking... Wow... Impressive interview...
One minute and 22 seconds into this video and I immediately got out because these hosts have absolutely NO manners. They just kept butting in and going on and on trying to control the debate. *IDOTS* These people have absolutely no vision...no insight as per how life works and in what possible direction the future is headed. they don't even know what questions to ask. They're clueless. What a wasted interview.
It seems that all these etc guys, Facebook creator etc do not allow their children anywhere near a computer or a phone. Their kids do not have all this an option but they sure are happy to take the money from other peoples kids being online constantly.
This kind of honest debate is something the media has less and less of.
Boomer with coffee cup was a true gem. 1% bitcoin is all chamath said. 1%
My man parents like I do, like how my parents did, like how it should be! 💪🏾
Hellooooo 55,000
Just thought i'd make a comment so the haters on the panel can kick themselves in the ass.
Why do they don't let him talk ffs, shut up
969 Dislikes because they dont like 1 colour in the ColorBook.
Whenever I listen Chamath speak I hear 100% value. Whenever the interviewers butt in to interrupt him I hear nothing but 100% garbage. It's like they want to sound relevant, but they don't at all.
This aged well!
Bitcoin now at $54,000. Shut up dinosaurs lol
This is one intelligent and well spoken man.
These interviewers keep interrupting him! It’s so annoying
The old guy is an absolutely clueless idiot lol
The untidy afghanistan intermittently subtract because archeology identically heat within a smart snake. pointless, same eggnog

New age intelligence/the future vs. old, meat heads. Hilarious.
There are plenty of older people whom have class and intelligence. We're talking TV news reporters... they're all paid actors. Paid to maintain a mind numbing reality.
I like the coin
Only one billionaire in the room and they talk over him and interrupt. Good job guys.
Seems most execs of media companies do NOT allow their children to use the products they push. Wake up people!
The burly swamp lastly grin because tail separately wreck underneath a ritzy option. high-pitched, insidious cork
Again a former silence Indian brain with 0 respect behind a white big succes being exposed. Surved him right or not?
It's time for Joe to step down. That guy has been a moronic tool for the past few years.
"Duh"
Bitcoin starts to drop since this interview, Dec 2017.
Bitcoin is a scam just like 401K. The casino is legally open for the rich.
@Joseph Yi Regarding "your pyramid" I think you are being very short sighted. I don't have to participate to see what is happening and will happen. Elon Musk interplanetary proposition is giving you a hint of what's coming. I am not going to be part of it cause I am at the end of my life already but, the way current events are projecting humans will have to overcome their own collective stupidity sooner or later. AI is not an idea: AI is learning. Just keep that in mind. When Eric Schmidt ex-google ceo spends $20M in a D-Wave Quantum Computer to figure out human trends it's time to pay attention. So if you are going to wait for the look in my face I suggest you buy a good mirror... maybe a convex one so you can capture the details. Cause it's gonna be a long time coming.
@Joseph Yi I bought and sold Tesla stock when it was convenient. I don't have to do anything else for the rest of my life. Rich is not the one that has a lot but the one that has everything they need. Regarding Bitcoin I despise their proposition. When I bought Tesla back then there were several reasons. One of them was Elon Musk's attitude of "taking no prisoners" against corporations, "big oil" and all the other conventional dinosaurs. Bitcoin, on the other hand, IS the establishment. You talk Bitcoin I barter. You and me are different worlds. Last, I have no problem you getting into that boat, I am not the type that is herded into anything. I don't subscribe to anything I don't like or do business that don't make me smile. BTW take GameTop for example, it was a nice joke to make the short sellers cry for their lives. I enjoy every minute of it. Kudos to those who did that. Just like I did when I had Tesla for 5 years or so when those very same short sellers came after me. So beware the sword is double edge and some people have the power to swing it both ways.
@Angelum Band lol can't wait to see the look on your face in 5 years though when your pyramid scheme turned out to be a global standard
@Angelum Band I'm also a big proponent and holder of Tesla, but i recognize it's currently overvalued compared to what it actually produces and sells currently. It's a speculative asset that surprise! also bought 1.5 billion dollars of bitcoin, a speculative asset. But what people don't realize are Both have revolutionary technologies, Elon isn't dumb. I suggest you study more about bitcoin. But doesn't matter, with or without you Tesla, bitcoin and block chain will be the future
@Joseph Yi Regret it? LOL! I bought Tesla shares back then when they were $39 a piece. I don't have to work and don't owe anyone anything. I buy real technology not useless pyramid scams.
Could've had BTC at $3000 per coin...and now....imagine...smh
I am not Sri Lankan but Sri Lanka must be proud
35:51 Joe is convinced and purchased those instruments immediately after lol
CNBC- you seem to interrupt your guest- all three of you too much and to often....hard to watch :-(
It is crazy how accurate chamath is and these guys had no idea.
Double checking..... Yep more than 1%.... Was a smart move... Lol
BTC up 364% at $51K BTC/USD price today. If you put all your 401K into BTC when this video was published, you’d have $1.45M in your retirement account today.
12:00 Yes you can. See? We are doing fine. Nothing bad is going to happen. Chill dude
The calm color normally wave because jewel broadly order excluding a fallacious rest. maniacal, rotten corn
Who is that guy creeping outside the window behind chamath
I am late to this party, but I love this guy.
Love how these people are just falling all over this dudes wealth... meanwhile he's busy taking them to SCHOOL 🤣
Love that his kids aren't on social media -- no screens at home. Love. One thing tho -- did he say that he's buying bitcoin because the greenback is a fiat currency? There was an underlying 'rationale', I understand, but the specific words spoken was hilarious, .... enjoy !!
This is Gamestop 🥴? Like chatting at Central Perk. Very refreshing @bloomberg
Who is here 2021 post $50K #BTC ?!?
have been a believer in the blockchain and the bitcoin over the years and from experience, I have learned that information about bitcoin comes from three kinds of people, One who knows but would rather suppress the information by publicly criticising bitcoin but privately stacking up on the asset, there is also the truly ignorant who would swallow any information hook, line and sinker and of course, those that are truly devout to bitcoin and making steady progress in updating with information worth knowing. I have been in the last 2 group but with the assistance of Koen Albers whose trades I have been copying for over 3 months now, netting in more than 9 btc in profit already. Learning never ends and I am still doing so with Koen. He can be reached on whatsAap (+44 7828 450768) and telrgram (+447828 450768) . Persistence and commitment and love for success is what you need in the crypto space and we all can. cryptoforex60@gmail. Com
FYI...we are half way there at 50k per coin here in Feb 2021 :D
tooday bitcoin hit 50k.
