If KZfaq autoplays this one more time I’m gonna lose it

Forbidden Crypto Hacks book isn't just a book it's a roadmap to crypto success that you can't afford to ignore.

The dollar is literally being destroyed / debased / devalued. The best performing asset in the history of the world is BITCOIN. BITCOIN is by far the best store of value. 10 years from now you’ll be thankful for every dollar you put into BITCOIN.

If you are properly prepared and have the necessary knowledge, every crisis/crash/inflation or recession offers equal market opportunities. I've seen people accumulate up to $800,000 during crises and even do so with ease in a terrible economy. No doubt someone has become enormously rich as a result of the crisis.

Being brilliant is one thing. Being brilliant and being able to communicate like Saylor does is such a unique trait.

The "advice for young people" 1. Focus your energy 2. Guard your time 3. Train your mind 4. Train your body 5. Think for yourself 6. Curate your friends 7. Curate your environment 8. Keep your promises 9. Stay cheerful and constructive 10. Upgrade the world

Such a brilliant mind, I really enjoyed getting to learn from this, not only about the history of financial structures but also about our current and ongoing dilemma.

The recent Bitcoin's value marks a significant moment in the cryptocurrency market, indicating not just a temporary spike but the onset of a potentially larger trend. This positive trajectory reflects growing investor confidence and suggests a broader shift toward global cryptocurrency acceptance. The movement presents a prime opportunity for investors, especially day traders, to capitalize on Bitcoin's bullish momentum, highlighting the importance of strategic investment during such pivotal market trends.

Would love to see a part two with Saylor

Lex I love that your willing to ask what words mean that he uses. So many people just pretend to know what he's talking about. Gret job with this interview.

Great video, trading come with a lot of benefits And I have just bought my first house through it. As a beginner I was scared of loosing my savings but I’m glad I took the bold step that is now favoring me. Thanks so much Naomi Tyler

Hallelujah!!!! The daily Jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is goodes LS, after years of addiction to drugs and sins God chased me down as I earn $112,500 monthly. My life and family has changed, Thank you Jesus!!!..

This is probably my only chance to thank you, Michael Saylor, for Saylor's Academy, having free education online available for anyone. There is no way I would have have access to such level of education for I'm a Mexican immigrant illegally residing in this country since 2007, I truly wish I had the knowledge I have now 15 years ago; I'm currently taking ESL and Economics. I'm still learning as you all can probably tell by the way I type. Thanks a lot to you too Lex, for sharing your knowledge and for letting us, simple mortals, pick up the on the brains of all this exceptional human beings. You are making us smatter everyday with every podcast we watch/ listen to.

I think this might just be the best chat I've ever listened to with Mr Saylor. Thank you and thank you Lex.

One of the best interviews yet. Thank you Lex for getting this valuable information put together for the public to access easily & free.

This video enlightened me. What an ULTIMATE discussion and educational 4 hours. I'm very grateful 🙏

I came here for Saylor's take on Bitcoin, and I left with nuggets of wisdom about so many other things. What a wonderful conversation!!!

3:38:59 1. Focus your Energy 2. Guard your Time 3. Train your Mind 4. Train your Body 5. Think for your self 6. Curate your friends 7. Curate your environment 8. Keep your promises 9. Stay cheerful and constructive 10. Upgrade the world

I’ve never been so close to falling asleep yet on the edge of my chair. This was so freaking AMAZING!

long video but worth every minute of it !!!!

"Money is a great Servant, but a bad master"--love that quote. Learned so much Lex. Maybe Bitcoin is more than I thought.

Really great talk. Felt blessed to be sitting at my house watching this interview for free. Keep doing what you’re doing Lex

The Clint Eastwood quote Saylor mentioned, “A man’s got to know his limitations” is from ‘Magnum Force.’ Just my infinitesimal contribution to a brilliant conversation.

It was my first time listening to Michael Saylor... Great Podcast !!

I'm a simple man. When I see Michael Saylor in a podcast, I CLICK PLAY! 💪🔥

Lex you have done a great job interviewing M Saylor. Everytime I hear Saylor I understand, the same things he says, in different ways. Loving the interview.

This is, for sure, the best bitcoin educational material on the internet

Probably the best podcast I've ever listened to.

The market and the Fed consistently underestimate the sticky nature of inflation. The markets are still unsure if the Federal Reserve will continue to its plan to raise interest rates until inflation is under control, despite the fact that bond yields are rising while stock prices are falling. What is the greatest strategy to take advantage of the current bear market while I'm still deciding whether to sell my $401k worth of stocks?

Yessss Michael Saylor. You're killing it Lex!!!

round 2? Loved this.

When you still live and feel like low middle class with 2 million dollars net worth , that makes you understand what Sailor is saying.

Michael Saylor's advice for those entering Adulthood: 1. Focus your Energy 2. Guard your Time 3. Train your Mind 4. Train your Body 5. Think for Yourself 6. Curate your Friends 7. Curate your Environment 8. Keep your Promises 9. Stay Cheerful & Constructive 10. Upgrade the World

This guest is so intensely smart and knowledgeable- Lex always has the most intriguing and brilliant guests, and his ability to be able to intelligently converse with such a broad range of truly brilliant minds is just amazing!! Cannot wait to finish this one!

All I wanted was a nice conversation before bed time. That's all I wanted

His comments about energy absolutely slayed me. I had to relearn physics and mathematics because of this.

I just started listening to Lex Fridman yesterday and I am addicted. He has some of the best questions and he is so neutral. I’m just so impressed. What a great interviewer

Everyone has been preaching "buy now, stocks are at a discount" but I've been buying stocks at a discount since the beginning of the year and yet the cycle continues with more losses, I know the idea is to hold long term but God I could really give anything to see some growth happen to my portfolio.

Facinating interview Lex. Great questions to get the juices flowing for both guest and audience. They allow us to peer into the great minds of our generation and with Social media it will be kept in a digital library for many others to study and be inspired. Something common to all these great minds is that they are all well read. Books, written and audio, as well as conversations such as these expand our minds and intelligence. Practice then reinforces our understanding of what you learned.

Advice for young people: 1. Focus your energy 2. Guard your time 3. Train your mind 4. Train your body 5. Think for yourself 6. Curate your friends 7. Curate your enviroment 8. Keep your promises 9. Stay cheerful and constructive and 10. Upgrade de world.

Michael Saylor is the most inspirational and amazing person I've heard in a long time.

There's some engineers some physicist, etc. But hidden in plain sight, there's some really brilliant ones that manage to digest many concepts without problems. This guy is one of them. This is the kind of guy that was sufficiently open to see what all this was about, make a turn, push hard, then some. Then contribute, changed his whole company, people around it. And accepts to be questioned. Legend!

This is such a great interview. I especially enjoyed the Dematerializing information section. The idea of having the very best educators teaching all the students makes sense and is very doable in this age. I had some awful instructors in college. They were only there because they had research credentials but they were absolutely awful teachers. And some of the texts were awful as well. And it was a highly respected university. I feel like I could have understood so much more with better teachers.

My 3rd time listening to this one. Saylor explains it all like nobody else. This should be required listening for all high school science classes.

With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly-which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfolio

I understand Bitcoin better now, great talk, Michael Saylor is very interesting and someone who seems to have a good view of the future. Thank you Lex.

Michael Saylor keeps my faith in humanity alive.

This is a long podcast but worth listening to every minute.

I finished college and was taught worthless information. This man taught me everything

Just when you think a 4 hour podcast is long enough, I find myself spending even more time going over the more salient points in Mr Saylor's smart, interesting and even wise thoughts. Thanx Lex and Mike. Hope you will have more opportunities in the future. Cheers.

Who doubts this man. Incredible ability to weave history lessons into current technology and how it might shape our future

I would love to see more finance/business interviews like this one. Good job.

For me, this was the most mind and eye opening interview I've ever listened to, and the almost 4hrs was worth every sec. I'll re-listen to it again and again before I sleep, whole or in segments ☺️, thanks lex

These two are torchbearers of Sovereign Individuality, and they are appreciated. Thank you, Gentlemen! You've restored my hope.

Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

you should bring him back on

I studied Economics at Uni, and well, after listening to this. I feel dumb, hahaha. This was so brilliant! I am so glad that this content is available for everyone. So grateful

inflation can be pursued only so long as the public still does not believe it will continue. once the people generally realized that the inflation will be continued on and on and that the value of the monetary until will decline more and more , then the fate of the money is sealed .only the belief , that the inflation will come to a stop , maintain the value of the notes ? however, I believe that this fluctuation a simple part of the journey towards mainstream adoption and eventual stabilization. I think it's more likely for BTC, ETH, XRP to retest the resistance to the upside and then remove lower

I go to sleep so good to this episode each time

This segment is a Master Class!

I'm glad to see an intellectual mind interview Michael Saylor. Nothing against the crypto bros talking about BTC going to the moon...but this guy is brilliant and I'm glad to see someone carry an intelligent conversation with him. And yes, I'm all in on BTC, but for the fundamentals and I believe in it's future, not because all those moon boy crypto channels trying to pump their bags of XRP and shib

Great Episode. Its clearly obvious who actually understands physics with bitcoin versus the other crypto guys you've had on. Those guys are tech savy but do not understand history or economics. Michael Saylor is another level.

This was a great discussion among many good discussions on this channel. I think many people lack an economic perspective on the world, and hope more discussion of these ideas can occur.

Mike was spittin on inflation! He broke down life in that segment

This is such a great conversation! Micheal switches so seemlessly to different topics. Its nice nice to hear him speak about different things than bitcoin. Thanks Lex!

It isn't often I tune in to something for nearly 4 hours straight, but boy was it worth it. So many ideas and proposals. New words, new concepts, it will take me weeks to read around and digest this. Brilliant.

What a cool guy free education for all thank you .

Michael Saylor is just on a total different level of brilliance.

4 Hours with Saylor. This one will go down in history. Lex, you are making the world a better place!

When you invest, you're buying a day you don't have to work

Love your very thought filled and thought provoking interviews!

Incredible conversation. Thank you both.

Seriously brightens my day when you ha e a new interview. I can just put in some earbuds and get to work

4 hour interview and I could listen to another 4. Great interview. I've re-listened 3 times just to soak it all in.

If you have trouble sleeping listen to Michael Saylor

EVERYBODY NEEDS ALITTLE “MICHAEL” sometimes or ALL THE TIME! - happy holidays

Lex, this was the best podcast so far! Will there be part 2 with Saylor? 💪

**Michael Saylor’s 10 Observations** 1. **Focus your energy:** Your energy is limited, and trying to accomplish too many things can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unproductive. Instead, focus on doing one thing well. 2. **Guard your time:** Protect your time from people and activities that don't contribute to your goals. Being mindful of how you spend your time can help you stay on track. 3. **Train your mind:** Practice and develop your skills in areas that matter to you, such as music, math, or engineering. 4. **Train your body:** Take care of your physical health because it's essential for overall well-being. If your body breaks down, it will affect other aspects of your life as well. 5. **Think for yourself:** Don't let others dictate what you believe or how you live your life. Be critical of the narratives and messages that you encounter and make your own decisions. 6. **Curate your friends:** Choose the people you surround yourself with carefully. You don't need many friends, but the ones you have should be positive influences in your life. 7. **Curate your environment:** Create a safe and productive space for yourself, whether it's your home or your workplace. Make sure that your surroundings support your goals and well-being. 8. **Keep your promises:** When you make a promise, keep it. This will help you build trust and credibility with others. 9. **Stay cheerful and constructive:** Negativity can drain your energy and distract you from your goals. Stay positive and focus on constructive ways to address challenges and setbacks. 10. **Upgrade the world:** Use your skills and talents to make the world a better place. Whether it's through your work, your hobbies, or your interactions with others, strive to leave a positive impact on the world around you.

Great podcast, Michael is such an interesting guest! Great questions!

This is an amazing interview.

Thanks for this podcast with Saylor, I wished for it for a long time, keep up the good work Lex and Michael!

You cannot cut your way out of recession you've got to invest your way out of recession, the Conservative party are in the dark ages on policy they've got to think again. My primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about £170k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

Only wisdom and Love matters to life. The positive thinking is the only ways to change all of this.The collective Harmony. The positive and negative energy running all.🤔❤️

Lex Friedman is a goodwill pure and thinking for all society stability. Care for humanity.

The inflation discussion was superb.

Investors have a lot to think about and losses to make up after a dreadful year in 2022. The Federal Reserve is expected to continue raising interest rates even if the economy slows down, which implies that portfolio returns will be negative in the first quarter of 2023 despite an inflation report and a wealth of other data. In this shaky economy, how can I generate money? Yet debatable is my $250k bond and equity portfolio.

The Lex Fridman intro script: "The following is a conversation with Mr. Smarty Smart Smart. He is one of the greatest minds in the entire world. He has PhDs from every university in the world. And he is the smartest smarty pants that pants ever smarted. He enlightened me on thoughts about AI, quantum physics, but mostly the power of love. Mr. Smart has taught me that if we could all just love each other, the universe would blossom like a flower, like a beautiful rose. And now dear friends, a conversation with my greatest friend in all the world, Mr. Smarty Smart Smart."

Great Interview both of you

30 minutes into it and I like this guy's way of explaining things. Great episode!

Dear Lex, I rarely write comments anywhere… However, having found your channel is a true treasure chest for inspiration, motivation amd education. Now, everyone can listen to and learn from the greatest role models and leaders there are on this planet. Your interviews contribute to evening it out between the haves and the have nots, when it comes to having access to people who one can look up to. Thank you.

Thanks for hosting and directing Saylor the way you did. This interview conjures an immense banquet of ideas---thankfully expanding beyond the usual, bitcoingelical, soapbox. Thought can be such a beautiful thing. I thoroughly enjoyed this chat.

Great episode. Enjoyed listening. Thank you Lex.

If Michael Saylor, Jordan B Peterson, and Kermit the Frog were all in the same room having a conversation, I would think someone is just talking to himself.

Saylor is the best economic professor we have...

Agree, never ending. Even when a family moves into a new place, the neighbors next door will act as they have claim over the other’s property. This idea that they were there first and anyone else moving in who is new, must pay homage to them. It’s such a provincial way of thinking. Imagine a neighbor who is in perpetual debt, filed bankruptcy for mismanaging their funds, and then acting as if they own their neighbor’s property? When the neighbor actually has zero debt and owns their property. The audacity of some people, but this is the way it is. Some people feel they can take claim over what you own outright, even if they themselves own nothing.

We need another interview with Michael saylor

A brilliant man who went most of his life relatively unnoticed.

Soooooooooooo pumped you got Michael Saylor on here. I'm sure I was one of many to push for this interview for a while. Totally looking forward to this. If you want to feel good in life / good about crypto, just listen to Michael Saylor.

Anyone else rewatch this once a month to learn something you might have missed?
