$57 TRILLION TRAP: Why The Stock Market CAN'T Crash (Bitcoin to $1M?)

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]The stock market is going to crash big time. Biggest crash in history.

[00:00:05]So, it hasn't happened yet.

[00:00:07]>> The inevitable question is, do you think that we will have a crash or not?

[00:00:16]>> The answer is we will have a crash. I just can't tell you when and I can't tell you how deep.

[00:00:21]>> That was Robert Kiyosaki and Andrew Ross Sorcin, two of the latest talking heads to predict the stock market crash. Like the rest of the doomsayers, they're wrong. The stock market can't crash. It has to go up forever. With AI coming to replace jobs, young people not buying homes or having kids, and nothing on the horizon to stimulate growth in the economy, the system can't afford stocks to crash. But here's the kicker for Gen Z. This doesn't help you because you don't own stocks or homes. The two things that the system's propped up on currently. And news flash, with inflation on the horizon, it only gets worse from here. Bitcoin is a life raft.

[00:00:57]Bitcoin is the only realistic way for Gen Z to try to build wealth. You need to pay attention before it's too late.

[00:01:03]And if you're skeptical, I break down why it gets harder from here if you don't own assets. Assets like Bitcoin.

[00:01:10]This is Dante Cook Bitcoin simply. Let's go.

[00:01:17]>> There are some economists who suggest that because Mr. Trump ties his success >> to the success of the market. That he's not going to let anything like what happened in 1929 happen and that we should feel secure because of that.

[00:01:33]>> I think it's hard to know how things get out of control. When confidence disappears, it happens like this.

[00:01:41]>> So, you spent nearly 10 years on this book. The inevitable question is, do you think that we will have a crash or not?

[00:01:54]>> The answer is we will have a crash. I just can't tell you when and I can't tell you how deep, but I can assure you, unfortunately, I wish I wasn't saying this, we will have a crash.

[00:02:05]>> Hot garbage. We'll have a crash. Can't tell you when. Can't tell you how big it'll be, but it'll happen. He's dead wrong, and his thinking is stuck in the past. A stock market crash cannot happen in our current financial system. Let me give you a breakdown of how the world has changed and why 1929 isn't realistic. Point number one, the Knicks are going to the finals for the first time since 99. The last time the Knicks were in the finals, gas costs a $111 a gallon. A dozen eggs 95. The median home price $158,000.

[00:02:36]The Dow Jones under 11,000. The euro was just 5 months old. It shows you how much the world can change in 25 years. And right now, we're going through a massive change in the financial system and the way that the world works with so much debt and people have their heads stuck in the sand. The realities for our parents aren't the same for Gen Z and younger. It's bleak. And firsttime home buyers at a historic low. 20% of all home buyers. Before the '08 collapse, it was about 40%. What the hell is going on?

[00:03:09]Well, I think this is why young people are so mad today. You know, I think there used to be starter homes, not these five, you know, bedrooms, five baths that exist in all, you know, communities around the US. We used to have homes that were onethird to half the price of what a starter home is now in the US with the average uh the average price of a home being $400,000.

[00:03:30]And then, you know, simultaneously, young people today, their wages haven't increased. So, you know, in the 1940s, 90% of young people, they earned more than their parents by age 30. Today, less than 40% of young people earn more than their parents did at the same age.

[00:03:48]And so, I think young people aren't just quiet quitting. You know, they're not just logging off and doing Tik Toks.

[00:03:54]They are really looking at the numbers and saying, "Why don't we have starter homes? Why aren't we earning more money?" and student loans. Not only are your homes more expensive, we've got this massive debt on top of us that we can never get rid of. And oh, by the way, we were told that if we went to school, we got good grades, we got good jobs, we would have the American dream. And that does not appear to be happening. You're right.

[00:04:16]>> The American dream is broken, dead, and gone, replaced by debt and servitude to a financial system that doesn't reward people who don't own assets. The dream was sold to our parents in the form of cheap homes and cheap stocks. The stock market is making asset owners richer than ever. The value of equities held by US households is $58 trillion, which is more than the total value of real estate by $9.8 trillion in America right now.

[00:04:41]The widest gap in history. Equities account for a total of 33% of total assets and a record 47% of total financial assets. The S&P 7500, the Dow 50,000. The market that we're in is completely ridiculous. And if it were actually fairly valued off of real value, real earnings, well, it would have already crashed a long time ago.

[00:05:02]Stock market concentration is at its highest level ever. Stocks have rarely been this expensive. With 145 years of data, the Case Schiller index to the S&P 500 ratio is now 40.8, which means investors are paying $40.80 for every $1 in earnings. Something's not adding up.

[00:05:19]And look at this. Nvidia, just one company, is now larger than seven of the 11 sectors in the S&P 500. All utilities, all real estate, and all materials combined. It's larger than the German economy, and it accounts for 20% of the S&P 500 gains. But here's the crazy part. With all of these records and all of this growth happening, well, consumer sentiment is at its lowest.

[00:05:43]That's because there's a difference between Main Street and Wall Street.

[00:05:47]people who own assets, mainly people who are older and our parents and those who don't, the ones struggling to stay afloat right now. When someone says the market is crashing, it can. And let me show you why in one chart. There's this thing happening right now. And it might be due to technology. It might be due to unaffordable home prices. But right now, the US birth rate is declining and declining rapidly, meaning people aren't having kids. And we also have this thing happening right now, AI replacing entry-level jobs. And with the market and the value of homes being so high and the next class not owning them, you cannot afford for the market to crash.

[00:06:23]And so young people, they're having to compensate for all of these challenges by going further and further out on the risk curve and taking more risk. Take a look at this chart right here. 62% of investors under 35 say that they have to take excessive risk in order to reach their financial goals. 43% of investors under 35 trade options. More than four times the 10% of over 55 investors trading options. Almost 30% of investors under 35 have purchased meme stocks in crypto assets. While it's just 2% of people over 55. Young people think they need to invest in scams or altcoins in order to get ahead. But news flash, I'm here to tell you there's only one asset built for this time. A financially stable asset that's being adopted by the traditional financial system, but it's also digital. It's also native. It's also cyberpunk. It's also outside of the current system. The people saying don't invest in crypto are former crypto shillers. Well, my next guest shook up the crypto world recently when he said that most of the crypto industry is dead and they're never coming back. I'm going to bring in professional capital management founder and CEO Anthony Pompiano. My man, when you said that it was like a shot across the bow, maybe a shot into the bow. What exactly you talking about?

[00:07:35]>> Well, think about uh sports, right? you kind of play middle school sports and high school sports and then a very small percentage of people they get to go to college and play sports and then eventually there's even a smaller percent they get to go play professional sports. Same thing's happening in the crypto world. If you're good enough, you're going to get adopted into the traditional financial system. So I think Bitcoin, stable coins, equity, infrastructure, and tokenization that's going to graduate to the professional leagues. Everything else you going to get left in high school, man. It's just it's just not going to make it.

[00:08:01]>> I mean, in a way that's kind of good, right? Because it feels like I mean it there was one point where there was new stuff popping up every like every morning you wake up and there's 20 30 50 different things and people didn't know what to do. They were throwing their money at everything. It might be better for the at the end of the day for investors. No.

[00:08:17]>> Well, you want competition and we've had a lot of competition but the free market ultimately is going to determine the winners. The beauty of this industry is that the market is the referee. The market's going to determine what's valuable. Now what you have is you have very sophisticated large pools of capital coming from the traditional world and they're saying okay here's all these things that we could invest in.

[00:08:33]What are the things that we think are large, scalable, resilient and asymmetric and I think those four things that I described that's where their capital is going and so that's why I say the crypto industry is dying but this isn't new. go back to the 90s, we talk about internet entrepreneurs, internet companies, right? Now, we just call them entrepreneurs and companies. And so, the idea of crypto is still going to be alive. But the word crypto in 5 years, we're not going to use that word anymore. And it's just going to be it's Bitcoin just like gold, oil, and anything else. And if you got a crypto coin, >> it's going to go to the wayside because if you can't make it in the traditional financial system, you ain't going to be able to make it.

[00:09:07]>> And he's not the only crypto guy saying everything else in crypto is crap. This is also coming from Arthur Hayes.

[00:09:13]>> Sure. And I guess liquidity will not flow everywhere. I mean, the good thing about Bitcoin is that if there are more units of fiat tomorrow than today, it will go up in price mathematically. Just that's pure math. But like everything else is very narrative driven. The only things that are really doing well if you think about like sort of ma global capital markets is AI stocks period and incentives, right? Everything else is pretty much >> Everything else is cooked. Buy Bitcoin and never sell it. Look at Bitcoin's track record. When you look at the amount of time that you hold Bitcoin, well, the returns have been pretty good.

[00:09:47]The compounded annual growth rate versus the S&P 500 and gold far outpac them. So Stanley Jucker Miller says, "You don't get rich by investing in diversifying into 50 mediocre assets. You invest in two to three with asymmetric return opportunity. You can be like the Mavs and try to sell your stars or you can keep them and ride them and never let go of them. That's what we preach every single week and that's why we partner with Letin the leader in Bitcoin back loans.

You don't have to go at it alone. Work with a coach at the Bitcoin way.

[00:11:09]All of the stuff that I'm telling you isn't a new thing. Bitcoiners have been saying this for a long time.

[00:11:15]>> Yeah. Well, um I think the overarching dynamic is that that the currency supply measured in dollars is continuing to expand, probably expanding 7% a year.

[00:11:26]It's been expanding about 7% a year for 100 years. And uh that currency printing goes to finance wars, foreign wars, trade wars, social programs, government deficits, any kind of political program.

[00:11:42]And I I don't think that's new. It's been going on for thousands and thousands of years. Um the last two years been no different.

[00:11:51]>> And would you say therefore it is those people who don't own assets are paying for government expansion without even realizing it?

[00:11:59]Uh I think everybody pays for government in their own way. Uh it's true that that people that don't own assets are suffering from that monetary debasement without realizing it for the most part.

[00:12:14]Um government's expensive, right? It's it's always very expensive whenever you have uh political ambitions and it's got to be paid for either with taxes or with inflation or with some kind of confiscation or regulation of some sort that impairs somebody's property rights.

[00:12:34]>> There hasn't been a big crash, but somehow you feel poor. Somehow life feels harder. And this is the explanation. You have less purchasing power. You have less confidence in your future. And because the money printer continues to run, assets cannot crash.

[00:12:48]we would have no tax base. We would have no assets for estates to get taxed when older generations die off. It's simply untenable. They must continue to inflate assets. But the problem is these assets are so expensive that it's hard for you to afford them and to accumulate them in any meaningful way. You need to understand why you need to start thinking in Bitcoin terms. You can't actually see the problem unless you reframe it.

[00:13:12]>> The house is being used protecting debasing of money, right? And so the house value versus the money has gone way up and the families can't live in the houses anymore. It's it's owned by and and so the the the entire system degrades by the same money, right? And it's breaking down faster and faster and people are taking all this leverage to try to live in a house because they think that's their only way out to escape the financial nightmare that they're in for their money losing value.

[00:13:42]So they're essentially storing their their purchasing power in a house because it can't be stolen as fast as as money, right? And and then and then they don't realize that then the taxes are going to go way up on the house, right?

[00:13:57]And they don't actually own their house.

[00:13:58]They're paying a huge mortgage to be able to have the privilege to rent a house from the government.

[00:14:03]>> Yeah. It's more of a trap than anything >> and it becomes a trap and they go into that. So this so so then the foundation of society starts to break down. you need two incomes to be able to afford the house. Kids can't uh kids don't have one of the parents at home. Things start to change all AC across this and it gets worse and uh um uh worse and worse from the from the alternative system from Bitcoin. It's repricing the house, right? So my house was 6 years ago 300 Bitcoin. Now it's 15 Bitcoin. Five, four years from now it'll be one Bitcoin.

[00:14:38]Right? It's it's it's it's the house was never going up. It was going up according to infinite mon monetary units.

[00:14:48]>> Mhm.

[00:14:50]>> Fixed monetary units that's going down.

[00:14:52]>> Fix the monetary unit. Watch your wealth increase. The best fixed monetary unit for Gen Z and younger is Bitcoin. And hopefully you wake up to that reality before it's too late.
