$BTC I said, ‘It’s 85% real estate, 15%, bitcoin,’” Cardone explained. “By year four though Mike, I’m at 70:30.” Cardone went on to describe how he would end up with an asset mix of 50% real estate and 50% bitcoin around the fifth year of his strategy, which would likely include going public, but Saylor scoffed at him for being too cautious

It’s just like the gold rush right now,” Cardone told Bitcoin.com in an interview. “Any time I feel all this rush moving in, the hair on the back of my neck goes up.”
Gary Cardone, Grant’s identical twin and a known bitcoin advocate, had arranged the initial meeting with Saylor in January 2025. Afterwards, the Cardones wasted no time and hashed out a plan to immediately jump onto the bitcoin treasury bandwagon, but Grant didn’t want to throw all caution to the wind. “I’m a very conservative investor,” Cardone explained.

Cardone knew that firms were stampeding to raise capital for bitcoin ( BTC) purchases, in a scenario he described as a twenty-first century “gold rush,” so his plan was ambitious but also carefully hedged with real estate, Cardone’s area of expertise.

Massie, economists, and analysts worldwide supporting this view assert that the central bank’s manipulation of interest rates distorts economic signals, fosters inflation, and centralizes financial power at the expense of the public. From a hard-money perspective, the Fed’s monetization of debt and rate targeting enable systemic moral hazard and erode the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.

#USNationalDebt While Trump’s rhetoric targeted Powell personally, Rep. Thomas Massie took a broader institutional view, arguing the Fed has effectively lost its independence due to unchecked congressional spending. “Dose of reality: Congress is spending, printing, and borrowing so much that the Fed has lost its ability to ‘set rates,’” Massie wrote on X.

Earlier this week, before Trump fired off his latest comments, the U.S. Federal Reserve opted to keep interest rates right where they are. Despite three rate cuts in late 2024, the Fed’s federal funds rate has held steady between 4.25% and 4.50% since December 2024, placing the United States 35th globally in central bank rate rankings.

#MyTradingStyle Trump hasn’t held back on the insults, recently labeling the Fed chair a “Numbskull” and often tagging Powell with the nickname “Too Late.” “I’ve been so nice to him fellas,” Trump told the group of workers standing behind him during the Fox interview. “Let’s have dinner ‘Too Late,’ Trump remarked. “Come on, ‘Too Late,’ let’s have dinner.
