So, uh, I can’t say anything no more. What I’m trying to say is just stay focused, you know what I’m saying? And then believe yourself, you know. So, uh, absolutely, for me, you know, I’m going through a lot, you know what I’m saying? Probably people are living in America, we are all going through shit. You know, so this is a good day as a Saturday, and you have good time and meet me. Thank you so much. You have good time.
1:52BSo you say you do content?
1:53AWhat kind of content? You know, when I say I do content, it means that actually, you know, I do content is don’t mean like I post along that people. I post myself, you know. I make my video and I post myself, and You know, I do a lot of things more. You know what I’m saying? Something can be better and you can post just and you can post nothing just like that, right? So I can be post another people where I don’t know what I’m gonna keep them over. You know what I’m saying? So I feel like let me keep myself first.
2:27BYou do that, yeah.
2:28AYou know, I can keep myself first on the platform. You know what I’m saying?
2:34BMake sure people know me before.
2:34AIf I wanna, you know, make the content be more, you know, uh, more people close to me, so it’s gonna be my choice. But right now it’s just me and, uh, I put myself online right now, little by little bit.
2:47BOkay. And you’re a student here? Yeah. How -- what year are you?
2:50AOh, actually, you know what I’m saying, I like what you asked that, you know what I’m saying. I’m not a student here, but I look like a student, right? Yeah, because I’m do better, right? So it’s all -- I’m not a student, I’m hustler. Okay, so when I’m say hustler, it mean like, uh, people are know, you know what I’m saying? So they know when I’m say hustler, everybody know what hustler mean, you know? Yeah, so I’m hustler.
3:13BAnd so you mentioned, right, you know about Asake, you able to see him and stuff when you’re in Nigeria. Just talk about how you’ve seen Nigerian culture evolve. A lot of my community, I spent some time in Nigeria, and I’m curious to hear, you know, from somebody who lived there, got to grow up a little bit there, how do you see Right. Nigerian art, music, right? People are loving it right now. People are buying it. They had Afro Plus right here a couple weeks ago. Yeah, they had Afro Nation.
3:36AYeah, like, uh, Berlin --
3:39Bnot Berlin, I can’t think of what it is right now -- Portugal a couple months ago as well. I’m curious, how do you see about the evolution of African culture penetrating the Western Hemisphere?
3:47AOkay, does that make sense? Um, I don’t know, but for me, what I can say is, uh, Everything have your own vibe, you know what I’m saying? Like America have your own vibe. A lot of country, they have their own vibe, you know, like the, the feeling, the vibe, the way they have, you know, they enjoy, you know, like in Nigeria now, like, like me, okay, let me say I’m from Africa, right? So let me put example, like if I go back home, if I listen to the music where it’s a back home music, right? So I must feel better. So because I understand what they say, so everybody have a different vibe and a different understanding for different music, you know. And I can be, I can be from back in Africa and at the same time I can listen to American music. It’s all be my choice, you know what I’m saying. So it’s all everywhere go for me, you know, everywhere go all the musician, you know what I’m saying? Like, because I fuck with America for a long time before I even came, because I love a lot of music from America, you know what I’m saying? Yeah, yeah, that’s what I’m saying.
4:58BI feel like more people in America are starting to appreciate music from Nigeria, right? But music from across Africa in general, right?
5:04AYeah, actually, you know, America have your own vibe, you know what I’m saying? So the reason me I fuck with America music is because that Black people, you know what I’m saying? When I say Black people, you already know, like, those people are singing that they are Black people. They are, they are the one who make the music on top in America. If not that, nobody know no white and singing, none of that, because we not hear Bushy, you know what I’m saying?
5:30BOf course.
5:30ASo they have their own vibe. Let me keep it that side and go back to the, uh, Africa, like in Nigeria. We all have a different vibe, you know what I’m saying? So Angola, the reason America girl or boy, whatever, you know They fuck with Nigeria music sometimes because they’re feeling the vibe. They understand what they say, right? So even some of them come from different countries, maybe Nigeria, Senegal, Burkina, whatever, you know what I’m saying?
6:00BThey are here. You like Traoré?
6:02AWhat?
6:02BYou like Traoré?
6:04AWhat’s Traoré? I’m sorry for that.
6:05BBurkina Faso?
6:06ANah, I’m not being for that. I just call the country like it’s a lot of people in America.
6:11BYou know what I’m talking about?
6:13AAnd that’s a story of president or like government. That story, I ain’t gonna go that because we not talk about that.
6:20BWhy digress?
6:23ASo, uh, I’m talking about what, what you just asked me. Why? So to the music, uh, part, like for me, you know, yeah, a lot of people make America feel better. So those people, they are all Black people, you know what I’m saying? If not like that, America shit. Nothing. Why? It’s like a shit, Angola. And then little bit the money where they pull any from, value of dollar, Angola, even America, or maybe Nigeria, you know, uh, where you see rich people from Nigeria, black country, came to America. Maybe they come, maybe they are already here long time before, you know, before be rich, or maybe whatever, you know. So That’s for me, you know. Yeah, I fuck with all the musicians, like American musicians, or where I’m from back home. So all the music when I listen is good for me.
7:14BIt’s fine. Who’s your favorite?
7:15AMy favorite music? I ain’t gonna lie, I don’t get no favorite music, but anything when I play, when I shout music out, you know, you got taste, right?
7:23BSo shout out some good music for people to be like, oh, I should go listen to that. What’s a good vibe? They want to catch a vibe, you know.
7:27AYou know, I like Gucci Mane.
7:29BOkay.
7:30AYou know, I ain’t talk I fuck with the real people, you know what I’m saying? I like real people music.
7:35BWhat’s a Gucci Mane song? Hit them with a Gucci Mane song.
7:38AI can’t, you know. Yo, um, you know, I say A Lot of Breeze or something like that. I’m gonna talk too much about Gucci Mane music, but when I say Gucci Mane, shout out to Gucci Mane because they’re real, you know. You gotta listen to the tracks, you know what I’m saying? Get a lot of motivation, a lot of experience, you know what I’m saying? And know what’s up and in the street, you know what I’m saying? The reason I call Gucci Man, you know what I’m saying, uh, is just for me, for my heart, you know what I’m saying? I love Gucci Man, you know what I’m saying, because, uh, he’s a real man.
8:17AGucci Man, shout out to Rosé too, you know what I’m saying? Um, and a shout out to, you know, I’m not artist, you know what I’m saying? I’m not artist, but you know, at the same time, you know, uh, those people when I’m calling like this is a lot of people. Even Kodabrak, you have your own vibe, you know what I’m saying? All the musicians like America, you know, yeah, they all have their own vibe. And those people when I call like a Gucci Mane, Rosé, and, um, Kodabrak and, uh, Nino Breeze, yeah, I fuck with Nino Breeze, you know what I’m saying? Yeah, he got the energy too.
8:57AAnd, uh, who I can call more, um, uh, you know, you’re all good, man, you know. So, you know, so a lot of musicians, you know, I fuck with them, you know.
9:08BMy next question is, right, you’ve been in West Africa, you’ve been here in the US, I don’t know where else you’ve been, um, but I assume you’ve been able to then navigate different, different economies with different currencies. And so how do you understand, think about the value of the dollar as someone who’s not from the US?
9:23AYou know, I ain’t fuck with none of that. You know, all I know is, uh, stay on my own line, you know what I’m saying? And then look at the vibe that they show, you know, because they are showing vibe. You know what’s me vibe? Like, where you now from, you not from the country, why you just came to define yourself? Like I say, like, I came for Nigeria or Benin, you know what I’m saying, to find myself, right? So I gotta step down a little bit. Don’t settle down and then watch what’s going on, you know what I’m saying? And then learn from them, like understand what’s going on before you understand how you’re gonna move yourself for a lot of situation. Doesn’t have, you know, because I move myself by myself, you know what I’m saying? I stay my own line because I don’t want no problem, you know what I’m saying? Because you, when you know what’s going on, you must know how you’re gonna move.
10:12BMm-hmm.
10:13Afor the street, you know what I’m saying? Because America, they don’t give a fuck. So when you know what’s going on, stay your own line and know where you’re gonna move and stay. Make sure you’ll be safe. So to you to be safe, you gotta stay back up for a lot of problem, a lot of situation, because a lot of shit going on, you know. You don’t know where your enemy, they are finding you all the time. So you better watch your back. So I ain’t got nobody gonna watch my back.
10:37BYeah, yeah.
10:37ABut I prefer You know, put everything on God. So that’s all.
10:41BYeah. Do you have a church here?
10:43AChurch? No, I ain’t go no church. I believe myself, you know what I’m saying? I ain’t, I ain’t, I ain’t go no fucking church. I ain’t go no church, you know what I’m saying?
10:51BIt’s all good. You could curse.
10:52AIf I want to go church, make sure I know what’s going on. Make sure they put me on it in terms of community, right?
10:57BLike, do you have a community here? That was more of my question.
11:00AOh no, uh, more community, what you talking about? I ain’t have no community like, uh If I know anybody for community, yeah, here in DC. Nah, I see people, you know what I’m saying? I know, no, I know them before I’m gonna say I know. Like you, why not? Even I see you tomorrow, I can’t say I know you. Yeah, we have hung out because I don’t know nothing from you that I can say if somebody asks me or whatever. Yeah, you know, I know more than you, you know what I’m saying? I know you and inside you, right? I don’t know inside you, I just see you. You know what I’m saying? So I see people and I don’t know who they are, you know what I’m saying? Them too, they see me movie, they don’t know who I am, you know what I’m saying? So that’s -- yeah, I don’t know anybody. I just move by myself, you know, because too much friend, too much problem, you know.

So I must feel comfortable before, uh, focus on the crypto, you know, because I can put the 2 fingers in the same nose, you know what I’m saying? It can’t, you know, for one nose like this, it can’t go, right? So it must be one. So I gotta stand up first, feel better, and, uh, you know, so I can focus online, right?

Some of them, they even -- if he’s not like, uh, they have one heart, you know what I’m saying, or maybe like, uh, they are strong little bit, you know what I’m saying, they can’t face me and they pass like that.

25:22AYeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
25:23BBut like it’s the White House.
25:24ABut the same thing, you know, I can call White House like a palace.
25:27BWe don’t go there.
25:28AYeah, because, because, uh, they fuck with the Black people.
25:32BThat’s all.
25:33AThey’re all white and they go there.
25:34BSo yeah, but it’s just people who work there who go there.
25:36AI’m not gonna talk about that.
25:38BNo, that’s not my business. We digress, right?
25:40AYou know what I’m saying?
25:41BI’m just saying people don’t think about that as like a Community space, you know. So when you say the powers of the community space, it means something different.
25:47AI ain’t gonna talk about white bitches people, you know what I’m saying?
25:51BDon’t worry, we digress.
25:52ADigress means we talk about talk. Ask me something better and I’m gonna respond you. So, but you know, those people, then, uh, you know what I’m saying? I ain’t gonna lie, if I want to talk about these people, I’m gonna talk something. I’m not sure if they listen to the video, you know what I’m saying?
26:09BThey probably Not like it.
26:11AThey can live a life.
26:12BSo, so, um, what tribe in Nigeria do you know the most about?
26:18AMost tribe of Nigeria? Like most -- like, ask me one more.
26:24BWhich tribe in Nigeria do you know the most about? Like Edo, like the Tiv, you got -- like you mentioned, uh, Yoruba, uh, Hausa.
26:35AYou know, let me give you an example, you know what I’m saying? For me to be say all the people, you see, like America, right? Yeah, we have a different country, uh, different people. Sorry, different people living in America, but they have different language. That’s in Nigeria, but they put one language on the top, that’s the English we speak, right? So now, as in Nigeria, we speak English and Pidgin. Yeah, so the same time they have a different language But they speak English, you know what I’m saying? So yeah, like something like that. So I can see how many language in Nigeria, you know what I’m saying? I don’t know.
27:15BSo are you from a particular tribe? Like, is your family from a tribe in Benin that I like that we don’t know?
27:20AUh, probably I’m from Benin, right? I’m not from Nigeria, I’m from Benin. I stay in Nigeria by myself. So when I speak English or whatever, you know, none of them my family speak English.
27:34BYou went to boarding school in Nigeria?
27:36ASir?
27:37BDid you go to boarding school in Nigeria?
27:39ABoarding school?
27:40BIt’s like where you sleep there?
27:42AOf Nigeria? Nah, you see, that’s all. Okay, let me put you on it. Let me put you for what you trying to know right now. I’m not go school for English. I learn by myself. Just a street, you know what I’m saying? Any street. So when I say the street is your next school, forget about we go school, you’re still gonna learn from the streets because the street is your next school. Whatever you be in a school, you know what I’m saying, and you now learn from the streets, you’re still gonna have problem for street, you feel what I’m saying? Like me, I’ll be right here, I can’t have problem from no street.
28:25AIt’s not now I’m start, you know what I’m saying? So I know where they talk about street, you know what I’m saying? Uh, so, but I involved a lot of shit because I know a lot of shit and I feel I can’t put myself in that position that I can be safe tomorrow. So I move on and clean my hand and stay one, you know what I’m saying, one point and make sure I stick Focus and then make sure I live better, you know what I’m saying? So it’s not nothing in the street and somebody gonna show me, uh, that I’ve never been to, right?
29:00ASo I feel like it’s God show me, open my eye, you know, before come clean my, my memory, you know what I’m saying? So yeah, that’s how I’m just watch people, you know what I’m saying? You know what I’m saying? I just watch. We do Nothing is there, you know what I’m saying? Make money and feel better. That’s all we want.

You know, my people in Nigeria and Benin, whatever the country where you from, you know what I’m saying? You know, before you’re going to come America, make sure you know yourself. Before you came America, don’t think like it’s Africa or think like you sit down somebody gonna give you money to get food. Imagine you broke and you think like you’re gonna stand somewhere they can give you money for eat. Nobody. So make sure you come to America, make sure you know yourself, and make sure you have somebody in the back home who gonna help you where you broke.
30:08AEven something gonna sing for you as a food, you know. I can’t lie, you know. I say even to shine is not easy for America. Forget, uh, like Africa, you know. You can see your friend can cap you for one house, you know. You can be stay there a little bit, you know. If where everything is better for you, you can move on. America is not like that. Nobody gonna help you and stay with me. If not, they go play bitches game with you. The life where we never play before, the life where you never see before. In fact, what you never see before, they will show you for this country.
30:47AYou see me for this video, I’m talking, I can’t say everything, but what I’m being through, you know what I’m saying, is God know everything, you know what I’m saying. Because I can say for you people to believe But people are from the country where I’m from now, as America, they know what is going on. And even people are back home as Africa, they know what happening because them, some of them are traveling, they know what America being. But those people who never travel to America can never know what I’m speaking now. So those people who don’t ever travel before, make sure you people ask question for who travel before, or make sure you are learning for this video.
31:32AUnderstand America before you came. Prepare. When I say prepare, just prepare to not see different lifestyle where you don’t want to see. Because all my IBC, I can talk everything, you know what I’m saying? All my IBC, I can talk everything. So when you listen to this video, you know what I’m saying, make sure you understand from this video. Prepare yourself. When I say prepare yourself, you know what I’m saying? If you don’t have nobody for this country, prepare yourself. Even me, where they talk for this interview, I have people for this country, but I don’t look like who have a person for this country.
32:11AHow I tell they eat is myself. I’m shine is myself. But the same time, I have the people here. Not too much, you know, like people one or two, like my family, right? But it’s like I don’t have nobody. So what it means like even you way from Africa or whatever, to you to came America, or you have a family here, or your family member, don’t put yourself on top of them. Like I have a people, whatever I’m going through, they’re gonna support me now. Support yourself.
32:48BI be right here.
32:48AI be support myself. You know what I’m saying? I going through a lot of shit, but everything when I’m going through is on me, you know what I’m saying, to support myself. So you people are watching the video, make sure y’all stay safe and know yourself before you came to this Donald Trump country, because then give it fuck. Make sure you know it’s not Nigeria, it’s not Benin, it’s not Côte d’Ivoire, it’s not Cameroon, it’s not Guinea, it’s is not Burkina, is America. When I say white, we Africa, we play black. Everything we are doing is black, while here is white. So when I say white, just understand that anything where you want to see for this country is a white sheet. So for you, if you know yourself that you’ll be black, keep it stay black and then stay strong to now see what you You are never going to see -- like, make sure you stay strong.

33:55AIn French, you know.
33:56BOr Pidgin, you know. But you know, people who speak English don’t have to know what you’re saying.
34:00AYeah, they don’t have to understand, you know what I’m saying? They can make tradition, you know what I’m saying? When you listen to the video, you listen for what I’m saying and all whatever. You don’t understand what I’m saying, you speak French. You don’t speak English, you don’t understand whatever I’m talking right now, uh, make sure you call someone who understand the English so to speak to you whatever I’m saying in this video.

37:18BMy last question is if you could ask people around the world one question, what would you ask them?
37:22AAsk people around the world.
37:24BIf you could ask anybody anywhere around the world, like you popped up here, right? You popped up in France, you popped up in Belgium, you popped up in Japan, Tokyo tomorrow. You’re like, you know, I got one question for all these people around the world.
37:35AI ain’t got no question for nobody.
37:37BIt could be a silly question.
37:39AI ain’t got no question for nobody. And, uh, you know what I’m saying? I ain’t got no fucking question for nobody.
37:48BWhat’s something you want to know?
37:50ASomething I want to know is, uh, if I talk now, you know what I’m saying, it’s gonna be something I’m not gonna talk about. Something I’m gonna know is, uh, how I’m gonna make more money.
38:05BOkay.
38:05AYou know what I’m saying? What’s the plan? What’s going on to the world? You know what I’m saying? A lot of people are hungry, you know what I’m saying? A lot of people, they are hungry. When I say they are hungry, it’s not just like food. They are hungry for spiritual, for physically. When I say forget about physically, they are hungry. People are hungry. Forget about America, even Black home, even Africa, Nigeria, Benin, where I’m from. I’m from Benin, you know, I’m from Benin Republic. So when I say many people, they are hungry. Angola, they are very, very, very hungry. You know, say even America here, many people they are hungry.
38:44ASo make sure the government. I’m not from government, none of that. You know, say I’m not politician. I’m not none of that. But what I’m trying to say is those people who are hungry, who need the help, make sure you help. You know, saying because the money where you are going to help doesn’t cost nothing. You know, saying people are there and they live billion. You know, saying but the life where we living enjoy more. That’s all we need. More life and more enjoyment. You know, saying so make sure you help. People need the help, you know what I’m saying? People are hungry, even me too, you know what I’m saying?
39:15AI’m hungry just like this. So make sure I keep my pain, you know, keep my vibe, you know what I’m saying? That’s it, you know. I ain’t got too much to say, you know what I’m saying? Yeah, but make sure y’all know people are hungry. Yeah, people are hungry for US and then the whole world. People are hungry. People who don’t know what’s going on, they are hungry. You know what I’m saying? Yeah, people are hungry. So for me, anything where I need in my life is a peace, you feel what I’m saying? Because when you bring fight come, I’m ready, you know what I’m saying?
39:50AForget about we shoot gun, no, no, no, no, because people are shooting gun in the US, you know what I’m saying? Then give it for -- that’s how I play with people like that, you understand? That’s how I know my own line, you know what I’m saying? Before you’re gonna think like Because they take gun like a, like a shigum, you know what I’m saying? Like a game, you know what I’m saying, that we play online, right? So make sure you not put your gun life and come close to me. You see my city, see my face. Anybody are watching the video, don’t play gun game.
40:21ACome to me, you know what I’m saying? I’ll be in America, but don’t ever see me play gun game. You know what I’m saying? So 2, I’m here to survive. I know nobody. What I know, I know the money. I’m trying to know the money. I’m trying to know more, more money, you know what I’m saying? And no right people, no good people and the right people. I’m not say white, right, you know, right people like good people, you know what I’m saying? Talk about money, talk about what’s going on. That’s people I want in my life, and then more light and more, you know, more living, you know what I’m saying?
41:00AThat’s how I want in my life. So that’s why I don’t put nobody in the US, you know what I’m saying? I don’t want nobody problem. But when you bring the problem come, you know, I’m all ready because, you know, we came this life and then one day we’re gonna leave, you know what I’m saying? So who gonna make me get more problem Into gonna have a more problem, you know what I’m saying? Even you don’t know, you know, uh, I’m not sure you’re gonna live in the same next day. So that’s how I ain’t got too much thing to say.
41:32BOkay, so let me tell you about crypto. You can pick up your coffee. Let me hand this to you. You say you want to know about money, right? So crypto is money, right? So that’s why I’m -- that’s why I’m doing these interviews, to educate people. And so I’m gonna tell you, you know inflation. I don’t have to tell you about inflation, abi? And so, right, in America, we don’t really know inflation. You notice that? You know, people here might be hungry, right? But the number of people here hungry is not as many people, right, as in Nigeria. There’s no question. Just -- I’m just telling you, right? Because here we’re very privileged countries, particularly because we have the US dollar, right?
42:01AWhat I’m saying, hungry is not like food.
42:04BNo, no, I heard you, I heard you. But I’m speaking about real hunger. I’m speaking about like the physical, like I need to eat something, I’m getting tired, you know. I’m fasting, but it’s not by choice, huh? And so I’m saying right here in America, we really don’t know that hunger at scale, right? Not, not, not right now because we have the US dollar, right? Because our economy is one of the best economies in the world, people say, right? You know, but a lot of that, a lot of that is also built on the fact that people have confidence in the US dollar. But if people stop saying, oh, I believe the US dollar is better than the naira or, or than the yen or than my local currency, right? The Argentinian hua, I don’t know what they have, you know, or the Mexican peso. Right? Then all of a sudden people don’t want the dollar. And what happens to a dollar when nobody wants it?
42:47AUm, you know, ask me, you know what I’m saying? People don’t like -- oh, you say a lot of people don’t want dollar, right?
42:55BNo, no, people want it. But what happens when they don’t?
42:59AUh, people wanting, but what’s happening, what they want, like, uh, I don’t know. But for me I don’t know everybody memory, right? So as me, you know, I’m wondering about how I gonna make or how I gonna get it. You know, a lot of people that they need money, right? But how they gonna get the money, you know? So when I say there’s a lot of people that don’t go school, you know what I’m saying? A lot of people that they have a lot of experience, you know, because they are, they are pushed a little bit for the school. So Those people can make some money online, right?
43:35AIt depends the experience where you have. It depends living where you are. So, uh, uh, and so that they can, they can stand up a little bit. And then let me talk about people that don’t go to school, right? So them is going to be hard for them and to make money. They’re probably going to work for people, right? So, uh, gonna make something online, right? So people are go school, that them from, from them is going to live better for them. But those who not go school, it’s going to be very hard for them and to stand up a little better in the country, you know.
44:10BHow do you think about the dollar as compared to the naira?
44:14AOh, the dollar, you know, all the, uh, the dollar and the naira, you know, they are the same thing. Ask me why.
44:20BWhy?
44:20AYeah, okay. Because, uh, you know, because when you take $1 right now It’s just like a hundred, like hundred naira. That is a plus, you know what I’m saying? Because they will give you when you take a one dollar to my country, they give you six hundred. So the six hundred is like um, you know what I’m saying? It’s like a hundred naira. That is um, you know. So we feel like it’s a little bit in the top. So that plus. Now make, uh, people that came here where they have opportunity came here and work because where you chase the money to Nigeria is a plus.
45:00ANot too much like that, you know, but it’s a long time before it’s a plus, you know. It’s a very, you know, it’s a very -- where you chase just $1, you can have like $1,000 something. But now it’s all down, you know. So what I’m saying is that you have your own value too, you know. The dollar have your own value and Yeah, that’s a lot of people be right here, you know what I’m saying? A lot of people even that feel comfortable when they buy home, based on say they have things here who are making them making the money more and more, so they can’t live like that, so they keep it coming, you know.
45:36AOr those who now even survive, you know, they must survive before go back. So everybody going to see, you know what I’m saying?
45:43BYeah. So, you know, one thing that I wanted to say was, you know, like If people around the world say, you know, Nigeria -- Nigeria hasn’t always been called Nigeria, right? But, you know, Nigeria is -- there are people there who’ve been in their societies and their civilization for a long time, right? America is a new country, less than 500 years, right? And so if people were like, oh, you know, that’s a good reason, the naira, we should all hold the naira, the naira is a stable currency. Well, if people around the world said we’re going to start buying the naira because we feel like it’s a good investment, what would happen to Nigeria?
46:14AUh, nobody can, you know, uh, that’s a good question. But me, I can say nobody can buy Nigeria currency, never. You know why? Because all the money where you see all the picture on the top, the money is not just a picture that they’re just choosing and they put it there. All the picture have a story. They have a, you know, it’s a talk. You see $100 bill, they have a picture. $5, they have a picture. $1 have a picture. So all the picture where you see on top of money They are saying it’s like, is there something that, uh, they are talking, the government is saying, but they can say for we people.
46:53ABut when you look at the picture, you look the money, you must know that, okay, this money and this picture probably be saying something. So it’s like, oh, I’m making story, you know, real king, like I’m making real story so they can put his name on top of money, you know what I’m saying? It depends the living where you are for the world and how you push yourself long and make people gonna take your valor, or, you know, I’m saying, to not forget you as who you are and pull your picture or maybe something like that. So I feel like nobody in America can -- you can’t take the currency of Nigeria money or even where I’m from, Benin, Nah, you feel what I’m saying?
47:37ABecause all the countries, they have their own spirit and their own energy and their own kingdom, you feel what I’m saying? So all the money where you see they have a picture on the top --
47:47BBut you don’t know anybody that P2P trades US dollars?
47:51AIf I know anybody on top of a picture of $100 --
47:54BI don’t know who does P2P trade with dollars.
47:58ALike, I don’t know, like, speak one more.
48:00BLike, um, some people, they arbitrage. different currencies. They do like Forex.
48:05AOkay.
48:05BYou know Forex?
48:06AYeah, like Forex. I understand.
48:08BAnd so I’m saying people do buy and sell the different currencies. And so I’m saying if people started saying we’re all going to buy the naira, right, it would benefit the Nigerian economy. And it would -- because all of a sudden everybody would have more purchasing power. They could buy more stuff. Like the plus that you’re saying you get from the dollar is partially there because people around the world feel like it’s safe to hold the dollar. And a lot of people are starting to doubt whether or not it’s safe to hold the dollar. They’re losing confidence because of our trade laws, our trade rules, stuff like that. Or maybe we’re printing too much money.
48:36AYeah.
48:36BAnd so people are starting to sell the dollar, and people think Bitcoin could be the next, the next, like, reserve currency, the next digital gold, right? And so, but it’s all a casino. Everybody’s gambling. But I think when you say, how do we make money, I think it’s, it’s first about understanding, if I go to work every day, what, what is going to keep the value of the money that I make from going to work?
48:55AYeah.
48:56BWhat if you go to work for 2 weeks, and then in 2 weeks the money’s worth nothing and you didn’t know? You should have spent your 2 weeks differently, right?
49:01AYou know, I can’t give no explanation for that, right? Because, you know, I was, uh, uh, well, they call a lot of people investor, you feel what I’m saying? Well, you are a hustler. You don’t make money for crypto, you don’t make money any platform, you know what I’m saying? You are a hustler. When I say hustler, Like me now, you know, I’m hustler, but at the same time I’m smart and online, you know. So for me, for me to keep it, have more blessing and more money online, I gotta pay a lot of bill, I gotta stand for a lot of shit, right? So first of all, I’m hustler right now, you know what I’m saying. Doesn’t mean like, uh, I’m not celebrity, right? So let me put that on side. So I can say, um, I can say like work and work, work, work, work. While you working 2 years or 3 years or maybe even 5 years and you not feel like you not even get what you want, you know what I’m saying? You got to understand what make you not get what you want. You got to understand you make something miss, you feel what I’m saying? That’s what sometimes we got to be invest You gotta study first, right?
50:22BYou gotta know what you’re investing in.
50:24AYeah, I don’t give a fuck. You must, you must know where you’re gonna invest your, your money, you know. You’re probably gonna have account or maybe someone, you know, and you’re gonna invest your money there, or maybe something like a business. That’s, you know, that’s the best, if you know what I’m saying.
50:41BYeah, invest in yourself.
50:42AHold on, that’s all you must do, you know, invest by yourself because The investment can keep you along, you feel what I’m saying? Sometimes you be your own boss, you feel what I’m saying? So it’s smart for this world where we live in, you know. It’s not like keeping money account and like you supposed to come to the top where you want before you gonna put it down, invest. Now small, small invest there, small, small invest there, you gonna come to the top where you want, you know. And at the same time You know, that’s it. Because a lot of people, they’re trying to make the whole money cash before invest or before do the future house or whatever they want to do, right?
51:21ASo like me now, some -- a lot of people looking on $35K, you know what I’m saying, so they can start something fast. But when you put $1K, yeah, $1K, you know what I’m saying, and then somewhere it’s gonna come into the top where you want. But if you wait, by the time you’re supposed to complete cash like this, you know what I’m saying, or be on your account, you know, you’re probably gonna expect for a lot of shit gonna come in, you know. So you must be keeping invest for the investment where you want. So you must know that, okay, I moved this money from my account and invest here.
51:59ASo you’re probably gonna come to your top where you want. So that’s it. I don’t want to talk too much because America, they have different lifestyle. So this lifestyle when I’m talking is like Africa, we are invest, you know what I’m saying? So that’s America, they don’t invest. All they know is like, uh, make the city money cash like this so they can do what they want to do, you know what I’m saying? So we as a -- you came for a long way, you must lose your plan B. So, you know, whatever, you know, I’m lose my sense, you know what I’m saying? Yeah, and I stay my own line.
