0:12Big desire that a lot of people have is money. I don't think a day passes without someone telling me, "What do you think of Bitcoin? What do you think of Bitcoin? It's at this amount. It's at that amount. Is it a good investment? Is it a bad investment?" Or they ask me about the stock market in general because the stock market apparently is at all-time highs and... They keep asking, "What do you think of this? And what do you think of this? And what do you think of this? And what do you think of this now?" Why do I tell you this? Because, number one, I don't think about it. That's the goodness—I don't think about it. I don't follow it, and really the only way I know what's going on is if somebody tells me. But the real important part—how do I know I? How do I know it's a bubble? I was in the business for almost 20 years. You don't need to know too much to recognize it's a bubble, and the reason why is because there's an old saying: when a taxi driver is giving you stock tips, it's a bubble. When the average Joe is asking you if he should invest or he's telling you what to invest in, it's a bubble.

1:22Average Joe, everywhere somehow, is becoming an investor right now. Every guy that has 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, all of a sudden is a guru. Once they invest in the market, they open their own accounts. It's obvious it's a 100% bubble, but no one wants to listen. No one cares what I say. Who cares? I don't even want to give the advice. I left the business for a reason. It's not something I'm going to do for free. Why am I telling you this? Because the funniest thing, the funniest thing in the world, that's very sad though. It's funny, but it's sad. Every single time someone tells me, they ask me the question, "What do you think of this?" and "What do you think of this?" Say, "Listen, if you tell me, I'm gonna give myself. I'm gonna give 10% myself. I'm gonna give 10% to your kiruv organization." You know, it's like, "God, the guy's important." Like, "Ah, I'm gonna give myself." The guy sent me a text early this afternoon because, listen, I know you're busy. I know your time is precious, and all these nice generous compliments I don't deserve, anyway, and...

2:23Says, listen, what do you think of Bitcoin? I'll show you the text. There's no name on it, so you won't know who it is. You should see the text. It says, no, and listen, I'll give you ma'aser. I'll give you ten percent. I'm a shochet. It's like, it's kiruv, kiruv if I make money. It's kiruv, people could do to follow the sun. We all became anshei emunah. All of a sudden, everybody became anshei emunah. Now, the question I have for everyone is... Everyone that says they're gonna give maaser if this happens, they're gonna give maaser if they become rich, they're gonna give maaser if they sell this house, they're gonna give maaser if they sell the property, they're gonna give maaser if Donald Trump gives a minute part of his inheritance, they're gonna give maaser if the boss gives. Why don't you give maaser now? That's the question. The question they're gonna ask you in Shamayim when you get up to Shamayim, and they start asking you, why did you tell the rabbi you'll give maaser? Why? Why are you a liar? Why are you a liar? Why are you a filthy liar? Who are you kidding? You think you're lying to me? Do you think I care? You have a problem in Shamayim, you filthy liar. You filthy liar. You have a problem in Shamayim. They ask you, why are you a filthy liar? Why are you telling people, oh, I'm going to give Maaser. I'm going to give Maaser. If you give Maaser, give it now. Why are you giving it now? What do you need? What do you need more money to give Maaser?

3:43Waiting for only rich people to give? The number one donors in the world are often ordinary individuals. Every organization will tell you that. All the big organizations, whether they're idolatrous organizations or Jewish ones, it doesn’t make a difference; the real bread and butter of all the organizations come from basic people and not just the wealthy. Yeah, of course, you're gonna hear about the hundred million dollar donation from this guy and a hundred million dollar donation from that guy. But until they got to the hundred million dollars, they survived from the average Joes. The average Joes didn't wait to win the lotto to give them a se'udat hodaya. So, what are they gonna ask you in Shamayim, "Who are you kidding? Who are you kidding when you say, 'If Hashem gives me this, I'm gonna do this'?" If you do it, will you give some conditions? Hashem, if you give me a house, then I'll do Havdalah. Hashem, if you give me a wife, then I'll learn Torah. Hashem, if you give me this, I'll do that. Hashem, if you give me this, I'll do that. One time a guy said it. He says, Hashem, listen.

4:51Give me money. No problem. Give me a million dollars in the bank. Make sure that my wife is happy, make sure the kids are this, make sure that I don't have any health problems. Make sure of this, make sure of this, make sure of this. I'm going to call it for morning tonight, a bat kol from Shamayim came out. I'm not interested. I have other people doing it for a thousand bucks a month. I don't have to give you a million dollars. Other people are doing it for a thousand bucks a month. Why should we give you a million dollars? Not interested. Redemption, favor... Who are you kidding? Who are you kidding? All these people are just making a joke of the system. Oh, no. No, if you do this, I'm going to give you myself, waiting myself. We'll provide one way or another. But why are you lying for your own sake, for your own sake?
