So Win started as a they opened Macau. So Win started as a they opened Macau. So Win started as a Vegas property then opened Macau. The Vegas property then opened Macau. The Vegas property then opened Macau. The market started caring about it about 3 market started caring about it about 3 market started caring about it about 3 years before it opened. Um so that the years before it opened. Um so that the years before it opened. Um so that the answer is they should care about it. The answer is they should care about it. The answer is they should care about it. The reality is it's tends to be about 3 reality is it's tends to be about 3 reality is it's tends to be about 3 years before it opens. Well, we're years before it opens. Well, we're years before it opens. Well, we're almost in that time frame, which is why almost in that time frame, which is why almost in that time frame, which is why we think it's opportunistically the we think it's opportunistically the we think it's opportunistically the right period of time.

So, today we're doing talent energy. Uh, So, today we're doing talent energy. Uh, So, today we're doing talent energy. Uh, but first, but first, but first, the anatomy of a power cycle. the anatomy of a power cycle. the anatomy of a power cycle. So, a power cycle typically goes like So, a power cycle typically goes like So, a power cycle typically goes like this. In normal times, power demand this. In normal times, power demand this. In normal times, power demand grows about GDP. So, if GDP grows 2%, grows about GDP. So, if GDP grows 2%, grows about GDP. So, if GDP grows 2%, power demand grows two. If GDP grows power demand grows two. If GDP grows power demand grows two. If GDP grows three, power demand goes three. And three, power demand goes three. And three, power demand goes three. And there's moments in time where we get there's moments in time where we get there's moments in time where we get technological breakthroughs and a lot of technological breakthroughs and a lot of technological breakthroughs and a lot of those technological breakthroughs are those technological breakthroughs are those technological breakthroughs are very power intensive. So power demand very power intensive. So power demand very power intensive. So power demand spikes spikes spikes and once everybody adopts that and once everybody adopts that and once everybody adopts that technology technology technology it trends back down to its onal it trends back down to its onal it trends back down to its onal algorithm algorithm algorithm GDP growth and then you go through the GDP growth and then you go through the GDP growth and then you go through the efficiencies phase where we say let's efficiencies phase where we say let's efficiencies phase where we say let's try to conserve and figure out ways to try to conserve and figure out ways to try to conserve and figure out ways to consume less power and then the cycle consume less power and then the cycle consume less power and then the cycle starts all over again. So, you know, in starts all over again. So, you know, in starts all over again. So, you know, in history, the big technological boom that history, the big technological boom that history, the big technological boom that sent power demand skyrocketing was sent power demand skyrocketing was sent power demand skyrocketing was appliances and air conditioning. appliances and air conditioning. appliances and air conditioning. Everybody had to get their kettles and Everybody had to get their kettles and Everybody had to get their kettles and and the aircon. Then in the 70s and 80s and the aircon. Then in the 70s and 80s and the aircon. Then in the 70s and 80s and 90s, demand normalized again. But and 90s, demand normalized again. But and 90s, demand normalized again. But then the 2000s were all about then the 2000s were all about then the 2000s were all about efficiencies. You know, we had like LED efficiencies. You know, we had like LED efficiencies. You know, we had like LED lighting, smart HVAC, tinted windows, lighting, smart HVAC, tinted windows, lighting, smart HVAC, tinted windows, smart electronics. And at the same time, smart electronics. And at the same time, smart electronics. And at the same time, as I said earlier, we were like, you as I said earlier, we were like, you as I said earlier, we were like, you know, ripping down all our power- hungry know, ripping down all our power- hungry know, ripping down all our power- hungry infrastructure like aluminum smelters infrastructure like aluminum smelters infrastructure like aluminum smelters and moving over China. So, we had two and moving over China. So, we had two and moving over China. So, we had two decades of effectively no power demand. decades of effectively no power demand. decades of effectively no power demand. And now we're just coming out of it and And now we're just coming out of it and And now we're just coming out of it and starting a technological cycle again starting a technological cycle again starting a technological cycle again where power demand is going to really where power demand is going to really where power demand is going to really start to explode from these sort of high start to explode from these sort of high start to explode from these sort of high 2% numbers you're seeing on the screen. 2% numbers you're seeing on the screen. 2% numbers you're seeing on the screen. Now, I want to say something right now Now, I want to say something right now Now, I want to say something right now that is incredibly important. We do not need AI demand to keep the We do not need AI demand to keep the power markets incredibly tight for the power markets incredibly tight for the power markets incredibly tight for the next 20 years. next 20 years. next 20 years. AI demand just turbocharges. AI demand just turbocharges. AI demand just turbocharges. That's all it does. And it creates That's all it does. And it creates That's all it does. And it creates shortages. So just remember that. Early shortages. So just remember that. Early shortages. So just remember that. Early in my career, I was on a panel with Sam in my career, I was on a panel with Sam in my career, I was on a panel with Sam Zel. Interestingly, it was a panel on Zel. Interestingly, it was a panel on Zel. Interestingly, it was a panel on opportunities in Mongolia. I was looking opportunities in Mongolia. I was looking opportunities in Mongolia. I was looking at a copper mine and he was looking at at a copper mine and he was looking at at a copper mine and he was looking at real estate. There was one thing he said real estate. There was one thing he said real estate. There was one thing he said that stuck with me for the rest of my that stuck with me for the rest of my that stuck with me for the rest of my career is he said, "If you can buy an career is he said, "If you can buy an career is he said, "If you can buy an asset, a hard asset at below replacement asset, a hard asset at below replacement asset, a hard asset at below replacement cost for an asset that's going to be cost for an asset that's going to be cost for an asset that's going to be needed in the future where we're going needed in the future where we're going needed in the future where we're going to need to build new capacity of that to need to build new capacity of that to need to build new capacity of that asset. Then you buy that asset at the asset. Then you buy that asset at the asset. Then you buy that asset at the discount to replacement cost. You hold discount to replacement cost. You hold discount to replacement cost. You hold it and you sell it at a big premium to it and you sell it at a big premium to it and you sell it at a big premium to replacement cost when the market wakes replacement cost when the market wakes replacement cost when the market wakes up. That's exactly we did with Equity up. That's exactly we did with Equity up. That's exactly we did with Equity Office properties. Sold it at the peak Office properties. Sold it at the peak Office properties. Sold it at the peak of the market but bought it at a of the market but bought it at a of the market but bought it at a discount to replacement value. Talon discount to replacement value. Talon discount to replacement value. Talon Energy is a power producer. They have 2 Energy is a power producer. They have 2 Energy is a power producer. They have 2 gawatts of nuclear power and they've got gawatts of nuclear power and they've got gawatts of nuclear power and they've got 6 gawatt of natural gas base load power. 6 gawatt of natural gas base load power. 6 gawatt of natural gas base load power. Today in the stock market, as a good Today in the stock market, as a good Today in the stock market, as a good speculation, you could purchase this speculation, you could purchase this speculation, you could purchase this company at a $25 billion enterprise company at a $25 billion enterprise company at a $25 billion enterprise value. the replacement cost is 45 value. the replacement cost is 45 value. the replacement cost is 45 billion. And because they've got debt, billion. And because they've got debt, billion. And because they've got debt, it means that the equity value uh just it means that the equity value uh just it means that the equity value uh just to get to replacement cost uh is more to get to replacement cost uh is more to get to replacement cost uh is more than a double uh from where it's trading than a double uh from where it's trading than a double uh from where it's trading today. And if you follow Sam's playbook, today. And if you follow Sam's playbook, today. And if you follow Sam's playbook, then we ultimately end this cycle at a then we ultimately end this cycle at a then we ultimately end this cycle at a big premium to replacement value. big premium to replacement value. big premium to replacement value. So when I see this, So when I see this, So when I see this, I say the plan for America I say the plan for America I say the plan for America on the power side has to be this. Make on the power side has to be this. Make on the power side has to be this. Make America great again. Copy China. America great again. Copy China. America great again. Copy China. If you look what China did over the last If you look what China did over the last If you look what China did over the last 20 years, we started out this cycle with 20 years, we started out this cycle with 20 years, we started out this cycle with having 2x the power generation that having 2x the power generation that having 2x the power generation that China had. Fast forward to today, China China had. Fast forward to today, China China had. Fast forward to today, China has three times the power generation has three times the power generation has three times the power generation capacity that we have. Now, if you capacity that we have. Now, if you capacity that we have. Now, if you believe that artificial intelligence is believe that artificial intelligence is believe that artificial intelligence is going to be responsible for scientific going to be responsible for scientific going to be responsible for scientific breakthroughs, you either have it or you breakthroughs, you either have it or you breakthroughs, you either have it or you don't have the scientific breakthroughs. don't have the scientific breakthroughs. don't have the scientific breakthroughs. If you believe that artificial If you believe that artificial If you believe that artificial intelligence is going to drive robotics, intelligence is going to drive robotics, intelligence is going to drive robotics, you either have it or you don't have you either have it or you don't have you either have it or you don't have that productivity from the robots. If that productivity from the robots. If that productivity from the robots. If you believe that artificial intelligence you believe that artificial intelligence you believe that artificial intelligence is going to be helpful for national is going to be helpful for national is going to be helpful for national security and military affairs, then you security and military affairs, then you security and military affairs, then you either have it or you're dead. And so either have it or you're dead. And so either have it or you're dead. And so this is an absolutely mandatory this is an absolutely mandatory this is an absolutely mandatory buildout that we have to do otherwise buildout that we have to do otherwise buildout that we have to do otherwise we're going to fall behind because at we're going to fall behind because at we're going to fall behind because at the end of the day what is a data the end of the day what is a data the end of the day what is a data center? You know in my world in the center? You know in my world in the center? You know in my world in the commodities world I look at a data commodities world I look at a data commodities world I look at a data center as the exact same thing as a center as the exact same thing as a center as the exact same thing as a refinery. In a traditional hydrocarbon refinery. In a traditional hydrocarbon refinery. In a traditional hydrocarbon refinery you put oil in crude oil in you refinery you put oil in crude oil in you refinery you put oil in crude oil in you refine it into jet fuel or gasoline for refine it into jet fuel or gasoline for refine it into jet fuel or gasoline for your car. With a data center, you put your car. With a data center, you put your car. With a data center, you put electricity in and on the other end electricity in and on the other end electricity in and on the other end instead of gasoline or jet fuel out instead of gasoline or jet fuel out instead of gasoline or jet fuel out comes photons or tokens or intelligence, comes photons or tokens or intelligence, comes photons or tokens or intelligence, whatever you want to call it, but it's whatever you want to call it, but it's whatever you want to call it, but it's the same thing. Big capital inensive the same thing. Big capital inensive the same thing. Big capital inensive asset, $50 billion per gawatt and power asset, $50 billion per gawatt and power asset, $50 billion per gawatt and power just like electricity, just like oil is just like electricity, just like oil is just like electricity, just like oil is the input to that refinery. So, here's the input to that refinery. So, here's the input to that refinery. So, here's Jensen Jensen Jensen and uh he was just recently quoted that and uh he was just recently quoted that and uh he was just recently quoted that we need a thousand times more power than we need a thousand times more power than we need a thousand times more power than we currently have. Now, if that's we currently have. Now, if that's we currently have. Now, if that's remotely true, we need every single remotely true, we need every single remotely true, we need every single source of power that you can imagine. We source of power that you can imagine. We source of power that you can imagine. We need hundreds of gigawatts of nuclear, need hundreds of gigawatts of nuclear, need hundreds of gigawatts of nuclear, we need solar, we need orbital, we need we need solar, we need orbital, we need we need solar, we need orbital, we need it all, if this is even remotely true. it all, if this is even remotely true. it all, if this is even remotely true. But the challenge as we spoke about But the challenge as we spoke about But the challenge as we spoke about before is the supply chain, right? All before is the supply chain, right? All before is the supply chain, right? All of these, you know, a data center of these, you know, a data center of these, you know, a data center competes for the same supply chain of competes for the same supply chain of competes for the same supply chain of the critical minerals that space the critical minerals that space the critical minerals that space launches and orbital data centers do. launches and orbital data centers do. launches and orbital data centers do. Power plants need all the same nickel Power plants need all the same nickel Power plants need all the same nickel super alloys that it takes to launch super alloys that it takes to launch super alloys that it takes to launch rockets and the silver that goes into rockets and the silver that goes into rockets and the silver that goes into these photovalttaic cells. And so and so these photovalttaic cells. And so and so these photovalttaic cells. And so and so there's going to be shortages of there's going to be shortages of there's going to be shortages of everything and delays everywhere. And my everything and delays everywhere. And my everything and delays everywhere. And my point here is we are just going to need point here is we are just going to need point here is we are just going to need every solution that we can throw at this every solution that we can throw at this every solution that we can throw at this for the foreseeable future. for the foreseeable future. for the foreseeable future. So here's a little region in the US So here's a little region in the US So here's a little region in the US called the PJM, Pennsylvania, Jersey, called the PJM, Pennsylvania, Jersey, called the PJM, Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland. Uh this is a forecast from the Maryland. Uh this is a forecast from the Maryland. Uh this is a forecast from the grid operator where they say that over grid operator where they say that over grid operator where they say that over the next 10 years we're going to need the next 10 years we're going to need the next 10 years we're going to need 106 gawatts of new power in the PJM in 106 gawatts of new power in the PJM in 106 gawatts of new power in the PJM in just one little area of the US. Now in just one little area of the US. Now in just one little area of the US. Now in 10 years in geological time that's like 10 years in geological time that's like 10 years in geological time that's like tomorrow morning right we're all so used tomorrow morning right we're all so used tomorrow morning right we're all so used to internet time you press a button and to internet time you press a button and to internet time you press a button and you get your food delivered to you or you get your food delivered to you or you get your food delivered to you or your car picks you up in two seconds you your car picks you up in two seconds you your car picks you up in two seconds you know building infrastructure happens in know building infrastructure happens in know building infrastructure happens in geological time 10 years to build out geological time 10 years to build out geological time 10 years to build out 106 gawatt is literally a nancond from 106 gawatt is literally a nancond from 106 gawatt is literally a nancond from now and you know you see that thermal now and you know you see that thermal now and you know you see that thermal coal retirements we ain't retiring those coal retirements we ain't retiring those coal retirements we ain't retiring those coal plants because there's no world coal plants because there's no world coal plants because there's no world where we're going to be building 100 where we're going to be building 100 where we're going to be building 100 gawatt in 10 years that's the size of gawatt in 10 years that's the size of gawatt in 10 years that's the size of what Japan consumes today for one little what Japan consumes today for one little what Japan consumes today for one little part of the US. And you know what I'll part of the US. And you know what I'll part of the US. And you know what I'll say is those that understand the supply say is those that understand the supply say is those that understand the supply chain and what goes into building all chain and what goes into building all chain and what goes into building all this, everybody's in panic mode because this, everybody's in panic mode because this, everybody's in panic mode because we know that we don't have the raw we know that we don't have the raw we know that we don't have the raw materials to meet this level of demand materials to meet this level of demand materials to meet this level of demand that's coming our way. So that's going that's coming our way. So that's going that's coming our way. So that's going to keep existing capacity and power to keep existing capacity and power to keep existing capacity and power prices very tight. Now the data center prices very tight. Now the data center prices very tight. Now the data center and the hyperscalers are in a panic. and the hyperscalers are in a panic. and the hyperscalers are in a panic. They're trying everything they can to They're trying everything they can to They're trying everything they can to source as much power as they can under source as much power as they can under source as much power as they can under long-term PPAs power purchase price long-term PPAs power purchase price long-term PPAs power purchase price agreements at fixed prices for 20 years. agreements at fixed prices for 20 years. agreements at fixed prices for 20 years. There's a famous example, you know, I There's a famous example, you know, I There's a famous example, you know, I thought Microsoft was a green company, thought Microsoft was a green company, thought Microsoft was a green company, but they went and convinced but they went and convinced but they went and convinced Constellation Energy, which is a company Constellation Energy, which is a company Constellation Energy, which is a company that owns the 3M island nuclear reactor, that owns the 3M island nuclear reactor, that owns the 3M island nuclear reactor, you know, the one that melted down and you know, the one that melted down and you know, the one that melted down and created, you know, the nuclear meltdown created, you know, the nuclear meltdown created, you know, the nuclear meltdown that gave nuclear a bad name for 30 that gave nuclear a bad name for 30 that gave nuclear a bad name for 30 years. It was Microsoft that told them years. It was Microsoft that told them years. It was Microsoft that told them they needed to start it up. And in order they needed to start it up. And in order they needed to start it up. And in order to incentivize to stimulate their hand to incentivize to stimulate their hand to incentivize to stimulate their hand to wallet reflex to start this thing up, to wallet reflex to start this thing up, to wallet reflex to start this thing up, they said, "Power prices stay $50 a they said, "Power prices stay $50 a they said, "Power prices stay $50 a megawatt hour. We'll pay you a hundred a megawatt hour. We'll pay you a hundred a megawatt hour. We'll pay you a hundred a year for 20 years minimum price for you year for 20 years minimum price for you year for 20 years minimum price for you guys to start this up." And so here we guys to start this up." And so here we guys to start this up." And so here we have it. Uh 3M Island brought to you by have it. Uh 3M Island brought to you by have it. Uh 3M Island brought to you by Microsoft Azure. So, you know, it's Microsoft Azure. So, you know, it's Microsoft Azure. So, you know, it's getting harder to do these deals because getting harder to do these deals because getting harder to do these deals because the regulators are saying, "Wait a the regulators are saying, "Wait a the regulators are saying, "Wait a minute. If you're taking all this power minute. If you're taking all this power minute. If you're taking all this power off the grid for your data center, how off the grid for your data center, how off the grid for your data center, how are we going to heat the homes of our are we going to heat the homes of our are we going to heat the homes of our customers?" And so, uh, you know, it customers?" And so, uh, you know, it customers?" And so, uh, you know, it we're getting ourselves into the moment we're getting ourselves into the moment we're getting ourselves into the moment of what I call crunch time. So, just to of what I call crunch time. So, just to of what I call crunch time. So, just to finish up, uh, here are the numbers on finish up, uh, here are the numbers on finish up, uh, here are the numbers on Talon. Um, the stock today is sort of in Talon. Um, the stock today is sort of in Talon. Um, the stock today is sort of in the high 300s. If they just do the high 300s. If they just do the high 300s. If they just do absolutely nothing, just absolutely absolutely nothing, just absolutely absolutely nothing, just absolutely nothing, just sit there and run the nothing, just sit there and run the nothing, just sit there and run the business, let their Amazon data center business, let their Amazon data center business, let their Amazon data center contract roll up, these guys will be contract roll up, these guys will be contract roll up, these guys will be generating $50 a share of free cash flow generating $50 a share of free cash flow generating $50 a share of free cash flow per year. Again, the stock is in the per year. Again, the stock is in the per year. Again, the stock is in the high 300. So, it's about seven times high 300. So, it's about seven times high 300. So, it's about seven times free cash flow. Good infrastructure free cash flow. Good infrastructure free cash flow. Good infrastructure assets in the US, traded about 15 times. assets in the US, traded about 15 times. assets in the US, traded about 15 times. So, that's pretty good. You get a double So, that's pretty good. You get a double So, that's pretty good. You get a double for basically management just sitting for basically management just sitting for basically management just sitting around and doing nothing. But if they around and doing nothing. But if they around and doing nothing. But if they continue to figure out ways to sign continue to figure out ways to sign continue to figure out ways to sign contracts with data centers at premium contracts with data centers at premium contracts with data centers at premium prices or if power prices go up. I mean prices or if power prices go up. I mean prices or if power prices go up. I mean the amazing thing right now is in the the amazing thing right now is in the the amazing thing right now is in the PJM where these guys operate, the power PJM where these guys operate, the power PJM where these guys operate, the power price is still too low to stimulate new price is still too low to stimulate new price is still too low to stimulate new capacity. The math still doesn't work, capacity. The math still doesn't work, capacity. The math still doesn't work, which is really mindboggling. So if which is really mindboggling. So if which is really mindboggling. So if power prices go up a bit, they do more power prices go up a bit, they do more power prices go up a bit, they do more deals, you get to $70 a share of deals, you get to $70 a share of deals, you get to $70 a share of recurring annual free cash flow, put a recurring annual free cash flow, put a recurring annual free cash flow, put a 15 multiple on that, that's,50. 15 multiple on that, that's,50. 15 multiple on that, that's,50. But then if they get into building power But then if they get into building power But then if they get into building power plants, right? And right now the plants, right? And right now the plants, right? And right now the regulator is telling these companies to regulator is telling these companies to regulator is telling these companies to go sit in a room, power producer, data go sit in a room, power producer, data go sit in a room, power producer, data center, come in a room, make a deal so center, come in a room, make a deal so center, come in a room, make a deal so that you build power and get a good that you build power and get a good that you build power and get a good return on it. And the data center gets return on it. And the data center gets return on it. And the data center gets their power gets a good return on it. their power gets a good return on it. their power gets a good return on it. And Talon is in a pole position to be And Talon is in a pole position to be And Talon is in a pole position to be able to do this. If they just build like able to do this. If they just build like able to do this. If they just build like 4 gawatt of the 100 gawatts that we 4 gawatt of the 100 gawatts that we 4 gawatt of the 100 gawatts that we need, you could get up to, you know, need, you could get up to, you know, need, you could get up to, you know, over $100 a share of free cash flow. The over $100 a share of free cash flow. The over $100 a share of free cash flow. The stocks in the high30s today. So, uh, go stocks in the high30s today. So, uh, go stocks in the high30s today. So, uh, go and buy the shares. It's a good and buy the shares. It's a good and buy the shares.

Nobody likes their electricity prices Nobody likes their electricity prices Nobody likes their electricity prices going up. AI is an increasingly going up. AI is an increasingly going up. AI is an increasingly political issue just like how do you political issue just like how do you political issue just like how do you think about that risk? think about that risk? think about that risk? >> We need AI and we need to figure this >> We need AI and we need to figure this >> We need AI and we need to figure this out. And so there's different ways to out. And so there's different ways to out. And so there's different ways to skin a cat here, right? My personal view skin a cat here, right? My personal view skin a cat here, right? My personal view is during peak hours, right? If you go is during peak hours, right? If you go is during peak hours, right? If you go drive down a highway at 4 in the drive down a highway at 4 in the drive down a highway at 4 in the morning, you know, you would sit there morning, you know, you would sit there morning, you know, you would sit there and say, "Why do we have all this and say, "Why do we have all this and say, "Why do we have all this highway capacity? This is crazy." But highway capacity? This is crazy." But highway capacity? This is crazy." But then you go on that same highway at rush then you go on that same highway at rush then you go on that same highway at rush hour, you're like, "Oh, we don't have hour, you're like, "Oh, we don't have hour, you're like, "Oh, we don't have enough highway capacity. There's not enough highway capacity. There's not enough highway capacity. There's not enough lanes." Power is the same thing. enough lanes." Power is the same thing. enough lanes." Power is the same thing. There's only a few hours a day where you There's only a few hours a day where you There's only a few hours a day where you really stress the system. And so I think really stress the system. And so I think really stress the system. And so I think the working solution to get around this the working solution to get around this the working solution to get around this regulatory issue is you do the PPAs with regulatory issue is you do the PPAs with regulatory issue is you do the PPAs with the data centers. You force the data the data centers. You force the data the data centers. You force the data centers to throw a ton of battery behind centers to throw a ton of battery behind centers to throw a ton of battery behind it and some peakers just to get through it and some peakers just to get through it and some peakers just to get through that really intense period. And then uh that really intense period. And then uh that really intense period. And then uh that's a good band-aid solution until we that's a good band-aid solution until we that's a good band-aid solution until we build more power. So there's ways to do build more power. So there's ways to do build more power. So there's ways to do this. Human ingenuity is going to win this. Human ingenuity is going to win this. Human ingenuity is going to win here. We're going to get our data here. We're going to get our data here. We're going to get our data centers and consumer power bills are centers and consumer power bills are centers and consumer power bills are going to be, I think, relatively under going to be, I think, relatively under going to be, I think, relatively under control. They're going to go up, but control. They're going to go up, but control. They're going to go up, but they're going to be under control. Okay, they're going to be under control. Okay, they're going to be under control. Okay, Dan, I have three questions from the Dan, I have three questions from the Dan, I have three questions from the audience. Really good ones. Number one, audience. Really good ones. Number one, audience. Really good ones. Number one, does your thesis actually need behind does your thesis actually need behind does your thesis actually need behind the meter collocation to clear or is it the meter collocation to clear or is it the meter collocation to clear or is it just a bet that clean firm base load is just a bet that clean firm base load is just a bet that clean firm base load is scarce enough that it doesn't matter scarce enough that it doesn't matter scarce enough that it doesn't matter whether power flows in front of or whether power flows in front of or whether power flows in front of or behind the meter? It's the latter. And behind the meter? It's the latter. And behind the meter? It's the latter. And that's why I gave three scenarios, that's why I gave three scenarios, that's why I gave three scenarios, right? The $50 a share of earnings per right? The $50 a share of earnings per right? The $50 a share of earnings per share. Again, a high $300 stock, right? share. Again, a high $300 stock, right? share. Again, a high $300 stock, right? $50 a share of earnings. Nothing has to $50 a share of earnings. Nothing has to $50 a share of earnings. Nothing has to happen. You just sit, right? And you happen. You just sit, right? And you happen. You just sit, right? And you double your money. Now, if you get more double your money. Now, if you get more double your money. Now, if you get more behind the meter or even front of the behind the meter or even front of the behind the meter or even front of the meter, that's how you get up to that $70 meter, that's how you get up to that $70 meter, that's how you get up to that $70 a share of earnings from 50. And then if a share of earnings from 50. And then if a share of earnings from 50. And then if you get up to the 70, but start building you get up to the 70, but start building you get up to the 70, but start building new capacity, then you get to the $100 new capacity, then you get to the $100 new capacity, then you get to the $100 plus. plus. plus. >> Okay. Question two from Brad. How do you >> Okay. Question two from Brad. How do you >> Okay. Question two from Brad. How do you think about competition for power from think about competition for power from think about competition for power from things like fuel cells, gas turbines, things like fuel cells, gas turbines, things like fuel cells, gas turbines, aerodyit turbines, orbital compute, and aerodyit turbines, orbital compute, and aerodyit turbines, orbital compute, and other sort of IPs, independent power other sort of IPs, independent power other sort of IPs, independent power producers. producers. producers. >> We need all of it.

So in this particular case um Actis' radioisotope particular case um Actis' radioisotope particular case um Actis' radioisotope payload is actinium and actinium is payload is actinium and actinium is payload is actinium and actinium is manufactured from radium 233 which was manufactured from radium 233 which was manufactured from radium 233 which was used in our own nuclear programs in the used in our own nuclear programs in the used in our own nuclear programs in the US in the in the 50s and 60s. So it's a US in the in the 50s and 60s. So it's a US in the in the 50s and 60s. So it's a waste product from there. So actinum is waste product from there. So actinum is waste product from there. So actinum is not even available in other countries not even available in other countries not even available in other countries like China because they had a completely like China because they had a completely like China because they had a completely different uh their own program was different uh their own program was different uh their own program was completely different with enriched completely different with enriched completely different with enriched uranium and plutonium. But the but the uranium and plutonium. But the but the uranium and plutonium. But the but the the risk for a lot of biotech and China the risk for a lot of biotech and China the risk for a lot of biotech and China replication came about that Amgen Sophi replication came about that Amgen Sophi replication came about that Amgen Sophi Supreme Court case, didn't it? Where Supreme Court case, didn't it? Where Supreme Court case, didn't it? Where they could you could make a small they could you could make a small they could you could make a small because it basically said all patents because it basically said all patents because it basically said all patents are composition of matter patents. So are composition of matter patents. So are composition of matter patents. So you could change one amino acid get you could change one amino acid get you could change one amino acid get around the patent and China's basically around the patent and China's basically around the patent and China's basically done that with a lot of biologics that done that with a lot of biologics that done that with a lot of biologics that are patented in the US and Europe. They are patented in the US and Europe. They are patented in the US and Europe. They just rip them off and then you attach just rip them off and then you attach just rip them off and then you attach the radio emmitting the radio emmitting the radio emmitting >> uh radioisotope to the molecule and you >> uh radioisotope to the molecule and you >> uh radioisotope to the molecule and you can kind of chase it. That's kind of why can kind of chase it. That's kind of why can kind of chase it. That's kind of why a lot of biotech's been depressed. Is a lot of biotech's been depressed. Is a lot of biotech's been depressed. Is that not true? that not true? that not true? >> Yeah. So with with with radioisotopes >> Yeah. So with with with radioisotopes >> Yeah. So with with with radioisotopes again because you have to you have to again because you have to you have to again because you have to you have to have a a manufacturing supply that you have a a manufacturing supply that you have a a manufacturing supply that you have to source locally in the US. Um have to source locally in the US. Um have to source locally in the US. Um we haven't seen any competition coming we haven't seen any competition coming we haven't seen any competition coming from China at all. from China at all. from China at all. >> And if if they have a successful readout >> And if if they have a successful readout >> And if if they have a successful readout though, would it not be like the case though, would it not be like the case though, would it not be like the case that someone in China would say, "Hey, that someone in China would say, "Hey, that someone in China would say, "Hey, let's go get some of the necessary let's go get some of the necessary let's go get some of the necessary radioisotopes." And radioisotopes." And radioisotopes." And >> they're they're I'm sure they can do it >> they're they're I'm sure they can do it >> they're they're I'm sure they can do it for the Chinese market, but in terms of for the Chinese market, but in terms of for the Chinese market, but in terms of then transfer transferring that over then transfer transferring that over then transfer transferring that over here, we we haven't we haven't seen it here, we we haven't we haven't seen it here, we we haven't we haven't seen it or kind of any wind of it at all. or kind of any wind of it at all. or kind of any wind of it at all. >> And so then my last question, I'm sorry >> And so then my last question, I'm sorry >> And so then my last question, I'm sorry for monopolizing. Why do you think the for monopolizing. Why do you think the for monopolizing. Why do you think the markets discounted the value so much markets discounted the value so much markets discounted the value so much since the IPO? since the IPO? since the IPO? >> Oh gosh. Given the return in biotech >> Oh gosh. Given the return in biotech >> Oh gosh. Given the return in biotech >> valuation, it's pretty classic biotech. >> valuation, it's pretty classic biotech. >> valuation, it's pretty classic biotech. So it's traded flat since the IPO. uh So it's traded flat since the IPO. uh So it's traded flat since the IPO. uh biotech investors are so insanely biotech investors are so insanely biotech investors are so insanely short-term oriented that even though short-term oriented that even though short-term oriented that even though we're now call it eight or nine months we're now call it eight or nine months we're now call it eight or nine months from data that's still way too long and from data that's still way too long and from data that's still way too long and so our expectation is the folks will so our expectation is the folks will so our expectation is the folks will start accumulating this in the second start accumulating this in the second start accumulating this in the second half in anticipation of the data coming half in anticipation of the data coming half in anticipation of the data coming in the first quarter in the first quarter in the first quarter >> Gavin you had a question >> Gavin you had a question >> Gavin you had a question >> yeah sure so I in in in the distant past >> yeah sure so I in in in the distant past >> yeah sure so I in in in the distant past I ran a biioharmaceutical fund uh and I ran a biioharmaceutical fund uh and I ran a biioharmaceutical fund uh and you know it's a very hard job you know it's a very hard job you know it's a very hard job congratulations on those numbers but I congratulations on those numbers but I congratulations on those numbers but I ran that fund right after the human g ran that fund right after the human g ran that fund right after the human g genome had been sequenced and there was genome had been sequenced and there was genome had been sequenced and there was an expectation that the sequencing of an expectation that the sequencing of an expectation that the sequencing of the genome was going to lead to this the genome was going to lead to this the genome was going to lead to this explosion in therapies personalized explosion in therapies personalized explosion in therapies personalized medicines etc etc and I don't think medicines etc etc and I don't think medicines etc etc and I don't think broadly speaking we've made as much broadly speaking we've made as much broadly speaking we've made as much progress over the last 25 years as maybe progress over the last 25 years as maybe progress over the last 25 years as maybe people thought in the early 2000s and my people thought in the early 2000s and my people thought in the early 2000s and my hypothesis is that the genome is too big hypothesis is that the genome is too big hypothesis is that the genome is too big of a problem space for the human mind or of a problem space for the human mind or of a problem space for the human mind or software written by humans and AI is software written by humans and AI is software written by humans and AI is going to unlock a lot of kind of going to unlock a lot of kind of going to unlock a lot of kind of revolution utionary therapies. So my revolution utionary therapies. So my revolution utionary therapies. So my question to you, I will just admit it's question to you, I will just admit it's question to you, I will just admit it's a selfish question. It is not about your a selfish question. It is not about your a selfish question. It is not about your stock pitch, which is great. It's what stock pitch, which is great. It's what stock pitch, which is great. It's what do you think the odds are that in the do you think the odds are that in the do you think the odds are that in the lifetimes of everyone in this room, the lifetimes of everyone in this room, the lifetimes of everyone in this room, the average human lifespan in a developed average human lifespan in a developed average human lifespan in a developed country extends well past 100 to 125, country extends well past 100 to 125, country extends well past 100 to 125, 150. I would take the over on that uh in 150. I would take the over on that uh in 150. I would take the over on that uh in no small part because we already have no small part because we already have no small part because we already have one of the best longevity drugs out one of the best longevity drugs out one of the best longevity drugs out there and folks don't even realize it in there and folks don't even realize it in there and folks don't even realize it in the glip ones and the obesity drugs. So the glip ones and the obesity drugs. So the glip ones and the obesity drugs. So one of the only things that's ever been one of the only things that's ever been one of the only things that's ever been shown in act with actual data to extend shown in act with actual data to extend shown in act with actual data to extend life is caloric restriction and that's life is caloric restriction and that's life is caloric restriction and that's literally what all the obesity drugs do. literally what all the obesity drugs do. literally what all the obesity drugs do. So I'm sure half the people in this room So I'm sure half the people in this room So I'm sure half the people in this room are on one of them. Uh and that's just are on one of them. Uh and that's just are on one of them. Uh and that's just the beginning because it's trained the beginning because it's trained the beginning because it's trained people that you can inject yourself with people that you can inject yourself with people that you can inject yourself with something and have healthy living something and have healthy living something and have healthy living through pharmaceuticals. So I I think through pharmaceuticals. So I I think through pharmaceuticals. So I I think that's only going to continue. that's only going to continue. that's only going to continue. >> Oh, I got two questions from the >> Oh, I got two questions from the >> Oh, I got two questions from the audience. First one, as the launch costs audience. First one, as the launch costs audience. First one, as the launch costs per kilogram continue to fall, is there per kilogram continue to fall, is there per kilogram continue to fall, is there a credible pathway to use space and a credible pathway to use space and a credible pathway to use space and microgravity as a therapeutic variable microgravity as a therapeutic variable microgravity as a therapeutic variable given that cancer cells appear to behave given that cancer cells appear to behave given that cancer cells appear to behave differently in lowgravity environments? differently in lowgravity environments? differently in lowgravity environments? >> That is a great question that's probably >> That is a great question that's probably >> That is a great question that's probably not applicable to this. not applicable to this. not applicable to this. >> Okay. And then the second question, what >> Okay. And then the second question, what >> Okay. And then the second question, what would be a technological breakthrough would be a technological breakthrough would be a technological breakthrough that could disrupt precision that could disrupt precision that could disrupt precision radiotherapy as a result of AI at scale radiotherapy as a result of AI at scale radiotherapy as a result of AI at scale to drug development and precancerous to drug development and precancerous to drug development and precancerous screen? screen? screen? >> Yeah, another awesome question. There's >> Yeah, another awesome question. There's >> Yeah, another awesome question. There's a a small skunks work project within a a small skunks work project within a a small skunks work project within Actis AI project. So with all these Actis AI project. So with all these Actis AI project. So with all these biotech companies, they have their biotech companies, they have their biotech companies, they have their little proprietary data sets that they little proprietary data sets that they little proprietary data sets that they hope to leverage with various insights. hope to leverage with various insights. hope to leverage with various insights. So a company like this with their many So a company like this with their many So a company like this with their many proteins and everything else they're proteins and everything else they're proteins and everything else they're trying to accomplish, they have their trying to accomplish, they have their trying to accomplish, they have their own little tiny group of PhD data own little tiny group of PhD data own little tiny group of PhD data scientist nerds who are seeing if they scientist nerds who are seeing if they scientist nerds who are seeing if they can leverage that in a pretty decent can leverage that in a pretty decent can leverage that in a pretty decent way. Is it so it's been really hard to way. Is it so it's been really hard to way. Is it so it's been really hard to get CARTT in solid tumors? Um is it the get CARTT in solid tumors? Um is it the get CARTT in solid tumors? Um is it the case that these kind of personalized case that these kind of personalized case that these kind of personalized uh uh peptide based imunotherap uh uh uh peptide based imunotherap uh uh uh peptide based imunotherap uh therapies are showing some efficacy in therapies are showing some efficacy in therapies are showing some efficacy in some solid tumors and is that uh a space some solid tumors and is that uh a space some solid tumors and is that uh a space that's going to expand and kind of that's going to expand and kind of that's going to expand and kind of intersect here? intersect here? intersect here? >> What's most promising that I think a lot >> What's most promising that I think a lot >> What's most promising that I think a lot of folks have probably heard of is uh uh of folks have probably heard of is uh uh of folks have probably heard of is uh uh a new drug for pancreatic cancer from a a new drug for pancreatic cancer from a a new drug for pancreatic cancer from a company called Revmed was just another company called Revmed was just another company called Revmed was just another targeted therapy. So for now there's not targeted therapy. So for now there's not targeted therapy. So for now there's not a huge amount of progress from from a huge amount of progress from from a huge amount of progress from from peptides. And have you looked at Droins peptides. And have you looked at Droins peptides. And have you looked at Droins before? These kind of right-handed before? These kind of right-handed before? These kind of right-handed proteins that seem to be able to proteins that seem to be able to proteins that seem to be able to penetrate solid tumors. penetrate solid tumors. penetrate solid tumors. >> Well, so one of the one of the neat >> Well, so one of the one of the neat >> Well, so one of the one of the neat things about these mini proteins is things about these mini proteins is things about these mini proteins is they're hopefully of the right size to they're hopefully of the right size to they're hopefully of the right size to be able to deliver their payload inside be able to deliver their payload inside be able to deliver their payload inside of the tumors. of the tumors. of the tumors. >> Incredible.

Thanks to the besties for organizing. Today we're the besties for organizing. Today we're the besties for organizing. Today we're going to be talking about a little known going to be talking about a little known going to be talking about a little known asset, a little crypto asset called asset, a little crypto asset called asset, a little crypto asset called Geonet. Uh which is building the rails Geonet. Uh which is building the rails Geonet. Uh which is building the rails for AI. So let's jump in. Quick bit for AI. So let's jump in. Quick bit for AI. So let's jump in. Quick bit about me. Uh I founded a firm called about me. Uh I founded a firm called about me. Uh I founded a firm called Multicoin Capital about eight and a half Multicoin Capital about eight and a half Multicoin Capital about eight and a half years ago. I stepped down a few months years ago. I stepped down a few months years ago. I stepped down a few months ago. Um, and in my time there, I was ago. Um, and in my time there, I was ago. Um, and in my time there, I was probably most well known for, uh, probably most well known for, uh, probably most well known for, uh, leading all three rounds of investment leading all three rounds of investment leading all three rounds of investment in Salana prior to Salana's network in Salana prior to Salana's network in Salana prior to Salana's network launch, uh, in 2020. Um, I've been deep launch, uh, in 2020. Um, I've been deep launch, uh, in 2020. Um, I've been deep in the crypto space for a very long in the crypto space for a very long in the crypto space for a very long time. Uh, and I thought this would be a time. Uh, and I thought this would be a time. Uh, and I thought this would be a very natural forum to talk about a very very natural forum to talk about a very very natural forum to talk about a very interesting investment at the interesting investment at the interesting investment at the intersection of crypto and AI. Uh, also intersection of crypto and AI. Uh, also intersection of crypto and AI. Uh, also big shout out to David Sax. big shout out to David Sax. big shout out to David Sax. Unfortunately, he's not here, but, uh, Unfortunately, he's not here, but, uh, Unfortunately, he's not here, but, uh, David did seed multicoin uh, back in the David did seed multicoin uh, back in the David did seed multicoin uh, back in the day. So, thank you, David, for believing day. So, thank you, David, for believing day. So, thank you, David, for believing in me very early. All right, let's get in me very early. All right, let's get in me very early. All right, let's get into geoet. So the way to understand into geoet. So the way to understand into geoet. So the way to understand Geonet first is to look at GPS um Geonet first is to look at GPS um Geonet first is to look at GPS um probably everyone in this room has been probably everyone in this room has been probably everyone in this room has been in the situation on the left where in the situation on the left where in the situation on the left where you're using your phone and your phone you're using your phone and your phone you're using your phone and your phone is in the wrong spot facing the wrong is in the wrong spot facing the wrong is in the wrong spot facing the wrong way. Right here you can see this guy way. Right here you can see this guy way. Right here you can see this guy looks like he's facing a wall according looks like he's facing a wall according looks like he's facing a wall according to his phone. Um, Geonet it to his phone. Um, Geonet it to his phone. Um, Geonet it fundamentally is a new is it uses a fundamentally is a new is it uses a fundamentally is a new is it uses a technology called RTK or real-time technology called RTK or real-time technology called RTK or real-time kinematics where you can localize your kinematics where you can localize your kinematics where you can localize your location down to about 2 centimeters for location down to about 2 centimeters for location down to about 2 centimeters for context. GPS roughly the the precision context. GPS roughly the the precision context. GPS roughly the the precision is about 2 m. So you're getting about is about 2 m. So you're getting about is about 2 m. So you're getting about 100x accuracy for very precise 100x accuracy for very precise 100x accuracy for very precise geoloccation. Uh, as you can imagine any geoloccation. Uh, as you can imagine any geoloccation. Uh, as you can imagine any form of kind of robotics can make use of form of kind of robotics can make use of form of kind of robotics can make use of RTK drones being the very obvious RTK drones being the very obvious RTK drones being the very obvious example. I'll touch on a few more just example. I'll touch on a few more just example. I'll touch on a few more just in a couple minutes here. in a couple minutes here. in a couple minutes here. Um, today Geonet is the world's largest Um, today Geonet is the world's largest Um, today Geonet is the world's largest RTK network in the world and it's also RTK network in the world and it's also RTK network in the world and it's also the fastest growing. Um, the three the fastest growing. Um, the three the fastest growing. Um, the three companies you see on the left here, companies you see on the left here, companies you see on the left here, Trimble, Hexagon, and Topcon, have all Trimble, Hexagon, and Topcon, have all Trimble, Hexagon, and Topcon, have all been building RTK networks in some form been building RTK networks in some form been building RTK networks in some form or fashion for call it 20 to 30 years. or fashion for call it 20 to 30 years. or fashion for call it 20 to 30 years. Um, all of them combined have roughly Um, all of them combined have roughly Um, all of them combined have roughly 12,000 base stations deployed around the 12,000 base stations deployed around the 12,000 base stations deployed around the world. GeoNet was founded in 2021. Uh, world. GeoNet was founded in 2021. Uh, world. GeoNet was founded in 2021. Uh, began building out the network in 2022. began building out the network in 2022. began building out the network in 2022. Uh, and today they are roughly twice the Uh, and today they are roughly twice the Uh, and today they are roughly twice the size of the next three guys combined. Uh size of the next three guys combined. Uh size of the next three guys combined. Uh today's geoet is live in 150 countries today's geoet is live in 150 countries today's geoet is live in 150 countries around the world, more than 11,000 around the world, more than 11,000 around the world, more than 11,000 cities and covers roughly 80% of the cities and covers roughly 80% of the cities and covers roughly 80% of the global population excluding some global population excluding some global population excluding some sanctioned countries. Um so this thing sanctioned countries. Um so this thing sanctioned countries. Um so this thing is really growing quickly. Uh you might is really growing quickly. Uh you might is really growing quickly. Uh you might say, how did these guys build this say, how did these guys build this say, how did these guys build this network so fast? Uh and the key is network so fast? Uh and the key is network so fast? Uh and the key is really this decentralized crypto model. really this decentralized crypto model. really this decentralized crypto model. Um so here we're looking at literally a Um so here we're looking at literally a Um so here we're looking at literally a photo of a geoet base station on the photo of a geoet base station on the photo of a geoet base station on the roof of someone's house. The the global roof of someone's house. The the global roof of someone's house. The the global geoet network, those 22,000 nodes are geoet network, those 22,000 nodes are geoet network, those 22,000 nodes are not being built and deployed by some one not being built and deployed by some one not being built and deployed by some one that looks like AT&T or Verizon. Those that looks like AT&T or Verizon. Those that looks like AT&T or Verizon. Those base stations are being deployed by any base stations are being deployed by any base stations are being deployed by any random guy or hobbyist or professional random guy or hobbyist or professional random guy or hobbyist or professional or small business owner who wants to or small business owner who wants to or small business owner who wants to make some extra money. You can go on the make some extra money. You can go on the make some extra money. You can go on the Geonodes website today. You can buy one Geonodes website today. You can buy one Geonodes website today. You can buy one of these base stations. They're a few of these base stations. They're a few of these base stations. They're a few hundred bucks. You put it on your roof hundred bucks. You put it on your roof hundred bucks. You put it on your roof of your house or your small business. It of your house or your small business. It of your house or your small business. It broadcasts radio waves. You make money. broadcasts radio waves. You make money. broadcasts radio waves. You make money. Uh you actually get paid in geode Uh you actually get paid in geode Uh you actually get paid in geode tokens, which is the really cool part tokens, which is the really cool part tokens, which is the really cool part about this incentive system to bootstrap about this incentive system to bootstrap about this incentive system to bootstrap this thing to get it off the ground. So this thing to get it off the ground. So this thing to get it off the ground. So the Geonet network started about 4 years the Geonet network started about 4 years the Geonet network started about 4 years ago doing this. Today it's now the ago doing this. Today it's now the ago doing this. Today it's now the largest fastest growing in the world by largest fastest growing in the world by largest fastest growing in the world by a pretty wide margin. If you want a a pretty wide margin. If you want a a pretty wide margin. If you want a sense of scale, uh here we're looking at sense of scale, uh here we're looking at sense of scale, uh here we're looking at their coverage in United States. their coverage in United States. their coverage in United States. Obviously, every single major metro is Obviously, every single major metro is Obviously, every single major metro is covered, but even if you look at most of covered, but even if you look at most of covered, but even if you look at most of the rural parts of the country, you're the rural parts of the country, you're the rural parts of the country, you're covering actually the vast majority of covering actually the vast majority of covering actually the vast majority of even the rural areas. Um let's talk even the rural areas. Um let's talk even the rural areas. Um let's talk about some of the customers and use about some of the customers and use about some of the customers and use cases for this. We'll start with cases for this. We'll start with cases for this. We'll start with agriculture first. Um the USDA actually agriculture first. Um the USDA actually agriculture first. Um the USDA actually launched a couple years ago a program to launched a couple years ago a program to launched a couple years ago a program to encourage farmers and ranchers to use uh encourage farmers and ranchers to use uh encourage farmers and ranchers to use uh precise a technologies including RTK precise a technologies including RTK precise a technologies including RTK networks. Um today actually geo the USDA networks. Um today actually geo the USDA networks. Um today actually geo the USDA is now actually subsidizing uh many is now actually subsidizing uh many is now actually subsidizing uh many farmers and ranchers all over the farmers and ranchers all over the farmers and ranchers all over the country uh to adopt high precision a country uh to adopt high precision a country uh to adopt high precision a most of which is powered by geodet. most of which is powered by geodet. most of which is powered by geodet. Um getting into some specific examples Um getting into some specific examples Um getting into some specific examples of that here we're looking at what's of that here we're looking at what's of that here we're looking at what's called a robotic mule. Um this is made called a robotic mule. Um this is made called a robotic mule. Um this is made by a company called Burrow. Uh obviously by a company called Burrow. Uh obviously by a company called Burrow. Uh obviously this is transporting some grapes. You this is transporting some grapes. You this is transporting some grapes. You could put anything on this. Has pretty could put anything on this. Has pretty could put anything on this. Has pretty obvious application for bas almost any obvious application for bas almost any obvious application for bas almost any farm or ranch you can imagine. With the farm or ranch you can imagine. With the farm or ranch you can imagine. With the advent in computer vision, CPUs, advent in computer vision, CPUs, advent in computer vision, CPUs, batteries, all the other AI stuff, these batteries, all the other AI stuff, these batteries, all the other AI stuff, these things are growing like hotcakes, all of things are growing like hotcakes, all of things are growing like hotcakes, all of them are going to be powered by Geonet them are going to be powered by Geonet them are going to be powered by Geonet or something like it. Um, here we're or something like it. Um, here we're or something like it. Um, here we're looking at John Deere. They have a new looking at John Deere. They have a new looking at John Deere. They have a new service uh that they rolled out recently service uh that they rolled out recently service uh that they rolled out recently called Global Unmanned Spraying Systems called Global Unmanned Spraying Systems called Global Unmanned Spraying Systems or Gus. Um, these things drive around. or Gus. Um, these things drive around. or Gus. Um, these things drive around. They literally spray plants with They literally spray plants with They literally spray plants with pesticides and other things of that like pesticides and other things of that like pesticides and other things of that like that. I did actually confirm this that. I did actually confirm this that. I did actually confirm this morning there are wineries here in Napa morning there are wineries here in Napa morning there are wineries here in Napa that are actually using John Deere Gus that are actually using John Deere Gus that are actually using John Deere Gus uh uh vehicles. That was pretty cool. So uh uh vehicles. That was pretty cool. So uh uh vehicles. That was pretty cool. So if you have some wine tonight, maybe it if you have some wine tonight, maybe it if you have some wine tonight, maybe it was powered by by Gus, which powered by was powered by by Gus, which powered by was powered by by Gus, which powered by Geonet. Um, obviously autonomous Geonet. Um, obviously autonomous Geonet. Um, obviously autonomous vehicles has a pretty obvious vehicles has a pretty obvious vehicles has a pretty obvious application for this. Um, TomTom is one application for this. Um, TomTom is one application for this. Um, TomTom is one of Geonet's customers. TomTom is a of Geonet's customers. TomTom is a of Geonet's customers. TomTom is a supplier to basically every every AV supplier to basically every every AV supplier to basically every every AV program in the world, uh, excluding program in the world, uh, excluding program in the world, uh, excluding maybe a couple. And today, TomTom is maybe a couple. And today, TomTom is maybe a couple. And today, TomTom is using Geonet's data to update their maps using Geonet's data to update their maps using Geonet's data to update their maps to get them more accurate and precise as to get them more accurate and precise as to get them more accurate and precise as they need to cover every square inch they need to cover every square inch they need to cover every square inch basically around the planet. basically around the planet. basically around the planet. Um, one of my favorite use cases are Um, one of my favorite use cases are Um, one of my favorite use cases are kind of the next wave of consumer kind of the next wave of consumer kind of the next wave of consumer robotics, which are getting a lot of robotics, which are getting a lot of robotics, which are getting a lot of hype these days. I think the most hype these days. I think the most hype these days. I think the most obvious one are robotic lawnmowers. I obvious one are robotic lawnmowers. I obvious one are robotic lawnmowers. I don't think anyone loves to mow their don't think anyone loves to mow their don't think anyone loves to mow their lawn. Um, robotic lawnmowers are now lawn. Um, robotic lawnmowers are now lawn. Um, robotic lawnmowers are now actually rolling out at pretty good actually rolling out at pretty good actually rolling out at pretty good scale. They're estimated they're going scale. They're estimated they're going scale. They're estimated they're going to sell 1 million robotic lawnmowers to sell 1 million robotic lawnmowers to sell 1 million robotic lawnmowers this year, made by companies like Yarbo, this year, made by companies like Yarbo, this year, made by companies like Yarbo, Sunseeker, and others. Um, all of those Sunseeker, and others. Um, all of those Sunseeker, and others. Um, all of those these guys are all powered by Geonet. these guys are all powered by Geonet. these guys are all powered by Geonet. Um, Um, Um, next up, let's get to drones. Um the next up, let's get to drones. Um the next up, let's get to drones. Um the world's largest drone manufacturer DJI world's largest drone manufacturer DJI world's largest drone manufacturer DJI is a Geonet customer. Uh it's not in all is a Geonet customer. Uh it's not in all is a Geonet customer. Uh it's not in all of their models, but it is in a lot of of their models, but it is in a lot of of their models, but it is in a lot of their models. Uh and so obviously DJI is their models. Uh and so obviously DJI is their models. Uh and so obviously DJI is sending a ton of traffic now over sending a ton of traffic now over sending a ton of traffic now over Geonet. Uh in the coming uh you know Geonet. Uh in the coming uh you know Geonet. Uh in the coming uh you know months and years as DJI wounds down in months and years as DJI wounds down in months and years as DJI wounds down in the US and you have new a wave of the US and you have new a wave of the US and you have new a wave of American drone manufacturers pop up. I'm American drone manufacturers pop up. I'm American drone manufacturers pop up. I'm going to venture to guess that most if going to venture to guess that most if going to venture to guess that most if not all of them are going to end up on not all of them are going to end up on not all of them are going to end up on the GeoNet network as well. Uh the the GeoNet network as well. Uh the the GeoNet network as well. Uh the Geonet team is based in the US has deep Geonet team is based in the US has deep Geonet team is based in the US has deep roots here. What I love about Geonet is roots here. What I love about Geonet is roots here. What I love about Geonet is it's a very obvious network effect it's a very obvious network effect it's a very obvious network effect networks effect network effects networks effect network effects networks effect network effects business. Um this thing looks like a business. Um this thing looks like a business. Um this thing looks like a natural telecom, right? You have base natural telecom, right? You have base natural telecom, right? You have base stations kind of all over the world. You stations kind of all over the world. You stations kind of all over the world. You got to cover the whole planet. Um got to cover the whole planet. Um got to cover the whole planet. Um telecoms naturally form monopolies telecoms naturally form monopolies telecoms naturally form monopolies historically. I think the same is likely historically. I think the same is likely historically. I think the same is likely to be true here. Today, Geonet is the to be true here. Today, Geonet is the to be true here. Today, Geonet is the world's largest and fastest growing world's largest and fastest growing world's largest and fastest growing network with also the lowest cost network with also the lowest cost network with also the lowest cost structure by a very wide margin because structure by a very wide margin because structure by a very wide margin because of this decentralized nature where of this decentralized nature where of this decentralized nature where people just put these things on top of people just put these things on top of people just put these things on top of their house. their house. their house. In terms of where the business at, the In terms of where the business at, the In terms of where the business at, the business just crossed about $1 million business just crossed about $1 million business just crossed about $1 million in annualized run rate a few days ago. in annualized run rate a few days ago. in annualized run rate a few days ago. Uh, and it's growing more than 3x Uh, and it's growing more than 3x Uh, and it's growing more than 3x year-over-year. I think it's going to year-over-year. I think it's going to year-over-year. I think it's going to probably more than triple over the next probably more than triple over the next probably more than triple over the next 12 months. Um, what's really cool about 12 months. Um, what's really cool about 12 months. Um, what's really cool about GeoNet is how capital efficient it is GeoNet is how capital efficient it is GeoNet is how capital efficient it is and how they're actually returning and how they're actually returning and how they're actually returning capital to token holders. So today, uh, capital to token holders. So today, uh, capital to token holders. So today, uh, the Geonet network is taking of that 11 the Geonet network is taking of that 11 the Geonet network is taking of that 11 million in revenue roughly, uh, excuse million in revenue roughly, uh, excuse million in revenue roughly, uh, excuse me, 80% of it is being used to make open me, 80% of it is being used to make open me, 80% of it is being used to make open market purchases of Geo tokens. Uh, and market purchases of Geo tokens. Uh, and market purchases of Geo tokens. Uh, and this is all visible on the Salana this is all visible on the Salana this is all visible on the Salana blockchain. they have all the addresses blockchain. they have all the addresses blockchain. they have all the addresses are published and stuff. So, it's all are published and stuff. So, it's all are published and stuff. So, it's all verifiable in real time. Uh that means verifiable in real time. Uh that means verifiable in real time. Uh that means $8.8 million right now per year is going $8.8 million right now per year is going $8.8 million right now per year is going into buying, you know, Geonet tokens on into buying, you know, Geonet tokens on into buying, you know, Geonet tokens on the open market. Uh what's amazing is the open market. Uh what's amazing is the open market. Uh what's amazing is that last 20% is they're they're that last 20% is they're they're that last 20% is they're they're covering all their R&D costs and scaling covering all their R&D costs and scaling covering all their R&D costs and scaling out now their business development team. out now their business development team. out now their business development team. With a business like this, of course, With a business like this, of course, With a business like this, of course, like it's a pretty small network of like it's a pretty small network of like it's a pretty small network of customers. The guys who work at John customers. The guys who work at John customers. The guys who work at John Deere know the guys who work at DJI, who Deere know the guys who work at DJI, who Deere know the guys who work at DJI, who know the guys who work at TomTom. And know the guys who work at TomTom. And know the guys who work at TomTom. And so, this thing is now growing virally so, this thing is now growing virally so, this thing is now growing virally amongst this kind of core community of amongst this kind of core community of amongst this kind of core community of of customers. Um, and as you can imagine of customers. Um, and as you can imagine of customers. Um, and as you can imagine with customers who sign up for a service with customers who sign up for a service with customers who sign up for a service like this, they tend to ramp up their like this, they tend to ramp up their like this, they tend to ramp up their usage of that service over time. So once usage of that service over time. So once usage of that service over time. So once someone starts rolling out GeoNet in the someone starts rolling out GeoNet in the someone starts rolling out GeoNet in the first year, they're usually spending first year, they're usually spending first year, they're usually spending about $60,000 per year. After two years about $60,000 per year. After two years about $60,000 per year. After two years though, they're usually spending about though, they're usually spending about though, they're usually spending about $170,000 per year. So the average Geonet $170,000 per year. So the average Geonet $170,000 per year. So the average Geonet customer is growing their their revenue customer is growing their their revenue customer is growing their their revenue with GeoNet about 3x in that second with GeoNet about 3x in that second with GeoNet about 3x in that second year. Um, obviously then we look at year. Um, obviously then we look at year. Um, obviously then we look at their just their customers. They've their just their customers. They've their just their customers. They've signed up in the last two years. You can signed up in the last two years. You can signed up in the last two years. You can see they 5x their customer base last see they 5x their customer base last see they 5x their customer base last year. Those are that net new customers. year. Those are that net new customers. year. Those are that net new customers. So applying some pretty simple math So applying some pretty simple math So applying some pretty simple math here, you can see they have a very clear here, you can see they have a very clear here, you can see they have a very clear path to more than 3x this year as this path to more than 3x this year as this path to more than 3x this year as this thing ramps up. Just to wrap things up thing ramps up. Just to wrap things up thing ramps up. Just to wrap things up summary, um Jonet is the world's largest summary, um Jonet is the world's largest summary, um Jonet is the world's largest RTK network, growing the fastest. It has RTK network, growing the fastest. It has RTK network, growing the fastest. It has really obvious network effects and is is really obvious network effects and is is really obvious network effects and is is likely to be a very natural monopoly likely to be a very natural monopoly likely to be a very natural monopoly growing 3x year over year with a bunch growing 3x year over year with a bunch growing 3x year over year with a bunch of flagship customers and brands that of flagship customers and brands that of flagship customers and brands that you all know. Obviously, we have this you all know. Obviously, we have this you all know. Obviously, we have this huge physical AI tailwind behind us now, huge physical AI tailwind behind us now, huge physical AI tailwind behind us now, robotics and all the other amazing stuff robotics and all the other amazing stuff robotics and all the other amazing stuff happening. Uh and they're returning happening. Uh and they're returning happening. Uh and they're returning capital to shareholders. Uh the token capital to shareholders. Uh the token capital to shareholders. Uh the token does trade on the Salana blockchain. Uh does trade on the Salana blockchain. Uh does trade on the Salana blockchain. Uh if you want to buy, it trades 247. The if you want to buy, it trades 247. The if you want to buy, it trades 247. The ticker is geode geo d. Um so if you want ticker is geode geo d. Um so if you want ticker is geode geo d. Um so if you want to actually get some geo tokens, I to actually get some geo tokens, I to actually get some geo tokens, I encourage you to sign up for a crypto encourage you to sign up for a crypto encourage you to sign up for a crypto wallet, a salon wallet, and you can go wallet, a salon wallet, and you can go wallet, a salon wallet, and you can go ahead and buy geode tokens from there. ahead and buy geode tokens from there. ahead and buy geode tokens from there. And with that, I think we are ready for And with that, I think we are ready for And with that, I think we are ready for some Q&A. some Q&A. some Q&A. >> Awesome. Um what's the market cap? >> Awesome.

Um and so yeah for a tractor maybe that doesn't yeah for a tractor maybe that doesn't yeah for a tractor maybe that doesn't matter but for a drone or for any other matter but for a drone or for any other matter but for a drone or for any other battery sensitive application ground is battery sensitive application ground is battery sensitive application ground is always going to be uh the preferred always going to be uh the preferred always going to be uh the preferred solution. solution. solution. >> Super interesting.

I love hearing ideas like this. hearing ideas like this. hearing ideas like this. >> I love all four. My my difference is in >> I love all four. My my difference is in >> I love all four. My my difference is in sizing. So, you know, there's there's sizing. So, you know, there's there's sizing. So, you know, there's there's certain asymmetric alpha that each one certain asymmetric alpha that each one certain asymmetric alpha that each one of these exhibits and then there's very of these exhibits and then there's very of these exhibits and then there's very different downside risk for each of different downside risk for each of different downside risk for each of them. them. them. >> Uh, and then there's also liquidity >> Uh, and then there's also liquidity >> Uh, and then there's also liquidity issues. So, for example, like I love issues. So, for example, like I love issues. So, for example, like I love Kyle's idea. The problem is I I could Kyle's idea. The problem is I I could Kyle's idea. The problem is I I could not get enough working for me where so not get enough working for me where so not get enough working for me where so you I don't even think I could get a you I don't even think I could get a you I don't even think I could get a million dollars in today. It would to million dollars in today. It would to million dollars in today. It would to scale in it would move the market. Um, scale in it would move the market. Um, scale in it would move the market. Um, so I would have to I'd have to probably so I would have to I'd have to probably so I would have to I'd have to probably I'd be like 10 20 30,000 and then maybe I'd be like 10 20 30,000 and then maybe I'd be like 10 20 30,000 and then maybe start to buy into it. talent. I think start to buy into it. talent. I think start to buy into it. talent. I think they could absorb tens of millions and they could absorb tens of millions and they could absorb tens of millions and people wouldn't bite an eyelash. Um people wouldn't bite an eyelash. Um people wouldn't bite an eyelash. Um the biotech company the issue there is the biotech company the issue there is the biotech company the issue there is that I think that there is as you said that I think that there is as you said that I think that there is as you said Freberg this discontinuous Freberg this discontinuous Freberg this discontinuous illi liquidity zero risk but then illi liquidity zero risk but then illi liquidity zero risk but then there's the 10x upside. So there's just there's the 10x upside. So there's just there's the 10x upside. So there's just like huge like huge like huge >> Lily will bid for it >> Lily will bid for it >> Lily will bid for it >> and then MGM I think is just so I think >> and then MGM I think is just so I think >> and then MGM I think is just so I think MGM and Talon are the ones you could MGM and Talon are the ones you could MGM and Talon are the ones you could have huge sizing in have huge sizing in have huge sizing in >> and then the other ones I think you have >> and then the other ones I think you have >> and then the other ones I think you have a piece because they're like lottery a piece because they're like lottery a piece because they're like lottery tickets.

David, David, David, >> I think your assessment of MGM Talon, >> I think your assessment of MGM Talon, >> I think your assessment of MGM Talon, >> I think I think MGM uh I look at the >> I think I think MGM uh I look at the >> I think I think MGM uh I look at the kind of return upside, the downside and kind of return upside, the downside and kind of return upside, the downside and the timeline. MGM's like probably a 3x. the timeline. MGM's like probably a 3x. the timeline. MGM's like probably a 3x. I think it's also missing this point I think it's also missing this point I think it's also missing this point that I've heard a lot about on you can that I've heard a lot about on you can that I've heard a lot about on you can actually upgrade the monetization on actually upgrade the monetization on actually upgrade the monetization on these Vegas properties. We were talking these Vegas properties. We were talking these Vegas properties. We were talking to a friend of ours in Vegas. They're to a friend of ours in Vegas. They're to a friend of ours in Vegas. They're they're making a million bucks a day in they're making a million bucks a day in they're making a million bucks a day in incremental ibita every day that they incremental ibita every day that they incremental ibita every day that they have a show at the sphere um at the uh have a show at the sphere um at the uh have a show at the sphere um at the uh at the Venetian hotel which is an at the Venetian hotel which is an at the Venetian hotel which is an unbelievable statistic which tells you unbelievable statistic which tells you unbelievable statistic which tells you that when you have the entertainment that when you have the entertainment that when you have the entertainment draw the gambling revenue just flies draw the gambling revenue just flies draw the gambling revenue just flies >> flies >> flies >> flies >> and so Barry Diller I have heard >> and so Barry Diller I have heard >> and so Barry Diller I have heard separately has been spending a lot of separately has been spending a lot of separately has been spending a lot of time on trying to reinvent the time on trying to reinvent the time on trying to reinvent the entertainment at these properties and entertainment at these properties and entertainment at these properties and thinks he has an idea on how to do it thinks he has an idea on how to do it thinks he has an idea on how to do it which will cause the gambling revenue to which will cause the gambling revenue to which will cause the gambling revenue to fly. So, I think even if you discount fly. So, I think even if you discount fly. So, I think even if you discount the upside on these new locations, the upside on these new locations, the upside on these new locations, there's probably a lot of work to be there's probably a lot of work to be there's probably a lot of work to be done. And I do like the floor on the bid done. And I do like the floor on the bid done. And I do like the floor on the bid and then you got call it 3x in 2 years and then you got call it 3x in 2 years and then you got call it 3x in 2 years even if this bid goes nowhere and they even if this bid goes nowhere and they even if this bid goes nowhere and they keep the thing running and they're like keep the thing running and they're like keep the thing running and they're like we're going to reject the bid and keep we're going to reject the bid and keep we're going to reject the bid and keep running independently. Talon is maybe 3x running independently. Talon is maybe 3x running independently. Talon is maybe 3x upside, 5x upside, but it's eight years upside, 5x upside, but it's eight years upside, 5x upside, but it's eight years out. And I think one of the other out. And I think one of the other out. And I think one of the other challenges with Talon that I would kind challenges with Talon that I would kind challenges with Talon that I would kind of use as a valuation metric is I think of use as a valuation metric is I think of use as a valuation metric is I think it's more interest rate sensitive than it's more interest rate sensitive than it's more interest rate sensitive than MGM is um because the power purchase MGM is um because the power purchase MGM is um because the power purchase agreements really are where a lot of the agreements really are where a lot of the agreements really are where a lot of the revenue comes from. So you're going to revenue comes from. So you're going to revenue comes from. So you're going to get a discount rate that's a multip get a discount rate that's a multip get a discount rate that's a multip that's a function of where interest that's a function of where interest that's a function of where interest rates are sitting. So I think if rates are sitting. So I think if rates are sitting. So I think if interest rates shoot up which some might interest rates shoot up which some might interest rates shoot up which some might argue there's there's risk there you argue there's there's risk there you argue there's there's risk there you actually get margin compression from actually get margin compression from actually get margin compression from that 15x outlook that he has for Talon. that 15x outlook that he has for Talon. that 15x outlook that he has for Talon. So that would be my kind of downside So that would be my kind of downside So that would be my kind of downside scenario on Talon. um in the in the time scenario on Talon. um in the in the time scenario on Talon. um in the in the time ahead and Actis I do worry because I'm ahead and Actis I do worry because I'm ahead and Actis I do worry because I'm an investor in a company that's got a D an investor in a company that's got a D an investor in a company that's got a D protein conjugate that shows really protein conjugate that shows really protein conjugate that shows really strong efficacy in getting solid tumors. strong efficacy in getting solid tumors. strong efficacy in getting solid tumors. I think that there are new modalities I think that there are new modalities I think that there are new modalities for therapeutics for solid tumors that for therapeutics for solid tumors that for therapeutics for solid tumors that are being discussed that that may kind are being discussed that that may kind are being discussed that that may kind of put this at risk. I think the China of put this at risk. I think the China of put this at risk. I think the China risk is legit because I've seen it risk is legit because I've seen it risk is legit because I've seen it across the board in biotech. Everything across the board in biotech. Everything across the board in biotech. Everything gets ripped off and people go to China, gets ripped off and people go to China, gets ripped off and people go to China, but they could have a hit and Lily could but they could have a hit and Lily could but they could have a hit and Lily could bid on it in 6 months if they actually bid on it in 6 months if they actually bid on it in 6 months if they actually get a good readout. So there's certainly get a good readout. So there's certainly get a good readout. So there's certainly upside, but the downside's probably 50 upside, but the downside's probably 50 upside, but the downside's probably 50 75% if they get a bad readout or China 75% if they get a bad readout or China 75% if they get a bad readout or China or some new modality comes out. So I or some new modality comes out. So I or some new modality comes out. So I think the ranking is probably MGM Talon think the ranking is probably MGM Talon think the ranking is probably MGM Talon Actis and then the for me the geodet Actis and then the for me the geodet Actis and then the for me the geodet piece uh I I just think the space thing piece uh I I just think the space thing piece uh I I just think the space thing is is likely the path. It's going to is is likely the path. It's going to is is likely the path. It's going to replace all RTK and all GPS in the next replace all RTK and all GPS in the next replace all RTK and all GPS in the next decade. Um it's an inevitable piggyback decade. Um it's an inevitable piggyback decade. Um it's an inevitable piggyback on systems that are already going up. on systems that are already going up. on systems that are already going up. >> All right, great. So I think I've got >> All right, great. So I think I've got >> All right, great. So I think I've got everybody. Uh for me, I put them into everybody. Uh for me, I put them into everybody. Uh for me, I put them into two buckets. Um I think uh AKTS and GOD two buckets. Um I think uh AKTS and GOD two buckets. Um I think uh AKTS and GOD those are like lottery tickets could be those are like lottery tickets could be those are like lottery tickets could be crazy returns but you know there's a crazy returns but you know there's a crazy returns but you know there's a there's a big probability of a zero there's a big probability of a zero there's a big probability of a zero there if they don't you know uh actually there if they don't you know uh actually there if they don't you know uh actually work and then MGM and Talon obviously work and then MGM and Talon obviously work and then MGM and Talon obviously got the downside protection and those got the downside protection and those got the downside protection and those feel like um people will always gamble feel like um people will always gamble feel like um people will always gamble and leave the lights on. So I kind of and leave the lights on. So I kind of and leave the lights on. So I kind of like both of those. I put 200k into each like both of those. I put 200k into each like both of those. I put 200k into each in real time. in real time. in real time. >> Gamble and leave the lights. Uh, so >> Gamble and leave the lights. Uh, so >> Gamble and leave the lights.
