The Shark Tank star stated that people weren't comfortable with investing in crypto currently because they had watched the rise and the downfall of the cowboy phase. He added that the cowboy phase was over because the cowboys were all in jail or out of business.

There was a new tone in the crypto world because of President Trump. He stated that they were going to bring in new regulations to allow this to integrate well with the financial institutions. He added:

"It's going to become a payment system and an investment vehicle and is going to become part of all of our sectors of the economy. We have 11 sectors, eventually, I believe crypto will be the 12th."

Lara then told Kevin that people were mystified and asked him what he would like to tell them. The Shark Tank star asked them to start small. He suggested they buy a third of a Bitcoin. He asked them to treat it as a long-term investment and told them it was a new asset form. He called it "digital gold" and told them that's how he perceived it.

He asked the new cryptocurrency investors to learn small things every day and not risk too much while learning to understand the technology. Kevin further stated:

"The big news is that this will be the first administration that's going to say, this sector belongs in America. The development should be here."
