Speech on the Economy and Big Picture Trends (Part 1 of 4)

Quote
Uploaded on Aug 16, 2009

Speech given at Tony Robbin's Wealth Mastery seminar on demographic trends, the economy and markets. Based on research by Harry S Dent and the HS Dent Foundation.
Covers spending, consumer behavior and other areas.

In the video, Bruce doles out Dent's book. More about Dent here: http://www.avaresearch.com/articles/750/a-look-at-harry-dents-track-record.html

Quote
“A second technology boom brings cellular, Internet, and broadband connections to 90% of U.S. households by 2009.”
[Is this supposed to be a credible prediction? A child could have made this conclusion. Leroy Fodor's 3-year-old son could have made this conclusion.]

Quote
The key to their strategy is to flood every possible media venue with a sales pitch that has been disguised as valuable insight because sales and marketing is a numbers game. Dent is even offering his “bag of gold” wealth training to personal development websites; you know, these are the companies that cater to the biggest get-rich-quick sheep on planet Earth, the MLM guys, the real estate millionaires, the cash flow magic guys.

On one of these sites for instance, along with Dent’s Prosper in the Downturn self-help instructional audio series, you will also find Robert Kiyosaki, David Bach, Tony Robbins and other clowns pitching their “secrets” to riches. If you’re wondering why Donald Trump isn’t there, remember that Trump has his own platform so he has no need to share revenues with venders. The Trump illusion and shady “branding” deals he has become involved with have reached a historic level.

I think the key to this is understanding that we potentially could have a super version of Andreas Antonopoulos dipping his toes into the Bitcoin world.

Andreas is a great public speaker and he decided that he wanted to help Bitcoin so he used his ability as a public speaker to do so and he has been one of the greatest assets and I think him for all he has done to promote Bitcoin.

Tony Robbins is the ultimate public speaker. He inspires and informs other public speakers. I just listened to him a few weeks ago on YouTube just searching for inspiring speeches. His hour of power is good. Great speaker.

Welcome aboard Mr. Robbins.

I have also interpreted this as "this guy named Tony Robbins invented Bitcoin", in a way. I think you should change the thread title to something a bit less misleading. I had no idea who this guy was anyway.

You guys had been all too much effected by the past "disclosures" of satoshi! Cheesy
To discover something and inventing it are completely different things.There is absolutely no connection between these words.
And therefore no reason to change the thread title imo.
We all here discovered Bitcoin at a certain time.And now Tony Robbis did this as well.

I just had a few quick reads on Tony Robbins

He is promoting himself, he want a new audience for you to buy from him.

This is really good news for Bitcoin. Before he settled into "marketing" Tony Robbins wrote best-selling books about positive attitude, personal achievement, etc.

for some reason I misinterpreted the title as "Tony Robbins is Satoshi" lol. still not sure if this will have a big effect but it surely is a good news.
also I see there are some people trying to promote their preferred altcoin to him.
This is indeed a good thing since this is like free publicity for Bitcoin. But I don't really know much about this guy though.
Hmm... I just hope he won't straight away jump to shitcoins. I mean, altcoins.

Okay,literally no one cares abouts Tony or his opinions about bitcoins.Just because he is rich and he has followers doesn't mean his views will make a difference.From what I notice,he is just following the new market trends and tying to expand his horizons into the cryptocurrencies for his own profits.He is not literally supporting the bitcoin but just for his profit sakes he is promoting the stuff.


This man has underlings that are just as powerful as him that will also jump on board. Just the fact he says anything will be spread through the twitter world. He attracts a lot of people that want to get rich and this would be right up their alley. As long as more people wake up to bitcoin their end goal is no big issue for me.

I've opted to read then entire short thread to see if anybody else gets it. You won!

Keyword: Underlings.

Money, Master the Game Step 2. Become an Insider. Anthony Robbins

How To Market Online - Tony Robbins and Frank Kern - The New Money Masters

The following is just a short list of marketers that could get an audience with Tony Robbins. Tony could easily pick up the phone... Fuck that! Blast a single email to all the below about cryptos, whereupon they'll do most anything he espouses. The sad part is take any name below and Google it with the word scam and see the results, starting with Frank Kern. HYIP thingies are tame in comparison.

It's good to have some free publicity and I think that's a big marketing step for him. Not sure how this is going to turn but at least that guy is pretty famous in the US, it might be a good plus.
I remember him in the movie Shallow Hal...... That's how I know him

If he have lots of followers, some will be interested to know what is that "economic system" he is talking about, and would learn what bitcoin is. And some could be interested about using it, and some other will buy them to speculate. All the people talking about bitcoin is positive, there is a low % of people that heard anything about bitcoin.

It's all positive promotion and, for one, it's more than welcome! Let's be thankful there are people outside of the Bitcoin industry willing to promote it, otherwise most mainstream exposure would be due to negative news such as Cryptolocker and Bitcoin ransom.

Exactly, like the news that i read yesterday from this forum about the google devs, they was "promoting" bitcoin on his YouTube channel, we cant expect nothing better than that, spread the Word of bitcoin is always welcome and thats exactly what they are indirectly doing.

What we should do is to retweet them too.

That's what I'm always doing. People here so often complain why Bitcoin doesn't take off and why it is not that much known outside the space.
And when finally guys like Tony Robbins, googledevs and Ashton Kutcher for instance with huge user bases are posting about Bitcoin, we as the community should definitely show some positive reaction to that and participate with helping out to understand what others don't know regarding Bitcoin and give a few more informations when asked for. This is done in a few minutes by writing just some words and giving one or two useful more links.

Well the good side is, him having enormous amount of followers on his social media accounts therefor anything he says that drive further attention regarding BTCitcoin to newer audience would be a plus but on a bad side, at the end of his article, he still mentioned that use of BTCitcoin in criminal activities (wish he didn't so as that alone would make people think twice in term of using it).


I think it's good he is speaking about the pros and cons, the ups and downs.
Otherwise it would look kind of suspicious if people do some more research about Bitcoin and find out about the bad news themselves.And then they could ask themselves: "Why he hasn't told us about that?"
So I say he is doing it right.Therefore people can weigh up between potential and risks.
