Shownotes

Wealth is not created diversified. It is created in concentration.

In this heated Cardone Debates episode, investors clash over the ultimate portfolio question: Should you go ALL IN on Bitcoin, or spread your bets?

🎯 TEAM CONCENTRATION (Bitcoin)

  1. Gary Cardone – 86% net worth in Bitcoin, entrepreneur & Bitcoin advocate
  2. Mitch – Ex-corporate investor relations, now full-time in Bitcoin space

📊 TEAM DIVERSIFICATION

  1. Jerry Katz – Ex-Wall Street, worked for the Wolf, real estate & insurance investor
  2. Dustin Stockton – Political strategist, Bitcoin advocate with nuanced view


THE QUESTION: In 2025, with regulations clear and institutions piling in, is diversification still smart — or just fear dressed up as strategy?

Topics covered:

  1. Why Gary would dump $300-400M into Bitcoin tomorrow
  2. Jerry's "buy, borrow, die" real estate tax strategy (pays zero taxes)
  3. The Bill Gates mistake: How diversifying out of Microsoft cost him billions
  4. Why Bitcoin is "zero human error risk" unlike any business
  5. MicroStrategy's new products: STRF, STRK, STRD — diversification within Bitcoin?
  6. The case for bringing Bitcoin INTO other industries vs withdrawing
  7. Why the masses "can't" go all-in (and why Gary thinks that's BS)


💥 BEST LINES:

"I sold my 401k — the last $46,000 I had — to fund a business that became worth half a billion dollars."

"I'd rather live 28 years like Jimi Hendrix than 100 years like most people."

"Bitcoin is like a hot chick — sexy, mysterious, volatile as hell. She might drain your bank account and disappear by sunrise."


🎯 THE VERDICT: Both sides agree Bitcoin is compelling — but disagree on whether you should bet the farm or hedge your bets.
