The Last Time This Happened… Lots Of People Became Millionaires

The last time this happened, a lot of people became millionaires while everyone else laughed. When the internet first launched, most people ignored it. But the people who paid attention early, they built empires. Right now, artificial intelligence is following a very similar pattern and we're still in the early innings. That's why in this video, I want to show you why AI is bigger than most people realize, how it's quietly changing wealth, and how you can position yourself before the next wave. But to really understand the significance of this, you want to understand that history doesn't exactly repeat itself, but it does rhyme. In the 1990s, people said that the internet will never work. And in the year 2000, people even said that the internet might just be a passing fad. Well, that's clearly not true because if there was no internet, there would be no random guy on YouTube. In the early 2000s, people said that nobody would actually enter their credit card information to buy things on the internet because it's too risky. Today, Sears is bankrupt and Amazon is the king of retail. Then, 15 years ago, people said no one would save their private information on the cloud because that's a breach of privacy. Ugh, I hate to break it to you, but if you have a smartphone, your data is on the cloud. Today, the common sentiment is that AI is But there's a lot more to AI than just searching, how do I make guacamole on ChatGPT. I want you to think about this technology shift that we're seeing like an onion. You'll see what I mean in just a second. We've already seen AI evolve quite a bit over just the last few years. ChatGPT went live in November of 2022, and this was where you were now able to give prompts to ChatGPT, and then it would give you answers. You could search, what's the best guacamole recipe, and then it would give you answers based off of what you like. Right now in mid-2025, we're really starting to enter what I call AI 2.0, which focuses on generative AI. This goes beyond just prompts, and now it's creating things like pictures and videos and music based off of what you tell the AI. But this is where things really start to get interesting because our brains aren't meant to comprehend what could be in the future because number one, things are not only evolving, but they're evolving at a faster rate. But if you take a look at any of the major AI companies, none of them say that this is their goal or that this is their goal. They say that their goal is not AI, it's AGI, Artificial General Intelligence. Just take a look at what any of the AI leaders are saying. Mark Zuckerberg says that Meta's real goal is AGI, and this is what OpenAI, which is the owner of ChatGPT, has publicly stated on their website. Our mission is to ensure that Artificial General Intelligence, AI systems that are generally smarter than humans, benefit all humanity. We don't have this AGI just yet, but this is what all the major AI companies are actually working towards, and these are just prototypes to get us to the ultimate end goal. Now you're probably wondering, well what in the world is AGI? So AI is to give you some sort of information. You can tell AI, how do I make a great guacamole recipe, and then it'll give you some prompts. AGI is actually doing that thing for you. You can tell AGI, hey I want to create a guacamole business, can you help me do that? Now AGI will actually go out and they'll form the LLC for you. They'll go out and find real estate for you to rent. They'll even go out and hire you an executive assistant. So AGI is doing the work, AI is just telling you how to do the work. Now a minute ago, I told you to think about this technology shift kind of like an onion, and the reason why is because this change in technology goes multi-layers deep, and many people think that the way that you can invest in AI is just by investing in the artificial intelligence companies, but it goes many layers deeper, and that's what I want to talk about today, and this is also why on August 12th, 2025, I'm hosting my biggest investor workshop of the year, where I'm going to be going over how you can find investment opportunities through this changing economy, through a Trump economy, through the tech changes, and through all the geopolitical changes that we're seeing right now. How do you find investment opportunities when there's a lot of craziness and crazy headlines in the news? It is a free workshop. This is my biggest investor workshop of the year. We have hit capacity every single time. So if you'd like to join, I would love for you to register. It's free. It's live. I'm doing it twice on August 12th, once in the morning at 10 30 a.m. Eastern time, and again in the evening at 8 p.m. Eastern time. So if you'd like to join, all you have to do is register. Just make sure you do it soon because, well, I want to make sure that you can actually reserve your spot. I have the link for you down in the description below. So now let's peel apart this onion and understand how you can find potential investment opportunities. Now again, I'm not telling you what to invest in. Investing is risky. You're never guaranteed to make money when you invest. In fact, you will lose money at some point. So make sure you always do your own due diligence and never blindly trust a random guy on YouTube. I just want you to start thinking like an investor because if we do see more movement in technology, this could create opportunity. Of course, you can lose all of your money, but I just want you to understand what's happening, okay? So the first layer of this onion is, of course, understanding that there's a lot of money going into artificial intelligence because the goal isn't just to create prompts. The goal is to create this artificial general intelligence, which we are not there for, but maybe it will happen. That's what pretty much every major AI company is ultimately striving for. We'll see if and when that happens. But now let's take this one layer deeper because in order to actually power this type of artificial intelligence, and especially the smarter artificial intelligence, we're going to need smarter computer chips to actually power all of the artificial intelligence. This brings us to layer two, quantum computing. Now, my goal isn't to turn this into a super techie video, but think of it this way. A supercomputer is what we have, but a quantum computer is a supercomputer on steroids to the 1,000th power. Now, the whole idea behind these super smart computer chips is they can help you solve complex problems at a much faster rate. And to see how this works, a traditional typical computer right now might be 64-bit, and these traditional supercomputers can essentially solve these problems fast, but they work linearly because they can only solve one problem at a time. So a traditional 64-bit computer can solve one problem at a time, but a bigger capacity, bigger-bit computer can solve things faster. With quantum, it works a little bit differently. If you had a 64-qubit computer, which doesn't exist, now this is not going to solve one problem at a time. This has the ability to solve two to the 64th problems all at the same time. That's 18.4 quintillion problems all at the exact same time. Now, this doesn't exist yet, but that means in theory, this type of quantum computer could solve what this computer would take years or decades or even centuries to do in a matter of seconds, which means that we should be able to see our technology evolve even faster if this layer two actually happens, which would amplify this. Now, again, this is not here. We don't know if or when we will ever see this, but we do know that there's a lot of companies that are investing a lot of money into this. For example, Amazon announced that they are releasing their own quantum chip in 2025. Microsoft also entered the quantum race in 2025 by stating they're going to release their own quantum computing chip. And then we have IBM who's working to build the world's first quantum computer. Now, this is where you have to ask, number one, are we ever going to actually see this type of quantum computing? And if yes, who is going to be the winner of the quantum race? We don't know, but what we can kind predict is whoever the winner will be of this quantum race, so that people can actually use quantum, will probably have the ability to make a lot of money, which could create an investment opportunity for people that get ahead of that. But now this onion goes a little bit deeper, because if you're like me and you like onions, you know the onions have more than just a couple layers. Because now when you have this artificial intelligence, you have this quantum stuff, all of this produces more information. It produces more data. And all this data has to be stored somewhere. Because if you go on to ChatGPT and you ask it, how do I build a guacamole recipe? That information gets stored somewhere. And this cloud where the data is stored is actually a physical place. And that physical place is called a data center. Now, many times these data center companies are not the AI companies. They're not the quantum companies. They're just their own data center companies that specialize in creating data center facilities to help these companies, to help these companies. And the thinking is, if we start to see more money flow into AI or more money flow into quantum, that would ultimately mean that we need more data centers to help support all of the growth here. Now, it's not as attractive as these, but it's become so popular that we've seen companies in 2025 talking about opening up data centers on the moon. Now, is that going to happen? Is that likely? I have no idea. But the whole idea here is, as we start to see a growth in technology, that's going to lead to a growth in more data. If we do see that more growth in technology and data, that could lead to more potential demand for those data center companies. Now, again, yes, many data center companies do trade on the stock market, and it could create an investment opportunity for you, but you got to do your own research. But let's really start peeling back the layers of the onion. So if we start to see more growth here, that could lead more investment into here, into these data center companies. But if you've ever used a computer before with 25 tabs open, like I do, you know that sometimes your computer can overheat and it can start to get hot. And when you are a company that specializes in protecting this data for this very sensitive company or information, you need to keep that data very cool. Temperature-wise, it has to stay cold in order for any of these businesses to be able to function. And this isn't just a basic, put a fan in the room. There are specific technologies that have been created to keep these data centers cool, which could be another potential opportunity, which is another layer of the onion. There's an entire industry of people and engineers that have devoted their lives to figuring out how you can cool these data centers and do it in an energy efficient way. And these data center companies then work with these data center cooling companies to keep that data cool for these companies right here. Now, this industry has also been booming. Why? Because if more money flows here, that could create more opportunity here, which can create more opportunity here. So sometimes you have to go a few layers deep in the onion to be able to find opportunities that a lot of people don't always hear about. And this is where you have to know your strategy as an investor. If you've been watching my videos, you know that I talk about different types of investing strategies and styles. And personal finance is personal because what's right for me may or may not be right for you. And for some people, for 98% of people, maybe 99% of people, investing in individual companies is not the way to go. For the majority of people, I talk about doing passive investing. And passive investing is where you're investing your money in the S&P 500. You're investing your money in the stock market because now you don't have to worry about doing the research. You don't have to listen to earnings calls. You don't have to pay attention to these shifts happening in the market. It's lower risk, less time, less work. And you're just trying to grow with the markets. And when markets go up, you see your investments go up. When markets crash, you see your investments go down. But we know over the long term that markets generally go up over time. But for some people, those that are more financially savvy, you might be more interested in being more of an active investor where you want to pay attention to what I call market shifts. You understand that there's more work and also more risk for more potential opportunity. Maybe you like paying attention to where money is moving. You want to know where the opportunities are going before it hits CNBC, before it hits the headlines. Now, again, this is more work, more time, more energy, more focus, but it can also create much bigger opportunities for those of you that are actually interested in this type of work. But you can also be wrong. I mean, we could see an executive order that completely destroys one of these layers. We could see executive orders that really benefit one of these layers. Or you could see a industry, one of these layers, do very good, but a company go bankrupt. Why? Because you could see a lot of money go here, but a CEO could run the company to the ground. They might manage their cash very poorly. They might not be innovative. They might not be a competitive company. So even though there's more money flowing into one of these industries, a company that you invest in could go bankrupt and you lose everything. And that's why you have to understand the risks as an investor. When you start to be more of an active investor, you can lose everything, but you also have the potential to earn more money. And you have to know the game that you want to play because investing is risky. You've heard me say this a million times. Don't blindly trust what a random guy on YouTube says. Don't blindly trust what a random research report says. Do what's right for you and do the research. But if you are interested in being an active investor, this is where your research can become infinitely more valuable because now you can start to stay ahead of what's happening on the mainstream headlines, and that's what can potentially create an investment opportunity for you, depending on if it fits your investment portfolio or not. And that's what I'm going to be going over on August 12th on my free investor workshop, where I'll be going over how you can find investment opportunities where money is quietly moving in this economy in 2025. So if you're interested in joining me, I would love for you to be there. Again, it's live. I'm doing it twice on August 12th, and I have that link for you down in the description. But the key is you have to know what is your investing strategy and what is the right game for you. Because if you just blindly follow somebody else's strategy, chances are you're not going to win. You have to know what is the game that you want to play and be willing to accept the risk as an investor as well, based off of what you're willing to do. President Trump signed the one big beautiful bill act into law. This big bill will bring some big changes to our economy, starting with some big tax breaks. To funding for certain things like more deportations. And the reason why you want to pay attention to this bill is because it goes into effect retroactively. It goes into effect January 1, 2025.
