Aren’t they though? What about that whole crypto thing.

These are people who spend billions on whatever this decade's hype cycle is.
That comment struck me as well. One other thing it gets wrong is that the "trillions of dollars" are just numbers in a cap table based on a paper valuation. They're not money that anyone has actually forked over; those numbers are quite a bit smaller.
