# The Next Great Wealth Reset Just Started

## Summary

The video discusses how major economic shifts create wealth opportunities, drawing parallels between past booms in oil, the internet, and cryptocurrency. It argues that copper, a less glamorous but essential industrial metal, is poised for a similar surge due to rising demand from AI, data centers, electric vehicles, and military spending, combined with supply constraints and geopolitical stockpiling.

### Key Points

- **Historical Wealth Resets** [00:02] — Every generation sees a transformative economic shift: 1970s oil, 1990s internet, 2010s crypto. These create once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for investors.
- **Boring Industries Outperform** [00:55] — Behind exciting industries like tech and crypto, boring industries like copper often power the booms and can outperform the headline-grabbing sectors.
- **Copper's Ubiquity** [01:11] — Copper is essential for electricity and is used in every part of the economy: cars, houses, missiles, and now AI data centers.
- **Geopolitical Stockpiling** [01:52] — China has been stockpiling millions of tons of copper for years, similar to the oil stockpiling in the 1970s. The US is now responding with tariffs and Project Walt, a $12 billion stockpile.
- **Copper as Economic Indicator** [03:00] — Wall Street calls copper 'Dr. Copper' because its price reflects economic health. Rising demand signals growth; falling demand signals a downturn.
- **Current Paradox** [03:42] — Copper is at all-time highs despite economic concerns like inflation and oil prices, driven by stockpiling and future demand expectations.
- **Three Demand Drivers** [04:08] — 1) AI and data centers need massive copper for infrastructure. 2) Electric cars globally (outside US) are growing. 3) New energy grids and military missiles require copper.
- **Supply Constraints** [05:33] — Major copper producers cannot increase output easily. New mines take 10-20 years to develop, and easy-to-access copper is depleted.
- **Tariffs Impact** [06:15] — US tariffs on copper aim to boost domestic production but also raise prices, benefiting copper producers.
- **Investment Options** [07:24] — Three ways to invest: 1) Copper miner ETF (COPX). 2) Individual copper mining companies. 3) Foreign copper miners (higher risk).

### Conclusion

Copper is at the center of a structural shift driven by AI, electrification, and geopolitical tensions. With demand outstripping supply and tariffs adding upward pressure, copper presents a potential long-term investment opportunity for those who think like investors.

wealth is made reset, creating new once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. In the 1970s, it was oil because OPEC cut off the oil supply, causing oil prices to skyrocket and oil investors to get rich. In the 1990s, it was internet companies.
Internet valuations were skyrocketing and the investors in those companies became extremely wealthy. And then in the 2010s, it was a brand new investment called cryptocurrency. CNN even called Bitcoin the greatest investment of the
decade because of how rich people got with crypto. Yes, every one of these Like Bitcoin is not doing so hot right now, but during those periods, the investors were able to grow their wealth very quickly. But here's the part that a
lot of people overlook. Behind the scenes of these exciting industries like oil and tech and crypto are boring industries like copper that power a lot of these booms and a lot of people overlook it. And sometimes these boring
than the exciting industries that all the news is talking about. And that's one of those boring industries that can not only make you a smarter investor, hidden opportunities that most people completely overlook because copper is
used in every single part of our economy and most people have no idea how it even works. Let me show you. Copper is the go-to metal for electricity. So anytime you hear of an economic boom, we need more copper. If people are buying more
copper. If people are buying more cars and houses, we need more copper. And if the government needs more missiles, well, you got it. We need more copper. But today we're starting to see a new use case for copper that didn't really
exist a few years ago, artificial intelligence. Because this artificial technologies, it needs new data centers, and this requires a lot of copper. And now we're seeing countries like the United States and China go to war over
physical war of fighting, I'm talking about an economic war. For years now, before the United States, China has been working to stockpile millions of tons of copper. It's the same economic game that we saw play out in the 1970s where
countries were working to stockpile oil because the countries with the most oil China believes the same thing is going to happen with copper, which is why copper because they believe we're going to need more copper to fuel the future
of our economies if they're powered by AI. Well, now it's not just China. to stockpile their copper to be able to compete in the next generation of our States is getting involved. President Trump has put on a 50% tariff on copper
products coming into the United States. This way we're forced to produce more copper here in America. And then President Trump started something called Project Walt, which is supposed to be a 12 billion-dollar stockpile of critical
this gets so interesting now is because as so many countries try to acquire more copper, we're starting to see people worry that we could be seeing a copper shortage. This is why a lot of the people on Wall Street call copper Dr.
kind of an indicator as to where the economy is moving. When people are they're buying phones, that means the economy is growing and you can measure seeing what's happening with copper prices. And if people are not buying
more stuff, cars are not being built, phones are not being built, houses are copper demand goes down causing the price of copper to go down, which seeing a downturn in the economy. So, a lot of people actually like to look at
copper prices to see where the economy is moving next. Now, for those of you interesting right now because copper today is at around all-time highs, which normally would say that our economy is booming. But, we're also seeing a lot of
concerns in the economy at the exact same time. We're seeing concerns about concerns about inflation, we're seeing concerns about oil prices. All of these are still booming. I'll talk about how this could create potential investment
opportunities in just a minute, but let's talk about why people are buying countries working to stockpile copper. three big economic drivers of copper right now. The first is AI and data
centers because every country that is involved in this AI race wants more data centers and they all need more copper. So we're seeing companies work to get more copper so they can build AI, so they can build the semiconductors, and
Number two is electric cars. And you might say, well, who is buying electric cars anymore? Well, in the United States, yeah, electric car demand is not as hot as it was a few years ago. But do you know where electric cars are being
used more? Everywhere else in the world. And so even though the United States is not seeing the booming rush for electric cars like we were before, the rest of the world is starting to see growth in electric cars, and those electric cars
need more copper. And then number three is the new energy grid and missiles. Because the entire world now needs more energy because AI sucks so much energy, infrastructure in the United States and all around the world to be able to keep
up with all this energy need. All of this energy upkeep needs more copper transport energy or electricity from one place to the other. Not to mention that wartime products, like missiles, need more copper. So when you hear about
concerns about war, all of that means you generally need telling you that is so you understand what is the demand side of copper, why these countries working to stockpile copper.
side of copper because I talked about how some people are getting concerned just say, well, can't we just mine more copper and produce more copper? Yes, but some of the biggest copper producers in the world actually produce less copper,
want to produce less, it's that they cannot produce more copper. Now, the reason for that is through these mines, the easy copper access is not there anymore. And so, we need to create new copper mines, and these new copper mines
to get access to more copper take years, sometimes 10 to 20 years to be able to access that more copper. And so, this is that dilemma that we're trying to produce more copper, but it just takes time to be able to produce more copper
skyrocketing. And then, on top of all of that is tariffs, because we know that President Trump is working to build new supply chains here in the United States, been putting tariffs on countries around the world. And that means we want to
here, but that also means that copper prices could go up because if you have tariffs on things, that can make things more expensive, which means copper can become more expensive if we continue to see more tariffs on copper. Now, that
"Well, how can this create potential investment opportunities?" And this is know. Number one, I have a free investing masterclass that you can watch take advantage of economic opportunities right now. It's a free masterclass. When
get access to market briefs, which is my newsletter for investors, completely masterclass yet, I have the link for you down in the description below. And I'm not telling you what to invest in. These are just examples that we can
as an investor, you want to invest for the long term. And I'm just a random guy never guaranteed to make money when you invest. In fact, you will lose money at your own due diligence and never blindly trust a random guy on YouTube. In the
different ways to invest your money into the copper industry. There is a copper miner ETF that's COPX that will give you exposure to copper miners. Again, I'm want you to start thinking like an investor where if copper prices go up,
money because they get to sell their product for more money. That's one way, invest directly into individual companies. Now, when you invest in individual companies, obviously that comes with more risk because now if that
company does bad, despite the fact that the industry might be doing good, you something that you're interested in, you could take a look at copper mining could be a potential investment opportunity for you. Or option three,
more risk for more potential return, is to invest in copper miners that are some of the biggest copper mines in the world are not in the United States. Some you can invest in those companies in the United States stock market to give you
or other countries in South America. Again, these generally come with more thinking like an investor. One of the things that I've learned in life is that attention to end up mattering the most. And that's why I want to talk to you
about life insurance with our sponsor Policygenius because if you don't have the assets to live off of yet, and something tragically happened to you, spouse and your family trying to struggle to survive financially, and
that's where term life insurance can come into play. Now, I'm talking about insurance. The whole idea with term life insurance is it's life insurance for a period of time, 10 years, 20 years, 30
years. That way you can work to build your assets. It is a lot cheaper than whole life insurance because the whole idea is you're not here trying to get rich off your life insurance. It's just there as a bridge until you can build
where the earlier you start, the cheaper it is. Because if you're a healthy get a half a million-dollar term life insurance policy for less than a dollar you want to learn more about term life insurance, or you want to see how much a
term life insurance policy would actually cost you, I'll put a link to description. It only takes a a minutes to complete, and it'll give you an actual quote on how much term life insurance will actually cost you and
description. So, what I talked about in this video is that every generation goes through some sort of transformative economic shift which changes where wealth is made. Back in the 1970s, it was with oil. In the 1990s, it was with
the internet. In the 2010s, it was cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. This creates economic and investment opportunity. But often times behind the scenes, there's some industry that's often boring that can also benefit that's not getting a
lot of the media attention. And now, that's often because of copper. The copper in pretty much every part of the economy. You need copper to build need copper for phones, and now we need copper for AI and data centers and
missiles and for the clean energy grid and the new energy grid. we're also seeing countries around the world like China working to stockpile their copper positions. Now, the United States is getting involved. President
Trump has working to put tariffs on copper. He's also launched a new project in order to stockpile certain metals and minerals like copper here in the United this competition globally for metals like copper. Now, copper again is so
every single part of our economy. It's not a jewelry thing. It's a economic entering, we're going to need more copper and because there's so much more demand for copper while the supply isn't keeping up and can't keeping up, some
people have been talking about how this could create a supply chain shortage of And so, this is why copper becomes so interesting and so important, especially changing so fast. And so, now the question is, well, what is this going to
mean for the future? Well, generally, if there is a shortage of something, then people that are producing that same thing, copper, can benefit. Again, this all depends on the usage of copper keep going up, and the prices of copper
associated with it, but this is where I want you to start thinking like an And then if you add tariffs on top of that, those same tariffs can also copper, which is good for copper producers. Now, am I telling you to go
out and buy copper or copper producers? No. I'm showing you how to think like an think. They want to understand where the understand that, now the question is how can you go out and actually invest your
money? And there are some ETFs out there. You can go out and invest in and invest in companies that are mining copper in foreign countries. Some come with more risk than others, but the idea here is this is how you can start
thinking like an investor. It's by understanding how the economy is shifting and where money is moving as a result. If you got value out of this So, if you could please share this video with a friend, family member, colleague,
