Interviews

Discussion on Stablecoins and Banking

In an August 2025 discussion on his YouTube channel, Jun interviewed Jeong Gu-tae, author of Stablecoins: Money Reset. They addressed the rapid legalization of stablecoins and the sense of threat it created for banks. Under the Trump administration, stablecoins were viewed as a tool to strengthen the dominance of the U.S. dollar, leading to an emphasis on their stability. The conversation compared Circle and Tether, highlighting the importance of domestically issued stablecoins and differences in regulatory environments, noting that Tether faced restrictions for failing to meet U.S. regulations. It also stressed the reduced volatility of stablecoins and the need for collateral forms based on legal tender. Looking ahead, concerns were raised about how the spread of digital currencies could affect existing financial systems. As a result, stablecoins were seen as having the potential to break down boundaries between traditional financial institutions and IT companies, creating a new financial ecosystem that could threaten the influence of established banks. ^[2]

Insights on Bitcoin

In another segment from August 2025, Jun interviewed Kang Seung-gu, the Deputy CEO of Uproot Company, to analyze the investment thesis for Bitcoin. Kang articulated that Bitcoin is undergoing a significant transition in its market perception, shifting from being a purely speculative instrument to becoming a recognized store of value within the traditional financial system. This shift is supported by increasing adoption and recognition from global corporations, which are beginning to integrate Bitcoin into their operations or hold it as a treasury asset.

Addressing concerns about the asset's historical price volatility, Kang projected a significant potential for growth in Bitcoin's value over the next decade. He also commented on the state of the market in South Korea, noting that while domestic demand for Bitcoin has been relatively limited compared to other regions, it is expected to increase as regulatory clarity improves and institutional infrastructure further develops. The discussion framed Bitcoin not just as a currency but as an evolving financial asset class with long-term potential. ^[4]

Presentations

Nvidia Earnings Forecast

In August 2025, Jun visited the Denny’s restaurant where Nvidia founder Jensen Huang started the company and discussed expectations for Nvidia’s earnings. He noted that while revenue growth has recently slowed, the company’s growth potential and outlook for future performance remain significant. Ahead of the earnings announcement, lower growth compared to past rates was expected. Still, the expansion of the AI industry and rising demand for data centers were cited as reasons for optimism. The discussion also highlighted the importance of physical AI and the potential for continued demand for Nvidia’s GPUs, with anticipation about what surprising information might emerge in the upcoming announcement. ^[3]
