Oil is trading lower following a decline in Q1 US GDP, which has driven macroeconomic concerns and clouded demand outlook.

Seamus Rocca, CEO of Xapo Bank, called on cryptocurrency banks to position Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a viable alternative reserve currency to counter potential currency instability and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42028576/rfk-jr-stands-firm-on-bitcoin-as-currency-of-freedom-says-howard-lutnik-as-treasury-secretary-will-be-best-for-apex-crypto">capital controls in emerging markets</a>.
What Happened: In an interview with Benzinga, Rocca highlighted Bitcoin's unique attributes, its decentralized structure, finite supply and blockchain transparency as critical for shielding investors from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44955500/is-bitcoin-setting-up-for-a-rally-given-its-historical-correlation-with-gold">geopolitical and financial turbulence</a>.
Rocca argued that traditional safe-haven assets, such as U.S. Treasuries, have lost their risk-free allure due to a rapidly evolving global financial order. 
He pointed to Bitcoin's resilience, noting its faster recovery compared to traditional stocks following recent market downturns triggered by global trade uncertainties, including tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.
"In a world where stock markets crashed, yes, the Bitcoin price went down because of all the uncertainty that was out there. But Bitcoin bounced back faster than any of the stocks did," Rocca said, emphasizing its growing credibility as a store of value.
He further highlighted Bitcoin's potential to serve as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44977898/bitcoin-gold-are-top-inflation-hedges-says-coinbases-john-dagostino">hedge against currency devaluation</a> and restrictive capital controls, particularly in emerging markets where tariff-driven policies could exacerbate economic volatility.
"In a world of huge uncertainty, here's an asset that is not controlled by any government. Here's an asset that's completely decentralized, it's finite, and nobody can print more of it," Rocca stated, advocating for a long-term view of Bitcoin as a reserve currency rather than a speculative asset.

Why It Matters: Xapo Bank, which began as a Bitcoin wallet provider in 2013, has transformed into a fully regulated private bank based in Gibraltar, catering to high-net-worth individuals and long-term Bitcoin holders.
The bank offers a suite of services, including secure custody, borrowing against Bitcoin, yield generation through conservative investment strategies, and competitive trading options. 
Unlike crypto exchanges focused on short-term trading, Xapo targets clients who prioritize wealth preservation over speculative gains. 
Rocca noted that 25% of Xapo's customers are over 50, reflecting a demographic with a lower risk appetite seeking stable, secure Bitcoin management.
Rocca cautioned that Bitcoin's volatility and fragmented regulatory environments, particularly in the U.S., pose challenges to its widespread adoption as a reserve currency. 
In the U.S., state-by-state licensing requirements complicate operations for crypto banks, lacking the federal-level cohesion seen in regions like the European Economic Area. 
"If I get a license in New York, why does that not apply to all the other states?" Rocca questioned, highlighting the need for streamlined regulations to foster innovation without stifling the industry.
Despite these hurdles, Rocca remains optimistic about Bitcoin's trajectory, predicting it will shed its speculative reputation within the next few years. 
He emphasized Xapo's role in providing peace of mind through robust security measures, noting the bank's decade-long experience and millions invested annually in safeguarding client assets. 
This contrasts with the risks of self-custody, where a single error could lead to significant losses, especially as Bitcoin's value is projected to rise.
Critics, however, argue that Bitcoin's price swings and lack of universal regulatory clarity could undermine its reliability as a reserve currency, particularly in emerging markets prone to economic shocks. 
Additionally, the integration of Bitcoin into traditional banking systems remains complex, with large institutions hesitant to fully embrace decentralized assets due to competitive dynamics and trust issues.
Xapo's strategy aligns with a broader trend of institutional interest in Bitcoin, spurred by the success of Bitcoin ETFs from firms like BlackRock (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NASDAQ">BLK</a>) and Fidelity. 
What&#8217;s Next: Rocca sees crypto banks like Xapo bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized assets, offering services that appeal to clients building generational wealth.
"My view, this is what we're betting Xapo on, is that people will eventually take a long-term view of Bitcoin as a reserve currency," he said, reinforcing the bank's commitment to this vision.

The portfolio details shared by the investor showed his monthly dividend income was roughly $4,973.

51-Year-Old Making $4,970 a Month In Dividends Shares His Top 6 Stocks, Aims To 'Create Generational Wealth For Kids And Their Families'

Charlie Munger didn't spend his 99 years pretending life was easy. He spent them proving that hardship wasn't an obstacle to success — it was just part of the job description.
Before he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43441032/charlie-munger-praised-buffetts-20b-no-brainer-investment-in-japan-like-having-god-just-opening-a-chest-and-pouring-money-into-it">built his fortune alongside Warren Buffett</a>, Munger weathered heartbreak most would buckle under. In his 20s, he went through a divorce. Two years later, he lost his 9-year-old son, Teddy, to leukemia — back when the fatality rate was 100%. He would later lose the sight in one eye after a botched cataract surgery. And near the end of his life, after 52 years of marriage, he said goodbye to his beloved second wife, Nancy.

</ul>
And yet, Munger never treated suffering as an excuse to stall out. "The iron rule of life is: Everybody struggles," he said in a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/30/full-transcript-from-cnbcs-charlie-munger-a-life-of-wit-and-wisdom-.html">2023 interview with CNBC's Becky Quick</a>. "You can cry all right. But you can't quit."
Munger didn't deny the pain. He didn't dismiss the grief. He explained it plainly: life will knock you down — sometimes in ways you can't fix or undo — but the only real choice you have is to keep moving.&nbsp;
"If you soldier through, you can get through almost anything. And it's your only option," Munger said.&nbsp;
"You can't bring back the dead, you can't cure the dying child. You can't do all kinds of things," he continued. "You have to soldier through it. Somehow you soldier through. If you have to walk through the streets, crying for a few hours a day as part of the soldiering, go ahead and cry away. But… you can't quit."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Struggle Isn't a Bug — It's the System</h2>
Munger's entire life philosophy was built around one simple truth: bad things happen. And not just to the unlucky few — to everyone. Wealth, intelligence, connections — none of it gave you a pass.
He wasn't saying to hide your struggles. He was saying: don't let them take you out.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opportunity Doesn't Wait for a Perfect Day</h2>
Munger knew success wasn't about avoiding hardship — it was about recognizing opportunities in between the blows. "Lots of hardship will come and you gotta handle it well by soldiering through," he said. "And lots of – a few rare opportunities will come. You got to learn how to recognize them when they come and not make too minor of a trip to the pie counter when the opportunity is available."
In short: life's not fair, but if you spend all your time mourning the losses, you'll miss the wins.

Munger practiced what he preached. Even as friends upgraded to mansions and luxury living, he stayed grounded — choosing a steady, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44546263/charlie-munger-lived-in-the-same-house-for-70-years-and-thought-fancy-homes-just-make-people-miserab">simple life over status symbols</a>. "I still decided not to live a life where I look like the Duke of Westchester or something," he said. The reason? It wasn't about austerity — it was about not spoiling the next generation. "You <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43759618/charlie-munger-said-the-hardest-part-of-getting-rich-is-the-first-100000-but-from-there-it-snowballs-and-you-can-ease-off-the-gas">grow up in a rich family</a>, your duty is to use the wealth and live grandly. That is what everyone is doing with the money. You will learn from people who are doing it," he warned.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Second Chances — Just This Life</h2>
Munger's blunt worldview wasn't a call to bitterness. It was a blueprint for endurance. Bad days come. So do gut-wrenching losses. But the only thing that really counts, in business and in life, is whether you stay in the fight.

<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>

The teen worried that if he revealed the truth, his mother, whom he described as "very traditional," would shut down his operation. He shared that he had kept everything secret, even from his closest friends.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dave Ramsey&#8217;s Initial Reaction</h2>
Ramsey was surprised by the caller's achievements. "You&#8217;re making $50,000 a month at 16 years old?" he asked, confirming the story. After hearing more details, Ramsey acknowledged the young entrepreneur's unusual success.
&#8220;If you were my son and you were doing this and you told me you don&#8217;t want to go to college and you want to move out and be an entrepreneur, I would say &#8216;Have at it, dude,'&#8221; Ramsey said. However, he also cautioned that internet business trends can change quickly and advised the teen to be mindful that the current opportunity likely isn't a sustainable job that will last years into his future.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Advice on Honesty and Planning for the Future</h2>
While Ramsey praised the teen&#8217;s drive and success, he also expressed concern about the secrecy. &#8220;Deception is never a good rule,&#8221; Ramsey said, encouraging the caller to find a trusted person who both he and his mother respect — possibly a pastor or mentor — to help mediate a conversation where he could tell his mother about his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44867766/entrepreneur-earns-40000-per-month-and-only-works-30-minutes-each-day-its-about-the-experience">entrepreneurial success</a>.&nbsp;
Ramsey suggested the teen take time, even up to a month, to build a strategy for telling his mom the full story. Rather than continue hiding the business, involving a trusted third party could help make the discussion more constructive.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Education Still Matters</h2>
Although Ramsey said the teen doesn't necessarily need a college degree to succeed, he emphasized the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42932626/billionaire-mark-cuban-on-college-costs-pick-the-cheapest-school-you-can-find-its-about-learning-not-prestige">value of education</a> for long-term success. He explained that internet businesses can be volatile, and building a strong foundation of business knowledge could help the teen pivot when opportunities shift.

Ramsey also warned that early success, if not paired with ongoing learning and growth, could lead to challenges later in life. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want you to have an unusual success at a young age, and it's the only time you have success,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Takeaways</h2>
Ramsey's advice balanced celebrating the caller's extraordinary success with offering caution about the future. His key messages: be honest with family, continue learning, and recognize that business opportunities can change over time.
While making $50,000 a month at 16 is a remarkable achievement, maintaining long-term success will require smart planning — both financially and personally.
