In this YouTube short, the speaker asserts that the transition to a tokenized, on‑chain financial system is already underway and will occur dramatically faster than past financial infrastructure rollouts. He likens the shift to an earthquake, warning that a sudden, full reveal would overwhelm people. By contrasting the SWIFT messaging system—conceived in 1973 but not operational until 1977, a four‑year rollout—with today’s tokenization of real‑world assets, he predicts a four‑month timeline for widespread on‑chain adoption. He emphasizes that this is not merely a funding‑friendly trend but a serious, rapid move toward on‑chain finance.

I'd say the shift has already happened. I mean, it'd be like an earthquake if you just reveal it all at once. People can't handle that stuff. So month 1 of 4, in my opinion. You know, previous era of finance, let's say SWIFT banking formed in 1973, didn't send out the first message until '77, 4 years later. So in this new economy, this new shift, tokenization, real-world assets, virtually anything on-chain in on-chain finance, not RWA-Fi, not funding-friendly, but serious, that I think 4 months instead of 4 years is what I'm saying. I've been saying that for a while.
