 Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Tuesday live stream. So this is the second day of the week of pretty much really good news I and I think I understand what you may be pondering You're probably thinking yourself Did I miss out and just like the thumbnail and title suggest no no you do not So we're gonna take a look at today is of course a little price action in the beginning I'm gonna go back to my roots and talk about the market because everybody seems to seems to love that and Myself included. I like to see these green days because everybody's happy. It's fantastic. It's like It's like living in Texas when the Dallas Cowboys win not a big Cowboys fan But when everybody wins, I'm like, hey, this is good news and this is a win for us today Look bitcoins over 57k Frames at 3200 B&B's I mean almost $400, but it's a seven day at 13% and on and on we go and of course these prices are crazy Right, they're insane How does this go up so fast and how can we have a market cap of? 2.2 trillion dollars on the on our way to 2.3 and is this it's no this isn't it and Actually put this out this morning And I said right now you are probably thinking to yourself Did I miss the boat is this it because you know with these kind of price action? I mean how the heck could we ever you know go up from here is this maybe this is the top It's the same Thinking in the bear market in the bear market nothing will ever turn around and it's the worst thing of all time And it's just awful and nothing will actually appreciate because the market sucks And then when everything goes sideways, everybody's like this will be the same thing for the next 20 years They're just gonna be sideways and it's gonna be brutal and we're just gonna stick around and that's it We get to the bull market. We're like this is fantastic. Everything's going up But maybe this the top I'm really worried. It's not it's not but I did put this out And I had a lot of responses, you know, I said like I said look relax relax You did the best you possibly could right all the things that you bought along the way when everybody was laughing at you And your friends were like why are you doing this? And maybe you're significant other was like hey I noticed the bank count this went to Coinbase and maybe this a little bit went to this exchange Why'd you do that? I thought we talked about this you have a problem And then before you know it you're like, okay, who's got the problem now see these price Appreciation of what's going on and everything's looking pretty good. So everybody's happy But then you think to yourself, could I have done more? No, you couldn't done more You did everything that you were supposed to do you front ran The largest institution in the entire planet black rock with their 10 trillion assets under management or whatever else it is So just kick back and like yeah, I did what I was supposed to do I did my job. It wasn't easy and I'm pretty happy like that. So just get used to this feeling It's gonna be a little bit bumpy Nothing goes in a straight line and just get ready to be accommodating to all the friends who are laughing at you Who will now be calling you asking for financial advice Unbelievable, but here's the proof. I was talking about we're nowhere near where we should be We're just in the beginning stages quite honestly and I know people have been saying like I'm stopping dollar-cost averaging I'm not gonna buy anything else because what's the point? This is it Not so much. So it's a couple things. I want to show you First of all, this is this is Ben's we all know this has been site into the cryptoverse, right? And what I want to show you is this is a social metric risk Which is YouTube views and I want to show you I don't really like doing this, but It has to be done The views that digital asset news and actually mice my YouTube channel started all the way back Actually was it was November 2019, but I had so few views. No one really it doesn't even register On this site, but just look at this and we can see that the views Around February 2020 which if we look at the four-year cycles, right? That was the halving year just like 2024 is a having year That's about right now And I had 28,000 views and of course time has changed, you know But then and then of course it really went down here in March and the surveys of sickness and everything cratered off But then after the halving my views went up quite crazy just like crazy because the narrative was there I know people don't believe in the some people don't believe in the four-year cycles the narrative of You know the Bitcoin halving, but it's real and it's true and it happens The having was May 11th 2020 My views from there went from roughly 29 It tripled to 90 and then of course we had some sideways action things went up and I took little breaks here and there But then as we got it to here views started to really skyrocket and they really topped out Per day. I was getting over a hundred thousand views in 2021. That's February and then March and a little bit April Then May and so on and so forth and then right now. Where are we? Pretty much the same thing as we've been before actually. I'm losing views a little bit now Let's take that and take a look at coin bureau and overlay that. Oh, this isn't good coin bureau crushes everybody pretty much and You can see that the metrics themselves I mean like did you know at one point me and guy start out the same time frame? Look at that. We have the same amount of views. What the heck happened. Well like ability probably and Just doing a much better job of Research than what I did and we can see again that of course like as far as like price action in the views You can see that it was a quite a different story I mean his went way higher, but then what happened now look where he's at right over here So like if we're taking a look at the social metric risk I don't think we've really gone anywhere And then there's another one that I really wanted to To take a peek at which I think is we'll hit home with mortal people and that's just the general terms, which is google There's a website trends.google.com links in the description And you can take a look at the interest for bitcoin Over time and what I wanted to show you is that now this isn't going to show you The search the search volume of the term bitcoin What it's showing you is the amount of interest over a continuum of time Where a hundred as big as the top and zero was absolutely no interest Bitcoin in this nice continuum over a year actually topped in the beginning of january because of obviously The etfs right but guess what we're at right now We are here We're half of the interest than what we had before people don't realize what's going on I mean they heard about an etf and they were happy like oh, that's cute But they pretty much were like whatever and they did something else right Because the interest over time is according to google is quite low Now let's take a look over the last five years, which would include the last cycle Now if we take a look at that the interests again Well, because we've actually elongated that the interest right now is very low 23 And the interest that we had an all-time high for those etfs, which you think would be much higher Was only like a 40 36 somewhere around there and if we come over here, we can see that in all honesty We topped out Four years well three years ago in 2021 And we had a lot more interest and a lot more people here than over that So what does that mean for you? What really what it means for you is this Is that I know when people will look at this and they'll look at the price action I'll say themselves well, this is it because you know, why would I Invest anything more into it and I can't give you financial advice to tell you what to do I can just tell you what i'm doing Just like it was the last time In the last cycle, I remember the same thing being said I remember the same thing being said, which was this is pretty much it You know, we're gonna go sideways for a bit and then we'll we'll catch a little bit of peace and we'll go up But if you didn't get in, you know a year ago Then you're screwed and then that's it and I remember thinking myself Well, I mean maybe it is I'll just keep dollar cost averaging because I was dollar cost averaging there I'm gonna dollar cost average here. I still think we have a little bit of room to grow And it actually worked out So again, if you think you missed out, I don't think you did let me understand about that in the comment section and then There's also something interesting, which is uh grayscale is slowing down This is my favorite chart that I try not to screw up every time bit next research And this is in dollars. I learned that a couple days ago But uh, it's just interesting to note that uh, we were just at five billion Something five and a half billion now we're at six billion the total spot etf And what I want you to notice is that This column on the far right the grayscale column today Is the lowest outflows grayscale has had in the entire time Of when the spot etf started and we thought You know like well in the very beginning 95 95 million would be a lot, but uh, that wasn't the case. I think their highest point Was around 500 yeah almost 600 million in one day outflows, which is the third day Or the third trading day of the etf And as of yesterday 26th of february it was the lowest day So it seems like they're running out of steam if you take a look here It went I mean there was a big jump here 200, but then It went on thursday to 55 on friday to 44 And just yesterday only 22 million and we can scroll over here to see who are the big players. Well Black rock in the first section here is 111 million, but look at fidelity 243 million Which again gives us a nice A half a billion dollars in one day Is that the most? Wow, that's actually the second largest day of inflows since the very beginning of the trade Which is 11th of january 2024 And remember I think people were calling for that, uh, you know, it wasn't going to really pick up like that But here we are I still personally think that people are behind the times of waiting to get in could be wrong We'll see but that also leads me to micro strategy Just on uh on the 25th. What was that? Just as a sunday. It's kind of weird Well, not really Micro strategy has acquired an additional 3 000 bitcoin for 155 million an average price of 51 000 as of february 25th Today is the 27th, right 2726 wait. That's what's great about Sailor picking up bitcoin. He doesn't have to wait for the ETFs to open up. It's not traditional finance He just goes the exchanges goes right to coinbase picks up whatever he wants to Sells whenever he wants to which he hasn't sold, you know anything now But can do whatever he wants to in whatever time and that's the power and beauty Of a exchange and not waiting for traditional finance. So That's happening right now and I got me to think about this. Did you know that every day there's 900 bitcoin that's being mined? That's it 900 bitcoin So right now you got michael sailor swallowing up 3 000 bitcoin You got the ETF swallowing up bitcoin. You got us doing our little minnow games of dollar cross averaging buying things up. I think this is uh A really great time actually to be in in crypto and digital assets and bitcoin more specifically, but I also thought about this If bitcoin is doing this and bitcoin is a proxy for micro strategy stock, how are they doing? as far as with Their stock and then I thought to myself because they're growing so fast How far away are they from being included in the s&p 500? Think about that micro strategy s&p 500 Check this out The s&p 500 to become part of the index of stock must meet the criteria including having a market cap of 14 and a half billion or more Other key requirements must have a primary listing and be subject to u.s. Security laws That's that will be micro strategy because they are a publicly traded company And uh, guess what? They're worth 14.7 billion so I don't know if they're already listed on the s&p 500 correct me in the comment section But uh, how great would that be? if micro strategy Muscles its way into the s&p 500 And is there and becomes a contributing factor For the increase Of the valuation of the s&p and they can point to one and one thing only because let's be honest It's not like micro strategy stock skyrocketed because It did some fantastic new thing in its company The fantastic new thing was investing into bitcoin not to take anything from michael sailor and what his business does I don't know if they would have hit 14.7 billion dollars without being a proxy for bitcoin So that is good news and again one more thing to look positive if you have on it and uh To finish this up with this moon boy session that I keep to seems like i'm going into i'm sorry There's just once he gets on a good day sometimes you just got to kind of kind of roll with it But i'm sure there's some some bad news on the horizon trust me nothing goes up forever But uh, this was from crypto t And I found it interesting because i'm always saying how you know these these cycles They are essentially the same thing over and over again, but she made a good point And she states and you can follow her at crypto t on x She says this cycle is different because the bitcoin etf people can't swap to altcoins and I thought about that And I said, yeah, she's absolutely right. I mean they people can swap to altcoins From an etf. It's a heck of a lot more difficult Especially if they're trad fi people and they probably hear the same stuff from everybody else which And the same thing for me too, which is you know, 99 of crypto is uh is a scam and worthless Even I say that so they probably will look at this and go maybe I'll just hold on to bitcoin because it's going to be great But it is a good point and then it really comes to think about. Well, what about altcoin season? I don't think we even touched on that yet But we'll see but it's something to ponder something to think about I still think the altcoins can run But uh, who knows how much it could be is things are being trapped into the bitcoin etf Anyhow, let me just think about that and then to finish this up There was an article or a piece from coin gecko. I know people like to talk about airdrops I do myself who doesn't like free money But uh this little piece if you're into airdrops or if these come it was a it was a good retrospective analysis But take a look at when to sell your airdrops and what they found out was that 50 percent of the time if you sell within two weeks, that's the best time other than that You kind of get screwed So it says here one's the best time to sell airdrops airdrops to be the best to be we have within 14 days and here's some data airdrops taking their tokens that reach their highest price returns in the short term include Uh ethereum name service well 73 by day two and you'll notice something about this The numbers date the second day 73 by day two And that's I think like a lot of listings especially on dexes When you get into dexes and start to look at listing it seems like they'll they'll go They'll go straight scary crazy in the first couple of hours 24 maybe 48, but then you'll always not always but most of the time see him drop off But something happened with the en s x2 y2 did 121 by day two blur 90 in six days looks rare almost 200 in day 10 and then arbidoge Whatever the heck that is did 4x by two weeks And then other ones include jido, which would be the salana dex did 43% and by day two when Another meme coin essentially airdrop on salana did 37% by day three 75% by day 10 for dimensions and all this stuff, but then it breaks it down that Day of the airdrop within seven days you have stuff like this No, excuse me the day of the airdrop We have stuff like icp Whatever the heck that is day two to seven I don't except for jido. I don't know what that is. I don't know what these are eight of 14 Okay, this is where it gets interesting 15 to day 100. You got ape coin I can see that pith which is uh The oracle and salana. I think this is the graph not mistaken correct me in the comments and then x But then look at these ones right here osmosis Optimism one inch celestia bonk Arbitrum uniswap Those are Long-term plays day 101 onwards So again, you can make some pretty good gains in the short term But I don't know how much that is trash But some of these are actually good and actually will do things but you have to hold on to them for a while But if you're just here for a for a short quick dip, this would be the way to go and then also as far as alts Of course on our second channel dan dejen. We just talked about a project called alvara, which essentially is a d-fi hedge fund And I thought we'd do pretty well. I didn't know it was going to do this well, but it sold out in under four minutes Yeah So that was the idea looks like it'll be on uniswap on the fourth of march And I just wanted to tell everybody that be careful what this one because like I just said because the initial listing Which would be fourth of march It's a fair launch. Remember that these decks is when they start They start off hot and heavy, but then people get dumped on like crazy. So just being honest That's usually what happens. So be careful And that will conclude it for those pieces now. We'll jump into a little q&a. Oh also one more thing I'd like to welcome a new sponsor to the show Uh, which would be Harry's razors Harry's razors I know people will think that's an odd That's an odd thing. Why would why would rob? Have harry's razors as a sponsor the show. It's very easy Because it's safe everybody needs razors It's only eight bucks. You get a razor and a gel and you can start that right now There's a link in the description. You can check it out And I think it's a little bit safer than uh, you know having like uh affiliates for like Oh, I don't know like some crazy exchange out there Or some crazy other crypto market type of thing that could be a rug pull So I'll stick with the razors anyhow if you want to check that out. It's only eight bucks They work pretty well and uh, that's it. And yeah, yeah, even though I got a beard I still got to trim up here. That's it for today. So look If you like today's video give it a thumbs up consider subscribing. Everybody talk about his time sensitive Now if you want like to uh, stick around a little q&a We'll I'll answer all your questions the best of my abilities and we'll go from there all right John Velasquez says I think old spice be better sponsored. Nobody uses old spice. My dad used old spice No one uses that anymore, but it could be I don't know Of all the days for beardy not to be here. I know A master blog I love I love those razors too. They're great. They come right to your doorstep Ah, yeah Got to use the link. Well, you don't have to use a link like look that link there You just go to hair's razors and don't use it, but you don't get that discount. So Whatever you want to do Chris Birkin says some people like being dumped on what are you gonna do? It's true I don't know why Uniswap is doing revenue sharing Yeah, yeah, well They there's a proposal to go through that is not as far as I know been voted on Correct me in the comments But that just got put out. I think on sunday So we'll see if it passes. I think it will pass then you'll have revenue sharing for uniswap holders The question that I have is how the heck are they going to get around? Uh, security laws I know people will say well, it's a decentralized exchange. Well, that is true, but When you have American holders, I don't know It's not for me to decide it's for them to figure out Dan McCartney says hey, robert. Appreciate your concept. What are your thoughts on the left adjusted cycle theory? So, uh This is a theory that was put out by bob lucas And if you don't watch bob lucas, he's a very interesting individual He's made some right calls made some wrong calls. He'll admit that And what he's talking about essentially to the left side to adjust the theory is that we're not going to see a blow off top in 2025 We're going to see it in 2024 It won't be as spectacular as 2025, but we're going to see a massive run up to potentially 200 000 bitcoin I personally despise Price predictions. I think they're worthless and I think everybody who does them is wrong Uh, nobody I mean, maybe somebody gets it right, but majority people get it wrong. I'm not saying anything about bob lucas. He's talking about ta Go from there um I personally think that uh I'm very happy If it does hit 200k or if it goes to 500k And it's not a left-sided cycle theory. I think it could happen because if we take a look at it How far ahead are we right now? As opposed to the last cycle we are way ahead I wouldn't be surprised if we hit 69k Before the halving and that has never happened. We have never had an all-time high Of the previous cycle that we hit before the halving It just has not happened and if it does happen now, I'm like, okay This cycle is very different But we've taken a look at it and it's actually is is quite different Just taking a look from the last all-time highs to the next halving. I want to go over that again, but um, I think what for me It's great for me because I really can't lose here We actually we can't lose if you're here right now. You've done like we said, we've done the hard work you've you've You you've bought you know a ton of crypto probably and you You probably shouldn't have bought so much you bunch of D gens, but you did it And that's okay. That's actually good for you Ah, I don't think you can the only way the issue that we can lose here is if at some point Actually, I can't say we I mean some people will say no no no I'm gonna hold on forever And it could work out actually but uh, I will probably be taking profits and if it uh, especially when picycle top hits Definitely taking profits there when we get into those risk bands a 0.85 and above definitely taking profits there And I'll have my hodl bag of 20 of my total portfolio just sitting around waiting for the blow off top So roughly if it is a left-sided cycle shift I'll take profits through there And then if it doesn't happen and it just goes like you know normal or you know, it just doesn't happen in 2025 I did my I did my job But if it does take off good news, I got 20 percent I can do whatever with and it's probably bought it'll probably out do what I did with the 80 percent but who knows so I Kind of happy either way Let's hope so Jay says 1 12k. I don't know I really did I did think at some point that bitcoin could go to 12k remember when it went to 15 it was like 15,770 Correct me But I think that's that was the lowest for this cycle And I said well 1 to 15 7 I think it go to 12k Maybe I was like me. I don't know if I even said 10k, but it didn't hit 12k But I was like I always said the same thing It could go to 12k and I'd be very happy with that because That means it's cheaper for me and I just would dollar cost average That was it It's like, uh I am not a genius I'm just stubborn and that's it Jesus Martinez is here Like for a like Jesus I saw you with the export people good people and I saw you drilling them with questions. You got to do that. It was great Uh, if you guys don't know there is uh, Jesus Martinez formally of classic games Now just uses his correct name, which is I think a brilliant move And uh, he had the guys from export over the talking about Web three how that plays into esports and then their digital ids essentially across different spectrums for the web three universe and uh Just to be transparent. I also invested into export so The reason why I was I was excited is because I was like great. Jesus is pumping my bags. This is fantastic Hey, at least I'm honest, but yeah, good job. Jesus. Thanks for having those on Oh, and then also Jesus has been mining for two months now. I don't know how you do it I never got into to mining I know like, uh A bunch of people here have been mine. I just never got could get into it. Hopefully it worked out probably did Richie says, uh But I'm glad you're a Zeus. It's always good to see you buddy Pull back could be 60 a k next cycle. Cool. Sure. Anything's up. Anything can happen Has peter shift shifted yet? No there's just people who are just gonna Yell at this yell at the moon. They don't they just cannot let go Uh, let's see What do you think about the zephyr protocol? It's a Monero fork with a private stable coin Do anything about it? But like I've always said they'll probably do great Bic or the uh bull market usually things do fantastic because it's all about hype and speculation That's really what it comes down to I'm not a very popular opinion or what people like to say. They all all you have to say about utility utility utility But it's not It's a it's a factor the catacombs Bully too. Mr. Yeah, this isn't it doesn't feel right to be this bullish this early. That's for sure. I just You know a lot of bullishness. I should have should have thrown on a negative article But it's very hard to find I don't know should have talked about Putin and talking about world war three and nato and And the advancement of troops. That's what I should have done I would have hopefully brought everybody back down to earth Mike says how long did it take you to see youtube success? like, uh I don't know what success like, uh, I think the biggest six I remember the day that I did a live stream And uh, there was more than uh, there was more than 10 people. I was like, this is awesome And uh, it's good because I got more than my family just listening to me on crypto. That was probably the big day After that it's all a blur I can tell you the lows of Of youtube it was coming on here and talking and telling everybody that celsius collapsed And the second one which was two weeks later to tell everybody that voyager collapsed And uh, those were the hardest I don't really think too much about the success. I always think about the screw-ups more than anything else and uh, I always try to Make sure I'd never forget those which is not hard to do Uh, but those are the ones that really drive me more than anything else So I don't screw up as much as I used to and I don't I'd be more cautious and um, I try to remind people constantly About the things of what they should and maybe shouldn't do and talk about the rules the tepid thing Yeah It's a good question rob one is jerry hall going to be on again. I need to I need to text him as a matter of fact. I'll do this right. I'll do right after this one Amy johnson softball now the bear now the bull market is here. Amy's here. I was here. Yeah, we were all here Hey, see I remember talking. Yeah, man those These rugs wormhole attacks and everything else in between. I remember these days and that's why like Oh Crypto is a great platform. It's a great It's going to revolutionize everything but uh to get there is a lot of heartache A lot of heartache Reason I don't have to defy don't blame you Luna I remember that thank god didn't talk about that That was another horrible one Jerry v. Hall Not Mick Jagger's girlfriend. Yes Now man, this channel helped me through the bear. That's all That's what this channel is really good for right? I think That's what helps right no one needs a pep talk in the in the bull market. Do they like hey congratulations Bitcoin hit xyz You did a good job of going 20 up in a week not knowing what the hell you're doing No one needs me for that. No one needs anybody for that. I think everybody just needs A little pep talk here and there in the bear. That's what really I think helps and then of course, I think what really helps is Because I don't know what the next scam is. I don't know what the next shoot a drop is but I know it's how it's going to happen It happens all in every single bill run. I don't know what the next Voyager Celsius block by Mount gox I don't know what it is, but it's going to happen and I think that's That's the thing to watch out for Pep talks are always awesome. It's true Com demeanor plus your bag. It's a nice. It is a good green screen probably one of the best Except for digital Dave. It's the only one guy. I despise that guy because he has the best green screen It looks like he's in Thailand. Don't let him fool you He's in his mom's basement Yep Those five are green screens. They're pretty good What do you think about say? I think my cool wallet. I like my cool wallet What do you think about say, uh, I don't own it. I haven't really looked into it I know people are really bullish on it. And again, we'll probably do great I should probably pick some up but remember guys I got over I think now probably over 80 different cryptos. I mean, there's only so much that I can really absorb I am the top 100 essentially and that's not true I have a lot of that are in like the 300s and 400s and 500s. I got things that aren't even listed yet Crazy, I know Michael says this cycle is massively different than previous. There's any question of that. It is definitely different We'll see what all plays out We are way ahead of schedule And I like it the fact that we're way ahead as a part as a you know as far as price appreciation And also sentiment It seems like if you take away The elizabeth warrens of the world and the gary genslers of the world um well and it calls claus schwaab and the uh Yeah, probably those guys There's pretty positive sentiment that I see and feel around uh bitcoin and crypto and digital assets like I remember in 2017 The whole thing was and then even in 2021 it was all about electricity and how much we were using we were screwing up the planet And now that you don't hear as much. I mean remember that esg scam that was going, you know Even black rock was a part of that and for some reason they got they're like, you know, maybe we shouldn't Talk about the esg part. Let's go into bitcoin and then look here. We are So yeah, I think we're way ahead of these way ahead of things which just makes me quite happy Ah, that's right christine legard her Now I want some amethyst red sigh is just you get some of the top 100 Layer one solution. I believe But I don't own it. So I don't really know much about it And uh, that's it again on this channel bias. I only talk about things that I know For the most part I can't wait till people start saying what's this bitcoin thing everybody's talking about after it passes 100k. So I can dump on them. Yeah Yeah, exactly. We talked about this. I think we're it's it everybody. I think uh, we've answered everybody's question. Oh, um before we take off Taxes everybody's least favorite subject and the ones that gives me the most ear and Growns from my audience, but taxes are kind of important and we're going to have registered crypto CPA and The founder of coin ledger on thursday. That'll be at 2 p.m. Eastern time 11 a.m Pacific that'll be on thursday after we do the nfa live show which is on guys channel on thursday over at coin bureau So we'll do that bring all your questions, especially the questions that you know You talk about you know, what happens with the voyager and the celsius. Can I claim that as losses? What does it actually means? What about air drops? What about You know when i'm staking things and I get those rewards. How does that work out? And everything in between and we'll answer all your questions so we can get all ready to go because look we've got A month and a half before taxes are due if you haven't done them already, you know This is it Time to get ready And do those things And that's all all right, buddy So thanks much for stopping by appreciate you like today's video If you just hit the thumbs up on the way out that'd be great and then we'll see you guys on the next one See you. Bye
