 that's what I'm here for. Everybody needs a punching bag. Let's get into it. All right, happy Sunday. Many baby doge. If you trust doge, use your delusion money. Look, I'm telling you guys, look at this. And I put this information in my group, my private group, which if you know, you know, if you don't know, you don't know. Sorry. But I want to show you something. Let's see. I'm going to use Ben's site because it's like stealing all this information. And under tools, DCA simulation. No, no, no, no. Let's just put in dogecoin, 100 bucks a week. I want to go back to let's make it even Steven, 2015, May 1st. I know this is going to be kind of skewed. Actually, you know what? Yeah, it's okay. So look at this. If you're DCing, and again, dogecoin, I think it was in 2014 came out. Let's stick with 2015. You put in 100 bucks in doge. You'd actually be up quite a bit at a lot of the time. You're invested 1200 on July, you're at 1430. It's pretty good. 2015. Oh, that was the reset year. That's a pretty good year. So yeah, 17. And let's just say you just do that 100 bucks a week, which is a lot of money to put into some kind of crazy meme coin, but whatever. And then look at this. So let's just this was roughly the high, right? You would invest at $13,900, which is a lot of money. And then doge would have been at $520,000 if you could sell it at the top. I don't think you can. I'll be honest with you. So there's just that. But the numbers get even crazier. And I don't want to put all these numbers together because it's just ridiculous to say that. But let's just go to 2018. So remember that number, roughly half a million. Okay, let's go 2018. February 1st, when everything started to crash, right? Yeah. So again, you're down here. Because usually when meme coins don't last this long. So doge at 100 bucks coming around here. What the heck? I don't know why it does this. This must be something in the cookies. Okay, that's better. Doge 100 bucks. Don't pay attention to the lump sum doge. I didn't put $25,000 in there. And yeah. So along this time, you'd be underwater because the year after the all-time high is the worst time the dollar cost average. Trust me, I know. I've done it twice in a row so far. And let's see. So you're underwater, you're underwater. You invested $7,100. You have $6,100 worth. You're just playing the long game. You should doge the moon. I'm a doge coin millionaire or whatever. And then you do this and it just all happens like all at once. So you invested $16,000 and then you have $44,000. If you go over here to the very top of this cycle, again, the same type of thing, investing $100, you're going to have $3.2 million. Is this going to happen again? Probably not. Let's be honest. But it is interesting that in the first cycle that we just took a look at, which is when a lot of the gains are made. In the earlier years, if we take a look at Bitcoin, Ethereum and things like that, if we move forward, doge even did even better in this last cycle that we did. So I just found it interesting. That's all I can tell you. And that's it. All right. Question. Doge the moon. That's a good, I'm going to have to steal this. Very good, he who controls the money controls the narrative. I'm trying to take over the world. That's pretty much it. It's all narratives. That's the thing. That's why right now, I don't think the narrative is for a blow off top to happen. I think the narrative right now is recession, recession, recession, grinding sideways. Of course, that's the time when I like to invest. I don't know about you. So yeah. And then the narrative, and again, this is what we talked about yesterday, the narrative moving forward around April 2024 is all going to be about, there's this thing it's called the Bitcoin having. And then it's a supply shock and it's going off the exchanges and people are buying a lots of it. We don't understand why and there was an ETF and if they didn't get approved, but the same narrative, it'll move forward. Like I said before, it doesn't matter if the BlackRock, Fidelity, ARC, any of them, they get approved or not for the ETF. It's the narrative that pushes, I think, these things forward. It'd be nice if there was an ETF, but there's also that risk of them shorting the heck out of it. And you can do naked shorting in a spot ETF. I'm not a big shorter, but that's what they tell me. So paper Bitcoin games. Yes, exactly right. Jay Sons, I think doge lit $20. Who knows? All you got to do is just say, well, if Elon's got it stuck in his head, that doge is great. I'm not here to correct him. Have a way out of Elon. Have fun. And then just watch the price go up. Tell him we'll flip. I did not check Luxo. Something about metaverse and NFTs and great stuff going on. Not for sure. Sure. It sounds great. And that's the thing about crypto and investing. There was a quote, financial investments are like buses. If you don't like the investment in front of you, don't worry. There's one coming right around the corner. So that's pretty much crypto on a shell. But the question is what bus are you going to take? The one that shiny and sleek and get you there safely or the broken now one sucks and you might crash and burn. It's your destination. That's just how it is. Richard Branson said that. Yes. Robert says, the money you can't afford to lose by Bitcoin. At least tell it reach 36K. Hey, on this channel, I'm just here to tell you, Bitcoin go to zero. I think I'm obligated to say that. I don't think it's really going to happen, but it could. EMP attack could happen. Nuclear war could happen. Aliens could happen. I don't know. Robert says, how much, how much doge was circling at a time? Much less. Yeah, true. It is pretty inflationary, even though Elon likes to talk about it. Is it disinflationary? But it doesn't matter. People will still buy it up crystal ball. Robert says, doge will never hit it's all time high again. Robert, you are really not too positive on doge. I can, I get your drift. Bitcoin on some after having very true. Tim Allen says, if you should only invest what you can afford to lose, what are you supposed to do with the money you can't afford to lose? It's very simple. You pay your bills and you pay your debts. That's the most basic thing I can tell you. That is financial advice. Pay your bills. It's kind of important to do that. If you have a credit card, it got awful 12, 20%. You need to pay that down first. That's not something to mess with. Also, I am under the impression that you should have at least six months to a year back up if something happens to you and your job and your health. These are the things that you need to do beforehand. That's just old, tiny advice. Go from there. Great question, Rob. How's your knee treating you these days? Like a baby treats a diaper. I got a bum right knee. It kind of sucks, but I use the knees over toes guy. I don't know if you guys know that guy. Great program. It helps. We'll see. Very tough when I'm playing sand volleyball, but what can you do? Ethan says, you think polka dot is a good long-term investment? Sure. I invested in that. I dollar-cost average it. I don't do it every day. Like some of the other ones we talked about yesterday, but I still do buy it. Exactly. Are you still bullish on that? Sure. Why not? That looks like a pretty good project. Could do pretty well. Yeah. Amp and anchor. Yeah. Hope and anchor. Amp and anchor. I saw this. You think Bitcoin will go to 180,000 on April 24th. I want to tell everybody about these predictions. They're ridiculous. And they're really there to get you in the mindset of, first of all, it's hope, which is great. We all need hope to get to the next level, right? I'm not going to say you should have no hope and crush your dreams and stomp your hearts. But when you start to hear about these numbers specifically, like 180,000, it gets into your psyche and you're like, okay, wait, wait, wait. Let's just say that Bitcoin does go above 100K in April 2024. That's around the halving. I think we're looking at April 17th. Because 100,000, you're like, cool, 100,000. Well, I got 80,000 more to go because that's what it is. It's a weird thing. Even me, I get sucked into this. And you think to yourself, well, there's way more room to grow. However, you take a look at a site like, I'll show you, there's two, obviously you use Ben's in the cryptoverse, but there's another website, look into Bitcoin. And it's free. It's got a lot of good charts. Go to charts. And you can see like, you use that, yes. There's a great one called PyCycle Top, that's been retroactively correct. Golden ratio. I'm looking for mvrvz score. Ah, yes. Ah, yes. The mvrvz score. And you look at this, and it could go all, it's very simple. I'm a simpleton. When it gets into the red, things are getting way overheated. And you want to start thinking about taking profits, whether, you know, when it hits it right here, or you want to take a staircase like you dollar cost average in, dollar cost average out. But once it starts hitting these red spots, you're like, maybe I should take some profits. And this is, if you don't know, I always get these confused. But the mvrvz score, the z score kind of just takes out the noise. And it's the market value current price of Bitcoin to the realized value. And realized value takes the price of each Bitcoin when it was last moved, you know. So it kind of just does a quick analysis. And you can see that it's pretty close to what you want to see as far as like some, you know, the toppers. And then of course, down here in the green, this is kind of like the safety zone where you think, maybe I should accumulate a little bit more. So you look at something like that. And then you take, you come back here and go, well, let's see, how about this? We'll take a look at the net unrealized profit and loss. And again, come on, there you go. When it gets in this red area, you're like, this is maybe a time to think about selling. And there's a time to think about accumulating this green zone. And there's a host of other things. There's a video, there's a link in the description. And it says, when I'm going to sell 80% of my portfolio, and I go over exactly like 10 of these different ones. And you can just, you can take a look at all of them and make the best decision for yourself. So that was a very long answer. But I need people to understand this because if you don't understand the fact that, and I argue with people, I get this argument of people like to take profits, like somebody like, I will never take profits. I will stay in here forever. That's cool. You can do that. Have a good time. But for me, at some point, you may want to take some profits along the way, because even like I said this before, even Michael Saylor is not living in a house of Bitcoin. That doesn't make any sense, actually, because Bitcoin is not physical. But you understand what I'm saying. He has other assets around him. I'm sure he owns some cars. Sure he owns a house. I'm sure he owns a couple houses. I'm pretty sure he owns other things that are not Bitcoin, even though he says Bitcoin is the only thing that is no second best. I think he owns some other assets to get him to the day. Just saying. So if you don't own your house outright, if you have bills, and if you need to save for the future, that would be the way to go. Take a little profits. All right. I hope that rocked. Hope is not a plan. That's true. DC out of the way. Capo's here. Oh, Russi Botz got a good one. MVP. I would try laying out Zscore 5.8. It's a good one. Let's go way to use it. Yeah. That's what's great about the MVP Zscore. You can kind of just take a look at this. What Botz is talking about here. There's so many ways you can play it. Because everybody's going to tell you about buy the dip and buy the dip, and you've got to keep buying. You buy, you buy, you buy, you buy, you buy. Is anybody talking about taking profits? Very few. For some reason, it's not popular. But I'm telling you, not a bad idea. So like Russi Botz like, hey, at the Zscore of 5.8, which is pretty high. I mean, it's before the red, which is a safety one, right? You're like, well, maybe I'll just start and you can pick your, pick your levels. Like this line right here is six, maybe between six and seven, you want to take out, I don't know, 10% of your profits, 15%, 30%, I don't know. Then up here, you get more aggressive or vice versa. It's all for you to do. Just make sure that you're taking some profits and you have something in the bank. And hopefully it's not a bank that goes under. What a crazy time to live, huh? Dig swimming, Dave. I know you think there's no ETF coming, but if BlackRock has approved and boom, true. That's true. I'm really hopeful I am wrong in this one. What do I want to be? Do I want to be right and see everything go down? I want to be wrong and see the whole market blow up and everybody's happy. I'd be wrong. The old Nexer P, I do. I just don't buy anymore. I had a good amount and couldn't sell it when that nice little lawsuit happened with Gary Gensler after he had lost. So now I'm just holding on to it. We'll see what happens in the next bull run. It's a good question. Have you, a guy, and been or met all three together in person? No, never have. I've never met Ben in person. I understand he's five foot two, which is kind of strange. Now I'm just kidding. I've met Guy while I've been to his show a couple of times. Real nice chap. Met a bunch of people in Europe. Met Simon Dixon in person. I was fun. Azad. Met a bunch of people, but never met Ben. Apparently, we're all supposed to, at least me and Ben are supposed to go to that Bitcoin conference. He'll be there and I'll be there. The one in Nashville, which will be next year. So get to meet Ben. Maybe we'll do a live NFA show right there. That'd be fun. Nah, about six one. About six one, but as I get older, I shrink. Lara says, do you reckon this dip will go lower? Whatever I say, just I always feel like I know, I'm always thinking like the recession is going to happen and I remember when we went to like seven, was it 15K? I thought we'd go to 12K. That didn't happen. And so do you think we'll go lower? I don't. I think we're pretty much in a recession now, even though the government doesn't say it. I think that we can go lower from here, obviously, but I don't see like us going to like 10K or 8K Bitcoin. But I do see us being in a very boring range until we start to get to the halving and the narrative picks up. And then in 2020 and a 2024 2025, that's what I thinking. And I could be wrong. Yeah, me and Simon have this bet. If I lose this bet, I have to wear an I heart machine ski, but it's okay because I have a plan if I do lose. Yep. That is true. That's good. And that's it. And then of course, September 26 is 2626 KXRP guaranteed. I'd like to see that I'm writing. I'm glad to see you to DC with James last week. Then you get George back for a show. George is too busy. George has like three streams and he's got a couple other channels. So I don't think that's going to happen rarely. But yeah, it was fun. Me, James and CTO Larson, homeless nomads, says I only hold Monero. Do you think I should buy Bitcoin? I think if it's, if Monero is the only thing you've ever, you hold as far as an asset, I am under the belief of diversification just a little bit into different asset classes as well. So like, I know a lot of people love crypto and digital assets and we invest a lot into them, but I don't only invest in that. It's also gold and silver. It's also real estate, long-term and short-term rentals. And also our business, our businesses that we have. The sports facility and we do some things on Amazon sometimes, but that's winding down. So yeah, so I like to just diversify as much as best I can. Land and physical real estate. Thank you. It is a nice green screen. I got it on Fiverr. If you go to Fiverr and just put in pool green screen, this is it. And they make those things, those fans work and it's pretty awesome. Zito says, Rob, do you own or use the CTO Larson indicator? I do not. I heard it's great, because that's what CTO says. And I don't, I have never used it, but check it out. Let me know how it goes. Yes. Great. A preview of James Larson, but what about Jerry? Jerry, Jerry will be on the show next week, as a matter of fact. We just talked yesterday. My friend from Costa Rica, Jerry Hall, not Mick Jagger's girlfriend. Jerry Hall will be on the show next week. And he's always a wealth information. And I love that guy. So yes, have you ever been involved in a crypto project? If you are convinced of the fundamentals and assurances, it's not a rug pull. First of all, yes. There's been, actually, there's a link in the description, like everything else. Look, there's a link in the description and we'll show you this spreadsheet. And these are the projects that were my up and comers and the ones that I talked about on Dan Degen, my second channel, which I'm going to, I should really start, start up again, because it's time to start taking a little bit more risk, I think. And I've gotten to four, really. Gensokishi, Everdome, Fame, and Sweatcoin. And I talked about those, I mean, Sweatcoin, talking about a lot. But Gensokishi, it was a pretty easy play because it was a game, it was a metaverse play, but it was already out on the Nintendo Switch. It was also on Android and iOS and PlayStation. It just brought it over to the metaverse. And I liked the team, I liked the guys, I met the guys in London, the first time I did a guy's show. And it worked out pretty well over time. The purchase price was like a penny and a half. This is how much I got. The all-time high was $1.62. And yeah, it worked out great. Everdome, this was a fraction of a penny when it first came out. I got $200,000 all the time I was $0.08. Fame MMA, Fame MMA kind of sucked. I'm just going to be honest with you. Fame MMA did good, but the team didn't really do what they said they're going to do, and it just kind of collapsed. And I've reached out to those guys to see like, Hey, what's going on? Are you guys going to bring this back? Are you going to do anything out of, you know, to rectify and make this big? But it went from a penny to $0.47. But you have to understand, this is how much I would gain today, because the price today, the all-time high was $0.47, but it went to a fraction of a penny. Gensokishi is still doing pretty good. And then of course, Sweatcoin, the all-time high was $0.09. But I had a year lockup, and now it's not even a penny. And then the next project I'm involved in is Floppy Bird. Floppy Bird is quite interesting. It's going to be, we're going, Floppy Bird is going to be on, it's that game that was out years ago. We're going to bring it back to Web 2 first, then Web 3. So yeah, good question. All right, Jerry Hall of Fame. Panda Pie is right. Fame MMA was a good idea with a bad team. I don't know if they had a bad team that didn't understand the massiveness of what they could have done. Jeremy has a good point. Crypto is a far better gamble than the US banking system. And that's it. All right, everybody. So that goes pretty well. Come on in 40 minutes. So that's it for the news today. So enjoy your Sunday or wherever you're at. Thanks so much for watching.
