 Let's see. So jade today says when is NFA next week not financial advice with me and guy from coin Bureau and Ben from the crypto worse. It should be every Thursday It's just that last couple times We've had some some things going on guy had to do something in the metaverse some kind of deal with finance and Like a shark tank type thing sounds interesting But it was on the exact same day and time. So that's done. So we're gonna be it should be every Thursday at 9 a.m. Eastern time and it'll be on guys channel and coin Bureau clips next week Yeah, it's probably true Rob. I think you can hammer out a lot of these crypto regulation issues If you just sit down with Gary at a cafe over some Cricket powder tea. I don't I probably it's it's probably very simple. I got to tell you between us It's no one's it's just us right now Nobody's watching I think that they're dragging their feet on purpose Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure that they could make this all very clear very quickly and Just move forward, but it's like for some reason they don't want to have clear regulation and that's it No, that's nice Well, welcome Vicki says I have a new interview channel. I will let us interview in a month. Absolutely You know how to get a hold of me? Yeah, that's right. Hello tnd Do you hold chain like yes, I do And uh There was this great article Let me see if I can pull it up. Did you guys know? Let me show you this It's a couple things I want to show you This dynamic NFTs so chain link is This is updated on january 23rd. So that's already it's coming into fruition, but a dynamic NFT. What is that? Well, NFTs are pretty static, you know, they don't really change too much I mean upgrade a bowl and stuff like that But you mean you have to do that manually But I don't this is all metaverse stuff. So like it would be like Or like later in game like if you go into a certain section of a game and you conquer some boss Automatically you level up and then your NFT levels up and it's like an automatic type of thing Which is on chain stuff. But what about off chain and I thought it was interesting So chain link, of course is an oracle and it brings an outside data into On into the blockchain, right? So let's just say that in the future We have an NFT that represents a house. Well, how do you know what that house? What the value is what's happened to it in the past good and bad? And everything kind of like information that you want to get especially if it's on an NFT So what it does is it'll update it automatically without having put things in it's kind of like Think of like Carfax, but on the blockchain and it's for houses and it could be for cars And it could be for any kind of asset that you really have and you could just see like all the data On the blockchain for anybody And so like let's say like in this example, let's say it replaces the roof You're like, well, you know, that's good to know and and then of course We can we can put that in and take a look at comparables other houses as far as like new roofs in a certain section And and what is that the price per square footage or let's say that they did new doors new new windows New something or and also let's say that there was a massive foundation crack And they had to fix that and it would all be in the NFT data. So why is that important? I think it's important because like if we want to use these types of things In the future it makes our lives a heck of a lot easier to do. So if you're an assessor And you're trying to look at or a real estate agent You're trying to look at like like give me these houses and these properties and and this type of price and there's no, you know Wacky information that that comes out on closing. Well, this will be where it is I know some people will say well, that seems kind of I mean, don't we have people to do that? Yes, we do we do all those things and of course That's the whole points of technology is to make things a lot faster easier simpler and cheaper and cutting out middleman If we can do that that will be fantastic. So to answer your question I do own chain like and especially it's interesting that they're doing these types of things. So, yeah Interesting also, I wanted to talk like that story, you know, just took up a whole lot of a lot of timeframe, but Ah, hold on. Let's see here I'll answer this What's your opinion of the Celsius new co-plan? It sounds like an awful plan with retail clawbacks And those are the 5k on the platform get half back compared to those with less than 5k So people have been like asking me to cover The Celsius plan what things are going on with Celsius and how's this thing with Celsius? and I haven't done much of it because First of all, uh, so everybody knows, you know, I promoted Celsius I talked about it quite a bit as a matter of fact And I have six figures stuck on that platform So I'm right with you on on Celsius and Celsius was it was a project that worked until it didn't And it's the same thing with Voyager Voyager worked until different when tell it didn't until they made this awful mistake of Loaning 640 million to three rows capital uncollateralized geniuses So this with this Celsius plan To cover it I don't think I can cover it But it's a lot of minutiae and the back and forth And it seems like the only people that know what's really going on to me and my What I see is Simon Dixon. So follow him Aaron Bennett Tiffany Fong And Cam Cruz These four people know exactly what's going on and you can follow others and you know to see what's happening But they they really keep up with the details of what's happening I was asked to get to cover it when there was this thing called a Celsius squeeze going on And I sat in on on a twitter space is live and I listened to everybody Complain and throw mud back and forth and nothing got accomplished whatsoever And now those same people the Celsius squeezers are talking about how great Celsius still is I mean some of them are there was a report that came out that basically said that Alex Mishinsky and Celsius was a Ponzi and they said we can't say, you know The exact words but it operated as a Ponzi and these people looked at that and go wow It's fantastic. They didn't call it a Ponzi. I'm like, did you not read the report? so The things that are going on and there's like I forgot the name terrible for something like that is is coming in They're like, we're gonna, you know make this thing great and it's gonna be awesome and And I'll let you know if that is really what it comes down to it, but right now There's really in my personal opinion It's not like there's a huge amount and people would say but Rob what about these? Retail clawbacks and things like that. Well, look we try to fight Kirkland and Ellis for them to make The crypto that we had on that platform to not allow them to classify that As Celsius's property and that failed miserably and they were able to do that And then for everybody who has it in you know and loans and custody and of course we can fight them But really what it's going to come down to is just time and what happens me personally I would just rather liquidate And just move on because I have a much better feeling that I can Use my funds a lot better than a new company coming in and saying, you know, we're gonna do this great stuff and this great stuff I don't trust anybody involved with it and I'll go out of my way to uh to make sure I didn't really want to talk about it, honestly That's just it. I mean why can bring some people on I asked Simon to come on to probably be here next week We'll talk all about it quite honestly I think it's uh, I'm just kissing that six figures. Goodbye so all right Do you think Celsius plan will not I don't know because Oh, first of all this new place. They're like, we're not going to be They they they say it's funny because like they say that it's not going to do like the old ways and they're not going to bring in the old Uh management team and it's going to be totally new and it's going to be totally awesome Basically what it is is they're getting they're getting your assets on the cheap And they're going to fire up this bitcoin mining platform and everything's going to be fantastic. Look Maybe it will I just reserve judgment, but I mean from from here on out Like I'm just tired of people saying like you should get behind Celsius and those and like Celsius is a bunch Of fraudsters and and people would say well, Rob, you don't understand They're doing this this great bitcoin mining operation and then if you take a look at All the financials you'll see that they were hemorrhaging money left and right They were actually losing money This bitcoin mining operation when they should have been making money So if this new company comes in they're like, oh, this is going to be great. I'll reserve judgment. So that's it I have no faith in ever anybody who is around that project The Yeah, follower and ben at Tiffany Tampong They're great Please tell us citizens when we might get sweat coin probably never No, it's gonna be let's see gary genzler gets out of office in 2026 probably around then So I don't know man. How many times does it want it to be burned before they really sell these are a bunch of frauds? I don't know and like I said, I mean Simon Dixon has much more faith in in in this new company than I do So maybe he can talk some sense into me, but I just don't Yeah, I just don't You know what it would be great is if they do liquidate What's what's people like I lost my mind. It's awful Well, you know what? When they liquidate and all these things happen Now you can actually claim this on taxes as massive losses So like right now, you know, you can't because everything's up in the air in chapter 11 They could come out And it could be this or could be that I mean talk to your cpa. I'm not a cpa But uh, I mean, I just rather write it off and I can have massive losses and I can carry those over for years to come. So I don't see I don't see it Thank you. Jeff. We all got played moving on Let's see I think that's it. There was a couple things that um To answer there's a couple questions. Yes. I'm still dcaing. I still I still have big plans. I think we're gonna see I mean this this year is going to be pretty rocky. We talked about this yesterday and on uh, NFA But uh 2024 run the bitcoin having I think we'll start to see more a little more stability. Hopefully if we don't go and go into a major recession But I think like here's a here's the thing if we go into a recession I think it'll be i'm i'm hoping q3 or q4 this year And the thing about recessions they last about a year, right? Depending maybe 14 months maybe 10 months about a about a year or so and it's a natural progression So if we extrapolate that out Then where are we? Well, we're in towards the end of 2024 After the bitcoin having and what happens after the bitcoin having usually we see uh, some major price increases and a little bit more of like a Stare step action not that it goes straight up, but it looks a lot better So I think it's just perfect timing. I'm just hoping It works out like that if we don't get a recession we don't get a recession, right? Yeah, to me it doesn't really matter too much because I just put my money away I dollar cost hours and I take a look at some factors of what I'm going to sell There's a link in the description of the video of when I'm going to sell 80 percent of my crypto and I take a look at uh multiple of of data points and you can Put that into your plan or not Do whatever you want to do So Noah says are you worried at all about itrust's custody program? So we had we did an interview um From itrust for their new custody program and they're moving so the so the thing was is that They're still they were using coin-based custody and fire blocks and the person that set that up Was their custody provider and then the new one Uh, I shoot what was the name scaling not scale fortress and fortress they're more of a Not a better But they use the same they they use fire blocks for custody service and a couple of the different ones and it'll allow us to like do Not anything fantastic. Just a different way. They want to they want to move or they want to grow So for me as far as like the custody thing the big thing that I liked about that Was the documentation with the terms and conditions which talked about they don't intermingle funds and we took a look at Okb okx the crypto exchange They just were blowing up a couple of weeks ago and I was like I don't understand why this is going on Because in terms of conditions it basically said we can co-mingle your funds and we can label it as okx's funds Watch the video. I'll show you so for fortress And for itrust they said they say totally different like we keep everything separate It is in your name under your account If something happens with us we just switch custody providers and that's pretty much it So am I concerned? I'm not uh, I'm not uh like A hundred percent sleep easy. There's always a concern everywhere. There's always risk for every type of investment you do Great thing about uh, but I trust and Roth IRAs is that you can't put You know, you can't take your life savings and sell your house and your kidneys and your kids and go Okay, and put it all on black and then uh, you know gambling it away like essentially what you could do Well, a casino sir or actually any stock that's out there. So for me I'm not as concerned with it as uh I say like these d5 plays or these centralized exchanges That's it So meme says but in pr if you don't pay capital gains under the grant How can we have capital losses? So I moved here in 2021 and the majority of my crypto was purchased in 20 because I dollar cost average in 2018 2019 And well actually every single year. I didn't sell all my crypto So for my cpa what they tell me is even if you moved here The crypto that you had before It doesn't automatically hit like that the day that you move here and become a resident and file for uh x 60 It needs to be 21 and 22 Moving from that point forward You won't have any losses as far as like not losses all right capital gains But to say that you accumulated beforehand that's still Uh detrimental to you because you're gonna pay capital gains in that And that's how it goes. So that's it So for I guess that would be for me for everybody else who's not in portorico It's a little bit different. You have capital gains to pay Cocchino says how long do you plan to stay in portorico? We Well, we'll live here our entire lives But uh, we'll be traveling Yeah, we actually go back to texas end of march. So you have to go back there for business. So Beardy says rob can get a wound back lesson, you know, that's all I did for five years I just Instructed nurses practitioners and surgeons how to use the wound back I it's been a while, but I could still do it Uh Let's see rob. What are you buying at the moment as much as I can I got a bitcoin ethereum the blue chips Cardano chain link near polka dot Avalanche I'm always forgetting some and some other ones and there's a couple of risky ones. I don't talk about but yeah, that's it So mtb says what do you think of blur? So blur just did There was an act not an acquisition, but they're like They're the nft platform that is Kind of going against open c And their big thing is correct me if i'm wrong is not about The royalties for the nft creators They tried to cut that down or cut that out and that went against what Open c did and they were doing so well I think that the volume of nft that was uh nfts are being bought Rivaled that of open c and now you got more of blur Now blur did a big airdrop and a lot of people that were buying and selling nfts got a bunch of tokens So looks good me personally. I don't really get into nfts right now So it's not a big big thing, but for me it just kind of comes down to this people will always use a platform that is Faster and cheaper and really cheap. That's what it was down to as long as the as the quality is somewhat there So who knows blur might be the next Big open c. I don't know So noa says cool My only concern is that with the crypto is not subject to security regulations What insurance we have that our crypto is safe in the event fortress goes bankrupt. So again And you can look in the terms conditions At fortress and also what I trust and you should also reach out to the the folks that I trust and ask them the specific question because i'm just a guy Who is talking to his computer? on a really decent That pretty good green screen And uh again the video we talked about it said quite specifically No co-mingling of funds and again There could be other other parts of that that i'm not privy to but that's what I saw in the terms of conditions And if there's not a co-mingling of funds That means that your account and your crypto doesn't get mingled in with everybody else's so they can't use your funds to buy condos In the Bahamas like sam bakeman freed to the ftx people That's it James says stay with the one true crypto. I gotta tell you I should just do that. It's much easier I never defy was always a like everybody said it's like the next big thing It's gonna be awesome and it very well could be but there's a lot of bumps to get there So I don't know me personally. I just Like I don't know where things are going, but that's why I like layer one solutions. That's why I like you know, that's why you hear like ethereum and avalanche and cardano and poke it out chain link solutions because like what's built on ethereum Darn near everything is built on ethereum If you take a look at how many years you 20 tokens there are is a lot So does that mean it's gonna keep being that way? Who knows? But uh, you've got other players in there. That's why I do those things So even if like So like people build them a theorem they do defy projects or they do nft So they do play their own gaming. It's all built on one thing right layer one solution So you can try to pick those winners, but it's tough Yeah, who bring up blood? No, that's right Yeah, fame mma Let's see you better load up on mattock before zk evm release You know, somebody said like steven over at uh, San Juan smokehouse said he believes that uh, because coinbase They're working on uh on the optimism platform and they released this layer two solution called base He said that's gonna kill Polygon and I was like, I don't know because I mean Coinbase also came out with their nft marketplace. I don't know how good that's doing, but I don't really hear too much about it so Who knows Not for sure, but you know, polygons got so many so many partnerships and so many things are I mean It really Does pretty well at the gaming sector. That's for sure. So Who knows? I don't know Is cardano still a ghost chain? Nah There's a link in the description. It's called cardano ghost chain. It's a slideshow it shows you I don't think Cardano is a ghost chain per se onwards and operates Yeah, johnny says Please try to people trying to play the blur Farming game need to be aware that they are playing against 150 people who are controlling the platform So do your due diligence before bidding Yeah, that sounds risky to me Like, you know, think about it this way. I don't know how risky people are and people are some are risky Some are not just remember this like you know, there's great gains to be had so First of all, does anybody gamble here like in a casino? Raise your hand. I've done it before Yeah, and uh, I think Most people don't take their entire life savings and And gamble the majority right will say 95% right, but there's that 1 to 5% of degenerates who just cannot stop gambling. That's just how it is. So like For these these plays I think the majority of people I think I'm not sure are not degenerates. They just kind of want to like well, maybe I'll make a little money and I'll you know, I'll take 20 bucks or 100 bucks or $10,000 or whatever Whatever is not big money to you and just kind of play the game and see what you do I think there's no problem with that, right? No problems with that I just have a problem when people like they're sitting there and they're they're They're gambling on leverage And they're going I can make it and they can't pay bills. That's the problem. But again, not your dad So you got to make that decision for yourself Now J. H says well Rob's only my dad. No one else What he does isn't what you should do. Don't trust anyone after sell fdx, etc. Exactly, right? Oh, that's pretty good. Norman said I sold a little bit of bitcoin and you before they dipped a little and then You know, we did the meet-up on thursday And I got to tell you everybody that I talked to every single person I talked to at the meet-up They're great at buying dips and dollar cross average. They're fantastic at it. You know what everybody sucks at? selling Everybody sucks at selling So like if you can figure the good times to sell, I think that's The next narrative for the next bull run and that's that diamond hands Saying all the time. I think it's gonna hopefully go away, but you're gonna hear a lot of it Diamond hands bro Robby looked into real world assets on chain rwa is the next big narrative and this is low-key White base launch with black rock in on it. That's interesting black rock and base Black rock and base. It'd be interesting Yeah, real world assets on on chain You know who wants who was doing a lot of that a couple years ago and still doing is is bosson or boson protocol b o s o n protocol they were they were So you could take your real world assets and put them in the metaverse and move back and forth, but we'll see BNB is a scam chain. Ah my favorite word scam base will not kill polygon White tree says good morning I do a little sports betting Yeah casinos, right nothing's gonna kill mattok Only 270 thumbs up It's pretty good I'll take on a saturday Yeah, just look at how much was lost on superbowl. Well on the ads and things like that, of course Oh, uh real quick impromptu poll I don't do many Many live streams anymore Just don't so I might do some more later, but probably not But uh people like the conversation to to keep going and I think I by me not doing the live streams I kind of took that away from people so I have a question for everybody and lucas brought this to my attention What would be better for everybody? Telegram or discord To get a conversation going And the problem I've always had with telegram and discord is the amount of scammers and spammers there But what i'm gonna do is whichever one that we decide to launch on I'm just gonna the people who are wrenches Here will probably be the admins over there So we can do the same type of talking and they can protect people And that's the that would be the thing and then of course The link that you get to sign up will be private and uh There's a way to get it, but I first I had to figure out who's going to be is going to be telegram or discord Yeah, today's saturday. Can you believe this? There are some houses open. There's some houses open Yeah If only we could sell from the hard wall without fees, you know that but you know who's you know, who's making a killing Is the moon pays and the different plate and the different uh companies Wire or whatever else it is That allow you to to trade and sell in your wallet. They're making fat fee like five percent six percent four to six percent for sure like Visa doesn't even cost cost that much paypal doesn't cost that much, but those guys they're raking it. They're raking that money in So Yeah, let's see telegram discord discord discord discord i'll do a I'll do a poll like a real poll discord Discord to give me a wrench. Why does everybody like discord? I gotta ask you guys. Why do you like discord? Moon pay is awful. He says I have discord open all day every day No way salon is down. Huh? Yeah Easy to use and everyone uses it. Can you? Like I use discord on my on my uh on my um computer I don't really on my mac. I don't use it on the on the mobile device, but I really shouldn't start doing that Hmm. This goes a better layout less scammers on discord really uh Will Shaw says patreon now patreon is But then I got a charge Come on. Just save your money and put it into crypto bill bones. That's probably the thing about Celsius retail clawbacks bad news I mean, I will say like this like the clawbacks for uh the people that were A part of management they should do retail clawbacks I don't I don't think they should do but they probably will and again. I think this is again like Like people are like robbie should cover this you should cover this I just think it's gonna go really ugly for a while and uh that clawback will probably happen And what'll be interesting is that you know If that clawbacks if those clawbacks do happen, I'm pretty sure the the new company that tarah wolf, whatever it's called they're gonna Come out of that pretty happy because now they have all this crypto to play play with and uh good news for them They got added a massive discount. So I'm sure they're not gonna be like, you know what? Let's not claw back So that's all I need to know about that about them Maybe I'm wrong. I had a rough night Now this is good Ben and guy are both on telegram. That's true. I'm in ben's uh that little telegram group. It's quite interesting Sure, let's show So rob tell me to butt out if you know as if you could see your full-time job. We do other things I don't do anything so like I haven't worked for anybody since 2014 2015 somewhere around there And uh now like I got into online education And I was helping nursing students pass their clinical exam And this website's what allowed me to not Work for anybody else was pretty great. And then I got into real estate and that helped out a lot It was a more long-term rentals and things like that and then I That worked out pretty well from the money I got from the website and then did that and the money if we did that We got into uh an amazon business Amazon business is extremely boring, but it's quite profitable if you know what to do. It's very simple. You just Essentially reach out to distributors and say I'd like to give you a spreadsheet of the things that you have And I'll pick which ones I want to buy so like let's say you buy like a thousand 10,000 remote controls for an air conditioning unit and then you just profit off the difference You have them ship it to amazon warehouse and they sell it for you under your under your name And then uh, also sports facility in el paso. It's just all sand volleyball courts and uh Now we do more of uh the short-term rentals and air bnb. So This thing is that's why like I told everybody like on the next bull run When we hit the parabolic bull run and I that video in the link in the description Where I talk about how I'm going to sell like 80 of my crypto Once those parameters are hit. I'm stepping down And that's it for me. So what I'll do is to really drive the point home because Everybody's good at buying but everybody sucks. Well, most people suck at selling and I think once it goes up and goes down people like Let me ask you guys this how many of you out there are like boy I wish I would have sold some more when bitcoin was at 69 000 and the three was almost 5000 and codona was three dollars Or has everybody sold the top? Yeah, exactly So to drive this point home of you know at some point we have to sell because things don't go up forever Once I get to that point I'm just gonna step away and just like I sold everything and that's it So what I'll do is I won't do any more videos in the bull market because it gets crazy And I'll be a reminder that you really should think about selling not that you have to But I won't come back until things crash So I got two years left And then that's it It'll be good. I can do some other things. But yeah, like like these days. I feel like um I feel like I should do it So yeah, but that's it. All right, buddy coming up on an hour. I think that's good for a saturday. So look That's all we have for today. It was supposed to be an impromptu thing, but that's it So thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it time to go to the beach play a little volleyball That's a couple hours. That's it for me. So enjoy the rest of the day. We're over at adios
