 So the question becomes, what is a solid investment? That's a pretty great question. And it's one of the things that we try to answer yesterday in our video where it was titled, They Hide It. And we're talking about the former president of the New York Stock Exchange where he just came out and said, hey, you know what? Cryptocurrency is the best kept secret out there. And more people, once they've learned about it, are probably gonna get right into it. Which was pretty interesting to me because I thought to myself, well, why are they trying to, they say it's a secret. And I think that people like that, or people who are in higher positions, or people with a lot of wealth and influence, I think they're trying to kind of keep it on the download so they can get everybody in as fast as possible, even their whale clients so they can get everybody in. And then they can front-run everything and then all the retail investors can come in later, people like you and me. So we talked about how sometimes these investments, you have to take a look at what is really going on behind the scenes, and that was just one of the parts. And I talked about good investments and we talked about the portfolio and my portfolio is like risk, riskier and riskiest. And that's pretty much how it comes down to because crypto is pretty risky. And one of the tokens I talked about was Dogecoin. And I said it was trash. And I said it was trash because of the different aspects that it holds. One of those is that there's really no team around it. It's pretty much abandoned as far as that I know there's like a huge team behind it right now. It's not like it's, you know, they're like like the Ethereum foundation is behind or something crazy like that. There's been no more, you know, huge amounts of partnerships announced. There's been new mainnet launch. There's, you know, it's not like it's being used a ton of different places for a ton of different things. To me, it doesn't, it's not, it's not a viable project, quite honestly. And it works, it works fine. I mean, you can spend things, you can tip things. Great, whatever, use it for charity. And I just thought it was gonna end badly, honestly. And there was this, this tweet that I saw came out yesterday. And just so you know, when I, when I show you this, this is from Reddit. So you know that everything I read is 100% true. But in all honesty, from what I saw from all the different promotions, things that were going on, people like, you know, really pumping up this token. I was like, this is gonna end pretty badly for a lot of people because they don't understand. They just hear about cryptocurrency. They're like, this is awesome. It's gonna be fantastic for, for everything. And it's gonna go to the moon. They have no idea about tokenomics and how things actually work and market cap. And this is a prime example. So it says, how do I tell my wife our life savings are gone? I threw in almost 90% of our joint savings account in a doge at 40 cents, expecting it to hit a dollar. So this guy probably, and this analysis is true or not, but probably makes sense that someone did this out there. They said, hey, I'm not gonna tell my wife. I'm just gonna throw in some, some of our savings joint, jointly and, you know, by the time it hits a dollar, I'm like, surprise her. Hey babe, look at this new house. I'm a genius, love me. He goes, I didn't realize that it was at a $50 billion market cap when it was at 40 cents. I was just following the hype and what I was seeing on TikTok. I'm sick to my stomach right now. So that's one, one end of the spectrum. That's, I think is what the majority are going to go through for everybody who's just coming in. Because remember, if you bought it early and you sold it at the top, someone's holding your bags and that's just how it is. Someone you dumped on and that's, that's the name of the game, honestly. So in certain, in certain respects, you're rewarded for, you know, getting in early, buying it and then going, you know what? Like for me, for Bitcoin, right? I got an early, I mean, Israeli is like a possibly do it in 2017. And when I sell it, let's say I bought a 10,000. I sold a 20,000. Well, then that person, you know, when they bought a 20,000, now they're doing pretty good because it's at 53,000 and that's just how it is. But at some point they bought my bags that I bought beforehand and it really just depends on, you know, what their goals are. So I can't really say too much. So there's this part to it. And then in one of the comments that I got, it was a pretty good comment. I'm gonna blow this up so you can see it. Let me get here and here. So this is from Climate Tech. He goes, look, man, I put $3,000 in a Doge in 2017 and I held it. Today it's worth $747,000. And I hear you calling it a stupid investment. I saw the potential in Doge from its huge fan base, all right? Charitable contributions and its value as a meme coin. That's debatable. Don't be a sore loser and don't be mad when it hits a dollar a coin. So I said, hey, you know, congratulations to you. And that's really good. And people were congratulating him on a long hold. And that's pretty amazing. I don't know how many long-term Doge holders there are. I know there's like a couple of wallets which have a ton of Doge. But for Climate Tech, yes, he just did. He's like, you know what? $3,000, I don't care about it. And just forgot about it. Another example I can tell you is I had a friend who was sitting down and he goes, and I can believe this was like two or three weeks ago. And he was in, he got into cryptocurrency. There was a project that I wanted to work with him. And they said, we can't pay you in dollars, but we'll pay you in the token. He's like, well, I like you guys. So, you know, sure, it's worthless, but whatever. And then fast forward to two weeks ago, cause this was back in 2017 when this happened. Fast forward two weeks ago, he's talking to a friend of ours and he goes, hey man, we heard about XYZ coin. And he goes, yeah, it's trash. I just, I've had the bunch that stuff. He goes, really? He goes, cause it's worth like 50 bucks now. And he's like, what the hell? Took, went back to his house, looking at his hard drive. Tokens were still there, put it on the exchange, sold a bunch, a couple of million dollars. This is what it is. And it just goes to show you that really investing in crypto and digital assets, again, this is not financial vice, but if you, like for me, I just, you know, I was losing out and I go, you know what? I know this is gonna be big. I know it's gonna be, it's gonna change the world in some way, shape or form. I'm just gonna keep dollar cost averaging in. And I did from 2017 all the way up to yesterday. And I'll probably still do some today. Well, it depends. And that's the beauty of investing. Sometimes you can just get into a project when it's like super low and there's really not much going on to it and just pulled for a long time and everything goes up. In the bull run, you don't have to be a financial genius. You just gotta be, you know, strong enough to not sell too early and usually make, or sometimes I will say sometimes, you can make, you can do pretty well. So what I wanna show you real quick is Dogecoin and how long this guy had to hold when there was absolutely nothing going on. So this is from right now and you can see like, I think it topped out of 40 cents. Wow, amazing. That's what the guy bought at the very top, it sucks. But then this is all the way back to 2018, 2017. It was 0.001. So it was a 10th of a penny. And that's when he bought $3,000 and just held on to it. But remember, you gotta go 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. You gotta hold four years. And that's a long time. That's a long time to hold. And just on a coin where it does absolutely nothing. But you know what? Something happened to my other friend who just didn't even think about it, said it and forget it and off you go. So those are two great examples of what could potentially happen. Myself, I'm trying to look for good projects as a good team, as good people behind it. It doesn't have a huge market cap, doesn't have a huge supply. I know if you have a trillion dollar tokens, I'm not gonna invest into your product. It's just way too many for, I mean, whatever you're trying to do. I don't know what you're trying to do. But if you have something like this, I mean, well, even this one, circulating supply is 129 billion, 348 million, 76, that's a lot. That's a ton of circulating supply. And let's see. And then max supplies and fending. I would never have, I still won't invest in this one. But I mean, it worked out pretty well. So there's that part. Now let's take a look at, let's go on the flip side, okay? This is Verge. And Verge, back in the day, was supposed to be very big. It was actually being used as payments to different websites. That was pretty good. People were like, this is the next great thing in 2017. And yeah, I mean, it was like 0.0004 cents, right? So if you got in like in May, which there was, is that volume, right? 342 bucks, that's insane. And then just held it, we'll look at that. You could have gone up all the way to 26 cents and you would have been, you would have made out like a bandit just for 3,000 bucks. But here's another, the flip side of the same coin of Doge. If you would have bought here or here or here or here, right here, you'd have been in pretty bad shape for the longest time. Now it's coming back up. So maybe you could recover and that's just one of those things, so great. And then we'll take a, let's just do this. Let's take a Swissborg, for example, here's another example. If you go all the way back to the beginning, whatever this is, Swissborg biased, I own some, you're looking at like two cents in 2018, four cents, right? And just held, held, held, held, held and there you are. 88 cents, $0.42, you would have looked like a genius. Now, let's go back, let's take a look at, where was this one? Tribe, do do do, tribe, number 131, okay. So if they look at tribe, I don't know what this is, but you could take a look at this, go all the way back to the very beginning and once it got released, it was at $2.24, and you're like, I'm gonna buy that because that looks pretty good, my two bucks. And then it goes down and down and down, holding at $1.12. And even this bull run, which was a pretty fantastic so far, you still wouldn't have hit it right there. So again, when you look at these things, these projects, you can hit a pretty good one. And a lot of these projects, they will go up in this bull market. But for me personally, what I look for is something with not a lot of tokens. I look for a great team, great people that I can invest for the long haul. Now, climb it over there. He said, you know what, I love the community and I'm gonna stick with him through thick and thin and that could work for you, right? I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. I guarantee you that wasn't the only cryptocurrency and digital asset that he actually bought, but those are just my two cents. Personally, look for those things and then I just go from there.
