 I appreciate you and now if you want to stick around I'll answer your questions the best of my abilities We'll do a little Q&A and go from there Come on Rob come on. I know everybody wants to talk about Bitcoin. I get it Everybody's like Bitcoin Bitcoin Bitcoin, and if you're like me like I've already done my job This is the easiest part. The hard part is essentially was accumulating When everybody was telling you you're a moron right and of course we've already done that So like why do we keep talking about the same thing about Bitcoin going up and Bitcoin going up? Of course, it's going up. Of course, it's gonna do a will Especially with the having I mean come on so like What I want to do was say look we know Bitcoin is gonna do great your portfolio is gonna do awesome And it's great to feel that way. Well, we must always be looking ahead, right? Just like how we front ran Blackrock we front ran all the institutions. We front ran everybody in Wall Street essentially well most of them Now they're gonna come in and they're gonna do a Ethereum ETF and we've already front ran them on the largest Layer one solution we did which was Ethereum Now I want to kind of shift everybody and say look if you want to front on everybody else before they get into this part Take a look at this next section Because if we you know if we skate to where the puck is going to tell it instead of where the puck has been We're gonna do pretty well just saying but I mean we'll talk about Bitcoin. That's fine me No way Okay, so here's the here's the conspiracy theory somebody's got some kind of power at coinbase and they're saying Stop allowing all these customers to use coinbase to do the things behind the scenes to actually buy up and sell and all the stuff Because it's going up too fast and we got to really start to onboard customers And if it goes up too quickly, there's no gains being made we want to have fantastic gains and something could be said because If we take a look at all the different custodial services, who's the biggest? Who's custodying black rock? Who's custodying fidelity? I don't know actually I know black rock. It's a coinbase correct me in the comment section and Most of the ETFs are using Coinbase's custody services So the conspiracy theory or the theory which will probably be proven true later is that they say Brian This is not good for us need to slow this down and he does it when things get too heated Before we hit an all-time high and things take off We'll see Tyler says my Coinbase account is fine. See there you go. Everything's good Dr. Benny boom bot says coinbase is officially out of over-the-counter Bitcoin. All right, maybe I Mean someone just told me that Bitcoin or Coinbase was down You'll see and then of course Coachella says 70k, which I pretty sure that's not true Or is that like your ambition? It's everybody's ambition, but yeah Almost I tell you. All right. So let's see Yeah Atomic Steak says Rob Do you have any advice for me on navigating Bitcoin with friends who come back to talk about is it too late to buy? After telling them to get in years before first you say Hmm First you try to be humble as much as possible and try to get that out of the out of your mindset If I told you so because no one wants to hear that right even though it really burns you up inside you want to say Trust me, I know what it is, but we have to be humble and we have to say that's okay I mean it takes time, you know and then the back of your mind your thing yourself You get Bitcoin at the price you deserve anyhow as you're talking to them this was actually a question that I've gotten quite a bit and The question is arm should I still get into this? Should I still? DCA because it doesn't make any sense because everything's just gonna go crazy. So here's my answer to that I actually posted this this morning, which was this Should I continue to DC DCA into Bitcoin? Would you have the same answer for your friends? Should I buy Bitcoin now? It seems like it's already topped out I mean it's over. It's almost 200% all for like a year. Why would I get into it now? Well, you have to ask yourself or you have to ask them the question because you're not a financial advisor and You're not their dad. Maybe you are But I'm not So I asked them the question is this and this is what I have in my head. Do I need the cash in my bank account? Meaning is there some kind of major thing coming up? Do I have enough for an emergency fund? Am I? Throttled have I gone and done too much do I need this for something and if I say no, not really I'm good, right? If that's that's a no Second question is are there any bills I need to pay because you got to ask that You got to add that is a question you have to ask yourself and your friends like look if you're like seriously in debt And you've got credit card debt like most of Americans do And you're at a high interest rate you did get rid of that first That's really what just to be a responsible individual. Let's be honest and that's a no, okay the next one Well inflation stop increasing. That's a automatic. No, I just threw that in there. So people like oh, yeah, that's right And the fourth one is will Bitcoin stop appreciating now this one over time. No It won't stop appreciating for quite some time. We'll stop appreciating tomorrow Maybe and maybe it goes down But for me when I say when I say these things to in my head I'm like no no no no buy more Bitcoin. I bought more Bitcoin today. This is what would some would say well This is pretty high. Who cares? What do we think it's going? That's the bigger question. So to answer your your question is you Ask them those and then go from there if they're like well, I do have bills and you know I do have child support to pay and you know my baby mama. She's really gonna need that money then Pay so that's it. All right My coinbase is just a spinning wheel. Link is doing great. Yeah, I just bought a coinbase. Yeah, mine I have a I just DCA Bitcoin every day. So I didn't usually get a notification, but it doesn't go through and I didn't see it. So now Robert says are you farming Egan layer? Let me tell you right now that Ma I Would never do that that Egan layer for Ethereum essentially correct me if I'm wrong here You're able to stake your Ethereum Then take the liquid staking and do whatever you want D gen type play and when things start to crash Which they'll crash at some point and The margin calls come in and you lost something over there You mean you the a thing that you have staked that you can't pay back is now Susceptible to slashing and we're gonna allow that to happen. That just seems like a huge recipe for disaster I'm not doing any of that stuff. I'm not doing that I'm not loaning my Bitcoin out or taking loans against it like people did before I'm not leaving on exchanges and that's that Coinbase is down for me Probably mail I am a mail delegator a matter of fact, I've got two of them and they're both filled up So yeah, sorry about that meld is essentially a d5 bank and it's doing pretty well. It's just That's a they need more they need more stake pools Now I didn't want I'm gonna check this myself Is coinbase down? Like on my phone Well, hold on That's not true. I had my internet off on my phone Try again It's not coming up now that I turn my phone on I got a bunch of notifications Is it at 67,000? When the hell that happened? Holy smokes Congratulations, everybody. We did it 67k. Wow. Well, let me just change the title to this video to 67k Yep, I'm gonna be up to date. Wow. That's crazy. Congratulations. You know, maybe we had all-time eye today You know, I'm gonna do it today. I'm gonna say I'm gonna predict it I'm gonna predict that Bitcoin goes to 69 or no I'm gonna predict that Bitcoin goes to seventy thousand dollars today Now I'm gonna keep saying that every video and then like in a couple of years I'm gonna say hey, I called it the day that it actually happened and of course I'll just delete the other videos like everybody else does Yeah coinbase still works for me. Let me see though buy me buy something What should I buy that's the question? No, maybe it is down Brian Armstrong, what is your problem? You're telling me that these guys didn't Do the due diligence and work the need to do to keep coinbase up after they figured out in 2021 They're gonna have a massive amount of demand coming in the next bull run. Come on. That's ridiculous Those ten times the demand we couldn't keep up Love it Well, I can't buy anything Let's see hundred bucks of render $100 of Cardano. No How about a mutable X? How about just 10 how about 25 bucks of a mutable X? Can I even do that? That's piece of junk Same thing. Yeah coinbase is down for me So there you go Unbelievable unbelievable 69,000 oh for points. Oh sir, that's a different story. I'm sorry. Yeah for points No, I haven't done it yet points are great because you know, you can get an airdrop and everybody's like happy Get ready to jump in the pool you guys gonna be disappointed that's just a green screen, so I don't know It's gonna look really funny Jaco says Rob since you decided to start taking Bitcoin profits at 85k. It wasn't 85k the Bitcoin profits they were at the risk levels, which was 8.5 not 85,000 and what we're talking about is On Ben's website in the cryptoverse now that might correlate to 85k, but things change on the risk factors So have you reconsidered the libraries? No Especially price predictions price predictions are worthless And they're dangerous like I've talked about My price range is this Bitcoin will be between $5 and $500,000 by 2024 that way when the indicators come in you take a look at it like well Mbrvz scores x 12 multiple risk Pycycle top and then it's kind of macro factors. I can take a look at okay, you know, maybe this is the time to actually sell I'm not gonna do price predictions So even though we're super bullish and people are calling for a million dollar Bitcoin or 10 million dollar Bitcoin I've heard that same song of dance forever And I'm not gonna sell the top and I'm gonna miss it and I don't really care Because I had a plan before and I stick to the plan That's it Exactly how do you jump into a green screen? It's tough Dave ready says consider shifting Bitcoin over into ETH after a Bitcoin all-time high If Bitcoin might do a 2x ETH might do a 4 to 5x It sounds reasonable, but for me, I'm not gonna do it. I've got A lot of different plays. I mean everything from the top 20 to 20 to 100 to 100 to 500 as far as the Market cap goes and I'll stick with that I don't like to move things around because it complicates my life And I know there's a lot of money to be made But how much money do you need if you think about it, right? If you don't have to answer anybody you don't have a job to actually report to to some boss and you do what you want to do Isn't that essentially being rich? Yeah Yankee lander says we could have a big pullback when you get 75k. Sure Hope so that'd be great There's always bills to pay Yeah ah This is what sam from uh, my financial friend was talking about why are fees less using advanced trade function on coinbase? Compared to the big buy button on the home page for coinbase and he did tell me yesterday He's like you need to use advanced trade because it's just easier. I said, can I do can I do dca set up dca? He goes, I'm not sure about that, but she can do limit orders I was like, I should do that So yeah, if you want to save it for the uh fees So to answer your question, that's just the way coinbase set it up because I knew a lot of people wouldn't do it like me Yeah Ivan says Rob, what if you use your credit cards creating debt for yourself to buy bitcoin? Let me tell you a story There was a time in 2021 when people were taking loans out from these different places Celsius being one of them and they would take loans out And then they would use those loans to buy crypto. They would buy, you know stuff like luna and all different types of things out there out there and uh, it just was a recipe for Collapse and that's exactly what happened. So Ivan if you're using your credit cards to buy bitcoin You can do it but you need to time it and actually pay off those credit cards before everything crashes because Oh Man, that's so risky You can probably get away with it if you're Ah, no, I can't even say that It's probably gonna be it's probably gonna be a little bit hurtful if things don't go the way that you want it to so Unless if you're thinking yourself like, okay, I can't sell before 20 to 50x I think you should not do that And uh, just play it safe. That's what I have to say on the channel So go from there but man pay off those credit cards because I know There's uh one gentleman who's on x he put uh He uses credit card And he bought a bunch of crypto and he left it on voyager Now voyager was a whole different thing Yeah, I talked about it a lot Yeah, I thought it was great, but nobody knew about that 630 million dollar uncollateralized loan Until two weeks before because it was a public company once we found that out because we did a video But it was too late because people don't watch all my videos all the time, right Two weeks later went under and he's still paying off that debt He is still to this day paying off that debt from all the different credit cards that he used to buy crypto That got stuck on voyager. He got 35 back and he's still underwater So just saying Bitcoin's probably Well, all right I do I say it a lot I say a lot because like uh, it's like I know you guys know it but There's some people who are like were rob told me to do this thing and He didn't tell me that he's not a financial advisor or my dad Robbie gonna draw a house in the bitcoin chart. No good We're top three picks for game five. Hmm I like playable probably because I have a node and I am super biased I like aluvium. I think it's going to do quite well And I like avalanche. It seems like they're doing great things Ronan seems to be the great chain of pixels and all the games that are coming on there I'm sure there's a bunch of different ones, but I that was four, but I go with that seems pretty reasonable Ah, yeah. Yeah, you're right It'll be huge Can you take a look at a ryan protocol? I think I know these guys As a matter of fact if the ones I think of Whoops a ryan protocol, right? I just want to see something these guys, right? Or ryan if they've been around Oh, yeah Website remember these guys And actually invested in them back in 2020 And then it's one of those deals where and of course, I'll blame myself, but it's a I hate this this whole process Which was the ryan token. They went from one Chain to another chain and since I didn't keep up with it the 5 000 that I put into it gone So I was like, yeah, I'm not going to deal with them ever again. So that was that let's see Question for changing bitcoin ether the bitcoin is a hard wallet. Is it cheaper and better swap in the wallet? Or first on the coin base and do it there depends on the wallet. Some are relatively inexpensive but some relatively price gouge you and if they use that nonsense Business called moon pay you're going to pay for the nose So if you ever see moon pay Ledger is deep in with them for whatever reason you're going to pay a lot in fees so I would just Take a look at it both ways and see which ones works best because I don't know if you have you know, tangent or if you have tracer Or ledger or we're talking about metamask, but uh, they're all different Moon pay biggest bunch of price gouges in this entire crypto market Yeah, we're going to need a coin base tracker. That's pretty good Dan says coin base works for me. That's good Let me see maybe mines Let me try it again 25 bucks for a mutable x Where is it? And if it's working it's working slow. I'll tell you that Here, let's do this CBA is loading slow working fine for me. I'm still waiting Let me shut it down But again, even even if it does or doesn't work for me. It doesn't mean that's the whole thing for everybody Man, that's slow. Oh, it hasn't shut down now. It's going to shut down soon If it's working that if it's working that slow Yeah, let's see buy and sell That degraded performance a small subset of users may see intermittent zero balances across their coin base accounts They couldn't fix that either and latency across pages trading is not impacted this time. Our team is investigating this issue. All right Let's try to pay. Let's just buy some bitcoin No No, let's see 25 dollars 100 dollars 10,000 dollars I'll change banks Maybe this bank will work No well All right, so it's down for me. Maybe Other people it's not okay. That's a that's a sharp Oh, mitch braze on now. That's great Can you take a look at our yeah Hey, all I hardly get notifications for Dan. That's okay. That's just YouTube doing youtube things. I don't really think it's an issue with youtube. I think it's just how it is you know 69,000 for next week I can see that I can see it to this week Shib's doing great Daily close at 70,000 that'd be awesome You're gonna watch mitch rubb. No His show is very entertaining, but i'm not the ta guy It's all charts and great stuff if you like charts and ta mitch ray. I like tom tom crown but Whatever floats your boat Black rock and come and just pick up the phone. I'm all right probably so Yeah Okay, do you have a bird? Yeah, sorry. It's a bird outside I'm gonna be installing new uh soundproof windows this week. All right, so hopefully I don't have any external noise I guess this is why you should have access to more than one exchange Any nerds know if kraken has any issues? That's a good question That is a good question Look turn out. Yeah, it's an tiring day Binance works fine. That's great for all the people that Get access to binance. I unfortunately do not Kraken's working see that's it. All right, buddy. So it looks like coin bases may be a little degraded Kraken is working pretty well Remember bitcoin's probably going to take off. I say today It'll hit its all-time high today and I'll keep saying it until I get it right And uh, don't forget that at some point we're going to rotate into altcoins retail will be here And uh, don't fade it because that's uh, the next evolution. That's it for today. So look If you do, uh, like the video Thumbs up and subscribe all good stuff on your way up But that's it for today. I appreciate you guys for stopping by do and I'll see you guys on the next one. See you
