 And we're both in there. All right. Wrecked Albucoff. I know it's a green screen. You know it's not a green screen, because you want me to throw something in my pool, I don't have anything to throw in there, except myself, I'm not throwing that in. You know what I should do? I should have a ball just ready, right here on my desk, so I can just automatically just throw stuff into the pool. Let's see. Jacob says, we all knew Alts were getting wrecked after that disaster. I mean, it was coming. We knew that this was a bear market. We knew it was only going to go down. And I'm actually quite surprised that Bitcoin's holding up so well, by honestly. Does anybody know what my shift is at a Burger King? That's good. The Mad Monk friends. We are sailing the ship together. Let's set to sail. I like that. So, hey, Rob, hey, when Bitcoin starts, it's run. Do you think there will be a sell-off once Bitcoin reaches a resistance level? Your thoughts? I think, and if you look at it in the history of books, the Alts suffer way more than Bitcoin usually does. Bitcoin down when it goes up, Ben's always talking about this in the cryptiverse, and you'll see all coins go down pretty precipitously, pretty fast. So the question then is, do you think there will be a sell-off once Bitcoin reaches a resistance level? Your thoughts? I think it's already happening. I mean, I think this, Alts are going down. I had talked about this thing called micro-DCing a couple of shows ago, because I didn't know exactly which way I was going to go. And it's working out well, because I'm not spending so much money on Alts like I did back in 2018. But I mean, those, because I've been, every week, I buy a couple of different Altcoins, and I switch between. But every day, I buy Bitcoin, a little bit of it. So what I call micro-DCing is showing me that Alts, yes, indeed, are still getting it right now. Could this be the bottom? I don't know. Could it go farther? Probably. Maybe. Probably. Who knows? Will it go up? I don't see it going up anytime soon, unless we see some pretty pivoting by the Fed and maybe some more positive macro-economic news. So right now, this is the power of DCA. I don't know when it's going to go up. I don't know the bottom, but I can tell you over time, it tends to work out. Can I pick the bottom? No. Can you kind of see where the bottom is? You can. Some can. I just feel like every time we think that there's a bottom, it just keeps going farther. And every time we think there's a top, it goes higher than that, so it just depends. Thank you, Pandito. And thank you, Mullets. Satscript, but do you want to give a fan? That's funny. I will. That's why Mullets and Dez and Beardy are here. They do all that great stuff for me. They're great. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. Yeah, this is so, this is from Roman Nomad. My grandfather had many stories about the time he told me his childhood, how poverty ruled people's lives. Just hoping to see the great depression. So that's just it. If you're a younger investor in your mid-to-late, early to mid-to-late 20s, you don't really know what a real economic downturn looks like. You don't know the 2008 financial crisis. You don't know what it was in the late 70s, early 80s, when Volcker was head of the Fed share. And we had Ronald Reagan just was coming into office. In the 80s, he was 84. And you could see inflation was out of control. There was long gas lines. There was a huge recession going into another depression. And if it wasn't for some of those rate raising, which was pretty aggressive, it'd have been a lot worse, a lot longer. That's just what the history books will tell you, right? But you'd never seen that. 2001.com crash. Didn't see that. And then now here we are. So it's hard to fathom that because we've been in the bull run for so long. I mean, just look at the GDP. It just goes straight up, left to right. But I think those times are coming. You cannot go forever. But remember, that's when all the opportunities are. I'll tell you the story. We have a friend here in El Paso. His name's David. I'm not going to give him his last name. But in 2008, 2007, he was talking about a crash coming. And he felt like the rates for mortgages were just too ridiculously low. You could go in. I remember actually, so in 2000, we got this house in 2006, six or seven. And when we went in there to get this house, they asked us, well, how much do you make per year? And I told them, OK, I was like, that's it. You don't want to do checks? No, we're good. That's it. I was like, holy smokes. Seriously, that's how it was. You didn't have to show them anything. There was no checks or nothing. You said, that's so much of me. And then they give you a rate. And it was like 7.45%, 7.6% for the APR for houses. Nobody bad in eyelash. And for here, so people now, in front of my mic here, he was bought a new house in December. And the rate was 2.7%. And he's like, man, I feel sorry for the people at 4%. I'm like, 4%. Dude, that's not too bad. So it's just hard to fathom, but it's coming. And this is like when David, when he figured out there was going to be a crash, all he did was just sat around, he sold all his houses, and sat around for two years as like the chaos ensued. And then once everything just went down to the ground, he picked up, I want to say, like 40 or 50 different houses around El Paso. And he rented them out, because guess what? Everybody needs a place to stay. You may not be able to buy a house, but you can sure rent the price is right. So just what it was. Right. What did I miss? Beardy says, so the next halving in 2024, I want to give us a boost. So remember, I wish I could, I got time. Let me pull up something. Let me show you something. One, two, you can't see this, I know. But three, but I'll pull it up in a second. Four, one, two, three, four. So remember, look at this real quick. Let me share my screen so you can see it. Doesn't mean I'm good at talking to myself. So remember, let me move this banner. The, and let me move, let me remove Beardy's question. Okay, so will we get a boost? Remember, so the halving, the last one, not the last, last one, but in 2012, this is the four year cycle you have a halving where not the, the amount of Bitcoin that's actually produced every 10 minutes gets cut in half. So I just forget the numbers, but you start off there. So now you have limited, even more limited supply over time. So during 2012, Bitcoin was five to 14 bucks. And then it went all the way up to over a thousand. And that's unsustainable. And then it crashes, or there's a dip, as I call it. And then you have a reset, which is really the best time to accumulate, right? Because it's not so volatile, but you can still do it in the dip. And then we see that, and then we saw it again in 2016. There was a halving. There was an all time high. There was a dip, there was a reset. That's where I made all my money. Mostly I was, I was actually DCing in the dip and also in the reset. Cause during those peaks, it worked out pretty well. And then we saw it again. So in 2020, there was a halving. And let me see, there we go. There was a halving in 2020. What happened in 2021? There was an all time high of 69,000. Then we had a dip, which we're going through right now in 2022. And there's going to be a reset in 2023, where I don't know that's going to happen, but as far as reset is going to be, but it's just not going to look exact like this. So in 2024, what's going to happen? A halving. And if we stay true the other four year cycles, we'll have an all time high in 2025. But in 2024, with that halving, it still looks okay. Because just like we had in the halving over here, remember the halving hit all time highs in 2016, as it was in 2013. So you'll see some pretty decent gains. If these things hold true, will they? I have no idea, but that's why we're here to see practice. So let's see. Small town crypto says halving all time high, 85% dip reset, 69K to 11K. Yeah, maybe. Who knows? 11K is for sure. Anytime someone says it's for sure. Not for sure, but maybe. Lower than that, can we wick? I see a buyer at three, you think Bitcoin is on a 3,000, 7,000 and 10,000. Man, I hope so. Can you imagine that? First of all, that thing that we talked about as far as the money, a lot of people will not be in the money at $3,000, including myself, I will not be in the money. So the question is, if you weren't in the money, would you buy? Could you do it? I can. For the things that I see, especially going on right now, there is really no reason besides the macro events of why we should be this low, quite honestly. I think that if you take a look at the growth that's going on, especially for, I mean, we just had a story yesterday on J.P. Morgan for Pete Sakes, who said they got out of real estate and they classify crypto and digital assets, not blockchain, crypto and digital assets as a premier asset class. And they're going that route. So that's just them. And then of course, we talked about some other big place that are gonna, the rails are there. The question though is who's manipulating it if there is manipulation. I love the same manipulation. You know why? Cause then people start to really spout off in the comments. Let's see. David, what's going on with Matic? Same thing, everything else is. It's going down. Although, why wouldn't Matic? Cause there's a big difference between what things will be worth in the future and what they are worth now. So right now, Matic's a great layer two solution for Ethereum. I think we can all agree that the Ethereum gas fees suck and it would be nice to have some layer two solutions. Like Bitcoin and Lightning Network. I mean, look at the transaction fees for those. So with Matic, I see Ethereum us not using Ethereum per se for 30, 45, $75 gas fees per transaction. That's not gonna allow it to scale. No one's gonna be able to do that except high net worth individuals and who cares about those guys? So we want some cheap transactions to make it super fast just to work. So that's where Matic comes in. Matic does some good things. They've also got, was it Matic? Polygon Studios. I guess Matic and Polygon. They take these play to earn or games that are not crypto enabled and bring them over to the play to earn site. Worked pretty well for Gensokishi, just saying. What do you think about Bitcoin Cash? I must be honest. I saw the reasoning for Bitcoin Cash as far as like transactions because it was like, well, we can't use Bitcoin for transactions. We saw it in 2017. We tried to use transactions with Bitcoin. Went to, it was too slow and too expensive. Trust me, I was there. And I was like, no way. It's something in a third world country gonna use Bitcoin for a transaction because you can't do that. Bitcoin Cash comes along. Roger Beer, who's been on the show. Super nice guy. Done a lot for the space. But with Bitcoin Cash, I'm like, I don't know why, what does it do? I mean, what does it do that, you know, Bitcoin Lightning Network can't do? I don't, I just don't see the point of it, honestly. And you can, you're welcome to be wrong. I'm wrong all the time. So, you know, don't just say, I got to sell my Bitcoin Cash because some guy on YouTube said it. I just don't see it. What? Remind me of this sweet baby Jesus, Pepper T, Bitcoin dominance of 99% at 3K price by August. That's a heck of a prediction. Oh yeah. Meta is making a lot of partnerships particularly with Instagram, come up with his entities. Did, yeah. Didn't Polygon, Meta, whatever. They had assigned a partnership with Meta, didn't they? I'm pretty sure they did. And I remember I talked about it. Hold on, that's a new one. So let me share my screen. Look at that. Yeah, Meta's Instagram is supporting entities from Ethereum, Polygon, Salon, and Flow. It's pretty amazing. So there we are. So yeah, I don't see why. I mean, if this news came out in the bull market, this would have been exploded, but didn't. So there we are. You know what, for giggles, let me play this again real quick. People attempting to protect those who know massively more than they do about the topic and who understand these products extremely well. Most of our users do, but I actually. Sorry. Oh yeah, and then this is another one I forgot about. Polygon is a partnership with Microsoft. So again, these things that we talk about, you would think that the price would reflect it, but no. But also take a look at what is the stock price of Meta then? Hasn't been too great. There's a lot of different things going on, a couple of issues. So maybe that's why. Yeah, it was a big beach, see it? All right, and then, okay. So Darth, Darth Mike says, what if the four year cycle doesn't play out? Things may change either extended cycle or shortened cycle, it's true. Darth Mike has, see that's the thing. Like, you can go to all, you can go to CNBC, you can go to SquawkBox, you can go to Twitter, you can go to YouTube. A lot of opinions out there about what it could potentially do. Very few will turn out to be correct. The question is which one is correct? I don't know which one is correct. And that was my dilemma in 2017 when everybody told me Bitcoin was going to a million, I figured out they're all a bunch of fricking liars. Fricking liars, that's, I did not say the F one. So with this one, the four year cycles, even I was like, maybe it didn't pan out because we hit a high in May, 2021 and in November, we hit another mini high of 63, correct me if I'm wrong, for Bitcoin and the market cap was okay. But then I was like, well, maybe the four year cycles doesn't work out. And then of course we saw that December was awful and in January was not the greatest. February, March, and then April, down we go. So does that mean that the four year cycles will definitely play out? And then of course, the extended cycle and me and Ben and James have talked about that on the show on DCA. And even Ben has said numerous times, I guess the extended cycle didn't work out. So the question is then with all the data that comes in, all the things that we have, how do we know for sure something will be correct? Well, you can play the odds and the percentages and go that way. I just don't have, I don't, I got a lot of things to do. I don't have time to look at charts all day. So I just say like this, I think that things are gonna go down. So I'll micro DCA into alts. I'll also, you know, keep DCing regularly into Bitcoin. So there's a chance it could go to 25K or 22K. And when people, I've learned my lesson to not give price predictions. So the thing is all I gotta do is just go, okay, well, if I hit it here at 30K and then 25K, then 22K, then let's just say for giggles, 15K and then 10K. So if I buy along these parameters, I'm okay because then the question then is, will it just go to zero? If you've watched this channel at a length of time, you know why I don't think it's going to zero and it's not just me, it's big players out there. So I think it will just essentially go up. When it'll go up, no idea. Maybe in those four year time frames we just talked about, maybe not, but that's why like the institutions, they don't have a one month, six month or one year outlook. It's a three, five, 10, 20 year outlook. And if you're China, it's like a thousand year outlook. Sure, hope that answers your question. Dmitri says, what do you think the top was April 21st and not November? I think we just talked about that. So yeah, April 21st, yeah, 69K, November, 63K for Bitcoin, we're over three trillion market cap days. If the top was April 21st, I personally believe on this cycle, that was the top. And that was it, that's all you get. And then I think we're just gonna go through this downward slog, that's it. And it'll take some time. So expect pain, but remember, if it was easy, everybody would do it. That's why I'm the show I don't give you a lot of hope in, like do crazy stuff. I try to give you both sides of the same story so you can make the best decision. And that's where I'm at personally. And I hope I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, great, jump in the pool. Oh, some of these comments. How come nobody talks about maker? I don't wanna answer this question. Hey, Rob, do you think there's any point in keeping Luna classic? Never had enough to pull it off the exchange and no airdrop. Look, I don't, there is no trust on my side. I will not touch it. You know, you got, in this, in crypto, you gotta, you know, you've really gotta start. And, you know, you do your best and hopefully you've, you, I hate to say it, hopefully you go slow enough and don't break too many people along the way. That's what happened here. And once you go that route, like I couldn't get into it personally. Now, could I be wrong and Luna classic goes back to a hundred bucks? No, I don't know. Maybe it goes to, well, I don't know, but I won't touch it because I don't trust it. I don't trust the guy behind it. Could he make something awesome happen? Sure, but I'm gonna miss a lot of opportunities and that's okay. I just need to be right a couple of times and I'll let the other 20, 30, 40 ones just die by the wayside. That was dark. I can't be. That's just how it is. And so this is a great, I don't know who Mr. Blue is, but if you want me to know everything, you know what's great about the bear market? Is people don't ask me about these ridiculous projects. Like, hey, Rob, what about pistachio coin? Don't you know it's got a 2000% APY? You should know about it. You're a mourn if you don't know. It's gonna be awesome. So annoying. So I'm glad this bear market is here so we can wipe out all the trash that are worthless coins. Sorry. So, yeah. David. Rob, what happened between James and George? Nothing. George, look, George over crypto Zoras was on DCA before. And like I said before, I'll say it again, he's got too busy. The guy does three streams a day. He also has a car channel. Have you seen the car channel? Interesting stuff. So like it was that one and then he had to DCA just didn't work out, you know? Ben does like one, I think he does like one a day and he does one for his private groups sometimes. So he had time. And then a CTO Larson's been on and blah, blah, blah. They did also had ran on from Crypto Banter. I read the comments there. It was not the greatest comments, but to each of their own. I like Ben too, perhaps. Where is it? Oh, there was one thing I need to talk to you guys about which was safety and scams, but I'll leave it for tomorrow. It was all about there was a piece of MSNBC where people were going to the wrong websites. Like instead of OpenSea, it was O-P-E-N-S-E-A, it was O-P-E-N-S-E-O, and people were going to a website that looked just like OpenSea and MetaMass, they would connect it and the funds got drained like that. And so just don't fall for that. If you're gonna go to any place, go to their, gosh, it's so tough. How do you, I mean, there's ways to find the correct ones. I think if you go to CoinGecko, they have like a list of the legitimate websites, but the thing with MetaMass is I don't know why they don't have like a phishing attack or a phishing attempt. Like if you go to OpenSeo, instead of OpenSea, why doesn't just notify you like immediately, like, hey, this is a unknown, this is not the correct website. It would just be so simple. But yeah, people get, it's cleaned out like that. Thank you, Guru. I appreciate you. Just don't dump your crypto money, you did. Okay, Guru, tell me what it is that I haven't answered your question. We'll go from there. Copy the address from CoinGecko and paste it in the wall. No, no, no, no, that's not what I'm saying. So Patrick, you'll be talking about contract addresses. So you can go to CoinGecko for any different project and from whatever it is, the contract address is there. I'm talking about the actual website itself. So when you go to the website, OpenSea, you link your MetaMask wallet, then it can drain it, especially if you do any transactions. So yeah, we're gonna read what they're signing. Yeah, planet race. Do you think the army guy is investing? Yeah, I'm an army guy. I invest in crypto. Well yeah, so Quandre says, what are they doing? Yeah, it's not just connecting your wallet. So you go to something like OpenSea and it looks just like OpenSea. They got plenty of time to make it look just like it. And then you say, I wanna buy a plot of land on the central land or on pick any Metaverse project as you want to. And they say, okay, I'm gonna buy this plot of land. This looks like a plot of land. Ooh, it's super cheap. It's only a one-eath. So let me do that. And then of course they go through the process and they lose their one-eath. So yeah, Rob, what's your take on Lightning Network? We just talked about this as far as like with Bitcoin Cash. It's fantastic for all the different transactions. And you had, there was a Bitcoin conference in Miami and Jack Moller's came up there because my always concern was this was like, well, if I'm gonna use Lightning Network, what about the capital gains? Of course, when I process this transaction from Bitcoin over to somebody else. And Jack Moller's had like a 20-minute presentation where he goes, you don't understand. There is no capital gains because it happens so fast. And then in the Lightning Network, second layer solution, we reduce those fees to almost nothing. I think it is almost, it's pretty much nothing. If you wanna pay somebody in euros and you have dollars or it goes from dollars to Bitcoin on the Bitcoin rails and it reaches those people in euros, but there's no capital gains. I'm like, that's brilliant. So that's great. So I don't see why it shouldn't take off, but again, exactly. Yes. Modern samurai, I almost wore that salmon shirt today. So the question is, is Robbie still bullish on Cardano? Honestly, can't wait to prove all the haters wrong. You know, the longer I'm in this in crypto, first of all, the more I realize just how much more there is to learn. And the second thing is, is that for all the rug pulls, for all the slowdowns and the shutdowns, for all the collapsing next darling project, Cardano's still here. And even though they take quite a long time to get things moving, is there a dex? Yeah, there's a, they have a dex. They have DeFi rolling, well, yeah. Do they have NFTs? Yeah, they do. And now they're working on a stable coin and are there different daps being built on it? Well, yeah, things are working out. And I don't know, people still call it a scam. I just don't get it. So I still think it'll do pretty well, especially with this, I don't say a process that I forgot it's supposed to increase the TPS and the throughput. If that comes in fruition, and it's not hydro, it's another one before hydro to come in. If that comes out and we increase it, what's the problem? Because if you were trying to transact on Cardano, super cheap, super fast, just works. So yeah, what else we got? And that's, we're coming up on an hour, everybody. My worry with Cardano is what happens when Charles gets hit by a bus. It's bigger than, in the beginning, there always has to be a figurehead, I think, unless you're Bitcoin. And then it doesn't really need it. But if Charles Hoskinson goes away, what happens to the project? Well, people are still building on it. There's still a lot of developers working. As far as I know, some people say there's nobody working on it. Okay, a lot of people still build on it. You can take a look at the ecosystem. I'll post it on Twitter today. So if something does happen, that's the whole point of decentralization. It's supposed to stay strong in the possibility that those negative things happen. All right, so yeah, guys, so that's it. We're going on an hour, and I got to get some other things done. So, if you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up. I'll consider subscribing. I'll need to talk about our time-sensitive, and that's it. So thanks so much for stopping by. Even the trolls, I love you guys. I love the trolls. Thanks so much, and I'll see you on the next one. Adios.
