 Plan B had a really good tweet that he put out I know this it wasn't his first one about but he talks about the six and 18 months Whereas you buy Bitcoin six months before they're having you sell 18 months and it's pretty much perfection And I had to take a look at that I go man if it's that easy and they were all in a pretty good place So we're gonna take it through the paces and see if it actually is correct And then we're gonna go over some good news and some other news So let's jump right into it. So there was this tweet and if you know plan B he was huge huge huge in the last couple of cycles where he talked about the stock to flow and everybody started to hate his guts as soon as it went off the rails and Plan B tried to defend it and it kind of went a little bit of wonky and I believe in he has said that it becomes invalidated but regardless You have to remember nobody's perfect Nobody gets it right all the time and this tweets is still Relevant and he says it quite burial He goes look want to buy six months before the having and sell 18 months after has historically beaten the buy-and-hold strategy The next having is an April 2024. Will this strategy work again? I gotta tell you this is pretty good timing and We'll take a look at it So the question you have to ask yourself is well Rob when we're the Bitcoin having is great question And there's been three so far fourth one is coming up on April 2024 depending It's all about how many blocks are being produced by Bitcoin and actually when it comes about But we got the first having was November 28 2012 second July 9 2016 and the third May 11 2020 So we're gonna go six months before and we're gonna go 18 months after and there's no better website Then DCA dash CC. I've been talking about this website for like three versions straight and our three videos straight and I gotta tell you It's they don't pay me a dime. I actually have to pay to use their website It's just a good website. I linked in the description below. You can check it out. So again, let's take this Six months before November 28th. We're gonna start on May 28 2012 And 18 months after November 28, 2013. That's the time frame and You can use whatever you want, right? You can say well I'm gonna put in $10 a day or $10 a week or $10 a month or $10,000 every three days or whatever it is and you can put it all in here and figure it all out for me I'm a simpleton and I just put a hundred dollars in every seven days That's what I did collect round numbers that's smart and you can see right here That okay the very beginning of May 28, 2012. It's a hundred for a hundred Then of course along the along the timeline you might go up. You might go down But over that time frame from six months before and 18 months after you would have crushed it in this first one now remember They call in white bear white paper 2008 Genesis block 2009 Wasn't around that long if you were able to get in here hold at the whole time not lose your private keys and not Get susceptible to all the flood Congratulations, you're up 50 X roughly because you had a total investment of $7,900 and you made almost $400,000 But wait What about the next one? July 9th 2016, okay six months before six months after or 18 months after so we go July 9, 2016 January 28, 2018 will it hold up? Yeah, it's pretty darn good. So again, you're coming here and 18 months after the having Actually the top would have been December 16 2017, but you missed it. It's okay No one gets the top all the time and it's very hard to get it once. I've never done it This would be my third cycle coming up. So let's say you do it over here All right, so you put an 8200 and you sold at 76,000 434. Hey, you're doing pretty good, right? Not too shabby and then of course the next one the third having May 11, 2020 if we did it again And we came all the way over here you didn't hit the top But you were pretty darn close and 8100 to 22,000 which I gotta tell you isn't that great of a return if you think about it What is that? That's a two and a half X. It's not that great if you do 2020, but regardless He is right. It is a pretty good plan so far that plan be put out and It would check all the boxes for the past now will this happen again anybody's guests. I believe it's Ben and plan B who say all models All models are wrong and some are actually useful and this one right here looks like it'd be so it's Up to you to decide what you want to do, but again April 2024 is right around the corner. So maybe take a look at Bitcoin and maybe share this video with your friends and also Not to be outdone if you want to take a look at some other examples You can of course put it was in DC dash CC, but we talked about this yesterday I'm not gonna go over it watch the video yesterday There's a link in the description and I take you all the way from Bitcoin on different time frames Uniform your cycle also Ethereum how much you would get also Cardano historically speaking Also chain link which really beat the pants off everything and then also just to remind yourself that dash assault not everything's awesome And then if you don't even do that and go forward there's a great website It's a hundred percent free Dan teaches crypto and I go over some things in the investing portion Where I talk about some cycle top callers which you can say by cycle top and UPL time and risk band We talked about yesterday cycle bottoms to your MA well and reserve risk so on and so forth in an updated video of When I'm going to sell 80% of all my crypto and go from there. So That concludes that part for plan B. So let me reiterate It's pretty right so far on this one now stock to flow. Hey, even he said it didn't work out But who's going to nail them all the time? So let's move past that and talk about some good news and then maybe some not so good news so This came up as far as good news goes just in Watch your guru with 650 billion dollar asset manager Bernstein says the SEC is likely to prove a Spot Bitcoin ETF and who is Bernstein? Well, they are a private wealth management company again 650 billion dollars assets that are management and they're like, yep, it's gonna happen I personally do not believe it's gonna happen, but I'm waiting to be proven wrong. So we'll see how it goes I just don't understand how Fidelity and arc and black rock they all went with the custody service, which is Coinbase and said, you know what? We know you guys are fighting with the SEC, but you guys are the custody. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong Hope I'm wrong. I will gladly be wrong, but this these Individuals who dabbling Finance seem to say that I am totally incorrect. So let's hope that's true. Also on regulation Bittrex Bittrex comes out just like Coinbase and argues that the SEC lacks authority to apply securities laws to crypto and does not Delist anything there was a story that just came out from Revolut and they started to do the list I believe it was Cardano Solana and then one other one which was named as a security by the SEC So just pay attention to the ones that are standing firm against the SEC and what they're doing also I thought this is very interesting is That one of the problems with with Bitcoin in general is the miners because the miners at some point They have to sell because they have to keep the lights on right? I know Michael say that was so that's very stupid never sell But I mean no honesty if you're a Bitcoin miner and you are mining Bitcoin You probably should sell some Bitcoin so you can keep mining said Bitcoin But there's an alternative and this one might actually stabilize the market a little bit more So Bitcoin miners are pivoting to new markets. Here's what we got hut eight best known as Bitcoin money coming with facilities in Alberta Canada and Texas is A great example hot eight recently signed a contract to provide high HPC is high performance computing for clients in Canada's health sector It's more access to the facilities and the people who know the business Felman says one of the CEOs or founders of cooling for example is important in any high capacity Computing environment in both Bitcoin mining and high performance computing. They all have to have that set up Hut eight iris energy hive and cypher can repurpose facilities provide HPC diversifying the business seems like there's a tremendous amount of man and also on top of that I Didn't know this but this is from Newswire and hut eight. They have five data centers like you talked about They do co-location which apparently is to rent out your space to third parties So if you have servers again, they can put it in there in their space public and private cloud Managed services to government private sector and nonprofit Across variety of industries including finance gaming tech AI and more Why does is anybody care about what I'm talking about and it's the reason for this? if you have an alternative revenue stream and you don't have to sell your upset Bitcoin Which means that there is not the sell pressure because all these miners are dumping It's pretty good because that means that you have an alternative stream of revenue And you don't have to depend on selling said Bitcoin. So to me I think this is good news and it's a win in that category. I'm gonna think about that in the comments section Now let's talk about Regulation to where I'm gonna applaud what Singapore did here. Now. I'll tell you why Singapore regulator bans crypto exchanges I Applied that From lending staking for retail investors. I totally applaud this. I know this will not be popular, but just stick with me This is what's going on Country's chief financial regulator will enforce a ban on lending and staking for retail individual traders as opposed to institutional clients The regulator will also require the exchanges move customers digital assets into a trust before the end of the year This is to prevent an FTX style scenario Where their funds are commingled or traded and it goes on to some other stuff, but it gets boring. Here's the thing Lending I think is a mistake in general For the lending services because here's the here's the problem with crypto It's pretty volatile right maybe in 20 30 years is not so volatile and then maybe we can take a look at that I suppose so or maybe you get into something like what meld does Where you actually gain a yield on the amount that you actually put in because it's put it into staking services However, for the vast majority, this is not going to be a really great option for lending. I'm gonna tell you why when you lend Let's say you put up 10 Bitcoin you need $300,000, right? So if you're $300,000 actually, let's say you need 150,000 you have to double. Yeah, the 2x what Bitcoin is actually worth For collateral now, let's say that there's a black swan event. Let's say the Biden administration for some reason gets reelected No, and then all of a sudden they come out and Gary again. Just like you know what? I'm gonna crack down harder And you know what operation choke point 3.0 comes about and all of a sudden everything's going down in crypto now Bitcoin that was worth 31,000 over is today is now worth $15,000 guess what you get margin calls and if you don't have that margin You have to get everything liquidated as fast as possible. There goes all your Bitcoin So lending process is kind of a problem if you start to lend out in that situation Oh and one more thing when that happens and they liquidate you Do you know that's a taxable event and you know what that means if you held that less than a year here in America You're looking at short-term capital gains tax on top of all the money that you're gonna owe So on that part I agree lending not a great idea. That's just me. I could be wrong Trust me in the last bull run. I had people calling me a moron because I wouldn't lend out my crypto To get a loan to buy more crypto I remember a ton of people telling me that Luna was the next greatest thing of all time and they were Collateralizing their Bitcoin to have money to buy Luna and guess what happened. It was everything. So good luck And as far as like staking goes like that, I Just don't like it because I like that little decentralized Little decentralization as far as what it is when you have like a Binance or a coin base They're staking everything it kind of gets away from the purpose. That's just me. Also. I'm super biased Because I have a cardano stake. So thank you for what it's worth I don't like either of them. So I'm glad they did this. Hopefully you'll protect it And they won't get an fdx situation. Anyhow, let me know where I'm wrong on that one and then also Let's talk about some bets. I'm not so good news we'll say this is what I were talking about before There's a little hiccup with that Hong Kong situation If you don't remember about a month ago Hong Kong came out and said that we're going to allow Crypto exchanges and we're going to pull in investors not just institutional size, but retail side We're a lot of people to buy and that's great for Hong Kong, but you got to remember Hong Kong is not part of mainland China Hong Kong is roughly 8 million people and China is roughly 1.2 billion It's a very different system. What is it one country two systems something like that? and Here's a little reality check on China because everybody thought that Hong Kong would just go over with spillboard China Which I thought to so too, but I guess not There's been a shake-up at China Central Bank Pan gong shing nailed it was named the top Communist Party official at the People's Bank of China The move potentially puts pan and the running for the People's Bank of China's governor and was viewed as a signal of policy continuation at the institution Which in 2021 declared all crypto-related transactions illegal pan Made this statement in the midst of an earlier clampdown on crypto And he said if you sit in the by the river and watch one day the corpse of Bitcoin will float in front of you He said in 2017 pan back then also defended regulatory action against crypto and professed to being a little scared to contemplate What would have happened if China hadn't curved digital assets and before I go on it. We'll just say this Jamie diamond at JP Morgan. He said the same type of things for quite some time now All of a sudden JP Morgan is getting into the crypto game Also, Larry Fink from BlackRock said that there was no institutional demand for Bitcoin and crypto whatsoever And they just applied for a Bitcoin ETF So I understand that people say well people's opinions can't change and they definitely do right? I mean even Michael Saylor back in the day said that Bitcoin was irrelevant and look where he's in now However, it goes on Based on my knowledge No people's Bank of China governor would support Bitcoin said David Q chief Economist at Bloomberg economics what happens in Hong Kong is irrelevant as the China mainland usually views Hong Kong as an overseas market Senior officials outside the central bank are also critical of Bitcoin and the government isn't said focused on developing the digital you on Q Edit, which I gotta tell you makes a lot more sense Digital you on you have a lot more power than you do with Bitcoin And from my understanding China really does like to have that over their citizens Tell me where I'm wrong in the comment section. Maybe it's all smoke and mirrors. Maybe they're just saying that so they can control Bitcoin Just doesn't seem feasible to me and then also Story came out. I'm sure you've heard about this Vitalik buttern declares he is not staking all of his ETH merely a small portion. I find this quite odd He did say it was complicated a bunch of ways And his exact quote was if you stake your ETH the keys that access it have to be public on a subsystem That is online for safety is to be a multi-sig Multi-sig for staking is still fairly difficult to set up. It gets complicated in a bunch of ways so look I Had to tell you that is not instill confidence in me and Ethereum staking. I That's what I've read so far. This could have been taken out of context Maybe later on the show I listened to most of it Maybe later. I missed something and he said no, no, I was just kidding. I stake all of it But to me when I take a look at that I'm like if that's my product and that's my company you better damn be sure I'm gonna stake the hell out of it And I'm gonna make sure that the people that are around me feel comfortable That's just how I would do it. But maybe if my product isn't 100% maybe I wouldn't just something to think about maybe I'm wrong Which leads me to my last points, which is this I have to congratulate The Cardano ecosystem They are crushing it right now if you go to coin gecko and you click on Categories and there's a bunch of categories you look at layer L1 smart smart platform I never can remember where Cardano is so I'm going to Do a quick search and cheat there it is number 86 Cardano ecosystem and You can take a look at here. Here's the ecosystem that is Cardano. I know some people say it's a ghost chain It's awful and whatever else sure. I mean it's debatable I mean it's sure as hell hasn't lived up to its its potential. Let's just say that it's got a long way to go I think everybody could agree that there's a long runway For that here's the ecosystem road mobile token meld indigo protocall The Jed Jed Charlie and power verboto if we take a look here like indigo synthetics stuff like that If you look over the last 30 days how it's done. It was that three dollars just in The fourth of June three dollars now. It's a 376. Let's take a look at 90 days Not too bad. I don't know if Bitcoin's done this, but it was a dollar 69 That's that 368 two and a half acts pretty good. How about a year? Not too bad. How about max? Let's see still pretty good 345 and it is above. It's all-time high. So again, congratulations to the current ecosystem same thing with liquid Over we'll start with 30 days doing pretty good for 38. Here it is 90 days 764 still kind of back one year. Oh take that back not too great But again, there's a lot of different things that are in the ecosystem cars are a sardana Wi-Fi Doing quite well and if you really want to take a look at things How they're doing as far as dApps and so on and so forth. There's a great website linked in the description dApp radar And if you want to take a look at all the dApps that are going on we search domains Sardano The other things are going Here's all the current dApps and if you want to Number of unique active wallets. Let's just take a look at volume Men swap 9.73 indigo protocol over the last 24 hours 100,000. Let's go over 30 days That's a little better one more click Men swap 30 days half a billion dollars indigo protocol 30 million almost 20 million for Sunday swap and 20 now again If you go through everything We'll take a look at aetherium because I know the aetherium maxis will hate me if I don't show this But Rob What about everything that's built on the aetherium and you do have a point I'll give it to you In 30 days uniswap v3 is 91 billion balancer 10.4 one inch number. Those are those are Dex's Curve uniswap dodo 1.95 Uniswap. Well, it's just yeah Polygon bridge half a billion so I Think things are catching up, but it's not where it could be and once you think about that and then lastly lastly Some I found very interesting Top blockchain daps over all chains last seven days Sweat sweat coin Don't roll your eyes yet Sweat coins doing good things. We talked about this on the Dan D gen channel volume isn't fantastic balances Unique addresses is still pretty good. You know, we take a look at 30 days Number four out of all the daps that are out there number four and just so you know Why I'm excited about it. First of all It's because I invested into it. That's why and I'm biased Shocker Is that on September 12th of this year? They are coming to America with their sweat wallets meaning that you can have the app itself Which had it was the number one health and fitness app in 58 different countries I think globally almost it was to 200 million downloads not too shabby Then it has over 13 million different crypto wallets Which is? Sweat coin and now finally gets to come to America. So we'll see how that all works out and lastly Everybody's excited yesterday last night about this Gary Genzer story. And there was a bunch of people Let's call a spade a spade bunch of youtubers out there who were like Gary Genzer is getting fired He's resigning and da da da and I'm like, are we in crazy town? That's not gonna happen He's not gonna resign yet. He's got a lot of things to do He's got a lot of people to put in their place and it's not gonna happen And I did a little tweet and today here it was and did you know I found this very fascinating Which is this the story itself was created by AI and the website itself on crypto alert It was just registered When was it? The website domain the crypto alert was registered at 447 p.m. On June 24th. They ran it through this thing called AI No, no, it's not what it's called Zero GPT where you can put text through and see if it's actually been created by by AI and it said it's a 96% match So this website was created It wrote a fake article and it was so good that the SEC was forced to comment Within 24 hours and said that no our guy Gary is not going to It's not going to resign. I found it fascinating of how things move with AI, but hey new brave new World and that's it for today. So look if you like today's video want to spend all the time me great I'm glad to have you hit the thumbs up consider subscribing. I don't care who you subscribe to but just like plan B was talking about In these next months up to the having and beyond in 2025. I think we're gonna see some pretty big things Stay alive and thrive the 2025 and that's it
