 you're so inclined, stick around. We'll do a little Q and A, and then of course the big games later, so let's go over it. But thanks everybody on a Sunday, on a Supergirl Sunday. Thanks, I appreciate it. I was gonna get like just maybe like me and Diesel and Cat, Tesla, J2 day. Oh, we're gonna be here, meme, and that would be it. Markey, the legend, digital assets, and golfer, whatever he's at. So yeah, but you guys are here, so I appreciate it, thank you. He says, I was listening to more crypto online of paid membership, I drive everything for Rob's free content, yeah. It's just kind of like a little rally. Like this was a pretty bullish, I felt like it was a pretty bullish video, but things are going pretty well. It's a funny thing though, every time we think we know where the market's going, it does the exact opposite. So like last week when I put that video out where I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna lump some and I was like, ugh, probably have a Black Swan event, World War III, Skynet, AI, or something will collapse everything, but it worked out, so maybe, maybe it'll keep going on. Jason says, thanks for the info on Celsius, et cetera. You're welcome, thanks Simon Dixon for stopping by. If you didn't watch that video, it was from yesterday, I took you through the steps of when you get the distribution from the email, you take that code and you punch it into Venmo and or PayPal, I told you why I use Venmo, and then how to transfer that into your cold storage device or Coinbase and move it around. So I showed you all that stuff yesterday, it was good. Fun times had by all. Chris says, Treadfy don't care, but believe me, banks do, they deal in 99.9% of tiles. That could be true. Shalon says, this is a good point. Yeah, but stock market goes down when someone makes that decision, not when things get congested. Yeah, that's true. Well, this one, now as I understand it, it wasn't a congestion issue with Solana, they can handle a lot. It was some kind of infinite loop. Now, if you're a developer out there, feel free to correct me, but it looks like there was some kind of bug. And like James will say, hey, it's just in beta. It's the longest beta I've ever heard of or whatever. Diesel says, I'm a degenerate, I have nothing but Bitcoin. See, probably sleeps great at night, probably has no problems. Let's see. So Chami Nola says like this, why would you, this is a good question. Why would you buy Bitcoin? You left fiat dollar, now you want to take profits and go back to the dollar. Why? I don't get this mindset. Stay in Bitcoin, dump your dollar, close your Chase account. You can do that. You can do that. The thing is though, there's usually what happens, it might not work out like this. There's so much natural exuberance that people get into it. The exuberance outpaces the adoption and the technology. Happened in 2013, happened in 2017, happened in 2021. What happened? Well, in 2013 went up to $1,000. Bitcoin, roughly about a thousand bucks, right? Then it crashed around 80%. Then in 2017, we almost hit 20,000. And then how much did it crash? Roughly 80 something percent. And then of course I wanted it to 67, 69,000. What did it crash to? 15, 7. So when someone says, why would I go back into dollars? It's because if your goal is to own as much Bitcoin as you possibly can, there is a point where it gets too overvalued. The great thing is, is that it's not like we're going all the way back to the 1920s when we're taking a look at the gold standard and it would take you a century to get back to where you're actually, you know, actually valued it. You can take that money out, hold it, wait for things to crash, buy right back in. Wouldn't it have been great? Just saying, to take 67,000, let's say you have one Bitcoin, sell that at the top. Maybe not the, maybe 60,000, right? You sell at 60,000 and it goes on to 15,000. Maybe you missed that and you get a 20. So now instead of having one Bitcoin, hey, you got three. So some people say, that's not for me. I'm just gonna buy and hold and let it all go. It worked out pretty well if you did then 2010, 2011, 2012. Actually, if David take a listen to Preston Pish, he says, if you're looking at a four year cycle or any four year timeframe, even if you bought at the very tip top of all four year cycles, he goes, you'd still be up massively. So it depends on what you wanna do. Me personally, I'm a big believer in the four year cycles. I think we're gonna have a massive run up. I think we're gonna have a massive draw down. I don't know what's gonna be 80. This time I think we're at 77% from the top to the bottom from 67, 69, 67,000 all the way to 15,7. Maybe we drop 50%. I'm gonna take the Simon Dixon route and say, hey, as long as I have more Bitcoin at the end of the month or at the end of the timeframe, I'm happy. So hope it answers your question very long. But again, it all comes down to what you believe in and what you wanna do. Steve says, so they can shut down the network when they desire, can't be good. I don't know if they shut, I don't know if Solana shut it down. I think it was the infinite loop that shut it down. APZ says, Rob, what's your view after you've taken profits? Buy back in the bear dip. So that's another good question. And it comes out of this, which would go in line with the last question we just had. Why would you go back into fiat when we know that it inflates away, right? We see it happen all the time. Am I going to sell all my crypto? Like, there's a video, there's a link. Let me show it to you. There's a link in the description. And it looks like this crypto critical. Why and when I'm selling 80% of my crypto in 2025? I should really change it to 2024 or 2025 because it's all depends on indicators. Picycle Top, MBRBZ Score, Time and Risk Bands and a host of other things. So when I do that and I get out, I'm sitting on cash. When you're sitting on cash, you're waiting for opportunities because once you get into cash as an investor, you know that this cash, it only works for a finite amount of time. And the more that you sit on it, the more it is melting, like a big block of ice. You have to deploy that capital into other investments at some point, because if you just sit on it, it'll get inflated away. So once you get into this situation, I would say, you're never gonna stop. I hate to tell you that, but that's pretty much how it is. Unless you're just like, you know what? I'm just gonna go into Bitcoin and I don't really care. I'm gonna take it in and out, in and out. I don't care if it goes up or down. I'm just gonna buy, I'm gonna hold. And when I need it, I'm gonna use it. Because remember, let me pull this up. So I don't, so I say the right thing, which is this. Bitcoin isn't true wealth. It's not. If you're homeless, or let's say you have a home and you're in foreclosure and you can't afford to buy groceries and you have a credit card debt of $10,000 or more with an APR of 27%, you're not wealthy. You're just making it. Bitcoin isn't true wealth. True wealth is your health, time you spend with your family, experiencing you with friends, peace of mind, loved ones, daily purpose, and the overall feeling that you have everything under control, that's wealth. Bitcoin can help you get those things, but it is not those things. So I know some people will disagree with me and say, no, Bitcoin's all those things. But I'm telling you, I've had all these issues. And I can tell you with certainty that's what Bitcoin can do for you. That's what is more important. It's not just about having a bunch of Bitcoin in a cold storage wallet. You're free to disagree with me, comments in the section, but I always feel it's what he can do. So that was that. Super, super verse. Yeah, we have no life rough. It's okay. It's fun. It's fun to talk with this stuff, right? Brian, Gary, Rao's best advice ever was a tangent. Love it. Swap feature is amazing. I don't get to use that much. Probably because I'm in America. Any word on staking directly? Didn't they originally say to similar? They did. Brian, you're right. Let me send them a message. I kid you not. On a Sunday, they might answer. Nikita, Nikita, there he is. Hey, Nikita, I'm on a live stream and people are asking about the staking directly. Period. When is that gonna actually happen on Tangem? Thanks. All right. He's the head of development. So he should get back to me at some point. Let's see. He goes crypto. Neem says, I must confess, I watched the Super Bowl of the commercials. How do you do that here in Puerto Rico? Because the last Super Bowl I saw, it was all like local ads. Like I didn't see like the mainland ads. So if you know how that is, you know how to get a whole mix. I'd like to know. I love the ads. Rob is part of the family and house. Thank you. Is this the official EOS channel? It is now. So remember those 67 plus other cryptos I have? One of those is EOS. And man, and Beardy can attest to this. When EOS came out, Dan Larimer, bit shares I think it was, it was the next great thing that was going to be the next Ethereum killer. And they were the original ones that were gonna do airdrops. And you were able to like do everything on their platform. And it was just gonna be this monstrous project and everything was gonna go to it. One guy even had a million dollar bet with his coworkers that it would be like, I think like in the top two. And of course that didn't happen. And he owed a lot of money. But yeah, again, another example of where you think, you know, you think things were going, doesn't happen. That's why I say diversify a little bit. I know the market's going on the moon. I like that. And my source is trust me, bro. Mighty Mag says I'm a developer. Great. Mag, tell me how wrong I was there. Not a beta, like VHS. VHS is the bomb. I can tell it was a bunch of old people in the comment section. I appreciate that. Ian says, any microcap pics you're looking at Rob or should I head over to Dan? Check the Dan D. Gen channel. That's like I said, like, like here is a more conservative approach. But over on Dan D. Gen, it's kind of like, well, you're either going to lose everything or you're going to make some pretty good gains. One of those two things will happen. And it's just super risky over there. But I tell you in the beginning all the time, like I invest in this, this is super risky, you're probably going to lose everything. That's why I tell my, even like my friends that, like I tell them about projects. And I'm like, hey, do you want to get in? Like, what do you think? I'm like, well, you're probably going to lose everything. And they usually don't invest with me. But it helps me when, you know, if they do lose everything, it hasn't happened yet. Facts, Markey. Oh, great. Thanks you. Sad but true. There you go. Oh, right. That went over well. I'm surprised. Tron said, I think it was going to be an FTX ad. That would be great. Dash, dash assault. Oh, dash is another one, man. We aren't older wise, exactly. Tell that to my knees and my spine, but big boy, Bantzen, Bantzen, Markey, you are not. That is true. That's a good way to put it, Ian said. Not necessarily a DGEM plays more fundamental micro plays. Yeah, it's a good one. Fundamental micro plays. Fundamental micro degeneracy. MJ's got a good question. Robbie's still actively using ledger, not actively using ledger. Mostly that one is the real cold, cold. What I've been doing is, everything that was in ledger, I pretty much just stuck there, made sure that my seed phrases in a secure place, but then for my, how did it go? Ah, here it is. For the ledger, I mean the tandem. I just kept everything that I do now with when I buy on Coinbase, once a week I transfer everything into my tangent wall. I don't even touch the ledger anymore. I kind of just feel like that's got enough in there and then I move it around. But I have to do this review. I have to do this review on LEPAL. They sent me these cold storage wallets. And I have one already, but they sent me this new one, this Titan Mini. So I've got to do this review as soon as possible. And it works pretty well. But again, everybody has their own opinion. I think it's good. I don't think it's personally as good as Tangem, but some people might like it. APZ says, Tangem is awesome. I have two ledgers and I'll use them. I think that's, you're gonna see a lot of that. EOC equals bit, then 20.0. I could see that, sure. Rob, please check Litecoin. You know who loves Litecoin? Tommy Crown. Tom's always, he loves that. And it couldn't do great. I think, like I've said before, whatever you own, you guys are probably gonna do fantastic in this bull run. Whatever it is. I mean, it's like, that's usually what happens in these bull markets. So again, I appreciate you guys, the non-tourists that are here, because when the tourists get here, it's annoying. And we got to deal with them so we can dump on them. Now I'm just kidding, but not really. I did. It's okay. Like we said, we're wise. I've made worse purchases. Yeah, trust me, so have I. Yeah, Crypto Poppy says, I'm super bullish on near earth. I mentioned them in sharing, sharding. Sharding, sharing, and again, et cetera, before ETH. Yeah, sharding. Why aren't they worth more, Rob? It's a good question. It's the same question that I asked people when I said that I'm gonna do a across Europe tour. And I said, what's the best restaurants out there? And they gave me a bunch of different recommendations like this is the greatest place in France, this is a great place in Spain, this is in these places in the pubs, and I was like, yeah, that's true. All those places sound awesome, but you know what historically has been the best restaurant or best food place as far as like the amount of revenue generated, McDonald's. And it's the worst place you can possibly eat. It's not even fast anymore, definitely not cheap anymore. It's not simple, but yet because of marketing and in the public consciousness, it dominates everywhere. Even if you're in Europe or across, definitely across the United States, a bunch of fat people here. But you know, for that to answer your question about NIR, why not? Probably because it just hasn't found its footing. I think it's gonna do quite well with as the founder, the founder came on from NIR and said, it's all about chain abstraction, making sure that everything happens in the background and no one sees what it is and people will use our product. And it is interesting though, as well, if you take a look at Ilya, that's who it is. Let's prove it. Take a look at all categories for the highest, let's just take it over 30, not 24 hours, let's do 30 days. The most unique act of wallets, the percentage of the volume and the balances and stuff like that, it's mostly NIR. You got Play Ember, number five, Jupiter exchange, that's on Solano, okay, great. Sweat economy, one of my favorites, it's practically a stable coin essentially, hasn't moved in like, I don't know how long, it's on NIR, Kai Ching, number one, NIR. And there's a unique act of wallets, volume across the board, it's looking pretty good. Again, at a top five, you got three, they just keep doing things. You know what to answer your question? I'll tell you why it is actually. They actually have utility. The market is not moved by utility. It's a good narrative, but it's a bunch of BS. I'm gonna show you, what moves the market is liquidity, hype and people speculating. Here's a prime example, Alluvium. Had the Foundron, great guys, Kieran's brother. In 2021, it was almost $2,000 per token. Was that because the game was awesome? Well, the token had fantastic utility? No, it was just speculation it was the peak of the bull run. Now they got four games out, and how much is it worth? Less than a hundred bucks. Let's take a look at healing. Alluvium has a working mobile plan that you can buy right now, $20 on limited talk, text and data. Now they moved over to Solana, but look, they didn't have squat back in November, 51 bucks, now it's below eight. So again, what moves the market? It's not because it's something that's awesome, it's just speculation. It's just liquidity, it's quantitative easing, and that's pretty, and hype. That's really it. Now, on some of these projects, Bitcoin is a little bit different, I must admit. And then there actually is real world function, but that's for everybody, that's for all the geniuses to debate. I don't, I'm just here to change my pocketbook. All right. Oh, yeah, on mine that Helium IoT, but still stacking that HNT, which is the other token for using Helium. That's great, good for you, man. Same question for Algo. Algorand? Yeah, thing works like a charm, right? Never goes down. McCalley, the guy behind the genius that was actually quoted in the Ethereum's white paper, doesn't do much, practically a stablecoin seems like. I don't know. It's funny, just kidding. Let's see, Tristan says any other deep ends, centralized public infrastructure networks, don't forget some of the OGs, Theta, World Mobile Token, and a new one I like, HyperCycle. Also another one that's out called Gamin, G-A-I-M-I-N. Take a look at them using essentially the gamer's video cards, which are essentially a SuperCupider, if you really have it. And they're using that to mine data, or no. I don't know, excuse me. The processing power is used for the AI companies because it's much cheaper just to use somebody else's than as opposed to building a warehouse, staffing it, buying their computers, buying the chips and everything else, paying taxes, keeping the lights on. Why would they do that? Let's just use everybody's computers across the world and pay them in tokens. Makes sense to me. Ah, yes. This is a great question. When Flappy Birds? Next week, apparently if the legal process or our legal team would get their everything going. So if you guys don't know, we're re-releasing Flappy Bird, the classic game, on the 9th of February. It was the 10-year anniversary when it actually got taken down. So we obtained the trademark and IP rights, intellectual property. It's now registered at the USPTO, the Patent and Trademark Office. And we have pre-validation with the Android Store as well as the Apple Store. So it'll be in Web 2. Great news, it's 100% free in Web 2. Also great news, it's free in Web 3. Did I say that correctly? Yes, it's free in Web 2 and it's free in Web 3. Free, free, free. However, if you'd like to use the token to gamble with each other, that's fine. If you'd like to use the token to upgrade your cosmetics or your scans or something like that, that's fine. If you wanna use it for staking or just regular wards, that's also fine too. Or if you'd like to have IP revenue share, and I'll explain that when I do a talk, the IP revenue that we get from Web 2, if you'd like to share in some of that, because we're putting the trademark and the IP online on the blockchain, maybe you'd like to be a part of the whole process. That's up to you though, those are optional. If not, just play the game. 95% of you will not go to Web 3. Well, not here, I think it's a little bit different. Most of the people we Web 2, they'll play the game, we'll have either, they'll use fiat to upgrade, maybe two to 3% will upgrade their cosmetics or skins, or they'll watch the ads, or they'll pay to turn the ads off or whatever, and they'll play the game because it's addictive. It's fine. Then some people will come over to Web 3, do the stuff we just talked about. All right. Princess Fiona, that's good. Thanks for having been here since 2020. You're the best, can't wait for the run. Me either can I. And we're all waiting for it, we all did it, but we did the hard stuff, right? Stuck around when it was boring, watched one-on-one sideways, we did a great job, everybody did a great job. Danny says, don't go to McDonald's, we visit Spain, France, Italy, or Greece, I will. McDonald's is still a better place than some of those tourist traps you guys have over there. And that's why I asked for advice because last two times we went there was for a guy's event at Coin Bureau when we did a speaking engagement, and we went to all the touristy crappy places and it was the worst food of all time. And I was like, what the heck happened? Alpha Games says I'm running a hyper-cycle node. Very nice, I have my node up and almost running. So I got away for Jerry Hall to come in and help me set it up. Ivan says, what about quantum computing? I think this is the question that a lot of people will ask. Well, if we have quantum computing, couldn't that break the blockchain, couldn't break the ability for us to have the private key, the mnemonic phrases and kind of decrypt everything? Well, here's the thing. If we have quantum computers and they can do that with Bitcoin and all blockchain, we got a hell of a lot more problems than just that. Think of every single person's bank account in every single city and every single state and every single country around the world. Now let's talk about all the different private data that's out there that you store on your computer that you really shouldn't. And of course you have a quantum computer that could potentially probably break into that. Now let's take a look at the governments across the world. If there's a quantum computer and they can break into everything, I'm telling you, we got a way bigger problem than somebody saying, hey, someone took my Bitcoin. Armageddon. Yeah. Everything would go down. I don't know about everything, but we'll see. Oh, that's a good one. Romanian said, still waiting for McDowell's to open because they have the golden arches, we have the golden arcs. What does Akash do? Akash is kind of like Filecoin. Essentially it's decentralized file storage. So like one of our, one of the wallets that I use, Titus Wallet, they don't use AWS or Google to store all their data, all their files, everything else. They use Akash to do that. That's why sometimes there's a little bit of a lag or a downtime. It's because Akash is updating their platform. With AWS and Google, it never goes down. That's why Phantom Wallet knows they stay up because that's what they use. Some people say it's not decentralized and it's true, but is it important to you that your wallet is decentralized? That's up to you. I would like it to be, but hey. Ah, that's a good one. I didn't know that. Shallon says quantum computer, computing also opened the ability to add more than 2048 words and the BIP, they're on a list too. Your 24 words could have more combination than Adam's in the universe. Yeah. I think that was another question. Some people said, well, can I just guess the 12 or 24 words? And they said that there's more atoms in the world than the combination or something like that. So you can probably get the first two or three right, but to get 12 or 24 is almost impossible. When 50K, tomorrow, thumbs up. Great way to end it. All right, buddy, that's good. I'm just stealing time from you. Get out of here, go do something. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it. Like today's video, give it a thumbs up, consider subscribing. Have any talk about as time sensitive and everything is going to accelerate as we get into the halving, which I think is roughly 70 days away. And yeah, that's great. Enjoy the game today. If you're in America and if you're not, then it doesn't make a difference. Just have a good day. Thanks everybody. See you on the next one. Adios.
