 Let's do some questions. This ought to be good. Hi, how's it going? Dave, that's a great question. Dave, that's the question of the day. One moon at this point. At this point, I'll just take just a small low orbit atmosphere, quite honestly. That'd be good. Let me put on my nerd glasses. The glasses aren't for telling me. See, it's to stop me from getting headaches. I'm on my computer like all the time. Ah, let it rip, damn. Now this is a great question. Cubby tie. Just call a DCA and don't let Ben now. Ben, look, Ben's a smart guy. James is a smart guy. They're both really smart guys. And they have their theories about what's happening and which way they want to do it. Actually, the last DCA, me and Ben said that we had too much risk and James said I didn't have enough risk. So there's always different philosophies. But I think the outcome is, of course, gains. The question is how many and how much and the percentage of gains. That's the big thing. So for me, I just try to be a little bit more conservative. And that's what I do. So this is probably not it. So yeah. Yes, Dan does the news, Rob does the Q and A. Yeah. So like reverse Superman, I put the glasses back on. Money says, Rob, I don't have a question. I just want to thank you for sharing. Thank you. Appreciate it. Disagreeing is okay. Kirk says, hello from South America. Do you feel we're going into crypto winter? Sure feels like it, doesn't it? Feels like it almost feels like 2018, but not really. Because in 2018, we went from 20 to 5,000. So we're like a 75% drop. So 69 to 30. Well, it's getting, it's not 75%, but it's getting close to it. So we'll see. Oh, that's a great question. So P. Kelly says, Rob, when I trust capital staking, fantastic question. And it's something that I am going to address with them when I go to consensus in Austin in two weeks. So if you're in the Austin area to stop by, we're going to do a meet and greet with iTrust someplace. I don't know. But that's the big question. You can bombard them with that same question because I'm going to do the same thing. Damn, I'd really like to have staking in my Roth IRA because imagine this. You stake your Cardano or your Ethereum. I think they have Solana now. I'm not for sure. You stake it. The rewards that you get just go into your Roth IRA and there's no tax on it. Zip, zilch, nothing. That would be pretty smooth. But I don't know when. Because I've already asked them personally. They're like, Q3? Yes, exactly. I do look like the near one casino. It's not as robust as that guy was. Question, when bottom? Nobody knows. We can make some pretty good guesses, but who knows? I think this is the real beauty of dollar cross averaging. But you've got to be aware, like let me show you something. So here's my favorite example. First of all, XRP would have done a heck of a lot better if it wasn't for the SEC. They really screwed them. All right. So this is Cardano and I remember buying Cardano at 74 cents and I'm around a dollar. I can't remember. And then I bought it for like, it wasn't 60. Like 30 some cents. I thought that was a genius. And it just kept going down and down and down. But the thing was is that I was buying like, at first I was buying every day. Then as things went crazy, I started to buy every week. I didn't know. And I started to really figure out about DCA. And I started to buy every two weeks. And I just kept it like that. So it didn't hit rock, rock bottom. January, February, March. Well, this was 16 cents. I don't remember. I remember stopping because I kind of got so ticked off. And then I remember buying it around seven, six, seven cents and we're on there. Yeah. We're on here. So after the summer, no, I remember buying at nine cents. So yeah. So like the, so the thing was you can keep buying here and your cost basis will keep going down. The thing is, is that, you know, how do you have this in you to do this? I mean, I did because I thought it was a, now, and remember, I'm not, I didn't dollar cost average every single day or every single week. There was times I'd shut it off. I'm like, I just don't, don't believe in this. And then I would come back and there would be some kind of update and we would talk about it. And okay, I can see it. And I can go from here. And then you just kind of see what's happened in the ecosystem. And then you just kind of hold on and go, well, I'm not going to sell. I think it's going to do pretty well. And then I did, you know, you had this and you had this and off you go. So imagine all this time to dollar cost average. It's the same thing with Bitcoin. I mean, if you think about it, I mean, Bitcoin, these are the sweet thing of Bitcoin was buying around here. And remember, if you can see this at the $600, it's all, it looks flat, right? But remember, when it was like 10 bucks, 600 bucks looked ridiculous, ridiculous. And then of course, this is 2017. Doesn't look paltry and goofy, but that was the big time, baby. And then of course, now we're all over here. So it just depends on how long you want to be here. I don't think you can make it overnight. Maybe, I don't know, all right. Now let's see what else we got. Sorry. I'm here for the long term as long as the funds allow it. Yes, exactly. And that's the thing, right? Because like, here's another great, great thing. I was listening to, but it all comes down to you, right? Like if you, if it was me, and I didn't have a lot of different revenue coming in, this would be a tough gambit to say, well, I want to spend, you know, 30,000 a month on crypto or whatever. That'd be very difficult, let's be honest, or 20,000 or 10,000 or 5,000 or 1,000 or whatever else. So really it's like, well, how much do I have to invest? And am I okay with it going down to 90% or losing everything? Because you're only supposed to invest what you can afford to lose, right? So if that's the truth, then, and you say, well, I've got a, I got a five, I got a three, I got a two, three, five and 10 year horizon. Probably do get away with a lot more stuff. But if you're like, I need money in six months, that's called a payday loan. And that's, that's highway robbery. But you know, you have to think about where do you want to be? So everybody's different. Like that's the thing. Like it's, it's hard to talk to every single person because there's so many different people and they're all in different parts of their lives. So I can just tell you what I've done and what I continue to do. So like, I would not be investing a thousand bucks a day into crypto. That'd be crazy if you make 2,000 a month, just saying. Look at that. I'd like to go, I have not. And then the pool man, the pool man, I took profit for a while ago, and now I'm riding the free run. Love from nowhere. That's great. And that's another big, that's another big metric or action that we're going to be talking about a lot, which is in the past, when there was some pretty good runs, I would talk about, you know, I would say, hey, you know, I've been holding for quite some time, maybe hold up longer from now on out. I'm going to remind everybody that if you need to take profits or want to take profits, remember to take those profits. Because as time goes on, it's really nice to have that fresh powder on the sidelines and you don't feel that stress. So I'll be talking about that a lot. And I'll be taking, I'll be doing a little better job of taking profits. That's right. Yeah. So Minnesota loves you, Roberto. Thanks, Verdi. I appreciate it. That's a good question. Let me start that. I'll get to you in a second. Damn, everything keeps moving so fast. Countries are adopting Bitcoin and yowzer, doinkus source. That's funny. That's 100% true. Countries are adopting Bitcoin, looking at ways to actually use it. The real question is, I mean, it was a nice boost for El Salvador over different countries. But in all honesty, I think really what it's going to come down to is the people, are the people going to adopt it? I know we talked about Bitcoin Beach, how great it is, but there's some data that comes out of it. As rosy and fantastic as we'd like it to be. So I just want to see more people adopt it. I think lightning is a pretty good one as far as payments. And more rails would be nice, but I think the more important thing is more education. That's me. All right. Yeah, smart. Sims says I do 30 bucks a day. Great. Why not? Here's another thing. Think about it this way. If you're buying 25 bucks of Cardano at a dime every single day, or if you're buying Cardano at a dime at 25 bucks every week, and you put in, let me do some quick math, it's four, that's a hundred bucks. So just kidding. I got to tell, I got to say, for now I got to say I'm just kidding. So I don't want people to be like, that guy's a moron because people can't get sarcasm for some reason. Okay. So imagine buying $25 and it's a dime and you do that for three years. Not bad. You know, 100 bucks, 1200 bucks, 1200 bucks a year, three years straight. Still pretty good. Just saying. All right. Ah, that's a good question. Keith Jones. That's a good name. Good afternoon. 50k to invest in Bitcoin or property. If there's places where you can buy property for 50,000, just saying. Land is not a bad option, especially on the different parts of town. I would go to City Hall and take a look at, what are those tamp forms called? Perspective, something where they take a look at the different land that is out for bid for commercial use and the ones that are on the outskirts of wherever you're at and take a look at the bids that are being placed. If you can see those on something you can't, something you can't. And just go, wow, I think I should go in that area. That's a little bit more. More than you want to know. Land is always, in my opinion, a pretty good option if you sit on it for quite some time. And it usually appreciates pretty decently. We've had land on the outskirts of El Paso where we bought it for 50. And in two years it was 160. So I mean, not bad, right? And all you got to do is sit in it. But remember, these are strange times because the property value went up so high and of course there was super inflation, honestly. 8.5%. So answer your question. 50K in Bitcoin or property? If it's me, I'm doing the smart thing. And the smart thing is to diversify and not be like, I'm putting it all in on take your pick or whatever else it is. And we just saw this project, which I'm going to stop talking about, that went to zero. And people thought it was going to, 500 bucks in no time. So to do that is just a bad mistake. So diversify. So maybe put a little bit into the crypto. Maybe you want to put something into land or maybe if you have a business, you want to start investing into your business by taking that and putting into whatever upgrades that you can do or marketing. I always like marketing because that's what brings people in. And that's it. Or the best thing is just invest in yourself. But 50K in yourself is a lot of money. Nah, it's not. That's not true. So to answer your question, diversify. You can't just put in Bitcoin or property. I would do a little bit of both just to be safe. The bum tents in California greater than 50K. You guys still having a problem with homelessness over there? I hear. I just hear that in the news. I can't trust the news, though. Tell me if that's true or not. Yeah, 2112 crypto 50K diversify it. Everyone says diversify so much you have people still on. I got to tell you that thing, that diversification saved me. I was pretty angry when I had to... I was pretty ticked off that I had to sell a bunch of crypto for the house in Puerto Rico. Because I was like, ah, because we couldn't get a loan. Because the owners didn't want to do a loan. They wanted straight cash. So we had to do straight cash and just worked out. Everything happens for a reason when it's supposed to happen, I guess. So that's diversifying. It works out great. And that house is now being rented on Airbnb and Verbal. And it does pretty well. See, that's the thing. People don't like living... People don't like having other people live in their house. But for me, it's just a house. Whatever I'm at is home. It doesn't matter to me. I think it's just... I mean, when I was in the military, it was just wherever we were at. That's where it was. Didn't matter. And RJ... Thanks, RJ. There's nothing positive right now, but when there's blood in the streets. You know, I think there's positive. There's positiveness all around us. Just like... And people like, ah, Jim Cramer. But Jim Cramer had a pretty good quote. He said, there's a bull run happening somewhere. He's right. There's always something going on even in the downturn. Just a little bit harder to find. So positive right now. I just... I see so many of these institutions getting in. Oh, speaking of which, I'm going to talk to... I talked to somebody on... I can't tell you. Forget it. So, yeah, nothing. I'll tell everybody on Saturday. But I mean, I still... I see some positive. If you look, it's not like 2017. The roads are... The roads are really built in. In 2017, this stuff... Crypto wasn't on MSNBC all the time, or CNN, or Fox, or wherever else. He didn't have people getting interviewed on these major publications. He didn't have big, huge... I mean, multiple banks getting into it. He didn't have the Federal Reserve actually making statements about it. I mean, Jerome Powell came out what, six months ago, and they asked him, point blank, in Congress, is it your intention to ban Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? And he said, no, it's not our intention to do that. And of course, he's right because he's the Federal Reserve. He can't ban anything. So, I mean, I think there's good news all around. Now, there's also bad news, and that's why I try to give up both sides of the story. For every good... For every light, it's a little bit dark, and that's just how it is. And it's up to you to balance that out. Yeah, that's nice. Charles says miners are very interesting and very positive about the space and future. Well, that's true because people keep building Bitcoin miners all over the place, and especially here in Texas. So, if you're just looking for like... It'd be like this, like, I don't know, building an ice factory in Antarctica. No one would do that. We have plenty of ice. We don't need your ice. But so, that would be a waste of time, right? So, if you're putting in the infrastructure, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars for infrastructure to build a mining operation in West Texas, which is where a lot of places are coming, and actually Georgia, which is crazy. It's not like they haven't done their economic studies to see if this is actually a viable business. They're going full force. So, it gives me a little bit of positive think. That could be a positive. Ah, okay. So, Chikabau says, Chikabau, bow. Do you think cause of the lengthening cycles will be having less gains in the market? Because that is what has been happening since 2013. And that's true. We have seen less as far as like, you know, 100x, 10x, 3x types of gains. Top all coins never did a bull cycle compared to the Tuesdays. So, to... First of all, the lengthening cycles even then talks about it. And he says, you know, it's... If we're looking at that, he says it's invalidated at this point. Because it doesn't really make sense of where we're going. We're going back into a bear market, potentially into a crypto winter, and then we go out the other end for another, hopefully, parabolic bull run. So, lengthening cycles and diminishing... I think the real question is diminishing returns. And we can see this plain as day. And right now, so what I'm talking about is, I mean, from $14 to $1,000, that's a pretty big, huge number. From $300 to $20,000, it's pretty good, right? Not too bad. But from $5,000, although $5,000 to $67,000, of course, it is a little bit... A diminished return from what it is right there. But who knows? I mean, if people are right, and we see that Bitcoin goes to $150,000, $200,000 in 2025, I don't know, no clue. I don't want to get any predictions. I mean, would that be okay if you're buying Bitcoin at $30,000? That's the question. So, do I think it diminishing returns right now? That's why Bitcoin is a safer option for me. If they're in the safer option for me, I don't think they're going to hit that merge in August. Sorry, don't. I think it'll be delayed until probably next year, hopefully. But those are the two of the safest ones, in my opinion. And then, of course, there's other ones that... My other thesis is if you're going to make some gains, you got to do some... I do these DGEN plays. So, I have a second channel for that, and I've only done three so far. And the thing that... I just built it around one thesis, which is how big is their community that they're bringing into it? If you can find that the community is already built out, millions of people already before they get into crypto, then it's pretty much slam dunk. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see the channel. Which one is more potential? Algo or ADA? The problem with Algo is some of their tokenomics are just not the greatest, and then their supply is pretty damn high. But so is Cardano. But the thing with both of those, they've got some pretty big things in Algo lined up. I just read a story today about taking payments, some part in Africa. It's going to be built on Algo as far as the rails. And then also, there was a partnership with... I want to say not in Colombia, either Paramount or Columbia, some recording artists that have like Kanye West and Taylor Swift. And they're building out in this old, I don't know if you guys remember this, called Lime Wire. And that's another type of project that already has millions built into it as far as fans. All they have to do is just, the marketing's already there. So with Algo, I think it's pretty good. Now, Cardano, every time people start sleeping on Cardano, that's the one where it just kind of roars back and says, nope, here we are. And our community's strong and they love us and it's going to keep going up. And then of course, we'll see. I'm hopeful. That's why I don't hold just Cardano or Algo. I hold them both. Don't pass on Ada. Yeah. Soccer teams, invest in both. Divi. So Divi, it's a pretty good project. I met the founder and CEO in Puerto Rico. Got introduced to him from some crypto OGs down there. And it's a pretty, actually I have Divi on my phone. And it's a text message based, I mean, it's a blockchain, but you use most of it in text messages. You can send it. It's very simple. It's very easy. It just needs the right breakout and the right fit. And we'll see. But I think they signed a contract with one of the premier soccer leagues in Europe. So we'll see how that one goes. Let's go to Charles. Oh, that's pretty cool. I've fallen in love with Ergo. The community is amazing. The product is beyond impressive. I'd love your thoughts. I'll take a look. Don't let me know about it. We're still early. Demetri says it right. We're still early. How can I be a bearish? It's very easy because I think the expectations were high. And we didn't meet those expectations in 2021 for this blow off top. Just didn't. And I think people got like, damn it. So they were looking for the next thing and the next thing. And I think people got caught up in some pretty bad, yeah, bad projects. And then that was it. And I don't think people really... Actually, I can't speak for anybody. I have no idea what happened. As far as what people's thoughts were, I can just guess. But there's a lot of issues going on. And I know this is the most unpopular opinion of all time, but it's still my opinion. And it's the most unpopular one. But I still say we need a little regulation. Tell me what a security is, what a commodity is, what a currency is, what you define that as. And then we go from there. Also, if you want audits for stable coins, I got no problems with that. If you say it's backed up and do your audits, it's fine. Maybe this wouldn't happen, but it was an algorithmic. It doesn't matter. Tell it to meet you to talk to Ben. Healthy tips, how do you maintain? Intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting, creatine, stay active. Cold therapy. Jump in this pool every day. It's like 65 degrees all the time. And then in the winter, it's really cold. And then don't get too caught up like I did today. Man, I really got ticked off. But everybody's real estate-backed tokens? I don't know if that's a good idea, because I mean, how liquid is that? How liquid is real estate? I mean, it's backed by it. But we saw what I am with the algorithm. Like if you needed the liquidity, how are you going to get it? I don't like that at all. Yeah, there we go. Too much regulatory uncertainty is the cause. Could be. Could be. People in the space hate regulation, because they say there should be no regulation. But I'm tired of not growing up and just saying, if you're a Bitcoin maxi, you don't need regulation. You're just like, it's Bitcoin. That's it. That's all. And what are the people would want? Because they don't really care. They're like, this is what we use. This is what we know. And everybody's going to be built on this. So I don't care if it takes 20 to 50 to 100 years. That's cool. And it's great for generational wealth. But it would be nice for it to go up a little bit faster than what it is right now. And although it does go up just fine. I mean, if we want the problem is it's a double-edged sword. If we want these institutions to come in, we need regulation. The problem with institutions is manipulation. And when they come in, you see what happens with the commodities and precious metals. So just be aware that's what it is. That's why I just, I think just buying slowly is better than going all in. Just me. Ah, so here's a great question from Sasha. A sweat coin question. How are you planning to deal with USA Band from opting into a sweat crypto? So here's the thing. I've been talking about sweat coin for quite some time. Not financial advice, but it's a free app that's been around for four years that you get. It's an app, stick on your phone, and it just tracks your steps. Like your Fitbit, but it's on your phone. And for every thousand steps, you get a sweat coin. And what can you do with that? We can go to their little marketplace because they teamed up with Apple and some other big companies. And you can buy little things. Not like, I mean, you can't buy a house. You know what I mean? So what they're doing is they've already been around for years. They have 65 million users. And then they're going to switch over to move to earn crypto called sweat token. And that's going to come out, I think, Q3. And the great thing is, if you don't live in the United States, or China, whatever sweat tokens that you have in your phone, like I've got a bunch. Let me show you something. Hold on real quick. Quick, cancel, file, do, do, do, do, do, do. I won't do it. Sorry. So I was going to show you my phone, but I can't get the thing pulled up. Anyhow, if you're outside of the United States, you can, you will, every sweat token that you have, like I have like 2,000 sweat coins, right? It's going to give me, for the sweat, like it's like a rewards token, they're going to give me a sweat coin or a sweat token, whatever else it is in crypto. And it's going to be a one-to-one swap. It's going to be the biggest, and it is, it's going to be the biggest token generation of energy in crypto history. The problem is, Gary Gensler, protect me harder, is, you know, they don't want to deal with America and their security laws. So they say, okay, fine. See, no regular, there's no certainty. So they're like, it's ambiguous. We don't want to deal with it. And you know, he may think it is, but no one has said it is. And we don't want, that's what we need certainty, I think. So we're going to bypass China and America and some other countries who are on the sanctions list. Sucks. So how am I going to get around that? What I'm going to do is I'm just going to keep walking because I keep getting these tokens, which is fun. And I'm just going to keep it around until they do approve it in America, and then go from there. So that's what I got. If you want to do it another way, if you have family, actually no, you can't even do that. Because I'm going to say, if you have family outside of the country, you could do it, but it's based on your geolocation. So sorry, that's it. But I did have a little competition going. You can download that Sweatcoin app, the links in the description. And you can try to beat me, which you probably won't, but you can give a shot. And if you beat me, the top three people who do beat me, I'll do a portfolio review for them live on the show. And that'll start in June. I'll tell you all about it later. Oh, so hey, Rob, you see a point where we get rid of USD, pounds, euros, et cetera, and just use Bitcoin and the digital asset without involving the authorities and governments. I mean, that was the plan in the beginning. That was the whole thing. That was the whole reason why Bitcoin was created in 2000, but because of the 2008 financial crash. So would I think that it could happen? It could happen. Probably, I don't think it's going to happen in my lifetime. But I mean, look, who knows, technology moves pretty fast, but I just don't, it's hard to comprehend because it's never, you can't really see it. I mean, I could, I can envision it, but it takes so much, it's just, you know, like, like how that work as far as fluctuations and prices, as far as like, because there would be no manipulation. And of course you have, you know, 100 million Satoshis for everyone, Bitcoin. So there's enough on the planet, but then how would, we need a pretty great, I mean, Lightning network was great, but as far as like a layer two solution, we can't just use the Bitcoin core layer as transaction. It doesn't work like, it just, it can't work like that. It needs a layer two, but could it be? Sure, but who knows? Sure, you're welcome. Yeah, Jennifer does mine. Bitcoin Genesis Block, the very first one. 7,400 steps. Sound up, I was kidding. Let's see. Whoops. Have not beat you. I have 5,800. Gotta start stepping. Okay. Rob, wouldn't you want to swap your all coins with Bitcoin right now? Bitcoin dominance is pumping. You could, you could swap them all and just put them all into Bitcoin and then let it go up and up and up and get out of Bitcoin as soon as it is. And that's a strategy you can try. I'm just not going to do it. And of course, when you look at it, you're like, well, it could happen. Yeah, it could. Bitcoin could, the dominance could go up. What are we at? 44, 45% as far as Bitcoin dominance? I think we're, we're looking at going even higher as all the different junk goes out. So I'm just not going to do it because this time goes on. I mean, you can play it. That's the thing. Like you can do this and, and be on the and check out charts all day long and take a look at the, the, the news as far as the macro environment and just judge everything and set your stop loss and all that stuff. And it's going to trade around. But then you just say, you know what? I just want to just make it simple, simple for me, set a DCA every week and just go from there. Like I'll tell you this Bitcoin theorem gets bought every single day. I don't do anything. It's just it happens in the background with my Voyager app. How you feeling about Celsius? I'm going to tell you, we had quite a monstrous amount of outflows last month. I want to say it was 1.15 billion and that wasn't for me. If you look on the Twitter, if you look on their website and also look on their Twitter feed, you'll see it like the inflows was, I want to say 30 million and the outflows was 1.15 billion. So that's not a good start, but I can understand why because everybody was pretty ticked off at the credit investor issue. Don't do that. And I think that's it. Make sure I, good question. Christopher, last question. Do you invest in index funds? I don't. I buy just for equities, stocks. I just buy Amazon because I have an Amazon FBA, so I know the inner workings and I like how that is doing so far. It's pretty good. I like Mara, Mara stock. I've got, I actually bought, I have Tesla, but I had that for a while. I haven't really added too much to that. That's pretty much about it. But an index fund, which would probably be the safest option, I just don't. Nice. Okay. And lastly, lastly, Rob, you still believe in Voyager for the long term. You think a lot of benefits with the loyalty program. I still believe in a long term. I mean, it's my favorite app to use. I know some people will say, well, I like crypto.com. All right. I like Coinbase Pro. Sure. I just like Voyagers. Intuitively, it's very easy for me. So as far as like the VGX token, it all depends on, well, a couple of things. That loyalty program, if they can really kick it out and really make it work well. One, that debit card, they're rolling that out and that it has to, hopefully they get that and the master card and also the ability to trade stocks on their platform, which is weird because they've been working so hard for it. And FTX come out of gate and says, hey, we already, we already are doing it and we've rolled it out to US customers. I select few and they're trialing it right now. So I'm like, how did FTX beat you guys, the punch you guys been doing us for so long? But it is, maybe it'll come out. And then of course, the last thing is, they have to expand into Canada and Europe. But they can do all those, all those things, which I had seen on the show and he said it should happen before 2023 rolls around, which is looking at six more months. I think it should do pretty well. That's it. So look, that's an hour. So I want to say thanks for sticking with me. I appreciate it. If you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up. Also consider subscribing. So we probably just took a little dip. And that is it. So thanks so much for today. I appreciate it. And I'll see you guys on the next one. Adios.
