 Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Tuesday livestream. So this is the second day of the week of pretty much really good news I and I think I understand what you may be pondering You're probably thinking yourself Did I miss out and just like the thumbnail and title suggest no no you did not So we're gonna take a look at today is of course a little price action in the beginning I'm gonna go back to my roots and talk about the market because everybody seems to seems to love that and Myself included I like to see these green days because everybody's happy. It's fantastic. It's like It's like living in Texas when the Dallas Cowboys win not a big Cowboys fan when everybody wins I'm like, hey, this is good news and this is a win for us today. Look bitcoins over 57 K Frames at 3200 B&B's I mean almost $400, but it's a seven day at 13% and on and on we go and of course these prices are crazy Right. They're insane. How does this go up so fast? And how can we have a market cap of? 2.2 trillion dollars on the on our way to 2.3 and is this it? No, this isn't it and actually put this out this morning. I Said right now you are probably thinking to yourself Did I miss the boat? Is this it because you know with these kind of price action I mean how the heck could we ever you know go up from here is this maybe this is the top? It's the same thinking in the bear market in the bear market Nothing will ever turn around and it's the worst thing of all time And it's just awful and nothing will actually appreciate because the market sucks And then when everything goes sideways everybody's like this will be the same thing for the next 20 years They're just gonna be sideways and it's gonna be brutal and we're just gonna stick around and that's it You get to the bull market we're like this is fantastic everything's going up, but maybe this the top I'm really worried It's not it's not but I I did put this out and I had a lot of responses You know I said like I said look relax relax You did the best you possibly could right all the things that you bought along the way when everybody was laughing at you And your friends were like why are you doing this and maybe you're significant other was like hey I noticed the bank count this went to Coinbase and maybe this a little bit went to this exchange Why'd you do that? I thought we talked about this you have a problem Let me friggin know what you're like. Okay. Who's got the problem now? See these price appreciation of what's going on and everything's looking pretty good So everybody's happy, but then you think to yourself could I have done more? No, you couldn't have done more you did everything that you were supposed to do you front ran The largest institution in the entire planet black rock with their 10 trillion assets under management or whatever else it is So just kick back and like yeah, I did what I was supposed to do. I did my job It wasn't easy and I'm pretty happy like that. So just get used to this feeling It's going to be a little bit bumpy nothing goes in a straight line and just get ready to Be accommodating to all the friends who are laughing at you who will now be calling you asking for financial advice Unbelievable, but here's the proof. I was talking about we're nowhere near where we should be We're just in the beginning stages quite honestly and I I know people have been saying like I'm stopping dollar cross averaging I'm not going to buy anything else because what's the point? This is it Not so much So there's a couple things I want to show you First of all, this is uh, this is Ben's we all know this is Ben's site into the cryptiverse, right? And what I want to show you is this is a social metric risk Which is youtube views and I want to show you I don't really like doing this but It has to be done The views at digital asset news and actually mice my youtube channel started all the way back Actually was it was november 2019, but I had so few views no one really it doesn't even register On this site, but just look at this and we can see that the views Around february 2020 Which if we look at the four-year cycles, right that was the halving year just like 2024 is a halving year That's about right now And I had 28,000 views and of course time has changed, you know But then and then of course it really went down here in march and the uh, surveys of sickness and everything cratered off But then after the halving my views went up like crazy Just like crazy because the narrative was there. I know people don't believe in some people don't believe in the four-year cycles the narrative of You know the bitcoin halving, but it's real and it's true and it happens The halving was may 11th 2020 My views from there went from roughly 29 It tripled to 90 And then of course we had some sideways action things went up and I took little breaks here and there But then as we got it to here views started to really skyrocket and they they really topped out Per day. I was getting over 100,000 views in 2021. That's february Then march and a little bit april Then may and so on and so forth and then right now. Where are we? Pretty much the same thing as we've been before actually. I'm losing views a little bit Now, let's take that and take a look at coin bureau and overlay that. Oh, this isn't good Coin bureau crushes everybody pretty much And uh, you can see that the metrics themselves. I mean like did you know at one point me and Guy started out the same time frame. Look at that. We had the same amount of views What the heck happened? Well like ability probably and uh, just doing a much better job Of research than what I did and we can see again that of course like As far as like price action and the views we can see that it was uh, quite a different story I mean his went way higher, but then what happened now look where he's at right over here So like if we're taking a look at the social metric risk I don't think we've really gone anywhere And then there's another one that I really wanted to to take a peek at which I think is we'll hit home with mortal people And that's just the general terms, which is google There's a website trends.google.com links in the description And you can take a look at the interest for Bitcoin Over time and what I wanted to show you is that now this isn't going to show you Uh, the search the search volume of the term bitcoin What it's showing you is the amount of interest over a continuum of time Where a hundred as big as the top and zero was absolutely no interest Bitcoin In this nice continuum over a year actually topped in the beginning of january because of obviously The etfs right, but guess what we're at right now. We are here We're half of the interest than what we had before people don't realize what's going on I mean they heard about an etf and they were happy like oh, that's cute But they pretty much were like nah, whatever and they did something else right Because the interest over time is according to google is quite low Now let's take a look over the last five years which would include the last cycle and if we take a look at that the interests again Well, because we've actually elongated that the interest right now is very low 23 And the interest that we had an all-time high for those etfs, which you think would be much higher Was only like a 40 36 somewhere around there and if we come over here, we can see that in all honesty We topped out Four years well three years ago in 2021 And we had a lot more interest and a lot more people here than over that So what does that mean for you really what it means for you is this Is that I know when people will look at this and they'll look at the price action I'll say themselves well, this is it because you know, why would I Invest anything more into it and I can't give you financial advice to tell you what to do I can just tell you what I'm doing Just like it was the last time In the last cycle, I remember the same thing being said. I remember the same thing being said, which was This is pretty much it You know, we're gonna go sideways for a bit and then we'll we'll catch a little bit of peace and we'll go up But if you didn't get in, you know a year ago Then you're screwed and then that's it and I remember thinking myself Well, I mean, maybe it is I'll just keep dollar cost avenues. I was dollar cost averaging there I'm gonna dollar cost average here. I still think we have a little bit of room to grow And it actually worked out So again, if you think you missed out, I don't think you did let me understand about that in the comment section and then There's also something interesting which is uh grayscale is slowing down This is my favorite chart that I try not to screw up every time bit next research And this is in dollars. I learned that a couple days ago But uh, it's just interesting to note that uh, we were just at five billion Something five and a half billion now we're at six billion the total spot etf And what I want you to notice is that This column on the far right the grayscale column today Is the lowest Outflows grayscale has had in the entire time Of when the spot etf started and we thought You know like well in the very beginning 95 95 million would be a lot, but That wasn't the case. I think their highest point was around 500 Yeah, almost 600 million in one day outflows, which is the third day Or the third trading day of the etf And as of yesterday 26th of february it was the lowest day So it seems like they're running out of steam if you take a look here It went I mean there was a big jump here 200, but then It went on thursday to 55 On friday to 44 And just yesterday only 22 million and we can scroll over here to see who are the big players. Well Black rock in the first section here is 111 million, but look at fidelity 243 million Which again gives us a nice A half a billion dollars in one day Is that the most? Wow That's actually the second largest day of inflows since the very beginning of the trade Which is 11th of january 2024 And remember I think people were calling for that, uh, you know, it wasn't going to really pick up like that But here we are. I still personally think that people are behind the times of waiting to get in could be wrong We'll see but that also leads me to micro strategy Uh, just on uh on the 25th. What was that? Just as a sunday. It's kind of weird Well, not really micro strategy has acquired an additional 3000 bitcoin for 155 million an average price of 51 000 as of february 25th today is the 27th, right 27 26 wait. That's what's great about Sailor picking up bitcoin. He doesn't have to wait for the ETFs to open up. It's not traditional finance He just goes the exchanges goes right to coinbase picks up whatever he wants to Sells whenever he wants to which hasn't sold you know anything now But can do whatever he wants to in whatever time and that's the power and beauty Of a exchange and not waiting for traditional finance So that's happening right now and I got me to think about this. Did you know that every day there's 900 bitcoin that's being mined? That's it 900 bitcoin So right now you got michael sailor Swallowing up 3000 bitcoin. You got the ETF swallowing up bitcoin. You got us doing our little Mino games of dollar cross averaging buying things up. I think this is uh A really great time actually to be in in crypto and digital assets and bitcoin more specifically but I also thought about this If bitcoin's doing this and bitcoin is a proxy for micro strategy stock, how are they doing? As far as with uh, their stock and then I thought to myself because they're growing so fast How far away are they from being included in the s and p 500? Think about that micro strategy s and p 500 Check this out The s and p 500 to become part of the index a stock must meet the criteria including having a market cap of 14 and a half billion or more Other key requirements must have a primary listing and be subject to u.s security laws That's that will be micro strategy because they are a publicly traded company And uh, guess what? They're worth 14.7 billion so I don't know if they're already listed on the s and p 500 correct me in the comment section But uh, how great would that be? if micro strategy Muscles its way into the s and p 500 And is there and becomes a contributing factor For the increase Of the valuation of the s and p and they can point to one and one thing only because let's be honest It's not like micro strategy stock skyrocketed because It did some fantastic new thing in its company The fantastic new thing was investing into bitcoin not to take anything from michael sailor and what his business does I don't know if they would have hit 14.7 billion dollars without being a proxy for bitcoin. So that is good news and again one more thing to look positive if on it and uh To finish this up with this moon boy session that I keep to seems like i'm going into i'm sorry There's just once you get on a good day. Sometimes you just got to kind of kind of roll with it But i'm sure there's some some bad news on the horizon. Trust me. Nothing goes up forever But uh, this was from crypto t And I found it interesting because i'm always saying how you know these these cycles They are essentially the same thing over and over again, but she made a good point And she states and you can follow her at crypto t on x She states this cycle is different because the bitcoin etf people can't swap to altcoins and I thought about that And I said and she is absolutely right I mean they people can swap to altcoins From an etf. It's a heck of a lot more difficult Especially if they're trad fi people and they probably hear the same stuff from everybody else which And the same thing for me too, which is you know, 99 of crypto is uh is a scam and worthless Even I say that so they probably will look at this and go Maybe I'll just hold on to bitcoin because it's going to be great But it is a good point and then it really comes to think about well, what about altcoin season? I don't think we even touched on that yet But we'll see but it's something to ponder something to think about I still think the altcoins can run But uh, who knows how much it could be as things are being trapped into the bitcoin etf. Anyhow, let me just think about that And then to finish this up, uh, there was an article or a piece from coin gecko I know people like to talk about airdrops. I do myself who doesn't like free money But this little piece if you're into airdrops or if these come it was a it was a good retrospective analysis But take a look at when to sell your airdrops and what they found out was that 50% of the time if you sell within two weeks, that's the best time other than that you kind of get screwed So it says here one's the best time to sell airdrops airdrops to be the best to be within 14 days and here's some data airdrops taken their tokens that reach their highest price returns in the short term include Uh ethereum name service well 73 by day two and you'll notice something about this The number's date the second day 73 by day two And that's I think like a lot of listings, especially on dexes When you get into dexes and start to look at listings, it seems like they'll they'll go they'll go straight scary crazy in the first couple of hours 24 maybe 48, but then you'll always not always but most of the time see him drop off But something happened with the en s x2 y2 did 121 by day two blur 90 and six days looks rare almost 200 percent in day 10 And then arb doge whatever the heck that is did 4x by two weeks And then other ones include jito, which would be the salana dex did 43 percent and by day two when Another mean coin essentially airdropping salana did 37 percent by day three 75 percent by day 10 for dimensions and all this stuff, but then it breaks it down that Day of the airdrop within seven days you have stuff like this No, excuse me the day of the airdrop. We have stuff like icp Whatever the heck that is day two to seven I don't except for jito. I don't know what that is. I don't know what these are eight of 14 Okay, this is where it gets interesting 15 to day 100. You got ape coin I can see that pith which is The oracle and salana. I think this is the graph not mistaken correct me in the comments and then x But then look at these ones right here osmosis optimism one inch celestia bonk Arbitrum uniswap Those are Long-term plays day 101 onwards. So again, you can make some pretty good gains in the short term But I don't know how much that is trash But some of these are actually good and actually will do things But you have to hold on to them for a while But if you're just here for a for a short quick dip This would be the way to go and then also as far as alts Of course on our second channel dan d gen. We just talked about a project called alvara Which essentially is a defi hedge fund And I thought we'd do pretty well. I didn't know it was going to do this well, but it sold out in under four minutes Yeah So that was the idea looks like it'll be on uniswap on the fourth of march And I just wanted to tell everybody that be careful what this one because like I just said because the initial listing Which would be fourth of march It's a fair launch. Remember that these decks is when they start They start off hot and heavy, but then people get dumped on like crazy. So just being honest That's usually what happens. So be careful And that will conclude it for those pieces now. We'll jump into a little q&a. Oh also one more thing I'd like to welcome a new sponsor to the show Uh, which would be Harry's razors Harry's razors I know people will think that's an odd That's an odd thing. Why would why would rob? Have a harry's razors as a sponsor the show. It's very easy Because it's safe. Everybody needs razors. It's only eight bucks to get a razor and a gel and you can start that right now There's a link in the description. You can check it out and I think it's a little bit safer than You know having like affiliates for like, oh, I don't know Like some crazy exchange out there or some crazy other crypto market type of thing That could be a rug pull. So I'll stick with the razors anyhow If you want to check that out, it's only eight bucks. They work pretty well And uh, that's it and yeah, yeah, even though I got a beard still got to trim up here That's it for today.
