 Now let's do a little Q and A. We'll go in deep. Oh, bicky. Always on top of stuff. Jerry Hall Twitter. If you don't know Jerry Hall, that guy's awesome. I do like that guy a lot. Not Mick Jagger's girlfriend or wife or whatever it was. Let's see, Max says, I've got your money. I told Max to keep it and buy some assets. Probably a better idea. Ugh, Minnesota. Oh, man. I remember snow. I remember snow. And it's nice every so often. But hey, man, hey, Ricky. Keata Coder, CIA ship partner with JP Morgan for Crime Flight. That'd be the easiest of all time. Like, hey, look, we found everybody who's spoofing medals. They're right here. This is the easiest bust of the century. Ah, that's just the cost of doing business. Yeah, chewy. And I miss that guy. Let's see. I mean, they did the same thing with stocks. Everything's skyrocketed. They're different with crypto. Yeah. Who knows, man? Who knows? Solana, what's going on? I don't know, but I think there's a big pump for Solana today. So congratulations, Solana holders. I have some Solana. I just didn't buy any. Just let it sit. But I had sold it before, but not enough. But here we are. So who knows, like people hate on Solana, right? I neither hate nor love it. It's just an asset, you know? So who knows, who knows what'll happen? But I think it went below 10, then it went up to $12. So congratulations if you bought the very bottom. I can never time it that well. I just dollar cost average and wait for some blow off tops and sell at that point. It takes some profits a little bit here and there. Illuminati's gonna be broke. That's potentially true. Uncle Ricky says, can you imagine the U.S. federal government having a Bitcoin account? Be fun to track all the fraud going on. That would be interesting. That'd be really interesting. And I would bet you that all of a sudden, that mixers would all of a sudden be legal. So yeah, that'd be interesting to see like, because there was a black hole in the budget or the spending for the government. I remember one year I think we lost, I wanna say three trillion somewhere just disappeared. I don't know. Black ops operations just gone. I wonder if they'd ever do that. Doubtful. I got a bad feeling about this. They tried to kill crypto and now they wanna control it. I bet the governments, look, here's what it's gonna be. We all think that crypto is gonna be some great magical thing. And it actually could be, it'd be fantastic. But I was around before the internet was actually a thing. And I remember when the internet first came out, we didn't know what the heck it was gonna be. But we did all pretty much figure that it would never be allowed because if we're like, how is the government gonna allow this free flow of information? Then governments will be toppled. They'll never allow this to happen. Well, they did. And you know what they did a great job of? They go, look, we can't stop it. It's like holding back a dam from crumbling and breaking apart. What we'll do is we'll just control it and we'll just put out misinformation and we'll make it work for us. And that's pretty much what it does. Look at any of election that's out there, especially in the United States, misinformation and misdirection or redirection is a really great tactic. And they control a lot of the narrative out there. Not to say that they control everything, but they control just enough to move things along. And I think that could happen with crypto and the gel assets. I could be wrong, hope I'm wrong, but I've lived through the last ones seem to work out pretty well for the government. Okay, yes. Thank you, Bikki. I keep for you to say that. And also that, and also, yes, all that. Let's see, I'm holding. That's good, man. I'm loading up. Yeah, I mean, look, yesterday's video, we took a look at just the dollar cost averaging. We took a look from, if you dollar cost average Bitcoin from either 2018, 19, 20, 21, or Ethereum or Cardano or Dash or Salt. I like that, but it was a pretty good video. And it just shows you that when everything's the darkest is when you should really be putting, if you wanna make outsize returns into certain projects. And we took a look at the ones that did well and the ones that did awful, Dash and Salt did awful. So like, if you think that you can just dollar cost average into anything, you're wrong. There's some things that will never come back. So choose your asset wisely, protect your asset. Yeah, yeah, no, not guilty. Well, look, O.J. Simpson said the same thing. Worked out pretty well for him. Ah, sweet Mary and Joseph. Naz, you're late to the party. I'm gonna stop talking about this. Ah, I'll say it one more time. So when our tribe gets together, people who watch this channel, Digital Asset News, and the tribe from, say, into the cryptoverse, and the tribe from the best dancers all get together, it was a big S show. People were hating on each and everyone. And it was just, it got to be pretty bad. The whole point of getting together was to share information and get things out and to alleviate some of the stress that people were feeling, especially with the bear market as we tumbled down. Now, unfortunately, people just didn't see it that way. And they made it pretty tough. And it was just, sometimes we just don't mix like oil and water. So we just said, hey, I'm just gonna step away for a bit. And then James did the smart thing. And he's like, if you guys wanna step away, that's cool. I'm just gonna get some more co-hosts. And he got CTO and some other guy. What is his name? Banter, the guy from Banter. And it looks like a great show. So, and then we're gonna go this other way because Ben was on James, Ben was on Guy's channel doing something for Coin Bureau. And Guy's like, hey, I like this. We should do more of this because I'm doing live streams. And so we said, yeah, I got this guy that I know. And that was it. And that was it. Pretty much, here we are. But you know, a new year, a new show, I mean, do something different, right? That's it. I don't think that's true. Thanks, Aristotle. Do you not think NFA, and that's the new show, what's it called? Not Financial Advice. Do you not think not Financial Advice weekly is too frequent? I got too emotionally attached to DCA. And not gonna happen again. Exactly, it got a little bit too much. So NFA, I don't think is gonna be as extensive as what we did before. We're trying to keep it light, just kind of go over a couple of things and just go from there. And don't get too enthralled into it. I must remember, or remind everybody, that as smart as Ben is and as charismatic as Guy is and as whatever I am, we get things wrong all the time. And we're just trying to give you the best information we possibly can, but nobody knows what's gonna happen. So even if like, you know, like even a couple of days ago, I messed up, I thought that Meld was gonna drop Cardano and go on Avalanche totally. That's, I must have misheard Ken. And that wasn't true. Don't take it for like as gospel. You know, just go, well, that's interesting. Maybe I'll just dwell on that and maybe do some more research on my own. Remember, nobody knows. That's it. So don't get too attached. Let's see. NFA is co-mingled YouTubers. Since any crypto, some of my favorites. Sub-Gentlemen, are we gonna do a show some point or what, did you guys reach out? Supposed to do a show. Whatever you guys want. You know how to get a hold of me. Talk about bank, bonk. I don't know what bonk is, Plasma. Oh, bonk, I don't know what that is. Let's see. Solana is greater than Litecoin. I don't know, man, Litecoin's done pretty well. You know who likes Litecoin a lot? It's Tom Crown. Tom Crown's got this really good channel and does a lot of really good TA, little laid back guy, check him out. And he loves Litecoin. I think he was on the Litecoin conference and I'm like, what, really? But he's got a good reasons for it, I'm sure. Ooh, it's scary. Good question. What changes would you make when they pass the unrealized gains tax? First of all, Janet Yellen talked about this as she wanted to tax unrealized gains. What are unrealized gains? Unrealized gains are, let's just say, let's just rewind and go back to 2021 for a second. You buy Bitcoin at the beginning of 2021 or you buy Bitcoin at 10,000. It goes up to 20,000. You don't sell it at the end of the year, but the unrealized tax gain would be, hey, you just made $10,000, pay me IRS. That's essentially what it is. And she had talked about it. She talked about this is actually done in other countries. We should take a look at it. And then it was shot down and then all of a sudden she was attacked and didn't go through. Now, if that does go through, first of all, there would be a nightmare. I don't see how they could possibly do that. And I would probably have a boating accident and lose all my crypto if that happened. But also as 1.7 trillion out of the debt, yes, that's gonna happen. Vehicles like IRA and Roth are being eyed as government funding sources. Do you think it could happen? Yeah, anything could happen. The government's a funny place. Also, remember this thing called social security and Medicare? Yeah, that's not gonna be around when we all turn 65. I'm older than, well, some of you, some of you are older than me, but it won't be there when I hit that age, right? Maybe Medicare, maybe, hopefully. But for social security and Medicare, they're always raiding into that fund. So I don't think that's sustainable. If they wanna go into the Roth IRAs or 401Ks or as they like to call them, entitlements, we'll see how long they can keep their seats as far as senators and congressmen and women. We'll see. Well, I wanna see them get away with that. Oh, hey, walking my A off in the snow and ice, Rob. Thanks again for the contest. Gotta love Iowa Hawkers. So we're doing that sweat coin challenge. You can just walk around, top 30, get pretty cool stuff. So I'll be updating the leaderboard as soon as I get the information from the sweat coin people. I should already have it. Gandalf the Grace, as I have to ask Riot Blockchain, what next generation miners they have for the next bull run? That's a good question. They have mostly Bitcoin, Bit, main A6. My question is this, the CEO was being interviewed on, I wanna say CNBC, and he said his break-even point for Riot was around $8,700 to $8,900. Their break-even point for Bitcoin. So if it falls below that, they're not gonna be profitable. I thought it was interesting because I've heard much, much higher numbers. I think it's because they made a deal with the state of Texas that they would sell back their electricity. I think they've accumulated some pretty high-end mining equipment. And I just wanna talk to Chad about that and see how that worked out because it sounds like they're getting for a steal. Three trillion, no biggie, exactly. Who cares? It's just printing money. Somebody said this yesterday and they were right. I was talking about, oh, Vicky asked me this question, what was my story about losing 500 Bitcoin? And the story was, son came home from school, said, hey, I got 500 Bitcoin or 500 bucks. This is in 2012, he won it. I said, what's Bitcoin? He told me what it was, I go, that's stupid. And that doesn't make any sense. And of course, here I am years later doing a channel of crypto, I know. But I said, I was talking about it. And I said, I told him, I go, why would anybody use Bitcoin? It's just stupid nerd money, nerdy magic internet money. And then somebody in the comments said, hey, Rob, just remember the government is doing the same thing. It's just not nerd money. They just created it from thin air too. And I was like, it's a good point. So yeah, that's one of those things. But again, even if I had 500 Bitcoin or 500 bucks, you know I would have sold it. If it was 500, I would have sold it 1,000 and call myself a genius. So what are you gonna do? Edward Fox, standing. Edward Fox is not an IRS agent. Although that picture does look, really looking for the interface show. Yes, I have to, I am too. It's gonna be fun times. Good times. Why are all the youth killers getting killed? Keep getting killed. It's a good question. It's the same thing that I've heard about as far as the Bitcoin flippening. When's it gonna flip? This one's gonna flip. It's gonna flip the coin. Hasn't happened yet. Maybe this will be the norm. Maybe, who knows? Let's see. Time to watch Margin Call. That's a great movie. If you haven't watched that, that's a great movie. Yeah. Mossman says, imagine our taxes on a blockchain and the government can't hide where money goes to. Maybe that's why they're more concerned about it. But I will tell you this. For me, it's interesting that in this day and age, because in 2017 when I got in, it was always a breath away from getting banned by the government. It was always that. And no one really took it seriously and just nerds and dorks were getting into this type of asset class. And that was it. Then 2018 came along and we were looked down as just dunderheads, just dumb. Because look at how much it fell. So in 2018 it was pretty tough. And I just never thought that we'd get back. I mean, I never thought that it would go that low and did. And of course I thought we'd get back to it, but for your cycles, here we are. But the whole thing is we never had big institutions really coming in like we've already had. Like the micro strategies, like big black rocks and fidelities talking about it, getting into it. We never had a sitting president talk about it. First it was Trump actually, and then now it was Biden. And we never had the US government did studies on crypto and digital assets. Never, and that just happened what a year or so ago. And we never had like a sovereign nation using it as currency. So like when I see all the things that are going on, just for Bitcoin essentially, I see some things moving forward as far as what could potentially happen with other altcoins, but who's knows? Who's knows? Yeah, I don't know. Jupiter says, so when the Fed introduces a CBDC, central bank digital currency layer this year will be via a stimulus play to accelerate adoption by the sheeple? I don't know how they're gonna do that quite honestly. Like, I mean, they have a hard enough time sending out checks for STEMI checks, right? I think there's enough people that are electronically savvy. Most of us have smartphones, so I can see it, but yeah, I just, what'll probably happen is the majority will just accept it, especially here's the thing. If it's a CBDC and they go, look, we're rolling this out and everybody gets 50 bucks free. Does it cost the government anything? Cause they just make it out of thin air just like what we just talked about. So they probably just do it that way. It'll adopt, they won't really care. And then before you know it, they're like, we're not tracking you, we're not tracking you. And of course they are the same thing. I mean, hell, even Facebook does that when they first rolled out, hey, we're not tracking you. We don't sell your data. They sold your data so much, plus me. Like, I still do ads on Facebook for one of my, or for our charity organization. And like on Facebook, I can find, you can narrow it down to a person between the ages of 30 and 33, who is a single mom that lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma that likes CrossFit and works out and also makes between $30,000 and $40,000 a year. I can granular break it down and show ads to just that person. So they take your data, government will take it, everybody takes your data. That's how it is. That's why these wallets are pretty important. Mm, oh, let's see. Hey, Rob, in your video several days ago, it seems that you stopped DCA into near and Aave, any particular reasons. Near, I just, like, I really liked the project and they already have sharding, which is what Ethereum's trying to do right now. They're approved for stake. I have, I'm staking all my near. And, but I just thought that was just a little bit too soon. I thought there was some more outside for some other projects, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cosmos, some Algorand, some Matic. Matic was a bigger one and some Cardano. So I just, I felt like that was it. And then Aave, I thought was a great DeFi play, but again, I think it's a little bit too fast. So I just fell off for a bit. We'll see how it goes. No particular reason. Yes, I have you two shorts trying to get that out. Apparently this is the time to build. And that's it. That's not bad. It's on a bad plan. Joby, Anderson, I've been buying across the board for some time now, very happy with my current portfolio. Love the slow burn approach. And that's just it, like, like CTO Larson says DCA sucks. And he's probably right. I mean, it does suck. It's hurts. It's hard. It's like, in 2018, it was like throwing sand in the ocean. He was like, well, that money's gone. But, you know, it's amazing how that, those seeds that I planted in 2018 grew into a pretty strong oak tree in 2021 that I could depend on and harvest and all that good stuff. So it just takes time. Farmer analogy. Yeah, doing it all today. If you don't fit, you must have quit. So Rob is there and sending for Bitcoin miners to stick around as the supply gets cut down over and over again. Remember, it's only every four years. I still think they're doing pretty good. And I kind of see it as time goes on. The leanest, most savvy businesses that do Bitcoin mining are the ones that are going to make it. And the ones that can't be profitable because they can't buy the new high-end Bitcoin miner, they can't cut a deal with the state that they live in or the country that they're at and can't get super low electricity costs with super high, those are the ones that are the ones that are going to make it. And the other smaller miners will probably be put out for, you know, and set of like small little areas. But that's how I see things for Bitcoin. I mean, there's other proof of works, just not many anymore. Used to be Ethereum, that's top. Ah, see you, Neil, have a good day of work. Let's see, that's it, ran, banter, right? How much, why so much hate? How does hate works? It produces some kinds of capital. I don't know what that is. Yeah, guys got a lot of subs, works hard, smart guy. And like, I know when people will say, ah, guy's just an actor, he reads from a teleprompter. If I met guy, like I said, I told us yesterday, like last year, shoot, yeah, I was last year. Yeah, April, jeez, yeah, April. And I was there for this conference and got to talk on stage and all that good stuff. But yeah, like we talked for like an hour, I mean, behind the scenes. I was like, man this guy knows a lot about crypto because he's been investing since like 2014, 2013, 2014, it's because he's been investing the longer than I have. That's just it, I don't know what that means. James will be the correct 125, like yeah, man. I mean, look, it's not about being correct or incorrect. It's just, you know, just for you, for me, okay, how about this, for me personally, I will never be 100% correct, right? So I just kind of hedge my bet a little bit. Like the things that I heard in 2022, I knew it wasn't a great opportunity to fully dollar-cost average. I knew it wasn't a good idea to, you know, put a bunch of money in because I was fairly certain, 90% plus certain that we're going to go down lower. I still ain't going to go down lower, I still do. But there's that 5% of my brain that says, you know what, everybody's been wrong before. So just hedge your bet, set a dollar-cost averaging full, just do what's called micro-DCing. Just put a little bit in, take a little bit of profits out, grease the wheels, make sure that you're ready for it and then go from there. And then for me, it worked out okay in 2022. It wasn't the greatest. I mean, if I were to wait until this year, I think this year is going to be a better year to invest. I think we're going to see some lower lows. And that's it. And over time it'll be okay, but it's just, I know some people think that, you know, this is the year when we pivot and it'll be great. Historically, that's true, but it's weird times, man. And that's why you just take profits along the way. That's why I got these rules up here. Those rules. And the last one is take profits. Take profits along the way. Nobody, everyone broke doing that. That's it. And let's see. Now let's see, DCA is hosted by three traders, right? Me and Ben are not traders. If we are, we're the worst traders of all time. All right, let's do it. Sweet. Get that done. Man, well, that's pretty funny. First of all, why'd I have Peter Schiff on? Even though he lives in the same island I do, he's in Puerto Rico. What do you think he's going to say when he's on here? You think he's going to say, you know what, Rob, I think you're right. I've been wrong this whole time. I think Bitcoin could save the world. And I think it's a fine investment vehicle. And I've been wrong this whole time. I'm sorry for the people that I've hurt. I think I'll be okay and I'm going to leave now. Thank you, sir. Firm handshake out the door, he goes. Probably not. Peter Schiff will probably be here and be like, you and everybody else you know are morons. Bitcoin's awful. Gold is the only thing that's going to make sense, even though he owns more stock than gold or whatever. And you guys are going to all suckers and it's a big Ponzi scheme. So I just, that's essentially the whole thing. And Harry Dent, sweet Mary and Joseph, I mean, every year is the worst year of all time. Everything's going to collapse. I find them highly entertaining, but I mean, come on. I don't know. Yes, good point, AK, just Dexes this time. You know, if you take a look at that, did Uniswap go down? Did they steal anybody's money? Worked out okay so far? Dexes were great. Yeah, I think Dexes will do well in the future. It's just, you know, making sure they hit their utility stride of what they're supposed to do. There's a group called the Crypto Sims. That's not a great name, but okay, exactly. Digital cables is going to get a refund on my unrealized losses. And that's the whole thing with Janet Yellen. She was talking about these unrealized, we're going to tax your unrealized gains. And someone said, well, what about my unrealized losses? Because guess what? I'm pretty sure most of us that are watching the show are down for the year. So I'd like to take all those losses right now. Thank you. That would be fair, but it still will be dumb. It just wouldn't make any sense. A rusty trombone classic. All right, yep, going to set it better. We're all on pain, it's not going to last forever. So do your research and buy up what you can once day is for long. No, you're right, but like some people, they always only tell you like the bright story. The bright story is coming, but it's going to be 2024, five or six, maybe even seven. I don't know. So the short term, just be ready for some more pain. It's great. Like if you're a sadist or a masochist, this is like the best time of all time. Just get punished constantly. But there is light that just takes a little bit of time. That's what's great, I got time, right? No big deal. Damn it, keep getting beat on sweat coin. When can I buy a weed with Bitcoin stats? You know, I thought about that. And there's this thing my friend Stephen uses called the Fold app. And you can download it right now, I think in certain areas. And since Stephen's here in Puerto Rico, it means that you can use Puerto Rico if you're in Puerto Rico. And what's great about Puerto Rico is that you can buy a weed here. It's medicinal, but I mean, who doesn't have a migraine every now and then, right? So you can use your Fold app to buy certain, I mean items and then it pays you back and sets. That's pretty cool. So there you go. It was a good stream title. Isn't Social Security welfare by another name? It's supposed to be your retirement. Remember welfare, like when I was growing up, I know people who never worked and they were just on work for their entire life. So they didn't really add into the system. Like for you who have held a job and have done things and have paid taxes, that's where it comes from. Unfortunately, you know, who knows how sustainable it is. I just never understood it. Yes, I believe taxing and rising gains is on the count. At least it should be. Yeah, it's a good time. I just try to keep myself busy. Like today, today I got to get up, walk the dogs, went to play beach volleyball over in East La Verde and then, no, no, Condado, sorry. And then had to clean one of our condos because of course the cleaning crew didn't show up. So when you're the owner and you're doing short-term rentals, who gets to clean, you do. And then of course today, I'm trying to do more just to keep myself busy. One recorded video, just about the general things. Like yesterday we talked about dollar cost averaging and different time periods for different cryptos. And then today we talked about what is undervalued, what is overvalued as far as stocks versus crypto. That's pretty good. So yeah, and then that pushes this out to like right now it's 5.30 here in Puerto Rico. So yeah, any thoughts on Filecoin? I had some, I don't know if I still have it though. I think I bought it on Coinbase, but I thought it'd be pretty good, but there's a lot of competition for storage crypto. I like what they're doing. I can see where it could actually have utility. Just depends on, again, how big is the community? The utilities there, if you wanna storage, use the excess amount of storage you have in your computer and put that on the blockchain, right? Team look pretty good and the tokenomics look reasonably okay. So it just depends on how big it actually gets into the public consciousness and people start using it. Yes, Joby, Riot is killing it. Ha ha ha, that's a good one. Ooh, David, 65 in eight months, congratulations. I don't know if you wanna make that far. Uh, Aristotle. Lynn Alden has given her latest outlook on what Bitcoin did. You should get her on the show, Rob. Ah, yeah, I should. So many, such a smart lady. It's, I'll just be asking questions and trying to keep up with her. I'm not as bright as her. It's very difficult to keep up. Have you, do you guys know that Beardy has his own YouTube channel? It is fantastic. He does very few videos, but they're really good. They're very short. Beardy, if you, I'm a subscriber. Good day. Yeah, Tesla, Tesla took a big hit. It's funny though, didn't the numbers come out and they just delivered like an enormous amount of EVs and people are like, it's weird because they did what they said they were gonna do. And of course they dropped precipitously, I mean, crazy amount. So sometimes it's just the narrative of the company. It's not the output or the production and just the narrative of what it is. Just like crypto, right? Like it's just a narrative. The narrative isn't like, did Bitcoin get hacked? Did Joe Biden come on and said, hey, I created all crypto, I created Bitcoin, which would be funny if you think about it. Or was there some massive double spend in crypto? No, it has nothing to do with it. First of all, FTX started the screw up. They brought down Luna. They brought down three O's capital. That brought down Celsius and Voyager and BlockFi. And eventually it caught up with them and bit them in the A and FTX fell. The things that screwed us up were people. People are, you can't trust people. And those centralized entities, those are the ones that get wiped away and those are the ones that screw us. It's the decentralized exchanges that actually did pretty good and decentralized applications that actually do quite well. Just getting past the people and that's what we're trying to do. Ugh, that's right. That's right, Tyler. Did the roof and walls blow off your pool, Rob? And the below, is that all that's left? Yeah, that's okay. This is a green screen, so I just changed the green screen. Sometimes I put, I have a dynamic green screen where I cause people to walk through it. That's pretty good. It's tough to do though. Tesla's way down, yeah. I have some Tesla, just not much. Rob, do you know the Up Only podcast? Are you guys are really interested for a short crypto vision? Sure, haven't reached out on Twitter. I don't know. I'll go on shows though. Ah, Naughty Elon, let's see. Perfect sharding for tacos. Happy Taco Tuesday to you too. Jack, what is happening in Bitcoin as far as like building? That is my question. And there's one thing I wanna show you, a data point. There's this great website. It's called Look into Bitcoin. And there's one I wanted to take a look at, all the charts, and it's free to use. That's why I'm always recommending it. This one, Bitcoin lighting capacity in nodes. I found this interesting. I'm like, what the heck happened here? Because the nodes just fell off the cliff. 7,000, well, I don't know if there's just, you can't just leave 10,000 in a day. Doesn't make any sense. So I thought that was interesting. And then lighting capacity. I don't know what happened here. So again, the nodes went off and now here we are back down to this point. I just don't understand why that happened. So if anybody knows, let me know. So again, I have to ask Jackal, who's building on Bitcoin? That's the question. Ah, Bleniel Wells. I'm learning Solidity, Python, knows what program line is also gonna learn blockchain programming, I have a playlist on my channel. Thank you, sir. I probably might at some point, check it out, but who knows? Not everyone is a pro trader like CQL. We'll see Brighton here. There we go, it's better. Starting to look like I'm about to explode or something. Oh yeah, happy 14th birthday, Bitcoin. Thank you, Ryan, I forgot about that. Today is the day. Thoughts on Hex? I sure hope that PulseChain rolls out. I saw Richard Hart tweet out and he said, hey, PulseChain's not here yet. Welcome to software. And that was it. I was like, oof, looking pretty tough. And I had heard some rumblings about investigations, but you know, whatever. I don't have any, so I don't really know about it. And of course, everybody's gonna call it a scam. But he does the thing though, like you have to understand that everything's a scam. Like, trust me, my brother, who deals in his traditional equities, he looks at me and is like, so how's that scam market doing? I'm like, ugh, here we go. Everything's a scam. I'm like, oh yeah, he's still banking with JPMorgan. They're scammers too. Everything's good? No. CPR says, how do you find what products to invest in? So, I don't want to invest into too many new things. There's this, I have another channel called DanDegen. And these are the ones that, first of all, there's a couple of people I trust and know. And these people that I know are from here, from Puerto Rico, and they are crypto OGs. And they're here for a specific reason. And these people, you'll never see them on social media. They'll never post anything. They'll never have a channel because they believe in just being low-key. So, I've run into a couple of people, met some people, and they tell me some things behind the scenes. And these are the ones that I get involved into. And those are the ones. Like, the ones that I got involved, I'll show you, geez. Where is it? There's a link in the description. And if you scroll down, this right here. So first of all, that video we did yesterday where I show you all the different examples of DCing over five years, 18, 19, 20, 21. Yeah, four years. You can find that here. That's the slideshow. Four year cycles right there. My old, I did strategy, da-da-da. And here's my D-Gen plays, as I call them. These are the ones that I did. Just four. Gensokishi Everdome fame and sweat coin. And in all honesty, Gensokishi did, phew. And that was one of my best, the better ones. So you can't look at the price now, obviously. But if we go back. So when I got in, of course, I couldn't, I didn't get my coins early because that was the deal. Like, they didn't pay me to talk about it. I had to pay them. And they said, oh, we also, we're gonna lock up your tokens. And I was like, that sucks, but okay. But it made sense because there's an allocation and I get an allocation every three months. So like, I mean, we got in for a penny. Penny and a half. And it went all the way up to $1.62. So pretty good, right? But I couldn't sell anything until like over here or something. And it was only like a small percentage. So I was like, that's fine. Because I mean, I can't dump anybody. Everdome's and then fame, fame was a tricky one. It made sense because fame was, what they do is they, the token itself, it's like the UFC of Europe. And what they do is they have influencers, people on TikTok and YouTube and whatever else. And they just make them fight. Essentially, that's what it is. And since they have such a big reach, I thought it would work out pretty well. And that's the flat line, but it's because it would have worked out pretty well. 32, 30, 44 cents, fame was again in a penny. Unfortunately, I talked about it and everybody could get in, but I couldn't, I had this, I sold like around right here when I actually, I still have a bunch of tokens because that's what it was. And then a sweat coin, another one like that, but it's the same dealie. It's all the same stuff. It's just when I get into these projects, like I have to pay to get in because if they pay me, it doesn't, it wouldn't make any sense because then it would just be like everybody else out there. And then what I do is, what I look at is the cut. I just look at the community, how big is it, how massive could it be? And then fame was a no-brainer because fame was, it was all these fighters that were influencers, pretty well. And then with Gensokishi, that was a working game for the last eight years. And it was on PlayStation and Nintendo and iOS and Android. And then it transferred to the metaverse. That was a no-brainer. And then sweat coin, that's like the number one downloaded app in 2021 for health and fitness. I was like, why wouldn't I do those things? So the community was big, the utility, I believe them, I mean with fame, sure. Gensokishi was, it was built on MATIC. And I thought that was a pretty good idea for the metaverse world and play to earn all that stuff. And then of course, sweat coin, the utility is just walking to get free coins, everything's free, sure. Tokonomics were good and the team was stellar. So that's what I look at, the community utility team in Tokonomics. Now, the things that I talk about work out pretty well, if you just listen, of course you can get in and buy and sell soon enough. I have to get in early and then wait. But I always knew that they were gonna be two, three, four year time frames. I was okay with that. So that's a long answer for a short question. Okay, let's see. Instead of doing a DC, I'm doing DC at right times, using TA to determine better times to buy lows versus just buying randomly. That's a good idea. You can try it. And Tiago says, when do you think ETH will hit 10K? That was my original assessment. I thought ETH would hit 10K. Who knows? I don't think you're looking at those numbers. 2025, 2026, maybe 2027. And that's pushing it. I'm very, I try to be as conservative as I can. Look, I thought Bitcoin go to 100,000. It was wrong. I went to 70 though, felt pretty good about that. Any updates on Gemini earned frozen assets recently? Yeah, the Winkle, I think Tyler sent out the letter to Barry Silver from the DCG group and said, look, you're hiding behind things and you need an answer for this. We need to open these things up. And they gave them until January 8th to come to a resolution. So January 8th is apparently is the day. Yeah, that's true. SPF might not be done. A plea deal to expose more crypto insolvencies in front. Maybe that was the plan. Go in there and just say, all right, not guilty. And then make the prosecutor come to you and say, okay, let's do a deal because you know you're guilty, so let's just work this out. And we'll cut some time off. Ricky says, Rob, do you just buy properties with opportunities to just rent? Or do you purchase raw land as well? I do both. So me and the wife, we do short-term rentals and it works out pretty well. I mean, we have properties here in Puerto Rico and Houston and El Paso. And short-term rentals work out pretty well but when they start to decline, which they are still up there but they might decline over this year because I think there's a recession coming and we will just transition to long-term rentals. Having people sign six months leases, 12 months leases and go from there. And as far as land, I don't buy as much but we still have land, still owning our portfolio and that's what we do. If there's a great land opportunity, we'll buy it but that won't come until mid to the end of 2023, maybe 24, it's just holding on. And that's it. I love property. Probably is great. You know, depreciation is fantastic. You can use it on taxes and then it's just there. You know what's great about land or properties in general? You have to check your stupid portfolio all the time to see if it's up or down. Nobody cares. I just like, I bought property. This is in it for the long haul. Yeah, Peter Schiff is annoying. Like, I know he's on Pomp's show and Pomp tries to persuade him but it's a lost battle, sorry. That's fine. Wouldn't that be the longest-winded conversation you've ever heard in your life? Sailor and Schiff, that would be a long drawn out combo. Well, you can sit around running Crypt of the Crow. He's always got an open invite. Guy never reaches out. I reach out to him all the time on Twitter. Not for 2023. Gonna cat-a-shack my pool, Bertie. When do you think he, again, 2025, six or seven? Who knows? Do you watch Real Vision Channel? No. There's this guy, though. Darius, I forgot his name, but he was on Paul Barone Network. Real smart guy. Real intuitive what's going on. I can get behind him because he has a lot of good data points. Real good guy. But Real Vision, no. That must have been a cracking character. I don't see him doing that, but maybe that'd be great. I think once Ripple wins that lawsuit, it'll extra people go, well, skyrocket. It's coming. It's only a matter of time, I think. I never talk about it because it's just such a slog. Thoughts on World of Mobile Token. That is the one project I don't think I'll ever sell. And I got a pretty good amount. I'm a note operator for them. Happy to do it. That is a great project with great utility, with a fantastic team that knows exactly what they're doing. So far, the whole thing is, can they scale? And I'm rooting for them big time. SBFS judge to redact the names of the two who co-signed his bond. Who could it be? Kevin O'Leary and Larry David. Maybe KOL. Larry David, who knows? Okay. I think that's it. I think I answered everybody's. No, and chicken says, Rob is super bored. It signed him up all the shows. I'm not bored, I'm just trying to keep myself busy. You know, after my best friend passed, Chewie, and it's just tough without him. So I just try to just go all day long. Sucks. That's dumb. Put your hearts and go, I'll never trust. I sure as flamboyant. I think that's it. Hold on. See, there you go. Pro is bullish on pulse. Good. Daniel Research, you look at it like, I think it's gonna work out pretty well. What's wrong with that? You think it's gonna be awesome? That's it. See, that's the thing. If you do your own research and really dive into it, never invest into something you don't understand. And if you really understand something, if you think you understand something, just get into it. And then just say, okay, well, I know a lot about it. And as time goes on, if you find something that doesn't jive, you're like, hold on, wait, Bitcoin had a double spend. I think I'm gonna stop investing into Bitcoin. You know what I mean? Because you know about that. Someone else, if you walk up to anybody in the street and go, hey, bad news, there was a double spend on Bitcoin, like what the hell are you talking about? But you know. So this is one of those things where you can say, well, I've done my research and when there's some nanogans, I jump out. And Pro says, how quickly can you fly to Puerto Rico if a storm is coming? It's like a storm all the time. That's not true, actually. There's tropical storms. But I never tried to get a flight out. I never tried to beat out a hurricane. Not a big, that's it, Darius Dale. That's the guy. Good guy, smart guy. A lot of data points. Good question, Luis Payano. Rob, when it's time to sell, why do people move them to exchange for swap on decks? I don't know. You can do it. But when you swap, some people just wanna swap for fiat. I don't know, excuse me. When they wanna sell, they just wanna sell it for cash. But you can swap out for stable coins. Then the thing that becomes is like, what do you do with your gains? So let's just give you a prime example. Most people have bills, right? You might have bills. You might have bills in your credit card, or maybe you still owe in your car, or maybe you haven't paid your house off. So when you make that swap on the decks for USDT, USDC, or whatever stable coin that it is, now how do you pay off the other parts of that? That's, I think, where it comes into it. If there was some kind of way to swap things out on MetaMask, which would be your browser wallet, sure. I mean, you can swap. You can use MoonPay, but their rates are freaking outrageous. I mean, four to 6% on a swap? Sorry, like that was the whole thing, the whole point for crypto was to get rid of middleman. And because of MoonPay and what it is, I don't like MoonPay at all, period. I think it's just a ridiculously high amount. And they'll say, well, this is just how it is. But if you take a look at like the rates for Visa, I mean, it's in some places in a preferred partner, it's less than 0.5%. So I'm looking at, I'm like, what's the advantage here? I don't get it. Not a fan of them, period. All right, so that was the long answer, pain. Yeah, that's a good question. I mean, you can do it and then you can just put on it to, then you want to get cash. It depends on what you want to do it with, right? Transaction fees. Yeah, so sat wise is right. We covered this yesterday. This was about, there was one of Bitcoin Core developer who got hacked, his wallet got hacked or, it wasn't even his wallet. First of all, it wasn't a cold storage wallet. He left things on the server. He did PGP, pretty good privacy. And apparently that server had already had problems before. So he had done some, in my personal opinion, some rookie mistakes. And I just don't believe the story anyhow. I don't see how a Bitcoin Core developer would leave $3.6 million and something like that and just say, oh, I just got a hack and hacking all my crypto's gone, all my Bitcoin's gone. I'm like, really? That's what you're gonna want us to believe. All they had to do is use a ledger. You know, easy that is. I don't know, seems ridiculous to me. Yeah, Chris, so here's the thing. Rob, a bunch of sweat coin challenge. Many of us Android are able to join. We clicked invite link, it opens the app and nothing happens. Can you check with sweat coin what's up, thanks. Yeah, so I don't know what's going on with the app itself. Maybe there's an update waiting for a callback from the support team and we'll get it all figured out. But don't worry, it'll still count those steps. Yeah, exactly. Gene says more of a theft than a hack. equivalent of leaving your wall on a park bench. Return to file a cash missing. Oh my goodness. Oh my God, I do declare. I can't believe I've been robbed in the raw daylight. Yeah, that type of stuff. Anyone? Welcome. That'd be nice. I don't think that's gonna happen. That's a good question. Anybody have paid in? Yeah, man, don't worry. So there's like, on the app, I can only follow so many people, but it should be automatic when you sign up on my link. It should just go to it. So I'm just gonna figure that out. Yeah, Cisco. Thanks for keeping it strong. I'm young, I've got decades to outlast these smart money. First of all, smart money isn't smart money. Smart money is just big money. I don't believe they're smart money at all. I think they just have a lot of money. I've met a lot of people, a lot of money, and they're dumb as hell. Sorry, that's just the truth. I'm no genius and I'm doing okay. So look, I don't think it really comes down to like how smart you are or whatever else. It just is grit and determination and just sticking with it. Just like in the military. Like all they had to do was, you didn't have to be the brightest or the smartest or the fastest or the strongest. You just have to show up with the right uniform every day and you get promoted. That was it. It's very simple. Don't kill anybody. That was the other one. If you just did that, that was all. So Cisco, there's no real, real smart money out there. I mean, there's a couple of people, but mostly it's just big money. So then once there was a quote by Steve Jobs and he said, once you realize that the world in life is made up by people who are no smarter than you, then you realize that you have a long way for prosperity. That's really what it comes down to. So, all right. So everybody that said, man, an hour and five minutes. All right, time to go eat. Kind of go back to the reality, but thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate everybody. If you liked today's long video, an hour and six minutes plus, hit the like button. And that's the new format. We're gonna try to do prerecorded one. Then we'll do a quick news story, which is like maybe eight, seven, eight minutes to see everybody up to set the speed. And then I'll just answer a bunch of questions and we'll just chat. That's it. Thanks so much, everybody. I appreciate you all. And I'll see you guys on the next one. Have a good night or day. Adios.
