 the good stuff, and now we'll go into a little Q and A. All right, let's see. So when Finney says, for your cycle, I doubt it going forward. 300 billion doesn't care about your cycle. I heard the same thing. I heard the same thing at 2021. Seen the workout okay, and no one really knows. It's just an opinion, right? I have an opinion. You have an opinion, other people have an opinion, but I still think it's gonna play out. I know some people will say, some people will say like, it doesn't matter about the having. There's nothing to do with the price for the having. That may be true. I think it has something to do with it. I think one person out of the 8 billion people, or the 450 million people that have picked up crypto along their journey, maybe they take a look at it and say, well, you know what, maybe one person says, I think that might be a factor. And that factor for that having, and of course, there's a less of a supply, so it becomes more scarce. I'm going to foam away and or pick up into it. So maybe one person, who knows? Or maybe it's 50% or 70%, I don't know for sure, but I think that it does play a role in some way, shape or form. The question is how much? Is it 100%, is it 80%, I don't know. But it seems to be something and go from there. All right, so here's some questions. Jake, today, Rob, have you swapped magic for pole yet or polygon yet? No, I haven't. Apparently I should do that. I'll give that at some point. I think we had enough time. And then Joe, Joe coconut says, hey, Rob, I love your stuff. With the emergence of various blockchain tech, I do often get blinded by all the shining stuff. How do you stay informed in the crypto space besides Ben's site? It's very tough because there's so many different things coming out. And you have to understand that a lot of these, remember in 2017 and 2021, only 20% hit their all-time high. So then you think about, well, which ones did massive or massive in 2021? Well, the ones that didn't even exist in 2017. I mean, look no farther than Solana. Solana was enormous and it didn't even exist back then. I think it came about end of 2019, maybe 2020, correct me in the comment section. And that's gonna happen again. The question is, how much do you want to look into it to find that gem? And some people, like I've met some people in our meetups at Puerto Rico, they'll show me a portfolio of a hundred S coins. I have no idea what they are. Absolutely, they're like, I've got a thousand here. I've got a thousand there. I've got like a hundred thousand of these. These are all $1,000. And of course, if these all hundred X, I'll be making money like crazy. You can do that. I just don't have the time to do that. And that's why I invest into the things that I think are gonna do pretty well. And it's not a max out type of thing. Some people say that, well, if it's all about money and you're trying to make as much, then why don't you just get into the alt coins? I could, but again, like I said, the farther down you go, the more at risk is. You can do that. Again, your goals are not my goals. Your plan is not my plan. If you have a plan and your plan is that, stick to that plan and hopefully it works out for you. Again, there, what did Ben say? There is no we in investing. There's you and you, and that's it. And no true awards have been set before. Let's see, what do we got? Dan, what was it? So you see that percentage of people on profit versus not? It looks like a coin gecko. If you're looking for who's in profit or not, the one I usually go to is into the block, I don't have a link or a link, but if you search for end of the block, you'll find it is a paid website. And then James says, I take it from this, you wanna sell back into a failing fiat currency. There's some truth to that. People will always say, why do you sell into dollars when it's gonna inflate away? Whatever the inflation rate today is, whatever the government makes up, whatever it really is. I think for true inflation, I think we're at 2.35, whatever. So the thing is with that is that you have to understand, and this is something I didn't talk about in the video. Every time you're getting into investing, you think you'll stop at some point, like, oh, just put it all in the bank, money there, go to the tropical island, drink my ties and do absolutely nothing. That's not how it works. At some point, maybe when you're like 90, maybe you can slow down, I guess, but for me, I look at it like this, I will always be investing. I will always be getting into assets. The thing is, and this is the same thing with traditional finance. At some point, people who are in traditional equities, they'll look at stocks and they'll say, okay, this stock ran up and I'm going to take profits and then get out of it and get into another stock. And I'm gonna run that up, hopefully, and get out of it. For me, for assets, it works like this. Bitcoin is gonna do great, right? But at some point, and so far it's played out the same way, it'll probably have a little bit of a massive pullback, again, if we believe in the four year cycle. So what would I do? Take those funds and maybe I, first of all, I can't tell you what to do, but maybe if you have massive debt at 20 some percent, maybe you want to pay off some of that debt. Maybe you don't, maybe you want to let it ride, just say I'm taking Bitcoin forever, right? But just remember that if you got in at 60,000 and then want to drop to like 15, 16, 17, maybe you're like, maybe I should have taken some profits. And then for that, I look at the cash, I go, maybe I want to invest into other assets like precious metals. I personally own gold and silver. I don't see the problem with the gold bugs why they hate us so much. I think not every one of them does. I think it's just Peter Schiff and whatever he's doing, but he just is like a bad stance on everything. I think gold and silver people like Mike Maloney, they get Bitcoin, they understand it quite well and they're very smart and with it. So that would be one aspect, also land and real estate. I think those are great assets to get into, especially for long-term investments and to pass them on. Also, there's a great issue with owning real estate as far as tax benefits, as far as the depreciating value of those assets. And of course, as they depreciate, you can use that on your taxes. Oh yeah, that's right. You're gonna still pay taxes at some point. So maybe you think about those things and just say, well, maybe there's something else I can do. So to answer your question, James, no, I'm not going to just sit with cash, but I will say the people that did sell, they're all of coins, and yes, some Bitcoin, and they were sitting on a heavy bunch of cash. As that started to decrease, they're probably feeling pretty good, just saying. And I'm not a big trader, but you can do all those things. So I think if Mike is there, this is like, it's supposed to reduce the reverberation or something, I don't know. Hey, Darth. And Mollett says it right. I think Schiff has too much invested to like anything else but gold. But you understand, Peter Schiff, he called it perfectly back in the day when gold had a massive spike, and he's been living off that forever. And for as long as I've known him, it's the same thing. There's gonna be a recession, it's gonna be huge, you gotta get into gold. Next month, there's gonna be a recession, you gotta get into, it's gonna be huge, you gotta get into gold. And every so many years, he's absolutely right, but the question is the timing. And I don't really care what he does, but I know what I'm doing and it seems to work out okay. Peter's a slow learner. And I'll say what Jeff says. Everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve. You get Bitcoin and altcoins at the price you deserve. That's true, even me. Yeah, Crypto Ricardo says, Hold on, where'd he go? Ah, there we go, even better. While selling the pilot cash, you can sell cash, secured calls all the way down and pocket juicy premiums. Yeah, or you can get into like, what some other people do, they get into bonds, they get into treasuries, they get into T-bills and it's just free money. And that's like, if you're a millionaire, multi-millionaire, why wouldn't you do that? It's the safest thing you could possibly do. I think it's a pretty good way to do things. Also, this is what my wife does, is instead of the cash just sitting there, she'll make loans out and she'll make loans and then she'll be a first lean holder on different properties. And then of course, the interest rates are pretty favorable and people pay them off at a premium. That's not a bad way to do things either. Again, make the money work for you, don't wanna just sit around and be lazy, like I did. Jeff says, Michael Saylor said, Peter really doesn't actually hold that much gold. Yeah, I remember there was one, there was a debate between him and Richard Hart. And Richard Hart asked him, how much gold he has as compared to equities. And he says, well, I held more stocks than I do gold. And he's like, well, if you believe in it so much, why don't you just hold more of that? He's like, well, because it doesn't appreciate as well. I was like, well, that's very telling. I mean, me personally, like I have 30% of my net worth is in Crypto Angel assets. The other 30% is into real estate. And then I have them spaced around between I trust, cash, little diversification as far as like masterworks or other businesses. So yeah, not bad. It's a good question. Muhammad says, Hey, Robin, your opinion, does gold hit all time high and 24? I don't know. I'm not the, there's a lot of different people out there that are much smarter than me on gold. So I'll tell you what I know, I don't know, I don't know. It'd be great if it did. That'd be awesome. I think Schiff is right about the next crash, but it's telling us all the, yeah, look, it's just like, it's like your parents, you know, they'll tell you, you're gonna get in a car accident. You're gonna get in a car accident. 10 years later, you're gonna get in a car accident. Like, see, I told you. Oh yeah, you're gonna fall. You're gonna fall 20 years later, you fell. Oh, I told you, gonna fall. So carrot Waffle says, Hey, Robin, if you see Bitcoin returns higher than alts, why do you DCA into alts? It's very simple. It's because right now I can't time it. And I know some people will say, well, this guy timed it and that guy timed it. Well, good for them. I'm not them. So I don't know what's going to happen. And I know some people would say that you shouldn't have DCA at all because Bitcoin was going to 10K or 8K or something like that. And I'm like, well, where the hell are those people now? Quite honestly, all those people that were calling for it to go to that price, where are they now? They shut up because it didn't. And if you just would have dollar cost average into things, you wouldn't have done pretty well. Again, if you look at Bitcoin, it's gone up 108% since the beginning of the year, correct? Somewhere around there, right? But I mean, you can always take a look at the Solanas of the world and say, well, that's done pretty damn good too. I don't know if it's gone. Well, yeah, it's gone over. Let's take a look, shall we? And again, this is one altcoin out of a period of massive amounts of altcoins. So if I had a crystal ball, which I don't, let's take it for one year. That's pretty shit. Who's that, 36 bucks? Then December went here, well, yeah. Let's see, what's the first of January? Okay, second of January, what does he use that number? 11 bucks, right? Now what is it today? 31 bucks. Let me do some quick math. That's a little more than 100%. So again, I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't think anybody really does. It's a good estimate, I guess, but that's why Delacos average a bunch of things. Now, moving forward, I think that some alts will outperform Bitcoin. I do believe that. Which ones? I don't know. And that's why I spread things around diversify. So yeah, I saw a license plate on it, I just said Solana. That guy must like it. I am in a lot of pain. Thank you for noticing, it sucks. It sucks just to sit here. I got these bars right here and I can just kind of take the pressure off and just do this. That feels good. But yeah, I mean, what else am I gonna do? Am I gonna lay around and be in, if I'm gonna be in pain, I'm gonna be up to doing something in pain, right? That's it. JNX Crypto says, many, many YouTubers were saying, don't follow into Bitcoin when it comes from 16 to 17 in January, 2023. My message on this channel has been the same forever, which is very simple. I am not smart. I am not a genius, by any stretch of the imagination. And I don't know enough to really time the market perfectly. So because of that, I feel that dollar cost averaging, although may not be the best returns, if you can time it, the bottom's on the tops, which whoever the hell's doing that, I will just keep doing the same thing and then it's gonna move forward. Now, does that mean that while Rob, got something right and he's not gonna be wrong, tomorrow could be totally different. Tomorrow, that's the thing. Tomorrow we could see who knows. Gary Gensler comes out and says, you know what, unequivocally, I am not gonna approve this Bitcoin ETF because it's all, and he just said this actually in the interview yesterday, Wednesday. He said it again. He said crypto and the digital asset market is filled with scammers and fraudsters and manipulators. He doubled down, triple quadrupled down on what he said. And after that, tomorrow, maybe we get into some massive enormous war or I don't know, something happens, because you never know. So what does that mean for me? Well, that means for me, between us, I was not happy that there was this bull run, this little, you know, pomp because I was like, son of a, because in my mind, I'm thinking to myself, four-year cycle should play out. I got a lot of times to accumulate. I've been accumulating now for two years. Let me get my cost basis down and keep buying Bitcoin and some all coins. And you know exactly what I'm buying because I talk about it every Sunday. And I was very not upset. I mean, my portfolio was up, I'm like, well, that's good. But in the long run, I'm not here for this month or next month, I'm here for the next years and years and years. And I just feel like I had a lot of time and I didn't get that time. But I mean, you're always gonna feel that way. Let's be honest. Yeah. Yeah, I do the dog walks every morning, but it's just every step is excruciating. So I know it's supposed to help. But again, thanks everybody for reaching out, you know, physical therapy, manual physical therapy, inversion tables, dry needling, chiropractic services, injections, anti-inflammatories, hot cold plunges, exercises. I mean, I'm trying them all, trust me. You did not want to go into the knife. And if it was just me and me being smart enough, I should have not deadlifted that stump out of the ground. Idiot. But Donny says dump the misses, sell the car and buy a Bitcoin. Well, my life doesn't go on without my wife. So that's it. Wow, you can have all the money in the world. You don't have your best friend next year, what matters. Doesn't matter. Resty, you're just on time. This is a great question. Your opinion, do you think we would visit 20K to 30K range ever again? Absolutely. And you know what I gauge that from? Everybody on Twitter was saying, this is the last chance you're gonna have to buy Bitcoin before 30K. I'm like, as soon as I see that, I'm like, shh, there you go. Now we're gonna have to go down because that's the indicator. And it's the same thing. Like I remember when people were saying, you'll never get Bitcoin before below 20K. And that was in October of 2022. Went down to 15 cents. What are you gonna do? Ah, yeah. Hey, Iska, I don't know a bit cautious about this rally. New profile picture, very nice. I don't wanna get too excited. I'm here for years to come. Yeah, me too. Again, and everybody knows that this channel is not going away in the height of the bull market, but I will stop doing videos because if I tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna execute that plan. I'll come on here and tell you, okay, I sold. This was the indicator that I talked about two years ago or whenever it is. I sold 50 to 80% holding onto this. And I'll probably just rehash, do some watch alongs maybe, but I'm not gonna put out any new videos because all the shenanigans and all the problems happen in the bull market. And everybody gets over their skis and they get over exuberant and they do stupid things. Just look at the last one. So at that point, I'm gonna step off and say, this is what I've done. And you're welcome to take a look at that and maybe incorporate that or just keep doing what you're doing. And then once everything crashes and it'll crash, then I'll come back. Because I think that's when people will, I mean, if I say the message before, I'm gonna lose out on a lot of subscribers or who cares, it's just a bunch of, it's just a bunch of tourists at that point. And they're gonna screw up anyhow. So then I just tell them I sold and you get the price you deserve and I'll ask the Lovista and that's it. Then I come back in the bear market and do what I do now. Everybody can yell at me. Yeah, that's it. This is the problem. I did hot yoga for six years. And then the year that I stopped is the one I screwed my back. See? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What if Rob has been the green screen? Rob, I think this XRP is gonna do pretty well. I think now that's not under the thumb of Gary Ginza on the SEC suing him, I think they'll have appropriate price appreciation and nobody deserves it more than the XRP Army who's been waiting so patiently. Ah, what's on Rob's wish list when you cash out? Not much. My life pretty much won't change. I mean, what am I gonna do? Buy another indoor pool green screen and it just doesn't make much sense. Ah, maybe update my, nah. My Dodge Grand Caravan still works. I don't see what point of buying another one. Makes no sense. And that's it. Red Panda Pie, you should focus on your health, Rob. Thanks for the videos. Pay the same to take care. That's it. A new wife. And with the dumbest idea I could possibly have. And that's it. Give some a, yes, give some a cherry, perfect. Anyhow, that's a good way to stand it. Everybody, thanks so much for stopping by. We're going over an hour. My back is killing me, but that's it for today. So if you like today's video, give it a thumbs up. Consider subscribing. I don't even talk about this time sensitive. But that's it. Thank you so much. I appreciate you guys, I really do. And I'll see you on the next one. Have a great day. Adios.
