 Welcome to Jalassette News, the top stories in cryptocurrencies and Jalassettes. I'm gonna break them down into bite-sized pieces, so today we're welcome to do a little bit of something different. I'm gonna try to use a different microphone, so we'll see exactly how this all works out. But the whole theme of today's video is, did I miss it? Because with everything that's going on right now, it is January 3rd, it is around 11 a.m., El Paso, Texas time. With everything that's happening, especially with Bitcoin, just skyrocketing in price. I mean, just what was it a couple months ago? We were sitting around $10,000, $11,000. Now, here we are today, this morning, at $33,000, sometimes $34,000. Just depends on the minute that you look at the price action. So the question that I've been getting a lot, not just an email, but in messages and everything that on Twitter is, did I miss it? Did I miss the whole bull run? Is it too late to invest? And the answer is really no. I mean, you didn't miss anything. And the real question is, did you miss out on these fantastic gains? Well, with Bitcoin, potentially, yeah. I mean, if you look at price predictions, and there's everything out there, everything from it's going to go to $50,000 this year, it's guaranteed. Or you see other ones where it's going to go to $400,000. Or some people even say $1.2 million. We had Raul Powell from Real Vision, he came out and said that, yeah, doing this logarithmic chart, it looks like it's going to $1.2 million by this year, which I think is absolutely insane, but it's cryptocurrency. So what do you know? So if you're thinking about like Bitcoin, did I miss it? It just depends on where you think it's actually going to go and the store of value narrative versus the actual currency narrative and can it actually find legs? Me personally, I'm going to go very conservative and just say I see it as around $150,000 this year, 2021. And that's like a guarantee. Like I would, I have no problem with telling my own mother, hey, put your money into this because it's going to go to $150,000. That's what I personally believe at minimum. And of course, if it overshoots, hey, it overshoots. So we have to take a look at that and say, well, it was $35,000 right now. Or let's just say $30,000. Round numbers, I'm wrong, we're good with math. Not real good with math. So if we take $30,000 to get to $150,000, well, I mean, we're only looking like a 5x and a 5x, that's a, that's a pretty huge market cap. And if you're right, you know, if you're on the far right, as far as Bitcoin maximalism, you're like, yep, definitely. And everything else is going to zero. If you're somewhere in the middle, you're like, maybe, and then if you're on the left hand side, you're like, you know what, you know, it's going to go great tomato coin or whatever crazy coin that's out there. So just think about this way to 5x, you are, you haven't missed anything right now, even though it's, you know, $33,000. So then you start to take a look at what about the altcoins? Well, if you go down the list and look at Ethereum, remember in 2017, when this all, you know, just shot off like a rocket, the first net I saw when everybody saw was Bitcoin. So when you take a look at the alts, everything under Bitcoin, that those are the ones that will pop off next. Will there be an altcoin season? I think yes, I mean, there usually is one. I think there won't, there will be a little more volatility because the big institutions are pretty much investing into Bitcoin and also Ethereum for that matter. We kind of see things that are going on right now. Like Ethereum, this morning is 937. It's up 20%, 34% for the week. And then the third spot, you as Tether, nobody cares unless you're an auditor. And then the fourth one is interesting is Litecoin. Litecoin flip with XRP. And you know, if you're a heavy XRP holder and you only own XRP, this might be a chance for you to take a step back and go, maybe I should take a look at alts. I'm not telling you what to do. I'm not a financial advisor. But I'm just saying, I firmly believe in diversification. So if you think like, well, you know, I'm just going to just load up on XRP and see what happens. Could work out for you. But who knows? The big question that I have is, if XRP is really being used 95% throughout the globe and only 5% in America, we're getting shut down here in the United States. So if we get shut down here in the States, why did the price drop so dramatically? Shouldn't everything else throughout the globe kind of take care of that? Why did it go from 60 to 50 cents, the 30 to 20, to whatever we're going to go to next? It's a question I'm sure I'm sure you will tell me exactly what it is in the comment section. But that's just how I see it. But I mean, look at the other ones, like Polkadot. Do you think Polkadot is topped out at $9? I don't think so. I think it's a $50 coin. Could be $100. I was on Alex Masculi's show. We've had some very smart people on there and they think, yeah, 50 bucks seems reasonable, $200. Great. So if that's the case, that's a 5X to 10X play. And then just going down farther, even if you look at like Cardano. Cardano right now is at 19 cents. 19 cents. So imagine Cardano back in the bull run days, it was like $1.13, I think was the all-time high. Is it outside of all possibility that it can go 5X, 10X, 20X? Because Bitcoin's already gone to its all-time high plus another 50%. So these are just things you can definitely take a look at and go, you know what? I think I can get into this chain link. No, not a use. Celsius is on a tear. Theta, which I've been talking about on the channel a lot, and all the ones that I'm biased and I always talk about. You may have yours. But just take a look at what's going on. And I think that this time right here, if you look at the whole rhythm of how things go, really it is, you know, Bitcoin kind of pops off. And then here comes the alts. So when you have all these things in line, I think you're just at the perfect time to invest into something else. Again, none of the time what to do, this is what I'm going to do. I have stopped dollar cost averaging into Bitcoin for right now, and I'm putting them into the alts. And I have, there was a video that we did recently, and it was the only four that I DCA'd, which was Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and Voyager, which was kind of a controversial pick. But these days, since Bitcoin hit above 30,000, I kind of took my foot off the gas on that one. And it is Ethereum, Cardano, Voyager, and Celsius. I think with one of those four, I don't have to have them all winners. I just have to have just one big win. And I'm pretty happy about that. So that's what's going on. And then there's also this article I want to bring up as far as like, did I miss it? If you look at Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, they're the most, they're the best or most prolific investors out there of the last century, we'll say, maybe Rockefeller's out up there. But these guys made fantastic moves, and they missed the boat on cryptocurrency. And it's not just cryptocurrency, they missed the boat on. They missed the boat on a lot of different other assets. They, you know, they missed the boat on Google. They missed the boat on Netflix. I mean, they missed the boat on a lot of things because they're not techie guys. So when you take a look at these guys, and this article, it talks about, let me scroll down real quick. This is 2018 annual shareholds meeting Buffett said that Bitcoin is rat, rat coin, rat poison squared. And then they talk about how Bitcoin's value anywhere above the 29,300 mark. We'll put it above the entire market valuation of Brookshire Hathaway, which is their flagship for Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett at 4,544 billion, which is a billion above that whole capitalization. So if you take a look at like, well, did I miss it? Well, you haven't missed anything yet, but the boat is leaving. And if you're going to sell them the sideshores, the sidelines, just like Charlie and Warren, you're going to miss a lot. And the last thing I want to, I want to bring up is this. And that is everybody who has been in this space has felt like they have missed the boat all throughout time because they're like, ah, you know, shoot, I missed, I missed Celsius at $9 or, you know, or $2 or whatever it was. I remember, I remember getting Celsius at below $1 was awesome. Theta, this is the same type of thing. Bitcoin, I remember in March when I crashed out of $5,000, it was awesome. But so people always say, well, I missed the boat. But take a look at this. I think getting Bitcoin right now at $2,000, it would be a steal, right? I think everybody can agree with you there. Well, let's take a look at the history itself. If you look at all the way back in 2013, you had Bitcoin at $14. I remember looking at these posts where people were all pissed off because they sold like eight bucks, nine bucks, like, God, look, now it's like $14. I'll never be able to get in there. And then, you know, it goes up to $46. This is on March, 2013. They're like, Oh, you know, I sold at $14. Now I'll never get in there. And then just in a very short amount of time, you went from 200 bucks in October, 2013, all the way up to over $1,000 in November. And of course, when I hit $1,000, believe me, everybody down here who had sold up that ladder, same type of thing, like, Oh, my God, I'll never be able to get in there again, because it's way too high and it's going to keep going to moon. That's the problem with some people. They think like, Oh, let's go forever. It doesn't. There's dips and valleys, and it'll keep going up. I truly believe this cycle, you got till 150K. You know, so even if you invested in like, like 100K, which I might at some point, I'm not for sure, but I've already got my positions there. If you don't want to go Bitcoin route, altcoins are a pretty good look. And the ones that I talked about, and it really just comes down to how long do you do you want to wait on on some of these in the top 50? I think, you know, you're pretty safe. We start to look at like 200, 300, 400. Those are longer plays like me. If you've noticed the ones that I DCA, Ethereum is number two, Cardano, seven, eight somewhere around there. And then Celsius is around 17. And then all the way down number 230, something like that is Voyager. So it's kind of like, I consider like fireworks, like one will pop off here, and then a little bit later, another one will pop off, and a little bit later, and they won't pop off. And all the way down here, this other one will pop off maybe a year or two years later. So we try to spread it out and diversify. So I hope that answers some of your questions. As far as like, did I miss the boat? You haven't missed the boat. And I'm just trying to pull everybody into the raft, the life raft that I can possibly get my grubby hands on before everything just goes off. So hopefully that helps. Thanks for watching all the way to the end. And also, lastly, I want to talk about one thing, which is these days, it doesn't matter how much you make, it is how much you keep. And I recently just discovered that I lost $20,000 with the Cardano. Why did I do that? Well, when they were doing the test net, I had opened up the Daedalus wallet, and I had a deposit of $20,000 there because I got kicked off of Binance, and I had to put it somewhere. So I put it in there. And guess what happened? I lost my mnemonic phrase because I was pretty uncareful. So what I have learned is that it's important to store it in a secure way as best as possible, because you don't want to be like me, where you missed that $20,000, which really still hurts. Now I think about it and that sucks. So what I'm going to recommend to you is the stone book. If you don't have a stone book, I've got a couple of myself, they last a lifetime, and they're tear resistant, oil and chemical, water resistant, all that good stuff. And then you've got this cool little James Bond pen, it's like Blackbite, it's pretty cool. But I've got two, one I keep in my house with all the different passwords. And the other ones, I have my safety security box. So if I lose that one or something crazy happens, my house burns to the ground, I have a backup. I don't lose a ton of cryptocurrency that I have on my analyzer and throughout on different wallets. So all right. So that is it for today. If you're looking for the Shield Folio, viewers of Visual Asset News, they get 20% off. Thank you, Freddie, for giving that to us. It's in the description below. There's a link. It looks just like this. And when you click on there, I just go over there, pick one up. I got a couple, and I recommend that, but if you just want one, sure. All right. So that's it for today. Thanks so much for sticking with me to the end. I appreciate it. And I'll see you on the next one.
