 Great welcome everybody digital asset news for the live stream. We got a lot of things to cover So let's just jump right in on this beautiful Sunday evening So we're gonna take a look at of course is what's going on the market I'll just take a look at just a little some quick on-chain analysis to see what's going on And then I want to bring to your attention some important dates Which we've already talked about Fed dates and things like that, but also there's a date That's really important. I think and this is what? Brian Brooks former head of the OCC our office of the Comptroller the currency Is talking about as far as Tuesday also? We'll take a look at Some right mindset which a great video from crypto Casey and then also we're gonna do a little quick little update as far as Play to earn game and being a degenerate on my second channel and get into all that stuff So let's go over all those things, but first let's take a look at what is going on into the market So today it is a Sunday know that it's May 1st. Hey, congratulations everybody. We made it And I'll need to tell you this but the market's kind of sucking right now It's that it usually does and it's just one of those things and when we take a look at it I mean what we just at 2 trillion not too long ago It seems like we were there quite quickly and then all of a sudden we just kind of lost our footing and now you know here Of course we go it's it's one of those things and it's just something that you have to get into that mindset for I think a lot of you have Have been there. It's just there's a lot of you that are new I think it's just one of those things where you just have to Buckle down and just strap in to The volatility which is gonna happen quite a bit so the market itself I don't use anything really up up big time less the last hour or so, but let's see Tara. It's good 2.4 1 1.7 avalanche and of course hey near protocol 7.5. It's pretty good Chronos man kind getting thumped tron for some reason sure and Just because the things that I talk about on this channel may not be your your token your crypto That's ranked 178th or 2034 that doesn't mean there's not a bull run happening. It's just it's not happening for the majority of crypto There are gains to be had but it gets pretty tricky outside that that top 10 at top 20 that top 1,000 so I'll just leave it at that. So that's what we have as far as the market recap Let's go into just a little quick on-chain review and What we're gonna do is just kind of go over just quickly How things have kind of disintegrated in April and this is from Ben's website I know you guys know I always talk about it. Love it. It's great It's got all these great graphs charts and really pulls together things and and really just puts your your mind in the Right way of thinking and you can kind of see that April we were expecting it to be a pretty big month Well, it was not so far Well, not so far. No, it is this April 2022 is the worst April in existence For the crypto market. It's down almost 17%. It's a very red month So I can't tell you the future I can't tell you what's gonna happen in May June July August But I can tell you things are not looking too good. I know some people say well, we're still in a bull market. Okay, I Me personally, I believe we are in a bear mark We've been there for quite some time months and to be exact. We're not too exact to be what it is and That is where we're at. However This is the important part and you're gonna hear me talk about this a lot Because I know a lot of you or some of you are new I can't tell which one of you that is watching right now. I have not telepathic I can't reach out but some of you have been here a very short amount of time I just want to reiterate a couple of things and one of those things is this if you're gonna get anywhere Even though crypto is a pretty big asymmetrical bet It's one of those things where this is what a lot of smart money does. These are called hodl waves again, you can find this at into the cryptiverse com and You can sign up and get all these great stuff. So this looks confusing So let me just hide all this stuff so you're not confused as much as I Would not want it should be this is the price of Bitcoin. Okay, we all got that Goes from, you know, 100k or something like that And our percentage points and what we're looking at here is I want to show you The difference between the long-term holder and the short-term holder long-term holder Let me bring this up. You can see that on the white line here This is the price of Bitcoin and in 20s. Let's just go all the way back You can see here in June 2011 when it spiked to, you know, whopping $28.79 even back then you can see that these Green hodl waves. These are people who are getting out Because they are long-term holders and long-term holders can be anywhere from six months to a year and it's got 10% Of course, that's so long ago. You've only got six months to your one year or two years So it's not a great example But you can see that once the price starts spiking all the smart money says I'm out of here because this is unsustainable And thus it is and then once it dips down what do they do? They start buying again So these green hold these waves are them just buying back in And then, you know, we have right here kind of tops off They get out again and they're waiting for the flat line and again here it happens Flatten's a little bit comes up and then as it starts to come up You'll see That these people who have been in and look at the six months to a year 14% one year to two year 14% two year three year 18.68% And so on three years four years and five years Big chunk a little chunk I should say of people that are there and then as the price starts to go up They get out because like this is sustainable. This is this is a parabolic run. They did that in 2017 and they did it over here again These guys are good. I must admit bitcoin price 58 60s somewhere around there and they got out and now they're re-accumulating yet again Because they're feeling that this is the sideways action. So that is the mindset Of the long-term holder. I want to hide these guys. I don't want to show you The short term guys So the short term does the exact opposite. These are people that hold between a week To about six months like oh i'm gonna be rich because I heard I heard it on tv It's gonna happen, but you can see that as the price spikes So do these people they start buying up like crazy and they cannot get enough You know what happens when it crashes, then they sell and that's not good. It should be the exact opposite So again, I will have to repeat this because it seems like in the comments I know some of you do get it but some of you don't and even though the some of you do get it and understand it It still has to be reiterated because you have to hear these things so many times Before it really gets into your head and i'm sorry to be like that, but that's just how it has to be And also I will say this before I move on In 2014 I had heard about bitcoin and when I crashed I was like, ah, there you go It's dead. It's dead And then at that point because 2013 was that big rally in 2014 Everybody thought I was gonna die like it was gonna go away and could have potentially but it didn't And then when I got in 2017 and then a crash again in 2018 everybody said the same thing It's gonna totally die and during that bear market. I learned these basic principles Which is this which is bear markets do not last forever However, some of these crypto products are not coming back So it's important that you determine which ones are the most important ones And which ones are safe ones ones for you. I can't tell you what that is It's not a financial advisor But it's up to you to decide. I personally am pretty heavy in bitcoin and ethereum now I have a degenerate portfolio, which is five percent. We'll get in that later Which is some pretty massive gains in my dad, but it's not sustainable So again when you're taking a look at these things just be aware that uh, even though that we said our people thought It was going to go away in 2018 bear market didn't last it extended a couple years or so Then we went into a bull run now We're going to get into a bear market and this For me and a lot of people have been here quite a long time Like a crypto casey like ben from in the crypto verse and james. He's he's been there a while We welcome these days because this is where we pick up a lot of crypto for not a lot of money So let's get into those dates that we should be looking at first of all I talked about this I think yesterday if i'm not mistaken When I was not having a great day But this is uh, just so you know The fed is going to have their meetings on these dates So next week may third to fourth. This is probably why you're seeing the dips. We talked about this Why and it's gonna happen in june again july september november december 13th to 14th every time they have a meeting They're probably going to raise interest rates. That's just how it is That's just how they're going to do and i'm going to tell you that every time this happens You'll see a little bit of a dip. So let's go back in time So march 15th through 16th. What would that look like as far as like bitcoin? So in march So over here was going pretty good. I mean everything was just you know, seventh of march 38 Then we topped off at 41 42 everybody's happy and then of course when we heard about this happening for the fed March 15th through 16th You're gonna see it kind of just started to wane And then we knew that they were going to come out and people said that's all priced in and maybe but before they had it Then all of a sudden started to drop a little bit And then afterwards after what happened a little bit, but it still dropped again And then we recovered a little bit now then again. There was another time so Jerome powell was speaking at uh at penn Penn iu i ur some public speaking and he talked and he started to invoke Uh, vulgar Which was the former chair of the federal reserve paul vulgar in the 80s And he talked about how it's important and imperative that they have to raise these interest rates I know people will say well, it's priced in well on that day april 21st We were doing pretty good april 20th 41 Spike tier 42 And then Jerome comes in there and starts talking about raising interest rates And then what happens this is the thursday 21st of april at 6 a.m I think the speech was run. I don't know eight or something like that. And then all of a sudden I just did this So again, I think when this happens you're gonna see a little bit of a drop-off Is that mean that everything's gonna happen like that? No, I don't have a crystal ball But I can just tell you be aware of may june july So 10 of ember december and these dates because around that time you're gonna see a dip if you're a big trader Maybe some to look at i'm not a trader. I really don't Actually, I should care a little more because if I was smarter what I would do is I would hold off on my dca's Even though I dca every day Well, it wouldn't really matter actually for me because I just dca every day So it would be the same thing But if you dca like every week, maybe around those dates, you might want to look at that and go Maybe instead of dcaing on july 29th Maybe I should dca you want it starts to dip that's the 26th or 25th or right before it Anyhow, not a financial wise you that's up to you. So there's that part and then There's this great interview And that's uh steve rilik CEO of Of voyager. He was also the CEO of e-trade and also lightspeed. He's been around for quite a bit of time And we I had an interview with him last week. It was great. Good insight really appreciate it And that right there that gentleman right there to the left. That's brian brooks He's the former occ Or head of the occ office of the comptroller of the currency And he is currently on the board at voyager and also I didn't know this but he's uh the bit fury ceo So he went from essentially washington Right into the heart of crypto and he's gonna there's three points that he brings up here I linked this video in the description. You should watch the whole thing. It's only four It's only about 15 minutes But for these clips He's gonna tell you something that's gonna make you think He's gonna tell you something that's gonna be super important as far as like what the dollar actually is And he's gonna he's gonna tell you something that's gonna probably make a lot of money So the first part I want to talk I want him to talk to you about the politics how we got into it how things have changed since 2017 It's only about two minutes long the next one. He's gonna talk about how dollar is not a store of value Now bitcoin actually is the last one. He's gonna talk about what this whole video is really based on Super tuesday in november. So let me just take a heavy listen. I'm having you listen to all three clips in total It's probably like four minutes. So just hang with me. Let me stop the screen Let me show the tabs so you can hear it And let me mute myself so you there's no echo This began as a non political issue in the sense that nobody democrat or republican even cared about it So like when I first started doing this late 2017 and I even in this longer than I have I couldn't go to the hill And I could not find a member of congress who cared You know if they cared at all it was because they all agreed we were a bunch of money launderers, but nobody cared I then made it my mission on purpose to kind of politicize it because I needed somebody to care And so the most obvious way to politicize it is to say crypto is all about liberty It's about freeing yourself from the shackles of a governmental system That message tended to resonate more with republicans and democrats and so early on you know when I was working on this The republicans started supporting But very quickly democrats started following because they realized something else Which is if you do something away from the banking system is more inclusive You know and the reason is and you know your viewers need to think about this The reason is when banks are lending out their balance sheet They always start with the credit most credit worthy customers first and the second most credit worthy customer second And when you get to the bottom of the credit spectrum, you tend to have historically underserved people who didn't build wealth 100 years ago Crypto doesn't do that. Crypto has global liquidity. It's it's early stage and everyone can participate Yeah, and you were talking about that. Yes, they would we were together is that The banks get to choose Who they want to lend to there's no real And you mentioned it before you put this fair lending act In in place they get to choose who they want to lend to so right your credit rating Uh, if you haven't built credit, there's you think about kids coming out of college No credit right like most of them that you know now Some of you know, you start built trying to build your child's credit somehow or another You know when they're younger, but they come out of college no credit your businesses that just start no credit right and Banks can really keep access away from them. Correct and That's not really I mean, that's not what our government was set up for You know, we're supposed to make everything supposed to be fair access. I mean, I mean the problem I always have steve is who do we think we're protecting people from? You know, I mean we we talked about this before I mean when the government shows up and says, you know We've got this um a credited investor rule and so only rich people Can make the big money right? It's a very perverse thing. Yeah, the crypto doesn't have that and no, but they're trying to push that That agenda's starting to try to be pushed Okay, I'm going to let you listen to the rest of it because it goes off a tangent from there and it's fantastic But it really does make sense doesn't it those accredited investors and if you are Staking on Celsius just so you remember or know that unless you're a credit investor You're not going to gain any interest The only way you can gain interest right now is if you are an accredited investor I mean you may 200,000 dollars or more or you have a corporation that makes 5 million dollars per year or more Or you actually had crypto in your Celsius account before april 15 That's just what it is because they had to bow down to those Regulators and who are they protecting? I mean, it's a great question that brian brooks the former occ says who you're really protecting Who are you protecting and then it's because you're not you're not protecting the people that actually need it Because they're you're screwing those people. That's really what it comes down to So there's there's that part and the next part is just a quick little snippet I have brian tell you about Store value and really what that encompasses take a look I'm not trying to lobby for an industry that i'm financially invested and i'm trying to make a series of Factually correct common-sense points that are mostly just expressed in ways nobody's ever thought about that the idea that The dollar is the store of value The dollar isn't a store of value. It's a unit of exchange, you know It's a medium of exchange But it goes down every year and once you realize that reality Right or once you realize that the legacy systems that we're all invested in protecting like the payment system Have an enormously high cost like two percent of gdp in the us goes to the payment system That's insane. It's insane versus think about the last time he transmitted usdc over salana and it was incidental It cost you nothing Yeah, I mean look thanks for coming brian So yeah, I'll let you delve on the other part and it's fantastic Also, I was listening to a video today. It was uh Michael sailor. He was being interviewed I forgot what show but he talked about his the house that he had in the house that he lives in right now It's a like he's super old house like the early 1920s 1930s I think and he said he's got the deed of trust or the deed and it's like it's like for a hundred thousand dollars And he goes, you know how much my house is now He goes at 33 million dollars. So you go from a hundred thousand dollars to over there To 33 million dollars and he goes you're gonna tell me that inflation is only a two percent Are you out of your mind? He goes even taking a GDP as it grows, you know, two percent per year He goes that doesn't that doesn't equate to the the limiting Purchasing power the dollar actually gives you and the inflation that it actually comes for so again What brian brux just said is totally true and the last thing I want you to really think about what he's going to say about here because this isn't a political channel But it's all It's all connected So take a listen to what he's going to say here about super tuesday If you don't know what super tuesday is here in the united states, uh, it's midterm elections for the house in the senate Uh democrats and republicans and uh, we vote uh for that every two years and of course right now It's uh, it's the democrat control, but they're probably gonna lose a lot of seats as things come over So what does that mean? That means that people are gonna try to save their seats and they're gonna go to what the people actually want This is the only time that politicians in my personal opinion really listen to people is when they're about to lose their seats So just take a listen to this Let me mute myself That are very anti-crypto But most of the rest of the senators are less anti-crypto than you might have thought and that's a lot better than we would have been Three or four years ago. So progress is being made. So do you think come november? there's a strong likelihood of Either the senate or the con you know one one of the house the house of the senate may switch right may go From blue to red. Yeah You think that the rhetoric towards and congress's position towards crypto may get more crypto friendly from that No question about it. I mean, I mean if you just take a look for example at the most important pieces of crypto legislation They're either bipartisan or they're republican There aren't very many pieces of crypto legislation that are democratically sponsored that that are positive frameworks So you have pat to me stablecoin bill the other day That will get past a republican senate, you know, and I would say republicans are 55 45 likely to take the senate They're a hundred percent likely to take the house. So so the real question is not will they get a house the questions? Will they get the whole yeah, they get the whole congress You'll see you see you'll see bills start to get passed and the question is Will president Biden veto those bills or not and my guess is not and that's because of all the people of bitcoin Miami There are too many of us who want this that once there's political tailwind you really can't stop it I completely agree. I think once you start getting if it goes up to the president He's going to see people want it and if and if he wants to try to win again He's going to need to be like, okay, you know, I may not I may not like this I may not want to do this But politically It's something I need to do or i'm going to lose all that vote So yeah, so why do I why do I share this information with you? Why do I talk about this because it is it is the story behind the story, right for the technical people out there that Take a look at the charts smart people out there. I mean charting ta stuff works I wasn't a big fan of it before but yeah I mean for price action, but if we're looking at the the grander scheme of things and and looking things out We can just say that yes, there is some good news on the horizon Yes, there are some certain dates to actually look forward to because in all honesty If if we if you aren't aware of the macro situation of what's going on in the crypto space What the heck are we doing here for so that is just that one part as far as like looking into the dates Now what I want to talk to you about Actually, I don't want to talk about have Crypto Casey tell you she did a fantastic video and It's the same thing that I talk about on this channel But she did a little bit more in depth numbers and research and this is about Again, it's about a minute and a half and I will I will link this I've already linked this video in the description underneath this video You can watch the whole video it's like 27 minutes, but just take a listen to what she has to say and actually be before she even We haven't talked to that I did put out this poll and Before you listen to her, I just would like to know where you're at personally In this whole cycle. So I put this out about an hour ago two hours ago Well, an hour and a half. I said, how do you see the crypto market in its current state? Is it a is an opportunity? Are you is there you're hurt and broke? You just don't really care I can tell you like the opportunity and grants only about a thousand people, but I mean massive opportunity about 50 percent. It's almost I mean 58 55 54 I have somewhere around there. It's almost almost a half an half almost a 60 40 split And that surprises me and I think I understand why because people are like, you know what I bought here The price is now here I need to get out And you can do it's up to you. You can do that. I'm not here to tell you which way to go It's you are the you're the smart one, right? It's like Peter Lynch said Everybody has the brain power to be into investing the questions They have the stomach for it and that's really what it comes down to So I once when I drop a little bit of knowledge and I have crypto casey talk to you about a minute and a half or so Right here. Actually, let me There's one thing about this this uh software I use I really wish they fixed this part is uh For me to get the best audio I need to Do this every single time. Let me mute my mute myself to listen to listen to casey. This is great stuff So now let's check out some historical price data from the most recent bear in bull cycles And compare the results of implementing a gca or dollar cost averaging strategy of $10 per day Which works out to about $300 per month during the bear versus bull market The last crypto bear market started in january of 2018 and lasted until around september of 2020 Investing $10 in crypto per day during this time period would have resulted in a total investment of about $10,040 the current bull market started around october 2020 And though we've had choppy sideways movement the past few months We are still experiencing some higher highs and lower lows So there hasn't been any clear indication of a flip to a bear market yet Investing $10 a crypto per day during this time period would have resulted in a total investment of about $5,730 Sweet. So I pulled historical price data for both time periods to compare gains for bitcoin versus ethereum and versus douche Using the price data, I calculated the total amount of each crypto A $10 investment would have gotten you at its specific price on that particular day For each separate time period the bear versus the bull cycle Then I calculated what the value of the total amount of the crypto you would have Accumulated during the time period equates to today. Let's start with bitcoin If you had bought $10 worth of bitcoin every day from october 1st 2020 through this week during this bull cycle You would have accumulated about 0.1676 bitcoin, which at the time of this video is worth $6,478 So from your total investment over that time period of $5,730 You would have made $748 which works out to about a 13 game Now if you had bought $10 worth of bitcoin every day from january 1st 2018 through september 30th 2020 during the last bear market You would have accumulated about 1.4235 bitcoin, which at the time of this video is worth $55,021 So from your total investment over that time period of $10,040 You would have made $44,981 which works out to about a 448 game So to listen to the because that's just bitcoin Okay To listen to the rest of it where she talks about ethereum and dogecoin either your own math and you can see it Uh, the the video is linked in this in this description. It's at the very very top So it's about 27 minutes. There's a lot of affiliate links Casey is going after my title of shill king, but they're all great It's like it's like safe stuff. It's like coinbase and stuff like that But it's a great video and what it really brings home to i'm gonna i'm gonna show this actually with a lot of my friends who don't Agree with my stance, which is this The bull market is not where you make all the money. Let me say that again The bull market is not where you make all your money. It's not where I made all my money The bear market is where I made all my money. I can't tell you you the bear market Is where I made all my money all that time that things were were chopping sideways and nobody believed it was coming back Because just like they thought in 2014 after 2013 run up. It's dead The same thing was said in 2018 after 2017 run up. It's dead And it's the same thing they're talking about right now. It's dead Well, every single cycle or everything every single moment that comes through is that you can get a lot of crypto For not a lot of money in the bear market and you can't do that in the bull market And that's just how it is. So Watch that video if you're still unsure watch it three more times and that's pretty much it So let me know what you think about that in the comment section and let's finish up this video because we're going a little bit long today Um We'll talk about dgem, but also if you want to do your own analysis quick dca There is let me stop this. Let me share my screen There is a website and it's one I use quite a bit actually It's just dca btc.com and you can put in all the parameters that you want to how much you want to You know put in there 10 bucks 20 bucks You can do a weekly monthly or daily and just gives you what your gains will be over time and you can compare it actually to Let's see. I think it's gold Yeah, you can hear it to gold and to the dollar. So just something to uh, think about anyhow Let me think about that in the comment section dca btc dca btc.com and let's go over the last part The dgen stuff, which is what people seem to love. Which is this? Uh, this is gambling that I am gambling And uh everything that I say about on this channel that I'm going to talk about right now Is just expect to lose everything because these are just pure gambles and it's just something that entertains me because Why not? This is I've I've got a little bit of cash on the side might as well do something like this and uh You can actually follow all these dgen because I I used to call that dan clips Which is all the clips in my video But I'm like this is stupid because everybody just watches me on on here while I clip it up So I made this into my risky channel And I went away from the clips and all that I've been doing right now. Well for the most part Is reviewing let me blow this up so you can see it reviewing projects that haven't even listed yet So it's super super super risky And we evaluated against a key sheet that was in december We evaluated everdome and we evaluated fam mma fame mma and you can find this spreadsheet In actually all of my videos There is a link in the description. There's my big head and if you scroll down Right here under strategies D gen plays you can click on that and it'll take you right to this spreadsheet And you can always find it won't take it down and so far with the gensokishi worked out pretty well We bought it at a fraction of a penny or a lot about a penny And now it's about a buck and we got 333,000 tokens great everdome Fraction of a penny got 200,000 now it's worth four cents fame mma. Now we've got it was at a penny We got 100,000 tokens now it's at 49 cents, which is pretty good in two weeks. I mean honestly, but again, uh, these are just We did the we did the evaluation did the research. This is what comes out Am I gonna fail at some point and and not give you a good one prop probably Can you potentially lose everything? Yes, absolutely So this is not a best one advice and that is it and also I need to make this super clear That is do not come back at me when you're like, hey I got into this project Because you reviewed it like fame mma, right fame mma. I reviewed it two weeks ago You could have bought it for a dime a penny or whatever you want to get because it was listed And it's gonna be listed on pancakes 12th on may 5th. Don't come to me and go. Hey, bro Yeah, I sold my house and I bought all fame mma and I went from five bucks or down to two bucks. So where's my money? Look man Lady whatever. That's not my job. My job is just to bring it to you and you decide right right now at this point You're seriously in profit would listen and that's all I can tell you anyhow A little update on this one is that Um There was we were talking about the utility. What's great about fame is that they use a bunch of influencers to fight and this is in the Poland and they're branching out from the parts of the eu so all these people that are are um Our influencers youtubers tiktokers in the eu. I don't have them honestly But it makes a lot of sense to me because it's just built-in marketing But on that video the deep dive which you can find over at dan d gen and you can find If you want to look for you can just put in digitalized a new d gen or even go in the the link. There's the there's the the link to the videos But I had hinted that there was a game Play to earn game and the first one was kind of goofy. I didn't really like it It just was the same goofy graphics you get on a basic Play to earn game But they just dropped this video And they're showing you the graphics of their fighting game This is their play to earn fighting game and they and they connected with meta hero Which I never got into because I didn't understand it because stupid But I mean, I'm not gonna hit them all but meta hero. They scanned all their fighters Especially for the the new one coming up and these are the graphics. Can you I can Darn you're not tell a difference between the game footage From Well, I can kind of tell there like I look kind of rubbery, but I mean But you see I'm getting at right That's great graphic. That's like PlayStation 4 graphics And that's gonna be a play to earn game I don't know when it's gonna drop, but that's the early footage. So, uh, that's all we got. So look That's It a nutshell So, uh, I hope you like today's video on a sunday. It was pretty good. I was surprised you're all here So thanks so much for stopping by appreciate it like today's video Give a thumbs up if not give a thumbs down. Just tell me why I try to fix it And that's it. So if you're if you got to go, it's cool It's been 32 minutes, but if you want to stick around for some five questions in five minutes We'll do a little Q&A. Let's jump in, huh? Hide Dad bought him out of my game. That's good Okay, and every time I ask for questions, hey Chrissy didn't I haven't seen For a while Dogecoin is still sitting on 13 cents not as moved much with all the downs Elon is something up in neural link mine. Yeah I got it between us. I bought a little bit of Dogecoin because the only reason is because Well, you know, I must bought twitter and he's he's in love with dogecoin for whatever reason So I'm like, well, I'll just buy a little bit. Did I buy a thousand dollars worth of it? No Should I buy like 500 bucks? No, just let loading that just a little bit just to get some exposure. Why not? Not gonna kill me if I get a little bit Biggie crypto Right-hand man, uh, not let's see how it goes. Tony. That's right Uh, not selling your link. Hey good. I still have some degenerates. Yes. Sorry the own so digital asset news D gen stands for degenerates These are degenerate plays and I named it that specifically actually I put it on twitter see what people wanted me to To name it. I actually won and I thought it was kind of a dumb It was a it was a dumb title. It was a dumb, uh naming of the channel But what I did like about it was it made a crystal clear that these are super risky plays and I like that part because They're risk. So just expect to lose everything if you're gonna invest in those so far so good, but you never know, right? Good question. Are these dj and products open to us resident? Different ones are open and some are not so I try to pick the ones that are actually open to the u.s. Residents and go from there, but again, it's it's all up to you because Right now we're in a gray area and it's the same thing with taxation here in the united states Would you are you reporting your? Your staking Assets the ones that have actually grown like if you've if you state cardano, let's say that you got 10 cardano for the year Are you claiming that on your taxes as? As a gain because it's up in the air. It's like a gray area. So are you doing that? Well One cpa will say yes and one cpa will say no and and I can't give you the advice I'm on a cpa. So the same thing over here, you know, is this is this what it is or do you not want to it's up to you And uh, that's it. I used to what I did. I did it Exactly, where's my lambo? Ah Shane link at rock bottom everything's a rock bottom. I'm not you know what? I listened to ben or in the cryptiverse and james had the best answers They were talking about how the the bottom's probably not in and they talk about volume And they made a compelling point Usually like with when you hit this brick wall as they said and the volume starts to really spike up That's when you kind of tell that things may be bottoming out And we haven't seen that yet. So that's kind of scary and also like we just talked about There's two things The fed reserve and their dates Those are times that I think we could go Go down Each each each around each one of those areas and not really come back up For a while and then also on super tuesday when When they vote these politicians in they don't take office immediately. So it actually flips over to the next Believe in next year january 6 7 somewhere on there is when they start to take office. So even when they vote them in These people still stick around You know lame ducks and then they take office and then they start writing all the all the bills So again, which way how do you think of it? Is it's is this a mat like like we just talked about this is a massive opportunity Or is this like hey bro. I'm broke or hey, I don't really even care. It's a it's it's it's all how you look at it Alrighty Hey, good question. We think of slanted network being down again. It's in beta. It's in beta It's all I can tell you and you know what it does pain me to say that because I actually hold solana I actually also hold avalanche and I hold cardona hold a lot of cardona And I hold a lot of luna so like every time of these things don't work out It pains me to even report on them or even talk about I'm talking about all about that on twitter I gotta tell you you know who loves that solana Just had a little issue is everybody who owns cardona And that's just the truth And then outside of that the solana people are like it's not even it's just a degradation of performance It's not even a shutdown. I don't really care. What really matters to me is like, what's the price doing? How are they building out? How are things progressing? It's all I really care about Yeah, you can call me dan. I don't really care. My name is where my real name is rock, but dan's good enough You know what? Yeah, I gotta tell you I do try to invest in the people and Look, I know people are not too happy with the especially like and here's another example of why not to listen to me Because Ike said a voyager talk was gonna go at 30 bucks. Remember those days It was at 29 cents on december 7th 2021 And uh, I said it's going to 30 bucks and it went up to Actually went up to seven dollars, which is pretty good for then it crashed right back down And I still said it's going 30 bucks and did not So don't listen to me because rob's been wrong plenty of times. That's my wife So for this one, do I still believe in voyager? Yes, I do. I had steve on the show I just listened to him and uh, brian brooks talk it out Yeah, I do and I think they can do a lot of great things The question is is the price going to move and price can move if they do a couple of things First of all, they have to nail that voyager loyalty program 2.0 The second thing they have to do is they have to actually push into the e.u Because they already did the merger with lgo with that's a french crypto exchange The problem is getting everything to actually expand out The third thing they need to do just to give them credibility is that stupid bit license in new york And also move into canada. They do those things things to start to move if they don't Not a big it'll probably just flounder. That's what it is Ah Oh Phantom mining. This is a great way to say it rob. I'm getting slaughtered out here down negative 6000 in chiva 1000 of voyager at one with the blood shed in not for a while I don't think so phantom mining. I feel your pain. I remember so check this out 2018 there I was And my portfolio drops like 60 70 percent. I can just tell you right now It was a good six-figure number and that was the not too happy And it's it's all relative, right? It doesn't matter six figures or two figures It's still you're down and it still hurts and it still sucks So for me, I just look said to myself. I said to my wife I'm not in the business of losing money and I think it's going to come back I think there's good things on the horizon. All they have to do is just do this thing called dollar cost average I don't really understand it right now, but I'll figure it out Worked out okay, and again just like we talked about so again Phantom, I feel your pain because I have been there and I know it sucks I know it's not what you want to be because you were sold a bill of goods by all the hope even channels Even me. I haven't got ahead of myself. I'll try to do that again Where we said bitcoin doing 150k. No, maybe 100k. Maybe 80k didn't even hit that 69k So as we move forward we just have to say, you know what? That's what happened Here's where we're at right now We need to move forward now. How are we going to move forward? That's the big question And for me, just keep buying buying away and just taking picking my spots I am going to actually start to uh, I do dollar cost average every day the same things. It's bitcoin, ethereum, luna My little salana and cosmos I think i'm going to actually start to do not decrease But look at those fed reserve dates like I just told you to do and actually hold off for a couple days before that actually happens I think I could make a killing uh as when this thing turns around. All right Uh fats 0.75 basis points. What do you think it's gonna be between 0.5 and 0.75? I will bet you a round of beers Good beers Not the junky ones. I usually drink. All right And Hey, touch me live. Thanks you Uh, did I miss anything? I just Daniel, I just talked about cardano. I want a bunch of it I just don't keep dollar cost averaging I think I will sell dollar cost avenue because it's like 30 cents But it's just so hard these days because like I was buying at seven eight cents and a lot of it So right now it's not so much. You know, it's not that i'm not a believer, but they got to show me something And if in If you're in a project where you get ridiculed for For any kind of uh contempt or questioning of the project get rid of that project get out of that project So if I say it's a cardano, you guys got to show me something. They got to show me something. Let's uh, I mean They don't owe me anything. I don't owe them anything. So uh once we I mean Zk robes be nice We know as I know they've uh expanded the block size. That's good But also as far as like tps transaction per second, we talk about hydra Million transaction per second if they can do that. Hey, I'm the biggest cheerleader ever you ever you ever found Right, just got to do it. That's it All right, what was this? Oh Uh, all dependent if you're talking about fame may it was listed on okx There's a new listing coming up and it's not pancake swap. I know what it is. Just can't tell you guys. I'm very sorry No, so there's a good question rob. What are you gonna have michael sale on your channel? Come on. You gotta keep up with James Benz so I wasn't a michael sailor I do I like michael That guy Just he's just beyond me, you know, he's just the things he talks about. They're just great points or anything else I just I'm not gonna have him on the channel. I like him, but just he's just he's just beyond me That's all I can say Uh, let's see and I think that's it guys. I mean we're going at 42 minutes here Hey, chewy JD says to stop the beta excuses real money. They're playing with it's true I mean, I'm not saying that I'm not saying that that excuses the action I just say it's in beta and then you got to decide do I want to risk it in beta Or do I want to wait till it's actually a full product the problem is we wait till a full product Sometimes those games are gone. However, a lot of games being made but it's super risky and that's what's up And I think Holy smokes, man. I missed a lot of questions Ah, last question. Let's me up in london. Sure. Let's leave in one. I mean me and the wife are leaving for london tomorrow afternoon be there Tuesday, Wednesday, I don't tuesday and I'll be there for uh guys event coin bureau get to speak on uh On it's not what you make. It's what you keep. That's what the the The speech is about so catch me over there. I think that The event is actually already sold out. Sorry. I didn't run it. That's it But I'll let you know so that's what's going on. So everybody, uh, thanks so much for stopping by It's amazing on a sunday.
