 Welcome to Digital Asset News. My name is Rob and today I want to talk about is a big giveaway. I want to start this year off right because let's be honest, 2022 was just downright awful. So when I get everything on the right foot, I want to give you guys a bunch of things that lead you to success and I want to do it in a very productive way. So we're going to talk about the giveaway itself and some of the things that are going on right around this time in the Digital Asset News universe. So first things first, everybody happy new year. Let's be honest, we had a rough, rough last year, but I think there's going to be better times ahead. It's just if you're still here, you're definitely not a tourist and it's going to take some time, but I think over the long haul will be okay. It really just comes down to, you know, how long you can stick around and how long you can deal with all this nonsense that's going on and to kick off everything. We just want to start fresh, especially, of course, with this year and in that vein of talking things, we all want to start fresh, even myself. So starting Thursday, January 5th, we'll be doing a live stream and it'll be me, Guy and Ben from the Cryptiverse and Guy from Coin Bureau and it'll be every Thursday just talking about the things that are going on the crypto market and the things that we see and where things are potentially going. So look out for more information about that, we'll start fresh and we'll do things new. So on top of that, what's this mean for you? Well, this means for you is I want to give away a bunch of stuff and what I did over the last month, month and a half, I've been contacting all the people that I usually work with and I said, look, I'm going to do this giveaway and because everybody's big in a new year's resolutions, let's start giving away free stuff for people who walk and it's a very simple thing. So we're going to use the Sweatcoin app and it's very simple. I want you to download this free app. I want you to walk in the top 30s who actually who have the most steps will win. It's very simple and even if you don't win, no big deal, you still get the app for free and it's going to pay you in these sweat tokens for free. So here's how it all works today, say January 1st, right? It's my memory service, right? So again, download, walk, win. It's very simple. Here's all the prizes and again, I want to say thanks for all the sponsors who gave up a lot of time and effort to make this actually happen. So if you're at first place, you're looking at a thousand Sweatcoins and we're going to go over all these things in detail in a bit. You get a Ledger Nano X, Lifetime Token Metrics membership, a Coin Ledger premium membership, a 10 cent premium subscription and a one shield folio stone book. Second place, 500 Sweatcoins, pretty much everything the same, except you're going to get a six month premium membership into the Cryptoverse app, which is what I use all the time and steal all of Ben's information. Third place, you're going to get all that stuff plus actually an Arculus cold storage device. Fourth place, everything except a little bit less Sweatcoins and you're going to get 2,000 Meld tokens and a Meld Bank Manager NFT. I'll talk about those things. Fifth place, pretty much the same thing, a little bit less, plus a ladies NFT and then six through 10, the same type of thing, but we're going to do random drawings for the Meld Bank Manager, but you are going to get a thousand Meld tokens. Everybody's six through 10, you're going to get one ladies NFT, more things, a tumbler for my trust, a little less tokens from the 21 through 30th place. For some reason, I had this twice. I needed to delete one of those. Again, walking is man's best medicine. If you want to get in shape, I mean, you can do all the things that people will tell you, hit and go to the gym and join the gym and be there for 30 days and then let your gym membership lapse because you don't go back again. It's true. It's what's going to happen. We're going to start walking. That's the easiest. That's what's kept me in shape. Look, I'm pushing 50 and I feel fine. The reason for that is because I had two great dogs and I would give them a walk every single day, about an hour or so. I think that's what keeps people in shape just walking around. Here's December's winners. Again, usually what we do is we just, the top 10, they get 50 sweat coins every single month. This is what you're looking at. 400,000 to about 250,000 steps was the top 10. Now, below that, you're going to like 30,000, 50,000 steps. If you can do that per day, I mean, a thousand steps a day, you might be at the top 30, just saying. Also, this website, there's a link in the description. You can find it. Let's see. Yeah, Dan giveaway website list, this very top one right here, which we'll take you to this part here. There's a great video. And this gentleman here is a, he's a fitness coach. And he just talks about how he gets shredded just by walking. And this is where I got the idea to do this. Here's the deep dive to the sweat, sweat coin app or sweat coins and why I believe in it. And then here's some frequent last question. Is it free to enter? Yes, download it right here. What are the dates? January 1st, 31st. But Rob, this is a big question I'm going to keep getting. So I'm just going to answer it here. But Rob, nothing's free. If the app is free, then I'm the product, right? Yeah, that's how it works. So I'm just going to just say it like this. Are you here on YouTube? Did you see an ad? Do you think they're not tracking you? Oh, but Rob, Rob, no, no, I have a VPN and I have the ad blockers off. Trust me, they're still tracking you in some way, shape, or form. So like when people say, well, why is it free? It's because when you download it, you're going to see advertisements and things like that. Yes, it's how it works. So in these types of things, you don't have to do this. You don't have to get on top of it. But this is just what it is. And then lastly, it says right here, well, what about my privacy, Rob? Aren't they going to sell my data? I'm still waiting for my check from Facebook. And I said, again, first of all, using a social media platform, you're probably getting tracked in some way, shape, or form. But Oleg, the CEO, or CEO, talked to, did we did a deep dive video, which you can watch right here. And he answers that specific question. He says they don't, terms of conditions say they don't. So again, you don't want to do it, don't download it, but here's what we got up for grabs. So first things first, Sweatcoin app, if you haven't noticed, it's one of the most downloaded apps in 2020. It's got over, it hit 100 million lifetime users in early June after tripling its monthly downloads. That's not why you're here though, right? While you're here is there's a link in the description. And it looks going to scroll down a little bit. Right here, Sweatcoin app, click on this link, Sweatcoin, you're going to go there, you're going to step the invite, you're going to click on the app store, I mean, for, for Android or for Apple. And then from there, just, you know, 5,000 different, actually almost, yeah, over 5,000 Sweatcoins are up for grab, which isn't much, because right now it's only a penny, but who knows what it could be in the bull run, just saying. Also ledgers up for, for grabs, those are 165 bucks a piece. And also token metrics, everybody's talking about AI, artificial intelligence, but this one, token metrics uses AI type of information to calculate where the market's going. Now, for a premium membership, it's 300 bucks a month. And we're giving away a lifetime membership if you win first place. But you know, hey, you might not do that. Also, I trust capital, they're giving away the tumblers. Again, if you're looking for a Roth IRA coin ledger, they are, they're giving away 10 free premiums. So if you do this, first of all, you can sign up for coin ledger right now for free and do a tracking of your portfolios. You can see gains and loss and all those things. But if you want to do taxes, which I've been using two years straight, if you go over to pricing, just to generate the report, which is what I've done, it's 300 bucks for unlimited transactions. So this might be for you because you're going to get a free, a total one. Also, 10 cent gave us two of their subscription base. Now 10 cent, if you don't know, they are a launch pad. And they have launched some small little projects, which I've talked about on the show. Satoshi Island, I never got a chance to have, I always talked about that was cool. But if you can see right here, it says all time high sense launch 2000% since it launched fame. We were a part of that one. And the all time high sense launch was 30,000%. Everdome, I kind of got into it, but we talked a little bit about it, 94% since launch and then met a hero, Kanga 16,000%. The whole thing about this is it doesn't matter if you like these products or not, I'm just telling you this is how much is done. And to get into these products to be able to be whitelisted to actually invest into them, you have to subscribe. So that seems pretty simple, right? You just subscribe and that's it? Well, not so, because when you click on subscribe, it's going to say here, here's your subscription and it's open. All you got to do is lock 5,010 cent tokens and again, a year subscription. So you can be a part of investing in other projects, which did pretty well. And just so you know, right now, 10 set is roughly about 50 cents. So that's like 2,500 bucks. If you wanted to get into that program in the bear market, and they're giving away two of those for the giveaway. Also shield folio, I love this thing, get to put in all your mnemonic phrases and everything else and keep it safe. I've got three now, two or three. And I keep everything in there. It's water, water resistant, tear resistant, it's not fire resistant. So be careful with that. But this is where I keep all my mnemonic phrases all in one place because I lost my mnemonic phrase from my Cardano deadless wallet in the test phase. And now I kissed 20,000 Cardano goodbye down the tube. And at the all time high, you know, I wish that was worth 60,000 bucks. Epic Arts, you're gonna get an art on your wall, three of those Arculus, which they were nice enough to send me, send me a demo. So we're gonna give away two of those. This one's pretty cool because you can actually do all the things with like, it's a cold storage device, and you just need the card to send, to send your crypto and back it up, not back it up, but crypto wallet. I'll do a big deep dive. You know, the Cryptoverse, they've got their charts, and this is where I steal all my data from. Look, I got to tell you, there's very few places that are better than Ben's website. It's got everything you want to need. And this is the big one, this one called risk. I'm not going to show it. So nobody, everybody calm down. Everybody got up in arms when I showed it last time. They're like, well, Rob, you know, we paid for that. Well, all right, I get it. But anyhow, risk, log in regression, ROI, moving averages, and even like, this is what I really like, the macro charts, prices and inflation. I mean, everything you want to do, and then this is the social media charts. Anyhow, that is the one about the risk. That's a linchpin to my, what I'm going to do with the next bull run whenever the heck that happens. And that risk value, that's what I'm using as I guess, as I would say, a linchpin for all the different data points that I'm looking at, which includes MVRBZ, well, multiple reserve risk, PyCycleTop and UPL time and risk, this one right here. This is the one I'll be looking at. And it's only on Ben's site that I can find it. So we're giving away three premium memberships for six months. Also, ladies NFTs. This is a pretty cool project. I'm not a big NFT person. I love these guys. I love these guys. They're part of the DsNuts crew. I just love them. So ladies, the team behind the projects is fully doxxed. You know who the heck they are. We got seven plus years of experience in art design and game development over 300 million game downloads. Team has worked on Assassin's Creed, Cyberpunk 2777, The Witcher, Halo, bunch of stuff, bunch of games on on planks. I'm old. And what the NFT is going to do is a play-to-earn game and they're going to give away $500 per day. We'll be given out for that type of thing. So check that out. And then lastly, and this is a big one, I didn't realize how big these guys had gotten, Melt. So Melt, we did a deep dive. And I linked the deep dive video in the description. And it was me and Ken just talking and somebody had connected us. And I was like, Oh, it's a good project. You know, it looks like this is over a year ago and nothing really happened with them. You know, they just never, nothing did. I reached out to Ken Oleg, the CEO. And I said, Hey, man, you want to part of this giveaway? He's like, Yeah, he goes, Have you seen what we've been doing? And I said, Yeah, I've got the emails. It's great. It looks like you guys are building. He's like, Yeah, let's talk. We're supposed to have a 15 minute meeting with what we talked for over two hours. And I finagled him to give away 20,000 Meld tokens and also the NFT banker and NFT. But that's not the big story. The big story is this. First of all, what's melt. It's very simple. It's a DeFi project. It's not a CeFi. Who screwed us in 2022? CeFi screwed us. DeFi did just fine. So it's a DeFi protocol for loans, get your cash, earn yields on your crypto while it's in there to pay off the loan. Like I called it, it's a DeFi protocol or loan protocol that pays itself off. You pay back the loan, things that are left over, and you earn all the time. And before I was like, Oh, but what about, you know, not your keys, not your crypto, you get a loan and keep your keys. Again, who screwed us in 2022? CeFi, not DeFi. And that's what they're that's what they're moving forward to. And then so they give away 20,000 of those Meld tokens, which aren't worth much now, but they're going to be, I think. And then you're going to get a bank manager NFT. We're going to give away three of those. What did that was that do? You get to boost your APY, lower interest, early access, because what's the early access to? A bank. They're going to become a Neobank. Actually, let me just show you that first. That's the most appealing thing. Ah, where'd it go? So Meld is, becomes an EMI to bring fiat encrypted to the masses by becoming essentially a Neobank. What is that? I'll give you that a second. Let me just tell you this. This is what's been happening the last 30 days with them. They got a partnership with Avalanche. They got a partnership with MultiChain so you can roll across from different bridges. That's the only one they're going to need as far as EVM, the Ethereum virtual machine. They've got a partnership with Arculus, which is they're going to be able to give you your Meld debit card because they're going to become one of these Neobanks. There's a partnership with Cornucopius. I like these guys too. Now, these two gentlemen here, it's a good game. It's actually got a working project on Cardano. And then this is what I'm trying to do. They're going to be a Neobank. What the heck is that? First of all, what's an EMI? What's Meld? Why are they attaining this? An EMI is an Electronic Money Institute or Neobank. It's usually a FinTech startup that operates on a more limited license than a traditional bank. So it's not really a bank bank, traditionally wise, but how is it different? It's a great question. Here's how it's different. Have you ever heard of fractional reserve banking? I bet you have, especially if you're in crypto. So traditional banks offer fractional reserve banking. They take your money, keep your fraction, try their job. Will they invest? Well, 2008, they didn't do so hot. So how does an EMI use your deposits? With some variation, you can deposit in a savings account or spend it from a checking account, and they don't do fractional reserve banking. The key is that depositors are often backed by a full reserve. The key is that deposits are yours. Often backed by a full reserve and depending on the jurisdiction, they are insured as well. And what Meld just did is they got an EMI, or as a Neobank, in 146 countries. Because Neobanks don't offer the same debt tools as traditional banks, they typically focus on moving money for customers. That's all I really wanted my banks anyhow. One of the primary value propositions of a Neobank is convenience. That's what they want. That's what I want. A number of Neobanks is exploded. And here's just a few, like Chime. And Chime, you can see is this. This is a Neobank, essentially. It's not a physical location. Those are dying anyhow. All they do is they store your money and they move it around. Now, depending on the jurisdiction, depending on what's on the EU in the United States, it's FDIC insured or whatever it is in the EU. I don't know. I'm going to get Ken on and we're going to talk about that because that's a big thing moving forward. So yes, these guys are doing pretty big things. And here's just a more in-depth detail of what's happening. So that's that. So that is the giveaway. And I know some people are going to love this stuff and some people are not. I understand because some people don't. They're like, you know, it's walking or whatever else. But I just want to start off with Wright on 2023 and just get everybody's just stepping the right foot. Look, it's good to be in shape. It's good to do these things. It's good for your mental health. And also what's really good is you get free stuff. So who likes that? And yeah, that's it for today. So look, if you like today's video, give it a thumbs up, consider subscribing. All things to talk about time sensitive. Mostly what we do is news, but it's a little bit different today. And that's it. So thanks so much. Now let's get into your questions. So if you have questions, start writing them down or typing them in the chat and I'll answer those the best of my abilities. And that's it for today. You got to go take off. Thank you so much. See you guys in the next one. Let's go into the questions.
