 Great one visual asset news to get top stories and crypto and bring them down to bite-sized pieces So today just as the thumbnail suggests I think this is a pretty big day for what exactly is going on because Stripe one of the biggest payment processors in the globe is not coming forward and saying hey, you know what? Let's get on to the crypto bandwagon So I'm gonna talk to you just about how big that potentially could be Stripe and accepting payments worldwide globally in 180 plus countries in like over a hundred different countries cryptocurrencies, I think it might be something also we're gonna take a look at ETH 2.0 stake not WTH Stakes, but Luna is really the will the real winner so far We take a look at total value locked and how much is actually being staked them We're gonna go just a little smorgasbord of crypto world moves We're gonna talk about Binance and how they're really just becoming a global dominator We'll take a look at India what they want to do as far as their CBDC plans Which I think kind of ridiculous and then lastly we'll take a look at Elron Yes, no wrong and then at the end of the show. We'll just do five quick questions in five minutes So hold your questions till the end and then we'll go from there So today's a little bit a little bit rush. I'm trying to put things together. Make sure everybody can hear me It looks good. Great fantastic Let's jump into first of all the market and also if you're you know here for the fly stream Thanks if you're watching the replay just know that there are timestamps underneath so you can skip ahead and forward All that good stuff also looking for great information. Go to Dan teachers crypto.com. It's 100% free. All right Let's jump into it for what it is and that's what someone so I want to show you but Just so you know, I've got a second microphone. So what I'm gonna start doing is actually some in-house Interviews so let me know who you'd like me to have Interviewed here. Hopefully they live in Puerto Rico and I'll make that happen. So without further ado the market I'm just gonna skim over this because guess what you look at your portfolio a thousand times a day This was from yesterday. So I don't know what it is. Let's refresh it and see what we're at 1.8 30 And hey 0.7% that's pretty good. I'll take a little bit of when I thought I was actually going down But yeah, all right bitcoins up everything's up a little bit. Maybe some some good news It's a funny thing in crypto because you know, we could have about a thousand Great pieces of news and then one person in one far off continent will say something goofy and I'll just go down It's a very fragile market. I think and there's a lot of manipulation and whales out there So just be careful and you know, really what it comes down to if you don't want to do 50 or 100x leverage plays There's other things to do not a vestment of ice, but my opinion is I'm not gonna go 100x leverage That's just me just being crazy, but polka dots the big winner today up 7% 4% Okay, that's what's going on. Who really cares? Let's jump in today's top story I could really care less about the market. So this is what we got today so this I found to be fascinating and I had heard about this like late last night. I didn't really pay much attention. I'm like a stripe whatever but then you know When PayPal came out and said we're gonna start we're gonna accept crypto and it was around that same time that Tesla guy And it was like a double effect and all of a sudden we just boom market took off now We've got a lot of macro factors going on. I don't think this is gonna be the impetus But I do think that this moving forward is huge and it's really comes down to the first couple of sentences of What is going on this article? Because I didn't really realize this. So this will happen Stripe the company announced a suite of products today aiming to give customers access to tools and APIs that make it easier for customers to buy and Store crypto tokens cash out trade NFTs and handle compliance workflows like KYC or no your customer Stripe supports page notes of the company's products will enable support for customers to buy that more than a hundred and thirty five Plus cryptos with fiat in 180 countries, I don't need to say that again. I think you got it Stripe has a complicated relationship with crypto users over the years ending Bitcoin support in 2018 Calling Bitcoin less useful as a payments means after initially supporting the crypto in 2014 So they were one of the first and now here we are again So you might be ask yourself who cares who's stripe and why should I give a damn and really if you take a look at stripe? This was a good article by Brian Dean Cover 14 21. It's not too long ago. So we take a look at the key stripe statistics Stripe is valued at 94 billion dollars. Sure great, but currently it has 3.1 million Active websites use stripe 3.1 I have all my websites use stripe because we you integrate them on the back end They're the one that process all the payments all the mass cards of visa and blah blah and they are kind of like another layer solution So when we have stripe coming out and said hey, we're going to accept Crypto payments globally. This is a bigger deal Then I don't know if people realize just how big this could potentially be so moving on Where is stripe available worldwide stripes available and in business in 46 countries and now we know it's much more Since 2009 stripes expanded to 20 new ones and then this part down here Where to go? Nah, not that one. That's the boring Stripe processing volume growth. So you can see how much has grown in a good five years It went from 10 billion double the 20 billion 50 billion 100 billion 150 billion 350 billion dollars That's a lot of processing power and then if we come back here, not only do they have a lot of processing power and a lot of pull in all these different websites, but also there's a little exchange called FTX Along the news crypto exchange FTX announced that will be partnering with Stripe To improve its identity compliance features and fiat onboarding workflow for users and I was thinking myself Is this real? I mean, is this like really happening? So if you take a look at the stripe website And just go to crypto I linked that in the description if you want to take a look or you can Google it stripe stripe crypto here. It is And you can start doing everything right now. So build your crypto business with Stripe They have been out man. I've even got FTX blockchain and just mining interesting Crypto exchange and on ramps seem like everybody's getting to that wallets. They even got an NFT marketplace That could be something. I don't know some people say that empty is gonna be pretty big So we'll get for business trusted solution except Fiat globally payout effortlessly Identity users company alley lower fraud move carbon effortless Well, look at that And then you just fill this out and they'll have a representative talk to you so this Is pretty darn big and I think it's one of those those instances where It's great news People are gonna hear about it and what they're gonna do is they're gonna say let me take a look at the actual prices Okay, I went up point seven or seven who cares if you look at the big picture about what's going on That is an enormous turnaround for a huge company like that to go Well, you know, we started 2014 2018 didn't really see much traction Now we're gonna get back into it because I think we see where things are going And yeah, let me what you think about that in the comment section I like where things are headed now. Let's turn to everybody's Second favorite topic Ethereum 2.0. So ETH Now has this consensus layer not either 2.0. It's a bit different But this what's going on ETH Ethereum's consensus layer contract hits 10 million state The migration the proof of state consensus appears be progressing. Well, how is we how are we looking at that? Well? 10 million ether staked into the ETH to consensus layer Deposit contract since inception November 4th last year. This figures equivalent to 26 billion. That's pretty good ETH one is now being referred to as the execution layer and the upcoming proof of state blockchain ETH 2 Not a 2.0 now known as the consensus layer. There's some more stuff down here, but not really that interesting Really, which want to do is look at this. There's a website It's called stakingrewards.com and it ranks all the top cryptos and you can you can distinguish this by Market cap you can distinguish it by the total staked But what I want to do is take a look at the staked value of how much is actually You know the money that is rolling in and Tara is number one not by much But it is number one the staked value is 32 billion dollars market cap 37 Billion dollars that's pretty good and then the rewards are 6 percent total stake is 41 percent. However, Solana Even though doesn't have them as much staked value. Look at the total stake for Solana almost 75 percent 75 percent. That's huge ETH 2.0 is only a roughly 8 percent. But look at that staked value 25 billion Cardano 18 billion has been slipping I remember when it was a not in the mid 70s as well Now it's not a 68 percent avalanche is at 50 percent. I will tell you this avalanche would have a heck of a lot more Stakers if Voyager would allow them to take it off of their platform Not complaining But just complaining. Let's see finance chain 81 percent. That's totally central. I nobody cares about that 63% cosmos hub. I will tell you this I own cosmos That's how my friend Jerry Hall a couple days ago If you're looking for some ridiculous yield, which is super dangerous Look at cosmos and all their ecosystem. That's all I'll say to that. You can do your own research But it's pretty insane and he's making crazy money. So that's we have as far as ETH 2.0 staked, but again, I think Luna is the real winner so far. We'll see it all plays out and let's finish this up with The crypto world moves again We can look at news any way we want to right we can take a look at and say well, you know what? This isn't so good or that's great or this is blah blah blah, but in all honesty There's a lot of good news going on in the world and it's all what we want to focus on But does that necessarily mean that it's gonna lead to price appreciation? No Usually a secondary thing, but this I found interesting finance and veils plans for world domination By buying up companies in every single sector. So here's what we got. This was from CZ says we want to identify and CZ CZ thing is the CEO of Binance can't can't escape that guy We want to identify and invest in one or two targets in every economic sector and try to bring them into crypto Said CZ this announcement comes not long after Binance monumental 200 million investments In Forbes in early February and I think it became like the second or third largest stakeholder In Forbes, which is a pretty legacy institution as far as for journalism And I know people will look at that and go why they do that. Well He who controls the narrative Can control the world and I thought it was a very smart way to get into well news Integrate yourself into all things happening As far as what is the information that's being put out there and you'll notice Forbes crypto seems to do a lot more stuff. I'm just saying so that's a pretty good play But this time I did not know Binance grew to an estimated valuation of approximately 300 billion And established CZ ping as the 11th wealthiest man in the world. Let me see that again because I did not know that I don't know if you knew CZ ping the 11th wealthiest man in the world Is the CEO of Binance? Let that sink in for a second. So when you have all the charlie mongers And all the warm buffets and they're saying that it's just awful stuff and and these billionaires like we don't understand because it's It's gonna be the worst thing of all time. Well, guess what? You missed out on a bunch of other stuff. You missed out on amazon. You missed out on google You're gonna miss out on this. It's okay. It's all right. You're gonna be wrong And the people that are wrong the legacy investors Not to take any away from what's what he's done before but you're gonna get passed up And is that like really the the end i'll be all no But it just goes to show you that you know The experts can only tell you what was they cannot tell you what will be and here we have CEO Of a crypto exchange as going to be probably in the top 10 in no time flat So to finish this up While crypto exchanges have previously plastered logos on stadiums and stolen the show of the super bowl Binance acquired things like coin market cap forbs car payment services such as swipe and a bunch of other ones And then just a bunch of other things down here that they talk about a little bit of controversy, but nothing too big So the thing is like this If you look at companies that have uh have grown massively what they do they acquired other companies Take a look at facebook facebook would be irrelevant right now If it wasn't for the fact that it bought up instagram And whatsapp and all the other different social media platforms to stay relevant up to this point amazon wouldn't have done anything If it wouldn't have acquired all those different warehouses and zappos and all different bookstores and things like that Because they just gobble up everything and now you see the same thing with finance they're going to be the big leaders in crypto And at some point it won't be finance And global and finance us it'll just be finance. So let me know anything about that in the comment section Let's finish up with two pieces here. This was from uh, oh, yeah India is gonna come out with their cbdc and what they say here crypto regulatory signs also points upward in india Crypto friendly. This is the thing india finance minister, uh, nirmala sitharaman So that she expected the nation's central bank to launch a cbdc or digital rupee this year Varying from her early statement that it would launch sometime between 2022 and 2023 I just found it interesting that everybody's trying to get to this the cbdc the central bank digital currency You got a digital ruple. You got a digital you on now. You'll have the digital rupee pretty soon this year Here's the question I have for everybody um Our other country's gonna use this I mean in all and I know it's like you're like, well, of course they would but really like Do you think that that america really wants to use the digital you on? And do you think that china or do you think that uh, the uk really wants to use the digital rubble? I just I just don't see how it's gonna work out and then even like us Like do you think china wants to use the digital dollar for a cbdc? There is no way. I think there has to be some type of Massive stablecoin that they can kind of get into and out And that's the only way this is gonna work. I I just don't see it now the the population in general will probably go Yeah, sure. I'll use cbdc because I don't understand how this works And of course, you know, when they get a shutdown, that's that's what it goes down to But I think it all comes out of stablecoins and I think that's why gary genzler is harping on him so much And of course, janet yang which leads me to my last point el ron yeah el ron I don't Here's I don't own a el ron, which is why I don't really talk about el ron too much But after this article, maybe I should so El ron network acquires payments from twist pay When's an e-money license? Why is this important? I think it's hugely important. Check this out El ron network has an approval to issue electronic money by the country's central bank the national bank of romania El ron which recently acquired payments gateway. You trust did not disclose the financial details of the acquisition However, cio minkou said this shows that central banks may be switching from a counterpoint To the crypto space to what I mean more neutral or even potentially favorable point electric money or e-money Is defined as an electric store of monetary value used for making payments to entities other than the e-money issuer And this is where it gets good under european union passport rules The license will allow el ron to operate e-money services across eu iceland lichtenstein and norway And the eu commission's proposed markets and crypto assets regulation or mica stipulates that license e-money institutions will be entitled to issue stablecoins And minkou finally said we've been having focused conversations with the romainian central bank about acquiring an e-money license institution That enables us to create stablecoins in a legal And compliant way. So this is just a message for The sec and the cftc and everybody else that's uh going under the uh, biden administration and the executive order Do this Don't just have people come in and just go thanks coinbase for coming in so we can see the pants off you Have them come in and really talk about like how we can can stay competitive globally before everything passes us by And I think that's really what it comes down to I know people are scared of regulation, but i'm telling you My opinion Out of vice I do think we need a little more regulation Just to get to the point where we know the rules so we don't keep getting sued over and over again And we can work around those rules. Just give me the factor and we'll move from there. That's how I see it Anyhow, that's all I got So let me know what you think about that in the comment section, but that concludes The news part if you want to stick around we'll do a little q and a little five q and a 20 questions in five minutes 20 questions five questions in five minutes and then we'll go from there and before you take off just know that uh, No, that's chewy. Uh, we're going to do the dca show tonight That's at 4 p.m. My time in portorico 3 p.m. Eastern And noon pacific time. So that's in uh 10 11 12 Six hours from now It's me been from into the cryptoverse and jay invest answers and we'll be talking about. Oh, I know what we're talking about probably something Probably Probably where this mark is going. How about that? So we'll do that later on I'll send it out on a tweet. So follow me on twitter and you can get the information quickly And that's it. So thanks for stopping by. Let's do some questions q and a All right right Crypto with and rich. Thanks again. Thank you for showing up. I appreciate it Uh, roberti take uk's actions to ban bitcoin atms Depends on the atm. I got to see what's What it is with that. I I did see some pretty crazy things. There's just things called payday loans here in the united states I don't know if you have them, but if you miss those loan payments It's like 99 or something crazy 130 interest and it's pretty predatory loaning Uh, so I don't know if they're like the atms are like super crazy fees. I know like Pretty damn high, but it does give access to people with bitcoin to get bitcoin, but the fees are ridiculous Um in some places not all of them. So I have to take a look at the whole thing and I'll get back to you when I know More information the question number one James would probably get a conversation to a salana conversation to induce it Maybe I mean look james likes james likes salana. I like salana and and uh, cardano So I don't know the point. I also like bitcoin and gold I don't see the problem Uh This is a great question. What's a good chill place to eat in portorico? If you want some great views this place called sand and sea it's up in the mountains and it's awesome. You can see everything Um, those are the best places. Those are the non-touristy places for harville in the jungles, but uh It's kind of hidden So that's probably the best place or if you want to go on the beach Just go to the the trist and overlook the waves and that's pretty chill Uh But who is charles bronson? I said, uh, charles bronson's richard bronson. It's pretty funny Um, let's see question number two rob speaking of cardano. Have you dabbled in cardano? I have teas yet. Yes I've got cardano combat and some other ones What if I told you one of them gives you passivata? Guess what it's around. I call it bullshit. That's pretty funny. I guess it's not that's just a point that Let's see what this is The whole iran team is from the city of shiba in romania president romania is also from sh. Oh, sorry shiba city thoughts everyone was born When lones became president strange. No, I think it really all comes down to all businesses is just connections That's really what it comes down to so if you have good connections, you'll That's how businesses work Who do you know who can you get attached to and stuff like that? That's it Why does peter shift? I don't know that guy Constantly bash bitcoin went on his website and you go the accepts it as payment method Well, I don't know who that guy is but he sounds super irrelevant. But if if I had to guess uh, it's because he's probably one of those guys who talks about Uh, how the world's going to collapse and only gold will save you even though he probably only invests five percent of his net worth into said gold and puts into other stuff like gold miners Which you know, they sell a bunch of gold those gold miners and uh stocks and whatever else it gets into so I don't know. Uh, probably to keep himself a little relevant. Again, I don't know that guy Questions still buying algo. No, not I got a concern with their I bought a bunch of it was delicose having you for quite some time and I stopped about a week ago or so I've got some concerns about those tokenomics And if you want to watch a great video about that go watch guy over on coin bureau. Uh, this is a great question How can we get family members started in crypto? First of all, don't bombard them with information because they'll just tune you out. That's the first thing. Uh, the second thing is tell them Everybody's different like some people are libertarians. So go to that angle like if they're Really against, you know tyranny just start talking about, you know, the decentralized aspect if they're big into like investing Talk to them about numbers go up. If they're really big into Technology and and how it can save money Talk to them about the cross-border payments and how fast it could be as opposed to swift Really, it's if you're gonna It's all basics marketing, right? You just talk to people where they're Their pain or pleasure points are and go from there. That's it. And I think There's a Oh, here's a great question Question number four. I think how is life in the caribbean? Well, great. Puerto Rico is great I didn't like it too much at first when I first got here, but there's a lot of things that make it awesome Uh, and I did a video on it and it's over at danteachescrypto.com. You can check it out in chapter three Three and just scroll all the way down. You'll find it But I will be also so if you have access to it, you can get it to it right now It's a long one But there's so many things that I screwed up on that I had to tell you all the things that I would do differently and uh, what you could all do alternatively and then also Due to high demand people are like, well, I don't want to sign up for your website even though it's free And I don't want to give you my email. It's fine. I don't care So I'll also be releasing it on saturday morning On youtube so That'll give everybody options, right? No, not everybody wants to be on my website. I can just I get it. It's okay And what I miss Robert says good question Can you transfer funds from a non crypto ira to roth ira at itrust capital? So when I open it up, I didn't have an ira But I know other people have done it But there's a way to do it So the best way to do is as you may know I'm always this thing up here this open a crypto ira for iTrust You know, there's a link in the description I also put them every single at the top of the comments click on that sign up for a 30 minute free Session consultation and talk to a live person I did that twice because I didn't understand what the hell it was Or how it worked and that's because i'm dense So like when you do that it kind of helps you to figure out like oh, this is for me or this isn't for me So do that first before you do anything And this is a good one Questions rob a nice introduction video from you I want anyone for people asking about crypto, you know Go to like on dante just crypto.com. There's this This is chapter one basics. I think it's like the first or second video. I talk about this is You know how I say Uh what crypto is or what bitcoin is and I go from there so I'll show you Wow, just let me just show you Ah, good bad board apes Whoops I'm gonna go there So yeah, just click here start learning and you sudden putting your email and I send you a Ah patrick b from cobec welcome Let's see You can do this. This is all I called the elevator pitch Just say this Bitcoin's digital gold It's scarce and it's market insurance, but unlike all you can send it to anyone within minutes Best performing asset class ever better than gold oil or any stock ever Used to be worth a nickel now. It's worth 10k. So, you know, how long I how long go I said that So it kind of hits everything, right? It scares it's really easy to move the money aspects. I guess I really get the uh The uh libertarian part, but now say something like that and get them rolling And the last thing I will say like this is let them do their own research because They have to it has to be in their head and has to be their idea You can plant the seed but you can't beat it into them because they're like, no And that's all I got Don't confuse robber facts one more. That's true Yeah Yeah, so charles bronson I think was an actor Richard Branson and believe is the virgin capital ceo and then charles manson is a mass murderer Okay, so I think we're all good there. All right. That's it guys. It's been 27 almost 30 minutes But that's all we got. So again, we'll do the dca show tonight and I'll see you guys over there Let me get james and uh and ben in here and that's all so if you like this video give it a thumbs up I appreciate it.
