Yeah, it's a good day. It's a good day here in Puerto Rico. It's the 80 80 degrees And I think it's going to be a great day and a great week and all that good stuff So I think we're doing good as far as like the audio and visual Let's just get into it a lot of stuff to go over and we don't have a lot of time So first up the market what do we got well the market itself is doing pretty darn good and like I said There is so much good news coming out from big names that even I I think it's going to be a great day. It's going to be a great day Good news coming out from big names that even I am having a hard time believing that it's actually coming out all at once So what we have today is a market around 2.1 trillion almost getting in that 2.2 We've been fluctuating going back and forth and just oscillating. That's just how it is right now But Bitcoin price is 43 one We were actually seeing in last 24 hours. This is what I care about 24 and 7 days So Bitcoin's up 2 and a half but down a little bit a theorem is down a little over the 7 day But it's making up some ground just that's pretty much how it is except for Well, Solana's down 7 but up 3.7 for today and then Cardano is taking a little bit of a tumble Because today is a day for their decks of the Sunday swab decks to go live. It's gonna be Thursday I believe it's in the evening correct me if I'm wrong in the comment section and we're gonna talk about that a little later XRP. Hey except piece of right Tara 5.3 ending big 7% for a crypto comm even though they went through that that mild It wasn't there was a small hack for their hot wallet not for their their big funds their multi-billion They can they can absorb a couple Well, you know 80 or whatever million it was that they got hacked for not a big deal to them 3.8 and actually refunded everybody's funds that I heard tronza 5% what's crazy 6.8% and so on and so forth. So that's what's going on the market. We're seeing some good things Everybody's happy great now Here's the thing I wanted to start with to get us in the right mind sets And that is just a little bit of positivity because in these days and I can understand now why it's not Here's just something to wrap your head around. This was a tweet. I saw from strongbags.eath and she says hey in January 2020 I was driving for DoorDash January 2022 I'm retired That's the power of crypto and NFTs hashtag aetherium and now before we go on this is not a Get rich quick type of situation which I'm talking to you about crypto and digital assets all the same principles apply It's you can get rich overnight like you know You get some dogecoin millionaires, but that stuff doesn't last and it's few and far between so the same things apply Dollar cost averaging making sure that your mindset is right making sure that you're in it for the long haul Zooming out when there's different problems those types of things So when we say these these things it can happen, but it just takes a little bit longer and It's all about how you know what you want to do Do you want to get into it like 30 40 50 years and then get rich, you know from like a bonds? Or do you want to just shorten that type of type of thing again? This is not investments advice just investment opinion here on the channel and that's how it goes So there was that piece I thought was that was great news I mean I like to hear stuff like that and then somebody else said it pretty good This was Lord be Lord Byron single-sting pay goes look I got started in crypto in mid 2017 I lived through that long bear market in 2018 got dinged on tax ignorance. I am in the same boat there Lord learned more kept that it retired early July 2022 and he says now I'm sorry July 2021 And that's a pretty good statement. What it really comes down to is that yes It's there is gains to be made But the investment principles are still the same But then I started to think about it because I've been in since 2017 and I wondered myself Why is it's there's so much? Negativity especially when we're doing so well and I forget the fact that People aren't in haven't been in crypto for as long as I have been and I get I get cursed with knowledge And that's why I did this poll yesterday or this morning. Excuse me and I just asked a basic question. I said look when did you get into crypto and I thought about doing this after I watched Ben over at end of the crypto verse and he said that the majority of people have just gotten in in 2021 I was like Ben's crazy. He doesn't know he's talking about there's there's probably a lot of OGs out there But now I did this poll and I'm like holy smokes and granted it was only 1200 people that took it But there's a lot of people almost half Just got in in 2021 So no wonders no wonder people are not that Enthusiastic about crypto 2021 was I mean right now if you got in in March or November You're you're underwater and a lot of different things because you were the exact same thing that I did which I got in 2017 in November and I got underwater I dollar-cost average for the last four years. Everything's are good now But it just take it took a lot of time So I understand now why people are like hey There's a lot of negativity out there because just haven't the time hasn't been there Just put in the time everything will be Okay, I will say that's my little pep talk for the day. Let's get into today's top stories, which is Google Google cards to store Bitcoin and crypto new report came out So Google's been playing back and forth and before I go on about Google I just want to remind everybody that Google had at one point banned crypto ads and crypto products This was in June 25th 2019. So again, it's another example of what people look to as far as Social indicators or indicators to get into investments like it or not Google is a huge company and when they banned something people like wow, I want to stay away from that so When they can do a total 180 and go, you know what we're not gonna ban crypto ads We want to actually encourage those and also we're gonna do a little bit Of storing bitcoins here's what's going on So Google's digital cards might soon enable users to hold Bitcoin and spend fiat the company's foreign partnerships with Coinbase and bit pay to enable the functionality so what they're trying to do is they're trying to catch up with what PayPal has already been doing because if you don't Or don't know here in the States. I don't what is in the world, but there's this thing called Google pay And they're falling way behind all the other payment processors. They're like, how do I how do we catch up? Well, pretty good ways just to tap into crypto because everybody's with it and then they can actually make more of headway So this was from Bill Reddy Google's president of commerce He says crypto is something would pay a lot of attention to as user demand and merchant demand evolves will evolve with it Google's foreign partnerships with Coinbase bit pay and Google's crypto integrations Allow its customers to hold Bitcoin in their digital cards while spending fiat currency an arrangement That doesn't precisely use the peer-to-peer asset as a medium of exchange but enable users to Spend their Bitcoin holding so that is what is going on Just in the small realm of Google and Google pay great So now we have that piece of good news, which I think helped to Pump up the market or increase the market now. Let's talk about what's going on with Facebook and Instagram So the Facebook and Instagram this came out just a day. What's the date today? 20 Wow today Facebook and Instagram are probably exploring plans to make and showcase and sell NFTs and before I go on as a reminder Facebook also banned crypto and cryptocurrency ads. So again when we talk about these things Indicators from when people may or may not get into crypto They take the look at these huge companies and then, you know, huge legacy investors like the Warren Buffett's and the Charlie Mungers and the Ray Dalios and go You know, well, they say it's bad. So maybe it's bad first Ray Dalio changes tune But I think a lot of people are gonna change their tune a lot of companies just like Facebook just like Instagram which Facebook owns Instagram and Also, they companies like Google. So here's what's going on in the world of Facebook and Instagram as they jump in. So We got Where to go all my things are gone. That doesn't matter Here we go Net Facebook and Instagram. So social media glamour meta as they rebranded is exploring plans Let users create showcase and sell NFTs on Facebook and Instagram. So they're just getting into it and My big question is why why now? Why are they getting into it? I'll get to that in a second Instagram chief Adam Moseri said last December that the company is actively exploring NFTs and how we can make them more Accessible to a wider audience October meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg Zuckerberg. Well in October was just called Facebook and then he said hey They spoke to how the metaverse will need to support ownership of Digital goods or NFTs. So the next question is why are they getting into this? Why is this such a big thing and the reason it's such a big thing for them and as they get into the metaverse play Is because of stuff like this OpenSea, which is one of the biggest NFT Marketplaces They just got evaluated at 13 billion dollars. Well, not just this was on January 5th OpenSea, they raised 300 million round at 13 point three billion dollars So can you kind of see now why? Well Facebook and Instagram want to get into it and and Google wants to do these things just follow the money It's just as simple as that and that's where we go from as far as Facebook Instagram and Google what is going on? So let me know what you think about that in the comment section and then let's finish up with a little piece I like to call Some get it and some get blockbustered. I'm gonna show you an article and Try not to laugh, but it's gonna be laughable So this is an opinion piece. This was two days ago it says why did almost no one see inflation coming and It's it's pretty ridiculous. I mean, I think anybody could see inflation was coming from a mile away and I don't think that they thought it was gonna be this much, but it is what it is and They I'm not gonna read the whole article because it's it will put you to sleep But what they did say here is the feds rate setting federal open market committee fair no better with none of its 18 members Expecting inflation above two and a half percent Financial markets appear to have missed this one as well with bond prices yielding similar predictions Didily international or the IMF the Congressional Budget Office President Joe Biden's administration even many conservative economists They just kind of missed the whole fact that we were going to be inflated all the way up to seven percent And some people even even argue that I think it's around 10 to 15 percent And then they they talk about well It could be supply disruptions and it could be labor supply and different things that are going on But in all honesty, it really doesn't matter. It's just here and that's what it is but it just goes to show you that no matter how What kind of institutions that are out there and and the brain power that that is behind it and whether if you believe that that They just concealed the information or they just didn't figure out in time doesn't matter what it shows you is that some people just don't get it and they are Actively trying to hold things back Because they just don't see what's put out in front of which leads me to one of my next points here Some people don't get it and some people do and this was a an article Which talks about how small banks are gonna go live with Bitcoin trading. There's a reason why the big banks don't Aren't going this route. I mean some are we covered a story about bunk house in Germany They are going to be working with bit max for crypto trading and things like that But these small banks, they're like, you know what we got we've been kicked around for so long for these big banks Let's just start let's just start offering crypto. So this was an estimated 300 banks Which unveiled their plans in June they want to go live with crypto trading in the first or second quarter With the service by night big the American Bank Association independent community bankers of America have made Investments in the company as part of the effort. So not only do we have Google? Not only do we have Facebook and Instagram? Now we have like Bill Miller Ray Dalio Paul Tudor Jones all these institutions coming in now. We have banks come in go. You know what? Let's just let We're losing out. Let's just let's just start to do things with with crypto and offering this to their customers This is great news, but it's only 300 banks. Why is that important? It's really not it's important because These other banks are gonna get blockbuster and it's a term that I've been using for quite some time because I just don't see What's going on in front of them? It's the same thing that happened here where people just couldn't see that watch inflation How how could that possibly happen in America? No way So it's the same thing that's going on here, but I will I made mention of this one thing Which is this no matter how great that sounds? People aren't gonna get it because people like me and you we understand crypto and the volatility But if you're coming from traditional finance and your bank offers you Bitcoin and you heard about all these these great stories Then all of a sudden it drops by 20% you're like what that never happened to my to bonds That never happened any of my stocks that I have. This is crazy. I'm out of here So I think this is why it's so important that we talk to our family members our friends that are out there and go Look, there's this new product Digital assets cryptocurrencies. It's very volatile But we're moving forward to this new age and I think it's gonna be very big And I think for these people to get into it from their banks Hopefully that they get educated and don't just pick it up and go at this is trash because it goes on too It's just too volatile But that's where the beauty is and then lastly as far as some people I get it some people don't This was the a story about mining chips and I'm very happy that China dropped the ball and kicked all their miners out because now they're in the great state of Texas where I'm from and a lot of people a lot of miners are moving over there because of we've got a lot of wind energy and a lot of natural gas and They could Say hey, we're gonna save a lot of money over there and we're not in China The big problem though where the ASIC might the ASIC chips which power all the miners were coming from China Well, guess what Intel said? Don't worry. We'll make you some so Intel's Bitcoin mining bonanza mine chip bags the first big customer Here's what's going on. This was just yesterday Intel presented a new bonanza mine ASIC chip designed for check this out ultra low Voltage an energy efficient Bitcoin mining at the upcoming ISS CC car. I don't know what that is sounds like a great conference, but The big one of the big issues with Bitcoin mining a proof of work And this is what Kevin O'Leary always alludes to also Elon Musk alludes to is the problem that there is so much energy That it takes to mine Bitcoin. That's the discussion further another whole other video But the big thing is if they're gonna come through with it and go Hey, you know what? Here's a chip and it's energy efficient and you can use it all day long He fuses it for for years. It doesn't have a have a life of of 1.25 years and they have to throw them away and If you want to get the energy just go over Texas Now we have solar wind and natural gas I think that solves a big part of that that problem on top of that to finish this up Fox business reports that crypto mining start up grid Which is set to go public for an estimated 3.3 billion on the New York Stock Exchange signed a long-term contract with Intel For these specific chips grid divulge the news via its S4 filing plans to operate three Industrial-scale facilities pulling a massive 48 megawatts of power the company's following said is that it has contracted with both bit Main and micro BT for mining asics Of the other ones But has also entered into a definitive supply contract with Intel to provide those other types of basics asics From Intel so this I think is good news and hopefully will push miners into the new frontier We can get rid of this Ridiculous discussion about just how much energy that is being produced by proof of work if we use these new Intel chips And also if you're talking about national security and things like that for America Well Intel's in California, so I'm going to think about that in the comment section. Let's finish up with a Little section I call for ballers only and Sunday swap and Q&A. So real quickly There is this product. You've probably heard me talk about it called unstoppable domains And these are NFT domains which will that lived inside your Meta mask wallet or wherever wherever you want to put your NFTs and No one can take it away from you so for me like I was a product of the 80s and 90s mom and I can remember when the internet came about so people would buy these these website domains And they would hold on to them and they'll be big big money later on now I'm not saying that's what's going to happen saying that's what did happen So what unstoppable domains is doing right now is they're offering four-letter domains and it's pricey I'm not going to lie to you coin dot NFT coin dot crypto coin dot cash news that bitcoin if I had 50 grand or buy that Little tight with all my with all my bind of dips meme dot coin love dot bitcoin coin dot blah blah blah whatever else So if you're into that there's a link in the description looks just like this and you can go grab yourself one of those Domains if you're quite the baller. Well, there's some here for a measly 25,000 And then lastly, I just want to give a shout out to SundaySwap. Today is the day where they are going to start up their decks, their centralized exchange, which is built on Cardano. So good luck to them. And just so you know, the narrative out there is going to be a little bit convoluted. So just so you know, and they've even said this in multiple publications, IOHK has also said it, they've already gone through the process. They know what's going to happen. They said already they're going to have issues in the beginning. So if you hear a bunch of people say it doesn't work because there's too much congestion and it's not going to happen, they know that's going to happen. That's why they've already tested, they're going into it as a lot of demand and they're going to work through the process to get things going. So expect some turbulence, but I just want to say good luck to these guys over at SundaySwap as they get that decks going. And that is it for today. So we'll finish up with just a little Q&A and then we'll get out of here. So thanks everybody for sticking around. What do we got? Comments. Okay, Jerome, that's it for you. Here we go. Hard pass on name. I don't blame you. Unstoppable domain is a scam, don't buy. You know, I love that word scam. It's thrown around every single day on every single thing. My favorite one is the one where people say it's a scam because it didn't double in 24 hours. You old, well, true. I am. Let's see. What's up? Hey, when I get back, I'll be back in March in El Paso. Jack says, I thought you have chatbots. I don't have moderators from time to time. And we'll see. Let's see. Any questions today? Thanks, wanna hear the light. That's it. Here's the first question. When are you coming to Portugal? Well, here's the second question. How safe is in Puerto Rico? It's super safe. It's an island. And I mean, every place has violence and different problems and theft and stuff like that. But in all honesty, like I'm from El Paso. And I can tell you that's a pretty safe city in all honesty. But right across the border is waters Mexico. And we used to go there a lot. And that place is dangerous. Cartels and things like that. But here, no. Second question, how do I get Sunday? So there's a couple of different ways you can stake your Cardano with one of the 30 different pools. I, DNews, is not one of them. There's a link over at sundayswap.finance. You can find it, actually, if you go to Twitter, I follow them just to find that. And you can stake your Cardano to one of those stake pools and they'll give you Cardano and Sunday spot. Next question. Number three, Dion Solana. Yes. Steven says, I'm a little worried about ADA. I hope this next works. Yeah, me too. It should work. They've been doing their due diligence, but it won't be perfect. But I think over time it'll be okay. And they even said like, look, first couple of days are gonna be tough. I think it'll be some huge congestion, but we're gonna work with IOHK and we're going to throttle things and fix things on the fly. And it should be pretty good. Just gonna take time. And question. Have you ever looked into Hex? Yeah, I had Richard Hart on the show. I just, I told him at the end, I go, I don't get it. I just don't get it. And that was it. And then lastly, what new NFT project are you excited about? And then saying, there's not much really coming. Oh, well, these, you can go take a look at, I was laughing when I said, it's these nuts. And I follow them on Twitter. If you ever had a bad day, just go to the Discord group. It's hilarious. And that's it. And that's all. So everybody, that's it for today. I'll probably do a regular video, not a live stream. There's a lot of things to talk about and some things I wanted to get out later, but that'll be later for today. So thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it. If you liked today's video, go ahead and give it a thumbs up. Also, consider subscribing. A lot of you talk about our time sensitive like you just saw. That's it for today. So thanks so much. I appreciate it. And we'll see you in the next one. Thanks.
