 Welcome to Digital Assets. News like the top stories in crypto, current digital assets, and break them down to bite-sized pieces. And today, we did it. We knew this day was coming, we knew it was happening fast, and I believe we're on the precipice of something enormous. First up, crypto giant grayscale buys 12,320 bitcoin in a day. That's 13x the rate of new and daily supply entering market. We'll explain exactly why this is so big. And then also, I want to give us an opportunity to dream a little bit. The last couple of days, we haven't had the best news, especially with the SEC and different things that were going on. Prices were going up, but it really just gives us an opportunity to sit back and go, okay, what if? What could it actually be? This one's great. It talks about Raoul Powell, predicts Bitcoin bull run will be more shocking than crypto traders imagine. And the numbers that he's talking about are truly astronomical. And we're getting all that, but first I want to go over what's going on the market. So today, it is December 26th. It is about 10am of Paso, Texas time. I just want to make a real quick dance snippet video because there's just amazing things going on. So we have to talk about it. The first thing that's coming up in my radar is Bitcoin is almost going to hit 26,000. I know that sounds pretty amazing, because we had just talked about 25. Actually, we just talked about 20 not too long ago, and here we are almost at 26,000. So I want to say congratulations to everybody who has held crypto and Bitcoin, which is pretty much everybody on this channel. There's been a lot of times when I know family, friends, colleagues, even loved ones have probably questioned going, why are you into that? Makes no sense. That is so stupid. You need to get out of that. Get into something more stable like bonds, stocks or something. And here we are today. So I hope that that humble pie that you bought them for Christmas, I hope they enjoy chomping down on that. So Bitcoin here, almost going to hit 26. It's up 7% for the day, 12% for the week. That's amazing. Ethereum is also up 645 almost hit at 650, tethered nobody cares. XRP, I will just say this on XRP, I feel for all the XRP holders because over next year, it's going to be extremely rocky. There's just no two ways about it, unless that lawsuit by the SEC is dropped, and unless all the exchanges just come out and say, you know what, we're behind you 100%. We're not going to delist anything. We're not going to stop trading. We're not going to, we're going to go full force and do not see that happening. So for all the people who put a lot of their life savings in XRP and I read all the comments and all the different things that are going on Twitter, my heart goes out to you. Litecoin 10%. So another great one, Bitcoin cash. I mean, everything's up. Let's just say it. I mean, most things are up. We'll just say that, except OKB. I don't care about OKB, 14% for Synthetics and so on and so forth, 12%. What I really want to do, what the heck was this? 25%. What did I miss? Did you buy? Wow, did you buy on a tear? Also, there's a couple of things I want to point out. This graph, that's an amazing buy. Trade the Cheng, they had called that when it was listed. It got called when it was, when it was breaking through, when it was being listed on December 18th at five in the morning and then a couple hours later, three hours later, it was at 56 cents. So 211%. If you're looking for something like this for sentiment analysis, below in the description below, there's a link to check it out 14 days. No questions asked, refund if you don't like it and then go from there. So graph, good for that. And then I just want to point out one thing and that is that this, well, two things actually, Celsius Network is almost about to bust through the $4 range. Now, we had just talked about that as being $2. Now, here we are and Theta, one of the ones I've been talking about for the longest time ever since digital Dave and introduced me to it over at Crazy for Cryptos. Thanks, Dave. We're in the top 20 and that's pretty amazing. It was, it just broke through a dollar, an ounce of $1.50. I see massive things happening. So 20%, that's pretty good. But let's just take a look real quick. If you just would have invested into Bitcoin as compared to all their altcoins. So there's not much that would beat it. Litecoin was one of them, Theta, second one, Synthetix, which always breaks through Dash, Zillica. Zillica, a one that I'm definitely going to, I'm going to definitely get into Zillica at some point. I keep saying the same thing. I never do it. 8% for graph and then you can just see 18% for Digivite. Wow. There's not many that you could really beat Bitcoin to right now. Is there going to be an altcoin season? Yeah. At some point, maybe hopefully, but it's not going to be a much institutional investors. It'll be retail just like before, maybe some hedge funds, but not too much. Bitmax, Hogan. See all these ones down here, I mean, you can gamble and look at it and go, oh, this is going to be good. But look at all the different ones that are out there that you could say, oh, that would have been awesome, or this would have been awesome, or that, but you'll never know because they pump and dump so regularly. It's just impossible. It's why I stay away from, I like to minimize risk. Anyhow, let's jump into what's really going on. This is huge. We had always talked about if grayscale is buying so much and PayPal is buying so much and MicroStrategy is buying so much, then mass mutual gets into it and then all the other institutions get into it. Why does the price not really move? It's because they were doing OTC, they were getting it from miners, but there was only so much to go around. I mean, supply and demand is an inescapable fact that at some point this had to happen and here it is today. So grayscale is the first one. Nobody wants to be first, but nobody wants to be last. And grayscale is the one that kind of, I'm going to say kind of broken on written rule and said, you know what, we know that there's a daily amount out there and we're trying to like, you know, constrain ourselves to it so the price doesn't go up too much. But you know what, eff it. Let's hit the alarm, let's hit the bell, let's just start buying like crazy and everybody else, all those suckers can just try to keep up. So this is what happened. Grayscale added 10,000 Bitcoin to its portfolio in a day. That brings a total number of Bitcoin to almost 600,000. Imagine if they could reach a million, a million out of 21 million, that is a huge amount. They are going to be their own country at some point. So this is how it all broke out as far as numbers. So there was 576,650 Bitcoin was in their possession on December 21st. That amount rose to 588,970, only 24 hours later. So 576 to 588, let me do some quick math. That's about 11,000 if my math is correct. So we're looking at a ton more in just one day. Now as before, they weren't buying that much every day, but they just said, you know what, we got to get ahead of this. PayPal is out there, they're trying to buy up as much as they can. I mean that nut sales is buying up like crazy and everybody else is trying to get it. We need to pick out, just step up because, you know, it's game on and game face and here we are. So Grayscale's recent purchase equates to a 13 day supply of newly mined Bitcoin since the number of Bitcoin being added daily or mined daily, which adds to the supply is only 900. So you only get 900 per day or 21 million, which is pretty good. But 900 per day and they're like, you know what, we need 11,000. And they just went for it. And here we are. So this I think is the catalyst. This is the one where the gauntlet has been dropped. And they say, okay, catch us if you can. And I think now we're going to see some fireworks. The nine figure, some Grayscale just spent the purchase Bitcoin. It's 10 times the average amount. The digital asset manager was spending per week in the first quarter of the year on the flagship crypto. And it goes over some other stuff, but it's not important. What's important is what we just talked about. There's going to be a ton of buy up. They're the ones that started off this whole craze because they were trying to stick to this minimum because they wanted everybody to get in so they could get all their pals in and they don't have to raise the price too much, but there's only so much in supply and demand. And it's the survival of the fittest. Let me understand the comment section next piece. Let's dream. I love these, these little pieces by Raul Powell because he's the one that really got me excited about Bitcoin again. When he started to talk about it. I have always put heavy into Bitcoin. It's about 50% of my portfolio because I knew or I thought I knew, I don't know anything. I thought that a lot of people would get into it, especially like the big institutions because that's what they know. And it's the safest and they like to, you know, hedge their bets as far as like safety. They want to go for the safest thing with the most amount of returns. And that's Bitcoin. Even though it's, people will say, well, it's low and it's old. Yeah, it sure is. But you know what, people know it. So that's what, that's what's going on. Just like McDonald's. That was awful. But guess what? Everybody goes there. So what do we got here? Just in a recent interview, Powell said this, he goes, it is, I think, gigantically different talking about Bitcoin, what's going on. First, look at the acceleration of this post having versus the previous one. It's faster, which none of us expected. We were all expecting the slope to be less so far, not true. Now, it's just the early days. And he goes, and he talks about now we're, now we've got institutions. This is something I never really thought about. We've got institutions, some of them will buy and hold, but as you bring in hedge funds, you'll start bringing new supply in the market because they'll trade it. They'll trade it in big sizes. They'll be selling, buying, shorting, everything else. So not only the big institutions here, but then the hedge funds are going to come in, they're going to trade it all over the place. I thought that would kind of be more of a volatility issue, but he says this, what that actually does is lower the volatility of Bitcoin over time. So the texture and feel of Bitcoin will be different over time, the next cycle. And this was interesting. Overtime, the next cycle, the returns will be significantly lower in terms of percentage returns. Let me say it again, the next cycle, not this one that we're going through right now, the returns will be significantly lower in terms of percentage returns. And that only makes sense because we are the early adopters and that's where all the money really is made. Once you have that little bell curve, you know, you have the early adopters on the left-hand side, then you get the mass adoption right in the center and then you have the laggers on the right side. The next one, this is when everybody comes in, 2021 is the year, 2022 is probably pushing it, but that's what's going to happen. So all of us right here right now, it's going to look a lot different in a year, I will tell you that. He says this one, he's talking about this cycle, this bull run cycle, this parabolic bull run, I have a hunch will be bigger than anybody imagines. The structure of the market is changing. I have a feeling that this is going to be a little more shocking than people can imagine. If I just take the log chart and put regression lines on it, I don't know what he's talking about, but it's trading, sure. If it gets to two center deviations overboard, which is roughly where it got to the last two peaks, that's a million bucks. So maybe it's all about fractals and laying over charts. Sure, I get that. I don't need an explanation. Thanks everybody at the TA Masters. I just know that it's going to, I just know that Bitcoin's going to go up. That's all I care about, right? I don't care how we get there. I just know it's going to go up and I'm pretty happy about that. So the question then is, where do you think we're going to go? Where do you think we're going to go in a what timeframe? I would love to hear everybody's price prediction in the comments below. Start with Bitcoin and then give me your second favorite coin and tell me where you think it's going in a what time. I'd love to hear it. This would be good. And that's it. And before we take off, I just want to say thanks to everybody who has contributed to the DNews stake pool for Cardano. We're almost at 12 and a half million and we're saturation point is at 20%, meaning we can only get to 63 million. I think we've gone two weeks now and we've done marvelous. I have to tell you, we're already minting blocks. Things are going in the right direction. But just as you know, once you start to, if you delegate to a new pool, it could take what they call two or three epics, which is 10 to 15 days to start to receive the rewards, but then it just kind of flows from there. If you are interested in contributing to the DNews Cardano staking pool for passive income and rewards between four and 6%, just go into the description below. There's going to be a link. It's going to look just like this. And once you click on that link, it's going to take you to our Cardano staking pool web page, the explainer. Just click on wallets. It'll take you all the way down and then just watch this video. It's about 13 minutes. It explains how to do everything. It is the easiest thing to stake with Cardano. I don't know what Ethereum was thinking when they put that out. It is tough. With this one, it's like a click of a button and you're done. It's super simple. And we lay it all out right here. All right. So thanks for watching. I appreciate it. And I will see you on the next one.
