 Let's talk a little bit about what that really is and do a little Q&A and we'll go from there. But if you gotta take off, see ya. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you, and I'll see you on the next one. And here we go. Aristotle. Rob, you are not exactly selling some of these tokens. You have to understand, though, I'm biased. Everything I talk about I own. I don't own Luna Classic. I will never own Luna Classic. I won't own Luna 2.0, and I definitely won't own Luna or FTT. So I just kind of look at them like, I don't know, might people do that. But there's a play to be made, and if it makes money, it makes sense sometimes. But it doesn't make sense to me, so who knows. But again, the generates, yeah, maybe. But maybe just people just out there for the buck. I mean, if you like gambling, if you like gambling, you understand, that's okay. ICP says, yes, Luna's being manipulated by VCs just like Solana. It's very easy to manipulate this market. It doesn't have that much market cap. Even if it isn't in billions, you can move a lot of things and move around. Luna Classic is junk. Potentially, I don't get it. Rusty Bond. Good to know. A slice of bread got stuck in my toaster. I flipped the smoke out. ICP says it will be good when the SEC comes for platforms like Solana. Let's see how it works out. I hope not. I own a lot of Solana. Cat with a K. Says, take it easy. Got to wrap up. Wrap up. Been on these YouTube streams too much today. Yeah, get out of here. Yeah, everybody's been talking. It's an interesting time. That's for sure. DCA. Worst recession ever around the corner. Cash is the king. It could be right. I can't discount that. It could very well be. I mean, look, if we look at the 10 and 3, for the rates, I mean, every time we invert and un-invert, we tend to get into a recession, except for 1966, apparently. Everything after that, 1978, 79, 80, 1989, 1990, 2000, 2001, then the Great Recession, 2007, 89, and of course, the Surveys of Sickness. In 2020, Ben Cowan is the best. Robin Greer is the best. I do agree with him. I do think Bitcoin diamonds will go up. We'll see. Oh, thanks. Hey, Rob Bram from Crypto Banner put out a post on X and his crypto YouTube channel. I missed you. I come and tag you in the post. Thank you. That's nice. Let's see. This is not all about crypto. Only this channel. When Lambo, though, have you ever driven into a Lambo? I got bad needs. I can't get into that thing. I mean, I just have enough. I think if I really wanted to buy one, but what's the point? I'm more for comfort these days. I'm old. That's a good question. Brian Gray says, Rob, you know, if staking rewards are taxed are the same as capital gains or as regular income. So this really comes down to what jurisdiction you're at and which country that you actually live in. So the United States, there's been a couple of different laws and they're very ambiguous to say the least. It depends on your CPA that you talk to. One can interpret the laws and say, yes, everything that you get as far as staking is now capital gains, not only capital gains, not only long-term capital gains, but short-term capital gains, which is pretty crappy if you think about it, especially if you live in places like California and New York, because on top of the short-term capital gains, you also have to pay state tax, which really sucks. Now, the other CPAs will say, no, no, no. That's not true. It's only when you sell your stakes that you actually are taxed. So if it's over a year, then it's long-term capital gains. Again, I only know partially the rules in America, so I can't really speak of that. My best option for you, there's a link in the description. There's a program I use called Coin Leisure. Coin Leisure is where they do everything for your taxes. On the bottom of that website, Jesus, let me just show you. This is for everybody, because at some point, now people say, taxation is theft and all that stuff, and you know what? There's somewhat of a point there, but also if you don't do your taxes, you can be like Al Capone and they can just throw you in jail, even though you may have done something way worse. Anyhow, so Coin Leisure, if you go down here to the top, the bottom, it says right here, find a crypto tax expert, and they got all the CPAs that you could want to talk to, and they can sort things out. Some of you don't need this because you're like, I did 10 transactions last year. You don't need this, but if you're in the United States, Australia, Germany, India, Ireland, United Kingdom, Canada, and Spain, and you're looking for an expert on top of a program to use, that would be the one that I would go for. Again, link's in the description, and it might help you out. Van Zand's got a great question. Rob, which pool do you think the 100k dip will happen in? That's a good question. So we're usually in Puerto Rico until the hurricane season hits. That's around April, so we leave in April, and we go back to Texas. So I was really hoping that the 100k dip would be in my pool in Texas. Nice controlled, it's an indoor green screen pool, but it could be here, and it could very well happen. And if everything comes together like this, if the ETF comes down the pipe, and it gets approved, I personally think that it doesn't get approved by January 10th with ARK, it's not going to get approved. Because for the SEC to pass over ARK, and then approve everybody else, which the next one in line would be BlackRock, I don't see it happening. Now people who are proponents of BlackRock will say that's exactly how it's going to happen. I just don't see it happening. So if it happens in January, fine, that means I got to jump in the pool here, and it could very well happen. Me personally, I don't trust Gary, I don't trust the SEC, and I know that there isn't there in voluminous talks as it's been reported to all the different ETF carriers, what's going to happen? I just, sorry, I still don't see it as 100%. And people say, well, it's 90%, 99%. All right, I just don't see it. But if it does happen, I think it's going to happen here in this pool, and I will jump into that one. So that'll answer your question, because once we hit an ETF, I think it's not a by the rumors all the news, I think a lot of people will flood in. J2Days says, Rob, will you dump 690 or 70 coins as bull run? So yesterday, we took a look at all my different cryptos. And I've been in here since 2017, I own 70 different cryptos. And some, it just, they're like dust, it's not that much. And some is a lot, like I will just tell you that 75% of my portfolio is Bitcoin. The next biggest percentage amount is Ethereum, roughly between 5% and 10%. And the rest are a bunch of altcoins. But I will tell you, I think the altcoins will vastly outperform Bitcoin. I just think they will. But the plan is to sell 80% of all of my tokens, all of them. And yeah, I will dump all of them. I will dump all of them. And people say, well, don't you feel bad for dumping on people? No, I don't at all. And I'll tell you why. Because everybody's been dumping on me for two years. Who's been buying those bags? Me and you, as a matter of fact. So when people say, oh, you shouldn't dump on people, what? Are you in there for the tech? That's great. I mean, it'd be great if it works out. I'm going to pay the bills though. I'm just saying. Gala's going parabolic. Sounds about right. I like the fact that they pivoted to mobile gaming. And that's a, I think more people will be interested in the like casual type of games for the majority. I know if you're like a hardcore game, you love hardcore games, triple A, right? Games. I get it. But for me, I'm not going to sit down for two hours on a gaming rig and play. It's not, I'll play on my phone. That's it. Toxicano. That's a good one. It's a good picture. Is it a good time to sell bitcoins for alt? I don't think it's really a good time to sell. I don't really delve into the argument that you should sell your Bitcoin to get into alts and write alts all the way up and then sell them. I know we just talked about, but me personally, I'd rather just take the funds that I get from my businesses and whatever I've already put into Bitcoin stays. That's me. Whatever I have extra cash or flow, I dollar cross average and the other alts that I think are going to do very well. I just do that. You can dollar cost average. You can value cost average. Some people will say, no, no, Rob, you got to sell your Bitcoin, which some people do. We just saw the charts. Sell your Bitcoin, roll it all into the alt coins or even degenerate plays and write it all the way up. You can do that, but it's risky. It's the same thing that I remember people talking about in 2021 where they were taking loans against their house, against their crypto, and they're buying other crypto. And then they were putting on like platforms like Celsius and not doing cold storage and they lost everything. So me, these days, it's not how much you make. It's how much you keep. And I'm in that stage where I don't want to do that, but some people can do it. It's an option for you. I just don't think it's an option for me. Yeah, I know. It's not as, it's not very sexy. I know. Should I be booking my Forbes? Whoops. What happened? Oh, there we go. I was like, is everybody stopped working? Tesla. I couldn't get a land bill. Should I be booking my Forbes interview now? Arkansas, Jeff says, this is a good point. Everyone is bullish, doesn't feel right. And it doesn't feel right. I'm going to tell you why. It's because for so long, even when we were really in a bullish narrative, we're really in a bullish market. People say, and people throw that term around a lot. We're in a bull market. We're in a bull market. But if you look at the definition taken from Investopedia, what is a bull market? A bull market is when from the lows, the stock, the asset rallies 20% and the sentiment is more bullish than bearish. That's essentially the actual definition. Now, in crypto, it's a little bit different because 20%, that's a Tuesday. No big deal. But we start to go up 40%. And the sentiment turns from mostly bearish into bullish. That's a bull market. So I can just tell you, when we started to go from the bottom, which was in December 2022, and then we rallied up, I mean, we were at $15,700, I remember, somewhere around there. Then we went up to 20,000, 25,000, 30,000. That's it. And then the sentiment turned over. We could see in the VIX that, hey, the fear and greed index, we were pretty high up there. So the reason why doesn't feel right, Jeff. And I get it wise because we've had this narrative of it's a bear market. There is a recession coming, higher for longer. This is not going to be approved. And I get it. And even me, I'm kind of stuck on that a little bit. But the macro environment, I still believe there's a recession coming. It usually happens when the 10 and 2 years or 10 and 3 months on invert. And then we can see that it might have a recession. It's going to be a hard landing or a soft landing. Usually we have a recession. Who knows how it goes. But we talked about this, about time frames. Recessions usually last 10 months. But that's for a total recession. Usually markets come out of it six or seven months afterwards. And then the economy recovers three or four months after that. That's where the 10 months comes from. So there's that piece, but it doesn't feel right because we've been in here so long. So I think as we get more bullish and we're like, oh, it's not so bad, or all of the price keeps going up, or all those more good news are, oh, Tesla just announced that they're going to take Bitcoin for payments for their Cybertruck. Then we're like, okay, it's not so bad. But only time will tell. And that's why people say, why do you dollar cost average? Because I don't know what's going to happen. I know there's a lot of chartologists out there and TA experts, but nope. So Marty says, I thought it was tax like property. I don't think so. What's the fear I'm going to say? Watch that. It's probably flashing greed. But that's Marty says, like property, again, depends on your jurisdiction and where you're at. There's also DJ in the US, I believe long term is 10%. I believe it's 20%. Short term is 25%. And I believe that's on your tax bracket. So if you're in a tax bracket of 25%, it is. If you're in 33%, it's 33% or 44%. And of course, the state income tax, I mean, in California and Texas at zero, in New York, it's between seven and nine and California is the same thing. Yeah. Rob, do you visit El Salvador? I do not. Ben's chair is here. Hey, did you watch NFA live with New Coast? I saw it a little bit. I saw Gareth and David Lin, which David Lin's got a great channel. If you want to go there and watch Difference of Opinion from Experts, one expert will say, hey, there's no recession. And the next expert will say, it's a depression coming. It's great. It's like a mini series. It's like a novella. Black Rocks last time was in March. I'm wondering how quickly art can resubmit if not a preliminary 10th. I don't know how that works, actually. I don't think it resubmit already, but this is the thing. If they're in talks with the SEC, and the SEC says, do this, this, and this, and they do everything. You know they're doing everything. You know they're doing everything. Because Kathy Wood came out and said they're doing everything. If they do everything and they still get denied, what's the point of resubmitting? Like, is it going to change anything? I don't know. Retro beast is Rob, how the YouTube views looking at the moment, it's a good indicator. It's a lot. There's a lot more viewers like on Sundays, Saturdays, Saturday's views. On the live stream with the Q and A together was like 70,000 views, which is pretty big. Because I had like over 2,000 people watching. Saturday is a good day. Today, right now, we've got roughly 900, 850. So probably be out 20,000 views or maybe 30, if it does well. But yeah, views are up. So I know things are going much, much better because I get bombarded in my emails with a enormous amount of offers to collaborate with the worst projects of all time. All right, did you get a haircut? You look good. Thanks. I got a haircut and I trimmed my beard down. The white beard wasn't. And then, of course, I lost like 15 pounds so far. And the reason for that is I have a herniated disc and I can't move around too much. I'm just getting back into it. So I lost about people. It's not fat. It's all muscle. Muscle goes away like that. Especially as you get older. So now I'm going to take extra testosterone to make sure that I can get that muscle back. That's it. Oh yeah, Karate Combat Lee token. Hopefully that does well. I mean, who says that about dumping? I said that about, oh, who says you should, it's amazing. Like, when I talk about different altcoins, there's like random people. And it's probably like 1%. Like, how dare you dump on people? But maybe they're just tourists. Panda says I'll jump in Rob's pool and Bitcoin is 100k. He might share a trespassing. I won't shoot anybody. I mean, I haven't shot anybody in a long time. So it's okay. Rob's a whale. No, no, no, no, no. Lambo and the Rambo. Yes. Rob, shout out to the gaming guys for a bunch of great picks so far. Big time's question. Man, when me and Kagi were talking today about the different things that he he wants to get into, it's all, it's in line with what Jesus Martinez was talking about when he came on. But there's a couple of different kinks into what he said. And it was good information. So I can't wait for you guys to watch it. It's tomorrow. And hopefully the gaming tokens don't go up by 1000% in that amount of time. But who knows? I mean, look, we're very bullish, but things could dump tomorrow. I hope it does. Andy. Thoughts on Kodano the next bull run? You know, Dan Gamaldino, I think it's nice. Dan over at Crypto Capital Ventures. He put out a statement, and it was pretty because he's big into Kodano like me. He's like, you know, usually Kodano is kind of a liar. And everything kind of pops off first, you know, Bitcoin pop off and Ethereum, then it'll flow into other all of a sudden. Kodano kind of just does its thing for a bit. And then it really takes off. And at that point, Kodano really over, over produces. And it's, it happened last, last cycle. So I think you can do very well. And it's got some great projects on it, World Mobile Token, Cornucopia's, I think Meld is on there. So, and then of course, the privacy token midnight. And of course, that's going to be separate. But I think you can do very well, just depends on what, how far we go. And it's not like, I mean, we just took a look at again, who's in and out of the money. Let me go up here. Kodano's mostly people out of the money, but no one's really selling, selling like a ton. People, 55% are out of the money, 30, almost 40% are in the money. And if we take a look at, it's up 6% for the week and almost 3% for the, for the day. So many people aren't selling right now. So I think it's doing pretty good, but it hasn't really popped off like, say the gaming tokens, but that's the narrative. It's always a narrative. There's always a new narrative for every different cycle. Damn it. In 2017, it was ICOs. And then, then we got into like 2020s. So we got into DeFi farming and then 2021, NFTs were the big rage and whatever else was out there. L1s, L2s being the big thing. And now I think the next, uh, next narrative is going to be DEXs, AIs and gaming tokens. So we'll see. Let's see. Near protocol, ICP are going to move soon. Near protocol just did well. It got to 2018 cents. I think it was just pretty good. And then ICP, I own that. Hopefully it does well. We'll see. No, it says, don't you think ETF is a try to buy as much Bitcoin as possible and kill its utility and value? Here's a question for everybody. What do you think the utility is with Bitcoin? Do you think it's for payments? Like it was a peer to peer transaction, like the white paper said, do you think it's a hedge against inflation? Do you think it's a store of value? Me, I see it as like gold 2.0 store of value type of thing. I don't really see it as a payments right now and people say, well, lightning is going to change it. And I'm like, well, lighting has got its problems. That's not for me. It's from lighting developers. So, you know, we'll see, but I don't think it's going to kill the utility. The utility itself, I think is again, store of value. So they buy it up, they hold on to it. They sell it to their clients. They do the custody. Actually, they don't do the custody. Coinbase is the custody. Coinbase and Gemini. Same thing we're doing right now. And then of course, the value goes up because it's not being moved. I think that's the value. Cannot send ETF across the world. That's true. But I don't really like, let me ask you guys a question. How many people are using Bitcoin to send across the world? Like regularly? Let me ask you this. How many people are using Bitcoin just to send it across the state or across the city on a normal basis? The only thing that I do, I move Bitcoin once a week, every week. And that movement is from the exchange to my tangent wallet. Well, actually, it was the ledger. Now it's the tangent. So yeah, I just, I still see it as like gold 2.0. That's how I see it. Now, you know, we get a layer two solution. Okay, you got me, but we'll see. Do you think Robinhood but realist soul? I have no idea. Probably not. I don't want to deal with it because a long time ago, some guy named Gary put a lawsuit out and named them as a security. So say it at least as we just still recommend DCA with Bitcoin and Forty. I can't recommend anything to anybody, but I can just tell you that today on Coinbase, there was a buy order initiated by me and my DCA. And because we're in the risk bracket of 0.52, which we talked about this before. So just time and risk bands. There's a video I did that took a look at that. And right now, I'm not going to stop DCing until we get into the wristband of 0.75 or above. And that's a long ways away. 1,000 FT's probably do well like everything else. I don't know. There's always some great project coming out. I'm not for sure. We need a pullback. I'll take a pullback. Sure. Forty K. Let's look at H bar. I don't own it. So I don't talk about it. Negative neosis. Rob said Bitcoin to make up 80% of the pros. I've been left with 68 tokens. Near will be a very small amount. It's not that small. It's just that I got a lot of Bitcoin. Our decent amount, we'll say. Peter Schiff disagrees. Peter Schiff. I remember when Richard Hart had a debate against Peter Schiff and he just destroyed him because he said, what's your net worth in gold? He's like, I think it was below 10%. He's like, why? Isn't that what you believe in? Totally. That's what you built your old business on. What's your other net worth? He's like, well, I got 10% of this or whatever it was. And then he's talking about equities and stocks and other parts that he did. And he's like, why? If you talk so much about gold, you're known for gold, why don't you put most of your net worth into it? He's like, doesn't make any sense to me. And then of course, it just kind of spiraled from there. So Peter Schiff, like me personally, I can say that I have a big chunk of my net worth into crypto. The other big chunk is into sports facility and also the real estate. But I own a lot of crypto because I believe in it. I think it's going to do quite well. So for Peter Schiff to come on and say, I don't know, I just don't get it. There's some massive things on Hedera. There always is. Edward Fox won't year on Washington because it's a great point. I talked about this before. So wash rating is still legal here in the United States for crypto, not for stocks. So you can see that definitely happening. People selling at the end of the year, then they buy it right back. So let's hope so, Ed. Let's hope so. That'd be great. That would be great if people just started selling off their crypto and everything just kind of drops. And of course, you know, my orders get executed because time and risk bands aren't there yet. It'd be awesome. Does wash rating usually happen when markets are down? It just depends. I will tell you what the most amount of wash rating is. NFTs. There's a website called L2Beat. I think it's called crypto slam. I wasn't even close. Look at this. Cryptoslam.com. And what is wash rating? Wash rating is when people are selling and then buying, and it's between the same person or just two people that are essentially cahoots. But we know that this is wash rating because it leaves one wallet, goes back to the same wallet. Wash percentage for Ethereum, 52%. 52%, which is up almost 92%. So the sales total is 40. They should put the total over here. The total sales is 43 million. But I get what they meant. Wash rating is 22 million and sales is 20 million. Total is 43. Wash percentage 32. Solana is only 0.41. That's something. Polygon, Layer 2, 37%. Avalanche, that's not bad. Everything else is pretty good. Tazos. Who the hell uses that? All right. Just kidding. I'm sure it's awesome. Today, CTO Larson says something nice. You don't lose money if you sold Bitcoin at 30K. For instance, then buy at 40K. Yeah, I guess that's true. But you damage a little bit of your average price less for an investment. You don't lose money if you sold Bitcoin. Unrealized profits, though. That's the big thing. Dan, can you please do a degenerate 1RX shitcoin review show? You know what? They're not s-coins, I should say that. There's this. I'm going to do this starting this week. I have a second channel. It's called Dan Degen. I only put this out when things get a little bit frothy and a little bit degenny. I'm going to start doing some more videos over there as well. This is where I talk about some of the most, we would say, risky stuff, but pretty good profits. It's either you're going to make a lot of profits or you're going to lose everything. It's really never in between. It's usually how it works with Degen stuff. But when we get this point, I'm like, hey, why not? Usually things that I've reviewed have been done pretty good. Gensokishi did great. Fame did pretty good. Then it dropped off. Sweatcoin, that did well, especially in the beginning. I went all the way up to $0.09 from a fraction to a penny. Of course, now it's only worth a penny itself, but not too bad. But most of it, I want to do this one. The next one is going to be 10-set. The reason it's 10-set is because it's a launch pad. With the launch pad, what's great about this one is that you get a 10-set token. It's on the Binance chain. You stake it with 10-set. They allow you to get into these early launches. What's great is that if they don't work out, like let's say the price collapses within 10 days, you get your money back. We're just pretty good. Here's the ones that I don't know what Alvaro, I don't know these. Like Satoshi Alameda, good. Alaska Gold Rush is still up. Well, it took a drop from its all-time high, but it just did like a 60% increase. Fame off the place here. I met a hero. This one's still doing pretty good. I'll probably talk about this one next. 10-set. I like 10-set. News flash, news flash. I own it. I'm very biased. That's it for today. Look, come on up on an hour. Everybody, that's it for today. Thanks so much for stopping by. If you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up. Consider subscribing. Everybody talk about its time sensitive, but that is it for today. Thanks so much, everybody. Good job hanging in there. It wasn't easy, but you did it. Congratulations. I think we're in the right place at the right time. I can't say up only, but better days are yet to come. All right, everybody. Thanks, and I'll see you guys on the next one. Adios.
