 Welcome to Digital Asset News, the guitar stores in crypto, currency and digital assets, and a big amount of bite-sized pieces. So today, we're going to do some a little different. We've already talked about the market. Markets are fine, functioning. There's no really fundamental changes. There's only volatility, which is normal for us. So that is the mainstay of crypto. But I want to talk to you about what brought you here, which was the title, which was Unbroke. And it's true Unbroke. I woke up today and there was a nice little message on my, I got a text message alert says, you are overdrawn your account. Like, huh, it's interesting, but the heck happened. And then I took a look at the account and it was a little bit positive, because what it does for my bank account, it's just if I get overdrawn, it takes money from my credit card. I was like, shoot, it's crazy. And I just must have been busy still in Houston, we're still in this investment property going through the motions, found a busted pipe, so that's why I'm still here. But I was looking into the bank account and I'm like, what the heck happened? And I realized like, oh, Rob, you've been buying a boatload of crypto every single day because you dollar cost average your brains out for this entire year. And actually, I've been dollar cost averaging since 2018. So I just been increasing my positions as time has gone on as there has been dips and I haven't really looked back. So the thing was, I was like, shoot, I mean, I've really spent a lot of money. And I thought about and I really thought about it go, well, is that so much a bad thing to get out of the fiat position and into the cryptocurrency position? And no, it's not a bad, I mean, for me, this is not financial advice, not a financial advisor, but for me, this totally makes sense. And this is why I'm really into assets. I'm into houses and land and businesses and digital assets, because I don't really see there is a need for bunny, obviously, but I just don't, you know, put a big premium on it. So that's going to bring me to like a little, a couple of points I want to share with you today. So first of all, why did I do this? Why did I do so much of this? Well, it's because the four year cycles, which I'm always talking about, I think that we are, if you just look back in the last bull run, we are see this all-time high, 19.5. See, it says January 2017 or 2017, 2017. See where it's just kind of like flat? That's pretty much where we're at right now. We are at that point again in 2021. So I think right here is where I want to accumulate. So if I run a money, it's okay. First of all, I just, you know, I go to my other business account and I can just do an owner's draw and put it over there or I do something else, or one of my other business accounts and pull money from there. And it's not a big thing because, you know, I have other assets out there that I can pull money from. So I think right now, for me, it only makes sense to get out of fiat because the purchasing power of fiat is going down. So that is the really the first part. And when you talk about delta cost averaging, I've been doing this for a while when it's been super boring and flat, which is what really was before this, but it's still, in my opinion, still very flat. So you have to understand, we've been in this upward channel, but then things have been going sideways, especially like with the Cardano, with Ethereum actually been going a little bit sideways. Things are, you know, looking up for us as time has gone on. And then you have to remember, too, is that everything that we've been doing so far has been matching up pretty much with the 2017 bull run. So take a look at this. This was just what we talked about. Here's 2016 where we have all these different pullbacks, you know, we would drop, we just dropped massively just a couple of weeks ago. And the same thing is going on again. This was from early 2021, remember in January, we had a little bit of a pullback of 20% and a pullback of 18%. Just a couple of weeks ago, it was like, what, 15, 20%. So it's the same thing repeating itself again and again and again. So when I talk about like, I'm broke fiat wise, it's, for some people, it's kind of scary. But if you really take a step back and go, well, what does fiat really been doing for me? I mean, it allows me to buy things. I mean, definitely I need them. But as time has gone on, I believe that this is going to happen. This is going to happen more. And it's the purchasing power of what you actually get. So think of it this way. Back in March, well, it's March, 2021, but back in March of 2020, Bitcoin was just was 5,000, you know, so what could you give with 5,000? We can get a used Honda, I guess. And that's one thing. But now if you had one Bitcoin, what can you buy? Pretty good Tesla. We think about it. Or a really super cheap house somewhere in, I don't know, not in LA. I'm just saying like, maybe a very, well, a great down payment, we would say. So we take a look at this for like, you know, the purchasing power of what's going on. You can continue to stay in fiat or I can continue to stay in fiat. But I look at them like, why would I do that? Because all the money that I have is going to start to erode. I can only buy so many things. And then we've got another big problem, which is the difference stimulus package that has been passed means that we're going to flood the market with even more dollars, which means that the purchasing power is going to go down even more. So this was, so not only talking about the purchasing power of the US dollar that has gone down from 1913 all the way to the present. So remember when your grandparents would tell you, I used to buy, I could buy a house for a nickel, or whatever they would say. And well, they'd say I buy a loaf of bread for a nickel, right? And they were right. They could do it because the purchasing power was pretty good. But of course, that same nickel buys absolutely nothing. And that's why like a nickel today was worth a dollar back in 1913. And then this was a nice little graph. 1971 is when Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard. And then of course, the purchasing part of the dollar went way down. And of course, the money printers went way up. And before you knew it, this little red line here, this is the currency and circulation. So the more currency that is in circulation, it dilutes the product itself. And of course, the purchasing power goes down, and that's pretty much matches up with the same thing over here. So the problem I see is not only about the purchasing power going down, but is the dilution of the dollar that is happening. And just so you know, this bottom right hand corner, as of February 10, 2021, there was 2.05 trillion worth of Federal Reserve notes in circulation. And this right here is like 2010, 2012, around there, it was only 800 billion. And look at the purchasing power of the dollar right there. So, and this was actually just taken right from the Federal Reserve.gov. So when I take a look at this, right, and I don't know if you're like me, if your bank account has been pretty low for quite some time, because your personal bank account, you just take that money and just put it in the cryptocurrency. And then you just watch it go up. Now, this would have been a pretty bad strategy in 2017, when we had the parabolic bill run go from, let me just bring that up real quick. If you would have right here where it starts to really go up around June, July, August, and then just sort of stick everything in there and went all the way up, it would have been okay. But the thing is, is when do you get out? Because a lot of people, myself included, never got out. So, the things that I'm doing now is when I'm, you know, getting out of these positions, I'm getting out of fiat and getting into cryptocurrency. Right now, it just makes sense because I see there's so many new roads being put in. There are so much interest into not just Bitcoin, but we just did a story about Chili's, that whole thing with sports teams and what they're doing there. I mean, Theta and smart contracts and Cardano and oracles like Chainlink. I mean, just the list goes on and on and on. VeChain and what they're tracking. So, all these things that are happening, this is like, for me, it is the best time to get out of fiat and get into cryptocurrency. Now, there's going to come a point when everything just goes up. I'm going to have to get out. I'm going to have to get out of these positions because what goes up will inevitably come down. But I see a lot of great things happening very soon. So, this is the last thing I'll talk about here, which is, I did a video, I talked about my exit strategy where once I get to certain points or certain positions, I will start cashing, as I say, cashing out. So, people will say, well, why are you going to want to get back into cash when you just talked about how the purchasing power didn't work out? Well, it's because of this. It's because I can't pay for houses I want to buy in cryptocurrency yet. I can't fund my Amazon FBA business with Bitcoin yet. I can't purchase land with dogecoin yet. So, I have to, at some point, cash out, then immediately get into these assets because that, for me, is what it's going to be. Now, this video, I talked about 10% will be in cash just because it's good to keep on the sidelines, especially things like this with the investment properties. 25% will go into stable coins, 50% land, 20% into real estate. 10% will go back into my Amazon business. 15% will stay into staking. I think staking is one of the biggest opportunities, besides non-fungible tokens, which I really don't understand, so I don't really get into those, but 15% for staking. And I'm talking about Theta, Cardano, Ethereum, and Polkadot. To name a few or to well stand the majority is what I will definitely be staying in anyhow. And then 5% goes to my iTrust because I can park my money there and it's tax-free when I want to take it out at 59 and a half years old. And all the different cryptos like Polkadot and Ethereum, in quarter two I'll be able to stake and for whatever I gain from that, as far as staking, will be tax-free on top of whatever everything evaluates or appreciates to. So these are the things that I still want to do. Like we talked about in the price predictions, I was super conservative about what was going on as far as the actual prices. Like for Bitcoin, I still have it at 150k. And this is the price prediction on January 7th. And I want to show you which ones are overperforming and which ones are underperforming in my opinion. Ethereum back then on January 7th was 1.1,200. Too bad. Chain link was 17, Cardano 32 cents, Theta was $2, Stelcius was $0.06. Pretty good. Stela was $0.33, Polkadot 10, Pazos 265, EOS 340, VeChain was $0.03, Uniswap was $0.06, crazy. Voyager was only $0.29. Voyager, $0.29. Ave, $0.122, and Bitcoin Cash $0.41. And XRP, I still own it, but I don't know what's going to go on that SEC case. So fast forward, this is just a month and a half later, a month and a week later, we had Bitcoin at 55. So it went from 38 to 55. Great performer. Ethereum underperformed. It went from 1.2 to 1.9. And right now it's about 1.7. I mean, just totally underperforming, in my opinion. Chain link went from 17 and it doubled to 35. And I had to actually update my price prediction. I think it's going to go between 35 and 55. I'd already hit 35. So obviously, Cardano went from, what was it, $0.32 to $0.93. Pretty good. Then I went to $1.40. Now it sounded like $1.18. Still pretty good. Theta is the one that went from $2 to $3.77. And now it's sitting around $7. That is massively overperformed. And I'm glad I got it. And here's one that I think really is underperforming. Celsius went from $6 on January 7th to $5.65 on February 19th. And now it's like March 11th, 12th, 13th, some run there. And it's a little bit lower than that. So Celsius underperforming, in my opinion. Stellar did pretty well. Stellar went from $0.33 to $0.51. So not too bad. Polkadot, massive improvement. $10, $10 of Polkadot. And then it was $34. $10 to $34. Pretty good. Pays those V-Chain. Eos didn't really do so hot. Uniswap, look at this one. Uniswap went from $6.60 to $20. And that's in February 19th. And now I think it's even, it's higher than that. Voyager, it went from $0.29 right here to $5 in a month and a half. And then it hit an all-time out of $7, now it's down to like $5.65. So kind of stagnant. Not so great. And Ave and Bitcoin Cash just did okay. So when we took about like all these things that are going, and this was just in a month timeframe, right? Now we're in March and Bitcoin is still around that. It's just kind of going sideways. That's why I've been putting so much money into cryptocurrency, because why? Because it's boring. When things are moving sideways, this is when I invest, because I'm like, it can only go up. I'm not going to invest in the chilies after it went up 100%. That is just for me, that is stupid. But as things are moving sideways, this is the time when it's not too sexy to get in the game and go, you know what? I want to get in there because no one's really paying attention and it's just dull and that is it. So again, I can keep my I mean, my value into fiat and I can let my bank account flourish. What does that do for me? Yeah, I don't, there's no appreciation. The checking account gets, I don't even think it gets any interest, like maybe 0.04% or something stupid like that. So why wouldn't I put in cryptocurrency right now when this is the time to do it? All right, so that's a question for you to answer for yourself. But that's it for today. I just want to tell you what's going on. I'm out of money, but I'm doing okay with cryptocurrency and I will continue to put money into cryptocurrency because for me, this is the time. But there is going to come a time when I have to get out and that is the time for my exit strategy. I've already talked about that. I'll link that video at the end and that is it for today. So if you like that video, go ahead and give it a thumbs up. It always helps the channel. Also consider subscribing. There's a lot of things we talk about are time sensitive and that would be great if you could. I also want to put two more videos on your left and right, the price prediction and also exit strategy. I'll put those up and that's it for today. So thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it.
