 what I'll do is a little bit quick. Let's just do a little Q&A. If people got some questions, I'll get to the best of my abilities and we'll go from there. All right, what do we have? Kerry says, the term is going to be a nice month more to buy a little more of this junk. Yeah, September, August. Look, I know some people, like Moon Walker says, dude is getting a bit too fud for me. Look Moon Walker, I mean, I can just tell you like this. I said this yesterday, just stay alive till 2025. I don't think that this bearable last forever, I'm just trying to get you prepared on what's about to happen, what I think is about to happen. I think we're going to have some, it's either going to be sideways boring action, or we're going to start to have a slow decline. And I think if you hear it and you're like, I don't like to hear that, I get it. But when it does happen, if it does happen, you won't feel so like overwhelmed. I think that's the problem sometimes in this space is like there was just a narrative. Remember the narrative like a month ago, we're in a extended bull market? It wasn't just, I mean, there was a lot of people saying that, was it not? And it was, it was a pretty good, like S&P 500 almost hit its all time high, right? Bitcoin was up 80% from the January 1st price around 16,200. Hey, this looks pretty good. And of course, when people talk about a bull run, they're like, they don't really bring up the other parts of it. I was here to tell you like it could happen. But again, I'm going to tell you the same thing. I still think we're going to do pretty well in 2024 and 2025. So if you understand that it's going to suck for a while, then you should be prepared. And of course, how you do that? Well, it's up to you. I'll say what I'm doing. Just keep buying and moving on. Let's see. Hey, Merrick says, do you really think the crypto market cap can go much beyond 10 trillion during the next bull run? Look, I'll be honest with you. I would be happy if it goes back to 3.2 trillion. Because with all the investing that I've been doing, if it just gets, and I showed you this, there was a chart where I showed you like what I bought every day. And I showed you the price it was at that point. This was like three weeks ago at the point. And I also showed you what it would be, how much I would have gained if we just go back to its all-time high. If we just get back to the all-time high, I'm happy. Do I think we can go beyond that? Sure. And that's it. I'd like to, if I under promise and the market over delivers, everybody's happy. But if I over promise, and so I talk about 10 trillion, Bitcoin will hit 125,000 by the end of 2024 like some analysts have talked about, or 2023, then when that happens, people start leaving. I don't want you to leave. I want you to stick around. I think you'll do pretty well. But I can't have you expecting that it's all going to be super simple and easy, and this isn't going to keep happening. I think that that's where I think we're going. Even though I think we're going that route, does that mean that I just sit back and pout and like, well, I can do about it? No. Zipovino. Hi, Rob. What's your thoughts about the Chinese house event and the application is global? You're talking about Evergrande and then China building these ghost cities and these ghost condos and these ghost skyrises and these entire towns and cities that they've built it and they've borrowed against it. They've been printing money in China, which is what we do, too. They've done a lot of money into it and it looks like Evergrande just filed for bankruptcy last week. Actually, Wednesday or Thursday of last week. Look, I mean, the same, we had a big problem with the real estate market in 2008, 2007, 2009, did we not? And that had global implications. So I could see this rippling throughout. I think there could be problems abroad, but China just kind of will use the old American playbook and start printing money. That's how we do it here. And but at some point, everything has to collapse. It's a house of cards. Oh, man. Verdi. Everybody's liquid at my shirts. Wrenches, thank you. Good morning. Good day. Yeah, Verdi. A lot of people have very short time frames. Yeah, that's what it comes down to. The problem is, is that people always, this is a phrase, people always overestimate what they can do in a year and they underestimate what they can do in five. So like when we start to see these these slide downs of the market and it's like, well, that's a part of the course. Not surprising. And I'm actually happy. This actually happened. Now there's two ways to look at it. Some people, like Ben and Guy, they just are sitting back and just waiting for certain indicators to hit so they can get back in the markets. And me personally, I'm just like, well, I just kind of truck along. But I will say that that lump sum video that I did made a lot of sense. So probably what I'll do is, you know, I dollar cost average just to kind of hedge myself. Once indicators come along, which show that we're actually in a very like one of the bottoms or towards the bottom, especially if a recession comes along, you can see it definitely happening. Then I'll probably drop, I might have to, I might have to move some funds around, but I'll, I might just do a lump sum at some point, and I'll let you know when that happens. So then I can have the all the best, the best of three worlds. I could dollar cost average, dynamic dollar cost average, which is we've talked about that, and also do just a couple of lump sums, not anything crazy like a million or dollars or something like that. But just something to say, well, this might be the bottom, and then boom, really it would just be, that would just be more of an aggressive dynamic DCA. Look, it really doesn't matter. It's at the end of the day. This market's not going to zero like we used to think it would back in the day. So now, in luck, you're lucky going on. I'd never even heard of that token until I did the research on Doge, waiting for the Bitcoin weekly close, all coins just starting to downfall, perhaps. I have heard if we, if the weekly close goes below 26,000, looks like we could have more downside. Ace says, why not include up until today? I could do it. So let's see. Okay, there you go. I did it to today. Didn't do anything. So let's see. So ETH, you're up 500 bucks. Bitcoin, you're up a little bit more, $9,900. Tron, $9,975, and XRP, $11.5. So there you go. Now, Eric says, have you ever wanted to get involved in mining Bitcoin? No, just no. No ambition whatsoever. I've got some acquaintances that have done Bitcoin mining, and they've done not too great. I'll just say that. Tangent. Yeah, I just, I'm waiting for a couple of pieces of information from Tangent. I just got my cards in the mail. Pretty cool. Three cards. That's it. Open source. Pretty safe, as they say it, but of course, they all are going to say that. Yes. Yeah, when I shaved the beard, I looked much, much younger. I don't know how to grow it back. And it was just hot as hell yesterday. I got done playing. I was like, you know, I should just give it a trim. Trim too much. Now I look like I'm a younger self, but my joints are totally different. Yeah, the chute says in 2021, when Bitcoin was 3K, it was terrifying. I remember that day. I think it was March 2020. I want to say it was between $3,000 and $5,000, and that was because of the coronavirus. Yet it rewarded $20,000. Here it can be your friend if you overcome it. Yeah. Moon Walker says, with Black Rock potentially being a big future player in crypto, Bitcoin, would it be wise to invest more on ETH as Bitcoin could be easily manipulated by its institutional wealth? Sure. And I think the narrative will be quite huge for Bitcoin. That'll help the Bitcoin maximalists. And I love that part. But with everybody that comes into Bitcoin, you know what happens then? The narrative gets pushed. Black Rock, if they are really here to be the benevolent fathers of Bitcoin and foster it and really push the masses because they really believe in the technology and are really not here to make a ton of profit. When that happens, a good amount of money should flow into Bitcoin. But then you know what inevitably happens? People will say, what's the next Bitcoin? And they'll look at that and they'll say, what should I get into? Because Bitcoin is now, at that point, once we get past the halving and maybe the ETF gets approved in March, maybe Bitcoin is back up to $60,000, $70,000. People are like, maybe there's something better for me. What's the next Bitcoin? Oh, what's this Ethereum in smart contracts? That's interesting. What is this fill-in-the-blank XRP and on-demand liquidity and so on and so forth? So it just depends. Me personally, I'll give everybody hints, just some knowledge, which is most of my gains did not come from Bitcoin. There was the safest play, which back in the day was well over 50%. Now my portfolio was 75% Bitcoin so far. But back then, my portfolio, most of my gains came from a bunch of S coins. Just how it goes. Thoughts on Neoprotocol? I think it's a fantastic protocol. I was able to deal with the TGE, the token generation event of Sweatcoin, which had millions and millions of users and millions of coins that were actually airdropped into those wallets, didn't miss a beat. And also, I don't know if you know this, but Neoprotocol has active sharding right now, which is what Ethereum is working to master. So Neoprotocol, I think, will do quite well. I invest in that, either every day or every three days, I forget. Real Ray Boss is Wynn Maschinski T-shirt. If you don't know, I have a bet with Simon Dixon. Check out his YouTube channel. He's a real Bitcoin OG. He's been buying Bitcoin since $3, has banked the future, invested in small companies like Coinbase, and was a part of the Ethereum ICO and Kraken and all this other stuff, like 100 different companies. But he is convinced that ETF is going through. And I'm convinced it is not, and for reasons I keep talking about. So the bet was, if the ETF does get approved, this was the BlackRock one, nothing else, BlackRock one. And I'll even extend it like this. If any of them get approved before the having, then I'll wear the T-shirt that says, I love Maschinski. I have a plan for that T-shirt, but whatever. So, and of course, if it doesn't get approved, then he has to wear the T-shirt live on my channel, vice versa. And I will say this, there was an article out that talked about how the SEC was pushing all the decisions for the ETF till next year, 2024. So, I don't know if that, I could never verify that article, but if you take a look at all the ETFs, let's just take a look at it. It's got to be rambling on. Let's see. Let me pull this up. ETF, there we go. As you can see with ETFs, the deadlines were supposed for this year, you had another one in August for ARC, and then October for the rest of them, because these all get August. Actually, these, yeah, shoot, these got wiped away. If that article was true, they're going to push 2024. The second deadline got wiped away. The third deadline got wiped away for ARC. And then we'll see if it gets approved by January or March. We'll see. But they're pushing things out. My whole thesis was, I know people say that Blackrock owns the SEC, but you understand, who does Gary work for? Does Gary work for the SEC? For the President of the United States and the White House? For government? Because that would be a nice, sweet, angling job that he could get if he could take Janet Yellen's job, which is what, as I hear, he's angling for. Or is he on the side of Blackrock? Is there in his pocket? Or he's in their pocket? Time will tell. Marty says, do you think ALTS will reach all-time high? Will do so around the same time as Bitcoin? Like, will A to be $3 plus when Bitcoin goes 70K? If you look back to 2017, the all-time high for Bitcoin was around 1906, and that was December, I want to say it was December 15th or December 17th, right around the same time when the futures ETF came out. And Ethereum didn't hit its all-time high until January 2018. So usually what happens is people get into Bitcoin, they write it all the way up, they take profits, they put it into altcoins, altcoins run their course, and then they just sit on their profits, or they roll it back into Bitcoin. That's usually how it always works out. So it's not like you'll see it all the time, like everything across the board hits its all-time high. That's too much liquidity to do that. Some do, some don't. Rob, what's your outlook of Shiba? You know, I don't really have one. I think that people will probably do pretty well then invest into it because, of course, the community is so big, but I don't really get into that one. Cam A says, have you listened to the most recent, what Bitcoin did with Samantha DeWall, limiting in regards to how kids view, use, interact with Bitcoin? No, I'll check it out. Interesting. Yeah, the kids these days. Shallon said, I heard you stopped the development sharding in favor of supporting Layer 2 Bridging. I keep hearing stories back and forth. They're going to pick it up again, they're going to let it go, they're going to keep going, they're going to deal with just Layer 2 solutions, they're going to optimistic roll-ups, ZK roll-ups, or whatever. We'll see. Niren Dot, I own them. Turp pulls the best. It's not the best one. It's 110 degrees when you're out here. It sucks. I'm convinced that something is going to happen to ruin the price, to jump potential at the next halving. Only plus that'll mean Rob will stay online and stream. Yeah, because when everything gets overheated and things go crazy, that's when I just sell my stack, 80%, 50 to 80% of my stack and just let the channel go. I'll come back in the bear market. I'll probably still do videos on Dan Degen, but that will most certainly be all about blockchain gaming, because that's, I think, is the big stuff. It's very simple, blockchain gaming. Move into that. It doesn't have to deal with the cycles. I'll go with that. Sheep died after Shebarion. I didn't get into that one, but I heard it was supposed to be some great catalyst and it ended up being just awful. Sony's got a good point. Did you notice that no one calls Rob Dan anymore? There's no new people. That's true. Join our crowd. Once Dan is back, we're way back in the bull. That's a great indicator. I should just put the Dan indicator, because nobody calls me Dan anymore, which is fine. I don't really care what you guys call me. It's only to show up, but yeah, that means everybody here, all a bunch of grizzled veterans are doing the same thing. Real rate says, what if Tangem saves the scene on every card and steals your crypto? I'll have to ask them that question, but it looks like the, well, first of all, that would be a really bad business model. That's for sure. It would probably destroy their entire business if they steal all your crypto. Since they've been around for honestly four years now, it would be pretty, playing the long game, I suppose. But hey, anything's possible, right? All right, everybody. So that's it for today. I got to get out of here. A lot of things to do. So again, like this video, thumbs up, subscribe. Also, check out the link for Ben's channel where you can do all that, where you do dollar cost averaging, and just play around with it. It's pretty fun, because you can see where yours is going, how it's been, and how things are moving, how it compares like lump sum. It's very nice. And just check that out. And that's it. So thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it. And I'll see you guys on the next one. See ya.
