 And we're alive well digital asset news like a top stories and crypto and bring on a bite-sized pieces So today we're doing a little bit something different, which is going live We used to do these a lot more Back in the day, but things got busy and that's what it is But I haven't done a video in the last two days because I have been sick and kind of off and on but here we go So first of all before we start I think it's always important to make sure that first of all the connection is good Make sure it's not too glitchy not too blocky everything going around and the second thing is How do we go for the audio and it's pretty important because we can't hear me it makes no sense So I'm gonna just bring up the chat real quick Larry Apple hi, how you doing doing good? My voice is back. Yes. I'm what so forth and Yeah, I mean you get a little sick and here you go Great to be here small dip Way sue. Hey, bro. Hey bro. Are you peeps Ryan Chapman? Benjamin Button with the voice That's true audio is okay. Nice if the audio is okay. It doesn't matter even even the rest of it could be fine The video or yeah, what not so let me get that out of there Let's come over here a lot of stuff to talk about a lot of stuff to talk about and seems like the last if you miss a 24-hour time frame It's like you're missing out a lot as far as the crypto currencies and digital assets We're gonna go over a couple different things first. We're gonna I need to talk to you about the avalanche deep dive We did over at Dan clips want to talk to you about the eight trillion dollar Gorilla in the room a black rock because they got caught lying as they've been investing into cryptocurrency Also, I'm talking about Falls Fargo and JP Morgan also investing in cryptocurrency and We're gonna talk about how you can buy a home with Bitcoin because the second largest Mortgage lender in the United States is offering that service and why I think this is actually a viable option for a lot of people Because the rich don't sell the rich borrow and then lastly we're gonna talk about a real-world use cases for Cryptocurrencies and assets which I talked about or I put it out on Twitter. So we'll go over all those things but first I have this nice little meme up and It rings it rings true today As it rang true just months ago and it'll ring true in a year three years five years a Thousand years from now and that is that the mentality of people really comes down to this They don't want to do anything when things are risky. They don't want to put a lot of their hard-earned cash into something that may Well, probably we'll take off And they really only get into things and investments When things are going through the roof and that is called FOMO fear of missing out And the problem with that is that as a as investors You have to quell that inner voice in your head as I like to call it the lizard brain Which is the fight or flight and just to say to yourself that look Yes, things are down. Yes, we talk about buying the dip and yes all these things Really take a huge tumble, but that's where all the money is made. So for everybody here first of all, thanks for coming I appreciate it everybody here who Has been watching this channel and other channels Knows that everybody talks about buying the dip But it's a lot easier to say it than to actually do it But if you have done it once twice, I mean there's a ton of dips in the last two months Just one of those you're probably making out like a bandit today and that's pretty good news So just remember this that just expect a flood of calls from your friends and family going. Hey, what's up with Ethereum? Hey, what's up with Bitcoin? Oh, it's you just tell them It's the same thing I told you six months ago in a year and two years ago that you didn't invest into and that's okay because It's not for everybody. It's really comes down to What I see For long-term investors it's really the ones that have the the mental fortitude to actually look at something and Have a long-term distance plan instead of going for these the short-term Daily type of a little insignificant type of gains and they put off all the things that they're supposed to for later Because I know there's their ship is coming in just gonna take a little bit of time So that is that little piece right there but real quick just want to talk to you about the avax deep dive and I've been promising this one for a long time because I started this video. Look at that sweet kind of mustache I had Started this video six weeks ago the avalanche deep dive and I actually completed it in a couple days That wasn't the problem. The problem was Going back and forth with avalanche and some different things the way to do Because I want to make sure it was a hundred percent correct and it took a long time So when you watch this video, it's over on Dan clipped It's not gonna be on this channel. This channel is only for news So if you like to hear about the the the basics things that are going on as far as like today Subscribe this channel if you want to talk about the upcoming things the big things are coming around the corner project reviews and basic interviews and more live streams Go over to Dan clips just search for Dan clips deep dive into avalanche I actually link that in the description below and it's a it's a long one But I put Timestamps all the way throughout and we go over just exactly why it is and it's pretty funny because in this video I Talk about how the price of avalanche was like a 10 or 11 bucks or something like that And I'm like, yeah, I think it's gonna go up pretty soon and I'm gonna tell you why and but it's kind of weird Just to see that video play out and then we go through all those things We do an interview with one of the team members from avalanche and then we go over how to stake avalanche So you can check that out in the description below So that is just a real quick deep dive Also, if you don't want to deal with finding it on YouTube just go to Dan teaches crypto That thing that circles above my head constantly and just go over to see up in the very top here home sign up about and remember this is a hundred percent free website I made this for you so you could figure or learn a little bit about cryptocurrency It's not everything but it's it gets you going for a lot of great things and 100% free take can't be bad. So if you get if you hover over staking There's aida staking and a vac staking when you click on a vac staking you'll take you this handy-dandy page and I have the deep dive video here and then down here how to stake. So that's what's going on there. So Let's get into the big stuff black rock hotline I Do like these stories. I love these stories actually And here's what happens. So I'm gonna keep this all simple and real fast because your time is valuable And I got a lot of things going on too. I'm sure you probably got more than me But let's just do this black rock joins fidelity and vanguard as a Bitcoin mining investor And I'm just gonna sum it up in this one paragraph for the whole thing a Mandatory SEC filing dated June 30th, 2021 today. Let me get the time It's like the 20th of August something like that I think so it correct me in that I always get the days wrong shows that black rock the world's largest asset manager With nine trillion. I'm sorry. I said eight trillion I said I said eight trillion again is nine trillion. I'm sorry and assets has taken significant stakes in two Bitcoin miners 6.71% in marathon digital holdings I also own Mara as far as the stock and 6.61% in riot blockchain. So here's the thing why they invest into that because it's kind of a funny thing because Black Rock CEO Larry Fink seeing very little demand for crypto see the date right there July 14th. That's funny Because the SEC filing was June 30th. How interesting. I feel like that meme with Kermit the Frog raised like this But yeah, interesting. So they there must be enough demand That black rock is seen for them to get into Bitcoin mining just a guess So there is that little little snippet of information and then also Let's take a look at our pals over at Wells Fargo and JP Morgan as they launch Bitcoin funds And I'll sum it up real quick. Well as Fargo is partnering with the New York digital investment group NY Dig and JP Morgan. Whoops JP Morgan is also partnering with NY Dig and will also receive a percentage of sales through subsidiaries So what are they doing? They're getting into cryptocurrencies and digital assets mostly excuse me just Bitcoin funds and Just to go a little bit further We all know JP Morgan story Wells Fargo said they weren't gonna get into it as well JP Morgan Jamie Diamond has come on and said that he would fire and he was traders who got into into Bitcoin Then he said yeah, it's okay And he's like well We could maybe a little bit of 1% and then what it really goes down to is that they're gonna offer this to their richest clients and Really what they're doing is they're saying to all there all the people out there just Average Joe and Jane Jane Doe You and me just hey, this isn't worth anything So so don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain because it's worthless and Because of that, I think a lot of people didn't invest in a cryptocurrency I mean not me and you you watch this video or smart enough to do your own research and take a look outside the Mainstream media and take a look at what's really going on and go you know what this makes a lot of sense I'm gonna get into it all the other people that are out there They did not invest these include all my friends except for one They all said now now I saw some reports and I saw some things and even my brother is like that's the cryptocurrency is dumb Sure. Okay, you know, I mean I can I can you can lead a horse to water can't make them drink And then here we are so behind the scenes. What are they doing? getting into crypto and digital assets and That little piece right here where it talks about Well, Spargo was parting with the NY NY dig New York digital investment group JP Morgan also part of NY dig. Who are those guys? Well, those guys are the same ones we talked about all the way back on June 24th Where institutional Bitcoin shop NY dig is partnered with Texas FinTech firm Q2 to provide Bitcoin to Q2's 18 million users Q2 is a behind-the-scenes player providing online banking software To over 450 small and medium-sized banks and credit unions Including Texas Security Bank Mercatile Bank and Scotiabank and blah blah blah and this last sentence always kills me According to Jean condo Q2's vice president of communications Q2's decision to part with NY dig was based on client demand and I'll just leave it at that. So Here's another thing. I want to talk about real quick All these things that we just talked about are great news But you have to understand all these people right now that are getting into crypto all these big institutions and players This is just what they're telling you if they're getting into So I might throw it still killing me after this sickness, but I'll be okay and So for you out there if you've invested and this is not investment advice It's just investment opinion for all the people that got into into Bitcoin. It's just Bitcoin a theorem Just a couple years ago and even 2017 when I got in or maybe got in 2013 or 2012. I don't know maybe 2010 But if you got into Bitcoin Ethereum you front-run all the smart money out there You front-run you front ran all the different banks and hedge funds institutions You beat them to the punch essentially what happened and now that they're here Everybody and I can almost say that this is 99.9 percent of the people watching this video right now All of you that have invested outside of Bitcoin Ethereum are front-running all these guys Now maybe they're investing into some other things and a little bit here and there But the only thing that that really these big hedge funds and institutions and banks and really can really wrap their heads around right now Is Bitcoin a theorem Bitcoin a theorem Bitcoin a theorem. That's it So if you've invested into anything like I don't know Let's take the third one Cardano or maybe into Theta or maybe into Tezos or maybe into Audius or the avalanche or whatever else it is. You are front-running these guys so hard They're not even gonna know what hit them because as soon as they figure out that there is a lot more things that cryptocurrencies assets can do and be like, hmm I think we should get into that and I think that's where the power lies now again I'm not telling you to do anything or getting anything else But just for me myself and I I have spread my Assets around as much as I possibly can just started with five and now I think I've got over 50 different digital assets that I've invested into so That's how I see things. So congratulations. I think you're front-running the big guys and the smart money So let me know what you think about that in the comments section and then the last one We're gonna talk about is how to buy a home with Bitcoin and this was just a quick snippet The second largest US mortgage lender will accept payment in Bitcoin United wholesale mortgage I don't know who they are. I've never heard of them But apparently they just came about Announced plans this week to accept crypto for home loans and an apparent first for the national mortgage industry Company hopes to start accepting Bitcoin and Q3 and it's currently weighing other digital currencies like ether So again these institutions they can only wrap their head around Bitcoin to theorem Bitcoin theorem So when they get into this they're like, okay, we'll take Bitcoin does that make sense? So what do you think we're gonna be in like five years when they figure out all these smokes? There's this thing called DeFi and we can do all these things on uniswap. What's a swap? What's a pancake swap? What the heck is going on? Where am I? They're not gonna know what hit him so Yeah, that really is what it comes down to I in my personal opinion. I would just say this I I Wouldn't use my Bitcoin To pay for my house what I would what I would do what I've done in the past I think a lot of people who have watched this channel know I use Celsius and I put up I put up my Bitcoin as collateral and they gave me cash And I put a down payment down for an investment property in Puerto Rico for one of my condos and that Was I just borrowed money? It really what it came down to and what's great about that is we use we do this for short-term rentals It's Airbnb. It's it is rented 24 7365 that place because Puerto Rico was a pretty good destination for travelers and they want short-term rentals So really what that did for me is just I got a you know another investment property which I could you know siphon out funds and I've almost back to getting my Bitcoin back. So Again, not investment advice just a best opinion, but you can do things like that My friend James over vest answers had a really smart comment and I've heard this before which is never sell Just just borrow just borrow as much money as you possibly can because then you can put it into These types of assets like land like homes and things like that because if you can borrow it at You know, whatever it is 3.75 4.25% and you put it into a home which appreciates at 15 20 50 percent depending on where you're at you're gonna come out way ahead and That's something that it doesn't even involve in this channel. So I shouldn't even mention it. All right So that's what's that's what's going on in that piece. And then I just want to touch real quickly Hopefully I can get through this and we'll do a little Q&A Jeez is real-world use cases so I put this out on Twitter and I asked the question I just said hey, what's what is everyone using crypto for in terms of real-world use cases because I just Thought like this was this is really where mass adoption comes from. So a lot of people This was from crypto hoops. Whoops. That's not what I wanted to do Crypto hoop says he was just in Mexico and a lot of the street vendors are missing out on so much money opportunity If only they accepted crypto, I had no pesos on me as the majority of everything we did was prepaid Yes, when you go to Mexico like we go to to Juarez first of all We just use cash, but if you're gonna do like prepaid cards You got to go to a kiosk give them the money there's a transaction for you They give you the cards then you can actually go out if you want to do something like that But we just use cash, but yeah, like I mean right now if someone could use and then in the comments Put it in there real quick about what what kind of wallet you would use because I thought this is a pretty good idea because someone said Using it as this and someone also said that everywhere they go they tip people they tip their Their waiter waitresses in crypto and they just ask them. Hey do you use crypto? They didn't say which wallet they'd use and I thought well, maybe like the Bitcoin the Bitcoin comm wallet I know people sometimes like Bitcoin cash, but it is really fast and The fees are pretty low So something like that and then some and then if you have any other wallet that you use Let me know because I was like I think I should start doing that because everything that we tip to the waiter waitresses Of course, they have to include that and they have to put it somewhere else But if they could just say hey, you know, let me see me just use your QR code. Let me scan that boop Here's 20% and off you go. I just thought it was interesting. So that was just one piece Let me go back here and then Investment vehicle sure Cheaper Somebody's waiting for the world mobile token. Just me too I'm an advisor, but it doesn't really do much for me As far as an advisor for world mobile token that just gives me the option to start a node Which I will be doing as soon as I can actually buy the dang coin Uh Let's see holding till I cash in right now just staking Of course everybody can stake and then again watch the video on avalanche you can stake there We've also got a cardinal stake pool if you want to stake there another thing about cardinal. I gosh, I forgot about this Have we seen like the prices these days? Sweet mary and joseph. It's crazy So look at this. I mean 2.15. I think the highest we've ever won was like 2.5 trillion 2.6 trillion And we've got bitcoin. That's almost a 49,000 I think it did touch 49 the therms at 3200 ada number three spot 250 249 And uh, it is one of the ones that I kept all the way since 2017 And I will tell you that it's uh, it's gonna do pretty good with the smart contracts. I know people will say It's a ghost chain nobody builds on it blah blah blah and smart contracts and mike nova grants Maybe I don't know but uh, I think it's gonna do pretty well and then finance coin XRP watch out dollar 26 And everything's going up today. It's just a great day and this is like like I talked about in the beginning This is the day where you're happy that you did this and you bought during the dip You did the exact opposite because you can you you reap the rewards a lot of people don't do that So yeah, congratulations. It ain't easy. Maybe it's tough All right, so let's see mostly holding At the moment just nft marketplace nft is gonna be so big Not just for the graphics not just for the music not just for the art but also for Uh mortgages for titles for land opportunities or for you know to record your land Also for uh patents. I mean nft is gonna be the place to be the big question is Can we do everything on ethereum? Uh, I think we could if ethereum 2.0 comes out and does what it's supposed to do But I think uh, there's other options that could help it out. Uh, I'm a big ethereum holder. I'm a big cardano holder I'm a big avalanche holder. So, yeah Let's see build wealth casino Loads of money and Retirement And this was a good one. I have the crypto.com card and I'm a miner I'm literally all in on crypto and spend it daily and what they're I was kind of hesitant to even recommend crypto.com also if because When I saw I was like, uh, I don't really know but a lot of people told me they like it and seems to be doing pretty well I know there's a big hubbub about the crow token and or the cro And how they did all that but it seems to be doing pretty well And then a lot of people are actually using the cards. I don't know specifically if uh, if americans can Do fiat transfers. I'm not sure on that one, but I mean they have the the yield is pretty great uh, also If you look in the description, there's all the different exchange of wallets I use and you can sign up They're all affiliate links. Just so you know So if you can't stand affiliate links and you don't want to get 25 to 50 bucks in in bitcoin to you then don't use the affiliate links go straight to the The places whatever they are and uh, hopefully go to the right one. Don't get scammed Let's see. I'm using eith And but some and then there was somebody that talked about this They're like, hey, I'm using What I'm doing for for real world use cases besides nfts. I'm playing on nft game, which is uh, axi infinity And uh, first of all, look at me look at me Look, I'm not a big gamer Shocker, but uh, a lot of people are they seem to love it and I was like I had to, you know, sit down and just figure out exactly. I'm like, what the heck is axi infinity So if you don't know what axi infinity is, it's a game you can play and yet Uh, uh, the token itself and here's the gameplay. I saw this little video and I'm like, what is it? What do you do an axi infinity to to get all these tokens? This is what you do Apparently you battle battle here and there and and uh xp points and all this stuff and cards and And the stuff I used to play back when I was a kid, but uh, you know, that is the game in and of itself so If you want to learn about all the greatest nfts and games and things like that go over alex backers channel He seems to really harp in on that. That's his new thing But uh, yeah, I mean look if you're making money playing a game like this Awesome, go ahead and do it and keep going at it. So yeah, so there's that part what we have here And then also somebody said that they're mining That's that's their world will use case and I found this article That I think as time goes on more people are going to be mining all different types of cryptocurrencies uh My son Callie he he mines helium and uh, he's got a helium miner Set up on the top of his apartment complex in in LA and uh, he's like, yeah, it's great. I just Set it up and uh, I get helium and I'm just I just mine it and I make a lot of money and He explained all everything to me and I'm like that makes a lot of sense I should get a helium miner although right now it's like six months But there's an article I found that uh, a 14 and nine year old are making 32 000 bucks a month By mining a therium and it's just really just real quick It just talks about how their dad was into crypto and and then they got into it and then this was the crazy thing Uh, they, hold on. Where is it their business was initially housed in their garage? But as it has grown They move most of their rigs to an air conditioned data center in downtown Dallas And between the two locations they only spent about 2500 2500 bucks a month on energy bills So imagine a 14 year old a nine year old making 30 000 a month Mining Yeah, I think we're in the right place at the right time So not too shabby and then another piece as far as like like real world use cases people say that they They borrow from Celsius. I do the same thing and uh It's like the big stuff right there and that's Essentially it so let me know what you do as far as like your real world use cases and now let's uh, let me go back And let's uh, let's do a little q&a shall we? Go from there. All right All right, all right Yes, I know I've been gone for a while. It's uh, sorry like, uh He just got a little sick I don't I don't ever get sick and this was one of those times even even did the uh the the covid test That was negative. Just I don't know. Maybe too much travel and too much stuff and everything else. All right So, where are we? Are you sure you're alive? I'm pretty sure all right Gbs welcome back even miss. Thank you Good afternoon. Rob. Your old voice is back. Yeah, pretty much man that and that voice after that is pretty bad Thanks for avalanche the best. Thanks. Remember the avalanche deep dive. It's a link in the description It's right below the actual title of this video. She'll check it out Back in the day of earlier this year digital asset news He used to go live the proof of these old days of june as true We still a lot of live streams. It just got a little bit too much Crypto warriors. I'm not fool and never sell just accumulate. I'm only gonna see you I got I got hex to room for it all. Look. I mean, I don't care what you what you what you're into I just don't If it makes money it makes sense And uh, that's it as long as it doesn't uh, you know scam other people out of their money. That's really the big thing Don't ever diversify 15 20 coins max is reasonable. That could be hate that Your goals are not my goals. That sounds pretty reasonable too. Why not? Uh, hello from atlanta I bought a tops NFT pack of cards on avalanche. What a disaster. That took like 10 hours to get into never again. Yeah That's a bummer Yeah, I do look like rob rob is dan because it's dan Dan black rock doesn't get into crypto because they believe in it They invest in so they can control it. You do their institutions economic black don't not really look They're just investors, right? They're not the evil empire that people think that black rock is and it may be some subsection but Really what they do is they look at the at the fundamentals and go Okay, what are people into what's going to make a big impact the next 1 3 5 20 50 years and we'll go for those those businesses and uh, if they didn't believe in crypto they wouldn't have invited or invited invested into riot and Marathon that's just the long and the short of it. That's all those companies do is mine bitcoin So there is no other reason other than the fact that they see the demand and they see what's going to happen So yeah, that's it. I just it just does kind of tick me off when he gets, you know, think you know the CEO of black rock and uh he got uh God what's the name scott minard from guggenheim Coming out and saying that bitcoin's going to 15 000 and they're like, oh, yeah, we're also offering it to our richest clients jerk Anyhow Celsius now break is off. Yeah, it's true watch Uh proof of burn. What's your opinion? Yeah And there was a a little piece about what charles husk and was talking about as far as proof of burn I'll get to that in a second. Oh, what's this? Super chat michael hubbard just to show love medics lead the way. That's right Medics do leave the way 91 brah Thanks, man. Appreciate it. Dan. Do you like xrp? I love xrp xrp is going to do great And uh, there's this video and every time I I talk about it. I sold all my xrp You know why? It was a great tax deduction because there's this thing called wash trading Which you can't do in the stock market, but you can do in crypto because so far crypto is a commodity Uh, or is a susie me excuse me property So I sold it all bought it all back and I took a massive loss on paper Yeah And I think it's gonna do well and look even with even with even with the Um Case not going not being dismissed. They're still doing great The last news I still remember you picking xrp to the quarter. That's right And then what do you think about a ch automated clearing house for banks? I think it does Hey, dan, you please let us know your views on the sell token hasn't appreciated in value. That's quite odd I mean it all it has kept its value hasn't depreciated. It's kind of unstable I'll take it If you like stable coins, I guess Belt and Holochain no thoughts. I don't uh, I haven't gotten into a Holochain Need to do a deep dive in that one an avalanche transfer is still relatively pricey No, I actually in my video I did it It was like between 20 and 25 cents for For transfers very very simple as far as the transaction Rob, what do you think about borrowing from a Celsius to pause the usd slow in an 8 point interest and generate profit? That's uh, that's a risky proposition especially with black swan events You can do that. I just so The question is do you want to put up your your crypto? And here's the thing you can do that But if you want to take a loan out in Celsius, you have to back it with crypto So like with the bitcoin that I put up Yes, the loan was 1 but you have to also remember that I'm losing the 4.25 percent yield that I would have gotten If I would have just kept the bitcoin there on the Celsius platform So it's actually 1 plus 4.25 percent. I'm losing to get that loan To get that condo Still worked out for me So if you're just looking for doing that for 8.8 percent, I would not do that And that's it right now that dynamic. All right, everybody So I wanted to keep this short and sweet I just had to do something to get out of the funk of not doing a couple of videos because I've been sick So I want to do a live one. So first of all Thanks, I appreciate you stopping by if you like the video give it a thumbs up Uh consider subscribing all I think we talk about our time sensitive everything we talk about is the news And that's it for today. So, um, uh tomorrow what I want to be want to talk about I'm just going to give you a quick little preview Is There was this really good piece from my man Sheehan Shandra Sakara And he talks about how the rich never sell ever and he gives us 10 rules And I'm going to go into detail with that. Maybe I'll get she hand on to talk about it But uh, he's a certified CPA and it was just a fantastic piece. So, uh, we'll talk about that tomorrow about never selling Just doing loans appreciative assets Building companies paying yourself a low salary and so on and so forth. So we'll talk about that tomorrow But that is it for today. So look, thanks for stopping by appreciate it and we'll see you on the next one. Have
