 Great question. Clays, let me get rid of this banner, Rob did you continue DCing? So the plan was, I have been DCing since 2017, but as you recall, last week, I was like, I'm gonna stop DCing for this week because this was, I felt that when the CPI numbers came out on Friday, I go, there's no way they're not gonna be low, unless they straight up lie to us. I'm like, the inflation's all around us. I can tell, and when those CPI numbers come out and they're hot, what's that gonna do? It's gonna junk the market. And then I'll just wait for it to go down and I will buy there. And I said, I couldn't be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. I said, but if it is that, if it is the case and the CPI numbers do come out positive or come out low, then I'll just wait for those numbers and I'll immediately buy as much as I can because the market will probably go up. Well, it worked out the way that I thought it would. CPI numbers are high. I think the Fed Reserve meeting is Wednesday. They're gonna come out and say, three quarter basis points or one full basis points. That's what I think. I could be wrong. And I think it's gonna go down even more because that's not priced in, sorry. So what I did was I bought a little bit on Friday and I'm gonna wait again on Wednesday. And I was gonna, the money that I usually put into Bitcoin, I will just save it up and wait for the Fed to come out. I still think if the Fed comes out and says 0.5, it'll still go down. That's just how it is. So I think we got a lot more pain to go but DCA is the safest way. Just right now, just buying the dips. Like I haven't talked about that for a while. I don't, I'm all dipped out a long time ago. So I just do the basis that I can but not, there's only two walls I buy and that's it. All right. Hope to answer your question. What? What? How dare you? The king of the ship. Well, you have a point. All right. So then we go there. What is this? Ben Cowan's, my escape. Ben Cowan's other call for possible something. And he did say that I listened to his, I don't know if that was for his members because he's got a great website app.inthecryptiverse links in the website, non-affiliate link. Go check that out. A lot of great data and charts on there. And I did in one of his shows. He said, yeah, we could see around 20K. And he always has the same thing. I could be wrong. Hopefully he's wrong. Let's see. Hey, Rob, is there any new promising crypto products being built to release these bear days? Yes. And it's called Sweatcoin. I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do a deep dive video not on this channel. This is not the channel to do deep dives into the degenerate new projects. That's for Dan DGen. This channel is the basics. Get you through, get your mindset right so that you can deal with the things that are coming about. And then Dan DGen, we just talk about the crazy stuff that you can gamble on. That's it. If you wanna lose all your money, go watch Dan DGen. That's what I always say. And if he makes some money, well, sure. Rob, with your properties or your renting houses, do you own apartments? Just wondering what they look like. So my wife owns apartments. So I guess I do. But we own houses and we rent them all out on Airbnb and Verbo. And right now, travel is still pretty good. But what's great about that is that, like in Houston, people still come to Houston for jobs or people get relocated. So that works out pretty well. And people in El Paso is a thriving military community. So that'll always be there. And then just remember that even if you have properties that you usually use for rentals for vacation or you're doing whatever it is, short-term rentals, just remember that just like in 0809, if there's a big economic, big, big pullback, people still gotta live someplace. And they may unfortunately lose their houses. And that sucks. That's the reality for a lot of people, you know? Especially when job markets start to dry up if that actually happens. So if that happens, people gotta, they can't afford houses, but they gotta rent someplace. And that's why you would be in a great position to rent out any of those properties that you potentially own and hopefully give those people a nice price break for going through hard times because you're a compassionate person. That's it. That's funny, Bootsy. Let's see. I've been adding, Benji says, I've been adding beachy on these dips. Nobody's talking, so I'm walking over to you. Heard there was a partnership between them and UFC. I don't know if that was a long time ago. I don't know. So he says, dodgy. There's a lot of dodgy things out there, let's be honest. I met a lot of dodgy people and consensus. I'll tell you that. Shilling sweat coin, you better believe it. It's awesome. So I, again, for these deep dives, just so you know, like over in Dandigen, we've done three so far. We've done Gensokishi, which worked out great. Ever done pretty good and fame worked out great too. And in the old days of the pump and dumps, ICOs, what people would do is they would say, let me talk about your coin and then I will dump it on my people. So that doesn't work anymore. That doesn't happen because then those people aren't here anymore. See, I plan to be here for the next five, 10, 15 years as long as I can mentally keep doing these things. So for these projects, they're like, do you want in? Sure, I want in. Great, well, you got to pay us because if you want the coins, that's how it works. Also, if you want to get some kind of head start, that's fine, but you're not going to get any deals. And we're definitely going to give you a lockup period and it's going to be more than the other ones. Oh, and also if you want to do anything, then you're going to have, you have to have somewhere people on, okay? So really in general, what I'm doing is I still got to pay just like you. And what does that mean? That means that if I'm going to talk about, that's why I talk about like, I every so often I'll talk about against Okishi and fame, never done because I still own those and I want them to do well. So yes, I am biased on these things, but because I own them. So if you hear me talking about it, you're like, oh, Rob must own that. That's it. I'm very biased. Rob is not cool. Rob hasn't been cool for a long time. Thank you. Let's see. What projects are you investing in? A lot more Bitcoin now. Ethereum scares me. Ethereum scares me because this mergers and things are just not as smooth as what we, no one really thought it was going to be smooth. I'm not, why am I lying? Everybody thought it was going to suck and it was going to be awful and it was going to go through a lot of things. I mean, only like the super, super Ethereum actually like, oh, it's going to be so awesome. It's going to be great. It's going to happen like no problem. Yeah, right. It's like trying to change an engine as it's going down the highway. It's super tough. Tim, I had those guys, the developers are doing it, but there's been problems abound and one of the people I talked to who owns a pretty big project, top 50 crypto, he's like, yeah, yeah, Ethereum is AOL. He's like, Ethereum is the AOL of crypto. He's like, it won't be here forever. I was like, maybe. But again, that's just hearsay. No one knows. Thoughts on Theta mainnet coming soon. Thank God, I've been holding on to that for way too long. I should have sold all that, but I just, I sold enough to take some profits. I was good. Again, I have an inability to sell everything at the top perfectly and a bad disposition of trying to buy everything at the very low bottom. It never happens. I don't think anybody can do that either. So that's it. But yeah, that would help out. I like Theta. I mean, the team and the people that are behind it. I mean, even Google was a validator for Pete Sakes, an enterprise validator. And then you got Steve Chen from YouTube, who's on the board or board or advisors or whatever else. So, I mean, they do a good thing. It's just, you know, who knows? Yeah. Gareth Salloway calling for sub-2, 20K Bitcoin. That is very true. My IPA is spaced us from the Leysian. Leysian. Dana, do you think when the recession will be confirmed will be the best time to buy the dip? No, I think as soon as, see here's the thing, me personally, I think we're in a recession right now. There's other analysts, Bank of America and whoever else, they don't think there's gonna be a recession until 2023. I think this next quarter will confirm it. And I'm not an economist. I'm just some guy in a pool room talking to you. But I look around and I see the prices and I see the problem with supply chains and I see the problem with lockdowns and the different things that actually rev up and do and the Ukraine war is not gonna go anywhere for quite some time. I just don't see the narrative of how we positively break out of that and go, okay, now we're growing. I just don't see it. I maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't. So, what's gonna happen is they're gonna officially call a recession. People are gonna freak out, like, oh my God, this is it today, is the recession, sky's falling. And then they're gonna go, they're gonna hoard their cash and the market will drop and crypto will go way down because it's a risk on asset. And that'll be like that until the end of the year. Sorry. I know. Rob is all full at Hopium. This is true. Sorry. And again, could be wrong, hoping wrong. Ah, looks like, yeah, go follow Gareth. I do like, you know, one thing about Gareth, I do like he's just, he's not like pounding the table and like, this is definitely gonna happen. Like some of these, some of these people who, you know, what ticks me off is that people who call for a depression every single year since 1998, and they're like, this is the year and they're wrong and this is the year, this is been wrong and this is the year. And they do it for like 20 years in the time that like we do actually have a recession. Like, see, told you, like, you said that for 20 years. I got a broke watch. It's right twice a day. FOMO out there, everybody. We science and facts. Gavin, what is the founder of Polkadot and CEO of Web 3.0? Could be. Rob, you sold all your ETH. I was actually accumulating ETH. I still have a decent amount, but as it starts to go down, I mean, at this point, who knows how far I could go. I mean, we could go down another 50%, it's 80%. That's just the nature of crypto. I'll probably be looking at it, especially if there's any more bad news about the merge and dropping blocks and things like that. I have to start unloading Ethereum, just go into Bitcoin. Ben said it pretty well. He said, bear markets are when everybody or when the most people become Bitcoin maximalists. Ah, yeah. Patrick, I told you. For the top five coins, you're accumulating. So, I mean, Bitcoin is the main one. It's the safest one, the most volatile market. USDC works out pretty well. And here's the other thing, this between us, is that, like, I know Celsius has good yield and people like it, whatever else, but I mean, it seems like there's so, there's things that came out. I've had Alex on the show and he explains this and other things come out and he has to come back and explain this. I'm not saying anybody's guilty. I'm just saying sometimes when there's smoke, there's fire. Me personally, what ticked me off was, and they had to do this, I suppose, accredited investors. April 15th, if you're in the United States and you're not an accredited investor and you put in after April 15th, you don't get yield on it. Before that, if you put it in, you were or were not an accredited investor, meaning you made over $200,000 or $5 million in a business. You're fine. So, I think that was like a big Ben, the knee type of thing to the regulators, which I'm sure they had to do, I suppose. But I had Steve, like the CEO of Voyager on, I'm like, how's that working out for you guys? And he's like, yeah, I don't know what they're doing, but we don't have a problem with that. And we're still giving yield. They just roll out their Voyager Loyalty Program 2.0. So, if you're an American, not an accredited investor, I don't know why you'd use Celsius. I personally have a good amount on Voyager. Again, I don't keep a lot. I don't keep like 50% of my portfolio into one exchange. That's foolhardy. That's ridiculous. Control yourself, control the money that you have, control the crypto and put it onto your ledger. That's it. Wow. Kryptonian, thank you. Glad ETH merger was delayed. 22 years has not been a good crypto year. Could you imagine what a mess would have been if ETH merger was another Luna? The way met a crypto. I gotta tell you, there's two sides to that story. And I misquoted this last time when I was talking about businesses that have been started up in like pretty bad recessions and things like that. I said PayPal for some reason, but PayPal has been around since like the late 90s. So, sorry about that. But, but, but, but, just so you know, there's been some pretty decent companies that have been started up. And one thing PayPal was thinking about this. You know, Venmo was started during that big recession. Venmo 2009, Groupon 2008, Instagram, and Uber, Pinterest, Slack, Square was started, Square was started in 2009. And some, that's about it. There's some other stuff, but I haven't really got it. But just so you know, like there's two ways to look at this, like I was talking to Oleg, the CEO of Sweatcoin. I'm like, is this the good time to do it? He's like, no better time now. I mean, he's like, the market's pretty bad. We could actually use a little bit of good news. And I was like, yeah, it's true. So, I mean, he's like, well, see, I do like the utility on that one. That is for sure. Okay, Tesla, yeah, Tesla. I own some. No, it's a great idea. Paul says, what about starting a self storage facility for a side gig during Market Crash? There is an app right now that you can download. I forgot the name, but just like it's a sharing economy type of thing. Just like you can share your house on Airbnb, you can share, you can use your car and pick up strangers on Uber. I forgot the name of the app, but you can use your parts of your location and have people store things there and just accumulate some kind of revenue for that. So why not? Same thing happened in 2017, 2018. I thought it was gonna be a millionaire because everybody told me I was because that's what crypto was supposed to do, remember? Didn't work out like that, but that's okay because then I just doubled down into my businesses and just grew them over the next couple of years. And then of course, dollar cost average and it worked out great, but that was just me. Can't tell you what to do. Markey seriously is back again. Where'd she go? Legend. Everybody's on Markey. Markey's been around, she knows things. Yeah, we'll see, there you go. Paul says, all the storage companies here are fully occupied. Great, then do that. Side hustles are awesome. Make that extra money, stock it away, do what you wanna do. This is the time to do it, I think. Again, I can't even put that out. When no customers starve, they will know why Fiat is bad, but it'll be two of them. Look, here's another thing. Like, I know we all think and we all want Bitcoin to become like the reserve currency of the world. That's not happening anytime soon. So let's just get that out of the way. And as far as like, like store of value and things like that, I mean, even Peter McCormack is from what Bitcoin did. He says, look, he goes, I gotta tell you everything's an S coin, except for these stable coins, which are built in other platforms, like Ethereum, like Tron. He goes, if you're making 400 bucks a month and your Fiat is being inflated away and you put it into Bitcoin, Bitcoin goes down 20%. That's a big deal if you make 400 bucks a month, but you put in a stable coins and it stays there. And whatever your currency is for your country, he goes, I can't disagree with that logic. So I'm just saying, there's sides of everything. Laundromats, yeah. Historically, let's see this'll be good. Historically, when young asset class in our bear market, it takes everyone down. When exiting, existing, exiting. A bear market most balanced, but only a few continue to move higher, the ones that prove themselves. Yeah, that's why I said, like, we need this recession, because now we can figure out which ones of these projects are the real deal, actually do something and have utility and aren't backed by just these crazy VCs who think that they can just pump everything up and it'll just work just because they have money. Show me the community, show me the utility, show me the team and show me the tokenomics. And let me see just how far it actually can go. And a lot of these projects are either gonna go to the wayside or probably what I think is that bigger projects will start to absorb the smaller projects. It worked out pretty well for Amazon as they absorbed all those different warehouses and like a Zappos and Whole Foods and just name a litany of different other businesses. And it worked out pretty well for Facebook as they absorb like WhatsApp and Instagram and stuff like that because that's just what big businesses do and they become juggernauts. So that's what I think a lot of these big products will do is just absorb other ones. All right. No, Kahandra, not yet. I'm waiting, I'm gonna wait again for Wednesday. I still think we gotta, I think Jay Powell's gonna come out and say, hey, 0.75, that's it. Here's a good point. The government loves your side hustles as long as you keep paying taxes and refrain from critical thinking you do whatever you want and they will love you. And here's another thing. So, you know how people say cash is trash? I'm not saying I've personally done this. However, if I perform a task or people need a good or service and they happen to pay me in cash, you know what's great about cash? No one's gotta know about it. That's not saying that I've ever done that with any of my businesses and I'm just saying it can be done. It's very hard to track that as long as it's not like, you know, million of the dollars. So just saying. And on that note, I should probably get out of here before YouTube shuts me down. You know what? Last question, I just saw this. Do you lend and earn using your ledger? So I was just screwing around with my ledger today matter of fact, moving some things around. And I saw that I can do loans and things like that but I don't think that's for my country. I'm in the United States, specifically right now I'm in Texas. So I'm pretty stringent maybe in other parts of the world but I don't think I can. That's it. All right, everybody. So look, it's 48 minutes. Sunday, let's get out of here. Enjoy the day and think about what we talked about which was yes, there's probably a recession coming. Yes, there's a lot more pain coming for some people but you're not like everybody. Remember, these are huge opportunities. It's just how you play it. So that's it. So look, if you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up, consider subscribing. All things we talk about are very time sensitive especially today and that's it for today. So thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate everybody and I'll see you on the next one. Adios.
