 Good Sunday, everybody. Thanks for stopping in. I don't know if it's a morning for you over the night, but I just want to do a quick video on the weekend. Just take a look at some different results that we've seen across dollar cost averaging versus lump sum as we take a look at the cryptos and digital assets that I've invested into and how things have progressed so far. So real quick, there was a video that we did, gosh, just three or four days ago. And where I talked about lump sum and we took a look at how that would look like as compared to like dollar cost averaging. And there was some pretty good findings as far as like lump sum. Again, it was all about timing the market and really putting it down when you wanted to like put all your money into it. And of course, if you had done that in 2017, you'd been a genius, right? But then moving forward, if you've done it the peak of 2021, even a moron. And of course, it's all these things about what people want. That's the great thing about the show is I just tell you what I'm doing. And then of course you can make the best decision for you. So I just took a look at some different cryptos that were out there and I put a big swath all over. And actually only like two or three actually made it as far as dollar cost averaging, if we would have started in 2022, January 1st, which was the beginning of the actual decline. And I'll get to this in a second. I just want to just share some news with you real quick about some concerning concerns, I would say, about Binance. Now, there's a lot of, and of course we'll get to the DC, I think, just like in three minutes. But as far as Binance goes, there's been a lot of fun, a lot of problems, a lot of issues that have been coming out, but I just see things stacking up and I just have to bring those to your attention. What you do with it is of course up to you. I'm just showing you what the information that I have. So this was from OpenSea and OpenSea stated, we've decided that the cost to continue supporting Binance Smart Chain outweighs the impact. I didn't say anything about the cost because the cost for Binance Smart Chain is actually quite low. So the question is, why are they stopping support for Binance Smart Chain? They said, starting today, you will no longer be able to create new listings for or make new offerings on Binance Smart Chain's NFTs. That was just one thing which really wouldn't be a big issue. However, there was a tweet that I saw this morning from Marty Party. And this gentleman here hosts the crypto spaces, crypto macro analysts, blockchain enthusiasts. And he comes out and he says, there's a reason BNB has not dropped below 212. Binance has BNB lacked loan liquidity at $212 down from 220 after the margin was added in June. The rationale was this. CZ Binance is in self preservation mode, selling Bitcoin from the wallet of Plank. I'll show it to you in a second for Tether or TUSD, TrueUSD and buying BNB to save his exchange chain from a fatal margin call. And this is where it gets wacky. US regulators are selling down the US Marshals holdings to force liquidate BNB loan to drive CZ Binance out of the industry, Cat and Mouse game. And I linked Marty Party's Twitter account and you can check it out. And he says, yeah, it's still being defended. 215 is the thing. I took a look and so far he's right. If we take a look over, this is the past 24 hours. I don't really care so much about that. Over seven days, okay, 2508 right on the dot. 14 days, same thing. 30 days, 90 days, 180 days. I don't know about one year. Yeah, one year only smokes. So it was just interesting. And then of course the Bitcoin wall that they referenced, you can just see that there's been a lot of selling of Bitcoin of this wallet. If this is the Binance wallet, I have no idea it's not labeled for me, but I linked this in the description, you can find it out. But you can see there's some buys here, 207, 213, 107, but there's just a sea of red. And this is not like over days. This is August 20th. All this is August 20th, 2023, it'll be today. And you can see that it's quite a bit of red moving forward. So I don't know if that's the case. And then also there's a big issue. I, an issue with Ugo Labs and a bunch of different NFTs, some large NFTs that are out there. And just when I was looking for this story and I typed in OpenSea on Twitter, if you type in OpenSea or a lot of things, you don't you get just a boatload of scams that are out there. Oh, not too bad right now. So forget what I said. Just stuff like this, not great. But if you didn't know Ugo Labs for Board A Newton Club and the other ones are CryptoPunks and such, is that they're going to pull their support. Ugo Labs will begin the process of sun setting support for OpenSea's seaport for all upgradeable contacts, new collections, and the whole thing came down because they're not supporting dividends for our royalties for the creators and they're going against that. So that's a big chunk of OpenSea. So that's what's going on in the news right now for NFT, what not, but to get back to what we're here for the results. So let me just wipe this out real quick. This is going to make a lot more sense in a bit. And as you can tell, first of all, let's put this in dark mode so it doesn't blow out everybody's eyeballs. All right, that's better. So I'm using Ben's website into the Cryptiverse. There's a link in the description. Actually, you can use this DCA simulation for free and you can sign up on it under the free tier. There's a link in the description. Excited to sign up. I got a 10% off for the first month for it. But you can see that if we start a dollar cost averaging Bitcoin, 100 bucks a week, beginning on 2022, January 1st. So remember we topped out in November, 2021. And since 2022, we started to make that slow bleeding decline, which everybody loves to take a look at. And if you would have dropped in and there's different ways to do it, you could lump some, because we're going to $100 a week from 2022, January 1st to August 5th, 2023. If we would have done that for $100 every week, we would have spent $8,300 total. So if we just magically had any 300 bucks and if we lump summed it at that point, and we can also throw in a three in there, I didn't wipe it out, but I should have. We can just see that this green line here that just goes steadily up, that's 100 bucks a week. So you were actually doing pretty good for a while until around August, September, which again, August, September are like the worst months for crypto anyhow. Now you can see you started to go into water and right around here, you invested, let's go one more, so I can make this even. All right. If you did this, you invested $5,000 at this point on December 12, 2022. And your ETH would have been worth 3,500, the lump sum of $8,300, the lump sum of $8,300 would have been worth 3,000. So you see that actually if you, and actually DCAing Ethereum, you would have actually been ahead by not lump summing all the way back there. And then moving forward, keep going here to the very end, roughly last week, if we would have done this, if you had a lump sum on January 1st, 2022, $8,300 would have been worth now $5,253. You've invested $8,300, ETH would be slightly up, like 500 bucks, so pretty good, congratulations. Even though you were buying pretty high over time, it kind of worked out. And if you had a DCA Bitcoin, you actually be up 1,500 bucks. So congratulations. So what I wanted to see was, well, how does that look like against some of the top altcoins, roughly in the top 20? That's what's great about this site is you can do that. So let's take BNB, XRP, Cardano, Doge, Solana, Tron, Polkadot, Matic. I'm not doing Sheba, sorry. Oh, let's just do Sheba for everybody. We'll complain in the comment section. And let's just stick with Amelange. Hey, how about Chainlink too? How about Adam? How about Monero? Okay, that's good. That's a lot of stuff. And here's how we do. So again, we started on January, I guess January 3rd. Fiddle lump sum in the Bitcoin, $8,300. And we already did this as a matter. So the big question is, well, how did everything go? Again, around September 5th, again, September, everything is underwater in September. And if you, and we did this yesterday, we took a look at the ROI. I don't like the 14 months for September, it's like 10 or 11 have been vastly negative for September. And August is the second worst. So you're seeing these two months play out. And this actually happened in 2022. You can see that even though you're a dollar cost averaging at a high point to low point, you're still underwater. You invested 3,600 bucks. Let's go to the 5,001, 45, eight, nine, there we go. So wow, at this point, December 12th, everything you dollar cost average is underwater. I mean, big time, especially Solana, look at that. 1,726. The only thing that you're up right now is Dogecoin. Don't laugh at Dogecoin. We've talked about this. And I'll show you some pieces of data. Dogecoin has been around like forever, 2014, and it's been in the top 20. Out of those nine years, it's been in the top 20, eight of those years, it's been in the top 20. So I don't know what your altcoin is, but just remember, don't dismiss Dogecoin. Could be very well. And I will ask you this, if Elon Musk, if crazy Elon comes out and says, you know what, we're gonna start using Dogecoin for payments, what even the price will happen with Dogecoin? Not a investment advice, just saying. Anyhow, Dogecoin did pretty good. And that's at this point. Now then, moving forward, we can see that. What the heck is this? Matic, one of my favorites. You would have invested 6,000 on February 20th, 2023. You'd be pretty substantial, 35% or something like that, 6,000, 9,500. Actually, you'd be up pretty well. On Tron, Adam, you'd be up, well, Tron, you'd be up 600 bucks, not a big deal. Adam and so on and so forth. So you can see that in some ways, lump sum, again, reaching the very low is awful. Again, if you would have lump summed into, like what Diddy did in January or February of 2017, you'd still be pretty sweet. All right, so moving forward, the big question is, well, which ones actually are in profit? Out of all these ones, dollar cost averaging, and let's call a spade a spade, I have invested in many of these. I am currently underwater. Cardano being the worst one. Avalanche, not too bad. I stopped dollar cost averaging for a while, but Adam, I'm underwater, I'm sure of that. Polkadot, yes, Matic, I definitely am. I don't have BNB. Solana, I just started doing Solana. I don't do shit. Look at shit, shit, but you know, actually, you know what? That's not the statement I really should be making. What I should be saying is this, is that, look, I know people talk and they say like, dollar cost averaging is the greatest thing. It is at some situations, but in all honesty, out of the beating that we just took this last couple of weeks, actually this last year and a half, it's not too bad. I mean, look at this. You invested $8,300 and you put $100 in each of these cryptos, $100 every week. Unfortunately, you are underwater on Monero, on Chainlink. But how much? Well, Monero, you're down $62. Not bad. Chainlink, $500, Dogecoin, $600, Shiba, Solana, everything else. The ones that beat it, dollar cost averaging, this is crazy. It will, first of all, is Bitcoin, obviously. That makes sense. You invested $8,300, you're up roughly 1,500. 1,400. XRP, you're up big time. Congratulations for everybody who, dollar cost averaging XRP, I didn't do that. And you know what else is up? Tron, TRX. So, for all these things that we talk about and how we say, ah, it's a ridiculous chain and it doesn't only do anything, well, there's some of your data right there that, look, sometimes it does pretty well. And that's it. So, look, I think that as time goes on, it's not like this is the worst thing of all time. This is the time when, if your dollar cost averaging, this is not the time to sell, not for me at least, and go from there. And the one thing I would like to real quick talk about is that little piece that I showed you of Dogecoin. Just wanna talk about this again real quick. Ha ha ha, Dogecoin. So, I just find this fascinating that this was a snapshot from 5th of January, 2014. I think Dogecoin, I wanna say it was created in 2013. The end of 2013, yes, end of 2013. Yeah, it was created on December 6, 2013. That's why I put it there among myself. It's been on the top 31 crypto for a decade. It's a fork of Luckycoin, which is a fork of Litecoin, which is a fork of Bitcoin. So, for the maximalist, they're like, hey, at least we got some genealogy and it's pretty good. So, Dogecoin on the 5th of January, 2014 was ranked 16th. On the 4th of January, 2015, it was ranked nine. 2016, 6th. 2017, which is a pretty good year, 14. 2018, got a 29. 2019, it was 24th in the rankings, 31st in the rankings of 2020, and then it makes a little bit of a comeback. 2021, it was number 26. Just last year, it was number 12, and then right now, it's in the top 10. So, I know people will say, ah, that's ridiculous, but I tell you right now, it's not a bad chain for what it is. And then, taking a look at, again, you can do this yourself. When you sign up for the, in the crypto verse for the free tier, just take a look at if you dollar cost average from, and I just picked a 2016 point. If I had a dollar cost average Dogecoin with a hundred bucks a week, it'd be worth in 20, at a tip of 2018. So, just, wow, just two years that I made half a million dollars. It's not bad. And then, if I would have started on 2018 and sold the peak of 2021, at a hundred bucks a week, you'd have 3.2 million. So, I'm not telling you what to invest. I'm just saying, a lot of these chains that we say are just ridiculous and whatever else. They do have some lakes. So, that's it. So, look, that's it for today. If I liked today's video, give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing.
