 Great. Welcome to the last set of news and welcome to the livestream. So we got a lot of things to go over and not a lot of time So let's just jump right into it and just get going. So first up We're gonna take a look at this one metric that no one really has been talking about and I can tell you it looks like There's a little bit more adoption going on and people might believe also We're gonna take a look at Even though we are in a bear market. Yeah, I said it There's a lot of people investing a lot of people dumping a lot of money And like I said before this is where all the money's made people like, you know 10 trillion asset or management black rock getting into Blockchain also 0x labs getting 70 million dollars and putting that into web 3 efforts Just things like that. And also, I don't know if you knew this but 0x labs which Looks to be pretty promising. They have their own decks and you can train all the dexes at once So we'll take a look at that today and then finally we'll take a look at some news that coinbase listed The move to earn token GMT and GST and in my humble opinion, we talked about this at a deep dive I'm not really impressed with this project whatsoever. And I think I got one that might be better And it's and it's for free. So before we get in all that first of all, welcome Thanks for stopping by I appreciate it Just so you know if you're for the livestream great fantastic glad you came But if you're watching the replay just know there's gonna be timestamps underneath So you can jump around do whatever you want to do we do the news about 10 or 15 minutes Then we go to Q&A at the very end takes about five. So let's just get into it right now So first up, let's take a look at the market I don't need to tell you this, you know, what's going on. It's up today's a good day It's amazing what a little bit of time will do in the markets I mean just yesterday everybody was calling for it was gonna drop to the floor and we talked about You know these the days Watch yesterday's video. It had some some heavy hitters. We had Simon Dixon He was one of the first Bitcoin investor in 2011. He was uh early early investor into Kraken and coin based on all these different exchanges And he just said he goes look, this is where all the money is made. This is where I made all my money And I couldn't agree more. We also had Steve on or look from Voyager. He said the exact same thing He's been around since the 90s when stocks when there was no online stock trading So today, hey, we get a little bit of a recovery But again, we got a long way to go. Let's take the small victory. This is what it is Bitcoin's up 2.8 1.6 For ethereum and so on and so forth. You can read and you know the portfolio better than You know your portfolio better than I do. So everything's going pretty good. Look at a coin. Jeez 9.5 percent. See Uh, there's a bull run happening Somewhere it just doesn't always happen in the token that you actually want So that's what we have for our market. Let's see how things have been going with the earnings reports and everything going on in the traditional market surprise today's up S&P is not up by a ton, but it's looking better than what it was. Let's take a look at five day Look at those five days. Look at a month. I made six months. Geez One year. Yeah, not too bad So if you don't like The information that you're getting just zoom out and it'll look a lot better Just kidding, but not really and then lastly we'll take a look at the nasdaq and actually the nasdaq is Down a little bit, but yeah, the previous closed with 12,409. So it's up Slightly 0.0 something. Let's take a look at the five day. Again, not too great one month six month One year. It's even worse. So that's what we got for the traditional market. Let's jump into our Market and get to the main story. So this is just something that I was perusing today I took a look at into the block. It's a great website. I don't have a link But it's you can find it into the block comm. It's pretty inexpensive I think it's like six or seven bucks a month, but you get a lot of great on-chain analysis the one thing that I was looking at Not the fees. I don't really care as much about the fees was This one right here total addresses total wallets. What do you want to call it? So this is all pertains to bitcoin not the crypto market in general But bitcoin I really wanted to zoom out and see where we were There's a couple of things I need you to be aware of as far as when we're talking about bitcoin wallets because There's gonna be some people that'll say there's 270 million wallets And then some people will say there's almost there was over 900 million wallets But you got to understand what are they talking about and that's where The devil is in the details and they'll make you a better investor just to know some basic stuff So first of all if we're taking a look at total with balance That's at an all-time high and we can go all the way 2009. There was only 5000 addresses on average And of course we keep going 2015. We had a nice little bump here in 2017. Remember those days? Oh, those are good And we're looking at uh total with balance 27 and a half million addresses But then if we go up here and of course this in on the black is the bitcoin price As things were going up I mean as far as addresses go. I mean they were really Really hitting but what's crazy to me is that The total with balance there was still a lot of people that kept bitcoin in their wallet It's almost like they knew that things were going to go better and they just waited Not everybody but you can see the total of balance 37.6 37.64 And then we're going 38 and then today We're at an all-time high of 41 million addresses with balance In their bitcoin particular wallet. So that's total with balance, which is great all-time high People are sticking around. They're not selling everything and there's not one You know wallet just accumulating everything so for global domination However, let's take a look at this. There's this thing called total zero balance And you're going to see this green line almost disappear Total zero balance that means all the wallets that have ever existed that are still out there So if we take a look at that remember that total with balance, that's this green line right down here again you're looking at you know 41 million addresses But total zero balance Meaning that it's a wallet. It was created, but there's nothing in it total zero balances You've got a total zero balance of 946 million addresses So when people are talking about about wallets just just talked like what What are you exactly are you saying and there's all these numbers getting thrown out me personally If I want to see that there's actually adoption going on that, you know, maybe the bitcoin price may go up a little bit I don't really care so much about the wallets that have zero In them what I really care about is that there's wallets out there And they actually had a little bit going into it and actually I would like to see them Active and to see take a look at that we got to take a look at Last note And you can take a look here and you can break it down by one month one week one day These are the active addresses This was the number of unique addresses active the network either as a sender Or a receiver and we can see down here. Let me blow this up so you can see it It's a little bit less Then addresses with an actual amount in them a little bit less than a million so again If we're talking about Adoption this would probably be the best metric Number of active addresses moving back and forth. I'm not really maybe not. I think for me I've got actually I've got like I've got like three wallets actually So what I do is I don't really move them too far or anywhere shape actually. No, it's not true I have an analyzer So there's that one wallet and then of course I have other ones on the exchanges. That's that's the different walls So again, I think this is something that people won't talk about as much But for me when I take a look at that it looks pretty positive anyhow, let me just think about that in the comment section Let's move on to our next piece Bare markets or where the money is made I know like we talked about this yesterday I know people don't like to hear this because a lot of you I did a poll A couple a lot of months ago or so I asked you when did you get into crypto? And the vast vast majority was 2021. I was kind of surprised So I've been in since 2017 And I think if you were in 2021 you bought the all-time highs. This is not a great day for you Just like it wasn't for me in 2018 But I can't give you financial advice just financial opinion. But I can tell you for me I didn't have to do too much. I just waited I was actually very lazy and just waited for the price to go up and did now I dollar cost average on the way but Again, this is where the money is made and this is what's interesting to me Is the amount of people that are actually investing and it goes in tandem with what Simon Dixon was talking about in our video yesterday Where he talks about he's like, look, this is where all the money is made This is from blackworks says the crypto bear market You've got 9.2 billion invested through 461 equity deals just in q1 january for every march of 2022 and look at this bear market bear market bear because I can't tell you where things Well, I can't tell you when things are going but I can tell you that Uh, there is plenty of use cases for certain cryptos. They're not all gonna make it But it's interesting to me that big companies like these guys are getting into crypto Or the blockchain. So here's what we got for this one black rock lists black chain etf days after similar fidelity launch also Um, was it fidelity? Yeah, I think it was fidelity. They're offering a bitcoin 401ks too. We talked about yesterday So this what's going on black rock And don't get too excited until you hear the whole story Again, double the details black rock has launched its blockchain etf and labeled the segment a mega trend So right there that sounds good. Everybody's happy, but just wait Uh, the firm filed for in january. It seeks exposure to global companies At the forefront of the development innovation and utilization of blockchain and crypto tech This fund does not invest in crypto currencies directly. So I know that's kind of like a web blanket But it's the truth. So you have to take a step back and look at it If I was black rock, I have 10 trillion assets that are management My whole job is to grow it so my clients can be happy So if I'm going to get into businesses, I probably want to get in those businesses that probably have the most potential for growth Now, I'm going to get in those directly But you get into them by proxy, which is why a lot of people actually invest into micro strategy They're they can't get into bitcoin per se, but they can get into micro strategy because they hold so much This is the the same type of situation somewhat So I think it's positive for The market in general, but we'll see how it all plays out. So that's just that first part And then if we take a look as far as like investment and how things are going check this out Who saw this coming? 0x labs gets 70 million in series b to further web 3 and dex efforts first I didn't know they even had a decentralized exchange Here's what's going on Silicon Valley based venture capital firm graylock led the round 0x labs Provided exchange functionality functionality Uh for tokenized assets including various cryptos decentralized finance tokens and nfts So here's who got involved pantera capital. Thank you for them sound ventures a capital jump capital Remember those guys ones that bailed out for that rug pull Open sea interesting for nfts coinbase brevin howard reed hoffman and Let me let me blow this up an actor jared ledo Morbius himself Is investing into 0x that's good. I mean hopefully he'll talk about it on one of his social media channels The the firm said it would use the funding to fuel continued growth For its token search engine matcha matcha matcha As well as 0x api inaugurated multi-chain liquidity as a service before I go on As i'm talking too much. This is what 0x liquidity endpoint for defi and all different types Of cryptos phantom silo ethereum Uniswap polygon that type of thing not uniswap. That's the dex. So this is It in a nutshell uptime almost 100 per cent revert rate response time. Well, that's pretty good 1.5 seconds and as far as Matcha this is the dex and I linked this in the description so you can check it out And you can use all the different dexes and kind of combine them together For matcha. I personally have not used it so I cannot vouch for it But I can just bring it to your attention And this will be the starting point to or whatever you can do because I can tell you right now On some of these dexes, I mean the funding rates are crazy and also the slippage is ridiculous So this might be something to take a look at and then to finish up with the story Protocol has been picked up by coinbase and will power the major exchanges NFT marketplace, which this was a couple weeks ago And when I heard this news i'm like that's first of all who saw that coming who saw That 0x was going to be a big power player in coinbase's NFT marketplace However, I will say this has been a very lackluster performance for that but If we take a look at the price itself When that was announced Oh, no, it was last week. Excuse me You were treading water going sideways around 70 cents and look at that spike burp $1.13 And of course when this happens everybody thinks that they that they they missed it like oh Cram, I missed the the golden opportunity because I didn't realize that coinbase was going to pick it No one knew that but look at this just goes right back down So if you think like you missed a big wave, don't worry about it Just sit around and do nothing. It'll come back around again Not all the time, but on this situation most definitely So that takes care of that. Let me know anything about the 0x. I didn't see that one coming It's amazing to me that that worked out and lastly Coinbase again Steppen gets listed on coinbase. So I come from a different time of Of investing into crypto. Maybe you're with me in 2017 anything got listed on coin on coinbase was immediately like the next golden ticket and it would just go up now coinbase is like well list whatever tomato coin sure come on in and So they listed gmt and Gst it's a green satoshi token and then gmt is the governance token for steppen And what this is it's a it's a move to earn Applications you could download an ios and android and just you can use nfts You buy the nfts with salon or whatever that's that's on i use salon and I actually did this one actually to stop fumbling over my words Uh, we actually did a deep dive over on our second channel digital asset news degen Just so you know The degen channel is like the risky stuff. It's not for the fan of heart just expect to lose everything These are like the up and coming. They haven't even been listed. I need to talk about this one because I thought it was an interesting project and I thought there was something better on the horizon But so far I'll just tell you my experience with steppen and when I got into it people said I'm making like 500 bucks 600 bucks a day just walking like that sounds pretty good Well, I tried it and I uh, I bought an nft which is a sneaker you can watch the video link in the description And uh, I got to tell you so far the only thing I've done is repair my shoes and I walk every day Like for like an hour hour and a half Uh, just put the dogs and I'm outside working. So like I don't really make too much on this I'm like maybe I just missed the boat in this one. So, you know, whatever But then people tell me no robbie don't get it You got to you got to buy more of the nfts and more of the sneakers. You got to upgrade. I'm like, let me get this straight So I got to buy more to make more one. What's my break even point? so like You can you can check it out and see what you want to do. But for me, it was just easier just to do this there's this thing called sweat token and uh friend of the show swiss borg They uh, they had talked to me about it. Well, alex and he said hey, man There's this great thing and that's for free and it's called sweat token. I was like, okay, and uh, they're going to They're not into crypto yet But they will be this summer and just so you know, you can download it for free right now I have it on my phone. I actually use both. I use sweat token. I know you step in and I get rewards on both And uh, what's gonna happen is well, first of all, let me show you this I talked about this in the deep dive too If you're looking at like things that already have users they've already got 64 million users This is like a three-year-old app. You got 100 million new users number one app in some certain 20 countries I guess But I did say what this is what's interesting in the token in the tge the token generation event The foundation will create enough sweat or sweat tokens to match the number of sweat coins ever produced For each sweat coin your wallet you'll be able to claim one sweat without losing your sweat Okay, here's what it comes down to since I've been doing this. I haven't made that much of those gsts Yeah for uh stepping But I've got I've got almost 200 of the sweat tokens and I only use this thing for like a couple weeks actually eight days So maybe something for you to check out. I have no affiliation with them Um, I do have if you look in the description though From my app Here is the uh the link that you can download it I don't think I get anything for it. I might get like a sweat token. I'm not for sure But uh, that's something to check out and also you don't have to download or buy a $10,000 NFT. You just download it put it on your app and it just Goes so every time you're walking you get a little bit of sweat token And then of course when it goes live and you might get some crypto Anyhow, so that's what's going on Uh in the market and lastly the thing that's above my head crypto IRA or I trust capital just so you know if you're looking for a place for to Get a crypto IRA use. I trust it's one that I use using it for two years now And there's no monthly fees anymore. It's just you have uh, there's like a 1 trading fee And also if you're looking to park some of your Ball or money that you have I use masterworks and I buy these fine pieces of art But they're fractional I shares and you can find a link in the description for that as well That's just one of my Wealth preservation strategies and that's it for today. So look, I know it was how it was 18 minutes. That's pretty good Not too bad. So uh, look, that's it for today. If you got to take off, that's great Uh, just thanks for stopping by really appreciate it. If you want to stick around Let's do those five questions in five minutes and then get the heck out of here because I got to Put together an obstacle course for this charity event. So let's do it, huh? Let me stop this banner Okay So every time I ask for for questions, I always like a little delay Mr. Blue. I'm here for your daddy. Great. I'll take it Yeah GMT of 17% today. That's right that you know listing on coinbase. I guess it's not as dead as I thought it was Soul train No cash is not trash. Look if you ever want to fight hide transactions Cash is great, you know, you can do whatever you want to Some of your debit cards not in your bank. Just take it out however you want to buy. It's awesome Ask the cartel. They'll tell you but uh crypto very bad idea For uh hiding transactions very bad That's a great question question number one, uh, do you think Elon will create his own crypto? Or that he will continue to pump doge for using his projects. He's really likes doge so Who knows? I mean I would think that the guy has enough to do with uh tesla and starlink and uh SpaceX and the boring company And then the flamethrower company, but it looks like the guy's got the Maybe never sleeps. So maybe he will do that. I have no idea But uh, I will tell you this once I I saw that he Bought twitter. I bought a little dogecoin just so everybody knows and it wasn't like I bought 10 million dollars worth of it And I was like, you know what if it becomes like a I don't know some kind of Currency for twitter and tipping besides the light network might go up. Who knows? It was a kind of a d gen play as they say Oh Quit my job in november and I have to go back to work until 2024 I went with you. I remember in 2017 I was like, I'm gonna be rich and then in 2018 came around and they said no, you're not and uh, you know But it actually it was oh, I mean I got to work on my businesses and and I got to grow them I got the dollar cost average for like three years and worked out. Okay. Just didn't happen the time I want to That's just how life works, unfortunately The good thing was though is I didn't invest I didn't invest anything. I couldn't afford to lose because I knew it was super risky And uh, when I sat my wife down, I'm like, hey Market just tanked we lost like 70% of our other portfolio. It's like, well, what do you want to do? I was like, well, I'm just gonna keep buying That's it. She's like, how much did you how much is it down? I told her the percentage like what's that in numbers? I'm like, you don't want to know But it wasn't that much and she's We can afford a roof overhead and we can afford food and we're okay Good vibes, baby. Good vibes And then uh Great question juggernaut. Are you still buying voyager every day? No, I'm not I stopped buying voyager for a little bit ago Although if it goes below a dollar, I have to buy it. I mean, it's just how it is Do you want to know what I'm buying right now? I'll tell you exactly what I'm buying Uh, it's the same thing. I've been buying forever. It's like, uh, well not forever bitcoin Ethereum Is the majority of my portfolio I'm not I'm getting concerned about Ethereum, especially with their delays, which they keep having delays But it's like everybody does who knows So bitcoin Ethereum Adam Solana Luna There's one more I forgot from our tomorrow, but yeah, that's a privilege every day Why is the amatoma theta? It's growing all directions. I don't know. I still on theta I still in the exact now. I sold a bit during the bull run, but um, I don't know You know, you'll see what it has I don't know why people aren't talking about it Should be great. I mean look it's got backing from David Chen. He's a co-creator of google They have their Uh enterprise nodes one of those being google other one being sony. I got some big partners We'll see if it all pans out. Remember Not everything works out. That's how it goes Hmm It's a good question. What's the main purpose of stable coins versus usd or for the us dollar? Well, it goes like this I can tell you right now If we're talking about utility, are we talking about functionality? Well, that's kind of the same thing every time I utility or are we talking about Government control that's a bigger bigger question. So right now Here's how I see stable coins in usd or the us dollar First of all, the us dollar is getting a little bit stronger. You can take a look the dx y the dixie And you can see that yes, it's getting a bit stronger. However, it's in being inflated away Now they're trying to Retract that and we see that in in the fed they're raising rates because they want to they put all that money out They want to pull that money back in So right now, let's say it's 8.5 percent what they say That's fine But if you're if you're going to hold on a stable coin or us dollars in your bank Doesn't really do anything. You're just you're actually losing money and actually you're only me and steve talked about this from voyage yesterday He goes, we're giving you 9 percent apy On usdc, which is a stable coin and really all you're doing is treading water for the purchasing power That you have in the dollar. So that's the one part and then the main purpose of stable coins Really if you want to get in and out of positions right now as far as like with crypto and digital assets What i've seen in a lot of places is that usdc Is pretty prominent in america But if you want to do certain types of transactions for the riskier degenerate type of plays US or tether is accepted. It seems like almost everywhere So for me when I see for stable coins, it's to be able to get in and out of positions It's also a pretty good way to transfer Wealth not transfer wealth transfer not revenue transfer Purchasing power across the world in not too much time and without really much slippage That is pretty stable. You can do that in a lighting network with bitcoin but uh again You could for if you're thinking like an american like I do all the time. There's a big difference between 20 dollars That you worked an entire week for and you try to transfer that across the rails and it gets to somebody and it's only worth 1850 after like a day or so As as opposed to like an american who spends 20 they send it over and it's like it It uh depreciates a little bit. There's a big difference depending on the country that you in. So I hope that made sense. There's a long answer If coin base, let's see. Yes. I'm an early phone. Nope probably not Fatum marketing sucks probably so it's not that bad Yeah, because I gotta tell you I try to do my best But you know the older I get more grade that I have The more I realize what I all the things that I don't know That's what it comes down to so I'm just a starting point You really got to really get out there and do as much homework as you possibly can Even then it's very difficult to make the right decisions because there's so much information to absorb out there. It's very tough No, she never listens to me No, that's not true. You know why four partners pretty much For the businesses and for the real estate and for things that we do we are Like that. So when we're talking about that, yeah, but I'm talking about crypto. She's like, I don't care Well, she cares a little bit because she invests into I shouldn't say that Master blaster, are you still coming to Cardano? Nope. I'm not I did a lot of that for three straight years. I'm good I'm good And what else we got? Maddie Do you think about just holding on in anchor for now with usd? So I think it's like 19% I got to do that video on anchor protocol I got to get into that but Man, I just got so many things going on speaking of which So every twice a year me and the wife we do this Charity event for unprivileged kids here in El Paso And it's an opsel course and everything the proceeds go to the charity So I got to get out there and build that that course. It's on saturday. I mean, it's mostly built There's just some things that I got to do like put up the the ropes and the Splash pads and stutter stuff all that stuff. So that's it for today. I got to get out of here. Sorry. It's a little bit shorter But that's it for today. So look, thanks so much for stopping by. I do appreciate like today's video Give it a thumbs up if not thumbs down. Tell me why we'll go from there Anyhow, thanks so much for stopping by. I do appreciate it and I'll see you guys in the next one Adios
