 Welcome to the Bull and Bear Show episode number 25, and I'm here with my co-host, King Earl. How you doing today, buddy? Doing pretty well. I can't complain. It's a beautiful day. I've been working, so I wasn't watching hockey like you. I'm watching the dancing between hockey, basketball, and UFC right now, so it's pretty cool. Best of all worlds. Yeah, I got three different things on the go. Plus, we're live here and we're streaming on multiple devices. Do you have the picture and picture for your TV so you can watch all three at the same time? I don't. I think that's too intense. I can't do that. I like to watch them one at a time. But yeah, you know what? What we're doing on this episode, it's going to be a little different. We're going to be doing a one-on-one instead of having a group of guests with King Earl. We're going to find out more about who he is, where he's come from, his background. And what we want to do is we're going to bounce between the biggest news of the week, the biggest topics that we want to talk about. And here on The Bull and Bear Show, we talk about everything. Finance, trending news, breaking news, you name it. We talk about it and we trade it and we invest in it. And we're going to find out more about who King Earl is and his top 10 picks for crypto and his opinions on everything that's happening in the market. And we're going to be doing this with our co-hosts over the next few weeks, especially over the Christmas holidays. And I want to wish everyone that's watching also a happy Veterans Day today and a happy Remembrance Day. And I want to wish everyone who is celebrating a day today, remembering people that have fought in wars, you know, a happy day. Hopefully everyone's given them a chance to have a moment of silence and we can remember the people that have fought for us to have freedom. And obviously some places in the world have more freedom than others. And it's really scary right now, this world. There's a lot of bad things that are happening. There's also a lot of good things that are happening. So we're going to talk about all of that. And the first thing we're going to talk about is Bitcoin. So Bitcoin has been on fire. You can see it on the screen here. Bitcoin has been on an upward trajectory. We've been talking about it. You've predicted it. I've predicted it. Other members have predicted it. That it would go higher. It has gone higher. It's kind of doing exactly what we've all said it would do. It's doing exactly what you said it would do right now, going into November and going into the end of 2023. So just want to know what's your opinion right now on Bitcoin and the crypto market in general? I view the next couple of days are going to be a little bit shaky, especially with Bitcoin. There's been a couple of use cases closing and then allocated funds that are actually getting moved for Bitcoin itself. So that's what's going to cause a little bit of down spiral here. It's not going to be that big. I mean, we're only 1.5 billion. So it's not going to be too much, but it's going to end up causing a little bit of drama. But I think that the good news of the ETFs will continue to boost it along with the having coming up as catalysts for people to be buying in. We got people opening up new mining places and continued adoption is just going to continue to drive it up. Well, I appreciate your feedback on Bitcoin. Obviously, everyone knows I love Bitcoin. I have a huge Bitcoin on my desk. I do own Bitcoin in Ethereum and I've been a holder for the last few years and I've been investing in Bitcoin since 2017. And unfortunately, I've probably sold a lot of times way too soon. So right now I'm holding and I'm looking for a great exit point and I really believe that that exit point is going to come around two years to this day, almost to the day. So I'm going to try my best to hold it, but it's difficult when we're up as much as we're up. I know you're doing extremely well with your crypto portfolio and I know you like to trade all the different cryptos that exist out there. You've done very well. So I want to congratulate you on that. And my first question I want to ask you is who is King Earl? Well, I'm a social live stream media. Influencer and pretty much just somebody who likes to give out knowledge and advice from my own personal experiences and research that I do. And I just like to have intellectual conversations with intellectual people. And so intelligence goes a long way in just having something intellectual to talk about, whether it be just a debate, or we're sitting there arguing. Sometimes I might have to throw some 50 cuffs and get down at the end to prove a point, as long as it's intellectual learning. Who doesn't like to learn? There's a famous saying is the day that you stop learning is the day that you're dead. And they say you're supposed to get a wiser, the older that you get, and you can't do that without learning new things or learning things that you don't know. So past that, being on a live streamer or social been on several different platforms that started live streaming in 2006, and started getting into social media a little bit. I don't do too much networking, I just find a group of people and then I correlate with them primarily. And then Al Branch from there, people know me across multiple platforms. But I just like to learn and associate with different people. But past that, I'm from the United States in a state in the southeastern corner called Alabama. It's a very backwoods hillbilly. So, you know, we used to have a saying that I'm a high-tech redneck. You know, is what they used to say because I was all into computers and everything. I served four years in the military with a deployment in South Korea and to Iraq. And then when I got out, I went to go ahead and pursue my degree in robotics engineering and moved from there directly into logistical transport. And I now own one company and we cleared a little bit under a million dollars last year. So we're doing fairly well and just trying to move from there and tie now where to invest my money, talk to people who know about investing and see if I can make money grow like a tree. So I can shake it one day. Well, you're doing a great job. I want to congratulate you on that. And one of the topics that we've been talking about a lot obviously is Bitcoin. And we just talked about it. I want to talk a little bit more. How Bitcoin converges to its highest level in 2023, notching a 130% gain over the past year. So my question to you is, do you think that this move in Bitcoin is sustainable? Oh, yeah. It's definitely sustainable. Like I said, the only thing that we have coming up, you know, is that some of the funding that's been allocated is moving. I mean, even Elon Musk was talking about it before the beginning of the year, the Chinese were talking about it. The trillion dollar or $18 trillion earthquake that's going to be coming to crypto markets, you know. How when we never cleared over $4 trillion, you know. Your number is a little bit blown unless you're talking about Swift getting in and then pulling money and then they still got to hold it. So I mean, they're not going to be putting that much money in. And yeah, we're going to be good. You know, at the end of the day, we're good. The having's coming. We have a clear trajectory where to go. People want to make money. You know, so let's do it. Yeah. And right now I'm sitting here looking at the price of Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin is at $36,972. So it is performing extremely well. It's had a phenomenal year and it has done extremely well for anyone who's invested in it. And obviously if you bought it in 2021 when it hit $50,000 or $60,000, you're still down or even $40,000, you're still down. But for anyone that's bought it since it's been below $30,000 or even below $20,000 is up and doing extremely well on Bitcoin right now. So it's nice to see that Bitcoin is doing extremely well. And I believe that this trend will continue like you do. Yeah. Financial advice though, you know, is that there is no financial advice on here but I do see Bitcoin going down to 34,000, potentially 34,500 here in the coming week before it jumps all the way up to 42. So that's my predicament where I'm playing to. Okay. Now my question, my next question to you is why did you start trading? Well, I started trading. I actually got in and I had a couple of buddies was talking about it and I saw Bitcoin soaring and this was pre-COVID, you know, and I'm like, well, you know, I've heard a lot about Bitcoin. You know, when I was over in Iraq, Bitcoin was just coming out. I thought you could watch YouTube videos and look for Bitcoin somewhere in the background to try to mine it out of the video. I wasn't quite sure exactly what it was or how to obtain it, but I wanted it even back then. So when it became more readily available and I heard more people talking about it, I was like, I want some. Where do I get it? How do I get it? And then I bought it and then it was at $44,000 and it crashed so hard because of COVID. And I was like, oh, I just lost all this money and I don't know what to do about it. You know, I told my buddies they were all investing in Doge and Bitcoin and I was like, pull out of Doge now, pull out of Doge. And so I was involved in that and then I was live streaming one day and Blaze on here, he live streams with us. He was sitting there and one of our buddies actually came over and started talking about a crypto project that he wanted us to get our health on and our opinions. And so I was like, well, I don't know much about crypto but I'll start doing a little bit of research. So I got on the phone with Blaze and I spent about six hours tearing into the project, figuring out everything about it, making up my opinions and thoughts on it and then going and doing research on my opinions and thoughts to figure out that it was nothing but a ruck pool. And I was like, you know, we warned him but he said it was good. So we went with him and I went ahead and invested money and at the end of the project I'm the only one that profited from it and made, you know, six times of my money. So, you know, I'm not hating but that's how I got in, you know, trying to help somebody not get ruck pulled and then the end they got ruck pulled but I still made it out good. And since then, you know, I love making money into money. And have you made money as a trader? Are you up on your investing? Oh, I'm definitely up. This week alone I'm already up 12 times of my money. Wow, that's incredible. That's absolutely incredible. Now I want to ask you about this next topic. So Bitcoin had a great week but Ethereum had an even bigger week and that was due to the fact that BlackRock is now saying that they're wanting to get into having a Ethereum ETF. What do you think about this news that BlackRock wants to have an Ethereum ETF? I think I brought it to you guys here live last week before it even broke the headlines as a predicament. So you already hear first on the RichTVShow.com and make sure you all keep subscribing and hit that like button if you haven't already. But I view that it's good but one of the reasons that I had such a big week is because it was lagging so far behind Bitcoin. It's supposed to be pumping especially after the Shanghai merger that went on. We're burning more than we have ever burnt before. We're introducing less new tokens so it's hyper-deflationary now versus hyper-inflationary because we're actually burning at a much higher rate but I mean we need more activity on the network to enact the burn mechanism for the percentage on the weath for the blockchain. So we have to hit a certain amount of weath for the transactions once we get that we start burning more Ethereum so the more transactions and the more activity and the more gas fees the more Ethereum we're burning so the more price you're actually getting out in the end and that's the whole point of it but we've been lagging behind because Bitcoin's taking all the news and I view it's a good thing I view it's great news however do I agree with what they're doing I don't like making big companies rich that's why I want to take corporations money out of what they invest but that's my whole thing get in before they invest and then take their money but it's distributional wealth. I like the ETFs because I predicted it that they was going to do it because it made no sense for them to just do Bitcoin alone because what they're going to do is they're going to buy Ethereum and they're going to buy Bitcoin they're going to hold both of them and you're never going to get custody of it you're just going to rent it and have a value of it. Meanwhile they have your tokens the same as they do in banking and they have them staked where they're earning 6% interest yearly APR off of Ethereum and much lower on Bitcoin that's why they wanted Ethereum because the staking ability of Ethereum has a much higher payout than Bitcoin so it's only financial I mean it's the only smart thing for them to do considered it's a commodity and not a security so that's the only thing they could actually invest in with a high APR to get their money and it just made sense to me and it made sense to them obviously so they're going to do it they're going to give you the cash value when you buy and sell it through their margins and everything and they're just going to continue to collect their 6% so they buy another one and collect 6% from that continue to do it as they buy at the supply so I don't view them buying huge amounts in the beginning but I view as they earn that 6% interest they're going to continue to buy more so you know a few years down the road maybe the next split they'll own a quarter of the supply you never know how much they're actually going to invest and how much they're going to make now I think it's also going to be a really good thing for investors because there's a lot of investors when I talked to them about Bitcoin I talked to them about crypto they don't understand it it's a big unknown they don't want to hold their crypto on exchanges because exchanges go bankrupt they don't want to get hacked these are major real problems they don't want to lose their password you hear these crazy stories of people with Bitcoin stuck on a computer or on a laptop somewhere and they can't find the password to get access to their keys so they can get access to their Bitcoin so the advantages to these Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs is for those investors that are high net worth investors or institutions, businesses people that are older that just don't understand crypto they can now buy Bitcoin and get exposure to Bitcoin through the stock market have no concerns about hacking no concerns about putting it in the wrong exchange that's going to go bankrupt they can literally just buy it like a stock and if the Bitcoin goes up like a stock would and Bitcoin goes up 130% this year then their ETF would go up 130% so as an investor it has all the upside of Bitcoin without all the downside of potentially getting hacked potentially losing your password potentially the exchange going bankrupt to me that actually makes a lot of sense to me I feel like that's going to bring in a lot of buying like a ton of buying well I view that it's going to bring in buying it's going to bring in buying pressure it's also going to bring in a lot of selling pressure because a lot of the guys actually involved in stocks they're not really long term especially in Canada where you can actually do day trading so they're going to be trying to pump into it they're not into crypto they're into crypto to make money same as they are stocks so it's not going to be your traditional crypto investor that everybody thinks is a traditional crypto investor because even crypto people are hungry for money don't get it wrong they're going to take your money if they can and they will right it's dog eat dog world out here but the thing at the end of the day is JP Morgan just came out today and actually introduced their holy grail mechanism which will allow them to do 24 7 trading on stocks margins and crypto on the blockchain however I haven't heard nothing about black rock actually enabling that they're going to have 24 7 trading unless it's under futures for a bitcoin right or their ETF because even though they're moving it over to their exchange do they require the 24 7 trading do they do it because they don't do it with stocks unless you're trading futures for the morning well I know some people have talked about implementing it maybe this will be the start of implementing it because it would give them the reason to do it because bitcoin is 24 hours a day yeah but that's going to once they do that though it's going to definitely force more regulatory power through the government to stop that because they don't want it right now where you're doing day trading and they definitely don't want it you know in the future they want to actually restrict you from being able to long things or short things and drive the markets down because they view that's what's hurting in the markets is everybody just shorting it I wish they did stop shorting I think shorting really does hurt the market especially naked shorting except for Kramer he should short everything yeah well I mean Jim Kramer told everyone to sell bitcoin a month ago and bitcoin's gone up like what you said in a month 37% 37% since the 31st when he said bitcoin was going down well I followed Kramer pretty closely and he actually told everyone in his community to sell at 17,000 and today bitcoin's 37,000 so he was way off on that one alright I want to ask you next question so what's your scariest moment as an investor that you remember as an investor I think we all have some yeah I mean it's just one of those things you know you look at covid you look at the whole world going down I mean that was a pretty big one especially like I said I was just getting involved in bitcoin and I was just buying things on PayPal because that's the only way I had access to things because I didn't know you know crypto wallets I didn't know none of this the only options I had with you know Robinhood and I couldn't even get on there and I couldn't get through there I tried on Binance couldn't get on there but PayPal would take my money gladly so I just gave it to them and started investing and you know so we did great from there but I just started losing and I was like what is going on and then once I finally figured out everything and started learning you know we had FTX that went down and I was like oh no well Terra Luna just crashed overnight and then it just had the dead kitty skip all the way down to the skid mark at the end and I was trying to make money on that but you know it was so horrendous because the only reason I moved to different exchanges to keep different exchanges is exposure to different tokens so if I only have access to those tokens and I'm making you know 12x days or 6x days you know or even 60% or 30% whatever I'm making and I'm only making it on that wallet and all of a sudden access is shut down and I had stored up liquidity locked there for trading it just hurts you know it just hurts because I mean let's just say on the FTX wallet you know they just introduced Ethereum wrapped or Ethereum works right and because of the Shanghai merger and so they had the old contract of Ethereum and then they had the new contract of Ethereum and I was given the old contract an airdrop because I actually held Ethereum and then you couldn't do nothing with it so I had to actually send it over to FTX to actually be able to use it and sell it and buy and trade it and then I made I was talking to you I'd already made a hundred times my money in the first week so I'd already onexed it and then I was already trading for the next one and I was getting ready for the next pop and it crashed and there were my extra 75% along with all my funds I had locked into it so overnight so I mean that's some of the scariest ones besides governmental shutdown I used to be scared about regulatory power you know I know Brazil is working on passing 26% interest I know UK is trying to tax it everybody is trying to get their tax money without regulating it more and they just want money money money money money without regulatory or counting it as a currency and they don't know the proper way to do it and it's going to take money just to make them talk I guess just got to keep them pressed for it but you know Sam Bingford couldn't do it that's for sure yeah that guy's a whole another story and a whole another topic for a whole another day so let's talk about this this is one of the biggest pieces of the news for the week so Powell reinforces feds cautious approach towards further interest rate hikes so he decided for the second meeting in a row to leave rates unchanged he did not hike rates the market did well at the end of the week obviously Bitcoin and cryptos have done extremely well based on this news that they're not going to keep increasing rates but it does sound like he may have to increase rates at some point in time between now and next year around this time maybe once or twice more and then maybe even start bringing rates down what do you think is going to happen with this rate situation obviously it's caused a lot of problem for people a lot of people think we're ready in a recession I know I've seen it I'm sure you've seen in your business in the tracking industry where it's different things have changed since COVID I've seen it in my business as well they're just you know people are not as willing to invest in their own businesses right now because things are tighter because there's higher interest because there's higher rates everyone's getting tighter and everyone's going to squeeze a little bit tighter so what do you think about this oh I view that unfortunately we are going to need more interest rate hikes if that's the only mechanism that this old man has eventually he'll just figure out that a recession reboots the system a lot faster than soft blows to the banking industry because now you have banks that are shutting down accounts denying access to your accounts deleting accounts and then just banning users from it and taking your money and it's all because they're losing a crap load of money on bonds and this man has not figured out that when he says he's not changing interest rates that everybody goes and buys bonds and drives the market numbers up and when he gets his market numbers oh my god they're higher and then he says well I'll sell or I'll raise the interest rates and they say well I'll just sell what I just bought and then the market says oh it's just flip flop flip flop flip flop and you know where's bricks at selling these bonds back to us because that would be a faster rate than what the actual investors are buying them at so you know to get it into a more hard blow where we can actually get the numbers up we might need something going on but I do view that we'll need some more interest rate hikes considering that's his solution to the situation he was discussing the fact that he's not scared to do it and he's not going to do it he already came out and said that we're going to have one more by the end of the year we've talked about multiple times on here our thought process on the situation but he might be just lightening up for a soft blow right before Christmas or the end of the new year when he actually raises it the week after Christmas if he can actually make it into a core house where he can make a speech without getting demonstrated for the Green New Deal beating on the door and screaming demonstrating and you know don't talk to yelling about Secretary yelling about it because she's been coming out all day and saying she doesn't see any situations going on with anything and that it might require her to actually do her job as financial ministry you know and meanwhile you have moody degrading our stability down to negative rather than stable for our credit so you know things are happening and it's all because the money's not going to the banks because they're having to pay the bonds I mean they just paid what $150 billion and bonds that they lost money on because they invested so low with interest rates down and they just lost all the money that's where the earthquakes coming from it ain't coming into the crypto market it's coming from banks losing their head over their feet in bonds that they bought for cheap deals because that's what they run on because they don't keep any money on hand like the good old days so I don't care about the banks I want their money and that's the way the rich think the rich get richer because they like to use the banks and use the banks to use the banks money so they can make more money and in a low interest environment it's almost like free money I've talked a lot of rich people that tell me that they're like rich you should be borrowing from the banks it's free money when we're at 2% interest or 0% interest it was literally you could borrow and get free money and a lot of people took advantage of that and a lot of the rich take advantage of that so at the higher interest rates yeah they don't want to go and borrow at these higher rates when they were borrowing for almost nothing a year or two years ago why would they want to borrow for 5% 10% 20% so here's the reason it's the rich that don't get concerned about this because they got money but the poor in the middle income that are struggling that need a bank loan to pay their bills or need a bank loan to get a mortgage or need a bank loan to open up a new business those are the people that are struggling right now and it's the middle income that's getting squeezed and the low income that's getting squeezed through these high rate environments and we're going to see it soon in the mortgage in the mortgage crisis because a lot of people were locked in to closed rates for the last 2 or 3 years a lot of those 5 year mortgages are coming due in the next 2 or 3 years and then those people are going to have a tough decision do I pay double for my mortgage now or am I going to have to sell my property that's essentially what their options are going to be most people are not going to want to pay double so they're going to be forced to sell some might not be able to sell so they're going to have to lower their prices that's what's going to drop the market in my opinion I mean that's what's got to happen is the housing sector has already got to go because commercial lots are already down 70% on commercial lots I mean the way when you're rich there's so many rich people here in Vancouver I don't know if the status is real but it sounds crazy apparently 50% of the properties are owned in cash here in Vancouver so there's not even that many people that are going to be suffering because half of the people in real estate own it outright so they don't have a mortgage exactly rich get richer and the poor get poorer because they're not going to be able to buy these homes and the rich if the market does drop which seems like it will because the other 50% will struggle to pay those mortgages so they're going to have to sell those homes and if the prices go down they're going to either have to take a loss or sell for a small gain so there's a few options but it's going to cause the market to go down and some believe it's going to cause the market to go down substantially anywhere from 20 to 50% like we've seen in previous housing collapses like in 2008 so it's going to be interesting to see what happens but I know it's definitely a scary time and once again the rich get richer and the poor and the middle income get poorer and that leads me to my next question for you what is your most exciting moment or moments as an investor well the most exciting moments I mean they all come you know when you look at the numbers and you look at how much money you make you know let's take the rug bowl for example on the first purchase that I was trying to help somebody you know I invest you know a little bit and then I'll make a lot you know so in this case I invested you know $3,500 I walked out with over a little over $24,000 on it and then I sold out at 14 and reinvested a little bit so I could actually maximize my potential in case it didn't actually go down but you know when you walk away with that and you're looking at it you're like wow you know this is actually possible and then you know you look at things like the dead cat bouncing down the road where you know you're investing in the Terra Luna even after it crashes and you're looking at the percentages going up I just made 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 800 times of my money and under a week and our percentages not 600 times I wish but you know 600% and you're looking at it and you're like even during the bear markets you can make money if you know what you're doing and that's what I've done this entire bear market you know if there's money out there people are losing money but you know it's all being returned back to the market eventually unless it's going to somebody who's just in it to get rich a cash out go to Bahamas, Thailand or something you know or you know spend it on lucrative things you know if they're making their million finally and they cash out well it's well deserved they spend long enough in the markets you know they pulled the profits out you know kudos to them you'll be the next person I mean that's what you're going to do when you get there right and it's a great thing but I mean it's just so hard especially like we were just talking about the rich get richer and you have to keep money on hand if you choose to be an investor don't over ever overextend yourself but even with these bonds you know we're getting into the points even if they raise the bonds you know continue raising the interest rates if you get in on bonds you'll be making more interest of buying a bond then you will be by investing in all the stocks of the S&P 500 so that's what the rich are going to be switching into if the rights continue to go because why invest into something where you're only going to make five to seven percent of your money when you can invest into a stock or bond that's guaranteed and it's guaranteed for the life of the bond that you're going to be making the interest of when you bought it so unless it goes under or continues to go higher and then you're losing the value but I mean that's what you're looking at so some of the exciting things you know we looked at every new crypto launch as an exciting moment because you never know the probability of it right and there's nothing more exciting than coming up and gambling is what I call it because you're gambling on small projects that you don't know much about you don't know the record of it you've done as much research as you can and you finally pull the trigger to invest into whether you let it launch a little bit and soft launch after airdrops or you actually get in right through the gate but I just find the most exciting parts doing the research and learning what the projects are and what they have to offer and seeing how they correlate and then knowing what the future of the markets will be due to what's getting released and where the next turn will be like everybody's saying you know NFTs, NFTs, NFTs and then they were all into oh my god the next thing is online gaming you know and then now we're moving into the metaverse and what's next you know now we're looking at ETFs so now we're looking at more financial regulatory power and more governing bodies and more people to actually govern over or watch things and more avenues for these ETFs to do their trading and we're going to be looking at more continual development within the crypto sector so I mean it's beautiful things and it's the most exciting moments when the markets are always going up or when you pull out a 30X off of something even in the bear market I had one crypto trade I invested right off the rip on the launch date I was waiting I invested and I talked about it a little bit because I wasn't for sure about it so I don't want to give up the ideas of the protocol and then I logged back in like a month later and I looked at it because I'd just thrown it off somewhere and I looked and I'd already made 50X of my investment one investment 50X in a month that's insane didn't even know it that's incredible well let's get into the next question I have here and it's about Trump so Trump has been in court for a 250 million trial they brought his kids in now he's going back to court again and he is asking the cameras to be in the courtroom for federal election subversion trial what do you think do you think that they should allow cameras in the courtroom and this one 1000% because the man has been nothing but a witch hunt in his words it's been nothing but a witch hunt exactly it's been nothing but a witch hunt against him and you need evidence when you're getting bullied like that look at Oppenheimer right when Oppenheimer was getting fired for trying to shut down the nuclear program in the United States and across the globe for keeping nuclear power suppressed and not letting nuclear technology out when he was the father and creator of nuclear power bombs of the nukes they did nothing but tried to convict him rather than get a confession and they're doing the same thing with Donald Trump except for they don't need a conviction they just need him to confess something to defame himself where he will be convicted so they're not fighting for convictions they're fighting for confessions and they're just trying to catch him up on something so you need the cameras there to try and keep it equal I mean you know same as when you get pulled over by the police you have the right to record if you have it set up and ready to go whenever it's happening but in the same circumstance if you feel you're going to be unfairly treated why not expose it to the world when it's a global or a nationwide issue in this case that's going to be happening you know we already know that they're trying to attack him and they're hunting for him let's look and see how he's being unfairly treated and there's nothing less than they would be doing anyway on the other side because if they do get him on something you bet you're darned tishy that they're going to want to publicize it and have it all over TV even in his case if they do find him guilty of something they mistreat him unfairly within the court proceeding and he can appeal the case right due to unfair unjust actions or judgments then it makes him look good at the end of the day because yes he might have done something but was it worthy of the way they treated him right so I definitely believe that you know it should be allowed in the courtroom okay great I think they should I think that these cases against him have been completely ridiculous and unfair and it's happening right in front of everybody even Putin is mocking America saying how can America talk about democracy when a person that is a former president and potentially a future president that's in the middle of an election campaign is standing trial almost every single day that is not democracy that is the complete opposite of democracy people can say whatever they want about Putin but he makes a very good point there I mean everyone just have him off I'm gonna have this time now to go through your top 10 picks for 2024 I'd love to know you've had some credible success this year in cryptos you've had great results overall and I want to remind everyone that this is not for information this is strictly for information and educational purposes we are not financial advisors we're not telling you to buy any of these picks but what I wanted Earl to do is share with us his top 10 picks which are different than mine in fact my number one pick is not even on his list baffling but everyone's allowed to have their own opinion and Earl has earned it because he's had phenomenal results so Earl what are your top 10 crypto picks for 2024 all right number one I actually placed in oh do you have my list there hold on let me look real quick hold on it's on my phone which I'm using to stream right now okay so now I actually have my placement so number one I actually have you're in finance right so you're in finance is an actual crazy token in the last bull market it was actually a 93 $3300 per token as a 33,000 supply that's it 33,000 token supply very tight very tight so as far as money making opportunities or money moving hello right so if it didn't last time and it goes parabolical this time we're looking at what 120 150 bitcoin hits you know over $100,000 who might actually break $200,000 on it which would be crazy number one pick or your 10th pick my number one pick your number one pick you're in finance okay yeah because I'm all about risk versus opportunity right because you know bitcoin you know even with it being a power house yes it's a sure thing right it's a sure thing it's a sure bet you know but are you looking to make money or are you looking just to make four times your money right four times my money is good because I feel safer than owning some of the smaller names so for me I just personally feel safer now I'm not disagreeing with you I know tons of people that have made millions of dollars buying smaller the Shiba Inus and the different names like you like a lot of people have done extremely well with it so there's nothing wrong with it crypto is a different world I always call it stocks on steroids you know but we're in the bull market so you know we're looking at the point you got to make money and then store in the safe spot see for me buying bitcoin is like buying Apple and Apple is one of the biggest assets on Wall Street and Bay Street in Canada here where big companies big institutions they all have Apple in their portfolio it's a staple bitcoin is like that it's a staple and crypto you want to build a crypto portfolio that's going to last you want to own some bitcoin now is it going to go up as much as you're maybe not right is it going to go up as much as Shiba Inu maybe not recently Solana has been on fire you know which is my number two pick is Solana your number two pick I'll let you continue so we're looking at Solano as the number two due to its tremendous upside I mean we're looking at the golden triangle we just crossed over it we're already up a huge percentage just this month alone and the upside of it you know on the parabolic gold chains we're looking at a huge growth up to potentially $500 you know a 10x from here so I like 10x a lot better than 4x and it's a little more safer it has a proven track record unless it crashes like ftx which I don't see happening so in this case you know we're doing pretty good number three I got Kronos on there it was one of the most steady it was one of the most steady token throughout the entire bear market it only had a 90% drop I think it was so we went from 50 cents all the way down to 5 cents at the very bottom we were looking at some of the choices with cutbacks on rewards and people like oh my god you know the token just went from 44 cents down to 26 cents just because they cut rewards but I mean if the token is making more less money they're going to be able to give you less money so and as the rates continue to go up they're going to continue to go up they just rose the rewards back up to like 5.25% on the card cashback so it's going up as the markets go up and so we're looking at a huge upside I mean in this month alone we're already up 110% or 100% right now in the month doubled in a month so if we're looking at 50% or 50 cents from where we just was that's a 10x right there but we're in the chronos network or we're pushing for a dollar is where we see it going potentially everybody always puts up that one penny one dollar 10 cents thing but chronos can actually do it it's a blockchain so that would be massive it would be huge you know I like it and it's a smaller token and it has a lot of utilities same as Ethereum smart contracts many blockchains many ecosystems all that so and then who's your number 4 number 4 I have Ethereum you know it's one of your safer bets you know I actually have it on there here's my number 2 well I got some money on my list and I got Ethereum on my list so out of your top 4 so far I do have 2 of them on my list so we're kind of similar in some ways here so I like your list so far I have Ethereum just due to the fact that it is such a powerhouse has a huge upside as we continue to burn we're looking at the ETFs coming in we're already up over 30% for the month and we have high growth rate I mean potentially $10,000 for this bull market you know and then some people are saying there are other numbers than that but I'll leave it at 10 to 15,000 is where I'm looking at the potential upside of that that's another 5x from your lips to God's ears brother let's go and then number 5 I actually have Chainlink which is on the Solana chain if I'm not mistaken it does cross-border transactions has interoperability and has a large vastness of utility to actually be done with Swift and doing transactions for Swift and if it can even get a portion of Swift money to process or handle its transactions then you're looking at a huge upside it's been working with the UK and regulatory powers and CBDC so according to the ISO 2024 you know we're looking at good numbers along with Quant but that didn't make my top because Chainlink I like it just a little bit better Chainlink 2 is my top 10 for the month so so far out of your 5 3 of them are my top 10 for the month and then number 6 we have the Camelot token and that is a rather new one on the scene it's called Grail and it currently has a circulating supply of 9,500 tokens it's tight it's very tight right now TV Live has a full diluted circulating or full dilution right now of 73 so we're a little ways off but they've already burnt 27,000 tokens they have a total supply of 100,000 tokens wow we're looking tight like that yeah we like them like that so if if my number 1 pick could go up to 93,000 of a third of the supply then the huge upside of Camelot even if they do dilute we're still looking at great numbers if it actually takes off and then my number 6 pick is actually a stock or number 7 is actually a stock and we're looking at raised bio it is actually a pharmaceutical company that works on biological cancer treatments right what's the symbol I'd have to look that up for you real quick I know it's raised bio r-a-y-z-e bio and they actually do cancer treatments and they're working in breaking new research through the cancer foundations and research for pharmaceutical companies biologically so I view that I might have a high potential it's a rather new one that the IPO just came out last month or the month before whenever Instacart was coming out and they got released the same week and I've been waiting for the price to come down a little bit and they did a little bit but it's been going up so I view the upside on that is going to be rather high once everything actually gets more involved and then my number 8 pick is another one another stock of new holdings now that is a banking company out of Latin America and South America and it actually is a crypto bank and crypto or crypto backed bank and with brick happening new holdings and new holdings yes sir perfect and Warren Buffett is actually a huge investor and it currently made $250 million this year on it and I actually brought it to you last year when I found out about it so they do crypto and they are pretty much in all of Mexico and all of Brazil they have digital banking so it's digital banking and they have access to crypto in the bank and they do same day conversions so the huge upside on it has huge potential as it's adopted even more and let's say El Salvador needs a way to access their bitcoin for their currencies with better way than new bank that's already spread across Latin America and they'd have access to their bitcoin I love it and number 9 is cryptocurrency ordinals it is a BRC20 token which is a rather new deployment on the bitcoin blockchain so it was the first ever deployment on the bitcoin blockchain using Shatoshi and rewriting coding of a bitcoin through Shatoshi so you rewrite one Shatoshi out of $250,000 that it takes to make one bitcoin and you have an ordinal so it's a BRC20 token they finally figured out how to launch things on it without creating a smart contract since nobody owns bitcoin right? so we're looking at the first token that's ever been launched on bitcoin blockchain and that's a smart contract per se and it has its own wallet it works through NFTs and it has its own platform and it has other tokens that are being released underneath it and you can buy them in batches now it has a huge upside being on bitcoin so as bitcoin rises to its 4x potential here in the next two years then we're also looking at ordinals going up we already went from $2 all the way up to $12 to $15 I think we hit $19 yesterday $10x that's fantastic so I love that as well so I tell you it has huge potential going up in the future here and then my number 10 pick is off the wall one it is yeah Atlantic Lithium company limited yes Atlantic Limited Lithium so they mine Lithium and they're one of the larger ones now they're mining white Lithium and they got partial contract with the new deposit that was found in Nevada which is one of the largest on earth but not only that they also absorbed the contracts for the new large mine in Ghana so now they have new mines coming in they're working in the creating batteries for electric car booming that's going on and so the potential on that for them creating batteries and not just China let's go Australia baby alright and that hashtag is actually AIL and AX A-L-L-A-X A-L-L and then AX alright well I love your top 10 thank you for sharing your top 10 and we must remind everyone that we are strictly here for information and education purposes Earl and I are not licensed we're just giving our opinions Earl's had a great track record and I'm sure his results will speak for themselves so feel free to track those results and don't go and buy them just because you heard them here guys buy them because you've done the research you've done the due diligence and you want to get in them yourself now my next question here it's about the war so this war that's been raging obviously you've actually been and you've serviced your country so thank you for your service by the way obviously a day like today Veterans Day is a very special different day for someone like yourself that's actually been at war there's an outcry right now over this Gaza crisis and what's happening now is they are talking about potentially exchanging hostages and apparently Israel and Hamas nearly struck a deal to free up to 50 hostages there's been talk that they could potentially put a deal together to release 100 hostages there's been talk that they could put a deal together to release all the hostages now you've been through this before what do you think do you think that these hostages are going to come home are they going to strike a deal so they will strike a deal in the end now to come from a military standpoint of the most powerful military on the face of the planet right we have to look at what I'm going to say a little bit different than what the rest of the world is going to say but just speaking from my experience I can't say what my experience was in the military but it was on up there and with a lot of information so I'm paid to think outside the box a little bit but the problem with this whole entire thing is everybody wants to include Gaza into Palestine and say free Palestine free Palestine free Palestine pro Palestine and where is Palestine right so we've been looking at Palestine only wanting to argue with Israel and do nothing about policing up its own country on the other side of Israel or working with Israel to gain access to Gaza so they can police the country themselves so would it be any less of a destruction if Palestine went across Israel and started policing Gaza and sending military there to kick Hamas out would it be as much of an uproar I don't think so but Palestine's not doing that so you can't ceasefire with Palestine if Palestine's not fricking involved right but do I view that they're going to release hostages because Israel just agreed to a 4 hour a day ceasefire that gives them 4 hours every single day out of getting bombed for 20 hours right you have 4 hours to release a hostage you can release one a day or you can release multiple and be done all at the same time but you have 4 hours to release one hostage every day and we'll stop bombing you for the rest of the day that works pretty good when they have no food no power no where to live troops marching in on them U.S. submarines and tanks and battleships in the Gulf and the coast keeping all those supplies coming from Iran that they were sneaking across the water into Gaza I wonder why we stuck battleships there hmm maybe so they couldn't supply Gaza with rockets that they'd already spent on I wonder why Iran is saying all of the Muslim countries should be backing Gaza and Palestine and providing them with the firepower that Iran cannot without showing that they were involved to begin with very interesting perspective now we're running out of time Earl we've only got a few minutes left so the last question I want to give you is how did you come up with the name King Earl or how did this nickname get given to you so my actual name is Earl um originally I was just running around with my Xbox name and uh off my Xbox gaming system and my PlayStation and I was like you know I've had this one for a while I might as well just go Earl you know people are going to be calling me a little bit more Earl's a little bit you know more snappy of a name where people will be memorable maybe four letters you know and then I started adding characters to it it got a little bit more crazy you know especially when you're talking to people from different regions like the Philippines, Asians and Brazilians and Ukrainians they have a hard time rolling the R and so you turn into Earl and Earl you know so you had to throw something in front of it so you know King worked out pretty well because they can usually all say Kingi because they were trained at a young age across many dynasties of kingdoms to be able to say the word King and so my girlfriend is actually a live streamer as well and her name is Queen and so every Queen needs a King and every King needs his Queen so I just stuck the King there even though sometimes it's Kingi and Kingi I like that story that's a great story thank you for joining us today King Earl and love hearing your story love having you on the show it's been great having you this is our 25th episode time just flies by and it's always fun when you're making predictions and things are going well I know you're doing well in crypto so hopefully you guys at home are doing well with crypto and doing well with investing and hopefully we'll be able to help you guys through your journey through these interviews and these shows can help you understand the markets a little bit more understand what's going on in the world in some of the trending topics that are happening obviously there's a war that's happening and it's very sad and we're just wishing for a path to peace really that's all we want in all the different wars and everything that's happening in the world and we also want to thank all of our veterans and we want to remember all of our veterans all of the world that have fought in wars to keep our country safe so once again thank you for your service Earl and thank you for everyone that's watching if you're not winning, you're probably not watching I'm your host with the most your boy Rich from RichTV with the Bull and Bear show episode number 25 and King Earl anything else you want to say before we say goodbye roll tide but everybody keep your chin up it's not the end of the world we've already been accumulated into the markets so it's already correlated so the markets aren't going to be affected by them too much there's been a couple of strategic movings going on in Iran and North Korea so just keep your eye out on that Germany moving things around the Baltic so just keep your eye out for parts of that going on but you know North Korea is going to start filling that oil shortage as Venezuela starts flooding the market and Russia ain't getting paid as much so it's going to drive some people to do crazy things but keep your eye out the world will change and it all starts with you voting for Donald Trump in 2024 alright we'll end on that thank you King Earl thank you for everyone that's watching I'm Rich from RichTV Live and the RichTV Live podcast saying have a nice day we'll see you soon Earl thank you very much buddy we'll see you later you're welcome sir cheers
