 Let's jump in to Q&A. So let's go here. I guess the first thing is the first thing will be the health update. As you may have known, I've been very tired lately, like super, super worn out. And this is like the last week or so. So I didn't know what was going on. I had some blood drawn, had some scans, had to go see some doctors, which I gotta tell you, like, I hate going to doctors, right? I used to work in the medical field, never liked going to them. And it's always like you're trying to get pushed in and out, it sucks. But they took a look at all the labs, everything looks good. And I thought, for me, because I'm getting much older every day, I was like, well, it's gotta be something with, you know, maybe like hemoglobin or red blood cells or something like that, or maybe the testosterone. And everything came back pretty good. And I was like, well, that's all right. So the big thing was testosterone was above average. Yeah, that's great. Must be all that working out I do. And I keep myself busy, I suppose. But there was one that was super low, it's called DHEA. And this is a precursor to testosterone and estrogen and some other hormones. And when they took a look at it, they go, hey, you know, your test, your free testosterone or your testosterone total is fine. It's pretty good, actually. But your free testosterone is a little bit low. So I think you have a problem with your DHEA. And that was it. So now I started supplementation of DHEA tablets and that's what's going on. So we'll see how it works. I mean, I feel better today, probably because I have the knowledge of what's going on. So nothing big. And of course, in my mind, I always have the worst case scenario. I'm like, oh, God, I got like Lou Gehrig's disease or it's cancer or something like that, but wasn't. So feeling pretty good about that. So maybe I can keep up with grandkids and stuff like that that says what's happening. That was the update. Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Great. Now your questions, which I think is more important. No one cares about health. All right, this was funny. Guns Unloaded says, I identify as a bull. I gotta tell you, I think if you, we've all noticed the bearishness out of this channel, there's not been really much to be bullish about. CPI numbers came out much lower than expected, although core inflation didn't change. The consumer price index numbers changed. That's great, but the core inflation didn't. So I still think that they're gonna raise 50 to 75 points. And that's good. I mean, let's see him do. That's not good. Demo wants that. Am I stupid? But I think the Jerome Powell can't take his foot off the gas now. I think he's like, okay, I got a little bit of wind because people have been calling me, the dumbest person of all time for the last six months. Now I have to just keep my foot on the throat of inflation until I stomp it out. That's what I would do. Anyhow, but besides that, I mean, look, there's some really good things going on. I love, I gotta tell you, I love the bear market. First of all, the people that follow me on this channel, I don't get the dumbest responses. I hate to say that, but it's true. Like I have a lot more smart people. I have people that actually get it. And they don't just like say the most ridiculous stuff out there, like you guys get it of why we're here. I'm telling you right now, when the bull market comes, I'm not gonna be that happy either. I'll probably be selling a good amount. And if you haven't checked that video out, the 225 bull run strategy, just check it out. It's in the links in the description. Okay. I love Rob, but when he called BlackRock Smart Money, I nearly stopped watching the channel. Some people hate BlackRock. I get it. Some people say they're the evil empire, but they can still be used. It's like a gun. And the hands of the wrong people can be extremely evil, but it can also be a savior. So with BlackRock, I look at it as a double-edged sword. I'm just here to support them when they wanna get their institution of money in and lambast them when they take the money out. That's pretty much what it comes down to. Let's see. BlackRock is all about ESGs and Bitcoin is bad for the environment or way of life. You know, you have to remember, even Ted Cruz talks about this, Senator here in Texas. He said, you know what's great about Bitcoin is that they use the flare-off from the mining, which is wasted energy and bad for the environment to help fuel Bitcoin miners. I can support that. Also, on top of that, any kind of nuclear power, it's a funny thing. Nuclear power was a big, bad, ugly word for the longest time. Now all of a sudden, it's considered environmentally friendly in certain countries. So once we start getting more of that, Bitcoin becomes environmentally friendly and you'll be shocked how fast that narrative changes when a bunch of big companies like BlackRock come in and they go, okay, now it's time to flip the switch. Watch. Mark it right now. Dave, thanks for coming, YouTube member. I appreciate it. Zipper snipper. Why does everyone in the crypto world spell when, when? I think it was, someone said it's an old meme, when moon from 2017, it's pretty funny. But we just, that's what we say. And same thing like hold. Why don't people just say hold Bitcoin, instead of hodl Bitcoin? It is. Tolkien metric sucks. They recommend a tornado cash asking about it. I haven't talked about it. A lot of people recommend a tornado cash. And of course that got banned. So here we are again. I don't think anybody knew that was gonna get banned. I mean, did you have people in the upper echelons of government that would tell you this? Look, you can't, you can't get them all right. I'm full on, I like this one. Dorothy Mike, I'm full on dumb money and I embrace the term. You know, are we really dumb money? Because like, to me it seems like people make things so complex, so you'll have to follow them to get the real information. And when somebody simplifies it, like Ian and Tolkien metric simplifies everything. Hey, you guess what? This is around the time that we'll be considered altcoin season. Great, it's green, I like green, and that's it. But it seems like some people out there that make things so complex because to make things complex is easy. This is what Steve Jobs talked about. But to make things simple is incredibly tough. And I say in my head to the people that can do that. And as you call yourself dumb money, I don't think you are. If you're just dollar-cost averaging and waiting for you have a five to 10-year outlook, you're smart money to me. Smart money's pushing you to see the one-price tanks and you buy the new issues stuff, you push, I guess. We'll see what happens. If you don't think BlackRock is smart money if things twisted, you know, I will say this. Who the heck's talking about BlackRock and Bitcoin and crypto? Nobody, people like us, that's it. This isn't splashed all over the mainstream media all over the place. Maybe you might see on like an MSNBC like a short snippet or something like that, but no one's talking about this. And it's because they don't want people to, BlackRock's smart enough to not blast it all over the place and just kind of creep into it. You won't hear anything for a while, I think. But we know what's happening and that's good news for me. Makes me a little bullish. Now, does that mean that we're going straight to the moon and squints right up? No, I think there's another dip around the corner. There's always a dip around the corner. That's what's great about the market. So for me personally, I think we got till 2023 to see some more positive action. I'm just here to accumulate. Darth Mike, everyone's checked the Lux Freeman podcast, the Brian Armstrong for Educational. I did watch a good amount of that. I gotta tell you, I'm not a fan of Brian Armstrong initially because Coinbase always went down and would tick me off, but once you peel back the layers, mostly people are good people, mostly. And then there's just some crazies out there, but Brian's gonna make a pretty good guy. Dez says, welcome back Ian. I always like when he ends on. Oh, I just, I interviewed Digital Dave from Crazy for Crypto's. I'll need to edit that and put it up there. He's got some pretty good insights into pretty good low capper, I'll say. Cardano was a hole, only has 118 million total value locked up. Ronan Bridge had 6x that amount locked up. Yeah, look where that went. And Rob is investing lots of things because he has lots of money. I do not have a lot of money. I am just doing the exact same thing I did in 2018. I set a DCA. I used to, now Coinbase has it. So I've been using Coinbase and FTX a lot. Kraken, I like Kraken, I like Jesse Powell. And I like what they're doing over there. It's just that there's a problem with the ACH option for my bank. So it's hard to, I have to do a wire transfer to put it over there. The app for some reason doesn't work with USA Bank. I don't know why. It's like, it's all the military uses USA. That's what I've been using since I was in the military, whatever. But what I do is I just set it and I buy some certain things. And I was talking about altcoins and I didn't want to say what they were but Ethereum, Polygon and Neer seems like a reasonable thing for me. I think in three years, probably do pretty well. Could they go down? Yeah, sure, why not? Could Bitcoin go down? Yeah, why not? But in the next bull run in 2025, which I think if that's what it is, I think I'll be okay. And Mark G says, what are you gonna do with 37,000 apps? I don't know. Good question. I'm sure they're all awesome. I'm just kidding. They're not all awesome. It's just a survival to fittest. Just like Apple and Android. No one uses tons of apps. I mean, I got tons of apps on my phone. I use probably four. But it just, really what it goes to show you is that it's being built on as people love to say about how much it's being built on. If you really think about it, Mark's got a pretty good point. Who cares how many dApps are being built on it? Show me the dApp that has tons and tons of users. Show me the breakout app that's being used at a breakneck pace. Show me the app that is responsible for most of those transactions and lump those into the top five. That's all I really care about. And the other 36,995, whatever. Michael, Condano, that's very clever, funny. Rob Luxley, I do feel better. I think it's a mental thing. When you figure out what the problem is, then you don't feel so bad. So, Beardy says, I've always been big on sharding. Ever talk about? Look, we will never escape it. Can we just call that the truth? We'll never escape the fact that sharding sounds like something different. And it's hilarious. No joke, we're going to I've also Q1. I think so. I could see that. Wealth creator, sick of these assholes. Look, I don't blame you. Wealth creator's right. I used to get so pissed off in 2018 when I was listening to the, just like you, I'd listen to YouTube clowns. Some of them were real clowns. They're not even around anymore. And they would just spout the most ridiculous stuff. But there was always a couple that would say some pretty smart things, which is like this, which was the basics, which was like, look, market cycles, there's a bear in a bull market, dollar cost average, don't spend more than you can afford to lose. And I'll see you in three years. That was not what was sold to me. What was sold to me in 2017 was that Bitcoin was going to a million. Ethereum could potentially flip Bitcoin and everything was going to go up forever. That's what was sold to me. And I was very disheartened, disenchanted when that didn't come true. But it was a nice slap to reality. And so I get wealth, what you're talking about. And I say the same thing now. Bear in bull markets, natural cycle, dollar cost average. Don't lose more than you can afford to lose. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Take all your money off exchanges. Cold storage, very boring, but it does work. Tom, how to win the lifetime for Tokimetric. So Tom, we had talked about this just to make sure. There's a link in the description. You know, the Twitter posts, you go to here to win. Again, I thought it was a pretty cool thing, what Ian's doing over there at Tokimetrics. They're going to mint the NFT. That is your access into Tokimetrics. And if you don't like it at some point, you're like, I'll just sell this. So imagine having a winning a lifetime membership to a gym. And then you're like, cool. And you're like, I don't, I just want to get fat. You're like, I don't want to work out anymore. And you just put it up on, you know, some website, Facebook, marketplace or whatever. And like, Hey, here's a lifetime membership to Planet Fitness, who wants it, bidding war. And you could like, ton of your money back. I thought it was a pretty cool thing. So if you're trying to win this, again, you go to this, the link links in the description, fill out this information, follow Astro. About society, news asset, retweet this, put in your email, they'll draw the winners. And just as a reminder, I hope the metrics isn't cheap. It's good info though. I mean, let's be honest, I think we all need as much info as we possibly can get. This market ain't easy to navigate. Let's see, Fafo for real. But you can't say BlackRock isn't smart money. I guess. Look, they're institutions, they're here for the bottom dollar. I don't see why this is a big mystery. Let them do their thing, you do your thing. And yeah, and then in the interview that was Chloe in the background barking. I heard the doge, the dog wants a whiteless, very funny. Beardy, you did not believe that. Eos is where it's at. It could be, I can tell you Eos was back in the day. Back in the day, Eos was everything. And it was gonna be the biggest thing. Sweatcoin will make my shorts fit again next summer. Make shorts great again. Just so you know, this month for Sweatcoin, I'm losing big time. So I expect 10 more winners this month. And if you win, if you beat me in steps on year than top 10, you get 50 Sweatcoins or you can come on the show and I'll interview you how the heck you beat me. Or I'll give you a portfolio review, top three. But there are other seven that'll get the 50 Sweatcoins. Yes, and no one ever lies. We're full of liars. We're people and we're supposed to lie. It's not what I tell my kids, but I mean, you know what I mean? Let's see. It's survival of the fattest now. Thoughts on Solana? Solana's making strides. We'll see how it works. See if we can, I don't know. I don't know who's gonna win. I still have some Solana. And I think, I think we're it. Is that it? Oh, very nice. Help for nine holes. Eos is still fast and cheap to send. Oh, I bet it is because everybody's using it. I'm 150% Eos. You're so, you know, you're not. Oh yeah, one more thing. Mark's reminds me, hey Rob, have you checked the Twitter thread between Mickey of World Mobile Token and Mark Cuban? I have. It's very interesting. I talked to Mickey, Mickey Watkins. He's the CEO of World Mobile Token, which is built on Cardano. And we did a Zoom meeting because he's gonna, I'm gonna interview him tomorrow. And we were talking about this whole thing. And he said, he goes, Mark doesn't understand. He goes that once, if he's looking at transactions, he goes the fees, the fees. But if you're looking at the transactions in Tanzania, just Tanzania alone, he goes, you know, you're gonna have over a million people that could potentially sign up for this. Not that they're all going to, but just take that, take different countries in Africa. He goes, just to have them use the transactions, which is why it's so good that it's low because you can't have people paying three bucks of transaction fee on average like Ethereum, like we talked about. And that's even higher. So he says, if we just get one country, two country, three country, we become the largest, the largest app out there. And Corona becomes the biggest chain. I'll let him explain it to you in the interview. And that's it. Look, I'm still feeling good today. So I'm gonna cut it off right there and we'll talk tomorrow. So look, if you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up, give it a like, consider subscribing, all that good stuff. And that's it for today. So I'll see you guys tomorrow. Thanks for hanging out with me. I do appreciate it. I'll see you on the next one. Adios.
