 If you want to stick around, we'll do the Q&A. I'll answer all your questions and we'll have a fun time. It's probably my most favorite part of the whole show. But that's it. If you have to get out of here, get out of here. I appreciate you coming by on a Tuesday and just hanging out with me for 20 minutes. I do like that, but that's it. So thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it. See you on the next one. Let's get into a little Q&A. Darth Mike, what's it showing between friends? I'm still waiting for that t-shirt from Ben. We'll see. Hello, Lexi. Darth Mike, very funny. Let me go up. I think I missed, yeah, I missed all of them. So, ah, Mr. Hogan's channel is called Legal Briefs. All right, everybody can search for that. Again, go to the experts. I'm not the expert on that one. Hogan does a great job, Deaton does a great job to have to check them out. They've got a lot better information than I have. Amy Softball says my best guess is 75 basis points of the market might react stronger to the many countries also raising rates as well. Yeah, the UK just recently did themselves. So afternoon ladies. Hello, Tommy V. Hello, Corey. Hello, Namim. I gotta hold on. There we go. David says, let's get it. Happy Tuesday. Hello, it's from me. Hello, friends. Hey, Rob. Shannon Miller, wrench me. Next time, Shannon. And, ah, well, First Coast Crypto is here. Let's see. Giving some Iowa, Argentina. Well, that's a wide swath of coverage. We'll take it. Whoa, I don't know that. Mr. Wolf says Sweden raised the rate by an entire hundred basis points today. If this happens in the US, the market will go into a complete terminal. Yes, Mr. Wolf is correct. And I'm hoping that actually happens. A hundred basis points would be awesome. Why? Because it would drive everything down. You can get things pretty cheap. Like, I don't really think about it. There's a notification on my phone that happens every day around 7.15 in the morning which says your dollar cost average of these specific cryptos has been executed. One of those is Bitcoin. Another one is Ethereum. Another one is near. Another one is Cardano. There's a couple of those I do too. I know Ben will say you got to take a cold shower because they're going to be lower. Probably right. But I just like the hedge. Ah, Corey says, Rob, you did a CTO last month, great. Isn't CTO such a smart guy? Nice guy. It's so nice to know there's other real estate people out there. There are. He is a good guy. That's why I have him on. Nice. You bring some relevance here. Tom says, I'm thinking 75 basis points. I got to agree with Tom. I think that's the safe bet. But I got to imagine three, four months ago, 75 basis points, everyone was saying 50 for sure. And all of a sudden, after that Jackson Hole conference where Jerome Powell stood up and said Volcker probably five or six times and said, he's going to keep on with doing what he's doing and raise those rates. Everyone was like, ooh, maybe he's real this time. And then people in the bond market are like, he's full of it. He's not going to do it. We'll see. We will see. BlackRock is my landlord. That's the one that concerns me. Is these big enormous institutions are buying up all these houses. And there's a great video by a guy from Coin Bureau talking about you'll own nothing and be happy and what it all comes down to. This is the scary outcome. I think that could be. These big institutions have everything. You rent for a low rate. You don't own absolutely nothing and they keep everything. Scares the hell out of me. Yeah, that's true. Do tall cigars, should I buy Bitcoin today or tomorrow? I can't give tall cigars any advice. I can just tell you what I do, I buy every day. But remember, I buy crypto, but I also sell crypto. And there's a big distinction. I'm trying to get away from that nonsense of, okay, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy and then never talk about selling. There's a video on Saturday I just did which kind of outlines when I sell and why I'm selling and at what points I'm going to sell. But make no mistakes, I am selling. I am not a diamond-hander. I'm not holding forever to give to my grandkids so they can waste it on something. I'm just not gonna do that. I made all the money, they gotta make money. I'll help them out, but come on. And we're gonna go, any sweat cleaners? Well, I'm glad you asked. No, not really, there's not really much going on. The price is going down and sweat going. So that's what it is. I don't know what this is. Ah, here we go. Little background. My builder still has quite a few new builds in the backlog. None of those trains are extremely slow due to lack of workers. Yeah, yeah, that's another thing. The worker pool, you know, it's very hard. I mean, everybody I talked to, it's hard to. And I was talking to a gentleman at my facility and he was talking about how he, he's just a gig economy worker. He drives for Uber. And he says he makes 2000 bucks every week. And this is an El Paso. El Paso. And he said, yeah, I make two grand a week. And, you know, I am my own boss, do whatever I wanna do. And I can go on vacation when I want to. He goes, why would I go back to my old job? I'm not doing that. So yeah, makes sense to me. Get your, get your shorts on a 155 tomorrow. Tesla, I don't know about that. I can't even say that one. Darth Mike will probably have more volatility on the last Friday of the month when futures options expire. I always forget about that one. Usually on the last Friday of the month, but at the moment I think there are more shorts. I gotta tell you, a couple of days ago, I think we had over 400 million in shorts liquidated is Doquan hiding in Ian Baleem's shed. That's a good one. I like Ian. I know some people say, ah, he showed me this, he showed me that. Look, you can say that for every social media person that puts themselves out there, including myself. You think I'm guilt-free? How many times did I talk about Bitcoin going 150,000? How many times did I talk about Ethereum going to 10,000? How many times did I talk about Voyager, VGX going to $30 for a token? It's true, I did. But I also said, on investment advice, this is what I'm doing, be careful. And I think people just got away from it. That's really what it comes down to. So, should I have sold more? I should have sold more. Did I sell? I didn't sell more. And that's just the truth. And do I have crypto locked up on Voyager and Celsius? Absolutely, I do. Which, speaking of which, we will be doing a Twitter Spaces, me and Simon Dixon. And the guys from the Celsius squeeze something or other. They're very active on Twitter. And they've been very vocal about they don't like the way that Simon has come in and given different options. And they think that he has his own agenda and he's trying to buy everything on the cheap. So I said, you know what? Let's all get together and talk about it. Because I'm sick of this going around thing. Let's just get everything on the table and say exactly what it is. And then we can move forward and we can get the community behind one specific thing. That's it. I'm getting old, man. And I've only got so much time on this planet. I don't have time to deal with the cheesemate. Give me the facts, then we'd go from there. How's the pure house? That's pretty good. It's a lot better than a lot of other people's. It's not a big E. People's houses are gone. Those roofs are gone. Electricity, I think, is out in a lot of different places. That's why we talked about, for donations, don't give to the Red Cross and the big government agencies because it's so, so slow to trickle down. And we talked about there's some local agencies you can give to, one of those being Protecho's because they're gonna have to build a lot of different roofs out there. And people need a lot of items that can go right now. So watch the video from yesterday, there's a link in there. Get many of them people now. Brian says, too many baby boomers of money. That's got a point. Noel says, crypto must go in more friendly countries. Yeah, I gotta agree. Hello, bullish. Yeah. So Billy Bob says, if there was a catastrophic event, how can we use blockchain to transact? Now, no power, no Bitcoin. You know, there's a couple of different ones that you can use. One of those is Divi. You ever hear of Divi? So Divi just uses a text message service. So if you still have some telecommunications, you could use it in that way. But for Bitcoin, how can you transact? You can't transact. But here's another thing. If you have no power or anything else, how are you gonna transact with your debit card? Or your credit card, where else? That's why when people say cash is king, cash is still king. And if you wanna hide any transactions, I gotta tell you, it's not with credit and debit and crypto, it's cash. Just remember that. So what the heck? Brian says mining is something for now, solar will be a way to go 22 cents a kilowatt hour. I shut down your miner. I'm moving to eight cents at a commercial location. Yeah, still too much. That's a lot of money. So there you go. Necessity is the mother of all invention, right? Yeah, Noel says, ETH now is a US product under the SEC. The SEC just asserts that. It's not that there's been any law passed. Remember, the SEC's job is not to make the law. The SEC's job is to enforce the law that has been laid out by lawmakers. There's nothing underneath there that says that ETH is a US product. Doesn't make any sense to me. But that's what the, one of the, the wordings were in the Wells, whatever, to Ian Bolina. The Wells notice. Calm down, Billy. The cash register event would probably mean you don't need nothing of value. Hey, look, I, I was raising a farm myself. We didn't have a lot of electricity either. You know, somebody just don't need it. Be more, be more bearish, would you? Oh, I can try. Look, I'm just a realist. I still think there's a, we have had a long, long road ahead of us and it's gonna be bumpy and it's gonna suck and it's not gonna be a lot of like to the moon lambos and stuff like that. It's gonna be a while. And, you know, it's just the same thing I did in 2018, 2019. I think some of you were here with me. Well, not here in the channel. Channel started in 2020, I think. So again, if things go down, I'm just, just delicose averaging. Oh, and speaking of which, have you guys seen this website? DCA-CC.com. I wanna see what I'm showing you. DCA-CC.com. It's kind of like DCA-BTC.com, but you can do with the top 100 cryptos and pick a time frame. So like, I'm just gonna show you what I did. So like a hundred, about a hundred bucks a week, right? A hundred bucks a week. That might be super expensive for some people. Some people, it's like, that's nothing. So we'll just go a hundred bucks. Let's see. Let's pick, I started around 2018, January, ah, summer, middle of the month, something like that. And then let's put it today. So a hundred bucks a week, we'll calculate that. And what I like about this is that it'll show you like the average price during this whole time. And it'll see, you see in the bottom right-hand corner it says ROI. Like you gotta understand that you're, you're sucking wind for a long time. The ROI, it's like, you're down, you're down, you're down, you're down. Let me just show you this one. This is the one I like. This was me. Just dollar-cost everything in the Cardano. Down, down, down. My friends are going, you're stupid. Why are you doing this? I'm like, I think it's gonna do well. And then of course I'm down and down and down. It says a 19, still down. Just plugging away. Now to be honest, there was a couple of weeks when I'm like, man, this isn't work. I'm giving a towel. Then I would come right back because another upgrade, something happening. And I would come back and then it's time went on. So like if I would have sold, I'm pretty good. And that's, so I invested 19,100 and you get 685,000. That's not bad. Am I saying that's gonna happen to everybody? No, I'm just saying that's what's, you know, could be if you sold the top. Here's a hot news flash. I've never sold the top ever. But excuse me. So the website again is dca-cc.com. Interesting. And you can do all the ones. So you can kind of just see it. I like those because it kind of gives you visualization. But there is one thing that is super important in that one. That is that you just see the very top, the 600 or whatever 1,000 it was. But you see after that, how the price went down a ton. It's because you got to make sure that you sell at some point. Don't forget that. Nobody, everyone broke taking profits. Not financial advice. If you want to hold on forever, it's fine. That's a great question, man. When sold the power in Puerto Rico? When I get down there, maybe we should talk about that and putting our efforts into doing those types of things. It is. One butter knife. That's a different time. Let's see, where do we go? Oh, so Rao, I don't mean to be off topic. Didn't she recently buy a home in Puerto Rico? Yeah. Do you know how your home is doing? Yes. We have property managers that deal with it. The same thing is okay. Problem with the shower nozzle or something, but not too bad. Let's see. Buy the, EOS is going to the moon, to the moon. I don't maybe, you know, Beardy would like to hear that. Hello? Oh, this other one, Zed Zed. There's a Bitcoin minor satellite in space. Just connect to the satellite, the Transact and Bitcoin. You know, my favorite question though is, but what about an EMP, Robin, let your man get a pulse? I'm like, I've been on this planet almost 50 years. I've never gone through those. So I don't know what to tell you. Cryptometrics, I hope XRP goes to zero. I don't. I still have some XRP. Nick says, Robby DC, I'm in tomorrow. Nick, this was a great, because what I used to do, and it worked out pretty well for the most part, is I would wait until the announcement and then I would just see what Jerome Powell said. If it was in line with what people thought and the markets rallied, then I would buy immediately and then I would just wait for the things to go up. But then I would also, if it went the opposite way, like last time I think it was, and it was so aggressive, I would just wait and then wait for the market to drop. And I would take a point and go, oh, that sounds pretty good. It's going there. Worked out great last two or three times, but this one, I didn't get into it. I had a lot of things going on, so I just let things go. I will, no, not may, I will. If Jerome comes out and says a hundred basis points and things just tank, I will do what's called dynamic DC-ang and buy a little bit more so I can cash out more later. JH says, Rob, you've inspired me to start a YouTube channel, fantastic. I just got into crypto to hide the bull run and I'm almost, I'm down almost my entire portfolio. Sounds exactly like me. Got into in 2017, lost running full of 85, 90% and I still was too damn stubborn to get going. Captain obvious, Rob, very funny. That's a good one, David. We are due for many bull rally tomorrow, perhaps? Ah, that's a good question. But if we do, I might be selling some. A little bull rally would be nice, especially as we've hung around 18K. And yeah, black rock is everyone's lord, that's the truth. Money is the greatest disadvantage. John says, Rob, wouldn't it make sense for sellers to give us our crypto back when the market tanks? Imagine Bitcoin at 9,000, it'd be cheaper to give it back. Depends on where the funds are coming from. I mean, where is their, my question is where is their liquidity? As I was taking a look at the financials, not too long ago, they were supposed to run the money in October and all of a sudden money magically appeared and they have operating expenses all the way till 2023. And that's just the operating expenses. The question that I have is, first of all, where'd all the crypto go? That'd be interesting. And the second of all is cash on hand. What do you have and how much do you have available to fill that hole? Cause the hole is over a billion dollars. So that's a good question. CTO Larsen needs wrenches, he does. Pioneer, better trade than Ether. I don't know, maybe. Celcius short squeeze. You know, I just don't understand the short squeeze. I can understand the initial parts of it where people really like, we want to punish the people that punish Celcius. Okay. But then as we've dragged this on, like now who are we punishing? You know, and who is it all for? And from the things that I've seen, I mean, who are the heavy Celcius holders who are cashing out? They're the ones that are making the money. Just something to think about, that's all. Mm-hmm. Yeah, Tika says, what do you think about a sweat staking 12%? That's a pretty high. I don't know. I was just, to me, I don't know. I mean, it sounds pretty good, but if it's too good to be true. Yeah, I don't know. The question I have, I don't even, I don't know this. Maybe you guys can help me is what the lockup period is. Go from there. 12% is pretty damn high. I was just surprised that near protocol was able to handle the transaction speed or all the transactions for sweat coin. You know, sweat coin is 80% of their whole transactions on chain. 80%. Diamond hands never sell. Yeah, look at that. 1,000 people watching today. It's always good. Ben just says, you can still go broke taking at profits if you spend it all. Well, that's true. I can't help you after that. Ah, Robin engineer, I'd be happy to help you look for alternatives. Sounds good. Always find me on Twitter. I mean, they're constantly even though I shouldn't be. Damn Twitter is annoying. Annoyingly addictive. Another thing, if anybody has any insider information on how to get that blue check mark, I'd really like to talk to you because I've tried five times now and they keep denying me. They've done that in me, then I've been and I was the other guy. I forgot. I think that's it. Wow, 12% is 12 months. I guess they for a full year. That's a long time. Holy smokes. That's right. Damn it, I keep hitting the wrong button. Do you think it's stuck on 617? Yeah, I would draw it out after that for sure. No. So Corey says, Rob, do you use a traditional bank for your home loans? So we bought cash for the houses and because these reporter recon properties and to get a loan over there is like an act of God. So that's what it came down to. And then if anybody's curious, as far as how much you can get for each crypto if you stake them and the lockups and all the data, there's a great website called stakingrewards.com. And you can just scroll through here and just see what the average rewards are. You know, Solani gets 6%. It's pretty good. Ethereum 5%, but he got to deal with the slashing and the lockups and whatever that happens. Avalanche is 8%. Polkadot is 14%. Cosmos, 18%. What? Sweet Mary and Christmas. That's huge. 10% for polygon? Oh yeah. ICP 8%, 8% for flow. That can't be right. 54% you're playing with fire. EOS is 33%. Oh, what? That's what it says. Anyhow, Algoround 8%. So if you're, you know, just look at the actually infinity is 61%, that's insane. If you're looking for something like that, I can't give you advice for which ones to do. I would definitely take a look at the lockup periods at any kind of like penalties and go from there. That's, that's insane. And if it's too good to be true, well, it usually is. Oh yeah. And then meld 12%. I've locked mine up though, a while ago. Did not know that. You see that Gemini now is a staking option for medic. Not just there. Very nice. I thought Gemini would never do that. Yeah, no kidding. Dump. I need to stake it. Oh yeah, it's locked up in Voyager. Womp, womp. How many shares do you have in Twitter? I have not as, not enough. Holy smokes. Bitcoin's at 18.7? Thanks. I'll speak to some people already. Thank you. And that's it, everybody. OK. So today's going to be a really, today. Next two weeks are going to be kind of odd, so stick with me because we do this charity course for kids here in El Paso, off to the course. And I do, I work with the guys to do the construction and the marketing and getting things together. So usually I work out there in like the morning, like six in the morning until it gets too hot. And I come into the video and sometimes it gets pushed out. So just be a little patient with me. So don't expect these to be on the same time every day for the next two weeks. That's it. So look, everybody, thanks for stopping by. I do appreciate, like today's video, thumbs up, subscribe, all that good stuff. But that is it for today. Thanks for stopping by. That's it for today. So thank you. I'll see you in the next one. Adios. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
