 Okay, ah, Red Panda, it's nice to see China taking action against real dealers instead of people buying. That's a good point, actually. I never thought about that. Yeah, because I've heard of a couple of UK banks are closing down people, and there's an option for, well, the option is, if your bank is playing that game, there's other banks out there. And I think the banks that are going to be ahead of the game are the ones that are going to say, you know what? I don't know what's going on with this crypto and digital assets, but it seems like people want it, so maybe we should offer it. Maybe they'll do the custody service. Well, it says Rob's got that Tangem ring already. You know, so we talked to Tangem yesterday, and I will tell you, to be quite honest with you, to buy crypto on Tangem. First of all, Tangem is a cold storage wallet, and it looks like this. And it's why I, it's like my ledger, which is over here. It's always, it's down here, hold on, this one. I diversify in my cold storage devices because I don't trust anybody. I have a trust issues. And I had the guys on from Tangem yesterday, and we were talking about buying things on the cold storage device, which is Tangem. And I gotta tell you, it was kind of pricey. I would never do it. The only thing I'm going to use this for is what it was designed for. What it was designed for is to hold my crypto and have nobody else steal it. And since 2018, they've had 850,000 various wallets created, and they've had zero hacks. But if you're looking to buy it on Tangem, the prices are outrageous. Personally, that's what I think. But if you ever tried on ledger, it's the same thing. I'm still going to use Coinbase. I know people say, Coinbase sucks. Hey, I'm an American. I've only got some limited options. And I keep using the Coinbase one. And I dollar cost average, and I goes off that a hitch, and I transfer it over to my cold storage devices, and that's it. I'm a simpleton, and that's it. All right. Ben was lurking to make sure no chart of violations. I'm telling you, was Ben here? I didn't miss him. Hey, Ben, if you're still here. Yeah, I'm telling you, so I show a lot of that of Ben's side and of the cryptiverse, and I'm totally, I'm not stealing from it. We've had a talk, but he's like, hey, you don't show too much. I'm like, sure, man, don't worry about that. All right, but no, no, I can't show everything. And people were asking me like, what about the time in wristbands? That's what I based on me selling 80% of my crypto. What about that? Can you show us all the time? I'm like, no, I can't. That's like the hallmark of what I'm basing a chunk of my exit strategy. So I can't show you that. Yeah, really going, really going today. Ben texts as I'm waiting for 3,500, 3,500 again for Bitcoin. Yeah, that'd be great. But that was, that was December 17, 2018, I believe, some around the 2016 or 17. Dirty Johns is just the opposite of what Ben says. And you'll be good, Rob. Hey, talk about what you want. Ben's been right so far. So we'll see how it all works out. I'm a temp speaker, yes. Let's see. Great question. So Raman says, Define NFC with a narrative in the last bull cycle. I believe in token, also meta, meta versus were another one of those. I believe tokenization and platforms like Ripple that could be used to create CBDCs will drive the next bull. What's your thoughts? Yeah, and that's one of those things we gotta take a look at. Now, correcting the comment section, but as I understand it, Ripple is working with some certain banks to create a CBDC. Some people, let me verify that first, because I don't want to talk out of turn, because then you spread misinformation and people hate your cuts. So as far as like the narrative, payments will be big. I think it's high time that we just accept the fact that Bitcoin's not a great peer-to-peer transaction process. But what about Lightning Network? Well, implement it. I know we're implementing in different places. I've used it before. Works great. The thing is, are there a lot of these places that we go to integrating Lightning? And if it's not integrated, what am I going to do? So I can't use Bitcoin, especially in the height of a bull market. If I want to buy coffee for three or four bucks at Starbucks, and that is, don't make fun of me, but I only drink straight black coffee, nothing in it, and small. So like three or four bucks is what it costs. So if I go to Starbucks and I want a $4 coffee, I can't use Bitcoin. I mean, the transaction fees are like, at that point, might be five bucks. So well, at least maybe not five, maybe it'll be lower, but it'll be a big chunk of it as opposed to what Visa would charge. So I think when we take a look at Solana and the low transaction fees, I know people hate it. Some people love it. They could be very good. I think Cardano could do the same thing. I think Avalanche could do great stuff. Maybe Polkadot, I don't know, whatever you guys got. But I mean, I think payments will be the next thing. And then of course, the next big thing, I'd like everybody to do this as well. Go in, let's just do it right now. I'd like to see where we're at. But I believe the next big wave or the next big narrative is going to be Web 3 gaming, because a lot of these things that actually good games are coming out that people want to play, they've created good games, they're playable, people like to play them, and then the Web 3 aspect takes a backseat. That's the way to do things. And there's a good one called My Pat Hooligan, which is AAA ranked, AAA rated game. It's pretty good, it's out. You can play it for free. They have NFT aspects to it. And then there's one called, hold on, I got on my phone. You can download it right now. It's from, come on, get out of there. It's from Gala Games. Oh yeah, Get Plucked, which is, if you remember Frogger, it's kind of like Frogger or Crossy Road. It's more like Crossy Road. But Get Plucked is a mobile game. And of course, it uses aspects of Web 3 and crypto and digital assets. So let's take a look, see if I can find it. Categories. And again, coingecko.com, CoinMarketCap has the same thing. Let's take a look at the category of gaming. Well, ICP gaming, I guess, I don't know. Immutable X in 24 hours is down 0.8, but it's not bad. 0.9% for seven days. Oh, look at Gala. It's pretty good. It's up 16, almost 17%. Now I believe that the next biggest one would be Solana. I think Solana in the last seven days is up 20%. So not too bad. Apecoin, I actually used that for Rec League. I actually had to use it, so I guess it's there. Wax, Magic, Ronin, up 0.3. Oh, look at that. I didn't do this, but I'm just saying, sweat economy is up 16% in the last seven days. Wow, holy smokes, veracity, I don't know what that is. 73%. My neighbor Alice, it's a game. Ultra, 2%. Nakamoto games up 25, geez Louise, 25%. Man, YGG, up 18% and 1.7. Avagacchi, two, and some other Guild of Guardians. So yeah, just take a look at that. I think that game is gonna be the next thing, the next actual use case. I could be wrong, but I'm wrong a lot, so it's okay. Well, I'm not, I did some things right. All right. If you don't have trust issues, you haven't been in crypto long, very true. Right, Fannis says Ben was here because he said yesterday's show asking David about Bitcoin dominance, perhaps. I'm gonna do a video, it's called, it'll be called, Matic Dominance. See how that works out. Norman says, I copy, paste my question again. I'm confused, Rob. For a while you said that ETH scared you, and lately you've been reading that you DCA it. If it scared me, I can't think of why I said that, but I've been dollar-cost averaging for as long as I can remember of Ethereum. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you, man, but I've been doing it for quite some time. I think at some points I did this thing called micro DCing a long, about over a year ago, and but it wasn't Ethereum, it was across everything. So not for sure. Yeah. Hey all. SoulBull says it's too early to talk super cycle, and that's the narrative you're gonna hear. And that's what, look, if you're here, you're essentially a veteran and a pro. You've already been here, if you're a 2021 class or 2017 class or maybe 2013 class, you already know what's gonna happen. We're gonna chop sideways. Maybe we have a secondary scare, things go down. Something happens and we start to, when things get bearish, it's like it'll never get better. And then we go into the bull market and things can only go up. The problem is that you're gonna hear the same narrative from people that I heard in 2017 and again in 2021. And even as a veteran, like even I got kinda sucked in to 2021, I'm like, well, there are things are different. You know, we got this great micro strategy and Michael Saylor's here and he's buying up a bunch of Bitcoin. He's saying he's never gonna sell. Okay, that sounds pretty good. And then we got this thing called Luna Luna Terra Classic. And it's an algorithmic stable coin that's backed up by Bitcoin. That sounds pretty good. It's gonna work out pretty well. And then, hey, you know what? We don't have the mount goxes because we have these centralized exchanges and they're very safe. They're not gonna get hacked. And of course, even Voyager is a broker of multiple exchanges. And of course that can't go down. It's like thehotels.com and I got sucked in. And what happened? Well, well, Michael Saylor is still going strong. But of course, we know what happened with Luna. We know what happened with those four different exchanges that we talked about. And we know what talked about the rug pulls and the problems and the hacks. It always repeats. There's gonna be some problems coming up and it's up to you to decide when you have to get out. I have a link in the description for when I'm going to sell 80% of my crypto, but just be aware that in 2017, same kind of narrative. It can only go up. It's gonna be awesome because of this, this, this and community and blah. 2021, the same thing. It can only go up, blah, blah, blah. But at some point, the bear market catches up with everybody because the tech has to catch up with what people's promises actually are. So just be aware of that. All right, Tesla hopeful as well. Rusty Bodd is here. If and when the yield curve will go back to normal and all stocks crash and look in all currencies and see how much they debase again, the money would be smart to buy some, put some money in Bitcoin for investors. So that's the thing. And if you take a look at it, as far as like the correlation between the entire crypto market, even take a look at Bitcoin correlation between that and traditional markets, S&P 500 and NASDAQ, it does line up, but not all the time. And I think, I showed this yesterday. I'm gonna show it again because I think it's that important. You have to understand that everybody's looking for the gains right now, right? So on the treasuries, I think the 10 year just shot up and it's close to being in with equilibrium with the two year as well as want to take a look at the 10, two year and see what's going on. At some point, those rates are gonna drop because you can only get so much, people can only get in so much and people that are actually in there in the early time are gonna take their money out and go, you know what, I think there's more gains than 4.82 or 5.26%. I think there's some really massive gains to be had and I'm gonna put my money out there to make it work for me. And when people realize and really realize, and I think this is the narrative moving forward, especially with the BlackRock, the Fidelity's and all the institutions coming in, they're gonna be reminded of this. And I showed this yesterday. This is from Charlie Baleo. It's great stuff. And he says, look, if you take a look at the total, the asset class total returns since 2011, it's not even close. Like I can't even, I don't even know what that number, it's the 2011-2023 cumulative for Bitcoin is 8,908,509%, which sounds ridiculous, but it's true. But if you annualize it, it's only 144%. The next biggest one is NASDAQ. US girls, large gaps, convertible bonds, and it goes way down from there, right? And of course, there is more volatility, but I think if you're an institution, you're like, well, do I put in the bonds right now? Probably a good idea. Or big whale investors, but they see it, they know about these four year cycles. They know about the liquidity. They know about the macro factors and they're like, you know what, maybe we should put something in a small allocation because who knows? And we'll just play the numbers. They're playing the numbers, there's no bigger number than Bitcoin. And of course, then they get to the DGEN partner, they get into altcoins because let's be honest, everybody has a DGEN side to it. That's it. Good question. It's a bad joke. Peace to everyone, I like that. Oh, I didn't know this. See this, like I can't keep up with everything. Veracity is burning 50% of their coins. That's probably why it's up so much. Jay today says, when you get things wrong, it's beneficial for us. Yeah, because I don't get to come out here and eat crow and go, you know, I was wrong on this part. Like September, how many times does September, I was talking about, it's gonna be a really crappy month. I'm still gonna dollar cost out, just I think it's gonna go down. And it wasn't wrong. I also had a price prediction. Bitcoin was gonna go to 150K, and I revised it to 100K. Didn't even hit that. All true, Rob, it's important to take profits. And then, look, these are the things we have to think about now, right? If you don't have a plan in place, you're planning to fail. If you don't have a plan for taking profits, it's gonna suck because your emotions are gonna take over. And that's why, like I have no problem buying. I have no problem buying every day, right? I think we're all pretty darn good at that, correct? But I think when we get into that bull market, we're gonna be hurting a little bit because people are not, they're gonna do the same thing, you're gonna write everything up and write everything down. I put this tweet out, and it didn't give much traction because no one wants to talk about selling right now, but I'm trying to get people's minds in the right mindset. And I said, I go, just a reminder, at some points you should take some profits. Isn't that what crypto was created for? For future transactions? And now, hear me out. Just hear me out. Cause people will say, I'm diamond-handsing forever. That's what Michael Saylor's doing, and that's what I'm doing. There's a huge difference between you and the billionaire that is Michael Saylor. Let's just be honest. It's beneficial for him to buy and hold Bitcoin because he's a proxy for an ETF for his company MicroStrategy. And I know he believes in it because he hasn't sold anything. And it's great for his company, it's great for him and he really, I mean, I can't say anything negative about it, but I'm just saying there's a huge difference between you and him. If you have massive bills, if you don't own your house, if you have kids to put through school, it's important that you do these things just a little bit. Now you can hold it on, and then maybe in 20, 30 years, it's the next reserve currency, I don't know. But what Bitcoin was created for is peer-to-peer transactions. Read the white paper. It's not that long. It's like 11 pages, nine or 11 pages. And it says there very simply, it's peer-to-peer transactions. So for me, like when I sell my Bitcoin or my Ethereum or something like that, it's not that I'm selling. It's what I'm doing is like, when I do that, I'm not just sitting on cash. I mean, not all the time. I want to buy some other assets, right? At some point, I want to buy some more land, maybe some more properties. I need some upgrades for my business. And of course, also the properties. So when I'm trying to pay people, like, hey, do you take Bitcoin? Do you take Ethereum? You don't? Okay, well, I just need to transfer it into whatever, and I said here, I'll convert it to whatever fantasy paper money you want so I can make the transaction for the goods or services or assets. So I think it's just like people say, I'll never sell. But just think about that. You know, that's what it was created for. It was created for you to enrich your life. That's what I'm trying to say. Ah, that's a good question. And Dara knows my weakness, which is lump summing. Rob, if the market drops off pretty hard by chance in the next few months, are you prepared to lump sum? No, I'm not. Should I? Yes. However, I've got another thing to do. And the way that I look at it is like this. I can lump sum. And sometimes I get a little crazy and I do those things. I bought a chunk of alluvium after I interviewed alluvium guys because like I said, we're all a little bit degenerates out there. But between DCA and lump sum, there's this thing called dynamic DCA. I talk about this many times. And there's a link in the description to my website. Dan teaches crypto. It's 100% free. I don't even spam you. I just send you emails when I upload some videos to it, right? Check that out. But like with dynamic DCA, and of course I use Ben's website for this, is there's these time and risk bands. So let's say for example, I'm buying Bitcoin at 100 bucks a week. When the price goes up a little bit, maybe I put a little bit less because this is looking at $75 a week. As the price goes up, it gets more risky, right? Especially if you're in the risk band of 0.9 to 1.0. But as the price decreases and we're in the risk band of lessened, that means the price is going down, I should probably buy some more or some more or some more. So the $100 a week as the price drops off, you can lump sum or maybe you might wanna do a dynamic DCA or maybe you don't wanna do anything because you're talking to a guy who's talking to his computer in front of this really nice green screen and you're like, this doesn't make any sense. So not financial advice. This is the thing that I'm doing. Let me remove this real quick. As we get into these risk bands on the far right side, this is when all your friends will call you and text you and go, hey man, what's up with that Bitcoin and Ethereum and Doge and whatever else? That's when they buy. That's not when you buy. That's when you sell. But again, you can do what you want. So that's what I'll be doing. Great question. I question my choices in crypto investing deli's to here. Yeah, if we just would add a crystal ball and just invested at the very bottom and taken all our money and just go lump sum and right there, I've been great. Just doesn't work like that. And right now, just so everybody knows, I've been in dollar cost average since 2022. Not a great idea. Actually, I'm gonna show you something. So this spreadsheet did it all time high. There was a couple of one. I wanna show you Chainlink and Uniswap. So Chainlink, okay, I'll put in here. That's fine. Final look for it. Ton, polygon, number 19, blind. Okay, so Chainlink, when I was taking a look at this, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Let me move this over. The 2021 high for Chainlink was almost 50 bucks. It was $49.16. Yeah, I need to change this. Oh yeah, yeah. The drop in the all-time high. And the all-time low is $5. But watch this. So when we're here, let's go back to 2022. I should go over here. So May 21, it hit it's all-time high, right? This is where I was selling. I didn't really do too much until around right here. Actually around end of January or early February. And what you'll see, let me keep going, what you'll see is that, yeah, it sucks when your dollar cost averaging. Let's do logarithmically. It looks a little bit better. Because these are all percentages. If you're looking at linear, it's just straight at a price, but it depends on how squished it actually is. Logarithmic is an actual percentage from the different price points. So if your dollar cost averaging here, $14, and it goes up, you're like, hey, I'm a genius, it's 17 bucks. But then over time, it just goes here. And it's at $7.30. And you're just kind of dollar cost averaging in this really crazy sideways action range. And I know people will say, well, you know, should I be doing this? Wouldn't it be great? If I can just pick the absolute bottom point, you can try that. It doesn't work out for me. And it feels like sometimes you're just throwing sand in the ocean. But I did the exact same thing over here. And it worked out pretty well. 44 cents and 36 cents and 33 cents and 24 cents. Again, it was the same thing. I was like, man, I'm throwing sand in the ocean. Sucks. But this is where it all pays off when you get over here. Well, not even over here. When you get over here, I mean, you sell a little bit here. I screwed that up. But you come over here, it's $50 some dollars. That's the whole point. But this isn't for everybody. Cause some people will say, you know, this is too much for me and you shouldn't, you should only have best money for the loose. And that's why I say it's all gone. Those are my rules underneath me. Everything's a scam until per otherwise. Don't leave any exchanges. Put them on your, your Tangemar, your Ledger, or your Elepal or whatever. Don't use leverage and take profits. Those are the rules and those are the rules that have worked so far for me. So yeah, that's it. But to be fair, I am down since investing in 2022. That's just the truth. I think that all these Web3 games will take the money from people. They're just L2 on blockchains, yeah, you know what it's the same thing is like a lot of these Web3 games are just gonna take money from people. However, if you think about it, if you like to play games, then you get to play a game. And maybe you get an NFT and you're like, well, that's cool, but you know, maybe I'm like to play games. Like me, I play games on my phone just to kill some time. Not a big deal. I think it's a little bit different, but you're right. There's gonna be some scams. It's gonna be that way. This is the problem with investing. And this is why I diversify a little bit because you're gonna lose on some of these. That's just how it goes. So, but again, I think that's, there's actually utility for Web3 gaming. Nuno says, yes, altcoins are the crypto casino. That's why people like to gamble. Yeah, see, Red Pan has said, I don't know, I've got it almost a year ago. It's my first real cycle. I'm gonna do this video. It's called the art of dumping. I know, maybe I'll work on a title, but it's actually the art of dumping, how to take profits or taking profits. And what it is is, I know everybody thinks that when you're selling, that you're selling to some sweet little grandma in Dubuque, Iowa, and you're taking all her money. But in reality, when you're selling, you're selling it to people and they're getting it at the price that they deserve. So everybody who was here in 2021, you got their crypto at the price you deserve for what you knew about crypto and digital assets. Moving forward, I think you know better and you won't be on that same end. On top of that, when we think about the people that we're selling to, it's not just always like the individual, remember there's institutions, there's big players, there's funds out there that are buying crypto. Now it's true that a lot of them will do OTC, but at some point, you can only get so much OTC. And there's people that have a ton of money and they're buying and you're selling to them and that's okay. That's called a free market, let's see. And that's it. All right, everybody. So we're coming up on 52 minutes as a reminder. We'll be over with Randy from Miss 10 Crypto. She's got a, I'm gonna try to convince her to change her name to Miss 20 Crypto, but we'll be doing some Q and A. We'll talk about everything that she wants to talk about and the link is in the description. So meet me over there. We'll continue the conversation and that's it. So like and subscribe on your way out. Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate you. And tomorrow, NFA Live with Ben from End of the Cryptiverse and Guy from Coin Bureau will be on this, pretty sure we're on my channel tomorrow. Pretty sure. And a little bit of a different format and I'll tell everybody about that later. So everybody, thanks so much. See you on the next one. Adios.
