 Great one digital asset news like a top stories and crypto and break them down into bite-sized pieces today Just as the thumbnail suggests. I think there's a little bit of positivity on the horizon at least I hope so and we're gonna take a look at what is going on as far as crypto regulation and the Biden administration And really I got to tell you there could be some positivity So we'll take a look at if they're what the positives can potentially be also We'll take a look at which really corresponds to what we're talking about the Russian crypto test and then lastly in a rapid-fire succession we're talking about coin-based blocking wallets avagacchi and My Puerto Rico video update which is a long overdue and I finally got it done And at the very end we'll do five questions in five minutes in our Q&A session So hold your questions till the end. We'll be through to that Let's quickly take a look at the market and if you're here for the live stream welcome Thanks for stopping by usually do this in the morning, but I had a couple things to do So I kind of push things over here I did a couple of big videos one was the avagacchi one the other one was the Puerto Rico one and This will be my third video today. So I had to kind of do a lot of things But just so you know if you're here for the live stream, thanks so much for stopping by really appreciate it We usually take about 15 or 20 minutes for the news Take about five minutes for the questions takes roughly about 20 25 minutes or so and then we're out of here So again try to hold your questions till the end and then also if you don't know Dan teaches crypto comm It's a hundred percent free website made it for you and go ahead and check that out So that's what we have. Let's take a look at the market I'm gonna go over this quickly and all honesty I only do this just so we can kind of have a point of reference because you know what the price is And I know you know because you're probably like me and check your portfolio about 30 times a day That's usually what it comes down to so In the last 24 hours, I mean Let's take the W. We'll take the little win 2.8% 3.9 for Ethereum I mean 10% for Terra, which as I understand it's their Their minting profits the process a little unbalanced right now, but seems to not affect them too much Everything's up for the most part and that's pretty good. But remember The market cap is still only 1.8 trillion We got a long ways to go before we go back to that 3.1 or 3.2 trillion dollar mark I know people say Rob Why can't you just you know take take the win and not remind us because we have to keep pushing Because 1.8 trillion market cap is peanuts to what we could be and should be and that is just my personal opinion and that is just Not a vestment of vice just a vestment of pain so to talk about that that is great but there is one thing that is a little little that's been wearing in my head a little bit and that is the price of gold and I own gold I own silver I own Bitcoin I just want to heck of a lot more Bitcoin I do a golden silver, but I never understood why gold bugs were like you can only own gold and Bitcoin is stupid and To me, I'm like are we all investors here? Are we all kind of want the same thing? We want to get away from the Fed reserve and all the quantity of easing and get some real hard money something that is Scarce or finite, whichever you want to call it. I mean, let's be honest the gold is scarce It's not finite, but over the last week or so. It's done exactly What it said it was gonna do which is a store of value and you can't deny that I mean, let's be honest It's gone up so good for all the gold bugs even though you guys get a bunch of bashing from us I don't bash it. I mean, I just I want a big tent come on over here. We're all going for the same thing I don't see why everybody's so ticked off But we take a look at even at the price of gold over the last month done pretty good three months Not too shabby One year. All right. I mean, well, you got me on this one 1915, but still we're still of $2,000 and again in times of uncertainty There is there is the narrative and it is playing out over five years. Yeah, I'm looking pretty good, right? Look at this $1,200 and we take a look at all Well, I mean if you wanted to get into gold in 1992 great You got to wait a long time to hit those games. Of course Bitcoin has more games But I just want to bring it up because you know if you're an investor you really want to take a look at the whole narrative out there and not just get pigeonholed and Get stuck in this crappy echo chamber where everybody's like you got to have diamond hands and you got to buy Bitcoin all the time You got to do this the quiet just relax you do Just kind of drown out some of these people out there do your own research I should just be one person that you should take a look at and do your own education Just wanted to put that out there so people don't go a little crazy about these investing things So that's what we got. Let's jump into it and talk about some positive news, right? I know on this channel some people say Robbie. So you're so negative sometimes. Hey, I call it like I see it And this one I think it's that could be a pretty positive part. So what we're talking about here is we all know this is happening You United States president Joe Biden has come out in his administration and said hey We're going to sign some type of executive order on crypto this week And they had you know months before set together a commission brought a lot of people together the CFTC the SEC the OCC PPCC whatever which I want to talk about for as a mnemonic And they got all together and they said this is where we think Crypto should be and as a reminder drone Powell and one of the congressional hearings made it very clear There is they have no ambition to ban Bitcoin or crypto currencies, which is a far cry from from other countries. So I'm like that makes sense I'll take that so here's what we got and why I think it's positive So the move comes as administration officials have raised concerns in recent weeks about Russia's use of crypto To evade the impact of crushing sanctions in response to its invasion of Ukraine just watch yesterday's video We talk about how for them to avoid sanctions It's near impossible the mark caps 1.8 trillion and for them to really get by for an entire country It's not gonna happen But two people familiar with the process said the executive order on crypto was expected to be issued this week And it's been in the works long before the war and that is true I remember reading articles about this to two three months ago and it only made sense I mean we have to get regulation. I mean some people again, I go against the grain on some of these things I think we do need regulation. I think it's great to have clarity. Give me the rules of the game so I know how far outside of those rules I can play and Still be profitable and that's really what it comes down to so the order is expected to describe what government agencies Including the Treasury Department need to do to develop policies and regulations on digital currencies Additionally, the order will explore the possibility of a new central bank digital currency or CBDCs I know this gives a lot of fears a lot of people. I'll talk about that in a second, but in all honesty I mean, yes CBDCs they can shut it off at a moment's notice, which is why I don't really think that globally it's not like Russia is gonna really be you know Clamoring for the United States digital dollar and it's not like we're gonna be crawling over people to get the digital you want I just don't think that's how it's gonna work. Nobody trusts anybody anymore But implicit in the order will be that crypto will remain a part of the US economy for years to come So that's the first part of it and I asked you I asked everybody in a in a quick Survey, you know, what you thought what did you think about this? How heavy will the regulations be and we only had this is about an hour ago or so two hours ago and with 1100 and some votes You've got people believe that The government is clueless on what's going on and I can tell you that yes Some congressmen and women are very clueless on crypto initializes, but Tom emmer Cynthia Lummis Republican from Wyoming they they know what's going on they understand it and of course remember the ex OCC chair office of the Comptroller of the currency Brian Brooks is Now on the administrative staff of voyager so and he's been a part of different legislations Hearing so I think we're in the right direction But I can tell that a lot of people don't have much faith. I get it but check this out So this is an article that just came out today the Treasury Department is launching a crypto education initiative Why is that I'll tell you exactly in a sec So the education materials and outreach push will include information about how cryptos work How they differ from traditional payment formats? This is familiar Lang Treasury undersecretary for domestic finance Lang said a crypto could offer potential benefits such as improving financial inclusion and cross border payments the initiative is meant to educate without trying to stamp out new technology and new innovation because I don't know where you're from but statistically about half you are from America and A lot of you are from Australia and Canada and UK and things like that couple in people from India welcome but just so you know Here in America if you really want to do some pretty heavy investing You have to be what's called an accredited investor, which is really unfair in my opinion You have to have already made a bunch of money so you can make a bunch more money and if you just some you know Regular Joe Joe blow Jane blow that's off the street and it's like hey I want to invest a good amount like no you can't because we don't trust you. You're not smart enough Da-da-da-da, so I think on this part. They're gonna try to do some education great But is this still positive? Well, there is I think comes down to Russia watch So this is how I'm gonna tie it all together. I Think what they saw and this was actually an article in February. We covered this one when Russia was was rushing Russia was rushing to Approve crypto and push it through their parliament and one of the things that they talked about is for them to do this They said we'll do it and we'll pass it but there has to be a crypto test and the test is designed to determine the level of Really financial knowledge about the specifics of investing in cryptos and ensure that they are aware of the risks States if one passes the test then they'll be able to invest in digital currencies up to 600,000 rubles Which I mean this was in February. So take it with a grain of salt. That's not worth much right now Unfortunately, sorry Russia and then however if one fails the test it's not likely they'll be barred from trading but they'll be subject to a limit of 50,000 rubles which comes up to around 47,000 as of February 21 qualified investors and legal entities will make transactions without Restrictions a minute said and I think that's potentially what could be happening here. They're like, hey, we just want to educate Hopefully they do something smart like that. I got to give it to Russia That's a pretty great idea because let's be honest. Have you met some of the accredited investors some people I know their credit investors are morons. I That's just how it is But there's a lot of smart people out there that aren't accredited investors and really know a lot about investing They just can't do it and can't be labeled a credit investor because they haven't gotten that much money Now if you could take a test and go, yes, I understand investing principles. I understand how to do this I understand I'm not gonna leverage myself a hundred to one or whatever if you're doing that whatever I sure But if you can do something like that and then give people the opportunity I think it's a step in the right direction. So I kind of see some parallels between what the government is doing Education trying to put things out going slow bringing together all the different agencies and going what can we do? So what could potentially be a very positive thing as far as regulation look? We got lucky United States got real lucky because China dropped the ball and banned all those Bitcoin miners and guess what they came to Texas my homing different places in the United States, Canada because guess why? They can get away with it The we've got a ton of a natural gas wind Some nuclear power and it worked out pretty well for us It's job creation and that's why you see people like senator 10 crews embrace it because you're like wow my constituents like that Because numbers go up and job opportunities go up and we like that So I think if you take a look at everything, I'm hoping that this will be a very positive thing Will they get it right now? Because nobody gets it right in the beginning anyhow Let me what you think about that in the comment section and that was actually Russian cover test. Let's finish this up with a little bit of Coinbase blocking wallets avagachy in the Puerto Rico update. So I just real quick I wanted just to put this out there just to clarify that Coin bases blocking wallets tied to Russians suspected of illicit activity So I know if some people there's been some things going around that coin bases blocking all Russian wallets It's not the case. It's they're blocking certain wallets. And this was actually before The Ukraine invasion. So this is what's going on Paul Gruel coin bases chief legal officer Said that the company has shared the addresses that they are blocking with the US government to help it with sanctions Enforcement which includes bans of financial transactions by a number of Russian and Russian companies The spokesman added that there has been no increase in sanction of any activity on the service since the evasion So this was before but I got to tell you 25,000 crypto wallets illicit activity. That's a lot I don't know how that is but I can just tell you one thing Which is this if you don't like what exchanges centralized exchanges are doing get it off the exchanges. You've got options now We've taken a look at MetaMask and how there is a potential Well, it really is depending on where you point it is a centralized aspect of MetaMask But there's a thing called a ledger. There's a tracer. You can take that off put in cold storage You'll be okay, and they can't take anything from that. So just remember that So if you don't like these stories about centralized exchanges shutting things down look Everybody's got a boss and unfortunately coin bases got to listen to the administration or else they'll get shut down anyhow That's what we got and then also avagacchi so I Did a deep dive on this? It's a play to earn game which I honestly did not understand Because I'm not a gamer look at me. Come on. I'm not a gamer But I understand where things are going this play to earn With avagacchi we did deep dive and we did a follow-up This is one of the few play to earn games and is launching in three weeks I had Jesse when the co-founders on I linked this video about what's what's happening I don't think you can see this right here, but the coolest thing I found just like Axie infinity You know where you can have scholarship programs. They're not the same thing So like I just bought one of these goofy avagacchi to me It's goofy, but it's not to everybody so I shouldn't say it like that if you like to play that's great, but you can Get you can scholarship people they can play it for you and then you set the terms into how much you do So if someone plays for you you get 50% of whatever they're mining and then you get it to you And you guys split split 50 50 70 30 9 10 or whatever else it is So people who don't have the money to play you say well Just use my avagacchi and they can do that all day long. So that's just one aspect of it Here's the actual website again That's a crazy time, but my job as an investor is not to not to say well That's that is not some I would do my job as investors to say where are people going? They've got a lot of people lined up to play this game already even the defiant Their websites came through and talked about what's going on. This is the game. It's launching and remember a lot of these played our own games They look cool But they're a ways off and this one's gonna launch in three weeks So just so you know again link to the description you can watch that video and do whatever you want of the information with it And just to be totally transparent. I'm super biased on this channel So if I'm talking about it, I bought it But I mean in all honesty that means that you know, I've got skin in the game and that's that is what it is So I have bought an avagacchi I have bought the ghost token and I've bought land on this this platform So you're welcome to join me or not it's up to you and that's what we have and then lastly just so you know I Did a an update on my Puerto Rico video that I've done a couple of them so far And if you don't know I moved me and wife moved here in Puerto Rico in April and mostly for Act 60 for to minimize taxes as far as Capital gains because here you don't pay any capital gains. Also, if you're a corporation You only pay 4% corporate taxes here. It's pretty nice. Great place But I can tell you I made a ton of mistakes doing this and it is here in this video and I put it over on Dan teacher scripted up and again, it's a hundred percent free website So go ahead and check that out. I'll show you exactly where it's at. You go to Dante's crypto and module 3 investing Very bottom go all the way down here There's the mooch. That's the and this one right here big mistakes. It's a long video It's a 40 plus minutes and I got all the links that you can possibly need For everything how to get here the moving non-profit lists relocation services Learning Spanish my personal real estate agents everything you need is right there And I it took me a long time to get this one out and hopefully hopefully it helps people So it's over there at Dan teacher scripted calm so go check it out and that's it That's up for today. So how do we do hey 17 minutes 40 seconds pretty good Not too bad so that concludes all the news what's going on I'm sure there's a ton of things going on in crypto, but that's what I've got So look if you like today's video give it a thumbs up We didn't give it a thumbs down just tell me why try to fix it and we'll go from there So if you had to take off all the oaths, I appreciate you coming by but right now Let's do a little Q&A and see what your burning questions are Thanks for stopping by All right big E Showing the Puerto Rico flag, of course. Hey, man. This also reminds me. We're doing a meet-up tomorrow I don't know where it's gonna be yet. I think we might do the smoke house again Because I like First of all we get a round of beer for free. It's always nice and then of course and everybody knows where it is And it's pretty it's pretty accessible and I know biggie send me some biggie you send me a bunch of things to look at But so busy. I've got a chance So I'll go from there question number one is voyager your biggest disappointment. No in my life No, no, I've disappointed myself many more times in there So voyager if you don't know was my worst calls of all time and I did a price prediction video in January 7th 2021 and I thought that Bitcoin was going 150,000 that didn't happen. I thought a theorem is going to 10,000 That's gonna happen. I thought I was going to three bucks. That did happen I thought chain link was gonna go about 25 that did actually happen But there's one that I really screwed up on that was called a voyager I thought voyager was going to 30 bucks and when I called it it was at 29 cents and people like you're crazy Well in three weeks it went from 29 cents to seven bucks. That's pretty cool So in round February went up pretty high and then just kind of started to slip and why did it start to slip? Well a lot of different reasons first of all the token almost got really screwed up a little crazy the Voyager loyalty program was not what we thought it was gonna be and There's a lot of things that needed to be done as far as installing rails But I talked to Steve Erlich the CEO of Voyager had him on many times and trying to fix it But right now you're looking at like $2 or something like that So if you were gotten at 20 cents, you're still doing pretty good, but you didn't get 30 bucks. Is it a disappointment now? It's a disappointment. It's actually a learning thing. It taught me that price predictions are stupid and When you do those things it gives people too much hype So I'm gonna give you one price prediction for Voyager right now Voyager the token will be between a $1.86 and 20 bucks sometime this year so in between the price it is today and 20 bucks will be what it is and that's what I'm only gonna do for price predictions from now on not giving any kind of numbers Because it doesn't matter. I can't tell you when it's gonna go. I can tell you what's gonna happen Just can't tell you when so Yeah, biggest disappointment now And there's one thing though I do like because I've accumulated enough to be there's three tiers. I'm on a Voyager level Those rewards are sweet if you use Voyager You know what I'm talking about and also this is a this will lead me to my which I should be doing a lot more I forget to do these things. So if you take a look There's a link in the description It's called all exchange and wallet fees and if you go there There's all the different wallets and exchanges that I use and when you go there and you sign up you can get Between $25 and $40 depending what you sign up for so like Voyager's right here It is an affiliate link So if you don't want to get 25 bucks and you can't stand the fact me getting 25 bucks Then don't click on it go right to Voyager I got Celsius and FTX Q coin Gemini and ones I recommend and somebody don't I just don't recommend at all Don't like it and some other ones Cash app. I don't use it either. So go and check it out how they all compare and everything links in the description You can just open up a bunch. Have fun with that. But again with those Rewards it's pretty sweet. I mean I'm looking Good money So I'll say that's all say I do I do okay Question that was a long great question question number two XRP price predictions ever someone it'll it'll skyrocket XRP will skyrocket. I always thought when I first got a crypto I thought XRP was gonna be it I was big XRP because I thought well I don't know where everything is going But I mean bankers it would be nice to have the on-demand liquidity to where they wouldn't have to use the Swiss system Which we know Russia can't know but it'd be great to do on-demand liquidity where you couldn't have to pre fund all these different accounts Globally and you could use XRP and you would save a ton of money it to me It made sense a lot of sense But it didn't make sense for some investors and then of course the SEC came out So I think it's gonna do very well After this someone I think they're winning, but I'm not for sure Thanks, Aaron for stopping by appreciate I I Gotta get this super chat in because people get really ticked off by forget it Wayland, I'm having a try that last one. I know this channel from James. Both your content is great an offensive edge of ice I have 0.012 Bitcoin to eat 20 soul 20 Luna 100 million Shiba good time to add more The worst time to add crypto is never that's all I can tell you and I can't tell you how much but I can tell you this I was You know when we're talking about those those CBDCs the central bank digital coins currencies I don't think that those are gonna fly too well because it's not like we're in 1945 with Bretton Woods Agreement where we were going to be the World Reserve currency because we were dominating everything now if America comes out with a CBDC Sure, I mean some countries will do it But you know, I don't think China's gonna be like oh, we'd love to have your CBDC America and Russia and vice versa so I Always said I don't think I don't think Countries would ever trust each other. I mean really unless something else happened So I think if you have to do something with like a world reserve currency I think you either have to use gold which we know how inefficient that is I got you something like Bitcoin where nobody's in control. There's no like a CEO of Bitcoin You can't go I'd like to talk to the manager that doesn't happen So you just you know the only thing you do is like each country gets so many nodes for Bitcoin And then you just get so many miners and they separate that and that's it That's how I would see it, but I'm just some guy talking to you. So who knows? second question great question Third question Rob thoughts on music and FT is the only nobody makes a lot of sense Because those guys get screwed over there's a friend of mine here Brian He works in the music industry and he talks about this all the time about how These artists get screwed over because of the music labels and you know that but if they just put them out themselves They can make a boatload of more money and they can reach a lot more people So it makes a lot of sense the question is Who are the artists that are doing it and how's it all work? I think it really goes down to like If you're a personality the only way to be Famous or really get your name out there or to make any money was to go to Hollywood You go to Hollywood you addition may make some bit some movies or whatever else great, right? But now everybody's famous right you just be like me just go on YouTube start talking all of a sudden everybody knows you So I think it's it's kind of like that I think there's gonna be a lot of artists that are gonna be created by NFT artists and it's not gonna be the original Music labels that screwed them over in the past. That's my my take Question number four a lot of good-looking women Puerto Rico first of all everybody's good-looking in Puerto Rico It sucks because like I came down here. I'm like I'm reasonably good-looking I'm in reasonable good shape and everybody's in shape Like damn it. I got to really start like doing crunches or something, but yeah Everybody everybody's in shape and good-looking. So this is one of those places that's If you're if you're out of out of shape, it'll motivate you to get in shape real quick. All right. What else we got? And that was the fourth question oh Great question. Rob. You get on the crypt diverse land or he's still bullish in this project. Yes, so You know I talk about Avogacchi. I don't bring you many projects, honestly I brought you a world mobile token. I talked about that that makes a lot of sense to me Right because it helps people you do good. You do well in Africa moving yourself out I've had the CEO Mickey on numerous times and just made total sense meld. I thought it was great again it was built on Cardano and You know, maybe they'll branch out. I don't know but to actually have Loans that pay themselves and the principal and you pay the interest made total sense by the farming process So I'm like well that makes sense did really well, right? And then I brought you I talked to you about Gensokishi Which is a game which again? I'm not going to play that game. Sorry. It's not it's beyond me But they had a game that always what was already a working project on iOS Android PlayStation and the Nintendo switch and I looked at that. I'm like well, they already have Uh a built-in community. So if they switch over to like would you like the free to play stuff? Right, once you start making some money and that token took off like crazy. So now I'm I did talk about ever dome and that didn't that didn't do too Awful it went from like point zero one to like eight cents now. It's not like four cents, but They're okay. I still think you could do well. So this one without a gotcha I think you do well, but there's another one I did have called the crypt overs and I liked it because it was multi chains it was three different chains You had ethereum binance and uh polygon. I think there was one more they did and they built it all on top of these crypto layer ones and it's a really It's a slick looking project with a lot of talented people The problem is how long will they will take to get it out? So I bought land there. I guess Was not cheap, but uh, you know, maybe in the future it'll it'll pay off and that's what I say on this channel. I'm super biased because I don't really talk about much stuff. I don't buy And that's it now if I just figure out the right time to sell that'd be awesome And uh, one more question just to make sure Americans is out of shape. Yes. Thank you for the reminder ah Crypto laner, I just missed polka starter thoughts on polka starter favorite launch pads When it first came out, I thought it was uh, not really the greatest thing of all time But it makes sense that you would first of all polka dots great. I know a lot of polka dot I like got dr. Gavin would I think he's pretty smart guy Part of the aetherian mafia as I call him but as far as polka starter. I can't really give you a definitive answer I don't know what they've and I've launched some pretty great projects people have done extremely well But uh, I think those launch pads are a little bit safer again. I haven't used much launch pads Uh, then actually going and just getting like this some crazy icos that you know, who knows? So yeah, I could go for there and that's it guys. I think Uh, I think that's it Unless I miss something I guess there's this one diesel game. What a great name uh There's this there's this question about charles huskinson And I don't think he dropped out of bartending school, but the question went like this the question was Uh, rob. What do you think about charles? Uh lying about his credentials? I don't know. There was a I guess there was a book out By laura shin. I think that's the lady's name and she's a journalist and she's got uh, A podcast and I guess she did a an expose on On a theorem and the aetherian founders. I think I haven't read it But as far as I've read somewhere charles may have said something about uh, his His education that uh, maybe he was a little off. I have no idea and in all honesty It is one of those things were like you're like well, was it misquoted and and how far was it? What's the real story? I'm gonna just go let charles talk to you that about that But I will say this Uh, if you didn't graduate from someplace I don't really care. I mean look at Charles branson He didn't Some graduate steve jobs dropped out Uh, you know, everybody's favorite mark zuckerberg didn't make it through college. I think they did okay So, uh, I don't really care about uh, the degree I mean if you if you were misquoted, that's one thing But if you're like I have a doctorate at mit That's a little bit odd, but uh, I don't know Really what it comes down to is how will cardano do in the future? I'll leave that up to you guys to talk about in the comment section. That's it. I got to get out of here Hey, locus. What's up, man? I got to get out of here. So thanks so much for watching I appreciate it like this show give a thumbs up not give a thumbs down Just tell me why and I'll see you tomorrow for the next one But I really appreciate you guys stopping by good times ahead. See ya. Bye
