 Now we're gonna transition to the Q and A. Sometimes this, usually lately it's been going pretty long but I try to answer all your questions and then we'll split this up. So if you gotta go and times precious, I get it. So just take off. I'll see you in the next one. But thanks so much. Thumbnail up and, or thumbnail up. Thumbs up. Let's continue subscribing. Let's break into the Q and A and go from there. As an ex employee in IB, say hell no to 24 seven stock market. Yeah. Well, you know, you can buy it just that it goes in later just like on Robinhood. You buy it as after hours trading and then the trades get executed later on. Let's see, fire sale. Yeah. There's gonna be more of a fire sale moving forward. And I talked about DCing and the Alts yesterday. So I think the strategy I'm gonna go with is of course every day I'm gonna keep buying Bitcoin Ethereum unless things get super crazy and starts to really go down really fast, then I'll wait a little bit and then probably pick it up. Probably increase. No, not probably will increase. So as, as the price of Bitcoin goes down, it's called dynamic DCing, you buy a little more. So right here on these Alts, these two that I'm gonna pick up, I'm just gonna pick them up every other week. So the one that I like, it'll be on a Sunday because that's when all the dips are and I buy that one the next week by the other one and it's not even that much. It's like a 20% of what my normal put in. Beauty day, fire sale. Thanks, Jeff. I try to give you both sides the same story. Not just Hopium and not all doom and gloom, but both. Can you go over the blue chips? The only blue chips in my opinion are Bitcoin Ethereum. Past that, it's anybody's guess. I have no idea, but I own a bunch of L1s and then also some DGen plays, which is okay so far. And you can find that on Dan DGen, the second channel. Shilling, all right. Rob, give us your new alt pic. I don't follow the news much at all. Give me some cookies, no. That's gonna keep that one close to the best. I'll let your imaginations run wild, what I think it is. It is an L1, or both are L1s and you can go from there. So this is a great question. Julian says, when do you think the Fed will pivot this year at 2023? Well, if we just listen to Ray, what he talks about, and it was a really good point. Somebody's asset is another person's liability. The banks, they own your house unless you paid off the mortgage, so that is their asset. And of course, your house is a liability unless you do what we do, which is run things out. So when he talks about, you have to increase the interest rate to cover all those debts because otherwise it wouldn't really make much sense. So in all honesty, if you really wanna think about it rationally, if inflation is 8.5% that they tell us and the interest rates are four or four point, whatever it is right now, but stand to reason that we'd have to get around up to the six, sevens or eights. I know people will say, well, that's crazy. How can it be that high? Look, this house that I'm in right here, we got this 18 years ago and we thought we were getting a steal at 7.45% APR. Seriously, that's what it was. And I remember actually, when I was in the military, it was a couple of, well, actually when I got out, I met a couple of medics and nurses who were, like from the old school days of like Vietnam War era and they would tell us that like, they thought that an APR for a house was great at 18%. So it's all relative. So do I think when will the federal pivot? They'll probably pivot when they can see that inflation rate go down and hopefully it won't totally destroy the emerging economy. But let's be honest, we've had a pretty good for quite some time. That's what I got. Yeah, Gabe Koka says even Tim Dillon, I don't know what Tim Dillon is, Tim Dillon, I thought he was a comedian. This might be a good pipe right now. It might be, who knows, no one knows. That's why that's the whole beauty of dollar-cost averaging. And I understand, like me and Ben are gonna go around around on Friday, I'm sure, about this, but I think, and I'll have to verify with him, but Ben had always talked about how in 2014, he went in way too heavy in the Alts and he got crushed. I think that's actually the problem. I think if you would have invested into just Bitcoin back then, maybe 90% or 95% and just take 5% into Alts, you wouldn't have thoroughly felt it, right? So that's my whole thesis. I'm like, well, I'm gonna put most into Bitcoin, Ethereum, 80%, 90% plus, and then I'll just dabble a little bit into the Alts and just see where we go. Cause who knows, never know. It's all about risk and just hedging your bet. I don't know. Ben is, we're both bearers right now, to be honest with. Ooh, Vida Sodium chloride says, hey Rob, I tried SWAT and there was one caveat in my opinion, the app count steps, if you move your phone with your arm from one side to another, I think people could exploit that, or maybe they get a really strong shoulder. I don't know, I don't know, but SWAT is my favorite so far. If you, I've been talking about it forever, so I'm gonna stop talking about it cause people will think I'll, you know, I'm not getting paid by them, no. I do like that app, it's fun. You just walk around and they give you SWAT coins and they're kind of like rewards so you can buy like goofy stuff on their merchandise, on their merch website, that's all. And it'll be a crypto Q3. Six five says, I like some DGEN coin trading, why not? Gotta live a little bit, right? Do you think sold can still hit 103? Yeah, and the reason why is I know some people hate Solana because they say it's a very heavily VC backed and there's problems with it right now, shutdowns and people say, but it's not really a shutdown, it's a slowdown, I don't care. So the thing you have to think about is who's backing Solana? Well, the guy we were just talking about, Sam Bakman-Freen and FCX, they're backing it like crazy. And also we just did a story a couple of days ago where Ledger came out and said, yeah, we're gonna help push forward Web3. And what we're gonna do is we're gonna have our own online wallet kind of like MetaMask and we're gonna leverage the power of Ethereum and Solana. So if you take a look about people who are actually getting into it, Solana is one of those that could do pretty well. But we also thought the same thing about other cryptos which will remain nameless on this show. And so you have to really diversify. Best thing I can ever tell you. Joby says, do you recommend taking a loan against my crypto right now? Joby, I cannot recommend that. And as you may know, I had took a loan out from my house and that was through Celsius and they liquidated me. Those sons that know, remember, and I talked about this before, the only person to blame was me because I was over in Europe and they gave me plenty of chances. They were emailing me and putting it through the app and I just said, I'll get to it, I'll get to it and I didn't get to it and they liquidated me. But here's the thing. You gotta remember, like people say, oh yeah, I looked at you, you lost everything. No, you lose everything. So whatever the loan was for, so let's just say it was for 200,000, right? Let's just say 100,000, just round numbers. Very easy, right? So you have 100,000 and the loan could have been for 2x of your Ethereum because it was for Ethereum. 2x of Ethereum, which would give you around 8%, 3x of your Ethereum would give you 6% interest rate or it can be 4x of Ethereum and you only have to pay out 1% of your interest rate for the loan. So you have to collateralize it over collateralize it. So let's just say that, I don't know how much it was, let's say it was like 50 Ethereum for 100,000, whatever, right, for just 100,000. So you want 100,000, we gotta give us 2x at least. So you gotta give them 100 Ethereum for collateral. When you get liquidated, I just know that first of all, it's a taxable event, so that sucks. But the second of all is that they liquidate the just the crypto to cover that loan that they gave you. So they're gonna liquidate 200%, 300% or 400%. They are gonna liquidate it, albeit the prices were a little bit different, but whatever. So who's to blame, I'm to blame. So right now, do you recommend taking a loan? No, because right now, the only way I would say recommend a loan is if you're Michael Saylor and you've got collateral at the Wazoo. But if you don't, don't, that's it. Okay, I won't bother. That doesn't bother, sure. If that's what it was, that's all I'm gonna say. Yeah, very. So, and then hazmat. At Joby, maybe DCA long-term, that way you're gonna save for slow and with control. Makes sense to me. It's just that now you have to decide if you're gonna DCA on the way down as the crypto goes down or, and that's just if it does, right? Like, you know how we're always in this, and my tub is yesterday. You know, everybody was so damn sure about December 2021, even me, I didn't pan out. And remember how everybody was so damn sure of the specific crypto that collapsed to zero? And that didn't pan out. Do you remember how people were so sure about filling the blank of how much they were sure about something, and it didn't really work out? So to me, I'm just like, you know, everybody's so sure that we're going to, some people say Bitcoin 25K, some people say 22K, some people say to 12K, and some people say to 8K. Which means that our market cap will probably go well below one trillion, probably below 800, 700 billion. If that's the case, then also we'll get destroyed. And everybody so far is like, that's what's happening. I don't know if I can say that. So that's why instead of me dollar-cost averaging my full amount of what I usually would do, I'd just say it's a hundred bucks a day, right? I'm just gonna say, okay, I'm not gonna DCA every day. I'm gonna do it every week. And I'm gonna do it for 20% to 50% of just my usual one day amount. So if it comes up, and let's say that this particular crypto that I'm into goes down by 50%, 50%? Not a big deal because I didn't just say, I'm just putting it all in there. And I don't have any money to put into the blue chipper, which is Bitcoin and Ethereum. Well, let's just say it goes the opposite way. Let's say for some reason, drone power comes out, it's like, you know what? Quarter basis points. The Ukraine war, you know what? We have a ceasefire and we're gonna discuss different peace talks. And then, you know what? In China, they lift that ban, the lockdown's out and the supply chains increase. Who knows? I don't know. That's why I diversify. Ace says, enjoy this tea truck. They're cheap, you can't blame that. If you have a long-term vision, it's okay. And then of course, look, if you got invested in 2021, you're not gonna be a millionaire today. Actually, that's not true. You could be a millionaire if you sold the right time. But if you held the whole time, probably not too happy right now. It's okay, I did the same thing in 2017, 2018. It's all right. Just stick around. If you don't like the price, it'll change. Just might take a little bit of time. How did you handle your Luna loan? I didn't take a loan on Luna. I sold Luna. But I didn't sell all of it like I should have when I was dollar-cost averaging it. Now was the beauty. I was dollar-cost averaging Luna all the way to the day that it would crash. And what was great about it is that I was not dollar-cost averaging a ton of money into it. So because I was doing dollar-cost averaging for a lot of different cryptos. And yeah, I lost a good amount. That's just how it goes. Again, I don't have to have everything be a winner. I don't. They don't all have to be 1,000X. I just gotta be successful in one, maybe two. And so far it's doing okay. I mean, it's from 2017 until today. That's all right. And then moving into from today, let me use Quickman. Let's say in four years from today, 2025, 2026, same thing will probably roll around again. Let's see. I'm in. AK says, I have my original Luna, but I made about 700 bucks. When at the bottom from four bucks I bought. Yeah. What can you do? And who knows, it might come back. I don't think so, but hey, I can't waste so much on that. Oh yeah. So Mark Lovonis says, good day, Rob. With Tesla doing a five to one, I thought it was a 10 to one, but I guess I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Doing a five to one stock split coming up, do you think that it's dropped low enough to be a winner? Don't know, but I do say it's a pretty darn low. So I might, actually I might, I put a little bit more money into it because it could keep going lower, but it could go up. I don't know. So I just dollar cross average into Tesla as well. Tesla, Amazon. I stopped the Mara, but I still own Mara. I do own Coinbase. Coin, but very little, I don't even think about it. But I know I'm underwater with that one. Friends she says, many YouTubers were sure of 100K Bitcoin with January. Yeah, and I was one of them. I didn't think it was 100K, I thought it was 150K. Wasn't right. Yeah. And you know what's funny to me? I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but it seems like as soon as the markets crash, all the, all the, not the advice, but all the comments are like conservative, conservative, conservative. But once we start going up and we hit this parabolic, the next bull run, which I didn't think May was that much of a parabolic bull run. But once we really start to go up, you're gonna see that go out the window. And people are like, you know what? There's this great crypto and I gotta get in. You gotta get into it. It's awesome. 1,000 to one. Sell your house, get into it. It's just amazing what bear markets will do. It just wipes away all the trash. Elon Musk had a pretty good way. It's like a financial enema. Gets rid of all the junk out of you because you never really needed it anyhow. Could be true. That's true. Yeah, look at Coin Bureau. Look at Guy and his stuff. Great stuff. Oh, beauty says nuts. Luna's a joke. Didn't start out as a joke. So I was a pretty good one. But yeah. Oh, so Danny Butts, that's fine. What do you think about the Avax coins? Luna still holds. So remember, I know people are concerned about this, but those are still locked up because with Avax and Avalanche, their lockup period is still out months in advance. So they can't just like unlock them. You lock them up in Avalanche. I have a boatload of Avalanche and it's locked up. And actually you have a state pool that you can feel free to go at it, but mine's not for like four more months. I can't touch it. Which is a good thing, I think. Yes, exactly. I think God, they're locked up. Because can you imagine that? All going down. Yeah, Howard says weird correlation between Bitcoin and the U.S. equity market, NASDAQ. Not really. I mean, it is, but it isn't. Because just like that article we talked about here, where did it go? The income inequality from BlockWorks. Let me show this to you. You know how they talk about people who make over 100,000? Those are the ones that are into crypto because they use it as a speculation asset. And then 150,000 or below are using it just for transactions. So when you have high net individuals, what do they do? Well, they buy different assets, stocks, real estate, bonds, and of course they doubt when the crypto. So it stands to reason that if you got a good amount of money, you're probably over here and probably over here. But if you're more of a speculator and you wanna talk about growth stocks and tech, it's in NASDAQ. And of course, what is crypto? To me, it's, well, it's software, but it's growth and it's tech. So they pretty much, if you wanna take a look at correlation, it's between these two. So now you have 2.66, let me see. How bad are we? Oof, they're going even lower. Let's not talking about it. Maybe I'm a jinxing it. Well, the crypto zombie power, I, yeah. Remember, these are just cycles. These are the most normal things. Now, I used to hate the word recession and the term bear market, but it's just a natural progress. It's like spring, summer, fall and winter, natural cycles of life. And it's the same thing with economic markets. Now, this is a great question. I wonder how many will end up in prison from all the scams that happen when the laws are passed? The bigger question is, how many can we go back retroactively? Not for sure, not a lawyer, but I can tell you, scams are scams, not what they are. And some you can say are scams, but some, as I've talked to more of the crypto orgies in Puerto Rico, there's some insider stuff way bigger than what people believe it is. And that's just the truth. So if you were thinking that, oh, there's probably some backroom deals, you're right. Vanessa says, I'm accumulating gaming alts in the bottom. Do you have any favorites? Yeah, so Ginzo Kishi is a big one because remember what I can talk about all the time. Will it make the cut, the CUTT? How big is the community? What's the utility? What does it actually do? What has the team done before and how the tokenomics might get dumped on? And with Ginzo Kishi, it's ranked, it was nothing in December. And it just came out and we caught it up early. We talked about it on Dan Degen and it went from nothing to over a dollar. Now it's like it's 74 cents or somewhere around there. And it has all the built-in gamers because it launched on PS4, it launched on Nintendo Switch, it was on iOS and Android. So they already had millions of gamers built in and it was like a no-brainer. So there's that one. And then there's, what's that one? With the Ghost Token, G-H-S-T, Abagacchi, yeah, that's it. I think that's a pretty cool game for people who like those types of games. I personally don't, but they got a really strong community, so I like that. Cornucopia's could be great from Cardano because card everything's pretty cheap, reasonably fast on Cardano, especially when they start to build and open up where that threshold is they're talking about. And then games, oh, there is a big game from Fame coming out, which was used by MetaHero to digitalize all the MMA fighters. And it looks like a real great game. And of course, probably big time will be great because just because of the graphics and the marketing they have behind it. So yeah. And I probably forgot some, so that's just the best I can do. And then Gala, yeah, I forgot about Gala games. Gala could be huge because they have like a magazine of different games that you can actually play. They're not all out, but they look pretty fun. Like I even play them. What do you think about Axie and Finney? Not my kind of thing, just isn't. And I mean, I do like that part about the scholarships and the ability for other people to play and make money. But right now, I tend to think like, is that sustainable, that whole way that they do things? I know we've talked about this before and they probably made some changes. So I can't talk about it. I don't really understand it that well, so I won't invest into it. I can only, although some people do say, just invest into it and then do your research, but I can't sometimes, all right. Verandas will be huge, yeah. Splinterlands, yeah. Starless looks great. It looks great. I think that's built on Solana, correct me if I'm wrong. So that should be pretty good. Mr. Bouncelos says, have you checked the legitimacy of that in-game video of the MMA vid from MetaHero? So some people were saying, that's just a cut screen. We'll see how it is. Look, I've seen what they've done with MetaHero and I got a, what do I say? I got a look at it, looks legit. It doesn't look as crisp as maybe that cut screen, but I'll tell you right now, looks a hell of a lot better than the blockiness that is Sandbox. But Sandbox, I mean, it works pretty well for Minecraft, so whatever. Filecoin with DCang, for me now, but for you potentially, if you believe in the, again, if you believe in the project and the ability or the utility that could be as far as like storage on the blockchain, sure. I can understand where it is, but not for me. I'm not gonna, I mean, not right now. I'm not gonna say like, okay, I might add the top two like a DC is for ultimate and pick Filecoin, I don't know. Great question. Howard Jobs says, will Ethereum upgrade and make it by June 20 going to? First of all, not a chance. There's not a snowball's chance in the hell it's gonna happen. Second of all, Vitalik even came out and said, it's gonna happen in August, but we covered this a couple of days ago and he said it could potentially happen in August. But you have to remember that we could have delays because there could be some hiccups and problems. So maybe September, maybe October, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, seven years later, we'll see. I'm rooting for them because I'd like that to happen. Although just remember, we talk about this as well, that's just the merge. And when that happens, that will not affect Ethereum gas prices. They'll still be the same. Sorry. Where to send my project for you to review? Don't, the only projects that I review are the people that I know and trust and I've already vetted the projects. I get 20 offers a day on my email, which is why like on here, damn it, see what it says Dan will never contact you? I'll never contact you. So you can send it to me, but I'm sorry to tell you, it'll probably, I'll probably delete it like everything else. Sorry. All right. It's a good day to crush dreams. Sorry. Let's see. How do you buy land in Everdome? So I can only look at certain, yeah, right now you can only buy, only certain people can get into it, but I think it's gonna be a public sale at some point. I mean, it has to be a public sale at some point. I just don't know when. I'll let you know when I figure it out. So we do point on 2030. Who knows, man? I don't know, Mike. I don't know. Yes, Biggie. Biggie, hope you're feeling better, buddy. Dan Zack, I'm from the David channel. Yeah. Digital asset news. My name is Rob. But for the longest time, people has called me Dan. I didn't buy it. It's the same thing. Yeah. And Equilibid Crypto is right. I can make a cut screen like that and talk about a game that I might make in 10 years. This is our list. Show me this game. He's right. Or she is right. We'd like to see the game. But everybody wants more, right? You get, you're gonna get one, you know, one actual game playing, but like, yeah, but that was only 30 seconds. Let me see two minutes. Okay, that was two minutes. Okay, let me see some other characters. Until you really get into it, of course, that's what it is. But I didn't get into fame because of a stupid game. They actually have two out. One is goofy, I think. But then the second one looks better. But for me, it was all about community. Again, these guys, they do pay-per-view. Their last pay-per-view they did for MMA 14. Now they did over a million pay-per-view sales. And that's just like in a small part of Europe. They're based in Poland, what they're branching out. And of course, all their fighters are influencers. They're like YouTubers and TikTokers and people like that. So one of the provisions is that if you wanted to be in fame and actually fight in fame, they're gonna pay you a salary, but a portion of that was in the fame token now. And also, one of the requirements is that you have to actually promote it on your channel. So, I mean, it's marketing genius right there. Will it make it though? Who knows, I think it will. And that's it, I think we're good. Are you going for a dip? I do it every morning, it's super cold. And let's finish with this, it's a great comment. Len says, hey Rob, love your process, but I was wondering if you could do a sample portfolio video focusing on what profit taking would look like. I struggle with profit taking, I did as well. We're trying to make a plan now, that's great. We should do that. And I got an idea. So, I'm using that app called Sweatcoin because it's free, and then of course, people can, they can track their stats, which is good. You can get paid in Sweatcoin, which is not gonna be a crypto until Q3. But one of the provisions was, if you can beat me, because I walk a lot, so I'm thinking that no one will beat me. So I said, if you are one of the top three people to beat me, I will do a portfolio review live on Digital Asset News. So maybe when I do that portfolio review, if anybody beats me, doubt it, then I can talk about, this is a good, at this point, maybe take profits on these percentages as time goes on. So yeah, I'm a bad idea. All right, that's it. So look, everybody, if you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up. Thanks so much for stopping by, I do appreciate it. And consider subscribing, do this every day, and hopefully it can kind of keep your mind straight about where you wanna be. But that's it. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I'll see you guys in the next one. Adios.
