rating and review. Folks. Elizabeth Warren's

6
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.800
anti crypto army continues to lose.
They're dropping like flies. We saw a

7
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.240
preview of this on Super Tuesday where
some candidates who align themselves to Elizabeth Warren

8
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:39.240
started losing. And the crypto industry
has gone on the offensive politically. They've

9
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.280
raised an incredible amount of capital,
over one hundred and sixty million dollars,

10
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:49.000
and they're taking those funds and supporting
pro crypto candidates and running ads against anti

11
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.920
crypto candidates. And we know Elizabeth
Warren is the leader of the anti crypto

12
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.479
army, but they are going to
lose. They are on the wrong side.

13
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:02.479
History and disruptive technology always wins.
Go back and look throughout the history

14
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.959
of civilization. So who lost who
in the anti crypto army loss this week?

15
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.359
Jamal Bowman and here Dan Spoller of
the Blockchain Association highlighted the following.

16
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.079
He said, Jamal Bawman, one
of the most anti crypto members of Congress,

17
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:22.920
was soundly defeated in New York's Democrat
primary and his track record, Jamal's

18
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.239
track record is he voted against the
anti CBDC bill, voted against Fit twenty

19
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.439
one, voted against overturning the SAB
one two one from the SEC. He's

20
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.400
a top ally of Elizabeth Warren and
he's anti bitcoy. This guy has no

21
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.680
self awareness. I mean, even
his Democrat colleagues are smarter than him,

22
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.920
because they joined their Republican colleagues to
pass Fit twenty one in the House and

23
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.439
to repeal SAB one to one not
only in the House but in the Senate.

24
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:55.840
So this guy is an Elizabeth Warren
crony. He's a brown noser for

25
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.599
sure. I mean, just look
at his track record, right. Well,

26
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.280
who did he lose to, Well, he lost to congressional candidates George

27
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.519
Latimer. So big win for crypto
here, guys, and a big loss

28
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:12.159
for Elizabeth Warren. Now Fox Business
Eleanor Turrata Fox Business did a great write

29
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.240
up where she highlighted this and also
highlighted another key victory, which was in

30
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:23.919
Utah Representative John Curtis secured the Republican
nomination for the open seed of outgoing Senator

31
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.879
Mitt Romney. Now, John Curtis
is pro crypto. I'll give you an

32
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.919
example. On Bitcoin Pizza Day in
back in May of this year, he

33
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.360
tweeted out about the guy who bought
pizza with bigcoin, and he says,

34
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.439
while the value has skyrocketed, crypto
has become a significant part of our economy,

35
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:45.479
especially here in Utah where Overstock was
one of the first companies to accept

36
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.719
crypto payments. So he gets it. He's pro crypto. Big win guys,

37
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.159
two major wins, and I think
this trend will continue. That doesn't

38
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.159
mean every pro candidate is going to
win every election, obviously that's not possible,

39
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.400
right. I do think a good
amount of them will win. But

40
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:06.759
it shows that we have momentum,
We've got capital, and people are waking

41
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.439
up to this nonsense that Elizabeth Warren
is doing and with her gimp on a

42
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.719
leash. Gary Genser here far your
shares out of Coinbase tweeted at Representative John

43
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:22.039
Curtis, saying huge congratulations to pro
crypto Senate candidate John Curtis on a big

44
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.960
win last night in the Republican primary
in Utah. Folks, we are winning.

45
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.919
And of course, like I said, disruptive technology always wins. And

46
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.680
Elizabeth Warren and her cronies can throw
up hurdles and slow us down a bit,

47
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.919
but they can't stop it. The
genies out of the bottle, there's

48
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.080
no putting it back in. And
like I said, disruptive technology always wins.

49
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.240
Go look throughout history, doesn't matter
what it is. It may take

50
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.479
time, but it will win.
Now moving ahead, this news was circulating

51
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:57.800
today the US government has sent nine
and forty bitcoin worth two hundred and forty

52
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.240
one million dollars to coinbase, and
the questions came up, are they about

53
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.960
to dump this bitcoin or are they
moving it to coin based custody. Most

54
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.960
likely they're dumping it, but this
is not a significant amount of bitcoin.

55
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.159
It will most likely get sucked up
by black Rock micro Strategy and many of

56
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.040
the Wall streeters who are launching ETFs. Here. Scott Melker gave some additional

57
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.759
insights. He says the government has
been selling bitcoin in batches since they first

58
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.879
seized it, and they sold around
thirteen billion dollars worth, So some of

59
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.680
this is the silk road bitcoin and
much more. He says. This potential

60
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.160
sale follows a broader trend of government
bitcoin liquidations, including Germany's recent one hundred

61
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.319
and seventy million dollars sale from its
two point eight billion dollar reserve of seize

62
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.480
bitcoin. Again, nothing major.
They're doing it in batches that they're not

63
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:48.680
like moving the market significantly, and
I would rather they do it now because

64
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.959
it will help us the bottom out
and then we're going to continue moving up

65
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.439
in the bullmarket of course, So
it is what it is. Now.

66
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.639
Some huge news coming out from Mike
novagrats billionaire Mike Nover, who is a

67
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.639
Wall Street guy now in crypto.
His firm, Galaxy Digital, has formed

68
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.680
an amazing partnership with State Street.
These are two powerhouses here. The announcement

69
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.720
is Galaxy and State Street are collaborating
to bring investors the next generation of digital

70
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.759
asset based strategies that will offer exposure
to companies involved in the digital asset space,

71
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.279
going beyond cryptocurrencies and bitcoin. Mike
tweet it out, We're excited to

72
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.240
be joining forces with State Street to
offer investors access to the two point four

73
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:36.480
trillion dollar digital asset ecosystem through manager
directed strategies, expanding investment options beyond pure

74
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.399
spot Bitcoin is where we see the
next level of growth for the ecosystem.

75
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.680
Guys. This is why I'm still
bullish. We're still relatively early. The

76
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.120
infrastructure is still being set up for
these massive institutions. We still don't have

77
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.959
full crypto regulations yet in the United
States, so that tells you where we're

78
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:56.199
at. Once we get that legislation
through, guys, you're going to see

79
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.639
more of these type of activities coming
in mergers, acquisitions, partnership, global

80
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.360
expansion, and much more. There's
a lot of capital on the sidelines that

81
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.199
want to come in. Some of
it is starting to come and be the

82
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.199
ETF. So I hope you guys
saw what happened when the big one ETF

83
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:15.439
went live, right the inflows billions
of dollars. And just imagine when we

84
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.680
have full clarity and there's no if
stands or bots or looking over your shoulder

85
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.319
and worrying about regulators, people are
going to pour in a ton of capital

86
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.879
into this ecosystem. And that's why
I've been telling you guys, I'm not

87
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.480
only excited for this bull market,
but for the twenty twenty eight to twenty

88
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.759
thirty bull market. Right, I
told you my strategy taking profits this cycle,

89
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.279
reinvesting some of it, and buying
the bear market dips for the next

90
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.680
bull market. So I'm looking from
the macro guys. I'm trying to make

91
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.639
as much as possible because eventually you
won't be able to make these type of

92
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.040
returns. Right. The asset class
will grow, there will be more people

93
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:55.959
involved in building, and the returns
each bull market cycles are going to see

94
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.680
a reduction. And that's normal because
more liquidity, more people coming in.

95
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.839
Right, But if you are here
early, if you're early to any technology,

96
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.600
just look at what happened at the
dot com boom in the nineties.

97
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:11.399
If you're early to Amazon and Google, right, if you're early to Facebook

98
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.319
and all these things, you did
well. Well. Crypto's like stocks on

99
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.560
steroids because nothing moves like it,
and if you're early here, you can

100
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.160
make some significant returns. Now,
moving ahead, Apparently Cardono ran into some

101
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.959
issues where they were the target of
a DDoS attack, but it was a

102
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.639
failed attack, so just heads up
here, there's not too much to share.

103
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.079
But there was some fud apparently by
coinness and Charles Hoskinson called it out,

104
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.839
but just heads up, this attack
was an attempt to steal staked tokens

105
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.600
with no significant impact on the network's
operation. Now, Coinbase came out today

106
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:53.959
and said, hey, we're not
going to execute the migration of the Fetch

107
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.879
token and with the merge of Ocean
and Singularity. I've been telling you guys

108
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.480
about this merge, it will be
the ASI token. I actually had interviewed

109
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.800
some folks in Fetchai about a month
ago, and I'm bullish on Fetch and

110
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.079
this is one of the reasons why. But coinbase is saying you're going to

111
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.839
have to manually do this, and
they said the timeline. Phase one Ocean

112
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.680
migrates to FET on July first,
twenty twenty four. Phase two ASI will

113
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:24.439
launch and FET will merge into ASI
in mid to late July twenty twenty four.

114
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.720
Once the migration has launched, users
will be able to migrate their Ocean

115
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.720
and FAT to ASI using a self
custodial wallet such as coinbas wallet. The

116
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.320
ASI token merger will be compatible with
all major software wallets. So just fyi

117
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.039
on that I need to do some
research here to prep for this, because

118
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.600
I have the fat token of course, and see what the next steps are

119
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.039
here for me and I'll let you
guys know as well. Now, Coinbase

120
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.440
also highlighted that they have enabled send
and received support for USDC on Algoram.

121
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:01.000
And we see Circle is expanding USDC
to multiple blockchains, which super smart.

122
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.799
You have interoperability on all the top
blockchains. And today I actually interviewed Jeremy

123
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.080
a Layer of Circle. He's the
co founder and CEO. I'll publish that

124
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.600
interview on Monday. You don't want
to miss it. We talk about everything,

125
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:18.120
guys related to stable coins, regulations, tether, you know, his

126
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:24.279
vision for the future of USDC and
stable coin usage and ripples upcoming stable coin.

127
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.679
We talk about a lot of things. To make sure you're subscribe,

You got a notification bell enable you're
subscribed to our free newsletter and so forth.

129
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.080
Now heads up. Crypto firm Abra
settles with state regulators over not licensing

130
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.399
its mobile app. So Abra,
you know, has been going through a

131
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.279
cleanup after they had some issues from
the last bear market cycle. The settlement,

132
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.519
which also names its CEO William Barheight
so Bill Barrheight, requires Abra to

133
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.639
stop making buying, selling or trading
crypto to us ABRA Trade customers and requires

134
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.120
the firm to return eighty two million
dollars in virtual assets to customers. A

135
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.240
group of state regulators investing gated abroin
found that the firm operated a mobile application

136
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.159
for buying, selling, trading,
and investating crypto and didn't get the required

137
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.720
licensing. So looks like this is
going to be cleaned up and they're going

138
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.480
to move on with their business.
Just heads up on that, guys.

139
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.360
