<v Speaker 1>or Apple, please leave a five star rating and review. Folks,

7
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>let's quickly take a look at the price of bitcoin,

8
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.679
<v Speaker 1>because right now it's treating just below one hundred and

9
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 1>eight thousand dollars. We continue to see some strong movements

10
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>here from Bitcoin looking really good on the daily chart,

11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>with the RSI showing room for more upside and the

12
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 1>mac D flipping green. It literally just flipped green today.

13
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>It has been in the red zone because we've been

14
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>in a bit of a downtrend, but now we're flipping

15
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.119
<v Speaker 1>the other way. So this shows bulls are gaining control again.

16
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Very good signs, right. I like what I'm seeing here.

17
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 1>And on the flip side, you get the DXY Toduller

18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Currency Index hitting new lows. It is currently below ninety eight.

19
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>So look at this huge drop it had going back

20
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>to February. I mean it was up at near one

21
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>hundred and ten, and now it's down below one hundred.

22
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Obviously around ninety seven, and some folks have been doing

23
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>some chart analysis showing that it could head down to

24
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>possibly ninety and of course, risk assets are gonna go bananas.

25
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>We've seen this inverse correlation of throughout the years that

26
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>when the DXYS collapsing, the stock market, crypto and much

27
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>more start to rise, and then on the flip side,

28
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 1>you know if the dxys pumping, risk assets are bleeding out.

29
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Of course, so things are setting up very beautifully here

30
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 1>for a massive rally. Now that doesn't mean we're not

31
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna see volatility. I've been telling you guys, there's the potential.

32
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm not saying it's guaranteed the potential of a

33
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 1>possible retest, but I hope not. I hope that's not

34
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the case. I hope this move for bitcoin is the

35
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 1>move up to new highs and it's going to stare

36
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 1>step its way out of this zone. And once we

37
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>cross one hundred and twelve thousand dollars, we enterprise discovery.

38
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 1>I think we could possibly go to one hundred and

39
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty to one hundred and thirty between that range, and

40
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that could be a local top or the blow off top,

41
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>So we'll have to wait and see as we get closer.

42
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>And then of course all coins are going to go bananas, right,

43
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>You're going to see them follow Bitcoin. The liquidity will

44
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 1>rotate from Bitcoin down to the all coins. So the

45
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.199
<v Speaker 1>setup is looking really good. As always be patient. I

46
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of you want to see high prices.

47
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I know you want to take your profits and all that,

48
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>but be patient, guys, it's all playing out. And Julian Battell,

49
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 1>who works with ral Pale at Global Macro Investor, released

50
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>a new updated Global M two chart, which is the

51
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Global Liquidity chart, and it shows Bitcoin still moving in conjunction.

52
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not a perfect correlation as far as the peaks

53
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and valleys of this chart, but it's more directional, right

54
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that all of these assets, whether it be cryptos, the

55
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 1>stock market, real estate, precious metals, are all following global

56
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 1>equity and global liquidity is essentially the central banks globally

57
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>who are debasing currency, printing money, inserting into the economy

58
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 1>and markets, and that's why we're seeing this correlation and

59
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>really great chart and data that has been provided by

60
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Julian and ral Pale, So it's really a foundational item

61
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 1>that you need to know in the back of your

62
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 1>mind of why asset prices are going up. It's so

63
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 1>important even if you're investing in just stocks or just

64
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 1>real estate, you need to understand what's happening. Now. If

65
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>you go to the micro away from the macro here,

66
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and you go to certain regions throughout the United States

67
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>or across the globe, you're going to have pockets of

68
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>high demand, which drives prices up, right, But the rising

69
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>tide that lifts all boats here is global liquidity. This

70
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>is why you see certain houses which are kind of crap,

71
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>they're going up in value in certain places. You see

72
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>precious metals going up. Stocks, even certain companies that are

73
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 1>not performing well, there's stock price slow goes up. Right,

74
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>even I mean, look at crypto, right, You've got tokens

75
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>like mean coins and much more which rally that don't

76
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>have intrinsic value, they don't have utility or whatever it is.

77
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>But he still go up. And this is what's happening.

78
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>You have that liquidity flowing food these markets and it's

79
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>what drives the valuation. So something to keep in the

80
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 1>back of your mind of what's going on. This is

81
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 1>a key pillar as far as our thesis, and there's

82
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>other things we look at, of course, but this is

83
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>one of the key ones. So really great update here

84
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>from Ralph pallin his team. Now, folks, this is some

85
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 1>very bullish news. It's not hyperbole. I got to break

86
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 1>this down for you. It is massive. So yesterday I

87
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 1>told you that Bill Poulty, who is the director of

88
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the Federal Housing Finance Agency, he tweeted out on x

89
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 1>that he was looking into crypto being used in mortgages. Now,

90
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 1>specifically this is around the loans from the government like

91
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 1>Fannie May and Freddie Mack and so forth. And today

92
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 1>here's what he tweeted out. After a significant studying and

93
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 1>in keeping with President Trump's vision to make the United

94
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 1>State it's the crypto capital of the world, today, I

95
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 1>ordered the great Fannie May and Freddie Mack to prepare

96
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage. Wow,

97
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>how times have changed. This is incredible, folks. And you're

98
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>just seeing adoption on the government side, on the private sector,

99
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's happening globally, folks. This is why I keep

100
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.319
<v Speaker 1>telling you this. We're still relatively early compared to other

101
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>asset classes. There's going to be more adoption, more capital

102
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>coming in in higher prices and valuations. And why I've

103
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>been stating my strategies not only to take profits this cycle,

104
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>but to prepare for the future bull markets because the

105
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 1>infrastructure is being built, the on and off ramps. This

106
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is just incredible, and it's just amazing. And you know,

107
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 1>part of the document he put out there, it says,

108
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>or the headline in the document says, Ordering issuing Directive

109
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to consider cryptocurrency as an asset for single family Loves,

110
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 1>delivered to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It's kind of

111
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>surreal to read this and see this, but it just

112
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>shows where we're headed, that this acid class and technology

113
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>is here to stay now. He followed up that tweet

114
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 1>with the following, Today is a historic day in the

115
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 1>cryptocurrency industry and the mortgage industry whereby Fanny May and

116
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Freddie Mac are now positioned to involve cryptocurrencies in mortgages.

117
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, President Trump for making the United States the

118
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 1>crypto capital of the world. And as you all know,

119
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>game theory is going to play out here. If the

120
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 1>United States is doing it, you see other countries do this, guys.

121
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>So I think we're going to see a lot of

122
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>different financial products and incentives built around crypto. And look

123
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 1>all of Wall Streets here at Blackrock and the others, right,

124
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>so you know they're going to participate and offer different programs.

125
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And the banks too, right, the banks are looking to

126
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 1>launch stable coins, they're going to offer crypto trading, crypto custody.

127
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 1>And of course many of these banks they issue mortgages right,

128
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 1>issue loans for people to buy homes and so forth.

129
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>So you can imagine if the government is doing it,

130
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>they're going to do it too. You're Wells Fargo, You're

131
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>JP Morgan, Bank of America. I hope you see what's coming, folks.

132
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 1>This is so bullish. Now moving ahead, Robinhood's CEO, Vlad

133
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Tenev was on CNBC and he said crypto will replace

134
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>traditional finance. What a statement. And we know Robinhood has

135
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 1>been adopting crypto at a rapid pace, acquiring exchanges like bitstamp,

136
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 1>launching tokenized stocks that they're going all in. And they

137
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 1>recognize that if they don't do this, disruptions at their

138
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 1>door because this technology is here. To say, let me

139
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 1>play a clip of what he had to say on CNBC.

140
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.399
<v Speaker 2>I do think that crypto itself. There's two ways to

141
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>look at it. One is a tradable asset like options,

142
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:50.319
<v Speaker 2>futures and equities. The other is as a fundamental underlying technology. Right,

143
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 2>and in the second lens, it's the next stage in evolution.

144
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:59.639
<v Speaker 2>We've gone from paper and pencil filing cabinet based financial

145
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 2>service is to mainframe to on premise and then more

146
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>recently cloud. Now crypto is the next stage in that

147
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 2>where a lot of the business logic that we've required

148
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>businesses to actually build is now shared infrastructure, so exchanges,

149
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 2>lending pools, payment processors, all these things are replaced by software.

150
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 2>So I think in the future crypto technology will power

151
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 2>trading and all sorts of financial services, including trading and

152
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>stocks and other tradfi assets. So the two will fully merge.

153
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Incredible statements, right, And these folks are putting their money

154
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.279
<v Speaker 1>with their amount is they are building, and they're doing

155
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 1>the acquisitions and raising capital and creating new products and

156
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>so forth. So exciting times, folks. Quick word from our

157
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.200
<v Speaker 1>sponsor and that is v chain. Vachain is one of

158
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>the top layer one enterprise blockchains out there. I've been

159
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>a VET token holder for many years going back to

160
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen, m bullish on this project. Beachin is getting

161
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of adoption from different brands and companies around

162
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the world including Jivonchi, Walmart China, BMW, Boston Consulting Group PwC.

163
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>They are even partnered with Dana White in the UFC

164
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>doing some really cool things. And some of the key

165
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 1>attributes of the v chain blockchain includes its secure, affordable, scalable, fast,

166
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.159
<v Speaker 1>and sustainable. And many companies are using the v chain

167
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.559
<v Speaker 1>blockchain to build cool Web three technology and much more.

168
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, I'm a VET token holder, I'm

169
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.879
<v Speaker 1>bullish on this project. So if you'd like to learn

170
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 1>more about them, go to vchain dot org. Link will

171
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>be in the description. Now, folks, look at this news.

172
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Bit Deer raises three hundred and thirty million dollars via

173
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>convertible notes sale. So bitdeer is a bitcoin minor and

174
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.639
<v Speaker 1>once again they've completed a three hundred and thirty million

175
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 1>dollar private placement of convertible senior notes maturing in twenty

176
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty one. The notes have a conversion price of fifteen

177
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>dollars and eighty seven cents per share. Which is forty

178
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>four percent above bitdeer's current trading price. Bitdeer is using

179
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>part of its proceeds for a call option to settle conversions,

180
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 1>and for a data center expansion and ask development. So

181
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing bitcoin miners and many folks are going all in.

182
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I think they're all ramping up for the final phase

183
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>of this bull market, and I'm talking macro now this year.

184
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the blow off top happens this year and

185
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be higher prices and valuations. And the miners,

186
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>of course, you know, they mind bitcoin and they sell

187
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.519
<v Speaker 1>it and they pay for their costs and so forth,

188
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and they also get the fees from the network. So

189
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody's ramping up trying to get as much value out

190
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.879
<v Speaker 1>of this bull market. So you're just seeing a lot

191
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>of folks doing stuff. You know, I've been sharing the

192
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 1>news about Anthony pomp Leano and his spack and that's

193
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 1>going to be buying a billion dollars in bitcoin, which

194
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>is wild. And in fact, Anthony shared a chart showing

195
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the top public bitcoin treasury companies and of course micro strategies.

196
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.519
<v Speaker 1>First MARA, which is Marathon Holdings. They're a bitcoin minor.

197
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>You have x Xi. I'm not sure I've never heard

198
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.200
<v Speaker 1>of this company. Actually I may have missed it. And

199
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>following that is Right Platforms. They're also a bitcoin minor.

200
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy Digital comes in at the top five, and what's interesting,

201
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Tesla is at number seven on this list, so they're

202
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty high up. Meta Planet in Japan they've been doing

203
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and even coinbase is on here and Anthony

204
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Popleano's new pro Cap is on here as well at

205
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>number thirteen, so really really incredible stuff. Now you can

206
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>see there's sort of a bubble forming here, and I

207
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 1>know some people are gonna hate me for saying that,

208
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>but I gotta be realistic with you guys. Look, I've

209
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>studied markets and history, and when you see all these

210
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>people in the race to adopt it is not that

211
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that's wrong. I'm not saying this strategy is wrong. But

212
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have your laggards, and you're gonna have people

213
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 1>who are not gonna do this well, and it could

214
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 1>be a setup for the bubble to pop. Right, Let's

215
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>look at the real estate bubble that popped in two

216
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.639
<v Speaker 1>thousand and eights and the Great Recession. Not every bank

217
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you know failed and went out of business, majority, a

218
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of them have to get bailed out. But you know,

219
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you had your Lehman brothers and others that completely collapse,

220
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 1>so they weren't running the show very well. They had

221
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe more risky mortgages and toxic products and all that. Right,

222
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>something similar could happen here. I'm not saying I want

223
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:15.759
<v Speaker 1>that to happen, So don't get me wrong, I don't

224
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 1>want that to happen. But guys, markets move in cycles.

225
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>We've seen every bull market, even in the stock market,

226
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 1>real estate, whatever it is. At some point, if a

227
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.519
<v Speaker 1>bubble forms, it's going to pop. It happened in the

228
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>dot com boom as well. Right, This is just the

229
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 1>nature of market. So this is where you want to

230
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.399
<v Speaker 1>have a cash out plan, a profit taking plan so

231
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that you are not caught up in some massive bubble

232
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>pop and crash. It doesn't mean crypto will die, doesn't

233
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>mean the technology is going away. Is just the speculation

234
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>which in a world of capitalism, this happens. We human

235
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.639
<v Speaker 1>beings can't help ourselves, I feel like, right, so just

236
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.519
<v Speaker 1>watch out, guys. We gotta be careful here. There's a

237
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of companies racing to do this and buying a

238
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:03.159
<v Speaker 1>lot of bitcoin, raising a ton of capital. Hopefully they're

239
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 1>doing it the right way so when the price does

240
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>go down, they're not left by the roadside, you know

241
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. Now, tomorrow I will actually be publishing

242
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 1>my interview with the CEO and one of the board

243
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>of the executive chairman of the board of advisors for

244
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Vivo Power, and they are using XRP as their treasury strategy,

245
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>So you don't want to miss that one. Make sure

246
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 1>you subscribe. It's a really good conversation and we go

247
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>into the details of what they're doing with Flare, with

248
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>DeFi and much more, even using ripples, r l USD

249
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>stable coins, So make sure you check that out. And

250
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.840
<v Speaker 1>speaking of XRP, the CMA Group tweeted out that since

251
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>launching on May nineteenth, XRP and micro XRP futures have

252
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:49.759
<v Speaker 1>shown demand across institutional and retail participants, highlighting interest in

253
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.320
<v Speaker 1>regulated tools to access one of the most watch crypto assets.

254
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 1>So the demand is there for this token, and I

255
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>tweeted out, wait till you see the XRP spottyt You're

256
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.120
<v Speaker 1>going to see some really nice inflows once that gets

257
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.279
<v Speaker 1>approved by the SEC. And I believe that's going to

258
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>happen this year along with Solana, because those two have

259
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 1>the future's markets in place, and there's a lot of demand,

260
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of applications piling up, so waiting for the

261
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker 1>sec to do their thing. Now, final news item, Zama

262
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:23.159
<v Speaker 1>raises fifty seven million dollars, becomes the first unicorn involved

263
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>with fully homomorphic encryption. So a couple things here. First,

264
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>we continue to see capital being raised by startups and

265
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.559
<v Speaker 1>new companies which have fresh ideas and innovative ideas. So

266
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>if you're an entrepreneur, man, go pitch your idea and

267
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>raise that capital. Things are moving ahead and a lot

268
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.879
<v Speaker 1>of companies are even doing second round raises, third third

269
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 1>round raises and much more. So these are signs, of

270
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:53.559
<v Speaker 1>course of a bull market. So Zama, a cryptography company

271
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>pioneering fully homomorphic encryption for blockchains, said it raised fifty

272
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.240
<v Speaker 1>seven million dollars in a Series B round co led

273
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>by block Change Ventures and Pantera Capital. The team said

274
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 1>the fundraise pushes Zama's total capital raised to over one

275
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.639
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty million dollars and values it over one

276
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars, making the firm the first unicorn involved with

277
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Fhe so this is why I know I'm repeating myself here.

278
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:25.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm preparing for the next bull market. A lot of

279
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 1>these projects now getting the cap or they're going to

280
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.039
<v Speaker 1>be building in the bear market, right and then their

281
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:34.159
<v Speaker 1>new token or whatever they have going on, it's going

282
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to be ready by the next bullmarket. We've seen this

283
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>time and time again. So there's going to be further

284
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.720
<v Speaker 1>iterations of these blockchains and new products and new ideas,

285
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>so really really cool stuff. So the Zamba protocol allows

286
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.399
<v Speaker 1>developers to build encrypted decentralized applications also known as DAPs

287
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 1>without needing deep cryptographic expertise. Use cases can range from

288
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.840
<v Speaker 1>confidential stable coin issuance and acid tooken is to private

289
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>identity verification and governance in network states. According to a

290
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>document shared with Coinness, so as I said, guys, innovation continues.

291
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Capital is being raised, and the folks who are giving

292
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.919
<v Speaker 1>these people the money, they're not making the investment to

293
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>lose the money, right, they are looking to make a return.

294
00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's why you have all these vcs and hedge

295
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:27.080
