00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>The Nasdaq Stock Exchange has filed with the SEC to

2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>list bitcoin index options and they have a plan to

3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 1>boost crypto adoption. And Bitwise Asset Management makes another huge

4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>acquisition which is going to further expand their crypto services,

5
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>as Russia is getting ready to use crypto for international

6
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 1>payments next week and a Solana restaking protocol gets eighty

7
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>million dollars in funding. We're going to break this down

8
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>in much more. Let's get into it. Hey, everybody, welcome

00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.560

15
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 1>news from one of the major players on Wall Street.

16
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>So here's the headline. Nasdaq seeks SEC approval for a

17
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin index options, aims to boost crypto market maturity. That's

18
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>a big statement. They aim to boost crypto market maturity.

19
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And we're seeing all of Wall Street, all the big

20
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 1>banks are getting involved. They're launching financial products they're tokenizing,

21
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 1>so it's no surprise that Nasdaq is doing this. Let

22
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 1>me give it to details. Nasdaq, in collaboration with CF Benchmarks,

23
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>has followed with the SEC to list and trade the

24
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Nasdaq Bitcoin Index Options x BTX. If approved, this new

25
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>product will offer investors a sophisticated tool to manage and

26
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>hedge their Bitcoin investments through options, which the NASDAC said

27
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>will further the maturity and liquidity of the acid class. Wow, folks,

28
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 1>I am so bullish and so excited. I know the

29
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 1>prices right now don't reflect that, and I know Bitcoin

30
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>has pulled back. It's currently like fifty nine thousand or

31
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever it may be. And I told you guys before

32
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the major run up that's going to come into latter

33
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>half of September, Bitcoin may retest the lows again, which

34
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I think it's doing. That's fine, we are still in track.

35
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 1>But the big players like the NASDAC don't care about

36
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 1>these small, volatile moves. They're looking at the macro and

37
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>that is we are going to higher highs. We are

38
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>seeing higher highs and higher lows and we have not

39
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>entered the parabolic phase of this bull market yet. And

40
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>all of Wall treat is here. As mentioned, we've got

41
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>ETF's tokenization and much more, and new financial products are

42
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 1>being built. If you don't understand what's happening here, then

43
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you are completely missing the mark. You're too caught up

44
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>in the micro of Oh no, the price just went

45
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>down today, okay, But what happens when you zoom at

46
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>on the chart The price is up right, and you

47
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>have to understand what's being built, the infrastructure that's being

48
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>set up and so forth. But this is very big news.

49
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Here's some more big news. Bit Wise Bitcoin ETF to

50
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 1>acquire the assets from Osprey Bitcoin Trust. So Bitwise Asset

51
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Management has their own bitcoin etf e ETF and even

52
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>before these ETFs were launched, they had index ones and

53
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>much more around crypto. And I've had Matt Hogan, the

54
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>chief investment officer at Bitwise, on the pod many times.

55
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>So let me give to details here. Ostpury Bitcoin Trust

56
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>OBTC sponsor Osprey Funds, has entered an agreement with the

57
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and Bitwise Asset Management in which a BitB,

58
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 1>which is the ticker symbol of Bitwise's Bitcoin ETF, will

59
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>acquire all of the OBTC Funds assets The move comes

60
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>after Ospray noted that it was considering a potential sale

61
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>or merger with a bitcoin etf amid other strategic maneuvers

62
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>in March of this year. Osprey had until September one,

63
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four, to complete the sale or merger, or

64
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 1>else it would have liquidated OBTC. Here's a quote. As

65
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 1>part of the transition, OBTC unit holders will receive shares

66
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>of BitB as part of a liquidating distribution of OBTC.

67
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 1>For example, BitB holders there will be no change to

68
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>their shares or any changes to the operation of BitB.

69
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Osprey Funds wrote in a Tuesday release. Bitb's acquisition of

70
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>OBTC follows bit one is acquisition of London based crypto

71
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 1>exchange Traded Products issuer etc Group on August nineteenth. Big

72
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 1>moves by the folks at bitwise. I will have Matt

73
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Hogan of Bitwise Asset Management back on the pod very

74
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 1>soon to talk about this. These are smart moves they're

75
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>making increasing their market share, and not only in the

76
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>United States but globally as well. So big move here now, guys.

77
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 1>As we've had a lot of volatility in the market

78
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 1>has pulled back. We've got data here from crypto quon

79
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>that ethereum whales have accumulated more than two hundred thousand

80
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>eighth over the last four days. That's approximately five hundred

81
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 1>and sixteen million dollars, So whales are buying up. We

82
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>see the ETF inflows have increased despite the volatility, and

83
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>I think everybody sees what's on the horizon. Fed Ray

84
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>cuts money printing, Global equidities on the rise, so we're

85
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 1>entering the easy money cycle, and we're going to see

86
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>as rates start getting cut, a lot of the money

87
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>that's stuck in money market accounts and that are earning

88
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 1>high trists are going to move their cash and money

89
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>out of there because you're not getting the same level

90
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 1>of return. You want to go risk on and put

91
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 1>it into risk assets and make your return. So there's

92
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be a lot of liquidity coming into these

93
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>asset class folks, and not just crypto, but of course

94
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the stock market. We are still in a macro bull

95
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>market for real estate, crypto, and stock. So I'm very

96
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>bullish despite what's happening in the micro here. Now we

97
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>got new somem Donald Trump today he released his new

98
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 1>official Trump Trading cards on bitcoin ordinals, and this is

99
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 1>not the first go around he's been doing this. Now,

100
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 1>I could care less about this stuff. If you're a

101
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Trump fan and you like it, go for it. What

102
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I care about is the adoption that a presidential candidate,

103
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.759
<v Speaker 1>former president is taking a technology and building with it. Right,

104
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 1>he's using it for NFTs. He's going to be launching

105
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a new DeFi project. I guess pretty soon. We saw

106
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 1>some information from him and his sons, and I'm actually

107
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 1>very optimistic about that. But I could care less about

108
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.079
<v Speaker 1>these Trump cards. The other factor that about today is

109
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>will SEC chair Gary Ginster go after Donald Trump about

110
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>these right saying, oh, these NFTs are securities offerings. Remember

111
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what they think. I don't think NFTs are security

112
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>is offerings. It's like comic books or baseball cards and

113
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>so forth. But Gary's a scumback, so you know, you

114
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.600
<v Speaker 1>never know. And we've seen the SEC go after NFT

115
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 1>projects like Stonercats and others. So let's see. I don't

116
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.399
<v Speaker 1>think this is a fight Gary wants to pick. But

117
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.519
<v Speaker 1>then Gary may want to get some revenge for Donald

118
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Trump saying he would fire him up on the first

119
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>day at the Bigcoin conference. So we'll have to wait

120
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 1>and see. Now, we got news that Russia is going

121
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 1>to start using crypto for international transactions next week. This

122
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>is big, folks, And this has nothing to do with

123
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you love or hate Russia, that's not

124
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 1>the point. The point is of his adoption, the change

125
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 1>of the guard. Here the new technology getting penetration in

126
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.879
<v Speaker 1>all parts of society and life, and it's here to stay.

127
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not going away to genies. Out the bottle and

128
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>there's no putting it back in. So I'm gonna wait

129
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>for final confirmation for this to go live next week

130
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and we can see if possible, you know, some of

131
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the wallet addresses and transactions and so forth. But this

132
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>is pretty big news. We got news that Solana restaking

133
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.879
<v Speaker 1>protocol Solayer reaches eighty million dollar valuation with twelve million

134
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>dollar seed funding round. So of course with Solana you

135
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 1>can stake your tokens. That's really great. You can earn

136
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>passive income. I'm not too sure about the whole restaking idea,

137
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, there there have been people are saying this

138
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of risky. I need to research it

139
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 1>a bit more. I'm not fully educated on this, but

140
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.439
<v Speaker 1>once I have more details I'll definitely share with you, guys.

141
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>But earlier this month, Binance Labs that it had invested

142
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 1>in Solayer, and the co founder, Racial Shoe says that

143
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 1>the firm's investment is part of the same twelve million

144
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 1>dollars seed round. Last month, Solayer also announced a pre

145
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>seed funding round of undisclosed size from angel investors, including

146
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Solona co founder and A Tolly and Polygon co founder

147
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>send Deep nay Wall. So interesting and like I said,

148
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know too much about restaking herd. There's some risks,

149
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>but I could be wrong and I'm going to try

150
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to research this a bit more, all right. Speaking of Solana,

151
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.959
<v Speaker 1>the folks at robin Hood, specifically Johann Kerberrat, who's the

152
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>crypto general manager at Robinhood, tweeted out super excited to

153
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>announce that the Solana network is now live on the

154
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 1>robin hood wallet. Starting today, you can self custody Salona

155
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 1>tokens and send and receive over the Solona blockchain. Now.

156
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 1>I'll be interviewing Johan pretty soon, guys. I'm really looking

157
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 1>forward to this interview because it's Robinhood, right, and they've

158
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of customers. They've got a lot of

159
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>capital and resources to build incredible things, and they're going

160
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>all in on crypto and of course they are because

161
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.960
<v Speaker 1>it's the new asset class and everybody wants to share.

162
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>So this is pretty big and Solana continues to get adoption. Now,

163
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:59.320
<v Speaker 1>we got some news here that tokenization pioneer Centerviews unveils

164
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 1>leading market with morpho coin Base. The institutional real world

165
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.919
<v Speaker 1>asset lending market combines coin bases, Layer two network based

166
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and morpho volts using three varieties of tokenized treasury bills. So, folks,

167
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 1>what we're seeing is tokenization on the rise, the adoption

168
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>of tokenization, and we're seeing different blockchains being used. Ethereum

169
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 1>here you got coinbases Base, which is the layer two

170
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>on Etheroreum. Stellar Lumens is getting adoption as well, so

171
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 1>really big. So the market will allow for the collateralization

172
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of the borrowing against Centrivisi's an amoy fund, tokenized t

173
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>bills from mids and hashnoes us yeald coin. It's the

174
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 1>first time a permissioned lending market will use Ethereum powered

175
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.039
<v Speaker 1>coin based verifications. The aim is to provide instant liquidity

176
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 1>without having to actually redeem the underlying t bill. Folks,

177
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I often make this statement, but it's just to make

178
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 1>sure this lends. Do you see what's happening? This is

179
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the future, as I've been talking to you guys for years,

180
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>the token economy, everything running on the blockchains, even the

181
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>tradifi assets like stocks, bonds and so forth, will be

182
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.320
<v Speaker 1>tokenized on the blockchain and game theories playing out here.

183
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>There's a race. Clearly, black Rock wants to rule the

184
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.639
<v Speaker 1>market in all aspects ETFs tokenization and their tokenized fund

185
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>hit over five hundred million dollars recently, so big things coming.

186
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:29.759
<v Speaker 1>And speaking of black Rock, ave Labs proposes integrating GHO

187
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Stability module with black Rocks Biddle. Ave Labs has introduced

188
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>a temperature check proposal to update the GHO stability module

189
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to manage its stable coin system more efficiently by integrating BIDDLE,

190
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:47.399
<v Speaker 1>the tokenized fund from black Rock that represents traditional assets

191
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>like cash and US Treasury bills. This contract enables the

192
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:56.519
<v Speaker 1>conversion of two tokens at a predetermined ratio. Ave Labs

193
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.159
<v Speaker 1>proposes to build a new instance of GSM that supports

194
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>external integrations and related control mechanisms, specifically supporting Blackrocks Biddle

195
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.639
<v Speaker 1>the team wrote on the proposal, gsm exists to secure

196
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Ave's native stable coin gahos one to one convertibility with

197
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>another asset. Ave explain, So, folks, with what BlackRock's doing,

198
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 1>You're seeing these other ecosystems looking to integrate with Blackrock,

199
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and of course, right it's Blackrock, and they got a

200
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of resource, a lot of capital, so this is

201
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty smart of them to do this, and it's a

202
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>sign of what's to come. Now, speaking of Blackrock, guys,

203
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm introducing a new type of content to the podcast

204
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and it will be specifically on YouTube and x It's

205
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>video content. It's micro documentary, so it will feature specific

206
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 1>topics and it will be in documentary format. And the

207
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>first will be from Skeptic to believer black Rocks Larry

208
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Fink embrace a Bitcoin and crypto. So how Larry Fink

209
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.519
<v Speaker 1>essentially went from skeptic to becoming a bowl and now

210
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 1>a major promoter of crypto. So I will be sharing

211
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that pretty soon, guys. I'm waiting for people to get

212
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 1>back from the holidays, summer to be over, so it

213
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>just should come very soon, maybe next week, and you

214
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.159
<v Speaker 1>don't want to miss these. I'll be doing them once

215
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.759
<v Speaker 1>per month, and you guys can suggest topics and so forth.

216
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>But I put a lot of work into this, so

217
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 1>I think you guys will like it and it will

218
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 1>help spread the message of crypto and what's happening, guys,

219
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>especially when you have big players like this, you know,

220
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.399
<v Speaker 1>getting involved. So bullish times are ahead by the dips

221
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.200
<v Speaker 1>where possible, not financial advice, of course, that's what I'm doing.

222
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm dollar cross averaging by the dips. So in full transparency,

223
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>no bs, I bought some bitcoin, I bought some salon

224
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>and eth in this dip. I felt like I wanted

225
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 1>to top off my propolio bit on those top three

226
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 1>just because you know they have a lot of visibility,

227
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>liquidity and so forth. Don't get me wrong, I hold

228
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>other coins like XRP, I hold avax, Cardanu and so forth,

229
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 1>at algorand v chain as well. I am very bullish

230
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'm practicing what I'm preaching, and I'm expecting fireworks

231
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:08.440
<v Speaker 1>come this latter half of September into Q four and

232
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.080
<v Speaker 1>we will start to see the market scrip guys, So

233
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.799
