Please let that subscribe button as 4 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.600 well as the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. 5 00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.559 If you're listening on a podcast platform such as Spotify 6 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.199 or Apple, please leave a five star rating and be 7 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.320 sure to follow well, folks. The market volatility continues. Earlier today, 8 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.480 Donald Trump tweeted some positive news about the Iran war 9 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.159 and the market started pumping. So you saw bitcoin jump 10 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.719 back up even though it had dumped over the past 11 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.399 couple of days. And yesterday's podcast I talked about, look, 12 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.880 we could see an invalidation of this relief rally, but 13 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.799 now all of a sudden, it's back on the table. 14 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.079 So this is the signs of the times that we 15 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.320 live in, where you know, a tweet, a social post 16 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.960 can trigger the markets. It's really crazy. But this is 17 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.719 why you got to have the long term macro view, 18 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.600 because you know the day to data, hourly and so forth. 19 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:01.679 It is pretty crazy and it can drive you nuts 20 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.519 if you focus on it too much. Now you may say, well, Tony, 21 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.239 you're talking about it. Well, yeah, just to give you 22 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.239 an idea of where we're at in the market. I'm 23 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.680 not day trading, so I'm not losing sleep over this stuff. Obviously, 24 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.040 we would like to see the relief rally continue for 25 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.799 bitcoin and also followed, but like I said, we started 26 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.400 seeing movement in both the crypto and stock market. Nothing 27 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.000 to call home about now. One thing I did highlighting 28 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.560 yesterday's podcast is that the S and P five hundred 29 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.840 the stock market essentially hit the over soul zone, so 30 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:32.959 you can see it's starting to bounce here. So I 31 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.680 believe a relief rally is coming for the S and 32 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.079 P five hundred, same thing for maybe the NASDAC or 33 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.200 so we're gonna have to watch as closely as well 34 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.159 as the Dow Jones. Actually, the Dow Jones Industrial is 35 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.200 overextended on the over sold on the daily chart, so 36 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.200 again expect to bounce and crypto could follow. You know, 37 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.079 we're looking to see if bitcoin can make it to 38 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.239 eighty k. Eighty five k, That's pretty much what I'm 39 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.799 looking at. I'm not necessarily looking for any new time highs. 40 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.920 It looks like the probability of this going to ninety 41 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.199 k and above is getting less and less, but long term. 42 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.599 Later in the year, could we see bitcoin rally to 43 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.680 ninety k, even over one hundred k, sure, but again 44 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.080 we'll see how things play out. Is just a very 45 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.520 volatile time with everything that's going on. It's pretty pretty crazy, honestly, 46 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.039 and with the move that we saw for bitcoin, two 47 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.960 hundred and sixty five million dollars of crypto shorts were 48 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:32.680 liquidated this morning when President and Trump tweeted out his information, 49 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.759 and there are talks of insider trading happening that people 50 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.240 made certain bets on the S and P five hundred 51 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.479 as well as oil ahead of the announcement. Again, crazy 52 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.520 times that we live in, right, But the way to 53 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.199 beat all this is just have that long term view 54 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.400 if you're holding for multiple years, five ten years, and 55 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.560 these type of things. Obviously, I'm not saying that we're 56 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.120 not going to see gains or all time highs until 57 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.199 ten years later, but the fact is, if you have 58 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.759 a long term view on assets, you know all these 59 00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.000 things still matter. They're like tiny blips in the chart 60 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.319 when you zoom out, right, That's my point. But one 61 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.560 positive sign that we are seeing for bitcoin is that 62 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.719 bitcoin pricing gold is starting to rebound, so it looks 63 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.280 like it hit the bottom, and look it may roll 64 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.560 over and go teslows again. But bitcoin pricing gold is 65 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.400 starting to move, and we see gold itself is collapsing. 66 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.439 It certainly hit the top, so did silver, and we've 67 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.599 often talked about the rotational liquidity. So I think we're 68 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.280 going to start to see more strength in bitcoin in 69 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.280 the crypto acid class as well as the stock market, 70 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.560 as gold and precious metals cool down. But again, we 71 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.080 got to give it time. We are certainly in a 72 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:47.680 very very volatile extreme macro conditions with everything that's going on, 73 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.520 but we're still seeing institutions are accumulating. So Michael Sailor's 74 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.960 strategy added one thousand and thirty one bitcoin for seventy 75 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.240 seven million dollars as it's holding's top seven hundred and 76 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.719 sixty two thousand bigcoin, and so they continue to accumulate. 77 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.280 Even Tom Lee's bit Mind, which is an etherium digital 78 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.800 acid treasury company, they have extended their buying streak with 79 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.080 one hundred and thirty eight million dollars eath purchase. So 80 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.400 you know, this is a good sign. You know, I'm 81 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.399 a bit concerned about Sailor and everything that he's doing. 82 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.680 You know, there's a lot of leverage there, man, and look, 83 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.199 maybe Tom Lee's approaching that, but I think Sailor is 84 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.879 way ahead of everybody else. And my hope is nothing collapses. 85 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.040 You know, certainly people are going to be targeting strategy, 86 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.600 and when you're in a bear market situation, you know 87 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.639 the short sellers they're going to get aggressive. So fingers crossed, 88 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.240 nothing bad happens here and they all get through it, 89 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.800 and we are back in a bull market cycle, even 90 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.040 if it's not like a move to new all time highs, 91 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.560 just simply a rally to like I said in ninety 92 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.680 k or even one hundred thousand dollars for bitcoin and 93 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.720 an all to move. It puts us in a better place. 94 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.680 So we're going to have to wait and see. But 95 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.279 the buying is happening across the globe. So look at this. 96 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.959 Sweden's H one hundred I is Europe's number two bitcoin 97 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:07.480 treasury with a three thousand, five hundred bitcoin deal. So 98 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.600 H one hundred signed a letter of intent to acquire 99 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.560 two bitcoin treasury companies and their BTC holdings, which could 100 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.120 make it the second largest bitcoin treasury company in Europe. 101 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.480 So this is really great. You got a lot of 102 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.160 buying and demand globally from these big institutions, and they're 103 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.560 clearly you know, they're looking long term because right now 104 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.160 you're not gonna get the returns. It's gonna take a while. 105 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.519 Here's another example of Hong Kong's bu Yah and yes 106 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.199 that's the name, b o yaa interactive eyes seventy million 107 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.879 dollar crypto treasury expansion. So Bouya's Interactive International is the 108 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.199 twenty third largest bitcoin treasury and the third largest in 109 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:51.519 Asia behind Japan's Metaplanet and China's Next Technology Holding. So 110 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.839 this is really great. Just recently I highlighted a Singapore 111 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.759 based ride share company I believe they're called ride Ryde. 112 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.160 They're looking to do a crypto treasury strategy. So this 113 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.120 is really great, guys. This is this is what you 114 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.360 want to see, these institutions buying up the assets that 115 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.199 you hold, and you know they're not holding to lose money. 116 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.079 They want to make money here. So Hong Kong based 117 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.959 Web three gaming firm Bouja Interactive International set it's seeking 118 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.800 shareholder approval to expand its crypto treasury, planning up to 119 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.279 seventy million dollars and purchases over the next year, So 120 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:32.000 the seventy million dollars would add to Buja's two hundred 121 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.879 and eighty five million dollar treasury, which includes four thou 122 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.480 ninety one bitcoin worth two hundred and eighty million dollars 123 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.480 and three hundred and two ether worth six hundred and 124 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.480 twenty one thousand, two hundred dollars. So this is really great. 125 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.360 This is something you want to see at these bear 126 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.199 market bottoms, that there's demand and buying of these assets. 127 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.519 And of course the ETFs have also been buying up, 128 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.680 you know, based on demand from customers with Black Fidelity 129 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.199 in others they've been seeing inflows. Now today we got 130 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.800 a big update from Larry Fink, CEO Blackrock. So Blackrocks 131 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.600 CEO Larry Fink sees tokenization making investment with your phone 132 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:16.240 as easy as payments folks. Larry said just a few 133 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.160 years ago that tokenization is the future and finance, and 134 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.399 that kind of kicked off the tokenization race because you 135 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.319 saw all of Wall Street start to do this, and 136 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.560 Black Rocks started with Biddle their tokenized money market fund 137 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.879 and Etheroreum, and they've expanded it to other blockchains. So 138 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.959 they're going to put stocks, equities commodities of gold and 139 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.199 much more on chain, even real estate, it's all going 140 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.399 on chain. That's the future where you're going to have 141 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.399 truly global markets, more liquidity accessible from across the globe, 142 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.199 fractionalization and you can actually put those assets to work 143 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.160 in DeFi and much more. And plus the twenty four 144 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.839 to seven instant settlement aspect of the market's no more 145 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.959 opening closing bell. We've talked about this for years, right, 146 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.360 the token economy, So that is where we're headed to. 147 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:04.199 So Larry think in his investor letter, you know, he 148 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.360 talked about this and one of the big statements which 149 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.680 I think it's very important to hear this, he said 150 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:14.480 tokenization could transform finance like the Internet did in nineteen 151 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.639 ninety six. So I've often talked to on the on 152 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.959 the news recap episodes as well as to my guests 153 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.800 that I interviewed at in nineteen ninety six, Bill Clinton 154 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:28.439 and in his administration they signed the I believe, the 155 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.600 Telecommunications Bill, and that really give the Internet the guidance 156 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.120 and companies to be able to build on the Internet. 157 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.919 We're at that moment with the Claritiac, the genius and 158 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.720 the Claritiac, right, the Claritiact being the most important one. 159 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.679 So I think Larry's right. Once we get that Clariac 160 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.840 in place, it's going to kick off massive innovation and 161 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.080 building and more capital coming into the market and asset 162 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.000 class and these blockchain networks their value is going to 163 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.080 go up, and so will their native token. So we 164 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.879 are still very early relative to the adoption curve of 165 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.519 other technologies like internet, mobile phones, and much more. So 166 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:07.720 let me give you some details here. For the second 167 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.559 year in a row, Black Rocks CEO Larry Fink is 168 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.759 beating the drum on the tokenization of traditional investments. While 169 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.960 last year his comments highlighted the benefits of updating old 170 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:23.159 school plumbing with new completely digital system powered by blockchain technology, 171 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.840 this year Fink focus on access and scale. Here's a quote. 172 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.039 Half of the world's population carries a digital wallet on 173 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.759 their phone. Imagine if that same digital wallet could let 174 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.639 you invest in a broad mix of companies for the 175 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:40.480 long term as easily as sending a payment. Fink wrote 176 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:44.480 in his annual letter. Tokenization could help accelerate that future 177 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.200 by updating the plumbing of the financial system, making investments 178 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.720 easier to issue, easier to trade, and easier to access. 179 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.639 This is the end goal, folks, so please don't miss it. 180 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.720 The markets will have their ups and downs, the volatility, 181 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.679 but see, I hope you see where the is heading 182 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.279 right and the larger vision here. So this is where 183 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.919 you take your bets, have the patients, you know, if 184 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.799 you're looking to boost your retirement, you know, and all 185 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.360 these things build up your wealth. You definitely need to 186 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.639 have exposure to tokens. Now, you got to make sure 187 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:15.879 you do your research and you know, go into quality 188 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:19.399 projects versus bullshit like meme coins and things like that. 189 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.919 And look, there are some meme coins which I think 190 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.679 have done well and established themselves, like doge coin. But 191 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.559 you got to be careful that people try to get 192 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.519 those new coins that pop up and they have no 193 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.879 value and there's no utility. You don't even know who's 194 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.279 the team behind. That's where it gets dangerous. That's the casino, right. 195 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.480 But holding certain assets like eth like XRP, Solana and 196 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.399 so forth, and Bitcoin as well, those are great for 197 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.320 long term. There's others like h bar Onto, chain Link 198 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:49.759 and so forth. I don't want to make it seem 199 00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:51.799 like it's just the top five, right, but I hope 200 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.360 you get my point. You want to look for the 201 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.679 blockchains that are being used by institutions like black Rock, Fidelity, 202 00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.320 and the rest of the Wall Street. So again, Larry's 203 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.000 beating the drum here, the world's largest asset manager, very 204 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.000 connected to the government. I think you guys know the 205 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.279 history of black Rock go back to two thousand and 206 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:15.480 eight and much more. So Larry is telling you what's coming. 207 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.360 So guys, take your positions again, have the long term view. 208 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:23.200 I know many of us want to see a great returns. 209 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.440 We want to see parabolic bull runs, and I believe 210 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.080 that's coming. We just got to go through these cycles, right, 211 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:33.279 the ups and downs. So really big statements here from Larry, guys, 212 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.639 and I'm excited for the future of this asset class 213 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:38.559 and all the things that are to come. Okay, folks, 214 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.759 this episode is brought to you by I Trust Capital, 215 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:44.759 which makes investing in crypto and precious metals easy. You 216 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.759 can do it via an iray. So I Trust offers 217 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:50.799 an IRA where you can invest in crypto assets up 218 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.879 to eighty plus crypto assets as well as gold and silver, 219 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:57.360 and of course by investing via an IRA, you get 220 00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.320 huge tax advantages. Right, that's the benefit here, So if 221 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.000 you have that long term view, put the assets in 222 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.159 here and let it grow. And many of you know, 223 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:09.799 when you sell, you know via you get incur capital gains, 224 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.360 so you can help mitigate some of that via the IRA, 225 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:15.559 And if you have an existing four oh one k 226 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:17.879 or IRA, you can roll it over to eye Trust 227 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.480 Capital so you can buy and sell crypto precious metals 228 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.120 twenty four to seven. It's low cost, no monthly fee. 229 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.360 They also offer a great custody solution, so they have 230 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.200 what's called a premium custody account. They use coin based prime, 231 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.919 which Black Rock uses, they use Fidelity fire Blocks, and 232 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.200 many others, so you're getting tier one level custodial services. 233 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.679 And it's a closed loop system where someone hacks into 234 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.639 your account, they can't withdraw anything, guys. So this is 235 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.879 a really, really great option. I think it's second to 236 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.799 self custody as far as safety is concerned because of 237 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:54.279 the level of service they're using. And with regards to 238 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.759 their gold and silver, it is not paper gold and silver, 239 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.360 so if you want to redeem the actual metal, you 240 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.320 can do that with I Trust. Not many companies offer that, 241 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.679 so this is very unique, guys. So I trust Capital. 242 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:08.600 It's a great platform. I have an account with them 243 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.240 and if you use my link folks to sign up, 244 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.679 you can get one hundred dollars funding bonus. So go 245 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:17.879 check out I trust Capital. They're offering some really great services. Okay, 246 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.080 check this news out. Biotech stock Nova Bay jumps nineteen 247 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.759 percent amid pivot rebrand to stable Coin Development Corporation, So 248 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.360 this is an interesting one. Nova Bay's strategy centers on 249 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:35.639 staking rewards, tying return to skies, governance parameters, and participation 250 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.639 levels rather than just token price moves. The January financing 251 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:44.120 brought in crypto native backers like Framework Ventures and Tether Investments, 252 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:49.120 signaling institutional interest in stable coin linked infrastructure plays. So 253 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.440 it's very interesting to see how these traditional companies are 254 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.960 getting involved in crypto in different ways, whether they're becoming 255 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.600 a digital asset treasury company or they're doing something like 256 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:02.279 this with stable coins or tokenization. Very very fascinating with 257 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.639 all great signs and the fact that they're getting the 258 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:10.080 stock price boom or boost. That's very good and game 259 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.240 theory will play out other players will look to do 260 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:16.000 the same. So very very interesting move here. And I 261 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:19.279 don't know anything about sky tokens. I actually never heard 262 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.159 of that. But you're just seeing all types of new 263 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.879 moves by these companies. But you know, these are things 264 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.320 you want to look at as well. So for example, 265 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.000 I'm reporting the news there. You may want to go 266 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.480 do your research on the Sky protocol. That's something I 267 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.600 have on my to do list to learn more about. 268 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.399 Why did they pick the sky protocol, why they're buying 269 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.679 the token? You know what's behind here, And while it's 270 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.759 not the only reason you should invest, it's a strong reason. 271 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.279 Right If you know they're buying this amount of tokens 272 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.200 in the bear market, there's going to be upside. You 273 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.799 know how the market markers and the hedge funds work, right, 274 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:57.519 there's something to be said there. Right, I'm not going 275 00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.919 to go further, but I think many of you understand 276 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.200 how vcs and these guys operate in the crypto market. Obviously, 277 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.799 there's more things you should check on. You know, who's 278 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.200 behind the project? Is it a real legit project? Are 279 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.360 people actually building on things like that? You want to 280 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.720 make sure you do your due diligence. But the fact 281 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.320 that you know there's big investments coming from a corporation here, 282 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.799 that's very good. Now, this is some weird news. Senator 283 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:26.600 Elizabeth Warren requests details from mister Beast, the YouTuber about 284 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.799 its future plans for teens and crypto. So. I don't 285 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.240 know why she's focusing on this, but Beast In Industries 286 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:40.000 had acquired a company called step most recently in February, 287 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.360 and they have plans to do some crypto things. But 288 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.679 they haven't even built or launched anything yet. There hasn't 289 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.000 been anything in production. But she is sending a letter 290 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.399 and looking to see if they're going to be in 291 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:57.120 compliance with the law. What this is just Elizabeth Warren 292 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:01.840 trying to find things to pick on crypto, right, continuing 293 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:06.639 hermot again. She's being lobbied by the banks. That's why 294 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.360 her and Gainster were attacking crypto. It wasn't because they 295 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:11.840 all of a sudden woke up with it. Oh I 296 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.240 hate crypto, right, She's a grandma, like you think she 297 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.919 woke up one day. I was like, I don't like 298 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.080 going on. Let me start this whole campaign. Let me 299 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.399 get Gary Ginster to attack the industry on lawn. They 300 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:24.559 were lobbied heavily by the likes of Jamie Diamond and 301 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.000 JP Morgan and the rest of his banks their buddies. 302 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.720 So this is a weird one. And you know, you 303 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.159 can imagine that the banks put her up to this, 304 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.679 right because mister Beest has more than four hundred and 305 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.840 seventy million subscribers he has his demographic is very young, 306 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.720 so they're probably like, oh man, we're gonna continue his 307 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.320 market share. Elizabeth, you know, do what you got to 308 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.120 do here here, and then they signed her a check 309 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.759 in the mail. Right, you guys know how it works, 310 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.080 and it's probably trying to roll block it, kind of 311 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.960 like what they did with Facebook's stable coin. Right, it 312 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.200 has the same type of thing here where we're there. 313 00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:02.399 Oh my god, people, this guy has a huge following, 314 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.279 a huge customer base. What if he takes millions of 315 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:07.839 our customers, right, they're going to go use this platform. 316 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.759 So that's what's happening here. Again, they haven't put out anything. 317 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.640 And don't get me wrong, I believe the regulators should 318 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.240 do their due diligence. The regulators now and check and 319 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.960 make sure everything's copathetic. But the fact that Elizabeth Warren, 320 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.519 who should be focusing on other bigger issues, there's bigger 321 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.960 fish to fry with the economy and everything that's going 322 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.680 on is all of a sudden sending a letter to 323 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.200 mister beasts, get the hell out of here. We know 324 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:38.240 what's behind this, guys, come on right, all right? Moving ahead, 325 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:43.119 Moonpay releases open source crosschain wallet standard for AI agents. 326 00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:47.000 So we're seeing many companies are building crypto wallets for 327 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:51.039 AI agents. This is going to be a big economy. Eventually, 328 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.200 many of you watching and listening, you will have your 329 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.440 own AI agent doing things for you, and not just one, 330 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.799 maybe multiple, right, just depending on what you want it 331 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:01.680 to do do. Some people are going to have it 332 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.680 go out and do work for them, and they can 333 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.079 earn that way, right if they know how to position 334 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.400 the AI agents in certain markets and industries, and of 335 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.119 course have that AI agent do something that has value. 336 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.640 So it's amazing what's being built. So moonpay has introduced 337 00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:23.319 the open wallet standard and open source framework that lets 338 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.079 AI agents hold assets, sign transactions, and make payments to 339 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.640 release bills. On the company's earlier rollout of moonpay, agents 340 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.640 a non custodial software layer that lets AI systems interact 341 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.440 with wallets and execute transactions. So AI agents are not 342 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.400 going to use cash obviously, they're not going to go 343 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.039 use the traditional banking rails. They're going to use stable 344 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:48.079 coins and other crypto assets, So that's what's coming. You know. 345 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.839 I'm personally exploring how I can build AI agents to 346 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.160 do certain things that will be a benefit to many 347 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.359 of you who are my listeners and viewers, and obviously 348 00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:59.640 thank you so much for your support. So as I know, 349 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.319 test the waters and figure out what works, I'll definitely 350 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.920 let you guys know, And you know, I certainly want 351 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:07.480 to look at how we can bring value to all 352 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:09.200 of you, not just create one for the sake of 353 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.680 creating one, but what is it doing. What does it 354 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.319 help you to do or accomplish? You know, what pain 355 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:16.680 points can it help you solve and all that. So 356 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.279 this is really great and we've seen coinbase CEO Brian 357 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.200 armshrow and talk a lot about this. He's actually been 358 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:24.759 tweeting about it, and I think, yeah, he's spot on 359 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.680 and that this could be, by the way, guys, a 360 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.680 huge narrative in the next bullmarket and with the rise 361 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.559 of AI from the macro perspective and the economy and 362 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.240 much more, it's gonna be I think, a strong narrative. 363 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.599 Don't get me wrong, there's utility, but just a strong 364 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:44.039 narrative that's gonna possibly bring in more people in the 365 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.079 crypto like, oh, we get it ai agents and even 366 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:50.680 humanoid robots. They're going to use blockchain and crypto and 367 00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.720 things like that, and that could be, you know, one 368 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:56.240 of those. Every bull market has its narrative right or 369 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.920 multiple narratives, so this could be a huge one. Okay, 370 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.400 look at this solon of Foundation targets institutions with new 371 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.839 privacy framework. So many of you know institutions they care 372 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:10.200 about security and privacy. They can't put everything on the blockchain, 373 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:13.880 especially if it's proprietary data or customer data. They need 374 00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.119 to have privacy built in. So we're seeing a lot 375 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:21.839 of blockchains are trying to have their privacy offering fully 376 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:24.640 buttoned up here and offering it to the institutions. Because 377 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:26.079 you can't just go and say, hey, we have a 378 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:28.079 public chain bill on. You've got to be able to 379 00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:31.680 offer some privacy right to protect data. So the Solana 380 00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:36.799 Foundation publish a report arguing that enterprise adoption requires flexible 381 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:43.079 privacy controls, outlining four models from pseudonymity to fully private systems. 382 00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:47.319 The foundation said Solana's speed enables advanced privacy tech like 383 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:52.160 zero knowledge proofs while still supporting regulatory compliance. Now again, 384 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.200 everybody's trying to get this right and we'll see who 385 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.319 the winners are. I'm not saying Solana is not going 386 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:01.400 to be I'm just saying it's still very early and 387 00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:04.400 everybody's building out their you know, their offering. So they 388 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:08.640 released a report titled Privacy on Salona, a full Spectrum 389 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.200 Approach for Modern Enterprise. So this is really great and 390 00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.359 again you're going to see a lot of competition. Everybody's 391 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:19.960 going to try to build their privacy uh layer and solutions. 392 00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:23.119 So this is really great news. Okay, moving ahead, Glider 393 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.920 Onto launch platform for custom tokenized stock portfolios. So I 394 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.160 am an Onto token holder bullish on this project. They're 395 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:35.240 doing everything related to tokenization. That's their swim lane that 396 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:38.119 they've chosen. So let me give you the details. Glider 397 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.720 and Onto Finance have introduced a platform to let retail 398 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:46.759 investors build and automate custom portfolios of tokenized US stocks, 399 00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:51.559 offering direct exposure to equities without a brokerage account. That's huge. 400 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:55.200 I believe it was Sandy Call of Franklin Templeton who said, 401 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:58.200
