Speaker 1: A tradified giant that defeated Gary Ginster in the past.
Speaker 1: At the CFDC is back criticizing Gangster and the SEC
Speaker 1: and how they're handling crypto. I'll share the details with you.
Speaker 1: And bitcoin minors are entering the election spending money supporting
Speaker 1: pro crypto candidates and Vitallic Booterin and Michael Saylor are
Speaker 1: beefing over crypto self custody. Let's get into it. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: welcome into the Thinking Crypto podcast, your home for cryptocurrency
Speaker 1: news and interviews. I'm your host, Tony Edward. On your
Speaker 1: way in. Please sitt that subscribe button as well as
Speaker 1: the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. If
Speaker 1: you're listening on a podcast platform such as Spotify or Apple,
Speaker 1: please leave a five star rating and review. Okay, folks,
Speaker 1: let's start by taking a look at the DXY and bitcoin.
Speaker 1: Because the DXY, even though it's overbought by the textbook
Speaker 1: the RSSI, it is still pumping. So we're waiting for
Speaker 1: that breakdown. Guys, but we know that by the textbook,
Speaker 1: once again, this is not sustainable. It is incredibly overbought
Speaker 1: here and it's going to top out very soon. But
Speaker 1: in the meantime, it means Bitcoin's not going to do
Speaker 1: much and Bitcoin's going to do the opposite. So right
Speaker 1: now Bitcoin is showing some red candles on the daily chart,
Speaker 1: trading above sixty six thousand dollars, So we have to wait.
Speaker 1: But guys, this is where patience is needed. Right We
Speaker 1: want Bitcoin to break out and start moving up, but
Speaker 1: unfortunately the factors that are conducive to that are not
Speaker 1: there one hundred percent as yet, so we got to
Speaker 1: wait for this DXY to break down. But you just
Speaker 1: look historically once again that RSI it will start to
Speaker 1: break down soon enough, and maybe that's within another week
Speaker 1: or so, and maybe this ties in with the election
Speaker 1: uncertainty being removed. Where the elections complete, we know who
Speaker 1: the president is and then markets will start to rip
Speaker 1: based on how they performed historically. But guys, it's I
Speaker 1: know it's painful, I know it's boring, but this is
Speaker 1: what we are dealing with and this is part of investing.
Speaker 1: So we're not using our feelings and our emotions, but
Speaker 1: we're looking at the data and the data is telling
Speaker 1: us right now the DXY is not going down without
Speaker 1: a fight, so be patient. Now here's some interesting news,
Speaker 1: Tesla reveals none of there. Over seven hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: three million dollars in bitcoin was sold in Q three,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Now, what's fascinating. Just about a week
Speaker 1: and a half ago, Tesla started moving around their bitcoin.
Speaker 1: People were tracking this with on train metrics and they
Speaker 1: moved the bitcoin to new wallets. So people were speculating
Speaker 1: that maybe Elon's going to do something with cancer Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: with bitcoin yield, but it's TBD. But it's good to
Speaker 1: see that they haven't sold any more bitcoin now. They
Speaker 1: have in the past, and I explain that to you guys.
Speaker 1: When liquidity was tight and rates were on the way up,
Speaker 1: Tesla sold some of that bitcoin they had in the
Speaker 1: past to get liquidity, which I understand from a business standpoint,
Speaker 1: but good to see that they're still holding a large amount.
Speaker 1: Now here's some very interesting news and it revolves around
Speaker 1: scumbag regulator Gary Genser. So Trading giant Don Wilson thinks
Speaker 1: the SEC chair Gary Ginster's refusal to set crypto rules
Speaker 1: is purposeful. You're seeing the writing on the wall here.
Speaker 1: Everybody's recognizing what's happening, and it's what we've been talking
Speaker 1: about on this podcast for years now, since the Ripple lawsuit,
Speaker 1: that Genser is just doing the bidding of the tradify
Speaker 1: incumbans who are getting disrupted by blockchain and tokens and crypto,
Speaker 1: and his goal is not to protect crypto investors, but
Speaker 1: rather kill these crypto startups, not kill crypto and blockchain now,
Speaker 1: because as I've stated before, two things are happening in parallel.
Speaker 1: While the crypto industry and startups are getting walls, notices, lawsuits,
Speaker 1: and much more, black Rock and all the wall streets
Speaker 1: here tokenizing, launching ETFs around the acid class and doing
Speaker 1: much more. So how can these two things be happening
Speaker 1: side by side. It's because Genser has been weaponized against
Speaker 1: the startups. How dare coinbas come and make more revenue
Speaker 1: than Goldman, Sachs and some of these other companies, right?
Speaker 1: That is essentially what's happening. So here's a quote from Don.
Speaker 1: He says it reminds me of Atlas Shrugged. Wilson tells Coindesk,
Speaker 1: they get to selectively harass whoever they want. Now, Don
Speaker 1: defeated the SEC and let me give you the details
Speaker 1: around that. So Don Wilson is feeling deja vu. This month,
Speaker 1: the US SEC sued Cumberland DRW, a division of DRW,
Speaker 1: the Chicago based trading giant Wilson founded and runs. The markets.
Speaker 1: Regulator accused the company of trading at least two billion
Speaker 1: dollars of cryptocurrencies, including Solona and Polygons Mattic without first
Speaker 1: getting permission. The case hinges on the SEC deeming those
Speaker 1: assets as securities, a designation that imposes all sorts of
Speaker 1: requirements on traders like DRW. It's not drw's first tangle
Speaker 1: with the regulator. In fact, it's not even drw's first
Speaker 1: tangle with Gary Ginster, the SEC chairman. Back in twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: when Ganser ran the USCFDC, the agency filed a lawsuit
Speaker 1: against DRW and Wilson himself, claiming that they manipulated the
Speaker 1: market for an obscure interest rate swamp. Wilson and his
Speaker 1: firm denied any wrongdoing they had, They argued, simply discovered
Speaker 1: a lucrative arbitrage opportunity their competitors overlooked. They fought the
Speaker 1: CFDC and won big time. The judge indicates District Judge
Speaker 1: Richard Sullivan of the Southern District of New York Now,
Speaker 1: a judge in the US Court of Appeals for the
Speaker 1: Second Circuit, emphatically sided with Wilson after a four day
Speaker 1: bench trial, slapping down the CFDC sooth. In a scathing
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen dismissal, he called the cfdc's arguments absurd. Wilson
Speaker 1: recalls that ruling fondly. So gains, There's always been a
Speaker 1: scumbag for the most part. For if you know your history.
Speaker 1: Even back in twenty thirteen, the US CFDC watchdog had
Speaker 1: faulted Gary Genser for his recusal from the mf Global probe.
Speaker 1: Go read up on that, so gains. There's a Wall
Speaker 1: Street rat running through these government agencies, and that's the
Speaker 1: problem with the revolving door. And now he's here doing
Speaker 1: scumbag activities in the crypto industry. He seems to be
Speaker 1: a chaos agent against anything that's new, and that's disrupting
Speaker 1: the status quo for the stratify incumbents. But we've been
Speaker 1: talking about this for years, guys, and look the elections
Speaker 1: right around the corner. We know Donald Trump would fire
Speaker 1: against her for sure. We are not sure about Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: even though her team has said they're not happy with Gainser,
Speaker 1: but I'm assuming they will kick him out because he's
Speaker 1: just bad for politics and has been really bad overall.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. But it's great that these
Speaker 1: people who defeated the SEC are coming out and calling
Speaker 1: out the SEC's unlawful and unfear attack against the crypto industry.
Speaker 1: And Mark Cuban is one as well. He defeated the
Speaker 1: SEC in the past and he's calling out against her
Speaker 1: in addition to a bunch of other people now. One
Speaker 1: way gainst her will also be disarmed in addition to
Speaker 1: being fired is that Senator Elizabeth Warren is the one
Speaker 1: who has empowered against her and put him into office.
Speaker 1: She's the one that sends him the questions and answers
Speaker 1: ahead of hearings and much more. And John Deeton is
Speaker 1: running against her. We're big fans of John Deaton, and
Speaker 1: if you're in a state of Massachusetts, vote for John.
Speaker 1: If you're outside the state, donate to John. And Ripple
Speaker 1: CEO Brad Garlandhouse came out public lyo on Twitter endorsing John,
Speaker 1: saying John Deaton has been a relentless advocate for the
Speaker 1: x RP Army and the entire crypto industry. Meanwhile, his opponent,
Speaker 1: Senator Warren, spreads misinformation and lies about crypto. I endorse
Speaker 1: John enthusiastically and wholeheartedly in his run for Senate. For
Speaker 1: those of you in a position to do so, I
Speaker 1: encourage you to donate to his campaign as I have.
Speaker 1: Whether it's ten dollars or one hundred dollars, it all count.
Speaker 1: And most importantly, vote for him if you're in Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: So this is great. And he said he predicts a
Speaker 1: reset after the US election, and he criticizes the Biden
Speaker 1: administration and their handling of all this. Now, one of
Speaker 1: the things we've been talking about for a while is
Speaker 1: crypto's spending in this election cycle, and those people who
Speaker 1: are anti crypto are getting destroyed in the polls and
Speaker 1: the elections, and the ads are running against them. Well,
Speaker 1: look at this. Bitcoin miners are entering the battle here.
Speaker 1: So bitcoin miners launch ad campaign in swing states to
Speaker 1: boost crypto friendly candidates. Bitcoin voter Pack is backed by
Speaker 1: three of the biggest bitcoin mining companies. So before it
Speaker 1: was coin based Ripple A sixteen Z and some other
Speaker 1: folks who are part of the fair Shake superpack, raising
Speaker 1: over two hundred million dollars. Now you've got bitcoin miners
Speaker 1: launching their own pack and going after the people who
Speaker 1: are anti crypto and supporting the people who are crypto friendly.
Speaker 1: So it's amazing what's happening. If you told me about
Speaker 1: this in twenty twenty three, I wouldn't have believed you.
Speaker 1: But I think the crypto industry finally woke up realizing
Speaker 1: they're dealing with a scumbag regulator and Elizabeth Warren who
Speaker 1: formed her anti crypto army, and the only way to
Speaker 1: fight back is to take the gloves off and punch
Speaker 1: back at the bully right, play nice, because we've seen
Speaker 1: they will take unlawful steps to try to shut down
Speaker 1: this industry and much more so that their trad five
Speaker 1: banking buddies can come in and take over. But the
Speaker 1: industry is not going to let that happen. And we
Speaker 1: are on the winning side of history against and Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Warren are two fools. We will be left on an
Speaker 1: island by themselves because we see a lot of the
Speaker 1: anti crypto army folks are dropping like flies in the election,
Speaker 1: and many of them are backing out of bills they
Speaker 1: were supporting and co sponsoring. With Elizabeth Warren Roger Marshall
Speaker 1: being one of them, and I forgot the other guy's name,
Speaker 1: but it was a recent item where he backed out
Speaker 1: of a bill too or took crypto out. So it's great,
Speaker 1: guys were winning. And be patient because this will all
Speaker 1: culminate to a more pro crypto friendly United States where
Speaker 1: clear legislation will be passed and that will unlock a
Speaker 1: lot more capital and adoption, which will boost the prices
Speaker 1: of the assets that you hold. And in addition to
Speaker 1: macro factors, right the money printing that's going to continue
Speaker 1: global liquidity and so forth. But you have these different
Speaker 1: factors which will all be very bullish for the crypto market. Now, guys,
Speaker 1: quick word from our sponsor, and that is Constellation Network.
Speaker 1: Many of you may recognize this blockchain project. Their native
Speaker 1: token is dagdag. Earlier this year I had interviewed Benjamin Diggles,
Speaker 1: who's the co founder of the Constellation Network. They are
Speaker 1: building a really cool project and you know they're working
Speaker 1: with the US Air Force in testing blockchain and using
Speaker 1: it in different ways. Well, folks, they have a great
Speaker 1: conference that is tomorrow. It's called the High Depth Conference
Speaker 1: and it is both in person and virtual, So if
Speaker 1: you are in the San Francisco, California era, you can
Speaker 1: attend in person, but for the majority of you who
Speaker 1: are probably watching and listening to this, you can stream
Speaker 1: this for free. So I wrote about it in my
Speaker 1: newsletter today and the event will feature speakers from Fortune
Speaker 1: five hundred companies, Constellations executive Team, policymakers, and politicians. And
Speaker 1: you can expect big air drops and exclusive announcement folks,

Speaker 1: the US government on quite a few projects. And I

Speaker 1: for an interview as well, so I'll try to get
Speaker 1: you guys as much information as possible. So check out
Speaker 1: the link in and description and I will definitely do
Speaker 1: some takeaways from it in tomorrow's podcasts as well. All right, guys,
Speaker 1: we've got some big news, and it's actually good news.
Speaker 1: I remember that Binance employee who's being held in Nigeria
Speaker 1: due to money laundering charges, Well he's finally free. Binance's
Speaker 1: Gumbar Yon is free to leave Nigeria for medical treatment
Speaker 1: after money laundering charges dropped. And you know, one of
Speaker 1: the things I had talked about when this news broke
Speaker 1: months ago was that Nigerian government was kind of like
Speaker 1: holding him hostage so they could try to squeeze Binance
Speaker 1: for some money. And you know, they saw the Binance
Speaker 1: settlement in the United States for four billion dollars, so
Speaker 1: they're probably like, man, we want some of that money, right, So,
Speaker 1: but they were unlawfully holding this guy clearly bs charges
Speaker 1: and he was not doing very well health wise. It
Speaker 1: shows the extent some of these governments will do to
Speaker 1: get money. Nigeria's government has withdrawn the money laundering charges
Speaker 1: Finance Executive Tigrand Gambar Yon days Tigran Gambar jan I
Speaker 1: hope I said his name right days after a cord
Speaker 1: denied him bail. Local news outlet Punch reported on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: So this is good news that he's finally oud because
Speaker 1: his medical condition was deteriorating. It's pretty bad moving ahead, guys,
Speaker 1: uniswaps permission less bridging goes live across nine networks. So
Speaker 1: UNSWAP for those of you who don't know, is a
Speaker 1: decentralized exchange and the biggest out there, and the SEC
Speaker 1: is actually going after them, sent them a walls notice
Speaker 1: and so forth, but powered by across protocol. Permission less
Speaker 1: bridging via the UNISWAP interface or wallet is now live
Speaker 1: across nine networks. Initially, bridging is possible with the theorem
Speaker 1: based arbitrump polygon opi Mayet, Zora Blast World Chain and
Speaker 1: zk Sinc. So big update here around UNISWAP now Michael
Speaker 1: Saylor and Vitalic Bouterin are beefing a bit, and it
Speaker 1: comes as Vitalic criticized what Sailor had to say about
Speaker 1: self custody. Fatallic Booterin said, Michael Sailor's recent comments regarding
Speaker 1: regulated bitcoin custody concerns being mostly from paranoid crypto anarchists
Speaker 1: were batshit insane. Sailor seemed to be explicitly arguing for
Speaker 1: regulatory capture approach to crypto Booterin claimed, now the statements
Speaker 1: essentially that Sailor made were kind of like anti self
Speaker 1: custodes of Italic, who I think was right in calling
Speaker 1: him out. However, Sailor this morning, seemingly backtracking or adding
Speaker 1: clarity here, said I support self custody for those willing
Speaker 1: and able, the right to self custody for all, and
Speaker 1: freedom to choose the form of custody and custodian for
Speaker 1: individuals and institutions. Globally, Bitcoin benefits from all forms of
Speaker 1: investment by all types of entities and should welcome everyone. Now,
Speaker 1: as always, guys, I keep things real with you all.
Speaker 1: I'm not holding back anything, and I'll be as candid
Speaker 1: as possible. I think Michael Sailor is just an opportunist
Speaker 1: who he's using bitcoin to make money. Now, there's not
Speaker 1: necessarily anything wrong with that. The point is, though he
Speaker 1: uses a facade of Bitcoin is the best and this
Speaker 1: and that, but when you see his actions and sometimes
Speaker 1: some of his comments, it tells that it's just a
Speaker 1: matter of boosting up micro strategy for him. He's not
Speaker 1: like a true bitcoin believer, like the ethos of bitcoin
Speaker 1: and hard money and Satoshi in the white paper and
Speaker 1: so forth. He said those things in the past, but
Speaker 1: you can see over time he's deviating from it, and
Speaker 1: people are starting to call him out. Even some Bitcoin
Speaker 1: Maxi's now are going up against Sailor. They don't trust
Speaker 1: Sailor anymore. I saw Max Kaiser of all people tweet
Speaker 1: about Sailor and his comments, criticizing him. But what they
Speaker 1: don't realize is Sailor when he was telling you to
Speaker 1: sell your house and get a mortgage and so forth,
Speaker 1: just so you can buy bitcoin. When I saw, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, that is bad. He's gonna get people wrecked.
Speaker 1: A lot of Bitcoin Maxis were still supporting him and
Speaker 1: so forth, but I started calling him out from there,
Speaker 1: and I interviewed the guy you know, back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: But you know, we got to keep it real. We
Speaker 1: got to call it as it is, guys, not sugarcoated,
Speaker 1: not try to cover up anything. I don't take him
Speaker 1: as serious anymore because I see his agenda and I
Speaker 1: recall I think it was earlier this year where he
Speaker 1: was lying to a group of investors saying the regulator
Speaker 1: will never approve any all coined ets, bitcoins the best,
Speaker 1: and then literally a few weeks later, etherorem ETF was approved.
Speaker 1: So I was like, this guy's a liar. I tweeted
Speaker 1: out about it, and a bunch of people came, oh, no,
Speaker 1: he didn't mean that, and he said what he said.
Speaker 1: So I see him as an opportunist. I think he
Speaker 1: tells people, you know, buy bitcoin, don't sell it, and
Speaker 1: so forth, because he's simply that benefits him and his company.
Speaker 1: He doesn't care about you and the ability for you
Speaker 1: to have financial freedom. He just talks his book and
Speaker 1: he puts out a narrative there that benefits him in
Speaker 1: micro strategy. So I'm starting to see this for what
Speaker 1: it is. A lot of people will probably disagree, but
Speaker 1: make no mistake about it. Watch as things unfold. He's
Speaker 1: starting to depart from some of the statements he's made
Speaker 1: in the past, you know, in regards to the ethos
Speaker 1: of bitcoins. So I'm glad Vitale called him out, and
Speaker 1: I think this tweet here from Michael today is an
Speaker 1: evidence that he's trying to cover his tracks here now.
Speaker 1: Vietnam releases blockchain strategy aims for regional leadership. Vietnam's new
Speaker 1: blockchain strategy focuses on legal frameworks, infrastructure, and international cooperation
Speaker 1: as it aims to boost innovation and build a thriving ecosystem. Folks,
Speaker 1: we are seeing the global adoption of cryptio and blockchain.
Speaker 1: It's what we've been talking about for years. Every country
Speaker 1: will participate. What if I said going back to twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and so forth. Any country that bans this technology,
Speaker 1: they are writing their economic death center because the traditional
Speaker 1: assets will be tokenized on the blockchain, and this is
Speaker 1: going to be a big part in creating jobs and
Speaker 1: driving GDP growth. It won't be the only factor, obviously,
Speaker 1: there's going to be other industries, but this is going
Speaker 1: to be a big part of it. If the world
Speaker 1: is running on blockchain and you're taking all your traditional
Speaker 1: assets and putting it on there, you've got to embrace
Speaker 1: this thing. You've got to set the infrastructure up, you
Speaker 1: got to put the legislation in place right. You got
Speaker 1: to make it clear what institutions can do and what
Speaker 1: retail can do. We are seeing across the globe a
Speaker 1: move towards this industry and asset class, folks, and I
Speaker 1: hope you see it as well. I've been sharing these
Speaker 1: news items for years, and I hope it's resonating. I
Speaker 1: hope in the recesses of your mind, you are remembering
Speaker 1: these things and paying attention to what's happening. It's not
Speaker 1: making the big headlines on Fox, CNN, MSNBC and whatever
Speaker 1: mainstream media. But this is why we do our own research.
Speaker 1: We go and look at the information like this. We
Speaker 1: look at what the regulators are doing, what the big
Speaker 1: money is doing, and much more, and take our position
Speaker 1: because the masses are not paying attention. They're focusing other stuff,
Speaker 1: their Netflix shows and the election and so forth. And
Speaker 1: they'll get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with those things.
Speaker 1: But there's a balance. Right at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: We are trying to better our lives and get financial
Speaker 1: freedom and so forth, and there is an opportunity of
Speaker 1: a lifetime here and for the first time in history,
Speaker 1: the average joke can take part. They don't have to
Speaker 1: be accredited. They could be in any part of the
Speaker 1: world and get a cut of this asset class and technology.
Speaker 1: They can go build something in it, they can work
Speaker 1: in it and so forth. But obviously the investment aspect
Speaker 1: is the biggest part. So I am so happy and
Speaker 1: I feel lucky to be here early that I recognize this,
Speaker 1: and I've taken the position I've made money in previous
Speaker 1: bull markets and I'm going to look into make significant
Speaker 1: returns in this bullmarket. And I'm sure many of you
Speaker 1: as well. So it's incredible what is taking place globally, folks.
Speaker 1: So the Ministry of Information and Communication announced the strategy
Speaker 1: on October twenty third, outlining several key objectives to develop
Speaker 1: the country's blockchain capabilities. It aims to develop blockchain technology,
Speaker 1: establish relevant legal frameworks, and promote innovation in what it
Speaker 1: calls the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Do you want to know
Speaker 1: where that Fourth Industrial Revolution title comes from? In the
Speaker 1: context of crypto the World Economic Forum. I don't know
Speaker 1: how many of you recall I shared it maybe with
Speaker 1: you guys. A couple of years ago, or was it
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty when they released that paper the
Speaker 1: Fourth Industrial Revolution, it included blockchain and crypto and so forth. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're not doing your research, and you're reading headlines
Speaker 1: and you're listening to Jim Kramer, you wouldn't know this right.
Speaker 1: That's why I created this podcast. Folks. Big things are happening,
Speaker 1: and it's not for the masses, but for those who
Speaker 1: are financially educated. And financially educated means you can be
Speaker 1: educated into how the stock market works, how markets were
Speaker 1: to macro liquidity, money printing, what's happening in specific industries,
Speaker 1: whether it's AI, blockchain and crypto and so forth. So
Speaker 1: you have to do your own research. So big things
Speaker 1: are ahead, folks. I'm very bullish. Let me know what
Speaker 1: you guys think. Leave your thoughts and comments below. Be
Speaker 1: sure to sign up for my free email news that
