6
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>or Apple, please leave a five star rating and review. Folks,

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.519
<v Speaker 1>not too much to report on the price. We are

8
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 1>still consolidating. We could still see further downside. But as

9
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I've been telling you guys, big One is heading to

10
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that oversoul zone and what we've seen historically, there's going

11
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a reversal sooner than later. So we're near

12
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the end in my opinion, because this thing is near

13
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 1>the oversoul zone. The Daily RSI is showing that. So

14
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>just hang tight and let's let the market do its

15
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 1>thing and let the reset happen. Because we are still

16
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>in a bull market and I want to share some

17
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>things here that are confirming that another rally is going

18
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 1>to follow the bottoming of the mart So Binance stable

19
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 1>coin inflow is top one point six billion dollars, signaling

20
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>traders positioning for rebound. So users of the Binance cryptocurrency

21
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Exchange deposited one point six to five billion in stable coins,

22
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a large inflow often seen as a precursor to renewed

23
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>demand for spot cryptocurrencies following the recent market sell off.

24
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>So whales are going to come in. They're going to

25
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 1>buy the dips. As I said in yesterday's podcast, the

26
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>sentiment's going to be reset to maybe fear or neutral

27
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>of getting away from the greed. And we've seen there's

28
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>been a lot of wipeout of leverage over the past

29
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 1>few weeks. Both shorts and longs have been wiped out.

30
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 1>So there's going to be a full reset, and I

31
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>think that's going to set the table for a massive

32
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 1>move upward. Now on chain data from Sentiment shows that

33
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin whales continue to accumulate while it's with ten or

34
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>more bitcoin are on the rise, and while you have

35
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 1>your ebbs and flows on the micro, you know, you

36
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 1>have different folks taking profits at you know, a smaller

37
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>time for the macro trend shows the majority of whales

38
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>are still holding, so that's a very good sign and

39
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 1>they are accumulating, So the trend is still up. It

40
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 1>is not down yet. When it is down, that is

41
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>when we are near that top zone, and we're gonna

42
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 1>have to watch it closely. Here's something from the macro.

43
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump announced that a dividend could be dispersed to the

44
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>American people from the tariff revenue. Now put your thinking

45
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.319
<v Speaker 1>gap on here. If this is gonna happen sometime in

46
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Q four, it is a top signal because retail is

47
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna get money to go put into the markets. Don't

48
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 1>get me wrong, Not everybody's gonna do that. There are

49
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>people who legitimately need the money. They gotta pay bills

50
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and all that, right, but you know people would access money.

51
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 1>What they do, they're gonna put it in the markets.

52
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>So giving people money when the top zone is near

53
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>is a big top signal. Now, let's see if it happens. Right,

54
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 1>this is just one factor, but if it does happen,

55
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>that will be a big confirmation. So this is why

56
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast we look at everything. We look at

57
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 1>market holistically, unchain data charts, the macro, the adoption, the

58
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 1>institutional investments, and much more. Right, folks, we want to

59
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 1>make sure we are as educated and informed as possible

60
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>so we make the right decisions when it comes to

61
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>our portfolio. All right, moving ahead, Sharplink buys fifty six thousand,

62
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and thirty three eight worth two hundred and

63
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 1>fifty two million dollars. So Sharplink Gaming is, of course

64
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 1>the publicly traded company that has an Etherorem treasury strategy.

65
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 1>It's backed by Joe Lubin and the folks at the

66
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Etherum Foundation. So you were seeing massive accumulation of eth

67
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 1>similar to what micro Strategy was doing with bitcoin. Now

68
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>you got Tom Lee's firm looking to raise billions to

69
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>invest in Etherorem. Just yesterday we talked about Galaxy Digital,

70
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>multi Coin Capital and other firms working with Cancer Fitzgeral

71
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to raise a billion dollars to invest in Solana. So

72
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 1>the treasury companies keep buying. Now that is a very

73
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>good sign, folks, because they're anticipating higher prices. It means

74
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 1>that the bull market's not over. Why would they be

75
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>buying the top if this was the top, right, that

76
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make sense. So they're still upside here and that's

77
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 1>why they're accumulating at a rapid pace. Now, this is

78
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>very bullish news and the biggest news of the day.

79
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I often tell you guys that governments, the markets, and

80
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the economies will all run on blockchain. That is the

81
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>direction that Puck is heading in. Well. Today the US

82
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Department of Commerce, headed up by Howard Lutnik, he said

83
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>that the US will begin publishing economic data on blockchain. Wow,

84
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 1>let me play the clip here for you.

85
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Two more things. The Department of Commerce is going to

86
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 2>start issuing its statistics on the blockchain, because you are

87
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the crypto president, and we are going to put out

88
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>GDP on the blockchain, so people can use the blockchain

89
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>for data distribution. And then we're going to make that

90
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>available to the entire government, so all of you can

91
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>do it. Out all the details so we can do it, pats.

92
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Wow, there you heard it right from the horse's mouth.

93
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>They're going to put GDP data on the blockchain. It

94
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 1>will be accessible to all parts of the government and folks.

95
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 1>I believe voting will be on the blockchain, our identities

96
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 1>will be on the blockchain, all payments that a government

97
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 1>will be on blockchain, and much more. This is the future, right.

98
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I often state that blockchains the next layer on top

99
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 1>of the Internet, and it's going to change the way

100
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 1>we transact with each other, with the government, and much more.

101
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>And this is where smart contract technologies and this is

102
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>where smart contract technologies come in very handy to be

103
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 1>able to eliminate a lot of the middleman, allow us

104
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to trust and verify and have these transactions settled instantly.

105
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.199
<v Speaker 1>So incredible, folks. Again, do you see the direction to

106
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 1>puckets heading in? That is why I've been saying I'm

107
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>not just bullish on this bullmarket cycle, but the future

108
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.519
<v Speaker 1>bullmarket cycle is coming up in twenty twenty eight and

109
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>into twenty thirty and much more so. Exciting times, head, folks.

110
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 1>I am really really looking forward to seeing which blockchains

111
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>they're going to use the government. That is that will

112
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 1>be very revealing. Now, folks, quickly from our sponsor, and

113
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 1>that is Treasure. Treasure makes hardware wallets that make it

114
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.199
<v Speaker 1>easy for you to safely store your crypto. Many of

115
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm a believer in self custody. I have

116
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.399
<v Speaker 1>been self custoding the majority of my crypto assets on

117
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:26.160
<v Speaker 1>hardware wallets for years, and folks, Treasure, they were the

118
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>pioneers of the hardware wallets and the seed phrase setup.

119
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>They started the whole thing, so they have this incredible

120
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 1>pedigree and they support a variety of tokens, even the

121
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 1>top coins like Bitcoiny, Theorem Xrpiece a Want, and much more,

122
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>even new tokens like black Rocks, Biddle. They have a

123
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 1>great software called Treasure Suite that helps you to manage

124
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.720
<v Speaker 1>all these things, and Treasures hardware wallets are open source, folks.

125
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 1>They also have a handholding service that makes it easy

126
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.959
<v Speaker 1>to on board and set up your device. And don't worry,

127
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>they don't ask you for your seed phrases. Of course,

128
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 1>that is something you keep to yourself. And recently, Treasure

129
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 1>announced while connect is now available to Treasure users and

130
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:07.199
<v Speaker 1>it's bringing hardware wallet security to thousands of on chain apps.

131
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>So this is a great integration. And they said here

132
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 1>with this integration, Treasure users can connect to thousands of

133
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>apps across any major blockchain directly from their hardware wallet.

134
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 1>No app switching, no third party extensions, just a direct

135
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>line between your hardware wallet and tools you trust. So

136
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>this is really great and I love that they're expanding

137
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and adding all these functionalities. And folks, if you use

138
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 1>my code thinking crypto all one word, thinking Crypto, you

139
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.959
<v Speaker 1>can get five percent off your purchase of a Treasure device.

140
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm a user of the Treasure save five, so I'm

141
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>a believer in the product, I use it, so if

144
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>around Crypto dot Com and Trump Media. They have formed

145
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a massive partnership so Trump Media Group. They will build

148
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>two billion dollars for a RO digital strategy. Trump Media

<v Speaker 1>platforms plan to integrate Crypto dot COM's digital wallet, and

150
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>they will also integrate the erro token on truth Social

151
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.639
<v Speaker 1>and Truth Plus platforms. This is a massive partnership and

152
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't hold a er token, but it's very big

153
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>for Crypto dot com to have Trump Media and technology

154
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.519
<v Speaker 1>and all these things integrate their technology. It's a big

155
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 1>win for them. And once again I don't hold the tokens.

156
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to prop this upbringing and I'm not

157
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>saying you shouldn't invest in it. I think it could

158
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.720
<v Speaker 1>do really well with this news. I think based on

159
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the news, it's all also starting to rally, So folks,

160
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 1>you can go read the full press release, but those

161
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 1>are the main highlights and once again, should do real

162
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 1>for the token and for crypto dot COM's market share,

163
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>as you know, a lot there's a lot of people

164
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 1>that follow a president Trump and use truth, social and

165
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.159
<v Speaker 1>much more. I think they're going to start investing in

166
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.519
<v Speaker 1>crypto as a result. So you're seeing all these new

167
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>on ramps being built. So this is really really exciting. Now,

168
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:06.639
<v Speaker 1>speaking of Trump, Canary Capital has filed for a spot

169
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Trump coin ETF. Guys, I'm not a fan of this

170
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 1>because you all know I'm not a believer in the

171
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Trump meme coin. I don't believe any president should have that, Democrat, Republican, independent, whatever,

172
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>any government official actually should not have these things. But hey, look,

173
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll see how this plays out. Hopefully people

174
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>don't get wrecked. But we saw when Trump got into

175
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.799
<v Speaker 1>office the meme coin was launched, and then Milani and

176
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.679
<v Speaker 1>then Barren. Guys, just be careful, right. I can't tell

177
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't go invest, but I'm just saying this. This

178
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>is very risky, and once again, it has nothing to

179
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 1>do with political parties. But no politicians should have this.

180
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 1>And I don't even know if this is going to

181
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>get approved because it's you know, there's no what do

182
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 1>you call it, futures markets and things like that. It's

183
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>not like it's Salon or XRP, and you know those

184
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.519
<v Speaker 1>are in the mix right now. This could be maybe

185
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Canary doing a little bit of a PR stunt. I

186
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.399
<v Speaker 1>think we'll see, We'll see how it plays out, all right.

187
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Moving ahead, more ETF news. Bit Wise, Asset Management has

188
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>filed for a Spot chain Link ETF, so the all

189
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.120
<v Speaker 1>coin spot ETF race is heating up. Just yesterday we

190
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>talked about Gradescale filing to get an AVAX ETF. So

191
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing diversification and expansion and these are all you know,

192
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>top twenty assets Avax, chain Link, h BAR and much more.

193
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>So let's see what the SEC is able to get done.

194
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.399
<v Speaker 1>One thing, as I mentioned earlier, there needs to be

195
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a futures market. That's what the SEC is looking at.

196
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 1>And you know we've seen that Solana and XRP futures

197
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>have been launched on the CM and other platforms, and

198
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 1>this has been the protocol so to speak, that the

199
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>SEC is required you must have a futures market. I

200
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>think they want to see how that's working and regulated

201
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 1>and all the statistics there and then they make their decision.

202
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 1>I do believe they're going to improve the XRP and solanaspodytfs.

203
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 1>So this is very bullish. Now moving ahead, Hemi closes

204
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>fifteen million dollar funding round ahead of a token launch

205
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 1>for its Bitcoin programmability layer. So this brings their total

206
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 1>funding to thirty million dollars. So Hemi, which describes itself

207
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 1>as the largest programmability layer on bitcoin, has raised fifteen

208
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>million dollars in fresh funding to advance development of its

209
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 1>network that fuses bitcoin security with the theorem style smart

210
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>contracts ahead of an upcoming token generation. A couple of

211
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>takeaways here. You see that there are many folks trying

212
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 1>to innovate on bitcoin to make it more programmable because

213
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.879
<v Speaker 1>it's just digital goal. In my opinion, it's hard money.

214
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>It has a scarcity aspect. It is the most secure

215
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.519
<v Speaker 1>blockchain out there with the proof of work and the

216
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>amount of money and all these things that are in place,

217
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.759
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't have smart contract technology. You can't tokenize

218
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>on it as you know other layer ones like Ethereum

219
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>or XRP and things like that. So folks are trying

220
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to build. Will they be successful. We don't know, you know,

221
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.879
<v Speaker 1>maybe they will, We just have to wait and see.

222
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 1>But a major takeaway is that a lot of these

223
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 1>companies and firms are still getting capital. So if you

224
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.399
<v Speaker 1>have an idea, go pick your idea, guys, it obviously

225
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>has to be a good one. Put your pitch deck together,

226
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of these vcs and hedge funds, they

227
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.759
<v Speaker 1>are giving funding because we are in the early phases

228
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 1>of this market and acid class that people recognize the

229
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.399
<v Speaker 1>potential and they're taking their bets. So really great on

230
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 1>multiple fronts. So the funding arrives as more developers look

231
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:34.559
<v Speaker 1>to bridge Bitcoin's two point one trillion dollar network to

232
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 1>hire throughput smart contract rails without diluting its security model.

233
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Hemi's pitch is that it can deliver EVM level programmability

234
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>while anchoring finality to Bitcoin, a design it argues will

235
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>help unlock institutional grade applications on the world's largest blockchain.

236
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Very interesting. Speaking of bitcoin, bitcoin minor hut eight announces

237
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.399
<v Speaker 1>one point five gigawa expansion in the US. Stock rises

238
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>ten percent. So bitcoin miners are doing well, you know,

239
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, they are expanding their mining more bitcoin,

240
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and obviously as bitcoin's price goes up, the more fees

241
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and revenue they're going to make. And of course some

242
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>of them are publicly traded, so that should help their

243
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>stock price. So according to a Tuesday announcement, the expansion

244
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>is aimed at broadening the company's geographic footprint and target

245
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>markets where energy demand is rising most rapidly. Hut eight

246
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 1>shares on nasdac's sword as much as ten point five

247
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.039
<v Speaker 1>percent on Tuesday following the announcement. According to Google Finance,

248
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the company said it's current one gigawatt capacity has been

249
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:44.639
<v Speaker 1>ninety percent taken up. Here's a quote. By advancing more

250
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 1>than one point five gigawatts of capacity, we position ourselves

251
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.960
<v Speaker 1>to more than double the scale of our platform and

252
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 1>address accelerating demand across energy intensive use cases. Hut eight

253
00:13:55.399 --> 00:14:00.120
<v Speaker 1>CEO Asher ginut set so very interesting. I do you

254
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.279
<v Speaker 1>hold some bitcoin mining stocks. I think I have Riot.

255
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I'd bought it a while ago, but I don't hold

256
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot. It's not like a major bag or anything.

257
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I just diversify. I have some stocks. I've had coin

258
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.559
<v Speaker 1>based stock that has worked out really well for me,

259
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 1>and then I did test out like black Rocks Bitcoin

260
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.279
<v Speaker 1>ETF buying it on Robinhood for example. I just wanted

261
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 1>to go through the process. So I have some but

262
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 1>once again, not a major holding at all. The majority

263
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 1>of my portfolio is in crypto. I am neck deep

264
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>in crypto, so bullish all the way on crypto assets.

265
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Not to say stocks can do well, but we've seen

266
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>crypto has outperform other acid classes stocks, real estate, precious

267
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.919
<v Speaker 1>metals and much more so, folks, things are moving ahead.

268
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Final news item here crypto exchange Gemini introduces Ether and

269
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Salona steaking and for all UK customers, So this is great.

270
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 1>They're expanding globally. Just yesterday we talked about the XRP

271
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.799
<v Speaker 1>rewards card that they launched, where you have a credit card,

272
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.679
<v Speaker 1>it's master Card powered, you go and you spend on food, gas,

273
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.279
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, and you earn XRP rewards. So that's

274
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.080
<v Speaker 1>really great. So they're expanding. I think they're trying to

275
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>boost their competitiveness. I think for a while they weren't

276
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>doing much and other exchanges kind of came and stole

277
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 1>their market share and you know, like Coinbase and Cracking

278
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and much more. So great to see that they are expanding,

279
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I think a lot of what hurt

280
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.600
<v Speaker 1>them was the genesis and the staking earning situation. But

281
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.960
<v Speaker 1>they're all past that. It wasn't Gemini's fault. It was

282
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, genesis of course trading. But thank goodness, that's

283
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 1>resolved and the customers were made whold and things are

284
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.639
<v Speaker 1>moving ahead. So folks, as I said at the beginning

285
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.639
<v Speaker 1>of the podcast, be patient. The market will bottom out

286
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:44.399
<v Speaker 1>and we are going to rally. We're still in the

287
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>bull market. All the data points as signals, the metrics

288
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>on chain data, and all these things still confirm that.

289
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.080
