00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Hey, guys, Tony here. As you can see, I'm not

2
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>in my studio. I'm actually traveling. I'm in Los Angeles, California.

3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll actually be filming with Discovery to talk about James

4
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Howells and his search to recover his hard drive with

5
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.480
<v Speaker 1>seventy five hundred bitcoin on it. It's somewhere in a

6
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>landfill and he's trying to get that. So I'll give

7
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 1>you guys more details as I complete my filming. But guys,

8
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I had to make this video and mini podcast because

9
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>we got huge news today from MasterCard. Folks. I am

10
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>blown away by the amount of adoption we are seeing.

11
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>We have crossed the chasm when it comes to is

12
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>this acid class a fad, a scam, a Ponzi scheme?

13
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.719
<v Speaker 1>And there's still people who believe that, And this is

14
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.039
<v Speaker 1>why it's important for us to spread the information and

15
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the facts. So today MasterCard announce their end to end

16
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>capabilities to support stable coins, ensuring payments can be made

17
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 1>or received using them anytime, anywhere. Alongside proven leaders across

18
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Web three, finance and fintech, we're empowering consumers and businesses

19
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to use stable coins as easy as money in their

20
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>bank accounts. Folks, this is one of the largest credit

21
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>card companies. We are seeing bank stock exchanges, credit card companies,

22
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>and the major financial institutions globally adopting crypto in one

23
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>way to the other. They're building on different blockchains, they're

24
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>integrating stable coins, they're tokenizing and doing much more. And

25
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>let me share some of the other lingo they put

26
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>out here. Here's one of the title slides they tweeted

27
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 1>out powering faster, easier global payments, MasterCard, crypto credential lets,

28
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 1>crypto exchange users send and receive digital assets with easy

29
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 1>trusted user names. So they're trying to create the ability

30
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to move assets more easier, kind of like how you

31
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 1>send information via email or you tell someone here's my

32
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>social profile. They're trying to set it up that way

33
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 1>where you just send the information or you send the

34
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>funds to the respective address, but to back end it's

35
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>all handled accordingly, where there's interoperability and the ability to

36
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 1>segregate the different funds and the different information, whether it

37
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 1>be stable coins, digital assets, tokenize assets, or whatever it

38
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>may be. This is incredible. They also said MasterCards multi

39
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 1>token network, let's banks use blockchain financial products for faster settlement,

40
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 1>reducing time zone friction, and greater transparency. Guys, if you

41
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>are still on the fence about crypto and this acid class,

42
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>look at what is happening here. How can you see this?

43
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>And this is just one example, of course, and still

44
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>be bearish and still think this is a scam and

45
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 1>a ponzi and all that. But I guess this is

46
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>a nature of markets, right. Early adopters are going to

47
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>benefit those who take the time to educate themselves research

48
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>versus taking secondhand information from sensationalized headlines on mainstream news.

49
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>This is why you have to sit down and educate

50
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 1>yourself about this asset class. It's incredible what's happening, folks.

51
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>This is a major power move by one of the

52
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 1>largest credit card companies in the world. And as you

53
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>can imagine, American Express and Visa are not going to

54
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>sit by idly and watch this happening, right, So we're

55
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>going to see game theory and all types of competition

56
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 1>heat up here. And we also got news that Nexso,

57
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 1>the crypto lending platform, they're returning to the United States

58
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 1>after exiting in twenty twenty two, so we can finally

59
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>get some more lending options and staking and much more.

60
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>This is a very good sign. Here's what the article said.

61
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Crypto lender Nexso will return to the United States after

62
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a two year hiatus caused by regulatory challenges. Co founder

63
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Trenchev attributed the move to a more favorable environment

64
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>for innovation under the Trump administration. Nexso said it now

65
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 1>manages eleven billion dollars in assets and will offer its

66
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 1>full range of services to US clients, including high yields, savings,

67
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 1>and credit lines. So, folks, I think we're going to

68
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>start to see staking enable across the board, not only

69
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>from your crypto exchanges, but I think banks and certain

70
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>financial institutions want to get involved here because staking allows

71
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 1>you to earn higher yield and interest than you do

72
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>in your current bank account. Right, we've all seen how

73
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>these large banks can offer the same type of interest anymore. Likewise,

74
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 1>stable coin interest is higher too, So all signs point

75
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to this asset class being a huge driver of passive

76
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>income and much more. Now. There's also big news around

77
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Flare and tether so usdto, which is the unified liquidity

78
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 1>protocol for USDT, the world's largest stable coin. They are

79
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 1>now officially on flair. Many of you. Though I hold

80
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>a Flare token, I'm bullish on this token. I currently

81
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>delegate to earn rewards, and Hugo Fillion tweeted out big

82
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 1>green moves fast, globally ubiquitous, and massively liquid. Usdto is

83
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 1>a core plank of Flair's defive strat and upcoming XRP

84
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>five program. So getting this type of adoption with USDT

85
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>is very big for Flair. It's going to open up

86
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of utility, a lot of different use cases,

87
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's going to help XRP as well for XRP

88
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 1>DeFi capabilities on the Flare blockchain. So huge news here, guys,

89
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Exciting times. Now. We also got news that Blackrock bought

90
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand, two hundred and twenty bitcoin today. That's a

91
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>huge one day inflow. You look at the chart and

92
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 1>it shows a big spike, and this is very similar

93
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 1>to the spike that I've been sharing with you guys,

94
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>what we've seen with on chain data from sentiment that

95
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin whales with wallets of ten or more bitcoin. It's spiking, guys,

96
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>and bitcoin is looking really good on the charts, even

97
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 1>though we're seeing a little bit of a pullback, which

98
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 1>is healthy As I mentioned in yesterday's podcast, nothing goes

99
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>up in a straight line. It's going to build support

100
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>levels is going to move. But I think we kind

101
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 1>of have the confirmation here that the bottom is in

102
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and even if we retest certain price points, so I

103
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>don't think we're going back to seventy six thousand dollars.

104
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>So this is looking very good. Bitcoin is comfortably above

105
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the two hundred day moving average. Guys, I like what

106
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing here. Obviously, we need to let the market

107
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>show us and give us more confirmation. Right. We don't

108
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>want to get two bullish here. We want to be

109
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>balanced because there are always bear scenarios, but I think

110
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 1>the higher probability is the bullish scenario playing out here. So, guys,

111
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited. I see the market sentiment shifting. I see

112
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 1>global liquidity is rising. The dxy dollar currency INEX is crashing,

113
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Bitcoin is showing strength, some all coins are waking up

114
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>as well, and we also got a lot of stable

115
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 1>coin liquidity is being minted. So over the past week,

116
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I've shared with you guys that about three billion dollars

117
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 1>of USDT was minted. We'll make that four because today

118
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 1>another billion was minted. You know, I've been sharing this

119
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 1>data with you guys for a year's now and we've

120
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>seen eventually this liquidity hits the market and case in point,

121
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.720
<v Speaker 1>you know with bitcoins move, so exciting time times ahead.

122
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 1>As always have a cash I'll plan guys and know

123
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing. So that's the news. Folks, be sure

135
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.800

<v Speaker 1>here and how they're embracing this technology and building with it,
