16
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>rating and review. Folks, we have to start by taking

17
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a look at the price of bitcoin, because there's red

18
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>candles all about are starting to get fearfold. There's a

19
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>bit of panic because both the stock market, the bitcoin

20
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.799
<v Speaker 1>and the crypto market are all crashing. But guys, check

21
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 1>your emotions at the door. Let's calm down and let's

22
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 1>look at facts. Let's look at metrics. So what the

23
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>hell is happening with the stock market right, because we

24
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>know there's a correlation with crypto and the stock market.

25
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>If we look at the Nasdaq and the S and

26
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 1>P five hundred, both were in the overbought zone with

27
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the RSI over seventy, and that is textbook. Guys, go

28
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>read about RSI. Fidelity has an entire educational guide on this,

29
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>and let me just read an excerpt here. RSI is

30
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 1>considered overbought when above seventy and over sold when below thirty.

31
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>These traditional levels can also be adjusted if necessary to

32
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 1>better fit the security. For example, if a security is

33
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 1>repeatedly reaching the overbought level of seventy, you may want

34
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 1>to adjust this level to eighty. And it talks about

35
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you know these things can lead to price corrections. Well,

36
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>look at that, both the Nasdaq and and the S

37
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 1>ANDP of five hundred, we're both hitting that eighty on

38
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the RSI level, breaking through seventy. So what did you

39
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>think was going to happen? Right with zoom out, you

40
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>see the same pattern going back to years and years,

41
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 1>and if you just look at the past year, the

42
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>same thing every time overbought correction, then it gets over

43
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>sold pumps, then overbought dumps, then over sold pumps, right,

44
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>same thing. This is why you have to understand the

45
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>charts and the metrics. Guys. This is what changed my

46
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 1>life when it comes to investing, because prior to this,

47
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>I was going with my emotions and what the narratives

48
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>are in the news. The news are saying, oh, the

49
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 1>jobs report caused the market to crash. All recession fears, right,

50
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with that. So we are seeing

51
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>typical market cycles play out here. And of course there's

52
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the correlation between the stock market and bitcoin and crypto,

53
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 1>and it's all tied to global liquidity. Bitcoin is feeling

54
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 1>that gravitational pull with the liquidity being sucked out of

55
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 1>the stock market and so forth. But it's RSI. While

56
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>it didn't break the seventy market, it was very close.

57
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 1>It was around sixty eight, So it's pulling back just

58
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 1>like the stock market. But what's interesting, guys, the DXY,

59
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the dolar currency index, is dumping as well. So I

60
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>know you may say, Tony, you always tell us there's

61
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 1>an inverse correlation, yes, but it's not one hundred percent accurate,

62
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes there's a lag. So, for example, the DXY

63
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 1>crashing here, eventually the liquidity will move to the assets

64
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 1>as they hit the overbod zone and then you're going

65
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.199
<v Speaker 1>to see an epic rally as the DXY continues to

66
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 1>break down and show weakness. So please understand, it's not

67
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>an instantaneous thing that all of a sudden, the DXY

68
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>is dumping. That means assets have to pump. There's usually

69
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 1>a lag, so please understand that. So, guys, the metrics

70
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 1>are telling us these things were overbought and they were

71
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 1>due for a cool down. There has not been any

72
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>invalidation of the bull market and the uptrend we're in.

73
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 1>As I've been telling you guys, we're in a macro

74
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>bowl market for crypto stocks really the state and so forth.

75
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>And guys, here's the more bullish news. The M two

76
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>money supply, the USM two money supply has crossed twenty

77
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>one trillion dollars. Once again, if you go and look

78
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 1>at this on the Federal Reserve website, and you even

79
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 1>just do a five year outlook, right, there was incredible

80
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>liquidity that was put in in twenty twenty twenty twenty one,

81
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>we know they printed trillions and so forth, and then

82
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the Fed started tightening. Come twenty twenty two, they started

83
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.279
<v Speaker 1>selling the securities, raising rates, and then you saw that

84
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 1>liquidity dip. Well, all of a sudden, it's on the increase.

85
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 1>So you know what that means, folks boom and bus,

86
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>rinse and repeat. They're gonna start cutting as their own

87
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 1>palace signal, they're gonna start printing money. And one of

88
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the things I highlighted to you guys the other day

89
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 1>or literally yesterday, Janet Yellen and the folks at the

90
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Treasury are increasing their liquidity injections. So you have rate cuts,

91
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the signal coming September into Q four, and then you

92
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 1>have Janet yelling and Treasury injecting liquidity, and all of

93
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 1>these things are going to lead to higher asset prices.

94
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Not only is the liquidity growing in the United States,

95
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>it's happening globally. China injected money into their stock market

96
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and so forth, and then you have ray cuts have

97
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>already started in other countries. So it means we're going

98
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 1>back to easy money, more money printing. I'm not saying

99
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 1>that I want that to happen. I'm just stating the

100
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 1>facts because sometimes people are like, dude, that's not good.

101
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I know it's not good. But the only way to

102
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>save yourself is to diversify into assets so you outpace

103
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the debasement, you outpace the inflation, and you grow your wealth.

104
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 1>So that's what we're doing here, right. I'm not trying

105
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 1>to say keep printing money until the governments figure out

106
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 1>a solution. This is the story. This is how it goes.

107
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>So we until maybe they do something with blockchain and bitcoin.

108
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know with cbdc's We'll have to wait and see.

109
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>But this is the name of the game. So guys,

110
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm bullish. I gave you fact metrics here, not my emotions,

111
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 1>not my hopes and dreams, but what I'm seeing on

112
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.959
<v Speaker 1>the charts and the different data points on the macro

113
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>as well. And here's some very bullish news which indicates

114
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 1>that institutional investors know there's higher heights coming. Morgan Stanley

115
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>tells wealth advisors they can pitch bitcoin ETFs in a

116
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>first for a big bank. Folks, there's so many of

117
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the Wall Street firms who have not touched the ETFs

118
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>as yet, and Morgan Stanley is one of the biggest.

119
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I interviewed an ex Black Rock VP who

120
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.959
<v Speaker 1>now works at Mike Novagrants's Galaxy Digital. The interview was

121
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 1>published this morning and he was literally talking about this.

122
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's serendipitous where the news broke this morning that

123
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I published the interview of these big wirehouses and so

124
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>forth that have not given the green light for their

125
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>folks to start pitching this. So here it is, it's coming.

126
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you think this is going to do? One

127
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest Wall Street banks and firms, they bring

128
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.399
<v Speaker 1>in a ton more capital folks. So Morgan Stanley on

129
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Friday told its army of financial advisors that it will

130
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>soon allow them to offer bitcoin ETFs to some clients,

131
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.319
<v Speaker 1>first among major Wall Street banks. CNBC has learned the

132
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 1>firms fifteen thousand or so financial advisors can solicit eligible

133
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 1>clients to purchase shares of two exchange traded bitcoin funds

134
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 1>starting August seventh, just next week. According to people with

135
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>the knowledge of the policy, those funds are black Rocks

136
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 1>I Shares Bitcoin Trusts and Fidelities Wise Origin Bitcoin fund

137
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>So they're starting with black Rock and Fidelity I hope

138
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 1>you see what's happening here. Morgan Stanley's not caring about

139
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>this pullback. They're probably gonna use this as a buying opportunity, right,

140
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to allow their clients to get the versification by to

141
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 1>lows and then they'll sell the highs. Right, Guys that

142
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.639
<v Speaker 1>they know what they're doing. They they have rooms full

143
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>of analysts, tons of bots and algorithms and so forth.

144
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Know the deal. And unless you're financially educated where you

145
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 1>understand market cycles and these metrics, I'm showing you, you

146
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>are like a plastic bag caught in the win. You're

147
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>just blowing with it right, listening to Jim Kramer. But

148
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>this is why I keep preaching guys, look at these metrics.

149
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:17.639
<v Speaker 1>You can go pull them up. I share my screen.

150
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I shows what's on Trading View. I show you what's

151
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 1>on the RSI. I showed you with Fidelity's website with

152
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 1>the educational section on RSI, go read up on that.

153
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I showed you the M two money supply in the

154
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.519
<v Speaker 1>US on the fed's website. You can go pull that up.

155
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I am not here to play games. I'm here to

156
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>make money. And these are the things I'm seeing. And

157
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 1>this is very bullish news. I hope you guys understand

158
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.399
<v Speaker 1>what's happening here. And as always, game theory will play out.

159
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>The other firms are gonna follow Morgan Stanny's lead here.

160
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>We saw it with the ets. We've seen it time

161
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 1>and time again, and just recently Goldman Sachs CEO I

162
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>think it was last week, came out and said, you know,

163
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 1>biitcoin's bullish on bitcoin. They're gonna launch tokenization projects and

164
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the rest is history. They're all here. You can't sit

165
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>on the fence anymore. If you don't adapt to this technology,

166
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>you will get left behind and you could have your

167
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 1>blockbuster moment where you go bankrupt. All right, guys, moving ahead,

168
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>we got big news that Congressman Rocanna, who I recently

169
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>had on the podcast. He's a Democrat, one of the

170
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.320
<v Speaker 1>top Democrats out of California. He's very familiar with tech.

171
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>He's been heading up Silicon Valley or representing Silicon Value

172
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. Well, he's going to host another

173
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>meeting with Kamala Harris's team and the crypto industry to

174
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 1>I quote, help repair crypto relations. This is being reported

175
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 1>by Eleanor Taroti Fox Business. So he recently held a

176
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 1>round table with Mark Cuban, so it looks like he's

177
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>making another push. And there's talks that Kamala Harris's team

178
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 1>has met with Ripple coinbase A, sixteen Z and other

179
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.519
<v Speaker 1>industry leaders. So this is very bullish and I'm not

180
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>advocating to go vote for Kamala Harris. My goal here

181
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>is to make sure crypto is a bipartisan issue, not

182
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>a partisan issue. It shouldn't be. Oh, Democrats are anti

183
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>crypto and Republicans are pro crypto. That is not the case.

184
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>I know Elizabeth Warren made it that way, but it

185
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be the case. It shouldn't even be an election issue.

186
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>So my hope is that Kamala Harris comes out with

187
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a pro crypto policy and it balances the situation because

188
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is procrypto, so it takes that issue off

189
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the table. People can go vote for whatever other issues

190
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>that we have, and there's many more. Right, everybody has

191
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>a different walk of life, a different perspective. I'm not

192
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 1>here to tell you who to vote for. You are

193
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 1>an adult, and I'm here to report the news and

194
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>then you form your own conclusions and make your own

195
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 1>decisions as an adult. I'm not here to tell you

196
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>to go vote this person, go vote that person. No,

197
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 1>that's up to you because your first issue may not

198
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.919
<v Speaker 1>be crypto, it could be many other things. So, guys,

199
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>this is very it looks promising, but as I've been saying,

200
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>talk is cheap. Kamala Harris, where you at. I haven't

201
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.919
<v Speaker 1>seen one word out of your mouth and I haven't

202
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>seen any action taken. And those are the facts. So

203
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 1>until we see something, this is all for a dog

204
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and pony show. And look, I am optimistic they can

205
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>do something, but at the end of the day, don't

206
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>tell me, show me. So eleanor Terret says. This meeting

207
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 1>was originally supposed to take place on Monday, but they

208
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:16.919
<v Speaker 1>got to push back till later in the week, so

209
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>essentially it's happening next week. I'm hoping to hear some details.

210
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'll try to get Congressman ro Kanna back on

211
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 1>the podcast to talk about this and let's see what

212
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>they're able to come up with. But it's promising. It's

213
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a good sign, but show me, don't tell me. Now, guys,

214
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.840
<v Speaker 1>we got some details as to why Senator Roger Marshall,

215
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 1>a Republican backed out of Senator Elizabeth Warren's anti crypto bill.

216
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.639
<v Speaker 1>If we recall I reported on this news I think

217
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>it was last week, and this was a huge loss

218
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 1>for Elizabeth Warren. One of the biggest names in her

219
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 1>anti crypto army, who was co sponsoring this bill, just

220
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.159
<v Speaker 1>dropped out. And I mean that was a big win

221
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>for the industry. So here's a quote from Roger Marshall.

222
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.679
<v Speaker 1>I think that it probably goes too far in the

223
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 1>know your customer, he said, adding that bitcoin minors shouldn't

224
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 1>be subject to KYC requirements. I think I was a

225
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit misinformed on how to get all the way

226
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 1>up the crypto chain. Shout out to Taylor Barr who

227
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 1>highlighted this. He's of the Digital Chamber. So you have

228
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>folks at the Digital Chamber, the Satoshi Act Fund, Blockchain Association,

229
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>all these firms have been doing a lot of advocacy

230
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.639
<v Speaker 1>and spreading knowledge in DC. And knowledge is winning here, folks,

231
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and education is winning here. Because Roger Marshall said he

232
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 1>didn't understand he was misinformed, most likely by Elizabeth Warren,

233
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, you know what, I can't back this nonsense.

234
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting out of it. That's a huge loss for

235
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth Warren, and we're seeing her cronies are dropping like

236
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.399
<v Speaker 1>flies in the elections. They're losing support and Crypto has

237
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>amassed over two hundred million dollars to support pro crypto candidates,

238
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>So are on a deserted island by themselves. So this

239
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>is big news here. Alexander Grieve highlighted the following from

240
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Republican SEC Commissioner marqu Wade Up. He says, in a

241
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Data Standard Protocol MARKETWAYA calls for ideas around decentralized disclosure

242
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.519
<v Speaker 1>from crypto companies and protocols. There are great people at

243
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.279
<v Speaker 1>the SEC. The guy at the top just ruins everything.

244
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 1>We know who he's talking about, and that is scumbag

245
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>regulator Gary Gins, who should be fired. It's unbelievable what

246
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the SEC has become under this guy. All right, guys,

247
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.840
<v Speaker 1>quick word from our sponsor, and that is Bitco. Bit goes,

249
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.600

250
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.039
<v Speaker 1>zero and two point zero legend. The man was at Netscape,

251
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>he was at Google, and now he's here building in

252
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Web three. Many big companies in the crypto industry use

253
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Bitgo for custodies such as Pantera Capital, Thats, dan Morehead,

254
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:57.919
<v Speaker 1>bit Stamp Exchange, Bitcoin Ira, Nike uses Bitgo's wallet services

255
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.200
<v Speaker 1>for their NFTs and the certain says that bitgo offer

258
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.080
<v Speaker 1>visit bitgo dot com. Guys, we've got some news here

259
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that the CFTC subpoenis ben Bitcoin, Armstrong's former company in

260
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>fraud investigation asked about activity for tokens such as ben

261
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.639
<v Speaker 1>So this is MESSI and many of you know Bitboy.

262
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>He's had his ups and downs with his life and

263
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.399
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of stuff, substance abuse and so forth. And

264
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm not here to judge demand, but I'm just reporting

265
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the facts. And it seems like the CFTC is like, Okay,

266
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna see what the hell is going on here.

267
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.360
<v Speaker 1>So hit Network was the company that eventually took over

268
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>bit boys channel and all that stuff, and we know

269
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.799
<v Speaker 1>they how that's relationship ended. So they're going to look

270
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:53.320
<v Speaker 1>into the tokens such as the bencin and other token

271
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>promotions they did back in twenty twenty. So I don't

272
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.799
<v Speaker 1>know what's gonna happen here. But you know, I don't

273
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:03.399
<v Speaker 1>know if they promoted things and did not disclose that

274
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.080
<v Speaker 1>they were token holders. I always disclose my sponsors, right,

275
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I clearly tell you about that. It's disclosed in my

276
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>description of my podcast and so forth. So that's the thing.

277
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.879
<v Speaker 1>You have to disclose that you're promoting a token and

278
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you were paid to do so, or you're a token holder. Right,

279
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.399
<v Speaker 1>So let's see what happens. But this could get really

280
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.399
<v Speaker 1>messy because we see a lot of drama follow Ben Armstrong,

281
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.559
<v Speaker 1>bit boy. So let's see where things go. All right,

282
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 1>we got news here that hash keys over the counter

283
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 1>trading unit awarded Singapore's payment license. So around the globe

284
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing expansion licenses getting acquired, mergers and acquisition and

285
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.440
<v Speaker 1>much more so. The license, which allows the firms to

286
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.879
<v Speaker 1>offer a number of digital asset related services, was introduced

287
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>following the Payment Services Act of twenty nineteen. So guys,

288
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:55.759
<v Speaker 1>you see, these things take years. Sometimes a lot of

289
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.679
<v Speaker 1>these companies are waiting for their licenses to deploy more capital,

290
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.399
<v Speaker 1>speak and launch new services for institutional investors and retail investors.

291
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker 1>So OTC we know, for the most part is institutional.

292
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.480
<v Speaker 1>That's where you buy, you know, crypto assets, but it's

293
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.879
<v Speaker 1>not recorded on the open market like an exchange. So

294
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.759
<v Speaker 1>for example, a high net worth individual who's maybe a

295
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 1>multimillionaire can go buy millions in bitcoin, ethereum, x rpiece, alona,

296
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, over the counter and none of that

297
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.039
<v Speaker 1>is recorded on the open market. What price they bought at,

298
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>how much and so forth. Now you may summize, okay,

299
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.559
<v Speaker 1>some stuff move from this wallet to that wallet, but

300
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.240
<v Speaker 1>it has no effect on the price the buying and

301
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>selling and so forth. And that's what a lot of

302
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>whales do. They buy over the counter, and they buy

303
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.519
<v Speaker 1>directly from minors and so forth, So they don't use

304
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 1>what retail uses, you know. They don't go to coinbase

305
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 1>app and buy or uphold or something and buy any

306
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>open market they'll go. It's kind of the back room

307
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.519
<v Speaker 1>thing where no one knows that accept those folks. So

308
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:03.360
<v Speaker 1>very interesting news here. Genesis completes bankruptcy restructuring, begins distributing

309
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.160
<v Speaker 1>four billion dollars in crypto and cash. So crypto lender

310
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Genesis Global has completed its restructuring process on Friday after

311
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>filing for bankruptcy protection in January twenty twenty three. The

312
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 1>firm is also beginning to distribute four billion dollars worth

313
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 1>of assets to its remaining creditors. On average, Genesis creditors

314
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>will recover sixty four percent of their in kind cryptocurrency repayments,

315
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>though it will vary coin by coin. So, guys, we're

316
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>seeing the absolute cleanup of all the legacy twenty twenty

317
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:35.599
<v Speaker 1>two debacles. And obviously Genesis was a big one with

318
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Gemini and the Earned situation, and thankfully that has been

319
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.599
<v Speaker 1>resolved with the Earned users they got their money back,

320
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:47.839
<v Speaker 1>and FTX bankruptcy taken care of Celsius I believe they're

321
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.920
<v Speaker 1>somewhat taken care of as well, so this is good.

322
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:55.039
<v Speaker 1>The cleanup nature is healing, right. We can put these

323
00:17:55.039 --> 00:18:00.359
<v Speaker 1>things behind us and go for the moon and higher prices,

324
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>and the Wall streeters are here, the institutional investors and

325
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I think were The bar has been raised higher with

326
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.160
<v Speaker 1>custody and security and so forth, so this is all good.

327
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.359
<v Speaker 1>I want these things to be wrapped up sooner than

328
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 1>later so we can put them behind us. Check this

329
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:20.880
<v Speaker 1>out Instagram and Facebook a veteran joins crypto VC firm

330
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Paradigm as the CMO. So David Swan is the new

331
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:30.039
<v Speaker 1>chief marketing officer. So the hire comes shortly after Paradigm

332
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:32.880
<v Speaker 1>raised eight hundred and fifty million dollars for its third

333
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.599
<v Speaker 1>fund in June. So Paradigm is is one of the

334
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:38.119
<v Speaker 1>biggest investment firms in crypto. Guys, and look at the

335
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 1>amount of money they raise for their third fund, not

336
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.599
<v Speaker 1>the first, not the second, the third. It's pretty amazing.

337
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>And of course they're deploying that capital into companies, building

338
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:51.759
<v Speaker 1>the infrastructure of the market, but also buying tokens. And

339
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I often like to pay attention to where they're putting

340
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.279
<v Speaker 1>their money and look at their portfolio, especially like a

341
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.960
<v Speaker 1>sixteen Z I had not too long ago interviewed a

342
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 1>Vichel Garg of Electric Capital, where they have two billion

343
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:08.440
<v Speaker 1>in assets under management. They're one of the top crypto

344
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 1>investment firms as well. So, guys, lots of capital is

345
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.559
<v Speaker 1>coming into this market. The exodus some trad FI into

346
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.880
<v Speaker 1>crypto is happening. As I mentioned, I interviewed an ex

347
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Blackrock VP who's now working at a crypto investment firm,

348
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy Digital, and That interview was published earlier, so be

349
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.920
<v Speaker 1>sure to check it out. So, guys, I'm bullish. I

350
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>don't care what the hell the price is doing here.

351
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.759
<v Speaker 1>There hasn't been any invalidation of the bull market. I'm

352
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>looking at the macro factors. I'm looking at different metrics

353
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 1>in the charts and so forth, data driven, not emotional driven.

354
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>If there's an invalidation, I will be here telling you, guys,

355
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 1>this thing has been invalidated. Pack your bags, let's go home.

356
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.359
<v Speaker 1>It's over right. But there hasn't been anything like that.

357
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:57.640
<v Speaker 1>And while it may be stomach churning and it's a

358
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:01.519
<v Speaker 1>rollercoaster ride, you know, when the market's so volatile, you

359
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.039
<v Speaker 1>got to hang in there. You got to check your

360
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.319
<v Speaker 1>emotions to the door. Sometimes it's good to step away

361
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:07.599
<v Speaker 1>from the charts. Don't look at them. I've done that.

362
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.160
<v Speaker 1>It's good for your mental health. Right, step away, go

363
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>out and do something. Don't look at the prices if

364
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, like, ah, okay, we're on the way down.

365
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't plan to look at the prices at all.

366
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.039
<v Speaker 1>For this weekend. I'm going to go out and do things.

367
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sharing this in full transparency because experience is a

368
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.039
<v Speaker 1>great teacher, and you know I've learned these things and

369
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:26.759
