Oh so wow! Ah here we go what is going on moon gang. We are here to talk about some crypto currencies, i'm very very excited because we're getting some finally, a bounce in all this action. So with all that being said, let me switch this over because we have quite a bit to cover and i don't want to miss out on a second of it, so finally we're getting a little bit of that bounce overall right now, let me bring up this Chart for you, you can actually like hang on. Let's see the four you can see: btc ethereum avalanche solana.
All of them are finally starting to turn around. That is good. That is good. I hope you're starting to see more green in your crypto account.
You're, probably also seeing it in the stock accounts too we're actually seeing some nice screen movement over there, but we'll talk more about that on the power hour show just so you know, but right now. Finally, turning around - and this is kind of going to tie back to the title of it of it - don't miss out on it, don't miss out right now you have a low risk scenario. Your supports are super super close. So if you are wrong, if i'm wrong, if we're wrong, you can cut it for a baby baby loss, but if you're right, the upside is considerable.
So in this particular video i do want to talk about what in the world is happening with bitcoin kind of a little bit more of a historic look over the past year, we're going to be talking a little bit about ethereum cardano nfts, the metaverse some opportunity And just the overall growth - and i guess, sharing some of my thoughts of what will be coming in 2022, but before we hop into all that, let me just give you this quick view of things are calming down like i said we're. Finally, seeing that bend around in the middle of last night, things were a little bit questionable, but yes, buyers are finally, finally stepping in - and you know who one of those buyers is michael saylor, the ceo and founder of microstrategy ticker symbol, mstr microstrategy has purchased an Additional 1 914 bitcoins for about 94 million in cash at an average price of 49 000 per bitcoin. As of december 29th, we total almost 125 000 bitcoins acquired for 3.75 billion, with a b at an average price of 30 000.. That's insane right now with bitcoin trading.
Let's just call it 50. 000.. That's a 66 increase folks, a 66 increase on 3.75 billion, as in when bitcoin gets back up to 60k, which i feel absurdly confident that it will a hundred percent gain on a multi-billion dollar bet. That's crazy, but honestly it gets one step.
Crazier microstrategy now owns one out of every 170 bitcoin that will ever exist, referring to the 21 million cap, one out of every 171. If bitcoin does what many many people will predict, it will do over the next couple years next couple decades, there's a very real shot that through microstrategy that michael saylor becomes, the richest person on the planet. Time will tell, but it doesn't stop there. The micro strategy michael sailor, not the only whale in the game shout out to venture found the third largest bitcoin whale wallet, took a pause at buying bitcoin when the price went above 50k. Briefly in the past week and finally, added 120, more btc today at 47 000 for a total of 5.6 mil, so i'm just bringing this to your attention and yeah right now. Obviously, these examples are specific to bitcoin, but we are seeing across the crypto sector that highly respected people known and unknown, but still whales are they're buying back in right now, actively they bought in 120. On this one we know michael saylor is buying. People who, like i said, are respected and are throwing serious money now, just because you're respected and you have serious money.
Does that mean you're gon na be right, not necessarily, but when you see multiple people doing it, it kind of makes you wonder if maybe they have a better idea of something going on that perhaps retails such as you and myself don't really know about, but clearly The whales are stepping back in buying this dip. Now, with all of it, it really has been a crazy year. Um crypto, i would argue, officially went mainstream. So if you take a look at, let's just use bitcoin as kind of a um, i guess like a caveat for all of this, when we started off 2021 right here, we were around roughly 20 25.
000. 26. 000. 28 000 right in there quickly ran up to 65 came down and everyone dead dead dead.
What are you doing? Why would you be in bitcoin lots of, i guess, excitement exuberance fomo, going on in the first portion of the year all the way up till april. Then it came all the way down to 29 bounced off of that, and once again we ripped made a new all-time high, and now here we are once again - and i strongly believe all we're simply doing is making a higher low things are going to base. And i think we see another push if you're looking for some charts and explanations and details of like the technicals we've been covering that in the shows, kind of showing some logarithmic charts, all the flows, all that stuff, but more important than just this chart that we're Seeing here think about, what's going on uh, we had el salvador, that is now the official currency. We see mass adoption not only from the mainstream, but also big companies such as tesla apple, discover the list goes on and on we see all these.
What i consider to be very fun, exciting stories of doe dripping she ripping elon's tweets. Clearly the world of nfts met like i can honestly go on and on and on uh. We now have gamestop building out their nft marketplace, which i'm very excited about. We have the world of amc getting into nfts there's so much going on right now, and all that boils down to at its most inherent level, is a crazy amount of opportunity.
Serious opportunity, i'm not just talking about making a couple thousand dollars, i'm talking about a properly positioned bet in the right sector. At the right time. Many people are making generational wealth and all the differences of doing it is doing your research. I mean we. I strongly believe we're right now being presented with an opportunity where, if you work and do your research and you dive into it and just a couple hours, every single day, learning and learning and learning and seeing what's going on in the world that could potentially be. What's that's the barrier between you and potentially immense wealth right now with the expansion of technology? I am saying this with my entire heart and i truly truly believe it if you're putting in the effort learning what you need to learn and learning enough to know where to look, and then you place the bet, hopefully at the appropriate, opportune time. This is one of those things that if you work a little bit, let's say let's say over the next year, you spend one year of your life, fully dedicating yourself to the markets, whether it's the stock market, the futures market, the crypto market, the expansive technology, the Increase in the interconnectedness of everyone on the globe, things will get even faster, even more volatile and that just screams opportunity. I don't think, there's anything wrong whatsoever of truly dedicating your free time.
Your efforts to one year of work and that could lead to such an immense, immense turnaround, not even necessarily a turnaround, but a progression forward in your own. Hopefully, life, and particularly your own financial life, uh crazy opportunity coming into 2022. Yes, 2021 was nuts in the stocks, market and crypto market. I think by the time we fast forward one year.
I think it's going to be even more wild. I truly believe that i think a year from now we'll be here i'll, be in my basement. We'll be talking - and i think we're going to talk about be like our flashback like even this year's is nuts, but i think it's going to be like wow like we thought. 2021 was something like.
I think we're all just going to be at a point where we just got off a roller coaster. When we're taking a break from new year's in 2022 to 2023, i think we'd be like wow um. That was an absolutely wild ride, all right so moving on. I don't think it's going to stop and neither does kevin o'leary.
Neither does elon musk. Neither does michael saylor neither does a whole list of people, but here's a recent quote from o'leary. If banks aren't looking at crypto they'll get left behind. I think that's a pretty obvious one, but what's interesting about it is a lot of people are that bearish still bitcoin died 45 times in 2021, as media still eager to post btc obituaries, and we see that a lot in.
I think things that have that retail public support, crypto, bitcoin, nfts, metaverse, amc gme, all these things, where there's retail really supporting it like really really showing their outward enthusiasm and passion. Media loves to bag on it. So, according to this, cryptocurrency was declared dead as many as 45 times in 2021, which is at least three times more than 2020. But just so you know it was more extreme in 2017 that your bitcoin had died 124 times, but the one thing we know about all these times, calling bitcoin then the one thing we know about everyone calling amc dead, which is up over 1200 on the year. Calling gme dead, which is up over 700 of the year, the one thing that these all have in common is that they were absolutely wrong now, yes, i know i'm like particularly focusing a little bit more on bitcoin, but honestly, i don't think it's just that, like I think there's crazy opportunity, especially in the top 10 15 21s, that we're seeing on cmc here so, for example, another one that i'm heavily invested in is ethereum ethereum whales, dumping ethereum as price slides below 4k yeah. Maybe one whale did, but i am here to vehemently argue that they were very, very wrong um. I think if we bring up this four hour chart similar to btc, we are seeing there's a big bounce, but don't forget - and i could make a standalone video on this if there's some interest but aetherium, i think by june of 2022, we'll officially have the merge Of that beacon chain back into the main chain and we're gon na have the next progression in the ethereum roadmap and i think that's gon na prompt a lot of excitement. We also see a massive expanse in all the level 2, whether it's the the rollups optimistic zk.
Any of those like we've been talking a little bit about that with loop ring, but i could do a video of why i think it's going to happen. Probably before june, and that just relates to the difficulty bomb but eth crazy, crazy opportunity and yes bitcoin, i i saw recently that people were just saying it's a peaceful revolution. I, like that kind of people taking back power but ethereum to me. I just envisioned it in a certain way is like the future of technology.
It's just this inherent platform that i think so many other crazy things are going to be built on and what's nice about. It is these things that are going to be built on. I think many governments, or just say regulators and stuff of that nature - they're not going to be able to get their grubby little hands in it over the past year. I've learned so much that, especially through the stock market that, unfortunately, it seems like we can't be that reliant on our regulators, possibly regulating it seems like when there's governments in control, given enough time they somehow mess it up and that's what i think so cool about.
Crypto, in its most general sense, is the decentralization and the power being distributed among everyone. You don't have people who maybe got to a position of power that might not have the best interest. It's like when there's community involvement making the decisions the community is going to do best. What's for the community, not the person at the top just lining their pockets being bought off doing insider training. I think crypto is a nice step away from that and i honestly think there's currently a big big appetite for it now, among other ones. Obviously ethereum. We talked about solana avalanche, one, that i don't talk about too much, but i still i'm in and it's just because the price has been taken a hit lately, but i'm really hoping that it bounces back in 2022 is cardano. Just wanted to share a little bit of commentary from the founder charles hoskinson.
My goal for the second half of 2022 is to figure out how to put all these pieces together to get an end to end micro finance transaction on cardano. A formal, open source project structure is going to be formed kind of like hyper ledger to linux, so kind of interesting, uh, obviously kind of himself acknowledging that yeah ada has been hit a little bit, but i'm still holding it and the things i've learned and kind Of some of the earliest people i followed about cardano. I remember back in the day where the argument was: are they even going to get above 10 cents 25 cents? There were people already making videos on cardano that early and they're like never going gon na? Do it it's a dead project, don't worry about it like sell it now and yeah. It's run up to three and right now it's trading around like 140ish, so it's coming down, but even at that point imagine getting in sub 10, even sitting at a dollar 40.
Now, like you're still crushing it absolutely crushing it so, hopefully, cardano has a great year and i think a lot of these strong utility coins - ethereum solana, avalanche cardano uh, maybe throw algorand in there. I think they can all have a very interesting 2022 now. My reasoning for that is just because it was most recently reported that for the first time ever, the search term nft finally passed crypto on google trends, and i think so many more things are actually going to get spun off of the world of nft's metaverse and Then you just have to look at some of the underlying technology, but i just want to share a couple of these headlines from the mass singer to reese. Witherspoon hollywood is moving into nfts.
Three insiders rehear reveal how to the tech can drive marketing a new ip in 2022. billionaire ray dalio said he wants to meet an nft just to experience what it's like, and really to put some numbers on it. Just so you know it's not a couple. People in this past week, the nft sales hit 319 million that was in the past week.
This stuff is crazy. Now for 2022, my prediction for nfts is going to be more of you're, going to see a strong push into the world of, let's say a little bit more of that utility. A lot of people have been talking about whether it's representing the copyright to a um. Let's say a song like you are the song owner or if it's going to get into the world of real estate. I think a lot of the quote-unquote utility you're going to see a big expanse in that in the coming year. So yeah, i still think there's going to be a a big popular push for just hey. Do you own that almost more of a social status, but i think that's like the next natural evolution and i do think that it's actually going to go hand in hand with the metaverse. I think this is really cool.
Metaverse property mogul touts tenfold appreciation in virtual real estate portfolio. It's all about the location, the ceo of tokens.com. In a usa today report estimated his metaverse portfolio is valued at 10 times more than his purchase price. The metaverse group last month bought virtual land for a then record, 2.43 million.
The deal comes after the metaverse group last month made a then record 2.43 million purchase of parcels in the decentraland metaverse platform. Now i myself own no virtual real estate. I don't i don't, but i want to so, if you're listening to this and you know something about it and you're like hey, this is where you should buy. This is how you should figure out what you want to buy.
Please reach out to me. I think that would be an awesome video. We could do it live. I could record it, we could cut it up, but i think that would be cool to somehow get actually involved in this world of virtual real estate.
I think we're going to see a quick appreciation and monetize renting the land in space very soon. So the metaverse group ceo said that the central land property purchase, which was in the fashion district, provides an early foothold and upscale commercial opportunities in the metaverse. We think the fashion district purchase is like buying on fifth ave back in the 1800s or the creation of rodeo drive. Now those are very, very lofty quotes.
I'm not saying that they're wrong. Obviously, that's just those would have been some of the best real estate purchases. Literally in the known to man so we'll see if it pans out that way, but there are some crazy purchases going through. We know that someone just wanted to be a neighbor next to snoop dogg in the world of the metaverse, and it was just under half a million dollars, so people are ponying up quite a bit of cash now very quickly.
Just some other stories. I want to share with you robin hood is launching a beta version of its crypto wall in january. So a big thing that i've learned about crypto is: if you're talking about crypto, you want to be the legitimate owner. So, as of now things like robinhood things like weeble, if you own it, it's a very fancy iou, you don't actually have that crypto.
You can't send it out of there. If you want to now having a wallet will obviously change that and they're looking to roll out the beta version, so in a certain sense, that's good! But if you know anything about me, i'm in no way supportive of robin hood. I think they treat their clientele like shits in the world of stocks and options, so i have no reason to think that they would treat their clientele in the world of crypto any differently as a business move. I think this is smart, because obviously people still have robin hood, so i wanted to share it. I thought it was my duty to share it, but i already have wallets that i'm happy with, and i have no reason to ever ever return to robin hood. Elon musk guesses, who bitcoin's mysterious creator, satoshi nakamoto, might be and the guest is nick sabo. If you don't know anything about nick sabo, he is a very, very, very smart person. He was speaking at the bitcoin conference in miami this year.
I believe that was in june a very interesting talk, just kind of about the history of money, so i recommend checking that out. You can find it on youtube. He elon's reasoning for this. He seems to be one more responsible for the ideas behind bitcoin than anyone else.
Potentially does elon knows something that we don't know. Has he just spoken to him like? Is that the world of rich people, they just kind of know, what's up potentially very, very potentially unsure but kind of an interesting thing to put out there, and i just want to wrap this up very quickly with talking about how big crypto actually got this year. So i know i throw out numbers of nft sales this last week over 300 million everyone's making nfts everyone's getting into the world of metaverse, everyone's seemingly making money off of these random all coins, but from the bigger picture. Yes, we know, big corporations are accepting it.
We know that countries are literally moving over to it when their own fiat currency ends up failing, but just to give you some metrics so right here level, two beat this is kind of an interesting l2 beat. You can see the total amount of money going on and l2. This is the things that basically ethereum is what's under the hood, but ethereum. Yes, it does have well.
This is a little bit different, but yeah they have some gas fees, they have not the best transactions they're about 15 per second. So you have this under the hood strong engine, but tend to soup it up and make it better. People are doing level two and that's exactly when we're talking about things. I've talked about mata, quite a bit uh.
You can see loopering on the list here, especially if you're at all interested in gamestop and there's optimistic, there's zk. That's not really the content matter. For this particular stream, that's some higher level like math and technology argument of what's going on there, but overall, look at this spike, i'm on the one year right now, just l2s themselves have blown up and it doesn't stop there. If you go to d5 lama, you can see the amount of money from 2020 to 2021, not really much like.
It was growth. For sure i mean it got up to 21 billion, but it went from 21 billion to 250.. So this this growth is just nuts. So d5, this is all your generic d5 projects, but just the amount of money going into these things here i could show you some of these on the bottom. It's just absolutely insane. The the growth is crazy and i just don't think it's stopping. I don't see how it could stop. Could it be one of those things where it takes a little bit of a healthy breather or depending on some, if we think of bitcoin as the overall equivalent to the s p 500? If that has to take a breather, because the having cycle yeah that's possible, do i even think is that likely? Well, no, not really, because this is all being paired up with the exact same time that we have one of the worst rates of inflation ever in the u.s, and people are trying to retain their own value.
I don't think, there's anything wrong with that. If you are being told day over day that your money is losing value, you see everything going up, except for your pay. You're like okay, well, the government they're going to print money willy-nilly, so that's bullshit, i'm trying to save some of my own. I think this adoption that we're seeing and there's some interesting graphs out there that you can find on twitter and google of how quickly crypto, specifically bitcoin, is being adopted.
I think it's a runaway trade. I truly do so. That's why i wanted to share my thoughts. I really don't want people to miss out on this opportunity, i'm in no way in the world of actively trading crypto i buy it.
I wait for dips, especially when the rsi goes below 30 on the four hour of the daily chart, especially the ones that i like in the top 10 15 20. there's not often times that i'm dealing with crypto outside of that i kind of wait till they're. The equivalent to like a blue chip, a large cap, and if i like it, i like the project when it's like being traded on discount, i buy it and then i sit and i wait. I sit and i wait.
I sit and i wait and that's my overall crypto play. That is what i have for you on whatever episode. This is crypto course, i don't know episode sure, whatever whatever number you want it to be, but i appreciate you thank you and let's turn it over to some questions. We have some extra time um and i wanted to give this over to you.
We could talk if you have questions. If you have suggestions, if you want to, let me know your favorite crypto i previously i made a video yesterday. I recommend to check it out it's a picture of a guy in a suit with an eight mask and there's money everywhere. What i want to do in january uh, we made a video about how much a thousand dollars would have turned into whether you were in amc, jamie bitcoin, doge, solano, all those.
So i think it'd be fun for us to do a kind of a year-long video in the making. So in january 10 different projects i'll buy a thousand of each and i will sit on it. I promise you for an entire year at minimum. I will ride it out to january 1st of 2023 and right now on the list. I have sand. Mana satima, crow, gala, h-bar, ripple, floki luna spell ftm um, that's what 11. So what if you have any of your own suggestions, let me know and then we'll kind of whittle it down to 10 and i will be in there and we'll see what a thousand dollars would have turned into if we all just held it. So we're gon na pick 10 different ones, and i hope that at least one of them takes off um, preferably on the cheaper side.
Because, for example, if i buy like a thousand dollars worth of avalanche, i'm not going to have that much avalanche. But also a lot of these like if you're suggesting, doge or sheep, i already have it. So i'm looking for 10 that i don't yet have, because if i already have it, i probably already have over a thousand dollars in it uh i'm already in algo. I'm not too keen on safe moon, safe moon, um from the research.
I've done not the most happy with it, but i'm more than willing to do more research in it, and maybe someone can like switch my mind, i'm already in hex, i'm way more in hex than a thousand enj. Okay, that's a solid nft play for sure. I'm not in link yet so link is something xlm. I feel like they've kind of like lost their way a little bit like.
I don't even know if they know what the point of their project is anymore, um, but anyway, link chain link for sure, we'll write that down i'm already loaded up on matic maddox has been great and i'm gon na hold it. I mean, i guess we could only i'm already in wonderland. I guess we could make matic like another one just because i think that could crush in the year i mean what's crazy, about polygon like what's insane about polygon is depending on how you define popularity. You could argue that it's becoming more popular than ethereum, i mean has more.
It's more tokens are being based off of polygon, opposed to ethereum uh, there's more transactions, there's more, i believe smart contract executions and a lot of it. It's just obviously polygons layer, two, so ethereum's gon na inherently be under the hood, but yeah people they want it to be faster and they don't wan na spend as much money. I don't think it's like the craziest thing that it played out that way. Now, when ethereum goes through ethereum 2.0, could it in a certain way like take away some of the popularity of these other l2s? I i could see that, but to my understanding, they're going to work in conjunction, so even if the base the engine's faster.
Well, you still use the layer 2 because it's more of like the multiple off of that, and also just this road map, it's not like. We merged the beacon chain into the main one, and it's done i mean the big thing from there, like of where ethereum really sees a speed improvement, not necessarily a fee improvement, but a speed improvement is when they do sharding and yeah. I i see that some people are calling for 2022, but speaking to some of my, i guess: connections that have far more of a computer science understanding and a cryptology understanding than i do 2022 for the technology that they need to. I guess create, and some of these technology issues that need to overcome that's quite a bit like sharing, is by no means a simple computer science problem. It's not a simple math problem uh, it's just not simple at all, so to say that we're gon na have it within the next 12 months when we don't even have the beacon chain. I don't know i i don't know if i would be like confident that we're going to get sharding in 2022.. We might - i don't want to be like i'm in a theorem. I think it'd be awesome if it doesn't but um i started here.
We go. That's funny all right. What other questions do we have? I have a question for you. Would you guys find it like, or i feel like a decent amount of this group is actually invested in ethereum and they like ethereum? Would it be helpful if i made a quick five-minute video of like what in the world is ethereum 2.0, i'm not saying necessarily getting hardcore into the tech, but just answering basic questions of when is the merge gon na happen? Do you have to do anything? Are you gon na have like duplicate coins like just answering your basic questions or, if you guys already feel like up to date on it, but i could make definitely make a very quick video of like here's.
What you need to know about eth 2.0 type of a vibe, someone suggested it yesterday, and i was thinking about it last night and i was like okay, that's actually probably a really good one, okay umbrella. We could definitely just do an umbrella type of understanding for sure for sure, for sure, please do a quick video on sharding alexandra. Your east is locked, you staked it up, you're already in that beacon chain. I like it, didn't you start on the stair stepper? I don't know you'd have to bring that up now, not everyone in the crypto stream knows my history of that make a five minute.
Video complaining about eth gas fees - oh easily, could do that. I can make that whatever length you want it to be. It could be five hours, it could be five days if you want me to complain about eath gas fees. What is speaking, oh so, the beaking chain.
So - and i guess i could cover this in the video, but just to give you like a super high level overview ethereum. The road map right now is to switch the consensus model of proof of work to proof of stake um. So, instead of it being mind which is currently making it in, like inherently inflationary, when we switch over to proof of stake, it'll definitely be deflationary which is going to help with the price of your ether, but right now, there's actually already the beacon chain. That is proof of stake and there's doing some development over there and hopefully - and the reasoning for this will relate to what's referred to as a difficulty bomb. But hopefully, by june of this upcoming year, 2022, most likely earlier they're going to merge the beacon chain into the ethereum like official chain and then it'll officially go from proof of work to proof of stake. So it'll just have a different consensus model which will make it deflationary, and we definitely want that and it's also a more secure consensus model. There's other things to talk about with that, for example, there's potentially going to be a flood of liquidity, because right now people who have staked it or decided to validate on east 2.0, it's locked up. You can't really do anything about it until the merge goes through.
It's like locked up, so there could be a flood of liquidity paired up with a buy. The rumor sell the news type of event, so you might see some high volatility in ethereum right around the time of this merge, but i'm not really too worried about it. It's just something worthwhile to call out and for everyone to be aware of, but i myself have staked almost all of my ethereum all but like one of my ethereum is currently staked for east 2.0 because you earn an apy and i know i don't want to Get rid of my ethereum anyway, look into ckb nervous network and report back happy new ckb nervous, ckb nervous network got it. Where are you staking? I have mine on coinbase.
Have you ever heard of the roast pork and provolone sandwich from denix? I have i've. Had it it's amazing, that's a big philly thing so shout out to anyone eating sammy's in philly at dinix uh. So should you stake your eth? I mean that's up to you. I mean it's locked up like once you stake it.
You cannot get it out until eth 2.0 goes live until we get to that point in the ethereum roadmap um, i would say step zero was the beacon chain step? One is going to be the two um. Excuse me the proof of stake migration and then step three would be the sharding with a d. Oh man. Some of these are hilarious.
Ckb is on voyager. Okay i'll have to check that out. I'll, definitely check that out. I think if robin hood adds d5 features for crypto, they could do well, especially if they follow coinmiss and make it simple.
I also think, if they add staking or rewards they could do well, possibly, but also there's already ones out there for like it's very easy to go over with voyager, oh speaking, of which just very quickly. Let me uh, if you want any of the crazy things going on in crypto right now, download voyager, it's pinned to the top of chat download it put in that code. Mat 21 and you'll get an extra 25 worth of bitcoin as soon as you trade. A hundred dollars worth of any crypto they have staking on there and almost all minus say because i know i'm not gon na sell, so i might as well like earn that extra percentage. Kickback uh this sharding thing is getting out of hand. I like it. I like it a lot all right folks, oh wait. Cardano ecosystem is like east 2017., look at cardano, alts, pbx and charlie.
Oh yeah, i mean i mean cardano. I like it. I think the recent price action over whatever since september september. It got over three bucks, but now it some people are bummed out, but i think if you with any of these, especially the well-established ones, if you take a second to step back, see what's going on, look at the big picture, i mean that's what you have To do this is not a get rich, quick scheme.
This is a you understand where technology and where culture is going, you make a bet, and you come back quite a bit later, the out of all the people who i've met, who have acquired immense wealth off the crypto sphere. It's all taken time. They got in early and they sat and they sat and they sat and they did nothing. They just sat there and waited for things to truly explode, uh thoughts on robin hood, showing crypto gif when type shiba inu, but doesn't sh store anything for other crypto.
Sorry, if you have already gone over this, i actually didn't know about that, so i definitely haven't covered it like. I don't use robinhood right now and i haven't come across this showing crypto guests when types but doesn't so are you feeling confident? Is that basically a suggestion that yes, robin hood will be supportive of shiba inu? I think it's going that way. I i would honestly i'm already i'm already surprised that they haven't gone that way. Um.
It would have probably really helped one of its quarters: hey matt. You mentioned investing an hour investing an hour to learn on the market. Can you give some advice on the best way to start yeah i mean you can start with free youtube videos, uh, there's books, there's great courses on udemy, there's very well respected traders and crypto people who have their own course that you could buy for like not That much money, the uh i have found him like - i guess my own trading career - that the amount of knowledge and insight people are willing to put into like a 20 book that you can most likely find for free as like a pdf version somewhere, it's crazy. It's absolutely crazy.
I've bought books about like algorithmic trading, that cost me 10 bucks and the algorithms themselves have made me tens of thousands of dollars. I'm like this is a 10 book and the algorithm was there. I just had to write it myself, it's more of how curious are you? How driven are you to do it because, like you're gon na pull on one thread - and it's gon na lead you to here, which is gon na lead you to here, and it's just gon na like spider web out? So it's all just based on your own curiosity, it's just you just got to get going with it once you get started and if you're active and kind of like truly passionate about it, i mean there's endless amounts of information. What else do we have coinbase gives you crypto to learn their site? Yes, that's a good good place to start like just to get a basic understanding of what crypto is or isn't all right. Well, i appreciate you hey thank you for hanging out on this crypto stream. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I will catch you in a couple minutes, uh, actually, 20 minutes for the power hour stream. It looks like the stonk market pulled a nice u-turn to the upside, so things are looking pretty green right now i will catch you in, like i said, 20 minutes, um hey! If you haven't already, it helps me out immensely if you could drop a like button on your way out and don't forget to hit that subscribe. Button join up with the moon gang.
