My hot pepper, uh hot peppers attention attention the stream is starting. What's going on moon gang, what's going on kryptonians we're here to talk about life and the particular aspect of life that we'll be talking about it's going to be related to crypto. I have some fun stories we're going to be getting into some of the most recent updates that impact the entire crypto sphere, we're going to be talking about apecoin and hex that are ripping right now. I have some other stories about doge and then a little bit of nft metaverse, esque type things and throughout.

It also will be sharing my opinions on where i see both the equities and the crypto market going in the short term. But if you don't want to stay around for that, my answer is down like like that way. That's that's! I i just saved you, however long this video is maybe like 30 minutes or something i just save you that much time. That's that's if you're like.

What's that guy who's always super fashionable, and i really want to know maybe his thoughts on the markets. Even though he's not a financial advisor, i wonder where he thinks the market's going next might that way? So if that's all, you came for that's your answer, you don't have to hang out anymore, but on your way out, please hit the like button, please from the bottom of my heart, destroy that like button descr, destroy that subscribe button - and i appreciate your time now For those of you who want to stick around and have a little bit of fun in the sun, let's get into it. Let's get into it. Bada bing bada bitcoin getting a little bit of a bounce off of 37.6 000 a little bit of a relief bounce, because it's been kind of brutal lately you're, seeing quite a bit of green in the cryptosphere now in an intraday basis.

It's a little bit interesting. Obviously, a high correlation between the spy, bitcoin and ethereum. That's because these two are related and that's because these two are related and by the transitive property of relatedness, especially for those of you out there in alabama. You know all about relations uh, they're, gon na look the same.

The other reason. This is a completely side story that i still think is important. The reason facebook's getting its nuts kicked in right now is because there was a fake earnings report released. That was negative, but once again it was a fake earnings report, but right before it happened, someone loaded up on puts uh.

It's a super soft situation, as you can tell, it happened right at 1 pm once again a fake report. It was a bearish fake report, but nonetheless it's kind of bleeding off anyway kind of a whole ridiculous scenario. As i said in the morning stream, i'm against facebook, i don't think that it's going to do well, it's currently down five percent, and i would be willing to bet that it sells off even more after we get its official earnings and then the one that's reporting Tomorrow morning is southwest, and i'm actually bullish on that. So just wanted to give you the quick like if you're in real time what the hell is going on with facebook, fake, fake, fake, fake earnings.

But someone still made millions off of it now to bring it back to crypto bitty bitty bitcoin, we're bouncing a little bit same shape in ethereum. Apecoin is ripping, apecoin is up 8.5 and hex is actually ripping too up 8.6. So we're going to be diving into both of those, but more so apecoin, just because i know people are interested in apecoin, so we'll be talking about that now overall for the cryptosphere not too much of a pivot in terms of market cap today, uh 1.78 trillion For all of it, but the interesting thing actually is apecoin, which now officially just cracked the top 30. apecoin moving its way up the ladder.

So that's! Congratulations. If you are in apecoin now, over the past week, the cryptosphere looking pretty red one of the few green ones is apecoin, but we also have cava. We also have hex, but mostly red and in the past 24 hours we're getting a little bit of that reversionary bounce a little bit of green. So that's some exciting stuff right.

There um, but i, like i said in the short term long term, i'm in absurdly bullish mindset on crypto in the short term, not feeling the best, not feeling the best in the slightest. I think some of these big tech earnings announcements that are coming out this week, they're going to fumble the ball, which will bring the spy down which will bring bitcoin down, which will bring the crypto sphere down and also for next week. Yes, we have more earnings, but we also have the fed and don't forget they're gon na be super hawkish hawkish in this particular scenario, means bearish for the markets, both equities and crypto. That's my reasoning.

I just think they've made serious policy error and the markets are about to really pay for that free ride. We had, since the rhona period of march that rip higher when they injected like a shitload of money into the entire system. I think we're about to pay a hefty hefty bill for that, but, as always, it's fun to see what's been going on, because it is a long-term game. I very much believe this is all a when in doubt zoom out, calm cool collected.

I think the serious money in crypto - yes, you can make a lot of money if you're an active trader, but that's more difficult. I think it's easy and if you want to be lazy, you just buy it and you sit and you sit and you sit and you sit and you sit and you just wait um and that's why? I think for most people, that's the appropriate avenue. Unless you have a lot of time to dedicate to honing your active training skills and consuming all the news as rapidly as you can uh, if you really want to dedicate yourself to it, that's where a lot of money is, but it's a difficult thing to pull Off, like any other skill set, you got to dedicate your 10 000 hours of effort, so anyway, i thought this was cool just because yesterday marked the anniversary of the last time we've ever heard from satoshi. Well, the very next day, 11 years ago, today, a bitcoin developer decided to visit the cia satoshi nokimoto was never seen again.

So the last correspondence we known of satoshi nokimoto was yesterday 11 years ago and then one day after there was a dev who went to the cia - and that was all she wrote interesting stuff. So, let's get into some of the big news that i still think is kind of showing why you should be bullish in the long term, on crypto world's first combined bitcoin gold exchange traded product listed in switzerland. For those of you who are like hey, i just want a safe haven investment. You might want to move to switzerland, because i think this is actually pretty cool.

The bit tree asset management, bold etp, will track a customized benchmark index comprising bitcoin and gold, which rebalances on a monthly basis. According to the comparative volatility of the two assets, whichever has been less volatile over the past 360 days will be given the higher waiting at launch. The waiting will be 18.5 bitcoin and 81.5 gold, so basically they're, saying: hey we're taking gold and what's really it's pseudonym, digital gold? Basically it's people who believe in both as being a safe haven. This is a pretty interesting asset for you to look at, especially if you're in switzerland riot blockchain to develop one gigawatt of bitcoin mining capacity in texas.

So this is a little bit of a quick follow-up from what we saw yesterday of fort worth being the first u.s government. That's like hey we're actually gon na mine uh, which i think is an interesting step forward, i'm very, very supportive of it, but another update in the world of mining. We actually have a couple updates, but overall, like without getting it too much into the nitty-gritty riot ticker symbol, riot um, commonly in the same discussion when you're talking about equities that relate to crypto riot mara, like this is a common one, which is why i wanted To share it with all of you, one of the largest one of the largest publicly traded bitcoin mining companies that has started the development of a large scale. One gigawatt expansion project in navarro, county texas, so another day, is here and another day that we're seeing there's more crypto adoption and particularly in the lone star state.

So if you're in texas and you like crypto well, you pick the right place to be another state. Maybe not the most stoked about mining new york state assembly passes ban on new btc mines that don't use green power. The bill will not be carried with support to the state senate for passing before a final sign off into the law by the governor. So here's the main things you need to know about this.

The new york state assembly passed a bill late on tuesday. That would place a two-year ban on all new proof-of-work, which is the consensus model of bitcoin and many of their cryptos mining facilities in the state that use a carbon-based fuel to power their operations. The bill would not only impose a two-year hold on the approval of new bitcoin mines, but the proposed moratorium would also prevent the renewal of permits issued to existing proof-of-work cryptocurrency miners using carbon source energy if they seek to increase the amount of electricity consumed. So just so, you know 95 voted in favor 52 against, so it passed the assembly we need to get through the senate.

This is just the old house of bill become a law type of a scenario. Then it goes to the governor, which is kind of the the king of the state. Now, obviously this is a. I see what they're doing.

I am never going to be against mining, but i am supportive of hey. I understand, there's an environmental impact. Let's try to be better to the environment because really, as far as i know, this is the only environment we get. It's not like.

Elon's already colonizing another planet for us, so i do understand. I'm like okay. Do i think that it's being overstated the negative impact of mining on the environment? Yes, is there still an impact? Also? Yes, so let's try to improve it, so i would want to get into more of like the nitty-gritty of what's actually happening here, but on the surface level. Okay: let's try to treat the planet a little bit better, but this concept of some place is trying to outright ban it.

100. Against that, i think, there's a reasonable, safe, smart, intelligent way to grow the world of mining, and do it in a way that, like doesn't completely destroy our planet. In fact, even when we have going on right now, we're actually seeing a lot of energy grids get stabilized from the current state of crypto mining, new anthony saramucci. I never know if i'm saying that night, but name right, but it's always fun to say, confirms that sky bridge wall for bitcoin 401k products to their employees.

This is following up with yesterday. We know both fidelity and particularly strategy will be allowing it. The crypto bear market 9.2 billion invested through 461 equity leasing, q1 of 2022. It's kind of funny everyone's like bear market bear market, bear market, bear market, bear market uh of just seeing how this is all lining up.

But yet the big money doesn't really seem to give a. They are just investing and investing uh and i just want to bring this up a couple. Other charts for all of you. People who care about data points, q1, 2022, venture capital activity in crypto set to outpace 2021.

So, yes, are things selling off a little bit? They are as depending on, if you're looking at that november high obviously, but it is really not deterring the big players uh. The bar was set pretty high in 2021, and now in 2282, uh looks like we're going to beat it. The first quarter of 2022 capital inflows from venture capitals were over 14.6 billion or around a 48 of all the capital investment by last year. So it's just jacking up more and more money is flowing into this world uh.

I don't know how big this is, but overall, what the tl dr version, just more money, more money from people who allegedly know what they're talking about blackrock crypto empowers users by offering financial inclusion to the unbanked it's kind of funny, because a couple years ago, every Bank was not going to touch crypto, particularly bitcoin, with a 10-foot poll, but now we're getting commentary like that and legitimate business updates like this blackrock, the world's largest asset manager, 10 trillion in assets under management, has launched a blockchain etf on more of the international scale. Brazil's senate approves bill regulating bitcoin and crypto, and now goes to vote for the chamber of deputies. You know, i know we have a house, but that that does not sound as cool as chamber of deputies. Whoever got to name this in brazil.

They knew what they were doing. We both have a boring-ass senate, but that it's just like chamber of deputies. I hope that they store all their secrets in the chamber of secrets. If brazil did not do that, if they're not putting all their top secret in the chamber of secrets, they like or someone needs to get fired, because they're very much missing out failure to launch no.

This is not about matthew mcconaughey. This is all about australia. Australia's first, three crypto etfs all miss launch day. I talked about this a little bit yesterday.

I just want to give you an update on where it's going uh. It looks like the brokers and the market makers are still holding up these bitcoin etfs in australia. Three cryptocurrency exchange traded et funds, uh, scheduled to launch on the cboe australia exchange were delayed due to checks still being undertaken. The launch of australia's first three bitcoin and ether etf, scheduled for wednesday, has been delayed as a result of further checks needing to be completed.

Uh and they said, standard checks prior to the commencement of trading are still being completed and a further update will be provided in the coming days. So we're basically just all waiting around down under you would think. An etf which invests in another etf would be easier to handle, but the broker will just be ensuring that they have all their ducks signed up before they go live. You know they're talking to us like they know about lining ducks up, but i really don't think they know much about it.

While this isn't an ideal start for etfs, it will be looked at as only a minor speed bump in an otherwise successful result for the crypto asset industry in australia. So is it getting running into a little bit of a snag? Yes, but i think we will surmount this most likely in the coming training days sound the alarm. The second country that has officially accepted bitcoin as its legal tender has been announced. Central african republic adopts bitcoin as the legal tender.

El salvador was numero uno central african republic is numero doso. This is some exciting stuff, and it is now checking off the box of one of my crypto predictions for 2022 that another country would be accepting and honestly, i think, there's going to be a couple more because just some countries, their local currency, their fiat currency, is Basically about to go defunct, so i don't think this is going to be the last one on the year. A statement from the president's office on wednesday april 27 confirms the passage and signing of the necessary legislation. The legislation established a legal and regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and made bitcoin legal tender alongside the existing cfa franc.

There's a common narrative that sub-saharan african countries are often one step behind what is comes to adopting the new technology. This time we can actually say that our country is one step ahead. So that's a very exciting announcement. Congratulations to everyone in the central african republic, because that's cool news they're following the way of el salvador and just to once again reiterate.

I don't think this is going to be the last country we hear of for the calendar year of 2022, but once again, bitcoin is clearly going mainstream. Now this isn't necessarily mainstream, but it's making people some serious money. We got ta talk about apecoin. In fact, lately bring up its chart.

Apecoin looks like it's about to rip faces off now, obviously, from my core audience, i do think it's important to note that apecoin is not in any way related to amc or gme. This is related to the board ape yacht club um and that's just one of the most popular it's the most popular nft project and the reason this one is currently getting so much excitement. In fact, it actually leaped over mana sand and axi is because they're about to roll out with their own metaverse and land is about to be bought, and it's very much assumed that apecoin will be the de facto currency that you're gon na need to pull this Off so simply there's a huge spike in demand, apecoin surged on wednesday morning, and it looks like it might rip anymore. This comes a week after the board ape yacht club creator.

Yuga labs announced it would be launching its other side metaverse on saturday other side coming out saturday. Since then, apecoin the standard currency required in other side has become the biggest metaverse token by market capitalization, leapfrogging decentralized, mana, sandboxes sand and axi infinities axs. That's a very, very exciting, so eight coin i got in between 13 50 and 14. I forget my exact average.

It's a smaller position, but hey i'll ride this rocket. I hope it shoots up. Why would i not let's just see if there's we know that they were able to pull it off with board ape yacht club in terms of their nft project? I hope they could pull off their metaverse project. I hope that this makes me stupidly.

Rich time will tell now, if i were you, if you're getting it now, you should understand that it is chasing like your risk. Point is kind of far away you're risking pretty much 1370, maybe even 11.. So that's a large percentage risk, but hey i'm, not your mom, do whatever you want with your money. I just want you to be aware that, from a technical perspective, you are definitely chasing now earlier this week.

Last week we saw some excitement in doge, especially as it related to elon and twitter, and will doge be now an official payment form in twitter and there's just overall a spike in enthusiasm. Well now we saw that huge spike and then it was very quickly given back and doge, currently sitting at 14 cents, but did run all the way up to 17 cents. Well, since then, dogecoin tara falls steepest among major cryptos as long traders lose 280 million. So we're seeing that, like it was fun for a bit there, but now that we're seeing a continuation and things starting to sell off even dogenterro themselves are really not being able to avoid it.

Let's talk a little bit about nfts and then we'll get over to your questions. Nifty news, openc acquires gem and chess.com makes a move into nfts open seas. Nft empire just got bigger with its latest acquisition, while virtual influencer rey creates an nft collection to advance girls. Education and online chess players can now turn memorable matches into nfts with chess.com kind of an interesting development.

There. Gem lets traders buy nfts across various collections and multiple marketplaces in a single transaction that saves on gases right now, especially when you're dealing with ethereum based nfts. Smart contracts, one of the biggest pains in the ass, is gas fee. So obviously, when you have a particular service that saves on gas fees, it's understandable why that would be desirable for now open c is adding popular gem features such as its collection floor, place, sweeping tool and rarity based rankings to its platform and now to also talk About chess.com wire, a fiat to crypto and payment infrastructure, firm partnered up with the onlinechesscommunitychest.com to launch a new nft marketplace called treasure chest.

The platform allows users to turn a chess game played on treasure.chess.com into a treasure. Nft users can purchase cell and mint their collection. Their treasures on a layer 2 blockchain polygon, which is layer 2 to ethereum, so hey uh. I understand that there's a lot of digital moments that are being sold and i understand that there could be supply and demand just kind of natural market influences and hey.

There's a big chess community out there and i can understand back in the day if you owned some bobby fish or chess match, i could see how that could go for a pretty penny, so just wanted to quickly share that with all of you, especially if you're A chess enthusiast, and last but not least, let's talk about the beautiful country, the bahamas, while crypto companies are choosing the bahamas to set up shop. Basically, the regulations are dope. Ftx cited friendlier regulations and looser ronin 19 restrictions. As reasons for its move from hong kong to the bahamas, the island nation has published pushed the pace for the development of sophisticated digital asset regulatory framework, as it eyes large crypto businesses and large crypto businesses are definitely following so a couple days ago, we saw that Sam from ftx posted a picture that he was there and we also got some commentary um from not only him but the president.

I believe, uh excuse me the prime minister of bahamas. Last year, the crypto derivatives marketplace made the decision to relocate from hong kong to bluer waters, citing friendlier regulations and no mandatory roan and quarantine upon arrival, coupled with its draconian pandemic measures. The special administrative regions about and subsequent failure to maintain its democratic government has led international companies to reconsider their future in hong kong jurisdictions, including singapore and bahamas, appear sanguine joining ftx's bakemen fried at the ceremony. The bohemian prime minister, philip davis, said the exchange left positive footstrips throughout the country.

Today, they continue to make positive impressions with the groundbreaking of their new headquarters, so that came from the prime minister and basically the wrap-up on this is that the bahamas super super supportive of crypto and because of that, and also most likely how easy it is to Get to from the us there's a lot of crypto businesses moving their headquarters there, the island nation's four-year vision, to transform the country into a leaning digital asset hub in the caribbean and position itself as a global leader in the progressive regulation of crypto businesses. You know it's actually getting to the point that they're saying hey like we could actually help out in terms of with the sec and updating regulation as need be just thought. This was kind of interesting and hey, maybe if you're not really tied down by much and you're running your own crypto business might want to look at the bahamas. Now, let's look at that.

Well, that's sad to look at just because it's very very red! So, let's see what's going on in the overall market, to clarify, if you care about a short-term prediction, my short-term prediction is down. I think this pump that we saw starting at 10, 30. Honestly, i'm even surprised that it's lasting until now. I really really am surprised.

I think we're going to see a test and a break of 419, whether today, tomorrow facebook i'm bearish on, i don't think they're going to do well with their earnings. I am bullish on southwest, but overall i think just we are fighting some very serious headwinds with the federal reserve. I it's honestly that simple, not bullish on markets, whether equities or crypto in the short term long term still bullish, but that doesn't mean that short term everything's as jolly as you would want it to be, and now with all that being said, i would love to Turn it over to you for some of your questions. If you haven't already what's on my face, do you guys see something on my face right now? Oh, is that the duck coin, all right, we're gon na, have to get that figured out.

We're definitely gon na. Have to get that figured out okay, uh! Well, if you haven't already click on that duck, but also hit the like button um, i have some time for some questions would love to see. What's going on with all of you, fine folks, today, uh what facebook was? My view on the earnings report - uh uh, my bet - would be bearish, but i'm not particularly betting on it. I'm betting against the overall market.

What's going on with amc uh, it's up, two percent gme is up one percent, but right now it's just there's no volume. There's really not much excitement you're on the main channel, again yeah yeah. I decided to do this just because so many people yesterday said hey. I like that, and i was like well i wonder if they'll come back like do they actually like it or are they just being nice, but seeing that we're pretty much at a thousand right now, uh we're actually probably considering yeah we're over a thousand right now.

Uh, considering that we're having that many people check this out uh, we might keep it this way and then just put the uploaded content on crypto core or something like that. You know i had a wild idea, um and i wanted i actually very much care about your opinion on this. What's everyone's concept of maybe, instead of having a distinct, crypto stream? What if we just make the morning stream longer, like i'm picturing, like maybe a three hour stream from like nine to twelve so in the morning, maybe something like i do a setup for the market. We watch the market open.

Maybe we have some like callers call in and we chat. Maybe we do an interview and then maybe we do a whole crypto like segment within the main show and then maybe from there. We just talk about like whatever's going on so like, for example. Right now would be like the johnny depp case, and we could all watch that.

So i think, there's like a big demand of people who, like you just liked hanging out for longer - and i was like well - is the morning - show too short: let's make it longer, let's give the people what they want, uh. So just an idea: just just an idea: can we medicate it meditate? Well, we can meditate and medicate. We can do whatever we want. Why don't you do power hour? Uh? There wasn't really a like big demand for it.

There was more demand for like vod videos. I'm just trying to give the people what they want. Just go 12 hours a day. You still have amc.

I've literally never even heard of amc, who is she b n d is ripping beyond me. It's up 26 how's ost. Looking what the hell is this? Well! That's up a lot as to technology group. Never never heard of her.

Do you own eth? Yes, that, depending on the price of ethan, depending on the price of bitcoin, they go back and forth of, as, like my number one holding facebook earnings was leaked and it's tanking that was its fake earnings. That was not real uh. That was very quickly that it was not legitimate. Obviously, it still had a pretty negative impact, but it was not its legitimate earnings uh.

What else uh how's either doing beter green. Do i own any xrp? No, they make it too tough to get create a soap opera. I would love to create a soap opera if aider gets above 5 30. I think that is saying.

Okay, it might actually move again. What's my opinion on nfts, i think nfts like as in the technology and non-fungible token will be massively wildly popular. I think the way we think about nfts is a bubble right now. This concept of like influencers just shilling their projects.

I think that's a bubble. That's gon na pop, but i think nfts themselves will stay around uh just because it's important technology, i think we're going to see a rise with it in the world of music for copyright. I think we're going to see it for the world of real estate. I think we're going to see in medical records and government records and documents i think nfts are going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

I think it's just going to get on to a new iteration. I also think nfts are going to become wildly popular in the world of gaming uh. Does your totally real girlfriend own crypto? If, yes, which she owns aetherium? What else do we have? What else do we have? What do you think of elon sweet mentioning true social versus twitter and tick tock, and he also added tweets. He also added tweets to that first tweet, he added tweets.

I saw that he tweeted it, but i was curious. Why, like it really did confuse me uh? Here's an example of twitter's left-wing bias. We have to take the context into consideration. Twitter's interpretation of the context is affected by their left-wing bias.

I would need to see an example of that. That's pretty funny uh. What did he follow up under this? True social terrible name exists because twitter censored free speech should be called trumpet. Instead, that's actually really funny should be called.

It should be called trumpet. That's that's a great point. Do i own a man thong? I do not, but that's a great question. Thomas.

Don't forget a merman that is an uprising uh. I heard you got a background in coding and i really want to start to code. Where should i begin, i think you should get a python course off udemy for like 10 bucks. I think that's a good place to start python udemy like 10 or 12.

Bucks just go to the most like highly rated ones, and i think that's a good place to start. If you don't want to spend any money, you could find them on youtube, but i find that those tutorial series are like not as high of a quality but there's still some really good ones out there, but have you ever worn a marathon i've? Never i've! Never even worn one and that's not because i'm against them i've just never had the opportunity in my life to wear a man thong, but great questions once again uh. What else do we have? Is there something like a call option in crypto? Yes, you could get calls you could get puts, you could go long and you could go short and there's even futures uh for most of the main cryptos everything you could do for an equity. You could pretty much now do for all the main cryptos you just have to get on the right brokerage, which is why i'm happy to be sponsored by ftx end of day spy predictions.

I think i'm surprised it's still up. Uh, maybe i'll have to roll. My prediction into tomorrow, but we keep, we keep soaking up, demand at 416 and if that doesn't hold, i think we're pushing down to 410. time to cut losses in prague.

I don't check on prague because i'm just like i'm gon na be in it for the long term uh i'm still holding. Where can you short crypto? You could do it on ftx uh. You could do it on kucoin um there's another one. That starts with a p like famix or something like that, something along those lines you'll be in miami soon.

So man thong incoming you never know. When is coach corey's going to start coaching soccer again i got to figure that out. That's a great question: apecoin gone wild uh, i'm loving that apecoins ripping looking good. How many of you are in apecoin uh out of my own curiosity, do i see spy going sub 400 this year? I do yes, uh, not necessarily this month.

Well, that's not that hard of a prediction, because we don't have many days left, but, yes, i think at some point within 2022, the s p 500 will be sub 400.. All right. We have some apecoin holders in here dope, dope, dope, dopa d dope dope dope got that mapes worst attraction. I've been to worst attraction.

Oh, i don't know i really like zoos, but i've been to some like crappy zoos, i'm like yeah. This sucks just trying to think worse attraction. I like roller coasters, but if i start going backwards or upside down, i vomit. So i end up just like riding them.

Until i end up vomiting uh, you think it's worth paying money for those computer programming data science. Cyber security boot camps yeah, if they're cheap, like i mean, there's a lot of great ones out there for sub 50. I think those are fine. I don't know if i would ever spend serious money, because a lot of that information you could find for free on rumble youtube.

Do you have any nfts yeah? I probably have like 15-ish nfts. The lack of shiny hair product has a direct correlation with the market. Mat ever since you stopped using your pomade, the market has sucked. If you can code, is it worth it to buy already developed algos i mean if the algos have a proven track record.

Yeah sure why not? We should ride the spy all the way down. I mean that's what i'm going to do, but you got to do what you want to do all right. That's what i have for you. I appreciate it on your way out.

It would be awesome if you could help me out by destroying that like button and don't forget to join up with the gang the moon gang by destroying that subscribe button. I appreciate all of you i'll catch you in the next. Video have a beautiful day, and i hope you make some money.
