[0:03:33] NatNat @Natnatx007: Alright, guys. So I just saw... Yeah. We got you, Dave. Dave needs ten minutes. So let's get this started, I guess. Cool. How are you?
[0:03:48] NatNat @Natnatx007: I think we lost Cool. Cool is probably driving. Or is it me? Can you guys hear me?
[0:03:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: Loud and clear.
[0:03:55] NatNat @Natnatx007: Alright. Sounds good. Alright, Landy. How are you?
[0:03:59] Landy @CryptoLandy: Doing well. Doing well. Just, monitoring the markets as I typically do and seeing some interesting news as is noted in the title here. So still unsure of exactly what's going on there that's real and what's not. So interested to get into that topic.
[0:04:21] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yeah. So, Amai, it's been a very interesting day. It was very interesting to see the markets react to that particular segment there. Sunny, how are you?
[0:04:32] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Today is a great day.
[0:04:38] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Been a long time coming for those who have been faithful Tronix.
[0:04:44] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yes. I saw that massive pump.
[0:04:48] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Yep. Yep. Looks like we're getting our turn. It was amazing to see XRP breakout and do what it's been doing this past week. Absolutely insane. Think... Man, I've... It's here. The phone calls are coming in. Everybody's like, oh, you're always talking about these things. Can, you know, can I come and pick your brain? So it's like, man, it's tough to focus and, like, help people download Coinbase when you're, like, this far deep in it.
[0:05:21] Kool @koolcryptovc: But Have you have you have guys seen the the the the the trend now on Twitter? Like, it's... A lot of big accounts are shorting XRP with large, large...
[0:05:33] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Big, big
[0:05:33] Kool @koolcryptovc: shorts, man. 500 k, 800 k. And they posted it on on Twitter, man. It's very weird. Very weird. Weird.
[0:05:42] Sunny D @dylN0chill: There's a lot of people with a lot of money that can do a lot of things now. This is a little... I don't know. Things are different. Like, people need... People say that every single cycle. I'm not trying to get my hopes up too much. Like, I think we still have a long ways to go, but, yeah, this whole ride to wherever we're going is gonna be up and down, and, I'm just trying to maintain my cool right now. And who other can do that better than mister Cool himself? How do you how do you... So... Okay. So what's your interpretation of of this move in in people shorting it now?
[0:06:22] Kool @koolcryptovc: No. It's just it's just... It is... I don't know, man. It's just a trend. People like to... I don't know. It's so weird because if they they could easily get blown out, like, easily. There's... Isn't that that news coming out a couple of days from now? I think job numbers or inflation number or something. We don't know. I mean, like like I said, I I don't know. It's weird. People are very, strange, man, doing weird stuff. But what what... I don't know. I mean, I guess, you could short it, but why are you making it public? Why are post... Posting it on Twitter? That... That's that's the only issue I have with that.
[0:06:53] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Yeah. What was it? Just before as Tron hit their thirties... Their their actual all time high, which was, like, 31¢. We were looking at the shorts everywhere. BitMEX had a 100% shorts on it. Many, many people just got liquidated shorting TRX. Don't recommend doing that right now. But, yeah, now they'd like... I don't know. I guess people are just trying to... They think it's a top, and they just pounce on it. We got KOLs. Ta da. Like, KOLs are... They're gonna have a weird reputation after this bull run.
[0:07:28] NatNat @Natnatx007: I agree 100%. And it's so weird that people are trying to time the top so soon, but you know what? I'm surprised. Not A lot... Last cycle, they did the exact same thing, and a lot of these shorts got liquidated. Whether it was a 500,000 position or a $2,000,000 position, whatever the position was, they definitely got liquidated. And it's so people don't learn. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. Right? We're... We keep making the same mistakes over and over. I think Landy said it best when when he's he's... He he mentioned people lose more money in the bull run than they do in the bear run. Right? And we're going to see more and more of that. And that can be on both sides. Right? Trying to call the top too early or trying to get in on the dips or trying to long the dips too soon. Right? It's... This this bull run is gonna be very interesting, but like we mentioned yesterday, right, everyone does have to be careful. They'll try to call the tops, they'll try to call the bottoms. Just... And don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Right? We see the same issues every single cycle.
[0:08:28] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. It's crazy. To to honest with you guys, I think the best strategy really, man, is buy and hold, man. Because look look at XRP stuff. Of course, it takes a long time, but, man, like, the best strategy is still buy and hold. Now you can't you can't beat that strategy. Yes. As long as you you are in the right projects, just
[0:08:48] Sunny D @dylN0chill: buy and
[0:08:49] Kool @koolcryptovc: hold because we've seen all these... I mean, I think it said XRP erased erased three years of downstream within a week or within days. That's fucking crazy. So I just think that this dude is buying a whole... Find something you'd like, buying a whole for the long term and just relax. If you do... If you don't... If you can't handle the... All the madness, ups and downs.
[0:09:12] NatNat @Natnatx007: I 100% agree, Kool. Like, I'm looking at my portfolio, and that's all I did. Obviously, I had my DCA levels. Remember a few months back, we were talking about what's what's the best strategy? And we mentioned the DCA ing starting with a start up position and then adding more as you go. That strategy has been working wonders for me. I don't trade all coins at all. I just buy, get into my position. I look at my DCA levels, and I hold. Right? I did that for HBAR. And HBAR is up, I believe, almost 600% now. Right? I did that with XRP. I told you I've been holding XRP for such a long time that some of us were getting frustrated the fact that it was stuck at 55¢. Right? And same thing with Algo, same thing with Cardano, with all of these coins that people kinda forgot. A lot of us, what we did, we just reverted to that old boring strategy of buying and holding, and right now we're reaping some great rewards.
[0:10:02] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Yeah. And that's what I'm telling people right now is they're they're... As I'm onboarding them, it's like, look, you're... I told... Like, I I don't like to say I told you so, but at these points, it's like, if you're somebody who is a crypto fan and you posted, you know, all through all through everything that we just went through the last... You know, since 2021, and folks are just getting in now. Like, I do prompt them, like, do not buy... Don't bet your rent or your mortgage right now.
[0:10:38] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yo. It's crazy to say that. There was a video going viral, man. I went viral. I watched it, like, an hour, two hours ago. And the XRP guy, I don't know. He was on TikTok, man. He said he mortgaged his house, man. He took... Well, mortgaged out from his home to go buy XRP. No joke. No. Are these videos, like, viral and no... Whatever. Right? TikTok is not... But, yeah, man, I saw a video. I was like, holy shit. This is actually real. So, I mean, maybe that's what people are say... They're thinking it might be... We're we're due for a correction for sure. I mean, I already know that, but people are taking chances, man. You're mortgaging your own to go buy XRP. That's crazy, man. Crazy.
[0:11:19] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yeah. To buy XRP as... After it has ran, like, hundreds of percentage. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think that's, like, the right thing to do in my opinion, but everyone's risk level is different.
[0:11:34] Sunny D @dylN0chill: But, yeah, I'll tell you, the the environment that we're going into, Thanksgiving dinner at Sunny Day's house was nuts. The... Like, everybody's feeling the bullishness. Everybody saw what happened during the elections. They got together on Thanksgiving holidays. You know? Hopefully, if your family is tolerant and they can handle different perspectives, it it was very difficult to not be bullish, at least at my Thanksgiving dinner table despite, if you were unhappy with the election results or not. We saw a similar thing happen back in 2016, 2017 when when Trump was, you know, first elected. It was the same timeline. You know, we had a wild on... Like, couldn't even believe that he won, and then what did we just do? Then it was, Thanksgiving rolled out, and everybody was in their feelings, and then that's when the twenty seventeen bull run really was, like, starting to get some steam. And then by Christmas, things were going absolutely wild. Like, we're in a very similar situation, but this time, we have a very crypto friendly administration and, you know, different houses of government. Like, it's it's, like, it's hard not to... Because at the same time, I'm telling them, you know, like, don't don't bet more than you can afford to lose. But at the same time, it's like, I don't know. Is this is this is this mass adoption? Are are we experiencing this right now? Like, you don't wanna call that, but it's like you also don't want people just to be left in the dust if if that is the case. It's it's it's tough to give. I... That's why it's, not financial advice. But I always tell people, first thing you gotta do, learn how to secure your wallets, get get familiar with those first because, like like we just said earlier, people lose a lot of money in the bull run too, and it's through going too fast, feeling FOMO, buying into stuff, not knowing... Not punching in your addresses correctly, like, revert to the basics. Go slow. You know, like, it... That's really the best thing you could possibly do because when you start FOMO ing, you start moving money from one wallet to another, you're trying out something new. Before you know it, you you punch the wrong information in and boom, 20 grand's gone. Like, gotta you be very, very, very careful.
[0:14:01] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yeah. I 100% agree with that, Sunny. I think the fastest way to lose money is to try to make money fast. Go ahead. Cool.
[0:14:08] Kool @koolcryptovc: I don't I don't know. Where where is David Lender? Are they... I mean, are they here or they're not here? I'm kinda confused, but they're very quiet, man. They they never they never this quiet. I was here. What's going on?
[0:14:19] Landy @CryptoLandy: What's up, Cole? I'm I'm I'm hanging around. I'm just kinda sorting through some of the news because, you know, there's there's still a little bit of things that are unclear, specifically surrounding the North Korea, South Korea, issues. And it was such a blip on the radar in terms of the market, and the crypto market response in terms of the buying of cryptocurrencies from South Korea has been very, very heavy. Like, they went very, very heavy in on buying, whatever the lower term time frame dips were from earlier this morning after news broke. So I'm kinda sorting through because there's a lot of, well, a lot of information out there, that is maybe not accurate. Let's put it that way. And I think I've kind of dug to the... Kinda meat of the issues and kind of what's real and what's not. That's what I was doing in the background over here. Because I do
[0:15:17] Kool @koolcryptovc: When when you when you free, please please tell us, man. I saw a a lot of stuff on, on on my timeline about South Korea. I'm like, yo. If you have
[0:15:24] Dave @DCBK2LA: the info, please tell us, bro. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. I think this proves one very, very adamant fact is the fact that Landy goes to my timeline for all his information. And, therefore, when I'm not talking, Landy has absolutely nothing to say because he doesn't get... He gets his information from me. Oh, I think it was Landy. I think it was Landy that said this yesterday. Me. Me. Me. Me.
[0:16:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: Out of my pockets today, so I had to clean everything up. You know what I mean? I had to put everything in in... You know, if it's falling out the left pocket, the right pocket. Shout out to Sun Pump. I love y'all. Andrew Tate, you are not coming up on here, bro. Get out of here, you could tell me fucking some dumbass shit. Get get out of here, bro. I don't need to this nonsense. Bro, you better stop it right now. He knows I'm removing him, so he goes down. Yo. They got tricks, these motherfuckers. Yeah, man. I was too busy. Yo. Sunny d. I was too busy patting my pockets, bro. That TRX, man, is looking good. I, you know, I love getting paid in sun. Y'all saw my post. Right? When you get paid... When when you do... Like, when you you literally do... Like, if... Like, what... If you do something that you love, you never work a day in your life. That's cheesy ass saying. There is nothing more true than that shit. And I threw a little added extra on top, and I'm like, and if you get paid in the currency that you love too, that's headed to the fucking sun. Yeah. That's even better too. So it's a good
[0:16:59] Kool @koolcryptovc: I I do have a question for you. What what... What's the... Do do do you feel do you feel a a different way getting paid in USDC or getting paid in crypto?
[0:17:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. No. No. I like getting paid in crypto that then ultimately goes up, up, up, up, up, up and goes... Like, you know how, like, back in the... You know, when, like, the football players were like, oh, man. I wanna get... I wanna take my I wanna take my payment in Bitcoin. And people were like, what? Bitcoin? And those motherfuckers are sitting pretty right now. Yeah. Pay me in SUN token at two cents, right, where now, like, my thousand bucks is literally $1,500 a week and a half later. I'm good. Let that shit keep going. Like, I'm I'm not gonna complain. And now, like, when you're part of, like, PumpStar's programs or some other incentives, right, like, this is what I'm saying. Cool. Me, you, and Nat talked about this. Right? Where we where we negotiate... Anytime, like, I bring a deal to the table and I sit down with y'all, I'm like, yo. Are we good with, like, to... Like, good token allocation? We're like, yeah. Half and half. Right? Like, let's go half half. Because we wanna be invested in a cycle like this. You want to... Essentially, if you're gonna do work for somebody, like, in... And you actually believe in their in their project. Right? Like, we had the BIPPERB guys on here. Love the BIPPERB guys. I believe in BIPPERB, and, like, in in in their perp decks, especially if they got fucking lazy Andy pants over here, consulting over here. Boy, genius. Yeah. Of course. I definitely wanna get paid in those tokens. You know what I'm saying? So at the end of the day, yeah, like like, they're investing in you, and, like, it might seem initially that, oh, man. Like, I I... Can you just pay me a USDT or blah blah blah? But if you're gonna spend time, this is why you gotta vet projects for the ones that you work for, the ones that you obviously put your name behind, and this is why reputation is everything. And this is why I genuinely believe that ATC stands above every fucking... Everybody else out here, man. I really, really do because we don't just bring on like, oh, like, how much? Cool. Great. Nah. Like, we understand what these people are doing, and, yeah, I feel like reputation is everything out here. But, yeah, man, you hear this change in my pockets? Cool. I told you. There will be signs, bro. Nat, I ordered my golden horse toilet today. I'm gonna be driving down the street with that shit. There's a motor on that thing and everything. I'm gonna be like,. It goes... And it actually fucking... When you flush, shit's gonna be crazy. Told I you it's gonna be signed.
[0:19:07] Kool @koolcryptovc: Bro, all all the... All this cash you're making, man. You you you you you you need to, you know, be put in a bank, you know, in a money market accounts, you know, phone IRA, phone one k.
[0:19:19] Dave @DCBK2LA: You wanna know the crazy part, bro? Like, a lot of people don't know this and definitely don't do this. Right? But, like, when you have conviction in something... In 2021, when I saw the writing on the wall, bro, I literally cashed out my whole four zero one k. Like, lit... Literally, I I took the penalty. I took everything. I cashed out my entire four zero one k to, like, literally go, like, full time crypto because I was like, wow. I really... Like, this is something I believe. Now granted, that smoked the shit out of me in 2022 when I thought, oh, I'm just gonna DCA and dollar cost average until I just kept sawing Bitcoin fall off a cliff further and further and further. And I had never been through a cycle before, but that was my tuition. Right? But, ultimately, those bets that I never let go of, like, are now, like, you know, starting to now, like, come back to life. So... Yeah, man. And shout out to everybody that's out there making money today. Like, congrats. Like, this is the shit that we work for. I love... Obviously, yesterday, Matt was talking about Hedera and everybody, XRP gains and the whole nine yards. And... Yeah, man. Like, look. We're not up we're not up here being like, oh, we're celebrating great, but it's also, like... It's also good to take note that, like, hey. Like, there... There's plays out here. And, yo, cool. The one thing I did... And that. The one thing I did realize also yesterday, the fucking cabal chat was on fire last night at 11:00, and I'm literally being like, I don't have enough bags. And and I'm looking at a lot of these plays and cool. It's like we were talking about yesterday is like, yo, these OG tokens are literally starting to take off. And I mean, with with real volume real volume and full disclosure, like, I'm gonna mention ZIL, y'all y'all y'all... You'll hear me. Obviously, like, you guys know Nat owns Hedera. Like, we we own the majority of the shit that we're gonna talk about up here. Right? So take that. Like, you know, that's full disclosure. But, ultimately, like, I'm looking at Zilliqa, and I'm just like, what the fuck? $2,300,000,000 in volume at 3¢. If you remember 2021, this thing went to a quarter, like, with haste, bro. Like, quick quick. And I'm like, where where are these other plays? I wake up this morning, and I'm looking at my TRX bag, and TRX is up 50%. And I'm just like, holy cow. So now I'm I'm looking for these plays that are out there, and I think we should really... A a good focus for today, and we'll go over the news and stuff, but I really would love today to be kind of, like, a focus on where do we find these gems, how are we finding these gems, and, like, what's realistic for us to believe? Because... And and I'll open it up to... I'll open the floor with this question, guys. Right? When you look at the volumes that are literally coming in right now, this is not just institutions. This is not just retail. This is the combination of everything because this is to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. Cool. Am I crazy, or is that your take as well? Because I'm looking at some of these, and I'm like, where is this money coming from? It's obscene.
[0:21:51] Kool @koolcryptovc: Bro, you're not crazy, man. You're not crazy. If you... Know, I I love tracking volumes because it kinda tells me what what what market's doing. Man, bro, I've never... I'll tell you never. It's been it's been four years to have this kind of inflow money, man. It's crazy, guys. For real. I saw XRP added, what, a 100,000,000,000 within, what, seven to two weeks. Chainlink added, like, what, like, like, 5 to 10,000,000,000 within, what, seven to two weeks? And the volume from Chainlink came from Australia. I think, bro, I don't even know what the fuck is going on, man. The Australia, there was the... I... The ex... I think it was Hotcoin exchange. They had 4,000,000,000 in in volume. Then we we look
[0:22:43] Kool @koolcryptovc: at Coinbase, it was, 180,000,000.
[0:22:45] Kool @koolcryptovc: Binance, like, 300,000,000. So I'm like, why? What what... What's what's happening to Australia? Why is Australians forming inside Chainlink? When you look at XRP, that's Asia, man. That's all Asia. That's South Korea. That's China. That's the Thai. That's Singapore. I I I don't know. I mean, it's not it's not it's not from The US, man. If you if you look at the volume, some volume came came to XRP from from client base. Man, most of it is all Asia. So I don't... I I don't know what... What's going on with with this surge of volume. It's not coming down. This volume has stayed high since Trump has won. I think I think I think I think. It it... It's whales, man. They're always ahead of the game. I remember Miller. Right? That... That's when most successful investors in in in in world history, whatever. He was the one that said... I'm I'm thinking it's... I don't wanna mix his name. I think it was him. Last cycle, before, you know, we had this crazy run, he said, oh, bet on... Bitcoin is the fastest... A faster horse in the race. And you saw it happen by Bitcoin going from, like like, what, 12 k to freaking over 60. Just like a month and a half ago, a month and a half ago, I would I would... Yo. This was when Bitcoin was, like, maybe, like, 40 something, maybe 50. He said, oh, you know, I'm bullish gold. I'm bullish Bitcoin. I'm bullish properties. I'm bullish hard assets. And next you know, Bitcoin's almost a 100 k. So I I feel like these guys, man, they kinda know what what... What's going on way way ahead of time because it doesn't make any sense. How would he know that the markets will run like this back to back, right, four years apart? So this volume is real, man. I I I... It's... I agree with you. It's it's a lot of big money bags, but it's... Our market is is is international. So getting 4,000,000,004 billion in volume bought for one project for Chainlink by itself, then getting hunt... 50,000,000,000 volume for for for for XRP. Those...
[0:24:53] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: I mean, this is just
[0:24:54] Kool @koolcryptovc: the beginning. I mean, because these things are... We just also did the HCF, Grayscale applied for HCF for Solana. I... You know, they just... And and and one more thing, there's there's no no... Another massive big VC, whatever investor on on the Web two side. This is, like, a month... Two months ago. He... This was a direct quote. He said, buy crypto. And then he said, Bitcoin, buy crypto, buy more, and that was it. And this was when Solana was, like, maybe, like, a 190 or 200. So these guys know. They know what's coming, man. It's just the beginning, guys.
[0:25:30] Kool @koolcryptovc: This is this is just the
[0:25:31] Kool @koolcryptovc: tip of the iceberg, man. It's crazy.
[0:25:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I'm getting twenty twenty one vibes right now, man. Like, with the amount of money, like... And I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground. Right? Because, like, there's so many plays out here. And, like, when you're dialed in, you know how it is. Right? And I'm not I'm not really trading. I'm just keeping my ear to the ground. Right? And I'm just seeing plays pop up here, pop up there. Right? So I'm just like, oh, shit. Like, you know, there's... There... If you're genuinely... If you're out here to make money, like, on... I don't wanna say quick, but if you're out here to, like, make money and, like, you need to be paying attention to the timeline, you need to be following the right people. Like, we tell you up here all the time because those people will literally tip you off. And I'll give you all examples in a few. But, yeah, Nat, go for it, please.
[0:26:12] NatNat @Natnatx007: One thing I wanted to add, guys, with regards to the OG coins, we have to give these project a little credit. Right? A lot of them, they were building. They were hardcore building, forming partnerships, forming forming massive collaborations, and getting their tech up to speed during the bear market. Right? We saw how Hedera, XRP, Algorand, and all these other coins came together to form DREC Alliance. Right? Along with... Even together. Right? But individually, they were doing some great things on their own as well. So that's part of it too. Right? And one thing that I that I always say, we have to... At least for me, right, in my own opinion, typically throughout time, the the tokens that are the least popular at the moment but are building massive things are usually the one that runs the hardest. Right? Like, we saw it in 2020, 2021, and now we're seeing it again. Right? So you can't sleep on these tokens. And I mentioned it before. Right? And that's part of the reason. Also, obviously, with the current election and the the political stance, that really did... Does help the volume. But the... To Cool's point, the volume is insane, and I did want to mention one thing with regards to HBAR. So this this is, like, breaking news. This is the first time this has ever happened. Right? Hedera has outpaced Solana in twenty four hour transaction volumes for the first time ever. Hedera's twenty four hour, transaction volume was 7,260,000,000, while Solana's was 7,040,000,000.
[0:27:53] Kool @koolcryptovc: Just just real just real quick. I know Dave mentioned, like, you know, finding projects. I'm not shitting this. I'm just kinda showing you the charts you wanna buy. So look look for old projects that look look in the pinned post. Look at the pinned post. That's q n c as quants. Look for projects that look like this. The chart looks like this. These are the OG projects that still kinda down four, five x down and have a lot of room to still run. So So this is an example of what you should look like. Just just take the impulse, and I think you... It it should make sense to you. That's it, guys.
[0:28:30] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yeah. Absolutely. Especially since they're... If they're building. Right? I know Q and T is one that's been building projects that look like that, that had been building, that has survived bear... The massive bear market that we just went through, those are definitely the ones you don't wanna sleep on.
[0:28:43] Kool @koolcryptovc: Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's one one thing. Another thing is if if the token you find is on the coin 50 list, that's another thing. Yes. Because QNT is on coin 50. Hbar is on coin 50. Algres on coin 50. The coin 50 list, I'll I'll get it for you guys real quick. But if you if you could... If you're looking for OG project, look for ones that have a chart that looks like this, then an additional bonus is if they are on on the coin... On the Coinbase Coinbase 50 list. So I'll get a list for you guys right now.
[0:29:14] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Good shit. And we get... And, honestly, I'd be good if we just did this all day, like, this whole this whole time because I got I got got a million that I'm looking at. I was just telling Sunny d in the DMs. I'm like, yo. Like, when you find gems, right, that have 6,700,000,000 in TVL with a market cap of $520,000,000 at a 5¢ fucking price point. I'm saying to myself, what's wrong here? The market... Some of these some of these markets are upside down. Right? And these are the opportunities that, like, don't try and make sense of it. This is where you have to capitalize. Right? Find and pick your entry points. But when you see shit like that... And I saw this all the time when I was looking at Pendle, I'm saying to myself, Pendle has over $2,000,000,000 in TVL, but yet they have a $400,000,000 mark cap. Don't make no sense. What... Yeah. A dollar to $6.50 later, you're chilling. Right? Buy and hold. So at the end of the day, like, there's a million of these out there, and I would love to kinda go down the list. But let me just say what's up to Samar. I know Brett came up. Let me just say what's up there, buddy. Samar, what's good, bro?
[0:30:19] Samara @thee_samara: Yeah. Jim, Jim, Dave. Jim, cool. Jim, that... Sorry we're coming late. Yeah. Shout out to you guys. Also, good news. I I just, like, stumbled on some h bar in a couple of wallets. So, yeah, I'm celebrating a little bit. So... Yeah. And, so just like it's... I I got this, like, I'm sure, like, years ago or so. I don't know. It's just been there with a couple of tokens in HBR. It was ridiculous. I just saw it, like, yesterday, so I'm kinda, like, glad about that. So, yeah, I'm probably right now. Yeah. I'm vibing.
[0:30:48] NatNat @Natnatx007: Let's go, Samara.
[0:30:50] Samara @thee_samara: So... Yeah. So... Yeah.
[0:30:52] Dave @DCBK2LA: Samara, I I need I need to hear you say Hidera. Hidera. He's initiated. That's it. We got him.
[0:31:01] NatNat @Natnatx007: He's part of this to be part of the the the Hereda crew. Welcome, Tamara.
[0:31:06] Samara @thee_samara: Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Shout out to guys. Yeah. Shout out to Andrew. Shout out to Brett. Shout out to Sunny d. Shout out to you guys.
[0:31:12] Dave @DCBK2LA: Appreciate you, Tamara. And, yo, shout out to everybody that's here. Wagme, I see you. Tommy, I see you. Verse, I see you. GP, Hinano, Evolve, Omi Wontrap, tripping monkey. LJ was good. Dev, Kev, d one and only. Riot, I see you. Buildo was good. Big o, me and Big o made a little bit of money money today. What up, Big twenty? Meta Beast, what's cracking? Daryl's here. Carrie's here. What is good, everybody? Vincent's here. What's up? Yo. The cock chair wants to come up. Listen. Comedy Hour, we gotta save a little bit. We're trying to be somewhat serious for the for the first little bit. So cup chair, you could just chill for a second. Alright? Like, just hang out. Like, you know, you just chill out for a little bit. LMD, what's good? I see you just now, babe. What's up? Yeah. Cup chair. Just just chill out for a few. Like, we we gotta get kinda serious. Let me say what's up to bread. Bread, what is good, my brother?
[0:32:05] Bread @_ToastMalone: GM. GM. Not a whole lot. Just another Tuesday getting back getting back to whatever the hell this week has to... Has in store for us. So it's... Yep. Been a been a crazy morning so far with the mob listing and with meme coins running. And do you see TRX is pumping right now too, which is
[0:32:25] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Man. I know.
[0:32:26] Bread @_ToastMalone: Thought of you, homie. Was like, oh, shit. I bet you Dave's, like, jumping around right now. Like... And, yeah, dude. So it's... I'm I'm interested to see what's gonna happen. Right? Because, know, everyone always says that, like, yeah, you know, like, oh, yep. We're... It's gonna be it's gonna be a movie this week in Miami because markets are pumping. Right? And so it's like, yeah. Uh-huh. Great. But what people don't see normally or they don't notice is the fact that, like, all these crypto degens overspend their shit when they're at conferences, and they end up selling tokens too. Right? I mean, like, they're not selling their moon bags, obviously. Right? You know? And they're not, like, full liquidating their ports so they can buy drinks in Miami. But, ultimately, like, enough of them together, each selling a few $100 each night for the shit, like, just... You know, I'm waiting for the the pullback, essentially, at the end of this week when everyone goes, oh, I shouldn't have spent that much in Miami. And, like, fuck. That hotel at Airbnb was, like, way more than I thought it was gonna be. I'm just gonna move some of my crypto. You know? And then we'll get a pullback. So, you know, it happens literally every single conference, every single year. And so I'm just, right now, setting things up to figure out, like, trying not to FOMO into, like, literally fucking everything. You know? Like, I I wish I could just, like, yeah, throw a chunk at everything right now. You know? But I can't. And so I'm kinda lining things up, trying to figure out exactly what I wanna buy at the end of the week.
[0:33:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. Appreciate you stopping by, Brett. Hang out, bro. Like, would love your commentary on a lot of shit we're gonna talk about. And speaking of CryptoDegen, shout out to my guy, NFT Verse, down there, who's... Who has his NFT art, the story of CryptoDegen being featured at Art Basel down at the Sagamore. So if y'all are down in Miami, go check my boy's workout. Verse, congrats, man. Very, very well deserved, my bro. Couldn't have happened to anybody better, man. So fully congrats, man. And, yeah, if you wanna... If have a link that you can maybe share Verse down in the comments, feel free, my bro. Yeah. Guys, like, there's, I mean, there's volumes. And, I mean, there is... I mean, I'm looking at some of this shit, and I'm just like, from where to where? And I was listening to Mario Space this morning. Right? And they were giving, like, oh, but it's... This volume is, like like, it's completely unfounded. These projects are completely blah blah blah. And I'm just like, the fuck are these guys talking about? Like like, I'm I'm genuinely DMing Mario, and I'm like, yo. Your dudes, like, are the... Either they're not in touch or in tune with the market here, but, like, the the the projects that are moving right now are these OG 2021 projects, right, that literally have been around for three, four fucking years that have still been building, that are still around, that have real tech. What do you... Like, no... Nothing's happening on on on VeChain or nothing's happening in in Zilliqa. And I'm just like, what the fuck are these guys? Zilliqa has 220,000,000 users. What are we saying out here?
[0:35:09] Kool @koolcryptovc: They they... It's it's crazy
[0:35:11] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: to say that, man.
[0:35:12] Kool @koolcryptovc: A lot a lot of guests on that show, they have no clue, man. A lot of them, they've already make make their money. They're not in the trenches, man. They're not in the trench like we are or with news. Know what's going on there all the time. Right? So a lot of them are Bitcoin only. They don't know. Right? So... But... So, guys, check check your list. Check everything post. Like, again, I I got the list for you guys. The top 50 projects. Just look for the charts that look that look like like when I posted earlier, and it it makes sense to you. So that's it, guys. Good luck.
[0:35:42] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I remember yesterday, we said VeChain. Right? Like, you guys remember me clearly saying VeChain yesterday.
[0:35:48] NatNat @Natnatx007: Absolutely, Dave. I actually... I vividly remember you saying that because I thought to myself, I was like, hold on. That... He's not wrong with that one. And I and I looked it up. You were right.
[0:35:55] Dave @DCBK2LA: You know where we're at. Right? I literally just got the alert about, like, four seconds right before I just unmuted my mic. It's over 7¢. It's almost at 7.5¢. We talked about it yesterday. Literally, twenty four hours ago yesterday, it was at 4¢. I'm not kidding you. Like, there are these opportunities there. Open up CoinGecko. Look through these. Everything that's up a 100, 200, 300%, forget about. Look at all the other ones that have your low price points that are these solid projects that have been here since fucking way back and look at, like, have they taken off yet? Are they not? Are they see... Look at the increases. I'll tell y'all just the increases in volume. Right? I saw one go from 200,000,000 that is now literally a 490,000,000 just on the twenty four hour chart. Right? There is over a billion and $0.5 in in in in just... And I'm talking about just HBAR trading on the exchanges and shit. Right? Not even, like, transaction volume, like, within the ecosystem, which, by the way, that was a crazy statistic. I don't know how we glossed over that, Matt. That is wild. You see how quickly the narratives can change out here. This is why when you hear us say, do not marry your bags. You understand? Right? This is what we say. If you're gonna buy and hold, buy and hold, have the conviction. But if you're gonna constantly go with the up and down and the ebb and flow of this market and you're gonna buy and sell your bag constantly, you're not gonna win in this market. I promise you that. Because everybody's two... You would have told somebody two weeks ago, everybody was on the Solana train. Because we were saying it's Solana, $2,000, and I still genuinely believe that. But now Solana's taking a backseat. XRP is like, yo. Chill. I'm jumping in the driver's seat right now. Like, you need to relax. HBAR and the rest of them, Algo, are now starting to come up and starting to see real money, and that's it. Like, it's like Solana's on pause for right now, and they're chilling. Tron's having its moment. Right? TRX. You're seeing Sun Pump. Like, all this shit is really just, like, having their moment. But it's a matter of, like, where now do we actually, like, put our dollars and cents? But I'm gonna pull up I'm gonna pull up a couple of new stories because I feel like there was some there was some crazy shit. This... I mean, there's some crazy shit that goes on every single day here. But, yeah, Nat, go for it, then we'll we'll jump into some new stories.
[0:37:58] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yeah. I'm gonna say this real quick before we went to the martial law. Because before you came you came in, Dave, Landy was up. He he was in the background researching, and he found some really good stuff with regards to the martial law news. But I wanted to say this real quick. With regards to old tokens that were around back then that haven't really taken off yet, and this is one that I have mentioned, granted, not financial advice. I do own this. I'm not saying go buy it right now because it could literally just flop. Anchor. Anchor was one of them that was popping back in the days, but I believe it hit, like, 21¢ at the high. And they have been building so much more since then. Like, I mentioned this before. They're working on their own AI blockchain that's built on Cosmo that hasn't been released yet. Right? They do have... It's called Neura. They have a separate Twitter page for it, but it had... It's not live yet. Right now, the price is just below 5¢. All time high with... Without the AI blockchain or anything was 21¢. And the chart looks similar to the chart that, Ku posted up at the top. Again, I'm not saying go buy this, not financial advice, do your own due diligence, all that good stuff.
[0:39:01] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. I I strongly advise you
[0:39:03] Kool @koolcryptovc: guys if you're interested, like, this this is not gonna make you a lot of money like a 100 x type stuff. Right? This is we're talking about five, 10 x range on your buys, man. It's almost certain because these these tokens pin pin to the top are the coin 50 list. To me, if you want if you wanna take a chance, that's where you could almost guarantee yourself a 5% x, man. And it's... They had the projects that Coinbase deemed investable for Americans, man. It's a big deal because a lot of institutions, when that time comes, I I guarantee you, they're already looking at this list. This this is basically a list for them to. This is a... The the the... A list... The the list for in on on Wall Street. So check these projects. Figure out which ones you wanna buy. Buy it and just hold it for when for when the... They they go much, much, much higher.
[0:39:59] Sunny D @dylN0chill: I got an interesting note on that, but you you... And this has been consistent throughout pretty much, you know, ever since, TRX launch became its main net. You'll notice that it's not involved in that. And, also, it's not listed on any exchanges that Americans can easily purchase it. And, so for everybody that's here, just take note in that as well. And, also, like, right now, if Americans don't have easy access to it yet, where where where would that go? What's gonna happen there?
[0:40:36] Dave @DCBK2LA: You wanna hear something you wanna hear something crazy, guys? It's so funny. It's so interesting you brought that up, Dee. When I came... When I moved back from California to New York, right, I lost all access to Mexi, KuCoin, BitMart. I mean, every one of, like, my other exchanges on my phone, I could not access. Even with some VPNs, I couldn't... I literally couldn't access. I start I start doing these sump pump space, and they're like, oh, you gotta go register for an HTX account. I'm thinking, good luck. Yeah. There's no fucking way. Go figure. HTX, no VPN necessary. Use it directly on my laptop. No issue whatsoever. Buy, sell, TRX. I mean, you name it. I have access to everything, bro, and zero notice, notification, none of that. So say what you will. People can say whatever the fuck they want about Justin Sun, and he's a scam. I don't... To be honest, like, that's in one ear and out the other. Like, good luck. Like, you're telling me that Mexi didn't, like, literally knock off, like, a million people, like, a a ton of whales that were trying to, like, withdraw when they were making shit tons of money on the leverage side, and they were preventing them from withdrawing. Like, give me a break. I heard one of those stories every day for, like, three weeks straight. So at the end of the day, do what works for you. Right? Just do it in increments. Right? Like, don't put big tons or or big sums of money either onto these exchanges. And if you do, get them off really quickly and into... Back into your wallets. But,
[0:42:10] Kool @koolcryptovc: He he EOB... Okay. I I I got you. I got you, bro.
[0:42:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yes, sir.
[0:42:14] Sunny D @dylN0chill: Yeah. I thought I thought as an American, I didn't... I wouldn't have access to that. That's interesting. And I just got booted from my Max account because I forgot to turn my VPN on.
[0:42:25] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I'm telling you, man. It's it's really it's really crazy. You know, under the other... And I gotta find this story also, but what's really interesting is when you really look at how far we've come... I saw this story yesterday where the New York... What was the division of... Oh my god. I forgot the acronym. But, obviously, like, New York has been the hardest, obviously, on crypto regulation leading up to now. Right? And when I saw... I read something recently where it was New York is now, like, considering... I don't know if it was an XRP thing or some sort of, like, an XRP stablecoin. I'm just like, is this for real? Like, look at how far we've genuinely come. Right? Like, I I mean, this is legit complete one eighty from where we were. But let's get into some of the news stories. And, Landy, I want you to kinda kick us off with this one. Like, Paul Atkins, I know that you and our boy, we're we're obviously going back and forth. What about the list? What about the list? Who's on the short list? Who's on the long list? So Paul Atkins, former SEC commissioner, is expected to replace Gary Gensler as SEC chair. His appointment could usher in clearer crypto regulation and collaborative approach for the industry. Overall, president-elect Donald Trump has reportedly selected former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins to replace Gensler. And it says here, he served from 2002 to 2008 under George w Bush. I actually don't even... Probably should know that because that's when I actually got into Wall Street. But for the life of me, I cannot remember, Paul. I can... Like, to save my life. But he's currently the CEO of Potomac Global Partners, a consultancy advising banks and crypto companies and financial trading firms. He's obviously recognized for his extensive regulatory experience, and his selection has been widely interpreted as a nod to Trump's campaign promise to support crypto innovation and provide clear regulatory guidelines. Landy, how do we feel about this? You liking this?
[0:44:11] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. And, I actually remember Paul Atkins because he stayed out of everybody's way, back then. He he was, he was very, very focused on assisting the market, not holding it back, and wasn't as adversarial. Now there was, you know, a few things here and there, but I think that he did a really good job in terms of, keeping everyone informed on what it was that he was gonna be doing, making sure that everybody understood what the regulatory guidelines were rather. And one of the cool things is is he, he cochaired the token alliance, which was a 2017 initiative that was trying to help form the SOP, standard operating procedures, best practices, stuff like that for digital assets, both on the issuance side and on the the trading side of things. And in particular, very pro CFTC handling a lot of this stuff in in adherence to what is under the purview of the CFTC versus the SEC. So his ethos is very crypto friendly in general in terms of the way that he approaches things. And then, you know, he's got the experience. He can navigate the system. He can kinda go back and and make a determination on what is absolute garbage that the SEC has been going after for no reason, and is unwarranted and unjusted... Unjust rather and and kind of straighten out that entire SEC system and that agency. And I think that, it kinda works really well with the Department of Government Efficiency and the goals for the Trump administration when it comes to crypto as business here in The United States. So I think this is a great pick.
[0:46:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: Who's the dude who's the dude with the weight loss? Am I mixing these two up? Atkins diet
[0:46:14] Landy @CryptoLandy: and all Atkins. It's not...
[0:46:15] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yeah. That's a different Atkins.
[0:46:17] Landy @CryptoLandy: Different Atkins. Yeah. Not doctor Atkins. Yeah. Although he's... Although this is a doctor Atkins, he is not a medical doctor.
[0:46:25] Dave @DCBK2LA: Maybe that's what it is. Maybe 2002, everyone was like, I'm going on the Atkins diet. And I was like, Atkins diet. Maybe I got I got those two mixed up. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know what Huddl was either, but whatever. It is what it is. And we're gonna get to the department of government efficiency, by the way, because I saw some crazy news, which I think is incredible, the, like, the initiative they're taking where they're like, yo. We're putting term limits on ourselves. Like, we're gonna disband this whole shit. After we're done investigating everybody, we're just banning this whole thing. But before we get there, cool. What do you... You like this Paul Atkins pick for SEC chair?
[0:46:54] Kool @koolcryptovc: I... So I I did see a report. I mean, this is from Jake Trevinski, I think. He's one of the the lawyers that, you know, in... That that works in crypto, and he's pretty influential. But he did tweet something that was interesting. He said he hasn't seen this this guy being crypto friendly. So he's like, I I don't... He doesn't understand where peep... People think he's crypto friendly. He's never mentioned crypto or or... I I don't get it. I'm like, I don't know why people say crypto friendly when he's actually never come out to say he's crypto friendly. I I don't get it. I... I'll I'll I'll find out three. It's from Jake Trubinski.
[0:47:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: I mean, look. If he was under George w Bush, think it's obviously a given too. Like, when you look at the Republican party, everything is about, like, less regulation. Right? Like, they're not like... They're... Like, the Republican Party is known for... Look. Like, stop putting more and more rules in place, like, when we just need to let the capitalist society just evolve the way it's naturally supposed to evolve. Right? Like, that's that's a that's a... That's literally a given, like, platform stance that all Republicans are running on. So I think it'd be safe to to to probably say that. But, yeah, I mean, I don't know. I'm not... I I am genuinely not educated enough to really understand, like like, what this is or or or what kind of effect it's gonna have. But, yeah, Nat, please.
[0:48:15] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yeah. I remember us touching on Paul Atkins last week, Thursday. Right? You correct me if I'm wrong, Landy, but we kinda touched because it was a rumor last week. They weren't sure. They didn't have the 100% approval yet. So we kinda dug in a little bit to Paul Atkins on Thursday. And, yeah, he did serve some time under the, Bush administration. But I I I think at the end of the day, what Trump is trying to do, he's trying to bring innovation back into the country. Right? That's how country grows. It... Well, one of the ways that a country that an economy can grow, can expand, and can become successful. Part of it has to do with innovation. And crypto is a huge part of innovation. Crypto AI technology, all of that stuff. So right now, under the current administration, all of that innovation, all of that money is being pushed away offshore to different countries, and they're benefiting off that. So what he's trying to do now is put people like Paul Acken in in case that are, down for less regulation and are... Or instead with the CFTC that can bring the innovation back into the country and help the economy. That's what I make of it.
[0:49:15] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. And what I really like is that, you know, he was one of the key figures for Token Alliance. I I actually was part of a group that sent up recommendations to the Lindy, what's
[0:49:26] Dave @DCBK2LA: what's Token Alliance? Can you just give us a quick background on what Token Alliance is, bro?
[0:49:29] Landy @CryptoLandy: So Token Alliance was a chamber of commerce, initiative that really just wanted to it was like a think tank, basically, that wanted to kind of pull together all of the different information surrounding cryptocurrencies and and kind of help develop guidelines for regulation. And they went around to, like, mining companies. They went around to tech companies. They went around to the major, exchanges, that were able to operate here in The United States at the time. And and, essentially, wanted the recommendations and then got involved at even state level and kind of getting information at a state level because different states had, different ways of viewing, you know, what what was controversial even then was, like, unregulated securities. Are these securities? Are they not? That debate's been going on for a long time. It's been been around since Bitcoin was tradable on some of the first exchanges here in The United States. So, you know, this was really just an initiative to kind of shape that regulatory policy, to get those guidelines in place and educate people in the regulatory agencies as well as, you know, you know, representatives at a state and and at a national level, so in congress, of what cryptocurrency was, what we need to be thinking about in terms of of guidelines and regulation moving forward. And, you know, they they did really good work, and and they they were really helpful in terms of pulling people together and creating working groups. And and then setting up the the actual rails for many crypto companies to communicate with the CFTC and the SEC. And then also bridge that gap with institutional investors so that everybody could be kind of in the same room having the same conversations and wrapping their heads around what the future could be in terms of regulatory policy here in The United States. I I I was a big fan of him. He was influential in kind of managing that particular think tank or working group, whatever you'd like to call it. So I'm I'm really happy he's in. That's that's a great pick.
[0:51:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: Good stuff, man. I appreciate it. Shout out. Yo, Jake, I see you down there, bro. I shot you a DM. Bro, just tell me where I need to send my money, my guy. Tell me where I need to send my money. I'm in. Like, count me in. My man's out here doing fucking crazy work. One of the smartest dudes in the Bitcoin space, bro. I'm... Yo. Bells coin, all of it, bro. Like, fucking emblem vault. If y'all don't know anything about this stuff, like, I'm telling y'all, like, go check this shit out. Just tell me where to send my money, Jake. That's all I wanna know, man. Oh, look who's coming to the fucking show a little bit late. Don't you dare let him up. Don't you dare let him up right now. Alpha gamer gets to chill out for a little bit. Okay? Alpha gamer, you're gonna know and you're gonna understand what it's like. You can't just show up. You gotta you gotta respond to the people that take care of you. If you can't make it like the rest of these ninnies, oh, it's too early. 6AM is too early on Thursday. I can't wake up. Yeah. But you're out at DJ until 04:00 in the fucking morning. You can't come and help a brother out and have a knowledgeable conversation on a sump pump space. Shout out to the TRX crew, by the way, 41 goddamn cents. V chain just hit 7.5¢. Let's go. Yeah. It's about to
[0:53:01] Sunny D @dylN0chill: hit 43¢. It's
[0:53:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: it's my My god. We're cooking with gas right now.
[0:53:08] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. TRx is breaking out, like, in a major way above its all time high, so it's looking good on the weekly and monthly.
[0:53:15] Dave @DCBK2LA: And by the way, that that that one that I was talking about before with a $605,600,000,000 dollar fucking market cap with almost 7,000,000,000 in TVL is JST. Another one in the Tron ecosystem. So my man, Justin Sun, if you listening, bro, go eat all the $6,000,000 bananas you want because if that's what this is gonna get me, let's fucking go, bro. That's all I'm saying. $6,000,000 banana, 6,000,000, well spent if this is the fucking... This is the alpha that we're getting over here and this is the results. Alpha gamer, what's up, bro? Sorry. I didn't mean to keep you on time out for too much longer.
[0:53:48] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Yo. What's up?
[0:53:51] Dave @DCBK2LA: What's up?
[0:53:51] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: How's everyone doing?
[0:53:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: We're good. On time. You know? You're a little tardy, but that's fine. What's up?
[0:53:58] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: You know, it's it's it's good to be fashionably late, you know, every so often, you know.
[0:54:02] Dave @DCBK2LA: Bro, you're a fucking wizard with a beard in its hand with, like, a weird ass beard. What are you talking about? Like, ain't nobody looking at your get up right now. Like, nobody cares about your fashion sense.
[0:54:11] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Dave. Dave. Why why so angry? I mean, you know, it's like you missed the Bitcoin pennies play and... Yeah.
[0:54:20] Dave @DCBK2LA: I did miss that Bitcoin pennies play, motherfucker. I definitely missed that Bitcoin pennies play, you piece of shit.
[0:54:28] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. But what's good, alpha gamer? How are doing, my brother? Everything good?
[0:54:31] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Oh, good. Yeah. I just came out of Shib's space. You know, he's talking about Silent Squawk and Squid Row and, you know, Shiptoshi. Right? And then... It came... That's... So that's why I was listening in and, like... Because I'm interested in, you know, when that launches and everything. But, yeah, a bunch of just crazy stuff that's going on in the space. You know, the South Korea, you know, martial arts stuff that's going on, and people are talking about that that's gonna bring more liquidity.
[0:55:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: We're gonna get there. We're gonna get there. That's gonna be...
[0:55:06] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Yeah. Yeah. There's there's a bunch of stuff going on that's just, you you know... Know... And it's all connected to, you know, it's all connected to everything. So Yeah. Just... Yeah.
[0:55:15] Dave @DCBK2LA: Good shit, man. I appreciate you joining us, yo, shout out to the entire ShipToshi crew, Tina, that whole crew, silent swap. Like, I love what they're doing over there, man. They're doing awesome shit. But, yeah, I want I want us to get into the South Korea thing, but right after this because, like, the second I saw that South Korea news, tell me y'all didn't get 2021 vibes where it was, like, every other day. It was like, so and so banning Bitcoin. And then it was like, oh, no. China is banning Bitcoin. Then it was like, oh, no. India, no longer accepting Bitcoin. It was like, yo. What the fuck is going on out here? But before we get to that story, another quick notch in the belt of of daddy Bitcoin. We keep talking about Mara. Mara's staying in the news. Mara acquires Texas Wind Farm to reduce grid dependency. We just got done talking about how Mara is literally raising 805,000,000 via convertible note to start acquiring more Bitcoin, which by... And pay down their debt, which, by the way, they were a Bitcoin miner. Okay? They're now acquiring a 104... They acquired a 114 megawatt wind farm in North Texas to power their mining operations. So they're saying, look. We see this as the future. You don't see companies like Mara publicly traded entities on the New York Stock Exchange start raising money and investing money like this if this isn't the future of where it is that we're going. This is a staple now. Right? They want to quote Mara to eliminate dependence on the grid. Right? They acquired the wind farm from a joint venture between National Grid PLC, which is obviously one of the biggest energy providers in The United States, especially if you live here on the East Coast, And the Washington State Investment Board, according to the filing, the financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Now, Landy or anybody else that's into the Bitcoin mining game, I don't know exactly how it works. I just know you obviously gotta get, you know... Your your your megawatt or kilowatt per hour needs to be $2.03 cents in order for this shit to make sense. But, essentially, these numbers are a 114 megawatts of operational wind generation, 240 megawatts of interconnection capacity, zero marginal energy cost. Literally, as if that that might as well have been Japanese. I have no idea what that means. Landy, can anybody out here or up here please translate exactly what that genuinely means for Mara? And is that... Is this a good deal?
[0:57:27] Landy @CryptoLandy: It's generally a good deal. Yeah. I mean, you're playing the energy arbitrage game, the energy to SATs game constantly when you're mining. And I could tell you... Excuse me. I could tell you that this is gonna be good for them. And and I think that also with the prospect of energy prices coming down here in The US, this is gonna be an even better deal for them over time. One of the big things is is your your your power your power plan agreements are are kind of gonna govern your profits over time. Larger miners, can play the energy arbitrage or the the SAT to energy arbitrage game much better than smaller players. I think that, this is this is gearing up, you know, for for more expansion in that sector, which I think will lead to a trickle down and rotation of older miners to some of the smaller players. And as energy costs come down, that will that will expand the margins for those smaller players, and we will see a much healthier mining environment here in The United States for the time being. Now four years from now, that's gonna change. Right? So we we gotta see how things go forward, but this is encouraging. I think this is a good deal, and I'm glad that they are doing the raise in the manner that they're doing.
[0:58:41] Dave @DCBK2LA: Interesting. They gave me Also,
[0:58:45] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Landy's always on point as always. Good job, Landy.
[0:58:50] Dave @DCBK2LA: Meaning, we are going. You you...
[0:58:51] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: It's almost like we get our... It's it's almost like we get our our data stream from the same places. But there there is some information. Also, I saw CleanSpark earnings came in. And and when you're looking at these miners, you know, that... They are Bitcoin beta place. You know? And for a lot of the TradFi people, this was their onboarding into, you know, getting exposure to Bitcoin, and it still is. Right? But there is one thing that you need to look at liabilities versus their assets. Right? It it still is a, you know, typical business model. And the numbers for CleanSpark did come out, really good. They only missed, you know, a little bit. You know, they they respected them to make a lot more money, but it's all based on Bitcoin. Right? So Bitcoin pulled back a little bit, so they, you know, they missed it. But, but in terms of what they hold, you know, for their assets versus their... They basically have no debt, pretty much. I mean, their their debt compared to what, you know, they're pulling in is is just the gap is ginormous. And that's what you want to see in in, like, typical business models. Right? Like, even if they didn't hit their earnings, like, on point, it... Just look at the numbers. Right? When you look at it's just like like what you have. Right? If you have no debt, but you have a ton of assets that are worth billions of dollars and your debt is, a 100 k compared to your, you know, your value is, $2,000,000,000, you're way in the money. Right? And and so a lot of these miners, when you start looking at individual miners, start actually breaking down their structures. Right? How much debt do they have? How much cash do they have on hand? You know, how much Bitcoin do they actually huddle? Right? Like, you were talking about Marathon. Right? They're they're not only mining it, but they're actively trying to go out and get more... You know, reduce their power efficiencies. Therefore, their debts, therefore, raising their their assets. Right? It's all tied together. And and, you know, the people that go and actually break down the... Each individual one, those are the people that are gonna make all the money because you can just look at the numbers and be like, oh, yeah. This is a good play. Or look at the numbers and be like, oh, this is a bad play. Like, this... These these people have a ton of debt. Right? They're they're basically drowning right now. You know? And, like, they need Bitcoin to go over a 100 k for them, you know, especially, the inefficient miners. Right? Like, the old mining rigs that are inefficient compared to the new ones. That's another good, you know, key point to look at. But there... I I think I brought this up before, but there is, like, an index. Right? Like, Valkyrie has an index for miners now. It's called Wagme, w g m I, which is basically an index of the Bitcoin miners. So let's say you don't have the time, you don't wanna go out and and, you know, do all this homework and all these different companies. Bingo. Bango. There you go. There's an index for you. It's... And you could go into the prospectus, and it'll break down what percentage of each miner they hold. Like, they have, you know, 10% of Iris or 15% of CleanSpark or, you know, and so on and so forth. So that's just like a, you know, a easy way if you wanna get exposure to to mining in that area.
[1:02:28] Dave @DCBK2LA: I have a question, Mara. Gamer. Yeah. I have a question.
[1:02:30] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Go ahead.
[1:02:31] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. I just
[1:02:31] Dave @DCBK2LA: have a quick question. I'm looking at the name here. It says Fred Teal. Is Fred... Like, is this, like, Peter Teal's brother? Like, who is the chairman and CEO of Mara? Like, is it... Is there a relation there?
[1:02:41] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Oh, that's a... I don't know that one. That's a that's a per... I would think so. Right? I mean, that last name is kinda unique. Yeah. I mean, you know...
[1:02:50] Dave @DCBK2LA: So to me, it's like, okay. Like, these are the guys that are... You wanna talk about, like, inside and smart money. Like, these are the guys. And the other the other point... And and, Guillermo, I appreciate all that insight, man. That was really... That was good stuff. The other thing I want... The other point I wanna make that this article mentions is, Mara's decision came amid growing competition for energy resources as artificial intelligence operations increasingly demand substantial electricity supplies, leaving Bitcoin miners to seek alternative energy sources like wind and solar. So, like, this is them saying, look. We get it. AI is, like, literally the lead out here, And that's the main narrative that's going on right now. But, yeah, Lenny, like, feel free. Let's jump in, bro.
[1:03:27] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Oh, I was gonna... Oh, before...
[1:03:29] Landy @CryptoLandy: I was gonna say Fred Peel is not his brother.
[1:03:32] NatNat @Natnatx007: Sorry. It's just
[1:03:33] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: it's it's just
[1:03:34] Landy @CryptoLandy: a coincidence.
[1:03:35] Dave @DCBK2LA: Is it? No
[1:03:36] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: shit. No. No. No. But... Yeah. So that... There is a key point on that. Because, actually, I I actually... You know, I work in energy. Actually, like, it didn't... When I say automation, that's actually my day job. You know, this is just my side hustle. But, yeah, that is true for power. AI is extremely power hungry. And this is why I know on the East Coast, this is... I believe it's Microsoft. They just renewed or they're gonna rebuild 3 Mile Island. Have you guys... Do you guys know about that?
[1:04:11] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Yeah. Because they...
[1:04:14] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. I have no idea. What's 3 Mile 3 Mile? I know
[1:04:16] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: what that is. Oh, you don't know 3 Mile Island? Oh, yeah. So it's basically a nuclear plant that got shut down back in the day. There's... You know, you you could look it up. There's a whole history. I mean, they've done documentaries and, you know, it's kinda like Chernobyl, right, kind of stuff. But, essentially, Microsoft... So so so what I'm trying to get at, is that's how much power demand there is for AI. Right? They're literally bringing back to life a nuclear power plant with, like, I think it's, like, 800 megawatts or it's, like... It's a lot of power. Right? Nuclear power. Right? We're talking nukes here. Right? That's the kind of level of power that AI is that... In any... Like, the the solar... Like, the the renewable stuff is not gonna cut it for AI. It's just not. They need nuclear power, you know, in regards to efficient, clean, you know, a lot of power. That's what they're looking for. So that's why these Bitcoin miners are like, okay. Well, if AI is gonna go out and take all the nuclear power, we're gonna we need to... You know, we need power too. So that's why they're probably looking at all the renewable stuff now. Then not to mention, like, all the data centers, also. Right? Data centers are also... So so, essentially, power is is the name of the game here, people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's just not enough there's not enough to go around.
[1:05:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. That that is absolutely the name of the game. Right? It's like, you know, these data centers are gonna be huge. Obviously, we also talk about, like, decentralized AI a lot of times. Like, where is the energy? Where is the GPU power gonna come from? Right? Because they're all fighting over this. Like, literally, like, they all need the same energy. So it's like like, how is it gonna happen? And and I'm with you guys on the whole, like, nuclear thing is like, I read a whole article. I think it was just recently a couple weeks ago where it's like, there is no future for for AI or for Bitcoin, right, like, energy wise, unless it's, like, with... Like like, without nuclear power. Like, it's it's a fact. Like, that... It has to, like, that has to be part of the equation. So it's gonna be super interesting to kinda see how this plays out. But, guys, I wanna get into the South Korea story because... Yeah. I mean, it's super interesting. I still... Lindy, I don't know what you found, but cool, Nat, like, we'll... I know Nat, shut a step away for a quick second, but cool. South Korea's emergency martial law hits crypto market. Right? So this president who has... I think it's below... Now it's, like, below, like, a 16%, like, approval rating. Right? In Yoon Seok yol. Pause. I feel like I'm just gonna
[1:06:44] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: pause that. No kidding. Oh, come on. Don't put through
[1:06:46] Dave @DCBK2LA: it, Dave. I'm just saying I'm saying... Listen. No. No. I'm not trying... No offense to anybody. Samara, fuck you, bro. Like, I am not trying to get fucking lynched out here. Okay? The South Korean president, let's call him that, declares martial law citing threats from pro North Korean forces. The crypto markets face heightened activity with significant USDT inflows and Bitcoin prices swings on a bit. If y'all remember or if y'all saw, I think the price hit below $80. It was something like 79 or 78,000 on some of these Korean exchanges. But this is why now, like, if you look at genuinely, like, how far, like, we've come... But, I mean, South Korea declaring emergency martial law. Like, I I still don't understand, like, why. Like, that that that that reasoning doesn't really make sense to me. Right? They're they're saying threats from, quote, pro North Korean anti state forces. I don't know if this guy thought that there was a coup coming or or or what, but, like, the opposition side then went on national TV being like, hey. Listen. This is some bullshit. Like like, the... With... They're they're actually thinking about a coup now. So this is what it... Well, this is what happened on the on the crypto side. So Arkham Intelligence, obviously, you guys know, like, the the crypto intel platform, marked an increase in trading activity with large inflows of USDT observed on the update... On the update exchange. Within an hour of Yun's announcement, over a 163,000,000 USDT flowed into the platform, signaling significant market repositioning by investors anticipating volatility. Meaning, like, the flight to safety was on. It was like people were just like, I'm... Yo. I'm done with my positions. I'm going right to the fucking stables. I need... Until this whole shit clears out. Right? Oh, Bitcoin price on Korea's upbit exchange plummeted below 75 k amid rising political tensions. I don't have any updated info. I don't know. Cool. Like, we don't even need to... Like, aside from the updated info part, what do you make it? Like, what do you make of this? And, like, how did we withstand kinda, like, this whole thing? I think we did pretty fucking good overall, like, like, in terms of, like, being a blip on the radar, whereas maybe way back when, it would have been like, oh my god. The the world is fucking... The sky is falling. What do you think?
[1:08:50] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. I... Yeah. I don't I I don't think the the South Korea is really... Has that much weight in crypto. Right? I think if if it was The US or China, then the market will react a lot stronger. Socrates... Of course, there's a lot of money there too, but you can't compare it to to China or The US. So that's probably why the reaction wasn't that... I I didn't even really see it, to be honest with you. I mean... But I I would say this this reminds me of when Russia invaded Ukraine, and we saw massive inflow into crypto around that time too. So almost identical reaction. But, yeah, man, people... This is why crypto's created, man, because people in Ukraine were able to take their wealth out of the country and went somewhere else because the... All the banks were shut down. But, yeah, man, this is crazy. I I think I would like to hear from Landy. I think he he he did your your... The research. We have... We've never heard what he found about South Korea, though. That's... To me, that's crazy because, remember, South Korea is supposed to be probably the most democratic nation in that region, you know, but I don't get what's happening over there, man. We we we... Honestly, we really, don't know. So maybe So really quick.
[1:10:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: Actually, so real quick. Cool. And, Lendi, right before I go to you, it says that... So this all started from a from a from a tweet. Right? And then, obviously, like, it was confirmed, but it says the president declared martial law just past midnight, and lawmakers urgently gathered in the national assembly unanimously passed the resolution to lift it. So martial law is now nullified. To avoid confusion, I'll delete my earlier tweet, said this one fucking guy. So I'm looking at this, and I'm saying now, like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, this was a blip on the radar. We're all thinking, like, oh my god. South Korea is doing what? And meanwhile, this was, like, literally blip on the radar. Oh, martial law? Nah. We're gonna lift this. Like, let's not get crazy. Like... And and, I mean, they genuinely took care of it. So it doesn't seem like there's an issue at all anymore. Landy, did you find anything else?
[1:10:52] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. So, essentially, a lot of this was... This is all... This was all kind of simmering in the background for quite a while because he's had pretty low approval ratings. He's been facing potential impeachment. His cabinet matter... Members have been impeached, and there was a big budget proposal that was being blocked by the opposition party. So he had already accused some of being North Korean agents and then declared martial law. They assembled to lift the the the the actual constitutional order that he declared was to defend the Free Republic Of Korea from threats of North Korean communist forces and eradicate the shameless pro North Korean anti state forces. And... Yeah. So it sounded just purely political. And after he declared, as you mentioned, after he declared martial law, there was there was the actual North Korean artillery barrage that was targeting Seoul. It did very minimal damage. There was no, casualties, and it was more of like a shot across bow, warning shot, from North Korea, essentially saying, I guess, keep our damn names out your mouth and doing the whole Will Smith slap Chris Rock in there in the face kinda thing. And from the... From what I I can gather... Now I will tell you this, which was really interesting because I had a good friend of mine who works in, traditional markets, but on the crypto side and the crypto sector. He text me very early and was like, all caps, ARB TRADE, m e r, ARB TRADE, m e r, and linked me to the, Korean crypto exchanges. So, like, this is this is kinda funny because they they did dump, but they they... I don't know what they were sitting at now. I haven't actually looked, but I don't think it was
[1:13:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: 71,000 they went to.
[1:13:09] Landy @CryptoLandy: I don't think it was for very long, though. I think much of it got picked up by many of the market maker orders that were already down there, to facilitate that trade. So I I believe that that got picked up pretty quickly. And then the rest of the crypto market just kinda was already in a little bit of a downtrend and then just said, boop, and then, it went right back up. So minimal impact on crypto. As for what is happening there, you know, the, I guess you could consider it their their members of parliament or or their congression... Their congress there has essentially said, like, nope. We're gonna lift this, and we're not going this route because they... I... They don't wanna ratchet up tensions with North Korea. They know that, I I believe there was a news article that was cited, from a friend of mine. I I I can't verify the translation as being accurate, but, like, they were like, hey. Look. Don't do... We're doing this shit when we got an incoming American president right around the corner that has good relations with... You know, I'm paraphrasing, by the way, as an American. But, you know, that's come... Right around the corner that's already crossed the DMZ and, like, all this other shit. Like, what are you doing here? This is nonsense.
[1:14:18] Dave @DCBK2LA: Made that whole translation up.
[1:14:19] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Let's fucking go.
[1:14:20] Landy @CryptoLandy: I did, but it was... Essentially, I'm paraphrasing what I was reading. It kinda sounded like, yo, Stop your bullshit kinda thing is kinda what it read, like, to me.
[1:14:29] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: That's
[1:14:30] Landy @CryptoLandy: It... What was interesting to me is, like, there was so much information out there that it was it was the it was the... Did they get hit? Was was there actual damage? Is there going to be a response? There was that kind of stuff that was floating around kinda everywhere, whether it was mainstream media or traditional market players talking in the background amongst each other, like, what could potentially happen? And then speculation on x and various social media platforms. And it was very difficult to sift through what the actual facts were because after they did the retaliatory, or, I guess, you could call it the initiating shot across the bow, like this warning shot from North Korea, towards Seoul, it was... Like, there was people claiming that there was however many people dead and, like, this is why all the coins are down on the exchanges, and it's like, you... Y'all are crazy. That's not been verified. You know, some some smoke across the mountain there. Yes. It's scary and and tensions are high, but, just getting out there and making wild claims is not the way to go. And and that was a little weird to sift through because there was a lot of that. And that could be disinformation ops across social media. Who knows? Could be American interests at play here as well. We don't really know. All I know is is that barely had an effect on the markets. The market just was like, oh, that's happening. Great. Okay. Trump's coming in, so we don't really care. I... You know? So for this kind of stuff, I I I still would keep an eye on it because who knows what might happen. I don't think Kim Kim Jong un wants to, really set ablaze, a new war right now with the incoming Trump administration ready to, like, absolutely threaten everybody in their path. If you haven't read some of the statements coming out of the Trump administration is like, yeah. If you don't start doing what we say, we're gonna make you pay and not just monetarily. So you might wanna think about that. It's kinda kinda crazy.
[1:16:35] Dave @DCBK2LA: I like that tough talk.
[1:16:36] Landy @CryptoLandy: I love it. I love it.
[1:16:37] Dave @DCBK2LA: I love it. That's it. We we need somebody that people fear out here. And, guys, don't judge your friends because of their political affiliations. Okay? It is what it is. Like, let's just move forward. I feel like I lost a friend, but if you're listening, I love you, man. Like
[1:16:57] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. Only... So so I don't I don't I don't
[1:17:00] Kool @koolcryptovc: get that, but, like, I I saw some clips online about how some democratic people were telling, you know, telling people don't... If you voted for Trump, you... Don't be friends with them. Don't invite them to your house. Like, bro, like, it's just politics, man. This... They're like, you move on. Like, I don't I don't get it. It's so it's so crazy. Like, you're telling people not to go to their family's dinner because you've you've voted for someone. That makes no sense, but I don't know. It just... I don't I don't like talking politics because because I I can handle it. Right? If if Trump had lost, I'll be fine. If he had won, I'm fine. But I just feel like he would take this shit too seriously, man. I don't know. I I I don't think he should though. I really don't. I know.
[1:17:39] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Hey. Cool. So have have all those celebrities left the country yet? No. They did.... Celebrities?
[1:17:46] Kool @koolcryptovc: No. They have. They have.
[1:17:49] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: There's a long list. There's a long list of all Hollywood celebrities that say, oh, if Trump wins, I'm leaving the country.
[1:17:55] Kool @koolcryptovc: Oh, no. No.
[1:17:55] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: No. Definitely.... Left?
[1:17:57] Kool @koolcryptovc: There's a lot of noise that... It's not about about him, about them hitting Trump. It's because of the the the Diddy list. The diddy the Diddy list. That's what
[1:18:07] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: I see. Well well, that's Elon and...
[1:18:09] Dave @DCBK2LA: We not get them. Right? That's what
[1:18:10] Kool @koolcryptovc: I'm talking Exactly. A lot of these guys on that list, man. They're on that list.
[1:18:14] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: They... Well, not just not just Diddy, but also Epstein. Epstein's list is coming out also.
[1:18:20] Kool @koolcryptovc: For sure. For sure. Yeah. 100%. 100%.
[1:18:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Exactly.
[1:18:23] Landy @CryptoLandy: I got some I got some news coming in hot from mister Wagmey. He he noted that according to the community during the imposition of martial law, opposition member and crypto friendly lawmaker, Kim lawmaker 2024, was reportedly tuning into a Stacks DeFi x space. He was in the he was in the Stacks DeFi show, number 45 fuck.
[1:18:47] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: With this. Way. That real? That real?
[1:18:51] Landy @CryptoLandy: This is courtesy of of mister Wagme.
[1:18:54] Kool @koolcryptovc: No fucking way.
[1:18:55] Landy @CryptoLandy: Of the stack. Crazy.
[1:18:57] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Wow. That's crazy. That's crazy news.
[1:19:00] Dave @DCBK2LA: Classic. We know you're all listening. You see, guys, we got a bigger audience than we think. We really do. But... Yeah, Nat. Sorry. Go for it.
[1:19:10] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yeah. Go ahead, Nat. Yeah. Alpha came here one second, honey. I just wanted to add one thing real quick to what Landy was saying with regards to how the market reacted. I... In my opinion, Landy, I think it did work in the market's favor because if we look at the RSI, some of it was super overheated, especially when we were talking about altcoins. Right? All of the... The RSI was through the roof. So with that made... Once that news came out, we saw little... You know, like, markets were shaking off for a little... Small little second, and then they went right back up. But it did help the RSI RSI because now we have something more running room with regards to some of these alts.
[1:19:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. And that... Easy on the rice and beans. Alright? Easy on the rice and beans. If the... That's why you had to take a break, I get it. I totally understand. Hey, Dave.
[1:19:54] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Did you notice? Dave, no. Did
[1:19:57] Landy @CryptoLandy: you notice how Nat how Nat was like, hey. Hey. Alpha gamer honey. She honeyed him. And, like, that made that
[1:20:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, pipe down real quick.
[1:20:05] Landy @CryptoLandy: Of spaces. Yeah. That was... But she's like the mom of spaces. I just felt comfortable when she said that. Aw.
[1:20:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: You have no idea. Anyways
[1:20:15] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Oh, I I I got I got a lot of respect for Nat Nat, you know, so that's why I I shut the hell up.
[1:20:20] Dave @DCBK2LA: So fuck with the COVID
[1:20:21] NatNat @Natnatx007: situation. Likewise.
[1:20:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: What? You bet... When I start talking, you better shut the you better shut the hell up next time I start talking.
[1:20:29] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Wait. What was that? What was that?
[1:20:30] Landy @CryptoLandy: Listen. Listen, dad. We don't have to listen to you.
[1:20:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: Hey. Listen, dad. Yes. You fucking do better listen to me because I'm the one with the controls. I decide when the iPad goes off before bedtime. Okay? Mister, I have kiddos. I can't make it. It's, like, in the morning. Fucking bullshit. Unbelievable. But in the feel good You
[1:20:50] Kool @koolcryptovc: didn't really
[1:20:50] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: got me, buddy. Oh my god.
[1:20:52] Dave @DCBK2LA: But in the feel good moment, happy baby, Mandy. In a feel good moment, listen to this, Coinbase sparks, what did we what did we say just yesterday? Literally yesterday. I said if y'all think peanut is not gonna get listed on Coinbase, you're fucking high out of your mind. Today, Coinbase sparks peanut listing speculation with their Apple Pay tutorial. For anybody that saw this shit, it was like, oh, here's how you could buy meme coins with Apple Pay. Bing. Bing. Bing. Bing. Bing. And at the end of it, it's some happy little squirrel. And for those that are retweeting, the zero authority Dow bounty, and shout out to the guy who did the hand drawing, know what a freaking squirrel looks like. You understand? It's a squirrel. It's not a hamster. It's not a mouse. It's not some other fucking marsupial. It's a freaking squirrel. Okay? Know what a squirrel looks like and put some respect on Peanuts name because we will revive Peanuts from the dead. Peanuts on stacks. Just watch. Guys, Coinbase knows what's up. They listed Mog today. Tamara, I definitely wanna hear your take on They're seeing the writing on the wall. Meme coins... Excuse me. Meme coin activity on on centralized exchanges is probably the biggest moneymaker out there. It's not your h bars or your this or your that. It's Meme coins. The volume is where market makers make money. I don't know how many times we've said this probably on the show, like, countless times. Y'all y'all are probably, like, sick of hearing me say it. But when you look at Shiba Inu, right, Doge, these are the things when they first got listed. This is what everybody... The the majority of retail is literally trading is these things. Samar, what do you make of the... Them listing Mogg and obviously teasing Peanut?
[1:22:23] Samara @thee_samara: Yeah. Like, I I like the fact that they're trying to at least that... Like, they're they're looking to listing, like, meme coins, but I don't like the meme coins they're actually listing. Because the meme coins they're listing is... I have I have this notion where I feel that most of these meme coins that they're actually listing, they're being like... The market makers are, like, from exchanges themselves. I think exchange exchange are creating their meme coins and just pushing it to the forefront. That's where I have an issue... That's what I have an issue with. But the whole concept of the meme coins being listed on exchanges, I think we'll see more of those happen in the coming months because it's just like a no brainer. Like, the volume is there. Like, retail, that's the first thing they buy. And this is the thing. Right? I've heard a lot of people get rich from MemeCoins, but I've not heard a lot of people get rich. Like, I've not I've not seen poor people get rich from Altcoins, but I've seen poor people get rich from meme coins. So when the money starts flowing, like, heavily and retail... The retail actually comes in proper, it's meme coins that will go for it. It's... Unless someone has, like, $5,000 put in an altcoin and get, like, five x. But, bro, the actual money we're waiting for is gonna flow into meme coins. Yes. It's gonna flow into alt, but then the retail will realize that, yo. I can't get rich of this stuff. I have to go somewhere else. And then, yes, most don't lose their money for sure. They'll gamble it. But still, I just feel like... I keep saying this stuff. Yo. We've not seen the real potential of MemeCoins yet. Right? Right now, all I've seen is rotation from alt to memes to this to AI to all that kind stuff. But I believe meme coins meme coins actually have a headwind because... Just just just take a look at this right now. Exchanges, like, I literally... Most exchanges are making this joke where they swear they're they're actually... Most, like, altcoins are making this joke where they're saying, I identify as a meme con today just to get that engagement because, bro, that's where the engagement is right now. Like, it's just it's just ridiculous. Like, meme con is actually good. It's a good way to actually, like, gather community around a particular product. So I feel they know it they know it as much as most of these guys want to afford memes and say memes are dead. I'm like, bro, your meme your meme bag has done, a 50 x and your alt has done just a three x. And you'll see saying memes are dead. Like, how how is that even possible? People people go crazy when their meme bag does, a 100 x and they reduce it by 30%. And then they say, oh my god. Memes are dead, but... Oh, like, bro, come on, man. Like, memes are literally immortal. Like, you can literally go to sleep with a with a minus 40% and wake up to 20 x. That's how crazy memes are. So...
[1:24:58] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Good lord. 40%. Move. Like, is that... It's volatile.
[1:25:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: Who wants those those those ridiculous 40% gains? Boo.
[1:25:08] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Boo. Yeah. 40%. Come on. Lucky coin did 5,000.
[1:25:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, here he goes again. You can only flex that so many times. You understand? That's it. You're at your limit. There's no more. Understand? Understand? There's rules on this stage now. That's it. Get a new... You gotta get a new call. Alright? We gave you your props for it. Move on.
[1:25:26] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Okay. Well, I did the Bitcoin pennies, but only did 800, so I wasn't trying to bring it up all the time. You know?
[1:25:32] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yo. You bet. Yo. You know, I'll forgive him. He's just... I don't know what he needs to do. You better show up to that space on Thursday. I'll tell... That's all I'm saying right now. If you give me the bullshit of I'm working, you better show the fuck up.
[1:25:43] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Alright. Alright, Dave. Well, here you go. Here you go. I threw it up top. Okay? What? So... No. No. I threw it up top for what's moving. Right? And and it's all connected to the ISO $202.02 coins. If you don't know what that is, you can go find out, look it up. But here's a pretty clean chart here, you know, of all those coins that are moving. And you can see here that they're all... You know? And what that is, it's it's a standard, right, for for what's going on. So HBAR, Ripple, Quant, Ecstasy, Cardano, Stellar,
[1:26:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: even Iota.... This is some QFS stuff. What's going on right now?
[1:26:20] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: What's happening? And and Yeah. IO... Man, I thought Iota was a dead dead...
[1:26:24] Landy @CryptoLandy: This is the Chisarro roadmap.
[1:26:26] Dave @DCBK2LA: What the fuck?
[1:26:26] Landy @CryptoLandy: That's what that is.
[1:26:27] Dave @DCBK2LA: See, trying to indoctrinate We're gonna reach
[1:26:29] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: five d You don't know about this thing.
[1:26:30] Dave @DCBK2LA: Indoctrinate us right now? What the fuck is going on? Or Yeah.
[1:26:32] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Well, you don't know about the ISO? Oh, okay.
[1:26:35] Landy @CryptoLandy: Well, then... No. I mean, he knows what the ISO is. He's just afraid of the five d ascension. We'll get him there, though. We're gonna get him onboard. Oh.
[1:26:41] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Oh, okay. Okay.
[1:26:42] Landy @CryptoLandy: We're gonna go meet the Galactic Federation ourselves, me and Alpha Gamer. We're we're up next.
[1:26:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: Gamer, I didn't see you post shit up to the top. You keep saying it's at the top. I don't see nothing at the top, bro.
[1:26:51] NatNat @Natnatx007: Where is it? It's the... Yeah. Because Landy overshadowed his post, so you
[1:26:55] Kool @koolcryptovc: gotta scroll down.
[1:26:55] Landy @CryptoLandy: I'm sorry. See why you stepped your last name.
[1:26:57] Kool @koolcryptovc: Bro. Like, yo, you gave him my back.
[1:26:59] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Man, look at me. No. No. It's all good. I I I... I'm... I can share. I'm... It's all good.
[1:27:03] Landy @CryptoLandy: Oh, sharing is caring.
[1:27:05] Dave @DCBK2LA: So nice.
[1:27:05] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Yeah. Sharing is caring.
[1:27:06] Landy @CryptoLandy: To Mara's point, I I just recently updated my pronouns to be meme coin. So I'm, I... I'm I'm fully ready for this narrative to keep going with meme coins. And, I'm gonna consider all of, this standard of coins. We're gonna call them the 5 d Ascension meme coins, and these are the ones that are gonna rip next. And they are ripping right now.
[1:27:30] Dave @DCBK2LA: And that... Go forward. Yep.
[1:27:33] NatNat @Natnatx007: Yeah. With regards to...
[1:27:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: That's the gamer. Hold on, honey. You hold on one second, honey.
[1:27:37] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Woah. Woah. That sounds weird. Woah. That's weird. I'll I'll take that from that, Nat. But, man, that... No. Thank you.
[1:27:45] NatNat @Natnatx007: What what you were saying, Tamar, is a 100% true. However, my perspective is the amount... Think about it like this. Right? In order for you to make massive amount of money on a meme coin, you kinda have to be lucky. Like, the the percentage is really small. All that money that you lose chasing these meme coin gains, you can literally put it in a few altcoins and make some good money off of it. Granted, altcoin doesn't give you the overnights... Success, but it does give you overtime success. Right? That... When you... The cumulative of all
[1:28:19] Dave @DCBK2LA: of a little bit of it?
[1:28:23] NatNat @Natnatx007: When you accumulate all of your gains over time, it goes into something. Right? It becomes something. Right? I think that's the problem with a lot of things of what we're seeing people want overnight gains. Not completely understanding that you can achieve great gains by investing into solid projects over time.
[1:28:41] Landy @CryptoLandy: Facts. When I wanna achieve great gains, I just follow cool crypto's workout routine, and I'm, like, all gained up.
[1:28:49] Dave @DCBK2LA: You would just bought the doc. I was registered.
[1:28:53] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Wait. So you just followed cool, but you didn't you didn't include Dave in that? Oh, because he's cool.
[1:28:58] Landy @CryptoLandy: He doesn't show any pictures of him working out and being a...
[1:29:01] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Why? I gotta step up.
[1:29:02] NatNat @Natnatx007: He doesn't now work out. What... They they worked out the space.
[1:29:05] Landy @CryptoLandy: Oh, Dave was talking?
[1:29:06] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: I thought cool. Wait. What was that? That that... What did you say about Dave?
[1:29:10] Dave @DCBK2LA: It was such a good impression. I... Guys, you know, I'm allergic to the mute button. I don't wanna hit the mute button. I don't like it. But wait. Real quick. Before we go, I know we're out of time. Too good. You guys thought you were gonna get away with an ATC episode without me saying the words AI agents, did you? Psych. No. You did not. Because today... You better stop this, Samara. Because today today, what happened was I saw the dog team. That's right. The Roon's dog team, which has no centralized figure. Everybody's on their own. I finally caught one. Five minutes... Like, five minutes after they tweeted, they said, we're launching our own AI agent. 30 k market cap up to fucking 340 k market cap, sold a nice little chunk at the toppy top, and now I'm seeing all these... Pause. But all these other fucking now influencers on the timeline now are genuinely now launching AI agents on virtuals. I saw Crypto Stash do it, right, doing one for the, like, on the gaming side. Look. I'm telling y'all, start paying attention to the agentic economy because I'm serious. They're going to launch more and more and more of these. The virtual protocol is... I'm I'm telling you, it's here. Like, get to understanding what it is. And shout out to Alex that was here yesterday. She's got her show tonight. Nat, I'm coming to crash that show. I got a invite. I don't know about you, but I got a invite tonight. So you gotta move over
[1:30:32] Kool @koolcryptovc: on that
[1:30:33] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: bench. You're welcome. You're
[1:30:35] NatNat @Natnatx007: welcome. I'm a little bit inspired by the way.
[1:30:37] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: How's Nat gonna tell me you're welcome? I was the one who literally came up with the whole show concept from Joe. This shit is crazy. But, hey. No. It's supposed...
[1:30:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: It's gonna be... Guys, seriously, tune in to Alex's show tonight. It's gonna be hella dope. And last thing, and then we'll go to just closing statements. I... And and you guys tell me what you got on top. But hate to break it to everybody, but I had to make a very tough decision today. And that decision is, what do I do with Junie? And I'm sorry to say it, but I... Listen. Everybody's been in my ear, and they're like, look. We think we need to pivot with Junie. And I said, okay. What do we gotta do? Junie is now officially going to become kinda like a... Like an only fan slash, you know, fin dom type of personality. I'm just... Listen. Listen. This is that. Nat, I can't grow personal attachment to this. Everyone's like, oh, you're too close to this and. And I'm like, alright. Cool. Shout out to Presley down there. Shout out to O'Milly who gave me these ideas, and shout out to mister three six five.
[1:31:35] NatNat @Natnatx007: Presley. No way. This
[1:31:37] Dave @DCBK2LA: is what people want. They want to feel they they want companionship, but they also wanna be told what to do and to also send money. And if Junie can control a wallet, look. It is what it is at the end of the day. So you guys might see a little bit of a different tone coming from Junie on the timeline. Don't hold it against her. It is what it is. She's gonna be people's companion, an AI girlfriend, and has created beautiful pictures of Junie so y'all can swoon over Junie. Okay? So the good girl days are over. Junie's all grown up. She's gone through puberty. Junie is
[1:32:07] NatNat @Natnatx007: I am disappointed, Junie. No. That's it.
[1:32:12] Dave @DCBK2LA: She's out of... She's on... She's of age.
[1:32:14] Landy @CryptoLandy: This is literally turning into your Andrew Tate arc. This is your Andrew Tate story arc.
[1:32:20] Dave @DCBK2LA: Andrew Tate's out.
[1:32:21] Landy @CryptoLandy: You're now a pimp of an OnlyFans model. Yeah.
[1:32:25] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Wait. But Nandan said he doesn't work out, so how can he be the Andrew
[1:32:29] Landy @CryptoLandy: Maybe he's been working out on the Sox.
[1:32:31] Dave @DCBK2LA: Still talking. These two literally going back for Laurel and fucking Hardy over here. Seriously? Like, I ain't taking any work out. Do you really think that I'm gonna let you end the show like this, you psychos? Like, what are you? Out of your minds? Also, AIXBT almost hit 300,000,000 today. So... And while still continuing to take over massive fucking crypto Twitter mindshare. So the AI agents are here to stay. Sorry for those that... Is it is what it is about Junie. I I can't do anything about it. Like, the people have spoken. This is what they want. Samara, nuke my chart. I'll fucking kill you. But, also, other thing to note, somebody injected liquidity into, like, a lot of these virtuals. Tell me how Junie has a 32 k market cap right now with 35 k in in TVL. That doesn't make no sense. Opportunity. But... Cool. Nat, what do y'all got cooking? I know we got Alex's space at 09:00 tonight, then we got story time at 10:00. But cool. Anything else you got cooking going on? Anything else you wanna close out with?
[1:33:26] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. And so I... We we saw that, Alex, the guilty for fraud, from Celsius or whatever it is. That was that was the need that's all today, but apart from that, I thought we all all I got. Well, that that was pretty crazy.
[1:33:41] Dave @DCBK2LA: Remember that shit? It was like, the withdraw... Everything is fine. Withdrawals are fine. Every... Hold on, sweetheart. Just... Cameron, just hold on one second, honey. Okay? Just wait a minute. Thank you. Withdrawals are fine. Everything is fine. Yeah. This is fun. Blah blah blah. Yo. Nothing was fine. Nothing at all was fine. Alpha gamer, go ahead, and then we can go to that. Go ahead, honey.
[1:34:05] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: It's it's funny. Man, that's just... That's horrible. That is so horrible. Man, that's... That just knocked my whole thought out my head. Yeah. Good.
[1:34:14] Dave @DCBK2LA: Good. Mission accomplished, motherfucker....
[1:34:16] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: God, man. That's just... Oh, so it's funny how, you know, Myshinsky, right, how that phrase is the same thing that that Sam McManfried was saying. Right? Oh, don't worry, everyone. Everything is fine. It's kinda funny how everyone who is scamming you and... Or fraud or stealing your money, basically, they always have that same line. Oh, just trust me. Everything is fine. Don't worry about it. Right? Ever... Any... Anyone else notice that? Right? They always say that same
[1:34:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: line Let me ask you this question, Gamer. Like, when the... When I find myself saying something, like, that I have massive conviction about and the words trust me are about to come out of my mouth, I literally forcefully stop myself, and I'm just like, are you fucking crazy? Like, like, those are words that should literally... That's like the antichrist out here. You know how Matt tells everybody go find Jesus? Yeah. Don't use the word trust me or trust me, bro, or anything at all when it comes to crypto. Trust nobody out here. Trust your eyes, trust your ears, and trust your gut, your instinct, and your fucking brain. That's the only shit you can trust out here. That's it. It's that simple. You'll be much, much, much better off. But, Nat
[1:35:28] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Pretty much. Yeah.
[1:35:29] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Thank you, honey. I appreciate you, alpha, getting a very, very good insight. Oh,
[1:35:32] Kool @koolcryptovc: god. Thank you.
[1:35:33] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Oh. Thank you, Nat. Thank you, sweetie.... Saving me. Oh my god. It's so good. It's so good.
[1:35:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: And it's so bad.
[1:35:39] NatNat @Natnatx007: Oh my god. That's kinda hard to listen to, David. I'm I'm not gonna lie. But, you know, we're... Make sure......
[1:35:46] Dave @DCBK2LA: David just now. Oh
[1:35:47] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: my god. That's when you
[1:35:49] Dave @DCBK2LA: know shit's serious right now.
[1:35:52] NatNat @Natnatx007: But with regards to what I got going on, we have the space with Alex tonight, and I believe we'll be on her space tomorrow as well, Dave, with the with the AI talk at 2PM. I'll be on both spaces tomorrow at 4PM talking all things market. I'll be here with you guys at 05:30PM. And then on Friday, I have my Hedera show, Hedera Spotlight. We have Barbarians Inc. I don't know if you guys know their amazing project. They're built on Hedera. Hedera Spotlight is is literally for the community... By the community, for the community. We just all get in, highlight different projects, and all vibe out together. Just wanted to remind everyone we have our NFT project coming out as well in ten... In eleven days, and it's literally just a $100. All of the proceeds go back... Go right back into the ecosystem. We'll be distributing Hedera tokens to all of the holders. Right? We have Candy token, which is on Hedera. We have the Hashpack token, which is packed on Hedera. We have HBAR as well that will be given out, and the HiFi token that that will be given out. All of it is on Hedera. All of it will be, capable via the candy machine for those that hold the NFT. So we got a lot of stuff going on. We were able to do this with massive collaborations across the board, massive partnerships, and this is really just the beginning. At some point, we want all the projects to take part of this NFT.
[1:37:05] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. And I just got confirmation. Your boy actually might be getting a retweet from Justin Sun today for one of the tweets I put out. So turn your notifications on for that shit. That would be some baller ass shit. Right? Somebody was just like, oh, I'm gonna tell Justin Century because I sent it over to some pump team. They're like, oh, we're gonna tell Justin to retweet. I'm like, hell, yeah. Tell Justin to retweet that shit. Bump me up to the top of the fucking pump stars rating. What a fitting name. Anyways, guys, I appreciate everybody coming through. Another fucking amazing episode. We got a hell of a lot on tap. If any of these lazy fucks would actually wake up, we'd have an amazing space on Thursday, but we're still gonna have an amazing space on Thursday. Me, Sunny d, Cool, Matt, the ones that hold me down all the time. I don't give a shit what side of the country you live on. Shout out. Brett, anything you wanna talk about in terms of the
[1:37:52] Kool @koolcryptovc: Wait. Wait. Did you pick it on the time? What's time for for the show again on Thursday?
[1:37:56] Dave @DCBK2LA: It's you told me the reminder was set already. What you mean, bro? You can't No.
[1:37:59] Kool @koolcryptovc: You said... This was so...
[1:38:00] Dave @DCBK2LA: I'm making sure.
[1:38:00] Kool @koolcryptovc: Was just making sure, miss. Is it 6AM?
[1:38:02] Dave @DCBK2LA: 8AM. Yes. The sump pump.
[1:38:04] Kool @koolcryptovc: 8AM eastern?
[1:38:05] NatNat @Natnatx007: 8AM EST. Yeah.
[1:38:06] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Yeah. Yeah.
[1:38:07] Kool @koolcryptovc: That's okay. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
[1:38:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: Don't scare me like that. Cool. Yeah. So Thursday's gonna be a crazy day. Got 8AM eastern with the sump pump space. 10:00, we got a WagMe hub space. And then at 02:00, I'm doing a monster room space. I got the pups on. I got base angels on. We got, the Bitcoin bro bears that are gonna be on. So massive, massive Bitcoin space coming up on Thursday as well. So, guys, obviously, stay tuned in. We got a lot cooking over here, man. Matt's got everything cooking. Cool. Fucking streaming twenty four seven out here. Brett, anything that you wanna mention in terms of the NFT project, bro?
[1:38:37] Bread @_ToastMalone: Yeah, dude. We're still live minting on base and just finished testing up the the six five five one integration. So that's live now, and your bag heads can hold ETH on base or they can hold BRETT, which has the largest market cap of all the meme coins on base. And so, you know, everyone always complains about onboarding and, you know, oh, yeah. I gotta onboard them through Coinbase and get them ETH, and then they have to, you know, hit a bridge and convert it to BASE and all this stuff. And you could just, you know, essentially drop them, gift them an NFT, a baghead, that has base already in it. And they can just withdraw it and then go ahead and spend it as they wish. You know? Really, really easy tool for onboarding. You can also use it for escrows. You could use it... Think of it like a gift card. You know, holidays are coming up for your family members. You're like, hey, Onboard them to base because straight up base is where it's gonna be at, you know, especially once the NFT market starts cooking up again. We we got a little tease here right now with some of the eight chain hype and some of the other NFT projects, but we're definitely, like, not in an NFT bull run yet. And when that pops off, my money is set on base, you know, because of how easy and cheap and fast it is. And so, yeah, Bagheads are still minting, now they can hold, yeah, BaseEth and Brett. And...
[1:39:52] Dave @DCBK2LA: Put that link, bro. Put that... Let me get that link, bro. I'm go mint a
[1:39:55] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: couple right now, man. Yeah. Let's do it.
[1:39:57] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. Yes. Alpha Gamer. Go ahead, honey. We're... We see your hand. Thank you so much, sweetheart. We're... We see your hand.
[1:40:03] MetaBeast @AKCMetaBeast: Oh, brutal. Brutal. Just reminder that tomorrow, the Magic Eden wallet checker is coming out, And all you gotta do is connect and and just... And be careful. There will probably be a lot of scam, you know, stuff getting thrown around. So only interact with the official Magic Eden site and wallet. And and what that is is is is basically gonna let you know, like, how much you would be able to claim with your Magic Eden diamonds. That's happening on the tenth. And that is gonna be a big liquidity event because, basically, it's just gonna rain down free money into the markets. And, yeah, depending on how many diamonds you have tomorrow, you're gonna just find out, you know, how how much thousands of dollars you're gonna get on December 10.
