The hosts and guests discussed a wide range of crypto and macro topics including TikTok content strategy, AI agents for sports betting, Bitcoin market structure and exchange outflows, Elon Musk’s push for US Treasury transactions on blockchain, the exposure of USAID corruption, upcoming FDIC revisions to allow banks greater crypto custody and tokenized deposits without prior approval, airdrop checkers and new project launches, and the evolving 2025 meta around NFTs, skin-in-the-game mechanics, and tokenized real-world assets. Significant time was spent debunking viral claims blaming market makers and exchanges for price suppression, with emphasis on on-chain data showing large Bitcoin withdrawals. The conversation also covered reverse repo dynamics, interest rate implications, and where future liquidity may originate. All of this is discussion, not financial advice.

[0:02:32] Dave @DCBK2LA: What's up, everybody? Happy Wednesday. Happy hump day. We got a lot to chat about today. Some more news. Yeah. We got a lot to cover. I've been playing around with so many things today. Oh, yo. This this this shit isn't easy. Shout out, Gex. What's good? Brett, I see you. What up? Riot, what's good? Buildo, Acro, everybody else that's in the building. What's up? Yo. Cool. This YouTube TikTok. Bro, this is no joke. I'm over here cutting shorts all day out of this, that, trying to get shit going, but I put some shorts up on TikTok. They got, like, 400 views in, like, five... Like, I don't if I'm... Like, twenty minutes. I was like, goddamn. Not bad this stuff, man. Not bad. We're gonna cook. Cool. What's good, bro? [0:03:21] Kool @koolcryptovc: Hey. What up? What are you guys doing? Happy Wednesday. What's up, Landy day? What's up, are you guys doing? Yeah. TikTok, I heard I heard they they aggressively promotes new users. So if you... On TikTok, you... If I were gonna blow up initially, and it kinda slows down. But... Yeah, man. I'm bullish TikTok, man, for content creator, especially for crypto. I... For some reason, that niche is coming back. Cryptocreators are are blowing up on Twitter, man. I'm still on TikTok. So it's a it's a good idea to post on TikTok. [0:03:52] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah, bro. I signed up for this, like, AI, like, Opus, like, AI clip thing where it just essentially clips all your... Like, if I'm doing the YouTube, then it makes sense. You know what I mean? I mean, it just makes sense, like, to be able to go there and just cuts up... Gotta love it. And it just cuts up all your stuff. You know what I mean? So, yeah, highly, highly recommend it. Landy, what's up, bro? [0:04:15] Landy @CryptoLandy: How you doing, Dave? How you doing? Cool. I'm just... You know, I'm doing my normal thing, trading over here, trying to educate people. I I was on a a show this morning in which I said some very controversial things that people didn't like, and I have my DMs to contend with now that absolutely got blown up, and it's so hilarious. But, anyway, I've been having fun with that. Obviously, people get a little upset when you say things that they don't like in this space, or or that they know, but they don't want you to say out loud. So, yeah, it's been an interesting day. It was a lot of... [0:04:58] Dave @DCBK2LA: Cool. Cool. You're gonna say something? You cut out a little bit. [0:05:01] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Okay. [0:05:02] Kool @koolcryptovc: Cool. Can you what you said? Supposed to be. [0:05:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Exactly, Andy. What did you say that drove everybody into a frenzy, bro? [0:05:10] Landy @CryptoLandy: Oh, I said that a lot of meme coins, on the next rally are very likely going to rally to lower highs because I believe that their actual all time highs are in. And while there's still gonna be some that will make new all time highs, that the majority of them will rally to, make lower highs or swing their all time high and then get absolutely destroyed. And, people did not like that. And, but it's true. You know, that's what what all of the data is telling us. That's what the market behavior is telling us. And we're starting to see market movements from from, liquidity that was in these memes is starting to rotate slowly into these alts on the lows. So it's been a very interesting thing to watch. People don't like that. And we had a lot of [0:05:58] Dave @DCBK2LA: fun and jokes around that. Even brought up, and read some of [0:06:01] Landy @CryptoLandy: the comments I was getting out loud, which were just freaking beautiful. I love it. Yeah. It it... Don't say controversial things if you have thin skin in this game because you'll get absolutely destroyed. And people come up with the most creative things to say to you to try and, like, take you down a peg, which is awesome. I've actually been having fun with it. I found it, like, an interesting social experiment to come out as a a little bit of a meme coin bearish, sentiment guy. And, turns out, yeah, don't do that when the show is, all about meme coins. [0:06:35] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Or when people's meme coins bags are literally down 90%. You know, they're probably a little bit tentative. [0:06:41] Landy @CryptoLandy: A little a little bit of salt in the wound never hurt anybody to get them over to Bitcoin. [0:06:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: So I actually think that's exactly the definition of salt in the wound is to purposefully hurt somebody, actually, now that we think about it. [0:06:51] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was kind of dumping salt everywhere, and then I went to get I went to get a truck full of salt and then dump it on them again. And then, then I threw some salt water on the salt. Yeah. It was it was [0:07:04] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: pretty good. [0:07:05] Dave @DCBK2LA: Alright. Okay. It's good to know. Please please don't bring those people in here looking to come lynch you. [0:07:12] Landy @CryptoLandy: Oh, they followed me in. I see them in the audience. [0:07:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: Here we go. Fantastic. Amazing. Yo. Brent's here joining us too, Brent. What's good, my bro? [0:07:22] Bread @_ToastMalone: GM fam. Not a whole lot. Just over here grinding away at my freaking desk. But, yeah, my my agent placed his bets for today, so looking forward to, seeing the outcome of the NBA games tonight even though I legitimately... I don't know shit about the NBA or really a whole lot of sports in general. But, I'm excited to pay attention to the scores of the games now because there's some fear... I guess, I mean, like, well, the agent has some money on the line. I'm not copy trading yet because, again, I don't understand the shit. But it's it's gonna be exciting to see. We've got, what, eight eight bets out out of the 11 games happening tonight. So, you know, all I can say is, I guess, like, go Cavs because, you know, we've got them to win against the Pistons. So let's fucking go. [0:08:10] Dave @DCBK2LA: Shout out Billy Betts. Yo. Post that agent to the top, bro. I wanna see... Like, when you sent that to me yesterday, I'm like, yo. This is great. So now wait. Tell us a little bit more if you if you don't mind, bro. Like... So... Well, I guess, first and foremost, is there a token attached to the agent or no? Not yet? [0:08:26] Bread @_ToastMalone: Oh, TGE is happening this month. Just, yeah, kinda like... You know, obviously, like, all all the homies here will get will get some alpha as soon as that date is locked in. There's a tentative date right now, so I don't wanna... Like, obviously, I can't call speculation and all that type of shit. But, like, there is a tentative date before the end of the month for TGE for the token with Billy and just ironing out some of the tokenomics there as far as what it's gonna be used for and essentially being able to bet alongside Billy using his token perhaps, you know, or possibly winnings, or there's gonna be some pairings potentially. You know? There... It's gonna be it's gonna be dope. Ultimately, Billy is a full, yeah, AI agent who is maintaining his own P and L with his own wallet. He's algorithmically looking at sports bets, looking at the over unders, looking at the spreads, looking at the player props, looking at all of the injury reports. Like, everything that would go into placing a sports bet, He's doing it for the entire league and then using a formula that some very, very smart people, smarter than I, as far as the math is concerned here, figured out. And ultimately decides, hey. If my bankroll is this much in my wallet, I'm gonna place these bets on these games. And, I mean, we'll we'll see what happens tonight because, yeah, so last week, we we funded the the production test that we're running currently. We funded the wall with a $100. As of today, that was last week. As of today, had $400. It's it's winning a lot. It's placing all these bets out on Polymarket. There'll be some other site integrations too, looking, you know, road map items down the road, like some other online betting platforms for sports. But right now, Polymarket was kind of like the... This this, you know, direct path forward for MVP. And so, yeah, right now, though, tonight across the eight games, we've got $255 on the line. So we're gonna see we're gonna see what happens. You know? It... It's it's crazy that it's essentially completely out of our control other than setting... Like, right now, we have a hard set bankroll while we're... You know, myself and the one other dev, while we're while we're just checking things and making sure that it's not just gonna, like, full port onto one game or anything like that. You know? And... But, ultimately, that'll be a sliding scale based on its wallet holdings. We'll adjust that bankroll. So, dude, it's it's it's dope, figuring out the Twitter integrations. Accidentally turned it on the main account last night. That's where that tweet came from. I, was supposed to be playing on the test account, and was like, oh, shit. My bad, guys. I totally just, like, unleashed this fucker out on the world on the main account. So, like, my bad. I [0:11:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: love it, bro. And is it taking lines? Like, you have it, like, plugged into, like, data sources to where, like... How is it, like, create... Like, betting on the lines? Like, is it taking all that data into consideration? Yeah. Yeah. It's taking all the lines. That is sick. [0:11:30] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Yeah. [0:11:31] Dave @DCBK2LA: Dude, amazing, bro. I love it. Brad, good luck with it, man. Like, anything we can do to support, bro. Pin it to the nest. Put it in the comments. I'll definitely help push that shit, bro. I love that, dude. Let's go. [0:11:41] Bread @_ToastMalone: Hell fucking yeah, dude. I appreciate it. Yeah. I'll pin something up top, and then I'll also comment the... If anybody wants to follow along with the account that I'm testing Twitter integrations on. It's it's been kinda funny. You know, some of the things like, oh, shit. Alright. Well, we should fix that. Let's turn that off, and we'll turn it back on and see if that thing is fixed. And, you know, it's been it's been fun. And you'll... Dave, you will personally love the test account, and I think things will start to make sense and come full circle for you when you see the name of the test account. [0:12:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. Let's go. I love this stuff, man. Yo. See what I mean, guys? Like, there's people building some crazy shit out here. You will never know what's going on, Brad. Amazing, my brother. I wish you the best of luck. Let's go. Let's push that forward. Pin that, and, yeah, let's support. But let us jump into the stories of today. Of course, obviously, we're gonna have to go back and talk about this. There's been some market movements. We've kinda had a little bit down. Maybe, Landy, you wanna give us a not not the long twenty five minute version, but, like, you wanna give us, like, the one minute or two minute version of, like, where we're at currently Bitcoin wise? [0:12:43] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Sure. Above $96,000, all good in the hood. Likely gonna go up and test resistance around one zero one to one zero four eventually. If it does fall below, I'd expect its most recent lows to get ran again. The big area of interest is between 92 and, you could call it 89. It's it's actually $88,700, and it's been front running it for a while. But, you know, that's kind of the big zone of interest. If it starts to lose that area, then we're looking to mid, you know, mid to low eighties as a distinct possibility. Nothing really changes, though, in the longer term time frames. Like, monthly is still an uptrend. It would just, you know, possibly put in a high, and then we evaluate things from there. You know, it's... Anything above, like, a $100,000, essentially, it's really... The resistance is around a 101 to one zero four, and we keep deviating it and then getting dumped out. So they're baiting in people, buying at the highs, and then they're dumping it out. So... And when I say there, I'm not talking about market makers, by the way. I'm gonna have a educational post about market makers pretty soon because there's a lot of misconceptions and a lot of crazy stuff being said. And I got a lot of pushback for pushing back against the party party statements. So I I think it might be good to [0:13:57] Dave @DCBK2LA: Call in the reinforcements. I will back you up to the ends of the earth on all that nonsense, bro. Like, seriously. Like I'll [0:14:05] Landy @CryptoLandy: send you over what I'm gonna post. It's... I think I'm gonna make it an article, but nobody really reads articles. [0:14:09] Dave @DCBK2LA: Bro, it's these guys that... Yeah. Yeah. Hey, gamer. Hold on one second. Bro, it's these guy... I was literally gonna sound off on one of these other idiots yesterday that, like, posted some, like, Arkham fucking screenshots and was just like, look at this. Look what... What's it... Look look what they did. They went out... Wintermute went out, and they bought all this stuff from Coinbase and Binance only to just tank the market. And I'm just like, are you guys retarded? Like, do you... Like Yeah. Yeah. Cool. They drive me nuts. [0:14:34] Kool @koolcryptovc: There there... There's there's no there... There's no tweet today that went viral again, man. Another one. Unfortunately, it's on... It's just the way it is. Whenever you have a larger account, people tend to trust you even though that makes no sense, But that's what happened in... He make... Marty, pardon me, another tweet again today, blaming exchange again for the manipulation down, screenshots in the the the... Our commit... Intelligence screenshots again. Yeah. So it does... Unfortunately, wrong informations get spread out faster and people believe it and tweet it. It becomes viral, becomes the truth, and no one wants to hear anything else. So you've been outlanding. That'll be dope, bro. If you make a tweet like that. But you you you you gotta make it short, man. You can make it long. [0:15:17] Landy @CryptoLandy: No. This is gonna be And It'll be short [0:15:19] Kool @koolcryptovc: I'll push up. [0:15:20] Landy @CryptoLandy: It'll be short followed by... It'll be short, like, upfront. Like, here you go. You can read this and kinda... But... And underneath, it's gonna be a full on breakdown of what market makers do, the regulations. I'm gonna dive so deep that anybody can go back and use it as a reference. You wanna load up your AI bot to go have it explain to somebody else what's going on? They can [0:15:39] Dave @DCBK2LA: ask questions. Think I did? I literally saw that guy's thing. I I copied the link. I literally put it into Grok, and I said, Grok, please do me a favor and tell me exactly where in this tweet specifically this guy is factually incorrect. And then I gave it to the specific areas also to be like, make sure you highlight this. The guys that are out here saying, oh, CZ thinks he's gonna get away with this at Binance. And I'm like, what? Yeah. CZ hasn't been at Binance for two years. What are we talking about? [0:16:08] Landy @CryptoLandy: Bro. No. He's back. He's back. He's [0:16:11] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: he's out of he's out of jail, bro. [0:16:12] Dave @DCBK2LA: He's out of jail as if he's back. Like, we're back. The US government is Binance at this point, bro. There's no back. He kept his money. Be on your way, homie. That's it. And there's... And, like... But the explanation, it's like, just because you put a nice little fancy visual of Arkham, like, people are supposed to be like, oh, this is true. Bro, it's the dumbest thing I've ever read in my life. I couldn't believe what I was reading. Yeah. [0:16:33] Bread @_ToastMalone: But Dave, if [0:16:34] Landy @CryptoLandy: you don't mind, if I can if I can content farm like him just real quick here in this space, I have something really simple that I can show you, and you've probably seen and know. If you don't mind if I pin up a post that I literally just did. I don't know if you've seen it. Is that okay? [0:16:49] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah, bro. Of course. Cool. [0:16:51] Landy @CryptoLandy: Pin this up. For those in the audience that... As it's being pinned, all this is is it's the Bitcoin exchange reserves. It's all the exchanges. Right? And this is showing how the exchange reserves are literally tanking. Like, in the past couple of days, we've seen outflows of a couple 100,000, Bitcoin from exchanges. All the tweet says is while everyone is in a state of fear watching every micro movement in the market, the biggest players in the world are Bitcoin off exchanges in massive clips. That's really all you need to know. [0:17:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: That's it. It's literally the antithesis, the complete opposite of what these morons are screaming on the timeline. Like, literally. Bro Yep. There's a reason why Marty Party had me blocked for no apparent fucking reason. I literally turned around one day, and I'm like, why does this dude have me blocked? Because you know why? He was stealing my content from my page. That's what happens. Literally. And I'm like, dude, this guy's gotta be kidding me, bro. Like, the... It's jokesters like this, man, that people follow that are like, oh my god. Blah blah blah. Like, yo. Be smart, guys. Be really, really smart when you look at this stuff. Yeah. Check Landy's pin tweet at the top. Let's jump into some of the stories for today. Thanks, Landy. I appreciate it, man. Okay. Where we at? Elon Musk supporting US treasury transactions on the blockchain. I did not think we were gonna get this this early. There is no way that I thought it was gonna come this early. Cool. Do you see this news? What does this mean right now? Like, if we actually... If The US... I mean, because they're finding so much crazy shit with USAID. I mean, it is wild. Shrimp's on shrimp on treadmills, like we said yesterday, you know, trans parades in Serbia, and a trans opera, who knows where. But now Elon's like, yo. We're gonna put this shit on chain so you could see everything. Cool says, I don't wanna touch it. Landy, give [0:18:40] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: me your heart. Cardano. [0:18:42] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, Gamer, what's up? [0:18:44] Landy @CryptoLandy: Oh, Gamer. I I I heard your voice, and then I I don't see your speaker. What's up, Gamer? [0:18:50] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh, it's it's it's because I'm in the shadows. [0:18:54] Dave @DCBK2LA: Alright. Dramatic. Talk to me about treasury putting shit on chain. You think this is gonna happen anytime soon? [0:19:00] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Of course. It's Elon, man. Come on now. Yeah. I saw I saw that news, and you gotta ask yourself. Right? It's like, okay. Well, he didn't say which one. He just said put it on blockchain, but he didn't specify. Right? Elon, you know, being Elon. Right? And, but, I mean, come on. I mean... But but I highly unless they get the majority vote, right, I highly doubt that these corrupt politicians are gonna want our treasury on blockchain when... You know? How how are they gonna hide all their criminal activity? You know? They won't be able to. So, yeah, I I don't... Unless they come up with their own privatized blockchain, that's all... You know? Or or or maybe that's why they brought tornado cash back so they can use a mixer service for themselves. You know? Who knows? Right? [0:19:56] Dave @DCBK2LA: Interesting. Cool. We're talking about the US treasury. Elon being like he's all for putting The US... Putting on the US treasury transaction and the whole shit on the blockchain. I don't know if you saw the... I mean, people were up in arms on [0:20:07] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: this because of the... Like you said, this is the USAID stuff. Right? Like, all that dirty laundry is hitting the fan right now. I mean... And it's a lot, man. Like, it's it's a lot. Even even me reading through... Like, it was, like, a ledger of just tons and tons of just bullshit transact... I mean, some of that stuff made no damn sense, dude. It was like, I saw one. It was like, we sent $40,000,000 to build a gas station in Afghanistan that... And it and it never got built. It was like, wait. What? And and and this is what you... And and so you got... This is what you gotta ask yourself, Dave. Pay attention to the people who are... Who have are in governmental roles. Right? Essentially, politicians. Pay attention to the ones that are making the most noise about Elon. Right? Pay attention to that stuff. Because, because, you know, usually... You know? I don't know. I'm just using common sense here. Usually, the criminals who have shit to hide, right, and don't want people to find out something, they're the ones that are gonna be like, oh, don't don't listen to Elon. Don't trust what he says. Don't... Right, Chuck Schumer. [0:21:28] Dave @DCBK2LA: They were up in arms yesterday. I saw Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Elon Obama. [0:21:32] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Why did why did all those Democrats show up at the USAID office just to get fucking turned around and and and fucking told the... Told them off. He said, no. You ain't getting in here. You know? [0:21:42] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. [0:21:42] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: But think about that. Right? It's almost like like Jeffrey Epstein's list. Right? They should get a list of all the people, right, that are trying to cover this up and not let this shit get out because I'm pretty sure they have some kind of connection to this USAID fucking fake department where all this money laundering, essentially, that's what it is, people. When we send billions of dollars and nothing happens, that's called money laundering. You know? So you go to prison for that. Yeah. So... You know what I mean? So... [0:22:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: It's wild, bro. It's wild. Let me bring in... Cool. Cool. What do make of this whole treasury on chain? [0:22:23] Kool @koolcryptovc: No. No. No. No. I I saw that used earlier. Yeah. I... This is... It's taking my time, man. I've I've been you know, in... I'm basically... I live on in almost space now because I've... This this guy is unbelievable, man. This guy is very different. He's not he's not he's not normal. Someone that has this much money and to put his name and life safety on the line for us, bro. I don't think people understand how how beautiful what he's doing for us. Us meaning direct... The average person. Because imagine if he didn't buy Twitter, guys. I swear. Like, imagine if he had no Twitter. We would... We we will be living in North Korea or China right now, man, because they were trying to censor everyone, which they did. But they loved Elon Musk before. They loved him. Now he's the the the the the antichrist because anyone that speaks the truth is is an enemy, and they will kill you for this shit. And, I mean, that's what they do. But, yeah, man, I saw I saw this stuff. It's it's big news, man. I I don't know what blockchain would would would get this. There was rumors that it was supposed to be Movement Labs. I know Elon Musk's team, they met with a couple of blocks and projects. I don't know which which they didn't say. I'm assuming Movement Labs might be one of the top three on this list. But it's a beautiful thing, man. Yo. Everything they spend, everything they do is online on on the blockchain. And I think the the reason why is winning... Because you guys have to remember, he has, what, almost 350... 300,000,000 followers or something. So the news, everything he's doing, it puts it out in public. Everybody sees it. You cannot deny. You can't deny what he's doing. It's right there in front of you. And I think that it's a beautiful thing. Using Blockchain tech will be crazy. I just wish I knew which token, which blockchain he was using so I could buy it. But, yeah, man, I I... It's it's a great time to be alive, man. And my only fear, I swear, guys, I love what what he's doing. I I I love the the the the transparency, but we have four years of Trump, man. That's it. What happens when Trump leaves? That's why I'm I'm hoping these guys could make some shit into law. So I don't know. But I I I just don't like the fact that, you know, we we could enjoy next four years and make money and all that shit. But if... What what happens four years from now and the democrats get back again and they flip shit upside down again, and undo all the good things that have been done because, man, this U... USAID stuff, it's... So it's... You know, look, guys. I'm I'm I'm Nigerian. I I live in The US. I was born here, whatever, but I've traveled the world. I've I've seen some shit. Guys, The US has been talking about corruption in other countries for decades, man. US government is so corrupt, guys. It's it's... It is it is so sickening, and I'm I'm tired of of of how corrupt they are. And this, you know, Moscow is exposing them for their corruption. And I am afraid for this guy's life, man, because the... When when when when I was a kid, there there was some young guy, whatever. Actually, my dad's friend, Delek Gewar, that's his name. He he ran a a news network. They sent a a freaking bomb to his house. It blew it killed him. It blew it blew him up because he was re... We we... It was it was he was releasing information about the president, saying the president was moving drugs and all this shit, which is true, but you can't do that kind of stuff. You can't you can't... Look. People people... You you could you could be you could be exposed. Right? But people hate being exposed with their corruption. If you hurt their money, they will come after you. So that's my only fear. It's two two fears. It's the safety of Elon Musk and his team and the people trying to make this change. Plus plus four years from now, what happens? And that's it. [0:26:48] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. It's gonna be a... There's gonna be some wild, wild stuff coming up in the very near future. I did not think that we were gonna get this... We were gonna even be having this conversation, like, you know, weeks after inauguration. You know what I mean? Like, we remember we were talking about a few spaces ago. We were literally talking about, like, oh, he's got four years to put, like, the voting system on the blockchain, and it's just like, holy shit. Like, they're already talking about putting treasury transactions, but, like, this is what the chain... This is what the blockchain was lit... This is the... You don't have a more perfect use case than this right here. Right? But here's my question to you guys, and I... And I'm genuinely asking this question because there's a lot of things that we don't know that goes on in order to potentially keep a country, quote, safe. Right? And I know that this seems like it's absolutely outlandish and crazy, but do you think that there is any part of it that at some point we're, like, you kinda gotta let some of this stuff kinda slide? And I'm I'm literally just asking that question because, like, these payments, I get. Like, a little... That's a little wild. Like, shrimp on a freaking treadmill is a little crazy. But there's probably a million other NGOs that are out there that we're looking at, and we're saying, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Put it on chain. Put it on chain. But is there stuff that also shouldn't go on chain, you think? [0:28:08] Landy @CryptoLandy: No. Everything should be on chain. Tear the whole damn system down. That's what he's there to do. He's doing his job well. And now he's, indicating that he's going to turn his eye to the IRS. Look. USAID was a CIA front for money laundering, and it has been for a very long time, specifically, aiming most of those funds towards one party in our two party system here. And, you know, for a while, it was both parties, and then it became one party. And what changed was Trump in his first term. USAID helped fund some of the gnarliest programs that have gone after us as US citizens, went after Trump as president and then as a former president, and have been behind some of the nastiest money laundering schemes that we've seen in a very long time. You've got African countries now coming out and saying, hey. There's been millions and millions of dollars. Here's the audit from our side of things. Glad to glad to share it with you kinda thing. So, you know, catching his attention here on x has been kinda crazy. You know? And one of the, you know, they... USAID was also one of the primary fundraisers for George Soros and now Alex Soros. You know, when everybody talks about the Soros funds, well, where are they getting it from? Were they spending their personal treasuries? No. They were getting funds and and running it through all these various NGO groups. And it's about damn time that these people get it... Get taken down. And that means that you also have to shut the door, turn off the lights, and then monitor everything they do from here because they'll reform, like Voltron, somewhere else to try and do other things. So these kinds of things are not easy to to to take down and take apart, but he's making it look easy. The hard part is after you're going through all of this. And he's gonna continue. Like, he's he's the... He's Washington DC's wrecking ball. The big... The biggest hammer they've ever seen come through Washington DC, and there's legit people who are scared. And they should be. [0:30:11] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh, and just to further that point, Landy, I threw up on the jumbotron exactly what you just said about Politico. First time ever a company... Basically, they're not paying their people because they found out that a news company, Politico, spent the last ten years trying to destroy the MAGA movement was funded by, guess who, USAID. So that's, you know [0:30:39] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. [0:30:39] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Just basically what you were talking about, Landy. [0:30:41] Dave @DCBK2LA: $8,000,000 I saw... Bro, the the trail probably goes so much, like, I mean, so much deeper. You know what I mean? Like, this is just the tip. Imagine if they're looking at this. Like, imagine if they start looking at other... Like, imagine what the Pentagon looks like. Right? Obviously, like, if you start opening up the treasury books, it's like, well, who do we write checks to? And this is not like it's some foreign thing, just so everybody is aware of. Right? And, like, the reason we're talking about this is because this does have a direct effect, like, on crypto. Because if Elon is putting... Is going to put this stuff on chain, that is going to literally put crypto... I mean, blockchain in the direct spotlight. Right? Whether it's Bitcoin, Ethereum, whatever. Right? Like, this is it. Like, they're literally finding corruption at its core. They're rooting it out, and they're doing it in days. There's not even weeks and months. Like, what they're finding every single day is absolutely crazy. Now Bro, well Yeah. [0:31:33] Kool @koolcryptovc: They having kids... Young kids. Yeah. What... The devs that that that work in a month. They're 19 years old. 19, 20. They're sleeping at the White House, man. Yeah. They're working twenty four seven to get this uncovered, man. It's crazy. [0:31:46] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. And I and I read this morning also how Trump structured this whole Doge thing. He didn't start a new agency, just for everybody that's wondering. Right? Because they're like, oh, they're probably gonna sue him now. They're gonna be like, oh, you can't start a new agency. That's like... You know, you're overextending your reach in the executive branch. No. No. No. My man did none of that. He literally went back. He found an old Obama fucking agency and was like, you know what? This agent, forgot what it was called, but it was literally meant to be, like, to improve the technology of The United States. And he was like, cool. I'm just gonna build on this. And that's all he did. But, of course, like, the lawsuit came today. They're definitely trying to sue him for it, but I don't think that's gonna get anywhere because he lit... Bro, my man is so slick. He saw this thing. Like, he see... While everyone's seeing one or two steps, he's literally looking 10 to 20 steps ahead, and he's genuinely, like, ready. Like, he's ready for all of this. So this leads into the next article. Right? Like, the next piece of news when you look at... On the regulatory front, the FDIC. Right? Obviously, everybody knows the FDIC. You put your money in a bank. Hopefully, you're protected. Last year... Year and a half ago with Silicon Valley, we weren't really sure, but here's essentially what they said now with the new cryptos are. The FDIC, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, plans to revise bank guidelines for crypto aiming to allow banks to embark on some crypto activities without getting regulatory permission first. Some banks have met with government officials to push for offering custody of crypto assets along with, quote, tokenized deposits that could put some checking accounts on blockchains according to a person familiar with the matter. This was put out by by Barron's. That's... In my opinion, that's even crazier when you think about it. Right? Because it's like, this is how fast they wanna move. And they're saying if we're gonna move fast, look. You might not need regulatory permission because they're all about deregulation, but we want tokenized deposits so that we can see it on chain and know because, like, that's the source of truth at the end of the day. Right? Like, we're going to see every dollar that you take in has to go on chain. We don't need to come and send in auditors and and take your word for this or that. No. Everything is going to be on chain. This is gonna transform the way everybody does business right now. Cool. Do you see this news about FDIC? Yeah. I did I [0:33:59] Kool @koolcryptovc: did see it, earlier today too. It's it's a big deal, man. All this stuff is happening because, of course, the the the the guys at SSC are different now. The guys at FDIC are different. New people are coming in that are allowing this to happen. And I think the reason why they're pushing it this fast is because they don't they don't wanna wait until four four years from now. They wanna get everything done now before... Because whenever four years from now comes, it's it's not it's not guaranteed that we have a republican back in power again. So I think they're trying to get this shit done as quick as possible. Plus, it's also driven by by Larry Fink, the CEO of of BlackRock, because they wanna talk... Tokenize everything. They wanted to get this shit done now in this environment, which which is almost like they're trying to get everything done, and maybe they'll regulate it properly later. But, you know, that's why a lot of US devs and founders are moving back to the... Back to US. But, yeah, this is this is huge, man. F... FDIC and crypto, the... It's... You you... We we can't do anything without FDIC. If you really want crypto to go mainstream, you need SDC on your side. You need FDIC on your side. You need all these banking institution on your side if you wanna take this shit truly mainstream. And so I'm... This this is just the beginning, guys, and I just hope they get everything done before four years from now. Mean, I I really hope so. [0:35:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I mean, we don't gotta, like like, you know, beat a dead horse at the end of the day, but they also reassigned 50 different SEC lawyers depending on their cases. They were like, look. Like, enough of this. Right? Like... So they're getting rid of the whole legislation by... What is it? Why do I always forget the second word? By enforcement. Yeah. Exactly. They're getting rid of that completely. So at least they're looking, like, to... They're they're taking the steps for much, much, much more clarity. So, yeah, it's gonna be interesting to watch this this entire thing unfold, man. It is great. All... My whole feed today is just, like, more political. Like like, what's happening, like, on on that side? What else we got cooking? Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Yeah. This stuff, I feel like we... Like, we're gonna murder this this stuff. Right? Like, we just kinda gotta let Trump do what he's doing. You know what I mean? And kinda just just [0:36:25] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: just go from there. [0:36:27] Dave @DCBK2LA: Cool. I did see some other news. I saw DeFi Lama has now officially put an airdrop checker on their page. I don't know if you guys saw this, but, hopefully, I will never miss another airdrop in my life again. But have you used this? Something that's valuable? I'll pin it to the top so people can see. [0:36:43] Kool @koolcryptovc: No. No. That's good. That's good. It's good. I think that's good. A lot of people leave a lot of money on the table. I'm sure Dave has told his story. There was a big airdrop today. A lot of you celebrated. I probably... I got something. I haven't checked it. I don't know. Who cares? But there's a lot of money still being made in crypto airdrops. So one of the best ways for people to to get access to liquidity. But, yeah, AirDrop for bearishain, AirDrop checker came out today. The AirDrop launch is tomorrow. They're talking... Drop is tomorrow, which is awesome. I saw an account claim. They $1,500,000 on on NFTs or VeriChain, and they they airdrop right now is currently worth $30,000,000. So I fucking love crypto. I love airdrops, man. That... That's just a game. It... It's it's... The game for 2025 is different now when it comes to making money from these early projects. I think ICO seasons back in a weird way, in a different way. You'll buy NFTs. Like, for example, Mega ETH is launching a a a big project, raised probably couple of 100,000,000 or whatever. They launched NFT collection probably this week or next week. [0:37:59] Dave @DCBK2LA: I saw that. [0:38:01] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. They launched a 10,000 collection. Each NFT cost 1 EK. So what... What's happening now is... And they're gonna give 5% of of the total supply to those 10,000 holders, man. So the game is changing now. You need to have skin in the game. The more money you spend on chain, the more rewards you get or the more active you are. For example, today, rewarded people three, 400 tokens just by tweeting about them. If you tweet tweet about bear chain, you got, like, five, 600 tokens. Yes. Yeah. So, you know, crypto is different now, but just move move with the vibe, man. When it changes, adjust adjust the strategy, and you do well. [0:38:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: Interesting. You guys following it? Use... Lindy, use any of these... Hey, Lindy. The good news is that DeFi Llama covers stacks. We're not the redheaded stepchild anymore. So... I mean, not that we get any airdrops from stacks, but whatever. [0:39:00] Landy @CryptoLandy: Well, I mean, I I think this is cool. You know, it's EVM and, and Solana addresses right now. So, definitely go and check. I think that that's a a good place. I I wish there was, like, an automated way where you could just have a... Like, somebody will create something like a website checker that will automatically keep checking and notify you or something at some point. Right now, you have to click on it, and you gotta enter your address each time to check. But, you know, day by day, maybe maybe go and check until somebody builds something to automatically check it. That's that's pretty cool. I'm glad that they built out the back end for something like that because I have definitely left a lot on the table that I didn't realize I qualified for. And I have I have too many wallets. Let's just put it that way. When you have too many wallets, it becomes a real chore to actually check everything. And, you know, for the major airdrops, like the magic Eden, the Jupiter's of the world, and, like, all of the rest, like, I'll go through it, and I will diligently check it all myself. But in most cases, I don't wanna be bothered. So I think, like, I'd like to see an advancement to that. I think it's nice to have. Now people gotta go use it, see what they qualify for. You mentioned Barichain. Cool. That's launching tomorrow. Correct? [0:40:20] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yes. Yes. The the the Edge of Checkout is is live today, but actual token launch is tomorrow. Yeah. [0:40:26] Landy @CryptoLandy: Awesome. And that's gonna be a big one. I'm really interested in their chain. I've got some friends working on stuff over there. So that's... You know, liquidity is the problem in this space. I think we talked about this yesterday, but this is really cool stuff. I... Hey. I don't know if you all just saw, but, apparently, RFK junior has been confirmed as [0:40:46] Dave @DCBK2LA: of last twelve minutes. [0:40:48] Kool @koolcryptovc: That's beautiful, man. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. That's beautiful. Great. [0:40:54] Landy @CryptoLandy: Good stuff. [0:40:54] Bread @_ToastMalone: Hey. Can I ask a real? Like a like a question that, like, don't know, maybe I'll get poo pooed on for. But, like, does like, does RFK have Parkinson's or something? Like, what... Like, his communication skills are, you know, less than... [0:41:06] Landy @CryptoLandy: Dysphonia. Dysphonia is what he has. It's... [0:41:10] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Yeah. He he actually has a a medical condition that affects his vocal cords, and that's why he sounds like that. [0:41:17] Bread @_ToastMalone: Okay. Yeah. Because I see him, and he... Like, he's he's not, you know, like, a little shaky too. That's why I was wondering about Parkinson's possibly. [0:41:24] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: No. That that should... That... That's an actual medical condition. You can look it up. He... He's real open about it too. I mean, he's pretty much said multiple times that that's a real medical condition. He's not just making, you know, making stuff up. And and and and, yeah, I've I've seen some dumb stuff. Like, oh my... Like, someone said, like, oh, like, how many cigarettes you have to smoke to sound like that? And, you know, just just people being ignorant, essentially. You know? Like, it's it's it's almost... It's a medical condition. You know what I mean? Like, there's nothing you can do about it. So Call [0:41:58] Landy @CryptoLandy: back to Judy from yesterday. Right? [0:42:00] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Yeah. I'm not... Yeah. I'm not... [0:42:02] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: I'm I don't see. You know, Judy, he loves the Julie's guys. [0:42:11] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh, but but speaking of which, though, since you guys brought up, RFK junior. So we've seen what Elon has done, right, with Doge. Next, what you're gonna see hit your timeline is what RFK junior is gonna do when he exposes the health crisis, the... All the medical stuff. Right? When he actually exposes all these pharmaceutical companies that are putting toxin and basically poison into our food supply, you know, waiting till he starts getting into that stuff. Right? That's gonna get juicy too. So, you know, we're we're just getting warmed up here with Elon. But when when RFK starts going after all the big pharma companies, he... He's gonna need security detail, because, you know, big pharma is kinda known for, taking people out. [0:43:02] Landy @CryptoLandy: They can put... Everything we've seen to this point is just the trailer before the movie. [0:43:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. They can take Fauci's detail that they... That Trump removed off of Fauci and put it on to fucking RFK. He'll be good. Fauci's gotta fend for himself now. [0:43:14] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: But but wait, Dave. Little fun. But he has a pardon. He has a pardon even though he's never... Hasn't been charged with it. [0:43:19] Dave @DCBK2LA: That's... Hey. Listen. That's okay for now, but we're not getting... We're having done that. [0:43:22] Kool @koolcryptovc: So so I I I saw a report about the partying. That doesn't mean anything. The partying doesn't stop him from going to prison, bro. No. No. No. No. No. The the party is a partying, but doesn't... If they really want to to get them, they'll get them for sure. And now No. [0:43:36] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: But cool. Cool. No. But cool. The the the point is you can't pardon someone who has not been charged. And and so this this is this is the kicker. Right? It's almost like Biden thought he was helping his his buddies. Right? His his... Well, essentially, family. Right? The past ten years. Right? But, see, the the thing is no one's charged Fauci with anything. So it's almost like you you just put... You just you just printed a target, a bull's eye target on him now where it's like, oh. [0:44:11] Landy @CryptoLandy: Put on your conspiracy theory hat because what if he did pardon him from possible military tribunal? Because that was a speculation that was floated out there by crazy conspiracy theorists on the Internet that all of a sudden you started to see... Catch traction on some mainstream media with a few mainstream media hosts speculate, like, well, you can't pardon someone that hasn't been charged because you can't pardon them for things that they might be charged with in the future. So what do we not know about? And I wonder if we'll ever find out. Right? [0:44:45] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Wasn't that a movie? Wasn't that Tom Cruise? [0:44:48] Dave @DCBK2LA: They're all movies, bro. What do you think they get this No. [0:44:50] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: No. No. No. But, like, they were they were, like, like, putting people away for it. [0:44:54] MAR @MARx24x: You you can't pardon somebody that hasn't been charged. [0:44:58] Dave @DCBK2LA: But he did date it and dated it back to 2014. So there you go. It's like, hey. Listen. I'm gonna try and pad this as best I can. You haven't been charged with anything, but I'm gonna try and preemptively protect you for doing the dumb shit that I asked you to do. [0:45:11] MAR @MARx24x: It it sucks, but these people do whatever the fuck they want, bro. [0:45:15] Dave @DCBK2LA: Not anymore. Pretty much. Not anymore. Well, yeah, not anymore. [0:45:19] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Well, not anymore. Yep. [0:45:20] MAR @MARx24x: Not anymore. But, yeah, man, they... It was it sucks. It's... That's the same thing I asked myself. This motherfucker hasn't been charged with anything. How could he be pardoned? And my my friend here that's studying all this shit, he goes, yeah. [0:45:36] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Yeah. [0:45:36] Landy @CryptoLandy: Okay. Just to destroy the IRS, please. [0:45:39] MAR @MARx24x: I let you guys know... Sorry for the bad news, but Binance is moving BTC to winter to winter meal. [0:45:51] Dave @DCBK2LA: So Oh, no. [0:45:52] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Yeah, bro. Yo. [0:45:55] Landy @CryptoLandy: Can't. I can't anymore. [0:45:58] Dave @DCBK2LA: You're hurting? I can't. [0:46:00] Landy @CryptoLandy: I'm scared. They can stop. Bro. [0:46:02] Dave @DCBK2LA: Make it. [0:46:03] Landy @CryptoLandy: They're literally they're literally putting out... And people are perpetuating this. Meanwhile, they're just [0:46:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: ripping this. [0:46:08] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh my god. Yeah. [0:46:14] Dave @DCBK2LA: You need to put that tweet out ASAP, please. [0:46:17] Landy @CryptoLandy: Bid ask spreads? What's that? [0:46:19] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. What? Market makers, how do they make money? No. I'm not gonna ask that question. Mar, I appreciate you, bro, but don't don't go preaching the Marty party gospel. Be careful, bro. That shoulda get you. [0:46:28] MAR @MARx24x: No. No. No. It's it's it's not gonna be bad. I don't think it's gonna be bad. [0:46:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. It's... This doesn't exist. How about that? I just... It doesn't exist, bro. I'm I'm telling you. [0:46:37] MAR @MARx24x: But but the thing is, even if it's not real, [0:46:40] Dave @DCBK2LA: it it it causes panic. [0:46:41] MAR @MARx24x: You get what I'm saying? [0:46:42] Dave @DCBK2LA: Exactly. Which is why it's a fucking problem from the the momos that are out here freaking posting it on the timeline, and it's getting literally, like, millions of, like, post retweets, impressions, the whole nine yards. And you're like, oh, this seems good. Listen to me. Marty Party and the rest of these idiots have no clue. Bring Marty Party in here, and we will dismantle this dude literally bit by bit, piece by piece. He knows nothing of what he's talking about. I cannot be more emphatic with this shit. [0:47:11] MAR @MARx24x: Yeah. Who's that? What are what are you saying? Which one? Marty Party. Alright. [0:47:15] Dave @DCBK2LA: You know the guy whose space when [0:47:16] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: you go [0:47:16] Dave @DCBK2LA: into and he's got casino sounds in the background like Yeah. Like, you just hit the jackpot? Fucking No. [0:47:22] MAR @MARx24x: No. I just... I have a little group, and my friends are like, here we go again. The fucking gossip with this bullshit, [0:47:28] Dave @DCBK2LA: and Bro. Here we go. Don't listen to none of [0:47:30] Kool @koolcryptovc: that nonsense, bro. [0:47:31] Dave @DCBK2LA: None of it. It's all nonsense. Absolute utter nonsense. Anyways, alright. What else we got cooking over here? Listen. What do... Like, maybe we go around kinda guys. Give me your take, like, because I'm looking at new stuff. Nothing really, like, too crazy or too intricate, but let's talk about, like, what do we look like? What are you guys seeing in the markets? Are you guys making any moves right now? I put a little bit more money. I staked away. I'm heavy, obviously, on the AI agents. This AIXCB shit, bro, like, I'm literally accumulating, accumulating, and accumulating, like, a ton of, like... I mean, I'm staking for ninety days. I put a little bit for a hundred and eighty days, and I never do that, by the way, ever, ever, ever. Right? Like, I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring in crypto. So I'm just like, I'm holding on to my shit. But I've genuinely seen... I've spoken to these founders. I've literally had them on spaces. I know what they're doing. They're super transparent. They give back, like, times of, like, market turmoil. So for me, and full disclosure, I do own a ton of AIXCB, AIXBT, as well as, like, the Vader agents that are built on virtual. So take this with a grain of salt. Right? I do have a position in these. But, bro, I'm literally looking at them at a... I sold them at a penny and 0.5 a few days ago, and I'm just like, this is this is no brainer stuff for me right now. Vader went from a penny and 0.5 to 3.5¢. Right? So there's, like, a 2 and a half x already, and they're generating literally more and more tokens. You could see in the staking platform that you earn a certain percentage of every single holding in the investment DAO. I feel like this is something that's being totally slept on on the investment DAO side, but that's kinda really where my focus honestly, like, has been. And I'm also stacking. I'm finally stacking on Hermetica for those ridiculous yields. I'm taking my USDH, obviously, on stacks. I'm putting my shit over there, and I doubled down on another AI platform... Like, builder platform called Lay. It's called Loom Lay. Super simple. Plug ins make it mad, easy to actually, like, launch your shit. It's so much easier, but kinda curious. What else are you guys seeing? Like, what do you guys got cooking? Cool. Anything that's standing out on your timeline? I know you obviously there's some airdrop season coming up. [0:49:36] Kool @koolcryptovc: Not yet. Yes. So I've been buying Ethereum. The sentiment is down. It's bad. Everybody hates ETH. I saw reports of whales are buying more ETH than usual, and smaller holders have kinda moved on, so I'm buying a lot of Ethereum. Looking at Ethereum Ethereum meme coins, same same thing. I think... And those... The sentiment has been down for so long on ETH. It's taking a beating, and I think that recovery is doing very, very nice. Plus, of course, the the NFT game is still there. I'm gonna still accumulate the NFTs, you know, for for the cycle still. But not just any NFTs. I only I only buy NFTs associated with projects that do airdrops. Right? For example, Mantra. Mantra is a RW project right now that's been... That's taken over crypto by storm, and they have a NFT collection called called Omies. It's at a, like, a 50, 60% discount right now. I do recommend people trying to get that shit if you can. But apart from that, have a couple of other projects, and I'm looking at airdrop wise. But 2025, a lot of new tokens that come... Coming on the market soon. I think Eclipse coming soon. The the Barry change tomorrow. You have a story protocol. The IP blockchain is coming out probably this year too. I'm sorry. This month... Probably this month. Monad test that's coming out soon. But, yeah, I'm just paying attention to new projects that are raising money, man. And as long as the... These VCs are raising money, there's no bandwagon, man. Guys, don't let the prices fool you. You you should be actively finding something, man. As long as VCs are raising money, which they are, 20,000,000, $4,080,000,000, it doesn't stop that. It hasn't slowed down yet. As long as that's the case, there's no bear market in in my opinion, but that's not what I'm doing right now. [0:51:39] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Yeah. Cool. Are you talking about Metrodal? [0:51:43] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yes. Yes. The match... Yep. Yep. [0:51:44] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh my goodness, man. That brings back some memories, Landy? It's funny that that people are are now talking about them. I was actually there when they first launched, and they botched it. Essentially, the reason why I gave them a cold shoulder is because I was there for... When they first launched their project. And, basically, it all went to insiders. And the community got pissed off, and a bunch of us just left. I mean, I just fucking dropped all my stuff. So, you you know, this is years ago. So so that's why when you said it, I was like, oh my god. They're still around? [0:52:24] Kool @koolcryptovc: Bro, bro. They they they they need... They're probably best performing asset in the past one month. This shit went from point one to almost 6 to $6 in one year. They've outperformed everything. And right now, they've been trending for the past... They've been trending on CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, everyone on the timeline for the past, like, two, three months, bro. They just they just... They... Right now, I think they're top 20 right now. Top... Yeah. Top 20. Mantra about Thanks. [0:52:54] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Top 20. Thanks, for thanks, Cool, for letting me know because my, you know, my early seed round was, like, double o one or triple o one. So thanks for letting me know. You know, I missed missed another one. But... Oh, also, threw up top on the Jumbotron. Basically, like, what Landy was talking about earlier about the supply shock, so it looks like 34,466 Bitcoin were withdrawn from exchanges today. And that goes along with what Landy was talking about earlier, you know, about just massive withdrawals, you know, getting off the exchanges. So when you put that into the conversion, as you can see, that's $3,320,000,000 that just left the exchanges in one day. So there's definitely a big...... Alpha gamer. But alpha gamer, [0:53:52] Landy @CryptoLandy: it's all going to winter mute to dump on our heads. Remember?... [0:53:55] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Man. And that's what the [0:53:56] Landy @CryptoLandy: gold... I heard it from Marty Party. [0:53:58] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh my [0:53:59] Landy @CryptoLandy: preeminent source of truth in this space. [0:54:02] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: So Obviously. Oh, you guys Yeah. [0:54:06] Landy @CryptoLandy: By the way, everybody, I'm joking. This is bullish as as f, as they say, alpha gamer. Right. So so...... Quantifying it. [0:54:15] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Yeah. And and, again, this is why ignore the the noise, ignore the distractions. Right? Everyone's so focused on price, but they're... You gotta look at the whole picture. You can't just look at the price. You gotta look at everything that's surrounding it. Right? The hash rate. Why is the hash rate at all time high? What does that mean? How does that affect the miners? How does that affect oh, go ahead. [0:54:42] Landy @CryptoLandy: Gamer? I gotta stop you there. The hash rate means that it's gonna be really expensive to mine Bitcoin, and it's eventually gonna fail courtesy of an argument that I got into with a bunch of Maxis the other day of a very specific chain that shortly after they argued with me, their network went down. So, maybe they should've Oh, is [0:55:00] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: that is that why is that why [0:55:02] Landy @CryptoLandy: asking me how many validations [0:55:03] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: arguing against you? Listen. Do not [0:55:05] Dave @DCBK2LA: But she said a 100 XRP army fund this way. [0:55:08] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh, wow. Guess either on this program. Okay? I'm like, I'm Hey. Wait. Wait. [0:55:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: So inspiration. We love it. [0:55:15] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Is that why Winters came up? Because she was one of the people arguing with you, Landy? [0:55:19] Landy @CryptoLandy: No. No. No. See, I run validators, and I saw it go down. I was like, oh, isn't that funny? Yeah. But It's not... I don't own the validator. [0:55:26] Voice G: Remember what [0:55:26] Dave @DCBK2LA: we said yesterday. Right? Remember when we were all laughing about Solana and be like, Solana. I know. And now where's everybody running to? Because they're doing literally record breaking dollars on deck... On their decks. I'm just [0:55:38] Landy @CryptoLandy: saying Yes. It's amazing. No. No. No. It's amazing what's happening over there. But but when they were telling me that, you know, that that that... What they were specifically saying for that to happen was pretty ironic. And, you know, I hold a bunch of XRP. I'm also... I'm not gonna show, but I hold a a specific token and project over there that I I freaking love. The person behind the account that comes in and has some some music and some, some sounds and some knowledge to drop when they come in, but I'm not gonna show. They could show some [0:56:09] Dave @DCBK2LA: And, Wiges, I'm coming to you right now. Just so everybody knows, I'm running a space next week on AI agents built on the XRPL, ladies and gentlemen, and this is a base fucking team. Like, I... I've known this team for a minute. So this is the shit that's gonna cook right now. So if y'all are smart, tune in, turn your notice off for your boy because it's gonna [0:56:32] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: be hearing is what I'm hearing is Joony holders are gonna be included in that? Yeah. Is that what I'm hearing? [0:56:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: Do you think I'm sleeping on Joony? Relax. I'm telling you the buyback. Have you seen the buyback, bro? [0:56:42] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: So so I can relax with with my, you know, couple million Yeah. Joony? [0:56:46] Landy @CryptoLandy: I probably dearestended long ago, so I've already been living with [0:56:50] Dave @DCBK2LA: Shout out to the Galactic Federation. Alright. Let's go. [0:56:52] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: We're we're blabbing too much. Yeah. Witters. [0:56:54] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Shut it. Witters, welcome. [0:56:57] Whitters @whitterss: Hi. Thanks, guys. No. I'm not here to argue. I actually wanted to share in the sentiment of, like, what's, like, what Alpha was saying with the macro and, like, currencies leaving exchanges. The federal at... Oh god. I'm gonna butcher this. It's like the federal Reserve's reverse repo. There's too many r there. They hit their lowest inventory in four years. And so, like, it... I think, like, for the, you know, your, like, trading bros, they call it the loop less, like, reckoning. And where, like, you... It just comes out fucking nowhere, and you have no time to prepare. And... But, I mean, it could be, like, the the lube less euphoria. I don't know. [0:57:54] Dave @DCBK2LA: Lube less euphoria. What is happening, Witters? [0:57:56] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: I don't that's like... That's what we call Dave. Yeah. That's what the slang. That's what it's called. That's the slang when they get this up. [0:58:03] Landy @CryptoLandy: The reverse repo numbers are way down. [0:58:05] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Yeah. That's what they call it. [0:58:07] Dave @DCBK2LA: Lube list. [0:58:08] Landy @CryptoLandy: If you got no lube, you'll [0:58:09] Dave @DCBK2LA: be like Yeah. [0:58:09] Landy @CryptoLandy: Lube gonna grind gears now. [0:58:11] Whitters @whitterss: I swear I didn't make up that term. [0:58:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. I I doubt that you did, but you're good with her. [0:58:16] Landy @CryptoLandy: It's an alpha gamer term if I ever heard one. [0:58:18] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Real quick. Woah. Let me Woah. Yeah. And don't It's not like that. I [0:58:21] Kool @koolcryptovc: meant to [0:58:22] Dave @DCBK2LA: see you Listen. Do not call him alpha. Okay? His name is alpha gamer. He doesn't share the alpha with us. He just comes in to brag about it in this space. Okay? So let's call him by his proper name. Okay? When he starts sharing the alpha with us, then we can, like, you know, put up a petition to be like, oh, let's rename. Like He's just gamer. You hear him, I call him gamer because I leave the alpha out specifically, but winners anyways. But let me say what's up to b k real quick. B k, what's good, bro? And then we're gonna we're gonna say what's up to Alex. [0:58:48] Voice G: Oh, I just got back from from Target with my daughter. She wanted some sour cream and onion chips. [0:58:55] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, good time.... [0:58:56] Voice G: She loves. [0:58:57] Kool @koolcryptovc: Good time. Yeah. [0:58:58] Voice G: No doubt. [0:58:59] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Bed Bath and [0:58:59] Dave @DCBK2LA: Beyond? Home Depot? [0:59:03] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: They don't have a... Bath and Beyond in [0:59:05] Voice G: the morning.... Saturday. We're gonna have a great Saturday morning. [0:59:07] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Home Depot.... Enough time. It's not enough time. [0:59:10] Voice G: Yeah. No doubt. Yo. I'm I'm trying to tell you guys, man. I'm trying to tell you guys. [0:59:16] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Ear models. [0:59:16] Voice G: Stock options. Stock options. Stock freaking options. We're seeing, like, 10,000, 20000% movements. Like, it's ridiculous. The quantums... All the quantums just went up crazy. I mean, they they actually went up, came back down, went back up, came back down, and the options game is ridiculous. I'm trying to get some people over on on that side of the things. You like gambling? Oh, baby. It's gambling. It's gambling. There is tons of action over there. And you could trade your favorites like Coinbase. You know? Like, even Coinbase at one point, there was, like, a 8,000 movement in Coinbase options.... [1:00:07] Landy @CryptoLandy: Insane, bro. [1:00:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: You're gonna hit us with the referral link next? Like, what what... What's the deal? [1:00:11] Landy @CryptoLandy: Where should I go to? Oh, well, I'll I'll hit you with [1:00:14] Voice G: the alpha. Don't use Robinhood. I I can definitely say that. Yeah. Don't use Robinhood for what they did with, GameStop. For people with short term memory, they didn't allow people to train GameStop because they said, it's in your best interest. And meanwhile, all the hedge funds are getting wrecked. They were get... It was so sweet to see these guys crying on CNBC. I can't believe they did this to us. They manipulated us. It's like, bro, that's what you guys have been doing since the dawn of the the time. [1:00:46] Kool @koolcryptovc: Like [1:00:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: BK Vlad got the phone call from big daddy Ken or the little little daddy Ken in this instance from Sydney. I was like, hey. Listen. Yep. Better she gonna shut them goddamn buy orders off until we're done. [1:00:57] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: You understand? That's what they did. [1:01:00] Voice G: What they did. That's exactly what they did. And and and people, you know, on stock twits and stuff still like, oh, I'm I'm getting Robin Hood. It's like, what do you... Like, at what point?... [1:01:10] Landy @CryptoLandy: Forget. Right? [1:01:11] Voice G: Yeah. Like...... [1:01:12] Landy @CryptoLandy: Memory of of of ants here. Well, actually, have pretty good memories, I guess. [1:01:17] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Well, even goldfish.... [1:01:18] Landy @CryptoLandy: Better. Goldfish. Yeah. [1:01:21] Voice G: And the attention span is less than goldfish now. But... Yeah. I'm I'm trying to tell [1:01:25] Landy @CryptoLandy: you, like...... Fun. [1:01:28] Voice G: Exactly, dude. It's it's just like... You know what this space reminds me of? Ray Liotta at the end of Goodfellas, and I'll leave it right there. [1:01:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: Now you're talking, bro. Let's go. Yes. Alex, the best reference ever. For those that don't know, go watch Goodfellas. I've seen it literally a 50... Probably 50,000 times. But, Alex, what's up? [1:01:52] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: Hey, man. You know I came up to talk about those reverse repo markets. It's hard [1:01:58] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: working. Hey. It's Alex. It's me. Hi. Can explain to the... Can you explain what the loop less means? [1:02:05] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. [1:02:06] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: But but you gotta wait a minute because I am getting bagels and apples for my kid first. So you gotta wait a minute. I'm, like, literally sitting here. I got a half cup. Responsible parents. [1:02:21] Voice G: So hold on. Let me [1:02:22] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: do that first. [1:02:22] Landy @CryptoLandy: It was bagel time last time too. It's always been bagel time around this time of [1:02:27] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: do this right after my kid comes home from school. Guess what she likes after school? [1:02:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: Listen. Take all [1:02:34] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: the time. Listen. [1:02:35] Dave @DCBK2LA: Take all the... Listen. Take all the time you need because last time, you and Landy literally went for twenty six minutes to close out the show. I mean, I... It was... I love you guys. You know? But twenty six minutes. God. I just couldn't... I didn't have the heart to stop it because I was just so tired. But... Yeah. Yeah. All the bagel chips you want, we'll get a little bit closer. [1:02:55] Voice G: So that'll be it. [1:02:56] Dave @DCBK2LA: Crypto and You want? [1:02:56] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: Crypto, Andy, and I are freaking gold. Shut up, man. [1:03:00] Dave @DCBK2LA: You are. If you can only get, you fuckers, some fucking [1:03:02] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: He likes some [1:03:03] Dave @DCBK2LA: shiny silver. You you [1:03:05] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: tell him, Alex. You Oh my god. In his place. [1:03:07] Landy @CryptoLandy: Hello. Do not know. [1:03:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: Like, he is really still there. Yeah. He's still here. He's still here. Guys, two minutes or less. Give us bite sized stuff, and keep us more in tune with what you guys have to say. Trust me. Promise. [1:03:20] Kool @koolcryptovc: Hey. You have gold. [1:03:21] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Ask me what I was into lately. [1:03:24] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. Why... I'm afraid. Why would I why would I say that? Because I know that's literally setting us off on a [1:03:30] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: path of really open open ended questions. [1:03:32] Voice G: You're taking off very open. No... [1:03:34] Dave @DCBK2LA: There is no landing that that plane. That plane will never land ever. Oh my god. [1:03:39] Voice G: It's it's gonna stick forever, bro. [1:03:42] Dave @DCBK2LA: I swear. Forever. It's [1:03:43] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: gonna stick. Oh, boy. [1:03:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Oh, never let... You relax. Okay? Gamer, take it easy. Alright? Let's tone it down a little bit here. Tone it down. For the kids that might be eating bagels or... People are feeding their kids over here. You never know. But if you're a parent and you're a sight... And you're psychotic enough to not have ear pods in, smart enough. Anyways, alright. What else we got cooking? Positions. Position. Oh, real quick, little plug. Shout out, BK. Thank you, bro, for putting me back onto this ex cohost thing. I'm gonna be sharing this out for all the spaces that we're gonna be putting out now. I think it's a great way to obviously get a lot more visibility. We can get some different speakers on. Obviously, a little more diversity never hurt nobody. We're looking for DEI. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. What I'm saying is, like You're gonna get it. I I love this platform. I really, really do. It's so clean. It's literally integrated with Twitter completely. Your spaces, your... I mean, everything everything. So it's really, really cool. So keep a lookout for that. Yeah. [1:04:41] Voice G: Yo. When when you create a space on x, it automatically creates it in x cohost. So you don't even have to upload a space or anything. And then what's what's real... The real sauce is a marketplace is coming for ex So anybody that's hosting on ex cohost is gonna get access to this marketplace where there's gonna be people, you know, who are looking to sponsor you. You know, if you're trying to get money out of this... I'm not particularly trying to get money out of it, but if you are trying to get money out of, like, hosting and spaces and shit like that, that's... This this... It's the spot to check out for sure. [1:05:23] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Wait. Wait. Wait. You get you get money out of this thing? [1:05:27] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, I the few sudden. Yeah. You you want the alpha? Yeah. Good luck. We'll tell you about it next [1:05:32] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: time, gamer. No. Wait a minute. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. What? [1:05:37] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Yeah. No. No. But in all seriousness, and that's, like, perfect segue. Not that ex cohost got us this, but, yo, cool. We got ourselves a sponsor. Yo. Between ATC, the reset, and behind the stacks, Bitcoin OS is now an official... Is gonna be an official sponsor starting on February 17. Across the board, we're gonna do a thirty day fucking blitz. So, Safi, shout out to you. We're gonna be doing the reset bread. We got ourselves some money money, baby. Cool. And we got ourselves a little bit of token token. You know what I mean? So every one of you guys is up here has been my calls at some point or another. Landy, thank you, obviously, for behind the stacks. We're gonna have panels. Vincent, I see you down there. Also, we're gonna have some speakers that are gonna be coming through all the time. So we're gonna start really cooking over here, man, because regardless of what you see on the timeline, people are like, oh, let the bull market resume after, like, a down day. Like, enough with that nonsense. Shit is gonna start going crazy, bollocks. Game. Yeah. [1:06:29] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Dave, are you talking about Boss? Bitcoin o... Is that Bitcoin OS? Boss? Yes. [1:06:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yes, sir. [1:06:34] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: So is that a Snoop? That's Snoop Toshi? [1:06:37] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. That is not Snoop Toshi. Y'all... Yeah. Tiago. [1:06:40] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh, Tiago. Oh, okay. And the process is working in the project. That's a [1:06:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah, man. Congrats. Yeah. Well, I've had a couple meetings with them so far. We're planning out, like, the whole... Like, literally, we're gonna be doing a one space additional on top of everything else that we do on the reg over here. So it's gonna be intense, but it's gonna be in your face. They're they're... I mean, they've raised a decent amount of money so far, man. And I think that token, that TGE is gonna be wild. So gonna be interesting to see. So guys come through. There's gonna be an opportunity for people to get in on. They are obviously looking to raise funds. So, yeah, come in, ask a million questions, but, obviously, I'll have more details as time gets a little bit closer, but I just wanted to tease that out and say, hey. I'm out here working for me and my cohost, man. We're paid. So, yeah, b k, we're trying to get paid off this hosting shit, bro. Thank you for the ex cohost stuff. I'll pin that to the bottom as well for tomorrow's space, and this will allow people to get more organized too, man. Like, schedule your spaces in advance. More people can see it, more visibility. We'll have more people coming to the spaces. So I love this. And let's get Caitlin on here at some point too. [1:07:42] Voice G: Yeah. It's super simple. Yeah. It's super simple to to request to speak too. [1:07:48] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. [1:07:48] Voice G: I love it. And and and then it gives you, like, a whole bunch of spaces. So if if you frequently speak on spaces and are looking for one place to, like, look for spaces to join, you know, and subjects, and you you don't really particularly wanna scroll through the x version of it. Yeah. It's pretty dope, and $50 a month, bro. Nada. So... [1:08:12] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh, here we go. Breaking news. Bill Gates says he will leave The USA if The client list is released. Is that [1:08:22] Kool @koolcryptovc: is is that is that for real? [1:08:24] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: No. I don't know. Well, well, this is just from... Let me let me see if I can find more sources. [1:08:30] Voice G: Well, his wife sure left when that when that dropped. [1:08:33] Kool @koolcryptovc: She left because she knows, man. She knows what what he did. For sure. [1:08:38] Voice G: Is... Was she... [1:08:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: Well, she she was like, I [1:08:40] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: didn't go [1:08:40] Voice G: I didn't go to that island. And by the way, I'm divorcing him. [1:08:44] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Right. Yeah. Exactly. [1:08:46] Kool @koolcryptovc: No. No. No. No. They they said they were... They are lobbying hard, man, to make sure this list never sees light of day. And I think this is one the reasons why they didn't want Patel as FBI. They didn't want Trump in office because they knew this is gonna come out eventually. Already... They're already exposing some news regarding Clinton. No. No. I don't know. We'll see what happens, man. But, yeah, we'll see. A lot a lot of billionaires on this list, though. A lot a lot of them. [1:09:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yo, Zero, you better stop posting shit, bro. Like, he's gonna be telling you shit on the timeline. [1:09:19] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: How are you guys gonna react when you see... That... That's actually something I haven't heard anyone really talk about yet. Because we... You know, Bill Gates, George Soros, you know, all these guys, we... You know, it's kinda, like, obvious. Right? But but what's... To me, what's gonna be interesting is what's gonna happen when you see your hero show up on that list? The person that you actually, like, you know, at one point in your life, like, either looked up to or you thought they were a good actor or a great actress or a singer. You know, what what if Beyonce comes up on that list? What if, you know, like... Well, Oprah probably is on that list. [1:09:57] Voice G: Well, that's that's not a what if anymore, Brownie. That's not a what if. [1:10:01] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: You know I'm saying? Like like, how... Would you believe it, or would you be in complete denial? [1:10:05] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Go on. I don't trust any of them. Never have. Never will. [1:10:11] Dave @DCBK2LA: What hero do you have, alpha gamer, that's part of this crew? That's what I wanna know. [1:10:14] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. I'll tell a hero. He's gonna be very, very sad. [1:10:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: What... Which one of these guys is a hero? Is it... That's what I'm I'm wondering. Like, who's looking at, [1:10:21] Landy @CryptoLandy: like... Ouchie. [1:10:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Like, what kid is looking up to his being like... [1:10:25] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: No. Not a hero, but, like, like, you know, like... [1:10:27] Landy @CryptoLandy: What do you like? [1:10:28] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: You know, like a... Like your favorite... Like Morgan Freeman shows up.... Favorite actor.... [1:10:32] Whitters @whitterss: Know that's your mom. [1:10:33] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: You know what mean? Hero. Would you believe it, or would you just deny and be like, no. They would never do that. Not my... You know? [1:10:41] Landy @CryptoLandy: If they're... [1:10:42] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Go ahead. [1:10:42] Landy @CryptoLandy: Respect them. [1:10:43] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: If they... [1:10:45] Voice G: It's just [1:10:46] Whitters @whitterss: amazing background. Like, you should. Do you sing [1:10:55] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: Definitely, he does not. [1:10:57] Whitters @whitterss: Oh. This... I was being very You were pulling from the wreckage. I have really bad ADHD. Whenever... You [1:11:09] Dave @DCBK2LA: know what that emotion you know what emotion that goes. Right? You're all thinking about the dogs on TV. Right? Yeah. [1:11:14] Voice G: I think I need to go donate some money. Yeah. Exactly. Gonna go to [1:11:18] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: US Navy. I'm sending money to the shelter right now. [1:11:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: It's gonna be every politician getting perp walked out of here, and you're gonna be like, oh, shit. Yep. Watch. Heroes. Key missed me with all that hero nonsense. Get out of here. [1:11:32] Landy @CryptoLandy: Make Guantanamo great again. [1:11:34] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yo. They got 30,000 beds available, bro. Hey. They're ready. [1:11:39] Voice G: Yeah. They're waiting. [1:11:40] Dave @DCBK2LA: They are ready. Okay. We're officially off the rails. I don't really know where to go from here. [1:11:46] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Think Witters was gonna say something. [1:11:48] Whitters @whitterss: I was. I actually was. So what's actually gonna happen though, like, if that comes out? These people, like, they make it into this huge, like, thing, but shitty people do, like, shitty things all the time and, like, the world just, like, keeps going on. So, like, I don't I don't understand why they would put so much emphasis on on that not getting out. Like, they might lose some business, but in the grand scheme of things, like, it's just not gonna... It's gonna be a nothing burger. And we'll all just, like, look at them weird when we see... I don't know if any of us will see them, but see their picture. Go across the, like, news. Right? [1:12:36] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, you'll see it. Trust me. If some of these news outlets have anything Yeah. They'll be everywhere. They've been waiting for a day like this to be able to do that. But, yeah, let's maybe pivot a little bit. So Sunny d came up. Sunny d, man, with the brightest future in crypto. What's good, bro? I don't know if I'm gonna make this be any more on the rails, but, I had to say that Ye is back on Twitter. So... Shout out Kanye. Love it. [1:13:03] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Oh, boy. [1:13:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: Did he actually drop it?... Five. Did Kanye did Kanye drop the [1:13:08] Kool @koolcryptovc: c a... [1:13:08] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: That... That's the new fashion. Right? Your birthday suit? That's the new, you know, for the red red carpet.... [1:13:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: No ill speaker on this program. [1:13:16] Kool @koolcryptovc: What do you guys think about that anyway? The... That that picture with his wife on on the red carpet. What do you guys [1:13:20] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: think about It's beautiful.... About cool. We're all arriving at the Bitcoin conference in Vegas just like that. [1:13:28] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Check the check the chat in the... Check the cabal chat real quick. I got a picture for you. [1:13:35] Dave @DCBK2LA: Uh-oh. I'm scared. [1:13:36] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I don't I don't know if I wanna look. [1:13:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. I don't wanna look like that.... [1:13:39] Whitters @whitterss: Sit up top, you pussies. [1:13:41] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, shit. Winner's coming in hot. [1:13:44] Landy @CryptoLandy: I don't don't want this one. I don't want this one attached to me up top. [1:13:48] Voice G: She literally said posted on top, [1:13:49] Dave @DCBK2LA: you pussies. Alright. Quick side note. Quick side note. Quick side note. Think tomorrow is when Leo and this this Funtoshi bot, and they're doing something on Bitcoin. I don't know. I put this in my... What I did in crypto this week post. I pinned it to the top so you guys can see. I even linked the the Twitter account so you guys could see. I obviously went out. I bought a runestone. I bought some dog. Obviously, the market tanked after that. So I'm definitely down on both of those, but I don't know what's gonna happen. There's something connected here to Leonidas as well as the dog, like, the dog crew and this new, like, AI agent. So super interesting. Obviously, full disclosure, I own both. So at your discretion. But, yeah, I'm gonna start doing these. Like, what I do... Like, what did I do in crypto this week? Right? So you guys see I did. I laid out, like, how I found that. I talked about the different AI agents. I talked about Pizza Pets. I talked about stacking with Hermetica. Junie... Oh, InkOnChain. We didn't talk about InkOnChain. Oh. Oh. [1:14:48] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Speaking of Pizza Pets, Dave. There's the yellow pineapple pulverizer if you're still... If you haven't gone immortal yet. [1:14:55] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, I mean, I haven't, but I'm good with the with the yellow pineapple guy. [1:15:00] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Yeah. There's a yellow pineapple, so, you know, do what you gotta do. [1:15:03] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I'm good. I already I already smoothed that over with the the owner of that. So I'm good. Don't worry about nothing. But ink on chain. Cool. I don't know if this was you that shared it or not, but I made sure that I bridged over some ETH from base... Up base. You hear me? Base. The base chain. I like to get a little Mike Tyson on us. From base over to ink chain, which is the crack... Which is the new Kraken ETH l two because you never know. There's no token yet. Hey. I'm doing it, man. I literally sent 1 ETH o... 1 base ETH over, came back, sent it back, sent it back over again. You never know. Right? Like, something simple like that can obviously, like, make you viable. But I saw on deck screener that ink... Like, the... Some NFTs and some... Also some meme tokens are cooking on this ink chain. And I'm just like, what the fuck? Bro, some of these things were like... Some of these meme tokens were going crazy. So... And don't get... How is Inkchain already an option? Stacks is not an option on DexScreener. What do we gotta do out here, DexScreener? Does anybody know somebody at DexScreener? So, [1:16:06] Kool @koolcryptovc: Dave, I think I think Stacks, man, they need some work. I don't I don't know. You know, we we spoke about this, you know, months ago. You know, a lot of blockchains are coming now, and they launching on all these whatever platform... Platforms. People don't know about stacks, man. I I keep telling you that you guys... A lot of stacks people live in a bubble, man. We... They need more exposure. I I don't I don't get why why. I... You have Inchin come out, and you have a 100,000... 200,000 people, you know, on their... In their Discord, and everybody's talking about them. Marketing. Nobody talks about Stacks, man. [1:16:42] Landy @CryptoLandy: It's marketing. I need marketing. [1:16:44] Dave @DCBK2LA: Need BD. BD and marketing, bro, but we're decentralized. It's like, come on, bro. Like, we definitely need... Like, it's the same shit that I saw happen in ENS, bro. Like, the whole community was like, but they had the proper, like, connections in place. They obviously... Like, they were powering all of the names that were happening on base. Right? So there was... And then all of a sudden, boom. You see PayPal and Venmo integration, then it's like, oh, shit. Right? There's none of that that's happening on stacks. So, look, I I don't know what the future... The immediate future is gonna hold. I mean, given what Bitcoin is doing... I mean, we saw stacks at 85¢ the other day. Cool. Literally, 85¢. I'm down heavy on my LEO bag. You know what I mean? But if if if Rubes is not gonna be the guy that's gonna be able to, like, push this thing out, like, for the memes on stacks, then I don't know who is, bro. Like, I really, really don't, to be perfectly honest, and it's just missing volume. So maybe let's end on this. Right? I know we got ten minutes left, but where does volume come from right now, guys? Right? Like, number one, do you think that... Like, given... Like, when you look at this entire crypto landscape right now, like, are we... Like, where, like, where is the liquidity going to come from? Because I'm constantly seeing people say, like, we need more liquidity. We need more liquidity. [1:17:53] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: Tell you. [1:17:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: Tell me. [1:17:56] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: In... What was today? Seven? So in, what, ten days or... Let's just say two weeks. Right? All the people from FTX are getting their money back, and, you know, they're probably gonna spend it. [1:18:12] Dave @DCBK2LA: That'd be nice. What's that total? What is that? How many bill... Tens... It's 10,000,000,000? [1:18:17] AlphaGamer @AlphaGamer_sats: It's 8,000,000,000. Yeah. It's it's billions that's gonna get... Come back to investors here. And and remember, that's all in cash. Right? They're not they're not getting paid back in crypto. They're getting paid back in cash. So, essentially, for them to get back into the market, they gotta buy. [1:18:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I don't know, man. Like, I'm looking around, and I'm trying to see, like, what's what. I mean, ever since the Trump token, like, literally sucked all the liquidity away from every other chain, it was like, when's it coming back? Right? Like, I I don't know. Like, I'm looking around, like, cool for these airdrops and everything else. Like, is now a time... Right? Because this was the other thing. Right? When I spoke to the Bitcoin OS team, and they were just like, yeah. Like, everything is... As of right now, we're good for the seventeenth, and, know, their TGE was is, like, probably gonna be at some point in February. But if we all... I mean, in March. But, obviously, as we all know, like, this shit gets moved around and pushed, and these guys try and obviously time it to where, like, oh, they wanted it, like, peak euphoria. Right? But when they see a day or two like like like we've seen recently, they always kinda have pause. I don't think that's the right approach. It's just in my opinion. It's like, have the... Like, know that, like, the market that we're in, see where we're at, and, yeah, like, let's let's let's put a good marketing plan together. But... Cool. Where do you think... Like, do we need... Like, is it... Like, do we need more liquidity? Where is it gonna come from? What's the deal? [1:19:37] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: Most liquidity in the... Oh, sorry. Cool. Go ahead. [1:19:41] Kool @koolcryptovc: No. No. No. No. That's just what I'll give you and Mike, Alex, real quick. It it should come from the the Fed. The Fed or the US government... The printer... The money printer. That's where I think it needs to come. But, Alex, please go ahead. Was... I spoke to Alex. Go ahead. [1:19:53] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: Hey. So most liquidity, I think, in the future, most liquidity... When... What we what we see in other countries, the liquidity comes from a couple of different places. So one is when the government rolls out programs where they're doing essentially, like, like, official government offerings, where they do government wallets, basically. Like, there are countries... Like, a number of countries where, essentially, you have a government wallet and everything, that you need, like bus passes, your government IDs, everything that you... You know, all that stuff. It's all kept tokenized in a government wallet, and you can pay things like your electric bill and stuff like that, or you... You're going to be able to pay your electric bill. Maybe the... I don't... I think that a couple of countries are on the way to do that, but they can't do that yet. But all of that stuff, that all is starts to create all of that movement. Right? Because once you have people who are already operating on... In digital assets, like, own digital assets, they understand digital assets, half of, you know, their their their ID, their government world is all digital... Digitalized and becomes digital assets, those very easily get paired with other things. Like, you get... You can get your paycheck, as a digital asset. You do pay... Like, lots of countries already do payroll that can come in digital assets. That's, one way that you very easily get a flood tide of liquidity. Right? You basically have this, influx of people who can get paid. And one of the ways that, I see a lot of liquidity coming in other countries are the new apps that are coming on that are allowing people, especially starting with freelancers, that work across borders, right, that are in countries that have difficult economies, that have, like, for example, capital controls and things like that that allow them to get paid in Bitcoin or a few other currencies like Circle or something like that. They allow them to get paid in those things, and, automatically, business flows smoother. And suddenly, you have a bunch of people who have zero interest in, you know, crypto or anything like that. They're not interested in web three. They're just interested in getting paid for work. Immediately, you have, like, thousands and thousands of new users that you plug that app into anything else, and suddenly you've got an entire ecosystem. Right? You take this, you know, payroll app and you plug it into, say, like, an ecommerce app. There you go. Right? Now you've got a bunch of people who can buy stuff. Plug it into a grocery app. Plug it into, you know, like, a a a car platform. Right? You wanna be able to get around somewhere. Look. Use those digital assets that you've purchased and be able to do that. Right? Pair that with anything else, and suddenly you've got a digital asset economy moving. So that's one way that I've seen. The other way is basically through, the back end essentially, which is, what we seem to be doing, which is through enterprise. Right? So a lot of people actually do have digital assets incorporated in what they're doing, but they don't know it because it's done through, you know, the enterprise, like like, you know, Walmart, through Visa, through, you know, eBay, through whatever. Like, they're the ones that are using it. You're interacting with them. You just have no idea. So, essentially, all the benefit goes to the enterprise. They're the ones who are essentially taking all the assets that they have and liquidating them or not not really liquidating, but securitizing them and making money off of them using blockchain technology. And, and it's essentially the same thing as what banks do. Right? So banks take your assets, your money, and then they turn them into essentially a financial tool. So they take all your deposits, and then they go invest it in other stuff. And they make sure that, they have money available if you want, if you wanna take some money out. Like, a certain percentage has to be available. But, otherwise, they take your money, and they go make money on it. Right? They make sure that you... That capital is moving, and they keep all the profits of it. And it's your money. But as long as they have money available if you need it, they don't care that, you know, that you don't get a percentage of that profit. And that's essentially what's happening across the board in in companies. They're starting to realize, oh, crap. Blockchain can help us, basically securitize and, make money on all of our sitting assets. So that's what's happening now. People are making a lot of money on them, but it's just not us. Right? So, that's what's happening with us. So there's there's two main ways that that's happening. It is not happening through a bunch of retail investors coming in and trying to make money that way. That is the the push that keeps failing, failing, failing. And then that is what I wish, people would understand is trying to get a bunch of retail investors involved is where you face all the risk, all the regulatory issues, all of that. That's not, where it is. That's not what the push is. The push is really, figure out how to get people in through what they're already doing. Right? You've gotta you've gotta basically turn what they're already doing into a digital asset, or, get enterprise. Go for... One step backwards and get the enterprise version into digital assets. And then if I can just quickly do the... If you're interested, right, explain how this repo market works and what it means. But, again, only if you're interested. [1:26:14] Dave @DCBK2LA: Hold on one second. Let me go to b k, Alex, and I'll come right back to you. But that was super insightful. Thank you. B k, go for it. [1:26:19] Voice G: Oh, perfect segue to show my space is tomorrow at 8PM. We're talk... We're talking about tokenizing assets. And, you know, Dave, people don't know that tokenization in RWAs have been happening for thousands of years. Prostitution prostitution... I mean, we're fractionalizing ownership right there. Right? [1:26:44] Dave @DCBK2LA: Temporary ownership. [1:26:45] Voice G: Yeah. Fractualizing temporary ownership. Exactly, Dave. So the... I wanted to say that. So bad. [1:26:52] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: Okay. I Unwritten contracts. Phrasing. You don't own anything. You are at best renting, and there's not really ownership involved. [1:27:06] Voice G: Well, that's temporary ownership. It's temporary ownership, you know, because of some of the things that may be said during the act. [1:27:14] Dave @DCBK2LA: That might have been the worst chill ever, bro. Just Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods. On that note, everybody gonna be k's tokenized RWA space tomorrow. It's gonna be great. Check out the ex cohost app, and he's gonna kill it. Cool. For whatever reason, I don't... Oh, there we go. Got it. Okay. Got you. Alex, what are you what are you gonna explain? The repo... What are we talking about? Sorry. [1:27:34] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: Yeah. The reverse repo market. Sorry. Go ahead, Landy. [1:27:37] Landy @CryptoLandy: No. I just... I I... Yeah. Overnight repo. Yeah. I'm all... I wanna hear this. [1:27:43] Dave @DCBK2LA: Three minutes. You're on the clock. Good [1:27:46] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: luck to that. Okay. So here's... Look, man. I mean, things don't get explained in these short punchy things. This is the problem is that everybody wants, like, a like, a sound bite explanation, but that's how you end up with, like, you know you know, Bitcoin, you know, hedges inflation. That's not what it does. [1:28:07] Landy @CryptoLandy: So It's [1:28:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: a meme coin. It's a meme coin. What? Bitcoin Bitcoin is a meme coin, obviously. [1:28:12] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: Yeah. Crap like that. Like, you know, you get these weird... Like, they're not... They they don't actually tell, like, true information. So here's what repo markets and reverse repo markets do. The the way it works is, the Fed and banks work together to basically put out or stoke up cash in the market. Right? So, we... I... I've talked about this before for anybody who's listened to me before. You know how we've talked about, how, when you when you have, the value of a dollar, the way a value... The dollar is valued is essentially, like, $1 is supposed to equal 1 dollar's worth of the GDP plus a bunch of other things. And I can explain those, but I'm on a clock here. So it's the GDP, the total, amount of of, output in the economy, plus a bunch of other things including, like, foreign reserves and things like that. So the way that you determine the value of a dollar is $1. Let's say the total value of GDP plus those other things is 1,000,000,000,000. Well, there better be $1,000,000,000,000 floating around because that makes each dollar worth one one trillionth of, yeah, of the total pile. Right? That's how you determine the value of a dollar. Right? It... Does it... A dollar is supposed to equal one, like, one one trillionth of a trillion dollars. Right? If there's $1,000,000,000,000 floating around and then... And it... The the total value is $1,000,000,000,000, then each dollar is worth one 1 trillionth dollar. Yay. We have $1 worth exactly 1 dollar's worth of value. They match. That's great. However, what if suddenly the, the GDP falls in half. Right? All of that value is now worth $500,000,000,000, and there's still a trillion dollars floating around. Now each dollar floating around is worth half of its value. You've got a trillion dollars worth $500,000,000,000 in value. Crap. You've got 500,000,000,000 extra dollars. You need to get rid of of those... Of 500,000,000,000 of those dollars. Right? The mechanism that the banks use to get rid of 500,000,000,000 of those dollars is, the repo market. The banks, basically will, will buy bonds from the Fed and give them... And and, basically, what the, what the Fed does is suck up cash. And so it's like a big vacuum. The the the banks take on debt, and the Fed, gets cash in exchange. And that is how money gets sucked out of the economy until there's $500,000,000,000, and that equals $500,000,000,000 of value. Now they check it again, and they're like, oh, shit. Now it's a trillion dollars again. Goddamn it. There's only $500,000,000,000 worth of value. What do we do now? Well, now we gotta pump another $500,000,000,000 back into the economy so that there's $1,000,000,000,000 matching $1,000,000,000,000 worth of value. Crap. Okay. So what do we do? We reverse the process. The reverse repo market. Repo means repurchase. Reverse repurchase market. So what happens? Well, this time, the, the the banks are, are buying bonds from the, sorry. The banks are are, are getting cash from the Fed. Right? So the Fed is basically a lender to the banks. And the banks get cash, and in exchange, they owe the Fed interest. Right? Because now the bet... The Fed has lent a bunch of cash, which is liquidity, to the... All these banks. Right? Because they need they need cash. They need cash to loan out to people. We need cash in the in the economy now. Okay. So now there's a trillion dollars floating around. Whoo. For a trillion dollars worth of value. That's great. Now we have a problem. What happens when you have a lender? Lenders want... They want interest. You gotta pay someone to borrow money. The interest rate that the Fed charges is, the floor interest rate. It's a... It's basically what we call the discount rate. And right now, it's, like, think, like, 4.4%, something like that. Now here's the issue. The the the banks now have to pay money that was freshly minted. Right? Preprinted money. They pay that back to the Fed. That money that they paid... Right? Like, yay. There's money going out into the into the economy. That's great. Except that money isn't going out into the economy. That money has to go back into the Fed because the Fed is owed money. The banks don't wanna do that. What do the banks wanna do? The banks wanna lend that money out to, to enterprise and to retail. Well, not really to retail. They hate us. But they do wanna lend it out to companies that already have a shit ton of money. They wanna lend more shit ton of money because, I don't know, people with a shit ton of money always get more money. So they wanna lend them more money and get back a a better return. They wanna lend that money out and get money. They don't wanna pay the Fed back. Right? So what does the the Fed do? The Fed starts increasing the interest rate to force the banks to start paying the, the the the Fed back. Right? It's an... It's a mechanism that they use to start, to start reducing the number of loans that they're making to other people and forcing them to start paying the Fed back. So, overall, what this cycle ends up doing is increasing the interest rate. Does this make sense? [1:35:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. It does, actually. Okay. It does. [1:35:07] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: That's what's happening. So when we're at a really high level of reverse repo, we're gonna end up having an increased interest rate. So what we're looking at right now is before, like, last year, remember, everybody was saying, we're gonna reduce interest rates, reduce interest rates, reduce interest rates. We just had that FOMC, the open market committee, saying we're gonna leave it the way it is right now. Now we have a situation where it looks like not only will we leave things the way they are, we might have an increase in interest rates. So this is a very different situation from even a month ago. Does this make sense? [1:35:59] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Yeah. Lindy, go for it. [1:36:01] Landy @CryptoLandy: I just wanted to equate this to something. For those of you that wanna equate it to something, you can look into how stablecoins operate to maintain a peg. It's it's a very similar analogous situation in in terms of how the Fed operates with, the repo markets in general and keeping liquidity and capital flowing while still providing some sort of incentive on the other side either for themselves or others. When they loan out, right, you have the fed fed funds rate at four and a half percent. The bank is gonna have you cover that as the customer. Right? That's why you're never gonna get the actual fed funds rate. So, unless you are a person with a lot of money. Right? But, yeah, I I... It's a topic that I could dive deep on for hours and hours and hours. I'm gonna spare you from that because then I will, I'll talk myself out, and most of the room would be asleep if I start talking about this too. Because [1:37:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: That's a fact. Yeah. Alex, one last question, and and then we can wrap up. But... So now what does that mean genuinely for, like, the, like, the greater crypto markets right now? Right? Like, higher... In in a higher interest rate environment, what does that mean? [1:37:20] ALEX DAMSKER @AlexDamsker: So it has meant previously when interest rates rise, right, people always look for, for investments. Right? So so there's a couple of things that we need to know. When, when interest when interest rates rise, in some... On some level, people look for different kinds of investments. Are they going to invest in mortgages? Right? Not necessarily because now it's expensive to buy real estate. As interest rates rise, people... Where are people gonna put their money? Well, they're not gonna put it in real estate, or anything that involves long term loans because the price is too high. Are they going to put it into something like stocks? Well, it depends. If it's a stock that requires capital, right, like tech stocks or things like that, they have lots of capital demands, that's also something that then becomes less appealing in a high interest rate environment, right, or a rising interest rate environment. Why? Because they need to borrow money. Things that, companies that borrow money or need to borrow money regularly, have a problem. So, like, airlines, anything that has, like, companies, tech companies, things that have a high capital commitments. Those are companies that become less desirable in tight money environments. Why? Because they need to borrow, and they're subject to whatever the, borrow environment looks like. And now if the interest rates go up, people aren't going to wanna invest in those companies as much because profits will be lower. Right? Because, they're going to be spending more money on borrowing money in order to get whatever it is that they need to do done. Right? They might... If they have a... Even if they have a huge fund of money that they have is like a pool that they're like, you know, like like Apple has like a billion dollars where they're gonna... They might have to draw down on that pool, and we don't know how long this, you know, a a high, you know, a high interest rate environment might last. So you don't want to have to draw down from a pool because no pool lasts forever. So you have to think, okay. Well, I might not want to invest in a high growth, so so high-tech and and companies that are high growth companies tend to be, ones that are also ones that that have high borrow requirements. So, uh-oh, well, you know, maybe growth stocks aren't great stocks to invest in. That might be a problem. So this is where we've seen benefits in crypto and, alternative investments. Right? Because the the, the the potential return in, in alternative investments, like emerging stocks, and high growth investments is so much higher even though the risk is so much higher. Right? Because, usually, this is typically... Right? I can't say that that's definitely going to happen in the future, but this has generally been where we've seen more of a benefit and where our previous runs have happened. Because what we see are larger investors who are looking for something where, okay, well, profits are going to lower there in these other areas. Where can I put my money where I can have, some increased growth? Not maintain my current margins, but I need to find increased growth margins. And and I won't necessarily need to offset those margins because they're constantly borrowing money. And one of the things that we've had with crypto is, is growth without a huge amount of debt. Right? So that's been one area that has been on our books. Now is that going to be something that we've, we're gonna continue to do? I don't know. Honestly, a lot of the the growth that we should have, it's weird that we don't have a lot of debt because there's so much infrastructure, especially in things like d side, d pin, stuff like that. There should be a lot of debt on our books. It's actually because we're not building properly. We need to build a lot more of our own infrastructure. We're borrowing a lot of web two infrastructure, which actually means we're super centralized and dependent on a lot of web two. However, the way that we've been building right now, because we lean so much on web two, means that we don't carry a lot of debt, and so we have a lot of upside potential even when other companies that build their own infrastructure, don't. So that's kind of what it means, what it has meant previously, if that makes sense. [1:42:25] Dave @DCBK2LA: Copy. Yep. Good stuff. I mean... Yeah. I mean, everywhere you look, like, the infrastructure that we have around here, all of it, there's some there's some piece somewhere that is always attached to, like... There's a web two piece. Right? Like, it's whether it's, like... AWS. Yeah. Like, there's always something. Right? Like, it's not... Like, when we talk about decentralization. But... No. That was super enlightening, Alex.
