OH MY GOD! XRP And Crypto Getting Pummeled! I’m So DAMN TIRED Of This!

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:00]XRP is getting wrecked. The entire crypto market's getting wrecked.

[00:00:04]Everything's down two, three, four plus percent or more. Why? Why is this happening? We're going to talk about all that. And uh I'm going to convey to you that I am as frustrated as you are with the crypto market right now. Um but that frustration is not going to end anytime soon, guys. I've been talking to you guys about this for a long time. uh we are in a position right now because of a lot of things going on in kind of the macro financial space and I'm talking about uh the impact of the US Iran war the impact of um the the rising oil prices the impact of what I believe we're all in a recession inflation everybody's afraid they're going to lose their jobs um and so forth and so on and that is bringing into the marketplace the stock market as well as crypto marketplace a s a a significant feeling of uneasiness and fear and it's just hitting us hard. Now, why is the crypto market down today? Simply put, it is down because of the rhetoric, the things being said about the US Iran war. Okay.

[00:01:13]So, in the last 24 hours, Iran tried to bomb in the UAE, the United Arab Emirates, a nuclear plant. They sent three drones to attack that. Uh there was one strike that was to some type of a power production building, but not anywhere near the nuclear facility, right? It was on the same property, but um and of course, Iran did it. they're not officially claiming uh you know claiming uh responsibility so forth but that's that's playing out. Meanwhile, Trump has come out and said that the clock is ticking. That's a quote. That's a the clock is ticking and you know if you guys don't get your act together and come back to the table, we're going to bomb you and so forth and so on. It is that and that alone. Well, there's always other stuff. There's always other stuff in crypto. There's always the the backdrop of fear, uneasiness, and you know, and all this. Look guys, I sit in this seat every single day and I'm going to tell you, I am living every minute of this with you, okay? I have to make content for you guys every single day.

[00:02:19]And every day I look at it and every day I just kind of go like this. I just kind of go, I'm so tired of this, right? I'm tired of what is going on in the market and I'm tired of, you know, how it's all playing out. I have no power. I have zero power in this equation. It's not like me and my little YouTube channel are going to change the dynamic, right? My goal is to let you guys know that A, you're not alone. B, I feel exactly how you feel. And I just and I'm frustrated and I know you are as well. And I wanted to make a video to tell you that I am frustrated along with you. You're not alone. So, you may feel like it. Sometimes being a crypto investor is an isolating event. It is.

[00:03:00]is it kind of isolates you because sometimes you almost feel like you can't talk to kind of your regular friends and family because a lot of them don't understand crypto. They're like, "What are you investing in that crypto thing for? That's not very good. That's a I heard that was a scam last week." You know, whatever. Right? And you know, crypto is not going to be cool until it's all magically cool. And and that's coming, right? And it's already beginning to it's already beginning to to happen. And you know, but the major stock exchanges and not stock, stock brokerage houses, they're going to start selling it, you know, blah blah blah blah blah, all that kind of stuff. And they're already doing that to an extent with ETFs, what have you. But look, we're in this boat together. This boat is not going to sink. The crypto boat is not going to sink. It's not not even really going to take on water. It's just not going to do anything right now. I kind of think of it as like we're in the middle of the ocean and we just don't have a lot of wind behind us right now.

[00:03:52]In fact, there's almost no wind. In fact, there's a little bit of headwind kind of pushing us back just a little bit, right? Whatever. That's kind of the metaphor that plays out of my mind. It's very visual reference and frame, if you will. There you go. What's the metaphor you have for what what's going on with the crypto market? Drop in the comments below. Love to hear from you. Give me give me your best metaphor for what you think being in crypto market is like right now. I just gave you mine that, you know, the ship on the ocean and there's wind in our face and we're not going anywhere and blah blah blah.

[00:04:21]Wish I could change it, guys. I do. You know, it's frustrating, but it's not going to end anytime soon. We, you know, for for everything to go back to normal, the US Iran war would have to be over.

[00:04:31]The oil oil prices would have to drop down below like to $60 a barrel and and and you know, fuel, you know, the gas prices right at the at the pump right there, right? They would have to go down um significantly.

[00:04:44]The cost of goods of what we buy, everything in our daily life would have to go down. And then beyond that, we would have to enter a scenario where people are not afraid they're going to lose their job. Period. Okay? And then they can look up and go, you know what?

[00:04:58]I'm going to invest some of my disposable income in tech stocks, AI stocks, crypto, whatever it may be.

[00:05:04]Okay? Speaking of stocks, I have a stock channel that is blowing up and I'm doing some really cool stuff over there. It's kind of exciting and fun. Okay. Yeah.

[00:05:13]Um, it's a link in the description below. Go check it out and it's free. Go subscribe over there. Go check it out.

[00:05:18]Uh, but I do a video or two every single day helping you find the best AI and tech stocks to invest in and it's fun as hell. It's a lot of fun over there. So, uh, I'm enjoying that. I still enjoy making crypto content. Don't misunderstand. But I'm with you. It's frustrating to be in this space right now. And I am not going anywhere, by the way. I'm not. I'm going to be here.

[00:05:37]There's some people that would like me to go away. Can't you can't do this and not have the haters, right? So, uh, you know, to which I say to all the haters, hey, you go get a YouTube channel and you show up every day for 5 years and let's let's talk then and let's see how you're doing.

Get put something kind of smile on your day, right? Take a minute from the work thing, whatever you're doing, think of a good metaphor for right now what it's like to be in crypto.
