Major jurisdictions including Russia, EU, Dubai, UK, and the US are simultaneously developing crypto regulatory frameworks, which the speaker argues are designed to mirror existing digital asset transparency advantages and limit retail investor opportunities; successful crypto investing requires personal conviction through independent research, disciplined predetermined strategies, and proper execution tools rather than following others' advice, as demonstrated by the speaker's experience of selling only half their holdings during the 2021 market peak to achieve their investment goals.

XRP BREAKING! It’s Happening Now! Here’s The Proof!
Added:Hey guys, David here and welcome to Digital Outlook. Guys, I'll tell you what, you cannot make up what's going on in the wide world in this space today.
You just can't. The confluence is literally off the scale. Russia, Russia has just come out, guys, with their own crypto regulatory framework and legislation in the space. And I'm just telling you, you know, you see all these jurisdictions around the wide world, right? You got the micro regulations over there in the EU. Of course, you've got, you know, what's going on there.
Dubai, Dubai big time. If they ever made a regulatory framework, the UK's got theirs. Russia's coming out with theirs right now. And I'm going to put the articles right into the description of the video. You can see it. And here we are in the United States all trying to just hammer it out and figure it out.
Come on. Look guys, a lot of these major central banks and financial players around the world, they do nothing in isolation guys, they all get together. I really believe this and they sit down and they start talking about, you know, all the major doings and things like that, interest rates and overnight this and what they're going to do here and stuff like that. And I really am convinced that they'll do, you know, they'll talk European Central Bank.
Okay, you you do this and then well, you know, Bank of Canada, you go over here and do that and then you know what we're going to do. And on and on and on it goes. To me, I think we're watching nothing but a dog and pony show. That's what I genuinely believe. And here we were listening to all this argument, all these squawk boxes like Elizabeth Warren, come on. And sitting there just kicking up as much dust and dirt as they possibly can, spooking retail out as much as they can. and then you know making a big song and dance about oh well hey President Trump made1 and a half billion dollars mind you off of crypto and da da da da da and how oh we need ethics inside the bill for the clarity act well of course he comes out and unexpectedly and a lot of people think this was strategy on his part he comes out and he says oh you know what I have no problem with that well I'll tell you what I think's going to come as a result of that they are going to now have to disclose knows all of their own trading and stuff that they do and things like that. Someone had put a chart out there and they were comparing Nancy Pelos's, you know, success rate of investing alongside Warren Buffett's.
And if you cannot believe it, you've got to see it to believe it. And I wish I had the clip to show it to you, but you can probably find it on X. And Nancy Pelosy's trading was in the hundreds% above Warren Buffett.
You're telling me Nancy Pelosi is one of the world's best and most successful traders of all time? Guys, this is nonsense. But with the movement into distributed ledger technology where of course you are watching the depository trust and clearing corp they're going to use stellar blockchain along with you know XRP and different ones like that and R3 quarter signed up with R3 quarter you're going to watch the tokenization of all of these real world assets. So of course that includes equities commodities all the markets and everything like that. Things are going to be a whole lot more transparent aren't they? Well, now they're going to be able to say, "Well, you know, we really thought it was a good idea to get some sort of, you know, regulatory framework in there so that as politicians, well, you can't benefit from all that insider knowledge and trading on that, which they have not.
You know, there's been no regulatory framework over that. They've been just going crazy." Well, guys, I believe that the reason they're doing it is cuz they're going to flip the switches.
They're gonna flip the switches and you are literally going to watch a situation happen here where all this framework that is coming out is going to mirror what we already got in this digital asset space. You and I have been investing in the space for a long time a lot of you out there. And one of the greatest benefits that we have had, you know, in this whole space is we may not know who holds all these whale wallets, right? But we would get to see what these whale wallets held. That kind of transparency. And as a result of that, they couldn't buffalo us with, you know, all the nonsense that they've been able to do for years inside the traditional markets because we could kind of see what their activity is. That's why I'm always saying, "Hey, listen. I'm not following their advice. I'm following their behavior cuz you can track it. You can go on to all these blockchain explorers and you can literally see the movement. While they're scaring the dickens out of retail, you have got major whales wallets that hold a million dollars plus of XRP buying it up like no tomorrow. And right there, the evidence is right before you. You cannot deny that. So why would these guys put in tens of millions, if not billions, into doing that if the whole thing was going right over the waterfall, as it were?
There's not and they know it. And so here you got this situation and I have to come out. I literally laugh because the truth of the matter is, you know, if you didn't laugh, you'd have to cry cuz you can see just how much they have ripped off the public Jane and the public Joe for literally decades upon decades upon decades. And here we are in a situation where this distributed ledger technology space and these digital assets probably represent the single greatest opportunity for retail to frontr run institutions that has ever existed. And of course they've all limited that, you know, when uh in the traditional market with the accredititor investor status and all that, but here we are in a situation where we could do that. and and yet they're trying to scare the dickens out of folks from taking a position when they know very well it'll probably represent the greatest wealth transfer in the history of mankind. And guys, we are right there. Right there. And if you think and I I know a lot of you don't think this, but come on. You cannot say that it just happens to be coincidence that you're watching these major institutions around the wide world get all this regulatory framework at the very same time and a time that we're genuinely going to need it with all of the conflict that's going on and the price of oil going crazy, Japanese carry trade unwinding and all this. Come on, you can't make this stuff up. And it's really going on and that is where we get a lot of our confidence, you know, guys. Um, I want to say this.
I was out today. I was helping my mom.
Look, I got my my painting shirt on. I don't know if you can see all the paint there, but I'm helping my mom do all this painting and stuff like that. I love working with my hands, right?
There's something to be said, guys, about building something with your own two hands, isn't there? And this is where I think a lot in my mind, I really like doing my own research. If you're ever going to get confident in your investment in this space is not going to be because of the conviction of others.
It's going to be about because of your own conviction. They're not going to be able to talk you in and talk you out of it just like that. Because you will have built up an understanding and a disciplined approach to this space that they're not going to be able to compromise that easy. And it's something that you need. And let me just say this right now. Don't kid yourself. If you think that when the market takes off, when it will, and I believe it's going to, that you're just, well, when it gets up there, David, that's when I'm going to do this or I'm going to do that. No, you won't. You will not. There I was. I was a federal officer for what, 24 years at a very senior level, by the way. And I thought I was about as disciplined as I needed to be, you know, when we were in the space and stuff like that. When it got up there, Judy and I, I'll tell you right now, we only sold half. Now the half we sold it allowed us to achieve every goal that we had because you know market took off so ridiculous.
Some of the assets we had invested in you know they all went big. Some of them went over 10,000%. So you can just imagine made a big difference in our life. But why did why did we only sell half? Well, because back at the time, you know, a lot of the people that we were following online were all talking about the whole fouryear cycle theory and oh, December 2021 was going to be a massive, massive blowoff top. Kind of like December of 2024, what we were hearing there, right? And stuff like that. So, the market takes off. It was in April, April of 2021, April, May, right around there. Going crazy, crazy, crazy. And if it wasn't for the fact that we had already predetermined what we were going to do, I think we'd have rode that thing all the way up and all the way down like most other people because we were holding out for a December that never came. So when I talk about this space and I talk about you getting disciplined and strategic, it's because I've been there, guys. I have been there. And one thing you do not want to do, you do not want to leave it the chance. And that is why, you know, when we were back there in 2020, it was Ben Armstrong, you know, big boy. He was out there talking about Caleb and Brown and I realized, look, when this thing takes off, it's going to be be a proverbial race to the absolute trough, right? Because, you know, people are going to be wanting to just cash out like crazy at those high numbers because how long is it going to stay there?
Well, that's when we signed up with Caleb and Brown. And I'll tell you what, what a comfort it was to be able to get onto the phone, send an email, talk to our broker, get our trades actually executed. Because a lot of people, you know, they're going to be sitting there thinking, "Wow, here's my opportunity and they're going to go to pull the trigger and the gun's going to miss fire because they're not going to be able to get on that exchange." That is a terrifying thought. And so why wouldn't you want to have, you know, those extra offramps, you know, when you're there like a broker like Caleb and Brown or if you can't do Caleb and Brown in your jurisdiction, uptrade and stuff like that because all the exchanges, it was crazy how many of them all got gummed up in this space. And on top of that, the tax man comes along and for Judy and I, we didn't know. Boy, did we ever have to cough up a chunk of change in taxation.
Massive. If I told you I'd be embarrassed to tell you how much, but it was a lot. And now looking back, I realize what a mistake we made. And it was due to our ignorance. We just didn't know. And that's why getting out there, putting in the work to build up your own conviction, your own understanding, doing your due diligence, not basing your, you know, investments on somebody else's conviction and getting a framework in place is going to save your bacon. I kid you not. It will really make the difference in your life. and you will look back and you will thank yourself for taking the time to sign up, you know, for a lot of these various platforms like Caleb and Brown, like Uptrade, and by the way, like I trust Capital, which by we Judy and I, make no bones about it, support all three of these. And they're the only ones, and we've been doing this now for years and years and years. And they're the only ones because I know what they're offering can make a difference for you and I as retail. It can. There's a lot of stuff out there, guys, making all kinds of promises of what they can do and on and on and on. And you know, most of those promises just fall short. They never really do come through. And by that time, you know, it's a little too late, right? This the ship of sale kind of deal. Well, with ITR Capital, you take a little bit of cash. You go out there and you buy you buy invest into these assets, but inside of a Roth IRA, wow, what a facility. It's one of the best, most perfect streamlined ways that you can literally save as much of that tax money as you possibly can because you see when that thing takes off and that Roth IRA, let's say you're holding on to it for a few years, get this, zero. I mean, zero capital gains.
That is massive. Now, in Canada, you don't even have the opportunity to do anything like that. Why? Well, they just don't have it. Like, they don't have LLC's. They don't have these IAS. They have TFSAs, taxfree savings accounts.
You can get exposure to XRP through ETFs through taxfree savings account. But it is nothing like buying the raw deal and literally saving those those capital gains. It is truly massive. And one of the biggest bonuses about it all is this. You know, a lot of people are looking for some free money. Well, hey, you get an ITR capital account. The moment that you fund that, they give you a hundred bucks. Free. Just use it. Add it to your stack. that $100 could translate into something massive down the line. That's the way I think about it. Guys, don't leave it to chance. Get your ducks in a row. I think a big move's coming. I think a big move is coming. And I'll tell you what, you don't want to miss that train. And look, we got a link to all of those, you know, in the description. I trust Capital down there. Link to them, link to Caleb Brown, all that kind of stuff. And the thing is this, guys, write it down.
Don't leave it the chance. Get it out there. Put it, put your ducks in a row.
Do that due diligence. It'll save you.
Save you in a big way. I'll tell you what. And so until tomorrow, we're going to have another fantastic coffee chat.
Get in there and read the articles that I just mentioned. I think it's going to blow your ever loving mind. But this is the kind of stuff that's going on, guys.
Love you to pieces and cannot wait to see you on the other side of this price appreciation cuz we're buckled in, guys.
We are strapped in and we are ready to ride this rocket all the way through the atmosphere, way past the moon and straight through Jupiter. So, I tell you what, till tomorrow, have a fabulous one and take
