[00:04:32]That's what everyone's opining about.

[00:04:35]Oh, this is uh I told you this. You know, everyone's a trader after the fact.

[00:04:40]They're always a trader after the fact, ladies and gentlemen. I told you we were going to 78,000. And I told you I told you we were going to 85,000, but they always tell you after the fact. Never.

[00:04:50]Never before. Well, we got somebody that's going to help us today. Tell us before the fact which way we're going with these altcoin. He's an altcoin guru, by the way. He's an altcoin guru.

[00:05:02]Uh, so I'm really excited to get Krux of Crypto on with us today. So, uh, again, stay tuned. We'll get into that here shortly. Go follow him, by the way, at Krux_Crypto OnX. And I also have um I have his YouTube channel up here. Um I'll show that in a minute. I'll definitely show that in a minute. But before I do that, let's get up. Let's get up my charts, man. I want to show you guys and go through a few market overview touch points because we are at a very very critical level. Um, man, this has been a crazy rally. And uh, let me just bring myself up here really quickly and uh, and uh, show you my screen, guys. As you can see here, what we have going on is an epic rally.

[00:05:57]We bounced off of Bart's head.

[00:05:59]>> I thought you were street smart, bro.

[00:06:01]>> I thought I was street smart, too. I evidently Bart isn't either. It bounced right off of his head and we have been moving up all the way to $78,000 Bitcoin.

[00:06:14]Now Bart faked us out. Maybe we should sh Maybe we should say Trump faked us out. Trump faked us out twice. Bart, we had Bart placed over here, right?

[00:06:25]Remember this? Or was it was right here.

[00:06:27]It was right here. We had Bart placed right here. He was sitting perfectly on that downward trend line as you guys can see there. hands in his pocket. He's just chilling. He's waiting, right? And we started to head lower. Then Trump came out with some imaginary players negotiations. And we started move back up. We moved back up, guys. We're back up.

[00:06:49]We're back up into the air, ladies and gentlemen. And uh we we actually bounced perfectly off of this trend line that you guys can see here on the screen, the orange one there. And I actually drew uh some additional ones. Let me move myself over here. I drew some additional trend lines or one additional one uh a little steeper that we also bounced off of. So, we've been keeping this pattern of moving higher, higher lows, higher highs in this market. And one would say, hey, that means the bull market is on and popping. You know, bears, they're left in tears all the way back here, right?

[00:07:29]That's what one would say.

[00:07:32]But we move market. Look, markets move in levels. Okay, so we gota Yes, the Bulls have scored a few very, very critical points.

[00:07:43]It's fourth quarter. It's two minutes to go. Coach calls timeout now. The Bulls are up.

[00:07:52]They are up. But hey, their opponent has a center and his name is Shaquille O'Neal, ladies and gentlemen. and he's ready to or Matumbbo, whoever you wanted to be. He's a big guy. He's ready to block us right here at $78,000. Will it happen? I don't.

[00:08:12]That is the next level. That's all I can tell you. You have to trade for yourselves and figure it out um on your own. Can't give you financial advice.

[00:08:21]I'm just giving you kind of a bird's eye view of what I see. I see high resistance at 78,000. So, if you uh you know, if I were you and I were long, which we were long on Bloodytics all day, man, this was we went long this morning um at 3:00 a.m. just the opening of uh London. We went long on Ethereum, Scalpolytics Pro V2, and we also went long on Bitcoin uh right before the opening as well, and caught all of that for the the trade up.

[00:08:56]Uh again, yesterday was pretty difficult because we were flopping and groping big time yesterday. Uh but we made all that up on today's session. So if you were long, we you know, I believe in taking profits along the way, fading the rally, you know, the worst thing you want to do is have a round trip. You don't want a round trip. So I'm just saying at these levels, I would take some profits. It's okay to take some profits, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:09:25]um to live to see another day if you're a trader, if you're active trader. Now, Krux Krux is not an active trader. He is a altcoin specialist. So, I can't wait to get him up to talk about that. But definitely wanted to just give you guys kind of a market overview of where we are. Let's see if I can pull up weeks really quickly and uh go over um let's go over to the where is the markets. Okay, markets right here. Here we go.

[00:09:58]You can now trade crude oil on weeks.

[00:10:01]That's another I you know that's great.

[00:10:04]I've got an algo for for crude oil as well. So that's great. I'm going to start have to start trading crude oil over on weeks. So Marcus again, Bitcoin phenomenal day up 4 and a4%.

[00:10:16]Look at Ethereum up 4.6%.

[00:10:20]Amazing days for the the two major players.

[00:10:26]Salana is up 4%.

[00:10:30]Rave, is that Ravencoin? What is that?

[00:10:32]We'll have to ask uh Krux what that is.

[00:10:35]Rave USD up 13% today. Good God Almighty.

[00:10:42]There's so many coins I can't keep up with. That's why we bringing Krooks on to help us out. All right. Uh but yeah, great day overall and it is looking really good for us. Now, let me bring back up the uh our slide here and we're going to talk about some crypto news.

[00:10:59]So, our crypto news today is all about the move up, right? Bitcoin 78K fake out. Bitcoin briefly hit uh guys the uh 76 on cooling PPI and P signals triggering a $650 million liquidation before retreating.

[00:11:22]Now we're much higher. Uh fear eases selloff looms. market bounces from extreme fear but leveraged and tax season sell pressure cap further could cap further gains and we'll you know I'll have to ask Krux this too guys again drop your comments in the section in this uh in this live stream because I have a lot of questions as well is the tax season something that is beneficial for crypto or is it is it something that is uh not beneficial Are people going to be selling their crypto because of tax season? That's, you know, one of the questions that we're posing this week.

[00:12:05]All right. And institutional backs stop.

[00:12:08]Morgan Stanley ETF inflows and institutional products provide a strong floor for the current rally. H, we know those ETFs, man. those ETFs definitely uh put a bid under the markets, right, of the major currency, cryptocurrencies, your bitcoins or Ethereums, and then that money kind of trickles downward. It's a top- down approach to uh fueling the altcoin rally. Now, one thing I did not show you that I want to show you really quickly is my favorite chart, which is an altcoin chart actually, and it is this one here.

[00:12:50]This is the total three.

[00:12:53]So, this is every cryptocoin except Bitcoin and Ethereum.

[00:12:58]And we uh earlier this week, we were watching on Wednesday whether or not we would drop back down into the pennant.

[00:13:06]And lo and behold, we double tapped it right here. Boom. And boom. And off to the races we went. very very strong move off of the uh downward trend line and we are past a lot of levels guys. The only area I have left to uh make sure we keep an eye out on is that previous high for the altcoins which would put us at roughly $753 billion market cap. So we are currently uh about 1% away from that. So again, this aligns with us being 1% away from an area significant area of resistance. This aligns with us being literally 1% away. I'm just eyeballing it because I didn't bring the ruler out.

[00:13:57]1 and a.5% away, 1 and a4% away from the next resistance area, strong resistance area for Bitcoin. So we have um markets aligning here and these technicals are aligning. So, this is an area you just want to watch um going into the weekend.

[00:14:15]I don't know what's going to happen.

[00:14:16]There's rumors that we're going to go we're going back into Iran over the week. I don't know if it's true or not.

[00:14:22]That would be a negative for the markets if that were the case. So, you just want to be careful going into the weekend.

[00:14:30]But without further ado, let's go ahead and bring up today's guest, my guy Crux of Crypto. This is actually so crazy.

[00:14:38]It's the first time I've had him on.

[00:14:40]It's the first time I've had uh Krux of Cryp Crypto on. So, what a pleasure to have you on, brother. Thanks for tuning in with us and locking in with Weekly News Rap. How are you, bro?

[00:14:52]>> What's going on, Krypto Blood? Hey, first of all, I didn't know Bart Simpson's head was that big. So, hey, every single day you learn something new. I see your chat going crazy right now. They're talking about Trump. He's about to dump the markets, man. Wild.

[00:15:07]>> Yeah, man. Thank you for Yeah, thank you for tuning in with us, man. And uh we we know you're the altcoin uh pro and I'm excited myself to talk to someone that like pretty much just focuses on altcoins. I, you know, I don't know too many people just that just focuses on altcoins and so I'm glad to talk to you. I know people that focus on meme coins only. I know people that focus on like, you know, gamefi coins, but you focus in on and your um expertise level or area is altcoins in general. So that's great. Tell us um a little bit about yourself first though before we start to make this deep dive.

[00:15:48]>> Yeah, so I started in crypto about 2020.

[00:15:51]Uh I did fairly well in my first bull market. Uh actually did very well in my first bull market. made it a little past seven figures and then I lost a good amount back in May of 2021. So, if you guys were around in crypto around that time, uh, a lot of people took a beating. Um, I diamond handed it through. I took some profits back in that Q4 pretty close to that peak. Uh, but as I went into this next bull market about a year ago or about two years ago, I started to create content. So, um, I hopped on board with uh, maybe some of you've heard of him, Ta, uh, Tim Warren and then also Taylor Shrum. So, uh, two of the the bigger guys from, uh, the CryptoJ days if you're around last bull market and, uh, we've just been creating content ever since. And, uh, we are building these brands and, uh, just trying to be the next era of cryptocurrency.

[00:16:36]>> Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. That's great, man. Yeah, I remember the CryptoJ days. Uh, definitely. And shout out to Tim Warren. I'm gonna have to get him on. He's a he's another great content creator in the crypto space. Um, so let's go ahead and uh let's dive into a little bit of this situation we got on the screen, which is I want to kind of touch on some of these headlines, bro.

[00:17:03]So, kind of give me your your take on the markets uh in general. Like, >> how do you feel about this move up? Um what is causing this move up in your opinion? And will the altcoins ultimately lead the way? I mean, they've been doing very well so far. What's your take on a just kind of give us a bird's eye view of of everything right now?

[00:17:28]>> Yeah. So, this is the first time we actually got over the 100 week 100week standard moving average uh since 1010. So, that was a significant event.

[00:17:38]It was the biggest liquidation event in crypto history. That's whenever you had I I believe the I believe it was actually a White House insider mixed with somebody with knowledge of the Binance event where there was an oracle that was exploited. Uh so 1010 led to like $20 billion in liquidations within a 48 hour period. And ever since that day, Bitcoin has been under a 100week standard moving average. So this is the first time. Congrats. We are back over that. Uh but I don't want you to go ahead and throw all those longs in just yet. Just like Cryptoblood said earlier, everybody is smart after the fact, right? Uh we still have this thing called the four-year cycle.

[00:18:14]>> I personally believe that we're in Q quarter two. So earlier you referenced, you know, Shaquille O'Neal, we're in that fourth quarter. Uh I think we're about halftime. We're just coming out of halftime. Uh you know, we're down a little bit, but I think Q4, October of this year is where we bottom out around $40,000. It's a bold take. I'm sure a lot of people are not super happy to to hear about that, but I think up until ju just like you showed a couple more percentages up, we probably come off of that uh that resistance. Uh but we'll be we will see in the next couple five, six months, we'll probably go back and forth. Um but I think it's going to be down and right.

[00:18:50]>> Oh, okay. So, you think down and right?

[00:18:53]Interesting. Interesting.

[00:18:54]>> Yeah, I can go more in depth if you would like. I got a chart ready to go.

[00:18:57]>> Oh, let's let's do it. Let's bring your chart up really quickly. Um, let's see what uh what we've got brewing here with Krux.

[00:19:05]>> Yeah, this is probably my favorite chart to kind of explain what the four-year cycle is. Um, I am a four-year cycle theorist, of course. Um, and this is the best for macro. So, earlier we talked about like near-term price action when we're longing, we're shorting these shorter term uh shorter term time frames, adding leverage, and that's how you can you can make a lot of money in crypto. Um, but if you're an investor and you're holding on longterm, what you see over here on the far left is going to be where Bitcoin was created out of that 2008 financial collapse uh or housing collapse rather and then Satoshi comes out 2009 drops this on us. And what we see is every 3 years the uh well every fourth year rather the OGs that have been mining since 2009 usually dump on us for about a year and this is called a bare market. Um, and what I'm waiting on as a long-term holder, as you can see, the the green line is going to be the OGs. These are the people that have been mining really. Uh, actually just earlier, there was a a dormant wallet that woke up from 15 years ago that just dumped I think 15,000 Bitcoin.

[00:20:07]Um, so as you can see, the orange line is going to be your Bitcoin price. This goes up. This is retail and it's also institutions. So like the Michael Sailors of the world. And then for three years straight, up up and then they dump for a year. uh which would be your up and right right here. But the sideways price action is just the OG's waiting.

[00:20:25]You know, they're waiting. Price goes up and then they dump for a year. Boom. And then every single bull market accumulization zone, right?

[00:20:33]Accumulization. Is that accumul accumulization? Mhm.

[00:20:37]>> Mhm. That's when they're just waiting because retail is just going to keep buying, buying, buying. Price goes up.

[00:20:42]They dump for a year and then every single error, check this out. you get the cross between the realized price of what the OG sold at and then the dumping of Bitcoin's price. So, every single era way back here, era one, it crossed, era 2, it crossed, era 3, era 4. And all I'm waiting for waiting on is for this to come down and cross. So, Bitcoin's price still needs to come down. The way it's going to come down is the OGs over time are going to continue to sell.

[00:21:10]>> Um, and it's it's tough because we're like, >> you know, Trump just came through. he uh you know he just made a way for Bitcoin to pump overnight you know but we just don't know like the OG's just sitting they're chopping at the bits they actually own 65% of all Bitcoin retail owns uh institutions rather and governments own about 18% and I'm a firm believer believer of he who owns the crypto controls the price so that's my take interesting so it's you know it's crazy how markets work and and participants play uh within the markets because I have the same conviction but I just have I come I come to that conclusion from a different solution right my equation is different our answer is the same >> uh so that's interesting that you you break it down that way and uh I haven't heard that perspective so that's great to hear another person's perspective on kind of the markets that's the thing about it as well like a lot of people are excited as you stated Trump really threw off especially the last six seven weeks it's been chaotic and um he because of his you know he's been coming out giving different headlines as you stated kind of manipulating the markets and front running um and so I think it has definitely thrown things off and I'm just personally cautious with this rally where we are uh today um we have man I saw this this morning. Look at this. 400 million worth of shorts liquidated.

[00:22:50]>> Wow.

[00:22:51]>> In crypto this morning in the past just in four hours. Just in four hours. So, a slaughterfest going on there. Uh for sure. So, that's interesting, bro.

[00:23:01]That's interesting. So, what I want to ask you if we uh we can just go ahead and bring this chart back up here. Um, what about the where are we in this fear greed cycle right now? I know we got a pop on the fear and greed index which is kind of like a dayto-day thing but um based on your mining that chart that you showed us like how far are we from do you think we are from making that bottom area and um what is our price point for Bitcoin on that bottom roughly?

[00:23:38]>> Yeah. So this is this is wild because we have this thing called diminishing returns diminishing losses. So last bull market we went from 126 or no we went from sorry 69 all the way down to 155 uh for a 70% or a 77% pullback. So what I've basically done every single bare market is we lose 7% less than the prior. So I think we're going to go down about 70% from the 126k which is why I came up with the 40,000 price target.

[00:24:08]But here's the issue because since you know we have diminishing losses we also have diminishing returns. So in 2021 we had a 22x. In this last bull market we had an 8.3x from 155 to 126.

[00:24:23]>> Um so if I take 40% of the multiple of the previous uh multiple then it should put us at a 3.2x of the 40,000 price.

[00:24:33]And that would only put us at like a whatund,000.

[00:24:37]Uh so that's why I do believe that the Bitcoin four-year cycle must break this bull market. And uh I think the institutions alongside the Clarity Act are going to allow that to happen which is pretty good. Uh and at that point it's like crypto especially Bitcoin moves forever up and right at such as gold you know like a naturally uh just moving asset. So >> yeah, >> that's kind of where I'm at right now.

[00:25:01]You know, going all the way into Q3, Q4, we're we're going lower. And I'm about at this point about 70% probable. And I know it's it's tough to fathom because you look at like Cali or you look at these betting odds and it actually past like week has been going up and up and up as far as like the bottom is in but people are super reaction >> of course but but they're Yeah, exactly.

[00:25:23]They're react they're reacting to the manipulation.

[00:25:26]>> Yeah, >> the markets are are reacting to manipulation in my opinion. And so yeah, it's going to look that way. But the higher we go, the more the more real conviction you need for that to actually continue.

[00:25:39]>> So if it's if it's built on a house of cards, it's going to fall apart the higher we go.

[00:25:45]>> And so but I hey, you can't put it past Trump. I don't know what he's going to say next. He could come out and say something just insane like Iran is going to be the 51st state of United States. I mean, and we just go crazy again like we did with Canada, man. That's just I don't know what's going to happen.

[00:26:03]That's he throws a a monkey wrench in these markets for sure uh with this rhetoric. So, it's going to it's been very challenging for those who are investors. Now, do you you you don't trade at all. You just kind of pick different altcoins and such to build your portfolio.

[00:26:20]>> Yeah. So, it's very interesting. This next bull market, I'm actually going going to start trading. I'm going to acquire a lot more Bitcoin than I currently have and just for the most part trade that Bitcoin now. Okay. How I've done more or less like as a really a crypto analyst is just focusing the altcoins and that's my leverage. So instead of buying Bitcoin, I'll buy Hyperlquid or you know Salana and that's kind of just my way instead of three or 5xing my Bitcoin in a leverage trade. Uh but I do think that there are definitely advantages of taking >> the near-term price action swings just like you saw today and being able to make a lot of money >> uh just you know off leverage.

[00:27:00]>> Right. Right. Excellent. Excellent. So what about um macro driven regime easing inflation and geopolitical uh topics? Are you keeping an eye? You have to be really watching kind of the inflation numbers and PPI.

[00:27:15]And we got at the end of this month, we have um a FOMC meeting. That is going to be very interesting.

[00:27:23]Will you say what what's going to happen with the FOMC this coming uh meeting because they to me they're stuck crooks?

[00:27:32]They're stuck in uh between a rock and a hard place.

[00:27:35]>> Mhm.

[00:27:35]>> Because they really can't lower rates because look at where oil prices are.

[00:27:40]Look where energy prices, food, fertilizer, all these things are going higher because of the Middle East uh situation. So they to me can't lower rates, but at the same time, if they increase rates, Trump is going to obliterate the Federal Reserve.

[00:28:00]So tell me tell me what you think about this upcoming FOMC meeting we have. Um when in a couple is it a couple weeks?

[00:28:08]Uh yeah, it's like probably a little like >> 29th. Yeah, 29th, I think. Or 2. Yeah, it's the 29th. Yeah, 29th.

[00:28:15]>> Yeah. So, it's already basically 99% that they're not going to lower the rates. Um really since those three rate cuts of last year, we had September, October, we skipped November, and then we went December. And since January of this year, we've just held uh static or we just held solid. And at that point, it's like, all right, when are they going to cut? Okay, inflation's going up because oil prices, uh, you know, Fed Chow, uh, Fed Chair Powell, his last one is going to be in May. So, he's going to be replaced. I think that's going to lead to a short-term pump. But overall, like your question about what are we doing with inflation? It's tough because we can't lower the rates. Unemployment's going down. AI is over here, you know, sapping jobs left and right. and the price is going up for everything, you know, because of the oil prices. Uh, so what I've seen is some of the major banks are calling for two rate cuts this year. I think that's very on the optimistic side. What I look at is what are the betting odds because usually people place in their money. It's a little bit more accurate. And the Fed themselves, they have said most likely one rate cut, at least kind of hinted towards it. Uh, we don't know when. I think Wall Street for the most part is thinking between zero and one rate cuts this year. And it's all because of how crazy uh or how volatile Trump has been.

[00:29:37]It's just so hard to get ahead of this.

[00:29:38]It's basically impossible at this point.

[00:29:41]Just like you said, like he could end the war today or we could see, I don't know, more events happening, you know, today as well. So, >> Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. It's Man, it's going it's going to be a tough one. I I don't I think they're going to go unchanged >> for the whole year.

[00:30:00]>> Oh, >> for the whole year.

[00:30:01]>> Well, yeah. You're not alone.

[00:30:02]>> For the whole year.

[00:30:03]>> Yeah.

[00:30:03]>> Yeah. For the whole year.

[00:30:04]>> I think maybe one. I don't know. But it would be like Q4 like sometime. And who knows, it might line up with my Q3, Q4 price swing. I think that also the Clarity Act might be stalled because of that. Like >> maybe they're just holding it, holding it, holding it, waiting for, >> you know, all of it to be able to be released at the same time. But that's speculation. We talked about the Clarity Act last week with Jenna X. Um, what's your take on that? I I I like that. Um, part of that is, you know, the CFTC is going to pretty much handle a lot of the crypto >> stuff. I like that. How How do you feel about the direction we're going?

[00:30:43]>> Yeah. So, Fed Chair Paul Ain, oh, not Fed Chair, uh, the CFTC chair, no, the SEC chair Paul Atkins, sorry, SEC chair Paul Atkins, he came out and he said specifically the only securities in crypto are going to be the securities that already exist in the traditional world. So, whenever we tokenize stocks such as like Tesla or Nvidia on a blockchain, those are considered securities.

[00:31:06]>> Securities, >> but your meme coins, your NFTts, your bitcoins, these are all commodities, which is absolutely major win. It's awesome. It is a major win for crypto.

[00:31:15]Um, and I think what we're waiting on, so there's Ono Finance, there's XStocks, there's all of these different tokenized uh, assets that are being created. And I think once the Clarity Act really comes through and they stamp their approval on this is what it is, you can do whatever you want as an institution. I don't think it's like a light switch, but uh because I do think there may be a possible buy the rumor, sell the news type event, but there's no bigger catalyst in crypto right now than the Clarity Act. And we will see. Uh you know, Brad Garlinghouse, he came out, he said 90% certainty it'll pass in April.

[00:31:47]Cynthia Lumis has been pretty vocal.

[00:31:49]Scott Besson's been vocal. Everyone's been vocal. And it seems like they might get it wrong because April is uh it's ticking and uh we, you know, I don't see any any signatures happening. So, >> nah, it's not. It hasn't been looking good. I've been following it this week as well. It's been a lot of slow up >> uh with the progression with that whole act. So, we'll see what happens.

[00:32:12]Definitely see what happens. Um let's go ahead and talk about >> um the Genius Act. That's another one um with the stable coins.

[00:32:21]>> Um that's a big one as well, right?

[00:32:26]>> Yeah. So, um, with the Genius Act, that one definitely targeted more of the stable coin, which is going to be your infrastructure, your onboarding into crypto, and this is the this is the the biggest thing about this last bull market. And the reason I kept calling it the regulatory cycle, and most people were calling it the institutional cycle.

[00:32:44]Um, and the way I gauge it, like I said earlier, he who owns the Bitcoin controls the price. So if the OGs own 65 and then institutions own 18% at any time the OGs can dump on the institutions and that's just kind of how it works. Uh but if I look at 2021 exposure of crypto you had like Gayscale Tesla Micro Strategy some institutions were involved they had about 9%. So I think every four years at this point institutions will own double from 9 to 18 where they're currently at and then 36% most likely by 2029 which is why I think we're not going to go into a bare winter. Um but with the Genius Act in particular, this is what allowed the the onboarding st uh stable coins. The Clarity Act is going to allow the clarity of what rules that crypto must abide by. And then the next bull market is when we see the treasuries, the corporate treasuries. Uh because there's only two companies in the world that are in the top 700 by market cap, which is Micro Strategy and Tesla that own Bitcoin that are public companies. You have a couple private like SpaceX, but to me institutions are not here yet. We need the Genius Act. Well, the Genius Act already passed. It already set that foundation and the Clarity Act is the last punch before we go up and right.

[00:33:57]>> Yeah, interesting take. Yep. I agree with you. They kind of work hand in hand. Uh really um so partnerships. I just want to give you guys an update on some partnerships and ecosystem updates. So, DeFi goes in institutional. So, Ether.Fi and other partners with pregrade platforms or prograde platforms I should should say uh to drive compliant blockspace adoption. We've got that going on with that company. Etherfi. Are you are you familiar with EtherFi?

[00:34:29]>> I know a thing or two about them. Uh I would say Ethereum just as a whole is a beautiful blockchain. What they're doing over there and their TVL and just their onboard activity is second to none. So, Ether Fi is a big project over there.

[00:34:42]Yeah, Ripple payments scale as well. So, XRPL expands B2B utility and bank partnerships solidifying its lead in institutional settlement. Are you a XRP junkie?

[00:34:57]>> This >> are you one of those people, my friend?

[00:35:01]Are you Are you >> Yeah, man. This is a tough question. I'm going to be honest. XRP I love XRP. I am part of the XRP army. shout out. Go ahead. All >> right. So, >> drop some X in the chat, guys. Draw some X's in the chat. We got a XRP junkie here.

[00:35:18]>> I mean, you're looking at a a proof of I mean, it technically is proof of work.

[00:35:22]You got 1,500 TPS, so it's a fairly fast network. You're looking at about 100 transactions for a penny. So, they've they figured out what Satoshi couldn't figure out. So, I'll be honest with that. They figured out the scalability piece. Um, they took the centralized route. So they said to heck with decentralization and security and at this point they bought you know uh not Silk Road but a hidden road for I think $1.3 billion and now they have infrastructure that has been onboarded to DTCC which is one of the biggest institutions in uh in the world. A lot of people don't know what that institution is that they they handle all of the stock >> used to be the stock certificates uh for you know equities for the Wall Street stock market here in the United States.

[00:36:07]>> All that stuff is recorded there and and held there. So, my bet on XRP in particular is you got to figure out RLUSD and you got to get it on the RO um or yeah, and you got to get on the XRPL because right now like 70% of all RLUSD that's minted is on Ethereum's blockchain. So, XRP like you're creating a good product, but people aren't even using your blockchain. And I think that's kind of >> that's my concern. And then I don't you know I I like the company the concept of the parent the holding company Ripple is great >> if they go uh public they which they haven't right. They're not public are they?

[00:36:45]>> No they're not public.

[00:36:46]>> No they're not public. If they go public that's a to me a great company to invest in. But I'm just trying to find where the connection is and the value ad is for the token XRP >> because they're acquiring like companies like you just said um left and right and adding to their portfolio, but I just don't I want to know how that translates into value added to the XRP token. So that's where I'm still a little confused about.

[00:37:13]>> Yeah. So that's all pure speculation.

[00:37:15]I'll be honest with you. Brad Garlandhouse coming out talking about we're going to replace Swift, we're going to do this. So, we're going to do that. Um, it's pure speculation and the technologies, it's Id say it's okay.

[00:37:26]It's like C tier, >> you know, at this point we have, you know, DAGs and much better technologies out there.

[00:37:33]>> Um, >> and yeah, so at that point, you're just like I, you know, he's he's kind of in bed with the lawmakers like he's rubbing elbows with the right people and that's what you're investing in is, you know, him having those connections and them adopting it. So, I mean, we'll see.

[00:37:51]>> We will see.

[00:37:52]>> Yeah. What are your uh current what do you what do you see as current opportunities in the market right now?

[00:37:59]>> Crux.

[00:38:00]>> Yeah. So, I came out recently with my top seven picks. And chat, let me know what you think about these. So, first of all, I got to give Salana its nod.

[00:38:11]Salana did very well this last bull market. It survived.

[00:38:14]>> I'm Salana. I'm a Salana guy. Yeah, it survived Sam Bankmanf freed which is wild.

[00:38:20]>> Yeah.

[00:38:21]>> Yeah. And this is no order but hyperlquid man. So this project has absolutely been crushing it on the revenue side.

[00:38:28]>> I would say the token holders are very the way that their tokconomics are trash.

[00:38:33]>> So I I'll say that which is a big reason not to invest into it. But I think uh they're doing well as far as their first bull market going into their second. Um, there's one speculative project, Caspa.

[00:38:48]It's probably not your first time hearing about it, but there's uh I I like this is one that I'm very convicted in. If it goes to zero, I wouldn't be surprised, but there's a good amount of uh there's a good amount of risk-to-reward in that project, >> man. Discover I remember Discover Crypto were going they were going crazy over Casper.

[00:39:06]>> Yeah.

[00:39:07]>> For for a while, man. Yeah. That was >> I haven't heard about I haven't heard a lot about again I'm not an altcoin guy so maybe I'm just out of the loop. I'm just a trader but I haven't heard a lot about Casper in the in the last six to year.

[00:39:21]>> Yeah. So they got two hard forks coming up. one is going to be the the one that takes them from actually it adds so they have a new programming language called Silvercript and then also they have something called Vrogs and for the first time you're going to be able to program uh and actually compute offchain and then settle onchain without uh sacrificing composability or your sovereignty. So I know it's a lot of buzzwords in there. A lot of crypto projects try to throw buzzwords in there to get you to buy their stuff. Um, but if there's anything the chat should take away, check out VProgs. It's and I always look for like as a crypto analyst, what is different from this project than everything else?

[00:40:02]And you're talking about the guy who created decentralized assillated graphs which are more efficient than blockchains. So, I always invest in visionaries and that's why I hold true to Caspa.

[00:40:14]Um, >> that's why that's DAGs really um I I early on caught my attention. And that's why I was very excited and a holder still to this day of Hideera.

[00:40:25]>> Yeah, Hideera. Their hashgraph is a a a type of a a DAG. So you got like Casp who has like a ghost DAG, >> but Hideera is still a solid project.

[00:40:35]It's not in my top seven, but it's up there probably top 15. Very scalable.

[00:40:40]Their governance is is interesting. They have like 32 different companies from like IBM to Microsoft to Google. that's essentially decentralizing the network.

[00:40:51]So instead of like you, me, and whoever's mining Bitcoin in their grandma's basement who's calling governance, it's smart people in terms of like these are the biggest people in the world that control money. So it's decentralized in a centralized manner.

[00:41:05]>> Gotcha.

[00:41:06]>> Um, one other project maybe the chat has talked about is TA. I think that's a a beautiful project.

[00:41:12]>> I have been hearing about that.

[00:41:14]>> We had the pullback. There's a lot of stuff going on in that ecosystem right now. Uh I don't think we're out of the woods yet, but uh the founder, he has come forth. He's done an AMA and he's he's released some information on why it's not a scam. So those are just a couple projects that I think are solid.

[00:41:31]>> What's up with this one here, bro? I I want to know about um let me see if I can uh actually bring this up like this. Rav or rave, >> what's going on? Yes.

[00:41:45]>> Are you familiar with Rave?

[00:41:48]>> I've heard it a couple times. Really, it's just like the trending cryptocurrency on Coin Gecko or Coin Market Cap. Um, >> okay.

[00:41:55]>> I would not invest in any project because I always look in the white paper.

[00:41:59]>> The white paper specifically talks about music. It talks about community and all these like fun buzzwords, but there's no project in crypto that's ever won, you know, in terms of this thing's gone up and right and set a new all-time high after alltime high for multiple cycles that isn't like just like an L1 or artificial intelligence play. Like if it's Yeah. So, I I I've read a little bit into the white paper and I I would definitely stay away from that project just because of, you know, music's not going to sell and make over and over and over. Um, so yeah, it's >> Oh, so that's a music player. Gotcha.

[00:42:35]Yeah, that's I don't see that being not yet at least, >> especially with like AI music and stuff.

[00:42:42]How does that even I don't know how that's going to all integrate and play play together >> uh just quite yet.

[00:42:48]Um, all right guys, again, hit that like button, share this stream, and uh definitely go show Crooks some love, ladies and gents. He's been dropping alpha after alpha after alpha for us today. Look, I want you to really quickly, we're going to do this. We got to highlight week's updates. H5 browser.

[00:43:10]You might have seen it at the beginning of the live stream. Let's go ahead and take another look at this video.

[00:43:31]Wherever I go, I'm on home turf. Weeks mobile browsers. No download, just trading.

[00:43:54]Storage for memories. Freedom for trades. Weeks mobile browsers. No download. Just trading.

[00:44:11]Weak signal. Strong trade weeks mobile browsers. No download, just trading.

[00:44:22]>> All right, ladies and gents.

[00:44:27]That's a great little neat tool that Weeks has come up with. You don't have to download the app. I like that. Less apps is better for me.

[00:44:34]>> There you go.

[00:44:35]>> For sure. Uh we're at the at that point in time in the live stream, ladies and gentlemen, where it is an ask me anything, ask crooks anything.

[00:44:46]And uh I've got a few questions here that I've highlighted. Um as a derivatives heavy exchange, what leverage and risk management strategies do you recommend in this uncertain environment?

[00:45:01]Amulam 20 asks, um, so do you you don't really use too much leverage, right? You use crypto altcoins as your leverage.

[00:45:16]>> Is that correct?

[00:45:17]>> Yeah. If this guy in particular is talking about risk management strategies, you have to talk about stop losses, right?

[00:45:23]>> Yeah.

[00:45:23]>> But yeah, for for me, yeah, my leverage comes from the altcoins.

[00:45:28]>> Yeah. Yeah. As as far as my um answer to that, Emuam, I'm going to have to say that um first of all, you should only risk about 2% um well, I risk I shouldn't tell you what to do, but I risk only 2% of my account per trade. So, you'll have to back into those numbers and figure out um how to uh figure, you know, come to that trade size. But basically, how can I give you an example? So, basically, if you have a a $10,000 account, right? Um, when you're placing a long on Bitcoin, you should not risk any more than $200 on that trade. That's all that means. 2% risk per per trade. So, you may like in my uh in my case, I'm an uh what's called an algo trader or quant trader.

[00:46:26]So, I have like multiple trades open at one time. So, that makes it even more of a uh something you want to pay attention to because that's 200 times. Let's say you have five trades open. That's $1,000 you're risking. That's 10% of your overall account you're risking on five trades. Now, hopefully all five won't go wrong. It shouldn't. You should. You need to come to bloods.com if you have that problem. But that's kind of giving you some scope on how to keep your risk management together. 2% per trade, 2% of your account per trade is what I do.

[00:47:10]Um, here's one that I see from Selena.

[00:47:13]So if if Bitcoin suddenly reverses from here, what key support resistance levels and risk management strategy would you personally watch first?

[00:47:27]Krux Krux, what's your your take on that one?

[00:47:31]>> Key support, resistance level and risk management strategy would I personally watch first?

[00:47:37]I mean earlier you said about 2% up we go we come against that resistance.

[00:47:42]Mhm.

[00:47:43]>> I would probably not be longing right now. I I think there's a lot of signs on the charts to to short rather than long at this point. You know, we just went up quick. So, what you don't want to do is jump in after the fact like you mentioned earlier.

[00:47:56]>> Right. Right. Right. You don't want to you don't you want to buy at the top and end up selling at the bottom. That's the worst position to be in >> for sure.

[00:48:06]>> Um let's see here. Let me find I have one more here. So, thank you for that.

[00:48:11]We will definitely drop you your bonus to your UID. We appreciate that.

[00:48:18]Hustlers uh hustlers always rocks says, "With institutional inflow building a floor, does that mean dips are now buy opportunities instead of warning signs?"

[00:48:32]>> All right. So, I don't know if you you're just now tuning in, but I talked about the institutions and most of them are not yet getting in. I know like we talk about iBits, Black Rockck. These are retail products. So Black Rockck has not got with their lawyers yet in a board meeting and said he can take your hard-earned money and invest it. They are investing their clients money. So right now we got the regulation. It is it is almost set with the Clarity Act.

[00:48:58]>> And when we talk about uh the institutions building the floor, >> you know, I I would I would have patience because the Clarity Act, it could be maybe 2027. you know, a lot of people don't talk about it, but we went into this year thinking we're gonna get a ton of rate cuts, >> uh, and where they go, you know, so >> it's tough to to navigate these markets, but Trump makes it tough on purpose. I think he has everything under his control, and I would be just doing what that family is doing, and they're they're pretty big, if not the biggest family in all of crypto. Um, all of them are billionaires now. So, you got teenagers that are hundred million.

[00:49:34]>> Yeah.

[00:49:35]>> Oh, man. That family making out. They're making it money. They're making it rain.

[00:49:40]And Trump's going to pardon everybody on his way out. He said within 200 feet of the White House, baby. We That's what he said. Within 200 feet, you're getting a pardon. All right. Hey, I mean, hey, must be nice. Must be nice. So, um, man, it's been a pleasure. Crux of Crypto.

[00:51:06]>> Yeah, anytime you want to have me back on, blood, I will be here. Uh I'm just here to spread the the good word of crypto because you know we are in a asset class that is quickly growing.

[00:51:17]Fastest asset class of all time. Uh hit one trillion market cap much faster than Google and Apple. And I just want everybody to know you are still very early. So if you see Bitcoin, you're like, I I have to get the altcoin. I got to get the the the new shiny thing. You don't. Bitcoin will still hit seven figures and beyond. So you can dollar cost average. Do what most people should be doing and huddle. So I wore the shirt for you. Huddle those bags.

[00:51:44]>> There you go, Krooks. Man, appreciate it again. Uh look forward to having you on in the future, my friend.
