WEBVTT - The Mark Moss Show Oct 15, 2021

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey, welcome back. You're still listening to the Mark Moa

0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:05.399
<v Speaker 1>show where I talk about bitcoin, I talk about cryptocurrencies,

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and I talked about the decentralized revolution, and of course

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>each and every week, I'm bringing to you the asymmetric information,

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the information most people don't know, don't have, so you

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>can have an edge of the market, so you can

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>have the asymmetric upside of having that information. Now, we've

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>been going over a lot of stuff so far today.

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>If you're just tuning in, don't miss next week. Pull

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>out your phone right now, set of calendar appointment for

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>this time on this channel. I'm gonna be with you

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>each and every week. But we've been talking about the

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>debt ceiling, the FED printing a lot of money, um

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>the catalyst that drive the price of bitcoin up. We

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>talked about how it's back to the level it wasn't

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>it's been about five months since it's been there, and

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.599
<v Speaker 1>really understanding that there's two factors that drive that. One

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>network effects the amount of people coming in, but also

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the development that's going on. And so we talked about

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Bank of America coming on, bringing on more customers, more development,

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. But I have brought a good friend, an

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>old friend into the studio with me. Right now. I

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>got Windy. Oh, she's known as crypto Windy Oh on Twitter.

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Give her a follow, look her up, um, just crypto Windy. Oh.

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>And anyway, Wendy, thanks for joining me. Mark, thanks so

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.279
<v Speaker 1>much for having me. I. You know, we've been friends

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>for quite some time, and it's just so cool to

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 1>come up with people that you love and come up

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>with like awesome people to surround yourself with. It's like

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>it's a great thing because if I never need anything,

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I can call you on the phone. Hay Mark, Hay Mark,

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>can you help me with this? What do I do

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>with this? And You're like, hey, calm down, it's okay,

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>we can do so just thanks for being you. Yeah,

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.559
<v Speaker 1>that's that's awesome. You know, we've both been working hard

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>over over a long number of years now and uh,

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>just for everybody listening, she just got done doing a

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>segment on Fox News, and uh, I was lucky to

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>snag her right after she was done on Fox News.

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>So so she's doing out big things as well. What

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>were you guys talking about on Fox News? Well, we

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>talked a little bit about our good friend Bitcoin's good

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>friend Peter Schiff, because Peter Schiff is apparently mining gold

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>at Nottsberry Farm and southern California, And I know you

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>guys can get that joke with a little a little

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>thing over there. So we talked a little bit about

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Peter Schiff and then um, we also talked about, you know,

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.399
<v Speaker 1>how to how to kind of spot some crypto gems

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, Peter Schiff is a is a

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>funny story. You know, it's uh, it's it's funny. It's

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little bit sad. Um. You know, when I

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of I made a lot of money and in

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.519
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight I got wiped out. Um, I

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>knew how to make money, but I didn't understand this

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>financial system. And so when I started learning, like Peter

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Schiff was like very instrumental in helping me figure out

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>why we need to sound money. Him and Mike Maloney

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>were both both a piece of that. And and from

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>like an Austrian um economist side, like he gets it.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>He understands the problems of the financial system, but he

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>just won't give up on gold, I guess for whatever reason,

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's not working well. I think I think what

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>it is is Peter is a very smart man, and

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people on social media they're marketers. That's

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the name of the game. And Peter has

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>is found that by being an enemy of bitcoin, it

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>is bringing him attention, it is bringing clout, it is

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>bringing clicks, it's bringing revenue in. So why wouldn't you

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>want to start a a internet beef with with with bitcoin? Well,

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's I think you're right on the mark

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>with that, and and there's a number of people that

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>are trying to do the same thing that Hanky's kind

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>of doing the same thing as well. But what's interesting

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.399
<v Speaker 1>with Schiff is, I mean he runs a gold company,

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and so you know gold was money for five thousand years.

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Now the money follow the money, right. But but what's

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>interesting about that is, as I'm just thinking through it

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>is gold, gold is money for five thousand years. Now

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Bitcoin is kind of becoming the store value. So he's

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>he sees that kind of attack on his gold for example. Um,

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>but if he kept the attack on what the Feds doing,

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>then it keeps it could still kind of make gold

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>look good. But when he keeps making gold compared to bitcoin,

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>all it does is make it worse. Right, Well, this

0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>is the thing. He has a personal interest in gold

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>for multiple reasons. He's invested, he's got the company, he's

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>got the courses, he's got all these things. And he

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>also sees all of the interaction on Twitter, on social media,

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>all the backlash because, let's face it, bitcoin maximalist, I

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.159
<v Speaker 1>respect their right to be so passionate about something, but

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>some of them can be a little bit toxic, and

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>he knows how to poke, to push their buttons and

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>rile them up. That's why he's doing it. And at

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, people humans, they have personal

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 1>areas of interest, and his personal area of interest is

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>himself and his company and his money. Therefore, he's doing

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>all of this fighting back and forth with the maximalist

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>because it gets traction, is getting interaction, and it's worked

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>out very well for him. So why why side with

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the bitcoin maximalist when he can simply continue to build

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>his wealth and his brand on the hostility. Yeah, and

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and and and your right on that. And that's unfortunately,

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>it's unfortunately that's the way that engagement really gets going today, right,

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is inciting that kind of anger, and really that us

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>versus them mentality. And so if they can put bitcoin

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>against gold, now I would like for bitcoin and gold

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 1>people to both rally against the government. That would seem better, um,

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>but it would also make gold look better because he

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 1>could at least kind of argue that it's held as

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>purchasing power. But again, comparing it to gold hasn't been

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen some of the stuff his son has

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>been tweeting out? You know what, again, it's a very

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a marketing tactic. What they're doing is a

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.039
<v Speaker 1>marketing tactic. So that's why one of the I'm going

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>to drop a piece of alpha for the audience. The

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>biggest piece of alpha I could drop for you is

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 1>follow the money and don't necessarily believe everything you see

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>on the internet. Listen to different people, listen to what

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>they're saying, but make your own assumptions because a lot

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>of theatrics go on. Back in the day, we used

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to go watch plays and we used to see people perform.

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Then we went to the movies. There's different areas of entertainment,

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>but now all of the entertainment we see has all

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>done on line. Twitter is a stage. Yeah, and so

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you know it's interesting before the Internet, it was the

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>problem was getting the information. Today is we have too

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>much information, so now it's like trying to discern the information.

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>So um, the problem has changed. But yeah, it's it's

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a it's a different skill set unfortunately that most people need.

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I agree. I agree, And it's it's kind of hard

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>to filter out information like what is real, what isn't real,

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>and then finding that in the middle and the media

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and people like Peter schi if they know how to

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>play on our emotions, they know how to play on

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>things that are near and dear to our hearts, and

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what he does with the Maximalists. And you know,

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.039
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of comical times, like I just sit back

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, you know what, I see what you're doing.

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I see you over there, and I just don't even

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>comment anymore. And it's just it's just it's just all

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>it's all for the lulls. So um. You know we've

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 1>been talking about, like I said, I was talking about

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the the debt ceiling, I'm talking about how the more

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>money they print, the more you know, the less the

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>purchasing power goes down, which is these are factors, which

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>is why, um, what you store your wealth and matters

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>and why bitcoin goes up. I've talked about the the adoption,

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I like I kind of wrapped it

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>up for you with US Bank bringing on custody. We

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>talked about there's potentially an e t F that they

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>say has a seventy chance of coming on online. I

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>think they're e gauging that through the betting markets kind

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of scene where that's going. And so really in these

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>new technologies, it's about seeing the network effects grow. So

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>that's the users and then also development and so these

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>new features and stuff like that, and and that that's

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that I like to look at. I was

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>saying that I think some of this short term this

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>price is a is a distraction a little bit. And

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I say that for me personally, and I want to

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to bring you onto counter this for people

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>that are listening, because, um, you know, for me, I mean,

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm busy, I'm working, I gotta I got a business,

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I got a family, and so I'm kind of like

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>this long term investor. I always kind of have been.

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>And so I think in things in terms of years. Typically,

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean I got my teeth cut in real estate

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>development and those were two or three year product X,

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>So like that's kind of time frames I look at.

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>So the short term price I it's too much distraction

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>for me, but I know that you keep up with that,

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>and so I'd like to talk about that a little bit,

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>um and and you can fill us in a little

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>bit on that short term price action because I know

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>that you're an expert in that. UM and so we

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>were talking about how, you know, bitcoin just popped up

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to fifty five thousand, which I think it's been about

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>five months since it's been there. UM, before you tell

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>us where you think it is, what's going to happen next,

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>because I know you've got the crystal ball. Before you

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>tell us that, I wanna pause for one second. When

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 1>we get back, I want you to then explain to

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>us where you think it's going to go, because I

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>know you have a good edge with that, and so

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 1>people want to stay up with that real quick. If

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you're listening in you're listening to the Mark Mo Show,

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about bitcoin, I'm talking about cryptocurrencies. I'm talking

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>about the digital revolution to decentralized revolution. I'm on with

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>my good friend crypto Windy. Oh. If you're on Twitter,

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.360

<v Speaker 1>you can tune with me each and every week and

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll be right back with crypto Windio to find out

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>what is going to happen with the bitcoin price action

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>when we come back. All right, welcome back. You're listening

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 1>to the Mark Mos Show. We're talking about bitcoin, We're

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 1>talking about cryptocurrencies. We are talking about the decentralized revolution,

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and I've been talking about uh for the for this

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 1>whole show. Now I'm talking about these big fundamental factors

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>why it's pushing bitcoin up. But I'm here with my

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>good friend crypto Windy Oh. Find her on Twitter at

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>crypto Windy Oh. Give her a follow, um, and she

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>is kind of an expert on looking at this price

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>action on shorter time frames, and so Crypto Windyo with Windy,

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>we're we're back up above around. We haven't been there

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 1>for I don't know five months. I think at this point, Um,

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>what are you seeing in the price action? I guess

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 1>at this point. So this is the thing they're like,

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 1>people get so excited and they get so fixated on price,

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and I get it. But if you're not like somebody

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 1>like yourself, that's like in this for the long haul,

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>long term investor, you don't have to be so concerned

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.199
<v Speaker 1>on the price. Like if if you believe in something

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.079
<v Speaker 1>dollar cost average weekly or dollar cost average or whatever.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people tend to forget that when you

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>work like a traditional line to five. I don't anymore.

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>But when you work at nine five, you pull money out,

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 1>you have your company or whoever it is, automatically put

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 1>it into a four oh one K or I ra

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>A or whatever traditional financial product there is. And that's

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>essentially dollar cost average, and you're letting somebody else manage

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.959
<v Speaker 1>your money. But with bitcoin, we get to do ourselves,

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>so people tend to and when your dollar cost averaging you,

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 1>it takes the emotions out. It takes the emotions out

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>because you're just dumping money in and you're looking way.

0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>But as far as with bitcoin today, yes we are

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>close to that area. We did have a bit of

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>a pullback which we discussed on my YouTube show because

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I do daily technical analysis Sunday night live streams. But

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing a lot of people get very excited about

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>like this price. It's like, oh my god, Oh my god.

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>And you can also see, like on the Twitter feed,

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you can see you can tell when bitcoin is green

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>because everybody's happy. And then when bitcoin is read and

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>we get a red candle, it's like it's the end

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>of the world. So me personally, like, unless I'm going

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to get into a scalp or a longer term swing

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>trade or whatnot, I'm i focus on price because it

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 1>determines what I'm gonna do with my all coin investments.

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, it's not something that's going

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to drive me crazy. And I know we're seeing a

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of crazy predictions. We have people. I want to

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 1>say it was Bobby Lee. He came out and said

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 1>two thousand dollar bitcoin en stuff like that's ridiculous. It's

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>absolutely ridiculous because the amount of capital that would need

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to flow into bitcoin would need to be pretty significant. Yes,

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>you can track that with John chain analytics and with

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 1>wallet addresses, etcetera. But realistically, people are going to invest

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to trade when they want to trade.

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>So as far as like this, this notion about being

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with price, you don't do that with your four

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.560
<v Speaker 1>oh one K. I doubt many of you. Like how

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>many times Mark, have you ever had a four O

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>one K? I do, yeah, and I never check it

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and never look at it. Okay, see you don't check in,

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And I can guarantee a lot of the audience resonates

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>with that you have four O one K. Only time

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.439
<v Speaker 1>you check it is when you get those scoofy silly

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 1>print outs from your job. Whatever. I never did. I

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.319
<v Speaker 1>was like, I'm throwing this out. I would throw them out.

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 1>So as far as Bitcoin, I'm very optimistic for quarter four.

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm opten, very very optimist supercore four, but one of

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the things I want to drop, and then the panic's

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>another piece of alpha. This bull run is different than

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the other bull runs, and this is gonna be a

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit of fundamental aspects coming in. We have n

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>f T s that are fully functioning, we have defy

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>ecosystems that are fully functioning, and we have crypto projects

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that have actually created viable ecosystems that are functioning. We

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't have that, and I'm noticing that money is fulling

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>from n f t s to defy two all coins

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.079
<v Speaker 1>tow Bitcoin, rinse and repeat, and I feel like that

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:58.599
<v Speaker 1>is essentially helping to keep Bitcoin propped up, which is outstanding.

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a beautiful eCos system. But as far as price action,

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I you know, even if we were to drop down

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to thirty dollars again, which I doubt that's going to

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 1>happen this quarter, but if we do, I'm still bullish

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and we're still in a bull run. I still think

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:13.679
<v Speaker 1>that we are still in a bull run, and I

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>do think that we are going to see eight five

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to about a hundred thousand dollar bitcoin. Wow, I've been

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.719
<v Speaker 1>I've been saying that. You know, I try to I

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>try to remain conservative, um kind of to your point

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.079
<v Speaker 1>about Twitter, kind of almost schizophrenic based off of where

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.599
<v Speaker 1>the price is. Because the price is so volatile, and

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing this for so many years. I try

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to really limit myself. I don't want to get too

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 1>excited when the price goes up, because then I don't

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.559
<v Speaker 1>want to get too depressed if it goes back the

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>other way. So I just try to be like, you know, uh,

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>if I if I set my long term time frames

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.959
<v Speaker 1>and that doesn't really matter what happens in the short term.

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.959
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I've been saying I think about a hundred

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand by the end of the year. Um. But of course,

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's anybody's guess. Um. One thing I hear

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>from a lot of people, and I'd like to get

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>your opinion on this. UM. One thing I hear from

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people is they say, UM, you know,

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.839
<v Speaker 1>I've learned. I've learned from these you know for the

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 1>last bowl market, and this time I'm going to sell

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>at the top and then I'll buy. They didn't. No, no,

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>they didn't, No, no, nothing, they didn't. But they're saying

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:16.599
<v Speaker 1>now that I learned, so that they didn't know. But

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying is no, they did not learn. And

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the reason the reason why they did not learn. I

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 1>am very active on TikTok, I'm active on YouTube, I'm

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 1>active on Twitter, I'm active on all these social media

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>platforms is my job. And the type of comment like

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I made a video saying I am going to be

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>selling about six of my crypto portfolio. As you know,

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna continue to do that when I

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>say I'm selling, I'm just taking profit on the way up.

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting those into stable coins, I'm putting those onto

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 1>D five platforms and earning paths of income. The reason

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>why I'm doing this is because I'm minted bigating my risk.

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I do a lot of technical analysis, and technical analysis

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>is a tool that we can use to time the market.

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, there's other things that impacted,

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>like emotions and psychology and just how I'm feeling that day.

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm taking profit on the way up. But

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are not doing that. And I

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 1>see it because they call me all kinds of things

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and my mentions and my comments, and I'm like, you

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>know what, you don't want to mitigate risk. Don't mitigate risk.

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.760
<v Speaker 1>That's on you. But this is my income. This is

0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>how I live, that is how I pay my bills.

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna be mitigating my risk. But they're not

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>doing that. They're they're not. And you can't time the

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>market perfectly. If you can time the market, if you

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>can time bitcoin within five thousand dollars of all time high,

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you did good, You did really really good. Well. The

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 1>problem is is that we you know, when you look

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>at a chart, because so volatile, you see these huge

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>peaks and valleys and you look at and go, oh,

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't I should have just sold right there, and

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>then I would have bought back in right there. But

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the problem is you don't know when that top is

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the bottom is until you're looking backwards at it, and

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>so like the hindsight kind of thing, but the reality

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is we don't know, and there's so many other factors

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>that play in. One thing that's cool with bitcoin I

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>was talking about earlier, different than any other market is

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that we have on chain analytics, and so the on

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>chain analytics are are helpful at least a little bit

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to kind of see are the big whales buying, the

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>big addresses buying? Is that the small retail buying? Like

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 1>who's selling? Um? Do you do? You look at that

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff? Um? I pay attention to it, but

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 1>not super heavily because the way my mind works is

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I like to focus on technical analysis, and the reason

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 1>why is because it helps me. If I'm looking at

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>too many things, my mind is like, Okay, well what

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>about this? What about this? What about that? So I

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>tend to not do as well. But when I cover

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>things on my show, we sometimes do look at on

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>chain analytics our analysis. And the reason why that's so

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>important is because when we're looking at traditional financial products,

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>like people use a Bloomberg terminal, that's what you use,

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and with bitcoin, we don't have a Bloomberg terminal, Like

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>we don't really have quarterly reports, we don't have income

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 1>statements or whatever they use for that. That's silly, goofy

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>traditional finance stuff. But with bitcoin, on chain analytics are important.

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Mining economics are important. When are the miners taking profit,

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 1>you prop you kind of want to pay attention to

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>that stuff because they're the ones that are doing the

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>O t C deals like they have to sell. So

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>we need to look at on chain analytics, We need

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 1>to look at mining economics. We need to look at

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.159
<v Speaker 1>liquidations when it comes to exchanges because there's a lot

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of people that are taking out these big positions and

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you can track all that stuff. So it's important to

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.119
<v Speaker 1>focus on all of these different aspects because even with

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the chain analytics, you can see when the whales are fine,

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>but you can also see how many wallets have been dormant,

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:25.360
<v Speaker 1>who's holding et cetera. And that's a beauty of blockchain technology. Yeah. Yeah,

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.520
<v Speaker 1>it definitely changes a lot of things. I know. UM,

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>over here on in Puerto Rico of one of my

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 1>one of my new best friends, I've only made two,

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.880
<v Speaker 1>so he fits there. But he runs a hedge fund

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and he's you know, he's trading different assets and he's

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>not really into bitcoin, but I keep telling on them, like, man,

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.119
<v Speaker 1>the data that you have there, it really changes everything. UM,

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 1>I want to get into um some things about you

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.960
<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier, like scalp trading, swing trading, and um this

0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of new batch of these TikTok traders and stuff.

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.719
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna talk about that when we get back. Um,

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you are listening to the Mark Moss Show. We're talking

0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>about bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, the decentralized Revolution. I am here with

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Crypto Windy. Oh give her a follow on Twitter Crypto

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.359
<v Speaker 1>Windy O. Um, of course I am one Mark Moss

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter. So send us some messages. We'd love to

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 1>hear from you and we'll be right back. Hey everyone,

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 1>welcome back. You are listening to the Mark Moss Show.

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about bitcoin. We're talking about cryptocurrencies and the

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:21.920
<v Speaker 1>decentralized revolution. Literally the biggest wealth transfer we have ever seen,

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the biggest one you will ever see. And the way

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to take advantage of it, the way the profit from

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>it is to have asymmetric information. That means information that

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 1>most people don't have, which is why you need to

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.440
<v Speaker 1>tune in with me h and every week, UM with

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>my good friend Wendy UM. You can find her on

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Twitter at crypto Windy. Oh she's on YouTube as well,

0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>so make sure to give her a follow, send her

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a message telling you heard her here on the show. UM.

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.919
<v Speaker 1>And before before the break, she had mentioned something about

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, swing trading and um scalpel trading and all

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>these different techniques. UM. And she also mentioned like her

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>audiences on social media, like TikTok for example. And we've

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.360
<v Speaker 1>seen over the last year really since the pandemic broke out,

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.200
<v Speaker 1>we've seen the rise of the robin hood trader and

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.680
<v Speaker 1>now the TikTok trader kind of thing. And UM, I

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.919
<v Speaker 1>see all these people coming into the space and they

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>want to quit their job and they want to be

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 1>a full time trader. I'm not on TikTok like you are,

0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.359
<v Speaker 1>but give us a little bit of the landscape because

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the stories that I hear, and I don't have first

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.480
<v Speaker 1>time experience with the stories I hear. It seems pretty dangerous.

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Seems like there's a lot of bad information going on

0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 1>around out there. This is the thing. TikTok is a

0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.159
<v Speaker 1>great platform. You can get a lot of information that

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 1>you may not see on social media or media outlets,

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is. So TikTok does have a lot of

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:38.680
<v Speaker 1>really great things there. However, there are some issues and

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the issues there issues that can arise is that there's

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot of misinformation. The misinformation is is like I

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 1>made this much money in crypto, I did this, or

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I did that, or I'm putting you know, twenty dollars

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:53.439
<v Speaker 1>into um coin X, Y and Z that is trading

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 1>at fifty Setoshi's and once it goes to a dollar,

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll become a trillionaire. That type of stuff is ridiculous

0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people this is the thing. The

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.400
<v Speaker 1>way our minds have evolved is that we are generally

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.919
<v Speaker 1>prone to believe anything that we see without doing research

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:10.800
<v Speaker 1>because we're not taught to do research in school. We're

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.440
<v Speaker 1>not taught to a lot of our parents. You know,

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 1>we're busy raising us as kids. They didn't really you know,

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of hone in hard like got to do your

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 1>own research or you know, not just not just that,

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 1>but even today we're seeing uh literally like the propaganda

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 1>coming out about you know, the whole pandemic thing. They're saying,

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 1>don't do your own research, like they're saying, it's dangerous

0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to your own research. And then they're virtue signaling now

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>it's virtuous to outsource your thinking to experts. Don't think,

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 1>just listen to the experts. So to your point, we

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.239
<v Speaker 1>weren't taught it and now they're even discouraging it. Well,

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you something. I worked in healthcare, which

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.760
<v Speaker 1>in HIV AIDS for seven years, managing and coordinating patient

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:46.639
<v Speaker 1>care and probably you want to know the fund And

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the most interesting things that I saw in

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 1>my healthcare profession I saw doctors and pharmacists googling information,

0:20:56.119 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>googling information. The fact that these people are experts and

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 1>they're having to google information that you can google yourself.

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.920
<v Speaker 1>That tells me a little bit about everything. And that's

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 1>all I'm gonna say about that. Well, true, true, true

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 1>story on that for a second. I mean we're going

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>off topic here, but this is a true story. My

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 1>sister is an e R doctor and she was working

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>in her hospital I'm not going to mention where um

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 1>and unfortunately is in California, and it was understaffed and

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:27.439
<v Speaker 1>they just couldn't get this hospital running right. And uh

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.920
<v Speaker 1>it was I think late at night, overnight shift, and

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 1>she had a patient come in with like a whatever

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.399
<v Speaker 1>the devices that keep your heart running. I forget um

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 1>what it's called. Remember that she couldn't get the cardiologist

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:41.879
<v Speaker 1>to come in, like it was like late at night,

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:43.639
<v Speaker 1>and he wasn't answering, he wouldn't come in whatever, Like

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:46.119
<v Speaker 1>the patient's going to die, and she literally went on

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:50.200
<v Speaker 1>YouTube and found a video of how to like rewire

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it or whatever and did it off of a YouTube

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 1>video save the person's life. But anyway, to your point,

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't It wasn't Google, but it was YouTube the

0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.399
<v Speaker 1>same thing. But yeah, but and that that's the thing

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>is like I mean, and this this kind of goes

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 1>back to bitcoin and the ethos a bitcoin about being

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 1>a freethinker, about being self sovereign, about being free and

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>you need to ask questions like like the way I

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 1>learned about bitcoin was by doing my own research and

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 1>like educating myself and it's okay to ask questions. It's

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:18.960
<v Speaker 1>okay to think for yourself. If you're doing in a

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:21.119
<v Speaker 1>respectful manner, you're like, hey, I just want to know

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.920
<v Speaker 1>more about this. That's okay. And if you're listening to this,

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:27.720
<v Speaker 1>don't let anybody discourage you. That's on being educated, that's

0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 1>on taking responsibility for your own actions, and that's on

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:32.879
<v Speaker 1>you wanting to improve your quality of life. So somebody

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:37.200
<v Speaker 1>is making you feel bad for not educating yourself, that's

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 1>on them. That's not on you, And that's probably not

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 1>somebody I would associate with. But back to the whole

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 1>TikTok thing. TikTok screat you get a lot of great information.

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 1>My videos that are informative, they do, they get less

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.879
<v Speaker 1>views than the ridiculous ones. And people the one the

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 1>videos that get the most traction are people making crazy money,

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:58.119
<v Speaker 1>flexing gains, doing all this ridiculous stuff. I saw some

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.960
<v Speaker 1>kid he was selling like He's like, I made this

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I made in ethereum by putting putting the sign up

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>with the QR code and telling people they can use

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.639
<v Speaker 1>my hose for some ethereum and I'm gonna leave this

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:13.840
<v Speaker 1>stand here. And they're gonna give pay me an ethereum

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.080
<v Speaker 1>and like it was all cap it was all fake.

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.399
<v Speaker 1>But it's like, don't believe everything you see on the internet.

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Trading is hard, Scalping is hard, swing trading is hard.

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Investing is hard. That's why we don't have a lot

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:27.199
<v Speaker 1>of people. That's why the majority of the population doesn't

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:30.160
<v Speaker 1>do it. So if you see somebody making easy money,

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:34.160
<v Speaker 1>they're probably not giving you the full picture. And also

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.440
<v Speaker 1>be weary of those people with Reugh links in their

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 1>bio or courses in their bio. Again, I have nothing

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.400
<v Speaker 1>against that, but at the same time, if this person

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 1>is saying I'm making all this money, I have all

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>this wealth and you can do it here, that's a

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit concerning to me. Yeah, I had, I've never been.

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess I'm a gambler because I'm investing

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:55.879
<v Speaker 1>and I'm building businesses, which is always risky. Um. But

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 1>being in southern California growing up there, I had you know,

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Vegas was always close by, and we'd go out to

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Vegas on a pretty regular basis for for a while there,

0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and some of my friends would have like v I

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.440
<v Speaker 1>p at at whatever casino right because they'd go and

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.119
<v Speaker 1>they'd gamble a ton of money, and they would have

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.119
<v Speaker 1>times where they came home, you know, fifty grand, a

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred grand they won, and as glamorous that is, there's

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:19.439
<v Speaker 1>even more trips where they lost thirty fifty grade. Nobody

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>talks about their losses. Mark. That's the thing is like,

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk about my losses, like I've had some pretty

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 1>big losses in crypto um, either with a portraiting plan

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:30.879
<v Speaker 1>or because I did something that was ridiculous like or

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:33.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, whatever stuff happens. But at the same time,

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 1>nobody's sharing their losses, Like people like, look at my algy.

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 1>My body is doing X, Y and z. It's like, okay,

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 1>but I want to see your losses because the body

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:42.680
<v Speaker 1>isn't No body is a percent accurate. Like if getting

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 1>rich was so easy, everybody would be rich, and not

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are rich. The other the other

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>thing about that too is that um, you know, a big,

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 1>big problem that I see is that you know, the

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:57.920
<v Speaker 1>professional investors of the world, well, let's say the TikTok

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.879
<v Speaker 1>investors of the world, most in esters, most people that

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 1>come into it, all they think about is the gains,

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the potential gains. How much money I can make. Whereas

0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:09.680
<v Speaker 1>professional investors, the Wall Street investors, they're always trying to

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:13.200
<v Speaker 1>manage the downside. It's a totally different game. They build

0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>wealth by not losing wealth as opposed to trying to

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.399
<v Speaker 1>swing for the fences all the time. And so just

0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 1>that shift alone, I think is is massive to get.

0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>That's actually really good. Um, that's a really good point

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you brought up, Mark, because I am I have this

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 1>term that I use that somebody in crypto, like a

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:31.639
<v Speaker 1>good family friend of mine, taught it to me a

0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 1>long time ago. But it's a moon bag. And whether

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:37.720
<v Speaker 1>it's bitcoin or crypto, a moon bag, or any type

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:40.399
<v Speaker 1>of investing, it's mitigating glosses. It's when you're in profit

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and you take out your initial investment and you take

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 1>out your profit, you pay yourself. You take that profit

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:48.959
<v Speaker 1>and you compound it, you roll it, roll it over

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 1>into something else, and you rinse and repeat this over

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 1>and over again. And each particular bag you have, or

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe you just doing this to accumulate more bitcoin, whatever

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it is, but each particularly each time you do that,

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 1>you're owning something free and clear essentially because you've paid yourself,

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you've taken out your disposable income, and you're able to

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 1>have free capital to continue to do this over and

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 1>over again. And when you own something fretety clear. If

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>it goes to the moon, fantastic. If it goes to zero,

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you've already paid yourself also too. You want to manage

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the downside. We are in a very amazing time for bitcoin,

0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:24.840
<v Speaker 1>for crypto as a whole. But at the same time,

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and Mark you've been through bear markets, you know, you know,

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the stuff, this stuff, a lot of

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the stuff goes to zero. Bitcoin is

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:33.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to go to zero, but a lot of

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:36.160
<v Speaker 1>all coins go to zero. Take your take some take

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:38.200
<v Speaker 1>some money off the table, put it in a stable coin,

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 1>toss it into Celsius or Blockfire, Voyager or you know,

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 1>f TX, whatever it. Maybe toss it into a place

0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:46.840
<v Speaker 1>where you can get some passive income. But if you're

0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 1>sitting there and you're not managing the downside, or not

0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>even thinking about the downside, that's a serious problem. Because

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:56.639
<v Speaker 1>let's face it, bitcoin is a beautiful thing. It's a

0:26:56.760 --> 0:27:01.000
<v Speaker 1>beautiful thing. But what happens if you know, we don't

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:03.679
<v Speaker 1>know what the future holds. What it's a very new asset,

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:05.880
<v Speaker 1>what what do How long has bitcoin been around? Twelve years?

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Ten years? Yeah? Not not not that long. It hasn't

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.040
<v Speaker 1>been around forever. And as bullish as I am, I

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.160
<v Speaker 1>can't go a hundred percent in because I got wiped

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:16.199
<v Speaker 1>out in two thousand and eight for making that mistake

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and I can't make that same mistake again. Now. UM,

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:21.159
<v Speaker 1>you are listening to the Mark mos Show. I'm here

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 1>with crypto Windy O Finder on Twitter and YouTube crypto Windio. UM.

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:28.920
<v Speaker 1>We are talking about bitcoin cryptocurrencies, the decentralized revolution. I

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about you mentioned just now stable coins, UM,

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and there's a lot of regulations happening with stable coins.

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Some of that you mentioned Black five Celsius, they're coming

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 1>under fire. I want to talk about that because there's

0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 1>some stuff that people need to be aware of. UM.

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:44.920
<v Speaker 1>So we'll be right back with that. All right, Welcome back.

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 1>You are back with Mark Moss on the Mark ma Show.

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, the decentralized Revolution. I'm trying

0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to bring you the asymmetric information, the information that most

0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:57.879
<v Speaker 1>people don't have, so you have an edge always whenever

0:27:57.920 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you're competing, whenever you're investing. You need to have an edge,

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and your edge is having this information that most people

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.320
<v Speaker 1>don't have because they're not paying attention. So make sure

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:07.879
<v Speaker 1>set your calendar. Come back each and every week at

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the same time on the same channel. I'm here with

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 1>my good friend crypto Windy. Oh find her on Twitter,

0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:14.640
<v Speaker 1>crypto Windio and on YouTube as well. She's a wealth

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.360
<v Speaker 1>of information, a really good friend, and so Wendy. Before

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 1>we took that break, we were talking about I wanted

0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to kind of transition and do something you had said.

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you talked about, you know, taking profits and

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:26.680
<v Speaker 1>putting them into stable coins um and then you talked

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:29.200
<v Speaker 1>about you putting those stable coins onto Celsius or Block

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>five to earning yield on those. Now I have I

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:36.679
<v Speaker 1>say over and over, I don't take profits on bitcoin.

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't ever plan to sell my bitcoin. My goal

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 1>is to never send my bitcoin. My goal is to

0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:42.760
<v Speaker 1>borrow against my bitcoin if I ever need that money.

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>UM but I do use stable coins in different ways,

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 1>so I believe that holding cash is important. I believe

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 1>that um cash is should be one of my allocations.

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 1>UM but I don't like my cash sitting there doing nothing,

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 1>so I like to take some of that cash, put

0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it into stable coins and earn a yield on it.

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So I I do that as well for different reasons. UM,

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 1>But lately we've been seeing that there's, uh, these these

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 1>platforms that are paying these yields out are coming under

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fire, specifically Celsius and block Fire. I'd

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 1>like to get your take on that. Um. It almost

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 1>seems like to me, Um, the government hates competition, and

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 1>so it's like the banks are paying like zero point

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 1>zero one percent interest, they're paying seven or eight They

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 1>don't want that. What are you seeing on these regulations

0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and what do you think about that? Um? These regulations

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:32.120
<v Speaker 1>are happening, they're cracking down on these exchanges because it

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 1>is competition against the bank. Why would you Okay, let's

0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:37.560
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about this. Let's let's first talk about the banks.

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>You go to a bank, the banksters. Let's talk about

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the banksters, the fancy suits. You go to a bank,

0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 1>they make you sit there for hours to open an account. Okay, fine, great,

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you deposit your money into the bank. The bank then

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>charges you a monthly service fee. And some people, you know,

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 1>you're able to mitigate that if you make a certain

0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 1>amount or if you keep a certain certain balance. Let's

0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 1>face it, there's a lot of Americans that don't even

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 1>have five in a savings account for emergency fund. And

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's that's another topic for another day. But

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, and that is essentially targeting people

0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 1>that are poor. And I grew up poor, so I'm

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:13.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm talk about being imported. I'm gonna use that

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 1>term port grow very, very poor. So what they're doing

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 1>is is they're targeting those people and they're charging them.

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 1>The bank is charging you to loan your money out.

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 1>They're taking your money, they're loaning it out, they're making

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 1>income on it, and they're charging you to do that.

0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>What like, how is that not predatory? How is that

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:32.080
<v Speaker 1>not wrong? That makes me absolutely angry to hear that,

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 1>And of course they're going to get mad, and of

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.600
<v Speaker 1>course they're going to come after like the platforms like

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 1>um like block fight and selsius because you don't have

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 1>to pay money to hold your crypto there. You don't

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 1>have to pay money. You could just transfer your cryptoe

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and obviously there's a fee whatever, fine, but you get

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and then you get up to the eight percent cash

0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:53.080
<v Speaker 1>back or stable coin back whatever it is. They don't

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>want that competition because once the work gets out, everybody's

0:30:56.000 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 1>going to go there. That's what they're doing. And it's sad. Yeah. Um, yeah,

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>it is said to to kind of even compound on that,

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean to to make this even bigger. I mean,

0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>this is a global thing. And so we talked a

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>lot about things in the US. Obviously you're listening on

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the radio right now, listen to the Markmas show on

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the radio. Um, and so you know it's obviously US centric,

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:18.320
<v Speaker 1>but um, in El Salvador they've made bitcoin legal tender.

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:20.760
<v Speaker 1>And I was down there. I've been working with Bitcoin

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:24.080
<v Speaker 1>beach down there, and um, some things I didn't fully understand,

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and I travel a lot, so I kind of have

0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the perspective. But to your point, um, the poor adversely affected.

0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:31.040
<v Speaker 1>You have a bank account, you have to pay, you know,

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:34.320
<v Speaker 1>monthly to have your bank account. Well, most times those

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>fees are waves because you carry balances whatever. Um. Down

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>there in El Salvador they don't carry either. They don't

0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>they don't carry those balances, they don't wave those fees,

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and so typically they're paying anywhere from twenty five to

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:47.240
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars a month to have a checking account and

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 1>most people they make a hundred bucks twohunter bucks a month,

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:52.720
<v Speaker 1>they can't they can't pay that, so they don't have

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:56.240
<v Speaker 1>bank accounts. And then so they can't even join the

0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 1>financial system of the world. And then on the other

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>on the merchant side, to have you know, most of

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the merchants are selling papoosas or coconuts on the side

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 1>of the road, or they have a little bodega selling

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 1>waters whatever, um, And they have to have about fifteen

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 1>to twenty tho dollars a month of revenue to get

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 1>a POS system, to get a merchant account, which they

0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:17.440
<v Speaker 1>don't have. So the merchants can't accept digital payments, they

0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 1>can't be in the funding system, and the customers can't either.

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 1>They're completely boxed out. Um. So just to kind of

0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:26.680
<v Speaker 1>show how big that problem that you have there. But anyway,

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 1>so going back to the competition, what are you seeing

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the government's doing here? Like, what's the threat you think

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the threat is? Is they? I mean, we're crypto is

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 1>a threat. Cryptome Bitcoiner is a direct threat to the

0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:40.760
<v Speaker 1>government's And it's not even it's just we pay so

0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>much in taxes and I'm not saying I'm at I

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 1>don't like paying taxes, but at the same time, like

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:47.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't even know where tax dollars are going, Like

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>they say your tax dollars are going to go fund ABC. Really,

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:53.040
<v Speaker 1>then why are my tax dollars going to go fund

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to school that you're saying it's going to. But the

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 1>old neighborhood that I lived in, the schools are like

0:32:57.560 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a three out of ten and the people that live

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 1>there don't even send their kids to that school because

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:03.400
<v Speaker 1>it's so terrible. So explain to me how my tax

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 1>dollars are going to help fix this. So there's that aspect.

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 1>But they want the governments want control, the banks want control,

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 1>they want our money. They're utilizing us for, you know,

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:15.320
<v Speaker 1>to fill their pockets, and that's why they're coming after Bitcoin.

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Stable Coins are not poker chips, Gary Gensler. They are not.

0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:22.280
<v Speaker 1>They're they're a lot safer and well, actually there's nothing

0:33:22.320 --> 0:33:26.040
<v Speaker 1>wrong with poker chips either. But realistically stable coins they

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 1>fluctuate between ninety eight cents and one dollar and two cents,

0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and USDC is heavily regulated. They go through all these

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:34.880
<v Speaker 1>different types of checks. Also are back like six by

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:38.000
<v Speaker 1>six of cash, which is amazing because most people can't

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>even name what the United States dollars back by. Who

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.000
<v Speaker 1>knows what is backed by. But the fact that but

0:33:43.160 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the like literally but the fact that they're coming after

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 1>stable coins, stable coins that are really not a threat,

0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that just tells you how much they care about protecting

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the people. Because if they cared about protecting the people,

0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:59.959
<v Speaker 1>they'd be focusing their efforts on bad actors. People are

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 1>are scamming people on the internet, hack even student loans

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 1>because student loans are predatory. There would be a lottery tickets,

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>There's all these types of things that are out there

0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 1>that are very actually predatory, and stable coins are not

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that that that last piece that you said there is

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:17.320
<v Speaker 1>like the big thing, right Like I could literally go

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.400
<v Speaker 1>by as many lotter tickets as I want, and the

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:23.920
<v Speaker 1>chance of me winning anything is like pretty much zero. Um,

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:25.759
<v Speaker 1>no regulations with that. I can go to Vegas, but

0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:27.239
<v Speaker 1>as much as I want there, So we can do

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 1>we can do all these things and blow as much money.

0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 1>We know the odds are stacked against us in Vegas.

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:34.080
<v Speaker 1>They don't disclose that to us clearly. But yet that's okay.

0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:37.839
<v Speaker 1>But yet we don't have the ability to put our

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 1>money into these other things. And and I just think

0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I read a couple weeks ago he came out with

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 1>this big statement, and you know their whole approach, and

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:50.359
<v Speaker 1>really it's all of governments approach, really like um, you're

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.320
<v Speaker 1>not smart enough and we need to make the decisions

0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>for you. Like he's taking this role like he has

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 1>to protect us. It's like I don't need you to

0:34:57.200 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 1>protect You don't protect me, Like we can do it.

0:35:00.320 --> 0:35:02.839
<v Speaker 1>So it's like this is the thing, like they say

0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:05.879
<v Speaker 1>that they're protecting us. I don't feel protected though I don't.

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're telling me what I can't do.

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're telling me that I cannot improve

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 1>my quality of life because you don't like my lifestyle choices.

0:35:14.360 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's not even a dangerous lifestyle choice. What what

0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:21.280
<v Speaker 1>is so bad about somebody who's living under the poverty

0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:24.879
<v Speaker 1>line that is able to put in a stable coin.

0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's just say the interest rate is nine ten percent

0:35:28.040 --> 0:35:29.920
<v Speaker 1>back for maths say to make it easy, and you're

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 1>earning ten dollars per week extra that you would had.

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:36.320
<v Speaker 1>That is ten dollars, that is ten items at the center.

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:37.799
<v Speaker 1>I used to have to shop at the ninety nine

0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:40.239
<v Speaker 1>center because it was so poor. And that's not a

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:43.280
<v Speaker 1>bad thing at all. But I'm saying ten extra items

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 1>from the dollar store per week that could be that

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:48.120
<v Speaker 1>can be a meal for a family. And that's all

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:49.960
<v Speaker 1>that I'm saying. And I don't feel that that is

0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:52.839
<v Speaker 1>unsafe in any way, shape or form. I feel what's

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 1>unsafe is is that leaving my money in a bank,

0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:58.560
<v Speaker 1>knowing that it's being lent out and all the and

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 1>then the US government pretty money like it's nobody's business,

0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and me not knowing if the inflate inflation is going

0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:05.720
<v Speaker 1>to kick in and I can and my one dollar

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:09.520
<v Speaker 1>that I have is now worth cents. That's what scares me.

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:11.279
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I want to be protected against. The

0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 1>US government printing money. Yeah, that's exactly right. And and

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:18.360
<v Speaker 1>so you know, we we they're creating a competition and

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:20.720
<v Speaker 1>which gives us. I believe competition gives us better product,

0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:23.279
<v Speaker 1>better service, better prices. But they don't want that. They

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 1>want us trapped in the system. But that's exactly what

0:36:26.239 --> 0:36:29.239
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are doing. They're giving us that life raft,

0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:31.680
<v Speaker 1>that outlet, which of course they want to seal off.

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:33.960
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to do that with you know, minimum taxes,

0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 1>globalmanium taxes where people don't move to other countries. They're

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:39.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to do that by sealing off all the excess

0:36:39.400 --> 0:36:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and keeping us in there. And I think the more,

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope, the more that people see the government saying basically,

0:36:46.560 --> 0:36:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you don't have the right to hold your money in

0:36:49.960 --> 0:36:53.320
<v Speaker 1>a way that we can't steal from you, like hopefully,

0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 1>the more people see them saying that literally, the more

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>they'll want these things. Now, um, this is we're going

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 1>to wrap this show up. We've been going for almost

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 1>three hours here with my good friend Wendy Crypto Windy

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh follow her on Twitter, look her up on YouTube

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:09.000
<v Speaker 1>as well. I'm also one Mark Moss on Twitter. So

0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:11.800
<v Speaker 1>send us a message, asks a question. We'd love to

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 1>get back to you on that. Reach out to me,

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:16.120
<v Speaker 1>reach out to me guys. I will generally respond and

0:37:16.160 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 1>if you send me an email, I will probably respond faster. Yeah. Yeah,

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 1>all right, Well that's it, Thanks so much. I'll see

0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:22.640
