[Part 1 of 4] [David] [00:00] it was two and a half billion dollars. I couldn't have done any of it without AI. If if we had not had AI, we would be $8 billion less. We 5 IPOs, none of them would have happened because I used the AI to design the securities and solve all the tax problems and all the securities law issues. You know, so I like I'm a big believer in using AI to design new things. And I look, I'm just I I focus upon digital credit and security, but there's someone there thinking about how to make the car drive and cure cancer and like like aren't there like 100 million problems the human race has to solve that we that you're like, well, you're going to need a thousand people with PhD to solve that. Well, guess what? Now every 16-year-old has a thousand PhDs at their fingertips and so I'm very bullish. The world's going to be a much better place and and we're going to see an age of empowerment and and abundance because of digital technology. [David] [01:03] And we could see a resumption of the primary trends in gold and Bitcoin, meaning gold resuming the uptrend and Bitcoin resuming the downtrend. And I think it's also interesting that the main driver of the Bitcoin enthusiasm now and the buying is coming from strategy selling 11 and a half percent uh, you know, preferred in basically the employment of a Ponzi scheme, but creating a lot of demand by people who either don't know it's a Ponzi or don't care. They want 11 and a half percent yield, and so by offering people 11 and a half percent yield, Sailor has raised billions of dollars, which he has then used to buy Bitcoin. But had he not bribed people with 11 and a half percent yield, he would not have had the money to buy all that Bitcoin. So that's interesting that the demand for Bitcoin is not because people want Bitcoin. It's because people want 11 and a half percent yield. Now, they're they're not going to get it in the long run because the whole thing is going to collapse. But that's what's driving Bitcoin, not demand for the Bitcoin itself. People aren't buying strategy or or stretch because they want Bitcoin. If they wanted Bitcoin, they'd just buy it. They're buying stretch because they'd rather have 11 and a half percent return than Bitcoin. [David] [02:26] Plus there's a lot of unique technology in Midnight that's going to make the use of Cardano safer. Like Midnight passport will be the fastest, safest, easiest for these Cardano. So we gain all these utility enhancements and so forth. Plus I'd argue Midnight is an essential component of the business that Bitcoin needs. When you look at that side of it, you're like, okay, Bitcoin users, they want privacy. So Cardano could do a lot of the heavy lifting on the programming side, but where does the private coordination layer just solve all that? So we're actually working on this programming part that Bitcoin D5 setup, what we call it the the circle. So you start with Bitcoin and Cardano. I'm going to put 50 Bitcoin of my own money into this to prove it works. So you start with Cardano and Bitcoin. You lend it to Babel coin. So that all curls Cardano, sure it's special transactions through the protocol bridge. And then that Babel coin would then be deployed into a yield bearing instrument. And then as you make yield, the yield is converted to Bitcoin and then it's sent to your Cardano address. And then Midnight coordinates all of it makes it private. So you you have like all three networks working together, and you have this circle and then from the Bitcoin user's perspective, just give them a button, make money, quick button. And then it locks their Bitcoin, and you start generating a yield. The security actually is anchored with Cardano on the Bitcoin network. So it meets my three rules that I have for Bitcoin D5. One, there's only Bitcoin. So there's no other stuff. [David] [03:46] Bitcoin, Litecoin is better money than than Fiat, obviously, also better money than gold. Like I think it's I believe it's the best form of money that um humans have ever come across. Right? Money being good means that it's um it's inflation proof, right? No one, no single person, company or a government can print more money. Right? Can print money and inflate away the money you're holding, uh you're storing. Right? That's kind of one of the key things about money is if you work hard, you make money, you don't want that money to kind of disappear over time, not for your own good. Right? So that's that's key and Bitcoin and Litecoin and most cryptocurrencies um is able to to do that. [David] [04:32] I could have the argument that real estate's better than Bitcoin. For a number of reasons, by the way, depending on who you are. Um, your audience will probably disagree because they're probably a bunch of, you know, Bitcoin maximalist. They don't have as much Bitcoin as the real estate guy, by the way. No, I I'll tell you right now, hold on one second. See, that's the funny thing, dude. That me and my brother were talking about this yesterday. You know, the guys that know the most seem to have the least. [David] [05:02] 100%. That that I can probably agree with you on. I think it should be a bigger issue within the crypto system and the ecosystem. What do you think? [David] [05:11] I think it will be. I think privacy is going to be the the new if you want in my view, and this is what I'm tasking the investment professionals at Mailstrom to sort of figure out. I think that the standout shitcoin or, you know, few shitcoins of 2026 and 2028 will be related to some way perform to privacy. We already saw the, you know, amazing move of Zcash over the last few months. Yes, it's down 4% from the 780 high, but I think again, my rule is, you know, my mental model is 10 to 20% of the value of Bitcoin that for Zcash. Um, times up. So much higher than where it is today. But, you know, taking away Zcash, what is the token project protocol that's going to utilize some privacy technology, I'll be something related to ZK or knowledge proofs to do something whether that's quantum resistant, you know, the AI overlord can't anonymize our data or, you know, see what we're doing, whatever it is, right? These are things that we're legitimately afraid of of what bad things that could happen with the collaboration of Big Tech, Big Government. [David] [06:20] Trump getting elected and knowing that we share friends in the White House for all the populist parties of Europe who are under attack. Every single populist leader, if you look at the leaders, and my last documentary was called Silent, I got 18 months in prison for my last documentary. The reason I aired it is because the documentary was so bigger than me. It's exactly what they're doing. Lawfare has been waged against if you go through, I'll pick any of them. Pick Herbert Builders, the leader of the Dutch party. Pick Marine Le Pen. Any politician in Europe, yeah? Anyone, pick anyone who has stood up and tried to speak against immigration, and you will see a history. Matteo Salvini has been two days ago, the deputy Prime Minister of of Italy was prosecuted in 2020. They said he collapsed because he stopped the boat. He was prosecuted in 2021. He's in charge of other crimes. The process is the punishment. Every political leader who's tried to step up was charged. You saw what they done to Bannon. You saw what they done to Alex Jones. You saw what they're trying to do to Trump. That's happening across the board. They're preparing of their the totalitarian state. I think it's probably then to elect on on very optimistic about that future. More it's not because they're not in turf. They're not in turf. The public are ready. The public are awake. [David] [07:38] the other thing about it here is that a lot of political power is still in play. You know, it's going to have a new impact in the 2024 election and certain races that were just absolutely going to be lost are still in place. I just saw money coming in next. I think things like the Cardiac Act will just be a lot of that conversation to try to get it into a better shape and hopefully September will be the one that will actually be able to give us one hell of a fight. You just forget. [David] [08:05] What first got you excited about blockchains? Think about it. Oh wait. I bet it wasn't multi-million dollar hacks, exposed data, or finding somewhere safe to store your seed phrase. Was it? Maybe it was the idea of decentralizing a broken financial system. Maybe it was imagining a world where people own their own data and get to sharing the value it creates. Or maybe it was the promise of a fundamentally better way of connecting, communicating, and transacting. The next phase of the internet that empowers us instead of exploiting us. So, why hasn't it happened yet? We're we're still living with the same broken system that blockchains promised to fix. It's because blockchains can't keep a secret. Enabling open transparent systems was only the first half of the challenge. For blockchains to really change the world, they also have to be able to protect our sensitive data when it matters. And that's why we built Midnight to bring down the final barrier to mass adoption and unlock the full potential of the decentralized web. Let's build the internet we deserve. Together.

I've had a chance and a lot of time on my hands to observe the markets. So we'll go ahead and dive into the markets today. Today we will. Yes, indeed, we will. The breakdown, episode 781. I am I am definitely back. By the way, [David] [15:19] I I really have to say this, man. I I really got to say it. I got a lot of I got a lot of thoughts and a lot of things to talk about today. Holy fuck. I'm going to dive into also like, holy shit, you guys really the haters are out in full force reporting my YouTube. That was crazy. Got a got an email from YouTube today. Shout out to the haters, bro. Y'all never stop working. I I got to give it to y'all. Y'all never stop working, man. Y'all never stop. And that that that's good, man. At least at least you got something to do, man. Uh, we will also I will be doing this show the pop-up show. I don't know what I'm going to name it. But maybe something with market and I'm going to look at the markets and I'll break down the markets and what I'm seeing on YouTube, YouTube only and that'll be two to three times a week. Uh, a lot of great great viewership. I got to say thank you so much on YouTube. It is so much better in terms of viewership than it is I I I'm I'm actually frankly surprised but not surprised. And uh I've been working on Facebook and Instagram. I've I've said this for like months now. But I am close to getting it all aligned here on Restream. So that'll be really cool. Um, so we can go ahead and chop it up on Facebook and Instagram with everybody's uncles and aunts. You know what I'm saying? Everybody's uncles and aunts want to be a part of this show. You know, I I don't really want to toot my own horn. I really don't. But I've watched some of these shows as I've been uh sidelined, I should say. Let me put it that way. I I've watched it from the sidelines. I've been watching some of these shows and I I got to give people a lot of credit. Here's here's where I'll give people credit. I respect anybody that has the balls to come on or I should say get up every day and and look into a camera and speak into a microphone. It's a very tough job. Uh, it's not easy. It's not something that everybody can go ahead and do. I'm not tired at all. I'm actually cool. I'm actually cool. I'm not tired at all. I I am actually not screaming. I'm not going to scream. Okay, I'm not going to elevate my voice. It's just this is this is a smooth version of DG and and DG's not I third person, but I'm not tired. I'm actually refreshed. If anything, the right terminology would be refreshed. Cool Common Collective looking at everything in the markets. I could still be the dominant electrifying force without being loud. Okay? Y'all hear me good enough. I I I I am loud enough. Love you guys. Not tired, I promise. Though I was though I went through hell. And maybe I'll talk about that later. I did go through a fucking hell. But even the devil didn't want anything to do with me. Even the devil said, yo, nah, we're good, bro. Go ahead and do your thing, man. Um, all right, so being that I I was touching on something before I read the comments. I I observed, you know, obviously the shows are on there, the ones that I can see on on X and I'm like, again, I respect anybody who comes on and and does does try to provide value. It's a very difficult job and it it's tough. But holy shit, you guys suck. Like I I I'm I'm laid out. I'm laid out. I'm looking at the markets. I'm barely looking at the markets, cross-eyed and shit. But I'm looking at the markets and like I'm trying, okay, let let me let me see who else. Like if if I'm not on here, you know, if I'm not breaking shit down, if I don't have a guest on here that I'm speaking with, who else is out there? Who can I listen to? And God damn, bro, like what the fuck is this garbage? Like I'm going to say it for what it is. It is what it is, bro. It is absolutely garbage. Like it does anybody like I'm not just saying this to toot my own horn, but does anybody feel the same way? Like I I I swear on everything, I gave it like like an as an unbiased person. I I tried to go ahead and watch all this stuff. Like I I really wanted to watch the shows, see if I can get enlightened by any of the stuff that's being talked about in crypto. Bro, what am I watching? Again, I don't want to take it away from the fact that you know, you do come onto this microphone and it's a very tough job. Don't get that twisted. I respect people, again, who come onto a microphone and and and try to deliver value, but holy shit, where's the energy? And what are we talk like I I don't even understand what the fuck is being said. It's not age either. Like it it really isn't. It really isn't age. It it's it's it's like what what is this? That's what I was saying to myself. I was like, what is this shit, man? Like what what is this like there is no there's no information being given out. Like I I would if I walked into the crypto space and it's my first time, it's my first time being here, I'd be absolutely fucking confused. I I would I would have absolutely no clue what is being told to me. Legit. Motherfuckers are talking about going out to dinner in in in arriving in Maybachs. And if those are shots fired, it is what it is. I'm not trying to, I'm just saying, what what are we doing? What are we talking about? That's not it. That's how people, that's how regular folks get destroyed. They see this fancy lifestyle in crypto. They see all the flashy cars. And I'm not saying you can't post up and create content and show off that you got a dope ass fucking car. You just bought it off of your wins. Like I'm not saying you can't do that. Do whatever you want. It's your life. You should do whatever you want. But when a person's initial initial view on crypto is, oh shit, this is easy. I can just like do what this kid is doing and I can get a fucking whip. 500k. Cash no finance. I said it. Like what what are we doing here? This ain't crypto. And by the way, this isn't crypto. Everything that's all of this stuff that's going on. The grocery store fucking items. Like all all these fucking they're not memes. Y'all y'all made the same mistake like what you did with Libra. I saw I saw so many people sell positions only to go into Libra and get destroyed. You had a person who put $500,000 into fucking laptop. Hunter Biden's laptop. $500,000 and lost it. There've been stories, numerous stories, real stories, not fake stories, but real stories of people losing money. What is going on with you, motherfuckers? It's not even the bull market. We're not even in the bull market and you're already losing your asses. You'll have no money or no positions to participate in the in the markets. It's just wild. Y'all went I want you to and this is, you know, I'm glad that Hunter Biden is better, okay? Addiction is a is a nasty thing. I I don't I don't want to make fun of I I really do not want to make fun of addiction. But I am a funny cat and I'm from New York. So I got to say it like this. Here's a man who literally, well, he acknowledges I mean, he's smoking crack on videos. Hey, the man's smoking crack. And now he's using the laptop writing shit from ChatGBT. I don't even know who the handlers are on this one. And y'all switched up positions. Y'all took out from dope ass memes and dope utility plays that you might hold. Y'all switched from Zcash and then Monero, Midnight, yeah, the sponsor, but I the AIDs, like even Bitcoin and fucking Ethereum. And y'all try to go into fucking Y'all went into laptop. Like So I don't know who the crackhead is. I I really don't know who the fuck I I think y'all are the crackheads. I I can't even, you know what? I can't even blame I cannot blame Hunter Biden at all. You guys are the legitimate crackheads. And I say that respectfully. Or maybe not respect. I don't even know how to I think you guys are you don't learn your life. And you know what? For the first time on my timeline, I got to say, I saw a lot of people with good platforms and I'll talk about this too. A lot of people with good platforms stand up there and say, guys, are you serious? If you go into laptop, you're crackheads. Like and I was like, man, finally, like not hey, go into this, go into this, go into this celebrity token. No. But I also saw motherfuckers who were the same people pushing celebrity tokens really upset about this one. Did you not get early entry? Did you not get early I I think you didn't get I I think you didn't get that inside info. That's why you're really disappointed. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I think that I think that was an issue. I think that was an issue, ladies and gentlemen. Some people didn't get inside information, so, uh, I don't know. I don't like this laptop, but I think if you got some info, you would have been, oh, I love this laptop. Love this laptop. I I'm telling you, I don't think there's enough time here on this show today for me to dissect everything that I've watched. I'm watching people, like are you By the way, are you Let me slow down. Let me slow down. I'm watching shows and I'm and I'm thinking to myself, is is this a crypto show or is this you sexing yourself on live TV? I'm trying to figure it. Is this a live show where you're just and and some of I got to say some of the things that we're talking about. This is shit, I'm going into it. This is crazy. I'm like I'm trying. I'm trying to be respectful, but I shouldn't be. We we're having conversations about it's a crypto show, but we're having conversations about everything but crypto. So it brings me back to like, this is why a lot of people lost their ass on laptop because y'all went in because of the greed. You thought you can make a quick buck and you didn't. Yet anybody who tells you they made money on on on Hunter Biden's bullshit, they didn't. They got their asses turned. Okay? They got their asses turned. You know it. We all know it. They got their asses turned. Big time. Big time. Um, yeah. I got a lot to say. I still I'm not holding back. I I won't hold up. I won't hold back. But welcome back to the. We got Landy in the back. We'll bring Landy on for 15 minutes here to go ahead and uh chop it up here. Get the puppet on here. Puppet, what's going on? How's everything? [Guest: Landy] [28:09] Brother, it is good to see you. [David] [28:12] Yeah, I mean, like somebody had to show up because this is watching some of this shit is dog shit. [Guest: Landy] [28:17] If you want to [David] [28:18] I'm sorry. I keep it. I hey, some people will say, hey, he's he's he's pumping his own. No, I'm just I'm telling you what it I would love to come on here and say, oh man, I've watched some great fucking content. I have watched dog shit. Maybe a few people, but it's it's been absolute dog shit. [Guest: Landy] [28:35] Well, uh, you know, if you weren't going to be on today, I was contemplating on going live actually. Like, man, there's like nothing going on on a Thursday. If if DG doesn't show up today, he's still uh, you know, watching dog shit, then I'm going to have to come on here and force him to watch me instead. [David] [28:57] That would have been a ton of dog shit added on to the [Guest: Landy] [29:00] I mean, you would have been it would have forced you back on by Friday is what I figured it would have done. [David] [29:06] I'm happy I had I had some uh I'm not happy, but uh I'm happy I'm here. I won't be screaming, but and I don't scream. It's just passion that comes out of me. So I got to hold it back. I got to hold it back for a few days. Okay? That it might come out today. I don't know. I got to stop myself. I I I'm going to have to stop myself. Anyway, it's nice to I would say it's nice to see you, but uh obviously it's it's good to have you here, Puppet. Uh, by the way, I want to give a shout out to all the people that are supposed to be on the show. We rescheduled for next week. So we'll have a bunch of ton of really really good uh a really good crowd for September. Thank you so much for understanding. I I had to switch up. Um, fuck. I all I got to say is make sure you take care of your health, ladies and gentlemen. [Guest: Landy] [29:56] Yep. [David] [29:57] But even me saying that, I did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong. [Guest: Landy] [30:04] Shit happens, man. [David] [30:05] Yeah, just listen, it is what it is, man. But I'm happy to obviously I'm smiling. I'm happy to be back. Um, and uh yeah, I like I said, Landy, I've been watching the markets. I've been watching the comments on the timelines. I've been watching these shows because I've whatever appears on the top of my X feed, I'll watch it. And um I I just I I don't know, Landy, I'm not I'm not trying to be an asshole, but I I don't find nothing interesting. Like I I feel like people are showing showing people a lifestyle that I think it takes a lot of time to get there. Like yeah, one or two individuals can get lucky on a play and I understand that. Uh, but a lot of these PNLs that you see on the timeline, they're unrealized gains, number one, and number two, you don't see the losses. So a lot of people think, oh, it's an easy win. So they get into something and now they get into the wrong positions. And it just reminds me of something that used to happen in like 2021, I guess. More so than 17. I think the 17 crowd, the OG crowd kind of understood I would say understood TA and understood like what people were trying to sell them. I think in 21, I don't think there was a new crowd that came in, so I don't think they understood and this crowd absolutely doesn't understand. They see the PNLs and they think, oh shit, and and I think people are dressing up to that PNL lifestyle. Let me let me break that down for you. It's here's my PNL, here's my car, here's my watch. Look what I'm doing. Follow me with the camera. And it and and I can guarantee you the net worth does not match what you're seeing. And this is not me being an asshole. This is me just telling you the truth. The PNL is not matching the bank accounts. I can promise you that. [Guest: Landy] [31:52] Yeah. [David] [31:52] But it brings in sponsors, it brings in engagement, it brings in everything that you this is what content I hate it. I don't do it. Could do it, don't do it, but like you have people that know that these things will hit. So people follow them versus somebody who's just being authentic and real and telling you, hey, like it takes time. You got to hold through pain. You got to hold through red, you know, to see green. It's just like I think it's the instant gratification era that we live in. When you say, hey, we might have a pull back here. Well, we'll pull back one more time. There's one more pull back coming. Nobody wants to hear that. They want to hear the hype versus reality. So that's what I'm seeing. I'm seeing the PNLs. I'm seeing unrealized PNLs from a few people. Shout out to them. They grinded their way away and I don't give a fuck how they did it because a lot of people inside information, this Listen, they got to the point of being in a circle, which they're able to go ahead and realize those type of profits, even though they're unrealized. So like you can't hate on that. If you want to be in a cabal, start your own. Like start your own cabal. If not, look at what they're doing. Incorporate some of the shit into your style. Or I would say, follow the real ones that actually show you wins and losses. I respect people that show me wins and losses over people that just show me wins. And like that's how it should be. I respect the motherfucker that'll say they're 50/50 on trades. It's impossible that everybody's 100%. It really is. The best traders aren't 100%. And the last thing that I'm going to land on here, Landy, because I've been holding this for a while. So people say like, if people say like, hey, you you can't you can't fucking win in this market. I somebody told me, Dave, you can't win in this market. This market is now this market is now for the younger generation. First of all, I'm not even old. Am I am I 19? No, but I'm I'm not fucking at the nursing home. But what I wanted to say is, though the though the market could be different than 2021, 2023, 17, yeah, I I'll agree with that. It's different. But investing hasn't changed. Me going into like me investing into something and recognizing that there is a position here that I can play, that hasn't changed. That's like saying that Warren Buffett should retire. Because every single era he was in, there was change. There was paper, went to electronic, digital. Like so you're saying that Warren Buffett, so you're saying that Warren Buffett, so I'm not calling myself Warren Buffett, but what I'm saying is, traders adapt to their environments. So to say that I can't play in this one, no, don't just give me I'm taking back like every single cycle. I'm sitting back in the beginning. I'm observing. I'm testing things and I'm seeing whether or not, well, does this hit? If this doesn't hit, okay, will it hit this? I am just experimenting with my trades. And then once I fucking figure it out, especially that you have AI now and AI agents to help you. This should be easier than the previous cycles. So it is what it is, man. I think people are way too emotional also. Way too emotional. Sitting back and watching, emotional. Absolutely emotional. [Guest: Landy] [35:14] Yeah. [David] [35:15] So you can't be emotional, man. I I've been there, done that. You get a little bit emotional, you like something real, but you got to cut the cord. Man, you see something that is not going in the direction that you think it should be going into, you got to make a decision. And now it's a little bit faster. Obviously, now the decisions have to be a little bit faster. I'm talking about everything in general. Obviously, Bitcoin, you can just relax and chill out. But you get where I'm going with this. Anyway, welcome, Landy. [Guest: Landy] [35:42] Well, I appreciate you having me on as always. And look, to your point, um, I just had this conversation yesterday or the day before when the news broke about, um, over the weekend, I think the news broke, uh, about a, um, Mexican guitarist, singer, um, pretty much a star, uh, uh, Jonathan Melendez was him, he, his wife, his three-year-old child and their their nanny or or or uh, somebody, I guess a housemaid were murdered in a wrench attack, right? Um, you know, we don't know a lot about what happened, but it's another example. It's another wrench attack. We've seen plenty of these, especially in the past, you know, four or five years, we've seen tons of wrench attacks. Um, high profile people. But what often doesn't hit the headlines is it happens a lot to people who aren't as high profile as well. And the flaunting and the, um, look at what I have kind of mentality of social media and especially, you know, in the crypto space, although it's not unique to crypto, um, we see a lot of it in crypto. Um, it's really not a, it's not a good thing, right? Because you're not, even if you're anonymous, you're easy to find, right? And flaunting and talking about how much you have, makes you a target. Right? You people who are already public figures that are doxed are already targets in the first place. And then you have some that are out there that are very, very, um, boisterous in terms of flaunting what they have in terms of money and assets and like all this different stuff and it's just really, um, I don't think that it for security reasons, I think we live in a day and age where you we we've this has been true of a lot of, you know, ages, but I I think that it's even more so now, you you got to be careful. And, you know, I I this kind of turned into a conversation of like, well, you know, you do technical analysis and you trade and, you know, it there's always a I always get comments like, how come you don't show PNL and this and that? And I was like, well, I give you the trade setups well ahead of time. Um, and what it is that I'm looking at and why. Um, and and what my thesis is. I don't need to show you. I'm not I'm not a caller. I'm not here showing you PNL, um, because one, I think it's a security issue. And those and there's a lot of people who fake PNL as well. It's easy to fake a PNL card. I just about everybody that regularly watches any kind of crypto content or follows along with crypto, understands that PNL cards are one of the easiest things to fake. Um, but even when even if they're not fake, if you are faking or they're not fake and they are real, you become a target. And and as as a personality on social media or if you have a following on social media and even those who don't and are posting that kind of stuff. It's just not a good security environment, um, or a security practice to be out there flaunting what you got. That's why I I I've always kind of disagreed with it. Um, I've even gotten into some some pretty big arguments with other traders, um, about showing PNL and uh flaunting it especially. Um, because uh, you know, you often don't see any losses. Like why if you're going to show PNL, you show the totality of it.

[Part 2 of 4] [00:00] wins and losses, but also the overarching point being that you should be very careful, especially, you know, from a security perspective showing PNL. Because now you're just showing what people can get and wrench attacks have become more and more ubiquitous in this space and it's a really sad story just recently. So, [00:20] It sucks. [00:21] Yeah, that that's suck. Absolutely sucks. [00:24] Um, I didn't hear about it. I'm honestly, like I didn't hear about it. [00:29] Yeah, it's it only really started to hit uh the the news wires yesterday, but it was, you know, early reporting while, while the Mexican police, um, were kind of sorting through things. Uh, I guess more detail came out over the weekend and then even more so yesterday. You know, sad situations and this is not the first, you know, um, we are we're in an age where, um, you know, we're we're seeing all kinds of, um, you know, security vulnerabilities being exploited. Um, we're seeing uh increasing, um, amount of wrench attacks on individuals, um, organizations that are being targeted because the tools to do so are are very, very, um, easy to use and lower the barrier of entry for bad actors, right? [01:23] Yeah. And and it's just something that, you know, I I I I get it. Engagement farming, social media, um, you know, showing off what you have, uh, you know, entices people or or gives people some sort of like, like, oh, you're credible, but a lot of that it can be completely faked as well. So, you know, just be careful who you follow and if you are somebody that does that, you might want to rethink. [01:50] I'll say that, um, I was so I'm going to and we'll we'll touch on this also. Um, and I and I agree with you. Like if you're making money, just just shut up. Like I I'll explain it in this in this fashion. I'm not saying don't get cars or or buy a house or whatever. You could do whatever you want. But if you're going to flash it out there, like you're putting yourself in absolute like you are putting a target on your fucking back. [02:25] Mhm. [02:26] You want to do all that stuff? You want them cars? You want to be a part of the Lambo crew, the Ferrari crew. You want to you want to you want to get a super car? All that's you want to get dressed. Okay, do your thing, bro, but you could do it in silence. Like you can have all these things and like just do it in silence. [02:45] Yep. Also what I saw was like, so I'm going to touch on this subject and I don't give a fuck whose feelings I hurt because it shouldn't hurt. I'm trying to I'm going to try to give advice here. I get the whole I get the whole point of locking in. I respect it. I respect the whole lock in. This is the time to lock in. I'm the one who says, hey, we should lock in. But I think you should also exercise. I also think you should be healthy. I think you should go outside. I think you should get some fresh air. Okay? I just think you have you should get enough vitamins inside yourself because the kid, I don't even know his name, the kid who just bought a McLaren, [03:19] Mhm. [03:20] He looks like he looks awful. And I and I say that and I say that not to put anybody down. I say that it looks like he hasn't gone outside. [03:31] Wait, there's an outside. [03:32] God bless the No, God bless him for getting him a McLaren. This is not me good. You had a goal of trading memes. He got there and he got himself a McLaren and he said cash, no finance. Good. Hey, no problem. Much respect. Let me give a round of applause for that because I'm not a hater. But you got to go outside because I I seen him and like the dude probably weighs like 14 pounds, disheveled and all. I mean, like it's like, bro, like that is not what you want to do. That that is not what you want to do. And and you know what? I'm not the only one who said this because the first thing that happened was as soon as it was posted, everybody said the same thing and it's just like, you don't want that. You you don't like it money's cool. Money's cool, but health is more important than fucking money. And I said this also like a lot and this comes down to a lot of people here, Landy. You know, I put out a tweet saying, you have people that have never earned more than 50 grand in their in a year or even in their life and they refuse to take 10 to 20% out. To me, when you take your your initials and let's say 10 to 20% out, you're paying yourself. You did a good job. Take it out respectfully against green candles. You paid yourself and some. You have a lot of people in this space that refuse to do that. And then they round trip and they blame every single body but themselves. It's everybody else's fault but their own. And you guys, you know what? You can blame anybody you want for your failures. But at the end of the day, it's your failure. It's nobody else. And if you listen to influencers, you're already a fucking idiot. I'm telling you, I have so many things to touch on. It might sound like I'm all over the place right now, but there's so much that I've been able to observe for a week. For a week. I was like, holy shit. What has it been more? Hold on. It's almost been a week. [05:39] It's almost been a week, yeah. [05:43] Bro. Look, man, it's it's funny because um, I don't know, the timeline looked a little lost with you not uh, not live. It was kind of funny to watch. [05:57] I was watching something about Michael Jordan. Here we go. So and I know what's going to happen here. He's laughing already. [06:05] Hold on, hold on. No, no, no, no, seriously. All bullshit aside. Now you can go and you can say otherwise. Okay, you I want you, Landy, I want you to be unbiased, okay? Pretend you're not my friend. [06:18] Mhm. Mhm. [06:20] I was watching a clip of Michael Jordan and they were talking about Jordan. You had Larry Bird talking about it. Like it was a whole thing about Jordan. It was like a clip for I was doom scrolling and it was like a clip. Thing was like three, four minute clip. And you had Allen Iverson, you had like Kevin Garnett. You had a bunch of people talking about Jordan and like how like he was when they saw him on the court. Like Iverson during his Hall of Fame speech said, man, it was the first time in my life that I saw like aura on somebody on the court. It was like I was like, so and a lot of people they were calling him Black Jesus and Jesus Christ and all this stuff. And I think that is true. There are people that have aura. There are people even in this space, there are people that have aura. But like there are people that you can tune into and I'm laughing because Landy, I'm just saying. There are people that you can tune into and you're like, I see the aura, bro. Like you can whether you like him or not, there's aura. You can't you can't you cannot manufacture aura. Like that shit is God given. Like you you get on a mic and like I it is it is unexplainable, but you see the glow. [07:43] Mhm. [07:44] So, I don't know, man. I've gotten that a lot in the DMs like, yo, and this week especially. Let me say, let me give a shout out to, hold on, what where is he? Let me give a shout out to Shout out to Fifi. Also shout out to Sheb Tupo. Sheb Tupo came I'm going to talk about the DM. I don't really reply anyway. Respectfully, I just don't reply to DMs. Um, and that's just a policy that I have. I don't reply to DMs. Uh, I only have like a few people in the circle and that's it. I just make sure like nobody can ever fucking use anything against me. That that that you got to be by the way, you got to be that way. But he's like, man, like the thank yous are always nice because you always hear like I I think the I think the shit that's constantly said by the the haters is louder than the shit and I've always said this, it's louder than the than the compliments. But it was really cool to to have somebody, you know, tip their cap to you. So, anyway, speaking of aura, there is no, yeah, there's aura, right? There is like I was watching, you know, the one things the the one thing that I watch, right? Is for that aura. Because like even if a person even if a person is just starting out, there's some sort of aura that that that they have. Naturally they have that aura. Where like even if they're mid, they can turn great because they already have that God given gift. I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know. I'm just saying, man. Look at fucking Landy. How did you fucking Landy's out here creating shit on the on the spot. [09:28] Oh, I didn't even I didn't see nobody here. It was already prepped. It was already prepped, bro. [09:32] Can we keep it real? Can we keep it fucking real? People it is boring. Like I'm sorry, man. I am sorry and then people are like, I I seen a comment made. I don't know what the guy's name was. It's a guy. His name is Leo. That was his name. Leo. See, I'm calling you out, Leo. I see everything and I say nothing. I stay silent. Leo said, David has 800 or no, he has he said, David has 700k followers even though I have more. And he's talked about like Auggie and he's talked about dumb money, right? Why is it at this current position? I guess he doesn't have motion. Now, that could have hurt my pride and soul. But I just wanted to also showcase at the same sense. I bought I bought uh dumb money off of a whim. I'm I'm sitting here, I'm doing work. I'm fixing my I'm making sure that my AI agents know what the fuck they're doing. And I just went ahead and put I think it was $5200 and now it's up to $5500 into into dumb money. So that gave me 320 million tokens, Landy. And I I I take 29 well 290 million and I lock it up. [10:57] Mhm. [10:58] Because I can understand like if you're new and you don't even know me, like how it can affect like this shit went up to 1.3 million. But I'm not pushing it. You know, here here's the thing. Here's the thing, Landy. This cycle or I guess moving forward, I made sure to say, I am not going to become the meme. I am not going to embody the meme because that's what I tended to do with a lot of stuff. I did that with Doge, Shiba Inu, Pepe, Bobo, like I name them all for you. I became the See that again? [11:34] You were you were literally the ETH God. [11:35] ETH God, right? The ETH God. Everybody knew me as the Everybody still knows me as a Ethereum Maxi. Even though if you really break it down, I'm a Bitcoiner. You would have know. But I really am a Bitcoiner. At the end of and I was I'm I'm finishing up taxes and stuff. And it's so funny because I was looking back like towards the beginning. I'm like, I and I was talking to myself, the smartest person in the room. I'm like, yo, I am such a Bitcoiner, bro. Like that's exactly what I said. I'm like, literally I said, I'm such a Bitcoiner. It's not even funny. Like I am a Bitcoiner. But I was like this, you know, a few months back, I was like, I am not going to allow myself to be to be whatever I go into. I'm a market participant just like everybody else. I I bought I will talk about it when I want to, but I'm not going to be out there every day. It goes like I want to see like if you're about that life, right? You if there's like 500 holders, why am I the only one talking? Me and seven other people. Not. When 500 people decide to start talking together, fine, I'll fucking talk more about it. I shouldn't be the one yelling through the fucking at the at the top of the rooftop, at the top of the mountain, at the cliff. Yo, guys, this is dope. Like how much more money? But you know what it is? I also learned at the same time, Landy. There are a lot of people here that wait for me. Number one, if I say something, so this is the thing. If I say something, they'll get in and they'll destroy the chart. On purpose. So there's one. So that doesn't want me. I don't want to talk. Right? I don't want to talk too much because then if I start talking, they go in and they purposely destroy it. Okay? As soon as they get a hint of me being in something, they'll go in and fucking destroy it. And I've watched it. I still it's funny. So I lock away I'm locking. It's crazy. I'm locking away 290 million tokens. 29% locked away. I keep some for myself, which I deserve to go ahead and keep for myself, right? Then with Auggie, I haven't even touched Auggie. Like, okay, I I've bought, bought, bought and just held it. That's it. [14:07] Mhm. [14:09] But I'm like, yo, I'm not going to go out here and talk so you guys can go ahead and pounce and break dance on my neck and head and body in general. Like I know. And I've seen it. Even when people have heard that I'm in something, I've watched people and how they've moved, they've gone in and they've destroyed it. And then they act like, hey, I didn't do nothing. Or they'll say that they did something. It's it's both. So it's like, you know what? I'm just moving I'm moving I'm moving like this, like I'm the same way everybody else is moving. And that's it. I'm good. I'm good. Because if I want to, if I really wanted to step on the fucking gas pedal, I'd call all my boys and say, hey, I'm going into this one because I trust them more than anybody else. Hey, and they're here in the space. It's not like it'd be insider. Just like, hey, guys, I'm going into this one. Lock in. We'll we'll we'll make something out of it. I'd do that. I have people, hey, I got people talking about look look at Bobo. I went hard as hell for Bobo. Six, seven, eight months of spaces. Non-stop consecutively. But I'll talk about Bobo, but other people have to step up. There's there's a lot of holders. Why am I the only one talking about it? Can't be just me. Cannot just be me. I I respect what's happening there. I I think that it'll do well. And when the time comes and this is the biggest thing I want to say. The market will decide ultimately, regardless of who goes in, who tries to, you know, has fucking agendas. It it doesn't matter. The market would ultimately decide what happens. Okay? The market will ultimately decide. [16:03] Yep. [16:04] I also said this. I I also keep saying this and I'm not going to, you know, I feel like I'm being repetitive with this also. The the white bull movement, I've already said, like, I'm going to pick something if I ever pick something to endorse because I've endorsed nothing. I I I keep saying it every single show since I started. I've endorsed nothing. I blessed nothing. The the time that that comes, I you'll know it from my official channels. But whatever I want to pick is what I'll pick and it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. There's nothing you can do to go ahead and tell me what I'm going to pick and choose. Because, you know what? It's my brand. But and I'm trying to, you know what it is? I'm so desperately trying to Here's here's my biggest problem, Landy. I'm trying to tell people or I'm trying to gather people together in terms of like really trying to I've tried my hardest, by the way. I got to say, I really have tried. I'm trying to gather people together for the right reasons to bring back the fucking spirit of crypto. And then I just see it. It's just like people will stay within it for four or five days and then they're done. They're out. Because they see other things and you know what? God bless, man. God bless. People see other things happening and they and they're chasing money. Like they chase the laptop. Like and you know what? The biggest thing with the laptop to me was, don't tell Hunter Biden that he can't come out with a token. There's a free market. Motherfuckers can do what the fuck they want to do. That's what I said. Am I going in? No. I will not participate in the fuckery. But at the end of the day, if Hunter Biden wants to create a token, he can create one. You're the idiot if you go in. [17:47] That's that's how and by the way, I want to make an example. The things that I've talked about in the past and even in the present. I'm going to give you Shiba Inu for an example. When talking about Shiba Inu, I'll talk about Doge, Shiba Inu, I'll talk about Pepe, I'll talk about a lot of things. These thing Shiba Inu for an example, went to fucking zero. Everybody left. I'll still buying and then boom. Binance and Coinbase. Popped out of nowhere and boom, it's sent. So when people say, oh, the motion, motherfucker, you're not going to get me with that. Seven years ago, you might have sparked some ego. I I will not lie. Seven, eight years ago, my ego would have been I I would have been like, nah, let me show you. And there have been times now that I've been like, nah, nah, nah, nah. But nope. I am I am more mature now. And I know I know I know what I'm looking at. Do you understand what I'm Okay, Landy, you'll get this. When I burst it onto the scene, I was a rookie. I'm raw talent going to the net, shooting, scoring, whatever. It doesn't matter. I'm not It's just I'm playing off of natural talent. But once you get that experience, it's a different story. You can get to you see everything. You know how to attack better, man. You don't have to waste so much energy in doing, you know, in you just don't have to waste as much energy as you did before. And that's kind of like my mindset now. Is that I like I watch, observe and then I finalize my decisions. That's it. But again, with the Hunter Biden thing, I had no problem with him coming out with this. Because like if you're a normal person, if you're if this crypto industry is going to survive, then it needs the lessons to be taught, right? So to me it was like, if you were here when Libra happened and all Milania, all this shit, even Davis and the crew. And if you don't think the crew is here, they're here times 10. They are here times 10 and they're all acting as if they're not. It's the same people with a larger crew with some VCs in the motherfucker too. So, I've watched and I got to see it in 4K for a week. You know, like when you're doing your own thing, you don't really get like you pay attention, but you don't get the you don't get to really zoom in on everything. They are here. But so like, to my point, Biden coming out with a laptop thing was an IQ test. It really was an IQ test. Did you learn your lesson from the previous cycle? And the answer was no. Did everybody go in? No. Some people learned their lessons, but most people still went and said, you know what? We're going to take a chance. We're going to take a chance on this. [20:50] So, it's kind of funny because um, you know, I stick more to a little, you know, I don't really talk too much about memes. I obviously do get into memes. Um, I have throughout the bear market, you know, filled my bag, uh, with various memes. Um, I consider it money spent myself. Um, it's a fairly small portion of my portfolio, but, you know, there's been plays that I've talked about pretty consistently for a while, whether it be Hyperliquid or Venice AI, which is VVV. And it's funny because yesterday I was talking about this with uh, some of the uh, ATC crew because I was looking all of last year, I was looking for VVV to hit $2 and under. And I said I would be a massive buyer there. And I remember when it hit under $2, um, and under that, um, 100 million market cap even, down to almost a dollar. There was people declaring it dead, um, even got into some arguments in various group chats about, uh, you know, I because I was like, this is where you should be buying it like now. And they're like, no, it's dead. The AI meta, the decentralized AI meta, all of this stuff. It's dead, it's dead, it's dead. Um, and now it's all anybody's talking about, right? Because it just, you know, raised past, um, you know, the uh, the fully diluted value of uh, $2 billion. Um, the the actual market cap is uh, for circulating is around 1.1 billion. So, you know, a little bit of a 10x there off of Venice, right? Just talking about for a long time between uh, after, um, hype, Hyperliquid, um, launched, obviously there was a lot of people that talked about it, then it went up, hit like 50 bucks, uh, and then retraced all the way to 20. I was like, I'm a buyer at 20 to 25, right? And there's a lot of people and a lot of fud that was going around, um, surrounding what what they were doing and a lot of doubters. And the thing is, is when when there's a my point behind this is when there's a bunch of people doubting and saying, oh, no, I'm not going to buy here. You're going to find them always in the bearish trends and when things are are down, when the market's down, and is when you should be hunting value, right? And you can go cross sector, whether it be meme coins or L1s, L2s, uh, you know, various protocols and projects, whatever they might be, you you should be hunting value. And there is an inherent amount of risk, a large amount of risk when doing so, but as long as you're going in with a plan and you've incorporated that risk into your plan, you should do well. Like there's no real reason to not do well buying in a bear market, even if it's a sector by sector, if it's especially fun to watch, you know, things that hold up well, but maybe, uh, to the downside, maybe don't get their run to the upside with everything else and to kind of check out and see what's going on. Um, I personally like when people get shaken out, uh, especially in the meme, uh, token space. Um, I like when you see a big run up and then a huge shake out to the downside and then everybody declares it dead. I like that. I like to see because there's when the bull market comes, all that liquidity, it does it it does favor a lot of newer stuff that launches these days, but that liquidity, um, that comes rolling in, that liquidity does buoy the entire market and market cap and it gets more eyes on things. So, I play market by market sector, right? Like I I played the AI sector in crypto, obviously. Um, play the meme coin sector and I do play it sector by sector. And I that's my process for evaluating things. And I think that um, you know, you could take if you could take the slings and arrows, uh, from those on social media, um, which you should be able to. It's literally it's social media. Um, most of what people are talking about does not matter, especially if it's detracting from something that you have a plan for. Um, and is personal to your portfolio, then you really shouldn't care what somebody else says. Um, as long as you've done your due diligence and you've planned correctly and watched watching watch watch when the market turns and it becomes the narrative again, right? Um, there's a lot of things that are that are really exciting that are happening in the market too and a lot of people are fading that excitement. Um, because in most cases, they weren't buying the lows and now that it's up, they they have no choice but to fud. Uh, and and you know what? They're going to miss the opportunity when things head back down. That's how it always is. They missed the opportunity when things head back down. Uh, then they get bearish and they go, I told you so. Um, and then while they're busy telling everybody that they told them so, the they're not actually saying, I'm buying here because it's in this downtrend and I and I pointed out that it was going to go in back into a downtrend to retrace or crash or whatever might happen. Hey, I'm a buyer here. They're not saying that. Instead, they're dancing, right? And they're too busy dancing while everyone else that's smart is buying and then experiencing the the fun of the upside again. Um, and people get trapped in this doom loop all the time. I see it on the timeline a lot and I do think it's pretty funny. Um, you know, and obviously, I have my take on where markets are going overall, but in general, you buy value. You buy discount and you go you go sale shopping when it happens, right? And always have a plan for it to get, uh, you know, an even to to go on sale even more, but, um, that's the only way you can enjoy the ride to the upside. Especially if you're just an investor and you're not a trader. [27:08] You're muted, David. [27:10] Oh, why am I muted? In the next uh 20 to 30 minutes, I'm going to be looking at the runners and why they ran and dissect dissecting that shit on uh FOMO. So shout out to FOMO. Obviously partnership there. There's a report that came out that um only about 0.5% of the people on FOMO are winning and the rest aren't. Um, a lot of reports came out that way. And and I want to say that if that's true, if that is the real percentage, I I would believe it from this sense that if you want to become a good trader, you you got to sit back for a few months at least and and learn and understand why certain people are trading a certain way. Now, a lot of people will say also, well, David, we don't have a chance because people there's insiders and all this. Listen, there's always going to be people and this is this goes for the traditional markets. There's always going to be people that know, I don't want to say inside information. I I just want to say that they're in a certain position to where they understand what's about to happen. Is that a is that a better way of stating that? [28:40] Mhm. [28:42] And you're not in that position yet. So you need to learn and observe in order to get into that position. So there's a lot of people that are frustrated. Oh, man, like I'm trading, I'm losing, I'm losing, I'm trading. Well, are you reading? Like are you reading why people are going into a certain one thing, are you reading why are they even writing a thesis on why they're going into something? [29:09] I'll be straight up with you. I looked at some of those numbers. They seem a little cooked. Um, [29:17] Which ones? These these these posts uh about win loss percentage and who's actually making money and that kind of stuff. It doesn't look correct to me. [29:25] No, but those numbers are real. Hold on, hold on. A lot of those numbers are real, Landy. [29:32] I don't believe they are because I've not I've gone and looked myself and I cannot replicate the data that they are presenting. The same the same was going on. [29:40] No, no, no, hold on, hold on. Here's the okay. Here's the thing. PNL says unreal unrealized PNL says $1.1 million, right? On let's say XYZ asset. [29:57] Yep. [29:58] Most people don't understand, you're not getting $1.1 million out of this asset. [30:03] Yeah. [30:04] That's if we have these kind because we're not having these conversations. And somebody actually came out here and said, it is cool. It doesn't matter if some I'm not going to say the person's name, y'all can look it up. But they said, it's cool. It doesn't matter basically, I'm paraphrasing. It doesn't matter that a person has whether they have it or not because when you see it, it's still dope. No. It matters. The people coming in here, they're looking at PNLs at $1.1 million unrealized gains, not knowing that there's no liquidity. There's $17 in liquidity. They're not pulling out the 1.1. And that's why people are destroying themselves. [30:51] But here's here's my here's the point I want to make about this. There's another post that's been going around for the past day or so about Solana meme coin traders, profitability analysis, all this and that. And that that that only 25 people have have uh have a net profit of 10k or more. I do not buy that. I would like to see the data methodology behind this because this data seems cooked. This data seems cooked. [31:26] I I don't know. I I I I I listen, I I think that there I I think it's real. [31:33] David, I can tell you I've made way more than $25,000, $10,000 on meme coins alone on Solana. [31:42] You're not hearing what I'm saying. [31:44] Way, way more. [31:45] That that PNL is real. It's just that they're unrealized. Like and there's nothing there's not a lot of them. That's all I'm saying. [31:52] 25 people that have made 10k in the past. I've made more than that in the past week on on [31:58] Frank Degods, he pulled out 2.2 million. I mean, he floored everything. [32:04] I don't know how they took in the books on this for the numbers that they're presenting out there on social media. That's what I don't get. [32:10] Hold on, hold on. Here's the thing. Frank did realize 2.2 million. That that is true. [32:14] Yeah, no, no, no, I get that. [32:15] But I I want to say this, the 2.2 million could have been more if there was more liquidity, there wasn't. It's just because let's say let's say AMC or, you know, that meme the meme coin, which he made a lot of money on. If he was up $1.1 million on it, the liquidity pool is what, 200, 300k? Okay, and then maybe like if you whatever. At most, he's pulling out 400, 500k. But he he went ahead and floored everything. And everybody was mad. I wouldn't I I was like, I was good job. Because he's not supposed to be here just holding and saying, I have it. No, he's supposed to be taking profits. How are you angry at him? I don't know why. Yo, I've seen so many people that were angry at Frank. I was like, I don't give a fuck what you think about him. I really don't. You can have your opinions on Frank all you want. But the dude got to the point of having the ability to take $2.2 million, you take it. Ain't nobody here paying your bills. Ain't nobody He's so God bless him. Good for him. [33:24] Yeah, I Okay. [33:25] I thought it I think that's a stupid conversation. Oh, no, you must hold. If the if Frank decides and this goes for anybody. If they decide, hey, I'm selling, that's it. I'm out. I'm good. Do it. It it's not the people aren't the ones that are that are supposed to tell you when you're supposed to take profit or not. The same people that are making the argument and and and and have the pitchforks out. They've taken profit. [33:56] Well, listen, I've if somebody doesn't believe in something, they sell it. It's that simple. [34:01] I but my my my overarching point to this stuff about PNLs and and who's pulling it. I I'm looking at this Dune Analytics study of traders over the past 90 days on Solana specifically for meme coins, right? And it's the big headline is only 25 have uh wallets with net 10k uh profits. Now, the the problem is is it's not accounting for people who take profits, swap it out to stables and swap to other uh wallets. They're not they're not counting all of these things that people typically do when trading meme coins in uh on Solana, on Ethereum, on even Robin Hood or whatever, right? You get all of these these hyperbolic numbers that granted, I will tell you the truth and that is the majority of people in memes and in trading lose money. That is a fact because most people should just be buy and hold and wait for the for the bull market. But the fact of the matter is is like the data that's out there, you do need to critique it. It's not it's not as simple as, oh, only 25 people or 0.0082% um are sitting yeah, okay, so they're sitting in profit because what they're actually measuring is do they still have the meme coin in their wallet and is their position in profit? They're not talking about if you took uh your your profits off of a particular token into that wallet and it's sitting in Solana or it's sitting in USDC. They're not talking about if you took profits and swapped into something else across another chain. They're not talking This is where it's just you really it my my gripe with this stuff isn't that that there's a lot of people that lost money on various meme coin trading platforms and and all of this different stuff. My my gripe is that the data that comes out is is skewed towards the um and look at me, I'm I'm actually I'm giving some sort of a defense for some of these PNL card posters, which is not something that I really want to find myself in the position of doing. But when your data's shit, your data's shit. And this data is shit. I'm pulling Dune Analytics for Solana meme coin profitable traders. Yet, it's only measuring one aspect of entry versus where the meme coin price is now for what is held in the wallet. In a in a bear trend, people are collecting at at a discount and likely for the memes that they're buying are going to be underwater while they're buying it in a downtrend. Right? And then all of a sudden when it does pop off again, you see them flip all profitable again. And like that's if you're just looking at assets held and what is I get it. Okay, yeah, everything's down. Welcome to a fucking bear market. But the point is like to try and say that like, oh, well, it's the traders and the PNL cards. Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of nonsense PNLs uh and I just said earlier PNL cards by and large, people fake them. But to then draw the correlation and say that there's uh people there there's only 25% in 10k or more profits. I think it's nonsense. I think it's nonsense because it's not talking about who sold what, where, why, when in that 90-day period. So, when you cook the data a specific way to paint a narrative, it it bugs me. Even if that narrative is something that I'm on board with is a lot of people lose a lot of money in memes and trading and all of these other things. So, it's just I I get very frustrated with these particular conversations because I don't like the data bullshit that that is being pulled because it's a lie. You can lie it's a lie on one side and it's a lie now on the other. [38:08] All I'm saying is, like I'm just pulling up the leaderboard on FOMO. Here's Poor Goat. He's number one. So that's why I picked it. He's at a 2.6 or you want to round it out 2.7 million dollar unrealized gain. Will he be able to pull out 2.7? No. He won't. Like if he was if he was to pull it out right now, give or take, maybe he can pull out a million dollars. But that's real. Like that that's a real like that's his real PNL. [38:43] Yes. [38:44] Like that that so like all you have a lot of people that are going out with this, okay, so like Poor Goat isn't doing it. There's a lot of people that just don't do it. They don't go out there and showcase their PNLs. Some people do it for them, but it's not coming from them essentially. But here are these PNLs but nobody's explaining them. Nobody's explaining why the PNL is so high. Can the is there liquidity to go ahead and take these, you know, these kind of profits out? Like nobody's talking about this. And then you have some, you know, personalities that are saying like, it doesn't matter.

[Part 3 of 4] [00:00] because it looks good. Because then it it brings in more people. No, but that's that that okay, it brings in more people, but it brings in more uneducated people that get slaughtered. Thinking that they can come here and make this kind of money and they don't know what kind of work this dude put in or the next dude put in to get to that price point. And they don't know that they can't take out all that money. They can't realize all those gains immediately. Could you do it over time in a bull market? Yeah, yeah, 100%. [00:29] Yeah. If you if you go ahead and slam everything right now, you're not recognizing 2.6, 2.7. You get a one 1 million, 1.2 million out of this. Am I wrong? But you're the only one leaving though. If you're in a project right now and you're up $2 million and you decide to floor it, you're the only person that's cashing out. [00:52] Exactly. And it's not like it it it would be different if you're talking about something that is a a uh top 10 cap uh token that has the liquidity, right? Like like like a Bitcoin, Ethereum, um, and others, right? But when you're looking at these liquidity pools that, you know, you have something that pumps to, you know, a billion dollars, um, on, you know, uh uh uh barely any liquidity in the liquidity pool, you ain't pulling out any of that PNL that you're looking at. You're pulling out maybe a fifth of it. [01:32] And when you and in the moment you sell, you are taking the price chart with you. Um, so you're you're actually decreasing, you know, you're you're going to cause a ton of slippage. So it it it becomes one of those things if if you are up massively in some of these tokens, when you see those giant downside candles, because somebody's taking profit in a big way and the slippage is going and picking up where the liquidity actually is. And in most cases, you know, you're looking at, uh, I'm looking at tokens right now across, um, uh, one of my agents that pulls all the liquidity pools for Solana, um, and and and, you know, Ethereum base, uh, Robin Hood now and a few others. And the aggregate liquidity there is basically trash. Um, if you if you try to take profits aggressively, not only will you take the chart with you to the downside, but you're going to you're you're you're going to get maybe a fraction of what your PNL is on the And I've said this for a long time. This is the main problem in crypto in general. And this is true of everything is liquidity. Thin liquidity everywhere. [02:52] Well, that that's what I wanted to talk about Robin Hood. So Robin Hood has really thin liquidity compared to Solana. [03:00] Like, yeah, massively thin liquidity. [03:03] So everybody's like, oh my God, this shit's like at 30 million and then you look at the liquidity, it's like fucking $20. And I respectfully say that. I I I'm bullish on Robin Hood, but I'm talking about like these memes that are being paired to stocks and they're not really, you're not really pairing them to stocks by the way. A lot of things these things are not anyway. But the liquidity pool is thin. Absolutely thin compared to Solana. And we used to say that a shit about Solana. Solana looks I mean, like if you look at something on Solana that's at 20 million, well, the liquidity at least is up there. So maybe two or three people can get out. Only person that can get out is one person from Robin Hood. Unless people are making fucking, you know, unless people are making liquidity pools. I'm I'm just saying. [03:53] Yeah. That's what I I again, I I got I had a week to go ahead and sit back and observe everything. So. [03:59] So I had I had um somebody I was talking to that has uh substantial holdings of um I think it's the Pond token if we were if I remember correctly. [04:11] Pond is a good play. [04:11] Um, and they've got some cash cat and stuff like that. And I said, well, you know, you've got a substantial amount of money in these. But the moment that you know, because they were like, well, how should I start taking profits? Because I do want to take profits on these uptrends. Um, you know, and and I was like, look, the moment that you start, you know, clipping out the you're going to you you're big enough at this point that for what your PNL is showing you for the token value, um, you're going to have a serious effect on the chart. So just be prepared and you have to scale out. Right? I mean, at that point, it almost makes sense to uh to to maybe contact the project and and and maybe do some market making or something. Like it it it's like there's because liquidity is so thin and like Pond actually has decent liquidity across, um, various liquidity pools. Um, when looking at the various, um, uh, weath pools on Uniswap, um, they've got another pool with like a 1.1 million in it. Um, but, you know, most of these pools are across Uniswap and they're well, there there's actually decent liquidity there. to support, um, that valuation, but the moment you start still heavily taking profits, I mean, even today, you look, it's down on the on the 24-hour chart, it's down 18%. I mean, that's uh, that's just some profit taking up at those highs when it, you know, when it hit around 700, you know, uh, when it was trying for that 700 million and kind of topped out at 680. And people are pulling profits that have these wild PNLs, all of a sudden, you know, you're you're going to get these outsize moves and everybody goes, oh, dumping, dumping, dumping. It's like, no, honestly, it has everything to do with the liquidity pool at this point. Um, you know, look at what happened with laptop. It opened, um, shot up and came right back down to where it opened. And it's probably going to go under where it opened. But [06:22] It got destroyed. [06:23] Well, because because there was no liquidity in the liquidity pool. So it was really easy just to start clipping out the liquidity that was coming into the top side and as soon as that started to happen, um, it immediately tanked. Right? And I think that a lot of folks in this space don't really consider liquidity. They don't pay attention to it. They they they want to boast about market cap. And realistically, you should be boasting about how much liquidity is in something. [06:56] For sure. [06:57] And there's ways to to to formulate the the circulating supply around how much liquidity is there to make an artificially high number in terms of market cap. Um, that that really is unrealistic for how much liquidity is in something. I don't I you know, there's a lot of people that are hating on the Pond token. Um, a lot. A lot. [07:24] Well, the people that usually hate didn't get in, so. [07:26] Well, and like I don't I don't really my my point behind that is like I look at it, I don't I'm just purely looking at the chart. I'm looking at the liquidity pools and I'm looking at, um, you know, the holder count and kind of who who's holding what. Do I really care about the conspiracy theories or the narratives that surround who's holding and who bundled and who didn't it? I don't care at that point. Like if I have any stake in something, what I care is about my position and when I'm going to take profits and how I'm going to take profits. Um, or if I don't have a position, how would I position, um, in something that that might catch my eye. So. [08:09] Yeah, for sure. Um, [08:12] Um, [08:14] Well, shout out to you. Um, I I know that I I've seen that you've been like, you know, messing with somebody else. I I won't say who. Um, while I've been away. [08:30] I'm not. [08:32] I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I [08:35] I'm fucking around. [08:35] that I have that I have some some good friends in the space that maybe maybe, maybe, maybe uh, you got done dirty on in a picture. Um, [08:50] It's okay, Landy. [08:51] Maybe. [08:52] I thought me and you were friends, but obviously [08:54] I I look, uh, David [08:56] Friendship goes only so far as your, you know, as your show. [09:02] No, brother. I I I know that you uh, I know that you grease trap every once in a while and even show up in [09:08] No, I I I really did not. [09:09] some of the friends. Maybe not lately. No, you [09:12] You know, you notice I I couldn't. Even if I wanted to. [09:15] You know, you [09:16] Bro, I gotta tell you, man. Whatever they gave me, whatever they gave me, man. This shit took me out, bro. Out. And it's still you still like once you're done with this shit, it's just like you gotta wait a like at least a week or two for everything to like, you know, get back to fucking normal. It's fucking crazy, man. It is crazy over something so fucking simple as me going to upstate New York, almost Canada to work out and train. That shit happens, bro. [09:53] Another another reason to not live in New York, David. Just another reason. [09:59] Horrible. Out, bro. I'm out, man. [10:02] Look, I I I I got a place in Texas. If you need to go there and you need to go house shopping there in Texas, you can go stay there for a while, get used to the area and then you can go and you can pick up a nice property in Texas, get you some land, uh, get you some guns. [10:21] Yeah. [10:22] And uh, you know, cuz I don't know, can you even have guns in New York? Are you even allowed? [10:27] You can have guns in New York. [10:28] I I mean, [10:29] In New York. [10:30] It you might not be able to in the future though in New York. You never know. That's uh it's it's, you know, they call it California, but New York is is winning that race right now. [10:41] The minute that happens, I'm out. [10:45] Hey, we got a we got a bunker. You can come you can come stay at the compound for a little while while you look around. [10:53] I appreciate though you reaching out yesterday. I do appreciate that though. Um, it's not like you it was your first time, but I'm saying I appreciate that and a lot of people did too. So, I I appreciate that. I don't know. I think somebody just put the fucking hex on me and shit, so. [11:10] Yo, I just you notice I I was getting so frustrated, bro. I was really getting I I I really was frustrated. Like it it was more it's a frustrating feeling. [11:21] Yes. [11:22] It is and you know what? Like once this is done, I'm gonna do, you know, like obviously like I love talking about crypto and and we'll analyze crypto um in the next 10 minutes we'll go ahead and analyze some of the runners, why do they run and all that good stuff, but it's called Tinitus. Hold on, is it? Yeah. [11:44] Tinitus. [11:45] No, Tinitus. [11:47] Tinitus. Sorry. [11:48] Tinitus. I was going to say if you got Tinitus, bro. [11:50] Tinitus. Yeah, yeah. [11:52] No, Tinitus. That's what it's called. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. [11:57] He got he got Tinitus. [11:59] Um, [12:00] I was like, wait a minute. Holy crap. They're going through a way worse than I thought. [12:06] But I I honestly like knock on wood, like I I really feel I feel for people. Like I really feel for people. [12:21] Yeah. [12:22] It is it I gotta tell you, it is the worst I would not even I I it's not like I wish anybody bad either way, but I would never never wish anybody that. Like that it it is the worst [12:39] It I can tell you [12:41] It is the worst thing in the world, bro. It's like you you know when you when you if you tear your ACL, you know the problem and you know the fix. So it you understand the process, physical therapy, 7, 8 months. They're going to okay, you got you you understand. When you're when you have a sound that is non-stop that is non-stop. [13:18] Mhm. It's it's and it's not it's not just your ear, it's it's your it's your mind and yeah, it's both. It's ear and mind. [13:33] Yeah. [13:34] There's and you can't stop it. You can't close your ear. You can't go like that. It's not going to stop. [13:41] Yep. [13:42] And I didn't know that there's so many people that listen, that's only because I I went up and again, I went up, I don't know, the pollen hits harder, the pressure, you know, my my ears felt like I'm telling you as I was driving up there, Landy, and I told you this. I I felt my ears the pressure in my ears. Like that's the first thing I noticed as as I we kept on going up into the mountains, like I felt pressure in my ears. Going up there and back down. I'm like, man, what the fuck is this? And then you know, I come home and it's just like a few days later, boom, sound. And I'm like, what is what the fuck is happening? I'm just like this will go away, right? And then like four, five weeks later. [14:29] Yeah. [14:31] Yeah, I've I've worked, well, you know what I've done outside of this space. And I've worked with guys who went uh overseas, um, you know, uh, you know, whether it be firefights or whether it be, um, different machinery that they were working around, uh, whether it be literally next to, um, you know, fairly close to, uh, um, you know, rockets, uh, going off, um, you know, they're they're one of the one of the one of the big things is is um, obviously, I'm not, uh, um, I was never a member of the military, but worked very closely with them for a very long time and still do, but there's uh, my [15:22] I'm sure they all have it. [15:24] They, yeah, yeah, and it's something I can tell you, um, that a that a close family member of mine, um, had it so bad, um, before he went, uh, deaf in his in his ear, um, on on one side. But it was so bad that it was literally driving him crazy. Like and and it and then it contributes to PTSD and like all of the other things that are happening because at first, it is, you know, they even if they recognize it as that, there's not a lot they can do, especially if it's, um, if there is real damage. Um, there's there's some things that they can do, other things that they can't. I can tell you that it was uh a hell of a ride for this particular person and to even get a taste of that, I can't imagine. Like I I have had, uh, one or two bouts of it myself of Tinitus just from being on base. Um, and kind of going to and this is with ear protection, by the way, which is wild stuff. Uh, kind of ringing in both ears, but thankfully it went away for me. Um, and I can [16:36] I don't know. I don't know. I just I I I I didn't [16:40] It it was it was kind of wild, um, to even get a taste of it. I but it wasn't like weeks or anything like that. It was like a day or two. Um, and then of course, for a lot of those guys, it's prolonged damage over time leads to it. Uh, and there's not much that can be done. So I'm glad that they found a solution for you. Um, [17:01] I don't know. [17:02] that regard. [17:03] Honestly, you know what I started doing? So like at some point you have to say, okay, this is the situation. That's that's what I said to myself. Like this is the situation. There there has to be a fix. And I started like looking at being that everybody says there is no cure. So it's like I I started looking at others YouTube and everything. I just started like reading, analyzing and it really does come from the mind also. Like a lot of it is from the brain. Cuz the brain like obviously it it it amps up the noise more because there's something wrong with with the ear. So [17:39] Yep. [17:41] I just started like I I I I meditate anyway every day. So I started meditating more and just like I'm trying to like But again, I don't know what could be sinuses. Like I've never had a sinus infection or anything like that. Like it could have been anything. Like again, I felt that pressure. So like that's how I explained it to the doctor. I'm like, yo, I felt pressure going up, pressure going down and that and then one or two days later this non-stop fucking ringing in one ear. [18:09] Yep. [18:10] Could have been on that space that I did for 8 hours when I was wearing the studio headset headphones. Could have been that also. [18:17] Yeah, it was just various things will exacerbate the underlying issue. Um, [18:23] Could I have been one of you motherfuckers watching me praying for my downfall? [18:28] I can tell you [18:30] I I can tell you that uh [18:35] Was it Landy? Was it was it Wolf Financial praying for my downfall? [18:40] Was it Dave? [18:42] It was Dave. [18:42] Praying for my downfall? [18:43] He was saying [18:43] Dave pray for this? [18:44] I literally, I literally want that ringing in his ears to stay. Literally. Don't make it stop. [18:52] I've been through everything. I've been through everything. Like I have I've suffered I've I've suffered injuries in hockey big time. Like big time and still played through them. Like there is nothing. I've been through so much. There is nothing that brought me to my knees like this. No diddy. There's nothing where [19:17] A lot of people [19:18] I almost I almost went on one knee to say like, okay, I'm sorry. I don't even know what I'm apologizing for, but I'm sorry, whatever this is. [19:27] I can tell you of of the person that I just mentioned that is now deaf in their ear, they relished being deaf in that ear. What they and that I can tell you that person has been through a lot and that was the thing that was driving them nuts. And they were like, oh, thankfully I am now deaf in this ear. Like I finally went deaf. [19:50] You know what you know what made me sad? I was reading comments about Tinitus and I was just like I I I really like I felt it. Because when you don't know like when you don't experience certain things, like you don't know what it feels like, right? When people lose a like a dad, you don't know what that feels like, right? You can say, I'm sorry, my condolences, but you don't know what that like that does nothing. You don't know what the feeling the feeling of that is. Losing a parent, God forbid. You don't know the feeling. I hope you guys have never lost a parent. But you don't know the feeling. When when I write on all I want, you know, I've been suffering with this for 54 years or it's 20 years, 30 years. I'm reading this stuff. And people are just like, man, all I would what I would give for for a minute of silence. Oh my God, bro. This shit was hitting me. It was hitting me. Like in the feelings hitting me. [20:44] He's over here. He's actually crying reading these posts. [20:48] I was like, I wanted to shed a tear. [20:52] No, man, I've I can't I I and I've seen people poopoo it. And that's I've I I I've only ever barely I can't even call it. It wasn't even diagnosed. It was just told anecdotally by some of the guys that I was hanging out, oh, that's some Tinitus from when you were out in the in the field with us, you know, observing some of the [21:13] Listen, we catch it. I used to the feeling is, you know what, if you ever been to a club? [21:17] Yeah. [21:18] And like you sit by the speaker and then you leave and it's like grenades went off. Like it's like your like and you have the ringing, but it goes away. It's like, okay, your ears adjust and you're good. This is like it's like not [21:33] I can't even imagine, dude. Like I I can't. And like for [21:36] Bro, I was you don't you don't sleep. [21:39] There's folks in the chat that are like, no, we know. There's guys like, no, we we know. [21:43] You just don't you can't sleep. In the beginning like a bro, I I wasn't able to sleep. Like I'm waking up. I'm having vivid fucking like really like fucking 4K dreams. Like I'm not sleeping. I'm looking at my fucking watch to to to see like what am what am I fucking sleeping like how am I sleeping out here? Like horrible, bro. Horrible. Horrible. I hate talking about I hate complaining cuz I'm not a complainer, man. I really am not. I don't really This is one I'm telling you. This is the one thing that like if I was going to take a knee, this was it. [22:21] Yeah. [22:22] Like I was I was like [22:25] And I don't just, you know, you know the biggest thing with me I believe in God good in good times and bad times. So I don't just reach out to God in like bad times. Thank him in good times as well. But this is the one where I I was like, God, please. Like please. [22:42] Well, [22:43] Like please. But anyway, all good. Hopefully the road to recovery. [22:48] I I hope so, man. And I'm glad [22:51] I had my ears tested. I'm good. My hearing is perfectly fine. And that's the craziest part, right? Your hearing is perfectly fine. [23:01] Well, here's the thing that I did want to warn you about. Um, and uh, you can look this up for yourself. So after the ringing goes away, that's when the voices start. So, anyway, I wanted to tell you, I'm glad that you're back. Um, and [23:15] I hear voices in my head. [23:18] I've always heard voices in my head. [23:22] Well, that's oh, okay. Well, well, they're they're back with a vengeance. No, um, but today is uh outside of all of the market stuff, outside of some of uh, maybe our our own personal stuff going on. Um, I'm actually going to uh, to be taken off here and heading somewhere to uh, to to celebrate the life of uh, Charlie Kirk. So, um, today. [23:51] RIP Charlie Kirk. [23:56] That's right. It's one year since it's one year today, right? [23:59] One year today. Yeah, the day before 9/11. Yeah, yeah. [24:03] One year today, Charlie Kirk's life was taken by an absolute mentally ill individual, which this is what I keep saying that words do matter. When you when you go out there and you say things, it resonates with somebody who's mentally ill currently watching and listening and wants to be a hero and wants to make a statement. When no statement needs to be made. Political violence is not is I don't care what party it is. It's unacceptable. I don't care for Democrat, Republican, independent, I don't care. Like political violence is absolutely not acceptable. Charlie Kirk to me and I said this a year ago, I was obviously I was really heartbroken when when it did happen. I I think he was you talk about aura, we started the show with, you know, speaking about aura and me speaking about aura. But like Charlie Kirk had aura. I he was I was very impressed with the way he can go and debate with anybody or have a conversation with anybody, I should say. And and yeah, debate. And just in general, like he was quick on his feet, super intelligent individual, 100%. And one of the main reasons why Trump got elected. I don't care what anybody says. And he he was willing to go into places where others aren't. He was willing to go into uncomfortable, you know, college universities and sit there and debate people who have been brainwashed by absolute absolute the woke left and right, if you want to go ahead and put that. [25:34] Yep. [25:34] To to with this virus and and he was out there debating. And I don't I don't think he's ever, you know, people say that he's a racist and bigot, but he never to me, he was never that. He was somebody who just like he had his values. He believed in the nuclear family. He believed in God, obviously, religion. he he obviously had his views on on certain situations. [25:57] The same people who accused him falsely of being a racist bigot always reveal themselves to be racist bigots, which I think is uh the baked in irony to those who who perpetuate that stuff. And look, there's real racists and real bigots, but to attribute that to somebody like him, [26:22] It means that that you've seen the you've seen clips uh that are highly edited to paint a narrative that is completely false and or twisting words and saying that he said something that he didn't say. Anybody who's actually taken the time to watch, whether you agree or disagree with him, uh I think it would be fair to say for any fair-minded honest person that he was not uh a racist or a bigot and he wasn't a bad person. He was very strong in his views. And there's views that he had that I didn't necessarily share. [26:54] And that's fine. [26:54] but I valued that he would share his views and offer the microphone to anyone who was willing to talk. [27:00] Listen, I'm sure like some of the things I say you don't you you don't like that's okay. We're human beings. We have our own personal takes and that's it's totally fine to have that. And that's why very disappointed with that. I think he would have been I think he uh Charlie Kirk would have I I I fully believe he would have been the president of the United States of America at one point. [27:27] I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I [26:19] I can tell you of of the person that I just mentioned that is now deaf in their ear, they relished being deaf in that ear. What they and that I can tell you that person has been through a lot and that was the thing that was driving them nuts. And they were like, oh, thankfully I am now deaf in this ear. Like I finally went deaf. [26:22] You know what you know what made me sad? I was reading comments about Tinitus and I was just like I I I really like I felt it. Because when you don't know like when you don't experience certain things, like you don't know what it feels like, right? When people lose a like a dad, you don't know what that feels like, right? You can say, I'm sorry, my condolences, but you don't know what that like that does nothing. You don't know what the feeling the feeling of that is. Losing a parent, God forbid. You don't know the feeling. I hope you guys have never lost a parent. But you don't know the feeling. When when I write on all I want, you know, I've been suffering with this for 54 years or it's 20 years, 30 years. I'm reading this stuff. And people are just like, man, all I would what I would give for for a minute of silence. Oh my God, bro. This shit was hitting me. It was hitting me. Like in the feelings hitting me. [26:44] He's over here. He's actually crying reading these posts. [26:48] I like I wanted to shed a tear. [26:52] No, man, I've I can't I I and I've seen people poopoo it. And that's I've I I I've only ever barely I can't even call it. It wasn't even diagnosed. It was just told anecdotally by some of the guys that I was hanging out, oh, that's some Tinitus from when you were out in the in the field with us, you know, observing some of the [27:13] Listen, we catch it. I used to the feeling is, you know what, if you ever been to a club? [27:17] Yeah. [27:18] And like you sit by the speaker and then you leave and it's like grenades went off. Like it's like your like and you have the ringing, but it goes away. It's like, okay, your ears adjust and you're good. This is like it's like not [27:33] I can't even imagine, dude. Like I I can't. And like for [27:36] Bro, I was you don't you don't sleep. [27:39] There's folks in the chat that are like, no, we know. There's guys like, no, we we know. [27:43] You just don't you can't sleep. In the beginning like a bro, I I wasn't able to sleep. Like I'm waking up. I'm having vivid fucking like really like fucking 4K dreams. Like I'm not sleeping. I'm looking at my fucking watch to to to see like what am what am I fucking sleeping like how am I sleeping out here? Like horrible, bro. Horrible. Horrible. I hate talking about I hate complaining cuz I'm not a complainer, man. I really am not. I don't really This is one I'm telling you. This is the one thing that like if I was going to take a knee, this was it. [28:21] Yeah. [28:22] Like I was I was like [28:25] And I don't just, you know, you know the biggest thing with me I believe in God good in good times and bad times. So I don't just reach out to God in like bad times. Thank him in good times as well. But this is the one where I I was like, God, please. Like please. [28:42] Well, [28:43] Like please. But anyway, all good. Hopefully the road to recovery. [28:48] I I hope so, man. And I'm glad [28:51] I had my ears tested. I'm good. My hearing is perfectly fine. And that's the craziest part, right? Your hearing is perfectly fine. [29:01] Well, here's the thing that I did want to warn you about. Um, and uh, you can look this up for yourself. So after the ringing goes away, that's when the voices start. So, anyway, I wanted to tell you, I'm glad that you're back. Um, and [29:15] I hear voices in my head. [29:18] I've always heard voices in my head. [29:22] Well, that's oh, okay. Well, well, they're they're back with a vengeance. No, um, but today is uh outside of all of the market stuff, outside of some of uh, maybe our our own personal stuff going on. Um, I'm actually going to uh, to be taken off here and heading somewhere to uh, to to celebrate the life of uh, Charlie Kirk. So, um, today. [29:51] RIP Charlie Kirk. [29:56] That's right. It's one year since it's one year today, right? [29:59] One year today. Yeah, the day before 9/11. Yeah, yeah. [30:03] One year today, Charlie Kirk's life was taken by an absolute mentally ill individual, which this is what I keep saying that words do matter. When you when you go out there and you say things, it resonates with somebody who's mentally ill currently watching and listening and wants to be a hero and wants to make a statement. When no statement needs to be made. Political violence is not is I don't care what party it is. It's unacceptable. I don't care for Democrat, Republican, independent, I don't care. Like political violence is absolutely not acceptable. Charlie Kirk to me and I said this a year ago, I was obviously I was really heartbroken when when it did happen. I I think he was you talk about aura, we started the show with, you know, speaking about aura and me speaking about aura. But like Charlie Kirk had aura. I he was I was very impressed with the way he can go and debate with anybody or have a conversation with anybody, I should say. And and yeah, debate. And just in general, like he was quick on his feet, super intelligent individual, 100%. And one of the main reasons why Trump got elected. I don't care what anybody says. And he he was willing to go into places where others aren't. He was willing to go into uncomfortable, you know, college universities and sit there and debate people who have been brainwashed by absolute absolute the woke left and right, if you want to go ahead and put that. [31:34] Yep. [31:34] To to with this virus and and he was out there debating. And I don't I don't think he's ever, you know, people say that he's a racist and bigot, but he never to me, he was never that. He was somebody who just like he had his values. He believed in the nuclear family. He believed in God, obviously, religion. he he obviously had his views on on certain situations. [31:57] The same people who accused him falsely of being a racist bigot always reveal themselves to be racist bigots, which I think is uh the baked in irony to those who who perpetuate that stuff. And look, there's real racists and real bigots, but to attribute that to somebody like him, [32:22] It means that that you've seen the you've seen clips uh that are highly edited to paint a narrative that is completely false and or twisting words and saying that he said something that he didn't say. Anybody who's actually taken the time to watch, whether you agree or disagree with him, uh I think it would be fair to say for any fair-minded honest person that he was not uh a racist or a bigot and he wasn't a bad person. He was very strong in his views. And there's views that he had that I didn't necessarily share. [32:54] And that's fine. [32:54] but I valued that he would share his views and offer the microphone to anyone who was willing to talk. [33:00] Listen, I'm sure like some of the things I say you don't you you don't like that's okay. We're human beings. We have our own personal takes and that's it's totally fine to have that. And that's why very disappointed with that. I think he would have been I think he uh Charlie Kirk would have I I I fully believe he would have been the president of the United States of America at one point. [33:27] I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I [34:36] What first got you you excited about blockchains? Think about it. Oh wait. I bet it wasn't multi-million dollar hacks, exposed data, or finding somewhere safe to store your seed phrase. Was it? Maybe it was the idea of decentralizing a broken financial system. Maybe it was imagining a world where people own their own data and get to sharing the value it creates. Or maybe it was the promise of a fundamentally better way of connecting, communicating, and transacting. The next phase of the internet that empowers us instead of exploiting us. So, why hasn't it happened yet? Why are we still living with the same broken system that blockchains promised to fix? It's because blockchains can't keep a secret. Enabling open transparent systems was only the first half of the challenge. For blockchains to really change the world, they also have to be able to protect our sensitive data when it matters. And that's why we build Midnight to bring down the final barrier to mass adoption and unlock the full potential of the decentralized web. Let's build the internet we deserve. Together.

There is an astronaut conducting an emergency repair on a global communication satellite that could go dark at any moment. We have a second angle on this. Is that guy on FOMO? No, it's like me for real. Crazy, crazy. Yeah, let's get back to it everybody. This just in. According to the astronaut's FOMO account, highest in the room, the satellite has been restored. Yes. For now, the crisis appears to be over. Satellite's up and running. Positions looking good too. [37:00] There we go. United States of America representing. Socialism does not work.

But welcome back to the show. Sponsored by Midnight, also Polymarket, Cake Wallet and FOMO.

[Part 4 of 4] [David] [00:00] FOMO. Make sure to go ahead and sure to look into those uh four that I just mentioned. Uh shout out to I got so much so many things in the works, so many partners reached out. I'll get back to a lot of uh a lot of things that have been coming through in the the emails and stuff. Anyway, let's go to the trenches, shall we? Let's go to the trenches. Let's go ahead and open up uh FOMO. Let's go ahead and look at the trenches. And where are you, FOMO? FOMO, where are you? Okay, let's bring FOMO up. And here's FOMO. And let's and where is me? Where am I? I'm here. Hi. Hello. Uh let's go to let's get let's go to my lineup here. Let's fucking go to my I got to go ahead and do a banner also. All right. So, every time I look at dumb money, which I thought was a really cool play. I put 55, how much did I put in? I put $5,500 into dumb money. $5,500 $5,500 into dumb money. Maybe you could call me dumb money. I don't know. Let's go ahead and refresh this real quick. Yo, I love FOMO. They they they always consistently update their stuff. So, here's dumb money. I'm thinking it's bullish. I don't know. I I had supply control, I guess, when I bought 320 million uh for $5,200. I thought, hey, look, I got I got I I guess I got control. People would want me to hold it. Well, I was like, okay, I guess people don't want me to hold it, so I go ahead and lock it up. Lock up 290 million of dumb money and it went to 1.3 million. That was awesome to watch. It went to 1.3 million, but as soon as it went there, you know, when it went up here, like you see here, it went up all the way up here. You know, whoever was in the project or whoever, you know, it is what it is. People decided to take profit. And there's nothing I could do. Uh at the end of the day, you know, the community either the market either likes it or doesn't. And and that's bottom line. It's and I'm not going to force the issue. You know, the old me would force it. The old me would would absolutely force the issue. The new the new me it's kind of like, hey, at some point, like you can't just continue to put money into a chart for people to take it. I mean, if people need if if people need money, I just rather give it to them. I mean, it's just like it's not this is not it. And what this shows me is again, that even at what? Even at when when I say supply control matters, it does. Cuz this would not happen if you have supply control. I I I I don't I don't think this kind of thing happens if you have I'm talking about like 80, 90% at this point supply control. And I'm sorry, if if people disagree with me and say no, it's the truth. But also at the same time, long-term. And that's my line of thinking. It's long-term. So, okay. Maybe it's not maybe it's not the meta now. Even though Robin Hood, this makes total sense for Robin Hood with how everything started on Robin Hood. To me, it's like like dumb money made sense and I laughed when I bought it. I was like, yo, this is like perfect. This makes sense. But at the end of the day, like if if the market doesn't want it, then the market doesn't want it and it's cool. I mean, 24-hour volume is 10k. So, the market's obviously saying, hey, we're not interested right now or people haven't seen it enough. So, maybe in the bull market, people will see it and say, hey, this is something I want to get into. And the people that are getting out, as you can see, listen, a lot of people have said they they round tripped it. They should have took profit. Ultimately comes down to you. I didn't take out profit. It is what it is. You know, I I I locked up 290. I didn't take anything. So, that, you know, kind of sucks. Maybe I should have. Maybe when it hit 1 1.3 million, maybe I should have took profit. I didn't. Because I thought it was going to go higher. I really did think it was going to absolutely go higher. It just made sense. Uh so, that's dumb money, man. Hey, listen, it's at 128. Everybody wanted to get in. Everybody claimed that they missed it. Well, here here's I guess here's your chance. Uh you know, while people are fucking selling, I guess. Um what else is there? We got Auggie. Let's bring Auggie on the screen. Auggie's at 41k. I mean, this is absolutely like It's like I've been dunked on here six times now. So, six times I've been dunked on. And people have been hard selling. So, it's not like soft sells or anything. This is hard selling. You know, people have hard sold this. And I've watched. I watched carefully. I just want to say this. I can read the chain. I I understand I don't need AI. I can read the chain. Is AI useful? Yeah, 100%. But I can read it. And I and I know particularly the motherfuckers who like do this obnoxious shit. So, I guess I guess it is what it is. People wanted a good entry, 41k. I I guess. I don't How do you even get here after five? And I get it also, Hunter. A lot of this, the market is pulling back and you're going to have these situations happen. You know, Auggie and dumb money aren't the only things that pulled back. There are a lot of things in the market that have pulled back and really, you know, really lost. So, or people have, you know, had their portfolios cut 50. So, it is what it is. You know, at the end of the day, it is what it is, man. The market will ultimately decide. I'm not going to leave them. If anything, maybe I'll buy more. I don't know. It it just depends. Uh I got into Farcat yesterday. Uh I scanned this one. I went in with like 4. I just bought 4.6 million. I was like, Farcat's kind of cool because it gives you rewards back in Farc. So, in Farcoins. So, I was like, and right now it seems to be that's the meta where people are going after cats. So, I was like, fuck it, go into this. I was in and out, in and out of this, man. But now, it is what it is. I'll I'll let it play out and see what happens. At least you get rewards in Farcoin. So, uh none of this is an an endorsement or anything, but it's just me just talking about the shit that I have. Um also, obviously, Bobo, I don't I don't have I I got a little bit of Bobo here, a little bit of Bobo on on on the other wallet. But I have I have a lot of Bobo. Bottom line. When you look at Bobo, I mean, I'm looking at Bobo and I I'm like, this shouldn't be it. I mean, Bobo should not be here. A lot of people want me to talk about Bobo. I'll talk about it right now. I mean, Bobo going from here all the way to here. Reck Hack having control at 44%. I mean, like 44% supply control. Even at 44% So, I'm showing you, even at 44% with a real meme, S-tier meme. To me, this is an S-tier meme. Even with all that said, look at where it's at. Does that mean it won't pop? It will pop. At some point, at some point, people will say, okay. You're going to have people that completely sell all their shit. So, you're going to be done with the sellers and then you're going to have buyers and then it's going to pop. And Solana will come back. You know, right now this whole Robin Hood versus Solana stuff, you know, Solana will come back. It's going to go back and forth. I think right now people are kind of like, I'm starting to sense uh I'm starting to sense that people are are kind of like worn out from Robin Hood right now because it's been the same meta over and over and over again. Um the the stock pairing to the stock. And I think that's cool. Pairing to stocks and all that stuff, but at the end of the day, you know, liquidity does matter, man. Liquidity matters and you know what, people when they're accustomed to one thing and that's mostly like Solana heads are accustomed to Solana, they're going to come back to Solana after Robin Hood. But it'll go back and forth. Listen, I hope that Robin Hood, I hope Solana do well, extremely well. Like I said, Robin Hood is a behemoth. It's it's a it's a good thing that Robin Hood does good. It's a good thing that Base does well. Okay? And it's a great thing if Solana does well. All these things doing well means that the space does well and there's a lot of liquidity and there's a lot of things that are happening. So, I don't know. Like for me, it's like a good thing that everything performs. I I don't know why people are so against things performing. I I think I think it's a great thing when things perform. You know, at the end of the day, that's that's what I want to see. Um but again, the market will decide the market decides what happens. At the end of the day, ultimately, the market will decide. At this point, if you like something, if you like something and you think it's worth something, you just continue to build. And what I say to the devs is like continue building, man. It's like I have Bobo up here, continue building. That that's all I can say. Reck, continue making videos and, you know, do your thing, man. You I'm sure you have a plan. I don't know what it is. Obviously, I'm not I'm not a part of the team or anything like that, but I I hope that the plan works out. I I do hope. I I hold. Um I I want it to win. I think it I think it deserves a a victory. After everything that it's been through, I think it deserves a victory. But we'll see, man. We'll see what happens. The market's again, it's not about what I feel or what I like. It's about the market deciding what it likes. And that's bottom line. You know, if the market likes something, then it will decide that that shit is the one that deserves to be seen. Um let's go to tokens. There are tokens that are popping off, which are crazy. I mean, again, right now, Boner Coin. I mean, Boner Coin's popping $41.2 million. $41.2 million for a Boner Coin. I mean, but I mean, you had I I've seen this throughout the markets and throughout the cycles. You've had these things and situations pop off where people are talking about like a boner and stuff. Uh what else is there? Uh I'm only laughing because it's funny. You got Nudes. I talked about Nudes very early. It's at 5.5 million. It went high. It went up to like $32 million. So, I mean, could this So, there's a lot of plays here that you can look at and say, okay, the market See, for everything. So, I want to just show you, it's not for anybody who's down on something, like it's everywhere. So, like is Nudes a rug? No. Like, first of all, people need to stop using the word rug. Okay? Y'all use rug. Y'all use rug. Y'all y'all really have watered down the word rug. Okay? Rug was used when people had access to rug the liquidity pools, okay? Your LPs are burnt already, okay? No there's no rug. Stop it. If people sell, they sell. They that's what they choose to fucking do. Is there still malicious stuff out here? Are there still honeypots? Yeah. But if you're launch from a launchpad, you're not going to get that. So, stop it. Anyway, 8,000 holders. But look at it. I mean, Nudes is doing well and then the market pulls back. I mean, people are people are exhausted. You got to also say that people are taking profits, they're exhausted. And as soon as something starts pulling back, people get scared and they start, you know, selling at a loss too. Uh what else? I know this was cooking. Baton was cooking and that's Baton is something from uh FOMO's side. Uh not FOMO, excuse me. It's from uh Pump.fun side. It's a I think it's I don't I don't want to say it's the mascot for for Pump.fun, but here here it is. It's at 1.9. I mean, it went high, 10 million and now it's at 1.9. So, is this something that you go ahead and look at? I don't know. Like again, it's it's time to start looking at memes that ran and have a good narrative behind them. Versus just like running into everything that is just launching off. I think at some point, at some point, motherfuckers got to get tired of that shit, man. Like at some point, are you not tired? I'm looking through um I'm looking to see if where the Where the fuck is it? Man, a lot look, Ansem is down. And right away, the market pulls back and I and I see a lot of people, you know, start to What the fuck happened just now? I just put on it. Ansem. A lot of people start getting on Ansem. But Ansem has no control over whatever the markets do. I'm not trying to I'm nobody's PR agent, but okay. So, it's pulled back. If you really fuck with Ansem's token, you'd go in. If you don't, then you don't go in. The market's deciding that the current worth is $161.8 million in terms of a market cap. That's it. There's 137,000 fucking people holding it. Could come back, right? You have Kate. This been up and down, up and down, up. Could go down. Could continue to go up. 121,000 holders in it, apparently. $1.3 million in liquidity, $62.4 million. I mean, how many had the opportunity to get it in in the 20s or even lower than that? And Pork Goat continues. Like he's always consistently just fucking he is he is thesising away, man. Consistently. He's consistent with that shit. 100%. What else is it? Ponds. We talked about Ponds today on the show. Ponds is having a So, is Ponds a scam also because it's pulling back? No, it's not a scam. It's people taking profit. That's what's happening here. It's people taking profit. Okay? So, it's at $586.5 million. It was up to almost, I think it almost hit a billion. So, again, is this an opportunity for some people? Are people looking at it, understanding what Ponds is about? I mean, you could have Ponds for I mean, early entry, everybody had an early entry for a long time. You could have been at you could have been in Ponds literally at $2.88 million. For a long time. You just decided to listen to fuckery. You've been tuned into bullshit. That's If you're not winning, you're tuned into bullshit. And you need to figure out why do you continue to listen to dog shit and have you found something of value? That's really it. It's really easy. It's really easy. I got to tell you, it's really easy really, really fucking easy to adjust. If you really want to adjust. Look, look at this. Is this a rug also? No, it's not a rug. People decided to take profits. That's it. Like I'm showing you I want to show you I'm showing you all these charts for a reason because everything is moving towards the downside, okay? And like I've been saying, I believe there will be one more pullback. Landy has been even more convinced there's another pullback coming. One last one before we go up. So, are some of these opportunities to get in? Is Cash Cat a rug because it it went to 320 and now it's at 150 or 168? No, it's people taking profits. Okay? It's people looking at the fucking industry, taking profits, people inside the fucking thing, taking profits. It's totally fine. Right away, as soon as somebody pulls profits out or there's profit taking, it's a rug. It's not a rug. It's it's stupid. When I hear that kind of When I hear these conversations, I'm like, these are the people that are never going to win. These are absolutely the people that just do not know or have the ability to win because they don't understand the market. They just don't understand what's happening within the markets. Um I mean, Mars Coin also, another one that Look, every chart that I'm looking at right now is having a pullback. So, this went up into the 250, 275 area. Now at 114 million. So, again, you got to ask yourself, is this an opportunity? Here's another one. Stonk Stonk was was heading higher. Now it's at 166. $166 million. Again, it's what I'm going to ask you again, is this an opportunity to get into something? Is it? You got to decide. You got to like it. You got to like it. So, you got to see what the opportunities out are out here for you. And that's bottom line. And again, it's one by one. That's how it spreads. A lot of the things that I've noticed is is that a lot of the tokens that pop off, it takes one or two months for real tokens to actually pop off. So, you also got to look at how long has the token been alive? How long has it been out there? And what does it currently stand? And and that's and that's another thing that a lot of people don't do. But there have been a lot of runners, man. Multiple runners. There are people that are questioning whether the OG memes do come back because of this. I think I think there comes a time where OG memes do make a comeback. Because people will get tired of the shit that comes off of a launchpad every single second of the day. I think that's where people get tired and they say, you know what, I'm I'm done. I need to go focus on getting into some real shit, some real memes, some OG memes, because those things are going to fly. Cuz if you don't think Pepe's going to run, if you don't think Doge Coin's going to run, if you don't think Shiba Inu's not going to run again, I I think I think you're miscalculating the markets. I really do. I've had enough time to analyze and look and understand. Biggest thing for me is I I think I 100% you have to have supply control. 100%. And you know what, I'm totally okay with projects having supply control. If projects have supply control, God bless, man. I'm totally fine with it. Totally fucking fine with supply control. Anyway, on that note, on that note, um it's been real being here back again and I'll be back here tomorrow, same time and you guys can go ahead and tune in. All right. I much respect for everybody for showing up. Shout out to the sponsors, Midnight, Polly Market, Cake Wallet, FOMO. I'll be back here tomorrow. On that note, on that note, I'm out.
