🛑 THIS will Create HIGHER Cryptocurrency Prices · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD: Surviving Global Economic Shifts | RONS BASEMENT

• 0:38
  Hey guys, welcome to the live stream.
• 0:40
  Welcome to the basement. We've got some incredible things
• 0:42
  to look at this morning that are going on right now in our
• 0:45
  community. There's a lot of people say they
• 0:48
  come to UFD because maybe they see a live stream, they hear
• 0:51
  about me, but the reason they stay is because of you.
• 0:55
  So let's get started by taking a look at some incredible new
• 1:00
  video footage that came out just yesterday from our friend the
• 1:05
  Dark Duster. And let me play this for you.
• 1:11
  Really, really cool stuff guys. This is footage of the new promo
• 1:16
  car, the Duster, and here we go check this out.
• 1:28
  Unbelievable. Yes, Sir.
• 1:38
  There you go. Now you can see the full screen.
• 1:41
  I just watched that again Look at it.
• 1:44
  I'm down, baby. Wow, unbelievable.
• 1:48
  This is what the community can a communist.
• 2:01
  All right, guys, but it's just not that because the community
• 2:04
  is doing incredible things on many different levels.
• 2:06
  Have you seen this? It just feels like it never
• 2:09
  ends. I ran into this one last night
• 2:12
  that I had yet to see. We've got our own comic series
• 2:16
  going on right now from our friend Asta Way Asta Yami 26226
• 2:24
  really cool, right? I mean check this out.
• 2:26
  There's like a whole series of comics that they're putting
• 2:29
  together. What's he say?
• 2:31
  I'll just read the first one. I've said it from the start.
• 2:33
  Unicorn fart dust isn't a joke. It's the future.
• 2:37
  And look at the fox Seriously, a crypto called Unicorn fart dust.
• 2:41
  You must be kidding me. Anyhow, I mean the the guy he's
• 2:46
  put out a whole series. This one's great as well.
• 2:48
  I encourage you to check it out. Again, this is from ASTA YAMI
• 2:54
  26226. So great job.
• 2:56
  But it's not just that. I mean, what else is the
• 2:59
  community up to? And I can't even say it all.
• 3:01
  There's so much going on, but we've got this ad campaign that
• 3:05
  P kind of spearheaded at Crunch Fitness where we're going to
• 3:09
  have like video displays, as I understand it, on treadmills,
• 3:15
  different machines where people are going to be seeing UFD ads.
• 3:19
  Those will be new butter cups, new people getting the word out.
• 3:22
  Think about the promo car, think about Crunch Fitness, think
• 3:26
  about the the comic series going on.
• 3:30
  And there's a sticker campaign. And again, I'm just touching on
• 3:33
  the surface. So if I didn't mention your
• 3:35
  individual campaign that you have going, please don't be
• 3:38
  offended. You will get your day.
• 3:40
  But we've got a sticker campaign, really cool stickers
• 3:43
  being made so that we can paste around cities, around the
• 3:47
  universe, around the world, right?
• 3:50
  The good news about UFD, and we got to look at this as well.
• 3:55
  DJ Litmus has been putting out this Kryptonia series, which is
• 4:01
  kind of lore surrounding a lot of people in our community.
• 4:06
  There's me, but that's not the important one.
• 4:09
  The enchanted realm of Kryptonia.
• 4:11
  There was a wise and skeptical magician.
• 4:15
  OK, Yeah. I've been called worse.
• 4:18
  There's Ryan Waller, and I forgot to add it.
• 4:22
  Sorry. Now you see it.
• 4:23
  Thank you, Susie. Thank you.
• 4:25
  Thank you, sweetheart. I appreciate it.
• 4:28
  Yep, there's Ryan Waller. Sorry, guys, I forgot to show
• 4:31
  the appropriate screen. There's the Kryptonia with me.
• 4:36
  This is again, DJ Litmus. If we go down here a little
• 4:40
  further, there's one for Obi Wanton, The tale of Obi Wanton,
• 4:44
  the sage of Kryptonia. So everywhere we look, we've got
• 4:48
  people doing things that are furthering the reach of UFD.
• 4:54
  And again, right, whether it's me that gets new people in the
• 4:58
  door or it's you doing something, converting one of
• 5:01
  those butter cups, and you know what a buttercup is?
• 5:04
  That's someone who doesn't yet own UFD, right?
• 5:07
  Cryptocurrency, UFD, beans, the coin, whether it's you, whether
• 5:12
  it's me, right? Whoever gets people into the
• 5:16
  door, they stay. And they stay because of one
• 5:19
  thing. That's because of you.
• 5:21
  That's because of the community. Let's go take a look.
• 5:24
  I found something very we're going to shift gears here for a
• 5:27
  second and go look at the main economy.
• 5:29
  Real interesting article came out yesterday on Yahoo Finance
• 5:34
  about Trump's first 100 days in office.
• 5:38
  And here we go. We've got that up.
• 5:41
  This is a chart put together by Yahoo Finance showing the 1st
• 5:45
  100 days of Trump. I think this runs through April
• 5:49
  30th. Crude oil down 25%.
• 5:52
  The MAGS ETF, that's probably the magnificent 7 Facebook,
• 5:57
  Apple, Amazon, the big seven, NVIDIA, the big seven tech
• 6:01
  stocks down significantly. What, 17 percent, 10 year yield,
• 6:07
  total return down 10%, Bitcoin down 10%, Dollar index down 9%,
• 6:13
  S&P 500 down 7%. But gold, right?
• 6:17
  Gold, the original form of defy, it's been valuable everywhere
• 6:22
  for all times is up by 20%. Very, very interesting situation
• 6:28
  we're going into and and in a minute here, we're going to talk
• 6:31
  about what's happening in the economy stagflation right now
• 6:36
  and why that will be what I believe to be like the most
• 6:40
  fertile environment for crypto prices, also for precious metals
• 6:46
  prices. And I think they both will do
• 6:48
  very well because they are both decentralized finance products
• 6:52
  that are outside of the main Fiat money system.
• 6:56
  OK guys. And by the way, before I forget
• 6:58
  my disclaimer, I'm not a financial advisor.
• 7:01
  Don't buy or sell anything, make any financial decisions based on
• 7:04
  anything that I'm saying Today. I want to say thank you to
• 7:07
  channel sponsor Ledger, right the the cold hardware wallet,
• 7:13
  cold storage crypto security leader.
• 7:16
  Thank you, Ledger. Thanks for everything you're
• 7:18
  doing to support the entire crypto community, allowing
• 7:22
  people to safely store their cryptocurrency.
• 7:24
  And we got some big news this week out of channel sponsor Moon
• 7:30
  Pay. They announced that you can now
• 7:33
  buy digital tokenized gold on the Moon Pay platform.
• 7:38
  Yes, Moon Pay, right? Trusted by 30 million people 180
• 7:42
  countries the on ramp into crypto, but now the big news is
• 7:47
  you can buy tokenized gold on the moon pay platform.
• 7:52
  The product is from tether, the company that's behind the big
• 7:55
  stable coin USD T. The product that allows you to
• 7:59
  buy tokenized gold that's from Tether is XAUT.
• 8:04
  And what it does is it really combines the benefits of owning
• 8:08
  physical gold with the benefits of tokenization, the benefits of
• 8:13
  crypto, the benefits of the blockchain.
• 8:15
  I want to run out and show you the website for XAUT.
• 8:20
  It's a great website with a lot of wonderful information
• 8:25
  educational about crypto educational about stable coins
• 8:28
  and of course educational about gold as well.
• 8:32
  Here it is gold made easy Tether gold now remember this is
• 8:36
  tether. This is the company again that's
• 8:38
  behind usdt and another key attribute to this product is it
• 8:44
  is backed by real gold. Each 1X AUT token is backed by 1
• 8:51
  ounce of gold in a vault in Switzerland, and this is LBMA
• 8:56
  good for delivery gold. So this when you own one token
• 9:00
  of XAUT, you own one ounce of physical gold.
• 9:05
  But owning physical gold can be cumbersome.
• 9:08
  All right, Gold's a great investment and it's been hitting
• 9:12
  record highs lately. But there's some drawbacks to
• 9:15
  owning physical gold in in the digital opportunity.
• 9:20
  The tokenized opportunity that you have with XAUT addresses a
• 9:25
  lot of those. Let's just go down and I'll read
• 9:27
  through a list because this is important to think about.
• 9:31
  OK? Number one, it's easy to
• 9:33
  transport. Look, if you have 100 ounces of
• 9:36
  gold and you want to move it somewhere in the world or you
• 9:39
  want to take it somewhere with you, it's very cumbersome, it's
• 9:42
  very difficult, and it's very dangerous, right?
• 9:46
  Digital gold, tokenized gold solves that problem because the
• 9:50
  actual gold is in a vault, again, in Switzerland.
• 9:54
  Easy divisibility. OK, look at this.
• 9:57
  You can divide the XAU to XA XAUT token down to 6 decimal
• 10:05
  point points .000001. Okay, really difficult to do
• 10:12
  that with physical gold. Okay, 24/7 trading with ease.
• 10:17
  You don't have to wait for a coin shop to open.
• 10:18
  You don't have to wait for the big electronic gold exchanges to
• 10:21
  open. With this, with tokenized gold
• 10:24
  from Tether, you can trade 24/7, 365 days a year.
• 10:29
  It's redeemable for physical gold, right?
• 10:33
  It's easy storage. You don't have to worry about
• 10:36
  where you're going to store your gold.
• 10:39
  If you have a lot of precious metals, it can be kind of a
• 10:43
  challenge to figure out where am I going to store these?
• 10:45
  Am I going to keep them in a safe in my house?
• 10:47
  Am I going to put them in a bank safety deposit box?
• 10:50
  With this, you know that your gold is stored in Switzerland.
• 10:55
  So I think it's a great product, a great opportunity.
• 10:57
  Something you might want to take a look at.
• 11:00
  You can go out to the website, but what's even best about it is
• 11:03
  that you can get to it now from Moon Pay.
• 11:07
  You can buy this directly on the moon Pay platform and you know,
• 11:11
  right, 30 million people, 30 million plus people have trusted
• 11:15
  Moon Pay is the on ramp into crypto.
• 11:18
  They're in 180 countries. Check it out.
• 11:21
  I think you'll think you'll be interested in what you see when
• 11:24
  you look at the XAUT from our friends at tether.
• 11:29
  All right, guys, let's move on and talk about what's going on
• 11:32
  in this economy, which again I said I believe is going to be
• 11:36
  huge, huge for the crypto market in the coming 5 to 10 years,
• 11:40
  also huge for the precious metals.
• 11:42
  But what we are moving into right now, get ready.
• 11:46
  I'm sorry you're going to hear a word for the next number of
• 11:49
  years that that that you're going to hear over and over when
• 11:53
  it comes to the economy. And that is stagflation and we
• 11:57
  are definitely in a stagflationary environment right
• 12:01
  now. Now look, I sat down here.
• 12:03
  Let me come back and look at you.
• 12:05
  For those of you who have followed me for years, I I sat
• 12:07
  down here for the last two years and banged the table and said we
• 12:10
  are heading to stagflation. That will be a great environment
• 12:15
  for assets that are outside of the Fiat money system.
• 12:19
  To repeat myself, that would be things like crypto, that would
• 12:22
  be things like gold and silver. The last time we went into a
• 12:25
  stagflationary environment was the 1970s.
• 12:28
  There was no crypto, obviously, in the 1970s, but there was gold
• 12:33
  and silver, and it had the best returns of anything
• 12:37
  unbelievable. Like, I think silver went up 50
• 12:40
  times, gold went up, I don't know, 1727 times in value.
• 12:45
  Now, I put crypto in that same basket.
• 12:49
  And I think we're heading into a very, very profitable and
• 12:52
  lucrative period, right? Because the Fed doesn't know
• 12:55
  what to do. But now even mainstream media is
• 12:59
  picking up on this stagflation thing.
• 13:01
  Let's go take a look at an article.
• 13:05
  Uh oh, hold on here. I'm having a little technical
• 13:10
  problem. I'll be right back.
• 13:13
  OK, here we go. Let's make sure we're all set.
• 13:19
  Hopefully you guys can still see me.
• 13:20
  And hear me, there's President Donald Trump.
• 13:23
  OK, this is from, again, from Yahoo Finance.
• 13:27
  Shrinking GDP. So yesterday we got news that
• 13:31
  the economy actually shrunk during the first quarter of
• 13:35
  2025, right by like what, .3%? The expectations were that the
• 13:41
  economy would grow. So now, now mainstream media
• 13:45
  finally, after us talking about it for two years, is saying
• 13:48
  shrinking GDP and elevated inflation puts the Fed in a very
• 13:53
  tough spot. Let me explain to you why that
• 13:56
  is. That's a very critical thing to
• 13:58
  understand and it's not that difficult.
• 14:01
  The feds in a difficult spot because when the economy is
• 14:04
  shrinking, what typically needs to be done with monetary policy
• 14:10
  and what the Fed does is referred to as monetary policy.
• 14:15
  What the government does is fiscal policy with the Fed,
• 14:18
  right? This guy does your old friend
• 14:21
  who likes to print money, Jerome Powell.
• 14:23
  What he does is referred to as monetary policy.
• 14:28
  So when the economy is shrinking, what what the the
• 14:31
  usual course of action is the lower interest rates that
• 14:35
  stimulates the economy and makes money cheaper devalues the
• 14:39
  dollar. The problem is, OK, if they do
• 14:44
  that now, right, cutting interest rates also fuels
• 14:49
  inflation. So typically what happens is
• 14:51
  when the economy slows down, inflation starts to come down so
• 14:56
  they're able to lower rates and they offset each other.
• 14:58
  But now we're in this environment where he.
• 15:01
  That's why I put I put him in a box OK, I, you know, you check
• 15:05
  me Nick two, 2 1/2 years ago I predicted this right.
• 15:09
  There's the recession that we talked about, the ADP number
• 15:13
  that was down. OK, there's inflation.
• 15:17
  He is literally in a box, guys. This is no joke, right?
• 15:21
  Because now if he cuts rates to deal with the recession, that's
• 15:25
  going to make inflation get worse than it already is.
• 15:29
  And we already had inflation that was higher than normal.
• 15:34
  Now we've got the tariff inflation.
• 15:36
  So then if they try to cut rates even more, we can have massive,
• 15:41
  excuse me, inflation. And when they do, when that
• 15:44
  inflation hits, what they have to do is raise interest rates.
• 15:49
  That's how you fight inflation. Well, that makes this worse, the
• 15:53
  recession. So it's just like they bounce
• 15:55
  back and forth, bounce back and forth.
• 15:58
  And the end result, right, is that people start to lose
• 16:01
  confidence in the system like what happened in the 70s.
• 16:05
  And we'll move towards assets that are outside of the Fiat
• 16:09
  based money system, assets like crypto, assets like gold and
• 16:15
  silver. So be prepared.
• 16:16
  It's coming, you know, it's coming to the country.
• 16:19
  I think we're in for a wonderful, great time in the
• 16:21
  crypto world. Let's go back, focus back on UFD
• 16:24
  for a minute and what the community is doing.
• 16:29
  We're going to check on Emma Baer.
• 16:32
  And Emma tells us our social dominance update.
• 16:35
  Guys, we moved back up to #14 from 16 yesterday.
• 16:41
  OK? So keep up the good work, right?
• 16:43
  I mean, of course. And she points out we're the
• 16:45
  only meme coin sponsored by Moon Pay and Ledger.
• 16:49
  We're ahead of so many coins that have such higher market
• 16:53
  caps. We remain, right?
• 16:55
  We just totally remain probably the best value proposition in
• 17:01
  the meme coin sector and the deepest, most rooted community
• 17:07
  by far bar none. All right, let's go take a look
• 17:10
  at this right. What's our native token doing
• 17:13
  breaking Solana hits 3 billion and 24 hour decks volume 108%
• 17:20
  more than Ethereum. So Solana, right, which is our,
• 17:24
  our grandfather continues to impress, continues to do a great
• 17:28
  job. Now let's do the duster of the
• 17:30
  day. Today we've got a very special
• 17:33
  duster of the day, our friend UFD Corral.
• 17:36
  He is working tirelessly on the UFD mission and he wrote a
• 17:41
  really nice note that I'm going to share with you guys right
• 17:45
  now. He says thank you, Ron, hold on
• 17:49
  one second. I'm a quick sip of coffee.
• 17:57
  Thank you Ron, When I got noticed that I've been nominated
• 18:00
  for Duster of the Day, I was super excited.
• 18:03
  I'm going to include a note so that members can understand why
• 18:05
  this means so much to me. Feel free to edit this down as
• 18:11
  you see fit. On July 4th, 2001, I was sitting
• 18:14
  in a hotel room waiting to go sign my contract to be an
• 18:17
  enlisted aviator in the Air Force when I enlisted. 14 months
• 18:22
  of the most intense, difficult mental, physical training I've
• 18:24
  ever experienced. 90% was the minimum acceptable passing
• 18:29
  grade. Anything less than 85 was an
• 18:31
  immediate washout. I missed distinguished graduate
• 18:34
  by point O 2% got my wings and went overseas.
• 18:38
  It all started going sideways almost immediately.
• 18:40
  In late 2005 I got an honorable discharge and left the Air Force
• 18:46
  for the next 12 years. Everything they could go wrong
• 18:49
  went wrong, including am I sharing this?
• 18:52
  No, I am not, am I? Yes, I am.
• 18:55
  Sorry guys, I thought maybe I wasn't sharing the screen with
• 18:57
  you, including things you would not wish on your worst enemies.
• 19:07
  I lost my wife and kids, my family.
• 19:10
  I was homeless, penniless, possession less three different
• 19:13
  times, and finally, in 2017, I washed up in one of the biggest
• 19:17
  cities in America and one of its worst ghettos.
• 19:19
  I decided I deserved better. This is important for people
• 19:23
  going through similar situations.
• 19:24
  I decided that if I'm playing a game of life where I'm destined
• 19:28
  to fail, then I need to use my skills, my resources, anything
• 19:32
  to legally change the rules of the game I'm playing to a game
• 19:35
  of life that I can win and succeed at.
• 19:38
  I eliminated anything or anyone that was not pursuing positive
• 19:41
  things for themselves or their situations.
• 19:44
  And after three years, I was able to retire to a nice house
• 19:48
  in a nice neighborhood in a nice part of town.
• 19:50
  And for the last five years years, I've done basically
• 19:52
  nothing. For about 10 years, I decided
• 19:55
  humanity didn't want me and I didn't want it, and I was happy
• 19:58
  with the situation. On December 17th I got a
• 20:02
  notification on my phone and discovered Unicorn fart dust.
• 20:06
  The hair in my arms stood on end.
• 20:08
  This, I knew instantly, would be huge.
• 20:10
  And as the months have gone by, I've been more convinced that I
• 20:14
  was right. Ron, you're showing up every
• 20:16
  day, good and bad, and the values you display have
• 20:19
  convinced me that UF DS potential is limitless.
• 20:22
  It's what convinced me to come out of the shadows and take a
• 20:25
  chance to create some art and images that speak to me and
• 20:31
  share them with the herd. I've had more positive
• 20:34
  interactions with people in UFD in four months than I had in 10
• 20:38
  years outside of UFD. Wow, that is huge.
• 20:41
  I hope my merch brings people joy and sparks conversation in
• 20:44
  real life. But more importantly, I hope
• 20:46
  that person out there struggling, that doesn't know
• 20:50
  what tragedy awaits them tomorrow and what they're going
• 20:53
  to do about it, get some hope from this message.
• 20:56
  Believe in yourself, believe in your abilities.
• 20:59
  Don't look at the mountain. Focus on the next Ridge and the
• 21:02
  next shelf and the next hand hold.
• 21:04
  Before you know it, you can plant your flag on top of the
• 21:07
  mountain, celebrating the rest of your life.
• 21:10
  Sincerely, UFD Corral, well, UFD Corral, thank you for writing
• 21:16
  that right. A very inspirational message to
• 21:18
  all of our dusters out there in the community.
• 21:21
  You are the duster of the day. So everybody join me and we are
• 21:25
  going to install the Golden Horn.
• 21:29
  Thanks UFD Corral. Hey guys, thank you for being
• 21:32
