Speaker 1: Let's get into catalysts today. They're going to drive the market.
0:02
Speaker 1: We did a video before. You're going to love this one,
0:04
Speaker 1: so stick around. Let's just jump right in. I do
0:06
Speaker 1: want to thank our sponsor today and that is I
0:08
Speaker 1: Trust Capital. This is one of the tax benefits that
0:12
Speaker 1: you can go out there and achieve right now, even
0:14
Speaker 1: before the end of the year, and also even into
0:17
Speaker 1: the first and next year, and that is starting to
0:18
Speaker 1: compile or build your own CRYPTOIRA works very similar to
0:22
Speaker 1: regular IRA, so you have a lot of same tax benefits.
0:25
Speaker 1: Also opportunities out there. Get into tax loss harvesting. If
0:29
Speaker 1: you have made gains on other investments and you've had
0:33
Speaker 1: some losses and other things, you can go out there
0:35
Speaker 1: and get a one for one tax loss harvest before
0:38
Speaker 1: the end of the year, even up to around three
0:41
Speaker 1: K if you have not made any capital gains. So
0:43
Speaker 1: there's some things I always consult with your tax advisor,
0:46
Speaker 1: get the right person to work with you in doing
0:49
Speaker 1: any of these things. But use our link down below
0:51
Speaker 1: to get started. All right, let's go over to a
0:53
Speaker 1: couple of points I want to hit on. We did
0:55
Speaker 1: this video several weeks back month ago, and it was
0:59
Speaker 1: our bullmarket at video, and we had about I think
1:02
Speaker 1: a dozen things or so that most likely you probably
1:06
Speaker 1: have heard of. Now we're going to compile this for
1:09
Speaker 1: you in a way that has some similarities to the
1:12
Speaker 1: last video but gets into some of the nuances for
1:14
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six that I think are going to be
1:17
Speaker 1: critical to be able to get an upmarket going forward.
1:20
Speaker 1: One of those is what we're going to see with
1:22
Speaker 1: the government shutdown, because we remember, we just had the
1:24
Speaker 1: longest shutdown ever. All right, we all know that, but
1:27
Speaker 1: there's another one looming right now. And a couple of
1:30
Speaker 1: points I wanted to highlight here in this article that
1:32
Speaker 1: are important is that Congress this year avoided a legislative
1:37
Speaker 1: showdown during the holiday season by extending this through January thirtieth,
1:41
Speaker 1: simply meaning the fact that they both agreed to extend
1:44
Speaker 1: it maybe gives us some insight that there is some
1:48
Speaker 1: sort of agreement they're not going to do this. But
1:50
Speaker 1: also Congress hasn't met that deadline in three decades, so
1:53
Speaker 1: that is another thing that's looming that hopefully they're thinking
1:58
Speaker 1: this last shutdown did a lot of damage. Maybe this
2:01
Speaker 1: is the one to avoid if we can do it,
2:03
Speaker 1: and I think the fact that they've given themselves some
2:05
Speaker 1: time to come back after Christmas and New Year's to
2:08
Speaker 1: get it done is good. If you look at the
2:10
Speaker 1: polymarket on this, I'll zoom in on that it has
2:12
Speaker 1: been falling off really since about a week or so
2:15
Speaker 1: ago at thirty one percent, which was a good probability,
2:19
Speaker 1: down from almost thirty six percent, but now hovering right
2:24
Speaker 1: there at twenty eight percent. So it still seems as
2:28
Speaker 1: though we're in good shape for no shutdown, But this
2:31
Speaker 1: could spend on a dime if we end up having
2:35
Speaker 1: the Dems in the Republicans start to fight about healthcare,
2:37
Speaker 1: which I think is going to be the one to
2:39
Speaker 1: pay attention to because healthcare is one of the catalysts
2:43
Speaker 1: I think that affects most Americans. It also is one
2:46
Speaker 1: of the things that will get in the way of
2:49
Speaker 1: getting a Clarity Act. Healthcare and some of these other
2:52
Speaker 1: bills that are going through DC in January could slow
2:54
Speaker 1: us down. So we need to get this one done.
2:56
Speaker 1: Take a look at this clip.
2:58
Speaker 2: Is it the government reopened tonight?
3:00
Speaker 3: Would Republicans have a plan to address the Obamacare subjeces?
3:05
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, have a point.
3:07
Speaker 3: We've been working on it since day one of this Congress.
3:10
Speaker 2: Republicans are advancing real reforms and healthcare unlike Democrats.
3:15
Speaker 4: The chairwoman of the Rules can be knows I have
3:17
Speaker 4: great affection for her. Let me just go through a
3:20
Speaker 4: list of things here. In February of twenty sixteen, we're
3:24
Speaker 4: going to replace Obamacare with something so much better. Nothing
3:27
Speaker 4: followed twenty seventeen, never did twenty eighteen. Wait till you
3:31
Speaker 4: see the plans that we have coming out literally over
3:33
Speaker 4: the next four weeks. Nothing happened June sixteenth, twenty nineteen.
3:37
Speaker 4: We'll be announcing it in about two months, maybe less.
3:40
Speaker 4: Nothing happened. We're signing in a healthcare plan within two weeks.
3:43
Speaker 4: If nothing happened July twenty twenty, it might be it
3:47
Speaker 4: might be Sunday. Nothing happened August third, twenty twenty. It's
3:51
Speaker 4: just about completed. Nothing twenty twenty four. Concepts of a plan.
3:56
Speaker 4: Nothing happened in May of twenty twenty five. People are
4:01
Speaker 4: sick and tired of the empty rhetoric. Donald Trump has
4:05
Speaker 4: been president or running for president for like a decade.
4:10
Speaker 1: So you can see people are getting fed up with
4:12
Speaker 1: this rightly. So this is one of the big concerns
4:15
Speaker 1: of the American population. The key is that we've got
4:18
Speaker 1: to get something underway, and it's going to need to
4:21
Speaker 1: be somewhat bipartisan to make this work. Why is this
4:24
Speaker 1: important because it does affect economy, and I think the economy,
4:27
Speaker 1: of course has a lot of influence on how investors
4:31
Speaker 1: have a perception of sentiment, but also what they're going
4:33
Speaker 1: to do in terms of investing in its own right.
4:36
Speaker 1: When you look at the economic growth, this is the
4:39
Speaker 1: good sign. If we've got good news coming, this is it.
4:42
Speaker 1: And that is of course, we've started to see a
4:44
Speaker 1: little bit of domestic product growth. And when you look
4:46
Speaker 1: at GDP starting to climb, I think we're expecting a
4:49
Speaker 1: three point three and it came into four point three,
4:51
Speaker 1: so very hot for the third quarter, and again we'll
4:54
Speaker 1: still get that number end of this year. I think
4:57
Speaker 1: a few weeks into January. That'll be the tell. I
4:59
Speaker 1: think that will give us an indicator if we are
5:02
Speaker 1: actually on an acceleration out of this current economy. Right now,
5:07
Speaker 1: if you look at the consumer confidence, which is the
5:09
Speaker 1: thing I talk about the most, is it actually fell
5:12
Speaker 1: down three point eight points. This was in December, and
5:16
Speaker 1: that was down again from last month. But the key
5:18
Speaker 1: is is maybe this could be stabilizing here because it
5:22
Speaker 1: has been sliding. But right here we've got a little
5:24
Speaker 1: bit of an uptrend. You no charts, you know that
5:27
Speaker 1: might signal a little bit of an uptrend. Right there
5:30
Speaker 1: we saw the last up trend on this, So maybe
5:33
Speaker 1: there is some opportunity here where the consumer confidence could spike,
5:36
Speaker 1: And of course that usually helps with a lot of things,
5:39
Speaker 1: including jobs, which is one of the biggest ones I
5:41
Speaker 1: am most concerned about. The other thing you have to
5:44
Speaker 1: look at is very surveys estimated the US consumers plan
5:47
Speaker 1: to spend around nine hundred to eleven hundred per person
5:49
Speaker 1: on gifts and food this holiday season. That's another positive
5:53
Speaker 1: indicator that people have not slowed down. US inflation through
5:57
Speaker 1: trueflation at two point two nine percent, and then if
6:00
Speaker 1: you look at the aggregate at around twenty eight percent
6:02
Speaker 1: since January twenty twenty. Remember, inflation is accumulative. It is
6:06
Speaker 1: not that each year. It is accumulating over time. Your
6:11
Speaker 1: dollar continues to be worth less as well as worthless,
6:15
Speaker 1: So you know what to do there. The debasement trade
6:18
Speaker 1: is the only way. Other things that you have to
6:20
Speaker 1: kind of consider is are they going to get their due?
6:23
Speaker 1: I just don't know if DC is ever going to
6:26
Speaker 1: get their due. This was, of course Senator Kennedy trying
6:28
Speaker 1: to get a bill in there to withhold senator pay
6:31
Speaker 1: during the shutdowns. I don't even know that this would
6:33
Speaker 1: matter because these people, they make so much money on
6:36
Speaker 1: the other side of it that I just don't even
6:38
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even care. I don't think the paltry pay
6:41
Speaker 1: they get as a senator, as a congressman. Let's go
6:44
Speaker 1: over and take a look at this right here, because
6:45
Speaker 1: this is important, and that is the balance sheet reduction
6:48
Speaker 1: that the Fed is doing, and that of course you
6:50
Speaker 1: know what that is. That's QT it's over. Is QE
6:54
Speaker 1: back in place? Because remember we had Powell saying we're
6:56
Speaker 1: going to put in forty bill, We're going to adjust
6:58
Speaker 1: the balance sheet. This is maintenance. But in reality, are
7:02
Speaker 1: we actually looking at the first nice little move up
7:06
Speaker 1: right there, just a little bit of a move up.
7:10
Speaker 1: Is that the signal that quantitative easing is underway? And
7:14
Speaker 1: is it stealth or silent or is it actually just
7:17
Speaker 1: the beginning of something much bigger, which many people believe
7:21
Speaker 1: is the case. One thing though, that I think is
7:24
Speaker 1: going to play into This is going to be the
7:26
Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruling on whether or not Trump's global tariffs
7:29
Speaker 1: are illegal. Now, this is probably going to play out
7:32
Speaker 1: to one of two ways. One is they're going to
7:34
Speaker 1: come out illegal and he's going to keep their tariff
7:38
Speaker 1: revenue because it's going to be very complicated to handle
7:41
Speaker 1: these kinds of you know, refunds, I guess, or it's
7:45
Speaker 1: going to come out and not illegal, and that of
7:49
Speaker 1: course is going to only energize I think this administration
7:54
Speaker 1: that much more so. This is a big one to watch.
7:56
Speaker 1: It's I think it's a bigger issue than a lot
7:59
Speaker 1: of people are putting on it right now. President Trump
8:02
Speaker 1: also said, anybody disagrees with me, especially around interest rates,
8:06
Speaker 1: well we don't care. They're never going to be the
8:08
Speaker 1: FED chair. And this is a listen, you look at
8:12
Speaker 1: the administration. Yes, there's been some wins, there's been a
8:15
Speaker 1: lot of losses. To me, this is one that just
8:18
Speaker 1: doesn't need to get out there in the sense of
8:20
Speaker 1: trying to get the market in uproars about a non
8:24
Speaker 1: neutral FED. And this is the concern I think a
8:27
Speaker 1: lot of people have. No there is a lot of
8:28
Speaker 1: analysts out there that simply say doesn't matter. It's never
8:31
Speaker 1: been neutral. It's always been influenced by who's in the office.
8:34
Speaker 4: I get it.
8:35
Speaker 1: But this is getting out there a little bit more blatant,
8:38
Speaker 1: and I think this is where President Trump needs to
8:40
Speaker 1: maybe back it down a bit. Trump says, if inflation
8:44
Speaker 1: will take care of us, else I mean it doesn't,
8:46
Speaker 1: we can always raise rates. That's the first time he
8:49
Speaker 1: has mentioned raising rates ever that I have heard. So
8:53
Speaker 1: I don't know if he is in preparation for a
8:56
Speaker 1: new FED and how they may massage this through the
8:59
Speaker 1: begin next year. Remember this is orchestrated economic planning, and
9:05
Speaker 1: it happens months and months in Remember the amount of
9:09
Speaker 1: confirmation that it's going to take to get a new
9:12
Speaker 1: FED chair in May will take some time. So there's
9:15
Speaker 1: always going to be that little bit of a window
9:17
Speaker 1: there where we don't really have a confirm confirmed FED chair.
9:23
Speaker 1: So that in itself could get back into the issue
9:26
Speaker 1: of this, and that is around rates and where there
9:28
Speaker 1: will be because remember that is voted on by all
9:31
Speaker 1: the governors. The other thing that doesn't look good right now,
9:34
Speaker 1: as student loan barers are in default, this is where
9:37
Speaker 1: they can see their wages garnish. This I hate because
9:40
Speaker 1: when you have the government now going in taking your
9:43
Speaker 1: money right out of your wages, that is a big,
9:46
Speaker 1: big problem. Typically that's only done on irs, seizures and
9:49
Speaker 1: things of that nature. This is a big one. I
9:51
Speaker 1: think that may backfire on the administration in a big way.
9:55
Speaker 1: Other things that are happening though in the market that
9:58
Speaker 1: could be an indicator that we've got some movement is
10:00
Speaker 1: gold spot prices right now surging about forty five hundred
10:04
Speaker 1: first time in history. Gold is now thirty one trillion
10:07
Speaker 1: dollar asset. This is seven times larger than in Nvidia.
10:11
Speaker 1: And you guys know that silver surpassed Apple just the
10:14
Speaker 1: other day as the third largest asset class. And when
10:16
Speaker 1: you look at silver, it extended its gains to a
10:19
Speaker 1: record seventy two bucks and outs. This is officially now
10:23
Speaker 1: the third most valuable asset in the world. I'm telling
10:26
Speaker 1: you we are in a phase right now where tokenization
10:29
Speaker 1: of these kinds of assets and other things like this
10:33
Speaker 1: are going to be a key investment catalyst going into
10:37
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. So anticipate that we are going to
10:40
Speaker 1: see some more movement on this. This was a nice
10:43
Speaker 1: statement here by Adam Kobiesi said, the fact that the
10:46
Speaker 1: chart is the fourth largest asset in the world both
10:49
Speaker 1: incredible and terrifying at the same time. And what he's
10:52
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that we see these kind of
10:54
Speaker 1: green candles most of time. You only see those in
10:56
Speaker 1: meme stocks, right. Somebody said that this morning on CNBC
11:00
Speaker 1: they were saying that gold has become a meme. And
11:02
Speaker 1: you had Samson who comes on, Paul Sampson comes on
11:05
Speaker 1: from Data Dash here at our show. Paraboloic charts are
11:07
Speaker 1: only terrifyed when demand is Imaginary's going after the issue
11:10
Speaker 1: of silver, which is physical, and this is all around materials.
11:14
Speaker 1: And now maybe the window has finally been opened on
11:18
Speaker 1: silver in terms of a shortage in supply available because
11:23
Speaker 1: it has been kind of rounded up into these coins
11:26
Speaker 1: and minted into all sorts of tools that you can
11:29
Speaker 1: take physical delivery on. And finally we're at a state
11:32
Speaker 1: where you've got all these companies and countries that are
11:35
Speaker 1: trying to acquire silver just for manufacturing, which is the
11:38
Speaker 1: real raw need and benefit of silver in general. So
11:41
Speaker 1: that may end up seeing one hundred dollars silver, like
11:44
Speaker 1: many of our analysts have said, So be on the
11:46
Speaker 1: lookout for that one here, of course, is versaon over
11:49
Speaker 1: at black Swan Capitalists. He simply says, the Clarity Act
11:52
Speaker 1: will separate securities from utility. I totally agree. When that happens,
11:56
Speaker 1: Marco will be forced to reprice overnight. Speculative is die.
12:00
Speaker 1: Real utility gets capital. There's a handful of tokens that
12:04
Speaker 1: will get access to that. One of those is going
12:06
Speaker 1: to be XRPS. Still belief that's going to be kind
12:09
Speaker 1: of treated that way as far as a true security
12:13
Speaker 1: from utility. And I think in the sense that we
12:16
Speaker 1: are going to see a restructure of how digital assets
12:19
Speaker 1: are looked at once Clarity comes through. This is the
12:22
Speaker 1: biggest thing that will happen in twenty twenty six. Let
12:26
Speaker 1: me go over to another big thing happening around stable
12:30
Speaker 1: coins and prediction markets.
12:32
Speaker 5: Take a look the world of crypto. If you could
12:34
Speaker 5: only do one thing, you'd invest in which part of it?
12:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, So stable coins I think is here to stay.
12:38
Speaker 3: I think it's going to grow tenfold. I think prediction
12:40
Speaker 3: markets here to stay. I think they're going to grow tenfold.
12:42
Speaker 3: You know, when you look at how you get exposure
12:43
Speaker 3: of that in the public markets, it's either called it,
12:45
Speaker 3: you know, the base layers, the ethereum is the bitcoins,
12:47
Speaker 3: or it's circle or something.
12:48
Speaker 5: And so the question is whether you think that there
12:50
Speaker 5: is a sort of mass market where everybody's going to
12:53
Speaker 5: be betting as much as the sports books or more so,
12:56
Speaker 5: what does that What does the tam of that market
12:59
Speaker 5: look like? Total addressable mark?
13:00
Speaker 3: So I think it's humong us, right, So if you.
13:02
Speaker 5: Look you among us meaning more than sports.
13:04
Speaker 3: I think it's more than sports ups you do, right,
13:06
Speaker 3: So if you look at poly market volume today, they've
13:08
Speaker 3: gone from fifty million a month of in early twenty four,
13:11
Speaker 3: they're now doing them to do probably about four billion
13:13
Speaker 3: a volume this month, right, Only about thirty five percent
13:16
Speaker 3: of that as sports cal shei's a little bit different.
13:17
Speaker 3: It's more of a sports platform. So they're infrastructure for Robinhood,
13:20
Speaker 3: but for poly market, it's about forty thirty five to
13:22
Speaker 3: forty percent. Okay, if you talk to Jeff Sprucker over
13:25
Speaker 3: at ICE, right, he'll tell you he believes in the
13:27
Speaker 3: tokenization of all markets, like he believes that is the future.
13:31
Speaker 3: And I can tell you that his perspective is that
13:33
Speaker 3: this is going to be as big as ICE itself.
13:36
Speaker 1: When you think of tokenized assets and also tokenization, ETH
13:39
Speaker 1: is the pathway and if you look at this, ETH
13:42
Speaker 1: accumulation is accelera in both on tom Ley, these are
13:44
Speaker 1: the dats that are out there, but are the whales
13:46
Speaker 1: out there buying? So is something big brewing? I don't know,
13:49
Speaker 1: George is on something. There may be other things that
13:52
Speaker 1: are happening within ETH is the Glamsterdam upgrade. What this
13:55
Speaker 1: simply is, if you're brand new to our show and
13:57
Speaker 1: you don't know what up an ETH upgrade is. We
13:59
Speaker 1: just win through two major upgrades with Ethereum. Each time
14:03
Speaker 1: we've had a pretty significant advancement in the technology and
14:06
Speaker 1: its capability. This is the next one that is happening.
14:09
Speaker 1: It's planned to be out in twenty twenty six, and
14:12
Speaker 1: it seems to come across as another potential major network upgrade.
14:17
Speaker 1: They're talking about that twenty twenty six could finalize the scope.
14:21
Speaker 1: Key pillars are still kind of in working position right now,
14:26
Speaker 1: but I anticipate that we're going to see a lot
14:28
Speaker 1: of new innovations around Ethereum, probably to accommodate a lot
14:32
Speaker 1: of what we're going to see in RWA's and token
14:35
Speaker 1: is securities coming forward, so be on the lookout for that.
14:37
Speaker 1: I think privatize our private chain attributes will also be
14:41
Speaker 1: there as well. Money market fund monitor right now showing
14:45
Speaker 1: just how much money is setting in as we continue
14:48
Speaker 1: to drive money into parked capital. This is one of
14:52
Speaker 1: the big areas outside of locked capital that are exposed to.
14:58
Speaker 1: If we see lower fed fund rates, we don't have
15:01
Speaker 1: money coming in on any kind of yield, an investor
15:06
Speaker 1: is going to be looking for other app opportunities, other
15:08
Speaker 1: avenues out there. So this could be one of the
15:10
Speaker 1: signals that we start to see moving into risk assets
15:14
Speaker 1: going into twenty twenty six. Another catalyst you got to
15:17
Speaker 1: look at is this one right here. This is of
15:19
Speaker 1: course tokenized gold. It's now issued on Ether, which we've
15:23
Speaker 1: had for some time. While gold has hit its all
15:25
Speaker 1: time high. And remember, as we see a lot more
15:28
Speaker 1: of real world assets moving on chain like gold, I
15:31
Speaker 1: think this is going to come with a lot of
15:32
Speaker 1: major assets in the market that's going to create a
15:35
Speaker 1: lot of digital liquidity, and gold is just the beginning.
15:38
Speaker 1: It's a thirty trillion dollars asset. Now I don't know
15:41
Speaker 1: that bitcoin kid catch it at the current rate that
15:44
Speaker 1: it is growing, right now, and all of that is
15:47
Speaker 1: still pointing to one of the biggest narratives for twenty
15:50
Speaker 1: twenty six, which will be tokenized treasury securities and of
15:53
Speaker 1: course real world assets like this tokenized commodities. Right there,
15:56
Speaker 1: you can kind of see the explosion. And I think, guys,
16:00
Speaker 1: this is just getting started. If this takes off the
16:03
Speaker 1: catalysts going into because we're only talking about three billion
16:07
Speaker 1: right now in total market cap, the potential here is astronomical.
16:12
Speaker 1: So be on the lookout these kinds of catalysts that
16:15
Speaker 1: we have to watch as we go into twenty twenty six.
16:18
Speaker 1: Of course, Clarity is going to still be the bell
16:21
Speaker 1: weather of everything, because that is the trigger moment when
16:24
Speaker 1: all of this starts to cascade going forward. Here, of course,
16:28
Speaker 1: is a prediction from bitwise where they simply said cryptoequities
16:31
Speaker 1: equities will all perform tech equities, and if you look
16:34
Speaker 1: at the slowdown in the tech market, we've seen a
16:36
Speaker 1: little bit of that final clips coming in from stocks
16:40
Speaker 1: like Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, a handful outside of maybe Robinhood,
16:45
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't necessarily definitely call them a tech company.
16:47
Speaker 1: They are more of you know, I would say more
16:49
Speaker 1: in the banking sector, but the fact that we're going
16:51
Speaker 1: to see that slowing down and that we could see
16:53
Speaker 1: crypto equities become a bigger play. Watch out for some
16:56
Speaker 1: IPOs coming up next up not very far. Tech stocks
17:00
Speaker 1: will have done well one hundred and forty up on
17:01
Speaker 1: the thirty year are the three year, but crypto equities
17:04
Speaker 1: are going to be doing even better. And they're looking
17:07
Speaker 1: at this Crypto Innovator's thirty index. So watch what the
17:10
Speaker 1: guys over at bit wise you're talking about there. I
17:12
Speaker 1: think Matt and his team are going to be looking good.
17:15
Speaker 1: Other things that play into this is the gaming sector
17:18
Speaker 1: and GTA six, of course postponed again likelihood right now
17:22
Speaker 1: that this is going to happen. We most likely will
17:25
Speaker 1: see some sort of tokenization inside of GTA six, and
17:29
Speaker 1: when that occurs, this will be a domino effect in
17:32
Speaker 1: the industry. What I mean by that is it's simply
17:35
Speaker 1: going n it's not Web three. I'm talking about gaming
17:37
Speaker 1: in general. This will be a domino effect in the
17:39
Speaker 1: industry where we'll see starts of starting a use case
17:43
Speaker 1: a baseline of how tokenization is going to be used
17:46
Speaker 1: in a lot of these games going forward. One other
17:48
Speaker 1: clip I wanted to get to. Was Scaramucci and Novogratz
17:52
Speaker 1: talking about twenty twenty six. Take a look.
17:55
Speaker 6: If you had asked me, I would have said twenty
17:57
Speaker 6: twenty five, he's going to be a great year for bitcoin.
18:01
Speaker 6: The shackles are off, the regulatory environment's going to improve,
18:05
Speaker 6: and we're going to the moon. We're gonna end a
18:08
Speaker 6: year at one point fifty. We couldn't hear it about
18:10
Speaker 6: eighty eight thousand as we're speaking, So I totally got
18:13
Speaker 6: that wrong. And now this sentiment is decidedly negative.
18:17
Speaker 2: Mic, Yeah, so what do we have going for us?
18:20
Speaker 2: The sentiment really does stink. I think there's still more
18:25
Speaker 2: healing to do. I'm not worried that we've seen the
18:28
Speaker 2: all time high ind bitcoin. I just am not there.
18:32
Speaker 2: There is a gigantic apparatus behind this, this asset, like
18:37
Speaker 2: Wall Street's a selling machine and we've we're just getting
18:39
Speaker 2: a lot of these big Ria platforms, you know, geared
18:44
Speaker 2: up to sell, and so I don't think that's going away.
18:48
Speaker 2: We also have an administration that owns a lot of bitcoin. Personally,
18:52
Speaker 2: they're connected to it. They bet they're they're their gig
18:55
Speaker 2: on it. There's no bear market in building crypto infrastructure,
18:59
Speaker 2: coming trade five in for crypto, how we get momentum
19:05
Speaker 2: back in crypto pricing has always been about narrative, and
19:08
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to see that pick back up and
19:13
Speaker 2: prices beget prices.
19:15
Speaker 1: I think the you know, I like what Novigrats is
19:19
Speaker 1: saying there, but I don't know that I agree with it.
19:22
Speaker 1: It's always been about well, it has been always about
19:25
Speaker 1: narrative in the past. I don't know that that's going
19:27
Speaker 1: to be what it is in the future. Narratives matter,
19:31
Speaker 1: But I think what he kind of alluded to was
19:33
Speaker 1: that trad Fi's trading cycle and how they approach a
19:37
Speaker 1: market is much different than anybody we've ever had in
19:40
Speaker 1: crypto before, because it's always been total total and look
19:44
Speaker 1: at the chart go up. But what we're going to
19:46
Speaker 1: probably see in the future is a lot of swing
19:49
Speaker 1: trade opportunities, a lot of in and outs in the market. Yes,
19:52
Speaker 1: capital gains are going to hit you, because it's going
19:55
Speaker 1: to be gains on shorter wins, but I think that's
19:58
Speaker 1: more of the twenty twenty six narrative. Now, granted, Clarity
20:01
Speaker 1: Act could change a lot of this because of the
20:03
Speaker 1: influence that we'll see in financial instruments going forward, a
20:06
Speaker 1: lot of new stuff that will hit the markets and
20:08
Speaker 1: it could drive narrative going forward, and that again is
20:13
Speaker 1: usually happens in the beginning of something big, just like AI,
20:16
Speaker 1: just like social media, and I think crypto and blockchain
20:19
Speaker 1: are kind of in the same boat early stage, yes,
20:22
Speaker 1: But right here you have it. The poll is in
20:24
Speaker 1: what's on your wish list for the biggest cryptocatasts, Clarity
20:27
Speaker 1: Act is by far the winner there right now on
20:29
Speaker 1: that pole, and I would agree with this one. It
20:32
Speaker 1: is number one for sure for your cycle. Dead interesting
20:37
Speaker 1: that it pulled out sixteen percent. That's a little bit
20:40
Speaker 1: more intriguing there. And of course the FED, I think
20:43
Speaker 1: that's a factor that may be a non starter because
20:46
Speaker 1: of all the issues that we're going to be facing
20:49
Speaker 1: with the new FED chair, with a struggling inflation. Jobs
20:53
Speaker 1: numbers we're going to know January twenty eighth on the
20:56
Speaker 1: next FED meeting, which we'll be airing that live. And
