- 0:35Speaker 2: even lux up and get into some of the better
- 0:38Speaker 2: yielding platforms that are out there. So check out EtherFi.

- 0:44Speaker 2: our link down below. It's going to get you set
- 0:46Speaker 2: up and you guys can get started where you can
- 0:48Speaker 2: get away from the banks. If you look at this
- 0:52Speaker 2: tweet right here, this, of course, is Kobe E.C. talking
- 0:54Speaker 2: about 86K. And that is where we are, guys. Right now,
- 0:57Speaker 2: we are moving in to 86K range for Bitcoin.
- 1:02Speaker 1: And imagine this.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Last week when we had Evan on, we were talking
- 1:06Speaker 2: about this very issue on Friday and the fact that
- 1:09Speaker 2: we could see a major pump over the weekend. A
- 1:12Speaker 2: lot of that began, and it happened on a lot
- 1:15Speaker 2: of tokens we'll talk about today, including Solana, AVAX, et cetera,
- 1:18Speaker 2: and get into a lot of those.
- 1:19Speaker 1: I want to go over to a clip real quick.
- 1:22Speaker 1: This is Ben Cowan talking about Bitcoin. Take a look.
- 1:25Speaker 3: I'm just here to say that I was wrong, right?
- 1:28Speaker 3: I mean, Bitcoin has accepted here. It rallied above the 50-week.
- 1:34Speaker 3: It has now extended that. My biggest regret is... You know,
- 1:39Speaker 3: my strategy this year was to start buying in July
- 1:43Speaker 3: below 0.3 risk, which happened, but it only happened for
- 1:47Speaker 3: about five days. So I guess that goes to show
- 1:51Speaker 3: you when the opportunities arise to take more advantage of them.
- 1:56Speaker 3: There are other people that were right, and I think
- 2:00Speaker 3: they probably deserve your viewership more right now than me.
- 2:04Speaker 4: All right.
- 2:05Speaker 2: So you've got Ben, of course, kind of getting into
- 2:06Speaker 2: the point of the four year cycle. He's pretty much
- 2:09Speaker 2: been the face of the four year cycle. That, of course,
- 2:11Speaker 2: is not necessarily the case right now, as we are
- 2:13Speaker 2: seeing Bitcoin move back in to its top 10 position
- 2:18Speaker 2: in terms of the largest asset market cap in the world, guys.
- 2:22Speaker 1: So take a look at it. Gold leading the way.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Bitcoin coming up.
- 2:26Speaker 2: And I'm sure Peter Schiff is not happy about this
- 2:29Speaker 2: for sure. Other things, though, that are happening, and that
- 2:32Speaker 2: is the ETF holders are starting to get out from
- 2:35Speaker 2: underneath the bank, and they are coming back in and
- 2:38Speaker 2: starting to realize what a coin can do when you
- 2:41Speaker 2: start to see a bull run start to take place,
- 2:43Speaker 2: and that's what we are witnessing right now. Now, the
- 2:46Speaker 2: real question is, do you guys think that this is
- 2:49Speaker 2: simply a fake pump, or do you actually believe that
- 2:52Speaker 2: we are moving into the next era of digital asset
- 2:55Speaker 2: bull run? Drop some comments down below. I'd love to
- 2:58Speaker 2: kind of get your input on this. If you look
- 3:00Speaker 2: at it right here, there's other things that are happening
- 3:02Speaker 2: as well that are matching, and it really kind of
- 3:05Speaker 2: boils down to where the runners are coming from. And
- 3:09Speaker 2: if you look at the top 25, you had Near,
- 3:10Speaker 2: you had AVAX, Uni, Zcash, Hype, all of which we've
- 3:15Speaker 2: talked about quite a bit here over the last few months.
- 3:17Speaker 2: And of course, outperforming significantly when it comes to the
- 3:21Speaker 2: big boys, and that being Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum. And
- 3:24Speaker 2: the real question, I think, guys, is are we going
- 3:26Speaker 2: to see a handful of others start to make their
- 3:28Speaker 2: way in? There's a handful of other projects out there
- 3:31Speaker 2: that I think actually could get some run. If you
- 3:33Speaker 2: look at the DeFi data right here, total value locked
- 3:37Speaker 2: in DeFi right now is absolutely skyrocketing. If you look
- 3:41Speaker 2: at where it was held in 2024, around 36 bill,
- 3:46Speaker 2: holding right now at 88, almost 90 bill. And we
- 3:49Speaker 2: have not even started yet. So you're not too late.
- 3:53Speaker 2: That's the beautiful thing. And I think we are going
- 3:55Speaker 2: to see some very interesting strategies that start to play
- 4:00Speaker 2: out in this post-clarity era.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Let's also take a look at just general liquid staking.
- 4:06Speaker 2: If you look at the TBL of where we've seen
- 4:08Speaker 2: this starting to grow, this tells you one thing, and
- 4:11Speaker 2: that is that we are starting to see a lot
- 4:13Speaker 2: of the staked assets starting to go back into the market,
- 4:16Speaker 2: which gives us a lot of impetus as to where
- 4:19Speaker 2: the market could be going from here. They believe, these investors,
- 4:23Speaker 2: that we are going to the next level. Let's jump
- 4:25Speaker 2: over this tweet right here. You've got Google and Apple
- 4:28Speaker 2: finally joining the crew, and that means they're hiring crypto experts.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Hopefully they don't screw this up.
- 4:34Speaker 2: But they're going to expand into stablecoins, tokenization, I imagine,
- 4:38Speaker 2: most likely blockchain payments. I'm curious, has this been a
- 4:41Speaker 2: pressure from the users, or is this something coming from
- 4:45Speaker 2: maybe a next generation of leaders coming into these companies?
- 4:48Speaker 2: If this is going to happen at Google and Apple,
- 4:50Speaker 2: then expect more fireworks from a lot more publicly traded
- 4:54Speaker 2: companies down the line. You also have Michael Saylor saying
- 4:58Speaker 2: Clarity Act rejection.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Was a positive inflection point.
- 5:02Speaker 2: He argues that the digital asset industry is better off
- 5:06Speaker 2: supporting rules from the SEC and the CFTC going forward.
- 5:10Speaker 2: So over the Clarity compromise, you can say what you
- 5:13Speaker 2: want about that, guys.
- 5:14Speaker 1: We'll go from there. Other points that I.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Want to hit at right here, Balshuna kind of hit
- 5:19Speaker 2: on it right here in terms of how the media
- 5:21Speaker 2: has been attacking crypto for a while. And the fact
- 5:24Speaker 2: is that 90% of the media just loves to pile on,
- 5:27Speaker 2: troll crypto whenever it can, especially when it's this administration
- 5:32Speaker 2: embracing it. And now you have both the CFTC and
- 5:35Speaker 2: the SEC starting to guide. And I think you also
- 5:38Speaker 2: have traditional investors that have finally said, hey, We're done
- 5:41Speaker 2: with trying to get this through Congress.
- 5:43Speaker 1: We're trying to figure out a way for the U.S.
- 5:45Speaker 1: to lead. In fact, we're going to have to go
- 5:47Speaker 1: a different route.
- 5:48Speaker 2: And they are moving on, just like we've seen in
- 5:50Speaker 2: other markets in the past, now starting to take place here.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Tom Lee comes in and, of course, Bitmine bought another
- 5:58Speaker 2: 75 mil in ETH. He says Q4 starts one of
- 6:02Speaker 2: the biggest market rallies of our lifetime. Now, Tom Lee
- 6:06Speaker 2: has been one of the permit bulls that has been
- 6:09Speaker 2: talking about this. Sometimes he might be wrong about the
- 6:12Speaker 2: exact time period, but his overall stretch has been toward
- 6:16Speaker 2: the end of this year.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Is he right? Is Tom Lee calling this bull run
- 6:21Speaker 1: right here?
- 6:21Speaker 2: Let's go to a clip real quick because this will
- 6:23Speaker 2: be going into exactly what he thinks the market is
- 6:26Speaker 2: going to do.
- 6:27Speaker 5: Despite all of this and pessimism, the S & P
- 6:30Speaker 5: is 2.6%.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Off of its all-time high. How can this be viewed?
- 6:37Speaker 1: How can this be viewed as anything other than incredibly bullish?
- 6:41Speaker 1: Am I an idiot?
- 6:41Speaker 4: Is the market bulletproof given all of those bullets that
- 6:44Speaker 4: have been fired at it?
- 6:45Speaker 5: Yeah, I think what people forget is people tend to
- 6:49Speaker 5: look at the stock market as, oh, it's up a
- 6:52Speaker 5: lot from five years ago and a lot of people
- 6:55Speaker 5: just bought it without thinking, but they're not thinking about
- 6:59Speaker 5: companies are using technology They adapted to all those black
- 7:03Speaker 5: swans and cut costs. And this year, earnings are up
- 7:08Speaker 5: 25% and the market's only up 10.
- 7:10Speaker 1: So the market got cheaper.
- 7:12Speaker 5: And I think that's the perspective is that we're trusting
- 7:15Speaker 5: our money with these CEOs that are proven that they're
- 7:18Speaker 5: blue chip because they're not just sitting and telling the
- 7:21Speaker 5: board everything's fine. They're like in crisis mode and cutting
- 7:24Speaker 5: costs all the time.
- 7:25Speaker 1: All right.
- 7:25Speaker 2: So as you see, Tom kind of defending the point
- 7:28Speaker 2: is that there is a much bigger opportunity at foot here.
- 7:31Speaker 2: And I think the key here is going to be
- 7:33Speaker 2: centered around Ethereum. Ethereum still could be one of the
- 7:36Speaker 2: major players, even though it is heading toward 3000. We
- 7:39Speaker 2: could see it coming maybe just in the next few weeks.
- 7:43Speaker 2: But here is John Gillen talking about where Ethereum stands today.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 7:47Speaker 4: I'll make a price prediction. This thing's going to hit $ 4, 000
- 7:49Speaker 4: for the end of the year, I think. I mean, look,
- 7:50Speaker 4: I mean, it looks fantastic. I think it could double quickly.
- 7:53Speaker 4: This tokenization exemption comes through. You know, we get a
- 7:57Speaker 4: little bit more Tom Lee getting to his 5% target.
- 8:00Speaker 4: I mean, it's the most hated asset in crypto and
- 8:02Speaker 4: it's very reflexive because Ethereum's narrative is terrible when it's
- 8:05Speaker 4: going down. Because it has no value accrue. It's not
- 8:09Speaker 4: like Bitcoin. It's not a store of value asset. It
- 8:12Speaker 4: doesn't really compete against Solana. But when it's going up,
- 8:15Speaker 4: it's like, well, duh, the world needs a permissionless, decentralized,
- 8:19Speaker 4: credibly neutral base layer for the future of finance. It's
- 8:22Speaker 4: always been Ethereum.
- 8:23Speaker 1: What the hell? What were we thinking?
- 8:26Speaker 6: I think we're just now getting to the then they
- 8:28Speaker 6: fight you phase of Ethereum's adoption and growth. Eventually, institutional
- 8:32Speaker 6: capital will, with size and conviction, rotate towards Ethereum. But
- 8:37Speaker 6: I think for right now, the opportunity is for retail,
- 8:40Speaker 6: for self-directed investors to position themselves to be ahead of
- 8:43Speaker 6: that and to ride the next five, 10 years of
- 8:46Speaker 6: growth of Ethereum, of digital assets and of ETH. So
- 8:48Speaker 6: I don't know. It's not so much that I'm like
- 8:51Speaker 6: an ETH maxi or telling everybody to full port ETH
- 8:53Speaker 6: by any means. But that's the general way I think
- 8:55Speaker 6: about this. And that's who I would hope the next
- 8:57Speaker 6: marginal buyer would be, would be just self-directed investors who
- 9:00Speaker 6: understand how important they and their capital are. and to
- 9:04Speaker 6: treat it with the respect of investing with it rather
- 9:06Speaker 6: than speculating with it.
- 9:08Speaker 2: All right, so guys, think about this, and that is
- 9:10Speaker 2: the rotation that could be occurring. And we look at
- 9:14Speaker 2: these times in the market, and in many cases, there's
- 9:18Speaker 2: very small windows in which these flips occur. If you
- 9:21Speaker 2: look at this chart right here, this is an asset
- 9:23Speaker 2: performance chart starting in June of this year, and it's
- 9:28Speaker 2: running through right now, 9-18 in September. You can see
- 9:31Speaker 2: Ethereum leading the way, number one, right now setting at
- 9:34Speaker 2: 65% in terms of growth. Solana right behind it, Bitcoin.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I'll kind of zoom in on these. And then you
- 9:40Speaker 2: start to get into traditional stocks and a handful of others,
- 9:44Speaker 2: including silver, the Magnificent Seven, some healthcare, et cetera, all
- 9:49Speaker 2: on the positive side and even into the negatives of
- 9:52Speaker 2: what we are starting. So is that rotation beginning to
- 9:55Speaker 2: show up here? And are we in that right place?
- 9:58Speaker 2: So if you guys are investing out there today and
- 10:01Speaker 2: you're thinking, okay, I'm going to go into Bitcoin, Solana, ETH, XRP,
- 10:06Speaker 2: which ones do you think are going to be the
- 10:09Speaker 2: bigger performers by end of year? I'm just kind of
- 10:11Speaker 2: curious what the audience thinks. Drop some comments down below
- 10:16Speaker 2: and I'll talk about it when we get those in.
- 10:19Speaker 2: All right, let's go over here because Solana just unlocked
- 10:22Speaker 2: a lot. And that is in terms of just the
- 10:24Speaker 2: amount of headlines it has been cracking over the past
- 10:28Speaker 2: few weeks. You have Nectar Finance jumping in. Obviously, you
- 10:32Speaker 2: had Column coming in. This is a new FDI insured
- 10:35Speaker 2: bank behind Brex. It's crazy the amount of launches that occurred.
- 10:40Speaker 2: And when you look at where Solana has been, and
- 10:43Speaker 2: I wonder, when you think about the acceleration of traders...
- 10:49Speaker 2: You look at where Solana is right now, trading close
- 10:51Speaker 2: to 120. And the possibility of where it competes with Ethereum,
- 10:56Speaker 2: I think that's the next big move here going forward.
- 10:59Speaker 2: So the question is, is which one is going to
- 11:01Speaker 2: move more?
- 11:02Speaker 1: ETH, Solana, Bitcoin?
- 11:04Speaker 2: One thing to also, if you want to kind of
- 11:06Speaker 2: compare and see, okay, well, if Solana is actually going
- 11:09Speaker 2: to win this race in terms of the next generation,
- 11:13Speaker 2: of traders look no further than stocks. That's a good
- 11:16Speaker 2: example right here. And this may be the indicator that
- 11:20Speaker 2: could elevate this above Robinhood chain. And we put out
- 11:23Speaker 2: a couple of videos that it has been. I believe
- 11:26Speaker 2: it is going to come down to Solana and Robinhood
- 11:29Speaker 2: in terms of trying to win this. And it may
- 11:31Speaker 2: be a battle that has already been won by Solana
- 11:34Speaker 2: going forward. But let's not leave out what's happening with
- 11:37Speaker 2: Avalanche if you did not watch it over the weekend.
- 11:39Speaker 2: And it was one we talked about on Friday that
- 11:41Speaker 2: I said This may be one to keep a very
- 11:44Speaker 2: close eye. And in fact, we saw Avalanche jump dramatically.
- 11:48Speaker 2: But you've got Helicon, which is scheduled to activate on
- 11:51Speaker 2: May 9th, September 22nd, just around the corner.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Another major move for the AVAX network.
- 11:58Speaker 2: And I think these are the kind of things, guys,
- 12:00Speaker 2: that you need to keep very close eye on because
- 12:02Speaker 2: right now it's very early. Circle is another one that
- 12:05Speaker 2: might not be getting its flowers. Circle right now, Mint,
- 12:08Speaker 2: now lets eligible institutions to borrow USDC against Bitcoin through
- 12:14Speaker 2: Morpho or on ARK and or on Ethereum. And then
- 12:20Speaker 2: you don't have to sell your Bitcoin. So imagine this
- 12:22Speaker 2: right now, institutions be able to move in and actually
- 12:25Speaker 2: do this through ARK and what Circle is doing. This
- 12:28Speaker 2: is a big leap because Circle, a publicly traded company,
- 12:32Speaker 2: Circle very integrated into what's happening within the Coinbase ecosystem,
- 12:37Speaker 2: hence Morpho, and the opportunity here for launching of a
- 12:41Speaker 2: new chain and giving a gateway for institutional capital to
- 12:45Speaker 2: go out there and execute on it.
- 12:46Speaker 1: So some big things. If you look at.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Circle as a stock, holding it around 94, this bottom
- 12:52Speaker 2: was setting at 59.
- 12:53Speaker 1: That's right there.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Remember, all-time high for Circle, setting at $ 300, guys. So
- 12:59Speaker 2: if you look at this going up, and if you
- 13:01Speaker 2: kind of consider market cap setting.
- 13:03Speaker 1: At $ 23.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Billion right now, that could be in a position right
- 13:07Speaker 2: there where a 3X could be in order.
- 13:09Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that is going to happen. I'm
- 13:10Speaker 1: just saying.
- 13:11Speaker 2: We are dealing with new times and Circle may be
- 13:15Speaker 2: one of the key companies that help usher this in.
- 13:18Speaker 2: So we're going to be covering this and a lot
- 13:19Speaker 2: more this week because it's going to be a barn
- 13:22Speaker 2: burner this week.
