- 0:06Speaker 1: Let's get started today. But I do want to thank
- 0:08Speaker 1: our sponsor and that is I Trust Capital. This is
- 0:10Speaker 1: a place where you can start your new twenty twenty
- 0:12Speaker 1: five season for building your own CRYPTOIRA. And this is
- 0:17Speaker 1: a great thing to do. If you have a you know,
- 0:19Speaker 1: a goal for twenty twenty five, maybe this is one
- 0:22Speaker 1: of them.
- 0:22Speaker 2: And I guess what.
- 0:22Speaker 1: You can get into a ton of all coins over
- 0:25Speaker 1: on the I trust Capital platform. Very easy to join
- 0:28Speaker 1: and super super simple, very low cost as well.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Make sure and check it out.
- 0:33Speaker 1: It's going to be one hundred dollars funding reward. If
- 0:35Speaker 1: you guys decide to go that route, use our link
- 0:37Speaker 1: down below to get yourself started in building a crypto IRA.
- 0:41Speaker 1: All right, let's go over to a couple of things
- 0:42Speaker 1: I want to hit on. Bitcoin price is regaining its
- 0:46Speaker 1: ground after a little bit of the tax harvesting sell offs,
- 0:49Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people were in a
- 0:51Speaker 1: position where they were taking a little bit of tax
- 0:53Speaker 1: positioning positions at the end of the year right there.
- 0:57Speaker 1: And then of course we did see bitcoins start to
- 0:59Speaker 1: add edge back up to around ninety six, so some
- 1:02Speaker 1: nice little moves overall. If you look at some of
- 1:04Speaker 1: the items they highl liked in the article, Many of
- 1:07Speaker 1: liquidated both bitcoin ETFs and the underlying asset to optimize
- 1:11Speaker 1: their tax reports.
- 1:12Speaker 2: These are pretty.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Simple and pretty common in the finance markets, so I
- 1:17Speaker 1: think a lot of people were expecting that nothing super
- 1:20Speaker 1: new on any of that. One other thing they did
- 1:23Speaker 1: talk about. One of the analysts, they did expect liquidity
- 1:26Speaker 1: in terms of a re entry that has started to happen,
- 1:28Speaker 1: because we've already seen the all coin market regain one trillion,
- 1:33Speaker 1: so we've already seen that move coming in. And these
- 1:36Speaker 1: analysts also expect the recent inauguration of President Trump is
- 1:40Speaker 1: likely to bring a lot more pro business and renewed optimism.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious, guys, do you think this run
- 1:48Speaker 1: up to January twentieth, do we get a pre pump,
- 1:51Speaker 1: is my question? Or do you feel like the pump
- 1:55Speaker 1: that we're most likely to see in that euphoria stage
- 1:58Speaker 1: really start to happen after January twenty Drop some comments
- 2:01Speaker 1: down below. I'd love to kind of get your your
- 2:02Speaker 1: thoughts on where you think this going. Listen, we were
- 2:05Speaker 1: kind of lambasted at the end of last year by
- 2:08Speaker 1: the IRS and the RS, says Hey, we're gonna put
- 2:12Speaker 1: all these restrictions on crypto in a new way, and
- 2:14Speaker 1: they came out almost last minute. They have now retraced
- 2:18Speaker 1: that and come backed in and said we're going to
- 2:20Speaker 1: delay this implementing crypto cost basis reporting rules, which is
- 2:24Speaker 1: going to be based on a per wallet basis. So
- 2:26Speaker 1: anticipate that in either twenty six or seven. Again, I
- 2:29Speaker 1: don't know if that if we're going to get a
- 2:31Speaker 1: lot of that, because I anticipate we're going to see
- 2:33Speaker 1: a lot of pressure from this administration on the IRS.
- 2:35Speaker 2: If Tax Fairer has.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Not identified preferred accounting method first in first out five FO,
- 2:40Speaker 1: many people know that it'll be applied treating the earliest
- 2:43Speaker 1: acquired assets as sold first. So this is a mandate
- 2:47Speaker 1: that was set to go in effect just this week,
- 2:50Speaker 1: but now it's all been postponed.
- 2:52Speaker 2: So twenty twenty five, a bull year, will be a
- 2:56Speaker 2: little bit.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Easier on taxes, So that's good tax expert. Also, they
- 3:00Speaker 1: were talking about almost all centralized finance brokers were not
- 3:03Speaker 1: prepared for something like that, so they were going to
- 3:06Speaker 1: have to deal with a whole slew of development changes
- 3:09Speaker 1: and policy changes. In fact, most likely a lot of
- 3:12Speaker 1: customers starting to try to figure out what was going on,
- 3:15Speaker 1: so that of course all changed.
- 3:17Speaker 2: And right now this is the biggest one.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Right here, you'd be unintentionally selling the earliest purchase asset,
- 3:23Speaker 1: which tends to have the lowest cost bases, while unknowingly
- 3:27Speaker 1: maximizing your capital gains. These are some of the pitfalls
- 3:30Speaker 1: that were really being drawn out. I think that's why
- 3:32Speaker 1: they RS kind of said, Okay, we've clearly screwed this up.
- 3:35Speaker 2: We're not going to do it.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Let's ship over to another article, and this course is
- 3:38Speaker 1: bitcoin futures funding rate, suggesting a twenty twenty five start
- 3:42Speaker 1: with a little bit of cautious optimism. I'm kind of
- 3:46Speaker 1: in that same boat. There's a couple of points they
- 3:49Speaker 1: make no significant increase in the bitcoin perpetual futures funding rate. Also,
- 3:53Speaker 1: they think that the stability indicates that there is some
- 3:56Speaker 1: optimism and that traders are kind of just, you know,
- 3:59Speaker 1: exercise a little bit of caution ahead of some of
- 4:01Speaker 1: the big events. Part of it we're going to see
- 4:03Speaker 1: is inauguration. I think other things we'll see is the
- 4:06Speaker 1: continuation of the FED, how the scenario plays out with inflation,
- 4:11Speaker 1: especially in Q one, the jobs, numbers coming in, and
- 4:14Speaker 1: even other things that I think will play into this
- 4:16Speaker 1: is how DOZE is looked at. And when I say
- 4:19Speaker 1: DOZE and I mean dose coin, I mean the Department
- 4:21Speaker 1: of Government efficiency. What I'm talking about there is we
- 4:25Speaker 1: could see a new way how the market responds to
- 4:29Speaker 1: what Elon and Viveik might be doing under the dose,
- 4:33Speaker 1: whether it's good, bad, or even indifferent. If they don't
- 4:36Speaker 1: do anything, that could be another signal for market moves.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Coming in twenty twenty five will be the best crypto
- 4:43Speaker 1: year ever. This is coming in from Steno Research. A
- 4:45Speaker 1: couple of points they make there bitcoin EA spot prices
- 4:50Speaker 1: surpassing one hundred and fifty and eight thousand, respectively for
- 4:53Speaker 1: both bitcoin and eth.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Those are pretty significant. We have heard numbers.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Above even the two hundre one thousand marks, just because
- 5:01Speaker 1: what we've seen with mostly the Asian market, especially China,
- 5:04Speaker 1: with a lot of liquidity coming into the market on
- 5:06Speaker 1: digital assets most likely going to be the case. And
- 5:08Speaker 1: don't forget a lot of things happening in Japan as
- 5:11Speaker 1: well under SBI and what they're doing around the market
- 5:15Speaker 1: when it comes to XRP. So there's a lot of
- 5:17Speaker 1: global pressure here as well. Then if you look at
- 5:21Speaker 1: the ETFs, I mean, let's go, man, here we are
- 5:24Speaker 1: October that was when we started seeing the movement on ethereum,
- 5:28Speaker 1: and this could just be the beginning of where ethtfs
- 5:31Speaker 1: start to move. Ether is poised to perform especially well
- 5:35Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, and most people think it's going
- 5:38Speaker 1: to outperform Bitcoin.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Me too.
- 5:40Speaker 1: I believe that will be the case for sure. Last
- 5:43Speaker 1: up is the administration. New administration, much more robust, I
- 5:47Speaker 1: think in terms of on chain activity, most likely Ethan Salona.
- 5:51Speaker 1: I think both will benefit significantly from all of this,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and I think these are the factors that we're going
- 5:57Speaker 1: to start to see bolster the all coin market up
- 6:01Speaker 1: to maybe a two trillion dollar market cap much faster
- 6:05Speaker 1: than many people think. If you look at the all
- 6:07Speaker 1: Coin Season Index, we have been retraced and reset back
- 6:11Speaker 1: into somewhat a middle of the road. I want you
- 6:15Speaker 1: to kind of compare if you look at pricing back
- 6:17Speaker 1: the time when it starts to get in those ranges.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Look at that right there.
- 6:21Speaker 1: So the opportunity here of seeing that kind of growth
- 6:24Speaker 1: again for all coin season is real, and we're already
- 6:27Speaker 1: setting at a one trillion dollar market cap, and if
- 6:30Speaker 1: you look at the total three this is a good
- 6:32Speaker 1: example right here, this was twenty twenty one.
- 6:34Speaker 2: This is the monthly chart. That's twenty twenty one.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Right there, we're already clipping above the one trillion dollar mark.
- 6:41Speaker 1: And I think this is just the beginning. So this
- 6:43Speaker 1: is what we are watching right now. A lot of
- 6:46Speaker 1: tokens absolutely performing crazy today, many of them. What was
- 6:52Speaker 1: the big one I think was it was it Prime
- 6:53Speaker 1: that I think was hitting like twenty.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Four Yeah, here we go.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Oh even in cosh was over a twenty percent, but
- 6:58Speaker 1: almost everything, and there's Prime Prime also Prime at twenty
- 7:02Speaker 1: percent up today. A lot of tokens active, and of
- 7:05Speaker 1: course even render up almost seven percent on the day
- 7:08Speaker 1: right here, as it starts to recover on the monthly.
- 7:10Speaker 1: All of that very good signs for all coins in general.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Franklin Templeton's crypto predictions, let's.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Take a look at those.
- 7:18Speaker 1: This is their crypto predictions for twenty twenty five. A
- 7:21Speaker 1: couple that I want to highlight. One is the global
- 7:26Speaker 1: cryptop us. This is aligning legal and economic policies. Basically,
- 7:30Speaker 1: we're going to get companies and developers aligned. Finally, with
- 7:35Speaker 1: our regulation. That's a big deal intersection of traditional and
- 7:38Speaker 1: traditional finance and crypto. I think that starts to cross
- 7:41Speaker 1: over big deal there. If we get that, we will
- 7:44Speaker 1: see a pump in this market like nothing we've ever
- 7:47Speaker 1: seen before. Stable coins also expected to remain very pivotal.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I think this is going to be maybe the unsung
- 7:53Speaker 1: hero of twenty twenty five. So watch out for those
- 7:56Speaker 1: including usdc RL, USD. All of that going to be
- 8:00Speaker 1: taking place in twenty twenty five. Additional bitcoin strategic preserves
- 8:03Speaker 1: that can still happen around not only in the United States,
- 8:06Speaker 1: but many other nations and central banks that could be
- 8:08Speaker 1: going this direction. And then also you have to look
- 8:11Speaker 1: at deepen deepend decentralized physical infrastructure networks.
- 8:15Speaker 2: We've talked about this before.
- 8:16Speaker 1: I think we're going to see a lot of projects
- 8:18Speaker 1: coming at the market that are much more utility based
- 8:22Speaker 1: that people understand that we'll really start to hit off
- 8:25Speaker 1: in twenty five. Agents AI agents expect to be increased
- 8:30Speaker 1: quite a bit on utilization of the blockchain, and I
- 8:32Speaker 1: think this is just a matter of time before we
- 8:34Speaker 1: start to see this integration.
- 8:35Speaker 2: You know a lot of different.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Meme coins, all coins, gaming projects, so many different crypto
- 8:40Speaker 1: projects out there that will benefit from all of that.
- 8:43Speaker 1: If you look at virtuals, this is I think the
- 8:47Speaker 1: leading AI agent platform out there and it's just getting started.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Look at this over just the last one month. This
- 8:54Speaker 1: thing was trading and rind around what a buck fifty
- 8:57Speaker 1: on the beginning of December and it's waiting at four
- 9:00Speaker 1: point fifty right now. That is the current trading. And
- 9:04Speaker 1: if you go to the market caps, same kind of
- 9:06Speaker 1: scenari at one point seven billion holding it all clipped
- 9:09Speaker 1: over a five billion market cap right there. So again,
- 9:11Speaker 1: this is another market that I think is going to
- 9:13Speaker 1: be huge in twenty twenty five. So just keep a
- 9:16Speaker 1: close eye on what's happening with virtuals other things out there.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Of course, Mika is officially here. This is the thing
- 9:22Speaker 1: that's going to start, what's happening within the European markets,
- 9:27Speaker 1: and I think they are things that you have to
- 9:28Speaker 1: kind of consider. I'll show you something here and zoom
- 9:31Speaker 1: in on this, because the asset categories are the ones
- 9:34Speaker 1: that you're going to need to pay attention to. Utility tokens,
- 9:38Speaker 1: how that's going to be done, how the issue requirements
- 9:41Speaker 1: are going to be set up, asset reference tokens.
- 9:43Speaker 2: These are called arts. Now, these are also.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Requirements, and remember that traditional finance is looking for these
- 9:51Speaker 1: kind of regulatory alignments, and that's what Mika has been
- 9:54Speaker 1: able to do in the EU is basically give all
- 9:56Speaker 1: of the companies, all the developers, all the projects, basically
- 10:00Speaker 1: a roadmap, you know, to get going to where some
- 10:04Speaker 1: of this stuff can be utilized in Europe, which means
- 10:07Speaker 1: they'll be legal to get into some of these exchanges.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Other things that are happening out there is they we're
- 10:12Speaker 1: going to see some rewards on guess what stable coins
- 10:15Speaker 1: and r l USD is available now on uphold at
- 10:19Speaker 1: five percent and that's starting right like right now, you
- 10:22Speaker 1: can go in there, place an rl USD, hold stable
- 10:25Speaker 1: coins on XRP and get a five percent yield. So
- 10:30Speaker 1: crazy times for sure. If you look at the XRP chart,
- 10:34Speaker 1: this is the monthly or no, this is the weekly chart,
- 10:37Speaker 1: and you can kind of see the movement right here
- 10:39Speaker 1: that has started to come off over this last week.
- 10:42Speaker 1: XRP again never closing below that one ninety eight line,
- 10:48Speaker 1: which is where we were talking about not too long ago,
- 10:51Speaker 1: and this was the point that we felt would be
- 10:54Speaker 1: the tell as to whether or not XRP could hold.
- 10:58Speaker 1: This is gonna be a big one as well. We're
- 10:59Speaker 1: going to continue to watch XRP. Neg Garassi. He it's
- 11:02Speaker 1: on a couple of points here that some of which
- 11:05Speaker 1: I agree with, and I'll tell you the ones I do,
- 11:07Speaker 1: some of which I don't. One, of course, combined Spot
- 11:10Speaker 1: and bitcoin in ETFs. We'll get that launch its obvious
- 11:13Speaker 1: Spot e t E et F options trading a Spot
- 11:16Speaker 1: bitcoin in ether e t F in kind redemption.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I think that will happen.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I think also we'll get some eth staking that's going
- 11:23Speaker 1: to be huge for ethereum in general. And then a
- 11:26Speaker 1: Spot solana ETF will get approved. I think it's going
- 11:30Speaker 1: to be XRP that will be, and maybe even others.
- 11:33Speaker 1: But I think XRP might be the leader of the
- 11:36Speaker 1: Spot e t F that's coming in at least from
- 11:40Speaker 1: the next phase.
- 11:41Speaker 2: I don't know that we would call it an all coin,
- 11:42Speaker 2: but maybe you would.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Other things you got to look at is the bitcoin
- 11:46Speaker 1: ETF movement again right there, right after the first of
- 11:50Speaker 1: the year, what happens another major net inflow zoom in
- 11:53Speaker 1: on that. Look at that, that's crazy time when you
- 11:56Speaker 1: look at all the way through December and now here
- 11:59Speaker 1: we are in the first of January. It's surpassed all
- 12:02Speaker 1: of that just in that last bit. And the last
- 12:05Speaker 1: time we had these kind of inflows, I mean, remember
- 12:07Speaker 1: this was back in mid November we started really seeing
- 12:09Speaker 1: a lot of activity and bitcoin was cracking above one
- 12:12Speaker 1: hundred and five K. So big moves out there right
- 12:16Speaker 1: now on bitcoin ETFs. Also, the other thing you have
- 12:19Speaker 1: to consider is the history the cycle. Both on the
- 12:22Speaker 1: twenty twenty one cycle, the twenty seventeen cycle, this was
- 12:26Speaker 1: eth all underperforming and now it once in January hits bam.
- 12:31Speaker 1: That's where the performance really starts to take place. Just
- 12:33Speaker 1: to give an example of that, seventy eight percent and
- 12:36Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and that was in January right there,
- 12:39Speaker 1: February eight percent thirty four and forty four in April,
- 12:43Speaker 1: so a very very fast start in comparison to the
- 12:47Speaker 1: last two major bull cycles. So if you do believe
- 12:50Speaker 1: in you know these cycles, then these are the next
- 12:53Speaker 1: four months you want to be able to be tracking
- 12:56Speaker 1: all of this with us. If you're not subscribed to
- 12:58Speaker 1: the channel right now, make sure that it's a great
- 13:01Speaker 1: place to get just more content but also when we
- 13:03Speaker 1: go live, which we'll start doing more live stream for
- 13:06Speaker 1: you guys now because it is going to be getting
- 13:08Speaker 1: very heated up. This will give you notifications when you
- 13:11Speaker 1: hit that little bell and that way you'll catch that
- 13:15Speaker 1: other things out there is the long term holders is
- 13:19Speaker 1: starting to shift a little bit, and this is Bitcoin
- 13:23Speaker 1: versus ETH on long term holders.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Bitcoin is sliding down. Eth is starting to climb.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Up, and it looks as though we might have at
- 13:30Speaker 1: the end of December another clip up moving on the
- 13:34Speaker 1: ETH holders right there in that purple. So again, good
- 13:38Speaker 1: state for the future here for sure. Salana ETF approval
- 13:44Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, This is now getting up around
- 13:46Speaker 1: eighty five percent chance. This is a no brainer, guys.
- 13:49Speaker 1: It's just one of the ones that will happen that
- 13:51Speaker 1: will accelerate Solana's price. Who knows where Solana will go
- 13:55Speaker 1: with an ETF. It may have a very fast run.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I'm curious if it happens in the first say, two quarters,
- 14:04Speaker 1: how will respond post May, because many people, I think
- 14:08Speaker 1: we'll be looking at May as an opportunity for a
- 14:11Speaker 1: high Many people might be looking at all coin season
- 14:15Speaker 1: that may not extend into the next cycle. Or it
- 14:18Speaker 1: could do an exact reframe of what happened in twenty
- 14:21Speaker 1: twenty one, where you had another all time high and
- 14:23Speaker 1: many of those all coins peaking toward the end of
- 14:26Speaker 1: the year in twenty twenty one. One other thing on
- 14:29Speaker 1: Solana is fired answer that needs to be taking place.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I think that is going to be a big deal.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Other things that you just have to be aware of
- 14:36Speaker 1: is the unlocks that are coming. And also the other
- 14:40Speaker 1: situation in place is a two billion dollars unlock in March.
- 14:44Speaker 1: But also Galaxy Digital and other investors got a lot
- 14:47Speaker 1: of soul as well, so that could they be looking
- 14:50Speaker 1: at an exit. Just remember, yes, we've had much worse times,
- 14:54Speaker 1: and I think everybody that's been in our channel for
- 14:56Speaker 1: very long, I've lived through a lot of those times,
- 14:58Speaker 1: all the way back to FDA Forger, all those kinds
- 15:01Speaker 1: of things that have happened to the crypto market. This one,
- 15:04Speaker 1: I don't think is going to.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Be as big, So we'll see how it plays out.
- 15:07Speaker 2: For sure.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Solana is starting to recover a little bit here on
- 15:12Speaker 1: the monthly at trading at two o seven right now,
- 15:16Speaker 1: up almost six percent on the daily. Where do you
- 15:19Speaker 1: think Solana will be by let's say May or June.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Where do you think it will land? Let me know
- 15:26Speaker 1: in the comments down below. I would love to get
