Latest / The Paul Barron Crypto Show / Trump Pump or Dump?🚀
Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: All right, markets are on the move a little bit today.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Some of this, of course, is maybe coming over from
- 0:12Speaker 1: a little bit of the Trump pump. We'll take a
- 0:14Speaker 1: look at this a little deeper and find out if
- 0:16Speaker 1: that is actually the case. My name is Paul Barren.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Welcome back into tech Path. I want to thank our

- 0:58Speaker 1: it out. Let's go over into a couple of the
- 1:00Speaker 1: tweets today and take a look at what's happening in
- 1:03Speaker 1: the market right here. Breaking PCI or PCE inflation, the
- 1:08Speaker 1: FEDS for ferred inflation measure was two point six above
- 1:11Speaker 1: expectations of two point five. Core PCE though fell to
- 1:15Speaker 1: two point five in line with the expectations, and then
- 1:18Speaker 1: now PCEE inflation is flat, so PPI is rising a
- 1:22Speaker 1: little bit. Many people will look at this and say,
- 1:24Speaker 1: oh gosh, this is going to put some pressure on
- 1:26Speaker 1: share pal to maybe not cut rates. Inflation continues to
- 1:31Speaker 1: be a little bit stubborn, even though it's in the
- 1:32Speaker 1: two five to three zero range. I'm going to zoom
- 1:34Speaker 1: in on that for you guys, getting inflation down to
- 1:36Speaker 1: the two percent target is going to be difficult.
- 1:39Speaker 2: This is something that's been.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Said over and over again, is that whether or not
- 1:43Speaker 1: the FED can actually get to a two percent is
- 1:45Speaker 1: the question mark. The problem is the data that is
- 1:49Speaker 1: starting to come in on the FED, and that includes jobs,
- 1:52Speaker 1: real estate, some of the macro elements that really could
- 1:54Speaker 1: drive us into a much deeper recession. So things playing
- 1:58Speaker 1: on this is getting into the stock market, and one
- 2:01Speaker 1: of the things that hits the stock market.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Right here is.
- 2:04Speaker 1: How investors look at their current positions. So right now,
- 2:09Speaker 1: we've got a lot of US execs dumping stocks at
- 2:12Speaker 1: their fastest pace in at least the last ten years.
- 2:16Speaker 2: This is a big concern, and this is.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Something you've probably heard me say with a group of
- 2:21Speaker 1: investment managers that I work with in our colleagues. It's
- 2:26Speaker 1: interesting because they've come back so many times over the
- 2:29Speaker 1: past couple of weeks and saying this is one of
- 2:31Speaker 1: the most dangerous times they've seen in a very very
- 2:34Speaker 1: long time in terms of the investment environment.
- 2:38Speaker 2: So some pretty big issues right here.
- 2:40Speaker 1: To put this in perspective, tenure average of this metric
- 2:42Speaker 1: is around twenty six percent, and you can kind of
- 2:45Speaker 1: see this is the movement that we're talking about right here.
- 2:49Speaker 1: That's a huge drop in versus the average in just
- 2:55Speaker 1: disposal of stocks, so basically going to cash or possibly
- 2:58Speaker 1: repositioning that. I want to go to a lip real quick,
- 3:00Speaker 1: because we've got a couple of clips for you today,
- 3:03Speaker 1: and this is the Nasdaq CEO talking about inflation and
- 3:07Speaker 1: its impact on IPOs.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Take a look, and.
- 3:09Speaker 3: We got some pretty stunning GDP numbers in today two
- 3:12Speaker 3: point eight percent. We got higher quarterly PCEE than had
- 3:17Speaker 3: been expected two point nine percent. We got lower jobless
- 3:19Speaker 3: claims than had been expected. What's your view on the
- 3:22Speaker 3: economy here and do we need rate cuts?
- 3:24Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 3:24Speaker 4: I mean at the highest level, the economy continues to
- 3:26Speaker 4: be quite resilient. Now we are seeing that inflation is
- 3:31Speaker 4: coming down, and so it's coming down and normalizing. You're
- 3:34Speaker 4: seeing GDP growth slowing but still robust, which is fantastic,
- 3:38Speaker 4: but you are seeing the higher cost of capital start
- 3:40Speaker 4: to impact larger parts of the population, and citizens are
- 3:44Speaker 4: really starting to be impacted by that costa capital. You know,
- 3:47Speaker 4: you do have a pretty big delta between GDP growth
- 3:50Speaker 4: and the cost of capital, So there is an opportunity
- 3:53Speaker 4: there for the Fed to start to think about how
- 3:55Speaker 4: do they moderate that and get that more in line.
- 3:57Speaker 4: Now that even though you know, PC making maybe came
- 4:00Speaker 4: up a little bit higher, it's really still coming down
- 4:03Speaker 4: quite precipitously from last year.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Do rates and IPOs I mean, is there an inverse
- 4:07Speaker 3: relationship there? I would imagine if rates are high, then
- 4:10Speaker 3: the cost of capital from private credit lenders is higher,
- 4:14Speaker 3: and you might prefer an IPO, and the opposite.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Must be true.
- 4:17Speaker 4: Well, actually I would look a little differently. So when
- 4:19Speaker 4: investors evaluate a company for an IPO, they look at
- 4:23Speaker 4: what is the potential future earnings of that business, and
- 4:25Speaker 4: they do what we call discount of cash flow analysis,
- 4:28Speaker 4: and if the cost of capital is higher, they're going
- 4:31Speaker 4: to discount the future cash flows more. Why has the
- 4:34Speaker 4: IPO environment been so difficult, it's because the cost of
- 4:37Speaker 4: capital has gone up precipitously, investors have a hard time
- 4:39Speaker 4: modeling future cash flows. Now we're starting to think that
- 4:42Speaker 4: perhaps the cost of capital could moderate that makes it
- 4:45Speaker 4: easier for them to predict future cash flows, and we
- 4:49Speaker 4: actually think that could be a catalyst from more IPOs
- 4:52Speaker 4: going forward.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Now, remember IPO is making onto the market opens up
- 4:57Speaker 1: a couple of things. One of course, it opens up
- 4:59Speaker 1: fresh meat for vesters going into certain categories, whether it's energy, tech,
- 5:03Speaker 1: et cetera. But also you look at how many of
- 5:07Speaker 1: these companies are starting to raise capital. Now we've seen
- 5:09Speaker 1: obviously crypto being one of the categories that starts to
- 5:12Speaker 1: do that outside of the VC market. So I think
- 5:15Speaker 1: there are some variations here that will impact crypto long term.
- 5:18Speaker 2: IPOs are one of them. Because we've had a little
- 5:20Speaker 2: bit of a.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Sleepy zone on IPOs over the past bit, so it
- 5:24Speaker 1: could still put some pressure on crypto. Talking about crypto
- 5:27Speaker 1: and bitcoin, of course, Bitcoin jumping five percent traders anticipating
- 5:31Speaker 1: Trump's bitcoin speech. This happens at Saturday at around two
- 5:35Speaker 1: pm over in Nashville. A couple of things that a
- 5:37Speaker 1: lot of people are kind of looking at. Right here's
- 5:40Speaker 1: the crypto lobby and long position strighter to expect the
- 5:44Speaker 1: Trump to announce plans for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve if
- 5:47Speaker 1: elected as the US president November. This will be interesting
- 5:51Speaker 1: because whether or not he does this in Nashville, and
- 5:55Speaker 1: I don't know that he maybe he will, but I'm
- 5:57Speaker 1: just thinking, I'm looking at, you know, a check board,
- 6:00Speaker 1: and how the Republicans are trying to play this. Could
- 6:04Speaker 1: they hold that for a little bit later in the campaign,
- 6:07Speaker 1: is my question. Now they could allude to it, and
- 6:10Speaker 1: maybe that's enough for some of the markets out there.
- 6:13Speaker 1: But this is at two pm Central time tomorrow on Saturday.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Trump has set to take the knock Abotive stage over there,
- 6:21Speaker 1: so he'll be able to talk about that. We'll see
- 6:22Speaker 1: what he says. I'm gonna be watching, hopefully, you guys
- 6:24Speaker 1: will be as well. I might even do that live
- 6:26Speaker 1: stream and commentary on my ex tomorrow.
- 6:28Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll do something fun.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Make sure and get some of the questions in over
- 6:32Speaker 1: on the side, and we'll try to get to some
- 6:35Speaker 1: of those as well, if you guys can send me
- 6:37Speaker 1: the link up there in a minute. And then also
- 6:40Speaker 1: we've got a poll going on, so I want to
- 6:42Speaker 1: hear your input on where you guys think it's going
- 6:45Speaker 1: to go. Love to get your feedback there. Here's the
- 6:48Speaker 1: headliners right now. This is a pretty star Stu.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Kudos to the.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Bitcoin Conference team. I mean to get Trump and RFK
- 6:55Speaker 1: in there, Kathy Wood obviously sailor, but you got Russell
- 6:58Speaker 1: brand in there, s noted and of course Vivek, who
- 7:02Speaker 1: I think is just a bitcoin maxi and crypto maxie.
- 7:06Speaker 1: I should say, so good for bitcoin, good for crypto
- 7:10Speaker 1: as a whole. I think blockchain is going to really
- 7:13Speaker 1: win with that kind of agenda, and it will only
- 7:16Speaker 1: do things like mainlining this mainstreaming to the point where
- 7:19Speaker 1: a lot of people will start to understand what is
- 7:21Speaker 1: happening in blockchain.
- 7:23Speaker 2: So good stuff.
- 7:24Speaker 1: CMB talks to Trump at the conference. This is what
- 7:28Speaker 1: he had to say, let's go to that clip.
- 7:29Speaker 5: Around half a dozen lawmakers, including a mix of senators
- 7:32Speaker 5: and congressmen, are taking the stage. They're mostly Republicans, like
- 7:36Speaker 5: Senator Haggerty from Tennessee, but we do also have a
- 7:39Speaker 5: few Democratic representatives, including Rocana, and of course former President
- 7:43Speaker 5: Trump is on the main stage tomorrow. I've been seeing
- 7:46Speaker 5: a lot of make America Great Again hats on people
- 7:49Speaker 5: roaming the venue. But the institutional players who are here,
- 7:52Speaker 5: they insist that the technology can thrive regardless of politics.
- 7:57Speaker 5: But as much as Wall Street wants crypto to remain neutral,
- 8:00Speaker 5: the factor veins that some bitcointerers are dropping into this
- 8:03Speaker 5: convention solely to enthusiastically back Trump. And look, I think
- 8:06Speaker 5: both sides of the aisle recognize how close this election
- 8:09Speaker 5: in November could be. The last one came down to
- 8:12Speaker 5: ten million votes, a lot of undecided younger voters, the
- 8:15Speaker 5: type who might have crypto and care about crypto policy.
- 8:18Speaker 5: And Frank, it looks like Trump is capitalizing on that.
- 8:23Speaker 1: All right, so this could be the swing point. And
- 8:26Speaker 1: they are right, the younger voters, they're looking at some
- 8:29Speaker 1: alternatives because they've been opted out of a system in
- 8:32Speaker 1: many cases. I think many of you guys watching our show,
- 8:34Speaker 1: I know, when we look at demographics, we have a
- 8:36Speaker 1: lot of the eighteen to twenty four demographics. It surprises me,
- 8:41Speaker 1: in fact, to see this many young people starting to
- 8:43Speaker 1: move in the direction of political activism and just getting
- 8:46Speaker 1: into the point of where they understand what's happening in
- 8:49Speaker 1: the market and how it affects them. So this may
- 8:52Speaker 1: be the point where Trump tries to pull ahead with
- 8:54Speaker 1: that kind of connection. Now, Pompiona goes on. He talks
- 8:58Speaker 1: a little bit about here in this clip about rumors
- 9:01Speaker 1: on the idea of a bitcoin reserve. There's so many
- 9:04Speaker 1: things that would have to happen for this to occur,
- 9:06Speaker 1: but strategically it could occur, and that's something that's kind
- 9:10Speaker 1: of unique. Let's go to that clip. You kind of
- 9:12Speaker 1: understand it's.
- 9:13Speaker 6: Going to be a huge year. I mean, look, foreign
- 9:15Speaker 6: President Trump is speaking. Rumors are that he is going
- 9:18Speaker 6: to call for a national strategic reserve of bitcoin for
- 9:21Speaker 6: the United States. And if you just think about this,
- 9:23Speaker 6: historically we have seen very small countries they've done mining,
- 9:26Speaker 6: they've bought some bitcoin in El Salvador's case, et cetera.
- 9:29Speaker 6: You have a Malay down in Argentina, who's been very
- 9:31Speaker 6: sympathetic to bitcoin. But for a developed nation like the
- 9:34Speaker 6: United States to take a step closer to embracing something
- 9:37Speaker 6: like bitcoin, not necessarily to try to replace the dollar,
- 9:40Speaker 6: but simply to say, hey, we think that this is
- 9:42Speaker 6: an important asset, it's a scar sasset, and we should
- 9:44Speaker 6: go put it on our balance sheet. That would be
- 9:46Speaker 6: a massive historical moment. Was one of the things that
- 9:48Speaker 6: I continue to say is it's like we took the
- 9:50Speaker 6: US Constitution and we wrote it into code.
- 9:52Speaker 3: You know.
- 9:52Speaker 6: One of the interesting things about the United States, so
- 9:55Speaker 6: we have checks and balances, we kind of the three
- 9:56Speaker 6: branches of government, and we really try to focus that
- 9:59Speaker 6: no one person or organization gets too much power in
- 10:01Speaker 6: the government and can kind of do things unilaterally. Bitcoin
- 10:04Speaker 6: is the exact same way. There are people who run nodes,
- 10:06Speaker 6: there are people who write software, and there are the miners,
- 10:09Speaker 6: the just kind of the three branches of bitcoin, and
- 10:10Speaker 6: so what ends up happening is no one that's an
- 10:12Speaker 6: individual or an organization has too much power or control.
- 10:15Speaker 6: And so the same way that the US government has
- 10:17Speaker 6: really kind of shepherded democracy and capitalism, bitcoin has the
- 10:21Speaker 6: same exact thing in a digital world in code.
- 10:24Speaker 1: All right, So whether you like POMP don't like POMP,
- 10:27Speaker 1: I think that little segment right there. Hopefully Trump's advisors
- 10:31Speaker 1: pull from that segment because that I think if they
- 10:33Speaker 1: represent something like that in front of not only the bitcoiners,
- 10:36Speaker 1: but in front of major media and also I think
- 10:39Speaker 1: the nation because people are kind of zeroed in on
- 10:41Speaker 1: the bitcoin conference right now, this could be a big
- 10:44Speaker 1: step in the right direction. Now, without a contrarian, it
- 10:49Speaker 1: would not be fun. So we got to bring up
- 10:50Speaker 1: Peter Schiff. Only reason for Trump supporting bitcoin is to
- 10:53Speaker 1: get contributions and votes from the crypto community. I think
- 10:57Speaker 1: that's pretty much the reason for most candidates worried about
- 11:00Speaker 1: supporting By supporting bitcoin, and he'll lose support from no coiners,
- 11:04Speaker 1: people that don't have crypto, so it's a political no brainer.
- 11:07Speaker 1: So people that don't have crypto probably don't even care.
- 11:10Speaker 1: But there is a large voting block around thirty million
- 11:13Speaker 1: right now in the United States that have some sort
- 11:16Speaker 1: of involvement in crypto, and I think that is a
- 11:18Speaker 1: big enough voting block that it could swing the election,
- 11:22Speaker 1: maybe more so than any So be on the lookout
- 11:26Speaker 1: for that. Because I think this is a huge one.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Now he says that he doesn't think any of these
- 11:31Speaker 1: promises will be kept even if he goes with a
- 11:33Speaker 1: strategic reserve strategy. But maybe this is the time that
- 11:38Speaker 1: we start to see nations really starting to shift into blockchain.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I think because of just what we'll see in RWA's
- 11:44Speaker 1: and the shift in our financial system. Blackrock and all
- 11:47Speaker 1: of the players within Wall Street they already kind of
- 11:49Speaker 1: get it. I think it's just a matter of time
- 11:51Speaker 1: before DC gets it as well. I want to go
- 11:54Speaker 1: to another clip here, and that is talking about the
- 11:57Speaker 1: government and why they should own bitcoin.
- 11:59Speaker 2: This is mister Michael Sailor take a.
- 12:00Speaker 6: Look backing the dollar with bitcoin.
- 12:02Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you know, I think you backed the dollar
- 12:06Speaker 7: by doing something economically rational. So when the United States
- 12:12Speaker 7: actually purchased Louisiana and we expanded the country a double
- 12:18Speaker 7: the size of it, we backed the dollar. And when
- 12:20Speaker 7: Seward bought Alaska and we found a trillion dollars of
- 12:23Speaker 7: oil underneath it, we backed the dollar. And when we
- 12:29Speaker 7: developed a port of New York City and we engaged
- 12:33Speaker 7: in international commerce, we backed the dollars. So the country's
- 12:37Speaker 7: got a luck to the future. And the future of
- 12:40Speaker 7: the country is in cyberspace, and bitcoin is in essence
- 12:44Speaker 7: cyber Manhattan. So the way you back the dollar is
- 12:47Speaker 7: you buy Manhattan for pieces of paper and trinkets, and
- 12:53Speaker 7: you buy it before it's worth hundreds of trillions of dollars,
- 12:56Speaker 7: just like the Dutch bought in New York for fifty
- 12:59Speaker 7: dollars were at the plastic beads. And so I think
- 13:03Speaker 7: that it's right in front of us. The United States
- 13:06Speaker 7: owns the majority of the gold in the world. The
- 13:10Speaker 7: US federal government owns twenty eight percent of the land,
- 13:13Speaker 7: you know, in the United States. The US government should
- 13:16Speaker 7: own the majority of the bitcoin in the world.
- 13:20Speaker 1: So that would be very intriguing I think, you know,
- 13:22Speaker 1: in the sense of freedom, you know, if you look
- 13:25Speaker 1: at bitcoin or crypto in general, that I think could
- 13:29Speaker 1: be a big challenge in the future of where we
- 13:31Speaker 1: see nation states really starting to play in this, providing
- 13:34Speaker 1: that they continue their way of doing business, you know,
- 13:38Speaker 1: in terms of governing the people. So I think that's
- 13:40Speaker 1: still a question mark. I know, we're getting into a
- 13:43Speaker 1: lot of political lines, so I just I don't want
- 13:45Speaker 1: to cross that too much because it's just it's crazy
- 13:47Speaker 1: whether you're a Trump voter or you're a Democratic voter,
- 13:51Speaker 1: whatever the route may be, I don't care. I just
- 13:53Speaker 1: want you to get out and vote. So vote your conscious,
- 13:56Speaker 1: vote what you guys want to do, because this, of
- 13:59Speaker 1: course hopefully guides a lot more than just policy around
- 14:01Speaker 1: bitcoin and crypto. Eric Balschuniz comes in and says, just checked,
- 14:06Speaker 1: and yes, it looks like Michigan's pension now has brought
- 14:09Speaker 1: up some arcb this even though it's around seven point
- 14:13Speaker 1: four million, which is small, but the fact that they're
- 14:16Speaker 1: moving that's a good thing.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I think we'll see more of that kind of zoom
- 14:19Speaker 2: in on that for you.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I've noticed that my screen is a little bit choppy
- 14:23Speaker 1: on the playback, so I'll try to zoom in on those.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Here's Jersey City will also make two percent bitcoin allocation
- 14:29Speaker 1: to it's pension. Fun This came in from the marriage
- 14:31Speaker 1: Jersey City.
- 14:32Speaker 2: So these are acts that are real.
- 14:34Speaker 1: These are things that I think a lot of people
- 14:36Speaker 1: maybe discount of what is happening out there. And to
- 14:41Speaker 1: Sailor's point is that getting on the ground floor of
- 14:44Speaker 1: anything in any era always makes a class of citizens wealthy.
- 14:51Speaker 1: And it's just because those are the people that went
- 14:54Speaker 1: out there and risked it all thought that they might
- 14:56Speaker 1: be able to change their way of life, and maybe
- 14:58Speaker 1: that gets ready to happen right here in blockchain. I
- 15:00Speaker 1: think it will. That's why you know we spend so
- 15:03Speaker 1: much time on it. Here's Forsorrow talking about bit Wise's
- 15:07Speaker 1: Ethereum ETF banner going up just outside the iconic facade
- 15:11Speaker 1: of the New York Stocks Shanks. What a great view
- 15:14Speaker 1: that is to see mainstream Wall Street with an ether ETF.
- 15:20Speaker 2: This is surreal to me.
- 15:23Speaker 1: I just two years ago, I don't think anybody would
- 15:25Speaker 1: ever believe that we would see these kind of moves
- 15:27Speaker 1: on Wall Street, much less having presidential candidates speaking at
- 15:31Speaker 1: the largest conferences in the industry for blockchain and for crypto.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Why Wall Street is still wary of DeFi this I
- 15:39Speaker 1: think is going to change pretty quickly. Many reasons why,
- 15:42Speaker 1: but some of the key ones right here. For the uninitiated,
- 15:46Speaker 1: it's like crypto's world of the version of financial services
- 15:49Speaker 1: on autopilot.
- 15:50Speaker 2: And many of you probably are new to the channel.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Maybe you're new to crypto and you don't really understand
- 15:54Speaker 1: decentralized finance, but this really is I think one of
- 15:57Speaker 1: the most free elements.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Once that you go down that rabbit hole.
- 16:03Speaker 1: If you are any red bullet American, any entrepreneur, anybody
- 16:06Speaker 1: that's for capitalism, you're probably going to realize this is
- 16:09Speaker 1: a new way of doing things. And I think this
- 16:11Speaker 1: is something that Wall Street is going to find out
- 16:14Speaker 1: as well. Going full full on decentralized tokenization just going
- 16:17Speaker 1: to be realistic or desirable for the banks. It's going
- 16:20Speaker 1: to be all in when it comes to these financial
- 16:23Speaker 1: instruments going forward. But whether it gets really interesting is
- 16:26Speaker 1: the tokenization market could hit a whopping.
- 16:29Speaker 2: This is thirty trillion, that's all. What is that?
- 16:32Speaker 1: A little less than three times the market cap of
- 16:35Speaker 1: gold in by twenty thirty four, we're talking about ten years.
- 16:39Speaker 1: That would be insane going forward. So lots of big
- 16:43Speaker 1: opportunities here for sure, could be same kind of thing
- 16:46Speaker 1: if you look at it really around the technology explosion
- 16:49Speaker 1: that we saw in the early two thousands. But remember
- 16:52Speaker 1: there's a big dump on that too as well. James
- 16:55Speaker 1: sayfert right here Day three recap of eth.
- 16:59Speaker 2: ETFs.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Over three days of the theory metfs see net outflow
- 17:02Speaker 1: about negative one to seventy eight, but total assets for
- 17:05Speaker 1: the group set just shy of nine billion man a
- 17:08Speaker 1: ten billion dollar a week and it only started midweek'
- 17:12Speaker 1: that's pretty significant for movement for sure. Not a not
- 17:18Speaker 1: a bad showing, even though Eth has been on a
- 17:22Speaker 1: little bit of a slowdown. Let me go over to
- 17:24Speaker 1: the charts real quick, because I wanted to look at
- 17:25Speaker 1: a couple of things. We'll take a look at Eth
- 17:28Speaker 1: right here. Did get a little bit of a reversal
- 17:30Speaker 1: right here. This was one we were showing in our
- 17:32Speaker 1: diamond circle yesterday, is that we saw some sentiment movement
- 17:36Speaker 1: and we looked at hey, we might get a little
- 17:38Speaker 1: bit of a reversal here, so he starting to move.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Of course, Bitcoin already showing some pretty strong signs right now.
- 17:44Speaker 1: As soon as our indicator paints up still showing positive,
- 17:49Speaker 1: positive sentiment right now, as it continues to climb, we
- 17:51Speaker 1: may get this through the weekend, though, especially with what's
- 17:54Speaker 1: happening over at the conference, lots of things happening, for sure.
- 17:57Speaker 1: What else did we have? We had a couple other
- 17:59Speaker 1: things here Arkham. Twenty five minutes ago, gray Scale transferred
- 18:02Speaker 1: another one hundred and ten thousand e to coinbase Prime,
- 18:06Speaker 1: So that's worth about three hundred and fifty eight million.
- 18:08Speaker 2: This maybe the last of the flow. Gray scale really
- 18:10Speaker 2: took a.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Hit on this, but I think everybody kind of expected this,
- 18:13Speaker 1: and it really is a repeat part zo of part
- 18:17Speaker 1: two of what happened with bitcoin ETF, So not too
- 18:21Speaker 1: overly unexpected.
- 18:22Speaker 2: There one other thing right.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Here I want to hit on, and that is Alana.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Look at this flipping B and B in market cap.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the Salona chart real quick,
- 18:32Speaker 1: just to see one eight two right now. It's coming
- 18:35Speaker 1: back off of its down right now. WHOA Salona is
- 18:39Speaker 1: really cranking on sentiment there. So we've got trade MSI
- 18:44Speaker 1: right now at seventy percent. Volume is up overall seventy
- 18:47Speaker 1: one point ninety four. This may be one of the
- 18:49Speaker 1: highest signals we've seen in our trading indicator for a while.
- 18:55Speaker 1: So could this be Solana's run to two hundred again?
- 18:58Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's go over to the poll real quick.
- 19:02Speaker 1: I'll get to some questions real quick. We'll jump onto
- 19:04Speaker 1: Polly Market. Take a look all that good stuff. After
- 19:06Speaker 1: Saturday's Trump speech, bitcoin will pump. Everybody's on the pump train,
- 19:14Speaker 1: the Trump pump train right here. Sixty eight percent, that's
- 19:18Speaker 1: a strong you almost have to bet the other way now,
- 19:22Speaker 1: I mean you just almost have to take it.
- 19:24Speaker 2: It's just too juicy.
- 19:26Speaker 1: You almost have to bet the other way. I wish
- 19:27Speaker 1: that was something that was on poly market. Let's see
- 19:29Speaker 1: what poly market's doing right now. Presidential election winner Woo
- 19:33Speaker 1: boy guys, the Harris camp is moving thirty nine percent
- 19:37Speaker 1: right now. If we go into the graph on this,
- 19:41Speaker 1: this has been a pretty interesting move really. I mean,
- 19:44Speaker 1: if you look at this, this is really getting into
- 19:46Speaker 1: a race. So we'll see things start to level out here.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Trump started earlier in the month around the nineteenth at
- 19:53Speaker 1: about sixty six. Now he's down around sixty. This could
- 19:57Speaker 1: be Let's see what this shows on Monday.
- 20:00Speaker 2: With what Trump announces on.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Saturday, we'll see maybe on Saturday and Sunday when we
- 20:07Speaker 1: start to see the moves, we'll be able to catch
- 20:09Speaker 1: a lot of that.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Let's get into some of the questions.
- 20:11Speaker 1: What do we have here, Carlos says, Arrow, all coin
- 20:14Speaker 1: pumping Arrow. You know, we had tim on last week
- 20:16Speaker 1: we were talking about Arrow.
- 20:17Speaker 2: He likes it.
- 20:18Speaker 1: We're kind of still back and forth on Arrow. We've
- 20:21Speaker 1: played on it in the essence of going in again,
- 20:23Speaker 1: not financial advice, but just some of the things that
- 20:25Speaker 1: we look at from a research standpoint. Do you think
- 20:28Speaker 1: the ETHTF will be updated with staking? Okay, so go
- 20:32Speaker 1: back and watch our video with twenty one shares and
- 20:36Speaker 1: we have their CEO on just this week. Go back
- 20:38Speaker 1: and watch that, because he gets into a lot of
- 20:39Speaker 1: this and if he's going this direction, you can imagine
- 20:43Speaker 1: that a lot of these other fund managers are going
- 20:45Speaker 1: to be going this direction. And what they're talking about
- 20:47Speaker 1: is that and it's just a matter of not if
- 20:51Speaker 1: a win. And he said that on camera with us
- 20:53Speaker 1: just this week. All right, so you'd have to be
- 20:57Speaker 1: more on to bet against the upcoming Thank you.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Robert Kennery Junior.
- 21:03Speaker 1: As the best over understanding I think is what you mean.
- 21:06Speaker 1: En of crypto, I would agree. I think RFK does
- 21:09Speaker 1: have a good understanding of it. God he's you know,
- 21:12Speaker 1: if he had stayed and if he had just been
- 21:14Speaker 1: able to stay in the Democratic Party a little bit longer,
- 21:17Speaker 1: he might have had a chance to get in there,
- 21:20Speaker 1: but now too late. How much is Torres getting paid.
- 21:23Speaker 2: To delay That's a good question. I don't know.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Waiting for bitcoin to go to a hunter K, everybody
- 21:30Speaker 1: is I think everybody's looking at that as the signal.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Where would you, guys exit if you owned bitcoin today,
- 21:36Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious where would you exit your position?
- 21:39Speaker 1: If you were to exit, maybe you're not just bitcoin forever,
- 21:43Speaker 1: but what would be the position of where you might
- 21:45Speaker 1: start saying I'm going to take profits, you know, maybe
- 21:47Speaker 1: this cycle's over, and what do you think that's going
- 21:49Speaker 1: to look like?
- 21:51Speaker 2: It always dumps on good news. Miguel says.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Trump is live at two o'clock Central Time, so that
- 21:59Speaker 1: for those of you guys, if you're on Eastern it's
- 22:02Speaker 1: three twenty two now, so Central is usually an hour
- 22:05Speaker 1: behind us. So there you go, two o'clock on Saturday tomorrow,
- 22:09Speaker 1: So be on the lookout. Sailor being a patriot gives
- 22:12Speaker 1: up his bitcoin. Wouldn't that be something not gonna happen?
- 22:14Speaker 1: So the few that hold millions of bitcoin become the
- 22:17Speaker 1: oligarchs of the US well, I mean, you know, listen,
- 22:21Speaker 1: that's how the roth Childs, the pretty much anybody in
- 22:25Speaker 1: the history of the United States became who they are.
- 22:29Speaker 1: It's also some of the biggest you know, I think
- 22:34Speaker 1: influencers and businessmen of tech.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Same kind of scenario.
- 22:37Speaker 1: I mean, if you look back and think Ellison, you
- 22:40Speaker 1: look at Amazon, you look at Facebook. I mean they're
- 22:43Speaker 1: just early, that's all. They get there early. Yes, they
- 22:46Speaker 1: get the rewards. That's kind of how capitalism works. Guys,
- 22:50Speaker 1: will Trump blather on about rigged election or quote the
- 22:53Speaker 1: great American? That would be the best, I think, because
- 22:59Speaker 1: he gets going. Man, this guy is crazy. I'd just
- 23:01Speaker 1: rather him just get right to the point.
- 23:03Speaker 2: This is what we need. Here's my stump. These are
- 23:05Speaker 2: the things I'm gonna do. Get get out.
- 23:08Speaker 1: San Diego says it's a pump until speech selling. After
- 23:11Speaker 1: he competes his glorious speech, he's out of there. Janet yelled,
- 23:15Speaker 1: I think you mean yelling wants to buy a bitcoin?
- 23:17Speaker 2: Yes she does.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Frank Allen says, Harris is up by twenty points on Trump.
- 23:23Speaker 1: People just making s up in.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Crypto as usual.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I hope that you are wrong, Frank, But if you
- 23:30Speaker 1: are right, then I'm going to go back to that.
- 23:33Speaker 1: I'm gonna screenshot yours and we'll give you your flowers.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Trump XRP.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I don't know if Trump knows what extra P is,
- 23:40Speaker 1: but maybe can PBN get a live stream on the
- 23:44Speaker 1: Bitcoin conference speeches?
- 23:45Speaker 2: You could, but I think they're.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Streaming over on aren't they streaming on Rumble? I think
- 23:49Speaker 1: they're streaming on Rumble. I mean, we could do that,
- 23:52Speaker 1: but would you guys watch something like that, you know,
- 23:54Speaker 1: of some of the conference speeches, you could.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Probably do it.
- 23:58Speaker 1: While Trump will say whatever they wanting to say. After all, Okay, well,
- 24:02Speaker 1: welcome to politics, guys. That's how it works. If you
- 24:05Speaker 1: are a contributor to a candidate, they say what you
- 24:09Speaker 1: want them to say.
- 24:11Speaker 2: That's how it works.
- 24:12Speaker 1: That's how you know, cheesy it is and unfortunately how
- 24:15Speaker 1: dirty it is. That's just politics in America and always
- 24:18Speaker 1: will be. I don't think that's the game. So some
- 24:20Speaker 1: people out there think bitcoin is the endgame.
- 24:25Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 24:26Speaker 1: I think we've got a long way guys. There is
- 24:28Speaker 1: so much can happen in this technology, blockchain, what's going
- 24:32Speaker 1: to happen, both on the idea of what we're going
- 24:34Speaker 1: to deal with on the future of bitcoin and many
- 24:38Speaker 1: other assets, including ethereum, because I think ethereum is still one,
- 24:42Speaker 1: if not the maybe the best solution out there for
- 24:47Speaker 1: next generation technology.
- 24:48Speaker 2: So you know there're some good ones for sure. Man.
- 24:52Speaker 1: You guys are throwing some comments in there today kind
- 24:54Speaker 1: of crazy. But listen, the one thing you have to remember.
