Latest / The Paul Barron Crypto Show / Trump Inauguration Day Crypto Pump_🎊
Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: Inauguration just a few days away. Everybody's asking where the
- 0:10Speaker 1: market will be. Well, today we'll break it down for you.
- 0:11Speaker 1: My name is Paul Barre. Welcome back in a tech path.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Let's start today with our sponsor, and that is I
- 0:16Speaker 1: Trust Capital. If you guys are looking at going into
- 0:18Speaker 1: a CRYPTOIRA, check out I Trust Capital. You can use
- 0:21Speaker 1: a lot of tokens over there, including all coins. You
- 0:24Speaker 1: can also get into gold and silver over on I Trust.
- 0:27Speaker 1: It's a very trusted site. And of course the cool
- 0:30Speaker 1: thing is is that when you get in there, there's
- 0:32Speaker 1: no monthly fees. The only work off of the trades
- 0:34Speaker 1: that you're doing inside of your CRYPTOIRA, which means a
- 0:38Speaker 1: good tax position. Always consult your tax people for that.
- 0:42Speaker 1: But use our code down below to get one hundred
- 0:44Speaker 1: bucks off or one hundred bucks in funding. I should
- 0:46Speaker 1: say and get started. Let's go over to a couple
- 0:49Speaker 1: of points I want to hit on. I want to
- 0:50Speaker 1: lead off with a tweet right here, Donald Trump is
- 0:53Speaker 1: to designate a crypto as a national priority, including the
- 0:57Speaker 1: consideration of a national big coin stockpile. Now that's the
- 1:01Speaker 1: question of whether a bitcoin stockpile question mark is the
- 1:04Speaker 1: same as a strategic reserve. Is Trump backing off of this,
- 1:09Speaker 1: We don't know yet, but we're going to be watching
- 1:11Speaker 1: with Bata breath as things start to heat up there
- 1:13Speaker 1: in DC. Another thing that's happening right now around the
- 1:16Speaker 1: States is that states have been introducing legislation to get
- 1:22Speaker 1: into bitcoin as a reserve. And of course this is
- 1:25Speaker 1: Wyoming introducing legislation to allow permanent funds to diverse fly
- 1:29Speaker 1: into bitcoin, and of course this will change things quite
- 1:32Speaker 1: a bit. The first one that actually passes this, I
- 1:35Speaker 1: think we'll start an absolute domino effect going forward. One
- 1:40Speaker 1: other state that's hitting here is breaking news around the
- 1:44Speaker 1: state of Massachusetts, who is also getting into a strategic
- 1:48Speaker 1: bitcoin reserve. So good news for all the states. We
- 1:51Speaker 1: showed this yesterday I think where we showed all the states,
- 1:53Speaker 1: Oklahoma's on the list, there was quite a few that
- 1:56Speaker 1: have already started to go into this, and of course
- 1:58Speaker 1: Florida is already on the.
- 2:00Speaker 2: List as well.
- 2:01Speaker 1: This was an interesting point to me, and that is
- 2:04Speaker 1: SWEE has now sponsored Donald Trump's inauguration, So I know,
- 2:09Speaker 1: I don't know what, but my understanding of those those
- 2:11Speaker 1: were like million dollar tickets. So Swede jumping into the
- 2:15Speaker 1: political arena, maybe to be considered as an American token,
- 2:19Speaker 1: which could open things up, you know, around capital gains
- 2:22Speaker 1: for tokens. Everybody's been talking about that as a possibility,
- 2:25Speaker 1: especially with his America first theme. We could see some
- 2:29Speaker 1: crypto projects that start to play into that. Here's another
- 2:31Speaker 1: tweet by Kobec. This is talking about the market a
- 2:34Speaker 1: general market in the S and P five hundred best
- 2:37Speaker 1: week since November twenty twenty four.
- 2:39Speaker 2: This was the h during the Trump selection.
- 2:42Speaker 1: So if you think about that and where the S
- 2:45Speaker 1: and P right now is, because remember back in November
- 2:47Speaker 1: we saw that big initial spike that took us into
- 2:50Speaker 1: early December before we started to see the adjustment period
- 2:54Speaker 1: in crypto and especially on the stock market.
- 2:56Speaker 2: So could we be.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Nearing that same thing with this dation pump potential. Everybody's
- 3:03Speaker 1: pointing at this because there's going to be a lot
- 3:05Speaker 1: of good news coming at the crypto market, especially around regulation,
- 3:09Speaker 1: around alignment, maybe a lot of these lawsuits being dropped,
- 3:13Speaker 1: and a whole ton of I think tokens that are
- 3:16Speaker 1: going to be somewhat named around strategies that the US
- 3:20Speaker 1: government is going to be playing forward.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Here you look at the fear and greed.
- 3:23Speaker 1: It's getting a little heated right now at seventy five
- 3:26Speaker 1: when you look at this time last month, we were
- 3:29Speaker 1: at eighty one, So.
- 3:31Speaker 2: This gets a little bit overheated.
- 3:32Speaker 1: But remember it takes a little bit of a push.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Now would if bitcoin went to one hundred and twenty,
- 3:38Speaker 1: could we see eighty one again?
- 3:39Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that could be a move that could occur.
- 3:42Speaker 1: We'll look at the chart at the end just to
- 3:43Speaker 1: kind of take a look at where some of these
- 3:45Speaker 1: tokens are, because we have had a nice little move here.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Here's Tarrett hitting in on trading activity here in the US.
- 3:51Speaker 1: A lot of upside on this, lots of activity growing.
- 3:54Speaker 1: If you look at the US markets, mostly coinbase, but
- 3:57Speaker 1: if you look at some of the North America versus
- 3:59Speaker 1: eight trading hours market share, it's interesting because these are
- 4:04Speaker 1: kind of the after hours opportunity here that resides in
- 4:08Speaker 1: that I think is the one to watch. Look at
- 4:09Speaker 1: the US, which is that light purple climbs dramatically here
- 4:15Speaker 1: as you can see it flowing into the beginning of
- 4:17Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. So this could be that again inauguration
- 4:22Speaker 1: pump that continues to rise. All markets within crypto. Senator
- 4:27Speaker 1: Carson Jillibrand, she of course had a meeting with our
- 4:29Speaker 1: new SEC chair and that is Paul Atkins. So this
- 4:32Speaker 1: is good news maybe in the sense that Atkins is
- 4:34Speaker 1: doing a bit of a round about there in DC
- 4:37Speaker 1: to understand where these senators are positioning. I think most
- 4:39Speaker 1: of which Senator Jillibrand and also Senator Lumbas have all
- 4:43Speaker 1: always been in the camp of crypto, so maybe this
- 4:45Speaker 1: is a good sign that he'll continue to be a
- 4:48Speaker 1: pro crypto advocate there in the SEC's office, and which
- 4:51Speaker 1: could initially start some things pretty quickly as soon as
- 4:56Speaker 1: he takes office next week, So big deal. Can you
- 4:58Speaker 1: imagine Gary Gensler is going to be out of a
- 5:01Speaker 1: job by Monday.
- 5:03Speaker 2: That's just it's happened. It has happened, so pretty cool stuff.
- 5:08Speaker 1: The SEC's top lawyer, Meghan Barbera, has also resigned. So listen, guys,
- 5:13Speaker 1: we got a lot of people starting. I mean, they
- 5:15Speaker 1: are running for the exits at this point, and I
- 5:18Speaker 1: think this is only good for crypto in general. Government
- 5:21Speaker 1: bitcoin holdings in twenty twenty five, who owns the most
- 5:24Speaker 1: you want to know? Well, here they are United States
- 5:27Speaker 1: leaves the pack here at seven point three billion. Then
- 5:29Speaker 1: you got China coming at six point seven, the UK
- 5:33Speaker 1: at two point wow, way down two point one, Bhutan.
- 5:36Speaker 2: At seven eighty.
- 5:37Speaker 1: There's El Salvador, a small little country starting to really
- 5:41Speaker 1: make the world stage. I think here when it comes
- 5:44Speaker 1: to bitcoin, so I think this is still not yet
- 5:47Speaker 1: fully reported, meaning I think there are some countries out
- 5:50Speaker 1: there that have been secretly buying bitcoin in in the.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Shadows for sure.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Let me go to a clip real quick, because this
- 5:58Speaker 1: will get into a little bit about we could see
- 6:02Speaker 1: ETF bonds now coming in and hitting the market.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Aside from the fact that credit investors in a cap
- 6:09Speaker 3: structure have certainly they're higher in the cap structure than
- 6:12Speaker 3: equity investors. But when I think about a micro strategy,
- 6:14Speaker 3: and I'm not suggesting they're on the on the eve
- 6:17Speaker 3: of a credit event, but I would almost think that
- 6:20Speaker 3: the risk reward here for buying a bond that's linked
- 6:22Speaker 3: to a company who could have huge credit exposure because
- 6:24Speaker 3: they're wildly levered to the price of bitcoin. Isn't a
- 6:26Speaker 3: great trade off of risk reward for a bond that
- 6:29Speaker 3: you know and you know to me help us understand,
- 6:32Speaker 3: Also for the investors. What the return profile of these
- 6:35Speaker 3: bonds is. Are we talking about correlation to bitcoin returns?
- 6:39Speaker 4: Yeah, So to answer your first question, you have to
- 6:42Speaker 4: figure out how do you break these bonds? Right because
- 6:45Speaker 4: there's always a way to break a bond, and right now,
- 6:48Speaker 4: with micro Strategy, the value of the total aggregate debt
- 6:53Speaker 4: versus their bitcoin is about twenty five percent, so you
- 6:55Speaker 4: would need a decrease of call it seventy five percent
- 6:58Speaker 4: in the price of micro Strategy. But then they also
- 7:01Speaker 4: have a ladder maturity schedule, so they don't have one
- 7:04Speaker 4: hundred percent of that debt do in any year. It's
- 7:06Speaker 4: due over many years. On the upside, they're designed to
- 7:10Speaker 4: give about seventy five percent of the upside of the
- 7:12Speaker 4: exposure to micro Strategy at least in the issuance of
- 7:15Speaker 4: micro Strategy debt, and then in most reasonable bear scenarios
- 7:20Speaker 4: they'll pay back at par and so that creates an
- 7:22Speaker 4: interesting risk return scenario from like the sharp ratio perspective
- 7:26Speaker 4: of yes, it may not return the same as MicroStrategy,
- 7:28Speaker 4: but you're getting a good chunce to the upside with
- 7:32Speaker 4: limited downside unless everything goes really bad. And if everything
- 7:36Speaker 4: goes really bad, then you're not going to do well,
- 7:39Speaker 4: whether you're in the equity or bitcoin or the debt.
- 7:43Speaker 1: All right, So as you can see, there's a lot
- 7:45Speaker 1: of instruments being implemented into the market right now because
- 7:48Speaker 1: of the interest I think on bitcoin in general, and
- 7:50Speaker 1: as we start to heat up into the inauguration and
- 7:53Speaker 1: the Trump administration taking office, there's going to be I
- 7:56Speaker 1: think even more starting to hit the open mark, especially
- 7:59Speaker 1: in wall streets. So what they're talking about there is
- 8:01Speaker 1: the bitcoin bonds and how that could play out as
- 8:03Speaker 1: a potential investment. Other things that could play out are
- 8:06Speaker 1: how stable coins could also into the market. Here, you've
- 8:09Speaker 1: got r l usd now is live on the Root network.
- 8:12Speaker 1: So this is just another place where you'll be able
- 8:15Speaker 1: to use Ripple stable coin and be able to hold
- 8:18Speaker 1: by and trade over there on the Root network. If
- 8:20Speaker 1: you know much about the Root network, you've probably covered
- 8:22Speaker 1: or follow our show for a little bit. It's another
- 8:25Speaker 1: opportunity to get into some of the XRP ecosystems, So
- 8:28Speaker 1: check it out if you haven't, it's a good place
- 8:30Speaker 1: to kind of go into that area. Ripple x kind
- 8:33Speaker 1: of hits on something here and that is XRP ledger
- 8:36Speaker 1: lending protocol. And this is something I was talking about
- 8:38Speaker 1: the other day, is as we start to see more instruments,
- 8:42Speaker 1: finance instruments coming, at some point crypto is going to
- 8:45Speaker 1: get ready for traditional finance. So what I mean traditional
- 8:50Speaker 1: finance is using it as a asset against the loan.
- 8:55Speaker 1: And most banks already do this with high quality and
- 8:58Speaker 1: level one asset that are out there. Gold, mostly in
- 9:01Speaker 1: bonds have been in that area, but securities also stocks.
- 9:05Speaker 1: But I think that we could see crypto starting to
- 9:07Speaker 1: play into that and I think stable cooin of course,
- 9:08Speaker 1: will play a big role in this. Could we see
- 9:11Speaker 1: something around what XRP could do in that area that'll
- 9:15Speaker 1: be interesting to watch. Other things that are going on
- 9:17Speaker 1: in the market right here, coinbas Assets talking about a
- 9:20Speaker 1: new listing and this is Toshi.
- 9:22Speaker 2: This is an AI.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Agent that was listed and remember Brett was I would say,
- 9:27Speaker 1: the leading based token, especially from meme coins. And you
- 9:31Speaker 1: see now an AI narrative start to show in there.
- 9:33Speaker 1: So could we be seeing an AI narrative coming into
- 9:36Speaker 1: listings on some of these major platforms out there, coinbase
- 9:39Speaker 1: being one of those.
- 9:40Speaker 2: So keep your eyes open.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Continue as that AI agent narrative starts to play against
- 9:46Speaker 1: the meme coin narrative in this bull run. Remember, everybody's
- 9:49Speaker 1: looking for what is the narrative that is going to
- 9:52Speaker 1: hit at the right time. As we see parabolic moves,
- 9:56Speaker 1: that is the factor that this could be showing a
- 9:59Speaker 1: little bit of moving on. And then there you've got
- 10:02Speaker 1: crypto dot Com also now live on the derivatives change
- 10:05Speaker 1: Toshi also available over there. So that just shows you
- 10:08Speaker 1: what I'm getting at is that we could see more
- 10:11Speaker 1: of this starting show up on a lot of these
- 10:13Speaker 1: primary exchanges where people can start to trade these, So
- 10:16Speaker 1: be on the lookout for all of that. Of course,
- 10:18Speaker 1: if you guys are not in the diamond circle, get
- 10:19Speaker 1: in right now. We anticipate that the market's probably going
- 10:23Speaker 1: to get a little softer right at the inauguration day.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are asking where what
- 10:28Speaker 1: will happen on Sunday? I think we still pump into Sunday,
- 10:31Speaker 1: So be on the lookout. Could we get to about
- 10:33Speaker 1: one oh nine, That's kind of the number I'm looking
- 10:35Speaker 1: at for bitcoin as it hovers around one oh five today.
