A highlight from 5 BIGGEST Opportunities In Crypto THIS WEEK! (I'm Taking These Trades)
"In today's show we're going to talk about the five most interesting plays of the week, three of which I am actually taking. We have short setups, long setups in what is said to be a pretty interesting week for altcoin specifically and that's why I'm bringing to you my favorite setups of the week and also some of the most interesting coins that have altcoin specific catalysts. So if you do enjoy these watchlist shows every single Monday to prepare you for the week make sure to smash the like button and let me know in the comments below you do enjoy them and we will keep this going as a regular series. All right, kicking off with coin number one, we're going to be boring. We're going to talk about Bitcoin. Of course, it's not an altcoin, but it is in a pretty interesting zone right now, hovering above the key horizontal support level at the 25 -3 zone on the weekly. Bitcoin though, important to note, is still below the 200 MA on the weekly, which is typically a bearish indicator for Bitcoin. We know previous times that this level has acted as a major level of support and resistance. also So the 200 weekly moving average is super important and also the 200 moving average on the daily as well. So just keeping my eye on how Bitcoin reacts here, clearly 25k is that key level, but it doesn't look great for Bitcoin. Momentum in my opinion is still to the downside and the more we test that support the higher chance it does have of breaking, not being too bearish necessarily, but just urging you guys like a little bit of caution as long as we are below the 200 MA on the weekly. Let's get into the first altcoin of the video though in light of that, and that is Chainlink. So Chainlink is one that's actually performed really well this week in the lead up to their Smartcon. Their Smartcon 2023 is essentially a conference where developers and speakers all meet together and talk about the future of the industry, but specifically Chainlink. And we see there are many major speakers, the founder of Chainlink, we even have the former CEO of Google and multiple other major prominent figures across the crypto space speaking. So in the lead up to this, we've actually seen Chainlink perform really well from a price perspective. But in the graph in front of you, I do have the chart that outlines how Chainlink has performed in previous times leading into Smartcon and then leading out of Smartcon. And we can see in 2022, Chainlink actually peaked on the day of Smartcon and then gave up its gains in the following weeks. We can see in 2021, a similar thing happened. Two days before Smartcon, Chainlink peaked. And then after the conference, we saw a huge post -conference dump. Will the same pattern play out? Well, not necessarily, but I am convicted in the case leaning towards a dump post -Smartcon just given the price action that we've seen recently in line with previous data. So I'm convicted if I have to pick between longing and shorting Chainlink, but I think there is a decent short setup brewing here if it does push into the upper echelon of its range territory here on the weekly. And also, as you can see on the daily too, it's firmly within this range, actually approaching the mid -range zone. Maybe we get one last thrust into Smartcon because we know that the conference doesn't start until October 2nd. So that is still a week away. So I expect price performance probably to continue to the upside over the next few days. But then leading into the conference, if you are looking for a short, this may actually be a good one if those RSIs start to get into overheated territory just given what has happened in the past for Chainlink. So that is on my watch list, not as a long, but actually as a short, just playing the range here. We know if you take trades towards the extremity of the range, you're getting much better risk -reward. So the extremities being the upper echelon here near range high and the lower echelon here close to range low. These are your major levels that you want to take swing trades at considering since May 2022, more than a year Chainlink has been in this range. Very, very boring coin, pretty much a stable coin, but has provided great opportunities to those that have been able to long close to support and short close to resistance here. So maybe a setup starting to prime here on the short side if we continue to push upwards. Why wouldn't I long? Well, considering what's happened in previous conferences in line with the recent massive move that we've had, I think you may be longing into an area where it's going to be hard for Chainlink to push any higher. So that's that. All right, now we're going to have a bit of fun. Going to give away some money. So I'm making bold. Five users going to close my eyes actually to make sure I'm not accused of manually picking the users here. All right, I've just highlighted five people in bold. All of you guys are going to win $200. Bang, just like that. So every single person, this wallet here, this wallet here, this wallet here, here and here. If you are in bold, you are going to win $200. We're going to send it directly to your wallet. And that is because you provided liquidity on SmartX. So as you know, every single week, we are airdropping $200 to five random people that provide at least $50 worth of liquidity into SmartX across either Arbitrum, BNB, Base or Polygon. If you don't know what SmartX is, it's essentially an AMM -powered DEX, which is solving the problem of impermanent loss in crypto. A big problem to mitigate the negative effects of impermanent loss and also provide some pretty nice yield opportunities for people that are looking to earn yield on assets like Matic, like Arbitrum, like Ethereum, like BNB and all sorts of assets. USDC also, you compare with their native coin as well. So depending on what risk you want to assume, depending on which tokens you hold, you can stake it into the platform to earn some pretty nice APRs between 20 and up to 50 plus percent. And yeah, if you deposit minimum $50 liquidity and you enter your wallet address using the link in the description, you will enter the giveaway to be one of these lucky people that just won $200 on the show today. So link in the description. Good luck to everyone that is entering the competition for next week, where I will announce the next crop of five winners. And without further ado, let's get straight on with the show. The next coin I want to discuss is Arbitrum. Arbitrum is a really interesting one because they just announced their short -term initiative grant program, which is essentially a form of ecosystem stimulus. So we know when they did the airdrop, that was largely concentrated towards people that were using the Arbitrum chain, but actually now they are starting to help out the projects to incentivize them by essentially allocating some of their token supply towards the projects in the form of incentives grants. So what the projects can do is they can essentially bid for an airdrop. And if Arbitrum elects them via a DAO proposal, which is actually recently being completed, these projects will receive airdrops and then they can choose how they want to distribute those new tokens to their community. So I think that is a little bit of a catalyst to the Arbitrum ecosystem because we could see increased incentives across these platforms, which could obviously help attract some more TVL into the ecosystem. Next week, we also have Arbitrum Odyssey returning, which is also another initiative to get retail involved and you can earn rewards via that. As I said before, we've got this short -term incentive program launching with 50 million ARB, which is around $30 million being distributed to active Arbitrum protocols that apply for the grant. I think this will give the Arbitrum ecosystem a nice boost. I'm just looking at the chart here. Well, the chart looks ugly, but Arbitrum is at significantly discounted levels since it broke below this major dollar support region, which has been pretty strong support for Arbitrum since it first launched. So yes, technically Arbitrum doesn't look good price -wise, but I am maybe going to add a little bit to my bags this week. I have to decide whether I'm going to do that this week or whether I'm going to wait a couple of weeks. Nonetheless, I am definitely eyeing this as more of a spot trade, not a leverage trade because we're not at a key support level. My leverage trading scenario would probably kick in closer to this region if you do get like a confirmed reclamation. But until then, I'm definitely looking at the possibility of adding spot and that's why it makes my coins of the week, given it has a proprietary ecosystem catalyst, which comes in the form of the grants alongside heavily discounted prices heading into EIP 4844 later in the year. Another coin that's heading into EIP 44 being a layer 2 protocol is Optimism. But Optimism actually comes in as my short hedge of today's video. So you guys know in these watch lists, I don't just like to give long setups. I discussed Chainlink potentially being a short setup. Optimism as well, I think could potentially be a short hedge set up this week. What do I mean by short hedge? Well, a lot of you guys probably have relatively like long weighted portfolios, meaning like you're more long than you are net short. I mean myself, that's the case. And usually when I take longs in the market, that will put me in like a naked long position, meaning like I don't always like have a short hedge. But sometimes in markets that are looking kind of shaky, like right now when we get Bitcoin chopping and looking kind of weak, sometimes it's smart to have a hedge. So let's say you long three altcoins in a week. Sometimes it's good to pick like a specifically weak altcoin to hedge short against those other positions to get some sort of neutrality in case your trade goes wrong. Then you can kind of minimize the amount of risk you're taking. It's a strategy like all the top traders will use. And depending on your position size, you can even reach like Delta neutral territory with pair trades and all that sort of thing. But just to keep it really simple, I think Optimism has like a major unlock this week with over 3 % of the circulating supply hitting the market, $30 million worth of Optimism. The unlock event is in four days time. So this is a significantly big unlock for Optimism in what has been a pretty significant period for unlocks overall for the Optimism token. So in light of that, I mean, if you watch my video on token unlocks, search token unlocks, crypto banter, you should be able to watch that whole video. I explained what happens post major token unlocks. And typically what we see is despite peaks happening into unlocks, often the two weeks following the actual unlock date, we do see tokens tend to bleed and give up most of their gains. And if that plays out here on Optimism, then maybe we can expect like a rough couple of weeks from Optimism from a price perspective. So it's looking relatively weak. And if I look at the chart as well, we can see it put in its high here. It got rejected off this horizontal level at 1 .8 and it's made a lower high, another lower high, and looks to be rolling over again. If you start to clear these lows, then I think we could see further downside on Optimism. So those lows come in at the $1 .20 region. I'll just highlight them for you now. This level here, if you start to break below as we are now and you do confirm that breakdown, then Optimism could definitely be going lower. And for that reason, I would look at a short if we do get some sort of roll over here and a lower high start to firm up on the daily chart. But you could even look at it on the four hourly chart. Of course, you don't really want to take trades in the daily, use daily for your confluence, use one hourly, four hourly for your entries, depending on your timeframe. And yeah, Optimism definitely looking quite weak. So that is my short hedge of the week. So now let's get into a couple long scenarios because we've talked about two shorts. I've given you a long. Now let's talk about two more tokens that are more interested in longing that I am shorting. The first one is the OX token. Now for full disclosure, OpenX, the exchange, which is obviously powered by the OX token is an official show partner in today's video. I don't want you guys to get confused between the token and the partnership. I'm not paid to shield the token when I'm paid to promote the token. And I'm mentioning the token in a completely neutral light in today's video, just based on my personal thesis that has nothing to do with the partnership. Just want to make that very clear. The OX token though, the token itself, not the exchange, has, I mean, been significantly beaten down over the past few weeks. And this is because essentially a lot of users had locked up their OX tokens for three months after they bridged Flex, which was the coin Flex's exchange token over to the OpenX protocol and to stake OX tokens. And in light of that three months after they closed the bridge, you get a significant amount of unlocks because people are entering or coming out of their stake period. So when people come out of their stake period and they now have liquid OX, some people are going to choose to sell if they want to either take profits or just, you know, minimize risk on a maybe potentially oversized position that in tandem with users starting to receive their vested OX as part of the normal token distribution. We've kind of seen a lot of supply come onto the market over the last week. And this has resulted in a huge drawdown in the price from the 0 .7 region to the 0 .2 region. I mean, it's really been beaten down and I even took a loss on this cause I bought some OX and I staked it and I'm actually down on it. However, considering the staking ratio is still relatively high and there are a lot of people now going to be relocking for the long -term which reduces supply pressures. I do think that OX is starting to become a slightly more interesting look now at these heavily discounted prices if you do believe in the OpenX vision. And that vision is essentially, you know, of course, Carl Davies and Zhu Su but also betting on a protocol that's quite unique with its transparency features as well as the governance features of the platform which make it really unique for users like allowing you to, for example, stake OX and get its real -world assets in exchange for staking. So they do native airdrops. They've also been launching lots of tokens like really quickly. So they have this propensity to list tokens before any other exchange. So it's kind of like the degen exchange, I guess quite in tune with the market. And if you're betting on the redemption arc then OX does become an interesting bet. The volume on the exchange has been fairly strong $8 .5 billion trade volume since launch actually quite impressive. Average daily trade volume is around 100 mil on the seven day and or more than 100 mil on a seven day and 30 day timeframe. And actually 61 % of OX is staked and locked in the herd. So we are seeing some people after their unlock starting to actually relock OX tokens into the exchange. So look, you've got to make your own decision whether you wanna buy the token personally though not financial advice, but personally I will be adding some more to my bags and I'm gonna stake it as I staked a prior 10 ,000 OX might increase my position by let's say 30 % that would give me another 3000 OX. I'll probably go ahead and stake that. And that's my plan for the week but that's not financial advice. You don't have to do the same. And I wanna give full disclosure that OX is of course or OpenX not the OX token itself is a partner of the show. There's a link in the description to OpenX. If you do wanna check it out check out any information as well. And yeah, just thought I would mention that one because it's interesting getting a heavy discount if you do believe in the ecosystem, which I personally do. All right, let's get on to the next token. Another ecosystem I believe in and I believe in this one quite a lot. This is frack share. So I did a show last week. I think it was on real world assets and the potential. I mean, the sector is projected to grow by 26 X on the conservative side according to analysts at the Boston Consulting Group. On the more aggressive side of the spectrum they're anticipating 113 X in the real world asset sector by the year 2030. So that's seven years potentially looking at a 26 to 100 X. So this is a huge growth vertical and a massive adoption vertical for crypto really with tokenized assets coming on chain. And I'm always interested in protocols which are harnessing the potential of this. Now fracks isn't necessarily a real world asset specific protocol. They're doing a lot. They have their fracks land. They've got their fracks B3. They're launching fracks chain. They've got their stable coin. They've got a lot of stuff going on. They're essentially how I like to think of them as like a DeFi powerhouse. They're like the hand that controls DeFi, I guess. And is doing a bunch of stuff in multiple DeFi ecosystems. But if you're interested in real world asset exposure alongside a variety of other DeFi initiatives then I think fracks becomes a super interesting bet for a diversified portfolio. Now, the reason I'm talking about them in a watchlist video though, cause you know these Monday shows aren't just talking about long -term bets. Most of these are geared towards, you know the medium to short term type of trades is because fracks has its V3 actually completing its audit this week. So the fracks V3 audit means V3 is going to be on the horizon within the next few months. So that is an immediate catalyst for fracks as well as the fact that they could be getting an ARB grant because obviously their protocol is deployed across a variety of EVM chains, Arbitrum included meaning they could definitely get their hands on an Arbitrum grant, which would be another catalyst for the fracks protocol. So lots of stuff happening with the audit with the grant, with the new products that they're shipping fracks chain is also coming soon. So just lots to look forward to. And from a price action perspective it's been pretty resilient. Like we can see over the last 30 days it hasn't given up a lot of its gains. And even over the last 90 days, it has drawn down but it's only really dropped from, you know, 6 .8 to 5 .5 when a lot of other tokens have been smashed 30, 40, 50%. So yes, it's down, but it's not down as much as the rest of the market. And that tells me there's some sort of bid here for the fracks token at what is a discounted price versus a similar times last year. So fracks is an interesting one for me long -term mostly but in the short to medium term for me, this is a decent zone for me to add a little bit more fracks to my portfolio. And it's nice because it gives me DeFi exposure but it also gives me reward asset exposure. And it's a nice asset that I've just been DCA into over time. So that is a super interesting one. Let's just go through the market right now and actually look at Banta Bubbles and see if I can spot any that come to mind. Obviously I've given you a few trades in today's video but let's just see if there's anything else. Aptos actually does look interesting. It recently broke above some of the key horizontals that it was breaking down from over the past couple of months. So as a reversal trade, I definitely look into that. If I was a trader, I was even considering taking along today on it. I missed it unfortunately, but if we do get a pullback I might get into that one. So that's what I'm looking at. IMX not too interested in, let's just see on the weekly curve. Lots of stuff happening on curve but overall leans bearish with the amount of sell pressure in my opinion. FTT is a volatile one that if you're a trader you could definitely look at day trading. We know that there's lots of stuff happening with FTT given that the court case is currently underway and lots of the tokens now are changing hands and some are being sold. So it's quite interesting to see what actually happens here. We also saw some stuff happening with FTT and Binance as well. So those are kind of the coins from Banta Bubbles that I would keep my eye on. Another project to keep my eye on that's actually going to be launching soon is Serenity Shield. Now, Serenity Shield is a partner of the show that has a very interesting product launching soon. They're essentially launching a product which is referred to as the strongbox. Now, the strongbox is your ultimate security protocol for you to be able to store your assets in a decentralized, immutable and secure way. So if you want to store your assets but not have to worry about exploitation risk, not have to worry about ownership of keeping it on a centralized exchange, you can keep it in the strongbox protocol which is built purely for security to encrypt your data and encrypt your assets. But there are a couple really interesting features which they're introducing to make self -custody easier for the average user. One of them is the recover feature which enables users to have peace of mind knowing that their data is available using their recovery software without needing a hardware wallet which is available 24 -7. That's a good one because I don't know if you've ever been in this situation before but I have where I've lost a ledger and I can't find the seed phrase and I've been scrambling to redeem my assets. That's actually happened. I don't know if it's happened to you but if I had my assets in the strongbox that wouldn't have been an issue. The transfer function though I think is probably the most novel and maybe a kind of weird one to talk about since it's talking about inheritance which sometimes implies the death of yourself or potentially a family member but this does solve a massive problem in crypto and that's what happens if something happens to you. What happens to your tokens? What happens to your crypto? Are they easily accessible? Well in strongbox what you can do is you can put in a designated nominee and you can choose where your assets go if something were to happen to you to transfer your wealth down to your nominee. So it is quite interesting that they have this function inbuilt. It might be specifically attractive to adopt maybe the older generation that's actively thinking about this and they might hold bitcoin or ethereum but want those assurances and securities. They could leverage a protocol like strongbox that essentially enables them to have peace of mind over their assets and the transfer of those assets. So it's super interesting. You can see a little example of the platform in front of you. I will be using the platform on the show over the next few weeks to test it out for you but if you want to get involved right now they have a $50 ,000 search rewards pool. They recently had their token IDO, their sale to allow people to buy the token. If you want to get your hands on the token and you can do so via the airdrop all you need to do is click the link in the description and you can take part in the incentivized testnet for the strongbox dapp which is powered by the bnb chain. So all you need to do is essentially test out the application. You've got four days to do so using the link in the description and you could get an airdrop of some tokens. So not a bad one. If you just want to spend a few minutes of time there I will leave a link to this post which has a full tutorial and all the links needed in the description below and also in the comments as well to help you out. And yeah okay well that's pretty much the video. I got through it in a shorter amount of time. If you notice I'm speaking quickly it's because I want to get the info to you. We have the Bitcoin price which is currently leaning bearish but still at a major support but below the 200ma. You've got Chainlink which I'm looking at a short post conference. You've got Arbitrum which is interesting with its incentives grant. You have Optimism which I think is relatively bearish heading into a pretty significant token unlock. I just don't know if market conditions right now can absorb that amount of sell pressure. You've got Ox which I think is an interesting spot play considering a lot of the selling has now happened and we're looking forward to what hopefully is a slightly better period for the token with you know in the face of a lot of unlocks. You've got Frax Share launching their V3 and also their Frax Chain. This is one that I've been DCAing into and you've got the Serenity Shield airdrop as well. So that's the video. I'm going to see you in the next one which will be tomorrow. I really hope you enjoyed. I've actually been testing out a lot of training bots so I'm going to get back to testing out my training bots right now and I'm tweaking some strategies. That video will be coming very very soon. Very excited for that one but until then I'll see you later. Peace out.

A highlight from These Altcoins Are In Big Trouble! (Major Token Unlocks) | *How To Profit*
"We're talking about token unlocks today very misunderstood in crypto people hear the word token unlock and they start to seize up They get all nervous tense. They think prices are going to dump but in today's video I want to explain the upcoming token unlocks that we actually have hitting the market and I want to take an analytical look a deep dive into how this could actually affect the market because I have gone through the data and Have a pretty concrete idea of how different unlocks actually end up affecting price And of course, it's going to create so many trading opportunities for you on the long side on the short side But also if you're a long -term accumulator of tokens, you know with you know, pretty steep vesting schedules this can present huge opportunities So I think it's gonna be a pretty valuable show and if you do enjoy more educational style content like this Make sure to smash the thumbs up button So I'm gonna use this week to contextualize the current state of unlocks in the market over the course of this week We have six major unlocks comprising around 80 million dollars worth of Capital that is coming onto the market ape with 11 % of their supply is the main one You've got Lido at point 2 % of their supply as a secondary one You've got Aptos as well with 2 % sweat tokens flow talk with tokens and EUL all hitting the market now There's an amazing website that I think you should be using basically every single week to keep on top of the token unlocks and it's called token app unlocks so token unlocks dot they're not sponsoring the show It's just an application that I personally use to stay on top of the unlocks And what it shows you is the unlocks as you can see in the right There's a corresponding column which shows you the date that an unlock takes place It shows you all the unlocks in the market the percentage of their supply that is dumping and where the supply is coming from Super valuable information now We're hitting a very critical inflection point when it comes to crypto unlocks because many of the tokens in the market are now Starting to mature and we typically know that when projects structure their token omics They tend to skew the more steep part of their cliffs for the mid one to two year period Of the project or the tokens existence So what we're seeing now with a lot of projects that were launching in 2020 2021 When the bull market vibes are on and there was lots of funding coming into the market a lot of those projects And now starting to hit their mid supply curve. For example, you've got dy dx with significant unlocks You've got eight coin with significant unlocks optimism with significant unlocks all these claims that are unlocking significant percentages of their supplies Tend to launch in that 2020 to 2021 period and because that was the bull market you have a lot of tokens during that period That were laying out their vesting schedules and this of course has huge ramifications for the prices of these tokens And as I said starts to create trading opportunities off the back of that So how do token unlocks actually affect price in the market? Is it an instant death sentence for a token that causes a huge dump or is there this kind of phenomenon called a bullish unlock? Which ends up meaning an unlock is fully priced into the market Well, there's data that when I looked into this actually was pretty unexpected to me That kind of gives you a good scope of what actually happens when there's a token unlock So I'm gonna read through the research here large crypto token unlocks drive price lower within two weeks research suggests So let's talk about this right now new research by analytics firm The Thai shows coins on average and they've looked through all the major unlock coins over the last few years Declined in the lead -up to the event of the actual unlock However, when the liquidity freed up represented more than 100 % of the average daily volume Prices quickly recovered only to fall deeper within two weeks following the unlock and we're going to get into this with real examples in a second So what they're saying here is that when the amount of liquidity? exceeds the amount of the average daily trading volume that you can get simply by going on coin gecko for example if we want to Work out the trading volume of ape we search up a coin and we can see here The daily trading volume is 63 million if the unlock for ape actually exceeds this amount of 63 million then they affirm that prices quickly recover But then they fall deeper within two weeks following the unlock and this firm has gone through 350 ,000 individual token on the unlocks to come up with this data Let's look at this graph and talk about what it means because I believe it's one of the biggest pieces of alpha I've found in the market honestly in the last week because unlocks are everywhere every token you're likely buying or selling has an unlock This is how crypto tokens fund themselves. They unlock onto the market They sell this enables them to generate liquidity for their treasury this enables them to to incentivize advisors market makers Etc without dumping their price by launching all at once now There are some tokens like uni what for example which have executed fair launches Which means well basically they launch all at once and then they're 100 % of their tokens are in supply This can work but for projects that are trying to bring on investors. It obviously doesn't make sense So most of the bigger projects in the market with big VC backing do have unlocks because this is how VCs are able to Recoup their initial investment without hurting the token price too much in the short term But as you'll see in a second it actually ends up hurting the price in the long term in cases where the unlock Represented more than 100 % of average daily volume as we just asserted prices tend to rebound faster But only for a brief period this could be attributed to traders feeling relieved that the unlock did not flood the market with new tokens Immediately within Nonetheless two weeks prices of tokens facing such significant unlocks fell below their initial levels at the time of the unlock this may suggest that holders preferred to wait a few days before selling into the market this essentially Debunks the bullish unlock theory. So there's this theory floating around in the market that token unlocks are bullish And yes in a bull market when liquidity is running rampant and people are you know? Ramping onto crypto and speculating into coins and money's flowing in Oftentimes unlocks are bullish because the market in general is bullish, right? But in neutral periods and bearish periods and just on average across all periods which should you know Get rid of those extremities on the highs and the extremities on the lows It does tend to negatively impact price and this is a major misconception in the market that has been like statistically debunked now Through this report that tokens actually perform worse out of unlocks I mean who would have thought right but this is what happens if this is the math that we see here So this graph which I think is just pure alpha shows the unlocks by size shows the average normalized price of a token Let's say like a dollar and ten cents and shows based on the volume Representative of the token versus the unlock size how it performs and we can see what we saw from large Tokens which are tokens where the unlock outweighs their trading volume So it's bigger than their trading volume these large tokens tend to bounce So this zero period is the amount of days post unlock they tend to bounce in price But then two weeks later start to correct and this isn't just one example as I said This is taking three hundred fifty thousand tokens and analyzing it Now the interesting thing is the small section and the aggregate section shows that smaller unlocks So unlocks all like small size that aren't outpacing, you know The average daily trading volume this tends to bottom out on the unlock date and then they tend to recover in the weeks following so What this tells us is the size of the unlock? Dictates the price action of the unlock So if an unlock is really big it tends to bounce a lot quicker because investors start feeling relieved Like think about the psychological component here But then the real weight of the selling pressure starts to impact on the market and then over the next couple weeks You start to see the real impact start to hit whereas with smaller unlocks So unlocks which don't outweigh the average daily volume It tends to actually bottom out just before and on the unlock date But you don't see that huge bounce that huge bullish unlock, you know phenomenon that we see you see a slow Grind up a slow recovery and then sometime after that, you know You may see a decline but 20 days after the event that should give us like a rough scope of how an unlock affects the market Alright, let's go practical now Let's look at some of the major unlocks in the market and let's learn how to actually make money using Token unlock so looking through the market what you should do is you should identify Tokens that you're interested in because unlocks as I said, they create opportunities in the short term They also create opportunities in the long term You can go through the list and work out which tokens you're interested in trading like you've got dy dx here You've got ape you've got optimism If you're interested in stacking these there definitely is opportunities to get in during these windows where you see these massive declines and based on The size of the unlock that is going to dictate when you actually choose to get in So a token that has a bigger unlock for example like an apron optimism You may choose to wait for a bit of a bleed and then get in get in around the 15 to 20 day mark Whereas with a smaller unlock as you can see, there are some really tiny ones like Lido is pretty small Uni is pretty small these unlocks can basically Rebound are slowly over time post unlock and make the actual unlock date or just before the unlock date where some of the bearishness is Being priced in that can be an opportunity to accumulate So the token unlocks app does an amazing job of actually doing full reports on all coins So I want to give you a bit of alpha here If you go onto the website and you click on the insights tab now some are paid But some are free if you click on the insights tab, you can scroll down and actually view Individual token unlock reports and this is alpha especially if you're interested in Accumulating any of these tokens or trading any of these tokens It gives you like a great summary of what they anticipate is going to happen with price based on previous prices For example on the ape coin unlock here You can see that in March they did a hundred and thirty four point eight million dollar unlock in September They have an equal unlock and then in April through to August. It was a much smaller unlock So when you're analyzing the ape coin Price performance you wouldn't want to compare this week's unlock with an April unlock because it's just so much bigger, right? It makes more sense to compare the September unlock with the March unlock So what you can do is you can scroll down and you can see well if we go back to March How did price actually react to the unlock? Well, it had a small pump in and then it bled then it had a rally and then it bled again So you can start to look at what the previous unlocks of similar size actually did in the market And the ape coin unlocks do line up with this phenomenon that we're seeing from the token research here You can see we get pumps into the unlock then it bleeds And then we see that rally into the next unlock and this happened basically every unlock We saw the pump then it bleeds and then it pumps again. So we know what the phenomenon is Assuming that the unlock was big which I know it was for ape versus its trading volume We know that they they actually pump into the unlock and then their big dump happens over the next couple months We can see this exhibited multiple times on the ape coin chart here. So that's why this token unlock section is so powerful So if you do want to trade like any old coin, of course and take advantage of the strategy I want to give you a reminder that if you're looking for a Dex look no further than G trade a Decentralized permissionless protocol that allows you to trade and they also have a function one -click trading So literally trade with one click on a variety of trading pairs. So all coins Bitcoin Ethereum commodities They Forex have as well So if you want to trade anything on a Dex and of course keep self custody of your own assets Which is so important in crypto and still get the benefit of being able to use leverage and set a stop -loss and take profit Of course and set limit orders short long, whatever you want to do. Um, you can do so on G trade across polygon or arbitrum There's a link in the description to check it out thought I would mention that because yeah A lot of these tokens that I'm discussing today's video They are available on Dex's like G trade to actually trade if you're taking more of the short -term angle now I want to take more of the long -term angle and look at how can you take advantage of unlocks if you're bullish on a token? So let's say you you scroll through the list. You're bullish on Optimism you're bullish on sui and you want to accumulate long -term. How can you use these events to position yourself? Long -term and get better entry opportunities for your long -term portfolio So for investors typically the weeks following a big unlock are a great place to buy the tokens if you're bullish on the long -term prospects of the token Especially if you do see that phenomenon where it sells for two to three weeks after the unlock Especially in a bearish environment like this all coins a lot of them versus their PTC pairs are bleeding Bitcoin is a little bit shaky. The market is relatively apathetic So these unlocks are starting to affect the market more in these conditions So the effects of unlocks are always based on the market conditions in which the unlocks take place and in this market You will see some of these sell -offs that we've been discussing be slightly more severe And because of this these can give you great buying opportunities So I recommend scroll through the list look at if there's a token with a big unlock and start to just pinpoint the dates on Your trading view so you can literally go on to trading view. Let's say, you know, we want to Set a date for optimism. What you can do is click on your trading list You can search up optimism and you can start putting in these Vertical lines which indicate when the next major unlock is happening So if we go on to token unlocks we scroll down We see optimism has a major unlock in 17 days on the 30th of September We can map out the 30th of September on our chart by using one of these vertical lines as we can see here Okay we put it in on the 30th and now we have a red line which shows us when the unlock happens and What you can do is you can kind of track where the price starts to falter In the two to three week period following this unlock that would then be potentially a decent zone for you to buy if you can map confluence with your Horizontal levels and you can do this for any altcoin so if you do see let's say the token price do what happens with these big unlocks typically and Pump afterwards and then start to bleed then you can look to accumulate in this period here if you get good Horizontal confluence so that is one strategy that you can use faults that is more from an investor standpoint If you want to short you can definitely take advantage of shorting these pumps if they happen post unlock and you can also map that Out with your confluence So let's say it pumps into this area and you're seeing like a major resistance in this zone and then it starts to come under You get a bearish underside retest and then it starts to roll over Well, this could be your short entry on the retest to get in such as one example Like very basic of how you can use this but token unlocks from an investor and a trader standpoint Are very very valuable and what you can also do alongside just basic ta is actually use momentum indicators So let's use the optimism example again You can go onto an application like Kyber AI which is like your ultimate AI on chain trading platform Click on optimism and see what the momentum is like for the coin at that time If you start to see after two weeks the token pump and then start to roll over a little bit and you're looking for let's You can look at the Kyber score and see if the bullish momentum of that token is starting to tick into the bearish territory So you might see the last like for Kyber scores coming bullish and then you might see the momentum starting to tick bearish Using their on chain analysis function when that starts to happen Which is likely indicative of cells outpacing buys on chain The on chain indicators can tell you first before the centralized exchanges catch up whether that altcoin is starting to get bearish Momentum and that can be a great peak data point for consulates to get into a short setup and Similarly after an unlock takes place if you want to buy optimism long term But you want to be a bit more picky with your entry then you can do the same thing You look for bearish momentum tick into bullish momentum like it's exhibiting right now And if that maps up with our net buyers starting to position themselves on chain Then that can give you an indicator alongside an uptick in trading volume that you should be getting in So always look for momentum shifts in crypto and this can help you get better entries So if you don't want to use Kyber AI for any of that, there's a link in the description We have an early access pass for people that want to use that link. You do need to get approved. I'm sorry It's not instant approval But I promise you it's worth the wait because it's been an amazing application and I want to thank them for partnering with the show Because yeah, it's an application that I regularly use in my trading But I thought I'd just mention it in the context of this video Because it's super relevant for using an application like this to help you get entries. So pretty much with unlocks there there is like a lot of nuance, but what you need to know is Have your finger on the pulse in terms of tracking them Make sure to utilize the reports at your disposal through an application like token unlocks. There are free ones There are paid ones if you don't want to pay that's completely fine Like they're not a sponsor of the show or anything You can kind of use this framework for mapping volume versus the size of the unlock and if it fits within this Of course, it's not going to happen like this every time but on aggregate if you trade, you know Based on this assumption then on average you'll probably end up ahead given the fact there's a sample size here of three hundred and fifty thousand Given, you know, they've done extensive research. So obviously sometimes there are outliers Sometimes the project might announce news before an unlock to pump the price Sometimes the market will just react differently due to like a switch in market conditions But generally if you follow the blueprint you will come out ahead in the long term Market conditions do play a huge factor in a bullish market unlocks are like always the best buying Opportunities in a bear market unlocks are often the best shorting opportunities because you have to consider the weight that some of these unlocks can have on the market when the buyers are apathetic because when buyers don't want to step in and protect price and you have additional supply dumping in a bear market that is a Recipe for disaster a lot of the time but in a bull market that's often a recipe for buying the dip So you probably want to take the short side more than the long side in a bear market And you want to take the long side more than the short side in a bull market So important to wrap your head around that concept Bitcoin actually has quite a bit of overhang. I'm speaking about Bitcoin for a second They've got the US government Silk Road Bitcoin. They've got the Mt. Gox Bitcoin or they've got the FTX Bitcoin as well Which is going to be start to be liquidated soon So there is a fair bit of supply overhang in general if we could continue to see bearish market conditions And we do get some of these like unlocked overhangs, you know Just supply increases hitting the market then that could be a reason that Bitcoin starts to correct but given the fact we're heading into 2024 when we've got like major catalysts like the Bitcoin spot ETF You know the ETH ETF the Bitcoin halving potential rate cut rate cuts on the horizon those all can be opportunities To take advantage of the unlocks in the meantime So when you know the destination it becomes easy to play the game in the short to medium term If you're a long -term investor, so just thought I would add that as well in the context of Bitcoin, too So yeah, maybe we went with a bearish tile today Figured out what my thumbnail is but if it is just know it can be bearish on but it also can be bullish and hopefully this video can act as a bit of a framework for you to be able to contextualize and then apply or token unlock trading to your own trading stuff, hopefully this video helps if it did smash the thumbs up button and subscribers in order to subscribe and of course We have a link to games if you want to trade in a decentralized manner in the description and a link to Kyber If you want to sign up to execute the AI strategy that I discussed on today's show I will see you later.
Bankless
A highlight from David's Takes: The Burning Man Network State
"Bankless nation welcome to David's takes where every single week I drop a take in the bankless newsletter And I read it to you here on the bankless podcast One take about once a week on something that I've been thinking about lately that I want to share with you all the bankless nation This week's take is a big take. This is one of the larger longer articles I've written in a while and it's because there's so much to say this week. We're talking about burning man Yep, this take is about understanding burning man through the crypto lens Burning man for crypto people if you will and maybe on the surface at a cursory glance. You're like WTF What does crypto have to do with burning man burning man isn't for me? I don't care about that. And if that's your response, that is totally fine this piece is not written to convince you to go to burning man or Become a burner or live anything like that life You are free to remain exclusively committed to whatever lifestyle that you already have yet nonetheless The burning man movement is worthy of your understanding There are lessons and knowledge to be gained here in understanding why burning man is a thing and what powers it Burning man and crypto are cut from the same cloth. We are parallel movements So if you never intend on going to burning man But you're still intellectually curious about what goes on there and want to learn about how to fit it into your pre -existing Models for understanding crypto then this piece is for you. So listen on strap yourself in But first I want to talk about some of these fantastic sponsors that make this show possible extra Thanks to Kraken our preferred exchange for crypto in 2023 whether you are dollar -cost averaging into crypto to prepare for the bull market Or you're taking profits out of crypto Be sure to do it with Kraken the newly designed Kraken Pro makes it super easy to do both your basic financial Transactions while also taking your trading to the next level Kraken Pro is truly the trading UX that you've always wanted So if your bull market archetype is the trader class you need Kraken Pro in your toolkit But if your character class is more of a DeFi journeyman or woman then MetaMask portfolio is the tool for you MetaMask portfolio is your DeFi multi -chain battle station any asset on any ethereum layer to MetaMask portfolio will present it to you So don't get caught for getting assets or missing opportunities Make sure you're prepared for the bull run by prepping your MetaMask portfolio moving on from tools You need to playing fields to play on the arbitrum layer 2 is one of the main arenas in which this bull market will be Fought on whether your character class is a DeFi DJ and airdrop hunter or healed seeker the arbitrum Colosseum is where a ton of the action is going to be So whether you're on arbitrum 1 for defying NFTs or arbitrum Nova for web 3 gaming or a new frontier on arbitrum using an arbitrum Orbit chain there are so many opportunities to sink your teeth into but as we know the ethereum roll -up centric roadmap produces all kinds of layer twos and mantle is one of the newest layer twos on the scene with some of The newest technology that ethereum layer twos has to offer in the year 2023 mantle is built using the op stack but uses eigen layers Data availability solution instead of the expensive ethereum layer one reducing gas fees by 80 % compared to other layer twos with billions of dollars standing By from bit down to invest in mantle Make sure you stay ahead of the game by building and growing your on -chain footprint on mantle Let's not forget about the ETH staking character class and stator makes it easy running a staking pool with stator just requires For ether for a deposit letting you charge a fee to the remaining 28 ether that uses your node to stake their ease Increasing your yield by 35 % stators staked ether token ETH X allows you to stake your ether and use it in DeFi at the same Time for all you DeFi swappers out there This one is for you.
CRYPTO 101
A highlight from Ep. 562 Our New Co-Host A Crypto Analyst Joins the Team!
"All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast. It is a big, big day in Crip Nation. Man, sound the alarms, bang the pots in the pans because it is a momentous occasion. We are joined by a new co -host, or I should say I am joined by a new co -host, Brendan Veman, who has been working with us behind the scenes at extreme length for the past two years. He's getting called up to the big leagues. So, Brendan, dude, welcome to the Crypto 101 Podcast. This is your new home, brother. Welcome. Hey, excited to be here. Like Bryce said, it's crazy because I've been working with you guys for almost two years now, and it's been awesome. Excited to come to the forefront. Excited to connect with more people in the cryptocurrency space and preach the great gospel that is crypto and blockchain. Yeah, dude, this is awesome. I'm so, so pumped. I learned so much from you, so I view this as just great for opportunity this podcast to just get kicked up to another level. I've been following you for a long time. I'm very pleased that you've been choosing to work with us. Man, we're going to have an awesome time. I want to make this episode all about you. I know that we've had you on previous episodes, so I think anybody who has been watching religiously for the past couple months or so, they've for sure run into you. But I want to have them all hear it from the horse's mouth. So, Brendan, this is your episode. We're going to introduce you to Crypt Nation if they don't already know you. So I'm going to ask you some questions. You feel good about that? You feel okay revealing a little bit about who you are? Yeah, I'm ready for the barrage of questions to begin. Awesome. Let's just start off high level. So what do you do? Who are you? What do you currently do? How did you make it on the Crypto 101 podcast? Yeah, man. So I started off in the early days of Bitcoin. My realization point or what got me interested is that I found this thing early. A lot of people around me had unpopular opinions, or maybe at the time it was popular opinions, but they were more anti -crypto. That motivated me and inspired me to really dig into this thing more. And so I did. And so as the years went on, like a little hot button issue, and you were like, oh, this is kind of getting people's gears going. There must be something here. Is that kind of what it is? Yeah. I mean, exactly. Like at the time, Bitcoin was worth a couple of times more than what the US dollar was. And it was this asset that just stood out. And me being the curious individual that I was, was like, hey, this is making people angry. It has a crazy pairing against fiat currencies. Like, let's really explore this thing. That's where I found my base. And so as the technology expanded and grew over the years as blockchain tech really begin to kind of, I guess, show its fruits. And then you had Litecoin and Ethereum and Monero and all those early stage cryptos really began to show just how versatile and helpful blockchain could be. That is when my interest in crypto went from just kind of this side interest, the side hobby to like, hey, this is going to really change the world as we know it. And that leads me to starting the crypto analyst YouTube channel in 2017. That's how I found you. Yeah. And I, and I'll tell you why I started that originally because I had so many people around me not understanding crypto. Crypto wasn't super mainstream yet. It was a kind of on that brink of that big bull run that it had, but I was still getting the same questions asked to me all the time. And I'm - I'm pre -recording answers for family and friends, go to my YouTube channel, and then it just kind of caught fire. I mean, exactly. That's kind of what it came down to is, here are all the answers that you're going to ask me anyway. And so that's really why the YouTube channel originated, but also because I love talking about it. I loved it. I believed in it. And also I didn't want to answer the same stuff all the time. So I was like, boom, YouTube channel is born. And that was like my real step, like full time. I'm into this thing. I'm committed. Like, here we go. And you know, man, I've ran that every single year. I mean, I have over 750 public videos now since 2017. We're at 10 ,000 subscribers. Like it's grown into a really cool thing. And, you know, occasionally I still see people that are from the very early days of that come around and they're like, Hey, Brendan. And it's great to see the community go strong as we are over here. So, you know, we're going from one strong community to another and the mission is still the same. Yeah. No. And it's been awesome working with you for the past couple of years here. And for folks who are listening, you don't know, behind the scenes, we've got, you know, premium subscriber only content that we roll out every single day, every single week. Brendan has been hosting live streams with me. He's been doing all sorts of amazing, you know, written and video content for the Crypto 101 University video course that we have. So if you want to check all that stuff out, we will link to it in the show notes. All the stuff we've been working on and the Crip Nation private group, guys, it's an incredible community that Brendan and I have been building up for, you know, along with our whole team here for the past several years. And we're so excited to be bringing Brendan to the Crypto 101 podcast. And with that being said, Brendan, I want to ask a little bit of a lightning round sort of rapid fire question and answer. How do you feel about that? I kind of prepared some things. I know I didn't show you ahead of time. I want it to be surprising. Does that sound okay? Let the surprises begin. I will do my best. Okay. I've got a long list. And so this is going to go quick. And when I say one word answer, I mean, one word answer. I don't want you to go off off the rails or anything. Maybe if you need two words or I'll give you three is the most. Okay. No tangents. Okay. No tangents. So I'm going to start easy and then I'm going to ramp up. So first is like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Ethereum. Okay. And by the way, I almost started the tangent I'm breaking my rules, but these will definitely inform all of us of really who you are and how you think. And this is on the record. So I want you to know that. So you say Ethereum, the next question I had after that was proof of stake or proof of work. What do you think is better? See the one world answers are already killing me here. We'll go with proof of stake. I'm sorry everyone out there. Then you choose proof of stake, which is the consensus model that it uses. Whereas Bitcoin uses proof of work. Let me ask you when you're analyzing the crypto markets, if you had to choose one technical analysis or fundamental analysis. Man, technical is all the way. I'm a trader at heart. Yeah. What I always say is price is the final arbiter. Price knows everything. Good fundamentals kind of put you in the same place as good technicals. So price should have all the information. So I would probably side with you on that one. Let me ask you this, trading or holding, what is your style? Trading. I'm a trader at heart. Okay. You're quick hot potato. Timeframe trading daily or monthly? Daily. Okay. Making trades daily, closing positions out. Leverage or no leverage? Oh, one word answer to this one. Leverage yes or no. We'll go with no leverage. No leverage anymore. Honestly, a man after my own heart. I've always advocated to stay away from the leverage. There's a great quote that it's like a Warren Buffett quote about the way people go broke is like ladies, liquor and leverage. And that's like the three ways that men go broke, ladies, liquor and leverage. So stay away from the leverage. But let me ask you this, what's your favorite exchange? Kraken recently. Okay. Kraken. I'm a big Kraken fan, but favorite wallet. I'm going to roll with MetaMask. I'm going to roll with MetaMask. I don't think I expected that. I don't think I expected anybody to like MetaMask, but here we are. God bless them. Everybody uses them. I think they've been getting better. Yeah. They've been getting better. I agree. And I have to say recently I've been liking treasure wallets. Obviously they're safer, but I've been really digging them, especially more than the nano ledgers. I have both and treasure has been standing out to me. Okay. I like it. It's a hot take. Trezor. T -R -E -Z -O -R. Kind of a play on words of like a treasure chest, right? Where all your crypto gets stored. Let me ask you this, Brendan, your favorite dap, and I'll restrict it to your favorite dap. DeFi Okay. Hot take here as well. I'm going to roll with, I think most people would expect maybe like Uniswap, but I'll roll with Osmosis here. I'll throw a wrench in everything. Hold the door. Hold the door. I did not expect it. I did not see that coming. That's a great pick though. The cosmos decks, the cosmos DeFi one -stop shop. Osmosis. Hot pick.
THE EMBC NETWORK
A highlight from How your Brain Works (Series) (E7)
"Well there, good evening, my favorite friends! And associates and colleagues dropping in tonight. If you are new to the stream, well, every single week from basically Saturday to Friday, we take a topic and we explore it and every single day I give you some more valuable nuggets about how you can improve the quality of your life and everyone else in it. If you're coming back, well welcome! It is great to have you back on my motivational stream here. So if you've been following us, first of all, show me some love, would you? On Facebook, like, support. John C. Morris, your entrepreneur on LinkedIn, support and insight a curious mark or other thing would be great. On YouTube, subscribe or do what's great. Hit that bell notification icon. If you're on Twitch, Twitter or Periscope, show us some love there. And hey, why not comment? What do you feel about this content? I mean, it is revolutionary. I've had remarks from people saying, John, this is amazing. I'm traveling. I've got to catch up on this. So tonight we're going to talk about how the brain works. And we're going to talk about something interesting called anchoring. Anchoring a state. Now, I don't know if you've ever heard of that before when somebody mentions anchor, a lot of people think of anchor like an anchor on a boat. Okay. And so when you think about that, you know, the anchor goes down and it holds the boat in one place. So what does an anchor do? So how, let's see, so how do you create an anchor in your mind? How do you do that? Well, the easiest way to do it is to have a certain state. And when you anchor yourself, here's what happens. You put yourself back into another state. Now, we all know that sometimes people are going to have ups, they're going to have downs. I mean, that's part of life. There's some roller coasters, there's some great moments, there's some little bit low moments, and then there's some back up again and back and forth. Now, the key to being successful in life, I tell people this all the time, is that you need to make sure that you're staying in a peak successful state as much as possible. But how do you get back in a peak state when people keep, I don't know, pulling you one way or doing things to you that are not appropriate? How do you get back in the state? All right, let's think about this for a moment. You can close your eyes and keep open, I don't mind. And let's say right now that you have a goal in your mind, maybe it's to have more money. Maybe it's a relationship, whatever it is, I want you to think about that goal right now. And I want yourself to ask, what would it feel like if, if I had the perfect relationship? If I had all the money, and I never had to worry again in my life? If I had the greatest health that just kept getting better and better every day? What would that feel like to you? What would it look like to you? Think about that for a moment. All right. Imagine right now that from whatever you're doing, you'd be able to just enter a state of bliss. Right now, I bet you're feeling pretty bliss, right? So just keep thinking about all the things you do either with that money or with that health or your relationship. What are you going to do in your life? What are you going to do? Think about it. Picture it. Are you going to go on a trip? Are you going to go to a restaurant? Are you going to go have a good time? What are you going to do? What are you going to do with that? And if you say to me, John, I don't know, well, then you need to daydream. You see, because if your why is not loud enough, your brain's not going to work for you. I mean, that's just the truth, right? So thinking about all these great things, and I'm sure you're starting to feel really good right now, I'm sure.
Real Estate Coaching Radio
A highlight from Real Estate Agents: Super Simple 4 Step Social Media Action Plan
"Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, starring award -winning real estate coaches and number one international bestselling authors, Tim and Julie Harris. This is the number one daily radio show for realtors looking for a no BS, authentic, real time coaching experience. What's really working in today's market, how to generate more leads, make more money and have more time for what you love in your life. And now your hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. Three, two, one, and Julie Harris, we are back. Yes we are, and in fact, today we're talking about an exciting topic that everybody's going to want to listen to, whether you were licensed yesterday or a grizzled veteran, doesn't matter. Today we're talking about what realtors should post on social media that will actually bring you quality buyer and seller leads. We're talking primarily about your posts on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook today. We talk a lot about what not to post, like anything political or overly opinionated, so I thought it would be appropriate to do a podcast about what you should be posting. And this is going to be four very quick points that are designed to make it so that even if you're not doing any social media posting, this will motivate you to do so because you're going to realize it's not necessarily about people eating their lunch and constant stream of narcissism and the rest of it. The social media, when done correctly, reinforces your proactive lead generation, and in a lot of cases it can reinforce your getting a list appointment or having a buyer choose to work with you. But before we get to that, Julie and I have been discussing our coaching clients this week and what they're experiencing in the marketplace, and Julie and I are blessed to have some of the nation's top agents as personal coaching clients. We have for decades at this point, and it's very interesting. There's a big bifurcation that's happening at the very top end of the market that Julie and I thought you would all want to hear more details on because everyone talks about the average agent who's selling less than 10 houses a year and the rest of it. Well here's what's going on at the top end of the market, and I think a lot of you, again, will be glad to hear that what they're experiencing is similar to what you're experiencing, just amplified. So Julie, you and I are just discussing this right before I hit record, and one of the conclusions that we came to was that the agents that are trying to build momentum right now are having a harder time rebuilding momentum or building momentum versus the agents who have essentially made a lifestyle of doing what they didn't want to do when they didn't want to do it at the highest level for long periods of time. In other words, there are a lot of agents that were riding on past performance, new construction that was inventory that was selling off. They had a lot of momentum going into the year. That momentum, those leads, dried up relatively quick and weren't easily replaced with new leads, and so if they stopped doing the proactive lead generation or never really drilled down on it in the first place this year, they're paying the price for it now. Well that's true, and it's not entirely their fault when you consider the fact that for the past several years, the FOMO in the market, fear of missing out, put some buoyancy underneath the lead generation, right? So you actually could take a little bit of a break, and buyers were beating down your door because they had to close with that low interest rate or whatever the case was, and there was abundance, right? So now, as most of you have noticed, there are fewer listings and fewer sales and fewer qualified buyers. We have that combination of things, and even if you're somebody that is feeling uncertain but enthusiastic, the uncertainty causes you to perhaps not do anything. So the FOMO has dried up, and an agent that was relying on that and had become accustomed to being able to turn on the burners and turn them off and still be okay, those are the agents that are really feeling the pinch right now, versus what you said and what we've experienced with our coaching clients and our coaches is that when you stay in momentum and you don't take long breaks, you don't get stuck in a rut, you don't start ruminating and looking at negative headlines, you don't get in your own way, you stay in momentum, and that doesn't mean that you have to work 60 hour weeks, it just means that you have to keep your lead generation going. Those are the agents who are not just on track, but many of them are getting ahead right now. Well, being specific and drilling down what you just said, because I agree, is that, again, with our personal coaching clients, and you have far more than I do, the big takeaway was, say those that started with you and I maybe 90 days ago, that were coming to us, wanting us to help them put Humpty Dumpty back together again, those guys are the ones that are still in the process of building momentum, and building momentum in a market like this is harder, is what Julie was just telling you guys, is harder now than it's really been probably since 2008. It just is. Now, versus the agents that have been coached by us for a long period of time, who have us harping at them every single week, who have never actually stopped doing what they didn't want to do when they didn't want to do it at the highest level, they're having their best years ever. That's right. So it's very interesting that in a year where you really are seeing the agents that have a, I'm saying this politely, a skills deficit, they're the ones that unless they recognize that, you're not going to be able to buy enough leads to essentially fill the skills deficit that a lot of you guys are realizing that you actually have. That's not the solution. Exactly. So spending more money on marketing and branding and buying leads and all the rest of it, that isn't where the problem is that some of you are experiencing. It's with your ability to pre -qualify at a high level, present at a high level, have meaningful conversations that lead in the direction of you generating a real estate lead at a high level. You guys get it? So what we've seen is the previous market, you could frankly fool yourself into believing that the marketing and the advertising and all of that was the way to build a business. And maybe in the past real estate market where interest rates were so much lower, that was a somewhat viable business model. But what we've seen, because we've done this for a long period of time now, over 20 years, is we've seen that essentially, for example, let's use this as a for example, because I was talking to a former KW executive actually yesterday, and we have seen since the 90s, the big team model go from very profitable now to basically not making a lot of profit whatsoever. Why? The cost structure has gone up. The revenue has gone down. The revenue has gone down because commissions have gone down. The revenue has gone down because there's fewer transactions. All the while, the demands from say, for example, buyer's agents have completely changed. Now, what also changed was the expectations you set for those buyer agents. So those buyer's agents that you had as part of your staff, you might call them something else, but you get the gist of it. They are not expected to actually do any proactive lead generation. Many of you have set these business models up with the idea that you're always going to be essentially running an adult daycare and you're always going to have to provide leads to these agents and the agents are never going to actually have to learn how to proactively generate. Those are the types of scaled up real estate models, teams, and brokerages even that are suffering right now. And we've seen the profit margins over the last, I think, since really 2007, 2008, when buying leads became very prolific, when agents were shopping what brokerage and what team they're going to join based on how many leads they can get.
Bankless
A highlight from David's Take: This is the Last Cycle
"Welcome, Bankless Nation, to Davis Takes, where every single week I drop a take in the Bankless newsletter and I read it to you here on the Bankless podcast. Last week I wrote about my big takeaways from ECC and all the industry themes that I identified from attending the talks, meeting with others, and overall just integrating the knowledge that is shared at these events. If you missed that episode, definitely go back and listen to it because the information there I think will help you navigate the next meta of crypto that we are seemingly soon to be embarking upon. This week I continue that exploration of industry themes and progression in a very boldly title. This is The Last Cycle, in which the title itself caused a bunch of controversy on crypto Twitter almost exclusively from people who didn't actually read the article. But how could I blame them for not reading the article because if people actually did read articles in this industry, then I wouldn't need to read them aloud on the podcast. I say right in the introduction, quote, the next crypto cycle is going to be the last one, end quote, is kind of a meme statement in crypto land. It's been stated before, and I don't mean to make a clear, convicted prediction about this. I'm simply connecting some dots across the crypto landscape that point towards a new phase of crypto after this bear market is concluded. If you look closely, there are a handful of signs pointing towards crypto entering its last market cycle before finally exiting its developmental phase and entering its long term era of maturity, stability and growth. This is the subject of this week's take. But first, before I read you my take, a moment to talk about some of these fantastic sponsors that make this show possible. Extra thanks to Kraken, our preferred exchange for crypto in 2023. Whether you are dollar cost averaging into crypto to prepare for the bull market or you're taking profits out of crypto, be sure to do it with Kraken. The newly designed Kraken Pro makes it super easy to do both your basic financial transactions while also taking your trading to the next level. Kraken Pro is truly the trading UX that you've always wanted. So if your bull market archetype is the trader class, you need Kraken Pro in your toolkit. But if your character class is more of a DeFi journeyman or woman, then MetaMask Portfolio is the tool for you. MetaMask Portfolio is your DeFi multi -chain battle station. Any asset on any Ethereum layer 2, MetaMask Portfolio will present it to you. So don't get caught forgetting assets or missing opportunities. Make sure you're prepared for the bull run by prepping your MetaMask Portfolio. Moving on from tools you need to playing fields to play on, the Arbitrum layer 2 is one of the main arenas in which this bull market will be fought on. Whether your character class is a DeFi degen, airdrop hunter, or healed seeker, the Arbitrum Coliseum is where a ton of the action is going to be. So whether you're on Arbitrum 1 for DeFi and NFTs or Arbitrum Nova for Web3 Gaming or a new Frontier on Arbitrum using an Arbitrum orbit chain, there are so many opportunities to sink your teeth into. But as we know, the Ethereum roll -up centric roadmap produces all kinds of layer 2s. And Mantle is one of the newest layer 2s on the scene with some of the newest technology that Ethereum layer 2s has to offer in the year 2023. Mantle is built using the OP stack but uses Eigenlayers data availability solution instead of the expensive Ethereum layer 1, reducing gas fees by 80 % compared to other layer 2s. With billions of dollars standing by from Bitdow to invest in Mantle, make sure you stay ahead of the game by building and growing your on -chain footprint on Mantle. Let's not forget about the ETH staking character class and Stater makes it easy. Running a staking pool with Stater just requires 4 ETH for a deposit, letting you charge a fee to the remaining 28 ETH that uses your node to stake their ETH, increasing your yield by 35%. Stater's staked ETH token ETHX allows you to stake your ETH and use it in DeFi at the same time. For all you DeFi swappers out there, this one is for you. UniswapX has opened up a brand new landscape to play in and it's the world of intents. This is where those who employ the swapping ability get to team up with the evil MEV bot army and they get to band together to discover the most efficient liquidity route through the Ethereum landscape. Gas -free swaps, MEV protection, and theoretically optimal pricing. When swappers and MEVers come together, new metas happen and it's thanks to UniswapX. So the next time you trade on Uniswap, consider clicking the UniswapX button to get your MEV protection. And so, if we're truly entering a bull market phase in crypto, which we totally are, then tokens are going to start flying all over the place. So if you're an organization looking to grow with token incentives, then look no further than Toku. If you want to distribute tokens to your employees, team members, or for payroll, Toku can help you comply with labor laws, tax obligations, and reporting for whatever country you employ someone. Crypto is entering its regulated era and Toku can help you achieve your token incentive award goals with compliance. So thank you to all the sponsors that support Bankless and all the podcast editors, newsletter writers, and operations managers who make the Bankless organization the best that we can be. We truly appreciate your support. And for all the listeners out there who listen to the mountains of content that we turn out each week, especially this one right here. So let's go on to the show. I hope you are ready to hear about why I think that this might be the last cycle that crypto ever produces. And the first reason, the first rationale I have is about the regulatory and institutional approval climate in crypto right now. Crypto is going through its largest regulatory battles ever. Indeed, this has always been inevitable. As an industry based around money and finance, we cannot simply just waltz into mainstream acceptance without going through the trials of regulatory acceptance. In order for the biggest players to be able to play in Web3, they need assurances that the nation state and its monopoly on violence actually allows them to do so. Becoming mainstream means that crypto makes it through these regulatory trials. But don't be scared. Crypto wins no matter what. All we have to do is wait until the hazing is over and it can only last for so long.
Crypto Banter
A highlight from This Hasn't Happened Since The 2008 Financial Crisis (Investors BEWARE)
"Welcome back to my new series called The Week Ahead where every single Monday, we go through the charts and I give you my top trades for the week as well as look at the biggest events for the week. This week is going to be absolutely massive. We have big Bitcoin news with the gray scale verdict from the SEC. We also have major levels on the charts right now which we are currently reaching which I want to talk about. And we also have some crazy news out of the US market with the 10 -year treasury yields starting to make new highs. What does this mean for the market? Could it signal a greater market collapse amongst equities and crypto? We're going to discuss all that and more and then get into some of my favorite crypto specific plays for the week and have a look at some trades, both longs and shorts. And I'm going to do this series every single Monday to make sure every single week you are updated with everything you need to know in the market. So if you are enjoying this new series, if you watched last week or even if this is just your first time, make sure to smash the like button and show some love. Without further ado, let's get straight into it. Where is Bitcoin currently sitting? Well, it's currently sitting just above support of the 25K region on some exchanges that actually slightly are with below the 25K zone. After it broke down on this trend line here, we can see a 28 .5 and it also broke through the 200MA on the daily. So Bitcoin just hanging out right now but is a very pivotal week for Bitcoin. We're going to get into some of the reasons why it's such a pivotal week for Bitcoin in just a couple minutes here. Something else I want you to pay attention to is the weekly chart for Bitcoin. We can see we've had this week of the 200MA on the weekly, technically a higher low for Bitcoin. However, this is an extremely important level, right? Because if you break below this 25K zone, then you are starting to target some lower numbers like 22 to 23K. That's your next major support. So Bitcoin really does want to hold this region. I think this week is going to be a massive week because you do want this weekly candle close above the previous low. If you get a close below the previous low and start closing below the 200MA on the weekly, that is a very, very bad sign to Bitcoin. And that might be an indicator that you should start de -risking out of markets depending on how you trade. Of course, if you're a spot long -term trader, you may just be viewing this as a buying opportunity. All the traders out there, though, are going to be keeping your eyes very closely on that weekly close. So what is happening in the US economy? This is pretty crazy. We have the 10 -year US Treasuries actually hitting their highs for, I think, the last decade. So US Treasuries haven't been this high since 2009. Actually, if they go up another 0 .5%, they wouldn't have been this high since the global financial crisis in 2008. It's absolutely nuts. We are seeing investors go a little bit risk -off when it comes to investing in the US economy, obviously rising debt levels. As you can see in front of you and just the amount that they are borrowing in relation to income does have investors just a little bit spooked in terms of parking their money in US Treasuries. During this quarter alone, the US is expected to issue a near record 1 trillion in Treasury debt. This is the second highest on record after the 2 .8 trillion issued in Q2 2020 during the global lockdowns. Over the next two quarters, the US is expected to issue nearly 1 .9 trillion in Treasury debt as spending rises and tax receipts fall. The US is issuing record levels of debt to cover the deficit. Both spending and borrowing are out of control. What do the 10 -year Treasury yields rising to new highs actually mean for the market? Well, yields have risen to levels not seen in more than a decade as investors demand higher risk -free rates of return amid a resilient US economy. The sell -off comes amid worries around larger US fiscal deficits, as we just discussed, that will increase the supply of Treasury debt. The move higher across the curve over the last few weeks has really been all on the real yield side. Zachary Griffiths, Senior Fixed Income Strategist at Credit Site said, With the higher Fed policy rate or better growth expectations, with little shift in breakeven inflation expectations, together these factors have found expectations that US market yields are entering a period of being higher for an extended period and closing the door on the post -financial crisis era of ultra -low rates. So I think it is very scary for the market overall here, just to summarize that we are seeing Treasuries go even higher. It doesn't necessarily signal like, you know, an equities crash because they don't always move in tandem. But what I would keep my eye on is if this continues to gain trajectory to the upside, because it could indicate that something is seriously wrong with the US economy. I mean, the warning signs are starting to kind of pop their head out now and starting to flag across a few different sectors of the US economy. Treasury yields obviously being one of them. So let's keep our eye on what happens here. But probably not the best sign that, you know, because it shows that investors are becoming a little bit risk averse in terms of parking capital in Treasury bonds in the US. Obviously, with these debt levels continuing to rise, it's something I would keep my eye on. And as you can see in the chart here, these levels have not been seen since basically the GFC in 2008. So that is a little scary sign if you want one, but I'm sure you don't want one. Another bit of scary news in the market is surrounding BNB. And this is one of the coins today that I really want you to keep your eye on this week because BNB right now is basically a proxy for risk in this market. It is obviously the governance token of the biggest exchange in crypto by volume still, which is Binance. And because the BNB token is so intermingled with the Binance ecosystem, we know Binance employees were getting paid in BNB. We know a lot of the launch pools are stuck with BNB. We know that, you know, BNB is often a great source of FUD. If we do see a liquidation cascade here on BNB, I think it could have greater ramifications for the market's risk appetite towards all of the old coins, not just BNB itself. So because of this systemic risk, BNB does become, in my opinion, the top token to actually watch this week alongside Bitcoin. You have this very key level at 210, which actually just broke down. We have seen some liquidation starting to occur. And there is a big on -chain BNB position, which is now close to being liquidated around the $200 level as we also see open interest on BNB, presumably to the short side starting to rise. If BNB does start breaking down below $200, I think that could be a major warning sign. To be honest, 220 was already the big support for BNB, which it is now broken below, which was the lows of the SEC FUD, the lows of the insolvency FUD. So things are looking a little bit risky for BNB. And because right now this is a proxy for risk, definitely one token to keep your eye on this week. So let's go through my list of coins that I'm watching now that you have a feel for where the market is. And let's start with Bitcoin because two major dates for Bitcoin this week and a pretty pivotal week in terms of market structures we discussed before with Bitcoin sitting on that weekly 200 MA at a very crucial support at 25K. We have had a little bit of a rally since those lows, which is a great thing, but we would need to sustain momentum into the week. As soon as you start closing the week below 25, that is a really bearish sign for Bitcoin. Now, this week is a very important week because of the grayscale ETF decision. Grayscale wants to convert their ETF from a futures ETF into a spot ETF. And for this reason, we are going to potentially this week get a precedent for how the SEC views Bitcoin's spot ETFs. They can also choose to delay again, which they may, and some are speculating we won't get an SEC verdict, maybe even into 2024. However, this is still an important week in case we do get a verdict, either a hard rejection or a hard approval, definitely could cause some market moves. That's expected to happen around Tuesday or Wednesday. So that would be tomorrow, depending on which time zone you're in. The other thing that is quite important at the moment is the general spot ETF approvals because grayscale is positioned in a unique way with their current existing futures ETF. A rejection there could be due to a grayscale specific conversion issue, which is why I also think you should be monitoring the overall ETF applications for ARK, iShares, which is BlackRock, etc. We are going to start to see them, as you can see here, get approved, rejected or delayed as of the 1st and 2nd of September. So definitely keep your eye out next week for some of these approvals, rejections or delays. I do assume, though, this will be delayed and the can will just be kicked down the road probably to the end of the year or early 2024. Bitcoin really does need a catalyst, though, to really trigger that next move back up to the upside, you know, to that 30K region. I think the only way Bitcoin is going to get that is if we get some sort of spot ETF development. I know it's the obvious answer, but right now, that is what the market is hanging out for ahead of what is historically a pretty negative month for Bitcoin. September, actually, the only month that has an average negative return for Bitcoin of minus 4 .67%. So September, usually a very red month, which is why I'm just a little bit cautious heading into September, not longing like crazy. I am looking for some good altcoin opportunities as we're getting some dips at the moment. I'm going to talk about some of the alts that I am buying in today's video, of course, but overall cautious about being too long. I'm certainly not leverage long in this market at the moment. I'm mostly spot long if I'm longing anything, trying to avoid crazy amounts of leverage for the time being because it's a very difficult market to trade. It's not really a range traders market at the moment. It's more of a scalp traders market, at least this last month, unless you targeted that extremity at 30K. Even then, it was easy to get blown up in that push expansion high to 31 .5. So for me, mostly a spot market. Now, speaking of spot, what am I doing in terms of altcoin positioning? Let's run through the 10 altcoins that I'm looking at most heavily this week. Rollbit leads this list. I'm still interested in Rollbit. I think we have had a pretty decent correction of Rollbit since it originally dropped from $0 .21 all the way back down through $0 .13 to $0 .14. If you have a look here, you can see that their casino revenue is actually driving a lot of their fees and subsequently the RLB burn. The RLB burn has dropped over the last week compared to the prior week. So volumes on the exchange are lower. Our futures revenue is also slightly down. Sports revenue, however, is starting to pick up a little bit into the $200 ,000 range, likely as football and NFL and NBA start to come back. So I do think with increased market volatility and sports book side of things picking up, we can see Rollbit continue to increase in its fees, still burning a crazy amount of tokens ahead of their Rollbit's degen exchange launch, which is going to be their platform for trading perps with high speed, high execution, high risk for risky coins. I think a lot of gamblers are going to enjoy that. While we're on the narrative of altcoins that have strong trends behind them, I think it would be remiss of me not to mention Unibot as another one that has started to cool down off its highs. This is actually one that I'm actively DCing into, made a couple of buys a couple of days ago. Since then, it has upped slightly, which is a nice thing. I think if you can get another look around that support at 135, that's good. Actually now sitting back on its high timeframe support $150. So monitor this one this week, but I'm bullish on this. If you're bullish on Rollbit or Unibot and you have to work out whether you are, of course, this video isn't financial advice. You may start to get better looks at DCing into this spot entries, of course. So Unibot's one I'm looking at, actually, if we look at their fee growth and just the overall activity on the platform, their growth has been very, very impressive. And I think some days that they were even hitting 10 ,000 traders, which is absolutely crazy. I think they're cumulatively at like 12 ,000 traders now. So pretty cool, 878 trades over the last day. Executed little downtick, but we did have a massive day last week for Unibot. So the metrics there are super strong. All right, the next one I want to talk about is Sui, because some interesting stuff is happening on the up its side that I want to discuss. Before we get into that, I want to give a shout out to another narrative that I think is actually pretty strong. And this is actually OpenX. So OpenX is one of our official exchange partners on the show, one that I'm quite bullish on. And I don't want you guys to get the wrong idea, like just because they're sponsoring the show is the reason I'm bullish. That actually couldn't be further from the truth. Even before they came on as an official show partner, I was very bullish on their mission. And essentially, that's because it's kind of like your Zhu Shu and Carl Davies redemption arc, right? I mean, obviously, they had a terrible time with 3AC, FTX, Luna, Celsius. But the fact that they've been able to pick themselves up out of that, rebuild this exchange and not only rebuild the exchange, but gain significant traction with billions of dollars of trading volume with quite a unique mechanism. I think that's a testament to what they're building. And I'm pretty excited to see what they can do over the next six months to one year. I think some of the unique features on the exchange are really awesome. For example, this credit model, which allows you to deposit assets as collateral, like pretty illiquid assets, like let's say Pepe or Robit, and actually use that to trade perpetuals using OUSD. I think that's super cool. So OUSD is their credit currency. It's used to settle trades on the platform. It's essentially, it's not technically hard pegged to a dollar, but since a positive and negative trades are settled in OUSD, it should sit around $1 and that's the settlement currency that allows you to deposit other assets, illiquid assets as collateral. And I think it's going to appeal to a fairly degen market because all the degens that want to trade using their degen coins are now going to be able to unlock them rather than having to put up like USDT or Bitcoin as collateral on a traditional exchange. So that's super interesting. I think that appeals to people. And also what I think appeals to people is the fact that they are super on the pulse when it comes to listing your altcoins. Like they listed Unibot, which we just discussed before, like basically as soon as that started gaining traction, they listed Harry Potter coin and these coins that have done huge returns, OX was open exchange was there pretty early. So the OX token is something that I'm looking at, obviously not financial advice. But since I am bullish on the platform, this is something that I'm actively looking at accumulating. I actually did manage to pick some up recently. And the reason why is because you can stake it and earn airdrop rewards from their real world asset, Justin token campaign. So what they're doing essentially similar to like, let's say like your Binance launch pool. You stake their token, you earn a yield on their token, which is generated from trading fees from the platform. And then you also get airdrops over time for their launch pad tokens. For example, at the moment, you've got the justice token rewards. As you can see here as part of the real world asset program. So hopefully that gives a nice source of passive income for me. But yeah, obviously not financial advice and they are a show partner, of course. Link in the description if you want to trade on OpenX. I've had a lot of fun watching their growth over the last few weeks. And yeah, I'll continue to support them because despite what the haters may say, and maybe you're a hater, it's a really good exchange. And I think the only way you're going to realize that is to actually use it and test it out for yourself. Let's get on with the rest of the video and talk about some of the old coins I'm looking at. We will go rapid fire through this, so we'll go quick. SUI. What am I thinking about SUI? It actually swept the lows. This looks like an interesting long potentially. It had some pretty strong up bid volume over the weekend, which could set it up nicely for a rally. If it reclaims, obviously it's going to be affected by broader market conditions. You would need Bitcoin to hold up as well for this to perform well. But this is one I am actively watching. You're getting it at pretty low levels and the up bid volume spike was super interesting, as you can see in front of you. The next one is Say. This is one that I'm not fading. I actually do want to buy some Say. I'm very bullish long term on this whole Say is the trading chain narrative. I feel like a lot of L1s and L2s at the moment are lost for identity. A lot of blockchains have an identity crisis. Whereas has Say this very clear identity of being the optimized Cosmos hub for trading. I think a lot of people, when they do want exposure to the upside of the trading narrative, they're instantly going to think of Say. I think that investor mindshare is a powerful thing long term. I'm bullish long term, but short term, interestingly, the price has been bleeding and it hasn't really had a pump yet. I've just got this feeling at some point it pops. Often with new tokens, we see this as airdrop recipients start to sell off some of their initial holdings. We see a slow bleed. I just feel like at some point it's going to spike to the upside. And for that reason, I may look at buying a little bit of Say this week. Once again, general market conditions are going to factor in to these altcoin trades, but Say is definitely one that I'm watching. I think it's reasonable at the market cap that it is at rank 120, although its FDV is a little bit higher at 1 .4. Bill, Injective, another Cosmos project that's in that same kind of niche, is sitting at 747. Say is roughly double, but Injective is a trading infrastructure play, whereas Say is like your proprietary blockchain. A little bit different, but both interesting plays in the Cosmos ecosystem.
The Podcast On Podcasting
A highlight from Ep361: Ignite Podcast Growth By Doing These Things - Lisa Zawrotny
"An opportunity to book the podcasting recording time. And I started with that very basic. And one of the things that I have really grown into is making sure that the templates of the reminders have the proper information they need. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. What's up, podcaster? It's Adam A. Adams. And today I am joined with Lisa Zirotny. And Lisa, how did I do? Did I say it right that time? Nailed it, Adam. Well done. So there's this silent W. You'll see that in the show notes. Scroll down. What we're talking about today is what she's learned over the last three plus years, consistently putting out episodes every single week, what she would do differently, what she's learned. And I'm going to talk a little bit about her business just because it seems interesting for someone like you and me, who is an entrepreneur, a podcaster, to be able to work less and make more and spend less time, but have those efforts being effective. So we'll find out about her superpower, her genius zone about what we can be doing. So Lisa, thank you for jumping on a mutual friend. Lubna connected us. I got to a point. So, you know, and so that my listener knows to got to a point where I thought that I had episodes for days. I thought I had four months worth of episodes in the can, or I call it a bank account. And then my thumbs probably. And my team mate said that I was behind an episode. So I reached out to a couple of people that I really trust Lubna, Alex, and a couple others. And I said, can you put me in touch with your top guests that you've had on your show? People that you think are really shine and help my listener. So that's how I met Lisa. And let's dive in. I want to ask the first question comes from her bio, where it talks a little bit about, I think it said hypnotism or something like that. And so I'm just going to pretend that it said hypnotism. And I'm going to ask her, do you hypnotize people? I do not, but I certainly help them reframe their lives and what it means to be productive because we have a society that's telling us something completely off base for benefit. Okay. So how do you do that? Like, take me as an example, if you don't mind, I'll get some free coaching because you do this for a living. I know. What would you do to work with a client that is a podcaster who has a business and they want to be able to kind of get out of their own way? How do you do that? I guess without hypnotism.
Crypto Banter
A highlight from WARNING: CRYPTO MARKET DUMP (How Bad Will It Get?)
"Bitcoin is currently breaking down from one of the major trends that it set all the way back in January at the start of this year. So with a Bitcoin breakdown on the cards, what does this potentially mean for altcoins heading into September, which is historically the worst month for cryptocurrency? In today's show, we're going to be going through the data to break down what's going to come next for altcoins. Is going Bitcoin to continue to lead the pack? And are alts any chance of recovering anytime soon? And of course, off the back of that, when is the right time to buy? Or is it simply just worth sitting out of the market right now and letting things play out its course? We're going to answer all those questions and more in today's show. Smash the like button if you're excited. It's going to be a massive stream. And let's just get straight into the metrics here. So we could see right in front of us that Bitcoin is along this major trend line that it is just starting to break down from at the $28K level. Now, it isn't a confirmed breakout yet because I am looking at this on the daily. And there's also a similar chart on the weekly that I am eyeing. So let's see how it reacts over the next couple of days. Sometimes Bitcoin does week under this level, as we've seen back in June and back in March. But we do want to see where Bitcoin closes here because if we get a close below this level, then you can start to target the $200MA on the daily. And of course, that major support level at $26 .5K as potential targets for Bitcoin. Once again, not panicking just yet, but we do need to see how price actually reacts around this area if we are to get a continued breakout. Bitcoin, however, is not operating in isolation. You can see the NASDAQ 100 right now is also breaking down. After it had a really nice rally since the beginning of the year, the NASDAQ ran up 49%. So a lot of investors are starting to panic and get worried about these recession fears that are spreading around the market. But what you have to realize is, I mean, it rallied 49 % and it's had a 7 % pullback. In my opinion, it's very normal behavior for these markets. But it is interesting to note from a pure technical perspective, we are now starting to get a trend reversal, which is being exemplified by the breakdown here of this diagonal trend on the NASDAQ. And we also can see a similar trend forming on the S &P, with it also just starting to show signs of weakness, also breaking below its diagonal support. Of course, Bitcoin being a risk asset and largely correlated to these assets has also seen a pullback in tandem with the stock market. And it's quite interesting, when the stock market was rallying, Bitcoin was doing nothing. It was moving sideways after its spot ETF rally. But now that the stock market's starting to pull back, well, this is where we're seeing the Bitcoin Pearson correlation, which is a measurement of Bitcoin's correlation to equities and gold, actually starting to tick up. Meaning that Bitcoin is now increasingly becoming correlated again with the stock market after the stock market has had a correction. Kind of sucky that it didn't hold up relevant strength with stocks coming down. But nonetheless, that has been the case for Bitcoin starting to show a little bit more strength. So what does all of this mean for altcoins? Well, what we've seen over the last few days is dominance beginning to spike again, and a lot of altcoins bleeding heavily versus their Bitcoin pairs. So just going on to CoinGecko at the moment, and we're going through this list, we can see that many of the major alts for the week are down a lot more than Bitcoin. So using Bitcoin as a reference, down 4 % alongside Ethereum, we can see like Solana down 6%, Cardano down 8%, Doge down 11%, Polkadot down 5%, Polygon down 12%. Like a lot of these are in the double digits, Uniswap, etc. We can go down the list and see most of them are between like 6 % and 12%, even though Bitcoin's only down 4%. So the altcoin market is showing relative weakness versus Bitcoin on these dips. And I think due to the major trend of dominance, as you can see in front of you, the trend for dominance is clearly bullish. And as long as this is the case, altcoins versus Bitcoin are likely to continue to bleed for some time. We'll get into when this can reverse in just a minute here. But firstly, what is the reason for this? Why are altcoins showing relative weakness versus Bitcoin? Well, the first reason is when investors start to get a bit worried, when sentiment just starts to shift a little bit like it is at the moment, extremely risky assets like altcoins, they tend to be the first that investors sell off in order to protect themselves. So just the general de -risking across altcoins is what is currently being exemplified in the market right now. But that isn't happening in isolation. That's happening off the back of huge regulatory changes with the Binance lawsuit currently underway. We see they actually filed for an amendment of the SEC case. This is ongoing and this is going to be a huge storm in the crypto industry that continues to brew for, I think, months and potentially even years to come. Now, of course, we will start to get some definitive answers on securities law throughout this case. But I think a lot of altcoin investors have started to de -risk just relative to Bitcoin ahead of some of the outcomes from this case. And we do think that we can see here a discovery storm may be brewing between the SEC and Binance as we start to see lots of documents being emerged from Binance. It's going to cause periodic elements of FUD. And obviously, there's still those big questions like what altcoins are securities, what altcoins aren't securities. The XRP case was in favor of the alts. And we did see a very nice response off the back of that. But I think the market's now realizing, well, there's still a little bit to play out on the regulatory front. Coinbase, however, looks slightly better positioned than Binance in order to beat this regulatory storm, considering the US actually allowed them to deploy their financial market futures fund, which is going to be eligible for US customers, meaning US customers will be able to trade futures on the Coinbase exchange, which is quite interesting. Now, which assets are going to be allowed? Let's wait and see. But it's kind of weird. If Coinbase wasn't going to have a better outcome than Binance during their lawsuit, then why would the US approve this new exchange? You've got to ask the question. I think Coinbase, as a public company that has shown to be a little more compliant with US policy, is being favored, I guess, by the SEC. So those are two of the major reasons why the altcoins are performing worse. But there's also the major elephant in the room here, and that's the Bitcoin spot ETF. And unlike altcoins, Bitcoin has a direct supply and demand side factor that is driving its performance and drove its performance during that run up that we saw last, or July, just one month ago. And that's, of course, the Bitcoin spot ETF. So the Bitcoin spot ETF, because it's kind of like a Bitcoin native related catalyst, it doesn't have a direct effect on the alts until we see an approval, and then maybe we can start looking at an Ethereum ETF. But right now, the narrative is very much still with Bitcoin with the spot ETF taking place. So you have a combination of things, investors starting to go more risk off as they just start to worry about recession fears, investors starting to go risk off in the midst of some of these lawsuits that we're seeing from Binance and Coinbase. And then also the fact that Bitcoin has favoritism in the market's eyes due to its spot ETF specific catalyst. And we can see these are some of the key dates that we have to watch, of course, the next major deadline for the SEC happening on September 1st. And then some of the other deadlines now being pushed towards next year, like ARK, which is set to be reevaluated in January. So I doubt we do get a response here in two weeks in September from the SEC. I think they're going to kick the can down the road and delay it again, which could see things be pushed into October and maybe even further into November and early next year is what some pundits are anticipating. Percentage wise, Bloomberg analysts still think the percentage of a spot Bitcoin ETF is over 60%, but we may just have to wait a little bit longer. And I think that's why the market's getting a little bit impatient now and we're starting to see a sell off from Bitcoin because the biggest catalyst in the market that pumped the price of Bitcoin in June and July is now no longer a catalyst until we get a concrete change in terms. And that would obviously be an approval or a rejection of the Bitcoin spot ETF. So let's go back to dominance. Let's look at what's happening in the Bitcoin dominance to work out. Look, what could be next for altcoins? Because there's history that can show us potentially a path here for altcoin performance over the next few months. So the first thing to note is that dominance did break above its major level at 48 % earlier in the year. We, of course, have covered that on the show. Interestingly, it actually rejected off the 200 MA on the weekly at the 52 % region. We did see a slight altcoin run. And then over the past few days, we've seen a little bit of a reversal. But what is clear here is that the dominance trend is still upwards. And until we get a concrete reversal, I mean, one can only assume this is going to continue for the foreseeable future. Now, could this end up being a reversal? Yes. But right now, it just looks like a simple pullback in dominance. And until you start to see a double top forming, I would be skeptical. I would wait to see how Bitcoin dominance reacts around that level. That's going to be super crucial. But what's happened in the past with Bitcoin dominance? Well, this red line here, this vertical line, this line and this line in front of us are the lines that indicate the Bitcoin halving. So the halving happened in April 2020. And then the next halving is scheduled for around March to April 2024. Dominance is interestingly following a very similar pattern this cycle versus last cycle. And although it's only one data point, I wanted to bring it to your attention. So we can see here in May 2019, dominance started to increase before reversing in September and altcoins outperformed leading into the halving. We can line it up with this year being a pre -halving year as well. The exact same month, May dominance started to shift to the upside as we saw dominance shifting to the upside in 2019. And then we are also starting to see potential signs of a reversal taking place. Now, this isn't a confirmed reversal yet. But we know that the last reversal we got was in September 240 days before the halving. This time, we can see that we are starting to reach that level. So will that mean that we pull back in dominance and altcoins perform from September onwards? I wouldn't be so sure because although history repeats, it doesn't, sorry, although history rhymes, it doesn't always repeat. And I don't think one data point is really enough to assert that, okay, just because dominance followed a similar pattern last cycle, it's going to follow another pattern. Because last cycle, we didn't have the spot ETF. We didn't have all these regulatory issues. We didn't have recession fears. We were, well, we did have recession fears around, you know, the pandemic. But it was quite different because we had a quantitative easing environment versus a tightening environment now. So I wouldn't be so quick to draw a conclusion. But just broadly speaking, right, historically, dominance has shown to rally into halvings, and then altcoins tend to outperform post halving more significantly. So although we did see an altcoin outperformance into the beginning of the halving, the real altcoin performance didn't happen till about a year post halving. So I think any major big altcoin performance, although you may see a reversal pre halving, the big moves will come post halving. And that is generally what I think we can expect as traders because Bitcoin dominance still being in an uptrend, I think you've got to establish that that trend can continue. Now, how long will it continue for? Right now, what I'm doing as a trader is really tracking the ETH BTC chart. So this is a chart that I've had since the start of the year. And I've been tracking ETH's performance versus Bitcoin. And what we can see is that it has been in a downtrend basically since the FTX collapse last year. But this downtrend does have a support line. And the support line that I'm eyeing is the 0 .055 level in tandem with the 200 MA on the weekly, which should also start to tick downwards as price starts to come down a bit more. So I think we're going to see a confluence of a few support levels is 0 .055 zone. And if that lines up timewise with what we typically see with Bitcoin leading into halvings, this could mean that we see an Ethereum Bitcoin temporary bottom because I don't know how long the uptrend will last, but at least a bounce around, let's say, October, November this year. Now, this is rough data. It could happen later. It could happen sooner. But the trend that we've been following has not really changed. So my thoughts on ETH BTC haven't changed. I think Bitcoin will continue to lead into the end of this year. And then we should see a reversal sometime maybe towards November, maybe towards October, anywhere in this blue box here. And that should, we're going to get the signs at that point of a strong bounce because we're going to see a strong reaction at this 200 MA. We're going to see a strong reaction at horizontal support as well. What's very interesting about this is this timeline potentially lines up with the performance of Bitcoin because Bitcoin typically has its worst month in September. So we can see that Bitcoin corrections have always happened in August slash September of the pre -halving year. We saw it in 2012. We saw it in 2013. We saw it in 2019. And we're seeing it again now. And if you look at the Bitcoin monthly returns, September comes out as the worst month averaging a minus 5 % return or a minus 70 % total return for September. Every other month is positive. September is by far the biggest outlier here with six of six, the six latest months for September performance all coming in the red territory. So if you do line that up with the chart here and just come to the assertion that September could be a red month for Bitcoin, then that also makes sense on the ETHBTC chart. Because if Bitcoin ends up dropping and altcoins have these risks that we previously discussed with the lawsuits and, you know, the selloff happening, then we could maybe assert that alts will bleed harder than Bitcoin during this period. And this September selloff could speed up this trend here, this scenario that results in us hitting these targets on ETHBTC. So if we want to just do a bit of maths here to get down to the support level, it's around 12 .26%. That could be the amount that alts because ETH is synonymous with a lot of altcoins, bleed versus BTC. And that would also see dominance correspondingly push up into this 54 % region, which is also a major resistance level for dominance. As we can see, it was support and may flip into resistance because this was a previous key level for dominance. So pretty interesting that everything's kind of lining up around this September period to be potentially a period that altcoins bleed but also a period where we see a reversal. So that is very, very interesting. Now, what I want to get into now is if this scenario does play out, and if we do see altcoins starting to significantly bleed over the next couple months and continue their bleeding, and then we do see a reversal, what are the best altcoins to accumulate for that reversal? So that's something I want to discuss now. What alts am I eyeing? Because, of course, these are creating big opportunities. Altcoins bleeding versus Bitcoin, every percent that they bleed is going to be an additional return on the way up. So the further an altcoin goes down, the more returns percentage -wise it's going to do on the way up if you can buy in a rough accumulation period because you're never going to get it right. But if you can time it in a rough window where you're getting close enough to the bottom, then you're putting yourself in a good position to take advantage of the multiples on the way up if you invest in quality. So I want to get into like what that quality looks like and some of the narratives that I'm looking at are for the scenario because for me, this period is an accumulation period. If we do get the altcoins bleeding a bit more, like I think we will, and if we do get ETHBTC starting to reach the support level and bleeding more, which I think we will, then I think that'll be a good opportunity to continue stacking altcoins. Yes, we're not going to time the bottom exactly. But if we get a general zone where we think that altcoins are good buys relative to Bitcoin, keeping dominance in mind, then I think that could be really good buying opportunity setting ourselves up for the next cycle. So let's talk about those alts. But just before we get into those alts, I want to give you a quick reminder that we're currently doing a one Ethereum airdrop every single week for liquidity providers on SmartX. So SmartX is a DEX platform that is essentially solved or mitigated the negative effects of impermanent loss. So impermanent loss is typically when you experience capital losses on your LP positions when you have two different assets that are moved together in price. But SmartX, they have a calibration mechanism which enables these LPs to actually retain their value relative to what you would have with a typical LP where you would lose to impermanent loss. So it's, I think, attractive for LPs. And off the back of that as well, they've got huge farming multipliers. So we can see 10, 20, 30 X multipliers on their farms, which are resulting in APRs of, I mean, pretty much the highest in the market right now. On their native pairs, it's 89 to 100 percent. On their USDC pairs, like Arbitrum, for example, it's 23 percent. But we actually teamed up with them to do a giveaway of one Ethereum, one airdrop every single week for liquidity providers that provide a minimum of $50 liquidity into any of these pools. So if you do provide $50 into Arbitrum, Polygon or BNB, any of the pools in any of those chains that I just listed, then you will be eligible as long as you deposit a minimum of $50 into one of those pools for our one ETH airdrop every single week. And I'll be doing my airdrop this week. So link in the description to access that airdrop over on SmartX. And good luck. Hopefully, well, I was going to say hopefully we get a winner, but we will get a winner because I'll be drawing it. But I hope you win. I hope, you know, good luck to everyone that is getting involved in that giveaway there. All right, let's get on to my plan now. So the first thing I want to establish is that I buy Bitcoin every single month. I've explained this in previous shows. That doesn't change. The only thing that changes is the amount that I put in and the variability between Bitcoin and Ethereum. So when Bitcoin is showing strength like it has been recently, I've been DCA -ing heavier into Bitcoin. And when Ethereum starts to show strength, like we see in this chart, if we do get a reversal or a breakout of this diagonal trend, then I'll start to go heavier ETH on my DCAs versus Bitcoin. But my goal is to have a really strong Bitcoin and ETH portfolio. Now, on to the altcoins. I'm looking for altcoins that I really understand and I'm looking for altcoins that I truly believe in. So I believe it's so important as a crypto investor to pick the narratives that you have conviction in. If you understand DeFi and you have a good understanding of the market dynamics, you should prioritize that sector. If you really understand crypto gaming and you're a gamer and you really understand the value proposition there, you should look towards those projects because it's so important in this market that you only hold things you actually have conviction in. Because if we do get some sort of altcoin reckoning and alts continue to bleed versus Bitcoin, let's say they go down another 50%, are you going to be fumbling the bag at the bottom? Or are you going to continue to lower your cost basis by buying more? Now, in order to have the conviction to buy more, you've got to really believe in what you're buying. So right now is the time to get your list together of the projects that you really want to buy and really want to accumulate because if we do get altcoins that start to bleed, you're going to know exactly what you want to buy. Now, I'm going to talk through a few of the things that I'm looking at buying. The first thing is GambleFi. I think Robert's the leader here and I'm continuing to add to my role position as we go lower. Hopefully we get sub 10 cents again, but maybe 12 to 14 cents. I'll do a bit of DCA and I'm also keeping my eyes on new casinos. So that is something that I'm looking at. I think GambleFi still has some room to run and I'm always on the lookout. The next sector that I'm looking at is L2s. I'm heavily interested in this EIP 4844 narrative that, as you can see in front of you, is going to reduce the cost of gas fees significantly on layer 2s. I think this will be a catalyst for layer 2s heading into that event. And because that event is happening in December, if we do get the timeline lining up with an altcoin reversal, let's say September, October, maybe even November, I think because these have the strongest narrative in the market, they could bounce the most in the immediate terms. They become attractive propositions from that perspective. Now, which L2s am I looking at in this narrative? Well, I think a lot of them can perform well, but for the safer mid to large cap plays, I think Arbitrum around a dollar is starting to become an attractive look. I also think Optimism is an attractive look considering their partnership with Coinbase, Debank, Mantle, et cetera, as you can see in front of you. So those are two I'm watching. The other thing I'm watching is unique narratives like privacy. So one of our show sponsors, Tommy, has a suite of privacy products. One of them is Dopp. Now, this one I'm really interested in because it essentially enables you to transfer assets without having to reveal those assets to the public. So you can have an NFT in your wallet, for example, that you want to show off to people. But you might also have Ethereum in that wallet that you don't want to show off to people. And you can essentially choose what you want to disclose and choose what you want to enclose. So I think privacy next narrative, I'm sorry, next cycle is going to be a big narrative. I don't think we've fully seen protocols come to life. So I'm always on the lookout for new protocols in this sector and Dopp's one of them. I think they have a token sale soon. But of course, do your own research. They are a show partner. But the reason we're partnered with them is because I think it's a really cool trend and one that I'm actively on the lookout for. And Tommy's essentially their mothership, which launches a lot of these products. So that might also be something to look into as well. If you're interested in DeFi, I think Frackshare could be something to look at. It's very interesting. They've got exposure to not just the stablecoin, decentralized stablecoin trend, but also liquid staking. They're actually one of the fastest growing eth liquid staking providers, if not the fastest on the market. So Fracks is definitely what I'm looking at. And what I'm trying to do is just back teams that have shown the proficiency to continue to ship great products and great code over the duration of the bear market. Fracks has been one of them and actually just integrated with KiberSwap today. And we're seeing them continuously innovate. So they're a good one, but always bet on teams that it continues to innovate. Now, this video isn't a shill. I'm not showing my bags. In fact, I barely own any Frackshare. This video is to give you the idea that I'm starting to look at narratives to accumulate. This video is to give you the idea that you need to start looking at the sectors and concentrating on the sectors that you want to scoop up if we do get an altcoin record. Because I don't think it's good enough to sitting on the sidelines and saying, oh, wait, because then the dips will come and you don't know what you're buying. So I'm not saying these are all the tokens I'm buying. Of course, there are more tokens. There are some I'm not going to mention in today's video. But the point is, now is the time to start preparing. And if Fracks is one of them, add that to your watch list. Solana as well. If you believe in the L1, the Altair 1 thesis, I know the L2 narrative is super strong right now, but if you think there will be other proprietary L1s that can perform really well, then maybe look at something like a Sol, which has a really strong dev ecosystem and has a lot of great DeFi product shipping. You could get a good look at this at even lower prices. I think TraderXO posted a chart showing a $14 support for Solana. Scary stuff. But if you're in a position where you believe in it, then $14 would be a big opportunity for you. And you probably wouldn't panic when we get down there. Another one that I'm looking at, coincidentally, another sponsor of the show is OpenExchange. I'm actually looking at buying some OX tokens just because I think, look, they have had a huge run up. And I'm not going to give you financial advice as to whether to buy or not to buy because they are a show partner. However, I am looking into this because I think I really like what Carl and you were doing. Look, I know it is a kind of contentious subject because it's kind of like a hated narrative in the market, right? But I do see the value here in a new exchange that has the propensity to list new coins super quick, gain traction super quick and ship code super quick. And OX has been an interesting development because they've introduced this staking function, which you can see in front of you, which enables you to earn yield on your asset, reduce fees on the platform, as well as earning airdrops. So just the staking, you can earn access to their airdrops. As we can see at the moment, they're currently running their Justin tokens airdrops as part of their real world asset RWA initiative. So this is one that I'm looking into. And it's not just the token, it's just a platform in general that's showing growth. So I'm always looking for platforms in this market that are showing growth, even in the midst of a bear market. And OX, irrespective of the fact they're a show partner, has shown this. But of course, do your own research, not financial advice. I want to make that clear that I'm just giving you examples of narratives that are performing well, and you can look into them in your own time. But don't get too caught up in what's popular and what's not. Like look in front of you. Some of the most hated coins, Robit, Unibot, are OX. These have been some of the best performers over the last few weeks. So don't always get too caught up in what's popular and what's trending online. Sometimes, especially on Twitter, the tokens that are hated actually end up performing the best. So just remember, the market doesn't care about your bias. And if there's an opportunity to make money and your goal is to make money, well, try and take that opportunity irrespective of what the market thinks, because it's crazy. Some of the most loved coins have been the worst performers. Some of the most hated coins have been the best performers. And you always want to be on the lookout for outliers. The other one is Pepe and Meme coins. If you're trying to left curve next cycle, then you may get good looks into accumulating Doge and Pepe at historically low levels. Pepe hitting prices we haven't seen since the early days of its launch and Doge also retracing after that Elon pump. So needless to say, there is a lot of opportunities out there. But now's the time to refine your watch list. Now's the time to pay attention. Because if we do get a bleed from altcoins, you want to make sure you have a plan to accumulate these also potentially generational prices. And I get excited about the opportunity of getting some of these entries because I know what's going to happen next cycle. And we've seen this time and time again, where when people start to get despondent when they lose hope, when they think there's never going to be another cycle. That's when they get surprised. And yes, we don't know exactly when it's going to be. We don't know if it's going to line up exactly with last cycle. We don't know when but we know that if you have conviction, and you stick around and you invest in quality, you're putting yourself in a much better position to benefit next cycle. And I'm really excited about the opportunities that we're going to get potentially over the next few months to accumulate and maybe even into Q1 next year, things are delayed a little bit because you can never predict exactly when the market's going to run. But you can start positioning. And to be honest, if we've got six months of accumulation here, I wouldn't be too mad because that's six months longer that we get to stack. But we could see an acceleration over the next couple months. And for that reason, I would really keep my eye on the charts that I showed you today. Bitcoin dominance, but more importantly, that ETH BTC chart, please, please, please chart it. And I'll, of course, give you updates on that chart on the show, because that's going to tell us when we want to go heavier into alts. I'm starting to scale into narratives I believe in, but I'm not going too heavy yet until we get the alts bleeding a little bit more, then I'm going to go more aggressive. But I'm just waiting for that really red day in the market. And then I'll start to position. But of course, I stick to my normal DCA plan and I've already started accumulating some quality coins and starting to stack up a little bit. But yeah, still have a lot of stables ready to deploy. So that is my update. Hope you guys enjoyed the video. If you did, let me know in the comments below that you enjoyed it. Smash the like button and I will see you tomorrow. Peace out.

A highlight from LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED BITCOIN RALLIED 489% (Will History Repeat?)
"Pattern played out on Bitcoin, price rallied over 400 % to make new all -time highs. So in today's video, we are going to be unpacking the data to work out what's next for Bitcoin and will it mirror this previous massive move. Now, just to break down the agenda for today's show, it's going to be a massive one to contextualize where we currently sit in the market. I'm going to be discussing what are Bitcoin's upcoming catalysts because there are two major things that are going to drive price over the next couple of months. I also want to discuss where do we currently sit in the current cycle? Are we entering a new bull market? Are we still in the depths of a bear market? And when can we look at a significant price recovery? Because even though we've swung off the lows to reach those figures that you probably hear floating around like 60K, 100K, Bitcoin is going to need to have a massive move and of course a massive catalyst to get it there. So we're going to talk about when that could happen based on where we are in the current cycle. And next, I want to talk about what's the best window to accumulate. So in the context of the data I'm about to show you, what does this mean for actually buying Bitcoin and buying altcoins? How will altcoins respond to Bitcoin price action? That is all stuff I'm going to be talking about today. So that is the agenda. And without further ado, let's kick it off with point number one. What are Bitcoin's upcoming catalysts? Well, there are two that I want to talk about today. The first one is Bitcoin spot ETFs. And actually over the last few days, we had some massive announcements regarding the Bitcoin spot ETF. Now, the Bitcoin spot ETF news obviously caused a massive rally in the Bitcoin price when it was first announced, but we have seen a slow bleed over the past few weeks as we've started to see the SEC delayed the approvals or rejections, mind you, of some of these ETFs. But I want to remind you just how big of a catalyst this actually is for Bitcoin, considering it's going to allow retail and participants institutional to now access Bitcoin via the stock market. So your parents, your grandparents, people that may not necessarily be so used to using crypto exchanges will now be able to talk to their stockbroker or use their brokerage app to buy Bitcoin. And I think this could be a huge vertical for retail adoption and also institutions as it will now allow them to put Bitcoin on their balance sheet within the current regulatory frameworks. It also gives more validity, I think, to Bitcoin as an asset that could potentially lead to more fund managers, more companies, et cetera, adding Bitcoin to their books. It is huge, but obviously the market is waiting out for this approval via the SEC. BlackRock clearly being the company that has the biggest AUM, so assets under management in the world, leading the pack here in terms of positioning. Although we will see ARK get their decision slightly before BlackRock because they filed first. So let's look at some of the latest updates that we have had in the ETF realm, considering it's such a big pivotal moment for Bitcoin and as an extension of that crypto. So as expected, a couple of days ago, we did have the SEC delaying the ARK Invest filing. So it was officially delayed and there was no decision made on grayscale to do with their case versus the SEC in trying to convert their current fund, which is a futures fund into an ETF. So those were the first two things that we were waiting out for the grayscale trust conversion, as well as the ARK approval, none of which we got a confirmed answer on because ARK was delayed and there was no grayscale decision yet. But here are the dates that you need to look out for because the SEC can't keep kicking the can down the road forever. Eventually, they're going to have to make a decision. And although they have the right to essentially delay the decision one, two, three times on the fourth time, they do need to make a decision. However, they can choose to approve or just flat out reject it in any moment leading up to that final deadline. So we had the first deadline where we did see a delay from the ARK ETF, but we do have some more deadlines that are soon approaching here. You can see the dates clearly. We have the 17th of October, the 16th of October as well for iShares and Bitwise. We are now probably going to see ARK get delayed into its next threshold here, which is in November. So what I would keep my eye out for is some of the September and October approvals. So the next closest deadline is the first deadline on iShares and Bitwise on the 2nd of September and the 1st of September. So the 1st of September is the date to watch that is in two weeks when it comes to the spot Bitcoin ETF approval. If denied, then we are looking towards mid -October for the second round of deadlines. And then we also have the ARK one to look forward to slightly after that in November. So they can keep delaying it. But what we do know is that their final deadlines will start to hit on January 10th for ARK. And if that's approved, then that should lead to the approvals of more of these deadlines for iShares, Bitwise, etc. leading down the list in March. So January is the first final deadline and then the rest of the final deadlines hit in March. But September 1st is the next date that you need to watch out for in terms of the next potential day where we could see an approval or rejection. But because they're being so slow with ARK and they decided to delay and because they decided to not give a grayscale decision, I do anticipate that they will kick the can down the road a little bit further, which will keep investors waiting. And clearly this is what investors are waiting for when you look at Bitcoin price action. It's the biggest story in the market. And it did result in this move of the 200 MA of 23 % to the upside from 25K to 31K for Bitcoin. But now investors are just starting to get a little impatient, a little bit bored. I think the whole Bitcoin spot ETF narrative was overplayed during this run -up. And this is where you see some sellers start to exit the market. So some of the weaker hands now starting to exit that were holding on for a approval pump. Now, I still do think we get an approval pump by the way, because the probability from Bloomberg analysts is 65 % that we get a spot ETF Bitcoin approval. So if it is 65 % and you want to assume the market is pricing it in at 65%, if it gets approved, well, there's a discrepancy there of 35 % that the market isn't baking in that will likely result in a pump. So I do think if we get approved, this will lead to the next wave up for Bitcoin. And if you do want to take a similar move to what happened before of 25%, let's assume the same move is replicated from the current levels, then that could potentially take us to the 36 to 38K price target for Bitcoin. And that could happen as soon as September 1st or as late as January next year, depending on what happens with some of these filings. They also may ask for amendments, but definitely at some point, we will get a concrete decision. What happens on the flip side? If it is rejected, well, if it's rejected, I do think Bitcoin comes back down to that 25 to 26K level. If we are assuming that the market stays constant. So let's assume nothing happens in the macro realm. Nothing happens with the finance and the Coinbase cases and everything is the same as today. And we get a rejection today. Then I think we would come down to 26 ish K in that environment. But of course, things are going to happen in the meantime in the lead up to a potential rejection. But I am on the bullish side that we will get approval because they have made multiple amendments. BlackRock also has never really lost any of its spot filings. It has an exemplary track record. It's only ever gotten rejected once in its history. And when the biggest asset manager in the world decides to file, you better believe they've done their due diligence. And I believe that it will set a precedent for some of these other funds who are now copying the structure of the BlackRock ETF filing. So I am cautiously optimistic there that we will get an approval, but we will just need to wait for those dates that I mentioned. All right. What is your catalyst number two? It's of course the Bitcoin halving. Remember after I talk about catalyst number two, the Bitcoin halving, we are going to get into the question of where are we now versus previous cycles and what's next for Bitcoin based on the data that you're probably eager to hear about. That's in the title of the video. We're getting into that. But the second really important event that we have to analyze here is the Bitcoin halving. And let's look at the historical performance of Bitcoin leading into the halving and after the halving to try and map where we are in the cycle before we bring in some other data. So the Bitcoin halving is now 235 days away. If you don't know what the Bitcoin halving is, essentially the issuance of Bitcoin to Bitcoin miners will be halved. It's halved every four years. And essentially over time, this creates more scarcity for the Bitcoin asset. Now, miners essentially earning less means less Bitcoin is coming onto the market and it does have an effect on supply, of course. And when supply is contracted in the market, then price tends to find a new equilibrium if demand stays constant. That is a law of economics. However, the Bitcoin halving isn't just a supply side factor. It's actually more of a demand side factor. Now, that may sound counterintuitive at first because it's not a demand side event, but the hype leading into the halving and the narrative that it's assumed in its own right actually creates demand for Bitcoin as an asset. And because the Bitcoin issuance is going down, people start to believe it's more scarce. And as it becomes more scarce, demand actually also increases. So it is a supply and a demand side event, which is why historically combined with some other business cycle reasons, the Bitcoin halving has resulted in huge positive price performance for Bitcoin. If we look based on previous cycles and this cycle in terms of the four -year halving cycles, Bitcoin is currently 82 % of the way there towards the next halving. And typically what we've seen into halvings is a nice run -up. So we have seen a run -up during this period in the 2017 cycle. We actually saw a decline followed by a run -up post halving last cycle. But if you just look at the data, we know that typically roughly a year after the Bitcoin halving is when you get your blow off top. So it happened in 2013. The blow off top happened around a year later. It also happened again in 2017. The blow off top happened around a year later. It also happened in 2021. The blow off top happened about a year later after the halving. So if we take that into account and we look at the halving cycle, then you could start to affirm, yes, we're heading into the next cycle, but Bitcoin won't put in its peak until 2025. Because if the halving happens in April 2024, as per the calendar here, and blow off tops tend to happen a bit later, then we're actually looking at 2025 for the absolute Bitcoin highs. But Bitcoin tends to perform very well around the halving period as well. So we do see the uptick start to begin post halving. So if you line that up to this cycle, that would be April to May. We're going to talk about a few caveats with it and why this cycle may be different though. But that is essentially how Bitcoin behaves in the midst of Bitcoin halving. And you can see here that Bitcoin has historically been very predictable, aligning to this four -year cycle with new highs occurring shortly after the halving every single time. It's actually a bit less than a year. It was 240 days and 220 days, but that would still put us into the early stages of 2025 if you were to follow the previous cycle. But I guess the major caveat is point number one that we talked about, the spot ETF narrative, and this could drive enough demand for Bitcoin to speed up this halving cycle. So in my opinion, we could actually see a peak earlier if we can affirm we are following the halving cycle due to external catalysts, because not every market is the same. We have seen previous halvings, as I just showed you, for example, 2014, where Bitcoin actually reached its all -time high very quickly after the halving, just 90 days. And the time that Bitcoin takes to peak after the halving has actually diminished in 2021 versus the 2018 cycle. So that was also an interesting thing to note as well. We saw the absolute peak happened to 20 days after, but that first initial peak, if that was to be the all -time high, it would actually be closer to 160 days after. So not quite that full year that some people are anticipating. So 2024 could end up putting in the peak, especially if that spot ETF gets approved. But there is a lot of data based on the current macro cycle I want to get into in a few minutes, which can contextualize it a little bit better. I'm just kind of giving the very basic halving explanation to help you understand where we sit in halving terms. Benjamin Cowen said, during the last three pre -halving years, Bitcoin fell below its bull market support band for August slash September. The purpose of this correction is to flush out as many of the scams and cash grabs prior to the halving. No guarantee it happens this time, but certainly a strong possibility. And that's something I will say, even though we may be in the beginning of a new cycle, and we'll get into more of that evidence later, of course, you still have to take into account that there's still major flush outs. I mean, just look at what happened during the March 2020 crash. Of course, that was a black swan event, but there was a huge flush out and a lot of old coins got wrecked during that period. And we tend to see these flushes for Bitcoin. You could see it happened here in 2016. You could see it happened here in 2020, of course, even in 2019, you see these major flushes that happen even in the lead up to new all -time highs. So don't fade the possibility of getting buying opportunities just because we are in a new cycle. There are still major drawdowns and people panic. And this is where the weak hands get shaken up because they think, Oh my God, we're in a bear market again. Everyone sell, sell, sell. Whereas in reality, it's very normal for Bitcoin to correct the course 20 to 30 % on the run up to a new all -time high. That is very normal price action from Bitcoin. And that is where you do get your really good buying opportunities for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and of course, all coins, which often do get erect, heavier than Bitcoin in the lead up. I just want to reiterate this point about this spot ETF being a major event to keep your eye on on the 1st of September. That's going to be your next major announcement there. I also found this in relation to the halving super interesting. So Delphi Digital, we're going to go into their report in a minute, which looks into where we currently sit in the cycle, posted this photo, which basically shows you where we currently sit in relation to Bitcoin halvings and they can map the Bitcoin price cycle versus the Bitcoin halving date. And you can see here, we see the halving, we see the peak, then we see typically around a two -year bear market. Once again, we had the halving, we saw the peak, then around a two -year bear market. And if that does line up with the current cycle, then you would start to see an uptick now heading into the end of 2023 and early 2024. History doesn't always repeat, but it often rhymes. So this might be a good chart for you to screenshot or something if you just want to contextualize where we sit in terms of the halving. Now, let's get into the next question. Where the hell are we versus previous cycles? And what's next? So there is a lot of macro data, which is now playing into the current cycle. So the cycle doesn't operate in isolation, in my opinion. I don't think the Bitcoin halving is ever the sole reason for a Bitcoin pump. There are other market conditions, for example, quantitative easing last cycle, which contributed. So we want to look at what the contributors are this cycle and try and use some of our knowledge around the cyclical nature of Bitcoin and the business cycle to refer back to where we currently sit. That is how we're going to get the best estimation of where we sit this cycle. And there are a couple really amazing reports I want to break down for you. And it should definitively answer the question in this video, where do we sit versus previous cycles? And it should really help answer that question, what is next for Bitcoin? Before we answer that question, I just want to give a quick shout out to one of our official show partner Smart Decks. It's a very, very cool deck donating the negative effects of impermanent loss with their proprietary adjustment method, meaning LPs no longer need to worry about impermanent loss. And actually, there can be impermanent gain the way that they rebalance their pools. So it's really good for LPs. But what they're also doing is they're using strategies to boost their APYs across a variety of pools. So if you want to look at the LPs right now on Arbitrum, you can see that they're Arbitrum USDC pools paying 24%. Their native token pools are paying almost 100%. And if you go into Polygon, you can see, you know, their MaticUSDC pool, for example, are paying huge percentages, some of the biggest percentages in the market, S 25%, USDC Decks, etc. 93%. So just huge, huge APRs. Now, they are incentivizing this. So people might ask, Miles, why is it a huge API? Is it a Ponzi scheme? No, it's not a Ponzi scheme. It's a normal LP pool that you can deposit liquidity into. Keep custody of your assets just like a normal pool and earn yields on it. But they are incentivizing it with these multipliers, as you can see. So they won't be this high forever. Of course, they're a relatively new index. So they're trying to get TVL onto the platform. So if you want to take advantage of the super high APRs, you can today. But just to make it even sweeter, Banta is doing a one Ethereum giveaway. That's right. An airdrop of one Ethereum every single week to a random stake of that deposits a minimum of $50 of liquidity into the platform. So if you want to win one Ethereum this week, which I'll be giving away on my show on Friday, you have two more days. All you so Polygon, Arbitrum or BNB deposit liquidity into any of their pools. If you don't exposure to their token, you don't need to. You can pick any of the other tokens in these pools. Of course, minimum $50 and then go onto the dashboard, which is linked in the description and enter your wallet address. And you will then enter the running for the one Ethereum giveaway, which will be on my show. Pretty crazy. One Ethereum every single week to valued at around $1 ,800 just for someone that deposits liquidity. So you can literally put $50 of your own money into a pool. You don't win and withdraw. So I mean, do what you want. It probably makes sense to keep the money in. If you're thinking you're earning a good yield risk adjusted, of course, based on your goals. But yeah, if you do want to just get in for the giveaway, nothing stopping you from doing that either, technically. So link in the description to SmartX, the wallet address deposit side, and then also the farming side. Thought I would give a quick shout out to them before we get on with this question. What's next and where do we sit versus the previous cycles? So the first thing I want to talk about is the cyclical nature of Bitcoin. And a lot of people have been asking me like, Miles, what the hell is happening with the market? It's so boring right now. Well, this isn't abnormal for Bitcoin to have a weird August slash September period. What typically happens in August is a lot of the fund managers and the big VCs and the big quants and all these guys, they go around the holidays, especially the Europeans. They go away. They don't trade much. They know the summer period is not very active. So they decide to concentrate their time and liquidity into the months where there is more volatility. So August, typically in crypto, been a pretty boring month. I mean, it's averaged 0 .69%. And it's been one of the most boring months, aka, I'm defining boring as what is closest to 0 % returns. It has been the most boring month, 10 % total return, total return since Bitcoin inception, which is crazy. September, however, is the worst month in crypto. So this is super interesting and it lines up with some of the peaks, sorry, the troughs that Benjamin Cowen was showing just before how a lot of the time Bitcoin falls below its support band heading into September. This does also line up with the data that I've been analyzing about September being the worst month. Actually, the last six Septembers in a row have historically ticked red, typically quite a red month. Now, if this is the case and we affirm that we're in a new cycle, we'll get into that data, then September could be your best DCA buying month if we do end up getting a dip just like previous months. So although it can be scary, this could actually be a big buying opportunity as one of your opportunities to snap up Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, whatever you would like to purchase the next cycle if you can affirm on the way to a new cycle. So be very interesting to see whether September is also a red month. I think it can be a possibility if we do get that delay on September 1st, because if we get delayed again on the ETFs, then the market has less catalysts, especially if liquidity conditions worsen globally, which we're already seeing are starting to happen, especially like the macro in the US looking quite shaky. That could line up with the Bitcoin spot ETF delay and subsequently poor performance in September. So it wouldn't shock me. I can't predict what will happen in September. All we can do is look historically and say, we've got to be prepared here. Don't expect the massive pump to happen in September. But afterwards, well, different story. Bitcoin typically does have very good early Q1 and late Q4 performance, which kind of lines up with this pre -halving run that we have seen in previous cycles as well, right? So that's also quite interesting. So if we also want to look at the stock market, because Bitcoin's very related to the stock market, we could see stocks did have an amazing run up, but have also pulled back and are around 8 % of their highs in the S &P and around 10 % on the NASDAQ. And Bitcoin actually showing similar correlation and uptick in correlation to stocks, although correlation for Bitcoin on aggregate is much lower than it has been in the past. So Bitcoin not responding as much to the stock market as it used to. I still think they're closely tied in. I still think markets are highly cyclical. And we're going to have a look at that just now. But just interesting to note that we have seen that slight uptick after the stock market started to pull backwards. Bitcoin was running on its own, in its own little ETF narrative prior to that. Let's look at this, though. Very interesting. Stocks are also mimicking their price action. It's not just Bitcoin with its halving cycle. It's also the stock market that's closely following its 2015 to 2017 price action, where you have that massive drawdown, then you have the recovery, then another drawdown. And what actually happened to stocks is they rallied into the end of the year. So could we see this September lull and then a rally into the end of the year? Well, if we do follow the pattern from 2015, then that could be the case. But of course, different liquidity environment can't always line it up one to one and assume what happened last cycle will happen this cycle. Okay, guys, this is the best thread that I have ever read this year on Bitcoin cycles. So if you're still paying attention now, 22 minutes into this stream, keep watching because this 5 next minutes or 10 minutes is going to be completely alpha packed. And I'm not even going to break this down. I'm just going to read some of the thread and then give you my thoughts on the thread because of how in depth and amazing this was. So it was written by Kevin Kelly. He is the founder of Delphi Digital. He works closely with their analysts and he basically contextualize where we sit in the cycle. And his work was very good and also very telling of what happened next for Bitcoin. So let's read this. Evidence is piling up that we're in the early stages of a new cycle. Risk assets like stocks plus crypto have been sniffing this out all year. This isn't another bear market rally. Stick with me because it'll come full circle. To outsiders, crypto may look like it lacks rhyme or reason, but crypto markets are actually quite cyclical. They're also surprisingly consistent in their timing between peak to trough bottoms, recovery time and timing of rallies to new cycle tops. Using Bitcoin as a benchmark, a typical cycle looks like this. Bitcoin hits new all -time high, as we've seen many times before, suffers an 80 % drawdown, as has happened every cycle, takes two years to recover to the prior high, as has happened every cycle, and price rallies for another year before reaching the new all -time high. The last three cycles have followed this blueprint almost exactly. Each of these cycles last typically four years. Bitcoin price peaks occur around the same time the ISM, that's the manufacturing index, shows signs of topping out. Active addresses, total transaction volumes, total fees, they all peaked alongside tops in the ISM too. As the business cycle shows signs of recovery, so too does network activity levels. So he's using the price manufacturing index, so that is your synonymous indicator with the business cycle in general, to contextualize that alongside Bitcoin. So he's making the point here that Bitcoin doesn't operate in isolation, it operates alongside the real world US business cycle. And that's also a reason for Bitcoin network usage. In fact, Bitcoin's year -on -year percentage change usually shows signs of a reversal near bottoms. And so far, that is exactly what we've seen. Now, this is the chart that's in the thumbnail of the video, maybe if we, because there's two thumbnail options I'm deciding between, but maybe in the thumbnail of the video, that is probably one of the most telling charts. We can see, typically, Bitcoin price ends up responding around the trough of the ISM. So we saw this crossover happen in 2015 -2016. We saw it happen in the lead up to the 2021 bull run. And then we also are now starting to see it happen again. Every time this line intersects, we start to see recoveries take place. It kind of oscillates between its highs and its lows. If this is the case, then you could affirm that last November, we had the lows set in on the PMI. And consequently, we had the lows set in on Bitcoin as well during the November FTX collapse. That's very interesting. What's also remarkable is how closely the ISM has tracked the trajectory of its prior cycles, including the timings of its peaks and troughs. Every 3 .5 years, it's rinse and repeat like clockwork. You can see it here. Business cycle peak to trough exhibits predictable pattern. You have the peaks, you have the troughs. You have the peaks, you have the troughs. We had a trough. Are we now going to be heading into another peak? Well, history would suggest we are every 3 .5 years. So this is quite interesting because it may give us some evidence that the Bitcoin halving is not just driven by the supply or demand side factors relative to solely Bitcoin. It may also be driven by the overall business cycle. And the reason that we get these pumps is because Bitcoin falls into the overall business cycle alongside its own halving narrative. And that's a powerful combination.

Pastor Greg Locke Anticipates Another Revival
"Back. I'm talking to my friend pastor Greg Locke. He is the founding and lead pastor of global vision Bible church in mount Juliet, Tennessee, right outside Nashville author of a number of books. You know, Greg, what I always say to my buddy Ken fish. It's like part of the frustration is there is so much of this and so few who are trained in dealing with it. Which is why I'm glad you're doing this every single week in your church because there is so there are so many people suffering from this and I really believe this is an end time move of God that we're going to see people coming to faith as a result of this kind of ministry. Oh, absolutely. You and I both, you know, we share a love for revival history, right? And so it's not that God didn't do amazing things in the past. But if you look at every single revival in the past, you look at the Welsh revival, azusa street browns will first and second great awakening the hebrides revival, you know, Jeremiah Calvin landfire survival. All of them had a limitation because when deliverance started to break out, it was shut down. It's exactly what happened with the Jesus revolution with the whole Time Magazine thing. Whenever deliverance got to a place where it started making people uncomfortable, it was shut down. And I think that we are right now in the prophetic film and of the book of Joel in the last days, God will provide a spirit upon all flesh or what does that look like in the last days whosoever should call upon the name of the lord shall be delivered. And people are like, well, you know, deliverance ministry is not in the Bible. In the model prayer Jesus said deliver us from evil. And so it's all over the Bible. There are 286 verses in Matthew Martin Luke and John, where Jesus converses with and cast out demons. It's a third of his ministry. And then the disciples and then the 70 and then you and I Mark 16. Paul, Stephen, Philip, it's all in the Bible.

"single week" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"5 weeks of gains on the NASDAQ 100 up every single week this year and then it has to confront some turbulence on Friday and into Monday. Equity futures are down by 9 tenths of 1% on the NASDAQ down three quarters of 1% on the S&P, Mike Wilson and Morgan Stanley saying this morning it may take a bit longer for the market to price some materially below consensus view on earnings and the fact that the fed and fed policy is restrictive in the context of an earnings recession, we remain convicted in our thesis, the bears this morning part of it aren't. We're negative down the Russell by about 8 tenths of 1% in the bond market twos tens and 30s look like this. You're two year through four 40, a little bit earlier this morning, started the year at about four 42. Got as low as 4.03% intraday at one point this year and seemingly threatened to break into the threes. And here we are again off the back of a blowout payrolls report. The fed share last Wednesday said the disinflationary process had started. Muhammad's been counting, elery and the FT this morning. He said fetcher J Powell referred to disinflation some 11 times. He pointed out the word did not come up at all in Lagarde's news conference, or Andrew Bailey's press conference. This is well, this is hilarious. He's so good. He's absolutely right about the fed focus on disinflation and there was a dearth of it as we attempted to declare victory at Chilean Bailey and Lagarde. I'm not sure what she was doing. Just trying to get through it and calm people. She said the inflation story was becoming more balanced. And Eurozone has taken a dive ever since off the back of some of that data on Friday at least payrolls. Payrolls engineering some real dollar strength. You're a dollar seemingly looking at one ten and then bank. Bran might one O 7 72 on Euro dollar this morning. The interesting thing is perhaps madam Lagarde did not mention disinflation, but the read through to markets was the same as though she had, right? I mean, basically people were reading the same message into both regardless of the perhaps different emphasis. I will say this week we are focused on earnings. We have reached or we're about to reach the halfway mark with respect to S&P earnings. I just wanted to point out a couple of names ahead of the Uber and Lyft earnings that we get a later this week. Tesla shares are up this morning after saying that they are going to raise the cost of their model Y long range vehicle by $1500 to 54,990. This is for you, Tom. The reason why I think this is interesting is because there was a sort of race to the bottom that was the narrative last year last week, rather for some of these electric vehicle manufacturers perhaps that's shifting just a bit or at least more nuanced Uber shares ahead of their earnings on Wednesday rising. They said that they were going to sell a stake that they had in a Russian taxi and car sharing joint venture and partly that might be why they're upset with percent, but really people are looking at consolidation of market share. We saw Lyft greatly underperform Uber last year. Those shares lower by 2.2%. And John, to me, I'm curious to see this in terms of the dualities when you've got two major players. Do you start to see a lot more concentration of business in one as the economy perhaps doesn't soften materially, but changes and normalizes in a new monetary regime. I won't pick out a single name, but we do have to study the viability of some of these businesses that cropped up in a world of zero interest rates. And I'll give credit to Joe Wilson, who said this repeatedly. The bubble of the last ten years wasn't just built on the foundation and low interest rates. It was cheap and stable labor prices as well. And that story Thomas changed markedly over the last couple years. To me, the fundamental thing and it will be studied for ten, 20, 30 years as the Amazon dynamic and what that did to regional economies where you pop through 12, 13, 15, $17, somebody told me the other day that, you know, the new $17 is $22 an hour. They added a million employees in a pandemic. One company. One company. I mean, that number is just amazing, Tom. It's amazing. We'll have to see we got terrific news for today at some point we will talk about Renault and Nissan. I think there's a backstory there that's fascinating for Europe. But right now, Michael shell joins us, chief executive officer, market field asset management with a very, very nuanced note there. How did your view change the market field view after 517,000 plus 54,000 revisions? How did the labor economy of the United States adjust your view? I mean, I thought it was strong and Friday's numbers told you it was strong. I do think it's one of those reports that looks like a bit of a statistical aberration. It's sort of strong across the board. It's a weird time of year, and you had all of the 2022 adjustments thrown into that. So I think probably we're still creating about 200,000 jobs a month. All of the labor metrics look okay. And in Friday's number, particularly in the household survey, you discovered a bunch of missing jobs that Jay Powell had

Do Your Adult Children Call You? Or Do You Call Them?
"Right, I'd like to do a non news idea here, exploring life with you. Dull child is out of the house. God willing. How many times a week a month a year do you talk? And is there an optimum I called my parents every single week? I have no idea if that's the optimum. I speak to my sons, well, one works with me a lot. So I don't know if that counts. And the other one who doesn't, it could be three times a week, it could be nothing for two weeks. And I wonder if there is enough room, and I wonder if you have a theory as my father did only the child calls the parent. Well, what was it in your case? The jurors, your parents call you, but it's generational, I think. Yeah. I understand it to a certain extent. I have some sympathy for that. The kid should call the parent. Do you agree with that? Oh, that's interesting.

Parenting Autistic Children David Grant MBE - burst 2
"This episode will be doing things a little bit differently, though, as I'll be interviewing my husband, yes, fellow broadcast a vocal coach and leadership coach and campaigner David grant. As we talk about our own experiences of raising four neurodivergent children, welcome to the show David. Wow, nice to be here, Gary. So for those people that don't know about our family, could you just give us a rundown of our kids? Okay, we have four children our eldest olive is an actor. Our and olive is 27. Next in line is Thailand, who is 20 and also an actor. Next in line is Arlo, who is 16 and at school. And next is in line is Nathan, who is 12. And supposed to be at school, but currently not in school. Yes, okay, so you just had a little bit of a hint towards their not in school. That's been a familiar experience for us with three out of the four children. Because you've named all of their ages in their names and stuff. But what about their diagnoses? Just run me by some of the diagnosis that our children have got. Okay, I will, but because this is like a pick and mix at which point I'm bound to forget some. Would you jump in if I forget any? Yes. Because you know them as well as I do. Olive, has a disparity. And ADHD, Thailand is on the autism spectrum. And Arlo, third is on the autism spectrum. And Nathan. Now I got a minute rewind rewind back up back up. Arlo is autistic and has ADHD. Of course, yes, I forgot all of it as a whole a whole suit of what coterie. Yeah, these disabilities, they're traveling gangs, don't they? And has ADHD. Nathan a 12 year old has ADHD DMDD. Probably dyslexia. Even though they're still working on a diagnosis, and yeah, we have, you know, at some point, if anybody does disability bingo, we jump up and say house. Yeah, well, it's interesting you say disability because I don't really think of them as being disabilities. I think of them as being just different. I don't think of them as there are any disabilities in the light of the fact that the world is so unaccepting. That's very true. I think that one of the things with an invisible disability so it's called is that, you know, if we what we have done in our family is to recognize that the reason why it's called a disability is because some people find it more challenging to do things that neurotypical people take for granted. On the other hand, without children, it's also proven to be a different ability, because so many of them are able in ways in so many ways that they might not otherwise be able. You know, the gifted in ways that they might otherwise not be gifted. They're different and see the world in ways that absolutely challenge a neurotypical vision of the world. Yeah, and that's what we love about them. So tell me what it was like when all of these diagnoses that you've just mentioned there started to pop up. How did that come about and what were your feelings? Well, it's interesting. I've spoken to so many parents because we run parent groups. And I spoke to so many parents about the initial diagnosis and the reactions have been very, very many in varied, you know, for some people, it's a bit of a shock for some people it's almost like a disappointment for others. It's a surprise for others. It's an explanation. And I would say for us, well, certainly for me, it was in part an explanation. And also, in part, a sort of a wake-up call that said to me, this journey isn't going to be anything that you might have imagined. It is going to be. We don't know what it's going to be, but what we do know is that it's going to, it's going to plow its own field and chart its own course when we first got the diagnosis of our second and third Thailand and Arlo, the ones who are now 2016, which we got the autism diagnosis on the same day. Tai was 7. Aloe was three. What was that like for you? I have to be honest. And there was absolutely no sort of like heightened emotion connected to it, concern or disappointment or what was there was, okay, I need to now discover what this means. What this means for them, what this means for us and how it makes things different. Is it going to make things different if it does? How is it going to make things different? Because it didn't change them in any way. They got in the car. You got given the diagnosis and then they just got in the car and they were still Tyler and Arlo, weren't they? They had to change. But with that bit of paper yeah, it didn't change them one dot. One shot. One bit. But what it did change was my awareness of who they were. What it did change is my awareness that they may see the world a different way. And I didn't know what that was going to be, because there are only 7 and three, but what I did know was that the carnage journey that you can prescribe and chart out and say that the raising of a child is likely to fall within these parameters. There may be anywhere from track a to track B but the train is going to run along these tracks in some way. That went completely out of the way. I didn't realize at the time just how far out of the window it was going to go. But I did think, okay, this changes things. And one of the, I mean, some people might call it exciting with the benefit of hindsight, but at the time slightly sort of slightly nerve wracking things was having no idea of what it meant was going to change as they grew and as they developed. And as they began to inhabit the fullness of their personhood and understand the fullness of their identities, what was going to change. Well, we didn't know. And I think that, you know, there's a saying that everyone to see person probably knows, which is even if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person. And even with just having two children on the spectrum in the family, the presentation is so entirely different. Yeah, they are. If somebody said to me, when we got the diagnosis, this is what autism looked like. And used one of them as in illustration. It would have completely excluded the other. Because the other one wouldn't have got a diagnosis based on that. It's very, very good point. So you've talked about what it was like to kind of grow in your knowledge of them and who they might become and to understand them a little. But what about parenting? Have you changed as a parent? This was 2009 if I remember. So we've had a good few years since. Have you changed as a parent? As a parent, I am unrecognizable from the parent I was in 2009. Now let's be really honest about this. Anybody who has raised a child will say, well, yes, of course, the parent you are to a 16 year old and the same parent you are to three year old. So there's the natural evolution of your relationship that happens as your child grows and matures. But there's also, I think that certainly for me having children on the spectrum, it meant that I needed to really abandon everything I thought I knew about parenting. It meant that I had to discover and develop a bespoke style of parenting that fitted specifically the child that was in front of me rather than having a general sort of one size fits all approach because it absolutely didn't fit. And really, it's not to my credit that I think that I was quite resistant to that because of the way they don't fit the one size fits all. Then it's obviously because I'm not implementing the one size fits all with enough figure. So I need to I need to just retrain and double down on the one size fits all and it will work and the fact is it was never going to work. And it kind of I would say out of the two of us, I was you were the hair when it came to realizing that we needed to adapt and adopt a new parenting style and we need it to be fluid and I was very much the tortoise. There was a kind of rigidity of no this is how you do it. And you know, I think that with regard to parenting, having children on the autism spectrum has taught me and continues to teach me is teaching me to be a parent, I would otherwise never have been. And I think that had I never have been, I would have missed a lot. There's a lot of their growing up that I got by constantly having to reassess and reappraise and recognize who they are now. You know, not living on who they were last year or last week, even. You know, who are they now? Who are they today? And who do they need me to be today? Yeah. So you talked about the fact that it took you a little bit longer to describe yourself as the tortoise. So how was that then? Well, I made the tool to seem like St. Louis Hamilton. We got the diagnosis in 2009. Up until about 2012, I thought there's something wrong with these kids because they're really not getting my style of parenting. About 2012, I began to realize there was something wrong with me because I wasn't being the parent they needed me to be. And then I was all at sea. I think I took a little while to actually work out. If I've got autistic kids, I need to learn, it's not me teaching them and then learning how to be. It's actually me learning and I think that I think that when I kind of was humble enough to recognize that I didn't actually know, you know, sometimes you don't know what you don't know. But when you've got autistic children and they need you to be a parent, you have to learn what you don't know. You have to realize what you don't know and it is certainly in my case. I think I learned a lot from watching you, but I also learned a lot from realizing that I couldn't be you and I couldn't just be you the deeper voice that I actually had to change me. I couldn't just ape behavior that I saw it with someone else. I had to change the way my outlook and gosh, I would say that you're saying how long did it take to be? Well, the diagnosis arrived 13 years ago. And I consider myself still to be under construction, and a work in progress, because the dads that I was 5 years ago that they needed me to be 5 years ago isn't the dad they need me to be now. Because they've changed. Yeah. You talked a little bit there about you said this lovely phrase bespoke parenting. So just give me some examples of what you have bespoke. Bespoken. Okay, it's interesting because with, I was 16 year old, there was a rigidity of actions that isn't always, so it wasn't just a rigidity of thinking. So with Arlo, we have certain things. I am my face is a stress toy. I actually, I mean, I know I look like this, but you know, I think I would look about maybe 15 years younger, if not for all. All that has to excuse my face. And they always squeeze my face and there are certain things that we do. There are certain actions that we do. There are certain little dances we do. There are certain words that we say. I don't even understand your communication. I mean, you two are like a whole, you're like a double act. I know. It's all part of my being father to Arlo, is that we have loads of unspoken communication. That revolve around movement and actions and dances and laughing at the same thing that other people don't understand what's going on. I've had to learn that I've had to enter into our lives world and learn how that world works. On a practical thing, although loves to have drives, they want to have a drive once a day. It's part of a de stressor towards the end of the day. Some people read or watch TV or they're too young to have a drink, they go on a drive. They sit in the car and listening to music and we drive and 40 minutes later, half an hour, 40 minutes later, we arrive back home and they're in a different head space to the one they were when we left. And that's an important thing. So whatever the schedule will have my day. If I'm at home or if I'm coming home, I know I need to be out for that drive for Allah because that's an important part of parenting are there. And it's an interesting thing that to me, it's not even I don't even think of it as a chore or a stress. It's just part of being a dad. It's part of being their dad. Yeah. Because I actually think that, you know, speaking of bespoke parenting, I could quite probably be a rubbish dad to every other child in the world, but I've learned how to be the dad that the children I have need. Yeah. And that is bespoke. It is also humor. You have loads of humor, I would say, with Arlo. Yeah, yeah, we are a lot. Mostly at me, but often at all because Arlo is really funny at all that has learned to laugh at themselves in a way that they couldn't when they were younger. You know, in the early teens, they could not laugh at themselves because I think they felt such a level of low self worth and such a lack of confidence that to laugh with them at themselves would have been perceived to be laughing at them. And one of the ways that I can see that their confidence is growing and their belief that they have a place in the world is growing. Is for how much they laugh at themselves, how much of their humor is directed inwards. Yeah. I agree with you on that. Okay, so that's Arlo, who's our 16 year old. What about Tyler and katana is very different? What have you had to change very different? In your parenting of time and what's changed there for them? I think in my parenting style and what's changed is to listen to time. It's to really listen is to not be so ready to give advice, not be so ready to give an answer because even sometimes when ty says. I need to know what to do. I know that what will happen is that I'll be giving answers. And they'll be saying no, those aren't the answers. That's really bad advice. What I should be doing is this. So it's almost like they're using me as a sounding board. A classic example is when we run our way up to Holly oaks for their final audition. Time is one of the members of the cast of Holly oaks down. And it was their final audition and they were absolutely wrapped with nerves. And we're driving along the M1. And they're almost crying with us. And I thought this isn't good for them. It's really isn't good. And I said, you know what? I want you to know you don't have to do this. We can turn the car around and we can go back, and they said, so that's the worst thing you could have said. You can't say that. This is what you're supposed to say. I told you what they wanted to hear. And you know, it's a completely different kind of relationship to all that. And how we connect and how we relate is to share time together. Yes. And that's the wonderful thing we're tie. I mean, tiles say there's a box set that I've been watching and I really want you to watch it. So I'll sit and watch. And you know, maybe in the course of an hour, we'll say three or four sentences, but time. That's together time. That's valuable time. That's been our time. And you know, it'll be, I'll get a text with have a listen to this music or I'll send them some music. And tire listens and goes, yeah, I like this. I really like this. And then he'll put that on his playlist and that'll be and that will be a connection to the communication because what tie really loves. One of the things that I love is that feeling of being part of my heritage and my dad played this for me or my dad told me about this. And then what ty does then is to do the same for me. So I know you're like this. Have you heard of such and such? And it'll be somebody that I liked when I was 20 years old or something. And then we'll connect on that level, but it's a very, very different communication to our lows, but it's just as deep and it's just as valid, but it's entirely different. And if I was to switch and relate to time, like I do to other and relate to other, like I do to tie it, I would be completely disconnected from a couple of meltdowns going on there for sure. Yes. So you and I have run a parent support group. It has over a 180 parents, families, and we work with the families and with the children. That's been running for very long while. And over lockdown, you have run your weekly meeting online every single week for those parents. And I've been absolutely amazed and marvel at you and your consistency and the way that you love those parents is just wonderful. I love them too, by the way. But I love watching you talk to it to them. If there's parents of autistic children listening today or families of autistic children. What advice would you have? You know those parents when they join our group. What do they most need to hear? I think what most autistic superior will most parents of autistic children that join our group and need to hear is that they're not alone on this journey. I don't think that most people need parenting advice. Occasionally people will ask, look, this is a situation how would you approach this situation and ask the group? But generally, I mean, we're talking about super parents, parents who sacrifice everything and are willing to sacrifice everything. And by that, I'm not talking about money or material I'm talking about themselves. They're hopes aspirations, dreams, whatever they expected for themselves later on in life is just like that all of that gets put into a margin. That gets parked and everything is focused on the needs of their children. So what they need to hear generally is you're not alone on this journey. We've all walked this journey and so when you say something that to somebody else who isn't on this journey may sound outrageous about how you feel about what you're going through about how challenging or difficult or impossible you feel, how inadequate you feel to the task, it's fine to say it here because we've all felt it and we've all expressed it. And the other thing is having a space in your life where you can describe without having to explain, I think that so much energy is spent and wasted and exhausted by people feeling as though they have to explain their children. They have to explain their situation. They stand with a teacher. People say, wow, your child's your child's not that at all. Your child's like this. And they go, well, no, you don't know the whole picture. There is a different person at home to the one in school or the one not in school because they refuse to go into school. Or the one not sleeping because they're refused to go to bed or whatever. Just having a space where you can describe, but you don't have to explain because everybody else who is listening to you gets it. So is your advice that people link up with other parents? I think it's really important to do that. I think it's so important to do that because I think that in Albert Einstein said, if you measure the fish by how well it climbed a tree, you would think it was stupid. And quite often, all we get in terms of a metric for our own children is the yardstick of a kind of neurotypical world. And if the neurotypical world is the tree, our children may be the fastest swimmer in the ocean, but they're not going to climb the tree. So yes, I think it's really important to link up with other parents who are walking the same walk. Others who are in the same situation others who will be able to listen to you and not just sympathize and not just empathize but experientially understand. Yeah. No, I know for many of our families that we support theirs. There's quite a high percentage of their children and young people and we see this in the adults as well autistic adults might be struggling with their mental health, what have you learned about coming alongside our children in their mental health crises? Wow. I think I've learned more than anything that there's no quick fix. There are no easy answers and presents is everything. And that there's no guarantee that if you do a and B, you're going to get C that two and two are going to act a four. But what I do know is this that our children, even when they, we sometimes become The Rock against which they bash. And we feel bashed, but we're the only rocks they've got. And so the thing that I think is how important it is to be there and to listen and when possible to talk them down and when necessary to talk them up and also more than anything to also come alongside others so that we guard our own mental health. Because it's impossible to carry somebody if you're limping. You know, it's really so much harder. And yeah, our children's mental health is such a big deal. It's such a big deal. And it can turn on a sixpence. Everything can be going well. And then one thing, real or imagined, one thing can completely trans the picture. And so I think that most parents I know with autistic children live as such are a level of hyper vigilance that, if anything, yeah, do what you do and be there the way that you're there. But please remember your own mental health, remember your own need for support, remember your own need to be heard. Yeah, and to find voice. Just moving on to, I guess that thing of school and the workplace, how well or not well, our things set up for allowing our neurodivergent people to thrive. Wow. That's really interesting. It's an interesting question because the question in itself is it presupposes that any advanced society would recognize that there is more than one way of seeing the world and there is more than one way of thinking and therefore. An advanced society like ours would set things up that everybody, whatever that, not just the well-being of whether the neurological situation would be able to say, yeah, there's a space for me. There's a place for me. There's an opening for me. There's an acceptance of me. People are making the allowances I need made so that I can thrive, not just so that I can fit in and limp along, but so that I can thrive. But that doesn't really exist in any way like the number that it should. The number of employers who I think employers should be made to have a number of people who are on the autism spectrum, a number of people who have just had a neurodivergent. I think it's really important we get away from this cookie cutter one size fits all everyone has to look the same and replicate one another's strengths in order to fit in. And yeah, I suppose my answer so far suggests that I don't think that nearly enough is done. I don't think the nearly enough is being done. There's so much talent and there's so much ability there's so much intuition and knowledge and just being wasted being sidelined being overlooked being ignored. And if it wasn't overlooked, how much richer we'd be, the companies that actively seek out people on the spectrum because they have an attention to detail perhaps that others don't have or they have a skill set that I was specially interested, which means that they know their stuff almost as much as a PhD student would know just because they're taught themselves that kind of auto didactic skills that so many autistic people have, if only there was a recognition that these aren't just skills that come from a hobby. These are skills that become so deeply engraved. So knowledge based and so worthwhile that their valuable if we could find and be made to find ways to fully utilize the gifts and the talents that we have from people on the autism spectrum, the world would be a much richer place because so many of the things that enrich the modern world were devised or created developed or initiated by people on the autism spectrum. Yeah, which is exactly what all too kind of trying to do. That's absolutely you've just given their remit basically their davids. And we know that for Thailand, their workplace at hollyoaks has they've made all those kinds of adjustments four Thailand. So there is some good practice happening out there, isn't there, but there is. But probably not enough. And I do want to also about people even disclosing that they are artistic before they can even get to the needs that I might have. It is this sense of disclosure. How do we change perceptions out there, David? Gosh, I think that we change perceptions by I think drawing a line that delineates between our understanding of terminology and understanding that the term different and the term normal shouldn't actually be the opposite of one another. That your normal isn't my normal. And the your differences could complement my differences. The fact is that we've created an environment where two often people who are different in any way feel as though they have to underplay or deny their differences and create some kind of fake fake normal that fits with other people. And I don't think that that I don't think that that's right and I don't think it helps. But I can understand why. You know, somebody walked into a typical edition and started by saying, I'm autistic. They don't know they don't know the reaction they're going to get. They don't know whether the person sitting opposite is going to get, you know, yeah, fine. You almost want to go in and say, could you just tell me what you think is autistic looks like? Hear what they say and then

"single week" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Have over 10,000 nurses joining our platform every single week. And that industry average of 82 days, which you've shortened to 14 days. How does 82 days that average now compared to what we've seen in the past? I guess what I'm asking is, did the pandemic exacerbate that? Has that average grown longer? The pandemic has definitely exacerbated that number so that average house gotten longer because we are continuing to face a very severe labor shortage in nursing and as well as other healthcare professions. And then the other key number that pandemic has impacted this turnover, the average turnover for nurses in the U.S. was about 17% before the pandemic has now on average 21 and a half percent. Well, tell us a little bit about I was talking to somebody within the nursing community and just said, COVID, monkeypox, you name it, women, individuals, men, people who are in the nursing field have just kind of had it. Have we lost or how many have we lost from this field? So we are increasingly losing nurses from this field. So our third annual data report from earlier this year showed that one third of nurses are considering leaving the profession permanently by the end of 2022. And so this is a workforce that has been negatively impacted in some cases, you know, decimated by the pandemic. They are being overworked and experiencing extreme fatigue and stress and burnout at the moment. And how do you, how do you address retention then burnout is such a big issue? So a couple of key ways first are the employers using our platform enjoy a 15% increase in their baseline retention rates because of earth's was able to consider multiple opportunities for selecting that specific employer. But we also in our surveys and our data shows that the top reasons why nurses are changing jobs is by far the number one is career advancement. They're looking for more career advancements. They want to lower their skills, move into leadership, cross train. Become more specialized. And so the hospitals and health systems that are investing in career advancement for nurses are enjoying better retention rates. A big thanks to doctor riman abuse, CEO and cofounder at incredible health. Katie taking part there as well. By the way, she did mention to us that the company's ultimate goal is to go public.

Most Journalists Are Comfortable Defending the Status Quo
"Interesting is that most people go into journalism because they have this idea, albeit misleading and misguided that when they join these major media institutions, they're going to be exposing corruption and fighting the man. Now that sort of spirit of kind of regime challenging journalism, that dies when you go to journalism school. That dies when you go to the university of Missouri journalism school, which is one of the best in the country. It dies when you go to Columbia journalism school, which is supposed to be one of the best. You see, most we deal with a lot of journalists in our life kind of more incoming than anything else, especially on the left, is that they're very comfortable protecting and defending. The status quo of the regime. In fact, they look at it, their job is to not try to root out corruption wherever it might be or inconsistencies or hypocrisy or cover stories that matter. Now instead, the journalists that are now in power, especially with The New York Times and The Washington Post and Huffington Post, they are activists with a Twitter account, a notepad, and a word quoted to meet every single week. These are the exact same people that would be participating throwing rocks and BLM riots. If they didn't have to submit a story once every two weeks, these are the very same people that basically do the press releases for Department of Justice and CIA and the FBI, and they just rewrite it as a news story.

You inspired life is hard. I don't think we have to take it too seriously. So throw your hair up your earbuds in and let's get to work. Hello and welcome to another episode of the goodhearted podcasts. I am so excited to share with you today. A conversation. I had with my really good friend chelsea hall all about rest recharging hustle culture and all the things that we struggled with when we were building our businesses in our early twenties and how it looked so drastically different now that we're thirty or almost thirty and really have our footing and have realized how important rest is in order to sustain a business and to actually enjoy the light that you're trying to build and you know save money for all of these things versus just working at a way being so addicted to the grind. I think no matter what you do as far as career goes or what your life looks like. This is a conversation that you need to listen to because we all need the permission and the reminder to rest and to schedule it in or just added into our day throughout the day to make sure that we're recharged in taking care of ourselves. Chelsea has been a photographer for over a decade now and she specializes in weddings. I love that. She takes a photo journalist approach to wedding days and she's also very passionate about making sure that humans feel comfortable in front of her camera so they can show off their true selves and she can capture them in that way. She's a proud rescue cat. Mama ana music junkie. I love watching her dance parties on her instagram stories. She photographs right here in dayton ohio. And i'm so thankful. I met her so long ago. And we've been able to grow and evolve over the last few years as business owners. I really hope you enjoyed our conversation. Chelsea welcome to the goodhearted podcast.

I've been a professional photographer. it's two thousand twelve. I'm celebrating a decade in business. Next year is super exciting I started my business in two thousand twelve. I pry graduated from rate state university with a bachelor's degree in mass communication focused in photojournalism right before i graduated new york times decided that they were going to fire. Author photojournalists So i was just really nervous to go in that direction and really knew that. I wanted to continue with photography in see where that road would take me so i decided to teach myself richer and at that time i had a fine art and photo journalism background with photography. And that's when. I decided that was gonna try out weddings newborns and families an everything just kind of figure out what i wanted and i decided that mixing photojournalism in documenting a day with the torture that i taught myself was perfect for weddings where i can adjust if i on the wall. What makes my heart happy. Which documenting things. I love your style. It is definitely like documentary style. And i just love it seems so true to the actual events that happened and i feel like in pataki. Obviously we've both been winning offers. I feel like sometimes that can get lost in translation because of crazy edits and posing and things like that and you do a great job. I love it And so when we met you had been in business for a couple years at that point for. That's what i'm thinking.

"Sit here for four hours every single week night starting at 10 P.m. eastern time. 7 P.m. Pacific. Okay. First hour of the show. We took some time to talk about the New England Patriots. Yeah, the team that had Tom Brady and, you know, help cause a Chazz, um, allowing him to walk away and when another Super Bowl with the Buccaneers And Tom Brady. He sure as hell enjoyed that Super Bowl. He enjoyed that victory. As he was all over the Internet this afternoon. Drunk as a skunk at the parade. He's going this way. He's going that way. He needs a little bit of help walking. Tom Brady tweeted out that it was a little too much. Have a codel tequila. So maybe Tom Brady. He doesn't deviate from that diet that he eats. Whatever God bless Tom Brady. Greatest quarterback of all time. Bruce Arians had a hell of a time last night and what we talked about last hour. Really took a look at just the circumstances at which Tom Brady left the Patriots, and if the Patriots could have done things better. Just a potentially keep Tom Brady. Maybe add some talent around him. You cannot dispute the success that the Patriots have had over the past 21 years. You can't dispute The talent that has come into the building. But over the past several years we saw that level of talent deteriorate. The New England Patriots missing out on players like Debo, Samuel Nick chump Darius Leonard. Juju Smith Schuster, Alvin Kamara Chris Godwin, who just was catching passes this past season from Tom Brady, Kenny Golladay. The Patriots. Nothing is perfect. They walked away with six titles. It's like a 20 year run of dominance Sands that gap. They still never had a losing season. I think anybody would sign up for that. You can't take that away from the success of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. One hand washes the other but one thing that we've seen from Tom Brady and yes, he's the most accomplished football player ever. At this point in time, he can call the shots. He decided to leave. He went down to Tampa. Won a title and we are starting to see more quarterbacks just pretty much decide. Where the hell they want to go. This isn't anything new in professional sports. This isn't anything new, even in the NFL. Players move around all the time. A few nights ago, I told you just how young and my and my my opinion because I'm looking at this from a lifetime's perspective. I know we have some listeners who are tuned in right now. One of our previous callers, he's in college. I know we have some listeners who are younger than that, and we also have some some listeners who are closer to 100. Okay, I know there's some listeners out there who are in their eighties. I know God bless you. There's someone out there listening and their nineties Maybe there's someone listening who's older than 100. The possibility and as I sit here, so look at an MBA, which is approximately 70 years old. So look at an NFL, which is 100 years old, but you want to go ahead and look at the merger. You have to go back to the seventies. That's that's pretty young. You look at Major league Baseball 120 years the NHL Ah 100 plus years. The modern era. You can pretty much look at and say, OK, they were only a few generations of watching these games change, and they will continue to change. You know what the NFL and NBA looked like, You know, over the next 50 and 60 years. Man. It's not gonna look like what the hell it it. It was in the seventies or the eighties and we see that change. We see that progression, but when it comes down to the athletes participating Having more of a say so. That has changed. Free agency here for the NFL. Not something that was an act that until 1993. Okay, That's not all that long ago. For some, yes, but ultimately, 1993 is not a long time ago. You can pretty much say. That might be two or three generations of players in the case of someone like a Tom Brady That was yesterday. Okay. And so you do have more players who have influence the salaries have gone up because the revenue that is generated by these leagues. Has gone up the money continues. T just go sky high. And so we see the Shawn Watson who just signed a deal, You know. Four years, almost $160 million. He's saying, Hey, I saw on his deal, but y'all stink. You're suck. Ula mistreating me. Y'all are doing things the right way. And then you have some folks who say Well, you signed up for the deal. You shook the hand. You go ahead and take it. Yesterday we heard from Russell Wilson. Who is pretty mild mannered at all times. Russell Wilson was on the Dan Patrick show, and he was asked about his input and personnel decisions, especially the fact that over the last nine years or just in general for anyone playing nine years, the first years of their career he's been hit more than anybody. Listen to Russell Wilson say, you know, I'd like to have a little bit more say so on what goes on. For me personally, You know, I think that I want to be out of be involved because of the day it's your legacy. It's your teams like a C. It's the guys, you get to go into the huddle with and and in the day that those guys you gotta trust one. The reason why time went toe Tampa was because he felt like he could trust those guys and bruising and given the opportunity, I think for me anytime you bring free agents, and you know, are the players you want The best players, guys you love the game console. You kind of build that over time and get to see who could really play. You know, as a player, you really know. So I think that relationships really key, and especially being a veteran player, you know that dialogue is really important. Are you involved in personnel decisions? Not not as much. I don't. Do you want to be involved? Rust? Yeah, I think it helps. I think it helps it to be involved more, but I think that's that dialogue should should happen more often in my thinking. Sure. What he said. To be honest, is nothing unusual. Superstar players have had influence over the roster for ever. Whether you hear about it publicly or not, whether you get a nudge or or question for the most part, if you are a star player if you have the largest commitment of via the franchise or to the franchise, the franchise to you. Then you're gonna.

It's my patient for what can I do for you? We just adopted a puppy on here to congratulate you. Thank you so much, and we need to introduce him to my dog needs. It was a nine year old Rottweiler mix who was not dog friendly. And that would need some advice on that. Yeah, So here's what we need to do. First of all when you say the dog did the Rod is not dark, friendly. What do you mean? I mean, when you walk him as the attacker bit arms, what's the scenario? Oh, she does one. She? I don't think she's ever actually gotten to another dog. But she does long. She's very hard work. They do not Walk her whole lot just because she is such a handful. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you. This is so important. Okay, I know the Rottweilers, not yours, and you get your niece. But have they trained the doc? Listen, I worked with the rock. Why was in the town of rot while in Germany When I was stationed over there. It's an amazing breed of dog. But people automatically were afraid of the dog ever since that movie came out, So here's my my feeling. Number one. If the dog is not trained properly, people are going to back away and when the dog reacts to them, and they back away that just encourages the dog to react more in the same way he's reacting. So, for example, If they're out with the dog, my dark season of the dark and showing aggressiveness towards that other dog. What's going to happen is if that aggressive it is not controlled or stealing a different direction, and they start yelling or screaming at the dark. They're actually making the dog more aggressive. So right off the bat..

By our friends over gravy in of a variety of media figures, who essentially are blaming every conservative every person who voted for Trump every trump supporter for what happened in the capital riots. This is this is a huge problem. If you're looking to end political polarization, you have to assume that people on the other side aren't inherently bad. But unfortunately, the capital rights are being used. Not surprisingly, as a as a rationale for castigating everybody you disagree with as morally decrepit and morally defunct, has been going on my way. Long before Trump. I wrote a book called Bullies in 2013 all about how this was left argument going back, too, then, right? I mean, that was several years before Trump was even a glint in the public imagination so far as presidential politics was concerned. In any case here is here's a brief mash up of just some of the people on cable news have been making exactly this argument. Each of these people should be shamed and they're gonna go back. You know, to the olive garden and to their holiday in there they're staying at. I wonder if you have thought through kind of How Republicans begin. What? Someone on my team earlier today called Deep Bath indication. Look, I think the challenge is that the rod His from the grassroots. All the way to the presidency to the right is that every layer there are millions of Americans. Almost all white, almost all Republicans who somehow need to be de programmed, they needed its deep bath vacation right there, just like the members of Saddam Hussein's Bath party. That's the kind of language that joy Reid is using. And this kind of argument is extremely common in the press right now, Paul Krugman wrote entire piece about how this was the natural consequence of 30 years of Republican mouth seasons. We're from Thomas Friedman that he's happy that Trump is critical breaking apart the Republican Party because it deserves to happen. Plus, hey, you know we might be able to get our democratic agenda through if the party fragments Right. So when Republicans and conservatives look at the impeachment charge As always, and this has become a when Trump was elected. I said, All Democrats had to do was not be crazy. That's all they had to do. And then they proceeded to be absolutely crazy. Right. Then they proceeded. Too, By the way, This is not exculpatory for people in Trump's camp, who have also gone crazy there. Many people in Trump's camp Not like a few, but not everybody. There are many people in Trump's camp who believe things that are simply not true. Okay, but he left has also gone insane to the extent there pushing Russian collusion hoax nonsense for four years. To the extent that they were green lighting rioting during the summer and pretending that this was some sort of racial reckoning moment for the United States was a broad, almost universally accepted tautology for nearly everybody. Unless and to the extent that now they're trying to label everybody A fellow traveler with rioters in order to excise them from the public debate. This is it Z bad and ugly. And so what It means is that when people look at any single question, they're not being asked to answer the single question. I've been saying this for a while. There's a lot of pulling gate every time Trump would tweet something done or something bad. There'll be some snap polling be like many Republicans approve of what Trump said. And when I kept saying about these holes is that that is certainly a plausible way of reading the pool. Here is another possible way of reading the pole when people snap to a are asking a snap poll. What they think of what Trump did. What they hear is You are a bad person. If you support Trump in anyway, what do you think of you right began and the reason they've done that is because the media have so it's a reaction to remove and people shouldn't do that. But that is how people react. And the fact is that when you lump everybody on the right in with every bad thing Trump does, and then you say This is what you like Most. What you like Most about him is all the bad stuff that he does people on the right girl. You know what? Middle finger right? That Z Trump is a giant pulsating middle finger. He continues to be that and so long as the left. Lumps. Everybody together. This is going to continue. Okay again. It's preceded Trump because they did this long before Trump. They've been demonizing Republicans as racist, sexist bigot homophobe, literally as long as I've been in politics, which has since I was 17 years old. And I'm sure before then Okay, We're gonna get some more of this in just one second. Because this has again real ramifications for your life. It is. The underlying polarization is tearing away at America, and it was proved in extraordinary colors. By our friends, the staff over at political. We're gonna get to that in just one moment. That was the second reason that I trended this week. The first reason I tried to this week, by the way, in case you're wondering, I hit the coveted birthday three Pete Today I tried it three times in three days, which I've never heard of that before. That's pretty. That's pretty fun. I trended earlier this week because some reporter from The New York Times Was was tweeting about zip ties. It was like, Does anybody even own zip ties? Not zip cuffs, not handcuffs, right? Not not restraint. Zip ties, like who even owns it Ties it was like like everybody owns up ties. And so the entire media took this to mean that I was making excuses for people running through the Capitol building with deep ties, trying to Hamstring Congress. People don't take them hot, which is like If you listen to five seconds of the show, Have you read anything I have ever written? So that was reason number one reason. Number two's political. We're gonna get to that in.
