    weeks in crypto we've had in a long long
  • 00:02:16
    time how's everyone feeling about the
  • 00:02:18
    market are we I titled before we went
  • 00:02:19
    live is the banana Zone finally here is
  • 00:02:21
    it finally in the room with us right now
  • 00:02:24
    well I had to go to Zambia to find the
  • 00:02:26
    source of the banana Zone deep in the
  • 00:02:29
    heart of the Lang angua River and I
  • 00:02:31
    spoke to the baboon tribes and they
  • 00:02:33
    assured me that the banana zone is
  • 00:02:36
    coming and maybe maybe it's in the room
  • 00:02:39
    with us
  • 00:02:42
    now that's uh that's good to hear I've
  • 00:02:44
    seen some incredible animations who was
  • 00:02:46
    that there was a meme coin in animation
  • 00:02:48
    Carlson one yeah I I really laughed at
  • 00:02:50
    that one but it's good to see that
  • 00:02:51
    you've gone to the source the source of
  • 00:02:53
    the problem to see where the bananas
  • 00:02:54
    actually come from yeah it was fine the
  • 00:02:56
    river the river was a bit dry so I can
  • 00:02:58
    understand the slowness of the bananas
  • 00:03:00
    to ripen but they are coming and they're
  • 00:03:02
    being sent down the river and they will
  • 00:03:05
    be here well it it feels like some came
  • 00:03:08
    this week we've been saying you see the
  • 00:03:10
    amount of work that I do in in crypto
  • 00:03:13
    for people I mean this is I risk life
  • 00:03:15
    and lmb for everybody to bring the
  • 00:03:17
    bananas back yeah exactly It's Kind of
  • 00:03:21
    Perfect he did do that Safari isn't it
  • 00:03:23
    at the same time um but good to see you
  • 00:03:26
    brought them it it like I said we've
  • 00:03:27
    been doing this week in week out we've
  • 00:03:28
    been telling everyone you know this is
  • 00:03:30
    the time this is the time start loading
  • 00:03:32
    up in September you've been nowhere to
  • 00:03:34
    be found uh trying to find the original
  • 00:03:36
    sources of bananas then you've turned up
  • 00:03:38
    uh and we're all we're all looking good
  • 00:03:39
    we had a big week this week when it
  • 00:03:41
    comes to macro obviously we had the FED
  • 00:03:43
    which seems to have kicked things off
  • 00:03:45
    then we had Japan even today had the
  • 00:03:47
    bank of England it was a big big week
  • 00:03:50
    but it does feel like we have some more
  • 00:03:51
    clarity now I think that's what everyone
  • 00:03:52
    was kind of hoping for people thought
  • 00:03:54
    that we would rally if we had a a little
  • 00:03:56
    bit more clarity obviously a lot of the
  • 00:03:57
    technical selling is kind of in the rear
  • 00:03:59
    view mirror now now you got FTX coming
  • 00:04:01
    in Q4 and it does feel as though that
  • 00:04:05
    was a pretty dubish fed and we're now in
  • 00:04:08
    for probably what two years you think of
  • 00:04:10
    of rate Cuts I don't know if we're going
  • 00:04:12
    to go straight to QE apart from in China
  • 00:04:14
    but it does feel like we have now kicked
  • 00:04:16
    off the global easing cycle once
  • 00:04:20
    again we um it was just a couple of
  • 00:04:23
    weeks ago actually or maybe three weeks
  • 00:04:25
    ago the last two shows I was on when we
  • 00:04:28
    were saying if you're going to take a
  • 00:04:29
    shot at the market Market it was then it
  • 00:04:31
    was the best time to do it like the
  • 00:04:34
    timeline was in you know maximum fear
  • 00:04:36
    mode Bitcoin barely holding on to 54 55k
  • 00:04:40
    and we'd had a very choppy summer very a
  • 00:04:42
    liquid summer ahead of the rate cuts
  • 00:04:46
    that we had this week that I think was
  • 00:04:48
    on the table whether it 2550 was was the
  • 00:04:51
    um point in question ahead of Elections
  • 00:04:55
    ahead of the fact that the base rate was
  • 00:04:57
    525 to 550 basis points so there's a ton
  • 00:04:59
    of room the FED had to cut so I think we
  • 00:05:01
    said it a couple of weeks ago two or
  • 00:05:03
    three weeks ago that like whether you're
  • 00:05:05
    bullish or not if you're going to have a
  • 00:05:06
    gamble if you're going to take a shot at
  • 00:05:08
    the market that was literally the point
  • 00:05:10
    to do it and those who did I think have
  • 00:05:12
    have fed pretty well because Bitcoin is
  • 00:05:14
    up about whatever it is like 13 14%
  • 00:05:17
    since then and obviously as you
  • 00:05:18
    mentioned many alts and me points up 50%
  • 00:05:22
    or more the question that we're now
  • 00:05:24
    trying to figure out is is this
  • 00:05:27
    something that can be sustained uh um or
  • 00:05:30
    is it just another flash in the pan and
  • 00:05:32
    we'll be disappointed but I think the
  • 00:05:34
    main thing to realize here compared to
  • 00:05:36
    previous fake outs if you like is as you
  • 00:05:38
    said Michael we are at the start of an
  • 00:05:41
    easing cycle and we haven't seen the fed
  • 00:05:44
    this dubish for whatever it is three
  • 00:05:46
    years or something like that um probably
  • 00:05:48
    even longer than that and you have to
  • 00:05:51
    understand that it's a paradigm shift
  • 00:05:53
    and we're about to enter a whole new I
  • 00:05:55
    think um Paradigm of
  • 00:05:59
    policy and easing rates and Global
  • 00:06:01
    liquidity and I think that's the start
  • 00:06:03
    of that in my opinion yeah I'm going to
  • 00:06:06
    try and share some charts so um Nick
  • 00:06:08
    just to warn you and about to share a
  • 00:06:10
    couple of charts that's based on this is
  • 00:06:13
    like from everything I look at this is
  • 00:06:17
    this really is the zone so see if I can
  • 00:06:21
    share
  • 00:06:22
    this one
  • 00:06:26
    sec I mean this is a killer I it's an
  • 00:06:30
    absolute beautiful chart it's the GMI
  • 00:06:32
    Global weekly liquidity so that's both
  • 00:06:35
    private sector liquidity and public
  • 00:06:36
    sector liquidity from the large Global
  • 00:06:39
    economies I mean it's just perfect it
  • 00:06:41
    leads by 10 weeks M2 does pretty much a
  • 00:06:44
    pretty similar job as well so you've got
  • 00:06:47
    that you've got Bitcoin seasonality is
  • 00:06:50
    always strong from this point onwards
  • 00:06:52
    I'm going to share another chart as well
  • 00:06:54
    um let's have a look at this
  • 00:06:56
    one and Bitcoin is also repeating
  • 00:07:00
    what it did last
  • 00:07:02
    year I mean literally
  • 00:07:06
    perfectly you know so we've got the
  • 00:07:09
    macro overlay the FED are going to keep
  • 00:07:11
    cutting over time the other central
  • 00:07:12
    banks are going to be involved we've got
  • 00:07:14
    the seasonality in place we got the
  • 00:07:16
    global liquidity cycle in place I don't
  • 00:07:19
    know what else is left you know it's
  • 00:07:21
    kind of like it has to be now even the
  • 00:07:24
    chart patterns you know usually you get
  • 00:07:25
    three Touches at the top three Touches
  • 00:07:27
    at the bottom of a range that usually
  • 00:07:30
    works
  • 00:07:31
    so I think all of the elements are in
  • 00:07:34
    play yeah look I I think I've been
  • 00:07:37
    pretty public that even on this show
  • 00:07:38
    I've been doing a DCA kind of for the
  • 00:07:40
    last um few weeks or so I think OSF may
  • 00:07:43
    have just Frozen anyway but I've been
  • 00:07:45
    doing a DCA for a little bit of time and
  • 00:07:49
    I still think we probably have a little
  • 00:07:51
    bit of a volatility to go with the
  • 00:07:53
    election that's the final thing I think
  • 00:07:56
    right um and I do think that if if Trump
  • 00:08:00
    is to win that I do think we we could
  • 00:08:02
    see a very very aggressive um rally on
  • 00:08:05
    the back of that towards the end of this
  • 00:08:07
    year because all the other things are in
  • 00:08:09
    play too and the fundamentals have been
  • 00:08:11
    strong for a while and you know that
  • 00:08:13
    because Gold's hitting alltime highs
  • 00:08:15
    every single day right it's just H it
  • 00:08:17
    keeps on hitting highs and you've seen
  • 00:08:18
    that Divergence between gold and Bitcoin
  • 00:08:20
    which has been this perfect opportunity
  • 00:08:22
    to pick up Bitcoin in that
  • 00:08:24
    period um one of the I think it
  • 00:08:26
    negatively correlated for a little bit
  • 00:08:28
    of time and that's really just been
  • 00:08:29
    because technical selling but now Q4
  • 00:08:31
    feels like it's going to be quite a lot
  • 00:08:32
    of technical buying like already this
  • 00:08:34
    week we saw Michael sailor come out and
  • 00:08:38
    upsized a 700 million convertible note
  • 00:08:41
    which he was offering to 1 billion I
  • 00:08:44
    think that means he still has around 1.5
  • 00:08:46
    billion of Bitcoin to buy right now and
  • 00:08:49
    you know he's going to keep on buying
  • 00:08:51
    you've had Black Rock coming out this
  • 00:08:54
    week and saying that they're going to be
  • 00:08:56
    telling their investors that Bitcoin is
  • 00:09:00
    the best Hedge for the uh US debt crisis
  • 00:09:03
    that that's currently happening which
  • 00:09:05
    kind of points to even more
  • 00:09:06
    institutional demand coming on you've
  • 00:09:08
    seen a bunch of different countries
  • 00:09:11
    Qatar Bhutan even came out with a huge
  • 00:09:13
    Bitcoin holding this this um this week
  • 00:09:16
    it feels as though we got a lot of
  • 00:09:17
    different sovereigns coming into it and
  • 00:09:20
    then you have FTX which is 16 billion
  • 00:09:22
    odd coming back into the market as well
  • 00:09:24
    in ke4 so I think the technicals and the
  • 00:09:26
    fundamentals lineup I still think we
  • 00:09:29
    have a little bit of volatility left
  • 00:09:30
    thee of the election but I think that
  • 00:09:32
    window is is really starting to narrow
  • 00:09:34
    and you're going to be buying on the way
  • 00:09:35
    up here rather than catching a yeah and
  • 00:09:37
    that volatility probably happens close
  • 00:09:39
    to the top of the trend you know that
  • 00:09:40
    before the breakout you're kind of
  • 00:09:42
    waiting around that 70,000 Bitcoin level
  • 00:09:45
    70 to 75,000 and it chops around
  • 00:09:48
    frustratingly there before I think
  • 00:09:50
    either way whatever the outcome of the
  • 00:09:52
    election it goes up afterwards anyway
  • 00:09:54
    we've seen that in the past but we saw
  • 00:09:56
    the last time Trump was in obviously
  • 00:09:58
    because Trump is very
  • 00:10:00
    tax light very stimulative um and he's
  • 00:10:04
    very Pro crypto so regulatory stuff both
  • 00:10:08
    for Tech and for for crypto that you
  • 00:10:11
    feel like that could be an extra juice
  • 00:10:13
    if that were to happen and 2016 17 was
  • 00:10:15
    the lasty Trump cycle we didn't have the
  • 00:10:18
    FED actually easing liquidity massively
  • 00:10:20
    they were just starting to raise rates
  • 00:10:22
    and they stopped for
  • 00:10:25
    201617 and it was the Chinese who were
  • 00:10:28
    creating the liquidity
  • 00:10:29
    and the market went you know bananas
  • 00:10:31
    tastic in
  • 00:10:35
    2017 yeah I think I think even with the
  • 00:10:39
    politics I guess is less important you
  • 00:10:41
    just never really know but it does feel
  • 00:10:43
    as though for me it's more just the
  • 00:10:44
    clarity actually think we'll rally even
  • 00:10:46
    if um CA gets in right like I just think
  • 00:10:49
    that markets rally When there's less um
  • 00:10:52
    uncertainty and I think Trump probably
  • 00:10:55
    points to a more
  • 00:10:56
    aggressive crypto policy you know you
  • 00:10:59
    probably get potential for crypto
  • 00:11:01
    regulation even coming in people will
  • 00:11:03
    start talking again about things like a
  • 00:11:05
    salana ETF I do think you'll start to
  • 00:11:06
    see that sort of stuff happening maybe
  • 00:11:07
    it's stronger for alts for example but I
  • 00:11:10
    think the market rallies in all
  • 00:11:11
    scenarios there like the underlying
  • 00:11:13
    fundamentals are are strong and I think
  • 00:11:15
    it's been a it's been a a very very good
  • 00:11:17
    period we maybe go into that a little
  • 00:11:20
    bit because that was one of the the top
  • 00:11:23
    topics again at token 2049 I think KL
  • 00:11:26
    San s of M coin capital Did did a speech
  • 00:11:30
    on is salana the eth killer that's
  • 00:11:34
    finally uh that's finally come there was
  • 00:11:35
    a lot of talk about whether E's dead or
  • 00:11:37
    not a lot of talk about the L1 L2 trade
  • 00:11:39
    did you catch any of that OSF like what
  • 00:11:41
    was the top topics that were really
  • 00:11:43
    coming up in
  • 00:11:44
    Singapore yeah I don't think
  • 00:11:47
    um I think the eth versus salana thing
  • 00:11:50
    it feels like that's sort of come to a
  • 00:11:52
    conclusion at this point given how much
  • 00:11:55
    Soul e has moved in the last let's say
  • 00:11:57
    12 months so I don't think think it was
  • 00:11:59
    a really topic conversation of like is
  • 00:12:00
    it going to be eth is it going to be
  • 00:12:02
    salana
  • 00:12:03
    um the atmosphere is more really on a
  • 00:12:06
    macro level I think which was like is
  • 00:12:09
    this it or is this just going to be
  • 00:12:11
    another fake out I think that the main
  • 00:12:12
    focus I think something people are
  • 00:12:14
    really trying to figure out is
  • 00:12:16
    like I was actually surprised by like
  • 00:12:19
    the general acceptance that salana may
  • 00:12:22
    not be it for the next 12 months and
  • 00:12:24
    people looking at alternative l1s like
  • 00:12:27
    suie for example was something that came
  • 00:12:29
    up a lot um what is that I I noticed
  • 00:12:32
    that bit of negativity not negativity
  • 00:12:34
    but less enthusi enthusiasm about salana
  • 00:12:38
    where's that coming from because there's
  • 00:12:39
    nothing in the ecosystem that suggests
  • 00:12:41
    anything's changed
  • 00:12:43
    anecdotally and this is purely anecdotal
  • 00:12:46
    this is so you have to um remember that
  • 00:12:49
    I think it's coming from the whole like
  • 00:12:50
    pump. fun meme coin thing where you had
  • 00:12:54
    you know people have this belief that
  • 00:12:56
    that's what's Driven the whole salana
  • 00:12:57
    rally at least for the the first half of
  • 00:12:59
    this year and because that game has
  • 00:13:01
    changed from being very PVE to PVP I
  • 00:13:03
    think people have probably just like
  • 00:13:05
    lost a lot of money and I think it
  • 00:13:06
    become
  • 00:13:07
    less focused on salana with the belief
  • 00:13:10
    that most of the onchain volumes of K as
  • 00:13:13
    a result of this like mem coin boom and
  • 00:13:15
    I think people are very focused on monad
  • 00:13:18
    and bar chain that are both coming next
  • 00:13:20
    year as well so there really seems and I
  • 00:13:22
    just thought this was a belief that I
  • 00:13:24
    had like I've kind of become more less
  • 00:13:26
    bullish on Salan I think over the LA
  • 00:13:28
    over the next over the last few months
  • 00:13:31
    here's a question for you
  • 00:13:33
    um monad and bar chain they're going to
  • 00:13:36
    come out in what is potentially the
  • 00:13:39
    final stage of a bull market what why
  • 00:13:41
    the hell would retail buy it is it not
  • 00:13:44
    just the people who got in at seed um
  • 00:13:46
    and are going to flip it out I I just
  • 00:13:48
    don't see why a retail investor would
  • 00:13:51
    buy something that launches in March
  • 00:13:53
    when potentially the whole bloody Market
  • 00:13:55
    finishes by late autumn
  • 00:13:59
    that's uh that's what retail guys do
  • 00:14:01
    that's what what they did with salana
  • 00:14:04
    last cycle yeah but salana was still
  • 00:14:06
    2021 I'm sorry 2020 it was April 2020
  • 00:14:10
    that's true April 2020 it was more like
  • 00:14:12
    sewer years yeah for me I I just think
  • 00:14:16
    the L1 trades become a little bit more
  • 00:14:19
    competitive and I think 12 months ago
  • 00:14:21
    salana was a very super obvious
  • 00:14:25
    trade uh and I think I just think over
  • 00:14:27
    the last few months because
  • 00:14:30
    the big change for me really is that is
  • 00:14:32
    that pump. fun thing I think there's a
  • 00:14:33
    big thing where the actual coin itself
  • 00:14:35
    when salana itself is the asset that you
  • 00:14:38
    use to buy something you know it was
  • 00:14:40
    being used to buy meme coins just like
  • 00:14:43
    in 2021 you were using e to buy nfts you
  • 00:14:47
    know when it becomes the actual form of
  • 00:14:49
    exchange that can really change the
  • 00:14:52
    trajectory of a coin in any point of the
  • 00:14:54
    cycle and when I think over the last two
  • 00:14:56
    three months salana hasn't really done
  • 00:14:58
    bad L but it's moved more towards the
  • 00:15:01
    payments infrastructure the deepin stuff
  • 00:15:05
    number of users has stayed high but def5
  • 00:15:07
    volumes have gone down and although I
  • 00:15:10
    think those things are more sustainable
  • 00:15:13
    I actually think there's been less talk
  • 00:15:15
    about like oh people are spending salana
  • 00:15:17
    on this thing you know they're buying
  • 00:15:19
    something with it and I think that
  • 00:15:21
    sometimes can slow down um uh yeah the
  • 00:15:24
    growth that that begs the
  • 00:15:27
    question do you guys think the me
  • 00:15:29
    cycle is over or was this just the first
  • 00:15:32
    pump I mean and draw parallels to the
  • 00:15:35
    nft cycle when it first started what are
  • 00:15:38
    your thought I mean I I I think we got
  • 00:15:40
    another whole run to go but maybe more
  • 00:15:42
    narrow less
  • 00:15:44
    broad I think it's I think it's the
  • 00:15:46
    beginning of the end of of the meme pump
  • 00:15:47
    to be honest with you like it feels like
  • 00:15:50
    to me what nfts felt like in 2022 which
  • 00:15:53
    was you're no longer early to this great
  • 00:15:56
    big Casino the super normal profit has
  • 00:15:58
    disa appeared the market participants
  • 00:16:01
    have become much more sophisticated so
  • 00:16:04
    you know there are Bots there are all
  • 00:16:05
    these different tools that people are
  • 00:16:06
    using to to have an edge and the main
  • 00:16:09
    thing is like when you have something
  • 00:16:10
    like this the easy money if you're if
  • 00:16:13
    you have no morals and no ethics the
  • 00:16:14
    easy money is just to come in create
  • 00:16:17
    your own meme coin have Insider Supply
  • 00:16:18
    pump and dump and move on to the next
  • 00:16:19
    one and that's what happened with nfts
  • 00:16:21
    like at the beginning there were just a
  • 00:16:22
    handful of NT projects and they all did
  • 00:16:24
    well and then in the middle of 2022 um
  • 00:16:29
    there was like a new project every other
  • 00:16:30
    day which was really been created by the
  • 00:16:32
    same people and they would launch it
  • 00:16:34
    monetize it move on to the next one do
  • 00:16:35
    the same thing and that's what's very
  • 00:16:37
    clearly been happening on on Soul memes
  • 00:16:39
    at the moment so I just think that
  • 00:16:42
    freshness of it has has disappeared um
  • 00:16:45
    and it's going to be very hard for it to
  • 00:16:46
    return Because unless you get a huge
  • 00:16:48
    influx of users which I personally don't
  • 00:16:50
    think we're going to get you just have
  • 00:16:52
    way too many way too much potential
  • 00:16:55
    attention versus the number of people
  • 00:16:56
    that exist and all of that is split and
  • 00:16:59
    bated and the only one thing I'd add
  • 00:17:01
    with regard to salana just that we're
  • 00:17:03
    talking about is I think it's important
  • 00:17:04
    to look at the price it's not it's
  • 00:17:06
    important to not just look at the price
  • 00:17:08
    but look at the market cap and and the
  • 00:17:11
    circulating market cap and salana is
  • 00:17:13
    close to all-time highs than circulating
  • 00:17:14
    market cap I think right now it's 69
  • 00:17:16
    billion I think the highs it got to this
  • 00:17:18
    year was um something like 80 billion
  • 00:17:21
    and the highs it got to last uh in 2021
  • 00:17:24
    was 75 billion so remember like a lot of
  • 00:17:27
    salana is like vesting and being
  • 00:17:28
    unlocked so it's actually hit alltime
  • 00:17:31
    highs in terms of circulating market cap
  • 00:17:34
    this year and there's a ton more to be
  • 00:17:36
    unlocked at the beginning of next year
  • 00:17:38
    too so it's important to just understand
  • 00:17:40
    I think to not look at just the the
  • 00:17:42
    price because everyone is maybe married
  • 00:17:43
    to like the 270 prints or whatever it
  • 00:17:45
    was last year but also the circulating
  • 00:17:47
    market cap which I think is very
  • 00:17:49
    important yeah I'm not a short-term
  • 00:17:52
    Trader necessarily but like I would look
  • 00:17:54
    at stuff in terms of months and I do
  • 00:17:55
    think that we probably just because of
  • 00:17:57
    how strong the mean cycle was I don't
  • 00:18:00
    know if people are rushing back like new
  • 00:18:02
    wallets are rushing back from now until
  • 00:18:05
    year end let's say um I think it
  • 00:18:07
    probably takes a little bit of time to
  • 00:18:08
    settle but I do think having been here
  • 00:18:11
    now for however many years the
  • 00:18:13
    tokenization of of Internet culture is
  • 00:18:15
    going to be one of the main use cases of
  • 00:18:17
    blockchain it just feels like that's an
  • 00:18:18
    up only thing for blockchain the idea
  • 00:18:20
    you can instantly turn internet culture
  • 00:18:22
    or Internet communities into something
  • 00:18:25
    on chain I think that's that's always
  • 00:18:27
    going to be there but I do think
  • 00:18:29
    probably have a little bit of time of
  • 00:18:31
    just that settling down a little bit I
  • 00:18:32
    don't think I don't think P I think
  • 00:18:33
    pump. funds daily revenu is probably hit
  • 00:18:35
    an all-time high for for at least the
  • 00:18:37
    next few months yeah I do think some of
  • 00:18:39
    the memes will continue because as
  • 00:18:41
    people come to the market memes tend to
  • 00:18:42
    do well but I think you're right that
  • 00:18:44
    the whole pump. fund thing has probably
  • 00:18:46
    died down a lot and I think you're dead
  • 00:18:48
    right that culture nfts were culture
  • 00:18:52
    this is culture they're all going to
  • 00:18:53
    morph into something that we yet haven't
  • 00:18:55
    seen and that's probably next next cycle
  • 00:18:58
    this is all kind of experimentation
  • 00:18:59
    stuff um and yeah I think it's still
  • 00:19:02
    going to be one of the largest parts of
  • 00:19:04
    this entire thing but over time yeah
  • 00:19:07
    yeah so I think you can paint a pretty
  • 00:19:09
    good picture of it I actually bought eth
  • 00:19:11
    the most eth I've ever bought this week
  • 00:19:13
    I just kind of felt like there was so
  • 00:19:15
    much it was so well not ever bought but
  • 00:19:17
    for for for many many months uh that I
  • 00:19:20
    bought I just kind of feel as though it
  • 00:19:24
    kind of got the narrative's been beaten
  • 00:19:26
    down everyone kind of knows the L1
  • 00:19:28
    versus L to um hicc up you saw Benjamin
  • 00:19:31
    kowan come out this today and say oh I
  • 00:19:34
    think we're actually close to the bottom
  • 00:19:35
    of e BTC um it could have a little bit
  • 00:19:38
    of a
  • 00:19:39
    rally I see a lot of the other chain
  • 00:19:41
    still doing well and E just hasn't
  • 00:19:43
    really been able to rally and and I
  • 00:19:45
    don't know I just kind of felt as though
  • 00:19:46
    it looked mispriced versus the amount of
  • 00:19:49
    stuff still going on there but I've got
  • 00:19:53
    gotum CH what do you think about those
  • 00:19:55
    three at the moment let me give you a
  • 00:19:57
    hopium chart let me I just need to
  • 00:19:58
    sharer you need an eth CH it's an
  • 00:20:01
    ethopian
  • 00:20:05
    chart it it does feel like to me that's
  • 00:20:09
    eth versus eth last year I can't find a
  • 00:20:12
    closer m fit I can't that's crazy the
  • 00:20:16
    other thing about the eth Bitcoin cross
  • 00:20:18
    is it's driven by um it's actually
  • 00:20:20
    driven by the ism and the business cycle
  • 00:20:24
    um so you're kind of all in that point
  • 00:20:26
    on a weekly uh for those like technicals
  • 00:20:29
    on a weekly Demar count eth just put in
  • 00:20:31
    a 13 low as well it feels that
  • 00:20:34
    everything is in place but that chart is
  • 00:20:36
    is quite remarkable now we know we know
  • 00:20:39
    that these charts fall apart just when
  • 00:20:40
    you want them the most to work so expect
  • 00:20:42
    it to not work but it's just interesting
  • 00:20:47
    contextually it is it does feel like
  • 00:20:49
    we're just an all-time low for eth
  • 00:20:53
    sentiment and part of me does still
  • 00:20:56
    believe that if we have just a general
  • 00:20:58
    risk valy it should perform with the
  • 00:21:01
    other major it should perform with soul
  • 00:21:02
    it should perform with BTC and you know
  • 00:21:04
    e BTC has dropped from like
  • 00:21:07
    0.059 pre ETF announcement to 0 what is
  • 00:21:11
    it 0.04 now it hits 0.038 It's a massive
  • 00:21:15
    massive move lower in um the E BTC ratio
  • 00:21:20
    like huge move lower for not
  • 00:21:22
    like for no real good reason other than
  • 00:21:24
    e Foundation has been selling it and
  • 00:21:26
    people are Maybe as active on on it as
  • 00:21:29
    the casino as they are on salana and
  • 00:21:31
    other things but um it does feel like
  • 00:21:34
    it's the lows for sentiment but I don't
  • 00:21:35
    know I don't know Michael if it's like a
  • 00:21:37
    longer term thing that is ready to
  • 00:21:38
    correct because I still do feel
  • 00:21:41
    like we should just spoke about how
  • 00:21:42
    attention is so divided across all meme
  • 00:21:44
    coins I think intention is so divided
  • 00:21:46
    across the ethereum ecosystem because
  • 00:21:47
    you have so many different l2s you have
  • 00:21:50
    some meme coins onne it's just like it
  • 00:21:53
    feels like if anyone wants to chase it
  • 00:21:54
    an e like okay cool I'm going to go go
  • 00:21:56
    out there and buy arbitrum or optimism
  • 00:21:58
    or blast or something else and
  • 00:22:02
    um I don't know it doesn't feel like the
  • 00:22:05
    the dgen money which is I think a large
  • 00:22:08
    pool of capital wants to sit on eth and
  • 00:22:11
    I wonder if they will ever want to sit
  • 00:22:13
    on eth given the way the direction in
  • 00:22:15
    which eth is going which is let's have a
  • 00:22:17
    ton of l2s which all have their own
  • 00:22:19
    tokens Bitcoin doesn't have that Soul
  • 00:22:21
    doesn't have
  • 00:22:22
    that yeah look I I completely agree with
  • 00:22:25
    that I'm not sitting here as somebody
  • 00:22:26
    who has been Ane bull for a while now
  • 00:22:29
    like all I'm saying about here is from
  • 00:22:31
    Ral perspective to a large extent like I
  • 00:22:35
    think e b Bitcoin has been smashed all
  • 00:22:39
    cycle salana is heading back up towards
  • 00:22:42
    100 billion FTV you have things like
  • 00:22:45
    suie up to about 15 billion ton all
  • 00:22:48
    these other chains are rallying I just
  • 00:22:50
    feel as though e got beaten up and I've
  • 00:22:52
    said before I did like coinbase like as
  • 00:22:55
    the alternative to buying eat because a
  • 00:22:57
    lot of Base Revenue I think is going to
  • 00:22:59
    is going to be supported in in coinbase
  • 00:23:02
    but it just felt like eth was easy for
  • 00:23:03
    me to buy today so I don't know I'm
  • 00:23:06
    buying it I appre all those narratives I
  • 00:23:09
    just feel as though it's also got quite
  • 00:23:11
    a lot going for it mean I've been buying
  • 00:23:13
    it just because I've been buying x copy
  • 00:23:17
    and be stuff mainly x copy you know
  • 00:23:20
    really my entire um eth portfolio is
  • 00:23:23
    just um nft digital art that's it I'm
  • 00:23:28
    comfortable that but we should chat
  • 00:23:30
    about that actually because the x copy
  • 00:23:31
    stuff has been taking off I saw uh an
  • 00:23:34
    addition of one and six sell for 300 eth
  • 00:23:39
    yesterday and I think there was an
  • 00:23:40
    addition of one in 10 that sold for
  • 00:23:43
    around 200 e 250 these are not even one
  • 00:23:46
    of ones these are additions small
  • 00:23:48
    editions which are going
  • 00:23:49
    for very very large amounts um what do
  • 00:23:53
    you guys make of that is that is that
  • 00:23:56
    just going to be a solely an x copy
  • 00:23:58
    thing or is that a sign and you know
  • 00:23:59
    we've had some large Punk sales recently
  • 00:24:01
    as well is that a sign to
  • 00:24:03
    say eth nfts maybe have a chance of
  • 00:24:06
    having you
  • 00:24:07
    know I've got a very strong thesis on
  • 00:24:09
    this that as the market cap of crypto
  • 00:24:14
    goes up over time from two trillion to
  • 00:24:16
    where I think it's going which is 100
  • 00:24:18
    trillion you're going to generate more
  • 00:24:19
    wealth than any other trade in all human
  • 00:24:22
    history in the shortest period of time
  • 00:24:23
    and that gets recycled into art and you
  • 00:24:27
    know I started buying copy really in
  • 00:24:30
    January and I've been buying all year
  • 00:24:33
    that triggered a whole bunch of people
  • 00:24:35
    and I've shared the thesis a lot with
  • 00:24:37
    people that you know the really
  • 00:24:39
    culturally relevant things will will be
  • 00:24:41
    highly sought after first but I think it
  • 00:24:43
    will broaden out again you know art
  • 00:24:45
    doesn't go away um and so we've
  • 00:24:49
    seen punks x copy and you know there's
  • 00:24:54
    very little be for sale at all so those
  • 00:24:57
    are there
  • 00:24:59
    yes fenzza have come down in price and
  • 00:25:01
    yes some of the others have come down in
  • 00:25:03
    price um but I think we will see a
  • 00:25:05
    rotation it's kind of like if you think
  • 00:25:07
    of x copy and beeple and punks as
  • 00:25:10
    Bitcoin you get Bitcoin dominance first
  • 00:25:13
    and as the market broadens out it moves
  • 00:25:15
    to the other uh layer ones layer twos
  • 00:25:17
    and other stuff and I think we'll see
  • 00:25:19
    the same here I think we'll we will see
  • 00:25:22
    a uh a big uptick in art as we start
  • 00:25:25
    going through all-time highs not only in
  • 00:25:27
    Bitcoin but in the other big one which
  • 00:25:29
    is salana because that's what people
  • 00:25:30
    have got a lot of you know I we surveyed
  • 00:25:33
    all of our hedge funds in exponential
  • 00:25:35
    age Asset Management in xam and the
  • 00:25:37
    biggest trade is
  • 00:25:38
    salana yeah I think what I would say is
  • 00:25:42
    what we saw in 2021 was a bunch of
  • 00:25:43
    different smaller and medium emerging
  • 00:25:45
    artists let's say come in and do drops
  • 00:25:48
    and and do really really well I think I
  • 00:25:50
    go back to what I said at the start
  • 00:25:51
    which was just that I think tokenizing
  • 00:25:54
    internet culture is going to be
  • 00:25:55
    something that stays with blockchain for
  • 00:25:58
    a long long time and probably stay
  • 00:25:59
    probably going to be the easiest way to
  • 00:26:00
    do it for decades hopefully and I do
  • 00:26:04
    think that people will continue to buy
  • 00:26:07
    artifacts of internet and blockchain
  • 00:26:09
    culture and x copy just is that what you
  • 00:26:12
    haven't seen is a massive massive pickup
  • 00:26:14
    in emerging artist um art sales what
  • 00:26:18
    you've seen is things like this which is
  • 00:26:21
    we have on screen right now which is
  • 00:26:24
    you're starting to see bigger collectors
  • 00:26:26
    of um this is this is air warning art
  • 00:26:28
    which is done by lock guer who is
  • 00:26:31
    involved in the sale of The Da Vinci
  • 00:26:32
    Salvador Mundy for 450 million he's
  • 00:26:34
    setting up a specific auction house for
  • 00:26:38
    digital art and they're gonna be
  • 00:26:39
    auctioning one two pieces a month
  • 00:26:42
    they're starting with an autog glyph I
  • 00:26:44
    think you're going to start to see this
  • 00:26:45
    you're G to see collectors come in and
  • 00:26:48
    buy um artifacts let's say of crypto
  • 00:26:51
    history maybe even internet internet
  • 00:26:54
    culture history so one of the things
  • 00:26:56
    that I've always said is that you know
  • 00:26:58
    Nostalgia has value right so we all look
  • 00:27:00
    back on the past and it's valuable to us
  • 00:27:03
    and you know x copy is is a moment in
  • 00:27:05
    time as is B and the great example of
  • 00:27:09
    that is particularly if you're English
  • 00:27:11
    you'll see the prices Oasis tickets are
  • 00:27:13
    going for right that is what they're
  • 00:27:16
    doing there is monetizing
  • 00:27:20
    Nostalgia um and you can make tremendous
  • 00:27:23
    amounts of money by doing that and
  • 00:27:25
    people will pay I mean I haven't bought
  • 00:27:27
    my tickets yet but I'm sure I'll
  • 00:27:28
    massively overpay for them because the
  • 00:27:31
    scarcity and that cultural moment means
  • 00:27:33
    a lot to a lot of people a real lot of
  • 00:27:37
    people and this is the same thing the
  • 00:27:39
    cultural moments of 2018 19 20 21 really
  • 00:27:44
    will stick in people's minds forever
  • 00:27:46
    people from this space um and so I think
  • 00:27:49
    it just gets more valuable over
  • 00:27:53
    time do you think the same collection
  • 00:27:57
    activity
  • 00:27:59
    of
  • 00:28:00
    nfts happens on salana or any other
  • 00:28:03
    chain does it stay on I think it stays
  • 00:28:06
    on eth
  • 00:28:09
    ordinals
  • 00:28:10
    possibly but for some
  • 00:28:14
    reason for some reason yes people are
  • 00:28:17
    experiment and other stuff but for some
  • 00:28:19
    reason eth seems to be that chain and
  • 00:28:22
    and it becomes very clunky I've got you
  • 00:28:25
    know nfts and salana and I can't see
  • 00:28:27
    them in in the same place and they're
  • 00:28:29
    not in my open SE and they're not in my
  • 00:28:31
    wallet so it's kind of like it's a bit
  • 00:28:33
    of a
  • 00:28:34
    pain um so I I do think it it tends to
  • 00:28:39
    stay within eth now the question is is I
  • 00:28:43
    actually also think NFS and mem coins
  • 00:28:45
    will merge at some point we saw that
  • 00:28:47
    with the kind of Frank deg God's doing
  • 00:28:50
    the opposite but I think
  • 00:28:53
    somewhere there's a rarity value of the
  • 00:28:57
    NF tea that massively enhances a mecoin
  • 00:29:00
    community in terms of whether it's
  • 00:29:03
    status you know I was talking to the
  • 00:29:04
    smoking chicken fish guys I'm like you
  • 00:29:06
    should give out you know Bishop hoods
  • 00:29:08
    and priesthoods and stuff like that as
  • 00:29:10
    nfts and you can buy your status
  • 00:29:12
    whatever it is right but somewhere these
  • 00:29:14
    are coming together people are thinking
  • 00:29:17
    them it's a or b I don't think it is
  • 00:29:19
    it's a plus b equals c which is the
  • 00:29:21
    moment the Manda was talking about which
  • 00:29:23
    is where culture becomes a very big
  • 00:29:26
    thing yeah I really
  • 00:29:28
    I definitely agree with that I
  • 00:29:30
    think pfp communities were some of the
  • 00:29:33
    strongest communities in 2021 and if
  • 00:29:35
    anything the hurdle for them really was
  • 00:29:38
    being able to join the club if the
  • 00:29:40
    cheapest nft was a few thousand dos it
  • 00:29:42
    was hard for someone to be part of that
  • 00:29:44
    Community um because you know fractal
  • 00:29:46
    nfts never really took off so if you
  • 00:29:48
    have a uh an nft collection which is
  • 00:29:52
    kind of like a has a meme based
  • 00:29:53
    community and you have a meme token that
  • 00:29:56
    goes along with it so is A+ B I think
  • 00:30:00
    that's a very powerful combination
  • 00:30:02
    because you can Flex by you know buying
  • 00:30:05
    the the gold one or the the rare one but
  • 00:30:08
    you can just enter the community with
  • 00:30:09
    with as little as$ one theoretically and
  • 00:30:12
    I I
  • 00:30:14
    think yugul will prove this point out I
  • 00:30:17
    know people have written it all off I
  • 00:30:19
    don't think you should write off B8 yach
  • 00:30:20
    club by the time they actually have a
  • 00:30:22
    clubhouse in Miami and it becomes a real
  • 00:30:25
    thing we will all use it when we go to
  • 00:30:28
    Miami it'll become like a so house thing
  • 00:30:30
    and I can see that idea spreading and I
  • 00:30:33
    can now see that they're working very
  • 00:30:35
    hard on making use cases out of um 8coin
  • 00:30:38
    and eight chain and let's see because
  • 00:30:42
    that they were the people who had the
  • 00:30:43
    big idea is these things are all
  • 00:30:46
    together combined um and I still think
  • 00:30:48
    it's yet to play out but I think it's
  • 00:30:49
    interesting I mean I just saw that dooky
  • 00:30:51
    Dash is like number three on all free
  • 00:30:53
    downloads of games number three on apps
  • 00:30:55
    I I think so we've we've been speaking
  • 00:30:58
    about this now for what 10 minutes we've
  • 00:30:59
    all agreed that that it feels as though
  • 00:31:01
    it's more internet culture blockchain
  • 00:31:03
    culture that's going to be valuable if
  • 00:31:05
    somebody was listening to this and
  • 00:31:06
    saying actually I agree with these guys
  • 00:31:08
    what are the top three things you would
  • 00:31:10
    maybe advise them to buy other than
  • 00:31:12
    maybe x copy because you know you have
  • 00:31:14
    to have 700 Grand to buy it no you can
  • 00:31:17
    buy that don't forget there's a lot of
  • 00:31:18
    floor cheap stuff like that's true there
  • 00:31:21
    he has an open addition which which is
  • 00:31:22
    which is less than that but are there
  • 00:31:23
    any other two things that you or let's
  • 00:31:26
    say three things what are the things
  • 00:31:27
    that you would you would pick out now
  • 00:31:28
    that we've been in the space for many
  • 00:31:30
    years and you can see the stuff that's
  • 00:31:32
    probably going to
  • 00:31:33
    be more likely to be
  • 00:31:36
    valuable I still think rare Pepe is a
  • 00:31:39
    massive
  • 00:31:40
    underlooked part of the nft market which
  • 00:31:43
    technically are not on eth like the
  • 00:31:45
    original ones are on counterparty
  • 00:31:46
    although you can buy on you can buy
  • 00:31:51
    2016 um
  • 00:31:54
    vintage nft like original nfts I think
  • 00:31:57
    that k like the N movement of the
  • 00:32:00
    biggest internet meme character of all
  • 00:32:02
    time like and it's difficult to buy like
  • 00:32:04
    I think that's that's actually a feature
  • 00:32:06
    not a bug so to me and you there rare
  • 00:32:09
    Pepes that are cheap as like a probably
  • 00:32:10
    like a few hundred dollars if not even
  • 00:32:12
    less and then some are worth hundreds of
  • 00:32:15
    thousands of dollars but um you have the
  • 00:32:17
    whole range but I think owning like a
  • 00:32:18
    rare Pepe is pretty much as OG as you
  • 00:32:21
    get in the nft space on more levels than
  • 00:32:25
    one historical significance cultural
  • 00:32:28
    ific um what about Pepe the coin as well
  • 00:32:31
    I'm just trying to think about that as a
  • 00:32:32
    as like a multicycle meme coin as well
  • 00:32:35
    yeah Doge I wouldn't write off Doge ever
  • 00:32:39
    yeah it does feel like if if someone if
  • 00:32:41
    someone said to me what what would you
  • 00:32:43
    buy coming into this space obviously x
  • 00:32:45
    copy feels like he's gonna have that art
  • 00:32:48
    narrative pretty sewn up I feel like
  • 00:32:50
    Pepe and Doge probably are multi the
  • 00:32:52
    biggest multicycle memes that you can
  • 00:32:54
    probably own and you're going to see mad
  • 00:32:56
    volatility but the you know they're
  • 00:32:57
    never going to go to zero they're always
  • 00:32:59
    going to have a bid from internet
  • 00:33:01
    culture and then for for broader nfts I
  • 00:33:03
    do a lot of them have been beaten down
  • 00:33:06
    but I can see I can see a rebound in
  • 00:33:07
    things like Bo Apes um I think maybe
  • 00:33:10
    mutant apes are cheap
  • 00:33:12
    enough mutant prices are not that
  • 00:33:15
    expensive
  • 00:33:16
    now um you know because board apes are
  • 00:33:19
    still not cheap you know for the average
  • 00:33:21
    person but mutants that's not wildly
  • 00:33:24
    expensive and in x copy it's the max
  • 00:33:26
    pain because he keeps burning them so
  • 00:33:29
    there's less and less all the time and
  • 00:33:31
    max pay are very cheap they're kind of
  • 00:33:33
    interesting and punks I guess we would
  • 00:33:35
    all agree on as well yeah we're all
  • 00:33:38
    supposed to say w guy as well but well I
  • 00:33:41
    I don't disagree mate as you know that I
  • 00:33:43
    think W guy I think mfers I think crypto
  • 00:33:47
    dick butts there's a few of that period
  • 00:33:49
    that that will always be culturally
  • 00:33:53
    remembered right and so they're always
  • 00:33:55
    going to have
  • 00:33:56
    value and all it needs is whether you
  • 00:33:59
    guys or mfers I mean they've got the MFA
  • 00:34:01
    coin and stuff whether that is worth
  • 00:34:03
    anything or not um or that was just a
  • 00:34:06
    stunt for Bas but I just think if when
  • 00:34:09
    if you if you see the opportunity to
  • 00:34:11
    reinvigorate outside of the wreck drinks
  • 00:34:13
    and back in that n nft Community when
  • 00:34:16
    it's the right time and it feels
  • 00:34:18
    authentic I think it'll come alive again
  • 00:34:21
    and you know people won't forget mfers
  • 00:34:24
    because most people don't sell that
  • 00:34:26
    stuff in the end they just identify with
  • 00:34:29
    it if I look at my if I go to um I'm
  • 00:34:31
    just going to share my screen again if I
  • 00:34:38
    can you're right like these are sort of
  • 00:34:40
    things that get remembered I think you
  • 00:34:42
    you got to pick those things now maybe
  • 00:34:44
    from the last cycle which are being
  • 00:34:45
    remembered but are still relatively
  • 00:34:47
    cheap and will probably be remembered
  • 00:34:48
    next cycle as well yeah so I've got
  • 00:34:51
    something in my you know in my whole
  • 00:34:54
    kind of n collection which is you x copy
  • 00:34:56
    B Pool Plus a few artist and stuff but I
  • 00:34:59
    have something that I call my
  • 00:35:01
    identity it's the things that that I
  • 00:35:05
    think represent me and it's obviously my
  • 00:35:08
    punk and my ape and then I did these
  • 00:35:10
    hybrids with my ex copies that an artist
  • 00:35:11
    made for me and I minted but then
  • 00:35:14
    there's my mfer and my wck
  • 00:35:16
    guy and I'm never going to sell those
  • 00:35:19
    because they actually represent a bit of
  • 00:35:21
    me and a bit of a moment in time and
  • 00:35:24
    people see them and they smile
  • 00:35:28
    because you know what it means you know
  • 00:35:29
    what it's about you can remember when it
  • 00:35:31
    came out it's like you know it's an
  • 00:35:33
    album it's something you remember it you
  • 00:35:35
    remember the day R guy came out and
  • 00:35:37
    Snoop dogs buying one you know nobody's
  • 00:35:39
    ever going to forget that it's folklore
  • 00:35:41
    so anyway I don't want to Big you guys
  • 00:35:43
    up as well but you know it's I think
  • 00:35:44
    it's part of it yeah I hope so too I do
  • 00:35:47
    I do think that you can um that these
  • 00:35:50
    things are going to be around but I
  • 00:35:52
    think that's what you got to really
  • 00:35:53
    choose now because I think it's very
  • 00:35:55
    very clear that internet culture crypto
  • 00:35:57
    culture is going to be with us and you
  • 00:35:59
    can kind of guess which stuff now is
  • 00:36:00
    going to be it has to have folklore it
  • 00:36:02
    has to have
  • 00:36:04
    folklore so maybe we we we'll change tax
  • 00:36:07
    slightly because we've been talking
  • 00:36:08
    about a lot of left curve stuff there
  • 00:36:10
    and maybe just focus on what was the
  • 00:36:11
    best perform of this week releasing on
  • 00:36:13
    the l1s which was which was
  • 00:36:16
    sui um which has been I think it was
  • 00:36:19
    trading at not point a half a dollar um
  • 00:36:22
    in the middle of August it's now at 1.5
  • 00:36:24
    it's done a 3X over the space of about a
  • 00:36:28
    month and a half I think it's close to
  • 00:36:31
    its all-time high in current market cap
  • 00:36:33
    because there's actually been some
  • 00:36:35
    dilution um just because it does have a
  • 00:36:37
    decent amount of unlocks but this has
  • 00:36:40
    been a really really crazy trade uh as a
  • 00:36:42
    comeback this week they announced that
  • 00:36:45
    they are having Circle um integrate
  • 00:36:48
    their stable coin usdc onto the chain
  • 00:36:51
    last week we had grayscale come out and
  • 00:36:53
    do a suy trust or at least start to get
  • 00:36:56
    funds from in tional investors on that
  • 00:36:59
    this one really feels it has some
  • 00:37:00
    momentum I know you're very close or
  • 00:37:02
    close with the um with the
  • 00:37:05
    foundation what what what do you think
  • 00:37:08
    here is it is this one that's going to
  • 00:37:10
    keep on pushing on is this stuff that
  • 00:37:12
    you think is coming which is going to be
  • 00:37:13
    a game changer for sui yeah I mean I you
  • 00:37:17
    know just the disclaimer is I am on the
  • 00:37:18
    board of the
  • 00:37:19
    foundation but I have you know I'm a
  • 00:37:22
    mercenary when it comes to my own money
  • 00:37:23
    and and
  • 00:37:25
    I have for a while been thinking we all
  • 00:37:28
    three of us have talked about this is
  • 00:37:31
    that this might be one of the chosen
  • 00:37:33
    ones and the reason being is that the
  • 00:37:35
    team is world class they've built you
  • 00:37:37
    know
  • 00:37:39
    scalable um blockchains suitable for
  • 00:37:42
    three billion people plus I mean these
  • 00:37:44
    guys are world class they're a little
  • 00:37:46
    bit
  • 00:37:47
    technical so the narrative was missing
  • 00:37:50
    but then started to come alive with
  • 00:37:53
    narrative but the reality is they've got
  • 00:37:55
    the latency of the chain down to 600
  • 00:37:58
    milliseconds it's stupid fast they've
  • 00:38:01
    got they've now just building this wall
  • 00:38:03
    Russ which is a data storage layer which
  • 00:38:06
    is a separate token but it's like
  • 00:38:08
    basically AWS on top of you know this
  • 00:38:12
    whole move virtual machine idea then
  • 00:38:15
    they've got pilot fish coming which is
  • 00:38:17
    their version kind of a fire dancer
  • 00:38:19
    which gives it kind of unlimited
  • 00:38:22
    TPS and they've got a very serious bis
  • 00:38:24
    Dev team obviously we've just got Circle
  • 00:38:27
    um and there'll be I'm sure plenty of
  • 00:38:30
    others whether it's in gaming or real
  • 00:38:31
    world assets and other stuff to
  • 00:38:33
    come so they've they're just capturing
  • 00:38:36
    mind share now don't forget this is a
  • 00:38:39
    low free float and once you capture mind
  • 00:38:42
    share in a low free FL it outperforms by
  • 00:38:45
    definition because there's less of it
  • 00:38:46
    around you you can have the same mind
  • 00:38:48
    share for eth it's not going to go it's
  • 00:38:50
    barely going to move so I know people
  • 00:38:53
    hate low free floats you're going to
  • 00:38:54
    love them in a bull market and hate them
  • 00:38:56
    again in a bare Market because they're
  • 00:38:58
    just Super Beta so I think that's the
  • 00:39:00
    that's the point to realize it's also
  • 00:39:02
    Super Beta capturing mind share uh you
  • 00:39:06
    know they seem to be executing well and
  • 00:39:08
    people are looking for the next big
  • 00:39:10
    trade because as as Obie was talking
  • 00:39:12
    about you know people are kind of like
  • 00:39:14
    well is the salana trade over what's the
  • 00:39:17
    next big one and so it feels like it's
  • 00:39:20
    it's got everything right and I think it
  • 00:39:23
    it I don't see what else is going to
  • 00:39:24
    dominate I look at the charts of sui
  • 00:39:26
    versus the top 20 tokens and a whole
  • 00:39:28
    bunch of other stuff I don't see
  • 00:39:30
    anything that looks close to being able
  • 00:39:33
    to compete with it for the time being
  • 00:39:35
    the only things coming are monad and bar
  • 00:39:38
    chain doesn't mean that Celestia and all
  • 00:39:40
    this stuff doesn't go up a lot but it's
  • 00:39:42
    very difficult to see anything that's
  • 00:39:43
    going to outperform that
  • 00:39:45
    chart yeah we're just bringing it up now
  • 00:39:47
    so it was a top performer in the top 100
  • 00:39:50
    this week I think it even was last week
  • 00:39:52
    as well it' been brewing for a while I
  • 00:39:53
    remember you actually posted a chart of
  • 00:39:55
    it versus salana a few weeks back and it
  • 00:39:58
    really just gapped uh during that period
  • 00:40:01
    I think it's been interesting
  • 00:40:02
    interesting one obviously this is one
  • 00:40:03
    like you said it's a $4 billion market
  • 00:40:05
    cap it's a 15 billion FTV and there are
  • 00:40:08
    there are a decent amount of unlocks as
  • 00:40:09
    there are even for many of the other
  • 00:40:11
    chains in the top the big unlock
  • 00:40:13
    happened the really horrible one has
  • 00:40:16
    happened and um I think the story there
  • 00:40:20
    has really been a bit more B2B right
  • 00:40:22
    like they do a lot of B2B sort of
  • 00:40:24
    Integrations and less of the b2c at
  • 00:40:26
    least recently or at least it's been
  • 00:40:28
    less obvious that some of their um
  • 00:40:30
    consumer crypto applications but this
  • 00:40:33
    this usdc integration perhaps really you
  • 00:40:37
    know uh allows their defi projects to to
  • 00:40:41
    grow the TV's huge as well it's $800
  • 00:40:43
    billion dollar now $800 million yeah um
  • 00:40:47
    so I think I think it's in a decent spot
  • 00:40:49
    it's obviously this is a trade which has
  • 00:40:51
    done basically a 3X in a month and a
  • 00:40:53
    half so be be wary but at the same time
  • 00:40:57
    this is um it's definitely caught
  • 00:40:58
    attention and kind of led the other uh
  • 00:41:01
    l1s Phantom's been another one because
  • 00:41:03
    they've got an upgrade coming but suie
  • 00:41:05
    does feel like it's it's captured M
  • 00:41:07
    chare you can actually see a lot of it
  • 00:41:09
    has come out from eth a lot of people
  • 00:41:10
    have been selling eth to buy suie
  • 00:41:12
    they've kind of felt like they probably
  • 00:41:13
    missed the salano trade and moved into
  • 00:41:15
    into sui but you could see from the
  • 00:41:17
    onchain flows that a lot of it actually
  • 00:41:18
    came from East the other one that's
  • 00:41:20
    interesting I just interviewed John Woo
  • 00:41:22
    from
  • 00:41:23
    Avalanche and I caught up with P kicks
  • 00:41:27
    in Portugal when I was there and I don't
  • 00:41:29
    know have you met Pierce yet Mando
  • 00:41:31
    you've got to meet him he's such a great
  • 00:41:33
    guy good friend of mine and he's the
  • 00:41:35
    gaming guy at um Deli and um he talked
  • 00:41:39
    about the investment he's made in Off
  • 00:41:42
    the Grid he's like it is the best game
  • 00:41:44
    I've ever seen in web 3 and it may be
  • 00:41:46
    one of the best games I've ever played
  • 00:41:48
    that's on Avalanche um and I got John on
  • 00:41:51
    because of what Pierce said to talk
  • 00:41:52
    about it that's going to be really
  • 00:41:54
    interesting because we've not had a
  • 00:41:55
    proper Breakout
  • 00:41:57
    you know this is a battle royale game
  • 00:42:00
    you know ultra high definition super
  • 00:42:03
    quality um if this takes off okay that's
  • 00:42:05
    a big
  • 00:42:07
    deal well gaming gaming has had a bit of
  • 00:42:10
    a weird cycle it was very very strong
  • 00:42:12
    probably a year ago you had a bunch of
  • 00:42:13
    different coins come out there's
  • 00:42:14
    actually A1 billion doll gaming coin
  • 00:42:16
    which launched today uh on the ton
  • 00:42:19
    Network there was a you know one of
  • 00:42:20
    these telegram mobile games launched by
  • 00:42:24
    binance um hit a billion dollars today
  • 00:42:27
    you have the hamster
  • 00:42:28
    combat uh launch I think next week which
  • 00:42:31
    could be multiple billions looking at
  • 00:42:33
    looking at um where that Co launched
  • 00:42:36
    today but if that is the case then yeah
  • 00:42:38
    avac does have a very very strong gaming
  • 00:42:40
    Inc care system we could say we could
  • 00:42:42
    see that come come back um pretty pretty
  • 00:42:45
    strongly are there any other altcoin
  • 00:42:46
    narratives that you picked up on OSF in
  • 00:42:49
    in Singapore anything that people were
  • 00:42:51
    talking about that could be applications
  • 00:42:53
    I know I saw a few people mention like
  • 00:42:54
    deep in being the like the main one but
  • 00:42:56
    I didn't because I think there was some
  • 00:42:58
    Integrations with like grab out there
  • 00:43:00
    and couple other deep um Integrations it
  • 00:43:02
    does feel as though that one seems to
  • 00:43:05
    have the strongest things going on with
  • 00:43:06
    it right now yeah I would agree with
  • 00:43:08
    that but there wasn't
  • 00:43:11
    any it was one of those conferences I
  • 00:43:13
    didn't come away with like oh we have to
  • 00:43:15
    spend time looking at this and that
  • 00:43:17
    usually happens to every conference I go
  • 00:43:18
    to this one was
  • 00:43:20
    like it felt like a conference of people
  • 00:43:23
    with frustrated positions that hadn't
  • 00:43:25
    gone well this year like that was my
  • 00:43:27
    sentiment for it usually when I go to
  • 00:43:30
    whatever like nft myc or consensus
  • 00:43:32
    Austin or whatever I come back thinking
  • 00:43:34
    oh I need to spend a day right now
  • 00:43:36
    looking at this thing to put money into
  • 00:43:38
    it it didn't feel like that at all um I
  • 00:43:41
    think all the narratives are out there
  • 00:43:42
    all the yor coins have been identified
  • 00:43:44
    it's just a case of canot rally like
  • 00:43:48
    that's the that's what it feels like to
  • 00:43:50
    me there wasn't anything new or any
  • 00:43:52
    particular area where I felt like people
  • 00:43:53
    were specifically focused on or or or
  • 00:43:56
    excited about really to be honest with
  • 00:43:58
    you is more just hope trade
  • 00:44:01
    which we're all in in it for the hopium
  • 00:44:03
    as well but is there anything you like
  • 00:44:06
    anything you've liked as well R like I
  • 00:44:08
    know you often at like The Cutting Edge
  • 00:44:09
    of a lot of these sort of early trends
  • 00:44:11
    that you've interviewed or or spoken to
  • 00:44:13
    recently you're like oh
  • 00:44:15
    W um you know I joined the board of Club
  • 00:44:17
    dean of danan which you guys know as
  • 00:44:20
    well because I'm just really interested
  • 00:44:22
    in following that Journey you know
  • 00:44:25
    they're launching their token today
  • 00:44:27
    tomorrow um it's not really about token
  • 00:44:29
    price for me and that it's like can you
  • 00:44:31
    actually use this stuff for loyalty
  • 00:44:33
    Logistics dpin and all of the things
  • 00:44:36
    that are being talked about um but in
  • 00:44:39
    the markets now I'm super concentrated
  • 00:44:42
    you know it's the salana sui and even my
  • 00:44:45
    memes are all down to one uh two which
  • 00:44:47
    is Doge and uh smoking chicken fish so
  • 00:44:50
    I'm hyper concentrated and then nfts is
  • 00:44:54
    my long-term savings bucket you know
  • 00:44:56
    stuff I want to have for 10 years um and
  • 00:44:59
    that's it I'm trying to keep out of
  • 00:45:01
    trouble um I think it's a really
  • 00:45:03
    important thing is if you think you've
  • 00:45:05
    got decently strong narratives just
  • 00:45:07
    don't [ __ ] around with it because before
  • 00:45:09
    you know it you chop yourself up to
  • 00:45:11
    death by trying to C catch
  • 00:45:14
    something the other thing I saw this
  • 00:45:16
    week was the was the Bhutan headline
  • 00:45:19
    which was that they are they came out as
  • 00:45:21
    a holder of $780 million Bitcoin I know
  • 00:45:24
    also you're somebody who speaks to
  • 00:45:25
    various different Sovereign wealth funds
  • 00:45:27
    various different even Nations
  • 00:45:29
    themselves um in terms of advising about
  • 00:45:31
    blockchain and blockchain
  • 00:45:33
    strategy do you think we had more of
  • 00:45:35
    these sort of stories coming we saw
  • 00:45:36
    Qatar come out with with crypto
  • 00:45:38
    regulation about a week ago or has it
  • 00:45:41
    been kind of quiet I know you've kind of
  • 00:45:43
    you've spoken to people on both sides
  • 00:45:45
    there like do you think we're going to
  • 00:45:46
    see adoption from a sovereign and
  • 00:45:48
    Sovereign wealth fund level from some of
  • 00:45:50
    the conversations you've
  • 00:45:51
    had I don't
  • 00:45:54
    think if they do it's going to be the
  • 00:45:57
    radar screen the last thing you want to
  • 00:45:59
    flag is to the US Reserve currency that
  • 00:46:02
    you don't want to hold their
  • 00:46:04
    currency um and you know something
  • 00:46:07
    they're kind of somewhat hostile to you
  • 00:46:09
    want to hold that so I mean Bhutan is
  • 00:46:12
    different they're recycling
  • 00:46:13
    electricity I mean we know Iran has it
  • 00:46:16
    I'm sure the Saudis have mined it um you
  • 00:46:19
    know I've spoken to Abu Dhabi about
  • 00:46:21
    using the gas flare offs to do
  • 00:46:24
    it um so I think there'll be experiment
  • 00:46:27
    mentation but I don't think there's
  • 00:46:29
    going to be Sovereign Sovereign Nation
  • 00:46:31
    State hoarding and don't forget the US
  • 00:46:34
    knows how to analyze blockchain down to
  • 00:46:36
    every single small detail so you you
  • 00:46:39
    can't evade them the only real way of
  • 00:46:41
    doing it is what I think tasek did which
  • 00:46:44
    is I think they had investments in
  • 00:46:46
    Bitcoin miners to get virgin Bitcoin so
  • 00:46:50
    therefore it's the only untraceable way
  • 00:46:52
    of doing it do do you think just with
  • 00:46:56
    you know how oil has been going a lot of
  • 00:46:58
    different Commodities even this cycle
  • 00:46:59
    particularly the energy sector as well
  • 00:47:02
    do you not think a lot of these Gulf
  • 00:47:03
    States will just jump at something like
  • 00:47:06
    Bitcoin like as a way to diversify I was
  • 00:47:08
    looking I was reading a lot of pieces
  • 00:47:09
    about how the Saudis are under pressure
  • 00:47:11
    of their budget at the moment they're
  • 00:47:13
    all pegged to the dollar I mean
  • 00:47:16
    they you know they have to be very
  • 00:47:18
    careful in how they do things there are
  • 00:47:20
    some things deemed to be acceptable and
  • 00:47:22
    things to be deemed to be unacceptable
  • 00:47:24
    they will do it but in the background
  • 00:47:27
    but I don't think we're going to wake up
  • 00:47:28
    it's like Saudi buying you know10
  • 00:47:30
    billion dollar a day for the next 50
  • 00:47:32
    years it's just I just don't think
  • 00:47:35
    that's going to happen I think that's
  • 00:47:36
    more opium but of course there'll be
  • 00:47:39
    more participation and it will come
  • 00:47:42
    from I mean I spoke to the head of the
  • 00:47:45
    Australian Sovereign wealth fund and he
  • 00:47:49
    was like sat in his office and he's like
  • 00:47:52
    listen I am never going to put crypto on
  • 00:47:55
    my balance sheet
  • 00:47:57
    he said ' I'll do VC and stuff like that
  • 00:47:59
    I said why not he goes I am not going to
  • 00:48:02
    a G7 meeting or whatever it is a world
  • 00:48:05
    bank and doing this I can't I just can't
  • 00:48:08
    and that was a big you know clear thing
  • 00:48:10
    it's like it's a it's a no
  • 00:48:14
    no yeah I just agree with you you so you
  • 00:48:17
    think that the the golf stations won't
  • 00:48:19
    even be allowed to like just they have
  • 00:48:21
    to buy dollars and they're not going to
  • 00:48:22
    be allowed to to maybe diversify they to
  • 00:48:25
    do it somewhat in their Sovereign wealth
  • 00:48:28
    in some
  • 00:48:29
    respects but it's kind of hidden pushed
  • 00:48:32
    to the periphery you know don't forget
  • 00:48:33
    the Saudis are not big in this yet
  • 00:48:35
    they've still yet to be convinced the
  • 00:48:37
    regulation's not super clear uh yes you
  • 00:48:40
    know potentially uh
  • 00:48:43
    Bahrain Qatar some of those other states
  • 00:48:48
    might do something but again below the
  • 00:48:50
    radar screen I don't think there's going
  • 00:48:52
    to be any Public Announcement much like
  • 00:48:54
    Bhutan managed to do this without
  • 00:48:55
    anybody knowing this has been going on
  • 00:48:56
    for several years yeah I just feel there
  • 00:49:00
    could be a rush to diversify now if oil
  • 00:49:02
    continues to head south um and
  • 00:49:06
    particularly if or you know if the the
  • 00:49:08
    giant Shale oil fields kind of come back
  • 00:49:11
    online or even grow in the US like I do
  • 00:49:14
    think that there's going to be more and
  • 00:49:15
    more questions about how a lot of these
  • 00:49:16
    Gulf States are going to um treat crypto
  • 00:49:19
    or maybe look to it to diversify their
  • 00:49:22
    their current Holdings should we get to
  • 00:49:24
    the question so yeah we have about eight
  • 00:49:26
    minutes left so um let's move on to
  • 00:49:28
    questions before we do that um just a
  • 00:49:31
    quick one for you guys we want to
  • 00:49:32
    showcase some more Pro crypto content on
  • 00:49:34
    real Vision earlier this week the
  • 00:49:36
    community came together for the monthly
  • 00:49:38
    Discord Distillery this is the show
  • 00:49:40
    where the r real Vision Pro crypto
  • 00:49:42
    members share the best Alpha from their
  • 00:49:44
    Discord so you can check that out on the
  • 00:49:45
    realvision website that's realvision
  • 00:49:47
    decom and don't forget there's a Code
  • 00:49:49
    you can use right now to bag yourself a
  • 00:49:51
    membership at a discount that is bday1
  • 00:49:54
    uh the code to use but yeah now on to
  • 00:49:56
    the question questions um we'll kick it
  • 00:49:58
    off from Jason on the real Vision
  • 00:50:00
    website which is his question is
  • 00:50:02
    thoughts on true flation and true
  • 00:50:04
    inflation's token how do you categorize
  • 00:50:06
    alts that are
  • 00:50:07
    databased it's an interesting question
  • 00:50:11
    actually I I've got some in my wallet
  • 00:50:13
    because they gave them some to me but
  • 00:50:14
    it's like a grand or something um I
  • 00:50:21
    don't I get the point of utility tokens
  • 00:50:24
    but I'm not sure how much value they
  • 00:50:25
    acrew without Mass use
  • 00:50:27
    case
  • 00:50:29
    um so maybe over time if they can build
  • 00:50:32
    out a much larger Suite if they can take
  • 00:50:34
    on standard and pause or whoever it is
  • 00:50:36
    for all of the data then it's it's a
  • 00:50:39
    valuable Network to own um not sure yet
  • 00:50:42
    I think just follow the journey and see
  • 00:50:45
    it's not the uh prettiest chart I've
  • 00:50:47
    I've ever seen as as I pulled it up
  • 00:50:51
    um but to be honest with you I'm not
  • 00:50:53
    super familiar with uh with as a token
  • 00:50:57
    I don't know if you had any thoughts on
  • 00:50:58
    that one Mando no I haven't I haven't
  • 00:51:00
    really looked into it so yeah not not
  • 00:51:02
    one for me um all right next question
  • 00:51:05
    from Elia on the real Vision website um
  • 00:51:07
    thoughts on deep in and how it factors
  • 00:51:09
    into the cycle any specific projects the
  • 00:51:12
    guys are looking into with regard to
  • 00:51:14
    deep
  • 00:51:15
    in yeah I think I think this is one that
  • 00:51:18
    I picked up on just from the commentary
  • 00:51:19
    from token 2049 like Singapore is
  • 00:51:21
    integrating a few of these s deepin apps
  • 00:51:24
    already the big big app so far this
  • 00:51:28
    cycle um has been the mobile provider um
  • 00:51:30
    helium in the in the US which I think is
  • 00:51:33
    is growing pretty rapidly I think it's
  • 00:51:35
    in hundreds of thousands of of um
  • 00:51:38
    subscribers at the moment to their
  • 00:51:40
    mobile plan and they are looking to to
  • 00:51:42
    grow that pretty
  • 00:51:43
    aggressively and if that works then I do
  • 00:51:47
    think you'll see copy cap sort of
  • 00:51:49
    projects happen in a lot of different
  • 00:51:50
    countries um and the idea is you you
  • 00:51:54
    basically run a small let's say Network
  • 00:51:58
    at your house which is able to boost the
  • 00:52:01
    5G um capabilities of the network and
  • 00:52:04
    you get paid in the in a native token
  • 00:52:06
    for doing that and that means you have
  • 00:52:08
    network coverage kind of across the us
  • 00:52:11
    at the moment and they are very good
  • 00:52:12
    network coverage across the US and
  • 00:52:15
    seemingly they're looking to to to do
  • 00:52:17
    this potentially in M multiple other
  • 00:52:18
    different countries but I think a lot of
  • 00:52:20
    other countries will move before that so
  • 00:52:22
    I think mobile networks is a very
  • 00:52:24
    interesting one particularly on the back
  • 00:52:26
    what's going on there so that's the main
  • 00:52:28
    winner I would say in the deep in SE of
  • 00:52:30
    this cycle there's been some other ones
  • 00:52:32
    which kind of merge Ai and data storage
  • 00:52:36
    stuff but that that's the one I think
  • 00:52:37
    it's been the stand out also the I think
  • 00:52:39
    it's on salana they're experimenting
  • 00:52:41
    with a uber version which people have
  • 00:52:43
    talked about for a long time is perfect
  • 00:52:45
    for deepin feels right somebody tried it
  • 00:52:47
    in India didn't take off um people have
  • 00:52:50
    tried it but there's a new one starting
  • 00:52:52
    that could be
  • 00:52:54
    interesting next question um does the
  • 00:52:57
    inverted yield curve turning normal
  • 00:52:59
    cause any concern so much talk about how
  • 00:53:01
    it is a recession
  • 00:53:04
    indicator I think it's just a Big R red
  • 00:53:06
    herring um I'm just you know it's just
  • 00:53:10
    the macro doomsters looking for another
  • 00:53:12
    reason why the markets are going to
  • 00:53:13
    collapse and everything's going to go to
  • 00:53:15
    hell and inflation's going to come
  • 00:53:17
    roaring back and this is just one of
  • 00:53:19
    those things we've had signals in the
  • 00:53:21
    past where it didn't work we've got
  • 00:53:22
    distortions in the yield curve because
  • 00:53:24
    of how the fedish ring notes stuff at
  • 00:53:26
    the short end um I think
  • 00:53:29
    ignore I agree I think something I see a
  • 00:53:32
    lot is people talking about oh
  • 00:53:34
    historically rate cuts a sign of a
  • 00:53:37
    recession and you know point where
  • 00:53:38
    markets turn I just don't think you can
  • 00:53:41
    take one factor which is rate cuts and
  • 00:53:44
    extrapolate it to every single situation
  • 00:53:46
    and did LA you know last time that
  • 00:53:49
    happened did you have this crazy AI
  • 00:53:51
    bubble and AI boom no like last time
  • 00:53:53
    that happened did you have rates go
  • 00:53:56
    to the highest levels they've they've
  • 00:53:57
    been in the last four decades at the
  • 00:54:00
    same time as stocks hitting consistently
  • 00:54:02
    hitting new alltime highs that's never
  • 00:54:04
    happened before right so we're in a new
  • 00:54:06
    paradigm because of AI and because of
  • 00:54:08
    tech stocks and you can't just compare
  • 00:54:11
    this current market situation to
  • 00:54:12
    previous times when we've had rate Cuts
  • 00:54:15
    in my opinion um so you have to to
  • 00:54:17
    consider everything every single factor
  • 00:54:18
    and not just one of them um next
  • 00:54:22
    question from John on the real verion
  • 00:54:23
    website the market feels like this is
  • 00:54:25
    retail crypto people buying back in and
  • 00:54:27
    front running as best as they can are
  • 00:54:30
    there any indicators of bigger money
  • 00:54:31
    flows into crypto I'm not seeing any I
  • 00:54:35
    mean everybody I speak to is saying
  • 00:54:37
    they're not raising Capital right now
  • 00:54:39
    everyone's kind of in that wait and see
  • 00:54:41
    mode and people are a bit disheartened
  • 00:54:44
    not disenchanted but disheartened and I
  • 00:54:48
    think the the Raa networks the family
  • 00:54:51
    offices and some of the institutions
  • 00:54:53
    they're really more likely to fomo in at
  • 00:54:56
    north of 880,000 Bitcoin and right now
  • 00:54:59
    it's rotation it's bit of money went on
  • 00:55:03
    the sidelines goes back in I don't see
  • 00:55:05
    anything more I don't know are you guys
  • 00:55:06
    seeing anything
  • 00:55:08
    else the whole cycle yeah I I don't I
  • 00:55:10
    don't I don't really feel like we've had
  • 00:55:11
    a huge influx of new people coming into
  • 00:55:14
    crypto this cycle we'd had a little bit
  • 00:55:15
    of a of an influx I think at the start
  • 00:55:18
    of the year and then slowly died down um
  • 00:55:21
    that being said I do think the the ETF
  • 00:55:23
    is also taking a few of those Maybe on
  • 00:55:26
    chain holders I think Bitcoin holders is
  • 00:55:28
    at least um deposit addresses is like a
  • 00:55:30
    5year low at the moment but I think a
  • 00:55:32
    lot of that is moving uh to the ETF I
  • 00:55:34
    think if for St people to start fomo
  • 00:55:37
    foming and you start to hear those of
  • 00:55:38
    stories which bring people in you need
  • 00:55:40
    Bitcoin at an alltime high again so I
  • 00:55:42
    does feel as though people are probably
  • 00:55:43
    just buying back in with spare cash they
  • 00:55:45
    have or anything that they've sold um
  • 00:55:48
    rather than than like new wallets coming
  • 00:55:50
    in but that doesn't necessarily mean
  • 00:55:51
    they won't come in later like that's
  • 00:55:52
    what 2 at xam we've got a big list of
  • 00:55:56
    people who came in for inquiries around
  • 00:55:59
    March April and then the market traded
  • 00:56:02
    sideways and they're like all aring and
  • 00:56:04
    ouring and oh yeah I'll do my paperwork
  • 00:56:07
    later and my guess is the conversion
  • 00:56:09
    rate of those guys will be very high
  • 00:56:12
    once we're hitting alltime highs yeah
  • 00:56:14
    just a natural inclination FTX is also
  • 00:56:17
    the other big one 16 billion is not a
  • 00:56:19
    small amount going back but wasn't most
  • 00:56:22
    of that kind of pre-sold in advance via
  • 00:56:25
    Galaxy and panta and that's been
  • 00:56:28
    depressing Soul somewhat because some of
  • 00:56:30
    those unlocks have been coming out um
  • 00:56:32
    because other people saying well it's
  • 00:56:33
    maybe two billion or three billion of of
  • 00:56:36
    actual money that's coming back in I
  • 00:56:39
    don't know
  • 00:56:41
    this the potential impacts would be but
  • 00:56:43
    I think there's two things right there's
  • 00:56:45
    like the FCX FTX estate sales which have
  • 00:56:49
    been in the market for a while and then
  • 00:56:50
    there's also the impact of um money
  • 00:56:54
    being distributed back to depositors
  • 00:56:56
    some of which been also sold you know I
  • 00:56:58
    think I heard people sold claims as low
  • 00:57:00
    as 10 cents and obviously recover is
  • 00:57:02
    north of par there but I think that
  • 00:57:04
    secondary impact of those of that money
  • 00:57:07
    being returned to depositors should be
  • 00:57:09
    bullish assuming that not everyone has
  • 00:57:11
    sold their to their
  • 00:57:14
    claims um yeah I think there's two parts
  • 00:57:16
    to it yeah but yeah that's uh that's the
  • 00:57:19
    last question that brings us to time so
  • 00:57:22
    thanks everyone again for tuning in
  • 00:57:24
    thanks Ral for for turning up I think um
  • 00:57:27
    we managed to Not Crash the market today
  • 00:57:29
    um maybe that's the r he's turned up
  • 00:57:32
