Ladies and gents welcome back to another live stream. Hopefully you guys are doing well. Today is a thursday evening, and we are coming to you live right now, talking about some crypto news and things that are going on within the market. We've been getting some interesting reports and articles first things.

First, we got to talk about what is going on over in ukraine, because right now, that is still having a lot of play and influence within major markets right now, we're also going to be talking about the sec because they do want to get their fingers into The nft market, what that means for us investors and we're also going to be talking about overall, what we're seeing right now within all all coins and what is going on with bitcoin, if you guys are enjoying these updates. Do me a favor drop a like down below that really does help out this channel, and let me know where you guys are tuning in from over here in maryland. It is dark outside and it's a little bit of a later time. It's 10 o'clock p.m.

Eastern time today, first things first, the global crypto market cap. For today, ladies and gents, it's sitting at 1.83 trillion dollars. Let me get this squeezed in right here. If you guys didn't see uh or didn't experience the pump this week, that has been absolutely marvelous.

A lot of the cryptocurrencies are still in the green in the last seven days, but you'll notice that, even on days like today, bitcoin is having a little bit of a pullback. Also big shout out to my boy, humphrey yang. If he's still in here, uh bitcoin is currently sitting at 41 446 dollars. It is still above the previous support level that we were able to create and a lot of the uh uh.

I would say a lot of the sentiment that has been positive. Just in the past three days has really come from the spike that we did see with bitcoin, just because it has been a pretty tough a few months if we pull it back to the three month. You'll notice that, even though we're hitting some near good numbers with everything rallying before this start of the year, when we did have those initial few drops in the market, it really did bring down the sentiment going into the crypto fear and greed index. Today, you will notice that we are seeing a bunch of fear all around in the market, even though we did experience a few good days.

I know today, on a day like this, you may be asking yourself how come we are now seeing the price of bitcoin going down. This is just gon na be a realization of people taking in those profits, so that is anytime. We see anyone entering the bottom or buying up those dips. You do want to make sure you take profits along the way when we see a giant recourse of people doing that at the same time or just over time.

That is when we get a little bit of red candles, pulling us back to the downside, but good news is: we are still well above forty one thousand dollars at the time of filming today's live stream. The global crypto market cap is sitting at one point. Eighty three trillion dollars and in terms of any new news there hasn't been anything that has changed drastically. We did have the state of the union, a conference with the biden administration yesterday uh and we'll be talking a little bit more about what we saw from there.

Other than uh nancy pelosi doing some funny things with their hands. Did y'all see that meme pelosi. I don't know what she was doing with her hands. She was like standing up.

She became a meme overnight with that, but moving forward. Let's talk about some all coins. Ethereum has been trailing a little bit behind bitcoin, which is pretty unusual anytime. We do see rallies with bitcoin.

We do. We do usually see ethereum doing very similar things where it is going up even more in price. Now um, we are still seeing a ton of volume going into stable coins, uh like usct uh tether, which is currently getting a volume of 60 billion dollars compared to let's say bitcoin, which is only at 27 billion about half of the amount of money that we're Still seeing in terms of volume going into the stable coins going through many all coins, you will notice that, although many things are reflecting the price action that we're seeing with bitcoin, they are still in the green uh. Binance token is up seven percent.

In the last seven days still xrp is still up about four percent. We still have tara, luna, doing amazing things up 36 and we're also going to be talking about one of tara, luna's protocols, which is going to be anchor and some news that they talked about because anchor also had a pretty solid pump today. So, let's actually type this in and see if we can get the token coming up and see and you'll notice that they're currently at 4.68 cents right now in the last seven days, having an amazing, pull-up and we'll be talking about some other all coins that you Could also be looking at with the title of today's video. What's next for crypto investor cell, this is something we're just gon na go into as we progress through this video so make sure you guys stay tuned.

If you really don't know what the move right now to make within this market is because i know it gets a little funky and i know it can uh really be confusing for a lot of new investors during this time. So we'll just be breaking down some basics and investor etiquette that you should at least have locked down. So you have a better idea on what we should be doing during this time. On top of that, just taking a look at some other all coins listed on the market, uh, tara, luna in terms of price 91 - still a solid price right now in terms of the gains that you would have made.

I don't know if this would be a good buy entry right now, just because we do pull it back to the all-time charts. It is still pretty close to the previous all-time high uh and anytime. We do get hard rallies. We do see a collection of profits coming in from other investors, which pull the price down, and that is often times when you'd want to buy back in you don't want to be buying back at the top.

On top of that card is still under a dollar right now we got solana back at 91 dollars and 80 cents same price action as tara luna, but, as you guys know, prices for crypto does not reflect the actual price. It's not the same. Uh form of metric, like many people, would compare the stock market too uh just because supply is always circulating and you can actually gauge and change the amount that you have, which will change the actual price token. That is why, when you take a look at other cryptocurrencies, just for any of our new beginners uh you'll notice, cardano's is at 87 cents uh, but then we have scrolling down like wrapped bitcoin as an example, maybe maybe that makes it more confusing or cosmos.

It's at 33.51 and it has less of a market cap. It is just because, based on how they choose the economics of their token, which is also called tokenomics - and this is just going to give us uh - you know the price action or the the price volatility or the numbers that we actually see with the token itself, Which doesn't reflect the number that you would see in comparison to the stock market moving down? We did get some interesting news about dogecoin. There is ukraine talking about how they would be accepting that in forms of tokens so going to this article right here, ukraine expands uh, crypto donations to accept dogecoin, the dog team, the dog themed meme coin, joins bitcoin ether, usdt soul and dot, as cryptocurrencies currently accepted By ukraine - and this actually came out from the loading vice prime minister of ukraine, mikkel leo fedorov and he stated dogecoin exceeded russian ruble in value. I think it's a little bit of shade right.

There too, we start to accept donations in memecoin. He then states now even meme can support our army and save lives from russian invaders. Doge owners of the world elon musk billy m2k. Let's do it official doge wallet, and then they listed right here.

So ukraine has actually been getting a ton of uh donations over the past few days. When we did last make our live stream, it was around 12 million dollars. It has gone up more significantly than that uh and we actually did get even more word that ukraine was going to do an air drop, giving back uh crypto to the people uh, but instead they did go ahead and announce. They were going to cancel the airdrop and they're going to actually issue an nft, craig andrus.

Thank you so much for the dono thoughts on kadena. I believe that's kda. Let's talk about the questions and stuff towards the end of this live stream. I'm gon na get through these articles first, but i'll make sure.

I remember that one craig or i hope i do i'm gon na - have it locked in here all right so going into a bit more of this article. If you guys didn't know right now, a lot of people from ukraine are fleeing the country. It is reported that over a million people have left. I went on airbnb this morning or this afternoon, and they even have some campaigns.

Oh here it is it's actually already in the news. Let's pull up this article uh uh, let's see, let's see, i think it's better to go on airbnb's website. Instead, ukraine airbnbs receive bookings in effort to get money to residents. That is interesting, but that is alongside not what we were looking for.

It's right here so airbnb has stated: help house uh a hundred thousand refugees fleeing ukraine uh and right now you can basically offer stays for free at a discount through airbnb.org or donate to help our funding stretch further. They state your support makes a difference. Airbnb is funding short-term housing for up to 100 000 people. We support our refugee guests regardless of nationality, race, ethnicity, or how they identify, and this is just showing a lot of the companies that are uniting together, and this does also open up the conversation.

Well, what is going on with nato? What is actually going on with uh organizations that have been created in order to really help ukraine other than playing more the defense of seeing what they can do as companies, because you know you still have limitations on the extent of help that you can offer. This is going to go into the next article that i want to talk about here, and this is going to be nato's response to russia's invasion of ukraine, something that i know a lot of you guys are wondering. Is you know if russia is currently coming after ukraine they're still active in their invasion? I believe is week two right now: how come nato one of the alliance partners, which is meant to protect countries uh during situations like this? How come they haven't stepped in and why aren't they still not doing anything when it looks like a majority of the world is against what russia is still doing. So a lot of this comes down to what the nato treatment the nato treaty entails, and this actually breaks it down with some easy faqs that go through it.

So, first of all, what are nato and allies doing to help ukraine? Nato is helping to coordinate ukraine's request for assistance and is supporting allies in the delivery of human human terror. Humanitarian come on bj and non-lethal aid. Individual nato member countries are sending weapons, ammunition, medical supplies and other vital military equipment to ukraine. Dang.

Your boy needs a sip of water yo. I need, let me get some water. Real, quick got. No water out here got some old macho.

Ah brian john, can you read without messing up for the people? Can you do that? Let me know, let me know in the chat yeah. My initials are bj man yeah, so ukraine is not part of nato uh. That treaty did not fully go through just because ukraine's president, before the one that we have right now, uh was under putin's reign. So there were so many protests going on and just catching up on the history of everything that we saw.

I think vice made the best video explaining this right now. So if you guys go ahead and watch vice's video that they put out a few days ago, uh, i believe it's at three to four million views, just giving you all the best graphics and keeping you up to date on the history of ukraine and nato. Uh up until the last, i i think it's a 10 minute long video, but up until the last like world war ii incident that we had uh, but for anyone who is just asking yourself. Basically what the question is, how come nato's not sending troops? We are getting a lot of reports that ukraine is getting a lot of help from major countries.

They are getting uh the missiles that are able to shoot down a lot of the planes, a lot of defensive, uh equipment and weapons. But the question here when it comes to what? What are nato and allies doing to help ukraine they state? Nato is helping to coordinate ukraine's request for assistance and supporting allies in the delivery of human, humanitarian and non-lethal aid. But this is where it's really important. Nato's actions are defensive, designed not to provoke a conflict but to prevent a but to prevent a conflict.

It's important to make sure that there's not an even even bigger crisis in europe where russia challenges come on all right i mean i just got ta slow down a little bit tonight. I think that's what it is, ladies and gents yeah. So there was a word also that there was a nuclear plant which could cause a result of just one of the more massive incidents in ukraine right now. Let me see i can pull it up.

They did actually come out and state that the current status of that was false, so ap news came out the article uh and it actually turned out that it was not on fire. It's another administrative building and it's not as bad as it seems. There was also reports that radiation levels in ukraine were going up, but right now people just aren't sure. So let me just type this into google's to see if i can pull up that recent article so two hours ago, nuclear plants on fire amid russian shelling radiation levels steady a lot of different sources right now reporting this.

So i just think it's better to wait until tomorrow morning to see what the most accurate stories are going to be. There are some theories that ukraine is. You know saying that this is happening when it may not be or russians may not be attacking it. Just so that they can get a full reason on nato to activate and be a bit more aggressive with the production that ukraine should be receiving, so i do think it's gon na take a little bit of time.

Let me know you guys thoughts down below on this article or, if you guys have heard about this news at all in a bit and yes, this situation does affect crypto, and this is why we're discussing it on our channel right now, one of the last videos That i made was titled the crypto war and the reason why it is that is because crypto is being used on both sides. Ukraine is receiving a ton of crypto in donations in order to support their defensive needs, while at the same time, while russia is getting strained economically, they are resorting to crypto as well in order to use decentralized, peer-to-peer transactions or currencies to evade the swift restrictions that Got slapped on them, which should you know, is actually tanking the price of the ruble right now for russia, so this does involve crypto uh. If all countries right now are going through some type of extremity, ukraine is going on the defense where their country might even shut down their economy might go to waste they're going to be resorting to crypto in order to preserve that wealth, while at the same time Russia is going to be using that putting their money into the market which drives the price of other assets up, so whatever happens throughout ukraine, if you guys want to say you know brian, this is uh. This is all just a giant, puppeteer art thing going on right now.

This is nothing i i completely disagree. I i really think this is gon na have an influence on what we're gon na see for the rest of the year, and this is why it's so important for us to keep up to date on what we're seeing. I think even right now, because of all the incidents things like crypto regulations that have been pushed way farther ahead into the future until a lot of this can actually get contained. In addition to that, basic central bank policy was the largest influence on the price of different assets within the market.

It affected stocks, the indices it affected crypto significantly, and that is why we saw bitcoin taking the dip that it did. So, even at a time like this, when there's so many things going out in the world, it is important to know what is happening just so that we can better time these investments or know what to do in the case that we do expect a more turbulent Future, so on top of that, the sec also said, or this article states, that they smell something fishy about the nft market and is launching a probe. In recent months, the u.s securities and exchange commission's legal councils have issued summons to the nft market creators and other crypto exchanges seeking additional information about their projects. This is led by chairman gary gensler.

Let me know if y'all are a fan of him and if you love him drop a like down below. It is also reportedly reportedly moving to investigate whether nft developers and marketplaces are breaching securities rules. Numerous news outlets disclosed on thursday. According to reports, the regulator's main goal is to investigate it.

Particular nft tokens are being used to raise money in the same way as traditional securities are so under the lens they state, while crypto lending products have been at the crosshairs of regulators in the last year. This report represents a significant step forward: improbing the nft market, just like similar to the crypto market. We really don't know what is going to get regulated uh. We don't know how fractional nfts are going to get deployed.

We don't know what the sec wants to do in terms of classifying this or how it really works. If we can even declare losses within nfts because uh, you know a majority of wins, as there are within the market. I know there are people who are down on their investment and the question is: can we still collect uh tax loss, harvesting rules? With this, when we don't have regulation, it's just very difficult. The money the water gets very muddy for individuals and i think, when we do get a little bit of clarity within this, not only does it help the overall crypto market, but even specifically the nft side as well.

Okay, so federal chairman jerome powell, yesterday also stated war underscores need for crypto regulation. This is relating back to what i said with how ukraine and russia are both using. This he's also talking about the need for this, just because of everything going on in the world. He states right here we have this burgening industry, which has many parts to it, and there isn't a place in the kind of regulatory framework that needs to be there.

The fed chair was responding to a question about whether russia could use cryptocurrencies to bypass sanctions, so something we just mentioned, and obviously the government is keeping an eye out on this. I think, through due time, we will see the way that we can involve regulations uh, but they do mention a little bit here on cbdc, which is going to be a government or central bank based cryptocurrency, and i think this is something that we should keep an Eye out on pow also said, he's inclined to impose and support a 25 basis, point rate hike in march, we're in march right now. So it's a few more weeks until we can get notice on what that's going to look like. I do personally still think that we're going to see volatility within the crypto market uh into about a week prior to the actual day of when we do get the rate hikes, which i think is very very likely for us to see the cme groups fedwatch tool.

Also showed that futures traders see a 90 chance of that quarter, percentage point hike as opposed to a half percentage point, which many thought was very likely just a week ago. So it looks like the number based on how much we're gon na uh put up those basis. Points has been fluctuating and it's not gon na be as high as we expected it to be before alrighty so guys. I think that is a majority of the topics.

I did want to cover in today's video. Oh a few more things. All coin news avalanche also did have some news talking about how users can now buy polygon or bsc assets in a single transaction cross chain messaging. Protocol router protocol has added support for avalanches c chain, allowing users to conduct transactions across various networks.

This is all gon na go into the principle of interoperability within crypto, so where we can see other cryptos merging together being able to have utility amongst one another. I think this is really good for many other all coins and when we do get bitcoin at making another rally in the future, i do think out. All coins should rip again, so i am looking to put more positions into all coins. Once we get a bit more of a dip, i think the previous one week was confirmation that the crypto market is indeed alive.

It's not this full dead bear market that everyone thought it was uh, even though i do still want to think that march is going to be more volatility month and because of this pump was just still a bit more unexpected. It seems a bit artificial to me. Uh, when we do get institutions uh and large large whales buying up the dip. Usually this is what it looks like.

We don't get in a short period of time, all retail investors wanting to buy up the dip singularity. This is usually when we get large large positions just buying up the dip and then after that is usually the retail spike coming in because of fomo. So if that is the case, if we do get a correction, we do get a pull down back to maybe even half of where the previous support level was. That is still going to place us, hopefully above 38 to 39 000.

In that case, i do know that all coins are gon na pull back with it and if you guys are more optimistic about the market, which i personally am long term, especially for this year, that is going to be another entry point when we do get uh The talks of the rate hike in a few weeks in march, so i think that is going to be another opportunity if you are looking for it. Some of the most bullish cryptos, at least for this week, has definitely been luna. Solana is one of our top picks too at 91 right now, and there is definitely way more possibilities for a lot of these all coins to be flipping one another. What does that mean? It means they will surpass each other in market cap.

So, therefore, if you're able to find any undervalued, all coins undervalued to your due diligence, you're able to find that arbitrage and make that difference and capitalize on the market gains. So if you have been taking profits and you have made money in the market, that is good - i think long term um the strategy of hot link, dollar cost averaging, which is exactly what i've been doing, especially since the last two bull markets. It's still been great. I know a lot of individuals who have tried to time the market, some of them it has not gone well.

Some people have lost a lot of money. Uh generally, you would stay safe. Looking long-term with a lot of these crypto projects and we'll use uh tara luna, just as an example, because it has been talked about a lot, we did mention today's video in the last all time since the crypto started to boom back in 2021, you'd be up A significant amount on your investment now just to wrap this video up. Taking a look at d5 llama, we are getting a little bit less volume going to the total value locked across a lot of these layers, and if we do actually take a look at the current number, we are sitting at 202 billion dollars at the time of Filming this video, this does look like it is reflecting a bit within the markets.

We haven't seen another all-time high that we did have back in december and i hope we do get to that point, because if we do all coins are all going to be hitting some new all-time highs, and that is when things are going to get juicy, especially With the mid cap and high caps, which are what we're looking at right now in this play, when money does start flowing out of bitcoin ethereum going from high cap mid caps, then the play is where i believe micro caps. You can start adding in. But if you do have plans to go long and you can take volatility, a lot of the micro caps are still flattened out on the bottom, meaning you're getting some of the best entry points even right now, and i think there is no issue or problem in Looking at those as viable investments during this time, just don't make sure you're yoloing your entire children's savings that they need next year for college. Just make sure that you are leveling yourself out and you're able to invest on money that you don't expect to see back with that.

It's going to lessen the emotions a bit and it's going to help you significantly as an investor long term. One more article that i wanted to mention was this: a16z is actually going ahead and investing 70 million dollars in ethereum staking provider, lido, finance, lido, uh, venture capitalist, firm anderson horowitz is what a16z is and if you didn't know, they are one of the more reputable Vc firms in the industry and just seeing that they are willing to invest even more additional money during this time into ethereum before they do make ways with its uh proof of stake upgrade. It is just showing us how bullish it is, and i do think while ethereum is getting slept on. We are gon na see another pop at some point this year, so that with that being said, i don't know if ethereum is gon na, give you better gains than most all coins in the market.

I think there's still a higher upside with a lot of these other projects compared to ethereum, and that is why we're focusing on many of the high caps here, because it just takes a few where, if you get lucky with one, you can still have an amazing Year with your investment now to wrap this up guys, i remember seeing the donor - i didn't forget kda, let's see where it's at right now: 6.90, if you're members of the jungle uh, you will know that i do have some positions within this crypto as well. Right now, even during this time, we haven't been getting that huge pump that we've seen earlier this year. This is one of the cryptos, where i think it's more of a long-term play indefinitely, uh even right now, because most all coins are down because bitcoin is still stabilizing rather flat. When we do get pumps, it looks like it happens within waves, and what usually happens is when certain all coins get picked up.

They have that momentum. It ends up going extremely high in price, just because we have heard mentality with a lot of investors and a lot of whether it's trading, bots or whales, making the moves and decisions anytime. We have all coins that had a huge spike. It shows us one.

The potential that it could have had before in the past and something else the potential that we could experience later in the future, even right now, with the price point of 6.93 you're, getting better entries that you could have had uh before it's previous run up. So you know this is a crypto that that i had added to my list. I think it's just gon na be based on some of the news or partnerships that they have lined up in order to get a gauge on the price action we can see. Next now, let's see oh, i appreciate that.

Thank you guys. Thank you. Thank you, nate. What the heck, nato brian, what are some good ap, stable, apy options? Well nate, if you're still in here shout out to my man's anchor.

This is something we mentioned a little bit earlier. They are crushing it right now. Anc gained 23 over the last 24 hours and it looks like i think luna is still going to be on top of that and anchors uh pretty high on that list. We are coming out with a new video.

Soon it's going to be top three crypto passive income strategies. The main ones is going to be crypto lending staking and then the interest yielding accounts that you can get from. Well, you can't get from block fight anymore, but from other companies that exist right now in there we'll be breaking down how you can earn yield so say, you're up, maybe 10 15 in the market. You're scared of what's gon na happen.

Next, you can put your crypto into stable coin and still be earning interest throughout this whole year and you'd be surprised on how much money that you can actually make back, humphrey and nate in here the whole gang you guys need to get on the live stream. I need to send you guys an invite you guys want to come on. Let me know miss the boys miss the boys. I am planning to have a few trips in the near future.

Let me pull up my trip list guys, so if any of you guys are going to be taking any conferences or anything like that, um, hopefully hopefully i run into uh some of my youtube subscribers. Let me pull this up. I think i will be at bitcoin conference. I don't know if i'm gon na attend that actual conference, because, to be honest, it wasn't really much of value.

When i went last year it was okay um they did hook us up with the ticket, so i'm not gon na like bash them too much, but i'm not planning to. I wouldn't buy a ticket for bitcoin conference. That's what i'll say if they hook me up with it, i'm gon na go through and i'm enjoy it uh, but i think the more valuable conferences is gon na be like permissionless consensus. This is where the big boys are at bitcoin is bitcoin right.

They don't allow for other all coin projects, uh to really be there and even a lot of our partners that i work with exchanges like you know, i'm not gon na name. You all know my exchange partners that i work with no one's really that stoked about it, but i think people are more excited for the fact that miami is going to be a fun trip. So yeah humphrey says my stream setup isn't ready right now. Next time, we'll do it next time all right guys? Well, listen.
