Cheers everybody a good old, old-fashioned um for you, sick people out there who are trying to poison me with everclear. Unfortunately, the store did not have any, so we actually tried to get some that one won the vote. That would have been rough, but you know i know bryce and my brother yesterday kind of planted the seed, but it didn't happen. We tried to do it.

Second vote was old-fashioned, which is you know, just a great drink, so cheers to you, classy people who voted for that. One we're gon na get into stocks. It's friday. I don't wan na waste too much of your time.

You know whether you're studying enjoying life with your family, like there should be some balance out there, so we're just going to really get into it and talk about what i'm seeing in the market right now. I did not trade this morning at all, but if you remember, i think it was literally a week ago, last friday or last thursday. I can't remember the exact date, but within the last seven small cap recaps, there was a day where cbtc was up and i was talking about the screen. It was running in like real time and i was like it's because bitcoin's running it did nothing all day and then that last 30 minutes it ran like 70 or something it was awesome.

I i want to say it was a friday, so maybe it was two weekends ago time's fine and then it gapped up monday and continued to run ended up running like 200 or something crazy um. So i learned from that experience. I didn't take the trade, for whatever reason i just didn't. I was scared nervous.

I i don't know i didn't take the trade, but i saw it happen and today bitcoin took off right now when we're recording this, it's not like. 62. 000.. I think that, like 61 800, that's bananas, considering like three months ago, it looked like it, was about to fall off a cliff and die, and no one was ever going to talk about it again.

Now it's back to new all, not all-time highs, very close to all-time highs. There was some news about the bitcoin etfs facing no opposition from the sec. Finally um, if any of you have followed me, i talked about this a lot in june right june 17th. Was the date where they were originally supposed to make a decision about the bitcoin etf? It was delayed uh, which you know is basically like a non-event, not good, not bad.

Well, now, there's a bunch of news out um that there's going to be no opposition for when they vote on that again, i actually saw a couple tweets um talking about how certain etfs were already approved, so i got to validate all that, but bitcoin is going Bonkers it's at 62 000.. It is shaping up for an absolutely wild fall, so i trade crypto a lot we'll include actually a link below to um. You know i got a crypto bootcamp. I did with kyle williams, uh and also crypto rockets.

This community. We talk about the trades i take in crypto. I won't do that here. I will focus on the stock market and the otc bitcoin plays that i played today, but just want to be aware of it check it out.

If you want. Let's pull up the screen here um. So, as i was saying, i didn't trade most of the day because i'll try to pull up the exact date it was. It was telling it was in the last 15 days.

Let it load it was this day, the fifth. So yeah a little while ago, it basically grinded up bitcoin was going bonkers and then it went crazy and then continued its morning spike before it pulled back. So i've been watching these stocks since that day and that's kind of the vibe i was expecting there wasn't gon na be much and then there's gon na be a lot of speculation and excitement going into the close um. As you can see here, i actually ended up.

I was a part of this right here over this one cent, uh breakout right here um. This was at 1, 35 eastern time i bought some shares of cbtc bought some shares at the exact same time of dig af uh. This one actually is a lot cleaner in my opinion, because of the breakout so pulling up a daily um same sort of vibe. This one just had lower volume, but i was part of this right here.

This breakout and then it grinded up. I tried to sell a little bit into clothes, didn't get much filled um i locked in actually probably about half, but i'm swinging a solid portion. I tried locking it on just there wasn't enough volume, then we have btcs uh. This is like some solid sector momentum that we're seeing and it's because bitcoin is near all-time highs.

So all things considered i locked in like 4k today um i got about 4k unrealized in swings, i'm basically risking break even on that remaining position. Uh because i didn't get filled. I didn't want to swing it over the weekend because now i'm basically betting on bitcoin and while bitcoin is very strong, like it is overextended. In my opinion, it needs to breathe before it just breaks all-time highs.

Granted i said that when bitcoin was at like 20k about a year ago at this time - and i think it was like december - maybe i was like - oh, it needs to breathe a little bit and then it just shot to like 60k over the next. Like three months, so you know bitcoin's gon na do what bitcoin wants now that it's opened the door for a lot of etfs new investors. People have easy access. Hedge funds can really be involved a lot more now.

It's gon na be big um and these bitcoin otcs. If we'll pull up the screen like i'm, not the biggest fan of them, because they're very inefficient, meaning like bitcoins at basically all-time highs and look at how much this has gone. Absolutely clobbered and i would be very shocked if this ran up to four cents again. Um people just use them to basically speculate because it's easier for them to speculate on the stock they can buy in their average brokerage account than it is to buy um.

Just like on coinbase or in any other wallet also with coinbase the nft news, i'm not sure how much you guys follow it crazy, they're up to like 1.7 million people who are signed up for their nft platform. So nfts, like i thought, peaked, but i we could just be seeing the madness like that's a space. I'm definitely like super interested in, but it's very high risk very, like high reward. There's a lot of garbage out there.

I mean it's like penny stocks, so you guys are watching here. So i'm going to continue to monitor this going to continue to monitor crypto, if you're interested in that hop in the community, we'll again include that link below uh, but thank you for watching um cheers to all you.
