So last night we went ahead and saw dogecoin having a pretty surprising pop in the market. This was because elon musk went ahead and announced that tesla would be accepting dogecoin as payment. Now, if you had told me this about a year ago, i definitely would not have believed you. I would not say that this would ever be a type of phenomenon.

We would experience uh in the most recent years, but it has happened. It happened out of the blue, so this resulted in dogecoin having that little bit of a pop, and this kind of got me thinking. Well, what happened with all of those meme coins? What happened to that madness of shiba inu? Where are those uh newer, crypto investors? Who are so passionate about a lot of these meme coins since they were having its run earlier last year, so in this video? What i want to do is actually take a review of what we experienced back in 2021. Why meme coins went ahead and popped and what we can expect to happen for the year of 2022.

if there are opportunities in meme coins? Obviously, this is a time that you would want to load up on now, but on the contrary of that there may be other things formulating. So, as an investor, it's definitely important for you to be prepared, that's what it's all about in the crypto space, it's being on top of the trends just one step behind it, and usually you can find yourself making some pretty decent profit.

So with all that being said, you guys first of all the global crypto market cap for today sitting at 2.06 trillion dollars we're getting about a 1.87 increase over the last day, seeing a little bit less volume in the market overall, in a day like this today, But we are still seeing some green so woke up to some green holding a little bit of that green, and that is because bitcoin is currently sitting at forty three thousand one hundred twenty one dollars. Looking at the five day moving average, it looks like we are three percent above that price and we are not too far down below from that 20-day moving average, which is an important level for us to cross just so, we can maintain that bullish pattern.

Real quick, taking a look at the crypto fear and greed index. Today, it's going to reflect extremely fearful with the 21 on the barometer where last week we did see an average of 18. going into the top 24 coins. I did also fix my coin market up.

Never mind filter market cap 1 billion. Let's do infinite there. We go all right. So taking a look at the top 24 hour gainers, we have dcr up 29.

In the single day we have secret up. 16 rose up 13 ftt or ftx token up. Eight percent polka dot up six percent ave still doing its thing up six percent this week, while we have dogecoin which had popped, it is up 18 in the last seven days and up about 5.78. For the day this actually came after we saw a pop of dogecoin returning back and breaking past that 20 cent level.

So we actually haven't seen this happen in a long time, dogecoin had its huge massive snl hype before it completely got dumped. We did not see the effects of dogecoin going to the moon and hitting that one dollar, like many people, were anticipating back. Even then, if you guys were following along on this channel, i had mentioned that the exit, at least within our discord group - i did mention on youtube too, that the exit that i would consider leaving would be 70 cents. So we got very very close to that and on different exchanges we actually did see 70 cents getting passed so, as you guys can see, that was the market top well brian.

How did you know that 70 cents would be the previous market top? I didn't, but the wenis knew the weenus was speaking to me. It was pulsing and it said 70 cents seem like a high level. So what is the weiness telling us now well going into the last seven days? Obviously you are seeing a little bit of green in the market when it comes to this meme coin right here, but does this mean? Does this mean that we could ever return back to level? Something like this? Could that one guy, you know the one guy dogecoin millionaire, i think that was his name. Is he gon na be relevant again? Is he gon na come back to youtube? Are we gon na see shiba inu pop off again, that's exactly what i wanted to cover in this video right here.

So, let's start with this dogecoin last night, it popped. Why well we talked about it earlier elon musk went ahead and said you can buy merch bible with a coin. If i go onto tesla.com, you can see the cyber whistle right here selling for 300 doge. You can actually go ahead and buy this off ebay now and stockx.

Many people are flipping it like most people do. This is pretty cool. I actually wanted to buy this by the time i checked it out after one of our discord, members had alerted us uh. It was sold out, couldn't get it, but maybe next time there's an article here that was posted a few weeks back over on binance.

Just talking about the meme coin mania, some of the reflections that we have now, obviously the main two were shiba inu and dogecoin shiba inu went ahead and overtook dogecoin by a significant amount. If you guys do remember looking at the coin market cap shiba inu, it was actually riding really high. It was surpassing a lot of the top cryptos and it was blowing everyone's mind now it is listed still at number 14, which is pretty nuts. In my opinion, only because it is still surpassing a lot of cryptocurrencies, a lot of layer ones that do have solid fundamental, solid utility.

But if you take a look at the last one year, i mean this was the mountain of hype that we had. A lot of people were buying in. We had a little bit of another spike again but uh at a certain point. You have to realize, especially with meme coins, if a lot of this money, if a lot of the positions that are getting held right now, are coming from retail investors, which a majority of it are.

So we take a look at some on-chain analysis. Getting a better look at this pie chart right here, which is telling us the top 100 holders of this crypto. You also have to realize these big pies. A lot of these are actually exchanges within these exchanges are going to be millions of people who did decide to end up buying some shiba.

So personally, in my life, not my crypto community, but like friends that i had growing up, almost everyone seemed to have bought into these meme coins. They were telling their parents their friends, their cousins, their co-workers, hey man. You should just put a hundred dollars into here, while it was having that enormous amount of hype, because a lot of people thought it was going up. So when it comes to moments like this, you have to realize that there is always a level of support.

That is really hard to breach people who are down eighty percent on their investment oftentimes. Don't even care to sell it. If you put a hundred dollars in and it's only 20 left a lot of people just say you know what screw it. It's only 20 in there.

Why sell it when a mass majority of people have that mindset oftentimes? What you see is just stabilization, just seeing prices uh holding within a certain channel and that's what we've been having with shiba inu, while the entire crypto market was still lifting off now. I do also have to say that i have not been looking into any updates that this team may have. They may have started an additional burning process. They may actually have a more extensive road map.

I've been out of the meme coin craze, especially once uh everything started to die down, but going back into the purpose of this video to just keep us on track on what the learning lessons are. Why did meme coins blow up last year? What actually happened so you're actually asking the right person inverse, went ahead and wrote a full article on me and just a few other youtubers who are ahead of the entire meme stock craze, which actually was the origins before uh the meme cryptocurrencies started to pop off. As well all right so scrolling down, we have my boy matt corz on here. We got me on here and where's this little article, okay, here's one of my live streams that we had some of our live streams, guys it was doing crazy.

I remember we were getting at one consecutive moment. We had 30 000 live viewers, there's a lot of pressure on me. I've never experienced anything like that and i just remember the mentality that the people had. I just remember seeing how much search volume we had during that time and pretty much what ended up happening was everyone who got into the meme stock craze went over and started to put their money into cryptocurrency, so the next meme cryptocurrency.

While i was doing these live streams was dogecoin. I remember starting to see dogecoin like pop up when amc, gm and a lot of these stocks weren't moving. So a lot of this was happening about a year ago. From today it was january going into february.

We had the hype died down, and then we had that actual dogecoin craze popping off now. Looking at google trends. Obviously this is completely flat right now, even with the little pop in price we have comparatively to the entire market. It isn't anything crazy.

Dogecoin is up. Six percent today, while we're still seeing that number reflect amongst the most cryptocurrencies on the board. Now, shortly after the whole amc wall, street bets saga and the dogecoin die down, we then remember het shiba inu, so this started to pop off in what quarter? Three going to quarter four going into november and a ton of people are just riding the crypto wave now this actually followed alongside the same cycle of bitcoin, all right so to simplify the timeline of what's happened because in the past one year a lot has definitely Happened, especially within the crypto scene, so the first run-up that we had with bitcoin uh within one of these channels is actually once we saw uh dogecoin starting to lift back up too now, shiba inu. This was, i would say, the second cycle going into the end of october, where we actually had bitcoin having its additional ride up right here.

That's when sheba wanted to take that lift off as well. Now, since shiba inu has flattened down, we've seen bitcoin coming down together in price as well, so looking at both of these charts, it kind of looks like there is a correlation, especially within the last few months, but i do also want to let you guys know That meme coins are highly dependent on the hype. It's dependent on other individuals, other retail investors, whales trying to get in on the action and telling people. This is where the money is going to be at moving into the year of 2022.

The biggest comparison i can make is that retail investors are much more educated in the space than they were when we had the first ride up and the bitcoin price moving parabolic a little bit more education and foresight just going into the market. I do believe this is going to show a lot more investors, the way of getting into other alternative assets that have proven utility in the space. Now this doesn't mean that meme coins are going to be completely dead. We may have another pop later on in this year, but for me personally, i have zero interest still in wanting to have any positions loaded up in a cryptocurrency like this, like i've mentioned in my last few videos.

I strongly believe that this is gon na be year, where all the innovation occurs, where crypto gaming metaverse the layer, 1 solutions and alternative assets within crypto like nfts dows web 3's. That's where we're going to see a lot of that money taking off just like what we've seen in terms of the evolution of the web, we've also been seeing the evolution of the cryptocurrency market happening right before our eyes. So first we had bitcoin bitcoin was payment. It was democratizing the way we could send money to each other without having a central entity right after that.

We went ahead and saw the developments of d ethereum projects ethereum taking off going to the moon as well, and we saw other layers building. On top of that within d5, this is where we began to see that huge transition coming from traditional finance sectors. This was the alternative solution that many people are looking for in terms of transparent, open and secure ways of creating additional income. Finding ways to loan out their income yield farm find interest stake, you name it now, once d5 was a hit and people saw the utility behind that.

Naturally, we did begin to see the nft market taking off so currency defy nft, then slowly going into what we assume next is the metaverse or any crypto games so trying to put a lot of these thoughts that i'm saying into an imagery. I went ahead and did some research and found the idea of the four types of innovation that happened in a business. So i want to compare this to what we've seen in crypto in the most recent years, uh on this y-axis. We have complexity and then on this x-axis we have existing markets.

So obviously we started with incremental innovation bitcoin. It was so speculative in the beginning. Uh people didn't want to buy it and if people did want to buy, they just weren't sure where it was going. It was still a huge risky bet in the beginning of time and then once we began to see that traction lifting off, like i mentioned that's when we had d5 completely turning over the space, then, moreover, in the architectural innovation is when we began to see art Uh we began to see those nfts, we began to see real utility and then a lot of the celebrities and groups and institutions now pouring their backing into this different space.

Now, what's after, this is what we believe is going to be the radical innovation, and this is why i believe this is going to be so so monumental to the growth. Now, i'm not sure if the size proportions of this chart is relative to the increase in roi. We would see. But if you just take a look at the big circle compared to the incremental of the radical i mean if we do get the same roi of what we saw with bitcoin, you know having its liftoff starting from the price that it came out when it released To where it's at now 40, some thousand dollars, if we have that type of roi experience in the radical innovation sector, which many analysts are predicting to do, we're expected to see not billions but trillions of dollars, flooding into this market of metaverse and the next web 3 components: it's not just individuals, it's not just whales, but it's a lot of vc firms.

It's a lot of large companies just like facebook, so for the year 2022. Here is what i'm doing. I think any low cap meme coin, that you put your investment into. It's going to be you either never see that money again or you could experience a pop which could be pretty unlikely.

Now that doesn't mean your chances of making huge returns is completely zero, but i do know many more people who got burned in the market than a lot of those winners that we've seen turn into uh six figure, heirs or millionaires, just by investing into the right Token, and not knowing what's going to happen next, you also have to keep in mind that there is biased in the crypto market, meaning a lot of people who talk about their success are going to want to talk about it more if they are making money, but All the people that have flat portfolios or have no money or have lost significant amounts of money, they're not going to be tweeting about that making videos about that on the internet and telling their the entire world like hey, it's a flex because i lost like you Know fifty thousand dollars in the market - that's not usually the case. So if you have this biased understanding that everyone was making money with shiba inu, that's not often the case, it actually turns out that a lot more individuals did lose money from those meme coins, and a lot of them are still ended up holding the bag. For me personally, i'm not placing any additional bets into cryptocurrencies like that, i'm still focusing on the ones that provide utility, i'm focusing on the ones that the vc institutions are continuing to back in, because if we do experience any type of winter, no matter how cold It is maybe it's banff, canada cold. We will still be around because they have that money to keep those projects going until we get another lift in the market.

With that being said, let's wrap up this video three reasons to invest into the crypto for 2022. Here it is, i'm gon na mention this so much of my videos, because this is a concept that you have to get through your head, but the utility of crypto is here and it's here to stay. We are getting more and more companies just like samsung, who recently bought into land into the metaverse. We saw adidas buying land into decentraland, also known as the metaverse, and we're getting more and more companies loading up those positions finding out different ways where they can utilize nfts, give back to the people and also develop and expand their territory in the internet.

Number. Two, a lot of the major cryptocurrencies that are around are just still increasing in market cap. Why is that important? Well, the more money you have in a certain asset, assuming that it's not futures, it's not derivatives or it's not off leverage. If it's your money that you're putting into the market you're in pretty good hands, if you get a lot of investors who are putting their bag in realizing, hey, no matter what happens in the market, i'm not gon na.

Take it out for the next five to ten years that right there is showing the solid foundation and support that we need and to continue growing the entire market cap of the crypto world now. The third reason why i choose the crypto investing space is simply in terms of roi. If we talk about risk versus reward, you can continue to put your money into alternative assets. Savings account where you'll literally lose money based off inflation rates.

We saw, or you could put your money into the s p y, the vu the the index of your choice, any stock that you have, but the roi, in my opinion, is not going to be there compared to. If we see crypto lifting off and taking up again now for me, my investing portfolio is much different than many other people, even other people on youtube. Most people tend to be more traditional. More on the safe side, i like to see my age, i'm relatively young, and i have a higher risk tolerance.

I don't have mouths to feed it's just me out here and knowing that if i can go ahead and possibly make a 10 to 100x in this industry versus just playing it safe and making, maybe like 20 or 12 back on my return in the stock market. That is a risk that i'm willing to take with that risk in mind. You do have to realize if everything comes down crashing and burning, if we do enter a crypto winter, the question you should be asking yourself as an investor is: are you going to be? Okay, are you gon na be okay not having access to that money for a few years? Are you okay? If you saw your portfolio tank 80 right now, if you're not, you may want to consider taking those profits off with a lot of the all coins that are riding up in the market. Now you should still be in the green, depending on what your cost basis was, but at least for me and my portfolio right now, i'm still very well in the green, with a majority of my picks, there's always going to be a possibility for any markets to Crash that is the purpose of investing you invest into the market when people are speculative, you go through the ups and downs, but my skin on the elbow is telling me brian.

This may not be such a bad year at all, but what you have to do is to at least be prepared. You have to be prepared for both scenarios and, if you think you can't handle the darkest grimmest situation, then make sure you take the extra precautions right now as an investor. There is nothing wrong with having money on the sideline. Yeah.

Inflation is eating things up, but it's better than taking a huge loss in the market. For me, personally, i think - and this is what i said earlier in january, which has still been playing out - we're going to be consolidating we're going to be consolidating within channel. We may go back up to 44 45 000. Then we're going to have that correction like we usually do.

We may have another dip in the market where we go under forty thousand dollars, but i just see us consolidating, within this channel at least going into the next quarter, uh, just until we get some more stability coming from central bank policy, central bank policy. I almost said central bank anyways with that being said, there are different moves that you can also make as well. If you are more confident in the crypto market, you can double down. If you aren't - and you want to be more diversified, there are different stocks or hedges that you can take place right now, so in case the market goes down.

You have another asset that goes up that can actually level out your gains. The importance and the big lesson and the takeaway for all this is to make sure that you are diversified, no matter what you are depending on what market you're in make sure you're diversified. Now for me, as an individual, i'm not just crypto. I recently invested into a restaurant last year, one of the best decisions i've made.

I never thought i would be in the food industry uh all my friends who own restaurants, tell me brian never invest in a restaurant, but i'm all about that that i'm all about that diversity. Aside from restaurant, there are other assets, uh real estate, homes, commercial, real estate, even different things, like watches as an example, these all can go up tremendously in value, be a hedge against a different market, and if we do have a great reset or anything else happening, You know that you are still covered now, although i can't predict the future, which i wish i could. I wish i could have my little genie ball or like the same thumbnail. I've been using for the last year that little moon globe thing.

I wish i could look into that and see what happens in a year from now, but i can't i don't know what the glow ball thumbnail thingy is telling me, but i'll tell you this, regardless of the situation, just stay prepared, make sure you have contingencies. If you have one source of income, make sure you spread that out. If you have one job right now and you don't know if it's going to be existent in the market or you want another opportunity to grow, pick up, a skill learn something else where you can provide that value and then expand when it comes to investing into The crypto market, it's more than just investing into the crypto market, it's all about what you do as an individual, it's all about knowing exactly what you can tolerate and then from there it's all about taking the steps and the actions to make sure you stay on Top of things now, ladies and gents, that is the video for tonight. I hope you guys are gon na have an amazing weekend.

So far got another day in the life video coming out and it's gon na be pretty interesting. You guys can.
