In this episode, I welcome back our resident Crypto Psychic, Marisa Lee, for a candid, fast-moving conversation on the latest crypto crash, why it happened, and what she’s sensing is next. We unpack the market’s sharp drop following the tariff headlines on China, the cascade effect on leverage traders, and why she believes the dip is a setup for a strong bull run as we head into November.
We get into practical portfolio thinking—where stablecoins fit (and don’t), why she’s pounding the table on Algorand, Cardano, and OriginTrail, what to expect from Bitcoin and XRP into 2025–2026, and how ETFs and broader adoption may act as catalysts. We also talk payments innovation (Stripe’s Tempo L1), Japan’s yen-pegged stablecoin plans, long-term cryptos to dollar-cost average into, and the broader macro noise—taxes, policy, and world events—impacting investor confidence. Bottom line: hold the line, be patient, and prepare a plan for rapid decisions when the next leg up hits.

Great to see you too, Joe. You too, Joe. What's cooking? I got your message, by the way. Yeah. You know, the the, I'm trying something new with, the StreamYard, so I'm I'm running the audio through StreamYard instead of the mixing board to take a look at that warbling effect. So I wasn't sure about how the levels were gonna be. So I think I gotta correct it now. But, So so every time I talk, I hear an echo echo. Oh, do you? Okay. Let me fix it. Yeah. Yeah. Take care of that for you.
That should do it. Okay. Better? Oh, that's yes. Totally better. Thank you. No problem. See, what I do is when I don't have a guest on the show, I switch it to the stereo audio, which takes away the echo cancellation, and then when we have somebody on the show, I forget to switch back sometimes. So this is the problem when you are a one man operation running all the tech stuff plus the content, and have to do all of these things by yourself. That's that's the the problem with it. Although, I did learn, by the way, that you what we can do here with StreamYard is I could actually have somebody, connect remotely and actually run all this stuff for me while I'm doing the show, this way I don't have to worry about all that technical stuff. So that's that's Nice. Should be as soon as I find somebody that I could trust to do that, then we'll do that.
Yeah. Right. Not only not only trust, but but who has the time to do it, to to be able to sit on the show with me, as often as we do shows. But so what's going on with you? What's new?
[00:09:48] Unknown:
I'm just busy busy, you know, and we recently had this big crypto crash. So, yeah, I've been just trying to send out a positive message to everybody and reassure them that it's not gonna last long. This is a great time to buy. And I know I keep saying that I feel like I'm just, like, on repeat every single month. This is a great time to buy. The bull runs coming. I really feel like it's coming very, very soon. It's gonna come before the end of the year. That's that's just gonna happen. So this is just a matter of being patient and, you know, when it comes, it's gonna be really, really good. I feel like the longer we wait, the better it's gonna be. So, there's something in the works. And right now, there's so much going on within the government, and it's just chaos. Right? We've got a government shutdown right now.
Props to president Trump for stopping that war with Hamas. That was great. Although, you know, that's not gonna come without issues in the future, though, I think. Of course. So let's talk about the crypto crash. I wanna talk about what happened because I've had a chance to, like, really absorb that a little bit more. So I'll tell you my personal experience with this. This is nuts. I was sitting at my kitchen table, and all of a sudden, my phone, like, just exploded. Like, it didn't stop ringing. I got a million text messages all at once, and then I got, like, all these notifications on alerts that I have set for crypto when it goes up or down. You know? And so I've never seen my phone do that before. That was it was crazy. So I'm like, okay. Something is going on. I need to stop what I'm doing and take a look at this. And so I saw the market took a big tank, and I was like, woah. What's going on? So I did a quick Google search, and I saw that Trump announced a 100% tariffs on China.
And so I threw on some makeup, and I made a quick video, and I just reassured everybody, you know, everything's gonna be be okay. Because I knew that this this would pass. This wasn't gonna be, like, a permanent thing. So, intuitively, I didn't even wanna do any more research. I wanted to just tap into it intuitively. And I used to work for a customs broker. And for those of you that don't know what a customs broker is, they file the paperwork, the legal paperwork required for importers to import freight. So when these big containers come in, you know, it has to pass through customs, and so we would file the paperwork. So I'm I'm very well aware of how tariffs work.
And I was like, why would tariffs on imported freight affect the crypto market so drastically? Right? And I I knew Trump was having a tiff with China because that's when he always, you know, increases the tariffs. And I thought to myself, China must have sold everything, all their digital assets. But I also know that it's illegal to own it, digital assets in China. They banned it years ago. That doesn't mean the government doesn't have digital assets. Right? So,
[00:12:31] Unknown:
one thing about communist governments is, you know, communism
[00:12:34] Unknown:
is good for me good good for the, but doesn't apply to me. So Oh, yeah. No. For sure. For sure. So I knew president Chi would be pretty upset about the tariffs, and I felt like there was a big sell off. Okay? And so then I did a little bit of research after I got that message, and I saw a bunch of news articles saying, oh, yeah. China got rid of all their digital assets, and they bought silver and gold. And I'm like, okay. That makes sense. So the next day, I make a video about it, And the market just keeps going down and down and down and down. And as the day progressed, more happened. You know, a lot of people pulled out of the crypto market, and then they got rid of the leverage traders. Okay? People that are to me, leverage trading is gambling.
You're you're investing with money that you don't have, so they wiped them out. There was, like, $20,000,000,000 right there. So it was just a series of trickle down events that reacted to this tariff announcement. And I I just kinda feel, like, a little bit frustrated that a tariff announcement would do this to the crypto market. I mean, it just kinda goes to show you how fragile it is. We still are very much in the beginning stages of this. So my advice to everybody has just been just, yeah, take advantage of these discounted prices for now. I I really feel like the bold run is coming very, very, very, very, very soon. There's gonna be a big shift. Mhmm. So just hang in there. I I feel like it's gonna happen some maybe either the October into November or, you know, or sometime just in November. I feel like November historically in the crypto market has always been a good month for the most part. So as we approach November, I have a lot of hope. I'm putting out a lot of positive energy. I felt the bull run coming for so long, and I feel like the longer we wait, the better it's gonna be for whatever reason. That's just the intuitive message that I'm getting.
[00:14:21] Unknown:
Now do you think it's necessary, though, that we have a correction like this, well, a dip like this in order to have the correction for the bull run to start in November?
[00:14:29] Unknown:
Well and and there's that too. There's they always crash the market before the bull run comes. That's what they did in November 2021. So, I mean, to me, it was a positive sign that the bull run's coming, and then we got November. So I'm like, okay. I'm really hopeful. I I I I really am. I think that we're gonna make a lot of money soon. But here's the thing. When the bull run comes, if you don't make moves, it's gonna go away. Right? Like, it's not gonna be a bull run, you know, until, you know, December, January. It's it's gonna be a big shot up and a big shot down.
[00:14:58] Unknown:
Alright. Alright. Now what do you what what could we do to hedge up our our, portfolios? Do you think buying gold or silver would be a good thing to do? It's not a bad idea. It's gonna continue to go up.
[00:15:10] Unknown:
Historically, you know, it's always increased in value year after year. You know? I don't do any kind of trading with gold and silver, like, on a regular basis. Some people are like, oh, should I sell it at this price? Should I buy it at this price? And I'm just like, I would if I if you're gonna buy gold or silver, just hold on to it long term. You know? That's personally, you know, what I do. And I'm not an expert in the gold and silver market. But, yeah, I I do think that it's gonna significantly increase in value.
[00:15:39] Unknown:
Alright. What do you think it's gonna what do you think the, crypto market's gonna look like coming up in in, '26? Because, like, you know, we got a lot of we got some bumpy roads this year. We had some good highs. We got some really low valleys. What do you what's, 2026 looking like for you?
[00:15:55] Unknown:
I think it's gonna start out strong. I I have a good feeling about that. And then we're gonna have a big correction again. And, you know, there are people that like to control the market with billions of dollars, access to billions of dollars, whether it's through them or their friends or whatnot, and they like to control the market. They're gonna try to take away anybody's confidence in the crypto market because our confidence will be restored with the bull run, and, more people are gonna jump in. So it's gonna start sustaining at higher levels, but at the same time, there's still gonna be some very significant pullbacks in 2026. However, I'm I feel like by the 2026, we're gonna we're gonna see some really good changes. I I do.
More adaption.
[00:16:39] Unknown:
Yeah. I I know this isn't we didn't really we we talk before the show sometimes, and we kinda go over some of the things that we're gonna talk about. But, one thing that came to mind, I was looking at the price of ALGO, and I'm I'm watching ALGO go up and down, like, peak and valley, like, big time. Do you think, do you think ALGO has better days ahead?
[00:16:58] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This is money. This is an opportunity. If you look at it at it as anything other than an opportunity, you're looking at it wrong. I haven't been able to buy Algorand in the 17¢ range since April, and it didn't stay like that for long. So, yeah. No. Buy some Algo. That is my personal opinion, not financial advice, of course. Yes. I have bought more Algo, and I am continuing to stock up. You're not gonna go wrong with it. That's just intuitively, that's the feel that I get, especially if you're a long term holder. And it's gonna run during this bull run, so, it's some fast cash.
[00:17:35] Unknown:
And, I also noticed that XRP was it XRP that that that took kind of a kind of a hit also, Went down significantly. And, what do you think about what what's your what's your gut on this one?
[00:17:47] Unknown:
So if you look at where we were at with XRP exactly a year ago today, we were in the 50¢ range, Joe. Think about that. Okay. So what's XRP at today? Today, it's at $2.35. It's still a good buy in my opinion. I mean, it's never gonna go down to the 50¢ range ever again. So, anything under $3 for me, XRP, would be a buy. I'm not personally stocking up on it. I I am kinda stacking up on other coins that I think are gonna run a little bit higher. You know, XRP at 50¢ was, like, a huge, blessing to be able to get into, and a lot of people get into it. But then, you know, when people saw other people making money in XRP, they're like, oh, I wanna buy XRP. And so we have all of those investors now too. And XRP is gonna XRP is a good long term hold in my opinion. I I feel like we're gonna be in the $15 range by the 2026, maybe even up to $20 with it. So Really? Yeah. We're gonna see a big spike up. I've been feeling during a bull run, XRP is gonna hit at least $5. I've been saying that since May, and the bull run just never came. And I'm like, come on.
But I think by the end of the year, my original prediction was I think it was, like, the eight to eleven dollar range, and I still stick with that. I still feel like XRP is gonna go up significantly soon. So
[00:19:02] Unknown:
Well, from your mouth to God's ears, we hope. Because I I hope. Have a quite a bit of XRP. So I wanna Good. You know, I wanna I'm hoping that, we'll we'll see some good return on investment there. And, we were also talking a little bit about, ETFs. When do you think all these ETF, or all these crypto ETFs are gonna be approved?
[00:19:25] Unknown:
November. You know, I looked into this earlier in the year, and I felt like November was the time frame that it was gonna be approved. And what's interesting is we didn't know back then the government was gonna be shut down. The government shutdown is really halting a lot of stuff legally. So, you know, it has to go through an approval process, and that's just, like, not happening right now. And they're a little bit backlogged, but I feel really good about the that being approved in November. And, you know, that might just add to the bull run. You know? I I'm not exactly sure what chain of events in what order is going to happen that's gonna trigger the bull run, but I I'm feeling really good about November overall for the crypto market. So I hope so. I hope so. I'd like to make some more money. Be nice. Yeah. Yeah. Me too. Me too. I've been waiting. I'm like, oh god.
You know? I'm I'm trying that's I'm I'm trying to always put out a positive message to people because I know regardless of the exact time of when things start to manifest, I do know ultimately that it will manifest.
[00:20:27] Unknown:
Alright. Now just just for the sake of of reminding folks what what what exactly ETFs and what they're waiting for to be approved, can you explain that just a little bit?
[00:20:38] Unknown:
They're electronic filed wait. ETF funds. Electronic filed funds or something like that. It's basically, like, where you can take a whole bunch of you can buy it, like, through stocks and stuff like that. I'm not, like, a total expert on the ETF market, but I I just buy crypto directly. I don't really, you know, do it that way, but it just broadens the way that people can buy crypto. It's kinda just the way that I look at it, the simplified version.
[00:21:08] Unknown:
Alright. Well, I I was curious about that, and and I think you're right. I was I was trying to search here, but my my browser's just spinning at the moment, so hoping it's not affecting the stream, Internet issue. But, the, I I was just curious about what exactly that was because you hear about buying gold and silver through ETFs also, and it's I was just kinda, you know, wanted to clarify what it was and what was bringing to be approved on that one. And, and you're right. The government shutdown does affect a lot of this stuff. And, unfortunately, and and but you see, I say unfortunately, but I say it's kind of tongue in cheek because, honestly, the the longer the government is shut down, the less damage they can do. You know? So, I I don't really I don't really care, to be quite honest. Let let let it stay stay shut down. I think that'll just help people to to realize that, they need their state government more than they need the federal government and go to the state. And I think a lot of this stuff should be left to the states to take care of it. It shouldn't be centralized in a federal monstrosity
[00:22:06] Unknown:
in Washington, DC to to to regulate all this stuff. I think it should be done at the state level. This my opinion, I could be wrong. Drop a comment down below. Let me know. Well, it it also depends on what state you live in. Like, for me, where I live right now, I trust the federal government more than I do my state. I'll say that. That's scary. ETF. I know. It really is. It kinda makes me wanna move. An ETF exchange traded fund. Yeah. That's, like, when you can it's, like, through the stock market and stuff like that. Like, it's just a little bit more accessible to the average investor, to the average Joe.
[00:22:35] Unknown:
I hate those statements. I can't stop saying it. Sorry, Jim. Well, yeah, of course. Well, it's alright. That's okay. I don't mind. The, now, of course, you know, the bane of everybody's existence is taxes. Taxes, taxes, taxes. Everything is involved with taxes. I I was saying last night on the show that that, you know, it it's it's pathetic that I'm probably gonna end up having to go out and get another job just to pay taxes. Just think about that. Yeah. Just just Well, it's you and, you know Oh, I know I'm not alone. 70%
[00:23:09] Unknown:
of the country. I mean, they are just ridiculous, and Yeah. It's not getting better. So, you know, when Trump goes and he's like, oh, the economy is doing so well. I'm like, what are you talking about? And and listen, I do like him for crypto, and I do like what he's done for crypto. I love the peace that he's brought to the world in stopping all these wars. That's he's done a lot of good things. I I I'm not knocking any of that. But, like, when it comes to the economy, I'm like, really? There's so much more that needs to be done. This isn't perfect. It seems like the federal government has billions of dollars, but, you know, the average person is struggling still, and we are way,
[00:23:43] Unknown:
way overtaxed. So Oh, absolutely. And and what irritates me too is is is that, you know, we're the American people are struggling, and yet somehow, someway, despite the government being closed, we sent $40,000,000,000 to Argentina last week. $40,000,000,000 to our you know, how about you distribute some of that within The United States to the American people for debt relief? And I'm not talking about a check for $200. I'm talking about substantial relief. You know? Because the price You know, they they should just they should just cut the federal income tax significantly. It's ridiculous what those rates are. Like easily replace that with a sales a a a a federal sales tax or Yeah. Yeah. A fair tax or a flat tax or something like that, or a con or a consumption tax. You you know what I'm talking about because Yeah. Hey, look. You wanna talk about people pay paying their fair share, the wealthy don't pay their fair share. First of all, for the record, I don't fault someone for being wealthy.
You know, God bless them. You know, they made decisions. They made they took sacrifices and risk, whether it was somebody in their family down the road, and they've inherited this money down the line. Doesn't make a difference. They invested themselves, and they and they earned what they've gotten. That said, if you have a consumption tax, everybody has to buy stuff. Everybody has to pay the consumption tax. So if you wanna make sure the rich pay their fair share, well, what's the best way to do it? I'm not going out and buying a multimillion dollar yacht or a multimillion dollar home. Somebody who has the kind of money to do that can, and they'll end up paying the tax on that. And so they'll be paying into the system more than what they might already be. So that would make sense. It it because taxes are ridiculous. And one of the things that really irritate me about the taxes is that in here in Texas, we had the opportunity in the last session of the state house to eliminate property taxes here in Texas, and the so called Republican speaker of the Texas house didn't even allow it to come to the floor Wow. For discussion. Instead, they raised the taxes.
[00:25:55] Unknown:
That's crazy.
[00:25:56] Unknown:
It's absolutely ridiculous. And I don't know about anywhere else, but I know here you have to pay your city tax, your local tax, your state tax, your, on your property. I'm so I'm talking about, your school district tax. I don't even have kids in school. Yeah. And that's and and believe it or not, the school district tax is the highest tax that I have to pay Wow. Out of all of the other ones. That's the that's that's where the most of it goes. You guys don't have income tax, though, in Texas, do you? Right. Didn't they just get rid of property taxes in Florida? There I I don't know if they passed it yet or not. I know they were they were working on that. But, and then we have the hospital district tax and all these all these taxes. And I was actually looking at the breakdown of my of my, my mortgage payments, and the majority of my mortgage payment goes to taxes.
Like, seriously, like, it it's all and I have to now I'm getting aggravated.
[00:26:56] Unknown:
Yeah. No. No. Hey. Listen. I I get it. I get it. Totally get it. Well, you know, the good news is is I do think that there's gonna be significant changes in 2026 for all kinds of taxes. I think the crypto tax is gonna change in 2026.
[00:27:09] Unknown:
I don't Which is where we're going to.
[00:27:12] Unknown:
Yeah. I I'm not I'm not feeling that it's gonna happen in 2025. If it does happen in 2025, which I do hope it does, it might be a little bit, like, last minute kinda deal later in 2025, which we are kind of in, you know, the end of 2025 almost. But, 2026 is gonna be a significant tax change is is the feel that I'm getting. So That could be great. Kinda just need to hang in there and, you know
[00:27:37] Unknown:
whatever we can to get by. It's tough. But, hey, let's send another $40,000,000,000
[00:27:41] Unknown:
to some foreign country somewhere instead of, you know I know. I'm so sick of that. I am so sick of that. If it's not one thing, it's another. It's like, come on.
[00:27:50] Unknown:
I I get stuck on the taxes. I'm I'm sorry. So Oh, it's okay. I understand. It triggers you. I get it. Yeah. It's my that's my yeah. I'm gonna get I'm gonna put a flag up back here, something about taxes somewhere along the way. They don't tread on me thing. I don't know. We'll see. We shall see. I don't know. Is that flag still banned and illegal? Or or There's a banned flag? Well, yeah. Well, I don't know if they actually did it or not. But under the Biden administration, they were trying to ban the Gadsden flag, which is the coiled rattlesnake that says don't tread on me, which is one of the first two two flags of Yeah. The fledgling United States. The other one is the appeal to heaven, by the way, which I have tattooed on both shoulders. I have the don't tread on me on this side, the appeal to heaven flag on that side. So I love that. Yeah. So I I I might have a problem if it is banned, you know. I can't walk around without a shirt on. Right?
Yeah. Not that I do anyway because nobody wants to see my fat rolls, but, you know, it's it's what it is. Hey. So what do you think about Bitcoin? I I know Bitcoin's been on a roller coaster too. I mean, I mean, the whole crypto market's been up and down, but Yeah. Bitcoin popped out at it was over 120,000
[00:28:56] Unknown:
at one point, and now it's where is it now? It's, like, one ten or something like that? You know what? I think I was looking at it. I think it's at, like, $1.00 6 today. Let me hold on. Let me just yeah. $1.00 6. Don't worry about it. It'll recover. I I really feel and I've been saying for a while now. I feel like we're gonna hit the $1.50 mark in 2025 with Bitcoin. Could it end up being just a little bit under that? Sure. But I do feel like we're gonna we're still gonna hit a new all time high with Bitcoin coming up here before the end of the year, so I'm not worried about it. The thing is is I do think we're gonna have a big, big, big dip in 2026 at some point with Bitcoin where it goes under a $100,000 a coin. So, it's a good time to buy it. I I I'm not a big Bitcoin investor, but I do think if you're holding long term, if you're holding, you know, at least five years, Bitcoin is good to have in your portfolio.
But if you wanna make some fast cash, you go with, like, something like Algorand, say, I'm loving Origin Trail. Origin Trail. As the market goes down during this big crash, origin trail was going up. I'm like, that's been one of my, one of my top picks for the last year is origin trail. About that one. I you had mentioned it a couple of times before, so I'm gonna have to look it up after the show. I feel like they have private investors or something going on there where where they have negotiated some money going into their coin. And but, also, they're doing a lot of AI projects in all different sectors. So, I love OriginTrail short term and long term, so that's that's a good one to have.
[00:30:31] Unknown:
What do you think the, the total market caps can end up being in 2026?
[00:30:37] Unknown:
I'm feeling like 10,000,000,000,000. I know that sounds nuts. I feel like that is going to come during a bull run. Right? That doesn't mean it's gonna sustain it 10,000,000,000. Or, I'm sorry, 10,000,000,000,000. But, yeah, I'm feeling like we're gonna hit that 10 mark in 2026. So What's the market cap on it now? I think we're at 3,600,000,000,000.0 today. So here here's the here's something to look at too. If we look at where we were at the June, the June, the market cap for the crypto market wasn't even $3,000,000,000,000. So we're sitting at 3.6.
So we've made some progress even though the market's down. So when the market's down and you're still in somewhat of a green area, it's a good thing. It is. So we just have to be patient with it. It's growing slowly, but surely.
[00:31:27] Unknown:
We'll get there eventually, I think. I I I you know, it's, it's just it's just a crazy time right now. It it's Yeah. With, there's a lot of instability around the world. Even though, like like you said, you know, Donald Trump did has done greatly the peace president. You know, he's brought he's brought an end to eight conflicts around the world so far. He's working on number nine right now, with, with, Ukraine and, and Russia. And, I don't know. I think I think it might be close to getting that one settled too. I I Mhmm. Something in my gut tells me that, sometime probably before the end of next month, we'll we'll have an end to to that conflict, which is fine. And and, I I I it never should have started in the first place. I I I agree with him on that.
I I just wish that we weren't involved the way we were involved the way we are involved. You see, I get accused of being an isolationist. I'm not an isolationist. I'm I'm really not. I I believe what our founding generation said, you know, peace and commerce with all, entangling alliances with none. And I don't think that we should that that that's not an isolationist view. That's a non interventionist view. When and I think they're they're two very different things. So I agree that, you know, we we could be in agreement with trade and in peace, but we should not be part of things like NATO, we should not be part of things like, all these other organizations like the United Nations. We don't need to be part of any of these things. We can easily stand on our our own and have trade and do fine.
You know? We shouldn't be involved in all this stuff because look at the distraction that it is. Yeah. The things going on here at home. No. For sure. And, you know,
[00:33:10] Unknown:
I I talk about ego a lot, and there's a lot of people leading these countries with huge egos, huge egos. And when you're dealing with somebody that has a big ego, you know, are they gonna make the best decision? Mhmm. No. Probably not. It's gonna be like, oh, no. You insulted me. I'm gonna take you out. You know, you get a lot of that. And, you know, a lot of these guys that that, I'm not gonna mention names, but a lot of these guys that are presidents of countries and, you know, dictators or whatever, they're all short. They all got Napoleon syndrome. Seriously. They are. And, you know, there's these short little powerful guys that are just, like, all angry, and it's just like, come on, man. Like, just stop.
[00:33:51] Unknown:
Yeah. No. I I I get you. I I I because I I look at at, the picture of Donald Trump standing with Zelensky yesterday at the White House, and, you know, Donald Trump's a big guy. You know? Yeah. Yeah. He's six foot something. And, you know, Zelensky is his little twerp.
[00:34:06] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. So is Putin. You you both of the Vladivairs, they're these short little guys with the same first name. I'm like, come on. You guys already have something in common. Let's just stop. Right? Yeah. Oh, exactly. Yeah. But but again but back to the point of of being it's like, you know, it it's it is it's a distraction.
[00:34:23] Unknown:
Because here we are, we're involved in all of these things around the world. We're we're we have military installations in in a in a 100 plus countries around the world. We're spending all this money in foreign aid and support. Like I said, we just gave Argentina $40,000,000,000 last week. You know, we're sending out all of these resources when all can you imagine what it would be like here in These United States if all of the money that we sent overseas and all of the effort that we put into rebuilding countries overseas were was were devoted here as opposed to that? Just imagine what a wonderful place this this this these, These United States would be Mhmm. If we weren't wasting our time and money over there.
You know, the American people are struggling. You see it in the markets. The stock market, just as as just as volatile as the crypto market. You know, if, I think right now the crypto market took a bigger hit than than the stock market did. But but, you know, all of those things are affect home, and we need I think we really need to start pulling back from the world stage. So go do what you gotta let them take care of themselves. Yeah. They're they're all still heavily dependent upon The United States, and it shouldn't be. We cannot afford it anymore.
[00:35:44] Unknown:
Yeah. You you know We never could. When I think when Trump came into office, everything was so much of a mess overseas with everything. Trade deficits, wars. I mean, it is just it's been it was chaos. And so this is the year of fixing things, laying the groundwork. And, ultimately, when there's world peace, then there's gonna be a lot more trade. And he's negotiated a lot of stuff in our advantage for trading purposes, and that will eventually trickle down into the economy. I think that's the way that he's kind of looking at it. And, you know, it's great and all, but it's still it's just not fast. You know? It's just not fast enough.
[00:36:26] Unknown:
No. I it's kinda it's kinda like, like, the an the analogy I like to use is, like, look one of those big cruise ships. You know? You know? Those things don't stop on a dime. Yeah. You know? If they're gonna stop, it takes miles and miles and miles for them to slow down enough where they can stop and turn around and go back. Mhmm. Same thing with with with the country, same thing with the economy. You know, the Biden administration wrecked the economy and the reputation of this country around the world in in less than four years, and it's gonna take time to to fix all these things.
Totally get it. Totally understand that. But at the same time,
[00:37:04] Unknown:
when you're looking to decide whether, like, we were talking before, I said, I I don't know. I'm trying to think of what I what I have in the house that I could sell just so I can pay a bill. You know? It's and yet we're just going to needs that are not being met for sure. Absolutely. Exactly. Exactly. You don't when you cut out so many benefits, to the people, that's when things get a little bit sketchy, I I think. I think that they need to look more so at, like, you know, where their spending is, and they did. They started out with that. They started out with Doge looking at everything, and, I don't know. Everything's just a mess. So I'm just kinda like, alright. Focus on yourself. Focus on your business. Do what you can to help yourself right now.
Get some investments under your belt because things will turn around, and, it'll it just takes a little bit of time, and it's taking more time, you know, than maybe we all anticipated. We all anticipated, you know, he would get in the office and things would turn around a lot faster. He does need to focus more of his energy on The US. And when you look at all these states, you know, and the governors he's going up against, I mean, he's going up against battle after battle after battle after battle, so it's not easy.
We just have to give this a little bit more time.
[00:38:16] Unknown:
I yeah. I I understand that. I appreciate that. I can very easily. I'm sorry. I'm trying to open up a window here, and it's not letting me. Yeah. Okay. So I want to open up this thing on, I have an article that I sent you a link to on tempo. And, I wanted to ask you a little bit about that. Like, what exactly is Tempo? And, my my email is not working. Like, I said, I'm having an issue here with with with the web. But, No. It's okay.
[00:38:43] Unknown:
So So Tempo is Stripe's layer one blockchain that they're going to be using to process credit card payments. And it's gonna compete with Circle, which is cool, because you don't want Circle to dominate everything. But Stripe is huge. And so, you know, when you process transactions on the blockchain, you pay less per transaction, which is awesome. It settles pretty fast, which is good. And it's a public it's on the public ledger. So, I I think it's great. I think I love that Stripe is doing that, and I think that we're gonna see more and more of that with payment processing and and things going more on the blockchain just because, it's just easier to keep track of. It's cheaper and it's faster. So
[00:39:23] Unknown:
Do you think it's do you think this is a game changer?
[00:39:26] Unknown:
I think it's the beginning of of it being a game changer for sure.
[00:39:30] Unknown:
That's interesting. I got I I wanna I wanna, like, kinda read into more of this a little bit. And like I said, I was trying to pull the article up, it's not coming up for me. But another thing that we were talking about too is, and I sent you a link to this one as well, is something very interesting going on overseas. And I'm curious as to how it's gonna affect banking in the future Mhmm. And how it's gonna affect world markets, especially with within the crypto community. And that's, Japan. Japan's, Japan's three largest banks are planning to jointly issue a yen pegged stablecoin.
Mhmm. And, what I mean, what do you think about that? I mean, do you agree that this this could be something that, that we're looking at few a future in banking? Or do you think this is something that they're doing just to because their their their yen is is not very stable right now. It's on a very, very big downturn, in value. So do you think this is a an attempt for them to save it? Or do you think this is something that they're doing to, you know, that that could potentially become the model for banking in the future?
[00:40:37] Unknown:
I think this is their attempt to save it. You can't blame them for trying. Good for them. I had somebody ask in my Patreon group, and I I did this in my mid month update this month, about the Japanese yen. And it's not something that I follow. So I'm like, alright. I'm just gonna, like, tap into this intuitively. I still see the Japanese yen going down in value even with this in place. I think it's gonna take some time to recover for sure. I do think there's a good chance it will recover, but there's also a chance it could be replaced with something else. So something's going on with the Japanese yen where it is just on a downward spiral for sure. So, you know, it's one of those let's wait and see what happens with with the yen. I'm not, like, an expert in currencies, or the Japanese yen for that matter, but that's kinda what I got, like, intuitively as they're trying to save it. It's on a downward spiral for sure. So
[00:41:30] Unknown:
That's interesting. And, of course, you know, talking about stablecoins. I I'm very interested in stablecoins. I've been I've been looking at a few of them, and, you know, some of these stablecoins, you know, they offer interest
[00:41:42] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[00:41:43] Unknown:
On, on your investment. And in some cases, they're they're they're actually higher than what you would get in, like, a because, you know, like like something like PayPal, they they have their own stable coin, and they also have, a savings account that you could put your money into, your cash into. And, I think they pay, like, 3.8% interest on the on the cash, but it looks like their stablecoin actually pays a a little bit of a higher interest rate. And, and I was reading about this thing, a stablecoin chain. Now what exactly is a Stablecoin chain?
[00:42:20] Unknown:
So it's a blockchain that processes Stablecoin transactions.
[00:42:24] Unknown:
Okay. Now why do you think that this is get because I I'm seeing a lot more of it. So why do you think this is getting getting more popular? Is it because of the volatility?
[00:42:33] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. You know, probably the most stable crypto in terms of price is Bitcoin just because there's so much money in it. So it's kinda like one of those things where if you don't want your investment to go up too much or too down, you're gonna go with Bitcoin. But, like, what is the other options other than Bitcoin? So everybody's, like, releasing their their own stable coin. And it trades at a dollar for a dollar, but there's usually fees associated with each transaction, so that's how they make their money on it. There are for me, stable coins are very, it's like a temporary investment. Like, so when the bull run comes, I'll be converting some of my portfolio into a stable coin temporarily for a short period of time, and then I'll be converting it back into cryptos that I wanna buy. Right?
That's just to retain the value. I will not hold any significant money that I have in a stable coin for a long period of time, And I'm not sure why I feel like this. It's just like an intuitive feeling. And I'm not trying to scare anybody, but I've always had a fear that of, like, deep pegging, and I don't even know if that's a thing. I'm not an expert in stable coins, but, like, what if for some reason, some like, the backing of that stable coin just went away? And I don't know why I feel like that could happen. And it could be something catastrophic for some people, and that's why I just don't totally trust it. So that's why I'm like, stablecoins for me would just be a temporary move.
[00:44:05] Unknown:
I gotcha. It's a it it's it's again, it's something I was looking at for myself, my own portfolio, just to, kinda look looking for the higher interest rate. But then again, like you said, there's a lot of fees attached to the stable coin. And it it so whatever you're making really in the interest on it, you're just paying it out in fees. Totally. So it's it's so it's it's a gamble, I guess. And either way, however you go about it. Again, not financial advice, invest at your own risk. I I should put the banner up again just in case Yeah. There you go. There we go. Not financial advice, invest at your own risk. Mhmm. But, but this is a lot of great information, to to carry into. So any, any, anything on the on the horizon that's really catching your attention that we should be paying attention to?
[00:44:52] Unknown:
You know what I really have liked recently is Cardano. I feel like Cardano is gonna be a really good long term winner, and it just went down in the 60¢ range. Hold on. Let me look it up. Where are we at with Cardano? C a o. Yeah. C it's, c a r d a n o. 63¢ a coin. I feel like this is a great thing to have it a great crypto to have in your portfolio. I feel like they're gonna do some interesting innovative things in the future, and 63¢ is a steal. I mean, I got into it years ago in, like, the 30¢ range. So I kinda stopped buying it. And then when it dropped down to 60¢, I'm like, you know what? I think I'm gonna add a little bit more. Why not? So there's a lot more growth with Cardano.
Solana is solid. So I've been asked over and over what cryptos would you have if, let's say, you wanna put your kid through college. Let's say you want a dollar cost average into the market right now. Put a little bit of money every month into a couple different cryptos where you plan on holding it for, let's say, ten years. What would you pick? So you really have to be strategic with this because not all these cryptos are gonna be around. There's gonna be a lot that fade out. In a case like that, I would, dollar cost average into Bitcoin for sure.
Ethereum, Solana is absolutely one I would dollar cost average into. Cardano, I feel like, is gonna be around. Chainlink's a good one.
[00:46:21] Unknown:
I've seen Chainlink some play. I think I think you can get that through through PayPal too. They they offer that. Is is Chainlink new, or is that something that's been around for good? No. It's been around forever. It's like an oracle blockchain,
[00:46:34] Unknown:
and they're involved in so many different projects. And I believe their CEO is part of something that having to do with the government, like the cryptos are or something like that. I don't know the exact term offhand, but he's very much involved with setting the crypto standards, you know, with the government. So I like that. What else do I like in here? Let's see. Let me take a look. I love Algorand. Of course, Algorand. I'm I'm gonna Algorand's a layer one. They're solid. They're gonna be around for a long time. Let's see here.
You kinda wanna stay in the top cryptos if you're looking, like, ten years from now because these are the projects that are gonna be around for many, many years to come. SUI's okay. SUI's not gonna SUI's been so underperforming this year, though, but I do feel they'll be around. BNB, I like BNB too. That's Binance's coin. I like them. They'll be around. So
[00:47:39] Unknown:
Gotta give a quick shout out here. Hey, Jake, thank you so much for, for liking the show and sharing. I'd appreciate that. So, try to do that whenever I can. You know? Sounds good. Yeah. Yeah. It's always great. I appreciate it. So what else you got for us before we, start to wrap this baby up?
[00:48:02] Unknown:
Just hold tight because things are coming for the market. You know, one of the things that we can do is put out positive energy. And, you know, manifestation is a real thing. You know, when you scroll on on TikTok or YouTube, I like scrolling and watching shorts sometimes a little bit before bed. And you just, like, put in manifestation. And they they have all kinds of different unique tech techniques that you can do, envisioning yourself already being wealthy, envisioning your portfolio going up. I mean, there's something legit to it. And And I wanna tell you something interesting that happened to me last night. Right. So I was on YouTube. I'm liking scrolling on YouTube a little bit. It's sort of like a newer thing. I mean, I have I put my videos on YouTube, but I don't really use it a whole lot. And I was scrolling through the YouTube shorts.
And I said to myself, god, send me a message. Because sometimes I get, like, I follow different people on there that do, like, daily collectives, and they give you, like, a message from the universe. I'm like, I want a message from you. Right? The next message that I see, I'm gonna assume is a message from Udemy. And guess what came up? Go to mass. Really? Yeah. So that's what I'm gonna do tonight. I'm I'm not even Catholic, and I'm just gonna go to mass tonight. So whatever. Yeah. No. Interesting. Yeah. Try it. It's it's actually really interesting. Just try it. See see what comes up on your algorithm. Say just say, god, give me a message. What what do you want me to hear? And the next significant message that comes up. I mean, you know, of course, you're gonna, excuse me, like, scroll through other things where, like, let's say you like dogs, and there'll be, like, a dog, you know, video or something like that. That's not the message. Like, a significant message. You'll know it when you hear it. It's interesting. It's funny because as you're telling that, I'm thinking to myself, man, if I did that right now, what would pop up in my YouTube,
[00:49:45] Unknown:
algorithm there? And it would probably be, like, some kind of a reaction video to something because, I don't know, I've been watching these reaction videos and, to to to, you know, stuff, music that I like, particularly, because I I wanna see the the younger generation's, reactions to some of those music that I like. Mhmm. And, so so that that's been quite entertaining, to to be honest with you. And, so I'm I'm pretty sure that if I did that right now, it'd be some Pink Floyd reaction video would pop up at first. But, that's interesting, though. That that's that's so so so it it told you to go to church. Mhmm. Which I think is a really, really good message.
[00:50:24] Unknown:
You know, one of the things that I I took a look at was Erica Kirk's, Twitter or x account or whatever. And shortly after everything happened with with her husband, she had a simple message that she posted on x, and it was go to church. And I thought to myself, that's a great message. It really, really is. And so I reposted that. And I don't follow her, like, closely or anything like that. It was just something I kinda took a look at after that horrible tragedy. Yeah. So but I, you know, I've gotten that message a couple times now. I'm like, alright. I really need to get back to church. So that's what I'm doing today. You sure all should be listening to my Sunday show. Oh, yeah. Your Bible study. Yes, ma'am. For sure. I will. We just finished last week, I finished,
[00:51:07] Unknown:
a seven a seven week study in through through the book of Proverbs. Not obviously, not verse by verse or chapter by chapter. It's 30 chapter 31 chapters in Proverbs. So, but I did seven I did seven shows on on on Proverbs from wisdom from Proverbs. And, so I had asked the audience, which direction they wanted to go next, and I gave them two options. And, so far, what I've gotten back was they wanna go into, dispensations. And so I'm gonna be starting to teach a series on dispensations starting tomorrow. So that should be very interesting. And all dispensation is is just a period of time, how God deals with man during a specific period of time. And, there are several of them throughout your bible as you study it and as you read it and you you look at it, you can obvious once you know what you're looking for, you can actually see the the obvious changeovers, and some of them overlap, and so it's it's it's complex.
But it's gonna be really interesting. I've taught this, before. I taught this as a bible study in my in my church, a number of years ago, so I already have the lessons already prepared. So it's just a matter of going through and refreshing, you know, before the show tomorrow. I'll be doing that later today. So while you're in mass and church, I will be sitting here reading my bible and studying and prepping for tomorrow's show. So, if you can check it out, that'd be great. 03:00.
[00:52:28] Unknown:
Absolutely. I'll check it out. Yeah. 02:00. You know what I'll do? One of the things that I love to do in my spare time is I love to listen to podcasts. So I don't always have time to, like, sit and actually watch a video, But I know, Joe, for anybody that doesn't know, he's also on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music. So you can just go in there, type in Joe Russo, and you can listen to these podcasts so you don't have to actually watch it on Rumble.
[00:52:52] Unknown:
That's right. And that that would be great too because I would love to see the numbers increase. My my numbers on on Apple, believe it or not, are really good, cons compared to to the other platforms that I'm on. Like, I don't get a lot of traction on Spotify, which I don't really expect because I don't have a, you know, I don't have a big marketing team, and Spotify seems is is very, very polished. It's, you know, for the for the independent creators, it's very, very hard to get any traction on on Spotify. Amazon Music also, I've I've noticed that I've I've gotten a little bit of an uptick on on the Amazon Music platform, which was I thought it was wild, and I had no idea that I was on Pandora.
[00:53:32] Unknown:
I didn't I didn't know that much. You find out. You don't even know you're on Pandora until you realize you're on Pandora.
[00:53:37] Unknown:
Yeah. I found I found that out. I had a friend of mine tell me, hey. You know, I I I your show came up as as as something I might be interested in on Pandora. I said, I'm Pandora. Since when? I didn't know I was on there. But also I I like to to I like to direct folks to this to these smaller podcast platforms. Those and I can I talk about them as modern podcast apps like Podcast Guru, fountain.fm, truefans.fm? Mhmm. There's so many of them. And one of the reasons why I like those, and this should be interesting to to folks in the in the crypto communities, because, through those modern podcast apps, if you have a crypto wallet, you can connect your crypto wallet with those apps.
And if you're listening to a show that that you really like, you could actually send boosts. Oh, that's cool. And you could send, you know, through crypto. And and, it's mostly connected with Bitcoin. So you'd they would you would be sending over, like, Sats or Satoshis, which which, you know, is just a micropayment of Bitcoin. Mhmm. It's really it's when you think about it, it's really just like pennies, to be honest with you. It's, I think I think 10 Satoshis I think I think a 100 Satoshis is like 10¢ or something like that. Mhmm. So, but that's but that's neat too because you could do it in live time because the show is being streamed live.
Mhmm. And so, you know, if somebody I I don't have it set up where I can monitor it like that, but, you can do it where you actually see the live interactions. If somebody does make a contribution, send you a boost or something like that through that, you could do it. And the other thing too with these a lot of these, platforms, I think I know Fountain does it, True Fans does it. I'm not sure about the other ones, but you actually earn Satoshis by listening to the podcast. Interesting. So that that's pretty it's pretty neat. It is pretty neat. So that's why I like I like to encourage folks to go to those modern podcast apps so you can check these things out. And, some of the I I mention them all the time, the ones that I I use the most, the ones that I really like because and the user interface on these things are beautiful. I mean, they are just, like, artful. You know, they're just beautiful.
Fountain and and Podcast Guru, those are the two that I use the most. Very, very little, little problems with those things. Very, very rarely do I even have a buffering issue with those things. They are they're just fantastic apps, and they were very well designed, and they keep getting better. And I think you can set up through Fountain, you can set up a a Nostr account as well, and, which is neat. It's like a it's like a messaging platform. So it's, it's it's pretty neat. I like it. And and I I tried tried to direct folks there. And I'm seeing a little bit of an increase in the use on those. The more I mentioned it, the more I'm seeing some increases on them, and those are great. And, you know, there there's just so many options. You can find us everywhere. There's a point. It's we are just all over the place. You can even go to the web my website, joeroos.com, and you and on the player, which is provided to us by Podholm, there's a drop down. You can scroll through every episode that I put out, and they're all right there. I don't have to have a separate page for it, and saves a lot of, bandwidth and all that stuff. So, there's a lot of ways to find the show. You could do that. You can also find Marissa Lee on her website, Sacred Tarot Card Readings also, u.com, and also on her patch Patreon, which is Crypto psychic. Crypto psychic. Right. It I don't know why I cannot get that out of my out of the from the brain to the mouth. I can't put that out for some reason. Like, I I hear it rolling around up there like a like a hamster in a cage. That's okay. But, patreon.com/cryptopsychic, you can check her out there.
All of the links for, Marissa will be in the show notes, and they already are on the video side. The audio side will be up shortly after the show is released. I do have to probably edit something because I there was a bit of a a hiccup with the, my, my encoder when I started it. So I'm probably gonna have to rip the audio from the video and re reupload it. But so it might be a little delayed on the upload for this for the show later on, but it'll be up there by the end of today. And, let's say our resident crypto sidekick, Marissa, what else do you have for us before we say adios for the day?
[00:57:53] Unknown:
Get some more Algorand. Get some more Cardano. Get some more Origin Trail. That's my message to everybody. And everything's gonna be okay. Just hold tight. Things will start to improve significantly. We're just in this little, like, downward spiral right now, but it'll get better. I promise it'll better. It'll get better very soon. So In my in my head, I keep on seeing Mel Gibson,
[00:58:17] Unknown:

Stick with it. Ride out the storm. And I think you're right. I think I think I think we're gonna see some really good returns very, very soon on these investments that we make. And again, folks, if you have any questions whatsoever about this stuff, you can always reach out to Marissa directly through her website.

Great to see you too, Joe. You too, Joe. What's cooking? I got your message, by the way. Yeah. You know, the the, I'm trying something new with, the StreamYard, so I'm I'm running the audio through StreamYard instead of the mixing board to take a look at that warbling effect. So I wasn't sure about how the levels were gonna be. So I think I gotta correct it now. But, So so every time I talk, I hear an echo echo. Oh, do you? Okay. Let me fix it. Yeah. Yeah. Take care of that for you.
That should do it. Okay. Better? Oh, that's yes. Totally better. Thank you. No problem. See, what I do is when I don't have a guest on the show, I switch it to the stereo audio, which takes away the echo cancellation, and then when we have somebody on the show, I forget to switch back sometimes. So this is the problem when you are a one man operation running all the tech stuff plus the content, and have to do all of these things by yourself. That's that's the the problem with it. Although, I did learn, by the way, that you what we can do here with StreamYard is I could actually have somebody, connect remotely and actually run all this stuff for me while I'm doing the show, this way I don't have to worry about all that technical stuff. So that's that's Nice. Should be as soon as I find somebody that I could trust to do that, then we'll do that.
Yeah. Right. Not only not only trust, but but who has the time to do it, to to be able to sit on the show with me, as often as we do shows. But so what's going on with you? What's new?
[00:09:48] Unknown:
I'm just busy busy, you know, and we recently had this big crypto crash. So, yeah, I've been just trying to send out a positive message to everybody and reassure them that it's not gonna last long. This is a great time to buy. And I know I keep saying that I feel like I'm just, like, on repeat every single month. This is a great time to buy. The bull runs coming. I really feel like it's coming very, very soon. It's gonna come before the end of the year. That's that's just gonna happen. So this is just a matter of being patient and, you know, when it comes, it's gonna be really, really good. I feel like the longer we wait, the better it's gonna be. So, there's something in the works. And right now, there's so much going on within the government, and it's just chaos. Right? We've got a government shutdown right now.
Props to president Trump for stopping that war with Hamas. That was great. Although, you know, that's not gonna come without issues in the future, though, I think. Of course. So let's talk about the crypto crash. I wanna talk about what happened because I've had a chance to, like, really absorb that a little bit more. So I'll tell you my personal experience with this. This is nuts. I was sitting at my kitchen table, and all of a sudden, my phone, like, just exploded. Like, it didn't stop ringing. I got a million text messages all at once, and then I got, like, all these notifications on alerts that I have set for crypto when it goes up or down. You know? And so I've never seen my phone do that before. That was it was crazy. So I'm like, okay. Something is going on. I need to stop what I'm doing and take a look at this. And so I saw the market took a big tank, and I was like, woah. What's going on? So I did a quick Google search, and I saw that Trump announced a 100% tariffs on China.
And so I threw on some makeup, and I made a quick video, and I just reassured everybody, you know, everything's gonna be be okay. Because I knew that this this would pass. This wasn't gonna be, like, a permanent thing. So, intuitively, I didn't even wanna do any more research. I wanted to just tap into it intuitively. And I used to work for a customs broker. And for those of you that don't know what a customs broker is, they file the paperwork, the legal paperwork required for importers to import freight. So when these big containers come in, you know, it has to pass through customs, and so we would file the paperwork. So I'm I'm very well aware of how tariffs work.
And I was like, why would tariffs on imported freight affect the crypto market so drastically? Right? And I I knew Trump was having a tiff with China because that's when he always, you know, increases the tariffs. And I thought to myself, China must have sold everything, all their digital assets. But I also know that it's illegal to own it, digital assets in China. They banned it years ago. That doesn't mean the government doesn't have digital assets. Right? So,
[00:12:31] Unknown:
one thing about communist governments is, you know, communism
[00:12:34] Unknown:
is good for me good good for the, but doesn't apply to me. So Oh, yeah. No. For sure. For sure. So I knew president Chi would be pretty upset about the tariffs, and I felt like there was a big sell off. Okay? And so then I did a little bit of research after I got that message, and I saw a bunch of news articles saying, oh, yeah. China got rid of all their digital assets, and they bought silver and gold. And I'm like, okay. That makes sense. So the next day, I make a video about it, And the market just keeps going down and down and down and down. And as the day progressed, more happened. You know, a lot of people pulled out of the crypto market, and then they got rid of the leverage traders. Okay? People that are to me, leverage trading is gambling.
You're you're investing with money that you don't have, so they wiped them out. There was, like, $20,000,000,000 right there. So it was just a series of trickle down events that reacted to this tariff announcement. And I I just kinda feel, like, a little bit frustrated that a tariff announcement would do this to the crypto market. I mean, it just kinda goes to show you how fragile it is. We still are very much in the beginning stages of this. So my advice to everybody has just been just, yeah, take advantage of these discounted prices for now. I I really feel like the bold run is coming very, very, very, very, very soon. There's gonna be a big shift. Mhmm. So just hang in there. I I feel like it's gonna happen some maybe either the October into November or, you know, or sometime just in November. I feel like November historically in the crypto market has always been a good month for the most part. So as we approach November, I have a lot of hope. I'm putting out a lot of positive energy. I felt the bull run coming for so long, and I feel like the longer we wait, the better it's gonna be for whatever reason. That's just the intuitive message that I'm getting.
[00:14:21] Unknown:
Now do you think it's necessary, though, that we have a correction like this, well, a dip like this in order to have the correction for the bull run to start in November?
[00:14:29] Unknown:
Well and and there's that too. There's they always crash the market before the bull run comes. That's what they did in November 2021. So, I mean, to me, it was a positive sign that the bull run's coming, and then we got November. So I'm like, okay. I'm really hopeful. I I I I really am. I think that we're gonna make a lot of money soon. But here's the thing. When the bull run comes, if you don't make moves, it's gonna go away. Right? Like, it's not gonna be a bull run, you know, until, you know, December, January. It's it's gonna be a big shot up and a big shot down.
[00:14:58] Unknown:
Alright. Alright. Now what do you what what could we do to hedge up our our, portfolios? Do you think buying gold or silver would be a good thing to do? It's not a bad idea. It's gonna continue to go up.
[00:15:10] Unknown:
Historically, you know, it's always increased in value year after year. You know? I don't do any kind of trading with gold and silver, like, on a regular basis. Some people are like, oh, should I sell it at this price? Should I buy it at this price? And I'm just like, I would if I if you're gonna buy gold or silver, just hold on to it long term. You know? That's personally, you know, what I do. And I'm not an expert in the gold and silver market. But, yeah, I I do think that it's gonna significantly increase in value.
[00:15:39] Unknown:
Alright. What do you think it's gonna what do you think the, crypto market's gonna look like coming up in in, '26? Because, like, you know, we got a lot of we got some bumpy roads this year. We had some good highs. We got some really low valleys. What do you what's, 2026 looking like for you?
[00:15:55] Unknown:
I think it's gonna start out strong. I I have a good feeling about that. And then we're gonna have a big correction again. And, you know, there are people that like to control the market with billions of dollars, access to billions of dollars, whether it's through them or their friends or whatnot, and they like to control the market. They're gonna try to take away anybody's confidence in the crypto market because our confidence will be restored with the bull run, and, more people are gonna jump in. So it's gonna start sustaining at higher levels, but at the same time, there's still gonna be some very significant pullbacks in 2026. However, I'm I feel like by the 2026, we're gonna we're gonna see some really good changes. I I do.
More adaption.
[00:16:39] Unknown:
Yeah. I I know this isn't we didn't really we we talk before the show sometimes, and we kinda go over some of the things that we're gonna talk about. But, one thing that came to mind, I was looking at the price of ALGO, and I'm I'm watching ALGO go up and down, like, peak and valley, like, big time. Do you think, do you think ALGO has better days ahead?
[00:16:58] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This is money. This is an opportunity. If you look at it at it as anything other than an opportunity, you're looking at it wrong. I haven't been able to buy Algorand in the 17¢ range since April, and it didn't stay like that for long. So, yeah. No. Buy some Algo. That is my personal opinion, not financial advice, of course. Yes. I have bought more Algo, and I am continuing to stock up. You're not gonna go wrong with it. That's just intuitively, that's the feel that I get, especially if you're a long term holder. And it's gonna run during this bull run, so, it's some fast cash.
[00:17:35] Unknown:
And, I also noticed that XRP was it XRP that that that took kind of a kind of a hit also, Went down significantly. And, what do you think about what what's your what's your gut on this one?
[00:17:47] Unknown:
So if you look at where we were at with XRP exactly a year ago today, we were in the 50¢ range, Joe. Think about that. Okay. So what's XRP at today? Today, it's at $2.35. It's still a good buy in my opinion. I mean, it's never gonna go down to the 50¢ range ever again. So, anything under $3 for me, XRP, would be a buy. I'm not personally stocking up on it. I I am kinda stacking up on other coins that I think are gonna run a little bit higher. You know, XRP at 50¢ was, like, a huge, blessing to be able to get into, and a lot of people get into it. But then, you know, when people saw other people making money in XRP, they're like, oh, I wanna buy XRP. And so we have all of those investors now too. And XRP is gonna XRP is a good long term hold in my opinion. I I feel like we're gonna be in the $15 range by the 2026, maybe even up to $20 with it. So Really? Yeah. We're gonna see a big spike up. I've been feeling during a bull run, XRP is gonna hit at least $5. I've been saying that since May, and the bull run just never came. And I'm like, come on.
But I think by the end of the year, my original prediction was I think it was, like, the eight to eleven dollar range, and I still stick with that. I still feel like XRP is gonna go up significantly soon. So
[00:19:02] Unknown:
Well, from your mouth to God's ears, we hope. Because I I hope. Have a quite a bit of XRP. So I wanna Good. You know, I wanna I'm hoping that, we'll we'll see some good return on investment there. And, we were also talking a little bit about, ETFs. When do you think all these ETF, or all these crypto ETFs are gonna be approved?
[00:19:25] Unknown:
November. You know, I looked into this earlier in the year, and I felt like November was the time frame that it was gonna be approved. And what's interesting is we didn't know back then the government was gonna be shut down. The government shutdown is really halting a lot of stuff legally. So, you know, it has to go through an approval process, and that's just, like, not happening right now. And they're a little bit backlogged, but I feel really good about the that being approved in November. And, you know, that might just add to the bull run. You know? I I'm not exactly sure what chain of events in what order is going to happen that's gonna trigger the bull run, but I I'm feeling really good about November overall for the crypto market. So I hope so. I hope so. I'd like to make some more money. Be nice. Yeah. Yeah. Me too. Me too. I've been waiting. I'm like, oh god.
You know? I'm I'm trying that's I'm I'm trying to always put out a positive message to people because I know regardless of the exact time of when things start to manifest, I do know ultimately that it will manifest.
[00:20:27] Unknown:
Alright. Now just just for the sake of of reminding folks what what what exactly ETFs and what they're waiting for to be approved, can you explain that just a little bit?
[00:20:38] Unknown:
They're electronic filed wait. ETF funds. Electronic filed funds or something like that. It's basically, like, where you can take a whole bunch of you can buy it, like, through stocks and stuff like that. I'm not, like, a total expert on the ETF market, but I I just buy crypto directly. I don't really, you know, do it that way, but it just broadens the way that people can buy crypto. It's kinda just the way that I look at it, the simplified version.
[00:21:08] Unknown:
Alright. Well, I I was curious about that, and and I think you're right. I was I was trying to search here, but my my browser's just spinning at the moment, so hoping it's not affecting the stream, Internet issue. But, the, I I was just curious about what exactly that was because you hear about buying gold and silver through ETFs also, and it's I was just kinda, you know, wanted to clarify what it was and what was bringing to be approved on that one. And, and you're right. The government shutdown does affect a lot of this stuff. And, unfortunately, and and but you see, I say unfortunately, but I say it's kind of tongue in cheek because, honestly, the the longer the government is shut down, the less damage they can do. You know? So, I I don't really I don't really care, to be quite honest. Let let let it stay stay shut down. I think that'll just help people to to realize that, they need their state government more than they need the federal government and go to the state. And I think a lot of this stuff should be left to the states to take care of it. It shouldn't be centralized in a federal monstrosity
[00:22:06] Unknown:
in Washington, DC to to to regulate all this stuff. I think it should be done at the state level. This my opinion, I could be wrong. Drop a comment down below. Let me know. Well, it it also depends on what state you live in. Like, for me, where I live right now, I trust the federal government more than I do my state. I'll say that. That's scary. ETF. I know. It really is. It kinda makes me wanna move. An ETF exchange traded fund. Yeah. That's, like, when you can it's, like, through the stock market and stuff like that. Like, it's just a little bit more accessible to the average investor, to the average Joe.
[00:22:35] Unknown:
I hate those statements. I can't stop saying it. Sorry, Jim. Well, yeah, of course. Well, it's alright. That's okay. I don't mind. The, now, of course, you know, the bane of everybody's existence is taxes. Taxes, taxes, taxes. Everything is involved with taxes. I I was saying last night on the show that that, you know, it it's it's pathetic that I'm probably gonna end up having to go out and get another job just to pay taxes. Just think about that. Yeah. Just just Well, it's you and, you know Oh, I know I'm not alone. 70%
[00:23:09] Unknown:
of the country. I mean, they are just ridiculous, and Yeah. It's not getting better. So, you know, when Trump goes and he's like, oh, the economy is doing so well. I'm like, what are you talking about? And and listen, I do like him for crypto, and I do like what he's done for crypto. I love the peace that he's brought to the world in stopping all these wars. That's he's done a lot of good things. I I I'm not knocking any of that. But, like, when it comes to the economy, I'm like, really? There's so much more that needs to be done. This isn't perfect. It seems like the federal government has billions of dollars, but, you know, the average person is struggling still, and we are way,
[00:23:43] Unknown:
way overtaxed. So Oh, absolutely. And and what irritates me too is is is that, you know, we're the American people are struggling, and yet somehow, someway, despite the government being closed, we sent $40,000,000,000 to Argentina last week. $40,000,000,000 to our you know, how about you distribute some of that within The United States to the American people for debt relief? And I'm not talking about a check for $200. I'm talking about substantial relief. You know? Because the price You know, they they should just they should just cut the federal income tax significantly. It's ridiculous what those rates are. Like easily replace that with a sales a a a a federal sales tax or Yeah. Yeah. A fair tax or a flat tax or something like that, or a con or a consumption tax. You you know what I'm talking about because Yeah. Hey, look. You wanna talk about people pay paying their fair share, the wealthy don't pay their fair share. First of all, for the record, I don't fault someone for being wealthy.
You know, God bless them. You know, they made decisions. They made they took sacrifices and risk, whether it was somebody in their family down the road, and they've inherited this money down the line. Doesn't make a difference. They invested themselves, and they and they earned what they've gotten. That said, if you have a consumption tax, everybody has to buy stuff. Everybody has to pay the consumption tax. So if you wanna make sure the rich pay their fair share, well, what's the best way to do it? I'm not going out and buying a multimillion dollar yacht or a multimillion dollar home. Somebody who has the kind of money to do that can, and they'll end up paying the tax on that. And so they'll be paying into the system more than what they might already be. So that would make sense. It it because taxes are ridiculous. And one of the things that really irritate me about the taxes is that in here in Texas, we had the opportunity in the last session of the state house to eliminate property taxes here in Texas, and the so called Republican speaker of the Texas house didn't even allow it to come to the floor Wow. For discussion. Instead, they raised the taxes.
[00:25:55] Unknown:
That's crazy.
[00:25:56] Unknown:
It's absolutely ridiculous. And I don't know about anywhere else, but I know here you have to pay your city tax, your local tax, your state tax, your, on your property. I'm so I'm talking about, your school district tax. I don't even have kids in school. Yeah. And that's and and believe it or not, the school district tax is the highest tax that I have to pay Wow. Out of all of the other ones. That's the that's that's where the most of it goes. You guys don't have income tax, though, in Texas, do you? Right. Didn't they just get rid of property taxes in Florida? There I I don't know if they passed it yet or not. I know they were they were working on that. But, and then we have the hospital district tax and all these all these taxes. And I was actually looking at the breakdown of my of my, my mortgage payments, and the majority of my mortgage payment goes to taxes.
Like, seriously, like, it it's all and I have to now I'm getting aggravated.
[00:26:56] Unknown:
Yeah. No. No. Hey. Listen. I I get it. I get it. Totally get it. Well, you know, the good news is is I do think that there's gonna be significant changes in 2026 for all kinds of taxes. I think the crypto tax is gonna change in 2026.
[00:27:09] Unknown:
I don't Which is where we're going to.
[00:27:12] Unknown:
Yeah. I I'm not I'm not feeling that it's gonna happen in 2025. If it does happen in 2025, which I do hope it does, it might be a little bit, like, last minute kinda deal later in 2025, which we are kind of in, you know, the end of 2025 almost. But, 2026 is gonna be a significant tax change is is the feel that I'm getting. So That could be great. Kinda just need to hang in there and, you know
[00:27:37] Unknown:
whatever we can to get by. It's tough. But, hey, let's send another $40,000,000,000
[00:27:41] Unknown:
to some foreign country somewhere instead of, you know I know. I'm so sick of that. I am so sick of that. If it's not one thing, it's another. It's like, come on.
[00:27:50] Unknown:
I I get stuck on the taxes. I'm I'm sorry. So Oh, it's okay. I understand. It triggers you. I get it. Yeah. It's my that's my yeah. I'm gonna get I'm gonna put a flag up back here, something about taxes somewhere along the way. They don't tread on me thing. I don't know. We'll see. We shall see. I don't know. Is that flag still banned and illegal? Or or There's a banned flag? Well, yeah. Well, I don't know if they actually did it or not. But under the Biden administration, they were trying to ban the Gadsden flag, which is the coiled rattlesnake that says don't tread on me, which is one of the first two two flags of Yeah. The fledgling United States. The other one is the appeal to heaven, by the way, which I have tattooed on both shoulders. I have the don't tread on me on this side, the appeal to heaven flag on that side. So I love that. Yeah. So I I I might have a problem if it is banned, you know. I can't walk around without a shirt on. Right?
Yeah. Not that I do anyway because nobody wants to see my fat rolls, but, you know, it's it's what it is. Hey. So what do you think about Bitcoin? I I know Bitcoin's been on a roller coaster too. I mean, I mean, the whole crypto market's been up and down, but Yeah. Bitcoin popped out at it was over 120,000
[00:28:56] Unknown:
at one point, and now it's where is it now? It's, like, one ten or something like that? You know what? I think I was looking at it. I think it's at, like, $1.00 6 today. Let me hold on. Let me just yeah. $1.00 6. Don't worry about it. It'll recover. I I really feel and I've been saying for a while now. I feel like we're gonna hit the $1.50 mark in 2025 with Bitcoin. Could it end up being just a little bit under that? Sure. But I do feel like we're gonna we're still gonna hit a new all time high with Bitcoin coming up here before the end of the year, so I'm not worried about it. The thing is is I do think we're gonna have a big, big, big dip in 2026 at some point with Bitcoin where it goes under a $100,000 a coin. So, it's a good time to buy it. I I I'm not a big Bitcoin investor, but I do think if you're holding long term, if you're holding, you know, at least five years, Bitcoin is good to have in your portfolio.
But if you wanna make some fast cash, you go with, like, something like Algorand, say, I'm loving Origin Trail. Origin Trail. As the market goes down during this big crash, origin trail was going up. I'm like, that's been one of my, one of my top picks for the last year is origin trail. About that one. I you had mentioned it a couple of times before, so I'm gonna have to look it up after the show. I feel like they have private investors or something going on there where where they have negotiated some money going into their coin. And but, also, they're doing a lot of AI projects in all different sectors. So, I love OriginTrail short term and long term, so that's that's a good one to have.
[00:30:31] Unknown:
What do you think the, the total market caps can end up being in 2026?
[00:30:37] Unknown:
I'm feeling like 10,000,000,000,000. I know that sounds nuts. I feel like that is going to come during a bull run. Right? That doesn't mean it's gonna sustain it 10,000,000,000. Or, I'm sorry, 10,000,000,000,000. But, yeah, I'm feeling like we're gonna hit that 10 mark in 2026. So What's the market cap on it now? I think we're at 3,600,000,000,000.0 today. So here here's the here's something to look at too. If we look at where we were at the June, the June, the market cap for the crypto market wasn't even $3,000,000,000,000. So we're sitting at 3.6.
So we've made some progress even though the market's down. So when the market's down and you're still in somewhat of a green area, it's a good thing. It is. So we just have to be patient with it. It's growing slowly, but surely.
[00:31:27] Unknown:
We'll get there eventually, I think. I I I you know, it's, it's just it's just a crazy time right now. It it's Yeah. With, there's a lot of instability around the world. Even though, like like you said, you know, Donald Trump did has done greatly the peace president. You know, he's brought he's brought an end to eight conflicts around the world so far. He's working on number nine right now, with, with, Ukraine and, and Russia. And, I don't know. I think I think it might be close to getting that one settled too. I I Mhmm. Something in my gut tells me that, sometime probably before the end of next month, we'll we'll have an end to to that conflict, which is fine. And and, I I I it never should have started in the first place. I I I agree with him on that.
I I just wish that we weren't involved the way we were involved the way we are involved. You see, I get accused of being an isolationist. I'm not an isolationist. I'm I'm really not. I I believe what our founding generation said, you know, peace and commerce with all, entangling alliances with none. And I don't think that we should that that that's not an isolationist view. That's a non interventionist view. When and I think they're they're two very different things. So I agree that, you know, we we could be in agreement with trade and in peace, but we should not be part of things like NATO, we should not be part of things like, all these other organizations like the United Nations. We don't need to be part of any of these things. We can easily stand on our our own and have trade and do fine.
You know? We shouldn't be involved in all this stuff because look at the distraction that it is. Yeah. The things going on here at home. No. For sure. And, you know,
[00:33:10] Unknown:
I I talk about ego a lot, and there's a lot of people leading these countries with huge egos, huge egos. And when you're dealing with somebody that has a big ego, you know, are they gonna make the best decision? Mhmm. No. Probably not. It's gonna be like, oh, no. You insulted me. I'm gonna take you out. You know, you get a lot of that. And, you know, a lot of these guys that that, I'm not gonna mention names, but a lot of these guys that are presidents of countries and, you know, dictators or whatever, they're all short. They all got Napoleon syndrome. Seriously. They are. And, you know, there's these short little powerful guys that are just, like, all angry, and it's just like, come on, man. Like, just stop.
[00:33:51] Unknown:
Yeah. No. I I I get you. I I I because I I look at at, the picture of Donald Trump standing with Zelensky yesterday at the White House, and, you know, Donald Trump's a big guy. You know? Yeah. Yeah. He's six foot something. And, you know, Zelensky is his little twerp.
[00:34:06] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. So is Putin. You you both of the Vladivairs, they're these short little guys with the same first name. I'm like, come on. You guys already have something in common. Let's just stop. Right? Yeah. Oh, exactly. Yeah. But but again but back to the point of of being it's like, you know, it it's it is it's a distraction.
[00:34:23] Unknown:
Because here we are, we're involved in all of these things around the world. We're we're we have military installations in in a in a 100 plus countries around the world. We're spending all this money in foreign aid and support. Like I said, we just gave Argentina $40,000,000,000 last week. You know, we're sending out all of these resources when all can you imagine what it would be like here in These United States if all of the money that we sent overseas and all of the effort that we put into rebuilding countries overseas were was were devoted here as opposed to that? Just imagine what a wonderful place this this this these, These United States would be Mhmm. If we weren't wasting our time and money over there.
You know, the American people are struggling. You see it in the markets. The stock market, just as as just as volatile as the crypto market. You know, if, I think right now the crypto market took a bigger hit than than the stock market did. But but, you know, all of those things are affect home, and we need I think we really need to start pulling back from the world stage. So go do what you gotta let them take care of themselves. Yeah. They're they're all still heavily dependent upon The United States, and it shouldn't be. We cannot afford it anymore.
[00:35:44] Unknown:
Yeah. You you know We never could. When I think when Trump came into office, everything was so much of a mess overseas with everything. Trade deficits, wars. I mean, it is just it's been it was chaos. And so this is the year of fixing things, laying the groundwork. And, ultimately, when there's world peace, then there's gonna be a lot more trade. And he's negotiated a lot of stuff in our advantage for trading purposes, and that will eventually trickle down into the economy. I think that's the way that he's kind of looking at it. And, you know, it's great and all, but it's still it's just not fast. You know? It's just not fast enough.
[00:36:26] Unknown:
No. I it's kinda it's kinda like, like, the an the analogy I like to use is, like, look one of those big cruise ships. You know? You know? Those things don't stop on a dime. Yeah. You know? If they're gonna stop, it takes miles and miles and miles for them to slow down enough where they can stop and turn around and go back. Mhmm. Same thing with with with the country, same thing with the economy. You know, the Biden administration wrecked the economy and the reputation of this country around the world in in less than four years, and it's gonna take time to to fix all these things.
Totally get it. Totally understand that. But at the same time,
[00:37:04] Unknown:
when you're looking to decide whether, like, we were talking before, I said, I I don't know. I'm trying to think of what I what I have in the house that I could sell just so I can pay a bill. You know? It's and yet we're just going to needs that are not being met for sure. Absolutely. Exactly. Exactly. You don't when you cut out so many benefits, to the people, that's when things get a little bit sketchy, I I think. I think that they need to look more so at, like, you know, where their spending is, and they did. They started out with that. They started out with Doge looking at everything, and, I don't know. Everything's just a mess. So I'm just kinda like, alright. Focus on yourself. Focus on your business. Do what you can to help yourself right now.
Get some investments under your belt because things will turn around, and, it'll it just takes a little bit of time, and it's taking more time, you know, than maybe we all anticipated. We all anticipated, you know, he would get in the office and things would turn around a lot faster. He does need to focus more of his energy on The US. And when you look at all these states, you know, and the governors he's going up against, I mean, he's going up against battle after battle after battle after battle, so it's not easy.
We just have to give this a little bit more time.
[00:38:16] Unknown:
I yeah. I I understand that. I appreciate that. I can very easily. I'm sorry. I'm trying to open up a window here, and it's not letting me. Yeah. Okay. So I want to open up this thing on, I have an article that I sent you a link to on tempo. And, I wanted to ask you a little bit about that. Like, what exactly is Tempo? And, my my email is not working. Like, I said, I'm having an issue here with with with the web. But, No. It's okay.
[00:38:43] Unknown:
So So Tempo is Stripe's layer one blockchain that they're going to be using to process credit card payments. And it's gonna compete with Circle, which is cool, because you don't want Circle to dominate everything. But Stripe is huge. And so, you know, when you process transactions on the blockchain, you pay less per transaction, which is awesome. It settles pretty fast, which is good. And it's a public it's on the public ledger. So, I I think it's great. I think I love that Stripe is doing that, and I think that we're gonna see more and more of that with payment processing and and things going more on the blockchain just because, it's just easier to keep track of. It's cheaper and it's faster. So
[00:39:23] Unknown:
Do you think it's do you think this is a game changer?
[00:39:26] Unknown:
I think it's the beginning of of it being a game changer for sure.
[00:39:30] Unknown:
That's interesting. I got I I wanna I wanna, like, kinda read into more of this a little bit. And like I said, I was trying to pull the article up, it's not coming up for me. But another thing that we were talking about too is, and I sent you a link to this one as well, is something very interesting going on overseas. And I'm curious as to how it's gonna affect banking in the future Mhmm. And how it's gonna affect world markets, especially with within the crypto community. And that's, Japan. Japan's, Japan's three largest banks are planning to jointly issue a yen pegged stablecoin.
Mhmm. And, what I mean, what do you think about that? I mean, do you agree that this this could be something that, that we're looking at few a future in banking? Or do you think this is something that they're doing just to because their their their yen is is not very stable right now. It's on a very, very big downturn, in value. So do you think this is a an attempt for them to save it? Or do you think this is something that they're doing to, you know, that that could potentially become the model for banking in the future?
[00:40:37] Unknown:
I think this is their attempt to save it. You can't blame them for trying. Good for them. I had somebody ask in my Patreon group, and I I did this in my mid month update this month, about the Japanese yen. And it's not something that I follow. So I'm like, alright. I'm just gonna, like, tap into this intuitively. I still see the Japanese yen going down in value even with this in place. I think it's gonna take some time to recover for sure. I do think there's a good chance it will recover, but there's also a chance it could be replaced with something else. So something's going on with the Japanese yen where it is just on a downward spiral for sure. So, you know, it's one of those let's wait and see what happens with with the yen. I'm not, like, an expert in currencies, or the Japanese yen for that matter, but that's kinda what I got, like, intuitively as they're trying to save it. It's on a downward spiral for sure. So
[00:41:30] Unknown:
That's interesting. And, of course, you know, talking about stablecoins. I I'm very interested in stablecoins. I've been I've been looking at a few of them, and, you know, some of these stablecoins, you know, they offer interest
[00:41:42] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[00:41:43] Unknown:
On, on your investment. And in some cases, they're they're they're actually higher than what you would get in, like, a because, you know, like like something like PayPal, they they have their own stable coin, and they also have, a savings account that you could put your money into, your cash into. And, I think they pay, like, 3.8% interest on the on the cash, but it looks like their stablecoin actually pays a a little bit of a higher interest rate. And, and I was reading about this thing, a stablecoin chain. Now what exactly is a Stablecoin chain?
[00:42:20] Unknown:
So it's a blockchain that processes Stablecoin transactions.
[00:42:24] Unknown:
Okay. Now why do you think that this is get because I I'm seeing a lot more of it. So why do you think this is getting getting more popular? Is it because of the volatility?
[00:42:33] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. You know, probably the most stable crypto in terms of price is Bitcoin just because there's so much money in it. So it's kinda like one of those things where if you don't want your investment to go up too much or too down, you're gonna go with Bitcoin. But, like, what is the other options other than Bitcoin? So everybody's, like, releasing their their own stable coin. And it trades at a dollar for a dollar, but there's usually fees associated with each transaction, so that's how they make their money on it. There are for me, stable coins are very, it's like a temporary investment. Like, so when the bull run comes, I'll be converting some of my portfolio into a stable coin temporarily for a short period of time, and then I'll be converting it back into cryptos that I wanna buy. Right?
That's just to retain the value. I will not hold any significant money that I have in a stable coin for a long period of time, And I'm not sure why I feel like this. It's just like an intuitive feeling. And I'm not trying to scare anybody, but I've always had a fear that of, like, deep pegging, and I don't even know if that's a thing. I'm not an expert in stable coins, but, like, what if for some reason, some like, the backing of that stable coin just went away? And I don't know why I feel like that could happen. And it could be something catastrophic for some people, and that's why I just don't totally trust it. So that's why I'm like, stablecoins for me would just be a temporary move.
[00:44:05] Unknown:
I gotcha. It's a it it's it's again, it's something I was looking at for myself, my own portfolio, just to, kinda look looking for the higher interest rate. But then again, like you said, there's a lot of fees attached to the stable coin. And it it so whatever you're making really in the interest on it, you're just paying it out in fees. Totally. So it's it's so it's it's a gamble, I guess. And either way, however you go about it. Again, not financial advice, invest at your own risk. I I should put the banner up again just in case Yeah. There you go. There we go. Not financial advice, invest at your own risk. Mhmm. But, but this is a lot of great information, to to carry into. So any, any, anything on the on the horizon that's really catching your attention that we should be paying attention to?
[00:44:52] Unknown:
You know what I really have liked recently is Cardano. I feel like Cardano is gonna be a really good long term winner, and it just went down in the 60¢ range. Hold on. Let me look it up. Where are we at with Cardano? C a o. Yeah. C it's, c a r d a n o. 63¢ a coin. I feel like this is a great thing to have it a great crypto to have in your portfolio. I feel like they're gonna do some interesting innovative things in the future, and 63¢ is a steal. I mean, I got into it years ago in, like, the 30¢ range. So I kinda stopped buying it. And then when it dropped down to 60¢, I'm like, you know what? I think I'm gonna add a little bit more. Why not? So there's a lot more growth with Cardano.
Solana is solid. So I've been asked over and over what cryptos would you have if, let's say, you wanna put your kid through college. Let's say you want a dollar cost average into the market right now. Put a little bit of money every month into a couple different cryptos where you plan on holding it for, let's say, ten years. What would you pick? So you really have to be strategic with this because not all these cryptos are gonna be around. There's gonna be a lot that fade out. In a case like that, I would, dollar cost average into Bitcoin for sure.
Ethereum, Solana is absolutely one I would dollar cost average into. Cardano, I feel like, is gonna be around. Chainlink's a good one.
[00:46:21] Unknown:
I've seen Chainlink some play. I think I think you can get that through through PayPal too. They they offer that. Is is Chainlink new, or is that something that's been around for good? No. It's been around forever. It's like an oracle blockchain,
[00:46:34] Unknown:
and they're involved in so many different projects. And I believe their CEO is part of something that having to do with the government, like the cryptos are or something like that. I don't know the exact term offhand, but he's very much involved with setting the crypto standards, you know, with the government. So I like that. What else do I like in here? Let's see. Let me take a look. I love Algorand. Of course, Algorand. I'm I'm gonna Algorand's a layer one. They're solid. They're gonna be around for a long time. Let's see here.
You kinda wanna stay in the top cryptos if you're looking, like, ten years from now because these are the projects that are gonna be around for many, many years to come. SUI's okay. SUI's not gonna SUI's been so underperforming this year, though, but I do feel they'll be around. BNB, I like BNB too. That's Binance's coin. I like them. They'll be around. So
[00:47:39] Unknown:
Gotta give a quick shout out here. Hey, Jake, thank you so much for, for liking the show and sharing. I'd appreciate that. So, try to do that whenever I can. You know? Sounds good. Yeah. Yeah. It's always great. I appreciate it. So what else you got for us before we, start to wrap this baby up?
[00:48:02] Unknown:
Just hold tight because things are coming for the market. You know, one of the things that we can do is put out positive energy. And, you know, manifestation is a real thing. You know, when you scroll on on TikTok or YouTube, I like scrolling and watching shorts sometimes a little bit before bed. And you just, like, put in manifestation. And they they have all kinds of different unique tech techniques that you can do, envisioning yourself already being wealthy, envisioning your portfolio going up. I mean, there's something legit to it. And And I wanna tell you something interesting that happened to me last night. Right. So I was on YouTube. I'm liking scrolling on YouTube a little bit. It's sort of like a newer thing. I mean, I have I put my videos on YouTube, but I don't really use it a whole lot. And I was scrolling through the YouTube shorts.
And I said to myself, god, send me a message. Because sometimes I get, like, I follow different people on there that do, like, daily collectives, and they give you, like, a message from the universe. I'm like, I want a message from you. Right? The next message that I see, I'm gonna assume is a message from Udemy. And guess what came up? Go to mass. Really? Yeah. So that's what I'm gonna do tonight. I'm I'm not even Catholic, and I'm just gonna go to mass tonight. So whatever. Yeah. No. Interesting. Yeah. Try it. It's it's actually really interesting. Just try it. See see what comes up on your algorithm. Say just say, god, give me a message. What what do you want me to hear? And the next significant message that comes up. I mean, you know, of course, you're gonna, excuse me, like, scroll through other things where, like, let's say you like dogs, and there'll be, like, a dog, you know, video or something like that. That's not the message. Like, a significant message. You'll know it when you hear it. It's interesting. It's funny because as you're telling that, I'm thinking to myself, man, if I did that right now, what would pop up in my YouTube,
[00:49:45] Unknown:
algorithm there? And it would probably be, like, some kind of a reaction video to something because, I don't know, I've been watching these reaction videos and, to to to, you know, stuff, music that I like, particularly, because I I wanna see the the younger generation's, reactions to some of those music that I like. Mhmm. And, so so that that's been quite entertaining, to to be honest with you. And, so I'm I'm pretty sure that if I did that right now, it'd be some Pink Floyd reaction video would pop up at first. But, that's interesting, though. That that's that's so so so it it told you to go to church. Mhmm. Which I think is a really, really good message.
[00:50:24] Unknown:
You know, one of the things that I I took a look at was Erica Kirk's, Twitter or x account or whatever. And shortly after everything happened with with her husband, she had a simple message that she posted on x, and it was go to church. And I thought to myself, that's a great message. It really, really is. And so I reposted that. And I don't follow her, like, closely or anything like that. It was just something I kinda took a look at after that horrible tragedy. Yeah. So but I, you know, I've gotten that message a couple times now. I'm like, alright. I really need to get back to church. So that's what I'm doing today. You sure all should be listening to my Sunday show. Oh, yeah. Your Bible study. Yes, ma'am. For sure. I will. We just finished last week, I finished,
[00:51:07] Unknown:
a seven a seven week study in through through the book of Proverbs. Not obviously, not verse by verse or chapter by chapter. It's 30 chapter 31 chapters in Proverbs. So, but I did seven I did seven shows on on on Proverbs from wisdom from Proverbs. And, so I had asked the audience, which direction they wanted to go next, and I gave them two options. And, so far, what I've gotten back was they wanna go into, dispensations. And so I'm gonna be starting to teach a series on dispensations starting tomorrow. So that should be very interesting. And all dispensation is is just a period of time, how God deals with man during a specific period of time. And, there are several of them throughout your bible as you study it and as you read it and you you look at it, you can obvious once you know what you're looking for, you can actually see the the obvious changeovers, and some of them overlap, and so it's it's it's complex.
But it's gonna be really interesting. I've taught this, before. I taught this as a bible study in my in my church, a number of years ago, so I already have the lessons already prepared. So it's just a matter of going through and refreshing, you know, before the show tomorrow. I'll be doing that later today. So while you're in mass and church, I will be sitting here reading my bible and studying and prepping for tomorrow's show. So, if you can check it out, that'd be great. 03:00.
[00:52:28] Unknown:
Absolutely. I'll check it out. Yeah. 02:00. You know what I'll do? One of the things that I love to do in my spare time is I love to listen to podcasts. So I don't always have time to, like, sit and actually watch a video, But I know, Joe, for anybody that doesn't know, he's also on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music. So you can just go in there, type in Joe Russo, and you can listen to these podcasts so you don't have to actually watch it on Rumble.
[00:52:52] Unknown:
That's right. And that that would be great too because I would love to see the numbers increase. My my numbers on on Apple, believe it or not, are really good, cons compared to to the other platforms that I'm on. Like, I don't get a lot of traction on Spotify, which I don't really expect because I don't have a, you know, I don't have a big marketing team, and Spotify seems is is very, very polished. It's, you know, for the for the independent creators, it's very, very hard to get any traction on on Spotify. Amazon Music also, I've I've noticed that I've I've gotten a little bit of an uptick on on the Amazon Music platform, which was I thought it was wild, and I had no idea that I was on Pandora.
[00:53:32] Unknown:
I didn't I didn't know that much. You find out. You don't even know you're on Pandora until you realize you're on Pandora.
[00:53:37] Unknown:
Yeah. I found I found that out. I had a friend of mine tell me, hey. You know, I I I your show came up as as as something I might be interested in on Pandora. I said, I'm Pandora. Since when? I didn't know I was on there. But also I I like to to I like to direct folks to this to these smaller podcast platforms. Those and I can I talk about them as modern podcast apps like Podcast Guru, fountain.fm, truefans.fm? Mhmm. There's so many of them. And one of the reasons why I like those, and this should be interesting to to folks in the in the crypto communities, because, through those modern podcast apps, if you have a crypto wallet, you can connect your crypto wallet with those apps.
And if you're listening to a show that that you really like, you could actually send boosts. Oh, that's cool. And you could send, you know, through crypto. And and, it's mostly connected with Bitcoin. So you'd they would you would be sending over, like, Sats or Satoshis, which which, you know, is just a micropayment of Bitcoin. Mhmm. It's really it's when you think about it, it's really just like pennies, to be honest with you. It's, I think I think 10 Satoshis I think I think a 100 Satoshis is like 10¢ or something like that. Mhmm. So, but that's but that's neat too because you could do it in live time because the show is being streamed live.
Mhmm. And so, you know, if somebody I I don't have it set up where I can monitor it like that, but, you can do it where you actually see the live interactions. If somebody does make a contribution, send you a boost or something like that through that, you could do it. And the other thing too with these a lot of these, platforms, I think I know Fountain does it, True Fans does it. I'm not sure about the other ones, but you actually earn Satoshis by listening to the podcast. Interesting. So that that's pretty it's pretty neat. It is pretty neat. So that's why I like I like to encourage folks to go to those modern podcast apps so you can check these things out. And, some of the I I mention them all the time, the ones that I I use the most, the ones that I really like because and the user interface on these things are beautiful. I mean, they are just, like, artful. You know, they're just beautiful.
Fountain and and Podcast Guru, those are the two that I use the most. Very, very little, little problems with those things. Very, very rarely do I even have a buffering issue with those things. They are they're just fantastic apps, and they were very well designed, and they keep getting better. And I think you can set up through Fountain, you can set up a a Nostr account as well, and, which is neat. It's like a it's like a messaging platform. So it's, it's it's pretty neat. I like it. And and I I tried tried to direct folks there. And I'm seeing a little bit of an increase in the use on those. The more I mentioned it, the more I'm seeing some increases on them, and those are great. And, you know, there there's just so many options. You can find us everywhere. There's a point. It's we are just all over the place. You can even go to the web my website, joeroos.com, and you and on the player, which is provided to us by Podholm, there's a drop down. You can scroll through every episode that I put out, and they're all right there. I don't have to have a separate page for it, and saves a lot of, bandwidth and all that stuff. So, there's a lot of ways to find the show. You could do that. You can also find Marissa Lee on her website, Sacred Tarot Card Readings also, u.com, and also on her patch Patreon, which is Crypto psychic. Crypto psychic. Right. It I don't know why I cannot get that out of my out of the from the brain to the mouth. I can't put that out for some reason. Like, I I hear it rolling around up there like a like a hamster in a cage. That's okay. But, patreon.com/cryptopsychic, you can check her out there.
All of the links for, Marissa will be in the show notes, and they already are on the video side. The audio side will be up shortly after the show is released. I do have to probably edit something because I there was a bit of a a hiccup with the, my, my encoder when I started it. So I'm probably gonna have to rip the audio from the video and re reupload it. But so it might be a little delayed on the upload for this for the show later on, but it'll be up there by the end of today. And, let's say our resident crypto sidekick, Marissa, what else do you have for us before we say adios for the day?
[00:57:53] Unknown:
Get some more Algorand. Get some more Cardano. Get some more Origin Trail. That's my message to everybody. And everything's gonna be okay. Just hold tight. Things will start to improve significantly. We're just in this little, like, downward spiral right now, but it'll get better. I promise it'll better. It'll get better very soon. So In my in my head, I keep on seeing Mel Gibson,
[00:58:17] Unknown:
from Braveheart with the half blue face telling the guys to hold, you know, while the British were charging. So, yeah, hold the line, folks. Hold the line. Don't give up. Don't don't bail out. Stick with it. Ride out the storm. And I think you're right. I think I think I think we're gonna see some really good returns very, very soon on these investments that we make.
