[00:02] [ __ ] me right away.  What do you expect from the market?  If we're talking about investing specifically in the crypto sector, it's like shaving hamsters.  Next we breed grandmothers. will live for some time.  For example, my grandmother doesn’t do crypto, she plays and bets on
[00:16] black.  In general, the mining business is a normal topic for us.  This is pure vomit with glory, which is absolutely, well, impossible to deal with.  I'm sick and tired of this business, to be honest, because it's dangerous and we'll all, uh, get [ __ ] by the
[00:30] Terminator.  This is not what we were going for.  Eh, and it shouldn't be like this at all.  Write in the comments if I'm really [ __ ] up or if there's another way to live.  Such a complicated question, damn.  Tomorrow you will be put on all fours and [ __ ] for all your available
[00:45] [music] [applause] [applause] [music] Today is a new podcast, the second one today.  My guest is a representative of
[01:03] the largest and oldest Russian-language the largest and oldest Russian-language media company, ProBlockchain. We have known Slava Nosko for a long time.  That was one of the first people that, ah, was on my
[01:15] podcast.  And today my guest is, uh, Maxim, co-founder of ProBlockchain. Max, I welcome you.  Thank you very much for coming.  Let's start with, uh, something banal. Please tell us about yourself, introduce yourself.  For those who suddenly don't
[01:31] know you.  My name is Max.  The same thing, basically, as everyone else.  I guess I was involved in some kind of business, some different topics from a fairly early age, and then crypto came up , and Slava and I somehow quickly
[01:45] figured it out and created this media outlet called Pro Blockchain.  But ah-ah, the story is interesting, because we were actually a little prepared for this thing, because the first thing we did when we started getting acquainted with YouTube in general was, for some reason,
[02:01] Slava and I decided that producing guys in the gaming producing guys in the gaming industry, well, like this whole gaming thing, streaming, gaming - it's a really cool story.  This
[02:14] was absolutely not our area of ​​expertise, but we decided that for some reason we could make money on this without doing any research or anything.  We produced young guys for a year, created all these YouTube channels and social networks.  And it didn't take off
[02:27] because for us it was pure vomit with glory , which was absolutely, well, impossible to do, it wasn't interesting for us.  And then we re-qualified ourselves as ProBlockchain because, uh, we were interested in crypto in 2016.  And
[02:41] interested in crypto in 2016.  And from that moment on, we're kind of getting into crypto, into blockchain, developing media, and slowly investing, farming, and trading ourselves.  Well, in general, like everything has been for a long time, in short, the mammoths are so old and already fighting.
[02:55] key areas on which you spend your main resources, time and energy?  How do you make money?  We are developing everything related to media, one way or another, because this is, as it were,
[03:09] our main, understandable business model, to which we are already accustomed.  And we understand how it works, how it works.  That is, pro-blockchain is a crypto direction.  Now we have also launched a parallel one, it is called
[03:23] extreme sports, cars, and so on, because the target audience is similar: men 24+ are also interested in this topic. And it seems to me that these people can then be easily onboarded into crypto.  In
[03:39] short, we break down media, increase social capital, build a subscriber base on all possible platforms, and sell advertising.  This is one of the main directions, so to speak, in the media.  And, naturally, we also have our
[03:54] closed community there.  Well, I don’t mean to avoid advertising, there is a closed community, many guys who work in crypto, I guess.  And most importantly, what we're focused on in terms of self-development is investing our funds
[04:11] in DeFi.  We really like farming on Uniswap, we really like placing in different liquidity pools, we really like using different
[04:23] protocols.  Uh, well, basically, that's how we make money.  To summarize, this is media, this is a closed community and the placement of personal funds in the DFI the placement of personal funds in the DFI protocol.  Listen, you mentioned
[04:38] trading.  What do you do in relation to trading?  Ah, that's a good question.  We are not traders like, well, like you, I guess.  That is, we don’t have a situation where we constantly enter into certain positions.  We chose the
[04:51] certain positions.  We chose the DCA dollar cost average direction for ourselves.  We've identified a portion of the budget that we're willing to buy crypto for, regardless of the market price.  And we just do it all the time.  From about 2 won a year,
[05:05] we accumulate fundamental assets. Basically, it's Bitcoin, Ethereum, and some other things Basically, it's Bitcoin, Ethereum, and some other things like Polygon, BNB, Layer Zero, and
[05:18] Polka, well, a lot of everything, mainly a layer 2 solution, something from the 2 solution, something from the NFT sector.  Here's DCA, I think, it's the most understandable, and the most suitable tool for guys who are just
[05:31] understand how it works.  In my opinion, DC is the perfect story to get to know.  And the most important thing is not to fall head over heels into a pole right away.  In any case, they will live for some time, then there will be a barbell.  Have you had any experience
[05:46] trading futures on your own? Of course, as soon as I open a position, I'll get Of course, as soon as I open a position, I'll get [ __ ] right away.  So I go long, it falls, corrects, I go short, everything goes up.  Trading is
[06:01] not really my thing.  Well, I don't know to some extent how successful a trader he is, given that we don't really communicate, but for me, trading is a tough story because I'm constantly losing money.   First of all
[06:15] , well, I lack, you know, self-control.  If I lost some money there, I opened a long position, shaved off the money, and then I want to open a short position to recoup the losses, and then I shave off the money.  Well, in short, I’m something of a trader.
[06:30] I have a slightly different topic.  I analyze pools, I have more of an analytical mind.  I'll have to dig into the API data, APR.  I like this better.  I understand.  Listen, I'd like to talk to you about your expectations and
[06:46] how you envision the year that has already begun, 2025.  Perhaps in terms of regulation, perhaps in terms of some fundamental changes.  What do you
[06:58] fundamental changes.  What do you expect from the market, and what key changes do you think we might see in 2025?  Because, see in 2025?  Because, in my opinion, 2025 is a year of
[07:11] colossal changes.  And not only in crypto, but in completely different sectors.  And if we talk about crypto, then I think there will be stricter regulations here, filling the existing gaps that currently exist
[07:27] in the same legislation, uh, Russian.  By and large, apart from mining, this is one big gap.  What do you expect in 2025, specifically in the Russian-speaking world? What key changes do you anticipate and
[07:43] think are most likely to occur?  Well, first of all, that's a good question.   There will definitely be some clear regulation and control over income from cryptocurrency, including
[07:58] trading, long-term investments, and so on.  We will watch how this changes, because here is a clear example. In the Republic of Belarus, legislation and regulation of cryptocurrency circulation have already
[08:14] existed for quite some time, in the high-tech park there.  And in fact, as practice has shown, this is not bad, this is practice has shown, this is not bad, this is good.  As for my view of the market, in fact, what's happening now, right now, as we're recording
[08:27] right now, as we're recording this podcast, the Bitcoin correction, the draining of altcoins, and so on, I'm just noticing that, again, this is based on my personal feelings, no investment advice there, but it seems to me that there's
[08:41] nowhere left to simply shave the hamsters.  Well, because what is the main problem?  Ah, no offense.  uh hamsters.  I just call these retail investors who came into the market inexperienced.  And everyone wants that everyone wants quick money.  Well, as always,
[08:56] come to the market, buy something, earn money.  Mostly they go to the volt, you probably noticed that.  And practically no retail has Bitcoin.  And we see how the no retail has Bitcoin.  And we see how the narrative is changing.  And right now, exactly like this, they are
[09:08] frying bitcoins with institutional investors and doing interesting fundamental things.  This has nothing to do with hamsters and retail investors.  What's happening now?   They just throw everyone out into the smoke.
[09:24] Bitcoin capitalization is 60%.  The altos are already below the baseboard and they have not grown any more.  I do n't even know how many years.  And it seems to me that in the near future, well, this year, we will see a reversal.  Well, in my opinion, it hasn't happened yet.
[09:40] So this year, it seems to me that twenty-fifth, then twenty-sixth - twenty-fifth, then twenty-sixth - this is a very interesting time, for which we have been preparing for a long time.  Ku-ku, I have an offer for you that
[09:53] you're guaranteed to find nothing like in the Russian-language trading segment.  Today, you access to my ProMarket community, which is a powerful infrastructure for traders, from an educational academy and proprietary
[10:07] indicators to my public buying on various exchanges.  What's included in my free ProMarket public community ?  This is a trading academy on a separate platform.  Nine modules and more than 60 lessons.  Notes for each lesson
[10:21] homework.  Two indicator screeners, a 15-minute one for scalping and a 4-hour one for more positional trading, analyze the market and provide trades on over 100 coins.  And according to winraid's monthly
[10:34] 100 coins.  And according to winraid's monthly statistics, more than 75% of transactions are profitable.   There's Bitget, which is consistently profitable over time, and a moderated community chat with trading and
[10:47] free Win-Win basis on the CIS market .  There are various perks: bonuses, infrastructure with various areas of training, trading, and real passive income through copy trading.  Since I'm not a fanatic of just
[11:02] one exchange, I offer free access by trading on any of the top three exchanges using my affiliate link.  These are the Bybet exchange, the OKX exchange and Bitget. Trade whatever you like.  My community is
[11:15] a model that, in terms of its value and content, gives a head start to 99% of paid VIPs. This is a fact.  Without exaggeration or understatement of reality.  To get free access to my ProMarket community, follow the link
[11:29] in the description to join the bot.  Listen, what are your general expectations for the market, plus or minus, in the local medium-term picture for the next 1, 2-3 months, let's say?  What do you think about the current market environment?  Do
[11:43] you believe in Bitcoin at 140 or maybe half a million dollars, or do you accept and see a high probability that the reversal has already occurred, or do you, as a professional investor, simply have plan A, plan B, and any of them
[11:58] will suit you?  I actually have one plan.  You noticed correctly. If we're talking about investing specifically in the crypto sector—and, of course, let's be clear, we invest diversified.  It's not
[12:12] just cryptocurrency, so we're not all in.  There is real estate in crypto, there are some currency investments, some stocks, and so on.  But if we talk about the fundamental than Bitcoin .  And my main goal
[12:27] in investing in crypto is, firstly, I have traction there for at least 3-5 years, I’m watching this market.  And my main goal is to increase the amount of Bitcoin in my portfolio .  No altcoins, no mimcoins, nothing.  Therefore, no matter how the
[12:42] picture develops, I will increase the bitcoin. Why am I doing this?  A very simple explanation.  And Bitcoin is an asset today, and I can use it as collateral for a loan in protocols such as AV and compound loans.  That
[12:58] is, I can put in Bitcoin there as collateral , for example, 100,000 dollars. And for the security of 100,000 dollars of Bitcoin, I can take 50,000 USDT.
[13:10] loan and there I will pay half a percent or 1% per annum for spend this money to buy back some assets, to spend it on
[13:22] some things I need, and so on.  Therefore, I consider all crypto assets only from the point of view of whether they can be used for anything other than market speculation.  And this is a very cool point, which, unfortunately, a
[13:38] large number of retail investors do not know and do not understand.  For many of you, mandatory KYC verification on exchanges is a rather sensitive topic. So today I want to recommend you a centralized exchange where
[13:51] you can trade and perform any operations without KYC.  This is the Blowfen exchange. Blowfen was founded in 2019, and currently offers over 300 futures contracts on the platform, with fees significantly lower than the average fees
[14:05] on top centralized exchanges.  The exchange offers some very generous bonuses for my community, including a 15% cashback on your first deposit. You can find the link to register on the exchange in the description of this video, and follow the same
[14:19] link to get information about cashback and all other bonuses.  Good luck!  And which, uh, sectors, perhaps in the fortress or just some directions, ideas do you consider
[14:32] the most toxic at the moment, perhaps scammer-like, because 24th year was distinguished for us simply, in my opinion, by the culmination and epoch of Scam, and of the most diverse kind, yes, and yes, and not only in
[14:47] crypto.  And there is a feeling that there is some kind of moral boundary between what done.   Is it already erased or is it completely missing?  I certainly think it's a matter of time.  Everyone is launching their own memes,
[15:02] be it little-known or famous bloggers, or even Ronaldinho, who just came out with some news today.  Yes, yes.  What's happening now in the cryptocurrency market is, in my opinion, a complete fiasco.  This is not what we were going for.  And it shouldn't
[15:17] be like this at all.  And I think that Mimcoin is the purest evil that purest evil that exists.  And any memecoin, even one issued by Trump, is designed to shave off the hamster.  That is, the average
[15:30] retail investor has no chance of making money, it simply doesn’t exist.  Well, that is, it’s like winning the jackpot, probably in some super lottery.  That probably in some super lottery.  That is, you will be rejected either by bots, or by
[15:44] some rackpool, or by some of your favorite influencers, and so on.  That is, the probability of making money there is negligible.  So, ah, I can definitely say that if you come to the market and your
[15:58] goal is to make some quick money, there are no quick money left in crypto.  All quick money left in crypto.  All this is not 2017, er, not 2018. Now you can only make money here by playing this
[16:11] game for the long term, with some kind of fundamental approach, and not just trying to profit.  Anyone who comes to this market to make money will be annihilated.  Even young guys come there to
[16:24] trade, to engage in trading.  And I explain, guys, you understand, and on the other side of the screen there are professionals who have been doing this for a very long time, there are all sorts of algorithmic traders, some bots there, well, and
[16:41] They see your positions, most importantly, and the positions of all other traders. I was just saying today that this is what is happening now, this is this hellish razor.  Now I've cut off all the longists.
[16:55] Just this morning there were liquidations of 258 million dollars in one hour. All the guys who were standing long were all shaved off .  Who sees first all the .  Who sees first all the
[17:10] short?  The stock exchanges see this perfectly well. Of course.  Plus, plus, the exchanges have huge capital, which can allow them to move the market up or down as needed.  Well, here is the answer to the question of how you can make money in this market without
[17:25] experience.  This is very difficult.  So fundamental things are exactly what Listen, I have a very interesting question for you , you know, political dash geopolitical dash economic.  as one of the most important, a, harbingers of a
[17:42] one of the most important, a, harbingers of a real market boom this spring.  I am one of engage in manual trading, I am an algorithmist.  And one of the most important harbingers of a potential bull market, both in the spring and perhaps in the summer, is a
[17:56] truly significant factor that could bring a huge amount of liquidity into the market and multiply it, perhaps even more than once, is the perhaps even more than once, is the creation of a reserve in crypto,
[18:10] in Bitcoin, in the United States of America. Because, as if, if this story is realized, and we seem to be moving towards it , and the statements are happening, happening , happening, and they have a clear vector, which is directed precisely, uh, towards
[18:24] this intermediate, so to speak, goal. And it is obvious that countries of the first, second and third divisions, especially those of the third division, will follow exactly the same path and will also create reserves in the fortress. And this will attract even more
[18:41] capital into the market, even more liquidity than the launch of the same ATF on Bitcoin that happened last year.  What do you think about this last year.  What do you think about this ?  Because, well, objectively this is a
[18:54] very, very, very bullish bullish story and how this can affect the market, how this can affect the market, because it seems to me that this is the most possible driver of potential growth, and
[19:06] global growth at that.  and long-term.  You've noticed correctly, the history here actually comes from afar.  If we look at how, uh, they prepared for this, well, like spot bitcoins, spot ethers TF,
[19:20] there are now spot ATF, Polkat, that is, uh, all fundamental assets, teffs will be issued for them, uh, that’s absolutely certain.  And then, following this, we
[19:33] now see an interesting amendment coming through the TEFU broadcast.  That is, the task now is to generate income not only from owning Ether itself, but also from staking it.  This is, well, doubly interesting for investors.  And that
[19:49] an asset can be staked and receive additional income, in addition to the fact that it can increase in price in the foreseeable future .  Regarding the news that is currently being discussed about
[20:08] certain reserves in Bitcoin, and this may not only be in Bitcoin, but in crypto assets in general.  This is a very powerful narrative.  I think that sooner or later it will come to its logical conclusion.  But I'm actually
[20:22] more interested in another question. And now the main task of the large players, the institutional ones, we will call them, although they already, I believe, have more than 20% of the emission of Bitcoin under their control, and a total of 21 million
[20:38] coins.  I think their main goal now is to take as much Bitcoin as possible from retailers and then play their big games.  Therefore, it is probably just a matter of time, and at what figure in the price of Bitcoin and the
[20:53] total capitalization of cryptocurrencies will we arrive at this event, which can then become a driver of growth there.  In fact, I'm really looking forward to it.  And the main task now is to act as Diamond Hands.  That is, these are diamond
[21:07] hands that don’t sell their crypto assets there, but accumulate them during some investment advice.  I'm just doing it myself now.  I think this is a very cool market driver.  And in general, uh, in the entire history of cryptocurrencies since
[21:26] 2016, I don’t remember anything more fundamental and powerful than what’s happening now.  I do n't remember anything like this happening.  If I can only what I personally use and what I believe in.  Since I'm not a fanatic of any
[21:41] one exchange and understand the risks that are ubiquitous in crypto, when it comes to choosing a platform for trading or other operations, I always talk about diversification and choosing only top global exchanges, such as
[21:54] OKx, the second-largest exchange in the world after Binance, which left Russia, BBIT, which consistently ranks among the top three global exchanges, or Bitget.  When you register on the BBET exchange using my affiliate link, you will receive a bonus of up to
[22:07] $30,000 on your first deposit.  By registering on the OKX exchange using our affiliate link, which you'll find in the description of this video, you'll receive the most favorable terms and bonuses. For example, all new users on OKx
[22:19] receive two secret boxes, each containing up to $50 worth of crypto , which you can earn by completing simple tasks like verification, making your first trade, and so on. For trading volume on the exchange, the exchange can
[22:31] reward you with a bonus of up to $60,000. When you register on the BitGet exchange, you can receive a bonus of up to $30,000 on your first deposit.  The link is also in the description.  All links are in the description below the video.  Register with the best
[22:45] conditions, claim bonuses, and trade on the most reliable platforms.  Good luck. Why do you think most people still don't understand the core technology of how blockchain works?  Despite the fact that these people
[22:59] believe that they are involved in crypto, that they are in crypto and so on.  Yes, this is actually a two-sided problem. Why do people come to this market? If we talk, I'm like, I'm not judging anyone, honestly.  And then young
[23:14] guys come in, who were working there before, selling masks, or something else during the get into crypto, try to make money, it's all great.  But, uh,
[23:26] if someone wants to thoroughly understand where they can, uh, where they can make money and where they can lose money, then they will definitely have to understand how DeFi works, because DeFi is the foundation of the fundamental
[23:43] principles of how blockchain works in general .  What is an automatic market maker there?  What are decentralized exchanges?  How do person does not have an understanding today of what this is, it is practically impossible to make money in the market
[23:57] .  Therefore, I believe that anyone entering the cryptocurrency market should take, so to speak, a beginner's course from A to Z and understand in general that it works.  This does not mean that you need to go
[24:10] courses.  All this is available on the Internet.  All this is shared.  Now there are crazy tools in the form of neurons that can actually communicate with him . There is no teacher or mentor better
[24:26] knows a lot and often says sensible things. The main thing is to learn to ask the right questions.  And now, of course, you can figure it out and understand how it all works.  That's why I believe that Defi in crypto is precisely this
[24:40] instrument through which we can see where institutional money will go .  I'll explain how to do this.  It's very simple. Now the ITFs have approved.  Everything is very cool. But the next point, where we go, where
[24:53] the money of large institutional investors goes, will be exactly the same for them as for institutional investors goes, will be exactly the same for them as for Slava and me and other such already savvy guys.  They will be interested in those sectors where they
[25:06] can take out loans and lend to themselves using their crypto assets as collateral which you can now pay attention to. In the AV and Compound protocols, not all
[25:20] assets can be put as collateral.  And it is precisely those assets that can be used as collateral and borrowed against that are precisely the sectors that make sense to pay attention to, where the wealth of
[25:35] large investors is most likely to flow.  Please pay attention to this .  This is a serious point, in my opinion. I understand you.  Listen, what, in your opinion, is the difficulty, uh, perhaps, in integrating various blockchain
[25:49] solutions into various existing government structures, primarily in Russia, because it seems like we're getting closer, yes, and moving towards some kind of regulation, but on the other hand, it's obvious that in our country there's no
[26:05] such bright green light for building a blockchain infrastructure in a wide variety of sectors, at a wide variety of governmental, and so on levels.  Well, it seems to me that in the foreseeable future
[26:20] this is a difficult story to implement, in fact .  Like integrating some kind of .  Like integrating some kind of third-party blockchain, like Ethereum, into third-party blockchain, like Ethereum, into some kind of government mechanisms.  This is
[26:34] practically impossible, because there are simply a large number of systemic risks there.  As we can see, the BYBIT exchange has now been hacked for 15 billion ether.  Someone is now dumping this ether into the market.  It is not clear who is doing this.
[26:50] Is this speculation or are they showing us some kind of performance, playing it out, yes, in order to shave off the hamsters once again.  Therefore, the answer is simple: integrating the blockchains that currently exist
[27:05] into government instruments is impossible, in my opinion.  If there is anything, it will be some kind of blockchain technology developed for specific tasks.  It's more likely, it's more likely,
[27:19] some kind of forks of existing blockchains and so on, but we will definitely get there, because it's cool from the point of view that we are removing intermediaries who may not always be needed, and sooner or later we will get there
[27:34] How much will it take?  First of all , in order to implement all this everywhere, regulation is needed.  And the issue of regulation, I believe, will take more than one year.  Therefore, in 5-10 years, I think we will definitely see some
[27:49] blockchain technologies being implemented in the Russian Federation .  Well, the question is 5-10 years.  I understand you.  Listen, you yourself mentioned the hack of the Bybit exchange that happened last week.  What do you think about
[28:04] this story?  I wrote on the UB channel that we will never objectively know whether there really was a hacker there.  And during the investigation, the most important thing is not to get caught in the crossfire .  Yes, listen, it's actually a mystery shrouded in darkness.  I
[28:19] believe that no one will know exactly how it really was.  But I'll cool show, staged so that
[28:31] someone can buy Ether cheaper before the upcoming approval of Ether staking.  And in general, taking down the market is a very good narrative.  And under this comb, Ae now
[28:48] feels very cool.  And after this event, we saw huge volatility in the market.  I will repeat once again that this is most likely due will repeat once again that this is most likely due to the fact that now they are shaving longs
[29:00] and shorts in order to earn extra honestly don't understand how this could happen.  That is, who is the final one signing the final transaction for the withdrawal of such a
[29:15] large amount of funds, it is also not clear to me.  Well, overall, I think this show is just a show that presents itself to us well .  Listen, I have such an interesting personal question.  How many people in your personal circle are involved in
[29:32] crypto or interested in it?  And if among your friends and loved ones there are people, uh, except for older relatives, for example, my grandmother doesn’t do crypto, but she is, of course, my close person,
[29:44] among your friends, kint girlfriends, are there people who are not involved in crypto or does your circle consist of like-minded people and people craft, are they passionate about it?  Yes, no,
[29:57] actually, like most of the people that I know, I don't have such a wide circle of friends, let's say, ah-ah, but in general, most people think that cryptocurrency is some kind of scam.  Ah, the pyramid, for some reason
[30:12] this opinion still exists.  And even when we recruit employees for the company, people come there for sales positions, there, SMM and so on, we are engaged in crypto, they consider us some kind of scammers.  that we are
[30:27] some kind of scammers.  that we are cheating old ladies there and so on.  So, the still- biased attitude in the fortress is, on the one hand, cool, because it’s like, you know, we’re still in a blue ocean.  There is
[30:41] room for growth, the upfront for growth is large, but from the point of view of interacting with people, scaling the team - this is a big challenge.  But in general, that's it , everyone in our community, as it were,
[30:55] about blockchain - these are the ones I communicate with. Well, from their point of view they are kryptonians.  All the rest of my friends are engaged in business in ordinary, ordinary sectors. Listen, what do you think about the
[31:08] meme sector?  You have already expressed a negative point of view regarding this whole story.  Do you think there is a place for this sector at all in the future of the market?  In my opinion, this story is highly questionable, because
[31:23] story is highly questionable, because one way or another we are moving towards a model of classical traditional finance.   It is clear that in some more modern technological packaging and content, among other things.  But I think that
[31:36] in 5 years, such stories will not only be illegal, but will also be condemned by the same society that now happily plays on this, on everything, bets on black, and so on.  What do you think about the future of the
[31:52] meme market?  Will it even exist in principle, or will it be in a separate gambling zone in Sochi? By the way, regarding the mountain zone in memes. I heard this from one meme maker I had on my podcast.  A very
[32:05] It sounds good, at least, that they should all be separated and have a separate zone where they come and are told that we have a crypto casino here. Come on, please, play, you can [ __ ] it up 100%.  Well, that's what we
[32:20] work for.  Listen, well, you said it right, I just wanted to emphasize this point.  Memes are likely to move into the
[32:35] perfectly applicable to games that will come sooner or later.  And all these memes are cool to use as some kind of points, scores, or something else.  That's why I think memes are more about NFTs, about this story.
[32:50] It will disappear somewhere there and into the mountainous sector.  And indeed, I’m just from Belarus, from Minsk.  And there, in general, the mining business is a normal topic.  There is a mining business is a normal topic.  There is a casino there, it is allowed, it is everywhere.  And
[33:05] when a person comes somewhere, yes, understanding where he came, understanding that this is a casino, there are no questions here.  You want to play, lose money, okay.  How is this presented in crypto?  The people here seem to be
[33:18] crypto?  The people here seem to be trying to convey the main idea that memes are some kind of fundamental asset.  This is not true at all.  That's why I think that memes will go somewhere to the side, into their own specific niches, and
[33:32] there they will exist in some way, maybe even be regulated somehow.  Ah, that's quite possible.  But why are memes being used on camera these days?  Because the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an
[33:46] official conclusion that we do not regulate this sector, so you can do whatever you want in it.  Most people launder money simply through these memes.  You, so that you understand simply.  Here.  Listen, what other sectors and directions, in your opinion,
[34:01] are also on the verge of extinction or on the verge of extinction or on the verge of transformation?  It's probably all about transformation?  It's probably all about money laundering.  And various
[34:13] money laundering.  And various mixers, various anonymous coins, mixers, various anonymous coins, like the old additional anonymous things are of no use to anyone, and one way or
[34:27] another, the screws will be tightened, because the main idea of ​​the blockchain is not to become anonymous, blockchain is not to become anonymous, yes, there it is.  This is actually about a
[34:41] universal notebook that remembers all transactions.  And so all the things connected with these anonymous things will gradually Russian Federation for sure.  I don’t know, maybe in some underdeveloped
[34:56] some form.  Listen, I want to ask you a reptilian question.  As a person who is, well, to some extent a mammoth in the market.  You've been involved in crypto not for a year, not for a year, not for two, but since the
[35:10] And the question is actually quite common.  I am very, very interested in what you think about this and what you can say about it publicly.  And who do you think created the fortress and what is its final
[35:27] created the fortress and what is its final or intermediate goal in the global or intermediate goal in the global historical course of things? Look, this is such a philosophical question, as it seems to me that it was definitely
[35:40] not created by one person.  You know, that Satoshi sat there on the computer and wrote this Bitcoin ypeper.  As if it were an organized group of far from stupid organized group of far from stupid people who created such a
[35:55] phenomenon as cryptocurrencies. And you know, there is an opinion that some say that the United States did it.  Well, a huge number of people
[36:09] are saying, I think, sorry for interrupting, they are saying that this would not have been created, that an entire cycle in the global economic system, an entire sector, which is now the crypto market, cannot be launched without
[36:25] which is now the crypto market, cannot be launched without the control and approval of law enforcement agencies and the control and approval of law enforcement agencies and security services of certain individual countries.   That's what I'm getting at.  That is, it is clear that I and any other
[36:39] person who broadcasts something on YouTube do not have such insider information.  But it seems like this is do not have such insider information.  But it seems like this is that just happened and such an industry grew out of nothing.  This
[36:53] just needs to be understood objectively.  I think that after some time it will become clearer , yes, why this was done.  But now the United States has big problems with the dollar.  And it seems like blockchain is a pretty good solution, yes,
[37:10] for, uh, some kind of financial sector, like sector, like decentralized, uh, to sort of let it regulate this whole thing now .  Therefore, I believe that, yes, this is still
[37:23] some kind of organized group of people who control this whole story. mm to the greatest people in our world, either the Central Committee or the NKVD, who do n’t understand which side.  Well, somehow,
[37:38] yes, we will never know about that.  Listen, have you heard a story about what I saw, and the proof, as if it were confirming the confirmation of the whole, uh, this story, a tale, you could call it that.  Incidentally, Gennady M. told me about this.
[37:53] I think that, if indirectly, if not personally, yes, you know him, Bitcoin transaction was launched from an IP address belonging to the US NSA. And there is a lot of information on this
[38:08] subject, absolutely freely available for everyone to look at.  Please take a look and write in the comments if I'm really [ __ ] up or if there's another way to live. So who created Bitcoin?
[38:22] Look, I'm not going to get into it, I haven't given such a deep speech on the topic of who created Bitcoin.  To be honest, I don't give a damn who did it, because we who did it, because we
[38:38] market with the glory of making money, to be honest, right?  That is, when we some noble goal of developing blockchain, decentralization, and so on. We came here to make money.  And, in fact, to this day, as
[38:54] entrepreneurs, as businessmen, we still have this task.  So who created it there?  I don't give a [ __ ] who created it.  Our task is to make money off, so that our money is not taken by other players in this wild
[39:12] West. Listen, how involved are you in the processes related to history at the moment?  Because the current development, as you can see
[39:27] , is impressive, people are using it.  the person who is watching this.  For example, I see people in those same social networks already using it everywhere. There is a clear state application of
[39:44] this story, there is a clear application of this story by the special services.  What prospects do you see for the development of artificial intelligence?  Because there are also a lot of different conspiracy theories about this story.  Personally, I
[39:59] conspiracy theories about this story.  Personally, I consider this a very dangerous topic, which who knows where it will lead us.  Maybe in our old age, apocalypse, we really will be controlled by one big computer.
[40:16] But that same Elon Musk released his new neural network last week, released his new neural network last week, even though two years ago this man was publicly stating every other day that we need to, uh, physically stop,
[40:32] artificial intelligence, because it's dangerous and the Terminator will [ __ ] us all .  Now, it seems like their agenda has already changed, and on politics to artificial intelligence, about which, in
[40:47] fact, there is very little information.  Here we have Russia and Ukraine everywhere from morning until very few people talk about artificial intelligence , although it is happening right here and now.  I just watched a movie with Will Smith yesterday, called "I,
[41:00] movie with Will Smith yesterday, called "I, Robot".  Yes, I had something to do with the fact that the movie was happening probably 15 years ago, right in my youth, yes.  And then I watched it yesterday and you know, it now fits and
[41:13] is perceived in a completely different way.  That is, if back then for 10-15 years it was pure fantasy, now it seems like a very foreseeable future. In general, neurons, I belong to them. artificial intelligence neural networks and all
[41:29] these platforms are written on it.  This is a really cool story, because, well, at the moment they can’t replace a person completely, but the tools they use to strengthen certain professions are
[41:45] really very powerful.  That is, roughly speaking, things like SM memes, content makers, is, multiply them in a very serious way at the moment.  Therefore,
[42:00] very serious way at the moment.  Therefore, the use of the GPT chat, and from the point of view of the use of the GPT chat, and from the point of view of researching various diseases there, and developing vaccines and drugs, is really very cool.  But where
[42:15] this will lead is unclear to us.  What will this lead to in the end?  That is, will we sit in some kind of cocoon and simply exist, and will some super-brain control us, or will it still be some kind of controlled
[42:28] history?  Well, time will tell, but it’s a little strange.  I get so tense when I start to sit down and start thinking about it.  I'm starting to get a little nervous about this.  I would like to hear your opinion regarding the
[42:42] hear your opinion regarding the Russian media space.   Please, in your own language, within the framework of your opinion, voice some kind of comparison between the media information field there several years ago or, well, in no case
[42:56] doing this, because then the people the fingers of one hand or, at most, two.  And what's happening in the crypto market right now, specifically in terms of media bloggers on Telegram, because
[43:11] bloggers on Telegram, because six months ago, uh, I remember opening this in Telemeter, I think, and not in Tagasa, Telemeter has sections, yes, a channel gradation, and it says cryptocurrencies of Russian-language channels on
[43:24] crypto, that is, there, [ __ ], from 100 or 500 subscribers, from several hundred, up to the largest, there were more than 4,000 Russian-language channels on crypto and trading six months ago.  Where do you
[43:38] think this is all heading, and isn't our topic already associated in society with some kind of [ __ ] privateering, sports betting, and some kind of [ __ ] gambling-addicted, non-ecological, absolutely unhealthy history?  Listen,
[43:54] This is what we see.  It just seems to get bigger from year to year .  But the main problem is that I think if you dig a little deeper and start studying whether these large number of channels that
[44:08] were created still exist, I think not. Because both crypto users and crypto influencers have a very short lifespan.  They're [ __ ] dying , just like a lot of e-influencers die off with market cycles
[44:21] .  Because, well, in my memory, well, in my memory, today there are few of these, uh, you know, fundamental guys who, roughly speaking, started there in 1916,
[44:34] 1917, 1918 and are still doing something to this day.  Well, objectively, well, like those who last a long time, and those who came, did something for six months, a year there and then dropped out, there are a lot of them, there will always be a
[44:48] lot of them.  And again, these are people who jump around on certain topics where they are interested, on narratives, but there is nothing fundamental behind it.  Oh, and I'll repeat that cryptocurrency, like any business you do, whether it's
[45:06] regular blogging or a business in any niche, requires some work.  A very, very large amount of experience, observation and experience, so that you can feel it right at your fingertips.  Because even Slava and I, those Maksimyslavas who
[45:21] were there in 1920, and those Maksimyslavas who are now in 1925, are completely different people, because we already have this, you know, fuse, the wick of analyzing everything, studying, it’s fading a little.  Well,
[45:36] because, [ __ ], doing the same thing for 10 years is hard enough.  And you're already burnt out mentally.  And age, damn, I've gone grey.  When we were single gray hair, now my hair is already gray, I have false teeth, I’ll turn into a grandfather in just
[45:52] another 10 years and that’s it.  Therefore, the narrative is that if competition grows briefly , then there will still be few fundamental things left, but at the same time
[46:04] will still be few fundamental things left, but at the same time , you know, nuggets always appear .  I think this is one of those nuggets who actually launched this whole podcasting thing in crypto, and it's like Nikita Headliner.  Yes,
[46:19] I agree.  Maybe, maybe I'm for it. But he sort of understood, he took some cool narrative, introduced something new into it from an ordinary, seemingly understandable
[46:31] thing, and it took off.  And it seems to me that such nuggets will simply be there with the arrival of neurons, something else will simply explode again and this and this story will develop.  And our task now is actually with Slava, as
[46:46] now is actually with Slava, as old skuvs, to find young blood, young powerful guys who will move all these things forward with this fearlessness, develop the industry, introduce some new things that
[47:00] we, unfortunately, no longer see. I understand you.  Thank you.  Listen, I have a question , and it’s also a banal question, in my opinion.  What advice can you, as an
[47:14] old man, a cryptocurrency enthusiast, give to those guys who are just getting into crypto, who want to start trying themselves out , maybe haven't even decided on the sector yet, what to do, whether they should focus on
[47:27] liquidity floors, trading, or maybe they should take ERILS from Patriarch's Ponds and sell training on cryptocurrency. They'll sell out much faster than what
[47:40] people are doing now who want to try their hand at the market, or would it be better for them to turn around and go in a different direction, like on Headhunters.  This is such a difficult question, damn, because if I were a person with no experience and came to the
[47:57] crypto market now, I would understand this wild information field, and they tell you everything so deliciously , that you will earn money here now , trading is awesome, liquidity pools are just great. Everything, everything is very simple, very fast.  Give
[48:10] us $500, give us $1,000, we'll tell you.  The most important thing is Yes, yes, yes.  The most important thing, guys, Yes, yes, yes.  The most important thing, guys, in my opinion, is that the beard was tinted, [ __ ], 100
[48:23] in my opinion, is that the beard was tinted, [ __ ], 100 100%.  The most important thing, probably, is that 100%.  The most important thing, probably, is that DCA is a normal topic, in fact, for those who are going.  It doesn't take much time.  So, roughly speaking, you
[48:35] came here because you want to understand crypto.  Well, obviously, the basic things, like setting up a wallet, an exchange, you'll find that, figure it out, it's not difficult.  These are basic things that soon everyone will simply have to know.  It's like
[48:47] using Tinkoff Bank will happen soon. Well, like having Trust Wallet on your phone and some kind of payment service like Bbit or Bnaance.  Roughly speaking, simple mathematics.  So you earn a certain amount of money there, take 5%,
[49:01] 10% of your income.  Nothing terrible will happen, 100%.  And you can will happen, 100%.  And you can buy Bitcoin Ether there as a diversification measure with a 5-year traction.  You don't need to take the whole cutlet and stuff it in there at once.  Just
[49:15] cutlet and stuff it in there at once.  Just you will overtake all the inexperienced traders, you will overtake all those guys who come for a quick buck, and in the process of this
[49:30] immersion you will begin to understand a little bit how it works, where everything experience and then only after a year or two, when you already have a certain amount of experience, you will be able to dive into the liquidity pool there, into
[49:43] trading, again.  Trading.  In general, I think that this is not a story for everyone .  Units can trade profitably.  We've had Gerchik on our podcasts 100 times, and he says the same thing .  I think that Oleg, you
[49:57] said that you don’t trade with your hands.  I think that the moment is simply annihilated by hands there eight years of history on large capital.  The only one of its kind in the Russian retail market.  That's what we're talking about here.  So, imagine,
[50:11] Oleg is sitting there after such terrible words.  I even felt a little tense, I tensed up.  And this retail guy comes in at the computer and says, "Now I'll sell a million dollars here, and then bam, he's gone." Therefore, well, this is the kind of mathematics to start
[50:25] with DCA and then gradually develop, look at it.  In short, it will take you a lot of time , nothing will happen quickly. You'll only quickly end up with cabbage. I promise you this.  They know how to do it here.
[50:37] So, wait a second. Ah, thank you.  I have a blog about, uh, personal questions.  And I want to ask about the whole conversation. I don't know how old you are.  I am 35 years old and
[50:49] I don't know how old you are.  I am 35 years old and will soon be 34 years old.  I look will soon be 34 years old.  I look 35 or better.  Listen, if you look through a pixelated camera, you look 35. I'm just kidding.  No,
[51:03] you look younger.  I'm 30. You look like my age.  I would, well, most likely , give you, I don’t know, well, 32-31 maximum.  Well, in the thirty range, yes.  What do you do in your free time away from crypto?  What do you
[51:17] like?  What are you interested in?  Besides business and knowledge without crypto madness.  Listen, I'm sick and tired of this business, to be honest.  I've already worked so hard.  I started doing everything early, so my passion for
[51:33] inspires me at all.  I actually have a really cool hobby.  I actually have a really cool hobby.  I discovered it about 2 years ago or 3 years ago.  In short, I buy mm cars and tune them very thoroughly and go to all
[51:49] sorts of exhibitions.  So I went to Grounded in Sochi, we drove the Subaru BRZ project, and we won there, took the top grounded spot. That is, this is a deep, fairly professional tuning for some specific tasks.  And this is one of
[52:05] specific tasks.  And this is one of my main hobbies, on which I spend all my free time.  I really get a kick out of it, to the point that I myself love to tinker with this car, screw something to it
[52:17] and then drive it sideways and drift.  In short, here are cars and drift.  In short, here are cars and auto tuning.  Oh, listen, this is very cool.  Ah, and what is the worst thing a person can do according to your personal rating?  Just don't
[52:31] say murder.  You're already tired of hearing it.  in this court. Yes, this is, listen, probably the most disgusting thing a person can do is to
[52:47] betray.  This is probably the worst thing you can be when you trust someone, yes, and they betray you.  This is very unpleasant.  Well, if we're not talking about murder, which is boring to hear about,
[53:00] then, in principle, these things are probably very unpleasant, because I think that relationships between people are a very important story.  And I’m very lucky with my partner, Slava, because we have a really great
[53:15] relationship.  Eh, and most importantly, we never, we’ve been together for a long time, I mean at work.  And we never share anything with him.  We just don't give a [ __ ].  I do n’t know, it’s either that we are such people, or that we have a really great relationship
[53:30] with him, and that’s the most important thing that can happen.  Do you believe in God? can happen.  Do you believe in God? This is the last question for today.   Yes, I do This is the last question for today.   Yes, I do .  And what is God?
[53:44] .  And what is God? Listen, I, for Listen, I, for me, I haven’t always been a believer, but at some point in every person’s life , I just don’t want to dwell on this topic for long
[53:58] , certain events happen after which you just, you know, want to believe in something, uh, and believe in someone .  And for everyone the concept of God is different things, yes.  There is my idea, it will not fit into the
[54:15] idea of ​​another person, but I believe that this is some kind of, perhaps, entity that in difficult moments can somehow help us with something, give us some other new thoughts and make us move forward.  Well, this is some kind of
[54:29] mythical thing. Ah, I haven’t yet, as they say, reached my full potential in this topic, but little by little, with age, I understand that, uh, there is
[54:41] probably something other than human relationships and some physical things.  I understand. Thank you very much.  And thank you for a wonderful time, for the information, for the company.  Friends, I
[54:58] want to tell you that the resources, guys, I do n’t remember whether it was Telegram or n’t remember whether it was Telegram or Instagram, but I read even before the moment when I started working on my channel and conducting public
