Crypto vs Stocks: 'In Debt for a Hamburger'
49sThe visual of boomers at all-time highs while crypto holders struggle is instantly relatable and rage-shareable.
▶ Play Clip"The video does address the bottom question and prediction markets, but the live-stream format buries the insights under chat shoutouts and sponsor reads."
This live stream analyzes the current crypto market uncertainty, questioning whether the local bottom is in while other risk assets like gold hit all-time highs. The host also covers a pumping gaming altcoin sector, highlights Hyperliquid's strong fundamentals, and dives deep into the growing prediction market space, sharing personal trading strategies and platform insights.
The host is skeptical of calls for a local crypto bottom because tariff deals with NATO countries are unconfirmed and other asset classes like gold are still running hot, which could pull capital away from crypto.
Gold hits new all-time highs, Kansas introduces a Bitcoin strategic reserve bill, BlackRock calls tokenization the future, and the host says we are in the 'middle ground'—not early, not late.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) trades at the same price as 365 days ago, yet users are up 367%, open interest up 123%, trading pairs up 77%, with $1B in buybacks and $1B in TVL portfolio margin.
According to DeFiLlama, Hyperliquid's annualized revenue is ~$660 million, and it earned $3.4 million in the last 24 hours—a business generating profit regardless of market conditions.
The Trove token, an RWA platform selling Pokemon cards with leverage, raised $11 million and crashed 95% immediately, scaring people away from altcoins and crypto.
Gaming coins are the current narrative: AXS +200%, SAND +40%, MANA +36%, SLP +34%. However, newer tokens like Ronin and Prime aren't moving much, and the host's long-term conviction is low.
MSTY pays ~4% monthly/quarterly, capped at $99–100, with excess cash used to buy Bitcoin. MicroStrategy stock is up 641% since September 2022, outperforming BTC, ETH, SOL, Metaplanet, and Google.
Crypto has been range-bound in a 20% band, repeatedly flushing leverage longs at the $90K level. Unless you're a full-blown expert, leverage trading in this chop has likely been disastrous.
The host made $141 today on mentions markets (excluding sports), emphasizing that you can find an edge in any niche, and mention markets are where he finds consistent profitability.
The New York Times published an article about prediction market traders making millions. Robinhood's CEO predicts a super cycle, and Coinbase, MetaMask, and Phantom are integrating prediction markets.
Mention market leaderboards show Tyrell made $1,200 today, anonymous Kenobi has made $433,000 total, and Mr. Moonlight turned $1,000 into $300,000. The host suggests 3–4% daily returns are great, 10% is professional.
The host is betting 'no buzzer' in NBA mention markets because announcers rarely say 'buzzer'—only about 1 in 5 games hit the buzzer mention, even in close games.
The host is not convinced the crypto market is in the clear yet. With stocks, gold, copper, and silver doing well, people aren't rushing into crypto. He'll treat any rally as a pump fake unless a leg down happens.
The host remains cautious on crypto despite optimism around tariff deals and local-bottom calls, preferring to wait for risk assets to cool before adding positions. Meanwhile, prediction markets offer a genuine edge, especially in mention-based markets where the host is consistently profitable.

30:45[00:01] All right. What is up, everybody? Today we're going to be diving into the crypto markets. Obviously, yesterday we had a big update across potential tariff deals with NATO countries. A lot of people see optimism in that for the markets. I'm not really sure we should be
[00:16] overly bullish yet. I still do think we need to see a few things play out and other asset classes maybe even cool off off the backs of this. And also it's just the early stages of a deal. So,
[00:28] we have no confirmation yet. We'll talk about if the local bottom is in and if because other assets are running that risk assets like Bitcoin and crypto could take a little bit of a leg down. On top of that, I'm going to go over the one altcoin sector that is pumping at
[00:44] this point in time and long-term people on this channel will know exactly what that is. And then we will dive into prediction markets at the end of the show. And look, I mean, the New York Times is literally publishing about the top traders on prediction markets making
[01:00] millions and millions of dollars utilizing platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. So, let's just dive in to everything. Without further ado, let's jump into it.
[01:21] All right. And before we dive in, be sure to drop down below, hit that like button, and subscribe to the channel for more every single day here on In The Game. We have you covered top to bottom everything you need to win across the crypto and prediction markets. Of course, crypto
[01:35] has been hard to navigate over the last 6 months, but I do see greener pastures coming up around the corner. And just a big shout out quickly to our sponsors, Blofin, Gravity, ZKsync, Aikido, Kalshi.
[01:47] You can check out all of those down below in the description. But we're just going to jump right into it as right now we are looking at a market that is showing a lot of uncertainty. And guys, ask questions in the chat. Any tokens you want to talk about, anything like that. What's going
[02:01] on locked in? Good to see you here as always, my friend. Uh from not too far away from me, actually. Uh and if you know, you know. But hope you're having a good day, brother. Uh let's just go ahead and jump into the markets, guys. Right now, uh we're kind of in this middle ground. You
[02:16] know, Trump's talking about a deal with NATO countries about pausing the tariff situation and anytime tariffs is a topic of conversation. We really do uh you know, kind of the market just becomes a really hard place to trade. We have a lot of people on crypto Twitter saying, "Oh,
[02:32] this is a local bottom." And then we have a lot of people kind of skeptical, myself included. I'm pretty skeptical about this. And and you know, if we just take a look across the board, this is so true right here. Boomers watching their stocks hit all-time highs while you're going in debt for
[02:48] a hamburger. That's most the world right now if you're trading crypto. It's really hard out there unless you're in the trenches catching new tokens, but you really have to be locked in to be in those circumstances. So, at this point in time, we still see gold today, new all-time high. Also, we see,
[03:06] you know, a lot of developments in the crypto space with stuff like Kansas introducing a bill to create Bitcoin and strategic reserves. We see BlackRock out here saying, you know, tokenization is going to be the future with Citadel's CEO being visibly irritated. So, we are not early anymore,
[03:21] but we are definitely not late. We are in this middle ground. And like you're saying in the chat, uh, Shiba Mac, a lot of people just have no clue what to do in this market, but I feel like we're in that in between time period where crypto is kind of establishing this massive base. And I feel
[03:36] like once we get over this little hurdle we've had since August, I do think that there's big time upside in the crypto markets going forward. We can just look across the board at some of these prices. I mean, SOL just dipped below 130. We have Hyperliquid at $21. And I thought that this tweet
[03:53] was phenomenal. Hype's trading at the exact same price it did 365 days ago, which is actually kind of crazy. Uh the users have gone up by 367%. Open interest has gone up by 123%. Trading pairs have
[04:09] increased by 77%. And then we have Hyperliquid's native stable coin launched. A billion dollars they've done worth in buybacks which takes that supply off the market. Multiple HIP-1 markets.
[04:21] 30 plus builder codes and apps. A billion in TVL portfolio margin. I mean things have developed so far, but right now altcoins have just been so suppressed. And I think if you're still out there buying quality alts, I think you will come out on top in the long haul. Undoubtedly, in my opinion,
[04:38] one that I'm absolutely eyeing. If it goes below $20, I don't know how someone can logically say they're not going to take a stab at Hyperliquid. And if we just move over to a metric side of things, uh, let me just pull up DeFiLlama here. If you just look at the metrics on things like this,
[04:55] you know, Buller Bear projects like Hyperliquid, for example, are just absolutely printing from a business perspective. If we look here uh at their fee structure over the last 24 hours,
[05:07] uh let's see, revenue annualized is about $660 million. And if we see here, uh I think I can go to fees and revenue over the last 24 hours, they have made $3.4 million.
[05:20] That's the type of business you want to be backing in these types of climates. Find the ones that are making profit regardless of market conditions that aren't folding, that aren't running away. I mean, literally this week also, uh, if you have been paying attention to crypto Twitter at all,
[05:37] you've seen this drama with this Trove token, for example. I mean, this is the reason people still are so hesitant with crypto. They see these big promising projects that come out of the
[05:49] woodworks and they say, "Hey, we're going to be a prediction or no, this one was a RWA platform selling Pokemon cards and other collectibles uh onchain with leverage. How does that work?" Like
[06:03] like when you think about that RWA's Pokemon cards with with leverage, what in the heck how does that even function? You know what I mean? So people subscribed $20 million into the or they raised $11
[06:17] million and the token crashed 95% immediately. I mean these are the type of things that keep people away from altcoins and crypto and this is a big time part of exactly why crypto and altcoins have
[06:29] been so suppressed for so long. So, you know, when we look across the future and what we can expect in the markets going forward, I think we really need to wait on stocks and other risk assets like
[06:41] gold and stores of value like gold to simmer down. I think that as long as we see gold continuing to hit all-time highs and I mean we can just go pull up uh TradingView really quick and we can take a
[06:55] look at the gold chart because the gold chart is absolutely disgusting to the upside. Let's just go look at the gold XAU launch chart. Let's see it. I mean look at that. This is exactly why
[07:10] people are trading these types of assets over crypto and altcoins. Whereas altcoins even Hyperliquid the probably one of the if not the top altcoin in the cycle the last two years last
[07:22] year or so is trading at the same price it was a year ago. You see gold just absolutely printing green candles over the course of I mean forever. Just look at this thing. Of course, people are
[07:36] gonna want to buy gold because this thing just goes up infinitely. So, crypto is in this middle ground. Uh, but I think we're establishing the regulations. States like Kansas, Texas, bunch of other institutions and banks are establishing, you know, their footing from a strategic reserve
[07:52] perspective. We see people buying it as just part of their balance sheets, whatever the case is. To me, I think it's a gold rush to get as much Bitcoin as humanly possible. And once we do kind of break out of these doldrums, we every time we hit those $90,000 levels, we just get rejected.
[08:08] I think it's going to be a big time for crypto and altcoins. What I'd be looking at at this time period would be stuff like SOL under 130. I think that's a great price to me. Even I I'm not an XRP
[08:20] guy, but XRP under $2, you're probably going to come out on top taking that proposition. I'm looking for Hyperliquid underneath 20. I'm also looking at TAO in these areas. I mean 230 to me is super cheap. I've seen some people online saying it can go to $60. If TAO went to $60,
[08:37] I would be utterly shocked. Even if Bitcoin goes below 80K. I I would really be surprised if we saw that far of a leg down at this point in time. And then on top of that, I do love KAS. KAS holding up
[08:51] well. It's still up 20% on the weekly chart. And that is one I'd also be looking at as far as a uh a potential DCA. Jorge, what's going on, my friend? Um, Solana. Yes, absolutely. Solana,
[09:04] I I think this dip is is something that I would be eating up at this point in time, but I I did see that the uh the new uh the the Seeker token, right? It went live today. Um I don't know if we
[09:17] have it even yet on Nexus because it's so new. Um or like it just launched. I did see that huge airdrop for anyone that got the Seeker phone. I did not because I have the original Solana phone and um I just stuck with that and yeah uh I I kind of got rinsed on that nonetheless. But
[09:34] it is what it is. And uh one narrative I want to talk about funny enough that you're here Jorge is uh gaming. I mean this is if you still park money. Okay, so here's the problem is
[09:47] nobody's out here holding Axie Infinity actively right now. Um, I think Godzilla token, luckily, I'm a pre-investor in that, so I have a little bit of a bag there. Um, as we see, you can go to the monthly chart here. Gaming is legitimately the king narrative right now, but only if you're
[10:04] holding dinosaurs outside of Godzilla. So, we see AXS up 200%. But newer school tokens like Ronin or Prime not really doing that much over the monthly time period. We see stuff like Sandbox up 40%.
[10:20] Uh Rollbit up 30%, MANA up 36%, SLP up 34%. So this is literally like what's happened in the privacy sector recently. We saw um what Monero, Zcash, coins that have been around for quite some
[10:35] time just take random legs up and that's exactly what we are seeing with the gaming sector. So to me my conviction in the gaming side, especially tokens has lowered. I mean that there's no doubt
[10:48] about that. I if like just the developments in gaming have been crazy to the negative side, but I mean, you know, you can't really knock yourself for missing on AXS uh in 2026. I I
[11:00] don't think anyone really had AXS pumping January 2026 on their bingo card. So, uh same uh you know, Sheba, I'm I'm also looking at Xborg. To me, Xborg still has some of the most upside from the low cap
[11:14] side of gaming and they they operate like a top tier project. You know, $10 million market cap. I just feel like the liquidity is not there for low market caps yet. So, I'm just kind of waiting on that alongside you. What's going on, Mumo Evans? Good to see you as always in the chat. Um,
[11:31] but yeah, for me, that's the same thing. I'm looking at uh Shiba. I'm also looking at Xborg. And I think that if gaming can get a more well-rounded pump, I think like if if dinosaur coins like AXS and SAND and MANA are pumping, you could probably end up expecting pumps into
[11:48] the next wave of gaming coins, uh, kind of going down that ladder. Maybe stuff that, you know, at one point had crazy runs that people know about, uh, like Heroes of Mavia, for example. Absolutely
[12:00] not a great long-term project, but that's one of those things that's probably going to get a scam pump if liquidity remained in gaming. So, it's not even the good projects that would be pumping.
[12:12] It's more so the uh the projects that have these crazy liquidity backings uh that just inject their charts alongside, you know, people making money on AXS and kind of going down the ladder saying,
[12:24] "Hey, um I made money here. What's the next gaming coin down the ladder?" And they kind of just start picking off narratives in the gaming sector. Have I met with the Xborg team by chance? Yeah, I have. Uh that is actually one of my great friends in the crypto space. They're amazing guys. They they work
[12:41] with Swissborg, one of the biggest uh institutions over in the European side as far as investing and in crypto. So yeah, I I love what they do over at Xborg. They operate like pure professionals. And
[12:54] um you know, right now it's just a hard time in the market for a project of their size, but I think they'll come out on top, hands down. Um and then Investor Jordan, I I agree with a few of these. I still love Wagmi Games as a low market cap. Uh they're cooking behind the scenes,
[13:08] and it's just such a small project. Nobody really still takes a look at it. Uh and then Superverse at $120 million market cap. The reason I'm still bullish Super a little bit is the fact that uh Ellio is teasing a little bit of a change in utility. Let me see if I can find this tweet that
[13:25] he put out. Um, and you know, these live streams are fun for crypto because on a normal show, I'm able to pre-establish what I'm going to talk about and kind of just move along. However,
[13:37] um, in a live stream, I can kind of bounce back and forth and actively find things that I've seen. Here we go. So, early days, but we've been kicking around some crazy plans for what Superverse can become. There's been three prior iterations of the protocol. Uh but already this next one would be
[13:52] the one that sticks long-term. At any rate, it's uh each time it's gigasent, I've sold nothing. Let's do it again. So hopefully we do see that. I would love to see Super kind of have a resurgence and I would love to be able to take some trades on similar gaming aligned projects like a Super,
[14:09] like a Beam or a Prime, whatever the case is. Seeing those types of tokens run would be really rewarding after such a long period of time. Uh and then what we're seeing in the the
[14:21] stock market is actually really interesting too. Uh MicroStrategy is coming out with all these diverse assets in their ecosystem. So even if you don't hold MicroStrategy, you can put your money into MSTY and you get 4% I think it's monthly or or quarterly, whatever the case is. So 16% and the
[14:38] price is capped around $99 to $100. So whenever you're investing in it, it's more like a mutual fund. Every time it goes over a hundred, they use that excess cash to buy Bitcoin in their reserves,
[14:51] which then pumps the MicroStrategy stock. To be honest, MicroStrategy is probably the best Ponzi on Earth. And uh if you actually looked at the performance, I saw Pio talk about this. Pio,
[15:04] let's see, I saw Pio tweet about this today, which is crazy to kind of visualize. If we see the MicroStrategy chart uh against Bitcoin, ETH, SOL, Metaplanet, and Google ever since September 2022,
[15:19] uh MicroStrategy is up 641% since that time period. So, uh definitely something if you're into crypto, make sure you diversify. And even if you're a new investor, seasoned investor,
[15:31] seasoned investor, you would know this. But make sure during these time periods when gold, copper, silver, uh, Nvidia, MicroStrategy, Robinhood stock, Tesla stock are doing crazy
[15:43] numbers in the market. Make sure you have that diversification because it definitely feels good. Me as a complete crypto native, I look at my stock portfolio and sometimes it gives me just a little bit of a sigh of relief. Uh, sovereign, I didn't even see your uh your comment there. Uh,
[16:00] these are all gaming coins more likely to be tradable with leverage on CEXs. Exactly. Uh, that's why I wouldn't really buy into this pump unless the next level of gaming tokens uh, started pumping. I absolutely 100% agree with that. Uh, that this is a lot based off of open
[16:16] interest and leverage uh, rather than people just going down the line and buying spot tokens. That is certainly true uh, at this point in time. Uh and yeah, anyone else with questions X or YouTube,
[16:28] let me know down below in the comment section and in the chat box and we will absolutely uh absolutely dive into it. I'm also live trading this uh AOC market, but the topic of conversation
[16:41] is not X-friendly. Okay, I cannot be talking about the um the topic of convo here without getting basically taken off YouTube. So, just so you know, I will not be I will not be diving in
[16:58] too hard here. Uh, but what I have done Oh, did I just snipe that correctly? I did. Huh. I did. They just set Oh, they they just ended. Okay, cool. Cool. This market's ending. All
[17:14] right. Awesome. Um, so this one here, I actually just came out on top, it looks like. Very nice. Uh if we see here on this one here, I made 17. And then on my two positions that I just fully closed,
[17:27] I made 50. So 67 on that one. I made 30 on Aston Villa this morning. Uh I made 30 on Mombani this morning. And then on top of that, uh Elon Musk's speech is not showing up here,
[17:41] but I made about 136 there. So, uh, as you can see, the portfolio has been doing really good here on, uh, on Kalshi the last few days and, uh, trying to keep up that momentum. Really just sticking mainly to the mention market side of things instead of delving into, you know, just
[17:57] strictly sports. Like, if I do a sports one, I better have high conviction in it. Uh, otherwise, it's it's really been good on the mention side of things. So, just keeping it objective with that. Um, Cooper's definitely getting ready to run hard playing options on them right now. Uh, oh,
[18:12] in the stock market. I would need to take a look at that. I don't really trade options too much. I think that's something I really need to dive into because like if I'm just going to be honest and obviously um for me, I am not I'm not a leverage trader when it comes to crypto as and honestly,
[18:31] if I was leverage trading this freaking price action, I'm just going to go like the 4 hour. If I was leverage trading this price action the last six months, I probably from here to here. Oh,
[18:45] copper. Copper. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Uh, options on copper probably absolutely cooking at this point in time. If I had been leverage trading crypto throughout this time period, we've just
[18:58] bounced between this 20% range infinitely. Like, let me let me zoom it up and then redo that. So, this range has probably drove so many people away from crypto that they don't want anything to do
[19:14] with it. And I completely understand. Every time you do a leverage long and you feel like the market's about to break through that $90,000 level, you get flushed. Same thing, flushed. And
[19:26] then we see a big downturn here down to those low 80,000 levels. We slow grind up. Gives you that big hope. Okay, back to 94. Wicks you back out to 89, comes back up to 96 97 on these wicks,
[19:40] and then even brought us back down as low as 87 just a few days ago. So, if you've been trading this chop leverage in crypto, unless you are a full-blown expert, I mean, you've probably gotten eaten alive over the last few months. So, that's something I need to get
[19:55] uh in my repertoire because I I don't know that, you know, leverage trading crypto, that's not my thing. But options is something and I I know you can even just sell uh you know sell puts on your
[20:08] existing stock portfolio and it's basically if you know what you're doing you can print money in your uh options count in your brokerage account. So I definitely need to take a look at that um as far as a strategy but uh yeah this market just did conclude and it looks like some people are getting
[20:26] screwed on a few buzzer beaters. So, I'm just glad I sold all my positions before except for one um which was Trump, which is trading at 97, which means there's a little bit of controversy on it
[20:44] potentially. Um I'm going to go ahead and just get out of it and just fully resolve that. Um but yeah, nice 70 bucks on a speech I didn't listen to. I could have gotten absolutely cooked here.
[20:58] Uh my original risk on this was a couple hundred bucks. Uh but I did downsize it because I was starting to stream. I probably should have left all my positions and this would have been probably a little over a hundred bucks profit. But it is what it is. Uh we will take a win where we can get
[21:13] it. But guys, I know a lot of you uh who are new to the channel or have been with us for a while have been seeing a lot of this prediction market content and you're wondering, you know, is this here to stay? Is prediction markets something that you can legitimately find an edge in? And I'm here
[21:29] to tell you absolutely. Um I'm I'm just speaking from someone who I come from crypto and I used to be you in college and and to this day I still do uh sports bet here and there, but there's so low
[21:45] edge in sports betting. Whereas, if you actually do the mention market side of things here, you can make legit money from just knowing what people are going to talk about in speeches. Um,
[21:57] so yeah, today I've made 141 just on mentions, not even including not even including my sports pick that I did this morning. And then, um, there was one other. So, just in mentions, I'm up 140 today. I think including sports, I'm up a little over 200 on the daily. Yeah. So, uh, get buff,
[22:15] get better. You can find your edge in anything, you know, whether it's weather, Netflix, Oscar nominations for today, uh politics, who's going to be the next governor of a of a state or a mayor of
[22:29] a major city. Uh you can find your edge on these things. And for me, the uh mention markets have definitely been where the money is. So, just sticking to that and not burning money in other niches. And it goes the same thing with crypto. In crypto, if you trade a chart or a coin that you're
[22:46] unfamiliar with, you're not going to have as much of an edge. Whereas, if you just watch if you trade Ethereum chart all day long, you're going to know that much better than just hopping into a random chart. It's the same thing with prediction markets. You can find an edge in anything. And
[23:02] if you don't believe me, well, today the New York Times posted this article, Clash Picks, huh? Okay, interesting. Yeah, there is esports on here. I mean you can do League of Legends, CS GO, Clash,
[23:16] Call of Duty, everything is on Kalshi. It is a beautiful you can trade everything. But today the New York Times posted an article uh about betting on prediction markets is their job. They make
[23:31] millions. And this is Prediction Market Trader on Twitter. I've recommended his account to you guys a few times here on different videos. And we see uh Robinhood CEO saying there's going to be a prediction market super cycle. Robinhood has them now. Um Coinbase is integrating with uh prediction
[23:50] markets. MetaMask has prediction markets. Phantom has prediction markets. It's crazy. I mean some of these guys uh D0r here on Polymarket alone $2.6 million in profit just on one platform. And
[24:05] they're majority doing things like he says here, Academy Awards or uh Netflix markets or you know he was uh he he made a lot of money that uh Vance was going to be the vice presidential elect for
[24:19] Donald Trump before anyone knew that uh in PMT his profit just surpassed 144k and his next goal is um 500,000 and I absolutely agree with this is my win rate should not be as high as it is but that
[24:34] means he's not taking spots where he shouldn't. Right? So, this is all about knowing your niche. And for me, I've burnt money on I I watch a lot of movies. I watch a lot of Netflix. I I feel like I
[24:46] pay attention. I I I feel like low-key I could be like a movie critic, okay? But for some reason, I can't do the movie markets worth of garbage. Netflix ratings, Rotten Tomatoes scores. I always
[25:00] get screwed. But it almost feels like they're manipulated in a way. You can't manipulate dimensions because they're live speeches. You know, Donald Trump, AOC just spoke, Elon Musk, uh you could do Jamie Dimon, Jerome Powell will be live next Wednesday trading Jerome Powell's speech
[25:17] uh for the Fed, whether he's going to cut rates or not. So, these are the types of things if you do your research and you know what's going on in current events and you watch like if you watch 10 Trump speeches, you're going to know exactly what he's going to say. Um I got a few questions
[25:30] to get here. Uh any suggestions on best people to follow for prediction markets? Yeah, of course. Um this is a great list to start with. First of all, Prediction Market Trader I I think is probably near the top of the list because he also uh like myself, he'll stream prediction markets
[25:47] uh on major speeches and stuff like that. He's a great follow. Um, another one I would recommend who and these guys you you can get on their streams and you could see what they're selecting,
[25:59] but that's never going to build you an edge. So, your edge is going to be built off of things that you're digging into, right? Um, Tyrell, he's great at prediction markets and also mention markets. And he just mainly posts information like what the markets are, uh, things going on, if someone
[26:15] has a major win, how they kind of dug into that and and made it happen. Uh, this is a really good follow on Twitter for prediction markets. Uh, yeah, there's a lot, but I would start with PMT and Tyrell. And if you look at the mentioned leaderboards, um, go back to leaderboards here.
[26:31] I know on um, if we can get this to load. Here we go. I know, for example, on the daily, I saw him on the list earlier. I don't see him now. What about the monthly? Oh, this is on all categories.
[26:47] Hang on. Mentions. Yeah, here's Tyrell. He's made 1,200 today um on mentions. Kenobi is insane, but he's kind of anonymous, so you can't really um you can't really even follow him anywhere, but
[27:02] he's made $433,000 just on mentions. Uh and today he made 4,000. So, you can just see there's money to be made here. Mr. Moonlight, he took $1,000 and he's now up 300 grand. So, uh, he's made
[27:17] $900 today. For him, that's a bad day, right? So, you can build your bankroll here. Take appropriate size. And a lot of people are happy with like if you make 3 to 4% on your total portfolio every single day, that's great. If you're making 10% on your total portfolio a day, you're a literal
[27:33] professional at prediction markets. Uh, let's see here. Prediction market growth about to be crazy. Bigger than sports betting. Yes, absolutely. Everything altcoin. I I think people who are early
[27:45] in the prediction market space legitimately it's going to end up being like sports betting five to 10 years ago people and this is a I think this is kind of schemy uh we're about to build something
[27:58] for free which is going to be amazing for you guys by the way and we have something that we're building here uh for all the prediction market fans that like the streams want to learn more figure out an edge we have something coming for free that you can join get tools picks etc live
[28:13] chat hats, you know, be able to stream these uh even like with a group of people, trade them live, and you know, be able to have an edge. Uh we're going to have that coming for you guys very soon. But um you know, back about 10 years ago, people thought that sports betting was never going to
[28:27] be legal. People were selling picks online for a price and they were getting laughed at, but they would tell people sports betting is going to be one of the biggest industries in the world. Fast forward to 2026. You can't turn on the TV without a DraftKings FanDuel um Hard Rock app
[28:48] uh you know advertisement on your phone or on the on the TV. So it's it really has gotten to that level and I do think prediction markets are the exact same way. Uh so I agree. George said this morning that uh Kalshi and Polymarket both reached out uh about a collaboration with Clash Picks.
[29:04] Interesting. Uh yeah, we we work with Kalshi here on the channel. I love working with Kalshi. Um, and it is my favorite exchange simply because of the amount of mention markets that they they have. Polymarket seems to be a little bit uh tame on what they offer for mentions, but uh Kalshi is
[29:22] the king of earnings calls, debates, state of the unions, World Economic Forum. They have everything here for you to trade. Yeah, you can even do the weather, which is just absolutely crazy.
[29:34] Um, and just looking at my portfolio right now, things I'm holding on to. I think most of my active trades are done for today. Um, I do have Coinbase to advertise during the Super Bowl. Uh, small position, but I think that that's absolutely assertain. They always do these
[29:50] crazy psychological advertisements. Whenever they uh there's a big event, they have like these, you know, if we were to fit all $21 million of bit or 21 million Bitcoin in a shipping container,
[30:02] you just need one. Uh if you want to do the amount that the Fed prints every day, it's like so much uh shipping containers in cash. So, they always do these like deep psychological commercials. So,
[30:15] I definitely think this is still good value at 68 cents for Coinbase during the Super Bowl, but you do have to wait about three more weeks for that to come through. Um, and if we look at markets
[30:27] out there right now, I go to mentions here. One that I've really been liking at nighttime has been basketball markets. Um, these basketball ones to me have been very, very solid. So, this one starts
[30:45] in four hours. And you know, you have the obvious ones. Uh, injury, injured. They're going to say that because Jimmy Butler just tore his ACL. I believe it was his ACL, not his Achilles. Um,
[30:58] all-star. They might mention this. Steph Curry just earned his x amount of all-star, you know, consideration. American Airlines is probably going to hit. That is the name of the stadium
[31:10] for the Dallas Mavericks. And usually they end up saying this. So American Airlines is probably pretty decent. The ones I've been loving to play are Buzzer. Buzzer. No. Which is kind of crazy.
[31:22] You would really think that um you know you would think that this would hit almost every single time, but uh it has not been I really it's like one out of every five games that I've been
[31:35] trading hits buzzer and especially if the game is not close. You would think if the game's like a one possession game, they're going to shoot a shot, they're going to say at the buzzer, but for some reason these announcers have kind of been changing their rhetoric a little bit and
[31:48] not saying the word buzzer. Um, and even if we split them tonight, we're up on the day because of our early day um, selections. So, if we go back to mentions here, the second game on the slate tonight is Los Angeles Lakers at Los Angeles Clippers. And I'm also going to go no buzzer here.
[32:07] And I think this one's at the Intuit Arena. Um, so that's probably going to hit as well. I wish it was Crypto.com Arena. I feel like they always mention Staples Center or Crypto.com Arena used to
[32:21] be the Staple Center. Um, Intuit I would probably take, but it's a little expensive at 80 cents. Uh, regardless, I do like Buzzer here as well. No, I'm going to buy 50 contracts of that. So, uh, those
[32:33] are my two selections tonight. Just no Buzzer in both basketball games. And as the game goes on, I might end up building positions, especially if the game if they're both blowouts. Like if the
[32:45] games are 10, 15, 20 point margins, I'm going to probably stack up Buzzer so long as it hasn't been said by like the third quarter. That's really it for today, guys. Um I do just want to like I think for me uh if we just go I'm going to pull up my own channel here, CB in the game.
[33:06] I think um one thing I do want to do a little more of is content where I go over edges. Uh this one, you know, it has a decent amount of views, but how to find your edge on prediction markets beginner
[33:20] strategy. Like not everyone's going to go back and watch these live streams because they're live. They may think that we were, you know, only trading live, but I do feel like we went over some high level stuff as to how to find an edge in this video and in this stream. So,
[33:34] uh, what I want to do as well is incorporate a few more pre-records like this, just general how to find your edge in prediction markets or whatever the case is. Uh, mention markets, etc. tools to use, software products, people to follow, all that stuff. So, you can definitely
[33:50] expect more of that. And look, with prediction markets blowing up and New York Times out here saying, you know, betting on prediction markets is their job. They make millions. I feel like it is a
[34:02] good industry to kind of cement ourselves in early and kind of be one of those hopefully uh leaders in the space as far as on YouTube contentwise also the tools that we're building behind the scenes
[34:14] that you guys will be able to join uh here in just a few days probably heading into early next week. So that's going to be it for today. Uh not a lot of stuff going on as far as speeches currently in
[34:27] the prediction market space. I'm on no buzzer in both of tonight's basketball games. And as far as crypto, I'm just kind of uncertain right now. Um I know a lot of people calling for local bottoms
[34:39] and I don't think that that's hypothetically a bad call, right? But with risk assets doing so or other risk assets doing so good, gold, copper, silver on top of that with stuff like the stock
[34:52] market. I checked my stock portfolio today and all my stuff in my portfolio is green. Literally everything I'm holding was in the green. So when that's happening, people aren't just going to be rushing to the gates to buy crypto. Um, so so for me, I tweeted this today. I'm not sure
[35:07] the crypto market's in the clear yet. Obviously, I'm very happy to be wrong because if I'm wrong, my bags will pump, but uh if it it does feel like a pump fake to me for crypto prices, and I'm going to probably play it that way, not add too much to any positions unless we do take a leg down.
[35:22] And if we take a leg up, I'm going to be very happy and actively looking uh for different trades to take and also uh for take-profit levels on certain coins. So guys, that'll be it for today's stream. If you enjoyed the content on YouTube, like and subscribe down below. On Twitter,
