AI Summary

The speaker, a crypto investor who has made millions, presents a bearish short-term outlook for Bitcoin and altcoins, predicting a potential bottom between $30,000-$63,000 before a bullish rally leading into 2028. He outlines a strategy based on the 4-year halving cycle, macroeconomic triggers (rate cuts, midterm elections), and specific altcoin plays (AI agents, memecoins, DeFi), while emphasizing patience, dollar-cost averaging, and portfolio diversification into stocks.

[[1:36]]
Market Context

Since October/November, markets have been brutal; Bitcoin broke all-time high but altcoins didn't run as expected.

[[2:09]]
Crypto Top-Out

When Bitcoin broke its all-time high, crypto topped out; alts ran briefly but not like past cycles.

[[2:21]]
Interest Rate Thesis

Historically, crypto rallies after interest rate cuts (e.g., 2021); the thesis for a Q4/Q1 mini-cycle got invalidated.

[[3:00]]
Invalidation of Mini-Cycle

The expected mini-cycle in late Q4/early Q1 was invalidated; risk assets began to unravel.

[[3:14]]
Bearish Sentiment

Crypto Twitter sentiment turned very bearish; people capitulated, positions went into the red.

[[3:25]]
Historical Precedents

Past cycles saw rallies without rate cuts (pre-2021, pre-2025), but crypto is driven by speculation, not fundamentals.

[[4:09]]
Crypto Market Nature

Crypto is more irrational than other markets due to permissionlessness and lack of oversight.

[[5:00]]
Long-Term Conviction

The speaker believes crypto will not disappear; Bitcoin will eventually reach $1M in our lifetime.

[[5:26]]
Market Age Comparison

Stock market is 400 years old; crypto is only 16 years old, explaining massive volatility.

[[6:01]]
Edge in Early Markets

Success comes from identifying early trends; crypto offers a stronger edge than stocks, less competition with insiders.

[[7:00]]
Changing Perspective

Speaker's perspective is shifting due to having a son and seeing other markets (stocks) perform while crypto chops sideways.

[[7:55]]
Technical Analysis Basics

Key technical indicators: moving averages, volume, RSI. Prices break support; no V-shaped recovery expected.

[[8:35]]
Bear Market Confirmation

Confirmed bear market; bear markets are a golden opportunity to buy at a discount.

[[8:50]]
Current Stance

Speaker is not buying at current levels; expects prices to go lower, targeting $30k-$63k range.

[[9:00]]
Buying Zone

$40k-$30k is a massive fire sale; Bitcoin could hit $180k-$250k in the next halving cycle (2028).

[[9:23]]
Institutional Predictions

JP Morgan predicts Bitcoin could rocket to $170k in coming months.

[[10:11]]
4-Year Halving Cycle

Bitcoin peaks 12-18 months post-halving, then corrects for ~12 months.

[[10:50]]
Historical Drawdowns

Peak-to-bottom drawdowns: 2013 86%, 2017 84%, 2021 78%; applying 70-75% to $126k gives $30k-$38k bottom.

[[11:36]]
DCA Strategy

Speaker will start dollar-cost averaging (DCA) into Bitcoin below $60k, not trying to time the exact bottom.

[[12:19]]
Timeline Prediction

Markets confused until May; bottom expected in October 2025; rally by January 2026; 2027 bullish for crypto.

[[13:00]]
Accumulation Window

Under $60k is the accumulation zone; DCA strategy recommended even if markets stay low until October.

[[14:10]]
Key Catalyst: Midterms

After midterms (October-November 2025), policy certainty historically gives 15.4% average one-year return.

[[15:08]]
Midterm Reasons

Three reasons: policy certainty, gridlock reduces surprises, presidents frontload pain then juice economy.

[[15:38]]
Rate Cuts and FOMC

Rate cuts expected June onward (40% odds); FOMC dates: Mar 17, Apr 27, Jun 16, Jul 28, Sep 15, Oct 27, Dec 8.

[[17:24]]
Key Triggers Summary

Interest rate cuts, Bitcoin halving narrative, midterm elections, and war developments (e.g., Iran) as catalysts.

[[18:07]]
Danger of Buying Dips

In a downtrend, buying dips mindlessly can lead to losses until trend reverses; buy dips only in uptrends.

[[19:01]]
Diversification into Stocks

Speaker diversifying into stocks (AI, robotics, private markets, pre-IPO) to manage risk; crypto dip could get worse.

[[20:07]]
Risk Management

Speaker learned risk management after losing almost everything in 2021; size into early narratives; winners make up for losers.

[[21:52]]
Encouraging Open-Mindedness

Encourages viewers not to be all-in on crypto; consider stocks for long-term growth.

[[22:02]]
Pre-IPO Stocks Gain

Made $250k last year from pre-IPO stocks (2-5x from pre-IPO price).

[[22:29]]
AI and Prediction Markets

AI agents could help traders and investors outsmart humans; prediction markets and AI agents will be huge.

[[23:35]]
Gold/Silver Not Asymmetric

Speaker is not buying gold/silver at current highs; asymmetric upside in assets down 50-80% (crypto, select stocks).

[[24:30]]
Contrarian Picks

Assets people ignore are biggest winners; aggressive investors should consider altcoins (AI agents, memecoins) for outsized gains.

[[25:40]]
Narrative: AI Agents

Next big narrative in crypto: AI agents (e.g., X42 protocol, Virtuals Protocol); also AI agents driving on-chain actions.

[[26:16]]
X42 Protocol

X42 is an open standard by Coinbase, repurposing HTTP 402 for AI agent payments; no direct token but USDC used.

[[27:28]]
Altcoins to Watch

Virtuals Protocol (prev ATH gives 667% gain), PANGU (memecoin for Pudgy Penguins, 600% gainer if ATH), Hyperliquid (top 13, TP $100), Pump (buyback mechanism, 422% upside).

[[28:53]]
Memecoin Outlook

Memecoins will have another run; Pangu (Pudgy Penguins) is a blue-chip memecoin; buying dip when Bitcoin moves up 5%→memecoins up 20-40% in a day.

[[29:30]]
Layer 1 Ecosystems

Abstract chain (Pudgy Penguins related) and Kraken's Ink chain are potential plays; Base has done well.

[[29:52]]
Real World Assets (RWA)

Tokenization trend (Larry Fink); no clear definitive play yet; asymmetric upside not there.

[[30:30]]
DeFi Narrative

DeFi always around; favorite product is something like a top 10 coin if correlated with project quality.

[[31:05]]
Hyperliquid and Pump

Hyperliquid ($27 now) could hit $100 in bull market; Pump has buyback mechanism, down 422% from lows.

[[32:10]]
NFT Resurgence

Despite hate, NFTs were successful; resurgence likely in late 2027-2028 as tech merges real/digital worlds.

[[33:40]]
Final Wisdom

Patience is key; avoid rushing into luxuries; those who withstand the fire and make calculated choices will win.

In summary, the speaker provides a cautious bearish short-term outlook on crypto, predicting a bottom in the $30k-$63k range by October 2025, followed by a strong bull run into 2028. He advises dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin, diversifying into stocks (AI, robotics), and focusing on specific altcoin narratives (AI agents, memecoins, DeFi) for asymmetric gains, all while emphasizing patience and risk management.

[00:15] digital currency. It would be disaster

[00:16] for America if that were to happen.

[00:18] >> Now, as most of you know, I've made

[00:19] millions of dollars in crypto and I

[00:22] believe the next real opportunity is

[00:24] being built right now. This is because

[00:26] we are approaching the same window that

[00:27] we see every few years where markets

[00:30] outside of crypto end up rallying and

[00:32] crypto itself does the opposite. It goes

[00:34] down. This kind of setup that I'm seeing

[00:36] right now is the same exact conditions

[00:38] that help me to find plays like a drum

[00:40] at under 10 cents and turn that into

[00:42] multiple millions of dollars shortly

[00:44] after. As most of you all know in the

[00:46] last few months a lot of things have

[00:48] happened in the market. Gold has had its

[00:50] run. AI stocks have been going up. And

[00:52] this is where the biggest opportunity

[00:54] where we have an edge in starts to open

[00:56] up. All right, so in this video real

[00:57] quick, we're going to go over my Bitcoin

[00:59] price prediction. This isn't just going

[01:00] to be where I think Bitcoin's going to

[01:02] go. I'm going to talk about the bottom,

[01:04] the top, how long it's going to take,

[01:05] and why. Afterwards, I'll go over all

[01:07] the most important upcoming triggers and

[01:10] catalysts that you need to know about

[01:11] for this year. Then towards the end of

[01:13] the video, I'm going to go over exactly

[01:14] how I'm investing in 2026 to make

[01:17] millions once again. and you guys can

[01:19] copy my exact same playbook and

[01:21] framework so that you're able to do the

[01:23] same yourself. All right, so let's get

[01:25] started. Before we talk about Bitcoin's

[01:27] price and anything, we need to just do a

[01:29] real quick recap because it's been like

[01:31] 5 months since I last uploaded on

[01:33] YouTube, and we need to have some

[01:34] context on knowing where we are in this

[01:36] market before we can talk about what's

[01:38] coming up next. So, let's rewind.

[01:42] Since October and November, markets have

[01:45] been brutal. Now, personally for me at

[01:46] the time, I was optimistic just like

[01:48] most people in the market was. This is

[01:50] because Bitcoin had actually broke its

[01:51] all-time high. And if you look at every

[01:53] single previous moment when Bitcoin

[01:55] breaks its all-time high, we usually see

[01:58] the same things play out where alts

[02:00] begin to run, meme coins go parabolic,

[02:02] and we see the flow of money just start

[02:04] flowing. Now, this time was different.

[02:05] When Bitcoin broke its all-time high

[02:07] towards the end of last year, crypto

[02:09] pretty much topped out. Alts did end up

[02:11] running for a little bit, but it wasn't

[02:13] like anything we've seen in the past.

[02:15] Now, the main thesis at the time and the

[02:16] main thesis for myself was everything

[02:18] being based off of interest rate cuts.

[02:21] Historically, the time when Bitcoin and

[02:23] alts really begin to move is always

[02:25] following a interest rate cut. This is

[02:27] one of the reasons why in 2021 we had

[02:29] such a great cycle. Now, there are many

[02:31] different conditions outside of that

[02:32] pandemic, extra stimulus, but interest

[02:35] rates were at an all-time low. This

[02:37] pretty much allowed for all the money

[02:38] being made in stock markets and other

[02:40] assets to then flow into crypto. Now,

[02:42] oftentimes when you see something even

[02:44] like gold and silver running, it's never

[02:46] because of just one reason. It's not

[02:47] because one major bank is buying. It's

[02:49] not because everyone is afraid that

[02:51] inflation is going to get so bad or that

[02:52] the end of the world is coming near.

[02:54] It's usually for a variety of many

[02:57] different confluences that create that

[02:59] perfect storm. So, pretty much our

[03:00] thesis on the market for the next leg

[03:02] up, at least having a little bit of a

[03:03] mini cycle at the end of Q4, maybe

[03:06] starting Q1, got invalidated. That's

[03:08] when we start to see risk on assets like

[03:10] everything in crypto. And with the price

[03:12] action of Bitcoin begin to unravel at

[03:14] this time crypto Twitter sentiment got

[03:16] really bearish. A lot of people started

[03:18] to lose their money. People were

[03:19] capitulating and most people were now in

[03:22] draw down where their positions were in

[03:23] the red. Now there have been previous

[03:25] cycles where interest rate cuts didn't

[03:27] get slashed and crypto actually still

[03:29] rallied up. Prior to 2021, we've seen

[03:32] interest rates actually hold levels, but

[03:34] we've still experienced different market

[03:36] cycles. Even prior to 2025, we saw that

[03:39] on different occasions. Look, unlike the

[03:41] stock market, you guys should know at

[03:43] this point by now, crypto is really

[03:45] driven by speculation and hype. Other

[03:47] markets have true inherent value,

[03:49] stocks, they're basing it off of

[03:51] earnings, real company performance. Gold

[03:54] is an asset. It's something that's

[03:55] tangible. There's a finite supply of it.

[03:57] Crypto, because of the nature of how

[03:59] it's been created, where it's

[04:01] permissionless, no one can come in and

[04:02] audit it. The SEC is not going to come

[04:04] into a crypto project and ensure that

[04:06] the developers are all doing what

[04:07] they're supposed to do with their funds.

[04:09] This means that markets generally will

[04:12] be even more irrational than any other

[04:14] markets that exist. Now, generally, that

[04:17] kind of news sucks. If you're in a

[04:19] market that's fully irrational, driven

[04:21] by hype and speculation only, why even

[04:24] participate? Well, this is the whole

[04:26] dilemma of the double-edged sword, what

[04:27] crypto actually is. I think it's

[04:29] incredibly foolish for anyone to get

[04:31] into crypto and to treat it like it's

[04:33] the same type of market when you're

[04:35] investing into stocks or something even

[04:37] more conservative than that. I mean

[04:38] nowadays you can invest into anything.

[04:40] Pokémon cards, One Piece cards, still

[04:42] watches and cars, they're starting to

[04:43] appreciate a bit in value. Crypto is

[04:45] going to be the only market that I

[04:47] believe in where you experience true

[04:48] high risk and high reward. That high

[04:50] reward does not come without the risk.

[04:53] This is a market where it is truly the

[04:55] wild wild west. Things can always go to

[04:57] zero. But my silver lining and my true

[05:00] conviction holds in the statement here

[05:02] that I believe crypto is never going to

[05:04] disappear. We're going to see cycles as

[05:06] we have in the last four or five years

[05:09] or more. But ultimately, Bitcoin is

[05:12] eventually going to be a million dollars

[05:13] in our lifetime. Eventually, we're going

[05:15] to see other altcoins continuing to make

[05:16] new floors and go higher and higher as

[05:19] the cycle progresses. Keep in mind, the

[05:21] stock market has been around not for 100

[05:22] years, 200 years, 300 years. It's been

[05:24] around literally for 400 years, guys.

[05:26] And cryptocurrency has only been around

[05:28] since the launch of Bitcoin in January

[05:30] 2009. This makes it about 16 years old.

[05:32] When you compare a 400-year-old market

[05:35] versus a 16-year-old market, you are

[05:37] going to see massive fluctuations in the

[05:40] beginning. You are going to see cycles

[05:41] that go up and go down. And when you

[05:43] combine that with the fact we talked

[05:44] about permissionless systems, we talked

[05:46] about a market where it's based on

[05:48] trust. And if you know a thing or two

[05:50] about trust and strangers, those two

[05:52] things, it's like uh water and oil. They

[05:54] don't mix. So, with all that said, where

[05:56] are we now? Well, the way that we've

[05:57] been able to make tens of millions of

[05:59] dollars investing into crypto is by

[06:01] identifying early trends and narratives

[06:03] in this market. Now, you can apply the

[06:05] same thing towards any market that you

[06:07] want to participate in, but I believe

[06:08] crypto is infinitely better only because

[06:11] you're able to have a much stronger

[06:12] definitive edge and you're not competing

[06:14] against players who have inside

[06:16] information, politicians, quant data,

[06:19] Wall Street, hedge funds. Just think

[06:22] about yourself entering a Call of Duty

[06:23] lobby. and you just turn on the game

[06:25] console for the first time and all of a

[06:26] sudden you're playing against people who

[06:28] have been sweating their butt off in

[06:30] this game for the last 5 to 10 years.

[06:31] The beauty about crypto is that because

[06:33] it's an early market, you reap what you

[06:35] sow. What I mean by that is if you

[06:37] started to put in the work throughout

[06:39] many different bare markets, to learn

[06:40] the tech, to learn the narratives, to

[06:42] understand why things move up, and from

[06:44] there to identify how you want to make

[06:47] money from the market shortly after

[06:48] that, all you got to do is wait for

[06:49] right conditions to return. and you're

[06:51] going to see more exponential returns

[06:53] than you would participating then in any

[06:55] other market. Now, at least that's how I

[06:57] thought for a while. My perspective is

[07:00] starting to change a bit. Maybe this is

[07:01] because I literally have a son that's

[07:03] going to be born in the next day or so,

[07:05] and I'm going from the young buck Brian

[07:07] Jung, credit card Brian that most y'all

[07:09] know me for to now dad mode Brian Jung,

[07:11] which is also really it it is crazy. And

[07:13] I care a lot more about diversity. But

[07:15] it's also because in the last 6 to 12

[07:17] months, while crypto has been trading

[07:19] sideways, chopping within this range or

[07:22] even going down at times, we've still

[07:24] been seeing some other stocks going up.

[07:26] All right, so let's talk about Bitcoin

[07:27] price action. Let's talk about where we

[07:29] are in the market. Let me share with you

[07:31] how I think things are going to play out

[07:32] and why. The most important thing you

[07:34] want to look out for are significant

[07:36] levels when it comes to crypto. As I've

[07:38] said for many, many years, significant

[07:39] levels are often psychological levels

[07:42] that pretty much everyone's looking at.

[07:43] Crypto makes it easy because it's

[07:45] usually round numbers or you can just

[07:48] find higher highs or higher lows or

[07:50] significant support levels that were

[07:52] established in previous market cycles.

[07:55] At the time of filming this video, we

[07:56] are on a very high time frame. Okay,

[07:58] this is pretty much zooming us out since

[08:01] 2019. We have lost the last support

[08:03] level. I know there are some Fibonacci

[08:05] gurus and all these tools. I think the

[08:07] most important things that you guys can

[08:08] look at if you're not a TA expert, it's

[08:10] simply just moving averages, your

[08:12] volume, and also your RSI. I think those

[08:15] three you can cook. So, pretty much

[08:16] while markets have been going down, I

[08:18] know a lot of people were just super

[08:21] excited to buy up some of these dips

[08:23] here. The one thing you guys need to

[08:25] realize when it comes to these markets

[08:26] is that you're not going to see a

[08:27] V-shaped recovery. At the time of

[08:29] filming this video, with Bitcoin losing

[08:31] its trend, we are not in this uptrend

[08:33] market structure. That means we're not

[08:35] in a bull run. And if you want to say

[08:36] so, yes, we are in a bare market. I know

[08:38] that word freaks people out, but you got

[08:41] to realize that a bare market is the

[08:43] blessings of a golden opportunity for

[08:45] you to be able to buy in at a discount.

[08:48] So, personally for me right now, I'm

[08:50] still not buying at these levels. I

[08:51] expect us to go lower. Now, do I think

[08:53] we can hit $31,000 or even $49,000? I

[08:56] don't know. But if we do get anything

[08:58] within this range, guys, $40,000 to

[09:00] $30,000, that is going to be a massive

[09:03] fire cell. Now, the reason why I believe

[09:05] $4 to $30,000 is a huge buying

[09:07] opportunity is because I believe going

[09:09] into 2028 for the next Bitcoin having we

[09:12] are going to see Bitcoin hit anywhere

[09:14] from $180,000

[09:16] to upwards of $250,000.

[09:18] Zooming out just a little bit more. I

[09:20] mean, that's putting us right in this

[09:21] box here. Just a few months ago, JP

[09:23] Morgan also stated that they believe

[09:25] Bitcoin could rocket to $170,000 in the

[09:28] coming months. When you have some of the

[09:29] biggest banks in the world that are

[09:30] making bold price predictions and

[09:32] getting more data than retail has access

[09:34] to, I tend to heir on the side that

[09:37] smart money usually knows the direction

[09:39] of where things can go. But guys, let's

[09:41] not just rely on the biggest bank. Let's

[09:43] not rely on other people because

[09:45] institutions, price predictions, often

[09:47] times when you involve that and then the

[09:49] speculative market of what crypto is,

[09:51] it's usually just trying to create

[09:54] additional hype, trying to get people

[09:55] more excited. And we want to just look

[09:57] through all that crap. We want to cut

[09:59] through the noise and just look at

[10:01] previous patterns and where we can make

[10:03] a reasonable hypothesis on this market

[10:06] with datadriven facts. So, Bitcoin

[10:09] follows a 4-year having cycle. Every

[10:11] cycle peaks 12 to 18 months post having,

[10:13] then there's often a 12-month

[10:15] correction. Regardless on if you believe

[10:17] in the 4-year cycle or not, I truly

[10:19] believe that we just get massive buy the

[10:21] rumor, sell the news events. And I also

[10:23] believe that we get moments where heavy

[10:25] holders of this asset. They take their

[10:27] profits. They wait till things bottom

[10:29] out. And this is just how a market like

[10:31] this moves. I got a lot of theories.

[10:33] We're not going to go into it in this

[10:35] video. I've talked about it many times

[10:36] in some of our videos that have ripped

[10:38] millions of views. Let me just give you

[10:39] at least the main data point on why I

[10:42] believe we are going to see the trend

[10:43] play out the way it will. So 2017, we

[10:46] actually had the peak of Bitcoin.

[10:47] Following that, 363 days later, we had

[10:50] the bottom. 2021, we had the peak. We

[10:52] bought it about 376 days later. Every

[10:55] single one of those times when we went

[10:57] from peak to bottom, we have experienced

[10:59] about an 80% draw down. In 2013, it was

[11:02] 86%. In 2017, it was 84%. In 2021, that

[11:07] draw down was 78%. If we take the draw

[11:10] down of $126,000, which was our previous

[11:13] all-time high, say we draw down 70 to

[11:15] 75%, that math would give us $30,000 to

[11:19] $38,000 Bitcoin. Now, if we saw a 50 to

[11:23] 60% draw down because every cycle is

[11:25] different, as everyone says, this time

[11:27] is different. That would give us a

[11:28] $50,000 to $63,000 Bitcoin. At the time

[11:32] of filming this video, Bitcoin is at 64

[11:34] to $65,000.

[11:36] Anything under $60,000 is where I am

[11:39] interested in buying up Bitcoin and

[11:41] dollar cost averaging into the market.

[11:43] Look, there are going to be millions of

[11:45] other market participants who are eyeing

[11:47] to buy up the exact point of the bottom.

[11:49] Instead of trying to stress yourself out

[11:51] in doing that, the best course of action

[11:53] for 90% of people who are watching these

[11:56] videos is to simply just dollar cost

[11:58] average, have enough firepower, know how

[12:00] much expenses is leaving your wallets,

[12:03] know how much income is coming into your

[12:05] wallets, cutting down on the aloe set. I

[12:08] know y'all be crazy about that these

[12:09] days. Cutting down on reckless

[12:11] unnecessary spending and simply just

[12:14] accumulating Bitcoin consistently during

[12:17] this time. All right. So, here's what I

[12:19] think would happen. All right. So,

[12:21] markets are just going to be confused

[12:22] for a little bit. Maybe in May, maybe

[12:25] this could be the earliest point where

[12:27] we start to see the bottom of Bitcoin.

[12:30] But if there's some news, you know, AI

[12:32] is now coming for even my job, your job,

[12:35] your kids' job, and we're about to be

[12:36] working for AI in 5 years, man. I mean,

[12:40] that's when we're going to start to see

[12:41] more pain. Now, these are the times

[12:44] where no one's going to want to invest.

[12:46] Everyone's going to be scared. Maybe we

[12:48] find out who Satoshi Nakamoto really is.

[12:50] Maybe we find out that quantum

[12:51] computing, yeah, that that's going to

[12:52] take over crypto and we're all really

[12:54] cooked. But this is really the bottom

[12:57] where you want to identify and start

[13:00] buying positions. Look, financial

[13:02] advice, non financial advice, whatever.

[13:04] Okay, I have conviction on this level

[13:06] here. It's just a matter of not if we're

[13:08] going to see it. Easiest thing you can

[13:09] do is just anytime we're under $60,000,

[13:12] this whole gap, you can begin to just

[13:14] DCA. All right. From here, I believe

[13:16] even if we see the markets go down, we

[13:18] could end up seeing markets stay low

[13:20] until we are in the month of October.

[13:23] Okay, this is for a few reasons. I'll

[13:24] talk about those upcoming catalysts and

[13:26] those key triggers in just a little bit.

[13:28] But before we do, October, I believe

[13:30] that's when we're going to see the

[13:31] bottom. I believe October will mark the

[13:33] bottom. From here, we begin to start

[13:35] rallying by January. By the time we get

[13:38] into the new year, at this point, the

[13:40] trend should be confirmed. we should

[13:42] have some kind of reversal where we can

[13:45] identify that the bottom was in. And you

[13:47] don't always have to time things right

[13:48] at the bottom, but if you're able to at

[13:50] least get in at this point or this point

[13:51] or this point and capitalize before the

[13:54] rest of the market gets to the target of

[13:57] say conservatively like 180,000 160,000

[14:00] if you want to be really conservative or

[14:02] if you want to be cracked out of your

[14:04] head like some of these financial

[14:05] analysts are, you got your quarter

[14:06] million price target for Bitcoin going

[14:08] into 2028. The most important thing

[14:10] though is the year of 2027 should be

[14:14] incredibly bullish for crypto. This is

[14:17] the jungunity. This is the golden

[14:19] opportunity that you should be ready

[14:22] for. You should have firepower for and

[14:24] for the year of 2026, whatever it holds.

[14:27] This is where you should be accumulating

[14:29] dollar cost averaging, making sure that

[14:31] you're ahead of all the trends, making

[14:32] sure you know what's happening in the

[14:34] market. If you want to get into trading

[14:35] and understand how to build your own

[14:37] system, get into trading futures at some

[14:40] point, this is the time to learn. Not

[14:42] when 2027 comes around and everyone's

[14:46] making money already. NFTs are flying

[14:47] again and you're scrambling around like

[14:49] you've done it every other cycle where

[14:51] you've always roundt because you got too

[14:53] greedy. No, start now. And this is the

[14:55] video where I really hope it's the

[14:56] wakeup call. Look, I've made my millions

[14:58] and I am going to make millions more

[15:00] again in the market. rest assured, but I

[15:02] want you guys to do the same alongside

[15:04] with me during this journey. All right,

[15:05] so why am I so bullish on October being

[15:08] the time we turn around? Well, October

[15:09] is going to mark pretty much the 1year

[15:12] time frame that we saw since Bitcoin had

[15:14] hit its all-time high. Now, from October

[15:17] into November is going to be the time

[15:18] where we also see midterm elections

[15:20] coming around. It's also more than

[15:22] likely that we already get a rate cut

[15:24] happening in June. This is still a bit

[15:26] speculative. We're not 100% sure. It's

[15:28] like 40% odds right now. But definitely

[15:31] from June going into Q4, we should at

[15:33] least expect to see one, two, or maybe

[15:36] three different rate cuts, which are

[15:38] true liquidity events that do eventually

[15:40] flow back into crypto. So FOMC dates

[15:42] this upcoming year. We have March 17th,

[15:45] April 28th, June 16th, July 28th,

[15:47] September 15th, October 27th, and then

[15:50] December 8th. Those are a lot of

[15:51] opportunities for us to get those

[15:52] interest rate cuts and we just need to

[15:54] hit on a few of them for us to start

[15:55] seeing one of the confluences of this

[15:58] massive storm once again to brew. With

[16:00] PAL also coming out of office on May

[16:02] 15th and us getting Kevin Worsh, it's

[16:04] going to make for an interesting time.

[16:05] So since the 1950, the average one-year

[16:08] return following midterms has been about

[16:10] 15.4%. That's actually twice the return

[16:13] of all other years. And historically,

[16:15] it's great for markets. Now, there are

[16:17] three reasons for this. Number one, you

[16:19] get policy certainty. There's nothing

[16:21] that shakes up the market more than all

[16:22] this policy and all these politics and

[16:25] people arguing and markets just not

[16:28] knowing what's going to happen next.

[16:30] Well, once the election is over and the

[16:31] legislative agenda gets locked in for

[16:33] another 2 years, you get certainty.

[16:35] Second, the president's party often

[16:38] times always loses their seat, which

[16:40] means we see even more gridlocks. Now

[16:42] gridlocks and undecisiveness is not

[16:44] great for you know developing an amazing

[16:47] country that we live in today in the US

[16:49] but it is good for the markets. The

[16:51] reason is if there isn't an agreement

[16:53] being made the markets cannot be

[16:55] surprised. Less surprise means we have

[16:58] less spending which means we have more

[17:00] market confidence. You need confidence

[17:01] for people to start feeling good and

[17:03] euphoric and that's when bull runs turn

[17:05] on. Third and this is the big one.

[17:07] Presidents will oftent times frontload

[17:10] all the pain in year 1 and two and then

[17:13] juice the economy up for year three and

[17:15] four so that when they're up for

[17:17] reelection they have their best odds.

[17:19] We've seen many presidents follow this

[17:20] strategy in the past and Trump is no

[17:22] exception to that. Now, those are your

[17:24] main key triggers and catalysts to be on

[17:26] the lookout for interest rate cuts,

[17:28] Bitcoin having serving as the next new

[17:30] narrative for when things start to

[17:32] rally. Midterms, and there's going to be

[17:34] some things in between. You want to look

[17:35] out for war developments. Okay, I think

[17:38] a lot of people are underestimating what

[17:40] is happening in Iran. And there is still

[17:42] a very strong possibility that by the

[17:44] time this video is up, we actually see

[17:46] the Iran war continue again. When we get

[17:49] announcements that another war happens,

[17:51] we are going to see a massive dip in the

[17:53] market. This might be what actually

[17:54] helps us to see Bitcoin slide under

[17:56] $50,000. But like I said, anytime you

[17:59] see additional blood, just know that

[18:00] when you're able to zoom out even more,

[18:03] you can see this as a great opportunity

[18:05] to buy up the dip. Just the big thing is

[18:07] guys, don't buy up the dip mindlessly.

[18:09] So many people just buy up the dip

[18:11] thinking they're a genius when you do

[18:14] not see instant recoveries. The only

[18:16] time that strategy works where you just

[18:19] buy up the dip is when you're already in

[18:21] an uptrending market structure. This

[18:23] means we're already in a bull run. In

[18:25] those moments, yes, when we get a dip,

[18:27] buy it because things are already going

[18:29] to bounce and go back up, but we are in

[18:31] a downtrending market. When you buy up

[18:33] those dips, the blood can bleed out

[18:35] more. And it's a concept I know where if

[18:37] you're investing for the next 5 to 10

[18:39] years, it doesn't matter. But a lot of

[18:41] people don't know the difference between

[18:43] time frames, their risk tolerance. They

[18:45] just think they're a genius for buying

[18:47] up the dip because they're the

[18:48] courageous one when everyone is afraid.

[18:50] But there's a reason why people are

[18:51] afraid during these times. All right, so

[18:53] with all of that said, how am I

[18:55] investing in this upcoming year? What am

[18:57] I going to do different? How am I really

[18:59] going to make all this money once more?

[19:01] Well, I was skeptical about it a few

[19:02] years ago until I saw it happen. For any

[19:04] of the receipts that you guys might

[19:06] need, we have tons and tons of publicly

[19:09] published YouTube videos that we've made

[19:11] over the last 2 3 years. And I also have

[19:13] all my live streams and Discord updates

[19:15] that I post in Kaizen where my community

[19:18] has been able to follow along on all the

[19:20] plays that have helped us make a lot of

[19:22] money. So I'm not saying this over and

[19:24] over again to to my own horn. Honestly,

[19:26] in those moments, it was crazy, but it

[19:28] never felt like it's because I was so

[19:30] smart. It was simply because I trusted

[19:32] in the system. I had faith in God and I

[19:34] put in the work. I put my head down and

[19:36] I just continued to research and have

[19:37] conviction even in the moments when

[19:39] nobody else did. All right, so here's

[19:41] what I'm going to do this year. I am

[19:42] going to be diversifying a good bit of

[19:44] my portfolio into stocks. In the last

[19:46] year, I've invested millions of dollars

[19:48] of what I've made back into the markets.

[19:50] I've got my exposure in private markets,

[19:53] AI, robotics, in companies that are

[19:55] going to IPO soon for the same reason

[19:57] why I mentioned earlier in this video

[19:58] why I like stocks. It's mainly because

[20:00] even if crypto happens to go down more

[20:02] or prediction and thesis on crypto gets

[20:05] invalidated once more, because I've been

[20:07] wrong plenty of times, guys, in the

[20:08] past, I could be wrong again about where

[20:10] we head in the future. But as long as

[20:12] you manage your risk, which is something

[20:14] that I've learned to do the hard way

[20:15] over the years after nearly almost

[20:17] losing everything after the 2021 cycle,

[20:20] I know that as long as you're able to

[20:21] size up in the right early narratives

[20:23] and the right plays, and you don't go

[20:25] completely, DJ, those bigger winners

[20:27] will often times make up for the losers

[20:29] that you have. That's ultimately the

[20:31] goal. You're not going to hit on

[20:32] everything. You're not going to always

[20:33] bat and hit a home run. Nobody in the

[20:36] world can. But as long as you hit a few

[20:38] of those home runs, and they are truly

[20:40] home runs that are flying to the stars,

[20:42] your losses become a very small fraction

[20:45] in the grand scheme of the growth of

[20:47] your portfolio. I'm going to be making

[20:48] some more videos on my favorite plays

[20:50] within the stock market. But there are

[20:52] some very juicy narratives that I think

[20:54] over the next 5 to 10 years are going to

[20:56] create true generational wealth. The

[20:58] problem with stocks is a lot of times

[21:00] that market moves a lot slower than

[21:02] crypto does. But because of the

[21:04] advancements we're seeing in AI, the

[21:06] money that's flowing into defense

[21:07] contracts, the growth in the health

[21:09] industry, peptides, GLP1, I mean, things

[21:11] that I'm really bullish on, nuclear

[21:14] energy drones defense software

[21:17] there's an ocean that is already filled

[21:19] with some of the biggest sharks eating

[21:21] everyone up. But the difference between

[21:23] stocks and crypto is that the ocean in

[21:24] crypto, it's like a little kiddie pool.

[21:26] Sometimes it feels small. And that could

[21:28] also be your edge. But the beauty about

[21:30] stocks is that the ocean is a lot

[21:32] bigger. It's a lot more evergreen. And

[21:34] regardless of how many megalodons are in

[21:36] there, as long as you get still a small

[21:38] fraction and you don't get greedy, you

[21:40] can still balance a portfolio and grow

[21:42] that over time. Now, that's not to say

[21:44] you're not going to get like 10 20 xers

[21:46] in the stock market. That still happens.

[21:48] We are going to see more and more of

[21:50] that happen over the next coming years.

[21:52] This is where I think it's important for

[21:53] anyone who's watching, if you're just

[21:55] allin on crypto, this is the time where

[21:57] I really want to encourage you to be

[21:58] open-minded and to also make sure that

[22:01] just like I am, consider diversifying

[22:03] properly. So last year, I made $250,000

[22:05] just playing those preo stocks. That was

[22:08] the one of the best riskreward

[22:09] asymmetric opportunities ever because I

[22:11] was buying in preipo shares and they

[22:13] were getting launched at 2, three, four,

[22:16] 5x what your preipo share qualifications

[22:19] were. Those moments don't happen all the

[22:21] time. It is actually pretty rare, but it

[22:23] does come around. And I think in this

[22:25] moment, we're going to start seeing it

[22:26] with the AI and prediction markets.

[22:29] Right now, a lot of people are using AI

[22:30] in a variety of different ways, but

[22:32] don't dismiss, don't sleep on the fact

[22:34] that AI can outwork humans. It can

[22:37] outsmart us with the research. And I

[22:39] believe we are going to see a future

[22:40] where there are going to be AI agents

[22:43] that are able to help you as a trader or

[22:45] investor make more money than a wealth

[22:47] fund manager or someone who manages your

[22:50] finances could. We're still a little bit

[22:52] early, but give it some time and I bet

[22:54] you we're going to start seeing more

[22:55] headlines, more stories of how someone

[22:56] was able to make X amount using AI or

[22:59] how their AI agent made them a million

[23:01] dollars investing for them. I remember 5

[23:03] to 10 years ago was a trend to get your

[23:05] goldfish to choose what stocks you're

[23:07] going to buy it for. oftentimes that

[23:09] still outperformed humans. Within the

[23:11] next year, be on the lookout for AI. I'm

[23:13] telling y'all that and markets like

[23:15] prediction markets where inside trading

[23:16] is becoming even more easier than ever

[23:19] before. There are going to be a lot of

[23:21] moments where you can seize the

[23:23] opportunity. I just hope that you guys,

[23:24] whatever you all do, do it ethically,

[23:26] but keep an open mind because truly the

[23:29] more creative you can get, the more

[23:30] adaptable that you learn to be, just

[23:32] like we've seen many times before, those

[23:35] people will be rewarded. Now, although

[23:36] long-term I'm bullish on gold and

[23:39] silver, these are assets that have

[23:41] already broken an all-time high. Now, if

[23:43] you're a high lever trader, I think you

[23:44] could still do well there. If you're

[23:46] trying to invest for the next 10 to 20

[23:47] years and you want to diversify into

[23:49] that, that's fine. But I have no

[23:51] interest in buying gold and silver at

[23:52] these levels. I don't see asymmetric

[23:54] upside there. I see asymmetric upside in

[23:56] pretty much any asset that is down 50,

[23:59] 60, 70, 80% from where it was before.

[24:02] Crypto, it's on its way of being there.

[24:04] There are other individual stocks that I

[24:06] like like Robin Hood. It's been going

[24:08] down ever since it hit its all-time

[24:09] high. Those are going to be your biggest

[24:11] winners. Not often the ones where you're

[24:13] top blasting when the markets are

[24:14] trading within a range, but it's the

[24:16] ones where fundamentally you have

[24:18] conviction in that you know is strong

[24:19] that will continue to build over the

[24:21] next 3 five plus years and that you can

[24:24] load up heavily on with a good enough

[24:26] diversified split. You can expect to see

[24:28] a four to 5x on the table. It's not out

[24:30] of the picture. I mean look at SanDisk.

[24:32] Look at plenty of these AI stocks that

[24:35] have gone up even more than that in the

[24:37] last one year. If you're starting out

[24:39] with $200 to $300,000 and you hit a 4 to

[24:42] 5x, you've made a million dollars in the

[24:44] market. Now, here's the biggest

[24:46] contrarian take. Okay, out of all

[24:48] assets, the ones that people ignore the

[24:51] most are going to be the ones where you

[24:53] see the biggest wins. Now, look,

[24:55] depending on your own risk tolerance,

[24:56] here's what I'd say. If you're truly

[24:59] aggressive, you're acknowledging that

[25:00] this can also just continue to tank for

[25:02] a while longer, all coins are going to

[25:05] be your best asymmetric bet out of all

[25:07] the things that I've said. Bitcoin, even

[25:09] if you buy from $50,000 and we hit say

[25:14] 175, $200,000, you're still getting

[25:16] about a 4 and a half to maybe a 5x on

[25:19] the bull case. If you're able to instead

[25:22] wait for the time when Bitcoin begins to

[25:24] bottom out and buy in alts near that

[25:26] time, I believe you're going to see

[25:28] outsized gains. So, if you're not

[25:29] working with a $200, $300,000 portfolio,

[25:32] you're trying to run up a smaller bag

[25:33] size, this is where you're really going

[25:34] to want to pay attention to over the

[25:36] next 6 to 12 months. So, I believe the

[25:38] next narratives in crypto are this.

[25:40] Number one, anything relating to AI

[25:42] agents. In the previous cycle, right

[25:44] after we had the explosion of base, we

[25:46] had virtuals. We had all those AI agents

[25:49] and I still remember one of my favorite

[25:50] plays buying up AIXVT. This was a crypto

[25:54] chatbot replying to all these people on

[25:56] Twitter. Everyone was amazed by it. I

[25:59] was top blasting. I thought it was going

[26:00] to, you know, it was way too overvalued

[26:02] at the time. It was already tens of

[26:04] millions of dollars in market cap. I put

[26:06] in 30 $40,000. That turned for me

[26:09] $750,000. and one of the few plays that

[26:11] actually didn't time the beginning

[26:12] properly but got the end right, which is

[26:15] pretty much all that mattered. The next

[26:16] massive narrative in crypto is going to

[26:19] be AI related. The one to be on the

[26:21] lookout for is X42 protocol. This here

[26:24] is an open standard development by

[26:26] Coinbase and it repurposes the old HTTP

[26:30] 402 payment required status code. For

[26:32] all my folks not into crypto, I'm

[26:34] hearing people constantly chitter

[26:36] chattering about X42. There is going to

[26:38] be a use case for this. But

[26:40] unfortunately, and also fortunately,

[26:41] there's no direct exposure. There's no

[26:43] X42 token that you can get. But if you

[26:46] realize that AI agents are already here,

[26:48] they're going to get even smarter. When

[26:50] these AI agents are trying to perform an

[26:52] action on chain, they're going to need

[26:54] USDC. There is an inception period

[26:57] between the real world, the physical

[27:00] world, us AI agents, and there needs to

[27:02] be something that glues the technology

[27:05] in between. That is where I believe in

[27:06] this next cycle, we're going to see the

[27:08] adoption of crypto come alive once more.

[27:11] In this upcoming cycle, we truly need to

[27:13] see tech that has utility and works.

[27:16] Coinbase launched agent kit wallets back

[27:18] on February 11th. There's already been

[27:20] proven use case with the X42 protocol

[27:22] and something we've talked about for

[27:24] many, many months now. For the upcoming

[27:26] cycle, I'm watching virtuals. I think

[27:28] this is also going to have another leg

[27:29] up. And if it breaks previous all-time

[27:31] highs from even at current levels today,

[27:33] well, that's already a 667%

[27:37] gain. But more than likely, if it breaks

[27:39] previous all-time highs, we could see

[27:41] another tremendous leg up in the next

[27:42] cycle. I do think meme coins are going

[27:44] to pick up. Memecoins and crypto is like

[27:46] PB&J. It's always going to be together

[27:49] and crypto is not going to blow up and

[27:50] meme coins get held behind. In previous

[27:52] cycles, we had Doge in 2021. We had

[27:55] Sheba Enu. We had Bonk after that. We

[27:57] had Dog Whiff Hat. We had ski mass dog.

[28:00] This upcoming year I think memecoins are

[28:02] going to have another run again before

[28:03] you start getting into some of these

[28:05] sub10 $50 million market cap coins. I

[28:08] the ones that have continued to build

[28:10] and continue to have grown throughout

[28:12] this bare market. I think one of the

[28:14] safer more conservative plays here is

[28:16] going to be Pangu. Pangu is the meme

[28:18] coin for the Pudgy Penguins token. At

[28:20] the time of filming this video, if it

[28:22] reaches previous all-time highs, that's

[28:24] also another 600% gainer from the price

[28:27] where it's at today. Pudgy Penguins has

[28:29] literally been on that sphere in Vegas.

[28:31] They have their plushies everywhere.

[28:33] Rumors are they got even more things

[28:34] that they're working on, whether it's

[28:36] shows or games or who knows the

[28:38] different collaborations that they're

[28:39] going to have because they've already

[28:40] been on race cars and so many things and

[28:43] already gotten billions of views and

[28:45] impressions with their gift. I think

[28:47] there's always a blue chip memecoin and

[28:49] this is one of them. I'm not saying go

[28:51] ahead and just fullport this right now,

[28:52] but I'm saying at least add this to your

[28:54] watch list because when Bitcoin does

[28:56] begin to bottom out, these are the

[28:57] tokens where when Bitcoin moves up 5%,

[29:00] these are up 20, 30, 40% in a single

[29:03] day. On top of that, Pudgy Penguin's

[29:04] also related to the whole abstract

[29:06] ecosystem. In the same way that we were

[29:08] able to frontr run base and make

[29:09] millions of dollars, there are going to

[29:11] be other ecosystems and different layer

[29:14] ones that get published. Pudgy Penguins

[29:16] is the follow-up and predecessor to

[29:18] Abstract. Abstract, I know, has been

[29:20] cooking over the last few years. We've

[29:21] talked about him enough times on this

[29:23] channel, and when the market conditions

[29:25] do turn around, I believe that is going

[29:27] to be an area where we see a lot of

[29:28] liquidity flow. Now, we also have

[29:30] Kraken. They're trying to create ink

[29:32] chain, something we've also discussed.

[29:33] I'm not overly bullish on this one just

[29:35] yet. I don't know what they're going to

[29:36] do differently, how they're going to get

[29:38] market dominance, especially when Bass

[29:40] has been doing so well in the last few

[29:43] cycles, but I never want to dismiss any

[29:45] project or company, and there's also a

[29:47] possibility for them to run when they do

[29:49] come out with a token. Three other

[29:51] narratives to be on the lookout for.

[29:52] Number one, real world assets. Larry

[29:54] Frink has talked about tokenization and

[29:56] bringing the world on chain. If this man

[29:58] is going to say he believes something's

[30:00] going to happen, I'm I'm going to take

[30:01] his word for it, okay? I'm not going to

[30:03] sleep on him. The problem with real

[30:04] world assets right now is that there

[30:06] aren't many good exposure plays. We had

[30:08] which we've been tracking ever since

[30:10] they released and a token like that

[30:12] hasn't had much upside. There were some

[30:14] days where it went up during the last

[30:16] cycle, but overall RWA's until I see a

[30:19] clear definitive play where there is

[30:22] unique upside, I'm just going to

[30:24] acknowledge that as a narrative, but

[30:25] also realize there isn't asymmetric

[30:28] upside in there just yet. Next market to

[30:30] be on the lookout for, DeFi. Defi is

[30:32] always going to be around, guys. My

[30:33] favorite DeFi product has been a

[30:35] honestly instead of crypto. I think they

[30:37] should have just gone to the public

[30:38] stock market. But this is a team that's

[30:39] continued to build. You can just

[30:41] download and check out their app and it

[30:42] doesn't look any different than a

[30:44] legitimate web 2 app. It's something

[30:46] where you can earn consistent yield. You

[30:48] don't have to worry about their cash

[30:49] reserves. Everything is audited. They've

[30:51] been building it up. I mean, you always

[30:53] want to be careful in crypto, but this

[30:55] is definitely one of those plays where

[30:57] if crypto had direct correlation with

[30:59] how good a project actually is, a should

[31:02] be easily a top 10 coin on the charts.

[31:05] Last but not least here, I need to talk

[31:07] about good projects that have buyback

[31:09] revenue mechanisms built in. Hyperlid is

[31:12] going to be one of them. Hyperlid, I

[31:14] believe, is still very undervalued.

[31:15] They've actually been outperforming most

[31:17] assets and Bitcoin since the year has

[31:19] started. Hyperlid today is at $27. I

[31:22] would not be surprised if when the

[31:24] market really picks up, we see Hyperlid

[31:26] hitting $100. This is one of those

[31:28] projects where they've aird dropped tens

[31:30] of billions of dollars back to the

[31:32] crypto world. Their team has continued

[31:34] to build. A lot of people love Hyperlid.

[31:36] It's a top number 13 crypto and I

[31:38] believe a lot of new money, a lot of

[31:40] investors, a lot of traders are going to

[31:42] be eyeing this for when the market

[31:43] conditions do flip back on. On top of

[31:45] Hyperlid, you also have Pump. You cannot

[31:47] neglect Pump. They are number 72.

[31:50] They've been going down in price a lot

[31:52] and they've also turned on buyback

[31:54] mechanisms in the past. I don't think

[31:56] this is a team that's just going to

[31:57] disappear. They've generated tons and

[31:59] tons of revenue. They're continuing to

[32:01] still invest throughout these times. And

[32:03] in terms of upside, well, from current

[32:05] market lows to where we were before, at

[32:06] least a 422% still. Now, this upcoming

[32:10] cycle, I do think it's going to be

[32:11] different. And I do think there's a

[32:13] strong possibility we see a resurgence

[32:15] of all the things that have died in

[32:17] previous cycles. Look, I know so many

[32:19] people hate NFTTS. Y'all are you you got

[32:22] your own opinion depending on if you

[32:23] made money or not. Despite what most

[32:25] people think, I believe NFTTS were

[32:27] successful. They came in, they were

[32:29] massively adopted. Celebrities came in

[32:31] and although big companies like Yuga

[32:33] Labs and mega hedge funds pretty much

[32:36] rugged retail and owned most of the

[32:38] supply and that market really never had

[32:40] a chance to continue to develop because

[32:42] people just got capped out after the

[32:44] profile picks and throwing events. With

[32:46] all these companies like Meta and even

[32:48] Oakley creating new hardware tech that

[32:51] allows you to converge the real world

[32:53] into the digital world and vice versa,

[32:55] there is a place for NFTs. I'm still

[32:57] bullish on it. Now, despite what many

[32:59] people say, I believe towards the latter

[33:00] half of 2027 going to 2028, we are going

[33:03] to see at least another resurgence of

[33:04] NFTs and hopefully in that moment it

[33:06] ends up sticking. Now, the way this

[33:08] upcoming cycle is going to be different

[33:09] is everything is going to get a lot

[33:11] easier. So, there's still a lot of

[33:13] friction in crypto. Whether you're

[33:14] trying to migrate your token or bridge

[33:17] one token to another token, all this

[33:19] should be solved with all the tech

[33:21] that's being built right now. There's

[33:22] more than a strong possibility you're

[33:24] going to be able to tell an AI what to

[33:26] do and it's going to do exactly what you

[33:28] need it to. Bridge this, transfer that,

[33:30] buy up x amount of this, help me to grow

[33:31] my portfolio. And whoever can get that

[33:34] right during this time until the market

[33:36] conditions pick up again are going to be

[33:38] one of the biggest winners in all of

[33:40] crypto. Last but not least, a quick word

[33:42] of wisdom to just wrap up this video.

[33:43] The verse is James 14. Your job, folks,

[33:46] right now is to be as patient as

[33:48] possible. The people who win in this

[33:50] upcoming cycle are the ones who are

[33:51] going to be able to sit through the

[33:52] fire, who are going to be able to make

[33:54] decisive, calculated choices and to hold

[33:57] off on the pleasures of life. I know

[33:58] everyone's dying to get that new

[34:00] Porsche, get the new house. I want to

[34:02] encourage y'all to exercise extra

[34:04] patience because with prediction markets

[34:06] and gambling becoming even more

[34:08] accessible, everyone is trying to rush

[34:10] this ability of making money. But for

[34:12] those who are able to stay patient from

[34:14] now to when crypto markets start to pick

[34:16] up or that bull run even outside of

[34:18] crypto and stocks really start moving,

[34:21] those are the ones who are going to be

[34:22] able to reap what they sow. So, if you

[34:24] did find any value in this video, be

[34:25] sure to drop a like here. Comment down

[34:27] below just just something cuz it's been

[34:29] a while. All right, follow me on

[34:30] Instagram. I I've been posting random

[34:32] stuff there about my family, my dog, my

[34:35] cars. In Kaizen, we've been cooking

[34:36] something incredible. We just

[34:38] established a partnership with a brand

[34:40] new company called Genesis. This here is

[34:42] a free tool for our members that helps

[34:44] them to get a better edge in trading.

[34:46] Look, the one thing I hate about trading

[34:48] is that it's still so mechanical.

[34:50] There's still all these rules you got to

[34:52] follow. You got to discipline and

[34:53] meditate 24/7. Look, with how good AI is

[34:55] and how long trading has been around,

[34:57] there are tools now that exist that can

[34:59] help you out. This is something that I

[35:01] truly believe can help someone who's

[35:02] trying to trade and actually get their

[35:04] reps up in this market without losing it

[35:06] all, to improve their edge, and to

[35:08] ultimately become a consistent,

[35:09] profitable trader. If you want to learn

[35:10] more about those tools, I have links

[35:12] down below in the description for you

[35:13] guys to check out. Last but not least,

[35:15] if you guys want to check us out in

[35:16] Kaizen, I'm going to be dropping a free

[35:18] trial down below and possibly a discount

[35:20] code. Maybe like a little bare market

[35:21] discount code or something just for you

[35:23] guys to get your toes wet, see what our

[35:25] community is about. I'll link for that

[35:27] also down below. Thank you guys so much

[35:29] for joining this video. All right, I

[35:30] love y'all. Have a good night.
