Foreign. Everybody. Welcome Back to the Crypto 101 podcast presented by Gemini, your bridge to the future of money. And if you're here, you are in the right place. If you're here, you're somebody who's not afraid of a little adversity. You are not somebody who said this is supposed to be easy. You're somebody might be looking for answers, might be looking for education or. Or might be primed in the right position to take advantage of the volatility that you're seeing on the screen. I'll tell you what, folks, most people might see this volatility and say, hey, we're not going to stick to the schedule of doing three to four episodes a week. We're going to back away from our takes because it's too much to bear. Not us, not the Crypto 101 podcast, not Brian and Joe showing up on a Friday. And I'll tell you what, boys, not the family of the Crypto 101 podcast, YouTube. We have over, I think 90 to 100 people with this live right off the jump because they want to know what's going on. We do this together. So if you're new here, guys, on the bottom right there's a picture of our logo. Hit it. Subscribe, give the video a like we're coming with all the firepower. Today we're going to go over the history of bitcoin declines. We have some interesting information around realized losses at an all time high. RSI levels are at the end of what we've seen in past bear markets. The, the fear and greed index might be broken to the downside. We are in extreme fear. We've got more stuff on some bitcoin loans, Solana ETFs, we've got some presidential tweets coming out as we always do. And then Brian and Joe are going over the top news in the momentum money maker side. Some of the top news of the memes and the NFTs. But I gotta tell you guys, they have had some winners in the last two weeks as well. People might not believe that, but it is absolutely true. If you've been in their group, you have seen the calls you even when there's blood in the streets, these guys are finding one, two X's. It's unbelievable. Brian and Joe, welcome back to the show. Brian, we were here earlier in the week trying to calm down, trying to find some answers. It's still hectic out there, but again we face the music. We show up. How are you, my friend? Happy Friday.
B
Oh, man, what an intro there. I, I don't even need to say anything, it was so perfect. But hey, I'm doing well. Friday definitely gave touch a little bit of grass. I know we're down a little bit since we last talked. Talked and you know, some reasons, you know, why. Some, some, everyone's kind of, you know, scrambling a little bit. Fear and greed's at an all time low, but we're here to talk through it with everyone and, you know, answer as many questions as we can about the market.
A
Yeah. And then Joe, we haven't had you on a rundown a while. We know you've been traveling, doing a lot of research, pounding the streets. But you're here to deliver us what you've seen around the world and your takes. How are you, my friend?
C
I'm. I don't know, I'm like the opposite. Everyone. I'm doing great. Maybe because I came back from a two week vacay even though its markets are not favorable and in the near term. But I'm super excited. Maybe it's all due to you. Tivo when we have a self promotion here. We have a hedge fund summit coming up. I've interviewed like four fire projects, company CEOs. I'm like, I don't know what the market's doing because I'm just too busy talking to people about building, you know, and that's what people do. Like the great companies build during all times. Right. No matter the market.
A
Yep. No. 100 and I had all my friends. This is the. We've talked about this with Brian. It's like, you know, there's the top signals of when people are asking, should they buy? Now we're kind of getting to actually the opposite end of that where people are starting to clown. People are making fun of me. I've been going to some dinners, I've been out and about, I'm wearing, I. Listen, I'm sorry. I came into my office this morning, I was like, I'm sorry, is the light still on? Does the light still work, guys? Is it still on? Let me tell you, it is. Listen, if you're, if you're crying over some spilled milk about a 30% decline, you haven't been in the industry long enough. You haven't been in the depths of a bear market. You haven't gone through an FTX collapse where it's on the major news networks across the country where your own mother calls you and says, hey, I know you're into that bitcoin thing. Do you still have a job? Are you still employed? Guys, listen, I know it's hectic, I know it's troublesome, but again, we have an awesome community here. And whether you're inside the community of Cryp Nation or you're part of our YouTube community or podcast community, we really do appreciate you for showing up. You've heard me over the time say some things repetitively, and one of the things that I do say a lot is the prices go up, the numbers go up, the downloads come in, everybody starts listening. And we're honest here at the Crypto 101 podcast, we're pretty. Prices go down, listenership drops. So if you're here, you're in the right spot because you're going to look back to these episodes, three, six, nine a year out, and you're going to say, wow, remember when we were talking about this stuff? Remember what we broke down about the opportunities we're here to do it. So let's break this down. Some of this stuff might be a little repetitive from what Brian and I talked about, but I think it's just really important to hammer home. And some of it's going to be new. So I'm going to pull up this chart here. Guys, we're around. We're below this at this point. We, we hit, what, 80 this morning? So we're about like 35 to 37 from all time highs in early October. It's the biggest drawdown since April. We remember that. If you're a listener, man, my slack's going crazy. Come on, guys. Don't we know we're live? Don't we know that we're a live company on air right now? Unbelievable. Let's pause that and get back to the show. 36,7% from the all time highs. We've seen this before. If you're a longtime listener, you were here with us in April and we covered the same thing. So, guys, I want to toss it to you. Brian, does anything jump off at this chart? Kind of going back again, the early days of Bitcoin, 2010, 2011. I personally don't think that's too comparable to today, but again, once you hit 15, 17, 18, 20s, and then you can see we've done it in 24, we've done it in 25. So again, like, the returns to all time highs are ranging from 40 to, you know, 1500, 500 in that time frame. So does anything jump out from this chart to you that, that we haven't spoke on yet? All right, Cryp Nation fam. Let's pause for one second and talk about an important issue going on right now, and that's sim swap attacks. Sim swap attacks are becoming a serious threat, especially in crypto. If someone gets control of your phone number, they can access your bank accounts, your exchanges, emails, and even your private messages. That's why the Crypto 101 podcast is partnered with Afani. It's America's most secure mobile service, offering a guaranteed protection against SIM swaps with added privacy. Since launching, not one single Affani user has ever been SIM swapped. And for some reason, if it ever does happen, you're backed by up to $5 million in insurance against financial losses. This is literally why we chose to partner with them. It is. Our favorite thing about Afani is the insurance policy of up to $5 million. If it does happen to you, Afani runs on either AT&T or the Verizon network and you get to choose which one.

B
I mean I think the point to hammer home is there's volatility in the crypto market. That's a big reason why we all are attracted to it as well because we, we love it when the price goes up massively and fast on bullish news. But we can always come back. There's a lot of reasons why that these pullbacks are not necessarily a horrible thing. It's something that flushes out some longs, it kind of restabilizes the markets and it gives us a better entry fundamentally. I'll preach this, scream this from the hilltops. Nothing has changed with bitcoin in the cryptocurrencies and like Joe said, we're talking with founders and people building in the space, utilizing blockchain and utilizing the web3world to make a better world. This is very disruptive technology and of course it's going to succeed. But we have these pullbacks. Nothing goes up in a straight line. I personally did think we were getting chopped for quite some time. We were and maybe have some pullbacks and probably not as aggressive but people are scared now. It does feel, I, I don't want to sound too stupid but it does feel very bottomy here. It, it really does. I, I, it's not to say that we won't go a little lower but like specifically like today and yesterday people are talking about shorting, shorting this, shorting that, shorting the market. If we were going to short we, we probably should have did it a couple weeks ago. You know, obviously before December, I mean October 10th, whenever this really started going even a week out would have been like a great short. I don't think it's the time to short right now. I think we're flushing out and you can see we have these pullbacks but then we have these V shaped recoveries and I do think we're going to get a nice recovery but we might be in some pain.
A
Yeah, Joe, and this is your first time speaking on this chart, this topic kind of at a macro level. So anything for the listeners. We've got got some people in, Johnny's looking for the vibes. Johnny's all the way listening from Canada. So can you give John up in Canada some Vibes on this chart, Joe.
C
Yeah. Overall bullish. Well, because the red is highlights the decline. Right. Which is far larger. What you alluded to TiVo, you know of the 30% drop that we're seeing. It's tempered by all measures. Like Sailor went on, I don't know if it was fortune or whatever and he basically said the volatility is going to come down during time as institution helps to stabilize the markets and we're seeing that. I just typed into ChatGPT. The daily volatility of Bitcoin today is 3.4% about twice that of gold and twice that of the S&P 500 which you know, it seems on par with what's going on in the market. If we look start at a year to now it's only down 13, 15% starting 2025 and 22. The end of 2025. We're not even at the end of 2025 yet with the highest IQ person ever recorded saying that we're 45 days away from a 220,000 dollar Bitcoin. So come back for the live stream at the end of the year with this. This may I may be wrong because we may not be down 15%, we may be up. But yeah, I've been through this roller coaster. So this is not even a roller coaster. This is like a toddler Disneyland ride which I went on a lot on during my, my trip these last two weeks.
A
I love that guys, and exactly, that's why you're here. That's part of what I always try to, you know, tell the people that are new is like hey, this is the community. Johnny from Canada just said he just finished watching the newsletter from Momentum Money Makers and he's hyped to see us live. This is what we do. This is our career path. We're here. The highs, we're hearing the lows. But let's go over some other information that we haven't gone over this week. I thought this one was interesting. It's bitcoin capitulation. So short term holders that are underwater. Short term holders. So you know again long term versus short term. So in 2020, the COVID crash, we had 92% of short term holders were at a loss. 2022, the FTX collapse, some of you might remember that 94% were in a loss and Bitcoin is at $16,000. We were making podcasts back then. My hand up, my own mother was calling me again. Like I said the open of the show to wondering if I still had a job. That's a true story. But Bitcoin was $16,000, 94% a loss. We were still here at the Crypto 101 podcast pumping out episodes. So today at $89,000 per Bitcoin, which again, it's lower now, is at 80, 99 in a lot. So I guess you have to go and say short term holders are at could. I guess it depends on the stats. Let's say what a short term holder is. Sorry, I keep moving away from the mic. It doesn't give us the exact dates here. So they're saying from. Yeah, I guess we don't know how long, whether it's like, you know, four weeks, three weeks, three months, whatever. But they're saying that 99 were at a loss at 89. So if we're down at 82. Two, it's got to be 99.9 at this point. And another thing similar to this, this is the realized loss. So this is people that are actually selling bitcoin at a loss. Bitcoin's realized loss surges to levels last seen during the FTX collapse. Let's pull this bad boy up. Absolutely skyrocketing. Absolutely skyrocketing. Beating there. So like let's. We'll have to see again, this lasted a little longer than we are now. Are we out of the woods yet? Nobody has that crystal ball. We're trying to gather as much information as we. As we can. And let me pull up the. What should we go from here? A little Fear Greed Index just to check it out. We can click around those and then I do have a clip for us. So let's share this bad boy. We are at 11. We're. We're at 11 on coin market cap, everybody. I've seen some. I think one indicator was like, it was like an 8 or a 9. So again, it doesn't, it really doesn't get much lower than this. Joe, Brian and I have tossed around the, the fear and greed for a while. Here's another one that Cryptos r us posted FTX collapse on his was a 12. We're at 9 now on his. So Joe, what, what are we doing here? I mean, is this. The needle's going to break. You've seen that meme right where the needle on the Fear Greed Index breaks. I feel like we're getting close.
C
Yeah, I saw, I saw today as I was doing my market update. The Fer and greed index for the S and P is at a five. So it's even lower for macro markets. They wiped A trillion dollars in the last 24 hours. I see this as an indicator for myself. I talk about all the time with our private community. When this swings to this side, I'm buying. When it swings on the other side, you're rotating into, you know, you know, to, to diversify your portfolio. That's what people should do in terms of, you know, depending on their financial appetite and portfolio. So I'm sorry to say that I use this as a personal indicator.
A
Yeah. And then Brian, you got anything to, to add? Is this thing just slowly but surely keeps going down.
B
It's shockingly low to me and I get it. We're all fearful. We don't like to see it go from 122 to 82. Nobody likes that. And that's a huge swing. And there's a lot of questions out there why this is happening. And you know, we can point the finger at a few catalysts that here and there, but nothing like you alluded to earlier about like an FTX collapse or when stuff was like really ugly. And I say I use that time because I've been in crypto for a long time. The FTX collapse, I felt low. That was, that was a real fear and greed for me. Extreme fear and grief. I was like the whole world just got rugged. Tom Brady is on the news right now. Like lost 300 million. If it was true or not or however that happened. Those were real headlines. It was tough waking up every day and facing the music because it was scary. Doesn't feel like that right now. This is an all time low Fear and your fear and greed for the year, I get it. But it doesn't feel that way. And Joe, Joe hit the nail on the head. I think this is when we really start not financial advice. Want to clarify that but I'm personally looking to dollar cost average in and it may go a little lower. But how low can this go? We're bottomed here. People are asking me how to short. Like I'm getting text messages from guys that never vlogged. So that's, it's, it feels like we're finding a bottom. So the fear and greed's low. But I, I don't know, I'm not too shaken up personally. Maybe I'm crazy.
A
I think the, this is a good like thought brogan thing that I've been going through is like the FTX thing was really low because it was, it was so much national news and then the tariff thing was low. But I think definitely for everybody that was around for that, you Remember listening to these shows and being part in the community, we saw through that. Like, we knew the fundamentals didn't change in this storyline. We kind of, you know, as a team are like, ah, it's kind of B.S. like, you know, this isn't going to crumble. The, you know, the, the world economic order, like this is a huge overreaction and then people start getting unwound and all that. But like, you had a fundamental thesis of seeing through the volatility. I think what's bothering people a little more, and I'd love your thoughts on this because I've have trouble, I'm having trouble with this right now myself, is like the fundamentals for our thesis on Bitcoin, Ethereum Salana. Like that hasn't changed and we have the stats to back that up. Like, no crazy selling from IBIT. We're going to touch on the Solana ETFs that have nothing but inflows for the last two weeks while salon has fallen off the table. So it's like, okay, the volatility is here, the price action's awful, and the fundamentals haven't changed. But how do I see through this, what's causing this? And like, you don't, you don't necessarily have all the answers is what I came up with. Like sometimes you just wake up and you see the markets are up and down and you're trying to find the news and you can't figure it out. And you got to remember that you're trading against a lot of like, algorithms, right? You're trading against a lot of robots. These robots made robots that made these algorithms and now they're trading against each other. And I, I use the stock market a little bit as a gauge because yesterday there was this huge crazy sell off. Amazon's down, Google's down, everything's down. And then today everything's up. It's up, it's up. It's like, I don't know what's changed in the last 24 hours. And there's just a lot of these algorithmic traders going after each other. So again, I think that's kind of a part of it in that the big swings. You gotta look kind of past that. But then do you guys have any thoughts on what, what's going on in the broader sense and seeing three through it.
B
I'm just gonna throw a few things in here until, and then kick it over to Joe. I think back with the tariff trade tivo like you bring up is that we knew kind of the solution was is just to like handle the tariffs. Like we fixed that and the market comes back and that was, that was the catalyst to get us out of that current slump. We saw a path there. Right now it doesn't feel like there's one catalyst to get us out of the current drip and what we're seeing and why it's so low and I think that's why it's concerning. But when I really think about it, I mean at the end of the day it really started on October 10th. We were like 122,000 and I was doing kind of my own thought process about this because wanted to really understand what's, what's going on. And we saw some massive declines from that point on right to where we are. And you said, like you said we're trading against some algorithms. There's a, there's a lot of volatility in, in the alts right now. And then when we talk about like the dats as well, this DAT bubble seemed to have had a little bit of a burst and that's caused, you know, the Dats were 1500 and these Dats ran them up to five grand. Right now we're kind of pulling back and some of these DATs are selling. So that's causing a little bit of angst in the market. In addition to that Bitcoin right now we had the Fed rate cut it. There was a really high possibility we're gonna get another cut. Then that kind of got baked in and it looked like we weren't gonna get another cut. We have the unemployment numbers going up. I, I think they're like 4 or 5%. So this is all causing these odd catalysts in the market. But there's no real kind defined catalyst to get us out of it. I think the first step would be to get a cut in December would be really nice. Go ahead Joe.
C
Now you, you said it. But the market split though, we are over leverage as a, as a, as a lot of traders are. We have a five times lever ETFs just proposed to the SEC. We're adding, we're cumulatively have at a trillion dollars in terms of margin debt. And there's a chart that just goes straight up and to the right from 19, 1998 to today where we're just. The margin debt is just ballooning. So the market split in half. Right, exactly to what Brian was talking about. And I'll just throw one more thing in there. The search for the AI bubble is at an all time high. So people are scared yet Some people are not scared and taking more risk at the same time. So it's kind of split in the middle there. And what I personally see this is my personal opinion for this entire year. We're pretty bull on for crypto market overall. And a lot of people that I talk to, they're buying Bitcoin ETFs, they're buying this stuff, but they have no idea about the fundamentals of bitcoin. They're just buying it because it's available inside the Roth, it's available inside their fidelity for the first time ever. But do they know about, you know, people getting debanked and being your own bank and the, and the value proposition of bitcoin Answers? No, they're just buying it because everyone's doing it. And we're seeing a lot of those retail investors get out, which is great because you want to shake out the weaker hands and build a stronger foundation. So that's where I'm at.
A
Yeah, I think it's all great points fellas. And then I'm going to pull up a chart that you, you brought to us. Joe's the RSI stat of the RSI stat of the day. So the RSI is so low that it's ticking almost to the point of, of what we saw in bare markets. So do you want to explain this to the beautiful people? Yeah, I'll relate it.
C
I'll point it back to that first tweet that you mentioned, right. The 2022 and 2020 like 90, 90% plus of people are at a loss and that's exactly what we see here. The COVID 2020 and 2022, exactly those times that you mentioned is when RSI is at the lowest point ever is typically when you come out of a bear market. So basically we're supposed to be at the end of the bear market but we're only at all time highs six weeks ago. So the market is acting a bit irrational compared to those previous points of or 3 points of RSI being low. So you mentioned before we start recording that this is the fastest bear market in the world because people are calling for it to be out and the RSI indicator, you know, if you based off of previous historical, you know, data that seems to be true. So we're either entering in a little bit more, you can see that there's a little bit more room to go lower there for in terms of rsi, but we may be out of it, which is hilarious, right? And, but techn. But RSI aside, there's nothing fundamentally Broken with Bitcoin. Right. There could be something wrong with the DATs, like the, the ones that take on two leverage. But all signs are things are coming on chain, not off chain. Right. So that's why I'm not. I'm not even shaking one bit. I don't think even one millimeter. I'm super excited because nothing has changed in terms of blockchain. It's just all. All macro news, all macro sentiment, no data across a job stats because their government was closed. It's not clear data and people don't like uncertainty. So that's what it is right now.
A
Yeah. And there's. There's a lot of stuff that we've been talking about since October 10, where it was the largest liquidation in crypto history. And we've said it on the show and we've been trying to monitor it is like when, when an event like that happens, it means that at least, you know, you can kind of put the puzzle pieces together is, you know, probably some market maker blew up, right? And they have to cover and they have to find their liquidity. And when that happens, that's basically kind of similar to quantitative tightening. So if market makers are the central bank to crypto, than a market maker blowing up and having to go find its liquidity is the quantitative tightening equivalent to the central bank in the stock market. And so again, if we pull up kind of just the chart, I mean, you could do this more with Ethereum or Salon or any, any minor, all coin. But if you go to like, here's the October 10th is right, you know, right about here. And then just absolute, you know, straight line down a little bit more than a month, you know, 22%. It's ugly. It's ugly. And we kind of, we kind. I mean, we covered the largest liquidation event in history. And we kind of said, hey, this stuff takes a little bit of time to try to figure out the bodies. And, you know, again, as much as we like to face the music, we hold. We try to hold everybody accountable. And even though, Even though he's a friend of the show, you know, Tom Lee's been having to make the rounds here and kind of do some explaining. And there was a good clip of him. You know, he did a longer interview the other day. Hair looked decent. He looked, you know, hair looked decent. And that means he's, you know, got some conviction, hopefully. But he. Tom Lee, I'll let you. I'll let him tell you in his own words, but Tom Lee's on the train that, you Know, some market makers blow up and dare I say he might know who it is, even though.
B
He won't tell us behind this.
C
Like, who's the they in the market makers?
A
And they got hit.
C
Who's the they?
D
Well, you know, Brian, I am. I am aware of names, but because, you know, I'm not someone who wants to name names, I think what you should keep in mind is that this error is actually essentially a code error because they. I think in retrospect, they would have pulled pricing from across exchanges to set the price for that stable coin rather than relying internal quote.
B
So.
D
But this has resulted in a lot of market makers and traders having less capital. And as you know, as crypto prices drift lower because trading volumes drop, they need to then have more capital available, which means they shrink their balance sheet further. So this is. And that reflects, okay, who is behind this?
C
Like, who's the they?
A
And I pulled up a. I pulled up a tweet I saw just before we went live from our friend Matt Hogan that bitcoin is dead. The bitcoin is dead chart that bitwise is tracking. Kind of a summary and a little bit of a promo for next week. We had Matt Hogan on yesterday and he's one of our. Personally, you know, we have tons of great guests all year, obviously, but he's truly one of my favorite. He was making the rounds on T TV this week. I just saw him live on CNBC today and he's. He spent an hour with us and, and just to tease that episode, kind of a summary of all that we've talked about, what's going on. It's something that you're going to need to listen to. We're going to drop it next week. And he laid out this case that I think is really interesting of how, you know, without really knowing it, we've actually gone through a bare market similar to what Joe showed with the RSI and how it's bottoming like a bear market. Matt Hogan laid out this eloquent case that we've actually been in the bear market and are on the back side of it. So I don't want to speak for him. You're gonna have to tune into that episode. I thought that was a great little promo tidbit there for next week's episode. But there's a lot going on and I think that kind of trying to summarize and all this stuff and it's just so negative and, and just don't forget the fundamentals of, of what you kind of been looking at and Building again. If you've been here since ftx, there's been a lot of years and a lot of conviction. We've been doing episodes during FTX at 16, 18, 20, 25K plus for Bitcoin. Right. So we've come a long way. Don't lose sight of that. But remember those feelings, you know, maybe keep a trading journal. You got to do your own research. But it is trying times. But sometimes it's darkest before the dawn. And I thought this was fantastic. Where New Hampshire approves and launches its first ever bitcoin backed municipal bond. Let's clap it up for New Hampshire guys. I mean you gotta find some, you.
B
Got, you gotta find some good news.
A
In, in weeks like this. And, and I'll tell you this, I got family up in New Hampshire and on their license plates it reads live free or die. And they'll be living free with bitcoin backed municipal bonds. So again, a little tidbit here. I, I, it's totally hard to find positive news, but an interesting step for state legislature and bitcoin.
B
Yeah, I, I think the positive news, nobody wants to move to New Hampshire. Yeah, I mean be beautiful fall.
C
My wife went to college in New Hampshire and you go there today, you will see a giant life size poster of her at mcphs, which is a pharmacy school there. So I've stayed in New Hampshire. So I, I brought this, I reported this news when it broke this week. So I'm excited about New Hampshire. I ain't moving there, but I like New Hampshire.
B
Yeah, I think the biggest, biggest thing here is, is that it still hasn't changed that a lot of states, countries, millionaires, billionaires, smart money, still wants to utilize Bitcoin. Adopt Bitcoin. We're seeing massive accumulation as well by these huge New Hampshire, I mean utilizing Bitcoin in a very unique way. And even though the price might feel down it, we're fundamentally stronger than ever.
A
Yeah, I love, I love fundamentally strong. You know what else is fundamentally strong? These Solana ETFs. We're having Ryan on. This is Ryan from Bitwise as well. He's coming on to record with us next week and I'm really interested to deep dive into these Salon ETFs because even like I said, while Salon is falling out of bed, they've seen 17 days. Let me highlight this folks. 17 days of inflows while prices dropped 25%. I, I can't wait to just hear him elaborate on that. He says it's incredible. I agree. Brian, what's that Website you like to pull up and look at the ETF flows. Let's, let's throw that up while, while we, while we toss this around.
B
I don't have that off the top of my head, but I can find it.
C
Hold on one moment.
A
Joe, any thoughts on the, on the ETF flows? I know you've been gone so like this went live while, while, while you were on the road. But just again, these in the, the news this week of Black Rock. So Black Rocks filing for an ETH etf. You know, not only does it take time and money to get these ETFs live through the SEC, you know, it's an investment from the people that are building these vehicles. They don't build these vehicles to then, you know, scrap them like three to six months from now. So again, these are long term vehicles that they're building. And it seems like especially with Solana, at least ETF wise, there's long term, there's some long term buyers.
C
Yeah, definitely. I saw Fidelity came out with that, which I'm excited about because I use Fidelity a lot for their etf. So it's great to see Solana strength in ETF inflows and I know staking is staking. ETFs are on the docket, if not out already for some. So that's exciting to see. I'm just excited to see these huge institutions adopt these. Overall, it's just more for individual retail investors to either want you to diversify or, you know, go outside of Bitcoin. As you know, Bitcoin dominance is, is low right now.
A
Any luck over there, Brian, or.
B
No, no, I'm having a little issue.
A
That's no worries. We can keep going. And it goes along of like, okay, how's Coinbase doing? How's Robin Hood doing? These were kind of leaders. I saw a video of Brian Armstrong back in dc. That guy might live in DC at this point, but Coinbase buys us a Salana trading platform. Who threw this in there? Was that you, Brian?
C
I did, yeah. Yeah. Coinbase is largely Ethereum L2, right, with base. But Salon, they purchased a Salana trading platform, specifically a Meme Coin platform. This just came out today. So yeah, we're still breaking it down and see what this means. And same with the, you know, ecosystem. Everyone's trying to understand what they're looking to do here. Later on we'll, we'll talk a little bit more about how they are, you know, they just launched their own meme or creator. Coin for Base for the creator. So just Interesting to see that they're making moves into Solana. I know largely a lot of people didn't like Coinbase and how they quote, unquote, manipulated Solana pricing or whatnot. There was a lot of, lot of delays during the FTX collapse of them, people trying to withdraw Solana. But now they're coming onto the Solana side, which is bodes great for the ecosystem because Coinbase is, you know, has a foothold in users in America.
A
Yeah. And they, they're obviously like you said earlier in the show too, it's like, hey, who's building? Who's building when the chips are down? That was a huge thing that we talked about on the podcast and we brought on the guests who were building when, you know, the FTX collapse was. And that was Matt. That's kind of why Matt Hogan was our shepherd through that time, because they were working on the etf, you know, roll out, you know, at bitwise during that time. So I thought that was an interesting kind of story to unfold from, you know, 16k up to 120k. That's a hell of a run. We're going to transition into the Momentum Money Maker segment and that's our cohort of who we promoted the episode to today. So we have over 162 people with us live right now. We appreciate every single one of you guys for being here, especially on such a bloody week and spending your Friday afternoon having fun with us. If you guys could do me a favor before we jump into Brian and Joe's Momentum Money Maker update, where we're going to talk about all things kind of high Flying Meme coins. They have some absolute winners that they've given out. If you're inside the community, you know that. Again, bottom right, if it's your first time here, hit the sub button. It's our logo on the bottom right and give this video a thumbs up. It really helps us grow the channel and keep putting out the free content for you guys that, you know and love. Because I know that, you know, people again were chirping us all week. Are you going to show up? Are you going to be here? Brian? I keep looking around. Is this light still on? Brian? What is it it? We're at 83k. Is it still on? My friend Grant, he's in the YouTube. Grant, is the light still on? Grant, is it on? Are we working? We're good. Okay, we can continue the show to go down into the Momentum Money Makers update. Guys, if there's anything that you like when you hear Brian and Joe go over this stuff. If you're interested in joining and getting the first alerts on how you can get the trade alerts for these trades that they're going to talk about, that they're still nailing winners left and right. There's a description below for Momentum Moment Moneymakers vip. Just go check it out if you're interested in getting those first alerts and if not, no stress. We're on here at YouTube as well. So, guys, let me hand it off to you. Where do you guys want to start? And I'm going to produce it the rest of the way for you.
B
Yeah, why don't we start with the Pudgy Penguins? You know, we. We talk about the Penguin Penguin and the Pudgy Penguins team all the time. I know the price is taking a dip because, you know, everything's red, but, you know, it still doesn't fundamentally change what they're doing. As one of the most innovative Web three companies around, I still absolutely love their brand. And they're rocking a new book, a new partnership out there, which is it. Which is a lot of fun to just say, oh, wait, do you have that right now, Joe?
C
Oh, yeah, I got it, I got it.
B
Why am I talking about it? Take it over, Joe.
C
No, no, I, I smashed by this, as did the community, because Pudgy's for kids. I have a kid and it's, you know, I read them books every day. I'm like, smash buying. So they're making money off me. That's all I'm saying. And they're not, they're not taking money away from their NFT holders. And potentially, like we always mentioned, they can have a meme coin integration with this. I mean, I'm not sure they're gonna do a kids book, but on the back end, they can have something very exciting. So it's just great to see them doing stuff and stuff that actually buy. Right. Like, I'm buying this stuff. I'm not doing it because, well, I guess, I mean, it's good price. $9.99. Guys, I buy a lot of kids books. I buy like two a month and this is a good price point and I genuinely like it to read to my kids. So not only are they doing stuff, but they're doing stuff meaningful.
B
Yeah. Shout out. I still play that Pudgy party game and have my kids playing it all the time. It's still massively fun. So I guess the point is, is that there's still people out there building and partnering with major organizations. Out there. And even a congressman recently got in on the pudgy penguin train. Who was it? William Timmons? I think that I threw it in the she. Yeah, there he is. So we got. We had got a congressman repping a really nice penguin. Joe, you were telling me just the other day, a penguin without a hat is worth more, is a more desirable trait.
C
Yeah, yeah. So there's like 250 of them. And I was going to buy Pudgy, you know, and I was thinking about doing it on a live stream today, but I'm not well prepared for it. But maybe next week. I don't know when we're doing this live stream tv, I might buy a live Pudgy for you guys. But, yeah, this one, if it doesn't have a hat, the ecosystem loves that. You. You. If you take a look at the floor prices, which is the lowest price you can get one. These get scooped up all the time. So, yeah, this one doesn't have anything on his head. It's worth a little bit more. Congrats to you, Congressman William Timmons. I don't know what state he's from, but I don't know who runs the social there. But if you're allowed to put a budget penguin on your NFT profile, I like that state. Maybe I'll move there.
A
Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
It's a smash.
A
You're getting the. Getting the huddle there. It's like, here we go. Pudgy saying. Can't believe I'm about to say this to a sitting here as congressman. Welcome to the huddle.
C
Oh, yeah, dude, they might IPO, too. TiVo. Sorry to interrupt. They just announced.
A
We've talked about Pudgy a lot on this program. I just. I love the vibe. I'm gonna buy a children's book for my nephew for Christmas this year. So that's, you know, I'm gonna join the huddle of the. The new books. I love that stuff. Let's moving on to. To Jesse. Is this Jesse?
B
Jesse?
A
You've had Jesse on the program before?
B
Yeah, yeah. You know him. I mean, he's a big wig at base. I'll let Joe take over with this because I know he's through the link in here, but pretty cool stuff, what he's doing over there.
C
Yeah, yeah. This is in the face of the destruction of crypto as we're seeing it. He launched a creator coin yesterday, Two days ago, amongst the blood, and it just pumped, you know, all the way up to yesterday. I told Brian, I was like, this thing is holding strong. And Brian was like, I don't know, man. And it's now it's up even higher today. It's a 16 million today. And this shows the strength of momentum. Plays like we knew it was swinging to base, right? We've been talking about it in the live streams for months now, right? TiVo. And they are teasing something December 17th. And what's funny is that immediately after they teased what's coming, Bryce, you know. You know Bryce. Everyone knows Bryce. Like, I found out what it is. He found a tweet on it. Like, they're coming out with prediction markets. Like, who would have thunk, right? And other stuff. So they're really batting for or prepping for a huge 2026, which I think most institutions are like, they're just building the train tracks this whole year. That's what it was. And retail is really going to come on board in a more meaningful way in 2026. And, you know, Jesse is just, you know, having some fun here. But I just thought it interesting that, you know, there is things that do well during these times. I'm not surprised that it's on base.
A
And was Jesse one of the calls for the community or.
C
No, not specifically. Maybe. I mean, he just launched it two days ago, so we couldn't call it like the day they were recording it, we couldn't call it. But Maybe. Good thinking, TiVo. Maybe an email next time. Blast, everybody.
A
Awesome. Let's move on to Tops. I know. I remember the Tops days of back when we're at the barstool office. People are loving this one.
C
Yeah. So Tops is coming on a Top shop. They just announced this two days ago. If you guys want to sign on. This is not a promo. We don't get anything. But they're. They're anyone who downloads the apps, they have a chance to win a $42,000 Steph Curry PSA 10. And me being from the Bay, you know, I enter right away. But it's just interesting to see, you know, more people entering the space in a. In a bigger way. Panini's entered this year huge in the digital assets. We talked about it on this live stream. How a digital. What is it? Caitlin Clark sold for more than the cardboard. So just when we enter in boring time. Boring times. I would call it like the ice ages of crypto. I like to have fun with NFTs and speculate and you can still make money on every day.
A
Brian, you into Tops at all?
B
I've. I'm in Top Shot. I'm still carrying the nft top shot bags. Joe's been talking about the tops, and we've talked about it quite a bit, but I do not have any tops. But I'm gonna download it, to be honest with you, and get whatever's free here. You know, I go down rabbit hole, guys. Like, you know, like, next thing you know, I get something I really like, and I'm like, we need to make this happen, literally on ebay. Last night, I was looking at. I'm not a New England Patriots fan, but I was looking at Drake May rookie cards because I was like, this guy might win the mvp. So. So I. I can. I can go down with my fisher rabbit holes.
A
That guy's on fire. That guy's on fire.
B
He looks. He looks good. I'm.
A
You breaking up a little bit on us, Brian, so we'll just transition into mega. Mega eth.
B
Yeah, my back.
C
You're back.
A
Yeah, yeah, you're back.
B
Oh, okay.
A
Joe, just take. Yeah, Joe, can you just be the host and call out what you want me to bring up and just start weaving through these.
C
Yeah, yeah, We. You met. You asked us about some wins that we had last time. You want to pull up Ghost? We did a. There was a whole privacy meta, if you guys recall, that was going around the. You know, Zcash did a 10x from his bottom, and then there. That was the Alpha play because Zcash has been around since, you know, 2019. Right. But then Ghost is on the bottom there. TiVo. I just put in the chart. Way on the bottom is one that we call to our community, and it did 150% up from. From when we called. So it went down because a lot of people were like, oh, this is a phantom team. They're not doing anything. But what happened was that they released their financial payment app, which is all based around privacy, and it pumped. So we caught it right almost a day before the bottom, and our community got in. They made 150%. Of course, it's going down the macros right now as the initial hype has worn off. But the privacy play, momentum play, we definitely caught that one. And we're. We're constantly seeing where the momentum is flowing. And this is one of those that I'm happy we caught for our community along with Zcash. We caught Zcash and it went up, I think, 25 to 30% from the time that we caught it because we knew that that meta would run a little bit further. So just a win that we had. This was just last week. So even in These crazy times. There are wins to be had, you know, on projects that are keep on building. And we have a few more in our bag that we've called. I'll have Brett when Brian if he comes back on. We have another one that did close to 300% in within the last three weeks. That was another financial payment app also. So not only are we looking at meme coins, we're really looking at the altcoins and seeing what's moving in terms of just PE sentiment overall.
A
We got live. We're live. We got people popping in, we got people copping out. Brian, give us a mic check. Are you there?
B
Hey, am I. Am I here? That was a good test for. For any troublesome Internet issues. If we have on future podcast or runs that rundown. It's good to be back, guys. What'd I miss?
A
Yeah, Joe, TG up for. What was it, Joe? A 300 winner that you guys called.
C
Yeah. Avicii or Vicky?
B
Oh yeah, that. That was a solo one. The Neo Bank. It was yeah. A great little. Great little product. You know, Doc's founder. That was just recently, a couple weeks ago. So congrats to some people in the community. I heard Joe talking about some of the privacy coins. That's kind of the meta. If there is one right now. We all like that privacy layer and he had some killer ones. Ghost is a strong one.
A
Yeah. Yeah. So again that's. That's kind of our. The pitch again. We love doing the free youtubes but if you guys want those kind of first alerts in your email inbox from Brian and Joe when they see stuff like this again, 1x2 3x. They're finding winners even in these tough markets. Check the link below for the momentum money makers. Vip, come on in and join the community. We'll touch some. Some touch some grass here. We'll touch a. We'll touch base. Coinbase, we had the. We talked about it before. So we think Coinbase is working on some stock trading. It looked like they might have leaked some. Some screenshots. Some they call them in the business back in my IBM days. They call them wireframes. They leak some wireframes for the people to see what. What's going on with the UI for stock trading. Possibly probably prediction markets as well. Things. Things are just. Things are moving along. I think Coinbase obviously continues to build Robin Hood's rolling out banking and then we'll end a note on some. Some prediction markets here for Kalshi. We've talked about poly market, how it's raising so much money, you know, raising at like 12 to 15 billion. Calci just reportedly raised 1 billion at an 11 billion dollar valuation from Sequoia. These things are not going anywhere and at all. And I know, Brian, I gave you, I texted you some, texted you some picks. I think, I think that that might be some alpha there from the cow she picks. I think that's where I'm gonna start going is the, I like the mentions. I like when people are speaking and trying to guess what they're, what they're gonna say. Are you riding?
B
I didn't put it in yet, but I, I am. I need to get in on that. That those were some very good ones. Shout out to the Patriots. But you know something that's super interesting is that there was a fanatics. That's it. Fanatics mentioned a prediction market. I think it was today. They're getting into. Yeah. CEO Michael Rubin tells that they're going to be launching Fanatics Predicts. So just another. The space is getting crowded. Not gonna lie. It certainly is. But these prediction markets aren't going anywhere and it's amazing to see the, they're just casually adding another billion dollars to their round. So I, I think there's some momentum here.
A
Yeah. And like I think I said this on a show a couple weeks ago was, you know, the, eventually what's going to happen is the consolidation. Just like the gambling space. We had too many, you know, gambling apps and they're slowing down and consolidating. The same thing will probably happen in the prediction markets, you know, area. But there's some, there's some fun stuff out there to, I guess you could call it gambling or predicting, however you want to say it. Not, not personal financial advice by any means. We personally cannot give that. We're not your financial advisors, just a couple friends talking odds. And I'm going to give out. I'll give one out. Let's put this on, let's put this on tape. Brian, let's put this one on tape. So there's a, there's a conference called the Dealbook Summit. I believe it's in New York City coming up the first week of December. Scott Bessance is speaking and there's a 24 chance that he says stablecoin. I'm gonna take those odds. And there's a 38 chance that he says the words stock market. I feel like stock market kind of feels like a layup. Oh. Because you could go either way. It's like, are you worried? Are you worried? So I. Okay, here's the problem. Depending on who he's getting interviewed by is like, they're gonna say they're gonna ask him about the stock market. So the question somebody asks him will be like, and what about the stock market? It's gonna be there. I. Dude, I'm telling you, I'm telling you. Does he just talk about stock market and not actually say gets squirrely there?
B
Because he could say stocks referring. Someone asked him a question about the stock market. He's like, stocks look really good right now. I'm really. And you're not getting paid on that because you need stock market. That's where that prediction there's. You need stock market. Like the stock market looks strong, not stocks look strong. This. It could get squirrely there and really make you smash.
A
I mean, he has to listen when he's on the national stage. And again, I think Dealbook Summit, again, if we're, if we're playing the cards here, I think they bring everybody, but I think it depends who's interviewing him. I think whoever's interviewing him is probably going to be leaning a little bit left. So they're going to be trying to like poke holes into the stock market game. And. And then he's going to hit him with how many all time highs the stock market. The stock market has hit this year. He says all time high. I'm going to cry. I'm going to cry.
B
Well, what, what's he like a Gen Z? Let's finish it. Let's say stock market.
A
No, he's old school. He's an old school stock market. So I know again, that's. Are you riding this?
B
I think I have to. I mean, you've called me out on live. I mean.
A
You'Re the one we were talking. You want to work prediction markets into the show. I'm asking you, do you want to ride on 38 chance?
B
I'm just like Jim Carrey on the hugging. You and Jim Carrey and dumb and dumber riding that moped up the hills of Aspen. Right? That's how, that's how much I'm riding on this. I'm all over it with you because what if it, what if it hits? All I'll hear about for weeks is how you made this unbelievable call. You, you, you saw the Vision live. How could you not ride? I would be stupid not to. I'm in. I'm freaking in, dude. Not financial advice, but I'm in for.
A
A House Joe open invite to you. I just know that Brian and I go back and forth on these. On these prediction markets thing. And we're trying to work it into the show. So that. That's our pick. The crypto 101 TiVo. If you want to ride. We're doing Will Scott Bess and say stock market during his deal interview. It's going to be the first weekend of December, so that'll be a little tidbit we'll revisit. We. We'll hold ourselves accountable just like we did for the live for Jerome Powell where we took. We both took. Ls purple tie and I don't know what I did, but also took an. That was recession. Yeah, he's. Yeah, yeah, we'll see. We'll. We'll have to see.
B
But he didn't say it.
A
True. True. Friday afternoon. CJ's in the chat. We love CJ and we love everybody who's been in the chat. Last call. We'll do some questions. If anybody has any, if you want to throw them in. You know, scary times. You have any questions, we're here for you to answer, especially if you've listened to the end. Open forum, fellas. Anything on your mind that you want to talk about while we wait for some questions? Anybody want to take the reins to kind of a final thought as we head into the weekend here.
D
Does that to be about crypto?
A
No. Whatever you want, Joe.
C
I pulled a Steph Curry night night mystery box toy when I was in China. And all I gotta say is that I understand the Labubu craze now. I understand it because I'm like, my wife is buying Labubu left and rights all day. And I'm like, this is so stupid. Who does that?
A
I walked in meme coin thing not take off. I felt like that was pop culture and didn't. Didn't make it into the meme coin markets.
C
It did. The booboo meme coin popped off and a lot of people did well and it fizzled out because there's not too many Labubu collectors trading meme coins.
A
Brian, any. Any final thoughts? Are your kids into Labubus? Is that craze over?
B
They're not Labubu kids, but I'll tell you what they are into are jelly cats.
C
Jelly cat.
B
Jelly cats are a big thing right now. The. The household has more. It's like when people talk about Beanie Babies 2.0. They're exactly jelly cats. But my parting words on crypto is for we shouldn't be freaking out. Things are going to be okay. We're seeing some volatility in the market. But that gives us some great opportunity out there. And I, I couldn't be, I couldn't be. I say it all the time. I get bullish in times like this, especially when people are talking about shorting constantly. It makes me want to go long. I just, you know, I think, I think things are going to be okay and we're going to chop a little longer. It might be ugly for a couple of weeks, but I think we're going to v shape up sooner rather than later.
A
Let's see, we got something come in from the great Habis. Who and where do you guys look for? Okay, so he's new to crypto, obviously not asking for personal financial advice. That's correct. But who and where you guys look for information and accurate market updates. Well, you're in the right spot because we turn to the Crypto 101 podcast and the Crypt Nation community. Shameless, selfless plug. But that why, that is why we have such a robust team. Right? So you know, me, myself, TiVo, I'm more of the social sentiment, social media guy. We've got Brian and Joe, momentum money makers. We've got Brendan, who's our technical analysis guru. We've got Bryce, who's our trader and just all around guru plugged into the industry, our fearless leader. We've got Rohit just doing the data and the deep diving of the research. So that, that's why we've built the team, what we've had. So when you listen to the show, that's what you're getting. You're kind of getting a little bit of everything and then obviously bring on everybody individually so you can hear from them. But this is a great tool so if you're, if you're here, it's a great start. Other than that, I think getting an X account and following crypto101 pod on X is a great way that, you know, we share a ton of stuff from others as well and how we aggregate data and build the show. But the reason the rundown I think is so popular and does so well is because we're, we're pulling all that information from our team and the outside information as well. Johnny Hohner says he's been waiting for the jelly cat coin. I'm telling you man, sometimes this just, you know, pop culture bleeds over and like that's, you know, that's where you guys absolutely rush. Six, seven. Oh man. Brutal, brutal, brutal. I saw a funny meme. It was like me at me at 10 years old and it was like rapping, you know, bad rap lyrics on the bus. And then it was like, Today's kids at 10 years old is like 6, 7. 6, 7. Brutal. Brutal.
B
That's what, that's what makes that meme so unbelievable though, is that like even the haters, like, are like, I don't get it. This six, seven. And then, you know, people meme it. The meme about it, it is a viral concept. At the end of the day, it's crazy.

If you're a podcast host. Listen up. This one's for you. My name is Allie Jackson. I'm the host of Finding Mr. Height, a dating and relationship podcast that I've been doing for four years now, sharing my positive and practical approach to dating. Dating that's built on my own life experience. And I wanted to share another experience that I've had, my secret behind monetizing my show. It's called Red Circle, and I was just telling my colleague about how much I love their platform. With Red Circle, not only am I getting a seamless hosting experience, but I also love the support I receive in ad sales. It's not just typical ad sales either. It's targeted opportunities based on my show and my life. And the platform is super simple. You just set your preferences and Red Circle matches you with sponsors that align with your show. You can vet every opportunity and their platform gives you great analytics. More recently, too, my RedCircle team has brought me opportunities outside of my podcast on social media to really augment the podcast partnerships. Bring them full circle. I just can't recommend them enough. If you want to give it a try, go to redcircle.com to get your free trial. That's redcircle.com for a free trial.

Date: November 22, 2025
Hosts: Bryce Paul & Brendan Viehman, w/ Joe (Momentum Money Makers)
In this episode, the CRYPTO 101 team unpacks the recent dramatic downturn in the crypto market, examining whether this signals the end for crypto – and making the case for resilience. Bryce, Brendan, and special guest Joe offer historical context, hard-won perspective, market stats, and actionable insights for retail investors weathering the current storm. The episode blends market analysis, timely news (ETFs, institutions, building in bear markets), community Q&A and a review of winning trades from their high-momentum group, all while encouraging listeners to focus on long-term fundamentals over market panic.

“If you’re crying over spilled milk about a 30% decline, you haven’t been in this industry long enough…You haven’t been in the depths of a bear market.”
“The reason to hammer home is – there’s volatility in the crypto market…nothing has changed with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies…”
“We may not be down 15%, we may be up…but yeah, I’ve been through this rollercoaster. So this is not even a roller coaster. This is like a toddler Disneyland ride…”
“Right now…there’s no real kind defined catalyst to get us out of it…But when I really think about it, at the end of the day, nothing has changed…”
“Nothing has changed in terms of blockchain, it’s just all macro news, all macro sentiment…that’s what it is right now.”
Big drawdowns are scary but not unprecedented. Be prepared for both pain and recovery.
Indicators like Fear & Greed, RSI, and realized losses echo conditions seen at turning points.
Tech is improving, institutions are adopting, and long-term builders are undeterred.
Despite panic selling, ETF inflows, state-level crypto instruments, and major players building indicate real progress.
Despite what’s trending, rely on time-tested strategies—dollar cost averaging, focusing on fundamentals, and learning from diverse expert voices.
Engage with knowledgeable groups, learn from a range of perspectives, and remember you are not alone—even on the roughest days in the market.
Stay strong, keep learning, and remember: “The light is still on.”
Tune in next week for the special Matt Hogan episode and more timely insights!
