Welcome Back to the Crypto 101 podcast, presented by Gemini. Your bridge to the future of money and a special rundown. It's Meme Coin Mania. We've got Brian, we've got Joe, and let me tell you, folks, one week ago, we had the Prepare for October live stream. And, and all of you that tuned in know that if you were there, you were prepared. What a week. October is so fully underway. So fully underway, guys, that you guys noticed it. Where's TiVo? Why is he at his desk? Where could he be? And I'll tell you where I am. I am in the world. Fabulous Las Vegas. Atop the Vegas's newest hotel, the Fountain Blue. We're looking at the skyline. We're celebrating October. Why? Because we're prepared. Because we subscribe to the Crypto 101 podcast. We subscribe to Crypt Nation, we subscribe to Crypto Money Makers. So we have all the information we need in education to know that we were ready for this pump. And we're celebrating this week because we were. Spot on, boys. Welcome to the show. Brian, how excited are you to be up the last week? We're like, prepare for October. Prepare for October. And then we're ripping.
C
Yeah, man, I'm booed up as always. But this is for good reason right now. And you know, I heard the shout out to Gemini. I mean, don't hate that. Don't hate it.
B
No, you can't. I mean, dude, they. They piled on. They knew that crypto 101 was getting ready for October. They wanted to be a part of it and they're coming along for ride. But Joe, so much in the market. And again, guys, later in the show, we're covering the news. Tons of price action on all the blue chips and the big stuff, but you're going to want to stick around for later in the show. We're deep diving into the trenches. Tons of wins from the momentum, money makers, communities. Everything from Aster to pudgy penguin news. I think there's some crypto punk news stuff that you've heard on the show, again, that's been a part of the community for the last couple weeks is now coming to fruition. And so that's why you tune into these shows and that's why you want to belong to this community. So because we're giving out alpha going back two, three, five, six weeks, and now it's coming true. So that's why you're here. So, Joe, how excited are you to be here with us on a Friday?
A
Super excited. Nowhere else I'd rather be. We had some. Well, Brian has some bangers, some five, ten X's even before October. I'm excited to dive into those.
B
Yeah, I get you guys got. The whole team's been on fire. I'm so glad we got rohed on last week too because he's had some winners and I know you guys are crushing it. Brendan's crushing it with the ta but without further ado, let's jump into it. So I'm going to pull up just some coin market cap. Brian, speak to the. Speak to the. It's not a chart, I guess in general, if you want to pull anything specific, I'm just going to hand off the reins to you and talk through the people what you're seeing because wow, what a week we're looking. You can look at the seven day. So again, we were on with you guys a week ago preparing, saying prepare for October 12for Bitcoin, 12% for E, 22% for BNB, 16% for Salana. So again, before we dive into the smaller stuff, and not smaller in the sense of gains, but the micro caps and the meme coins before we get into the trenches, Brian, what are you seeing on a macro scale here?
C
I mean my 5 year old could probably break it down just as good as I could because we are in the green across the board double digits for the week. And just like you said, man, I tune into the other rundowns. I know what I was expecting and I was expecting an upturn. October, October 1st comes around. It's the best performing month for bitcoin. For crypto assets, I think on average a 29% increase. If you're following the show, if you're following us, we all knew this was going to happen. Even September wasn't even that bad of a month. It was just a little red. And now we're into October. Things are absolutely ripping. Everything we've been saying over the past few months is coming to fruition. And Bitcoin buck 22. Ethereum. Over 4,500. Lana. 232. The new darling in the majors, Binance. I mean it's been around forever, but that's closing in on 1200 bucks. This is 2017 all over again. When you just have to point, click and shoot and you're going to get a winner, it feels like. But the majors are alive. The fear and greed at 57, man, it feels like it should be like an 87 if you ask me. I feel greedy.
B
Yeah, yeah, it is. It is starting to feel a little frothy here. And I think that's, that's fair enough to say for, you know, all the listeners that come in week over week. So they've rode with us on the way up is like, it did kind of feel like one of these weeks where every single day, click after click after click, each day was just higher. And again, by no means, I, I think, do we think this is over. Right. We're gearing into Q4. We kind of teed it up last week. If you haven't listened to that episode, we go back and listen to the Prepare for October to get that full view of how we're looking into the end of the year. But we, we've been watching that Feared and Greed index for, for a month now, and it's been teetering on, about to drip into fear. I think we even kissed fear a couple weeks ago. So now we're about to. We're on the other side of that. We're about to kiss greed. So it is, it is an interesting setup. Any, any macro thoughts for you, Joe?
A
Yeah, click on the altcoin index. Right. There was a 68 to 150. And this is. Yep, right in the middle there. And the reason that we're super excited on this side of the world is because we have a clear altcoin season and, you know, we caught a lot of the winners, so we're seeing a lot of rotation plays, which I'm super excited about.
B
Yeah. And again, if you go down here in the bottom left, I'll scroll down. But like the yearly high again to a year ago was an 87 back in December of 24. So again, heating up, but not, not quite there yet again. And sometimes that last, you know, even if you could be over, you know, overbought or a little bit greedy, sometimes that last 20 of the greed is where you find the most gains. So again, that's why you want to be here. If you're not subscribed, bottom right, hit that. Give this video a like if you're enjoying the Friday rundown with all the momentum. I think we just want to look in because I know we like to look with this with you, Brian, is the. I have put it right here, the ETFs. Let's see what's on with the Bitcoin ETF. I can share this tab if you want to talk to it and then move us over to Ethereum. I can click that tab as well. All right, Crypt Nation fam.

C
Yeah, I mean they're absolutely cooking both the ETF. I think we're like 2 billion over the past couple of days of like cumulative like ETF inflows. Positive in the bitcoin Ethereum, as you can see on the screen here, over 600 million bucks on October 1st and then the BTF Bitcoin ETF. And I think Ethereum's right around. You can toggle right, toggle that. All ETFs in the upper left hand corner center and we can see just kind of. We're close to a billion bucks in one day. I think since October 1st we're closing in on 2 billion. I just want this to be said. I know, I follow. I talk meme coins and NFTs all the time. Joe and I have been talking about all time high. This is when we were down in the dumps, when we were getting liquidated in perps. I was Saying we are going to hit a bitcoin all time high, over a buck 30 by Halloween. Still sticking to that. We might hit it over the next couple weeks. But there's so many reasons to be bullish. And one of the biggest and best indicators, in my opinion, is where's institutional money flowing? Well, there's 2 billion reasons why we should be bullish for October. Literally, we flip the calendar over and, you know, institutions started buying. They're all back from the Hamptons, kids are back in school. We're all locked in. And I'll say it time and time again, say it on every rundown. It's the time to start paying attention, because this is the tip of the iceberg, in my opinion. We're starting to see it pick up, we're starting to see the momentum. But I think it can get very, very interesting. When we start to feel a little bit more fearful is when I'm talking to my grandmother over Thanksgiving and telling her to mortgage her house and buy bitcoin. But I don't think we're there yet. I think this is just getting the party going.
B
I did, I did have a friend who's not in crypto at all and has no expertise or knowledge around anyone. I did get one of those texts, what do you think about xrp? So that, that was a little bit of a flag. It's like, all right, who's he talking to at the water jug that's getting him excited about xrp? And we always joke of, how is XRP always the first thing that non crypto people find? But that. That is, you know, again, the early stages of. If you have a couple more of those, then you probably want to be a little bit more wearier, especially when your grandma calls. I remember, I remember. What is it? The. The last time we kind of had that local top my mom even kind of mentioned, she's like, hey, could you show me how to buy some of that bitcoin you talked about for the last five years? I'm like, yeah, sure. I was like, sell, boys, sell.
C
I have a. I have a for real top signal indicator. And this is when I started with the boys about two years ago with crypto 101. I remember telling Bryce this. I was like, when my pops, when my dad hits me up and asks me if he should buy bitcoin, we have to exit all positions. Yeah, it's been so. And he knows I work in the industry. He knows I'm super bullish on it. But for some reason, he is the biggest Top signal indicator. But hey, if you're on the rundowns, if you follow our private communities, I will absolutely flag when Gary McNutt hits us up and asks bitcoin, because I am hitting the sell button. But he did. Yeah, he has not done that.
B
No, we all have it. And again, that's what the fun part of these shows is. Again, we give you the macro view of everything, but we'll give you our little personal tidbits as well, which is super fun. And I think really over the last six weeks, let's call it six to eight weeks, because there is a. If you do zoom out, we have been in a big range specifically for bitcoin, right at this 100 to 120 level. A larger range that we've been kind of range bound in. And I think it's been really fun because these rundown episodes over that time period have been very exciting. We've been super bullish on them. They've been super fun because there's been so much information around regulation, around all these huge, you know, investors wanting to get involved. And again, I think the regulation thing's been the biggest piece of everybody getting involved. And then kind of like with all the bullish information, after a couple months, people like, well, where's the price action? Where's the price action? After all the regulations and all the institutions, where's the price action? And I do wonder if, if now's the time that we're truly going to see that come to fruition, break out of this range and start to march higher as we're in October and into Q4 like we've talked about. And I'll tell you this, boys, you want to. You want to do, do as they do, not as they necessarily say. Because this week, my favorite piece of news was Jamie Dimon apparently loves bitcoin. So Jamie Dimon has no shame sitting up on these panels and telling you that bitcoin's for criminals and bitcoin's fraud. Bitcoin's a pet rock. And now we've got JP Morgan analysts saying that it's undervalued versus gold. Significant upside ahead to 165k. And so, like, I understand that JP Morgan's a big company. We're obviously being a little facetious and funny saying that JB diamond loves bitcoin. But it is interesting as one of the largest financial figureheads, I think, in the world to have such a big stance against bitcoin over the last five plus years. And now his analysts are calling significant upside to 165k. It's like there is a little bit of an uneven balance there. You could be neutral to an asset. But I feel like he's been so negative that it is interesting when you know, his analysts are giving undervalued versus gold 165 price targets.
A
Absolutely. That, that could be the sell signal when Jamin Diven himself comes out and says he loves bitcoin, he's the most.
C
He'S the most famous banker of all time and he's done a great job with JP Morgan. Can't knock him. But he's got, he's got it wrong with bitcoin. Well, I don't know if he said, see he's, he's got his long term, his view in the past is wrong. But you know, he's putting his money where his mouth is right now. They're calling it undervalued to gold and he's exactly right there.
B
Yeah, there is like possibly a little, I guess, arbitrage trade against, you know, the move in gold recently to bitcoin, if you're into that type of stuff. And I'll say this, we talk about the betting markets a lot and we're going to cover that later in the show. If there was a bet of Jamie Dimon to be Satoshi, the creator of bitcoin and it would be at like 000000 1%. I put a couple bucks on it, why not, right? That's a fun little play. I can't wait for. Can't wait for the discovery of Jamie Dimon's bitcoin wallet. And he's like a top 20 holder after all the years of trash in it. But overall, guys, it's just, it's Friday. It's fun and we're having fun and the price action's so good. But you know, today, after you guys are done work, don't forget to say a couple prayers for the bears. We got to pray for the shorts right now. A hundred million dollars in bitcoin and ethereum shorts were liquidated in an hour today. And that's just showing you the breakneck speed. These are huge market caps that are rising very quickly and the pairs are getting caught in it. So thoughts? You know, like Brian, you said, you know, for the perps you got liquidated. On the downside, you know, I don't know, the bears might have not have prayed for you, but I think we should, you know, reciprocate in prayers for the bears today.
C
Oh yeah, man. Last, last stand for the bears. I'll tell you what, it's big. It's big game hunting and we're going hunting for bears. And it's happening. The bulls are taking over and we're absolutely here for it.
B
Yeah. Any prayers for the bears over there, Joe?
A
No prayers for the beers. You picked the wrong side.
B
Ruthless. Ruthless. I'll tell you what, this might be some prayers answered for our friend of the program, Michael Saylor. It looks like possibly there's some type of tax loophole that these bitcoin strategy companies could find. Brian, I think you put the link in here. Was there any details around this?
C
Yeah, it's an exemption of 15% of corporate tax. It's billions and billions of dollars. And the strategy stock obviously surged. If there's a guy running hot right now, it's Michael Saylor in the strategy stock. I don't have any exposures to the stock, but that's massive. And that's just another reason to realize why we're probably still continuing to go up. There's these treasury asset companies, there's Strategies, the Michael Sailors of the world. Now they're getting a 15% corporate tax exemption and it's massive, massive savings.
A
Yeah.
B
And the interesting part of that is now that if that's out in the open and true and verifiable and all these companies, there's other companies can participate in it. And so, you know, they have their quants in the corner of the office computating all these things. Could this be another reason for more people to put Bitcoin on their balance sheet? Again, you're not necessarily going to go all the way in like Sailor and Strategy and some others. But like, hey, if there's this 15% again, the word arbitrage comes to mind of like, well, should we sit in cash? Should we delegate this to Bitcoin? Because if you add in the 15% tax savings plus the gains, like, what could that equal? It kind of opens the door for more Bitcoin on people's balance sheets, I think. And then again, just more bullish news in the sector, things that we've talked about on the show a lot. We're seeing some movement around some staking for the BlackRock ETH ETF. And then that would obviously clear the ways for others as well. I mean, blackrock's been all over this thing. Obviously you have to credit grayscale and even ripple for leading the charge for a lot of the early kind of regulation around these ETFs. But I feel like since the green light has Come on. And a great strategy by. By Larry Fink over at BlackRock. Have other people pay the lawyers to clear the Runway, and then you kind of come in and absolutely dominate the space. But I think staking has been something that we've really been waiting for, because in my mind, if this happens, it obviously becomes more attractive to people. And then maybe it creates that flywheel like we talked about with whether it's wrecked drinks or these other meme coins. It creates that flywheel of you're getting staking rewards and just reinvesting. But I think there's a lot of funds out there that are dividend funds. And I do wonder if this gets passed. I don't think it'll be soon, but we always talk about all this, all this stuff that gets approved. Some of these, you know, larger funds, they have to wait six months, a year, whatever, to get the performance before they can actually invest. But would it be something where these dividend only funds can get started and started getting invested in percentages of Ethereum, Solana and others? So I think that's super exciting. I didn't know if you guys had any other thoughts on it.
C
Yeah, yeah, I'll jump in here. I think this is actually going a little under the radar, just with all the bullish news, as always, that this isn't like a mom and pop shop offering a staking for Ethereum in these Ethereum ETFs. This is. Is BlackRock, one of the largest financial institutions in the world, and they're gonna turn the staking button on. And this passive return, this passive yield is gonna catch a lot of people's eyes. And I do think that ETH is absolutely gonna go through the roof when this happens. I'm a big fan of. We're all a big fan of Tom Lee and BMNR and what they're doing. And with this addition of staking, it's just gonna melt our faces. And I think this is huge. And I see this tweet. This is not verif. It kind of just pulled a tweet. But since it could be probably approved and launched in October, that feels. That feels a little soon. But if that happens, that would be amazing.
B
Yeah, we yield on the side of caution with these until. Until I see James Safe Art or Eric B. Tweet this from Bloomberg through the terminal, you definitely want to be wary of those. But I think as we've covered on the show of all these ETFs that are backlogged and the communication from the SEC to these ETF filers has been constant and you've had had the SEC chair saying things like crypto is my number one priority. So again, if you're a betting man, you know that this is coming down the pipeline. You just don't know exactly when. But I agree with you. I think the staking thing is something that was super. People wanted like right away when these ETFs went live, especially with Ethereum, because that's part of the attraction to Ethereum is the staking reward. And then people like, oh, like they're kind of forgetting about it because now we're about to approve. What it was that we showed on the show a couple of weeks ago was like the 2x altcoin season ETF. There's just, there's so much news right now that it's, it's definitely getting buried kind of under the radar. But I do want to give a shout out to the community. We're going to do perps next, Joe, so compare for that but shout out to everybody who's tuning in on a Friday. Noah Fitz, we've got Grant Baylor Bears here and, and an absolute legend. Josh is here. Noah Blues here and thank you, Ryan Boylan. Ryan Boylan with a super chat. That guy comes in every once in a while and gives us a super chat. Really, really appreciate you. And we'll do some questions at the end if we have time. Ryan, you'll be first up. But Joe, the perps, we're seeing a ton of action in the perps market. 1 trillion in a month was what you sent over. You want to break that down for us?
A
Yeah. Hit headlines today, actually. Over 1 trillion in open interest on perpetual Dexes, which is nothing new in tradfi but because you know there's two platforms that reign supreme. Hyperliquid and of course our favorite here, Aster. What most don't know is that Aster has dethroned Hyper liquid for the 1 trillion in volume. They, they conducted over $490 billion worth of open interest. What that means is that they're the de facto number one purps platform and that's in what, three weeks time from when they launch. So just a crazy amount of volume happening in the pers world and just super excited that we're able to share that win with the community. We'll double click on that in the future. But just yeah, perps helps exchanges to make a lot of money and a lot of that's flowing back to the retail investors through airdrops, through Hyper Liquid and potentially to Aster. So if you want to learn about how to get some of those airdrops, then make sure you talk to us, because Brian's the de facto expert there.
B
Yeah, and all. All the more reason to, you know, be a part of the community and keep coming back is to get, you know, the individual expertises of each person. But I do know that there was a lot of people making a lot of money on something that a lot of people didn't see coming. Perps and futures. You're trying to predict what's coming. I don't think anybody saw this coming. Naval big, big person in the space on Twitter tweeted out this about zcash. Brian, can you break this down? Who tweeted it? What is zcash? Because there's probably some listeners out there that do not know what it is. And then we'll go into the price action that it caused. But, man, what a. What a face ripper.
C
Yeah, zcash is. I think ZC is the token. This. This is an oldie but a goodie from back in the day. It's a privacy coin. That's something they've always kind of coined themselves as, and it's been dead for quite some time. I remember back in, like, years ago, I was like, real big into privacy coins and zcash and what they were building. And then just all of a sudden I was just, you know, cruising on the charts like I do every day, and I just see a God candle for zcash. I'm like, did the United States government just adopt zcash? What happened? And go. It goes to show you that he tweeted it out. He said, bitcoin is insurance against Fiat, which is a great point. And zcash is insurance against Bitcoin. And it absolutely fired off. We haven't seen a move like that for quite some time. But I think this is a good thing to kind of just point out that even some of those, like dead altcoins from back in the day, in the right parameters, the right tweak, can still move violently. And zcash is doing that right now.
B
Yeah, there was not this year. We had like that dinosaur pump where it was, you know, two weeks of all the oldies but goodies, XRP leading the way. XLM, you know, just absolutely rocked. Rocketing. So seven day move 150. One year move 227. I'm sorry, one month 220%. And one year 400. So if you were a Zcash rider, you know, hey, congratulations. Not something that I think we had definitely on our show, but, you know, hey, that's what makes a market all time, though. See, here's. Here's where you got to go and learn a little bit here, folks. All time down 96%. That's unbelievable.
C
Still getting smoked. It was such a. Yeah, such a. That's back in the day that people were buying for like 400 bucks, 300 bucks a coin, and we thought it was gonna be the privacy coin of the future. I thought it was dead, but he tweeted it out and revived it.
B
Yeah, I mean, wow, you're still 200% off of some of these. Not even highs, but, man, going back to 2018 there. So again, I think we want to, you know, preface, this isn't personal financial advice by any means. You got to do your own research. This is something fun to track. But be careful out there with, with, with zcash, kind of moving along something that is more in our wheelhouse. Guys, before we do that, just a preface that Brian and Joe, they lead the momentum money makers community. You've seen them on the show. They've been giving out tons and tons and tons of kind of picks and guidance and education over the last six weeks. And we've had them on the show kind of describing how they give out their picks, what goes into it, and they've had some absolute monster winners and we're going to cover that now. So if you, if you hear something you like and you want more access to be able to get their first alerts to get on some of these projects, go in the description below. I put the first link there for you. It's a $1 trial for their community for momentum money makers. And you're going to get tons of alpha first alerts for exactly what we're about to talk about because, man, they've had some absolute winners. The first one we covered on the show a little bit ago, asteroid, I'm going to bring up the chart, but I know we had a huge pump. You guys nailed it. And then we kind of came on and said, hey, you know, this was a huge move. Maybe be careful here. But you know, what's been the update? Kind of what you've given inside the community and up to this point since the last time we talked about it.
A
Yeah, Aster had some consolidation. A lot of people thought that Hype would just reclaim the throne immediately. But Aster has really held strong. They, as you saw, they were the number one most traded in terms of purpose volume above hyper liquid in the CoinDesk news article. So they are roaring back near all time highs. And we believe this still has some room to grow, maybe 2.3x from here. Because the Binance ecosystem where Aster is, is absolutely on fire right now. So we're talking not just utility platform tokens like Aster, but meme coins and other assets all around. So things are moving over there. If you guys want to know what's moving in Binance, definitely check us out because we go with. We go into it more in depth.
B
Yeah. Joe, anything to add on Aster? You guys kind of guide me here through this sheet for the win section and I'll kind of just be your producer.
C
Yeah. Aster, you know, is essentially the hyper liquid for Binance. I got liquidated a week ago on it, so it works. Let me tell you. I was trying to catch the bottom, but they, they had a season one airdrop, Season one airdrop, I believe. And now they're coming to season two. I think that snapshot just closed. But just like Joe said, aster's on Binance. CZ's out there tweeting meme coins, talking about Aster, and it's starting to run. It just gives me vibes of 2017 all over again. And I do think this could go higher. I have small exposure to it. Nothing crazy because I don't know how many more billions it could actually add. But super interesting product. Perps is a super interesting. People love to, you know, try to catch the bottom and put 10x20x50x100x longs in. And as there's. You have the ability to do it on Binance. But when we really talk about wins, we had some other killer calls bring up Punkster or Punk Strategy. Not Punkster. Punk strategy is. And Joe knows a ton about this as well. It's an NFT we talked about in the last rundown. It's NFT Strategies. They buy the crypto punks, they list them at 1.2x of the floor. When they sell it goes and buys back and burns the token. We called this. I think the range was between 12 and 15 million when I made the newsletter. It might have got to like 20 million by the time if you were really late getting to it. But two weeks ago, super early, like the bottom of that arc and I remember doing the newsletter and I was like, this, this feels like this is. This is going to go high. I even remember telling Joe, I was like, this could go 100 million or higher, man, and I still think it has room to grow. They've sold two punks up to this date. Burned and buyback. It is a unique. It revived NFTs. Now there's all these other NFT strategies, the burbs, NFT strategies, the crypto toads, NFT strategies. Badago's just released one. We're seeing more copycats to this strategy and the market loves it right now. And what are we trading at? 140 million market cap, we called it at 15. So a quick 10x in less than two weeks and one that I was pretty confident about. I forget exactly what we graded it as, but I liked it. I remember telling our community I liked it a lot. Joe, any thoughts on these strategy coins?
A
I think the native crypto folks really love it because they have not seen a ton of Action NFTs. So there's a big community of NFT members who still hold and trade them. About $5 billion is the market cap of NFTs right now. And a lot of people think that it could flow over to the token strategy. So 5 billion compared to, what is it, 140 million market cap right now. People think it has a lot of room to run. So when Brian said it has a lot of room to run when he caught it at 15 and even at 100, you caught it 100, Brian. That has room to run. I didn't really see it until I dive deep. And that's what we do here. We, we take a look at where the momentum's going, but we don't leave you there just for like a, you know, a single. We'll try to stay for the double and the home run. I mean, you pretty much hit a grand slam with a 10x. I don't know how much more upside we could get from there, but yeah, we could do it for you guys. We will do it. So just know that if you're getting in here, it's kind of at the tippity top at this current cycle, but it doesn't mean it can't get higher because we're, right now we're seeing even more talks of it at this current 100 million mark than it was on the lead up. So the hype's not over by any means.

And again, it's just, it's a testament to you guys in the deep dive in the research and being in the trenches. And it is the second time we mentioned on this show. So you did have a chance to kind of not get the full 10x but you could have wrote up for a little bit even just watching this. But I'm telling you, if you want those first alerts and getting those cusp score grades from Brian and Joe again in the description $1 trial, you literally have nothing to lose. It's a dollar go down, give it a try. October's here. There's a ton of momentum. So get the right education and team and community around you and give it a try. Let's see, you got a couple other winners here. We can hit a quite quickly. What is O Obex?
C
Obex. Yeah. This is one Joe and I really loved as well. I think we called it in the community right around 200k. So at least a 5x it went up. It's a. It's a million. And this was right around the same time we called Punk Strategy maybe earlier. This was last week. So a week quick 5x again. Another one that we, we, Joe and I both really liked. It started to circulate around crypto, Twitter and some other alpha groups and we just liked it. It's really the integration of AI, robotic robotics and crypto. The dev, who's based in Malaysia has kind of been updating us every single day of exactly what he's building. The Obex holders. I bought Punk Strategy in Obex a couple days after our call. I just was like, yeah, I'm gonna get some exposure I haven't sold a token yet. That's not financial advice for anyone. But this feels like it's either a 0 or a 10 or 20x still built in it. The why it could go to zero is that, you know, we don't know who the dev is. You know, there's a whole bunch of like founder or dev issues there. But he's constantly been updating. I love the AI robotics play of this. I love low market cap opportunities because in a million dollar market cap feels very, very low. There's volatility on the downside, but the risk or the reward upside is better than ever, in my opinion. The chart looks great. So I wouldn't tell everyone to just go and ape into it, but I'm kind of like settled myself in that I think this is going higher. I'm willing to lose on it or at least, you know, pull. I pulled my initials out, but I'm willing to lose the profit on it because I think there's an opportunity for this to continue to grind higher. As you can tell, the chart looks prime.
B
Yeah, definitely hammer home that, you know, again, not personal financial advice, but these are low caps. You're. You're swimming in deep water here if you don't know what you're doing. But just trying to give you guys a different edge, a different side of the show. That's why we bring on Brian and Joe. Man, I'm rhyming today like a rapper. I've been on fire. Yeah. Any, anything, Anything else you guys want to hit before we move on?
C
Now we got a couple more wins there. We can just highlight and then get into the meat.
B
Sure. High Hydrex. High. High H Y dx.
C
Yeah, Hydrix. Kind of, kind of very similar story call. Right. I think this was actually last week. So this is seven days out. So that was at three million dollar market cap. I remember it vividly. And now it's at 14:15. So another really quick 5x. This is essentially a base token that's doing what Aerodrome does. I'm a huge fan of Aerodrome. Been on the record for years about how much I love Aerodrome and its Dex and what they're doing. Hydrex is very similar. They're trying to kind of compete with that and it just felt way undervalued. Joe and I kind of collabed about some of these tokens early on and we were like, hey, we like this Hydrix for a lot of reasons as well. You know, there's always a little bit of choppiness low market caps. But you know, it started to catch some steam and I threw it on the chart today because I was doing some review of some of our past calls and again, it's just like a candle straight up. I was like, the cat's out of the bag maybe on this one. But again, great for the community. I could imagine this correcting because nothing goes up in a straight line. And that looks like that's.
B
Yeah.
C
Pretty damn close to a.
B
That's the hockey stick. That's a hockey stick if I've ever seen one.
C
Yeah, that, that makes me a little concerned. So if you're in this, I might peel a little bit of profit off. Again, not financial advice. That's what I would do. But you know, I still think there's a, there's a place where this continue to grow. But that, that is a massive green candle up. But huge win for anybody that tailed.
B
Yeah, no, again, another great call and then one final one was, was a Tibber. I like that.
C
Yeah, Tibber Ribbit backwards by good old Mickey who's a OG punk holder VC guy, big name company in the crypto space. And there was speculation forever. We call this. Joe. I don't even remember what we call this. Under $100 million market cap. And the whole thesis behind it was this is Ribbit Capital, but it's just spelled backwards. I think we talked about it on the rundown in the past. There's just so many signs to this being connected to Ribbit Capital and it is just. It has been one of the comfiest coins to just sit in, watch and wait because the team behind it, what they're trying to build, it's found on. They have a. This is, this is. I remember this. This is the CryptoPunk AI autonomous agent that went and bought a crypto punk. They had to manually push the transaction through but it bought the clown haired crypto punk doing some unique things in the space. Just another huge win. It hit an all time high of 300 million. I'm buddies with Tyler here. Great content as well. And he's been in it for quite some time. I've been holding my bag for some time. Again, it's rib of capital backwards and it's a autonomous agent doing some big things in the space. And another huge win for the community. Community. And I think it was mentioned on these rundowns like two or three times. So even more reason to be tuning into these rundowns because literally we're just leaking this alpha.
B
Yeah, I mean again, no, go ahead.
A
Joe, there was one note I wanted to point out for everyone is that there's something for everyone. Like all these wins that we had wasn't like, specifically by design, but if you take a look at it, Aster's on Binance, Punkster's on Ethereum, Obex is on Solana, and then Tibber and Hydrix on base. So we try to go deep into the rabbit hole of every chain as much as we can, and we have a team that helps us and not a lot of people can do that. So there's always action at one of the hot tables in Vegas. Since you're in Vegas, Steve O. There might not be action in the craps table that's losing over there, but there's a craps table cheering their ass off on the other side of the room. And you're like, I want in on that table.
B
It's, it's a great analogy. It's a great analogy and you can't, you really can't. Like you just said, you guys even have a team and you guys are in the trenches. That's what you know, your program is all about. But it's also kind of a testament to, you know, that great analogy of the craps tables cheering over there while everybody's losing their money over here. It's, it's staying educated, it's staying up to date. That's why, again, yeah, we're leaking alpha on these shows because we want them to be good shows. But all more importantly, if you want that first alert, if you're somebody who's getting into these markets and again, trying to get that edge, that's what the community's for. And again, last time I'll say it, dollar trial in the description below. I'll probably reference it one more time at the end of the show. But dollar trial, go check it out. And if you want, you know, more access to Brian, Joe and get those first alerts because they are crushing. And then again, thanks to everybody who's in the live. Toss it a like if you're still here. It's Friday, we're rocking. We've got tons of more news as we go into the second half of the show. Poly Market, here we go. Poly Market's gonna launch, relaunch, I guess, because it got shut down at one point, but it's going to launch in the US within days. We've been predicting this pun intended because obviously with one of the Trump sons, I think it was, was it Eric Trump or Don, one of them got involved on the Board, I believe, of polymarket. So once that happens, you know that they're getting their license because Kalshi is also operating and there's all these other ones that are operating. So it's not fair not to have polymarket. So they're coming on board. And again, it's something that we're going to keep referencing because number one, it's fun but number two, it's where you can gather information to make, make some ideas and make some trades and, and get your information on just the world. And I'll tell you what, fellas, I actually had a, I should have put it in our group chat with Cayman, but I, I had, I was on Poly Market and I just randomly caught odds of Nike earnings to beat. It was like, will Nike beat Nike? Will Nike beat earnings? And it was like 85. Yes. And it caught my eye. I was like, man, Nike's, the stock's been getting like just absolutely crapped on recently. And oh, Nike's dead. There's Hoka and Brooks and all these other, you know, brands that are taking over the space. And I'm like, yeah, everybody on TV just says sell, Nike, sell, sell, sell. And I thought I caught my eye, like, wow, there's a lot of people planning on like a little. And you don't know, just because Nike would beat earnings doesn't mean that the stock's gonna go up. But I was like, okay, well if I play the yes, you know, you're only getting 20 cents on the dollar. I was like, well, what if I take a couple hundred bucks and buy like a short dated option just to play this? And so I did it and it ended up working. Nike, Nike beat and in, the Stock popped for 5% but with the options it ended up being like a 40, 50% win on a couple hundred dollar bet. And so again, using information you found on polymarket, you might be a little too late to that trade per se, but then take that information and you know, plan a different trade around it in the markets. And so again, a very, very small win. But I thought that was a fun like, man, this is how you could use that information.
C
I wish I got that tax. Not going to lie.
B
Well, yeah, I mean, all right, yeah, 40% gain compared to the 20 and 10 X's you're giving the community baby, baby dollars we're talking about my man, but let's take a look. We got, we got, we'll take a look at some bitcoin October predictions. And again, this is, this is just people betting where the Price is going to go. So you can see the bears are. The bears are in shambles because the market sees the price going higher. We're talking flip of a coin here, 50, 50 odds basically for 130 or above. And then you go down to, you know, the other side of, you know, 112 is going to go down 30%, 114, 40%. So maybe a little retracement there. But I think from this you can tell that the market's definitely leveraging higher.
C
I want to hammer that 130,000 bet. I really do. I wish it was 129. Not going to lie. But 130 seems juicy to me personally. Not financial advice. I definitely say that. And I do like how you teed up the poly market selection that we were going to talk about today other than us going rogue on whatever we wanted to talk about because last time we brought it up, I started pulling some controversial topics to chat.
B
Hey, that's all right. That's my job. I got to keep us on track. I got to keep us on track as the producer. But we'll. Yeah, I think the, the poly market stuff is something that we're keeping an eye on. We might be making some more in depth content on it when the time comes, but there's just too much, too much in the crypto markets going on for us to kind of give effort there because the trenches are on fire. A little Pengu update. Well, it wouldn't be a meme coin rundown if we didn't do a little Pengu update. A favorite of the crypto101 pod. We talk about it a lot. Huge news breaking today, I believe or yesterday. Pudgy penguin earned its rear wings. The. The bird can fly. Not necessarily in the air, but it's going to be going fast because it is now an official sponsor. As you can see there on the wing of an F1 team at. I'm not a big F1 guy.
A
So cool.
B
Williams Racing. I've never seen that huge, huge around the world. And Joe, you were saying they're a little bit of a middle of the pack team, but what are your thoughts with.
A
I just think we're in October because Tebow was breaking Pengu news to me and I'm like, what's happening, like.
B
In the trenches? Catching 10 X's got another run rhyme on fireboys.
A
Yeah.
B
And then. And just I saw the Pengu news and threw it in the chat and you were like, oh my God, what team? What team? I was like, I can't believe I'm breaking news to Joe about.
A
Yeah, William's a good fit for them because they're up and coming. They just got new drivers, Albin right there and they got Carlos Sainz, who had a podium. So that's actually big news. And the colors kind of match because there are blue and white. They're. They're colors, official colors. And penguins blue. So it kind of makes sense. I wanted them to be McLaren, McLaren's number one right now. They're going to win the whole F1 constructor cup. But they're orange and black, you know, and Pudgy Penguin doesn't fly with that. But this is great news because there's a lot of eyeballs in F1 and I believe a little bit of Alpha to wrap things up here, Pengu wise. It's just a tie back to the previous card that we made, like punk strategy, Penguin strategy. And what's happened is that they asked Luca Netz, the founder of Pudgy Penguins, what he thinks about these NFT strategy companies, kind of like the Michael Saylor strategies, and he said nothing. He's like, he's mum. And the inklings are that he was going to implement his own strategy with his own token, which basically what that means is that Pengu is set to fly once he activates these types of mechanisms for his own ecosystem. He could pull that lever if he wanted to. But these other tokens, like cryptopunks, they don't have their own token. So other people are creating protocols to pull the levers for them. But Pudgy has that already in their own token. So they're doing cool stuff like F1 racing, but they have it once they deploy, or if they deploy the D5 ponzinomics of crypto that we all know and love, then Penguin is going to fly.
B
Yeah, I think it's great Alpha there, Joe, and great vision of never count out Lucanets. The guy's obviously a visionary in the space, but he's definitely going to announce on his terms. So it's something that. It's something that we'll watch for sure. And then again, the NFTs and the meme coins are flying. NFTs have definitely been a little dormant recently. Seem to be waking up some. Some news out of the Hyper foundation for hyper NFTs.
C
Oh. Oh, yeah. This. This is huge. Hyper liquid essentially airdropped 4, 600 wallets. The hyper. It's like a little cat hypurr. Hyper NFTs. So if you were an early user to Hyper Liquid. Not only did you get a massive airdrop in hype token but now just I think Monday or Sunday night they airdropped everyone these hyper NFTs and you're like oh that's great. Like what's it worth? Like a thousand bucks? 500 bucks? No.
A
Cool.
C
60K and has buyers left and right. So there's a lot of speculation. There's going to be a lot of added utility to this. There's gonna be added incentives but if you were early in on this hype just checking out their protocol, something you could have did for freaking free, you would have probably been one of the first addresses you would've got a massive hyper liquid airdrop. In addition to that you just get gifted months down the line a $60,000 NFT. Unfortunately I was actually just outside that window I think of using hyper liquid so I did not get my first airdrop or the hyper nft. But ha. Hats off to everybody that did.
B
Yeah. Joe, any, any thoughts on that?
A
No, I mean get on aster. What if they dropped $60,000 NFT? Let's go.
B
Yeah, yeah, I know that's. That would have been a hell of an airdrop to get. I know that. Another project NFT project we've talked about. Moonbirds. Are they announcing a token burb? Is that what I'm seeing here?
A
They officially announced a token on Solana. We talked about this three, four, three times maybe on this rundown and it did cause the pop the NFT price they're notably Ethereum project but they're launching a Solana which is great. Oh, I forgot my hot take TiVo because we moved on so quickly. I think Solana is going to hit all time high before the end of the year. I think a Solana ETF is going to come out before the end of the year. Those are my hot takes and anyways that's just a word in Solana Moonbirds though, they're. They're doing some fire stuff and yeah, we'll keep a lookout for you guys for when the tokenomics come out for this token but a lot of people anticipate it being like a five figure drop airdrop. So if you buy a moonbird right now it's cost north of like $12,000 something like that. But people anticipate that the cost will be covered by the burb token. So we will see. They raised. Well they didn't raise. They sold $1.7 million worth of toys in 24 hours. So I wouldn't put it against them. They have a Fire community who's putting their money where the mouth is.
B
Yeah, I would say Moonbirds is again, as somebody who kind of is the vibe guy. Right. I know Brian gets excited when I like a meme because it's the vibe check. Moon Birds is up there. I like the vibe. Pudgy Penguin was always kind of my favorite. You know, when we were down in the dumps with the, the Pengu token, I scooped that up. So definitely something that you're going to want to tune in for. We'll keep you updated. You know, sometimes those airdrops are interesting where, you know, they turn into kind of clearing events and you know, a lot of sell offs in the beginning and all that. And I think that's what Luca Net said in his, a lot of his interviews. Right. He's like, I learned a lot from, you know, the airdrop and token event. So, you know, it's definitely bullish overall, but it's definitely an event that you need to watch, learn, stay educated, stay nimble. But that's what Brian and Joe are going to do for you and we're going to cover it here on the Crypto 101 podcast. So let's see, moving on. I see something from Larva Labs, boys. What's that?
C
I'm sweating bullets over this. Not going to lie, boys. I think it's in six days from now on the ninth quarter of an eighth Art blocks. Who's the creator of Squiggles Creators Fidenzas. They've created 499 curated generative art pieces. They're capping it off. Final one is finally coming. The last one was Jack Butcher. Now it's going to be Larva Labs. Larva Labs, if anybody's curious, is the creator of Cryptopunks, Matt and John. And they sold it to Yuga Labs and all that. But Larva Labs, anything they touched seems to do very well. And how fitting Stofro and the Art Blocks team are doing it with Larva Labs. We're going to get these generative art pieces. You can see in the video there of them actually developing them. They look absolutely fire. I actually put the wrong link in there. This is one that Tyler talked about. It was actually the link to art blocks. But the generative art pieces look great. I think there's like 450 of them total. Does it even say on there? But it's something I'm firing at. I don't know if they're gonna appreciate. I don't know how they're gonna do. But I, I Want it. I. I want it bad. Whatever. I need to find out some details of how we're get. How you get it. Is there gonna be a white list? If. Is it just like old school days with first come, first serve? I'm gonna be bumping the way up in gas, but I'm definitely gonna be locked, ready to go on October 9th. I. I want it. I don't know. Joe, do you have any thoughts or vibes about this one?
A
Not financial advice, but yeah, they're definitely appreciated. I don't know what you're talking about. Larva Labs and Arc locks. Last collab. Yeah. 100. Yeah.
B
And then on the list here, Brian, underneath this, you have some bullet points underneath it. So is that. Is that related to this Larva Labs, or.
C
No, that's just. That's just. Actually, I don't know. I think those. Those are just some air drops that should have been below that airdrop stuff tab. We got some airdrops coming up. We talked about it last time we were here. Meteora as a TGE announced for October 23rd. Monad. That's your on right now. They're talking airdrops again. The last link there is actually a past cusp. Call the Bad Buns. If you want to click that link. That's Mega Eth. A chain coming out. We did this as a call to our community months ago. They were. They were a lot lower. They were. They were lower. I don't know. I don't remember off the top of my head, but I. I own two of these. I've been holding on to them forever. But the speculation is you're gonna be rewarded in the Mega Eth airdrop. We got. We got tons of airdrops. I. I literally been going over airdrops for the past couple days. We have the. We have the Metamask airdrops. We have the opensea airdrops. We have the Abstract airdrop. We have Myriad. We got Mega Eth. It feels like it's airdrop season. It's lining up for October and this end of the Q4, absolute final push. So if you really want to learn more about that, it's something we're talking about all the time, we're talking about on these rundowns, but it just. Just great news for anybody. It's kind of held their bad buns because it sounds like Mega Eth is coming soon.
B
Yeah. And then kind of as we. Let's see. We're approaching the top of the hour here. We can do a couple questions. I know if there's anybody down there in the chat that wants to fire some questions. We can get to those in a minute as we wrap up on our final topics. All right, fellas, the bottom of the sheet here. So much going on, so much to talk about that we almost overdid it. We already talked about the punk strategy, so we'll X that out. What's. What's this node strategy on BTC coming soon.
C
Yeah, so Node Monkeys is a top. I used to be a node monkey holder. Had some unfortunate stuff happen. Not anymore, but Node Strategies coming out with a strategy. A lot of these NFT companies are now utilizing this meta. Again, not sure if it's a buy, not sure if it's something I would be going into, but there's a lot of strategies coming out. You can click that picture there too. Tivo A lot of speculation and I'm not sure if this is confirmed or not. Joe, you might know about the Goblin Town checks by Jack Butcher, the Good Vibe Club, Max Payne by X Copy Meladies. They're all talking about having these NFT strategies. The reason I put them on the street sheet here is once these strategy coins come out, some might do really well. So it's just something to keep an eye on. These NFT strategies are definitely revitalizing NFTs, revitalizing meme coins, something we've been talking about forever. The integration of meme coins NFTs are going to continue to evolve and it's a great time to be taking a look at it. And when we talk about X Copy because I just mentioned the Max Payne and for everybody who's curious, X Copy is a premier digital artist. He's probably my favorite digital artist. I'm a grifter holder. So if you held one of these Max Payne NFTs or any sort of any sort of X copy NFT, you could have gone into their discord shout out to Joe because he's the one who alerted me and you could have clicked a raffle free to enter. You had a 1 in 60 chance to win and you were able to get an X copy NFT for 3.3 Ethereum. And just overnight I know a few more have sold one sold for 15 ETH. So what I'm saying here is NFTs still have massive liquidity and demand out there, especially for the top collections. So for free you could enter the raffle. If you hit, you had to pay 3.3 eth. Nothing. Not something cheap, but you're able to flip it for a at least a $50,000 profit. Hats off. I did not win because if I did I would have probably been in Vegas with Tebow tonight trying to double that 50 to 100. But you know, it's just a good point in case to show the NFTs and that last link TiVo on there you can just ignore. That's pretty much I think clean for the sheet of what we're talking about. But meme coins, NFTs, the majors. What a time to be alive.
A
Yeah, I think, I think Brian glazed over really quickly and I don't think a lot of people understood what Brian was saying. But he mentioned a few things. He mentioned X copy, owning a grifter, Max Payne and friends. So he, he's calmly said that he owned a grifter for. You don't know. A grifter is close to six figures right now. And that's like I took. Brian has a poster of it. He doesn't hang it behind his head because he doesn't get robbed. You know, get, get, get. You know, it gets done by you. But what he's saying is that for free you could go inside a discord and you could click on a raffle button and you had a chance of winning a $50,000 NFT. So these opportunities are available and that might be better than the 10 15x and a meme coin. But, but these are here and people are winning it and, and one out of a 42 chance to win a $50,000 NFT. Like who would click on that raffle? But I think everyone would. Right. So we, we present those to our community. And then I told Brian about it and he was like, hey, if I win it man, we're doing something. Dang. I can't believe you didn't win it though.
C
Yeah, I would have taken care of you, Joe. Not gonna lie. I, I had some plans, but I didn't win.
B
Well, we know there's always going to be another chance with you guys finding all the alpha in the trenches. We do have one question before we head out from Noah, Noah Blue, always hanging around in the chat. Appreciate you being here. Noah 100. He basically saying, let's see what he said. He's a nice little write up here. I feel the community is very obnoxious. Damn. Calling them out on social media and the Crypto bubble website has them as one of the better tokens of the week.
C
Yeah.
B
And I mean I can pull, I can pull it up here. I think off the top of my head it was like a 3040 winner for the week. So seven days, 36%. Let's see the one month only 16. One year, 550%. So can't be a hater on SPX 6900. I know Bryce was super early to that and got a huge win. Probably help from you guys too, right? It's something you called out. Any. Any thoughts of. You know, SPX here. I guess you kind of. You know that market cap, 1 billion. You definitely missed the early days of it.
A
Not ixbx69 specifically. I mean it's one of the top ones for a reason. It's survived multiple cycles by this time. So I. I do like it in terms of a long term hold, but I will punt or. Or sec. Put a spotlight on one that I know and love, which is nobody sausage. And that I believe will be a great one for the next cycle if you guys don't have eyes on that already. So, yes, we do like SPX 6900. Bryce loves it. But we do like nobody sausage also.
B
Yeah, dude, the sausage. The sausage didn't. It just had something.
A
I didn't make it on here. Changed Haritos to drink. Changed her profile picture to a nobody sausage.
B
Yeah, that was. Let me see if that comes up. If I Google it, I can't find it real quick to pull it up. But yeah, that was. That was some fun nobody sausage news. Let's see, anything else? We got Josh Joshua's newer. Joshua Lauer. Welcome, brother. I pulled my profits out, so we can't really talk about that virus. Consider. So do you think there's still upside in virus considering what Weed did? I don't know. I don't think we're. Are you guys covering virus and weed?
C
I could talk a little bit about it if you. So call it W. Just call it.
B
W. I don't want to get us taken down here on YouTube. Just call it. Wow.
C
Yeah, it's viruses by Pandemic Labs or something along those lines. I think it's like a $15 million market cap or something along those lines. It's kind of like a meme Coin game. Burn and buybacks. Weed was very similar where it was like a web3 like DeFi Gaming meme coin where you would grow and harvest that product. And there was a meme coin with burn and buybacks. I. I didn't get in on either of those, but I do know a buddy that was like huge into that token and absolutely loved it. I haven't followed it closely enough to like give anybody like some really good insight, but there's there was a lot of buzz around it. I would be curious to kind of dig a little bit deeper. Probably something I'll do after the rundown here. But they had similar mechanics with like flywheels and burning buybacks and in game mechanisms to give it like a unique tokenomics to it. And then obviously the, the tokens have unique names to it which people meme out. But that's kind of my two cents on it. I'm not sure. I think Virus is actually getting smoked for the day. If I remember, I think I saw it down like 30 or 40%. So I don't know if I'd feel super comfortable diving in. I think there's a lot of other really great opportunities out there.
B
Yeah, the market's so hot right now, it is, I don't know, quite quote unquote the best time of the year when the market's ripping. It's October. We're going into Q4.
