Transcript

Yo-yo, what up? What up? Good morning. Good morning. GMD Friday. Oh my God. This week. This week just flew by. Friday, May 9th, 2025. Look at that. Another beautiful day to have a beautiful day. I got my coast in the house. Tyler Mando, good morning. How are you doing today? What a day. I thought you had my best two days trading for a year. Wow, Yeah, the it's this is it's one of those weeks, right Where like you can catch your best. On the show, I was like, this is

the trade, no? Don't know the hat or another one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's. Oh, no, you're fine. It's good. Sorry. Vanessa's trying to wear the OT row radio hat. I have one of those like 4 years ago. What the fuck you are in this hat anyways? I realized I'm the right one. It's memorabilia, OK? It's memorabilia. OK. We only have one of those. Like probably like there's like 10 in the world anyways. Yeah, man. Pepe, 5 foot $3 billion. Listen, listen, listen, listen.

This show, you know, a lot of people left during this down period and those who stayed give you a lot of good calls. You know, I'm, I'm just going to put it that way. You know, I'm just going to put it that way. It's within the Pepe call or the mall call or the rack call. I mean, we're cooking on fart coin. We're I mean, it's, you know, we've in Solana itself. I mean big, like, I don't know, man, I don't know what this we're we're holding hands here, boys.

We, we need to put like a tipping jar. You know, someone here for sure has made like, like someone in there has probably made a couple $1,000,000 wants, you know, buy the boys, buy the boys a couple Aquanauts, you know, I mean, I don't know, I don't know. You know, someone's got to have tailed anyways. Tyler, how you doing today? I'm good. I'm wearing triple green green hat, green shirts, green shorts to to commemorate this day.

This is wild, and I've been pretty much all in this market really the whole time, but I still feel underexposed. Like these? Candles are wild. Yeah, they're crazy. I was just yeah, Mando that we're talking about this like 3 as the show was starting, like where do we what do I what am I meant to like take a bit off like I just don't know, which is actually kind of what I want to talk about today on the show later. So when we're through market, let's actually talk about this,

right. A lot of people are wondering, is this where I take off? Is this why I put more risk? Am I waiting for a dip? But can you go higher that so it's this weird period where it's like you're really happy because everything's up a lot and then you think, hey, am I missing on the next move or should I take off or should I do nothing? So I think a lot of people in this position today, I'm not going to including myself. I'm like, holy shit, right. So it's it's definitely a good

thing to talk about. We'll go to Tyler's top 100. I'm sure Tyler has a lot to talk about as well as yesterday was news galore. Tyler, it was just boom, boom, boom, boom. It was a lot. So would be great for you to break it down for us. We have the youth giveaway. I mean to we're at this stage forget the minimum 500 bucks we've given away like at least $1000 a day on the show. So you have to see love to see that. So some lucky winner will come

in the coat today. We'll just give it right off the bat is mog I'm hearing oh, I'm hearing as mog markets coming to Marriott today. Is that what I'm hearing? Is it today? I don't know. Rumor has it. I mean rumor meaning Sims lady posted it on the timeline, but I'm hearing myriad mug markets coming so that'll be some fun ones. And then last but not least, this show is powered by powered by wallet connect wallet connect is the connectivity network shaping the future of unchain UX.

Follow Wallet connect on X and Telegram to stay ahead of what's next. Shut the shut the Jazz yesterday came on the show Barrier Smart, and it was a lot of fun to have her on. Anyways, Mando, let's have this market conversation. I think everybody's eager for it. Can you dig it? Yeah, GM, everyone.

It is a bit of a wild day when risk happens in crypto. It happens fast. The last couple of days, if you've missed them, you know, it's kind of a whole year's worth of price action or many, many months worth of price action for some of these coins happen within the space of two days. We saw the main mover has really been ETH actually, I think that's the main change in majors here and that is mainly US, the Petra upgrade.

So it feels as though because it's now gone deflationary again, people have gotten very Bush again on ETH and was what it was trading at 1400. Right now it's trading at 2300. Yeah, kind of a wow, that in a month, right, Less than a month. That was the oh, about a month ago, 1400.

Now it's 2003. And so a huge move that in in ETH and mainly due to the fact that it's gone deflationary after Petra, which has gotten people very, very bullish and and that led to a bunch of ETH memes as well, just like absolute people sending. Ribbing. Big, big moves across the board in ETH memes, particularly Pepe, but you had big moves in Mog and then yeah, just like every single ETH meme had a massive move. And then you started to see also some of the 2024 memes have big

moves as well. So Peanut up 90%, Moodang up 160%. Wait what? I didn't see Moodang? Holy shit. This tells you that risk taking is is starting to pick up. It felt very grabby when I woke up this morning. It was just like, buy whatever you can before the US gets in and yeah, like very, very aggressive moves now across the board in a, in a bunch of different coins. So I don't, I don't know, like this sort of grabbiness.

I've learned to just like to, to fade myself when it feels like that and be like, OK, maybe if everyone's grabbing, now is the time. He's dying. I had a very good couple of days. So like I'm, I'm just kind of I had that Pepe move. I'm kind of thinking about reducing it. But I do think that ETH suddenly has got the narrative, which I think is very, very interesting, very, very interesting. And it's no longer the ETH rallies, the market pukes, it feels like, which is a good, a good sign.

I don't know what we're going to see now. Like it feels as though it feels as though if ETH really does go here to like 3-4 K what what does that do for the other coins? Would be an interesting one. Like I don't know what that means for Solana. I mean, Solana's clearly going with it do. You know what I mean? Like, no, it would be. It's going to be a very interesting month suddenly now, but it definitely feels like ethol is alike.

This is our time. You know, this pectra upgrade, it has has changed the dynamic of the of the chain and like, if we're going to grab the narrative now, is it? So I'm not going to I'm never going to say never. Let's see what happens. Listen, just got to respect the pump. Macro we have seen very little we obviously the UK trade deal there was some talk about the US reducing tariffs from 145% to 80%. I don't think that's necessarily a great situation either.

So, and I don't know, stocks rallied a little bit, but not that much for for crypto specific though there's been a lot of like good institutional headlines over the last 24 hours. So you had matter potentially looking at. That's crazy. And that would be a very, very one of the, the only big mag 7 firms to kind of get involved here. You had, I think Missouri passed a thing about crypto, crypto gains being exempted, which I think was like a, a blue sign.

You saw Ripple SEC case being closed. You saw yeah, I guess the coin based acquisition is quite a big deal, but like the the big ones, I think was the meta one.

The only barest thing is that obviously the the stable coin act didn't pass the Senate. And so something to be aware of that like the, the politics of crypto is not, it's kind of drifted back away from us, which isn't fantastic, but it feels as though we're we're rallying on, I mean, Bitcoin, Bitcoin dormance has gone down a little bit, but this feels like there is very, it's very hard to paint a bear case for Bitcoin right now with all of this, with all of this adoption.

It just feels slightly excessive in terms of risk taking. This, this this first morning, that's all it is. So on that, no, because I the misery stuff, the the meta stuff and stuff I'm sure we'll get into with Tyler because I'm sure you have like you're going to break us down all the topics and I want to get into a bunch of them. Tyler looks pumped. What's he benching at the moment? It's so funny. Yeah, I think all the boys are hitting the gym hard, but I

think all three of us, right. I doubled my intake 10 grams. I thought it was going to bloat me. I'm feeling jacked right now anyway, so we'll talk about that later. You know, obviously not medical advice, but before going there, because that's kind of like selfish. Do you want to ask you? But also I'm sure a lot of people feel that way. So you have a few categories of people have people who miss the move which are wondering if they should chase it, which probably

will. They are chasing it. They are chasing it so but it so there's that there are people who caught the move who wonder if they should add more risk or go riskier. So they say they caught the move and BCC sold and they won't go down to memes right further on the risk curve. And then you have people who just fool on caught the move and wondering when and if they should cut it or some. So like, where are we now, right? Like in terms of this move,

because this is a massive move. But when you zoom out of the charts, I'll zoom out of the charts. I'm like, whoa, am I really cutting this here? Right, zoom out of the charts. So let's say you need some memes, right? Let's say, let's take, let's take like, let's take. But I wouldn't focus on the memes right now. If you're really wondering whereabouts, I'll focus on Bitcoin. OK, so let's look at Bitcoin. Bitcoin hit that range, right?

It hit the top of that the range yesterday at one O 4. So this is the range right now. The range was the this this range the Darth Maul here that was one O 4 and 92 right. So it reclaimed the range and it hit it. You can tell it really rejected there not once, but twice. So So what I would say is that, like what of what I just said is do not look at a mean point chart and think that the market owes you anything returning to all time high.

Look at where Bitcoin is. Bitcoin has had a decent bounce back this morning. When I started to see peanut and Moodang up like that, I started to think, you know, like that's very grabby, like if somebody's being pitched peanut or particularly peanut, because it feels as though like no one even knew why that pumped, but that that that was almost like a mini top when it rallied last time. You know, that's like the Oh my God, we just need to buy anything and it will pump.

You know, that's like the drags of a pump, you know, when that happens. And so that's why I was like, OK, now is the time I've taken, I've taken profits in pretty much everything that I own this morning. I still own the the the the the the things that I still own. Obviously apart from epic and and and wrecked mog I got back in. I just feel as though I would kill myself if mog if ETH goes to 3K here. MOG double s again, yeah. There you go.

I caught my Pepe because it had been a really good trade and I just felt like, you know, if it's up 40% from this show yesterday, it was time to like take some profits and, and what else have I still got? Like I've got smaller positions in far coin, I've got smaller positions in Tau, but I have taken I've taken profits across the board. Part of that is just because I just wanted to lock in a really

good. Couple, have you taken levered profits or have you taken spot profits because you you trade both like you have your spot positions and you have your levered positions? I've I've I've done a bit of everything. I've also added a few shorts if I'm honest. Yeah, trader. Well, I just felt this morning like, if you want to trade sentiment. Well, you're a trader, you. You messaged me first thing being like oh I wish I'd 5X to levered some position. And I was right.

And I was right. He's not. He's building. The bag in Sonic, no. No, no, no. That's. Not what I'm saying peanut, peanut has gone up 80%. Moody's got 150. You know the feeling, right? Those are the signals that I remember from previous times where I'm like, just trade how you feel And if everyone is desperately waking up trying to buy because they're like, oh, I'm going to catch the the final bit. I just feel like it's time for me to take.

So I don't care if it pumps a little bit more from here. Normally when it gets to this sort of level it it at least after a couple of days it calms down so. I'm just. Going to chill. I mean, for us with the peanut moves, looks like there's like some weird stuff happening on exchange with like 700 dollars, $1,000,000 worth of volume on there and bonkai longing it. But a lot of them feel like there's there's a it's more just catching up. Like what?

What is the pitch for Peanut? It is like there's a cabal pumping it for. Higher level, right? And that is always like the, that's like the peak. You can never get that unless it's like peak frothiness. I mean, the pitch for me, I caught the trade and I did really well overnight. The pitch was this OK, like $866 million worth of sex volume, something's going on. And then you have the bunk guy all of a sudden just talking about it like the lows similar to when he longed far coin, you

know what I mean? That's the pitch. I don't think it's like a chasing because there's not much on chain. Like last night when I got into the peanut trade, there was only $7,000,000 on decks volume and I was 22. So people follow. Bunkai is not big. They're not trading on exchange. There's someone making it on sex to the tune of $900 million of volume, right? That's different to me.

Don't you just it's more just like a narrative like you can, you can pitch that narrative at many other times and it's normally towards the top, right? Like, yeah, let's see, what Mudang? Own this because we can pump it, right? Yeah, Mudang's the same, right? Look at this similar story. Has got a bit more of a genuine community to it than peanut, right? But peanut was like. Yeah, no. I and then went to 2 billion. Yeah, they have a lot of all these all of a sudden all their holder bases.

Like you could see it happen at the show guy, like someone did the same shit. It seems like if you look at the daily holder count on these, all of a sudden look at this like Mudang, look at this, all this, look at this. All of a sudden there's like a mega can green candle on the Mudang daily holder account. Like a lot of people, I feel we're trying to squeeze these coins. You know what I mean? That's exactly what I'm saying, yeah. It's just whale games.

You got to be careful if you're listening to this. I'm just saying that when I see that, it rings alarm bells for me rather than I want to get into that trade. I think I, I thought OSF messaged me being like, you should buy it and I bought it. But then this morning when it was at 300 million, I was like, this feels like the moment market turns, suddenly I was going to be like, oh crap. I was the guy who who believed in the final theory. Yeah, don't get caught holding in here.

You're saying when it could go down here before they even send it back, right? It's all short squeezes. Proves that it's probably towards the just a short term like I'm I'm never going to be buried from crypto. Obviously. I'm just saying that like I took profits across the board today and we said on the show when me and Tyler sat there when, when Bitcoin was at 78 K and said, look, this is the time to buy. I'm saying I think this is the time to maybe take some profits here.

OK, this man was called. You hurt him. You hurt him. I feel like I agree and disagree. So I I I agree with the your sentiment on these like this meme coin overnight blow off top. And I like my natural reaction this morning was I got to enter some of these trades. How did I miss all these trades? And that feels like the wrong emotion objectively. And I feel like I'm seeing that I think people are waking up and like, like, where do I jump in

here this morning? The answer probably is nowhere. With that being said, I feel like my, my gut read on Bitcoin is we, we probably see one more, we go one O 4, it comes back to 100K and then maybe we shoot all time in the next couple weeks. And if that happens, then I think you got to throw out throw out all the rules. I think it's just a question of when do you think Bitcoin if when do you think Bitcoin can go

to all time high? Because if it passes one away, I feel like everyone's coming off the sidelines and they're just firing crypto risk. Yeah, M2 chart, the M2 charters are saying it's soon. What's the M2 chart saying? When is it? When is it happening? I think we've got one more dip coming up and then it. No, Mando makes a good point like when I even look at most of the charts that I'm in like far coin, the cup handle broke cup handle broke cup handle. I did it again, right.

It was perfect. By the way, clockwork we talked about this thing in chat like when I saw Farquin go to billion, I'm like, well, look, the handle forming it's going to rage and into the 30% in a day. So that was a good catch and we peaked out again 134 ish failed to break that probably handle again, probably break again. So there's a lot of easy trade setups. I fill this market right now. I I know the stuff I buy as well, and the stuff I want to buy too. So what, what, what's your next

move? Right? So if you're if you're kind of advising people by NFA, all that stuff, this just man those thing his you're talking your own like what you're doing. So if you're in thing takes some profits, then where do you put it back on? When do you know to put it back on? What's your next move? Like? How do you play that? I I'll be honest and say I'm buying eat beta, I'm buying Pepe, I'm buying mug. I'm I might even buy eat. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Like a few days ago you didn't want to talk about eat. You guys this is like this is insane. Trading. We caught some slack. We caught some slack on the timeline for the other show with Ovie the other day because we talked shit games he may have bought him to eat. Luckily I caught the traaper via Pepe and and mob right. I haven't been paying enough

attention. But like if if they can get ultrasound money thing spun up here in terms of the narrative, like I think I think that can run for a little bit. So yeah, I'll be buying Ethan ETH beta on on a dip, yeah. Interesting. You know another ETH beta? Just flip Bitcoin. What? He's he's back. Hold on. We got to talk about this before we get the Tyler's top 100 here, here we go. Here we go lads. The. E the Bitcoin crypto punk ratio is back in play with crypto punks at $105,000 per unit.

Crypto punk. Let's go he's let's go baby Tyler. I mean dude, you must be your fork right now. It's so funny because like I love taking the side. It's right though, I've got more Bitcoin exposure than punk exposure. But it's just wild how fast this was. I mean punks were sitting at like 75 K like a week ago. It just goes to show you how fast these moves are. And then like if you look at this board, I mean this is thin and this is a a thin punks board.

So the ETH, they're not up that much, right, But in dollars because of the ETH pump, they caught the bid, right? Because in ETH it was like 3070. 30 Well the ETH was crashing. I mean Manuel said ETH was 1460 a month ago. So what happened was the punks floor was grinding up in ETH terms but ETH was so. Bad What a move on ETH, eh it? Just didn't matter for the for the price of punks in USD. But then we, we just caught what a 40% move in ETH and I mean. 62% move in ETH since April 21st.

It's. Crazy, that's. Too, which is not that long ago, 62%. And then punks basically have held before, so they're not dipping. I don't know, I feel like they could go to 150 real quick. Yeah, man. Are you buying a punk? You, you made a lot of money. Just buy a punk store of value. Give it to your kids. Yeah, I. You said you want to risk on ETH, you know just saying besties. Yeah, like NFT collections kind of held their flaws right, so.

They did like board Apes have put a strong floor like 1213. Pudgy has put a strong floor like 911 Punk's around like 35 ish 36. So technically, Tyler, you're back green on the punk, no. No, not quite. Well I mean it depends. Like if I mine's a slightly above 4 or. Something. Yeah, it's true. You could sell around here. You're probably 40. Like you're here. I made. Like 110 so. I'm yes, you're you're, you're even. Yeah. Would you rather own Margo or a

punk? I mean, I already own a punk, so I'll say MOG, but if I had to pick which of the two here, that's what I'm. Talking about like, that's the question. I'm well, if I have to pick one and I'm trying to and I'm a trader short term, I'm picking mog because it's much easier to trade a an ERC 20 by far. Yeah, that's what I'm picking. What about you, Tyler?

Like I, I don't know if I if I have to trade, if you're give me, you have two weeks to trade, you have to pick one and given 100K I'm going to have to pick the coin. I think MUG probably outperforms on a short time. Short term, yeah. Yeah. But punks didn't dip as much as mug did during that downturn, right? Like when it went from 1/5. Liquid trade right? Like so you if you can't get out of the SO. It's different. Can I pose another question? What do you think about Solana?

Yeah. I mean I'm bullish as fuck but. 3K What do you think happens to salt? It doesn't change. I I think this is the same story like every coin came to kill ETH to kill soul and what now ETH is the coming back to kill soul. You know, I mean like, it's like. I would flip that on the other way around. I think soul came to kill ETH.

Yeah, but then like during that period where sold was like destroying ETH, it's like oh strong memes, oh BSc memes, oh hyper liquid or this like how many times have you heard that and it didn't happen the. Death of soul. Oh, I'm just saying. That like. It'd be very interesting market dynamic if if ETH now rallied and what that would do to Seoul and Seoul like because Seoul has the majority of the left curve gambling stuff as well, right?

Like but if if ETH memes run right and ETH NFTS run. Well, I don't know. I don't know what you think, Tyler, but there's some news too, like on the Lechner stuff, like it's all Solana, man. That's where I was going to go. So I think I think Seoul still performs very well in that scenario. I would say my, my gut is it

probably runs one to one. Like I don't really have a read on what would outperform necessarily, but go look at the meme volumes and for kind of saying the link, like the they're grinding back up. So like there's volume, there's trading activity rising on Solana. You've got like the one of the main narratives that was ETH was tokenization is going to take place on ETH.

I'm not saying it's not, but a lot of these new players, Lesnar's new company Super State, they're going to tokenize stocks on Salana. Yeah. And so you've got builders coming to Salana, the mean volume is on Salana, and you've got these new corporate treasuries spinning up. And I still like the Salana. I think if ETH runs Mando, it's the situation Solana runs with. It's not the other. It's not like one or the other. I think it's gone so big that it's like and Seoul not or ETH

soul. What's that? I'm definitely not as certain about that. Definitely not. Interesting. So you're saying you think it could be ETH runs while soul like maybe like 180 or something? I think there's there's a world here where that happens. I'm not certain about anything. Like, yeah, the obvious thing would be like, you know, if ETH runs and you know, a lot of beta

will run all that sort of stuff. But the pain could be that ETH runs now and a lot of the left curve stuff or the big gains that you see are in ETH means like let's say Pepe does another 2X. Let's say Mog makes a big move. Let's say SPX makes a big move. And then Skull probably does well but slightly underperforms even on the left curve stuff. And then there's like this. Oh was this the wrong thing to earn Kind of bad I I don't know but that I don't.

I'm definitely not certain that soul run, ETH runs, then soul runs. I don't know, I'm liking alts here too, man. Like, I don't know, like I never, I never got out of a Sonic trade and it's looking good again, like. It's like a really run, like it's afraid. Well, a lot of alts are looking good like if, what if Bitcoin does chill here like yesterday night, Bitcoin kind of like stopped running.

I like I hit that one O 4 mark right at the top of range and it stood there, which it is right now. And the alts just kept going overnight and I woke up to the same price of Bitcoin, but all my memes and alts up another 20 points. So there's also that possibility, right. So I'm looking at this one, which I still have a huge bag of. Full disclosure, I'm looking at this as a naughty and I'm like well if it finally breaks at $0.61, Sky's the limit.

Like hot air rises. On post the AirDrop that's that's my general view on it. Yeah, And then this, Solana, you're telling me this looks similar? You break 180. You're there's so much room here, right? I don't. Know, I think I, I personally think that Solana looks precarious. That's my gosh. And I think that catch a lot of people out. So if you think Solana looks precarious, do you feel the same way about its main coins? That's why I took off my Falcon.

Interesting. I took off my fart coin. I took off Pangu. Interesting. Wow A. Few a few of them and I was like, right, I'm going to buy. I want to eat and eat pizza right now. Interesting. So you didn't take the trades off fully, you just reallocate it to another like you know what you're saying? Like are people selling like table?

On on a bunch of those trades and the only ones I've kept on are ETH trades and on dips now, because I also think the market could could go a little bit lower here in general, like I think, which takes everything lower. And then on those dips, I'll be buying ETH. I'll be buying ETH memes. Interesting. Yeah. I guess one macro thing we haven't talked about yet is we had the China U.S. trade talk this weekend and if it the new surfaces that like not much

progress is made at all. I see that being kind of a sell off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, I don't see that anymore in the bad news. Like I seen the bad news gets shit, you're right. It sells off for an hour, but I think it often gets shaken off the same hour and then it's comes back to surprise. Then good news is great news. So I feel like we're in this market was like, bad news is OK

and good news is great. But maybe that's consensus now because I was saying this like a month ago and I caught the trade. Maybe now I'm the consensus guy, so I don't know. We'll see where it's at. What? Like it's not trading that well suddenly. Yeah, I mean, you're, you kind of topped it, you know? Thank you, man. Though. Hey, by the way, you can, if you guys want to blame someone, we've shifted the blame to the parochers. You. Showed us dude. Fuck you, motherfucker.

You on here saying yeah, we topped, I'm short. Get the fuck out, man. What's going on? What the fuck is going on? What the fuck is going on, man? By the way, the code is mog raffle ball that XYZ. If you want to win money on his this motherfucker's platform, sign up you.com phone hours the code we. Get man, you're. Founder, you've done like $100 million of volume on heat. I'm seeing, I'm seeing, I'm seeing KVM dunking on people on the timeline. I get it. I get it, man.

I get it, guys made it. I get it. Okay, you're right though honestly good shout Mando and thank you. Every day. Can you imagine what that's like? Can you imagine? I can't see. The mood there, that man, yesterday, he was just like in a massive mood because Bitcoin broke. I was. Wondering how he's doing because he hasn't been talking about trades at all.

He he took a week off trades because he he was travelling, but in general I think he went out for dinner or something with like a couple of traders and and then came back just kiss just so annoyed because. Because everybody made a ton of money. I had, I had 400 Bitcoin like why didn't I keep it? Yeah, he saw he was probably a little drunk too and he was like, fuck, man, I did the math on the 400 Bitcoin. That's $40 million. That's right, that's right. That's $40 million.

The proof is in the pudding. Hold your Bitcoin. I I like I like have you guys been following? I'll go to Utah in a minute, but have you guys been following P OS arc on the timeline? Yeah. Pio Vincenzo like strong just straight up BTC micro strategy nothing else like do you guys think this is viable in 2025 Bitcoin price at 100K do you guys think just accumulated Bitcoin beats the market in five years yeah I think nothing else you know a lot to buy mug you know what Bitcoin.

It's nothing for me, but I think it's from like 90% of people, yeah. What? What was the question? Just Bitcoin next five years does it beat you're not allowed to trade yeah you you're just allowed to DCA Bitcoin you're not allowed to sell it you don't have to do anything you just have to DCA Bitcoin and. That's been the the trade for the last. 15 years, yeah, that's

right. But The thing is like if, if you've got, if you show up because you like this game and you've got a 10K bankroll, I think you have to go further out the risk curve if you want to try to get into position to, to ever own a whole Bitcoin, right? So like DCA do all that. But I think there's there's reasons why we we show up and play, yeah, without the risk curve. Yep Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep absolute fucking lutely, and we

love the game. Speaking of the game, Tyler, see what you got for us today, Ford Really NFT and crypto analysis Tyler T on FOMO our calls the kids. Can yeah, folks, crypto major is very green this morning. Bitcoin at 3 percent 1026 ETH up 15 percent 2300 leading the way. We saw several alts ina unity OP hype up 15 to 20%. Standard Chartered. They came out and apologized. We said. They said we're sorry, our

targets aren't high enough. They had to raise their Bitcoin predictions suggesting 120K for Q2 might be too conservative. That was a fun one. We had some big news yesterday on a lot of fronts. So the OCC came out and said that regulated national banks in the US can buy, sell, custody, and outsource crypto services for their customers.

So that was a huge one. We talked about Coinbase yesterday, but that was an all time high M&A for DARE, but $2.9 billion we saw Robert Lesnar Super State announced they're expanding in the tokenized US equities. They're going to start with sole strategies as their first offering as they actually operationalize this.

We saw Ramp say they're going to introduce the industry's first stablecoin backed corporate cards in partnership with Stripe. Rumble announced plans to launch a non custodial Bitcoin and stablecoin wallet in Q3. Missouri became the first state to make crypto capital gains tax free in that state. So a slew of positive headlines there, a couple of negative ones. Coinbase, they did miss a bit on, on some of their earnings yesterday. I, I think the, the stock was

down. I have to check out here this morning. The Genius Act failed to pass that vote yesterday. Some concerns around Trump's ties. I guess they also the bill was changed in the last week. So like there was some thought around that not enough time to review it so that the Genius Act

did not get through. I always saw the SEC and Ripple agree on a $50 million settlement and then Celsius CEO or former CEO Alex Mashinsky sentenced to 25 years in prison in token AirDrop and protocol news boob. Oh no, they changed their air drop mechanics. They saw that most Creator air drops to 50% boop down 40% on the day. The market did not like that change. On a lighter note, Wreck brands and now it's another wreck token buy back baby to the tune of

$100. Market like that quite a bit. That wreck token is up a lucky Poly market better. I don't know if you saw this, he hit 101 on the new Pope being Robert Francis Prevost from Chicago hometown Chicago Pope baby. The city was electric on this news yesterday and this guy made like $60,000 on the bet. So nice little bet if he doesn't get excommunicated for having done that. And then the doodles token food

went live this morning. It opened around 100 million or so. Looks like it's closer to 60 million right now in AI memes NM TS rounding. This town, Hold on, hold on, hold on. You don't get to just go past that. What do you say? Like you didn't just pull that it should blow into 300 million. Yeah, I I was off, I was off on my dude prediction higher than this. I really did. I think we said 100 million. That would be like a where it might settle day one.

I thought it would at least have a run higher than this and it really didn't. So it's at 73,000,000 FTV. Did you also see the the The Phantoms post yesterday? But they're not. About the doodles launch so it's funny because in Farsi doodle means you know doodle, you know like person's in here means like it means like a like a Dick, you know and and they posted this phantom. I don't know, am I the only one seeing this right like mad all right? Am I wrong for this like I?

Mean it's their ghost, but. It's their ghost but looks like a. I would not, I never would have put this together, if I'm being honest, without you having. But how am I the only one seeing this? Like am I the only one with Dick here? Like don't you ever look down and look at this and like, yo, that's looks the same thing like like, I don't know, but like Amanda, are you seeing the screen? Like am I wrong here? I mean. I think you're right. I think you're 100% right.

I I don't know. I'm so immature. I'm sorry. Anyways, we stopped Tyler doing his his rundown. Keep going, Tyler. Sorry. That's right. AI market cap up 15%, back over 10 billions at 10.7. A lot of those, those AI leaders were up 20 to 30% on the day. So that the memes, it was memes, it was those AI tokens as well. We talked about those OG memes. Mudang up 150%, Peanut up 80%, FLOG up 60%. So there's huge runs there. The leaders were up about 10 to 20%.

Pepe outperformed, up 40%. That NEAT token is hanging around. Not a whole lot of action from that new meme class, the 2025 class, and Salon. In fact, most were red on the day. Except Neat. Neat was a winner of those Hypeo babies and NFTS. Those were up 50%. And then Julian Hogan shout the Hip went from doodles to being the CEO of Rolling Stone. Saw that? So that was nice to have mine for. Him big upgrade that's for sure so look a lot going on.

That's actually pretty cool. Hey, he was still a billboard before then. He went to doodles, then went back and scored a job at an even better magazine. It looks for Rolling Stone. So. He did some cool stuff at Doodles. I feel like it was a little underappreciated. Also felt like he was kind of overqualified for that. Job I agree I didn't like the message when they said that doodles the move on from the corporate that I felt like a stop to him when he moved like that message and.

He got he got a Farella makeup movie for. That he, he did a lot like he actually he saved the project

during the bear market. He he held it down, you know, not take anything away from that from the other like people like Austin that work fucking asses off shot Austin Hurwitz, stuff like that that never gave up. But I'm just saying like he was a good CEO in bear market and Dudo's one of the most hated projects, right, in terms of NF TS like receiving a lot of backlash and he he really held it down pretty well. So shout out to Julian. Congratulations on the new

position. I think it's it's awesome. Anyways, Tyler, where should we even start? I mean, I kind of want to talk with the Robert Lesnar news because it kind of talk it, it taps into what Mando was saying about Solana, but also this like block works activity stuff that you sent me in the chat. So why don't we just start there? So Lechner is a fucking legend, man. So what is he up to right now?

Yeah, So he launched Super State and they're moving into stock tokenization, new blockchain based marketplace for public equities. It's going to be first available on Solana. It's called Opening Bell. It will. It was unveiled on Wednesday again allowing companies to create tokenized versions of SEC registered stock shares and then trade directly on the blockchain. Supports real time around the clock trading and programmable securities.

So that's going to be an interesting aspect to dive into here. Targets are already available public firms. It looks like they're also going to go into late stage private companies seeking access to liquidity. And again, sole strategies is going to be the first issuer on the platform less in their stock for on chain trading pending regulatory approval. So they still have to get that approval, but that is coming. And I think people are excited about this, like everyone's kind

of spent this local bear market. Complaining about the lack of use cases for crypto. Yeah. There's nothing new. Here's a big new thing to do, huge stock trading around the clock and perhaps in a programmable way. I think it's. But see that's happening on Solana like that's the thing like like to what you're saying Mando earlier, That's why we're bringing it back to this. Like this is like this is going to be all in Solana and sort of activity. You know what I mean? Like the whole like.

But did that save Eve? Eve was like that. I've become a big bigger believer in what we were just talking about before, which is that the XRP trades at crazy level versus utility, right? It just trades. Oh. Yeah, it just makes no sense, Yeah. People believe it's a currency. I kind of feel like with the ultrasound money narrative with EVE, it may have got back the currency narrative, which I think is actually a much more powerful narrative when it comes

to the L1 tokens. So if it was based on activity, Solana should be trading at like more than all the other chains probably combined. I mean, this is the activity, right? It's still up a lot, like it's still high. Yeah, I'm just saying that like the actual value of an L1, I think it's based on two things. Number one, it being viewed as a a way for you to gamble.

So like basically a currency for E Jenning of which Solana has and the second one is as almost like a store of value slash currency that you might own for a long time. I don't know if Solana's got that. I feel like at the moment it's got the real like utility gamble token aspect and ETH for a while had the aspect of like never sell each, you know, because it's going to be the best currency forever. And you've seen whispers of that

come back a little bit. So, so that's why, that's why I think that's a powerful narrative rather than because Salon doesn't have that maybe it like inflates about four or 5% a year at the moment. Interesting. Yeah. I mean, I saw your your stat, Tyler. Anything you wanted to bring up on that activity board or? Yeah. Just take a look at that pump fund revenue. I feel like that's an interesting gauge market sentiment. Yeah, if you Scroll down, like

about halfway down, keep going. Pump farm. Yeah, there it is on the right. Wow. OK. It's back up a lot. It's like clear, clear bottom there the whole month of March kind of grinding up in April and they're back over 2 million a day up 100% off the bottom. So like the, the animal spirits are are back, are coming back, the the Deejuns are active over

there. So I think it's just this is an interesting indicator, something to be aware of I think when you're taking like a broader picture of the market and and what people are doing. Speaking of which, Cookie Dog fun $11 billion AI market cap. That's a big comeback, boys. It is. It's a. Huge comeback here. Comeback. Virtuals is leading the way. Virtuals was up like 50% at one point yesterday. We've got that Virgin Points program their their community won't shut up about it.

I haven't seen anyone talk about the actual tokens they're launching. They're they're getting, but via this program, they're all getting these super cheap entries to these new token launches and they're all printing. So they're going to. It's a nice little flywheel for that virtual token. Still no Coinbase love on that one. AI16Z shout out to Ovie. He he stayed with it. It's up, up nicely off the bottom. I mean, it's it's nowhere near virtual. I mean, virtual is well over a billion.

Another perfect cup and handle that just broke out. Yeah. And so this went to four, I think at peak, right 4. Dollars four, yeah, that'll go back to four with far coin all time high as well. They're both running in back AXBT. Should we talk about AXBT? Because remember that on the show last week Randall was saying, well, that's another one It cut, it handled and it could break out. Like it's still top of mind share guys and you don't want another one I want to give a shout out to.

I've never owned it and never traded that Eva thing. That shit has been fucking strong. It's in all my mentions and I thought there was some news around Eva Labs yesterday. They're doing a little, we're doing a little pre sale for a new agent related to the ecosystem. There was something that you cut a deal with somewhere. Our listeners, you got a 48 hour pre sale, so I'm going to let you go find.

Them interesting. No, there was something though there was a news something that they did. There's some, Oh yeah, the the Mir AI. Wait, is that the one that we signed up to the other day? I'll give you my Rev code. Tyler, did you use it? You're you're, you're thinking of that agent that you reply. Never mind, never mind. I'm not involved in this presale. I don't have anything. I signed up to the wrong thing, clearly, but there was

something. I don't know then honestly, like I've been kind of unplugged from the Daily News from some of the crypto AI projects. But this is impressive man like. If you're if you're unplugged, that means the whole market is unplugged, just to let you know. Yeah, everyone for the daily market, you did. I don't understand, so you were the most plugged in AI guy during the entire downtrend, reminding us of the price of AI16Z every day and you're unplugged now? I mean, I've only got so much.

Time. And mental compassion. Yeah, no, but I still use your board. I mean this. Is I mean when the bubble burst it all kind of it kind of like burst it. Like. All of it for me like. Yeah. And we didn't. We weren't really seeing a whole lot of innovation, still a whole lot of the same stuff like are we really just going to run our AI agents? Back How's this dog shit doing?

Because it's all the same stuff like we have like other than it must not even pump on that much is prompt is like is doing OK, but like it's it's like the actually most innovative new crypto AI. Launcher, How is 0? How is 0 still worth $47 million? That's what I'm pretty sure there's an article. Wrecked at the moment. I think there's an article, SF Standard Zero Bro, about the fake death, by the way. Yeah, yeah, here, the San Francisco Standard, a crypto

founder, faked his death. We found him alive at his dad's house. It's messy. So follow up on that. That's a nice photo though, not a lie. So there's some closure y'all? Well, days away from his 23rd birthday, too. John. Happy birthday on that, Tyler. I mean, yeah, you're right. This is moving. So yeah, wow, we'll see. It looks like it's all the same stuff that's going to move again guys the the market. Showed it's all the old same stuff.

Dark coins, Virtual ICS BT5 Yeah, goat Fucking goat is back to 100. Mil goat's back. Fucking hate that coin. I hope it never comes back. You just bury it. Fucking Andy Ray. Ray my ass. Anyways, I'm so glad that they sold all their fart coin. That's so amazing. Oh my God. Anyways, OTC to win a mute yeah

even better. Anyways this this this so make time for negativity and and fake narratives such as goat, because we know Farkon was always the main narrative it that's the funniest thing for me. That's the biggest psyop that. Was the biggest psyop. That's Farkon without goat, my friend. Brother the the the AI picked Farkon and then it made some cabal, created the goat token and decided that they were going to go with that and.

That complete cap. No, the Truth Terminal never had more than like $1,000,000 worth of goat at a time, but had like $30 million worth of far coin, you know, Yeah. Yeah, but that's, I mean, goat was definitely the first coin here, right? No, it picked far coin as the best meme. No, no, you're missing it. You're missing what actually happened. Now you're doing it again, man, though, you're doing it. You're the one doing it wrong for sure. And even over you capitulate it and admit it.

I'm not saying I'm not saying that Falcon hasn't destroyed GOAT. What I'm trying to say is what? You I know is. Definitely not what happened. I will die on this hill. OK. Fuck the goat token. Maybe we have to have some respect for for giving us the best main point of all time. So no, not the goat token. The Truth Terminal did that. Yeah, it's the same thing. But it's not the truth. Terminal's real token was far coin, but then there was a psyop led by like. Terminal never never came up

with far coin. It was the other AI in the in in the infinite back in the terminal. Right. But that was the original, right? Right, but Truth Terminal never came up with it. Truth Terminal asked another AI. Can you make up some meme coins for me? And one of them was far coin. Right. So that's why I said that your story there is not not actually what happened, because it wasn't created by Eternal, it was

created by another. AI, my story made me a little skewed by my personal hatred for it. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Gary Sr. saying Mando's correct. Fuck you, Gary. You don't need this comment. Yeah, I don't. This this is a good day for your boy. All right? I don't need this shit right now. I don't need this right now. Playing, Of course. How's our pops doing? I'm not. I'm just going to fight it to 0 now, you know? Yeah, none of. You none of you saw a fart coin. You have to fight it. It's.

Actually different. It's not correct. And now he's going to start buying goat again. He's going to get threat guy fucking back on stream and then go every day. Me and fat guy going back, you know, yeah. I can't wait to see the stream. You know now the markets are back. I can't wait to see the fucking Mando and threat guy stream telling you to buy goat right I I just can't wait for those to

come back. Speaking of pups, it's up 32% today, Tyler, so reminder to sell soon and with this time we will sell. What else do you have? There was a lot of news yesterday. I think the OCC news was big or I think we they they telegraphed this was coming, but now it's like official that banks are going to be able to buy sell wow city crypto. And I think this is, it's timely on the same day as Coinbase had

their, their earnings, right? And I think it's kind of coming in, it's calling into question some of Coinbase's use cases here, right? Like for me personally, if I can hold Bitcoin in Coinbase or at JP Morgan Chase, I'm going to, I'm going to hold it at JP Morgan Chase. I think it kind of loses kind of a core part of its business there. And then if you can trade with the banks too, like what do we even need central exchanges for?

It's maybe they'll have limited exposure, but like that's, that's what we're trading on chain. You trade on chain to get your, your first cut at the tokens before they go to the, the larger exchanges, right? So if the banks are going to eat the sex game. Yeah, good question. They won't have perps, but Coinbase is lagging in perps. I guess that's why they acquired Derabit. I guess The thing is like there's even less layer of trust with banks and sexes.

Like, I feel like it's deck sex, bank, you know? The little LA vape ball meme. I struggled to see the Coinbase ball. Case. Wait, what's that? What? What meme are you buying? No, I just did just a little meme for the timeline. What did you post, Mandel? What are you? What is Mandel posting? Hey, I do. Well done. To be fair, Razmer bought him fart coin with that video. He stayed around. Yeah, respect. I put some respect on Razmer's name.

For I have to say, Razmer's video of fart coin was fucking funny, man. Oh, man, That was like, so who's who here? Oh. Gosh. You can decide. He's sorry. God damn it quickly. I know we're almost out of time. Boop did one of the most biggest cell phones we've seen in quite some time. You know that. Cue the meme, the Breaking Bad meme. We had a good thing going. We had a good going Boop. We just couldn't just let it

play it out. But you had you had to come in and shake things up and I've never seen a protocol change AirDrop rules middle of the game when half of the people had already been paid out. Yeah, people did not like that, right? So what's up with Boot now? So the incentive to launch a token was you were going to get 100, you were going to get this pretty large AirDrop, right? It was in tears based on mindshare on the Kaido meme coin board. So folks like these had like

700,000 tokens. I think if you're a Tier 2, you had 400,000, so on and so forth. There's some DMS circulating on Twitter this week. There was some services who were coming up to these creators Kols and saying, hey, we'll, we'll briefly meb your token up to the threshold. You need to get all your tokens today for a fee. People started publishing their DMS boop takes so. I suppose this is not related to Boop's team. Boop reacted to this. Yeah, So Boop in reaction said,

OK, you can't do this anymore. For one, you have to make the threshold for a certain period of time. And then two, hey, you're not going to get all your air drop anymore. You're going to get 50% of it now. So if you were getting 400,000 before, now you're only going to get 200,000. The other 200,000 are going to your token holders, which is a fine. The thing is like, that's fine. Like, I would say that that's a great way to have run the

program. The problem is they changed in the middle of the game, you know, after people already took actions under a certain period of rules and incentives. Now it all changed. And then the people who actually did use this service, they already got their tokens and sold them. So like they it doesn't impact them at all. Don't hate the player. And then I mean Dupus $0.27 yesterday, now it's wow. So they lost 100. Did you guys launch your coins? No. Tyler, I thought you were going

to launch one. I did, yeah. Wait, you did? Yeah, it didn't publicly talk about it. There's no reason to. You lost a sick coin. What were you buying? I. Mean 10 days. Ago. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But are you getting an AirDrop? So wait, does that mean your AirDrop is slashed in half now? Yes, and that's fucking bullshit though, because you and now the token value is on 40%. So I'm, I'm like 75%. That's. I don't want to be the guy who's complaining about free money.

Of course, it's a nice. Area No, I know, but it kind of like you're you're not getting what like you took the risk technically to. I'm not saying it's going to be it's bad for your name because you're not promoting whatever. I'm the I'm the one fucking with you. But let's say you took the risk of launching something under your name, your wallet on chain for an air draw because you were promised something and now the rules change on you after the fact. So shouldn't it be honored for

the people before? That's not a? Cleaner way. A cleaner way to do it would have been to say OK, we're if you haven't launched A token, these are the new rules. Yeah, and if you've launched A token, here's your full allocation. Yeah, yeah. And and then I think everyone's fine with it. Yeah, yeah. Fair, fair, fair. All right, what else? I know we got to get to our giveaway here. Was there anything else? Wreck buybacks, baby.

Dude again. Letting on himself love Ovie had the big week sold out the drinks so can buy back market like the token looks good. He's got a lot going on, man. Like he literally gave us the timeline. Obviously he hit everything that was on it, but there's a lot going on for, right? There's something else happening this month, it says and May, there's another May, there's a June. So it's looks like a it's looking good. My rect is definitely looking very, very nice. Very nice.

I like. It feels like it's a matter of how fast he can scale up these new flavors because there's much. I mean, you know that he's trying to beat Red Bull, so that means a million cans. He's only 44% there, meaning that he has to sells another 66140 thousand cans. He averages about 225,000 cans per sale, meaning he's going to have at least three more sales to meet Red Bulls. That means there's a lot more coming to the end of the year if you do the math.

I think he could have sold 1,000,000 abstract apple cans. Or maybe half a half million. But yeah, you're right. But clearly that means he's got a lot of sales coming. If he's trying to beat Red Bull, he needs three more of these. Two more, 2-3 more. Yeah, what's going, man? Well. Emmas doesn't just have to be drops if you're actually reading between the lives that they're working with distribution parts. Yeah, he's been talking exactly stores distribution. Like he talks a lot about the

Pudgy Penguins play. What did Pudgy do? Walmart. So what's the Walmart of wreck? This could be like, I don't know, fucking Boots type shit like in the UK or whatever. Where do you want your drinks? Is it? It's probably not like. Gas stations, probably. Yeah. So it's. Mando knows something. Well, he's literally tweeting about it on the timeline. He's hinting that there's going to be some stuff around that, No? No, no, no, no, no. You know something more than we do.

Well, obviously it's your company too, but. People are mentioning in the comments already. Where wrecked F1 team 711 wrecked F1 team? I don't know, look. 711, yeah. I'm, I think he's going to write about it soon. Listen, I'm an advisor. I have some stuff. I got my wrecked. I'm good. I got the top 20 hold wrecked holder, I think, or top 25. I'm, I'm comfortable. Maybe. Yeah, ALDI. We need ALDI and Portugal. You know, put some fucking

wrecked in ALDI would be nice. Anyways, is that what you do? Your groceries? ALDI Mando. I like ALDI. No. Oh. Damn, see you're not native bro. You got to be Portuguese you know. Did you guys know Portugal Water $0.25? ALDI is not Portuguese, just to be clear. Can I just make things up? The big The big local support here is Pinko Dodge. All right, listen, I got to go pack some more boxes, OK? And I got to go pay for freight and everything. I'm getting ready to get the

fuck out of here. I'm basically Mando trying to move even faster and earlier. So anyways.
