Yo-yo, what up? What up? Good Morning Morning GME Tuesday April 2nd 2024444. Look at that. Another beautiful day to have a beautiful day. Formal hour Episode 89 and I got my Co host in the house. Mando, how are you doing this morning? Good, busy, busy, busy, busy today. The robot order books, huh? Ton of other stuff. Loads of meetings. Yeah, crazy day. Crazy. Crazy. Yeah, I mean the meeting front. Oh, there you go. Let me add you on stage. The meeting side is definitely crazy.

When I go on a trip and I come back, it's like, especially when I'm across the world. So I cancel all my meetings, right, Because I always can't do meetings in Hong Kong. So. So when you're back is I I see my schedule. It's just like it's all blue. No, it's not even white. It's all blue. I have to put in times for me to go like eat so that EV doesn't schedule on top of it. I have to like figure out even Jim. I go, Jim, don't book it anyways. What do we got?

I mean what? What a day, what a day, what a day, what a day. I mean, it was over and it's seemingly not over anymore. Or maybe it is. I don't know. I have so many tabs open. I must have like 15 charts on my screen at the same time. But it was seemingly over. Maybe not, but we'll talk about that cause today on the show. Oh yeah, we're back. We're back. Look at that. We're back today on the show today. I don't even remember which. Hold on, where did I open this tab? Oh, there it is.

I I generally have a lot of tabs open right now. It's it's a lot. It's a lot. Shout out to I like tabs Today on the show, today, today, Daily Market Report, as usual, crypto macro, all that good stuff. Let's talk about The Great Nuke of April 2nd, 2024. This is what happens when everybody making April Fools jokes on the timeline. On April first you get a nuke, on the next day you deserve it. Including myself. It's OK Don't worry, we'll be your fork in like 3 days.

It's just NFTNYC week. It's always like that. And then first dogs. Now cats. Meow. Which cat? Which cat's going to win this race? I mean we saw someone went as far as stalk you think Onsen's family to find that they have a cat and they found the cat's name and then the cats has done more volume than all NFTS in one day wild. I don't own any of that cat. I have every other cat though that one but I never get. So we'll we'll see what's going on that front.

Anyways NFT that's we have meme land. That was not a joke by the way Meme net launching. So you have another meme coin chain launching so shit's about to go crazy Pixelmon releasing anime trailer. So things are still popping on the gaming side. And then today's guest partner. Actually we have a sponsor on the show today. RSS three are going to come and talk to us about what they're doing, what they're building. And last but not least, robot spins.

Now one thing they were, it was really buggy today. And what happened? I could not add any NFTS. Almost. I managed to maybe add 10 red guys and like 5 pudgies. I came out everywhere. We did nothing. So what I did is I upped all the wins. So you have 10% chance to win a red guy. Like there's a lot of chances to win high NFTS. The root boxes are more expensive. So instead of doing 4 or 5K spins, we're going to do three, six and a half $1000 spins.

Same thing. We promised 20K, it'll be 20 K but you have a higher chance of winning. So it could hit big today. Like the cheapest thing in there is a red guy and the floor is at .7. So so you there's a big chance of winning today. Up to odds on everything. And last but not least we do have a new show title sponsor Fairside fairside dot XYZFAIRSIDE dot XYZ Industries trusted crypto theft coverage. You know what that's about. Make sure you get your funds

stolen. Check out fairside dot XYZ top right. You're going to see them on the stream if you're on video with us. And without further ado, without further ado, let's get right into it, because my boy has got to get back to the order books. Yeah. So what is day? We'll actually have 36 hours. Like Bitcoin was at 72 K basically as we went to bed on Sunday and this morning it was at 60, 64. So kind of a wild move, about 1213% move in Bitcoin in 36 hours.

One of the biggest moves we've seen in a long, long time, slightly different than some of the others because this wasn't really a levered wipeout. Like there was quite a bit of leverage, like 300, four, 100 million liquidations, but nothing crazy. This has been more direct selling and two main things that people are pointing to here, firstly is the ETFs again looks like it was another outflow yesterday for the ETF. Grayscale came back and dumped

another 300 million. They they had been slowing down on Thursday and Friday last year. So the idea that there's even more to sell, I think the market took it pretty pretty badly. And the second thing is what's been going on macro which is there was some inflation data on on Friday which is kind of in line, nothing that crazy.

But yesterday we had some what I would say is a second tier piece of American economic data which just showed that the market was slightly was recovering slightly better than expected and rates went a lot higher. So interest rates are at their heart like multi month highs now and a lot of expectations now that the Fed is not going to cut rates three times, only two times. This is all going into Friday, which Friday's going to be the non farm world's day which

should be relatively important. It's maybe that's what's caused the crypto to sell off gold, which you would also assume would sell off with that has is actually at all time highs and it's just hanging out there. So I don't know. I think the market's just trying to maybe find a reason to sell off that sort of moving rate we haven't really cared about. In fact, crypto has barely cared about macro for a while now.

Like this last time I've really brought up something significant for a while and people just think are just pointing for reasons. I think yesterday was a low volume day in many markets were closed and crypto is one of the only ones that was open. So up until the US open it still felt like it was one of the highest beta assets to kind of punt around at all hours for a lot of people.

So I think it was it was partly that we have as soon as the US opened we rebounded about well nearly two grand now on Bitcoin. So not all amount but yeah as soon as the US opened we've we've rebounded slightly stocks are still down today and it's on that now as if I was just talking about.

But just yeah, interesting people are definitely pointing to this and I do think that if the market will use it and then it will be. So people will now be looking forward to Friday to see what this inflation, sorry this, this jobs data will be. I'm of the view that this is nothing crazy like two rate cuts versus 3 is not. It's not the end of the world and the US economy is still

doing good. It's still growing like 3 to 4% a year and inflation may be ticking like marginally higher, but we're not talking about anything crazy. And even then like some if you go to like true inflation for example, it shows inflation going lower. So we're not in a world where we're going to see crazy levels inflation. But it I think it just points to how sensitive Bitcoin and crypto is becoming. This is the most volatile crypto has been for many, many months

like many, many months. This up down 12% in 36 hours like that never happened kind of throughout 2023, right, Like we had periods of it doing nothing for just is is. That due to the fact that there's just so much more volume and activity coming into the Bitcoin, but also the price of it, like you'd figure at four, at 15 to 25 K, it's harder to have this volatility. But now, yeah or or no, is that I think? You can have volatility at any

any price. In fact, normally bigger assets have at least or less volatile, right like. Right. The price of Apple stock doesn't move as much as a penny stock, for example. So this has surprised me at the level of volatility that we've started to see come back into the market, particularly in some of the majors, right, Like Ethereum basically just dropped. Similarly like 20% or 15%. Solana went from 2O5TO175 in the space of hours like these are now 100 million dollar, $100

billion. Sorry. So it has surprised me particularly because leverage has not been that high like it's not been a situation as in the direction of leverage hasn't been that high. Open interest is still high across the board, but. People were just dejeting on memes rather. Than leverage actually. So, so a lot of the the high risk bits of the market have not been in in lever trading, which is when you get those Wicks down you see these big moves. So this has definitely been right.

Like what the Hell's going on? Because this isn't just a levered Wick take out. This is like people freaking out over something I have. A question. Yeah. I saw I read somewhere that there was a ton of like shorts that were going to get completely wrecked at 7275 K range for Bitcoin. Could that be correlated to like they trying to like hammer Bitcoin? Because it seems like do you think I guess my question is everything's down on Bitcoin

being down. Not everything's down because the market was frothy or anything, clearly because it doesn't seem it was froth. I know people like to say the meme core mania is froth, but I think it's just people in training space gambling on shit. But like, this is all like a Bitcoin wipeout that's wiping the rest of the market, no? Do you think this? This market did not look particularly frothy to me on Sunday night. Right. I mean, the new stuff is separate. There are times when it is.

There are times when it does feel like that when leverage is really high and funding is very high. But actually it didn't seem like that. In fact, you saw some very healthy metrics coming through in terms of like number of addresses and everything had felt OK. So this definitely felt as though the market got spooked yesterday and on a low volume, the volumes were not high yesterday across the market like it was because of the the the general holiday.

So this and then going into today, I just think asked that that that economic data yesterday people are now getting more worried about inflation. I don't know what to say. Like this does feel slightly different than some of the other sell offs in that this is more sustained right. Like this isn't just a oh we've wicked down because everyone was like 100 X levered on Bitcoin and and how we fell the Wick.

This this has happened over the course of multiple hours and each each bounce has just been smashed lower. So I think I think it was both of those things. It will be interesting to see how today develops. I did buy Solano, bought some doge just on this move. Yesterday and this morning, but not the majors. Yeah, that's one of my favorite memes. I'm I I was buying majors yeah. But I it's if you take a step back the way the market is just set up, Bitcoin just hit a lower

high, right. So it remember it's hit 74 K roughly went down to whatever it was 606061 K and then we've gone back up but we haven't quite hit that last high. So we've gone back up and we've stopped out around 70K and now we've gone back down. Now it's interesting to see if we hit a lower low, you know if we go down to like 58 K or 50, you know or high 50s, that would be probably a bearish sign because that would indicate that the market is now trending

slightly lower. If we kind of bounce here, you know, or bounce higher than and where that last low was, so 60K, let's say we bounce around. Here. Right 62. This one on the hour, on the day. Oh, let me pull out the day chart. It's easier. So yeah, it. Doesn't, I mean I'm just speaking in general like 61 K looks like was where we kind of

we bounced. So if we bounce, if we hit a higher low now it would indicate that we're going to go into like a channel, right, of lower, lower highs, higher lows and we'll just, we'll be in this channel for a little bit. And that would normally be considered like a period of you know, consolidation or or maybe even accumulation. I suspect that's what we're about to go into.

We're like we haven't got enough strength to breakthrough the all time high and we're not bearish enough to smash through the most recent low. So we probably could hang out here for a little bit, which you know that was a proper fake breakout from Sunday, Sunday when we were at 71 1/2. It really felt like we were about to smash this all time high again and now it feels like we could be in this channel for

a while. You know, we've been in this channel now for a month that's that indicates that, you know, we're probably going to hang out here for a for a little bit longer, you know, got the halving in 20 days. I'd be unsurprised if we stayed in this channel now for for the next 20 days. It's funny. I, I, I and I think a lot of people have said that we'd be ranging in the in this high 60s, low 70s up to the halving.

I I've I've personally heard this from a lot of people across the board of course like there was like at some point you're like oh it's going up so how you think you're going to hit that 100K mark but but really like I think we even on the show you guys always said that we're going to probably look at towards the upwards but towards the halving we're going to be similar you know I I don't mind I think going to the halving at like 69 K like previous all time high is not that bad either

right. No, no, but it's it's it's just something to be wary of like this is a market where and it felt like that. Do you remember? I mean, I don't even know if we get new listings on the show, but like we were doing this show when Bitcoin was ranging between 25 to 30 K and we have a. Lot of new listeners, yeah. And you know, every time you thought you should buy that breakout, you got smashed slower.

And every time you got overly garish and you know all the shorts are on the timeline telling you you're going to like, you know, 10K you were meant to buy it. It does feel like this is the sort of period where you have to trade your own emotions slightly.

So I'd be very, very wary of getting overly bullish at something on this market if we're like 5% from all time high and I would be, I would be bullish if everyone's getting bearish at the you know if we go down to like 61 K because that feels like a good risk reward trade to me so and again. That's mostly for the folks that you know kind of trade like you, right. Like a lot of people trade like leverage would not like this. Like if you're just spot even in the. Spot right.

Like people we're up a lot. Like I'll be very wary of of just fade your own emotions each each day. That's what I would say. Like if you woke up on Sunday and felt like you needed to own every single meme point, every single, every single major levered, like you don't have to attack me. Like that your own. Warnings. That's your own warning signal, I think. On the show, in public. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

I'm kidding, yeah. From from November to wherever it was a month ago, you should have when you've got that feeling of like, right, everything's going hard, you should have bought literally everything. You probably, you would have made a lot, lot of money, you know, and this market is now telling you twice. We've had two times. That's happened that you shouldn't be feeling like that, so just be. No, that makes a lot of sense. That makes a lot of sense.

We'll see where that takes us. But look, it looks like on the back of this, we're now Solana went down to what, 175 Solana, that was Solana, you're talking volatility on, on, on, on on Bitcoin. I mean, Solana has been like volatile as fuck. Like, that's been crazy from that one, really. Solana move less or moves around the same. Actually, it it's because it's bigger numbers, right? It wants 205 to 175. What is that 175 over 205? Yeah, let's. Get it? Here I I have it.

That is a. Yeah, 14% move nearly and then Bitcoin move from, you know, literally the same. Look at it literally the same. So Etherium is the. Biggest Loser over 24 hours. Yes, etherium's been underperforming like that ratio against Bitcoin has gone lower and. Everything else. But I think the the thing that got a lot of people is that everyone was mega bullish on Solana at 200.

You know it felt like it was it was going to smash through very easily because of the amount of activity that was going on, on chain and that really kind of brings you down to earth, same thing like whiff, right? Whiff whiff went from 4.6 down to 3.6 and is now down at 4 like the volatility is who knows what on WIF. Though who knows what? Because I mean, even OV pinged us because OV is not because he's travelling, but he's like, yo, this thing's back to $4.00.

There's something going. Somebody knows something? Did buy some of that with with I just. I took it off just as we went live on the show.

Oh, you were? Long that's that's I mean you're you're playing on a different level dude logging and sorting like the I I'm just spot I'm comfy in the spot I was actually trying to get I was hoping with CV even like 3335 on the way so I could keep buying I mean I accumulated before leaving to Hong Kong large size around 2/5 to 2/8 so I bought a 28 and then all the way down to two five and then traveled came back it was nearly 2X. I'm pretty happy and when I saw

I see that four is our new resistance. Resistance here, I'm, I'm pretty comfy like I I'm not trying to get out of I mean. I agree. I would say that out of all the charts out there, whiff is the most scary if we do go lower because like it is. Look bring up every. Single chart and they've had this like double consolidation period for the last month. Whiff has not consolidated, it's just gone higher, it's just gone

higher. I mean there's no like, oh, we've hung out around this area a little bit. So it's about. Here, here. It didn't hear. It didn't hear right there for. For a very short period, but like look at look at everything else. March. 10 All 10 Seven days. Seven days. You're right. You're right. Let me let me pull up the Daily Ongo if it makes more sense even. Like every other major meme coin has done that. Like look at Doge, look at, look at Pepe, look at, look for

higher. Same for even our base meme coins like D Gen. higher. I mean, look at D Gen. I mean, let's look at DJ in right now, 'cause that was one of the big narrative going on base right now. It's that what 15 could retrace there. My biggest scare on the base coins is that ETH is not performing so well. But The thing is if and when, and I'll say when, 'cause I'm one of those people that it's going to put out there. The DTF gets approved. ETH ribs, base coins go fucking crazy.

Actually, I was saying OV yesterday, Mando, I I think when you laugh, we were talking a little bit about it. I think I'm going to take the bet on polymarkets. It's five to one, $1000 size. We've lost more in that gambling. Like, you know what I mean? Like it could be a fun shot, but I I kind of like it. I think, I think we're going to get it.

Surprisingly. I think it's going to be one of those things like I love that the market is like considering that it's not happening and so ETH is just like hovering at these price points and underperforming everything else. I think that it would be surprising to people. I know board Elon is here. Probably musiced his ears here we we doubled down on the bet. You know the bet I lost to him that ETH would hit 4K before Solana. Funny because then ETH hit the shit and then so I went to 200.

But then we doubled down. So now the bet is he wanted to bet ETH 8K before 400 soul. So I doubled down on the bet. That's a. Good bet, yeah. So I had to take that, right? Because I already paid him out his half an ETH. And so I doubled down on the bet with him. And he's a good sport. He was like, fuck it, right? Like it's an it's. So he was a good sport about it and like, let's let's just go again. Maybe. Maybe they won't even get there till the next cycle, guys.

Maybe you'll be here in in. We we said we we said $1000 coin on the show. What now you got in 400? God damn it man. Though shitting on my parade I'm not as. Delicious as OSF over Keith, This is a. Super exciting. I'm kidding. Anyways, the other thing that's that's trending on in this world and I just saw this. Sims. Wow. I just saw this. This is glorious. Today's show This is today's show graphic. It just went live 4 minutes ago. Amanda, let me ask you something. Cats or dogs?

Do you prefer cat like IRL? Do you prefer cats or you prefer dogs? Dogs for sure. You're a dog guy. I'm a dog guy. Now in Crypto Cats or dogs? I think that's that's obvious as well. Yeah, I I do think, you know, crypto is this thing for like, cats. Like, look, I like frogs the most. I like my frog. I like my Pepe. My red Pepe is my favorite. I have my Pepe shoes, you know, I like my dogs. I like my dog with the hat on. But you know, I'm confused now, You know, I love my mug, but

there's so many cats. Do we like the cats or what? So let's talk about this Onsen thing. So yesterday someone right, launched this Hobbs coin, which apparently is the name of Onsim, or his family's cat. Yeah. And that ran to what it was. Nearly 100 million at one stage across all chains. Yeah, it did more volume than the NFT market that just it tells you where the the volume is right now like it's it's kind of wild like over the last 24 hours I'm. Trying to. Find this coin.

Actually look at it. Look. At the screen. This is it. 65,000,000 say the volume there, yeah. There is $128 million volume on Dex Tools here on Dex Creator. Sorry. That's wild. So yeah, that is just, it just tells you the state of thing. I mean the AFT market is, you know, riding with the punches at the moment. People obviously encapsulated pretty well with us every day the other day. It's definitely not taking part really in the activities so far in this crypto cycle.

That is not to say NFTS are not revolutionary tech and will you know, continue to be a big bit of it. But the speculation bit of this cycle has bypassed NFTSI think largely a lot of NFTS except the ordinal space. Yeah, we we talked about this yesterday a little bit. We're just mentioning that you know it is what it is like you have even. It's funny because there's a clip that went on the raw radio page about thread guy talking. He was compared to Azuki, but was compared to board apes

yesterday. It's like you have 30K in this market. You're seeing tweets every day from Luke on chain saying this trader made 20 million from $200. Obviously people are going to go and like try and hit a hit a 1X2X. So it's like you're seeing on the short term, you don't see Apes and the global NFC market going higher, but you do see moon coins and other coins going higher, even if it's spots.

Remember last year, literally, I was making a point that like, it's even safer to move on to just ETH itself versus NFTS. And what happened? Like ETH doubled. I did that early on. I managed to scrape, I was selling NFTS lost. But you scraped like 550 to 100 ETH and you know that's that's up versus most NFTS. So that helped out. So you don't even have to go and gamble your life into meme coins just by majors, right?

So it is what it is actually. Penguins were the outlier this week with a pump to 13 plus with the Forbes article some sort of a retrace at 1168. And then of course like the biggest narrative in all NFTS is ordinals right now. And actually with the having coming up Mando runestones like runes. Sorry runes, because runestone is one of them. Runestone RSIC, Rune Pops, which is, I'm turbo bullish on that 'cause I got one per puppet, so I have a lot of runes. Rune Pops, I'm super hyped about

that one. RSIC. I've mined over 1,000,000 tokens so far. We'll see what happens there. Like, I don't know, I, I, I, I'm very excited about that. Obviously Leonidas is the CEO of ordinals. You know, like you that with his Runestone project you have, you know, Casey Rodemore just pumping the shit out of it. Like there's this new narrative. We saw what happened with BRC 20s. Mando, you were bullish on BRC 20s.

I'm pretty sure you still are like on the Bitcoin eco, like you were like screaming about it on the show months ago. Runes is just another great narrative for Bitcoin and you literally have, you literally have that coming up. So that's about it. On that front, I think this is a good all around. Like Chad and the other news that came out yesterday, I do want to mention it, but we don't have anything else on. That was, you know, plan.

It was not April Fools because it came out at 8:00 PM and in Hong Kong that's 8:00 AM. So introduce a Meme net, the Meme Network. Meme Net is a blockchain that offers a safe, low cost, season friendly way to build on chains. So it looks like the Meme Land team is going to launch their own meme blockchain. Yep. I mean they maybe they pushed this forward because of what to what's been happening in D Gen. of course so recently, right.

Like as an L3 meme land, I believe it wants to be at L2, right? Rather than L3. But yeah, just not surprising to me. What a. Great website completely. Makes sense that they would try and do this. I don't know why it's what I would say is I don't know why they as now maybe they have the culture. There's nothing technologically wise, technology wise, that they

should be the chain to do memes. So maybe they're just going to like have the culture for it and maybe on board a bunch of different people, I don't really know. But like maybe they'll do it native on the site. Like, I don't. Have you ever tried that pump dot fun? I have never tried. I'm obviously very well aware of it, but I've personally never what. Do you bring up on the on the channel, right? Though is it going to be insane stuff showing up? Maybe.

But that's just, that's just on it anyway, OK. Just a heads up, that doesn't mean we're part of any of these things. So this is. How? Like the majority of new coins are being created at the moment. So you're telling me? Every time this shakes, it's a new coin being created. Yeah, pretty much. And like they have a king of the hill, so anyone type and basically what it is, is you someone starts a coin and it's, it's funded and part of it goes

into an LP which is burnt. So we could create a coin right now. Yeah like we we if you could we have we have to the the dev gets the decision whether he wants to fund it and and then we you know a bunch of people come in no don't don't do this and and if it reaches I think if it reaches a market cap over 75 grand it launches because it's. The pool, it gets locked and then. So if the pool goes over a certain level, I think it's 75 grand the coin launches. Could I imagine Meme Land doing

something like this? Maybe, yeah. I mean, I like how you know, he was, Ray Chan was talking about how like, you know, memes are PvP, like porn and people are addicted. So he made the meme that kind of like the Pornhub logo. And then I just think the website is brilliant. Though again, like on the branding, they're good at this stuff, like this is a really good website. I think it's really cool. It looks good. We'll see. I love that. Let's go four.

Oh my God, this is so good, man. I personally don't get meme coins, but they do have a large number of users. CZ binds with the four coming up like that. Like you're popping out and you're just CZ just pop it out. Hey, this is great. Vitalic meme corn holders. Be like, Oh my God, Brian Armstrong on there. SBF do quad man. That's good. This is this is great content. Anyways, look, I think that was

a good roundup. We do have RSS Three in the studio here and we do have to do some robot spins right after that. It looks like, look, if you're if you're if you're in the space, just and you're if you're if you're if you're stable. Just just hang tight, you know.

Seems like things are OK. They're not great, but you know, it seems like we could be bouncing on some places and we could maybe not also bouncing on some other places, but Bitcoin's about 65-8, Mando. 3280 by. Doge, I mean, you you do have someone here asking you to break down MFR. How? How are you doing on MFR right now? How is MFR? What MFR. I reduce some a lot more higher one. 18 on MFR and higher is that dude higher on Forecaster
