HOW TO INVEST IN CRYPTOCURRENCY & BITCOIN

youtube y'all can hear us now look good let me let the team in i'm gonna let the team man let's do it let's do it let me pull the mic up let the team come in they're about to get the this week man no sleep to brooklyn we've been non-stop man market mondays dj envy packed up the studio yesterday of course the legendary garyvee on the podcast and today we're going to give you some legendary information man my man justin cryptocurrency the hottest thing out right now on your leisure man it's what we had for what's going on just i see you i'ma let you in two seconds bro yeah this is something that we definitely um thought it was fitting depending uh the time is right right now there's so much news coming out about bitcoin ethereum nfts um non-fungible tokens it's crazy like you know mark cuban talked about that i think garyvee spoke about that um a lot of that stuff is built on the blockchain all of it is built on the blockchain a lot of it's built on ethereum platform so you know we understand that you know there's so much stuff that we have to cover it's bigger than just stocks on market mondays like you know i mean like earning alicia is a smorgasbord of information everything every aspect of um finance is what we cover and that's everything everything and of course we got we have to cover cryptocurrency so we spoke about it a few times but we thought it'd be good to just do a real real deep dive and the purpose of these is to really educate people and started to you know where everybody's at catch them where you catch you where you at and uh take the time to really just you know grow and all learn together yeah that's what we have for it's a beautiful thing even during the research for it it was like having flashbacks of those times in 2017 where there was really no no sleep for real doing 24 hour shifts and reading white papers and so we're going to let you out inside of the process um some of the stuff that we learned and we're still learning like the nft thing was a new conversation for us but it was like exciting because all right we have to go find something new to learn um so we're gonna let y'all in and uh hopefully we'll open your eyes to some things that you didn't know and hopefully you leave from this conversation uh knowing more than you did before you got here and so you can take it back you know i you know the only the only fee is go tell somebody else go teach somebody else what you want yeah a lot of people thought a lot of people may not know our history i know we got a lot of new um people that have come aboard so shout out to everybody that's a new earner but you got to understand that um you know we have actually been in crypto for years we was in crypto in 2017. early 2017. so this is really nothing new to us um we were in crypto years and uh we stayed at least i stayed home i'm still there i'm still there kept officers finally came back yeah we haven't really talked about it too much because it wasn't really you know it wasn't the buzz of the town um stocks became something that everybody wanted to know about so you know we rode the wave and you know we we we are not uh we don't discriminate so no one trick pony yeah but we're not new to cryptocurrency we spent hours hour hours in my in my apartment mapping out strategies getting nano ledgers figuring out how to move coins figuring out privacy coins remember the master node masternodes um now we've been doing this for years like years like we literally stayed up to three o'clock in the morning that's when i first learned about the whole pump and dump way before gamestop um seeing it every single day in crypto watching crypto watching all coins bitcoin this is something that we've been doing for years so yeah i'm still paying for the masternode so like if that's a more advanced conversation in the crypto space but the masternode just generates coins that's all you do you're mining coins in a sense all day and then every you know a few hours you just make sure that your screen's not sleeping because if your screen goes to sleep then that slows down the process so imagine that every few hours you're waking up to move your mouth so just keep it on and let the electricity just run up so yeah yeah it's a it's a different game um but i'm glad that we played in it because now we got some knowledge in it so we're going we're going we're going we're going to get right to it let's get the bro on the boy wonder himself let's get him on and um what's going on boss how y'all feeling good brother what's going on with you everything is good everything's good how y'all doing good man platinum plaques on the wall and all that you know it's look look like a r b singer record his demo right look at this there we go i look better now ah there we go the chairman himself there he goes they find them in the streets is it frozen or is it working i think you're frozen you just you just froze you was good before but then you just froze just now okay something happened all right let's i'll just go back to this camera all right what's up brothers they asking if you want to sign them to a regular record deal right you look like you're the a r motown records right now by l records how you gonna do it how y'all doing we great man we're great good man good man nah justin's a good good great dude man um i'll give the quick introduction if anybody hasn't watched this podcast you're doing yourself a tremendous disservice what episode was it troy episode justin is 118 i believe 118. let's just verify that let me check um but justin we met justin a while ago um in atlanta you know we spent a lot of time in atlanta and um you know he's friends with our friends circle of ceo so all of those guys a good friend of ours alex good energy mr two weeks out nehemiah davis him 500. the whole crew um shout out to gooch shout out to everybody out there jeremy anderson and um 119. one night 119 episode 119 and justin was just a good dude man he just met us super humble and was just you know just giving us game like telling us about you know what he was doing with forex and um cryptocurrency and trading and we realized that we had a lot of synergy because you know obviously everybody knows like you know we're heavy in stocks and uh you know a lot of the charts that he was explaining to us that he was using for 4x and crypto was the same charts that we use for um stocks and you know it's it's all it's all kind of the same language so justin extremely extremely successful he looks like he's 12 years old but he's he's extremely he's in vet in the game season that in the game extremely knowledgeable great communicator and just overall just a really good dude man so when we wanted to do the crypto and uh forex episode he was the first person that we call and we got it done in atlanta and then you know i realized that there's so much information about cryptocurrency you know there's still a lot of people that don't really know and there's nothing to be ashamed of like this is why we're here to give people the information like you know sometimes people just hear so much stuff and they feel like it's too advanced for them or it's already too far for them to actually get in but um no no man no woman shall be left behind man we can't have anyone on the show no no we hear that we had to save everybody so i'm not sure what happened i think uh can y'all still hear me yeah yeah yeah you just went out you're good you're good we can see you too yeah you're good you're good y'all can still hear me okay i don't know what happened to sound but you know you're good oh there we go there we go all right there you go uh what was the thing you asked last i'm sorry no no i didn't introduce you yet okay my bad okay i just saw y'all chilling okay what happened no no no no no not good we about to get we about to get into it um so yeah i'm not going to talk too long i'm gonna let justin take the stage but first i just want to let people know what this is so if you're new so we have uil university eyeliner university is the biggest the strongest online community education in the world period when it comes to business so you know we look at it like we have a public school we have private schools so ewl university is our private school so with ewl university it's like the podcast on steroids it's an extension of what we do every day for free on youtube on instagram and with our podcast but uil university we actually just you know some people just you know you need your hand held you just need a community around you so with eyeliner university we do a class every single wednesday every single wednesday we do a class on a different topic whether it's credit whether it's stocks whether it's real estate today's uh cryptocurrency and it's a zoom class so the presenters presents for about a half an hour then we open it up for questions and answers and it's like a real classroom um we do that every single wednesday so right now we have archived over 100 classes um and then also at uio university shout out to mg the mortgage guy he put together the home buyers blueprint which is over 14 hours of everything you need to know to buy a home from a to z like if you think about it buying a home is the most important thing that most people do and there's no blueprint for it so he provided a blueprint for it um from a to z and that's part of it uh we do monthly financial planning calls with me i'm a financial advisor if you didn't know that that's part of it we have a facebook group but over 5000 people in the facebook group um that's lit that's private that's part of it we have a movie club which troy heads up yeah um and then we have real estate calls every every two weeks we have real estate calls so yeah we built the whole community with ohio universities we forget to add what all the earners always tell me troy you got to talk about the accountability teams oh yeah so we got it we got to highlight the accountability teams which have been amazing right so a lot of times we share our goals uh with our family members and they frown upon it because they don't really understand the envision they don't really understand what is to be an entrepreneur i have that type of spirit and so with our accountability teams have become just you sharing your goals with people who have a common mind and a common thought process and so that has grown i mean i remember we started with like 37 people and it's well over 100 maybe over 200 people now so shout out to everybody that's part of the the triads or i know there's a group of five now and um so that's is incredible and this saturday we got orientation so yeah yeah we gotta buy your attention so so yeah so it's a whole vibe yeah and um we actually have 10 employees now we have two full-time employees for ewl university eight for earning leisure so it's a business too we employ people and it's running like a real institution um which but the difference is that it's extremely affordable all of that would i just named for 500.75 or 500 for the entire year so um we have to raise the price because we have employees and we have overheads so the price is going to get raised in three days um but until then we have that so what we do at every wednesday the last wednesday of the month we open it up we know how we don't hide what we do we show it to the world so the last wednesday of the month we do open enrollment which is an open university open ewi university class so everybody can see it and if you're interested in joining you can join um if not you get free information so today's class is on is on cryptocurrency bitcoin and everything you need to know i'll put the link to eyl university in the uh chat it's uh ewy university.com no promo code needed 75 off right now um and yeah you know invest in your education if you're interested so without further ado justin um i'll give you the floor my brother yeah listen i appreciate you all you all having me i'm over here listening i'm like man 500 that's it you know like that's you know i don't even know people that's on here y'all understand the value that's in there like i don't you couldn't probably pay them five hundred dollars to sit down one-on-one uh but have access to them you know what they've been able to do you know congratulations you guys moving into the number one spot man that's big for your your podcast and you know i said it to you guys in person and i'll say it again but everything that you guys have sown you know the last few years is i mean you're talking about decades of blessings that's coming your way so you know i know not only i'm i'm appreciative of what you guys have been able to build but there are thousands of lives that will continue to be changed and literally uh melees around the world that'll be able to live their lifestyle because of the things you guys teach so appreciate you guys appreciate you appreciate your brother absolutely hey josh do you need me to give you uh the ability to share a screen or make you a host um yeah you can um i'll pull up some things uh but a lot of it you know i'll be i'll be kind of just sharing some things on my uh my camera and and talking uh and just sharing some notes uh just kind of some of the things that we were talking about uh because tonight's call is is really you know about uh digital currency uh you know a lot of people call it crypto uh but it's a lot of them are now so i i i wanted to uh you know really share with you guys some things that i've been able to do over the last you know four uh four and a half years that i've been uh trading crypto and digital currency um i think one of the first things people ask like yo how do i start because there's so many places to start you know me and uh rashad were texting us last night about nfts i was up till about 4 30 you know playing around with things i'm like after i did the last interview uh one of my buddies text me um and he was like oh you said that your sound went out sound went out nah no oh now you're good now you're good you're good now good good good um yeah and i said one of my buddies uh had hit me up about uh uh nfts and so i was studying that and so you know the the the uh the spaces continue to grow and evolve and you know as we continue to grow the ball you got to just jump into it and so you know i think the best place for a new prayer oh damn they don't want him to be josh josh justin i don't want you to be your sound's going in and out you might want to use the other camera angle that you had before yeah maybe you might maybe that camera angle is different oh they froze them in the matrix yeah it's always an issue with zoom man yeah i'm not sure i can see y'all i don't know what's going on like i can see y'all in here y'all can't hear me yeah we can hear you now but it's going in and out did you switch camera angle like you you might want to use the other camera angle that you had before um i could try it yeah oh you know you know what else you can do just if you go to your volume settings and just make it uh from your your desktop or your laptop let that be audio okay let me let me try that let me let me try this yeah sometimes if the mic is too powerful yeah uh sometimes it throws the computer off a little bit okay is this any better is it working any better yeah yeah yeah you know okay all right good deal um so it's a couple platforms uh that i think a good uh it's a good place to start uh coinbase they have two of them right uh coinbase the regular one is the easiest one to navigate for like a new person so you literally can download that uh and then it's another one that i've been using uh yeah you won you went back out again you went back out again bro um yeah i don't know what you would put your name i'm trying this camera yeah yeah yeah use that use that use that link i don't look as good but let's just see you know it feels like it's like right over my face but uh yeah so i i use uh coinbase i use exodus and literally you just go to the site uh you can go to your phone and you open up an account it's literally that simple most of them have um a verification that you have to go through taking pictures uploading your id uh front and back and then you have to go through the process of getting verified uh so it's very very simple um a lot of people ask me how to protect your coins this is actually one of the one of the ledgers that i actually use flashback yep yeah you guys can see it here right the ledger uh nano s there's i think there's three or four of them that they actually offer right now um but i use the ledger nano s it's very simple to use it's like a little usb um that you can uh you can plug into your computer and to me is one of the safest places to keep it um exodus also has a wallet that's pretty secure it's very similar to have similar things that they put together but very easy to use um if you decide to get one of these okay make sure you go to ledger like their actual website i think it's like ledger.com right let me just double check uh i believe it's like ledger.com though make sure you go there because there's some that are like on amazon and other places that are cheaper but what's happening is people are setting these up and then they're stealing people though so you know there's always scammers that come around so i would just make sure you go to the place especially with your crypto if you're gonna be holding a lot you know if you're only going to have a little bit you can actually keep it into a coin base but obviously you know you have people that that steal that as well and so um you know i i would say definitely get some type of uh a wallet or something to be able to protect it so let's let's let's let's let's unpack that a little bit because that's something that we we had to learn when we first started so for people um i want to i don't want to go over anybody's head we want to make sure everybody gets the information so we we know it because we're in this space but a while it um for people that may not be aware of is that's where you're actually storing your cryptocurrency um and correct me if i'm wrong justin the reason why you're storing it on the wallet is because it can be compromised if it's on a site um you know it can be stolen a lot of different things can be happening and the reason why you said don't get it off amazon is because people can program it where you actually when you put it in and they actually can read it and they can they can steal your cryptocurrency correct yeah so kind of what happens is that you load it's preloaded already right because when you get to the nano ledger there's all types of passwords right so if i've already purchased one and i'm reselling it which is really what's happening i resell it but i've already put the codes in by the time you transfer your money to the wallet i lock you out take the money and now it's gone and that's why we try to take it off well one of the reasons we take it off of of these platforms like finance or something like that is because they're not regulated right so like if you lose your money there's nobody to call yeah there's nobody there's nobody to call and really you know because i have people saying man that's scary i'm like but it's the same thing as if it happened you know if you was walking on the street with a whole bunch of money in your pocket there's only so much you could do you know what i'm saying because it's just that's what it is but this allows you to not only it doesn't just have to be here too like as long as you've got your passcodes and stuff like that you can still access it and it's something that's like literally yours so it is scary you know from a sense especially if you got a lot of currency crypto out there but you know i i've had friends that literally took their cell phone to apple or took it to t-mobile and got their phone back and crypto was gone well let's let's let's talk about that too because we have a friend shout out to i don't even say his name we have a friend that um and i told him not to do this yeah so on binance it was a two-way authentication google two-way authentication and uh i said look bro before you before you get a new phone take the google authentication off of it because when you get a new phone it might not carry over and he didn't do that and he got a new phone and he and he's locked out of his finance account now because the old google authentication is not it's not on his thing anymore he didn't upload to it ah that is a nightmare that's and especially if it's a lot of money on there but you know that's that's really one of the things that you know you kind of learn so i hope you all are taking notes on that stuff too because it's like you know there's a lot of security and then you know sometimes it's too much security that you can't even get back into it if there's a problem you know and so um you know you keep stuff in safe places um they tell you how to secure it uh once you get it and where not to put stuff and we're not to save it uh because this continues to go on you know i think you're you're just exposed when you're unaware and i think that's what the power of this this platform is once you start aware once you're aware of it like you don't think oh i'm gonna take my phone here and change this how i can impact you later um so that's something that's really really important uh and yeah there there are some tokens that you can uh you can still uh state uh on the ledger uh there's some that you can stake in other wallets and if you you know for those y'all just asking about staking is like uh you literally just let your crypto sit and it earns you know percentage by you just holding it um and so you know i've i have some coins that state uh some of them even stake on coinbase um and then some of them stake on the ledger and there's other couple other places that you can actually just let your crypto uh sit there and it'll earn more of that particular crypto uh just to actually that was something that was real interesting to me when i jumped in this basis like there's some coins that yeah it's kind of like um a harvest where you plant the seed and then you actually grow more coins by just holding those coins like you might grow like you know two coins a day by holding a coin and obviously by doing that you're actually making more coins which in theory you'll be making more money because you'll have more of those coins and all you got to do is actually just hold them that's kind of what the masternode was doing the masternode yeah the masternode is masternode still around these days i don't even know bro i haven't i haven't i've even heard about them in a while i haven't heard anybody talk about they may you know they may still but i'm not i'm not even i don't even know that much about it so so for those of y'all not familiar with a masternode what it was is like you buy pretty much a coin that stakes and it is every it depends on which coin it is every hour it just makes five so you just do that for a day or you can imagine how many coins you get but a lot of times it's extremely expensive because number one the electricity bill that that causes uh the the power needed to do that and it's almost like mining it costs you a lot of money like cost you a lot of money to do it i can see why people would stop doing it because the amount that it costs and a lot of times it's so volatile that you might be staking the coins and you could have a thousand coins but if that coin depreciates it's worth nothing now you've just been staking for no reason and a lot of these coins that's why we wanted to have there's so much stuff to talk about but cryptocurrency there's over a thousand coins yeah but a lot of the coins are worthless they're not really they're not really they don't have no they serve no purpose and this happened during the crash in 2017 2018 and a lot of those altcoins a lot of those master notes went down 99 we got them yeah still in a while that's how i say i got something that's that's not worth a dime but you know and and i think you know that's that's one of the things that you know like a coin market cap is is is helpful for me this got so much data in there it can help you understand how to uh you know look up you know different currencies it'll tell you know you know how many currencies there are because literally it's like thousands of them now you know the same way that you have a whole bunch of penny stocks that pop up i mean there's there's digital currencies that popped up and because it's kind of like the wild west and it definitely was in 2017 2018 it was a wild west a lot of people uh kind of got taken advantage of uh but uh uh uh coin market cap is a is a good place to tell you like how many there are you'll be surprised how many they are you know one of the things i try to look at when i'm researching them is like what utility does it serve like what's the purpose of that particular uh currency um it's also going to tell you how much volume a day uh is coming in um and how big the entire market is uh because the market has really grown uh when i first started talking about it was like you know the entire market of digital currency was growing towards a trillion dollars and then this weekend when bitcoin hit you know 58 000 obviously it's retraced now uh but when it hit uh you know 58 000 you know just bitcoin itself uh had a had a trillion dollar market cap and so that was really uh important uh to to really track and keep keep track of and then it really organizes them based on how how big they are so right now obviously you're gonna see that you know bitcoins at the top so basically you get you know coinmarketcap helps you with some research and helps you identify potential opportunities that you want to look you know to see how big a coin is oh you went out you went out again they while you're doing that and because a lot of people have to question the difference between a coin because we see keep saying coin but there are our tokens as well and so that's a tricky distinction and so to to make some clarity or put some clarity on it a coin is something that's native to its own blockchain so when you hear bitcoin it has its own blockchain when you get litecoin it has its own blockchain when you have binance coin it has its own blockchain so that's its own traction of history really pretty much the blockchain is just the history of transactions and so those coins have their own histories of transactions when you hear the word token and with that that comes up a lot that is something that is built on another blockchain and so the most popular one is probably ethereum most people know ethereum and they hear it a lot so a lot of tokens are built upon that or neo which was something that we thought we were going to make a lot of money only like this is the next ethereum and so when when tokens are built on somebody else's blockchain like ethereum or neo though that's that's when they get the title so there's a few examples of tokens chain link uh ave which is what uh mark cuban was talking to us about aave uh tether which is almost like a stable coin it kind of mirrors the us dollar those are all built on somebody else's platform bittorrent which was uh part of tron which is yeah which i lost some money on i tried to get shot again but another one it originally was built on ethereum and ended up creating its own blockchain so now tron has a blockchain and bittorrent on top of that and so that's the difference between the the two you have coins and you have tokens now a lot a lot a lot of these things that are on coin market cap that are listed a lot of them are tokens a lot of them are built on ethereum because it's a platform made to have things built on top of it that's what makes it a lot different from bitcoin because we only want to call it a currency right so ethereum's like the platform you're building on top of uh bitcoin is is almost like what would you like i said i think like uh the way i try to explain it is like the the coin is kind of like you know like the highway you know what i'm saying is like all right i mean uh the uh yeah the coin is is the highway and then the token is the thing that runs on top of it like the cars that's on top of it so you know like ethereum is the is the highway but then you've got things like cardona and a lot of the b5 projects and stuff that are really coming out even even a lot of the nfts that are running right now on top of ethereum so that that's what's really got me interested in that i'm like okay you know what i'm i'm gonna get more aggressive personally i'm not i'm not making any recommendations but i mean there's so many things that are now we're going to be running on top of ethereum and being built off of it it's like man it only makes sense it's really a deal you know right now and this is like this is one of the things a few things were um really intriguing the reason why i really started getting into um crypto years ago is looking at so anybody if you're interested in crypto you should definitely go to that website coin uh market cap market but yeah somebody just put it in the chat coinmarketcap.com it's a great resource and um when my friend shout out to jason he told me about crypto this was in 2016. and at that time it was i forgot how much the market cap was but it was like 500 billion or something like that it was small so that might sound like a lot and even right now it's at 1.5 trillion that might sound like a lot of money but you have to realize apple as a company has a market cap of over a trillion dollars so you have one company who almost has the market cap of the whole entire crypto space so that would be like apple being as big as the whole entire stock market the reason why that that's encouraging to investors people like me is because that that goes to show you how much more room it is to grow is is it's still at its infancy stages like 1.5 trillion dollars is a lot of money but that's not really a lot of money in the world of finance right so that's something that's very interesting to me so when i saw that i understood that okay this still has a lot more room to grow um because it's not even it would be like a big company on the stock market like the whole thing would just be like a big company on the stock market yeah that's a great way to put it too um i never even looked at it like that but i mean that's that's that's that's a big deal and i'm glad you i'm glad you put it like that because i have a lot of people that hit me up and i'm sure they talk to you guys too but it's like they feel like they're so late like i'm late to the part i'm like nah listen guys you're you're early you know like a lot of the companies are just now getting involved you know like you know like tesla and i'm sure he was invested before then but you know tesla just bought it and you know square bought a few years ago they bought some more uh you know yesterday and so like it's just now starting and i think one of the things you we have to avoid is you know is is feeling like we miss it and so now we don't even dive into it we don't start learning it i was talking to one of my uh friends yesterday and she was i just feel like i missed it with bitcoin i'm like well you know it's it's it's grown right but at the same time you don't have to buy a whole bitcoin you know you can buy a fraction of it like you're going you're going on coinbase some people don't even know that i mean something that's simple but it's a big deal because you feel like man it's i think it's you know i don't even know what it is today 50 something thousand i know what pullback might be in the 40s now yeah 49 i'm gonna give you the lives i'm gonna give you the live check in in two seconds thanks i'll check myself too but you don't have to buy you can you could buy a thousand dollars worth of bitcoin and it's going to give you that particular fraction of a coin or really any other coin that's out there you could you know eat like let's say like uh i know ethereum earlier today was like 1600 well you don't have to buy a coin if you get sixteen hundred dollars you could buy six one coin or you can say hey man i got five hundred dollars let me put 250 into you know uh into bitcoin let me put another 250 into ethereum or whatever you want to do so you can get a fraction of it but guess what that fraction still grows at the same percentage points as if you would have bought uh the whole coin based on the dollar amount that you put in so you know that's one of those things that was encouraging to me too because you know that allowed me in a person really all of us to start where we were instead of wishing that i had you know fifty thousand dollars or sixty thousand dollars or whatever the case may be to get in some of these coins uh that that are a little bit on the high side uh but then you've got coins that are you know less than less than a dollar and some that are just a few dollars that you can you can take part in too so it really just kind of depends on where your confidence is when it comes to trading yeah i always say that that was the original fractional shares i had no idea what fractional shares were before we got into the cryptocurrency space right because it was like i i have a hundred dollars i'll buy a light coin but litecoin was 260 by the time i got to it so i got a piece of it and after i realized what that was when i started hearing about people talking about it in the market i'm like oh wait i heard about that in in the crypto space first right and i just want to add to something you said about building on top of something and so um this is interesting because if you look at coin market cap right now the number three coin is binary and so if if you're in this space you know that binance is like probably the number one exchange internationally international internationally for for uh cryptocurrency and so what they've done is brilliant right they charge a fifa every time somebody purchases on the platform so if everybody's rushing into this space what happens to binance coin i watched it go from 12 to almost 300 i think was 315 last week just because of all of the hysteria surrounding the space people are trying to get in people are using binance as a platform so it would be like if i got if if we were trading in the s p and every time that you traded an s p they were making money well they are but they were making money you can invest in that it's very similar a very similar thing so when people start looking you got to look at the space and treat it just like how you would treat the market there are some very very distinct similarities yeah and um the binance coin is into like jamal he's talking about finance coin forever he's been trying to get me to buy binance coin for the last two years and it's crazy because um like troy said a lot of times in america this is this is some this is a gym right here but a lot of times in america we get caught up in just our country what's going on in our country and finance is kind of like dead right now in america but the vast majority of crypto uses outside of america and i learned that when i went to asia i went to asia for 30 years for 30 days um three years ago and i that's what really opened my eyes to crypto too because you know they was i was in singapore and i felt like i was 30 years in the future like you know it's good to travel and you you go to a lot of these countries and you realize how far how far we are behind in technology and advancements and um cryptocurrency is something that is huge um in asia and all over like you know i'm saying it's not just an american thing so a lot of times we just look at like coinbase is great if you are trying to start in cryptocurrency it's probably the easiest platform and it's probably the safest because it's american it's easy it's on you it's on your phone you can just go to coinbase get the app and start investing that's real simple that's real easy but the reason why the binance coin is taken off like that because they really have the market cornered outside of america and it's the biggest platform so it's like investing you know if you if you watch the nba and it's like if the nba had like an actual where you could invest in a whole league like like a league pass you know what i'm saying like in order to get in there you actually have to invest in there so they're they're the equivalent of a fidelity or td ameritrade um that's how you can kind of buy that one yeah and then they get real tricky because when you go on the platform if you don't have the the currency pairs you got to trade for finance yeah and so that's another level to it right like you you you you get your money you train it for from coinbase but you send it to binance and then if you try to if you don't have the right trading partner because that's key if you don't have the right trading partner you can't make the trade and so what they've done was say okay well if you don't have the right trading partner you can exchange it for binance coin and now that becomes an automatic trading partner for anything for bitcoin ethereum uh bitcoin cash all of them and so again you're using the platform but now you're also using their coin see how that works yeah it does it's smart too man and that's i'm paying attention to even coinbase because you know they're trying to get you know on the new york stock exchange as well so that'll be an interesting uh play uh as that continues to unroll but uh you know to y'all's point america is really behind on the crypto game and i think a lot of it's because they're trying to figure out how to regulate it how to tax it how to make their money off of it you know um um but it's i i realize you know even with xrp because it's going through you know whatever's going through with the uh i think it's ftc or sec whatever it is and uh and um you know the the owner was basically like hey listen you know we want to be in america but you know america is only 10 of you know our operations anyway we just wanted to be located in america but if america can't figure this out we'll just go to another country and we'll continue to operate um our business as it is and so it's just it's just continue to get educated and like you said what i've learned is you know is i can't get too emotional about one particular coin because you know you can get set on one like yo this is the one everybody should buy this and then there's other ones that are making equal moves in the market sometimes even bigger moves and if you're just looking at one uh one particular one it's really hard to uh to really uh take take advantage of a lot of things that's happening in the market um another thing and i i didn't mention this when i talked about uh another platform that you can actually trade it on is you know you can actually trade it some people don't know this on the foreign exchange market so you can trade you know the the bitcoin versus the us dollar and ethereum uh versus you know bitcoin and other things and with that why that's useful is like let's say like over the weekend uh bitcoin went to you know 58 000 a coin well then it had a big retracement so what happens is as a trader in the market you can enter you know a point zero one lot size or standard lot size or whatever you want to enter on a sale and as and as it's doing this pullback you're able to make money on that sale coming back down until you want to get back in and buy and so what's been really cool is you start understanding the dynamics in the market you're able to really start making money uh going up and on the moves going down so you you open up like there's an app called metatrader4 um some people use metatrader5 it doesn't really matter uh but you know you get a get a 4x broker that allows you to trade uh crypto um there's a few out there a kot4x um my brain just went blank but that's a really good one for you to use um i don't even know if trader's way allows you to do it anymore but there's a few out there that allow you to trade cryptocurrency pairs just look it up uh you can research them and then and then then you're able to catch these moves like when xrp uh you know took that hit you know a lot of us entered on the sale and we made money on the way down and so i've had people that you know started accounts with a couple hundred dollars and were able to capitalize this weekend on the big moves up on buys but also on the sales coming back down so it's a lot of ways for you to get in here and really trade and capitalize on the moves that are happening yeah and some some people are like hey i try to join finance and they won't let me this is true right if you're a new trader to uh the the space um there are some regulations and binance doesn't always let americans join the platform so some people are saying troy well let's get a vpn and so for those who are not familiar with a vpn a vpn is a virtual private network and so what that does is it allows you to appear someplace that you're not and so if i'm in new york city and i want to trade on binance but i know that americans aren't allowed to join i'll get a vpn right a virtual private network and it'll ask me where does i want to have my location ping from and so your location can ping from anywhere you could say that i'm in rio de janeiro and be sitting in your house and now when the network sees that you're in rio de janeiro you're no longer on a united states network now you can join finance and so there's so many different ways to get around it that's why i said it's a it's a lot in this space um so we're trying to go as slow as possible we're not telling anybody to rush and um as far as platinum platforms i know binance is is probably the biggest one internationally but um as far as ratings etoro just i'm not even i actually did some research on etoro um and it's very similar to some of the brokerages that we use here in stock market uh so they offer demo account training and they allow you to pay-per-trade which i had never seen in this space so that's something that's new um and they have like 15 currencies so i know a lot of the platforms don't have all the currencies which is why we try to go to to finance which has so many if not most of them where like as a coin base you might only get a selection of 12 or um on robin hood you might get like um so etero is a good site for that coinbase obviously these are the top five platforms uh coin mama uh gemini which is the winklevoss twins who who are famous for uh having facebook and um now that i mean they've made millions in facebook and they're making probably billions crypto space and then q coin remember cute coin yeah q coin is another one so those are like the top five platforms but the most familiar ones obviously are coinbase but etoro is a nice one because you can do paper trading and you don't have to put your money in right away and get familiar with the space before you do it yeah absolutely i think the only thing robin hood they have it um the only thing i don't like about it is you don't really what i noticed i bought some bitcoin in there but you don't really own it because you can't send it anywhere you can either only buy or sell it so that's what's been interesting to me i don't know if you guys even noticed that but i you know most of the wallets you buy and you can you have the address you can send it to in robinhood it doesn't seem like it allows you to do that i could be missing something but when i looked you can either only buy or sell which kind of took away some of the functionality of the purpose of bitcoin i want to ask you about so one of the things that you know i pay attention to everything and uh you know we talk about the stock market a lot and the stock market is playing a major part and legitimizing bitcoin one of the reasons i think why bitcoin is going up um so even when you see coinbase going public you know that's a that's an encouraging sign like they're here to stay they're not it's not just going to go away when you see all of these companies pouring millions and billions of dollars into a square um tesla 1.5 billion in the bitcoin but now you can actually um there's a there's a bitcoin gbtc which actually trades trades on the on the stock market and this is something that's interesting so can you talk about that because some people still are a little nervous about this wallet the nano ledger coin base let's go back to the stock you can actually still get exposure to bitcoin on the stock market can you talk about that yeah absolutely you know that's that's the place i i i trade it a lot you know you can open up an e-trade account amir trade account and there's a there's a stock there's a fund uh it's called gbtc it's the grayscale a bitcoin uh trust and uh it's really cool because a few years ago you had to be like uh um what do you call that uh where your your net worth that's your credit accredited you had to be an accredited investor even take part in it so it wasn't even really for people that made less than a quarter million dollars a year and had assets things of that nature and so now they've opened it up and so now you know you can take part into bitcoin because it follows it really closely uh how it moves so you know bitcoin let's say i said you know 49 000 the gbtc is probably going to be somewhere around 46 to 49 somewhere in there so it's going to move as the market moves and it's been the i believe it's even split a few times that's why it's even so inexpensive because it used to be more than that and so now that's another way you can get into the market and so what i do is i like however much i have a gptc i just divide it by you know how much bitcoin is now that tells me how many coins that would be equivalent to and then there you don't have to really worry about somebody stealing your wallet and you know somebody taking your bitcoin they have another fund that follows ethereum i'm not really a fan of it yet it's okay e-t-h-e um but it doesn't follow it quite as good as gbtc um follows it but what i what i do believe is great scale um they're they're one of the best ones doing it now but i think there uh there's gonna be other competitors that start entering the marketplace that give us really good moves in the market uh based on based on what's happening so that's a great place to do it um you open an account you fund it uh how you buy it though is different as well you can't just do like a market uh like uh like a buy like just buy at the market price when you buy it you have to place a limit order and so whenever you guys go in there and actually do it you'll go to buy gbtc and then it's going to say uh like place order type and then you got a few of them and then just go to limit and then to limit it's going to give you a price and i believe it's the uh the bid price asking price whatever size whatever numbers yeah as justin goes out we'll we'll we'll cover i think it's the wi-fi that happened to us before the wi-fi is a little um shaky probably where he's at so he cuts in and out but if anybody's like i said you watch market mondays you know about index funds and that's how i kind of look at the uh gbtc where it tracks um bitcoin like you know the s p 500 tracks the 500 companies and that's in the s p and um it just mirrors that so like you said for you know for some people that are still nervous or you know don't feel 100 comfortable with the security and no regulations and stuff like that that cryptocurrency has you can you know have exposure and something that tracks um bitcoin on the stock market if you're familiar with the stock market if you already have a brokerage account and um you know as you get more comfortable with that then you can transition over to actually buying physical bitcoin if you're interested in it can we give them something else can i give them something yeah all right so i know obviously we love indexes but we love what we love more even more than indexes are etfs and so i looked at etfs because i was like this blockchain thing is moving and it's not going anywhere we say that every almost every week and so i i did my research and i found this etf blok block and so it is an etf that has a bunch of companies that are using blockchain technology microstrategy which is you said there's a bunch of companies that are buying into the space so microstrategy is obviously the number one holding riot which i actually had a conversation me and wall street chapel were talking about right and he was trying to get into riot and i was like trap there's this etf that has right inside of it and so again b-l-o-k block i see people are typing in yeah it's an etf that that that tracks the follows the blockchain and so that's another way to get into the space without having the golden coinbase actually expose yourself into a singular position in the cryptocurrency space um so yeah it's right now it's at 54. um it's fairly new i look if you look inside the holdings gbtc is inside of there as well square is inside there as well paypal is inside there as well and so this is just another option for you justin's like wait troy tell me about this definitely i'm like okay it's good we can just go to the next club that's the next goal but yeah it it it's something to definitely look into but it's another way to get into the space without again exposing yourself to a singular position yeah so you back on so we i want to go to some questions but before that um what's your thoughts on uh xrp xrp had a lot of had a lot of bad news um about a month ago month and a half two months ago so um ripple uh if anybody's not familiar xrp is the coin um so what's your what's your thoughts on xrp yeah my thoughts are i i think i think they're going to fix it you know whether they settle uh with the government um i think because because xrp and ripple they they've got too many people that used to work even with the the entity that's suing them now i think it'll work out um with them i'm still holding them um and you can still buy it on some exchanges you just can't buy it like on coinbase primarily because uh they are they're you know they're trying to go public on the new york stock exchange a lot of people have kind of let them go but the reason i feel that it will get worked out is because crypto has to get worked out in america and so you know all of the coins in are are really watching every everybody's really watching what's happening with this case because this is really going to set the foundation for how crypto is established and how it's handled and a lot of the regulations that come along with it uh in america so i think i think it'll be fine as soon as as soon as it's solved i believe it'll continue to go uh because it was you know when bitcoin hit is high at you know 19 000 some changes so i'm gonna give my my personal holdings you back on josh i'm gonna get my personal holdings and i want just to give his opinion on it um this is my portfolio my crypto portfolio and this is from top to bottom bitcoin ethereum cardano yeah xrp litecoin stellar tron and neo that's how he was listening to me i still hold it i like it i like it bro i like it how you feel about that i like it i like all of them um xrp is good cardano has been really good one of my buddies riyad he had put me on to that that one's really good um polka dot the po you know that that seriously is real serious chain link has been really good xlm was a really good deal man it went down last year like three cents is low and you know it's almost caught uh xrp is right there they're like 10 cents apart i think so i think all of those are good holdings for the long term and you know they're going to continue to grow over time and so i i i would say yeah bro just continue to to fund it you know and either grow it i think that's another thing i think a lot of people need to understand is what a lot of this stuff how we've been able to get a lot is it's not like we just put a lot into the market in one day you know typically that's not what people do it's just over time you're continuing to buy it and so you know you just figure out how much you want to invest and i would i wouldn't suggest like your whole portfolio be crypto because it's very volatile and so if you can't if you can't uh take the swings that you're gonna get with it uh it can be challenging um but yeah i love i love those bro um my my personal philosophy is 50 of my portfolio i want it to be in bitcoin and then the other 50 i i diversify between all coins and then as some of those make profit i'll i'll move it into bitcoin because that's that's that's brand a so those are that's always going to be around you know it's going to be safe you know from from a store store value standpoint is going to be really good uh but then now i'm not i'm not hanging out the ledge with 100 of my crypto you know on some of these all coins because as as quickly as they go up uh they can go down and so you know that's you know like we saw it with ripple you know it had hit you know 90 cents and then you know within a couple weeks after that it dropped down to 20 cents and then now it's back up into the 50s and so yeah i love those i love that we were there once upon a time when ripple was three dollars and 24 cents yeah i mean did you buy or you wrote it up we rode the xrp train to the moon i got my average my my average my average um price of bitcoin that i purchased is at 7 000. so uh my i got i got xrp when it was 30 cents and um we wrote it up to three dollars and some change yeah we we also did some privacy coins so we wrote it all the way back down yeah yeah yeah we we're loyal we're loyal hey they said we're gonna keep going it was a pullback you know sometimes you don't know you know it would it what level of a fibonacci would have been like a 81 percent fibonacci level so it's poised that hey whenever it goes up it's go it's going to it's going to go whenever that happens but i you know like like i said i mean i think i think a lot of this stuff is going to continue to to uh to fill out and grow um and i think we what we got to do is really start paying attention you know it's just regular people just start paying attention to some of the bigger moves because like yesterday when everybody was freaking out these companies are going in the market and buying you know and it's like you can't you can't you can't you can't be you know clamming up when this stuff happens in the market because it was funny somebody posted the other day oh i bet people aren't going to post their portfolios today i'm like yeah of course because if you want to have big days you got to be able to take the the losses too i've had days where it's like me like whoo you got to check your heart you know like man this is all right this is this is okay but but if you can start understanding like okay cool it's pulling back you know bitcoin i know if you if you feel really confident about the coin that you're investing into or the token or whatever and you believe it has some good value on those pullbacks that's when i get back in and continue to accumulate more so i can have it for the long term so you know i because i have friends that bought it you know last year but they didn't continue to buy and that's what i was saying is like just make sure as you're getting these getting into crypto don't just buy it one time just you know uh uh like uh rashad just said you said your average cost is seven thousand so that means you bought some low and then you also bought some high but your average you know cost is you know 7 000 a coin which is great based on based on where it's at you know that's true that's that's that's very true uh just we we'd be remiss if we didn't ask about dogecoin i mean it was a joke and then like everybody had it in their stories and like listen i'm just telling you don't say i didn't tell you to get it it's about to go to the moon and i'm like well we've been here before y'all can you talk about that you know for me i i uh i didn't really get into it like that i i put a couple hundred dollars in it just because it was i mean somebody gonna keep talking about it i'll ride a little bit but i don't there's when i look at what i said you know when it comes to digital currency as a whole i like to see you like what utility does it serve what problem does it solve and if it doesn't solve a problem i don't i don't personally care who's talking about it it's got to do something otherwise i'm at a i'm a i'm at a high risk because i'm buying because somebody said bye but i have no idea when to get out because i didn't i didn't look at the coin they didn't have any value really at this point i'm not saying that it can't in the future but as of today for me personally um i just don't see it you know but it's kind of like gamestop you know like fundamentally their business is a little different like it doesn't look like it's going to be good but then look then it goes up you know freaking 100 today so you know the market has been interesting um but for me personally i didn't i didn't get into it um a lot of my friends didn't get into it as well we've been in the space for a while um but you know hey for people that make money on it i would say listen get it get it while you can but for me personally i looked at it just because you know everybody was talking about it but i mean i i just got to stay away because i it doesn't serve a person you tell me something starts as a joke and if they haven't changed it being a joke i can't invest a lot of money into it no that's a fact we're going to open it up to questions but before that before that i want to just say like you know um i believe in ethereum i'm very bullish on ethereum i just actually purchased some ethereum a while back um in bitcoin i'm i'm real bullish on bitcoin but still a majority of my investments in the stock market i would say probably ten percent of my portfolio was in crypto so i'm not you know i'm i'm i'm i believe in cryptocurrency i'm a crypto enthusiast but i'm not just you know doing something just just jumping full fledge so i say that to say invest whatever you feel but that's what my personal is ten percent and i feel like um what garyvee said when he talked to us about nfts and he said do 100 hours of research do 100 hours of research no matter how much information you get in an hour or two you got to do a hundred hours of research never invest in anything that you don't fully understand and there's a lot of resources but just just understand it like like you said don't just invest in something because elon musk tweets it you know what i'm saying like that's not really an investment strategy you can make money but you can get lucky and make money there's a difference between making money being lucky and making money because you actually are investing in sound fundamentals so it's no different from the stock market as far as that is concerned um just you know be careful know what you're investing in and never look at any investment as like a get rich quick scenario because that's when you lose money when you just do things out of emotion that's like gambling yeah so that's just that's just a question you know we just have to be responsible we have a platform um which is a great big platform we're thankful for that but you know we just have to be responsible and just you know we don't want to lead people to the slaughterhouse you just want to provide information information responsibly and that's one of the good things with the eye university so after like this is ongoing and the education is not just like one person coming and teaching you the education is you teaching yourself so now we have infinity groups inside of ewl university and i believe there's a crypto group that's starting where people are going to go to clubs yeah yeah it's going to be clubs inside of iwan university so now it's a stock club it's a it's a crypto club it's a real estate club uil junior club yeah for sure so um so yeah so the crypto club are a crypto enthusiast inside of the community that's going to get together and they're going to learn and they're going to teach each other and that's the really the best way about it it's like yeah you know experts and and you know youtube and videos are good but the best way is peer-to-peer and we earning alicia is a perfect example of that like we literally have taught ourselves the vast majority of the stuff that we learned and there's power in numbers this is why our group chat i forgot to mention that too that's also we do once a month we do group chat calls for eye university the group chat is extremely powerful because it's like the power of five minds is way more powerful than one mind so if if you might know something i don't know i might know something that you don't know he might know something that neither one of us knows so if we can come together and actually build on that your learning curve grows exponentially yes yes and um that's something that's extremely important so we just want to encourage people that before we go to the question answers to education is not stopped at one place it's continuous and it's always good to mastermind and have groups there's power and numbers so um we're going to go to to question so if anybody that just joined um once again this is the eyl university class open to the public every the last wednesday of every month we do these classes so we do these classes every single wednesday at eight o'clock eastern standard time but the last wednesday of the month is open to the public and it's just like an insight to eyl university and we do these classes on every topic that you can think of entrepreneurship real estate how to read stock charts all kinds of life insurance disability insurance and it's every wednesday and it's archived so if you miss it you can just go on the website and check it out so this is for people that you know want more interactive it's a community we have over 5000 people on facebook we do group chat calls where we go over our personal portfolios i do financial planning calls um mg the mortgage guys home buyers blueprint is in there with over 14 hours of real estate everything you need to know about how to buy a home real estate um and then we have a movie club we have a book club and we have a facebook private group so it's not an investment club it's not a stock club it's a all-around finance institution um which is geared towards people that you know want to build a community learn and um just you know want that extra push outside of the all of the free information that we give on the podcast and youtube and instagram every single day so uil like i said we we um open it up to the public you know you can see and um at the end of this we do question and answers so that's what's different to us like it's a real class where we you know we talk and then we get you know questions and answers and it's engagement and um yeah we do it every single week so if you're interested i'm gonna put the link in um and all that's 500 for the whole entire year so um you can go to eyluniversity.com right now if you're interested we do have to raise the price as i said we are proud that we have 10 employees now two on the eyel university side um shout out to janet janet was uh making a nice salary at fidelity and we took over um black woman from rhode island we took over she works at ewy university we gave her a 401k package we gave her benefits health insurance um and she's on and we we we beat fidelities on what they was paying us so these are things that we got started talking about yeah that's the whole super's done you know that to me that's one of the proudest moments is like fidelity is a multi-billion dollar corporation and here we are two years in and we took one of their brightest stars and um it's not like she's doing us a favor like we we matched what she was getting kept the 401k all of that so you know we're handling real business this is a real institution it's not like you know something that we just put together we're extremely proud of it and we think eyo university we know ewy university is going to be the biggest just like earning a legion is the biggest podcast eye university is gonna be the biggest online learning institution bigger than the university of phoenix anything that you can think of and um for a penny for a penny of the price i mean check out chat right here every time we say we're the biggest it's all about that's what we're doing we're growing group economics giving people opportunities so yeah um so yeah if you're interested ewinguniversity.com i'll put the link in and um yeah the price is going to go up on friday but we're not just raising the price for no reason it's already 500 but like i said as we grow we have overhead yeah and um but i mean it's still it's five hundred dollars for the whole entire year like wait that's not even a junior college you can't even go to junior college for that so um and wait this really quickly our newest high is a special one and we're gonna have to document it it's a special hire personally for me and rashad as well um and when we write the story when y'all see the story about it it'll make a perfect sense but i see some people are asking about nfts and where to buy them and so i'm gonna give you two sites um because they will pass on to me so i'm gonna pass it on to y'all wearable.com rareable.com that is r a r i b l e dot com um that is one place and then nifty getaway nifty getaway n i n-i-f-t-y g-a-t-e w-a-y dot com janet i will send it to you and then i guess you can put it in the chat for us so those are two places that you can look and explore the world of nfts yes so yes let's let's get some questions if we can um yeah let's do it uh i just i just put i put it in the youtube chat if anybody's interested but um yes let's get some questions for some earners and uh where we're getting the questions bro i just want to say like you said like man y'all make sure you invest into yourself that's like we're talking about crypto and stocks and all that stuff but the best investment you can ever make is into yourself so when they're talking about like 500 dollars y'all you only need a little bit of education to get that 500 back and more like you you get on one conversation with these gentlemen you can already tell they're smart they're intelligent and if you're what i always think about is if you're getting all this knowledge and information for free imagine what you get for when you pay for it right and when you're really a part of the community uh because what happens is anybody that's that's working with somebody or teaching somebody is when they see you investing to you they want to put more into you and so you know you guys are just interested in for something special so i you know i i i'm not on the platform like that but i just want to say it because it's so important bro that you you have to you have to invest into yourself as much as you want to invest into bitcoin and eth and all this other stuff you got to get that knowledge yourself so you can learn how to do this and and catch these moves into the market because it's not going to happen i think a lot of people they're looking for somebody to just tell them hey do this go make some money but no you got to put in the time energy effort to learn it but man once you learn it you become free that's a 1 000 percent appreciate that brother all right let's go to our questions noah you've been unmuted i'll mute yourself what's up so what's up hello yeah we hear you what's going on brother oh in regards to the hardware crypto wallets i know you guys talk about ledger what's your opinions on the treasurer or trus treasurer one i haven't seen the treasure one bro to be honest with you um once i once i got this one and it worked for me i just stuck with it like i knew how to use it yeah he went out again the wi-fi is crazy um the nano legend that's the one that we got introduced to and that's the one that we used uh and i think i believe that's the uh the standard yeah so i never try to i never try to go lower than standard and um i think the nano ledger is has you know been the standard for years now so yeah it got too confusing because a lot of these coins have their own individual wallets and so to try to remember the passwords for all of them it was just too much so like ethereum has its own wallet neo would have his own while bitcoin has its own while the bitcoin cash may have its own wallet instead of having seven different websites the nano ledger just became the more simplified version to keep them all together in one simple place the problem is a lot of people it's just like a usb right you if i tell you to find the usb that you had three years ago it'd be tough for you to find it and so a lot of people lose their usbs and so i would recommend not to treat the nano ledger like a normal usb i would get a safe for it safe deposits get a safe deposit box for it because we're talking about millions uh well thousands at first but then hopefully millions of dollars that could potentially be lost if you lose that thing and you don't want to be that guy who lost 68 million no no no safe safe deposit box yeah thank you keep the numbers keep the passcodes on it you know keep that stuff safe because all of that is necessary if anything happens so yeah definitely just how many questions did you have to answer on that one i know when we did it was like a series of 20 questions that we had to answer to even unlock it is it was it the same for you yeah thank you thank you okay i can hear you can you hear me yeah we did yeah yeah it was true it was like 20 something questions and you got to you know you got all these passcodes and i got them in different places so yeah you got to go through a lot for sure yeah all right let's see what we got aleister i'm mute yourself you've been unmuted what's going on hey what's going on what's going on um crypto club yeah crypto club crypto club man shout out to everybody that joined the last meeting you know we had a deep dive on d5 and you know people got a lot of good information out of it so i'm glad and we got the next one coming up march 5th but we're going to be talking about nfts we're going to do a deep dive on that one but um hold the weight let's go into that so you're the leader i didn't even know that you're the leader you're the leader of of the crypto club for ui university yeah yeah i'm one of the leaders along with uh daniel and mika so we put on the last event so um yeah we got another one coming up march 5th march 5th that's right so what's the next what's the next one on next one is going to be on nft so we're going to dive deep into the industry itself and we're going to look at some of the platforms we're going to look at wearable open c and d top shot um we're also going to talk about how artists are making money with nfts right now and we're also going to walk through the process of how to create an nft so you know check into that that's going to be strong what time i don't even know that that's that's crazy we were talking about the infinity groups and he's the head of the actual infinity group and a university is judged by the people that go there like it's not really judged by the professors is judged like when you look at harvard you look at the people that have went to harvard you look at howard university you look at the people that have went to howard university so a university is only as good as the students so to see this is extremely encouraging where it's like we have a structured program but the actual people inside of the university going above and beyond and creating a community within a community um that's that's dope brother but what what's your question bro yeah for sure um so i have a question because i'm coming more from the techs out of it so when i look at a cryptocurrency i like to look at the code the white paper and learn more about the trading side of it so i just wanted to ask when you do it when you're doing trades do you look at some of the on-chain metrics in like when you do your trades or like some of these cryptos or is it just the regular technical analysis of the charts yeah i i look at the technical analysis of the charts um a lot of the times at the beginning it was very hard because it wasn't it wasn't a lot of data like is everything was up but now that a lot of these coins have had ups and some pullbacks you know bitcoin is a little bit different now because it's it's really hot so you gotta get it's not a lot of moves but i look at the analysis just like we like i do it in regular foreign exchange as of as of now just looking at the pullbacks in the market and and seeing where price is being respected at certain points uh with it so yeah i look at that bro and then you know on the on the forex side when i do trade it when it breaks those those love that are you talking about to spit a ball they take them out we're gonna go back you said uh talk about a couple of things that you said you said fibonacci what was a few um technical analysis that you use even for the forex forex side as well troy what's some of your technical analysis that you use i'm still using so i use the the moving averages y'all know i'm big on that um obviously i use the biology bands and it was it's interesting because when we were doing uh the charts with francis uh two weeks ago he actually pulled bitcoin up and we and we and we got anybody here and ethereum and we got to see it and it's kind of funny because we were looking at it like wait this might be a good buy time so the moving averages is still something that we do i'm studying candles right now i'm actually getting tutored right now from francis and um i'm learning from ian as well so like every day like when i tell you i'll do your homework do your homework i'm doing my homework too because i'm trying to learn so i used to just do the line graph and now i'm like doing the hollow candles and i'm doing the full candles and so i'm learning it and now it applies like i said once you learn one medium it just shifts to the next and so now i can look at um a bitcoin i can go to coin market cap and look at the chart and say all right this might be a good time to get in here there's a pullback on the way what's the moving averages so yeah that's what i said once you study one medium it always trans it's transferrable to the next one the bollinger bands is extremely extreme if you don't learn anything else from anything that we ever do you might want to you might want to look into learning bollinger bands because that's something that's extremely extremely useful not just in stocks but really anything um so yeah the bollinger bands is extremely extremely extremely important yeah and then i i as my last thing and it's funny that they were saying this too i use my rsi right so i just want to see the the relative strength of the position that i'm about to get into whether it's being overbought oversold and then after that after i've done all my research i'll say all right i'll make a decision yeah they said the link i fixed the link i pinned the link is fixed on that josh you back yeah i think i'm back man i i i just put it on my watch it's your wi-fi it happened to us it happened to us before we've been through it all yeah like so yeah it's all good you know and i just moved to so this is i'm on the fourth level so it's i think it's i think i got to get like one of those experiences was that a slight stunt that was the fourth level it's true bro it is it's all the four of loves i got to get like a wi-fi extender or something i mean we i only live in a ranch-style home there's only one level man it's all good man whenever you go out we got you we got your back bro but yeah that's happened to us before with the wi-fi um but you know it's it's it's it's a live show so if your issues happen but um it's all good man we're gonna get the information out regardless alistair appreciate you uh everybody's asking what what time on uh the fifth uh march 5th at 8 p.m march 5th at 8 pm appreciate it that's gonna be a big one all right appreciate you i'm interested in helping like i said i've been up on this stuff my buddy uh rob put me on to it i actually bought some stuff last night just kind of playing around and that's why i think you got it like y'all got to study and get into it i actually lost some money on one of the things i was buying because i didn't know about the fees right so like it was like the cost of uh one of the nfts that i was one of the things i was buying but the fees was more it was almost like the whole cost of what i was buying so i already i'm glad i don't get like a couple hundred dollars with it so that's why it's like it's really important to study this stuff get into it like you said the hundred hours really studying and uh and then jumping in and and getting into it so yeah those guys i see somebody put in the chat those gas fees and so it's really it determines how long it takes for the transaction to happen so we were in that that the space when you bought bitcoin you sent money and two hours later you're wondering did it go through did it go through did it go through like four hours later did it go through did it go through but that's how like and that was one of the things when i was looking into bitcoin i'm like this is a great and it's the number one coin it'll probably always stay that way but from a functionality standpoint there's going to be something that's going to be better because everybody gets to see the predecessor and now say i'm going to improve on it and so then you that's where you come up with a manero is like all right hey they don't have the best privacy let's create this coin or their transaction speed is very slow let's find a way to improve it and so that that comes with being the leader in the space people get to see the mistakes and say i'm going to improve on it yeah and that's really why i like ripple man because it's like man the fees are really small money's sent really quick so you know i'm hoping they get it figured out because what it serves and it's really it's really brilliant what they put together so hopefully they get it figured out i'm gonna go to that class on march 5th because i want to learn about nfts myself so i'm i'm going i'm going to be a student in there all right i'm going to try this one uh is that martelly martella you been on muted i'll mute yourself if i said it wrong i apologize in advance oh tia tia what's up you been unmuted aren't you i am great i had you on muted first but okay let's go there what's going on first of all congratulations you guys you so deserve it i love seeing the number one spot it's just so well observed everybody's just trying over there yes so my questions real quick um back in 2017 part of my little toddler um there's a thing about um mining bitcoin it was a big deal in all this equipment and things of that nature is that still profitable does it even work and have you ever tried it that's my question all good questions yeah josh you want to start yeah all good questions um so mining is cool because you know it was a way for you to get coin without actually spending money for it like you just get the equipment and you know then they had um things that you could buy to have somebody mine it for you um the thing is like it's really expensive like really expensive um at this point um and the electricity needed to run it is uh like the fees and stuff associated so is it still a thing yes definitely still a thing i think i think for me personally i'm kind of more interested into um what we were talking about before where you're getting um staking staking is so much easier because i just got to find a coin that has a good percentage rate on staking let it sit there and i just get it's really the same concept except for i'm not having to pay all of these extra fees and stuff like that so you find a coin that has good staking or wallet that allows you to stake that coin in there and then you can still earn that particular coin right and then a lot of these a lot of these wallets you can actually still convert it to other currencies so in my opinion that would probably be a better alternative nowadays versus just mining yeah so we we've never tried to mine the coin although we're very familiar with it because of what justice just said the amount of electricity that would take you could actually give electricity to a small town um we actually met somebody a few weeks ago that has a mining facility and that was another part it it takes certain climates for you to even do it and so not only do you have to buy the computers to mine it but you also have to have cooling conditions like huge huge uh air conditioners to keep the facility cool because the computers have to stay at a certain temperature and so we saw a lot of people creating mines in northern china where it's cold canada so some of these places were having those type of situations because the climate permitted for them to have those type of facilities but we did we did meet somebody and he said that he's doing it in the south yeah and that was yeah he's doing it but he's because uh the electricity is cheaper um and the land is cheaper so he's just the money he's just he has a cooling system wow that's really interesting i'm surprised i haven't came up with a cloud way of doing it yet just like is that the whole reason why we got rid of servers i don't know make it super easy though i don't think they're trying to make it where everybody can just get it for free of course not no but if they make that like a cloud wow yeah yeah yeah and the the thing about about mining uh the coins is that when we didn't we didn't get into it but the circulating supply bitcoin won't exist i think is it 20 43 i think that's the last about the estimated time that the last coin will be mine so people are trying to mine it so they can have a coins because after that time they won't exist and they won't be producing they won't exist as far as new ones new ones there won't be any new ones circulating so when you see circulating coins if it says 18 million and you check how many have been circulated or made already then you know how much time you have until it's a infinite amount of coins that can be uh created yeah it's not it's not unlimited resource yeah so it's another interesting thing which makes it right which makes it more valuable exactly exactly all right uh i think i have so much no problem so yeah thank you is it marthelli i hope i got it right martella you are unmuted amuse yourself what's going on yo what's good fam everything's good did i get it right bless plus plus best you know brooklyn always up in here always got show loves my broken people brooklyn we did it oh brooklyn we did this yes sir my man got behind us i took my shot at janet right quick oh yeah throwing my financial planning class there you go there you go daddy i'm trying to be a regular on the undershirt what now but uh right quick i know you guys got a lot of people who have questions so i just want to ask you uh you mentioned earlier how um the what you're really looking at is what problem those coins are are solving what do you mean how what what kind of problems are we talking about like how's the coin solving and you ask any problem yeah i mean that you're referring to before you pick which one you're going to deal with yeah or like what utility it serves like so for instance like um xrp is the one that i've been like looking at for a while right and so it was it was the ability to really to be able to send money uh internationally so you like you know i don't remember back in the day like you would go to like western union moneygram to send money you know overseas right and the fees were really expensive to do that like to be able to send money overseas to people and they're like okay well now we've got something on the blockchain that allows us to be able to send these fees and save companies money on processing fees right but also sending money like you can send i forget it with somebody sent like a few million dollars across the country or across the world in a matter of like one point something second so it allowed and i'm like okay man for me that makes sense because money companies are always processing money they're trying to find ways to save money on those fees and so they can get some of those feedback and then the companies that's that's offering it it's it's it's it allows that that makes more sense to me and how they've been built out than a company that's just a mean coin and i'm not making fun of that because that's literally what it was but so i'm looking at like all right what does this actually do you look at ethereum and it's not just the ethereum but now you have other projects that are being built on top of it it's like okay well man that that's definitely a good coin but now you look at one of them like cardona that's that's growing pretty good that's on top of it so you know you start looking at what are okay man what are all these things doing yeah and that's something that yeah they always cut them out the best part um yeah the the use case like what's the use case for it and um like he said you know the rip xrp is a perfect example of that and that's why a lot of the financial institutions had backed xrp um because it solves a problem any business you have to solve a problem and uh you know transferring money is still to this day really a problem it still hasn't really been fully solved um you know the transfer we talked about it before the quickest way to get a million dollars from new york to london is to get on a plane with it and that's not that's not really that's kind of crazy if you really think about it in 2021 so you know with the blockchain um and you're able to move this in a matter of seconds and xrp is the coin of choice um when it comes to the financial world it was um a lot of people you know had problems with that because they felt like you know it sold out and it wasn't real a real cryptocurrency because it was centralized it wasn't decentralized but um that's another situation altogether yeah but you know it solves a problem long story short it solves a problem so that's what he was saying like there's some coins where it's just they don't solve any problem at all it's just like you just make a coin like i could just make you know the shoddy coin and just have a coin but it's like what's the point of it what is it being used for yeah it has no no use case yeah so there's there's another coin too that we were looking at at the time and when you said what's the purpose of it there was this coin called medicoin and it was the purpose of it was to keep all medical transactions on a blockchain so imagine that if you went to a hospital in new york city and you had been traveling and something happened to you and you were in another country right how long would it take for them to get your medical records to you to find out what you need and what they can't use whereas you had a blockchain where that record was always kept it would be there instantaneously so those are we're trying to talk about for use cases like that has a use you understand what i'm saying as opposed to somebody looking at a a cartoon wolf so when mark when mark cuban was on with you guys he stated that he sees ethereum as like the leader going forward do you think that at any point it could actually take over bitcoin slot can i take over uh you talking about like price point i don't know i don't know if anybody because you know i don't know who knows but bitcoin is more of like a place where people store like it bitcoin is not something a lot of people really use you know it's like i want to put is it's an alternative for our generation to like gold like i'm not going to put i'm not looking today hey where can i buy some gold i know it's not a bad thing to buy right i i've got some jewelry and stuff like that but it's more of like it's it's where people store their money now uh ethereum i do believe like they're saying that it could go to ten thousand you know but just the same way that you know jp morgan and chase is saying that bitcoin can go to 130 000 like we don't you know how do we know i do believe that it definitely is a solid investment now because of so many things that are being built on top of it that are now becoming big things as well and so because like what's happening with nfts and stuff like this and some of the other things that are being built on top of it they need ethereum to work and so they need ethereum to work you know that you got to invest into the foundation of it well now everything that's else on top of it that's you you're it's kind of like you can double dip so i i definitely think that's if if i was new to crypto and and i'm getting into it that would be one i would really look into uh ethereum uh because of of what's gonna be happening and it's still really a good price it's not it's not too bad right now you know sixteen hundred dollars two thousand i think it broke an all-time high over the weekend as well and it pulled back so this is a great time to get back into it yeah congratulations troy congratulations with shaw pharrell you guys are doing big things sky's the limit much love fellas appreciate you that's one of the reasons why i really like ethereum that's kind of like one of my um thesis of investing period i like to look at something where um if it falls apart the whole space is in trouble so i look at like apple if apple falls apart overnight a lot of a lot of things are in trouble the whole the whole tech space is in trouble i'm in trouble if they fall apart so i feel like ethereum's in the same like if ethereum falls apart even more so than bitcoin bitcoin psychologically um you know would have a major obvious it would the crypto space but ethereum from from a youth standpoint this there's hundreds of coins probably even maybe a thousand coins that actually run on ethereum's platform so if ethereum falls apart that's gonna the crypto space so i look at it like all right nothing is ever guaranteed but you know we try to mitigate as much risk as possible and having something that is so vital to the industry in my in my opinion obviously you know everybody has their own opinion but in my opinion it makes it a lot more comfortable for me to invest in because i'm not just investing in ethereum i'm investing in a whole platform that ethereum has under the you know umbrella so that's something to think about when you're looking at crypto and we said this about a month ago when that when i think bitcoin was was headed towards 30 000 i was like hey look that's great but based on a percentage ethereum is actually moving at a higher rate and so while people we were watching it we were watching it bitcoin hit 20 000 hit 30 000 ethereum's moving right along with it and like you said it's a more affordable price and it's it's usage obviously is undeniable like we said things are built on top of it that's why the platform i think is sustainable i don't know if it'll ever pass bitcoin but just because of the dominance of bitcoin it's like was it 62 percent of the space yeah yeah we have we haven't had companies start investing billions of dollars into ethereum yet you know but you know if that date comes that that'll be great as well that's something to think about too as far as the bitcoin dominance 62 percent of the market cap so once again that would be like if tesla was 62 of the of the stock exchange like of nasdaq or new york stock exchange like if one company made up 62 of the entire stock market just think about that that's kind of crazy um so that you know also to going back to bitcoin that gives you know me a lot of confidence in bitcoin not only am i confident about bitcoin because you see all this institutional money uh piling in and you see it just getting you know reinforced daily um but being that it has so much dominance in this space it's like it's 62 percent of cryptocurrency is in bitcoin i mean if bitcoin falls everything falls yeah so somebody just asked a really good question they said so uh bitcoin has a max supply yeah the max supply is 22 21 million um ethereum doesn't have a max supply right now it's circulating supply is 114 million but you could understand why it wouldn't have the max supplies because there's more coins coming into the space and they have to build on top of them using ethereum tokens so that's why it probably doesn't have a max supply good question that was a great question yeah and unlike the us dollar they can't keep printing more you know like if they run out they don't just make more bitcoins that is what it is so i think a lot of people are trusting it for for a lot of reasons man the crypto space is really really really strong man for a lot of reasons and and you got to have a strong stomach crypto it pulls back it's part of it like you know i mean like even recently had a pullback but in the stock world we see those pullbacks and we'd be like panicking like 20 20 that's that's a huge ten percent of correction in the stock market something if something drops 20 it's like this is going this is going crazy but in crypto that's just a regular tuesday so we saw a 60 70 percent pullbacks in bitcoin bitcoin was at twenty thousand and in march it was at three thousand and now it's had fifty thousand so it's like you know you just have to and this is why you don't wanna put all your money in something like you know it's extremely volatile it goes up and down um but just keep that in mind too it's like it's a long-term long-term perspective no different than stocks you gotta think long-term with this and um just have the stomach for it because there's a possibility you put money in and it's gonna it's going roller coast yeah when people buy you know like anything else they take profit and so i think it's some people also have to understand what what's happening when you're seeing some of this stuff too is like you know when it goes up to 58 000 if i've been in for a while i'm probably going to take a little bit of profit or people exchange them for other currencies and that's when you start seeing these altcoins start rising because people are like cool let me move some of this money over here because now i can put it in you know something like cardano or some of these other coins and it can go up 20 or 30 percent really quick in a day and then i can take that out put it back in in bitcoin and so it's just understanding what's happening in the market and and recognizing those more so with buying opportunities especially with something like bitcoin that is really solid like now you've got corporations putting billions of dollars into it you know even even companies like uh like grayscale like gbtc they they just bought another 300 million dollars worth of bitcoin and so when you see people doing this dumping a lot of money into it it's like all right cool man i think i can afford to put a few thousand dollars into it and let it sit because they're not putting hundreds of millions of dollars into it to take it out like tomorrow this is like an entire fund so they're here for the long term as well yeah bitcoins here this day somebody asked about uh bitcoin and ethereum in the futures market i believe last week actually i was sitting with ian when i told him about this i think ethereum started trading the futures market darium started trading the future market that's interesting it's gonna be interesting let's get let's get like one or two more questions uh uh before we wrap if we can let's go to dorothy dorothy we coming to you i'm mute yourself you've been unmuted what's going on good evening gentlemen thank you so much um this has been mind-blowing i want to ask you you said uh block i'm new to this is investing in block the same thing as what i would be doing if i invest with acorns so like i give them some money and they spread it across a couple of different places is that what block is like no block is an etf black is an etf and so it's kind of like how we we've explained etfs or like an all-star team of stocks right all in one and so you don't have to go and individually buy a riot or a micro strategy you can buy the etf b-o-b-l-o-k and you'll have you'll have exposure to all of those just at a smaller rate which leaves you a little bit more room right if you invest in microstrategy and it has a terrible day obviously your portfolio is going to take a hit whereas if you have bll okay or block which mirrors a blockchain technology you have more leeway here because if if michael strategy has a bad day riot might not have a bad day so yeah it's just uh to protect you okay gotcha perfect thank you no problem all right here we go let's go i see a name we haven't seen uh liz we coming to you liz unmute yourself you've been unmuted what's going on can you hear me now yeah yeah yeah thanks for running back from the fridge we appreciate that no no i'm sorry i hit a mute but then there's like a delay me hand to my peoples thank you so very much i am so excited to finally get to speak to you guys congratulations number one kobe thriver here i went under you guys were at 23 000. i came to and you're at over 300 000. i couldn't be more excited really love you guys my best friend of thirty years is on here i feel like harriet tubman i'm telling the whole world about you guys oh i think i really i absolutely love you guys so i will be thank you to alistair a brother i will be there on march 5th at 8 o'clock um really trying to learn the crypto space uh but my question is more so around blockchain i'm hoping you guys can kind of help me i've been trying to do some research around this and um to rashad's earlier point about you know it's all about group economics i really feel like there's a potential here with this technology um to really kind of propel what what it is we're trying to do in terms of wealth creation right as as a group and as a community so i'm trying to figure out can you guys speak to a little bit um about how how it is that is possible through blockchain that you have some communities for instance in africa and other developing nations that are using it to disintermediate banks right or insurance companies or you know i've been reading about smart contracts but i serve about 4 000 young men of color black and latino new york and i'm trying to and i was on a webinar earlier with portland state university they're teaching blockchain there um through with some sponsorship from intel and nike right so i'm just trying to figure out can you guys speak a little bit just like like i'm a sixth grader um um troy what is it about blockchain that is so revolutionary by way of like through you know through these coins or currencies that you're able to kind of like build wealth i'm not getting like i understand the susu notion from a cultural perspective but i don't i don't know how that translates to this so i'm trying to think about bottom up social impact solutions and how that correlates with with blockchain that's my question thank you okay yeah i'll let everybody else speak on it i don't necessarily think i mean as far as building wealth but it's interesting i'm not sure if that's the best um phrase for it um because blockchain has been around for a while it's not it's it's actually not even new um companies have been using it for for a long time um but what it does do and like speaking about africa is actually interesting to say that because 60 minutes had an interesting segment um a while back with uh they was in kenya and um you know we talked about like shout out to greenwood bank and shout out to killer mike when we talked about you know the unbanked so there's there's a large population in america people that are unbanked um and it's even larger on the continent of africa especially in rural places like kenya whereas like you know if you live in a rural area your nearest bank might be 100 miles away and that's not really you know living in new york we kind of get spoiled where there's banks on every single corner but you might not have a bank so what really revolutionized the whole country is that they have um these cell phones which is like really cheap cell phones like they're like the flip phones um but being that now like you know the vast majority of the population is actually banked through the cell phone so even though they can't make it to a brick and mortar um actual location not actually able to send money through the cell phone and you know and that's a big thing because it's like all right you might have a farm you might need to send money to a family member and 500 miles away and you know previously it was almost impossible because they didn't have access to banking institutions so now when you have now banks like greenwood bank who is a strictly online bank and that's one of their you know things that they're actually promoting is that you know they are going to give banking opportunities to people that have been left out of the traditional banking system and that will only empower you know as far as the economic systems because now you have access to to things that you might not necessarily have access to but the blockchain technology is so interesting and i'm not an expert on blockchain but you know i've done some research on it but there's so many different things that blockchain can be used for so like when troy talked about blockchain um in the medical world you know one company that we're familiar with teledoc you know i'm saying teledoc is is a huge we talked about tele.com market mondays which is a revolution that which is revolutionizing the world of medicine so you look at banking like xrp which is has the potential to revolutionize financial financial space so blockchain technology is something that can actually it's actually already in use and it's going to be here whether it cryptocurrency cannot live without blockchain but blockchain could live without cryptocurrency so just a real quick fact and it was actually on tnbc today uh out of 32 leading banks in the united states eight of them already used blockchain blockchain technology so that's just a fun like something interesting to know right eight out of the 32 largest banks already use the technology and so we're going to see some more more money pouring in but on a sixth grade level to explain blockchain it's a digital record of a transaction for an asset it's a digital record and so like i said in the medical space that's a prime example i'm glad shawn reiterated it because think about those scenarios how fast could you get your medical records from one place to another in a matter of seconds where it might be today's age i have to fax it over we're waiting for the email to come through this could happen instantaneously in fact remember we had the the ndi the chips yeah they had the chips that was a form of the blockchain technology where it was like there was a chip that you would carry with you and it would have all your things related to yourself your home address all inside of a ledger so when somebody met if you had an accident or anything like that we just scanned it and we already know everything you're allergic to um any past medical history so there's so much that you can do and aren't you like i'm a huge watcher of 60 minutes i really like that show a lot i'm here and um you know in the art world if anybody's familiar art's a billion dollar industry and um the counterfeit art world is going crazy right now counterfeit art world is almost a billion dollar industry like and there's been several like huge huge hundred million dollar paintings that have been um forged and they really couldn't find out until years later and it's a big thing and it's costing the art world's millions of dollars a year so now if you look at you know as being an artist this is something that is crippling the art world because it's like i can create a painting and then somebody duplicates it and we don't know which one is the real one so now with the this is why like when mark cuban and these guys are so interested in nfts um and you should definitely check that class out next on the march 5th is because if i'm an artist now there's no second guessing i don't have to prove i don't have to put my it's a digital record that this is the only one of this kind so if i make a if i make a a portrait of myself on a blockchain and it's digital art it's a one-on-one literally a one-on-one and you can prove it so it's like having a social security number like so that's a game changer in the art world so i mean this is we can keep going on and on there's so many things that you know um the blockchain technology will change and um crypto is just one of it it's just one aspect of blockchain uses the blockchain but blockchain is already being used and um it will be here with or without cryptocurrency and like i said from the art world to the medical world to the finance world to education i feel like everything will be eventually um completely changed by technology and blockchain technology um is one of the leading factors in a new age of technology no to me it's almost like the internet you know like the internet came out years ago right but what purpose like would it serve then what it serves now [Laughter] so i appreciate the commentary i think what uh what what's been happening is as a result of ebile and obviously all the great content because obviously i did see that episode the mark cuban i'm sorry you back justin i'm back it's you know i'ma stop talking this thing [Laughter] i can't wait i can't go ahead okay anyway so i i don't want to take too much time i just wanted the last thing the last point i wanted to make to in just a response what was covered is what i'm starting to see is i'm trying starting to connect dots right um i think rashad you've mentioned in previous episodes um as it relates to bitcoin at one point jp morgan chase right and um jamie dimon um were um you know for lack of a better term were poo pooing right the whole bitcoin thing and and now all of a sudden on the back end right they have all of the institutional investors right they're letting the institutional investors right um transact right in their jpmorgan coin as an example right um and so i'm just for me yes it seems like that's where the world is headed um but it also seems like it's an it's an opportunity to to counteract the hypocrisy of a lot of these institutions that have traditionally kept our communities um where they are right and so i'm just i'm connecting dots and i appreciate you all listening i'm going to keep researching um but this is phenomenal i really see i appreciate that and that's one of the things that you know we try to do with our platform is you know we can only do so much right it's like you know we everybody has to take up take responsibility and move the world forward but i feel like you know previous to earn at least humbly speaking you know we get insights like when you see mark cuban the guy's worth four billion dollars someone said so when he says you know nfts when you see gary vee who's upwards of 300 million who's saying invest a hundred hours in nfts like you know i mean previously we might not have got that information because the outlet it wasn't there was no outlet to have that kind of and like these are serious people like these aren't just random people off the street so you know now it's up to us to actually do the research and learn and you know could we all the biggest thing that we always say is that you know we late to the party we was left behind nobody told us so you can't really have that excuse now because um you're being told so that's why i love like somebody said like what's the class at ewy university um you know the members put together a crypto group and they're going to have an nft class so they said like digital art yeah that's what we talked about nfts not just digital art but non-fungible tokens one of the things are digital digital art and um they're gonna have a whole class collecting themselves music too yeah music music collectibles all of that and that's uh on march 5th so it's like knowledge is power man now knowledge is power and it's a c it's a c it's like an ocean of knowledge like you know i mean like we just you learn something and you realize how much you don't know and it's a humbling experience because it's like there's so much more to learn and um this is why i like when we interview mark cuban i asked him how much time he spends learning and he says all day every day he said i invest in courses i buy books i buy online classes he said i'm literally learning all the time because i have to stay up to date and the world changes so quickly so not letting you kick my ass yeah so you know that's just that's just some fool for thought yeah but uh we can never get complacent we can never act like we know it all we're all students we're all students at the end of the day no matter how much we think we know um there's still a wide range of things that we have no idea about and there's nothing wrong with that like me personally i hate people that act like they know everything about everything um because a it's just not true and then b is pretentious and you and you you push people off by acting like you're an expert when you know when you're a student there's nothing wrong with being a student we can all learn from each other and we can all grow and that's what we built our platform on we built our platform as being a community of students we're not we're not um chosen leaders or you're never saying defined we don't we don't our our conception was immaculate no we didn't come for nazareth none of that we just regular people that just come from a neighborhood that just learns some stuff and we network with great people like justin that know more stuff and we just put it together put it out
