Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to Crypto Talk Radio, the podcast for everyday investors like you. Visit us on the web at CryptoTalkRadio.net. And now, here's your host, Leister. Thank you for that, Bailey, and welcome everybody out there on Crypto Talk Radio, found at CryptoTalkRadio.net. Seriously, do I have to talk about cryptocurrency? I don't mean it the way it came out, but I'm asking.
I legit, I'm like, do I have to? I really don't want to. It's not even boring this time. That's not the problem. The problem is simply... Everything that's happening is expected, and there's a lot of stuff happening on the side that's making it even more predictable. When it's predictable, it's not fun to talk about. That's the thing.
It's like it's something we can expect and anticipate is going to happen. We knew it's going to happen. We know it's going to, regardless of what I say. So that's why I'm saying, do I have to? And I am one that's kind of on the J-O-B.
Chapter 2: How does the host view the current state of cryptocurrency?
I'm like, let me just do it. I can control the time. I can control the duration. I will caveat. It's possible. Somebody is going to call me because I hit them with a revelation that hopefully made him feel good, but they may not call. They may not want to, which is fine, but I suspect they probably will.
So I might get interrupted and I'll take that and come back to you guys, but I'll talk about what I can. Even though it's not going to surprise you, it's not going to excite you, it's not going to thrill you, it's just what it is. I'll talk about what I can. We will have a short episode today, almost confidently.
I'll probably slip in some, a little bit of 101, but not dominate the episode 101 this time. But a little bit of learning, because some stuff happened that I think is worth an educational moment for everybody.
coinmarketcap.com we are going to zoom out to the month chart for bitcoin to observe a strong upward trend currently hovering just shy of the 74 000 mark before i talked about a downward trend the downward trend i see seems to have subsided at least to the degree as before like it before it was like dumped up and then it kind of tapered off and it was a slight downward last week if you recall now i see what appears to be a strong upward trend
But to see that you'd have to look at the month chart, which is why I do that to slow volatility. Cause if you kept on the 24 hour chart, it's going to look absolutely dire. And frankly, city as in city bank predicted a $30,000 drop from where we're at. And remember, I mentioned a while ago that some people were estimating that we were going to go down to roughly about the $30,000 mark.
And I said, it's possible, but I didn't think so. I wasn't sure even now with the upward trend, There are still other factors I'll talk about here briefly that could derail the upward moment that I see here and turn it into a downward moment. I don't know. I'm saying that right now, as I look at it, it appears to have good, strong upward pressure.
Whether it sustains is the real open question that we're not really sure. Meanwhile, looking at Ethereum over the month chart, it has an even stronger upward trend currently hovering around the $2,300 mark. As I record it on the past 24 hours, just like with Bitcoin, looks like a downward trend, but it's not the same when you zoom out and the volatility is calmed down.
So it's that there's some short term pain, but possibly long term pleasure, that being What's happening with the crypto market is a recovery. And of course, all the news are helping to pump the situation with strategy holds a million Bitcoin and all these other things that are designed to trigger you to FOMO and take action. Whether you do or not is entirely up to you.
I am saying it appears to be an upward trend for all disclosure. I did buy a little bit into Bitcoin as well as BNB. the bnb token seems to have very strong momentum anytime bitcoin has these dips and then goes back up in recovery so if you didn't know they have they have burn mechanics built into the bnb token they also have

Chapter 3: What are the trends in Bitcoin and Ethereum's performance?
It didn't do anything. There was no value. And they gave away their private information because the young people don't understand. You're giving away your privacy. And for what? You're basically being whored out. A bunch of whores. This is the reality of crypto and the desperation of cryptocurrency. And that's why the crypto projects do what they do.
That's why they make the lofty promises that they do. That's why they keep screwing up because they're scrambling and they're rushing to try to get your money. it's incumbent. Look, look, look it up on you to stop falling for those traps. If you keep falling for those traps, it's on you.
I had a person on coin market caps community said that for this one project that I will not name, they said, ah, I lost my life savings. Why in the world would you put your quote life savings in a cryptocurrency project? Not just that,
not just that but a cryptocurrency project whose claim to fame was having a guy standing on the moon telling you about why would you put your quote life savings in a project that had no tangible product why would you put your life savings into something that is online only why would you put your life savings into something that requires internet access why would you put your life savings into something that at the time there's no custody you have no asset you own nothing
Why would you put your life savings in the hands of a bunch of people who lied to you continuously? I struggle this. And despite my every effort to try to help, I'm not getting through. And I understand there's gamblers that roll the dice. I understand that.
my impassioned plea to you if you are aware of some of these people it's a sickness it's a disease we need to cut it off the past spread the word crypto talk.fm and tell them straight sit them down slap them if you must do but sit them down and help them understand you're a gambler you're an addict and you need to listen to this guy he's trying to hit you with some reason and logic and common sense to stop you from making stupid decisions next time and stop you putting your life savings
and your kids and your spouse at risk over garbage on the internet. I digress. I really, I I'm calm now. I'm I'm calm now. I'm better. I swear. I want to wrap up now. Quit the currency overall. I want to wrap up now. The exchanges, all the different exchanges, all the central exchanges, all the decentral exchanges, there's a new sheriff potentially coming in town. You might've heard about this.
This new sheriff potentially is your local bank. What's happening or what's possibly happening. You might've heard as I did an episode a couple of weeks ago back about the banks are pushing back about yields. They don't want to have yields. They don't want you to make any money. They want you to deal with the garbage rates that they have.
And I suggested that smart banks, especially FinTechs, if you're smart, you're just simply going to launch your own coins and deal with it that way. You're going to make a bent because if you are a trusted source of getting these assets and they know they can trust you, there's a face, there's a name, there's a building, whatever you're going to naturally get that money flow.
