AI Analysis
This video dives into the latest happenings in the crypto world, covering the market's explosive altcoin season, the growing influence of figures like Elon Musk, and crucial warnings about the recent Ledger data breach. It also takes a deep dive into active yield farming strategies and the mechanics of Ethereum 2.0 staking, offering insights into navigating the high-risk, high-reward opportunities currently available.
Here’s a breakdown of the key topics:
* Crypto Market Overview & Outlook
* Bitcoin and Ethereum have remained relatively stable, which often signals the start of an "altcoin season" where smaller coins see significant price surges.
* Bitcoin saw a 74% increase and Ethereum 10% in the past week, and it’s notable that weekend prices didn’t significantly drop, unlike past crypto cycles.
* There’s a strong belief that 2021 will be the year for Bitcoin and Ethereum, as more people are looking for alternatives to traditional fiat currency due to global economic instability.
* Bitcoin is currently facing strong resistance at $24,000, which it tried and failed to break recently.
* A crucial warning for the upcoming holidays: trading volumes will be thin, leading to potential high volatility and sudden price drops or surges. It’s advised to avoid leveraged positions during this time to prevent liquidations.
* Ethereum shows a lot of promise, with strong support around $630, driven by immense development in the DeFi space and its close correlation with altcoin movements.
* Elon Musk's Crypto Influence
* Elon Musk has been actively tweeting about Bitcoin, indicating his growing interest in the cryptocurrency space. One notable tweet showed him grappling with balancing a normal life and Bitcoin.
* Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy publicly suggested that Tesla convert its balance sheet to Bitcoin for shareholder benefit, to which Musk surprisingly asked if such large transactions were even possible.
* This question about Bitcoin’s liquidity was quickly dismissed by major figures like Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) of FTX, who confirmed that billions of dollars in Bitcoin transactions are indeed possible and easily handled by the market, highlighting Bitcoin's massive liquidity.
* Musk has also been jokingly tweeting about Dogecoin, causing it to pump significantly, showing his influence on even meme coins.
* There’s strong frustration with traditional gold bug Peter Schiff, who is seen as consistently wrong about Bitcoin and suffering from "cognitive dissonance" – an inability to admit being wrong despite overwhelming evidence.
* Ledger Database Breach Warning
* A serious security incident occurred: a database stolen from Ledger in June 2020, containing users' emails and physical shipping addresses, has now been widely dumped on public forums.
* Crucial Warning: The Ledger hardware wallet itself remains secure and unbroken. The danger lies in phishing scams. Users are strongly advised not to click on any suspicious links, download files, or respond to emails claiming their Ledger device is compromised or needs "fixing."
* Many affected Ledger users are understandably angry and considering legal action against Ledger for this significant leak of personal data.
* The Rise of Altcoins: The Graph (GRT)
* The altcoin season is in full swing, highlighted by The Graph (GRT) which saw an incredible 2.5x surge and is now up 7x from its launch price of $0.10.
* The Graph (GRT) is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data, essentially providing easy-to-use APIs for developers to access information like crypto prices or trading activities (e.g., used by AstroTools).
* Its hype is attributed to both its practical use case for developers and its wide distribution, meaning many people hold it and are talking positively about it.
* The Graph’s rally also sparked interest and price increases in related projects like API3 and Parsec.
* After seeing significant community interest, money was thrown into GRT as a "speculative punt" but profits were taken due to the coin's rapid, high-risk rally.
* Yield Farming Strategies for Passive Income
* Yield farming is "back, baby!" and has become a primary source of passive income for daily expenses, offering much higher returns than traditional banks.
* Current personal farming setup involves stablecoins on Wing.finance (USDC deposits yielding around 33% APY). By using a more advanced and "extremely dangerous" technique called "folding" (borrowing and re-depositing), yields can be optimized to 60-70%.
* Also using SwissBorg's smart yield, which offers around 18% APY on USDC for premium users (requiring 50,000 CHSB tokens locked). This is a lower-maintenance option and diversifies risk.
* BadgerDAO is used for Bitcoin-based farming (RenBTC/wBTC liquidity pools), yielding about 44% APY plus Badger tokens. There's excitement for Badger’s upcoming "Dig" token, a rebasing coin.
* Additional farming is being done on Pancake and Sushi.
* Re-entering the farming scene now because yields are attractive again, and the number of scams has decreased compared to earlier periods.
* Ethereum 2.0 Staking
* Actively running two Ethereum 2.0 validator nodes, which have generated around $95 in 11 days (projecting $300/month per node).
* Staking requires 32 ETH and running a node online constantly (services like Allnodes can manage this for about $10/month).
* ETH2 staking is a long-term commitment; the staked ETH cannot be withdrawn until Ethereum 2.0's Phase 1 or 1.5, which could be 1-2 years away.
* It's currently a more efficient way to earn passive income than GPU mining, especially given the current scarcity of high-end graphics cards.
* Gaming & NFTs
* Kickstarter is adopting NFTs as a new way for indie games to fundraise, seeing success with projects like Rev and Sandbox.
* NFTs are particularly well-suited for niche, independent games designed around player-to-player trading (e.g., CryptoKitties), as major game titles often ban trading to maximize their own revenue.
* New Token Launches & "Degen" Plays
* DuckDao (DDIM) is an incubator community where holding the DDIM token grants access to participate in new project sales and community discussions.
* A new token called Duck Liquidity Pools (DUCK) is launching for market making. Farming DUCK requires permanently locking DDIM, a design choice to encourage long-term commitment and create deflationary pressure.
* Other high-risk, high-profit altcoin opportunities discussed include Frax, Injective, and MahaDao, which have all seen significant price surges.
* TrustSwap (SWAP) is also doing well, especially with its launchpad projects and new credit card integration.
* Advanced trading tactics, like using FTX perpetual longs for GRT instead of spot buying on Binance, are being employed to capture small price differences and funding rates, demonstrating "next level trader plays."
* Personal Philosophy & Community Engagement
* It's important to take profits in crypto, especially during bull runs, to enjoy life, and the "stigma" around selling should be removed.
* Emphasizes the critical need for proper research and identity verification to avoid widespread scams in the crypto space.
* The BoxMining Telegram channel has been made private to improve conversation quality and manage spam, with hints that secret ways to join will be available soon.
* Personal practices include intermittent fasting and avoiding alcohol during intense trading periods to maintain focus and avoid critical errors during large transactions.

Here is my button to start the live stream. Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. All right, looks like we're streaming and we are just hit the live stream button just right now. So we're ready to go. Just waiting a few seconds for everything to start up here and then we are ready to go. So welcome back to another episode of Box Mining. Guys, we have a packed episode today. This morning was super busy because I was involved in a lot of crazy chat stuff that's going on. Stuff popping left, right and center. So what we're going to talk about today, we got the news update. So yeah, whatever happened this weekend and a lot of it relates to Elon Musk. He's been taking a liking to crypto recently. We'll take a look at his tweets, his latest tweets and where this can go from there. We also have some warnings and updates. So if you've ordered a ledger, this is very unfortunate. If you order the ledger, unfortunately, there was a breach in the ledger database containing people's emails and their addresses, their shipping addresses. So that's something that you need to be very careful of. Now there's going to be, this is a warning. If you order from ledger, unfortunately, it may have been the case that your email has been leaked and there's some crazy stuff going on there. We'll cover that in a lot of detail. So that's the unfortunate part you got to watch out for. We're going to take a look at the cryptocurrency markets as well. It's been going bananas. It's been going great. So even though Bitcoin hasn't moved up a lot, Bitcoin, Ethereum, they're being staying relatively stable. But when that happens, the mice come out to play. The big cats are sleeping. The mice come out to play. We've got the graph moving like apeshit bananas. We've got Dogecoin just after Elon's tweet just like popped like that near protocol. Bitcoin cash even. What? Binance coin as well moving up. So, yeah, today there's been quite a lot of movement on the graph. We'll talk about the graph as well. Everyone was requesting the graph. And this really symbolizes the current state, right? So just before we start, just like, oh, it's kind of funny, right? So last session on Friday, we're talking about the graph. There are so many requests. We'll talk about the graph. Talk about the graph. Talk about the graph. What is the graph? And to be honest, I knew what the graph was. But because I didn't get into the pre-sale, I was like, you know what? Let me just put it behind me. But after the stream, because there's so much excitement, you know what? I'm like, okay, I'm going to just throw some money into the graph. And then, you know, look what's happening today. It popped like 2.5x. Like, that's the altcoin season for you guys, right? So, yeah, we're kind of at the kind of the start of that craze for the altcoin season, starting off of the graph, which pushed up. If you look at the altcoins, the graph pushed up every coin kind of relating to services around graph. So we have API3 being popped up, Harsec also being propped up. Anything that is like graph is getting pushed up this weekend. So I was like, it was an absolute craze, right? And we'll talk about the altcoin market today. So that's kind of the agenda today. We also have farming. There's a lot of farming going on. Farming is back, baby. There is so much going on. Like, that's what I spent most of my last week and this weekend on, which is making sure that my farms are generating profit, to say the very least. So it's not the most ambitious. So I've set up my farm. So it's not the most ambitious, but I want to be safe for size. So whilst they're there, I'm just going to leave my farms there. So we've got Wing, we've got Badger, we've got some crazy stabilized going on. Yeah, we'll talk a little bit about farming. I'm just leaving those farms there so I can get some passive income, get some Christmas presents out of the way with that. And then, you know, it doesn't have to be so much micromanaging. And then I can focus on the crazy altcoin stuff that's going on. And then the altcoin space is like, that's the focus right now. That's the focus. So anyways, guys, that's my take. Let's go. Let's get started. Guys, if you're just coming here, smash up that like button. Smash up the like button. All right. Smash up the like button. It really does help the channel. Also, I want to give two big shout outs. First of all, Troy, welcome to Mini Whale status. Congrats, Troy. Congrats on making it to Mini Whale. Thank you so much. First and foremost, for joining Mini Whale on this channel. It's for people who are generous and try. Congrats. I'm sure this recent market is doing well. So good job there. We got Koi Lo as well. Koi Lo as well. Welcome to Team Crypto, guys. Joining Team Crypto only costs you $2. It does help support this channel. And also gives you a super smiley face on your profile down there. I don't even know why I'm promoting it sometimes because like I'm farming way more than the money I get from this. But it builds a community. That's what the money is used for building community. We're using it to pay off some bills from like Telegram and all that stuff. So thank you guys so much for joining that. And we'll give you some cool stuff coming up soon as well. But anyways, let's get started. All right. Let's take a look at the market first and foremost. So Bitcoin Ethereum hasn't moved too much. I mean, it's got a crazy week. During the weekday, it was insane, right? So if you remember the weekday last week, we got 74% on Bitcoin. That's in 17. 10% on ETH. 10% on XRP in the last 24, not 24, 7 days. So obviously, it's been moving up. The weekend, you know, kind of interesting is that the weekend, it didn't drop as well. I think that's the kind of key point to remember here. So whilst we didn't move up aggressively during the weekend, it didn't really drop. But sometimes like back in the 2017 days, you know, like back in the war days, I will tell a war story. Weekends were the most dangerous. Like back in a day, you'll be like, you know, sometimes you'll be hitting like a 10%, 20% drop over the weekend. I was making videos. I still remember because I make those videos saying, hey, guys, it's just a weekend dip, guys. It happens all the time. I'm not sure if that's going to come back or not. I mean, it happened three years ago. I'm not sure if it's going to happen this wave, but it does have to deal with trading habits. So, yeah. So I'm pretty happy that, you know, we're up here. And like I said before, you know, when Bitcoin and Ethereum doesn't move too much, the altcoins come on play. I'll talk a little bit about altcoins. My take on this, right? So I'll give you guys a small take. In fact, I'm going to bring up trading view here. I think a lot of people are interested in what my take on this is. So I still think there's a lot of room to grow. Let's be honest here. I think we're just at the start of this market. I think 2021 will be the year of Bitcoin and a year of Ethereum. Reason being is I feel like this year has been the year of like trashing fiat, right? If you think about it, look at this year as a story. If you look at this year as a story, Bitcoin has an insane rise. All the stock market has an insane rise. Why? Because fiat sucks, right? So that's kind of the story this year, right? So people did just, you know, if you look at this year, you know, the coronavirus hit, bam. We had this major fall in Bitcoin after people were scared. And they realized, oh, shit, we need a currency that is kind of immune to this current crisis, these hard times that we're having right here. So people needed that and boom, right? That's why we see Bitcoin just pumping, pumping, pumping and moving up. So that's because people were trashing fiat. If you look at like Tesla stocks, same story over there, right? People needed some way to get the hell out of fiat. And now this year, I think what the next year, 2021, is shaping up towards is where people start identifying the power of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. And we've seen that with Elon Musk, but I think that's not the whole story. That's going to actually grow from that point onwards. So I feel like that's where we're going to shatter some walls here. So right now, in terms of kind of the supports and resistances, we definitely see that there is definitely some solid cells at around 24K. So I'm moving that bar up a little bit. It seems like it's been touched once and twice. But yet again, we got rejected on 24K on the 20th of December. So on 20th of December, we tried to break out. We tried to go for it. Yet the market was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Bitcoin, you got to chill a little bit. You got to chill a little bit downwards and then see what's... So we almost had some 24K magic, but it wasn't there yet. It wasn't there yet. So we're fast approaching that though. So right now, we're actually very, very fastly approaching 24K magic and then trying to test that kind of resistance to see if we can break it. So it's very exciting times. I definitely see that next few days will be quite turbulent. I just want to remind you guys that there are holidays coming up very, very soon. I'm just sorry for drawing that weird arrow. But holidays coming up, right? We've got Christmas here. We saw last time that during Black... Like during the turkey days, during Thanksgiving, there were a few drops at around that time where trade volumes becomes a little bit thin. And people start testing to see how much leverage people have on the market. So that's one thing I will be watchful of. So during the holidays, it's coming up. We've got like what? One, two... One, two, three, four. Four days? Really? Four days? Today's the 21st already? Yeah, but 21st in Hong Kong. So we've got four days until Christmas. So that's a period where I'll be extra careful. I will not be taking leverage positions at this time. Just in case there's any sudden movements up or down that liquidates a position. So just be aware that the trading volume gets a little bit thin around the weekends. And sometimes what happens when the trading volume is very thin is that we have like these arrows that go down. Like say what happens is like, oh, if the market falls a little bit, it causes a cascading reaction, which causes everything to dip. And then the market instantly recovers afterwards. So just be careful. Weekend, you know, it's coming. It's coming, guys. It's coming. The volatility is coming, which is good for some people and not good for everyone else. So just be careful around those days. So I'm being careful here. I'm more strategic on my positioning, but I have not sold any Bitcoin or Ethereum. In fact, I reentered Ethereum during around 640. So, yeah, I'm very, very like bullish right now because right now it just seems like to be the case where the setup is just perfect for it. We've been saying that for the entire year. In fact, I've been preaching that since like since the whole coronavirus thing. I was telling everyone, yo, you guys, you're like this world setup is perfect for crypto. Unfortunately, like the world's going to go to burn. But crypto is a way to leave this world, right? To leave those troubles behind. So looking at Ethereum, same very, very similar story here. We got this. Something that's very interesting right now is that recently like we have a local point of resistance here. So it seems like, sorry, not resistance, support here. So we have support around 630. It's actually pretty good. Like a few of, I think people were expecting Ethereum pullbacks at a certain point, but not really, not very strong. So yet again, yeah, this is why, like, especially with the developments around ETH, I think ETH has a lot of promise. That's my current take on it because ETH, there's so much development in the DeFi scene. The DeFi scene is coming back up again. Everyone's taking notice of DeFi. Altcoins are a lot, very much based on Ethereum. And then when altcoins move, ETH always, almost always moves up with it too. So that's why, yet again, I'm taking those Ethereum positions at those current points. All right. So what drove this? What was kind of on the weekend that caused everything to move up? We got the biggest thing Elon Musk was tweeting, you know, me trying to live a normal, productive life in Bitcoin, right? That's, I don't know how Elon comes up over these memes, right? But it's very clear from that tweet around 18 hours ago that Elon was heavily looking at Bitcoin. I want to follow this conversation up as well. I mean, everyone started like, the people started liking this. Like, you guys, he's 320K likes. He's getting all those Elon fans, right? We know Elon Musk. He's like, all those Tesla maniacs. They are now starting to understand Bitcoin as well, right? With Elon tweeting this. So we got Michael Saylor commenting on this. This is kind of interesting. So say, if you want your shareholders, if you want to do your shareholders of 100 billion favor, convert your Tesla balance sheet from USDC to BTC. Other firms on the S&P 500 will follow your lead. And in time, it will become a 1 trillion favor. And then it's kind of interesting. Elon immediately replied up here and says, are such large transactions even possible? And then there was actually a reply here too. And as you see the replies and, you know, SBF is like, yep, you betcha. You betcha it is. And that's kind of the crazy part about Bitcoin, right? I think like I talked to Bitcoin to a lot of my friends and they're like, oh, I want to buy $10,000 of Bitcoin. Is there even not for liquidity? Dude, billions, okay? Billions. Even like SBF will personally handle, Sam Bankman-free will personally handle Elon's $100 billion favor if need be, right? Like crypto has like, especially Bitcoin has a huge amount of liquidity. Not even just Bitcoin, but like we're looking at the graph. The graph had like a billion dollars of trade volume on this weekend. And it's like an altcoin, right? So talk about the main objectives here. We've got Peter Schiff jumping on this. Like Elon, don't fall for this. Khan, Michael, like all involved in Bitcoin. Permit scheme must recruit new buyers into the scheme to keep it going. Do leave Tesla shareholders holding the same bag as MicroStrategy shareholders. I mean, dude, this guy, how does this guy even have reputation at this point, right? How is this guy even, how does this guy even have followers? Like he's like consistently wrong. Like, come on. Like you've been telling people like this is, I just want to punch that guy in the face, man. Like if, like the worst part, I think why I'm emotionally involved in this, because I did listen to people like him, right? 2012, I did listen to idiots like him. Oh, Bitcoin, $10 is going to go to zero. Think about it. It had no value before. It pumped a thousand percent. It's going back down to zero. Come on. Come on. Come on. So dumb. So dumb. Shift is a devil. Now, it's not really the point of the devil. I think it's just, he's just wrong. Like people like this year or something I've learned this year is people who are wrong, they can't face it. They have cognitive dissonance, right? They cannot compute that they are wrong. Even though all the evidence supports the idea that they're wrong. Like if he actually bought Bitcoin when he told people to sell it, he would have made millions of dollars by now, right? But his brain can't compute. It's like, oh, no, I don't want to do the math to say how wrong I was, how much money I would have made if I bought Bitcoin. This is cognitive dissonance, right? Like they got to keep digging that hole. Like they cannot compute this. So then they'll keep saying random stuff that contradicts what's happening in the real world, right? The real world evidence is pointing to the fact that Bitcoin is an exit to this current chaos that's happening in 2020. Oh, my God. All right. So let's take a look at everything else. So that was the conversation. Oh, by the way, the newest updates on the Elon stuff is that Elon's tweeting about Dogecoin. Like he's going like, oh, Bitcoin is just as bad as fiat. Let's go for Bitcoin. Let's go for Dogecoin. And he's kind of crazy, too. So anyways, that's a recent follow up on that. OK, so we have some rumors of, oh, there's some from FUD that came in last week. Rumors, U.S. wallet restrictions. You know my take on this. It depends on how they implement it. It seems like the U.S. exchanges will be affected the most because they have to do it. They have to comply with everything. So Coinbase was very adamant about this new upcoming restriction that they don't like it. But the biggest problem is how are you going to enforce it? The problem is the enforcement of this will be literally impossible, right? I think they're going to enforce it. So what is this? They don't like software wallets, right? They don't like self-custody. That seems to be the biggest problem. And they might target new exchanges that take on cryptocurrencies over a certain amount if they come from a self-custody wallet. So we'll have to see how this goes. But it feels weak. Weak. All right. I thought this was interesting. Kickstarter. NFTs are the new way for indie games to raise fundraise. So we saw this with Rev. We saw this with Sandbox. We saw this with other games. It does seem like a way to raise niche games. I think this is where indie comes in, right? Right now, a lot of the games that use trading, I'll talk a lot more about trading because I have a game design background. So for major titles, it's very, very hard for them to implement crypto for two reasons, right? One is because they just plain don't need it. I think this is the biggest reason no one in crypto is talking about, which is that they don't need it. Fortnite, Blizzard games, Hearthstone, they're games built around not trading. They explicitly ban trading for a reason, which is to increase the revenue. It's like at the end of the day, revenue is king, right? They need to generate more money, especially free to play games. So I feel like I get super angry when a lot of people, especially NFT scene, they say that games, big games are going to adopt crypto. Not at this current point, but this is where indie comes in, right? Independent games, the ones that are more niche, they target and they design a game around trading. We saw that with Crypto Cuties, Blockchain Kitties. Like these are very small games. In terms of the gameplay, there's not much, but people love it. There's a lot of money here. So that's where it's at. That's where it's at, guys. Next up, we have a launch token coming up. We have DuckDow. The Duck token is coming up. The farming is coming up today. It's releasing today is what I'm getting excited for. So quick shout out to DuckDow community. They're being crazy phenomenal. Their coin is just doing like bananas right now. It's like I looked at it. The DuckDow dime was just doing crazy. And that's one of those situations where a lot of people were asking me, okay, look, I joined DuckDow around three months ago. What do I think? And initially I was like, you know what? Let me give these guys a try. But they are active AF. And that was when like it kind of accumulated. And holy crap, this is becoming the first 10x of this season for me at the very least. It just blew the hell up over this weekend. So what is DuckDow Dime? So just kind of explain what this is and what the Duck launch is because it's a separate project. So first and foremost, DuckDow Dime is the community for the DuckDow incubator. So this is where you get to join the community to get to take part of new projects that they are incubating. So if you look at the projects that they are incubating, Pools is coming up. Bondly was good. Base, Geek, DeFi, Pi, Fuse. All of these projects did phenomenally well. So you get to participate if you hold the DuckDow dime. And also you get to participate in chat discussions. So I would say, yeah, chat discussions very, very much worth your time and effort to figure out what's the heat on a certain coin. I mean, that's one of the most valuable assets. And that's why you get the DuckDow dime. You get to participate both in the sales and into the discussion groups, too. Now, the new coin that's coming up is called the Duck Liquidity Pools. In essence, it's a multifunctional coin. And yes, I did. Like, full disclosure, I did invest into this very early on. And what it does is it provides it is a coin that was raised capital to invest into market making for the new tokens that are being incubated on DuckDow. But this coin also has additional benefits for the NFT game and for everything else in the whole ecosystem in terms of what they have right now. So the coin is designed about around farming. So it's designed so that if you hold DuckDow dime, which kind of ties everything together. So if you hold DuckDow dime, you can start farming the duck token. So this is why also in very many ways it's also moving up because people are anticipating the launch of duck and they want to farm it. But note, of course, that if you are farming this, right, if you're farming, the farming is designed a way that encourages long-term holders. And this is very, very key here. So only participate this if you believe in the system, which I do. So that's for me a check. But one thing to note is that when you do farm the duck token, you're going to get this for free. But you're going to permanently lock your DuckDow dime. You're going to lock your DDIM into the pool and it will not come out. So this is very important. Note. So it's really about determination. If you're determined to farm it, you get these coins, duck tokens for free. If you don't, well, yeah, that's not for you. But it's for all the pros that know what they're doing right now at this current point. But the reason why they do this is because they have a deflationary effect on the duck token. It gives the duck token a lot more use case because you have only committed people who are buying it, which is super important, right? You have people who believe in it, buying it. They're not just merely speculating on it. And this is one of the kind of like when I was talking with the project about this, when I was talking to the DuckDow guys about this, we wanted committed people. That was the design. We wanted people who are committed to this and know what they're doing. Otherwise, well, you know, we're not giving out free coins for nothing, right? So that's kind of key here. So anyway, so I looked at this side of it, the farming aspect of it. So people who can farm it, people can also just buy off the market. It's going to be crazy launch today. Now, so looking at the comments, we got talk about Badger. We got to talk about DuckDow die. Poor people who didn't get into DuckDow. DuckDow is just insane, man. All right. Okay, taking a look at more news. Let me just go through the news as fast as possible. So this is kind of key, right? So Hacker, Hacked Ledger database dumped on Raid forums. So people saw this database and this has been released everywhere. So what's the core behind it? So the data was stolen all the way back in June 2020. So if you order the ledger prior to 2020, then there's a case that the hackers got access to your email and your address. All right. This is like horrific. And like, I don't know how this happened. Previously, because it happened in June, previously it was circulated around some smaller hacker groups. Fine, right? It's like small numbers of people have it. But now because it's posted on Raid forums and I think it was for free, people are downloading this like mad. So just be very careful, guys. So the key now is to be very careful. You have to be super careful in crypto. So yes, a few things, right? First and foremost, the ledger itself is not broken, right? All the technology that keeps your cryptocurrency safe, that's not broken. The ledger is fine and I use ledger. It's like I'm not going to stop using ledger, right? None of the software, none of the device problems are problematic. But the issue here is your address, right? So because it ties your email and your address, just be watchful for ledger fixes or ledger repairs. There's no need to repair your crypto. There's no need to fix anything. What you're getting right now are phishing emails. People are tempting you to scam you because they have your email somewhere, right? So this is what you have to watch out for. So it's not about the ledger itself. It has nothing to do to the ledger. The ledger is safe. There's no problem with that. But it has to do with your email and your address, right? These two things are super powerful. Some hackers can send you emails and say, yo, your cryptocurrencies are being hacked. Go log on this now and connect your ledger and download this. Then you're screwed. Okay, don't do that. Do not do any of that, right? Don't click on any links that's sent to you by email telling you your ledger's hacked. That is a scam, right? This crypto is filled with scams. This weekend I've also spent some time dealing with just scammers and imposters. And I just want to say this now. Dude, guys, verify identity. Some people are just sending these scammers money and it's like, holy crap, why? All right? Like people can fake emails. They can spoof emails. They can pretend that email is coming from another location. Please, guys, please, please, please do your proper research. This is where you do not want to degenerate, right? If you want to be a total degenerate, this is not the place to be. You have to be smart here. Don't download anything that you're not supposed to. Don't click on any links you're not supposed to. Keep that key. All right? I cannot emphasize that enough. On that note as well, ledger users threaten legal actions after a hacker dumps personal data. So it seems like people are super angry. They just want to freaking attack ledger for that. And I think, dude, they need some compensation for sure, man. Holy crap. Leaking people's personal data. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Just be careful, guys. Be careful. Be careful. All right. Next up, we got just some funny articles I saw. We got early Bitcoin dev misses out on 1.3 billion after selling too soon. Sucks to be. But obviously, this is like a clickbait title. I got baited. You know, obviously, this guy has a lot of Bitcoin. He just sold a little bit too early. It's stupid. Whatever. All right. Taking a look at cryptocurrency news as well. So everyone's talking about this is the Reddit slash cryptocurrency. Everyone's talking about data breach. Right now, there's some dumps on it, too. I saw this this morning. People were dumping the database there. I would say, guys, just be very careful. All right. I saw a lot of files being circulated. People wanted to check if you're on the list or not. I would say don't do it if it's a raw file. All right. I saw people sending out these raw files. I'm like, nope, I'm not opening that on my computer. Like, that needs to be quarantined ASAP. All right. Like, these files, don't download random files on the internet. Even if you're concerned, right? There's nothing you can do about it now. Even if you're concerned, stop downloading, like, raw files. Be smart. All right. Be smart here. New FinCent proposed rules has been released. So, oh, this is the one that they're reading through. And, yeah, it's pretty disastrous. So we'll have to follow this. Yeah, I'll follow this soon. Apparently, this is good news. I just read the end about this. This is definitely a Monero show talking about this. And this is where kind of the anonymous coins comes in, right? Absolutely. Go Monero. But anyways, it's how I read news now. Like, I'm like, what's the motivation? Oh, that's a Monero show. Okay, that's great. Cool. Thanks. Now I know. Okay. So Doge Coins tweeted. Elon's tweet sent Doge going up 25%. Elon's just trolling like a crazy guy right now. Yeah, pretty much that's pretty much it so far. All right. So, all right. And we've got one more last update here as well. We've got Cyberfy beta event is coming. If you guys have been following, I did actually buy something to some Cyberfy. They've been doing phenomenal, by the way. Their beta launch is coming. And this is all about blockchain automation. It automates yield farming. And with yield farming coming up, this type of automation actually becomes really important. And this was where I have a good transition to yield farming and all the farming that's going on at this current point. So Cyberfy, check out the beta if you are interested in automating your stuff online. So what we'll do now is I'll do a quick kind of catch up on all the questions and comments. And then we'll talk about the next section, which is farming. And then we have a next topic, which is DGEN. So we have quite three topics planned for today. So we've got the news out of the way just now. So just a shout out, guys. If you just joined right now, we have 500 people joining right now. So guys, smash up those likes. It really does help. I hate doing this. I hate begging people to smash up likes. It's not something that I would generally do, but it does help this channel. So like, you know, it does help. It does help getting everything out there. So anyways, smash those up. Really do appreciate it. Let's push to 200 today. All right. We have 500 people here. Let's push to 200, guys. Do that. Do that. Do that. We got, okay. I'm twisting the game cryptos. Elon, shake my head. Shaking my head. I'm SMSMH, man. Elon, man. He's just trolling hard right now at this current point. He's like, no, guys. No, guys. He's like, he's becoming a number one Dogecoin show at this current point. He's, yeah, if you just look at his recent tweets, it's come for the comments, date for the memes. What was that? One word, Doge. One word. Bitcoin is almost as BS as fiat money. One word, Doge. This is his shameless Dogecoin tweet at this current point, which just popped Doge off like crazy. That guy's hilarious. That guy is hilarious. Hilarious, hilarious, hilarious. We have so much, so many comments here. Crypto Queen Kiwi says, I smashed the like button when you talk about punching Peter Schiff in the face. Yeah, man. Punch that like button like Peter Schiff's face. God damn it. I got like people like Peter Schiff caused me to not get into crypto in 2012. Like God, God. Like I could have got, I could have been a lot better right now. I could be a lot better off. You know, mining 2012 made a lot of mistakes back then. Now not making the same mistakes today. Fun times. Fun times. All right. We've got Angela Wang saying, if you listen to the podcast, please leave a five star rating. Leave a comment. It really helps to keep things going. Absolutely, guys. So Bitcoin out of the box is my podcast. Let's get some more ratings up there, guys. Like you can listen to it on Apple podcast, Spotify podcast. But if you are an Apple person, yes, like please, please do, do, do write some comments. It really does help. I'm we starting this up like the way the podcast works and the podcast system works. It's like I'm still very new to this, to be honest. Like, like the way it works, right? Like these are the longer term interviews. They're much longer and they're much more suitable as a podcast, right? Like the full versions on there. You can talk for hours on end. And this is where you're going to get more information. So the way the podcasts are working right now is that a lot of the interviews that I do, the full length interviews are here. But then on YouTube, I have to cut it down because people lose attention. On YouTube, you have to worry about all this like retention, time retention and everything. So it's like it's very edited on YouTube because the way YouTube works. But on podcast, it's much more raw. It's much more informative. And people can just sit there and listen to it on the run, on the go. You can go, you know, when you're running, just listen to a podcast. And this is one of the best ones to listen to. So a lot of people have been commenting, oh, wow, this is this works a lot better on podcast. Like put that on. Like, don't tell me. Put that on Apple. OK, guys, shout out to that. Please, please, please do it. Listen to it when you're working out. And doing stuff. All right. All right. Let's see. Maha Dao. Wow. We're going to talk about Maha Dao in the DGEN section next. We've got Briggs' nice plants box. Thanks for the compliments. Plants are growing well this year. I'm very encouraged. It's much brighter here in the studio. So any plants in the studio grows very, very well. Really happy. Like this one, this fern thing is doing super well, by the way. It's super, super fun. Um. We got, yeah. Let's see. DGEN scammers are the worst. My God. There's too many scams up here. All right, guys. Let's continue on to the next section, guys. So following on farming. Farming has been insane. So I'll tell you guys a little bit about my setup right now. Right. So, um, I'll get my pen out. I'll get my trusty pen. I'll get my tablet out. This is where tablet becomes slightly useful. Let me just make sure everything works here. Um. Yep. This works. All right. Get my pen out. So this is where I'm setting it up right now. So we have BTC, ETH. This is my big pot, right? This is my pot of, pot of stuff. And then we have to make some, um, some VET there as well. VeChain and, um, the mediums, medium coins. If you guys want to know what medium coins I'm invested in, like SwissBorg, uh, uh, SwissBorg, which is doing well, Sporg, uh, we have Utrust, UTK. We have Eng. Eng. So this becomes kind of my medium pot, which I don't touch a lot. Right. I also have a Fiat pot because I have emergency last day funds, but a portion of that Fiat fund is becoming farm. So this is where farming comes in for that passive income, passive income. So this is for me. I'm not a financial advisor. All right. Absolutely not your financial advisor. So please do not take this as financial. It is not financial advice in any means. But this is just how I'm setting it up. So this is where farming fits in my whole ecosystem, my whole portfolio. Why it works is because if you hold Fiat, right, the bank gives you 0.001%, um, AP, um, PY. It is, that's nothing. The bank gives you no money for state, I'm putting money there. Um, the reason why I just have Fiat is because it's just in case of a rainy day, I still need to pay for my like rent and all that stuff. Right. I can pay for rent studio and you buy new camera, whatever. Right. You still, you still like, uh, I'm not delusional enough to say I don't need any sort of Fiat, but at the same time, you know, they're not giving me any money back. The way I'm setting up my farms is that farm now is becoming my biggest source for passive income. So the way I'm designing this is so that this can be used for daily expenditure, right? Daily, daily spend. And, uh, it's been doing great. I mean, if you can get like, say 20 to 60% money back on, on your, on your savings and on your stuff, like that's, that's crazy. Right. So what farms am I in right now? So the biggest wing, the biggest one last week was wing. So wing is for stable. So the way I set up that stable is USDC is set up there and you're getting some pretty good results. So let me just put that in. Um, so for this one, um, so don't, uh, a few people got confused. So USDC is the one I'm depositing in there. And if you just purely deposit, sorry, this is the one, if you just purely deposit. So this is wing.finance. This is ontology. Um, so why, why the yields are good is because you have to cross chain, right? So you actually have to do some work. So no work, no money, right? You got to do some work. You got to figure out how to do the asset swap. Check out the wing video if you guys haven't done that. So already that was about it. So I've set up this wing farm and initially when I made the video, all I did was I deposit USDC and I get both, right? You get both APY from just deposit and you get wing APY, which adds up to right now to around 30, um, 33%, right? Chinese maps right there. Trying to do some numbers. So 33% APY. So this is already beating a bank, but over the weekend, what I did is something called folding. So you can, you're allowed to deposit your USDC. And I borrowed SUSDP, SUSD, uh, which it costs you money to, to borrow it, right? It costs you a little bit of money to borrow. It costs you 27.799%. This is a cost, right? But you also get a reward of 30% in terms of wing, right? So then if you deposit this and borrow this and then save this on another account, you can enjoy another round of, um, supply rewards. And then you can also then borrow USDC on another account and then, um, fold it. This is called folding. Um, I was about to make a video on it, but I was like, no, I'm not spending time making videos this weekend. I need to enjoy my life a little bit. So that's my quickest description on folding. It is extremely dangerous, but it optimizes that yield. It pushes your yield to around 60% or more. So that's, that's great. Like, uh, I'm, I have a huge smile on my face because I'm like, yeah, I'm glad I did that because that was doing super well. So you get wing, um, rewards for just putting your USDC into that. Um, that's been doing great. Not financial advice, blah, blah, blah. But yeah. So that was one of my farms. The other farm is Swissborg. So Swissborg is another farm that I'm in. Swissborg is not complicated. So if that was too complicated for you, the, uh, wing is around, uh, it's around 60%, depending on the price of wing at a certain time, 62, I would say 60, 70%, depending on on a good day. If you can get a good day for pricing on, um, wing on USDC with no impermanent loss. I mean, come on guys. Come on. Um, we got Swissborg as well. Swissborg is around right now. It's around 18%, but it's no, um, like no maintenance required. So you just pop on, go on the app. Um, so I did that on the app like this week. So I put a portion of that on Swissborg. They just started. So a few things, right? So you need, you need the app. Okay. So the referral codes down there. Yes, it does help the channel out, um, a bit, but, um, that shouldn't have shown you guys that. But anyway, so this is my USDC account on there. Um, and you can start earning your yield. So right now, smart yield right now is roughly around 18% per annum on smart yield on your phone. So this is where, um, this is where you kind of deposit your USDC into it. You just drop it in. You do need to have Swissborg premium, which requires to have 550,000. Um, I'll make another video. You need to, you need to have 50,000 CHSP locked, and then you can get your yield on Swissborg. So that's what I have right now. I do have that locked up. I do have premium. And this also explains why Swissborg is moving up because people are using these services. The way I see this, this is like, this is like way better than a bank. Like that's the way it is. So yep. That's right now. Swissborg is just moving up. It's no show at all. Look at that. Look, look at that insane growth. It's like, I was holding onto this, like the Swissborg was in my medium bag. It's also had it deposited into this, um, into the, the premium account. But like, dude, it just shot up like crazy after the release of the premium yield farming, the yield farming for premiums. I will do a full video covering how to do this. If you guys are interested, but you get roughly around 18% APY and the risk is different, right? It's a different exposure to risk. They're doing some different operations. Um, I've taken a look. So they have farms are different from wing, um, from what I'm seeing it. So it's kind of diversifying my risk. So if something does happen, like it's like touch wood, right? If something does happen on ontology, something crazy, then at least my risk is spread out at this current point. And a lot of people are asking me, like, why am I going back to farming right now? Because the yields are good. Like back in the day, what we saw was that the number of scams were sky high. And that's when I was like, you know what? I'm out of the farming scene for a while, right? It doesn't make sense for me to touch farming because there's like one or 2% chance of getting scammed or something getting hacked. So I was like, you know what? I'm the first one to get in, but I'm also the first one to get out, right? But at the certain current point, when DeFi is coming back in, when everything's moving up again, I'm also the first one to reenter, right? You got to reenter. It's not all dead. So this is when I'm reentering. There's a lot of stuff going on. There's also Badger as well. So this is for Bitcoin. Badger is for Bitcoin. You get Bitcoin in the sets. So you have to deposit into the Ren BTC, RAP BTC. This is the one I'm doing. The Ren BTC, RAP BTC pool. You deposit the liquidity pool into that, liquidity token into that. And then you stake it to get roughly around right now, 44% APY plus. You get Badger and Badger is going to have some crazy stuff happening soon. Like we were talking about Badger the whole day on the BoxMining Telegram channel. And yeah, people are excited for it, man. People are excited because Badger will create a new coin called Dig and Dig is a rebasing coin. So everyone's like, oh my God, this is the coin of the season. The season's favorite coins are all rebasing coins and everyone's super excited for Dig. So yeah, so I'm in that too. So farming Swissborg, farming Dig. I'm also in Pancake. Also Dig and Pancake. And also in Sushi too. I have actually, Sushi was one of the ones that I've never taken out, Sushi. So even though when I was there, I was like kind of leaving farming, I just left whatever. Even if it was like 20% APY, I just left my stuff there. It was fine. It was great. And yeah, farming Sushi has been doing pretty well. So anyways, that's great. So that covers the farming stuff. It's been pretty fun. It's been pretty fun. A lot of work, which is why also a lot of videos are behind schedule. There is a farming. So talking about videos coming up, the mining and farming one is still coming. Like the farming one, not the farming, the actual mining, like Bitcoin mining with the 3070. Let me just grab it. Just give me a sec, guys. I recently started mining again, just for some passive income, just to see what it is about. And also it's a channel called BoxMining. I can't not mine, right? So anyways, I got one of these, like an idiot, because right now it's impossible to get graphics cards. Like it's literally impossible. Like I was like, you know what? Let me be polite. Let me be, let me be nice. Right. Let me, let me like all these gamers wanted. It's a Christmas present. Let me just buy one. I'll test it. I'll show you guys the results. Bam. All sold out this week. Like all graphics cards, like 3070, 3080, whatever you name it, it's all gone. It's all, it's all just like obliterated. It's all like, even the scalpers don't have it. Like in Hong Kong, we have these like scalpers are selling at a 20, 30% premium over the supposed market, the market price. Gone, gone. Everything gone. But yeah, it's like, I don't get it. I don't get it. Anyways. So yeah, I tried, like, because, you know, I'm setting up my farm, my mining unit. And I was like, you know what? I need like four of these now. All right. Like legit. I need four of these. No, not getting any, not getting any. So that kind of sucks. That's, that's a bummer. Cause I was like, you know what? Hong Kong is getting cold. Like if this thing is like, you know, it, it, one of these graphics cards is like 300 watts of electricity to power. So you have four of them. That's like what? 1,400. Was it for 1,200 watts of electricity. So it should warm up your, your place. Right. Like, you know, it's free heating. All right. But no, no, no, no, no, none of that. None of that. No, that's not going to work. But the good side. All right. The good side is that we do have, if you're interested in farming, if you're interested, if you like Ethereum very much, we do have Ethereum 2.0 staking. So I made a video on this last week, and this is my current status of my current node that I'm running. So I'm running two of these. One that I did set up for myself. And then the other one that I'm doing publicly, cause you know, you never want to relate. You want, never want to link your public stuff with the real stuff, you know, being smart. But so what's happening here? What's happening here? So reward so far is $950 so far for like less than a week of actual staking. So how does it work? You actually need to set up the whole node on all nodes. You do need 32 ETH. So after depositing 32 ETH, what you're seeing right now is that my node is online and it's getting attestations, right? So this is when you earn a passive income. You can see this is a timeline down here. This is like, let's stretch it all the way down. So everything really started on December the 10th. So this is when the node went online. So it's been 11 days so far since I launched this node. And then it's been effective. It's been okay. So this number should be 100%. I think there was just a little bit of a hiccup. But this number should be 100%. And you need to be 100% online all the time on your node to get your Ethereum 2.0 staking. So it's not like a passive staking where you just deposit it and you're good to go. You've got to deposit it and then run the Ethereum 2.0 node. So all nodes handles this. So basically you're just like, I showed you guys the whole video. It's on a box mining channel. But it costs around $10 a month. And then you can just like deposit it and go. And it just takes care of everything for you. So what I'm seeing right now is just this line gradually moving up. I'm getting more and more Ethereum every day. Yeah, it is a case where the rich get richer. It's not communism and crypto. People think, oh, it's going to be given up for the free. No, you got to have your 32 ETH. And then once you get the 32 ETH, you stake and you get more and more Ethereum over time as you start doing stuff for the network. So you're starting to make these attestations. You have to be online all the time to vote. And yeah, you get some passive income. And right now so far at 100. So it's way more efficient than mining. All right. I'm not going to shit on mining at this current point. But yeah, finding graphics card. No, no, no, no. You're not even going to get it. You're not even going to get it. It's just nowhere close. But you can get your nodes. So if you guys want a cut down video of how to set up your node, it is on here. Ethereum validated nodes. Wait, this one's better. Ethereum staking guide. Got this like clickbait title right there. That's how it works. I take you through the entire process of setting this up, getting your backward backup phrases up, like making sure you have actual possession of your coins. And then of course, setting it up and then getting the deposit contract up and then getting the deposits there, setting up the node itself as well. And then finish. So yeah, make sure you check out the entire video. It's definitely worth a check up for now. Roadrunners is 95, not 950. So yeah, so right now, so far it's $95 in total earning for 11 days of mining. So per week, sorry, not per week, per month, that's around $300 of earnings. That's not too bad. Not too bad. So far, right? So far on this point. So, so how much do you, or surprise, surprise is how much you earn around $300 per month at for, for a single node. So if you have two nodes, 600, we'll have 10 nodes, then it's 3000, right? Magic, magic, magic. But just be careful though. We have a comment from Lama66666 saying, ETH2 staking would be a very long-term move because right now, if you stake your ETH, you cannot come back. Yet again, these crypto commitment things, if you stake it, it's going to be staked there until Ethereum 2.0 starts working until phase one at the very least, which is roughly, right? By programmers saying a year, but you know, programmers speak sometimes it's a year, sometimes it's two years, right? So you gotta be, you gotta condition yourself to think of the worst case scenario. It will launch. It just takes some time at that point. So going back to chat. So that's pretty much about farming. We got a mining cover, Ethereum 2.0, current farms cover, Swiss board covered. That's pretty much what I want to talk about for what I'm farming right now. Roadrunner says, I earn $30 every six days for six times 1060 cards. That's not bad. That's not bad. Especially if you have like free heating. And the reason why you want to get into mining a little bit more is because if gas prices increase on Ethereum, the gas fees get paid to miners, right? So miners will actually increase, will get even more income if Ethereum pops. So, you know, if Ethereum network gets congested. So, you know, miners like, yo, ha ha. Ha ha ha. Which is also why all the graphics cards are sold out. You just basically cannot get any graphics cards at this current point. I was speaking about Hong Kong, but even like around the world, like I saw the US markets, just none, none, zero, zero for the next generation ones. Like AMD stock out of stock, NVIDIA out of stock, everything out of stock. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Michael says, can you withdraw your rewards from staking? At least no for Ethereum 2.0. No, you cannot. No, it's all, all staking on Ethereum 2.0 is on Ethereum 2.0. And right now at this current point, you cannot transfer any assets on Ethereum 2.0. Ethereum 2.0. Like I said, it's like a baby right now. Right now, all it can do is cry. It can't do anything. It can, you can't send crypto on it. You can receive crypto on it. You can do smart contract calls on it. It can't do nothing, right? All it can do is generate a bunch of random numbers. You have to wait until phase one of Ethereum 2.0 when you can possibly, all right, possibly in the pipeline, in the pipeline is sending transactions. So either phase one or phase 1.5, it depends on what the programmers are thinking. I'm always looking at the worst case scenario because I just want to be prepared. You know, you never want to get caught off guard by one of these things. So yeah, that's, that's kind of the way it is. All right. Okay. So that's catching up. We've got Master Benny's his first time here. Welcome, welcome, welcome, man. Welcome. Really enjoy it. It's, this is a very chill session. We just talk about whatever. And yeah, enjoy. If you have any suggestions, comments, do leave it up in the comments. I do read it and see what is coming up. Doc, trade doc says, why is BCH so cheap still? Oh man, BCH. So, so right now we have a lot of attention into all coins and this is when, this is the time. So like I said, the, the, the cats, the, the big cats are sleeping. The big Bitcoin and Ethereum are sleeping. It's when all coins are starting to move. And this is already seen by the graph and then a near while near is just popping. The graph has also been just performing crazy. So very quick. I did promise the graph in the title. So I'll talk a little bit about the graph and kind of why it's, what's so exciting. So the graph, what is it? Right. So there's a way for developers to find information about the blockchain. So like prices, movements, APIs are just basically waste, very, very easy ways for programs or applications to obtain information about a particular profile. So if I say, for example, there's Uniswap APIs that tell you what assets are being traded. And in fact, one of the examples of people using a graph is AstroTools. AstroTools is a tool to find out what are prices for cryptocurrencies. You get a chart, you get a chart Uniswap code tokens, and they do use the graph here. So they do actually actively use a graph and a graph APIs. And that's what the project is all about. So there's a token and governance on the graph. So that's kind of a big summary. So if developers want to make something like AstroTools or they have to interact, well, not that they have to, they can. The graph provides a very easy way for them to obtain information. And it just saves them a lot of time developing and obtaining information. In fact, I've been doing a little bit of programming myself recently. I've been setting up these notification bots that notify me when I get particular coins or when particular coins are at certain prices. And you need to make API calls for it, right? You need to figure out what's happening. That's what the graph is. So the graph got a lot of attention for two reasons. So one is because people can start kind of understanding what it's used for. That always helps them. It's always great for people to actually understand what is going on. The second reason why it got so hyped is because it was very well distributed. It was distributed to a lot of people. And a lot of people were holding the graph and saying good things about it, right? That's kind of how crypto kind of works. The more people that hold your coin, the more it gets. So you have hosted services on a graph that interacts with, say, Uniswap or Compound or Ethereum name service. So it kind of provides all these tools to interact with everything, which means that now it can combine a lot of community together, which meant the graph just popped up. So after graph popped up, it went on a crazy ride. If you look at the past, it's not even 30 days, right? It launched at $0.10 and now it's at $0.70, right? So it's 7x right now from launch and it's listed on Binance and everything, right? So it's been crazy. It's been crazy. It's almost arriving at 1 million market cap with a crazy amount. It's like $3 billion 24-hour trading volume. Of course, you have to put an asterisk onto this because trading volumes sometimes are misreported here. But even on Binance itself, it's $1 billion of trade volume. So this weekend was the week of the graph, right, in terms of the DGIN. By the way, I would label this section right now the DGIN slash shitcoin section. I would, you know, I affectionately say shitcoin. But you know what I mean. Like, it's high risk, right? So guys, if you guys don't like high risk, if you guys are gamblers, just turn this part off. Just like leave this channel, honestly. It's like this will not improve your IQ at any point. So yeah, so we're going to have an explicit warning for the DGIN section next time. But anyways, so that led to a huge rise in something like APR3. So that's the graph this weekend. It just rallied a lot of coins like API3 and also Parsec. Parsec? Parsec. Parsec also had an insane rally this week. Last seven days, you look at that. Boom. Caused by the graph. So anything related to the graph. Like, I've been seeing this weekend. Everything's like, oh, it's like the graph. You know, that's like the most common comment I saw. Yeah. You know this project? All right. That's all this. You know what it really is? It's like the graph. Okay. Good. All right. So, so yeah, that was kind of, that was kind of the two cents on this weekend. This weekend though, I have been stacking up a lot of alt currencies. So like, I've been looking a lot. I've been playing around with a lot of the channels, figuring out it's information gathering time. Right. So on that note as well, I was talking about badger a little bit. Badger farming is getting quite hot. Um, all this like kind of degenerate algo coins, you know, like the rebasing coins have now been rebranded as the algorithmic stable coins. Um, that's apparently the hottest thing this season and it's still not stopping. So congrats to all your ample fourth guys and everyone else. But yeah, it's just insanity right now. Um, there was also frax this weekend. Frax.finance today, this morning. Um, I missed out on this one. I overslept. Um, definitely did not get into frax, but yeah. It definitely popped this morning as well. Every, it's going crazy. We'll do more updates on this. Like if you guys like more talk and more discussion, um, on this, we will do more discussion. We'll try to like, make sure to smash up the notification and subscribe bell down below. For me, I'm far less comfortable publicly talking about all this stuff a little bit because it's super high risk. It's super high risk, right? By the same time, it's super high profit. So we'll figure out a way, good way to talk about it. And, you know, um, you know, when people are, uh, understand what they're doing, it's just like a situation where it's super high risk. But anyways, um, on that note as well, um, I think that's pretty much it. That's all I want to really talk about today. Uh, oh yeah. So on that note as well, just some updates for trust swap. So Twitter here. Trust swap is the project that, um, that I'm kind of currently advising, but also they're doing super a lot of stuff and I'm holding a lot. Um, trust they're doing seven days of Christmas, right? Which is kind of crazy. Um, so recently they got added to a credit card. So check out trust swap integration with credit cards. So now you can actually use swap on the go, which is crazy on connect financial. You can now start spending your swap directly, which is kind of insane. So trust swap has two kinds of primary purposes and use cases for trust drop right now. The biggest use case, honestly, is to get into the new trust swap launchpad projects. Um, yeah, you hold it. You hold your trust swap, you stake it and you get a trust swap rating, which allows you to participate in new projects coming up. So that's kind of the primary use case of that right now. And I feel like that's the kind of biggest one. There's also the, the sending coins on the sending coin purpose, but that's kind of like it's, it's secondary to, to new coins, right? Because right now new coins are popping left, right and center. It's just total insanity. And the last few projects are doing super well. Like coin is actually doing well. Yield is actually doing better now. Uh, super well has actually moved up like a hundred percent over the last week. So yeah, lots of exciting stuff happening. Um, yeah, that's pretty much it. Uh, we got a riff actor says waiting for frax to drop. Yeah. I, I didn't set a timer for this one. Um, frax was this morning. Um, so you, you meant the frax coin, but you, the, the coin you need to mint it is the frax share. So yeah. So I just popped from what 14 all the way up to 30 this morning. It was insane. Um, but yeah, this is, this is the main thing this morning. I have no opinion on it. So one of the reasons why I'm late for today's stream. I was like looking at it. I'm like, how would I rationalize this? Do I get it now or later or what? And I was like, you know what? I have to do a live stream soon. So I did not, I do not have a position in, uh, um, frax at this current point in time. So, all right. So that's pretty much it. Um, um, um, um, um, oh, Nicholas is what's up, man. Crypto man. Crypto is doing super well. It's freaking insane right now. We've got Michael Massey says, I love watching you. Thank you. Thank you so much. And by the way, big thank you to you guys. We've got 230 likes right now. Big, big thank you. I really appreciate this guys. I really do this like live stream to hang out with you guys. It's been super great hanging out. And that's kind of the way this channel has been moving a lot too. We're being much more informal, much more kind of down to the community. And yeah, that's one of the reasons why I do it. It's like, uh, yeah, it's if, if otherwise I'll be just trading every day, which I do. Like it's, it's the point where like this year, uh, these channels, this channel is moving more to a hangout. And then for me personally, I'm spending a lot more time investing. Um, it's just much more profitable. Sorry. Right. Like YouTube, like I look at these YouTube things and like some people are like, Oh, you're a YouTube channel. We can sponsor you. Let's have a call. I'm like, screw you. I don't want to call you. Like, why would I want to call you? Like that would waste me an hour of my time. Like, why would I want to do that? Right. Like everyone's like, Oh, let's call you. We have some like shirts, t-shirts. Like, why would I want? Okay, cool. I mean, t-shirts are cool community, right? We've got these t-shirts, but like these t-shirt making companies are calling happy. I'm like, no, man, I don't care. Like I want to invest. I like crypto, crypto, crypto, crypto, man. Crypto. Like, come on, come on, come on. Move, move, move, move, move, right? That's the current mentality it is right now. And I've been doing a lot more. I'm getting a lot more involved with the Bitcoin center here. Genesis block. They're doing, they have a venture arm. It's going like absolutely nuts right there right now. And, you know, venture side is taking off a lot, which is great. Right. So, yeah, that's crazy. And right now we just have a comment from X, Xeon says Bitcoin 24K. We've got 24K magic baby. I love that when we stream and coin goes up. Yeah. Yeah. 24K magic baby. Time is money. Seth Mason says, can we join the telegram? So I do have a telegram channel up. It's unfortunately moved to a private channel. This is also why before we had links to a telegram channel on this channel and then some asshole scammer took that name. But anyways, the channel, we have a, we used to have a public channel called Box Nation, but that channel is now private, mostly because just to deal with spam and to increase the quality of conversation. And now it's one of the best channel in terms of conversation. Unfortunately, we are not opening that group up. That group is now just permanently private and it's working super well. So congrats to anyone who took the initiative and contributed and got in. It's, it was designed and it is designed to be free, but at the same time, maintenance on that is super hard. And unfortunately, I don't feel like it's right, the right time to open it up and going through another maintenance session. Like I said, time is money. I don't want to go and filter through millions of people just spamming on the channel. So I'm sorry, I'm not going to open it for now, but if you guys do really want to join, there'll be some secret ways to join coming up. So keep tuned, keep tuned. Anyone who's like awesome, like you guys are awesome. Like the problem is, it's not about you guys, right? Like you guys are all awesome. It's not about you guys. It's about those two asshats or like the two asshats that share the link and then share it to like every group. And they say, and people say, oh, bomb this channel of like shitty comments. It's like, it's one or two assholes that screw it up for everyone. It's definitely not you guys. But yeah, if you have some, if keep, keep up to, up to some hints on this channel, you'll see some secret ways to join the telegram channel coming up soon. So there we go. There we go. Vitalik, Vitalik my buterances. When is the right time to take BTC profits? That's actually a really good question. Yet again, not financial advice. For me, I dollar cost average in and a dollar cost averaging out. So like when things are on the move or when things are going up, like we're right now, technically speaking, I should start dollar cost averaging out. It just makes a lot of sense, but I haven't started yet. It's something that I've been thinking about. You know, it's very clear that we're in an upper trajectory. So when you're in an upper trajectory, you can downward dollar cost average out. That's what I was thinking. And when it's going down, you dollar cost average in, right? It's like super easy, right? But it's not as easy as that. So like, there's a lot of stigmas. Like I do want to say there's a lot of stigma around people taking profits in crypto. Like people are, oh, don't sell. You're an idiot. Stop listening to idiots. Like if you need the money, like everyone's situation different. And that's why we always say it's not financial advice. It's everyone's situation is different. If you have profits, if you want to just have a great Christmas, take some profit. Why not? Right. Like enjoy life too. Right. There's no reason not to. So anyways, I'm trying very hard actively to remove that stigma. And that's kind of what I'm doing right now. So, you know, also, you can also go on a lending platform and stick your Bitcoin there and loan out some USDT if you want to spend. That's also another option. You know, that's the power of DeFi. Right. So GG. Putinski says they say only my email. I find my address on that list too. This is referring to Ledger. Unfortunately, it seems to be the case that they did leak both emails and addresses. Like that is not good. That is not good. That's a stupid ass thing. Like that's not cool. So yeah, not cool. Just be careful, guys. Be careful. Yeah. Yeah. That's around it. About Maha. If possible, share your Telegram to Discord. About Maha. Maha Dao. Maha Dao. This is a, Maha Dao was a cool, interesting story. Right. So for me, so from the back end, GB Ventures was looking at. So Genesis Block Ventures was looking into it. And as being part of Genesis Block Ventures, I'm like, okay, look, let's look into it. Let me do some research. So I was helping do the research on Maha Dao. Right. And it was a situation where like, I was doing the research and it's got a lot of hype in India. So I started asking channels around India. Like it's fully not racist. It's just location based. Right. It has a, it's built. It's developed in India. But I was wanting to see if it was popular in the Indian groups. Right. So I was asking around and yes, there was a lot of traction for Maha Dao in the Indian groups and also with the Matic groups as well. So Matic groups, it had a lot of traction there. So I was asking about this and I was, we were deciding it, but in the end, Genesis Block Ventures did take a position up in Maha Dao. And then I just blew up like this. This was just like, this was the canon of this week as well. Right. So it's just like, it just moved from $2 all the way up to 15 right now, which is nuts. If you say me, like, if you tell me, this is crazy. Like yet again, it's a situation where a lot's happening. If you guys want interviews with Maha Dao, we can talk about that soon. You know, if you guys are interested in content and that's that side, they're doing basically it. Like the way I saw it is that they're trying to create a stable coin, right? The Maha Dao itself is almost like the maker Dao, right? Maker for the ETH guys, Maha Dao for the Matic slash guys who are the really blossoming community in India. And by the way, if you guys are in India watching this channel, big, big thank you for watching this channel. So much happening in India. I really want to know what's happening, man. Like it's a big hotbed. Like India, I really need to know what's happening. I really appreciate you guys. If you guys fill me up on that, like I'm not the most knowledgeable about India. I've been there once. All right. I've been there once, but I really want to know more. It's a situation where I want to know what the scene is like in India. I want to know just like a lot more about what's happening. And, you know, I'm more familiar with Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. A little bit about Thailand because GBP has Thailand there. But I want to know that's that's one bit of my knowledge gap that is missing. So I really need to know some more information there. We've got Knife Watch. What if your thoughts on XRP? XPR, Proton. I have no thoughts on that. I have not seen that or touched that recently. So Grezy Young says, should I buy GRT? I don't know, man. GRT is kind of insane. Like I already took profits on GRT. So like I said, I just like went in for like a speculative punt last Friday, but I already took my profits out already. I'm a little bit scared because of just how much is rallying. With these markets right now, you never know how far it can go. Right. I think this is the part about crypto. Like the use case is there. If you're a long term hodler, sure, fine. But short term is going to be crazy because it had it's the big, the strongest performer. Right. It's going up, but we have no idea when it's going to stop. Right. That's the scary part. So anyways, that's, that's my two cents on there. So anyways, guys, that is pretty much it for today. We definitely overrun on the timing for this. More episodes coming up. So make sure you guys smash up the likes. Make sure you guys smash up the subscribe button. Big, big thank you guys for all watching today. Troy says, I see. I see. Excellent. Yes. Love India's input. My ex was from India. Was Indian from Shilam. All those days, man. India has some really good food. So I was actually, so story about India. So I was there for a wedding. So one of my friends had a wedding in New Delhi. So one of the most memorable things I had there was tea. So right. There's a, there's a, there's a park there. And like, when you sit down in the park, some people come up to you and they're like, oh, you want some masala chai? I think that's what it's called, but masala chai is great. So like you're sitting in the park and this random guy comes over with a kettle. Then they heat it up for you. Like in the park, they'll just light up a fire or somehow. Like I forgot how it works, but like they light it up. You get some super hot tea and then you pay them. And then like, it's like pennies, right? They probably overcharged me too because they saw I'm a foreigner, but they probably overcharged me too. But my aunt, that tea was just like, oh, wow. Like simple things in life, simple things, simple things in life. I mean, yeah, it's just like you're sitting in a random park and people come over with your food and tea and stuff. And it's crazy. It's crazy. But yeah, that was, that was my stuff. So DT says Ledger got hacked. It's not Ledger. So I just want to clarify. It's not Ledger, but the Ledger company. And it's not the hack again. It's the same hack, but it's just that the list is now more available. It's more widely circulating at this current point, which is why everyone's alert at this current point. So that's kind of there. Mr. Zhejie says food is crazy. Trust me. Also like butter chicken. I really like butter chicken and naan bread. The only problem with India is there's no beef. I mean, religiously, they can't eat beef. So yeah. So like being me like a carnivore. So that was the only thing. But anyways, that, that's, that was great. Masala chai is like, and you can't really make it at home. That's, that's why I think I am like, I'm, it's memorable because masala chai is super hard to make it. You get like the tea packs, but you also have to put a bunch of herbs in. Now you've got to put like some ginger and stuff and brew it together. It's much harder like that. So anyways, master, master Benny says, where's the teacher from? We, from we wanted, I should make it. I, we were given these out. It just, I got lazy. Like right now, because it's trading season, I'm getting lazy. But yeah, these were, these were my t-shirts that I made. Um, it was kind of fun, but yeah, that's it. So anyways, um, um, I'm wrong. That ledger database got hacked again. It's not spam. It's not spam. It's just that the letter, the ledger base was hacked in June. We all knew about it, but yeah, right now it's just widely circulating. Uh, so yeah. So, um, try, try referring to his ex. So nice. Her dad was a tea farmer, uh, Madura in Australia. Love tea. Same here. I think I'm becoming more of a tea guy than a coffee guy. It's like, it's a recent thing. I think tea just makes me calm. Um, like that's the only kind of like drink I'm drinking. Like during these crypto trading seasons, I actually don't drink alcohol. Um, yeah, it's like a, it's a thing that I'm trying not to drink right now. Like I usually love whiskey, right? I love whiskey. I have a lot of whiskey and like at night, sometimes you just get like whatever you're feeling, right? Some, like something smoky, something peaty, something, whatever, right? Uh, what like a full bodied, but now just nothing, nothing. Because like sometimes during the night, like 2am or something, you have to start trading crypto. And sometimes like, because you're sending large transactions around, you definitely, you definitely don't want to like miss copy paste. Like you accidentally copy paste to wrong address and you're totally screwed. Right. So I actually don't drink alcohol much right now. Um, in fact at all, like I almost never drink. And then I just drink tea. That's like my kind of thing right now. So, um, yeah. Um, uh. Um, Vitalik, Vitalik, my booter and says at box mining, where is this list of emails and addresses online? Has it been widely posted and, or only on the dark web? It's been widely posted. All right. So I saw some links up this morning, which I did not click. All right. Because I'm not dumb. Um, but I saw them widely circulated on publicly at this current point. So not just dark web. Um, it's widely circulated publicly on the open net right now. Um, Kydo says, but maybe box should have a merge store selling these issues. I should, I should, I should. It's something I said I've been meaning to do, but I've been too lazy to do, to be honest. Like, I know it's like, you know, in the YouTube manual, the manual of YouTube says, yeah, you should make some merch. Um, like, yeah. But then like, I'm like, dude, I need to farm. I need to farm. Like time is money. All right. But anyways, um, but congrats to anyone who got it. We gave them on a way on a giveaway. Like I think Ender Wiggins got some, I think Bernard should get some, uh, we, we sent them out to our like admins and everything. So that was kind of it. Um, Shichuan chicken. Shichuan chicken is good. I like general, like I'm so whitewashed. I like general Tao chicken. It's kind of weird. Like talking about food, right? So this is the end. This is, this is what I just go off a tangent talking about food. So it's like, you know, a person is whitewashed when they eat like Kung Pao chicken in a Chinese restaurant, like I always order it here in Hong Kong. And then I always get like, like, like people like, what the hell? What's wrong with you, Michael? Like Chinese people don't eat Kung Pao chicken, but I love that shit. Kung Pao chicken, general Tao chicken. Like, oh man, I love that. Boneless. You got to debone that stuff. Like all the Chinese guys are like, oh, you got to eat it with the, with the, with the bone attached. And it's like the legit ones. But no man, no man. You got to eat boneless, deep fried. Oh, that's good stuff. Hey Nick. How's it going, Nick? Um, Nick's been around for ages and big shout outs to Nick. Bernard's been around for ages too. Uh, chai tea group to the pine says, uh, Troy, chai masala chai, man. I need to find how to make it. Um, JR says in Scotland, we say never trust a man who doesn't drink funny as I'm a recall of cover alcoholic, man. I love to drink, man. I have so much whiskey. It's crazy, but I just like, I can't, I can't right now. It's just like every night I'm like, no, no, no. I got, I got a, I got a farm or something. It's crazy. Uh, Angela Wang says, um, Nick mile, Nick mile is the only admin that doesn't have a t-shirt is because we can't send it out to Russia right now. Like because of Corona virus, we couldn't send it. So like we, we tried to have a t-shirt sending out stuff and we, we, uh, t sending out t-shirts for Hong Kong is a pain in the ass. Like it seriously is. Um, it is just, uh, but yeah. Um, but yeah, so yeah, Angela was helping take care of that. So thanks Angela. I know that, um, James Davis is, Hey brother, have you looked into try Trinity finance? No, I have not. No, I have not. I should, I should. So after this, I'm going to go. So after this, I think personally for me, right? First, personally for me, um, I'm going to go just take a break because after live stream, it's always like, I do want to take a break. Some cyberpunk, maybe it's not a bad game. Everyone's shitting on the game. It's not that bad, but, um, then we're going to go shit coins this afternoon. That's, that's the strategy. That's a strategy. We got, uh, Koi Lois says farm farm is great guys. It's like, it's paying for my Christmas right now. Uh, love it. Love it. It's great. Um, uh, okay. I can't pronounce your name, but Castile Zappes says any incentive to stake sushi or uni right now? Uni has no longer has any staking on the official uni website, but I think there's plenty of places to stake uni. If you actually want to stake uni, I just haven't looked into it. Sushi can just stake on sushi. You're fine. You're fine. Um, Vegeta says, sir, any new ICO on your radar? So recently I got into exceed me. Yeah. I got into exceed me. Um, what else is there? There was maps. Um, yeah, it's, it's a point where I actually don't remember what I invested into right now. Um, just need to look at a list of coins. It's like, this is going too crazy. It's, it's, it's, it's, it is going too crazy. Like, like there's maps. There's also, what else is there? Duck is coming out soon, but that's, that's done. Um, yeah, exceed me. Maybe take a look at that. Um, everything's like crazy right now. Um, it's insane. Um, Steven says, I'm 30 hours into cyberpunk and I barely touched the main story. Same here, man. Cyberpunk is so fun. If you just go around the city, the city, like the story is not the fun part. The city is a fun part. And you gotta have the correct expectations for cyberpunk. First and foremost, don't be a pleb and don't play it on, um, Xbox or PS4. Okay. Like, sorry, sorry, sorry. It doesn't work. Right. It's been proven. It doesn't work. PC master race. You're good. Go right. PC master race guys. Um, this is the only time I can think I can use a pleb, the word pleb correctly, but PC master race. If you have a 10 80, 20 80 or a 30 80 or 30 70, um, graphics card, you are good, man. You are super good. Like there's, um, there's a patch up, but like there is a way to optimize. So you get 60 stable FPS, um, on like it's with RTX on. Like I finally got that. It took me like three hours to figure it out, but I finally got it. Uh, PC master race. Right. But yeah, it's fun. And once you're playing around a city, it's just like, I think it's just, it's just, it's, it's a game that's like, it's not, it's not the most groundbreaking. Like I think people's expectations were really high, but if you think about it, there are just so many fun things you can do in that game. Like, yeah, there's so many ways to play the game and so many ways to interact with the game, which is super fun, but that is it. Um, okay. So that's pretty much it. Um, we got Angela Wang says, let's get to 300 likes. Cool. Guys, let's do it. Let's do it. And you guys are still sticking around. We finished the crypto news and stuff, man. It's a, it's a chill session. We're talking about food now. I guess everyone's hungry. So for me, why I talk about food a lot right now is because I'm doing intermittent fasting as well, which means that in the morning I don't eat. So prior to the stream, I wake up, I don't eat. I just drink water, like no sugar, nothing. And then I wait until after the stream. Um, so roughly right now, my eating window is roughly around 12 to one here. One probably starting at 1 PM in Hong Kong time. So yeah, this is why my food is always on my mind. But the good news is I'm dropping a little bit of weight. Like, like I'm trying to make this like bull run a little bit different. Um, you know, like I was saying, and I think I took this joke from Leo actually. So Leo is one of the guys at Machi X. He was like, my weight's proportional to the Bitcoin price. And this time with Bitcoin rallying so hard, I'm like, no, I can't take that. I can't take that. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't go exponential like that. I'm going to be a big fat ass soon. So, so yeah, so intermittent that, but dieting, it's, it's working quite well. Um, but it also makes me super hungry in the morning. Um, Giovanni says, Michael, are you bullish on injective? Sure. Why not? Injective has been doing super well. Actually. Um, I took some profits on the way up, but I'm keeping around 80%. Why not? Like, yeah, it's been doing super well. I was like, I saw injective and was just like, Whoa, it's like, it shot up from like a dollar to like four, almost to four. It's crazy. And they're doing the dislodge of solstice test net. They're doing, they're having great communication. They're doing an exchange. Why not? It's, it's for me, I put it in the long-term huddle section. So I don't really touch it and look at it, but it's doing super well. So yeah, congrats. Um, yeah, that's pretty much it. Um, Blink course is good on you. Got a family member also doing this type of fasting. I think the great thing about intermittent fasting is it cuts down on midnight snacking. I used to like eat cookies at midnight, which is like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Don't eat cookies at midnight. Don't eat chocolate or cookies at midnight. Um, uh, Vitalik, my brother, is a box money. Do you regret not converting your 32 ETH to BDC before staking it? Not having flexibility. Doesn't that hurt you long-term, your long-term strategy? Absolutely not. Um, there's also FTX, right? Um, like there's so many powerful tools on FTX. Like you can use an account leverage and take a, you can also short, like if you really don't like ETH, like say if you have ETH 2.0 and you don't really like it, you can always take up an ETH perpetual. So you can short ETH here and long Bitcoin. That's always an option. So I don't think it limits my flexibility in any way because I'm pretty much like a power user on FTX, which means I can play around with all the crazy stuff there and not get liquidated because I'm not retarded. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I should change my language, but, um, so it doesn't really affect me much, uh, at all whatsoever. So the fact that I know it's there and it's safe is the most important part. And then I can play around with my other finances in that sense. So yeah, pretty much. That's also why FTX is just blowing up. Like all power traders are using FTX. I think referral code down below, if not, then I'm stupid. But, um, yeah, let's check out FTX. They're doing some crazy stuff. Um, it's one of the things that I didn't really, um, com stat, um, box money, the CEO slash FTX. So one of the things that I didn't jump onto, like, um, I didn't really jump onto the FTX bandwagon when it was first here, I was being stupid. Um, and all the traders in GB were like, oh, we're on FTX and we're in FTX shirts. And I was like, oh, you guys, it's going to fall and drop in price, but nope, FTX is doing better. It's doing better and better and better and better and better. And Sam's a genius. And like this year I was like, I got to wake up, do stuff, figure this out. And I figured everything out and it worked very well. Also some crazy stuff. If you are in GRT, I think this is still applicable right now, but okay. So if you are in GRT and this is something that I did as well, um, all right. So if you are in GRT, instead of actually holding and buying GRT on Binance, what some people can do, and this is something that's submitted by Charlie. So congrats Charlie. So what you can do is instead take up a long position on FTX reason being is because first of all, the long position is cheaper than on Binance. So if you look at it, the Binance price is Binance.ing. Let's check out markets, GRT. Um, GRT. All right. Let's see. Yeah. So Binance, Binance is 69 cents 33 for spot, right? So 69 cents 69.3 cents for spot. But for FTX, the perpetual long is a little bit cheaper. So you gotta, you gotta 0.2 cent discount there, but also you can look at funding rates. So if you hold a long position on FTX, you also get a funding rate. And, um, you also get a bonus of 0.01% 174% for just holding the long. So instead of just buying spot and pulling that coin, you can buy the long and people were moving that. Like I was like, the traders were doing that this weekend. They're like, Oh, Hey, check out the, the, the GRT perpetual future position. And I'm like, Oh my God, you guys are min maxing like crazy. Like that's, that's so smart. It's so smart. Like if you're holding 10,000, you can migrate the asset over to a perp. Um, and then you can get funding rates, but of course you got to browse the funding rate every hour because FTX changes this funding rate every hour. And, uh, yeah, this might not hold, but it's a, it's a way to get APY on your, on a GRT. If you are into that sort of stuff, it's kind of. Next level trader plays here at this current point, but. You know, that's life, right? So yeah, with that guys, um, if you guys want to join FTX or join as exchange, I don't think it's open to us customers, but anywhere else, I think. Yeah. It's, it's just so much power. Um, if you know how to use it, it's like, wow, mind blown. But the biggest problem is do you not use it? All right. So video is coming up soon. Hopefully if I have time, but if not, then. Um, yeah. Um, metal burns is, did he mention map? Yeah. Map. Um, um, uh, Vitalik, Vitalik, my beautiful friend says, thank you, bad box. Mine.

And it'll be super fun guys. So guys, thank you guys so much for watching today. And I'll just do the outro right now and let's go do the outro. I like to take the time now to tell you a little bit about everything that's happening in the box mining ecosystem. First and foremost, if you guys like listening to all that's happening in crypto on the go, then I would highly recommend you checking out the box money Bitcoin out of the box podcast. And the reason why it's called Bitcoin out of the box is because we have a long interview segments, very much exploring the detail of the newest and latest of what's going on in this whole cryptocurrency space. Whole idea of it is to bridge that gap between knowledge, privileged institutional investors and the rest of us here in this space. Now with the podcast, it's on everything. So it's on Apple podcast. It's on Google podcast. It's on Spotify. Just search anywhere Bitcoin out of the box. So just add that onto a playlist and I just follow the new episodes when it's released. Next up, we also have the box mining newsletter. So this happens roughly bi-weekly. We give you an update of the latest that's going on in a very summarized condensed format. So this is perfect for anyone that wants an overview of the market. Say for example, what's happening with OKX, the biggest event, or maybe the little things like what's happening with different coins and overall the trend. So what I use the newsletter for personally myself is to understand what kind of phase we're in in crypto to kind of get kind of in tune. So if you don't read crypto every day, the newsletter is perfect for you. Last but not least, in the link down below, if you're a Telegram user, we have the box mining announcements channel. So this is to announce you basically what's the latest videos coming up. But also we have a daily update, a community driven daily update to provide you an idea of the latest updates on a day. And a lot of people have been using that to get informed of the crazy amounts of trends that we see. And I have to give a big thank you for Claudio, our community member for doing this. It's just been phenomenal. Definitely want to give you a shout out there, Claudio, as well for that. And taking us to the end of the live stream. So make sure number one, you click like and subscribe on this video because it really does help this channel. And then, of course, check out the podcast. It's one of the best ways to know a little bit more, to extend that knowledge, especially in your spare time. And then, of course, check out the newsletter. If you want those updates and summaries and trends, newsletter is the place for you. And with that, guys, thank you so much for watching this video. I really hope you have a good one. See you in the next video. Oh, by the way, for those of you who stayed, I just got this, which is super exciting. Oh, wait, my camera just died too. Oh, congrats. That's good. But yeah, I was going to show you guys my PlayStation controller, but it just seems like my camera just died. Let me just double check the camera. Does that work now? Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. All right. Cool. That was great. Why? Why? It doesn't work. Oh, there you go. All right. So I just got this. This is the closest thing I'll ever get to a PlayStation 5 this year, which is the PlayStation 5 controller. So I thought, why not do an unboxing now? So I just, this is new. I completely did not get it. This is the worst way to unbox it too, but why not? Let's see. Boom. Boom. So the reason why I bought this, just the control, right? Just the controller is because you can play PC games with a controller, right? So, um, this is the, ooh, this is the new one. So, but the unboxing experience, ooh, it's actually heavy. It feels good. It feels good. Like, like I was like, I saw a lot of people raving about this one, right? So, um, I bought it. I'm going to use it to play, um, games with my PC, right? But sometimes like for Assassin's Creed and stuff, you'll, you'll actually want a, a cool, like a better, oh, this actually feels heavy. Like this is actually like, um, like for comparison, like, so what I play, like, um, when I play games, I usually, if I need a controller, I have my PlayStation 4 controller, right? Um, and this, I feel like, dude, this is like, this is like at least 1.5X heavier. And it just feels weight. It feels like it's weighted, which is great. Um, cause I, I read, I saw the reviews. They say there's a lot more precision on this and you can connect this straight up to your PC. So technically speaking, you can just go USB type C cable, plug that in. And, you know, I'm migrating to USB type C, plug that in and, um, play some steam games. So I'm pretty excited for that. Actually, I just bought this yesterday. It seems pretty cool. Um, yeah, initial impressions like this is made super well. So I think this is the closest I'll get to a PlayStation 5 this year. Um, yeah, that's, that's cool. That's cool. I'm just buying random stuff for myself this week. So, so Merry Christmas to me, I guess. So anyways, that was, uh, that's the ending finale guys. Thank you guys so much for watching guys. Um, see you guys next time. Um, we've also got Giovanni Toro. So this is anyone who uses boss to order more than one PS5 is a douche. Exactly. Don't be a douche. So there you go. Um, black film guild says when is crypto going back down at box mining? No one knows, man. No one knows. I don't, I don't, I don't like maybe Chinese new year. You can wait for a discount. But, uh, for the time being, I think we're at the start of something pretty crazy. So there you go guys. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
