AI Analysis
Here’s a full summary of the video, capturing the main topics and key insights:
This video dives deep into the latest happenings in the crypto world, starting with the surprising front-page appearance of Bitcoin in a major Hong Kong newspaper, signaling growing mainstream awareness. It then shifts to a comprehensive look at the booming DeFi and yield farming scene, explaining the mechanics, potential rewards, and significant risks like impermanent loss, all while sharing personal experiences and strategies.
Here are the key topics and technical details discussed in the video:
* Bitcoin’s Mainstream Splash in Hong Kong: Bitcoin made the front page of "Apple Daily," a major Hong Kong newspaper, with a powerful message: "Bitcoin will never ditch you. Banks, today you're not ditching me. We're ditching you." This highlights Bitcoin as digital money not controlled by governments or corporations, signifying its importance during times of political turmoil. The presenter is incredibly excited by this, seeing it as a smart move that will likely spread across Asia as people realize their assets are at risk with traditional banks. Genesis Block is even offering fee-free Bitcoin ATM usage in Hong Kong this week to capitalize on the moment.
* Market Overview and Whale Activity: Bitcoin and Ethereum were pretty stable over the weekend, with Bitcoin getting rejected above $12,000. There’s a theory that a whale who accumulated 9,000 BTC at $6,000 decided to cash out $54 million, contributing to that rejection. The market is now in a potential accumulation phase for new whales. While Bitcoin cruises, altcoins like Aragon, Nem, SiaCoin, Cosmos, Bat, Algorand, Swipe, and Zcash are "blowing up," showing significant movement.
* DeFi and Yield Farming Explosion: The decentralized finance (DeFi) scene is absolutely "kicking off huge." YFI (also known as "Wifey") has seen insane price increases because no new tokens are being issued. Many friends who went "all in berserk" on mining YFI are now extremely well off. This success has sparked a "yield farming revolution," leading to many YFI clones like YFLink, YFValue, and even funnier ones like "grapes," "yams," and "spaghettis." Everyone is trying to capture that original YFI value.
* Understanding Impermanent Loss and Smart Contract Risks:
* Impermanent Loss: This is a big risk in yield farming, especially in liquidity pools where you pair two different tokens (e.g., YFV and YFI). If one token loses value very quickly, you suffer a loss compared to just holding the tokens separately. The presenter experienced this with YFFI, which dropped from $40 to $20, and learned to manage risk by tolerating certain dips if the rewards are still good.
* Smart Contract Risk: This is the risk that a smart contract (the code running the DeFi protocol) has vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit to steal funds. Once deployed, these contracts can't be changed, which offers trust but also means a flawed contract remains flawed unless a new one is deployed. YFV, for example, is still awaiting an audit, making it risky. You can check for modifications in the code by comparing it to previously audited contracts. The presenter feels the risk is medium because of the huge financial incentives for hackers. Audited protocols like Curve DAO offer lower risk but also lower annual percentage yields (APYs).
* Personal Experiences and Warnings: The presenter has been intensely involved in farming, finding it a nightmare to manage funds across different accounts and hardware wallets due to the precision required. A friend even lost 1 Bitcoin by sending it to the wrong address, highlighting the unforgiving nature of crypto transactions. There’s a strong warning against "degenerate gambling" in this space: do not put your life savings, leverage your house, or go into credit card debt for crypto. It’s for those using only a small percentage (0.1-2%) of their net worth. The presenter advises against emotional decisions, emphasizing the need for a well-planned, logical strategy.
* YFII Finance ($YFII): Initially, YFII, a Chinese YFI clone, was seen as a scam. However, after extensive research, including speaking to the anonymous developers, observing their development (building vaults), and seeing support from respected figures like Dovi Wang, the presenter found it to be legitimate. This project eventually delivered and gained excitement, despite initial skepticism and insults directed at the presenter for even looking into it.
* Radix and Filecoin: Radix is an upcoming project that many people are excited about, and the presenter is actively researching it. Filecoin is also on the horizon and needs to generate hype, especially after Polkadot's successful price surge. Both Polkadot and Filecoin are highly anticipated projects within the Chinese crypto community.
* Polkadot ($DOT) and Ecosystem Strategy: Polkadot, built by Gavin Wood, has climbed to #10 on CoinMarketCap and is very popular in China, now gaining traction in the West. Its ecosystem includes projects like Darwinia (K-Ton and Ring). The presenter's strategy is to sell older ecosystem projects that have already seen large gains (like Ring and K-Ton) and look for newer projects within the Polkadot space that are still in their early hype phase, even though new projects come with their own risks regarding delivery.
* CRV (Curve DAO Token) and DIA: The presenter is actively mining CRV (Curve DAO Token) but immediately sells most of it, keeping only 10-20% for profit. This strategy avoids the "huge dump of mentals" from daily miner distribution, especially for early-stage coins with low circulating supply and high fully diluted valuations (CRV's is $9 billion!). For DIA, an oracle solution, the presenter directly bought it, seeing it as an interesting play following Chainlink's success.
* China's Stance on Crypto and BSN: China is definitely "not lenient" on crypto. The launch of DCEP (China's digital currency) coincided with the closure of many over-the-counter trading desks and crypto-related accounts. China dislikes public networks it cannot control, leading to most crypto activity being underground. The Blockchain Service Network (BSN) has even split into a China-specific, government-controlled version and an international version, underscoring China's desire for control.
* YFLink ($YFL) and ZZZ.finance ($ZZZ): YFLink's team is "cooking up something pretty cool," and the presenter is farming it while open to holding more despite the impermanent loss risk. ZZZ.finance is also gaining a lot of push and positive sentiment, but its pools entirely rely on impermanent loss, so caution is advised, especially since its price has risen significantly. The presenter personally mines Curve, YFV, YFLink, and even "Shrimp," emphasizing "yield is yield" and not playing favorites.
* Achieving 10x Gains and Emotional Control: The current season has seen many projects achieve 10x (or even 100x) gains, including Uniswap, Uptrend, early Mantra DAO, YFI, and YFII. The presenter attributes personal success to suppressing emotions, being logical, and meticulously planning strategies. Emotions are seen as detrimental to sound decision-making in the volatile crypto market.
* CREAM's Future and Solana: CREAM is seen as having a "holdable future," and the presenter mined it from day one. Many of its farming pools are ending soon, which could lead to less daily distribution (6,000 CREAM per day) and potentially an interesting price dynamic. Solana is highlighted as a "big blockchain" gaining significant hype because the FTX and Alameda Research teams (who are known for being very smart) are building their Serum decentralized exchange on it. This reinforces the idea that in crypto, following smart and active people is often a good strategy.
* Community and Giveaways: The presenter emphasizes the importance of the Box Nation Telegram group for information sharing and community support, though it is often private to prevent spam. The group aims for active participation, where members contribute rather than just taking information. The video also features t-shirt giveaways for those actively engaging with the channel's content via the #notificationsquad hashtag. Lastly, there's a fun discussion about old, free NFTs (non-fungible tokens) like "Pirate Boxmining" from the Enjin marketplace, which were given away and are now selling for thousands, showcasing the speculative and collectible nature of these unique digital assets.

So guys, welcome back to another super special episode of Box Mining. Today is the 28th, sorry, 24th of August. I'm so excited today. So this came on the front page of the major Hong Kong publication, Apple Daily. Holy crap, I did not expect to see this one. It's like a front, it's not even like you have to flip through the newspaper to see it. No, it's front page, front and center, guys. I'm so excited. This is why I delayed my stream. I'm like, I just had to share this with you guys today. So...
So guys, welcome back to another super special episode of Box Mining. Today is the 28th, sorry, 24th of August. I'm so excited today. So this came on the front page of the major Hong Kong publication, Apple Daily. Holy crap, I did not expect to see this one. It's like a front, it's not even like you have to flip through the newspaper to see it. No, it's front page, front and center, guys. I'm so excited. This is why I delayed my stream. I'm like, I just had to share this with you guys today. So yeah, it's bright and early here in the morning. It's 11 a.m. in Hong Kong time. My wife actually went down to pick up one of these. Like I was preparing for a stream. Like I had to, I got to get this. I got to get this to show you guys front page center of Hong Kong. What it says is I got Bitcoin logo in English. Obviously it says Bitcoin will never ditch you. And in big bold letters in Hong Kong, it's very colloquial here. It says, banks, today you're not ditching me. We're ditching you. Holy crap. That's a powerful message. This is what Bitcoin is about, guys. That's why we're here. Because, you know, Hong Kong, we've been through a lot and a lot of political messes. And a lot of people are asking, is Apple Daily a major publication? Yes. Hell yeah. It's one of the biggest in Hong Kong. And Apple Daily was at the center of a lot of political turmoil because their CEO, chairman, was arrested for under the anti-secession law anyways. So now a lot of people are supporting Apple Daily because of its independence from, in terms of media privileges, right? It's not, you know, it's like they're more independent than every other news publication. Crazy. So yeah, it talks about Bitcoin at the end. Bitcoin is digital money. It's not issued or controlled by any government or corporation. No one can stop you from transacting on the network and it cannot be shut down. Bitcoin is available to anyone regardless of their nationality, gender, or beliefs. Bitcoin began with the Bitcoin began with the Genesis block during the financial crisis of 2009. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy times, guys. But yeah. What more can we have, right? What more can we have in Hong Kong? I think this is something that's going to happen in Asia too. Like this is just smart. This is just smart. It's like with all this that's happening, I think people have got to start to see this very, very soon. Basically with all this political tension, banks, our assets become at risk. They're the easiest target for a lot of this political mess. And you know, I've refrained from commenting from politics. Two reasons. One, because politics is a big mess. And honestly, right now, if I say something, most likely it's going to be like there's a possible threat of arrest. And also, second of all, it's super messy. It's a big time waster. I don't want to spend time on this. But at my heart, I know this is a big factor because at the end of the day, with all this political tensions going on, one day banks are just going to leave us. That's absolutely true. And today, like that's the power of Bitcoin. Today we get the option. Like honestly, yes. We knew this, right? But now the whole of Hong Kong knows this. And I think this is powerful. And this is done by a few people in Hong Kong. I think I'm going to keep them anonymous for now. But the kind of cool thing right now is that in Hong Kong, the guys at Genesis Block, I'm not going to say if they're involved or not, because obviously I'm not sure if they want to keep their identities hidden. But they're offering free ATM usage throughout the whole of this week in Hong Kong. So like if you go to pointhere.io and check out any ATM locations, if you are in Hong Kong, free to like no fee ATM usage. Just use like there's a code. I put it on the Twitter thing. Apparently, I have to use a code for it. But holy crap, man, this is just super powerful stuff. And it's crazy. It's crazy. We've got some questions. So that's why we're beginning it with this. I'm just so excited for this. Like Bitcoin front and center of Hong Kong, guys. I'm just going to leave this here. I'm going to leave this here. I'm just so excited. Like this is like, and I think this is kind of cool because I, you know, I put this online, right? Like I put this online and I'm like, oh, you know, it's cool. But if you hold it in person, like if you actually hold it in person, you're like, holy crap, this is the front page of this newspaper. Like that is awesome. That is so awesome. It's like, it's not even in the middle of the page, right? You don't have to flip to find it. Like this is front page, front and center. I'll show you guys another photo. I'm just super excited for this. So like if you see a stack of this, like, um, there's, you can actually see a stack of this paper. Like I put it up somewhere. I think I'll put it on a Reddit just now. Um, let me just make sure, let me just see it. Just make this hot guys. Let's see new this guy, this guy, this guy. Yes, this guy. So I sent this picture. I just had to, right. Um, uh, guys share this if you can as well. Um, got to raise some awareness, but I put this photo cause someone sent a picture of a stack of these, right? So you have a stack of this and it's just all Bitcoin. I think the Bitcoin logo is perfectly, perfectly positioned. The message is super clear. Um, what more can you ask? Right? What more can you ask guys? So it's a start. I mean, some people are saying, Oh, is this mass, um, mass adoption, et cetera. But you know, it's, it's also, um, it's, it's going to take some time. It's going to take some time, but honestly, just so cool to see it on the newspaper today, August 24th, I'm going to save a copy of this. I'm super excited. I know you guys can see the excitement on my face. All right. So today, what we're going to do is we're going to update you guys on cryptocurrency markets. What's going to happen? What's the overall narrative? I was actually super busy as well over the entire weekend. Lots of farming to do. I moved farms around a few farms, including curve. They're getting, their APY is getting low. You know, it's, it's like only 80%. I can't believe I'm saying that, but anyways, so those yields are dropping. So we're going to take a look at what's happening on the yield farming front. We're talking a little bit about the decentralized finance front, everything, everything. We're going to do Q and a, um, I researched, I think another six projects over this weekend as well. And you know how I screwed the, um, the, the fingering, but anyways, I'm super excited today. And, um, yeah, we're going to do all that update today. So make sure you stay tuned, make sure you smash up those likes and a big thank you as well. Just before we started, we have an OG member. We have H smiley face, just upgraded membership to OG King. Thank you so much for your support on this channel guys. Thank you. Thank you. Say thank you. And thank you, big thank you to everyone on just chatting right now. I think it's just super amazing that you guys are all here. Really appreciate you guys coming in on these live streams. I know yesterday when I scheduled a stream, I accidentally said it as yesterday night, I was just really tired that night. I'm like every day I'm sleeping pretty late and waking up pretty early. So it's kind of crazy for me. Just the amount of research and work that I'm doing and putting outputting right now, it's insane. And I really think this market is something like if you guys haven't noticed already, now is a time to pay attention. Really like no joke. Like I've told every single one of my friends that, yo, if you got to want, want to watch Bitcoin and everything that's happening in the crypto space, you got to pay attention right now. Not only are we able to ditch the banks right there, but we're also able to completely replace them with a lot of the systems that's happening in decentralized finance. I'm using them more and more. It's kind of crazy. And well, we'll talk about it today. So guys, thank you so much. We got Jose Britos giving the Vitalik clap. Nice. H says, thanks, Michael. Love your work, mate. Love you guys too, guys. Let's check it out. Let's go straight into. So every time we start this, we have a mini ad for my podcast. That's why I'm trying to promote it out. So I'm going to do that in my most commercial voice possible. So Bitcoin out of the box. It is my podcast, bridging that gap between privileged institutional investors and the rest of us here in that retail space. Super amazing interviews. State of DeFi with Sam Bankman-Fried. CZ, CEO of Binance. He talks about his future of Binance Exchange and what they're doing. Bobby Ng, COO of CoinGecko. I mean, Jeff Kredakis, TrustSwap. Arnie Hill, Plutus, DeFi, Ruben Yap, Zcoin. These are huge names. You can listen to them on the go anywhere. Basically, just search Bitcoin out of the box. It's on Apple Podcasts as well. I'll put the link just out here. But you can search for it. Bitcoin out of the box. It's just pretty much searchable everywhere. I listen to it personally on Spotify. I don't have Apple Podcasts. There's also Google Podcasts they can listen to it with, but it's pretty much everywhere. So I use the aggregator to publish this everywhere. So it should be everywhere. And yeah, just check it out. Bitcoin out of the box. So anyways, let's go straight on to what's happening on the markets. Just give you guys an overview. So not too much in terms of major point movements, right? If you look at it, Bitcoin and Ethereum barely moved this weekend. Yes, we had a dip. So we got rejected on Bitcoin off above 12K. So we're talking about that a little bit. I'm going to throw you guys trading view in a sec. Let's throw that up here. So we did get rejected off 12K. That did happen. We talked about that as well on Friday. And then now we're slowly kind of just sitting there doing not much. So Bitcoin itself, the juggernaut, the giant, it's waiting. It's waiting for that accumulation. There's this rumor right now that Bitcoin isn't moving too much because of whale activity. So we've seen a few huge whale movements that they want to take profits. That's a reasonable theory. So let me just throw you this theory here. So apparently the whale that sold at the 12K price after accumulating for 22 months decided to sell. So people are tracking whale movements. They're tracking out when they start buying. So when whales start buying, when they start kind of accumulating Bitcoin. So apparently this whale was accumulating Bitcoin around 6,000. So now it's like almost double and that's almost 9K in Bitcoin. That's insane. That's a huge whale. That is a gigantic whale. It's just absolutely insane. I mean, if it's 9,000 Bitcoin and then he made around what? $6,000 with it? That's like $54 million. Trying to do some mental arithmetic here. Correct me if I'm wrong. $54 million? Sounds about right. So yeah. Whale is making a hell of my money. So that's a possible reason why there is a rejection on this point is that there were quite a few whales that were accumulating during the bear market and then they're just cashing that out now. That makes some sense. So right now we're kind of in that period of either accumulation for a new phase of whales. So yeah. So the rejection off here might be because of the 2012K whale. And also right now we could be accumulating here as well for a new group of whales to take us further up. So that's kind of the narrative that we're in right now where what I'm calling in this is the golden... It's not the golden triangle. I'm going to call it the golden channel that we're in. Because while Bitcoin's not moving, the altcoin space is just absolutely blowing up. So if you look at the 24 hours, Aragon, Nam, Nem, sorry, Nem, not Nam, Aragon, Nem, SiaCoin, Cosmos, Bat, all moving up. Even Algorand, Swipe, Zcash. They're all moving up a lot over this weekend. And I mean, if you're talking about the whole yield farming DeFi scene, I mean, this is just absolutely crazy, right? Over the weekend, we saw the yield farm leader, Wifey. Remember this, guys, when I told you you can get it for free? Just remember? Remember that? Remember that? When I told you, hey, guys, check out this DeFi yield farming thing, you know? I still remember selling Wifey at $600. I was like, yield is yield! Gotta make my profits! And yeah, so DeFi scene is still kicking off huge right now. Because there's no more issuance of Wifey, that's why the price went up like crazy. And the crazy story here is like, after posting and telling my friends about Wifey yield farming, so not everyone went in. Everyone's like, I think around 8 out of 10 people thought it was a scam, thought it was too risky. But then 2 out of 10 people, like out of the people I told, went just all in berserk, right? I know at least 3 friends that went in with more than half a million dollars to mine Wifey. They're pretty off right now. They're pretty well off right now. I just say that. That's a very big understatement. I know some friends that mined it and sold it. I know some friends that mined it and kept it. Oh god, that's insane. That's insane. We mined it and kept it? Holy crap, guys. So that's why Wifey started its whole yield farming revolution. There are so many different coins after this. We talked about YFLink, YFValue, grapes, yams, spaghettis. I don't know what there is. There's a lot of people trying to capture the original value of Wifey. And everyone who thinks Wifey is overvalued at this point trying to jump on and mine those new coins. This is why this whole yield farming genre is being created. But at the same time, it's quite a bit dangerous. When I first started with all this yield farming stuff, I didn't really realize too much about impermanent loss. I learned that pretty quickly. Yeah, and a lot of new pools now like ZZZ and YFV both have very high rewarding pools, but all of them have the risk of impermanent loss. So we'll talk a little bit about that. Probably we'll make a dedicated video on impermanent loss because it's so important. But to be honest, this weekend, I was farming myself. I was moving pools myself. And there's just no time to actually make videos. I'm finding that time crunch to be quite bad right now. Like literally because of like, I screwed up a few things with managing my funds because I put them on a few different accounts and a few different treasures and ledgers and whatever. I split them apart on different hardware wallets. So then like managing it is a nightmare. It's like literally a nightmare. And you have to be so precise when you do everything. Because honestly, with crypto, the walls, it can be your own banking and ditch the bank as well. You have to pay attention because if you send it to the wrong address, it's GG. And I think just yesterday, one of my friends sent Bitcoin to the wrong address and it just lost forever. Like a single Bitcoin. Like these are like super whales, I guess. They just sent no test send. Just send one Bitcoin. No problem. That's like 111k. No problem. Right. Just sent it. Oh, sorry. Wrong address. So sad. Cry another day. Okay. Move on. This place amuses me. This way amuses me. But anyways, guys, we'll talk a little bit about yield farming today, but that's kind of the overall situation. The market's been quite steady. Ethereum also quite steady. A lot of the top coins here are just kind of cruising by. They're kind of waiting for the next move. And I think a lot of people are waiting for Bitcoin to move in many senses because Bitcoin being a juggernaut that it is, if Bitcoin moves out of this golden triangle, the golden, not triangle, golden channel out here, and then we start exploring 14k, obviously that's going to bring more and more of the general public, but also all the alt coins will have to bend the knee and lose to Bitcoin because Bitcoin is such a big mover. So I think that's why the major alt coins are still kind of staying steady. They're all just kind of calm during this current narrative. And then all the DeFi projects are just going absolutely crazy. Like if you followed YFee 2, that went insane over the weekend. It's a situation where I still kept some and I was just like, because I mined it, right? The story with YFee 2 was that this is a YFee clone in Asia. So Chinese, some good Chinese developers cloned YFee and then they start launching it. And then most people thought it was a scam at the start. And in fact, I thought it was a scam until someone like someone posted this on my, my telegram group. I'm like, that sounds like a scam. I should ban you. And then I obviously went to research your team and I found that Dovi Wang from Primitive Ventures was super into it. I checked out their WeChat Chinese group and they're like, oh, they're okay. And I actually also helped sign their governance multi-signature accounts. I did this all for free just to research, just to figure out what's happening. And then people got so angry at me. This is, let me rant for this. People are so angry at me. They're like, oh, YFee 2 lost value. You're a scammer. How much did they pay you for this? People just start spewing random stuff, trying to insult me because look at that. I took a deep dive, but YFee 2 started building their vaults. They started building something like actually delivering. And then people started getting super excited for it. That was this weekend. So anyways, anyways, that's the kind of situation. So going back about this, we got quite people asking about different coins. We'll try to answer that very soon, but kind of that narrative or the mining narrative is quite interesting. So let me just start diving into the mining narrative and story. So YFee obviously went crazy apeshit this weekend. Sorry for swearing. And then YFee 2 also, and a lot of the other YFees went up. A few coins also dropped in value. And this is kind of the risks of the current mining gig right now, or the yield farming gig right now, where there's two types of pools. I show you guys with YFV very quickly. So this kind of demonstrates it. So with YFV, there's two types of pools. The C pool is where you don't suffer impermanent loss. And you know, guys, I was actually very suspicious of YFee. I think a lot of people sent me this when I first launched. And the first day they launched, they screwed up a little bit. And then the second day they launched, they also had a few, like they brought their issues up. I think this was kind of key. But anyway, so this is a staking pool where you just stake your stable coins. And this one does not have impermanent loss. So this one is the risk for this one is smart contract risks. So this is like, if their smart contract sucks and some hacker manages to steal funds or siphon funds from the smart contract, that's the hard part. The kind of issue or kind of interesting part about all these contracts is that once they're just kind of deployed, they cannot be changed. And this is why people trust putting funds inside is because the contract will always abide by the rules of the contract. So so long as this contract is designed very well, and hasn't received audits, it should be safe. But now YFee has not actually received audits. And this is something that I was actually quite concerned about throughout most of last week. But this week, I managed to speak to the devs, they insured me they really did spend a lot of time on it. And a few of my trusted friends also looked at it. All right, looked at it, but did not audit it yet. So it's still awaiting audit. I can still say it's quite risky. And what you can do and what like people have been doing is that if you are worried about these, you can look at them themselves. So there's actually a diff compare. So if you look at the code here, I actually put this on my article about YFee for me. You can view the contracts versus audited contracts before. And one of my major concerns before was that there were huge modifications here. So this is the YFee contract here. And there are huge modifications. Like there's like lines and lines of new code audit being added. So these all present or present rather a vulnerability risk or a potential vulnerability until it gets fully audited. So that's kind of the case with everything there. So that's one of the risks. The other bigger risk or the more rewarding pools are like these ones. So for these ones, this is the risk with smart contract risk, but there's no impermanent loss risk. All these other pools include impermanent loss. So like these pools have a lot higher rewards, like these ridiculous 2000% annual percentage yields. And the reason why is that with impermanent loss, what happens is that if these are paired with YFee, so you must have a little bit of YFee and pair it into a liquidity pool on balancer. So what happens is that if YFee loses value very quickly, all right, so if it suddenly dumps or if there's a risk that the developer can mint new coins and just like dump it to oblivion, then that's the risk there. So if you look at YFee, it's like there's a drop in value, right? Went from like $40 to $20. So because you're holding that token, you actually are exposed to the market conditions. So that is called impermanent loss. And that's actually quite real as well. It's like, um, I suffered this myself on YFFI when I mined it. And then I started learning, okay, look, if it knows I can tolerate maybe like a 30% dip or maybe a 40% dip because the rewards are still bigger. But if the dip is like 90%, then you're at risk of like a huge impermanent loss risk. So anyways, that's kind of explaining the risk to you guys. Um, like it's hard for me to approach a subject now this morning. Uh, I'll just tell you about this more this morning. Apparently someone was speculating on grapes or crap and they're like, Oh, I just lost all my money or something like that. Um, help me, sir. Please rescue me or something like that. I'm like, guys, if you are over speculating in this space, like everything I do, right. It's very, very controlled. Like, like it takes a lot of willpower and a lot of determination to make sure that you are not emotional and that you make a correct decision. I'm not a financial advisor. I cannot advise you on this and I, nor can I rescue from this. So this is why like every time I talk about this, this is what I'm actually interested in. This is what I'm actually doing, but, and this is a firsthand account of it. But at the same time, I see that some very, very irresponsible people are just going apeshit over this. This is just like, they're just buying this and speculating on losing all their money. That is not as cool. It's not smart. Um, we kind of joke about this, but like when I see these measures, it should make me sad, but I've seen so many over the years, it doesn't anymore. Like if you're not responsible in this place, please leave. Like if you cannot manage your risks properly, if you put your whole life savings, you leverage your house on this, you put yourself in your credit card debt over this, please do not be in crypto. It's still very, very early. It's still very, um, you know, super exploratory. A lot of these things have absolutely no value whatsoever. Developers said it zero value whatsoever. If you want to speculate on this, you are like outright gambling and the people that we are like, the people that like can do this properly are people who are using like 0.1% of their net worth or 1% or like 2% of their net worth to do this. Um, please do not be a degenerate. Um, I can't like, I joke about this all the time on my channel because, you know, sometimes it's just stupid as hell, but this is the final warning. I'm pretty much telling you guys, you know, if you guys cannot manage risks, um, if you guys are going to put your house on this, please don't. All right. That's just not cool. Anyways, back to happiness or degeneracy. Um, we're going forward. So obviously for this, um, for me, what I'm doing is I'm having the right amount of risk exposure to this. I'm learning very, very quickly how to do this properly. Obviously there's a ton of money to be made here because we've yield farming all the new coins that I've been reading. They're just giving out coins to yield farmers right now. It's a new way of playing distribution pretty much. So that's why I learned it. That's why I'm firsthand telling you guys what is happening and I hope you guys are doing well. So on that note as well. So if you guys want to join us and discuss about this, I'm going to open up the group. All right. So manage group, we're going to, we're going to open up our group, which is now private. We will open this up for roughly an hour for everyone to get in. So I just put this up right now. Um, if you guys want to come in, jump in, hop in with us, discuss what you're doing, discuss what you're, um, what you're researching, et cetera. Um, yeah, that, that's a group for you. That is the absolute group. Join the group right now. There's only an hour. Once this hour is over, I'm going to close off the group again. So with this telegram group, um, I wanted to stay away from paid groups. Okay. This is my story with all these telegram groups. It's an absolutely amazing way of sharing information, amazing community to the telegram group is the strongest telegram group ever in my opinion, obviously, but this box nation group definitely worth getting in on. But at the same time, we had a lot of spammers, people just constantly dumping their coin and saying, look, buy my bags, right? No one wants to buy your 10 X bags. Let's be honest. We just want to share information, get good Intel and actually grow together. That's the objective of the group right now. That means of course, we do have to close this group off to spammers. That's why, unfortunately, just because of the way how some negative people, not you guys, obviously some negative people are in this space. Some people just come and dump spam on us. So that is why we are closing this group off and we only open this group up in like a very short amount of time for people who genuinely care. And then we read out all the trash. That's just unfortunate. I hate to be a leaders like this, but it works. All right. And the quality of discussions after we closed off the group, I just skyrocketed. It just blew up. And we're going to do some weeding out as well. I'm just going to clean out anyone that's like, I think, I guess lurkers. If you don't contribute, it's hard. That's the whole part about crypto, right? You got to bring something to the table to take something from the table. You can't just constantly take from the table. You know, it's like a free meal here. It's a free buffet. Yay. Just take information. You got to contribute. So we're thinking of some ways to improve the group and improve the contribution levels, everyone. And we'll give you guys updates. But right now, free to join. We're not going to charge you anything, but just keep that in mind. Don't spam us. Cool. Tydo says, buy my bag, Michael. We got Kenny Diamond, WTF 500 viewers. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Crypto super high. Everyone's here to watch this newspaper. That's what everyone's here for. Everyone's here to check out Apple Daily front page, guys. Front page. Brent says, this telegram group does not exist. Oh, weird. Let me check this link out. I think people should be joining right now. Let me just double check it. Huh. Interesting. Manage group. Tell me if you can't join. It should be. Okay, fine. I'll put it as public for now. All right. People can join it. People can join it. It's okay. It's okay, guys. It's okay. Join this. Join this with this link. So, yeah. Big critique says, when I click the link, I click link to join, but it doesn't do anything. Okay, I'll make it public then. I'll make it public for, um, box. Save it. I'm going to make it public, and then we're going to copy the link if I can. If I can, of course, please let me copy, uh, t.me slash box mining live stream only. That's the link to do it. Um, t.me. All right. I'm just, I'm just posting the link up. Okay. So, this should work. This should 100% work, guys. Group does not exist. All right. All right, guys. Just use that link. Um, here we go. They lock you, drop a delay. Okay. So, anyways, guys, um, Nick Jesus is that big newspaper in Hong Kong. Hell yeah. Hell yeah, it is. Hell yeah. Um, we got a lot of YFV guys here. So, YFV guys, um, so we have two big coins that have kind of impermanent loss right now that, um, can be mined with impermanent loss rather. So, YFV being one of them, YFLink being one of them, ZZZ being one of them. I'm mining all three. Um, yeah, play at your own risk, guys. I did actually speak to the YFV guys, like the devs behind it. They're anonymous, but, um, I did speak to them over the weekend. They kind of, uh, made sure that some of my fears are removed. Um, and I feel much better about them. So, yeah, like they're actually not scammers, which is great. And they know what's happening. So, anyways, um, let's take a look at everything else on the market. I guess, I guess we're pretty much done for the biggest news, I guess. Um, let's see. I mean, okay, here's the deal. I read Point Telegraph every morning, but I kind of like have a mental filter about what I want to read because, you know, there's a million things that are out there. But, okay, so first of all, price stuff. I don't really read this anymore because this is just pretty much nonsense. Uh, no offense, right? But, um, everyone loves talking about price and most of those journalists don't know what they're talking about. Um, next we have, okay, top cryptocurrencies to watch. So, Point Telegraph, they're shilling their bags, which is great. Uh, we got Coinbase CEO says Apple's still hostile towards crypto. That's not really anything new. Um, see, Apple's really hostile to crypto. And, in fact, Apple's super hostile to anything that takes away from the 30% cut. Apple makes 30% on every single purchase. If you guys watched the WordPress battle between Apple this weekend and also Fortnite versus Apple, Apple hates anything that doesn't give them a 30% cut. So, yeah. So, this whale article was pretty interesting. The whale that sold at 12,000 BTC after holding for two years. Great. We know that some whales are coming or selling. Cointelegraph consulting that's just advertising their business. Um, people complaining about IMF education video. We also have a Radix thing. I'm actually researching Radix as well. Apparently, it's pretty hot. A lot of people love it. Um, I'm actually looking quite closely at Radix. Um, people, uh, Google post work from BPO, whose employees was involved in Bitcoin scam. Okay. Not too interesting. Uh, VPN reaches a million users. Cool. That's great. I mean, we should all be using VPNs at some point or the other. Tell me which VPNs you use. I've been using quite a few. Um, I've been using VPN.ac a lot, but I think there's quite a few that's pretty good as well. So, tell me what VPNs you use, guys. I'm trying to see if, like, I'm trying to do a VPN comparison. Um, that's kind of the take right now. I think, like, with VPNs, you gotta use it to hide your identity sometimes to protect you because people track by IP, right? So, I've been using this stable one called VPN.ac mostly because when I was working in China, um, it was very helpful. But I'm actually trying to see, like, a VPN comparison. A lot of people are asking me what's the best one. So, suggest me, tell me your best ones, and I'll look at them, and I'll try to compare them, and tell you guys which one works the best for me, at the very least. Um, yeah, Binance chain runners should be aware of mainnet hard fork changes. If you guys are running Binance chain, Anchor provides a good, uh, service for that. So, recently, I've been using Anchor and Allnodes. Um, like, so, back in the day, I used to run my own nodes, and in fact, I have a PC right there that can run nodes, but it's way too time-consuming. So, if you just want to test it out, you can use either Anchor or Allnodes, depending on which one you can, like, they see. And that's out there. So, anyways, yeah. That's pretty much there. We also have Miners compete on decentralized network storage for $4 million price. It sounds like a ad, like a Filecoin. Filecoin's coming. Oh, Filecoin! They need to create some hype! I told you guys, right? Polkadot and Filecoin, two very big coins that were circulating in China. Um, and they need, they need to deliver this year. So, Polkadot kind of delivered. Um, their prices went up from $3 to $4. So, you know, they kind of delivered on that front. And now Filecoin is next. They really need to take that. Uh, we got Sam Gutala says, I'm very happy with ExpressVPN. Congrats. I think I'll take that up. We got NordVPN. I saw that a lot as well. We got Surfshark. Wow, quite a few targets, huh? Um, so Surfshark. Surfshark. So, we got a few ExpressVPN's here. ThorGuard. I should take a look at this. TunnelBear. TunnelBear. Obviously, if you watch, if you're probably using TunnelBear, you probably watch Linus Tech Tips, right? I see that mentioned all the time. We got Peter Lutto. Peter Lutto says, Welcome to Team Crypto. Absolutely awesome. Congratulations. Um, okay. So, Osmar Race says, there's a global comparison chart somewhere. Top five VPNs. Big five VPNs. Um, let me check that list, actually. The only problem with this is that it's so commercialized that, like, someone's going to try to tech, like, tech, radar, and CNET. I guess they're kind of reputable. But they always have ads in it, no? Okay. So, Express, Surfshark, Nord, VPN, Vanish. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting. I'm just looking for, like, a super fast one. Um, we got a question about BoxMoney. What do you think about Softlink? I actually haven't looked in Softlink. That's one of the things that I wanted to look at. Um, I think they're distributing coins out. I have no idea, actually. I'll look into it. Um, why not? Uh, we got Nick Jesus, RIP FunnelBear. All right. So, all right. So, we have a lot of people questioning things about different coins and VPNs. So, I'll take a look at this whole VPN thing. Um, we got T14U1 says, The Telegram group keeps crashing and booting me. So, if you get booted from the Telegram group, it's because you have the message. Uh, we have a bot that makes it so that you have to message at least once before, um, the thing lets you in. Um, yeah. So, just the Telegram group is pretty guarded. It's pretty guarded. All right. Cool, cool. Um, Phil M says, It's all referral links not reliable. Exactly. That's what I kind of thought. Um, you want a good one. But most likely, the big ones aren't bad, right? I think there's a case where, like, if you want a good meal, just go to McDonald's. McDonald's probably has the most people shilling it. And it probably isn't the best meal. But it's a meal and it'll get you fed, right? Maybe get you fat too. But it'll also get you fed. All right. Okay. Let's look at some, um, comments and, uh, questions and comments. Oh, I've got to show you something cool as well. I bought this over the weekend. Look at this. This is something cool. This is gigabyte or a solid-state drive. I'm going to upgrade my computer today. Um, one terabyte of SSD. PCI Express 4.0. That's freaking cool. That's, like, my weekend purchase of the week. This Gen 4 PC. Like, it's got, like, a freaking heavy heatsink for an SSD. That's going to add one terabyte of storage to my PC, which I'm super excited for. Um, and just looking at this, this is, like, so excessive. Like, a thermal vents on an SSD hard drive. Like, really? Is that necessary? But, anyways, that's kind of the case. All right. We've got questions and answers. Let's do some questions and answers. Let's do, like, five minutes of Q&A, and then we'll come and chat on the chat, um, on the, um, channel. Also, upcoming videos, we have the one where I had talked about my holdings, like, what coins am I holding, and I'll do some coins about what my, kind of, moon shot takes are, et cetera, et cetera. Right now, I'm actually doing everything crypto. I'm yield farming. I'm having, I'm fixing my middle bracket of my portfolio. You guys know that my hodl is Bitcoin, Ethereum, VeChain. But at the same time, I'm kind of fixing my, my, my kind of core, um, secondary core, my middle part, my big, medium bags, and then also my moon shot bag. So I have, like, have, like, around, I think almost 40 different cryptocurrencies I'm holding. It's a complete mess. But at the same time, I love it. It's great. Uh, there we go. Um, there we go, rather. And we've got a big correction right there that says, Game Pusher says, NVMe, not SSD. Yes, NVMe, not SSD. All right. It still says solid state drive. Okay, just give me some credits for that. It still says solid state drive, but it's an NVMe SSD. Okay, we've got some professionals here. It's great, guys. Um, all right. So, um, some, we've got so many chat things. So take some questions. Some people have thought about Darwinian network just right now. So I think I pissed off a lot of people on Ring and K-Ton. So I purchased these around three weeks ago, speculating that there might be some play with Polkadot. And people are asking me now about Ring and K-Ton. So I sold most of that already, mostly because I feel like with the narrative that's going on with Polkadot. So if you guys don't know, Polkadot just shot up, right? So all of a sudden, Polkadot is a thing now. So it's actually here. It's number 10. So Polkadot knew. This is now ranked number 10 in coin market cap. If you guys don't know what Polkadot is, you should definitely do a lot more research. It was a coin that was built by Gavin Woods. So it's a Western coin that got shilled really hard in China. China loved it. They super love Gavin Woods. And then China's shilling that back now to the West. It's pretty cool. Pretty insane. Pretty funny. Not very much. But anyways, so Polkadot has an entire ecosystem, including Darwinia, which includes K-Ton and Ring. So recently, what I thought is that with the Polkadot hype that is going on, obviously Polkadot is very interesting to look at. But at the same time, every project is trying to ride off the Polkadot hype. That's just the insanity behind it. And a lot of new projects are doing that too. So recently I thought, okay, you know what? I'm going to look at new projects that are on Polkadot rather than old projects because I kind of don't want to buy someone's 10X bags in that case. So I kind of reduced everything that was on Ring and K-Ton and I'm looking at newer projects that are in the Polkadot space. I guess kind of the smart way to look at it. But the biggest risk right now is that with new projects, obviously there's a lot of hype surrounding them. So that becomes more of a liability than anything else. So I think everyone talked about like Mantra DAO and RIO over this weekend. Lots and lots of hype, but then like can they deliver becomes a bigger issue. Also, we got PhilPHM. Thank you so much for your 50 BGN donation. And also Eric Kim, thank you so much for your 5,000 won donation. Eric asks, what are the chances of a smart contract getting hacked whilst farming? I would say save pretty medium because the issue with these smart contracts are that they're holding so much money, right? So a single contract holding $50 million, there's definitely a huge reward for any hacker that tries to hack it. So the risk is still there, especially because Ethereum is still relatively new. It is a risk. It is a risk. So that's why like I'm very conservative when I'm also mining. I'm also trying to position myself so that like even though, like the example here will be Curve. So Curve DAO is audited. So the risks are lower, but the APY is lower. So around 80% APY. It's lower to mine there, lower yield to mine there, but it probably would be safer for me, at least I think so. Whilst the newer ones would be higher risk if they're not audited, if that answers your question. I hope so. We got Sifran Sun says, are you investing in DIA and CRV? So I think that's a good question. First of all, I'm mining CRV and I sell it every day. I'm not really speculating too much on its value. Reason being because it's early on coin. So the supply is very low relative to the maximum cap. So if you look at CRV right now, it's okay, sir. Sure, position market cap of $40 million, right? But it's only been mined for a week. So that means in the next week, that supply is going to double. So the fully diluted valuation is around $9 billion for fully diluted. So this is like at the maximum, maximum supply, what happens is that it's going to be worth $9 billion, which is kind of crazy considering it's like three engineers and it's still ongoing. So in that case, if I can just mine it, I'm not buying it. If I can mine it and then I can make some profit off it and maybe keep like 10, 20%, which is the kind of rule I've been at doing, that's kind of my strategy. So especially with these early on coins, you're subjected to huge, huge dump of mentals. Think about it. Every day, miners are just creating these new coins. This coin gets created and given to miners or yield farmers and then they can just do whatever they want with it. They can either speculate or they can just dump it on the market. So it's still in the price discovery phase. I didn't want to speculate it. So I'm not like, I guess if you want to use the word investing, I'm not buying it. I'm open market. I'm not market buying it. I'm mining it and selling it. So congrats. If you're buying it, you're probably buying it from people like me. We also have Cprint Sun asking, are you investing in Dia? So I did buy market by Dia. It's an Oracle type solution and everyone loves these Oracles right now, especially after Chainlink. So Dia could be an interesting play. Yeah, I'm holding quite a bit of it. Like no reason why not, I saw. So there we go. Okay. So we also have a question from Lauren Adam. Is China being more lenient on crypto? What do you think about NIO? They're pretty slowly creeped back to around $20 per coin. Will Polkadot be nailed on a coffin from some of these networks? So China is not lenient on crypto. There is a narrative. There are some people who are trying to, I think they're doing a predatory tactic to try to convince people that China is lenient on crypto. That is not the case. First of all, people are using Decept, or China's national digital currency, DCEP, as a way of trying to say that China is more lenient towards crypto. That is not the case. With the launch of DCEP, China actually closed a lot of over-the-counter accounts, trading desks. They closed a lot of accounts related to cryptocurrencies. They do not like crypto, especially public networks that the Chinese government cannot control. They do not like it, period. So they don't want their citizens speculating coins. They don't want that at all. Everything here done in China is pretty much done underground. And yeah, that's kind of the case. So China's not lenient at all. So that's a myth. And in fact, if you look at Blockchain Service Network, Blockchain Service Network just split into two. One that is Blockchain Service Network China. So China specific, central government is sponsoring it, but they have full control over it. And BSN International, which is just whatever. You can include whatever public chains you want. It doesn't matter. You guys go international. We don't care. But if it's China, China wants control, period. So that's kind of the case. Just be very, very careful about that. And we'll take it how it goes. Steven says, Steven asks, BoxMoney, what are your thoughts about YFLink? So I actually spoke with the YFLink team. I think they are actually cooking up something pretty cool. So it's one of the projects that I don't mind farming and mining with the risk of impermanent loss. So that's, I'm in one of the pools to farm it. And also at the same time, I don't mind holding a little bit more as well to see what they can cook up. Yeah, seems interesting. So there you go. We got Academy asking endlessly about Softlink. I've also responded to you. So please, if you guys want to ask a question, only ask it once or we will just directly ban you. I think, like after learning from my Telegram group, having valuable chat is important. And we're also looking for ways for our whole community to deliver value as well. I think I'm kind of changing my mindset here where, you know, you got to give some to take some, right? Just how it works. I think a lot of people got angry. A lot of people, I think a lot of people take it as if you want to be in crypto, they just want to take free gains. There's no such thing as free gains. I've said that ever since 2017. One of our biggest models is there's no such thing as free lunch. No one's going to give you information for free unless you provide some form of information as well. So, if you guys want to provide information, come on Telegram group, hop on. If you just want to take information, don't hop on. We probably don't want you. Sorry. This is how it works, right? Nick Jesus. Michael, you should make a video for someone who has tons of crypto holdings and explain the different options they have for income using DeFi. I like a few whales. I don't know what to do. I think it's hard. Everything contains risk. I feel like the way that I'm setting it up right now, which is more of a first-hand account of what's happening works really well because I can deliver information faster and keep you guys on the front lines, but also exposes you guys to risk. There's nothing that is actually safe. Yes, everything's been doing super well for me. You know, I had a few setbacks. I was very transparent about that. You know, I speculated on yams. That hit me hard. That set me back like four days in terms of net worth. Oh, no. That hit me really hard. I made up for it by now. I'm pretty happy. I'm pretty on top of things. Um, but at the same time, I feel like it's a case where, like, I want to share information, but at the same time, um, if I, like, I don't know, like, I'm exposing myself to a lot of risk, but for very little gain in that case, like, I cannot make guys that sound like financial advice or like, or in terms of that terms, I think that's harder because, you know, there are financial consultants out there. They charge a lot of money. They make a lot of money. And the reason why is because, you know, they don't want to get sued or something. I don't know. I don't know. Whatever. So anyways, this is, this, I would say this channel is more positioned itself as a first hand account of what I'm interested in. And if you guys are really interested in stuff, I'll also do that as well. And I think that's the deal with our channel. So my two cents. We've got Mr. T says, ZZZ is way better than Yam or Wi-Fi. I don't really think so. Wi-Fi has a huge amount of value behind it because Andre is crazy. Andre is deploying so much stuff. The speed at which he deploys is insane. But I heard a lot of good things about ZZZ this week. In fact, ZZZ is getting one of the biggest pushes for a long time. So yet again, I think there's a case where if someone's very aggressively pushing a coin, usually that puts me off. Because it feels like, you know, they're just pushing their 10X bags. So it really depends on how you promote it. I think everything here in terms of value, all these new kind of defined yield aggregators, they all have value. And I'm pretty much in all of them at this current point. I'm not going to lie to you guys and say, okay, one's better than the other. I'm mining, of course, curve. I'm mining YFV. I'm mining, what is this? Apparently even shrimp. Like, I'm mining shrimp. I kind of, I have YF link, obviously. I got out of the pasta pool. Yeah, that's pretty much it, I guess. I have like, I have so many things I'm juggling right now. I just kind of forget. But I don't play favorites. Yield is yield. I don't really, you know, yeah. But I think the biggest risk with ZZZ right now is that all the pools have impermanent loss. And ZZZ went up a lot in value. So be very, very careful. I would be like, this is on the caution garden mode. I do have a lot of friends that are also mining ZZZ big time. Yeah, like super big, like super big time. I have some huge friends that are big into ZZZ. So, you know, maybe they'll do something cool. Okay. Mr. T says, yields are better on ZZZ right now. That's all I'm saying. Awesome. Respect, respect for that, Mr. T. Sorry for going on at you. I'll check it out. And if the yields are good, definitely. I'm in. I'm in on anything that's good. The only issue I think is impermanent loss for ZZZ. That's the only risk. But if you guys think it's really good, it's awesome. SD says, God damn, how many things are you mining? A lot, a lot. Primarily this weekend. So this weekend, I only took half a day off. So I think I took around six hours off. Just like went out, walked around a bit, and I went back, you know, I had a lot of calls this weekend too. I think every day, I'm like on at least three hours worth of calls. It's crazy. My take on this is that there's a lot of craziness in crypto right now. Like there's a lot. There's a lot of 10 X's. I think everyone goes a little bit crazy about 10 X's or 100 X's even. This current season, I think I had like four to five projects that did get 10 X. You know, swap being one of them. Uptrend being one of them. I think this is risky to say this, but I got into one of the earlier pulls from Mantra Dow. So that's one of them. Y-Fee, definitely one of them. All the YF, whatever price. Y-Fee 2, also one of them. Yeah, it's quite a few, quite a few, like 10 X's this entire season. And, you know, I'm happy for that. I think even MTA got something good, right? I bought that at, um, I tried to bid for it at 1.8. And then, uh, I market bought at 2.5. And now it's like a five. So not, not a 10 X, but a two X, whatever. Um, I guess 10 X's are sexier. I think a lot of people get crazy about this. You know, they, they, they're emotionally very high. Um, something that I do that's really messed up, I think is I always suppress my emotions. Every time I identify that I'm getting this high or emotionally compromised or getting emotional over it. I actually just kind of said, you know what? Be the most boring person possible and be the most logical person possible at this point. Um, yeah, that's just for me. That works very well for me. Like every time it just, it's always about identifying certain emotions and then making the most logical choice out of it. Um, that's why it sounds super boring most of the time, but it works super well because you're not emotional. Emotion gets the worst out of you. I think like a lot of people don't realize this, but as humans, we're hardwired to feel emotion and, uh, you have to plan out a strategy. You have to be super smart, plan on a strategy and plan out how you're going to make your money. Um, I guess that's how I do it. Not financial advice, blah, blah, blah. Um, world pieces. Think cream has a hold it future. Yeah, absolutely. In fact, that's why I'm mining cream. I talked to you about, I told you guys about mining cream since the day, like day one, when it was launched. That was what I was mining for a while. Um, cream is doing very well. Like they're super aggressive. Um, their pools are ending very soon. So I think someone tweeted that out. Um, like there's a, there's a chart about what they're doing. I think that it's on their medium too. So a lot of the pools are ending. Um, so like, I, this is what I pay attention to all the time. I just look at these charts. I'm like the most boring person in the world. So today's 24th. So a lot of these pools are ending. So the balancer pools are ending today. The, um, cream supply borrow pools are ending today. Um, a few pools are around. So the Ren BTC pool is new. So that's going to be online for a while and a CRV pool, but a lot of pools are ending today. So I think that's going to be interesting. That's going to be interesting. I'm not sure if there's going to be a play there because if these pools are ending, it's good and bad. The good side is that there's less dumps because if you think about it, every day, 6,000 cream is being dumped on the market every day, right? That's being distributed every day. If you think about it at this price, right? It's close to a thousand dollars, not a thousand, a hundred dollars. So that's around $600,000 worth of, um, cream being distributed every day. And that could create quite a strong dumpamentals. So right now it's 89, right? But once this distribution stops, that's going to be interesting. That means all the mining and all that stuff, it just stops, right? It just stops hardcore. So that's going to be interesting to see what, what happens afterwards. It might be something potentially cool there, but, um, yeah, like, you know, I'm glad it's one of the things I'm glad to have mined. Super glad. Um, Bitcoin early says, a short video on how to track whales and insider wallets, please. I'll try to do that. I mean, if you guys are experts on that, I've looked into Nansen. Um, there's also a few Xeron, Xeron wallet. There's quite a few. We can track potential big wallets, um, right now. Uh, one of the scary things, someone pointed this out, was that for Yfeet 2, um, there's like a big, big miner for it. Um, in fact, the miner that's taking around 99% of the pool. So, yeah, like these whales are huge. And a lot of times these whales are actually just funds. Like they're big, big funds that take control. And it's crazy. It's kind of crazy like that. So anyways, um, you can probably do it. So one strategy, like, like say, for example, you look at Yfeet 2, you look at the balancer pool exchange, you're going to see, um, okay, let's see. Balancer swaps. No, you don't want this one. You want, you want to see the actual balancer pool. Let's see pool is a balancer. I'll take that link. You want this link because it shows you who are token holders. All right. So now we can see the pool. You can see who has money in there. There's $21 million inside. Great. And then 350 Yfeet in this pool. But more importantly, you can see the pool holders, right? And you can see one giant whale there. So this giant whale, someone pointed it out to me yesterday. Like this giant whale is taking up 99.29%. So this giant whale literally has $21 million inside. So then you can just take a look at this wallet. Um, now, now you know that this is the whale wallet. You can scan it. You can track where funds are going, which is going to be interesting. But yeah, that's how you can do research. So we can just look at this certain address. You can copy this address. You can now send it to different wallets and scan it. This address literally has what? This literally, this address is a giant Yfeet whale. Look at them that this address is holding a, what? Uh, 430 Yfeet tokens. That's like, what? $554,000 worth of tokens. Plus they're holding this balancer pool token. You can also see, wait, wait, is this right? Is this right? No, wait. I'll just scan this up. I'll just scan this up guys. I'll have to figure out. This is actually not, this is not a full wallet. This is actually a smart contract. Interesting. No, this is the staking. Oh no, no, no. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. All right. I'm stupid. I'm stupid. I'm stupid. I'm stupid. I'm stupid. Okay. All right. I'm stupid. I'm stupid. So, okay. All right. I understand now. I understand now. I understand now. So the person holding these pool tokens, that was a staking contract. Idiot. So no, there's no one giant pool holder. This is, this means people holding it. So the biggest whale would not be the 99%. This means everyone's staking it, right? So when you're staking, when you, when you get these BP, BP, BP, BP, BP tokens, you, you get them and you stake them on the YP2 contract. And then the YP2 contract obviously holds all the tokens. Right? Cause it's a smart contract. That's why I was like, that doesn't make sense. So that's right. That's right. So someone sent me this. They're asking if this is a whale. I thought it was a whale at first look, but it's not. It's just a staking contract, which is the whale. So I'm the idiot. So the biggest whale for this is probably this guy. The next highest, I can't really say that. These people are the ones that are holding this, but not staking it. So yeah, that's not the right way to do it. I'm correcting myself. I'm dumb. But yeah, you got to find big movements from that wallet. Hmm. Okay. That's easy. Okay. That's all. Some of my fears too. All right. Cool. Cool. Yeah. That's not a, that's not a whale guys. Ha ha. Mistake. Ha ha ha. Me being dumb. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha. All right. Cool. Yes. It's good. This is, this is cool. Why you think, ha ha ha ha. Make something up. That's why you think. Yeah. Logic. You see a smart contractor. Oh, now you know what's going on. Okay. Now we figured that clue up. So anyways, dude, uh, uh, crypto fun, fun, God says, God bless you blocks. You're not an idiot. Ha ha ha. At least I found out. Right. At least I found out. At least I found out. Yes. It's so easy. Right. Cause for balance or pool, like the steps are right. You can go and see where holders are, but yes, the holders can be smart contracts too. So like the steps are correct. You can see who the biggest holders of various pools are. You can follow the top wallets. Um, I'll give you guys a tutorial soon. Um, I'm not the expert at tracking wallets. I know some people who are, um, I'll just go play in and say, you know what? I haven't spent my one 10,000 hours on this yet. I'll do that today. Um, yeah. So that's pretty much it today. Um, let's figure out what else is going. Um, yeah. Isaac cases. I was going to say whale of 99.7%. Yeah. It's a, it's a staking contract that was there. We got why is this? Is that a grand cycle watch? Yes. Yes. Been loving grand cycle recently. It's like, I got, I bought one. I was like, Whoa, this stuff is so cool. Like the watchers are so well polished. I'm like a biggest grand cycle show. Now. Um, I showed that to a friend and he bought three watches. Uh, it's insane. That's crypto. Okay. Don't, don't blame us. Don't blame us. All right. Um, yeah. So that's pretty much it for today. We've got questions about uni trade and everything. I'll do a lot more videos. Um, yeah, soon. Um, yeah. Um, I'm obviously tired. I've obviously made a mistake. I owned up to it. That's great. Um, now I like, now we understand more. Uh, we got questions. Do you like band at all? I don't mind band. I think a lot of people are talking about band. Overall, I don't speculate too much on the Binance, uh, launchpad coins. Um, because by like, I guess like it's like, it's, it's a little bit harder to speculate on that, but you know, congratulations. If you hold band, I don't actually mind, I don't actually mind band too. Like a lot of people I've been talking to are using either band or Solana. So I think that's actually coming up as like something that people actually use. Um, Caleb says, all my homies hate band. I don't know why there's so much tribalism here going on. Um, yeah, yeah. Um, pretty much. Uh, YS is, do you have Rolex as well? Yes. Um, yeah, but Rolexes are really hyped up right now. It's super hard to acquire. Um, if you actually want to look and like, I was looking at GMT root beer, super hard. Like you're not going to get that retail and I don't want to pay people to scout me on that. So no, um, like that's kind of why I'm like, okay, you know what? These Grand Seco guys at least can buy them for like at retail and even with a discount. And then like, yeah, with Rolexes, you're just like, oh, please, please, sir, please, sir, please, sir, please, please give me one. And then they're like, no. All right, cool. That's enough for all this watch stuff and shit. Um, Solana is a big blockchain. That's what Solana's, um, the serum guys are building on Solana. That's why it's getting a lot of hype. Um, cause, um, the FT guys are super smart. Like literally in this space, you just follow the people who know what they're doing and you're pretty much good. Like no joke. Um, like a lot of people were asking me about like leverage trading and all that stuff. Like, let's be honest. Okay. Like if you look at FTX and Alameda, Alameda is their kind of a hundred million dollar fund. They don't trade as aggressively anymore. Um, they're not doing that. They're actually like much more interested in new coins, creating digital value, creating more stuff. Um, it's kind of crazy, but that's kind of the case. Um, yeah. Uh, all right. All right. Ulterior clowns. We got so many Grand Seiko fans. Yeah. Grand Seiko snowflake. That's, that's the one I got. Yeah. It's great. Um, super awesome. Um, all right. That's pretty much it for today's episode. Um, everyone say I'm becoming a DJ and Chad now pretty much. Um, nothing wrong with it. I guess just be safe guys. Let's be safe. Like DJ and Chats are making so much money. Um, a lot more people are making a lot more money than me. Okay. Let's be honest. That's why I'm motivated. Um, you know, just be motivated, do some hard work, bring some value. Don't scam people. Pretty much the rule now. All right, guys, that's pretty much it. Um, game purchases, favorite mining software or platform. Unfortunately, I don't mind as much right now. Um, I yield farm a lot. Um, but I don't farm as much. It just, farming is not scalable. You got to buy GPUs and stuff. And I guess, like, I guess when Nvidia releases their next batch of their Ampere GPUs, I'll mine more. But currently I just don't see the point. Um, like yield farming makes way more, like a lot more, like a lot more scalable too. Like, it just like throwing cash around and that's great. So, you know, um, that seems much more scalable. All right, guys, let's just don't be degenerate like me. Be, be pretty smart. Um, don't be a Chad. Um, you know, just don't, just be responsible. I don't want to, any more emails or people saying, look, I lost all my money. Just be smart. Um, I can't teach anyone, everyone to be smart. You got to be smart yourselves. Um, you know, you guys got to contribute to the channel a little bit. That'll be really appreciated. And yeah, thank you. We got, and RM, Rem, uh, says, thanks. Shout out from the Philippines. Awesome. I have some friends in the Philippines. Take care guys. Uh, last thing of course is, um, blind streams are happening at this time. So we have Monday morning. That's today, Monday newspaper, Monday mornings at 11 a.m. Hong Kong time, Friday mornings at 11 a.m. Hong Kong time. And then, um, um, yeah, we'll do some more streams throughout the week. I think that's the easiest way for me to organize, um, information. I'm going to schedule the next stream very soon. Let me just get this guy's out. Let me reuse the settings. Um, let me schedule that so you guys can, can, uh, watch that. I'll also do streams throughout the week as well. Um, that's going to be the plan. So, uh, why not? Um, so just be watchful of that. If you guys have like, um, notification squad turned on, uh, as I'm saying this, I should definitely talk to my notification squad guys. Um, so this is a video coming out in three days now, I guess scheduled for August 24, 28th. Yeah, that's right. So just hit the like button for that. Set the reminder up for that. That also really helps. And then, uh, um, the link is here and also we'll do a mini draw for all the notification guys. So what we'll do here is for people who stayed, let me just pull a chat person. So if you guys want a t-shirt, all right, um, just click, just type, I want a t-shirt and I'll just pick you one of you guys from random. So just do that in live chat right now. So just type, I want a t-shirt. We'll, we'll throw you one of these t-shirts. Um, so it's the box mining slash, uh, anti-social crypto club t-shirt. We'll just send you both. I order a box of these. And then I realized that shipping takes ages right now in Hong Kong. Um, but anyways, we, we, like we ordered a giant box of these. It's coming in later on this week, another giant box, the first giant box we gave away already. And then we have another giant box coming in. So yeah, we're going to do some more giveaways for t-shirts. So just type, I want a t-shirt on the live stream chat. If you want one and I'll do a draw for any video for notifications. What guys? So I guess, um, I guess this week, how many videos I do this week? Uh, okay. One, two, three, four, five. We'll do it for the public published videos. I guess, uh, there's only one published videos. Um, whatever. We'll do one, two, three, four, five. So random, random number. Between one, one, two, two, five. Holy crap. There are so many people who want t-shirts. Holy crap. I did not expect that. I was like, oh, people are really quiet. People are super quiet right now. And I was like, oh, no one wants a t-shirt. All right. Maybe I don't know what to do with my box, but then now I just see a flood of messages. Um, okay. Uh, let's go for Genji. Genji too. I think you spammed like the most, um, I guess I'm directly promoting spam, but, uh, message me at contact at box money.com. We'll do an identity verification. We'll also have Tristan. Tristan. Thank you. I'll get you a t-shirt as well. So we'll have a t-shirt launching station, I guess. So Tristan, uh, uh, uh, let me just message this. Tristan ruins, bruise. And we'll pick, um, Mike. Let's get Mike as well. This is so super random. I just like, I did not expect that. We'll have a better, we'll have a better mechanism later. Um, this didn't, I did not expect this. So yeah. So let's do Mike. Uh, let's see. Mike Hopkins. Here we go. Uh, I want a t-shirt. There you go. Yeah. So for t-shirts, we'll give you both since I guess it's like mailing is the most expensive part here. Um, we ordered these t-shirts off a Chinese supplier. Um, yeah, there's only single size. Unfortunately, it's like this size XL, which is, um, which is really just a large for Chinese like sizing. It's weird, but anyways, we'll do more t-shirt giveaways. I didn't expect that to be so crazy. Uh, yeah, we'll do this, um, very soon. So we'll, we'll get, we'll give t-shirts to Genji, Tristan ruins, Mike Hobbs, Hopkins. That's the current three. Just message me at contact that box mining.com. Um, for that. So we got people who really like free items. I did not expect that. So yeah. So number two got picked out and then we'll do video number two. So video number two is this one. This is live stream. And then I will pick a comment from that as well. YouTube comment picker. Holy crap. Should we do more giveaways guys? I did not expect that. I did totally did not expect, um, that to happen. So, yeah. Um, so that's, um, let's, uh, okay. Let me pick up include filter for a gift. Hashtag note. All right. Good comments. I think notification call people don't even realize it's happening right now. So if you guys want more t-shirts, uh, type hashtag notification squad. So this, this text here when a new video gets launched and then that's it. So winner is legend tube. Um, see fights dead defies, the future and hashtag notification squad. So congrats, um, legends dude, legends tube. So we got four give four t-shirts giveaway. Uh, we'll end up for now. We'll do more. So guys, if you want to be part and get a free t-shirt, type hashtag notification squad, uh, when a new video gets launched, um, be, you know, actually click on a notification bell as well. I mean, I guess that's the whole point of it. Um, and then we'll pick one out like this. Um, so yeah, so Michael Lewis says, Michael Lewis says, people like free stuff. I didn't know that. I, I guess, um, you know, if you guys really want, so, um, we did this earlier, but I guess like maybe you guys missed this before, but we had these engine giveaways and they use QR kit code giveaways. Um, if you guys want that, tell me, um, just so this marketplace, so you can go on engine marketplace. You can see the box money items. This is actually kind of crazy. So it's, it's just purely NFTs, non fungible tokens. Like these are kind of cool, um, for these assets and you can see how many there are. They're also backed by end. We did these as a giveaway before, like to test out the engine giveaway system. You scan a QR code and get it. Um, they're actually worth quite a lot. I mean, this one's worth like what, 20 bucks us. So I guess that's kind of cool. Um, you know, and then the coolest one is pirate box mining. The, one of the first NFTs out there. And it's like, there's only like 50 of them. This is where I kind of shoot myself in the foot because, um, I created this for fun, right? So I just did this. I, I, I was at a, um, it's a Bitcoin event actually. So this is actually a laser provided by the guys that hack it. And this is for the Halloween party, um, during Prague, Ethereum, DevCon. So while I was there, I took this photo. I was like, ha ha ha ha ha. Let me create that into an NFT asset. And I gave that away to people on this channel. So there's only like 49 of these in this world. Like there were 49 limited supply. I gave them away for free. In fact, like I still remember sitting in Ethereum DevCon. Like I was like, I was like, people want these. Okay, sure. I'll just give them away for free. And I just sat down and literally sent them to people who asked for it. And then I was like, the craziest thing about this is that like the last few transfers were like the market activity for this. Like people got this for free and they literally sold it for thousands. Like it's insane. I mean, I guess the sales are going down right now because no one's buying or selling, but like they're literally listing it and selling it for thousands of dollars. It's just insane. Like, so I'm one of those douchebags creating like thousand dollar NMTs. Douchebag. Right? Yeah. So that's kind of crazy. I just searched that up. I was like, I gave these out for free completely just for fun. Right? I'm just like, Oh, look, this is a cool photos and celebration. Anyone want me PM me, I'll give you one for free. So if you guys still have those, I think the marketplace is a pretty good place like to get one. So we've got BG 11 says, I got one. Nice. Congrats. I only have like one of these now. People were asking me for them. I gave them all out. I only have one for myself. Like I'm still trying to get more from other people. I'm like, yo, if you, if I gave it to you and you don't want to use it to send it back to me, please. Okay. If you don't lose it, don't lose it. It's like one of 50. I want to, it's like one of 50. Like that's just insane. Uh, crypto Fungazi says, was Vitalik picking his nose? But Vitalik ignored me. We're all calling for Vitalik and he just got scared and he ran away. Um, that's kind of fun. But anyways, so that's it for today, guys. Thank you guys so much for, um, watching today. I didn't realize like these things are so popular. I will definitely do more if you guys like. Um, but anyways, uh, PHM says, I believe those transfers are self traded as people like trolling. I don't think so though. Like I thought that too, but the market value for these things are insane. There was like a few engine whales out there that like collecting these. Like, um, so that's kind of the funny story is like for the market activity, I was trying out, I was selling these myself, right? I'm like, whatever. Let me put it on marketplace. Let me check it out. And people are actually buying them. Like they don't have any function. They're just like collectible card. People love these. I don't understand either. Okay. Um, I'm not like, I like collecting things too. Okay. To be honest, I like collecting things too. Would I spend thousands of dollars on it? Probably not because I'm such a cheapskate. I don't, I don't do that, but some people do. So I guess I admire you for it. Um, yeah. Anyways, guys, thank you so much for watching. We will have more stuff. Um, Michael Lewis says, I'll, I'll hold of the micro group pirate, the pirate coins. Dude, there's like 49 in supply. You got to find them. It's their heart. They're hard. They're hard to find. They are super hard to find. Uh, so we'll have to see on sale. Um, yeah, these things are on sale for crazy prices. So we'll have to see. We'll have to see pirate box mining. Uh, I don't think they're, they're on sale actually. Anyways, anyways, so I'm going to stop wasting your time guys. Thank you guys so much for watching. Um, uh, it's been a crazy day. Thank you guys so much watching. This is super cool. By the way, I'm super excited from this still. Come on guys, Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin. And someone says telegram link, please. Let me send it guys to telegram link. So yeah, so I'll probably close the link now. So I'll give you guys another 10 minutes to enter and then we'll close it off. Um, for now, for now, um, box, buy, buy, stream, stream, oh, biggie. yeah. So this is the one. Uh, yeah. So this is one. So yeah, if you guys, um, want to join, this is super cool. Um, yeah. Join 10 minutes. I'm going to close it. Thank you guys so much for watching today. See you guys next time. Um, yeah.
