AI Analysis
The crypto market is currently experiencing an intense meme coin frenzy, driven by the massive, often "insane" gains seen in tokens like Dogwifhat, which turned $1,000 into over $100,000. While these coins offer wild opportunities for quick profits due to their extreme volatility and high trading volumes, they are also incredibly dangerous and not meant for long-term holding. Solana has emerged as the prime playground for these meme coins because of its exceptionally cheap and fast transactions.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening and how to navigate this wild ride:
* Meme Coin Mania & Its Dangers: * The market is experiencing a "fucking crazy" and "savage AF" meme coin market, where coins can crash in hours or even minutes. This makes it difficult to discuss them in long-term videos. * Meme coins are "extremely dangerous" because not all of them will make it, and their lifespan can be very short. * Despite the risks, people are "aping" in, meaning they're investing heavily, often moving funds rapidly between different chains and coins. * The current meme coin volume isn't yet at the levels of Dogecoin or Shiba Inu's peak, suggesting there's still more room for growth once retail investors fully enter the market. * Psychologically, with Christmas approaching, people are looking for less serious, more comedic investments, which fuels the "dog with hat" and "cock inu" type of coins. It's not rational, but it reflects the market's need for fun.
* Solana: The Meme Coin Playground: * Bonk was a leading meme coin, hitting a $1.2 billion market cap from $500 million, a 2x gain. While impressive, it's considered "only" 2x in this volatile space. * Solana has become the "de facto playground for memes" because its low transaction fees make trading these highly volatile assets very cheap. * Even at the Solana Hackathon, about 20% of panel discussions focused on meme coins, which is unusual for a blockchain conference. They see meme coins as a "robust indicator" of a Layer 1 blockchain's strength. * Jupiter and Raydium are the two major exchanges dominating Solana meme coin trading, with Raydium seeing the most volume.
* Navigating the Meme Market: Different Strategies: * Michael's Strategy (Cautious & Research-Oriented): * Plays with 1 Solana per meme coin, aiming to take initial principal back once a coin is up 80%. If it drops, he adds more. * His goal is to "gauge the market" – understanding how quickly people pump and dump. * This strategy has yielded surprisingly good results: he's almost net neutral on Solana but has accumulated a bunch of "free" coins (where the principal was taken back). * Learned that memes are "a lot stronger" now compared to the bear market when Pepe initially pumped, as the results are less negative. * Uses tools like BirdEye to track entry and exit positions. * Discovered that the market has "super surprising" liquidity, making it fast to sell coins. * A key lesson: "Don't catch a dip on meme coins" – often, when they look dead, they can resurrect later. * His overall approach is more cautious, focusing on protecting his principal and hedging positions, especially given his longer history in crypto. * Ron's Strategy (Aggressive & Leveraged): * Focuses on "rotation plays" – quickly moving capital between trending meme coins (e.g., from Dogwifhat to Coq Inu). * Finds early pumps in "Alpha Telegram groups," which are more "degen" than public platforms like Twitter for live conversations. * Considers Bonk a HODL bag, but generally rotates fast. * Engages in leveraged trading on "really, really trending" coins like BRC-20s and Solana memes due to their extreme volatility. * Uses a small margin (e.g., $10) with very high leverage, entering at the lowest support range. This is an "asymmetrical bet" – he's fine if he loses it, but the gains can be "400%, 500%." * His philosophy is to "ride the momentum" rather than trying to buy the absolute bottom, and then "rotate quick, very fast." * He views it "like a game" and is willing to take higher risks to "make up for lost time" in crypto.
* Market Outlook & Future Narratives: * The current market is "PVP" (player vs. player) among experienced crypto individuals; retail isn't fully in yet, indicated by low new Bitcoin wallet generation. * Expects a meme market correction around Christmas as people take breaks from aggressive trading. * New liquidity coming to Bitcoin is critical for understanding future "rotation plays" into altcoins. * Upcoming narratives include: * GameFi: It's "heating up" with traditional finance showing interest. Projects like Shrapnel (Shrap) are gaining traction. The idea is that games can expose many new players to crypto. * DeFi: Still hot. * Launchpads: Making a comeback (e.g., Impossible Finance, TrustSwap, Polkastarter) as people anticipate new projects launching in a bull market, making them good "pre-bull" positions. * Rotation to "lagging" chains: After Avalanche (AVAX) and Injective saw huge pumps, chains like Fantom and Algorand might be next to get attention, especially Fantom which can support many meme coins. * Layer 2 solutions are also expected to see growth.
* Building Wealth Beyond Memes & Pre-Bull Run Positioning: * For more stable wealth building, liquid staking (e.g., Lido for Ethereum) is a good "invest and forget" strategy for passive income. * Yield farming on platforms like Beefy Finance can provide high APYs (e.g., 152% on AVAX/USDC), indicating high trading activity and helping gauge market interest. The calculators for impermanent loss are much better now. * The current market demands "smart people crypto" – you need to use your brain, know your exit points for memes, and understand concepts like impermanent loss for farming. * The Christmas period is "CRUCIAL" for positioning for the next bull run. The Bitcoin ETF approval (ARK shares on Jan 10th) is a major catalyst, and nobody wants to be "caught with their pants down" when it happens. * Bitcoin's strong performance this year means people can talk positively about crypto to their families during holidays, potentially triggering a "multiplying effect" and bringing in more retail investors, similar to the 2017 boom. * The "rocket is fueled" by factors like the upcoming Bitcoin halving, presidential elections, and expected interest rate cuts (three times next year).

Welcome back to me. Welcome guys to our live stream. So guys, meme coins have gone crazy and why would you blame people? Because just look at this news. Do you see this popping up like, oh this doesn't work anymore. But people have been making or turning $1,000 into $100,000. 100x returns on a meme coin called dog with hat. Right? This is insane. And this is actually before the second pump. This is actually... Yeah, if he had waited a bit more, it could have been... $200,000. Maybe half a milli...
Welcome back to me. Welcome guys to our live stream. So guys, meme coins have gone crazy and why would you blame people? Because just look at this news. Do you see this popping up like, oh this doesn't work anymore. But people have been making or turning $1,000 into $100,000. 100x returns on a meme coin called dog with hat. Right? This is insane. And this is actually before the second pump. This is actually... Yeah, if he had waited a bit more, it could have been... $200,000. Maybe half a million dollars. But this is the insanity we're dealing with. We're seeing very high trade volume on meme coins and we have to talk about this. But we're going to give you guys an honest take on it because absolutely it's crazy. The amount of gains, the amount of volume, it's nuts. But that being said, it's not always winners. All right? And this is why we're going to have two contrasting opinions here. So me, on my side, I've done my meme coin research for the past three, four weeks now. But Ron has been doing it for months on end. Right? And I have a lot of exposure as well. I'm going to tell you exactly what I've done. I'm going to be very transparent. I've been trading it massively with my channel yesterday. And I can tell you, it's actually TLDR. I'll do a spoiler alert. TLDR, it's a fucking crazy market. There is a lot of opportunity, but it is savage AF. All right? We are savage AF. There are coins that will crash in hours. And when you're playing meme coins, you're looking at things in the hour time frame sometimes. Yes. Hour or minutes. Minutes. Minutes. Minutes time frame. So it's not... This is not a... This is not a... I would say this is why it's actually very hard for us to do a live stream about this. And to do even not... Do a long-term video about this. You know why? It's because at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, these are not all hodl coins. Not all of these are going to make it. Mm-hmm. Especially when you're talking about a huge quantity of live streams. So I just put that out there. That's not financial advice, blah, blah, blah. But meme coins are extremely dangerous. But because sometimes I'm overly cautious, I feel like Ron here is a little bit more aggressive. So do you want to do an intro, Ron, like what you've been doing and what's happening recently? Yes. So for those of you who have seen my live streams on Box Mining Plus, I've covered a lot about meme coins for the past two weeks. And I covered about Bonk when it was at 500 million market cap. And now it's like 1.2 billion. You know? 2x! Not bad! I mean... 2x only? Not bad! Hey! Because it's very dangerous to talk about meme coins in general. But the current marketing conditions right now is people are really, really, really aping. They're just yeeting ETH into another chain and then they're going to rotate it into another chain. So last one... And you've been trading a lot recently, right? Yes, yes. You've been... The story of Ron is I made him quit video games. So I was like, Ron, you have to quit video games, okay? And then you have to come into crypto like hardcore. So you're now hardcore into crypto. You're trading at night. Yeah, my playtime on TradingView, three different exchanges, DEXs as well. Very up, very high. And I've just been looking at Twitter and Telegrams. And here's where... In every Alpha group, pretty much. And here's where you want to really look at meme coins that are going to pump fast. It's when they're sharing it on Alpha Telegram groups. Because they talk about it. They degen a lot more than Twitter, right? Twitter is mostly like public announcement type stuff. But when you want live conversations, Telegrams is there. And the lifespan for those kind of conversations is like a day or two. And then they're going to rotate into another meme point, if that makes any sense. All right, let's get excited. Let's get started. Let's go. Let's fire off the opening. Let's go. Let's go. All right, guys. We're back. We're back. We're back. Okay, so I feel like I haven't streamed a lot. So I think Shogo Baggins is asking where everyone's at. I do see that I think people are funneling in. I think I did a mistake here. I think I share this on both. I share this live stream on both channels right now. BoxMining Plus and BoxMining Normal. So I think I shouldn't do that in the future. Because I think that actually affects the YouTube algo. But anyways, guys, let's take a quick look at just the meme coin scenario or the market conditions right now. So there's a lot of red on the market today. Actually, we're kind of slowly recovering. We see Bonk at minus 17 percent. But that's expected, right? Bonk had a crazy run. This is the Bonk was the leader of this run. It shot all the way up. And it got listed on two major exchanges, Coinbase and Binance. Not Bonk, Bonk, Box. Bonk. I can look here. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Oh, sorry, sorry. You're much faster. But anyways, but this is a situation where it just had an enormous rally, right? Like if you manage to scoop up Bonk here, it'd be insane. Even here or here, these are crazy entry points. And we were talking before we started this live stream because the creator of Bonk was actually at the Solana Hackathon. So if you guys watched our video on the Solana Hackathon, we interviewed different people. And yeah, like there were legit projects, but there's also a lot of memes there, right? And I think that's one thing that I didn't really cover that aggressively. I feel like I should have put memes front and center, but we did talk to the guy. Yeah. And what's interesting is I'd say 20 percent of their panel discussions are solely about meme coins, which is interesting because you don't see that in an Ethereum conference or any other chain conferences. But Solana, they are... Quite D-gen. Yeah, very D-gen. But the data that they presented when they're doing their presentations, they explained very well that meme coins are a robust indicator to show how strong a layer one is. Yeah, because right now it's super cheap to trade a Solana. So like looking at dog with hat, look, the volume is nuts. All right. 24 hour volume is $74 million, right? That is a lot of... That's a lot of volume, right? Yeah. And on top of that, each trade on Solana is doing is super cheap, which is why Solana is pretty much becoming the de facto playground for memes now because of just how cheap it is. Right now there's two major exchanges dominating Solana. So just Jupiter and Radium. Radium. Radium. But Radium seems to be not as good, but it seems to have more coin choices than everyone else. I kind of disagree, actually. If you pull up Dune Analytics, right? Uh-huh. Where's the one? Oh, I shared it with you. It's here. Me and Erotica. Oh, this is the other one. I'll show you the other one. So Solana shitcoin. I'm actually quite surprised that the chat volume is so low. It feels like a lot of people are not able to chat. That's it. Are you guys having... Okay. So we see chat happening on Box Money Plus. Okay. Hey. I think people are on both Plus and on the main Box Money Mining channel. So... Okay. Box Money. It's surprising that we have people watching, but the chat is not that strong. We actually have more chat on the other one. So just using memes. Okay. Guys, say hi if you're here. Okay. Because I'm just seeing what's up with the chat here. It's a bit. Do you have login, Michael? No, I don't have login, actually. Okay. But basically this page. So you just Google Solana shitcoins. Okay. Most of the volume actually came from Radium. From Radium. Exactly. And if we look at... What was that? Dog with hat. Mm-hmm. This is all just on chain. This is insane. That's insane volume. That is actually quite nuts. So here's the deal. So let me tell you my story. And then we'll tell Ron's story as well. But my story with this is that I've been buying a lot. So I've been tracking my wallet. So I created a new wallet for this. It's just Michaelbox.Soul. So that's a Solana account I've been trading. So I've been a little bit degen. So I'll show the group right here. Say hi, everyone. So in the main Box Money private group, what I've been doing is that anytime someone talks about a meme coin, I'll buy it. All right. That's... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense, right? So I bought both new coins like Dog with hat. And then we got like Grussy. We got Dog with gat. Dog without hat. Cat. Like, I mean, there's a bunch, right? There's Goku. People like Goku. There's a ghost with hat. So I've been buying a lot of these coins. And my policy was I'm just going to play with one Solana each. And then if the coin goes up, I'll take profit at around probably like 80% to one up. If it's up 80%, I'll take my initial principal back. Yeah. And then afterwards, if it goes down, I'll add some more. All right. So that was my policy. So, so far, I can tell you the result was that after playing for yesterday and today. And I really use the word play here because there's really not much to this. There, you know, it's good to get a market gauge. And this is why I do this, right? To get a gauge in how strong the market is and how fast people dump and how fast people pump, right? These are the two main factors, right? How strong is the pump? The pump. The pump. The pump and how strong is the damp, all right? The damp is also strong, all right? So, so, so the end result, all right, after playing yesterday is that I'm almost net neutral in terms of Solana. But what I have gained is I have gained a bunch of coins. So I pretty much got coins for free because the coins that I bought, it went up in value. And I took my principal back. So I got it back. So it's not a large amount. It's not, it's not a large amount to play. But the results are actually surprisingly good. This is a good comparison versus last time I did this experiment. So I did this. I always gauge the market with meme coins, all right? So this is the, there's a reason for doing this. So last time what I did was I asked people like, yet again, same, same strategy. What, what meme coins are you guys into? And then we'll enter positions, right? So last time we did this, it was right after PeiPay took off to the moon. But what happened was that the results were extremely negative, right? So this was a total deployment of $8,000. But then last time the market crashed very, very quickly because it just couldn't sustain itself. And this was in the bear when PeiPay was bumping. This was in the bear. This was in the bear. So this like roughly the time, the time for this was, was at this time when PeiPay was here. Yeah. Was this, uh... All the way down here. All right, all right, good. Great to have Ron, by the way. Ron is a very good, like he, he's, he's, he's sometimes sub, he's sometimes scary, but he's, he's very good nowadays. So, um, so, uh, this was at this time in, uh, April, June-ish, but, uh, at that time memes were not as strong as this. I'll say right now that memes are a lot stronger. People are, are definitely deploying more into memes. Yeah. Um, it's not, I would say it's not Dogecoin levels. It's not, it's not, it's not here. Okay, it's not, we're not at this level. So, so I think that's my general analysis of situation where you buy these memes and they go up, especially memes. Um, what went up for me were memes that seem to be dead. So people are like, oh, don't buy, you know, Doge with hat. It seems to be like overbought. But because there's so much fun in the market, rather like going against the market sometimes is good. Um, and then, uh, like, yeah, the small ones, like, uh, what was it? Uh, K-pop went well for me. Uh, Popcat went well for me. Like you joke, it is, right? These things are very, very, like, it's, it's just stupid, right? It's like, I mean, there's a dog with a hat and a dog without a hat. Uh-huh. Right? I mean, like, uh, but one good way to track it, if you guys are interested in playing with this and playing around, I think BirdEye was pretty good. Um, because it actually shows you your entry positions. Like if you log in with your wallet, uh, it shows you your entry position, your exposition. Um, and obviously what was super surprising was just how fast and how, um, how much liquidity there is in this market. So when you need to sell a coin, coin it was fast. All right. So I think that was a general take on it. Does, um, how was your, or your experience, Ron? So it's all about rotation in this space right now for meme coins. So, because now what's popping is dog with a hat. And then over the weekends, it was cock in you. Yeah, cock in you. Cock in you. Cock in you. Someone in the comment told me that it's actually a play on word. It's cock in you. It's not cock out of you. It's cock in you. Exactly. And now they're making black cock in you. So this tells you the sensibility of the market. I mean, like I'm facepalming because I've been in this space for such a long time. And like sometimes you're just like, oh my God, can people stop being so immature? But it makes sense, right? Like if you think about it from a rational perspective, like Christmas is coming up. Right now we are December 20th. Oh my God. We're five days away from Christmas. No one wants to be serious, right? No one wants to be serious. So people, people want dog with hat. Dog, um, Lama666 says dog with bra. And we have SD, wife with hat. Was it wife or wife with hat? Anyways, with hat. So, so people, people are looking for comedy at this point. I think there was so much stress in the markets. People are looking for it. This is why, this is why we see this explosion and people putting good money. So is it rationally? I don't think it's rational. But at the same time, sometimes the rationality is good. Yeah. So like my strategy is if you had FOMO'd in and you caught yourself trapped when you bought at all time high, you have to consider what kind of meme coins you're looking at. So their hodl bags and then their rotation plays. Right. So the, the hodl bags for me right now is, is bonk. So I got in. You're still hodling bonk? Yeah. If we look at bonk's price. All right. I have a confession to make. I sold all my bonk. Oh, maybe you caused that. I sold all my bonk. You caused the retrace. I sold, I sold all my bonk. I did buy bonk guys. But then I was like, the moment, um, okay, I'll show you guys. So it doesn't sound like I'm, I'm taking a shit on you guys. But, um, uh, the moment people are talking about like, oh, we're still early. We're like, um, I'm expecting 10 billion cab. I'm like, okay, I'm out. Like when people post like that, it's like, it's too aggressive. Yeah. It's too aggressive. It's, it's still not at that time. I like my, my general take on this was like, why I was a little bit cautious, more cautious than normal is because it's still not that insane time yet. Right. Exactly. Because if you look at the trading volume for meme tokens, right? We didn't have as crazy as we did for Pepe. And this correlates with Bitcoin's price. This would be an exception because this was during the bear when Bitcoin was around 20, 25 ish K. And now when we're turning up, it's still kind of pretty slow. So there's still much room to be made. So if you think you're caught buying in at the top, there are going to be several meme coins that are really going to ride when Bitcoin reclaims all time high. We want to see volume like this, right? This was mostly dominated by Dogecoin. And then here was Shiba Inu, right? And now here we have all sorts of variety. So this is my cautious play. So I'm not sure if this can focus on the camera or focus on this. There you go. So I was a little bit sneaky here. I guess you guys can see it. I bought it on the way up. So you can see the average price was 0.009. And then I sold it pretty much on the top. Because I was like, people were too bullish on this, right? Like when people are talking about exchange listings, you always like kind of sell at that time. So I actually managed to exit with 2x on this. But I feel like this was the right play, right? Like now I can re-enter. I don't actually mind re-entering at this point. What you can do is you can just scalp long and then rotate again. Yeah. That's all I've been doing. But I think that makes sense, right? That actually makes sense as an altcoin trading strategy. Don't be too greedy right now. Like it's good to hold on to some. Like if you look at what I'm doing with these like early meme points. I'm just holding on. I took some profit and I'm holding on. I'm not going to, I'm not looking to make like not financial advice, but my strategy was I'm not going to make crazy, crazy amounts. Yeah. Because like I still need to protect principle, right? And I think like everyone's strategy is different. But for me, protecting principle is important and getting a market gauge is important. For me, yeah, like I feel like gauging the market and sensing what the market needs and wants is a lot more important because I'm looking, I'm looking at the road further down. I can see a much bigger volume wise. Like I can see like if you talk about trade volume right now, we're tiny, right? I can see another huge explosion like the Pepe explosion, but coming probably in like after April. Yeah. March April. Yeah. At around that time when the excitement is on. Right now the retail in terms of the general public people viewing, I know I see that the numbers are up, but it's like the retail numbers is not ridiculous yet. Yeah. Right. It's not, it's not, it's not fully there yet. So I feel like it's still a situation where we just need to have a more cautious approach. But, but I think you also have a different approach run because you were also playing on leverage a few times. What was, what was your theory behind that? Uh, for leverage, mostly I look at the ones that are really, really trending on top. So BRC twenties and Solana meme coins. But like I said, it's a, what was the thought behind that strategy? Why would you think, why would you, why would you want to do leverage on meme coins? Because of the trading volume. The first thing I look at is trading volume. And if it's high, I know it's going to be volatile. So what I do is I look at the, the four hour timeframe for the longer meme coins. The small ones I don't even look at, like there's no point doing TA. But if we look at bonk, you can actually scalp it very well. If you know what you're doing. But, but also I just want to fill in this. I think, I think it's just filling the audience in here. Right. But it's like, uh, you play it because of the extreme volatility. And it's an asymmetrical bet to you, right? To you, it's an asymmetrical bet. Right. So, so what you're doing is you're doing extreme leverage. And if you lose the position, you're fine. I think that's, that's, that's, that's key. That's key here. Right. Yeah. So I just put $10 margin and then I do really high leverage, but I enter at the lowest support range. So if I miss out, then it's fine. Right. But if I, if the, if it retraces to that level, then, okay, I got in. And then if it bounces up, then that's already like 400, 500%. So you're looking for these impossible gains. Yeah. You don't mind risking it off. So I think it's all different strategies because we all adapted. And I feel like something that having Ron here is good at is because we, we have different ways of getting to that position. Right. Because Ron's starting point is a little bit later than me. He joined crypto a little bit later. Yeah. So he's trying to make up for the lost time. Exactly. For me, I've been here longer, but I'm more worried about my position. Right. If I, if I lose a lot of the wealth accumulated over time, I feel like it's going to take a lot of time for me to work that up. So, so for me, I'm looking for, obviously, I'm still looking for big returns right now, but I'm also looking for ways to hedge. Yeah. You know, that infamous tweet where, you know, a certain person in Alameda did not hedge, but, you know, as I get a little bit older, I'm looking to hedge my positions. I'm still, I'm still, I still want to have fun, but I want to make sure that my positions are hedged. So I feel like that's, that's a little bit of difference here. Yeah. But also, I want to see on leverage as well, something that I did try last season with Dogecoin was I purchased the Doge Bowl. Mm-hmm. So Doge Bowl was a 3x leverage position on Doge. Oh. Right? Oh, yeah. And it, and it's like, at that time, I thought I was crazy, right? At that time, I thought this is like such a crazy strategy. People tell you not to leverage, and then you go leverage the most volatile asset. Like, are you stupid? Yeah. But it makes perfect sense. Yeah. Right? Because at the end of the day, this is like, you're, you're, you're kind of like embracing how volatile and how crazy it can go up. Yeah. It can go crazy down, but it can go crazy up. Exactly. Right? So, so that actually worked very well when Elon was not tweeting about Doge. Yeah. Right? So Doge father at that time, he was hot, but then he wasn't tweeting about Doge. So I was like looking for peers when he stopped tweeting, and I was like, this guy, it's, it's, it's in waves, right? He's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna like, he's gonna tweet and shut up and then tweet and shut up, right? So during those waves, I was taking on Doge positions, and I think that was a good trade. So I think everything works, but yet again, because it's not financial advice, you guys need to have your own discretion. Yeah. But I do want to say Lama6666666, we're still early, and I totally agree. I mean, if you look at the amount of volume, like total volume on meme points, it's not there yet. And I feel like retail isn't really here yet either. No. No. No. Because something I've realized with these meme coins is that the people who are playing are people who are like deep into our channels, like deep into private channels. It's still very PVP right now. Yeah. There's, it's like, we cannot defy gravity. And plus, if you look at newcomers coming to Bitcoin, you look at new Bitcoin wallet generating. Because usually the ones that come into crypto first, they always look at Bitcoin first, right? So, and recently, it's still pretty low in terms of new wallet being generated. So that's one of the indicators that says we're still not. Yeah, we're still not there yet. We're still, I feel like this is going to be an interesting event because we see, we see an event like this when I first joined crypto, where Christmas people calm down. So I expect that the meme market will have a correction near Christmas because people will not have this crazy amount of time to trade. I mean, people who are trading right now, they're, they're experienced in crypto. They, they, they know how to, they, they know how to be aggressive. But at the same time, they need to take a break. So Christmas is, I expect when they take a break. But that's when also people start talking to other people about Christmas, right? Protolisk says it's PVP right now. And that's PVP with the crypto people, right? There is a little bit of gain in the market. So I feel like there is a little bit of asymmetry here. It's not like, so I rather play this than to play casino because casino, the house always wins. Yeah. But I see here that the meme coin market is growing. So when you're playing on a growing market, it makes sense. Yeah. Like you do have, you're, you're PVP, but you have a, but the house is losing or the house, the house is growing, right? The house is growing and it's here. But when retail comes in, that's when the big, like big impact comes. And this is what I think we're all looking for. So I kind of see this as a break. I'm balancing my time between investing in different projects. We see a lot of GameFi projects popping up. I see GameFi being hot. I see DeFi being hot. I see a lot of projects still raising with a $1 million raise, which is very, very sexy with big names attached to it. So I see a lot of sexiness in the market. VCs are aggressive again. VCs are aggressive again. You know, recently I've spent a lot of time on Fame, which is like, there's a totally wild different concept. Like it was all about these influencers, artificial AI influencers. It had a, it had a crazy launch and now the price has stabilized. But I see like, I see like legit projects that are capturing a particular industry. I see that as the long-term play for the months of like, I say like January, February, March. I see that coming in because the people who are working hard now, they're, they're focusing on these projects. There's also talk about rotation as well. I see that in the next season, there's going to be rotation to coins or to chains that don't have that much attention. It's like all of a sudden AVEX just got a lot of attention, right? And then that rotation rotated to Injective. Yeah. Like Injective had like a huge volume. Insane. I never thought it would make past $30. Yeah. And people were initially funding Cosmos based blockchains. Yeah. But the people who have built and done good work, that's going to come next. So I feel like my time is split between memes, which I feel like is worth the research time. And also looking at the split between memes and then looking at the rotations. So I think next rotations, we can probably look at maybe near, maybe looking at Phantom. Phantom is huge. It's lagging behind. It's lagging. Yeah. Phantom is lagging behind. But what's interesting is Phantom can support a huge number of meme coins. So if we know that this is like the preview of what's to come, then Phantom is going to be crazy. So Phantom, looking at, what is it, Algorand a little bit. Algorand's never really got the time in the spotlight before. Yeah. I feel like it's there. And of course, the Layer 2 solution. So I can definitely see that the market is just like, it's a good time to commit a lot of time. And it's a good time to gauge the market. Am I fully deployed to memes? No. I can kind of see the way I'm playing. I'm playing as a research perspective. But the other perspective is Ron is playing as an alpha perspective. You're getting, you're getting. I play it like it's a game. You play it like it's a game. But obviously, I have hodled bags. Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. That makes sense. So I feel like that's kind of the pulse of the market right now. Tony says, look for projects that have all coins in circulation. Absolutely. And there was one experience I had yesterday with, it was, what was it? It was a cat. Maxwell the cat. Max cat. Maxwell. Maxwell the cat. What was kind of interesting with Maxwell the cat was that when I dumped it, it dumped like with crazy. So, so, actually, it's actually pretty interesting. So. If you see a movement like, oh, Michael, the camera. It's hiding the. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. That's right. Let's move that. Let's move our heads a bit. So that's kind of interesting. When it dumped, it dumped with like impunity. Yeah. Impunity. But then, of course, it resurrected. So, like, it's surprising. It's surprising. Sometimes, like, you have to have guts for this. Yeah. So I tried to catch a dip here. It was kind of interesting with this trade. I tried to catch a dip and it's like, it's very hard to catch a dip. Yeah. All right. I tried here to catch a dip and then I just, like, dumped even more. Right. Yeah. So I think that was my experience. I was like, okay, no. Don't catch a dip on meme coins. I think that was one experience I learned from yesterday. It's like, don't catch a dip. Maybe, maybe, like, when it kind of peters down, people think it's dead. Okay. Now, I actually resurrected. So I think, I think I can get my money back. But we'll see. We'll see. If you're trapped, you want to look for a move like this where it's consolidating sideways. And it'll take pretty long sometimes. But this is on the 15-minute chart. So we're looking at how many hours, maybe seven or eight hours. Then it starts turning up. Then if this breaks past this, then it's a good time to enter. You're not going to enter from the bottom. But at least you're riding the momentum. Which is what meme coins is all about. If you cannot buy from the bottom, you're riding on momentum. And then you rotate quick, very fast. That's how it works. Yeah. And I think it's a different place though. Like, initially when I came into this, I didn't want to be glued to my computer. Yeah. Right? Like, this is like, it's unfortunate. But like, sometimes you want to invest and forget. Yeah. Right? Like, I did my invest and forget last month. So in terms of my personal strategy, what I've done a lot is I've been using Lido to extract the most out of my Ethereum. So liquid staking is really good. I try to set up a lot of my own nodes for this. You know, I got guys showed you all nodes and how to do it. But at the end of the day, I ended up just using Lido because it was just so fast. Like, you can buy Ethereum and stake it, right? Buy and stake, buy and stake, buy and stake. So I've been doing that on my personal front. And these are things that I can just like, forget about, right? Like, stake it, forget about it. Check up on your wallet once in a while. Yeah. The other one that was quite interesting in terms of building up my passive wealth was stuff on Beefy Finance. So Beefy is a good chain. This is actually taught by my good friend, Justin Wu. He's been researching very heavily on coins here. But something that he's been doing is he's been looking at different chains and he's been seeing what the strongest APY is. What's interesting about that is it tells you what people are trading. The APY comes from trading. So you actually start to understand what people are trading and also what to farm, right? So I threw myself, I threw coin at the AVEX USDC, APT, and it's getting 152% APY. It aggregates all DEXs. It aggregates DEXs, which is good. So you can see that the market right now, there are so many tools right now to use. And you can use tools in different ways. You don't have to ape into everything, but you can use tools to get a gauge. Okay, AVEX has a lot of trade activity here. Trader Joe is good. And you can actually look at their historical rates. And these were super high APY, like the 1,000% APYs. These came at a time when AVEX was pumping. So when they're pumping, obviously the APY is a lot higher. You do suffer in permanent loss. But I feel like right now, what's very different about farming now versus farming then is that the calculators are much better. So you can understand your positions a lot better. And you can understand how much your daily gains are at this point and your gauge in the market. So those are some tools I hope to share a lot of alpha with you guys on this channel to grow our channel. This is a lot more intense in terms of the content coverage. I feel like right now it's smart people crypto. This is not like a dumb fire and forget crypto right now. It's like you have to use your brain. If you're trading meme coins, you have to know when your exit points are. If you're trading or you're getting alpha, you must understand what impermanent loss is and to min max on everything there. So that's my two cents on everything. People are saying it's dumb money right now because people are investing in meme coin. It's rotation plays. It's the veterans who are rotating their capital from one point to another. So maybe two weeks later we get like a mosquito meme coin. Mosquito, mosquito. Savvy, Savvy. All right. And then also, I just saw this right now. Just like a quick talk about this. There's launch pads are really heating up. So the last trend that I was seeing was like all the launch pads are like moving ridiculously. So there's like... I haven't heard about launch pads since 2021. Yeah, but like... But like I think... What was it? Impossible Finance? Ah! Are they... Dude, they're up a lot. They're like... They're up a lot. Trust swap is up. Because I keep tabs on these things. Look at how much these things have grown. All these launch pads. Because people are expecting projects to launch. People are expecting the bull market. So... I also heard on one of the Alpha Telegram groups. They're doing another token presale. So... But just a general show. I mean... Yeah. Trust swap is up. Just off the top of my head like that. You know, all the pads are up. Like they're up like aggressive. Like aggressive up. Like, you know, quite a lot. So... Maybe not the right... Like... Likely there's going to be a cooldown. And we see that happening already. That cooldown is happening a little bit. But I see that... I see this like a trend, right? Because people are expecting a similar run to last time. In which case... Having... Having... Positions in... Launch pads is good, right? Weight is also up. They're also doing launches. It makes sense, right? Because there's going to be launches. And money is going to be made. So launch pads and anything with launch in it is like... And it makes perfect sense. It makes sense. The bull run. Yeah. It is a bull run. Like... Look at these things. It's a pre-bull. It's a pre-bull. Pre-bull. When reclaim all-time high, that's one bull. That's it. Yep. Yep. Yep. The true bull. So I think it's quite interesting. Like Gamefire is also big. So... So launch pads. Games are huge. I think people... Like... What's kind of interesting is that they're... The traditional finance industry... Loves games. We went to the gaming conference here. I mean, Hong Kong. People just want to have exposure. Yeah. I was actually talking to Ether Games yesterday, which is quite interesting. They... Actually, there's an ad here. I was like, oh, okay, cool. That's cool. But Ether Games was actually doing some really good stuff as well. So I'm excited because if people can get... Like... If games can expose players to crypto... Yeah. It's going to be good. But games are hard. So anyways, we're going to cover all that in the future episodes. I do actually really appreciate you guys for coming in, tuning in today. Thank you guys so much for watching. I want to keep the stream chill, relaxed. And if you guys can subscribe, it would be very helpful. Also, we have a chat that you guys can join. It's a fully DJ chat. It's a private group. But join it for a lot of shares on stuff that's going on. So let me open it up. I think this is probably... Yet again, I think this last month I'm going to open this up for public. Because at the end of the day, we don't want too many people in there to be messy. So this one is like show alpha. That's real alpha, but don't show crap in there. So come in the Telegram group. Say hi to us. Let's grow the channel. Let's grow everything. And stay tuned to this channel because we have a lot more coming up. So this is a good intro. If you guys don't know Ron, Ron's been working here heavily. And he's very aggressive now. He quit gaming for you guys. Pineapple Love says, speaking of games, he says, which game coin ready to explode? Shrap. Shrap and Fire. Shrap, no, it's not bad. Shrap, no. They recently launched, right? It's still on the wait list for Epic Game Store. Okay. I think they're going to launch soon. I saw they were the talk of the town when it came to Bybit. I was in Bybit offices. Everyone was like, oh my gosh, Shrap. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. Shrap, no. I saw you grin. If market makers buy those tokens, they're positioning themselves for the bull run when people start buying those tokens. So when the GameFi narrative starts getting really hot again, then you'll see Shrap going high. And then when the game comes out, you know what I'm saying? So that's positioning. So guys, I know I haven't been super active in making videos, but I have been super active in crypto. But it's my time to come back. I feel like I was a little bit selfish. I positioned, I looked after my bags first, unfortunately. I had to buy my coins after position. I had to like execute what I said. And I had to move different money around. But now it's actually a good time. I cleared up enough schedule to make more content. So as I said, everyone to the office here, Christmas is canceled. Ron's like, shit, Christmas is canceled. It can't be Santa Claus anymore. It's actually our best time to get our positions in. Because if you think about the timing, as for the approval for ETF, Bitcoin, January could be a possible date. And if January, if January something happens there, I don't want to be caught with my pants down. So a lot of the stuff that I'm doing now is to make sure that I'm not caught with my pants down. Because that's the worst, the last thing you want when a bull market comes. It's like you're caught with your pants down. It's over. It's over. So ARK shares is January the 10th. So if you think about it, we actually only have like, what, 20 days for that. Yeah. That's insane. That's not a lot of time. So you got to make sure you guys have, like for me, not financial advice. For me, I am making sure I have my correct deployments. Like I have market in. And also, just as a precaution as well, I know I'm a little bit more cautious than usual. I do have extra money to buy the dip if it does happen to come during Christmas. I do see that Christmas could cause a potential dip. Maybe. But the effect here is that crypto has been going up. And the effect that we've seen is that when people go back and talk about Bitcoin to their families, when the markets are up, it's a multiplying effect. Like for the last year, Bitcoin has been performing well. Right. So anyone who's entered in Bitcoin during this year, they can go back to their families. And instead of getting slaps on the face, they'll be giving gifts and getting love. A lot of love. A lot of love. A lot of love. Right. So we've seen that when the 2017 bull market came. People went back. They talked about Bitcoin. And boom, we had the second massive explosion. And this could be it because Bitcoin is fueled up. We've got the halvening coming. We've got the ETFs being talked about. We've got all presidential elections. We've got the interest rate potentially going down next year. Three times, I heard. Yeah. So it's fueled up. This rocket is fueled. So that's why I'm not wasting time on this. Right, guys? Play safe. But at the same time, talk about crypto to your families as well. Yeah. It's going to be fun. All right, guys. Thank you guys so much for watching today. Peace. Peace.
