welcome to money is freedom

2
00:00:01,966 --> 00:00:02,900
a podcast

3
00:00:02,900 --> 00:00:06,100
exploring how finance and freedom connect in our lives

4
00:00:07,033 --> 00:00:08,866
created from thoughtful research

5
00:00:08,866 --> 00:00:10,366
and narrated by Notebook L

6
00:00:10,366 --> 00:00:11,333
m a I

7
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,300
this series brings you clear

8
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:16,000
meaningful insights into finance and beyond

9
00:00:16,166 --> 00:00:19,800
episode 36 examines the current cryptocurrency market

10
00:00:19,966 --> 00:00:21,766
noting price dips in Bitcoin

11
00:00:21,766 --> 00:00:25,333
Ethereum and Solana and extreme fear in the market

12
00:00:25,466 --> 00:00:28,266
attributed to hacks and geopolitical factors

13
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,766
it draws parallels

14
00:00:29,766 --> 00:00:32,600
between the current bitcoin cycle and 2017

15
00:00:32,633 --> 00:00:35,300
highlighting similarities in market corrections

16
00:00:35,466 --> 00:00:38,333
institutional involvement and altcoin volatility

17
00:00:38,433 --> 00:00:41,633
hey everyone welcome to another deep dive into crypto

18
00:00:41,633 --> 00:00:42,466
yeah today

19
00:00:42,466 --> 00:00:43,566
we're tackling a question

20
00:00:43,566 --> 00:00:45,666
I know a lot of you have been thinking about

21
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,100
are we seeing your repeat of 2017

22
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,200
that crazy year of massive highs

23
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,700
and then devastating lows

24
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,066
to try and figure this out

25
00:00:55,066 --> 00:00:57,366
we've got a ton of stuff to look at today

26
00:00:57,366 --> 00:00:59,100
real time market data of course

27
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:01,566
some insights from Crypto Daily

28
00:01:01,766 --> 00:01:05,700
Money is freedom and even a chart analysis

29
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:07,366
so much to unpack right

30
00:01:07,366 --> 00:01:08,166
it's gonna be a good one

31
00:01:08,166 --> 00:01:10,066
I think the question on everyone's mind is

32
00:01:10,066 --> 00:01:12,400
are we on the verge of another crypto boom

33
00:01:12,666 --> 00:01:14,233
or are we headed for a bust

34
00:01:14,233 --> 00:01:14,900
exactly so

35
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:16,100
let's start with what's actually happening

36
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:16,966
in the market right now

37
00:01:16,966 --> 00:01:19,500
things are uh definitely a bit shaky

38
00:01:19,666 --> 00:01:22,466
bitcoin has dipped below $90,000

39
00:01:22,466 --> 00:01:23,566
for the first time since like

40
00:01:23,566 --> 00:01:24,466
mid January

41
00:01:24,466 --> 00:01:27,800
so that a drop of almost 7% in just 24 hours

42
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,566
it's a sea of red out there ethereum

43
00:01:29,566 --> 00:01:31,766
and Solana are down too over 7%

44
00:01:31,766 --> 00:01:35,666
4% each there's a lot of unease in the market for sure

45
00:01:35,666 --> 00:01:36,766
okay so we see the numbers

46
00:01:36,766 --> 00:01:39,133
but like why what's actually causing this dip

47
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:39,500
Crypto

48
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,500
Daily mentions a couple things that might be spooking

49
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:43,000
investors well one

50
00:01:43,266 --> 00:01:46,400
there's news of a massive ether hack on the BI bit

51
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,033
exchange we're talking like

52
00:01:48,033 --> 00:01:50,466
a potential 1.5 billion dollar stolen

53
00:01:50,466 --> 00:01:51,866
wow that kind of news

54
00:01:51,866 --> 00:01:54,200
always sends chills down the spines of investors

55
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,500
I bet makes sense

56
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:56,566
a hack that big

57
00:01:56,566 --> 00:01:59,066
it would make anyone nervous about security

58
00:01:59,366 --> 00:02:01,300
but this isn't happening in isolation right

59
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:02,466
there are other factors too

60
00:02:02,466 --> 00:02:05,633
you got it the crypto market doesn't exist in a vacuum

61
00:02:05,633 --> 00:02:06,000
you know

62
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,700
we're seeing wider sell offs across all markets

63
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:10,900
yeah driven by global uncertainty

64
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:11,766
it seems like yeah

65
00:02:11,766 --> 00:02:12,900
political tensions

66
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:15,400
economic worries the whole shebang

67
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,233
it all just creates this perfect storm

68
00:02:17,233 --> 00:02:19,433
that pushes everything downwards right

69
00:02:19,433 --> 00:02:22,466
crypto included so we've got some turbulence for sure

70
00:02:22,466 --> 00:02:23,800
but here's where things get interesting

71
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,366
the 2017 parallels remember that year

72
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,100
bitcoin shot up then crashed

73
00:02:28,233 --> 00:02:29,766
taking all coins down with it

74
00:02:29,766 --> 00:02:30,033
oh yeah

75
00:02:30,033 --> 00:02:30,700
some analysts are saying

76
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:32,466
we're seeing a repeat of those patterns right now

77
00:02:32,466 --> 00:02:33,833
and there's evidence to back that up

78
00:02:33,833 --> 00:02:37,000
take a look at this chart analysis from image dot PDF

79
00:02:37,233 --> 00:02:39,233
what's striking is the pattern of multiple

80
00:02:39,233 --> 00:02:41,300
28% or greater pullbacks

81
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:42,933
followed by rallies to new highs

82
00:02:43,033 --> 00:02:44,966
just like we saw in 2017 okay

83
00:02:44,966 --> 00:02:46,333
I'm looking at the chart now

84
00:02:46,366 --> 00:02:47,266
what are you seeing

85
00:02:47,266 --> 00:02:49,466
that's setting off alarm bells for people

86
00:02:49,466 --> 00:02:51,033
what's the key takeaway here

87
00:02:51,033 --> 00:02:52,100
well first

88
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:54,200
those pullbacks are significant

89
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,000
we're not talking about tiny dips here

90
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,900
these are serious drops

91
00:02:58,066 --> 00:03:00,700
that would shake out even the most seasoned investor

92
00:03:01,033 --> 00:03:03,033
and the fact that we're seeing them at similar

93
00:03:03,033 --> 00:03:05,133
points in the cycle to 2017

94
00:03:05,633 --> 00:03:08,433
makes people wonder if history is repeating itself

95
00:03:08,433 --> 00:03:11,400
but back then alt coins crashed even harder right

96
00:03:11,433 --> 00:03:13,966
Crypto Daily mentions drops of up to 65%

97
00:03:13,966 --> 00:03:15,300
before they bounce back

98
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,800
we haven't seen that kind of carnage this time around

99
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,433
true but keep in mind

100
00:03:19,433 --> 00:03:21,566
Crypto Daily's Money is freedom podcast

101
00:03:21,566 --> 00:03:23,166
also raised a red flag

102
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:25,100
about the current meme coin craze

103
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:26,266
oh right

104
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:27,166
remember that episode

105
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:29,566
are we at the peak of the meme coin craze

106
00:03:29,833 --> 00:03:31,866
they pointed out Solana's underperformance

107
00:03:31,866 --> 00:03:34,833
compared to Bitcoin as a potential warning sign

108
00:03:34,833 --> 00:03:36,466
the things might be getting a little frothy

109
00:03:36,466 --> 00:03:38,933
that's right they argued that the meme coin craze

110
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,600
especially on platforms like pump dot fun

111
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,100
might be nearing its end

112
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:45,566
so maybe the altcoin crash hasn't happened yet

113
00:03:45,566 --> 00:03:47,133
but it could be on the horizon

114
00:03:47,166 --> 00:03:48,066
exactly

115
00:03:48,066 --> 00:03:50,266
and that's where understanding market indicators

116
00:03:50,266 --> 00:03:53,466
becomes really crucial Crypto Daily emphasizes

117
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:56,566
looking at things like ISM trends

118
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,100
liquidity cycles and inflation

119
00:03:59,433 --> 00:04:01,400
these are the forces that could shape

120
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,266
what happens next in crypto

121
00:04:03,266 --> 00:04:05,400
okay so you've thrown out some uh

122
00:04:05,566 --> 00:04:08,233
big potentially confusing terms

123
00:04:08,233 --> 00:04:09,400
break those down for me

124
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,766
what are these indicators and how can they help

125
00:04:11,766 --> 00:04:14,866
someone like me understand the crypto market sure

126
00:04:14,866 --> 00:04:16,033
let's start with the ISM

127
00:04:16,033 --> 00:04:18,900
that stands for the Institute for Supply Management

128
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:21,033
and they track data on the manufacturing sector

129
00:04:21,033 --> 00:04:22,133
mostly in the US

130
00:04:22,566 --> 00:04:24,500
think of it like a health check for the economy

131
00:04:24,666 --> 00:04:27,566
a strong ISM usually means a healthy economy

132
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,100
which is good news for riskier assets like crypto

133
00:04:30,233 --> 00:04:32,066
but if the ISM starts to weaken

134
00:04:32,066 --> 00:04:33,600
it could signal a slowdown

135
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,233
and investors might pull back from crypto

136
00:04:35,233 --> 00:04:36,866
so it's like a canary in the coal mine

137
00:04:36,866 --> 00:04:38,100
for the wider economy yeah

138
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:39,800
the canary starts to keel over

139
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,600
it might be time to get out of the crypto market

140
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,600
that's one way to look at it

141
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,866
now liquidity cycles

142
00:04:43,866 --> 00:04:46,433
refer to how easily you can buy or sell an asset

143
00:04:46,433 --> 00:04:48,866
high liquidity means there's a lot of money flowing

144
00:04:48,866 --> 00:04:51,466
around which can push prices up

145
00:04:51,466 --> 00:04:54,500
when liquidity dries up prices tend to drop

146
00:04:54,766 --> 00:04:56,366
understanding these cycles

147
00:04:56,366 --> 00:04:58,366
can help anticipate those shifts

148
00:04:58,366 --> 00:04:59,233
that makes sense so

149
00:04:59,233 --> 00:05:00,266
more money flowing around

150
00:05:00,266 --> 00:05:02,166
means more people buying crypto

151
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:03,700
driving prices up

152
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:07,300
less money means fewer buyers and prices might fall

153
00:05:07,566 --> 00:05:09,100
what about inflation

154
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:10,566
everyone's talking about that these days

155
00:05:10,566 --> 00:05:12,166
how does it play into all this

156
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,633
well some believe bitcoin

157
00:05:13,633 --> 00:05:15,033
with its limited supply

158
00:05:15,033 --> 00:05:17,100
can act as a hedge against inflation

159
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:19,100
if your dollars are losing value

160
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:21,300
bitcoin might hold its value better

161
00:05:21,633 --> 00:05:23,300
but there's another side to the coin

162
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:24,400
rising inflation

163
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,700
could also lead to tighter monetary policy

164
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:28,166
from governments and that

165
00:05:28,166 --> 00:05:30,300
could hurt risk assets like crypto

166
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:31,633
it's a complex relationship

167
00:05:31,633 --> 00:05:32,366
so with inflation

168
00:05:32,366 --> 00:05:34,066
it's like a double edged sword for crypto

169
00:05:34,066 --> 00:05:34,800
on the one hand

170
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,166
it might drive people towards bitcoin as a safe haven

171
00:05:37,166 --> 00:05:39,666
on the other hand it could trigger government actions

172
00:05:39,666 --> 00:05:41,400
that hurt the entire market

173
00:05:41,666 --> 00:05:43,233
tricky stuff exactly

174
00:05:43,233 --> 00:05:44,600
it's a complex dynamic

175
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,033
that we need to keep watching closely

176
00:05:46,033 --> 00:05:48,166
yeah but let's shift gears for a moment

177
00:05:48,166 --> 00:05:51,500
and talk about another big player in this crypto drama

178
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:54,466
institutional investors ah yes

179
00:05:54,466 --> 00:05:58,833
the big money Cryptoday highlighted how major players

180
00:05:58,833 --> 00:06:00,500
like Citadel and Blackrock

181
00:06:00,633 --> 00:06:02,133
are now involved in crypto

182
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:04,733
that's a huge change from 2017

183
00:06:04,833 --> 00:06:05,600
when institutions

184
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,233
were just starting to dip their toes in

185
00:06:07,233 --> 00:06:09,233
it's a completely different landscape now

186
00:06:09,233 --> 00:06:11,500
institutions are diving head first into crypto

187
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:13,400
and that's changing the game

188
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,366
what's driving this institutional FOMO

189
00:06:15,366 --> 00:06:17,433
why are they so interested in crypto all of a sudden

190
00:06:17,433 --> 00:06:18,800
well there are a few reasons

191
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,833
first the crypto market has grown up a lot since 2017

192
00:06:21,833 --> 00:06:22,966
it's more regulated

193
00:06:22,966 --> 00:06:26,366
more liquid and easier for institutions to navigate

194
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,100
second

195
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:29,900
the potential returns in crypto are too big to ignore

196
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,633
and third

197
00:06:30,633 --> 00:06:33,366
there's a growing sense that crypto is here to stay

198
00:06:33,366 --> 00:06:36,833
it's not just a fad it's a transformative technology

199
00:06:36,833 --> 00:06:39,466
so does this influx of institutional money

200
00:06:39,466 --> 00:06:41,400
mean the crypto market is becoming more stable

201
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,666
less like the Wild West and more like Wall Street

202
00:06:44,666 --> 00:06:45,933
it's certainly possible

203
00:06:46,066 --> 00:06:48,066
institutional money can bring more stability

204
00:06:48,066 --> 00:06:49,566
and liquidity to the market

205
00:06:49,566 --> 00:06:51,866
but it's not a guaranteed smooth ride

206
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,666
remember institutions can make big moves

207
00:06:54,666 --> 00:06:57,166
and those moves can create volatility too

208
00:06:57,166 --> 00:06:58,000
that's a good point

209
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,866
just because the big players are here

210
00:06:59,866 --> 00:07:02,900
doesn't mean we can all relax and expect steady growth

211
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000
but hey one thing that hasn't changed much since 2017

212
00:07:07,366 --> 00:07:09,266
is the appeal of those alt coins

213
00:07:09,633 --> 00:07:12,166
people are still chasing those moonshot games

214
00:07:12,166 --> 00:07:13,000
absolutely

215
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,600
the alt coin market is still a hot bed of speculation

216
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,566
and innovation

217
00:07:16,566 --> 00:07:19,400
and with the rise of things like Defi and NFTS

218
00:07:19,433 --> 00:07:21,400
there's a whole universe of new opportunities

219
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,600
popping up all the time

220
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,200
it's mind boggling how fast things change in crypto

221
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,233
but with all this talk of old coins

222
00:07:27,233 --> 00:07:28,266
and potential bubbles

223
00:07:28,266 --> 00:07:30,033
are we headed for another old season

224
00:07:30,033 --> 00:07:32,000
should I be getting ready to ride that wave

225
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,400
that's the million dollar question

226
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,666
isn't it some analysts think we are

227
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:36,466
pointing to things

228
00:07:36,466 --> 00:07:38,866
like the growing institutional interest

229
00:07:39,166 --> 00:07:40,800
the defi explosion

230
00:07:41,033 --> 00:07:43,633
and the emergence of new blockchain platforms

231
00:07:43,633 --> 00:07:46,666
but Crypto Daily's Money is freedom podcast

232
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:49,266
also warned us about the potential dangers

233
00:07:49,266 --> 00:07:51,000
of the meme coin craze

234
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:53,600
not all alt coins are created equal

235
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,533
and some could face big corrections

236
00:07:55,566 --> 00:07:57,600
right just because something is an alt coin

237
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,500
doesn't mean it's a guaranteed winner

238
00:07:59,566 --> 00:08:03,133
some of them have real uses and solid tech behind them

239
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,233
but others are just riding the hype wave

240
00:08:05,233 --> 00:08:07,033
buyer beware right exactly

241
00:08:07,033 --> 00:08:08,800
it's crucial to do your research

242
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,000
and understand what you're investing in before diving

243
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,866
head first into the altcoin market

244
00:08:12,866 --> 00:08:14,400
but there's one more piece of the puzzle

245
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,500
we need to consider regulation

246
00:08:16,666 --> 00:08:17,666
ah yes

247
00:08:17,666 --> 00:08:20,500
regulation the big unknown in the crypto world

248
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:23,633
how is the evolving regulatory landscape shaping things

249
00:08:23,633 --> 00:08:24,700
that's a crucial question

250
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:26,166
and one we'll delve into more

251
00:08:26,166 --> 00:08:27,800
in Part 3 of our deep dive

252
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,300
governments around the world

253
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:31,933
are still figuring out how to handle cryptocurrencies

254
00:08:32,166 --> 00:08:32,800
and their decisions

255
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,700
could have a massive impact on the industry

256
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:36,833
it feels like a wild west out there

257
00:08:36,833 --> 00:08:37,566
with regulators

258
00:08:37,566 --> 00:08:40,000
trying to catch up to this fast moving technology

259
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,966
so what can our listeners expect in Part 3

260
00:08:41,966 --> 00:08:43,700
what are their insights are we gonna uncover

261
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:46,000
we'll dive deep into the world of regulations

262
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,300
and explore how they might shape the future of crypto

263
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:51,000
sounds good to me see you there

264
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,666
see ya welcome back to our crypto deep dive

265
00:08:53,666 --> 00:08:55,966
last time we were wrestling with this big question

266
00:08:55,966 --> 00:09:01,466
are we reliving 2,017 and the more we look at the data

267
00:09:01,466 --> 00:09:03,233
the more those parallels pop up

268
00:09:03,233 --> 00:09:06,333
it's like holding a mirror up to the market for sure

269
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,966
remember that chart analysis from image PDF

270
00:09:08,966 --> 00:09:11,100
yeah those steep drops in Bitcoin

271
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:12,700
followed by even stronger comebacks

272
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:14,433
that was a hallmark of 2017

273
00:09:14,433 --> 00:09:17,500
yeah those red lines marking the 28% plus pullbacks

274
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:19,066
yeah are giving me flashbacks

275
00:09:19,066 --> 00:09:23,466
yeah but if we're really following the 2017 playbook

276
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,200
shouldn't alt coins be taking an even bigger hit

277
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,100
we haven't seen those 65% drops that Crypto Daily

278
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:30,433
talked about that's a good point

279
00:09:30,433 --> 00:09:32,800
we haven't seen a full blown alt coin crash yet

280
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,266
but remember

281
00:09:33,266 --> 00:09:36,600
Crypto Daily also warned about the meme coin frenzy

282
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,200
potentially reaching its peak

283
00:09:38,266 --> 00:09:39,633
they even highlighted Solana

284
00:09:39,633 --> 00:09:42,466
lagging behind Bitcoin as a potential warning sign

285
00:09:42,466 --> 00:09:44,500
yeah their podcast money is freedom

286
00:09:44,766 --> 00:09:47,066
they were pretty clear that the meme coin craze

287
00:09:47,466 --> 00:09:50,366
especially on platforms like Pump Dot Fun

288
00:09:50,766 --> 00:09:51,866
might be unsustainable

289
00:09:51,866 --> 00:09:54,933
so maybe the altcoin reckoning is still out there

290
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,366
lurking in the shadows it's definitely a possibility

291
00:09:57,366 --> 00:09:59,033
and this is why it's crucial to understand

292
00:09:59,033 --> 00:10:01,200
those market indicators we talked about earlier

293
00:10:01,366 --> 00:10:01,800
remember

294
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,800
Crypto Daily really emphasized looking at ISM trends

295
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,966
liquidity cycles and inflation

296
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,033
these forces could determine what happens

297
00:10:10,033 --> 00:10:12,066
next in the crypto world okay

298
00:10:12,066 --> 00:10:14,166
so let's say I'm keeping an eye on those indicators

299
00:10:14,166 --> 00:10:15,400
what am I looking for

300
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,600
what are they telling us right now

301
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,966
well let's take the ISM manufacturing index

302
00:10:19,133 --> 00:10:20,900
this gives us a peek into how well U

303
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:22,500
s manufacturing is doing

304
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:26,200
a strong ISM reading often suggests a healthy economy

305
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,066
which could be good news for crypto

306
00:10:28,166 --> 00:10:31,900
but if the ISM weakens it could signal trouble ahead

307
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:33,100
so it's like a warning system

308
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:35,166
if the ISM starts flashing red

309
00:10:35,233 --> 00:10:37,300
it might be time to rethink my crypto strategy

310
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:42,466
exactly now liquidity cycles are a bit more nuanced

311
00:10:42,466 --> 00:10:45,466
liquidity is all about how easily you can buy or sell

312
00:10:45,466 --> 00:10:46,333
an asset

313
00:10:46,433 --> 00:10:49,066
high liquidity means there's lots of money flowing

314
00:10:49,166 --> 00:10:51,466
driving prices up but when liquidity

315
00:10:51,466 --> 00:10:53,766
dries up things can get dicey

316
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:55,033
understanding these cycles

317
00:10:55,033 --> 00:10:57,666
can help you anticipate potential market swings

318
00:10:57,666 --> 00:10:59,566
okay so it's like the tides of the market

319
00:10:59,966 --> 00:11:01,366
sometimes the tide is high

320
00:11:01,366 --> 00:11:03,600
bringing in more money and pushing up prices

321
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:04,100
sometimes

322
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:07,500
the tide goes out and things get a bit more volatile

323
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:08,566
makes sense now

324
00:11:08,566 --> 00:11:09,766
what about inflation

325
00:11:09,766 --> 00:11:12,166
how does that play into the crypto equation

326
00:11:12,166 --> 00:11:13,900
it feels like everyone's worried about inflation

327
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:16,700
these days it's definitely a big factor

328
00:11:16,833 --> 00:11:18,433
some people believe bitcoin

329
00:11:18,433 --> 00:11:19,833
with its limited supply

330
00:11:19,833 --> 00:11:21,933
can act as a hedge against inflation

331
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:24,033
as the value of your dollars goes down

332
00:11:24,033 --> 00:11:26,300
bitcoin might hold its value better

333
00:11:26,433 --> 00:11:27,266
but others argue

334
00:11:27,266 --> 00:11:28,466
that rising inflation

335
00:11:28,466 --> 00:11:30,900
could lead to tighter monetary policies

336
00:11:31,166 --> 00:11:31,966
from governments

337
00:11:31,966 --> 00:11:34,000
and that could actually harm risk assets

338
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,900
like cryptocurrencies so with inflation

339
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:37,933
it's like a double edged sword for crypto

340
00:11:38,433 --> 00:11:39,066
on the one hand

341
00:11:39,066 --> 00:11:41,566
it might drive people towards Bitcoin as a safe haven

342
00:11:41,766 --> 00:11:44,033
on the other hand it could trigger government actions

343
00:11:44,033 --> 00:11:45,600
that hurt the entire market

344
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,566
tricky stuff exactly

345
00:11:47,566 --> 00:11:49,800
it's a complex dynamic that we need to keep watching

346
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,933
closely but yes

347
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:53,266
let's shift gears for a moment

348
00:11:53,266 --> 00:11:56,100
and talk about another big player in this crypto drama

349
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,100
institutional investors ah yes

350
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,433
the big money cryptodaily highlighted how major players

351
00:12:03,433 --> 00:12:05,066
like Citadel and Blackrock

352
00:12:05,066 --> 00:12:06,666
are now involved in crypto

353
00:12:06,833 --> 00:12:09,166
this is a huge change from 2017

354
00:12:09,166 --> 00:12:09,433
when

355
00:12:09,433 --> 00:12:11,433
institutions were just starting to dip their toes in

356
00:12:11,433 --> 00:12:13,466
it's a completely different landscape now

357
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:15,400
institutions are diving headfirst into

358
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,466
crypto and that's changing the game

359
00:12:17,466 --> 00:12:19,300
what's driving this institutional FOMO

360
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:21,366
why are they so interested in crypto all of a sudden

361
00:12:21,366 --> 00:12:22,566
well there are a few reasons

362
00:12:22,566 --> 00:12:25,433
first the crypto market has grown up a lot since 2017

363
00:12:25,433 --> 00:12:26,300
it's more regulated

364
00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:29,366
more liquid and easier for institutions to navigate

365
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:29,966
second

366
00:12:29,966 --> 00:12:32,533
the potential returns in crypto are too big to ignore

367
00:12:32,566 --> 00:12:33,533
and third

368
00:12:33,633 --> 00:12:36,300
there's a growing sense that crypto is here to stay

369
00:12:36,466 --> 00:12:39,400
it's not just a fad it's a transformative technology

370
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,733
so does this influx of institutional money

371
00:12:41,833 --> 00:12:44,033
mean the crypto market is becoming more stable

372
00:12:44,033 --> 00:12:46,700
less like the Wild West and more like what Wall Street

373
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:48,000
it's certainly possible

374
00:12:48,233 --> 00:12:50,366
institutional money can bring more stability

375
00:12:50,366 --> 00:12:51,800
and liquidity to the market

376
00:12:52,066 --> 00:12:54,366
but it's not a guaranteed smooth ride

377
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,866
remember institutions can make big moves

378
00:12:56,866 --> 00:12:59,366
and those moves can create volatility too

379
00:12:59,366 --> 00:13:00,366
that's a good point

380
00:13:00,366 --> 00:13:02,466
just because the big players are here

381
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,466
doesn't mean we can all relax and expect steady growth

382
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:06,700
but hey yeah

383
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:09,200
one thing that hasn't changed much since 2017

384
00:13:09,233 --> 00:13:11,000
is the appeal of those old coins

385
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:13,200
people are still chasing those moonshot gains

386
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,166
yeah absolutely

387
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,033
the altcoin market is still a hot bed of speculation

388
00:13:17,033 --> 00:13:17,966
and innovation

389
00:13:17,966 --> 00:13:20,533
and with the rise of things like Defi and NFTs

390
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,766
there's a whole universe of new opportunities

391
00:13:22,766 --> 00:13:24,133
popping up all the time

392
00:13:24,266 --> 00:13:27,133
it's mind boggling how fast things change in crypto

393
00:13:27,366 --> 00:13:28,800
but with all this talk of alt coins

394
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:29,900
and potential bubbles

395
00:13:30,033 --> 00:13:31,566
are we headed for another alt season

396
00:13:31,566 --> 00:13:33,466
should I be getting ready to ride that wave

397
00:13:33,466 --> 00:13:34,866
that's the million dollar question

398
00:13:34,866 --> 00:13:36,766
isn't it some analysts think we are

399
00:13:37,033 --> 00:13:37,966
pointing to things like

400
00:13:37,966 --> 00:13:39,933
the growing institutional interest

401
00:13:40,066 --> 00:13:41,600
the defi explosion

402
00:13:41,766 --> 00:13:44,366
and the emergence of new blockchain platforms

403
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,300
but Crypto Daily's Money is freedom podcast

404
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:48,533
also warned us

405
00:13:48,566 --> 00:13:51,600
about the potential dangers of the meme coin craze

406
00:13:51,866 --> 00:13:53,866
not all altcoins are created equal

407
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:56,100
and some could face big corrections

408
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:57,800
right just because something is an altcoin

409
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,433
doesn't mean it's a guaranteed winner

410
00:13:59,433 --> 00:14:02,466
some of them have real uses and solid tech behind them

411
00:14:02,466 --> 00:14:04,400
but others are just riding the hype wave

412
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,533
buyer beware exactly

413
00:14:06,733 --> 00:14:08,200
it's crucial to do your research

414
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,966
and understand what you're investing in

415
00:14:09,966 --> 00:14:12,500
before diving head first into the altcoin market

416
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:14,300
but there's one more piece of the puzzle

417
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:16,600
we need to consider regulation

418
00:14:16,833 --> 00:14:18,200
ah yes

419
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,800
regulation the big unknown in the crypto world

420
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:25,100
how is the evolving regulatory landscape shaping things

421
00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:26,366
that's a crucial question

422
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:27,866
and one we'll delve into more

423
00:14:27,866 --> 00:14:29,566
in Part 3 of our deep dive

424
00:14:29,666 --> 00:14:30,800
governments around the world

425
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,233
are still figuring out how to handle cryptocurrencies

426
00:14:33,233 --> 00:14:34,000
and their decisions

427
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
could have a massive impact on the industry

428
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,366
it feels like a Wild west out there

429
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:39,400
with regulators

430
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,266
trying to catch up to this fast moving technology

431
00:14:42,266 --> 00:14:44,400
so what can our listeners expect in Part 3

432
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,500
what other insights are we going to uncover

433
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:48,633
and

434
00:14:48,633 --> 00:14:51,500
we're back for the final part of our Crypto Deep Dive

435
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:53,233
part 3 the grand finale we've

436
00:14:53,233 --> 00:14:56,566
talked market swings the echoes of 2017

437
00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:58,733
the rival of big institutions

438
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:01,300
but now we got to tackle the big elephant in the room

439
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:02,200
regulation yeah

440
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,833
it's the big one isn't it right

441
00:15:03,833 --> 00:15:05,600
it feels like this huge question Mark

442
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,866
hanging over the whole crypto world

443
00:15:06,866 --> 00:15:09,000
like how are governments gonna regulate this

444
00:15:09,066 --> 00:15:12,066
this new decentralized technology that frankly

445
00:15:12,066 --> 00:15:14,466
seems to want to exist outside the normal rules

446
00:15:14,466 --> 00:15:16,066
it's that core tension isn't it

447
00:15:16,066 --> 00:15:16,300
you know

448
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:19,366
crypto was designed to be free from government control

449
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:21,500
but as it becomes more mainstream

450
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:22,766
governments are stepping in

451
00:15:22,766 --> 00:15:24,266
they want to protect investors

452
00:15:24,266 --> 00:15:25,933
prevent illegal activities

453
00:15:26,233 --> 00:15:27,966
and let's be honest

454
00:15:27,966 --> 00:15:30,100
figure out how they can get a piece of the action right

455
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:32,766
it's that classic struggle between freedom and control

456
00:15:32,766 --> 00:15:34,100
playing out right in front of us

457
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,066
crypto daily money is freedom

458
00:15:36,066 --> 00:15:37,666
doesn't go into specific regulations

459
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:39,633
but you can sense that tension

460
00:15:39,633 --> 00:15:41,366
running through all their analysis

461
00:15:41,533 --> 00:15:42,500
oh absolutely

462
00:15:42,766 --> 00:15:44,766
think about those episodes on meme coins

463
00:15:44,766 --> 00:15:45,966
and fiscal dominance

464
00:15:46,266 --> 00:15:48,433
they both touch on areas where regulation

465
00:15:48,433 --> 00:15:49,766
could have a huge impact

466
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,633
will governments try to crack down on meme coin

467
00:15:52,633 --> 00:15:53,566
speculation

468
00:15:53,833 --> 00:15:56,333
how will they manage their own debt and spending

469
00:15:56,366 --> 00:15:59,000
in a world where crypto is becoming increasingly

470
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,566
important it feels like a lot of unknowns

471
00:16:00,566 --> 00:16:02,966
yeah those are some big complex questions

472
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,600
but you know

473
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,200
maybe regulation isn't necessarily a bad thing

474
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:08,433
what if we had clear consistent rules

475
00:16:08,433 --> 00:16:10,366
wouldn't that actually make the crypto market

476
00:16:10,366 --> 00:16:12,266
more attractive to investors and

477
00:16:12,266 --> 00:16:13,200
businesses first

478
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,600
it seems like uncertainty breeds volatility

479
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:17,366
I agree right now

480
00:16:17,366 --> 00:16:18,933
the lack of clear guidelines

481
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,333
creates fear and hesitation

482
00:16:21,433 --> 00:16:23,800
a well defined regulatory framework

483
00:16:24,033 --> 00:16:26,100
could help legitimize the crypto space

484
00:16:26,366 --> 00:16:28,700
and attract even more institutional investment

485
00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:30,166
but here's the flip side

486
00:16:30,166 --> 00:16:32,733
if governments get too heavy handed with regulations

487
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:34,566
won't that stifle innovation

488
00:16:34,566 --> 00:16:36,300
and undermine the whole point of crypto

489
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:38,100
true it's a tough balancing act

490
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:41,366
it is that's why it's so important to stay informed

491
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:44,066
about what's happening on the regulatory front

492
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:46,566
keep an eye on key regions like the U

493
00:16:46,566 --> 00:16:48,400
S the EU and Asia

494
00:16:48,666 --> 00:16:50,733
their decisions will have ripple effects

495
00:16:50,833 --> 00:16:52,800
throughout the entire crypto market

496
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,100
so it's not just about watching the price of Bitcoin

497
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:57,433
we got to keep up with the regulatory landscape too

498
00:16:57,433 --> 00:16:58,466
it's a lot to keep track of

499
00:16:58,466 --> 00:17:02,100
it is but that's what makes the crypto world so dynamic

500
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:04,033
and fascinating it's constantly evolving

501
00:17:04,033 --> 00:17:06,566
there's always something new to learn and understand

502
00:17:06,566 --> 00:17:08,233
and speaking of learning and understanding

503
00:17:08,233 --> 00:17:09,766
let's revisit that final

504
00:17:09,766 --> 00:17:12,000
thought provoking question from Crypto Daily

505
00:17:12,233 --> 00:17:14,733
how might government spending and debt

506
00:17:14,766 --> 00:17:16,900
influence the crypto market

507
00:17:17,033 --> 00:17:19,000
especially with the threat of inflation

508
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,466
looming over everything

509
00:17:20,466 --> 00:17:22,300
that's where things get really interesting

510
00:17:22,366 --> 00:17:23,266
remember that blog post

511
00:17:23,266 --> 00:17:26,333
they highlighted the new era of fiscal dominance

512
00:17:26,466 --> 00:17:29,333
it argues that as government debt keeps rising

513
00:17:29,433 --> 00:17:31,700
and central banks keep printing money

514
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:34,466
we could be in for a serious inflation surge

515
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:35,866
and if that happens

516
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,966
wouldn't it make sense for investors to flock to

517
00:17:38,966 --> 00:17:40,333
assets like bitcoin

518
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,733
which is seen as a hedge against inflation

519
00:17:43,266 --> 00:17:44,833
but then wouldn't governments try to intervene

520
00:17:44,833 --> 00:17:46,500
even more in the crypto market

521
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:49,233
to maintain control over their monetary policy

522
00:17:49,233 --> 00:17:49,900
exactly

523
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:53,000
it's this complex dance between traditional finance

524
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:54,400
government policies

525
00:17:54,466 --> 00:17:56,866
and the decentralized world of crypto

526
00:17:56,866 --> 00:17:58,533
it's like a high stakes poker game

527
00:17:58,966 --> 00:18:01,100
where the players keep changing the rules

528
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,466
and the stakes keep getting higher

529
00:18:02,466 --> 00:18:05,000
so what's the takeaway for our listeners

530
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,100
who are trying to navigate this wild crypto world

531
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:09,666
what advice would you give them

532
00:18:09,666 --> 00:18:12,266
I'd say stay curious stay informed

533
00:18:12,266 --> 00:18:14,033
and don't be afraid of the uncertainty

534
00:18:14,033 --> 00:18:16,066
the crypto world is full of potential

535
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:17,666
both positive and negative

536
00:18:17,666 --> 00:18:19,000
it's a journey of discovery

537
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,466
well said and on that note

538
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,366
we've reached the end of our deep dive

539
00:18:23,366 --> 00:18:25,500
into the crypto market we've covered a lot of ground

540
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:27,866
but we've only scratched the surface of this complex

541
00:18:27,866 --> 00:18:29,166
and fascinating landscape

542
00:18:29,166 --> 00:18:31,766
absolutely we encourage you to continue exploring

543
00:18:31,833 --> 00:18:34,333
to dig deeper into the resources we've discussed

544
00:18:34,566 --> 00:18:37,800
and to stay engaged with this ever evolving world

545
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,600
it's an exciting space to be in

546
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,133
because the crypto adventure is just beginning

547
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:44,133
until next time happy exploring
