coming to you live today from
[18]
boston bean down that's gotta be the
[20]
worst attempt at a boston accent
[23]
ever but uh on a little trip right now
[25]
i'm gonna go to the red talks game of
[26]
three now look i'm not a red sox fan of
[28]
course uh so you may be wondering why
[30]
i'm wearing this hat the hotel gave it
[32]
to us it was sitting here they had a
[34]
bunch of gifts for us uh we came to the
[36]
hotel here we're staying um well i'm not
[38]
gonna say where i'm staying but it's a
[39]
really nice hotel uh we've had a good
[42]
time so far now listen
[44]
in this video we usually by this time i
[47]
give you the news for the day but i
[49]
don't want to do that today do you want
[50]
to know why because there's no freaking
[52]
news for the day it's been so boring
[53]
bitcoin's sitting around 55 000 so
[55]
that's good that's a positive thing we
[58]
could see the momentum carry upwards
[60]
tomorrow now i want to address something
[62]
that you know i get asked every once in
[65]
a while i thought this would be a good
[66]
topic for this video for tonight which
[68]
is
[70]
what do you do with your crypto how do
[72]
you take profits
[74]
and is right now the time where you
[76]
should be trying to get out
[79]
so this is kind of complicated question
[81]
um because you know we tell you all the
[84]
time
[85]
anytime you can get profits
[87]
you need to take some profits but that
[89]
doesn't mean you pull 100 out of your
[91]
portfolio now what do we mean by taking
[93]
profits well either one of two things
[96]
either you are
[97]
taking money and or taking crypto and
[100]
you're trading it back in for cash
[102]
or you're trading it back in for usdc or
[105]
tether or a stable coin um now you can
[108]
also take profits on a coin right let's
[111]
say you take profits on bitcoin but you
[113]
want to roll those into ethereum so you
[115]
trade part of your bitcoin for ethereum
[117]
because you think it's getting ready to
[118]
explode or something like that so uh i
[121]
guess technically three ways so you're
[123]
going into cash you're going into stable
[125]
coins or you're moving from one coin to
[128]
another in order to take advantage of
[130]
price wings and that's really trading at
[132]
its heart
[133]
but
[134]
the question is a lot of people are
[136]
getting scared and here's why
[139]
it
[140]
it's not that people are scared that
[142]
bitcoin is not going to go up more
[143]
because a lot of people do feel like
[145]
it's going to go up more and people are
[146]
excited i'm excited i think we're going
[148]
up to 100 000
[149]
by the end of this year you guys know
[150]
that but people are getting scared
[152]
because we're getting back to numbers
[155]
that are in the ballpark of all-time
[157]
highs
[158]
and it feels good people are feeling
[160]
good about their portfolios they're
[162]
feeling good about money
[164]
and they miss that feeling because when
[166]
we had the crash in may there was a
[168]
dramatic price drop
[170]
as you know
[172]
and then all of a sudden our portfolios
[173]
dropped 50 60 70
[176]
and that was gut wrenching
[178]
so it it it's kind of like
[182]
um you know
[183]
you have this opportunity to get those
[185]
gains back the gains that you have like
[187]
maybe your portfolio is almost back to
[189]
an all-time high and people are nervous
[191]
because they feel like this may be their
[194]
last chance like
[195]
it's kind of like playing um you know
[197]
craps or something it's like you roll so
[199]
many good numbers in a row and you're
[201]
winning you're winning you're winning
[203]
it's like
[204]
at some point i'm gonna roll the wrong
[206]
number and i'm gonna lose and so it's
[209]
good to take money off the table as you
[211]
go instead of just trying to you know
[214]
double up on every spin because
[215]
eventually you're going to lose there's
[216]
no there's no doubt about it or letting
[217]
your money ride on red or black on a
[219]
roulette or something like that
[221]
with crypto it's a little bit different
[223]
because
[224]
we have some educated guesses we have
[226]
some
[227]
hypotheses out there um that kind of
[230]
tell us
[232]
what crypto should be doing at this time
[234]
now
[235]
we know we've talked about this on the
[236]
channel a lot uh there is this idea by
[239]
benjamin cowan that there is a linkedin
[241]
cycle and we're going to go until next
[243]
year uh people like jeb and carl i think
[246]
they believe we're going to go into next
[248]
year
[249]
in the bull run
[251]
i don't believe that i think it's going
[252]
to be quick i think we're going to go to
[253]
100 000 by the end of the year there's
[255]
some other people that agree with me as
[256]
well you've also got the bears out there
[259]
that believe that we are going to see
[261]
dramatic price drop we're not going to
[263]
get back to all-time highs so if you
[265]
look at those three options you say okay
[267]
two out of those three options sound
[268]
pretty good prices are going to go up
[270]
maybe i hold on to some maybe i'll take
[272]
some profits but the other one's really
[274]
bad if we are bearish if this is like
[276]
the last hurrah of a bull trap which if
[279]
you didn't know bull trap is when the
[281]
price looks like it's going to continue
[282]
upwards
[283]
only to set people up for a big fall
[286]
okay
[287]
if you think that's a possibility and
[289]
your portfolio is back to an all-time
[290]
high
[291]
then maybe you should take more profits
[293]
maybe you should take some more off the
[294]
table
[295]
but the other two options sound like we
[298]
no matter what we're going to be going
[299]
up
[300]
it's it's just how fast are we going to
[302]
get there if we are at a hundred
[304]
thousand dollars in the next two months
[306]
a big old finger a bit of a fat finger
[308]
putting on front of my camera there
[310]
but if we are at all-time highs and if
[313]
we're 100 000 by like the end of next
[315]
month or the beginning of december
[317]
then you need to consider pulling money
[319]
off the table a good amount of money off
[322]
the table and i don't really believe any
[324]
more in just huddling i think huddling
[326]
as a ladies is a lazy strategy i'm going
[328]
to talk about this a lot on the channel
[330]
over time it works but you're talking
[333]
about the difference between doubling
[334]
your money or tripling your money
[337]
or 20xing your money when you're when
[340]
you're just doing
[342]
two simple trades every four years where
[344]
you're trying to generally sell the top
[346]
trying to generally buy the bottom i
[348]
don't advocate huddling anymore i just
[350]
think it's lazy i think we have enough
[352]
crypto education out there um to where
[354]
if you watch this channel you understand
[355]
the four year cycles you have no excuse
[357]
to hold bitcoin all the way back down to
[359]
15 000 after we top out i just i just
[362]
don't think you have an excuse there or
[363]
maybe 20 or 30 000 whatever it's going
[365]
to be after we top out around 100k but
[368]
but i think it's really important
[370]
for you to at least have a strategy i
[373]
think too many people go into crypto
[376]
and they're just kind of like flying
[377]
around blind like you don't really know
[380]
exactly what you're doing
[382]
you're just like i'll feel it out when
[384]
we get there no no no no my friend you
[387]
need to have a plan whether it's to sell
[390]
in a couple months or whether it's to
[391]
sell at certain price points or take
[393]
profits along the way you need to have a
[395]
plan without a plan you're going to fail
[399]
because
[400]
there's never going to be a time that
[402]
feels like the right time to sell your
[405]
crypto so i want to give you guys that
[407]
message i'm not selling anything right
[408]
now i mean we've you know we bought a
[410]
lambo we did some stuff but you know we
[412]
we sold off less than five percent of
[414]
our portfolio over the last uh couple
[416]
months for different real estate
[417]
purchases and things like that um but 95
[419]
percent we've held on to and the other
[421]
ones were just for purchases uh so in
[423]
that way we have taken some profits just
[426]
a little bit along the way but you know
[428]
we're not planning to take full profits
[430]
uh the maximum somewhere between 60 and
[432]
80 percent of our crypto we've taken my
[434]
profits on you know hopefully by the end
[436]
of the year now look if we get in the
[438]
end of the year in bitcoin still saying
[439]
around 50 or 60 000 then that would be a
[441]
strong indicator that we are going to
[443]
see all-time highs next year and this is
[446]
going to carry on for a while to come
[448]
but i like i said i've been very adamant
[450]
i do not see that happening i think
[453]
we're following closer to the 2017 month
[456]
over month schedule september was down
[458]
october pumped november pumped december
[461]
saw an all-time high for bitcoin january
[463]
saw all-time highs for lots of other
[465]
coins so i think we are going to see
[466]
that all coin season go then
[469]
um but let me know what you guys think
[470]
drop down below i want to know what
[472]
profit strategies are you guys taking
[475]
and also let me know what should i do
[476]
while i'm here in boston all right guys
[478]
so you guys have a good night it's all
[479]
god be blessed
