Silver Just Moved 10% in One Day — That Shouldn't Happen.

I'm right here, cabron1984. This is Kamilah Stevenson here to talk a little bit more about wealth. And I want to know from you, put a 1 in the chat if you think silver is going to get to $100 next week. Put a 2 in the chat if you do not believe that it's going to get to $100. What's up, you guys? You know, I kind of hang out and I'm looking at the chats before I come on. Like this video right away if you're here. What's up, The Real Derek? Um, yeah, I was looking at some of the comments and, uh, I, I, you know, I want to start off by saying this. You know, I come on here and I, I want to give you what's happening in our financial system. There's a crisis happening. We're seeing it in the expression of so many different ways. Okay, um, or an expression of, of different outputs and outcomes. Okay, and all of these outcomes, all they're doing is they're showing us some things that's beneath the layers that I hope that we're paying attention to. I can't always come out here and just say, hey, you should buy this, hey, you should buy that. You have to develop your own convictions, but I'm going to lay out what's going on in our financial system so that you can kind of put the pieces of the puzzles together and you can make your own decisions. On the type of assets that you need to invest in that is good for where we are headed and where we are now, right? And I'm going to, um, I'm going to lay a foundation and let you know, because some people don't really understand why silver making a 10% move in a day is revealing something very interesting. When is the last time you've ever seen a commodity like silver move in that direction in such a short period of time. If you guys don't understand that we are in a breaking point, things are changing. Um, all I can do is continue to show you. I think if you take ownership of your own decisions and what you choose to buy based on the information that you're receiving, I, I think then you can develop education around it, you can develop more, uh, conviction around it. And you can have more patience with it and develop a game plan because you're not strategizing from an emotional place. You really are strategizing because of the information and the education that you're receiving, right? It's good to see you guys today. I've missed you guys on Wednesday. That was my baby boy's birthday, which is Christmas Eve. And so I have a Christmas Eve baby, and, um, we spent time together as a family. And I want to come on here and just kind of explain to you what is happening, right? You don't build muscle overnight. That's right. I want to explain to you why a 10% move in, in silver is, is showing some critical things in our financial system. And I hope you guys are following it. I know a lot of people don't know what's happening right now, um, and the reason why— I'm gonna tell you the reason why— because they wait for headlines to confirm things and show you things. When the— now the headlines have not talked about— still, when have you seen in the last several years the headlines saying buy silver, buy silver? You have not seen that. But I can guarantee you now, because now it's like it's in your face, I guarantee you they're gonna say some stuff. But they're still gonna probably say it from an old framework, from a traditional mindset. I guarantee you, right? Um, but by the time— but by the time they tell you one thing, it's time to shift, okay? Um, and yes, we are in a, in a huge transition right now, right? So the headlines are not going to catch up. I hope you have been buying. I saw, I think George said you've been buying it since— I've been buying it since it was, um, since it was like, uh, $25, $30. Um, I don't personally— unless again, you know, there's a lot of things, you know, the, the— and I'll talk a little bit about it, but the reverse carry trade I, you, I don't know what, which assets are going to be as impacted. I, I think most of them will be impacted. But outside of that, this is actually still not the work— a bad time to buy silver, I don't think. Um, because I think it can go higher. That's all I'm saying. And, uh, but you got to do what you got to do. I'm not buying it right now. As a matter of fact, there's some people who are trying to sell it right now, which is not a bad idea either. Um, I'm not because I think there's potential for it to go much higher. Um, but you know, there are some assets that could tank if this reverse carry trade unwinds. So, uh, but right now the, the only thing— I've already liquidated what I need to liquidate, um, and I've taken, I've taken some profits off of some of my assets. So now I'm just waiting on a better buyback in. All right, what's up, Kuwait in the house? What's up? Thank you so much. Um, yeah, his 16th birthday was Wednesday, so I didn't get a chance to get on here, but Um, this is great. Uh, commodities are a good hedge against inflation with little risk, always a solid play. Absolutely. And I believe in diversification, and I do have silver and gold. I have more silver than gold. Um, and I didn't know, I didn't know if this would pan out. I bought silver and gold. I've been buying silver and gold for a very long time. And, um, you know, when I was buying it, I was wondering which one would outperform the other, but something in me felt like silver would do better, um, in the long run. And that's only because of the need for silver in a lot of the things that are, you know, that— I mean, there's this, you know, you need silver to solar panels. There's a lot of people who need, or businesses who need silver. So, but I don't know, you know what I'm saying? I don't know the future or whatever. I just took my— I just, I just decided I was going to get one a little bit more than the other. I just decided to do silver. So, um, that decision is paying off. Like in a tremendous way. So I appreciate, um, that, uh, silver is increasing. But I do want to talk about the day— well, what we're— what it shows in our system, because this is a— this is an anomaly, guys. This isn't— this doesn't happen. The things that's happening in our financial system doesn't just happen, all right? So, um, these things don't happen in normal markets. And so I do want to uncover a little bit and just kind of reveal to you what that means and help you still understand why we are in the conversation that we're in with digital assets. Um, this is all playing out exactly how it's supposed to play out. What you saw, what you see right now with silver is not a, um, somebody just wanting to buy silver. It's not. If you think that's it, it's not. It is forced behavior. All right, um, something is broken and some, and, and someone was forced to act immediately regardless of price. JP Morgan is— is— we're gonna see what happens with them. Um, yeah, there's a lot happening, right? So let me explain this a little bit, okay? Um, first of all, a commodity like silver is owned mostly by large institutes, okay? And I am, um, I'm looking— looking— thanks so much. Um, yeah, I'm trying to kind of share what, what's going on so you can kind of understand. How are you buying? Well, see, I bought— I'm not buying— I bought mine a long time ago. A very long time ago. So I'm just, I'm just reaping the rewards of my investment at this point. I haven't been buying any, but I think I will buy some more. Um, I don't know if I want to buy right now. I have enough of it, you know what I mean? So, but there's, there's a lot of people buying, and there's a lot of people who will continue to buy just because. And you got to understand, even more than like retailer, this is not a retail move. Let me just say that. Let me, let me help you understand this. Um, this, because this is not a retail move, right? These are— silver is mostly owned by large institutions, so we're talking banks and hedge funds and, um, industrial buyers. Basically, they need, they need silver. They need silver to make their products, right? These are manufacturers, okay? So these are not, uh, people trying to flip silver tomorrow. They— what a lot of these institutions do is they use it inside contracts and agreements that's tied to financing and production and hedging risk. So, but here's where the problem shows up, and I want to really walk through this so you can understand, okay? Um, is it BM, uh, JM Bullion? Is it Stephanie, uh, I'm looking at this, uh, JM Bullion, a lot of people like them. And is it, I think, goldsilver.com? I've heard a few people mention that as well. Um, the iTrust Capital, they do sell silver and gold, but I don't know all of the nuances with the pricing and everything like that. And I'm talking about physical silver and gold, by the way, guys. Um, so those are a few places that were recommended. Okay, now, so here's where the problem shows up. Um, a lot of those institutions, they don't— out— they don't own silver right out, okay, or outright, however you want to use that word, right? They're, they're using borrowed, um, exposure right? So that means that their, their positions in silver only works as long as the price stays within a certain range. Okay, and somebody said, uh, okay, let's— so let me put this up here because there's a couple of— and if you guys have some, I'll put them up there, right? So Apex, yep, I heard Apex several times. Also, um, someone suggested the Miles Franklin for, uh, metals. So yeah, Um, so silver has to stay in a certain range for it to make sense. So when the price moves too fast in the wrong direction, something starts happening behind the scenes, right? And so of course the lender is gonna call and say, hey, your position is, is risky, right? It's, it's risky now because the price is moving and you need to either add more money or you need to close the position out, right? That's not a choice, it's a demand. Okay. So if the institution can't come up with extra money immediately, then the position is going to get closed. So, and then what happens is, of course, they're not looking at, okay, what's a good price? No, it's just— it— you just need to buy whatever silver is available right now, okay, to close that exposure. So, you know, different choices when you're in a, in a rut, okay? And that's— but that's how you also get that sudden jump. Okay, not because somebody wanted to buy it at that price. A lot of them don't want to buy that the price, but it comes a point where now you have to buy it. So then what happens is, um, that I don't think a lot of people are paying attention to is that this happened during a period where— think about also this— so there wasn't a lot of silver available to sell. And that's why I think there'll be these I potentially think there's going to be gaps up because you have to find sellers. Okay, so, um, yeah, I can even— I can eventually, uh, from scratch talk about, uh, exit strategy. I've done a little bit of that also, right? And, and a lot of these places are selling out fast, right? There's— and that's why I think there could be a gap up, you know, with the silk, with the price, because if there's no sellers there, they got to go to that next place where somebody's willing to sell it. For people who don't understand gap-ups, you know what I mean? You gotta— if you're set, if you're, if you're trying to purchase, you have to find someone willing to sell it. And if you have no sellers down here, the price has to gap up. I don't know, I don't want to call it revaluation, but it does have to gap up, right? So then basically, um, so then a lot of those forced buyers, uh, The— a lot of the forced buys is going to hit the market and there's not enough sellers sitting there. So it's just like, okay, okay, I'll sell it to you at this— at the old price. The only way the system can find sellers, of course, is by raising that price. And guess how quickly that has to happen? It's very fast. That very fast. It can just gap up, okay? It could go from $80,000 to $85,000. It could go from $85,000 to $90,000. It has to gap up. Okay, so, um, and a lot of people just don't understand that when they— okay, so let me just interrupt and say that I gotta say this too. This is why there's times where technical analysis, when we're talking about assets that are not meant to be traded, you have to look at these type of events, right? So there's times when technical analysis is going to matter for what you're dealing with, the situation that you're dealing with, but then it's other times where you have to be educated behind the scenes on what's actually going on. In, in these like macro environments. Because then they— somebody said eBay is a good place to, uh, sell. Because then, is XRP rising up next? We'll see. So let me, let me explain that part as well, right? All right, so we, we got a vertical move, and I'll, I'll tell you why something like XRP could come into place. Okay, so remember too also that silver is not just an investment, it is something that companies need to keep operating. All right., right? Remember, like the solar, um, I mentioned solar panels, uh, electronics, batteries, defense systems, all of those, right? If you're one of those companies and then, uh, and then silver suddenly becomes hard to get, you cannot sit around waiting for a better chart. This is, this is what I mean, like where some situations it's not about a chart. You, you can't be, oh, let me look at the chart and see what the next— no, no, no, no, no. You need this for your company to keep creating its resources, right? And if you don't get it, you're in a lot of trouble. So you have to secure supply so that your production don't stop. It's just that simple. Like, I'm sure you guys get that part, right? But now you have— so now you have financial institutions that's forced to buy, you got industrial buyers stepping in to lock supply, and then you got fewer sellers that are willing to, um, to basically part with metal. So yeah, silver is very important. And you know what, that's why I bought more of it, because that's the way I was thinking. Like, I know gold is a safe haven, and I've always looked at it like that, and I wanted gold, but I was like, but people really, really, really need silver. They like really need silver to make things, you know what I mean? So, um, but that's not to say, you know, I don't, I don't know what happened in the end, right? So this move is mattering, and it's not because it's— we— it's not like, okay, we know exactly what's gonna happen tomorrow, but what it is saying— and here's where I want you to understand this— something in the structure has just changed. The market did not decide that silver was more valuable. It didn't. The market just discovered it. There's— it's a discovery at this point, right? Now let's also, let's also unlayer this next, um, point, okay? We're gonna, we're gonna build this layer so you can understand what it is, so you can make an educated decision on your own. This kind of behavior does not happen in isolation. It's not, it's not an isolated event. When one part of the system starts acting this way, it usually shows up elsewhere in currencies and bonds and eventually in how people think about money in and of itself, right? So we gotta talk about that next because beyond silver, what does this mean for gold? What does this mean for the dollar? What does this mean for the system in and of itself? So we gotta zoom out because silver did not do this in isolation. At the same time that silver moved like that, you also have gold sitting at all-time highs, right? And the dollar is relatively strong, okay? Um, interest rates are still elevated. Let me backtrack because I did— I read comments, and thank you guys for sharing your comments because I do want to see where you are, how you think. If you disagree, I welcome that, right? And so, um, I did the last video that I talked about when gold hit all-time highs, just kind of layering this on, saying, hey, gold is hitting all-time highs. What does this mean? Now silver's, you know, going crazy. What does this mean? And I mentioned in the last video about the dollar being relatively strong, and someone was like, the dollar's not strong, it's being devalued, it's devaluing. And I, I had to respond and let them know, watch the video, because I said it was relatively strong. I actually made the case that it wasn't strong. But I have to say relatively strong because when I say the dollar is strong, I don't mean healthy or stable long term by any means. I mean relatively strong compared to other currencies that are in worse shape right now. So the dollar can be rising against other currencies and still be losing purchasing power at the same time. I'm not talking about purchasing power because it's losing purchasing power. What do I mean? What I mean is like it takes an arm and a leg to buy food now, right? So that's the difference between relative strength and absolute value, and people, um, can mix up those two. Okay, so I just want to say this: a currency can look strong on a chart while still quietly, you know, in a subtle way, um, is buying you less and less in the real world. As a matter of fact, people get confused about the economy and and, you know, the stock market, and they're like, but we, we can't— our dollar isn't going anywhere, and the economy— they're not the same. You talk— you're talking about two different worlds, okay? So, okay, so let's, let's go back to this isolation thing. So we got, uh, gold going up, the dollar relatively strong. Those things don't usually coexist. Normally a strong dollar means weaker metals. So metals should technically be weaker, and higher rates will equal, uh, that money prefers yield, not metals. So, but that relationship is broken now, guys. It's broken. And we could see oil do the same thing, right? Um, I agree, looking for a good— I'm looking too, every day, George. See, people are not catching this. Commodities. I'm looking for the break of oil also, okay? And that's going to cause even more damage in what's happening, right? So there's a relationship that usually is normal together, like this equals that, this equals that, and it's becoming broken. It's shattered with a hammer. So, and then when long-standing relationships break, you got to understand this. I'm trying to help you guys to see the bigger picture. Just, just keep with me because I'm telling you is going to make sense. When these relationships of this should equal that and that should— when that stuff gets broken, it's not a random break, it's a structural break. So now we got to look at structure, like what is really going on? Well, here's what's happening. The system is carrying more debt than it can comfortably service at these rates. Governments, banks, large institutions, they don't care about growth anymore. Why? Because growth is not growth enough to get rid of the debt, you know what I'm saying? So they're not looking for growth, they're looking for survivability. How do we survive this? Can we refinance? Can we roll this forward? Can we settle obligation without something snapping in half, you know what I'm saying? That's why gold is being accumulated right now. At the highest levels. This is not retail, y'all. If you look at the volume on— go look at the volume on— you can look at the volume and tell who's buying, right? This not retail. These are central banks and sovereign players, y'all. Now, again, I explained last week gold isn't reacting to excitement at this point. It's responding to confidence risk. So when trust and long-term stability starts to weaken, because that's what it's done, Capital is going to look for assets that don't rely on promises, don't depend on counterparties behaving, and don't need consistent refinancing. Refinance it. That's why gold is rising even while the dollar looks relatively strong. The dollar is still being used, but it's being hedged. And silver, silver is the fastest, more, uh, volatile pressure valve in the system. So gold is Usually first, then silver follows harder, actually. Okay, so now this affects you directly. Let me see how— thank you so much. I'm trying to break it down like so y'all can really get it. So this is how, um, this is going to affect you directly because I do want you to understand. So when metals start behaving like this, what it tells you is that liquidity is becoming more selective. Uh, capital is prioritizing reliability. Just hear me with that word. Capital is prioritizing reliability. Reliability, not price. Reliability over yield. Because again, looking for yield with dollars when you're in debt doesn't solve— the debt is rising higher than the yield at this point. You got to keep— you, you on a, on a hamster wheel going round and round in circles. Right? The debt is because costing more and more. Yield cannot fix this. That's what I mean by yield, by the way. Okay, I'm not saying, um, that if you have assets you can't take yield, but I'm trying to give it to you in the scope of the dollar, what's happening. So it also lets you know that the system is slowly shifting from growth again at all costs to what still works under pressure. What works under pressure. This is usually the phase before broader adjustment shows up in currencies, bonds, and financial infrastructure. So, which means we're not talking about, oh, will the prices go up? It just really becomes what assets are still trusted when these conditions get tighter and tighter and tighter and tighter, right? That's the lens that institutions are looking through, and that's the lens that most individuals aren't even paying attention to. And I'm trying to help you to pay attention to these signs. Okay, now one more layer. Okay, and this is important because when trust starts shifting at the system level, Guess what gets new attention? Aha, new rails get new attention, new ways to move value, new ways to settle obligations, new ways to operate without friction. Well, what can do that? What can create speed when we're in these crisis? This is where digital infrastructure is starting to matter as a function. Okay, so when you see violent moves in the market like silver and gold or bonds, it's not about one trade or asset blowing up. It is about pressure building inside the plumbing of the financial system. Thank you so much, Carlton. Wait, thank you, I appreciate you. What's up, Carlton? Um, so large institutions, they don't fail the way that people imagine, okay? They don't just go bankrupt and disappear. When stress shows up at that level, the system responds in one way and one way only: liquidity support. Liquidity support. I just did a video on this. Go back and watch it. I know some things may fly over your head and some things may seem like this doesn't make sense, but all I can tell you is I'm giving you little pieces here and little pieces there so that they all make sense. Okay, liquidity support. What does that mean? Re— refinancing instead of liquidation, emergency backstops instead of defaults, uh, and ultimately more money created to keep the system moving. That's what's happening. This is why every major stress event ends the same way. It's not with a collapse, it's with intervention. Oh, what is that intervention, y'all? I wonder what that intervention looks like. Thank you so much. XRP will move the value of silver and gold. Yeah, we're gonna see. There's a lot to come, right? So we're looking at intervention right now, and but that intervention has consequences because the intervention that most people go to first. Okay, more money being created to keep the system moving. Print more dollars, print more dollars, keep printing, keep printing, right? That intervention has consequences. It weakens currencies, it forces assets now to be repriced, and it accelerates the search for systems that can move value. What? Here we go again, faster speed. Cheaper, less friction, right? Thank you, Carlton Way. I appreciate you giving me some late Christmas gifts. I love it. So the solution, y'all, is not another bailout. It's not another, oh, well, let's cut rates. It's beyond that at this point. We— it is so beyond that at this point. The solution is, um, better— the solution right now is going to be better infrastructure. So when capital has to move quickly across borders between institutes or institutions under stress, the system needs rails that do not clog up the system. It don't clog it, it don't delay it. It requires days of trust checks. Like money right now, having to use money as a solution, it don't matter how much you print, it still has to be pre-funded for things to kind of move., right? So that's what we're seeing right now. We're seeing a shift in that regulatory framework. It, it tighten into place. Banks moving towards custody and settlement integration. They're already integrating things. Japan has already tested some of these rails, derivatives and collateral. The rules are expanding for that. Real assets being treated differently than the speculative ones. We're moving into that. Okay, so this is why I'm trying to explain to you By the time that a lot of these assets, their price validates this entire story, or by the time headlines get to it, the positioning is done. The positioning is done. And assets, we got to understand, to— this is what I'm prioritizing. And, and I didn't say this, um, nothing I say is financial advice. Everything is for education and entertainment purposes only. Manage your own expectations. I'm not telling you what to buy, hold, or sell, or, or any of that. I'm telling you what I would do. Again, this is for educational purposes only. I am buying assets that can absorb, that can move and stabilize liquidity. They become more important to me. Um, they— why? Because the system needs them. We are talking about survivability, right? That's the lens I'm looking through. That's what I'm watching. That's why I think the next phase is about structure. And if you don't understand that these— what I'm telling you, these are signs of structure breaking. The old system, the old ways, the old ways to move money. It doesn't get replaced, it just gets upgraded. Less dependency on them and more dependency on what fixes this situation or, you know, creates better outcomes. Okay, and so I also want to say this. Let me— I didn't even do any type of housekeeping. There's a lot of people that are, um, uh, that are emailing me about my 90— my, my wealth program, my coaching program. Um, I just want to remind you that every time I do a video, I always say that the link is in the description. Um, and also a little bit of confusion about, uh, booking calls and stuff. So you do not need to book a call to, um, enter into that coaching program. The book call— anytime you book a call is for higher level coaching. Okay, so it's for, it's for something more than the, uh, the coaching, uh, program that's in the description. That is, you, you, you can get to the landing page, there's a video, there's all kind of information there for that. So I do want to say that. I just wanted to digress. Make sure if you're on here that you like the video Um, systems and structures rule. Okay, Lisa, I did— I see you. I don't know if I saw you, but thank you so much. I appreciate you so much, right? Um, there is a lot of manipulation happening, um, behind the scenes. Um, thank you so much, uh, Nick. Smash that like button for me. Um, what will happen to the crash? Um, not pre-recorded. We are live. No, we are live. We are live. Okay, this is a live video. I haven't gone live. Um, yes, this is not investment advice, educational purposes only. Um, what happens? Let me go back to this. What will happen? Well, we still know that the reverse carry trade is still at a risk, and what will happen is if oil spikes, um, this thing, this thing is going to break in half. Um, And they're gonna have to— they're gonna have to let go of those positions and, and get their debt settled, uh, because the price— if, if Japan is to meet and increase their rates, if they have an emergency meeting or something like that and they start to, um, raise their rates, then this thing is going to unwind. And, uh, people who were, um, who had borrowed, you know, from the yen— because remember, the yen was borrowed at barely nothing. Like, I would have done— I mean, like, imagine borrowing money for zero, for nothing, and then being able to invest it in an asset and make 10, 20, 30% a year or whatever. Like, that's free money making money, you know what I'm saying? But what happens when now the debt that you have within the yen, the, the, uh, the rates start increasing? Now it's costing you more to carry that debt. And so now I need to unwind this, and I need to now sell my assets and pay back the debt. Right? And so if— as if there's a massive asset selling, then everything is gonna— everything's going down, you know what I'm saying? There's a crash coming then. So there'll be a crash, um, which is always great opportunity. I'm, I'm, I'm ready for a crash. Like, I'm liquid enough for a crash because I've taken profits on things that I were really up on that I've been holding for several years, right? And so, um, I created a position just in case of a crash, and I took some nice profits on some things. Nothing— I didn't sell anything that was long-term, like my— some of my ETFs and stuff like that. And so, um, yeah, it causes banks to collapse. Japan stopped loaning out and people default on the yen. Yeah, yeah. I mean, this is a lot of people were— this is glo— this was global. So you got to imagine Japan The yen, they, their global currency translated into like trillions of dollars in our, in our economy. That's why our economy boom, you know what I'm saying? So imagine having to unwind all of that. Yeah, the assets will tank. Now I don't know which— I don't know, I'm not sure about— some people say silver and gold will still stay up, some people say it will also tank. I don't know. But what I do know is that Japan has already tested XRP. They've already tested the rails, and they would need something very fast. They would need speed. They would need certainty. And that's what would cause a com— you know, I call it a commodity like gold, but XRP to be revalued overnight. Well, when I say overnight, it may not be overnight. It could be overnight, or it could take a couple of weeks. I don't know how much time it would take, but I'm just saying that it would be revalued Why would it be revalued? Well, more than just the need of it, but also the supply shock. Remember when we talked about buyers and sellers? If you, if you, if you, um, if there's no sellers at low levels, you're gonna have to go to higher sellers. You're gonna have to— it has to be revaluated first of all because they— most people are not, most people are not buying into anything that's going to wind up with slippage. XRP at $2, there will be way too much slippage. You just can't— you— it won't be able to solve the problem that it was meant to solve. With too much slippage. And to be quite frank, they, they're looking for certainty over— it's just like right now, uh, some, some of these, um, industries, some of these manufacturers, they're buying silver. They would rather— even if silver is at $79, right— they would rather go and make a deal ahead of time, like before the market hits and stuff. They would rather make a deal and say, I'll buy at $85, I'll buy at $87. Like, they would rather make a deal that will certainly guarantee, right, that they get that silver. Why? Because they need it. There's a difference when you need something. Certainty over hype. People, it's— you, when you're dealing with a lot of money, you would rather pay more money than deal with slippage. I don't wanna, I don't wanna deal with slippage with my little money. And I can't, I can't, I can't compare my money to the institutions and the trillions of dollars. I would pay more money for certainty. Um, so there's a lot of reasons. Then you got the supply shock. There's not enough left of it because they've been using— they've been taking it off of the OTC, taking it off of the dark pools, the ETFs. Um, if BlackRock come out with an ETF, there's a supply and demand. So there's a supply shock. So you have all of these things happening at once, right? Thank you. And so that, that's, um, I've gone into a little bit of detail, um, with this, but I will say this just to say all of these pieces that I'm giving you behind the scene, like looking at silver go parabolic, go crazy, and all of this other stuff, and looking at gold at all-time highs while the dollar is relatively strong, like all of these are showing signs that the system is under a lot of stress. And right now it's not about— there's nothing that can help the system get out of stress other than certain assets that are supposed to be used when the system is under stress, right? They're needed. These assets are needed, um, because they're, they're created for this type of stress, okay? So this is not something you can look at technical analysis and say, oh, this is— this asset is at this price. This prices can be reevaluated. They can be reevaluated very quickly. And when I say very quickly, you know what I mean, like, you know, quicker than what it's supposed to be. Something should— something that could— should have maybe took months or even maybe years, perhaps it could be just reevaluated overnight. Just like even silver, like, again, there might be some gap-ups, you know what I'm saying? I'm assuming that there may be some gap-ups to about $100. Smash the like button for me. Um, yeah, but yeah, BlackRock hasn't filled the S-1 but could possibly come out with an ETF on Monday. And that's so true. They could get that done by— you'll see some stuff in the news by, you know, tomorrow evening, and it could launch out. And then boy, if they did that, it's gone. It's done. It's like there's not going to be any left. Like, you know what I'm saying? The supply is just— it's over with, right? So, um, yeah, make sure you catch the replay. So a lot of things are breaking, they're cracking, and I'm just trying to— again, I'm trying to come with other angles to show you. And it doesn't matter, like, yes, if there is an emergency, if there's a crisis, then, you know, things just happen faster than they should have. These things are going to happen anyway, right? The Clarity Act, the regulations, they sitting there, they're waiting on this, you know what I'm saying? So these assets were, were built for this anyway. It doesn't matter. But yes, an emergency could um, cause things to happen really quickly. And so yeah, the whales impact the market like a rocket. Yeah. And then, and then people— and then you got, you're gonna have people still buying at the top because they need this. They're, they're afraid. Like, they're afraid. And again, we're talking institutions and central banks and stuff. JP Morgan has already, I think, tried to fix this. I, I, you know, I— if it go up any higher, it's gonna be a problem. That's all I can say. I don't know what's gonna be The Solution, I'm just watching like everybody else. Um, Real Narrative say buy XRP. I'm buying XRP. I did, I did, um, one last, uh, huge order, um, was it Christmas Day? Yeah, before the new year. But I've, you know, I've been buying it for quite some time. Another $10 on Monday. I think we could definitely go up another, and that's crazy to me. That's for a commodity. Y'all, y'all gotta look behind— y'all gotta look behind the curtains. So anyway, that's what I'm trying to reveal, and I'm trying to help you guys to see it in that way so that you can come to your own conclusions. Because really, when people come to their own conclusions and they make decisions because they put the pieces of the puzzle together and they were able to say, yeah, this is definitely something I'm convicted on that I have to move forward in, it just— it takes out the emotions, and it just like— you, you wind up having a real solid, healthy, stable game plan. Like, you got to understand, what I'm telling you is to consider these different pieces, use your brain, and start, you know, having some critical thinking, right? Whereas most other people, on the flip side, they're just gonna be like all wrapped up in the hype of stuff, like moving emotionally when things, you know, unravel. And they're coming in on the back end. It's— and it's never healthy to do it that way. Um, yes, yes, I, I— that was a big piece that I didn't— January 1st, China is halting its silver shipments. So that's another piece. They are halting their, their silver shipments. That is huge. Okay, so I mean, this thing is like— yeah, this thing is really unfolding. Um, yeah, that's, um, that's what I'm trying to, you know You, you're so welcome. Uh, it's a joy to do this. It's a joy that you guys are, um, here, you know, listening to and being educated. But I can guarantee you guys, y'all gonna be some of the wealthiest people in the future because you know how to start putting pieces of the puzzle together and following the structure, you know what I'm saying? Following liquidity. You're not just, oh, this, this the next thing moving, let's jump on it. Let's do, you know what I mean? And that's what most people are doing, honestly. That's why even when some of these, um, you know, assets start to go crazy, you're gonna have your friends and family finally saying, oh, you think I should get in now? And it's like, you should have been in. Like, even, even if you can get in right now, what you, what you got, a few dollars? You got a few dollars when it went all the way up to this price? You ain't gonna make no real footing. You know what, this is something I'm— and it brings me to this point right now. Sometimes I just have moments of I just have aha moments, and I, and I just had one, and it, and it's gonna make me now share this on Monday with my members. I'm gonna share on Monday, right? I'm looking at some of the, uh, silver is a critical metal. Yeah, money and technology. Yep. Um, what's up, Pookie? Um, this guy here, um, I missed a lot. Uh, that's all right, it's recorded. Uh, let's see. Roy on Bitcoin is low, even if it goes to a million, right? Yeah. So, um, I just had a, um— this is what I want to talk about. I want to talk about on Monday with my members, because I'm always trying to, you know, really set the stage. And it just came to me, um, I don't know, for some reason. There's a difference between wealth creation and wealth preservation, okay? I think I want to talk about that with my members on Monday because right now we're in a stage where we can make moves for wealth creation, right? But some people are going to miss those moves, and those who did make those moves, they're not going to have to take the same risk and do the same things. And you know what I'm saying? Like, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, we are all waiting, you know, not in the dark, but somewhat in the dark, where we— where things just have to manifest. And catch up to reality, right? And we were all positioned early and all of that and had wealth creation opportunities. They don't come often in, in such a short frame of time, okay? It can take a lifetime for some people to find these, but there's going to be a people that's now moving into wealth preservation. They are totally different, right? And wealth creation has to start— it can't start on the back end of a trend, on the back end of hype, and when things are moving and stuff like that. That's why I keep saying people are gonna miss it. They, they miss the wealth transfer by not getting on board, and you know what I mean, and, and, and running to the mall to buy new shoes when they could have been taking that money and putting it in something that's going to potentially make them become absolutely, um, the silver symbols for— like, are you talking about for like, um, for the, the stock market, or are you talking about— because we're talking about fit, we're not talking about the stock market. We are talk— we are only talking about physical silver. So commodities, which we went through, um, some of the, uh, what was it, Apex, uh, what was the— it was one that keeps showing up. Um, let me see if I can find it. It was another comment that I— oh, I missed it now. Oh, oh, this one. Uh, uh, we will literally become our own bank, right? Absolutely. And so now we're positioned to now become a bank. People gonna miss that because they're trying to come in on the hype. You gotta set this— you gotta set this up early. Uh, but for the silver, we're talking about physical silver, not, uh, if you're talking about like— I don't know if you're talking about like the, the stock market or whether— we're not talking about the stock market silver, we're talking about actual silver, um, physical silver, meaning holding your own silver from, uh, we— what we— goldsilver.com, um, JM Bullion. What was the other one? Put the other one back up. I know I, I— oh Yeah, is that how you spell it? APMEX is what I use. Okay, APMEX. Um, so yeah, I don't want you to get confused and go buy— you know, we talking about actual physical silver. Um, my take on SHX, um, I did an entire video on that in my membership. Uh, it's on lock, um, to only my members, and I break down why I am super bullish on SHX in the future.. And, um, I did a collaboration with explaining the connection between SHX, XLM, and XRP. Um, I did a whole video on that. And so the, the— by the way, the membership for the YouTube is only $3.99 a month, right? So look, somebody remember Silver? I remember an ounce was only $9. Ain't that crazy? I cannot even believe it. Like, this is just out. This is just— but it lets you know what's happening behind the scenes. You know what I mean? So, um, yeah, I got some SHX as well. I'm bullish on it. So, um, join the membership, it's worth it. There's a lot— all of the videos are— have been recorded so you can go back and watch them. They are very valuable. I think you'll get a lot of value. I talk about even my exit strategies and stuff. I talk about all of that. Um, so, oh, here you go. Um, so for physical silver, because we don't want you confused, um, about the silver. We talking about physical silvers, um, and here's some, um, places that are recommended as well. I bought mine so long ago. Actually, the company that I bought mine— mine is in a, um, also I have some in a, uh, in an IRA as well. So, all right, we got a new member, Mary. We will see you on Monday. So yeah, I think I'm going to talk about that, and I'm going to go into some details with the different structures of that because, uh, we got different people on different You know, let me just say that. I'm gonna just be honest because I gotta keep it real, y'all. I gotta keep it real. Um, you know, it's interesting because I am in— I'm in all kind of masterminds and I'm around a lot of super wealthy people, okay? You got wealthy people that are like completely capped out on their cash. They so capped out Um, and the only cash they have is cash maybe that they've taken profits on for something to rebuy, not to go shopping, not to go spend. But it's like they are totally maxed out. I know super wealthy people that have invested in assets and really have sacrificed all the way to the point where there were people who are wealthy who could just trade in their assets and be good. They were working 2 and 3 jobs over Christmas, over the holidays, to invest in more assets before the end of the year. They were doing— they, they not— they have their own businesses. They were going out and doing Uber. Literally, this is how hard— you don't understand. Sometimes, like, the wealthiest people, they like working the hardest. They really are. Meanwhile, you got people and you're asking them, like, do you have any assets? Do you own anything? And they got a bunch of excuses. Meanwhile, they shopping out, they, they shopping for Christmas. How you got money to shop for— how you got all this money to do all this other stuff? Now you complain, and then you got these people running in the mall buying these Jordans, bumping people, all of this, but you complaining about not having money for your, your food and stuff like that when the government shut down. How you got money to go buy all of these Jordans and stuff and you barely making it? People find money for what they want to find money for. They're just not willing to sacrifice for what they want temporarily because they're used to acting like children, meaning I'm gonna get what I want now, you know what I'm saying? I want this now, so I'm gonna get it. They don't know how to sit down somewhere and say, you know what, let me put my money towards something that's going to help build my future. I don't care what you say, if you really wanted to invest and create an opportunity to build wealth in 2025. You could have said, I'm not going to go on this trip this year. You could have said, I'm not going to buy this stuff that I'm about to buy. You could have said, no, I'm not doing these Uber— no, I'm gonna turn off every one of my, my subscriptions. I'm turning off Netflix, I'm turning off Hulu, I'm turning off Amazon Prime, I'm turning off whatever, and all of that money is going to go into my future. Because I got an opportunity unlike no other opportunity, and I'd rather see what's gonna happen on the other side of this than just waste my money month to month. Nobody has an excuse. You find money for what you want to find money for. Eat beans and rice for 2 years if you need to. I, I took 5 years and stayed, um, in my house. We was living on top of each other years ago. I had like, we, we was, we was sleeping in the, like, like I had people living in, in my house and I wanted a bigger house at the time, but I was like, no, because I want to be able to save enough cash, go in, remodel like everything. And I said, nope, we're just gonna, we're just gonna make it work. Hey, y'all sleep on the couch, you can sleep in the basement, you know what I mean? Like, because I always, always have like my, my like adopted kind of kids that's always with me. But I'm telling you, why is it that people who have more, they sacrifice more? You know what I'm saying? I said this to some other people. I missed my best friend's 50th birthday party in another nation. I had the money to go, but I knew that I really wanted to invest it in my assets for this year because that's what I started off my game plan with at the beginning of this year. And I couldn't alter that. Did I want to be there? Absolutely. I wanted to be on an island somewhere. Here I am, got the money, can go, but I'm choosing to sacrifice when— you know what I'm saying? Like, and everybody else, they, they just spending their money, and then they're gonna look up, and then they're gonna be mad, and then they're gonna feel entitled, and then they're gonna want you— well, you should pay your fair share— and all this other stuff, you know what I'm saying? I'm telling you It's your decision to get wealthy. It's always your decision, you know what I mean? Like, and I'm not saying it's not hard. I think everybody has struggled for the last couple of years, okay? We all struggled, okay? I did, you did, everybody did. Folks struggle with debt, you know what I'm saying? Trying to refinance, trying to make it. Trust me, you're not the only one. There's, there's, there's, there's some hardship, and I think a lot of us faced it, just like we all did for COVID. Right? So this is why I won't spend $6,000 going to XRP Las Vegas. I would rather— yeah, like, those are the decisions, you know what I'm saying? And I'm sure you want to go, I'm sure. But don't worry, you're gonna be able to go. You're gonna be able to go when it's— when the time is right, the right year, the right time. You can take a breather once things get where they need to get. You can take a breather and say, okay, I'm gonna— I'm gonna just, just sit in this for a moment. But I'm telling you, you gotta take moments to invest and to sacrifice. Why is it that, you know what I'm saying, the people who take the most sacrifice, who got the most and stuff, they— it's like, and, and, and then people sit by and then you just seeing them. Oh, you got a new pair of shoes on today, huh? What's that new necklace you got on your neck? Oh, you got— you going to the show today? You got money to go to the show? Okay, don't come back saying nothing. Don't come back saying that because you went to the show, you went out to eat, you had Uber Eats, you was watching Netflix, you doing Hulu, you was traveling, you was going here, there, everywhere with new purses, new shoes and all of this other stuff and then got the nerve to complain. I just needed to say that, y'all. I'm sorry, I need to say that. I need to say that because I, I really want you guys to choose wealth. You can choose, you can make a choice. It's a lot of people who come from nothing. All you need to do is listen to their story, right? Listen to that story, be encouraged, be inspired. We have all had a rough time. Trust me, it's a rough time when you got your money all in assets, okay? And then for some people, you know, think about it, they had their money in crypto. Crypto failed really hard this year, you know what I'm saying? Sorry, not sorry. That's right, Tiffany, what's up, right? All right, um, what Pookie saying? Let's see, uh, what Pookie— I gotta find Pookie's, um, uh, we just went through that. Just go back and look at the replay. We put, um, we put up all throughout the replay, all the way from the beginning, silver If somebody want to put it back up, uh, yeah, I gotta say it. Like, bro, I had a light bulb. This is why I'm single and separate from the pack. It's all good. This is the kind of vibe, yes, where I feel like the— yes. And then, you know, but that's the kind of vibe that we should all put ourselves in because it just makes us grow and it makes us, you know what I'm saying, like chase for something more, something better. So more success is more to life than this. And listen, you know what I mean, like a lot of people have struggled with cash flow, trying to figure it out, trying to make— listen, when you got restriction, it makes you a little bit more creative. Let that restriction happen. Put your, put your money where it needs to go and let that restriction happen, because then you'll come up with creative ways. Like, okay, I need to get cash flow this way. Okay, because I don't want to let— you know what I'm saying? It's the last option. But I'm telling you, and start somewhere. Absolutely start somewhere. Please make new video. My mom's 65, 64, and she won't listen. A lot of them won't listen. They, they won't. But when you, when you get what you get, you just going, you, you know, you They— well, no, I ain't gonna tell you to go. Don't, don't tell too many people when it gets to where it's gonna get, because then they're gonna be asking for all your stuff and they're gonna feel entitled and stuff. And, and now it's like, now it's like, I know, no, no, I'm not trying to like now spend all this money now. Now I sacrifice all this to now make your life better, you know what I'm saying? I'm just gonna go buy you a brand new mansion. Everybody get mansions, everybody come on, we throwing out mansions like cakes over here. No, no, no, no, no. Now we gotta now get that money to make more money. We gotta invest it in cash flow businesses, then we can take some of that cash and then we can splurge and all of that other stuff. We got to have a blueprint after that, right? So, uh, yeah, it's only $3.99 a month for the membership for YouTube, for YouTube to join that membership and get access to all of those videos. And I'm with you every Monday after the live, we go into the, um, into the membership and we, we talk some, some extra real deal stuff.

Share this video with somebody because they need to know what's happening. Also, um, you know, when you're thinking about understanding the macro environment, liquidity structure, it's not something that most people learn, even if you go to a financial university or anything. So I do point people to Stock Up University, okay? It is really, really amazing. I've taken the course. I, I re-look at the videos. It does teach technical analysis because there's a place for all of that when you're trying to make money, especially short term.

If you are not where you want to be, then, you know, don't wake up tomorrow and then wonder why you— where you are tomorrow. Where you are tomorrow has everything to do with what you did today, what you invested in today, right? Andrew, new member, we're gonna see you on Monday.

So just be real patient. I don't know if that's like a YouTube thing or if some people just have trouble with it. I'm not sure. Maybe they was trying to process the payment. I'm not sure.

Don't let no stupid environment, toxic people I call them dumb people, you know what I mean? Don't let— don't let— and when I say dumb people, I'm not just calling everybody dumb. I'm just saying this is some people just out there, you know, they just rather spend their money on, you know what I'm saying, drugs and partying and stuff like that. Maybe I shouldn't call them dumb. They might have had a rough childhood. I don't know, a lot of reasons why people do what they do. But I'm just saying, you can't be in those environments and grow if you want to grow. You got to align yourself to environments and communities that are going where you want to go. So align yourself in 2026. All right, I appreciate all of you guys, and, uh, continue to share the journey.
