XRP Was Built for This Crisis

Hey, it's Kamilah Stevenson. Around here we talk wealth. There's a lot going on, we're gonna go ahead and get into it. There's a lot to discuss and I want to help to prepare you guys for what's ahead and kind of talk about— we're going to walk through a little bit of what's happening right now in the world and I'll make, uh, sure that I just bring some clarity to it. I see you guys are already in the chat. Put a 1 in the chat if you would prefer to invest in Bitcoin, put a 2 in the chat. If right now you would prefer to invest in gold, 1 in the chat for Bitcoin and 2 for gold. I would love to see how you guys are thinking about your positioning. All right, 1 for Bitcoin and 2 for gold. I see some Bitcoin. Uh, also go ahead and like the video on your way in. It really do help the video, um, it helps the channel. So, and it doesn't cost you anything for for doing that. So if you can do me that favor. Somebody said 2.5. All right, I see a little bit of Bitcoin and I see some gold up in here. Um, good, I see how you guys are thinking. Somebody says silver. You know, the way you have to look at how you position is not how much it costs, it's, it's the percentage of gain. Okay, because I get that a lot of times and I'm going to get into it in a minute. Again, like the video Um, I— there's a psychology behind price when people are investing in things. So I just want to say this, uh, like even in the stock market you would have certain businesses that would, you know, do a 50— let's say a business at $1,000 did a 50% increase, right? And so now you're looking at $1,500, from $1,000 to $1,500. And then let's say you have a business that was only $100 and they made a 10% increase, so they went from $100 to $1,000. 10. So let's say you only had, you know, $100 to give, and that's why the $1,000 looks so, um, you know, like looks too expensive for you. So most people would just look at the price and they're not looking at the ROI, the return of investment. So if you put that $100 into the $1,000 stock and it was a 50% increase, you would get back $150. But if you put that $100 into the $100 stock that's only 10%, you only going to get back $110. So we don't want to think in terms of price, but we want to think in terms of scale or ROI. You know, what is the return of investment? All right. And I know some people, and that's why they do stock splits, like, you know, Netflix just did. They was, you know, somewhere around $1,000 or more, and they split because it's psychologically more attractive to people just when they're looking at price. But I want you to get beyond that point. And, um, and don't just look at the, the cost of something as to what you want to put your money in, or say that's too expensive for me. You know, you get the same slice of the pie as the percentage increase as anybody who put, um, the whole amount in there. Okay, so whatever you put in, you're going to get your return of investment off of the movement of that particular asset. All right, so anyway, And yeah, I don't really like stock splits either. Um, sometimes it does a lot of damage. That's been Webull's problem, is just constant stock slices. And to the point, like, some, some companies do it, um, just to get new buyers in, and then other companies, you, you start wondering if they believe in their own, um, if, if they're starting to not believe in their own capital, you know, um, or the, their performance of that particular, you know, business. And so it gets kind of scary. So you do have to watch when there's too many stock splits. All right, let's get into it because again, like the video, I'm just going to go ahead and start and say, hey, anything I say is not to be taken where you go and invest in whatever your assets are that you believe in because of something I said. This is not financial advice. It's only for educational and entertainment purposes only. I want to break down what's happening right now because all the signs are there. You have equities, they're vulnerable right now. You have oil climbing. We're going to get into that and what this all means. Uh, gold is pushing higher. And this isn't to say that we won't have drawbacks, you— I don't know. But what, what we are paying attention to is that there is an energy crisis that is happening, and an energy crisis becomes the catalyst for what? Money printing. And I need y'all to know that. If y'all don't know nothing else, I just need you guys to know that these type of crisis, they cause money to start printing. And you have to figure out, okay, well, what does that mean? Okay, and if you take it all the way back, uh, even to Bretton Woods, right, that we don't need a dramatic moment in order to have a Bretton Woods type of, of, uh, situation in a sense. And for those who don't know, the Bretton Woods was the 1944 agreement that basically reset the entire global financial system. So what happened was they tied currencies to the dollar, and then they tied the dollar to gold, and then they created the entire world order, um, and we've been living under that ever since, okay? We don't need that type of reset, okay? So we don't— we don't— all we need right now is a resource conflict to kick things off, okay? And so— and I'll look through some of the comments, um, and then after this, like I say, I'm going to go with my members because I have made some, um, changes. I've done— I've, um, invested in a few things, um that, that I think are wise to invest in for the time that we're dealing with. And I'll reveal something else that I got positioned in kind of early. Um, so I'm going to give the whole game plan after this, okay? So I'm going to— right after we get off, I'm going to go on with my members and talk exactly about what the game plan is. So if you want to hear about that and some of the, um, stocks even that I've invested in and what I'm personally doing, I'm going to give you exactly what that is. And I haven't talked about it on the channel, but there are some positions that you can, um, there's some, there's some opportunity in this. I look at everything as an opportunity. No, I don't want war. Um, I'm not like— I'm a real peaceful person and I don't like war, but there are opportunities in this. And so that's what I'm looking at. Um, so I'm going to talk through that in a moment. But what I need you guys to understand is that when we're looking at war, essentially we are— at the end of the day, many times it's really a game of resources. That's all this is. So what we're watching right now is a, is a strategic consolidation of energy and supply chains. Okay, so when nations start to feel unstable with what's going on right now, what they do is they secure raw materials and they secure trade routes. Okay, and then they strengthen defense, uh, capacity. So that's what we're looking at right now. And, um, while everybody is probably trying to look at their portfolio and trying to figure out the game plan The bigger picture is the macro chess game that's being played with energy and commodities and control. And if you understand that, which is what I'm going to help you to do, you're going to understand where the money is about to flow. Where is the money about to flow? Because I need to be in alignment with that. Okay, now we have seen, uh, and we're still watching this because Donald Trump said that, um, The biggest wave hasn't even hit yet. And so, uh, it's supposed to— I think, what did they say, this could last 4 weeks, I think they said, all the way up to the summertime. I don't know, um, time will tell. I, I hope— I don't like when people die, especially innocent people, um, but I'm just giving you what has been said, you know what I mean? So we got some— we don't know how— I can't tell you what events will take place when But there are signals, everyone. And again, where is money going to flow? What is going to happen with liquidity in this situation, right? So we do have oil moving up. We have seen that the shipping routes were disrupted. Insurance, uh, is going to jump. Cost is going to jump. You know, them— the insurance premiums on tankers, they jump 30 to 50% often. All right, so the markets, we're looking Okay, today I jumped into some option plays. I'll talk about that. And, um, again, I already had some other, uh, um, shares in place. I had some other stock in place. Why? Because see, people wait to the last minute to get on top of this stuff. We've been talking about this for how many months? For how long? You should be already positioned. I was already positioned in a few things that are now at 50%. I'm 50% up on some of my shares. Because I already got positioned. I don't need to wait for complete certainty. And I think some people are looking for that, right? We've been talking about this for a very long time. And so if you're not making moves, you're just, you're just one of them people that's gonna be too late to the party, okay? So I am trying to understand something deeper, and I try to dump my brain so you guys can understand where I stand with this. But when you have a conflict that touches energy supply, okay, which is some of the information that we've been sharing all along. Like, hey, if the Strait of Hormuz gets closed, then we can see an energy supply issue, okay? So now we have that. Remember, the Strait of Hormuz, they roughly handle a fifth, 20%, of the world's entire oil flow, okay? So you're not just— we're not just— this is not just politics right now. I'm gonna, I'm gonna help you guys understand something. You talking about car structure. Oil affects everything. And I think a lot of times when— thank you so much, uh, Vault. I think a lot of times when, um, when we talk about energy— I appreciate this— when we talk about energy, and I'm just making sure I didn't miss any super chats or whatever, so I'm okay. Um, anytime we talk about energy, I think people just think gas, gas prices, like at the gas station. Station, you know. I think that's just what go to people, man. I'm going to give you a good picture of what we're talking about when, when, uh, oil gets disturbed, okay? We're not talking about gas, just gas prices. It's going to touch everything. Why? Because oil is baked into almost every part of modern life. Let me, let me run through a few things so that you know what, um, this could affect, so that you prepare, okay? I'm letting you know so you can be prepared just in case. Okay, um, so yes, of course we're talking about gasoline, diesel, all of that, but heating oil, natural gas, um, all of those will spike your electric bill. And Lord knows I do not need my electric bill to go up any more than it's already gone up. But anything that runs on energy, um, you may have a cost increase, maybe overnight, who knows. Then you're talking about food, okay? Farming equipment runs on diesel. Fertilizers are made from petroleum, right? Uh, food gets shipped on trucks and, and planes. Matter of fact, the plane prices have— are going to go up if, um, energy is going up, right? Your grocery bill is going to probably explode, um, just because of transportation. Meat, produce, grain, all of it, all of your food. Plastics— this is a lot of, uh, a lot of people forget about this, but plastics come from petroleum also. What does that mean? Your packaging, your medical supplies, your phone cases, plastic, car parts, clothing fibers like, um, polyester, uh, even containers that your food come in. Think about all of that, right? Manufacturers, um, they're gonna get hit. They're gonna slow down or possibly get shut down if there's an acceleration with this. I'm just painting a picture of what could be the possibility so you can look at that.. But anything with petrochemicals, you got paints, adhesives, synthetic rubber, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics even, right? They all get more expensive or they get harder to get. Let's say they, they can get harder to get as a matter of fact too. The bottom line is that an energy crisis is not again just about gas prices. It's an everything crisis. And that is exactly why it becomes the excuse to what? Turn money printers back on. That's all that this is going to do, right? So, um, when oil spikes, obviously you see that there's a pressure inside the financial system. So we're going to be watching for that, right? I'm watching whether or not— and this is where we come to, uh, the signals— I'm watching whether or not this turns into what? A liquidity problem. Oh, wait a minute, what technology helps a liquidity problem? What, what was that again? What technology helps a liquidity problem?, right? So, um, I want you to understand, um, number one, and I'm gonna look at, uh, it was easy. I'm gonna, uh, I want to look at how energy shocks travel through the system. I also want to look at, um, the signals that tell us whether or not this is going to be contained or is it, is it going to be an escalated financial situation, right?? And then where opportunity historically appears when volatility rises and people start making these type of emotional decisions, right? Y'all got it. XRP. Yeah, yep, y'all got it. XRP. And somebody said, I just bought another 500 XRP. Good for you, increasing your capacity. I will be buying, you know, y'all, I'm buying, um, XRP daily whether it go up or down. I'm dollar cost averaging. I have enough of it, but at this point, hey, I'm buying it for other people at this point. Um, hello Kamilah, I really appreciate you sharing all your knowledge. Your mindset is solid and grounded. I've been listening and applying more XRP. I appreciate this so much, Desmond. Yeah, I, I want you guys to position yourself, um, as much as possible. And you say it's a huge, uh, chess game. Trump is moving that queen all over the board. Yeah, this is a chess game, you know. This is, um, you know And someone said, I refuse to buy. I'm not buying Bitcoin right now, um, personally. I'll buy it if it drops down or something, right? I'll buy it if it drops down. DCA, and that is the name of the game, and that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm not waiting, you know. I keep telling you guys, even though I have limit orders, I'm not like waiting for— because you, you could be waiting for something that you think could happen and then it may not. Let me tell you, even the most brilliant experts at this point are like probably, maybe, like nobody's for certain. There's so much uncertainty, there's things changing by the day, okay? So nobody can say what will happen, right? And so that's why I'm just positioning, okay? That's, that's all I'm doing is positioning. Now, uh, again, like the video and, uh, subscribe if you haven't already. Now listen, so let's, let's take a step back real quick and I'll get into some of the, um the comments. And yeah, I'll, I'll say something about also XRP because we want to paint a picture, right? We, we— let's assume that this doesn't fade, okay? Now again, we plan for the worst but we hope for the best. But let's say, let's assume oil stays elevated, let's assume that the shipping disruption continues, let's assume insurance costs do not normalize with this impact, right? And that energy is staying tight maybe for weeks, um, at a time. We don't know how long it'll last. Nobody knows, right? But here's what that does, and, and this is the way I'm thinking, is always position, opportunity. This is not me supporting anything or not supporting. I'm not— I'm, I'm very neutral on it. I'm like XRP, neutral, okay? So I'm looking at opportunity, okay? So Higher oil feeds into inflation expectations again. All right, so think about that. And then you have inflation expectations, they put pressure on the bond markets. And then the bond markets are already fragile, you guys. So here's what gets interesting, okay? And this is for— I get a lot of new people who are not understanding the reverse carry trade and what we're in the middle of and the possibility of what could happen. So Japan is one of the largest holders of global debt, okay? For years they have kept rates near zero, right? And they allowed for the carry trade to thrive because of that. You borrow cheap yen and then you deploy that capital elsewhere, okay? Which was in risk-on assets, which was in the stock market. It, you know, they, they, they put it wherever they could put it because it's, hey, it's zero interest rates. Like, who wouldn't, who wouldn't borrow from them at that point? Now, if oil stays high and inflation pressure is starting, um, or continues to build globally, then Japan does not have the luxury of staying ultra loose, right? So, you know, if, if oil stays high, Japan is in a very difficult situation. They have already been signaling that they want to hike rates. They've already said they were going to hike it some more. If they are forced to because of oil staying high, if they're forced to do that— and oil would have to probably make a high jump in a short period of time, right? But if they're forced to raise rates while energy costs are rising up, then that's going to strengthen the yen, okay? And when the yen strengthens, it puts pressure on anyone who borrowed that yen to deploy that capital somewhere else.. And that unwind is going to force— it's going to force them to reposition. Okay, now I've heard a few people say, well, Japan, um, they may have some reserves of oil, so they should be fine. But let me just explain, like, just from a common sense level, I get that, but tapping into reserves is not a strength, right? That's like dipping into your emergency fund. If you have a— if you have an emergency and you have to dip into your emergency fund, Like, that's not a good thing. That means there's an emergency, okay? And you don't do that when something is functionally, uh, functionally normal. Like, you're gonna do that when there is a problem. And so that's not like a good thing, like, oh, it's okay, they're just gonna go into— no, they don't want to go into their reserves, just like you don't want to go into your emergency fund. So that's not really a good thing. That's not something that they want to do. So even if they had to do that, that's not a good thing, okay? Now understand too that We've been— this, this has been brewing and brewing, and it's been slowly rolling out over some time, right? So it's been unwinding, all right? So it's slow until it's not slow, okay? So if this starts to— and I say that because there are things that are slow until they're not, meaning things can happen suddenly at some point, all right? So it forces, it forces a flow, and then boom, suddenly things can happen. So I want you to understand what the possibilities are again, because if it happens, then you have capital. You're looking for, okay, well, what happens if it happens all of a sudden? Suddenly, well, capital is going to get pulled back, positions are going to get reduced. And what is it? And then you're going to have people FOMOing in, and then you're going to have risk get cut. So this is what, um, and I've said this before, I think that, I think I said this on Saturday, when we talk about liquidity starts to thin Now think about what happens when there's thin liquidity. The markets are not going to glide and slide. No, they're going to gap. It's going to be hiccup, hitty up, like it's going to be a gap, okay? Like a, you know what I'm saying? Like it's going to be a snap. Let me, that's a better word. It's going to be a snap. It's not going to drift away, okay? It's going to snap, right? So the stocks are not going to like slowly adjust. Like, a lot of these assets, if this were to happen— again, this is an if, you know, plan for the worst but hope for the best— um, things would not be well, okay? I just need you guys to know that because every time I say that— and I'll get to the Super Chats— I don't think people understand that. And that's the environment. Um, if that environment comes, you do not want to be emotional. I can promise you right now, I don't care how much you set yourself to like stay a certain way it will still test you. It will still test your emotions. Um, I don't care what you say, most of you still will be tested in your emotions on, oh my God, is this gonna do— what is— what's— what's gonna happen? And trust me, people who are not getting educated, they're really going to be emotional. Like, education is what, like, stabilizes your emotions in a sense, okay? So that is the environment that we're looking at, and it's going to matter whether or not you have a plan, or some of you could become exit liquidity. I can promise you that. Let me look at some of the Super Chats. Uh, you said on your last slide, most people don't expect their dreams to come true. Can you elaborate? I've been investing forever, a while, but it's hard to hold. Um, meaning that a lot of people are— have to be validated by certain things that's happening, and so they're not able to hold on to a dream. Because a lot of times when you have a dream or when you have something that um, you're planning for, a lot of that is inward. You don't always have the— all the confirmations right there. And so it tests your patience, and a lot of people are too impatient, okay? A lot of people sell too early. Like, trust me, like, people who hold on, people who waited out, they'll come back and tell you that it was worth it, right? It's like, even, even for people with Bitcoin, you know? And I'm not saying I— like I said, I'm not buying Bitcoin right now, but Anybody who probably sold, you know, early on, they regret it. Ask them, the people who years ago sold when it went from, you know, when it went to $1,000 or whatever, like, they regret it because they, in their minds, like, they couldn't see, they couldn't see that this, there was a possibility for, for this to go anywhere above this, this price point. So it's happened in the past. So I'm just saying that to say a lot of people are if they have a dream, the problem about— the problem with having a dream or having a vision is that a lot of times you don't get the certainty and you don't get the external validation that you really want. And it's just very hard for people to mentally stay connected to that dream and mentally continue to picture and vision— visualize that dream and continue to invest in the same alignment as that dream. And then at the end of the day, when people— when people don't get where they want to get, You got to ask yourself, well, did you not get there because you gave up? Did you not get there because you wasn't sewing in a direction of your vision? Because you were, you were fatigued, you know what I'm saying, about having to wait? Because people are just impatient and they're emotional, right? It takes a lot of mental capacity and a lot of emotional stability and emotional intelligence to stick to a dream that you have, whether it's a business that you want to build or, or something that you want to do in life. A lot of people give up And, and even, you know, I like working out, y'all, so I'm gonna always give examples of this. Like, usually when you give up, when you give up on something, if you were to do a plank right now and, um, your mind would give up before your body would. You just don't know that. And by the time you let go of that plank, trust me, your mind, your mind is what told you probably to give up. Your mind always gives up first, even before your body will. And if you, you know how I know? Because if somebody was just to tell themselves like, just 10 more seconds, I guarantee you they can squeeze another 10 seconds out. But their mind give up, their minds give up. And so that's what I mean, is like people's minds give up on their dreams before they have time for it to manifest. And that's just how the human heart is wired, you know what I mean? Like a lot of times we just— we, we— and then sometimes you got to encourage yourself. There is no one around you. Sometimes when you have a dream like Joseph, like there's no one around you. As a matter of fact, more people are discouraging that dream. You got to encourage yourself along the way. You got to talk to the right people too, because people will call you crazy, and then all the negativity will come out, and then it will detour you from what it is that you dream to do and be in life. All right, so you got to find ways to create a structure and a system. I always say you don't rise to the level of your will, you fall to the level of your structure. You fall to the level of your systems. Most people have a dream, they have things that they want to do, but they still don't put structures around themselves. Just like, for example, I've been saying get your stuff off the exchanges, get a cold wallet. How many people still don't have a cold wallet? That's proof right there that there's just certain structures you still haven't put in place. There's certain initiatives and certain things that you still haven't done that you know you should do, but why you haven't done it yet? Ask yourself that. Ask yourself, why haven't you done it yet? Why? Because you think you got time until you don't, and that happens. Let me make sure I don't have any more Super Chats that I'm, I'm not missing. Um, Trezor, uh, yeah, I like Trezor. Trezor, my, my words today. Um, I like Trezor, I do. Um, so yeah, we gotta, uh, I'll be crazy and wealthy. And you know what, most people who have dreams, they are— they do sound crazy. Think about it, think about it. Like, think about people who like have big dreams. I'm gonna do this, you know what I mean? Like, it's like, yeah, right, you're Not too many people are able to do that. I'm telling you, it's the one who stick. They stick to their convictions, they stick to their thesis. And not only that, y'all, again, you have to align your actions with that. You can talk all— let me tell you, your values are going to say a lot about you. Like, people always say what they're gonna do and what they believe in and what they value. No, I believe it. No, put your money where your mouth is. Put your money where your mouth is. If you want to get wealthy, do you think you can go and spend your money and consume all day and just, you know, splurge and just buy stupid stuff and never invest and say, oh, I'll do that tomorrow. No, that's— then you don't really have that value in place. And if your actions aren't in alignment with it, you're not— it's just like somebody who like, I know, I know, I wanna— I'm gonna get my health together. No, well then put your actions where your mouth is. Get up and go work out. Move around. Put some dumbbells in your hand. Do some, some, some air squats. Do something. It don't even need to be nothing dramatic. That's another thing, we get these New Year resolutions and then we all of a sudden want to like do something big. People want to do big things, they don't want to be consistent. Why? Because consistency is boring to people. They want to be extravagant and then they do a 100-meter sprint and then they give up. That's just how— that's how people are. They're explosive and then they, they run out of energy. But you know what, it's that turtle. Y'all ever see that, uh, when we was growing up? The turtle and the, uh, the, the bunny. Was it the bunny? What was the turtle racing against? Y'all know that, y'all know what I'm talking about. But the, the, the— was it a bunny? I'm trying to remember. What was it? Um, it was a bunny. Okay, so you know the bunny just sprinting and sprinting, you know what I'm saying? And then somewhere taking naps afterwards because they done They done explosively like wore themselves out there. Yeah, the air and the turtle. And, and then here the turtle just taking just, just a— yes, air. Yep. And the, the turtle is just a— just step back. Boring, boring. Nobody don't want to watch the turtle. Why? Because the, you know, the air is running and you all that excitement and stuff. And guess who win the race at the end? The boring wins. Okay, that's why time in the market beats timing the market. Everybody want all this excitement. Oh, it's going up. Oh, it's going down. Oh, did you know all of this other stuff, but nobody wants to just every single day do something that creates consistency. Thank you, y'all. Y'all are amazing. It is the turtle and the hare, right? And so, um, the turtle always win the race. Yeah, the turtle always win a race. So I'm just saying, that's how people are wired. They don't like consistency, all right? They don't like to just The people don't like the boring phases of life. And see, I love the boring phases of life because, because to me, one of the greatest powers that you can ever build for yourself is self-trust. Self-trust is not the same as confidence, all right? Confidence is, is like a feeling that you have, like, but self-trust comes from actually doing what you say you're gonna do. You know what I'm saying? It's validating yourself through action, all right? It's not, it's not just a feeling. It's not limited to a feeling. And ain't nothing wrong with confidence. I love confidence, and I love the, the spirit of courage. But when you have self-trust— most people don't trust themselves— when you have self-trust, that comes from putting in the work. That comes from putting in hard work. And you know what? That comes from putting in work when nobody is watching you. I don't need nobody to watch me to get up every day and to work out and to, you know, steward my body well. I don't need nobody to watch me do that. I don't need nobody to watch me invest and cut back on expenses and make sure I'm investing in assets. That's for me, you know what I'm saying? Like, and it builds a self-trust. And so, and that relationship between you and yourself, that is important. That, that, that, that brings security. Too many people are insecure, and when you're insecure, that's your identity. You're going to operate from that place. I don't mean to get psychological on you guys, But that is so— that we learned this in, in Krav Maga, in martial arts: slow is smooth and smooth is fast. So, you know, I sometimes I work with people, um, who are new there, and, uh, and, and our trainer, um, trusts me to do that just because I've been there for a while and I'm, I'm not like aggressive or anything. I'm very kind when someone's coming in new. And so We always say— and so they try to go fast and they making too many mistakes. And it's like, you're, you're trying to go too fast. You need to go slow first, okay? You got to get the movement right, okay? You're doing elbows, your fist is closed, your hands should be open to give you more power. Like, there's certain things you're doing and you need to learn how to do them slow first. And then when you learn how to do them slow, you get smooth. And then smooth is fast. And then you can step it up and you can put the the, you know what I'm saying, the pedal to the metal. But some people, they just want to take off, man. They just, you know what I'm saying? So it's just how we wired, y'all. Slow and steady. What do you think? Look at wealthy people. Do you think they— they're, they're slow and steady, very patient. They invest in, in things that they don't mind waiting for, okay? Y'all want people who have invested in crypto just last year want a bull run right away. First of all, the way crypto was going is that it took 4 years to get to a bull run. So how do you come in and just want to make money in like 12 months from crypto? Not saying that the possibility is not there, because sometimes in life people get lucky, but luck is not a system that you can thrive on and that you can rely on. It's luck. And people will tell you that, like some people say, I just got lucky, I got the right— you know what I'm saying?, but we're not relying on that. We're relying on structures and systems. And so what I don't want you to do is become exit liquidity because there are people that are structured. They're sitting up, they're watching what's happening right now. What do you think wealthy people are doing? What do you think wealthy people are investing in right now? Today, yesterday, last month. That's what I'm gonna show you guys is what I'm investing in, right? During opportunity right now. Now here's of course where I always connect to XRP, and I want to say that I'm going to connect this to XRP, um, because XRP— again, people want all the hype. XRP, only the only time people think of it is when a bull market is coming. I was thinking of it as a solutionist, not as something that I would trade, okay? What is XRP built for? It's not built on euphoria. Everybody wants the euphoria. I'm trying to tell you, I'm not— I never build XRP on hype. You never hear me come and build it on hype. Now, can some hopium be in there? And I'll get to the Super Chat. Absolutely. But it's not built on euphoria. It was built for settlement. It was built for cross-border liquidity. Where do you think we're gonna need that? It was built for moments where capital needs to move quickly without prefunding, um, accounts and without waiting on correspondent banks to clear and trust. Okay? Because that, that's what's happening now. You gotta trust. Everybody on both sides, right? It was not built for all of the euphoria. It was built for that. It was built for a liquidity crisis. If liquidity becomes strained globally and that strain shows up in the bond markets and currency markets and funding markets, then you know what? This is how you got to look at this. And this is why I choose certain assets like HBAR and XLM and XRP, because assets that improve liquidity efficiency are going to become needed. That is a strategic move, all right? That's not a hype move, that's not a euphoric move, okay? Thank you so much, uh, 3 Diglets. I love this. Wealthy people are investing in silver and gold and— okay, and BA XRP. Okay, so I thank you so much, I appreciate your, your generosity. Um, but wealthy people are investing in silver, gold, and XRP. Okay, so that is what they're investing in. All right, and so, and I don't know if, and I don't know if the BA XRP was good or bad, but I want, and, but either way, that they are investing in, uh, you are right with that comment. And, and I don't know how you're, uh, how, which, which angle you're saying it, but they are investing in silver, gold, and XRP. I want XRP to hit $1 right away. I would love for it to hit $1. Don't know if it will. I already have my limit orders set there. All right, um, thank you so much. I appreciate this, Kamilah Stevenson. Hey, what's up, Percy? What's going on? I appreciate this. Uh, I finally got that iTrust, uh, capital. Absolutely. And see, um, somebody said potty mouth. I get it, you know. Hey, you know, no judgments on here right now. Um, I keep— one of the things that I've said is, hey, get your stuff off the exchanges. Get it to, first of all, a cold wallet. Tangem is really good. I have the link in the description for that. They actually have a promotion you can get if when you sign up with them, you can get some Bitcoin, and they have yield already there, so you can compound your growth on Tangem. They also have a 10% discount. They're running, they're running a special sale also until, um, I don't know, sometime this month, but, um, they still have their 10% off that's going on, and you can get Bitcoin, okay? They— I don't know, it's like $20 worth of Bitcoin for free or whatever, plus 10% off, plus they have yield, and you can start staking your Ethereum and your Solana, and they have other yield, uh, products there. So like I said, I suggest— not financial advice, um, but I suggest people get their stuff off the exchanges. The other thing that I want to suggest is that you get exposed to a, um, some type of institutional grade custody account, okay? So you can put your assets, your XRP, you can first, you can put them inside a Roth IRA, which means you, you pay no taxes on it once it appreciates. To me, it's a no-brainer. Why? If I believe that XRP is going to move in the future, or these assets— HBAR, XDC, XLM, whatever your asset is, Chainlink, whatever— if I believe that the future is bright for these assets these technologies, what do y'all think is going to happen like 5, 10 years from now, right? Do y'all get what I'm saying? Like, there's— I'll get into that in a minute, but I don't, I don't understand where people are with this, where they don't understand what's gonna— everything is about to get tokenized. Everything. We're, we're talking hundreds of trillions of dollars, okay? Anyway, I suggest you put some of it— you expose yourself a little bit to a Roth IRA. Account because again, you don't pay any taxes on that. And also they have an institutional grade custody account through their premium accounts, okay? Which means that you can also get yield on that. They have staking also available. The USDC coins, they also have yield for that as well. And I'm sure that a lot of these institutional custodies are going to have eventually yield for assets like XRP in the future. They just need the Regulatory Clarity Act. In order to, you know, uh, present some of these options available. But you're going to be able to see them everywhere. Now there is a way you can get yield even now on your XRP and your assets. For me, it's too risky. You got to ask yourself, where is the yield coming from? And, um, and you got to trust the fact that you are, you are getting— you, you're not in control of your XRP if you bring— if you getting yield on it. Now I do have some of mine wrapped in Flare, but I have a a small portion of it because I'm in observation right now. I don't have a super large portion of it wrapped in Flare getting yield. I'm just kind of doing research on it. Okay, but be very careful with the yield. I believe there's now like 22— within a couple of days, 22 million, um, of XRP. 22 million XRP moved into the Xaymon, uh, wallet because they're offering yield, uh, with Flare. And yeah, people are participating, but you are giving up the right to your XRP when you do that. I just want to make that very, very clear. Okay, so anyway, um, they do have a custody account, a long-term account. It's a closed loop system. So only if I were you, I would only put, um, I would only expose myself to as much as I want to work with long term. Okay, so I am, um, working with them to make sure that my assets appreciate and I have the opportunity to get yield on that in the future. And I love that position um, different accounts for different reasons. They do have a $100 funding bonus if you use the link in the description. But again, I say this now, there are a lot of people who have gotten their accounts together, but some of you procrastinate, you know what I mean? And it doesn't mean that you gotta put it in iTrust. I'm just saying you procrastinate with setting up your structure. When things get volatile and you got your stuff on those exchanges, don't say nothing if, if things get locked up and, and you, you know, you wind up complaining about that. I'm telling you Don't trust that everything is going to run as smoothly as you think it is, okay? So that's why I keep saying this, because I'm, I'm like, hey, get your structure in place now. Don't wait, okay? Now I'm not saying that with everything I'm saying, the type of assets that I think will win in this system, and even if we have a pullback or whatever, I'm bullish long-term for these assets. I'm always long-minded, okay? I'm always long-term minded, I'll say, right? That doesn't mean that things go up tomorrow or anything like that. What I'm trying to get you to pay attention to is signals. It means if stress spreads into the funding markets, the relevance of neutral bridge assets are going to increase. That's all I'm saying. Okay. That's a different outlook than, oh, the number's going to go up. Oh, the price is going to go up. All right. That's a different outlook. We're just talking about the relevance, right? The necessity. I've been talking about the necessity. It's built for this. It's built for crisis. All right, so, um, I want to make that clear because if, if, if, you know, I don't know what's going to happen with the market, okay? Crypto could drop first, okay? Alts could get hit, uh, XRP could go down and retest some of the levels that people are not emotionally prepared for. I am. I would love for it to drop and get to some, some of my limit orders, all right? Um, yeah, then we might have some forced selling, um, because people are emotional, okay? But for selling is not a sign that your thesis is invalidated. Okay, it just, it's emotional to me, right? It's just a different phase. But guess what the next phase is? Let me give you some hope on the other side of this. Like if, because I'm talking about, you know, prices may go down. I don't know, we, it could, it could not, who knows. But the next phase is the rotation phase. Do understand that if people are selling, where do you think that liquidity is going? And if capital rotates out of fragile leverage and into collateral and infrastructure, you want to already be positioned before the shift is obvious. Okay, again, I am. I don't know about you. I'm not panicking, okay, at all. I am planning, and I'm hoping that you are planning too, right? Um, let me just make sure I'm not missing any, uh, uh, let me see. All right. Thank you so much for this. I appreciate this. Um, it's not difficult to set up a cold wallet. It's much different than back in 2021. That is so true. When I bought mine, things are much easier now. Do yourself a favor and get one now. The Tangem wallet is— and you know what, there's other ones. There's Decent, there's Ledger, um, there's, uh, Trezor. There's other ones, okay? Uh, but the reason why I give Tangem is because, you know, it, it acts like a card. It's very easy for a lot of people, and it's cheap. It's affordable. Like some of the other ones are more expensive. I know my Ledger Stax is a lot more expensive than the Tangem. All right, so it's very easy and it's affordable. So if you got one action item, at least get a cold wallet, or at least, uh, do the due diligence. If you are somebody who want to open up the iTrust account as well, it's just like opening up a bank account. You go on there, you give them your name, your information, you know, you got go through the validation, uh, process. You got to show your ID and stuff, just like— and then it takes like 1 or 2 days to get verified. Just make the steps, even if— you know what I'm saying? Now, you won't get the $100 funding bonus unless you fund the account, okay? But it will give you an extra $100 which you can use towards assets. Just start making some moves, y'all. That's all I'm saying. Like, one thing at a time, y'all. I'm not trying to tell you guys to do everything overnight. I've been telling— I've been saying this for a long time. One step at a time. You can buy a $55 Tangem cold wallet, okay? It's on sale right now, right? I think they're originally like $70 or whatever, but if you use the, the, uh, the link with the 10% off, it's a little bit cheaper. It's not that hard, it's not that expensive. Get your stuff off the exchanges, especially if you're gonna make— if you, if you're trying to sell anything, well, good luck with that. Even real estate is being tokenized, Percy, is— and that is so true. Real estate is going to be— everything, every asset. Do y'all Y'all, I don't think y'all get this. First of all, let me just say this, okay, because I need y'all to understand this, and that because it's a good point. I need y'all to get a real picture of what is ahead, um, because some people are just going to miss it, right? Historically, when we have geopolitical crisis and they escalate and markets start to destabilize and central banks respond with liquidity, whether, you know, it's quantitative easing or whatever, it's the same thing. More money is going to enter the system, and that money Listen here, it does not just sit in cash. It flows into assets, it flows into commodities, it flows into financial infrastructure, it flows where it can preserve value and maintain power. That is how the cycle works. Okay, so I know right now a lot of people are giving their opinions about war and stuff like that, and I get it, but I'ma tell you, institutions are not arguing. They are building, they are building, they are moving and shaking. BlackRock is preparing to tokenize ETFs. JP Morgan is talking about backing regulatory clarity. As a matter of fact, BlackRock, um, even to Percy's point, BlackRock, um, has— and it's a video, it's, it's— go look it up, it's right there, okay? BlackRock is publicly stating that they are tokenizing everything. They said tokenization is the future of financial markets. Larry Fink said that stocks is going to be tokenized, bonds and real estate and other assets. They are going to live on the blockchain rails. They've already launched their tokenized products and they're going to be actively exploring putting traditional finance instruments on chain. They said everything will be tokenized. They— for on their end, in 3 to 12 months, y'all, that doesn't— think about that's happening randomly at the same time as geopolitical stress. I don't think so. Financial architecture always accelerates when the old system is starting to show cracks. What does that mean, right? What that means is that if this conflict even right now starts to tighten, uh, liquidity, right, and then expose the fragility in the funding markets, then the response is not going to be let's go back to 20, uh, 2005 banking. It's not going to be that. The response is more tokenization, more tokenization, more tokenization. Organization, right? Faster settlement, uh, uh, tighter regulatory rails, infrastructure that reduces friction. The capital markets, they are adjusting, you guys. And the scale on this, like I said, we are not talking about a $2 trillion sandbox. We are talking $100 to $200 trillion global system into digital rails. Do you guys know what that's going to do? And that's what you're buying, that's what you're investing in. Do y'all understand this? And then when we transition into that, and we— as we're accelerating under stress, assets— to me, this is why I love these, again, type of assets. Assets tied to settlement infrastructure are going to be viewed very differently. They are. Okay, so there's going to be a repricing on assets. Hear me now, there's going to be a repricing on assets. You can, you can stay and do what you've been doing, you know, um, or you can get in on this infrastructure. Uh, thank you so much, William. I appreciate this. How do I feel about Caleb Brown? Um, I love Caleb Brown. Me personally, that's where my, uh, exit— my exit orders are. They're right on Caleb Brown. Why? Because I don't want to worry about not being able to sell, and I have some nice sell order prices, all right? And I don't want nothing to go wrong, and I love that they're institutional grade. And even, uh, back in the last volatility, um, where we had, um, on October 10th, the liquidating event when the exchanges froze and nobody could get in. And, you know, it took me about— it took me a while to get in, okay? I was— I couldn't get in through my password, through my face, you know, like I couldn't get into my exchange accounts because I was trying to buy. I was trying to buy them at good prices and I couldn't even get in. So, but Caleb Brown was totally fine. Their execution went through their buy orders, their sell orders went through. Um, so I like them for certainty. I have my— I have sell orders already on Caleb Brown. So buy and sell orders, they're on Caleb Brown. And, and the other thing you got to think about, y'all, is that, okay, let's say there's a repricing. What's going— what do you think is going to happen when you're trying to move your money off the exchanges? What you think gonna happen? You think your bank's not gonna say like, hold on, why are you moving this money? What have you— have you ever moved this much money? Like, you might have freezes and delays and they can lock your stuff up for months, okay? I don't want all of that. That type of stuff happens on exchanges with volatility. And I need you to know something: whatever you have on those exchanges, you don't— like somebody had said the other day, they was like, I got 70% of my crypto on the exchanges and 30%— I hope I'm getting that number right— it was 70/30. I think it was 70 on the exchanges, 70% on the exchanges, and 30% off the exchanges. I said no. I said you don't have 70% on the exchanges, they have 70% of your crypto and they owe you 70%. So the way it really is worded is the exchanges owe me 70% of my crypto and then I have my 30% off the exchanges. I need y'all to see it the right way because if they want to, in a, in a, in a moment of volatility or whatever, they can freeze things. They can say you can't get into your account. Robinhood did it with GameStop. Go look and go back and look at that. They can do that if they want to, okay? Some people have even lost their crypto on exchanges, all right? So it's under— it's, it's in the wording. Go look at the wording. You don't own it if it's on the exchanges. They own your crypto and they owe you your crypto. It's just that simple, and I need you guys to know that. Uh, there's a lot of— yeah, there's a lot of signals. Uh, unfortunately it's the smoke in Iran. Yeah, there's a lot of signals, there's a lot happening. Um, yeah, uh, I love Caleb Brown. You— they— you do pay for it, it's concierge service, but I'm okay with that. I need— I don't want any slippage. That's another thing, slippage. You trying to sell something at a certain price and you don't know what you really gonna sell it at, you know what I'm saying, when you're dealing with all of the volatility. Okay, um, I'm not sure about all the rules in London, but I, I mean, cold wallets work everywhere. So you can, um, I don't, I don't think, um, their services work internationally, uh, but get it out, get it into a cold wallet. You can get it into a Tangem cold wallet, any cold wallet, Trezor. Um, my link is in the description is for Tangem, but I'm not, I'm not limit, you know what I'm saying? You can get any cold wallet you want. I just use Tangem because it's very easy and it's very affordable, right? Oh, people gonna sell if it go up. They gonna, they gonna be selling at $5. All I can do is let— I'ma just laugh. And nothing's wrong with taking profit, by the way. I am talking about the fact that I think that people are gonna sell emotionally. If $5 is a part of your game plan right now, today, you know how much you're gonna sell at $5, and you know how much you're gonna scale out at, that's different. But I think people are going to sell emotionally. Okay, y'all, I already have my limits set up for what I will sell at. It's already done, okay? I'm not— so I'm not FOMOing in, I'm not emotionally making decisions. But I can guarantee you, when the markets move, people are going to FOMO because they're not settled. Everybody's emotional. Um, yeah, they're gonna be selling real fast. And guess who you're gonna be selling to? You're gonna be— you're gonna be selling to smart money. They're gonna be taking your stuff. And not only are people gonna FOMO out, but if there is a dip, people gonna sell too, because that's— that's— they sell emotionally when the markets dip. As well, right? So that also happens. Okay, thank you so much, I appreciate this, Fluffy. Um, it's not too difficult to set up a cold wallet, I did it and I have spelling and reading problems. Well, I thank you for sharing that, you know what I mean? Because, and we ain't gotta, we ain't gotta know how to spell or read to be successful, honestly. As you see, Fluffy got, you know what I'm saying, they stuff already together. Right? And so it's just these little small little things you can do, right? I appreciate this. I appreciate the encouragement. You know, I just want to get you guys to get out of this theory and theoretical stage and into implementation stage, into activation stage. Okay, um, 100% agree with this. XRP utility is built for a crisis like this, but for some reason Google and any LLM like ChatGPT, Grok disagree. I think it's strategic, and probably it is, but I wouldn't be listening to, um, them on, on, on something like this. I mean, you have to follow— all of this is intertwined with macro events, geopolitical tension, um, being able to know things that are not put out in the public. Ripple got over 1,000 NDAs, like, so there's just some things that are going to be missing from this. You gotta kind of go deep. Yes, AI can help you with, um, some of this stuff, but they're not going to 100% like know what XRP is really going to do. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, nobody really does. Nobody can really even say what price it will go to, like, exactly, you know what I mean? Like, there's just— there's ways that you can know how it can get to double digits, how it can get to triple digits and beyond, you know what I mean? There are certain events that have to take place for that. I think the banks already know. I think they already made, uh, they, they already know at what price they're going to come together and invest, or in adopting— let me say that, adopting, uh, XRP and utilizing its— because they can't do it. They can't do it when it's in uncertainty. They can't do it with slippage. They cannot do that. Can you imagine, like, trying to click? Y'all got to remember they are moving billions and trillions of dollars. They're not moving $1,000. They're not even moving a million dollars. Like, they are moving a lot of money. So any amount of slippage is really, really bad when you're moving money at scale, okay? So they have to have it at a place where there is no slippage involved, okay? Uh, Tangem is in the middle. Oh, awesome, awesome, awesome. I love to see it. I love to see it. S&P didn't flinch with this war. I was prepared to move and didn't have to. Yeah, they are, uh, holding up pretty strong for now. Now if, if anything comes out where it's like it's going to be longer than what they're expected, then, you know, because some of it is already priced in, but it's when you get that news that is unexpected, that's when the S&P starts to, um, respond. So we'll see what happens. All we can do is see day to day. I got some option plays. Thank you so much, Cap. Uh, hey sis, can you explain why it's important to move your assets into cold wallet? Like, what's the worst case scenario? Uh, the, the wealth— number one, we don't even need to look at a worst case scenario. You don't own it. You don't own your crypto if it's on the exchange. And the question is, do you want to own it? That's the first question. The second thing is, when there's high levels of volatility, the exchanges can freeze. They can stop. You can— no money in, no money out, just like Coinbase did not too long ago. Right? Nobody's money wind up in jeopardy, but it's still like access denied. Like, you can't get access to your stuff. That's a liquidity crisis for some people if they need to get access to that and they can't move it. And really, they could, they could say you can't— it's frozen for a month, you can't move this asset for this long. Like, they could do what they want is what I'm saying, because they own it and they owe you your assets. So if you have it on a cold wallet Um, the worst that can happen has already happened, which is you don't own it. It's already the worst case scenario. You don't own it. They owe you your crypto. And the question is, do you want somebody owing you your crypto? That's not a, like, an institutional back— like, it's an exchange, and they, they don't— there's, there's nothing in writing that protects you, in a sense. Okay, now I'm not saying that this happens like most people are okay with buying and stuff in a calm market. When things are calm, usually things are okay. But what happens when we enter into volatility, which we're in the middle of war, we're in the middle of a situation that could cause volatility. So things happen differently when you're in a calm market versus a volatile crisis type of situation.. And all you got to do is go back to October 10th and kind of see like some of the things that, that has happened. And you got some people who lost their crypto on exchanges, right? Some, some exchanges went bankrupt and then they lost their crypto, okay? So there are risks that are involved, um, but that's the reason why some people don't even understand XRP, because they look at it in calm situations versus volatile and crisis type situations. An asset that is created to resolve a liquidity crunch is going to be viewed very differently and valued very differently in a crisis situation than it is a calm situation. So most people look at XRP in a calm situation, and that's why they can't see its value. Um, and when they look at the price, the price doesn't reflect that value because a repricing can happen when there's a necessity, right? So, um, yeah, this is a possibility. I mean, it's— even if you go back and read the fine print, they'll let you know that they own it and they owe you. They owe you your crypto, you know. So, um, yeah, like, you don't— I don't— especially something like XRP, because XRP is the one asset that could be utilized in a liquidity crunch. So if any The first asset I would get off is XRP. That would be the first asset that I get off. Okay, do not buy cold wallet from— oh yeah, this is a good thing. Thank you so much, I appreciate this and your generosity. Do not buy from Amazon or any third-party website, only get it from the website of the manufacturer. So if you are going for like Tangem, my link is straight to Tangem's website. Um, if you're doing Trezor, go to Trezor's website. Ledger go to ledger.com. Decent, go to Decent's website. Do not get it from a third-party website like Amazon or anything. Okay, I love XLM as well, right? And Tandem is up. They have a lot of innovations, right? They are, they are giving yield. They have products already. They are— I've heard talks about them even maybe teaming up with Flare. So awesome, Desmond, you're opening up an iTrust account. That is awesome. Because my thing is we got to get these structures in place first, okay? So we do not want to be waiting on the back end for this, right? We got time to do it, but at some point, you know, people are just gonna miss out. It's just— it is what it is, you know. We've had months to prepare for this, right? Um, so I am going to— I'm making sure I didn't miss any— I'm going to, um, like I said, get on with my members. I'm going to talk through exactly what I'm invested in as we are in this, uh, particular situation with this energy crisis, the moves that I'm making. And I'm going to give a blueprint, so I'm going to go a little deeper with them. Now remember too, guys, um, the link is in the description for my coaching program as well. Um, you know, I'm gonna get on with them after my membership, um, live, as a matter of fact, because I want to walk them through some other things as well. Um, this is what I do. You know, we are in a, a very interesting time. There's Uh, you know what, there's so much information we can't even keep up, okay? Like, I— there's like 20 different things that I could talk about right now, seriously, right? Um, you can't even keep up. That's how quick news is flashing our way. I'll be back on Wednesday to talk about some more with you guys, but it's so much to keep up with, and things are changing and adapting really, really quickly. So if you're not a person that's like— like, if you're not like a go-getter and you're not like position, you, you just gonna get left behind because things are adapting and adjusting so quickly. And if you're not adjusting at the rate of which it's adapting, then you're going to be left behind. And if you're not being educated, because of course if you invest in these assets, you have to get educated on these assets, right? You got to understand what you're doing, okay?
