⚠️ APRIL CRYPTO CRASH? MY THOUGHTS ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOW... HBAR, LUNA, KIWAMI NFT ⚠️

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. Shout out to the Gold Squad. We look for gold in every single aspect of our lives and we always find it. Now today we are back for another daily market update. BTC has pulled back a little bit. We're gonna check those charts today. We're also gonna talk about a bunch of stuff with altcoins. We have the EU Parliament making some moves. We've got some Hedera talk in this video, some NFT talk as well. At the end, I'm going to talk about one of the NFTs that I'm really— I picked up two of them, so we'll talk about that. But let's start off with the total market cap. We're at $2 trillion. Looks like we're about to slip below it. We're about to slip below that $2 trillion level here. Um, I'm telling you, like I've been telling you for months, or actually probably a full month now, that we have problems with this $2 trillion and staying above it for long periods of time. Uh, but BTC $45,788, volume is still extremely high today, uh, like total volume. Um, Ethereum $3,200, right? It's an interesting lineup here. XRP is— for some reason XRP is down 6.49%, standing out a little bit right there. We've got Scale. I have not looked into Scale, I'll be completely honest. I do not know what Scale is. Hopefully it's scalable if they named it Scale. We have Zilliqa still doing well here, GMT still doing well, but all coins have slightly pulled back with Bitcoin here. As you can see, I mean, we've put in some more time, some more candles, and we can see that we really did reject that 200-day SMA right there. Like, that was a clean, perfect rejection of it. Um, and dude, I've been telling you for the past week, the start— I do not have a good feeling about the start of April at all, right? And that's simply based off intuition. And now look what it is. It's, it's March 31st. April 1st is tomorrow, and we are on our way down right now. Now I feel, I feel kind of stupid reacting to 2.54%, right? Like the— like with Bitcoin right now, the moves are so little that every move is, um, important. But hopefully we just bounce off this, uh, level right here as support, $45,000, and I want to head back up there. So moving on to some of the mainstream news, so where do I think Bitcoin is headed? Down, to be honest. Start of April, I do not think is going to be good. Um, and then I think maybe June will be better for Bitcoin, but April, I don't know, I got weird vibes from April. Um, and you can see that this, like, this could easily start coming down here pretty hard, and we will see what happens. EU Parliament, okay, passes a privacy-busting crypto rule. Despite the industry criticism, lawmakers are set to end even the smallest anonymous crypto transactions and plan measures that could see unregulated exchanges cut off. Now this is absolutely horrible. They're extending anti-money laundering requirements that apply to conventional payments over €1,000 or €1,000 and €1.114 1,114, uh, to the crypto sector. Uh, they also scrapped the floor for payments. So this is not good, dude. They're— they are trying to remove anonymity. But I can tell you right now that the— where they trapped you was when you sent your ID and a photo of your face when you did the KYC. That is when they trapped you. So Really, do you have a problem with this if you sent in your ID? Like, do you really? How many people are really trying to make anonymous transactions here, right? We expected them to do something like this, and it's not like we didn't already send in our ID and a smiley little picture of us smiling or something with our ID to these companies. Um, so this is expected from me. Um, now we have this, dude, I highly recommend reading through this. I read through this a bit this morning. Use cases for HCS, that's Hedera Consensus Service, based records in play-to-earn/NFT gaming. And they give 3 examples here, but one of the most interesting ones I saw was this one down here about meta records. Now meta records Sounds like Akashic Records or some kind of record of an online, like a person's entire online memory, like a record of them. So basically, because the Hedera Consensus Service-based game records decouple gameplay events from smart contract interactions, this methodology allows us, or methodology allows us to abstract gameplay information. So what is this even? A meta record would be a log of players— of a player's activity that persists across games. So imagine somebody was cheating in a game, like a video game, they were cheating, like hacking or something, um, and then you— that would be on their permanent, like, a criminal record, like a, a gaming criminal record. So this is exactly what that is, um, and they can create a unique Hedera Consensus Service topic for each player tied to their Hedera ID. So super cool right there.

All right, so we do actually have a sponsor for this video. This is CoinsPaid. They do have a token right here, CPD. We will be going over that in a second, but this is a Bitcoin and crypto payment processing gateway and business crypto wallet. So basically this allows merchants to accept crypto. They've processed over $6 billion in volume in 2021, already serving 800 plus, as you can see right here, 800 plus satisfied, um, online businesses right there. Very successful, booming company already, but they are trying to get their token, um, more attention here. So we're going to talk about the token today. It is a small cap coin, right? $1.9 million market cap right here. But basically the reason that this is potentially going to do good in a bull and a bear market is because these merchants that are using CoinsPaid, they actually get discounts on their like merchant fees when they stake CPD token. So as this business grows, the coin value could literally grow. Right? Because the merchants have to pay— they have to buy CPD and stake it, which means they're not selling it, right? They're holding long-term. Um, they have to buy and stake it to get discounts on the, um, on their merchant fees. So this is very cool right here. You can also farm this. They have yield farming set up. They're building out a DeFi ecosystem with the coin as well. Um, You can see right here, BuyCPD, DAO Maker is a partner, which once I saw that, I'm like, okay, that's pretty good. We can check the exchanges this is on. We've got Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Uniswap, right? Basically on only decentralized exchanges as of, as of right now. Obviously they could potentially get on other exchanges in the future, but the demand will be high for this because of the merchant growth. As the merchants grow right? And as the company grows, um, they will have to be buying this CPD. Right now it's 1 cent, right? This is a very small cap token, so use safe investing principles. Also in 2022, they are expanding into Latin America, and, uh, that will be even more merchants that will potentially buy CPD token. And the reason why that's important is because they're buying a lot, right? They're buying a lot and they're staking it. for the long term so that they get discounts. Now, shout out to CoinsPaid for sponsoring this video, and let's keep going.

Moving on, we have Dogecoin. Now we have Billy Markus, the Dogecoin co-founder, giving the best advice to the Dogecoin community that I've ever heard. Okay, look what he says: Dogecoin needs to market itself as a digital currency. There's already infinite digital speculation and digital utility tokens and chains. Right? And pointless speculation tokens are made daily. Here's the part: Dogecoin is the best position— is in the best position to be the most used for purchasing and tipping. If you want Dogecoin to succeed, continue to be relevant, and have a reason to, uh, and need to exist, utility comes from using it, accepting it, and showing what others benefit, uh, from it, right? Best advice I've ever heard for the Dogecoin community. This is what you exactly need to do. I wanted to throw that in there because that is exactly how Dogecoin needs to function here. So one of the final things, and we'll talk about a little bit NFTs right here. Watcher Guru says, just in, Terra Luna is now the third largest disclosed Bitcoin holder in the world with 30,727 Bitcoin. The third largest in the world, Terra Luna, is merging their success and basically chaining themselves to Bitcoin a little bit here, right? So if Bitcoin fails, Terra is going to get hit decently hard. It's a decent move to chain yourself to Bitcoin. I would have chained myself to something else like, uh, like XRP or HBAR or Ethereum. Actually, I'd chain myself to Ethereum. But Terra supporting Bitcoin there. This is the project right here, Kiwami Genesis. This is not sponsored at all, but Kiwami Genesis, or Kiwami— look how clean this one is that I got. This one looks with the golden type jacket. Um, this is like an anime play. So the big anime project out right now is Azuki. Azuki just had a massive party um, here in LA for NFT LA. Um, but yeah, this, this is like— floor is sitting at 0.41 or 0.4 right now. Let me see what I bought mine for. I minted them like before the reveal, so look what I paid here— 0.13 and 0.13. And I was talking about this project before, 0.13 Now what are we at, man? 0.4. Okay, so that is literally a 4x, 3.5x there, right? And these look cool as hell. Good roadmap. Just wanted to give a little, uh, shout out to that project. Um, but that is all we've got for the daily market update. Appreciate all of you for watching. I love every single one of you, and goodbye.
